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:14.70 | has made you free of what you made. You can deny Him, but you cannot | call on Him in vain. He always gives what He has made in place of |
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 |

W1:62.3 | 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 |
W1:73.2 | to maintain it, peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and | call for “righteous” judgment. They become the middlemen the ego |
W1:76.4 | It is insanity that thinks these things. You | call them laws and put them under different names in a long catalogue |

W1:98.4 | will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the | call we heard and answer it, when they have come to make their choice |
W1:105.11 | give Him more. At least remember hourly to say the words which | call on Him to give you what He wills to give and wills you to |
W1:106.1 | If you will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to | call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing |
W1:109.4 | Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You | call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to |
W1:109.9 | You rest within the peace of God today and | call upon your brothers from your rest, to draw them to their rest |
W1:121.12 | this changed perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you | call a friend. Try to transfer the light you learned to see around |

W1:155.8 | Such is salvation's | call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it |
W1:160.6 | no stranger in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It will | call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own. |
W1:161.11 | you will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes | call forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies |
W1:162.2 | that sounds around the world. The dead awake in answer to its | call. And those who live and hear this sound will never look on death. |
W1:164.2 | beyond the world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient | call to which He gives an ancient answer. You will recognize them |
W1:164.2 | recognize them both. For they are but your answer to your Father's | call to you. Christ answers for you, echoing your Self, using your |
W1:164.3 | gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in your name the | call He hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him |
W1:167.2 | this world there appears to be a state that is life's opposite. You | call it death. Yet we have learned that the idea of death takes many |
W1:169.3 | attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open mind can hear the | call to waken. It is not shut tight against God's Voice. It has |
W1:170.8 | those who see in him their safety have no guardian, no strength to | call upon in danger, and no mighty warrior to fight for them. |
W1:170.12 | look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made and | call it god no longer. You have reached this place before, but you |
W1:170.13 | attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The | Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as |
W1:R5.3 | Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to | call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more |
W1:R5.11 | my hands, through which I save the world. The Self from Which I | call to you is but your own. To Him we go together. Take your |
W1:181.5 | and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and | call our “sins.” |
W1:182.12 | is your heart's desire. This is the Voice you hear, and this the | Call which cannot be denied. The holy Child remains with you. His |
W1:183.1 | God's Name is holy, but no holier than yours. To | call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. A father gives his |
W1:183.1 | is holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to | call upon your own. A father gives his son his name, and thus |
W1:183.5 | Repeat the Name of God and | call upon your Self, Whose Name is His. Repeat His Name and all the |
W1:183.5 | nameless things on earth slip into right perspective. Those who | call upon the Name of God cannot mistake the nameless for the Name, |
W1:183.7 | of everything that we desire to see; of everything that we would | call our own. |
W1:183.8 | it Himself. Think not He hears the little prayers of those who | call on Him with names of idols cherished by the world. They cannot |
W1:184.8 | But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you | call upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true |
W1:184.8 | what you believe he really is. His body makes response to what you | call him, for his mind consents to take the name you give him as his |
W1:184.15 | living things and You Who are their One Creator. What we made and | call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast |
W1:185.14 | we seek today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the | call of every mind, the hope that lies beyond despair, the love |
W1:186.3 | grounds that modesty is outraged. It is pride that would deny the | call of God Himself. |
W1:186.9 | Is this the Son of God? Could He create such instability and | call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His |
W1:188.8 | We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. But now we | call them back and wash them clean of strange desires and disordered |
W1:194.8 | Place, then, your future in the hands of God. For thus you | call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of |
W1:196.11 | which salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can | call on Him to save you from illusions in His Love, calling Him |
W1:199.5 | none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the | call of freedom round the world with this idea. And would you be |
W1:R6.11 | turn to Him. He will not fail to be available to you each time you | call to Him to help you. Let us offer Him the whole review we now |
W1:202.1 | where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His Voice to | call me home? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
W1:203.1 | [183] I | call upon God's Name and on my own. The Name of God is my deliverance |
W2:I.10 | in this final section we will come to understand that we need only | call to God and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need |
W2:I.10 | of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but | call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all |
W2:221.1 | Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my | call and answer me. |
W2:221.2 | joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's answer to our | call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him |
W2:230.2 | 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 Your will that gave it |
W2:WS.5 | it is here salvation was received. The song of our rejoicing is the | call to all the world that freedom is returned, that time is almost |
W2:232.1 | that You have remained with me and always will be there to hear my | call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my thoughts be |
W2:237.1 | aware it ends the bitter dream of death, aware it is my Father's | call to me. |
W2:WIW.4 | to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the | call of God. And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One |
W2:244.1 | is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He need but | call upon Your Name, and he will recollect his safety and Your Love, |
W2:272.2 | Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation | call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask |
W2:WIHS.5 | Accept your Father's gift. It is a | call from Love to Love that it be but itself. The Holy Spirit is His |
W2:283.1 | Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I | call the Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your |
W2:WILJ.4 | as merciful as every step in His appointed plan to bless His Son and | call him to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. Be not |
W2:324.1 | to wander off a while and then return. Your loving Voice will always | call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in |
W2:327.1 | basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He will hear my | call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my experience that |
W2:327.1 | that He has not abandoned me and loves me still, awaiting but my | call to give me all the help I need to come to Him. |
W2:336.1 | the hidden altar to the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind and | call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought |
W2:347.1 | will, but He is sure it is Your own. And He will speak for me, and | call Your miracle to come to me. |
W2:WAI.4 | as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have attained we | call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and |
W2:356.1 | Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any | call Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what |
W2:356.1 | cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your Son because to | call Your Name is but to call his own. |
W2:356.1 | Name gives answer to Your Son because to call Your Name is but to | call his own. |
W2:E.1 | Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can | call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the |
M:I.2 | someone else, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a | call to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of |

M:1.2 | one saves a thousand years of time as the world judges it. To the | Call itself, time has no meaning. |
M:1.3 | manner. It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the | Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has seen someone |
M:2.1 | and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the | Call. They were chosen for him, because the form of the universal |

M:5.9 | of God. They merely give what has been given them. Very gently they | call to their brothers to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of |
M:13.6 | called by God, and you have answered. Would you now sacrifice that | Call? Few have heard it as yet, and they can but turn to you. There |

Tx:8.74 | as a judge gives anything but an impartial judgment. When the ego | calls on a witness, it has already made the witness an ally. |
Tx:9.19 | Fairy tales can be pleasant or fearful, pretty or ugly, but no one | calls them true. Children may believe them, and so for a while the |
Tx:9.84 | And this altar is in you, because God put it there. His Voice still | calls you to return, and He will be heard when you place no other |
Tx:9.91 | is the act of a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who | calls on his brothers to do likewise. It is an act of faith, because |
Tx:9.99 | think He has not answered your call, you have not answered His. He | calls to you from every part of the Sonship because of His love for |
Tx:11.4 | by definition. There is nothing to prevent you from recognizing all | calls for help as exactly what they are except your own perceived |
Tx:11.38 | need. The ego will therefore distort love and teach you that love | calls forth the responses which the ego can teach. Follow its |
Tx:11.57 | the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father | calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his |
Tx:12.18 | call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your Father | calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you will |
Tx:12.38 | and you see only your own split mind everywhere you look. God | calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your own |
Tx:12.54 | for you have made it manifest in them. And seeing it, its beauty | calls you home. |
Tx:13.37 | Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear and bright and | calls forth one response. There is no darkness, and there is no |
Tx:14.13 | join with me within. Fail not the only purpose to which my teaching | calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him by teaching him |
Tx:14.45 | error is always the same. There is no contradiction in what holiness | calls forth. Its one response is healing, without regard for what is |
Tx:14.46 | turn from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness | calls everyone to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven |
Tx:15.59 | You do not find it difficult to believe that, when another | calls on God for love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think |
Tx:15.80 | meet together. You are not alone in this. The will of your creations | calls to you to share your will with them. Turn, then, in peace from |
Tx:15.81 | can be denied. You are forever in a relationship so holy that it | calls to everyone to escape from loneliness and join you in your |
Tx:16.40 | not go through fear to love? For such the journey seems to be. Love | calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the call of hate, and |
Tx:17.29 | have raised their substitutes to such predominance that when truth | calls to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a substitute. |
Tx:17.71 | the situation and touches everyone to whom the situation's purpose | calls. It calls to everyone. There is no situation which does not |
Tx:17.71 | and touches everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. It | calls to everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your |
Tx:17.72 | to lead you to illusions transformed to means for truth. [Truth | calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy |
Tx:17.73 | for faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for it | calls you to salvation and to peace. |
Tx:17.74 | Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It | calls forth just the same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and |
Tx:18.21 | He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses everyone who | calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will |
Tx:18.62 | desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy instant holds. It | calls to you to be yourself within its safe embrace. There are the |
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:19.15 | garden which He would make of it. For faith brings peace, and so it | calls on truth to enter and make lovely what has already been |
Tx:19.17 | so remain unless a mind not part of it can give it absolution. Sin | calls for punishment as error for correction, and the belief that |
Tx:19.25 | mind will suffer and not let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still | calls to it, and the mind hears it and yearns for it, making itself a |
Tx:19.27 | This is not really a change in your perception, for it is sin that | calls for punishment, not error. The Holy Spirit cannot punish sin. |
Tx:19.28 | Mistakes are for correction, and they call for nothing else. What | calls for punishment must call for nothing. Every mistake must be a |
Tx:19.40 | creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone who | calls and bring him rest by joining you. |

Tx:19.58 | is to hurt yourself, and to limit the happiness that you would have | calls upon pain to fill your meager store and make your lives |
Tx:19.94 | the appeal of death is lost forever as love's attraction stirs and | calls to you. From beyond each of the obstacles to love, Love Itself |
Tx:20.16 | been made different. Every adjustment is therefore a distortion and | calls upon defenses to uphold it against reality. Knowledge requires |
Tx:20.16 | necessary because they are not true. Who need adjust to truth, which | calls on only what he is, to understand? |
Tx:21.51 | to It as breathing to the body. They are the obvious response to | calls for help, the only one It makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the |
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. |
Tx:24.62 | Nothing it needs does he deny to what he loves. And while it | calls to him, he hears no other Voice. No effort is too great, no |
Tx:25.28 | to an event which justifies his love. He will hear plainly that the | calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will |
Tx:25.28 | will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really | calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but |
Tx:25.44 | prefers the darkness and maintain he wants to see? The wish to see | calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of |
Tx:26.37 | a change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that | calls out from a past forever more gone by. And everything which |
Tx:26.62 | what is the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What God | calls one will be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united— |
Tx:26.63 | The miracle but | calls your ancient name, which you will recognize because the truth |
Tx:26.63 | because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, your brother | calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the Son of God. |
Tx:26.77 | Think but how holy you must be from whom the Voice for God | calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may awake in him the Voice |
Tx:27.73 | and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that | calls with love to waken him. [A gentler dream, in which his |
Tx:29.36 | will continue in death's services. Each form it takes in some way | calls for death. And those who serve the lord of death have come to |
Tx:29.43 | can be no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God | calls will never answer in His place. There is no other answer you |
Tx:30.71 | You do not forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a real attack that | calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in being asked to make |
Tx:30.71 | as the natural reaction to distress which rests on error and thus | calls for help. Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your |
Tx:31.8 | lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness. Nothing but | calls to you in soft appeal to be your friend and let it join with |
Tx:31.10 | pleads that love restore the dying world! You do not understand Who | calls to you beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will |
Tx:31.10 | will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He | calls. He will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know |
Tx:31.17 | as death, for what you choose, you choose as well for him. Two | calls you make to him, as he to you. Between these two is choice |

W1:183.11 | to all his Father gave, is giving still, and will forever give. He | calls on Him to let all things he thought he made be nameless now, |
W1:183.12 | disappeared. The universe consists of nothing but the Son of God who | calls upon his Father. And his Father's Voice gives answer in his |
W1:195.9 | we substitute for these insane perceptions. God has cared for us and | calls us Son. Can there be more than this? |

W1:200.9 | His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father | calls; the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to |

Tx:12.5 | In the | calm light of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have |

Tx:23.44 | the belief that salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, | calm assurance it has come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. |

Tx:18.81 | Love's answer is inevitable. It will come because you | came without the body and interposed no barriers which would |
Tx:19.2 | make it whole. And this is healing. The body is healed because you | came without it and joined the mind in which all healing rests. |
Tx:19.80 | From the ego | came sin and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and |

Tx:17.8 | ugliness into beauty that will enchant you and will never cease to | cause you wonderment at its perfection. |
Tx:17.71 | Yet think on this, and learn the | cause of faithlessness: You think you hold against the other what he |
Tx:17.71 | is causeless and is not there to interfere with truth. There is no | cause for faithlessness, but there is a Cause for faith. That Cause |
Tx:17.71 | with truth. There is no cause for faithlessness, but there is a | Cause for faith. That Cause has entered any situation which shares |
Tx:17.71 | is no cause for faithlessness, but there is a Cause for faith. That | Cause has entered any situation which shares Its purpose. The light |
Tx:17.78 | against him. For he is risen, and you have accepted the | cause of his awakening as yours. You have assumed your part in his |
Tx:20.63 | as a body, in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the | cause of sin an instant before he dies. |
Tx:21.1 | to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result, not a | cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is |
Tx:21.25 | When vision is denied, confusion of | cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep |
Tx:21.25 | becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the | cause of the effect and make effect appear to be a cause. This |
Tx:21.25 | keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect appear to be a | cause. This seeming independence of effect enables it to be regarded |
Tx:21.25 | it to be regarded as standing by itself and capable of serving as a | cause of the events and feelings its maker thinks it causes. Long ago |
Tx:21.25 | son to Him. This is the same desire. The Son is the effect, whose | Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, producing real |
Tx:21.25 | is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be the | cause, producing real effects. Nothing can have effects without a |
Tx:21.25 | cause, producing real effects. Nothing can have effects without a | cause and to confuse the two is merely to fail to understand them |
Tx:21.71 | or turn upon himself as to remember they thought they had a common | cause. |
Tx:21.77 | But what you want to see must be your choice. This is a course in | cause and not effect. |
Tx:24.41 | —in which you suffer not your condemnation. In dreams, effect and | cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream believes that |
Tx:24.56 | blessing from himself nor you who see him truly. His mistakes can | cause delay, which it is given you to take from him that both may end |
Tx:25.37 | the goal of sin. Attack and sin are bound as one illusion, each the | cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless alone, |
Tx:25.74 | justice is impossible. For love is fair and cannot chasten without | cause. What cause can be to warrant an attack upon the innocent? In |
Tx:25.74 | impossible. For love is fair and cannot chasten without cause. What | cause can be to warrant an attack upon the innocent? In justice then |
Tx:26.47 | replaced by sanity. Sickness and sin are seen as consequence and | cause in a relationship kept hidden from awareness that it may be |
Tx:26.50 | be, for only there can its effects be utterly undone and without | cause. Perception's laws must be reversed, because they are reversals |
Tx:26.60 | Cause and effect are one, not separate. God wills you learn what | |
Tx:26.61 | The miracle is possible when | cause and consequence are brought together, not kept separate. The |
Tx:26.61 | together, not kept separate. The healing of effect without the | cause can merely shift effects to other forms. And this is not |
Tx:26.71 | joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation except now? A future | cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be that if you |
Tx:26.71 | And therefore must it be that if you fear, there is a present | cause. And it is this that needs correction, not a future state. |
Tx:26.72 | purpose has been given it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no | cause. Who can predict effects without a cause? And who could fear |
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:27.64 | it rests, by which it is maintained, is simply this: “You are the | cause of what I do. Your presence justifies my wrath, and you exist |
Tx:27.64 | it seems as if there is no need to go beyond the obvious in terms of | cause. |
Tx:27.66 | The means attest the purpose but are not themselves a | cause. Nor will the cause be changed by seeing it apart from its |
Tx:27.66 | attest the purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor will the | cause be changed by seeing it apart from its effects. The cause |
Tx:27.66 | will the cause be changed by seeing it apart from its effects. The | cause produces the effects which then bear witness to the cause and |
Tx:27.66 | The cause produces the effects which then bear witness to the | cause and not themselves. Look, then, beyond effects. It is not here |
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 | begun. And it is this the world bears witness to. Seek not another | cause nor look among the mighty legions of its witnesses for its |
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 | not a separate thing which happens suddenly, as an effect without a | cause. Nor is it in itself a cause. But where its cause is must it |
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 |
W1:5.1 | you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the | cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever |
W1:5.2 | When using the idea for today for a specific perceived | cause of an upset in any form, use both the name of the form in which |
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 |
W1:23.2 | in changing your thoughts about the world. Here you are changing the | cause. The effects will change automatically. |
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 |
W1:23.5 | its cause can be changed. This change requires, first, that the | cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The |
W1:23.9 | practice periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the | cause of the world you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of |
W1:23.9 | of being attacked are not different, you will be ready to let the | cause go. |
W1:31.2 | world. You will escape from both together, for the inner is the | cause of the outer. |
W1:32.1 | Today we are continuing to develop the theme of | cause and effect. You are not the victim of the world you see because |
W1:37.9 | as you do so. It is essential to use the idea if anyone seems to | cause an adverse reaction in you. Offer him the blessing of your |
W1:42.1 | powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets forth a | cause and effect relationship which explains why you cannot fail in |
W1:91.6 | Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of true | cause and effect relationships: |
W1:101.5 | that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no | cause. Accept Atonement with an open mind which cherishes no |
W1:102.2 | still further. And to realize that pain is purposeless, without a | cause, and with no power to accomplish anything. It cannot purchase |
W1:108.13 | Our very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and | cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we will |
W1:121.10 | thinking of someone you do not like, who seems to irritate you or to | cause regret in you if you should meet him; one you actively despise |
W1:130.4 | has made them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no | cause, no being, and no consequence. They can be valued but remain |
W1:139.13 | with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our | cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would |
W1:156.1 | that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is no | cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. It follows |
W1:167.3 | your mind about yourself. It is the reason you can heal. It is the | cause of healing. It is why you cannot die. Its truth established you |
W1:184.3 | is named is given meaning and will then be seen as meaningful, a | cause of true effects with consequence inherent in itself. |
W1:190.4 | with weighty consequence. Who but a madman could conceive of them as | cause of anything? Their witness, pain, is mad as they and no more to |
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 |
W1:190.7 | The world may seem to | cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless, has no power to |
W1:190.7 | to cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless, has no power to | cause. As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is |
W1:194.7 | his future to the loving hands of God? What can he suffer? What can | cause him pain or bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? |
W1:195.1 | they. How pitiful and deprecating are such thoughts! For who has | cause for thanks while others have less cause, and who could suffer |
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? |
W1:195.1 | another suffer more? Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all | cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world. |
W2:WIW.2 | be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not | cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. |
W2:284.1 | properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any | cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. Such |
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 |
W2:331.1 | How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could | cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation and |
W2:348.1 | and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no | cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. |
M:4.3 | is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because | cause and effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust |
M:4.20 | of all things in time, no outcome already seen or yet to come can | cause them fear. |
M:5.7 | confusion about creation. Does not this follow of necessity? Place | cause and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the |
M:5.7 | they are gone. And with them also go all the effects they seemed to | cause. Cause and effect but replicate creation. Seen in their proper |
M:5.7 | gone. And with them also go all the effects they seemed to cause. | Cause and effect but replicate creation. Seen in their proper |
M:10.6 | these things need not be. Not one is true. For he has given up their | cause, and they, which never were but the effects of his mistaken |

Tx:12.12 | if you did not believe that it saves you from love. For this wish | caused the separation. You have protected it because you do not want |
Tx:18.18 | and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail to recognize is that what | caused the dream has not gone with it. |
Tx:22.24 | made has power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that | caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea that thoughts can |

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 |

Tx:30.31 | this agreement which permits all things to happen. Nothing can be | caused without some form of union, be it with a dream of judgment or |
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:28.25 | perceived as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is seen as | causeless now, because they did not make it. And you can accept the |
Tx:29.12 | as are hate and fear, attack and guilt but one. Where they are | causeless, their effects are gone, and love must come wherever they |
W1:101.6 | you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is | causeless. Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have |

causelessness (3) | ||
Tx:28.9 | What you remember never was. It came from | causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve but |
Tx:28.17 | effects. For sickness is a meaningless attempt to give effects to | causelessness and make it be a cause. |
Tx:28.18 | Cause of everything. It has but one effect. And in that recognition, | causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a |

Tx:27.70 | Yet if the choice is really given you, then you must see the | causes of the things you choose between exactly as they are and where |
Tx:31.29 | dies because that mind is sick within itself. Learning is all that | causes change. And so the body, where no learning can occur, could |

Tx:9.102 | God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never | cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's creation, |
Tx:11.84 | is but the way back to what was never lost. Your Father could not | cease to love His Son. |
Tx:13.34 | See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will never | cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand before the |
Tx:14.34 | Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot | cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son |

W1:136.9 | twist your limbs, and stop your heart, commanding you to die and | cease to be. |
W1:136.15 | to enter. And it comes to any mind that would lay down its arms and | cease to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you |
W1:153.18 | In time, with practice, you will never | cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding your |
W1:156.8 | has ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting | cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these words: |
W1:169.5 | things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say “God is,” and then we | cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. There |
W1:182.8 | an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas | cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His |
W1:198.1 | lay it down as valueless, unwanted, and unreal. Then does illusion | cease to have effects, and all it seemed to have will be undone. Then |

Tx:17.17 | the other, already a severely limited perception of him, is not the | central focus as it is or in entirety. What can be used for fantasies |
Tx:26.1 | and all conflicts achieve a seeming balance. It is the symbol of the | central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the body is |

Tx:27.77 | The body is the | central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no dream |

Tx:31.48 | Here is the | central lesson that ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For |
W1:I.4 | you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one | central idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that |
W1:4.3 | for application of the idea for today, identify each thought by the | central figure or event it contains. For example: |
W1:8.4 | so, merely noting the thoughts you find there. Name each one by the | central figure or theme it contains, and pass on to the next. |
W1:19.3 | at that time. As you consider each one, name it in terms of the | central person or theme it contains and, holding it in your mind as |
W1:46.10 | The form of the applications may vary considerably, but the | central idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example: |
W1:R1.3 | in the practice periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the | central point and think about it as part of your review of the idea |
W1:61.7 | and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the | central thought. |
W1:74.1 | The idea for today can be regarded as the | central thought toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is |
W1:80.1 | problems, you will recognize that you have no problems. Your one | central problem has been answered, and you have no other. Therefore |
W1:91.1 | go together. This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a | central idea in your new thought system and the perception which it |
W1:132.6 | Ideas leave not their source. This | central theme is often stated in the text and must be borne in mind |
W1:132.7 | There is no world! This is the | central thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready |
W1:137.1 | Today's idea remains the | central thought on which salvation rests. For healing is the opposite |
W1:R4.1 | the lessons following. Thus we review the recent lessons and their | central thoughts in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which |
W1:R4.2 | There is a | central theme that unifies each step in the review we undertake, |
W1:169.10 | heart that does not beat as yet in tune with God. Forgiveness is the | central theme which runs throughout salvation, holding all its parts |
W1:191.4 | fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the | central core of its existence, and its guarantee of immortality. |
W1:193.5 | reflect His loving kindness to the Son He loves. Each lesson has a | central thought, the same in all of them. The form alone is changed, |
W1:R6.3 | These practice sessions, like our last review, are centered round a | central theme with which we start and end each lesson. It is this: |
W2:I.3 | We will continue with a | central thought for all the days to come. And we will use that |
M:1.3 | aids involved. But the content of the course never changes. Its | central theme is always, “God's Son is guiltless, and in his |
M:4.9 | in teaching him the difference. The idea of sacrifice, so | central to his thought system, had made it impossible for him to |
M:12.5 | The | central lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it |
M:22.3 | of God is to make progress. The idea that a body can be sick is a | central concept in the ego's thought system. This thought gives the |
M:27.1 | Death is the | central dream from which all illusions stem. Is it not madness to |
centrality (4) | ||

W2:221.1 | speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in | certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me. |
W2:235.1 | I need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me and with perfect | certainty assure myself, “God wills that I be saved from this,” and |
W2:238.1 | steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in | certainty that He is safe Who still is part of You and yet is mine |
W2:WIW.2 | and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite possible, for | certainty has gone. |
W2:WIW.4 | alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and | certainty, which you have thrown away but Heaven has preserved for |
W2:252.1 | an intensity that holds all things within it in the calm of quiet | certainty. Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move |
W2:273.1 | to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds with | certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing |

Tx:6.72 | for change in the learner is all that a teacher need do to guarantee | change. This is because a change in motivation is a change of mind, |

Tx:7.47 | change that a Son of God can recognize his power in one instant and | change the world in the next. That is because by changing his mind he |

Tx:7.51 | of me and Him who created me. Through this remembrance, you can | change their minds about themselves, as I can change yours. Your |

Tx:8.32 | we are alike. If you want to be different, I will wait until you | change your mind. I can teach you, but only you can choose to listen |

Tx:9.61 | God does not | change His Mind about you, for He is not uncertain of Himself. And |
Tx:9.63 | Then accept His decision, for it is indeed changeless, and refuse to | change your mind about yourself. God will never decide against you, |

Tx:13.39 | find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not | change His Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and |

Tx:14.36 | else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the truth. Nothing can | change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything |
Tx:14.39 | realities are meaningless, for reality must be one. It cannot | change with time or mood or chance. Its changelessness is what makes |
Tx:14.44 | of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure and will not | change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not obscure, for |

Tx:15.48 | have some elements of fear in them. And this is why they shift and | change so frequently. They are not based on changeless love alone. |
Tx:16.24 | in that is not you. What you accept into your minds does not really | change them. Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there. And the |
Tx:16.33 | there was not love but hate. For hate is an illusion, and what can | change was never love. It is certain that those who select certain |
Tx:16.54 | God is not angry. He merely could not let this happen. You cannot | change His Mind. |
Tx:16.70 | For the special relationship is an attempt to reenact the past and | change it. Imagined slights, remembered pain, past disappointments, |
Tx:16.71 | nothing now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you | change the past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you |
Tx:17.1 | apparent that they had no effect on reality at all and did not | change it. Fantasies change reality. That is their purpose. They |
Tx:17.1 | had no effect on reality at all and did not change it. Fantasies | change reality. That is their purpose. They cannot do so in reality, |
Tx:17.2 | It is, then, only your wish to | change reality that is fearful, because by your wish you think you |
Tx:17.10 | has been used for learning will have no function. Nothing will ever | change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations which |
Tx:17.23 | it where it is not and as it is not. Give the past to Him Who can | change your mind about it for you. But first be sure you fully |
Tx:17.46 | Set firmly in the unholy relationship, there is no course except to | change the relationship to fit the goal. Until this happy solution is |
Tx:17.47 | its liking. Only a radical shift in purpose could induce a complete | change of mind about what the whole relationship is for. As this |
Tx:17.47 | change of mind about what the whole relationship is for. As this | change develops and is finally accomplished, it grows increasingly |
Tx:17.79 | does not believe is real. Your purpose has not changed and will not | change, for you accepted what can never change. And nothing that it |
Tx:17.79 | has not changed and will not change, for you accepted what can never | change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you |
Tx:18.14 | Here, you are “free” to make over whatever seemed to attack you and | change it into a tribute to your ego, which was outraged by the |
Tx:18.15 | of the ego's inability to tolerate reality and your willingness to | change reality on its behalf. |
Tx:18.19 | protest against reality and your fixed and insane idea that you can | change it. In your waking dreams, the special relationship [has a |
Tx:18.20 | would have used them to remain asleep. We once said that the first | change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are |
Tx:18.41 | would have no purpose. For they are all but aspects of the plan to | change your dreams of fear to happy dreams from which you waken |
Tx:18.43 | a function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He | change His Mind about it. The means and purpose both belong to Him. |
Tx:18.44 | unholy means to its accomplishment. The little faith it needed to | change the purpose is all that is required to receive the means and |
Tx:18.52 | it clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot | change its function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. |
Tx:19.19 | But he cannot sin. There is nothing he can do that would really | change his reality in any way nor make him really guilty. That is |
Tx:19.27 | results but without the loss of its appeal. And suddenly you | change its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat |
Tx:19.27 | stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you will but | change the form of sin, granting that it was an error but keeping it |
Tx:19.27 | it was an error but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a | change in your perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, |
Tx:19.29 | easily corrected in the mind, although the body's eyes will see no | change. The eyes see many things the mind corrects, and you respond, |
Tx:19.30 | does not obey, the mind is judged insane. The only power which could | change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the fear |
Tx:20.16 | The belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a | change; a shift in perception or a belief that what was so before has |
Tx:20.16 | Knowledge requires no adjustment and in fact is lost if any shift or | change is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere perception |
Tx:20.59 | The period of discomfort that follows the sudden | change in a relationship from sin to holiness should now be almost |
Tx:20.77 | When you have looked on what seemed terrifying and seen it | change to sights of loveliness and peace; when you have looked on |
Tx:20.77 | you have looked on scenes of violence and death and watched them | change to quiet views of gardens under open skies, with clear, |
Tx:21.1 | As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to | change the world, but will to change your mind about the world. |
Tx:21.1 | he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to | change your mind about the world. Perception is a result, not a |
Tx:21.13 | you everything; the very little on which salvation rests; the tiny | change of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. |
Tx:21.19 | taken from him and be replaced with truth. And as you look upon the | change in him, it will be given you to see it in yourself. |
Tx:21.29 | purpose of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must | change its purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless unto you. |
Tx:21.30 | If you accept this | change, you have accepted the idea of making room for truth. The |
Tx:21.51 | miracles do not affect another's mind, only Its own. [They always | change your mind.] There is no other. |
Tx:21.58 | by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed perception. And in this | change is room made way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as |
Tx:21.65 | for how he sees himself. And reason tells you it is given you to | change his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And |
Tx:21.81 | impossible. You can desire a world you rule which rules you not, and | change your mind. You can desire to exchange your helplessness for |
Tx:21.81 | world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the body's eyes and | change what you desire. |
Tx:21.82 | made to all the rest. For only then have you renounced the option to | change your mind again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are |
Tx:21.87 | The constancy of happiness has no exceptions—no | change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of God for His |
Tx:21.90 | for time is powerless because of your desire for what will never | change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the holiness of |
Tx:22.17 | To leave one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an escape. To | change illusions is to make no change. The search for joy in misery |
Tx:22.17 | seek another is hardly an escape. To change illusions is to make no | change. The search for joy in misery is senseless, for how could joy |
Tx:22.18 | is really fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal cannot | change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time gives way to the |
Tx:22.18 | Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but everything in time can | change with time. Yet if the change be real and not imagined, |
Tx:22.18 | unchanged, but everything in time can change with time. Yet if the | change be real and not imagined, illusions must give way to truth and |
Tx:22.35 | Only mistakes have different forms, and so they can deceive. You can | change form because it is not true. It could not be reality, because |
Tx:22.53 | Be not disturbed at all to think how He can | change the role of means and end so easily in what God loves and |
Tx:22.58 | asked what is your function here and have been answered. Seek not to | change it nor to substitute another goal. [This one was given you and |
Tx:23.41 | Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its purpose does not | change. Its sole intent is murder, and what form of murder serves to |
Tx:23.54 | shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer | change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can offer |
Tx:24.10 | Heaven gave it? What perspective can the special have that does not | change with every seeming blow, each slight, or fancied judgment on |
Tx:24.18 | him and the function of salvation given him for you. Nor will you | change his function, any more than you can change the truth in him |
Tx:24.18 | him for you. Nor will you change his function, any more than you can | change the truth in him and in yourself. But be you certain that the |
Tx:24.35 | Yet bodies have no goal. Purpose is of the mind. And minds can | change as they desire. What they are and all their attributes, they |
Tx:24.35 | as they desire. What they are and all their attributes, they cannot | change. But what they hold as purpose can be changed, and body states |
Tx:24.36 | Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely | change of purpose from hurt to healing. |
Tx:25.12 | as you perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not | change. Despite your hopes and fancies, always does despair result. |
Tx:25.13 | your reward. How long is needed for you to realize the chance of | change in this respect is hardly worth delaying change that might |
Tx:25.13 | the chance of change in this respect is hardly worth delaying | change that might result in better outcome? For one thing is sure— |
Tx:25.30 | not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief perception cannot | change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever, being |
Tx:25.30 | it is forgiven, sin's perception must have been wrong. And thus is | change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far |
Tx:25.30 | The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of | change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, for sin has been |
Tx:25.30 | is attacked by punishment and so preserved. But to forgive it is to | change its state from error into truth. |
Tx:25.32 | that makes the choice of means inevitable and beyond the hope of | change unless the aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once |
Tx:25.50 | cannot be a sin. Sin is the one thing in all the world that cannot | change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the world depends. |
Tx:25.50 | is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it | change. Yet is it possible what God created not should share the |
Tx:25.54 | The Holy Spirit has the power to | change the whole foundation of the world you see to something else— |
Tx:26.10 | and through the same approach. The aspects which need solving do not | change, whatever form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear |
Tx:26.24 | this like your special function, where the separation is undone by | change of purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All |
Tx:26.28 | that what he fear[s,] he loves the most. What but a miracle could | change his mind, so that he understands that love cannot be feared? |
Tx:26.36 | this dream be to where he really is? For this is fact and does not | change whatever dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is |
Tx:26.37 | And how much can his own delusions about time and place affect a | change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls |
Tx:26.41 | The shadow voices do not | change the laws of time or of eternity. They come from what is past |
Tx:26.67 | He has already answered all who call on Him? A miracle can make no | change at all. But it can make what always has been true be |
Tx:26.73 | Yet the acceptance of the working out can seem to take forever. The | change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in |
Tx:26.74 | hints at punishment until the time of liberation is at hand. Given a | change of purpose for the good, there is no reason for an interval in |
Tx:27.79 | dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never | change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms |
Tx:28.6 | past had caused the present, which is but a consequence in which no | change can be made possible because its cause has gone. Yet change |
Tx:28.6 | which no change can be made possible because its cause has gone. Yet | change must have a cause that will endure or else it will not last. |
Tx:28.6 | must have a cause that will endure or else it will not last. No | change can be made in the present if its cause is past. Only the past |
Tx:28.19 | caused the dream and can accept another dream as well. But for this | change in content of the dream, it must be realized that it is you |
Tx:28.21 | a dream, 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 |
Tx:28.27 | another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to | change the course of every step in the descent to separation, until |
Tx:29.15 | based, and there is nothing else it rests upon. Its basis does not | change, although it seems to be in constant change. Yet what is that |
Tx:29.15 | upon. Its basis does not change, although it seems to be in constant | change. Yet what is that except the state confusion really means? |
Tx:29.15 | Stability to those who are confused is meaningless, and shift and | change become the law on which they predicate their lives. |
Tx:29.16 | The body does not | change. It represents the larger dream that change is possible. To |

Tx:29.16 | change. It represents the larger dream that change is possible. To | change is to attain a state unlike the one in which you found |
Tx:29.16 | state unlike the one in which you found yourself before. There is no | change in immortality, and Heaven knows it not. Yet here on earth it |
Tx:29.16 | reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The body can appear to | change with time, with sickness or with health, and with events that |
Tx:29.26 | the material of dreams from which they all are made. Their form can | change, but they cannot be made of something else. The miracle were |
Tx:29.29 | Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to | change, but what they mean has changed because they cover something |
Tx:29.31 | And where They are is Heaven and is peace. Think not that you can | change Their dwelling place. For your Identity abides in Them, and |
Tx:29.37 | made. Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains without the hope of | change and betterment, for here is not where changelessness is found. |
Tx:29.39 | go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all things that | change with time and bloom and fade will not return. Where time has |
Tx:29.39 | time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can never | change by what men made of him. He will be as he was and as he is, |
Tx:29.39 | nor set the hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness will not | change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the things of time |
Tx:29.40 | then die it must unless it does not take this purpose as its own. | Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing here, where |
Tx:29.40 | a purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove the power to | change your mind and see another purpose there. Change is the |
Tx:29.40 | remove the power to change your mind and see another purpose there. | Change is the greatest gift God gave to all that you would make |
Tx:29.41 | You were not born to die. You cannot | change, because your function has been fixed by God. All other goals |
Tx:29.41 | function has been fixed by God. All other goals are set in time and | change that time might be preserved, excepting one. Forgiveness does |
Tx:29.49 | To | change all this and open up a road of hope and of release in what |
Tx:29.55 | A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought without the power to | change one blade of grass from something living to a sign of death. |
Tx:29.57 | the timeless to be made the slaves of time. Here does the changeless | change, the peace of God, forever given to all living things, give |
Tx:30.15 | to receive you cannot even let your question go, you can begin to | change your mind with this: |
Tx:30.42 | be but what he is. For more than whole is meaningless. If there were | change in him, if he could be reduced to any form and limited to what |
Tx:30.43 | ending nor a time in which His Thoughts were absent or could suffer | change. Thoughts are not born and cannot die. They share the |
Tx:30.45 | The Thoughts of God are far beyond all | change and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait for welcome |
Tx:30.72 | This understanding is the only | change that lets the real world rise to take the place of dreams of |
Tx:30.81 | you, and you will understand he could not make an error that could | change the truth in him. It is not difficult to overlook mistakes |
Tx:30.82 | its aim but must be in accord with it. For only if its aim could | change with every situation could each one be open to interpretation |
Tx:30.83 | in themselves is demonstrated by the ease with which these labels | change with other judgments made on different aspects of experience. |
Tx:30.83 | meaning there? But you assigned a meaning in the light of goals that | change, with every meaning shifting as they change. |
Tx:30.83 | the light of goals that change, with every meaning shifting as they | change. |
Tx:30.85 | given everything, and you are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot | change because you would perceive it everywhere, unchanged by |
Tx:30.86 | idea of different goals which makes perception shift and meaning | change. In one united goal does this become impossible, for your |
Tx:30.89 | beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see will | change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it real |
Tx:30.89 | think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of | change. Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it real and |
Tx:30.89 | all appearances. It must transcend all form to be itself. It cannot | change. |
Tx:30.90 | The miracle is means to demonstrate that all appearances can | change because they are appearances and cannot have the |
Tx:30.90 | The miracle attests salvation from appearances by showing they can | change. Your brother has a changelessness in him beyond appearance |
Tx:30.90 | ever alter. But appearances are shown to be unreal because they | change. |
Tx:30.92 | cost of the belief there must be some appearances beyond the hope of | change is that the miracle cannot come forth from you consistently. |
Tx:30.93 | is changeless is a miracle already there to heal all things that | change and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It |
Tx:31.29 | because that mind is sick within itself. Learning is all that causes | change. And so the body, where no learning can occur, could never |
Tx:31.29 | change. And so the body, where no learning can occur, could never | change unless the mind preferred the body change in its appearances |
Tx:31.29 | can occur, could never change unless the mind preferred the body | change in its appearances to suit the purpose given by the mind. For |
Tx:31.29 | the purpose given by the mind. For it can learn, and there is all | change made. |
Tx:31.31 | you will see what you believe, and that it has been given you to | change what you believe. The body will but follow. It can never lead |
Tx:31.32 | upholds their freedom from imprisonment and death. Open your mind to | change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your |
Tx:31.48 | surely show. You can be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you | change the things it makes you do. And you are each the symbol of |
Tx:31.63 | as he is now an instant hence. Who could have trust where so much | change is seen, for who is worthy if he be but dust? Salvation is |
Tx:31.66 | Undoing truth would be impossible. But concepts are not difficult to | change. One vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it |
Tx:31.66 | seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before will | change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept of |
Tx:31.67 | you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can never | change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as |
Tx:31.68 | Learning is | change. Salvation does not seek to use a means as yet too alien to |
Tx:31.68 | too alien to your thinking to be helpful nor to make the kinds of | change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while perception |
Tx:31.68 | deal in contrasts, not in truth, which has no opposite and cannot | change. In this world's concepts are the guilty “bad;” the “good” are |
Tx:31.68 | emphasizes treachery, and trust becomes impossible. Nor could it | change while you perceive the “bad” in you. |
Tx:31.72 | him who walks with you, so that your fearful concept of yourself may | change. And look upon the good in him that you may not be frightened |

W2:I.9 | fail to have the Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to | change Himself and be what we would make of Him. And we believed that |
W2:226.1 | world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is | change of mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a |
W2:230.1 | peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to | change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He created |

W2:WIW.5 | until forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to | change our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must |

W2:284.1 | more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to | change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words |
W2:308.1 | defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must | change my perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to |

Tx:9.106 | As long as both appear to you to be desirable, the concept of | choice, which is not of God, will remain with you. While this is not |

Tx:15.101 | When they are brought together and perceived where they are, the | choice between them is nothing more than a gentle awakening and as |
Tx:16.22 | results because its decisions are immediately accepted as your | choice. And this acceptance means that you are willing to judge |
Tx:16.33 | are trying to live with guilt rather than die of it. This is the | choice they see. And love to them is only an escape from death. They |
Tx:16.34 | lasts, so long will love be an illusion to you. And then the only | choice which remains possible is which illusion you prefer. There is |

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: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: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:30.34 | with you in willing you be free. And to oppose Him is to make a | choice against yourself and choose that you be bound. |
Tx:30.54 | the mind that wants to be deceived. And you can make a simple | choice that will forever place you far beyond deception. You need not |
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 | but lead to disappointment, nothingness, and death. There is no | choice in its alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The |
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:31.87 | you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty | choice before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all pain |
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 |
W1:64.6 | on earth can have a content different from just this one simple | choice. That is the only choice the Holy Spirit sees. Therefore it is |
W1:64.6 | content different from just this one simple choice. That is the only | choice the Holy Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is. |
W1:64.6 | is the only choice the Holy Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only | choice there is. |
W1:66.9 | to choose between and no other outcomes possible as a result of your | choice but the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which |
W1:66.12 | You will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this | choice as you think about the premises on which our conclusion rests. |
W1:98.4 | the call we heard and answer it, when they have come to make their | choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves today. |
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:4.18 | Yet His home will stand forever and is ready for you when you | choose to enter it. Of this you can be wholly certain. God is as |
Tx:4.53 | forsake you any more than God will, but I must wait as long as you | choose to forsake yourself. Because I wait in love and not in |
Tx:4.56 | If you cannot hear the Voice of God, it is because you do not | choose to listen. The fact that you do listen to the voice of your |
Tx:4.89 | so as to demonstrate that you are not an ego. I repeat that I do not | choose God's channels wrongly. The Holy One shares my trust and |
Tx:4.93 | whenever the old habit pattern is broken. You are still free to | choose, but can you really want the rewards of the ego in the |
Tx:5.5 | because revelation is an experience of pure joy. If you do not | choose to be wholly joyous, your mind cannot have what it does not |
Tx:5.5 | choose to be wholly joyous, your mind cannot have what it does not | choose to be. Remember that the Soul knows no difference between |
Tx:5.19 | that the ego always dissolves at its sound. That is why you can | choose to listen to two voices within you. One you made yourself and |
Tx:5.23 | Freedom to | choose is the same power as freedom to create, but its application is |
Tx:5.26 | Your divided devotion has given you the two voices, and you must | choose at which altar you will to serve. The call you answer now is |
Tx:5.27 | the learning process and the importance of the models you value and | choose to follow in determining what you will to learn. I am your |
Tx:5.54 | I give you freely, and the mind which was in me rejoices as you | choose to hear it. The Holy Spirit atones in all of us by undoing and |
Tx:5.72 | God offers you the continuity of eternity in exchange. When you | choose to make this exchange, you will simultaneously exchange guilt |
Tx:5.90 | you always that all hope is yours because of His care. You cannot | choose to escape His care because that is not His Will, but you can |
Tx:5.90 | choose to escape His care because that is not His Will, but you can | choose to accept His care and use the infinite power of His care for |
Tx:6.8 | decision. You are free to perceive yourselves as persecuted if you | choose. You might remember, however, when you do choose to react that |
Tx:6.8 | persecuted if you choose. You might remember, however, when you do | choose to react that way, that I was persecuted as the world judges |
Tx:6.75 | out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is clearly to | choose one and relinquish the other. If you identify with your |
Tx:6.88 | this mutual exclusiveness and are holding the belief that you can | choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy Spirit will |
Tx:6.88 | the belief that you can choose either one. By teaching what to | choose, the Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you |
Tx:6.88 | Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not | choose at all. This will finally liberate your will from choice and |
Tx:7.83 | It therefore produces abundance or scarcity, depending on how you | choose to apply it. This choice is up to you, but it is not up to you |
Tx:8.6 | but not to change. The volatile have no direction. They cannot | choose one because they cannot relinquish the other, even if the |
Tx:8.20 | The goal of the curriculum, regardless of the teacher you | choose, is know thyself. There is nothing else to learn. Everyone is |
Tx:8.30 | by believing that I know what to do. Only then will your mind | choose to follow me. Without your will, you cannot be rehabilitated. |
Tx:8.32 | wait until you change your mind. I can teach you, but only you can | choose to listen to my teaching. How else can it be, if God's Kingdom |
Tx:8.48 | that they can even imprison the mind of God's Son if they so | choose. This choice does make the Son's function unknown to him, but |
Tx:9.47 | about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. | Choose, then, what you want in these terms and accept nothing that |
Tx:9.48 | of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which will you | choose? |
Tx:9.84 | he was made as God's replacement. He is the belief that you can | choose which god is real. Although it is perfectly clear that this |
Tx:10.1 | “Who is my father?” And you will be faithful to the father you | choose. |
Tx:10.20 | but you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever journey you | choose to take, He will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust |
Tx:10.52 | recognize it, and he will not accept it. For only the insane would | choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that |
Tx:11.22 | You who have tried to banish love have not succeeded, but you who | choose to banish fear will succeed. The Lord is with you, but you |
Tx:11.67 | projection, and you look in before you look out. As you look in you | choose the guide for seeing, and then you look out and behold his |
Tx:12.46 | unless you are afraid of light. And only if you are would you | choose to bring this darkness with you, and by holding it in your |
Tx:13.14 | not. When you condemn a brother, you are saying, “I who was guilty | choose to remain so.” You have denied his freedom, and by so doing |
Tx:13.39 | your reactions to the Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you | choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, |
Tx:13.53 | It deceives you because you chose to deceive yourselves. Those who | choose to be deceived will merely attack direct approaches, which |
Tx:13.67 | I will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to fear. I | choose to testify to my acceptance of the Atonement, not for its |
Tx:13.70 | If he refuses it, he binds himself to darkness because he did not | choose to free his brother and enter light with him. By giving power |
Tx:13.72 | God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or | choose to look upon without imposing on himself the penalty of guilt |
Tx:14.35 | not through darkened corridors, away from light's center. You may | choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be brought |
Tx:15.22 | choices open to your striving and your vigilance. You will always | choose one at the expense of the other. |
Tx:15.23 | Yet what you do not realize each time you | choose is that your choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose |
Tx:15.23 | time you choose is that your choice is your evaluation of yourself. | Choose littleness and you will not have peace, for you will have |
Tx:15.67 | your investment in it, to learn to let it go. No one would | choose to let go what he believes has value. Yet the attraction of |
Tx:15.87 | for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you will | choose to utilize the means by which it tries to turn its purpose |
Tx:15.100 | you nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You will have to | choose between total freedom and total bondage, for there are no |
Tx:16.79 | Remember that you always | choose between truth and illusion—between the real Atonement which |
Tx:16.80 | with Him and to no other. The truth lies here and nowhere else. You | choose this or nothing. |
Tx:17.25 | It is still up to you to | choose to be willing to join with truth or illusion. But remember |
Tx:17.25 | to be willing to join with truth or illusion. But remember that to | choose one is to let the other go. Which one you choose you will |
Tx:17.25 | remember that to choose one is to let the other go. Which one you | choose you will endow with beauty and reality because the choice |
Tx:17.25 | illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you can never | choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but true |
Tx:17.38 | that is the gift. And only on this basis are you really free to | choose. Look at the pictures. Both of them. One is a tiny picture, |
Tx:17.49 | only by getting rid of each other. You need not part entirely if you | choose not to do so. But you must exclude major areas of fantasy from |
Tx:18.1 | has given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute is to | choose between, renouncing one in favor of the other. For this |
Tx:18.48 | me. Yet it is wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I | choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy Spirit, that His |
Tx:19.10 | anything your brother has done before to condemn him now. You freely | choose to overlook his errors, looking past all barriers between your |
Tx:19.99 | journey's end before you, you see its purpose. And it is here you | choose whether to look upon it or wander on, only to return and make |
Tx:19.102 | his gift to you? Is this giver of salvation your friend or enemy? | Choose which he is, remembering that you will receive of him |
Tx:19.109 | have been healed of pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must | choose what it will be that he receives. And he will recognize his |
Tx:20.31 | Those who | choose freedom will experience only its results. Their power is of |
Tx:20.49 | 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 can |
Tx:20.56 | Here it is given him to | choose to spend this instant paying tribute to the body or let |
Tx:20.75 | one is sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between, and which you | choose determines what you see. For what you see is merely how you |
Tx:21.13 | completely understood. Rejected yes, but not ambiguous. And if you | choose against it now, it will not be because it is obscure, but |
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:21.36 | which follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who | choose to look away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness. |
Tx:21.46 | the ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did not | choose to share in it. At times it still deceives you. Yet in your |
Tx:21.49 | depends far more than you may realize as yet. For on the voice you | choose to hear and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely |
Tx:21.49 | as yet. For on the voice you choose to hear and on the sights you | choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are. |
Tx:21.64 | If you | choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to |
Tx:21.64 | can teach him only that he is as you would have him, and what you | choose he be is but your choice for you. Yet think not this is |
Tx:21.65 | correction of his errors and make him whole. The instant that you | choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole |
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:21.87 | question is necessary to the rest, as peace must come to those who | choose to heal and not to judge. |
Tx:22.21 | is possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you | choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not both, but |
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:24.3 | the substitute for peace, come with the one alternative that you can | choose for love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it |
Tx:24.4 | leave it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to | choose attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to challenge |
Tx:24.55 | Choose, then, his body or his holiness as what you want to see, and | |
Tx:24.55 | his body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you | choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you choose in countless |
Tx:24.55 | to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you | choose in countless situations and through time which seems to have |
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:25.27 | the body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to | choose to see them where it will. If it elects to see them elsewhere |
Tx:25.86 | that you keep and hide become your secret sins because you did not | choose to let them be removed for you. And so they gather dust and |
Tx:26.23 | world. For no one understands what is the same and seems to | choose where no choice really is. The real world is the area of |
Tx:26.24 | recognition this is so lies the ability to give up all attempts to | choose between them and to make them different. [How simple is the |
Tx:26.24 | withdrawn from what was never true, can it be hard to give it up and | choose what must be true? |
Tx:26.30 | never will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but | choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is |
Tx:26.30 | to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is nothing else to | choose. |
Tx:26.34 | knowledge of the Son of God can hardly still be there for you to | choose to be your teacher. Only in the past—an ancient past, too |
Tx:26.44 | can make one illusion real and still escape the rest. For who can | choose to keep the ones which he prefers and find the safety that the |
Tx:26.65 | him free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave and | choose a little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The gift of |
Tx:27.10 | nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made free again to | choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a |
Tx:27.39 | “Which sin do you prefer? That is the one which you should | choose. The others are not true. What can the body get that you would |
Tx:27.56 | to use when you call forth the witnesses to its reality. You cannot | choose among them which are real, for any one you choose is like the |
Tx:27.56 | You cannot choose among them which are real, for any one you | choose is like the rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you |
Tx:27.56 | choose is like the rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you | choose. You do not make a witness true because you called him by |
Tx:27.65 | it in another's hand if he would be a victim of attack he did not | choose. And thus he suffers from the wounds a knife he does not hold |
Tx:27.69 | for him. He becomes a part of someone else's dream. He cannot | choose to waken from a dream he did not make. Helpless he stands, a |
Tx:27.70 | is the only picture you can see, the one alternative that you can | choose, the other possibility of cause if you be not the dreamer of |
Tx:27.70 | cause if you be not the dreamer of your dreams. And this is what you | choose if you deny the cause of suffering is in your mind. Be glad |
Tx:27.70 | dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of life. What could you | choose between but life or death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, |
Tx:27.70 | is really given you, then you must see the causes of the things you | choose between exactly as they are and where they are. What choices |
Tx:27.70 | states, but one of which is clearly recognized? Who could be free to | choose between effects when only one is seen as up to him? |
Tx:27.89 | They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but learn you | choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently will you |
Tx:29.22 | as heavy shadows must give way to light. The darkness cannot | choose that it remain. The coming of the light means it is gone. In |
Tx:29.49 | what is within by splitting what you are between the two. You | choose your dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as if it |
Tx:30.29 | decisions by yourself. The only question really is with what you | choose to make them. That is really all. The first rule, then, is not |
Tx:30.29 | with God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you | choose will join with you and tell you what to do. |
Tx:30.30 | Your day is not at random. It is set by what you | choose to live it with and how the friend whose counsel you have |
Tx:30.34 | be free. And to oppose Him is to make a choice against yourself and | choose that you be bound. |
Tx:30.68 | Be merciful unto your brother, then. And do not | choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost |
Tx:30.92 | But there is no miracle that can be given you unless you want it. | Choose what you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles has not |
Tx:31.15 | What you would | choose between is not a choice and gives but the illusion it is free, |
Tx:31.17 | you want of him? Herein is life as easily as death, for what you | choose, you choose as well for him. Two calls you make to him, as he |
Tx:31.17 | of him? Herein is life as easily as death, for what you choose, you | choose as well for him. Two calls you make to him, as he to you. |
Tx:31.33 | for you alone, a time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can | choose which road will lead you out of conflict and away from |
Tx:31.33 | What must go with you, you will take with you whatever road you | choose to walk along. |
Tx:31.40 | is reached, you have no choice, and you can but decide how you would | choose the better to deceive yourself again. This course attempts to |
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:31.54 | to choose among, and someone must have first decided on the one to | choose and let the others go. |
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:31.65 | really be. It makes no difference what you look upon nor what you | choose to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will |
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:31.69 | with his, because you let them all affect you not. No longer did you | choose that you should be the sign of evil and of guilt in him. And |
Tx:31.73 | of deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed unless you | choose to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and |
Tx:31.81 | This is temptation, nothing more than this. Can this be difficult to | choose against? Consider what temptation is, and see the real |
Tx:31.81 | Consider what temptation is, and see the real alternatives you | choose between. There are but two. Be not deceived by what appears as |
Tx:31.81 | appears as many choices. There is hell or Heaven, and of these you | choose but one. |
Tx:31.84 | Choose once again if you would take your place among the saviors of | |
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. |
Tx:31.95 | on their behalf. And as I would but do Your holy Will, so will they | choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo |
W1:32.5 | either your inner or outer world. It does not matter which you | choose. |
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:R6.9 | This thought I do not want. I | choose instead…. |

W2:255.2 | You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I | choose to spend today. |

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 |

W2:271.2 | 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 |

W2:314.2 | 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 |

M:5.9 | death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you | choose sickness in place of this? |

Tx:7.110 | Heaven to yourselves. I call upon you again to remember that I have | chosen you to teach the Kingdom to the Kingdom. There are no |
Tx:8.40 | to its retaliation, because I am with you. On this journey, you have | chosen me as your companion instead of the ego. Do not try to hold on |
Tx:9.43 | be judged as insane. With the grandeur of God in you, you have | chosen to be little and to lament your littleness. Within the system |
Tx:9.83 | fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have | chosen to fear love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because |
Tx:10.58 | what you want to perceive and of the reality of the kingdom you have | chosen for your vigilance. Everything you perceive is a witness to |
Tx:11.50 | weakened your mind that you cannot love, for the curriculum you have | chosen is against love and amounts to a course in how to attack |
Tx:13.51 | are his beliefs. And it is these, and not the truth, that he has | chosen to defend and love. They will not be taken from him. But they |
Tx:13.69 | The miracle teaches you that you have | chosen guiltlessness, freedom, and joy. It is not a cause, but an |
Tx:14.54 | a cohesive system impossible. Separation therefore remains the ego's | chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when |
Tx:15.19 | the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will know which you have | chosen by their reactions. A Son of God who has been released through |
Tx:15.48 | made, the Holy Spirit uses special relationships, which you have | chosen to support the ego, as a learning experience which points to |
Tx:15.69 | from his holy mind. For the chain of savagery belongs not around the | chosen host of God, who cannot make himself host to the ego. In the |
Tx:16.27 | to learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You have | chosen this by your own willingness to teach. Though you seemed to |
Tx:16.55 | of death delights you can bring death to the eternal. Nor can your | chosen substitute for the wholeness of God have any influence at all |
Tx:17.51 | you will remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have | chosen but the goal of God from which your true intent was never |
Tx:18.23 | Yet Heaven is sure. This is no dream. Its coming means that you have | chosen truth, and it has come because you have been willing to let |
Tx:18.26 | If you knew Who walks beside you on this way which you have | chosen, fear would be impossible. You do not know because the journey |
Tx:19.93 | You are no more afraid of death than of the ego. These are your | chosen friends. For in your secret alliance with them, you have |
Tx:20.6 | And every gift it offers depends on what it wants. It will adorn its | chosen home most carefully, making it ready to receive the gifts it |
Tx:20.6 | the gifts it wants by offering them to those who come unto its | chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there they will |
Tx:20.7 | an evaluation of the receiver and the giver. No one but sees in his | chosen home an altar to himself. No one but seeks to draw to it the |
Tx:20.8 | the Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the altar in your | chosen home and see what you have laid upon it to offer me. If it be |
Tx:20.8 | whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red light, the body is your | chosen home, and it is separation that you offer me. And yet the |
Tx:20.11 | nails to crucify the Son of God and crown him king of death. Your | chosen home is on the other side, beyond the veil. It has been |
Tx:20.48 | not seek for power, but for relationships. The body is the ego's | chosen weapon for seeking power through relationships. And its |
Tx:20.62 | is always secondary to desire. And if you see the body, you have | chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, like relationships, has |
Tx:20.70 | on the truth? How can the engine of destruction be preferred and | chosen to replace the holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where He will |
Tx:22.15 | faith in Him. You are indeed correct in looking on each other as His | chosen home, for here you will with Him and with His Father. This is |
Tx:22.39 | the first few steps along the right way that seem hard, for you have | chosen, although you still may think you can go back and make the |
Tx:22.52 | Where freedom of the body has been | chosen, the mind is used as means whose value lies in its ability to |
Tx:22.54 | a light far brighter than the sun which lights the sky you see, is | chosen of your Father as a means for His own plan. Be thankful that |
Tx:23.9 | have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the body, the ego's | chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an |
Tx:23.51 | different. Here in the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have | chosen to be part of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, |
Tx:23.52 | of Heaven will gently lean to you and hold you up. For you have | chosen to remain where He would have you, and no illusion can attack |
Tx:24.12 | And always whom it thus diminishes would be your savior, had you not | chosen to make of him a tiny measure of your specialness instead. |
Tx:25.31 | recognize that in this choice the purpose of the world you see is | chosen and will be justified. |
Tx:25.32 | the hope of change unless the aim is changed. And then the means are | chosen once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined another |
Tx:26.30 | who point in different ways. And you will go along the way your | chosen teacher leads. There are but two directions you can take while |
Tx:26.77 | And never will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His | chosen home and battle with His host. Regard him gently. Look with |
Tx:27.33 | power known as wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have | chosen to impose. Forgiveness is the means by which the truth is |
Tx:28.63 | be sick. It will not join a purpose not your own, and you have | chosen that it not be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice |
Tx:29.10 | is no loss, you will have some regrets about the way that you have | chosen. And you will not see the many gains your choice has offered |
Tx:30.34 | you are not free. And would God leave His Son without what he has | chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your |
Tx:31.7 | learning can produce. However much you may have overlearned your | chosen task, the lesson which reflects the love of God is stronger |
Tx:31.17 | be the leader or the follower to you, it matters not, for you have | chosen death. But if he calls for death or calls for life, for hate |
Tx:31.31 | to what you have escaped. You will not want to hold in guilt your | chosen enemies nor keep in chains to the illusion of a changing love |
Tx:31.62 | you never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have | chosen that you want it so. But choose the Spirit, and all Heaven |
W1:28.7 | you see in looking about you. Not only should the subjects be | chosen randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as |
W1:29.4 | with repeating the idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly | chosen subjects about you, naming each one specifically. Try to avoid |
W1:52.5 | the past or the present: it is whether to see or not. What I have | chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would choose again that I may |
W1:72.8 | you may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome it as Friend. Your | chosen savior takes His place instead. It is your friend; He is your |
W1:R3.7 | and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's | chosen means for your salvation. Since it has His trust, His means |
W1:121.10 | It does not matter what the form your anger takes. You probably have | chosen him already. He will do. |
W1:138.9 | Heaven is | chosen consciously. The choice cannot be made until alternatives are |
W1:153.9 | of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our | chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the |
W1:153.10 | secure you rest, untouchable within its light. God's ministers have | chosen that the truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who |
W1:153.10 | What defense could possibly be needed by the ones who are among the | chosen ones of God by His election and their own as well? |
W1:154.5 | Nor does he question the right of him who does nor ask why he has | chosen those who will receive the message that he brings. It is |
W1:155.4 | as if it asked the sacrifice of something that is real. Many have | chosen to renounce the world while still believing its reality, and |
W1:155.4 | a sense of loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have | chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of |
W1:166.7 | This is your | chosen self, the one you made as a replacement for reality. This is |
W1:170.12 | it god no longer. You have reached this place before, but you have | chosen that this cruel god remain with you in still another form, and |
W1:170.13 | echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have | chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your |
W1:194.9 | temptation far behind. No longer is the world our enemy, for we have | chosen that we be its friends. |
W2:WF.2 | What can come between a fixed projection and the aim that it has | chosen as its needed goal? |
W2:WF.3 | goal, twisting and overturning what it sees as interfering with its | chosen path. Distortion is its purpose and the means by which it |
W2:WIS.2 | body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for now is | chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of |
W2:254.2 | by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have | chosen to remember Him. |
W2:257.2 | Father, forgiveness is Your | chosen means for our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no |
W2:269.1 | I ask Your blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have | chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes and look beyond them. |
W2:272.2 | we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams when Heaven can be | chosen just as easily as hell and love will happily replace all fear. |
W2:275.1 | lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been | chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and |
W2:286.1 | quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that has been | chosen as the time in which I come to understand the lesson that |
W2:310.1 | This day, my Father, would I spend with You, as You have | chosen all my days should be. And what I will experience is not of |
W2:312.1 | to overlook what you would see and fail to see what you have | chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world come to |
W2:335.1 | shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having | chosen to behold my brother in its holy light. |
W2:349.1 | I would find and make my own. It will be given me because I have | chosen it as the gift I want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. |
M:I.5 | a source of strength and truth forever. Who are they? How are they | chosen? What do they do? How can they work out their own salvation |
M:2.1 | begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They were | chosen for him, because the form of the universal curriculum that he |
M:2.1 | coming is certain. Again, it is only a matter of time. Once he has | chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time |
M:3.5 | are teaching-learning situations in which each person is given a | chosen learning partner who presents him with unlimited opportunities |
M:5.8 | understand what healing is. These patients do not realize they have | chosen sickness. On the contrary, they believe that sickness has |
M:5.8 | chosen sickness. On the contrary, they believe that sickness has | chosen them. Nor are they open-minded on this point. The body tells |
M:10.5 | along with judgment. He gave himself to Him Whose judgment he has | chosen now to trust instead of his own. Now he makes no mistakes. His |
M:17.2 | his gift most clearly given him. For he will give only what he has | chosen for himself. And in this gift is his judgment upon the holy |
M:21.4 | use words in a new way. Gradually, he learns how to let his words be | chosen for him by ceasing to decide for himself what he will say. |
Christ (292) | ||
Tx:1.19 | 19. [Miracles make Souls one in | Christ.] They depend on cooperation because the Sonship is the sum of |
Tx:1.44 | 32. | Christ inspires all miracles, which are really intercessions. They |
Tx:1.45 | Only the mind needs Atonement. The miracle joins in the Atonement of | Christ by placing the mind in the service of the spirit. This |
Tx:1.48 | The forgiven are the means of Atonement. Those released by | Christ must join in releasing their brothers, for this is the plan of |
Tx:1.48 | are the way in which minds which serve the spirit unite with | Christ for the salvation or release of all God's creations. |
Tx:1.70 | The miracle is thus a sign that the mind has chosen to be led by | Christ in His service. The abundance of Christ is the natural result |
Tx:1.70 | mind has chosen to be led by Christ in His service. The abundance of | Christ is the natural result of choosing to follow Him. All shallow |
Tx:1.72 | 45. The miracle is an expression of an inner awareness of | Christ and the acceptance of His Atonement. The mind is then in a |
Tx:1.74 | impersonal nature of miracle-mindedness ensures your grace, but only | Christ is in a position to know where grace can be bestowed. |
Tx:4.41 | of its parts. Christmas is not a time; it is a state of mind. The | Christ Mind wills from the Soul, not from the ego, and the Christ |
Tx:4.41 | mind. The Christ Mind wills from the Soul, not from the ego, and the | Christ Mind is yours. |
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:5.11 | obstruct it, although you can never lose it. The Holy Spirit is the | Christ Mind, which senses the knowledge that lies beyond perception. |
Tx:8.106 | Christ is in me, and where He is God must be, for Christ is part 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:10.83 | him. Ask anything of God's Son and His Father will answer you, for | Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His Father is not deceived |
Tx:10.84 | heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him unto | Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of |
Tx:10.84 | Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for | Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in |
Tx:10.84 | him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. | Christ is the Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father, |
Tx:10.87 | a brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by | Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in Christ and be not offended by |
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:12.52 | Reach out to all your brothers and touch them with the touch of | Christ. In timeless union with them is your continuity, unbroken |
Tx:12.56 | Awakening unto | Christ is following the laws of love of your free will and out of |
Tx:12.57 | faithful in your giving, for you were not alone. Even in sleep has | Christ protected you, ensuring the real world for you when you wake. |
Tx:12.63 | out of sight because what is denied is there but is not recognized. | Christ is still there, although you know Him not. His Being does not |
Tx:12.64 | and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And | Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you |
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:13.62 | and fears of nothing. Accept this key to freedom from the hands of | Christ Who gives it to you that you may join Him in the holy task of |
Tx:13.63 | will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The vision of | Christ is given the very instant that it is perceived. Where |
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:15.54 | Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with | Christ. |
Tx:15.82 | bodies you perceive. For all its parts are joined in God through | Christ, where they become like to their Father. For Christ knows of |
Tx:15.82 | in God through Christ, where they become like to their Father. For | Christ knows of no separation from His Father, Who is His one |
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:20.57 | the body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face of | Christ? And can they long withhold the memory of their relationship |
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:24.54 | vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's body shows not | Christ to you. He is set forth within his holiness. |
Tx:24.55 | 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 |
W1:161.14 | your blessing, holy Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of | Christ, and see my perfect sinlessness in you. |
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. |
W1:164.1 | upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in the eyes of | Christ. He looks past time and sees eternity as represented there. He |
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 |
W1:166.13 | showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of | Christ and recognize God's gifts. Let sorrow not tempt you to be |
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:WIC.5 | or perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the | Christ Whom God created as His Son. |
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:22.4 | of healing. He overlooks the mind and body, seeing only the face of | Christ shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and healing |
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 |
M:28.5 | What remains that vision could accomplish? We have seen the face of | Christ, His sinlessness, His love behind all forms, beyond all |
Christ's (75) | ||
Tx:11.56 | awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of God. | Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with |
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 His Father, |
Tx:11.59 | 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 His Father, which He knows |
Tx:12.43 | visions. See through the vision that is given you, for through | Christ's vision He beholds Himself. And seeing what He is, He knows |
Tx:12.57 | ceased to be his Father's witness and his own. Although he slept, | Christ's vision did not leave him. And so it is that he can call unto |
Tx:13.4 | share. His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why | Christ's vision looks on everything with love. Yet even Christ's |
Tx:13.4 | that is why Christ's vision looks on everything with love. Yet even | Christ's vision is not His reality. The golden aspects of reality |
Tx:13.5 | world to see. For light must come into the darkened world to make | Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give His gift of |
Tx:13.6 | God's most holy Son, created in the One Reality that is his Father. | Christ's vision is His gift to you. His Being is His Father's gift to |
Tx:13.7 | Be you content with healing, for | Christ's gift you can bestow, and your Father's gift you cannot lose. |
Tx:13.7 | gift you can bestow, and your Father's gift you cannot lose. Offer | Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered the |
Tx:13.29 | would remove only illusions. All else He would have you see. And in | Christ's vision, He would show you the perfect purity that is forever |
Tx:22.41 | were. How thankful will they be to see you come among them, offering | Christ's forgiveness to dispel their faith in sin. |
Tx:24.16 | and “safe” from love, which does not see his specialness at all. | Christ's vision is their “enemy,” for it sees not what they would |
Tx:24.46 | held in you by that same hand that holds your brother's in your own. | Christ's hand holds all His brothers in Himself. He gives them vision |
Tx:25.9 | The Holy Spirit serves | Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be |
Tx:27.48 | your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see | Christ's face instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one |
Tx:29.55 | is not a thing to make you tremble and to quail in fear. | Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he ever will |
Tx:30.63 | from idols toward reality. For when they joined their hands, it was | Christ's hand they took, and they will look on Him Whose hand they |
Tx:31.88 | then, but see it as it is—another chance to choose again and let | Christ's strength prevail in every circumstance and every place you |
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 |
W1:158.10 | Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let | Christ's vision shine on you and offer you the peace of God. |
W1:158.11 | seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, | Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well. |
W1:159.3 | Christ's vision is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it | |
W1:159.3 | and the rebirth of love which never died but has been kept obscure. | Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to |
W1:159.4 | Christ's vision is the miracle in which all miracles are born. It is | |
W1:159.5 | Christ's vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power | |
W1:159.8 | Christ's vision is the holy ground in which the lilies of forgiveness | |

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 |

W1:166.15 | Betray it not. Become the living proof of what | Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to |
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:WIC.4 | could remain to keep things separate, for what remains to see except | Christ's face? |

Tx:3.11 | There is another point which must be perfectly | clear before any residual fear which may still be associated with |
Tx:3.17 | The Atonement too is totally without symbolism. It is perfectly | clear because it exists in light. Only man's attempts to shroud it in |
Tx:3.21 | people are apt to be vicious. Sacrificing another in any way is a | clear cut violation of God's own injunction that man should be |
Tx:3.44 | it willed ambiguously, and the only way out of ambiguity is | clear perception. The mind returns to its proper function only when |
Tx:3.51 | of anything since. You will also remember, however, that I made it | clear that the resurrection was the means for the return to |
Tx:3.60 | yourself in the One Light where the miracle that is you is perfectly | clear. |
Tx:4.94 | It should be | clear by now that, while the content of any particular ego-illusion |
Tx:5.14 | First, its universality is perfectly | clear, and no one who receives it could ever believe for one instant |
Tx:5.85 | of vacillation. Unless a mind is fixed in its purpose, it is not | clear. Clarity literally means the state of light, and enlightenment |
Tx:5.89 | so strong that you will never overcome it. The reason is perfectly | clear. The fixation is on a level so high that it cannot be |
Tx:6.1 | but the inevitable association of anger and fear is not always so | clear. Anger always involves projection of separation, which must |
Tx:6.8 | I have made it perfectly | clear that I am like you and you are like me, but our fundamental |

Tx:6.59 | only three words: “Do only that!” This simple statement is perfectly | clear, easily understood, and very easily remembered. |

Tx:7.20 | and “nothing” are dichotomous, without a range. This is perfectly | clear in considering psychological tests of maximal performance. You |

Tx:7.103 | but the ego always does. When you are confused about this very | clear distinction in motivation, it can only be due to projection. |
Tx:7.111 | to perceive as truth. This is the perception which is immediate, | clear, and natural. You have trained yourselves not to see it, and |
Tx:8.2 | have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge offers you, but it is | clear that you do not regard this as wholly desirable. If you did, |
Tx:9.28 | The Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He makes healing perfectly | clear in any situation in which he is the Guide. The human therapist |
Tx:9.73 | it must be. Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly | clear if you will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you |

Tx:14.16 | because you do not understand its meaning. If you did, it would be | clear, and you would be no longer in the dark. Nothing has hidden |

Tx:15.38 | gladly give over every plan but His. For there lies peace, perfectly | clear because you have been willing to meet its conditions. You can |
Tx:15.39 | I stand within the holy instant, as | clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you learn to be |
Tx:16.22 | are willing to judge yourself accordingly. Cause and effect are very | clear in the ego's thought system because all your learning has been |
Tx:17.22 | but let Him hold the spark before you to light your way and make it | clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the ego |
Tx:17.41 | The picture of light, in | clear cut and unmistakable contrast, is transformed into what lies |
Tx:17.45 | disjunctive, and even quite distressing. The reason is quite | clear. For the relationship as it is, is out of line with its own |
Tx:17.57 | is easily understood, and for this it is apparent that it must be | clear. The setting of the Holy Spirit's goal is general. Now He will |
Tx:17.59 | Without a | clear cut positive goal, set at the outset, the situation just seems |
Tx:17.74 | to the call of truth. The holy instant is the shining example, the | clear and unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every |

Tx:21.78 | be answered and is answered in the other three. And then it will be | clear to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any form, all |
Tx:23.44 | lose sight of it? It can be kept shining before your vision, forever | clear and never out of sight if you defend it not. |
Tx:24.12 | a lack seen in another and maintained by searching for and keeping | clear in sight all lacks it can perceive. This does it seek, and this |
Tx:25.8 | separate, different, and special, to the Christ, to make the oneness | clear to what is really one. In this world, this is not understood |
Tx:25.44 | easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is wholly | clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what eyes are for. And who can |
Tx:26.74 | understand it now but will some day. And then its meaning will be | clear. This is not reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints at |
Tx:27.36 | not an answer in another light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be | clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited |
Tx:28.25 | lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is | clear. It demonstrates what He would have you learn and shows you its |
Tx:30.1 | new beginning now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is | clear, but now you need specific methods for attaining it. The speed |
Tx:30.28 | It must be | clear that it is easier to have a happy day if you prevent |
Tx:30.58 | it is thought that understanding is acquired by attack. There, it is | clear that by attack is understanding lost. The folly of pursuing |

W1:131.16 | all darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so bright and | clear that you can understand all things you see. A tiny moment of |
W1:133.10 | served the ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo | clear within his vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and |
W1:R4.7 | that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and | clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought |

Tx:5.59 | Perhaps some of our concepts will become | clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use of guilt is |

Tx:2.71 | The way in which both of these perceptions are stated | clearly implies their dependence on time, making it quite apparent |
Tx:2.73 | There is a confusion here which you would do well to look at | clearly. You believe that you are responsible for what you do but not |
Tx:2.89 | On the other hand, many other expressions | clearly illustrate the prevailing lack of awareness of thought-power. |
Tx:3.12 | would be capable of the kind of thinking which His own words have | clearly stated is unworthy of man? |
Tx:3.35 | that you can know him. While you ask questions about God, you are | clearly implying that you do not know Him. Certainty does not require |
Tx:3.43 | or wrong-minded, and even this is subject to degrees, a fact which | clearly demonstrates a lack of association with knowledge. The term |
Tx:3.74 | discussed the fall, or separation, before, but its meaning must be | clearly understood without symbols. The separation is not symbolic. |
Tx:3.78 | this belief is the “devil.” It is powerful, active, destructive, and | clearly in opposition to God because it literally denies His |
Tx:4.26 | you surprised that something happened in the dim past when it is so | clearly happening right now? |
Tx:4.39 | concentrating increasingly on the ego in an attempt to unify their | clearly unrelated data. It need hardly be said that an attempt to |
Tx:4.45 | impulses from the superconscious are unacceptable to it because they | clearly point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The ego |
Tx:4.73 | organized, and consciously directed. The goal must be formulated | clearly and kept in mind. As a teacher with some experience, let me |
Tx:4.79 | psychologist's ability to accept as reasonable a compromise which is | clearly senseless—to attribute it to the mental illness of the |
Tx:4.101 | is shared. God does not need revelation returned to Him, which would | clearly be impossible, but He does want revelation brought to others. |
Tx:5.86 | in development which does not accord with a point in time. This | clearly could have been a means toward real release from the time |
Tx:6.20 | me as saying, “I come not to bring peace but a sword.” This is | clearly the exact opposite of everything I taught. |
Tx:6.23 | it. The crucifixion was a complex of behaviors arising out of | clearly opposed thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect symbol |
Tx:6.62 | the Kingdom. The body is the symbol of what you think you are. It is | clearly a separation device and therefore does not exist. The Holy |
Tx:6.70 | is what they perceive and teach and learn. These insane concepts are | clearly the result of their own dissociation and projection. What you |
Tx:6.75 | The way out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is | clearly to choose one and relinquish the other. If you identify with |
Tx:6.80 | although this step is essential for the ultimate decision, it is | clearly not the final one. It is clear at this point that the lack of |
Tx:7.14 | is mandatory, because learning is essential. This form of the law | clearly implies that you will learn what you are from what you have |
Tx:7.26 | that you are not what you are. This is so contradictory that it is | clearly impossible. It is therefore a lesson which you cannot really |
Tx:7.56 | the ego never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but | clearly insane. The ego draws upon the one source which is totally |
Tx:7.99 | these possibilities requires further elaboration here, but both are | clearly indefensible, even if you elect to defend them. |
Tx:9.12 | the ego always leads you. The ego's plan is to have you see error | clearly first and then overlook it. Yet how can you overlook what you |
Tx:9.12 | it. Yet how can you overlook what you have made real? By seeing it | clearly, you have made it real and cannot overlook it. |
Tx:9.22 | they have done is merely to identify with the ego and, by perceiving | clearly what it does, condemn themselves because of this profound |
Tx:9.42 | The ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become | clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it |
Tx:10.43 | inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's goal, which is so | clearly senseless that any effort exerted on its behalf is |
Tx:10.53 | out. The attempt to understand totality by breaking it up is | clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to |
Tx:10.54 | inconsistency must be true if truth has meaning. Holding error | clearly in mind and protecting what it has made real, the ego |
Tx:10.55 | The ego makes no attempt to understand this, and it is | clearly not understandable, but the ego does make every attempt to |

Tx:11.63 | is transcended, for what the Holy Spirit enables you to do is | clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving His results, you will |
Tx:13.47 | know it. But you have the means for learning it and seeing it quite | clearly. The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the |
Tx:13.47 | are not insane. They take a direction exactly opposite, pointing as | clearly to Heaven as the ego points to darkness and to death. We have |
Tx:13.47 | in illusions, for there alone their seeming clearness seems to be | clearly seen. Let us now turn away from them and follow the simple |
Tx:14.26 | view, it is not true. Yet it is true because God knows it. These are | clearly opposite viewpoints of what the “unknowing” are. To God, |
Tx:14.39 | How long can contradiction stand when its impossible nature is | clearly revealed? What disappears in light is not attacked. It merely |
Tx:15.4 | strange paradox in the ego's thought system before, but never so | clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep fear from you to keep |
Tx:15.19 | you have. You will be sure because the witness to Him will speak so | clearly of Him that you will hear and understand. |
Tx:15.27 | The Holy Spirit can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, | clearly and in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every |
Tx:15.67 | is. For having been made real to you, it is essential to look at it | clearly, and by withdrawing your investment in it, to learn to let it |
Tx:15.75 | you believe that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is | clearly insane to believe that by communicating you will be |
Tx:15.79 | In the face of your fear of forgiveness, which He perceives as | clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He will teach you to |
Tx:15.97 | recognition would make it homeless. For when this recognition dawns | clearly, you will not be deceived by any form the ego takes to |
Tx:16.13 | behalf. It is impossible to convince you of the reality of what has | clearly been accomplished through your willingness, as long as you |
Tx:16.18 | against God's Love, for you have many witnesses which speak of it so | clearly that only the blind and deaf could fail to see and hear them. |
Tx:16.18 | that is the only reason He has called to you. His Voice has spoken | clearly, and yet you have so little faith in what you heard because |
Tx:16.23 | be that what you taught came from yourself. And yet, this Self you | clearly do not know and do not recognize It even though It functions. |
Tx:16.30 | to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation will rise | clearly before your open eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit |
Tx:17.15 | to think guiltily of another and not harm yourself. They speak so | clearly for the separation that no one not obsessed with keeping |
Tx:17.28 | the function given them by God. The function you have given them is | clearly not to make happy. But the holy relationship shares God's |
Tx:17.45 | For the relationship as it is, is out of line with its own goal and | clearly unsuited to the purpose which has been accepted for it. In |
Tx:18.2 | united, they are one because they are the same. Substitution is | clearly a process in which they are perceived as different. One would |
Tx:18.14 | quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is | clearly not the world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a |
Tx:18.18 | you see it, you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a world, | clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside. You do not |
Tx:18.52 | In this, the mind is | clearly delusional. It cannot attack, but it maintains it can and |
Tx:18.52 | its guilt, but it will not lose it through projection. And though it | clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change |
Tx:18.53 | of vengeance to release from them? Your perception of the body can | clearly be sick, but project not this upon the body. For your wish to |
Tx:19.17 | for correction, and the belief that punishment is correction is | clearly insane. |
Tx:19.26 | it go. An error, on the other hand, is not attractive. What you see | clearly as a mistake you want corrected. |
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:24.61 | what made this judgment. Here is the voice of specialness heard | clearly, judging against the Christ and setting forth for you the |
Tx:26.24 | make them different. [How simple is the choice between two things so | clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No sacrifice is possible |
Tx:26.51 | in it. Yet it appears some are more true than others, although this | clearly makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can |
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 |
Tx:26.74 | its meaning will be clear. This is not reason, for it is unjust and | clearly hints at punishment until the time of liberation is at hand. |
Tx:27.62 | to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of salvation | clearly shown. Like to a dream of punishment in which the dreamer is |
Tx:27.63 | The choice will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when | clearly seen. No one has difficulty making up his mind to let a |
Tx:27.70 | What choices can be made between two states, but one of which is | clearly recognized? Who could be free to choose between effects when |
Tx:29.10 | instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so | clearly marked it is impossible to lose the way, seem thorny, rough, |
Tx:31.66 | be impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change. One vision, | clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived |
W1:34.1 | conditions that prevail in the other way of seeing. Peace of mind is | clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts and |
W1:42.7 | Any thought that is | clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be |
W1:43.11 | your mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of thoughts which are | clearly out of accord with today's idea, or if you seem to be unable |
W1:69.8 | you are at last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the thought | clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then |
W1:73.12 | After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your will | clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet |
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 |
W1:133.5 | until you had considered all of them in time and not been brought so | clearly to the place where there is but one choice that must be made. |
W1:138.10 | of unawareness and is brought to light. Who can decide between the | clearly seen and the unrecognized? Yet who can fail to make a choice |
W1:160.10 | and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is | clearly recognized, his home remembered, and salvation come. |
W1:161.12 | symbol of the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him first as | clearly as you can in that same form to which you are accustomed. See |
M:17.2 | the teacher gives to those who need his aid? Here is his gift most | clearly given him. For he will give only what he has chosen for |
M:17.4 | It may be merely slight irritation, perhaps too mild to be even | clearly recognized. Or it may also take the form of intense rage |
M:17.7 | guilt, which you have hidden but have not let go. Each one says | clearly to your frightened mind, “You have usurped the place of God. |

W1:65.14 | Sometimes | close your eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and |
W1:72.14 | we have not listened to His Voice. We have used our grievances to | close our eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and |

W1:129.9 | Then | close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness |
W1:138.12 | Before we | close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have |
W1:138.12 | in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And finally we | close the day with this, acknowledging we chose but what we want: |
W1:140.8 | from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts—so | close it is impossible to lose. We need but seek it, and it must be |
W1:R4.10 | each of the two ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then | close your eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry |
W1:R4.12 | Each day of practicing, as we review, we | close as we began, repeating first the thought that made the day a |
W1:151.3 | your eyes and ears report. You think your fingers touch reality and | close upon the truth. This is awareness which you understand and |
W1:153.16 | we will forget. At other times the business of the world will | close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and |
W1:188.6 | Sit quietly and | close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has |
W1:192.3 | form the wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so | close to waking that the light of day already shines in them. And |

W2:252.1 | far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and | close to God! |

W1:13.4 | in a somewhat different way from the preceding ones. With eyes | closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look |

W1:19.3 | which today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes | closed. The idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should be |
W1:24.4 | with repeating today's idea, followed by searching the mind with | closed eyes for unresolved situations about which you are currently |
W1:30.5 | several practice periods to applying today's idea with your eyes | closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking within |
W1:34.2 | to readiness. All applications should be done with your eyes | closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of today's |
W1:35.11 | particular occurs to you, merely repeat the idea to yourself with | closed eyes. |
W1:36.6 | it again; and conclude with one more repetition with your eyes | closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite slowly, as |
W1:37.8 | You may continue the practice period with your eyes | closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the idea for today to |
W1:37.8 | period should conclude with a repetition of the idea with your eyes | closed and another following immediately with your eyes open. |
W1:39.6 | periods as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then with | closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they |
W1:41.5 | possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes with your eyes | closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's idea |

W1:44.9 | form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes | closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will probably |
W1:44.11 | Throughout the day, repeat the idea often with eyes open or | closed as seems better to you at the time. Do not forget. Above all, |
W1:49.5 | idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but | closed when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the |
W1:R1.4 | the related comments, the exercises should be done with your eyes | closed and when you are alone in a quiet place if possible. This is |
W1:61.7 | about these statements for a short while, preferably with your eyes | closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts come to |
W1:64.9 | At least once devote ten or 15 minutes to reflecting on this with | closed eyes. Related thoughts will come to help you if you remember |

Tx:4.90 | grateful to God for what He created. Through your gratitude, you can | come to know each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all |
Tx:4.91 | As you | come closer to a brother, you do approach me and, as you withdraw |

Tx:5.1 | Depression is often contagious but, although it may affect those who | come in contact with it, they do not yield to the influence |
Tx:5.11 | close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or better, allows it to | come. We have spoken before of the higher or the “true” perception, |
Tx:5.28 | only one way. You are the light of the world with me. Rest does not | come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy Spirit is the call to |
Tx:5.30 | Voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy Spirit, I could | come to provide the model for how to think. Psychology has become the |
Tx:5.43 | to salvation, because He holds the remembrance of things past and to | come. He holds this gladness gently in your minds, asking only that |
Tx:5.49 | was adopting a policy of sharing without a real foundation. I have | come to give you the foundation, so your own thoughts can make you |
Tx:5.79 | When I said, “I am | come as a light into the world,” I surely came to share the light |
Tx:5.95 | fully aware of the fact that the undoing process, which does not | come from you, is nevertheless within you because God placed it |
Tx:6.20 | had not felt guilty, they never could have quoted me as saying, “I | come not to bring peace but a sword.” This is clearly the exact |
Tx:6.58 | but will merely remind them that the night is over and the light has | come? You do not inform them that the nightmares which frightened |
Tx:6.58 | understand they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams | come, they will call on the light themselves to dispel them. |
Tx:7.28 | need to be vigilant against this idea, because all your conflicts | come from it. It is the belief that conflicting interests are |
Tx:7.33 | and certainty is of God according to His laws. Both, therefore, | come from the same Source, [because] inspiration comes from the Voice |
Tx:7.33 | for God, and certainty comes from the laws of God. Healing does not | come directly from God, Who knows His creations as perfectly whole. |
Tx:7.52 | you who perceive only this, because you perceive only what is true. | Come therefore unto me and learn of the truth in you. The mind we |

Tx:8.26 | I am | come as a light into a world that does deny itself everything. It |

Tx:10.3 | of His thought system, the clearer the light becomes. The closer you | come to [the foundation of] the ego's thought system, the darker and |
Tx:10.4 | foundation without shrinking, you will also have looked upon ours. I | come to you from our Father to offer you everything again. Do not |
Tx:10.19 | with the Fatherhood of God in him? And yet the invitation must | come from you, for you have surely learned that whom you invite as |
Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But | come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will believe that |
Tx:10.36 | to enter, but you cannot bar the door which Christ holds open. | Come unto me who holds it open for you, for while I live it cannot be |
Tx:11.28 | do not understand that they dwell in abundance and that salvation is | come. |
Tx:11.55 | comes from self-extension, so does the perception of self-value | come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the world |
Tx:11.69 | by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its messengers will | come to you because you invited them. |
Tx:11.72 | will surround you because you called upon them and they will | come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you |
Tx:11.77 | how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it will | come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and it |
Tx:12.14 | you go into the blackness of the ego's foundation, the closer you | come to the love that is hidden there. And it is this that frightens |
Tx:12.25 | which death might indicate could only have been futile if it must | come to this and needs this to prove that it was. You question |
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:12.56 | awareness is narrowed to yourself. And that is why the nightmares | come. You dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not |
Tx:12.62 | you even here because you love it. And what you call with love will | come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for |
Tx:13.5 | into the darkness and enabling the world to see. For light must | come into the darkened world to make Christ's vision possible even |
Tx:13.25 | where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt will never | come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you must |
Tx:13.48 | give what you have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have | come first to yourself. And you must also have accepted it as yours, |
Tx:13.61 | unlearned for you. And then begin to learn the joyous lessons that | come quickly on the firm foundation that truth is true. For what is |
Tx:13.62 | darkness. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the light has | come and freed you from the sleep of darkness. |
Tx:14.15 | must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it holy. | Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace on all who |
Tx:14.15 | outside. Cast no one out, for this is what he seeks, along with you. | Come, let us join him in the holy place of peace, which is for all of |
Tx:14.23 | all is carefully concealed. We must open all doors and let the light | come streaming through. There are no hidden chambers in God's temple. |
Tx:14.23 | temple. Its gates are open wide to greet His Son. No one can fail to | come where God has called him if he close not the door himself upon |
Tx:14.27 | you do not want to what you do. You will realize that salvation must | come to you this way if you consider what dissociation is. |
Tx:14.48 | order of difficulty which stamps the miracle as something that must | come from elsewhere, not from here. From the world's viewpoint, this |
Tx:14.74 | for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it will | come. For understanding is in you, and from it peace must come. |
Tx:14.74 | it will come. For understanding is in you, and from it peace must | come. |
Tx:15.17 | of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will | come, being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has |
Tx:15.42 | it yours, for you are not ready to share it with Him. And it cannot | come into a mind that has decided to oppose it. For the holy instant |
Tx:15.63 | It is through us that peace will | come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas minds can |
Tx:15.102 | the Heaven within and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has | come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind of anyone |
Tx:16.3 | is only to remember this—you do not want anything you value to | come of the relationship. You will neither to hurt it nor to heal it |
Tx:16.16 | and honor His witnesses, who bring you the glad tidings He has | come. It is true, just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to |
Tx:16.16 | in clinging to it and denying the evidence for truth? For you have | come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you will yield to its |
Tx:16.29 | side and wait for you will not draw you safely across. For you will | come where you would be and where your Self awaits you. |
Tx:16.33 | seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it would gladly | come quietly to them. And when they find the fear of death is still |
Tx:16.35 | perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never | come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality. |
Tx:16.36 | which seems very real to you, but which does not exist. You have | come very close to truth, and only this stands between you and the |
Tx:16.67 | it made of your relationships. Now no one need suffer, for you have | come too far to yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of |
Tx:16.68 | instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but let it | come to you. |
Tx:16.79 | Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can | come to you. His help suffices, for His Messenger understands how to |
Tx:17.20 | unholy relationship in which the hatred is remembered, yet there to | come alive as the relationship is given to Him Who gives it life and |
Tx:17.25 | ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes | come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God are true. |
Tx:17.50 | will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness will | come to haunt you and to remind you of all the ways you once sought |
Tx:17.52 | see that in it rests salvation. Condemn salvation not, for it has | come to you. And welcome it together, for it has come to join you |
Tx:17.52 | not, for it has come to you. And welcome it together, for it has | come to join you together in a relationship in which all the Sonship |
Tx:17.58 | the first thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I want to | come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the goal belongs |
Tx:17.58 | approach is evident. The ego does not know what it wants to | come of it. It is aware of what it does not want, but only that. It |
Tx:17.61 | of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the truth has | come to you, and you will see the outcome truly, for deception cannot |
Tx:17.63 | And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not | come because faith has been denied, being withheld from where it |
Tx:17.67 | will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not | come separately. What situation can you be in without faith and |
Tx:17.73 | Spirit's goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has | come. Its call for faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness |
Tx:17.75 | But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot | come. |
Tx:18.2 | as different. One would unite; the other separate. Nothing can | come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as |
Tx:18.2 | joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to | come between the fragmented relationships the ego sponsors to destroy. |
Tx:18.5 | from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could | come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin |
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. |
W1:75.2 | long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The light has | come. Today the time of light begins for you and everyone. It is a |
W1:75.2 | in its passing. Today we see a different world because the light has | come. |
W1:75.3 | be given what we desire. We will to see the light; the light has | come. |
W1:75.4 | to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now that the light has | come. |
W1:75.6 | The light has | come. I have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.8 | The light has | come. I have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.9 | with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The light has | come. You have forgiven the world. |
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. |
W1:75.14 | The light has | come. I have forgiven you. |
W1:75.15 | beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world which has | come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real. |
W1:76.7 | Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The light has | come because there are no laws but His. |
W1:83.5 | [66] My happiness and my function are one. All things that | come from God are one. They come from Oneness and must be received as |
W1:83.5 | and my function are one. All things that come from God are one. They | come from Oneness and must be received as one. Fulfilling my function |
W1:83.5 | received as one. Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both | come from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes |
W1:88.2 | [75] The light has | come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to |
W1:88.2 | and illusion, 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 |
W1:88.4 | This cannot show me darkness, for the light has | come. The light in you is all that I would see, [name]. I would see |
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 |
W1:92.2 | These are among the many magical beliefs that | come from the conviction you are a body and the body's eyes can see. |
W1:93.11 | idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace it. Let it | come into its own. Here you are. This is you. And light and joy and |
W1:95.17 | to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let the light in you | come through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One |
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 | with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad time to | come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each time you |
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 |
W1:104.1 | but idle dreams. They are your right because of what you are. They | come to you from God, Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. Yet |
W1:104.7 | altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to which we | come to find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence |
W1:104.7 | and to which we come to find what has been given us by Him. We | come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is |
W1:104.8 | We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we | come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we |
W1:105.10 | let all bars to peace and joy be lifted up, and what is yours can | come to you at last. So tell yourself “God's peace and joy are mine,” |
W1:106.4 | dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last forever, for they | come from God to His dear Son, whose other name is you. |
W1:107.1 | to nothingness, returning whence they came. From dust to dust they | come and go, for only truth remains. |
W1:107.3 | intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has | come. |
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 |
W2:FL.6 | We | come in honesty to Him and say we did not understand and ask Him to |
W2:E.3 | telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to | come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His certain |
M:1.2 | They | come from all over the world. They come from all religions and from |
M:1.2 | They come from all over the world. They | come from all religions and from no religion. They are the ones who |
M:2.4 | it seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem to | come together in the present, finding each other as if they had not |
M:2.5 | When pupil and teacher | come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the teacher |
M:3.2 | if only for a moment. That moment will be enough. Salvation has | come. |
M:4.1 | not at all alike. They do not look alike to the body's eyes, they | come from vastly different backgrounds, their experiences of the |
M:4.8 | do! The teacher of God needs this period of respite. He has not yet | come as far as he thinks. Yet when he is ready to go on, he goes with |
M:4.14 | who realize that harm can actually achieve nothing. No gain can | come of it. |
M:4.15 | a way to Heaven? And who would choose the weakness that must | come from harm in place of the unfailing, all-encompassing, and |
M:4.16 | Gentleness means that fear is now impossible, and what could | come to interfere with joy? The open hands of gentleness are always |
M:4.16 | they are sure His Teacher goes before them, making sure no harm can | come to them. They hold His gifts and follow in His way because God's |
M:4.20 | of all things in time, no outcome already seen or yet to | come can cause them fear. |
M:4.23 | the mind against God's Teacher, so open-mindedness invites Him to | come in. As condemnation judges the Son of God as evil, so |
M:5.9 | To them God's teachers | come to represent another choice which they had forgotten. The simple |
M:5.9 | They stand for the alternative. With God's Word in their minds they | come in benediction, not to heal the sick but to remind them of the |
M:8.3 | Where do all these differences | come from? Certainly they seem to be in the world outside. Yet it is |
M:10.3 | of an inconceivably wide range of things, past, present, and to | come. One would have to recognize in advance all the effects of his |
M:10.4 | is perfect. He does know all the facts, past, present, and to | come. He does know all the effects of His judgment on everyone and |
M:10.5 | he came to judge, he comes to bless. Where now he laughs, he used to | come to weep. |
M:10.6 | of sickening despair and fear of death—all these have | come of it. And now he knows that these things need not be. Not one |
M:11.2 | Again we | come to the question of judgment. This time, ask yourself whether |
M:12.3 | that truth would encounter in them. Do not forget that truth can | come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's teachers |
M:12.4 | understand because of their Source. From this understanding will | come the recognition in this new teacher of God of what the body's |
M:12.4 | really is for it. This lesson is enough to let the thought of unity | come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The teachers of God |
M:12.6 | is the real function of God's teachers. They watch the dream figures | come and go, shift and change, suffer and die. Yet they are not |
M:14.5 | world will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has | come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in peace |
M:14.5 | world will end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has | come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will end in |
M:15.1 | could flee forever from the truth? But the Final Judgment will not | come until it is no longer associated with fear. One day each one |
M:16.5 | position you prefer. Having gone through the workbook you must have | come to some conclusions in this respect. If possible, however, just |
M:17.1 | well that he has asked for depression, pain, fear, and disaster to | come to him. Let him remember, then, it is not this that he would |
M:17.2 | Nor should it be forgotten that the outcome that results will always | come to teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been emphasized |
M:20.3 | to find it who but seeks out its conditions. God's peace can never | come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. Who sees |
M:21.5 | self-perception that he would leave behind. Judge not the words that | come to you, but offer them in confidence. They are far wiser than |
M:23.7 | This course has | come from him, because his words have reached you in a language you |
M:23.7 | because symbols must shift and change to suit the need. Jesus has | come to answer yours. In him you find God's Answer. Do you then teach |
M:25.1 | and he will not be content to be delayed by the little ones that may | come to him on the way. |
M:26.2 | all mistakes are recognized and overlooked by them. The time will | come when this is understood. And meanwhile they give all their gifts |
M:28.2 | There is no sorrow still upon the earth. The joy of Heaven has | come upon it. |
M:28.3 | and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless, and peace has | come. The goal of the curriculum has been achieved. Thoughts turn to |
M:28.3 | of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And now the truth can | come at last. How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and |
M:28.3 | the truth. And now the truth can come at last. How quickly will it | come as it is asked to enter and envelop such a world! |
M:29.2 | to answer these questions alone. Surely no teacher of God has | come this far without realizing that. The curriculum is highly |

Tx:9.35 | as you were created witnesses to God's. Yet when the Sonship | comes together and accepts its oneness, it will be known by its |

Tx:10.61 | little beliefs which are unworthy of God's Son. For until Christ | comes into His own, the Son of God will see himself as fatherless. |

Tx:11.6 | awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your sense of strain | comes from your attempts not to do just this. |
Tx:11.55 | have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you. As self-value | comes from self-extension, so does the perception of self-value come |
Tx:11.75 | to God and therefore deserve death. You will think that death | comes from God and not from the ego because, by confusing yourself |
Tx:12.37 | the other. For love cannot abide in a world apart, where when it | comes it is not recognized. If you see your own hatred as your |
Tx:12.42 | you is the vision of Christ, Who looks on all in light. Your vision | comes from fear, as His from love. And He sees for you as your |

Tx:14.13 | Blessed are you who teach with me. Our power | comes not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as |
Tx:14.31 | Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, including yours, | comes not from double vision but from the gentle fusing of everything |
Tx:15.58 | your needs as you perceive them, you must believe that strength | comes from another, and what you gain he loses. Someone must always |
Tx:15.62 | is lifted. Nothing has changed. Yet the awareness of changelessness | comes swiftly as the veil of time is pushed aside. No one who has not |
Tx:15.81 | over to your Redeemer's love. He will not fail you, for He | comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your sense of failure as |
Tx:15.102 | within and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He | comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked |
Tx:15.108 | embraces everything, and in the peace it re-establishes, love | comes of itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the |
Tx:17.7 | seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, | comes near to such loveliness. And nothing will you value like unto |
Tx:17.25 | Only the Thoughts of God are true. And all that follows from them | comes from what they are and is as true as is the holy Source from |
Tx:17.61 | and cannot be without them, where peace is they must be. Truth | comes of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the truth has |
Tx:18.23 | dream of waking is easily transferred to its reality. For this dream | comes from your will joined with the Will of God. And what this will |
Tx:18.25 | As the light | comes nearer, you will rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, |
Tx:18.34 | does require that you be not content with less than greatness, which | comes not of you. Your difficulty with the holy instant arises from |
Tx:18.67 | concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. When peace | comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against |
Tx:18.67 | temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light | comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal |
Tx:18.67 | or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always | comes with just one happy realization: “I need do nothing.” |
Tx:18.69 | the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit | comes and there abides. He will remain when you forget and the body's |
Tx:18.78 | realize the life and joy which love would bring to it from where it | comes and where it would return with you. |
Tx:19.88 | with terror and makes your body tremble and the cold sweat of fear | comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the ego has |
Tx:20.37 | In this world, God's Son | comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins to |
Tx:21.23 | is not an instant of creation but of recognition. For recognition | comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to |
Tx:21.29 | the other. Thus in the “fairness” you attempt to ease the guilt that | comes from the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is why |
Tx:21.70 | Do you not see that all your misery | comes from the strange belief that you are powerless? Being helpless |
Tx:21.73 | as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find another and never | comes to rest in victory. And as it runs, it turns against itself, |
Tx:21.77 | is the choice of whether to attack or heal. For healing | comes of power and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot |
Tx:21.87 | confound its constancy because its own desire cannot be shaken. It | comes as surely unto those who see the final question is necessary to |
Tx:22.15 | Christ | comes to what is like Himself; the same, not different. For He is |
Tx:22.45 | reality. They go against what must be true. The opposition | comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes nothing. What merely |
Tx:23.7 | The memory of God | comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is conflict, for |
Tx:23.30 | unless you know what it is for? And here a final principle of chaos | comes to the rescue. It holds there is a substitute for love. This is |
Tx:24.10 | The fear of God and of each other | comes from each unrecognized belief in specialness. For each demands |
Tx:24.48 | yourself. Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet | comes. He will exchange His certainty for all your doubts if you |
Tx:24.61 | 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 effortless |
Tx:24.61 | Out of His lack of conflict comes your peace. And from His purpose | comes the means for effortless accomplishment and rest. |
Tx:25.58 | the sin he sees within the world offer him less and less— until he | comes to understand it cost him his sanity and stands between him and |
Tx:25.68 | and are afraid of love. And deep suspicion and the chill of fear | comes over them when they are told that they have never sinned. Their |
Tx:25.75 | really happening within yourself. The understanding which you need | comes not of you but from a larger Self, so great and holy that He |
Tx:26.28 | to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself | comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his home. Not |
Tx:26.47 | possible. For when it once is possible, it must occur. All sickness | comes from separation. When the separation is denied, it goes. For it |
Tx:26.73 | already there? You have been told that everything brings good that | comes from God. And yet it seems as if this is not so. Good in |
Tx:26.80 | it into Heaven, where the lights grow ever brighter as each one | comes home. The incomplete is made complete again, and Heaven's joy |
Tx:27.16 | What you would prove to him, you will believe. The power of witness | comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or think but |
Tx:27.25 | purpose, being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, there | comes a necessary view of function split between the two. And what |
Tx:28.11 | The miracle | comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still. It |
Tx:28.29 | effects. Healing is the effect of minds which join, as sickness | comes from minds which separate. |
Tx:28.43 | his dream, has left the space between them vacant. And the Father | comes to join His Son the Holy Spirit joined. |
Tx:29.8 | there is no gap behind which you can hide? There is a shock that | comes to those who learn their savior is their enemy no more. There |
Tx:29.24 | the midst of dreams of desolation and disaster. See how eagerly he | comes and steps aside from heavy shadows that have hidden him and |
Tx:29.42 | it be forgot in such a world, it is a little while till timelessness | comes quietly to take the place of time. |
Tx:29.43 | His answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain | comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting where |
Tx:29.44 | No one who | comes here but must still have hope, some lingering illusion, or some |
Tx:29.59 | the question has been asked. The world believes in idols. No one | comes unless he worshiped them and still attempts to seek for one |
Tx:30.47 | always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle | comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is |
Tx:31.34 | felt at once. The choice is not what will the ending be but when it | comes. |
Tx:31.91 | to prevail, replacing all your weakness with the strength that | comes from God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as |
W1:17.1 | because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that | comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the |
W1:38.9 | unless a specific problem concerning you or someone else arises or | comes to mind. In that event, use the more specific form of |
W1:57.6 | of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace | comes from deep within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the |
W1:65.6 | that arises which would interfere with it. Note each one as it | comes to you with as little involvement or concern as possible, |
W1:70.8 | today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that salvation | comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this way: |
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 from me. |
W1:70.14 | frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation | comes from you and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your |
W1:70.15 | My salvation | comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is |
W1:72.7 | where angry animals seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego | comes to save you. God made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this |
W1:85.5 | [70] My salvation | comes from me. Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in |
W1:90.5 | problems only because I am misusing time. I believe that the problem | comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do |
W1:91.2 | is not there. This follows from the premises from which the darkness | comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to |
W1:92.5 | rule where God appointed that there should be light. Strength | comes from truth and shines with light its Source has given it; |
W1:92.8 | not shift from night to day and back to darkness till the morning | comes again. The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever |
W1:96.5 | which serves the Spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power | comes from Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. |
W1:96.9 | practicing will be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation | comes from this One Self through Him Who is the bridge between your |
W1:96.12 | Salvation | comes from my One Self. Its thoughts are mine to use. |
W1:96.17 | Each time today you tell your frantic mind salvation | comes from your One Self, you lay another treasure in your growing |
W1:106.4 | of God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would speak to you. He | comes with miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as |
W1:108.3 | perception, based upon one frame of reference from which one meaning | comes. |
W1:109.8 | waking. And the time when rest will be the only thing there is | comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their |
W1:109.10 | rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother | comes to take his rest and offer it to you. |
W1:110.5 | world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that | comes to set you free. This is the truth that God has promised you. |
W1:113.3 | [96] Salvation | comes from my One Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge still |
W1:113.7 | Salvation | comes from my One Self. |
W1:122.8 | world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it | comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet |
W1:126.1 | sure direction. You would understand the means by which salvation | comes to you and would not hesitate to use it now. |
W1:127.11 | with you and who came to learn what you must learn. And as he | comes to mind, give him this message from your Self: |
W1:129.5 | back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that | comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from little things |
W1:130.11 | see. Perception is consistent with your choice, and hell or Heaven | comes to you as one. |
W1:131.1 | is the setting of his searching and the place to which he | comes to find stability? |
W1:131.4 | that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought and one which | comes to you from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new— |
W1:132.1 | but when their source is raised to question that the hope of freedom | comes to him at last. |
W1:132.14 | of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which | comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but |
W1:132.19 | You need not realize that healing | comes to many brothers far across the world as well as to the ones |
W1:133.17 | reaches unencumbered to the gate of Heaven, which swings open as he | comes. Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens |
W1:135.10 | conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the pain that | comes from the conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and |
W1:135.25 | which remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer | comes to you at last. |
W1:135.28 | benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of all the happiness that | comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the world |
W1:136.15 | no illusions can remain where it has been allowed to enter. And it | comes to any mind that would lay down its arms and cease to play with |
W1:140.14 | us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when healing | comes to us. This is the day when separation ends and we remember Who |
W1:151.13 | the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that | comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back to |
W1:155.7 | and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth | comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of death and |
W1:158.9 | disappear because a vision of the holiness which lies beyond them | comes to take their place. It matters not what form they took nor how |
W1:158.11 | It matters not when revelation | comes, for that is not of time. Yet time has still one gift to give |
W1:159.3 | Christ's vision is a miracle. It | comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the |
W1:160.2 | There is a stranger in our midst who | comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a different |
W1:160.2 | regards as senseless. Stranger yet, he does not recognize to whom he | comes and yet maintains his home belongs to him, while he is alien |
W1:165.4 | perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be before it | comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies |
W1:166.6 | road he walks. No one but has identified with him, for everyone who | comes here has pursued the path he follows and has felt defeat and |
W1:166.13 | way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the happiness that | comes to those who feel the touch of Christ and recognize God's |
W1:167.12 | our life because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection | comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created |
W1:168.3 | All steps but this we learn, instructed by His Voice. But finally He | comes Himself and takes us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of |
W1:169.6 | We cannot speak nor write nor even think of this at all. It | comes to every mind when total recognition that its will is God's has |
W1:169.9 | no one in the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness | comes, it will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, |
W1:169.10 | the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation | comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet |
W1:169.13 | Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace and for experience that | comes from grace. We welcome the release it offers everyone. We do |
W1:170.11 | of Love Itself? The blood appears to be upon His lips; the fire | comes from Him. And He is terrible above all else, cruel beyond |
W1:R5.9 | My resurrection | comes again each time I lead a brother safely to the place at which |
W1:R5.15 | mind as needed to its purpose. We place faith in the experience that | comes from practice, not the means we use. We wait for the experience |
W1:I2.2 | lifting brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that | comes as you give up your tight control of what you see speaks for |
W1:181.2 | your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience the peace that | comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure |
W1:182.9 | a little child that you might learn of Him how strong is he who | comes without defenses, offering only love's messages to those who |
W1:182.10 | For he must learn that what he would protect is but this Child, Who | comes defenseless and Who is protected by defenselessness. Go home |
W1:183.3 | their mourning, and the tears of pain are dried as happy laughter | comes to bless the world. |
W1:184.7 | is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone who | comes must go through. But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, |
W1:186.11 | clear and wholly unambiguous. There is no doubt of its validity. It | comes from One Who knows no error. And His Voice is certain of its |
W1:193.9 | sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which salvation | comes to all the world. |
W1:196.11 | at last. Yet in this instant is the time as well in which salvation | comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to |
W2:227.2 | Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day | comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his |
W2:232.1 | will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening | comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love, and let |
W2:247.1 | suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's vision | comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the simple |
W2:252.1 | all things within it in the calm of quiet certainty. Its strength | comes not from burning impulses which move the world but from the |
W2:274.2 | A special blessing | comes to us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him |
W2:WIRW.5 | And as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and | comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our |
W2:291.2 | is quiet to receive the thoughts You offer me. And I accept what | comes from You instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. |
W2:310.1 | be. And what I will experience is not of time at all. The joy that | comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to |
W2:310.1 | at all. The joy that comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it | comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day will be Your sweet reminder |
W2:314.1 | From new perception of the world there | comes a future very different from the past. The future now is |
W2:325.1 | upon, esteemed as real, and guarded as one's own. From insane wishes | comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And |
W2:325.1 | one's own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment | comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world |
W2:325.1 | comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world | comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a |
W2:327.2 | Your word is one with You. You give the means whereby conviction | comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained at last. |
W2:346.2 | And when the evening | comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we |
W2:358.1 | You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me | comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, |
M:2.4 | present, finding each other as if they had not met before. The pupil | comes at the right time to the right place. This is inevitable, |
M:4.8 | Now | comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which the |

M:4.17 | But he learns faster as his trust increases. It is not danger that | comes when defenses are laid down. It is safety. It is peace. It is |
M:4.23 | when its relation to forgiveness is recognized. Open-mindedness | comes with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the mind against God's |
M:10.5 | makes no mistakes. His Guide is sure. And where he came to judge, he | comes to bless. Where now he laughs, he used to come to weep. |
M:15.1 | in which all things are freed with him. Time pauses as eternity | comes near, and silence lies across the world that everyone may hear |
M:15.3 | to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. And His Judgment | comes to all who stand aside in quiet listening and wait for Him. |
M:17.8 | white light against a black horizon, for such it is. If anger | comes from an interpretation and not a fact, it is never justified. |
M:21.2 | references. Even when they seem most abstract, the picture that | comes to mind is apt to be very concrete. Unless a specific referent |

Tx:18.31 | desire the power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are | coming home together after a long and meaningless journey which you |

Tx:4.95 | is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it will disrupt | communication when it experiences threat. While this is always so, |
Tx:4.95 | perceived demands may be classified or judged by the ego as coercive | communication which must be disrupted, the response of breaking |
Tx:4.95 | communication which must be disrupted, the response of breaking | communication will nevertheless be to a specific person or persons. |

Tx:4.97 | This | communication is the Will of God. Creation and communication are |
Tx:4.97 | This communication is the Will of God. Creation and | communication are synonymous. God created every mind by communicating |
Tx:4.97 | His creations naturally communicate with Him and like Him. This | communication is perfectly abstract in that its quality is universal |
Tx:4.98 | Existence as well as being rests on | communication. Existence, however, is specific in how, what, and with |
Tx:4.98 | Existence, however, is specific in how, what, and with whom | communication is judged to be worth undertaking. Being is completely |
Tx:4.98 | without these distinctions. It is a state in which the mind is in | communication with everything that is real, including the Soul. To |
Tx:4.101 | it with your whole mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is | communication from God. It is not enough until it is shared. God does |
Tx:5.22 | no longer share His knowledge with you without hindrance. Direct | communication was broken because you had made another voice through |
Tx:5.25 | for the right choice because He speaks for God. He is your remaining | communication with God, which you can interrupt but cannot destroy. |
Tx:6.16 | Remember that the Holy Spirit is the | communication link between God the Father and His separated Sons. If |
Tx:6.36 | line which the Holy Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of | communication with God and lets your mind converge with His. There is |
Tx:6.40 | By attacking nothing, He presents no barrier at all to the | communication of God. Thus, being is never threatened. Your Godlike |
Tx:6.56 | The separation was not a loss of perfection but a failure in | communication. A harsh and strident form of communication arose as |
Tx:6.56 | but a failure in communication. A harsh and strident form of | communication arose as the ego's voice. It could not shatter the |
Tx:6.57 | He knows your mind only as whole? What God does know is that His | communication channels are not open to Him so that He cannot impart |
Tx:6.65 | The Holy Spirit, who leads to God, translates | communication into being, just as He ultimately translates perception |
Tx:6.65 | fearful one indeed. The Holy Spirit sees the body only as a means of | communication and because communicating is sharing, it becomes |
Tx:6.65 | who communicate fear are promoting attack, and attack always breaks | communication, making it impossible. |
Tx:6.74 | messages and accepting both. This is the classic “double bind” in | communication. |
Tx:7.18 | understood, but it does need extension because it means extension. | Communication is perfectly direct and perfectly united. It is totally |
Tx:7.39 | here, but the Holy Spirit's decision to use the body only for | communication has such a direct connection with healing that it does |
Tx:7.41 | develop if he is to be healed. Healing is the Holy Spirit's form of | communication and the only one He knows. He recognizes no other, |
Tx:8.54 | Remember that the Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of | communication. Being the communication link between God and His |
Tx:8.54 | interprets the body only as a means of communication. Being the | communication link between God and His separated Sons, the Holy |
Tx:8.56 | Communication ends separation. Attack promotes it. The body is | |
Tx:8.59 | except by belief, since thought is not physical. Yet thought is | communication, for which the body can be used. This is the only |
Tx:8.62 | Healing is the result of using the body solely for | communication. Since this is natural, it heals by making whole, which |
Tx:8.63 | entity cannot but foster illness because it is not true. A medium of | communication will lose its usefulness if it is used for anything |
Tx:8.63 | its usefulness if it is used for anything else. To use a medium of | communication as a medium of attack is an obvious confusion in |
Tx:8.68 | in not believing them. There is no attack, but there is unlimited | communication and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. The power |
Tx:8.94 | minds, you would recognize that willing is salvation because it is | communication. It is impossible to communicate in alien tongues. You |
Tx:8.95 | mind. This loses the ability to communicate simply because confused | communication does not mean anything. A message cannot be said to be |
Tx:8.100 | cannot ask the Holy Spirit for anything because there is complete | communication failure between them. Yet you can ask for everything of |
Tx:9.3 | does not perceive his errors. This must be true if there is no | communication at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego |
Tx:9.37 | a mind like His. In your open mind are your creations, in perfect | communication born of perfect understanding. Could you but accept one |
Tx:9.76 | one channel for healing, because He has but one Son. His remaining | communication link with all His Children joins them together and them |
Tx:12.50 | eternal, and they are one. Their continuity is timeless, and their | communication is unbroken, for they are not separated by the past. |
Tx:13.41 | You will not keep what God would have removed, because it breaks | communication with you with whom He would communicate. His voice will |
Tx:13.42 | The | Communication Link which God Himself placed within you, joining your |
Tx:13.42 | does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and constant | communication which God would share with you is known. Yet His |
Tx:13.72 | Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You will learn | communication with this oneness only when you learn to deny the |
Tx:13.82 | of not communicating with your Creator. Yet you remain in close | communication with Him and with everything that is within Him, as it |
Tx:13.82 | isolation through His loving guidance and learn of all the happy | communication that you have thrown away but could not lose. |
Tx:14.4 | you have placed within your mind cannot exist, for what is not in | communication with the Mind of God has never been. Communication with |
Tx:14.4 | what is not in communication with the Mind of God has never been. | Communication with God is life. Nothing without it is at all. |
Tx:14.8 | us in this world. So will the world of separation slip away and full | communication be restored between the Father and the Son. |
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:14.21 | you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom you are in perfect | communication. |
Tx:14.22 | all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your true | communication to those who would communicate as truly with you. You |
Tx:14.22 | and the other everything, only that one is possible for purposes of | communication. The other but interferes with it. |
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:15.64 | of communication with all your brothers is remembered with Him. For | communication is remembered together, as is truth. There is no |
Tx:15.64 | take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the full | communication of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, |
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:18.56 | illusion of yourself. The body is a limit imposed on the universal | communication which is an eternal property of mind. But the |
Tx:18.56 | communication which is an eternal property of mind. But the | communication is internal. [It is not made up of different parts |
Tx:19.57 | us apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no better means for | communication of salvation, but not its Source. No one can die for |
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:19.76 | also be received to be truly given. For the Holy Spirit, too, is a | communication medium, receiving from the Father and offering His |
Tx:19.83 | Death, were it true, would be the final and complete disruption of | communication which is the ego's goal. |
Tx:19.84 | and how loudly they call to it and bid it come to save them from | communication. For death is seen as safety, the great dark savior |
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:22.13 | joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can join. | Communication must have been restored to those that join, for this |
Tx:30.87 | How can | communication really be established while the symbols which are used |
Tx:30.87 | with meaning. It must be forever unintelligible. This is not | communication. Your dark dreams are but the senseless, isolated |
W1:49.1 | any way. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant | communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. It is the |

W1:129.4 | a silence where the language is unspoken and yet surely understood. | Communication, unambiguous and plain as day, remains unlimited for |
W1:183.12 | Father's holy Name. In this eternal, still relationship, in which | communication far transcends all words and yet exceeds in depth and |
W1:184.5 | this is what learning means—its one essential goal by which | communication is achieved and concepts can be meaningfully shared. |

M:25.2 | It would be impossible to do so. The limits the world places on | communication are the chief barrier to direct experience of the Holy |

communion (21) | ||
Tx:1.26 | willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter into | communion but will also understand peace and joy. Your commitment is |
Tx:1.43 | truth. It thus dispels man's illusions about himself and puts him in | communion with himself and God. |
Tx:1.45 | The Soul never loses its | communion with God. Only the mind needs Atonement. The miracle joins |
Tx:2.50 | arises from their misperception of themselves. Egocentricity and | communion cannot coexist. Even the terms are contradictory. |

Tx:16.16 | come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you will yield to its | compelling attraction. You can delay this now but only a little |
Tx:17.54 | The experience of an instant, however | compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you allow time to close |
Tx:17.69 | its fulfillment. Nothing too small or too enormous, too weak or too | compelling, but will be gently turned to its use and purpose. The |
compellingly (2) | ||
Tx:9.51 | Grandeur is totally without illusions, and because it is real, it is | compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of reality will not |
Tx:11.64 | it. For you can be aware of what you cannot see, and it can become | compellingly real to you as its presence becomes manifest through |
compels (1) | ||
Tx:27.54 | the Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain | compels attention, drawing it away from Him and focusing upon itself. |
compete (1) | ||
Tx:7.28 | Because God's equal Sons have everything, they cannot | compete. Yet if they perceive any of their brothers as anything other |

Tx:8.31 | yours invincible by this sharing, but I cannot oppose yours without | competing with it and thereby violating God's Will for you. |
competition (4) | ||
Tx:7.28 | brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the idea of | competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate your need |
Tx:14.48 | Miracles are not in | competition, and the number of them that you can do is limitless. |
Tx:14.48 | world's viewpoint, this is impossible. You have experienced lack of | competition among your thoughts, which, even though they may |
W1:13.7 | A meaningless world engenders fear because I think I am in | competition with God. |
competitive (2) | ||
Tx:7.4 | The ego demands reciprocal rights because it is | competitive rather than loving. It is always willing to make a |
Tx:28.54 | doubts. It does not wonder what it is. And so it has no need to be | competitive. It can be victimized but cannot feel itself as victim. |
competitiveness (1) | ||
Tx:9.49 | and you could not possibly want it. The essence of grandiosity is | competitiveness, because it always involves attack. It is a |

Tx:2.93 | You who constantly | complain about fear still persist in creating it. I told you before |
Tx:10.80 | You | complain that this course is not sufficiently specific for you to |

Tx:31.4 | You have continued, taking every step, however difficult, without | complaint until a world was built that suited you. And every lesson |

Tx:1.37 | Revelation induces | complete but temporary suspension of doubt and fear. It represents |
Tx:1.74 | aspect of the miracle should be Christ-controlled because of His | complete awareness of the whole plan. The impersonal nature of |
Tx:1.80 | brothers has placed me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render | complete only to the extent to which I can share it. This may appear |
Tx:1.88 | as little children” means that, unless you fully recognize your | complete dependence on God, you cannot know the real power of the Son |
Tx:1.89 | You who want peace can find it only by | complete forgiveness. You never really wanted peace before, so there |
Tx:1.106 | as a single slave remains to walk the earth, your release is not | complete. Complete restoration of the Sonship is the only true goal |
Tx:1.106 | slave remains to walk the earth, your release is not complete. | Complete restoration of the Sonship is the only true goal of the |
Tx:2.4 | was not an actual garden at all. It was merely a mental state of | complete need-lack. Even in the literal account, it is noteworthy |
Tx:2.39 | a limit on the need for the belief and ultimately to make learning | complete. The Atonement is the final lesson. Learning itself, like |
Tx:2.104 | only to your readiness. Mastery of love involves a much more | complete confidence than either of you has attained. However, the |
Tx:3.58 | are really one with it need but know yourself, and your knowledge is | complete. To know God's miracle is to know Him. |
Tx:4.52 | as our Father created us. I will love you and honor you and maintain | complete respect for what you have made, but I will neither honor it |
Tx:4.89 | This is only because I completed my part in it as a man and can now | complete it through other men. My chosen receiving and sending |
Tx:4.96 | It knows that what is true is everything that God created. It is in | complete and direct communication with every aspect of creation |
Tx:4.96 | direct communication with every aspect of creation because it is in | complete and direct communication with its Creator. |
Tx:4.100 | But unless you take your part in the creation, His joy is not | complete because yours is incomplete. And this He does know. He knows |
Tx:5.20 | the restoration of the integrity of the mind. When the Atonement is | complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there will be no call to |
Tx:5.55 | My part in the Atonement is not | complete until you join it and give it away. As you teach, so shall |
Tx:5.57 | the only creator that can create like the Father, because only the | complete can think completely, and the thinking of God lacks nothing. |
Tx:5.74 | The ego's decisions are always wrong, because they are based on a | complete fallacy which they were made to uphold. Nothing the ego |
Tx:6.43 | Safety is the | complete relinquishment of attack. No compromise is possible in this. |
Tx:6.68 | one you must take for yourself. It is not even necessary that you | complete the step yourself, but it is necessary that you turn in that |
Tx:6.69 | however, they will be helped. Once they have chosen what they cannot | complete alone, they are no longer alone. |
Tx:6.75 | escape this, and if you accept two thought systems which are in | complete disagreement, peace of mind is impossible. If you teach |
Tx:7.6 | with you. To this the Holy Spirit leads you that your joy may be | complete, because the Kingdom of God is whole. We have said that the |
Tx:7.85 | belief that by giving it out you have excluded it from within is a | complete distortion of the power of extension. |
Tx:7.94 | in the Kingdom. Every Soul is fulfilling its function, and only | complete fulfillment is peace. |
Tx:8.25 | If God's Will for you is | complete peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be |
Tx:8.25 | do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is all in all. His peace is | complete, and you must be included in it. His laws govern you, |
Tx:8.68 | true. Free your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its | complete impossibility and your full awareness of its complete |
Tx:8.68 | In its complete impossibility and your full awareness of its | complete impossibility lie your only hope for release. But what other |
Tx:8.100 | The ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for anything because there is | complete communication failure between them. Yet you can ask for |
Tx:9.47 | in exchange for your return of what belongs to Him and renders Him | complete. |
Tx:9.51 | of your reality literally drives the ego from your mind because of | complete lack of investment in it. Grandeur is totally without |
Tx:9.73 | If you realized the | complete havoc this makes of your peace of mind, you could not make |
Tx:10.19 | for beside your small willingness to make whole, He will lay His own | complete will and make yours whole. What can the Son of God not |
Tx:10.24 | my children, if you knew what God wills for you, your joy would be | complete! And what He wills has happened, for it was always true. |
Tx:10.45 | creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative function lies in your | complete dependence on God, Whose function He shares with you. By His |
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:21.54 | if the plan of God for your salvation is complete. And it must be | complete because its Source knows not of incompletion. Where would |
Tx:21.65 | is one with you, in just an instant. And any instant serves to bring | complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The instant |
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:30.40 | To seek a special person or a thing to add to you to make yourself | complete can only mean that you believe some form is missing. And by |
Tx:30.41 | to ask for. Nor could it be possible it be denied. Your will to be | complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by being His. God |
Tx:30.41 | Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the power to | complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son |
Tx:30.47 | you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so | complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in |
Tx:30.70 | no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and will be made | complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for dreams of |
Tx:31.41 | In unity with Him do they abide, and in their Oneness both are kept | complete. |
Tx:31.97 | remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy Will is done, | complete and perfectly, and all creation recognizes You and knows You |
W1:9.7 | It is emphasized again that while | complete inclusion should not be attempted, specific exclusion must |
W1:41.8 | about you; on the unfailing companionship which is yours; on the | complete protection that surrounds you. |
W1:56.2 | at the mercy of a world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and | complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my |
W1:67.1 | Today's idea is a | complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are |
W1:75.7 | it shown to you. While you wait, repeat several times slowly and in | complete patience: |
W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one idea which brings | complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of |
W1:95.17 | You are One Self, | complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of |
W1:98.6 | time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose with the promise of | complete success. And since time has no meaning, you are being asked |
W1:100.2 | is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be | complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. |
W1:105.5 | to timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that is | complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that |
W1:105.6 | Today accept God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him | complete Himself as He defines completion. You will understand that |
W1:105.6 | defines completion. You will understand that what completes Him must | complete His Son as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can |
W1:108.4 | it is understood that both occur together, that the thought remain | complete. And in this understanding is the base on which all |
W1:109.11 | We rest together here, for thus our rest is made | complete, and what we give today we have received already. Time is |
W1:110.2 | death do not exist. Today's idea is therefore all you need to let | complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision which |
W1:126.1 | about. If you believed this statement, there would be no problem in | complete forgiveness, certainty of goal, and sure direction. You |
W1:134.1 | of righteous wrath, a gift unjustified and undeserved, and a | complete denial of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be |
W1:R4.9 | His own completion joins with Him, so will He join with you who are | complete as you unite with Him and He with you. |
W1:152.1 | wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your world, | complete in all details. Here is its whole reality for you. And it is |
W1:160.10 | Not one He fails to give you to remember that your home may be | complete and perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you. |
W1:161.1 | where fear and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement made | complete, the world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored. Here |
W1:161.2 | Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part | |
W1:162.4 | Love to be distributed to all the world, increased in giving, kept | complete because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to |
W1:162.5 | to all as remedy for grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for | complete escape from sin and guilt? |
W1:164.9 | His promise fail? Can you withhold so little when His Hand holds out | complete salvation to His Son? |
W1:169.7 | means. All learning was already in His Mind, accomplished and | complete. He recognized all that time holds and gave it to all minds |
W1:170.14 | we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who render us | complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. |
W1:R5.12 | your name. Your glory undefiled forever. And your wholeness now | complete, as God established it. You are His Son, completing His |
W1:186.13 | He knows no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is | complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything |
W1:192.1 | It is your Father's holy will that you | complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever |
W1:192.2 | Creation merely waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be | complete. |
W1:192.5 | as what it is—a simple teaching aid to be laid by when learning is | complete, but hardly changing him who learns at all. The mind without |
W1:195.6 | would reduce our wholeness nor impair or change our function to | complete the One Who is Himself completion. We give thanks for every |
W1:195.8 | other things still locked away as sins. When your forgiveness is | complete, you will have total gratitude, for you will see that |
W1:197.9 | it. Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self | complete. And from this Self is no one left outside. Give thanks for |
W2:I.10 | God's plan will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is | complete. This year has brought us to eternity. |
W2:238.2 | dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made | complete in him. |

Tx:1.68 | Miracles are affirmations of Sonship, which is a state of | completion and abundance. Whatever is true and real is eternal and |

Tx:15.78 | forgiveness here, for there is no desire to exclude anyone from your | completion in sudden recognition of the value of his part in it. In |
Tx:15.78 | all are invited and made welcome. And you understand that your | completion is God's, Whose only need is to have you be complete. For |
Tx:15.78 | is God's, Whose only need is to have you be complete. For your | completion makes you His in your awareness. And here it is that you |

Tx:16.39 | your mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own sense of | completion and thus denies the wholeness of your Father. Every |
Tx:16.40 | you stay. Hear not the call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your | completion lies in truth and nowhere else]. See in the call of hate |
Tx:16.40 | ceaselessly from you to your Creator. Would He not answer you whose | completion is His? He loves you wholly without illusion, as you must |

Tx:16.47 | accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on what | completion is and how it is accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that |

Tx:16.47 | lies first in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego, | completion lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory” even |
Tx:16.53 | it is never completed nor ever will be completed. For the ritual of | completion cannot complete, and life arises not from death, nor |
Tx:16.55 | to obscure their tininess and His greatness. In the name of your | completion, you do not want this. For every idol which you raise to |
Tx:19.49 | there it sees itself, with which it would unite in holy union and | completion. As love must look past fear, so must fear see love not. |

Tx:31.68 | “good” in anyone, believing that the “bad” must lurk behind. This | concept emphasizes treachery, and trust becomes impossible. Nor could |

Tx:14.14 | Crucifixion is always the ego's aim. It sees as guilty, and by its | condemnation, it would kill. The Holy Spirit sees only guiltlessness, |

Tx:22.61 | unless his Father is? You do not see that every sin and every | condemnation which you perceive and justify is an attack upon your |
Tx:23.35 | not mean death? Can an attack in any form be love? What form of | condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior powerless and finds |
Tx:24.41 | of peace and the escape from pain—in which you suffer not your | condemnation. In dreams, effect and cause are interchanged, for here |
Tx:24.42 | forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth and sees no | condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He |
Tx:24.57 | He who condemned himself, and you as well, is given you to save from | condemnation along with you. And both shall see God's glory in His |
Tx:24.65 | death. And if you see this purpose in your brother's, such is your | condemnation of your own. Weave, rather then, a frame of holiness |
Tx:25.31 | Is this a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he need help or | condemnation? Is it your purpose that he be saved or damned? |
Tx:27.15 | lies the proof that he has truly pardoned and retains no trace of | condemnation that he still would hold against himself or any living |
Tx:27.47 | it to die. Would not a world so bitterly bereft be looked on as a | condemnation by the one who could have saved it but stepped back |
Tx:27.65 | There is indeed a need. The world's escape from | condemnation is a need which those within the world are joined in |
Tx:27.65 | their common need. For each one thinks that if he does his part, the | condemnation of the world will rest on him. And it is this that he |
Tx:27.67 | The part you play in salvaging the world from | condemnation is your own escape. Forget not that the witness to the |
W1:46.1 | does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be | condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the |
W1:126.2 | of yourself, while you can judge their sin and yet remain apart from | condemnation and at peace. |

Tx:2.97 | his own miscreations. The fundamental opponents in the real basic | conflict are creation and miscreation. All fear is implicit in the |
Tx:2.97 | love is inherent in the first. Because of this difference, the basic | conflict is one between love and fear. |
Tx:2.98 | of his control by definition. Yet any attempt to resolve the basic | conflict through the concept of mastery of fear is meaningless. In |
Tx:2.98 | rests entirely on the mastery of love. In the interim, the sense of | conflict is inevitable since man has placed himself in a strangely |
Tx:2.99 | extent one is believed in, the other has been denied. In the | conflict fear is really nothing, and love is everything. This is |
Tx:2.102 | is obscured as long as any of its parts are missing. That is why the | conflict cannot ultimately be resolved until all the parts of the |
Tx:2.107 | than would ordinarily be the case because they must emerge from the | conflict if they are to bring peace to other minds. |

Tx:5.22 | This is a | conflict state. It means that knowledge has been lost, because |

Tx:6.23 | opposed thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect symbol of | conflict between the ego and the Son of God. [It was as much |
Tx:6.36 | with God and lets your mind converge with His. There is no | conflict anywhere in this perception, because it means that all |
Tx:6.36 | Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve | conflict, because only the Holy Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives |
Tx:6.47 | the answer and the ego is afraid of you. You cannot understand the | conflict until you fully understand one basic fact that the ego does |
Tx:6.61 | you can overcome death because I did. Death is an attempt to resolve | conflict by not willing at all. Like any other impossible solution |
Tx:6.69 | This step appears to exacerbate | conflict rather than resolve it, because it is the beginning step in |
Tx:6.69 | remain at this step for a very long time, experiencing very acute | conflict. At this point, many try to accept the conflict rather than |
Tx:6.69 | very acute conflict. At this point, many try to accept the | conflict rather than take the next step towards its resolution. |

Tx:6.76 | There can be no | conflict between sanity and insanity. Only one is true, and therefore |

Tx:6.79 | of what you want. This, then, is a step in the direction out of | conflict since it means that alternatives have been considered and |
Tx:6.87 | While the first step seems to increase | conflict and the second step still entails it to some extent, this |
Tx:7.12 | he will make the right decision. This is because he has the answer. | Conflict can seem to be interpersonal, but it must be intrapersonal |
Tx:7.29 | believe that you can attend to what is not true, you are accepting | conflict as your choice. Is it really a choice? It seems to be, but |
Tx:7.34 | properly perceived. Perceived improperly, it induces a perception of | conflict with something else, as all incorrect perception does. |
Tx:7.34 | perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a way out of | conflict, as all proper perception can. |
Tx:7.44 | the healer is obviously accepting inconsistency. He is therefore in | conflict and teaching conflict. Can anything of God not be for all |
Tx:7.44 | accepting inconsistency. He is therefore in conflict and teaching | conflict. Can anything of God not be for all and for always? |
Tx:7.60 | all. They therefore do not exist for Him. He resolves the apparent | conflict which they engender by perceiving conflict as meaningless. |
Tx:7.60 | He resolves the apparent conflict which they engender by perceiving | conflict as meaningless. We said before that the Holy Spirit |
Tx:7.60 | as meaningless. We said before that the Holy Spirit perceives the | conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit |
Tx:7.60 | it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit does not want you to understand | conflict; He wants you to realize that, because conflict is |
Tx:7.60 | you to understand conflict; He wants you to realize that, because | conflict is meaningless, it cannot be understood. We have already |
Tx:7.63 | coexist in peace and if you want peace, you must give up the idea of | conflict entirely and for all time. [This requires vigilance only as |
Tx:7.68 | without meaning. Yet because God's Will is unchangeable, no real | conflict of will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly |
Tx:7.84 | The ego always tries to preserve | conflict. It is very ingenious in devising ways which seem to |
Tx:7.84 | It is very ingenious in devising ways which seem to diminish | conflict, because it does not want you to find conflict so |
Tx:7.84 | seem to diminish conflict, because it does not want you to find | conflict so intolerable that you will insist on giving it up. |
Tx:7.84 | up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade you that it can free you of | conflict, lest you give the ego up and free yourself. The ego, using |
Tx:7.84 | of the mind only to defeat the mind's real purpose. It projects | conflict from your mind to other minds in an attempt to persuade you |
Tx:7.85 | Strictly speaking, | conflict cannot be projected, precisely because it cannot be fully |
Tx:7.101 | will be gaining everything. If you believed this, there would be no | conflict. |
Tx:8.1 | peace must be learned. This is only because those who are in | conflict are not peaceful, and peace is the condition of knowledge, |
Tx:9.59 | is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and will | conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain |
Tx:10.2 | would you say to someone who really believed this question involves | conflict? If you made the ego, how can the ego have made you? The |
Tx:10.2 | made you? The authority problem remains the only source of perceived | conflict, because the ego was made out of the wish of God's Son to |
Tx:10.13 | In this interpretation, it is possible for God's Will and yours to | conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what you do not want to |
Tx:10.23 | His peace surrounds you silently. God is very quiet, for there is no | conflict in Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind, |
Tx:10.23 | you silently. God is very quiet, for there is no conflict in Him. | Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind, it does not see |
Tx:10.44 | because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike itself. The real | conflict you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and |
Tx:10.44 | idle wishes and the Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real | conflict? |
Tx:10.45 | itself. But do not be deceived by its interpretation of your | conflict. |
Tx:11.7 | There is but one response to reality, for reality evokes no | conflict at all. There is but one Teacher of reality, Who understands |
Tx:11.30 | mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his mind, but an internal | conflict of this magnitude he cannot tolerate. A split mind is |
Tx:13.35 | and harsh intrusion of guilt on peace. Yet no one sees himself in | conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he believes that both |
Tx:13.65 | and only in your guiltlessness can you be happy. There is no | conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in any form, will lose |
Tx:14.10 | There is no unity of learning goals apart from this. There is no | conflict in this curriculum, which has one aim however it is taught. |
Tx:14.21 | its interpreter is not its maker. You who made it are but expressing | conflict, from which the Holy Spirit would release you. Leave what |
Tx:14.48 | lack of competition among your thoughts, which, even though they may | conflict, can occur to you together and in great numbers. You are so |
Tx:15.55 | have no need except to extend it. In the holy instant, there is no | conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the holy instant |
Tx:15.56 | all relationships are seen as total commitments, yet they do not | conflict with one another in any way. Perfect faith in each one for |
Tx:15.60 | Herein lies peace, for here there is no | conflict. In the world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is |
Tx:15.104 | within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived | conflict of Heaven and hell in him by casting Heaven out and giving |
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:16.24 | Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there. And the seeming | conflict between truth and illusion can only be resolved by |
Tx:16.26 | You are not two selves in | conflict. What is beyond God? If you who hold Him and whom He holds |
Tx:16.31 | The symbols of hate against the symbols of love play out a | conflict which does not exist. For symbols stand for something else, |
Tx:16.34 | which remains possible is which illusion you prefer. There is no | conflict in the choice between truth and illusion. Seen in these |
Tx:16.34 | truth and illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But | conflict enters the instant the choice seems to be one between |
Tx:17.20 | transformed past is made like the present. No longer does the past | conflict with now. This continuity extends the present by increasing |
Tx:17.35 | the picture. What you value is the frame, for there you see no | conflict. Yet the frame is only the wrapping for the gift of |
Tx:17.35 | see no conflict. Yet the frame is only the wrapping for the gift of | conflict. The frame is not the gift. Be not deceived by the most |
Tx:17.46 | of its inappropriateness for meeting its new purpose. The | conflict between the goal and the structure of the relationship is so |
Tx:17.46 | this happy solution is seen and accepted as the only way out of the | conflict, the relationship seems to be severely strained. |
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:23.17 | of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. Illusions can | conflict because their forms are different. And they do battle only |
Tx:23.18 | Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to share itself. | Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one abides the other cannot |
Tx:23.23 | of opposition, just as the separate aspects of the Son meet only to | conflict but not to join. One becomes weak, the other strong by his |
Tx:23.25 | seems to be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And now is | conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now |
Tx:23.37 | what is not in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the | conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and beyond all |
Tx:23.38 | The laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their forms | conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the |
Tx:23.46 | Mistake not truce for peace, nor compromise for the escape from | conflict. To be released from conflict means that it is over. The |
Tx:23.46 | nor compromise for the escape from conflict. To be released from | conflict means that it is over. The door is open; you have left the |
Tx:23.46 | safety? Can guilt be absent from a battlefield? [Do not remain in | conflict, for there is no war without attack.] |
Tx:23.47 | wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot | conflict. You are not asked to fight against your wish to murder. But |
Tx:23.55 | apparent from the quiet sphere above the battleground. What can | conflict with everything? And what is there that offers less, yet |
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:27.45 | The fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does not mean the | conflict must be gone forever from your mind. For if it were, there'd |
Tx:27.46 | into this world as witness to a state of mind which has transcended | conflict and has reached to peace. It carries comfort from the place |
Tx:30.24 | readiness for asking brought to your awareness, for you cannot be in | conflict when you ask for what you want and see that it is this for |

W1:74.1 | this, you have recognized that your will is His. The belief that | conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the strange idea |
W1:74.2 | true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without illusions, | conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today and |
W1:74.4 | There is no will but God's. I cannot be in | conflict. |
W1:74.7 | During this introductory phase, be sure to deal quickly with any | conflict thoughts that may cross your mind. Tell yourself immediately: |
W1:74.8 | There is no will but God's. These | conflict thoughts are meaningless. |
W1:74.9 | If there is one | conflict area which seems particularly difficult to resolve, single |

W1:80.5 | that your problems have been solved. Recognize that you are out of | conflict, free, and at peace. Above all, remember that you have one |
W1:83.2 | but the one God gave me. This recognition releases me from all | conflict because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one |
W1:96.1 | of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant | conflict and leads to frantic attempts to reconcile the contradictory |

W1:99.1 | of the impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of | conflict now between what is and what could never be. |
W1:131.9 | God does not suffer | conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How could it be His Son |
W1:138.7 | die. And thus salvation must be seen as death, for life is seen as | conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your life as well. |

W2:331.1 | Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that can conflict with Yours. | Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, |

M:4.11 | with themselves. Therefore it is impossible for them to be in | conflict with anyone or anything. |
M:4.12 | that makes for war. No one at one with himself can even conceive of | conflict. Conflict is the inevitable result of self-deception, and |
M:4.12 | for war. No one at one with himself can even conceive of conflict. | Conflict is the inevitable result of self-deception, and |

M:19.2 | justice includes nothing that opposes truth. There is no inherent | conflict between justice and truth; one is but the first small step |

Tx:4.94 | It should be clear by now that, while the | content of any particular ego-illusion does not matter, it is usually |
Tx:4.101 | others. This cannot be done with the actual revelation because its | content cannot be expressed, and it is intensely personal to the mind |

Tx:15.23 | accept it gladly, that there is no form of littleness that can ever | content you. You are free to try as many as you wish, but all you |
Tx:15.23 | all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you will be | content only in magnitude, which is your home. |

Tx:18.34 | remain content with littleness. But it does require that you be not | content with less than greatness, which comes not of you. Your |
Tx:18.77 | love is the glorious whole, which offers all its happiness and deep | content to every part. The little aspect which you think you set |
Tx:21.82 | In | content, all the questions are the same. For each one asks if you are |
Tx:23.34 | could compel belief but for the emphasis on form and disregard of | content. No one who thinks that one of them is true sees what it |

Tx:23.36 | Yet you believe them for the form they take and do not recognize the | content. It never changes. Can you paint rosy lips upon a skeleton, |
Tx:23.36 | loveliness, pet it and pamper it, and make it live? And can you be | content with an illusion that you are living? |
Tx:23.37 | as an eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their | content is never true. |

Tx:26.15 | will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be | content until it is received by everyone. For what you give to Him is |
Tx:26.45 | friendship worthy of God's Son, nor one with which he could remain | content. Yet God has given him a better Friend in Whom all power in |
Tx:26.61 | to other forms. And this is not release. God's Son could never be | content with less than full salvation and escape from guilt. For |
Tx:26.74 | not its effects apparent then? Why in the future? And you seek to be | content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it |
Tx:26.76 | Be not | content with future happiness. It has no meaning and is not your just |

Tx:28.22 | The miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its | content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with |
Tx:29.60 | No idol can establish you as more than God. But you will never be | content with being less. |
Tx:29.69 | fear in any form—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep | content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you— |
Tx:30.38 | will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no form nor is | content for its expression in the terms of form. Idols are limits. |
Tx:30.39 | never be your will because what shares in all creation cannot be | content with small ideas and little things. |
Tx:30.42 | cannot be denied. Your will is granted. Not in any form that would | content you not, but in the whole completely lovely Thought God holds |
Tx:30.65 | have you sought here that did not bring you pain? What moment of | content has not been bought at fearful price in coins of suffering? |
Tx:31.56 | more than the escape from concepts. It does not concern itself with | content of the mind, but with the simple statement that it thinks. |
Tx:31.69 | not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful form, with | content still concealed, to shake your sorry concept of yourself and |
Tx:31.94 | God has ordained I cannot call in vain, and in His certainty I rest | content. For you will hear, and you will choose again. And in this |
W1:64.6 | deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of | content. It is impossible that any decision on earth can have a |

Tx:12.67 | the world of dreams, where all perception is. Knowledge needs no | correction. Yet the dreams of love lead unto knowledge. In them you |
Tx:16.57 | fantasy. Yet for every learning that would hurt you, God offers you | correction and complete escape from all its consequences. The |
Tx:19.17 | of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment as error for | correction, and the belief that punishment is correction is clearly |
Tx:19.17 | as error for correction, and the belief that punishment is | correction is clearly insane. |
Tx:19.24 | entirely correctable, and so easily escaped from that its whole | correction is like walking through a mist into the sun? For that is |
Tx:19.28 | Mistakes are for | correction, and they call for nothing else. What calls for punishment |
Tx:19.28 | recognition of the difference between time and eternity. And when | correction is completed, time is eternity. |
Tx:19.34 | invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly given to | correction to be healed, not hidden. You will be healed of sin and |
Tx:19.70 | not sinned, but you have been mistaken in what is faithful. And the | correction of your mistake will give you grounds for faith. |
Tx:21.18 | what is strong enough to make a world can let it go and can accept | correction if it is willing to see that it was wrong. |
Tx:21.59 | Reason cannot see sin but can see errors and leads to their | correction. It does not value them, but their correction. Reason will |
Tx:21.59 | and leads to their correction. It does not value them, but their | correction. Reason will also tell you when you think you sin, you |
Tx:21.59 | of any kind deceives you about the power that is in you to make | correction. If it can correct and you allow it not to do so, you deny |
Tx:21.59 | you could spare him and yourself. For reason would not make way for | correction in you alone. |
Tx:21.60 | Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your brother. | |
Tx:21.65 | you, in just an instant. And any instant serves to bring complete | correction of his errors and make him whole. The instant that you |
Tx:22.8 | sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from | correction, for the attraction of guilt is only fear. Here is the one |
Tx:22.30 | and reason will be unable to see your errors and make way for their | correction. For reason sees through errors, telling you what you |
Tx:22.30 | can see the difference between sin and mistakes because it wants | correction. Therefore, it tells you what you thought was |
Tx:22.30 | and thus it must have been an error. The ego's opposition to | correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of errors. |
Tx:22.33 | If what the form conceals is a mistake, the form cannot prevent | correction. The body's eyes see only form. They cannot see beyond |
Tx:22.37 | it is—a common state of mind, where both give errors gladly to | correction that both may happily be healed as one. |

Tx:26.12 | This one mistake in any form has one | correction. There is no loss; to think there is, is a mistake. You |

Tx:26.52 | Sin is not error, for it goes beyond | correction to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real has made |
Tx:26.71 | if you fear, there is a present cause. And it is this that needs | correction, not a future state. |
Tx:26.72 | overlooked but which is all there is to time. The working out of all | correction takes no time at all. |
Tx:27.22 | lose the function of forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns | correction is but to forgive and never to accuse. Alone, you cannot |
Tx:27.22 | to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the same, and therefore is | correction not of you. Identity and function are the same, and by |
Tx:27.23 | function unified which has conflicting purposes and different ends. | Correction, to a mind so split, must be a way to punish sins you |
Tx:27.23 | different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in need of your | correction as the one more innocent than he. This splits his function |
Tx:27.24 | because that is the function given it by you. When you perceive | correction is the same as pardon, then you also know the Holy |
Tx:27.25 | is all of it. Your brother's sins become the central target for | correction, lest your errors and his own be seen as one. Yours are |
Tx:27.26 | In this interpretation of | correction, your own mistakes you will not even see. The focus of |
Tx:27.26 | of correction, your own mistakes you will not even see. The focus of | correction has been placed outside yourself on one who cannot be a |

W1:12.1 | The importance of this idea lies in the fact that it contains a | correction for a major perceptual distortion. You think that what |

W1:103.6 | Allow this one | correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour today. Then |

Tx:12.7 | This | course has explicitly stated that its goal for you is happiness and |

Tx:16.24 | This is a | course in how to know yourself. You have taught what you are but have |

Tx:19.83 | What better way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a | course on miracles than by showing you the one which seems to be the |

Tx:20.58 | And this produces great discomfort. This need not be. This | course requires almost nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine |
Tx:21.5 | you would deny. Your question is whether the means by which this | course is learned will bring to you the joy it promises. If you |
Tx:21.13 | We have repeated how little is asked of you to learn this | course. It is the same small willingness you need to have your whole |
Tx:21.77 | problem. But what you want to see must be your choice. This is a | course in cause and not effect. |
Tx:22.7 | and as not you, explains its sight to you. Your vision would, of | course, render this quite unnecessary. Yet if your eyes are closed |
Tx:22.10 | Of all the messages you have received and failed to understand, this | course alone is open to your understanding and can be understood. |
Tx:22.21 | This is a crucial period in this | course, for here the separation of you and the ego must be made |
Tx:22.22 | savior or his judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This | course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true |
Tx:22.30 | ego's whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this | course. Share this belief, and reason will be unable to see your |
Tx:23.26 | you to find escape from what it wants. That is the function of this | course, which does not value what the ego cherishes. |
Tx:23.44 | This | course is easy just because it makes no compromise. Yet it seems |

Tx:25.82 | The principle that justice means no one can lose is crucial to this | course. For miracles depend on justice. Not as it is seen through |
Tx:26.22 | they are not the same? This difference is the learning goal this | course has set. It will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is |
Tx:26.30 | that miracles are all the same. Yet teaching that is what this | course is for. This is its only purpose, for only that is all there |

Tx:31.39 | makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to find this | course to be too difficult to learn, let me repeat that to achieve a |
Tx:31.39 | to be found. If this be difficult to understand, then is this | course impossible to learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a |

W1:71.1 | in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of | course. Yet after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, |
W1:94.11 | release and a milestone in learning the thought system which this | course sets forth. |

W1:R3.1 | are urged to follow just as closely as you can. We understand, of | course, that it may be impossible for you to undertake what is |
W1:126.1 | thinking of the world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this | course will bring about. If you believed this statement, there would |

W1:132.7 | There is no world! This is the central thought the | course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and |
W1:132.8 | yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some will find it in this | course and in the exercises that we do today. |
W1:133.2 | as valued by the world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This | course does not attempt to take from you the little that you have. It |
W1:134.1 | a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this | course appear to rest salvation on a whim. |
W1:135.16 | idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future | course. |
W1:138.5 | is beyond the goals we seek to teach within the framework of this | course. Ours are teaching goals to be attained through learning how |

W1:167.3 | if change occurs. Ideas leave not their source. The emphasis this | course has placed on that idea is due to its centrality in our |
W1:169.3 | final step must go beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this | course aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open |
W1:169.10 | salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful relationships, the | course it runs directed, and its outcome sure. |
W1:170.10 | think that fear is the escape from fear. Let us remember what the | course has stressed about the obstacles to peace. The final one, the |
W1:R5.1 | and doubts have made us walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this | course sets forth. But now we hasten on, for we approach a greater |
W1:R5.7 | from dust to life as we remember This is promised us, and that this | course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and teach us, |

W1:199.3 | It is essential for your progress in this | course that you accept today's idea and hold it very dear. Be not |

M:16.3 | the workbook, since we are learning within the framework of our | course. After completion of the more structured practice periods |
M:16.4 | This | course is always practical. It may be that the teacher of God is not |

M:24.3 | merely limit his usefulness as well as his own decision-making. Our | course is not concerned with any concept that is not acceptable to |

M:24.4 | It cannot be too strongly emphasized that this | course aims at a complete reversal of thought. When this is finally |

Tx:1.105 | Child of God, you were created to | create the good, the beautiful, and the holy. Do not lose sight of |
Tx:2.3 | health and mental illness. We have already observed that man can | create an empty shell, but he cannot create nothing at all. This |
Tx:2.3 | already observed that man can create an empty shell, but he cannot | create nothing at all. This emptiness provides the screen for the |
Tx:2.5 | He created, and He also imbued them with the same loving will to | create. The Soul has not only been fully created but has also been |
Tx:2.10 | Fourth, the idea that since man can | create himself, the direction of his own creation is up to him is |
Tx:2.24 | use had not been sufficiently understood as yet. They can indeed | create man's perception both of himself and of the world. They can |
Tx:2.53 | is only because it is responding to mis-thought. The body cannot | create, and the belief that it can, a fundamental error, produces all |
Tx:2.54 | that the mind, which is the only level of creation, cannot | create beyond itself, neither type of confusion need occur. |
Tx:2.55 | The reason only the mind can | create is more obvious than may be immediately apparent. The Soul has |
Tx:2.61 | It is essential to remember that only the mind can | create. Implicit in this is the corollary that correction belongs at |
Tx:2.105 | correct his magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not | create himself. He is apt to forget this when he becomes egocentric, |
Tx:2.105 | belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His will to | create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing the same |
Tx:3.7 | error and an affirmation of the truth. Only right-mindedness can | create in a way that has any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no |
Tx:3.15 | conscience” from the past has nothing to do with God. He did not | create it, and He does not maintain it. God does not believe in |
Tx:3.15 | God does not believe in karmic retribution. His Divine Mind does not | create that way. He does not hold the evil deeds of a man even |
Tx:3.37 | accept His certainty.” There are no strangers in His creation. To | create as He created, you can create only what you know and accept as |
Tx:3.37 | are no strangers in His creation. To create as He created, you can | create only what you know and accept as yours. God knows His Children |
Tx:3.38 | of knowledge, because he can perceive lovelessly. He cannot | create surely, because his perception deceives [and illusions are not |
Tx:3.42 | cannot escape from fear until he knows that he did not and could not | create himself. He can never make his misperceptions valid. His |
Tx:3.45 | The mind chose to divide itself when it willed to | create both its own levels and the ability to perceive, but it could |
Tx:3.45 | Soul because it is from the Soul that it derives its whole power to | create. Even in miscreation will is affirming its Source or it would |
Tx:3.53 | The confusion between your own creation and what you | create is so profound that it has become literally impossible for you |
Tx:3.57 | “thought” and “likeness” is taken as “of a like quality.” God did | create the Soul in His own Thought and of a quality like to His own. |
Tx:3.76 | by its weakness and explained by a tendency of the self to | create an image of itself. Its fear aspect is often ascribed to fear |
Tx:3.77 | one thing that is literally inconceivable. That is why you cannot | create and are filled with fear about what you make. |
Tx:4.14 | except in delusions. Your ego is never at stake because God did not | create it. Your Soul is never at stake because He did. Any confusion |
Tx:4.16 | is not the author of fear. You are. You have chosen, therefore, to | create unlike Him, and you have made fear for yourselves. You are not |
Tx:4.34 | in ego terms must be a delusion. The creations of God do not | create myths, although the creative efforts of man can turn to |
Tx:4.41 | The Kingdom of Heaven is you. What else but you did the Creator | create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the whole |
Tx:4.42 | You too have a kingdom which your Soul created. It has not ceased to | create because your ego has set you on the road of perception. Your |
Tx:4.99 | are irrelevant because real creation gives everything, since it can | create only like itself. Remember that in being there is no |
Tx:5.23 | Freedom to choose is the same power as freedom to | create, but its application is different. Choosing means divided |
Tx:5.57 | The Atonement gives you the power of a healed mind, but the power to | create is of God. Therefore, those who have been forgiven must devote |
Tx:5.57 | The joint will of all the Sonship is the only creator that can | create like the Father, because only the complete can think |
Tx:5.59 | the Kingdom is attained through the Atonement, which releases you to | create. The word “create” is appropriate here because, once what you |
Tx:5.70 | What you will, you expect. This is not delusional. Your mind does | create your future, and it can turn it back to full creation at any |
Tx:6.32 | by the Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to | create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know of its wholeness. |
Tx:6.80 | nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire wholly is to | create, and creating cannot be difficult if God Himself created you |
Tx:6.88 | Choosing through the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You | create by what you are, but this is what you must learn. The way to |
Tx:7.1 | in which you share, and because you share it, you are inspired to | create like God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation |
Tx:7.1 | in reciprocal relation to God, since He created you, but you did not | create Him. We have already said that only in this respect your |
Tx:7.3 | in God. You are part of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To | create is to love. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be |
Tx:7.3 | He has always been. Your creations have always been, because you can | create only as God creates. Eternity is yours, because He created you |
Tx:7.4 | to limit giving, and this is not God's Will. To will with God is to | create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any way. You are His |
Tx:7.6 | To think like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to | create like Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To |
Tx:7.14 | God Himself created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who | create like Him, follow it gladly, knowing that the increase of the |
Tx:7.40 | the impulse to communicate because it is also the impulse to | create, the ego can only teach you that the body can both communicate |
Tx:7.40 | the ego can only teach you that the body can both communicate and | create and therefore does not need the mind. The ego thus tries to |
Tx:7.54 | at all. Fear and love are equally reciprocal. They make or | create, depending on whether the ego or the Holy Spirit begets or |
Tx:7.67 | attack your thought system and divide your allegiance. You cannot | create in this divided state, and you must be vigilant against this |
Tx:7.82 | and therefore one which always operates. It is the law by which you | create and were created. It is the law which unifies the Kingdom and |
Tx:7.93 | its being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is to | create. It does not wish to contain God but to extend His Being. The |
Tx:7.93 | and that is why you perceive yourselves as unfulfilled. Unless you | create, you are unfulfilled; but God does not know of unfulfillment, |
Tx:7.93 | but God does not know of unfulfillment, and therefore you must | create. You may not know your own creations, but this can no more |
Tx:7.112 | worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the whole Sonship can | create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by recognizing his |
Tx:7.112 | brother by recognizing his worth, you are acknowledging his power to | create and yours. He cannot have lost what you recognize, and you |
Tx:8.43 | but because nothing else is worthy of him. What God and His Sons | create is eternal, and in this and this only is their joy. |
Tx:8.47 | who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to | create. Your will was not created separate from His, and so it wills |
Tx:8.49 | be alone. That is why He created His Son and gave him the power to | create with Him. |
Tx:8.104 | created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you will not | create. Opposing orders of reality make reality meaningless, and |
Tx:9.8 | time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the function to | create in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to |
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:9.67 | the instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to | create, you will have willed away the separation, returning your mind |
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 | by nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not | create them. You cannot make creators who are unlike your Creator any |
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:18.57 | Himself from His Son to make this possible. He would have had to | create different things and to establish different orders of reality, |
Tx:18.58 | this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a body, and did He | create you as He is not and where He cannot be? You are surrounded |
Tx:18.94 | is not the end. Forgiveness does make lovely, but it does not | create. It is the source of healing, but it is the messenger of love |
Tx:21.25 | its maker thinks 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 |
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:21.27 | It is the Source of his creating. Apart from this he has no power to | create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing in |
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:28.47 | exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might | create. |
Tx:29.23 | freedom is it given unto you. Make way for love, which you did not | create, but which you can extend. On earth this means forgive your |
Tx:30.60 | The final step is God's because it is but God Who could | create a perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one |
Tx:30.62 | and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not | create His Son again that what is his be given back to him. The gap |
Tx:31.79 | you. For vision can but represent a wish, because it has no power to | create. Yet it can look with love or look with hate, depending only |
W1:14.1 | the reason why a meaningless world is impossible. What God did not | create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He |
W1:14.4 | each one as it occurs to you, and then deny its reality. God did not | create it, and so it is not real. Say, for example: |
W1:14.5 | God did not | create that war, and so it is not real. God did not create that |
W1:14.5 | God did not create that war, and so it is not real. God did not | create that airplane crash, and so it is not real. God did not create |
W1:14.5 | not create that airplane crash, and so it is not real. God did not | create that disaster [specify], and so it is not real. |
W1:14.6 | Do not use general terms. For example, do not say, “God did not | create illness,” but, “God did not create cancer,” or heart attacks, |
W1:14.6 | example, do not say, “God did not create illness,” but, “God did not | create cancer,” or heart attacks, or whatever may arouse fear in you. |
W1:14.7 | are part of your personal hell. It does not matter. What God did not | create can only be in your own mind apart from His. Therefore, it has |
W1:14.8 | God did not | create a meaningless world. |
W1:14.10 | God did not | create a meaningless world. He did not create [specify the situation |
W1:14.10 | God did not create a meaningless world. He did not | create [specify the situation which is disturbing you], and so it is |
W1:16.1 | or weak. They are merely true or false. Those which are true | create their own likeness. Those which are false make theirs. |
W1:53.5 | [14] God did not | create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world exist if God |
W1:53.5 | meaningless world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not | create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is |
W1:73.3 | created by the will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God | create disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. |
W1:73.3 | for His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God | create a world that kills Himself? |
W1:84.4 | As I look on this, let me remember my Creator. My Creator did not | create this as I see it. |
W1:132.12 | and love. Are these inherent in the world you see? Does it | create like Him? Unless it does, it is not real and cannot be at all. |
W1:186.9 | Is this the Son of God? Could He | create such instability and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares |
W2:276.1 | Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His Son did not | create with Him because in this His Son was born. Let us accept His |
W2:294.1 | I am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God | create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God's beloved Son for |
W2:WICR.2 | Thus His Son shares in creation and must therefore share in power to | create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when |
W2:326.1 | Let me know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to | create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I |
W2:WIM.1 | A miracle is a correction. It does not | create nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation and |
M:20.5 | which God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did not | create is real. In this one sentence is our course explained. In this |

Tx:1.87 | Man was not | created by his own free will alone. Only what he creates is his to |

Tx:2.5 | God projected His creative ability from Himself to the Souls He | created, and He also imbued them with the same loving will to create. |

Tx:2.20 | God and the Souls He | created are completely dependent on each other. The creation of the |
Tx:2.20 | been perfectly accomplished, but the creation by Souls has not. God | created Souls so He could depend on them because He created them |
Tx:2.20 | has not. God created Souls so He could depend on them because He | created them perfectly. He gave them His peace so they could not be |
Tx:2.21 | afraid of God's Will because you have used your own will, which He | created in the likeness of His own, to miscreate. What you do not |
Tx:2.47 | is only a matter of time. In fact, both time and matter were | created for this purpose. This appears to contradict free will |
Tx:2.51 | This is because of the inestimable value of the altar itself. It was | created perfect and is entirely worthy of receiving perfection. God |
Tx:2.54 | illness represents a belief in magic. The whole distortion which | created magic rests on the belief that there is a creative ability in |

Tx:2.57 | It was the first level of the error to believe that the body | created its own illness. It is a second misstep to attempt to heal it |

Tx:2.111 | however, apply it meaningfully and at any time to everything he has | created and retain in his memory only what is good. This is what his |

Tx:3.5 | 2. Clear distinction between what has been created and what is being | created is essential. All forms of correction (or healing) rest on |
Tx:3.37 | certainty.” There are no strangers in His creation. To create as He | created, you can create only what you know and accept as yours. God |
Tx:3.37 | accept as yours. God knows His Children with perfect certainty. He | created them by knowing them. He recognized them perfectly. When they |
Tx:3.38 | the levels of the Trinity are capable of unity. The levels which man | created by the separation cannot but conflict. This is because they |
Tx:3.41 | the questioning compartment in the post-separation psyche which man | created for himself. It is capable of asking valid questions but not |
Tx:3.45 | to be. This is impossible because it is part of the Soul which God | created and which is therefore eternal. |
Tx:3.48 | God and the Souls He | created remain in surety, and therefore know that no miscreation |
Tx:3.53 | human beings are not. Nevertheless, they are perfectly stable as God | created them. In this sense, when their behavior is unstable they are |
Tx:3.57 | “God | created man in His own image and likeness” is correct in meaning, but |
Tx:3.67 | it sounds meaningful to consider the possibility that they must have | created themselves. |
Tx:3.68 | position, it is in one sense more tenable than the view that they | created themselves. At least it acknowledges the fact that some true |
Tx:3.73 | in combat with God, battling Him for possession of the Souls He | created. He deceives by lies and builds kingdoms of his own in which |
Tx:3.75 | which was forbidden was named the “tree of knowledge.” Yet God | created knowledge and gave it freely to His creations. The symbolism |
Tx:3.80 | truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was | created and for whom it waits. |
Tx:4.17 | only to God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls He | created. |
Tx:4.42 | You too have a kingdom which your Soul | created. It has not ceased to create because your ego has set you on |
Tx:4.52 | will be unable to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father | created us. I will love you and honor you and maintain complete |
Tx:4.57 | be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul that God | created and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. |
Tx:4.66 | over part of the minds of men and the healing of the mind. I was | created like you in the first, and I have called you to join with me |
Tx:4.68 | that life is an eternal attribute of everything that the living God | created. Why do you believe it is harder for me to inspire the |
Tx:4.90 | you are grateful to each other, you are grateful to God for what He | created. Through your gratitude, you can come to know each other, and |
Tx:4.96 | what is true. It knows that what is true is everything that God | created. It is in complete and direct communication with every aspect |
Tx:4.97 | is the Will of God. Creation and communication are synonymous. God | created every mind by communicating His Mind to it, thus establishing |
Tx:4.97 | not subject to any judgment, any exception, or any alteration. God | created you by this and for this. The mind can distort its function, |
Tx:4.99 | God, Who encompasses all being, nevertheless | created beings who have everything individually but who want to share |
Tx:4.99 | is real can be increased except by sharing. That is why God Himself | created you. Divine Abstraction takes joy in application, and that is |
Tx:4.100 | when His channels are closed, and He is lonely when the minds He | created do not communicate fully with Him. |
Tx:5.5 | Soul holds everything by giving it and thus creates as the Father | created. |
Tx:5.27 | My mind will always be like yours, because we were | created as equals. It was only my decision that gave me all power in |
Tx:5.29 | whole Sonship and to bring it back into the Oneness in which it was | created. Remember that “yoke” means “join together” and “burden” |
Tx:5.46 | but entirely within your grasp. It belongs to you because you | created it. It is yours because it is a part of you, just as you are |
Tx:5.46 | because it is a part of you, just as you are part of God because He | created you. |
Tx:5.47 | Spirit, the Voice for creation. Nothing that is not good was ever | created and therefore cannot be protected. What the ego makes, it |
Tx:5.52 | The mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind | created by God, because God's Wholeness is the wholeness of His 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:21.28 | delusion that you are independent of the Source by which you were | created and have never left. |
Tx:22.28 | to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God | created it for you. Look on your holy brother, sinless as yourself, |
Tx:22.48 | Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or everything that God | created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the Will of |
Tx:23.13 | What you remember is a part of you. For you must be as God | created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions |
Tx:23.14 | each other. And this occurs whenever you look on anything that God | created with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the |
Tx:23.37 | There is no life outside of Heaven. Where God | created life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven, |
Tx:23.53 | not perceived. The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He | created for His Son because it has no purpose. |
Tx:24.6 | What God | created cannot be attacked, for there is nothing in the universe |
Tx:24.8 | will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father | created him like you. There is no difference. You have been given to |
Tx:24.14 | and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which | created them as one with Him. They chose their specialness instead of |
Tx:24.25 | an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God | created you. |
Tx:24.27 | you separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what God | created not. And yet this idol that seems to give you power has taken |
Tx:24.49 | For in him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that He | created you as part of Him. |
Tx:24.51 | Nothing is lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that God | created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever. |
Tx:24.51 | in eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your brother is as He | created him. And it is this that saves you from a world that He |
Tx:24.51 | He created him. And it is this that saves you from a world that He | created not. |
Tx:24.63 | is within your brother still contains all of creation, everything | created and creating, born and unborn as yet, still in the future or |
Tx:24.66 | The Father keeps what He | created safe. You cannot touch it with the false ideas you made |
Tx:24.66 | You cannot touch it with the false ideas you made because it was | created not by you. Let not your foolish fancies frighten you. What |
Tx:24.68 | with the Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been | created like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and |
Tx:25.16 | it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what God has | created needs no frame, for what He has created He supports and |
Tx:25.16 | in any way. Yet what God has created needs no frame, for what He has | created He supports and frames within Himself. His masterpiece He |
Tx:25.21 | Will and yours, who but extend His Will. It was for this you were | created and your brother with you and at one with you. |
Tx:25.24 | to a world perception rules, for such a world could not have been | created by the Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His |
Tx:25.26 | the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as God | created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God |
Tx:25.36 | of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it was | created as his only home? Nothing before and nothing after it. No |
Tx:25.42 | himself is God believed to be without the power to save what He | created from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is |
Tx:25.50 | thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God | created not should share the attributes of His creation when it |
Tx:25.53 | thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought | created him. And if he chooses to believe one thought opposed to |
Tx:26.17 | that everything that is belongs to Him and will forever be as He | created it. Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. |
Tx:26.17 | Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave when He | created you in perfect love. |
Tx:26.27 | is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise by everything | created to the Source of its creation? The holiest of altars is set |
Tx:26.40 | The Son that God | created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the instant that |
Tx:26.40 | The Son that God created is as free as God | created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead |
Tx:26.57 | He wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He | created him as everything. It is impossible that anything be lost if |
Tx:26.60 | separate. God wills you learn what always has been true—that He | created you as part of Him, and this must still be true because ideas |
Tx:26.62 | be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was | created, and thus will it ever be. |
Tx:26.65 | as He would have it used is natural. It is not arrogant to be as He | created you or to make use of what He gave to answer all His Son's |
Tx:26.84 | temple of the Living God rebuilt as host again to Him by Whom it was | created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never separate. |
Tx:28.16 | he is God's Son that he must also be a father who creates as God | created him. The circle of creation has no end. Its starting and its |
Tx:28.33 | [sin] He cannot bridge, for He cannot destroy the alien will that He | created not. Let its effects be gone and clutch them not with eager |
Tx:28.51 | What is there God | created to be sick? And what that He created not can be? Let not your |
Tx:28.51 | What is there God created to be sick? And what that He | created not can be? Let not your eyes behold a dream, your ears bear |
Tx:29.21 | Think you the Father lost Himself when He | created you? Was He made weak because He shared His love? Was He made |
Tx:29.21 | truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light | created in the dark, where God still shines. |
Tx:29.33 | love for you, the soft reminder of his Father's love by which he was | created and which still abides in him, as it abides in you. Be very |
Tx:29.33 | God's Voice in him and let It tell you what his function is. He was | created that you might be whole, for only the complete can be a part |
Tx:29.33 | for only the complete can be a part of God's completion, Which | created you. |
Tx:29.35 | unto his Father's house. Would you not want to be a friend to him, | created by his Father as His home? If God esteems him worthy of |
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 |
Tx:30.35 | has created you and through your will created everything. Not one | created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it |
Tx:30.42 | any form and limited to what is not in him, he would not be as God | created him. What idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a |
Tx:30.57 | the dream of fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all things | created as they really are. And it is recognized that all things must |
Tx:31.9 | is innocent can He be Love. For God were fear indeed if he whom He | created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son |
Tx:31.64 | not done at all. What could there be within the universe which God | created that must still be done? |
Tx:31.87 | to veil the truth. [He would remove all misery from you, whom God | created altars unto joy.] He would not leave you comfortless, alone |
Tx:31.87 | real in you. His strength is yours because He is the Self that God | created as His only Son. |
Tx:31.90 | I am as God | created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son. |
Tx:31.92 | You are as God | created you, and so is every living thing you look upon, regardless |
W1:14.1 | create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He | created it. The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is |
W1:38.2 | in its power to save anyone. If you are holy, so is everything God | created. You are holy because all things He created are holy. And all |
W1:38.2 | so is everything God created. You are holy because all things He | created are holy. And all things He created are holy because you are. |
W1:38.2 | are holy because all things He created are holy. And all things He | created are holy because you are. |
W1:43.1 | not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has | created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and |
W1:53.5 | that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too because He | created it with me. Why should I continue to suffer from the effects |
W1:55.2 | but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be what God | created for His beloved Son. The very fact that I see such things is |
W1:57.3 | I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God | created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where God would |
W1:61.1 | with which you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were | created by God. It simply states the truth. |
W1:67.3 | Holiness | created me holy. Kindness created me kind. Helpfulness created me |
W1:67.3 | Holiness created me holy. Kindness | created me kind. Helpfulness created me helpful. Perfection created |
W1:67.3 | Holiness created me holy. Kindness created me kind. Helpfulness | created me helpful. Perfection created me perfect. |
W1:67.3 | Kindness created me kind. Helpfulness created me helpful. Perfection | created me perfect. |
W1:67.5 | and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If Love | created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in |
W1:67.6 | awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love | created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring that |
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 |
W1:76.11 | the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only Son, | created as His channel for creation, denied to Him by his belief in |
W1:84.2 | [67] Love | created me like Itself. I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot |
W1:84.2 | to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love | created me like Itself. |
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 |
W1:96.15 | it will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things | created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things. |
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 |

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. |
W2:253.2 | You are the Self Whom You | created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which |
W2:256.1 | asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God | created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have |
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 |
M:4.17 | try to make themselves. Their joy comes from their understanding Who | created them. And does what God created need defense? No one can |

M:22.7 | he withdraws his judgment from the Son of God, accepting him as God | created him. No longer does he stand apart from God, determining |
M:22.7 | be withheld. Now can he say with God, “This is my beloved Son, | created perfect and forever so.” |
M:23.2 | because he has accepted life. He has recognized himself as God | created him, and in so doing he has recognized all living things as |

M:27.5 | is firmly rooted in the belief that God's Son is a body. And if God | created bodies, death would indeed be real. But God would not be |
M:27.6 | mindless magic, ineffectual and meaningless. God is, and in Him all | created things must be eternal. Do you not see that otherwise He has |
M:28.5 | us free indeed, and we accept His holiness as ours, as it is. As God | created us, so will we be forever and forever, and we wish for |

Tx:1.93 | perfect faith in His creations because He created them. Belief in a | creation produces its existence. That is why a man can believe in |
Tx:1.97 | in by its maker, it does not exist at all at the level of true | creation. |
Tx:1.98 | 53. The miracle compares what man has made with the higher level | creation, accepting what is in accord as true and rejecting the |
Tx:1.105 | unnecessary. Learning to do this is the only real reason for its | creation. |
Tx:2.5 | is a fundamental attribute of God which He gave to His Son. In the | creation, God projected His creative ability from Himself to the |
Tx:2.10 | the idea that since man can create himself, the direction of his own | creation is up to him is implied. |
Tx:2.12 | in the original connotation of the term, included both the proper | creation of man by God and the proper creation by man in his right |
Tx:2.12 | term, included both the proper creation of man by God and the proper | creation by man in his right mind. The latter required the endowment |
Tx:2.12 | the endowment of man by God with free will because all loving | creation is freely given. Nothing in these statements implies any |
Tx:2.12 | level involvement or in fact anything except one continuous line of | creation in which all aspects are of the same order. |
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:2.54 | mind. If it is understood that the mind, which is the only level of | creation, cannot create beyond itself, neither type of confusion need |
Tx:2.75 | except at the mind level. Correction belongs only at the level where | creation is possible. The term does not mean anything at the symptom |
Tx:2.87 | the Atonement was offered. The need for the remedy inspired its | creation. As long as you recognize only the need for the remedy, you |
Tx:2.95 | The vulnerable are essentially miscreators because they misperceive | creation. |
Tx:2.97 | The fundamental opponents in the real basic conflict are | creation and miscreation. All fear is implicit in the second, just as |
Tx:2.100 | a concept of intervals which do not really exist. The faulty use of | creation made this necessary as a corrective device. “And God so |
Tx:2.105 | him by his own Creator, Who was expressing the same will in His | creation. Since creative ability rests in the mind, everything that |
Tx:2.111 | judgment cannot be directed toward himself because he is not his own | creation. He can, however, apply it meaningfully and at any time to |
Tx:3.37 | “Know God and accept His certainty.” There are no strangers in His | creation. To create as He created, you can create only what you know |
Tx:3.42 | not create himself. He can never make his misperceptions valid. His | creation is beyond his own error, and that is why he must eventually |
Tx:3.46 | interpretive function of perception, actually a distorted form of | creation, then permitted man to interpret the body as himself, which, |
Tx:3.53 | The confusion between your own | creation and what you create is so profound that it has become |
Tx:3.53 | behavior is unstable they are disagreeing with God's idea of the | creation. Man can do this if he chooses, but he would hardly want to |
Tx:3.56 | He has lost the knowledge that he himself is a miracle. Miraculous | creation was his Source and also his real function. |
Tx:3.67 | being uncertain of their true Authorship, men believe that their | creation was anonymous. This has left them in a position where it |
Tx:3.77 | bring it to light. You still believe you are images of your own | creation. Your minds are split with your Souls on this point, and |
Tx:3.79 | Your | creation by God is the only foundation which cannot be shaken because |
Tx:4.8 | Man's self and God's Self are in opposition. They are opposed in | creation, in will, and in outcome. They are fundamentally |
Tx:4.9 | how their thought system[s] arose. When I remind you of your true | creation, your egos cannot but respond with fear. |
Tx:4.19 | only of Him. Nothing else is sufficiently worthy to be a gift for a | creation of God Himself. |
Tx:4.65 | that this and only this must be. His Mind shone on you in your | creation and brought your mind into being. His Mind still shines on |
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 |
Tx:4.96 | It is in complete and direct communication with every aspect of | creation because it is in complete and direct communication with its |
Tx:4.97 | This communication is the Will of God. | Creation and communication are synonymous. God created every mind by |
Tx:4.99 | you. Divine Abstraction takes joy in application, and that is what | creation means. “How,” “what,” and “to whom” are irrelevant because |
Tx:4.99 | means. “How,” “what,” and “to whom” are irrelevant because real | creation gives everything, since it can create only like itself. |
Tx:4.100 | which to judge such offerings. But unless you take your part in the | creation, His joy is not complete because yours is incomplete. And |
Tx:5.16 | and leads the mind beyond its own integration into the paths of | creation. |
Tx:5.27 | by giving and is therefore the one act of mind that resembles true | creation. You understand the role of “models” in the learning process |
Tx:5.47 | good is lost because it comes from the Holy Spirit, the Voice for | creation. Nothing that is not good was ever created and therefore |
Tx:5.57 | the idea of healing, they must give it to hold it. The full power of | creation cannot be expressed as long as any of God's ideas withhold |
Tx:5.59 | Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues in | creation. |
Tx:5.70 | Your mind does create your future, and it can turn it back to full | creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It will |
Tx:5.70 | if it accepts the Atonement first. It will also turn back to full | creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its thought |
Tx:5.89 | are in the same position. You were eternally fixated on God in your | creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that you will |
Tx:6.25 | except by a whole mind which recognizes the wholeness of God's | creation and by this recognition knows its Creator. Exclusion and |
Tx:6.51 | The time that was spent on questioning in the dream has given way to | creation and to its eternity. |
Tx:6.88 | will finally liberate your will from choice and direct it towards | creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the Holy Spirit will |
Tx:6.91 | why you must be vigilant on God's behalf. The ego speaks against His | creation and therefore does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond |
Tx:6.95 | It is in the perfect safety of God. Therefore inclusion is total and | creation is without limit. |
Tx:7.1 | because you share it, you are inspired to create like God. Yet in | creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God, since He created |
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. |
W1:45.3 | left. What is thought by the Mind of God is eternal, being part of | creation. |

W1:52.6 | They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my mind is part of | creation and part of its Creator. Would I not rather join the |
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 |

W1:72.8 | 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? |
W2:262.1 | one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one | creation. Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as |
W2:263.1 | to be my choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed | creation—all its purity, its joy, and its eternal, quiet home in |
W2:264.1 | is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your one | creation or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. |
W2:265.1 | alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which | creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my |
W2:268.1 | and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with Your | creation and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be willing to |
W2:271.1 | to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's | creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and |
W2:271.1 | is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's | creation meet, and as they come together, all perception disappears. |
W2:271.1 | on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and | creation unified. |
W2:276.1 | yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our | creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self. |
W2:278.2 | but the truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my | creation and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. Today I would |
W2:283.1 | an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. Yet is | creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. Let me |
W2:283.1 | I call the Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your | creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my Father |
W2:WISC.2 | There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as God's | creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's |
W2:WISC.3 | to the hands of Christ, to be returned to Spirit in the name of true | creation and the Will of God. |
W2:WISC.4 | they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon His Son, His one | creation and His only joy. |
W2:320.1 | his peace, his joy, or any attributes his Father gave in his | creation. What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. |
W2:WICR.1 | Creation is the sum of all God's thoughts, in number infinite and | |
W2:WICR.2 | For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in | creation and must therefore share in power to create. What God has |

W2:WICR.4 | We are | creation—we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete and unaware of |
W2:WICR.5 | Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive | creation in the name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness |

W2:WIM.3 | laid before the Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and | creation, in the light of perfect purity and endless joy. |
W2:342.1 | Let me not wait again today. Let me forgive all things, and let | creation be as You would have it be and as it is. Let me remember |
W2:WAI.1 | and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His | creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love |
W2:359.1 | Father, today we will forgive Your world and let | creation be Your own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have |
M:5.7 | pain forever gone. But with this idea goes also all confusion about | creation. Does not this follow of necessity? Place cause and effect |
M:5.7 | all the effects they seemed to cause. Cause and effect but replicate | creation. Seen in their proper perspective, without distortion and |

Tx:2.63 | mind of the miracle worker or the miracle receiver. However, as a | creative act, the miracle need not await the right-mindedness of the |
Tx:2.65 | for himself. This means that he recognizes that mind is the only | creative level and that its errors are healed by the Atonement. Once |
Tx:2.88 | fully. The mind is a very powerful creator, and it never loses its | creative force. It never sleeps. Every instant it is creating and |
Tx:2.105 | own Creator, Who was expressing the same will in His creation. Since | creative ability rests in the mind, everything that man creates is |
Tx:3.27 | frame of reference. It also has the disastrous effect of denying the | creative power of the miracle. |
Tx:3.35 | perception and cognition. Knowledge brings the mental strength for | creative thinking but not for right doing. Perception, miracles, and |
Tx:3.55 | Methodologically, man's mind has been very | creative but, as always occurs when method and content are separated, |
Tx:3.55 | inescapable impasse. This kind of thinking cannot result in a | creative outcome, although it has resulted in considerable ingenuity. |
Tx:4.34 | a delusion. The creations of God do not create myths, although the | creative efforts of man can turn to mythology. It can do so, however, |
Tx:4.34 | however, only under one condition; what man then makes is no longer | creative. Myths are entirely perceptions and are so ambiguous in form |
Tx:5.22 | must make. In the holy state, the will is free in the sense that its | creative power is unlimited, but choice itself is meaningless. |
Tx:7.1 | The | creative power of both God and His creations is limitless, but they |
Tx:7.1 | not create Him. We have already said that only in this respect your | creative power differs from His. Even in this world there is a |
Tx:7.2 | and He created you, the Kingdom could not increase through its own | creative thought. Creation would therefore be limited, and you would |
Tx:7.2 | be limited, and you would not be co-creators with God. As God's | creative Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your creative |
Tx:7.2 | As God's creative Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your | creative thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this way |
Tx:7.2 | thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this way can all | creative power extend outward. God's accomplishments are not yours. |
Tx:7.91 | Only you can limit your | creative power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to |
Tx:7.112 | glory you see in him. He is a co-creator with God with you. Deny his | creative power, and you are denying yours and that of God, Who |
Tx:10.45 | Yours is the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your whole | creative function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose |

Tx:1.86 | nothing at all. He can wait, delay, paralyze himself, reduce his | creativity to almost nothing, and even introduce a developmental |
Tx:1.86 | developmental arrest or even a regression. But he cannot abolish his | creativity. He can destroy his medium of communication but not his |
Tx:4.40 | highly specific nature of invention is not worthy of the abstract | creativity of God's creations. |

Tx:1.11 | Prayer is the natural communication of the created with the | Creator. Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love |
Tx:1.27 | both. You are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of your | Creator. Everything else is only your own nightmare and does not |
Tx:1.71 | the Atonement itself is one, uniting all creations with their | Creator. |
Tx:1.77 | a greater one. This is the case only when a Soul stands before its | Creator. Souls are perfect creations and experience awe only in the |
Tx:1.77 | are perfect creations and experience awe only in the Presence of the | Creator of perfection. |
Tx:1.93 | made. In attitude, then, though not in content, he resembles his own | Creator, Who has perfect faith in His creations because He created |
Tx:2.5 | perfect. There is no emptiness in it. Because of its likeness to its | Creator, it is creative. No Child of God can lose this ability |
Tx:2.47 | of enormous procrastination. But it cannot depart entirely from its | Creator, Who set the limits on its ability to miscreate by virtue of |
Tx:2.61 | but is not creating. It should be obvious, then, that correcting the | creator or inducing it to give up its miscreations is the only |
Tx:2.88 | he must realize and realize fully. The mind is a very powerful | creator, and it never loses its creative force. It never sleeps. |
Tx:2.105 | is virtually inevitable. His will to create was given him by his own | Creator, Who was expressing the same will in His creation. Since |
Tx:3.2 | emphasized that awe is a proper reaction in the Presence of your | Creator. I have been careful to clarify my own role in the Atonement, |
Tx:3.19 | this, the mind awakens from its sleep and [the Soul] remembers its | Creator. All sense of separation disappears, and level confusion |
Tx:3.40 | man introduced into himself. He became a perceiver rather than a | creator in the true sense. Consciousness is correctly identified as |
Tx:3.48 | body and the power of the mind. By uniting my will with that of my | Creator, I naturally remembered the Soul and its own real purpose. |
Tx:4.41 | unnecessary. The Kingdom of Heaven is you. What else but you did the | Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the |
Tx:4.42 | ego and your Soul will never be co-creators, but your Soul and your | Creator will always be. Be confident that your creations are as safe |
Tx:4.74 | as a product of the mind, it is endowed with the power of its own | creator. However, the decision to do this, rather than the ability to |
Tx:4.96 | creation because it is in complete and direct communication with its | Creator. |
Tx:5.57 | it from the Kingdom. The joint will of all the Sonship is the only | creator that can create like the Father, because only the complete |
Tx:5.81 | in you, speaking for patience towards the Sonship in the name of its | Creator. What you need to learn now is that only infinite patience |
Tx:5.89 | it cannot be surmounted. You are always being pulled back to your | Creator, because you belong to Him. |
Tx:6.25 | the wholeness of God's creation and by this recognition knows its | Creator. Exclusion and separation are synonymous, as are separation |
Tx:6.80 | and creating cannot be difficult if God Himself created you as a | creator. The second step, then, is still perceptual, although it is a |
Tx:7.2 | it. You have the power to add to the Kingdom, but not to add to the | Creator of the Kingdom. You claim this power when you become vigilant |
Tx:7.7 | that He is the first in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the Prime | Creator, because He created His co-creators. Because He did, time |
Tx:7.18 | is God. Because it is also you, you share it and extend it as your | Creator did. This needs no translation, because it is perfectly |
Tx:7.46 | be out of accord with Him. You cannot separate your self from your | Creator, Who created you by sharing His being with you. |
Tx:7.65 | to you. Unless you perceive His creation truly, you cannot know the | Creator, since God and His creation are not separate. The Oneness of |
Tx:7.65 | since God and His creation are not separate. The Oneness of the | Creator and the creation is your wholeness, your sanity, and your |
Tx:7.67 | If you do not extend the Kingdom, you are not thinking with your | Creator and creating as He created. |
Tx:7.69 | the joy in which it was created and identifying itself with both its | Creator and its creations, knowing they are one. |
Tx:7.75 | comes from not extending life, since that is not the Will of your | Creator. You can do nothing apart from Him, and you do do nothing |
Tx:7.79 | Projecting its insane belief that you have been treacherous to your | Creator, it believes that your brothers, who are as incapable of this |
Tx:7.92 | as it is included in God. The power of the whole Sonship and of its | Creator is therefore the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations |
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 |
Tx:7.93 | fullness cannot be contained any more than can the fullness of its | Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego's whole thought system blocks |
Tx:7.112 | You do not know yourselves, because you do not know your | Creator. You do not know your creations, because you do not know your |
Tx:7.112 | truth. You do not know your creations, because you do not know their | creator. You do not know yourselves, because you do not know yours. |
Tx:8.14 | the Will of God, because this is how you were created. Because your | Creator creates only like Himself, you are like Him. You are part of |
Tx:8.15 | This is the natural response of every Son of God to the Voice of his | Creator, because it is the Voice for his creations and for his own |
Tx:8.18 | is perfect creation by the perfectly created in union with Perfect | Creator. The Father must give fatherhood to His Son, because His own |
Tx:8.36 | it is undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect | creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You |
Tx:8.45 | creation. They do not leave you, any more than you have left your | Creator, but they extend your creation as God extended Himself to |
Tx:8.48 | choice does make the Son's function unknown to him, but never to his | Creator. And because it is not unknown to his Creator, it is forever |
Tx:8.48 | him, but never to his Creator. And because it is not unknown to his | Creator, it is forever knowable to him. |
Tx:8.57 | with part of God Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its | Creator through His Voice, which He has established as part of you. |
Tx:8.94 | It is impossible to communicate in alien tongues. You and your | Creator can communicate through creation because that, and only that, |
Tx:9.67 | away the separation, returning your mind simultaneously to your | Creator and your creations. Knowing them, you will have no wish to |
Tx:9.77 | yourself? Or would you remind him of his wholeness and remember your | Creator with him? To believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the |
Tx:9.96 | to joy, because he would not accept the fact that, although he was a | creator, he had been created. Yet the Son is helpless without the |
Tx:9.97 | did not create them. You cannot make creators who are unlike your | Creator any more than He could have created a Son who was unlike Him. |
Tx:9.101 | of suffering. Yet to do this, you must acknowledge Him as your | Creator. This is not because you will be punished otherwise. It is |
Tx:10.27 | can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For your Father is your | Creator, and you are like Him. |
Tx:10.31 | saved for glory. Glory is your inheritance, given your Soul by its | Creator that you might extend it. Yet if you hate part of your own |
Tx:10.35 | if you attack His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his | Creator, he will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot |
Tx:10.35 | praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the | Creator cannot be praised without His Son, for their glory is shared, |
Tx:10.37 | wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God who lives in his | Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the |
Tx:10.37 | extension of the love and the loveliness of God, as perfect as his | Creator and at peace with Him. |
Tx:10.72 | made many ideas which you have placed between yourselves and your | Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you perceive it. Truth is |
Tx:12.52 | the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the light to the | Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from God's Son is |
Tx:12.53 | Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your | Creator, for you will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to |
Tx:12.53 | see your own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your | Creator, He will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. |
Tx:13.82 | yourselves the most unnatural habit of not communicating with your | Creator. Yet you remain in close communication with Him and with |
Tx:14.36 | you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created knows its | Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the Creator and |
Tx:14.36 | knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the | Creator and by His creations. In the holy meeting place are joined |
Tx:14.37 | Heaven itself is union with all of creation and with its One | Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God for you. Lay no gifts |
Tx:14.42 | world you can become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your | Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect |
Tx:14.71 | God, so do we learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His | Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does God proclaim His |
Tx:14.74 | in you is His understanding. It is as firm as is His faith in His | Creator, and He knows that faith in His Creator must encompass faith |
Tx:14.74 | firm as is His faith in His Creator, and He knows that faith in His | Creator must encompass faith in His creation. In this consistency |
Tx:15.64 | learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what your | Creator is and what His creation is along with Him. |
Tx:15.105 | justified in sacrificing others. For who could thrust Heaven and its | Creator aside without a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can |
Tx:16.25 | also host to them. For nothing real has ever left the mind of its | creator. And what is not real was never there. |
Tx:16.40 | you but the call for help which rises ceaselessly from you to your | Creator. Would He not answer you whose completion is His? He loves |
Tx:16.59 | have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no meaning except as its | Creator defined it by His Will. It is impossible to define it |
Tx:17.22 | be safe, however hidden it may be, in every relationship. For the | Creator of the one relationship has left no part of it without |
Tx:17.27 | happiness, and nothing God created but would extend happiness as its | Creator did. Whatever fulfills this function not cannot be real. |
Tx:18.11 | And Heaven looks with love on what is joined in it, along with its | Creator. |
Tx:18.75 | other for some things but by no means totally dependent on their one | Creator for everything and needing the whole to give them any |
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:19.31 | sin is real, both God and you are not. If creation is extension, the | Creator must have extended Himself, and it is impossible that what is |
Tx:19.39 | gratitude which you have offered Him and lay them gently before His | Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father will accept |
Tx:19.42 | than the universe, for it would hold back the universe and its | Creator. This little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and keep |
Tx:19.80 | figures in the funeral procession march not in honor of their | Creator, Whose Will it is they live. They are not following it; they |
Tx:19.81 | But you who would release him are but honoring the Will of his | Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher 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:19.90 | attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your Father. The | Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the Father of |
Tx:20.44 | learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the | Creator of the universe should offer it to him and know it rests in |
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:22.61 | seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack the great | Creator of the universe, whose power you know. |
Tx:22.62 | of you were separate from the other, and all were separate from your | Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the |
Tx:22.64 | realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the | Creator and His Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And |
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 |
Tx:28.10 | You who have sought to lay a judgment on your own | Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His |
Tx:28.12 | He offer them unto the one for whom He has been given them! And His | Creator shares His thanks because He would not be deprived of His |
Tx:28.16 | they establish its causation. Thus, the Son gives fatherhood to his | Creator and receives the gift that he has given Him. It is because he |
Tx:28.23 | His effects and powerless to keep them since He was no longer their | Creator. In the dream, the dreamer made himself, but what he made has |
Tx:28.23 | but what he made has turned against him, taking on the role of its | creator as the dreamer had. And as he hated his Creator, so the |
Tx:28.23 | on the role of its creator as the dreamer had. And as he hated his | Creator, so the figures in the dream have hated him. His body is |
Tx:28.49 | And you will deny your Self and walk upon an alien ground which your | Creator did not make and where you seem to be a “something” you are |
Tx:29.32 | its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its | Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here |
Tx:29.41 | There is no death because the living share the function their | Creator gave to them. Life's function cannot be to die. It must be |
Tx:30.43 | are not born and cannot die. They share the attributes of their | creator, nor have they a separate life apart from his. The thoughts |
Tx:30.47 | home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of its | Creator Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that it is there. |
Tx:30.47 | of you has never left the mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its | Creator knows that it is there. |
Tx:30.73 | from this dilemma if he can forgive. The mind must think of its | Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your brother merits |
W1:29.2 | what shares the purpose of the universe shares the purpose of its | Creator. |
W1:38.1 | it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his | Creator. Through your holiness, the power of God is made manifest. |
W1:49.2 | to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your | Creator has not forgotten His Son. |
W1:52.6 | they mean nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its | Creator. Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to |
W1:62.2 | you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its | Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this, |
W1:68.2 | like what you think you have become, for no one can conceive of his | Creator as unlike himself. |
W1:68.3 | Shut off from your Self, which remains aware of its likeness to its | Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that |
W1:68.3 | For he who holds grievances denies he was created by Love, and his | Creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream |
W1:72.4 | attacked, for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A | creator wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable. |
W1:72.15 | your request, remembering that you are asking them of the infinite | Creator of infinity, Who created you like Himself: |
W1:84.2 | [67] Love created me like Itself. I am in the likeness of my | Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss, and I cannot die. |
W1:84.2 | my own self-concepts to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my | Creator. Love created me like Itself. |
W1:84.4 | an illusion of myself in this. As I look on this, let me remember my | Creator. My Creator did not create this as I see it. |
W1:84.4 | of myself in this. As I look on this, let me remember my Creator. My | Creator did not create this as I see it. |
W1:95.3 | exercises towards reaching your One Self, which is united with its | Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today. |
W1:95.11 | are attempts to keep you unaware you are One Self, united with your | Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power |
W1:95.13 | I am One Self, united with my | Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power |
W1:95.16 | in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, One Self with one | Creator and one goal—to bring awareness of this oneness to all |
W1:95.18 | doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as its | Creator, with His strength within you and His love forever yours. You |
W1:95.21 | You are One Self with me, united with our | Creator in this Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what He |
W1:97.2 | are the Spirit which completes Himself and shares His function as | Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. |
W1:105.4 | when you accept them as God's gift to you, so does the joy of your | Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours. |
W1:113.2 | [95] I am One Self, united with my | Creator. Serenity and perfect peace are mine because I am One Self, |
W1:113.5 | I am One Self, united with my | Creator. |
W1:124.8 | Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with your | Creator, as He is with you. Sometime today, whenever it seems best, |
W1:125.6 | to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its | Creator speak. |
W1:128.6 | in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest in its | Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom, and to love. |
W1:131.6 | No one remains in hell, for no one can abandon his | Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You |
W1:135.26 | in these times today when undefended you present yourself to your | Creator as you really are. |
W1:139.13 | In thanks for all creation, in the name of its | Creator and His oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our |
W1:151.12 | His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and your | Creator, Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy face of Christ |
W1:154.15 | holy words are true. They are the message sent to us today from our | Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about |
W1:154.15 | that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our | Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will |
W1:160.8 | and sure, that you are not a stranger to your Father, nor is your | Creator stranger made to you. Whom God has joined remains forever |
W1:167.4 | Death is the thought that you are separate from your | Creator. It is the belief conditions change, emotions alternate |
W1:170.13 | chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your | Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call of God is heard and |
W1:R5.6 | This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its thoughts, knows Its | Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its knowledge and Its |
W1:183.9 | Repeat His Name, and you acknowledge Him as sole | Creator of reality. And you acknowledge also that His Son is part of |
W1:184.15 | In It we are united with all living things and You Who are their One | Creator. What we made and call by many different names is but a |
W1:185.12 | For you it was created, given you by its | Creator and established as His own eternal gift. How can you fail |
W1:186.12 | —which is more likely to be right? The Voice that speaks for the | Creator of all things Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a |
W1:186.12 | a certain Voice Which tells you of a function given you by your | Creator, Who remembers you and urges that you now remember Him. |
W1:187.10 | has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one | Creator and one thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not |
W1:200.1 | I am blessed with oneness with the universe and God, my Father, One | Creator of the whole that is my Self, forever one with me. I am not a |
W2:I.8 | have spent together in the search for truth and God, Who is its one | Creator. We have found the way He chose for us and made the choice to |
W2:228.1 | as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I am since He is my | Creator and the One Who knows the true condition of His Son? |
W2:271.1 | that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; | Creator and creation unified. |
W2:WILJ.5 | innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your | Creator and completely changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken |
W2:315.2 | them my thankfulness that gratitude to them may lead me on to my | Creator and His memory. |
W2:320.1 | attributes his Father gave in his creation. What he wills with his | Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy will can never be denied |
W2:WICR.2 | God's thoughts are given all the power that Their own | Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His Son |
W2:WICR.4 | our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their | Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to |
W2:WICR.5 | to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the name of its | Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness His own creation shares; |
W2:WIM.3 | And each is laid before the Word of God upon the universal altar to | Creator and creation, in the light of perfect purity and endless joy. |
