| W1:76.9 | Many “religions” have been based on this. They would not save, but | damn in Heaven's name. Yet they are no more strange than other “laws” |
damnation (7) | ||
| Tx:15.77 | Forgiveness lies in communication as surely as | damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to |
| Tx:15.77 | function to instruct those who believe that communication is | damnation that communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the |
| Tx:17.35 | Do not let the frame distract you. This gift is given you for your | damnation, and if you take it, you will believe that you are damned. |
| Tx:21.2 | Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project | |
| Tx:24.33 | Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to | damnation? And do you will that this be done unto your savior? God |
| W1:121.4 | What can the unforgiving mind perceive but its | damnation? What can it behold except the proof that all its sins are |

| Tx:17.35 | your damnation, and if you take it, you will believe that you are | damned. You cannot have the frame without the picture. What you value |
| Tx:19.81 | to sin to feed upon and keep itself alive—a thing condemned, | damned by its maker, and lamented by every mourner who looks upon it |
| Tx:21.2 | on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. See it as | damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If |

| Tx:16.55 | No rituals that you have set up in which the | dance of death delights you can bring death to the eternal. Nor can |

danger (30) | ||
| Tx:1.102 | you want it to do. Relating is a way of achieving an outcome. The | danger of defenses lies in their propensity for holding |
| Tx:4.36 | The term “salvation” does not apply to the Soul, which is not in | danger and does not need to be salvaged. Salvation is nothing more |
| Tx:5.39 | there is strife, you will react viciously because the idea of | danger has entered your mind. The idea itself is an appeal to the ego. |
| 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 welcomes it |
| Tx:7.38 | since your being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of | danger the ego has induced in you by not recognizing its existence in |
| Tx:11.4 | Perhaps the | danger of this to your own mind is not yet fully apparent to you, but |
| Tx:15.76 | his body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and | danger in communication. For the ego will always teach that |
| Tx:19.87 | What | danger can assail the wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? |
| Tx:24.34 | gentleness it offers is but deception, but its hate is real. In | danger of destruction, it must kill, and you are drawn to it to kill |
| Tx:24.43 | direct his way, and you will follow. And both will walk in | danger, each intent, in the dark forest of the sightless, unlit but |
| Tx:28.65 | What is the sense in seeking to be safe in what was made for | danger and for fear? Why burden it with further locks and chains and |
| Tx:29.38 | your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the dream of | danger and destruction, sin, and death; of madness and of murder, |
| Tx:30.88 | will believe the world is an uncertain place in which you walk in | danger and uncertainty. It is but your interpretations which are |
| W1:76.14 | laws throughout the day. It is our statement of freedom from all | danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is our |
| W1:109.1 | We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on | danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will answer our |
| W1:121.2 | in misery, peering about in darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the | danger lurking there. |
| W1:131.1 | for love where there is none, for safety in the midst of | danger, immortality within the darkness of the dream of death. Who |
| W1:131.3 | You look for safety and security while in your heart you pray for | danger and protection for the little dream you made. |
| W1:135.2 | is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a belief that there is | danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense. |
| W1:153.1 | attacks and then attacks again. No peace of mind is possible where | danger threatens thus. |
| W1:170.8 | in him their safety have no guardian, no strength to call upon in | danger, and no mighty warrior to fight for them. |
| W1:189.2 | came, and sings your praises as it keeps you safe from every form of | danger and of pain. It offers you a warm and gentle home in which to |
| W1:190.9 | peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of | danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay down the cruel |
| W2:261.1 | I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in | danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in |
| W2:WIRW.3 | The world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No | danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind and only kindness |
| M:4.17 | undeceived. But he learns faster as his trust increases. It is not | danger that comes when defenses are laid down. It is safety. It is |
| M:5.2 | When this occurs, real strength is seen as threat and health as | danger. Sickness is a method, conceived in madness, for placing God's |
| M:16.6 | Nothing at all! Your defenses will not work, but you are not in | danger. You have no need of them. Recognize this, and they will |

| Tx:2.91 | but they do kill spiritual awareness. All destructive thinking is | dangerous. Given a death wish, a man has no choice except to act upon |
| Tx:3.64 | accept can be brought into awareness. It does not follow that it is | dangerous, but it does follow that you have made it dangerous. |
| Tx:3.64 | that it is dangerous, but it does follow that you have made it | dangerous. |
| Tx:4.82 | from everything else the mind can grasp. “A little knowledge” is not | dangerous except to the ego. Vaguely it senses threat, and being |
| Tx:8.85 | it is protecting it. This is because the ego believes that mind is | dangerous and that to make mindless is to heal. But to make mindless |
| Tx:9.15 | they are. This is more than mere confusion. It is a particularly | dangerous combination of grandiosity and confusion which makes it |
| Tx:10.39 | There is no need to shrink from illusions, for they cannot be | dangerous. We are ready to look more closely at the ego's thought |
| Tx:11.36 | The ego is certain that love is | dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. It never puts it |
| Tx:12.68 | what you have need of and what will not hurt you. Ownership is a | dangerous concept if it is left to you. The ego wants to have things |
| Tx:16.34 | illusions, for this choice does not matter. Where one choice is as | dangerous as the other, the decision must be one of despair. |
| Tx:16.67 | and see it thus. What guilt has wrought is ugly, fearful, and very | dangerous. See no illusion of truth and beauty there. And be you |
| Tx:17.36 | of the gift of death. When you who are truth accept an idea so | dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And your |
| Tx:20.17 | in which there are no interferences, are always seen as | dangerous. The ego is the self-appointed mediator of all |
| Tx:21.85 | Are thoughts then | dangerous? To bodies, yes! The thoughts that seem to kill are those |
| Tx:22.62 | except in the desire to attack in safety? Attack is neither safe nor | dangerous. It is impossible. And this is so because the universe is |
| Tx:24.34 | Everything else becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and | dangerous, hated and worthy only of destruction. Whatever gentleness |
| Tx:26.70 | between the time in which forgiveness is withheld and given seem | dangerous, with terror justified. |

| W1:12.4 | I think I see a fearful world, a | dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked world, a |
| W1:133.12 | two. And the alternative you think you chose seems fearful and too | dangerous to be the nothingness it actually is. |

dark (95) | ||
| Tx:1.22 | cannot see does not exist, and his physical eyes cannot see in the | dark. This is a very primitive solution and has led to a denial of |
| Tx:4.56 | the Face of God. The glass in which the ego seeks to see its face is | dark indeed. How can it maintain the trick of its existence except |
| Tx:4.65 | of truth in which God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's | dark glass you need but say, “I will not look there because I know |
| Tx:5.79 | you. Remember the symbolic reference we made before to the ego's | dark glass, and remember also that we said, “Do not look there.” It |
| Tx:10.2 | Yet that is its insane premise, which is carefully hidden in the | dark cornerstone of its thought system. And either the ego, which you |
| Tx:10.3 | bravely. Be willing to judge it with perfect honesty. Open the | dark cornerstone of terror on which it rests and bring it out into |
| Tx:10.4 | to offer you everything again. Do not refuse it in order to keep a | dark cornerstone hidden, for its protection will not save you. I give |
| Tx:10.26 | guests, and they go with you and abide with you on the way. But the | dark journey is not the way of God's Son. Walk in light, and do not |
| Tx:10.26 | is not the way of God's Son. Walk in light, and do not see the | dark companions, for they are not fit companions for the Son of God, |
| Tx:10.26 | always surrounds you and shines out from you. How can you see the | dark companions in a light such as this? If you see them, it is only |
| Tx:10.27 | When you wander, you but undertake a journey which is not real. The | dark companions, the dark way, are all illusions. Turn toward the |
| Tx:10.27 | but undertake a journey which is not real. The dark companions, the | dark way, are all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little |
| Tx:10.28 | in darkness, for darkness is not in them. Do not be deceived by the | dark comforters, and never let them enter the Mind of God's Son, for |
| Tx:10.29 | there and abides in peace. You cannot enter God's Presence with the | dark companions beside you, but you also cannot enter alone. |
| Tx:12.3 | holds your belief in guilt from your awareness. For in that | dark and secret place is the realization that you have betrayed God's |
| Tx:12.9 | but bring it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no | dark cloud will remain between you and the remembrance of your |
| Tx:12.11 | of crucifixion. Your real terror is of redemption. Under the ego's | dark foundation is the memory of God, and it is of this that you are |
| Tx:12.12 | want the separation healed, and you realize that, by removing the | dark cloud that obscures it, your love for your Father would impel |
| Tx:12.19 | and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you will be hiding a | dark place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you |
| Tx:12.46 | this darkness with you, and by holding it in your minds, see it as a | dark cloud that shrouds your brothers and conceals their reality from |
| Tx:12.49 | him. And since his past is yours, you share in this release. Let no | dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for truth lies only |
| Tx:12.71 | to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it never can become a | dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His |
| Tx:13.17 | you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world seems | dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a dark veil over it and |
| Tx:13.17 | it, the world seems dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a | dark veil over it and cannot see it because you cannot look within. |
| Tx:13.18 | do without remaining blind. For those who see their brothers in the | dark, and guilty in the dark in which they shroud them, are too |
| Tx:13.18 | For those who see their brothers in the dark, and guilty in the | dark in which they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the light |
| Tx:13.27 | now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a | dark world where pain is pressing everywhere upon him from without. |
| Tx:13.51 | wholly of you, the thought system which you made would be forever | dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's Son projects have all the |
| Tx:13.62 | could ever be or ever was? This simple lesson holds the key to the | dark door which you believe is locked forever. You made this door of |
| Tx:13.80 | and His love and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the | dark. For you decide for them and for yourself. |
| Tx:14.16 | The journey that we undertake together is the exchange of | dark for light, of ignorance for understanding. Nothing you |
| Tx:14.16 | If you did, it would be clear, and you would be no longer in the | dark. Nothing has hidden value, for what is hidden cannot be shared, |
| Tx:14.21 | You who speak in | dark and devious symbols do not understand the language you have |
| Tx:14.23 | that in the light they are not fearful and cannot serve to guard the | dark doors behind which nothing at all is carefully concealed. We |
| Tx:14.30 | not for Him alone but for Him with you. Bring, therefore, all your | dark and secret thoughts to Him and look upon them with Him. He holds |
| Tx:14.32 | lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt and in the | dark denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed |
| Tx:14.32 | shrouded in guilt and in the dark denial of innocence. Behind the | dark doors which you have closed lies nothing, because nothing can |
| Tx:14.62 | of His happiness, which is yours. But to accomplish this, all your | dark lessons must be brought willingly to truth and joyously laid |
| Tx:14.62 | laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to take. Every | dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept |
| Tx:14.63 | God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are | dark lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you and everyone |
| Tx:14.63 | you do not will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every | dark lesson teaches this in one form or another. And each bright |
| Tx:14.63 | And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit will replace the | dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you will with |
| Tx:14.68 | use this fancied undependability as an excuse for keeping certain | dark lessons from Him. And by so limiting the guidance that you would |
| Tx:14.69 | them instead of you and recognized they never were. There are no | dark lessons He has not already lightened for you. The lessons you |
| Tx:14.70 | would establish His bright teaching so firmly in your mind that no | dark lessons of guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by |
| Tx:15.67 | have not looked at what it is and have judged it completely in the | dark. As we bring it to light, your only question will be why it was |
| Tx:16.39 | veil behind which truth is hidden. To lift the veil which seems so | dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all fantasy |
| Tx:17.40 | rightful place, when both are seen in relation to each other. The | dark picture brought to light is not perceived as fearful, but the |
| Tx:18.90 | this artificial floor which looks like rock, is like a bank of low | dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall before the sun. Its |
| Tx:18.92 | So should it be with the | dark clouds of guilt, no more impenetrable and no more substantial. |
| Tx:18.93 | you ready for the final step in the journey inward. Here are the | dark and heavy garments of guilt laid by and gently replaced by |
| Tx:19.77 | to it and seek it out. And so it is with death. Made by the ego, its | dark shadow falls across all living things because the ego is the |
| Tx:19.84 | save them from communication. For death is seen as safety, the great | dark savior from the light of truth, the answer to the Answer, the |
| Tx:19.85 | of our Father, this is a dream of death. There is no funeral, no | dark altars, no grim commandments nor twisted rituals of condemnation |
| Tx:19.91 | aside and run to meet Him and to join with Him at last. For this | dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ Himself like to a |
| Tx:20.2 | lilies, the white and holy sign the Son of God is innocent. Let no | dark sign of crucifixion intervene between the journey and its |
| Tx:21.71 | power and by their envy make themselves afraid of it? These are the | dark ones, silent and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful |
| Tx:21.72 | Frantic and loud and strong the | dark ones seem to be. Yet they know not their enemy, except they hate |
| Tx:22.16 | the other brings. Every illusion carries pain and suffering in the | dark folds of the heavy garments with which it hides its nothingness. |
| Tx:22.16 | the heavy garments with which it hides its nothingness. Yet in these | dark and heavy garments are those who seek illusions covered and |
| Tx:22.17 | for how could joy be found in misery? All that is possible in the | dark world of misery is to select some aspects out of it, see them as |
| Tx:22.59 | be only that you give to Him that which can be extended. Save no | dark secrets that He cannot use, but offer Him the tiny gifts He can |
| Tx:24.43 | you will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent, in the | dark forest of the sightless, unlit but by the shifting tiny gleams |
| Tx:25.19 | Within the darkness, see the savior from the | dark and understand your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to |
| Tx:25.19 | step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see the | dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who brought him |
| Tx:26.90 | way. And so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the | dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile world. The world is |
| Tx:29.3 | one still remains to block your path and make the way to light seem | dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your |
| Tx:29.21 | perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light created in the | dark, where God still shines. |
| Tx:29.24 | still because you gave your light to him to save him from the | dark. And now the light in you must be as bright as shines in him. |
| Tx:29.54 | of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall before His face like a | dark veil which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in darkness. |
| Tx:29.55 | because its purpose is to separate your brother from yourself. A | dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought without the power to change |
| Tx:30.87 | It must be forever unintelligible. This is not communication. Your | dark dreams are but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in |
| Tx:31.25 | can indeed obscure your sight but cannot make the way itself grow | dark. And He Who travels with you has the light. |
| Tx:31.82 | unto you, be hidden from the world. It needs the light, for it is | dark indeed, and men despair because the savior's vision is withheld, |
| W1:41.4 | you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this | dark and heavy cloud and to go through it to the light beyond. |
| W1:69.4 | Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy | dark clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be |
| W1:75.2 | the happy ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no | dark dreams now. The light has come. Today the time of light begins |
| W1:78.1 | one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a | dark shield of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you |
| W1:78.3 | where he has always been. He stands in light, but you were in the | dark. Each grievance made the darkness deeper, and you could not see. |
| W1:78.11 | Be very quiet now and look upon your shining savior. No | dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy |
| W1:88.2 | for it has no alternative. It has replaced the darkness, and the | dark is gone. |
| W1:91.1 | You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the | dark. |
| W1:92.10 | the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the | dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, |
| W1:102.1 | gone as yet but lacks the roots that once secured it tightly to the | dark and hidden secret places of your mind. |
| W1:111.3 | I see through strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness is the | dark His gift dispels by giving me His strength to take its place. |
| W1:123.2 | your Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the | dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought |
| W1:127.5 | the world believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it | dark and secret. There is not one principle the world upholds but |
| W1:127.8 | of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a | dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He will shine |
| W1:136.18 | arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no | dark corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from the light of |

| Tx:1.22 | are associated with fear only because of the fallacious belief that | darkness can hide. Man believes that what he cannot see does not |
| Tx:1.22 | and has led to a denial of the Spiritual eye. The escape from | darkness involves two stages: |
| Tx:1.23 | A. The recognition that | darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear. |
| Tx:1.43 | the light where it belongs. Holiness can never be really hidden in | darkness, but man can deceive himself about it. This illusion makes |
| Tx:1.57 | or unreal. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light, | darkness automatically disappears. |
| Tx:1.58 | Darkness is lack of light, as sin is lack of love. It has no unique | |
| Tx:2.19 | error. It brings all error into the light, and since error and | darkness are the same, it corrects error automatically. True denial |
| Tx:2.99 | and love is everything. This is because whenever light enters | darkness, the darkness is abolished. What man believes is true for |
| Tx:2.99 | is everything. This is because whenever light enters darkness, the | darkness is abolished. What man believes is true for him. In this |
| Tx:3.17 | because it exists in light. Only man's attempts to shroud it in | darkness have made it inaccessible to the unwilling and ambiguous to |
| Tx:3.18 | can withstand any form of evil because light abolishes all forms of | darkness. The Atonement is thus the perfect lesson. It is the final |
| Tx:3.26 | A firm commitment to | darkness or nothingness is impossible. No one has ever lived who has |
| Tx:3.26 | himself in this connection. That is why those who live largely in | darkness and emptiness never find any lasting solace. Innocence is |
| Tx:3.46 | not be reconciled with this loss of power because it is incapable of | darkness. This is why it became almost inaccessible to the mind and |
| Tx:3.47 | superconscious was perceived as a threat, because light does abolish | darkness merely by establishing the fact that it is not there. The |

| Tx:5.21 | You are the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let the belief in | darkness enter your minds, and so you need a new light. The Holy |
| Tx:5.21 | The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the idea of | darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls away and |
| Tx:6.38 | Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is One. No | darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your part is only to |

| Tx:8.27 | Light does not attack | darkness, but it does shine it away. If my light goes with you |

| Tx:9.25 | as the psychotherapist does or like the theologian, by acknowledging | darkness in yourself and looking for a distant light to remove it |
| Tx:9.28 | The therapist does not heal; he lets healing be. He can point to | darkness, but he cannot bring light of himself, for light is not of |
| Tx:10.14 | belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this, you hide in | darkness, denying that the light is in you. |
| Tx:10.27 | in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all | darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you are like |

| Tx:11.17 | you have laid upon yourselves. You are hiding your nightmares in the | darkness of your own certainty and refusing to open your eyes and |
| Tx:12.21 | darkened mind cannot live in the light, and it must seek a place of | darkness where it can believe it is where it is not. God did not |

| Tx:12.42 | your eyes, for you made your way of seeing that you might see in | darkness, and in this you are deceived. Beyond this darkness and yet |
| Tx:12.42 | you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. Beyond this | darkness and yet still within you is the vision of Christ, Who looks |

| Tx:12.47 | This | darkness is in you. The Christ revealed to you now has no past, for |
| Tx:12.51 | past against them? For if you do, you are choosing to remain in the | darkness that is not there and refusing to accept the light that is |

| Tx:12.55 | theirs in power so compelling that it will draw the others out of | darkness as you look on them. |
| Tx:12.56 | your eyes are closed. You do not see your brothers, and in the | darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave to them. |

| Tx:13.5 | Him to give His gift of light to all who think they wander in the | darkness, and let Him gather them into His quiet sight that makes |
| Tx:13.11 | Fidelity unto this law lets no light in, for it demands fidelity to | darkness and forbids awakening. The ego's laws are strict, and |
| Tx:13.11 | between them like a lamp that shines so brightly that the chain of | darkness in which you bound yourselves will disappear. |
| Tx:13.13 | from what you found in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful unto | darkness and you will not see, because your faith will be rewarded as |
| Tx:13.28 | Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and look past | darkness to the holy place where you will see the light. The altar to |

| Tx:13.47 | exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the ego points to | darkness and to death. We have followed much of the ego's logic and |
| Tx:13.59 | God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth into the | darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines, your brothers |

| Tx:14.17 | to love if it is brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no | darkness that the light of love will not dispel, unless it is |
| Tx:14.17 | its healing power, because it has been separated off and kept in | darkness. The sentinels of darkness watch over it carefully, and you |
| Tx:14.17 | it has been separated off and kept in darkness. The sentinels of | darkness watch over it carefully, and you who made these guardians of |

| Tx:14.24 | What do you want? Light or | darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites |
| Tx:14.24 | everything that is not real must disappear, for truth is union. As | darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades away when knowledge |
| Tx:14.27 | joint acceptance would become impossible. But if one is kept in | darkness from the other, their separation seems to keep them both |

| Tx:14.30 | it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the light to | darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He |
| Tx:14.30 | He enters gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you make the | darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon. For He |
| Tx:14.30 | to Him and look upon them with Him. He holds the light, and you the | darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you together look on them. |
| Tx:14.32 | In the | darkness you have obscured the glory God gave you and the power He |
| Tx:14.42 | but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden | darkness you have drawn upon it. God will shine upon it of Himself. |
| Tx:14.42 | Himself can be perceived upon it. Reflections are seen in light. In | darkness they are obscure, and their meaning seems to lie only in |
| Tx:14.49 | and the reflections of Heaven last but a moment and grow dim as | darkness blots them out. Where there was light, darkness removes it |
| Tx:14.49 | and grow dim as darkness blots them out. Where there was light, | darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of light |
| Tx:14.49 | removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of light and | darkness sweep constantly across your minds. |

| Tx:20.65 | of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to see him not in | darkness, for your imaginings about him will seem real there. You |
| Tx:21.4 | are open, and you can see where safety lies and which way leads to | darkness, which to light. Judgment will always give you false |
| Tx:21.39 | Nor is it possible that what gives light be one with what depends on | darkness to be seen. Neither demands the sacrifice of the other. Yet |
| Tx:21.40 | The body was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the | darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the light of vision, it is |

| Tx:25.18 | as Itself. Its holiness lights up the sinlessness the frame of | darkness hides and casts a veil of light across the picture's face, |
| Tx:25.19 | Within the | darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand your brother as |
| Tx:25.19 | as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from | darkness as you look on him, and you will see the dark no more. The |
| Tx:25.19 | darkness as you look on him, and you will see the dark no more. The | darkness touched him not, nor you who brought him forth for you to |
| Tx:25.19 | much he overlooks the masterpiece in him and sees only a frame of | darkness, it is still your only function to behold in him what he |
| Tx:25.20 | His joy along with Him. And thus is yours completed. Not one ray of | darkness can be seen by those who will to make their Father's |
| Tx:25.22 | him. To each of you is given the power of salvation that escape from | darkness into light be yours to share; that you may see as one what |
| Tx:25.27 | must the Maker of the world correct your error, lest you remain in | darkness where the lamps are not. Everyone here has entered darkness, |
| Tx:25.27 | in darkness where the lamps are not. Everyone here has entered | darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor need he stay more |
| Tx:25.27 | he has come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him out of | darkness into light at any time. |

| Tx:25.44 | Eyes become used to | darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful to the eyes |
| Tx:25.44 | this is not what eyes are for. And who can say that he prefers the | darkness and maintain he wants to see? The wish to see calls down the |
| Tx:25.49 | Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against himself. Only in | darkness does your specialness appear to be attack. In light, you see |
| Tx:29.22 | see him shining in the space of light where God abides within the | darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before |
| Tx:29.22 | the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. The | darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the light means |
| Tx:29.23 | you can extend. On earth this means forgive your brother, that the | darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light has come to him |
| Tx:29.23 | he saw the light that he would keep beside him as he walks through | darkness to the everlasting light. |
| Tx:29.54 | face like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in | darkness. Yet the light is there. A cloud does not put out the sun. |
| Tx:29.58 | is infinite, a place where time can interrupt eternity? A place of | darkness set where all is light, a dismal alcove separated off from |
| Tx:31.25 | a sense of endless doubting as you stagger back and forward in the | darkness and alone. Yet these are but appearances of what the journey |
| Tx:31.48 | shrouded vaults are all his sins and yours preserved and kept in | darkness where they cannot be perceived as errors, which the light |
| Tx:31.53 | Perhaps the reason why this concept must be kept in | darkness is that in the light the one who would not think it true is |
| Tx:31.74 | glimpse a shadow of what lies beyond. At least, you merely look on | darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty |
| Tx:31.75 | looks on everyone as he beholds this One. For there is light where | darkness was before, and now the veil is lifted from his sight. |
| Tx:31.97 | it remains. Not one illusion is accorded faith, and not one spot of | darkness still remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy |
| W1:9.2 | or any other exercises. Each little step will clear a little of the | darkness away, and understanding will finally come to lighten every |
| W1:44.1 | for yesterday, adding another dimension to it. You cannot see in | darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make darkness and then |
| W1:44.1 | You cannot see in darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make | darkness and then think you see in it, but light reflects life and is |
| W1:44.1 | reflects life and is therefore an aspect of creation. Creation and | darkness cannot coexist, but light and life must go together, being |
| W1:44.6 | yourself from time to time that to reach light is to escape from | darkness, whatever you may believe to the contrary. God is the Light |
| W1:59.5 | [44] God is the Light in which I see. I cannot see in | darkness. God is the only Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be |
| W1:62.1 | It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of | darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize |
| W1:69.1 | are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone stands in | darkness, and you beside him. But as the veil of your grievances is |
| W1:69.2 | the salvation of the world. We are trying to see past the veil of | darkness that keeps it concealed. We are trying to let the veil be |
| W1:69.7 | of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from | darkness into light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail |
| W1:73.1 | God. This is not the same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which | darkness and nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all |
| W1:73.4 | Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it. | Darkness has vanished; the ego's idle wishes have been withdrawn. |
| W1:73.5 | can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor | darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you |
| W1:73.5 | mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the | darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of |
| W1:73.16 | I will there be light. | Darkness is not my will. |
| W1:73.17 | your grievances go instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the | darkness. |
| W1:75.1 | You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go. | Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The light has come. |
| W1:75.11 | Be confident that on this day there is a new beginning. Without the | darkness of the past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. |
| W1:75.13 | Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you back to | darkness: |
| W1:78.3 | stands in light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance made the | darkness deeper, and you could not see. |
| W1:85.2 | Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? They keep me in | darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, |
| W1:87.2 | use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in | darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. |
| W1:88.2 | but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the | darkness, and the dark is gone. |
| W1:88.4 | This cannot show me | darkness, for the light has come. The light in you is all that I |
| W1:91.2 | To you, then, light is crucial. While you remain in | darkness, the miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is |
| W1:91.2 | it is not there. This follows from the premises from which the | darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. |
| W1:91.2 | to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive | darkness. The light is useless to you then, even though it is there. |
| W1:91.2 | its presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the | darkness makes the idea of light meaningless. |
| W1:91.3 | doubt the images they show you are reality. Your faith lies in the | darkness, not the light. |
| W1:91.11 | but certain. I am not an illusion, but a reality. I cannot see in | darkness, but in light. |
| W1:92.1 | the previous one. You do not think of light in terms of strength and | darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your idea of what |
| W1:92.3 | is your weakness that sees through the body's eyes, peering about in | darkness to behold the likeness of itself—the small, the weak, the |
| W1:92.4 | It sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In | darkness you perceive a self that is not there. |
| W1:92.5 | idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be dispelled and | darkness rule where God appointed that there should be light. |
| W1:92.5 | and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the | darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on sickness, which is |
| W1:92.7 | Weakness, which looks in | darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees |
| W1:92.7 | that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not love. In | darkness it remains to hide itself and dreams that it is strong and |
| W1:92.7 | is strong and conquering, a victor over limitations that but grow in | darkness to enormous size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, |
| W1:92.7 | to enormous size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and | darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as |
| W1:92.8 | flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to day and back to | darkness till the morning comes again. The light of strength is |
| W1:92.11 | recognize that we are being introduced to sight and led away from | darkness to the light, where only miracles can be perceived. |
| W1:93.1 | You think you are the home of evil, | darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth about you |
| W1:94.2 | guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you. | Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You stand in |
| W1:95.17 | Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of | darkness from the world and let the light in you come through to |
| W1:97.7 | the steady brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of | darkness, nor will you be able to forget the way again. |
| W1:108.2 | eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified that | darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus what is the same is |
| W1:111.2 | [91] Miracles are seen in light. I cannot see in | darkness. Let the light of holiness and truth light up my mind And |
| W1:121.2 | release from pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in | darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there. |
| W1:121.3 | afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of | darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light. |
| W1:127.5 | Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in | darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to eyes that see |
| W1:129.9 | Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent | darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one |
| W1:129.10 | to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of | darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind |
| W1:130.2 | see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in | darkness what is there. |
| W1:130.3 | What, then, can fear project upon the world? What can be seen in | darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is |
| W1:131.1 | is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality within the | darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where contradiction |
| W1:131.16 | your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all | darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so bright and clear |
| W1:R4.12 | for us and through our faithfulness restored the world from | darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to peace, from |
| W1:153.11 | while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation waits and | darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn |
| W1:162.6 | You are as God created you. These words dispel the night, and | darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the world, for |
| W1:182.3 | not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless search, seeking in | darkness what he cannot find, not recognizing what it is he seeks. A |
| W1:184.10 | —a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the | darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name Which God has given |
| W1:184.10 | share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step back to | darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its |
| W1:184.10 | its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world which | darkness rules. |
| W1:184.11 | Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of | darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy Spirit uses |
| W1:190.11 | peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the | darkness of the world. |
| W1:192.7 | to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly light we grope in | darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and our attack. Our |
| W1:198.9 | words upon your mind that you may find the key to light and let the | darkness end: |
| W2:I.8 | would have us go. His hand has held us up. His thoughts have lit the | darkness of our minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since |
| W2:274.1 | the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all | darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him. |
| W2:302.1 | But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that | darkness is our own imagining and light is there for us to look upon. |
| W2:302.1 | and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision changes | darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let |
| W2:304.2 | You lead me from the | darkness to the light, from sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus |
| W2:WIE.5 | Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the | darkness into light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life |
| W2:332.1 | Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of | darkness, offering it hope and giving it the means to realize the |
| M:1.1 | is established and his direction is sure. A light has entered the | darkness. It may be a single light, but that is enough. He has |
| M:8.1 | on unequal heights and diverse sizes, on varying degrees of | darkness and light, and thousands of contrasts in which each thing |
| M:28.2 | Christ's face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in | darkness apart from the light of forgiveness. There is no sorrow |

| Tx:4.39 | generally quite deficient in this respect, as are many theologians. | Data from one realm of discourse do not mean anything in another, |
| Tx:4.39 | on the ego in an attempt to unify their clearly unrelated | data. It need hardly be said that an attempt to relate the unrelated |
| Tx:4.45 | experiences threat and not only censors but also reinterprets the | data. However, as Freud correctly pointed out, what you have |
| Tx:8.76 | catastrophic outcomes. The Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the same | data, does not bother to analyze them at all. If the data are |
| Tx:8.76 | of the same data, does not bother to analyze them at all. If the | data are meaningless, there is no point in considering them. The |
| Tx:8.76 | is no point in considering them. The function of truth is to collect | data which are true. There is no point in trying to make sense out of |

| Tx:9.86 | Reality can | dawn only on an unclouded mind. It is always there to be accepted, |

| Tx:10.34 | Do not oppose this realization, for it is truly the beginning of the | dawn of light. Remember also that the denial of this simple fact |
| Tx:11.10 | attack as the call for help that it is, the unreality of fear must | dawn upon you. For fear is a call for love in unconscious recognition |
| Tx:11.81 | made it invisible and wants to keep it so. For the memory of God can | dawn only in a mind that wills to remember and that has relinquished |

| Tx:11.77 | Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real world every | day and every hour and every minute, and yet you are surprised that |

| Tx:21.39 | that the moon and sun are one because they come with night and | day, and so they must be joined. Yet sight of one is but the sign the |

| Tx:26.74 | and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now but will some | day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is not reason, for it |
| Tx:26.74 | interval in which disaster strikes, to be perceived as “good” some | day but now in form of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could |

| Tx:30.2 | of day you want and tell yourself there is a way in which this very | day can happen just like that. Then try again to have the day you |
| Tx:30.2 | this very day can happen just like that. Then try again to have the | day you want. |

| Tx:30.14 | to your question. And you will not get it, for it would destroy the | day by robbing you of what you really want. This can be very hard to |
| Tx:30.14 | you have decided by yourself the rules which promise you a happy | day. Yet this decision still can be undone by simple methods which |
| Tx:30.24 | Now you have changed your mind about the | day and have remembered what you really want. Its purpose has no |
| Tx:30.28 | It must be clear that it is easier to have a happy | day if you prevent unhappiness from entering at all. But this takes |
| Tx:30.29 | We said you can begin a happy | day with the determination not to make decisions by yourself. This |
| Tx:30.30 | Your | day is not at random. It is set by what you choose to live it with |
| Tx:30.31 | by you and your advisor for yourself and for the world as well. The | day you want you offer to the world, for it will be what you have |
| Tx:30.31 | in the world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of | day will you decide to have? |
| Tx:30.32 | It needs but two who would have happiness this | day to promise it to all the world. It needs but two to understand |
| Tx:30.32 | be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the | day you want and give it to the world by having it yourself. Your |
| Tx:30.32 | judgment has been lifted from the world by your decision for a happy | day. And as you have received, so must you give. |
| Tx:30.82 | You add an element into the script you write for every minute in the | day, and all that happens now means something else. You take away |
| Tx:30.83 | What do your scripts reflect except your plans for what the | day should be? And thus you judge disaster and success, advance, |
| Tx:31.6 | the simple lessons being taught to you in every moment of each | day, since time began and learning had been made? |
| Tx:31.45 | and good. This aspect never makes the first attack. But every | day a hundred little things make small assaults upon its innocence, |
| W1:I.2 | period is one year. Do not undertake more than one exercise a | day. |
| W1:I.3 | It is recommended that each exercise be repeated several times a | day, preferably in a different place each time and, if possible, in |
| W1:I.4 | decide that there are some things you see to which the idea for the | day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises will always be to |
| W1:1.5 | to anything you see. As you practice applying the idea for the | day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to apply it to |
| W1:3.2 | by judgment, in selecting the things to which the idea for the | day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like another— |
| W1:4.1 | preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the idea for the | day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that |
| W1:4.5 | not repeat these exercises more than three or four times during the | day. We will return to them later. |
| W1:5.1 | matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the | day. Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the first |
| W1:5.12 | Three or four times during the | day are enough. |
| W1:6.3 | that seems to upset you and can profitably be used throughout the | day for that purpose. However, the three or four practice periods |
| W1:8.10 | This can be done four or five times during the | day, unless you find it irritates you. If you find it trying, three |
| W1:9.3 | sufficient, involve looking about you and applying the idea for the | day to whatever you see, remembering the need for its indiscriminate |
| W1:14.9 | can, of course, be applied to anything that disturbs you during the | day, aside from the practice periods. Be very specific in applying |
| W1:15.7 | four. However, the idea can be applied as needed throughout the | day. |
| W1:19.5 | be quite familiar to you by now and will no longer be repeated each | day, although it will occasionally be included as a reminder. Do not |
| W1:20.4 | exercises for today consist in reminding yourselves throughout the | day that you want to see. Today's idea also tacitly implies the |
| W1:23.6 | Besides using it throughout the | day as the need arises, five practice periods are required in |
| W1:26.6 | as yet unsettled which tends to recur in your thoughts during the | day is a suitable subject. You will not be able to use very many for |
| W1:27.6 | or shortly afterwards and attempt to adhere to it throughout the | day. It will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in |
| W1:27.7 | try to keep on your schedule from then on. If only once during the | day you feel that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating |
| W1:28.7 | have six two minute practice periods today in which the idea for the | day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see in looking |
| W1:30.3 | Today's idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the | day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat it to yourself slowly, |
| W1:31.1 | other consisting of frequent applications of the idea throughout the | day. |
| W1:31.4 | addition, repeat the idea for today as often as possible during the | day. Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of |
| W1:32.5 | These exercises are also to be continued during the | day as often as possible. The shorter applications consist of |
| W1:33.2 | to maintain this detachment as you repeat the idea throughout the | day. |
| W1:34.5 | The purpose is to protect yourself from temptation throughout the | day. If a specific form of temptation arises in your awareness, the |
| W1:35.11 | As often as possible during the | day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes you are ascribing to |
| W1:36.2 | applications frequently to protect your protection throughout the | day. The longer practice periods should take this form: |
| W1:40.2 | if you do. However, you may be in a number of situations during the | day when closing your eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a |
| W1:41.8 | Throughout the | day, use today's idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably |
| W1:42.9 | practice periods which would be most beneficial. The idea for the | day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together and teaching |
| W1:42.10 | The more often you repeat the idea during the | day, the more often you will be reminding yourself that the goal of |
| W1:43.12 | circumstances and situations in which you find yourself during the | day. When you are with someone else, for example, try to remember to |
| W1:43.15 | The idea should also be applied throughout the | day to various situations and events which may occur, particularly to |
| W1:44.11 | Throughout the | day, repeat the idea often with eyes open or closed as seems better |
| W1:45.12 | with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the idea throughout the | day to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, |
| W1:46.13 | if they are needed. They will be needed at any time during the | day when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, |
| W1:49.1 | It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all through the | day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. The part |
| W1:R1.2 | Begin the | day by reading the five ideas, with the comments included. |
| W1:R1.2 | and the related comments. Do this as often as possible during the | day. If any one of the five ideas appeals to you more than the |
| W1:R1.2 | you more than the others, concentrate on that one. At the end of the | day, however, be sure to review all of them once more. |
| W1:59.3 | has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this | day may help me to understand eternity. |
| W1:60.5 | [49] God's Voice speaks to me all through the | day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to call on my |
| W1:61.8 | Be sure both to begin and end the | day with a practice period. Thus you will awaken with an |
| W1:61.8 | of the truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout the | day, and turn to sleep as you reaffirm your function and your only |
| W1:62.4 | Let us be glad to begin and end this | day by practicing today's idea and to use it as frequently as |
| W1:62.4 | today's idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the | day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you |
| W1:62.4 | frequently as possible throughout the day. It will help to make the | day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those |
| W1:63.3 | we will be happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the | day by acknowledging it and close the day with the thought of it in |
| W1:63.3 | often today. We will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the | day with the thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, |
| W1:63.3 | the day with the thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the | day, we will repeat this as often as we can: |
| W1:64.5 | of it in the morning and again at night and all through the | day as well. |
| W1:64.10 | the frequent applications of today's idea to be made throughout the | day, devote several minutes to reviewing these thoughts and then to |
| W1:65.3 | daily extended practice periods at approximately the same time each | day. Try, also, to determine this time today in advance and then |
| W1:65.4 | The purpose of this is to arrange your | day so that you have set apart the time for God, as well as for all |
| W1:73.11 | His will is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very | day to look upon the light in him and be saved. |
| W1:75.11 | forgiveness to heal your sight completely. Be confident that on this | day there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the past upon |
| W1:75.15 | We dedicate this | day to the serenity in which God would have you be. Keep it in your |
| W1:76.14 | to experience ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the | day. It is our statement of freedom from all danger and all tyranny. |
| W1:78.12 | We will remember this throughout the | day and take the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, |
| W1:R2.1 | will begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each | day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one of these |
| W1:R2.1 | left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each | day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the |
| W1:R2.1 | will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the | day to the other. We will have one longer exercise period and |
| W1:R2.4 | of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each | day not to leave your function unfulfilled. |
| W1:87.2 | it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This | day I will experience the peace of true perception. |
| W1:92.8 | not change and flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to | day and back to darkness till the morning comes again. The light of |
| W1:92.11 | we will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we will use the | day in preparation for the time at night when we will meet again in |
| W1:93.17 | today to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the | day is true indeed. |
| W1:95.4 | five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the | day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are |
| W1:95.5 | often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the | day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using it as an |
| W1:95.8 | There may well be a temptation to regard the | day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. |
| W1:95.20 | Throughout the | day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as |
| W1:96.17 | the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this | day, that it be given you! |
| W1:98.1 | Today is a | day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We |
| W1:100.9 | and that you find it now. For this you came. Let this one be the | day that you succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the |
| W1:103.6 | be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the | day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly |
| W1:107.9 | and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we do this | day. |
| W1:109.4 | This is the | day of peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds |
| W1:110.11 | We will remember Him throughout the | day with thankful hearts and loving thoughts for all who meet with us |
| W1:R3.1 | review begins today. We will review two of the last 20 ideas each | day until we have reviewed them all. We will observe a special format |
| W1:R3.1 | for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal each | day and every hour of the day. |
| W1:R3.1 | what is suggested here as optimal each day and every hour of the | day. |
| W1:R3.5 | should use for these reviews is this: devote five minutes twice a | day, or longer if you would prefer, to considering the thoughts that |
| W1:R3.8 | the benefits to you if you devote the first five minutes of the | day to your review and also give the last five minutes of your waking |
| W1:R3.8 | to your review and also give the last five minutes of your waking | day to it. If this cannot be done, at least try to divide them so you |
| W1:R3.9 | The exercises to be done throughout the | day are equally important and perhaps of even greater value. You have |
| W1:R3.11 | with you and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the | day as well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice |
| W1:R3.11 | planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each | day to everything you do. |
| W1:R3.12 | of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the | day and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to |
| W1:121.13 | Do not forget throughout the | day the role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every |
| W1:122.2 | in your eyes as you awake and gives you joy with which to meet the | day. It soothes your forehead while you sleep and rests upon your |
| W1:122.2 | malice, and attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another | day of happiness and peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more. |
| W1:122.9 | our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the | day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it |
| W1:122.13 | Let not your gifts recede throughout the | day, as you return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak |
| W1:122.14 | which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness through the | day: |
| W1:123.2 | A | day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight |
| W1:125.1 | Let this | day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills |
| W1:125.1 | Let this day be a | day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear |
| W1:125.10 | a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this | day—in quiet to receive the Word of God. |
| W1:126.8 | the release which lies in the idea we practice for today, this is a | day of glory for the world. |
| W1:126.11 | can, remind yourself you have a goal today—an aim which makes this | day of special value to yourself and all your brothers. Do not let |
| W1:127.11 | We will remember them throughout the | day because we cannot leave a part of us outside our love if we would |
| W1:128.8 | Protect your mind throughout the | day as well. And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an |
| W1:129.4 | and yet surely understood. Communication, unambiguous and plain as | day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to |
| W1:129.10 | behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly and can understand. A | day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This day we |
| W1:129.10 | A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This | day we realize that what you feared to lose was only loss. |
| W1:130.5 | Today we will not seek for them nor waste this | day in seeking not what cannot be found. It is impossible to see two |
| W1:131.17 | the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some | day and through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today |
| W1:131.17 | through 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 |
| W1:131.17 | to His holy Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a | day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where |
| W1:132.15 | them. And we who are as He created us would loose the world this | day from every one of our illusions that we may be free. |
| W1:132.20 | Throughout the | day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the world, |
| W1:134.19 | Forgiveness should be practiced through the | day, for there will be so many times when you forget its meaning and |
| W1:135.28 | Try not to shape this | day as you believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of |
| W1:135.28 | giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you. Throughout the | day, as foolish little things appear to raise defensiveness in you |
| W1:135.28 | you to engage in weaving plans, remind yourself this is a special | day for learning, and acknowledge it with this: |
| W1:137.12 | only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this | day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware |
| W1:137.14 | Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we will begin the | day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we |
| W1:137.16 | Let healing be through you this very | day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to |
| W1:137.16 | attack. Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the | day slips by, remembering our function with this thought: |
| W1:138.12 | hour in between. And now we give the last five minutes of our waking | day to the decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we |
| W1:138.12 | quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And finally we close the | day with this, acknowledging we chose but what we want: |
| W1:140.11 | We waken hearing Him and let Him speak to us five minutes as the | day begins and end the day by listening again five minutes more |
| W1:140.11 | and let Him speak to us five minutes as the day begins and end the | day by listening again five minutes more before we go to sleep. Our |
| W1:140.14 | prayer be given 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 |
| W1:140.14 | and in joy. This is the day when healing comes to us. This is the | day when separation ends and we remember Who we really are. |
| W1:R4.7 | Begin each | day with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what |
| W1:R4.7 | of your mind to learn what each idea you will review that | day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear |
| W1:R4.9 | Five minutes with this thought will be enough to set the | day along the lines which God appointed and to place His Mind in |
| W1:R4.9 | place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that | day. They will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared |
| W1:R4.10 | read 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 |
| W1:R4.10 | given to you through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that | day give you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. |
| W1:R4.11 | Each hour of the | day bring to your mind the thought with which the day began and spend |
| W1:R4.11 | Each hour of the day bring to your mind the thought with which the | day began and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas |
| W1:R4.11 | quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas you practice for the | day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the gifts which they contain |
| W1:R4.12 | Each | day of practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating |
| W1:R4.12 | we close as we began, repeating first the thought that made the | day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and through |
| W1:R4.12 | keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the | day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace |
| W1:151.13 | with but a single, slow repeating of the thought with which the | day begins. And then we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him |
| W1:152.13 | The power of decision is my own. This | day I will accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be. |
| W1:152.15 | In patience wait for Him throughout the | day and hourly invite Him with the words with which the day began, |
| W1:152.15 | the day and hourly invite Him with the words with which the | day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. |
| W1:153.14 | So is the story ended. Let this | day bring the last chapter closer to the world that everyone may |
| W1:153.15 | in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each | day by giving our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. |
| W1:153.15 | Five minutes now becomes the least we give to preparation for a | day in which salvation is the only goal we have. Ten would be better; |
| W1:153.19 | defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the | day. We rise up strong in Christ and let our weakness disappear as we |
| W1:153.19 | us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the | day and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength. |
| W1:155.14 | And now He asks but that you think of Him a while each | day that He may speak to you and tell you of His Love, reminding you |
| W1:156.8 | “Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a | day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. Today |
| W1:157.1 | This is a | day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your |
| W1:157.1 | has set apart to shine upon and cast a timeless light upon this | day when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it |
| W1:157.1 | timeless light upon this day when echoes of eternity are heard. This | day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a different kind of |
| W1:157.4 | for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this | day, what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but |
| W1:157.5 | From this | day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion and a glow that |
| W1:157.6 | purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this | day to light the world. We cannot give experience like this directly. |
| W1:157.8 | this journey which you make and start today with the experience this | day holds out to you to be your own. |
| W1:162.3 | own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them throughout the | day, at night bringing them with him as he goes to sleep. His dreams |
| W1:164.3 | your seeming sins forgot and all your sorrows unremembered. On this | day is grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer |
| W1:164.5 | This is the | day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies |
| W1:164.6 | Brothers, this | day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond |
| W1:164.9 | you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very | day. Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would God deceive |
| W1:168.5 | It is a new and holy | day today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in |
| W1:169.14 | prayer, yet in the world, what could be more than what we ask this | day of Him Who gives the grace we ask as it was given Him? |
| W1:R5.14 | With this we start each | day of our review. With this we start and end each period of practice |
| W1:R5.14 | once again with these same words upon our lips to greet another | day. No thought that we review but we surround with it and use the |
| W1:R5.14 | before our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the | day. And thus when we have finished this review, we will have |
| W1:I2.3 | So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a little while each | day. No more than this is asked because no more than this is needed. |
| W1:181.8 | And we will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the | day. We do not seek for long range goals. As each obstruction seems |
| W1:184.10 | Thus what you need are intervals each | day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase—a |
| W1:186.1 | Here is the statement that will one | day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of |
| W1:186.8 | bliss of loved and loving. We can laugh or weep and greet the | day with welcome or with tears. Our very being seems to change as we |
| W1:189.2 | gentle home in which to stay a while. It blesses you throughout the | day and watches through the night as silent guardian of your holy |
| W1:190.10 | This is the | day when it is given you to realize the lesson which contains all of |
| W1:192.3 | makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking that the light of | day already shines in them. And eyes already opening behold the |
| W1:193.14 | today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one | day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off |
| W1:193.14 | mercy come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off another | day, another minute, or another instant. Time was made for this. Use |
| W1:193.16 | practicing the lesson in forgiveness in the form established for the | day. And try to give it application to the happenings the hour |
| W1:199.5 | Cherish today's idea, and practice it today and every | day. Make it a part of every practice period you take. There is no |
| W1:R6.1 | For this review, we take but one idea each | day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the time we |
| W1:R6.1 | than 15 minutes, and the hourly remembrances we make throughout the | day, use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these |
| W1:R6.2 | accepted, and applied to all the seeming happenings throughout the | day. One is enough. But for that one, there must be no exceptions |
| W1:R6.5 | The | day begins and ends with this. And we repeat it every time the hour |
| W1:R6.5 | this and a repetition of the special thought we practice for the | day, no form of exercise is urged except a deep relinquishment of |
| W1:R6.7 | given up in sure and quick exchange for the idea we practice for the | day. |
| W1:R6.10 | And then repeat the idea for the | day, and let it take the place of what you thought. Beyond such |
| W1:R6.11 | and let us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we practice | day by day, advancing toward the goal He set for us, allowing Him to |
| W1:R6.11 | us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we practice day by | day, advancing toward the goal He set for us, allowing Him to teach |
| W2:I.11 | come afterwards. These special thoughts should be reviewed each | day, each one of them to be continued till the next is given you. |
| W2:I.11 | little while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants in the | day. We give the first of these instructions now. |
| W2:227.2 | return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this | day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, |
| W2:227.2 | The 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 |
| W2:232.1 | Be in my mind, my Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the | day today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And |
| W2:232.2 | This is as every | day should be. Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who |
| W2:233.2 | one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this | day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a |
| W2:233.2 | we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His | day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us. |
| W2:233.2 | day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a | day of countless gifts and mercies unto us. |
| W2:237.1 | and allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the | day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my |
| W2:241.1 | out the 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 |
| W2:242.1 | glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. This | day I give to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He |
| W2:247.2 | Self as well. Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this | day to recognize my Self. |
| W2:250.2 | and as I see him, so I see myself. Today I would see truly that this | day I may at last identify with him. |
| W2:255.1 | And yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me this | day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I |
| W2:255.2 | And so, my Father, would I pass this | day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him |
| W2:262.2 | We who are one would recognize this | day the truth about ourselves. We would come home and rest in unity. |
| W2:266.2 | This | day we enter into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our own, |
| W2:271.1 | Each | day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look |
| W2:273.1 | Perhaps we are now ready for a | day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are |
| W2:273.1 | we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a | day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn |
| W2:274.2 | blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this | day to Him and there will be no fear today because the day is given |
| W2:274.2 | Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today because the | day is given unto Love. |
| W2:275.1 | Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other | day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and |
| W2:275.1 | ancient 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 | still today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the | day that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand |
| W2:290.1 | see at last. And I would have Christ's vision come to me this very | day. What I perceive without God's own correction for the sight I |
| W2:290.1 | by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the | day I seek my present happiness and look on nothing else except the |
| W2:291.2 | This | day my mind is quiet to receive the thoughts You offer me. And I |
| W2:306.1 | What but Christ's vision would I use today when it can offer me a | day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory |
| W2:310.1 | This | day, my Father, would I spend with You, as You have chosen all my |
| W2:310.1 | is not of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This | day will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious |
| W2:310.2 | We spend this | day together, you and I. And all the world joins with us in our song |
| W2:315.1 | Each | day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am |
| W2:315.1 | me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the | day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A |
| W2:315.2 | You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and every | day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their |
| W2:330.1 | Let us this | day accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack our |
| W2:334.1 | I will not wait another | day to find the treasures which my Father offers me. Illusions must |
| W2:339.1 | ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this | day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy or fear with |
| W2:339.2 | Father, this is Your | day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your |
| W2:339.2 | Father, this is Your day. It is a | day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in |
| W2:340.1 | You for today and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. This | day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is |
| W2:340.1 | for today, my Father. I was born into this world but to achieve this | day and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for |
| W2:340.2 | but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His Son this | day! Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who will remain |
| W2:346.1 | miracles correcting my perception of all things. And so begins the | day I share with You as I will share eternity, for time has stepped |
| M:I.1 | that teaching is a constant process—it goes on every moment of the | day and continues into sleeping thoughts as well. |
| M:15.1 | will not come until it is no longer associated with fear. One | day each one will welcome it, and on that very day it will be given |
| M:15.1 | with fear. One day each one will welcome it, and on that very | day it will be given him. He will hear his sinlessness proclaimed |
| M:16.1 | There is no program, for the lessons in the curriculum change each | day. Yet he is sure of but one thing—they do not change at random. |
| M:16.1 | he rests content. He will be told all that his role should be, this | day and every day. And those who share that role with him will find |
| M:16.1 | He will be told all that his role should be, this day and every | day. And those who share that role with him will find him, so they |
| M:16.1 | role with him will find him, so they can learn the lessons for the | day together. Not one is absent whom he needs; not one is sent |
| M:16.1 | a learning goal already set, and one which can be met that very | day. For the advanced teacher of God, then, this question is |
| M:16.2 | on their own part. What must they do to learn to give the | day to God? There are some general rules which do apply, although |
| M:16.2 | Broadly speaking, then, it can be said that it is well to start the | day right. It is always possible to begin again, should the day begin |
| M:16.2 | the day right. It is always possible to begin again, should the | day begin with error, yet there are obvious advantages in terms of |
| M:16.3 | At the outset, we can safely say that time devoted to starting the | day right does indeed save time. How much time should be so spent? |
| M:16.6 | one thought in particular that should be remembered throughout the | day. It is a thought of pure joy, a thought of peace, a thought of |
| M:16.7 | How simply and how easily does the | day slip by for the teacher of God who has accepted His protection! |
| M:16.8 | yet to travel, and he has need of reminding himself throughout the | day of his protection. How can he do this, particularly during the |
| M:16.10 | statement, it is to this fact that the teacher of God devotes his | day. Each substitute he may accept as real can but deceive him. But |
| M:16.11 | sure that they have learned it. No risk is possible throughout the | day except to put your trust in magic, for it is only this that leads |
| M:16.11 | illusion—that it works. All through his training, every | day and hour, and even every minute and second, must God's teachers |
| M:29.5 | for this each morning, remember God when you can throughout the | day, ask the Holy Spirit's help when it is possible to do so, and |

| Tx:5.91 | of them have healed the sick at times, but they have not raised the | dead. Unless the healer heals himself, he does not believe that there |
| Tx:8.82 | ineffectual. “Rest in peace” is a blessing for the living, not the | dead, because rest comes from waking, not from sleeping. Sleep is |

| W1:122.3 | It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of all | dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the |
| W1:124.5 | mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the | dead as well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw |

| Tx:15.4 | who follows the ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if | death were thought of merely as an end to pain, would it be feared? |
| Tx:15.5 | together so that they seem to be reconciled. The ego teaches thus: | Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet because you and |
| Tx:15.5 | cannot be separated, and because it cannot conceive of its own | death, it will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the |
| Tx:16.33 | This is the choice they see. And love to them is only an escape from | death. They seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it |
| Tx:16.33 | it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they find the fear of | death is still upon them, the love relationship loses the illusion |
| Tx:16.52 | theme which is acted out in the special relationship. Through the | death of your self, you think you can attack another self and snatch |
| Tx:16.53 | and on his body raise another self which takes its power from his | death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is never |
| Tx:16.53 | the ritual of completion cannot complete, and life arises not from | death, nor Heaven from hell. |
| Tx:16.54 | it is—a senseless ritual in which strength is extracted from the | death of God and invested in His killer as the sign that form has |
| Tx:16.55 | No rituals that you have set up in which the dance of | death delights you can bring death to the eternal. Nor can your |
| Tx:16.55 | you have set up in which the dance of death delights you can bring | death to the eternal. Nor can your chosen substitute for the |
| Tx:16.67 | beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane could look on | death and suffering, sickness and despair and see it thus. What guilt |
| Tx:17.35 | for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in every aspect. | Death lies in this glittering gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the |
| Tx:17.35 | gleaming of the frame. Look at the picture, and realize that | death is offered you. |
| Tx:17.36 | but you do need defense against your own acceptance of the gift of | death. When you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth, |
| Tx:17.39 | other is framed for perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of | death grows less convincing as you search it out amid its wrappings. |
| Tx:18.4 | which brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to | death, was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. |
| Tx:18.55 | hate and where you have sown the seeds of vengeance, violence, and | death. This thing you made to serve your guilt stands between you and |
| Tx:19.19 | in the whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is | death, and how can the immortal die? |
| Tx:19.23 | corrupt his Father and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the | death of God, Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's wish, |
| Tx:19.50 | evil and of sin which they can find, losing none of them on pain of | death and laying them respectfully before their lord and master. |
| Tx:19.56 | your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin means | death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation is |
| Tx:19.57 | of salvation, but not its Source. No one can die for anyone, and | death does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not |
| Tx:19.61 | that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in | death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as murder. |
| Tx:19.66 | Where can guilt be, when the belief in sin is gone? And where is | death, when its great advocate is heard no more? |
| Tx:19.72 | the body's pleasure is happiness. Yet to itself it whispers, “It is | death.” |
| Tx:19.75 | as himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is his | death equally inevitable. |
| Tx:19.76 | ego's disciples to realize that they have dedicated themselves to | death. Freedom is offered them, but they have not accepted it, and |
| Tx:19.76 | along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego find the | death it seeks, returning it to you. |
| Tx:19.77 | it is given to release and be released from the dedication to | death. For it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet you must learn |
| Tx:19.77 | which peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses | death. What seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction. |
| Tx:19.77 | No one can die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the fear of | death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and fearful. |
| Tx:19.77 | on those who are attracted to it and seek it out. And so it is with | death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living |
| Tx:19.78 | in the slow procession which honors their grim master, lord of | death? Touch any one of them with the gentle hands of forgiveness and |
| Tx:19.78 | the black robe he was wearing to his funeral and hear him laugh at | death. The sentence sin would lay upon him he can escape through your |
| Tx:19.79 | God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? What is | death to you? Your dedication is not to death nor to its master. When |
| Tx:19.79 | His Will as yours? What is death to you? Your dedication is not to | death nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose |
| Tx:19.79 | the Holy Spirit's purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced | death, exchanging it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its |
| Tx:19.79 | it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its source. And | death is the result of the thought we call the ego as surely as life |
| Tx:19.80 | From the ego came sin and guilt and | death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the Will of God |
| Tx:19.80 | of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor | death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin |
| Tx:19.81 | black-draped body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to | death, a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to sin to |
| Tx:19.81 | of separation—all are part of your unrecognized dedication to | death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the body would kill it. For |
| Tx:19.83 | but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be. | Death, were it true, would be the final and complete disruption of |
| Tx:19.84 | Those who fear | death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid it |
| Tx:19.84 | they call to it and bid it come to save them from communication. For | death is seen as safety, the great dark savior from the light of |
| Tx:19.84 | the silencer of the Voice that speaks for God. Yet the retreat to | death is not the end of conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The |
| Tx:19.84 | Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for | death that peace must flow across seems to be very great. For in it |
| Tx:19.85 | to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of | death. There is no funeral, no dark altars, no grim commandments nor |
| Tx:19.85 | it to do. In its exaltation you commanded it to die, for only | death could conquer life. And what but insanity could look upon the |
| Tx:19.86 | The fear of | death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The |
| Tx:19.86 | it is yours. For it is deathless, and within it lies the end of | death. |
| Tx:19.88 | —the ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and | death. Remember then that neither sign nor symbol should be confused |
| Tx:19.89 | upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of sin and | death nor use it for destruction. Teach me how not to make of it an |
| Tx:19.90 | What would you see without the fear of | death? What would you feel and think if death held no attraction for |
| Tx:19.90 | you see without the fear of death? What would you feel and think if | death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember |
| Tx:19.91 | of blood, fades in the blazing light beyond it when the fear of | death is gone. |
| Tx:19.92 | This is the darkest veil, upheld by the belief in | death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to death and to |
| Tx:19.92 | belief in death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to | death and to its sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise made |
| Tx:19.93 | See how the belief in | death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you |
| Tx:19.93 | if this is gone, what can you fear but life? It is the attraction of | death that makes life seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are |
| Tx:19.93 | seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid of | death than of the ego. These are your chosen friends. For in your |
| Tx:19.94 | which you love as you could never love the body. And the appeal of | death is lost forever as love's attraction stirs and calls to you. |
| Tx:19.95 | of sin, the delicate appeal of guilt, the “holy” waxen image of | death, and the fear of vengeance of the ego you swore in blood not to |
| Tx:19.96 | to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming | death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from beyond |
| Tx:19.106 | in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not separate in | death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for |
| Tx:19.107 | complete release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and | death. So will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of |
| Tx:19.107 | rise again to glad remembrance of his Father, Who knows no sin, no | death, but only life eternal. |
| Tx:20.2 | of the truth and its expression. This week we celebrate life, not | death. And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God and not his |
| Tx:20.3 | We cannot be united in crucifixion and in | death. Nor can the resurrection be complete till your forgiveness |
| Tx:20.11 | no thorns nor 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 |
| Tx:20.19 | through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that | death will wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you |
| Tx:20.19 | you see yourself. A murderer is frightened, and those who kill fear | death. All these are but the fearful thoughts of those who would |
| Tx:20.28 | has none; nor to its results as this world sees them—sickness and | death and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the |
| Tx:20.43 | by remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to pain and | death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's body offers |
| Tx:20.55 | keeping it prisoner in a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto | death and given but an instant in which to sigh and grieve and die in |
| Tx:20.73 | is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the idle game of | death in your imagination. But vision sets all things right, bringing |
| Tx:20.77 | loveliness and peace; when you have looked on scenes of violence and | death and watched them change to quiet views of gardens under open |
| Tx:21.85 | And so he dies because of what he learned. He goes from life to | death, the final proof he valued the inconstant more than constancy. |
| Tx:22.18 | Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and | death to their believers. The form in which they are accepted is |
| Tx:22.22 | not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other life or | death; either you are each other's savior or his judge, offering him |
| Tx:23.8 | And if it were, is this a victory that you would want? The | death of God, if it were possible, would be your death. Is this a |
| Tx:23.8 | you would want? The death of God, if it were possible, would be your | death. Is this a victory? The ego always marches to defeat because it |
| Tx:23.22 | of sin, is that each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and | death. This principle, closely related to the first, is the demand |
| Tx:23.29 | you may have that which belongs to you. His treachery demands his | death that you may live. And you attack only in self defense. |
| Tx:23.30 | But what is it you want that needs his | death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is justified unless you |
| Tx:23.33 | the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make | death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved |
| Tx:23.33 | the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for fear and | death! |
| Tx:23.35 | How can some forms of murder not mean | death? Can an attack in any form be love? What form of condemnation |
| Tx:23.37 | life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst, like | death. Yet both are judgments on what is not life, equal in their |
| Tx:23.41 | murder and escapes the guilt the thought entails. If the intent is | death, what matter the form it takes? |
| Tx:23.42 | Is | death in any form, however lovely and charitable it may seem to be, a |
| Tx:23.46 | guns are stilled an instant and the fear that haunts the place of | death is not apparent, that it will not return. There is no safety in |
| Tx:23.47 | The fear of God is fear of life and not of | death. Yet He remains the only place of safety. In Him is no attack, |
| Tx:23.49 | the Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not | death, creating like itself. |
| Tx:24.23 | receiver. Not one glance from eyes it veils but looks on sight of | death. Not one believer in its potency but seeks for bargains and for |
| Tx:24.25 | this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The | death of specialness is not your death but your awaking into life |
| Tx:24.25 | it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is not your | death but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an |
| Tx:24.29 | ever be the same while specialness stands like a flaming sword of | death between them and makes them “enemies.” |
| Tx:24.30 | the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the | death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon |
| Tx:24.30 | to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges not even | death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must |
| Tx:24.30 | Salvation challenges not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that | death is not your will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you |
| Tx:24.32 | they sleep and call them to come forth and waken from their dream of | death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. |
| Tx:24.32 | their dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not | death, but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior |
| Tx:24.34 | to it to kill it first. And such is guilt's attraction. Here is | death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is now redemption, and |
| Tx:24.43 | delight in but to kill? What does it seek for but the sight of | death? Where does it lead but to destruction? Yet think not that it |
| Tx:24.46 | Heaven that their ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of | death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand that everyone |
| Tx:24.46 | specialness He offers you that you may save all living things from | death, receiving from each one the gift of life that your forgiveness |
| Tx:24.52 | what is not its purpose and will not escape its laws of violence and | death. Yet it is given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in |
| Tx:24.53 | Let not his specialness obscure the truth in him, for not one law of | death you bind him to will you escape. And not one sin you see in him |
| Tx:24.65 | of loveliness around your hate, and you condemn it to decay and | death. And if you see this purpose in your brother's, such is your |
| Tx:25.1 | very center of your life. What gives you life cannot be housed in | death. No more can you. Christ is within a frame of holiness whose |
| Tx:25.5 | you of yourself—your sinfulness, your evil, and above all, your | death. And would you not despise the one who tells you this and seek |
| Tx:25.5 | And would you not despise the one who tells you this and seek his | death instead? The message and the messenger are one. And you must |
| Tx:25.18 | not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of | death. God kept it safe that you might look on it and see the |
| Tx:25.19 | seeing is the vision shared that looks on Christ instead of seeing | death. |
| Tx:25.40 | you, your savior offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers | death to you. In everyone you see but the reflection of what you |
| Tx:25.50 | with glitter and with guile. Yet each one knows the cost of sin is | death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a wish to make |
| Tx:25.50 | the cost of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for | death, a wish to make this world's foundation sure as love, |
| Tx:25.51 | It cannot be the “sinner's” wish for | death is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can the basis |
| Tx:25.54 | that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to | death and cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is |
| Tx:25.62 | or you must lose to madness because your aims can not be reconciled. | Death demands life, but life is not maintained at any cost. No one |
| Tx:25.65 | of sin demand a victim. Who it may be makes little difference. But | death must be the cost and must be paid. This is not justice but |
| Tx:25.65 | could justice be defined without insanity where love means hate and | death is seen as victory and triumph over eternity and timelessness |
| Tx:25.73 | He would not allow His Son be judged by those who seek his | death and could not see his worth at all. What honest witnesses could |
| Tx:26.6 | innocence with his and die each time you see in him a sin deserving | death. |
| Tx:26.7 | a sacrifice of life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the | death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to |
| Tx:26.8 | by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or | death. For neither did he make, and only one was given him by One Who |
| Tx:26.39 | to take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of | death. No past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of |
| Tx:26.39 | of death. No past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of | death, a vault God's Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored |
| Tx:26.41 | now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and | death are real and have existence which can be perceived. This |
| Tx:26.42 | a gap at all. Such is each life—a seeming interval from birth to | death and on to life again, a repetition of an instant gone by long |
| Tx:26.44 | in sin, 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 |
| Tx:26.53 | to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role forgiveness plays in ending | death and all beliefs that rise from mists of guilt. |
| Tx:26.56 | sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world which | death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation |
| Tx:26.63 | until he chooses not to die again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses | death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every instant |
| Tx:26.64 | been given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and | death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the Son of |
| Tx:26.66 | fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the world of sin and | death. For what can save each one of us can save us all. There is no |
| Tx:26.76 | freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should deliverance be disguised as | death? Delay is senseless, and the “reasoning” which would maintain |
| Tx:26.79 | be all white and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of | death has now become a living temple in a world of light. Because of |
| Tx:27.2 | yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not escape the | death you made for him. But in his innocence, you find your own. |
| Tx:27.3 | eyes that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and | death and go before him, closing off the gate and damning him to |
| Tx:27.4 | are merciless to everyone, and in contagion do they seek to kill. | Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, brother; at |
| Tx:27.4 | at your hand I die.” For sickness is the witness to his guilt, and | death would prove his errors must be sins. |
| Tx:27.5 | Sickness is but a “little” | death; a form of vengeance not yet total. Yet it speaks with |
| Tx:27.7 | It is not will for life, but wish for | death that is the motivation for this world. Its only purpose is to |
| Tx:27.7 | life, how easily destroyed is what you love. Depression speaks of | death and vanity of real concern with anything at all. The strongest |
| Tx:27.8 | of pleasure is their righteous payment for their little lives? Their | death will pay the price for all of them if they enjoy their benefits |
| Tx:27.9 | are not sins, but witnesses unto the strange belief that sin and | death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike within the |
| Tx:27.11 | Here its peace can come and perfect healing take the place of | death. The body can become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, |
| Tx:27.11 | immortality to those grown sick of breathing in the fetid scent of | death. Let it have healing as its purpose. Then will it send forth |
| Tx:27.18 | things the world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and | death must disappear before the ancient clarion call of life. This |
| Tx:27.18 | life. This call has power far beyond the weak and miserable cry of | death and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His Son, and of |
| Tx:27.18 | the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. Brother, there is no | death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your brother that |
| Tx:27.55 | foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear but the call of | death. |
| Tx:27.57 | He love whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's | death He sends a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each |
| Tx:27.57 | the body's death He sends a witness to your life in Him Who knows no | death. Each miracle He brings is witness that the body is not real. |
| Tx:27.58 | them all as one and called by name of fear. As fear is witness unto | death, so is the miracle the witness unto life. It is a witness no |
| Tx:27.59 | a tiny stab of pain, a little worldly pleasure, and the throes of | death itself are but a single sound—a call for healing and a |
| Tx:27.70 | your destiny in time. The choice is yours to make between a sleeping | death and dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of life. What |
| Tx:27.70 | wakening and joy of life. What could you choose between but life or | death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, your dreams or your reality? |
| Tx:27.72 | ancient enemy, a murderer who stalks you in the night and plots your | death, yet plans that it be lingering and slow—of this you dream. |
| Tx:27.74 | to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of | death. He brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not who is |
| Tx:27.74 | victim. In the dreams He brings, there is no murder and there is no | death. The dream of guilt is fading from your sight, although your |
| Tx:27.76 | He represents his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and | death to you. Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts |
| Tx:28.19 | of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of | death? A dream is like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted |
| Tx:28.37 | means not to give support to someone's dream of sickness and of | death. It means that you share not his wish to separate and let him |
| Tx:28.48 | is the sharing of the evil dreams of hate and malice, bitterness and | death, of sin and suffering, [of] pain and loss, that makes them |
| Tx:28.53 | secrets and no darkened tombs where terror rises from the bones of | death. Look at the little gap, and you behold the innocence and |
| Tx:28.58 | kept God's promise, not his tiny oath to be forever faithful unto | death. And by his healing is his brother healed. |
| Tx:29.15 | and symbolizes but your wish to be alive apart from life, alive in | death, with death perceived as life, and living, death. Confusion |
| Tx:29.15 | but your wish to be alive apart from life, alive in death, with | death perceived as life, and living, death. Confusion follows on |
| Tx:29.15 | from life, alive in death, with death perceived as life, and living, | death. Confusion follows on confusion here, for on confusion has this |
| Tx:29.19 | is not dead, nor does he dwell in what was built as temple unto | death. He lives in God, and it is this that makes him savior unto |
| Tx:29.19 | this. His body's nothingness releases yours from sickness and from | death. For what is yours cannot be more nor less than what is his. |
| Tx:29.21 | who know not that they live. Within the dream of bodies and of | death is yet one theme of truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny |
| Tx:29.35 | and hope to find its peace? Your brother thinks he holds the hand of | death. Believe him not. But learn instead how blessed are you who can |
| Tx:29.36 | is given you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams of | death—a dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil |
| Tx:29.36 | 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 worship in |
| Tx:29.36 | takes in 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 |
| Tx:29.38 | end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin, and | death; of madness and of murder, grief and loss. This is the |
| Tx:29.39 | for time appointed not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and | death. Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time waits upon |
| Tx:29.41 | set no end to its fulfillment nor its changelessness. There is no | death because the living share the function their Creator gave to |
| Tx:29.42 | it was made to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a dream of | death, you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be |
| Tx:29.45 | will die and does not understand the idol that he seeks is but his | death. Its form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to |
| Tx:29.46 | betterment is cast as major beneficiary, you try to bring about your | death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and lack is death. |
| Tx:29.46 | your death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and lack is | death. To sacrifice is to give up and thus to be without and to have |
| Tx:29.47 | fall because they have no life, and what is lifeless is a sign of | death. You came to die, and what would you expect but to perceive the |
| Tx:29.47 | came to die, and what would you expect but to perceive the signs of | death you seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other |
| Tx:29.47 | that represents a parody of life which in its lifelessness is really | death, conceived as real and given living form. Yet each must fail |
| Tx:29.47 | form. Yet each must fail and crumble and decay because a form of | death cannot be life, and what is sacrificed cannot be whole. |
| Tx:29.48 | dreams in which all idols fail you one by one, and you see | death and disappointment everywhere. |
| Tx:29.50 | idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer | death. |
| Tx:29.51 | It is not so. Salvation seeks to prove there is no | death, and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. |
| Tx:29.51 | to prove there is no death, and only life exists. The sacrifice of | death is nothing lost. An idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him |
| Tx:29.55 | to change one blade of grass from something living to a sign of | death. Its form is nowhere, for its source abides within your mind, |
| Tx:29.69 | is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and for | death. |
| Tx:30.35 | it is not your will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to | death, a little creature with a little life. Your will is boundless; |
| Tx:30.37 | walks upon the earth but must depend on your decision, that he learn | death has no power over him because he shares your freedom as he |
| Tx:30.47 | by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and | death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; |
| Tx:30.58 | in any form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering and | death have been perceived as things not wanted and not striven for. |
| Tx:30.81 | not pardon. For he has become to you a graven image and a sign of | death. Is this your savior? Is his Father wrong about His Son? Or |
| Tx:31.9 | unheard. Without your answer is it left to die, as it is saved from | death when you have heard its calling as the ancient call to life and |
| Tx:31.10 | you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming call to | death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads that love |

| Tx:31.76 | Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and | death, they all are different names for just one error—that there |
| Tx:31.81 | thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and | death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing dreams and |

| W1:56.2 | I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age, and | death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear |

| W1:94.5 | Self which knows no fear nor could conceive of loss or suffering or | death. |
| W1:99.5 | does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on sin and pain and | death, on grief and separation, and on loss. Yet does He know one |
| W1:101.2 | be illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only | death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits |
| W1:101.3 | slowly, taking everything away before it grants the welcome boon of | death to victims who are little more than bones before salvation is |
| W1:101.4 | to listen and accept Its offering? If sin is real, its offering is | death and meted out in cruel form to match the vicious wishes in |
| W1:109.3 | you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and | death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering it |
| W1:110.1 | so that what God created was replaced by fear and evil, misery and | death. |
| W1:110.2 | created you, fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and | death do not exist. Today's idea is therefore all you need to let |
| W1:110.3 | cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can | death be substitute for life or fear for love. All this has not |
| W1:124.2 | at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear and | death give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point |
| W1:127.5 | the world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in | death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to eyes that see and ears that |
| W1:131.1 | the midst of danger, immortality within the darkness of the dream of | death. Who could succeed where contradiction is the setting of his |
| W1:131.3 | Pursuit of the imagined leads to | death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek |
| W1:131.3 | the search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for | death. You look for safety and security while in your heart you pray |
| W1:132.4 | your sorrows press upon it and keep it a prisoner to your beliefs. | Death strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of |
| W1:132.4 | Death strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of | death within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind |
| W1:132.8 | they can understand and recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of | death and rise to teach it. Others find it in experience that is not |
| W1:132.9 | when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of | death. |
| W1:135.19 | blessing shine in every step you ever took. While you made plans for | death, He led you gently to eternal life. |
| W1:135.27 | in your salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming | death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for |
| W1:136.12 | thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to | death. You can but choose to think you die or suffer sickness or |
| W1:137.9 | His laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to | death. |
| W1:138.7 | changes to despair, and life itself must in the end be overcome by | death. In death alone are opposites resolved, for ending opposition |
| W1:138.7 | to despair, and life itself must in the end be overcome by death. In | death alone are opposites resolved, for ending opposition is to die. |
| W1:138.7 | for ending opposition is to die. And thus salvation must be seen as | death, for life is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to |
| W1:151.16 | of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to sin and | death. Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed and |
| W1:152.7 | contradicts His Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers | death to triumph over life—all this is arrogance. Humility would |
| W1:155.7 | as truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of | death and set them on the way to happiness. Their suffering is but |
| W1:156.6 | the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and | death. In lightness and in laughter is it gone, because its quaint |

| W1:159.10 | world. It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from | death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream |
| W1:161.7 | and ultimately killed. When hatred rests upon a thing, it calls for | death as surely as God's Voice proclaims there is no death. Fear is |
| W1:161.7 | it calls for death as surely as God's Voice proclaims there is no | death. Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its eyes behold, |
| W1:162.2 | its call. And those who live and hear this sound will never look on | death. |
| W1:163.1 | Death is a thought which takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It | |
| W1:163.1 | you. All such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of | death as savior and as giver of release. |
| W1:163.2 | and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the thought of | death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things within its |
| W1:163.3 | All things but | death are seen to be unsure, too quickly lost however hard to gain, |
| W1:163.3 | and ashes in their wake in place of aspirations and of dreams. But | death is counted on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the |
| W1:163.4 | and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath the headstone | death has placed upon the body of the holy Son of God. |
| W1:163.5 | Unholy in defeat, he has become what | death would have him be. His epitaph, which death itself has written, |
| W1:163.5 | he has become what death would have him be. His epitaph, which | death itself has written, gives no name to him, for he has passed to |
| W1:163.6 | It is impossible to worship | death in any form and still select a few you would not cherish and |
| W1:163.6 | cherish and would yet avoid while still believing in the rest. For | death is total. Either all things die or else they live and cannot |
| W1:163.7 | The idea of the | death of God is so preposterous that even the insane have difficulty |
| W1:163.7 | will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to | death. And with the Father died the Son as well. |
| W1:163.8 | instantly released. And you will show them this today. There is no | death, and we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and |
| W1:163.8 | in every form for their salvation and our own as well. God made not | death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the |
| W1:163.8 | This the stand we take today. And it is given us to look past | death and see the life beyond. |
| W1:163.9 | You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no | death, for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed |
| W1:163.9 | We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no death, for | death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the |
| W1:165.1 | of the truth which lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and | death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your Father |
| W1:166.11 | Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The wish for | death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has been |
| W1:167.1 | share. Like all His thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no | death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death |
| W1:167.1 | is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no | death because an opposite to God does not exist. There is no death |
| W1:167.1 | is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. There is no | death because the Father and the Son are one. |
| W1:167.2 | 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 forms. |
| W1:167.2 | opposite. You call it death. Yet we have learned that the idea of | death takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies all |
| W1:167.2 | of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown, acknowledge | death. And thus deny you live. |
| W1:167.3 | You think that | death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is |
| W1:167.4 | Death is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is | |
| W1:167.5 | Death cannot come from life. Ideas remain united to their source. | |
| W1:167.8 | make conditions which He does not share with them. The thought of | death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by |
| W1:167.10 | and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for | death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life |
| W1:167.11 | as well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot separate in | death and leave the Source of Life from where it came. |
| W1:177.2 | [163] There is no | death. The Son of God is free. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
| W1:187.6 | and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at | death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one idea that stands |
| W1:190.1 | the sinfulness He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and | death. Can such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but |
| W1:190.3 | love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has shown that | death is victor over life. The body is the Son of God, corruptible in |
| W1:190.3 | is victor over life. The body is the Son of God, corruptible in | death, as mortal as the Father he has slain. |
| W1:190.7 | pains. Your strange desires bring it evil dreams. Your thoughts of | death envelop it in fear, while in your kind forgiveness does it live. |
| W1:191.2 | without, no breath you draw that does not seem to bring you nearer | death, no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears. |
| W1:191.3 | of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and look on evil, sin, and | death. And watch despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of |
| W1:191.6 | the world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of | death upon its heart. |
| W1:191.10 | has lighted up all dark and ancient caverns where the rites of | death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the |
| W1:191.11 | Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of | death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world |
| W1:191.12 | reflection of his holiness. And we will sleep no more and dream of | death. Then join with me today. Your glory is the light that saves |
| W1:192.4 | written there before. Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of | death is overcome because it holds no fierce attraction now, and |
| W1:192.9 | tempt you to be angry represent your savior from the prison-house of | death. And so you owe him thanks instead of pain. |
| W1:193.10 | say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and | death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say |
| W1:194.3 | Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and even | death itself. |
| W1:195.3 | is to wish for. Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in | death with you, as useless as yourself, as little left within his |
| W1:195.5 | suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of | death. All these go with you. Let us not compare ourselves with them, |
| W1:196.3 | of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of | death to thoughts of liberation and of life. |
| W1:196.11 | Now for an instant is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your | death, intent on plotting punishment for you until the time when it |
| W1:197.6 | lent but for a little while before He snatches them away again in | death. For death will have no meaning for you then. |
| W1:197.6 | for a little while before He snatches them away again in death. For | death will have no meaning for you then. |
| W1:198.4 | leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally away from | death. How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of |
| W1:198.7 | and attack appears as justified. Yet all are one—a place where | death is offered to God's Son and to his Father. You may think They |
| W2:226.1 | If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. It is not | death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the |
| W2:237.1 | that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream of | death, aware it is my Father's call to me. |
| W2:249.2 | of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and | death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us. |
| W2:WIS.3 | but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever overcome by | death, love slain by hate, and peace to be no more. |
| W2:WIS.4 | body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in | death. But all the while his Father shines on him and loves him with |
| W2:271.1 | all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from | death. For nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the |
| W2:282.1 | created me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of | death while truth remains forever living in the joy of life. And this |
| W2:WIRW.3 | What need has such a mind for thoughts of | death, attack, and murder? What can it perceive surrounding it but |
| W2:294.1 | beloved Son for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see | death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery |
| W2:300.1 | This is the thought that can be used to say that | death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here. For their |
| W2:314.1 | its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. | Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and |
| W2:328.1 | is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and loss, and | death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any |
| W2:WIE.1 | self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in | death. It is the will that sees the Will of God as enemy and takes a |
| W2:WIE.1 | “proof” that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really | death, and what opposes God alone is true. |
| W2:WIE.3 | The Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the | death of God when he abides in Him? What can he know of sorrow and of |
| W2:331.1 | can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. | Death is illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to |
| M:I.4 | and closed learning situation which teaches nothing but despair and | death, God sends His teachers. And as they teach His lessons of joy |
| M:1.4 | change the Will of God? But time, with its illusions of change and | death, wears out the world and all things in it. Yet time has an |
| M:5.2 | and powerful, eager to keep all power for Himself. Only by His | death can He be conquered by His Son. |
| M:5.3 | killed to prove to him how weak and pitiful he is. But if he chooses | death himself, his weakness is his strength. Now has he given himself |
| M:5.9 | them. Very gently they call to their brothers to turn away from | death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you |
| M:6.1 | uses sickness as a way of life, believing healing is the way to | death? When this is so, a sudden healing might precipitate intense |
| M:6.1 | try to destroy himself. Having nothing to live for, he may ask for | death. Healing must wait, for his protection. |
| M:10.6 | time and growing hopelessness; of sickening despair and fear of | death—all these have come of it. And now he knows that these things |
| M:11.1 | His Word has promised peace. It has also promised that there is no | death, that resurrection must occur, and that rebirth is man's |
| M:11.2 | salvation; your judgment would condemn it. God says there is no | death; your judgment sees but death as the inevitable end of life. |
| M:11.2 | would condemn it. God says there is no death; your judgment sees but | death as the inevitable end of life. God's Word assures you that He |
| M:17.6 | be resolved? Its ending is inevitable, for its outcome must be | death. How then can one believe in one's defenses? Magic again must |
| M:17.7 | be removed, and anyone who bears this stain on him must meet with | death. |
| M:17.9 | world. Let this grim sword be taken from you now. There is no | death. This sword does not exist. The fear of God is causeless. But |
| M:19.4 | broken off and separate. And it is this that overcomes the fear of | death. For separate fragments must decay and die, but wholeness is |
| M:20.5 | Living is joy, but | death can only weep. You see in death escape from what you made. But |

| M:20.5 | escape from what you made. But this you do not see—that you made | death, and it is but illusion of an end. Death cannot be escape, |
| M:20.5 | do not see—that you made death, and it is but illusion of an end. | Death cannot be escape, because it is not life in which the problem |
| M:20.5 | the problem lies. Life has no opposite, for it is God. Life and | death seem to be opposites, because you have decided that death ends |
| M:20.5 | Life and death seem to be opposites, because you have decided that | death ends life. Forgive the world, and you will understand that |
| M:23.2 | to this one. He has become the risen Son of God. He has overcome | death, because he has accepted life. He has recognized himself as God |
| M:24.5 | must be recognized, however, is that birth was not the beginning and | death is not the end. Yet even this much is not required of the |
| M:27.1 | Death is the central dream from which all illusions stem. Is it not | |
| M:27.2 | a god knows not of love, because he has denied that life is real. | Death has become life's symbol. His world is now a battleground where |
| M:27.2 | contradiction reigns and opposites make endless war. Where there is | death is peace impossible. |
| M:27.3 | Death is the symbol of the fear of God. His love is blotted out in | |
| M:27.3 | to be destroyed as certainly. And so do all things live because of | death. Devouring is nature's “law of life.” God is insane, and fear |
| M:27.4 | not proclaim a loving God nor re-establish any grounds for trust. If | death is real for anything, there is no life. Death denies life, but |
| M:27.4 | grounds for trust. If death is real for anything, there is no life. | Death denies life, but if there is reality in life, death is denied. |
| M:27.4 | is no life. Death denies life, but if there is reality in life, | death is denied. No compromise in this is possible. There is either a |
| M:27.4 | teachers because not one could be acceptable to God. He did not make | death, because He did not make fear. Both are equally meaningless to |
| M:27.5 | The “reality” of | death is firmly rooted in the belief that God's Son is a body. And if |
| M:27.5 | 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 loving. There is no |
| M:27.5 | and that of the world of illusions becomes more sharply evident. | Death is indeed the death of God if He is Love. And now His own |
| M:27.5 | world of illusions becomes more sharply evident. Death is indeed the | death of God if He is Love. And now His own creation must stand in |
| M:27.6 | “And the last to be overcome will be | death.” Of course! Without the idea of death, there is no world. All |
| M:27.6 | last to be overcome will be death.” Of course! Without the idea of | death, there is no world. All dreams will end with this one. This is |
| M:27.6 | This is salvation's final goal, the end of all illusions. And in | death are all illusions born. What can be born of death and still |
| M:27.6 | illusions. And in death are all illusions born. What can be born of | death and still have life? But what is born of God and still can die? |
| M:27.6 | and the rituals the world fosters in its vain attempts to cling to | death and yet to think love real are mindless magic, ineffectual and |
| M:27.7 | one assignment could be stated thus: accept no compromise in which | death plays a part. Do not believe in cruelty nor let attack conceal |
| M:27.7 | any changing form. Truth neither moves nor wavers nor sinks down to | death and dissolution. And what is the end of death? Nothing but |
| M:27.7 | nor sinks down to death and dissolution. And what is the end of | death? Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of God is |
| M:28.1 | Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of | death. It is a reawakening or a rebirth, a change of mind about the |
| M:28.2 | The resurrection is the denial of | death, being the assertion of life. Thus is all the thinking of the |
| M:28.4 | for the time of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no | death. The Son of God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. |

| Tx:8.28 | and accepting God. My will is His, and your will to hear me is the | decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. As God sent me to |
| Tx:8.31 | you determine your own condition, because will is the mechanism of | decision. It is the power by which you separate or join and |
| Tx:8.46 | want? You made neither yourself nor your function. You made only the | decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you could not make yourself |
| Tx:8.97 | that God demands sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane | decision will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, |
| Tx:8.103 | though you do not want it. But consider the result of this strange | decision. You are devoting your mind to what you do not want. How |
| Tx:8.111 | to you. What does he say to you? What would you have him say? Your | decision about him determines the message you receive. Remember that |
| Tx:9.18 | that his only hope is to change his mind about reality. Only if the | decision that reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I |
| Tx:9.50 | except in terms of attack. When it experiences threat, its only | decision is whether to attack now or to withdraw to attack later. If |
| Tx:9.63 | Then accept His | decision, for it is indeed changeless, and refuse to change your mind |
| Tx:9.68 | precedes dissociation, and dissociation is nothing more than a | decision to forget. What has been forgotten then appears to be |
| Tx:9.69 | of reality brings more than merely lack of fear. In this | decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy |
| Tx:9.72 | is self-attack. It cannot be anything else. Arising from your own | decision not to be what you are, it is an attack on your |
| Tx:9.73 | this makes of your peace of mind, you could not make such an insane | decision. You make it only because you still believe that it can get |
| Tx:9.73 | have not considered what it must be. Yet the logical outcome of your | decision is perfectly clear if you will look at it. By deciding |
| Tx:10.1 | Nothing alive is fatherless, for life is creation. Therefore, your | decision is always an answer to the question, “Who is my father?” And |
| Tx:11.34 | do have control over your mind since the mind is the mechanism of | decision. If you will recognize that all attack which you perceive is |
| Tx:11.54 | will to do so, and therefore you can decide otherwise. As it was my | decision, so is it yours. |
| Tx:11.69 | the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to your | decision about reality, returning to you the message you gave them. |
| Tx:11.70 | The power of | decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this world. |
| Tx:11.70 | the power to give something else within yourself. It was only this | decision that determined what you found, for it was the decision of |
| Tx:11.70 | only this decision that determined what you found, for it was the | decision of what you sought. |
| Tx:11.72 | decide, so will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your | decision. |
| Tx:12.28 | in the present in retaliation for a past that is no more. And this | decision is one of future pain. Unless you learn that past pain is |
| Tx:13.49 | perceive the need for this if you will realize that to deny is the | decision not to know. The logic of the world must therefore lead to |
| Tx:13.68 | Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the | decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all that is |
| Tx:13.68 | guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of | decision is all that is yours. What you can decide between is fixed |
| Tx:13.73 | make decisions for yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the | decision will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of |
| Tx:13.73 | decision will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of | decision which led to it. It is not true that you can make decisions |
| Tx:13.73 | of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every | decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and out and |
| Tx:13.76 | Would you deny the truth of God's | decision and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself in place of His |
| Tx:13.77 | it is. Only His wisdom is capable of guiding you to follow it. Every | decision you undertake alone but signifies that you would define what |
| Tx:13.77 | protector of your innocence, which sets you free. And it is His | decision to undo everything that would obscure your innocence from |
| Tx:13.78 | and will decide against your peace as surely as you made the wrong | decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation |
| Tx:13.78 | you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He will make every | decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace of God in you. |
| Tx:13.80 | all that you cannot know when all knowledge lies behind every | decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and |
| Tx:13.81 | and with love for everyone who will be touched in any way by the | decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole |
| Tx:14.20 | All this, and nothing else, would He separate from you. The power of | decision, which you made in place of the power of creation, He would |
| Tx:14.38 | it? The making of time to take the place of timelessness lay in the | decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made past, and the |
| Tx:15.24 | You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every | decision which you make stems from what you think you are and |
| Tx:15.26 | be asked you by the Holy Spirit in you every time you make a | decision. For every decision you make does answer this and invites |
| Tx:15.26 | by the Holy Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every | decision you make does answer this and invites sorrow or joy |
| Tx:15.27 | to the ego cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every | decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and will bring you |
| Tx:15.37 | His plan, which you must fulfill if you would join with me, by your | decision to join in any plan but His. I call you to fulfill your holy |
| Tx:15.95 | or hostage to God. This is the choice you think you have, and the | decision which you believe that you must make. |
| Tx:15.100 | tried many compromises in the attempt to avoid recognizing the one | decision which must be made. And yet it is the recognition of the |
| Tx:15.100 | decision which must be made. And yet it is the recognition of the | decision just as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is |
| Tx:15.100 | it is the recognition of the decision just as it is that makes the | decision so easy! Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore |
| Tx:16.34 | does not matter. Where one choice is as dangerous as the other, the | decision must be one of despair. |
| Tx:16.56 | Remember this and you will have no difficulty in perceiving the | decision as just what it is and nothing more. |
| Tx:16.57 | cannot know yourself, who shares its meaning. Separation is only the | decision not to know yourself. Its whole thought system is a |
| Tx:16.57 | you correction and complete escape from all its consequences. The | decision whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but |
| Tx:16.58 | are totally unreal. This year is thus the time to make the easiest | decision that ever confronted you and also the only one. You will |
| Tx:16.58 | and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural | decision as this is realized. |
| Tx:18.40 | Forget not that it has been your | decision to make everything that is natural and easy for you |
| Tx:19.106 | that we might meet here in this holy place and make the same | decision. |
| Tx:19.109 | Nor is it given anything in hell or Heaven to interfere with his | decision. |
| Tx:21.17 | the happenings that come to him were not his choice. His power of | decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to |
| Tx:21.17 | you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of | decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the little |
| Tx:21.36 | another point of view be given them. The miracles which follow this | decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from |
| Tx:21.77 | be the one you chose to be protected from attack. And what is this | decision but the choice whether to see him through the body's eyes or |
| Tx:21.77 | body's eyes or let him be revealed to you through vision? How this | decision leads to its effects is not your problem. But what you want |
| Tx:21.80 | This is your one | decision; this the condition for what occurs. It is irrelevant to how |
| Tx:21.83 | it be necessary they be asked so often, if they had? Until the last | decision has been made, the answer is both “yes” and “no.” For you |
| Tx:22.21 | Not both, but one. There is no point in trying to avoid this one | decision. It must be made. Faith and belief can fall to either side, |
| Tx:22.25 | Behold the great projection, but look on it with the | decision that it must be healed and not with fear. Nothing you made |
| Tx:22.38 | can no longer serve. No one who reaches this far can make the wrong | decision, but he can delay. And there is no part of the journey that |
| Tx:22.52 | the outcome as He is sure of His Creator's love. He knows this mad | decision was made by one as dear to His Creator as love is to itself. |
| Tx:24.2 | No belief is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate each | decision you make. For a decision is a conclusion based on everything |
| Tx:24.2 | Every one has the power to dictate each decision you make. For a | decision is a conclusion based on everything that you believe. It is |
| Tx:24.4 | conflicting outcomes are impossible. But an unrecognized belief is a | decision to war in secret, where the results of conflict are kept |
| Tx:24.4 | decide to leave it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least | decision to choose attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to |
| Tx:24.8 | Can love have meaning where the goal is triumph? And what | decision can be made for this that will not hurt you? Your brother is |
| Tx:24.55 | and through time which seems to have no end until the truth be your | decision. For eternity is not regained by still one more denial of |
| Tx:25.6 | and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety lies, at your | decision. It reveals yourself to you as you would have you be. And |
| Tx:25.52 | it differently nor twist it into something it is not. For only this | decision can you make. The rest is up to God and not to you. |
| Tx:26.21 | perception—it has no meaning and does not exist. This is not your | decision. It is but a simple statement of a simple fact. But in this |
| Tx:28.29 | mind agrees that they are separate. And thus it is their joint | decision to be sick. If you withhold agreement and accept the part |
| Tx:30.4 | Today I will make no | decision by myself. |
| Tx:30.8 | If I make no | decision by myself, This is the day that will be given me. |
| Tx:30.14 | by yourself the rules which promise you a happy day. Yet this | decision still can be undone by simple methods which you can accept. |
| Tx:30.29 | not to make decisions by yourself. This seems to be a real | decision in itself. And yet, you cannot make decisions by yourself. |
| Tx:30.32 | be wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that makes | decision powerful and gives it all effects that it will ever have. It |
| Tx:30.32 | have. It needs but two. These two are joined before there can be a | decision. Let this be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you |
| Tx:30.32 | it yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the world by your | decision for a happy day. And as you have received, so must you give. |
| Tx:30.37 | is healed. And no one walks upon the earth but must depend on your | decision, that he learn death has no power over him because he shares |
| Tx:31.11 | What is temptation but a wish to make the wrong | decision on what you would learn and have an outcome that you do not |
| Tx:31.14 | you are. For there are steps in its relinquishment. The first is a | decision that you make. But afterwards the truth is given you. You |
| Tx:31.37 | For while he sees a choice where there is none, what power of | decision can he use? The great release of power must begin with |
| Tx:31.37 | power must begin with learning where it really has a use. And what | decision has power if it be applied in situations without choice? |
| Tx:31.40 | again. This course attempts to teach no more than that the power of | decision cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is still the |
| Tx:31.55 | from the first is that you somehow entered in the choice by your | decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for now you |
| W1:20.3 | Your | decision to see is all that vision requires. What you want is yours. |
| W1:53.5 | perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my | decision and recognize where I really abide. |
| W1:64.6 | Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a simple | decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form of the |
| W1:64.6 | simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form of the | decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of |
| W1:64.6 | form does not imply complexity of content. It is impossible that any | decision on earth can have a content different from just this one |
| W1:68.1 | you are. To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body. It is the | decision to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to |
| W1:70.7 | be a good time to lay aside for each of them and adhere to your own | decision as closely as possible. |
| W1:78.1 | Perhaps it is not yet quite clear to you that each | decision that you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each |
| W1:88.2 | I merely choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a | decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. |
| W1:129.11 | at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember your | decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying |
| W1:130.5 | But one remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your | decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there is to |
| W1:133.13 | but a screen of smoke which hides the very simple fact that no | decision can be difficult. |
| W1:136.5 | have forgot can be remembered, given willingness to reconsider the | decision which is doubly shielded by oblivion. Your not remembering |
| W1:136.5 | shielded by oblivion. Your not remembering is but the sign that this | decision still remains in force as far as your desires are concerned. |
| W1:136.7 | again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your own | decision of what should be real, to take the place of what is real. |
| W1:136.8 | Sickness is a | decision. It is not a thing that happens to you quite unsought, which |
| W1:136.10 | hell, and God's design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a | decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, the Father |
| W1:137.3 | In sickness must he be apart and separate. But healing is his own | decision to be one again and to accept his Self with all its parts |
| W1:138.3 | Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as opposites. | Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim of effort and |
| W1:138.3 | goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without | decision, time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for |
| W1:138.11 | we wake and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one | decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious choice |
| W1:138.12 | And now we give the last five minutes of our waking day to the | decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared |
| W1:138.13 | Heaven is the | decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my mind, |
| W1:139.1 | Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a | decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is choice |
| W1:149.2 | [138] Heaven is the | decision I must make. |
| W1:152.1 | No one can suffer loss unless it be his own | decision. No one suffers pain except his choice elects this state for |
| W1:152.8 | humble and accept what we have made as what it is. The power of | decision is our own. Decide but to accept your rightful place as |
| W1:152.10 | us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in love. The power of | decision is our own. And we accept of Him that which we are and |
| W1:152.13 | The power of | decision is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's |
| W1:154.1 | judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold | decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our |
| W1:171.3 | [152] The power of | decision is my own. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
| W2:238.1 | You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands and let it rest on my | decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in |
| W2:282.1 | this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. This the | decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my |
| M:2.5 | learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one | decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person |
| M:3.3 | seems to begin to change his mind about the world with the single | decision, and then learns more and more about the new direction as he |
| M:5.2 | pay for something of greater worth. For sickness is an election, a | decision. It is the choice of weakness in the mistaken conviction |
| M:5.4 | body. If sickness is but a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a | decision. And if it is a decision, it is the mind and not the body |
| M:5.4 | a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a decision. And if it is a | decision, it is the mind and not the body that makes it. The |
| M:5.5 | The acceptance of sickness as a | decision of the mind for a purpose for which it would use the body is |
| M:12.5 | is done, it is laid by, and that is all. The mind makes this | decision, as it makes all decisions which are responsible for the |
| M:12.5 | for the body's condition. Yet the teacher of God does not make this | decision alone. To do that would be to give the body another purpose |
| M:13.3 | God's Word could this be possible. For self-condemnation is a | decision about identity, and no one doubts what he believes he is. He |
| M:13.8 | God, do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember what each | decision you make must mean in terms of cost. Decide for God, and |
| M:21.3 | illusions in his heart, all this becomes his own. The power of his | decision offers it to him, as he requests. Herein lie hell and |
| M:22.4 | Certainly sickness does not appear to be a | decision. Nor would anyone actually believe he wants to be sick. |

| W1:139.10 | Five minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to | dedicate our minds to our assignment for today. We start with this |
| W2:FL.3 | And to this purpose let us | dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function |
dedicated (18) | ||
| Tx:14.38 | be not as you were. Thus, truth was made past, and the present was | dedicated to illusion. And the past, too, was changed and interposed |
| Tx:15.68 | unrewarding chain of special relationships, forged out of anger and | dedicated to but one insane belief—that the more anger you invest |
| Tx:15.73 | In their angry alliances, born of the fear of loneliness and yet | dedicated to the continuance of loneliness, they seek relief from |
| Tx:17.69 | faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his part in any situation | dedicated in advance to truth, your dedication is divided. And so you |
| Tx:19.1 | We said before that when a situation has been | dedicated wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the |
| Tx:19.1 | that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is wholly | dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by faith. |
| Tx:19.5 | obstacles that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly | dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is |
| Tx:19.75 | and believe not the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has | dedicated the body to the goal of sin and places in it all its faith |
| Tx:19.76 | It is not given to the ego's disciples to realize that they have | dedicated themselves to death. Freedom is offered them, but they have |
| Tx:19.80 | Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the insane, | dedicated to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One thing |
| Tx:19.81 | And what is the black-draped body they would bury? A body which they | dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, |
| Tx:19.83 | You who are | dedicated to the incorruptible have been given through your |
| Tx:20.50 | and kept apart from those who worship them. This is the temple | dedicated to no relationships and no return. Here is the “mystery” of |
| Tx:21.57 | The part of mind where reason lies was | dedicated by your will in union with your Father's to the undoing of |
| Tx:22.52 | freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is | dedicated to serve illusions. This is a situation so contradictory |
| W1:45.11 | only one thing is necessary—approach it as you would an altar | dedicated in Heaven itself to God the Father and God the Son. For |
| W1:R2.4 | side-tracked into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death. You are | dedicated to salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your |
| M:23.6 | the limitations we have laid on us. No one who has become a true and | dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet what he can offer |

| Tx:17.69 | his part in any situation dedicated in advance to truth, your | dedication is divided. And so you have been faithless to each other |
| Tx:19.1 | Its attainment is the criterion by which the wholeness of the | dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without |
| Tx:19.1 | must be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and your | dedication incomplete. |
| Tx:19.5 | is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial | dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion |
| Tx:19.7 | and illusion in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as | dedication to illusion and given up when brought to truth and seen as |

| Tx:19.77 | Holy Spirit entered, it is given to release and be released from the | dedication to death. For it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet |
| Tx:19.78 | living? They but walk past, and it is gone. But what of those whose | dedication it is not to live—the black-draped “sinners,” the ego's |
| Tx:19.79 | to you who chose His Will as yours? What is death to you? Your | dedication is not to death nor to its master. When you accepted the |
| Tx:19.81 | the sepulcher of separation—all are part of your unrecognized | dedication to death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the body |
| Tx:19.82 | You have another | dedication which would keep the body incorruptible and perfect as |
| Tx:19.92 | upheld by the belief in death and protected by its attraction. The | dedication to death and to its sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the |
| Tx:24.60 | a burden wearisome and tedious, too heavy to be borne. Yet to the | dedication to the truth as God established it no sacrifice is asked, |
| Tx:28.3 | skills without an application. They await their use. They have no | dedication and no aim. |
| Tx:30.2 | wake, will put you well ahead. And if you find resistance strong and | dedication weak, you are not ready. Do not fight yourself. But think |
| W1:76.12 | there are no laws but God's. Then we will tell ourselves as a | dedication with which the practice period concludes: |
| W1:76.14 | We will repeat this | dedication as often as possible today—at least four or five times |
| W1:98.1 | Today is a day of special | dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth |
| W1:98.7 | join with yours and make each repetition of today's idea a total | dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His in you. |
| W1:139.13 | Creator and His oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our | dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts |
| W1:I2.1 | scattered goals blend into one intent. You are not asked for total | dedication all the time, as yet. But you are asked to practice now in |
| M:26.3 | that this endure. It can, perhaps, be won after much devotion and | dedication and then be maintained for most of the time on earth. But |
dedications (1) | ||
| W1:R2.4 | Regard these practice periods as | dedications to the way, the truth, and the life. Refuse to be |

| W1:186.4 | that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He | deems us worthy, so we are. It is but arrogance that judges otherwise. |

| Tx:11.11 | Fear is a symptom of your | deep sense of loss. If when you perceive it in others you learn to |
| Tx:13.37 | no variation. There is no interruption. There is a sense of peace so | deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim |

| Tx:25.68 | They do believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of love. And | deep suspicion and the chill of fear comes over them when they are |
| Tx:26.87 | and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who ask this of yourself in | deep injustice to the Son of God. You have no enemy except yourself, |

| Tx:31.73 | and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter sense of | deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed unless you |
| W1:41.1 | is an inevitable consequence of separation. So are anxiety, worry, a | deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of |
| W1:41.2 | foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. | Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate |
| W1:41.4 | you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden | deep within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and |

| Tx:10.56 | system transcends its source. Yet reasoning without meaning cannot | demonstrate anything, and those who are convinced by it must be |

| Tx:10.57 | they have beheld God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need | demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His |
| Tx:11.2 | ego-involvement. The whole process represents a clear-cut attempt to | demonstrate your own ability to understand what you perceive. This is |

| Tx:17.79 | from it. Your release is certain. Give as you have received. And | demonstrate that you have risen far beyond any situation that could |

| Tx:2.19 | This is the proper use of | denial. It is not used to hide anything but to correct error. It |

| Tx:2.19 | can and should deny any belief that error can hurt you. This kind of | denial is not a concealment device but a correction device. The |

| Tx:4.49 | made, and what you made does not love you. Being made out of the | denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance to its own maker. You |

| Tx:9.98 | if you recognized your love for Him, you could not deny Him. Your | denial of Him therefore means that you love Him and that you know He |
| Tx:9.98 | Remember that what you deny, you must have known. And if you accept | denial, you can accept its undoing. |
| Tx:9.106 | That is why to deny Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is the | denial of love, because love shares and arrogance withholds. As long |
| Tx:10.7 | has no voids. It continues forever, however much it is denied. Your | denial of its reality arrests it in time but not in eternity. That is |
| Tx:10.17 | every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the | denial of God's Fatherhood and your Sonship. |
| Tx:10.18 | And | denial is as total as love. You cannot deny part of yourself because |
| Tx:10.34 | is truly the beginning of the dawn of light. Remember also that the | denial of this simple fact takes many forms, and these you must learn |

| Tx:11.11 | of which you are capable. One is false, for it was made out of | denial, and denial depends on the real belief in what is denied for |
| Tx:11.11 | you are capable. One is false, for it was made out of denial, and | denial depends on the real belief in what is denied for its own |

| Tx:11.21 | together. For perfection is and cannot be denied. To deny the | denial of perfection is not so difficult as the denial of truth, and |
| Tx:11.21 | denied. To deny the denial of perfection is not so difficult as the | denial of truth, and what we can accomplish together must be believed |

| Tx:11.85 | and escape the penalty of denial. It is not an attempt to relinquish | denial but to hold on to it. For it is guilt that has obscured the |

| Tx:13.49 | done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a world made of | denial and without direction. You will perceive the need for this if |
| Tx:14.1 | is the condition for knowing Him. Accepting His Son as guilty is | denial of the Father so complete that knowledge is swept away from |
| Tx:14.7 | calling here is to devote yourself with active willingness to the | denial of guilt in all its forms. To accuse is not to understand. The |
| Tx:14.32 | hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt and in the dark | denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies |
| Tx:14.38 | now. The past which you remember never was and represents only the | denial of what always was. |

| Tx:22.14 | And truth came instantly to show you where your Self must be. It is | denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to |
| Tx:24.55 | be your 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 |
| Tx:26.76 | of present cause must be delayed until a future time is merely a | denial of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one. Look |
| W1:79.5 | resolved the previous ones. Others remain unsolved under a cloud of | denial and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden |
| W1:91.2 | there. This follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. | Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive |
| W1:134.1 | righteous wrath, a gift unjustified and undeserved, and a complete | denial of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere |
| W1:135.15 | to realize in some forms which these self-deceptions take, for the | denial of reality is very obvious. Yet planning is not often |

| Tx:16.46 | God and the attempt to secure for the self the specialness which He | denied. It is essential to the preservation of the ego that you |

| Tx:17.6 | from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth what was | denied by both of you. And you will see forgiveness where you have |
| Tx:17.54 | you still. And by cutting yourself off from its expression, you have | denied yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every time you attack |

| Tx:18.69 | way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time | denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for |

| Tx:20.36 | trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be | denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you |
| Tx:20.65 | judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack vision and have | denied the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How |

| Tx:23.43 | of salvation's purpose is lost because it is not recognized. It is | denied where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the |

| Tx:25.70 | to set them free and give them all the honor they deserve and have | denied themselves because they are not fair and cannot understand |
| Tx:25.85 | unjust to one with equal rights. Seek to deny, and you will feel | denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A miracle can |

| Tx:30.42 | not whole cannot make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be | denied. Your will is granted. Not in any form that would content you |

| W1:124.6 | No miracle can ever be | denied to those who know that they are one with God. No thought of |

| W1:153.7 | Defensiveness is weakness. It proclaims you have | denied the Christ and come to fear His Father's anger. What can save |

| W1:160.5 | How simply, then, the question is resolved. Who fears has but | denied himself and said, “I am the stranger here. And so I leave my |

| W1:189.9 | minds His love will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been | denied is surely there if it be true, and can be surely reached. God |
| W1:190.3 | is a sign illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates God is | denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad, and seen as traitor to |

| W1:191.4 | Yet what is it except a game you play in which identity can be | denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is |
| W1:191.13 | until you find it for yourself. They suffer pain until you have | denied its hold on you. They die till you accept your own eternal |
| W1:197.9 | with Him the holy thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have | denied yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. But |
| W1:R6.7 | is not what it would have. Then gently let the thought which you | denied be given up in sure and quick exchange for the idea we |

| M:13.7 | that points to God. It is its holiness that makes you safe. It is | denied if you attack any brother for anything. For it is here the |

| Tx:11.14 | could not be sick. The task of the miracle-worker thus becomes to | deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the |
| Tx:11.21 | of perfection together. For perfection is and cannot be denied. To | deny the denial of perfection is not so difficult as the denial of |

| Tx:13.49 | You will perceive the need for this if you will realize that to | deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the world must |
| Tx:13.52 | you where the Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you | deny which He knows to be true, you have denied yourself, and He must |
| Tx:13.52 | you have denied yourself, and He must therefore teach you not to | deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were created only to |
| Tx:13.63 | is so compelling that you will realize it is impossible to | deny the simple truth. For there is nothing else. God is everywhere, |
| Tx:13.72 | will learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to | deny the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The power |
| Tx:13.76 | Would you | deny the truth of God's decision and place your pitiful appraisal of |
| Tx:14.5 | ones who denied Him with you? God makes this possible. Would you | deny His yearning to be known? You yearn for Him, as He for you. This |

| Tx:14.75 | you must be convinced you did them through Him. It is impossible to | deny the Source of effects so powerful they could not be of you. |
| Tx:15.21 | power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never | deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe bows to |
| Tx:15.21 | it but for one instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can | deny the Presence of what the universe bows to in appreciation and |
| Tx:15.26 | you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for the little, and you | deny yourself His power. God is not willing that His Son be content |
| Tx:15.27 | He has not left you, and you have not left Him. All your attempts to | deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make |
| Tx:15.41 | private thoughts and keep them? The only way you could do that is to | deny the perfect communication that makes the holy instant what it |
| Tx:15.46 | be alone is to be guilty. For to experience yourself as alone is to | deny the oneness of the Father and his Son and thus to attack reality. |

| Tx:21.28 | you together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you | deny your whole reality. But grant that everything which seems to |
| Tx:21.59 | correction. If it can correct and you allow it not to do so, you | deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this same |
| Tx:21.69 | if he be free already? And who could bind him but himself if he | deny his freedom? God is not mocked; no more His Son can be |
| Tx:22.14 | Self must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to | deny illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the |
| Tx:22.56 | you bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can | deny himself the vision that he brings to others? And who would fail |
| Tx:22.60 | the welfare of the world. And it is only arrogance that would | deny the power of your will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? |
| Tx:23.12 | nor can they threaten it in any way. And the reality which they | deny is not a part of them. |
| Tx:23.41 | guilt and frantic fear of punishment the murderer must feel? He may | deny he is a murderer and justify his savagery with smiles as he |
| Tx:24.4 | more inclusive than you think, are there by your election. Do not | deny their presence nor their terrible results. All that can be |
| Tx:24.20 | and yours are enemies and bound in hate to kill each other and | deny they are the same. Yet it is not illusions which have reached |
| Tx:24.33 | for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on Himself. | Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will be done. They seek |
| Tx:24.62 | his specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs does he | deny to what he loves. And while it calls to him, he hears no other |
| Tx:25.53 | To justify one value that the world upholds is to | deny your Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved Son do |
| Tx:25.58 | this because the form of the alternative is one which he cannot | deny nor overlook nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each his |
| Tx:25.85 | to them because you were unjust to one with equal rights. Seek to | deny, and you will feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been |
| Tx:26.14 | resolution, you have made it great and past the hope of healing. You | deny the miracle of justice can be fair. |

| Tx:27.31 | brother that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to | deny, love, or hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The |
| Tx:27.58 | so is the miracle the witness unto life. It is a witness no one can | deny, for it is the effects of life it brings. The dying live, the |
| Tx:27.70 | 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 indeed it is, |
| Tx:28.10 | understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His Son. You would | deny Him His effects, yet have they never been denied. There was no |
| Tx:28.27 | the dream's alternative, the choice to be the dreamer rather than | deny the active role in making up the dream. They are the glad |
| Tx:28.49 | your own Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you will | deny your Self and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator did |
| Tx:28.61 | of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you | deny yourself your wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the |
| Tx:29.21 | perfection? Or are you the proof that He is perfect and complete? | Deny Him not His witness in the dream His Son prefers to his reality. |

| Tx:25.83 | No one | deserves to lose. And what would be unjust to him cannot occur. |
| Tx:25.83 | of any kind. What order can there be in miracles, unless someone | deserves to suffer more and others less? And is this justice to the |
| Tx:26.14 | justice. If the Son of God is guilty, then is he condemned, and he | deserves no mercy from the God of justice. But ask not God to punish |

| Tx:18.30 | the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our | desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that |
| Tx:18.30 | hinder. You have gone past fear, for no two minds can join in the | desire for love without love's joining them. |
| Tx:18.31 | great light has joined with you to give the little spark of your | desire the power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are |
| Tx:18.32 | the result of your determination to be holy. It is the answer. The | desire and the willingness to let it come precedes its coming. You |
| Tx:18.48 | I | desire this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my |
| Tx:18.62 | it. The sudden expansion of the self which takes place with your | desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy instant holds. It |

| Tx:19.40 | The first obstacle that peace must flow across is your | desire to get rid of it. For it cannot extend unless you keep it. You |
| Tx:19.59 | We said that peace must first surmount the obstacle of your | desire to get rid of it. Where the attraction of guilt holds sway, |
| Tx:19.94 | love beneath, and so the fear is gone. And so it is with this. The | desire to get rid of peace and drive the Holy Spirit from you fades |
| Tx:19.96 | to you against your will. It is your will to look on this. No mad | desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the |
| Tx:20.62 | cherished. Vision adapts to wish, for sight is always secondary to | desire. And if you see the body, you have chosen judgment and not |

| Tx:21.25 | and feelings 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. |
| Tx:21.25 | your own Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the same | desire. The Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he |

| Tx:21.41 | because of this. Your faith that sin is there but witnesses to your | desire that it be there to see. This merely seems to be the source of |

| Tx:21.86 | Yet if you could even imagine what it must be, you would | desire it although you understand it not. |
| Tx:21.87 | it so. Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its own | desire cannot be shaken. It comes as surely unto those who see the |
| Tx:21.88 | you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what you | desire you receive and happiness is constant, then you need ask for |
| Tx:21.88 | what it is, you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his | desire of something he believes holds out some promise of the power |
| Tx:21.88 | wrong in what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he will ask because | desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself |
| Tx:21.88 | wants. Yet what he is uncertain of, God cannot give. For he does not | desire it while he remains uncertain, and God's giving must be |
| Tx:21.90 | given. Here is the future now, for time is powerless because of your | desire for what will never change. For you have asked that nothing |
| Tx:22.27 | will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the | desire that anything be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and |
| Tx:22.37 | must become impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his | desire to have sin real. Yet reason sees a holy relationship as what |
| Tx:22.62 | And this belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the | desire to attack in safety? Attack is neither safe nor dangerous. It |

| Tx:25.8 | Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad | desire to be separate, different, and special, to the Christ, to make |
| Tx:25.37 | The state of sinlessness is merely this: the whole | desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive the |
| Tx:27.19 | a foolish wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your | desire to see your brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt |
| Tx:28.2 | without a cause. Why would you cling to it in memory if you did not | desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as perception, being |
| Tx:28.4 | past. If you would have it there, then there it is. But only your | desire made the link, and only you have held it to a part of time |
| Tx:28.18 | and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For this impossible | desire, he does not believe that he is Love's effect and must be |
| Tx:28.43 | one. No one is sick if someone else accepts his union with him. His | desire to be a sick and separated mind cannot remain without a |

| Tx:10.66 | head. Yet you cannot crucify God's Son, for the Will of God cannot | die. His Son has been redeemed from his own crucifixion, and you |
| Tx:10.70 | And being loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot | die. The real world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary |

| Tx:11.76 | tempted to yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not | die. You will realize that this is true when you look within and see |

| Tx:12.36 | recognize that they have condemned themselves. They do not wish to | die, yet they will not let condemnation go. And so they separate into |
| Tx:16.33 | not share with others, are trying to live with guilt rather than | die of it. This is the choice they see. And love to them is only an |
| Tx:16.52 | occur. The central theme in its litany to sacrifice is that God must | die so you can live. And it is this theme which is acted out in the |
| Tx:18.77 | ruler of all he surveys who looks on nothing, yet who would still | die to defend it? This little self is not your kingdom. Arched high |
| Tx:19.19 | impossible. For the wages of sin is death, and how can the immortal | die? |
| Tx:19.56 | forgiven me. For I became the symbol of your sin, and so I had to | die instead of you. To the ego sin means death, and so Atonement is |
| Tx:19.57 | means for communication of salvation, but not its Source. No one can | die for anyone, and death does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to |
| Tx:19.75 | Not one but must regard the body as himself, without which he would | die, and yet within which is his death equally inevitable. |
| Tx:19.77 | the third of the obstacles which peace must flow across. No one can | die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the fear of death is |

| Tx:23.46 | desire to communicate and the unnatural intent to murder and to | die. Think you the form that murder takes can offer safety? Can guilt |
| Tx:24.32 | curse God because He did not make their dream reality. Curse God and | die, but not by Him Who made not death, but only in the dream. Open |
| Tx:25.34 | of guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and | die will disappear before the sun you bring. |

| Tx:26.7 | and given life again. His holiness gives life to you, who cannot | die because his sinlessness is known to God and can no more be |
| Tx:26.14 | not God to punish him because you find him guilty and would have him | die. God offers you the means to see his innocence. Would it be fair |
| Tx:26.40 | free as God created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to | die instead of live. And will you not forgive him now because he made |
| Tx:26.42 | instant when the time of terror was replaced by love. And so you | die each day to live again until you cross the gap between past and |
| Tx:26.63 | Each instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to | die again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what |
| Tx:27.4 | an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I | die.” For sickness is the witness to his guilt, and death would prove |
| Tx:27.47 | fearful, for you have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it to | die. Would not a world so bitterly bereft be looked on as a |
| Tx:28.55 | you want but never makes the choice. It is not born and does not | die. It can but follow aimlessly the path on which it has been set. |

| Tx:29.41 | function their Creator gave to them. Life's function cannot be to | die. It must be life's extension, that it be as one forever and |

| Tx:15.95 | of them. When you are willing to regard them not as separate but as | different manifestations of the same idea, and one you do not want, |
| Tx:15.112 | so long left unfulfilled, in the Great Awakening. Make this year | different by making it all the same. And let all your relationships |
| Tx:16.1 | Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His way. [His way is very | different.] He does not understand suffering and would have you teach |
| Tx:16.21 | it was untrue. And He must have done so from the basis of a very | different thought system and one with nothing in common with yours. |
| Tx:16.63 | Across the bridge, it is so | different! For a time the body is still seen but not exclusively, as |
| Tx:17.1 | in reality, but they can do so in the mind that would have reality | different. |
| Tx:17.8 | that you could not believe it is the meeting place of worlds so | different. Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches |
| Tx:17.28 | glorifies yours instead of His because of the delusion that they are | different. |
| Tx:17.32 | one remains, you will not let the others go. For this one is not | different. Retain this one, and you have retained the whole. |
| Tx:18.2 | Substitution is clearly a process in which they are perceived as | different. One would unite; the other separate. Nothing can come |
| Tx:18.3 | emotion. It seems to take many forms, and each seems to require a | different form of acting out for satisfaction. While this appears to |
| Tx:18.5 | You have expressed surprise at hearing how very | different is reality from what you see. You do not realize the |
| Tx:18.19 | time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have | different forms, and that is all. Their content is the same. They are |
| Tx:18.35 | interfering with the lesson by believing that you make the learner | different. You did not make the learner, nor can you make him |
| Tx:18.35 | different. You did not make the learner, nor can you make him | different. Would you first make a miracle yourself and then expect |
| Tx:18.56 | of mind. But the communication is internal. [It is not made up of | different parts which reach each other.] Mind reaches to itself. It |
| Tx:18.57 | from His Son to make this possible. He would have had to create | different things and to establish different orders of reality, only |
| Tx:18.57 | He would have had to create different things and to establish | different orders of reality, only some of which were love. Yet love |
| Tx:18.64 | And every instant that you spend without awareness of it gives you a | different view of it when you return. |
| Tx:18.67 | Your way will be | different, not in purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a |
| Tx:18.76 | rest and keeping it apart from its Creator. This little aspect is no | different from the whole, being continuous with it and at one with |
| Tx:18.94 | but the one you cannot take, transports you to something completely | different. Here is the Source of light—nothing perceived, forgiven, |
| Tx:18.95 | world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a | different way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning |
| Tx:19.30 | You see the line as broken, and as you shift to | different aspects of the spiral, the line looks different. Yet in |
| Tx:19.30 | and as you shift to different aspects of the spiral, the line looks | different. Yet in your mind is One Who knows it is unbroken and |
| Tx:19.33 | stronger. And each part of God's fragmented creation would have a | different will, opposed to His and in eternal opposition to Him and |
| Tx:19.50 | Perception cannot obey two masters, each asking for messages of | different things in different languages. What fear would feed upon, |
| Tx:19.50 | obey two masters, each asking for messages of different things in | different languages. What fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What |
| Tx:20.10 | This Easter look with | different eyes upon each other. You have forgiven me. And yet I |
| Tx:20.16 | in perception or a belief that what was so before has been made | different. Every adjustment is therefore a distortion and calls upon |
| Tx:20.42 | You look upon each holy instant as a | different point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or |
| Tx:20.74 | which they serve? This world seems to hold out many purposes, each | different and with different values. Yet they are all the same. Again |
| Tx:20.74 | This world seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with | different values. Yet they are all the same. Again there is no order |
| Tx:22.1 | believed by each to be within himself. And each one seems to make a | different error, and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is |
| Tx:22.2 | has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their brothers | different from themselves. It is this difference, seen but not real, |
| Tx:22.3 | A holy relationship starts from a | different premise. Each one has looked within and seen no lack. |
| Tx:22.5 | 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 then believe |
| Tx:22.10 | sounds a baby makes and what he hears are highly unreliable, meaning | different things to him at different times. Neither the sounds he |
| Tx:22.10 | he hears are highly unreliable, meaning different things to him at | different times. Neither the sounds he hears nor sights he sees are |
| Tx:22.15 | Christ comes to what is like Himself; the same, not | different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as like Him |
| Tx:22.16 | truth is meaningless, do they appear to be the only alternatives and | different from each other. In truth they are the same. Both bring the |
| Tx:22.17 | world of misery is to select some aspects out of it, see them as | different, and define the difference as joy. Yet to perceive a |
| Tx:22.19 | the other way. Truth is the same and misery the same, but they are | different from each other in every way, in every instance, and |
| Tx:22.19 | one exception can exist is to confuse what is the same with what is | different. One illusion cherished and defended against the truth |
| Tx:22.24 | the meaningless idea that thoughts can leave the thinker's mind, be | different from it, and in opposition to it. If this were true, |
| Tx:22.24 | possible the Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself | different, and oppose His Will, would it be possible that the self he |
| Tx:22.25 | you made is yours. You would condemn His joy to misery and make Him | different. And all the misery you made has been your own. Are you not |
| Tx:22.29 | be understood. And here do reason and the ego separate to go their | different ways. |
| Tx:22.35 | Only mistakes have | different forms, and so they can deceive. You can change form because |
| Tx:22.63 | Only the | different can attack. So you conclude because you can attack you must |
| Tx:22.63 | can attack. So you conclude because you can attack you must be | different. Yet does the Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because |
| Tx:22.63 | does the Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not | different, you cannot attack. Either position is a logical conclusion |
| Tx:22.63 | cannot attack. Either position is a logical conclusion if only the | different can attack. Either could be maintained, but never both. The |
| Tx:22.63 | to be answered to decide which must be true is whether you are | different. From the position of what you understand, you seem to be |
| Tx:22.65 | you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be | different or the same and teach you which is true. |
| Tx:23.12 | yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to make them | different from each other in the belief the one which conquers will |
| Tx:23.12 | true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor are they | different from each other. Both are not true. And so it matters not |
| Tx:23.17 | except illusions. Illusions can conflict because their forms are | different. And they do battle only to establish which form is true. |
| Tx:23.20 | The first chaotic law is that the truth is | different for everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains |
| Tx:23.20 | these principles, this one maintains that each is separate and has a | different set of thoughts which sets him off from others. This |
| Tx:23.23 | For one must always be condemned and by the other. Now are they | different and enemies. And their relationship is one of opposition, |
| Tx:23.39 | steps to chaos do follow neatly from their starting point. Each is a | different form in the progression of truth's reversal, leading still |
| Tx:23.43 | difference. Thus it would teach a little of the same can still be | different, and yet the same remain intact as one. Does this make |
| Tx:23.48 | What can be equal to the truth yet | different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they both are |
| Tx:23.49 | the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no | different function. Creation is the means for God's extension, and |
| Tx:23.51 | place look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite | different. Here in the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have |
| Tx:24.5 | and whom He knows? Only the special could have enemies, for they are | different and not the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders |
| Tx:24.6 | for there is nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is | different calls for judgment, and this must come from someone |
| Tx:24.11 | your enemy and not your friend. Never can there be peace among the | different. He is your friend because you are the same. |
| Tx:24.16 | but never will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a | different language and they fall on different ears. To every special |
| Tx:24.16 | for God beside it. They speak a different language and they fall on | different ears. To every special one a different message, and one |
| Tx:24.16 | language and they fall on different ears. To every special one a | different message, and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet |
| Tx:24.16 | ears. To every special one a different message, and one with | different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can truth be different to |
| Tx:24.16 | and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can truth be | different to each one? The special messages the special hear convince |
| Tx:24.16 | one? The special messages the special hear convince them they are | different and apart—each in his special sins and “safe” from love, |
| Tx:24.18 | be you certain that the truth is just the same in both. It gives no | different messages and has one meaning. And it is one you both can |
| Tx:24.44 | are illusions too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a | different purpose, the strength their purpose holds is given them. |
| Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this body in a | different light, and it looks different. And without a light, it |
| Tx:24.70 | see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks | different. And without a light, it seems that it is gone. Yet you are |
| Tx:24.72 | how they look, nor where they go, nor even what they do. They have a | different purpose. It is this that joins them to their like and |
| Tx:24.72 | joins them to their like and separates each from all aspects with a | different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son |
| Tx:24.72 | to specialness but by your choice. And it is given you to make a | different choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what |
| Tx:24.72 | it is given you to make a different choice and use perception for a | different purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose well and |
| Tx:25.8 | Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, | different, and special, to the Christ, to make the oneness clear to |
| Tx:25.11 | What is the same can not be | different, and what is one can not have separate parts. |
| Tx:25.25 | who made it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a | different purpose, and to each it is a perfect means to serve the |
| Tx:25.43 | He can see no evil, nothing in the world to fear, and no one who is | different from himself. And as he loves them, so he looks upon |
| Tx:25.59 | to you in God's Own plan to show His Sons that hell and Heaven are | different, not the same. And that in Heaven they are all the same, |
| Tx:25.72 | loving justice knows to be his due. For love and justice are not | different. Because they are the same does mercy stand at God's right |
| Tx:26.12 | time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem | different from the rest. Think not the limits you impose on what you |
| Tx:26.21 | there are no simple facts because what is the same and what is | different remain unclear. The one essential thing to make a choice at |
| Tx:26.22 | this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the same and what is | different, leaving room to make the only choice which can be made. |
| Tx:26.24 | to give up all attempts to choose between them and to make them | different. [How simple is the choice between two things so clearly |
| Tx:26.30 | for only that is all there is to learn. And you can learn it many | different ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of |
| Tx:26.30 | in between is possible. There are two teachers only, who point in | different ways. And you will go along the way your chosen teacher |
| Tx:26.62 | is one to Him must be the same. If you believe what is the same is | different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one will be |
| Tx:26.68 | a little separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes | different forms. If it has been projected beyond your minds, you |
| Tx:26.85 | response of anger now is just. And thus you see what is the same as | different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all, it will be |
| Tx:27.5 | hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lays a picture of a | different you. It is a picture of a body still, for what you really |
| Tx:27.7 | And each has many voices, speaking to your brother and yourself in | different tongues. And yet to both the message is the same. Adornment |
| Tx:27.12 | lasting sign of what it represents. This leaves no space in which a | different view, another purpose, can be given it. You do not know its |
| Tx:27.23 | perceive a function unified which has conflicting purposes and | different ends. Correction, to a mind so split, must be a way to |
| Tx:27.23 | someone else. And thus does he become your victim, not your brother, | different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in need of your |
| Tx:27.23 | he. This splits his function off from yours and gives you both a | different role. And so you cannot be perceived as one and, with a |
| Tx:27.24 | your mind. And thus He represents the other half and seems to have a | different purpose from the one you cherish and you think is yours. |
| Tx:27.26 | And this He does by giving both of you a function that is one, not | different. |
| Tx:27.36 | be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is seen in | different ways. And what would be an answer from one point of view is |
| Tx:27.38 | A double question asks and answers, both attesting the same thing in | different form. |
| Tx:27.42 | not entailed within the question asked. It offers something new and | different from the question. How could it be answered if it but |
| Tx:27.50 | them all. This is because they really are the same despite their | different forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes |
| Tx:27.51 | were not your own. And it will also be apparent that your many | different problems will be solved as any one of them has been |
| Tx:27.52 | the power of your learning will be proved to you by all the many | different witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them will be |
| Tx:27.52 | are a thousand more. Each one may seem to have a problem which is | different from the rest. Yet they are solved together. And their |
| Tx:27.55 | of pain.” These witnesses are joined by many more. Each one seems | different because it has a different name, and so it seems to answer |
| Tx:27.55 | are joined by many more. Each one seems different because it has a | different name, and so it seems to answer to a different sound. |
| Tx:27.55 | because it has a different name, and so it seems to answer to a | different sound. Except for this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. |
| Tx:27.59 | is bound by laws which it came solely to undo! The laws of sin have | different witnesses with different strengths. And they attest to |
| Tx:27.59 | came solely to undo! The laws of sin have different witnesses with | different strengths. And they attest to different sufferings. Yet to |
| Tx:27.59 | different witnesses with different strengths. And they attest to | different sufferings. Yet to the One Who sends forth miracles to |
| Tx:27.60 | The laws which call them | different are dissolved and shown as powerless. The purpose of a |
| Tx:27.71 | the choice is split between a tiny you and an enormous world, with | different dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and |
| Tx:27.77 | hurtful. Above all, it tries to teach itself its pains and joys are | different and can be told apart. |
| Tx:27.89 | 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 are easily undone |
| Tx:28.14 | Its effects. There never was a cause beside It that could generate a | different past or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, |
| Tx:28.42 | for in the gap no stable self exists. What is the same seems | different because what is the same appears to be unlike. His dreams |
| Tx:29.37 | in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a | different function for a dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the |
| Tx:29.38 | endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are the same in | different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of |
| Tx:30.14 | you have already gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a | different way from what your version of the question asks will gain |
| Tx:30.82 | every situation could each one be open to interpretation which is | different every time you think of it. You add an element into the |
| Tx:30.83 | the ease with which these labels change with other judgments made on | different aspects of experience. And then in looking back you think |
| Tx:30.84 | But it must accord one meaning to them all. If they are given | different meanings, it must be that they reflect but different |
| Tx:30.84 | they are given different meanings, it must be that they reflect but | different purposes. And this is all the meaning that they have. Can |
| Tx:30.86 | purpose is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a | different purpose for the one who gains and him who loses. There |
| Tx:30.86 | no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this idea of | different goals which makes perception shift and meaning change. In |
| Tx:30.87 | really be established while the symbols which are used mean | different things? The Holy Spirit's goal gives one interpretation, |
| Tx:31.7 | The lessons to be learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a | different world. And each world follows surely from its source. The |
| Tx:31.14 | you think you must decide on anything. Neither is true. Nor are they | different. Yet must we see them both before you can look past them to |
| Tx:31.14 | both before you can look past them to the one alternative that is a | different choice. But not in dreams you made that this might be |
| Tx:31.17 | he to you. Between these two is choice because from them there is a | different outcome. If he be the leader or the follower to you, it |
| Tx:31.21 | one answer to them all. Because He hears one Voice, He cannot hear a | different answer from the one He gave when God appointed Him His only |
| Tx:31.24 | asks for what you want and needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a | different form in him, but it is not the form you answer to. He asks |
| Tx:31.26 | condemn. As you prepare to make a choice that will result in | different outcomes, there is first one thing that must be |
| Tx:31.34 | made that problems could not be escaped. Be not deceived by all the | different names its roads are given. They have but one end. And each |
| Tx:31.38 | to learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search for | different pathways in the world is but the search for different forms |
| Tx:31.38 | The search for different pathways in the world is but the search for | different forms of truth. And this would keep the truth from being |
| Tx:31.40 | teach no more than that the power of decision cannot lie in choosing | different forms of what is still the same illusion and the same |
| Tx:31.56 | that it thinks. And what can think has choice and can be shown that | different thoughts have different consequence. So it can learn that |
| Tx:31.56 | can think has choice and can be shown that different thoughts have | different consequence. So it can learn that everything it thinks |
| Tx:31.76 | God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all are | different names for just one error—that there is a space between |
| Tx:31.93 | step from there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I bring a vision of a | different world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the pain |
| W1:I.3 | The purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a | different perception of everything in the world. The workbook is |
| W1:I.3 | that each exercise be repeated several times a day, preferably in a | different place each time and, if possible, in every situation in |
| W1:4.3 | a major exercise and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat | different form. The aim here is to train you in the first steps |
| W1:4.3 | of training your mind to recognize what is the same and what is | different. In using your thoughts for application of the idea for |
| W1:5.1 | jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as | different. This is not true. However, until you learn that form does |
| W1:5.10 | for no more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of | different forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of the |
| W1:10.2 | time we have used this kind of idea. The form is only slightly | different. This time the idea is introduced with “My thoughts” |
| W1:13.4 | a minute or so at most each time, are to be practiced in a somewhat | different way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat |
| W1:15.3 | we go along, you may have many “light episodes.” They may take many | different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be afraid of |
| W1:23.9 | realize that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not | different, you will be ready to let the cause go. |
| W1:24.4 | mind as part of the desired outcome and also that these goals are on | different levels and often conflict. |
| W1:24.7 | and so on. Try to cover as many | different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur to you, even if some |
| W1:32.2 | worlds, which are actually the same. However, since you see them as | different, the practice periods for today will again include two |
| W1:35.3 | The idea for today presents a very | different view of yourself. By establishing your Source, it |
| W1:35.3 | describes you as you must really be in truth. We will use a somewhat | different kind of application for today's idea because the emphasis |
| W1:44.1 | cannot coexist, but light and life must go together, being but | different aspects of creation. |
| W1:64.6 | It is impossible that any decision on earth can have a content | different from just this one simple choice. That is the only choice |
| W1:66.1 | just a connection between them; they are the same. Their forms are | different, but their content is completely one. |
| W1:66.4 | the function He gave you must be happiness, even if it appears to be | different. Today's exercises are an attempt to go beyond these |
| W1:66.13 | giant stride in the perception of the same as the same and the | different as different. On one side stand all illusions. All truth |
| W1:66.13 | in the perception of the same as the same and the different as | different. On one side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the |
| W1:71.3 | and an assertion in which you believe that says, “If this were | different, I would be saved.” The change of mind that is necessary |
| W1:75.2 | The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a | different world because the light has come. |
| W1:76.4 | that thinks these things. You call them laws and put them under | different names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and |
| W1:76.8 | begin the longer practice period today with a short review of the | different kinds of “laws” we have believed we must obey. These would |
| W1:78.8 | this Son of God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a | different way and see our savior shining in the light of true |
| W1:79.3 | you are still uncertain about what the problem is. A long series of | different problems seems to confront you, and as one is settled the |
| W1:79.4 | to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a | different answer. This perception places you in a position in which |
| W1:79.7 | that we already know. We will try to free our minds of all the many | different kinds of problems that we think we have. We will try to |
| W1:87.4 | see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this will look | different. |
| W1:92.7 | cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others | different from itself and nothing in the world that it would share. |
| W1:93.3 | this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very | different reference point from which such idle thoughts are |
| W1:99.1 | something amiss that needs corrective change, something apart or | different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought |
| W1:105.4 | Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a | different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen |
| W1:108.4 | Here are both giving and receiving seen as | different aspects of one Thought Whose truth does not depend on which |
| W1:127.1 | Perhaps you think that | different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a |
| W1:127.9 | behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes upon a | different present, where a future shines unlike the past in every |
| W1:128.2 | everything must serve the purpose you have given it until you see a | different purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this |
| W1:131.13 | I ask to see a | different world and think a different kind of thought from those I |
| W1:131.13 | I ask to see a different world and think a | different kind of thought from those I made. The world I seek I did |
| W1:138.6 | resolved with it, for all decisions but conceal this one by taking | different forms. Here is the final and the only choice in which is |
| W1:140.3 | The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are | different from the dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream |
| W1:140.7 | have no substance, no reality, no core, and nothing that is truly | different? |
| W1:140.11 | all of them as one. They are the same. We have no need to make them | different and thus delay the time when we can hear our Father speak |
| W1:157.1 | are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a | different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and |
| W1:159.7 | when it was made. For here it is repaired, made new again but in a | different light. What was to be the home of sin becomes the center of |
| W1:160.1 | remains an alien to the part of you which thinks that it is real but | different from yourself. Who could be sane in such a circumstance? |
| W1:160.2 | our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a | different language, looks upon a world truth does not know, and |
| W1:161.3 | to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them for a purpose which is | different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we |
| W1:161.3 | we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we made to teach us from a | different point of view, so we can see a different use in everything. |
| W1:161.3 | we made to teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a | different use in everything. |
| W1:164.4 | in practicing today will bring rewards so great and so completely | different from all things you sought before that you will know that |
| W1:167.1 | There are not | different kinds of life, for life is like the truth. It does not have |
| W1:167.4 | source and take on qualities the source does not contain, becoming | different from their own origin, apart from it in kind as well as |
| W1:169.3 | it does not know and thus is ready to accept a state completely | different from experience with which it is familiarly at home. |

| Tx:8.7 | such a curriculum must be fully recognized before a real change in | direction becomes possible. You cannot learn simultaneously from two |

| Tx:8.41 | way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy Spirit has one | direction for all minds, and the one He taught me is yours. Let us |

disguise (2) | ||
| Tx:11.9 | repeatedly emphasized the need to recognize fear and face it without | disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how |

| Tx:5.68 | Irrational thought is a thought | disorder. God Himself orders your thought because your thought was |
| Tx:5.68 | you believe you can think apart from God and want to. Every thought | disorder is attended by guilt at its inception and maintained by |
| Tx:5.69 | past in purified form only. If you accept the remedy for a thought | disorder, and a remedy whose efficacy is beyond doubt, how can its |
| Tx:5.70 | creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its thought | disorder, the proper ordering of thought becomes quite apparent. |

| Tx:12.10 | that no one will countenance fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your | disordered state, you are not afraid of fear. You do not like it, but |

disorganized (3) | ||
| Tx:17.47 | appalled. Their perception of the relationship may even become quite | disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their perception no |
| Tx:17.58 | of the outcome, which can be anything. The reason for this | disorganized approach is evident. The ego does not know what it wants |
| W1:49.1 | the world's laws. It is this part which is constantly distracted, | disorganized, and highly uncertain. |
disorientation (3) | ||
| Tx:2.43 | You know that when defenses are disrupted, there is a period of real | disorientation accompanied by fear, guilt, and usually vacillations |
| Tx:16.64 | transition there is a period of confusion in which a sense of actual | disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means nothing |

| Tx:8.3 | are inaccurate perceptions of reality. Yet you are not asked to | dispel them alone. You are merely asked to evaluate them in terms of |

| Tx:9.23 | that the nightmare is real. Having made it real, he then attempts to | dispel its effects by depreciating the importance of the dreamer. |
| Tx:10.39 | the ego's thought system because together we have the lamp that will | dispel it, and since you realize you do not want it, you must be |
| Tx:10.40 | of all that stands in the way of knowledge? And how else can one | dispel illusions except by looking at them directly without |
| Tx:10.41 | by definition, and to look upon darkness through light must | dispel it. Let us begin this lesson in “ego dynamics” by |
| Tx:10.89 | and because you are deceived by what you see, you need reality to | dispel your fears. |
| Tx:11.13 | for it by giving it? The Holy Spirit's interpretation of fear does | dispel it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the |
| Tx:11.98 | You cannot | dispel guilt by making it real and then atoning for it. This is the |
| Tx:12.9 | nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light will | dispel it. And then no dark cloud will remain between you and the |
| Tx:12.10 | it would be easy enough for the Holy Spirit to show it to you and | dispel it, without the need for you to raise it to awareness |
| Tx:13.25 | totally insane and has no reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to | dispel reality. If guilt were real, Atonement would not be. The |
| Tx:13.25 | were real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of Atonement is to | dispel illusions, not to establish them as real and then forgive them. |
| Tx:14.17 | hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love will not | dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence. What is kept |
| Tx:22.41 | they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's forgiveness to | dispel their faith in sin. |
| W1:93.15 | If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly | dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should |

| W1:162.6 | one like him in holiness? You are as God created you. These words | dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come today to |
| W1:186.11 | In lovely contrast, certain as the sun's return each morning to | dispel the night, your truly given function stands out clear and |

dispelled (9) | ||
| Tx:3.14 | really thinks this way? It is so essential that all such thinking be | dispelled that we must be very sure that nothing of this kind remains |
| Tx:7.73 | or you have accepted it as you. All illusions about the Sonship are | dispelled together, as they were made together. Teach no one that he |
| Tx:10.40 | not real. We have accepted the fact already that its effects can be | dispelled merely by denying their reality. The next step is obviously |
| Tx:12.4 | ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the ego is | dispelled. |
| Tx:21.66 | a burden to you? In madness, yes. And yet what madness sees must be | dispelled by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what you want, and |
| Tx:22.59 | look away from it and toward each other. And let the darkness be | dispelled by Him Who knows the light and lays it gently in each quiet |
| W1:92.5 | is an idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be | dispelled and darkness rule where God appointed that there should be |
| W2:WIHS.1 | bridge that He provides are dreams all carried to the truth, to be | dispelled before the light of knowledge. There are sights and sounds |
| M:5.10 | thus brought to truth, and truth is not brought to them. So are they | dispelled, not by the will of another but by the union of the One |
dispelling (5) | ||
| Tx:7.90 | you are deciding against the belief that you can be alone, thus | dispelling the idea of separation and affirming your true |
| Tx:8.27 | you, and your problem in accepting it is the problem of this world. | Dispelling it is salvation, and in this sense I am the salvation of |
| Tx:11.98 | atoning for it. This is the ego's plan, which it offers instead of | dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through attack, being |
| Tx:13.70 | joyous opportunity to learn that nothing has no power. And by not | dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness and of light. The |
| W1:16.1 | The idea for today is a beginning step in | dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no effect. Everything |
dispels (4) | ||
| Tx:1.43 | to the Soul, and the miracle acknowledges only the truth. It thus | dispels man's illusions about himself and puts him in communion with |
| Tx:11.99 | and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy Spirit | dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it has never |
| W1:111.3 | strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness is the dark His gift | dispels by giving me His strength to take its place. |
| W1:136.1 | it cannot be at all. When this is seen, healing is automatic. It | dispels this meaningless illusion by the same approach that carries |
dispersions (1) | ||
| Tx:2.38 | each other, and they established differences, divisions, cleavages, | dispersions, and all the other concepts related to the increasing |
dispirited (4) | ||
| Tx:4.1 | but to be inspired is to be in the spirit. To be egocentric is to be | dispirited, but to be Self-centered in the right sense is to be |
| Tx:4.68 | God created. Why do you believe it is harder for me to inspire the | dispirited or to stabilize the unstable? I do not believe that there |
| Tx:7.31 | the opposite of dispiriting and therefore means to make joyous. The | dispirited are depressed, because they believe that they are |
| Tx:15.12 | Whenever you are tempted to be | dispirited by the thought of how long it would take to change your |
dispiritedly (1) | ||
| Tx:8.83 | you give it? Under which teacher did you place it? Whenever you wake | dispiritedly, it was not of the Holy Spirit. Only when you awaken |
dispiriting (3) | ||
| Tx:4.2 | you are disclaiming knowledge instead of affirming it and are thus | dispiriting yourself. Do not embark on foolish journeys, because they |
| Tx:4.62 | Know it offers you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary | dispiriting, you will see how your mind can focus and rise above |
| Tx:7.31 | that we have already used the term. Inspiration is the opposite of | dispiriting and therefore means to make joyous. The dispirited are |
displace (2) | ||
| Tx:13.21 | by the Holy Spirit, and it is that which makes them pure. [If you | displace your guilt upon them, the Holy Spirit cannot use them.] For |
| Tx:13.22 | there. It is inevitable that those who suffer guilt will attempt to | displace it, because they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, |
displaced (3) | ||
| Tx:13.20 | is diverted, must be true and must be fearful, or you would not have | displaced the guilt onto what you believed to be less fearful. You |
| Tx:18.50 | And you have done a stranger thing than you yet realize. You have | displaced your guilt to your bodies from your minds. Yet a body |
| M:13.1 | so both can finally disappear. The first illusion, which must be | displaced before another thought system can take hold, is that it is |
displacement (3) | ||
| Tx:13.20 | can see the source of pain where it is not. The doubtful service of | displacement is to hide the real source of your guilt and keep from |
| Tx:13.20 | and keep from your awareness the full perception that it is insane. | Displacement always is maintained by the illusion that the source, |
| Tx:31.47 | concept of the self was made to teach. It is a lesson in a terrible | displacement and a fear so devastating that the face which smiles |
displeases (1) | ||
| W1:72.3 | does? A person says something we do not like; he does something that | displeases us, he “betrays” his hostile thoughts in his behavior. |
disposal (6) | ||
| Tx:1.69 | dictates of tyrants. To change your mind means to place it at the | disposal of true Authority. |
| Tx:1.85 | 51. The miracle is the only device which man has at his immediate | disposal for controlling time. Only revelation transcends time, |
| Tx:1.90 | could be better off is the reason why man has this mechanism at his | disposal. |
| Tx:5.59 | that of the Holy Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its | disposal to side with Heaven or earth, as it elects. But again, let |
| Tx:9.59 | factors outside yourself. You must learn that time is solely at your | disposal, and that nothing in the world can take this responsibility |
| Tx:19.21 | wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its | disposal. For here lies its “best” defense which all the others |
dispossess (2) | ||
| Tx:19.41 | Why would you want peace homeless? What do you think that it must | dispossess to dwell with you? What seems to be the cost you are so |
| Tx:19.60 | think peace would rob you of. This is what you believe that it would | dispossess and leave you homeless. And it is this for which you would |

| W1:160.3 | and let you be a stranger to yourself? No one would let himself be | dispossessed so needlessly unless he thought there was another home |
dispossession (1) | ||
| Tx:4.18 | of His creations, who have chosen to leave it empty by their own | dispossession. Yet His home will stand forever and is ready for you |
disproportionate (2) | ||
| Tx:17.38 | hard to see at all beneath the heavy shadows of its enormous and | disproportionate enclosure. The other is lightly framed and hung in |
| Tx:18.39 | that your contribution and the Holy Spirit's are so extremely | disproportionate. You are still convinced your understanding is a |
dispute (4) | ||
| Tx:3.68 | The | dispute over authorship has left such uncertainty in the minds of men |
| Tx:4.14 | or your learning. Your worth was established by God. As long as you | dispute this, everything you do will be fearful, particularly any |
| Tx:4.15 | are His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. Do not let your ego | dispute this because the ego cannot know what is as far beyond its |
| Tx:9.93 | this, but that you can think you can and believe you have is beyond | dispute. |
disqualify (1) | ||
| Tx:8.9 | your own experience with the ego's teaching, should not this alone | disqualify it as your future teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm |
disregard (9) | ||
| Tx:8.8 | it is totally confused and totally confusing. Even if you could | disregard the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you |
| Tx:8.9 | possible reason for choosing a teacher such as this? Does the total | disregard of anything it teaches make anything but sense? Is this the |
| Tx:8.11 | leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how to | disregard or look beyond everything that would hold you back. |
| Tx:21.55 | the witnesses on its behalf are clear. Only the totally insane can | disregard them, and you have gone past this. Reason is a means which |
| Tx:22.30 | ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and | disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus |
| Tx:22.48 | How likely is it that it will succeed? Can it be difficult to | disregard its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence and would |
| Tx:23.34 | No law of chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on form and | disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is true sees |
| W1:135.18 | make against the truth. Their aim is to select what you approve and | disregard what you consider incompatible with your beliefs of your |
| W1:151.11 | He will select the elements in them that represent the truth and | disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And He will |

| Tx:9.4 | to errors, you are not listening to the Holy Spirit. He has merely | disregarded them, and if you attend to them, you are not hearing Him. |
disrupt (3) | ||
| Tx:4.95 | is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it will | disrupt communication when it experiences threat. While this is |
| Tx:15.77 | communication has been restored. And guilt, whose only purpose is to | disrupt communication, has no function here. |
| Tx:24.4 | decisions. Mistake you not the power of these hidden warriors to | disrupt your peace. For it is at their mercy while you decide to |
disrupted (4) | ||
| Tx:2.43 | itself as both a brother and a Son. You know that when defenses are | disrupted, there is a period of real disorientation accompanied by |
| Tx:2.43 | depression. This course is different in that defenses are not being | disrupted but reinterpreted, even though you may experience it as the |
| Tx:4.95 | or judged by the ego as coercive communication which must be | disrupted, the response of breaking communication will nevertheless |
| Tx:17.50 | life into your failing egos. For your relationship has not been | disrupted. It has been saved. |
disruption (3) | ||
| Tx:5.60 | to the ego because its peace is unassailable. It is invulnerable to | disruption because it is whole. Guilt is always disruptive. Anything |
| Tx:14.21 | has no meaning, for its purpose is not communication, but rather the | disruption of communication. If the purpose of language is |
| Tx:19.83 | it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and complete | disruption of communication which is the ego's goal. |
disruptive (1) | ||
| Tx:5.60 | is invulnerable to disruption because it is whole. Guilt is always | disruptive. Anything that engenders fear is divisive because it obeys |
dissatisfaction (1) | ||
| Tx:8.5 | are you satisfied with the changes your learning has brought you? | Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must be a sign of learning |
dissatisfied (1) | ||
| M:13.3 | has the mind condemned itself to seek without finding, to be forever | dissatisfied and discontented, to know not what it really wants to |
dissatisfying (1) | ||
| Tx:30.50 | The wearying, | dissatisfying gods you made are blown-up children's toys. A child is |
dissipated (1) | ||
| W1:138.3 | of time. Without decision, time is but a waste and effort | dissipated. It is spent for nothing in return. And time goes by |
dissociate (4) | ||
| Tx:2.28 | Dissociation is quite similar. You should split off or | dissociate yourself from error but only in defense of integration. |
| Tx:4.85 | has been and always will be totally unaffected by your attempts to | dissociate. The ratio of repression and dissociation varies with the |
| Tx:7.65 | power is God's gift to you, because it is what you are. If you | dissociate your mind from it, you are perceiving the most powerful |
| Tx:9.68 | Unless you know something, you cannot | dissociate it. Knowledge therefore precedes dissociation, and |
dissociated (7) | ||
| Tx:4.90 | back to your own creations, which you do not yet know. What has been | dissociated is still there. |
| Tx:5.34 | Your brother may have | dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. The dissociation is |
| Tx:5.84 | thought system, because he did not include himself in it. This is a | dissociated state, because the thinker cuts himself off from his |
| Tx:6.43 | a part of what you know, because you cannot teach what you have | dissociated. |
| Tx:9.68 | because you are afraid of your dissociation, not of what you have | dissociated. Even in this world's therapy, when dissociated material |
| Tx:9.68 | not of what you have dissociated. Even in this world's therapy, when | dissociated material is accepted, it ceases to be fearful, for the |
| W1:96.6 | Source of strength and sees itself as helpless, limited, and weak. | Dissociated from its function now, it thinks it is alone and |
dissociating (3) | ||
| Tx:4.88 | other. The separated mind cannot maintain the separation except by | dissociating. Having done this, it utilizes repression against all |
| Tx:8.26 | a world that does deny itself everything. It does this simply by | dissociating itself from everything. It is therefore an illusion of |
| Tx:9.31 | joy, and if you see that it does produce joy in others, you must be | dissociating it in yourself. |
dissociation (24) | ||
| Tx:2.28 | Dissociation is quite similar. You should split off or dissociate | |
| Tx:2.29 | Detachment is essentially a weaker form of | dissociation. |
| Tx:4.85 | by your attempts to dissociate. The ratio of repression and | dissociation varies with the individual ego-illusion, but |
| Tx:4.85 | and dissociation varies with the individual ego-illusion, but | dissociation is always involved or you would not believe that you are |
| Tx:5.21 | must let banish the idea of darkness. His is the glory before which | dissociation falls away and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into |
| Tx:5.34 | brother may have dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. The | dissociation is healed in both of you as you become aware of the Call |
| Tx:5.84 | that he could not have retained his sanity as he saw it without | dissociation. That is why the many contradictions which are quite |
| Tx:6.25 | Exclusion and separation are synonymous, as are separation and | dissociation. We have said before that the separation was and is |
| Tx:6.25 | and dissociation. We have said before that the separation was and is | dissociation and also that, once it had occurred, projection became |
| Tx:6.70 | and learn. These insane concepts are clearly the result of their own | dissociation and projection. What you teach you are, but it is quite |
| Tx:7.45 | Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does. Fear produces | dissociation, because it induces separation. Healing always produces |
| Tx:8.35 | Can you be separated from your identification and be at peace? | Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional |
| Tx:9.34 | would He keep from you. Therefore you can create as He did, and your | dissociation will not alter this. Neither God's light nor yours is |
| Tx:9.68 | something, you cannot dissociate it. Knowledge therefore precedes | dissociation, and dissociation is nothing more than a decision to |
| Tx:9.68 | cannot dissociate it. Knowledge therefore precedes dissociation, and | dissociation is nothing more than a decision to forget. What has been |
| Tx:9.68 | has been forgotten then appears to be fearful, but only because the | dissociation was an attack on truth. You are fearful because you have |
| Tx:9.68 | knowledge by an awareness of dreams because you are afraid of your | dissociation, not of what you have dissociated. Even in this world's |
| Tx:9.69 | Yet to give up the | dissociation of reality brings more than merely lack of fear. In this |
| Tx:11.68 | not want, it is still because you do want it. This leads directly to | dissociation, for it represents the acceptance of two goals, each |
| Tx:14.27 | that salvation must come to you this way if you consider what | dissociation is. Dissociation is a distorted process of thinking |
| Tx:14.27 | must come to you this way if you consider what dissociation is. | Dissociation is a distorted process of thinking whereby two systems |
| Tx:15.5 | the ego tries and all too frequently succeeds in doing both by using | dissociation for holding its contradictory aims together so that they |
| Tx:19.92 | of your Self from you—the fear of God, the final step in your | dissociation. |
| Tx:21.55 | this and more than this alone. Yet any part of knowledge threatens | dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it will come with any |
dissolution (4) | ||
| Tx:4.70 | is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the ego. Fear of | dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some sense in |
| Tx:15.4 | to. Hell is its goal, for although the ego aims at death and | dissolution as an end, it does not believe it. The goal of death, |
| W1:191.11 | do. You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to | dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you |
| M:27.7 | form. Truth neither moves nor wavers nor sinks down to death and | dissolution. And what is the end of death? Nothing but this: the |
dissolve (3) | ||
| Tx:2.49 | looks for Atonement. All the solutions which the physical eyes seek | dissolve in its sight. The Spiritual eye, which looks within, |
| Tx:3.78 | see what the devil has made. But know that this making will surely | dissolve in the light of truth, because its foundation is a lie. |
| W1:191.2 | does not seem to bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but will | dissolve in tears. |
dissolved (2) | ||
| Tx:14.37 | Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him can never be | dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of creation and with its |
| Tx:27.60 | The laws which call them different are | dissolved and shown as powerless. The purpose of a miracle is to |
dissolves (2) | ||
| Tx:1.57 | 40. The miracle | dissolves error, because the Spiritual eye identifies error as false |
| Tx:5.19 | in him the call to joy. This call is so strong that the ego always | dissolves at its sound. That is why you can choose to listen to two |
distance (20) | ||
| Tx:1.79 | of “rising up,” I am higher. This is because, without me, the | distance between God and man would be too great for you to encompass. |
| Tx:1.80 | I bridge the | distance as an elder brother to man on the one hand and as a Son of |
| Tx:2.31 | Distantiation can be properly used as a way of putting | distance between yourself and what you should fly from. |
| Tx:6.31 | that the human eye perceives parallel lines as if they meet in the | distance, which is the same as in the future if time and space are |
| Tx:8.51 | you are always and what you are forever. It is a journey without | distance to a goal that has never changed. Truth can only be |
| Tx:9.25 | and looking for a distant light to remove it while emphasizing the | distance? |
| Tx:11.82 | you have made visible to yourselves. Yet it does not matter how much | distance you have tried to interpose between your awareness and |
| Tx:18.60 | This can occur regardless of the physical | distance which seems to be between you and what you join, of your |
| Tx:26.69 | There is a | distance you would keep apart from one another, and this space you |
| Tx:26.81 | is given up, that light may shine on it, and leave no space nor | distance lingering between the light of Heaven and the world. |
| Tx:29.5 | your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause of separation and of | distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that |

| Tx:2.69 | that healing is necessary. Man is not willing to look on what he has | done to himself. Healing is an ability lent to man after the |
| Tx:2.87 | yourself in a position where you need Atonement, because you have | done something loveless, having willed without love. This is |
| Tx:2.95 | us and believe in what you have made. You would never have | done this if you were not afraid of your own thoughts. The vulnerable |
| Tx:4.57 | that God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have | done and left undone accordingly, and then change your minds to think |
| Tx:4.64 | its accomplishment, and step away from them. Judge how well you have | done this by your own feelings, for this is the one right use of |
| Tx:4.88 | mind cannot maintain the separation except by dissociating. Having | done this, it utilizes repression against all truly natural impulses, |
| Tx:4.101 | but He does want revelation brought to others. This cannot be | done with the actual revelation because its content cannot be |
| Tx:5.2 | to what part or by what part of the Sonship the healing is | done. Every part benefits and benefits equally. |
| Tx:5.26 | The Holy Spirit is the way in which God's Will can be | done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, |
| Tx:5.53 | nothing against him, or you hold it against yourself. Teaching is | done in many ways: by formal means, by guidance, and above all by |
| Tx:5.70 | first. It will also turn back to full creation the instant it has | done so. Having given up its thought disorder, the proper ordering of |
| Tx:6.6 | of the separated ones, who always refuse to consider what they have | done to themselves. Projection means anger, anger fosters assault, |
| Tx:6.47 | a great many. The most inventive activities of the ego have never | done more than obscure the question, because you have the answer and |
| Tx:7.55 | of unreality, and results in utter confusion. Your own thinking has | done this because of its power, but your own thinking can also save |
| Tx:7.62 | believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you have | done this. If the mind cannot attack, the ego proceeds perfectly |
| Tx:7.96 | have it forever, He gave you the means for keeping it, and you have | done so. Disobeying God's Will is meaningful only to the insane. In |
| Tx:7.98 | but not at their logical outcome. Is it not possible that you have | done the same thing with the premises of God? |
| Tx:8.9 | not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher? Yet the ego has | done more harm to your learning than this alone. Learning is joyful |
| Tx:8.22 | of you. This is your responsibility, because once you have really | done this, you will accept the Atonement for yourself. What other |
| Tx:8.27 | of Him Who sent me to you. You were in darkness until God's Will was | done completely by any part of the Sonship. When this was done, it |
| Tx:8.27 | Will was done completely by any part of the Sonship. When this was | done, it was perfectly accomplished by all. How else could it be |
| Tx:8.56 | Misuse it, and you will misunderstand it, because you have already | done so by misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy |
| Tx:9.22 | make Him appear retaliative and fear His retribution. What they have | done is merely to identify with the ego and, by perceiving clearly |
| Tx:9.65 | Who could have | done this but you? Recognize this gladly, for in this recognition |
| Tx:9.94 | projection, and you will believe that others, and not yourself, have | done this to you. You will receive the message you give, because it |
| Tx:10.67 | see the works I do through you, or you will not perceive that I have | done them unto you. Do not set limits on what you believe I can do |
| Tx:10.67 | through you, or you will not accept what I can do for you. For it is | done already, and unless you give all that you have received, you |
| Tx:10.80 | it and use it. Yet it has been very specific, and you have not | done what it specifically advocates. This is not a course in the play |
| Tx:11.1 | or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he had actually | done so, because you have made his error real to you. To interpret |
| Tx:11.1 | real to you. To interpret error is to give it power, and having | done this, you will overlook truth. |
| Tx:11.31 | to you. This is a necessary consequence of what you have | done. You have projected outward what is antagonistic to what is |
| Tx:11.44 | that nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you have not | done anything. Once you realize this, there is no longer any sense in |
| Tx:11.96 | For guilt establishes that you will be punished for what you have | done and thus depends on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past |
| Tx:13.11 | is the attack upon His Son. The guilty always condemn, and having | done so, they will condemn, linking the future to the past as is the |
| Tx:13.15 | him, for his guilt lies in his secret that he thinks that he has | done this unto you. Would you, then, teach him that he is right in |
| Tx:13.26 | it. The Holy Spirit does what God would have Him do and has always | done so. He has seen separation, but knows of union. He teaches |
| Tx:13.39 | listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is | done. You will find the peace in which He has established you, |
| Tx:13.49 | and learning you are guiltless. How could you learn what has been | done for you, but which you do not know, unless you do what you would |
| Tx:13.49 | do not know, unless you do what you would have to do if it had been | done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a world made of |
| Tx:13.75 | will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you have | done to make you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore of |
| Tx:13.80 | Say to the Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is | done. For His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, |
| Tx:13.88 | before your Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always | done. Giving Himself is all He knows, and so it is all knowledge. For |
| Tx:13.89 | function here? You need not understand creation to do what must be | done before that knowledge would be meaningful to you. God breaks no |
| Tx:14.19 | your belief that you can have them both is meaningless. All you have | done by keeping them apart is lose their meaning by confusing them |
| Tx:16.3 | real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let the healing be | done for you. Keep but one thought in mind and do not lose sight of |
| Tx:16.5 | You are not sure that He will do His part because you have never yet | done yours completely. You will not know how to respond to what you |
| Tx:16.11 | You do not understand them, either in part or whole. Yet you have | done them. Therefore, your understanding cannot be necessary. Yet it |
| Tx:16.12 | To you the miracle cannot seem natural because what you have | done to hurt your minds has made them so unnatural that they do not |
| Tx:16.13 | You have | done miracles, but it is quite apparent that you have not done them |
| Tx:16.13 | You have done miracles, but it is quite apparent that you have not | done them alone. You have succeeded whenever you have reached another |
| Tx:16.21 | look upon it fairly and perceive it was untrue. And He must have | done so from the basis of a very different thought system and one |
| Tx:16.23 | What functions must be there. And it is only if you deny what It has | done that you could possibly deny Its Presence. |
| Tx:16.25 | Your teaching has already | done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He |
| Tx:16.36 | would accomplish the impossible. How but in illusion could this be | done? It is essential that we look very closely at exactly what it is |
| Tx:16.72 | completely insane. For the ego remembers everything that you have | done which offended it and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it |
| Tx:16.78 | it is you who offered them illusions. In the holy instant, this is | done for you in time to bring to you the true condition of Heaven. |
| Tx:17.1 | he has betrayed himself, his brothers, and his God. Yet what is | done in dreams has not been really done. It is impossible to convince |
| Tx:17.1 | and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really | done. It is impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for |
| Tx:17.15 | They represent the evil that you think was | done to you. You bring them with you only that you may return evil |
| Tx:17.53 | work. And He has not been lacking in appreciation for all you have | done for Him. Nor does He see the mistakes at all. Have you been |
| Tx:17.65 | from the solution? Yet faith must be where something has been | done and where you see it done. A situation is a relationship, being |
| Tx:17.65 | Yet faith must be where something has been done and where you see it | done. A situation is a relationship, being the joining of thoughts. |
| Tx:17.71 | of faithlessness: You think you hold against the other what he has | done to you. But what you really blame him for is what you did to |
| Tx:18.23 | God. And what this will would have accomplished has never not been | done. |
| Tx:18.44 | happy. And so they must be loving. Their message is, “Thy will be | done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The alignment of means and |
| Tx:18.50 | the awareness of Heaven and the loss of your Identity. And you have | done a stranger thing than you yet realize. You have displaced your |
| Tx:18.54 | of vengeance and the perceived source of your guilt. You have | done this to a thing that has no meaning, proclaiming it to be the |
| Tx:18.64 | trying to make still more, but there is one thing you have never | done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the body. It |
| Tx:18.86 | How is this | done? It is extremely simple, being based on what this little kingdom |
| Tx:19.10 | past, which you received. You do not use anything your brother has | done before to condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his |
| Tx:19.14 | love are sent to do they do, returning the glad tidings that it was | done to you who stand together before the altar from which they were |
| Tx:19.26 | protection, for what is deserving punishment must have been really | done. Punishment is always the great preserver of sin, treating it |
| Tx:19.67 | me your illusions and release me from punishment for what I have not | done. So will you learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom |
| Tx:20.35 | at peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be | done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible |
| Tx:20.67 | had judgment not been made. Desire now its whole undoing, and it is | done for you. |
| Tx:21.16 | yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is | done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all |
| Tx:21.72 | they have come together but have not joined each other. For had they | done so, hatred would be impossible. The army of the powerless must |
| Tx:21.74 | only ask himself these questions, which he must decide to have it | done for him: |
| Tx:22.21 | and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever being | done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made |
| Tx:22.60 | is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this belief has | done. You see yourself as vulnerable, frail, and easily destroyed and |
| Tx:23.22 | places him beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he has | done is thus interpreted as an irrevocable sentence upon himself, |
| Tx:23.23 | other now appears as sensible, made real by what the Son of God has | done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which the laws |
| Tx:24.33 | Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you will that this be | done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to join His Will to |
| Tx:24.33 | and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will be | done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love not your |
| Tx:24.57 | your brother lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is | done and he is risen from the past. He who condemned himself, and you |
| Tx:25.42 | But in the love he shows himself is God made free to let His Will be | done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief in what |
| Tx:25.73 | would be given him by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be | done unto the Son He loves and would protect from all unfairness you |
| Tx:25.86 | of the law on which salvation rests—that justice must be | done to all if anyone is to be healed. No one can lose, and everyone |
| Tx:26.25 | Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has | done nothing to forgive. Forgiveness always rests upon the one who |
| Tx:26.84 | what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose | done. For They have come! For They have come at last! |
| Tx:27.6 | never sinned—that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever | done or ever had effects of any kind; that no reproach he laid upon |
| Tx:27.14 | is real. And what has consequences must be real because what it has | done is there to see. Forgiveness is not pity which but seeks to |
| Tx:27.15 | is a paradox which reason cannot see. For it maintains what has been | done to you deserves no pardon. And by giving it, you grant your |
| Tx:27.33 | possible until the time when aids are meaningless and learning | done. No learning aid has use which can extend beyond the goal of |
| Tx:27.36 | which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already has been | done. |
| Tx:27.46 | instant are you healed, and in that single instant is all healing | done. |
| Tx:27.62 | Suffering is an emphasis upon all that the world has | done to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of salvation |
| Tx:27.62 | He must be innocent because he knows not what he does, but what is | done to him. Yet is his own attack upon himself apparent still, for |
| Tx:27.82 | the dreamer who perceives the dream as separate from himself and | done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad |
| Tx:27.83 | you did. Except that now you think that what you did is being | done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed outside |
| Tx:27.88 | I have | done this thing, and it is this I would undo. |
| Tx:28.1 | to undo. And thus it cancels out the interference to what has been | done. It does not add, but merely takes away. And what it takes away |
| Tx:28.3 | recognition that you have no needs which mean that something must be | done. It is an unselective memory, which is not used to interfere |
| Tx:28.10 | your remembering would witness to is but the fear of God. He has not | done the thing you fear. No more have you. And so your innocence has |
| Tx:28.14 | what he has made is causeless, making no effects at all. He has | done nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he never had a need |
| Tx:28.22 | together and has offered him to show him that his wishes have been | done. Thus does he fear his own attack but sees it at another's |
| Tx:28.22 | what he caused. The miracle does nothing but to show him that he has | done nothing. What he fears is cause without the consequences which |
| Tx:28.27 | The body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not | done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make |
| Tx:29.14 | His Presence must be there. For what you now can do could not be | done without the love and grace His Presence holds. |
| Tx:29.64 | it to save you from what you believe you have accomplished and have | done to make you sinful and put out the light within you. Little |
| Tx:30.36 | If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be free. For what is | done to him whom God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He |
| Tx:30.36 | could not be free. For what is done to him whom God so loves is | done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you |
| Tx:30.54 | deception. You need not concern yourself with how this will be | done, for this you cannot understand. But you will understand that |
| Tx:30.55 | upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your will be | done and seek no longer for the things you do not want. And you are |
| Tx:30.83 | you see another meaning in what went before. What have you really | done except to show there was no meaning there? But you assigned a |
| Tx:31.55 | have gone before these concepts of the self. And something must have | done the learning which gave rise to them. Nor can this be explained |
| Tx:31.64 | may disappear, so that perception finds no hiding place. How is this | done? It is not done at all. What could there be within the universe |
| Tx:31.64 | that perception finds no hiding place. How is this done? It is not | done at all. What could there be within the universe which God |
| Tx:31.64 | there be within the universe which God created that must still be | done? |
| Tx:31.65 | to see the world that will replace the one you made. Your will be | done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever true. It matters not |
| Tx:31.65 | to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will be | done.” And it is done to you accordingly. |
| Tx:31.65 | or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it is | done to you accordingly. |
| Tx:31.67 | kind in heart? And what could hurt the truly innocent? Your will be | done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter if you think you are |
| Tx:31.67 | as innocent as Love Itself. And you are worthy that your will be | done! |
| Tx:31.97 | still remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy Will is | done, complete and perfectly, and all creation recognizes You and |
| W1:8.4 | The exercises for today should be | done with eyes closed. This is because you actually cannot see |

| W1:65.2 | own hands. It gives you the answer to all the searching you have | done since time began. |
| W1:69.8 | of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may be | done. |
| W1:71.12 | rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be | done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will answer you in |
| W1:73.9 | nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your will be | done. And end forever the insane belief that it is hell in place of |
| W1:77.5 | to be assured in this. You are but asking that the Will of God be | done. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything. You state a |
| W1:93.4 | to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was never | done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure and holy |
| W1:93.8 | our longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if | done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin |
| W1:96.8 | His Voice accepted it for you and answered in your name that it was | done. Thus is salvation kept among the thoughts your Self holds dear |
| W1:96.15 | by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things. Confusion | done, you are restored, for you have found your Self. |
| W1:99.2 | illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was never | done. |
| W1:99.4 | What but a thought of God could be this plan by which the never | done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were never real? |
| W1:104.8 | clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is | done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal |
| W1:R3.4 | because you did not want to do them for whatever reason should be | done as soon as you have changed your mind about your goal. You are |
| W1:R3.8 | the last five minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be | done, at least try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning |
| W1:R3.9 | The exercises to be | done throughout the day are equally important and perhaps of even |
| W1:135.9 | usefulness is over. Who would want to keep it when its usefulness is | done? |
| W1:135.12 | is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be | done and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for |
| W1:135.22 | accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be | done but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for |
| W1:136.3 | what you would attempt to do and then proceed to think that it is | done. |
| W1:136.4 | reduce the threat that has been judged as real? All this cannot be | done unconsciously. But afterwards your plan requires that you must |

| W1:169.8 | repeated several times before that you but make a journey that is | done. For oneness must be here. Whatever time the mind has set for |
| W1:169.10 | your part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your part is | done. It does not matter. For your part is still what all the rest |

| W1:187.3 | accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is | done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. |
| W1:189.10 | follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be | done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. |
| W1:191.1 | here as well is all the world released. You do not see what you have | done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God. |

| W1:191.2 | What have you done that this should be your world? What have you | done that this is what you see? Deny your own Identity, and this is |
| W1:193.1 | Will. And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is | done. |
| W1:196.4 | And what would seem to need a thousand years can easily be | done in just one instant by the grace of God. |

| W1:10.1 | have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you will have no | doubt that what you once believed were your thoughts did not mean |
| W1:77.6 | granted. The fact that you accepted must be so. There is no room for | doubt and uncertainty today. We are asking a real question at last. |
| W1:79.8 | that is not necessary. All that is necessary is to entertain some | doubt about the reality of our version of what our problems are. We |
| W1:83.2 | I am always certain what to do, what to say, and what to think. All | doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the |
| W1:91.3 | see what is there and to see what is not there instead. You do not | doubt that the body's eyes can see. You do not doubt the images they |

| W1:91.4 | in you which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you will not | doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap into |
| W1:95.12 | truth again and try to reach the place in you in which there is no | doubt that only this is true. Begin the practice periods today with |
| W1:96.2 | senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and | doubt, each one as futile as the one before and failing as the next |
| W1:98.2 | and take our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks that | doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to |

| W1:107.4 | Without illusions there could be no fear, no | doubt, and no attack. When truth has come, all pain is over, for |
| W1:107.9 | as we are sure we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not | doubt we walk with truth today and count on it to enter into all the |
| W1:108.6 | is tried, the thought behind it can be generalized to other areas of | doubt and double vision. And from there it will extend and finally |
| W1:121.3 | The unforgiving mind is torn with | doubt, confused about itself and all it sees, afraid and angry, weak |
| W1:124.3 | smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we will not | doubt His Love for us nor question His protection and His care. |
| W1:128.4 | worth one instant of delay and pain, one moment of uncertainty and | doubt. The worthless offer nothing. Certainty of worth cannot be |
| W1:130.7 | give five minutes to the thought which ends all compromise and | doubt and go beyond them all as one. We will not make a thousand |
| W1:130.10 | thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You will not | doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not |

| W1:139.6 | Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to | doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are. This is the |
| W1:139.7 | the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to | doubt yourself and not to be aware of what you are. Only acceptance |

| W1:151.1 | That is not judgment. It is merely an opinion based on ignorance and | doubt. Its seeming certainty is but a cloak for the uncertainty it |

| Tx:6.50 | real, and God calls you to awake. There will be nothing left of your | dream when you hear Him, because you will be awake. Your dreams have |
| Tx:6.51 | God without question. The time that was spent on questioning in the | dream has given way to creation and to its eternity. |

| Tx:17.18 | Where no reality has entered, there is nothing to intrude upon the | dream of happiness. Yet consider what this means—the more reality |
| Tx:17.19 | which the reality of the other does not enter at all to “spoil” the | dream. And the less the other really brings to it, the “better” it |
| Tx:17.73 | wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a | dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy Spirit's goal are set |
| Tx:18.17 | scream, “I want it thus!” And thus it seems to be. And yet the | dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an |
| Tx:18.17 | of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror. For the | dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a world |
| Tx:18.18 | though you made it, nor do you realize that the emotions which the | dream produces must come from you. It is the figures in the dream and |

| Tx:18.21 | everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It will be a happy | dream, and one which you will share with all who come within your |

| Tx:18.23 | Yet Heaven is sure. This is no | dream. Its coming means that you have chosen truth, and it has come |

| Tx:18.23 | The 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 |

| Tx:18.45 | to love your brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a | dream. All that remains of dreams within it is that it is still a |

| Tx:18.54 | and they have nothing to do with what the body does. It does not | dream of them, and they but make it a liability where it could be an |
| Tx:18.58 | beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far exceeds the | dream of freedom sometimes experienced in special relationships. It |
| Tx:19.85 | savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this is a | dream of death. There is no funeral, no dark altars, no grim |
| Tx:20.10 | and laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully, nor think it but a | dream—a careless thought to play with or a toy you would pick up |
| Tx:21.72 | who are strong are never treacherous because they have no need to | dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in |
| Tx:21.72 | because they have no need to dream of power and to act out their | dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any way at all. It could be |

| Tx:24.18 | with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not the | dream of specialness remain between you. What is one is joined in |
| Tx:24.32 | on which they sleep and call them to come forth and waken from their | dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of |
| Tx:24.32 | would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not make their | dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not death, |
| Tx:24.32 | God and die, but not by Him Who made not death, but only in the | dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior God gave to you that |
| Tx:24.38 | as real. If he is sinful, then is your reality not real but just a | dream of specialness which lasts an instant, crumbling into dust. |
| Tx:24.39 | Do not defend this senseless | dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain beyond |
| Tx:24.41 | There is no | dream of specialness—however hidden or disguised the form; however |
| Tx:24.41 | dreams, effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the | dream believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not |
| Tx:26.36 | been undone no longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore and | dream himself across an ocean to a place and time that have long |
| Tx:26.36 | and time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this | dream be to where he really is? For this is fact and does not change |
| Tx:27.18 | him by your healing that his guilt is but the fabric of a senseless | dream. |
| Tx:27.62 | the world's demented version of salvation clearly shown. Like to a | dream of punishment in which the dreamer is unconscious of what |
| Tx:27.69 | No one can waken from a | dream the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone |
| Tx:27.69 | the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone else's | dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did not make. |
| Tx:27.69 | a part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken from a | dream he did not make. Helpless he stands, a victim to a dream |
| Tx:27.69 | from a dream he did not make. Helpless he stands, a victim to a | dream conceived and cherished by a separate mind. Careless indeed of |
| Tx:27.69 | him not but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its | dream. So little is his worth that he is but a dancing shadow, |
| Tx:27.71 | and dreams lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you | dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the world is but a |
| Tx:27.71 | They are one. The dreaming of the world is but a part of your own | dream you gave away and saw as if it were its start and ending both. |
| Tx:27.71 | it were its start and ending both. Yet was it started by your secret | dream, which you do not perceive, although it caused the part you see |
| Tx:27.71 | not doubt is real. How could you doubt it while you lie asleep and | dream in secret that its cause is real? |
| Tx:27.72 | your death, yet plans that it be lingering and slow—of this you | dream. Yet underneath this dream is yet another in which you become |
| Tx:27.72 | it be lingering and slow—of this you dream. Yet underneath this | dream is yet another in which you become the murderer, the secret |
| Tx:27.73 | other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle | dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has lost his |
| Tx:27.73 | denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the | dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the |
| Tx:27.73 | the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear unless a gentler | dream preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, |
| Tx:27.73 | not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him. [A gentler | dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was |
| Tx:27.73 | and with joy. And gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the | dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a |
| Tx:27.73 | the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a | dream when once the dreamer has been recognized. |
| Tx:27.74 | the dreams He brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The | dream of guilt is fading from your sight, although your eyes are |
| Tx:27.75 | Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy | |
| Tx:27.75 | brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this | dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream |
| Tx:27.75 | this dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. | Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your dreams |
| Tx:27.75 | in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to | dream about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his |
| Tx:27.76 | what you see as gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you | dream your Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen |
| Tx:27.76 | of charity and kindness offered you. And let no pain disturb your | dream of deep appreciation for his gifts to you. |
| Tx:27.77 | body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no | dream without it, nor does it exist without the dream, in which it |
| Tx:27.77 | world. There is no dream without it, nor does it exist without the | dream, in which it acts as if it were a person, to be seen and be |
| Tx:27.77 | to be seen and be believed. It takes the central place in every | dream, which tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born |
| Tx:27.78 | call its own. It looks about for special bodies which can share its | dream. Sometimes it dreams it is a conqueror of bodies weaker than |
| Tx:27.78 | a conqueror of bodies weaker than itself. But in some phases of the | dream, it is the slave of bodies that would hurt and torture it. |
| Tx:27.79 | adventures from the time of birth to dying is the theme of every | dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never |
| Tx:27.79 | the theme of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this | dream will never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself |
| Tx:27.79 | of this dream will never change nor will its purpose. Though the | dream itself takes many forms and seems to show a great variety of |
| Tx:27.79 | variety of places and events wherein its “hero” finds itself, the | dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson |
| Tx:27.80 | Thus are you not the dreamer but the | dream. And so you wander idly in and out of places and events which |
| Tx:27.80 | That this is all the body does is true, for it is but a figure in a | dream. But who reacts to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if |
| Tx:27.80 | for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in a | dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The instant that he |
| Tx:27.81 | of all the dreams the 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 |
| Tx:27.82 | the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us return the | dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as |
| Tx:27.82 | us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the | dream as separate from himself and done to him. Into eternity, where |
| Tx:27.83 | punishes because of all the sinful things the body does within its | dream. You have no power to make the body stop its evil deeds because |
| Tx:27.85 | but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle | dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy instant |
| Tx:27.86 | this is still true. For you would not react at all to figures in a | dream you knew that you were dreaming. Let them be as hateful and as |
| Tx:27.86 | have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your | dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, |
| Tx:28.18 | has happened but that you have put yourself to sleep and dreamed a | dream in which you were an alien to yourself and but a part of |
| Tx:28.18 | which you were an alien to yourself and but a part of someone else's | dream. |
| Tx:28.19 | Do you wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A | dream is like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted shown to |
| Tx:28.19 | dreamer, you perceive this much at least—that you have caused the | dream and can accept another dream as well. But for this change in |
| Tx:28.19 | at least—that you have caused the dream and can accept another | dream as well. But for this change in content of the dream, it must |
| Tx:28.19 | accept another dream as well. But for this change in content of the | dream, it must be realized that it is you who dreamed the dreaming |
| Tx:28.20 | you would exchange for this. This world is causeless, as is every | dream that anyone has dreamed within the world. No plans are possible |
| Tx:28.21 | 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 would change |
| Tx:28.21 | change its cause, and it is this you cannot do. The dreamer of a | dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of |
| Tx:28.22 | The miracle establishes you | dream a dream and that its content is not true. This is a crucial |
| Tx:28.22 | The miracle establishes you dream a | dream and that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in |
| Tx:28.22 | was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the | dream, and not a figure in the dream. He gives himself the |
| Tx:28.22 | did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the | dream. He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his |
| Tx:28.22 | which he dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the | dream has put together and has offered him to show him that his |
| Tx:28.23 | The separation started with the | dream the Father was deprived of His effects and powerless to keep |
| Tx:28.23 | powerless to keep them since He was no longer their Creator. In the | dream, the dreamer made himself, but what he made has turned against |
| Tx:28.23 | the dreamer had. And as he hated his Creator, so the figures in the | dream have hated him. His body is their slave which they abuse |
| Tx:28.23 | which appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the | dream. Effect and cause are first split off and then reversed, so |
| Tx:28.24 | of causation, not effect. For this confusion has produced the | dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor will the call |
| Tx:28.25 | see that it has no effects. Now are you freed from this much of the | dream; the world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move |
| Tx:28.27 | is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every | dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's |
| Tx:28.27 | to be the dreamer rather than deny the active role in making up the | dream. They are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of |
| Tx:28.28 | serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the | dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear |
| Tx:28.28 | ending of the dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your | dream of fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, |
| Tx:28.28 | of fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the | dream will fade away without effects. For it is your support that |
| Tx:28.30 | brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his own | dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the cause of sickness |
| Tx:28.30 | coming that you want above all things that seem to glisten in the | dream. |
| Tx:28.35 | your brother there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The | dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you |
| Tx:28.37 | the Atonement for yourself means not to give support to someone's | dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish |
| Tx:28.37 | with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his | dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both become illusions and |
| Tx:28.37 | identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil | dream you share. You can be sure of just one thing—that you are |
| Tx:28.38 | from him who dreams them. Thus you separate the dreamer from the | dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The dream is but |
| Tx:28.38 | dreamer from the dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The | dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, |
| Tx:28.38 | in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the | dream. It is the dream you fear and not the mind. You see them as the |
| Tx:28.38 | with the mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It is the | dream you fear and not the mind. You see them as the same because you |
| Tx:28.38 | mind. You see them as the same because you think that you are but a | dream. And what is real and what is but illusion in yourself you do |
| Tx:28.39 | Like you, your brother thinks he is a | dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your identity |
| Tx:28.39 | not brother made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the | dream, your brother. It is his reality that is your brother, as is |
| Tx:28.40 | yours, he will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his | dream. And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by |
| Tx:28.41 | do his part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his | dream instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams is |
| Tx:28.41 | own. Identity in dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the | dream are one. Who shares a dream must be the dream he shares because |
| Tx:28.41 | meaningless because the dreamer and the dream are one. Who shares a | dream must be the dream he shares because by sharing is a cause |
| Tx:28.41 | the dreamer and the dream are one. Who shares a dream must be the | dream he shares because by sharing is a cause produced. |
| Tx:28.42 | [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what made the | dream. |
| Tx:28.43 | that he was separated from his brother who, by sharing not his | dream, has left the space between them vacant. And the Father comes |
| Tx:28.44 | he will recognize himself. If you share not your brother's evil | dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place within the |
| Tx:28.48 | dreams if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he is not the | dream he made. And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you |
| Tx:28.48 | you both are free. Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil | dream and thus releases him. |
| Tx:28.49 | Remember if you share an evil | dream, you will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, |
| Tx:28.49 | Remember if you share an evil dream, you will believe you are the | dream you share. And fearing it, you will not want to know your own |
| Tx:28.49 | A middle ground where you can be a thing that is not you must be a | dream and cannot be the truth. |
| Tx:28.51 | And what that He created not can be? Let not your eyes behold a | dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to look |
| Tx:28.63 | this as purpose is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the | dream of separation and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for what it |
| Tx:28.64 | But never you alone. This world is but the | dream that you can be alone and think without affecting those apart |
| Tx:29.16 | The body does not change. It represents the larger | dream that change is possible. To change is to attain a state unlike |
| Tx:29.21 | that He is perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the | dream His Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the |
| Tx:29.21 | the dream His Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the | dream he made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not |
| Tx:29.21 | keep apart all living things who know not that they live. Within the | dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth—no more, |
| Tx:29.24 | as bright as shines in him. This is the spark that shines within the | dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking eyes will |
| Tx:29.25 | understood that dreams are dreams and that escape depends not on the | dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept and |
| Tx:29.25 | select some dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot | dream some dreams and wake from some, for you are either sleeping or |
| Tx:29.26 | hold you back as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every | dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to |
| Tx:29.26 | as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is but a | dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is |
| Tx:29.26 | can be disguised in pleasant form. But never is it absent from the | dream, for fear is the material of dreams from which they all are |
| Tx:29.27 | it is attacked. Depression or assault must be the theme of every | dream, for they are made of fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and |
| Tx:29.28 | and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, you think you like the | dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But whether it |
| Tx:29.28 | you think you like the dream. If it should fail, you think the | dream is sad. But whether it succeeds or fails is not its core but |
| Tx:29.29 | not the one who gave the “proper” role to every figure which the | dream contains. No one can fail but your idea of him, and there is no |
| Tx:29.29 | giving you a chance to help if this becomes the function of the | dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy. |
| Tx:29.30 | when he fails to take the part which you assigned to him in what you | dream your life was meant to be. He asks for help in every dream he |
| Tx:29.30 | what you dream your life was meant to be. He asks for help in every | dream he has, and you have help to give him if you see the function |
| Tx:29.30 | he has, and you have help to give him if you see the function of the | dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all dreams as |
| Tx:29.30 | serve the function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the | dream, each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is |
| Tx:29.30 | function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each | dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His love for |
| Tx:29.36 | A | dream is given you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in |
| Tx:29.36 | is given you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in hate. A | dream is given you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams |
| Tx:29.36 | you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams of death—a | dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil separate |
| Tx:29.36 | evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to share this | dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, |
| Tx:29.36 | hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the | dream its function, it was made for hate and will continue in death's |
| Tx:29.37 | Such is the core of fear in every | dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different |
| Tx:29.37 | been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different function for a | dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and |
| Tx:29.37 | of attack and separation, even though it was for this that every | dream was made. Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains without |
| Tx:29.38 | is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the | dream of danger and destruction, sin, and death; of madness and of |
| Tx:29.42 | that it was made to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a | dream of death, you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this |
| Tx:29.44 | here but must still have hope, some lingering illusion, or some | dream that there is something outside of himself that will bring |

| W1:185.7 | of God. This is no idle wish. These words do not request another | dream be given us. They do not ask for compromise nor try to make |

| W2:313.1 | Now let His true perception come to me that I may waken from the | dream of guilt and look within upon my sinlessness which You have |

| W2:331.1 | has left Itself? There is no will except the will of Love. Fear is a | dream and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is |

| W1:106.4 | for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They will not fade when | dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last forever, for they |
| W1:140.3 | The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the | dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The |

dreams (309) | ||
| Tx:2.13 | eye can sleep, but a sleeping eye can still see. What is seen in | dreams seems to be very real. The Bible mentions that “a deep sleep |
| Tx:3.64 | nightmares or in pleasant disguises in what seem to be his happier | dreams. Nothing that you have refused to accept can be brought into |
| Tx:6.50 | only this is real. You have chosen a sleep in which you have had bad | dreams, but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There |
| Tx:6.50 | of your dream when you hear Him, because you will be awake. Your | dreams have contained many of the ego's symbols, and they have |
| Tx:6.50 | the truth around you and in you, and you will no longer believe in | dreams because they will have no reality for you. |
| Tx:6.58 | and waking, so that they will understand they need not be afraid of | dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will call on the light |
| Tx:6.58 | will understand they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad | dreams come, they will call on the light themselves to dispel them. |
| Tx:6.60 | not know the difference. The Holy Spirit makes no distinction among | dreams. He merely shines them away. His light is always the call to |
| Tx:6.60 | to awake, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in | dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, |
| Tx:6.61 | When your body and your ego and your | dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever. Many think |
| Tx:8.82 | waking, not from sleeping. Sleep is withdrawing; waking is joining. | Dreams are illusions of joining, taking on the ego's distortions |
| Tx:8.82 | guidance. Yet the Holy Spirit, too, has use for sleep and can use | dreams on behalf of waking if you will let Him. |
| Tx:9.65 | to do so? You know from your own experience that what you see in | dreams you think is real as long as you are asleep. Yet the instant |
| Tx:9.66 | Would you bother to reconcile what happened in conflicting | dreams, or would you dismiss both together if you discovered that |
| Tx:9.67 | will have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. | Dreams will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and |
| Tx:9.68 | forgotten. And you have replaced your knowledge by an awareness of | dreams because you are afraid of your dissociation, not of what you |
| Tx:10.66 | of crucifixion still lies heavy on your eyes, but what you see in | dreams is not reality. While you perceive the Son of God as |
| Tx:10.66 | having nightmares. You who are beginning to wake are still aware of | dreams and have not yet forgotten them. The forgetting of dreams and |
| Tx:10.66 | aware of dreams and have not yet forgotten them. The forgetting of | dreams and the awareness of Christ comes with the awakening of others |
| Tx:12.29 | ego teaches that you always encounter your past, and because your | dreams were not holy, the future cannot be, and the present is |
| Tx:12.41 | Yet in the darkness in the private world of sleep, you see in | dreams, although your eyes are closed. And it is here that what you |
| Tx:12.41 | and rule your own perceptions. Yet for this, light must be excluded. | Dreams disappear when light has come and you can see. |
| Tx:12.43 | And seeing what He is, He knows His Father. Beyond your darkest | dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son within you, shining in perfect |
| Tx:12.43 | within you, shining in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your | dreams. And this you will see as you look with Him, for His vision is |
| Tx:12.67 | made for what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy | dreams of love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy |
| Tx:12.67 | lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the world of | dreams, where all perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet |
| Tx:12.67 | where all perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the | dreams of love lead unto knowledge. In them you see nothing fearful, |
| Tx:12.76 | dwells. You dwell not here, but in eternity. You travel but in | dreams while safe at home. Give thanks to every part of you that you |
| Tx:13.44 | Can God's Son lose himself in | dreams when God has placed within him the glad call to waken and be |

| Tx:17.1 | has betrayed himself, his brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in | dreams has not been really done. It is impossible to convince the |
| Tx:17.1 | done. It is impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for | dreams are what they are because of their illusion of reality. Only |
| Tx:17.12 | become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the end of | dreams and with the closing of the dream will have no meaning. Who |

| Tx:17.34 | all sorts of fanciful and fragmented illusions of love, set with | dreams of sacrifice and self-aggrandizement and interlaced with |
| Tx:17.77 | and dim imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear and fiery | dreams of hell. And it was nothing but the intolerable strain of |
| Tx:18.14 | Does not a world that seems quite real arise in | dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you |
| Tx:18.15 | Dreams are chaotic because they are governed by your conflicting | |
| Tx:18.16 | You recognize that what you see on waking is blotted out in | dreams. Yet on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In dreams |
| Tx:18.16 | out in dreams. Yet on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In | dreams you arrange everything. People become what you would have them |
| Tx:18.17 | Dreams are perceptual temper tantrums in which you literally scream, | |
| Tx:18.18 | Dreams show you that you have the power to make a world as you would | |
| Tx:18.18 | not be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be gone. In | dreams these features are not obscure. You seem to waken, and the |
| Tx:18.19 | seem to wake to is but another form of this same world you see in | dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your |
| Tx:18.19 | All your time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking | dreams have different forms, and that is all. Their content is the |
| Tx:18.19 | your fixed and insane idea that you can change it. In your waking | dreams, the special relationship [has a special place. It is the |
| 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 |
| Tx:18.20 | The Holy Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your | dreams and uses them as means for waking. You would have used them to |
| Tx:18.20 | them to remain asleep. We once said that the first change, before | dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy |
| Tx:18.20 | said that the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your | dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy |
| Tx:18.20 | dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy | dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in your special |
| Tx:18.22 | not the dream take hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that | dreams can make a world that is unreal. The wish to make it is |
| Tx:18.22 | has been removed because its purpose has been changed from one of | dreams to one of truth. You are not sure of this because you think it |
| Tx:18.22 | may be this that is the dream. You are so used to choosing between | dreams you do not see that you have made, at last, the choice between |
| Tx:18.23 | the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy | dreams from which awaking is so easy and so natural. For as your |
| Tx:18.23 | is so easy and so natural. For as your sleeping and your waking | dreams represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the real world |
| Tx:18.24 | truth to illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the way of | dreams. For you have gone from waking to sleeping and on and on to a |
| Tx:18.24 | and on and on to a yet deeper sleep. Each dream has led to other | dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to bring a light into the |
| Tx:18.41 | no purpose. For they are all but aspects of the plan to change your | dreams of fear to happy dreams from which you waken easily to |
| Tx:18.41 | all but aspects of the plan to change your dreams of fear to happy | dreams from which you waken easily to knowledge. Put yourself not in |
| Tx:18.44 | Happy | dreams come true, not because they are dreams, but only because they |
| Tx:18.44 | Happy dreams come true, not because they are | dreams, but only because they are happy. And so they must be loving. |
| Tx:18.45 | yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that remains of | dreams within it is that it is still a special relationship. Yet it |
| Tx:20.76 | means by which the Holy Spirit translates your nightmares into happy | dreams; your wild hallucinations that show you all the fearful |
| Tx:21.72 | dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in | dreams? Any way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with |
| Tx:21.72 | Any way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with anything. | Dreams have no reason in them. A flower turns into a poisoned spear, |
| Tx:22.18 | and not imagined, illusions must give way to truth and not to other | dreams that are but equally unreal. This is no difference. |
| Tx:22.47 | See how the means and the material of evil | dreams are nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in |
| Tx:23.34 | to function many times before. In truth it does not function, yet in | dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it seems most |
| Tx:24.32 | from their dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in | dreams of specialness. They hate the call that would awaken them, and |
| Tx:24.41 | the escape from pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In | dreams, effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the |
| Tx:24.49 | haunt you in the darkness of the night. He is your savior from the | dreams of fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear |
| Tx:25.34 | nothingness. And all their “evil” thoughts and “sinful” hopes, their | dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and |
| Tx:26.36 | to where he really is? For this is fact and does not change whatever | dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere and in |
| Tx:27.68 | him, and what he sees is separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his | dreams' reality because he does not see the part he plays in making |
| Tx:27.70 | the other possibility of cause if you be not the dreamer of your | dreams. And this is what you choose if you deny the cause of |
| Tx:27.70 | in time. The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and | dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of life. What could you |
| Tx:27.70 | between but life or death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, your | dreams or your reality? Yet if the choice is really given you, then |
| Tx:27.71 | is split between a tiny you and an enormous world, with different | dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams |
| Tx:27.71 | different dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and | dreams lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you dream |
| Tx:27.72 | world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the space between your | dreams and your reality. The little gap you do not even see, the |
| Tx:27.73 | You are the dreamer of the world of | dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful |
| Tx:27.74 | Rest in the Holy Spirit and allow His gentle | dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear |
| Tx:27.74 | you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He brings forgiving | dreams in which the choice is not who is the murderer and who shall |
| Tx:27.74 | is not who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the | dreams He brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The dream |
| Tx:27.74 | your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful now, for these are happy | dreams. |
| Tx:27.75 | Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your | dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to dream about |
| Tx:27.75 | do not brush aside his many gifts because he is not perfect in your | dreams. |
| Tx:27.78 | about for special bodies which can share its dream. Sometimes it | dreams it is a conqueror of bodies weaker than itself. But in some |
| Tx:27.81 | How willing are you to escape effects of all the | dreams the world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear |
| Tx:27.83 | thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which | dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. It brings |
| Tx:27.83 | placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your | dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. It brings its |
| Tx:28.19 | shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of | dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your |
| Tx:28.19 | asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for | dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is like a memory in |
| Tx:28.19 | purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of healing or for | dreams of death? A dream is like a memory in that it pictures what |
| Tx:28.19 | storehouse with an open door holds all your shreds of memories and | dreams. Yet if you are the dreamer, you perceive this much at least— |
| Tx:28.20 | In | dreams of murder and attack are you the victim in a dying body slain. |
| Tx:28.20 | attack are you the victim in a dying body slain. But in forgiving | dreams is no one asked to be the victim and the sufferer. These are |
| Tx:28.20 | no one asked to be the victim and the sufferer. These are the happy | dreams the miracle exchanges for your own. It does not ask you make |
| Tx:28.22 | a figure in the dream. He gives himself the consequences which he | dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the dream has put |
| Tx:28.25 | learn and shows you its effects are what you want. In His forgiving | dreams are the effects of yours undone and hated enemies perceived as |
| Tx:28.31 | of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the world of | dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and |
| Tx:28.34 | Count, then, the silver miracles and golden | dreams of happiness as all the treasures you would keep within the |
| Tx:28.37 | instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of | dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will |
| Tx:28.37 | can be sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in | dreams of fear. |
| Tx:28.38 | finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful | dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. |
| Tx:28.38 | you effects. You stand apart from them but not apart from him who | dreams them. Thus you separate the dreamer from the dream and join |
| Tx:28.39 | as a mind which brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he | dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his |
| Tx:28.39 | him. Your mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His body and his | dreams but seem to make a little gap, where yours have joined with |
| Tx:28.40 | And yet, between your minds there is no gap. To join his | dreams is thus to meet him not because his dreams would separate from |
| Tx:28.40 | is no gap. To join his dreams is thus to meet him not because his | dreams would separate from you. Therefore, release him, merely by |
| Tx:28.40 | release him, merely by your claim on brotherhood and not on | dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his |
| Tx:28.40 | will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And | dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions |
| Tx:28.41 | figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in | dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the dream are one. Who |
| Tx:28.42 | seems different because what is the same appears to be unlike. His | dreams are yours because you let them be. But if you took your own |
| Tx:28.42 | your own away would he be free of them and of his own as well. Your | dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the truth of yours. Yet |
| Tx:28.42 | the truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his | dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what |
| Tx:28.46 | Join not your brother's | dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son, the Father is. |
| Tx:28.47 | off the self from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to | dreams of fear. Who shares in them can never share in Him. But who |
| Tx:28.48 | It is the sharing of the evil | dreams of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and |
| Tx:28.48 | because it is the only one you [want] to have. You share no evil | dreams if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he is not the |
| Tx:28.52 | not depend on this. There is no gap which separates the truth from | dreams and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any |
| Tx:29.20 | your savior not because he thinks he is a body. For beyond his | dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first, before |
| Tx:29.22 | Yet you can let yourself be wakened. You can overlook your brother's | dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he becomes |
| Tx:29.22 | can you forgive him his illusions, he becomes your savior from your | dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of light where God |
| Tx:29.24 | holy are you, that the Son of God can be your savior in the midst of | dreams of desolation and disaster. See how eagerly he comes and steps |
| Tx:29.25 | Do you believe that truth can be but some illusions? They are | dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes |
| Tx:29.25 | the basis for the miracle, which means that you have understood that | dreams are dreams and that escape depends not on the dream, but only |
| Tx:29.25 | the miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are | dreams and that escape depends not on the dream, but only on awaking. |
| Tx:29.25 | depends not on the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some | dreams are kept and others wakened from? The choice is not between |
| Tx:29.25 | are kept and others wakened from? The choice is not between which | dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams or to awaken |
| Tx:29.25 | is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in | dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle does not select |
| Tx:29.25 | or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle does not select some | dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot dream some |
| Tx:29.25 | dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot dream some | dreams and wake from some, for you are either sleeping or awake. And |
| Tx:29.26 | The | dreams you think you like would hold you back as much as those in |
| Tx:29.26 | But never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material of | dreams from which they all are made. Their form can change, but they |
| Tx:29.28 | And does not this become the “reason” your attack is justified? The | dreams you think you like are those in which the functions you have |
| Tx:29.28 | wanted. It is the idea that they exist from which the fears arise. | Dreams are not wanted more or less. They are desired or not. And each |
| Tx:29.29 | How happy would your | dreams become if you were not the one who gave the “proper” role to |
| Tx:29.29 | your idea of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of | dreams the Holy Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may |
| Tx:29.29 | you a chance to help if this becomes the function of the dream. And | dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy. |
| Tx:29.30 | of the dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all | dreams as means to serve the function given Him. Because He loves the |
| Tx:29.34 | that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this quiet come the happy | dreams in which your hands are joined in innocence. These are not |
| Tx:29.34 | hands are joined in innocence. These are not hands that grasp in | dreams of pain. They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on |
| Tx:29.36 | A dream is given you in which you have forgiven him for all his | dreams of death—a dream of hope you share with him instead of |
| Tx:29.36 | a dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil separate | dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because |
| Tx:29.37 | from use by Him Who sees a different function for a dream. When | dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and separation, |
| Tx:29.37 | was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in the world of | dreams remains without the hope of change and betterment, for here is |
| Tx:29.37 | that this is so and seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving | dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a world outside |
| Tx:29.37 | dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all | dreams unto the peace of everlasting life. |
| Tx:29.48 | the future will be like the past and but a series of depressing | dreams in which all idols fail you one by one, and you see death and |
| Tx:29.49 | is within by splitting what you are between the two. You choose your | dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as if it had been given |
| Tx:29.50 | Yet where are | dreams but in a mind asleep? And can a dream succeed in making real |
| Tx:29.62 | has condemned. Judge not, because you make yourself a part of evil | dreams where idols are your “true” identity and your salvation from |
| Tx:29.65 | Nightmares are childish | dreams. The toys have turned against the child who thought he made |
| Tx:29.67 | all is joy because that is the purpose which it has. Only forgiving | dreams can enter here, for time is almost over. And the forms which |
| Tx:29.68 | Forgiving | dreams have little need to last. They are not made to separate the |
| Tx:29.68 | to prove the dream is being dreamed by someone else. And in these | dreams a melody is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not |
| Tx:29.68 | song again, he knows he never heard it not. And where is time, when | dreams of judgment have been put away? |
| Tx:29.70 | Forgiving | dreams remind you that you live in safety and have not attacked |
| Tx:29.70 | not attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and | dreams become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not another |
| Tx:29.70 | not another try to worship idols and to keep attack. Forgiving | dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the dream. And so they |
| Tx:29.70 | in the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full release from | dreams of fear. He does not fear his judgment, for he has judged no |
| Tx:30.1 | time it is attempted. And together will these steps lead you from | dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They |
| Tx:30.1 | will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving | dreams and out of pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they |
| Tx:30.47 | unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the | dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms |
| Tx:30.53 | equally forgotten in attack. God's Son needs no defense against his | dreams. His idols do not threaten him at all. His one mistake is that |
| Tx:30.55 | do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of all the | dreams of what you never were and seek no more to substitute the |
| Tx:30.56 | be the substitute for fear. Such is the only rule for happy | dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its |
| Tx:30.56 | gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain. | Dreams are for nothing. And the Son of God can have no need of them. |
| Tx:30.70 | will be made complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for | dreams of terror. For it is on this forgiveness rests and is but |
| Tx:30.72 | the only change that lets the real world rise to take the place of | dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless attack is justified, and |
| Tx:30.87 | must be forever unintelligible. This is not communication. Your dark | dreams are but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep. |
| Tx:30.87 | senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep. Look not to separate | dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared. They mean |
| Tx:30.87 | you write in sleep. Look not to separate dreams for meaning. Only | dreams of pardon can be shared. They mean the same to both of you. |
| Tx:30.91 | is nothing more than this—a prayer the miracle touch not some | dreams but keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality |
| Tx:30.92 | For you have asked it be withheld from power to heal all | dreams. There is no miracle you cannot have when you desire healing. |
| Tx:30.93 | perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no | dreams about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you will |
| Tx:31.13 | hurts himself? He has no enemy in truth. And can he be assailed by | dreams? |
| Tx:31.14 | them to the one alternative that is a different choice. But not in | dreams you made that this might be obscured to you. |
| Tx:31.81 | pain, and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing | dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of fear. |
| Tx:31.87 | altars unto joy.] He would not leave you comfortless, alone in | dreams of hell, but would release your minds from everything that |
| Tx:31.92 | A miracle has come to heal God's Son and close the door upon his | dreams of weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release. |
| W1:75.2 | the happy ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark | dreams now. The light has come. Today the time of light begins for |

| W1:140.5 | Peace be to you who have been cured in God and not in idle | dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and holiness cannot be |
