| Tx:5.59 | your mind has all the means at its disposal to side with Heaven or | earth, as it elects. But again, let us remember that both are in you. |
| Tx:10.69 | which you do not see. The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a new | earth, yet this cannot be literally true, for the eternal are not |
| Tx:10.75 | the good and the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and | earth become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. |

| Tx:26.45 | content. Yet God has given him a better Friend in Whom all power in | earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you think is friend |

| W2:326.1 | I have the power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on | earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will |

| W1:8.4 | closed. This is because you actually cannot see anything, and it is | easier to recognize that, no matter how vividly you may picture a |
| W1:39.10 | You may find these sessions | easier if you intersperse the applications with several short periods |
| W1:39.10 | concentration is very difficult at first. It will become much | easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and less distractible. |
| W1:63.5 | If you can close your eyes, you will probably find it | easier to let related thoughts come to you in the minute or two which |

| Tx:13.60 | learn it with him. And so you learn that what seemed hardest was the | easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make |
| Tx:16.58 | and they are totally unreal. This year is thus the time to make the | easiest decision that ever confronted you and also the only one. You |
| W1:133.9 | attracts your mind to it? What purpose does it serve? Here it is | easiest of all to be deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to |
| M:17.3 | It is | easiest to let error be corrected where it is most apparent, and |
easily (91) | ||
| Tx:2.66 | and therefore unamenable to independent learning. It is, however, | easily brought into alignment with a mind which has learned to look |
| Tx:4.63 | The habit of engaging with God and His creations is | easily made if you actively refuse to let your minds slip away. The |
| Tx:4.86 | as perception ever can. The gap is then so small that knowledge can | easily flow across it and obliterate it forever. You have very little |
| Tx:5.76 | makes it worthy for you. “Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord” is | easily explained if you remember that ideas increase only by being |
| Tx:6.35 | ego can accept the idea that return is necessary because it can so | easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you |
| Tx:6.59 | words: “Do only that!” This simple statement is perfectly clear, | easily understood, and very easily remembered. |
| Tx:6.59 | simple statement is perfectly clear, easily understood, and very | easily remembered. |

| Tx:11.21 | trust in the name of the complete trust I have in you, and we will | easily accomplish the goal of perfection together. For perfection is |
| Tx:11.84 | for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed perception is | easily translated into knowledge, for only perception is capable of |
| Tx:13.14 | and by so doing you have denied the witness unto yours. You could as | easily have freed him from the past and lifted from his mind the |
| Tx:13.47 | it and seeing it quite clearly. The Holy Spirit uses logic as | easily and as well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are |
| Tx:13.64 | that it should never be forgotten. The guiltless learner learns so | easily because his thoughts are free. Yet this entails the |
| Tx:14.29 | of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You will see how | easily all that He asks can be accomplished. |
| Tx:17.12 | God's perfection. From the forgiven world, the Son of God is lifted | easily into his home. And there he knows that he has always rested |
| Tx:17.54 | The experience of an instant, however compelling it may be, is | easily forgotten if you allow time to close over it. It must be kept |

| Tx:18.23 | the truth of Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of waking is | easily transferred to its reality. For this dream comes from your |
| Tx:18.41 | to change your dreams of fear to happy dreams from which you waken | easily to knowledge. Put yourself not in charge of this, for you |
| Tx:18.42 | build your part in the Atonement and make sure that you fulfill it | easily. And with Him you will build a ladder planted in the solid |
| Tx:19.12 | unto its coming and to return their messages to you. Faith is as | easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises |

| Tx:19.29 | discontinuous. And this is but an error in perception which can be | easily corrected in the mind, although the body's eyes will see no |
| Tx:19.43 | to all the world. And barriers will fall away before their coming as | easily as those which you would interpose will be surmounted. |

| Tx:21.22 | The Holy Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it | easily enough. But you have not left open and unoccupied the altar |
| Tx:21.72 | giant, and a mouse roars like a lion. And love is turned to hate as | easily. This is no army, but a madhouse. What seems to be a planned |
| Tx:22.31 | would be madness to attempt to pass it. Yet reason sees through it | easily because it is an error. The form it takes cannot conceal its |
| Tx:22.44 | hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you will learn how | easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It is no solid |
| Tx:22.50 | your brother. And not one that truth cannot pass over lightly and so | easily that you must be convinced, in spite of what you thought it |
| Tx:22.53 | at all to think how He can change the role of means and end so | easily in what God loves and would have free forever. But be you |
| Tx:22.60 | this belief has done. You see yourself as vulnerable, frail, and | easily destroyed and at the mercy of countless attackers more |

| Tx:23.51 | coming from this choice shows you the battle is not real and | easily escaped. Bodies may battle, but the clash of forms is |
| Tx:24.69 | This course makes no attempt to teach what cannot | easily be learned. Its scope does not exceed your own, except to say |
| Tx:25.49 | it, and it is given you. All that you made can serve salvation | easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:27.7 | the body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life, how | easily destroyed is what you love. Depression speaks of death and |
| Tx:27.37 | answer is. [And where its answer is, a problem must be simple and be | easily resolved.] It must be pointless to attempt to solve a problem |
| Tx:27.63 | problem be resolved if it is seen as hurting him and also very | easily removed. |
| Tx:27.89 | None has a different cause from all the rest, and all of them are | easily undone by but a single lesson truly learned. Salvation is a |
| Tx:28.55 | on which it has been set. And if that path is changed, it walks as | easily another way. It takes no sides and judges not the road it |
| Tx:30.61 | The real world is a state in which the mind has learned how | easily do idols go when they are still perceived, but wanted not. How |
| Tx:30.90 | he is not bound by loss or suffering in any form because it can so | easily be changed. This demonstrates that it was never real and could |
| Tx:31.17 | you? What could he want, but what you want of him? Herein is life as | easily as death, for what you choose, you choose as well for him. Two |
| Tx:31.86 | How do you make the choice? How | easily is this explained! You always choose between your weakness and |
| W1:2.1 | everything in an area or you will introduce strain. Merely glance | easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to avoid selection by |
| W1:32.1 | of the world you see because you invented it. You can give it up as | easily as you made it up. You will see it or not see it, as you wish. |
| W1:70.13 | in the clouds looking vainly for idols there when you could so | easily walk on into the light of real salvation. Try to pass the |
| W1:73.6 | We have repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is | easily passed and cannot stand between you and your salvation. The |
| W1:74.11 | to mistake these attempts for withdrawal, but the difference is | easily detected. If you are succeeding, you will feel a deep sense of |
| W1:108.6 | are the same has special usefulness because it can be tried so | easily and seen as true. And when this special case has proved it |
| W1:124.2 | the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself. How | easily do errors disappear and death give place to everlasting life. |
| W1:124.6 | of suffering in anyone in times gone by and times as yet to come, as | easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their thoughts are |
| W1:130.11 | Dismiss temptation | easily today whenever it arises merely by remembering the limits on |
| W1:131.16 | Put out your hand and see how | easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. |
| W1:132.2 | Yet is salvation | easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his |
| W1:133.14 | learning this? It is far more than merely letting you make choices | easily and without pain. Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and |
| W1:134.2 | This twisted view of what forgiveness means is | easily corrected when you can accept the fact that pardon is not |
| W1:135.5 | first what you defend. It must be something that is very weak and | easily assaulted. It must be something made easy prey, unable to |
| W1:137.9 | Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how | easily salvation can be yours, how little practice you need undertake |
| W1:161.6 | of our text, where it is often emphasized. This is the reason bodies | easily become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look |
| W1:164.2 | The world fades | easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far |
| W1:164.3 | quiet is the time you give to spend with Him beyond the world. How | easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all your sorrows |
| W1:182.6 | protection. He is far from home. He is so little that He seems so | easily shut out, His tiny Voice so readily obscured, His calls for |
| W1:183.4 | and unwanted thing before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how | easily you will forget the names of all the gods you value. They have |
| W1:188.2 | or believe it has been lost already or was never there? It can so | easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is not there |
| W1:191.7 | Be glad today how very | easily is hell undone. You need but tell yourself: |
| W1:193.7 | obvious that it appears in countless forms and yet is recognized as | easily in all of them if one but wants to see the simple lesson there. |
| W1:193.16 | that the next one is free of the one before. The chains of time are | easily unloosened in this way. |
| W1:196.4 | is but willingness. And what would seem to need a thousand years can | easily be done in just one instant by the grace of God. |
| W1:197.2 | How | easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their |
| W1:200.3 | Yet you can ask as | easily for love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that |
| W1:200.3 | eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens | easily to welcome you? |
| W2:WF.2 | chains so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure, less | easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. What can |
| W2:226.2 | in a place of vain desires and of broken dreams when Heaven can so | easily be mine? |
| W2:272.2 | God, could be content with dreams when Heaven can be chosen just as | easily as hell and love will happily replace all fear. |
| M:4.23 | perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of God acquires, is | easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is recognized. |
| M:8.5 | voice he hears than to that of a softer one? Will he dismiss more | easily a whispered demand to kill than a shout? And do the number of |
| M:11.4 | who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. How | easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped! It is not the |
| M:16.2 | he can in his own way. Routines as such are dangerous because they | easily become gods in their own right, threatening the very goals for |
| M:16.4 | and let him do so. Duration is not the major concern. One can | easily sit still an hour with closed eyes and accomplish nothing. One |
| M:16.4 | still an hour with closed eyes and accomplish nothing. One can as | easily give God only an instant, and in that instant join with Him |
| M:16.7 | How simply and how | easily does the day slip by for the teacher of God who has accepted |
| M:16.9 | simply does nothing. Its powerlessness is the reason it can be so | easily escaped. What has no effects can hardly terrify. |
| M:17.2 | that reinforces it. Nor is this always obvious. It can, in fact, be | easily concealed beneath a wish to help. It is this double wish that |
| M:17.3 | with the call for help becoming his one appeal. This then is | easily responded to with just one answer, and this answer will enter |
| M:23.4 | cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind. God enters | easily, for these are the true conditions for your coming home. |

| Tx:15.100 | so easy! Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore very | easy to understand. Do not try to project it from you and see it |
| Tx:17.8 | truth. The bridge between that world and this is so little and so | easy to cross that you could not believe it is the meeting place of |
| Tx:18.23 | the real world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so | easy and so natural. For as your sleeping and your waking dreams |
| Tx:18.39 | It is this that makes the holy instant so | easy and so natural. You make it difficult because you insist there |
| Tx:18.39 | we have emphasized that you need understand nothing. Salvation is | easy just because it asks nothing that you cannot give right now. |
| Tx:18.40 | it has been your decision to make everything that is natural and | easy for you impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if |

| Tx:22.44 | How | easy is it to offer this miracle to everyone! No one who has received |

| Tx:27.84 | by pushing guilt outside yourself but never letting go! It is not | easy to perceive the jest when all around you do your eyes behold its |

| Tx:30.17 | This much is obvious and paves the way for the next | easy step. |
| Tx:30.64 | How light and | easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world of fear |
| Tx:31.1 | it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make such an | easy lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is false |
| Tx:31.2 | very obvious. It merely goes from one apparent lesson to the next in | easy steps which lead you gently from one to another with no strain |
| Tx:31.4 | Who could maintain that lessons such as these are | easy? Yet you have learned more than this. You have continued, taking |
| Tx:31.51 | Thus are the Holy Spirit's lesson plans arranged in | easy steps that though there be some lack of ease at times and some |

| W1:68.6 | what you regard as major grievances. Some of these will be quite | easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold |
| W1:91.4 | have felt the strength in you which makes all miracles within your | easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness |
| W1:109.8 | to walk with lightened steps along the road that suddenly seems | easy as they go. |
| W1:133.13 | desirable or not worth the slightest effort to obtain. Choosing is | easy just because of this. Complexity is nothing but a screen of |
| W1:135.5 | that is very weak and easily assaulted. It must be something made | easy prey, unable to protect itself, and needing your defense. What |
| W1:135.15 | It is, perhaps, not | easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses with the |

| W2:296.2 | And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one and possible of | easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit |
| W2:296.2 | His teaching to persuade the world through us to seek and find the | easy path to God! |
| M:4.8 | not want and keep what you do.” How simple is the obvious! And how | easy to do! The teacher of God needs this period of respite. He has |
| M:4.10 | state fully reflected. From here the way to Heaven is open and | easy. In fact, it is here. Who would “go” anywhere if peace of mind |
| M:4.15 | gentleness, for it is in this that the function of salvation becomes | easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. To those to whom |
| M:14.4 | can learn, he can learn it. He does not judge it either as hard or | easy. His Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will show him |
| M:25.5 | Yet, given a remaining wish to be deceived, deception is made | easy. Now the “power” is no longer a genuine ability and cannot be |
eaten (1) | ||
| Tx:3.75 | But God could not have forbidden it or it could not have been | eaten. If God knows His Children, and I assure you that He does, |
eating (1) | ||
| Tx:3.76 | Eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a symbolic expression | |
eccentric (1) | ||
| W1:134.1 | of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere | eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest salvation on a whim. |
eccentricity (1) | ||
| W1:126.5 | has no grounds on which to rest dependably and sure. It is an | eccentricity in which you sometimes choose to give indulgently an |
echo (10) | ||
| Tx:17.52 | Throughout the Sonship is the song of freedom heard in joyous | echo of your choice. You have joined with many in the holy instant, |
| Tx:18.12 | Whom God has called should hear no substitutes. Their call is but an | echo of the original error which shattered Heaven. And what became of |
| Tx:26.37 | Is this a hindrance to the place whereon he stands? Is any | echo from the past that he may hear a fact in what is there to hear |
| Tx:31.95 | will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will | echo through the world with every choice they make. For we are one in |
| W1:97.8 | exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them | echo round the world through Him: |
| W1:100.3 | dim and lusterless. And no one laughs, because all laughter can but | echo yours. |
| W1:123.5 | you become the messenger who brings His Voice with you and let it | echo round and round the world. |

| Tx:29.31 | lingers still. There is a place in you which time has left, and | echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no |

| W1:157.1 | 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 ushers in a |
| W1:170.13 | Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to God and | echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have |

| Tx:2.88 | you imply that if you do not think about something, it will have no | effect on you. And this is true enough. |
| Tx:2.89 | you say, “Just an idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no | effect. You also speak of some actions as “thoughtless,” implying |
| Tx:2.90 | persuading him that he can think whatever he wants without any real | effect at all. |
| Tx:2.93 | their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of cause and | effect, the most fundamental law there is in this world. I would |
| Tx:2.94 | intended. Nor would it induce the healthy respect for true cause and | effect which every miracle worker must have. |
| Tx:2.97 | When man miscreates he is in pain. The cause and | effect principle here is temporarily a real expediter. Actually, |
| Tx:2.97 | also be capitalized, is His Son. This entails a set of Cause and | Effect relationships which are totally different from those which man |
| Tx:3.7 | truth. Only right-mindedness can create in a way that has any real | effect. Pragmatically, what has no real effect has no real existence. |
| Tx:3.7 | in a way that has any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no real | effect has no real existence. Its effect, then, is emptiness. Being |

| Tx:3.27 | a miracle-based frame of reference. It also has the disastrous | effect of denying the creative power of the miracle. |
| Tx:3.62 | which man suffers is the belief that what he judged against has no | effect. This cannot be true unless he also believes that what he |
| Tx:4.13 | of the ego-oriented teacher's goal. He is concerned with the | effect of his ego on other egos and therefore interprets their |
| Tx:4.78 | a decision about your future effort, a decision which will remain in | effect unless you change the decision. |
| Tx:4.87 | pain is an ego-illusion and can never induce more than a temporary | effect. The rewards of God, however, are immediately recognized as |
| Tx:5.5 | them. Only the healed mind can experience revelation with lasting | effect, because revelation is an experience of pure joy. If you do |
| Tx:7.15 | Laws must be communicated if they are to be helpful. In | effect, they must be translated for those who speak a different |
| Tx:9.6 | this truth is yours. His errors cannot change this and can have no | effect at all on the truth in you. To perceive errors in anyone and |
| Tx:9.14 | must undo what you have made in order to be forgiven. What has no | effect does not exist, and to the Holy Spirit, the effects of error |
| Tx:10.59 | It is not until beliefs are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In | effect, then, what you believe, you do see. That is what I meant when |
| Tx:11.44 | accept your invulnerability, you are recognizing that attack has no | effect. Although you have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you |
| Tx:12.27 | now from a past reference point, obscuring their present reality. In | effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react to your |
| Tx:13.3 | The separation is merely a faulty formulation of reality with no | effect at all. The miracle, without a function in Heaven, is needful |
| Tx:13.45 | kind of reconciliation in His Mind for you, and one which He will | effect as surely as the ego will not effect what it attempts. |
| Tx:13.45 | for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the ego will not | effect what it attempts. |
| Tx:13.69 | chosen guiltlessness, freedom, and joy. It is not a cause, but an | effect. It is the natural result of choosing right, attesting to your |

| Tx:16.22 | means that you are willing to judge yourself accordingly. Cause and | effect are very clear in the ego's thought system because all your |
| Tx:16.24 | very careful to avoid the obvious and not to see the real cause and | effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet within you is |
| Tx:17.1 | for only then does it become perfectly apparent that they had no | effect on reality at all and did not change it. Fantasies change |
| Tx:18.3 | appears to introduce quite variable behavior, a far more serious | effect lies in the fragmented perception from which the behavior |
| Tx:18.53 | your wish to make destructive what cannot destroy can have no real | effect at all. And what God created is only what He would have it be, |
| Tx:21.25 | When vision is denied, confusion of cause and | effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure |
| Tx:21.25 | inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the | effect and make effect appear to be a cause. This seeming |
| Tx:21.25 | purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make | effect appear to be a cause. This seeming independence of effect |
| Tx:21.25 | and make effect appear to be a cause. This seeming independence of | effect enables it to be regarded as standing by itself and capable of |
| Tx:21.25 | father and not son to Him. This is the same desire. The Son is the | effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, |
| Tx:21.26 | power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and Father, | effect and Source. |
| Tx:21.54 | but there, where this same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true | effect of this same Source as is the answer, must therefore be |
| Tx:21.60 | thoughts that enter into what but seems like yours alone have no | effect at all on what is yours? If minds are joined, this is |
| Tx:21.77 | want to see must be your choice. This is a course in cause and not | effect. |
| Tx:24.41 | from pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In dreams, | effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream |
| Tx:24.66 | What is immortal cannot be attacked; what is but temporal has no | effect. Only the purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that |
| Tx:26.32 | has been replaced. Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no | effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed and everything |
| Tx:26.49 | and seems to be external to the mind is not outside at all but an | effect of what is in and has not left its source. |
| Tx:26.60 | Cause and | effect are one, not separate. God wills you learn what always has |
| Tx:26.61 | consequence are brought together, not kept separate. The healing of | effect without the cause can merely shift effects to other forms. And |
| Tx:26.75 | untrue, must be already in your mind. And this illusion is but one | effect which it engenders and one form in which its outcome is |
| Tx:27.16 | to your brother and yourself. You must attest his sins had no | effect on you to demonstrate they were not real. How else could he be |
| Tx:27.16 | And how could his innocence be justified unless his sins have no | effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because |
| Tx:27.16 | been healed. A miracle of healing proves that separation is without | effect. What you would prove to him, you will believe. The power of |
| Tx:27.31 | And thus the picture has no cause at all. Who can perceive | effect without a cause? What can the causeless be but nothingness? |
| Tx:27.79 | again, and still again, and yet once more that it is cause and not | effect. And you are its effect and cannot be its cause. |
| Tx:27.79 | and yet once more that it is cause and not effect. And you are its | effect and cannot be its cause. |
| Tx:27.85 | have overlooked the cause entirely? He bids you bring each terrible | effect to Him that you may look together on its foolish cause and |
| Tx:27.86 | them be as hateful and as vicious as they may, they could have no | effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This |
| Tx:28.18 | For this impossible desire, he does not believe that he is Love's | effect and must be cause because of what he is. The cause of healing |
| Tx:28.18 | The cause of healing is the only Cause of everything. It has but one | effect. And in that recognition, causelessness is given no effects |
| Tx:28.19 | is you who dreamed the dreaming that you do not like. It is but an | effect which you have caused, and you would not be cause of this |
| Tx:28.19 | an effect which you have caused, and you would not be cause of this | effect. |
| Tx:28.23 | appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the dream. | Effect and cause are first split off and then reversed, so that |
| Tx:28.23 | Effect and cause are first split off and then reversed, so that | effect becomes a cause; the cause, effect. |
| Tx:28.23 | off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; the cause, | effect. |
| Tx:28.24 | which proceeds to go the other way, begins. This final step is an | effect of what has gone before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is |
| Tx:28.24 | first step in giving back to cause the function of causation, not | effect. For this confusion has produced the dream, and while it |
| Tx:28.26 | show the mind made sickness and employed the body to be victim or | effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not teach the whole. |
| Tx:28.29 | prevents the cause of sickness and perceived effects. Healing is the | effect of minds which join, as sickness comes from minds which |
| Tx:28.32 | The cause of pain is separation, not the body, which is only its | effect. Yet separation is but empty space, enclosing nothing, doing |
| Tx:28.58 | out upon the body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious | effect of what was made in secret, in agreement with another's secret |
| Tx:28.66 | will blow upon it, and the rain will beat against it but with no | effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house will stand |
| Tx:29.11 | The miracle is not a separate thing which happens suddenly, as an | effect without a cause. Nor is it in itself a cause. But where its |
| W1:13.8 | arouse. This is our first attempt at stating an explicit cause and | effect relationship of a kind which you are very inexperienced in |
| W1:16.1 | a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no | effect. Everything you see is the result of your thoughts. There is |
| W1:17.1 | This idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and | effect as it really operates. You see no neutral things because you |
| W1:19.1 | Thinking and its results are really simultaneous, for cause and | effect are never separate. |
| W1:20.5 | What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of cause and | effect as it operates in the world. |
| W1:23.2 | change the world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an | effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about |
| W1:26.3 | thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their | effect is to weaken you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked |
| W1:32.1 | Today we are continuing to develop the theme of cause and | effect. You are not the victim of the world you see because you |
| W1:42.1 | thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets forth a cause and | effect relationship which explains why you cannot fail in your |
| W1:88.5 | me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have no real | effect on me at all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws |
| W1:91.6 | the longer practice periods with this statement of true cause and | effect relationships: |
| W1:108.13 | Our very simple lesson for today will teach you much. | Effect and cause will be far better understood from this time on, and |
| W1:122.4 | gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied value, trivial | effect, or transient promise never to be kept can hold more hope than |
| W1:126.2 | thoughts, nor theirs on [yourself]. Therefore your attitudes have no | effect on them, and their appeals for help are not in any way related |
| W1:131.8 | is not of Him. He did not make two minds, with Heaven as the glad | effect of one and earth the other's sorry outcome that is Heaven's |
| W1:131.11 | ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no | effect, and neither source nor substance in the truth. |
| W1:136.4 | —a happening beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real | effect on you instead of one effected by your self. |
| W1:136.7 | become symbols standing for attack upon the whole, successful in | effect, and never to be seen as whole again. And yet you have |
| W1:140.7 | that it can be cured. There is no remedy the world provides that can | effect a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the |
| W1:186.9 | with His creation. All the images His Son appears to make have no | effect on what he is. They blow across his mind like windswept leaves |
| W1:190.7 | pain. And yet the world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an | effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you will. |
| W2:326.1 | Mind, a holy thought that never left its home. I am forever Your | Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me, |
| W2:326.1 | it is Your will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its | Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an Effect of God, |
| W2:326.1 | Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an | Effect of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And as it |
| M:4.3 | of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and | effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the |
| M:5.7 | about creation. Does not this follow of necessity? Place cause and | effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the learning will |
| M:5.7 | with them also go all the effects they seemed to cause. Cause and | effect but replicate creation. Seen in their proper perspective, |
| M:5.10 | must remain as God created him. They recognize illusions can have no | effect. The truth in their minds reaches out to the truth in the |
effected (3) | ||
| Tx:21.18 | so much given for so little. In the holy instant is this exchange | effected and maintained. Here is the world you do not want brought to |
| Tx:29.10 | Yet though you do not see them, they are there. Their cause has been | effected, and they must be present where their cause has entered in. |

| Tx:1.95 | degrees of misperception. It is a device for perception-correction, | effective quite apart from either the degree or the direction of the |
| Tx:2.92 | but this is only because the underlying depreciation was too | effective for tolerance. The truth is that there are no “idle” |
| Tx:4.25 | when it involves physical presence. Thinking about another ego is as | effective in changing relative perception as is physical interaction. |
| Tx:4.87 | there is another way. Conditioning by rewards has always been more | effective than conditioning by pain because pain is an ego-illusion |
| Tx:11.43 | Because you had attacked yourself and believed that the attack was | effective, you behold yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving |

| Tx:2.46 | For perfect | effectiveness, the Atonement belongs at the center of the inner |

| Tx:1.93 | which placed him in it originally. He can never control the | effects of fear himself because he made fear and believes in what he |
| Tx:5.62 | the basic conflict itself, he was very accurate in describing its | effects. |
| Tx:5.66 | of decision is a judgment which is anything but ineffectual. Its | effects will follow automatically until the decision is changed. This |
| Tx:5.69 | accepting the solution of undoing. You would be responsible for the | effects of all your wrong thinking if it could not be undone. The |
| Tx:5.81 | to learn now is that only infinite patience can produce immediate | effects. This is the way in which time is exchanged for eternity. |
| Tx:7.39 | apart from what the potential is used for. That is a decision. The | effects of the ego's decision in this matter are so apparent that |
| Tx:7.88 | quickly to the Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their | effects will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a whole. |
| Tx:8.86 | and also its translators to be entirely literal about fear and its | effects but not about love and its results. Thus, “hellfire” means |
| Tx:9.14 | What has no effect does not exist, and to the Holy Spirit, the | effects of error are totally non-existent. By steadily and |
| Tx:9.14 | non-existent. By steadily and consistently canceling out all its | effects everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that the ego does |
| Tx:9.23 | is real. Having made it real, he then attempts to dispel its | effects by depreciating the importance of the dreamer. This would be |
| Tx:9.27 | by continually extending it and accepting its acknowledgment. Its | effects assure him it is there. |
| Tx:9.31 | become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit in you except by His | effects? You cannot see Him with your eyes nor hear Him with your |
| Tx:10.40 | that fear is not real. We have accepted the fact already that its | effects can be dispelled merely by denying their reality. The next |
| Tx:10.40 | reality. The next step is obviously to recognize that what has no | effects does not exist. Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what |
| Tx:10.43 | regard a delusional system without fear, for it cannot have any | effects if its source is not true. Fear becomes more obviously |
| Tx:11.45 | of attack except by recognizing that your attack on yourself had no | effects. For others do react to attack if they perceive it, and if |
| Tx:11.62 | has been redeemed. You cannot see the invisible. Yet if you see its | effects, you know it must be there. By perceiving what it does, you |
| Tx:13.73 | alone. No thought of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its | effects. Every decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in |
| Tx:13.79 | of God is not a source of guilt. What cannot happen can have no | effects to fear. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who loves you and |
| Tx:14.11 | power of God if you teach only this. You will not be exempt from the | effects of this most holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is |
| Tx:14.60 | you only what you are now. Learning has been accomplished before its | effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the past, but its |
| Tx:14.67 | always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle brings the | effects which only guiltlessness can bring and thus establishes the |
| Tx:14.73 | Only those who see they cannot know unless the | effects of understanding are with them can really learn at all. And |
| Tx:14.75 | you did them through Him. It is impossible to deny the Source of | effects so powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and |
| Tx:16.14 | position. You would have perfect faith in the Holy Spirit and in the | effects of His teaching if you were not afraid to acknowledge what He |
| Tx:16.22 | and in avoiding those which spoke for the cause of truth and its | effects. |
| Tx:16.32 | The special love relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive | effects of hate by finding a haven in the storm of guilt. It makes no |
| Tx:17.54 | other is not to lose the instant but to make it powerless in its | effects. You have received the holy instant, but you have established |
| Tx:17.56 | you have so freely given to each other, you will also accept the | effects of the holy instant and use them to correct all your mistakes |
| Tx:19.48 | flight or hinder the advance of summer? Can it interfere with the | effects of summer's sun upon a garden covered by the snow? See but |
| Tx:20.61 | goal of holiness? For holiness is merely the result of letting the | effects of sin be lifted so what was always true is recognized. To |
| Tx:20.68 | offers all this to you. As it was given you, so will be its | effects. And as its holy purpose was not made by you, the means by |
| Tx:21.16 | is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all | effects of your mistakes will disappear. |
| Tx:21.25 | Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, producing real | effects. Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse the |
| Tx:21.25 | he seems to be the cause, producing real effects. Nothing can have | effects without a cause and to confuse the two is merely to fail to |
| Tx:21.28 | made in secret, and the instant of release has come to you. All its | effects are gone because its source has been uncovered. It is its |
| Tx:21.30 | source of sin is gone. You may imagine that you still experience its | effects, but it is not your purpose, and you no longer want it. No |
| Tx:21.77 | be revealed to you through vision? How this decision leads to its | effects is not your problem. But what you want to see must be your |
| Tx:21.78 | three. And then it will be clear to you that, as you look on the | effects of sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask yourself, |
| Tx:22.2 | The holiness of your relationship forgives you both, undoing the | effects of what you both believed and saw. And with their going is |
| Tx:22.28 | beyond this willingness if you would be released entirely from all | effects of sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for yourself? Can |
| Tx:24.36 | it is quite obvious. The purpose of attack is in the mind, and its | effects are felt but where it is. Nor is mind limited; so must it be |
| Tx:25.33 | from what you wish. It is your wish that makes it what it is in its | effects on you. Because you chose it as a means to gain these same |
| Tx:25.33 | effects on you. Because you chose it as a means to gain these same | effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. |
| Tx:25.44 | day seems painful to the eyes grown long accustomed to the dim | effects perceived at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and |
| Tx:25.77 | all the universe—to perfect peace, complete deliverance from all | effects of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every |
| Tx:25.78 | vengeance not with justice? Are you willing to be released from all | effects of sin? You cannot answer this until you see all that the |
| Tx:26.49 | where all reality must be. Ideas leave not their source, and their | effects but seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What |
| Tx:26.50 | answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its | effects be utterly undone and without cause. Perception's laws must |
| Tx:26.53 | needs no defense to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no | effects. Who looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only |
| Tx:26.59 | in that you still feel guilty, though without understanding why. | Effects are seen as separate from their source and seem to be beyond |
| Tx:26.61 | separate. The healing of effect without the cause can merely shift | effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's Son could |
| Tx:26.61 | by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its | effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is |
| Tx:26.64 | is the answer to attack of any kind. So is attack deprived of its | effects, and hate is answered in the name of love. To you to whom it |
| Tx:26.70 | of loss is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its | effects will come to you. In this form is the error still obscured |
| Tx:26.71 | Who can feel desolation except now? A future cause as yet has no | effects. And therefore must it be that if you fear, there is a |
| Tx:26.72 | it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict | effects without a cause? And who could fear effects unless he thought |
| Tx:26.72 | cause. Who can predict effects without a cause? And who could fear | effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous |
| Tx:26.72 | what is here and now. Yet only here and now its cause must be if its | effects already have been judged as fearful. And in overlooking this, |
| Tx:26.73 | purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all | effects that you will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till |
| Tx:26.74 | if it does? Its cause is here if it appears at all. Why are not its | effects apparent then? Why in the future? And you seek to be content |
| Tx:26.76 | death? Delay is senseless, and the “reasoning” which would maintain | effects of present cause must be delayed until a future time is |
| Tx:26.86 | senseless—equally without a cause or consequence and cannot have | effects of any kind. Their Presence is obscured by any veil which |
| Tx:27.6 | that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever done or ever had | effects of any kind; that no reproach he laid upon his heart was ever |
| Tx:27.16 | guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because they would entail | effects which cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In their |
| Tx:27.19 | prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish wish with no | effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your brother |
| Tx:27.36 | clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited | effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there must be a way in which your |
| Tx:27.46 | of peace into the battleground and demonstrates that war has no | effects. For all the hurt that war has sought to bring, the broken |
| Tx:27.53 | attack will stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its | effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold |
| Tx:27.53 | your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold its multiplied | effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be far less than |
| Tx:27.58 | are called. It merely proves that what they represent has no | effects. And this it proves because its own effects have come to take |
| Tx:27.58 | they represent has no effects. And this it proves because its own | effects have come to take their place. It matters not the name by |
| Tx:27.58 | witness unto life. It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the | effects of life it brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain |
| Tx:27.61 | world. The holy instant will replace all sin if you but carry its | effects with you. And no one will elect to suffer more. What better |
| Tx:27.66 | a cause. Nor will the cause be changed by seeing it apart from its | effects. The cause produces the effects which then bear witness to |
| Tx:27.66 | changed by seeing it apart from its effects. The cause produces the | effects which then bear witness to the cause and not themselves. |
| Tx:27.66 | bear witness to the cause and not themselves. Look, then, beyond | effects. It is not here the cause of suffering and sin must lie. And |
| Tx:27.70 | of which is clearly recognized? Who could be free to choose between | effects when only one is seen as up to him? |
| Tx:27.80 | real? The instant that he sees them as they are, they have no more | effects on him because he understands he gave them their effects by |
| Tx:27.80 | no more effects on him because he understands he gave them their | effects by causing them and making them seem real. |
| Tx:27.81 | How willing are you to escape | effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your wish to |
| Tx:27.82 | become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real | effects. Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that |
| Tx:27.84 | but without their trifling cause. Without the cause do its | effects seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is |
| Tx:27.85 | laughter does the Holy Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to | effects. How else could He correct your error, who have overlooked |
| Tx:27.85 | together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge | effects, but He has judged their cause. And by His judgment are |
| Tx:27.85 | effects, but He has judged their cause. And by His judgment are | effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My |
| Tx:28.1 | long since gone, but being kept in memory, appears to have immediate | effects. This world was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are |

| Tx:4.8 | can stand on two foundations. Nothing can reach the Soul from the | ego, and nothing from the Soul can strengthen the ego or reduce the |
| Tx:4.8 | the Soul from the ego, and nothing from the Soul can strengthen the | ego or reduce the conflict within it. The ego is a contradiction. |
| Tx:4.8 | Soul can strengthen the ego or reduce the conflict within it. The | ego is a contradiction. Man's self and God's Self are in opposition. |
| Tx:4.8 | irreconcilable because the Soul cannot perceive and the | ego cannot know. They are therefore not in communication and can |
| Tx:4.8 | communication and can never be in communication. Nevertheless, the | ego can learn because its maker can be misguided but cannot make the |
| Tx:4.8 | lifeless out of the life-given. The Soul need not be taught, but the | ego must. |
| Tx:4.9 | learning does lead to the relinquishment (not destruction) of the | ego to the light of the Soul. This is the change the ego must fear |
| Tx:4.9 | of the ego to the light of the Soul. This is the change the | ego must fear because it does not share my charity. My lesson was |
| Tx:4.10 | not really healing the level-split. You have dreamed of a separated | ego, and you have believed in a world which rests upon it. This is |
| Tx:4.11 | pupil or patient if they succeed. It is impossible to convince the | ego of this because it goes against all of its own laws. But remember |
| Tx:4.12 | It is natural enough for the | ego to try to protect itself once you have made it, but it is not |
| Tx:4.12 | for you to want to obey its laws unless you believe in them. The | ego cannot make this choice because of the nature of its origin. You |
| Tx:4.12 | cannot clash at all. If you perceive a teacher as merely a “larger | ego,” you will be afraid because to enlarge an ego is to increase |
| Tx:4.12 | as merely a “larger ego,” you will be afraid because to enlarge an | ego is to increase separation anxiety. I will teach with you and live |
| Tx:4.13 | ego-oriented teacher's goal. He is concerned with the effect of his | ego on other egos and therefore interprets their interaction as a |
| Tx:4.13 | other egos and therefore interprets their interaction as a means of | ego preservation. I would not be able to devote myself to teaching if |
| Tx:4.14 | your worth. This point is not debatable except in delusions. Your | ego is never at stake because God did not create it. Your Soul is |
| Tx:4.15 | The | ego tries to exploit all situations into forms of praise for itself |
| Tx:4.15 | are part of reality, which stands unchanged beyond the reach of your | ego but within easy reach of your Soul. When you are afraid, be still |
| Tx:4.15 | you 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 |
| Tx:4.15 | He is well pleased. Do not let your ego dispute this because the | ego cannot know what is as far beyond its reach as you are. |
| Tx:4.17 | The word “inevitable” is fearful to the | ego but joyous to the Soul. God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid |
| Tx:4.17 | and you cannot avoid Him any more than He can avoid you. The | ego is afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced |
| Tx:4.17 | you have experienced it, you will withdraw all protection from the | ego and become totally without the investment in fear. Your |
| Tx:4.17 | is great now because fear is a witness to the separation, and your | ego rejoices when you witness to it. Leave it behind! Do not listen |
| Tx:4.18 | to others, and do not accept such a picture of them yourselves. The | ego has built a shabby and unsheltering home for you because it |
| Tx:4.18 | certain. God is as incapable of creating the perishable as the | ego is of making the eternal. |
| Tx:4.19 | everything for the salvation of both. Humility is a lesson for the | ego, not for the Soul. The Soul is beyond humility because it |
| Tx:4.20 | I will substitute for your | ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A father can safely leave a |
| Tx:4.20 | the child's origin. The brother can protect the child's body and his | ego, which are very closely related, but he does not confuse himself |
| Tx:4.20 | although the child may. I can be entrusted with your body and your | ego simply because this enables you not to be concerned with them and |
| Tx:4.25 | Each man makes one | ego for himself, although it is subject to enormous variation because |
| Tx:4.25 | mind as when it involves physical presence. Thinking about another | ego is as effective in changing relative perception as is physical |
| Tx:4.25 | interaction. There could be no better example of the fact that the | ego is an idea, though not a reality-based thought. |
| Tx:4.26 | Your own present state is a good example of how the mind made the | ego. You do have knowledge at times, but when you throw it away, it |
| Tx:4.27 | he regards as a very real part of himself. Man reacts to his | ego much as God does to His Souls: with love, protection, and great |
| Tx:4.27 | as timeless as he is. The question is not how man responds to his | ego, but what he believes he is. |
| Tx:4.28 | Belief is an | ego function, and as long as your origin is open to belief at all, |
| Tx:4.28 | your origin is open to belief at all, you are regarding it from an | ego viewpoint. [That is why the Bible quotes me as saying “Ye believe |
| Tx:4.28 | in me.” Belief does apply to me, because I am the teacher of the | ego.] When teaching is no longer necessary, you will merely know God. |
| Tx:4.28 | God. Belief that there is another way is the loftiest idea of which | ego thinking is capable. That is because it contains a hint of |
| Tx:4.28 | capable. That is because it contains a hint of recognition that the | ego is not the self. Undermining the ego's thought system must be |
| Tx:4.30 | is quite obvious when you consider the concepts involved. To the | ego, to give anything implies that you will do without it. When you |
| Tx:4.30 | the thing you give. “Giving to get” is an inescapable law of the | ego, which always evaluates itself in relation to other egos and is |
| Tx:4.30 | meaning of Freud's “reality principle” since Freud thought of the | ego as very weak and deprived, capable of functioning only as a thing |
| Tx:4.31 | The “reality principle” of the | ego is not real at all. The ego is forced to perceive the “reality” |
| Tx:4.31 | The “reality principle” of the ego is not real at all. The | ego is forced to perceive the “reality” of other egos because it |
| Tx:4.31 | only an attempt to convince itself that it is real. “Self esteem” in | ego terms means nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself |
| Tx:4.31 | is real. “Self esteem” in ego terms means nothing more than that the | ego has deluded itself into accepting its reality and is therefore |
| Tx:4.31 | delusion of the ego's reality is threatened. This produces either | ego deflation or ego inflation, resulting in either withdrawal or |
| Tx:4.31 | ego's reality is threatened. This produces either ego deflation or | ego inflation, resulting in either withdrawal or attack. |
| Tx:4.32 | The | ego literally lives by comparisons. This means that equality is |
| Tx:4.32 | equality is beyond its grasp and charity becomes impossible. The | ego never gives out of abundance, because it was made as a substitute |
| Tx:4.32 | is as true of bodily appetites as it is of the so-called “higher” | ego needs. Bodily appetites are not physical in origin. The ego |
| Tx:4.32 | “higher” ego needs. Bodily appetites are not physical in origin. The | ego regards the body as its home and does try to satisfy itself |
| Tx:4.32 | the body, but the idea that this is possible is a decision of the | ego, which is completely confused about what is really possible. This |
| Tx:4.33 | The | ego believes it is completely on its own, which is merely another way |
| Tx:4.33 | of the premise itself, because this premise is its foundation. The | ego is the belief of the mind that it is completely on its own. Its |
| Tx:4.34 | The Soul in its knowledge is unaware of the | ego. It does not attack it; it merely cannot conceive of it at all. |
| Tx:4.34 | not attack it; it merely cannot conceive of it at all. While the | ego is equally unaware of the Soul, it does perceive itself as |
| Tx:4.34 | “something” which is greater than itself. This is why self-esteem in | ego terms must be a delusion. The creations of God do not create |
| Tx:4.35 | are closely associated in that myths are usually related to the | ego origins and magic to the powers which the ego ascribes to itself. |
| Tx:4.35 | usually related to the ego origins and magic to the powers which the | ego ascribes to itself. Every mythological system includes some |
| Tx:4.35 | associated with physical birth, because no one maintains that the | ego existed before that point in time. The religiously ego-oriented |
| Tx:4.35 | and will continue to exist afterwards, after a temporary lapse in | ego life. Some actually believe that the Soul will be punished for |
| Tx:4.36 | without attack, so that wrong-mindedness is obliterated. The | ego cannot survive without judgment and is laid aside accordingly. |
| Tx:4.37 | validity. “Reliable behavior” is a meaningful perception as far as | ego thinking goes. However, “valid behavior” is an expression which |
| Tx:4.38 | it unless its status as fact is questioned. Every idea to which the | ego has accorded the status of fact is questionable, because facts |
| Tx:4.39 | That is why psychologists are concentrating increasingly on the | ego in an attempt to unify their clearly unrelated data. It need |
| Tx:4.40 | way of trying to impose order on chaos. We have already credited the | ego with considerable ingenuity, though not with creativeness. It |
| Tx:4.41 | have not understood it is because it is not understandable to the | ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, and this |
| Tx:4.41 | a state of mind. The Christ Mind wills from the Soul, not from the | ego, and the Christ Mind is yours. |
| Tx:4.42 | which your Soul created. It has not ceased to create because your | ego has set you on the road of perception. Your Soul's creations are |
| Tx:4.42 | Your Soul's creations are no more fatherless than you are. Your | ego and your Soul will never be co-creators, but your Soul and your |
| Tx:4.43 | The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the | ego will not prevail against it. Amen. |
| Tx:4.45 | In its characteristically upside-down way, the | ego has taken the impulses from the superconscious and perceives them |
| Tx:4.45 | and perceives them as if they arise in the unconscious. The | ego judges what is to be accepted, and the impulses from the |
| Tx:4.45 | to it because they clearly point to the nonexistence of the | ego itself. The ego therefore experiences threat and not only censors |
| Tx:4.45 | they clearly point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The | ego therefore experiences threat and not only censors but also |
| Tx:4.46 | most lofty ones from awareness because both are threatening to the | ego and, being concerned primarily with its own preservation in the |
| Tx:4.46 | primarily with its own preservation in the face of threat, the | ego perceives them as the same. The threat-value of the lofty is |
| Tx:4.46 | same. The threat-value of the lofty is actually much greater to the | ego because the pull of God Himself can hardly be equated with the |
| Tx:4.46 | the pull of human appetites. By perceiving them as the same, the | ego attempts to save itself from being swept away, as it would surely |
| Tx:4.47 | is why the basic conflict between love and fear is unconscious; the | ego cannot tolerate either and represses both by resorting to |
| Tx:4.47 | false in your unconscious so it can break through the barriers the | ego has set up and shine into your minds. Against our united |
| Tx:4.47 | set up and shine into your minds. Against our united strength, the | ego cannot prevail. |
| Tx:4.48 | It should be apparent to you by now why the | ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The ego arose from the |
| Tx:4.48 | to you by now why the ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The | ego arose from the separation, and its continued existence depends on |
| Tx:4.48 | separation. Having reduced the Soul impulses to the unconscious, the | ego has to offer you some sort of reward for maintaining this belief. |
| Tx:4.48 | has experienced the revelation of this can ever fully believe in the | ego again. How can its meager offering to you prevail against the |
| Tx:4.49 | does not love you. Being made out of the denial of the Father, the | ego has no allegiance to its own maker. You cannot conceive of the |
| Tx:4.49 | you made it. No human love is without this ambivalence, and since no | ego has experienced love without ambivalence, the concept is beyond |
| Tx:4.50 | is a kind of experience which is so different from anything the | ego can offer that you will never recover. The word “recover” is used |
| Tx:4.50 | for you but for which you must ask. This is not a condition as the | ego sets conditions. It is the glorious condition of what you are. |
| Tx:4.54 | In your own unconscious, deeply repressed by the | ego, is the declaration of your release. God has given you |
| Tx:4.54 | God has given you everything. This is the one fact that means the | ego does not exist and which therefore makes it profoundly afraid. In |
| Tx:4.55 | is ruthlessly banished from the part of the mind which the | ego rules. The ego is desperate because it opposes literally |
| Tx:4.55 | banished from the part of the mind which the ego rules. The | ego is desperate because it opposes literally invincible odds, |
| Tx:4.55 | how much vigilance you have been willing to exert to protect your | ego and how little you have been willing to expend to protect your |
| Tx:4.56 | choose to listen. The fact that you do listen to the voice of your | ego is demonstrated by your attitudes, your feelings, and your |
| Tx:4.56 | egos, and you do not seek the Face of God. The glass in which the | ego seeks to see its face is dark indeed. How can it maintain the |
| Tx:4.57 | about some Soul that God created and are perceiving images your | ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought |
| Tx:4.58 | is one with God's. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your | ego together but has literally split your mind. As a loving brother, |
| Tx:4.60 | anxious, know that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the | ego and need not be. You can be as vigilant against the ego's |
| Tx:4.61 | When you feel guilty, know that the | ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but you have not. Leave the |
| Tx:4.61 | violated the laws of God, but you have not. Leave the sins of the | ego to me. That is what Atonement is for. But until you change your |
| Tx:4.61 | Atonement is for. But until you change your mind about those your | ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot release you. As long as you feel |
| Tx:4.61 | the Atonement cannot release you. As long as you feel guilty, your | ego is in command because only the ego can experience guilt. This |
| Tx:4.61 | As long as you feel guilty, your ego is in command because only the | ego can experience guilt. This need not be. |
| Tx:4.62 | Watch your mind for the temptations of the | ego and do not be deceived by it. Know it offers you nothing. When |
| Tx:4.62 | Yet you are not sufficiently vigilant against the demands of the | ego to disengage yourself. This need not be. |
| Tx:4.63 | The disheartened are useless to themselves and to me, but only the | ego can be disheartened. Have you really considered how many |
| Tx:4.64 | Your mind and mine can unite in shining your | ego away and releasing the strength of God into everything you think |
| Tx:4.64 | defense, can be used to attack or protect, to hurt or to heal. The | ego should be brought to your judgment and found wanting there. |
| Tx:4.64 | own allegiance, protection, and love, it cannot exist. Judge your | ego truly, and you must withdraw allegiance, protection, and love |
| Tx:4.65 | being. His Mind still shines on you and must shine through you. Your | ego cannot prevent Him from shining on you, but it can prevent you |
| Tx:4.67 | with your higher mind whether you are asleep or awake, just as your | ego does with your lower mind. I am your vigilance in this, because |
| Tx:4.69 | in the ego's judgment. Control is a central factor in what the | ego permits into consciousness and one to which it devotes its |
| Tx:4.69 | way a balanced mind holds together. Its control is unconscious. The | ego is further off balance by keeping its primary motivation |
| Tx:4.69 | raising control rather than sensible judgment to predominance. The | ego has every reason to do this according to the thought system which |
| Tx:4.69 | which it serves. Sane judgment would inevitably judge against the | ego and must be obliterated by the ego in the interest of its |
| Tx:4.69 | inevitably judge against the ego and must be obliterated by the | ego in the interest of its self-preservation. |
| Tx:4.70 | must be insane. Yet this demented state is essential to the | ego, which judges only in terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In |
| Tx:4.70 | the idea of God is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the | ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some |
| Tx:4.70 | makes some sense in ego-terms. But fear of the body, with which the | ego identifies so closely, is more blatantly senseless. |
| Tx:4.71 | by its own election. It is the only identification with which the | ego feels safe, because the body's vulnerability is its own best |
| Tx:4.71 | best argument that you cannot be of God. This is the belief that the | ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body because it does not |
| Tx:4.71 | be of God. This is the belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the | ego hates the body because it does not accept the idea that the body |
| Tx:4.71 | Here is where the mind becomes actually dazed. Being told by the | ego that it is really part of the body and that the body is its |
| Tx:4.72 | the mind asks, “Where can I go for protection?” to which the | ego replies, “Turn to me.” The mind, and not without cause, reminds |
| Tx:4.72 | replies, “Turn to me.” The mind, and not without cause, reminds the | ego that it has itself insisted that it is identified with the body, |
| Tx:4.72 | the body, so there is no point in turning to it for protection. The | ego has no real answer to this because there is none, but it does |
| Tx:4.74 | you want to learn are chosen because their value will not last. The | ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself to anything that |
| Tx:4.74 | must come from God. Eternalness is the one function which the | ego has tried to develop but has systematically failed. It may |
| Tx:4.74 | has systematically failed. It may surprise you to learn that had the | ego wished to do so it could have made the eternal because, as a |
| Tx:4.74 | decision to do this, rather than the ability to do it, is what the | ego cannot tolerate. That is because the decision, from which the |
| Tx:4.74 | involve accurate perception, a state of clarity which the | ego, fearful of being judged truly, must avoid. |
| Tx:4.75 | dilemma are peculiar, but no more so than the dilemma itself. The | ego has reacted characteristically here as elsewhere because mental |
| Tx:4.75 | here as elsewhere because mental illness, which is always a form of | ego involvement, is not a matter of reliability as much as of |
| Tx:4.75 | is not a matter of reliability as much as of validity. The | ego compromises with the issue of the eternal, just as it does with |
| Tx:4.76 | its value would decrease, and his own purpose would be defeated. The | ego has countenanced some strange compromises with the idea of the |
| Tx:4.77 | with problems set up to be incapable of solution are also favorite | ego devices for impeding the strong-willed from making real learning |
| Tx:4.77 | circle and carrying pi to infinity are good examples. A more recent | ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The idea of preserving the |
| Tx:4.77 | suspension, thus giving it the kind of limited immortality which the | ego can tolerate, is among its more recent appeals to the mind. It is |
| Tx:4.79 | Psychologists are in a good position to realize that the | ego is capable of making and accepting as real some very distorted |
| Tx:4.80 | Such relatively minor confusions of the | ego are not among its more profound misassociations, although they do |
| Tx:4.82 | mind can grasp. “A little knowledge” is not dangerous except to the | ego. Vaguely it senses threat, and being unable to realize that “a |
| Tx:4.82 | phrase since “all” and “a little” in this context are the same, the | ego decides that, since “all” is impossible, the fear does not lie |
| Tx:4.82 | lie there. “A little,” however, is a scarcity concept, and this the | ego understands well. “A little,” then, is perceived as the real |
| Tx:4.83 | The essential thing to remember is that the | ego does not recognize the real source of its perceived threat, and |
| Tx:4.83 | of its perceived threat, and if you associate yourself with the | ego, you do not perceive the whole situation as it is. Only your |
| Tx:4.83 | the whole situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the | ego any power over you. |
| Tx:4.84 | We have spoken of the | ego as if it were a separate thing acting on its own. This was |
| Tx:4.85 | The | ego is nothing more than a part of your belief about yourselves. Your |
| Tx:4.87 | The | ego cannot withstand the conditioning process because the process |
| Tx:4.87 | as eternal. Since this recognition is made by you and not the | ego, the recognition itself establishes that you and your ego cannot |
| Tx:4.87 | not the ego, the recognition itself establishes that you and your | ego cannot be identical. You may believe that you have already |
| Tx:4.87 | fact that you are preoccupied with the idea of escaping from the | ego shows this. |
| Tx:4.88 | You cannot escape from the | ego by humbling it or controlling it or punishing it. Remember that |
| Tx:4.88 | by humbling it or controlling it or punishing it. Remember that the | ego and the Soul do not know each other. The separated mind cannot |
| Tx:4.88 | repression against all truly natural impulses, not because the | ego is a separate thing, but because you want to believe that you |
| Tx:4.88 | a separate thing, but because you want to believe that you are. The | ego is a device for maintaining this belief, but it is still only |
| Tx:4.89 | have been chosen to live so as to demonstrate that you are not an | ego. I repeat that I do not choose God's channels wrongly. The Holy |
| Tx:4.93 | I am conditioning you to associate misery with the | ego and joy with the Soul. You have conditioned yourselves the other |
| Tx:4.93 | are still free to choose, but can you really want the rewards of the | ego in the presence of the rewards of God? |
| Tx:4.94 | is concrete. The concrete part is the same part that believes in the | ego because the ego depends on the specific. It is the part that |
| Tx:4.94 | concrete part is the same part that believes in the ego because the | ego depends on the specific. It is the part that believes your |
| Tx:4.95 | Everything the | ego perceives is a separate whole, without the relationships that |
| Tx:4.95 | is a separate whole, without the relationships that imply being. The | ego is thus against communication except in so far as it is utilized |
| Tx:4.95 | rather than to abolish it. The communication system of the | ego is based on its own thought system, as is everything else it |
| Tx:4.95 | all forms of perceived demands may be classified or judged by the | ego as coercive communication which must be disrupted, the response |
| Tx:4.100 | hardly means that you should tell Him how wonderful He is. He has no | ego with which to accept such thanks and no perception with which to |
| Tx:4.103 | emphasizes the body, while the vocational orientation stresses the | ego. The “team” approach generally leads more to confusion than to |
| Tx:4.104 | The | ego is likely to fear broken bodies because it cannot tolerate them. |
| Tx:4.104 | is likely to fear broken bodies because it cannot tolerate them. The | ego cannot tolerate ego weakness either without ambivalence because |
| Tx:4.104 | bodies because it cannot tolerate them. The ego cannot tolerate | ego weakness either without ambivalence because it is afraid of its |
| Tx:4.104 | well as the weakness of its chosen home. When it is threatened, the | ego blocks your natural impulse to help, placing you under the strain |
| Tx:4.104 | of divided will. You may then be tempted to withdraw to allow your | ego to recover and to gain enough strength to be helpful again on a |
| Tx:4.104 | to be helpful again on a basis limited enough not to threaten your | ego but too limited to give you joy. Those with broken bodies are |
| Tx:4.104 | you joy. Those with broken bodies are often looked down on by the | ego because of its belief that nothing but a perfect body is worthy |
| Tx:5.6 | is one of ideas, the whole belief in the false association which the | ego makes between giving and losing is gone. |
| Tx:5.19 | and the separation began at the same time. When man made the | ego, God placed in him the call to joy. This call is so strong that |
| Tx:5.19 | God placed 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 |
| Tx:5.35 | ego's viewpoint you are undertaking an ego-alien journey with the | ego as guide. This is bound to produce fear. |
| Tx:5.36 | Delay is of the | ego, because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time idea. |
| Tx:5.36 | We have said before that the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the | ego. Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct |
| Tx:5.36 | themselves opposed. The Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the | ego has made. He undoes it in the same realm of discourse in which |
| Tx:5.36 | has made. He undoes it in the same realm of discourse in which the | ego itself operates, or the mind would be unable to understand the |
| Tx:5.37 | of the mind is not understandable to another. So it is with the | ego and the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an idea of God, |
| Tx:5.37 | God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief of the | ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego's domain, accepts it without |
| Tx:5.37 | The literal nature of this statement does not mean anything to the | ego, which interprets it at best to mean “don't worry about the |
| Tx:5.38 | The Holy Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the | ego and the knowledge of the Soul. His ability to deal with symbols |
| Tx:5.38 | speaks. He can thus perform the function of reinterpreting what the | ego makes, not by destruction but by understanding. Understanding is |
| Tx:5.39 | this that the Holy Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the | ego because it is so calm. Peace is the ego's greatest enemy because, |
| Tx:5.39 | interpretation of reality, war is the guarantee of its survival. The | ego becomes strong in strife. If you believe there is strife, you |
| Tx:5.39 | 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 |
| Tx:5.40 | to the call of danger, opposing it with His strength, just as the | ego welcomes it with all its might. The Holy Spirit counters this |
| Tx:5.41 | The | ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the |
| Tx:5.41 | attempts to conceal this part, it is still much stronger than the | ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:5.41 | this part, it is still much stronger than the ego, even though the | ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit recognizes it perfectly, |
| Tx:5.42 | peace. If peace is eternal, you are at home only in eternity. The | ego made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the |
| Tx:5.42 | it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the | ego made, sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. |
| Tx:5.47 | good was ever created and therefore cannot be protected. What the | ego makes, it keeps to itself, and so it is without strength. Its |
| Tx:5.48 | a little sharper now. Neurotic guilt feelings are a device of the | ego for “atoning” without sharing and for asking pardon without |
| Tx:5.48 | “atoning” without sharing and for asking pardon without change. The | ego never calls for real Atonement and cannot tolerate forgiveness, |
| Tx:5.50 | God and the Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the “self” the | ego sees. Every loving thought held in any part of the Sonship |
| Tx:5.50 | it is loving. Sharing is God's way of creating and also yours. Your | ego can keep you in exile from the Kingdom, but in the Kingdom itself |
| Tx:5.51 | to receive my messages as I give them without interference by the | ego, so we can clarify an earlier point. We said that you will one |
| Tx:5.53 | to strengthen them. The union of the Sonship is its protection. The | ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom because it is united, and the |
| Tx:5.53 | ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom because it is united, and the | ego fades away and is undone in the presence of the attraction of the |
| Tx:5.59 | personally meaningful if the ego's use of guilt is clarified. The | ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is |
| Tx:5.60 | guilt and must give rise to joy. This makes it invulnerable to the | ego because its peace is unassailable. It is invulnerable to |
| Tx:5.60 | fear is divisive because it obeys the law of division. If the | ego is the symbol of the separation, it is also the symbol of guilt. |
| Tx:5.60 | attack on God. This is a totally meaningless concept except to the | ego, but do not underestimate the power of the ego's belief in it. |
| Tx:5.61 | The | ego is the part of the mind which believes in division. How can part |
| Tx:5.61 | problem as involving the concept of usurping God's power. The | ego believes that this is what you did because it believes it is you. |
| Tx:5.61 | believes it is you. It follows, then, that if you identify with the | ego, you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to |
| Tx:5.61 | you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your | ego, you will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The ego |
| Tx:5.61 | ego, you will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The | ego is quite literally a fearful thought. |
| Tx:5.62 | idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the | ego is not sane. It represents a delusional system, and it speaks for |
| Tx:5.63 | only your acceptance of it that makes it real. If you enthrone the | ego in it, the fact that you have accepted it or allowed it to enter |
| Tx:5.64 | The | ego does not perceive sin as a lack of love. It perceives sin as a |
| Tx:5.64 | attempt to remedy the situation. And you will succeed. The | ego regards this as doom, but you must learn to regard it as freedom. |
| Tx:5.65 | It might be better to say that it is a form of magical solution. The | ego believes that by punishing itself it will mitigate the punishment |
| Tx:5.66 | The | ego cannot oppose the laws of God any more than you can, but it can |
| Tx:5.67 | The Holy Spirit, like the | ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the alternatives |
| Tx:5.67 | all the alternatives which the mind can accept and obey. The | ego and the Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created |
| Tx:5.72 | peace. My role is only to unchain your will and make it free. Your | ego cannot accept this freedom and will oppose your free decision at |
| Tx:5.73 | of the same thing simultaneously, or almost simultaneously, for the | ego always speaks first. Alternate interpretations were unnecessary |
| Tx:5.73 | first one was made, and speaking itself was unnecessary before the | ego was made. |
| Tx:5.74 | The | ego speaks in judgment and the Holy Spirit reverses its decisions, |
| Tx:5.74 | on a complete fallacy which they were made to uphold. Nothing the | ego perceives is interpreted correctly. Not only does it cite |
| Tx:5.74 | as a witness for itself. The Bible is a fearful thing to the | ego because of its prejudiced judgment. Perceiving it as fearful, it |
| Tx:5.75 | to see how the ego's interpretations have misled you. A favorite | ego quotation is “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Another is “Vengeance |
| Tx:5.77 | fathers unto the third and fourth generation,” as interpreted by the | ego, is particularly vicious. It is used, in fact, as an attempt to |
| Tx:5.77 | thought must be undone. Even the word “undone” is fearful to the | ego, which interprets “I am undone” as “I am destroyed.” |
| Tx:5.78 | The | ego will not be destroyed because it is part of your thought, but |
| Tx:5.78 | you from fear. The part of your thought which you have given to the | ego will merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. |
| Tx:5.78 | merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. The | ego is a form of arrest, but arrest is merely delay. It does not |
| Tx:5.78 | delay. It does not involve the concept of punishment, although the | ego welcomes that interpretation. You can delay the completion of the |
| Tx:6.13 | to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault as judged by the | ego did not matter. As the world judges these things, but not as God |
| Tx:6.23 | systems. As such, it [is] the perfect symbol of conflict between the | ego and the Son of God. [It was as much intrapersonal as |
| Tx:6.27 | is to keep the separation going. It is solely a device of the | ego to make you feel different from your brothers and separated from |
| Tx:6.27 | you feel different from your brothers and separated from them. The | ego justifies this on the wholly spurious grounds that it makes you |
| Tx:6.28 | The | ego uses projection only to distort your perception both of yourself |
| Tx:6.28 | that there is another use of projection. Every ability of the | ego has a better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by |
| Tx:6.28 | by the mind which has a better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the | ego utilizes projection, but since their goals are opposed, so is the |
| Tx:6.31 | parallels knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and know it. The | ego would prefer to believe that this meeting is impossible, yet it |
| Tx:6.34 | then, is the recognition that the separation never occurred. The | ego cannot prevail against this because it is an explicit statement |
| Tx:6.34 | prevail against this because it is an explicit statement that the | ego never occurred. |
| Tx:6.35 | The | ego can accept the idea that return is necessary because it can so |
| Tx:6.37 | and projection as the Holy Spirit uses it is very simple. The | ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:6.38 | only by perceiving Him impartially can you perceive Him at all. The | ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is One. No darkness abides |
| Tx:6.39 | natural talent. The word “knows” is correct here, even though the | ego does not know and is not concerned with being at all. |
| Tx:6.40 | is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The | ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you |
| Tx:6.40 | The ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the | ego you can hear and teach and learn what is not true. From this, |
| Tx:6.43 | your salvation lies in teaching the exact opposite of everything the | ego believes. This is how you will learn the truth that will set you |
| Tx:6.45 | Remember that the Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The | ego always speaks first because it is capricious and does not mean |
| Tx:6.45 | He has brought you home and you no longer need His guidance. The | ego does not regard itself as part of you. Herein lies its primary |
| Tx:6.46 | That is why attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You made the | ego without love, and so it does not love you. You could not remain |
| Tx:6.46 | is love, you believe that you are without it. This enables the | ego to regard itself as separate and outside its maker, thus speaking |
| Tx:6.46 | mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind of God. The | ego, then, raised the first question that was ever asked, but one |
| Tx:6.47 | The | ego has never answered any questions since, although it has raised a |
| Tx:6.47 | it has raised a great many. The most inventive activities of the | ego have never done more than obscure the question, because you have |
| Tx:6.47 | more than obscure the question, because you have the answer and the | ego is afraid of you. You cannot understand the conflict until you |
| Tx:6.47 | the conflict until you fully understand one basic fact that the | ego does not know. The Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He |
| Tx:6.48 | The | ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the |
| Tx:6.48 | it. Unless you do believe it you will not side with it, and the | ego feels badly in need of allies though not of brothers. Perceiving |
| Tx:6.48 | of brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the | ego turns to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is |
| Tx:6.49 | The | ego and the body conspire against your minds, and because the ego |
| Tx:6.49 | The ego and the body conspire against your minds, and because the | ego realizes that its “enemy” can end them both merely by knowing |
| Tx:6.49 | perception of all if you consider what it really involves. The | ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the mind, which is real, |
| Tx:6.50 | the one answer of the Holy Spirit to all the questions which the | ego raises. You are a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, |
| Tx:6.54 | are therefore helpless. This is the kind of “reasoning” which the | ego engages in, but God, Who knows that His creations are perfect, |
| Tx:6.61 | When your body and your | ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last |
| Tx:6.61 | by not willing at all. Like any other impossible solution which the | ego attempts, it will not work. |
| Tx:6.62 | learning device for you. Again as always, He re-interprets what the | ego uses as an argument for separation into a demonstration against |
| Tx:6.65 | into knowledge. [You do not lose what you communicate.] The | ego uses the body for attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The |
| Tx:6.73 | first lesson is the hardest to learn. Still strongly aware of the | ego in himself and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is |
| Tx:6.73 | strongly aware of the ego in himself and responding primarily to the | ego in others, he is being taught to react to both as if what he does |
| Tx:6.74 | Upside-down as always, the | ego perceives the first lesson as insane. In fact this is its only |
| Tx:6.76 | and insanity. Only one is true, and therefore only one is real. The | ego tries to persuade you that it is up to you to decide which voice |
| Tx:6.83 | must remember, however, is that what the Holy Spirit rejects, the | ego accepts. This is because they are in fundamental disagreement |
| Tx:6.87 | against it. We said already that you can be as vigilant against the | ego as for it. This lesson teaches not only that you can be, but that |
| Tx:6.91 | to you. This is why you must be vigilant on God's behalf. The | ego speaks against His creation and therefore does engender doubt. |
| Tx:7.4 | The | ego demands reciprocal rights because it is competitive rather than |
| Tx:7.13 | The term “intrapersonal” is an | ego term, because “personal” implies “of one person” and not of |
| Tx:7.21 | the term “abilities” in the plural, because abilities began with the | ego, which perceived them as potentials for excelling. This is how |
| Tx:7.21 | which perceived them as potentials for excelling. This is how the | ego still perceives them and uses them. |
| Tx:7.22 | The | ego does not want to teach everyone all it has learned, because that |
| Tx:7.22 | not really learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the | ego has made to teach the opposite of what the ego has learned. The |
| Tx:7.22 | you to use what the ego has made to teach the opposite of what the | ego has learned. The kind of learning is as irrelevant as is the |
| Tx:7.24 | of your work with ease when you have learned this course. To the | ego there appears to be no connection, because the ego is |
| Tx:7.24 | course. To the ego there appears to be no connection, because the | ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy Spirit teaches one lesson and |
| Tx:7.26 | meaning only by experiencing yourself as unreal. This is why the | ego is insane; it teaches that you are not what you are. This is so |
| Tx:7.26 | must therefore be teaching something else as well, even though the | ego does not know what it is. |
| Tx:7.27 | The | ego, then, is always being undone and does suspect your motives. Your |
| Tx:7.27 | your motives. Your mind cannot be unified in allegiance to the | ego, because the mind does not belong to it. Yet what is |
| Tx:7.27 | the mind does not belong to it. Yet what is “treacherous” to the | ego is faithful to peace. The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. |
| Tx:7.27 | We said before that the ego's friend is not part of you, since the | ego perceives itself as at war and therefore in need of allies. You |
| Tx:7.32 | is to believe you can do it. This can only be the voice of the | ego. |
| Tx:7.34 | you are remembering the laws of God and forgetting the laws of the | ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way of remembering |
| Tx:7.35 | ability which opposes an opposite. That is the way in which the | ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is always to make you |
| Tx:7.36 | their goals can never be reconciled in any way or to any extent. The | ego always seeks to divide and separate. The Holy Spirit always seeks |
| Tx:7.37 | pull or the Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The | ego believes that it has this ability and can offer it to you as a |
| Tx:7.38 | 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 your |
| Tx:7.40 | Only minds communicate. Since the | ego cannot obliterate the impulse to communicate because it is also |
| Tx:7.40 | impulse to communicate because it is also the impulse to create, the | ego can only teach you that the body can both communicate and create |
| Tx:7.40 | communicate and create and therefore does not need the mind. The | ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act like the mind and |
| Tx:7.41 | communicate, but they cannot hurt. The body in the service of the | ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot occur unless the body has |
| Tx:7.48 | you think that you have changed it as long as you learn through the | ego. This does place you in a position of needing to learn a lesson |
| Tx:7.49 | your mind about his for him, you help him undo the change his | ego thinks it has made in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can |
| Tx:7.50 | created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in love. The | ego is totally unable to understand this, because it does not |
| Tx:7.54 | equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on whether the | ego or the Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return |
| Tx:7.56 | The ingeniousness of the | ego to preserve itself is enormous, but it stems from the power of |
| Tx:7.56 | is enormous, but it stems from the power of the mind, which the | ego denies. This means that the ego attacks what is preserving it, |
| Tx:7.56 | the power of the mind, which the ego denies. This means that the | ego attacks what is preserving it, and this must be a source of |
| Tx:7.56 | it, and this must be a source of extreme anxiety. That is why the | ego never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly |
| Tx:7.56 | what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly insane. The | ego draws upon the one source which is totally inimical to its |
| Tx:7.57 | Remaining logical but still insane, the | ego resolves this completely insane dilemma in a completely insane |
| Tx:7.57 | with it by guaranteeing that you will not know your own safety. The | ego cannot afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the ego |
| Tx:7.57 | The ego cannot afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the | ego does not believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, |
| Tx:7.57 | not believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, while the | ego does not love you, it is faithful to its own antecedents, |
| Tx:7.58 | Mind always reproduces as it was produced. Produced by fear, the | ego reproduces fear. This is its allegiance, and this allegiance |
| Tx:7.58 | to love, because you are love. Love is your power, which the | ego must deny. It must also deny everything which this power gives |
| Tx:7.58 | because it gives you everything. No one who has everything wants the | ego. Its own maker, then, does not want it. Rejection is therefore |
| Tx:7.58 | does not want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision which the | ego could possibly encounter, if the mind which made it knew itself. |
| Tx:7.59 | The | ego therefore opposes all appreciation, all recognition, all sane |
| Tx:7.62 | as if you are attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the | ego does believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you |
| Tx:7.62 | persuade you that you have done this. If the mind cannot attack, the | ego proceeds perfectly logically to the position that you cannot be |
| Tx:7.62 | are, it can see itself as it wants to be. Aware of its weakness, the | ego wants your allegiance, but not as you really are. The ego |
| Tx:7.62 | the ego wants your allegiance, but not as you really are. The | ego therefore wants to engage your mind in its own delusional system, |
| Tx:7.63 | The | ego wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not |
| Tx:7.63 | The ego wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the | ego is not true. If truth is total, the untrue cannot exist. |
| Tx:7.64 | that you believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The | ego believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not |
| Tx:7.64 | this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not true. The | ego therefore is totally committed to untruth, perceiving in total |
| Tx:7.66 | and attack them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of the | ego is—nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to |
| Tx:7.79 | is responsible for itself and being without allegiance to God, the | ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane belief that you have |
| Tx:7.81 | giving this only, you will be only this. The gifts you offer to the | ego are always experienced as sacrifices, but the gifts you offer to |
| Tx:7.82 | which unifies the Kingdom and keeps it in the Mind of God. To the | ego, the law is perceived as a way of getting rid of something it |
| Tx:7.83 | Projection, to the Holy Spirit, is the law of extension. To the | ego, it is the law of deprivation. It therefore produces abundance or |
| Tx:7.84 | The | ego always tries to preserve conflict. It is very ingenious in |
| Tx:7.84 | so intolerable that you will insist on giving it up. Therefore, the | ego tries to persuade you that it can free you of conflict, lest you |
| Tx:7.84 | to persuade you that it can free you of conflict, lest you give the | ego up and free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of |
| Tx:7.84 | you of conflict, lest you give the ego up and free yourself. The | ego, using its own warped version of the laws of God, utilizes the |
| Tx:7.86 | That is why those who project from the | ego are vigilant for their own safety. They are afraid that their |
| Tx:7.87 | attack or be attacked. The belief that it can, a fallacy which the | ego always makes, underlies its whole use of projection. It does not |
| Tx:7.87 | you are. Yet its existence is dependent on your mind, because the | ego is your belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in |
| Tx:7.87 | is dependent on your mind, because the ego is your belief. The | ego is therefore a confusion in identification which never had a |
| Tx:7.88 | Do not be afraid of the | ego. It does depend on your mind and, as you made it by believing in |
| Tx:7.89 | because truth is beyond belief, and His perception is true. The | ego can be completely forgotten at any time, because it was always a |
| Tx:7.89 | he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn about the | ego, the more you realize that it cannot be believed. The incredible |
| Tx:7.90 | The whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the | ego is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who made |
| Tx:7.90 | is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who made the | ego by believing the unbelievable cannot make this judgment alone. By |
| Tx:7.91 | Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the | ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul, because that is how God |
| Tx:7.91 | it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the | ego and the Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the Soul. |
| Tx:7.91 | the Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the Soul. To the | ego, this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the |
| Tx:7.92 | rendering its creations equally whole and equal in perfection. The | ego cannot prevail against a totality which includes God, and any |
| Tx:7.101 | reason is equally obvious. What is joyful to you is painful to the | ego and, as long as you are in doubt about what you are, you will be |
| Tx:7.101 | of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the | ego. But you will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you will |
| Tx:7.102 | it is His. The ego's wishes do not mean anything, because the | ego wishes for the impossible. You can wish for the impossible, but |
| Tx:7.103 | to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the | ego always does. When you are confused about this very clear |
| Tx:7.105 | relinquishment of your false decision-making prerogative, which the | ego guards so jealously, is not accomplished by your wish. It was |
| Tx:7.107 | perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is because the | ego perceives nothing as wholly desirable. By demonstrating to |
| Tx:8.2 | you would hardly be willing to throw it away so readily when the | ego asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to |
| Tx:8.2 | when the ego asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the | ego seems to interfere with your learning, but the ego has no power |
| Tx:8.2 | of the ego seems to interfere with your learning, but the | ego has no power to distract you unless you give it the power. |
| Tx:8.3 | they will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the | ego is a call to war, and war does deprive you of peace. Yet in this |
| Tx:8.8 | that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must learn it of Him. The | ego does not know what it is trying to teach. It is trying to teach |
| Tx:8.8 | It is trying to teach you what you are without knowing it. The | ego is expert only in confusion. It does not understand anything |
| Tx:8.8 | which is quite impossible, you could learn nothing from the | ego because the ego knows nothing. |
| Tx:8.8 | quite impossible, you could learn nothing from the ego because the | ego knows nothing. |
| Tx:8.9 | the teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The | ego has never given you a sensible answer to anything. Simply on the |
| Tx:8.9 | should not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher? Yet the | ego has done more harm to your learning than this alone. Learning is |
| Tx:8.10 | The | ego cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because |
| Tx:8.10 | will to be imprisoned, because your will is free. That is why the | ego is the denial of free will. It is never God who coerces you |
| Tx:8.10 | accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of everything the | ego tries to teach. It is not, then, only the direction of the |
| Tx:8.11 | The | ego wants to teach you that you want to oppose God's Will. This |
| Tx:8.20 | them. Your power and glory are in him, because they are yours. The | ego tries to find them in yourself, because it does not know where to |
| Tx:8.22 | To achieve the goal of the curriculum, then, you cannot listen to the | ego. Its purpose is to defeat its own goal. The ego does not know |
| Tx:8.22 | cannot listen to the ego. Its purpose is to defeat its own goal. The | ego does not know this, because it does not know anything. But you |
| Tx:8.22 | this, and you will know it if you are willing to look at what the | ego has made of you. This is your responsibility, because once you |
| Tx:8.23 | and glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from them. The | ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:8.39 | When you unite with me, you are uniting without the | ego, because I have renounced the ego in myself and therefore cannot |
| Tx:8.39 | me, you are uniting without the ego, because I have renounced the | ego in myself and therefore cannot unite with yours. Our union is |
| Tx:8.39 | unite with yours. Our union is therefore the way to renounce the | ego in yourself. The truth in both of us is beyond the ego. By |
| Tx:8.39 | renounce the ego in yourself. The truth in both of us is beyond the | ego. By willing that, you have gone beyond it toward truth. Our |
| Tx:8.39 | have gone beyond it toward truth. Our success in transcending the | ego is guaranteed by God, and I can share [my perfect confidence in |
| Tx:8.40 | intrudes anywhere along the road to peace, it is always because the | ego has attempted to join the journey with us and cannot do so. |
| Tx:8.40 | with us and cannot do so. Sensing defeat and angered by it, the | ego regards itself as rejected and becomes retaliative. You are |
| Tx:8.40 | On this journey, you have chosen me as your companion instead of the | ego. Do not try to hold on to both, or you will try to go in |
| Tx:8.41 | the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the | ego the power to interfere with the journey because it has none, |
| Tx:8.41 | Leave all deception behind and reach beyond all attempts of the | ego to hold you back. I go before you, because I am beyond the ego. |
| Tx:8.41 | the ego to hold you back. I go before you, because I am beyond the | ego. Reach therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the |
| Tx:8.41 | ego. Reach therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the | ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you |
| Tx:8.54 | interprets everything you have made in the light of what He is. The | ego separates through the body. The Holy Spirit reaches through it to |
| Tx:8.61 | each other, so that it appears to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the | ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a |
| Tx:8.61 | of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the | ego. In this sense, the body does become a temple to God, because His |
| Tx:8.69 | it ascribes to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To the | ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it |
| Tx:8.71 | other, making the concept of both health and sickness possible. The | ego makes a fundamental confusion between means and ends, as it |
| Tx:8.71 | means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the body as an end, the | ego has no real use for it because it is not an end. You must have |
| Tx:8.71 | have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end that the | ego has accepted as its own. When you have achieved it, it has not |
| Tx:8.71 | When you have achieved it, it has not satisfied you. This is why the | ego is forced to shift from one end to another without ceasing, so |
| Tx:8.72 | because this is synonymous with the belief in attack as an end. The | ego has a real investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you |
| Tx:8.74 | A more honest statement would be as follows: Those who want the | ego are predisposed to defend it. Therefore, their choice of |
| Tx:8.74 | their choice of witnesses should be suspect from the beginning. The | ego does not call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, |
| Tx:8.74 | Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The | ego as a judge gives anything but an impartial judgment. When the ego |
| Tx:8.74 | ego as a judge gives anything but an impartial judgment. When the | ego calls on a witness, it has already made the witness an ally. |
| Tx:8.75 | the body has no function of itself, because it is not an end. The | ego, however, establishes it as an end because as such it will lose |
| Tx:8.75 | will lose its true function. This is the purpose of everything the | ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight of the function of |
| Tx:8.76 | and your extreme need to depend on external guidance. The | ego uses this as its best argument for your need for its guidance. It |
| Tx:8.77 | asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the answer. The | ego is incapable of knowing how you feel. When we said that the ego |
| Tx:8.77 | The ego is incapable of knowing how you feel. When we said that the | ego does not know anything, we said the one thing about the ego that |
| Tx:8.77 | that the ego does not know anything, we said the one thing about the | ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is |
| Tx:8.77 | wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is being and the | ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being. |
| Tx:8.77 | if knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the | ego has no being. |
| Tx:8.78 | you will not to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the | ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as |
| Tx:8.80 | everything, because He knows what the answer to everything is. The | ego does not know what a real question is, although it asks an |
| Tx:8.80 | Yet you can learn this as you learn to question the value of the | ego and thus establish your ability to evaluate its questions. When |
| Tx:8.80 | and thus establish your ability to evaluate its questions. When the | ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the |
| Tx:8.85 | The | ego, which always weakens the will, wants to separate the body from |
| Tx:8.85 | the body from the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the | ego actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the |
| Tx:8.85 | ego actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the | ego believes that mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to |
| Tx:8.85 | since it would mean to make nothing out of what God created. The | ego despises weakness, even though it makes every effort to induce |
| Tx:8.85 | weakness, even though it makes every effort to induce it. The | ego wants only what it hates. To the ego this is perfectly sensible. |
| Tx:8.85 | every effort to induce it. The ego wants only what it hates. To the | ego this is perfectly sensible. Believing in the power of attack, the |
| Tx:8.85 | this is perfectly sensible. Believing in the power of attack, the | ego wants attack. |
| Tx:8.90 | afraid, but yours. Your will is not the ego's, and that is why the | ego is against you. What seems to be the fear of God is really only |
| Tx:8.100 | and so you are asking for nothing. Any desire which stems from the | ego is a desire for nothing and to ask for it is not a request. It is |
| Tx:8.100 | is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of meaning. The | ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for anything because there is complete |
| Tx:9.1 | The alertness of the | ego to the errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance |
| Tx:9.1 | to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the | ego, it is kind and right and good to point out errors and “correct” |
| Tx:9.1 | point out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect sense to the | ego, which is totally unaware of what errors are and what correction |
| Tx:9.2 | Errors are of the | ego, and correction of errors of any kind lies solely in the |
| Tx:9.2 | of errors of any kind lies solely in the relinquishment of the | ego. When you correct a brother, you are telling him that he is |
| Tx:9.2 | sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the | ego, he will be making no sense. But your task is still to tell him |
| Tx:9.2 | at another level. He is still right, because he is a Son of God. His | ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does. |
| Tx:9.3 | If you point out the errors of your brother's | ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does |
| Tx:9.3 | This must be true if there is no communication at all between the | ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:9.3 | is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The | ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to |
| Tx:9.4 | not hearing Him. If you do not hear Him, you are listening to your | ego and making as little sense as the brother whose errors you |
| Tx:9.7 | by you is possible, and this can only be the arrogance of the | ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy |
| Tx:9.11 | Him, you cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the | ego, or you will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness lies in |
| Tx:9.12 | The | ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are asking for one, |
| Tx:9.12 | will merely place yourself in an impossible situation to which the | ego always leads you. The ego's plan is to have you see error clearly |
| Tx:9.13 | This is where the | ego is forced to appeal to “mysteries” and begins to insist that you |
| Tx:9.14 | all its effects everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that the | ego does not exist and proves it. Follow His teaching in forgiveness |
| Tx:9.15 | your function is. The confusion of functions is so typical of the | ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The ego |
| Tx:9.15 | of the ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The | ego believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no |
| Tx:9.15 | of grandiosity and confusion which makes it likely that the | ego will attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is |
| Tx:9.15 | anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly what the | ego does. It is totally unpredictable in its responses, because it |
| Tx:9.16 | of how you can account for the reactions, whether they place the | ego in a very sound position as the guide for yours. It seems absurd |
| Tx:9.17 | know it, and you have judged it by the same standard as I have. The | ego literally lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do |
| Tx:9.18 | fantasies, you will not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the | ego, and of these you will find many. But do not look for meaning in |
| Tx:9.20 | because it is undertaken by unhealed healers and is therefore of the | ego. Let us consider the unhealed healer more carefully now. By |
| Tx:9.21 | We have repeatedly stated that beliefs of the | ego cannot be shared, and this is why they are unreal. How, then, can |
| Tx:9.22 | His retribution. What they have done is merely to identify with the | ego and, by perceiving clearly what it does, condemn themselves |
| Tx:9.24 | fear is to reduce the importance of the fearer, how can this build | ego strength? These perfectly self-evident inconsistencies account |
| Tx:9.25 | Because his | ego is involved, it always attempts to gain some support from the |
| Tx:9.26 | an impasse, the characteristic “impossible situation” to which the | ego always leads. It can be helpful to point out to a patient where |
| Tx:9.39 | and so obvious that it is often overlooked. That is because the | ego is afraid of the obvious since obviousness is the essential |
| Tx:9.40 | truly. And this evaluation must be in your mind because He is. The | ego is also in your mind, because you have accepted it there. Its |
| Tx:9.40 | however, is the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's, because the | ego does not love you. It is unaware of what you are and wholly |
| Tx:9.40 | it perceives, because its own perceptions are so shifting. The | ego is therefore capable of suspiciousness at best and viciousness at |
| Tx:9.41 | by anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The | ego is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the |
| Tx:9.41 | the Holy Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The | ego is, therefore, particularly likely to attack you when you react |
| Tx:9.42 | The | ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly |
| Tx:9.42 | must therefore regard yourself as inadequate. Would you look to the | ego to help you escape from a sense of inadequacy it has produced and |
| Tx:9.44 | We said before that the | ego does not know what a real question is. Lack of knowledge of any |
| Tx:9.47 | Remember this when the | ego speaks, and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty |
| Tx:9.48 | you. Whenever you become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the | ego automatically, because in the presence of the grandeur of God the |
| Tx:9.48 | in the presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the | ego becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, |
| Tx:9.48 | becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the | ego believes that its “enemy” has struck and attempts to offer gifts |
| Tx:9.48 | [is the only offering it can make. The grandiosity] of the | ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which will you choose? |
| Tx:9.49 | delusional attempt to outdo but not to undo. We said before that the | ego vacillates between suspiciousness and viciousness. It remains |
| Tx:9.50 | The | ego does not know the difference between grandeur and grandiosity, |
| Tx:9.50 | impulses and ego-alien beliefs of its own. We once said that the | ego is aware of threat, but does not make distinctions between two |
| Tx:9.51 | The | ego is immobilized in the presence of God's grandeur, because His |
| Tx:9.51 | freedom. Even the faintest hint of your reality literally drives the | ego from your mind because of complete lack of investment in it. |
| Tx:9.51 | of reality will not remain with you unless you do not allow the | ego to attack it. The ego will make every effort to recover and |
| Tx:9.51 | remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The | ego will make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies |
| Tx:9.53 | The | ego depends solely on your willingness to tolerate it. If you are |
| Tx:9.53 | your grandeur, you cannot despair, and therefore you cannot want the | ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the ego because it is true. |
| Tx:9.53 | you cannot want the ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the | ego because it is true. Littleness and grandeur cannot co-exist, nor |
| Tx:9.78 | image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is exactly what the | ego does perceive in a Son of God; a sick god, self-created, |
| Tx:10.1 | Either God or the | ego is insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, |
| Tx:10.1 | fairly, you will realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the | ego proposes a partial thought system. Each is internally consistent, |
| Tx:10.2 | who really believed this question involves conflict? If you made the | ego, how can the ego have made you? The authority problem remains the |
| Tx:10.2 | this question involves conflict? If you made the ego, how can the | ego have made you? The authority problem remains the only source of |
| Tx:10.2 | problem remains the only source of perceived conflict, because the | ego was made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, |
| Tx:10.2 | the ego was made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The | ego, then, is nothing more than a delusional system in which you made |
| Tx:10.2 | It sounds insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the | ego never looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is |
| Tx:10.2 | hidden in the dark cornerstone of its thought system. And either the | ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system will |
| Tx:10.13 | The projection of the | ego makes it appear as if God's Will is outside yourself and |
| Tx:10.20 | your mind so that He becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the | ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you have |
| Tx:10.22 | Would you be hostage to the | ego or host to God? You will accept only whom you invite. You are |
| Tx:10.22 | there, although He cannot help you without your invitation, and the | ego is nothing whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends |
| Tx:10.35 | Lay it to yourself and you cannot know yourself, for only the | ego blames at all. Self-blame is therefore ego identification and as |
| Tx:10.35 | yourself, for only the ego blames at all. Self-blame is therefore | ego identification and as strong an ego defense as blaming others. |
| Tx:10.35 | at all. Self-blame is therefore ego identification and as strong an | ego defense as blaming others. You cannot enter God's Presence if you |
| Tx:10.39 | for we are merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the | ego will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to |
| Tx:10.41 | and the whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the | ego has the power to do anything. The ego is fearful to you because |
| Tx:10.41 | lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The | ego is fearful to you because you believe this. Yet the truth is very |
| Tx:10.43 | When we look at the | ego, then, we are not considering dynamics but delusions. We can |
| Tx:10.43 | necessarily expended on nothing. The ego's goal is quite explicitly | ego autonomy. From the beginning, then, its purpose is to be |
| Tx:10.44 | the natural extension of what it is. Everything that stems from the | ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the way to undo |
| Tx:10.45 | believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The belief in | ego autonomy is costing you the knowledge of your dependence on God |
| Tx:10.45 | knowledge of your dependence on God in which your freedom lies. The | ego sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted even your |
| Tx:10.46 | The | ego always attacks on behalf of separation. Believing it has the |
| Tx:10.46 | does nothing else because its goal of autonomy is nothing else. The | ego is totally confused about reality, but it does not lose sight of |
| Tx:10.47 | What you must learn to recognize is that the last thing the | ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the |
| Tx:10.47 | ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the | ego gives rise to fear, it is diminishing your independence and |
| Tx:10.48 | The | ego can and does allow you to regard yourself as supercilious, |
| Tx:10.49 | fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite apart from how the | ego wants you to experience it, is therefore the basic ego threat. |
| Tx:10.49 | from how the ego wants you to experience it, is therefore the basic | ego threat. Its dream of autonomy is shaken to its foundation by this |
| Tx:10.49 | the cost of fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the cost, and the | ego cannot minimize it. For if you overlook love, you are overlooking |
| Tx:10.51 | with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. The | ego believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is |
| Tx:10.52 | Upheld by fear, this is what the | ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot |
| Tx:10.53 | The | ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness |
| Tx:10.53 | up is clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the | ego to everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power, |
| Tx:10.53 | approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the | ego believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, |
| Tx:10.53 | and obsessed with the conviction that separation is salvation, the | ego attacks everything it perceives by breaking it up into small and |
| Tx:10.53 | parts without meaningful relationships and thus without meaning. The | ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is |
| Tx:10.54 | and would have to be, the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's. The | ego focuses on error and overlooks truth. It makes real every mistake |
| Tx:10.54 | error clearly in mind and protecting what it has made real, the | ego proceeds to the next step in its thought system—that error is |
| Tx:10.55 | The | ego makes no attempt to understand this, and it is clearly not |
| Tx:10.55 | to understand this, and it is clearly not understandable, but the | ego does make every attempt to demonstrate it, and this it does |
| Tx:10.55 | it, and this it does constantly. Analyzing to attack meaning, the | ego does succeed in overlooking it and is left with a series of |
| Tx:10.56 | anything, and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the | ego teach truly when it overlooks truth? Can it perceive what it has |
| Tx:10.56 | do attest to its denial but hardly to what it has denied! The | ego looks straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has |
| Tx:10.57 | that a lie is true. What you see of His Son through the eyes of the | ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the Son |
| Tx:10.58 | Every brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the | ego, depending on what you perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of |
| Tx:10.59 | see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over the | ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above |
| Tx:10.59 | not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above the | ego and all its works and ascends to the Father and His Kingdom. |
| Tx:10.71 | The | ego sees some good but never only good. That is why its perceptions |
| Tx:11.9 | and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the | ego. Consider how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the |
| Tx:11.26 | with a brother, for whatever reason, you are believing that the | ego is to be saved and to be saved by attack. If he attacks, you are |
| Tx:11.27 | both. He is asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the | ego and never of God. No “outrageous” request can be made of one who |
| Tx:11.29 | To identify with the | ego is to attack yourself and make yourself poor. That is why |
| Tx:11.29 | and make yourself poor. That is why everyone who identifies with the | ego feels deprived. What he experiences then is depression or anger, |
| Tx:11.29 | fully aware of anxiety, he does not perceive its source as his own | ego identification, and he always tries to handle it by making some |
| Tx:11.30 | as the outside world is merely your attempt to maintain your | ego identification, for everyone believes that identification is |
| Tx:11.36 | The | ego is certain that love is dangerous, and this is always its central |
| Tx:11.36 | puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the | ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for love. Yet the |
| Tx:11.36 | is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for love. Yet the | ego, though encouraging the search very actively, makes one proviso— |
| Tx:11.36 | up simply as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the | ego holds out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the ego |
| Tx:11.36 | the ego holds out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the | ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and its reality |
| Tx:11.37 | The search which the | ego undertakes is therefore bound to be defeated. And since it also |
| Tx:11.37 | you to a journey which must end in perceived self-defeat. For the | ego cannot love, and in its frantic search for love, it is seeking |
| Tx:11.37 | what it is afraid to find. The search is inevitable because the | ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not |
| Tx:11.37 | because the ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the | ego is not wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. For |
| Tx:11.37 | do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on which the | ego sets you. |
| Tx:11.38 | to find what would utterly defeat him. Being unable to love, the | ego would be totally inadequate in love's presence, for it could not |
| Tx:11.38 | that it had not taught you the response pattern you need. The | ego will therefore distort love and teach you that love calls forth |
| Tx:11.38 | love and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the | ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for |
| Tx:11.39 | Do you realize that the | ego must set you on a journey which cannot but lead to a sense of |
| Tx:11.53 | The | ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your |
| Tx:11.66 | that you see what you seek, for what you seek you will find. The | ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not find love, for |
| Tx:11.75 | The | ego is not a traitor to God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it |
| Tx:11.75 | as long as you feel guilty, you are listening to the voice of the | ego, which tells you that you have been treacherous to God and |
| Tx:11.75 | death. You will think that death comes from God and not from the | ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you believe that you |
| Tx:11.75 | God and not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the | ego, you believe that you want death. And from what you want, God |
| Tx:11.90 | hold it dear. For the blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the | ego never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, |
| Tx:11.90 | the proof that the ego never was and can never be. Without guilt the | ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon |
| Tx:11.98 | is the ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The | ego believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to |
| Tx:11.98 | guilt must also believe it, for how else but by identifying with the | ego could you hold dear what you do not want? |
| Tx:11.99 | The | ego teaches you to attack yourself because you are guilty, and this |
| Tx:12.1 | The ultimate purpose of projection, as the | ego uses it, is always to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically, |
| Tx:12.1 | uses it, is always to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the | ego attempts to get rid of guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as |
| Tx:12.1 | to get rid of guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as the | ego wants to retain guilt, you find it intolerable, since guilt |
| Tx:12.1 | deepest split of all occurs, for if you are to retain guilt as the | ego insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is |
| Tx:12.1 | you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is you, could the | ego possibly induce you to project guilt and thereby keep it in your |
| Tx:12.2 | why. On the contrary, you associate them with a weird assortment of | ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no idea |
| Tx:12.2 | you associate them with a weird assortment of ego ideals which the | ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing |
| Tx:12.4 | behavior is directly attributable to its definition of guilt. To the | ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not attack are its |
| Tx:12.4 | and deepest cornerstone in the ego's foundation, and while the | ego can withstand your raising all else to question, it guards this |
| Tx:12.4 | secret. So it is this secret that we must look upon calmly, for the | ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the ego is |
| Tx:12.4 | the ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the | ego is dispelled. |
| Tx:12.5 | and indiscriminately, but you have not uncovered its source. For the | ego does want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must |
| Tx:12.6 | We once said that the crucifixion is the symbol of the | ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of God's Son, |
| Tx:12.6 | reason it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the | ego the ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the |
| Tx:12.6 | it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the ego the | ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the final guilt |
| Tx:12.8 | accepted it for yourself. You have recognized the futility of the | ego and its offerings, but though you do not want the ego, you do not |
| Tx:12.8 | of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not want the | ego, you do not look upon the alternative with gladness. You are |
| Tx:12.11 | cornerstone without fear if you did not believe that, without the | ego, you would find within yourself something you fear even more. You |
| Tx:12.15 | not so dear as what you made. You are more afraid of God than of the | ego, and love cannot enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, |
| Tx:12.23 | this world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The | ego teaches that your function on earth is destruction and that you |
| Tx:12.26 | The | ego has a very strange notion of time, and it is with this notion |
| Tx:12.26 | it is with this notion that your questioning might well begin. The | ego invests heavily in the past and in the end believes that the past |
| Tx:12.26 | making them continuous without an intervening present. For the | ego uses the present only as a brief transition to the future, in |
| Tx:12.27 | Now has no meaning to the | ego. The present merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts to |
| Tx:12.27 | past hurts, and it reacts to the present as if it were the past. The | ego cannot tolerate release from the past, and although the past is |
| Tx:12.27 | release from the past, and although the past is no more, the | ego tries to preserve its image by responding as if it were present. |
| Tx:12.28 | opportunities which you could find for release in the present. The | ego would preserve your nightmares and prevent you from awakening and |
| Tx:12.29 | always meet yourself and the encounter is holy because you are. The | ego teaches that you always encounter your past, and because your |
| Tx:12.31 | The | ego, on the other hand, regards the function of time as one of |
| Tx:12.31 | extending itself in place of eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the | ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The continuity of past |
| Tx:12.31 | of past and future under its direction is the only purpose the | ego perceives in time, and it closes over the present so that no gap |
| Tx:12.68 | hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept if it is left to you. The | ego wants to have things for salvation, for possession is its law. |
| Tx:12.69 | Everything that the | ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the ego urges |
| Tx:12.69 | that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the | ego urges you again and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what |
| Tx:12.69 | it, it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the | ego sees salvation, it sees separation, and so you lose whatever you |
| Tx:13.12 | you will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The | ego rewards fidelity to it with pain, for faith in it is pain. And |
| Tx:13.18 | Do not be afraid to look within. The | ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids you not to |
| Tx:13.45 | must be reconciled with truth. This is the reconciliation which the | ego would substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto |
| Tx:13.45 | in His Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the | ego will not effect what it attempts. |
| Tx:13.46 | Failure is of the | ego, not of God. From Him you cannot wander, and there is no |
| Tx:13.47 | The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the | ego, except that His conclusions are not insane. They take a |
| Tx:13.47 | a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the | ego points to darkness and to death. We have followed much of the |
| Tx:13.68 | deciding between the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the | ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy |
| Tx:13.68 | and the resurrection, between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The | ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for |
| Tx:14.38 | to what you are. The bringing together of truth and illusion, of the | ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making |
| Tx:14.39 | Bringing the | ego to God is but to bring error to truth, where it stands corrected |
| Tx:14.42 | God's reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the | ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images |
| Tx:14.49 | some are reflections of Heaven, while others are motivated by the | ego, which but seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing |
| Tx:14.50 | do this and bring any order into chaos shows you that you are not an | ego and that more than an ego must be in you. For the ego is chaos, |
| Tx:14.50 | into chaos shows you that you are not an ego and that more than an | ego must be in you. For the ego is chaos, and if it were all of you, |
| Tx:14.50 | you are not an ego and that more than an ego must be in you. For the | ego is chaos, and if it were all of you, no order at all would be |
| Tx:14.50 | Yet though the order which you impose upon your minds limits the | ego, it also limits you. To order is to judge and to arrange by |
| Tx:14.52 | but only to the particular perception of his offering by which the | ego judges it. |
| Tx:14.53 | The | ego is incapable of understanding content and is totally unconcerned |
| Tx:14.53 | of understanding content and is totally unconcerned with it. To the | ego, if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it |
| Tx:14.53 | at all. For of yourselves you could not know of it. The study of the | ego is not the study of the mind. In fact, the ego enjoys the study |
| Tx:14.53 | it. The study of the ego is not the study of the mind. In fact, the | ego enjoys the study of itself and thoroughly approves the |
| Tx:14.54 | remains the ego's chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the | ego truly. Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth, |
| Tx:14.54 | Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth, the | ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of union tells |
| Tx:14.73 | return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the | ego on behalf of Him. Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only |
| Tx:14.73 | to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him. Call not upon the | ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:15.2 | seems to bring with it is due but to your identification with the | ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, |
| Tx:15.2 | the ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The | ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the |
| Tx:15.2 | you of the inevitability of the goal and end of teaching. To the | ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the |
| Tx:15.3 | The | ego is an ally of time, but not a friend. For it is as mistrustful of |
| Tx:15.3 | as it is of life, and what it wants for you it cannot tolerate. The | ego wants you dead, but not itself. The outcome of its strange |
| Tx:15.3 | The belief in hell is inescapable to those who identify with the | ego. Their nightmares and their fears are all associated with it. |
| Tx:15.4 | The | ego teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its |
| Tx:15.4 | all its teaching is directed to. Hell is its goal, for although the | ego aims at death and dissolution as an end, it does not believe it. |
| Tx:15.4 | ego's thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the | ego must seem to keep fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it |
| Tx:15.5 | Again the | ego tries and all too frequently succeeds in doing both by using |
| Tx:15.5 | contradictory aims together so that they seem to be reconciled. The | ego teaches thus: Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet |
| Tx:15.6 | The | ego teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell. |
| Tx:15.6 | is here and bids him leap from hell into oblivion. The only time the | ego allows anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the |
| Tx:15.7 | be the same is hidden a far more insidious threat to peace. The | ego does not advertise its final threat, for it would have its |
| Tx:15.7 | to the belief in hell, and always does. The only way in which the | ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to bring hell here, |
| Tx:15.8 | The Holy Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the | ego has made of the present. The belief in hell is what prevents you |
| Tx:15.8 | are afraid of it. The Holy Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the | ego drives to hell. For the Holy Spirit, Who knows only the present, |
| Tx:15.8 | Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by which the | ego would make the present useless. There is no escape from fear in |
| Tx:15.19 | how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of | ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception |
| Tx:15.19 | them as sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to the | ego in your perception and seem to provide reasons for not letting it |
| Tx:15.19 | His strength. It is, therefore, your choice whether they support the | ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will know which you have |
| Tx:15.26 | given him. We asked you once before, “Would you be hostage to the | ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy |
| Tx:15.27 | your attempts to deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the | ego cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision |
| Tx:15.37 | Be humble before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the | ego before the plan of God. For you leave empty your place in His |
| Tx:15.39 | this course is simple is that truth is simple. Complexity is of the | ego and is nothing more than the ego's attempt to obscure the obvious. |
| Tx:15.45 | means. You are afraid of this because you believe that without the | ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego all |
| Tx:15.45 | the ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the | ego all would be love. |
| Tx:15.48 | uses special relationships, which you have chosen to support the | ego, as a learning experience which points to truth. Under His |
| Tx:15.65 | everything. This is not the basis for any relationship in which the | ego enters. For every relationship on which the ego embarks is |
| Tx:15.65 | in which the ego enters. For every relationship on which the | ego embarks is special. The ego establishes relationships only to get |
| Tx:15.65 | For every relationship on which the ego embarks is special. The | ego establishes relationships only to get something. And it would |
| Tx:15.66 | It is impossible for the | ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego |
| Tx:15.66 | for the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the | ego believes that anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but |
| Tx:15.66 | friends. This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For the | ego really believes that it can get and keep by making guilty. This |
| Tx:15.66 | would have no hold at all, except that no one recognizes it. For the | ego always seems to attract through love and has no attraction at all |
| Tx:15.68 | We said before that the | ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in such a way that |
| Tx:15.68 | doctrine that what you do to others, you have escaped. The | ego wishes no one well. Yet its survival depends on your belief that |
| Tx:15.69 | around the chosen host of God, who cannot make himself host to the | ego. In the name of his release, and in the name of Him Who would |
| Tx:15.69 | release him, let us look more closely at the relationships which the | ego contrives and let the Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is |
| Tx:15.70 | In one way or another, every relationship which the | ego makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes |
| Tx:15.70 | to attack directly and avoid delaying what it really wants. Yet the | ego acknowledges “reality” as it sees it and recognizes that no one |
| Tx:15.71 | sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the | ego believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only |
| Tx:15.71 | to lose him. For it is only by attack without forgiveness that the | ego can ensure the guilt which holds all its relationships together. |
| Tx:15.72 | Yet they only seem to be together. For relationships, to the | ego, mean only that bodies are together. It is always physical |
| Tx:15.72 | that bodies are together. It is always physical closeness that the | ego demands, and it does not object where the mind goes or what it |
| Tx:15.72 | as the body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the | ego, the mind is private, and only the body can be shared. Ideas are |
| Tx:15.73 | Suffering and sacrifice are the gifts with which the | ego would “bless” all unions. And those who are united at its altar |
| Tx:15.73 | at the ego's altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the | ego really wants, you do not realize. |
| Tx:15.74 | can be sure that you have formed a special relationship which the | ego has “blessed,” for anger is its blessing. Anger takes many forms, |
| Tx:15.74 | someone feel guilty, and this attempt is the only basis which the | ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only need the ego |
| Tx:15.74 | ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only need the | ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt will remain |
| Tx:15.76 | you will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the | ego will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that |
| Tx:15.85 | As the | ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so |
| Tx:15.86 | gratification what you think you want. The body is the symbol of the | ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are nothing |
| Tx:15.86 | what you think you want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the | ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are nothing more than |
| Tx:15.87 | given you. But to see this, it is necessary to give up every use the | ego has for the body and to accept the fact that the ego has no |
| Tx:15.87 | every use the ego has for the body and to accept the fact that the | ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the ego would limit |
| Tx:15.87 | fact that the ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the | ego would limit everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you |
| Tx:15.87 | will never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the | ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable, will strive for them |
| Tx:15.88 | to divide your strength between Heaven and hell, God and the | ego, and release your power unto creation, which is the only purpose |
| Tx:15.88 | you. Love would always give increase. Limits are demanded by the | ego, representing its demands to make little and ineffectual. Limit |
| Tx:15.89 | limited, and only those whom you would see without the limits the | ego would impose on them can offer you the gift of freedom. |
| Tx:15.91 | and renounce its use for separation and attack which the | ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In |
| Tx:15.92 | it is the Holy Spirit's function to use them both, though not as the | ego uses them. This is the season when you would celebrate my birth |
| Tx:15.95 | mistake. It seems like many, but it is all the same. For though the | ego takes many forms, it is always the same idea. What is not love is |
| Tx:15.95 | is simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to the | ego or hostage to God. This is the choice you think you have, and the |
| Tx:15.97 | As host to the | ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you |
| Tx:15.97 | the payment does not seem to be yours. While it is obvious that the | ego does demand payment, it never seems to be demanding it of you. |
| Tx:15.97 | be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to recognize that the | ego, which you invited, is treacherous only to those who think they |
| Tx:15.97 | is treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The | ego will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would |
| Tx:15.97 | recognition dawns clearly, you will not be deceived by any form the | ego takes to protect itself from your sight. |
| Tx:15.98 | demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the | ego seems to demand less of you than God, and of the two is judged as |
| Tx:15.100 | You will not succeed in being partial hostage to the | ego, for it keeps no bargains and would leave you nothing. [Nor can |
| Tx:16.1 | When He relates through you, He does not relate through the | ego to another ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing |
| Tx:16.1 | relates through you, He does not relate through the ego to another | ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing pain is not |
| Tx:16.2 | The clearest proof that empathy as the | ego uses it is destructive lies in the fact that it is applied only |
| Tx:16.2 | what is like itself.] Make no mistake about this maneuver; the | ego always empathizes to weaken, and to weaken is always to attack. |
| Tx:16.44 | the attempt to make guilty is always directed against God. For the | ego would have you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty, leaving the |
| Tx:16.44 | appeal to those unwilling to relinquish guilt. The “dynamics” of the | ego are clearest here, for counting on the attraction of this |
| Tx:16.46 | which He denied. It is essential to the preservation of the | ego that you believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For |
| Tx:16.46 | that you believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the | ego would never have you see that separation can only be loss, being |
| Tx:16.47 | completion. There can be no disagreement on this, because both the | ego and the Holy Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete |
| Tx:16.47 | lies first in union and then in the extension of union. To the | ego, completion lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory” |
| Tx:16.47 | From this it follows that union, which is a condition in which the | ego cannot interfere, must be hell. |
| Tx:16.48 | The special relationship is a strange and unnatural | ego device for joining hell and Heaven and making them |
| Tx:16.49 | Most curious of all is the concept of the self which the | ego fosters in the special relationship. This “self” seeks the |
| Tx:16.50 | The “better” self the | ego seeks is always one that is more special. And whoever seems to |
| Tx:16.50 | him. Where both partners see this special self in each other, the | ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one will recognize |
| Tx:16.51 | of hell lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the | ego holds out to those who place their faith in littleness. The |
| Tx:16.51 | ego's goals, is to destroy reality and substitute illusion. For the | ego is itself an illusion, and only illusions can be the witnesses to |
| Tx:16.59 | special relationship is the sign that you equate yourself with the | ego and not with God. For the special relationship has value only to |
| Tx:16.59 | and not with God. For the special relationship has value only to the | ego. To the ego unless a relationship has special value, it has no |
| Tx:16.59 | God. For the special relationship has value only to the ego. To the | ego unless a relationship has special value, it has no meaning, and |
| Tx:16.60 | You do not recognize that this is its real appeal, for the | ego has taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet the closer you look |
| Tx:16.62 | universe would enter into it. Yet the special relationship which the | ego seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the ego |
| Tx:16.62 | the ego seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the | ego wants but part of him and sees only this part and nothing else. |
| Tx:16.67 | Be glad you have escaped the mockery of salvation which the | ego offered you and look not back with longing on the travesty it |
| Tx:16.72 | on the past. It is completely savage and completely insane. For the | ego remembers everything that you have done which offended it and |
| Tx:16.72 | which to act out its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the | ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the past, it |
| Tx:16.72 | justly merit. Yet without your alliance in your own destruction, the | ego could not hold you to the past. |
| Tx:16.74 | of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which the | ego never allows to reach awareness is that the special relationship |
| Tx:16.79 | of Atonement arising from His Love. Be an ally of God and not the | ego in seeking how Atonement can come to you. His help suffices, for |
| Tx:17.15 | to its power. It is these shadow figures which would make the | ego holy in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is |
| Tx:17.20 | be undone. For separation must be corrected where it was made. The | ego seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their source, but where |
| Tx:17.22 | it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the | ego cannot break apart. The spark of holiness must be safe, however |
| Tx:17.24 | for entering into a continuing, unholy alliance with the | ego against the present. For the present is forgiveness. Therefore, |
| Tx:17.25 | is all the same. For you can never choose except between God and the | ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes |
| Tx:17.29 | Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the | ego did not understand what had been created, it was aware of threat. |
| Tx:17.30 | The whole defense system which the | ego evolved to protect the separation from the Holy Spirit was in |
| Tx:17.31 | The | ego is hyperalert to threat, and the part of your mind into which the |
| Tx:17.31 | is hyperalert to threat, and the part of your mind into which the | ego was accepted is very anxious to preserve its reason as it sees |
| Tx:17.32 | of delusions. You recognize, at least in general terms, that the | ego is insane. Yet the special relationship still seems to you |
| Tx:17.34 | has the most imposing and deceptive frame of all the defenses the | ego uses. Its thought system is offered here, surrounded by a frame |
| Tx:17.37 | seen as what it represents. For as the whole thought system of the | ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant, |
| Tx:17.46 | The temptation of the | ego becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the |
| Tx:17.47 | the goal more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the | ego given time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking. |
| Tx:17.49 | Now the | ego counsels thus—substitute for this another relationship to which |
| Tx:17.58 | anything. The reason for this disorganized approach is evident. The | ego does not know what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it |
| Tx:17.59 | line. And now the only judgment left to make is whether or not the | ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does it call for vengeance? The |
| Tx:17.61 | again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the | ego believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:17.62 | what you can give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the | ego, for the ego believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation |
| Tx:17.62 | can give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the | ego believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not |
| Tx:17.63 | with any aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the | ego will attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. |
| Tx:18.1 | is to exclude, and substitution is the strongest defense the | ego has for separation. |
| Tx:18.2 | The Holy Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the | ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy |
| Tx:18.2 | everything seems to come between the fragmented relationships the | ego sponsors to destroy. |
| Tx:18.14 | whatever seemed to attack you and change it into a tribute to your | ego, which was outraged by the “attack.” This would not be your wish |
| Tx:18.14 | This would not be your wish unless you saw yourself as one with the | ego, which always looks upon itself and therefore on you as under |
| Tx:18.15 | they are a way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the | ego better. They provide striking examples both of the ego's |
| Tx:18.32 | to give the Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the | ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but little. It is He who |
| Tx:18.73 | Within this kingdom the | ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this little speck of dust, it |
| Tx:19.2 | him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your | ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision |
| Tx:19.21 | Any attempt to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the | ego. The idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and |
| Tx:19.22 | It can indeed be said the | ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be |
| Tx:19.22 | For sin has changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the | ego wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable |
| Tx:19.23 | of what the Son of God has made himself to be and what he is. To the | ego, this is no mistake. For this is its reality; this is the “truth” |
| Tx:19.24 | that is all it is. Perhaps you would be tempted to agree with the | ego that it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you |
| Tx:19.25 | and will be forever desirable. As an essential part of what the | ego thinks you are, you will always want it. And only an avenger with |
| Tx:19.26 | The | ego does not think it possible that love, not fear, is really called |
| Tx:19.26 | not fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the | ego brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but |
| Tx:19.56 | the symbol of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the | ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. |
| Tx:19.58 | store and make your lives complete. This is completion, as the | ego sees it. For guilt creeps in where happiness has been removed and |
| Tx:19.71 | is essential that this relationship be understood, for it is one the | ego sees as proof of sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but |
| Tx:19.73 | which they are invested is given by the sender and the receiver. The | ego and the Holy Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize |
| Tx:19.73 | receiver are the same. The Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The | ego hides it, for it would keep you unaware of it. Who would send |
| Tx:19.75 | madness, 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 |
| Tx:19.76 | from the Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the | ego, the Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is |
| Tx:19.76 | seeking itself along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the | ego find the death it seeks, returning it to you. |
| 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 |
| Tx:19.77 | the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living things because the | ego is the “enemy” of life. |
| Tx:19.79 | not its source. And death is the result of the thought we call the | ego as surely as life is the result of the Thought of God. |
| Tx:19.80 | From the | ego came sin and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence |
| Tx:19.81 | glitter of guilt you laid upon the body would kill it. For what the | ego loves, it kills for its obedience. But what obeys it not, it |
| Tx:19.85 | Under the dusty edge of its distorted world, the | ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay |
| Tx:19.88 | of fear comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the | ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death. |
| Tx:19.92 | sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise made in secret to the | ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor even to suspect |
| Tx:19.92 | suspect that it is there. This is the secret bargain made with the | ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and |
| Tx:19.93 | cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid of death than of the | ego. These are your chosen friends. For in your secret alliance with |
| Tx:19.95 | the “holy” waxen image of death, and the fear of vengeance of the | ego you swore in blood not to desert, all rise and bid you not to |
| Tx:19.97 | Forget not that you came this far together. And it was surely not the | ego that led you here. No obstacle to peace can be surmounted through |
| Tx:20.17 | Adjustments of any kind are of the | ego. For it is the ego's fixed belief that all relationships depend |
| Tx:20.17 | which there are no interferences, are always seen as dangerous. The | ego is the self-appointed mediator of all relationships, making |
| Tx:20.20 | you. This sickly picture of yourself is carefully preserved by the | ego, whose image it is and which it loves, and placed outside you in |
| Tx:20.21 | The world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the | ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful |
| Tx:20.39 | It is impossible to overestimate your brother's value. Only the | ego does this, but all it means is that it wants the other for itself |
| Tx:20.48 | for all that it could offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the | ego seeks as many bodies as it can collect to place its idols in and |
| Tx:20.61 | cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ or of the | ego. Either must be an error, for both would place the attributes |
| Tx:20.62 | The body is the means by which the | ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy |
| Tx:21.20 | in it the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the | ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to |
| Tx:21.24 | We have already said that wishful thinking is how the | ego deals with what it wants to make it so. There is no better |
| Tx:21.41 | you would not be fearful to admit. Fear in association with sin the | ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no fear to |
| Tx:21.42 | Remember that the | ego is not alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” Whom |
| Tx:21.42 | its unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the | ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light |
| Tx:21.42 | not the ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it. Loudly indeed the | ego claims it is—too loudly and too often. For underneath this |
| Tx:21.42 | For underneath this constant shout and frantic proclamation, the | ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look within because |
| Tx:21.42 | within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes the | ego tremble. |
| Tx:21.43 | you looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the | ego never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's |
| Tx:21.43 | themselves from their belief that their identity lies in the | ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with what is part |
| Tx:21.44 | insanity and on to reason. And what your reason tells you now, the | ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the |
| Tx:21.44 | The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the | ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with which you |
| Tx:21.45 | of release to come to you. And now you recognize that it was not the | ego that joined the Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be |
| Tx:21.47 | And now the | ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other part hears as |
| Tx:21.47 | as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since first the | ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its strength. The |
| Tx:21.48 | What it would keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon the | ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness |
| Tx:21.50 | of it needs your help because it is your choice. Listen to what the | ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you |
| Tx:21.51 | for help, the only one It makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the | ego because it does not understand how separate minds can influence |
| Tx:21.53 | such is clearly not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the | ego is proof you will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be |
| Tx:21.56 | reason in insanity, for it depends entirely on reason's absence. The | ego never uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The |
| Tx:21.58 | and belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the | ego will never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question |
| Tx:22.16 | opposite of illusions is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the | ego, to which truth is meaningless, do they appear to be the only |
| Tx:22.20 | Both reason and the | ego will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The |
| Tx:22.20 | will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The | ego will assure you now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt |
| Tx:22.21 | period in this course, for here the separation of you and the | ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy |
| Tx:22.21 | used. And through their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the | ego this must be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds |
| Tx:22.29 | thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and the | ego are contradictory. Nor is it possible for them to co-exist in |
| Tx:22.29 | is not ambiguous. It can be understood. And here do reason and the | ego separate to go their different ways. |
| Tx:22.30 | of errors. It looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the | ego damn and reason save. |
| Tx:22.32 | Only the form of error attracts the | ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not know if it is there |
| Tx:22.32 | their form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a special form the | ego venerates. It would preserve all errors and make them sins. For |
| Tx:22.46 | Consider what the | ego wants defenses for—always to justify what goes against the |
| Tx:22.65 | makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the | ego with this gift. For it was given you to be used and not obscured. |
| Tx:22.65 | and not obscured. What teaches you you cannot separate, denies the | ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the same and teach you |
| Tx:23.7 | is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that you believe the | ego has the power to be victorious. Why else would you identify with |
| Tx:23.7 | Why else would you identify with it? Surely you realize the | ego is at war with God. Certain it is it has no enemy. Yet just as |
| Tx:23.8 | if it were possible, would be your death. Is this a victory? The | ego always marches to defeat because it thinks that triumph over you |
| Tx:23.9 | Be certain that it is impossible God and the | ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You seem to meet and make |

| Tx:4.31 | which actually refers to a condition in which the delusion of the | ego's reality is threatened. This produces either ego deflation or |
| Tx:4.32 | substitute for it. That is why the concept of “getting” arose in the | ego's thought system. All appetites are “getting” mechanisms, |
| Tx:4.32 | system. All appetites are “getting” mechanisms, representing the | ego's need to confirm itself. This is as true of bodily appetites as |
| Tx:4.35 | of magic. The “battle for survival” is nothing more than the | ego's struggle to preserve itself and its interpretation of its own |
| Tx:4.50 | without ambivalence, and this kind of wanting is wholly without the | ego's “drive to get.” There is a kind of experience which is so |
| Tx:4.54 | not exist and which therefore makes it profoundly afraid. In the | ego's language, remember, “to have” and “to be” are different, but |

| Tx:4.69 | things work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the | ego's judgment. Control is a central factor in what the ego permits |
| Tx:4.70 | A major source of the | ego's off-balanced state is its lack of discrimination between |
| Tx:4.70 | only in terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In one sense the | ego's fear of the idea of God is at least logical, since this idea |
| Tx:4.71 | The body is the | ego's home by its own election. It is the only identification with |
| Tx:4.75 | it hopes to hide the real question and keep it out of mind. The | ego's characteristic busyness with non-essentials is for precisely |
| Tx:4.96 | The specificity of the | ego's thinking, then, results in a spurious kind of generalization |
| Tx:4.103 | else because it is too often misused as a way of exerting the | ego's domination over other egos, rather than as a real experiment in |
| Tx:4.105 | rehabilitation back. Rehabilitation is not concerned either with the | ego's fight for control or its need to avoid and withdraw. You can do |
| Tx:5.35 | alone, your meditations will frighten you because by adopting the | ego's viewpoint you are undertaking an ego-alien journey with the ego |
| Tx:5.36 | of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the | ego's notions, because true and false perceptions are themselves |
| Tx:5.37 | Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is the | ego's domain, accepts it without question. The only aspect of time |
| Tx:5.38 | His ability to deal with symbols enables Him to work against the | ego's beliefs in its own language. His equal ability to look beyond |
| Tx:5.39 | invariably frightens the ego because it is so calm. Peace is the | ego's greatest enemy because, according to its interpretation of |
| Tx:5.41 | to his will because part of his will is still for God. Despite the | ego's attempts to conceal this part, it is still much stronger than |
| Tx:5.59 | concepts will become clearer and more personally meaningful if the | ego's use of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the |
| Tx:5.59 | clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. The | ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful can be egotistic. The |
| Tx:5.59 | ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful can be egotistic. The | ego's logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit, because your |
| Tx:5.60 | concept except to the ego, but do not underestimate the power of the | ego's belief in it. This is the belief from which all guilt really |
| Tx:5.62 | a delusional system, and it speaks for it. Listening to the | ego's voice means that you believe it is possible to attack God. You |
| Tx:5.64 | act of assault. This is an interpretation which is necessary to the | ego's survival, because as soon as you regard sin as a lack you will |
| Tx:5.72 | thus ensure that the future will remain like the past. This is the | ego's continuity and gives it a false sense of security through the |
| Tx:5.74 | the lower courts' decisions about the laws of this world. The | ego's decisions are always wrong, because they are based on a |
| Tx:5.75 | We need cite only a few examples to see how the | ego's interpretations have misled you. A favorite ego quotation is |
| Tx:5.79 | with you. Remember the symbolic reference we made before to the | ego's dark glass, and remember also that we said, “Do not look |
| Tx:5.92 | and spirit with Him. Excluding yourself from the Atonement is the | ego's last-ditch defense of its own existence. It reflects both the |
| Tx:5.92 | ego's last-ditch defense of its own existence. It reflects both the | ego's need to separate and your willingness to side with its |
| Tx:6.26 | In the | ego's use of projection, to which we are obviously referring, what |
| Tx:6.31 | is the counterpart of the perfect equality of God's knowing. The | ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:6.37 | The difference between the | ego's use of projection and projection as the Holy Spirit uses it is |
| Tx:6.48 | ally, because the body is not part of you. This makes the body the | ego's friend. It is an alliance frankly based on separation. If you |
| Tx:6.50 | because you will be awake. Your dreams have contained many of the | ego's symbols, and they have confused you. Yet that was only because |
| Tx:6.54 | perfect, does not insult them. This would be as impossible as the | ego's notion that it has insulted Him. |
| Tx:6.56 | A harsh and strident form of communication arose as the | ego's voice. It could not shatter the peace of God, but it could |
| Tx:6.74 | less acceptable to it, would obviously be that it is insane. The | ego's judgment, then, is predetermined by what it is, though no more |
| Tx:6.83 | being in fundamental disagreement about what you are. The | ego's beliefs on this crucial issue vary, and that is why it promotes |
| Tx:7.22 | applied them to a unified curriculum. The fact that this was not the | ego's reason for learning is totally irrelevant. |
| Tx:7.23 | and the Holy Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He adapts the | ego's potentials for excelling to potentials for equalizing. This |
| Tx:7.23 | to potentials for equalizing. This makes them useless for the | ego's purpose but very useful for His. If different abilities are |
| Tx:7.27 | it. Yet what is “treacherous” to the ego is faithful to peace. The | ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. We said before that the ego's |
| Tx:7.27 | The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. We said before that the | ego's friend is not part of you, since the ego perceives itself as at |
| Tx:7.36 | The | ego's goal is as unified as the Holy Spirit's, and it is because of |
| Tx:7.39 | the potential is used for. That is a decision. The effects of the | ego's decision in this matter are so apparent that they need no |
| Tx:7.41 | one He knows. He recognizes no other, because He does not accept the | ego's confusion of mind and body. Minds can communicate, but they |
| Tx:7.78 | of Heaven from him. This is the ultimate basis for all of the | ego's projection. |
| Tx:7.81 | Perceive any part of the | ego's thought system as wholly insane, wholly delusional, and wholly |
| Tx:7.83 | project, because that is how it lives, and every mind is life. The | ego's use of projection must be fully understood before its |
| Tx:7.88 | belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the | ego's existence yourself, you will have laid aside all anger and all |
| Tx:7.93 | than can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The | ego's whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only |
| Tx:7.97 | more true than your failure to acknowledge the whole result of the | ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this |
| Tx:7.98 | You have carried the | ego's reasoning to its logical conclusion, which is total confusion |
| Tx:7.98 | not see the whole of it. You [therefore] are willing to look at the | ego's premises but not at their logical outcome. Is it not possible |
| Tx:7.102 | not wish. Your will is as powerful as His because it is His. The | ego's wishes do not mean anything, because the ego wishes for the |
| Tx:7.102 | wish for the impossible, but you can will only with God. This is the | ego's weakness and your strength. |
| Tx:8.3 | The | ego's voice is an hallucination. You cannot expect it to say, “I am |
| Tx:8.9 | to anything. Simply on the grounds of your own experience with the | ego's teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your future |
| Tx:8.41 | The | ego's way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:8.53 | enters your mind, you are equating yourself with a body. This is the | ego's interpretation of the body. You do not have to attack |
| Tx:8.61 | Soul can reach beyond its distortions and return to the Soul. The | ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where |
| Tx:8.69 | Attitudes toward the body are attitudes toward attack. The | ego's definitions of everything are childish and always based on what |
| Tx:8.72 | It has been particularly difficult to overcome the | ego's belief in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with |
| Tx:8.72 | investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you object to the | ego's firm belief that you are not invulnerable? This is a |
| Tx:8.72 | not invulnerable? This is a particularly appealing argument from the | ego's point of view because it obscures the obvious attack which |
| Tx:8.72 | decided against attack, you could not give this false witness to the | ego's stand. |
| Tx:8.73 | would not consider sickness such a strong witness on behalf of the | ego's views. |
| Tx:8.75 | Sickness is meaningful only if the two basic premises on which the | ego's interpretation of the body rests are true. Specifically, these |
| Tx:8.77 | feel. You do not know how you feel, because you have accepted the | ego's confusion, and you think that a learning device can tell you |
| Tx:8.78 | you want can distort what you see and hear. No one can doubt the | ego's skill in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your |
| Tx:8.80 | Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the | ego's belief that the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather |
| Tx:8.82 | waking is joining. Dreams are illusions of joining, taking on the | ego's distortions about what joining means if you are sleeping under |
| Tx:8.90 | Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your will is not the | ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the |
| Tx:9.12 | because you are asking for one, though not of the right teacher. The | ego's plan, of course, makes no sense and will not work. By following |
| Tx:9.12 | in an impossible situation to which the ego always leads you. The | ego's plan is to have you see error clearly first and then overlook |
| Tx:9.16 | for yours. It seems absurd to have to emphasize repeatedly that the | ego's qualifications as a guide are singularly unfortunate and that |
| Tx:9.17 | not fear the Last Judgment, but welcome it and do not wait, for the | ego's time is borrowed from your eternity. This is the Second Coming, |
| Tx:9.20 | The | ego's plan for forgiveness is far more widely used than God's. This |
| Tx:9.22 | All unhealed healers follow the | ego's plan for forgiveness in one form or another. If they are |
| Tx:9.23 | The newer forms of the | ego's plan are as unhelpful as the older ones, because form does not |
| Tx:9.23 | does not matter at all. According to the newer forms of the | ego's plan, the therapist interprets the ego's symbols in the |
| Tx:9.23 | to the newer forms of the ego's plan, the therapist interprets the | ego's symbols in the nightmare and then uses them to prove that the |
| Tx:9.24 | It is noteworthy that this is a contradiction even in the | ego's terms, and one which it usually does note, even in its |
| Tx:9.26 | an “unimportant mind” esteem itself without magic. Both forms of the | ego's approach, then, must arrive at an impasse, the characteristic |
| Tx:9.42 | in return. What can this mean except that you are agreeing with the | ego's evaluation of what you are? If you are willing to see yourself |
| Tx:9.43 | do not ask, “Who granted it?” The question is meaningless within the | ego's thought system, because it opens the whole thought system to |
| Tx:9.44 | your littleness, therefore, is to deny all knowledge and keep the | ego's whole thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a |
| Tx:9.44 | does stand. The Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the | ego's thought system merely because He knows its foundation is not |
| Tx:9.58 | you hear, for God does not deceive. He would have you replace the | ego's belief in littleness with His own exalted answer to the |
| Tx:9.78 | afraid of losing this?] Look calmly at the logical conclusion of the | ego's thought system and judge whether its offering is really what |
| Tx:9.95 | Allegiance to the denial of God is the | ego's religion. The god of sickness obviously demands the denial of |
| Tx:10.3 | the light becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the | ego's thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the way. |

| Tx:10.39 | they cannot be dangerous. We are ready to look more closely at the | ego's thought system because together we have the lamp that will |
| Tx:10.43 | Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the | ego's goal, which is so clearly senseless that any effort exerted on |
| Tx:10.43 | effort exerted on its behalf is necessarily expended on nothing. The | ego's goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. From the beginning, |
| Tx:10.44 | itself. The real conflict you experience, then, is between the | ego's idle wishes and the Will of God, which you share. Can this be a |
| Tx:10.45 | He became as dependent on you as you are on Him. Do not ascribe the | ego's arrogance to Him, Who wills not to be independent of you. He |
| Tx:10.48 | but not really afraid. Minimizing fear but not its undoing is the | ego's constant effort and is indeed the skill at which it is very |
| Tx:10.50 | If the | ego's goal of autonomy could be accomplished, God's purpose could be |
| Tx:10.50 | from the impossible and the false from the true. According to the | ego's teaching, its goal can be accomplished, and God's purpose can |
| Tx:10.51 | cannot be found apart from your joint will. Recognize only that the | ego's goal, which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only] |
| Tx:10.54 | The | ego's interpretation of the laws of perception are, and would have to |
| Tx:10.56 | Do not underestimate the appeal of the | ego's demonstrations to those who would listen. Selective perception |
| Tx:11.5 | are unwilling to give help and to receive it. The analysis of the | ego's “real” motivation is the modern equivalent of the inquisition, |
| Tx:11.37 | to it. Yet it is also your mind that has the power to deny the | ego's existence, and you will surely do so when you realize exactly |
| Tx:11.38 | for it could not respond at all. You would have to abandon the | ego's guidance, for it would be quite apparent that it had not taught |
| Tx:11.49 | We have said that the | ego's rule is, “Seek and do not find.” Translated into curricular |
| Tx:11.74 | and have condemned yourself to death. The death penalty is the | ego's ultimate goal, for it fully believes that you are a criminal, |
| Tx:11.74 | knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty never leaves the | ego's mind, for that is what it always reserves for you in the end. |
| Tx:11.87 | kill to save. If it did, attack would be salvation, and this is the | ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the world of guilt could demand |
| Tx:11.96 | is a way of holding past and future in your minds to ensure the | ego's continuity. For if what has been will be punished, the ego's |
| Tx:11.96 | the ego's continuity. For if what has been will be punished, the | ego's continuity is guaranteed. Yet the guarantee of your continuity |
| Tx:11.96 | guaranteed. Yet the guarantee of your continuity is God's, not the | ego's. And immortality is the opposite of time, for time passes away, |
| Tx:11.98 | dispel guilt by making it real and then atoning for it. This is the | ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego |
| Tx:11.99 | must increase the guilt, for guilt is the result of attack. In the | ego's teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack makes |
| Tx:12.2 | Yet consider how strange a solution the | ego's arrangement is. You project guilt to get rid of it, but you are |
| Tx:12.3 | suspect this murderous but insane idea lies hidden there, for the | ego's destructive urge is so intense that nothing short of the |
| Tx:12.4 | Much of the | ego's strange behavior is directly attributable to its definition of |
| Tx:12.4 | go. They have approached the darkest and deepest cornerstone in the | ego's foundation, and while the ego can withstand your raising all |
| Tx:12.7 | you. Most of the time you dismiss it, but you do not dismiss the | ego's thought system. You have seen its results and you still lack |
| Tx:12.11 | You could look even upon the | ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not believe that, |
| Tx:12.11 | afraid 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 |
| Tx:12.12 | is salvation to prevent you from this. For still deeper than the | ego's foundation, and much stronger than it will ever be, is your |
| Tx:12.14 | to cover your love, and the deeper you go into the blackness of the | ego's foundation, the closer you come to the love that is hidden |
| Tx:12.27 | point, obscuring their present reality. In effect, if you follow the | ego's dictates, you will react to your brothers as though they were |
| Tx:12.29 | the Holy Spirit's perception of time is the exact opposite of the | ego's. The reason is equally clear, for they perceive the goal of |
| Tx:12.68 | for possession is its law. Possession for its own sake is the | ego's fundamental creed, a basic cornerstone in the churches that it |
| Tx:13.11 | done so, they will condemn, linking the future to the past as is the | ego's law. Fidelity unto this law lets no light in, for it demands |
| Tx:13.11 | in, for it demands fidelity to darkness and forbids awakening. The | ego's laws are strict, and breaches are severely punished. Therefore |
| Tx:13.12 | Release from guilt is the | ego's whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and |
| Tx:13.12 | Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by obeying the | ego's harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation of yourself, and |
| Tx:13.35 | Forgetfulness and sleep and even death become the | ego's best advice for how to deal with the perceived and harsh |
| Tx:13.47 | ego points to darkness and to death. We have followed much of the | ego's logic and have seen its logical conclusions. And having seen |
| Tx:14.14 | to whomever you see as guiltless. Crucifixion is always the | ego's aim. It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. |
| Tx:14.54 | This is characteristic of the | ego's judgments. Separately, they seem to hold, but put them together |
| Tx:14.54 | makes a cohesive system impossible. Separation therefore remains the | ego's chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet |
| Tx:15.4 | it craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who follows the | ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were |
| Tx:15.4 | pain, would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in the | ego's thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the |
| Tx:15.5 | it will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the | ego's version of immortality. And it is this the ego's version of |
| Tx:15.5 | Such is the ego's version of immortality. And it is this the | ego's version of time supports. |
| Tx:15.7 | How bleak and despairing is the | ego's use of time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical |
| Tx:15.8 | would make the present useless. There is no escape from fear in the | ego's use of time. For time, according to its teaching, is nothing |
| Tx:15.14 | to exchange hell for Heaven. Long enough to transcend all of the | ego's making and ascend unto your Father. |
| Tx:15.39 | is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is nothing more than the | ego's attempt to obscure the obvious. |
| Tx:15.46 | The past is the | ego's chief learning device, for it is in the past that you learned |
| Tx:15.51 | The | ego's use of relationships is so fragmented that it frequently goes |
| Tx:15.68 | way that you do not recognize what it would do to you. For it is the | ego's fundamental doctrine that what you do to others, you have |
| Tx:15.73 | never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the | ego's altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego really |
| Tx:15.76 | and its ability to overcome loneliness is but the working of the | ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As long as you believe that |
| Tx:15.99 | and away from you and not be host to Him. To Him you ascribed the | ego's treachery, inviting it to take His place to protect you from |
| Tx:16.1 | for that is what you must refuse to understand. That is the | ego's interpretation of empathy and is always used to form a special |
| Tx:16.5 | you do not understand. Be tempted not in this, and yield not to the | ego's triumphant use of empathy for its glory. |
| Tx:16.22 | is certain that you judge yourself according to your teaching. The | ego's teaching produces immediate results because its decisions are |
| Tx:16.22 | judge yourself accordingly. Cause and effect are very clear in the | ego's thought system because all your learning has been directed |
| Tx:16.44 | attack and unprotected from it. The special love relationship is the | ego's chief weapon for keeping you from Heaven. It does not appear to |
| Tx:16.44 | will realize what it must be. The special love relationship is the | ego's most boasted gift, and one which has the most appeal to those |
| Tx:16.46 | born of the hidden wish for special love from God, that the | ego's hatred triumphs. For the special relationship is the |
| Tx:16.48 | union rests on exclusion. What better example could there be of the | ego's maxim, “Seek but do not find?” |
| Tx:16.50 | that he has asked for hell, and so he will not interfere with the | ego's illusion of Heaven, which it offered him to interfere with |
| Tx:16.51 | purpose of the special relationship, in strict accordance with the | ego's goals, is to destroy reality and substitute illusion. For the |
| Tx:16.72 | Do not underestimate the intensity of the | ego's drive for vengeance on the past. It is completely savage and |
| Tx:16.73 | to you is that the present is useless to you while you pursue the | ego's goal as its ally. The past is gone; seek not to preserve it in |
| Tx:16.75 | Against the | ego's insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the |
| Tx:16.75 | opposites to point to truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the | ego's fixed belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In |
| Tx:16.79 | and illusion—between the real Atonement which would heal and the | ego's “atonement” which would destroy. The power of God and all His |
| Tx:17.15 | why you should enter into unholy alliances which support the | ego's goals and make your relationships the witness to its power. It |
| Tx:17.18 | indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For time is cruel in the | ego's hands, as it is kind when used for gentleness. The attraction |
| Tx:17.29 | hear the call of truth. In a sense the special relationship was the | ego's answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer |
| Tx:17.32 | we have looked at it far closer than at many other aspects of the | ego's thought system which you have been more willing to let go. |
| Tx:17.58 | beginning, for it is this which will determine the outcome. In the | ego's procedure, this is reversed. The situation becomes the |
| Tx:17.61 | because you are at peace. Here again, you see the opposite of the | ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation brings the |
| Tx:18.15 | to suit the ego better. They provide striking examples both of the | ego's inability to tolerate reality and your willingness to change |
| Tx:18.89 | it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real foundation for the | ego's thought system. Its thinness and transparency are not apparent |
| Tx:19.18 | and defeat. Sin is the “grand illusion” underlying all the | ego's grandiosity. For by it, God Himself is changed and rendered |
| Tx:19.20 | A major tenet in the | ego's insane religion is that sin is not error but truth, and it is |
| Tx:19.21 | through reverence and awe. It is the most “holy” concept in the | ego's system—lovely and powerful, wholly true, and necessarily |
| Tx:19.23 | There is no stone in all the | ego's embattled citadel more heavily defended than the idea that sin |
| Tx:19.23 | then, the death of God, Whom sin has killed! And this would be the | ego's wish, which in its madness it thinks it has accomplished. |
| Tx:19.72 | that pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the | ego's heavy investment in the body. And it is this insane |
| Tx:19.74 | The | ego's messages are always sent away from you in the belief that for |
| Tx:19.75 | chant the body's praise continually, in solemn celebration of the | ego's rule. Not one but must believe that yielding to the attraction |
| Tx:19.76 | It is not given to the | ego's disciples to realize that they have dedicated themselves to |
| Tx:19.78 | whose dedication it is not to live—the black-draped “sinners,” the | ego's mournful chorus, plodding so heavily away from life, dragging |
| Tx:19.79 | master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose in place of the | ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We know that an |
| Tx:19.83 | be the final and complete disruption of communication which is the | ego's goal. |
| Tx:19.84 | flow across seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden all the | ego's secrets, all its strange devices for deception, all its sick |
| Tx:19.84 | weird imaginings. Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the | ego's making over creation, the victory of lifelessness on Life |
| Tx:19.85 | orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless before the | ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created against the |
| Tx:19.85 | ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created against the | ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this |
| Tx:20.17 | Adjustments of any kind are of the ego. For it is the | ego's fixed belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments to |
| Tx:20.48 | It does not seek for power, but for relationships. The body is the | ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through relationships. And its |
| Tx:20.55 | The body is the | ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. |
| Tx:20.76 | substitutes for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the | ego's purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away |
| Tx:21.42 | blind. This you believe, and so you do not look. Yet this is not the | ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it. Loudly indeed the ego |
| Tx:21.43 | one the ego never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the | ego's whole defensive system too seriously for it to bother to |
| Tx:21.46 | teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have perceived the | ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did not choose to |
| Tx:21.47 | song it longed to hear since first the ego came into your minds. The | ego's weakness is its strength. The song of freedom, which sings the |
| Tx:21.47 | now it sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the | ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has come because it found |
| Tx:21.48 | Look gently on each other and remember the | ego's weakness is revealed in both your sight. What it would keep |
| Tx:21.49 | The still small Voice for God is not drowned out by all the | ego's raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who want to hear |
| Tx:21.53 | your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is clearly not the | ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you will not |
| Tx:21.55 | from the goal of sin as are the others. For reason is beyond the | ego's range of means. |
| Tx:22.29 | The introduction of reason into the | ego's thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and |
| Tx:22.30 | The | ego's whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this |
| Tx:22.30 | can be corrected, and thus it must have been an error. The | ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and |
| Tx:23.9 | that have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the body, the | ego's chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at a mistake |
| Tx:23.30 | Here is what makes your vengeance justified. Behold, unveiled, the | ego's secret gift, torn from your brother's body, hidden there in |
| Tx:25.39 | him and join with him in innocence and peace. And yet beneath the | ego's senseless shrieks, such is the call that God has given him that |
| W1:44.5 | speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived through the | ego's eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into hell. |
| W1:61.9 | Today's idea goes far beyond the | ego's petty views of what you are and what your purpose is. As a |
| W1:66.11 | and the many ways in which you tried to find salvation under the | ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you happy? Did they bring you |
| W1:71.1 | of God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in place of the | ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after |
| W1:71.1 | preposterous, of course. Yet after we have considered just what the | ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it |
| W1:71.2 | The | ego's plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It |
| W1:71.5 | Such is the | ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict |
| W1:71.5 | salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the | ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not find.” For what could more |
| W1:72.1 | While we have recognized that the | ego's plan for salvation is the opposite of God's, we have not yet |
| W1:72.2 | The | ego's fundamental wish is to replace God. In fact, the ego is the |
| W1:73.1 | considering the will you share with God. This is not the same as the | ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The |
| W1:73.1 | The will you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The | ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no power at all. |
| W1:73.2 | the world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the | ego's need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain it, |
| W1:73.4 | but the light of Heaven shines on it. Darkness has vanished; the | ego's idle wishes have been withdrawn. |
| W1:73.6 | in hell? Do you really want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the | ego's arguments which seek to prove all this is really Heaven. You |
| W1:75.5 | We do not see the | ego's shadow on the world today. We see the light, and in it we see |
| W1:106.1 | If you will lay aside the | ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not |
| W1:133.10 | he has merely failed to gain. He will believe that he has served the | ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear within |
| W1:133.11 | of deep unworthiness within himself. He who would still preserve the | ego's goals and serve them as his own makes no mistakes according to |
| W1:133.12 | If you feel any guilt about your choice, you have allowed the | ego's goals to come between the real alternatives, and thus you do |
| W1:151.4 | be withheld from you. You cannot judge. You merely can believe the | ego's judgments, all of which are false. It guides your senses |
| W1:151.7 | what God loves, and in the holy light of what He sees do all the | ego's dreams of what you are vanish before the splendor He beholds. |
| M:22.3 | The idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the | ego's thought system. This thought gives the body autonomy, separates |
| M:25.5 | to win back strength by guile. Many have not seen through the | ego's defenses here, although they are not particularly subtle. Yet, |

| Tx:16.48 | has merely led to fantasies of both and to the inability to perceive | either one as it is. The special relationship is the triumph of this |

| Tx:25.52 | we said before and think of it more carefully. It must be so that | either God is mad or is this world a place of madness. Not one |
| Tx:25.55 | worthy of your faith. But nothing else. What is not love is sin, and | either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless. Love is the |

| Tx:27.55 | Sin shifts from pain to pleasure and again to pain. For | either witness is the same and carries but one message: “You are here |

| Tx:11.9 | a step away from reality, not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly | emphasized the need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as |
| Tx:18.3 | from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete. The body is | emphasized, with special emphasis on certain parts, and used as the |

| Tx:5.38 | His equal ability to look beyond symbols into eternity also | enables Him to understand the laws of God, for which He speaks. He |

| Tx:6.46 | since the Kingdom is love, you believe that you are without it. This | enables the ego to regard itself as separate and outside its maker, |
| Tx:6.84 | in order to unify the mind so it can perceive without judgment. This | enables the mind to teach without judgment and therefore to learn to |
| Tx:7.38 | awakening to it, you are merely forgetting what you are not. This | enables you to remember what you are. |
| Tx:7.81 | and you have correctly evaluated all of it. This correction | enables you to perceive any part of creation as wholly real, wholly |

| Tx:11.68 | itself but not within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and | enables it to believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you |
| Tx:12.26 | is meaningful. You will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt | enables it to ensure its continuity by making the future like the |

| Tx:20.70 | that makes it yours is ready to be given. You have the vision which | enables each one to see the body not. And as you look upon each |
| Tx:21.25 | effect appear to be a cause. This seeming independence of effect | enables it to be regarded as standing by itself and capable of |

| Tx:14.74 | faith in His Creator, and He knows that faith in His Creator must | encompass faith in His creation. In this consistency lies His |
| Tx:15.18 | that you have, you have forever. The blessed instant reaches out to | encompass time, as God extends Himself to encompass you. You who have |

| Tx:18.59 | of yourself and something else in which your mind enlarges to | encompass it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both |
| Tx:19.39 | all that you need to see. When the peace in you has been extended to | encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here will be |

| Tx:8.14 | It has no boundaries because its extension is unlimited, and it | encompasses all things because it created all things. By creating all |
| Tx:8.38 | God's Oneness and ours are not separate, because His Oneness | encompasses ours. To join with me is to restore His power to you, |
| Tx:10.51 | God is as dependent on you as you are on Him because His autonomy | encompasses yours and is therefore incomplete without it. You can |
| Tx:11.30 | tolerate. A split mind is endangered, and the recognition that it | encompasses completely opposed thoughts within itself is intolerable. |

| Tx:8.19 | When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy | encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, |
| Tx:8.22 | else, you had thought that he was someone else. And every holy | encounter in which you enter fully will teach you this is not so. |
| Tx:8.23 | You can | encounter only part of yourself, because you are part of God, Who is |
| Tx:12.29 | Would you recognize a holy | encounter if you are merely perceiving it as a meeting with your own |
| Tx:12.29 | are meeting no one, and the sharing of salvation, which makes the | encounter holy, is excluded from your sight. The Holy Spirit teaches |
| Tx:12.29 | sight. The Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the | encounter is holy because you are. The ego teaches that you always |
| Tx:12.29 | encounter is holy because you are. The ego teaches that you always | encounter your past, and because your dreams were not holy, the |
| Tx:19.37 | yourselves to embrace all the Sonship and give it rest, it will | encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. Others |
| Tx:24.72 | and both appear to walk this earth without a meeting-place and no | encounter. One do you see outside yourself, your own beloved son. The |
| W1:44.5 | form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will | encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While you |
| W1:135.20 | present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful | encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal. |
| M:3.2 | students will become friends. Even at the level of the most casual | encounter, it is possible for two people to lose sight of separate |

| W1:152.12 | truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes practicing its ways, | encouraging our frightened minds with this: |
encroach (2) | ||
| Tx:13.53 | will merely attack direct approaches, which would seem but to | encroach upon deception and strike at it. |
| Tx:25.30 | as far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot | encroach, for sin has been corrected by His sight. And thus it must |
end (270) | ||
| Tx:1.15 | it constructively. Time is thus a teaching device and a means to an | end. It will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating |
| Tx:1.29 | that I do not need miracles for my own Atonement, but I stand at the | end in case you fail temporarily. The purpose of my part in the |
| Tx:1.40 | been abolished. Miracles are thus a means, and revelation is an | end. [In this sense, they work together.] Miracles do not depend on |
| Tx:2.41 | will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at time's | end. At this point, the bridge of the return has been built. |
| Tx:2.69 | The fear of healing arises, in the | end, from an unwillingness to accept the unequivocal fact that |
| Tx:3.3 | will be more traumatic than beatific. Healing is of God in the | end. The means are being carefully explained to you. Revelation may |

| Tx:4.37 | expression which is inherently contradictory, because validity is an | end and behavior is a means. These cannot be combined logically, |
| Tx:4.37 | is a means. These cannot be combined logically, because when an | end has been attained, the means for its attainment are no longer |
| Tx:4.66 | Son of God. The second coming of Christ means nothing more than the | end of the ego's rule over part of the minds of men and the healing |
| Tx:6.31 | the future if time and space are one dimension. Your perception will | end where it began. Everything meets in God, because everything was |
| Tx:6.49 | your minds, and because the ego realizes that its “enemy” can | end them both merely by knowing they are not part of him, they join |
| Tx:8.26 | its illusion. I have told you that I am with you always, even to the | end of the world. That is why I am the light of the world. If I am |
| Tx:8.71 | between means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the body as an | end, the ego has no real use for it because it is not an end. You |
| Tx:8.71 | body as an end, the ego has no real use for it because it is not an | end. You must have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end |
| Tx:8.71 | an end. You must have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every | end that the ego has accepted as its own. When you have achieved it, |
| Tx:8.71 | not satisfied you. This is why the ego is forced to shift from one | end to another without ceasing, so that you will continue to hope |
| Tx:8.72 | difficult to overcome the ego's belief in the body as an | end, because this is synonymous with the belief in attack as an end. |
| Tx:8.72 | an end, because this is synonymous with the belief in attack as an | end. The ego has a real investment in sickness. If you are sick, how |
| Tx:8.75 | true that the body has no function of itself, because it is not an | end. The ego, however, establishes it as an end because as such it |
| Tx:8.75 | because it is not an end. The ego, however, establishes it as an | end because as such it will lose its true function. This is the |
| Tx:10.6 | be separated from infinity, but how can this be if infinity has no | end? No one can be beyond the limitless because what has no limits |
| Tx:10.9 | without you, and you are meaningless without God. There is no | end to God and His Son, for we are the universe. God is not |
| Tx:10.11 | would know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit and without | end to learn how much He has given you. Your ability to accept Him |
| Tx:10.74 | simple course. Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the | end, teaches nothing more than that only reality is true is |
| Tx:10.75 | become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The | end of the world is not its destruction, but its translation into |
| Tx:11.18 | Learn to be quiet in the midst of turmoil, for quietness is the | end of strife and this is the journey to peace. Look straight at |
| Tx:11.34 | you will at last have placed its source, and where it began it must | end. For in this same place also lies salvation. The altar of God |
| Tx:11.37 | your identification, its guidance leads you to a journey which must | end in perceived self-defeat. For the ego cannot love, and in its |
| Tx:11.52 | unambiguous because the goal is not divided, and the means and the | end are in complete accord. You need offer only undivided attention. |
| Tx:11.74 | the ego's mind, for that is what it always reserves for you in the | end. Wanting to kill you as the final expression of its feeling for |
| Tx:11.74 | is not satisfied until you die. For your destruction is the one | end toward which it works, and the only end with which it will be |
| Tx:11.74 | your destruction is the one end toward which it works, and the only | end with which it will be satisfied. |
| Tx:11.86 | of the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its | end. The world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by |
| Tx:11.91 | direction. Time seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its | end, it will roll up like a long carpet which has spread along the |
| Tx:11.92 | the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the | end of time, where you must be because He is with you. He has always |
| Tx:12.26 | might well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past and in the | end believes that the past is the only aspect of time that is |
| Tx:12.65 | him in Himself where pain is not and love surrounds him without | end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can never be. In perfect sanity |
| Tx:12.71 | light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey's | end which is His goal. God's Son is not a traveler through outer |
| Tx:13.5 | one. Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the | end of time by bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness |
| Tx:13.25 | you will not look within, where you would always find Atonement. The | end of guilt will never come as long as you believe there is a reason |
| Tx:13.35 | real. Believing this, he must escape, for such a war would surely | end his peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but realize |
| Tx:13.56 | is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the | end the only one. Simplicity is very difficult for twisted minds. |
| Tx:13.89 | You will feel guilty till you learn this. For in the | end, whatever form it takes, your guilt arises from your failure to |
| Tx:14.11 | will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no | end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe |
| Tx:15.2 | uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal and | end of teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But |
| Tx:15.2 | goal and end of teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its | end. But to the Holy Spirit the goal is life, which has no end. |
| Tx:15.2 | is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the goal is life, which has no | end. |
| Tx:15.4 | its goal, for although the ego aims at death and dissolution as an | end, it does not believe it. The goal of death, which it craves for |
| Tx:15.4 | without the fear of death. Yet if death were thought of merely as an | end to pain, would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in |
| Tx:15.5 | 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 itself cannot |
| Tx:15.7 | considers himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment will | end in peace. |
| Tx:16.27 | and love Him as His Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no | end, and there is nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All |
| Tx:17.12 | will 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. |
| Tx:18.63 | its comfort or protection or enjoyment in some way? This makes it an | end and not a means in your interpretation, and this always means you |
| Tx:18.83 | You have reached the | end of an ancient journey, not realizing yet that it is over. You are |
| Tx:18.94 | Yet even forgiveness is not the | end. Forgiveness does make lovely, but it does not create. It is the |
| Tx:18.95 | before Him Who is complete where He begins and where there is no | end. It is not for us to dwell on what cannot be attained. There is |
| Tx:19.45 | a little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey's | end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions |
| Tx:19.45 | No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which illusions | end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the |
| Tx:19.45 | from the light in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the | end of an illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the |
| Tx:19.45 | And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all illusions | end. |
| Tx:19.49 | look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the | end of guilt as surely as fear depends on it. [Love is attracted only |
| Tx:19.54 | dogs of fear you sent instead. And they go forth to signify the | end of fear. |
| Tx:19.64 | walk past barriers together when you have joined the limitless? The | end of guilt is in your hands to give. Would you stop now to look for |
| Tx:19.65 | Let me be to you the symbol of the | end of guilt, and look upon each other as you would look on me. |
| Tx:19.65 | you were with me. Would you see in me the symbol of guilt or of the | end of guilt, remembering that what I signify to you, you see within |
| Tx:19.66 | in Heaven. Send forth to all the world the joyous message of the | end of guilt, and all the world will answer. Think of your happiness |
| Tx:19.66 | Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the | end of sin and shows you that its power is gone forever. Where can |
| Tx:19.69 | peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an | end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The |
| Tx:19.84 | 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 obstacle of your |
| Tx:19.84 | to death is not the end of conflict. Only God's Answer is its | end. The obstacle of your seeming love for death that peace must flow |
| Tx:19.84 | all its sick ideas and weird imaginings. Here is the final | end of union, the triumph of the ego's making over creation, the |
| Tx:19.86 | will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The | end of sin, which nestles quietly in the safety of your relationship, |
| Tx:19.86 | protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and within it lies the | end of death. |
| Tx:19.90 | the Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your world does | end. |
| Tx:19.99 | you realize its purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's | end before you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose |
| Tx:20.4 | [Easter is not the celebration of the cost of sin but of its | end.] If you see glimpses of the face of Christ behind the veil |
| Tx:20.24 | would have it be unholy. Give it no power to adjust the means and | end. |
| Tx:20.37 | of God's Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the | end of time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty |
| Tx:20.38 | Each herald of eternity sings of the | end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. |
| Tx:20.41 | relationship. And while you look upon each other thus, the means and | end have not been brought in line. Why should it take so many holy |
| Tx:20.42 | Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with means and | end in perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you |
| Tx:20.58 | We have said much about discrepancies of means and | end and how these must be brought in line before your holy |
| Tx:20.58 | than others are merely indications of areas where means and | end are still discrepant. And this produces great discomfort. This |
| Tx:20.62 | Because of this consistency, the means remain unquestioned while the | end is cherished. Vision adapts to wish, for sight is always |
| Tx:20.64 | in their purpose. Both are but means, each one appropriate to the | end for which it is employed. Neither can serve the purpose of the |
| Tx:20.64 | purpose, employed on its behalf. Either is meaningless without the | end for which it was intended, nor is it valued as a separate thing |
| Tx:20.68 | its holy purpose was not made by you, the means by which its happy | end is yours is also not of you. Rejoice in what is yours but for the |
| Tx:20.68 | but for the asking and think not that you need make either means or | end. All this is given you who would but see your brother sinless. |
| Tx:20.72 | to the laws brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The | end for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His |
| Tx:21.56 | has no place at all in madness, nor can it be adjusted to fit its | end. Faith and belief are strong in madness, guiding perception |
| Tx:22.4 | the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never | end. |
| Tx:22.7 | you through a world of misery, waiting to tell you at the journey's | end why He did this to you. |
| Tx:22.51 | you value? Which is your goal? For one you see as means; the other, | end. And one must serve the other and lead to its predominance, |
| Tx:22.51 | increasing its importance by diminishing its own. Means serve the | end, and as the end is reached, the value of the means decreases, |
| Tx:22.51 | importance by diminishing its own. Means serve the end, and as the | end is reached, the value of the means decreases, eclipsed entirely |
| Tx:22.53 | disturbed at all to think how He can change the role of means and | end so easily in what God loves and would have free forever. But be |
| Tx:22.53 | But be you rather grateful that you can be the means to serve His | end. This is the only service which leads to freedom. To serve this |
| Tx:22.53 | end. This is the only service which leads to freedom. To serve this | end, the body must be perceived as sinless because the goal is |
| Tx:22.53 | The lack of contradiction makes the soft transition from means to | end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude before forgiving |
| Tx:23.10 | Brothers, the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's | end is at the place of peace. Would you not now accept the peace |
| Tx:23.31 | brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor will God | end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have this |
| Tx:23.39 | lies in each one. And where your thinking starts, there must it | end. |
| Tx:24.6 | by comparison with it. And thus does specialness become a means and | end at once. For specialness not only sets apart but serves as |
| Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is the | end of specialness. Only illusions can be forgiven, and then they |
| Tx:24.55 | in countless situations and through time which seems to have no | end until the truth be your decision. For eternity is not regained by |
| Tx:24.56 | cause delay, which it is given you to take from him that both may | end a journey that has never been begun and needs no end. What never |
| Tx:24.56 | that both may end a journey that has never been begun and needs no | end. What never was is not a part of you. Yet you will think it is |
| Tx:24.67 | Here you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as well as | End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the |
| Tx:24.67 | along with it. God is a Means as well as End. In Heaven, means and | end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of true creation, |
| Tx:24.68 | held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. Here do the means and | end unite as one, nor does this one have any end at all. All this is |
| Tx:24.68 | Here do the means and end unite as one, nor does this one have any | end at all. All this is true, and yet it has no meaning to anyone who |
| Tx:25.6 | is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and | end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life |
| Tx:25.26 | need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's | end. And thus has God protected still His Son, even in error. There |
| Tx:25.83 | is there who can be separate from salvation if its purpose is the | end of specialness? Where is salvation's justice if some errors are |
| Tx:26.20 | This is the journey's | end. We have referred to it as the “real world.” And yet there is a |
| Tx:26.31 | Nothing is ever lost but time, which in the | end is [nothing. It] is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite |
| Tx:27.8 | the price for all of them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The | end of life must come, whatever way that life be spent. And so take |
| Tx:27.9 | belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will | end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were true, |
| Tx:27.23 | a single function, that would mean a shared identity with but one | end. |
| Tx:28.16 | father who creates as God created him. The circle of creation has no | end. Its starting and its ending are the same. But in itself it holds |
| Tx:28.16 | holds the universe of all creation, without beginning and without an | end. |
| Tx:28.31 | The | end of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the world |
| Tx:28.31 | The end of dreaming is the | end of fear, and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is |
| Tx:28.36 | years enter not, for time waits not upon this feast, which has no | end. For Love has set Its table in the space that seemed to keep your |
| Tx:29.38 | in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the | end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin, and |
| Tx:29.39 | the universe that must be one. What seems eternal all will have an | end. The stars will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All |
| Tx:29.39 | with time and bloom and fade will not return. Where time has set an | end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can never change by what |
| Tx:29.41 | God established for His Son in full awareness. Time can set no | end to its fulfillment nor its changelessness. There is no death |
| Tx:29.41 | be life's extension, that it be as one forever and forever without | end. |
| Tx:29.50 | Save time, my brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the | end of idols in a world made sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your |
| Tx:30.48 | the mind of Father and Son joined in creation which can have no | end. You have not two realities, but one. Nor can you be aware of |
| Tx:30.86 | belongs to everything as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the | end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different purpose |
| Tx:31.34 | by all the different names its roads are given. They have but one | end. And each is but the means to gain that end, for it is here that |
| Tx:31.34 | given. They have but one end. And each is but the means to gain that | end, for it is here that all its roads will lead, however differently |
| Tx:31.34 | they seem to start, however differently they seem to go. Their | end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them will |
| Tx:31.35 | There is no choice where every | end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you |
| Tx:31.81 | despair, of failing dreams and no remaining hope except to die and | end the dream of fear. This is temptation, nothing more than this. |
| Tx:31.95 | with every choice they make. For we are one in purpose, and the | end of hell is near. |
| W1:8.8 | and so on, concluding at the | end of the mind-searching period with: |
| W1:12.6 | of these exercises, there is no difference between them. At the | end of the practice period, add: |
| W1:22.5 | At the | end of each practice period, ask yourself: |
| W1:26.12 | find some of them, especially those which occur to you toward the | end, less acceptable to you. Try, however, to treat them all alike to |
| W1:37.1 | anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the | end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is |
| W1:38.2 | Your holiness, then, can remove all pain, can | end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. It can do so in |
| W1:39.4 | asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the | end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the |
| W1:39.4 | the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and therefore the | end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world and your |
| W1:39.12 | End each practice period by repeating the idea in its original form | |
| W1:41.2 | The idea for today has the power to | end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, despite the |
| W1:46.12 | The practice period should | end, however, with a repetition of today's idea as originally stated. |
| W1:R1.2 | appeals to 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. |
| W1:61.8 | Be sure both to begin and | end the day with a practice period. Thus you will awaken with an |
| W1:62.4 | Let us be glad to begin and | end this day by practicing today's idea and to use it as frequently |
| W1:68.9 | however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At the | end of the practice period tell yourself: |
| W1:69.3 | function to fulfill. Learning salvation is our only goal. Let us | end the ancient search today by finding the light in us and holding |
| W1:72.10 | ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to | end the attack on God's plan for salvation and to accept it instead. |
| W1:73.9 | 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 Heaven that |
| W1:75.10 | that has been promised you since time began, and in which is the | end of time ensured. |
| W1:79.3 | one is settled the next one and the next arise. There seems to be no | end to them. There is no time in which you feel completely free of |
| W1:97.4 | these ideas becomes a time which has no length and which has no | end. Give, then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who |
| W1:106.4 | His miracles are true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They | end the dream instead and last forever, for they come from God to His |
| W1:107.2 | picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the | end of time and to eternity. |
| W1:109.2 | to that same truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the | end of suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet |
| W1:121.1 | quietness and peace. Here are all questions answered; here the | end of all uncertainty ensured at last. |
| W1:122.10 | do we gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the | end of hell is guaranteed. Begin in hopefulness, for we have reached |
| W1:128.2 | but a chain that binds you to the world, and it will serve no other | end but this. For everything must serve the purpose you have given it |
| W1:129.2 | found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all things | end. |
| W1:131.5 | really want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the | end. God's Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, |
| W1:132.13 | What He creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the Father | end, the Son begin as something separate from Him. |
| W1:138.7 | hell is real, hope changes to despair, and life itself must in the | end be overcome by death. In death alone are opposites resolved, for |
| W1:138.7 | death, for life is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to | end your life as well. |
| W1:139.1 | Here is the | end of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as |
| W1:140.2 | it was before. He has not seen the light that would awaken him and | end the dream. What difference does the content of a dream make in |
| W1:140.10 | hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all illusions | end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God. |
| W1:140.11 | Him 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 |
| W1:155.7 | All roads will lead to this one in the | end. For sacrifice and deprivation are paths which lead nowhere, |
| W1:156.6 | in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the | end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is |
| W1:157.7 | the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the | end of time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer |
| W1:158.4 | does not change. The script is written. When experience will come to | end your doubting has been set. For we but see the journey from the |
| W1:165.6 | Now is all doubting past, the journey's | end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is Christ's power in |
| W1:169.11 | final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will | end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the |
| W1:R5.14 | With this we start each day of our review. With this we start and | end each period of practice time. And with this thought we sleep, to |
| W1:R5.15 | the words but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the | end of practice periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its |
| W1:182.12 | you have made. And now the way is open, and the journey has an | end in sight at last. Be still a moment and go home with Him, and be |
| W1:190.8 | joys give way before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits to | end all joy in misery. |
| W1:191.12 | again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it will | end in the reflection of his holiness. And we will sleep no more and |
| W1:193.7 | because the lesson is so simple that it cannot be rejected in the | end. No one can hide forever from a truth so very obvious that it |
| W1:193.9 | and guilt, abandoned, is revered no more. These are the words which | end the dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by |
| W1:197.7 | And with the | end of this belief is fear forever over. Thank your Self for this, |
| W1:197.7 | Their will is one. Their gratitude to all They have created has no | end, for gratitude remains a part of love. |
| W1:198.3 | this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where illusions | end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a dream of |
| W1:198.3 | a thousand fold. But this is where illusions end. Forgiveness is the | end of dreams because it is a dream of waking. It is not itself the |
| W1:198.9 | your mind that you may find the key to light and let the darkness | end: |
| W1:198.15 | Today we come still nearer to the | end of everything that yet would stand between this vision and our |
| W1:R6.3 | review, are centered round a central theme with which we start and | end each lesson. It is this: |
| W1:205.1 | The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the | end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life while I abide |
| W2:I.1 | Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and find the | end toward which our practicing was geared. |
| W2:I.6 | not backward now. We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's | end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's |
| W2:I.10 | and let all things be healed. We will accept the way God's plan will | end, as we received the way it started. Now it is complete. This year |
| W2:224.1 | or received. This is reality, and only this. This is illusion's | end. It is the Truth. |
| W2:225.2 | oneness that we seek as we accomplish these few final steps which | end a journey that was not begun. |
| W2:WS.1 | at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an | end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as |
| W2:WS.1 | have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will | end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it has |
| W2:232.2 | This is as every day should be. Today practice the | end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father. Trust all things |
| W2:249.1 | and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an | end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? |
| W2:WIS.3 | is real. Sin “proves” God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an | end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He |
| W2:251.1 | I need only truth. In that, all needs are satisfied, all cravings | end, all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone. Now have I |
| W2:WIC.4 | He will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the | end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace |
| W2:279.1 | The | end of dreams is promised me because God's Son is not abandoned by |
| W2:WIHS.1 | before, forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil | end. |
| W2:WIHS.2 | The goal the Holy Spirit's teaching sets is just this | end of dreams. For sights and sounds must be translated from the |
| W2:WIHS.4 | the memory of all your Father's Love will not return to signify the | end of dreams has come. |
| W2:286.2 | far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the | end which God Himself has promised us. We trust in Him and in our |
| W2:287.2 | to walk? And what except the memory of You could signify to me the | end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? You are my only |
| W2:289.2 | world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the | end of guilt. And here am I made ready for Your final step. Shall I |
| W2:289.2 | longer for Your Son to find the loveliness You planned to be the | end of all his dreams and all his pain? |
| W2:WIRW.4 | certain promise that he is redeemed. The real world signifies the | end of time, for its perception makes time purposeless. |
| W2:292.1 | His. And while we think this will is real, we will not find the | end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all |
| W2:292.2 | thank You, Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the | end. Help us not interfere and so delay the happy endings You have |
| W2:298.1 | on my holy sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the | end of senseless journeys, mad careers, and artificial values. I |
| W2:WISC.2 | advent, which encompasses all living things with you. There is no | end to the release the Second Coming brings, as God's creation must |
| W2:302.2 | and walks beside us, showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the | end we seek, and He the means by which we come to Him. |
| W2:317.2 | it would have me do, I choose to do. Your way is certain and the | end secure. The memory of You awaits me there, and all my sorrows end |
| W2:317.2 | end secure. The memory of You awaits me there, and all my sorrows | end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought |
| W2:318.1 | I am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and | end as well. |
| W2:326.1 | as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the | end I know that You will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven |
| W2:WIE.1 | limited and separated 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 |
| W2:333.2 | doubt and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can | end our evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this |
| W2:342.1 | key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which lies the | end of dreams. I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I |
| W2:343.1 | The | end of suffering cannot be loss. The gift of everything can but be |
| W2:353.1 | joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed | end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself |
| W2:FL.2 | God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the | end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of |
| W2:FL.5 | We will not | end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. |
| W2:E.1 | This course is a beginning, not an | end. Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls |
| W2:E.4 | as confident as He is of the goal and of your safe arrival in the | end. |
| W2:E.5 | The | end is certain and the means as well. To this we say “Amen.” We will |
| M:1.2 | answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the | end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It is because of this |
| M:1.2 | it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the | end can be a long, long way off. It is because of this that the plan |

| M:11.2 | there is no death; your judgment sees but death as the inevitable | end of life. God's Word assures you that He loves the world; your |
| M:13.5 | each time believing it is there and each time disappointed in the | end. “Seek but do not find,” remains this world's stern decree, and |
| M:14.1 | Can what has no beginning really | end? The world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its |
| M:14.1 | Can what has no beginning really end? The world will | end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an illusion |
| M:14.2 | turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The world will | end when all things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. |
| M:14.2 | in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. The world will | end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one thought of |
| M:14.4 | The world will | end when its thought system has been completely reversed. Until then, |
| M:14.5 | The world will | end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the |
| M:14.5 | When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will | end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come, what |
| M:14.5 | peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will | end in laughter because it is a place of tears. Where there is |
| M:14.5 | all this to bless the world. In blessing it departs, for it will not | end as it began. To turn hell into Heaven is the function of God's |
| M:15.3 | beyond belief to certainty. One instant out of time can bring time's | end. Judge not, for you but judge yourself and thus delay this Final |
| M:15.4 | guaranteed that His judgment, and His alone, will be accepted in the | end. It is your function to make that end be soon. It is your |
| M:15.4 | alone, will be accepted in the end. It is your function to make that | end be soon. It is your function to hold it to your heart and offer |
| M:20.5 | you 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 |
| M:20.5 | you will understand that everything which God created cannot have an | end, and nothing He did not create is real. In this one sentence is |
| M:22.2 | has learned all that his acceptance holds out to him. It is only the | end that is certain. Anywhere along the way, the necessary |
| M:24.5 | however, is that birth was not the beginning and death is not the | end. Yet even this much is not required of the beginner. He need |
| M:27.1 | of life as being born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the | end? We have asked this question before, but now we need to consider |
| M:27.6 | Without the idea of death, there is no world. All dreams will | end with this one. This is salvation's final goal, the end of all |
| M:27.6 | dreams will end with this one. This is salvation's final goal, the | end of all illusions. And in death are all illusions born. What can |
| M:27.7 | nor wavers nor sinks down to death and dissolution. And what is the | end of death? Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of God |
| M:28.1 | purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is the | end of dreams of misery and the glad awareness of the Holy Spirit's |
| M:28.4 | There is no death. The Son of God is free. And in his freedom is the | end of fear. No hidden places now remain on earth to shelter sick |
| M:29.8 | His Voice is heard around the world to close all things of time, to | end the sight of all things visible, and to undo all things that |

| W1:158.4 | has been set. For we but see the journey from the point at which it | ended, looking back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing |
| W1:169.7 | all minds that each one might determine from a point where time has | ended when it is released to revelation and eternity. |

| W1:135.16 | overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught | enough to let the mind direct its future course. |

| M:1.1 | has entered the darkness. It may be a single light, but that is | enough. He has entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet |
| M:3.2 | of separate interests, if only for a moment. That moment will be | enough. Salvation has come. |
| M:4.24 | single aim at which all learning ultimately converges. It is indeed | enough. |
| M:12.4 | really is; the only use there really is for it. This lesson is | enough to let the thought of unity come in, and what is one is |
| M:16.8 | that magic is a sorry substitute for true assistance. It is not good | enough for God's teacher, because it is not enough for God's Son. |
| M:16.8 | It is not good enough for God's teacher, because it is not | enough for God's Son. |
| M:21.3 | The sleeping Son of God has but this power left to him. It is | enough. His words do not matter. Only the Word of God has any |
| M:21.3 | alone understands what this Word stands for. And this, too, is | enough. |
| M:24.3 | to anyone, regardless of his formal beliefs. His ego will be | enough for him to cope with, and it is not part of wisdom to add |

| Tx:31.29 | body thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor | enslave. It gives no orders that the mind need serve nor sets |

| Tx:29.53 | value which you do not have. No one believes in idols who has not | enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek beyond |
| W1:132.4 | You have | enslaved the world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, |
| W1:199.7 | and carry freedom as your gift to those who still believe they are | enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make |

| Tx:8.109 | The very fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for anything will | ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain that no response given |
| Tx:11.96 | Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and future in your minds to | ensure the ego's continuity. For if what has been will be punished, |
| Tx:12.26 | You will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to | ensure its continuity by making the future like the past and thus |
| Tx:12.32 | you will lose sight of the present and hold on to the past to | ensure a destructive future. And time will be as you interpret it, |
| Tx:12.71 | at all upon them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will | ensure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept |
| Tx:15.71 | him. For it is only by attack without forgiveness that the ego can | ensure the guilt which holds all its relationships together. |
| Tx:15.82 | Think but an instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to | ensure your perfect creation. This was His gift, for as He withheld |
| Tx:26.9 | rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special function to | ensure the door be opened that he may come forth to shine on you and |

| W1:70.5 | Your purpose was to | ensure that healing did not occur; God's purpose was to ensure that |
| W1:70.5 | was to ensure that healing did not occur; God's purpose was to | ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that God's Will and |
| W1:187.11 | We would not have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to | ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For |
| W1:193.13 | nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred Son in any way. He would | ensure his holy rest remain untroubled and serene, without a care in |

| Tx:31.48 | Here is the central lesson that | ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now |
| W1:71.4 | of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. This | ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion |

| Tx:2.109 | will cannot but continue. The first step toward freedom must | entail a sorting out of the false from the true. This is a process of |
| Tx:16.52 | it? Let us not think of its fearful nature nor of the guilt it must | entail nor of the sadness and the loneliness. For these are only |
| Tx:25.68 | and cannot avoid the vengeance that their own belief in justice must | entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of |
| Tx:25.78 | sin? You cannot answer this until you see all that the answer must | entail. For if you answer “yes,” it means you will forgo all values |
| Tx:27.1 | alone. For sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it would | entail the whole of God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice |
| Tx:27.16 | warrant guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because they would | entail effects which cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In |
| W1:26.3 | the thought that you always attack yourself. If attack thoughts must | entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken |
| W1:139.1 | question but reflects this one. There is no conflict that does not | entail the single simple question, “What am I?” |
entailed (2) | ||
| Tx:27.42 | in which the mind is still enough to hear an answer which is not | entailed within the question asked. It offers something new and |
| W1:8.2 | think about illusions. Very few minds have realized what is actually | entailed in picturing the past or in anticipating the future. The |
entails (28) | ||
| Tx:1.23 | A. The recognition that darkness cannot hide. This step usually | entails fear. |
| Tx:1.82 | shift from horizontal to vertical perception which the miracle | entails introduces an interval from which the doer and the receiver |
| Tx:2.6 | If you consider carefully what this | entails, the following will become quite apparent: |
| Tx:2.53 | is the result of level confusion in the sense that it always | entails the belief that what is amiss in one level can adversely |
| Tx:2.67 | away from the belief in physical sight. The reason this so often | entails fear is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye will |
| Tx:2.78 | entirely willing to do so. This produces consistent behavior but | entails great strain within the self. |
| Tx:2.94 | unguarded, or they will not be able to help me. Miracle working | entails a full realization of the power of thought and real avoidance |
| Tx:2.97 | and “Effect,” which should also be capitalized, is His Son. This | entails a set of Cause and Effect relationships which are totally |
| Tx:3.8 | cannot be understood. Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it | entails correction. Without this it is essentially judgmental rather |
| Tx:4.81 | value of right perception lies in the inevitable judgment which it | entails that it is unnecessary. This removes the block entirely. You |
| Tx:6.87 | the first step seems to increase conflict and the second step still | entails it to some extent, this one calls for consistent effort |
| Tx:6.95 | The third step, then, is a statement of what you want to believe and | entails a willingness to relinquish everything else. I told you that |
| Tx:13.64 | learner learns so easily because his thoughts are free. Yet this | entails the recognition that guilt is interference, not salvation, |
| Tx:15.85 | instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift | entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent. Given this |
| Tx:17.76 | and far greater than you realize. But to answer truth with faith | entails no strain at all. |
| Tx:18.1 | is to accept instead. If you would but consider exactly what this | entails, you would perceive at once how much at variance this is with |
| Tx:18.59 | If you will consider what this “transportation” really | entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body |
| Tx:19.18 | Sin is not an error, for sin | entails an arrogance which the idea of error lacks. To sin would be |
| Tx:23.41 | still. For no one thinks of murder and escapes the guilt the thought | entails. If the intent is death, what matter the form it takes? |
| Tx:30.87 | can understand, the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All sacrifice | entails the loss of your ability to see relationships among events. |
| Tx:30.90 | they are appearances and cannot have the changelessness reality | entails. The miracle attests salvation from appearances by showing |
| W1:65.1 | The full acceptance of salvation as your only function necessarily | entails two phases: the recognition of salvation as your function and |
| W1:70.3 | be clear to you why the recognition that guilt is in your own mind | entails the realization that salvation is there as well. |
| W1:105.2 | The truly given gift | entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another |
| W1:134.1 | for it is apt to be distorted and to be perceived as something which | entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath, a gift unjustified |
| W1:154.3 | it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it | entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. |
| W2:WIE.4 | its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it | entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so immense that |
| M:13.3 | But what a sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed—all this | entails! Now has the mind condemned itself to seek without finding, |
entente (1) | ||
| Tx:29.3 | became the treaty you had made with him. You shared a qualified | entente in which a clause of separation was a point on which you both |
enter (153) | ||
| Tx:1.26 | have become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to | enter into communion but will also understand peace and joy. Your |
| Tx:4.8 | You believe that if you allow no change to | enter into your ego, your Soul will find peace. This profound |
| Tx:4.18 | His home will stand forever and is ready for you when you choose to | enter it. Of this you can be wholly certain. God is as incapable of |
| Tx:4.50 | Love will | enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but it must |
| Tx:4.50 | that your belief in darkness and in hiding is why the light cannot | enter. The Bible gives many references to the immeasurable gifts |
| Tx:4.53 | taken the first step toward preparing your mind for the Holy One to | enter. We will prepare for this together, for once He has come, you |
| Tx:5.21 | 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 Spirit is the |
| Tx:5.63 | the ego in it, the fact that you have accepted it or allowed it to | enter makes it your reality. This is because the mind, as God created |
| Tx:6.22 | I emphasize this only because I do not want you to allow any fear to | enter into the thought system toward which I am guiding you. I do not |
| Tx:6.82 | the false and teaches you to judge every thought that you allow to | enter your mind in the light of what God put there. Whatever is in |
| Tx:6.92 | vigilant to hold its oneness in your minds because, if you let doubt | enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to |
| Tx:6.93 | are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about being must not | enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with certainty. |
| Tx:7.67 | Allowing insanity to | enter your minds means that you have not judged sanity as wholly |
| Tx:8.22 | that he was someone else. And every holy encounter in which you | enter fully will teach you this is not so. |
| Tx:9.14 | keeping it unreal for you. Do not let any belief in its realness | enter your minds at all, or you will also believe that you must undo |
| Tx:10.20 | mind so that He becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to | enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you have allied |
| Tx:10.21 | knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it | enter. The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how to do this if |
| Tx:10.28 | them. Do not be deceived by the dark comforters, and never let them | enter the Mind of God's Son, for they have no place in His temple. |
| Tx:10.29 | to give you the peace that is yours. Give His peace that you may | enter the temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the |
| Tx:10.29 | you will not know that you are there. For what is unlike God cannot | enter His Mind because it was not His Thought and therefore does not |
| Tx:10.29 | temple, for He Himself dwells there and abides in peace. You cannot | enter God's Presence with the dark companions beside you, but you |
| Tx:10.29 | Presence with the dark companions beside you, but you also cannot | enter alone. |
| Tx:10.30 | All your brothers must | enter with you, for until you have accepted them, you cannot enter. |
| Tx:10.30 | must enter with you, for until you have accepted them, you cannot | enter. For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and |
| Tx:10.35 | and as strong an ego defense as blaming others. You cannot | enter God's Presence if you attack His Son. When His Son lifts his |
| Tx:10.36 | otherwise you will believe that the door is barred and you cannot | enter. The door is not barred, and it is impossible for you to be |
| Tx:10.36 | The door is not barred, and it is impossible for you to be unable to | enter the place where God would have you be. But love yourself with |
| Tx:10.36 | love of Christ, for so does your Father love you. You can refuse to | enter, but you cannot bar the door which Christ holds open. Come unto |
| Tx:11.43 | because they see no need to do so. Before the idea of attack can | enter your mind, you must have perceived yourself as weak. Because |
| Tx:12.15 | made. You are more afraid of God than of the ego, and love cannot | enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it enters of its |
| Tx:12.19 | completely. Healing must be as complete as fear, for love cannot | enter where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome. |
| Tx:12.63 | in the quiet present and waits for you to leave the past behind and | enter into the world He holds out to you in love. |
| Tx:13.30 | You cannot | enter into real relationships with any of God's Sons unless you love |
| Tx:13.34 | praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will surely | enter in our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith |
| Tx:13.70 | to darkness because he did not choose to free his brother and | enter light with him. By giving power to nothing, he threw away the |
| Tx:14.28 | will go because the other is seen in the same place. Light cannot | enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will not let it |
| Tx:14.30 | you have locked away from Him. Open every door to Him and bid Him | enter the darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters |
| Tx:14.46 | For the reflection of truth draws everyone to truth, and as they | enter into it, they leave all reflections behind. |
| Tx:15.46 | attempting to use separation to save you. How, then, could guilt not | enter? For separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for |
| Tx:15.66 | It is impossible for the ego to | enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego believes that |
| Tx:15.109 | God offers thanks to the holy host who would receive Him and let Him | enter and abide where He would be. And by your welcome does He |
| Tx:15.109 | with Him, being host to Him Who created them. And by allowing Him to | enter, the remembrance of the Father enters with Him, and with Him |
| Tx:16.1 | that healing pain is not accomplished by delusional attempts to | enter into it and lighten it by sharing the delusion. |
| Tx:16.9 | Leave Him His function, for He will fulfill it if you but ask Him to | enter your relationships and bless them for you. |
| Tx:16.32 | is acceptable only as long as he serves this purpose. Hatred can | enter and indeed is welcome in some aspects of the relationship, but |
| Tx:16.43 | a great amount of pain. Anxiety, despair, guilt, and attack all | enter into it, broken into by periods in which they seem to be gone. |
| Tx:16.62 | in. If one such union were made in perfect faith, the universe would | enter into it. Yet the special relationship which the ego seeks does |
| Tx:16.66 | knows what you are. You have allowed the Thought of your reality to | enter your minds, and because you invited it, it will abide with you. |
| Tx:16.66 | love for it will not allow you to betray yourself, and you could not | enter into a relationship where it could not go with you, for you |
| Tx:16.69 | thoughts wander to a special relationship which still attracts you, | enter with Him into a holy instant and there let Him release you. He |
| Tx:16.70 | past disappointments, perceived injustices, and deprivations all | enter into the special relationship, which becomes a way in which you |
| Tx:16.81 | with You in which there are no illusions and where none can ever | enter. Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs |
| Tx:17.15 | could hear them. They offer you the “reasons” why you should | enter into unholy alliances which support the ego's goals and make |
| Tx:17.16 | always speak for vengeance, and all relationships into which they | enter are totally insane. Without exception, these relationships have |
| Tx:17.17 | move toward further fragmentation and unreality. The shadow figures | enter more and more, and the one in whom they seem to be decreases in |
| Tx:17.18 | and to be questioned almost at once. Once it is formed, doubt must | enter in because its purpose is impossible. The only such |
| Tx:17.19 | thus becomes one in which the reality of the other does not | enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the less the other really |
| Tx:17.26 | My holy brothers, I would | enter into all your relationships and step between you and your |
| Tx:17.26 | in which such dreams are cherished have excluded me. Let me | enter in the Name of God and bring you peace that you may offer peace |
| Tx:17.45 | wastes no time in introducing the practical results of asking Him to | enter. At once His goal replaces yours. This is accomplished very |
| Tx:17.63 | the illusion of peace is not the condition in which the truth can | enter. |
| Tx:17.68 | else, and you are faithless. Use not your faithlessness. Let it | enter and look upon it calmly, but do not use it. Faithlessness is |
| Tx:17.72 | Enter each situation with the faith that you give to each other, or | |
| Tx:17.72 | goal He placed there was extended to every situation in which you | enter or will ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of |
| Tx:17.72 | was extended to every situation in which you enter or will ever | enter. And every situation was thus made free of the past, which |
| Tx:17.75 | Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it | enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need |
| Tx:18.9 | a perfect love. Here is holy ground in which no substitution can | enter and where only the truth about each other can abide. Here you |
| Tx:18.24 | deeper. Your goal was darkness in which no ray of light could | enter. And you sought a blackness so complete that you could hide |
| Tx:18.33 | not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness, whatever else may | enter. Concentrate only on this and be not disturbed that shadows |
| Tx:18.34 | His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you believe He cannot | enter where He wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. |
| Tx:18.55 | of God that you have made. And neither God nor His most holy Son can | enter an abode which harbors hate and where you have sown the seeds |
| Tx:18.72 | the whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where God can | enter not. |
| Tx:18.78 | little! Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to | enter? Look at the desert, dry and unproductive, scorched and |
| Tx:18.79 | you welcome will bring love with him from Heaven for you. They | enter one by one into this holy place, but they will not depart as |
| Tx:18.80 | shining upon it. The holy instant is your invitation to love, to | enter into your bleak and joyless kingdom, and to transform it into a |
| Tx:19.15 | make of it. For faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to | enter and make lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. |
| Tx:19.38 | your relationship. Would you not now return His graciousness and | enter into a relationship with Him? For it is He Who offered your |
| Tx:19.71 | the body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to | enter and become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter |
| Tx:19.71 | fear to enter and become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must | enter with it, and whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore |
| Tx:19.87 | the wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What fear can | enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been given you, |
| Tx:20.25 | untouched and perfect, and with him beside you, you shall this day | enter with him to Paradise and know the peace of God. |
| Tx:20.29 | has no place in Heaven, where its results are alien and can no more | enter than can their source. And therein lies your need to see your |
| Tx:20.33 | of another world goes with them. Each holy relationship must | enter here to learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, |
| Tx:20.33 | And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which sin can | enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without fear, and where |
| Tx:20.33 | world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can | enter without fear, and where he rests a while to forget imprisonment |
| Tx:20.33 | a while to forget imprisonment and to remember freedom. How can he | enter, to rest and to remember, without you? Except you be there, he |
| Tx:20.34 | alone. For the whole new world rests in the hands of every two who | enter here to rest. And as they rest, the face of Christ shines on |
| Tx:20.47 | understand what they are offered, and any relationship in which they | enter has lost its meaning. They live in secrecy, hating the sunlight |
| Tx:20.49 | them here in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here love cannot | enter. The Holy Spirit does not build His temples where love can |

| W1:50.4 | a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts | enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom |

| W1:193.4 | the hate to love, so that the fear is gone. And now guilt cannot | enter, for its source has been excluded as the purpose of the lesson |
| W1:199.2 | and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot | enter such a mind because it has been given to the Source of Love. |
| W1:199.2 | because it has been given to the Source of Love. And fear can never | enter in a mind that has attached itself to Love. It rests in God, |

| W2:228.2 | realize the Source from Which I came. I have not left that Source to | enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I am |
| W2:WIW.2 | absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could | enter not and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was |
| W2:266.2 | This day we | enter into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our own, |
| W2:274.1 | Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will | enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your |

| W1:169.1 | is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world | entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace |
| W1:169.8 | must be here. Whatever time the mind has set for revelation is | entirely irrelevant to what must be a constant state, forever as it |

| 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 |
| W2:WIHS.2 | from the witnesses of fear to those of love. And when this is | entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal it has in |

| W2:336.1 | is restored after perception first is changed and then gives way | entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. For sights |
| W2:WIM.2 | the law of truth the world does not obey because it fails | entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which |
| M:2.2 | was established and completed simultaneously, for the Will of God is | entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The |
| M:4.5 | light? He is not yet at a point at which he can make the shift | entirely internally. And so the plan will sometimes call for changes |
| M:4.7 | engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of God escape this distress | entirely. There is, however, no point in sorting out the valuable |
| M:4.21 | all problems to one Answer is to reverse the thinking of the world | entirely. And that alone is faithfulness. Nothing but that really |

| M:20.2 | before. It brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing | entirely. There is a contrast, yes, between this thing and all the |

| Tx:6.13 | many. We are still equal as learners, even though we need not have | equal experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can learn enough |
| Tx:6.23 | as real. But because it is just as real now, its lesson, too, has | equal reality when it is learned.] I do not need gratitude any more |
| Tx:6.29 | inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives | equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement |
| Tx:6.57 | does know more than you do now, but He teaches only to make you | equal with Him. This is because you had already taught wrongly, |
| Tx:6.64 | believing it, because it is a belief in perfect equality. Only one | equal gift can be offered to the equal Sons of God, and that is full |
| Tx:6.64 | in perfect equality. Only one equal gift can be offered to the | equal Sons of God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and |
| Tx:7.28 | Because God's | equal Sons have everything, they cannot compete. Yet if they perceive |
| Tx:7.92 | the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations equally whole and | equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a totality which |
| Tx:8.32 | through the dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are | equal in will, all being the Will of their Father. This is the only |
| Tx:10.65 | Son is the work of the redemption, in which everyone has a part of | equal value. God does not judge His blameless Son. Having given |
| Tx:10.68 | no order of difficulty in miracles because all of God's Sons are of | equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The whole power of |
| Tx:11.43 | as weakened. No longer perceiving yourself and all your brothers as | equal and regarding yourself as weaker, you attempt to “equalize” the |
| Tx:13.6 | They are all the same; all beautiful and | equal in their holiness. And He will offer them unto His Father as |
| Tx:13.81 | How gracious is it to decide all things through Him Whose | equal love is given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one |
| Tx:14.27 | from the other, their separation seems to keep them both alive and | equal in their reality. Their joining thus becomes the source of |
| Tx:14.51 | the power of God in you. That is the reason why the miracle gives | equal blessing to all who share in it, and that is also why everyone |
| Tx:15.42 | to oppose it. For the holy instant is given and received with | equal willingness, being the acceptance of the single will that |
| Tx:18.46 | and so it must be that whatever threatens the peace of one is an | equal threat to the other. The power of joining and its blessing lie |
| Tx:19.6 | be healed, and not the mind. For this divided goal has given both an | equal reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to |
| Tx:19.14 | with its calm sight, which brings the miracle of healing with | equal ease to all of them. For what the messengers of love are sent |
| Tx:20.57 | and it has meaning. It is as like your real relationship with God as | equal things are like unto each other. Idolatry is past and |
| Tx:21.31 | him and placing it in his freedom instead. It is impossible to place | equal faith in opposite directions. What faith you give to sin you |
| Tx:21.49 | and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other things were | equal. They are not equal. For what you look for, you are far more |

| Tx:25.76 | to give another must be an injustice to them both, since they are | equal in the Holy Spirit's sight. Their Father gave the same |
| Tx:25.85 | Unless you think that all your brothers have an | equal right to miracles with you, you will not claim your right to |
| Tx:25.85 | not claim your right to them because you were unjust to one with | equal rights. Seek to deny, and you will feel denied. Seek to |
| Tx:26.51 | them no reality. Not one is true in any way, and all must yield with | equal ease to what God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. |
| Tx:27.19 | How just are miracles! For they bestow an | equal gift of full deliverance from guilt upon your brother and |
| Tx:29.25 | but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not true. Their | equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means |
| Tx:31.21 | Because he is your | equal in God's love, you will be saved from all appearances and |
| Tx:31.21 | about this Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all with | equal tenderness, seeing no leaders and no followers and hearing but |

| Tx:1.82 | In the longitudinal or horizontal plane, the recognition of the true | equality of all the members of the Sonship appears to involve almost |
| Tx:1.83 | of years. It does this by the underlying recognition of perfect | equality and holiness between the doer and the receiver on which the |

| Tx:5.2 | of the Sonship the healing is done. Every part benefits and benefits | equally. |
| Tx:5.91 | in miracles. He has not learned that every mind God created is | equally worthy of being healed because God created it whole. You are |
| Tx:6.1 | way responsible. Given these three wholly irrational premises, the | equally irrational conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack |
| Tx:7.47 | thinks he is giving something to them and is not receiving something | equally desirable in return. His teaching is limited, because he is |
| Tx:7.54 | entirely, it is not relinquished at all. Fear and love are | equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on whether the ego |
| Tx:7.92 | is therefore the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations | equally whole and equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against |
| Tx:7.101 | it may seem that this is necessary, it obviously is. The reason is | equally obvious. What is joyful to you is painful to the ego and, as |
| Tx:7.111 | as your brother is to accept your own inheritance. God gives only | equally. If you recognize His gift in anyone else, you have |
| Tx:8.33 | to Him, which He will share with all His creations, to whom He gives | equally whatever is acceptable to Him. Because it is acceptable to |
| Tx:8.109 | asked the Holy Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is | equally certain that no response given by the Holy Spirit will ever |
| Tx:9.20 | If he is a psychotherapist, he is more likely to start with the | equally incredible idea that he really believes in attack and so does |
| Tx:9.33 | and shares His glory with you. His Glory belongs to Him, but it is | equally yours. You cannot, then, be less glorious than He is. |

| Tx:10.59 | It is impossible not to believe what you see, but it is | equally impossible to see what you do not believe. Perceptions are |
| Tx:11.9 | you will gain an increasing awareness that His criteria are | equally applicable to you. For to recognize fear is not enough to |
| Tx:12.29 | perception of time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is | equally clear, for they perceive the goal of time as diametrically |
| Tx:13.30 | relationships with any of God's Sons unless you love them all and | equally. Love is not special. If you single out part of the Sonship |
| Tx:13.81 | is it to decide all things through Him Whose equal love is given | equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside yourself, alone |
| Tx:14.33 | stands to God without His Son. And nothing brought there that is not | equally worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts wholly |
| Tx:15.54 | God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs them all | equally, and so do you. In time you have been told to offer miracles |
| Tx:15.56 | at the expense of another and not suffer guilt. And it is | equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace |
| Tx:15.62 | you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God share | equally, and by this recognition you will join with me in offering |
| Tx:16.13 | and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one idea | equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one has |
| Tx:16.23 | to teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is | equally impossible that conviction be outside of you. You could never |
| Tx:18.10 | would never accept something else instead of you. He loves you both, | equally and as one. And as He loves you, so you are. You are not |
| Tx:18.46 | necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it | equally impossible that the holy instant come to either of you |
| Tx:19.75 | without which he would die, and yet within which is his death | equally inevitable. |

| Tx:23.21 | than others. If it were realized that they are all the same and | equally untrue, it would be easy, then, to understand that miracles |
| Tx:23.41 | do not always recognize the source of pain. Attack in any form is | equally destructive. Its purpose does not change. Its sole intent is |
| Tx:25.22 | what never has been separate nor apart from all God's love as given | equally. |
| Tx:25.55 | mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is | equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look |
| Tx:25.84 | What He cannot perceive He bears no witness to. And everyone is | equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To |
| Tx:25.87 | when it is offered to everyone alike. It is received and given | equally. It is awareness that giving and receiving are the same. |
| Tx:26.15 | and by your giving it can He ensure that everyone receives it | equally. |
| Tx:26.86 | as meaningless. And this denies the fact that all are senseless— | equally without a cause or consequence and cannot have effects of any |

| Tx:27.54 | all those who share in it within itself. Pleasure and pain are | equally unreal, because their purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are |

| Tx:1.95 | effective quite apart from either the degree or the direction of the | error. This is its true indiscriminateness. |
| Tx:1.96 | would hardly be useful if it were bound by the laws which govern the | error it aims to correct. Only man makes this kind of mistake. It is |

| Tx:2.34 | understood from this section is that you can defend truth as well as | error and, in fact, much better. |
| Tx:2.49 | The Spiritual eye literally cannot see | error and merely looks for Atonement. All the solutions which the |

| Tx:2.53 | at the level on which they occur. Only the mind is capable of | error. The body can act erroneously, but this is only because it is |

| Tx:3.22 | Those who represent the lamb as blood-stained, an all-too-widespread | error, do not understand the meaning of the symbol. Correctly |

| Tx:3.75 | or His creations as capable of destroying their own purpose is in | error. |
| Tx:4.4 | they are given up by an act of will. Do not make the pathetic human | error of “clinging to the old rugged cross.” The only message of the |
| Tx:4.39 | Confusing realms of discourse is a thinking | error which philosophers have recognized for centuries. Psychologists |
| Tx:5.49 | in terms of feelings, which led to a decision not to repeat the | error, which is only part of healing. Your concept lacked the idea of |
| Tx:5.94 | guilt. If you allow yourself to feel guilty, you will reinforce the | error rather than allow it to be undone for you. |
| Tx:5.95 | part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the | error was made and give it over to the Atonement in peace. Say to |
| Tx:6.45 | not regard itself as part of you. Herein lies its primary perceptual | error, the foundation of its whole thought system. |
| Tx:7.13 | “of one person” and not of others. “Interpersonal” has a similar | error in that it refers to something that exists among different or |
| Tx:8.84 | fear with love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of | error, for if He taught that one form of sickness is more serious |
| Tx:8.84 | sickness is more serious than another, He would be teaching that one | error can be more real than another. His function is to distinguish |
| Tx:9.2 | foolishly because he needs correction at another level, since his | error is at another level. He is still right, because he is a Son of |
| Tx:9.9 | is for you alone. To forgive is to overlook. Look, then, beyond | error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will |
| Tx:9.10 | errors, or you would not make them. It would merely be further | error to think either that you do not make them or that you can |
| Tx:9.12 | to which the ego always leads you. The ego's plan is to have you see | error clearly first and then overlook it. Yet how can you overlook |
| Tx:9.14 | Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond | error from the beginning and thus keeping it unreal for you. Do not |
| Tx:9.14 | has no effect does not exist, and to the Holy Spirit, the effects of | error are totally non-existent. By steadily and consistently |
| Tx:10.39 | to look beyond it since you have made it real. We will undo this | error quietly together and then look beyond it to truth. |
| Tx:10.54 | to be, the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's. The ego focuses on | error and overlooks truth. It makes real every mistake it perceives, |
| Tx:10.54 | inconsistency must be true if truth has meaning. Holding | error clearly in mind and protecting what it has made real, the ego |
| Tx:10.54 | real, the ego proceeds to the next step in its thought system—that | error is real, and truth is error. |
| Tx:10.54 | next step in its thought system—that error is real, and truth is | error. |
| Tx:11.1 | You have been told not to make | error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to |
| Tx:11.1 | and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to believe in | error, you would have to make it real because it is not true. But |
| Tx:11.1 | respond as if he had actually done so, because you have made his | error real to you. To interpret error is to give it power, and having |
| Tx:11.1 | done so, because you have made his error real to you. To interpret | error is to give it power, and having done this, you will overlook |
| Tx:11.13 | Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate | error into truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your |
| Tx:11.25 | You, then, are making the same mistake that he is and are making his | error real to both of you. Insistence means investment, and what you |
| Tx:11.84 | easily translated into knowledge, for only perception is capable of | error, and perception has never been. Being corrected, it gives place |
| Tx:12.45 | can rise to meet your sight, for all reality leaves no room for any | error. This means that you perceive a brother only as you see him |
| Tx:13.80 | are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light, | error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so |
| Tx:14.39 | Bringing the ego to God is but to bring | error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite |
| Tx:14.45 | The response of holiness to any form of | error is always the same. There is no contradiction in what holiness |
| Tx:17.66 | solve anything. And it is their intrusion on the relationship, an | error in your thoughts about the situation, which then becomes the |
| Tx:17.66 | becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You will make this | error, but be not at all concerned with that. The error does not |

| Tx:18.5 | from what you see. You do not realize the magnitude of that one | error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a |
| Tx:18.5 | you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original | error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge |
| Tx:18.6 | That was the first projection of | error outward. The world arose to hide it and became the screen on |
| Tx:18.6 | afraid of it. When you seem to see some twisted form of the original | error rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but love,” |
| Tx:18.7 | you. You but believe it is the other way; that truth is outside and | error and guilt within. Your little senseless substitutions, touched |
| Tx:18.9 | joined in God, as much together as you are with Him. The original | error has not entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth |
| Tx:18.12 | hear no substitutes. Their call is but an echo of the original | error which shattered Heaven. And what became of peace in those who |
| Tx:18.84 | to the light and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that | error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part |
| Tx:19.14 | that you will realize that there is nothing faith cannot forgive. No | error interferes with its calm sight, which brings the miracle of |

| Tx:19.17 | and it is this distinction which makes salvation possible. For | error can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But sin, were it |
| Tx:19.17 | not part of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment as | error for correction, and the belief that punishment is correction is |
| Tx:19.18 | Sin is not an | error, for sin entails an arrogance which the idea of error lacks. To |

| Tx:19.20 | A major tenet in the ego's insane religion is that sin is not | error but truth, and it is innocence that would deceive. Purity is |
| Tx:19.21 | Any attempt to reinterpret sin as | error is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is wholly |
| Tx:19.25 | The attraction of guilt is found in sin, not | error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can |
| Tx:19.26 | For what you think is real you want and will not let it go. An | error, on the other hand, is not attractive. What you see clearly as |
| Tx:19.27 | then you will but change the form of sin, granting that it was an | error but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a change in |
| Tx:19.27 | in your perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not | error. The Holy Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and |
| Tx:19.29 | Yet from the plane, the line seems discontinuous. And this is but an | error in perception which can be easily corrected in the mind, |
| Tx:19.30 | differently and see beyond it, but not while you believe in sin. In | error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the |
| Tx:19.70 | retaliative attack on what you think has failed you? Use not your | error as the justification for your faithlessness. You have not |
| Tx:20.60 | and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you will make the | error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can they be |
| Tx:20.61 | invested with attributes of Christ or of the ego. Either must be an | error, for both would place the attributes where they cannot be. And |
| Tx:21.59 | you will not give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected | error of any kind deceives you about the power that is in you to make |
| Tx:22.1 | by each to be within himself. And each one seems to make a different | error, and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the same, |
| Tx:22.30 | was uncorrectable can be corrected, and thus it must have been an | error. The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief |
| Tx:22.31 | to pass it. Yet reason sees through it easily because it is an | error. The form it takes cannot conceal its emptiness from reason's |
| Tx:22.32 | Only the form of | error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not |
| Tx:22.32 | or not. Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an | error in perception, a distorted fragment of the whole, without the |
| Tx:22.32 | yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be corrected. Sin is but | error in a special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all |
| Tx:22.33 | Reason will tell you that the form of | error is not what makes it a mistake. If what the form conceals is a |
| Tx:22.33 | see beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to look on | error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for |
| Tx:22.55 | Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of | error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love, looks quietly |
| Tx:22.55 | the same Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the | error and lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who |
| Tx:22.57 | have looked upon each other with complete forgiveness from which no | error is excluded and nothing kept hidden what mistake can there be |
| Tx:22.60 | attackers more powerful than you. Let us look straight at how this | error came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to |
| Tx:23.3 | the strength of love because they looked on innocence. And every | error disappeared because they saw it not. Who looks for glory finds |
| Tx:23.9 | chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an | error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of |
| Tx:23.22 | and not correction. For the destruction of the one who makes the | error places him beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he |
| Tx:24.26 | clings to one illusion can see himself as sinless, for he holds one | error to himself as lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable” |
| Tx:25.9 | your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the | error lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and |
| Tx:25.26 | form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected | error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son, |
| Tx:25.26 | the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son, even in | error. There is another purpose in the world that error made because |
| Tx:25.26 | His Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the world that | error made because it has another Maker Who can reconcile its goal |
| Tx:25.27 | be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the world correct your | error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps are not. Everyone |
| Tx:25.30 | sin has been corrected by His sight. And thus it must have been an | error, not a sin. For what it claimed could never be has been. Sin is |
| Tx:25.30 | and so preserved. But to forgive it is to change its state from | error into truth. |
| Tx:25.80 | what is unfair must be corrected because it is unfair. And every | error is a perception in which one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is |
| Tx:26.11 | worked out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because it was an | error in perception which now has been corrected. One mistake is not |
| Tx:26.13 | The miracle of justice can correct all errors. Every problem is an | error. It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true. |
| Tx:26.40 | instead of live. And will you not forgive him now because he made an | error in the past that God remembers not and is not there? Now you |
| Tx:26.52 | Sin is not | error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the belief |
| Tx:26.58 | about your will and what you really are? Let us consider what the | error is, so it can be corrected, not protected. |
| Tx:26.59 | ideas can leave their source made real and meaningful. And from this | error does the world of sin and sacrifice arise. This world is an |
| Tx:26.70 | is made yours and its effects will come to you. In this form is the | error still obscured that is the source of fear. Salvation would wipe |
| Tx:27.25 | split between the two. And what you would correct is only half the | error, which you think is all of it. Your brother's sins become the |
| Tx:27.85 | the cause and looks not to effects. How else could He correct your | error, who have overlooked the cause entirely? He bids you bring each |
| Tx:30.71 | see forgiveness as the natural reaction to distress which rests on | error and thus calls for help. Forgiveness is the only sane response. |
| Tx:30.74 | there be some sin which stands beyond forgiveness. There would be an | error that is more than a mistake—a special form of error which |
| Tx:30.74 | would be an error that is more than a mistake—a special form of | error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond correction or |

| Tx:21.41 | The Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. | Errors He will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed |
| Tx:21.59 | Reason cannot see sin but can see | errors and leads to their correction. It does not value them, but |
| Tx:21.65 | instant. And any instant serves to bring complete correction of his | errors and make him whole. The instant that you choose to let |
| Tx:22.30 | course. Share this belief, and reason will be unable to see your | errors and make way for their correction. For reason sees through |
| Tx:22.30 | errors and make way for their correction. For reason sees through | errors, telling you what you thought was real is not. Reason can see |
| Tx:22.30 | to correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of | errors. It looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego |
| Tx:22.32 | but error in a special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all | errors and make them sins. For here is its own stability, its heavy |
| Tx:22.36 | you associate with his body, which you believe can sin? Beyond his | errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave him not his |

| Tx:23.22 | This principle, closely related to the first, is the demand that | errors call for punishment and not correction. For the destruction of |
| Tx:24.56 | Your brother's holiness is sacrament and benediction unto you. His | errors cannot withhold God's blessing from himself nor you who see |
| Tx:25.28 | him joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your brother's | errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the workings |
| Tx:25.78 | What can it be but arrogance to think your little | errors cannot be undone by Heaven's justice? And what could this mean |

| Tx:26.13 | The miracle of justice can correct all | errors. Every problem is an error. It does injustice to the Son of |

| Tx:9.42 | regard yourself as inadequate. Would you look to the ego to help you | escape from a sense of inadequacy it has produced and must maintain |
| Tx:9.42 | it has produced and must maintain for its existence? Can you | escape from its evaluation of you by using its methods for keeping |
| Tx:9.59 | you. You can violate God's laws in your imagination, but you cannot | escape from them. They were established for your protection and are |
| Tx:9.96 | If you were, what you have made would be true, and you could never | escape. |
| Tx:10.39 | No one can | escape from illusions unless he looks at them, for not looking is the |
| Tx:11.9 | equally applicable to you. For to recognize fear is not enough to | escape from it, although the recognition is necessary to demonstrate |
| Tx:11.9 | although the recognition is necessary to demonstrate the need for | escape. The Holy Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you |
| Tx:11.20 | awoke for you. In my resurrection is your release. Our mission is to | escape crucifixion, not redemption. Trust in my help, for I did not |
| Tx:11.47 | hardly turn to them to establish the curriculum by which they can | escape from their limitations. If they understood what is beyond |
| Tx:11.85 | the mind being judged, believing that by punishing another, it will | escape punishment. All this is but the delusional attempt of the mind |
| Tx:11.85 | this is but the delusional attempt of the mind to deny itself and | escape the penalty of denial. It is not an attempt to relinquish |
| Tx:11.93 | his guiltlessness, and he has found it. For everyone is seeking to | escape from the prison he has made, and the way to find release is |
| Tx:11.99 | is the result of attack. In the ego's teaching, then, there is no | escape from guilt. For attack makes guilt real, and if it is real, |
| Tx:12.28 | The shadowy figures from the past are precisely what you must | escape. For they are not real and have no hold over you unless you |
| Tx:13.12 | you bring its condemnation of yourself, and you will not | escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The ego rewards |
| Tx:13.35 | that both opponents in the war are real. Believing this, he must | escape, for such a war would surely end his peace of mind and so |
| Tx:13.36 | “enemy,” which he made, is totally unreal. You are but trying to | escape a bitter war from which you have escaped. The war is gone. For |
| Tx:13.53 | and dismisses it. But you, who cannot undo what you have made [nor | escape the heavy burden of its dullness that lies upon your minds], |
| Tx:13.65 | that guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each representing an | escape from what the other does not offer you. You do not want either |
| Tx:13.66 | There is no compromise that you can make with guilt and | escape the pain which only guiltlessness allays. Learning is living |
| Tx:13.75 | that you are worthy of everything God wills for you. Do not try to | escape the gift of God which He so freely and so gladly offers you. |
| Tx:13.77 | you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit knows that all salvation is | escape from guilt. You have no other “enemy,” and against this |
| Tx:13.89 | to fulfill your function in God's Mind with all of yours. Can you | escape this guilt by failing to fulfill your function here? You need |
| Tx:14.60 | Atonement teaches you how to | escape forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in the |
| Tx:15.7 | for it would have its worshipers still believe that it can offer the | escape from it. But the belief in guilt must lead to the belief in |
| Tx:15.8 | fear by which the ego would make the present useless. There is no | escape from fear in the ego's use of time. For time, according to its |
| Tx:15.14 | the crystal cleanness of the release you give is your instantaneous | escape from guilt. You must be holy if you offer holiness. How long |
| Tx:15.24 | it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can | escape from littleness. |
| Tx:15.81 | are forever in a relationship so holy that it calls to everyone to | escape from loneliness and join you in your love. And where you are |
| Tx:16.33 | die of it. 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 |
| Tx:16.35 | illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to | escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek love |
| Tx:16.57 | learning that would hurt you, God offers you correction and complete | escape from all its consequences. The decision whether or not to |
| Tx:16.65 | now more than before only because you realize it is delay and that | escape from pain is really possible. Find hope and comfort rather |
| Tx:16.72 | destruction. For the ego holds the past against you, and in your | escape from the past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it |
| Tx:16.74 | for it. And vengeance becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the | escape from vengeance becomes your loss. |
| Tx:17.5 | truth to teach that the illusions are unreal and thus enable you to | escape from them. Reserve not one idea aside from truth, or you |
| Tx:17.49 | to which your former goal was quite appropriate. You can | escape from your distress only by getting rid of each other. You need |
| Tx:18.17 | “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 instant, the |
| Tx:18.38 | that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that your plan for the | escape from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and make |
| Tx:18.55 | this prison you have made and would destroy it. But you would not | escape from it, leaving it unharmed, without your guilt upon it. |
| Tx:18.56 | Yet only thus can you | escape. The home of vengeance is not yours; the place you set aside |
| Tx:18.58 | experienced in special relationships. It is a sense of actual | escape from limitations. |
| Tx:18.61 | There is no violence at all in this | escape. The body is not attacked, but simply properly perceived. It |
| Tx:18.69 | and open door through which you slip past centuries of effort and | escape from time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction |
| Tx:19.23 | no mistake. For this is its reality; this is the “truth” from which | escape will always be impossible. This is his past, his present, and |
| Tx:19.53 | charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little breath of love | escape their notice. And they will return with all the happy things |
| Tx:19.75 | one but must believe that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the | escape from pain. Not one but must regard the body as himself, |
| Tx:19.78 | hear him laugh at death. The sentence sin would lay upon him he can | escape through your forgiveness. |
| Tx:20.51 | you tremble with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald of | escape. This place of darkness is not your home. Your temple is not |
| Tx:20.66 | sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your | escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is |
| Tx:21.14 | need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete | escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with |
| Tx:21.66 | how to leave insanity behind. Hide not behind insanity in order to | escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still |
| Tx:22.17 | of misery? To leave one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an | escape. To change illusions is to make no change. The search for joy |
| Tx:22.19 | Reason will tell you that the only way to | escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. Truth is |
| Tx:22.20 | no guilt in anyone. And if this vision is the only means by which | escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in sin must be |
| Tx:22.20 | be so if the idea is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if | escape from guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by |
| Tx:22.22 | false and cannot be but partially believed. And you will either | escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will tell you that |
| Tx:23.26 | There can be no release and no | escape. Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not |
| Tx:23.26 | it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego will enable you to find | escape from what it wants. That is the function of this course, which |
| Tx:23.46 | Mistake not truce for peace, nor compromise for the | escape from conflict. To be released from conflict means that it is |
| Tx:24.41 | to be; however much it delicately offers the hope of peace and the | escape from pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In |
| Tx:24.52 | For you will use the world for what is not its purpose and will not | escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be |
| Tx:24.53 | 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 but keeps you both in hell. |
| Tx:24.71 | yourself with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no | escape within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own |
| Tx:25.22 | and 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 |
| Tx:25.58 | him and whatever hope he has of being sane. Nor is he left without | escape from madness, for he has a special part in everyone's escape. |
| Tx:25.58 | without escape from madness, for he has a special part in everyone's | escape. He can no more be left outside without a special function in |
| Tx:25.69 | except a devil dressed to deceive within an angel's cloak? And what | escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to look like |
| Tx:26.44 | has come to you. For no one can make one illusion real and still | escape the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones which he prefers |
| Tx:26.61 | God's Son could never be content with less than full salvation and | escape from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that he must make |
| Tx:27.1 | a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself will not | escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if you are unfairly |
| Tx:27.2 | not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not | escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you find |
| Tx:27.4 | he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he never will | escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it can serve |
| Tx:27.39 | true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can bring | escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” Whatever form |
| Tx:27.62 | apparent still, for it is he who bears the suffering. And he cannot | escape because its source is seen outside himself. |
| Tx:27.63 | Now you are being shown you can | escape. All that is needed is you look upon the problem as it is, and |
| Tx:27.65 | There is indeed a need. The world's | escape from condemnation is a need which those within the world are |
| Tx:27.67 | part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your own | escape. Forget not that the witness to the world of evil cannot speak |
| Tx:27.81 | How willing are you to | escape effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your |
| Tx:29.1 | and leave a gap between you and His love through which you can | escape if there be need for you to flee. |
| Tx:29.12 | the hope of peace upon a battleground. It has been futile to demand | escape from sin and pain of what was made to serve the function of |
| Tx:29.25 | which means that you have understood that dreams are dreams and that | escape depends not on the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be |
| Tx:29.63 | to God's Son, and it is justice that who judges him will not | escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he made. God |
| Tx:29.65 | him for his treachery to them. He thinks he needs them that he may | escape his thoughts, because he thinks the thoughts are real. And so |
| Tx:30.57 | the world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the | escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is |
| Tx:30.70 | Anger is never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here | escape from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real |
| Tx:30.74 | error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond correction or | escape. There would be one mistake which had the power to undo |
| Tx:30.75 | be limited. And you have set a goal of partial pardon and a limited | escape from guilt for you. What can this be except a false |
| Tx:30.76 | from healing, one illusion must be part of truth. And you could not | escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive God's Son |
| Tx:30.76 | that is not whole and will remain afraid to look within and find | escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on faith there cannot |
| Tx:30.78 | God's Son. Nor will you know him if you think he does not merit the | escape from guilt in all its forms and all its consequence. There is |
| Tx:30.86 | Escape from judgment simply lies in this—all things have but one | |
| Tx:31.33 | There is a tendency to think the world can offer consolation and | escape from problems which its purpose is to keep. Why should this |
| Tx:31.33 | which concern you not. Yet they are your concern. How then can you | escape from them by leaving them behind? What must go with you, you |
| Tx:31.34 | and death. There is no choice in its alternatives. Seek not | escape from problems here. The world was made that problems could not |
| Tx:31.42 | journeys and all goal-less aims. They have no meaning. You can not | escape from what you are. For God is merciful and did not let His Son |
| Tx:31.42 | Son abandon Him. For what He is, be thankful, for in that is your | escape from madness and from death. Nowhere but where He is can you |
| Tx:31.47 | of the world are safely kept and those who walk on them will not | escape. |
| Tx:31.56 | riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the | escape from concepts. It does not concern itself with content of the |
| Tx:31.62 | or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will | escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you |
| Tx:31.83 | the holy Son of God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to | escape its frailty and bound by what it orders him to feel. It sets |
| Tx:31.87 | made a faulty choice before, you now can make a better one and thus | escape all pain which what you chose before has brought to you. In |
| W1:21.3 | Try, therefore, not to let the “little” thoughts of anger | escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really |
| W1:22.2 | It is from this savage fantasy that you want to | escape. Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is it not |
| W1:22.2 | it is not real? Is it not a happy discovery to find that you can | escape? You made what you would destroy—everything that you hate |
| W1:23.4 | as the image-maker. You cannot be saved from the world, but you can | escape from its cause. This is what salvation means, for where is the |
| W1:23.7 | I can | escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts about _____. |
| W1:31.2 | your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You will | escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the outer. |
| W1:44.6 | to remind yourself from time to time that to reach light is to | escape from darkness, whatever you may believe to the contrary. God |
| W1:53.4 | this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will | escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am |
| W1:55.4 | [23] I can | escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my |
| W1:64.4 | awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the Son of God | escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. The Son of |
| W1:65.2 | understand and accept what today's idea really means. It offers you | escape from all your perceived difficulties. It places the key to the |
| W1:71.7 | How can you | escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only |
| W1:72.6 | In fact, if the body were real, it would be difficult indeed to | escape this conclusion. And every grievance that you hold insists |
| W1:91.5 | and your will has all the strength to do what it desires. You can | escape the body if you choose. You can experience the strength in you. |
| W1:97.12 | Use them against temptation, and | escape its sorry consequences if you yield to the belief that you are |
| W1:99.2 | It reflects the truth because it is the means by which you can | escape illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was |
| W1:101.2 | in some form which evens the account they owe to God. They would | escape Him in their fear. And yet He will pursue, and they cannot |
| W1:101.2 | escape Him in their fear. And yet He will pursue, and they cannot | escape. |
| W1:101.10 | Today | escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's |
| W1:110.2 | is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the world to learn | escape from time and every change that time appears to bring in |
| W1:121.4 | it were dead. It wants forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. It wants | escape, yet can conceive of none because it sees the sinful |
| W1:121.9 | as one, we will extend the lesson to yourself and see that their | escape included yours. |
| W1:126.5 | undeserved reprieve. Yet it remains your right to let the sinner not | escape the justified repayment for his sin. Think you the Lord of |
| W1:127.7 | is no better use for time than this. For 15 minutes twice today | escape from every law in which you now believe. Open your mind and |
| W1:128.3 | Escape today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive | |
| W1:128.7 | the world will shift by just a little every time you let your mind | escape its chains. The world is not where it belongs. And you belong |
| W1:132.3 | be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you find | escape and give it to the world. |
| W1:134.5 | Pardon is no | escape in such a view. It merely is a further sign that sin is |
| W1:134.11 | he thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot feel that all | escape has been denied to him. |
| W1:134.18 | of relief. The time remaining should be given to experiencing the | escape from all the heavy chains you sought to lay upon your brother |
| W1:136.4 | Who but yourself evaluates a threat, decides | escape is necessary, and sets up a series of defenses to reduce the |
| W1:138.3 | Choice is the obvious | escape from what appears as opposites. Decision lets one of |
| W1:153.2 | within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to find | escape from its imaginings. |
| W1:153.3 | wherein another circle bound it, and another in that one, until | escape no longer can be hoped for nor obtained. Attack, defense; |
| W1:153.11 | Nor will you learn that light has come to you, and your | escape has been accomplished. For you will not see the light until |
| W1:153.14 | of all his hopes, his pitiful defense against a vengeance he cannot | escape, were but his own deluded fantasy. God's ministers have come |
| W1:161.16 | Today's idea is your safe | escape from anger and from fear. Be sure you use it instantly, should |
| W1:162.5 | as remedy for grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for complete | escape from sin and guilt? |
| W1:170.6 | safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn for solace and | escape from doubts about your strength and hope of rest in dreamless |
| W1:170.10 | Yet do not think that fear is the | escape from fear. Let us remember what the course has stressed about |
| W1:183.10 | a state in which you will experience the gifts of grace. You can | escape all bondage of the world and give the world the same release |
| W1:184.15 | give in place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and | escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is |
| W1:185.4 | it takes the form of union, but only the form. The meaning must | escape the dream, for compromising is the goal of dreaming. Minds |
| W1:191.3 | Deny your own Identity, and you will not | escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and ghostly |
| W1:191.5 | thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and | escape, you will return and set it free. For he who can accept his |
| W1:192.8 | bound together with his prisoner. He must be sure that he does not | escape, and so he spends his time in keeping watch on him. The bars |
| W1:195.2 | steps which He directs and follow in the way He sets before them to | escape a prison that they thought contained no door to the |
| W1:195.5 | but in sincerity. And let your gratitude make room for all who will | escape with you—the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those |
| W1:196.5 | The dreary, hopeless thought that you can make attacks on others and | escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be |
| W1:196.6 | that this, at least, must be entirely impossible, how could there be | escape? The fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is |
| W1:196.10 | is an instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so wholly that | escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize once and for all that |
| W1:199.7 | a body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make use of your | escape from bondage to set free the many who perceive themselves as |
| W1:200.5 | change your mind about the purpose of the world if you would find | escape. You will be bound till all the world is seen by you as |
| W1:200.6 | it is needed and where it must serve a mighty function. Is not the | escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet |
| W2:WIB.4 | returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell without | escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of |
| W2:289.1 | Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must | escape my sight. For I am really looking nowhere, seeing but what is |
| W2:293.2 | Father, let not Your holy world | escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of |
| W2:296.1 | I made. For having damned it, I would set it free that I may find | escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today. |
| W2:298.2 | way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and | escape from everything that would obscure my love for God, my Father, |
| W2:330.1 | cannot suffer. Let us choose today that He be our Identity and thus | escape forever from all things the dream of fear appears to offer us. |
| W2:357.1 | truth's reflection, tells me how to offer miracles and thus | escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is |
| W2:FL.1 | in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the | escape from pain. |
| M:I.4 | This is inevitable. There is no | escape from it. How could it be otherwise? Everyone who follows the |
| M:4.7 | desirable, it will engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of God | escape this distress entirely. There is, however, no point in sorting |
| M:13.3 | and discontented, to know not what it really wants to find. Who can | escape this self-condemnation? Only through God's Word could this be |
| M:15.1 | Indeed yes! No one can | escape God's Final Judgment. Who could flee forever from the truth? |
| M:17.8 | bring the light of hope from God Himself. There is a way in which | escape is possible. It can be learned and taught, but it requires |
| M:17.9 | the anger certain witness that you do believe in it as fact. Now is | escape impossible until you see you have responded to your own |
| M:18.1 | “proved,” both to his pupil and himself, that it is their task to | escape from what is real. And this can only be impossible. Reality is |
| M:20.5 | Living is joy, but death can only weep. You see in death | escape from what you made. But this you do not see—that you made |
| M:20.5 | you made death, and it is but illusion of an end. Death cannot be | escape, because it is not life in which the problem lies. Life has no |
| M:24.2 | the individual faces now, his task would still be only to | escape from them now. If he is laying the groundwork for a future |
| M:24.6 | still your one responsibility. Atonement might be equated with total | escape from the past and total lack of interest in the future. Heaven |
| M:26.4 | Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function to | escape from them, but not to be without them. If you would be heard |
| M:29.3 | To return the function to the One to Whom it belongs is thus the | escape from fear. And it is this that lets the memory of love return |

| Tx:8.89 | since meaning itself is of God. Yet your return to meaning is | essential to His because your meaning is part of His. Your healing, |
| Tx:9.39 | is because the ego is afraid of the obvious since obviousness is the | essential characteristic of reality. Yet you cannot overlook it |
| Tx:9.53 | level of shift, it is experienced as shifting, and extremes are its | essential characteristic. |
| Tx:11.75 | treacherous to your Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an | essential part of the Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel |

| Tx:19.25 | evil that cannot be corrected and will be forever desirable. As an | essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you will always want |
| Tx:19.71 | to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain. It is | essential that this relationship be understood, for it is one the ego |
| Tx:22.62 | is one. You would not choose attack on its reality if it were not | essential to attack to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus |
| Tx:23.19 | understanding what they are, not what they would maintain. It is | essential it be understood what they are for, because it is their |
| Tx:24.69 | perceived. And therefore do we deal with them as if they were. It is | essential it be kept in mind that all perception still is upside down |
| Tx:26.21 | what is the same and what is different remain unclear. The one | essential thing to make a choice at all is this distinction. And |
| W1:3.2 | realize how little you really understand about them. It is therefore | essential that you keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by |
| W1:9.3 | see, remembering the need for its indiscriminate application and the | essential rule of excluding nothing. For example: |
| W1:13.3 | It is | essential, therefore, that you learn to recognize the meaningless and |
| W1:16.3 | as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about that it is | essential you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally |
| W1:17.8 | As usual, it is | essential to make no distinction between what you believe to be |
| W1:19.5 | that random selection of subjects for all practice periods remains | essential throughout. Lack of order in this connection will |

| W1:44.2 | outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. An | essential part of this equipment is the light that makes seeing |
| W1:56.3 | of the self-image I have made. If I would remember who I am, it is | essential that I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by |

| W1:100.4 | You are indeed | essential to God's plan. Just as your light increases every light |

| W1:100.10 | when He Who calls to you is God Himself? He will be there. You are | essential to His plan. You are His messenger today. And you must find |
| W1:100.11 | today. And it is Him you answer every time you tell yourself you are | essential to God's plan for the salvation of the world. |

| Tx:7.24 | does not matter. It is always maximal. Your vigilance does not | establish it as yours, but it does enable you to use it always and in |
| Tx:7.32 | nor control but only understanding. This is because it does not | establish the laws it seeks, cannot discover them through prediction, |
| Tx:7.34 | is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The laws of God | establish this, and the Holy Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, |
| Tx:7.113 | Your creations cannot | establish your reality any more than you can establish God's. But you |
| Tx:7.113 | Your creations cannot establish your reality any more than you can | establish God's. But you can know both. Being is known by sharing. |
| Tx:8.80 | learn this as you learn to question the value of the ego and thus | establish your ability to evaluate its questions. When the ego tempts |
| Tx:9.58 | indivisible, your evaluation of yourself must be God's. You did not | establish your value, and it needs no defense. Nothing can attack it |
| Tx:10.51 | yours and is therefore incomplete without it. You can only | establish your autonomy by identifying with Him and fulfilling your |
| Tx:10.53 | that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, and to | establish this belief it must attack. Unaware that the belief cannot |

| Tx:14.50 | which still remains is held together by a sense of order which you | establish. Yet the very fact that you can do this and bring any order |

| Tx:13.39 | to you, God's Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has | established you, because He does not change His Mind. He is |
| Tx:14.3 | Father because they know that they are sinless. The Atonement was | established as the means of restoring guiltlessness to the mind which |

| Tx:11.41 | Behold the Guide your Father gave you that you might learn you have | eternal life. For death is not your Father's Will nor yours, and |
| Tx:11.42 | that you have been redeemed. The Holy Spirit guides you into life | eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or you |
| Tx:11.46 | has made itself a poor learner. You tried to make the separation | eternal because you wanted to retain the characteristics of creation |
| Tx:11.60 | For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything | eternal in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed |

| Tx:11.76 | looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you will see only the | eternal as you look out upon a world that cannot die. |
| Tx:11.88 | you will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept the | eternal fact that God's Son is not guilty. He deserves only love |
| Tx:11.93 | be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him not, for his | eternal guiltlessness is in the mind of his Father, and protects him |
| Tx:11.96 | of the appreciation of eternity. You are immortal because you are | eternal and always must be now. Guilt, then, is a way of holding past |
| Tx:11.97 | For God has never condemned His Son, and being guiltless, he is | eternal. |

| Tx:12.50 | was and will be when time is no more. In it is everything that is | eternal, and they are one. Their continuity is timeless, and their |
| Tx:12.76 | abide. Healing in time is needed, for joy cannot establish its | eternal reign where sorrow dwells. You dwell not here, but in |
| Tx:14.10 | is offered for the single purpose of release from guilt to the | eternal glory of God and His creation. And every teaching that points |
| Tx:15.5 | conceive of its own death, it will pursue you still because guilt is | eternal. Such is the ego's version of immortality. And it is this the |
| Tx:15.15 | is no longer time at all. For, caught in the single instant of the | eternal sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed into forever. |
| Tx:15.15 | sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the | eternal instant that eternity may be remembered for you in that |
| Tx:15.16 | The Atonement is in time but not for time. Being in you, it is | eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by time. No |
| Tx:15.17 | of holiness which will remove all fear. For the instant of peace is | eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, being the |
| Tx:15.28 | dwell. Touch no one, then, with littleness, in the name of Christ, | eternal Host unto His Father. |
| Tx:15.89 | to be with you forever, you would experience the attraction of the | eternal. No one can hear Him speak of this and long remain willing to |
| Tx:16.27 | and no end, and there is nothing in Him that is not perfect and | eternal. All this is you, and nothing outside of this is you. |
| Tx:16.55 | up in which the dance of death delights you can bring death to the | eternal. Nor can your chosen substitute for the wholeness of God have |
| Tx:16.76 | from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the holy instant is | eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent the timeless |
| Tx:17.20 | If all but loving thoughts has been forgotten, what remains is | eternal. And the transformed past is made like the present. No longer |
| Tx:17.36 | of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of His | eternal Spirit are marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For |
| Tx:18.31 | and forward unto God to shine away the past and so make room for His | eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light. |
| Tx:18.37 | His plan to restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is | eternal. I need add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be |

| Tx:18.85 | union to you, returning your little offering of darkness to the | eternal Light. |
| Tx:19.16 | Let then your dedication be to the | eternal and learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to |
| Tx:19.16 | with it and make it slave to time. For what you think you do to the | eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to |
| Tx:19.18 | making himself what God created not. Thus is creation seen as not | eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition and defeat. Sin is |

| Tx:19.63 | extended from you only to the eternal, and it reaches out from the | eternal in you. It flows across all else. The second obstacle is no |
| Tx:19.69 | Faith in the | eternal is always justified, for the eternal is forever kind, |

| Tx:20.24 | which he held out to you? Did you recognize each other as the | eternal gift of God to you? Did you see the holiness that shone in |
| Tx:20.27 | His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of God's | eternal promise of your immortality. See him as sinless, and there |
| Tx:20.53 | but without its loveliness. Is this the substitute you want for the | eternal blessing of the holy instant and its unlimited beneficence? |
| Tx:21.53 | Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you now, being | eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy Spirit can |
| Tx:22.18 | No form of misery in reason's eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is | eternal. You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does |
| Tx:22.18 | does not last is really fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the | eternal cannot change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time |
| Tx:22.18 | change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time gives way to the | eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but everything in |
| Tx:22.20 | escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in sin must be | eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the |
| Tx:22.55 | you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the | Eternal Light you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness |
| Tx:22.56 | loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of everything that is | eternal. No trace of anything in time can long remain in minds that |
| Tx:23.7 | there is conflict, for a mind at war against itself remembers not | eternal gentleness. The means of war are not the means of peace, and |
| Tx:23.24 | directly to the third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos | eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must accept his Son's |
| Tx:23.37 | impossible, and beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an | eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is |
| Tx:24.25 | death of specialness is not your death but your awaking into life | eternal. You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the |
| Tx:25.55 | Each sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and | eternal truth of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the |
| Tx:25.61 | sanity restored. And on this single rock of truth can faith in God's | eternal saneness rest in perfect confidence and perfect peace. Reason |
| Tx:25.77 | peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life | eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His |

| Tx:26.49 | world of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's answer is | eternal, though it operates in time where it is needed. Yet because |
| Tx:27.5 | attack and therefore never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the | eternal truth that you cannot be hurt and points beyond itself to |
| Tx:28.14 | generate a different past or future. Its effects are changelessly | eternal, beyond fear, and past the world of sin entirely. |
| Tx:29.1 | The compromise the least and littlest gap would represent in His | eternal love is quite impossible. For it would mean His love could |
| Tx:29.1 | a hint of hate; His gentleness turn sometimes to attack; and His | eternal patience sometimes fail. All this do you believe, when you |

| Tx:29.32 | love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to peace | eternal and to endless joy. |
| Tx:29.37 | is found. Let us be glad indeed that this is so and seek not the | eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from |

| Tx:29.39 | and fade will not return. Where time has set an end is not where the | eternal is. God's Son can never change by what men made of him. He |
| Tx:29.40 | goal unlike God's purpose for you and establish it as changeless and | eternal. You can give yourself a purpose that you do not have. But |
| Tx:29.40 | Change is the greatest gift God gave to all that you would make | eternal, to ensure that only Heaven would not pass away. |
| Tx:29.56 | restores to what has life and power worthy of the gift of Heaven and | eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the truth, the light the |

| Tx:30.45 | The Thought God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an | eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven |
| Tx:30.46 | Who knows the Father knows this light, for He is the | eternal sky which holds it safe, forever lifted up, and anchored |
| Tx:30.47 | In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its | eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of |
| Tx:30.48 | a world which your reality knows nothing of? Outside you there is no | eternal sky, no changeless star, and no reality. The mind of Heaven's |
| Tx:30.74 | than a mistake—a special form of error which remains unchangeable, | eternal, and beyond correction or escape. There would be one mistake |
| Tx:31.8 | and had lost a friend who always wanted to be part of you. The soft, | eternal calling of each part of God's creation to the whole is heard |
| W1:45.3 | because they cannot have left. What is thought by the Mind of God is | eternal, being part of creation. |
| W1:45.8 | unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the | eternal. |
| W1:49.4 | and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your | eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you |
| W1:50.2 | nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the | eternal calm of the Son of God. |
| W1:50.3 | will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you, | eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to |
| W1:87.5 | I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my | eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize that all this |
| W1:93.5 | him nor attack his peace. It has not changed creation nor reduced | eternal sinlessness to sin and love to hate. What power can this self |
| W1:93.6 | by God. Nothing can touch it nor can change what God created as | eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. |
| W1:93.7 | mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is | eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You |
| W1:104.8 | His Will is done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His | eternal gifts. We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between |
| W1:124.3 | What we receive is our | eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went before |
| W1:131.9 | when God Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the | Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try |
| W1:132.10 | place where you can suffer and no time that can bring change to your | eternal state. How can a world of time and place exist if you remain |
| W1:135.19 | you ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to | eternal life. |

| W1:151.3 | you understand and think more real than what is witnessed to by the | eternal Voice of God Himself. |
| W1:151.14 | the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son as proof of His | eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on |
| W1:152.9 | humble in acknowledging its mightiness, its changelessness, and its | eternal wholeness—all-encompassing, God's perfect gift to His |
| W1:159.3 | is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects | eternal love and the rebirth of love which never died but has been |
| W1:163.7 | him to survive. Their stronger will could triumph over His, and so | eternal life gave way to death. And with the Father died the Son as |
| W1:163.9 | We live and breathe in You alone. We are not separate from Your | eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your Will. And we |
| W1:165.1 | thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the | Eternal Life your Father wills for you? And what could hide what |
| W1:167.6 | that are and cannot give them attributes it lacks nor change its own | eternal, mindful state. It cannot make the physical. What seems to |
| W1:167.10 | opposites to life abide even an instant where the thought of life | eternal has been set by God Himself. |

| W1:182.4 | Father's house and knows that He is alien here. This Childhood is | eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever. Where this Child |
| W1:183.12 | his Father's Voice gives answer in his Father's holy Name. In this | eternal, still relationship, in which communication far transcends |
| W1:183.12 | in depth and height whatever words could possibly convey, is peace | eternal. In our Father's Name, we would experience this peace today. |
| W1:185.7 | mean these words acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the | eternal in the place of shifting dreams which seem to change in what |
| W1:185.12 | it was created, given you by its Creator and established as His own | eternal gift. How can you fail when you but ask for what He wills for |
| W1:188.3 | with it which remains forever and forever. What it gives must be | eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It |
| W1:190.2 | what is wholly unassailable. It is a nightmare of abandonment by an | eternal Love which could not leave the Son whom It created out of |
| W1:191.13 | you have denied its hold on you. They die till you accept your own | eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and |
| W1:193.1 | that He wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed, | eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of |
| W1:193.13 | his holy rest remain untroubled and serene, without a care in an | eternal home which cares for him. And He would have all tears be |
| W1:193.17 | in its course go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace | eternal in the world of time. This is the lesson God would have you |
| W1:197.5 | God must be His own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, | eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love, |
| W1:200.3 | Yet you can ask as easily for love, for happiness, and for | eternal life in peace that has no ending. Ask for this, and you can |
| W2:234.2 | bestowed on us, for all the loving help we have received, for Your | eternal patience, and the Word which You have given us that we are |
| W2:WIS.3 | real. Sin “proves” God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; | eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He loves, |
| W2:WIB.2 | murderer? And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God's | eternal Son can be destroyed? |
| W2:263.1 | with which You blessed creation—all its purity, its joy, and its | eternal, quiet home in You. |
| W2:273.2 | peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own | eternal love for You. |
| W2:WIHS.2 | for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the | Eternal Truth. |
| W2:297.2 | already and accomplished by Your grace. Thanks be to You for Your | eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity. |
| W2:309.1 | Within me is | eternal innocence because it is God's Will that it be there forever |
| W2:WILJ.4 | in His appointed plan to bless His Son and call him to return to the | eternal peace He shares with him. Be not afraid of love. For it alone |

| W2:WIE.3 | in Him? What can he know of sorrow and of suffering when he lives in | eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and |
| W2:331.1 | Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, | Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no |
| W2:334.2 | I seek but the | eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. |
| W2:337.1 | My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, | eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of |
| W2:348.1 | fear? Surrounding me is perfect safety. Can I be afraid when Your | eternal promise goes with me? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. |
| W2:WAI.1 | of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed | eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy |

| Tx:3.74 | or a system of thought that is real enough in time, though not in | eternity. All beliefs are real to the believer. |
| Tx:5.36 | is obviously a time idea. Both time and delay are meaningless in | eternity. We have said before that the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to |

| Tx:5.39 | the rightful place of the Sonship [is] God. This is your life, your | eternity, and yourself. It is of this that the Holy Spirit reminds |
| Tx:5.40 | The Holy Spirit counters this welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and | eternity are as closely related as are time and war. Perception as |
| Tx:5.42 | except in His peace. If peace is eternal, you are at home only in | eternity. The ego made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy |
| Tx:5.42 | time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The mind must be led into | eternity through time because, having made time, it is capable of |

| Tx:5.71 | but it is tragic in time. You have elected to be in time rather than | eternity and have therefore changed your belief in your status. Yet |
| Tx:5.71 | free and alterable. You do not belong in time. Your place is only in | eternity, where God Himself placed you forever. |

| Tx:5.82 | moment of time, because it is His special function to return you to | eternity and remain to bless your creations there. He is the only |
| Tx:5.86 | mind. Freud, however, suffered all his life from refusal to allow | eternity to dawn upon his mind and enlighten it truly. As a result, |

| Tx:7.5 | extend yourself as He did. Only joy increases forever, since joy and | eternity are inseparable. God extends outward beyond limits and |

| Tx:9.8 | that is what time is for. God gave you the function to create in | eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to learn to |
| Tx:9.17 | welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's time is borrowed from your | eternity. This is the Second Coming, which was made for you as the |
| Tx:9.36 | Miracles have no place in | eternity because they are reparative. Yet while you still need |
| Tx:9.36 | it. In time, the giving comes first, though they are simultaneous in | eternity, where they cannot be separated. When you have learned that |
| Tx:9.37 | Eternity is one time, its only dimension being “always.” This cannot | |
| Tx:9.59 | make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you. Time and | eternity are both in your mind and will conflict until you perceive |
| Tx:9.59 | will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain | eternity. You cannot do this as long as you believe that anything |
| Tx:9.106 | which is not of God, will remain with you. While this is not true in | eternity, it is true in time, so that while time lasts in your minds, |
| Tx:9.107 | If you would remember | eternity, you must learn to look only on the eternal. If you allow |
| Tx:9.107 | As always, your choice is determined by what you value. Time and | eternity cannot both be real, because they contradict each other. If |
| Tx:9.107 | accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to understand | eternity and make it yours. |
| Tx:10.7 | is denied. Your denial of its reality arrests it in time but not in | eternity. That is why your creations have not ceased to be extended |

| Tx:11.91 | Yet consider this: You are not guiltless in time, but in | eternity. You have “sinned” in the past, but there is no past. Always |

| Tx:12.30 | without past or future, that the beginning of the appreciation of | eternity lies. For only now is here, and it presents the |
| Tx:12.31 | regards the function of time as one of extending itself in place of | eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of |
| Tx:12.68 | need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in | eternity? In your world you do need things because it is a world of |
| Tx:12.76 | its eternal reign where sorrow dwells. You dwell not here, but in | eternity. You travel but in dreams while safe at home. Give thanks to |
| Tx:13.1 | the mind that knows this unequivocally knows also that it dwells in | eternity and utilizes no perception at all. It therefore does not |
| Tx:13.3 | gather them together by crowning them as one with the final gift of | eternity. |
| Tx:13.8 | alone. And suddenly time will be over, and we will all unite in the | eternity of God the Father. The holy light you saw outside yourself |
| Tx:13.44 | fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout | eternity. You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. |
| Tx:13.86 | first to His Son. The first in time means nothing, but the First in | eternity is God the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the |

| Tx:14.46 | of your minds in time but bring eternity nearer or farther. But | eternity itself is beyond all time. Reach out of time and touch it, |
| Tx:15.12 | for this instant, He stands ready to give you the remembrance of | eternity. |
| Tx:15.15 | you understands what time is for. Holiness lies not in time but in | eternity. There never was an instant in which God's Son could lose |
| Tx:15.15 | it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal instant that | eternity may be remembered for you in that shining instant of perfect |
| Tx:15.17 | you through the Teacher He has appointed to translate time into | eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach God's |
| Tx:15.40 | live forever in the holy instant, beginning now and reaching to | eternity, but for a very simple reason. Do not obscure the simplicity |
| Tx:15.55 | of needs, for there is only one. For the holy instant reaches to | eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only there love has |
| Tx:15.92 | does stand between them. Neither time nor season means anything in | eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's function to use them both, |
| Tx:16.42 | The bridge that He would carry you across lifts you from time into | eternity. Waken from time and answer fearlessly the call of Him Who |
| Tx:16.42 | Waken from time and answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave | eternity to you in your creation. On this side of the bridge to |
| Tx:17.8 | so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through time into | eternity and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you |
| Tx:17.37 | your attention on the picture. The holy instant is a miniature of | eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, set in a frame of time. If |
| Tx:17.37 | gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed from | eternity and set in time for you. |
| Tx:17.40 | The other picture is lightly framed, for time cannot contain | eternity. There is no distraction here. The picture of Heaven and |
| Tx:17.40 | eternity. There is no distraction here. The picture of Heaven and | eternity grows more convincing as you look at it. And now by real |
| Tx:17.51 | Is it not certain that you will remember a goal unchanged throughout | eternity? For you have chosen but the goal of God from which your |
| Tx:19.28 | you do not share His recognition of the difference between time and | eternity. And when correction is completed, time is eternity. |
| Tx:19.28 | between time and eternity. And when correction is completed, time is | eternity. |
| Tx:19.87 | you. The miracle of life is ageless, born in time but nourished in | eternity. Behold this infant to whom you gave a resting-place by your |
| Tx:20.37 | time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of | eternity. No one who has a single purpose, unified and sure, can be |
| Tx:20.38 | Each herald of | eternity sings of the end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of |
| Tx:20.41 | when one would do? There is but one. The little breath of | eternity that runs through time like golden light is all the same— |
| Tx:23.5 | into temptation. His glory is beyond it, measureless and timeless as | eternity. Do not let time intrude upon your sight of him. Leave him |
| Tx:24.51 | about His Son with passing circumstance, which has no meaning in | eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your brother is as He |
| Tx:24.55 | which seems to have no end until the truth be your decision. For | eternity is not regained by still one more denial of Christ in him. |
| Tx:24.67 | This is the state of true creation, found not within time, but in | eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor is there any way to |
| Tx:25.17 | God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and perfect in | eternity. |
| Tx:25.49 | he is safe, as he has always been and will remain in time and in | eternity alike. This is the function given each of you for one |
| Tx:25.65 | where love means hate and death is seen as victory and triumph over | eternity and timelessness and life? |
| Tx:26.31 | time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little hindrance to | eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the world. Yet |
| Tx:26.32 | Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon | eternity. And so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was |
| Tx:26.41 | The shadow voices do not change the laws of time or of | eternity. They come from what is past and gone and hinder not the |
| Tx:27.82 | perceives the dream as separate from himself and done to him. Into | eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad idea at which the |
| Tx:27.82 | laugh them both away and understand that time cannot intrude upon | eternity. It is a joke to think that time can come to circumvent |
| Tx:27.82 | eternity. It is a joke to think that time can come to circumvent | eternity, which means there is no time. |
| Tx:28.12 | effects. The instant's silence that His Son accepts gives welcome to | eternity and Him and lets Them enter where They would abide. For in |
| Tx:28.13 | image in the way of glad awakening to present peace. The trumpets of | eternity resound throughout the stillness, yet disturb it not. And |
| Tx:28.34 | open door. What is the world except a little gap perceived to tear | eternity apart and break it into days and months and years? And what |
| Tx:29.31 | still. There is a place in you which time has left, and echoes of | eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no sound except |
| Tx:29.58 | there be a gap in what is infinite, a place where time can interrupt | eternity? A place of darkness set where all is light, a dismal alcove |
| Tx:30.45 | is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine through all | eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant when its |
| Tx:30.60 | itself. Even the real world has a purpose still beneath creation and | eternity. But fear is gone because its purpose is forgiveness, not |

| W1:104.2 | time was and which will still be ours when time has passed into | eternity. |
| W1:105.5 | True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, | eternity to timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that |

| W1:140.3 | gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. And thus they cure for all | eternity. |
| W1:153.8 | mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its tiny instant for | eternity. |
| W1:157.1 | to shine upon and cast a timeless light upon this day when echoes of | eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new |
| W1:157.3 | way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into | eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every |
| W1:164.1 | in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time and sees | eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless busy |
| W1:165.2 | and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. | Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought |
| W1:169.6 | Father, as his Father has in him. The world has never been at all. | Eternity remains a constant state. |
| W1:169.7 | a point where time has ended when it is released to revelation and | eternity. |
| W1:190.8 | In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and time replace | eternity and Heaven. And the world becomes a cruel and a bitter |
| W2:I.10 | the way it started. Now it is complete. This year has brought us to | eternity. |
| W2:WS.5 | more to wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done, | eternity has shined away the world, and only Heaven now exists at all. |
| W2:234.1 | holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between | eternity and timelessness. So brief the interval, there was no lapse |
| W2:300.2 | endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to | eternity. |
| W2:329.1 | my will became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all | eternity. It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. Father, my |
| W2:346.1 | all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I will share | eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things |

| Tx:5.12 | God honored | even the miscreations of His Children because they had made them, but |

| Tx:5.41 | to conceal this part, it is still much stronger than the ego, | even though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit recognizes |
| Tx:5.44 | because it introduces meaning. It is, however, below knowledge | even though it can grow towards it. It is possible, with great |
| Tx:5.50 | act of sharing. That is what is meant when we said it is possible | even in this world to listen to one voice. If you are part of God and |

| Tx:6.35 | make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you that | even return is unnecessary because what never happened cannot involve |
| Tx:6.39 | That is its natural talent. The word “knows” is correct here, | even though the ego does not know and is not concerned with being at |
| Tx:6.59 | harm so much as what you need to learn to have joy. This is true | even of the world's teachers. Consider the confusion a child would |
| Tx:6.68 | step, and the only one you must take for yourself. It is not | even necessary that you complete the step yourself, but it is |
| Tx:6.70 | teach yourselves wrong. Many thought that I was attacking them, | even though it was quite apparent that I was not. An insane learner |
| Tx:7.1 | said that only in this respect your creative power differs from His. | Even in this world there is a parallel. Parents give birth to |
| Tx:7.12 | will hurt them, which cannot be true. But those who are for freedom, | even if they are misguided in how [they] defend it, are siding with |
| Tx:7.26 | teaching. You must therefore be teaching something else as well, | even though the ego does not know what it is. |
| Tx:7.36 | belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the laws of God, | even in a state of mind which is out of accord with His. The strength |
| Tx:7.99 | further elaboration here, but both are clearly indefensible, | even if you elect to defend them. |
| Tx:7.105 | you by God's decision. That is His Will, and you can not undo it. | Even the relinquishment of your false decision-making prerogative, |
| Tx:8.6 | They cannot choose one because they cannot relinquish the other, | even if the other does not exist. Their conflicted curriculum teaches |
| Tx:8.8 | As a teacher, then, it is totally confused and totally confusing. | Even if you could disregard the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite |
| Tx:8.26 | which is its illusion. I have told you that I am with you always, | even to the end of the world. That is why I am the light of the |
| Tx:8.48 | themselves or Him. Yet their thought is so powerful that they can | even imprison the mind of God's Son if they so choose. This choice |
| Tx:8.61 | In the world, not | even the body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen as |
| Tx:8.66 | of the body as a means of attack of any kind and to entertain | even the possibility that joy could possibly result is a clear-cut |
| Tx:8.78 | you seriously considered the distorting power of something you want, | even if it is not true? You have had many instances of how what you |
| Tx:8.82 | Wholeness heals because it is of the mind. All forms of sickness, | even unto death, are physical expressions of the fear of awakening. |
| Tx:8.85 | to make nothing out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, | even though it makes every effort to induce it. The ego wants only |
| Tx:8.103 | reality, though impossible, can be made into a very persistent goal, | even though you do not want it. But consider the result of this |
| Tx:8.108 | be the case, your attainment of it would no longer be what you want, | even if it is. This accounts for why certain specific forms of |
| Tx:8.108 | accounts for why certain specific forms of healing are not achieved, | even though the state of healing is. It frequently happens that an |
| Tx:9.15 | with it by now. The ego believes that all functions belong to it, | even though it has no idea what they are. This is more than mere |
| Tx:9.24 | It is noteworthy that this is a contradiction | even in the ego's terms, and one which it usually does note, even in |
| Tx:9.24 | even in the ego's terms, and one which it usually does note, | even in its confusion. If the way to counteract fear is to reduce the |
| Tx:9.31 | Him at all? If you inspire joy, and others react to you with joy | even though you are not experiencing joy yourself, there must be |
| Tx:9.34 | God is more than you only because He created you, but not | even this would He keep from you. Therefore you can create as He did, |
| Tx:9.41 | forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do, | even when you respond to the Holy Spirit, because at such times its |
| Tx:9.51 | of God's grandeur, because His grandeur establishes your freedom. | Even the faintest hint of your reality literally drives the ego from |
| Tx:9.65 | to happen did not happen at all. You do not think this mysterious, | even though all the laws of what you awakened to were violated while |
| Tx:9.68 | are afraid of your dissociation, not of what you have dissociated. | Even in this world's therapy, when dissociated material is accepted, |
| Tx:9.77 | Do not side with sickness in the presence of a Son of God | even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him |
| Tx:10.3 | thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the way. Yet | even the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. Bring |
| Tx:10.13 | capable of this? Your will is His Life, which He has given to you. | Even in time you cannot live apart from Him, for sleep is not death. |
| Tx:10.27 | God hides nothing from His Son, | even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot |
| Tx:10.45 | lies. The ego sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted | even your longing for God into a means of establishing itself. But do |
| Tx:10.48 | distant, emotionally shallow, callous, uninvolved, and | even desperate, but not really afraid. Minimizing fear but not its |
| Tx:10.75 | the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, | even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end of the world |
| Tx:11.28 | Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe | even for an instant that there is another answer. For you will surely |
| Tx:11.29 | self-hate, making him afraid of himself. He does not realize this. | Even if he is fully aware of anxiety, he does not perceive its source |
| Tx:11.33 | You were willing to accept | even death to deny your Father. Yet He would not have it so, and so |
| Tx:11.50 | learning and succeed, for that is your will. But you do not realize | even yet that there is something you do will to learn, and that you |
| Tx:11.81 | relinquished the insane desire to control reality. You who cannot | even control yourselves should hardly aspire to control the universe. |
| Tx:12.3 | you have betrayed God's Son by condemning him to death. You do not | even suspect this murderous but insane idea lies hidden there, for |
| Tx:12.8 | the release from guilt, and this is correct if it is understood. Yet | even when I have interpreted it for you, you have rejected it and |
| Tx:12.11 | You could look | even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not |
| Tx:12.11 | without the ego, you would find within yourself something you fear | even more. You are not afraid of crucifixion. Your real terror is of |
| Tx:12.12 | nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing to look | even upon your savage wish to kill God's Son if you did not believe |
| Tx:12.25 | circumstances, would it not be more desirable to have been wrong, | even apart from the fact that you were wrong? While it could perhaps |
| Tx:12.25 | there was life, no one would claim that it proves there is life. | Even the past life which death might indicate could only have been |
| Tx:12.25 | this. You could heal and be healed if you did question it. And | even though you know not Heaven, might it not be more desirable than |
| Tx:12.42 | not return unto the Father until He has extended your perception | even unto Him. And there perception is no more, for He has returned |
| Tx:12.57 | and have been faithful in your giving, for you were not alone. | Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real world for |
| Tx:12.61 | it not dear, for it is old and tired and ready to return to dust | even as you made it. This aching world has not the power to touch the |
| Tx:12.62 | Yet the real world has the power to touch you | even here because you love it. And what you call with love will come |

| Tx:13.2 | you is all knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is never complete. | Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can |
| Tx:13.4 | and that is why Christ's vision looks on everything with love. Yet | even Christ's vision is not His reality. The golden aspects of |

| Tx:13.34 | we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone can | even think on it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt |
| Tx:13.35 | Forgetfulness and sleep and | even death become the ego's best advice for how to deal with the |
| Tx:13.37 | sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought | even a dim imagining of what it is. |
| Tx:13.43 | you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn that | even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping |
| Tx:13.68 | Each day, each hour and minute, | even every second, you are deciding between the crucifixion and the |
| Tx:13.86 | you have acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be received, | even as God gave it first to His Son. The first in time means |
| Tx:14.2 | felt, apart from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly. You cannot | even give a blessing in perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who |
| Tx:14.21 | of language is communication, how can this tongue mean anything? Yet | even this strange and twisted effort to communicate through not |
| Tx:14.48 | You have experienced lack of competition among your thoughts, which, | even though they may conflict, can occur to you together and in great |
| Tx:14.59 | lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could | even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son, |
| Tx:14.63 | are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or | even think of you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure |
| Tx:15.3 | beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to find peace | even in the death it wants for you, it offers you immortality in |
| Tx:15.6 | ego teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell. | Even when it attacks so savagely that it tries to take the life of |
| Tx:15.6 | who hears it temporarily as the only voice, it speaks of hell | even to him. For it tells him hell is here and bids him leap from |
| Tx:15.6 | anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And | even there its only value is that it is no more. |
| Tx:15.18 | Himself to encompass you. You who have spent days, hours, and | even years in chaining your brothers to your egos in an attempt to |
| Tx:15.34 | before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches | even to Heaven because of what is given it. |
| Tx:15.51 | ego's use of relationships is so fragmented that it frequently goes | even further—one part of one aspect suits its purposes, while it |
| Tx:15.77 | in real relationship, so holy and so strong that it can overcome | even this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what |
| Tx:15.107 | condition of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, | even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as |
| Tx:16.14 | is true. But can you really believe that all that has happened, | even though you do not understand it, has not happened? Yet this is |
| Tx:16.23 | And yet, this Self you clearly do not know and do not recognize It | even though It functions. What functions must be there. And it is |
| Tx:16.44 | often quite open. Here they are usually judged to be acceptable and | even natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate together, |

| Tx:16.54 | and love has lost its meaning. Would you want this to be possible, | even apart from its evident impossibility? For if it were possible, |
| Tx:16.62 | Yet the special relationship which the ego seeks does not include | even one whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees |
| Tx:16.65 | and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no longer find | even the illusion of love in any special relationship here. For you |
| Tx:16.74 | does not seem to be an acting out of vengeance which you seek. And | even when the hatred and the savagery break briefly through into |
| Tx:17.7 | that made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you | even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For |
| Tx:17.11 | of your lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not | even what the Son of God made in insanity could be without a hidden |
| Tx:17.12 | home. And there he knows that he has always rested there in peace. | Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For |

| Tx:17.49 | a most explicit statement? Now He asks for faith a little longer, | even in bewilderment. For this will go, and you will see the |
| Tx:17.75 | coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not | even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and |
| Tx:18.42 | will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of faith and rising | even to Heaven. Nor will you use it to ascend to Heaven alone. |
| Tx:18.44 | is an undertaking impossible for you to understand. You do not | even realize you have accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, |
| Tx:18.46 | to deal with it alone. Never believe that this is necessary or | even possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally |
| Tx:18.60 | anything and anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and | even a general idea without specific reference. Yet in every case, |
| Tx:18.71 | you identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot | even think of God without a body or some form you think you recognize. |
| Tx:18.74 | Yet neither sun nor ocean is | even aware of all this strange and meaningless activity. They merely |
| Tx:18.74 | that they are feared and hated by a tiny segment of themselves. | Even that segment is not lost to them, for it could not survive apart |
| Tx:18.94 | Yet | even forgiveness is not the end. Forgiveness does make lovely, but it |
| Tx:19.19 | The Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can | even turn the power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. |
| Tx:19.50 | fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot | even see. |
| Tx:19.51 | their master calls upon them to serve him. For fear is merciless | even to its friends. Its messengers steal guiltily away in hungry |
| Tx:19.74 | of attack and guilt will someone other than yourself suffer. And | even if you suffer, yet someone else will suffer more. The great |
| Tx:19.87 | enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been given you, | even in its infancy, is in full communication with God and you. In |
| Tx:19.90 | and of the universe of universes and of everything that lies | even beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your |
| Tx:19.92 | in secret to the ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor | even to suspect that it is there. This is the secret bargain made |
| Tx:19.99 | is not enough. A journey without a purpose is still meaningless, and | even when it is over, it seems to make no sense. How can you know |
| Tx:20.39 | attempt to judge what lies so far beyond your judgment you cannot | even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you will never see |
| Tx:20.48 | And its relationships must be unholy, for what they are, it does not | even see. It wants them solely for the offerings on which its idols |
| Tx:20.50 | condemnation. For here is love made fearful and hope abandoned. | Even the idols that are worshiped here are shrouded in mystery and |
| Tx:21.17 | for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and | even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is given |
| Tx:21.42 | alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot | even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to look inward, for |
| Tx:21.73 | not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this will shift | even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find another and never |
| Tx:21.73 | treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes so it is impossible | even to recognize him! |
| Tx:21.86 | is a condition quite alien to your understanding. Yet if you could | even imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you |
| Tx:22.40 | Yet it is almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached you | even here before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of |
| Tx:22.52 | that anyone who chooses this has no idea of what is valuable. Yet | even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the Holy |
| Tx:23.24 | believe; and how He must respond, believing it. It is not seen as | even necessary that He be asked about the truth of what has been |
| Tx:23.52 | darkened and murderous, remember you can see the battle from above. | Even in forms you do not recognize, the signs you know. There is a |
| Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible | even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it out of |
| Tx:24.29 | by everything that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or | even lives at all. Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe |
| 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, |
| Tx:24.71 | become the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not | even like, but still a means to offer to the “father” what he wants. |
| Tx:24.72 | difference does not lie in how they look, nor where they go, nor | even what they do. They have a different purpose. It is this that |
| Tx:25.26 | error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son, | even in error. There is another purpose in the world that error made |
| Tx:25.33 | effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. | Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring |
| Tx:26.44 | give? Who can believe illusions are the same and still maintain that | even one is best? |
| Tx:27.21 | in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, | even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And |
| Tx:27.26 | In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you will not | even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside yourself on |
| Tx:27.30 | thought, where half is canceled out by the remaining half. Yet | even this is quickly contradicted by the half it canceled out, and so |
| Tx:27.40 | A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the answer | even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a form of |
| Tx:27.72 | between your dreams and your reality. The little gap you do not | even see, the birthplace of illusions and of fear, the time of terror |
| Tx:27.78 | tosses them away for senseless things it does not need and does not | even want. It hires other bodies, that they may protect it, and |
| Tx:29.37 | dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and separation, | even though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in |
| Tx:29.42 | body only if you think 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 |
| Tx:29.59 | more of what—more beauty, more intelligence, more wealth, or | even more affliction and more pain. But more of something is an idol |
| Tx:30.15 | 4. If you are so unwilling to receive you cannot | even let your question go, you can begin to change your mind with |
| Tx:30.56 | asks so little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And | even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. |
| Tx:30.60 | knows how this can be, for understanding this is Heaven itself. | Even the real world has a purpose still beneath creation and |
| Tx:31.3 | There is no greater power in the world. The world was made by it and | even now depends on nothing else. The lessons you have taught |
| Tx:31.3 | your will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and | even you are someone else. |
| Tx:31.44 | the aspect acted on. It is this face that smiles and charms and | even seems to love. It searches for companions, and it looks at times |
| Tx:31.51 | what proof there is that you are what your brother made of you. For | even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you |
| Tx:31.52 | That you are what your brother made of you seems most unlikely. | Even if he did, who gave the face of innocence to you? Is this your |
| W1:I.5 | to apply them to what you see. You are not asked to judge them nor | even to believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use |
| W1:10.8 | period be extended, and it should be reduced to half a minute or | even less if you experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat |
| W1:11.3 | in particular. The words, however, should be used in an unhurried, | even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this idea should be |
| W1:12.2 | markedly longer or shorter, but try, instead, to keep a measured, | even tempo throughout. What you see does not matter. You teach |
| W1:12.9 | today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You may find | even this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you experience a |
| W1:13.8 | recognizing. Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and try not | even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That will |
| W1:14.3 | which can truly be called salvation, can be quite difficult and | even quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly into fear. |
| W1:17.9 | recommended and no less than three are required for maximum benefit | even if you experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of |
| W1:18.7 | A minute or so or | even less will be sufficient. |
| W1:19.2 | seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility and may | even be regarded as an “invasion of privacy.” Yet it is a fact that |
| W1:20.1 | time for undertaking them, minimal effort has been required, and not | even active cooperation and interest have been asked. This casual |
| W1:23.4 | can light your images and so transform them that you will love them | even though they were made of hate. For you will not be making them |
| W1:24.7 | as many different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur to you, | even if some of them do not appear to you to be directly related to |
| W1:24.7 | them do not appear to you to be directly related to the situation or | even to be inherent in it at all. |
| W1:27.6 | to it throughout the day. It will not be difficult to do this, | even if you are engaged in conversation or otherwise occupied at the |
| W1:29.2 | this point. You may find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, and | even objectionable. Certainly God is not in a table, for example, as |
| W1:30.1 | it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw before be | even faintly visible to you. |
| W1:41.7 | easy because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might | even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open |
| W1:41.7 | that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results | even the first time it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is |
| W1:44.10 | correctly, you should experience some sense of relaxation and | even a feeling that you are approaching if not actually entering into |
| W1:45.11 | be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to go. Yet | even with the little understanding you have already gained, you |
| W1:54.4 | seeing. If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private world. | Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it could form |
| W1:66.4 | happiness. Therefore the function He gave you must be happiness, | even if it appears to be different. Today's exercises are an attempt |
| W1:66.7 | Try to see the logic in this sequence, | even if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the first |
| W1:67.7 | with false self-images. Four or five times an hour, and perhaps | even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love |
| W1:68.5 | will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed | even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation |
| W1:68.6 | the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and | even think you love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no |
| W1:74.12 | There is definite gain in refusing to allow retreat into withdrawal, | even if you do not experience the peace you seek. |
| W1:76.9 | Perhaps you | even think that there are laws which set forth what is God's and what |
| W1:78.5 | the grievances aside and look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and | even hate; someone you think you love who angers you; someone you |
| W1:78.7 | and better points as well, and we will think of his mistakes and | even of his “sins.” |
| W1:79.1 | A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. | Even if it is really solved already, you will still have the problem |
| W1:79.2 | problem has been solved if he thinks the problem is something else? | Even if he is given the answer, he cannot see its relevance. |
| W1:91.2 | light is to perceive darkness. The light is useless to you then, | even though it is there. You cannot use it because its presence is |
| W1:93.12 | You may not be willing or | even able to use the first five minutes of each hour for these |
| W1:107.2 | Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe | even less—when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were |
| W1:108.1 | and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? | Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will |
| W1:R3.9 | to be done throughout the day are equally important and perhaps of | even greater value. You have been inclined to practice only at |
| W1:129.4 | Yet | even they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for |
| W1:133.9 | deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not | even tell the truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo |
| W1:136.3 | of the rapidity with which you choose to use them. In that second, | even less, in which the choice is made, you recognize exactly what |
| W1:138.4 | are confronting you when there is really only one to make. And | even this but seems to be a choice. Do not confuse yourself with all |
| W1:151.2 | you through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, | even though you learned a long while since your senses do deceive. |
| W1:151.2 | That you believe them to the last detail which they report is | even stranger when you pause to recollect how frequently they have |
| W1:153.16 | faithful to the will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, | even less, will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. |
| W1:153.18 | goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind away from Him a moment, | even though your time is spent in offering salvation to the world. |
| W1:155.2 | and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their own reality is | even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. What other |
| W1:157.9 | with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, | even this, the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained |
| W1:163.7 | The idea of the death of God is so preposterous that | even the insane have difficulty in believing it. For it implies that |
| W1:166.4 | not realize he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and | even who he really is. |
| W1:166.9 | has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You | even think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your |
| W1:167.2 | not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and suffering and pain, | even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest |
| W1:167.10 | in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide | even an instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by God |
| W1:169.6 | We cannot speak nor write nor | even think of this at all. It comes to every mind when total |
| W1:170.7 | out relentlessly to those who ask if the demands are sensible or | even sane. It is their enemies who are unreasonable and insane, while |
| W1:181.4 | also been dismayed by the depressing and restricting thought that, | even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose your way again. |
| W1:182.11 | without existence. Christ has called you friend and brother. He has | even come to you to ask your help in letting Him go home completed |
| W1:183.1 | turn for their identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, | even within a world that does not know; even though you have not |
| W1:183.1 | reminds you who you are, even within a world that does not know; | even though you have not remembered it. |
| W1:186.14 | here as it is needed. In this form, you can fulfill your function | even here, although what love will mean to you when formlessness has |
| W1:192.3 | Creation cannot | even be conceived of in the world. It has no meaning here. |
| W1:194.3 | upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In no one instant can one | even die. And so each instant given unto God in passing, with the |
| W1:194.3 | given Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and | even death itself. |
| W1:195.2 | suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness. Nor could the | even partly sane refuse to take the steps which He directs and follow |
| W1:195.8 | see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, | even as your Self. |
| W1:196.6 | this thought is true. And he will not perceive its foolishness nor | even see that it is there so that it would be possible to question it. |
| W1:199.8 | Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings | even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time |
| W2:251.1 | only what I need. All that I sought before I needed not and did not | even want. My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I |
| W2:253.1 | It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. | Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what |
| W2:273.1 | tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and | even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If |
| W2:300.1 | who come here. For their joys are gone before they are possessed, or | even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception |
| W2:334.1 | my Father offers me. Illusions must be vain and dreams are gone, | even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false |
| W2:345.1 | one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. | Even here it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. |
| W2:355.1 | treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. | Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an |
| M:1.1 | light, but that is enough. He has entered an agreement with God | even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of |
| M:2.3 | the course emphasizes, you are not free to choose the curriculum or | even the form in which you will learn it. You are free, however, to |
| M:2.4 | to an instant so ancient that it is beyond all memory and past | even the possibility of remembering. Yet because it is an instant |
| M:3.2 | for bumping into him; perhaps the students will become friends. | Even at the level of the most casual encounter, it is possible for |
| M:3.5 | necessarily recognize this; in fact, they generally do not. They may | even be quite hostile to each other for some time, and perhaps for |
| M:3.5 | lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may | even seem to fail. No teacher of God can fail to find the Help he |
| M:4.12 | wish to deceive that makes for war. No one at one with himself can | even conceive of conflict. Conflict is the inevitable result of |
| M:4.20 | whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time. | Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his past |
| M:5.8 | and they obey. They have no idea how insane this concept is. If they | even suspected it, they would be healed. Yet they suspect nothing. To |
| M:6.1 | depression, and a sense of loss so deep that the patient might | even try to destroy himself. Having nothing to live for, he may ask |
| M:10.1 | is “good judgment” to one is “bad judgment” to another. Further, | even the same person classifies the same action as showing “good” |
| M:12.1 | who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or | even as in a body. Therefore He is limitless. And being limitless, |
| M:12.3 | to the deluded. Only a very few can hear God's Voice at all, and | even they cannot communicate His messages directly through the Spirit |
| M:14.2 | the world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor | even touched. It will merely cease to seem to be. |
| M:15.4 | given you and your best efforts meet with lack of appreciation and | even contempt, give up these foolish thoughts. They are too small and |
| M:16.11 | —that it works. All through his training, every day and hour, and | even every minute and second, must God's teachers learn to recognize |
| M:17.4 | aroused. It may be merely slight irritation, perhaps too mild to be | even clearly recognized. Or it may also take the form of intense rage |
| M:17.8 | interpretation and not a fact, it is never justified. Once this is | even dimly grasped, the way is open. Now it is possible to take the |
| M:18.5 | of God to let all his own mistakes be corrected. If he senses | even the faintest hint of irritation in himself as he responds to |
| M:19.2 | rise to meet one as he travels on, be foretold from the outset. Yet | even these, whose splendor reaches indescribable heights as one |
| M:20.4 | you have picked it up again. But you will learn, as you remember | even faintly now what happiness was yours without it, that you must |

| M:23.1 | God's gifts can rarely be received directly. | Even the most advanced of God's teachers will give way to temptation |
| M:24.5 | is that birth was not the beginning and death is not the end. Yet | even this much is not required of the beginner. He need merely accept |
| M:25.1 | that seem quite startling to him. Yet nothing he can do can compare | even in the slightest with the glorious surprise of remembering who |

| W1:32.3 | Again we will begin the practice periods for the morning and | evening by repeating the idea for today two or three times while |
| W1:33.1 | aspects. A full five minutes should be devoted to the morning and | evening application. |
| W1:34.2 | required for today's exercises. One in the morning and one in the | evening are advised, with an additional one to be undertaken at any |

| W2:346.2 | And when the | evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. |

| W1:31.3 | dwell on any one in particular, but try to let the stream move on | evenly and calmly, without any special investment on your part. As |

| Tx:29.28 | represents some function which you have assigned, some goal which an | event, or body, or a thing should represent and should achieve for |
| W1:4.3 | the idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or | event it contains. For example: |
| W1:5.1 | like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation, or | event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to |
| W1:20.5 | The extra repetitions should be applied to any situation, person, or | event which upsets you. You can see them differently, and you will. |
| W1:38.9 | concerning you or someone else arises or comes to mind. In that | event, use the more specific form of application. |
| W1:46.13 | of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or not. In this | event, tell him silently, |
| W1:71.2 | else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or | event were changed, you would be saved. Thus the source of salvation |

| Tx:27.79 | takes many forms and seems to show a great variety of places and | events wherein its “hero” finds itself, the dream has but one |
| Tx:27.80 | but the dream. And so you wander idly in and out of places and | events which it contrives. That this is all the body does is true, |
| Tx:28.4 | memory, for God Himself is there. Yet this is not a memory of past | events, but only of a present state. You are so long accustomed to |
| Tx:29.16 | appear to change with time, with sickness or with health, and with | events that seem to alter it. Yet this but means the mind remains |
| Tx:30.84 | Only a constant purpose can endow | events with stable meaning. But it must accord one meaning to them |
| Tx:30.85 | it everywhere, unchanged by circumstance. And so you offer it to all | events, and let them offer you stability. |
| Tx:30.87 | entails the loss of your ability to see relationships among | events. And looked at separately, they have no meaning. For there is |
| W1:34.3 | thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, “offending” personalities or | events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving |
| W1:35.8 | way. They will occur to you as various situations, personalities and | events in which you figure cross your mind. Pick up any specific |
| W1:39.7 | Specific situations, | events, or personalities you associate with unloving thoughts of any |
| W1:43.15 | should also be applied throughout the day to various situations and | events which may occur, particularly to those which distress you in |
| W1:70.10 | past—in other people, in possessions, in various situations and | events, and in self-concepts which you sought to make real. Recognize |
| W1:135.16 | to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from past | events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests |
| W1:135.19 | you not accept if you but knew that everything that happens, all | events, past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose |
| W1:158.7 | it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings, and all | events without the slightest fading of the light it sees. |
| W1:167.9 | never has occurred, the changes wrought are substanceless, and all | events are nowhere. When the mind awakes, it but continues as it |

| Tx:8.90 | Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has | ever made. This could not possibly have occurred unless the mind were |
| Tx:8.105 | then, that God's Will is already possible and nothing else will | ever be. This is the simple acceptance of reality, because only this |
| Tx:8.107 | Everyone who has | ever tried to use prayer to request something has experienced what |
| Tx:8.109 | it is equally certain that no response given by the Holy Spirit will | ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His answer |

| Tx:9.89 | it of them. All this has never been. Nothing but the laws of God has | ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever be. You were |

| Tx:10.62 | and it has been accomplished in you. This is as true now as it will | ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which knows no time |
| Tx:10.62 | unto the Father together, as it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His Father |
| Tx:10.70 | Every loving thought that the Son of God | ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in this world are |
| Tx:11.55 | it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will | ever have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you. As |
| Tx:12.12 | deeper than the ego's foundation, and much stronger than it will | ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, and His for you. |
| Tx:12.71 | you will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is | ever on the journey's end which is His goal. God's Son is not a |
| Tx:13.6 | blends quietly into the One Reality of God. The only miracle that | ever was is God's most holy Son, created in the One Reality that is |
| Tx:13.27 | much his Father loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has | ever thought his Father loved him not and looked upon him as |
| Tx:13.31 | upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his Father that no guilt has | ever touched him. |
| Tx:13.32 | No illusion that you have | ever held against him has touched his innocence in any way. His |
| Tx:13.36 | you made not a war that could endanger freedom. Nothing destructive | ever was or will be. The war, the guilt, the past are gone as one |

| Tx:13.78 | against your peace as surely as you made the wrong decision in | ever thinking that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to |
| Tx:13.79 | Who has remembered you. For it is quite impossible that He could | ever let His Son drop from His loving mind wherein he was created and |
| Tx:13.89 | them. When you release them, they are gone. God will not fail nor | ever has in anything. |
| Tx:14.2 | is nothing on earth with which it can compare and nothing you have | ever felt, apart from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly. You |
| Tx:14.2 | and nothing you have ever felt, apart from Him, that resembles it | ever so faintly. You cannot even give a blessing in perfect |
| Tx:14.60 | Your learning gives the present no meaning at all. Nothing you have | ever learned can help you understand the present or teach you how to |
| Tx:14.67 | Son can make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him | ever so little. Yet He cannot compel His Son to turn to Him and |
| Tx:14.74 | abandon, for it is not His Will to do so. With your perfection | ever in His sight, He gives the gift of peace to everyone who |
| Tx:15.23 | and accept it gladly, that there is no form of littleness that can | ever content you. You are free to try as many as you wish, but all |
| Tx:15.63 | nothing else, you could not be in full communication with all that | ever was. Yet as long as you prefer to be something else, or would |
| Tx:15.67 | As we bring it to light, your only question will be why it was you | ever wanted it. You have nothing to lose by looking open-eyed at |
| Tx:15.82 | Himself not from you, He withheld not His creation. Nothing that | ever was created but is yours. Your relationships are with the |
| Tx:15.91 | reality of this relationship becomes the only truth that you could | ever want. All truth is here. |
| Tx:15.109 | with Him, and with Him they remember the only relationship they | ever had and ever want to have. |
| Tx:15.109 | and with Him they remember the only relationship they ever had and | ever want to have. |
| Tx:16.19 | problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you | ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything yourself and been |
| Tx:16.25 | You who are host to God are also host to them. For nothing real has | ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not real was never |
| Tx:16.53 | over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is never completed nor | ever will be completed. For the ritual of completion cannot complete, |
| Tx:16.58 | unreal. This year is thus the time to make the easiest decision that | ever confronted you and also the only one. You will cross the bridge |
| Tx:16.81 | with You in which there are no illusions and where none can | ever enter. Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs |
| Tx:17.7 | beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you | ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or |
| Tx:17.7 | that you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy has | ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will |
| Tx:17.9 | This step, the smallest | ever taken by anything, is still the greatest accomplishment of all |
| Tx:17.10 | that has been used for learning will have no function. Nothing will | ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations |
| Tx:17.12 | have no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could | ever be need of salvation? |
| Tx:17.21 | you. Its loveliness will so attract you that you will be unwilling | ever to lose the sight of it again. And you will let it transform the |
| Tx:17.24 | rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the past could | ever offer to the present as witnesses for its reality, while what is |
| Tx:17.29 | answer with a substitute. Every special relationship which you have | ever undertaken has as its fundamental purpose the aim of occupying |
| Tx:17.72 | there was extended to every situation in which you enter or will | ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the past, which |
| Tx:18.4 | truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you | ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. Everything you see |
| Tx:18.4 | you see reflects it, and every special relationship which you have | ever made is part of it. |
| Tx:18.9 | as you are with Him. The original error has not entered here, nor | ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:18.20 | The Holy Spirit, | ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses them as |
| Tx:18.27 | The Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you | ever had or ever were. |
| Tx:18.27 | of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever had or | ever were. |
| Tx:18.56 | you within it, and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or | ever. |
| Tx:19.55 | garden where no sound but singing and a softly joyous whispering is | ever heard. This is a feast which honors your holy relationship and |
| Tx:20.12 | Your home has called to you since time began, nor have you | ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to look nor |
| Tx:20.42 | instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that it | ever held or will ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing |
| Tx:20.42 | point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or will | ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and the |
| Tx:21.11 | the body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will | ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son of |
| Tx:21.32 | where your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only one He | ever sees. And when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His |
| Tx:21.83 | do so if he does not see he does it. And if he sees his happiness as | ever changing, now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached |
| Tx:22.9 | to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it | ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand. |
| Tx:22.21 | be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of | ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but |
| Tx:23.9 | that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will | ever meet. You seem to meet and make your strange alliances on |
| Tx:23.54 | and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could | ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground |
| Tx:23.54 | and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can | ever mar your certainty? And that will last forever? |
| Tx:24.5 | All that is | ever cherished as a hidden belief, to be defended though |
| Tx:24.29 | you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can | ever be the same while specialness stands like a flaming sword of |
| Tx:24.37 | by the truth. They will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has | ever been in them that you would keep the gift your Father asks from |
| Tx:25.12 | does despair result. And there is no exception, nor will there | ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you learn it |
| Tx:25.13 | your choice, while you would seek for hope where none is | ever found. |
| Tx:25.18 | light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was | ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of death. God kept it |
| Tx:25.36 | Heaven. Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that | ever sang will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed |
| Tx:25.36 | bird that ever sang will sing again in you. And every flower that | ever bloomed has saved its perfume and its loveliness for you. What |
| Tx:25.52 | one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God | ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true, then |
| Tx:26.21 | is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will | ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final |
| Tx:26.31 | Nothing is | ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little |
| Tx:26.32 | first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it | ever was. What God gave Answer to is answered and is gone. |
| Tx:26.62 | His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus will it | ever be. |
| Tx:26.80 | every living thing and lifts it into Heaven, where the lights grow | ever brighter as each one comes home. The incomplete is made complete |
| Tx:27.6 | he has 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 |
| Tx:27.6 | 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 his heart |
| Tx:27.6 | had effects of any kind; that no reproach he laid upon his heart was | ever justified, and no attack can ever touch him with the poisoned |
| Tx:27.6 | he laid upon his heart was ever justified, and no attack can | ever touch him with the poisoned and relentless sting of fear. Attest |
| Tx:27.18 | Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will | ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you |
| Tx:27.34 | vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which the eyes have | ever seen or ears have heard remains to be perceived. |
| Tx:27.38 | that could be found. Nowhere outside a single simple question is | ever asked. The world can only ask a double question with many |
| Tx:27.73 | are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor | ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified |
| Tx:27.79 | the time of birth to dying is the theme of every dream the world has | ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor will its |
| 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 to be the cause of |
| Tx:29.55 | in fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he | ever will be real. |
| Tx:30.32 | that makes decision powerful and gives it all effects that it will | ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined before there can be |
| Tx:30.33 | consent, as you would have it be. And not one Thought that God has | ever had but waited for your blessing to be born. God is no enemy to |
| Tx:30.34 | is to do your will! For that is freedom. There is nothing else that | ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your will, you |
| Tx:30.45 | was not there; no instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect | ever was. |
| Tx:30.55 | happy dream? It asks you but that you forgive all things that no one | ever did, to overlook what is not there, and not to look upon the |
| Tx:30.56 | have no need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could | ever want. He is delivered from illusions by his will and but |
| Tx:30.65 | and all fear. Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you | ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the world! But not to sacrifice. |
| Tx:30.67 | of guilt. Not one was bought except at cost of pain, nor was it | ever paid by you alone. |
| Tx:30.72 | Unjustified forgiveness is attack. And this is all the world can | ever give. It pardons “sinners” sometimes but remains aware that they |
| Tx:30.90 | and has no effects which anything in Heaven or on earth could | ever alter. But appearances are shown to be unreal because they |
| Tx:31.3 | the lessons endlessly in every form you could conceive of them could | ever doubt the power of your learning skill. There is no greater |
| Tx:31.7 | of happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that | ever will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and |
| Tx:31.12 | Let us be still an instant and forget all things we | ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception which we |
| Tx:31.12 | of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that | ever crossed your mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you |
| Tx:31.22 | Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you | ever learned before and put aside all images you made. The old will |
| Tx:31.39 | Think not that happiness is | ever found by following a road away from it. This makes no sense and |
| Tx:31.53 | upon this concept of the self. And both would go if either one were | ever raised to doubt. The Holy Spirit does not seek to throw you into |
| Tx:31.64 | world your eyes could never find. Be not concerned how this could | ever be. You do not understand how what you see arose to meet your |
| Tx:31.77 | For God has given you His Son to save from every concept that he | ever held. |
| W1:23.1 | The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will | ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. |
| W1:29.3 | today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could | ever have found it difficult. |
| W1:39.4 | Your holiness is the answer to every question that was | ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your |
| W1:44.6 | If you can stand aside from the ego by | ever so little, you will have no difficulty in recognizing that its |
| W1:66.12 | today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also whether it was | ever reasonable to expect happiness from anything the ego ever |
| W1:66.12 | it was ever reasonable to expect happiness from anything the ego | ever proposed. Yet the ego is the only alternative to the Holy |
| W1:68.5 | to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even by | ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever |
| W1:68.5 | even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation | ever again. |
| W1:94.1 | sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world | ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation |
| W1:106.4 | miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as those you | ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They |
| W1:109.2 | is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world and everyone who | ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the |
| W1:121.1 | you at every turn and bring uncertainty to all your hopes of | ever finding quietness and peace. Here are all questions answered; |
| W1:124.6 | No miracle can | ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No |
| W1:124.10 | to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time was | ever better spent. |
| W1:130.10 | perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have | ever seen before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made |
| W1:132.2 | mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or | ever thought or yet will think. |
| W1:132.9 | indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you | ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it |
| W1:132.9 | dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you | ever held of death. |
| W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we | ever held about it and about all living things we see upon it. They |
| W1:135.19 | did not let you see His loving blessing shine in every step you | ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to |
| W1:135.26 | in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you | ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks |
| W1:137.10 | extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that | ever caused you pain. And as you let yourself be healed, you see all |
| W1:137.16 | the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that | ever were imagined. Now we come together to make well all that was |
| W1:152.8 | will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there | ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the place of |
| W1:165.2 | The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you | ever been apart from It an instant. It belongs to you. By It you |
| W1:182.3 | cannot be made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All he | ever made was hell. |
| W1:185.12 | attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that | ever seemed to take the place of truth. |
| W1:189.7 | bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you | ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this |
| W1:190.11 | And so again we make the only choice that | ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the truth, or pain |
| W1:195.6 | thing and therefore one with Him. And we rejoice that no exceptions | ever can be made which would reduce our wholeness nor impair or |
| W1:195.10 | the way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than you could | ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one |
| W1:197.9 | forgot the function God has given you. But never think that He has | ever ceased to offer thanks to you. |
| W1:198.6 | will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that | ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and |
| W1:198.13 | an instant longer. Then are symbols done and everything you | ever thought you made completely vanished from the mind which God |
| W2:231.1 | have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek or | ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want |
| W2:231.1 | thing I seek or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could | ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I |
| W2:234.1 | nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has | ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. |
| W2:252.1 | perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have | ever looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds |
| W2:281.1 | is as You created him. Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If | ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think and put |
| W2:WISC.4 | one event in time which time itself cannot affect. For everyone who | ever came to die or yet will come or who is present now is equally |
| W2:WILJ.3 | on all your errors, freeing you from them and all effects they | ever seemed to have. To fear God's saving grace is but to fear |
| W2:344.1 | treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing | ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an |
| W2:FL.6 | for these are His own Words to you. And more than that can no one | ever have, for in these Words is all there is and all that there will |
| M:4.7 | unless the next obvious step is taken. The third step is rarely if | ever begun until the second is complete. Therefore, the period of |
| M:10.4 | you know how many times you merely thought you were right, without | ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose such an arbitrary |
| M:12.1 | And being limitless, His Thoughts are joined with God's forever and | ever. His perception of Himself is based upon God's Judgment, not His |
| M:22.4 | sick. Perhaps he can accept the idea in theory, but it is rarely, if | ever, consistently applied to all specific forms of sickness, both in |

| Tx:26.38 | whose accomplishment can only be unreal. Such is the justice your | ever-loving Father has ensured must come to you. And from your own |

| Tx:20.54 | walk together, leaving the body thankfully behind and resting in the | Everlasting Arms. Love's arms are open to receive you and give you |
| Tx:24.24 | of sanity upon illusions, safe from God, and safe for conflict | everlasting. Here are the gates of hell you closed upon yourself, to |
| Tx:25.4 | join and raise Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of His | everlasting Love. |
| Tx:29.23 | that he would keep beside him as he walks through darkness to the | everlasting light. |
| Tx:29.37 | yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams unto the peace of | everlasting life. |
| W1:124.2 | with itself. How easily do errors disappear and death give place to | everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for |
| W1:124.13 | I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in | everlasting holiness and peace. |
| W1:134.5 | to truth. Guilt cannot be forgiven. If you sin, your guilt is | everlasting. Those who are forgiven from the view their sins are real |
| W1:136.10 | overcome your choice to die. And so the body is more powerful than | everlasting life, Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for |
| W1:151.8 | The Voice of God can only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect, | everlasting sinlessness. Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, |
| W1:159.10 | to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and | everlasting sanctity in God. |
| W1:165.2 | your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and | everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought of God has |
| W2:WIW.5 | through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die be restored to | Everlasting Life. |

| Tx:1.88 | Equality does not imply homogeneity now. When | everyone recognizes that he has everything, individual contributions |
| Tx:1.88 | Children have His total love, and all His gifts are freely given to | everyone alike. “Except ye become as little children” means that, |
| Tx:1.105 | one body to another, because the real vision is still so dim. | Everyone can use his body best by enlarging man's perception so he |
| Tx:2.35 | to clarify after the value of the goal itself is firmly established. | Everyone defends his own treasure. You do not have to tell him to do |
| Tx:2.36 | defense which cannot be used destructively. That is because, while | everyone must eventually join it, it is not a device which was |
| Tx:2.47 | The acceptance of the Atonement by | everyone is only a matter of time. In fact, both time and matter were |

| Tx:3.61 | there will be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense that | everyone is much better off without judgment. When the Bible says, |
| Tx:3.70 | Peace is a natural heritage of the Soul. | Everyone is free to refuse to accept his inheritance, but he is not |
| Tx:3.70 | is not free to establish what his inheritance is. The problem which | everyone must decide is the fundamental question of authorship. All |

| Tx:5.28 | Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. | Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship |
| Tx:6.2 | since an extreme example is a particularly helpful learning device. | Everyone teaches and teaches all the time. This is a responsibility |
| Tx:6.47 | know. The Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers. | Everyone has called upon Him for help at one time or another and in |
| Tx:6.47 | Holy Spirit answers truly, He answers for all time, which means that | everyone has the answer now. |
| Tx:6.71 | in it therefore perceive this as an attack on them. This is because | everyone identifies himself with his thought system, and every |
| Tx:7.22 | The ego does not want to teach | everyone all it has learned, because that would defeat its purpose. |
| Tx:7.41 | Healing is the one ability which | everyone can develop and must develop if he is to be healed. Healing |
| Tx:7.42 | always tries to weaken. Healing perceives nothing in the healer that | everyone else does not share with him. Magic always sees something |
| Tx:7.53 | is the true communion of the Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in | everyone and, by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to |
| Tx:7.80 | see it everywhere, because it is everywhere. See His abundance in | everyone, and you will know that you are in Him with them. They are |
| Tx:7.95 | of every Son of God are yours since every creation belongs to | everyone, being created for the Sonship as a whole. |

| Tx:8.15 | you acknowledge this, you bring the acknowledgment automatically to | everyone, because you have acknowledged everyone. By your recognition |
| Tx:8.15 | automatically to everyone, because you have acknowledged | everyone. By your recognition you awaken theirs, and through theirs |
| Tx:8.20 | teacher you choose, is know thyself. There is nothing else to learn. | Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and glory he thinks |
| Tx:8.99 | Ultimately | everyone must remember the Will of God, because ultimately everyone |

| Tx:8.107 | Everyone who has ever tried to use prayer to request something has | |
| Tx:8.113 | prayers lies in them. You will be answered as you hear the answer in | everyone. Do not listen to anything else, or you will not hear truth. |
| Tx:8.118 | and you can give to Him only where you see Him. If you see Him in | everyone, consider how much you will be asking of Him and how much |
| Tx:8.118 | because His answer is all you can ask for and want. Say, then, to | everyone, |
| Tx:9.81 | always receive as much as you accept. You could accept peace now for | everyone you meet and offer them perfect freedom from all illusions |
| Tx:10.58 | for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him. | Everyone convinces you of what you want to perceive and of the |
| Tx:10.62 | and your life. You live in me because you live in God. And | everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can you, then, |
| Tx:10.62 | because you live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you live in | everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother and not |
| Tx:10.65 | the crucifixion of God's Son is the work of the redemption, in which | everyone has a part of equal value. God does not judge His blameless |
| Tx:11.29 | the ego is to attack yourself and make yourself poor. That is why | everyone who identifies with the ego feels deprived. What he |
| Tx:11.30 | is merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for | everyone believes that identification is salvation. Yet consider what |
| Tx:11.36 | its central teaching. It never puts it this way; on the contrary, | everyone who believes that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged |
| Tx:11.58 | light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead | everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self. |
| Tx:11.59 | and becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to | everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. When |
| Tx:11.61 | Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to | everyone the Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child |
| Tx:11.62 | Everyone in the world must play his part in the redemption of the | |
| Tx:11.93 | He has always sought his guiltlessness, and he has found it. For | everyone is seeking to escape from the prison he has made, and the |
| Tx:12.37 | If you see your own hatred as your brother, you are not seeing him. | Everyone draws nigh unto what he loves and recoils from what he |
| Tx:12.46 | because it is delusional. When you have learned to look upon | everyone with no reference at all to the past, either his or yours as |
| Tx:12.47 | cloud of guilt has risen to obscure Him, and He stands revealed in | everyone you meet because you see Him through Himself. To be born |
| Tx:12.54 | its witnesses, for having given light to them, they will return it. | Everyone you see in light brings your light closer to your own |
| Tx:13.5 | aspect is the same, perceived in the same light and therefore one. | Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the end of |
| Tx:13.7 | and your Father's gift you cannot lose. Offer Christ's gift to | everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered the Son of God through |
| Tx:13.16 | itself. Project it not, for while you do, it cannot be undone. With | everyone whom you release from guilt, great is the joy in Heaven, |
| Tx:13.24 | the past and give your mind in peace over to the Atonement. When | everyone is welcome to you as you would have yourself be welcome to |
| Tx:13.46 | and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit offers to | everyone for the salvation of everyone will not be perfectly |
| Tx:13.46 | the plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of | everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, |
| Tx:13.69 | to your happiness that comes from choosing to be free of guilt. | Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you attack keeps |
| Tx:13.69 | to be free of guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. | Everyone you attack keeps it and cherishes it by holding it against |
| Tx:13.71 | is invulnerability. Therefore, make your invulnerability manifest to | everyone, and teach him that whatever he may try to do to you, your |
| Tx:13.80 | for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His answer to | everyone who struggles in the dark. For you decide for them and for |
| Tx:13.81 | reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for | everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone |
| Tx:13.81 | for everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And | everyone will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole |
| Tx:13.81 | the sole responsibility for deciding what can bring only good to | everyone? Would you know this? |
| Tx:14.11 | which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's creation. From | everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you will inevitably |
| Tx:14.11 | confidence in your safe inclusion in what is for all in | everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace. |
| Tx:14.12 | Peace, then, be unto | everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the |
| Tx:14.12 | purity from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is | everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, |
| Tx:14.12 | no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power of God draws | everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly within |
| Tx:14.13 | Teach peace with me and stand with me on holy ground. Remember for | everyone your Father's power that He has given him. Believe not that |
| Tx:14.43 | the message which shines forth from what the mirror holds out for | everyone to see no one can fail to understand. It is the message that |
| Tx:14.44 | change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not obscure, for | everyone perceives it as the same. All bring their different problems |
| Tx:14.46 | from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls | everyone to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and |
| Tx:14.46 | and bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws | everyone to truth, and as they enter into it, they leave all |
| Tx:14.51 | gives equal blessing to all who share in it, and that is also why | everyone shares in it. The power of God is limitless. And being |
| Tx:14.55 | your thoughts and give only the answer with which He answers you. | Everyone seeks for love as you do and knows it not unless he joins |
| Tx:14.63 | there are dark lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you and | everyone around you. The absence of perfect peace means but one |
| Tx:14.74 | your perfection ever in His sight, He gives the gift of peace to | everyone who perceives the need for peace and who would have it. Make |
| Tx:15.14 | to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect love for | everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to remember |
| Tx:15.29 | you. For God would give Himself through you. He reaches from you to | everyone and beyond everyone to His Son's creations, but without |
| Tx:15.29 | give Himself through you. He reaches from you to everyone and beyond | everyone to His Son's creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond |
| Tx:15.34 | Call forth in | everyone only the remembrance of God and of the Heaven that is in |
| Tx:15.52 | Everyone on earth has formed special relationships, and although this | |
| Tx:15.65 | fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, | everyone joined in it has everything. This is not the basis for any |
| Tx:15.81 | denied. You are forever in a relationship so holy that it calls to | everyone to escape from loneliness and join you in your love. And |
| Tx:15.81 | from loneliness and join you in your love. And where you are must | everyone seek and find you there. |
| Tx:15.87 | ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the ego would limit | everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you think it has a |
| Tx:15.93 | when only this I will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in | everyone and offer everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable |
| Tx:15.93 | will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer | everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving |
| Tx:15.94 | of Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to | everyone. And by your acceptance of it, you have offered it to |
| Tx:15.94 | to everyone. And by your acceptance of it, you have offered it to | everyone. It is in your power to make this season holy, for it is in |
| Tx:15.99 | You think that | everyone outside yourself demands your sacrifice, but you do not see |
| Tx:15.103 | in healing, and let us celebrate our release together by releasing | everyone with us. Leave nothing behind, for release is total, and |
| Tx:16.10 | difficult because you cannot see how it can be extended to include | everyone. And you have learned that it must include everyone to be |
| Tx:16.10 | to include everyone. And you have learned that it must include | everyone to be holy. Concern yourselves not with the extension of |
| Tx:16.19 | Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to | everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to accept this |
| Tx:16.28 | and for what He is Who created you as you are. Sooner or later must | everyone bridge the gap which he imagines exists between his selves. |
| Tx:16.47 | To | everyone Heaven is completion. There can be no disagreement on this, |
| Tx:16.80 | all illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle extends to bless | everyone and to resolve all problems, be they perceived as great or |
| Tx:17.62 | sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that | everyone involved in it will play his part in its accomplishment. |
| Tx:17.71 | light of truth shines from the center of the situation and touches | everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to everyone. |
| Tx:17.71 | touches everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to | everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your whole |
| Tx:18.20 | kept it a thing apart, its holiness will become an offering to | everyone. |
| Tx:18.21 | Your special relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in | everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It will be a happy |
| Tx:18.21 | not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses | everyone who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And |
| Tx:18.21 | He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for the salvation of | everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who offered your |
| Tx:18.21 | on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken | everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. If you but |
| Tx:18.29 | the darkness to light, and this willingness has given strength to | everyone who would remain in darkness. Those who would see will see. |
| Tx:18.58 | only by Him. What limit can there be on you whom He encompasses? | Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of being |
| Tx:18.68 | Here is the ultimate release which | everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not |
| Tx:18.79 | of refuge, prepared by love for them where once a desert was. And | everyone you welcome will bring love with him from Heaven for you. |
| Tx:18.79 | its beneficence, your little garden will expand and reach out to | everyone who thirsts for living water but has grown too weary to go |
| Tx:18.81 | coming. In the holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers | everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you will |
| Tx:18.93 | of guilt upon it. Here are you forgiven, for here you have forgiven | everyone. Here is the new perception, where everything is bright and |
| Tx:19.1 | its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses | everyone involved, for only thus the situation is perceived as |
| Tx:19.1 | thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a whole. And | everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and |
| Tx:19.11 | is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of | everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him like you |
| Tx:19.11 | healed because you looked on what makes faith forever justified in | everyone. |
| Tx:19.37 | And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to | everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him. |
| Tx:19.39 | need to see. When the peace in you has been extended to encompass | everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What |
| Tx:19.40 | the whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to | everyone who calls and bring him rest by joining you. |
| Tx:19.41 | alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to | everyone, and how can He do this except through you? Would you let a |
| Tx:19.44 | But let Him quietly extend the miracle of your relationship to | everyone contained in it, as it was given. |
| Tx:19.55 | This is a feast which honors your holy relationship and at which | everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a holy instant, |
| Tx:19.55 | as an honored guest. And in a holy instant, grace is said by | everyone together as they join in gentleness before the table of |
| Tx:19.66 | of guilt, and all the world will answer. Think of your happiness as | everyone offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its |
| Tx:19.87 | see in it the Will of God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And | everyone who gives him shelter will follow him, not to the cross, but |
| Tx:19.99 | is it possible to look on this too soon. This is the place to which | everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found his brother, |
| Tx:19.109 | But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of pain. | Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it will be |
| Tx:20.38 | is far beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the hearts of | everyone and let them beat as one. And in that single heart beat is |
| Tx:20.38 | the unity of the Son of God together. You give to one another for | everyone, and in your gift is everyone made glad. Forget not Who has |
| Tx:20.38 | together. You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift is | everyone made glad. Forget not Who has given you the gifts you give, |
| Tx:21.12 | in all. And when you see it in each other, you are remembering for | everyone. |
| Tx:21.23 | to you to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for | everyone believes in what he wants. |
| Tx:21.66 | What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out for | everyone to look upon with gladness. |
| Tx:22.9 | no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for | everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would |
| Tx:22.42 | you walk the world with me, whose message has not yet been given to | everyone. For you are here to let it be received. God's offer still |
| Tx:22.43 | His message of hope and freedom and release from suffering to | everyone who needs a miracle to save him. |
| Tx:22.44 | How easy is it to offer this miracle to | everyone! No one who has received it for himself could find it |
| Tx:22.59 | given Him to make each little gift of love a source of healing for | everyone. Each little gift you offer to the other lights up the |
| Tx:23.20 | The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for | everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is |
| Tx:23.43 | and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for | everyone. Let the idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of |
| Tx:24.46 | and of death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand that | everyone may bless all living things and see their holiness. And He |
| Tx:24.62 | How bitterly does | everyone tied to this world defend the specialness he wants to be the |
| Tx:25.20 | along with His. The gratitude of God Himself is freely offered to | everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His Will to be alone. And |
| Tx:25.27 | your error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps are not. | Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. |
| Tx:25.32 | seek for it because it is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. | Everyone seeks for what will bring him joy as he defines it. It is |
| Tx:25.35 | can never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to | everyone have found a home in Heaven the world cannot destroy. For it |
| Tx:25.40 | offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In | everyone you see but the reflection of what you chose to have him be |
| Tx:25.50 | Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world is safe from love to | everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it |
| Tx:25.57 | One as sane as He to raise a saner world to meet the sight of | everyone who chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is given |
| Tx:25.61 | is rebirth of the idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And | everyone must gain if anyone would be a gainer. Here is sanity |
| Tx:25.66 | But justice does He know and knows it well. For He is wholly fair to | everyone. |
| Tx:25.76 | How can the special really understand that justice is the same for | everyone? To take from one to give another must be an injustice to |
| Tx:25.79 | Him. Yet would His justice not be satisfied until it is received by | everyone. |
| Tx:25.83 | And what would be unjust to him cannot occur. Healing must be for | everyone because he does not merit an attack of any kind. What order |
| Tx:25.84 | to specialness. What He cannot perceive He bears no witness to. And | everyone is equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance |
| Tx:25.85 | it not. Only forgiveness offers miracles. And pardon must be just to | everyone. |
| Tx:25.86 | must be done to all if anyone is to be healed. No one can lose, and | everyone must benefit. |
| Tx:25.87 | is an example of what justice can accomplish when it is offered to | everyone alike. It is received and given equally. It is awareness |
| Tx:25.87 | it sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is the same for | everyone, because it sees no differences in them. Its offering is |
| Tx:25.88 | What is God's belongs to | everyone and is his due. |
| Tx:26.15 | on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by | everyone. For what you give to Him is everyone's, and by your giving |
| Tx:26.15 | give to Him is everyone's, and by your giving it can He ensure that | everyone receives it equally. |
| Tx:26.67 | Your ancient name belongs to | everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God will |
| Tx:27.4 | if only it can serve to punish him. The sick are merciless to | everyone, and in contagion do they seek to kill. Death seems an easy |
| Tx:29.6 | know what loving means. And so you must misuse each circumstance and | everyone you meet and see in them a purpose not your own. |
| Tx:29.13 | healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome | everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon you stand |
| Tx:29.68 | dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard which | everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time |
| Tx:29.70 | to worship idols and to keep attack. Forgiving dreams are kind to | everyone who figures in the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full |
| Tx:30.59 | quite remembered, for the purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet | everyone is certain he will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains |
| Tx:30.75 | for you. What can this be except a false forgiveness of yourself and | everyone who seems apart from you? |
| Tx:30.85 | experiences here. In this shared purpose is one [meaning] shared by | everyone and everything you see. You do not have to judge, for you |
| Tx:31.8 | the call was made. And you will understand it was this call that | everyone and everything within the world has always made, but you had |
| Tx:31.33 | death a little time is given you to use for you alone, a time when | everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road will lead |
| Tx:31.35 | offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must come when | everyone begins to see how like they are to one another. Men have |
| Tx:31.56 | the self has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And | everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of |
| Tx:31.75 | vision does he see the face of Christ and understands he looks on | everyone as he beholds this One. For there is light where darkness |
| Tx:31.77 | as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To | everyone has God entrusted all, because a partial savior would be one |
| Tx:31.77 | saved. The holy ones whom God has given each of you to save are | everyone you meet or look upon, not knowing who they are, all those |
| Tx:31.78 | and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it forth in | everyone they look upon that he may be what they expect of him. This |
| Tx:31.93 | before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace to | everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, lonely, and in constant |
| Tx:31.93 | that you saw before. Yet this a vision is which you must share with | everyone you see, for otherwise you will behold it not. To give this |
| Tx:31.94 | For you will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is | everyone made free. |
| W1:37.1 | blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; | everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of |
| W1:37.1 | holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers | everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is |
| W1:52.3 | the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against | everyone and everything, making them my “enemies.” When I have |
| W1:52.3 | When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless | everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and therefore no |
| W1:55.6 | about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to use | everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the world is for. |
| W1:58.3 | the world. The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. | Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it |
| W1:58.3 | my holiness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth for | everyone to see. |
| W1:58.5 | my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. And because I am unafraid, | everyone must share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to |
| W1:60.4 | can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. | Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will |
| W1:60.4 | I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in | everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a world |
| W1:68.9 | period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with | everyone and everything, safe in a world which protects you and loves |
| W1:69.1 | Because your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, | everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as the veil of |
| W1:69.3 | search today by finding the light in us and holding it up for | everyone who searches with us to look upon and rejoice. |
| W1:71.3 | change of mind that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of | everyone and everything except yourself. |
| W1:75.2 | now. The light has come. Today the time of light begins for you and | everyone. It is a new era in which a new world is born. The old one |
| W1:77.4 | and that in asking for your rights you are upholding the rights of | everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this world. They merely |
| W1:78.6 | will learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in | everyone and can be seen. He who was enemy is more than friend when |
| W1:78.12 | to save us and refuse to hide his light behind our grievances. To | everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or remember from the |
| W1:79.2 | Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. Yet | |
| W1:92.6 | Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for | everyone. It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless |
| W1:92.6 | will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to | everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone |
| W1:95.20 | your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To | everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's idea |
| W1:96.17 | lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it is given | everyone who asks for it and will accept the gift. Think, then, how |
| W1:97.5 | calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to | everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth. |
| W1:100.7 | today. You bring His happiness to all you look upon, His peace to | everyone who looks on you and sees His message in your happy face. We |
| W1:108.7 | miss. To give is to receive. Today we will attempt to offer peace to | everyone and see how quickly peace returns to us. Light is |
| W1:108.10 | your eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to | everyone to have it yours. You might, for instance, say: |
| W1:108.11 | To | everyone I offer quietness. To everyone I offer peace of mind. To |
| W1:108.11 | To everyone I offer quietness. To | everyone I offer peace of mind. To everyone I offer gentleness. |
| W1:108.11 | To everyone I offer quietness. To everyone I offer peace of mind. To | everyone I offer gentleness. |
| W1:109.2 | in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in | everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for |
| W1:109.2 | there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world and | everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here |
| W1:109.9 | will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing | everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary |
| W1:123.4 | God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on | everyone we see and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what |
| W1:132.7 | world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not | everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as far as he can |
| W1:133.17 | And then receive what waits for | everyone who reaches unencumbered to the gate of Heaven, which swings |
| W1:135.12 | any goal which serves the greater plan established for the good of | everyone. |
| W1:139.8 | alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what | everyone must be along with us. |
| W1:139.12 | God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can remember it for | everyone, for in creation are all minds as one and in our memory is |
| W1:151.12 | every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. In | everyone and everything, His Voice would speak to you of nothing but |
| W1:151.15 | listen when you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And | everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated |
| W1:151.17 | truth has no illusions and the peace of God, through us, belongs to | everyone. |
| W1:153.12 | is gone. His game instructs in happiness because there is no loser. | Everyone who plays must win, and in his winning is the gain to |
| W1:153.12 | Everyone who plays must win, and in his winning is the gain to | everyone ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside when children |
| W1:153.14 | ended. Let this day bring the last chapter closer to the world that | everyone may learn the tales he reads of terrifying destiny, defeat |
| W1:155.11 | truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we make for | everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so |
| W1:157.5 | to those you touch and blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches | everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. |
| W1:157.5 | blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and | everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience |
| W1:157.6 | this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer | everyone that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which |
| W1:158.7 | of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on | everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings, and all events |
| W1:162.5 | you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to | everyone, for who could cherish sin when holiness like this has |
| W1:166.6 | the rocky road he walks. No one but has identified with him, for | everyone who comes here has pursued the path he follows and has felt |
| W1:166.15 | it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer | everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your |
| W1:169.13 | experience that comes from grace. We welcome the release it offers | everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look beyond what |
| W1:181.10 | our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for | everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self |
| W1:182.3 | We speak today for | everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. He goes |
| W1:184.6 | This is the sum of the inheritance the world bestows. And | everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts the signs and |
| W1:184.7 | Such is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of learning | everyone who comes must go through. But the sooner he perceives on |
| W1:185.13 | No one can lose and | everyone must gain whenever any gift of God has been requested and |
| W1:187.3 | believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to | everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and |
| W1:187.7 | and you remove the thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on | everyone who suffers when you choose to see all suffering as what it |
| W1:187.11 | it everywhere. We would behold it shining with the grace of God in | everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we look |
| W1:188.3 | and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given | everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give and |
| W1:188.3 | all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and | everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give and you who have |
| W1:189.3 | shines on everything and peace offers its gentle light to | everyone is inconceivable to those who see a world of hatred, rising |
| W1:191.5 | Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives to | everyone in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way to happiness |
| W1:192.8 | Who can be born again in Christ but him who has forgiven | everyone he sees or thinks of or imagines? Who could be set free |
| W1:197.7 | grateful only unto God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To | everyone who lives will Christ yet come, for everyone must live and |
| W1:197.7 | you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will Christ yet come, for | everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being in His Father is |
| W1:200.5 | You will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed and | everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You made |
| W1:200.8 | Peace is the bridge that | everyone will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins |
| W2:245.1 | Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on | everyone I meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I |
| W2:247.2 | So would I look on | everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created |
| W2:269.1 | all those I made. Today I choose to see a world forgiven in which | everyone shows me the face of Christ and teaches me that what I look |
| W2:270.2 | of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to | everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer |
| W2:WIHS.1 | through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to | everyone who turns to Him for truth. Across the bridge that He |
| W2:WISC.2 | Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's way because it shines on | everyone as one. And thus is oneness recognized at last. |
| W2:WISC.4 | Coming is the one event in time which time itself cannot affect. For | everyone who ever came to die or yet will come or who is present now |
| W2:315.1 | mercy, and my mind perceives this gift and takes it as its own. And | everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the |
| W2:338.1 | let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is | everyone released at last from fear. Now he has learned that no one |
| W2:339.1 | But he can think that joy is painful, threatening, and dangerous. | Everyone will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed |
| W2:WAI.3 | is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on | everyone as brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as good. |
| W2:WAI.5 | holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to | everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our |
| W2:FL.2 | only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that | everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God |
| M:I.4 | inevitable. There is no escape from it. How could it be otherwise? | Everyone who follows the world's curriculum, and everyone here does |

| Tx:7.107 | accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in | everything. This is because the ego perceives nothing as wholly |
| Tx:7.108 | he is out of his natural environment and does not function well. | Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was not created for |
| Tx:7.109 | they deny Him, they do not know this, because they deny themselves | everything. |
| Tx:7.110 | You who could give the love of God to | everything you see and touch and remember are literally denying |
| Tx:7.110 | because he has learned it of the Holy Spirit, Who wants to teach him | everything He knows. When a mind has only light, it knows only light. |
| Tx:8.7 | simultaneously from two teachers who are in total disagreement about | everything. Their joint curriculum presents an impossible learning |
| Tx:8.10 | be out of accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of | everything the ego tries to teach. It is not, then, only the |
| Tx:8.11 | the path of freedom, teaching you how to disregard or look beyond | everything that would hold you back. |
| Tx:8.23 | encounter only part of yourself, because you are part of God, Who is | everything. His power and glory are everywhere, and you cannot be |
| Tx:8.24 | God gives whatever belongs to Him, because He gives of Himself, and | everything belongs to Him. Giving of your self is the function He |
| Tx:8.25 | you must be included in it. His laws govern you, because they govern | everything. You cannot exempt yourself from His laws, although you |
| Tx:8.25 | you will feel lonely and helpless, because you are denying yourself | everything. |
| Tx:8.26 | I am come as a light into a world that does deny itself | everything. It does this simply by dissociating itself from |
| Tx:8.26 | itself everything. It does this simply by dissociating itself from | everything. It is therefore an illusion of isolation, maintained by |
| Tx:8.35 | Holy Trinity as separated. You must be included in It, because It is | everything. Unless you take your place in It and fulfill your |
| Tx:8.44 | This son of a loving father left his home and thought he squandered | everything for nothing of any value, although he did not know its |
| Tx:8.54 | link between God and His separated Sons, the Holy Spirit interprets | everything you have made in the light of what He is. The ego |
| Tx:8.69 | the body are attitudes toward attack. The ego's definitions of | everything are childish and always based on what it believes a thing |
| Tx:8.75 | as such it will lose its true function. This is the purpose of | everything the ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight of the |
| Tx:8.75 | the ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight of the function of | everything. A sick body does not make any sense. It could not make |
| Tx:8.79 | His message through you. This will heal them and therefore heal you. | Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:8.79 | with its function as the Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. | Everything used otherwise is. Do not allow the body to be a mirror of |
| Tx:8.80 | We once said that the Holy Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to | everything, because He knows what the answer to everything is. The |
| Tx:8.80 | He is the Answer to everything, because He knows what the answer to | everything is. The ego does not know what a real question is, |
| Tx:8.81 | willing, which wants things to be as they are not. The reality of | everything is totally harmless, because total harmlessness is the |

| Tx:8.100 | is complete communication failure between them. Yet you can ask for | everything of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real, being |
| Tx:8.104 | God in His devotion to you created you devoted to | everything and gave you what you are devoted to. Otherwise, you would |
| Tx:8.104 | to. Otherwise, you would not have been created perfect. Reality is | everything, and therefore you have everything because you are real. |

| Tx:9.8 | how to see yourself without condemnation by learning how to look on | everything without it. Condemnation will then not be real to you, and |
| Tx:9.33 | this means? If what you do to my brother you do to me, and if you do | everything for yourself because we are part of you, everything we do |
| Tx:9.33 | and if you do everything for yourself because we are part of you, | everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God created is |
| Tx:9.37 | one of them, you would not want anything the world has to offer. | Everything else would be totally meaningless. God's meaning is |
| Tx:9.40 | love you. It is unaware of what you are and wholly mistrustful of | everything it perceives, because its own perceptions are so shifting. |
| Tx:9.41 | do, because He never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by | everything you do, even when you respond to the Holy Spirit, because |
| Tx:9.60 | to Him as you do, but nothing is added that is different, because | everything has always been. What can upset you except the ephemeral, |
| Tx:9.60 | creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy will establishes | everything that happens to you. Every response you make to everything |
| Tx:9.60 | everything that happens to you. Every response you make to | everything you perceive is up to you, because your will determines |
| Tx:9.61 | can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you encompass | everything. Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. |
| Tx:9.64 | you love your creations as yourself because they are part of you. | Everything that was created is therefore perfectly safe, because the |
| Tx:9.65 | as long as you are asleep. Yet the instant you waken, you know that | everything that seemed to happen did not happen at all. You do not |
| Tx:9.67 | You will remember | everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly |
| Tx:9.69 | and of yourself for you, waiting for your acceptance. Give up gladly | everything that would stand in the way of your remembering, for God |
| Tx:9.70 | But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He will give you | everything but for the asking. |
| Tx:9.84 | this has nothing to do with reality, it is equally clear that it has | everything to do with reality as you perceive it. |
| Tx:9.88 | God work only for your good, and there are no other laws beside His. | Everything else is merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet God |
| Tx:9.88 | merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected | everything He created by His laws. Therefore, everything that is not |
| Tx:9.88 | Himself has protected everything He created by His laws. Therefore, | everything that is not under them does not exist. “Laws of chaos” are |
| Tx:9.99 | and you will learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in | everything He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace |
| Tx:9.106 | of God will you have anything, because His fatherhood gave you | everything. That is why to deny Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is |
| Tx:10.3 | light. There you will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that | everything of which you have been afraid was based on nothing. |
| Tx:10.4 | have looked upon ours. I come to you from our Father to offer you | everything again. Do not refuse it in order to keep a dark |
| Tx:10.10 | alone? God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be increased, and | everything He creates has the function of creating. Love does not |
| Tx:10.12 | not know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's Will is in | everything is merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, |
| Tx:10.44 | and its purpose is always the natural extension of what it is. | Everything that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its |
| Tx:10.53 | clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to | everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power, |
| Tx:10.53 | with the conviction that separation is salvation, the ego attacks | everything it perceives by breaking it up into small and disconnected |
| Tx:10.58 | of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance. | Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want |
| Tx:10.64 | that it represents what you want to be. The freedom to leave behind | everything that hurts you and humbles you and frightens you cannot be |
| Tx:10.69 | the world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and | everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another |
| Tx:10.71 | believing what you made to be capable of being unlike Him. Yet | everything in what you have made that is true is like Him. Only this |
| Tx:10.75 | And then | everything you made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the |
| Tx:10.76 | willingness to learn of Him depends on your willingness to question | everything you have learned of yourself, for you who have learned |
| Tx:10.81 | what is yours and will take nothing in return. For what is yours is | everything, and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the |
| Tx:11.3 | no effort at all on your part. Every loving thought is true. | Everything else is an appeal for healing and help. That is what it |
| Tx:11.10 | taught you to accept only loving thoughts in others and to regard | everything else as an appeal for help, He has taught you that fear is |
| Tx:11.23 | planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the Holy Spirit | everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it. You do not |
| Tx:11.30 | intolerable. Therefore the mind projects the split, not the reality. | Everything you perceive as the outside world is merely your attempt |
| Tx:11.32 | see the world of death. For death is not of the real world, in which | everything is eternal. God gave you the real world in exchange for |
| Tx:11.41 | and a very heavy one. If death is your treasure, you will sell | everything else to purchase it. And you will believe that you have |
| Tx:11.41 | you will believe that you have purchased it because you have sold | everything else. Yet you cannot sell the Kingdom of Heaven. Your |
| Tx:11.52 | end are in complete accord. You need offer only undivided attention. | Everything else will be given you. For it is your will to learn |
| Tx:11.59 | becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and | everything, for its applicability is universal. When this has been |
| Tx:11.60 | of God. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where | everything eternal in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the |
| Tx:11.73 | within, for you will see it without because you saw it first within. | Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you beheld |
| Tx:11.80 | every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the perception of | everything you see. For what you have made invisible is the only |
| Tx:11.82 | Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the Holy | |
| Tx:11.84 | it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its reality will make | everything else invisible, for beholding it is total perception. And |
| Tx:11.92 | time, where you must be because He is with you. He has always undone | everything unworthy of the Son of God, for such was His mission, |
| Tx:12.21 | In peace he needed nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded | everything and found nothing. For how could the gentleness of love |
| Tx:12.36 | go. And so they separate into their private worlds, where | everything is disordered and where what is within appears to be |
| Tx:12.50 | is before time was and will be when time is no more. In it is | everything that is eternal, and they are one. Their continuity is |
| Tx:12.55 | world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here will | everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is |
| Tx:12.65 | him. He is as safe from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in | everything. The world about him shines with love because God placed |
| Tx:12.69 | Everything that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For | |
| Tx:12.70 | from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He knows that | everything you need is temporary and will but last until you step |
| Tx:13.1 | mean anything to it. It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has | everything, and forever. |
| Tx:13.2 | everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds | everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last |
| Tx:13.3 | will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of reality can be seen in | everything and everywhere. Yet only God can gather them together by |
| Tx:13.4 | of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ's vision looks on | everything with love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His reality. |
| Tx:13.14 | Atonement brings a re-evaluation of | everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:13.37 | or not. To value it partially is not to know its value. In Heaven is | everything God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly |
| Tx:13.37 | God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. | Everything is clear and bright and calls forth one response. There is |
| Tx:13.45 | The Holy Spirit cannot fail to undo for you | everything you have learned that teaches you what is not true must be |
| Tx:13.50 | direct your thoughts unto oblivion. And if you have and give and are | everything, and all this has been denied, your thought system is |
| Tx:13.51 | logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing, for He knows | everything. |
| Tx:13.58 | The truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and | everything beside it is not there. Let Me make the one distinction |
| Tx:13.60 | Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make nothing | everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and recognize how |
| Tx:13.61 | If you would be a happy learner, you must give | everything that you have learned over to the Holy Spirit to be |
| Tx:13.63 | of Christ is given the very instant that it is perceived. Where | everything is clear, it is all holy. The quietness of its simplicity |
| Tx:13.63 | there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is in Him with | everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when this is true? |
| Tx:13.75 | is all that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you | everything will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you |
| Tx:13.75 | Instead, accept His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of | everything God wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of God |
| Tx:13.76 | His Son? Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of | everything that He created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide |
| Tx:13.76 | about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit | everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel. |
| Tx:13.77 | your innocence, which sets you free. And it is His decision to undo | everything that would obscure your innocence from your unclouded mind. |
| Tx:13.81 | is yours because your Father would have you share it with Him. In | everything be led by Him and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer |
| Tx:13.82 | Creator. Yet you remain in close communication with Him and with | everything that is within Him, as it is within yourself. Unlearn |
| Tx:14.4 | Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is. | Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot exist, |
| Tx:14.5 | and return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing of value here and | everything of value there. Listen to the Holy Spirit and to God |
| Tx:14.14 | you restore becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And | everything you give to God is yours. Thus He creates, and thus must |
| Tx:14.15 | into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for therein lies | everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and |
| Tx:14.18 | of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in light. | Everything else must disappear. |
| Tx:14.22 | lead to unintelligibility. Yet if one means nothing and the other | everything, only that one is possible for purposes of communication. |
| Tx:14.24 | your mind, and they are reconciled by union, as you are. In union, | everything that is not real must disappear, for truth is union. As |
| Tx:14.25 | The search for truth is but the honest searching out of | everything that interferes with truth. Truth is. It can be neither |
| Tx:14.29 | Defenses, like | everything you made, must be gently turned to your own good, |
| Tx:14.31 | yours, comes not from double vision but from the gentle fusing of | everything into one meaning, one emotion, and one purpose. God has |
| Tx:14.33 | He shares it still, for you. | Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or |
| Tx:14.36 | can change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. | Everything God created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is |
| Tx:14.40 | Merely by being what it is does truth release you from | everything that it is not. The Atonement is so gentle you need but |
| Tx:14.41 | Holiness by Which it was created.] The Presence of Holiness lives in | everything that lives, for Holiness created life and leaves not what |
| Tx:14.51 | The power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers | everything to every call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty |
| Tx:14.52 | are much too confused either to recognize love or to believe that | everything else is nothing but a need for love. You are too bound to |
| Tx:14.56 | so you can understand them. God has no secret communications, for | everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, |
| Tx:14.58 | so much between it and your awareness of it that you cannot use it. | Everything you have taught yourselves has made your power more and |
| Tx:14.60 | Atonement teaches you how to escape forever from | everything that you have taught yourselves in the past by showing you |
| Tx:14.64 | be concerned how you can learn a lesson so completely different from | everything you have taught yourselves. How would you know? Your part |
| Tx:14.64 | you know? Your part is very simple. You need only recognize that | everything you learned you do not want. Ask to be taught and do not |
| Tx:14.72 | always that they know nothing, but who have become willing to learn | everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they |
| Tx:15.22 | You offered this in place of magnitude, and you accepted it. | Everything in this world is little because it is a world made out of |
| Tx:15.26 | His power. God is not willing that His Son be content with less than | everything. For He is not content without His Son, and His Son cannot |
| Tx:15.32 | content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that | everything I learned is yours. What my Father loves, I love as He |
| Tx:15.40 | It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to accept | everything. |
| Tx:15.42 | I want to have perfect communication, and am I wholly willing to let | everything that interferes with it go forever?” If the answer is no, |
| Tx:15.65 | it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has | everything. This is not the basis for any relationship in which the |
| Tx:15.79 | far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use | everything in this world for your release. He must side with every |
| Tx:15.103 | This Christmas, give the Holy Spirit | everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed completely |
| Tx:15.108 | is nowhere and love is everywhere. For communication embraces | everything, and in the peace it re-establishes, love comes of itself. |
| Tx:16.8 | and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would share | everything you give through Him. And that is why He gives it. |
| Tx:16.19 | Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to everyone and | everything. There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. |
| Tx:16.19 | and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and will give you | everything that makes for happiness. You have never given any problem |
| Tx:16.24 | effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet within you is | everything you taught. What can it be that has not learned it? It |
| Tx:16.31 | something else, and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is | everything. You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and |
| Tx:16.31 | but its reality, which awaits you on the other side, will give you | everything. |
| Tx:16.38 | in the bleak world of illusion, where nothing is certain, and where | everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of God, be wholly willing to |
| Tx:16.45 | world is the opposite of Heaven, being made to be its opposite, and | everything here takes a direction exactly opposite of what is true. |
| Tx:16.64 | more than a transition in your perspective of reality. On this side, | everything you see is grossly distorted and completely out of |
| Tx:16.72 | It is completely savage and completely insane. For the ego remembers | everything that you have done which offended it and seeks retribution |
| Tx:16.75 | stillness and the peace of now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. | Everything is gone except the truth. |
| Tx:16.77 | reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was created. And | everything the Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have |
| Tx:17.5 | which must imprison you. There is no order in reality because | everything there is true. |
| Tx:17.8 | not a fantasy. It is the real world, bright and clean and new with | everything sparkling under the open sun. Nothing is hidden here, for |
| Tx:17.8 | everything sparkling under the open sun. Nothing is hidden here, for | everything has been forgiven, and there are no fantasies to hide the |
| Tx:17.10 | Perception will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for | everything that has been used for learning will have no function. |
| Tx:17.30 | it to be healed. This blessing holds within itself the truth about | everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close |
| Tx:17.42 | to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will gain | everything by giving Him the power and the glory and keeping no |
| Tx:17.43 | is the expression of the holy instant in living in this world. Like | everything about salvation, the holy instant is a practical device, |
| Tx:17.60 | with the accomplishment of your objective and concentrate on | everything which helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this |
| Tx:18.2 | what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But | everything seems to come between the fragmented relationships the ego |
| Tx:18.4 | to death, was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. | Everything you see reflects it, and every special relationship which |
| Tx:18.6 | is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a world in which | everything is backwards and upside-down arose from this? [It was |
| Tx:18.9 | In your relationship, where He has taken charge of | everything at your request, He has set the course inward to the truth |
| Tx:18.16 | on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In dreams you arrange | everything. People become what you would have them be, and what they |
| Tx:18.31 | away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which | everything is radiant in the light. |
| Tx:18.40 | Forget not that it has been your decision to make | everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you |
| Tx:18.40 | belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. | Everything God wills is not only possible but has already happened. |
| Tx:18.56 | it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. [It encompasses | everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it |
| Tx:18.71 | Can you who see yourselves within a body know yourself as an idea? | Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something |
| Tx:18.75 | things but by no means totally dependent on their one Creator for | everything and needing the whole to give them any meaning, for by |
| Tx:18.78 | Love knows no bodies and reaches to | everything created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its |
| Tx:18.81 | love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for | everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the |
| Tx:18.87 | Everything these messages relay to you is quite external. There are | |
| Tx:18.93 | here you have forgiven everyone. Here is the new perception, where | everything is bright and shining with innocence, washed in the waters |
| Tx:18.96 | of you and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that | everything you learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the |
| Tx:19.22 | be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could | everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion which makes |
| Tx:19.22 | in place by just this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and | everything is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be |
| Tx:19.29 | must have been broken. Yet at the line, its wholeness is apparent. | Everything seen from the spiral is misperceived, but as you approach |
| Tx:19.47 | Its seeming stability is its pervasive weakness, which extends to | everything. The variability which the little remnant induces merely |
| Tx:19.88 | but must be sought in what they represent. And they may thus mean | everything or nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the idea |
| Tx:19.90 | you would remember your Father. The Creator of life, the Source of | everything that lives, the Father of the universe and of the universe |
| Tx:19.90 | the Father of the universe and of the universe of universes and of | everything that lies even beyond them would you remember. And as this |
| Tx:20.9 | but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on | everything He looks upon and loves. |
| Tx:20.28 | Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives | everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is |
| Tx:20.36 | before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of | everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that |
| Tx:20.42 | nothing from it, and the future will add no more. Here, then, is | everything. Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with means |
| Tx:20.72 | Everything looked upon with vision falls gently into place according | |
| Tx:20.72 | to the laws brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for | everything He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His |
| Tx:20.72 | sin, unable to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in | everything. Look through its eyes, and everything will stand |
| Tx:20.72 | and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, and | everything will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, |
| Tx:21.1 | And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. | Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing |
| Tx:21.6 | that or nothing. They hate the world they learned through pain. And | everything they think is in it serves to remind them that they are |
| Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, past | everything you see and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden |
| Tx:21.10 | is in it is no longer contained at all. The light expands and covers | everything, extending to infinity, forever shining and with no break |
| Tx:21.10 | forever shining and with no break or limit anywhere. Within it | everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to |
| Tx:21.13 | the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you | everything; the very little on which salvation rests; the tiny change |
| Tx:21.15 | I experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And | everything that seems to happen to me, I asked for and received as I |
| Tx:21.18 | it, and you keep the world as now you see it. Give it away, and | everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so |
| Tx:21.28 | “proves” otherwise, and you deny your whole reality. But grant that | everything which seems to stand between you, keeping you from each |
| Tx:21.87 | Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on | everything and sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it |
| Tx:21.87 | sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that | everything be like itself and sees it so. Nothing has power to |
| Tx:22.9 | Your sight was given you, along with | everything that you can understand. You will perceive no difficulty |
| Tx:22.18 | way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but | everything in time can change with time. Yet if the change be real |
| Tx:22.32 | it does not recognize and does not know if it is there or not. | Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an error in |
| Tx:22.33 | form of nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of | everything, the wall that stands between you and the truth, is wholly |
| Tx:22.42 | from harm. And each will be the other's strong protector from | everything that seems to rise between you. So shall you walk the |
| Tx:22.45 | the strong ones in this seeming conflict. And you need no defense. | Everything that needs defense you do not want, for anything that |
| Tx:22.48 | sings as one? Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or | everything that God created? You are not joined together by this |
| Tx:22.56 | love all that He loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of | everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can long |
| Tx:23.2 | indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that | everything you use for sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And |
| Tx:23.3 | they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth releases | everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful |
| Tx:23.6 | given you. In kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and | everything you once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part |
| Tx:23.16 | him. Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from | everything that is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its |
| Tx:23.16 | is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and | everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the |
| Tx:23.55 | of battle. What could they gain but loss of their perfection? For | everything fought for on the battleground is of the body—something |
| Tx:23.55 | something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has | everything could seek for limitation, nor could he value the body's |
| Tx:23.55 | from the quiet sphere above the battleground. What can conflict with | everything? And what is there that offers less, yet could be wanted |
| Tx:24.2 | each decision you make. For a decision is a conclusion based on | everything that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and follows |
| Tx:24.3 | the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose. Love offers | everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering, and love |
| Tx:24.21 | Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of | everything including you. |
| Tx:24.29 | is safe, resting on Him. It is your specialness that is attacked by | everything that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or even lives |
| Tx:24.34 | in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. | Everything else becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and |
| Tx:24.37 | and your treasure house barren and empty with an open door inviting | everything that would disturb your peace to enter and destroy. |
| Tx:24.53 | is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for God in | everything that lives and shares His Being. |
| Tx:24.54 | that eyes which see can look upon. It is His loveliness they see in | everything. And it is He they look for everywhere and find no sight |
| Tx:24.63 | alone. What is within your brother still contains all of creation, | everything created and creating, born and unborn as yet, still in the |
| Tx:24.67 | The test of | everything on earth is simply this: “What is it for?” The answer |
| Tx:25.43 | The grace of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and | everything they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no |
| Tx:25.49 | be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, that | everything be given you. |
| Tx:25.54 | to death and cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is | everything perceived as one, and no one loses that each one may gain. |
| Tx:25.55 | Test | everything that you believe against this one requirement. And |
| Tx:25.55 | that you believe against this one requirement. And understand that | everything that meets this one demand is worthy of your faith. But |
| Tx:25.73 | To him who merits | everything, how can it be that anything be kept from him? For that |
| Tx:25.76 | to both. Who would have more or less is not aware that he has | everything. He is no judge of what must be another's due, because he |
| Tx:25.86 | removed for you. And so they gather dust and grow until they cover | everything that you perceive and leave you fair to no one. Not one |
| Tx:26.3 | you alone. And for this little to belong to you are limits placed on | everything outside, just as they are on everything you think is |
| Tx:26.3 | to you are limits placed on everything outside, just as they are on | everything you think is yours. For giving and receiving are the same. |
| Tx:26.17 | He cannot be unjust to anyone or anything because He knows that | everything that is belongs to Him and will forever be as He created |
| Tx:26.18 | choosing be a necessary step in the advance toward oneness. What is | everything leaves room for nothing else. |
| Tx:26.19 | is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied and | everything that is received instead. |
| Tx:26.26 | of Heaven. There is no sadness, and there is no parting here, for | everything is totally forgiven. And what has been forgiven must join, |
| Tx:26.27 | What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise by | everything created to the Source of its creation? The holiest of |
| Tx:26.32 | mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed and | everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made. |
| Tx:26.37 | is a voice that calls out from a past forever more gone by. And | everything which points to it as real is but a wish that what is gone |
| Tx:26.38 | to see the past and put it in the present? You can not go back. And | everything that points the way in the direction of the past but sets |
| Tx:26.57 | What is the Will of God? He wills His Son have | everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as everything. |
| Tx:26.57 | Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as | everything. It is impossible that anything be lost if what you have |
| Tx:26.58 | much but far too little. He would sacrifice his own identity with | everything to find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot |
| Tx:26.61 | still demands that he must make some sacrifice and thus denies that | everything is his, unlimited by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is |
| Tx:26.66 | will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And | everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a brother |
| Tx:26.73 | they may not come, although already there? You have been told that | everything brings good that comes from God. And yet it seems as if |
| Tx:26.87 | not yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of | everything perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it |
| Tx:27.5 | you have sent your brother you have looked upon in grief. And | everything that it has shown to him have you believed because it |
| Tx:27.16 | you will believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And | everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you teach to |
| Tx:27.32 | Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than | everything? Yet true undoing must be kind. And so the first |
| Tx:27.49 | Thus is your healing | everything the world requires that it may be healed. It needs one |
| Tx:27.68 | Once you were unaware of what the cause of | everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and |
| Tx:28.18 | because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only Cause of | everything. It has but one effect. And in that recognition, |
| Tx:28.66 | upon your brother's health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and | everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have made |
| Tx:29.14 | You do not see how much you now can give because of | everything you have received. Yet He Who entered in but waits for you |
| Tx:29.19 | love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the sum of | everything, then what is not in Him does not exist, and His |
| Tx:29.44 | outside of himself that will bring happiness and peace to him. If | everything is in him, this cannot be so. And therefore by his coming, |
| Tx:29.44 | he denies the truth about himself and seeks for something more than | everything, as if a part of it were separated off and found where all |
| Tx:29.58 | be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is | everything and everywhere. |
| Tx:29.64 | to move about and talk and think and feel and speak for them. Yet | everything their toys appear to do is in the minds of those who play |
| Tx:30.33 | Kingdom up alone. And Heaven itself but represents your will, where | everything created is for you. No spark of life but was created with |
| Tx:30.35 | birth. Remember He Who has created you and through your will created | everything. Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by |
| Tx:30.38 | limiting, is all attained. It is as if you said, “I have no need of | everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as everything to |
| Tx:30.38 | no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as | everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your |
| Tx:30.38 | to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your will that | everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide |
| Tx:30.38 | yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide for truth, and | everything is yours. |
| Tx:30.60 | prepared to be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows | everything his Father understands and understands it perfectly with |
| Tx:30.64 | when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! Within your hand is | everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear |
| Tx:30.85 | here. In this shared purpose is one [meaning] shared by everyone and | everything you see. You do not have to judge, for you have learned |
| Tx:30.85 | not have to judge, for you have learned one meaning has been given | everything, and you are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot change |
| Tx:30.86 | And nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to | everything as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the end of all |
| Tx:30.89 | and if you fail to see beyond appearances, you are deceived. For | everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, |
| Tx:31.8 | that God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear and | everything is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness. |
| Tx:31.8 | was made. And you will understand it was this call that everyone and | everything within the world has always made, but you had not |
| Tx:31.20 | Then let us wait an instant and be still, forgetting | everything we thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. |
| Tx:31.26 | be overlearned. It must become a habit of response so typical of | everything you do that it becomes your first response to all |
| Tx:31.56 | different thoughts have different consequence. So it can learn that | everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about |
| Tx:31.74 | so that you behold nothing with clarity. The light is kept from | everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies |
| Tx:31.86 | given it no power. And the light of Christ in you is given charge of | everything you do. For you have brought your weakness unto Him, and |
| Tx:31.87 | alone in dreams of hell, but would release your minds from | everything that hides His face from you. His holiness is yours |
| Tx:31.97 | it has. Clear in Your Likeness does the Light shine forth from | everything that lives and moves in You. For we have reached where all |
| W1:I.3 | of these exercises is to train the mind to a different perception of | everything in the world. The workbook is divided into two sections, |
| W1:I.4 | one applies to every situation in which you find yourself and to | everything you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one |
| W1:I.4 | exercises will always be to increase the application of the idea to | everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that you make |
| W1:1.5 | day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to apply it to | everything you see, for these exercises should not become |
| W1:2.1 | concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include | everything in an area or you will introduce strain. Merely glance |
| W1:7.3 | It is the reason why you have given | everything you see all the meaning that it has for you. |
| W1:7.8 | Old ideas about time are very difficult to change because | everything you believe is rooted in time and depends on your not |
| W1:14.1 | world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And | everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see |
| W1:16.1 | step in dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no effect. | Everything you see is the result of your thoughts. There is no |
| W1:22.2 | to find that you can escape? You made what you would destroy— | everything that you hate and would attack and kill. All that you fear |
| W1:23.1 | only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; | everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. Every |
| W1:23.3 | The world you see is a vengeful world, and | everything in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your perceptions |
| W1:23.4 | see when its cause is gone? Vision already holds a replacement for | everything you think you see now. Loveliness can light your images |
| W1:25.1 | You do not know what it is for. Therefore it is meaningless to you. | Everything is for your own best interests. That is what it is for; |
| W1:25.2 | You perceive the world and | everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals |
| W1:25.5 | learning to be willing to give up the goals you have established for | everything. The recognition that they are meaningless, rather than |
| W1:30.3 | looking about you and trying to realize that the idea applies to | everything you do see now or could see now if it were within the |
| W1:37.1 | because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to | everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God. |
| W1:38.2 | it is equal in its power to save anyone. If you are holy, so is | everything God created. You are holy because all things He created |
| W1:41.2 | despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. Deep within you is | everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into |
| W1:44.5 | is very simple. While you practice in this form, you leave behind | everything that you now believe and all the thoughts which you have |
| W1:45.10 | Everything that you have thought since then will change, but the | |
| W1:50.1 | and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by | everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and |
| W1:51.3 | I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged | everything I look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This |
| W1:51.6 | attacks are warranted. I have not realized how much I have misused | everything I see by assigning this role to it. I have done this to |
| W1:52.3 | look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and | everything, making them my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and |
| W1:52.3 | forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless everyone and | everything I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” |
| W1:53.5 | exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and | everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too because |
| W1:54.4 | of nothing. I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share | everything with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the |
| W1:54.5 | in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone in nothing. | Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A Son of |
| W1:55.3 | the representation of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on | everything by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love |
| W1:55.3 | of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by | everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and |
| W1:55.6 | [25] I do not know what anything is for. To me, the purpose of | everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is |
| W1:55.6 | are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to use everyone and | everything. It is this that I believe the world is for. Therefore I |
| W1:56.5 | [29] God is in | everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the truth remains |
| W1:56.5 | united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in | everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all |
| W1:56.6 | [30] God is in | everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind |
| W1:57.4 | I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. I see | everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I |
| W1:58.2 | [36] My holiness envelops | everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real |
| W1:58.3 | The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and | everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. |
| W1:60.4 | will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and | everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in |
| W1:67.8 | your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing | everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple |
| W1:68.9 | trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and | everything, safe in a world which protects you and loves you and |
| W1:71.3 | that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and | everything except yourself. |
| W1:76.6 | needs repeating over and over until you realize that it applies to | everything that you have made in opposition to His Will. Your magic |
| W1:85.5 | and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and | everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in |
| W1:92.7 | size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers | everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No |
| W1:98.2 | has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been given | everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake |
| W1:98.6 | time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for | everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot lose. And what you gain |
| W1:101.3 | real. Salvation must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking | everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims |
| W1:102.2 | purchase anything at all. It offers nothing and does not exist. And | everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence like |
| W1:105.5 | adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving | everything it has away, securing it forever for itself. |
| W1:106.7 | what you received. Thus does salvation start and thus it ends; when | everything is yours, and everything is given away, it will remain |
| W1:106.7 | does salvation start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and | everything is given away, it will remain with you forever. And the |
| W1:109.2 | vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and | everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world |
| W1:R3.4 | to them. They gave you nothing. But your practicing can offer | everything to you. And so accept its offering and be at peace. |
| W1:R3.11 | to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to | everything you do. |
| W1:122.4 | Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer | everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, |
| W1:122.12 | for us since time began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers | everything you want. Today all things you want are given you. |
| W1:122.15 | Forgiveness offers | everything I want. Today I have accepted this as true. Today I have |
| W1:123.8 | to you. Remember hourly to think of Him and give Him thanks for | everything He gave His Son that he might rise above the world |
| W1:124.1 | available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. | Everything we touch takes on a shining light which blesses and which |
| W1:124.2 | How holy are our minds! And | everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with |
| W1:125.7 | your heart to you. His Voice is closer than your hand. His Love is | everything you are and that He is—the same as you, and you the same |
| W1:127.3 | is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the power holding | everything as one, the link between the Father and the Son which |
| W1:127.4 | you are is what He is. There is no love but His, and what He is, is | everything there is. There is no limit placed upon Himself, and so |
| W1:128.2 | binds you to the world, and it will serve no other end but this. For | everything must serve the purpose you have given it until you see a |
| W1:130.4 | Fear has made | everything you think you see. All separation, all distinctions, and |
| W1:130.6 | a piece because it stems from one emotion and reflects its source in | everything you see. |
| W1:130.12 | still remains within your range of choice to take the place of | everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to any part |
| W1:131.4 | remembered, old yet new—an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding | everything you really want. |
| W1:131.6 | His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. | Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has |
| W1:133.6 | a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make brings | everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the tests by |
| W1:133.6 | Therefore, if you learn the tests by which you can distinguish | everything from nothing, you will make the better choice. |
| W1:133.8 | will have nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to | everything, you have denied your own. You therefore will not |
| W1:133.14 | by empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find | everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach this |
| W1:134.2 | is true. It must be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to | everything except illusions. Truth is God's creation, and to pardon |
| W1:134.21 | In | everything you do, remember this: |
| W1:135.14 | service for a little while. In this capacity is health assured. For | everything the mind employs for this will function flawlessly and |
| W1:135.17 | choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is | everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past |
| W1:135.19 | What could you not accept if you but knew that | everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to come, are |
| W1:135.22 | for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that | everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. |
| W1:137.10 | your own as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from | everything that ever caused you pain. And as you let yourself be |
| W1:137.13 | this? Is not a little time a small expense to offer for the gift of | everything? |
| W1:141.2 | [122] Forgiveness offers | everything I want. |
| W1:151.10 | Let Him be judge as well of | everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons |
| W1:151.12 | for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and | everything, His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and |
| W1:151.12 | Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy face of Christ in | everything and hear in everything no sound except the echo of God's |
| W1:151.12 | So will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and hear in | everything no sound except the echo of God's Voice. |
| W1:152.2 | to be true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of | everything, can loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of |
| W1:154.3 | the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in | everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in |
| W1:155.12 | love, and of your full intent? What way could give you more than | everything or offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We |
| W1:156.3 | be holiness as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by | everything that lives. What lives is holy as Himself because what |
| W1:157.9 | Into Christ's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of | everything except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of |
| W1:159.6 | treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for | everything that can contribute to your happiness. All are laid here |
| W1:161.2 | of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on | everything as one. It sees instead but fragments of the whole, for |
| W1:161.3 | us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in | everything. |
| W1:161.7 | Voice proclaims there is no death. Fear is insatiable, consuming | everything its eyes behold, seeing itself in everything, compelled to |
| W1:161.7 | insatiable, consuming everything its eyes behold, seeing itself in | everything, compelled to turn upon itself and to destroy. |
| W1:163.9 | would look upon the glorious reflection of Your love which shines in | everything. We live and breathe in You alone. We are not separate |
| W1:165.2 | It you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with It, and | everything is one with you because It left you not. The Thought of |
| W1:166.5 | alone though God is with him, and a treasure his so great that | everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude. |
| W1:168.4 | instant longer? What remains undone when your forgiveness rests on | everything? |
| W1:169.2 | hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to | everything the world contains that those whose minds are lighted by |
| W1:183.7 | wish we have, the only sound with any meaning, and the only name of | everything that we desire to see; of everything that we would call |
| W1:183.7 | meaning, and the only name of everything that we desire to see; of | everything that we would call our own. |
| W1:184.1 | You live by symbols. You have made up names for | everything you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by |
| W1:185.1 | To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is | everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, there |
| W1:186.12 | image of yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of | everything? Let not its voice direct you. Hear instead a certain |
| W1:186.13 | He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have | everything already. He has thoughts which answer every need His Son |
| W1:187.11 | we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to | everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in |
| W1:189.3 | one is wholly meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on | everything and peace offers its gentle light to everyone is |
| W1:189.7 | the world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of | everything it thinks is either true or false or good or bad, of every |
| W1:191.4 | else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is | everything set free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In |
| W1:191.4 | In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of | everything, the central core of its existence, and its guarantee of |
| W1:191.9 | And in that thought is | everything you look on wholly changed. |
| W1:192.7 | are one and therefore give up nothing. But we have indeed been given | everything by God. Yet do we need forgiveness to perceive that this |
| W1:193.10 | words in full awareness, and do not forget these words apply to | everything you see or any brother looks upon amiss. |
| W1:193.17 | cast its shadow on the one that follows, and when that one goes, let | everything that happens in its course go with it. Thus will you |
| W1:193.17 | is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to look on | everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to |
| W1:195.8 | is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you will see that | everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your |
| W1:195.9 | gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have been given | everything. If we refuse to recognize it, we are not entitled |
| W1:198.13 | that can be perceived an instant longer. Then are symbols done and | everything you ever thought you made completely vanished from the |
| W1:198.14 | He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts when | everything is his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the |
| W1:198.15 | Today we come still nearer to the end of | everything that yet would stand between this vision and our sight. |
| W1:R6.5 | day, no form of exercise is urged except a deep relinquishment of | everything that clutters up the mind and makes it deaf to reason, |
| W1:205.1 | [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of God is | everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my |
| W1:209.1 | me now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of God is | everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love |
| W2:WIW.3 | but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet | everything that they report is but illusion, which is kept apart from |
| W2:242.2 | by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You will give us | everything we want and that will help us find the way to You. |
| W2:251.1 | all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone. Now have I | everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I could |
| W2:251.1 | dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I | everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at peace. |
| W2:259.2 | its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You are the Source of | everything that is. And everything that is remains with You and You |
| W2:259.2 | can have no opposite. You are the Source of everything that is. And | everything that is remains with You and You with it. |
| W2:283.1 | Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created | everything that is? |
| W2:283.2 | one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source and | everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all |
| W2:286.1 | already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is | everything I hope to find already given me. Your peace is mine. My |
| W2:292.1 | And He guarantees that only joy can be the final outcome found for | everything. Yet it is up to us when this is reached—how long we let |
| W2:297.1 | is the only gift I give because it is the only gift I want, and | everything I give I give myself. This is salvation's simple formula. |
| W2:298.2 | am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from | everything that would obscure my love for God, my Father, and His |
| W2:339.2 | a day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in | everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only |
| W2:343.1 | The end of suffering cannot be loss. The gift of | everything can but be gain. You only give. You never take away. And |
| W2:343.1 | because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And | everything is mine eternally. |
| W2:348.2 | God's grace suffices us in | everything that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be |
| W2:E.6 | to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in | everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love him, and He |
| M:2.4 | too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in | everything but seems to take time in the working-out. What could |
| M:4.20 | The time will be as right as is the answer. And this is true for | everything that happens now or in the future. The past as well held |
| M:6.4 | Given by God to God, who in this holy exchange can receive less than | everything? |
| M:10.3 | in advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and | everything involved in them in any way. And one would have to be |
| M:10.4 | come. He does know all the effects of His judgment on everyone and | everything involved in any way. And He is wholly fair to everyone, |
| M:12.2 | a change; it is a change of mind. Nothing external alters, but | everything internal now reflects only the Love of God. God can no |
| M:13.4 | Love. Who in his sane mind chooses nothing as a substitute for | everything? |
| M:13.8 | decision you make must mean in terms of cost. Decide for God, and | everything is given you at no cost at all. Decide against Him, and |
| M:13.8 | Him, and you choose nothing at the expense of the awareness of | everything. What would you teach? Remember only what you would learn. |
| M:16.11 | but God's.” His teachers know that this is so and have learned that | everything but this is magic. All belief in magic is maintained by |
| M:17.9 | not exist. The fear of God is causeless. But His love is Cause of | everything beyond all fear and thus forever real and always true. |
| M:20.2 | contrast first perceived has merely gone. Quiet has reached to cover | everything. |

| W1:66.8 | is necessary to define God as something He is not. Love cannot give | evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot give what He does |
| W1:66.8 | He is not. Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is | evil. God cannot give what He does not have, and He cannot have what |
| W1:66.8 | have what He is not. Unless God gives you only happiness, He must be | evil. And it is this definition of Him which you are believing if you |
| W1:93.1 | You think you are the home of | evil, darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth |
| W1:93.4 | Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the | evil that you think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are |
| W1:93.6 | it nor can change what God created as eternal. The self you made, | evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed |
| W1:93.7 | you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever | evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever |
| W1:93.11 | God created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny idols of | evil and sinfulness you have made to replace it. Let it come into its |
| W1:96.1 | you are One Self, you experience yourself as two—as both good and | evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of being split |
| W1:96.3 | are set. Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, and good and | evil have no meeting place. The self you made can never be your Self, |
| W1:110.1 | the universe so that what God created was replaced by fear and | evil, misery and death. |
| W1:110.2 | If you remain as God created you, fear has no meaning, | evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's idea is |

| W1:190.8 | Pain is the thought of | evil taking form and working havoc in your holy mind. Pain is the |
| W1:191.3 | the legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and look on | evil, sin, and death. And watch despair snatch from your fingers |
| W1:194.8 | memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and | evil with the truth of love. Think you the world could fail to gain |
| W1:200.6 | serve a mighty function. Is not the escape of God's beloved Son from | evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a worthy |

| W2:WIS.3 | “proof” that what has no reality is real. Sin “proves” God's Son is | evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must die. And God |

| W2:333.2 | light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our | evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone |
| M:4.15 | teachers lies in their gentleness, for they have understood their | evil thoughts came neither from God's Son nor his Creator. Thus did |

| M:14.1 | excluding no one, limitless in gentleness, will cover it, hiding all | evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the world |
| M:28.6 | to welcome them with joy. As long as any mind remains possessed of | evil dreams, the thought of hell is real. God's teachers have the |

| Tx:8.88 | quite literally, there can be nothing which prevents you from doing | exactly what I ask, and everything which argues for your doing it. I |
| Tx:9.15 | ego will attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is | exactly what the ego does. It is totally unpredictable in its |
| Tx:9.28 | fulfill His function. He needs no help for this. He will tell you | exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for help and will |
| Tx:9.78 | idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is | exactly what the ego does perceive in a Son of God; a sick god, |
| Tx:10.34 | harbor it within. It is difficult at first to realize that this is | exactly the same thing, for there is no distinction between within |
| Tx:10.41 | that the term itself does not mean anything. In fact, it contains | exactly the contradiction in terms which makes it meaningless. |
| Tx:11.4 | is nothing to prevent you from recognizing all calls for help as | exactly what they are except your own perceived need to attack. It is |
| Tx:11.37 | deny the ego's existence, and you will surely do so when you realize | exactly what the journey is on which the ego sets you. |
| Tx:13.47 | except that His conclusions are not insane. They take a direction | exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the ego points to |
| Tx:13.64 | motivation, and the interference in your motivation for learning is | exactly the same as that which interferes with all your thinking. The |
| Tx:14.51 | The miracle offers | exactly the same response to every call for help. It does not judge |
| Tx:15.53 | God knows you now. He remembers nothing, having always known you | exactly as He knows you now. The holy instant parallels His knowing |
| Tx:15.86 | process of looking straight at all the interference and seeing it | exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as wholly without |
| Tx:16.36 | could this be done? It is essential that we look very closely at | exactly what it is you think you can do to solve the dilemma, which |

| Tx:18.1 | To substitute is to accept instead. If you would but consider | exactly what this entails, you would perceive at once how much at |
| Tx:21.64 | a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you will learn of him | exactly what you taught. For you can teach him only that he is as you |
| Tx:25.2 | son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide | exactly where he is and walks with him within his holiness, as plain |
| Tx:26.32 | no effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed and everything | exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny |

| Tx:27.70 | you, then you must see the causes of the things you choose between | exactly as they are and where they are. What choices can be made |
| Tx:27.83 | at its beginning, ending at its cause. The world you see depicts | exactly what you thought you did. Except that now you think that what |

| Tx:30.44 | of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be | exactly as it was before the time when you forgot and will be just |

| Tx:31.1 | you perceive no differences in false and true. You have been told | exactly how to tell one from the other and just what to do if you |
| Tx:31.51 | you behave as if it were. Does he react for you? And did he know | exactly what would happen? Could he see your future and ordain before |
| Tx:31.59 | Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed | exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised to doubt and |

| W1:132.5 | waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found | exactly what you looked for when you came. There is no world apart |

| Tx:1.96 | it aims to correct. Only man makes this kind of mistake. It is an | example of the foolish consistency which his own false beliefs have |
| Tx:2.88 | as you will. Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. For | example, when you say, “Don't give it a thought,” you imply that if |
| Tx:2.89 | illustrate the prevailing lack of awareness of thought-power. For | example, you say, “Just an idle thought,” and mean that the thought |

| Tx:5.53 | is done in many ways: by formal means, by guidance, and above all by | example. Teaching is therapy, because it means the sharing of ideas |
| Tx:5.83 | in the Bible and also in this course under many different terms. For | example, “God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (or |

| Tx:6.9 | of my own teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow my | example in the face of much less extreme temptations to misperceive |
| Tx:6.14 | use my experiences constructively, however, you must still follow my | example in how to perceive them. |
| Tx:7.22 | which was applied to the learning. You could not have a better | example of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The |
| Tx:8.77 | device can tell you how you feel. Sickness is merely another | example of your insistence on asking the guidance of a teacher who |

| W1:29.5 | should therefore be as free of self-selection as possible. For | example, a suitable list might include: |
| W1:36.3 | specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for | example: |
| W1:38.6 | and add some relevant thoughts of your own. You might like, for | example, to include thoughts such as: |

| W1:46.10 | but the central idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for | example: |
| W1:76.8 | of “laws” we have believed we must obey. These would include, for | example, the laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and |

| Tx:17.74 | every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness has not forced any | exclusion on it. It is a situation of perfect peace simply because |

| W1:5.1 | form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the | exercises for the day. Applying the same idea to each of them |
| W1:5.5 | In these | exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may find it hard to |
| W1:5.5 | weight to some subjects than to others. It might help to precede the | exercises with the statement: |
| W1:5.9 | this form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these | exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same. |
| W1:6.1 | The | exercises with this idea are very similar to the preceding ones. |
| W1:6.7 | this form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these | exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same. |
| W1:8.3 | The purpose of the | exercises for today is to begin to train your mind to recognize when |
| W1:8.4 | The | exercises for today should be done with eyes closed. This is because |
| W1:9.1 | not understand is a prerequisite for undoing your false ideas. These | exercises are concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do |
| W1:9.2 | applying it. No more than that is required for these or any other | exercises. Each little step will clear a little of the darkness away, |
| W1:9.3 | These | exercises, for which three or four practice periods are sufficient, |
| W1:10.4 | Close your eyes for these | exercises and introduce them by repeating the idea for today quite |
| W1:10.6 | The | exercises consist, as before, in searching your mind for all the |
| W1:11.3 | To do these | exercises for maximum benefit, the eyes should move from one thing to |
| W1:11.3 | freedom from worry that we are trying to achieve. On concluding the | exercises, close your eyes and repeat the idea once more, slowly, to |
| W1:12.2 | These | exercises are done with eyes open. Look around you, this time quite |
| W1:12.5 | may not yet understand why these “nice” adjectives belong in these | exercises, but remember that a “good world” implies a “bad” one, and |
| W1:12.5 | All terms which cross your mind are suitable subjects for today's | exercises. Their seeming quality does not matter. |
| W1:12.6 | pleasant and what you think is unpleasant. For the purposes of these | exercises, there is no difference between them. At the end of the |
| W1:12.8 | been erased, you will see His. That is the ultimate purpose of these | exercises. |
| W1:12.9 | exceed a minute. You may find even this too long. Terminate the | exercises whenever you experience a sense of strain. |
| W1:13.4 | The | exercises for today, which should be done about three or four times |
| W1:14.2 | The | exercises for today are to be practiced with eyes closed throughout. |
| W1:15.3 | true perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These | exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the |
| W1:18.2 | refer to what you see as much as to how you see it. Therefore, the | exercises for today will emphasize this aspect of your perception. |
| W1:19.3 | The minute or so of mind searching which today's | exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The idea is |
| W1:20.4 | The | exercises for today consist in reminding yourselves throughout the |
| W1:24.3 | The | exercises for today require much more honesty than you are accustomed |
| W1:24.3 | are suggested for each of the mind searching periods which the | exercises involve. |
| W1:24.8 | If these | exercises are done properly, you will quickly recognize that you are |
| W1:25.4 | Before you can make any sense out of the | exercises for today, one more thought is necessary. At the most |
| W1:26.11 | If you are doing the | exercises properly, you should have some five or six distressing |
| W1:27.1 | you really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's | exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a |
| W1:28.4 | not question what we have already defined. And the purpose of these | exercises is to ask questions and receive the answers. In saying, |
| W1:32.2 | outside you and the other the world you see in your mind. In today's | exercises, try to introduce the thought that both are in your own |
| W1:32.4 | than three required. More than five can be utilized if you find the | exercises restful. To facilitate this, select a time when few |
| W1:32.5 | These | exercises are also to be continued during the day as often as |
| W1:34.2 | Three longer practice periods are required for today's | exercises. One in the morning and one in the evening are advised, |
| W1:35.10 | to you. Although nothing that does occur should be omitted from the | exercises, nothing should be “dug out” with effort. Neither force nor |
| W1:37.9 | The shorter | exercises consist of repeating the idea as often as you can. It is |
| W1:38.3 | In today's | exercises, we will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, |
| W1:38.8 | Introduce whatever variations appeal to you, but keep the | exercises focused on the theme “There is nothing my holiness cannot |
| W1:38.8 | “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” The purpose of today's | exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense that you have |
| W1:39.1 | which this workbook was written, the ideas which are used for the | exercises are very simple, very clear, and totally unambiguous. We |
| W1:39.3 | A savior must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's | exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is |
| W1:39.3 | salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply the | exercises to your own world, the whole world stands to benefit. |
| W1:39.7 | with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today's | exercises. It is imperative for your own salvation that you see them |
| W1:40.3 | Today's | exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today's idea, and |
| W1:42.8 | searching for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for today's | exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you |
| W1:43.5 | to what you see. Four or five subjects for this phase of the | exercises are sufficient. You might say, for example: |
| W1:43.11 | with irrelevant thoughts. Return to the first phase of the | exercises as often as necessary to prevent this. |
| W1:44.9 | reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try, however, to return to the | exercises as soon as possible. |
| W1:44.10 | If you are doing the | exercises correctly, you should experience some sense of relaxation |
| W1:45.6 | Begin the | exercises for today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your |
| W1:45.10 | rest is wholly changeless. It is this foundation toward which the | exercises for today are directed. Here is your mind joined with the |
| W1:46.3 | Today's | exercises require at least three full five-minute practice periods |
| W1:46.4 | If you are doing the | exercises well, you should have no difficulty in finding a number of |
| W1:R1.1 | you should consider in your review. In the practice periods, the | exercises should be done as follows: |
| W1:R1.4 | After you have read the idea and the related comments, the | exercises should be done with your eyes closed and when you are alone |
| W1:64.11 | Two forms of shorter practice periods are required. At times, do the | exercises with your eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the |
| W1:66.4 | you must be happiness, even if it appears to be different. Today's | exercises are an attempt to go beyond these differences in |
| W1:69.7 | If you are doing the | exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up |
| W1:71.12 | His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very fact that you are doing the | exercises proves that you have some willingness to listen. This is |
| W1:72.18 | for today since they will be somewhat longer than usual. These | exercises begin with this: |
| W1:73.9 | free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the | exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we will find |
| W1:74.1 | today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all our | exercises are directed. God's is the only will. When you have |
| W1:74.2 | There is great peace in today's idea. And the | exercises for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself |
| W1:75.3 | Our | exercises for today will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for |
| W1:79.8 | Our | exercises for today will be successful to the extent to which we do |
| W1:91.8 | The question with which this statement ends is needed for our | exercises today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But |
| W1:93.12 | or even able to use the first five minutes of each hour for these | exercises. Try, however, to do so when you can. At least remember to |
| W1:94.11 | Make every effort to do the hourly | exercises today. Each one you do will be a giant stride toward your |
| W1:95.3 | hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our | exercises towards reaching your One Self, which is united with its |
| W1:97.8 | Begin these happy | exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them |
| W1:100.8 | Begin the | exercises with the thought today's idea contains. Then realize your |
| W1:101.5 | You need the practice periods today. The | exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come |
| W1:102.3 | days we will continue to devote our longer practice periods to | exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's Will has |
| W1:106.8 | giving, not the way you understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's | exercises should begin with this request for your enlightenment: |
| W1:107.9 | doubt we walk with truth today and count on it to enter into all the | exercises that we do this day. |
| W1:108.13 | time on, and we will make much faster progress now. Think of the | exercises for today as quick advances in your learning, made still |
| W1:R3.9 | The | exercises to be done throughout the day are equally important and |
| W1:132.8 | the world. And some will find it in this course and in the | exercises that we do today. |

| Tx:1.97 | the miscreation is necessarily believed in by its maker, it does not | exist at all at the level of true creation. |
| Tx:1.98 | as false. All aspects of fear are untrue because they do not | exist at the higher creative level, and therefore do not exist at |

| Tx:2.46 | separation, the mind was invulnerable to fear because fear did not | exist. Both the separation and the fear are miscreations of the mind |
| Tx:2.60 | meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not really | exist. This recognition is a far better protective device than any |
| Tx:2.61 | and therefore does not require correction. The body does not really | exist except as a learning device for the mind. This learning device |

| Tx:6.55 | is to assume inequality, which the Holy Spirit demonstrates does not | exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of mind, and everything God |
| Tx:6.62 | you are. It is clearly a separation device and therefore does not | exist. The Holy Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and |
| Tx:7.33 | not know Him. The state is unknown to Him and therefore does not | exist, but those who sleep are stupefied, or better, unaware. [And |

| Tx:9.14 | everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that the ego does not | exist and proves it. Follow His teaching in forgiveness then, because |
| Tx:9.56 | cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of God does not | exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because it is used to |
| Tx:9.60 | beside you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him can | exist? Nothing beyond Him can happen, because nothing except Him is |
| Tx:9.65 | that your banishment is not of God and therefore does not | exist. You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but perfectly |
| Tx:9.78 | from the dangers which the idol itself stands for, but which do not | exist. |
| Tx:9.83 | to your gods and how vigilant you are on their behalf. Yet they | exist only because you honor them. Place honor where it is due, and |
| Tx:9.88 | by His laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them does not | exist. “Laws of chaos” are meaningless by definition. Creation is |
| Tx:10.40 | step is obviously to recognize that what has no effects does not | exist. Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what leads to nothing has |
| Tx:10.57 | through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His Son does not | exist, yet where the Son is, the Father must be. Accept what God does |
| Tx:10.68 | contradictory to His Will is either great or small. What does not | exist has no size and no measure. To God all things are possible. And |
| Tx:10.72 | enables you to perceive a condition in which opposites do not | exist. And this is the condition of knowledge. Without this |
| Tx:11.11 | of fear is removed. Thereby you teach yourself that fear does not | exist in you, for you have in yourself the means for removing it and |
| Tx:13.1 | Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He teaches that the past does not | exist, a fact which belongs to the sphere of knowledge and which |
| Tx:13.71 | His guilt is wholly without cause, and being without cause, cannot | exist. |
| Tx:14.4 | God is. Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot | exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of God has |
| Tx:14.26 | point of view at all but merely a belief in something that does not | exist. It is only this belief that the unknowing have, and by it they |
| Tx:14.69 | you would teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do not | exist in His Mind at all. For the past binds Him not and therefore |
| Tx:15.9 | is not of the present but only of the past and future, which do not | exist. There is no fear in the present when each instant stands clear |
| Tx:15.11 | not change. Learn from this instant more than merely hell does not | exist. In this redeeming instant lies Heaven. And Heaven will not |
| Tx:15.51 | liking, offering for your seeking a picture whose likeness does not | exist. For there is nothing in Heaven or earth that it resembles, and |
| Tx:16.31 | hate against the symbols of love play out a conflict which does not | exist. For symbols stand for something else, and the symbol of love |
| Tx:16.36 | solve the dilemma, which seems very real to you, but which does not | exist. You have come very close to truth, and only this stands |
| Tx:18.65 | At no single instant does the body | exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but never |
| Tx:18.76 | tiny part regards itself as you. It is not missing; it could not | exist if it were separate, nor would the whole be whole without it. |
| Tx:19.49 | sees not, and each believes that what the other looks upon does not | exist. Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love |
| Tx:21.53 | you will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must | exist. And if it exists for you and has your freedom as the purpose |
| Tx:22.19 | instance, and without exception. To believe that one exception can | exist is to confuse what is the same with what is different. One |
| Tx:23.4 | are far beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not | exist. Your purpose is at variance with littleness of any kind. And |
| Tx:23.14 | Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot | exist between one power and nothingness. There is nothing you could |
| Tx:25.87 | it does not make the same unlike, it sees no differences where none | exist. And thus it is the same for everyone, because it sees no |
| Tx:26.21 | of knowledge on perception—it has no meaning and does not | exist. This is not your decision. It is but a simple statement of a |
| Tx:27.14 | of the two, I pardon you my hurt.” His pardon and your hurt cannot | exist together. One denies the other and must make it false. |
| Tx:27.64 | the cause of what I do. Your presence justifies my wrath, and you | exist and think apart from me. While you attack, I must be innocent. |
| Tx:27.77 | the dreaming of the 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 |
| Tx:27.89 | that every one is like the rest. He sees no differences where none | exist, and He will teach you how each one is caused. None has a |
| Tx:28.47 | Him. There is no other choice. Except you share it, nothing can | exist. And you exist because God shared His Will with you, that His |
| Tx:28.47 | is no other choice. Except you share it, nothing can exist. And you | exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might |
| Tx:28.53 | in a world perceived to be existing here. The world you see does not | exist because the place where you perceive it is not real. The gap is |
| Tx:29.19 | For if He be the sum of everything, then what is not in Him does not | exist, and His completion is its nothingness. Your savior is not |
| Tx:29.28 | if they be fulfilled or merely wanted. It is the idea that they | exist from which the fears arise. Dreams are not wanted more or less. |
| Tx:30.48 | Where could the Thought God holds of you | exist but where you are? Is your reality a thing apart from you and |
| Tx:31.42 | no road that leads away from Him. A journey from yourself does not | exist. How foolish and insane it is to think that there could be a |
| Tx:31.49 | are learned. They are not natural. Apart from learning, they do not | exist. They are not given, and they must be made. Not one of them is |
| W1:13.3 | which it does not possess and crowd it with images that do not | exist. To the ego, illusions are safety devices, as they must also be |
| W1:14.1 | a meaningless world is impossible. What God did not create does not | exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The |
| W1:14.1 | What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does | exist exists as He created it. The world you see has nothing to do |
| W1:14.1 | to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not | exist. |
| W1:22.2 | that you hate and would attack and kill. All that you fear does not | exist. |
| W1:43.2 | In God you cannot see. Perception has no function in God and does not | exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, |
| W1:52.6 | of which I am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do not | exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and |
| W1:53.4 | of the world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not | exist. |
| W1:53.5 | God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world | exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and |
| W1:54.3 | I see witnesses to what I think. If I did not think, I would not | exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the world I see as the |
| W1:76.6 | Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not | exist. Only what it is meant to hide will save you. |
| W1:80.8 | today. Let us be determined to be free of problems that do not | exist. The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about |
| W1:88.7 | My perception of this shows me I believe in laws which do not | exist. I see only the laws of God at work in this. Let me allow God's |
| W1:93.5 | self you made is not the Son of God. Therefore, this self does not | exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think means nothing. It |
| W1:96.4 | A mind and body cannot both | exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other |
| W1:96.7 | cannot make illusions real and solve a problem that does not | exist. Perhaps you hope it can. Yet would you have God's plan for the |
| W1:99.3 | earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a mind where both of them | exist? The mind that sees illusions thinks them real. They have |
| W1:102.2 | It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers nothing and does not | exist. And everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence |
| W1:110.2 | 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 complete |
| W1:129.3 | where losing is impossible, where love endures forever, hate cannot | exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things |
| W1:131.10 | a hell opposing Heaven and believes that he abides in what does not | exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave foolish |
| W1:132.8 | that is not of this world, which shows them that the world does not | exist because what they behold must be the truth, and yet it clearly |
| W1:132.9 | Today's idea is true because the world does not | exist. And if it is indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it |
| W1:132.10 | change to your eternal state. How can a world of time and place | exist if you remain as God created you? |
| W1:137.11 | of healing it is given them to give. What is opposed to God does not | exist. And who accepts it not within his mind becomes a haven where |

| Tx:10.32 | hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. What you | experience when you deny your Father is still for your protection, |
| Tx:10.44 | extension of His Will cannot be unlike itself. The real conflict you | experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of |
| Tx:10.49 | of the form it takes and quite apart from how the ego wants you to | experience it, is therefore the basic ego threat. Its dream of |
| Tx:10.59 | what you do not believe. Perceptions are built up on the basis of | experience, and experience leads to beliefs. It is not until beliefs |
| Tx:10.59 | believe. Perceptions are built up on the basis of experience, and | experience leads to beliefs. It is not until beliefs are fixed that |
| Tx:10.61 | perceptions. For perceptions are learned with beliefs,] and | experience teaches. I am leading you to a new kind of experience, |
| Tx:10.61 | beliefs,] and experience teaches. I am leading you to a new kind of | experience, which you will become less and less willing to deny. |
| Tx:11.25 | that he believes salvation lies in it. If you insist on refusing and | experience a quick response of opposition, you are believing that |
| Tx:12.2 | to get rid of it, but you are actually merely concealing it. You do | experience guilt feelings, but you have no idea why. On the contrary, |
| Tx:12.24 | and the real Heaven is the greatest threat you think you could | experience. For hell and oblivion are ideas which you made up, and |
| Tx:12.46 | You consider it “natural” to use your past | experience as the reference point from which to judge the present. |
| Tx:12.48 | purposes. You would anticipate the future on the basis of your past | experience and plan for it accordingly. Yet by doing so, you are |
| Tx:13.34 | kindness, will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you | experience will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise |
| Tx:13.67 | What I | experience, I will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing |
| Tx:14.2 | how much your Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your | experience of the world to help you understand it. There is nothing |
| Tx:14.8 | Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt and will | experience it. Protect his purity from every thought that would steal |
| Tx:15.21 | go along. To learn to separate out this single second and begin to | experience it as timeless, is to begin to experience yourself as not |
| Tx:15.21 | single second and begin to experience it as timeless, is to begin to | experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you will not be |
| Tx:15.45 | judgment entirely. Judgment always rests on the past, for past | experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment becomes |
| Tx:15.46 | is to believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to | experience yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and |
| Tx:15.48 | which you have chosen to support the ego, as a learning | experience which points to truth. Under His teaching, every |
| Tx:15.64 | the power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you will | experience the full communication of ideas with ideas. Through your |
| Tx:15.78 | completion makes you His in your awareness. And here it is that you | experience yourself as you were created and as you are. |
| Tx:15.89 | and the need your creations have to be with you forever, you would | experience the attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak |
| Tx:15.91 | of a body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and you | experience only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided, you |
| Tx:16.57 | yourself. Its whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning | experience designed to lead away from truth and into fantasy. Yet for |
| Tx:16.76 | awareness of the complete difference in all respects between your | experience of truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. |
| Tx:16.76 | you joined Him. The illusions you bring with you will weaken the | experience of Him for a while and will prevent you from keeping the |
| Tx:16.76 | experience of Him for a while and will prevent you from keeping the | experience in your mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your |
| Tx:17.16 | bodies are central to all unholy relationships is evident. Your own | experience has taught you this. But what you do not realize are all |
| Tx:17.42 | As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you will | experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be true. |
| Tx:17.43 | witnessed to by its results. The holy instant never fails. The | experience of it is always felt. Yet without expression, it is not |
| Tx:17.43 | not remembered. The holy relationship is a constant reminder of the | experience in which the relationship became what it is. And as the |
| Tx:17.54 | The | experience of an instant, however compelling it may be, is easily |
| Tx:17.61 | them, where peace is they must be. Truth comes of itself. If you | experience peace, it is because the truth has come to you, and you |
| Tx:17.61 | ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation brings the | experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal |
| Tx:17.63 | truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of | experience, and the illusion of peace is not the condition in which |
| Tx:18.30 | to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you | experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to help us do |
| Tx:18.46 | lie in the fact that it is now impossible for either of you to | experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never |
| Tx:18.61 | self. In these instants of release from physical restrictions, you | experience much of what happens in the holy instant; the lifting of |
| Tx:18.61 | instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden | experience of peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of |
| Tx:20.31 | Those who choose freedom will | experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they will |
| Tx:20.46 | Nothing can show the contrast better than the | experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The first is |
| Tx:20.59 | sin to holiness should now be almost over. To the extent you still | experience it, you are refusing to leave the means to Him Who changed |
| Tx:21.15 | I am responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I | experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything |
| Tx:21.30 | for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may imagine that you still | experience its effects, but it is not your purpose, and you no longer |
| Tx:21.50 | that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will | experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of |
| Tx:21.90 | that could be always yours. Here is the constant peace you could | experience forever. Here is what denial has denied revealed to you. |
| Tx:22.63 | the alternatives, this seems more natural and more in line with your | experience. And therefore it is necessary that you have other |
| Tx:22.64 | of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other will | experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are one? |
| Tx:25.75 | in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look to your | experience within the world, which is but shadows of all that is |
| Tx:27.10 | It has no life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart from all | experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its |
| Tx:30.7 | have, the things you want to happen to you, and the things you would | experience and say, |
| Tx:30.83 | labels change with other judgments made on different aspects of | experience. And then in looking back you think you see another |
| W1:5.10 | source of the upset as you perceive it and of the feelings as you | experience it. Further examples are: |
| W1:10.8 | and it should be reduced to half a minute or even less if you | experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly |
| W1:12.9 | may find even this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you | experience a sense of strain. |
| W1:17.9 | and no less than three are required for maximum benefit even if you | experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of the practice |
| W1:21.2 | ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree of the emotion you | experience does not matter. You will become increasingly aware that a |
| W1:24.8 | that you have no unified outcome in mind, and that you must | experience disappointment in connection with some of your goals |
| W1:28.3 | telling it what it is. You are not binding its meaning to your tiny | experience of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your little |
| W1:29.7 | the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice you should | experience a sense of restfulness as you do this. |
| W1:34.4 | If you begin to | experience difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to |
| W1:41.1 | the sense of loneliness and abandonment which all the separated ones | experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. So |
| W1:44.10 | If you are doing the exercises correctly, you should | experience some sense of relaxation and even a feeling that you are |
| W1:74.2 | conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today and | experience the peace this recognition brings. |
| W1:74.11 | you have cleared your mind in this way, close your eyes and try to | experience the peace to which your reality entitles you. Sink into |
| W1:74.11 | of drowsiness and enervation. Joy characterizes peace. By this | experience will you recognize that you have reached it. |
| W1:74.12 | in refusing to allow retreat into withdrawal, even if you do not | experience the peace you seek. |
| W1:76.14 | or five times an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to | experience ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It |
| W1:82.5 | function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my function, I will not | experience the joy that God intends for me. |
| W1:84.2 | I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot | experience loss, and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize |
| W1:87.2 | leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I will | experience the peace of true perception. |
| W1:91.5 | do what it desires. You can escape the body if you choose. You can | experience the strength in you. |
| W1:91.9 | to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. You need a real | experience of something else, something more solid and more sure, |
| W1:91.12 | In the second phase of the exercise period, try to | experience these truths about yourself. Concentrate particularly on |
| W1:91.12 | these truths about yourself. Concentrate particularly on the | experience of strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is |
| W1:93.10 | self-images and spend the rest of the practice period in trying to | experience what God has given you in place of what you have decreed |
| W1:93.11 | or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to | experience the unity of your One Self. Try to appreciate its holiness |
| W1:96.1 | Although you are One Self, you | experience yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and |
| W1:105.9 | gift of peace and joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to | experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can |
| W1:124.7 | give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would | experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our |
| W1:124.7 | Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In our | experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from our |
| W1:132.8 | suddenly on point of death and rise to teach it. Others find it in | experience that is not of this world, which shows them that the world |
| W1:135.16 | Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by learning and | experience obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It |
| W1:135.17 | has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past | experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it does not |
| W1:157.1 | of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new | experience, a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent |
| W1:157.2 | point in the curriculum. We add a new dimension now—a fresh | experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned already and |
| W1:157.5 | you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your | experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the |
| W1:157.6 | today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you | experience this day to light the world. We cannot give experience |
| W1:157.6 | of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot give | experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes |
| W1:157.6 | which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the same | experience in which the world is quietly forgot and Heaven is |
| W1:157.7 | As this | experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, |
| W1:157.8 | dreamed for you this journey which you make and start today with the | experience this day holds out to you to be your own. |
| W1:158.2 | today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text. | Experience cannot be shared directly in the way that vision can. The |
| W1:158.4 | appearances which does not change. The script is written. When | experience will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but |
| W1:158.5 | The teacher does not give | experience because he did not learn it. It revealed itself to him at |
| W1:158.6 | Here are all contradictions reconciled, for here the journey ends. | Experience, unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is |
| W1:169.3 | know and thus is ready to accept a state completely different from | experience with which it is familiarly at home. |
| W1:169.4 | And yet we urge you to bear witness to the Word of God to hasten the | experience of truth and speed its advent into every mind which |
| W1:169.7 | This is beyond | experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, |
| W1:169.11 | And now we ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. | Experience that grace provides will end in time, for grace |
| W1:169.11 | returned by you from holy instants you receive through grace in your | experience to all who see the light that lingers on your face. |
| W1:169.13 | not far behind. Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace and for | experience that comes from grace. We welcome the release it offers |
| W1:R5.12 | Let this review become a time in which we share a new | experience for you, yet one as old as time, and older still. Hallowed |
| W1:R5.15 | to recall the mind as needed to its purpose. We place faith in the | experience that comes from practice, not the means we use. We wait |
| W1:R5.15 | that comes from practice, not the means we use. We wait for the | experience and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use |
| W1:I2.2 | convey the sense of liberation which their lifting brings. But the | experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you give up your |
| W1:I2.3 | words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress still. | Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains beyond |
| W1:181.2 | you held before. Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you | experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith |
| W1:181.10 | We look straight into the present. And we give our trust to the | experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. |
| W1:183.10 | Today you can achieve a state in which you will | experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the |
| W1:183.12 | possibly convey, is peace eternal. In our Father's Name, we would | experience this peace today. And in His Name it shall be given us. |
| W1:184.13 | No one can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. | Experience must come to supplement the word. But first you must |
| W1:186.5 | is so. The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go beyond them to | experience which might affront their stance. Yet are the humble free |
| W1:186.8 | day with welcome or with tears. Our very being seems to change as we | experience a thousand shifts in mood, and our emotions raise us high |
| W1:194.4 | the future go and place it in God's hands. And you will see by your | experience that you have laid the past and present in His hands as |
| W1:194.7 | hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain or bring | experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard |
| W2:I.1 | but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now we seek direct | experience of truth alone. The lessons which remain are merely |
| W2:I.11 | will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep | experience which should come afterwards. These special thoughts |

| W2:310.1 | with You, as You have chosen all my days should be. And what I will | experience is not of time at all. The joy that comes to me is not of |
| W2:327.1 | He will hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my | experience that this is true, and faith in Him must surely come to |

| Tx:1.70 | false underpinnings are given up, the equilibrium is temporarily | experienced as unstable. However, the fact is that nothing is less |

| Tx:4.17 | you. The ego is afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have | experienced it, you will withdraw all protection from the ego and |
| Tx:4.48 | you the knowledge of permanence and unshakable being. No one who has | experienced the revelation of this can ever fully believe in the ego |
| Tx:4.49 | it. No human love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has | experienced love without ambivalence, the concept is beyond its |

| Tx:8.51 | without distance to a goal that has never changed. Truth can only be | experienced. It cannot be described, and it cannot be explained. I |
| Tx:8.107 | Everyone who has ever tried to use prayer to request something has | experienced what appears to be failure. This is not only true in |
| Tx:9.53 | and are therefore on the same level. Being the level of shift, it is | experienced as shifting, and extremes are its essential |
| Tx:9.90 | When you have | experienced the protection of God, the making of idols becomes |
| Tx:14.48 | from here. From the world's viewpoint, this is impossible. You have | experienced lack of competition among your thoughts, which, even |
| Tx:15.7 | does. The only way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be | experienced is to bring hell here, but always as a foretaste of the |
| Tx:15.62 | swiftly as the veil of time is pushed aside. No one who has not yet | experienced the lifting of the veil and felt himself drawn |
| Tx:16.71 | the past and its total commitment to it. No special relationship is | experienced in the present. Shades of the past envelop it and make it |
| Tx:17.47 | beneficent and joyous. But at the beginning, the situation is | experienced as very precarious. A relationship undertaken by two |

| Tx:2.88 | Everyone | experiences fear, and no one enjoys it. Yet it would take very little |
| Tx:4.45 | point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The ego therefore | experiences threat and not only censors but also reinterprets the |
| Tx:4.95 | need to protect itself, and it will disrupt communication when it | experiences threat. While this is always so, individual egos perceive |
| Tx:6.13 | We are still equal as learners, even though we need not have equal | experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can learn enough from |
| Tx:6.14 | to hear the Holy Spirit in others, you can learn from their | experiences and gain from them without experiencing them yourselves. |

| Tx:11.59 | become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural | extension. Love transfers to love without any interference, for the |
| Tx:11.60 | one with it. Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving the | extension of Himself which is His Son. The world has no purpose as it |
| Tx:14.7 | that does not share His shining innocence. Creation is the natural | extension of perfect purity. Your only calling here is to devote |

| Tx:19.37 | will gently cover them, extending past completely unhindered. The | extension of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to |
| Tx:19.68 | the peace He gave instead, without the limits which would hold its | extension back and so would limit your awareness of it. For what He |
| Tx:22.59 | universal blessing to look on what your Father loves with charity? | Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's function. Leave this to |

| Tx:1.66 | you that I will witness for anyone who lets me and to whatever | extent he permits it. Your witnessing demonstrates your belief and |
| Tx:1.80 | me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render complete only to the | extent to which I can share it. This may appear to contradict the |

| Tx:12.10 | it is so crucial that you look upon your hatred and realize its full | extent. You may also think that it would be easy enough for the Holy |
| Tx:13.50 | truth. This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the actual | extent of its insanity. There is no area of your perception that it |
| Tx:14.29 | to do the little He suggests you do, trusting Him only to the small | extent of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You will see |
| Tx:15.39 | within the holy instant, as clear as you would have me. And the | extent to which you learn to be willing to accept me is the measure |
| Tx:16.30 | to balance hate with love that makes love meaningless to you. The | extent of the split that lies in this you do not realize. And until |

| Tx:1.56 | 39. The Spiritual | eye is the mechanism of miracles, because what It perceives is true. |
| Tx:1.57 | 40. The miracle dissolves error, because the Spiritual | eye identifies error as false or unreal. This is the same as saying |
| Tx:1.105 | he can see the real vision. This vision is invisible to the physical | eye. The ultimate purpose of the body is to render itself |

| Tx:2.13 | visual misperceptions. Man's Spiritual eye can sleep, but a sleeping | eye can still see. What is seen in dreams seems to be very real. The |
| Tx:2.45 | The real beauty of the temple cannot be seen with the physical | eye. The Spiritual eye, on the other hand, cannot see the building at |
| Tx:2.45 | of the temple cannot be seen with the physical eye. The Spiritual | eye, on the other hand, cannot see the building at all because it has |
| Tx:2.48 | a perceptual turning-point. This ultimately reawakens the Spiritual | eye, simultaneously weakening the investment in physical sight. The |
| Tx:2.49 | The Spiritual | eye literally cannot see error and merely looks for Atonement. All |
| Tx:2.49 | which the physical eyes seek dissolve in its sight. The Spiritual | eye, which looks within, recognizes immediately that the altar has |
| Tx:2.67 | Corrective learning always begins with the awakening of the Spiritual | eye and the turning away from the belief in physical sight. The |
| Tx:2.67 | so often entails fear is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual | eye will see. We said before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error |
| Tx:2.67 | what his Spiritual eye will see. We said before that the Spiritual | eye cannot see error and is capable only of looking beyond it to the |
| Tx:2.67 | it to the defense of Atonement. There is no doubt that the Spiritual | eye does produce extreme discomfort by what it sees. Yet what man |
| Tx:2.67 | is not the final outcome of its perception. When the Spiritual | eye is permitted to look upon the defilement of the altar, it also |
| Tx:2.68 | Nothing the Spiritual | eye perceives can induce fear. Everything that results from accurate |
| Tx:2.68 | the need for correction forcibly into awareness. What the physical | eye sees is not corrective nor can it be corrected by any device |
| Tx:3.34 | Visions are the natural perception of the Spiritual | eye, but they are still corrections. The Spiritual eye is symbolic |
| Tx:3.34 | of the Spiritual eye, but they are still corrections. The Spiritual | eye is symbolic and therefore not a device for knowing. It is, |
| Tx:6.31 | which the Holy Spirit guides. You might remember that the human | eye perceives parallel lines as if they meet in the distance, which |
| Tx:21.46 | want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to shine and catch your | eye. Yet you would not “sell” Heaven to have them. |
| W1:7.10 | the idea for today indiscriminately to whatever catches your | eye. For example: |
| W1:17.4 | look about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your | eye long enough to say: |

| Tx:1.22 | believes that what he cannot see does not exist, and his physical | eyes cannot see in the dark. This is a very primitive solution and |
| Tx:2.49 | and merely looks for Atonement. All the solutions which the physical | eyes seek dissolve in its sight. The Spiritual eye, which looks |
| Tx:8.102 | impossible for you to change them. If you hold your hands over your | eyes, you will not see because you are interfering with the laws of |
| Tx:9.11 | this through Him, you cannot look on your abilities through the | eyes of the ego, or you will judge them as it does. All their |
| Tx:9.31 | Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with your | eyes nor hear Him with your ears. How, then, can you perceive Him at |

| Tx:10.57 | can prove that a lie is true. What you see of His Son through the | eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet |
| Tx:10.66 | eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still lies heavy on your | eyes, but what you see in dreams is not reality. While you perceive |
| Tx:11.17 | in the darkness of your own certainty and refusing to open your | eyes and look at them. |
| Tx:11.56 | Correction is for all who cannot see. To open the | eyes of the blind is the Holy Spirit's mission, for He knows that |
| Tx:11.56 | from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of God. Christ's | eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with love if |
| Tx:11.72 | we will look upon the world as God created it together. Through the | eyes of Christ, only the real world exists and can be seen. As you |
| Tx:12.37 | love your brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open | eyes upon your world, it must occur to you that you have withdrawn |
| Tx:12.41 | in the private world of sleep, you see in dreams, although your | eyes are closed. And it is here that what you see you made. But let |
| Tx:12.42 | Do not seek vision through your | eyes, for you made your way of seeing that you might see in darkness, |
| Tx:12.49 | found it. Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it will dawn on | eyes that see. Your past was made in anger, and if you use it to |
| Tx:12.56 | that is why the nightmares come. You dream of isolation because your | eyes are closed. You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness |
| Tx:15.101 | nothing more than a gentle awakening and as simple as opening your | eyes to daylight when you have no more need of sleep. |
| Tx:16.30 | not to let it go. Your salvation will rise clearly before your open | eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love |
| Tx:17.12 | rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving | eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms vision and lets you see |
| Tx:18.22 | Let not the dream take hold to close your | eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make a world that is unreal. |
| Tx:18.83 | still worn and tired and the desert's dust still seems to cloud your | eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you welcomed has come to you |
| Tx:18.86 | the darkness and the lifelessness are seen only through the body's | eyes. Its vision is distorted, and the messages it transmits to you |
| Tx:18.87 | underneath, for it is not the body that could speak of this. Its | eyes perceive it not; its senses remain quite unaware of it; its |
| Tx:18.88 | which must always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's | eyes will never look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates. |
| Tx:19.12 | Son of God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the | eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven, free of all |
| Tx:19.12 | in him only what it would see in you. It sees not through the body's | eyes nor looks to bodies for its justification. It is the messenger |
| Tx:19.13 | Yet faith unites you in the holiness you see, not through the body's | eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in Whom you are |
| Tx:19.29 | which can be easily corrected in the mind, although the body's | eyes will see no change. The eyes see many things the mind corrects, |
| Tx:19.29 | in the mind, although the body's eyes will see no change. The | eyes see many things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the |
| Tx:19.29 | eyes see many things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the | eyes' illusions, but to the mind's corrections. |
| Tx:19.35 | instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise your | eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven will |
| Tx:19.36 | show you in each other, and let not sin arise again to blind your | eyes. For sin would keep you separate, but your Redeemer would have |
| Tx:19.51 | they return to him. No little shred of guilt escapes their hungry | eyes. And in their savage search for sin, they pounce on any living |
| Tx:19.95 | you stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon. Your | eyes look down, remembering your promise to your “friends.” The |
| Tx:19.95 | swore in blood not to desert, all rise and bid you not to raise your | eyes. For you realize that if you look on this and let the veil be |
| Tx:19.96 | to you the world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your | eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the world forever. |
| Tx:19.97 | Guide Who brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your | eyes, you will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But |
| Tx:19.97 | ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift up your | eyes and look upon each other in innocence born of complete |
| Tx:19.97 | of complete forgiveness of each other's illusions and through the | eyes of faith, which sees them not. |
| Tx:19.101 | will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your | eyes in faith together or not at all. |
| Tx:20.5 | to cover it or for its use. See all the useless things made for its | eyes to see. Think on the many offerings made for its pleasure and |
| Tx:20.5 | hated thing to draw your brother to you and to attract his body's | eyes? Learn you but offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it |
| Tx:20.9 | You look still with the body's | eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you have asked for and |
| Tx:20.10 | This Easter look with different | eyes upon each other. You have forgiven me. And yet I cannot use your |

| Tx:20.12 | glad refrain the Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our | eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in |
| Tx:20.20 | what the world is really like; how it would look through happy | eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on yourself. It is not |
| Tx:20.25 | chains for years, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted and with | eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, do |
| Tx:20.25 | hold on life so long forgotten. Strengthen your hold and raise your | eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom |
| Tx:20.65 | for your imaginings about him will seem real there. You closed your | eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this purpose |
| Tx:20.72 | sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. What can the body's | eyes perceive, with power to correct? Its eyes adjust to sin, unable |
| Tx:20.72 | gaze. What can the body's eyes perceive, with power to correct? Its | eyes adjust to sin, unable to overlook it in any form and seeing it |
| Tx:20.72 | any form and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look through its | eyes, and everything will stand condemned before you. All that could |
| Tx:21.3 | doors you thought were closed but which stand open before unseeing | eyes, waiting to welcome you. |
| Tx:21.10 | and shining circle. And all the circle fills with light before your | eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what is in it is no |
| Tx:21.42 | Loudly the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your | eyes will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you |
| Tx:21.77 | this decision but the choice whether to see him through the body's | eyes or let him be revealed to you through vision? How this decision |
| Tx:21.81 | see a sinless world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the body's | eyes and change what you desire. |
| Tx:22.6 | think is you. Reason would tell you that the world you see through | eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To whom would |
| Tx:22.6 | messages? Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent of the | eyes which look upon the world. If this is not your vision, what can |
| Tx:22.7 | vision would, of course, render this quite unnecessary. Yet if your | eyes are closed and you have called upon this thing to lead you, |
| Tx:22.18 | which they are accepted is irrelevant. No form of misery in reason's | eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be sure indeed |
| Tx:22.31 | on it without the help of reason would try to pass it. The body's | eyes behold it as solid granite, so thick it would be madness to |
| Tx:22.31 | error. The form it takes cannot conceal its emptiness from reason's | eyes. |
| Tx:22.32 | and does not know if it is there or not. Everything which the body's | eyes can see is a mistake, an error in perception, a distorted |
| Tx:22.33 | is a mistake, the form cannot prevent correction. The body's | eyes see only form. They cannot see beyond what they were made to |
| Tx:22.34 | These | eyes, made not to see, will never see. For the idea they represent |
| Tx:22.34 | them. What was its maker's goal but not to see? For this the body's | eyes are perfect means, but not for seeing. See how the body's eyes |
| Tx:22.34 | eyes are perfect means, but not for seeing. See how the body's | eyes rest on externals and cannot go beyond. Watch how they stop at |
| Tx:22.36 | would show you your forgiveness, be kept from you by what the body's | eyes can see. Let your awareness of your brother not be blocked by |
| Tx:22.41 | you saw beyond the veil which you will bring to light the tired | eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How thankful will they |
| Tx:22.49 | weight, solidity, and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's | eyes it looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a |
| Tx:22.53 | end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude before forgiving | eyes. You will be sanctified by one another, using your bodies only |
| Tx:22.58 | You will see your value through each other's | eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his savior in place of |
| Tx:23.33 | must be seen as sanity. And fear, with ashen lips and sightless | eyes, blinded and terrible to look upon, is lifted to the throne of |
| Tx:24.23 | seal but offers treachery to giver and receiver. Not one glance from | eyes it veils but looks on sight of death. Not one believer in its |
| Tx:24.32 | 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 you might look on |
| Tx:24.42 | Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He is your | eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He |
| Tx:24.43 | your brother first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its | eyes behold in him and love to look upon, it saw in you and looks on |
| Tx:24.43 | with flesh already loosened from the bone and sightless holes for | eyes, is like yourself? |
| Tx:24.44 | Rejoice you have no | eyes with which to see, no ears to listen, and no hands to hold nor |
| Tx:24.46 | His brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless | eyes and sings to them of Heaven that their ears may hear no more the |
| Tx:24.54 | It is His sinlessness that | eyes which see can look upon. It is His loveliness they see in |
| Tx:24.54 | Him in Whom your brother lives and you along with him. Let not your | eyes be blinded by the veil of specialness that hides the face of |
| Tx:24.59 | need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its | eyes, you are a separate universe with all the power to hold itself |
| Tx:24.70 | yourself. It is the means to make your wish come true. It gives the | eyes with which you look on it, the hands that feel it, and the ears |
| Tx:24.71 | within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own | eyes. It grows and withers, flourishes and dies. And you cannot |
| Tx:25.12 | Is it not evident that what the body's | eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you find a hope |
| Tx:25.30 | between you and His gentleness. It is not there in His forgiving | eyes. And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed |
| Tx:25.34 | where peace abides. This world you bring with you to all the weary | eyes and tired hearts that look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From |
| Tx:25.38 | both each time you look on one another. He has not gone because your | eyes are closed. But what is there to see by searching for your |
| Tx:25.38 | to see by searching for your savior, seeing Him through sightless | eyes? |
| Tx:25.43 | The grace of God rests gently on forgiving | eyes, and everything they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He |
| Tx:25.44 | Eyes become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems | |
| Tx:25.44 | to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful to the | eyes grown long accustomed to the dim effects perceived at twilight. |
| Tx:25.44 | and more obscure seems easier to look upon; less painful to the | eyes than what is wholly clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what |
| Tx:25.44 | eyes than what is wholly clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what | eyes are for. And who can say that he prefers the darkness and |
| Tx:25.44 | wants to see? The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your | eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible. |
| Tx:25.55 | But sin is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle | eyes would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each |
| Tx:25.82 | miracles depend on justice. Not as it is seen through this world's | eyes, but as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight |
| Tx:26.4 | the world recede before his song and sight of him replace the body's | eyes. |
| Tx:26.7 | he sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of life and make your | eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy Son, |
| Tx:26.35 | could be made again in time. You keep an ancient memory before your | eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of where he is. |
| Tx:26.77 | home and battle with His host. Regard him gently. Look with loving | eyes on him who carries Christ within him, that you may behold His |
| Tx:27.3 | upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before his | eyes that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and |
| Tx:27.6 | in love. And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed | eyes will look beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. |
| Tx:27.15 | can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin before his brother's | eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his |
| Tx:27.34 | be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which the | eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to be perceived. |
| Tx:27.47 | saved it but stepped back because he was afraid of being healed? The | eyes of all the dying bring reproach, and suffering whispers, “What |
| Tx:27.48 | blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And suffering | eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing |
| Tx:27.48 | you who blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance will light your | eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's |
| Tx:27.49 | it. The world of accusation is replaced by one in which all | eyes look lovingly upon the Friend who brought them their release. |
| Tx:27.56 | itself, holds all your memories and all your hopes. You use its | eyes to see, its ears to hear, and let it tell you what it is it |
| Tx:27.74 | death. The dream of guilt is fading from your sight, although your | eyes are closed. A smile has come to lighten up your sleeping face. |
| Tx:27.84 | go! It is not easy to perceive the jest when all around you do your | eyes behold its heavy consequences, but without their trifling cause. |
| Tx:28.50 | is a world established that is sick, and this the world the body's | eyes perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the voices which its |
| Tx:28.50 | little able to perceive as it can judge or understand or know. Its | eyes are blind; its ears are deaf. It cannot think, and so it cannot |
| Tx:28.51 | to be sick? And what that He created not can be? Let not your | eyes behold a dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were |
| Tx:28.51 | and other sights which can be seen and heard and understood. For | eyes and ears are senses without sense, and what they see and hear |
| Tx:28.51 | make a witness to the world you want. Let not the body's ears and | eyes perceive these countless fragments seen within the gap which you |
| Tx:29.24 | the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking | eyes will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you are saved. |
| Tx:31.62 | it so. But choose the Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your | eyes and bless your holy sight, that you may see the world of flesh |
| Tx:31.63 | of all this. And constancy arises in the sight of those whose | eyes salvation has released from looking at the cost of keeping guilt |
| Tx:31.64 | is your world salvation will undo and let you see another world your | eyes could never find. Be not concerned how this could ever be. You |
| Tx:31.66 | fit the picture as it was perceived before will change the world for | eyes that learn to see, because the concept of the self has changed. |
| Tx:31.66 | for you have forgiven it its trespasses and so it looks on you with | eyes that see as yours. Are you a body? So is all the world perceived |
| Tx:31.70 | of yourself, when you have reached the world beyond the sight your | eyes alone can offer you to see. For you will not interpret what you |
| Tx:31.78 | you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen through holy | eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus expect to see it |
| Tx:31.78 | everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm and open | eyes and what he sees. He brings the light to what he looks upon, |
| Tx:31.82 | Their savior stands, unknowing and unknown, beholding them with | eyes unopened. And they cannot see until he looks on them with seeing |
| Tx:31.82 | unopened. And they cannot see until he looks on them with seeing | eyes and offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God |
| Tx:31.93 | given you to join with him, and through the Christ in you unveil his | eyes and let him look upon the Christ in him. My brothers in |

| W1:I.4 | specified to the contrary, the exercise should be practiced with the | eyes open, since the aim is to learn how to see. The only rule that |
| W1:2.2 | sole criterion for applying the idea to anything is merely that your | eyes have lighted on it. Make no attempt to include anything |
| W1:8.4 | The exercises for today should be done with | eyes closed. This is because you actually cannot see anything, and it |
| W1:10.4 | Close your | eyes for these exercises and introduce them by repeating the idea for |

| W1:11.2 | eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your | eyes and look about, near or far, up or down—anywhere. During the |
| W1:11.3 | To do these exercises for maximum benefit, the | eyes should move from one thing to another fairly rapidly since they |
| W1:11.3 | we are trying to achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your | eyes and repeat the idea once more, slowly, to yourself. |
| W1:12.2 | These exercises are done with | eyes open. Look around you, this time quite slowly. Try to pace |
| W1:13.4 | practiced in a somewhat different way from the preceding ones. With | eyes closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and |
| W1:13.4 | With eyes closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your | eyes and look about you slowly, saying: |
| W1:13.6 | Repeat this statement to yourself as you look about. Then close your | eyes and conclude with: |
| W1:14.2 | The exercises for today are to be practiced with | eyes closed throughout. The mind searching period should be short, a |
| W1:14.4 | With | eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the world that cross your |
| W1:15.1 | “seeing” was made. This is the function you have given your body's | eyes. It is not seeing. It is image-making. It takes the place of |
| W1:15.3 | Do not be afraid of them. They are signs that you are opening your | eyes at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize |
| W1:15.4 | it to whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your | eyes rest on it as you say: |
| W1:16.4 | the idea for today, search your mind for a minute or so, with | eyes closed, and actively seek not to overlook any “little” thought |
| W1:17.2 | In applying today's idea, say to yourself, with | eyes open: |
| W1:19.3 | searching which today's exercises require are to be undertaken with | eyes closed. The idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind |
| W1:21.2 | periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close your | eyes and search your mind carefully for situations past, present or |
| W1:22.3 | at least five times today, for at least a minute each time. As your | eyes move slowly from one object to another, from one body to |
| W1:23.6 | about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and then close your | eyes and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many |
| W1:24.4 | repeating today's idea, followed by searching the mind with closed | eyes for unresolved situations about which you are currently |
| W1:25.6 | far, “important” or “unimportant,” “human” or “unhuman.” With your | eyes resting on each subject you so select, say, for example: |
| W1:25.8 | Say this quite slowly, without shifting your | eyes until you have completed the statement. Then move on to the next |
| W1:26.3 | that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your own | eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And |
| W1:26.6 | should begin with repeating the idea for today, then closing your | eyes and reviewing the unresolved situations whose outcomes are |
| W1:28.8 | the applications should include the name of the subject which your | eyes happen to light on, and you should rest your eyes on it while |
| W1:28.8 | subject which your eyes happen to light on, and you should rest your | eyes on it while saying: |
| W1:30.4 | by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body's | eyes at all. The mind is its only source. |
| W1:30.5 | devote several practice periods to applying today's idea with your | eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking within |
| W1:31.2 | slowly while repeating the idea two or three times. Then close your | eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You will escape |
| W1:32.3 | around at the world you see as outside yourself. Then close your | eyes and look around your inner world. Try to treat them both as |
| W1:33.2 | around the world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your | eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness. Try to |
| W1:33.5 | quietly and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your | eyes will probably help in this form of application. |
| W1:34.2 | conducive to readiness. All applications should be done with your | eyes closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of |
| W1:35.2 | What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the | eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot see. |
| W1:35.4 | begin by repeating today's idea to yourself and then close your | eyes and search your mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms |
| W1:35.4 | are equally unreal because you do not look upon yourself through the | eyes of holiness. |
| W1:35.11 | occurs to you, merely repeat the idea to yourself with closed | eyes. |
| W1:36.3 | First, close your | eyes and repeat the idea for today several times slowly. Then open |
| W1:36.3 | and repeat the idea for today several times slowly. Then open your | eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically |
| W1:36.5 | Several times during these practice periods, close your | eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and |
| W1:36.5 | close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your | eyes and continue as before. |
| W1:36.6 | For the shorter exercise periods, close your | eyes and repeat the idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and |
| W1:36.6 | you repeat it again; and conclude with one more repetition with your | eyes closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite |
| W1:37.6 | Then close your | eyes and apply the idea to any person who occurs to you, using his |
| W1:37.8 | You may continue the practice period with your | eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the idea for |
| W1:37.8 | the practice period with your eyes closed; you may open your | eyes again and apply the idea for today to your outer world if you so |
| W1:37.8 | period should conclude with a repetition of the idea with your | eyes closed and another following immediately with your eyes open. |
| W1:37.8 | with your eyes closed and another following immediately with your | eyes open. |
| W1:38.4 | to last a full five minutes, repeat the idea for today, close your | eyes, and then search your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness |
| W1:39.6 | as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then with closed | eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear— |
| W1:40.2 | You need not close your | eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it |
| W1:40.2 | may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your | eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a practice period because |
| W1:41.5 | up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes with your | eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's |
| W1:41.8 | use today's idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with | eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. |
| W1:42.4 | Begin the practice period by repeating the idea for today slowly with | eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the |
| W1:42.4 | for today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close your | eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to |
| W1:42.7 | at all seem to come to mind. If such interferences occur, open your | eyes and repeat the thought once more while looking slowly about; |
| W1:42.7 | repeat the thought once more while looking slowly about; close your | eyes, repeat the idea once more, and then continue to look for |
| W1:42.8 | period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with | eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to strain in |
| W1:43.5 | of these practice periods, repeat the idea to yourself with | eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time, applying the idea |
| W1:43.8 | For the second and longer phase of the exercise period, close your | eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant |
| W1:43.9 | I see through the | eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The world can show |
| W1:43.11 | idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your | eyes, repeat the first phase, and then try the second phase again. Do |
| W1:44.5 | speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived through the ego's | eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into hell. |
| W1:44.7 | Begin the practice period by repeating today's idea with your | eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the idea several times |
| W1:44.9 | in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your | eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will |
| W1:44.9 | In that case, you will probably find it more reassuring to open your | eyes briefly. Try, however, to return to the exercises as soon as |
| W1:44.11 | Throughout the day, repeat the idea often with | eyes open or closed as seems better to you at the time. Do not |
| W1:45.6 | exercises for today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your | eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few |
| W1:46.3 | periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual. Close your | eyes as you do so and spend a minute or two in searching your mind |
| W1:47.4 | today, and longer and more frequent ones are urged. Close your | eyes and begin as usual by repeating today's idea. Then spend a |
| W1:48.2 | repeat the idea as often as possible. You can use it with your | eyes open at any time and in any situation. It is strongly |
| W1:48.2 | that you take a minute or so whenever possible to close your | eyes and repeat the idea slowly to yourself several times. It is |
| W1:49.5 | Do not forget to repeat today's idea very frequently. Do so with your | eyes open when necessary, but closed when possible. And be sure that |
| W1:49.5 | and repeat the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your | eyes on the world and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to |
| W1:R1.4 | and the related comments, the exercises should be done with your | eyes closed and when you are alone in a quiet place if possible. This |
| W1:54.2 | from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my | eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be neither |
| W1:58.2 | the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen through understanding | eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only |
| W1:59.3 | God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own | eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion |
| W1:59.4 | from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the body's | eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It |
| W1:60.6 | As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my | eyes, His love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His |
| W1:61.7 | think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your | eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts come |
| W1:62.5 | As often as you can, closing your | eyes if possible, say to yourself: |
| W1:63.5 | If you can close your | eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related thoughts come |
| W1:64.1 | Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's | eyes look upon. |
| W1:64.2 | Nothing the body's | eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of temptation, since this |
| W1:64.9 | once devote ten or 15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed | eyes. Related thoughts will come to help you if you remember the |
| W1:64.11 | practice periods are required. At times, do the exercises with your | eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the thoughts you are applying. |
| W1:64.11 | on the thoughts you are applying. At other times keep your | eyes open after reviewing the thoughts and look slowly and |
| W1:65.5 | period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then close your | eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind |
| W1:65.14 | Sometimes close your | eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and look about |
| W1:69.4 | Very quietly now, with your | eyes closed, try to let go of all the content which generally |
| W1:70.10 | Then devote a few minutes with your | eyes closed to reviewing some of the external places where you have |
| W1:72.14 | not listened to His Voice. We have used our grievances to close our | eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is |
| W1:72.20 | Then wait a minute or so in silence, preferably with your | eyes closed, and listen for His answer. |
| W1:74.11 | After you have cleared your mind in this way, close your | eyes and try to experience the peace to which your reality entitles |
| W1:74.15 | to find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, with | eyes closed if possible, would be well spent on this today. |
| W1:75.11 | there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the past upon your | eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see will be so |
| W1:77.4 | quite confidently that you are entitled to miracles. Closing your | eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully |
| W1:78.1 | the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your | eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits |
| W1:78.2 | wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our | eyes in silence to behold the Son of God. |
| W1:78.10 | The body's | eyes are closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let your |
| W1:79.12 | all judgment about what the problem is. If possible, close your | eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you will |
| W1:80.5 | let the peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close your | eyes and receive your reward. Recognize that your problems have been |
| W1:R2.2 | them over slowly, several times if you wish, and then close your | eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your mind |
| W1:91.3 | 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 show you are reality. |
| W1:91.7 | Miracles are seen in light. The body's | eyes do not perceive the light. But I am not a body. What am I? |
| W1:91.13 | because Their strength is yours. Their strength becomes your | eyes that you may see. |
| W1:91.15 | Miracles are seen in light. Let me not close my | eyes because of this. |
| W1:92.1 | your idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its | eyes and brain. This is why you believe that you can change what you |
| W1:92.1 | by putting little bits of glass or other clear material before your | eyes held in a frame or placed against the eye. |
| W1:92.2 | beliefs that come from the conviction you are a body and the body's | eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain can think. If you but |
| W1:92.2 | let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the body's | eyes can see, the brain can think. |
| W1:92.3 | your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body's | eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself— |
| W1:92.3 | sad, the poor, the starving, and the joyless. These are seen through | eyes which cannot see and cannot bless. |
| W1:92.8 | and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle before his | eyes and strength and light abiding in his heart. |
| W1:92.9 | your seeing, so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body's | eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and |
| W1:92.10 | today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's | eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of |
| W1:93.14 | Then try to devote at least a minute or so to closing your | eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the truth about you. |
| W1:95.14 | Then close your | eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to |
| W1:105.10 | So tell yourself “God's peace and joy are mine,” and close your | eyes a while, and let His Voice assure you that the words you speak |
| W1:108.2 | light which makes true vision possible is not the light the body's | eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified that |
| W1:108.10 | Then close your | eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to |
| W1:109.3 | it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the | eyes of you who rest in God. |
| W1:109.6 | You rest today. And as you close your | eyes, sink into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite |
| W1:121.4 | no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the world with sightless | eyes and shrieks as it beholds its own projections rising to attack |
| W1:121.11 | Now close your | eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while. Try to |
| W1:122.2 | All this forgiveness offers you, and more. It sparkles in your | eyes as you awake and gives you joy with which to meet the day. It |
| W1:122.3 | which hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving | eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears |
| W1:122.8 | Open your | eyes today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. |
| W1:122.8 | take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open | eyes and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, |
| W1:123.4 | in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise our thankful | eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of |
| W1:124.4 | We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts; our | eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the |
| W1:124.11 | joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's | eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps |
| W1:125.9 | above the thinking of the world and free your vision from the body's | eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the |
| W1:126.10 | In silence close your | eyes upon the world which does not understand forgiveness and seek |
| W1:127.5 | not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to | eyes that see and ears that hear its Voice. |
| W1:127.9 | the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our | eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the past |
| W1:128.7 | Give it ten minutes rest three times today. And when your | eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as |
| W1:129.9 | Then close your | eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the |
| W1:129.10 | eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your | eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly and can |
| W1:130.10 | For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your | eyes alone have ever seen before. And you will know God's strength |
| W1:130.12 | Accept a little part of hell as real, and you have damned your | eyes and cursed your sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed. |
| W1:131.14 | For several minutes watch your mind and see, although your | eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the |
| W1:134.7 | shrieks of sinners mad with guilt. It looks on them with quiet | eyes and merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the |
| W1:137.4 | truth and always will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet | eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that what they look upon |
| W1:138.12 | Before we close our | eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have made each |
| W1:R4.10 | two ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your | eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you |
| W1:151.2 | see. You do not really question what is shown you through the body's | eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even though you learned a |
| W1:151.3 | you judge the world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your | eyes and ears report. You think your fingers touch reality and close |
| W1:151.7 | He will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your | eyes behold in him, nor what his body's mouth says to your ears, nor |
| W1:155.1 | though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is serene; your | eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize |
| W1:155.6 | that they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their | eyes to look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the truth, which |
| W1:157.6 | give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our | eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the |
| W1:158.11 | likeness shines with its immortal love. We practice seeing with the | eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision |
| W1:161.7 | there is no death. Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its | eyes behold, seeing itself in everything, compelled to turn upon |
| W1:161.9 | This do the body's | eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God |
| W1:161.11 | you will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's | eyes call forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient |
| W1:161.14 | Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. I would behold you with the | eyes of Christ, and see my perfect sinlessness in you. |
| W1:163.2 | in its blighting grasp. All goals perceived but in its sightless | eyes. The frail, the helpless, and the sick bow down before its |
| W1:163.9 | Our Father, bless our | eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the |
| W1:164.1 | to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in the | eyes of Christ. He looks past time and sees eternity as represented |
| W1:164.5 | in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your | eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its |
| W1:164.5 | in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will you see it with the | eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation clear to you. |
| W1:165.5 | sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing | eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the |
| W1:166.7 | is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed way, with | eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth and be |
| W1:167.10 | life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his | eyes or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps and sees in |
| W1:170.12 | to a new world unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless | eyes but in the vision that your choice restored to you. |
| W1:170.13 | Now do your | eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice |
| W1:R5.11 | the words I speak and give them to the world. You are my voice, my | eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I save the world. The Self |
| W1:181.5 | occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our | eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our “sins.” |
| W1:181.9 | when this is all we seek for in the name of true perception, are the | eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes |
| W1:187.2 | For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's | eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but |
| W1:188.1 | wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their | eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, |
| W1:188.6 | Sit quietly and close your | eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give |
| W1:189.1 | There is a light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its | eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. |
| W1:189.1 | not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you have | eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon. It was not placed |
| W1:189.3 | reveals. It is so different from the world you see through darkened | eyes of malice and of fear that one belies the other. Only one can be |
| W1:191.12 | Then let the Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy | eyes return again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But |
| W1:192.3 | so close to waking that the light of day already shines in them. And | eyes already opening behold the joyful sights their offerings contain. |
| W1:192.7 | We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful thoughts, our | eyes shut tight against the light, our minds engaged in worshipping |
| W1:193.11 | an unforgiveness hiding in the mind which sees the pain through | eyes the mind directs. |
| W1:200.3 | seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open | eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens |
| W1:200.10 | underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, with the body's | eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is already |
| W1:R6.6 | a shorter path to the serenity and peace of God. We merely close our | eyes and then forget all that we thought we knew and understood. For |
| W1:218.1 | me. My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and through my sightless | eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet today I can behold this |
| W2:I.6 | given us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead and fix our | eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from |
| W2:237.2 | Christ is my | eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today. |
| W2:WIW.2 | born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. But | eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite |
| W2:WIW.5 | must save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the | eyes of Christ, that what was made to die be restored to Everlasting |
| W2:WIS.1 | where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave the body | eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What need have they |
| W2:263.2 | of Heaven, let us look on all we see through holy vision and the | eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us that we may pass |
| W2:270.1 | Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body's | eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and |
| W2:270.2 | hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our | eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world |
| W2:WIC.2 | and dreams are over. He remains untouched by anything the body's | eyes perceive. For though in Him His Father placed the means for your |
| W2:290.1 | I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. | Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ's vision |
| W2:WIRW.1 | for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen through | eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The |
| W2:WIRW.1 | to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through | eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is |
| W2:WIRW.2 | The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet | eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are |
| W2:WIRW.4 | of sin and guilt is over and God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking | eyes perceive the sure reflection of his Father's Love, the certain |
| W2:293.2 | from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my | eyes today. |
| W2:295.1 | Christ asks that He may use my | eyes today and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may |
| W2:295.2 | a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the | eyes of Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless |
| W2:WISC.5 | Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your | eyes and ears and hands and feet. It needs your voice. And most of |
| W2:301.1 | only what You will. Let me today behold it uncondemned through happy | eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your |
| W2:302.1 | Father, our | eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is |
| W2:304.1 | outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the | eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my |
| W2:313.1 | love will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The | eyes of Christ look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its |
| W2:WIM.3 | Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The | eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in |
| W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the | eyes through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every |
| W2:352.1 | and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my | eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, |
| W2:E.6 | we would love him, and He teaches us how to behold him through His | eyes and love him as He does. You do not walk alone. God's angels |
| M:4.1 | teachers are not at all alike. They do not look alike to the body's | eyes, they come from vastly different backgrounds, their experiences |
| M:8.1 | standards completely upsets the mental balance. What the body's | eyes behold is only conflict. Look not to them for peace and |
| M:8.3 | in the world outside. Yet it is surely the mind that judges what the | eyes behold. It is the mind that interprets the eyes' messages and |
| M:8.3 | that judges what the eyes behold. It is the mind that interprets the | eyes' messages and gives them “meaning.” And this meaning does not |
| M:8.3 | hierarchy of values is projected outward, and it sends the body's | eyes to find it. The body's eyes will never see except through |
| M:8.3 | outward, and it sends the body's eyes to find it. The body's | eyes will never see except through differences. Yet it is not the |
| M:8.4 | is here correction must be made. The mind classifies what the body's | eyes bring to it according to its preconceived values, judging where |
| M:8.6 | The body's | eyes will continue to see differences, but the mind which has let |
| M:8.6 | will be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body's | eyes will report their changed appearances as before. But the mind |
| M:16.4 | not the major concern. One can easily sit still an hour with closed | eyes and accomplish nothing. One can as easily give God only an |
| M:16.5 | period—not more than a moment will do—in which you close your | eyes and think of God. |
| M:18.2 | the Word of God to listening ears and bring Christ's vision to the | eyes that see. Now is He free to teach all minds the truth of what |
| M:18.3 | insane belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The body's | eyes now “see”; its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space |
| M:19.3 | stem from injustice. Here is the lens which, held before the body's | eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted world |
| M:23.5 | that he might give it to you. You do not love yourself. But in his | eyes your loveliness is so complete and flawless that he sees in it |
| M:23.5 | sees no limit and no stain to mar your beautiful perfection. In his | eyes Christ's vision shines in perfect constancy. He has remained |
