Tx:22.46 | for—always to justify what goes against the truth, flies in the | face of reason, and makes no sense. Can this be justified? What can |
Tx:24.54 | not your eyes be blinded by the veil of specialness that hides the | face of Christ from him, and you as well. And let the fear of God no |
Tx:25.7 | The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and nothing hides the | face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, |
Tx:25.18 | of darkness hides and casts a veil of light across the picture's | face, which but reflects the light that shines from it to its |
Tx:25.18 | the 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 |
Tx:26.27 | you stand is but the space that sin has left. And here you see the | face of Christ arising in its place. Who could behold the face of |
Tx:26.27 | see the face of Christ arising in its place. Who could behold the | face of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could |
Tx:26.78 | that a shadow held between your brother and yourself obscures the | face of Christ and memory of God. And would you trade Them for an |
Tx:27.48 | and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's | face instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot |

Tx:31.44 | presents the face of innocence, the aspect acted on. It is this | face that smiles and charms and even seems to love. It searches for |
Tx:31.45 | to provide the love and shelter innocence deserves. And so this | face is often wet with tears at the injustices the world accords to |
Tx:31.46 | The | face of innocence the concept of the self so proudly wears can |
Tx:31.46 | innocence? No one who makes a picture of himself omits this | face, for he has need of it. The other side he does not want to see. |
Tx:31.47 | Beneath the | face of innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self was |
Tx:31.47 | lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear so devastating that the | face which smiles above it must forever look away, lest it perceive |
Tx:31.48 | to you as well, but this is kept still deeper in the mists below the | face of innocence. And in these shrouded vaults are all his sins and |
Tx:31.52 | made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who gave the | face of innocence to you? Is this your contribution? Who is, then, |
Tx:31.75 | to judge what he beholds. And in this single vision does he see the | face of Christ and understands he looks on everyone as he beholds |
Tx:31.76 | The veil across the | face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of |
Tx:31.80 | I behold?” Then is the answer given. And the door held open for the | face of Christ to shine upon the one who asks in innocence to see |
Tx:31.87 | of hell, but would release your minds from everything that hides His | face from you. His holiness is yours because He is the only power |
Tx:31.88 | you raised an image of yourself before. For what appears to hide the | face of Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears before |
Tx:31.97 | faith, and not one spot of darkness still remains to hide the | face of Christ from anyone. Thy Will is done, complete and perfectly, |
W1:7.11 | hand. I see only the past in that body. I see only the past in that | face. |
W1:9.6 | I do not see that coat rack as it is now. I do not see that | face as it is now. I do not see that door as it is now. |
W1:56.5 | truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the | face of love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes |
W1:R2.3 | you and that you want it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the | face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such |
W1:100.2 | to whom He sends you. They will see their function in your shining | face and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh. |
W1:100.7 | to everyone who looks on you and sees His message in your happy | face. We will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute |
W1:107.6 | the gift of perfect constancy and love which does not falter in the | face of pain but looks beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift |
W1:122.3 | Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up which hides the | face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the |
W1:124.9 | mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you will see Christ's | face upon it, in reflection of your own. |
W1:134.8 | truth. It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in the | face of lies, the great restorer of the simple truth. By its ability |
W1:151.8 | it rests on certainty so great that doubt is meaningless before Its | face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can only honor |
W1:151.8 | unheeding of the body's witnesses before the rapture of His holy | face. |
W1:151.10 | can look beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle | face of Christ in all of them. You will no longer doubt that only |
W1:151.12 | Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy | face of Christ in everything and hear in everything no sound except |
W1:157.9 | will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining | face and perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but |
W1:157.9 | except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His | face will stay with you, but there will be an instant which |
W1:161.12 | as you can in that same form to which you are accustomed. See his | face, his hands and feet, his clothing. Watch him smile, and see |
W1:168.4 | covers all the world in love and watch fear disappear from every | face as hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs. What now |
W1:169.6 | salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy | face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into His |
W1:169.11 | in your experience to all who see the light that lingers on your | face. |
W1:169.12 | What is the | face of Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness and |
W1:187.8 | well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the | face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself. |
W1:198.12 | the world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the | face of Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. This is |
W1:198.12 | them guilty of, and see your innocence shining upon you from the | face of Christ. |
W1:198.13 | thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the | face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the Word of |
W2:223.2 | Our Father, let us see the | face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son |
W2:229.1 | for my coming home that I will turn away no longer from the holy | face of Christ. And what I look upon attests the truth of the |
W2:269.1 | I choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the | face of Christ and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me, |
W2:269.2 | our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look upon the | face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of Him Who is the |
W2:WIC.4 | to keep things separate, for what remains to see except Christ's | face? |
W2:WIC.5 | And how long will this holy | face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning |
W2:WIC.5 | has been reached at last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ's | face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we |
M:4.24 | things welcoming, for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the | face of Christ. Now is the goal achieved. Forgiveness is the final |
M:13.4 | of children's toys? Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the | face of Christ look back with longing on a slaughter house? No one |
M:22.4 | miracle of healing. He overlooks the mind and body, seeing only the | face of Christ shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and |
M:28.2 | the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the world. Christ's | face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in darkness |
M:28.5 | needed? What remains that vision could accomplish? We have seen the | face of Christ, His sinlessness, His love behind all forms, beyond |
M:28.6 | the minds of those asleep and seeing there the vision of Christ's | face to take the place of what they dreamed. The thought of murder is |

Tx:2.55 | devices are not lessons in themselves. Their purpose is merely to | facilitate the thinking of the learner. The most that a faulty use of |
Tx:2.55 | The most that a faulty use of a learning device can do is to fail to | facilitate learning. It has no power in itself to introduce actual |
Tx:2.66 | it becomes a serious obstruction to the very learning it should | facilitate. Only the mind is capable of illumination. The Soul is |
Tx:3.51 | with the Father's. We can now make a distinction which will greatly | facilitate clarity in our subsequent statements. |

Tx:6.4 | value of any teaching device, lies solely in the kind of learning it | facilitates. It can be and has been misunderstood. This is only |

Tx:1.86 | is much like the body in that both are learning aids which aim at | facilitating a state in which they are unnecessary. When the Soul's |

W1:133.17 | some needless burdens or believe you see some difficult decisions | facing you, be quick to answer with this simple thought: |
fact (187) | ||
Tx:1.70 | the equilibrium is temporarily experienced as unstable. However, the | fact is that nothing is less stable than an orientation that is |
Tx:1.89 | of God, it is very apparent in the creations of man. It is, in | fact, the essential difference. A need implies lack by definition. It |
Tx:1.102 | orientation can be extremely reliable, even if it is upside-down. In | fact, the more consistently upside-down it is, the more reliable it |
Tx:2.1 | are not the first definitions which are given. Nevertheless, the | fact that each of them does appear in the dictionary should be |
Tx:2.12 | in these statements implies any sort of level involvement or in | fact anything except one continuous line of creation in which all |
Tx:2.15 | emphasized that he neither can nor has been able to do this. In this | fact lies the real justification for his escape from fear. The escape |
Tx:2.34 | this section is that you can defend truth as well as error and, in | fact, much better. |
Tx:2.47 | acceptance of the Atonement by everyone is only a matter of time. In | fact, both time and matter were created for this purpose. This |
Tx:2.56 | it is not inherently open to misinterpretation. The body is merely a | fact in human experience. Its abilities can be and frequently are |
Tx:2.59 | Atonement does not lie in the manner in which it is expressed. In | fact, if it is truly used, it will inevitably be expressed in |
Tx:2.62 | afraid to use the mind to heal should not attempt to do so. The very | fact that they are afraid has made them vulnerable to miscreation. |
Tx:2.63 | the miracle need not await the right-mindedness of the receiver. In | fact, its purpose is to restore him to his right mind. It is |
Tx:2.69 | arises, in the end, from an unwillingness to accept the unequivocal | fact that healing is necessary. Man is not willing to look on what he |
Tx:2.98 | conflict through the concept of mastery of fear is meaningless. In | fact it asserts the power of fear by the simple assumption that it |
Tx:3.16 | forced him out of the Garden of Eden. It is also responsible for the | fact that you may believe from time to time that I am misdirecting |
Tx:3.17 | God Himself is not symbolic; He is | fact. The Atonement too is totally without symbolism. It is perfectly |
Tx:3.22 | innocence. The lion and the lamb lying down together refers to the | fact that strength and innocence are not in conflict but naturally |
Tx:3.31 | affirmation of truth. All your difficulties ultimately stem from the | fact that you do not recognize or know yourselves, each other, or |
Tx:3.34 | “a vision of God” is a miracle rather than a revelation. The | fact that perception is involved at all removes the experience from |
Tx:3.43 | right-minded or wrong-minded, and even this is subject to degrees, a | fact which clearly demonstrates a lack of association with knowledge. |
Tx:3.47 | because light does abolish darkness merely by establishing the | fact that it is not there. The truth will always overcome error in |

Tx:3.59 | knows God completely. That is the miraculous power of the Soul. The | fact that each one has this power completely is a fact that is |
Tx:3.59 | of the Soul. The fact that each one has this power completely is a | fact that is entirely alien to human thinking, in which if anyone has |
Tx:3.63 | you will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning. In | fact, their meaning is lost to you precisely because you are judging |
Tx:3.68 | the view that they created themselves. At least it acknowledges the | fact that some true authorship is necessary for existence. |
Tx:3.76 | by a “father figure,” a particularly curious idea in view of the | fact that no one uses the term to refer to the physical father. It |
Tx:4.16 | which you are not meeting. You know this, and you are afraid. In | fact, your egos have chosen to be afraid instead of meeting it. When |
Tx:4.25 | as is physical interaction. There could be no better example of the | fact that the ego is an idea, though not a reality-based thought. |
Tx:4.27 | The reaction of man to the self he made is not at all surprising. In | fact it duplicates in many ways how he will one day react to his real |
Tx:4.31 | of other egos because it cannot establish the reality of itself. In | fact, its whole perception of other egos as real is only an attempt |
Tx:4.38 | or rejected accordingly. If it is shown to be true, it becomes a | fact, after which no one attempts to evaluate it unless its status as |
Tx:4.38 | after which no one attempts to evaluate it unless its status as | fact is questioned. Every idea to which the ego has accorded the |
Tx:4.38 | questioned. Every idea to which the ego has accorded the status of | fact is questionable, because facts are in the realm of knowledge. |
Tx:4.54 | of your release. God has given you everything. This is the one | fact that means the ego does not exist and which therefore makes it |
Tx:4.56 | the Voice of God, it is because you do not choose to listen. The | fact that you do listen to the voice of your ego is demonstrated by |
Tx:4.87 | the difference, but you are by no means convinced as yet. The very | fact that you are preoccupied with the idea of escaping from the ego |
Tx:5.30 | I came into your minds because you had grown vaguely aware of the | fact that there is another way or another Voice. Having given this |
Tx:5.55 | any of your brothers. You are more than your brother's keeper. In | fact, you do not want to keep him. You must learn to see him as he is |
Tx:5.63 | 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 makes it your |
Tx:5.76 | only by being shared. This quotation therefore emphasizes the | fact that vengeance cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the Holy |
Tx:5.77 | as interpreted by the ego, is particularly vicious. It is used, in | fact, as an attempt to guarantee its survival beyond itself. |
Tx:5.77 | in the Sonship. “The wicked shall perish” is merely a statement of | fact if the word “perish” is properly understood. Every loveless |
Tx:5.95 | firm with yourselves in this, and keep yourselves fully aware of the | fact that the undoing process, which does not come from you, is |
Tx:6.6 | is impossible and must be fully understood as an impossibility. In | fact unless it is fully understood as only that, I cannot serve as a |
Tx:6.26 | by projecting it. By doing this unconsciously, you try to keep the | fact that you must have attacked yourself first out of awareness and |
Tx:6.30 | change it now or ever. It is forever true. It is not a belief but a | fact. Anything that God create[s] is as true as He is. Its truth lies |
Tx:6.47 | cannot understand the conflict until you fully understand one basic | fact that the ego does not know. The Holy Spirit does not speak |
Tx:6.52 | It is curious that the perfect must now be perfected. In | fact, it is impossible. You must remember, however, that when you put |
Tx:6.53 | therefore retain the central place in your perceived enslavement, a | fact which itself demonstrates that you are not enslaved. |
Tx:6.74 | as always, the ego perceives the first lesson as insane. In | fact this is its only alternative here since the other one, which |
Tx:6.81 | second step is easier than the first because it follows. The very | fact that you have accepted that is a demonstration of your growing |
Tx:7.15 | alter the form of what he translates, never changes the meaning. In | fact, his whole purpose is to change the form so that the original |
Tx:7.22 | of your learning and has applied them to a unified curriculum. The | fact that this was not the ego's reason for learning is totally |
Tx:7.30 | answered. The answer merely undoes the question by establishing the | fact that to question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is |
Tx:7.41 | occur unless the body has already been confused with the mind. This | fact, too, can be used either for healing or for magic, but you must |
Tx:7.59 | knowledge. It perceives their threat as total, because it senses the | fact that all commitments the mind makes are total. Forced, |
Tx:7.64 | problems in identification at any level are not problems of | fact. They are problems of understanding, since they mean that you |
Tx:7.101 | recognize what is painful than you know what is joyful and are in | fact very apt to confuse the two. The Holy Spirit's main function is |
Tx:8.7 | different ways, which might be possible except for the crucial | fact that both are teaching you about yourself. Your reality is |
Tx:8.28 | to me are the reactions of the world to God. If you will accept the | fact that I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting God. |
Tx:8.60 | why it is impossible, is the most depressing thing in the world. In | fact, it is ultimately why the world is depressing. The Holy Spirit's |
Tx:8.90 | except illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. The very | fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as |
Tx:8.102 | The | fact that God is love does not require belief, but it does require |
Tx:8.109 | are answered, and this must be true if no effort is wasted. The very | fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for anything will ensure a |
Tx:9.15 | to follow the Holy Spirit's plan of salvation in recognition of the | fact that you do not know what it is. His work is not your function, |
Tx:9.81 | are your father because you are projecting onto them the fearful | fact that you made them to replace God. Yet when they seem to speak |
Tx:9.84 | Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your brothers; in | fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for yourself. For if |
Tx:9.96 | This was his alternative to joy, because he would not accept the | fact that, although he was a creator, he had been created. Yet the |
Tx:10.34 | of the dawn of light. Remember also that the denial of this simple | fact takes many forms, and these you must learn to recognize and to |
Tx:10.40 | surely learned by now that fear is not real. We have accepted the | fact already that its effects can be dispelled merely by denying |
Tx:10.41 | by understanding that the term itself does not mean anything. In | fact, it contains exactly the contradiction in terms which makes it |
Tx:10.64 | it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power lies in the | fact that it represents what you want to be. The freedom to leave |
Tx:11.2 | own ability to understand what you perceive. This is shown by the | fact that you react to your interpretations as if they were correct |
Tx:11.13 | you learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with the | fact of unity. For the separation is only the denial of union and, |
Tx:11.25 | on having you do something you think you do not want to do. The very | fact of his insistence should tell you that he believes salvation |
Tx:11.88 | 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 because he |
Tx:12.25 | it not be more desirable to have been wrong, even apart from the | fact that you were wrong? While it could perhaps be argued that death |
Tx:13.1 | is the only therapist. He teaches that the past does not exist, a | fact which belongs to the sphere of knowledge and which therefore no |
Tx:13.73 | is self-protection.] And they will fail to understand the simple | fact that what they do not want must hurt them. |
Tx:14.28 | You cannot have them both, for each denies the other. Apart, this | fact is lost from sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed |
Tx:14.28 | place can be endowed with firm belief. Bring them together, and the | fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One |
Tx:14.50 | held together by a sense of order which you establish. Yet the very | fact that you can do this and bring any order into chaos shows you |
Tx:14.53 | know of 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:14.53 | For their teacher is senseless, though careful to conceal this | fact behind a lot of words which sound impressive but which lack any |
Tx:14.54 | for truth, the ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The | fact of union tells them it is not true. |
Tx:14.67 | effects which only guiltlessness can bring and thus establishes the | fact that guiltlessness must be. |
Tx:15.23 | too poor a gift to satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the | fact, and accept it gladly, that there is no form of littleness that |
Tx:15.57 | so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the | fact that perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what |
Tx:15.59 | is strengthened by sharing. What you find difficult to accept is the | fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can |
Tx:15.87 | to give up 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 |
Tx:15.96 | You see no other alternatives, for you cannot accept the | fact that sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your |
Tx:16.2 | proof that empathy as the ego uses it is destructive lies in the | fact that it is applied only to certain types of problems and in |
Tx:16.5 | is strength in this sense only—to recognize and accept the | fact that you do not know is to recognize and accept the fact that He |

Tx:17.57 | Holy Spirit's purpose is extremely simple, but it is unequivocal. In | fact in order to be simple, it must be unequivocal. The simple is |

Tx:20.16 | uphold it against reality. Knowledge requires no adjustment and in | fact is lost if any shift or change is undertaken. For this reduces |
Tx:20.74 | need to do is recognize you did this. Once you accept this simple | fact and take unto yourself the power you gave them, you are released |

Tx:26.36 | a hindrance can this dream be to where he really is? For this is | fact and does not change whatever dreams he has. Yet can he still |

Tx:30.31 | The second rule as well is but a | fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you want before it |
Tx:30.83 | all are made according to the roles the script assigns. The | fact they have no meaning in themselves is demonstrated by the ease |
Tx:31.26 | your own. Whatever form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the | fact that you believe them to be yours and therefore meriting a |
Tx:31.46 | can tolerate attack in self-defense, for is it not a well-known | fact the world deals harshly with defenseless innocence? No one who |
W1:8.1 | time there is. It therefore cannot understand time and cannot, in | fact, understand anything. |
W1:9.1 | as yet. However, understanding is not necessary at this point. In | fact, the recognition that you do not understand is a prerequisite |
W1:10.6 | selection or judgment. Try to avoid classification of any kind. In | fact, if you find it helpful to do so, you might imagine that you are |
W1:12.1 | The importance of this idea lies in the | fact that it contains a correction for a major perceptual distortion. |
W1:14.7 | apart from His. Therefore, it has no meaning. In recognition of this | fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating today's idea: |

W1:19.2 | Today we are again emphasizing the | fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at |
W1:19.2 | and may even be regarded as an “invasion of privacy.” Yet it is a | fact that there are no private thoughts. Despite your initial |
W1:28.5 | You could, in | fact, gain vision from just that table if you could withdraw all your |
W1:29.1 | or in itself. And it explains why nothing you see means anything. In | fact, it explains every idea we have used thus far and all subsequent |
W1:41.7 | It is quite possible to reach God. In | fact it is very easy because it is the most natural thing in the |
W1:42.7 | thought that is clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in | fact, be astonished at the amount of course-related understanding |
W1:43.14 | equally applicable to strangers and to those you know well. Try, in | fact, not to make distinctions of this kind at all. |
W1:48.1 | The idea for today simply states a | fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but |

W1:53.6 | It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. The | fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and |
W1:55.2 | death. This cannot be what God created for His beloved Son. The very | fact that I see such things is proof that I do not understand God. |
W1:66.4 | practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance of the | fact that not only is there a very real connection between the |
W1:71.12 | to your willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very | fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some |
W1:72.2 | The ego's fundamental wish is to replace God. In | fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it is this |
W1:72.6 | body's apparent reality makes this view of God quite convincing. In | fact, if the body were real, it would be difficult indeed to escape |
W1:77.5 | done. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything. You state a | fact that cannot be denied. |
W1:77.6 | Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The | fact that you accepted must be so. There is no room for doubt and |
W1:77.6 | real question at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple | fact. You will receive the assurance that you seek. |
W1:77.7 | will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple | fact. Tell yourself often today: |
W1:80.1 | accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you. Accept that | fact, and you are ready to take your rightful place in God's plan for |
W1:96.2 | The | fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you |

W1:133.13 | is nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very simple | fact that no decision can be difficult. |
W1:134.2 | what forgiveness means is easily corrected when you can accept the | fact that pardon is not asked for what is true. It must be limited to |

W1:R4.4 | This is a | fact and represents the truth of what you are and what your Father |
W1:187.1 | No one can give unless he has. In | fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What |
W1:190.1 | in any form, it is a proof of self-deception. It is not a | fact at all. There is no form it takes which will not disappear if |
W1:191.4 | set free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one | fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the |
W1:196.2 | can be found in the idea we practice for today. It may in | fact appear to be a sign that punishment can never be escaped because |
W1:200.1 | You will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this | fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, |
W2:304.1 | unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a | fact. And what I look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I |

M:3.5 | perfect. This does not mean that they necessarily recognize this; in | fact, they generally do not. They may even be quite hostile to each |
M:4.3 | their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In | fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never |
M:4.10 | 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 is already |
M:4.18 | to the teacher of God. It is not the usual meaning of the word; in | fact, it is a meaning that must be learned and learned very |
M:6.3 | would have the gift. Trust is an essential part of giving; in | fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the part that |
M:10.3 | in the usual sense is impossible. This is not an opinion, but a | fact. In order to judge anything rightly, one would have to be fully |
M:11.1 | if His promises are to be accepted. What the world is, is but a | fact. You cannot choose what this should be. But you can choose how |
M:13.2 | It takes great learning both to realize and to accept the | fact that the world has nothing to give. What can the sacrifice of |
M:16.10 | substitute for the Will of God. In simple statement, it is to this | fact that the teacher of God devotes his day. Each substitute he may |

M:17.4 | Perhaps it will be helpful to remember that no one can be angry at a | fact. It is always an interpretation that gives rise to negative |
M:17.5 | can oppose the Will of God and succeed. That this can hardly be a | fact is obvious. Yet that it can be believed as fact is surely so. |
M:17.5 | this can hardly be a fact is obvious. Yet that it can be believed as | fact is surely so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who |
M:17.6 | defenses? Magic again must help. Forget the battle. Accept it as a | fact, and then forget it. Do not remember the impossible odds against |
M:17.8 | for such it is. If anger comes from an interpretation and not a | fact, it is never justified. Once this is even dimly grasped, the way |
M:17.9 | there, yet is the anger certain witness that you do believe in it as | fact. Now is escape impossible until you see you have responded to |
M:18.1 | until the teacher of God has ceased to confuse interpretation with | fact or illusion with truth. If he argues with his pupil about a |
M:21.5 | irrelevant to the presented problem as he perceives it, and may, in | fact, confront him with a situation that appears to be very |
M:22.5 | and can hardly offer it to his brother in Christ's Name. He will, in | fact, be unable to recognize his brother at all, for his Father did |
M:29.1 | to answer all questions that both teacher and pupil may raise. In | fact, it covers only a few of the more obvious ones, in terms of a |

Tx:17.62 | this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of truth is set, there | faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The |

Tx:17.63 | not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not come because | faith has been denied, being withheld from where it rightfully |
Tx:17.64 | for aspects of the situation are the witnesses to your lack of | faith. They demonstrate that you did not believe that the situation |
Tx:17.64 | and the problem were in the same place. The problem was the lack of | faith, and it is this you demonstrate when you remove it from its |
Tx:17.64 | As a result, you do not see the problem. Had you not lacked the | faith it could be solved, the problem would be gone. And the |
Tx:17.65 | There is no problem in any situation that | faith will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem |
Tx:17.65 | been solved, but you have removed yourself from the solution? Yet | faith must be where something has been done and where you see it |
Tx:17.66 | the situation, which then becomes the justification for your lack of | faith. You will make this error, but be not at all concerned with |
Tx:17.66 | with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness brought to | faith will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against |
Tx:17.66 | with truth. But faithlessness used against truth will always destroy | faith. If you lack faith, ask that it be restored where it was lost |
Tx:17.66 | used against truth will always destroy faith. If you lack | faith, ask that it be restored where it was lost and seek not to have |
Tx:17.67 | You did not set it because holiness cannot be seen except through | faith, and your relationship was not holy because your faith in one |
Tx:17.67 | through faith, and your relationship was not holy because your | faith in one another was so limited and little. Your faith must grow |
Tx:17.67 | because your faith in one another was so limited and little. Your | faith must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's |
Tx:17.67 | goal's reality will call this forth, for you will see that peace and | faith will not come separately. What situation can you be in without |
Tx:17.67 | faith will not come separately. What situation can you be in without | faith and remain faithful to each other? |
Tx:17.69 | The goal of illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as | faith to truth. If you lack faith in anyone to fulfill, and |
Tx:17.69 | is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to truth. If you lack | faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his part in any situation |
Tx:17.69 | is holy unless its holiness goes with it everywhere. As holiness and | faith go hand in hand, so must its faith go everywhere with it. The |
Tx:17.69 | it everywhere. As holiness and faith go hand in hand, so must its | faith go everywhere with it. The goal's reality will call forth and |
Tx:17.71 | him. It is not his past but yours you hold against him. And you lack | faith in him because of what you were. Yet you are as innocent of |
Tx:17.71 | truth. There is no cause for faithlessness, but there is a Cause for | faith. That Cause has entered any situation which shares Its purpose. |
Tx:17.72 | Enter each situation with the | faith that you give to each other, or you are faithless to your own |
Tx:17.72 | to each other, or you are faithless to your own relationship. Your | faith will call the others to share your purpose, as this same |
Tx:17.72 | others to share your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the | faith in you. And you will see the means you once employed to lead |
Tx:17.72 | you to illusions transformed to means for truth. [Truth calls for | faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed |
Tx:17.72 | transformed to means for truth. [Truth calls for faith, and | faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the purpose |
Tx:17.73 | You call for | faith because of Him Who walks with you in every situation. You are |
Tx:17.73 | set apart from loneliness because the truth has come. Its call for | faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for it calls |
Tx:17.74 | the same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and left unused, that | faith might answer to the call of truth. The holy instant is the |
Tx:17.74 | meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a whole. | Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness |
Tx:17.75 | Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even | faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it |
Tx:17.75 | nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the | faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against |
Tx:17.76 | to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift of | faith, freely given wherever faithlessness is laid aside unused. And |
Tx:17.76 | demonstrating its reality. What has been demonstrated has called for | faith and has been given it. Now it becomes a fact from which faith |
Tx:17.76 | for faith and has been given it. Now it becomes a fact from which | faith can no longer be withheld. The strain of refusing faith to |
Tx:17.76 | from which faith can no longer be withheld. The strain of refusing | faith to truth is enormous and far greater than you realize. But to |
Tx:17.76 | enormous and far greater than you realize. But to answer truth with | faith entails no strain at all. |
Tx:17.77 | And it was nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give | faith to truth and see its evident reality. |
Tx:17.78 | him not now, for it has been given you to realize what your lack of | faith in him must mean to you. His salvation is your only purpose. |
Tx:17.79 | of peace cannot be accepted apart from its conditions, and you had | faith in it, for no one accepts what he does not believe is real. |
Tx:18.9 | Him bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a little | faith in each other, to help Him show you that no substitute you made |
Tx:18.27 | disappear before you now. Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of | faith you offered to each other. You will succeed only in frightening |
Tx:18.42 | Him remove all fear and hatred and to be forgiven. On your little | faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your part in the |
Tx:18.42 | And with Him you will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of | faith and rising even to Heaven. Nor will you use it to ascend to |
Tx:18.44 | would merely bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The little | faith it needed to change the purpose is all that is required to |
Tx:18.63 | You still have too much | faith in the body as a source of strength. What plans do you make |
Tx:19.1 | can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without | faith will never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth |
Tx:19.1 | is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by | faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved, for only thus the |
Tx:19.1 | to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This | faith encompasses everyone involved, for only thus the situation is |
Tx:19.1 | and as a whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your | faith is limited and your dedication incomplete. |
Tx:19.2 | to heal the Son of God. And he is healed because you offered | faith to him, giving him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from |
Tx:19.5 | It cannot be difficult to realize that | faith must be the opposite of faithlessness. Yet the difference in |
Tx:19.5 | in what they are. Faithlessness would always limit and attack; | faith would remove all limitations and make whole. [Faithlessness |
Tx:19.5 | and make whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and separate; | faith would unite and heal.] Faithlessness would interpose illusions |
Tx:19.5 | would interpose illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; | faith would remove all obstacles that seem to rise between them. |
Tx:19.5 | rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; | faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the |
Tx:19.9 | which seems to be justified by its results. For by withholding | faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot look beyond the |
Tx:19.10 | To have | faith is to heal. It is the sign that you have accepted the Atonement |
Tx:19.10 | accepted the Atonement for yourself and would therefore share it. By | faith you offer the gift of freedom from the past, which you |
Tx:19.10 | self and his and seeing them as one. And in that one you see your | faith is fully justified. There is no justification for |
Tx:19.10 | is fully justified. There is no justification for faithlessness, but | faith is always justified. |
Tx:19.11 | Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of | |
Tx:19.11 | the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. | Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious |
Tx:19.11 | Christ in him, and he was healed because you looked on what makes | faith forever justified in everyone. |
Tx:19.12 | Faith is the gift of God, through Him Whom God has given you. | |
Tx:19.12 | God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes of | faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt |
Tx:19.12 | seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. | Faith sees him only now because it looks not to the past to judge |
Tx:19.12 | witnesses unto its coming and to return their messages to you. | Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world. For |
Tx:19.12 | Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world. For | faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you |
Tx:19.12 | the Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you share it with Him. | Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly |
Tx:19.13 | Your holy relationship, with its new purpose, offers you | faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness had driven you |
Tx:19.13 | you apart, and so you did not recognize salvation in each other. Yet | faith unites you in the holiness you see, not through the body's eyes |
Tx:19.13 | you. And be you healed by grace together, that you may heal through | faith. |
Tx:19.14 | see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again through | faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is nothing |
Tx:19.14 | faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is nothing | faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which |
Tx:19.15 | will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will | faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy |
Tx:19.15 | the ground for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For | faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely |
Tx:19.15 | lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows | faith and peace, completing the process of making lovely which they |
Tx:19.15 | peace, completing the process of making lovely which they begin. For | faith is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has |
Tx:19.22 | As a mistake, it must be brought to truth. It is impossible to have | faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is possible to have |
Tx:19.22 | faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is possible to have | faith that a mistake can be corrected. |
Tx:19.35 | 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 disappear |
Tx:19.48 | it is nothing in itself and stood for nothing when you had greater | faith in its protection. Would you not rather greet the summer sun |
Tx:19.69 | Faith in the eternal is always justified, for the eternal is forever | |

Tx:21.22 | The Holy Spirit can give you | faith in holiness and vision to see it easily enough. But you have |
Tx:21.23 | Undoing is not your task, but it is up to you to welcome it or not. | Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone believes in what he |

Tx:21.31 | It is impossible to place equal faith in opposite directions. What | faith you give to sin you take away from holiness. And what you offer |

Tx:21.33 | and finding sin. This mad direction was your choice, and by your | faith in what you chose, you made what you desired. |
Tx:21.34 | a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then will you give your | faith to holiness, desiring and believing in it because of your |
Tx:21.35 | Faith and belief become attached to vision, as all the means that | |
Tx:21.35 | because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the body has your | faith and your belief. But holiness would set your brother free, |
Tx:21.36 | to look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and | faith goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing |
Tx:21.36 | not obstructing it. But first they chose to recognize how much their | faith had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place |
Tx:21.36 | given them. The miracles which follow this decision are also born of | faith. For all who choose to look away from sin are given vision and |
Tx:21.37 | is at hand. Join your awareness to what has been already joined. The | faith you give each other can accomplish this. For He Who loves the |
Tx:21.38 | Your | faith in sacrifice has given it great power in your sight, except you |

Tx:24.34 | Specialness is a lack of trust in anyone except yourself. | Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else becomes your |
Tx:24.40 | for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for something and lack | faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does will |

Tx:18.51 | Unless the mind believes the body is actually acting out its | fantasies, it will attack the body by increasing the projection of |

Tx:17.3 | all pain arises from your wish to retain some aspects of reality for | fantasy. If you but realized what this must do to your appreciation |

Tx:17.6 | of mind because another is attempting to solve his problems through | fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this same |
Tx:17.7 | you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no | fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, |
Tx:17.8 | This loveliness is not a | fantasy. It is the real world, bright and clean and new with |
Tx:17.49 | if you choose not to do so. But you must exclude major areas of | fantasy from each other to save your sanity. Hear not this now! Have |
Tx:17.63 | the goal of truth. And peace will not be experienced except in | fantasy. Truth has not come because faith has been denied, being |
Tx:17.63 | understanding of the situation the goal of truth would bring. For | fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of experience, and the |
Tx:18.17 | but this you are not willing to accept. And so you substitute the | fantasy that reality is fearful, not what you would do to it. And |
Tx:18.24 | who have spent your lives in bringing truth to illusion, reality to | fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. For you have gone from waking |
Tx:18.24 | to a yet deeper sleep. Each dream has led to other dreams, and every | fantasy which seemed to bring a light into the darkness but made the |

Tx:1.2 | do not matter. The only thing that matters is their Source, Which is | far beyond human evaluation. |

Tx:2.60 | miscreations of the mind do not really exist. This recognition is a | far better protective device than any form of level confusion, |
Tx:2.70 | reflection of a much more powerful love-encompassment which is | far beyond any form of charity that man can conceive of as yet. |

Tx:3.79 | even though your minds are in conflict. You have not yet gone back | far enough, and that is why you become so fearful. As you approach |
Tx:4.1 | The Bible says that you should go with a brother twice as | far as he asks. It certainly does not suggest that you set him back |
Tx:4.15 | not let your ego dispute this because the ego cannot know what is as | far beyond its reach as you are. |
Tx:4.19 | of Heaven is the right of the Soul, whose beauty and dignity are | far beyond doubt, beyond perception, and stand forever as the mark of |
Tx:4.21 | devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul is | far beyond the need of your protection or mine. Remember this: |
Tx:4.37 | and not validity. “Reliable behavior” is a meaningful perception as | far as ego thinking goes. However, “valid behavior” is an expression |
Tx:4.93 | the Soul. You have conditioned yourselves the other way around. A | far greater reward, however, will break through any conditioning if |
Tx:4.95 | that imply being. The ego is thus against communication except in so | far as it is utilized to establish separateness rather than to |
Tx:6.33 | thus guarantee their ultimate meeting. This convergence seems to be | far in the future only because your mind is not in perfect alignment |
Tx:6.86 | there is something you must be vigilant against. It has advanced | far from the first lesson, which was primarily a reversal and also |
Tx:8.36 | nothing, but together our wills fuse into something whose power is | far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, |
Tx:9.20 | The ego's plan for forgiveness is | far more widely used than God's. This is because it is undertaken by |
Tx:9.38 | to obtain it. Your brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek | far for salvation. Every minute and every second gives you a chance |
Tx:10.19 | Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go | far beyond the healing you would undertake, for beside your small |
Tx:10.20 | trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of God. Yet you need | far more than patience. |
Tx:11.77 | The Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and kept him | far away from your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the |
Tx:11.78 | perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is | far from you whose Self he is, for you chose to attack him, and he |
Tx:13.7 | and who are seeking you and where to find them. Knowledge is | far beyond your individual concern. You, who are part of it and all |
Tx:15.2 | takes time, and that the results of the Holy Spirit's teaching are | far in the future. This is not so. For the Holy Spirit uses time in |
Tx:15.5 | 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 be |
Tx:15.7 | insistence that the past and future be the same is hidden a | far more insidious threat to peace. The ego does not advertise its |
Tx:15.12 | salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes | far longer to teach you how to be willing to give Him this than for |
Tx:15.16 | when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed? Truth is so | far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was created |
Tx:15.19 | and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go. Yet they are | far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the Holy Spirit. |
Tx:15.29 | and beyond everyone to His Son's creations, but without leaving you. | Far beyond your little world but still in you, He extends forever. |
Tx:15.36 | go. The instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is but as | far away as your desire for it. As long as you desire it not and |
Tx:15.36 | you desire it not and cherish littleness instead, by so much is it | far from you. By so much as you want it will you bring it nearer. |
Tx:15.59 | to him, your hope of answer is diminished. On the contrary, you are | far more inclined to regard his success as witness to the possibility |
Tx:15.73 | demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the ego's altar | far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego really wants, you |
Tx:15.79 | not leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant has extended | far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use |
Tx:15.82 | are with the universe. And this universe, being of God, is | far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you perceive. For |
Tx:16.10 | you do not understand. Nor do you do them. It is their extension, | far beyond the limits you perceive, that demonstrates you did not do |
Tx:16.11 | you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A better and | far more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You do not |
Tx:16.26 | must be outside, where nothing is. You have taught this, and from | far off in the universe, yet not beyond yourself, the witnesses to |
Tx:16.62 | would deny his power, for the separate union excludes the universe. | Far more is left outside than would be taken in. For God is left |
Tx:16.65 | The period of disorientation which precedes the actual transition is | far shorter than the time it took to fix your minds so firmly on |
Tx:16.67 | of your relationships. Now no one need suffer, for you have come too | far to yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. |
Tx:17.32 | seems to you somehow to be “different.” Yet we have looked at it | far closer than at many other aspects of the ego's thought system |
Tx:17.51 | together. And take each other's hand to walk together along a road | far more familiar than you now believe. Is it not certain that you |
Tx:17.57 | you can more safely look beyond each situation in an understanding | far broader than you now possess. |
Tx:17.70 | set in you in whom the Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so | far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have no |
Tx:17.76 | be withheld. The strain of refusing faith to truth is enormous and | far greater than you realize. But to answer truth with faith entails |
Tx:17.79 | Give as you have received. And demonstrate that you have risen | far beyond any situation that could hold you back and keep you |
Tx:18.3 | While this appears to introduce quite variable behavior, a | far more serious effect lies in the fragmented perception from which |

Tx:19.61 | of the idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent | far beyond the body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and |
Tx:19.97 | Forget not that you came this | far together. And it was surely not the ego that led you here. No |
Tx:19.98 | stand before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus | far unless his brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to |

Tx:10.16 | it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son because he is both | Father and Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your will |
Tx:10.27 | so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For your | Father is your Creator, and you are like Him. |
Tx:10.30 | of the Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his | Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it |
Tx:10.30 | you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it with the light your | Father gave it. Then you will be worthy to dwell in the temple with |
Tx:10.32 | God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the Son deny the | Father without believing that the Father has denied him? God's laws |
Tx:10.32 | are at home? Can the Son deny the Father without believing that the | Father has denied him? God's laws hold only for your protection, and |
Tx:10.32 | and they never hold in vain. What you experience when you deny your | Father is still for your protection, for the power of your will |
Tx:10.35 | his voice in praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice of his | Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised without His Son, for their |
Tx:10.36 | you be. But love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your | Father love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door |
Tx:10.38 | Blessed is the Son of God, whose radiance is of his | Father and whose glory he wills to share as his Father shares it with |
Tx:10.38 | radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills to share as his | Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the Son, for |
Tx:10.38 | is no condemnation in the Son, for there is no condemnation in the | Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the Son must share |
Tx:10.38 | is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the | Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will |
Tx:10.38 | must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the | Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the |
Tx:10.56 | but hardly to what it has denied! The ego looks straight at the | Father and does not see Him, for it has denied His Son. |
Tx:10.57 | Would you remember the | Father? Accept His Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can |
Tx:10.57 | demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the Son is, the | Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He will |
Tx:10.57 | demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His | Father. They are silent because Christ speaks to them, and it is His |
Tx:10.59 | Christ does rise above the ego and all its works and ascends to the | Father and His Kingdom. |
Tx:10.60 | or free them? Would you transcend your prison and ascend to the | Father? For these questions are all the same and are answered |
Tx:10.62 | perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend unto the | Father together, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall |
Tx:10.62 | now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His | Father created him. |
Tx:10.64 | him without question as His own. Who, then, is your own? The | Father has given you all that is His, and He Himself is yours with |
Tx:10.68 | all things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be like the | Father. |
Tx:10.69 | The world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the | Father, for the world is not as you see it. God created only the |
Tx:10.70 | eternal because they are loving. And being loving, they are like the | Father and therefore cannot die. The real world can actually be |
Tx:10.71 | To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to create unlike your | Father, believing what you made to be capable of being unlike Him. |
Tx:10.82 | for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not understand your | Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you believe that |
Tx:10.83 | give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His | Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and |
Tx:10.83 | and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His | Father, and His Father is not deceived in Him. |
Tx:10.83 | will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His | Father is not deceived in Him. |
Tx:10.84 | that his mind is split, you will heal yours. Accept him as his | Father accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his |
Tx:10.84 | yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in no way separate from His | Father, whose every thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father |
Tx:10.84 | His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the Thought of His | Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in God's Son, for |
Tx:10.84 | yourself. And being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your | Father in Whom no deceit is possible. |
Tx:10.86 | deceived in God's Son, for he is one with himself and one with his | Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of |
Tx:10.86 | with himself and one with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His | Father, and you will learn of the Father's love for you. |
Tx:10.88 | own fear. You, my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your | Father and of yourselves. But you are merely deceived in them. |
Tx:10.89 | they are frightened. It is not the reality of your brothers or your | Father or yourself which frightens you. You do not know what they |
Tx:10.90 | real world in place of the false one you have made. And then your | Father will lean down to you and take the last step for you by |
Tx:11.7 | for the help of God, and you will recognize your own need for the | Father. |
Tx:11.8 | you answer in the name of Christ brings the remembrance of your | Father closer to your awareness. For the sake of your need, then, |
Tx:11.16 | brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your | Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his call |
Tx:11.16 | love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ for His | Father and for Himself. |
Tx:11.19 | way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His | Father or His Father's love for Him. |
Tx:11.20 | my help, for I did not walk alone, and I will walk with you as our | Father walked with me. Did you not know that I walked with Him in |
Tx:11.33 | You were willing to accept even death to deny your | Father. Yet He would not have it so, and so it is not so. You still |
Tx:11.39 | He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the | Father. |
Tx:11.41 | Behold the Guide your | Father gave you that you might learn you have eternal life. For death |
Tx:11.41 | Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is true is the Will of the | Father. You pay no price for life, for that was given you, but you do |
Tx:11.54 | Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. For the | Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to |
Tx:11.54 | remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the | Father. God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget |
Tx:11.54 | God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget your | Father, but you did not will to do so, and therefore you can decide |
Tx:11.57 | you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your | Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins |
Tx:11.57 | he will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the | Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in |
Tx:11.58 | blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his | Father, where Christ waits as his Self. |
Tx:11.59 | as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is His love for His | Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. |
Tx:11.59 | the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His | Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become |
Tx:11.60 | into it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the | Father and becomes one with it. Very gently does God shine upon |
Tx:11.71 | of the mind which created us. For we are there in the peace of the | Father, Who wills to project His peace through you. |
Tx:11.75 | it is a traitor to you who believe you have been treacherous to your | Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the |
Tx:11.76 | for myself alone? And would eternal life have been given me of the | Father unless He had also given it to you? When you learn to make me |
Tx:11.77 | Do you really believe that you can kill the Son of God? The | Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and kept him far away |
Tx:11.77 | far away from your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the | Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real world every |
Tx:11.78 | God's Son is as safe as his | Father, for the Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. |
Tx:11.78 | you chose to attack him, and he disappeared from your sight into his | Father. He did not change, but you did. For a split mind and all its |
Tx:11.78 | you did. For a split mind and all its works were not created by the | Father and could not live in the knowledge of Him. |
Tx:11.82 | all of it. He has remembered you because He forgot not the | Father. |
Tx:11.84 | The Atonement is but the way back to what was never lost. Your | Father could not cease to love His Son. |
Tx:11.85 | denial but to hold on to it. For it is guilt that has obscured the | Father to you, and it is guilt that has driven you insane. |
Tx:11.87 | could have touched none of you, had you not believed that it was the | Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that belief, the |
Tx:11.87 | drove him out of paradise. For in that belief, the knowledge of the | Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could |
Tx:11.89 | He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember his | Father in peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical, and the Father |
Tx:11.89 | his Father in peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical, and the | Father can be remembered only in peace. Love and guilt cannot |
Tx:11.92 | God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on which his | Father sets him is one of release and joy. The Father is not cruel, |
Tx:11.92 | journey on which his Father sets him is one of release and joy. The | Father is not cruel, and His Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation |
Tx:11.93 | judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind of his | Father, and protects him forever. |
Tx:11.94 | have always followed him, for he has always extended the love of his | Father. |
Tx:11.95 | awakening. The Son of God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his | Father for you. There is no road to travel on and no time to travel |
Tx:12.9 | no dark cloud will remain between you and the remembrance of your | Father, for you will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die |
Tx:12.12 | by removing the dark cloud that obscures it, your love for your | Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You |
Tx:12.18 | so dear, is your real call for help. For you call for love to your | Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In that place which you |
Tx:12.18 | real call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your | Father calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you |
Tx:12.18 | In that place which you have hidden, you will only to unite with the | Father in loving remembrance of Him. You will find this place of |
Tx:12.19 | Save him from his illusions that you may accept the magnitude of your | Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you |
Tx:12.20 | for the request was alien to Him, and you could not ask this of a | Father Who truly loved His Son. Therefore you made of Him an unloving |
Tx:12.20 | peace of God's Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his | Father. He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his |
Tx:12.20 | He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his real | Father, having attacked his own glorious equality with Him. |
Tx:12.21 | to his demands except by departing in peace and returning to the | Father? If the Son did not wish to remain in peace, he could not |
Tx:12.39 | Little children, would you offer this to your | Father? For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him. |
Tx:12.40 | worlds, for as we are united, so would we unite with them. The | Father welcomes all of us in gladness, and gladness is what we should |
Tx:12.42 | within you, and He would extend it. And He will not return unto the | Father until He has extended your perception even unto Him. And there |
Tx:12.42 | Him. And there perception is no more, for He has returned you to the | Father with Him. |
Tx:12.43 | vision He beholds Himself. And seeing what He is, He knows His | Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son |
Tx:12.43 | Him, for His vision is His gift of love to you, given Him of the | Father for you. |
Tx:12.44 | they are. Because they saw the Son, they have risen in Him to the | Father. And all this will they understand because they looked within |
Tx:12.52 | shines forth from God's Son is the witness that his light is of his | Father. |
Tx:12.55 | which you have given it. And here will everything remind you of your | Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this |
Tx:12.57 | and given you the gifts He gave. God's Son is still as loving as his | Father. Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. So |
Tx:12.57 | God's Son is still as loving as his Father. Continuous with his | Father, he has no past apart from Him. So he has never ceased to be |
Tx:12.67 | is your awakening to what you have not lost. Praise, then, the | Father for the perfect sanity of His most holy Son. |
Tx:12.68 | Your | Father knoweth that you have need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, |
Tx:12.76 | how to remember you. Thus does the Son of God give thanks unto his | Father for his purity. |
Tx:13.4 | Apart from the | Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not |
Tx:13.6 | and equal in their holiness. And He will offer them unto His | Father as they were offered unto Him. There is one miracle, as there |
Tx:13.6 | was is God's most holy Son, created in the One Reality that is his | Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His Being is His Father's |
Tx:13.7 | are part of it and all of it, need only realize that it is of the | Father, not of you. Your role in the redemption leads you to it by |
Tx:13.8 | time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the | Father. The holy light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you |
Tx:13.8 | is in you, your creations will be there with you, as you are in your | Father. |
Tx:13.11 | Guilt remains the only thing that hides the | Father, for guilt is the attack upon His Son. The guilty always |
Tx:13.17 | the Atonement, shining in quiet and in peace upon the altar to your | Father. |
Tx:13.19 | Within you is the holy sign of perfect faith your | Father has in you. He does not value you as you do. He knows Himself |
Tx:13.24 | is welcome to you as you would have yourself be welcome to your | Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the |
Tx:13.27 | within and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his | Father loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever |
Tx:13.27 | loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever thought his | Father loved him not and looked upon him as condemned. The moment |
Tx:13.28 | to the holy place where you will see the light. The altar to your | Father is as pure as He Who raised it to Himself. Nothing can keep |
Tx:13.29 | fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your | Father can have no fear for any reason to look within and see your |
Tx:13.31 | be still. In quiet look upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his | Father that no guilt has ever touched him. |
Tx:13.32 | for what you see will banish guilt forever. I thank You, | Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, whom You have created |
Tx:13.33 | I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I give my | Father. My trust in you is without limit and without the fear that |
Tx:13.33 | limit and without the fear that you will hear me not. I thank the | Father for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you will let |
Tx:13.34 | Praise be unto you who make the | Father one with His own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but together we |
Tx:13.34 | will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your | Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will |
Tx:13.40 | want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your | Father has given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in nothing. |
Tx:13.52 | by the capricious and unholy whim of death and murder that your | Father shared not with you. You have set yourselves the task of |
Tx:13.67 | it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring peace to God's Son from his | Father. |
Tx:13.79 | of God's Son, whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his | Father and judge against Him. And you will feel guilty for this |
Tx:13.81 | alone without you. And so He gives you what is yours because your | Father would have you share it with Him. In everything be led by Him |
Tx:13.86 | first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the | Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First, there is no |
Tx:13.88 | your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your | Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving |
Tx:13.91 | attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with your God and | Father, and awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join |
Tx:14.1 | for knowing Him. Accepting His Son as guilty is denial of the | Father so complete that knowledge is swept away from recognition in |
Tx:14.2 | for Him and for yourselves. You cannot understand how much your | Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the |
Tx:14.3 | The Children of Heaven live in the light of the blessing of their | Father because they know that they are sinless. The Atonement was |
Tx:14.3 | of the Son of God. It does not teach you what you are or what your | Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely |
Tx:14.7 | Blessed Son of a wholly blessing | Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has |
Tx:14.8 | separation slip away and full communication be restored between the | Father and the Son. |
Tx:14.13 | are you who teach with me. Our power comes not of us but of our | Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I |
Tx:14.20 | means which you have made for breaking your communication with your | Father. The Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing |
Tx:14.32 | Whom He would save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the | Father that through Him you would be released from littleness to |
Tx:14.33 | with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your | Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And |
Tx:14.33 | worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to | Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, |
Tx:14.34 | be divided cannot cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated | Father and His Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All |
Tx:14.34 | here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the | Father and the Son, as both would have it be. And so it is. |
Tx:14.36 | and by His creations. In the holy meeting place are joined the | Father and His creations, and the creations of His Son with them |
Tx:14.37 | The link with which the | Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him |
Tx:14.37 | together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the | Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom |
Tx:14.38 | is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making from your | Father, for hiding it has cost you knowledge of Him and of |
Tx:14.47 | only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his | Father dawns on him, and he can no longer be satisfied with anything |
Tx:14.55 | for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your | Father, let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only the |
Tx:14.63 | but one thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His | Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in one form or |
Tx:14.63 | ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you will with the | Father unto His Son. |
Tx:14.67 | miracles has been provided for you. God's Son can make no needs His | Father will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He |
Tx:14.71 | here, and you will remember that you have always created like your | Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased, having the holy |
Tx:15.14 | enough to transcend all of the ego's making and ascend unto your | Father. |
Tx:15.26 | without His Son, and His Son cannot be content with less than his | Father has given him. We asked you once before, “Would you be hostage |
Tx:15.28 | then, with littleness, in the name of Christ, eternal Host unto His | Father. |
Tx:15.31 | is not of this world because it is in you. And you are of your | Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond |
Tx:15.32 | Decide with me, who have decided to abide with you. I will as my | Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with |
Tx:15.32 | no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. What my | Father loves, I love as He does, and I can no more accept it as what |
Tx:15.38 | you learn how perfect and immaculate is the holy altar on which your | Father has placed Himself? This you will recognize in the holy |
Tx:15.46 | For to experience yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the | Father and his Son and thus to attack reality. |
Tx:15.59 | What you find difficult to accept is the fact that, like your | Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can give yourself |
Tx:15.63 | in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give yourself as your | Father gives His Self, you will learn to understand Selfhood. And |
Tx:15.65 | and always obscured by it is the powerful attraction of the | Father for His Son. There is no other love that can satisfy you, |
Tx:15.81 | never leave. The loneliness of God's Son is the loneliness of his | Father. Refuse not the awareness of your completion and seek not to |
Tx:15.82 | are joined in God through Christ, where they become like to their | Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His Father, Who is His |
Tx:15.82 | like to their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His | Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His Father |
Tx:15.82 | His Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His | Father gives to Him. |
Tx:15.90 | weak and dim and limited, for you have attempted to separate the | Father from the Son and limit their communication. Seek not Atonement |
Tx:15.92 | It is in your power in time to delay the perfect union of the | Father and the Son. For in this world, the attraction of guilt does |
Tx:15.101 | to protect yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your | Father have become very fearful to you. And you would bargain with |
Tx:15.103 | our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our | Father, and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear in |
Tx:15.104 | of your relationship with God. Through guilt you exclude your | Father and your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them |
Tx:15.108 | Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it to the | Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of Christ, communication |
Tx:15.109 | Wholeness as we welcome Him into ourselves. Those who receive the | Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who created them. And by |
Tx:15.109 | created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the | Father enters with Him, and with Him they remember the only |
Tx:16.27 | will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His | Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end, and there is |
Tx:16.39 | your own sense of completion and thus denies the wholeness of your | Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, deprives you of |
Tx:16.41 | Your | Father can no more forget the truth in you than you can fail to |
Tx:16.81 | Forgive us our illusions, | Father, and help us to accept our true relationship with You in which |
Tx:17.7 | which the Holy Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the | Father for. He was created to see this for you until you learn to see |
Tx:17.42 | and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace together to the | Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will gain everything |
Tx:17.79 | for your relationship, you became givers of peace as surely as your | Father gave peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted |
Tx:18.49 | of Heaven is the dwelling-place of the Son of God, who left not his | Father and dwells not apart from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a |
Tx:19.11 | the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a Son of your most loving | Father, loved by Him like you and therefore loved by you as yourself. |
Tx:19.12 | offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his | Father as to him. And therefore offered you. |
Tx:19.20 | is this doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of God as his | Father created him and willed that he be forever. Is this humility? |
Tx:19.23 | present, and his future. For he has somehow managed to corrupt his | Father and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of |
Tx:19.39 | gently before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the | Father will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in |
Tx:19.63 | fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your | Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In your holy |
Tx:19.66 | itself. Salvation flows from deep within the home you offered to my | Father and to me. And we are there together in the quiet communion in |
Tx:19.66 | to me. And we are there together in the quiet communion in which the | Father and the Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union |
Tx:19.66 | and the Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union of the | Father and Son in you! And keep you not apart from what is offered |
Tx:19.76 | the Holy Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the | Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy |
Tx:19.85 | against the ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of our | Father, this is a dream of death. There is no funeral, no dark |
Tx:19.90 | held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your | Father. The Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the |
Tx:19.90 | The Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the | Father of the universe and of the universe of universes and of |
Tx:19.93 | lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and join Him in His | Father. |
Tx:19.107 | of God's Son and let him rise again to glad remembrance of his | Father, Who knows no sin, no death, but only life eternal. |
Tx:19.108 | you offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is and what his | Father created him to be. |
Tx:19.110 | and place the Son of God safely within the sure protection of his | Father. Here is the only purpose that gives this world and the long |
Tx:20.27 | see God within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the | Father. And where else would they go but where they will to be? Each |
Tx:20.27 | where they will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the | Father as surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your |
Tx:20.37 | in a holy relationship. There he begins to find the certainty his | Father has in him. And there he finds his function of restoring his |
Tx:20.40 | you want except his offering? His worth has been established by his | Father, and you will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift |
Tx:20.44 | to him and know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself not as his | Father knows him. And yet it is impossible the confidence of God |
Tx:20.45 | the Son of God invented an unholy relationship between him and his | Father. His real relationship is one of perfect union and unbroken |
Tx:20.45 | broken into fragments, and full of fear. The one created by his | Father is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he |
Tx:20.54 | reflects the true relationship the Son of God has with his | Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty |
Tx:20.57 | can they long withhold the memory of their relationship with their | Father from themselves and keep remembrance of His love apart from |
Tx:20.70 | not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to your | Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with radiant purity and sparkling |
Tx:21.11 | of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his | Father. Here is the memory of what you are—a part of this, with all |
Tx:21.11 | to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son of God sings to his | Father still. |
Tx:21.26 | made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and | Father, effect and Source. |
Tx:21.28 | Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving | Father Who created you together and as one. See what “proves” |
Tx:21.28 | between you, keeping you from each other and separate from your | Father, you made in secret, and the instant of release has come to |
Tx:21.64 | by your choice that he is damned—separate from you and from his | Father forever and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, |
Tx:21.68 | blessing. The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the thanks your | Father gives you for completing Him. And here alone does reason tell |
Tx:21.68 | does reason tell you that you can understand what you must be. Your | Father is as close to you as is your brother. Yet what is there that |
Tx:22.15 | other as His chosen home, for here you will with Him and with His | Father. This is your Father's Will for you, and yours with His. And |
Tx:22.47 | and what can separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your | Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to |
Tx:22.54 | than the sun which lights the sky you see, is chosen of your | Father as a means for His own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours |
Tx:22.59 | What can it be but universal blessing to look on what your | Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy |
Tx:22.61 | Who can attack the Son of God and not attack his | Father? How can God's Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed |
Tx:22.61 | How can God's Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed unless his | Father is? You do not see that every sin and every condemnation which |
Tx:22.61 | condemnation which you perceive and justify is an attack upon your | Father. And that is why it has not happened nor could be real. You do |
Tx:22.61 | real. You do not see that this is your attempt because you think the | Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that they are |
Tx:22.62 | attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Son without the | Father, and to attack another without yourself or hurt yourself |
Tx:23.11 | is not himself and not his Father's Son. For this, the memory of his | Father must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body's life, and if |
Tx:23.15 | be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here will the | Father never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and |
Tx:23.23 | Think what this seems to do to the relationship between the | Father and the Son. Now it appears that they can never be one again. |
Tx:23.49 | extension, and what is His must be His Son's as well. Either the | Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death, |
Tx:23.53 | battle still are gone and not perceived. The body stands between the | Father and the Heaven He created for His Son because it has no |
Tx:24.8 | this that will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his | Father created him like you. There is no difference. You have been |
Tx:24.10 | are alike. You have no purpose that is not the same and none your | Father does not share with you. For your relationship has been made |
Tx:24.14 | Here is the self-made “savior,” the “creator” who creates unlike the | Father and which made His Son like to itself and not like unto Him. |
Tx:24.17 | The shining radiance of the Son of God—so like his | Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And with |
Tx:24.17 | the Son remembers his own creations, as like to him as he is to his | Father. And all the world he made and all his specialness and all the |
Tx:24.31 | the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect | Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here |
Tx:24.33 | of them. The print of nails are on your hands as well. Forgive your | Father. It was not His Will that you be crucified. |
Tx:24.37 | what comfort has ever been in them that you would keep the gift your | Father asks from Him and give it there instead? Given to Him, the |
Tx:24.40 | what He sees because He knows that it is one with Him and with His | Father. Specialness, too, takes joy in what it sees, although it is |
Tx:24.49 | before his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his | Father waits for your acknowledgment that He created you as part of |
Tx:24.50 | there would be a lack in God, a Heaven incomplete, a Son without a | Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For what God wills |
Tx:24.50 | he has is yours because you are not separate from him nor from his | Father. |
Tx:24.52 | by the world, by time, and all appearances, you will not know the | Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its |
Tx:24.61 | know. To Him this judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His | Father wills is possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see. |
Tx:24.62 | reverence. This is your son, beloved of you as you are to your | Father. Yet it stands in place of your creations, who are son to you, |
Tx:24.66 | The | Father keeps what He created safe. You cannot touch it with the false |
Tx:24.68 | A co-creator with the | Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like |
Tx:25.4 | aspects of His holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His | Father, whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting Love. |
Tx:25.8 | you to join the truth may reach to you through what you understand. | Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join |
Tx:25.8 | as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His | Father never have been separate, and Christ abides within your |
Tx:25.9 | where the error lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the | Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really |
Tx:25.20 | His praise of what He loves? God cherishes creation as the perfect | Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any part of |
Tx:25.21 | your brother, and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his | Father. You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never |
Tx:25.21 | what He has given you that you may see His Son as one and thank his | Father as He thanks you. Nor believe that all His praise is given not |
Tx:25.21 | His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the | Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His Will |
Tx:25.53 | Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the | Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief |
Tx:25.53 | form of reason believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the | Father and the Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because |
Tx:25.55 | eternal truth of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the | Father and the Son must be to make that viewpoint meaningful and sane. |
Tx:25.58 | without a special function in the hope of peace than could the | Father overlook His Son and pass him by in careless thoughtlessness. |
Tx:25.76 | to them both, since they are equal in the Holy Spirit's sight. Their | Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less |
Tx:26.4 | could be demanded than that God's Son perceive himself without his | Father? And his Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice |
Tx:26.4 | than that God's Son perceive himself without his Father? And his | Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be |
Tx:26.27 | in its place. Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His | Father as He really is? Who could fear love and stand upon the ground |
Tx:26.38 | can only be unreal. Such is the justice your ever-loving | Father has ensured must come to you. And from your own unfairness to |
Tx:26.61 | will he know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his | Father and himself and made them both his enemies in hate. |
Tx:26.63 | again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his | Father wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because |
Tx:26.63 | wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his | Father wills that he should live. |
Tx:26.64 | be forever. For you have power to save the Son of God because his | Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does all salvation |
Tx:26.84 | an ancient enmity that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do God the | Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now |
Tx:26.91 | By this do I deny the Presence of the | Father and the Son. And I would rather know of Them than see |
Tx:27.1 | occur at all, it would entail the whole of God's creation and the | Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son. |
Tx:27.18 | and miserable cry of death and guilt. The ancient calling of the | Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last |
Tx:27.73 | Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his | Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so |
Tx:27.76 | He represents his | Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. Brother, |
Tx:27.76 | see as gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you dream your | Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen in light of |
Tx:28.15 | where he can glimpse another shore which he can never reach. His | Father wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over. He has |
Tx:28.16 | there is no cause. The cause a cause is made by its effects; the | Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not create their cause, but |
Tx:28.23 | The separation started with the dream the | Father was deprived of His effects and powerless to keep them since |
Tx:28.35 | was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome for your | Father and your Self. The door is open that all those may come who |
Tx:28.36 | Them. And no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the | Father lays before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in |
Tx:28.43 | not his dream, has left the space between them vacant. And the | Father comes to join His Son the Holy Spirit joined. |
Tx:28.44 | left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the | Father will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself. |
Tx:28.45 | I thank you, | Father, knowing you will come to close each little gap that lies |
Tx:28.46 | brother's dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son, the | Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost |
Tx:28.59 | God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his creation did his | Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you |
Tx:28.60 | something he has not. A space where God is not, a gap between the | Father and the Son is not the will of either, who have promised to be |
Tx:28.66 | health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and everything his | Father promised him. No secret promise you have made instead has |
Tx:29.21 | Think you the | Father lost Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He |
Tx:29.24 | gratitude and love. He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his | Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so the light in him is |
Tx:29.31 | still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the | Father and the Son. Where both abide are They remembered both. And |
Tx:29.34 | There is no gift the | Father asks of you but that you see in all creation but the shining |
Tx:29.34 | of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His perfect gift in whom his | Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as his own. |
Tx:29.35 | house. Would you not want to be a friend to him, created by his | Father as His home? If God esteems him worthy of Himself, would you |
Tx:29.39 | cannot keep. The Son of Life cannot be killed. He is immortal as his | Father. What he is cannot be changed. He is the only thing in all the |
Tx:29.51 | chants of deep despair to idols of yourself. Seek not outside your | Father for your hope. For hope of happiness is not despair. |
Tx:29.57 | chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his | Father, come to hate a little while, to suffer pain, and finally to |
Tx:30.46 | Who knows the | Father knows this light, for He is the eternal sky which holds it |
Tx:30.48 | The mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of | Father and Son joined in creation which can have no end. You have not |
Tx:30.60 | be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows everything his | Father understands and understands it perfectly with Him. |
Tx:30.63 | Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before the | Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has |
Tx:30.79 | I thank you, | Father, for your perfect Son, and in his glory will I see my own. |
Tx:30.81 | you a graven image and a sign of death. Is this your savior? Is his | Father wrong about His Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has |
Tx:31.24 | love each other with a brother's love. And as a brother, must his | Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself. |
Tx:31.67 | does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your | Father wills for you can never change. The truth in you remains as |
Tx:31.95 | I thank You, | Father, for these holy ones who are my brothers as they are Your |
W1:45.11 | it as you would an altar dedicated in Heaven itself to God the | Father and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to |
W1:50.4 | Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where your | Father has placed you forever. |
W1:56.5 | Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the Will of my | Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who |
W1:58.6 | suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My | Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His |
W1:67.8 | that tells you this. This is the Voice for God reminding you of your | Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing |
W1:69.8 | Have confidence in your | Father today. And be certain that He has heard you and has answered |
W1:72.12 | What is salvation, | Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. |
W1:72.14 | our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, | Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will find. |
W1:72.16 | What is salvation, | Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. |
W1:72.19 | plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, | Father? |
W1:73.3 | a world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his | Father? Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of |
W1:73.10 | you unwillingly. It is the one purpose here on which you and your | Father are in perfect accord. |
W1:76.11 | saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About the love your | Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you. About His |
W1:76.14 | all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is our | Father and that His Son is saved. |
W1:77.2 | in the truth of what you are. It is implicit in what God your | Father is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the laws |
W1:95.17 | Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with your | Father in His Will. |
W1:95.20 | of peace. Your own acknowledgment you are One Self, united with your | Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone |
W1:99.9 | what you say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your | Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive |
W1:99.15 | your completeness, unity, and peace. You cannot lose the gifts your | Father gave. You do not want to be another self. You have no function |
W1:100.1 | Just as God's Son completes his | Father, so your part in it completes your Father's plan. Salvation |
W1:106.2 | Listen and hear your | Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, Which silences the |
W1:106.5 | voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's Son except his | Father calling through your Self? |
W1:107.8 | will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your | Father wills these dreams be gone. Let truth correct them all. We do |
W1:107.10 | of life to Him as well. He is your brother and so like to you your | Father knows that you are both the same. It is your Self you ask to |
W1:117.3 | truth. Love is my heritage and with it joy. These are the gifts my | Father gave to me. I would accept all that is mine in truth. |
W1:120.3 | God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my | Father tell me Who I really am. |
W1:122.3 | clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your | Father can arise across the threshold of your mind. |
W1:123.2 | gifts you have received. Be glad today in loving thankfulness your | Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark |
W1:123.8 | He gave His Son that he might rise above the world remembering his | Father and his Self. |
W1:124.7 | have accepted and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts our | Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so |
W1:124.7 | experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from our | Father, it is healed along with us. |
W1:125.1 | Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your | Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep |
W1:125.4 | Hear, holy Son of God, your | Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread |
W1:125.8 | and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of | Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him |
W1:127.3 | is the power holding everything as one, the link between the | Father and the Son which holds them both forever as the same. |
W1:127.8 | Call to your | Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised |
W1:132.13 | Himself. What He creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the | Father end, the Son begin as something separate from Him. |
W1:132.14 | because it is a thought apart from God and made to separate the | Father and the Son and break away a part of God Himself and thus |
W1:132.15 | They cannot be there—no more than we. For we are in the home our | Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He created us |
W1:136.10 | opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, the | Father incomplete, and chaos sits in triumph on His throne. |
W1:140.8 | to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our | Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than |
W1:140.11 | to make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear our | Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today. |
W1:140.13 | Only salvation can be said to cure. Speak to us, | Father, that we may be healed. |
W1:R4.4 | This is a fact and represents the truth of what you are and what your | Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to |
W1:R4.4 | you are and what your Father is. It is this thought by which the | Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator |
W1:R4.4 | to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his | Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his |
W1:R4.11 | happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all our | Father wills that we receive as the inheritance we have of Him. |
W1:142.1 | [123] I thank my | Father for His gifts to me. |
W1:151.9 | reality. What can the body mean to Him Who knows the glory of the | Father and the Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear? What could |
W1:152.8 | take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the | Father and the Son. |
W1:152.15 | Self. God's Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your | Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic |
W1:153.13 | You who have played that you are lost to hope, abandoned by your | Father, left alone in terror in a fearful world made mad by sin and |
W1:154.4 | It is this joining through the Voice of God of | Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is |
W1:158.2 | shared directly in the way that vision can. The revelation that the | Father and the Son are one will come in time to every mind. Yet is |
W1:159.4 | in His sight the sinless are as one. Their holiness was given by His | Father and Himself. |
W1:160.8 | assure you, quietly and sure, that you are not a stranger to your | Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you. Whom God has joined |
W1:163.4 | love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of | Father and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath the |
W1:163.7 | over His, and so eternal life gave way to death. And with the | Father died the Son as well. |
W1:163.9 | Our | Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would |
W1:165.1 | and death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your | Father wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed |
W1:167.1 | an opposite to God does not exist. There is no death because the | Father and the Son are one. |
W1:168.7 | Your grace is given me. I claim it now. | Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son |
W1:169.4 | appeared to contradict our statement that the revelation of the | Father and the Son as one has been already set. But we have also said |
W1:169.6 | holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into His | Father, as his Father has in him. The world has never been at all. |
W1:169.6 | The Son of God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his | Father has in him. The world has never been at all. Eternity remains |
W1:170.14 | Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in us for there is none in | |
W1:R5.2 | Steady our feet, our | Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and |
W1:R5.6 | love, and never changes from Its constant state of union with Its | Father and Itself. |
W1:R5.11 | not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me. Our | Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not then be |
W1:182.5 | It is this Child in you your | Father knows as His own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father. |
W1:182.5 | you your Father knows as His own Son. It is this Child Who knows His | Father. He desires to go home so deeply, so unceasingly, His voice |
W1:183.11 | His Father's Thoughts become his own. He makes his claim to all his | Father gave, is giving still, and will forever give. He calls on Him |
W1:183.12 | universe consists of nothing but the Son of God who calls upon his | Father. And his Father's Voice gives answer in his Father's holy |
W1:184.15 | Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things | |
W1:186.3 | quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says is that your | Father still remembers you and offers you the perfect trust He holds |
W1:187.10 | for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one | Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as one Son of |
W1:188.6 | their home. And they point surely to their Source where God the | Father and the Son are one. |
W1:189.8 | all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the | Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in joyful |
W1:189.10 | Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You | |
W1:190.3 | The body is the Son of God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the | Father he has slain. |
W1:193.20 | hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings the Love of God the | Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God will take |
W1:195.4 | only be sincere if it is joined to love. We offer thanks to God our | Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It will never |
W1:195.6 | We thank our | Father for one thing alone—that we are separate from no living |
W1:196.5 | of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could believe his | Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him and waiting to destroy |
W1:196.11 | can call on Him to save you from illusions in His Love, calling Him | Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon— |
W1:197.7 | come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being in His | Father is secure because Their will is one. Their gratitude to all |
W1:198.3 | It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his | Father, knowing They are one. |
W1:198.7 | all are one—a place where death is offered to God's Son and to his | Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you will look again |
W1:198.12 | dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your | Father. Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home |
W1:198.14 | is, that to behold the Son is to perceive no more and only know the | Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that not an instant |
W1:200.9 | desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The | Father calls; the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what |
W1:200.1 | my brother. I am blessed with oneness with the universe and God, my | Father, One Creator of the whole that is my Self, forever one with |
W1:219.1 | upon this. And then return to earth without confusion as to what my | Father loves forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am |
W2:I.2 | merely a beginning. For we wait in quiet expectation for our God and | Father. He has promised He will take the final step Himself. And we |
W2:I.3 | have given God. We say some simple words of welcome and expect our | Father to reveal Himself as He has promised. We have called on Him, |
W2:I.5 | For now we cannot fail. Sit silently and wait upon your | Father. He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is |
W2:I.6 | I am so close to you we cannot fail. | Father, we give these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who |
W2:I.7 | which are Your will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The | Father and the Son, Whose holy will created all that is, can fail in |
W2:221.1 | Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can | |
W2:221.1 | the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My | Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and |
W2:222.2 | Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our | |
W2:223.2 | Our | Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we |
W2:224.1 | it to give it light. It lights the world as well. It is the gift my | Father gave me, the one as well I give the world. There is no gift |
W2:224.2 | My Name, oh | Father, still is known to You. I have forgotten it and do not know |
W2:224.2 | not know where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, | Father, now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would |
W2:225.1 | Father, I must return Your love for me. For giving and receiving are | |
W2:226.2 | Father, my home awaits my glad return. Your arms are open, and I hear | |
W2:227.1 | Father, it is today that I am free because my will is Yours. I | |
W2:227.1 | be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. | Father, I know my will is one with Yours. |
W2:228.1 | My | Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge and believe in |
W2:228.2 | Father, I was mistaken in myself because I failed to realize the | |
W2:229.1 | attests the truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but which my | Father has kept safe for me. |
W2:229.2 | Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity | |
W2:230.1 | remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my | Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask |
W2:230.2 | Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was | |
W2:WS.5 | almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to wait until his | Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the |
W2:231.1 | What can I seek for, | Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else—a |
W2:231.2 | And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is our | Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is |
W2:232.1 | Be in my mind, my | Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the day today. Let |
W2:232.2 | be. Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your | Father. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you, |
W2:233.1 | Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. | |
W2:234.1 | as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the | Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today. |
W2:234.2 | We thank You, | Father, that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We |
W2:235.2 | Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me and made my | |
W2:236.2 | Father, my mind is open to Your thoughts and closed today to every | |
W2:237.1 | I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my | Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would have me |
W2:237.2 | eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today. | Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as |
W2:238.1 | Father, Your trust in me has been so great I must be worthy. You | |
W2:238.2 | And so again today we pause to think how much our | Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains |
W2:239.1 | by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our | Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any |
W2:239.2 | We thank You, | Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it |
W2:241.2 | have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. | Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How |
W2:243.2 | Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its | |
W2:245.1 | Your peace surrounds me, | Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. It sheds its light |
W2:245.1 | or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my | Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as |
W2:246.1 | Let me not try to hurt God's Son and think that I can know his | Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself and still |
W2:246.1 | recognize myself and still believe that my awareness can contain my | Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me and |
W2:246.1 | can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my | Father has for me and all the love which I return to Him. |
W2:246.2 | I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my | Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your Will. And I |
W2:248.2 | Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your Son | |
W2:248.2 | love for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as well. | Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my |
W2:249.2 | Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held | |
W2:250.2 | He is Your Son, my | Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my |
W2:WIS.4 | with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his | Father shines on him and loves him with an everlasting Love which his |
W2:251.2 | And for that peace, our | Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have restored, |
W2:252.2 | Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your | |
W2:254.1 | Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I | |
W2:255.1 | in the peace of Heaven. In his name I give today to finding what my | Father wills for me, accepting it as mine and giving it to all my |
W2:255.2 | And so, my | Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten |
W2:256.2 | And so, our | Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal |
W2:257.2 | Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us | |
W2:259.2 | Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love | |
W2:260.1 | Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I | |
W2:260.1 | not left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my | Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me |
W2:261.2 | Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my | Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find |
W2:262.1 | Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. | |
W2:262.1 | Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his | Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him, |
W2:263.1 | Father, Your Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; | |
W2:264.1 | Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see | |
W2:264.1 | creation or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. | Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name |
W2:266.1 | Father, You gave me all Your Sons to be my saviors and my counselors | |
W2:267.2 | Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. | Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created. |
W2:270.1 | Father, Christ's vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to | |
W2:270.1 | can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his | Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly |
W2:WIC.2 | by anything the body's eyes perceive. For though in Him His | Father placed the means for your salvation, yet does He remain the |
W2:WIC.2 | means for your salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His | Father, knows no sin. |
W2:271.1 | death. For nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the | Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified. |
W2:271.2 | Father, Christ's vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites | |
W2:272.1 | Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your | |
W2:273.2 | Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything | |
W2:274.1 | Father, today I would let all things be as You created them and give | |
W2:274.2 | A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our | Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today because |
W2:275.2 | what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. | Father, Your Voice protects all things through me. |
W2:276.1 | “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the | Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word |
W2:276.1 | Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our | Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we need but to |
W2:276.2 | Father, Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all | |
W2:277.1 | Your Son is free, my | Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to |
W2:278.1 | in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my | Father prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the |
W2:278.1 | and cannot be escaped. If I am bound in any way, I do not know my | Father or my Self. And I am lost to all reality. For truth is free, |
W2:278.2 | Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish | |
W2:279.2 | I will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My | Father loves the Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold |
W2:280.1 | God but is forever pure. Can I lay limits on the Son of God, whose | Father willed that he be limitless and like Himself in freedom and in |
W2:280.2 | let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. | Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You created |
W2:WIHS.3 | If you but knew how much your | Father yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not |
W2:281.1 | Father, Your Son is perfect. When he thinks that he is hurt in any | |
W2:281.2 | I will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My | Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not |
W2:282.1 | decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my | Father and my Source, created me. This the determination not to be |
W2:282.2 | Father, Your Name is Love, and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can | |
W2:283.1 | Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of | |
W2:283.1 | Your creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my | Father loves. His holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love |
W2:283.2 | Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our | Father as our only Source and everything created part of us. And so |
W2:284.2 | Father, what You have given cannot hurt, and grief and pain must be | |
W2:285.2 | Father, my holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and through | |
W2:286.1 | Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in place! | |
W2:287.2 | You are my goal, my | Father. What but You could I desire to have? What way but that which |
W2:289.2 | Father, let me not look upon a past that is not there. For You have | |
W2:290.2 | today while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, | Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I |
W2:291.2 | myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are wholly certain. | Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my |
W2:292.2 | We thank You, | Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the end. Help us |
W2:293.2 | Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. Nor let my | |
W2:294.2 | My body, | Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful |
W2:295.2 | My | Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be |
W2:297.2 | Father, how certain are Your ways, how sure their final outcome, and | |
W2:298.2 | Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any way but | |
W2:298.2 | and escape from everything that would obscure my love for God, my | Father, and His holy Son. |
W2:299.1 | is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God my | Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our will |
W2:299.2 | Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by | |
W2:WISC.4 | which all Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the | Father smiles upon His Son, His one creation and His only joy. |
W2:301.1 | Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain or feel I | |
W2:301.1 | all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. | Father, I will not judge Your world today. |
W2:302.1 | Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as | |
W2:303.2 | Your Son is welcome, | Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the |
W2:304.2 | and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my | Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may find again the |
W2:305.2 | Father, the peace of Christ is given us because it is Your will that | |
W2:306.2 | And so, our | Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away, remembering |
W2:307.1 | Father, Your will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for | |
W2:308.2 | Thanks for this instant, | Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have |
W2:309.2 | The step I take today, my | Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands |
W2:310.1 | This day, my | Father, would I spend with You, as You have chosen all my days should |
W2:WILJ.5 | and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Me. I am your | Father and you are My Son.” |
W2:311.2 | Father, we wait with open mind today to hear Your Judgment of the Son | |
W2:312.2 | upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made. | Father, this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my |
W2:313.1 | Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so | |
W2:314.2 | Father, we were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to | |
W2:315.2 | I thank You, | Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from |
W2:316.1 | allows a past mistake to go and leave no shadow on the holy mind my | Father loves. His grace is given me in every gift a brother has |
W2:316.2 | Father, I would accept Your gifts today. I do not recognize them. Yet | |
W2:317.2 | Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I | |
W2:318.2 | Let me today, my | Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept |
W2:319.2 | Father, Your Will is total. And the goal that stems from it shares | |
W2:320.1 | no limits on his strength, his peace, his joy, or any attributes his | Father gave in his creation. What he wills with his Creator and |
W2:320.1 | Redeemer must be done. His holy will can never be denied because his | Father shines upon his mind and lays before it all the strength and |
W2:WICR.5 | Our | Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the |
W2:321.1 | made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to find it. | Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing |
W2:321.1 | directs me. And the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. | Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I |
W2:321.1 | opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. | Father, it is my will that I return. |
W2:321.2 | us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our | Father has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation |
W2:322.2 | Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I | |
W2:324.1 | Father, You are the One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You | |
W2:325.2 | Our | Father, Your Ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but |
W2:326.1 | Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy thought that never left | |
W2:327.2 | Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my | |
W2:328.1 | is sickness, suffering and loss, and death. This is not what our | Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join |
W2:328.2 | eternally at peace. And happily I share that will which You, my | Father, gave as part of me. |
W2:329.1 | Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its | |
W2:329.1 | for all eternity. It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. | Father, my will is Yours. And I am safe, untroubled and serene in |
W2:330.2 | Father, Your Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but | |
W2:331.1 | How foolish, | Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he |
W2:331.1 | and be left without a certain way to his release? You love me, | Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of |
W2:332.2 | prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free. | Father, we would release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is given |
W2:333.2 | Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict | |
W2:334.1 | I will not wait another day to find the treasures which my | Father offers me. Illusions must be vain and dreams are gone, even |
W2:336.2 | wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, | Father, look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; |
W2:337.1 | mine, to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to understand my | Father loves His Son, to know I am the Son my Father loves. |
W2:337.1 | harm, to understand my Father loves His Son, to know I am the Son my | Father loves. |
W2:337.2 | mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. | Father, my dream is ended now. Amen. |
W2:338.2 | Your plan is sure, my | Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have |
W2:339.2 | Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by | |
W2:340.1 | Father, I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it | |
W2:340.1 | and be free forever from all suffering. Thanks for today, my | Father. I was born into this world but to achieve this day and what |
W2:340.2 | Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. Our | Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved |
W2:340.2 | will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the | Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of |
W2:341.1 | Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and | |
W2:342.1 | I thank You, | Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. It is not |
W2:344.1 | This is Your law, my | Father, not my own. I have not understood what giving means and |
W2:345.1 | Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one | |
W2:345.1 | in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. | Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But |
W2:346.1 | Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all | |
W2:347.1 | Father, I want what goes against my will and do not want what is my | |
W2:347.1 | will and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my | Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to |
W2:348.1 | Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding | |
W2:349.1 | be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. | Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a |
W2:349.2 | Our | Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we |
W2:350.1 | But what he looks upon is their direct result. Therefore, my | Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory will set me free. And |
W2:351.1 | beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my | Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name. |
W2:352.1 | I have within me both the memory of You and One Who leads me to it. | Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I |
W2:353.1 | Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ to use in any way | |
W2:354.1 | the Christ in me. I have no purpose but His own. And He is like His | Father. Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is Christ |
W2:355.1 | Why should I wait, my | Father, for the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You |
W2:355.1 | along with You. Your Son would be Himself and know You as his | Father and Creator and his Love. |
W2:356.1 | Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your Son | |
W2:358.1 | for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my | Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You offer me, in |
W2:359.1 | Father, today we will forgive Your world and let creation be Your | |
W2:360.1 | Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am | |
W2:FL.5 | We will not end this year without the gift our | Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are |
W2:361.1 | And He will hear and answer me because He speaks for God, my | Father, and His holy Son. |

M:22.5 | He will, in fact, be unable to recognize his brother at all, for his | Father did not create bodies, and so he is seeing in his brother only |

M:23.3 | you are remembering God. The whole relationship of the Son to the | Father lies in him. His part in the Sonship is also yours, and his |

Tx:21.57 | mind where reason lies was dedicated by your will in union with your | Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:22.15 | home, for here you will with Him and with His Father. This is your | Father's Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ |
Tx:22.24 | before. Only if it were possible the Son of God could leave his | Father's Mind, make himself different, and oppose His Will, would it |
Tx:23.11 | to teach the Son of God that he is not himself and not his | Father's Son. For this, the memory of his Father must be forgotten. |
Tx:23.54 | Think what is given those who share their | Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They want for |
Tx:24.72 | outside yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests within, His | Father's Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their difference |
Tx:24.72 | all aspects with a different purpose. The Son of God retains His | Father's Will. The son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it |
Tx:25.8 | abides within your understanding in the part of you that shares His | Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad |
Tx:25.19 | see the savior from the dark and understand your brother as his | Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as |
Tx:25.20 | Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who will to make their | Father's happiness complete and theirs along with His. The gratitude |

Tx:25.53 | To justify one value that the world upholds is to deny your | Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved Son do not think |
Tx:25.53 | believe one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his | Father's Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from |
Tx:25.62 | Son of God. He cannot lose, for if he could, the loss would be his | Father's, and in Him no loss is possible. And this is sane because it |
Tx:26.8 | Could it be that you could make his sins reality and sacrifice his | Father's Will for him? |

Tx:26.28 | and none is cherished more than any other. Each reminds him of His | Father's love as surely as the rest. And each one teaches him that |
Tx:26.39 | God's Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored unto His | Father's perfect Love. And how can he be kept in chains long since |

Tx:28.66 | is it made a home of holiness a little while because it shares your | Father's Will with you. |
Tx:29.32 | and be glad. He is a part of you, and you of him because he is his | Father's Son and not for any purpose you may see in him. Nothing is |

Tx:9.105 | anything God did not create, or you are denying Him. His is the only | Fatherhood, and it is yours only because He has given it to you. Your |

Tx:10.9 | Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to accept His | Fatherhood has denied you yours. See His creations as His Son, for |
Tx:10.11 | to accept Him depends on your willingness to give as He gives. Your | fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to create, and your |
Tx:10.17 | Every miracle which you accomplish speaks to you of the | Fatherhood of God. Every healing thought which you accept, either |

Tx:2.95 | free to choose the other. By choosing the miracle, you have rejected | fear. You have been afraid of God, of me, of yourselves, and of |
Tx:2.96 | mind. This may well frighten you because it is the source of | fear. The unwatched mind is responsible for the whole content of the |
Tx:2.96 | contributes. This is the level at which he can readily introduce | fear and usually does. |
Tx:2.97 | in the real basic conflict are creation and miscreation. All | fear is implicit in the second, just as all love is inherent in the |
Tx:2.97 | of this difference, the basic conflict is one between love and | fear. |
Tx:2.98 | It has already been said that man believes he cannot control | fear because he himself created it. His belief in it seems to render |
Tx:2.98 | to resolve the basic conflict through the concept of mastery of | fear is meaningless. In fact it asserts the power of fear by the |
Tx:2.98 | of mastery of fear is meaningless. In fact it asserts the power of | fear by the simple assumption that it need be mastered. The essential |
Tx:2.99 | one is believed in, the other has been denied. In the conflict | fear is really nothing, and love is everything. This is because |
Tx:2.104 | We have already attempted to correct the fundamental error that | fear can be mastered and have emphasized that only love can be |
Tx:2.107 | is essential, however, that these individuals free themselves from | fear sooner than would ordinarily be the case because they must |
Tx:2.111 | No one who lives in | fear is really alive. His own last judgment cannot be directed toward |
Tx:2.111 | When everything he retains is loveable, there is no reason for | fear to remain with him. This is his part in the Atonement. |
Tx:3.2 | a solid foundation is necessary is because of the confusion between | fear and awe to which we have already referred and which so many |
Tx:3.3 | these steps without careful preparation or awe will be confused with | fear, and the experience will be more traumatic than beatific. |
Tx:3.11 | is another point which must be perfectly clear before any residual | fear which may still be associated with miracles becomes entirely |
Tx:3.21 | Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown to God. It arises solely from | fear. This is particularly unfortunate because frightened people are |
Tx:3.30 | is an attribute of the space-time belief and is therefore subject to | fear or love. Misperceptions produce fear, and true perceptions |
Tx:3.30 | and is therefore subject to fear or love. Misperceptions produce | fear, and true perceptions produce love. Neither produces certainty, |
Tx:3.33 | or stasis. It is usually an attempt to counteract an underlying | fear that the future will be worse than the present, and this fear |
Tx:3.33 | fear that the future will be worse than the present, and this | fear inhibits the tendency to question at all. |

Tx:3.70 | everyone must decide is the fundamental question of authorship. All | fear comes ultimately and sometimes by way of very devious routes |

Tx:3.76 | to create an image of itself. Its fear aspect is often ascribed to | fear of retaliation by a “father figure,” a particularly curious idea |
Tx:3.77 | inconceivable. That is why you cannot create and are filled with | fear about what you make. |
Tx:3.79 | you become so fearful. As you approach the beginning, you feel the | fear of the destruction of your thought system upon you, as if it |
Tx:3.79 | the destruction of your thought system upon you, as if it were the | fear of death. There is no death, but there is a belief in death. |
Tx:3.80 | system will stand corrected. It cannot stand otherwise. You who | fear salvation are willing death. Life and death, light and darkness, |
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 like yours, |
Tx:4.9 | remind you of your true creation, your egos cannot but respond with | fear. |
Tx:4.16 | God is not the author of | fear. You are. You have chosen, therefore, to create unlike Him, and |
Tx:4.16 | You have chosen, therefore, to create unlike Him, and you have made | fear for yourselves. You are not at peace because you are not |
Tx:4.17 | protection from the ego and become totally without the investment in | fear. Your investment is great now because fear is a witness to the |
Tx:4.17 | without the investment in fear. Your investment is great now because | fear is a witness to the separation, and your ego rejoices when you |
Tx:4.47 | call of the body. That is why the basic conflict between love and | fear is unconscious; the ego cannot tolerate either and represses |
Tx:4.70 | 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 does |
Tx:4.70 | of God is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the ego. | Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some sense in |
Tx:4.70 | from the Higher Source, then, makes some sense in ego-terms. But | fear of the body, with which the ego identifies so closely, is more |
Tx:4.82 | are the same, the ego decides that, since “all” is impossible, the | fear does not lie there. “A little,” however, is a scarcity concept, |
Tx:4.104 | The ego is likely to | fear broken bodies because it cannot tolerate them. The ego cannot |
Tx:5.2 | whole-heartedly. To be whole-hearted, you must be happy. If | fear and love cannot coexist and if it is impossible to be wholly |
Tx:5.35 | an ego-alien journey with the ego as guide. This is bound to produce | fear. |
Tx:5.45 | Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. What | fear has hidden still is part of you. |
Tx:5.46 | which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a way out of | fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to acknowledge |
Tx:5.59 | ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is | fear because only the fearful can be egotistic. The ego's logic is as |
Tx:5.60 | it is whole. Guilt is always disruptive. Anything that engenders | fear is divisive because it obeys the law of division. If the ego is |
Tx:5.61 | you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt and you will | fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful thought. |
Tx:5.62 | that a part of Him has been torn away by you. The classic picture of | fear of retaliation from without then follows because the severity of |
Tx:5.77 | thought and thus release their thoughts from the ability to produce | fear anywhere in the Sonship. “The wicked shall perish” is merely a |
Tx:5.78 | unsharing, it will be reinterpreted entirely to release you from | fear. The part of your thought which you have given to the ego will |
Tx:5.83 | understanding because he was afraid and, as you know all too well, | fear is incompatible with good judgment. Fear distorts thinking and |
Tx:5.83 | as you know all too well, fear is incompatible with good judgment. | Fear distorts thinking and therefore disorders thought. |
Tx:5.87 | of, he was too honest to deny more than was necessary to keep his | fear in tolerable bounds as he perceived the situation. Therefore, he |
Tx:6.1 | to attack is obvious, but the inevitable association of anger and | fear is not always so clear. Anger always involves projection of |
Tx:6.4 | positive interpretation of the crucifixion which is wholly devoid of | fear and therefore wholly benign in what it teaches if it is properly |
Tx:6.5 | that the Sonship need take and that it should mean release from | fear to anyone who understands it. While we emphasized only the |
Tx:6.5 | to make to your own lives, and if you will consider it without | fear, it will help you understand your own role as teachers. |
Tx:6.6 | Projection means anger, anger fosters assault, and assault promotes | fear. The real meaning of the crucifixion lies in the apparent |
Tx:6.19 | love made them vulnerable to projection, and out of their own | fear they spoke of the “wrath of God” as His retaliatory weapon. Nor |
Tx:6.22 | time. 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. |
Tx:6.24 | You cannot love what you do not appreciate, and | fear makes appreciation impossible. Whenever you are afraid of what |
Tx:6.48 | you will be afraid, because you are siding with an alliance of | fear. |
Tx:6.65 | communicating is sharing, it becomes communion. You might argue that | fear as well as love can be communicated and therefore can be shared. |
Tx:6.65 | shared. Yet this is not so real as it sounds. Those who communicate | fear are promoting attack, and attack always breaks communication, |
Tx:6.70 | All the separated ones have a basic | fear of retaliation and abandonment. This is because they believe in |
Tx:7.38 | Holy Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge | fear. Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the |
Tx:7.45 | Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is | fear does the idea of exceptions seem to be meaningful. Exceptions |
Tx:7.45 | to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful, because they are made by | fear. The “fearful healer” is a contradiction in terms and is |
Tx:7.45 | which only a conflicted mind could possibly perceive as meaningful. | Fear does not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. |
Tx:7.45 | perceive as meaningful. Fear does not gladden. Healing does. | Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does. Fear produces |
Tx:7.45 | Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never does. | Fear produces dissociation, because it induces separation. Healing |
Tx:7.49 | shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship out of | fear but which you will never love. The other shows you only truth, |
Tx:7.54 | If it is not relinquished entirely, it is not relinquished at all. | Fear and love are equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending |
Tx:7.58 | Mind always reproduces as it was produced. Produced by | fear, the ego reproduces fear. This is its allegiance, and this |
Tx:7.58 | reproduces as it was produced. Produced by fear, the ego reproduces | fear. This is its allegiance, and this allegiance makes it |
Tx:7.104 | to follow false guidance. Unable to follow this guidance without | fear, he associates fear with guidance and refuses to follow any |
Tx:7.104 | guidance. Unable to follow this guidance without fear, he associates | fear with guidance and refuses to follow any guidance at all. [If the |
Tx:7.109 | peace and shine love upon him? Does it keep his heart untouched by | fear and allow him to give always without any sense of loss? Does it |
Tx:8.26 | everything. It is therefore an illusion of isolation, maintained by | fear of the same loneliness which is its illusion. I have told you |
Tx:8.40 | Ours is simply the journey back to God, Who is our home. Whenever | fear intrudes anywhere along the road to peace, it is always because |
Tx:8.82 | forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical expressions of the | fear of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness out |
Tx:8.82 | of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness out of | fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic way of trying not to know |
Tx:8.84 | Healing is release from the | fear of waking and the substitution of the will to wake. The will to |
Tx:8.84 | to wake is the will to love, since all healing involves replacing | fear with love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of |
Tx:8.86 | followers and also its translators to be entirely literal about | fear and its effects but not about love and its results. Thus, |
Tx:8.90 | Fear of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the | |
Tx:8.90 | ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the | fear of God is really only the fear of your own reality. |
Tx:8.90 | is against you. What seems to be the fear of God is really only the | fear of your own reality. |
Tx:8.92 | The association of truth and | fear, which would be highly artificial at most, is particularly |
Tx:8.94 | The only source of | fear in this whole process can only be what you think you lose. Yet |
Tx:8.97 | and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him. Both really | fear abandonment and retaliation, but the atheist is more reactive |
Tx:8.99 | are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In the security of reality, | fear is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only seem to be |
Tx:8.99 | is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only seem to be fearful. | Fear cannot be real without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God |
Tx:8.101 | The energy which you withdraw from creation you expend on | fear. This is not because your energy is limited but because you have |
Tx:8.104 | make the unreal, because the absence of reality is fearful, and | fear cannot be created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, |
Tx:8.104 | is fearful, and fear cannot be created. As long as you believe that | fear is possible, you will not create. Opposing orders of reality |
Tx:8.107 | does state, and repeatedly, that its purpose is the escape from | fear. |
Tx:8.108 | expression. In this case he is not really asking for release from | fear but for the removal of a symptom which he has selected. This |
Tx:8.109 | given by the Holy Spirit will ever be one which would increase | fear. It is possible that His answer will not be heard at all. It is |
Tx:9.13 | which are eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of me does not use | fear to undo fear. Nor does it make real the unreal and then destroy |
Tx:9.13 | eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of me does not use fear to undo | fear. Nor does it make real the unreal and then destroy it. |
Tx:9.17 | literally lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do not | fear the Last Judgment, but welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's |
Tx:9.22 | condemnation onto God, they make Him appear retaliative and | fear His retribution. What they have done is merely to identify with |
Tx:9.24 | usually does note, even in its confusion. If the way to counteract | fear is to reduce the importance of the fearer, how can this build |
Tx:9.69 | give up the dissociation of reality brings more than merely lack of | fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. |
Tx:9.83 | is not due to illusions, for to honor them is to honor nothing. Yet | fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have |
Tx:9.83 | due them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to | fear love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this |
Tx:9.83 | fear love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this | fear, you have been willing to give up your own perfect helpfulness |
Tx:10.14 | it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your whole | fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because this is |
Tx:10.14 | whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and | fear arises here because this is the belief that makes you want not |
Tx:10.26 | of which God knows nothing. That way is hard indeed and very lonely. | Fear and grief are your guests, and they go with you and abide with |
Tx:10.40 | afraid, therefore, for what you will be looking at is the source of | fear, but you have surely learned by now that fear is not real. We |
Tx:10.40 | at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned by now that | fear is not real. We have accepted the fact already that its effects |
Tx:10.41 | Do not be afraid, then, to look upon | fear, for it cannot be seen. Clarity undoes confusion by definition, |
Tx:10.43 | but delusions. We can surely regard a delusional system without | fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true. Fear |
Tx:10.43 | fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true. | Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's |
Tx:10.47 | realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the ego gives rise to | fear, it is diminishing your independence and weakening your power. |
Tx:10.48 | uninvolved, and even desperate, but not really afraid. Minimizing | fear but not its undoing is the ego's constant effort and is indeed |
Tx:10.48 | ingenious. How can it preach separation without upholding it through | fear, and would you listen to it if you recognized this is what it is |
Tx:10.49 | Your recognition that whatever seems to separate you from God is only | fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite apart from how the |
Tx:10.49 | a false idea of independence, you will not accept the cost of | fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the cost, and the ego cannot |
Tx:10.49 | For if you overlook love, you are overlooking yourself, and you must | fear unreality because you have denied yourself. By believing that |
Tx:10.50 | could be defeated, and this is impossible. Only by learning what | fear is, can you finally learn to distinguish the possible from the |
Tx:10.51 | which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only] brought you | fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear is happiness. |
Tx:10.51 | [only] brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that | fear is happiness. |
Tx:10.52 | Upheld by | fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is |
Tx:10.52 | it, and he will not accept it. For only the insane would choose | fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that love |
Tx:10.52 | gained by attack. But the sane know that only attack could produce | fear from which the love of God completely protects them. |
Tx:10.80 | the one is many. Realize that you are afraid of His specificity for | fear of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will |
Tx:10.83 | Blessed are you who will ask the truth of God without | fear, for only thus can you learn that His answer is the release from |
Tx:10.83 | for only thus can you learn that His answer is the release from | fear. Beautiful Child of God, you are asking only for what I promised |
Tx:10.88 | willing to let their interpretations go in favor of reality, their | fear goes with them. When a child is helped to translate his “ghost” |
Tx:10.88 | into a dream, he is no longer afraid and laughs happily at his own | fear. You, my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your |
Tx:10.89 | you too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For | fear lies not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not |
Tx:11.9 | that His criteria are equally applicable to you. For to recognize | fear is not enough to escape from it, although the recognition is |
Tx:11.9 | Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with the | fear, having recognized it, you would have taken a step away from |
Tx:11.9 | towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the need to recognize | fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of |
Tx:11.10 | regard everything else as an appeal for help, He has taught you that | fear is an appeal for help. This is what recognizing it really means. |
Tx:11.10 | to perceive attack as a call for love. We have learned surely that | fear and attack are inevitably associated. If only attack produces |
Tx:11.10 | fear and attack are inevitably associated. If only attack produces | fear and if you see attack as the call for help that it is, the |
Tx:11.10 | if you see attack as the call for help that it is, the unreality of | fear must dawn upon you. For fear is a call for love in unconscious |
Tx:11.10 | for help that it is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you. For | fear is a call for love in unconscious recognition of what has been |
Tx:11.11 | Fear is a symptom of your deep sense of loss. If when you perceive it | |
Tx:11.11 | it in others you learn to supply the loss, the basic cause of | fear is removed. Thereby you teach yourself that fear does not exist |
Tx:11.11 | the basic cause of fear is removed. Thereby you teach yourself that | fear does not exist in you, for you have in yourself the means for |
Tx:11.11 | the means for removing it and have demonstrated this by giving it. | Fear and love are the only emotions of which you are capable. One is |
Tx:11.12 | By interpreting | fear correctly as a positive affirmation of the underlying belief it |
Tx:11.12 | do not work at all are automatically discarded. If you raise what | fear conceals to clear-cut, unequivocal predominance, fear becomes |
Tx:11.12 | you raise what fear conceals to clear-cut, unequivocal predominance, | fear becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal love, |
Tx:11.13 | the appeal for it by giving it? The Holy Spirit's interpretation of | fear does dispel it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. |
Tx:11.13 | of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace | fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus will you |
Tx:11.21 | There is no | fear in perfect love. We will but be making perfect to you what is |
Tx:11.21 | be making perfect to you what is already perfect in you. You do not | fear the unknown, but the known. You will not fail in your mission |
Tx:11.22 | to banish love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish | fear will succeed. The Lord is with you, but you know it not. Yet |
Tx:11.22 | Would you not exchange this awareness for the awareness of your | fear? When we have overcome fear—not by hiding it, not by |
Tx:11.22 | this awareness for the awareness of your fear? When we have overcome | fear—not by hiding it, not by minimizing it, not by denying its |
Tx:11.23 | the world as you perceive it than for looking at the cause of | fear and letting it go forever? |
Tx:11.78 | as his Father, for the Son knows his Father's protection and cannot | fear. His Father's love holds him in perfect peace, and needing |
Tx:12.6 | fully justifies murder. You do not yet understand that all your | fear of this course stems ultimately from this interpretation, but if |
Tx:12.8 | believe it will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your | fear. For you believe that in the presence of truth you will turn on |
Tx:12.9 | lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of love without | fear. There will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the |
Tx:12.10 | you do not yet realize. We have said that no one will countenance | fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your disordered state, you are not |
Tx:12.10 | recognizes it. Yet in your disordered state, you are not afraid of | fear. You do not like it, but it is not your desire to attack which |
Tx:12.11 | You could look even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without | fear if you did not believe that, without the ego, you would find |
Tx:12.11 | that, without the ego, you would find within yourself something you | fear even more. You are not afraid of crucifixion. Your real terror |
Tx:12.12 | Your | fear of attack is nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be |
Tx:12.12 | Your fear of attack is nothing compared to your | fear of love. You would be willing to look even upon your savage wish |
Tx:12.17 | and search your minds carefully for any thoughts which you may | fear to uncover. For He will heal every little thought which you have |
Tx:12.19 | you will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as | fear, for love cannot enter where there is one spot of fear to mar |
Tx:12.19 | complete as fear, for love cannot enter where there is one spot of | fear to mar its welcome. |
Tx:12.20 | his Father. He feared what he had made, but still more did he | fear his real Father, having attacked his own glorious equality with |
Tx:12.33 | We have said that you have but two emotions, love and | fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged, being offered by |
Tx:12.37 | what he loves and recoils from what he fears. And you react with | fear to love and draw away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and |
Tx:12.37 | he fears. And you react with fear to love and draw away from it. Yet | fear attracts you, and believing it is love, you call it to yourself. |
Tx:12.37 | it to yourself. Your private world is filled with the figures of | fear you have invited into it, and all the love your brothers offer |
Tx:12.42 | vision of Christ, Who looks on all in light. Your vision comes from | fear, as His from love. And He sees for you as your witness to the |
Tx:13.17 | of what you would see there, but it is not there. The thing you | fear is gone. If you would look within, you would see only the |
Tx:13.27 | insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you will not | fear to look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly. |
Tx:13.28 | peace within you is the perfect purity in which you were created. | Fear not to look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through the cloud |
Tx:13.29 | has always loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no | fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your |
Tx:13.29 | love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father can have no | fear for any reason to look within and see your holiness. You cannot |
Tx:13.33 | I give my Father. My trust in you is without limit and without the | fear that you will hear me not. I thank the Father for your |
Tx:13.40 | to help you realize that this is what you want, and only this. | Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him |
Tx:13.67 | I will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to | fear. I choose to testify to my acceptance of the Atonement, not for |
Tx:13.70 | to heal is another opportunity to replace darkness with light and | fear with love. If he refuses it, he binds himself to darkness |
Tx:13.79 | 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 would lead you |
Tx:14.10 | to Heaven and to the peace of God. There is no pain, no trial, no | fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of God |
Tx:14.14 | only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would release from | fear and reestablish the reign of love. The power of love is in His |
Tx:14.18 | As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look to them only for | fear, for what they keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and |
Tx:14.25 | it becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with | fear. Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your |
Tx:14.25 | you hid it and surrounded it with fear. Under each cornerstone of | fear on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the |
Tx:14.25 | truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in | fear, you see no reason to believe the more you look at fear, the |
Tx:14.25 | truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you look at | fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals becomes. |
Tx:14.27 | and equal in their reality. Their joining thus becomes the source of | fear, for if they meet, acceptance must be withdrawn from one of them. |
Tx:14.28 | Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack | fear. What needs no protection does not defend itself. Defense is of |
Tx:14.41 | and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. There, | fear of death will be replaced with joy of living. For God is Life, |
Tx:14.63 | to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are wholly free of | fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you |
Tx:14.69 | solve by offering you a miracle. Miracles are for you. And every | fear or pain or trial you have has been undone. He has brought all of |
Tx:15.4 | it unsatisfied. No one who follows the ego's teaching is without the | fear of death. Yet if death were thought of merely as an end to pain, |
Tx:15.4 | before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep | fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it must engender fear in |
Tx:15.4 | to keep fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it must engender | fear in order to maintain itself. |
Tx:15.7 | 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, but always as a |

Tx:15.8 | 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 teaching, |
Tx:15.9 | The Holy Spirit would undo all of this now. | Fear is not of the present but only of the past and future, which do |
Tx:15.9 | but only of the past and future, which do not exist. There is no | fear in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from |

Tx:15.48 | Because of guilt, all special relationships have some elements of | fear in them. And this is why they shift and change so frequently. |
Tx:15.48 | They are not based on changeless love alone. And love where | fear has entered cannot be depended on because it is not perfect. In |
Tx:15.49 | them may be, He can translate them into holiness by removing as much | fear as you will let Him. You can place any relationship under His |

Tx:15.62 | gives you this faith because He offered it to me and I accepted it. | Fear not the holy instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. |
Tx:15.73 | as the price of union. In their angry alliances, born of the | fear of loneliness and yet dedicated to the continuance of |
Tx:15.75 | your own need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot teach through | fear. And how can He communicate with you while you believe that to |
Tx:15.77 | so holy and so strong that it can overcome even this without | fear. It is through the holy instant that what seems impossible is |
Tx:15.79 | His concern and care for you are limitless. In the face of your | fear of forgiveness, which He perceives as clearly as He knows |
Tx:15.81 | of your completion and seek not to restore it to yourselves. | Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's love. He will not |
Tx:15.95 | many forms, it is always the same idea. What is not love is always | fear and nothing else. It is not necessary to follow fear through all |
Tx:15.95 | love is always fear and nothing else. It is not necessary to follow | fear through all the circuitous routes by which it burrows |
Tx:15.96 | is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one idea, your | fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of |
Tx:15.98 | love demands sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from attack and | fear. And that guilt is the price of love, which must be paid by |
Tx:15.98 | and fear. And that guilt is the price of love, which must be paid by | fear. How fearful, then, has God become to you, and how great a |
Tx:15.101 | Fear not to recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your | |
Tx:15.102 | the Presence of Holiness creates the holiness which surrounds it. No | fear can touch the host who cradles God in the time of Christ, for |
Tx:15.104 | you excluded from yourself seems fearful, for you endowed it with | fear and tried to cast it out though it was part of you. Who can |
Tx:16.16 | with Him is real and has been demonstrated. Regard this not with | fear but with rejoicing. The One you called upon is with you. Bid Him |
Tx:16.16 | who bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is true, just as you | fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that you think you know. |
Tx:16.29 | than you think, and your foot is planted firmly on it. Have no | fear that the attraction of those who stand on the other side and |
Tx:16.33 | which it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they find the | fear of death is still upon them, the love relationship loses the |

Tx:16.38 | only to be wholly like unto Him, completing Him by your completion. | Fear not to cross to the abode of peace and perfect holiness. Only |
Tx:16.40 | Would you not go through | fear to love? For such the journey seems to be. Love calls, but hate |
Tx:16.40 | For love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without | fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten |
Tx:16.50 | it offered him to interfere with Heaven. Yet if all illusions are of | fear, and they can be of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is |
Tx:16.50 | the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an “attractive” form of | fear in which the guilt is buried deep and rises in the form of |
Tx:16.64 | in which a sense of actual disorientation seems to occur. But | fear it not, for it means nothing more than that you have been |
Tx:16.65 | Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. | |
Tx:17.25 | or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and | fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For |

Tx:18.3 | involves substitution by definition, for it is love's replacement. | Fear is both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take |
Tx:18.3 | or rejection of suitability for acting out a special form of | fear. |
Tx:18.4 | You who believe that God is | fear made but one substitution. It has taken many forms because it |
Tx:18.6 | of the original error rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not | fear, but love,” and it will disappear. |
Tx:18.17 | seems to be. And yet the dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and | fear pervade it, and in an instant, the illusion of satisfaction is |
Tx:18.20 | the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of | fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does |
Tx:18.25 | from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of | fear and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance because your |
Tx:18.25 | terror. But you will advance because your goal is the advance from | fear to truth. You know this. The goal which you accepted is the goal |
Tx:18.25 | is the goal of knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. | Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have |
Tx:18.26 | If you knew Who walks beside you on this way which you have chosen, | fear would be impossible. You do not know because the journey into |
Tx:18.26 | which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the illusion, your | fear increases, for there is little doubt that what you think it |
Tx:18.26 | Yet what is that to us who travel surely and very swiftly away from | fear? |
Tx:18.27 | to leave with me? In your relationship is this world's light. And | fear must disappear before you now. Be tempted not to snatch away the |
Tx:18.30 | in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the | fear that you experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to |
Tx:18.30 | together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past | fear, for no two minds can join in the desire for love without love's |
Tx:18.38 | to bring Atonement to it and make salvation fearful. And it is only | fear that you will add if you prepare yourself for love. The |
Tx:18.41 | For they are all but aspects of the plan to change your dreams of | fear to happy dreams from which you waken easily to knowledge. Put |
Tx:18.42 | Never approach the holy instant after you have tried to remove all | fear and hatred from your mind. That is its function. Never attempt |
Tx:18.42 | part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all | fear and hatred and to be forgiven. On your little faith, joined with |
Tx:18.45 | He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe that love is | fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the function that He gave to |
Tx:18.46 | instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of | fear to let Him exchange this instant for the holy one which you |
Tx:18.46 | the fact that it is now impossible for either of you to experience | fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never believe that |
Tx:18.59 | you have given up the illusion of a limited awareness and lost your | fear of union. The love that instantly replaces it extends to what |
Tx:18.59 | of your Identity and would not limit it. You have escaped from | fear to peace, asking no questions of reality but merely accepting |
Tx:18.87 | You are severely tempted to abandon Him at the outside ring of | fear, but He would lead you safely through and far beyond. |
Tx:18.88 | The circle of | fear lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the |
Tx:19.11 | Faith is the opposite of | fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the |
Tx:19.11 | Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as | fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the |
Tx:19.25 | in sin, not error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. | Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but |
Tx:19.25 | an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp it out through | fear. |
Tx:19.26 | The ego does not think it possible that love, not | fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego |
Tx:19.26 | called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego brings sin to | fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but another form of |
Tx:19.30 | change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the | fear of changed perception which its teacher, who is one with it, |
Tx:19.43 | have you become. Peace could no more depart from you than from God. | Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God. |
Tx:19.49 | The attraction of guilt produces | fear of love, for love would never look on guilt at all. It is the |
Tx:19.49 | it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look past | fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt |
Tx:19.49 | in holy union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must | fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt as surely as |
Tx:19.49 | fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt as surely as | fear depends on it. [Love is attracted only to love.] Overlooking |
Tx:19.49 | is attracted only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no | fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is |
Tx:19.49 | sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. | Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each believes that what |
Tx:19.49 | and each believes that what the other looks upon does not exist. | Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love looks on |
Tx:19.50 | and return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers of | fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt and cherish every scrap of |
Tx:19.50 | asking for messages of different things in different languages. What | fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot |
Tx:19.50 | different languages. What fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What | fear demands, love cannot even see. |
Tx:19.51 | The fierce attraction which guilt holds for | fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would |
Tx:19.51 | gentle perception. What love would look upon is meaningless to | fear and quite invisible. Relationships in this world are the result |
Tx:19.51 | and they tremble when their master calls upon them to serve him. For | fear is merciless even to its friends. Its messengers steal guiltily |
Tx:19.52 | their savage pangs of hunger. For they are frantic with the pain of | fear and would avert the punishment of him who sends them forth by |
Tx:19.53 | you love's messengers to send instead of those you trained through | fear. They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear as are |
Tx:19.54 | Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see | fear no more. The world will be transformed before your sight, |
Tx:19.54 | of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The world contains no | fear which you laid not upon it. And none you cannot ask love's |
Tx:19.54 | what love sees. They have been given to replace the hungry dogs of | fear you sent instead. And they go forth to signify the end of fear. |
Tx:19.54 | of fear you sent instead. And they go forth to signify the end of | fear. |
Tx:19.61 | of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is | fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the body, |
Tx:19.62 | It is only the messengers of | fear that see the body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a |
Tx:19.62 | pleasure; it has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it bring you | fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and |
Tx:19.63 | will and its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of | fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your |
Tx:19.71 | with the body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites | fear to enter and become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must |
Tx:19.71 | purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever | fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the |
Tx:19.77 | across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the | fear of death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and |
Tx:19.84 | Those who | fear death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid |
Tx:19.86 | The | fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real |
Tx:19.87 | can assail the wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What | fear can enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been |
Tx:19.88 | When anything seems to you to be a source of | fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your body |
Tx:19.88 | you with terror and makes your body tremble and the cold sweat of | fear comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the ego |
Tx:19.88 | is always for one reason—the ego has perceived it as a symbol of | fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember then that neither sign nor |
Tx:19.90 | What would you see without the | fear of death? What would you feel and think if death held no |
Tx:19.91 | as streams of blood, fades in the blazing light beyond it when the | fear of death is gone. |
Tx:19.92 | God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the | fear of God, the final step in your dissociation. |
Tx:19.93 | in death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you | fear but life? It is the attraction of death that makes life seem to |
Tx:19.93 | in your secret alliance with them, you have agreed never to let the | fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and |
Tx:19.94 | that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same way; the | fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the fear is |
Tx:19.94 | way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the | fear is gone. And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace |
Tx:19.94 | by the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting | fear seemed to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice |
Tx:19.95 | delicate appeal of guilt, the “holy” waxen image of death, and the | fear of vengeance of the ego you swore in blood not to desert, all |
Tx:19.96 | this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of | fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your |
Tx:19.97 | you raise your eyes, you will be ready to look on terror with no | fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and look upon each other in |
Tx:19.98 | No one can look upon the | fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and |
Tx:19.100 | To look upon the | fear of God does need some preparation. Only the sane can look on |
Tx:19.100 | insanity and raving madness with pity and compassion but not with | fear. For only if they share in it does it seem fearful, and you do |
Tx:19.100 | you still stand unforgiving. You are afraid of God because you | fear each other. Those you do not forgive you fear. And no one |
Tx:19.100 | of God because you fear each other. Those you do not forgive you | fear. And no one reaches love with fear beside him. |
Tx:19.100 | Those you do not forgive you fear. And no one reaches love with | fear beside him. |
Tx:19.101 | it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to | fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will |
Tx:20.2 | not the crown of thorns; the gift of love and not the “gift” of | fear. You stand beside each other, thorns in one hand and lilies in |
Tx:20.11 | you to see no thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to peace. The | fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon |
Tx:20.12 | and freed from all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no | fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God |
Tx:20.12 | of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not in | fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision |
Tx:20.12 | up our eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no | fear in us, for in our vision will be no illusions—only a pathway |
Tx:20.13 | looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of | fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that leads us is within |
Tx:20.14 | untouched by guilt and perfectly protected from the cold chill of | fear and withering blight of sin alike. Your gift has saved him from |
Tx:20.15 | the hands that gave it to each other shall both of you be led past | fear to love. |
Tx:20.19 | how you see yourself. A murderer is frightened, and those who kill | fear death. All these are but the fearful thoughts of those who would |
Tx:20.26 | is Heaven but union, direct and perfect, and without the veil of | fear upon it? Here are we one, looking with perfect gentleness upon |
Tx:20.27 | then, this faith with me and know that it is justified. There is no | fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must look on |
Tx:20.27 | on others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it | fear without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God |
Tx:20.27 | promise of your immortality. See him as sinless, and there can be no | fear in you. |
Tx:20.33 | which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without | fear, and where he rests a while to forget imprisonment and to |
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. Two voices raised |
Tx:20.39 | is inestimable clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you recognize the | fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so |
Tx:20.45 | made is partial, self-centered, broken into fragments, and full of | fear. The one created by his Father is wholly self-encompassing and |
Tx:20.50 | here kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not realize is what you | fear within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God |
Tx:20.51 | and overlook the body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in | fear, feeling the seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to |
Tx:20.51 | to shake and loosen. Brothers, you tremble with them. Yet what you | fear is but the herald of escape. This place of darkness is not your |
Tx:20.57 | like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you | fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God |
Tx:20.57 | Perhaps you fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the | fear of God remains with you. Yet what is that to those who have been |
Tx:20.66 | And as you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from | fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For |
Tx:21.35 | and whom you try to limit to the body you hate because you | fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you would condemn him to the |
Tx:21.35 | holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by removing | fear, not as a symptom, but at its source. |
Tx:21.36 | Those who would free their brothers from the body can have no | fear. They have renounced the means for sin by choosing to let all |
Tx:21.41 | the sin you think is there. This you would not be fearful to admit. | Fear in association with sin the ego deems quite appropriate and |
Tx:21.41 | the ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no | fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your belief and faith in |
Tx:21.41 | that it be there to see. This merely seems to be the source of | fear. |
Tx:21.42 | 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 claims it is— |
Tx:21.42 | frantic proclamation, the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your | fear to look within because of sin is yet another fear and one which |
Tx:21.42 | so. Beneath your fear to look within because of sin is yet another | fear and one which makes the ego tremble. |
Tx:21.66 | are joined is your salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of | fear. Does Heaven seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And |
Tx:22.5 | uneasiness, your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting | fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise? It is as though you |
Tx:22.8 | that need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your | fear of sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt |
Tx:22.8 | sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt is only | fear. Here is the one emotion that you made, whatever it may seem to |
Tx:22.14 | that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that | fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where fear is powerless, |
Tx:22.14 | is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where | fear is powerless, love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one |
Tx:22.18 | sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really | fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal cannot change. But |
Tx:22.25 | but look on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with | fear. Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would |
Tx:22.46 | you from the truth? And what would you be saved from but what you | fear? Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All |
Tx:22.48 | How weak is | fear—how little and how meaningless! How insignificant before the |
Tx:22.55 | you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no | fear because they carry only love with them. |
Tx:22.60 | about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the | fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this |
Tx:22.61 | are separate. And you must think that they are separate because of | fear. For it seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack |
Tx:22.64 | him. What can this mean except your minds are one? Look not with | fear upon this happy fact and think not that it lays a heavy burden |
Tx:22.65 | And in Him is all creation joined. Would you regret you cannot | fear alone when your relationship can also teach the power of love is |
Tx:22.65 | can also teach the power of love is there, which makes all | fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this |
Tx:23.1 | is strength, and nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot | fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The show of strength attack |
Tx:23.2 | think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you will | fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you |
Tx:23.2 | love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from | fear. And he will see only the sinless, who can not attack. |
Tx:23.3 | Walk you in glory with your head held high, and | fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their |
Tx:23.3 | harmful now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and | fear, and happily returned to love. They share the strength of love |
Tx:23.8 | with this belief, but never will it be more than madness. And | fear will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced love there. |
Tx:23.14 | with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of | fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality through battle. |
Tx:23.18 | looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in which | fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state |
Tx:23.23 | not to join. One becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And | fear of God and of each other now appears as sensible, made real by |
Tx:23.25 | See how the | fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it becomes |
Tx:23.33 | perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as sanity. And | fear, with ashen lips and sightless eyes, blinded and terrible to |
Tx:23.33 | its substitute, the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of | fear make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, |
Tx:23.33 | thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for | fear and death! |
Tx:23.38 | witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions will bring | fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And |
Tx:23.41 | what form of murder serves to cover the massive guilt and frantic | fear of punishment the murderer must feel? He may deny he is a |
Tx:23.46 | in cowering hope because the guns are stilled an instant and the | fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it will not |
Tx:23.47 | The | fear of God is fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only |
Tx:23.47 | The fear of God is | fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only place of |
Tx:23.47 | the form it takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you | fear and not the form. What is not love is murder. What is not loving |
Tx:24.10 | The | fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized belief in |
Tx:24.20 | —too far to falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the | fear of God will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and |
Tx:24.21 | not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you | fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, |
Tx:24.45 | and blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the | fear you thought you saw within yourself. His holiness shows you |
Tx:24.49 | in the darkness of the night. He is your savior from the dreams of | fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what |
Tx:24.49 | the dreams of fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and | fear that what you have will scatter with the wind and turn to dust. |
Tx:24.54 | that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as well. And let the | fear of God no longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you. |
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 of satisfaction there. |
Tx:25.13 | world you see? In no respect at any time or place has anything but | fear and guilt been your reward. How long is needed for you to |
Tx:25.43 | of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the world to | fear, and no one who is different from himself. And as he loves them, |
Tx:25.68 | vengeance that their own belief in justice must entail. And so they | fear the Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They |
Tx:25.68 | is hell and are afraid of love. And deep suspicion and the chill of | fear comes over them when they are told that they have never sinned. |
Tx:25.77 | what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and never | fear that you in your unfairness will deprive yourself of what God's |
Tx:25.79 | are willing it be given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not | fear. Nothing you give is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and |
Tx:26.27 | face of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could | fear love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for |
Tx:26.58 | he has sought to find. And he could only be afraid of it. Is | fear a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake |
Tx:26.70 | you. In this form is the error still obscured that is the source of | fear. Salvation would wipe out the space you see between you still |
Tx:26.70 | you still and let you instantly become as one. And it is here you | fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to time, for time |
Tx:26.70 | one. And it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this | fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as |
Tx:26.71 | it be overlooked except within the present. Future loss is not your | fear. But present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation |
Tx:26.71 | cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be that if you | fear, there is a present cause. And it is this that needs correction, |
Tx:26.72 | yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a cause? And who could | fear effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged |
Tx:26.72 | had been caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses | fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, looking back but |
Tx:26.72 | in present grace, within the only interval of time which sin and | fear have overlooked but which is all there is to time. The working |
Tx:26.73 | They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in time and | fear they may not come, although already there? You have been told |
Tx:27.1 | unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you will | fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place no terror symbols |
Tx:27.6 | attack can ever touch him with the poisoned and relentless sting of | fear. Attest his innocence and not his guilt. Your healing is his |
Tx:27.10 | life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart from all experience of | fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being |
Tx:27.33 | Yet in the learning interval it has a use which now you | fear, but yet will love. |
Tx:27.35 | Its own. There is no choice of function anywhere. The choice you | fear to lose you never had. Yet only this appears to interfere with |
Tx:27.45 | you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack of | fear. The fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does not mean |
Tx:27.47 | the dying bring reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to | fear?” Consider well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. |
Tx:27.51 | with laws which have been properly perceived but never violated. | Fear you not the way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there |
Tx:27.58 | brings the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of | fear. As fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness |
Tx:27.58 | the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As | fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto life. |
Tx:27.72 | little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of | fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the instant of |
Tx:27.73 | waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal | fear unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking and allowed his |
Tx:27.73 | preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to | fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him. [A gentler dream, |
Tx:27.73 | he waken gently and with joy. And gave him means to waken without | fear. Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult |
Tx:27.74 | dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in | fear of death. He brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not |
Tx:27.82 | cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for | fear. Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who |
Tx:28.10 | against His Will. What your remembering would witness to is but the | fear of God. He has not done the thing you fear. No more have you. |
Tx:28.10 | witness to is but the fear of God. He has not done the thing you | fear. No more have you. And so your innocence has not been lost. You |
Tx:28.13 | How instantly the memory of God arises in the mind that has no | fear to keep the memory away. Its own remembering has gone. There is |
Tx:28.13 | the stillness, yet disturb it not. And what is now remembered is not | fear, but rather is the cause that fear was made to render |
Tx:28.13 | And what is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the cause that | fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The stillness speaks |
Tx:28.14 | past or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, beyond | fear, and past the world of sin entirely. |
Tx:28.15 | bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no | fear that He will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded |
Tx:28.22 | No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them up. The | fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of |
Tx:28.22 | offered him to show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he | fear his own attack but sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is |
Tx:28.24 | the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call to | fear. |
Tx:28.26 | The miracle returns the cause of | fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, |
Tx:28.28 | the dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of | fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream |
Tx:28.31 | The end of dreaming is the end of | fear, and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is little. |
Tx:28.37 | of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in dreams of | fear. |
Tx:28.38 | mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It is the dream you | fear and not the mind. You see them as the same because you think |
Tx:28.40 | him, merely by your claim on brotherhood and not on dreams of | fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his illusions |
Tx:28.40 | be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of | fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you |
Tx:28.47 | from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to dreams of | fear. Who shares in them can never share in Him. But who withdraws |
Tx:28.48 | makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as meaningless. The | fear is gone from them because you did not give them your support. |
Tx:28.48 | is gone from them because you did not give them your support. Where | fear has gone, there love must come because there are but these |
Tx:28.53 | of sin that you will see within yourself when you have lost the | fear of recognizing love. |
Tx:28.56 | The thing you hate and | fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it forth |
Tx:28.65 | the sense in seeking to be safe in what was made for danger and for | fear? Why burden it with further locks and chains and heavy anchors |
Tx:29.2 | Here is the | fear of God most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who |
Tx:29.2 | fear of God most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who | fear, since fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is |
Tx:29.2 | most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who fear, since | fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of |
Tx:29.3 | The | fear of God! The greatest obstacle that peace must flow across has |
Tx:29.6 | take command of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into | fear. It will be sick because you do not know what loving means. And |
Tx:29.7 | It is not love that asks a sacrifice. But | fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's presence fear |
Tx:29.7 | But fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's presence | fear cannot abide. For hate to be maintained love must be feared and |
Tx:29.8 | variable goals you hold and force the body to maintain. You do not | fear its weakness, but its lack of strength or weakness. Would you |
Tx:29.8 | that the body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming | fear around the happy message, “God is love.” |
Tx:29.9 | peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the | fear of God, what could induce you to abandon Him? What toys or |
Tx:29.12 | sin and pain. For pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and | fear, attack and guilt but one. Where they are causeless, their |
Tx:29.26 | you think you like would hold you back as much as those in which the | fear is seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what |
Tx:29.26 | those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is but a dream of | fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is seen |
Tx:29.26 | but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The | fear is seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in |
Tx:29.26 | in pleasant form. But never is it absent from the dream, for | fear is the material of dreams from which they all are made. Their |
Tx:29.26 | it allowed you still to be afraid because you did not recognize the | fear. You would not then be willing to awake, for which the miracle |
Tx:29.27 | or assault must be the theme of every dream, for they are made of | fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in which they may be |
Tx:29.27 | in which they may be wrapped but slightly veils the heavy lump of | fear which is their core. And it is this the miracle perceives, and |
Tx:29.29 | of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives is never one of | fear. The coverings may not appear to change, but what they mean has |
Tx:29.37 | Such is the core of | fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees |
Tx:29.42 | the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from | fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous |
Tx:29.46 | outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole within and | fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek outside |
Tx:29.50 | minds are altars unto God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The | fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of |
Tx:29.50 | God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of God is but the | fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of loss of your reality. |
Tx:29.50 | The fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the | fear of loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an |
Tx:29.55 | is not a thing to make you tremble and to quail in | fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he ever |
Tx:29.69 | Whenever you feel | fear in any form—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep |
Tx:29.69 | completely all your sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in | fear, for fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for |
Tx:29.69 | all your sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for | fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and |
Tx:29.70 | the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of | fear. He does not fear his judgment, for he has judged no one, nor |
Tx:29.70 | they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. He does not | fear his judgment, for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be |
Tx:30.1 | you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of pain and | fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of |
Tx:30.5 | then another answer cannot but produce confusion and uncertainty and | fear. |
Tx:30.6 | hear may not resolve the problem as you saw it first. This leads to | fear because it contradicts what you perceive, and so you feel |
Tx:30.9 | practiced well, will serve to let you be directed without | fear, for opposition will not first arise and then become a problem |
Tx:30.14 | despite your opposition. For you have already gotten angry, and your | fear of being answered in a different way from what your version of |
Tx:30.28 | practice in the rules which will protect you from the ravages of | fear. When this has been achieved, the sorry dream of judgment has |
Tx:30.35 | love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of | fear established there. Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is |
Tx:30.35 | reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a prisoner to | fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. Your |
Tx:30.47 | of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that | fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you |
Tx:30.53 | not on them in any form. They but obscure reality, and they bring | fear because they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have made to |
Tx:30.56 | And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for | fear. Such is the only rule for happy dreams. The gap is emptied of |
Tx:30.56 | is the only rule for happy dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of | fear, and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And |
Tx:30.57 | in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness. | Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The |
Tx:30.57 | are made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of | fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as |
Tx:30.59 | made perfect in himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And | fear has dropped away because he is united in his purpose with |
Tx:30.60 | real world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But | fear is gone because its purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so |
Tx:30.63 | When brothers join in purpose in the world of | fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they |
Tx:30.64 | and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world of | fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! Within your hand |
Tx:30.64 | is everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from | fear forever and to go straight on and quickly reach the gate of |
Tx:30.65 | hate is passing from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all | fear. Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted |
Tx:30.68 | confidence with happy hearts that beat in hope and do not pound in | fear. |
Tx:30.70 | is never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from | fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real world given |
Tx:30.72 | that lets the real world rise to take the place of dreams of terror. | Fear cannot arise unless attack is justified, and if it had a real |
Tx:30.73 | is just, it seems impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the | fear of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who |
Tx:30.73 | pardon as unmerited. No one who sees himself as guilty can avoid the | fear of God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The |
Tx:30.84 | constant flux and make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. | Fear is a judgment never justified. Its presence has no meaning but |
Tx:30.84 | script and are afraid accordingly. But not because the thing you | fear has fearful meaning in itself. |
Tx:30.88 | with what you really are. This is a state so seemingly unsafe that | fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my brothers. We have one |
Tx:30.93 | that change and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of | fear. It will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not |
Tx:30.94 | is not free if you would have him be but what he is. Why should you | fear to see the Christ in him? You but behold your Self in what you |
Tx:31.8 | lesson 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 |
Tx:31.9 | love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were | fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. |
Tx:31.10 | The | fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty |
Tx:31.10 | be remembered when he learns his innocence. For hate must father | fear and look upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail |
Tx:31.30 | —a place where nothing can find mercy or survive the ravages of | fear except in murder and in death. For here are you made sin, and |
Tx:31.47 | was made to teach. It is a lesson in a terrible displacement and a | fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever |
Tx:31.49 | from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born of | fear. What is a concept but a thought to which its maker gives a |
Tx:31.58 | in many forms. And each will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no | fear it will not be undone. |
Tx:31.74 | imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of | fear. And what you see is hell, for fear is hell. All that is given |
Tx:31.74 | thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see is hell, for | fear is hell. All that is given you is for release—the sight, the |
Tx:31.76 | The veil across the face of Christ, the | fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they |
Tx:31.81 | dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of | fear. This is temptation, nothing more than this. Can this be |
Tx:31.91 | God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as | fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for holiness was |
Tx:31.93 | everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, lonely, and in constant | fear. For it is given you to join with him, and through the Christ in |
W1:5.1 | in whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be | fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, or any |
W1:6.1 | ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, | fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the perceived source very |
W1:13.3 | that you learn to recognize the meaningless and accept it without | fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the world |
W1:13.7 | A meaningless world engenders | fear because I think I am in competition with God. |
W1:13.8 | preposterous. Note carefully, however, any signs of overt or covert | fear which it may arouse. This is our first attempt at stating an |
W1:14.3 | and even quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly into | fear. You will not be left there. You will go far beyond it. Our |
W1:14.6 | did not create cancer,” or heart attacks, or whatever may arouse | fear in you. |
W1:16.3 | every thought you have brings either peace or war, either love or | fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral thought is |
W1:16.3 | neutral thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss | fear thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about |
W1:20.2 | distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and | fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed |
W1:22.2 | —everything that you hate and would attack and kill. All that you | fear does not exist. |
W1:23.1 | The idea for today contains the only way out of | fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else |
W1:26.2 | Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will | fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you are |
W1:26.2 | attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you | fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack |
W1:26.6 | take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, | fear, foreboding, or preoccupation. Any problem as yet unsettled |
W1:27.4 | If | fear of loss still persists, add further: |
W1:34.3 | for each of the longer practice periods. Search your mind for | fear thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, “offending” |
W1:39.6 | in whatever form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, | fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever form they take, |
W1:41.1 | worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense | fear of loss. The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what |
W1:41.2 | and out into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and | fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things |
W1:41.9 | You can indeed afford to laugh at | fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go. |

W1:46.2 | Fear condemns, and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what | fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. For |
W1:46.11 | guilty because I am a Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No | fear is possible in a mind beloved of God. There is no need to |
W1:47.2 | can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted and to justify | fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and sorrow. Who can put his faith |
W1:47.4 | searching for situations in your life which you have invested with | fear, dismissing each one by telling yourself, |
W1:48.1 | illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to | fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is very difficult to |
W1:48.3 | The presence of | fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The |
W1:48.3 | in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to | fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in a place |
W1:48.3 | The instant you are willing to do this, there is indeed nothing to | fear. |
W1:53.4 | [13] A meaningless world engenders | fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it is completely |
W1:53.4 | [13] A meaningless world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders | fear because it is completely undependable and offers no grounds for |

W1:54.6 | proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace | fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace loss. I |
W1:60.4 | [48] There is nothing to | fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will |
W1:60.4 | will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to | fear in a world which I have forgiven and which has forgiven me? |
W1:62.3 | weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all | fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and |
W1:64.3 | arrogance of the ego that leads you to question this and only the | fear of the ego that induces you to regard yourself as unworthy of |
W1:66.9 | and no other outcomes possible as a result of your choice but the | fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the Holy |
W1:68.3 | fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not | fear God? |
W1:78.4 | seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from | fear. |
W1:78.5 | and lay the grievances aside and look at him. Someone perhaps you | fear and even hate; someone you think you love who angers you; |
W1:93.15 | arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of | fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to |
W1:94.5 | God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self which knows no | fear nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death. |
W1:97.1 | your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of | fear can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting |
W1:98.3 | The guiltless have no | fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not |
W1:99.14 | here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay all | fear aside and know your Self as Love Which has no opposite in you. |
W1:99.16 | for today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and | fear forever from your mind. If you are tempted to believe them true, |
W1:99.20 | Thus do you lay forgiveness on your mind and let all | fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful place in |
W1:100.6 | much He loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no | fear besets him to disturb his peace. |
W1:101.2 | evens the account they owe to God. They would escape Him in their | fear. And yet He will pursue, and they cannot escape. |
W1:101.7 | Fear not the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will | |
W1:102.3 | and here your safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no | fear. Here is salvation. Here is rest at last. |
W1:103.2 | and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. | Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the |
W1:103.2 | is real. These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the | fear of God, forgetting being Love, He must be joy. |
W1:103.4 | God, being Love, is also happiness. To | fear Him is to be afraid of joy. |
W1:103.5 | with this association, which corrects the false belief that God is | fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you because of what He |
W1:103.6 | today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces | fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God |
W1:105.3 | of giving, so you can receive. For giving has become a source of | fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive. |
W1:107.4 | Without illusions there could be no | fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth has come, all pain is over, |
W1:109.5 | have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no | fear of future, and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while |
W1:110.1 | nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced by | fear and evil, misery and death. |
W1:110.2 | If you remain as God created you, | fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not |
W1:110.3 | cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life or | fear for love. All this has not occurred if you remain as God created |
W1:121.2 | The unforgiving mind is full of | fear and offers love no room to be itself, no place where it can |
W1:122.2 | while you sleep and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of | fear and evil, malice, and attack. And when you wake again, it offers |
W1:130.2 | reality? And who can choose to see a world of which he is afraid? | Fear must make blind, for this its weapon is—that which you fear to |
W1:130.2 | Fear must make blind, for this its weapon is—that which you | fear to see you cannot see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, |
W1:130.2 | to see you cannot see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but | fear obscures in darkness what is there. |
W1:130.3 | What, then, can | fear project upon the world? What can be seen in darkness that is |
W1:130.3 | What can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by | fear, and what remains is but imagined. Yet what can be real in blind |
W1:130.4 | Fear has made everything you think you see. All separation, all | |
W1:134.12 | can remove the ponderous and useless armor made to chain his mind to | fear and misery. His step is light, and as he lifts his foot to |
W1:135.4 | Defense is frightening. It stems from | fear, increasing fear as each defense is made. You think it offers |
W1:135.4 | Defense is frightening. It stems from fear, increasing | fear as each defense is made. You think it offers safety. Yet it |
W1:135.4 | each defense is made. You think it offers safety. Yet it speaks of | fear made real and terror justified. Is it not strange you do not |
W1:135.6 | Yet it is not the body that can | fear, nor be a thing to fear. It has no needs but those which you |
W1:135.6 | Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing to | fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It needs no |
W1:137.6 | solid and more stable than the mind. And love becomes a dream, while | fear remains the one reality that can be seen and justified and fully |
W1:138.2 | understand. Truth cannot come where it could only be perceived with | fear, for this would be the error truth can be brought to illusions. |
W1:138.10 | The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the | fear of hell when it is raised from its protective shield of |
W1:138.11 | made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate demands obscurity for | fear to be invested there. Now it is recognized as but a foolish, |
W1:152.1 | except his choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve nor | fear nor think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he wants. |
W1:152.2 | can loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of joy? Can | fear and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect holiness |
W1:153.4 | it has wrought. You are its slave. You know not what you do in | fear of it. You do not understand how much you have been made to |
W1:153.7 | is weakness. It proclaims you have denied the Christ and come to | fear His Father's anger. What can save you now from your delusion of |

W1:170.10 | is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god. For | fear is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be |

W1:187.10 | Now are we one in thought, for | fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one |
W1:189.2 | Who could feel | fear in such a world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you |
W1:189.3 | from the world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of | fear that one belies the other. Only one can be perceived at all. The |
W1:190.3 | in place of truth. It demonstrates God is denied, confused with | fear, perceived as mad, and seen as traitor to Himself. If God is |
W1:190.3 | is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not part of love. And | fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has |
W1:190.7 | desires bring it evil dreams. Your thoughts of death envelop it in | fear, while in your kind forgiveness does it live. |
W1:190.8 | not to be free. In pain is God denied the Son He loves. In pain does | fear appear to triumph over love and time replace eternity and |
W1:190.9 | all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of | fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay down the cruel sword of |
W1:192.4 | symbols written there before. Forgiveness is the means by which the | fear of death is overcome because it holds no fierce attraction now, |
W1:192.5 | lost the source of all attack, the core of anguish, and the seat of | fear? |
W1:193.4 | which forgiveness enters, and returns the hate to love, so that the | fear is gone. And now guilt cannot enter, for its source has been |

W1:196.5 | to destroy his life and blot him from the universe, without the | fear of hell upon his heart? |
W1:196.6 | least, must be entirely impossible, how could there be escape? The | fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he |

W1:196.7 | you cannot perceive that it is but your thoughts that bring you | fear and your deliverance depends on you. |
W1:196.8 | it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the | fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe that fear is |
W1:196.8 | the fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe that | fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had thought to banish, can |
W1:196.9 | can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the world and need not | fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide in terror from the |
W1:196.9 | vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide in terror from the deadly | fear of God projection hides behind. The thing you dread the most is |
W1:196.10 | quite hopeless. When you realize once and for all that it is you you | fear, the mind perceives itself as split. And this had been concealed |
W1:196.10 | from outside to within. It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to | fear. And thus a god outside yourself became your mortal enemy—the |
W1:196.10 | thus a god outside yourself became your mortal enemy—the source of | fear. |
W1:196.11 | in this instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For | fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to save you from |
W1:196.11 | His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—today. Step back from | fear and make advance to love. |
W1:196.12 | instant and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the | fear of God is gone, there are no obstacles that still remain between |
W1:197.7 | And with the end of this belief is | fear forever over. Thank your Self for this, for He is grateful only |
W1:199.2 | such a mind 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 |
W1:200.6 | appears to be a choice to make between success and failure, love and | fear? |
W2:225.1 | and keeping it within its kindly light, inviolate—beloved, with | fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son |
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 to Him. |
W2:240.1 | Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you | |
W2:240.1 | Let us not be deceived today. We are the Son of God. There is no | fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself. |

W2:259.1 | of fear, obscuring God's creation, giving love the attributes of | fear and of attack? |
W2:WIB.3 | seems to picture happiness but can quite suddenly revert to | fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and |
W2:WIB.3 | dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never | fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. |
W2:WIB.5 | you. Your safety lies in truth and not in lies. Love is your safety. | Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify |
W2:265.1 | in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There is no | fear in it. Let no appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of |
W2:272.2 | be chosen just as easily as hell and love will happily replace all | fear. |
W2:273.2 | Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to | fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I |

W2:278.2 | thoughts about myself and my creation and have brought a dream of | fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You |

W2:WIRW.2 | thought reflected in your world, a sure correction for the sights of | fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world |

W2:293.2 | the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of | fear. There is a real world which the present holds safe from all |

W2:295.1 | the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. | Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one. |
W2:298.1 | My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without | fear. And thus am I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded |

W2:331.1 | that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the will of Love. | Fear is a dream and has no will that can conflict with Yours. |
W2:332.2 | We would not bind the world again today. | Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to |

M:28.4 | 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 illusions, |

Tx:5.59 | as the Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is fear because only the | fearful can be egotistic. The ego's logic is as impeccable as that of |

Tx:7.103 | What else, then, can this decision mean except that you want to be | fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always |
Tx:8.90 | fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as | fearful to you demonstrates that you are afraid of what you are. It |
Tx:8.91 | what you are and if you have already decided that what you are is | fearful, then it must follow that you will not learn this course. Yet |

Tx:9.68 | but only because the dissociation was an attack on truth. You are | fearful because you have forgotten. And you have replaced your |

Tx:9.71 | on truth and truth is God, you will realize why this is always | fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of God, you will |
Tx:9.81 | think they are your father because you are projecting onto them the | fearful fact that you made them to replace God. Yet when they seem to |
Tx:9.83 | nothing. Yet fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be | fearful. You have chosen to fear love because of its perfect |
Tx:10.41 | 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 simple: |
Tx:12.5 | find him. Yet the wish has hidden him from you because it is very | fearful, and you are afraid to find him. You have handled this wish |
Tx:12.67 | Yet the dreams of love lead unto knowledge. In them you see nothing | fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you offer |
Tx:13.12 | Release from guilt is the ego's whole undoing. Make no one | fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by obeying the ego's harsh |
Tx:13.20 | source, from which attention is diverted, must be true and must be | fearful, or you would not have displaced the guilt onto what you |
Tx:13.20 | would not have displaced the guilt onto what you believed to be less | fearful. You are therefore willing with little opposition to look |
Tx:14.16 | for light, of ignorance for understanding. Nothing you understand is | fearful. It is only in darkness and in ignorance that you perceive |
Tx:14.17 | perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is | fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought to love, |
Tx:14.18 | ignorance, look to them only for fear, for what they keep obscure is | fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful will be so no longer. |
Tx:14.18 | for what they keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was | fearful will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only |
Tx:14.23 | Him, and let His gentleness teach you that in the light they are not | fearful and cannot serve to guard the dark doors behind which nothing |
Tx:15.98 | And that guilt is the price of love, which must be paid by fear. How | fearful, then, has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do |
Tx:15.99 | only of yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so savage and so | fearful that you cannot accept it where it is. But the real price of |
Tx:15.101 | from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have become very | fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few special |
Tx:15.104 | your invitation bids them be. What you excluded from yourself seems | fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out though |
Tx:16.52 | as a triumph over God, would you want it? Let us not think of its | fearful nature nor of the guilt it must entail nor of the sadness and |
Tx:16.53 | you grant unlimited power to what you think you have attacked? So | fearful has the truth become to you that unless it is weak and |
Tx:16.56 | Salvation lies in the simple fact that illusions are not | fearful because they are not true. They but seem to be fearful to the |
Tx:16.56 | are not fearful because they are not true. They but seem to be | fearful to the extent to which you fail to recognize them for what |
Tx:16.67 | and despair and see it thus. What guilt has wrought is ugly, | fearful, and very dangerous. See no illusion of truth and beauty |
Tx:17.2 | It is, then, only your wish to change reality that is | fearful, because by your wish you think you have accomplished what |
Tx:17.40 | to each other. The dark picture brought to light is not perceived as | fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is brought home at |
Tx:18.5 | to emerge. What else could come of it? Its fragmented aspects are | fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But nothing you have |
Tx:18.17 | you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot out reality are very | fearful, but this you are not willing to accept. And so you |
Tx:18.17 | willing to accept. And so you substitute the fantasy that reality is | fearful, not what you would do to it. And thus is guilt made real. |
Tx:18.26 | increases, for there is little doubt that what you think it means is | fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel surely and very swiftly |
Tx:18.38 | from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and make salvation | fearful. And it is only fear that you will add if you prepare |
Tx:19.77 | fear of death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and | fearful. Yet it could have no hold at all except on those who are |
Tx:19.100 | but not with fear. For only if they share in it does it seem | fearful, and you do share in it until you look upon each other with |
Tx:19.101 | You do not know him, and your interpretation of him is very | fearful. And you attack him still, to keep what seems to be yourself |
Tx:20.19 | is frightened, and those who kill fear death. All these are but the | fearful thoughts of those who would adjust themselves to a world made |
Tx:20.19 | thoughts of those who would adjust themselves to a world made | fearful by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow from what |
Tx:20.20 | world is merciless, and were it outside you, you should indeed be | fearful. Yet it was you who made it merciless, and now if |
Tx:20.50 | of the idolater and of love's condemnation. For here is love made | fearful and hope abandoned. Even the idols that are worshiped here |
Tx:20.50 | within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem | fearful to you and kept unknown. |
Tx:20.56 | salvation and not his doom. You who are learning this may still be | fearful, but you are not immobilized. The holy instant is of greater |
Tx:20.76 | into happy dreams; your wild hallucinations that show you all the | fearful outcomes of imagined sin into the calm and reassuring sights |
Tx:21.24 | fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of a | fearful world to justify its purpose. What you desire you will see. |
Tx:21.41 | that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this makes no one | fearful. You are indeed afraid to look within and see the sin you |
Tx:21.41 | within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be | fearful to admit. Fear in association with sin the ego deems quite |
Tx:21.64 | you choose he be is but your choice for you. Yet think not this is | fearful. That you are joined to him is but a fact, not an |
Tx:21.64 | to him is but a fact, not an interpretation. How can a fact be | fearful unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? |
Tx:21.71 | are the dark ones, silent and afraid, alone and not communicating, | fearful the power of the Son of God will strike them dead and raising |
Tx:21.76 | first three questions but not yet the last. For this one still seems | fearful and unlike the others. Yet reason would assure you they are |
Tx:22.13 | in a language the body does not speak. Nor could it be a | fearful sight or sound that drew them gently into one. Rather, in |
Tx:22.62 | its Creator]. And thus it seems as if love could attack and become | fearful. |
Tx:23.5 | the little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in a | fearful world and realize that Heaven's glory shines on him? |
Tx:23.14 | on anything that God created with anything but love. Conflict is | fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of nothing |
Tx:25.38 | you not be afraid with “enemies” like these? And must you not be | fearful of yourself? For you have hurt yourself and made your Self |
Tx:26.37 | the past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want that | fearful instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was |
Tx:26.72 | and now its cause must be if its effects already have been judged as | fearful. And in overlooking this, is it protected and kept separate |
Tx:27.45 | The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack of fear. The | fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does not mean the |
Tx:27.47 | feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the world indeed seem | fearful, for you have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it to |
Tx:27.73 | world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more | fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think |
Tx:27.73 | lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So | fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality |
Tx:28.13 | away. Its own remembering has gone. There is no past to keep its | fearful image in the way of glad awakening to present peace. The |
Tx:28.38 | way of finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of | fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in |
Tx:28.49 | will not want to know your own Identity because you think that it is | fearful. And you will deny your Self and walk upon an alien ground |
Tx:29.2 | He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that love is | fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little gap must |
Tx:29.3 | remains to block your path and make the way to light seem dark and | fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your brother is |
Tx:29.55 | its purpose is to separate your brother from yourself. A dark and | fearful purpose, yet a thought without the power to change one blade |
Tx:29.69 | Whenever you feel fear in any form—and you are | fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of help, a |
Tx:30.53 | make illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made | fearful by a power that can have no real effects at all? What could |
Tx:30.65 | not bring you pain? What moment of content has not been bought at | fearful price in coins of suffering? Joy has no cost. It is your |
Tx:30.73 | right as much as his. Nor will you think that God intends for you a | fearful judgment which your brother does not merit. For it is the |
Tx:30.84 | never justified. Its presence has no meaning but to show you wrote a | fearful script and are afraid accordingly. But not because the thing |
Tx:30.84 | and are afraid accordingly. But not because the thing you fear has | fearful meaning in itself. |
Tx:31.23 | in you. Hear but his call for mercy and release from all the | fearful images he holds of what he is and of what you must be. He is |
Tx:31.69 | sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in | fearful form, with content still concealed, to shake your sorry |
Tx:31.72 | Have faith in him who walks with you, so that your | fearful concept of yourself may change. And look upon the good in him |
Tx:31.88 | can not prevail against what God Himself would have you be. Be never | fearful of temptation then, but see it as it is—another chance to |
W1:12.4 | I think I see a | fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a |
W1:13.2 | The ego rushes in frantically to establish its own “ideas” there, | fearful that the void may otherwise be used to demonstrate its own |
W1:13.3 | to recognize the meaningless and accept it without fear. If you are | fearful, it is certain that you will endow the world with attributes |
W1:39.6 | and so on. Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore | fearful. And so it is from them that you need to be saved. |
W1:47.1 | own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious, and | fearful. What can you predict or control? What is there in you that |
W1:56.3 | that vision is my greatest need. The world I see attests to the | fearful nature of the self-image I have made. If I would remember who |
W1:56.4 | Above all else I want to see differently. The world I see holds my | fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I |
W1:68.3 | grievances denies he was created by Love, and his Creator has become | fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not |
W1:87.2 | of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, | fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light |
W1:92.7 | and darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as | fearful as itself. No miracles are here, but only hate. It separates |
W1:109.6 | away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more | fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take time today to |
W1:133.12 | there are but two. And the alternative you think you chose seems | fearful and too dangerous to be the nothingness it actually is. |
W1:135.7 | Is not this picture | fearful? Can you be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet |
W1:153.7 | What can save you now from your delusion of an angry god whose | fearful image you believe you see at work in all the evils of the |
W1:153.9 | attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all | fearful thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, |
W1:153.12 | designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace their | fearful toys with joyous games which teach them that the game of fear |
W1:153.13 | lost to hope, abandoned by your Father, left alone in terror in a | fearful world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is |
W1:158.7 | can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and | fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. |
W1:163.8 | Death's worshipers may be afraid. And yet can thoughts like these be | fearful? If they saw that it is only this which they believed, they |
W1:170.10 | seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, | fearful and beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. Here is |
W1:170.11 | “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of love. And what becomes more | fearful than the heart of Love Itself? The blood appears to be upon |
W1:189.5 | If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a | fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. |
W1:190.5 | they will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as | fearful now becomes a source of innocence and holiness. |
W1:191.1 | jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, | fearful of shadows, punitive and wild, lacking all reason, blind, |
W1:192.7 | confusion born of error. We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and | fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light, our minds |
W1:196.6 | Such is the form of madness you believe if you accept the | fearful thought you can attack another and be free yourself. Until |
W2:WIB.3 | For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be | fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change |
W2:263.1 | as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and | fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my choice |
W2:WIHS.3 | His Voice appeal in vain nor turn away from His replacement for the | fearful images and dreams you made. The Holy Spirit understands the |
W2:WIE.1 | is denied. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and love is | fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true. |
W2:351.1 | myself a sinner, not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a | fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make and can |
M:4.14 | his function from his awareness. It will make him confused, | fearful, angry, and suspicious. It will make the Holy Spirit's |
M:16.6 | yourself. You think you made a power that can save you from all the | fearful things you see in dreams. It is not so. Your safety lies not |
M:16.9 | nor demanding sacrifice, healing nor destructive, quieting nor | fearful. When all magic is recognized as merely nothing, the teacher |
M:16.10 | as true must be abandoned through his recognition not that it is | fearful, not that it is sinful, not that it is dangerous, but merely |
M:25.4 | for what is withheld from love is given to fear and will be | fearful in consequence. |

W2:240.2 | How foolish are our | fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to |

Tx:19.55 | Love, too, would set a | feast before you on a table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a |

Tx:2.72 | it under your will, where it does not belong. This means that you | feel responsible for it. The level confusion here is obvious. |
Tx:2.74 | When you are fearful, you have willed wrongly. This is why you | feel responsible for it. You must change your mind, not your |
Tx:2.93 | small part of the day and somewhat inconsistently even then. You may | feel at this point that it would take a miracle to enable you to do |
Tx:3.42 | in which attack is always possible. Man has every reason to | feel afraid as he perceives himself. This is why he cannot escape |
Tx:3.65 | When you | feel tired, it is merely because you have judged yourself as capable |
Tx:3.65 | idea of being more debased than they are. All of this does make you | feel tired because it is essentially disheartening. You are not |
Tx:3.71 | There is no man who does not | feel that he is imprisoned in some way. If this is the result of his |
Tx:3.79 | is why you become so fearful. As you approach the beginning, you | feel the fear of the destruction of your thought system upon you, as |
Tx:4.27 | the love that animals have for their own offspring and the need they | feel to protect them. This is because they regard them as part of |
Tx:4.49 | of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the love you | feel for what you made because you made it. No human love is without |
Tx:4.61 | When you | feel guilty, know that the ego has indeed violated the laws of God, |
Tx:4.61 | your ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot release you. As long as you | feel guilty, your ego is in command because only the ego can |
Tx:5.68 | own thought and must therefore obey its orders. This makes them | feel responsible for their mind errors, without recognizing that by |
Tx:5.94 | the usual sense because this implies guilt. If you allow yourself to | feel guilty, you will reinforce the error rather than allow it to be |
Tx:5.95 | have made a decision not to be wholly joyous if that is how you | feel. Therefore, the first step in the undoing is to recognize that |
Tx:5.96 | I will to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace. I do not | feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences |
Tx:6.27 | the separation going. It is solely a device of the ego to make you | feel different from your brothers and separated from them. The ego |
Tx:7.70 | Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother, you will | feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as love. It is as |
Tx:7.78 | you did not value it and therefore did not want it. This makes you | feel deprived of it, and by projecting your own rejection, you |
Tx:8.25 | you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you do, you will | feel lonely and helpless, because you are denying yourself everything. |
Tx:8.77 | A learning device is not a teacher. It cannot tell you how you | feel. You do not know how you feel, because you have accepted the |
Tx:8.77 | a teacher. It cannot tell you how you feel. You do not know how you | feel, because you have accepted the ego's confusion, and you think |
Tx:8.77 | confusion, and you think that a learning device can tell you how you | feel. Sickness is merely another example of your insistence on asking |
Tx:8.77 | does not know the answer. The ego is incapable of knowing how you | feel. When we said that the ego does not know anything, we said the |
Tx:8.105 | panic, because you are trying to make yourself unreal. When you | feel these things, do not try to look beyond yourself for truth, for |
Tx:9.66 | not remember being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely | feel better because loving seems possible to you, but you do not |
Tx:9.104 | If God knows His Children to be wholly joyous, it is blasphemous to | feel depressed. All of these illusions and the many other forms which |
Tx:10.74 | This is a very simple course. Perhaps you do not | feel that a course which, in the end, teaches nothing more than that |
Tx:11.75 | an essential part of the Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you | feel guilty, you are listening to the voice of the ego, which tells |
Tx:11.85 | If you did not | feel guilty, you could not attack, for condemnation is the root of |
Tx:13.22 | guilt upon him or share it with him or perceive his own, you will | feel guilty. Nor will you find satisfaction and peace with him, |
Tx:13.64 | which interferes with all your thinking. The happy learner cannot | feel guilty about learning. This is so essential to learning that it |
Tx:13.79 | do so is to evaluate his Father and judge against Him. And you will | feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this world or |
Tx:13.87 | you do, you will still think that you are separate from Him. You can | feel His Presence next to you but cannot know that you are one with |
Tx:13.89 | You will | feel guilty till you learn this. For in the end, whatever form it |
Tx:15.74 | be anger. All anger is nothing more than an attempt to make someone | feel guilty, and this attempt is the only basis which the ego accepts |
Tx:15.75 | with a body is not communication. And if you think it is, you will | feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy |
Tx:16.44 | hate together, and even those who believe that hate is sin merely | feel guilty and do not correct it. |
Tx:18.46 | When you | feel the holiness of your relationship is threatened by anything, |
Tx:19.60 | this for which you would deny a home to peace. This “sacrifice” you | feel to be too great to make, too much to ask of you. |
Tx:19.82 | is useful for your holy purpose. The body no more dies than it can | feel. It does nothing. Of itself, it is neither corruptible nor |
Tx:19.90 | What would you see without the fear of death? What would you | feel and think if death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you |
Tx:20.44 | Be comforted and | feel the Holy Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence |
Tx:21.26 | And if you think what you have made can tell you what you see and | feel and place your faith in its ability to do so, you are denying |
Tx:21.41 | quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no fear to let you | feel ashamed. It doubts not your belief and faith in sin. Its temples |
Tx:22.50 | Forget not, when you | feel the need arise to be defensive about anything, you have |
Tx:22.50 | you have identified yourself with an illusion. And therefore | feel that you are weak because you are alone. This is the cost of all |
Tx:23.40 | the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you | feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? |
Tx:23.41 | the massive guilt and frantic fear of punishment the murderer must | feel? He may deny he is a murderer and justify his savagery with |
Tx:24.6 | “beneath” the special one is “natural” and “just.” The special ones | feel weak and frail because of differences, for what would make them |
Tx:24.70 | gone. Yet you are reassured that it is there because you still can | feel it with your hands and hear it move. Here is an image that you |
Tx:24.70 | true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands that | feel it, and the ears with which you listened to the sounds it makes. |
Tx:25.32 | Minds that are joined and recognize they are can | feel no guilt. For they cannot attack, and they rejoice that this is |
Tx:25.85 | you were unjust to one with equal rights. Seek to deny, and you will | feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A miracle |
Tx:26.59 | while cherishing attack. Its failure lies in that you still | feel guilty, though without understanding why. Effects are seen as |
Tx:26.71 | loss is not your fear. But present joining is your dread. Who can | feel desolation except now? A future cause as yet has no effects. And |
Tx:27.57 | holds within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what it should | feel and what its function is. Yet must He love whatever you hold |
Tx:27.86 | truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you | feel, this is still true. For you would not react at all to figures |
Tx:28.54 | so it has no need to be competitive. It can be victimized but cannot | feel itself as victim. It accepts no role but does what it is told, |
Tx:29.18 | power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and thought to | feel and act and hold you in its grasp as prisoner to itself. And it |

Tx:29.69 | you feel fear in any form—and you are fearful if you do not | feel a deep content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven |
Tx:30.6 | leads to fear because it contradicts what you perceive, and so you | feel attacked. And therefore angry. There are rules by which this |

Tx:30.16 | At least I can decide I do not like what I | feel now. |
Tx:30.18 | 5. Having decided that you do not like the way you | feel, what could be easier than to continue with, |
Tx:30.20 | that you want and that you need, because you do not like the way you | feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you go ahead with just |

W1:32.4 | a time when few distractions are anticipated and when you yourself | feel reasonably ready. |
W1:34.5 | The shorter applications are to be frequent and made whenever you | feel your peace of mind is threatened in any way. The purpose is to |
W1:34.7 | take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you | feel some sense of relief. It will help you if you tell yourself |

W1:91.4 | your sense of weakness hides will leap into awareness as you | feel the strength in you. |
W1:91.9 | Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You need to | feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. |
W1:91.13 | strength will come. It is through Their strong support that you will | feel the strength in you. They are united with you in this practice |
W1:94.3 | devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to | feel the truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these |
W1:95.16 | Repeat this several times, and then attempt to | feel the meaning which the words convey. You are One Self, united and |
W1:95.18 | Feel this One Self in you, and let it shine away all your illusions | |
W1:95.18 | and His love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to | feel this Self within you and to cast all your illusions out of the |
W1:107.2 | you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would | feel? Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe |

W1:134.11 | what he thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot | feel that all escape has been denied to him. |
W1:136.19 | you will recognize you practiced well by this—the body should not | feel at all. If you have been successful, there will be no sense of |
W1:137.2 | one self apart from all the rest to suffer what the others do not | feel. It gives the body final power to make the separation real and |

W1:169.5 | no lips to speak them and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to | feel that it is now aware of something not itself. It has united with |
W1:182.1 | the Voice nor what it is the Voice reminds you of. Yet still you | feel an alien here, from somewhere all unknown. Nothing so definite |

W1:189.2 | Who could | feel fear in such a world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you |
W1:189.4 | is the world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who | feel God's Love in them. Their world reflects the quietness and peace |

Tx:5.48 | Let us make the distinction a little sharper now. Neurotic guilt | feelings are a device of the ego for “atoning” without sharing and |
Tx:5.49 | the healing potential it holds. You made the distinction in terms of | feelings, which led to a decision not to repeat the error, which is |
Tx:5.68 | orders your thought because your thought was created by Him. Guilt | feelings are always a sign that you do not know this. They also show |
Tx:5.70 | to remain separated is the only possible reason for continuing guilt | feelings. We have said this before, but we did not emphasize the |
Tx:5.72 | Guilt | feelings are the preservers of time. They induce fears of future |

Tx:13.56 | the distortions you have made of nothing—all the strange forms and | feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven out of it. |
Tx:19.73 | And just as certainly, it has no feeling. It transmits to you the | feelings that you want. Like any communication medium, the body |
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 |
Tx:21.25 | by itself and capable of serving as a cause of the events and | feelings its maker thinks it causes. Long ago we spoke of your desire |

W1:39.10 | during which you merely repeat today's idea to yourself slowly a | few times. You may also find it helpful to include a few short |
W1:39.10 | slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to include a | few short intervals in which you just relax and do not seem to be |

Tx:2.47 | appears to contradict free will because of the inevitability of the | final decision. If you review the idea carefully, however, you will |

W2:289.2 | of sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I made ready for Your | final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to find |
W2:WIRW.5 | purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His | final step, and time has disappeared, taking perception with it as it |

W2:FL.1 | Our | final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them |

Tx:8.43 | for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one created by God can | find joy in anything except the eternal. That is not because he is |
Tx:8.47 | not withhold creation from you, because His joy is in it. You cannot | find joy except as God does. His joy lay in creating you, and He |

Tx:9.7 | his errors as real, and you have attacked yourself. If you would | find your way and keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk |
Tx:9.18 | satisfaction in reality. Yet it is certain that he will never | find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is to change his |
Tx:9.18 | in fantasy. When you search for reality in fantasies, you will not | find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of these you will |

Tx:9.84 | Only at the altar of God will you | find peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it there. His |
Tx:10.29 | that is yours. Give His peace that you may enter the temple and | find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you |
Tx:10.65 | You will not | find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of God's |
Tx:11.35 | you will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to | find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the world as |

Tx:11.36 | it. Its dictates, then, can be summed up simply as, “Seek and do not | find.” This is the one promise the ego holds out to you and the one |
Tx:11.37 | in its frantic search for love, it is seeking what it is afraid to | find. The search is inevitable because the ego is part of your mind, |
Tx:11.38 | It is surely obvious that no one wants to | find what would utterly defeat him. Being unable to love, the ego |
Tx:11.39 | but lead to a sense of futility and depression? To seek and not to | find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would keep? The Holy |
Tx:11.39 | that will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you will | find,” and under His guidance you cannot be defeated. His is the |
Tx:11.49 | We have said that the ego's rule is, “Seek and do not | find.” Translated into curricular terms, this is the same as saying, |
Tx:11.66 | always 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 |
Tx:11.66 | will find. The ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not | find love, for that is not what it is seeking. Yet seeking and |
Tx:11.66 | and finding are the same, and if you seek for two goals you will | find them, but you will recognize neither. For you will think they |
Tx:11.67 | and then you look out and behold his witnesses. This is why you | find what you seek. What you want in yourself, you will make manifest |
Tx:11.72 | When you have accepted your mission to project peace, you will | find it, for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its holy |
Tx:11.77 | see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you will never | find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it except through |
Tx:11.77 | it, you will never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you | find it except through itself? Offer it and it will come to you |
Tx:11.83 | and found despair. Yet by seeking the unreal, what else could you | find? The unreal world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. |
Tx:11.93 | is seeking to escape from the prison he has made, and the way to | find release is not denied him. Being in him, he has found it. When |
Tx:12.1 | its viewpoint only, for much as the ego wants to retain guilt, you | find it intolerable, since guilt stands in the way of your |
Tx:12.5 | “terrible” secret because you still wish to crucify him if you could | find him. Yet the wish has hidden him from you because it is very |
Tx:12.5 | him from you because it is very fearful, and you are afraid to | find him. You have handled this wish to kill yourself by not knowing |
Tx:12.11 | without fear if you did not believe that, without the ego, you would | find within yourself something you fear even more. You are not afraid |
Tx:12.18 | only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You will | find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for though |
Tx:12.22 | on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and you will | find it, for love is in you and will lead you there. |
Tx:12.28 | of illusions and losing the endless opportunities which you could | find for release in the present. The ego would preserve your |
Tx:12.49 | him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you will | find it if you seek it there. You have looked for it where it is not |
Tx:12.54 | of light, you know not that the light is in you. Yet you will | find it through its witnesses, for having given light to them, they |
Tx:12.55 | nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the world and | find another. This other world is bright with love, which you have |
Tx:12.61 | it that, and so although you turn in sadness from it, you cannot | find in it the road that leads away from it into another world. |
Tx:12.68 | you do need things because it is a world of scarcity in which you | find yourself because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in |
Tx:12.68 | in which you find yourself because you are lacking. Yet can you | find yourself in such a world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer |
Tx:12.75 | can you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must | find together. The Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and |
Tx:13.7 | your part in the redemption and who are seeking you and where to | find them. Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. You, who |
Tx:13.21 | who would unite in any way with anyone for his own salvation will | find it in that strange relationship. It is not shared, and so it is |
Tx:13.22 | it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will you | find satisfaction and peace with him, because your union with him is |
Tx:13.23 | Yet you let them stand between you and your brothers, with whom you | find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your |
Tx:13.23 | past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to | find salvation now? |
Tx:13.25 | whatever he may do, you will not look within, where you would always | find Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as long as you |
Tx:13.39 | strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You will | find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not |
Tx:13.40 | what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you will | find the answer that makes the need for any differences disappear. |
Tx:13.55 | Have faith in nothing, and you will | find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another burden |
Tx:13.58 | I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will | find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will love |
Tx:14.11 | your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you will | find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what is for |
Tx:14.43 | he has been taught his need for it but knows not where to look to | find it. Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you. |
Tx:14.55 | The lonely journey fails because it has excluded what it would | find. |
Tx:14.75 | powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you will | find yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail against |
Tx:15.3 | pursue you beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to | find peace even in the death it wants for you, it offers you |
Tx:15.32 | will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to | find anything. |
Tx:15.35 | Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, in which you will not | find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet |
Tx:15.36 | much as you want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can | find salvation in your own way and have it. Give over every plan that |
Tx:15.41 | For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you | find a way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would |
Tx:15.51 | resembles, and so however much you seek for its reality, you cannot | find it because it is not real. |
Tx:15.56 | And it is equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and | find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all |
Tx:15.57 | perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot | find without. I offer you my perfect faith in you in place of all |
Tx:15.59 | You do not | find it difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for |
Tx:15.59 | idea, and so your faith in Him is strengthened by sharing. What you | find difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are |
Tx:15.69 | He can make of them, you do not know, but you will become willing to | find out if you are willing, first, to perceive what you have made of |
Tx:15.81 | and join you in your love. And where you are must everyone seek and | find you there. |
Tx:15.106 | is it that in all your seeking for love, you seek for sacrifice and | find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to deny what love is |
Tx:15.106 | your seeking for love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you | find not love. It is impossible to deny what love is and still |
Tx:16.7 | is lost in any relationship which looks to weakness and hopes to | find love there. The power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the |
Tx:16.33 | peace in which it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they | find the fear of death is still upon them, the love relationship |
Tx:16.35 | Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and | find all of the barriers within yourself which you have built against |
Tx:16.48 | and Heaven and making them indistinguishable. And the attempt to | find the imagined “best” of both worlds has merely led to fantasies |
Tx:16.48 | better example could there be of the ego's maxim, “Seek but do not | find?” |
Tx:16.60 | so will you be released. Forget this not, or love will be unable to | find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the Holy Spirit |
Tx:16.65 | realize it is delay and that escape from pain is really possible. | Find hope and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no |
Tx:16.65 | hope and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no longer | find even the illusion of love in any special relationship here. For |
Tx:16.73 | you that salvation is past and that you must return to the past to | find salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain the dream |
Tx:16.80 | Seek and | find his message in the holy instant, where all illusions are |
Tx:17.48 | is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For now you | find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the |
Tx:17.50 | you as you perceive its purpose work in it to make it holy. You will | find many opportunities to blame each other for the “failure” of your |
Tx:17.53 | to blame each other for the discomfort of the situation in which you | find yourselves. And by this lack of thanks and gratitude, you make |
Tx:17.68 | Every situation in which you | find yourself is but a means to meet the purpose set for your |
Tx:18.16 | You do not | find the differences between what you see in sleep and on awaking |
Tx:18.39 | because you insist there must be more that you need do. [You | find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give so little to |
Tx:18.63 | not a means in your interpretation, and this always means you still | find sin attractive. No one accepts Atonement for himself who still |
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 need this time. Time |
Tx:18.80 | Go out and | find them, for they bring your Self with them. And lead them gently |
Tx:19.32 | believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you will | find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the |
Tx:19.36 | a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can come and | find rest. Here is the rest that waits for all after the journey. And |
Tx:19.50 | out guilt and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin which they can | find, losing none of them on pain of death and laying them |
Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not | find pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for |
Tx:19.76 | itself along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego | find the death it seeks, returning it to you. |
Tx:20.13 | The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So will we | find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads us. |
Tx:20.13 | is within us, as is our home. So will we find what we were meant to | find by Him Who leads us. |
Tx:20.37 | comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins to | find the certainty his Father has in him. And there he finds his |
Tx:20.58 | it that is not consistent. The seeming inconsistencies or parts you | find more difficult than others are merely indications of areas where |
Tx:20.76 | no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always looks within to | find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give the world |
Tx:21.17 | decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to | find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is |
Tx:21.34 | Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought to | find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His |
Tx:21.53 | ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you will not | find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist. And if it |
Tx:21.53 | and has your freedom as the purpose given it, you must be free to | find it. |
Tx:21.73 | Yes, it can overrun the world and seek an enemy. But it can never | find what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this |
Tx:21.73 | but this will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to | find another and never comes to rest in victory. And as it runs, it |
Tx:21.74 | Reason would surely bid him seek no longer what is not there to | find. Yet first he must be willing to perceive a world where it is |
Tx:21.76 | attests to your belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may | find. Here, then, would seem to be the last remaining hope of finding |
Tx:22.12 | else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone, for never could He | find a home in separate ones. Yet must He be reborn into His ancient |
Tx:22.44 | miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for himself could | find it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it was not given |
Tx:22.51 | as functionless. No one but yearns for freedom and tries to | find it. Yet he will seek for it where he believes it is and can be |
Tx:22.51 | or body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to | find it. |
Tx:23.26 | with 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, |
Tx:23.35 | him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him and be saved. Who can | find safety from attack by turning on himself? How can it matter what |
Tx:23.46 | in safety from above and not be touched. But from within it, you can | find no safety. Not one tree left standing still will shelter you. |
Tx:23.55 | could be wanted more? Who with the love of God upholding him could | find the choice of miracles or murder hard to make? |
Tx:24.48 | He walks beside you and before, leading the way that He must go to | find Himself complete. His quietness becomes your certainty. And |
Tx:24.54 | they see in everything. And it is He they look for everywhere and | find no sight nor place nor time where He is not. Within your |
Tx:24.60 | it and promising success. Yet of the two, it is this one you | find more difficult. The “sacrifice” of self you understand, nor do |
Tx:24.60 | tiny willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you | find a burden wearisome and tedious, too heavy to be borne. Yet to |
Tx:25.12 | the body's eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you | find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy to attain some |
Tx:25.40 | be regained unless the way is shown to him through you that you may | find it, walking by his side. |
Tx:25.56 | needs and to the special time and place in which you think you | find yourself and where you can be free of place and time and all |
Tx:25.64 | not called upon to do what one divided still against himself would | find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such |
Tx:26.14 | from the God of justice. But ask not God to punish him because you | find him guilty and would have him die. God offers you the means to |
Tx:26.44 | the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones which he prefers and | find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe |
Tx:26.58 | too little. He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to | find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a |
Tx:26.58 | loss, and loneliness. This is the treasure he has sought to | find. And he could only be afraid of it. Is fear a treasure? Can |
Tx:26.88 | to perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you seek to | find an innocence which is not Theirs but yours alone and at the cost |
Tx:27.2 | not escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you | find your own. |
Tx:27.67 | allegiance. What conceals the truth is not where you should look to | find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one little |
Tx:27.67 | to sin all stand within one little space. And it is here you | find the cause of your perspective on the world. |
Tx:28.38 | whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You | find yourself by not accepting them as causing you and giving you |
Tx:29.9 | the body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to | find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by |
Tx:29.10 | looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to | find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up |
Tx:29.12 | It has been hopeless to attempt to | find the hope of peace upon a battleground. It has been futile to |
Tx:29.14 | where you invited Him to be. There is no other place where He can | find His host nor where His host can meet with Him. And nowhere else |
Tx:29.35 | of hate? Who would lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to | find its peace? Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death. |
Tx:29.43 | answer in His place. There is no other answer you can substitute and | find the happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For |
Tx:29.44 | he wanders aimlessly about in search of something that he cannot | find, believing that he is what he is not. |
Tx:29.48 | known to you and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you must | find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy. It is vain to |
Tx:30.2 | consciously each time you wake, will put you well ahead. And if you | find resistance strong and dedication weak, you are not ready. Do not |
Tx:30.76 | yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look within and | find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on faith there |
Tx:31.7 | will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to | find. Yet this is not the only outcome which your learning can |
Tx:31.30 | and orders that the world be like itself—a place where nothing can | find mercy or survive the ravages of fear except in murder and in |
Tx:31.38 | step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to learn to | find a road the world does not contain. The search for different |
Tx:31.39 | it. This makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to | find this course to be too difficult to learn, let me repeat that to |
Tx:31.50 | roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit | find a way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone if |
Tx:31.56 | great preoccupation of the world. And everyone believes that he must | find the answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen as |
Tx:31.64 | will undo and let you see another world your eyes could never | find. Be not concerned how this could ever be. You do not understand |
Tx:31.94 | Let us be glad that we can walk the world and | find so many chances to perceive another situation where God's gift |
W1:I.4 | great specificity. Each one applies to every situation in which you | find yourself and to everything you see in it. Each day's exercises |
W1:I.5 | Some of the ideas you will | find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling. It does |
W1:4.1 | not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You will | find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they |
W1:4.5 | Further, since these exercises are the first of their kind, you may | find the suspension of judgment in connection with thoughts |
W1:5.5 | In these exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may | find it hard to be indiscriminate and to avoid giving greater weight |
W1:5.8 | You may also | find yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived |
W1:8.4 | your mind for the usual minute or so, merely noting the thoughts you | find there. Name each one by the central figure or theme it contains, |
W1:8.10 | This can be done four or five times during the day, unless you | find it irritates you. If you find it trying, three or four times are |
W1:8.10 | five times during the day, unless you find it irritates you. If you | find it trying, three or four times are sufficient. You might find it |
W1:8.10 | If you find it trying, three or four times are sufficient. You might | find it helpful, however, to include your irritation, or any emotion |
W1:10.6 | judgment. Try to avoid classification of any kind. In fact, if you | find it helpful to do so, you might imagine that you are watching an |
W1:12.9 | for today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You may | find even this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you |
W1:13.8 | You may | find it difficult to avoid resistance in one form or another to this |
W1:14.2 | have more than three practice periods with today's idea unless you | find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because you really |
W1:16.4 | search. This is quite difficult until you get used to it. You will | find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial |
W1:16.9 | Four or five practice periods are recommended if you | find them relatively effortless. If strain is experienced, three will |
W1:22.2 | news to hear that it is not real? Is it not a happy discovery to | find that you can escape? You made what you would destroy— |
W1:26.12 | anticipated outcomes for each situation continues, you will probably | find some of them, especially those which occur to you toward the |
W1:29.2 | You will probably | find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it |
W1:29.2 | find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may | find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, and even objectionable. |
W1:32.4 | not less than three required. More than five can be utilized if you | find the exercises restful. To facilitate this, select a time when |
W1:33.2 | these practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you | find profitable, though unhurried applications are essential. |
W1:34.7 | anxiety, or worry, use the idea in its original form. If you | find you need more than one application of today's idea to help you |
W1:39.10 | You may | find these sessions easier if you intersperse the applications with |
W1:39.10 | repeat today's idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also | find it helpful to include a few short intervals in which you just |
W1:40.2 | close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably | find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in a number of |
W1:41.6 | From time to time, you may repeat today's idea if you | find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away |
W1:42.2 | and anywhere, wherever you are and in whatever circumstances you | find yourself. Your passage through time and space is not random. You |
W1:42.8 | exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you | find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice period |
W1:42.8 | then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to strain in order to | find suitable thoughts. |
W1:43.11 | If you should | find your mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of thoughts which |
W1:43.12 | may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which you | find yourself during the day. When you are with someone else, for |
W1:44.4 | five minutes. A longer time is highly recommended, but only if you | find the time merely slipping by with little or no sense of strain. |
W1:44.5 | ready to learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may | find that you will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very |
W1:44.6 | recognizing that its opposition and fears are meaningless. You might | find it helpful to remind yourself from time to time that to reach |
W1:44.9 | closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will probably | find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try, however, to |
W1:45.7 | My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to | find them. |
W1:55.5 | of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to | find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot |
W1:61.8 | here. These two practice periods may be longer than the rest if you | find them helpful and want to extend them. |
W1:62.2 | That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to | find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking |

W1:65.1 | is the one God gave me.” This is the only way in which you can | find peace of mind. |
W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to | find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to |
W1:66.3 | to its attacks on truth. We will merely be glad that we can | find out what truth is. |
W1:66.11 | has taken in your mind and the many ways in which you tried to | find salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you |
W1:66.11 | which you tried to find salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you | find it? Were you happy? Did they bring you peace? |
W1:67.5 | must be in you. And somewhere in your mind, It is there for you to | find. |
W1:67.6 | You may | find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to time to |
W1:67.6 | from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also | find that this is not sufficient and that you need to continue adding |
W1:68.4 | will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will | find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget |
W1:68.5 | however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we will try to | find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even by ever |
W1:68.6 | you regard as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy to | find. Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against |
W1:70.12 | reach the light in you, which is where your salvation is. You cannot | find it in the clouds that surround the light, and it is in them you |
W1:71.5 | is in strict accord with the ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not | find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find |
W1:71.5 | do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not | find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for |
W1:72.14 | salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will | find. |
W1:72.15 | We are no longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to | find it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer |
W1:73.9 | the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we will | find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your will |
W1:73.9 | happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your will to | find and remember what it is your will to remember. No idle wishes |
W1:74.15 | Then try to | find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, with eyes |
W1:76.2 | For if you could, you would forever seek where it is not and never | find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is |
W1:77.9 | will recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to | find them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive them whenever |
W1:79.3 | That is the position in which you | find yourselves now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain |
W1:R2.2 | and then close your eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you | find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the |
W1:83.5 | Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would | find happiness. |
W1:84.3 | You might | find these specific forms helpful in applying the idea: |
W1:92.9 | to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we try today to | find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, |
W1:92.10 | light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to | find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are |
W1:96.5 | Spirit makes use of mind as means to | find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves the Spirit is at |
W1:96.9 | We will attempt today to | find this thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him |
W1:96.14 | have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to | find illusions in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones |
W1:96.14 | are your thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is among them; | find it there. |
W1:99.20 | on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may | find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the Son of |
W1:100.9 | Now let us try to | find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will for us. |
W1:100.9 | us and all the world God's Will for us. It is your function that you | find it here and that you find it now. For this you came. Let this |
W1:100.9 | Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that you | find it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you |
W1:100.10 | are essential to His plan. You are His messenger today. And you must | find what He would have you give. |
W1:101.2 | for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and | find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which evens the account |
W1:101.9 | So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to | find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these |
W1:102.6 | mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to | find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share God's |
W1:104.7 | where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to which we come to | find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence today, |
W1:108.12 | and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will | find you have exact return, for this is what you asked. It might be |
W1:110.10 | Seek Him today, and | find Him. He will be your savior from all idols you have made. For |
W1:110.10 | He will be your savior from all idols you have made. For when you | find Him you will understand how worthless are your idols and how |
W1:121.11 | him somewhere—a little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to | find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly picture |
W1:122.5 | Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You will not | find another one instead. God's plan for your salvation cannot |
W1:124.10 | hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will | find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will |
W1:127.5 | what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the world to | find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is |
W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to | find a world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures |
W1:129.3 | hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to | find all things you really want and know they have no ending, and |
W1:130.9 | the strength God offers me and see no value in this world that I may | find my freedom and deliverance. |
W1:131.1 | is the setting of his searching and the place to which he comes to | find stability? |
W1:131.5 | you must. Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven and must | find the goal you really want. No one can fail to want this goal and |
W1:131.6 | nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will | find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not |
W1:131.10 | abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot | find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your |
W1:131.15 | Seek for that door and | find it. But before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can |
W1:131.17 | gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you will | find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the |
W1:131.19 | Today I seek and | find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can |
W1:132.3 | future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to | find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is |
W1:132.3 | past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you | find escape and give it to the world. |
W1:132.8 | Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to teach it. Others | find it in experience that is not of this world, which shows them |
W1:132.8 | the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some will | find it in this course and in the exercises that we do today. |
W1:133.14 | is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to | find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach |
W1:133.16 | and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to | find. |
W1:134.3 | The major difficulty that you | find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still believe |
W1:134.9 | of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very simple way to | find the door to true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in |
W1:140.8 | all illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to | find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father |
W1:153.2 | within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to | find escape from its imaginings. |
W1:153.15 | as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we will | find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor |
W1:155.2 | they can be illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet when they | find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it |
W1:155.3 | those to look upon who chose to come and have not yet rejoiced to | find they were mistaken in the choice. They cannot learn directly |
W1:155.9 | now, yet carefully because this path is new to you. And you may | find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let |
W1:160.6 | What does he search for now? What can he | find? A stranger to himself can find no home wherever he may look, |
W1:160.6 | does he search for now? What can he find? A stranger to himself can | find no home wherever he may look, for he has made return impossible. |
W1:166.4 | he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he believes that he can | find. Without the world he made is he an outcast, homeless and |
W1:170.14 | who render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we | find our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. |
W1:R5.15 | disappears as we approach the Source of meaning. It is here that we | find rest. |
W1:182.3 | about in endless search, seeking in darkness what he cannot | find, not recognizing what it is he seeks. A thousand homes he makes, |
W1:182.4 | Perhaps you think it is your childhood home that you would | find again. The childhood of your body and its place of shelter are a |
W1:183.3 | holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand you | find a star; a miracle of grace. The sick arise, healed of their |
W1:185.8 | devote your practice periods to careful searching of your mind to | find the dreams you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? |
W1:185.11 | No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to | find it. For he merely asks that he deceive himself no longer by |
W1:186.8 | And so we | find our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all |
W1:188.2 | This light cannot be lost. Why wait to | find it in the future or believe it has been lost already or was |
W1:189.9 | knows the way to him. He does not need His Son to show Him how to | find His way. Through every opened door His love shines outward from |
W1:189.10 | of what we are or who created us. Yours is the way that we would | find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as |
W1:191.5 | But let today's idea | find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the |
W1:191.13 | till you are free. They cannot see the mercy of the world until you | find it for yourself. They suffer pain until you have denied its hold |
W1:195.4 | love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will | find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while |
W1:195.7 | for them. For if we can direct them to the peace that we would | find, the way is opening at last to us. An ancient door is swinging |
W1:197.1 | and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again unless you | find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your gifts must be |
W1:198.4 | God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to | find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong, a thousand other |
W1:198.9 | with you. The truth bestows these words upon your mind that you may | find the key to light and let the darkness end: |
W1:199.6 | Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him they | find what they have sought. The body's purpose now is unambiguous. |
W1:200.1 | Seek you no further. You will not | find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save |
W1:200.1 | and doubt. Seek you no further. There is nothing else for you to | find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain. |
W1:200.3 | yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no longer what you cannot | find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek |
W1:200.3 | 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 easily to |
W1:200.4 | where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is given you to | find the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a prison house |
W1:200.5 | must 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 |
W1:200.7 | Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to | find in such a world? It cannot have reality because it never was |
W1:200.7 | can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way and | find the peace of God. |
W1:208.1 | let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness, we will | find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God |
W1:217.1 | for my salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I | find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free. |
W2:I.1 | enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and | find the end toward which our practicing was geared. |
W2:I.7 | in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought to | find our way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know |
W2:221.2 | our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and | find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal |
W2:225.2 | Brother, we | find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace |
W2:227.2 | And so today we | find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son |
W2:229.1 | I seek my own Identity and | find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now |
W2:230.2 | there unchanged. I am as You created me. I need but call on You to | find the peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your Son. |
W2:WS.1 | Salvation is a promise made by God that you would | find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees |
W2:231.1 | sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to | find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth |
W2:231.2 | Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given us to | find. |
W2:235.1 | I need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness to | find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that |
W2:WIW.3 | The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And now they go to | find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the |
W2:242.2 | needs. And You will give us everything we want and that will help us | find the way to You. |
W2:246.1 | Let me not think that I can | find the way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to |
W2:251.1 | need. Now have I everything that I could want. And now at last I | find myself at peace. |
W2:256.1 | not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to | find a way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could |
W2:256.2 | in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice and | find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us. |
W2:260.2 | Now is our Source remembered, and therein we | find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source |
W2:WIB.5 | safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and | find your Self. |
W2:261.1 | attacked. Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to | find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my |
W2:261.1 | to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I | find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is |
W2:261.2 | my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and | find the Son whom You created as my Self. |
W2:269.1 | way to show me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is given me to | find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me and through |
W2:WIC.5 | the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us seek to | find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory |
W2:280.2 | Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I | find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and |
W2:286.1 | You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to | find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my |
W2:287.1 | I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and | find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I rather |
W2:289.2 | Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to | find the loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and |
W2:292.1 | be opposing 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 |
W2:292.1 | For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will | find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is done. |
W2:296.1 | world 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. |
W2:296.2 | we allow His teaching to persuade the world through us to seek and | find the easy path to God! |
W2:304.2 | Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may | find again the memory of You and of Your Son as You created him. |
W2:309.1 | to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to | find my will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within |
W2:309.2 | serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I | find my true Identity. |
W2:318.1 | means by which God's Son is saved because salvation's purpose is to | find the sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was created as the |
W2:321.1 | what made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to | find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice |
W2:321.1 | myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to | find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my |
W2:321.2 | for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to | find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. |
W2:322.1 | I sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I | find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining |
W2:325.1 | the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to | find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed |
W2:325.1 | before he journeys on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and | find the way to Heaven and to God. |
W2:328.1 | God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we | find is sickness, suffering and loss, and death. This is not what our |
W2:328.1 | us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to | find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go |
W2:329.2 | by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. Through it we | find our way at last to God. |
W2:331.2 | Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may | find the peace of God. Amen. |
W2:334.1 | I will not wait another day to | find the treasures which my Father offers me. Illusions must be vain |
W2:334.1 | and choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to | find the treasures God has given me. |
W2:335.2 | reminds me that he was created one with me and like myself. In him I | find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. |
W2:335.2 | with me and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I | find the memory of You as well. |
W2:336.1 | lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and look within, to | find what it has vainly sought without. For here and only here is |
W2:336.2 | of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father, look within and | find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains |
W2:340.1 | His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice directing him to | find Christ's vision through forgiveness and be free forever from all |
W2:345.2 | light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will | find rest today, for we will offer what we have received. |
W2:346.1 | abide in You and know no laws except Your law of Love. And I would | find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the |
W2:349.1 | I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love and give what I would | find and make my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as |
W2:352.1 | reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to | find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this |
W2:352.1 | You and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and | find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity and find in |
W2:352.1 | and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity and | find in Him the memory of You. |
W2:355.1 | sure my 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 |
W2:357.1 | as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to | find the way to You as You appointed that the way shall be: “Behold |
W2:FL.2 | His is the only way to | find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone |

Tx:10.76 | one thought you hold is wholly true. The recognition of this is your | firm beginning. You are not misguided; you have accepted no guide at |

Tx:14.28 | is lost from sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with | firm belief. Bring them together, and the fact of their complete |

Tx:6.10 | to teach it to our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but | first believe that it is true for you, or you will teach amiss. |
Tx:6.26 | you try to keep the fact that you must have attacked yourself | first out of awareness and thus imagine that you have made yourself |
Tx:6.45 | Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks | first because it is capricious and does not mean its maker well. That |
Tx:6.46 | are separate and outside the Mind of God. The ego, then, raised the | first question that was ever asked, but one which it can never |
Tx:6.47 | fact that the ego does not know. The Holy Spirit does not speak | first, but He always answers. Everyone has called upon Him for help |
Tx:6.51 | you are is perfectly certain. There is no doubt there because the | first question was never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, |
Tx:6.69 | than take the next step towards its resolution. Having taken the | first step, however, they will be helped. Once they have chosen what |
Tx:6.71 | begin at that level. Strengthening motivation for change is their | first and foremost goal. It is also their last and final one. |
Tx:6.72 | produce fundamental change, because the mind is fundamental. The | first step in the reversal or undoing process, then, is the undoing |
Tx:6.72 | the undoing of the getting concept. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit's | first lesson was “to have, give all to all.” We said that this is apt |
Tx:6.73 | is, “having” appears to be the opposite of “being.” Therefore, the | first lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is being |
Tx:6.73 | their motivation. This is the real reason why in many respects the | first lesson is the hardest to learn. Still strongly aware of the ego |
Tx:6.74 | Upside-down as always, the ego perceives the | first lesson as insane. In fact this is its only alternative here |
Tx:6.79 | being are still not equated. It is, however, more advanced than the | first step, which is really only a thought reversal. The second step |
Tx:6.81 | progress is intermittent, but the second step is easier than the | first because it follows. The very fact that you have accepted that |
Tx:6.86 | something you must be vigilant against. It has advanced far from the | first lesson, which was primarily a reversal and also from the |
Tx:6.86 | step, which follows from the second as the second follows from the | first, emphasizes the dichotomy between the desirable and the |
Tx:6.87 | While the | first step seems to increase conflict and the second step still |
Tx:6.90 | You learn | first that having rests on giving and not on getting. Next you learn |
Tx:7.7 | creations are changeless. He does nothing last, because He created | first and for always. It must be understood that the word “first” as |
Tx:7.7 | that the word “first” as applied to Him is not a time concept. He is | first in the sense that He is the first in the Holy Trinity itself. |
Tx:7.7 | Him is not a time concept. He is first in the sense that He is the | first in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the Prime Creator, because He |
Tx:7.12 | Conflict can seem to be interpersonal, but it must be intrapersonal | first. |
Tx:7.38 | Seek ye | first the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is where the laws of God |
Tx:8.6 | The | first change that must be introduced is a change in direction. A |
Tx:8.57 | yours. You have attacked him, but you must have attacked yourself | first. Do not see him this way for your own salvation, which must |
Tx:9.12 | always leads you. The ego's plan is to have you see error clearly | first and then overlook it. Yet how can you overlook what you have |
Tx:9.17 | eternity. This is the Second Coming, which was made for you as the | First was created. The Second Coming is merely the return of sense. |
Tx:9.36 | way of giving acceptance and receiving it. In time, the giving comes | first, though they are simultaneous in eternity, where they cannot be |
Tx:9.71 | God, you will understand why it is that you always attack yourself | first. |
Tx:9.92 | create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be acknowledged | first, for the separation was a descent from magnitude to littleness. |
Tx:10.16 | If sickness is separation, the will to heal and be healed is the | first step toward recognizing what you truly want. Every attack is a |
Tx:10.34 | there is a strong tendency to harbor it within. It is difficult at | first to realize that this is exactly the same thing, for there is no |
Tx:10.39 | of the ego will be our lesson for a while, for we must look | first at this to look beyond it since you have made it real. We will |
Tx:11.25 | to your notion of salvation. The question is always two-fold— | first, what is to be saved, and second, how can it be saved? |
Tx:11.45 | cancel out all reinforcement is in yourself. For you are always the | first point of your attack, and if this has never been, it has no |
Tx:11.73 | without and within, for you will see it without because you saw it | first within. Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you |
Tx:12.35 | own private world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself | first, for what you attack is not in others. Its only reality is in |
Tx:12.67 | You will | first dream of peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange of |
Tx:12.67 | You will first dream of peace and then awaken to it. Your | first exchange of what you made for what you want is the exchange of |
Tx:13.48 | what you have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have come | first to yourself. And you must also have accepted it as yours, for |
Tx:13.54 | happily accomplished. You who are steadfastly devoted to misery must | first recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy Spirit |
Tx:13.86 | see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is offered | first to be received, even as God gave it first to His Son. The first |
Tx:13.86 | Yet truth is offered first to be received, even as God gave it | first to His Son. The first in time means nothing, but the First in |
Tx:13.86 | first to be received, even as God gave it first to His Son. The | first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the |
Tx:13.86 | gave it 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. |
Tx:13.86 | nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both | First and One. Beyond the First, there is no other, for there is no |
Tx:13.86 | in eternity is God the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the | First, there is no other, for there is no order, no second or third |
Tx:13.86 | other, for there is no order, no second or third and nothing but the | First. |
Tx:13.87 | You who belong to the | First Cause, created by Him like unto Himself and part of Him, are |
Tx:15.24 | must learn to remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at | first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true |
Tx:15.50 | have also judged against both. Yet you had judged against yourself | first, or you would never have imagined that you needed them as they |
Tx:15.69 | know, but you will become willing to find out if you are willing, | first, to perceive what you have made of them. |
Tx:16.13 | 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 been made. When |
Tx:16.43 | In looking at the special relationship, it is necessary | first to realize that it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety, |
Tx:16.47 | how it is accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that completion lies | first in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego, |
Tx:17.23 | Give the past to Him Who can change your mind about it for you. But | first be sure you fully realize what you have made the past to |
Tx:17.44 | abruptly shifted to the exact opposite of what it was. This is the | first result of offering the relationship to the Holy Spirit to use |
Tx:17.58 | In any situation in which you are uncertain, the | first thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I want to come of |
Tx:18.6 | That was the | first projection of error outward. The world arose to hide it and |
Tx:18.20 | You would have used them to remain asleep. We once said that the | first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear |
Tx:18.35 | did not make the learner, nor can you make him different. Would you | first make a miracle yourself and then expect one to be made for you? |
Tx:18.36 | with God's. Atonement cannot come to those who think that they must | first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple |
Tx:19.38 | will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply within must | first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed before it. This |
Tx:19.40 | The | first obstacle that peace must flow across is your desire to get rid |
Tx:19.41 | remnant of attack you cherish still against each other that is the | first obstacle the peace in you encounters in its going forth. This |
Tx:19.59 | We said that peace must | first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of it. Where |
Tx:19.59 | obstacle that peace must flow across, and closely related to the | first, is the belief that the body is valuable for what it offers. |
Tx:19.63 | flows across all else. The second obstacle is no more solid than the | first. For you will neither to get rid of peace nor limit it. What |
Tx:19.83 | the power to release from corruption. What better way to teach the | first and fundamental principle in a course on miracles than by |
Tx:19.83 | you the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished | first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so |
Tx:19.97 | eyes, you will be 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 |
Tx:20.8 | forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as whole. But look you | first upon the altar in your chosen home and see what you have laid |
Tx:20.18 | it or it to them. And so they saw that it was in them, not deciding | first where they would have it be. Their looking merely asked a |
Tx:20.46 | than the experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The | first is based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The |
Tx:20.67 | Vision will come to you at | first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is given |
Tx:21.18 | because you want it. Yet for this, the power of your wanting must | first be recognized. You must accept its strength and not its |
Tx:21.36 | goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But | first they chose to recognize how much their faith had limited their |
Tx:21.47 | part hears as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since | first the ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its |
Tx:21.70 | in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only those who | first believe that they are little could see attraction there. |
Tx:21.74 | would surely bid him seek no longer what is not there to find. Yet | first he must be willing to perceive a world where it is not. It is |
Tx:21.76 | You have already answered the | first three questions but not yet the last. For this one still seems |
Tx:22.14 | Here is the | first direct perception that you have made. You made it through |
Tx:22.39 | It is but the | first few steps along the right way that seem hard, for you have |
Tx:23.20 | The | first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone. Like |
Tx:23.21 | Think how this seems to interfere with the | first principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth |
Tx:23.22 | deserves attack and death. This principle, closely related to the | first, is the demand that errors call for punishment and not |
Tx:24.34 | of destruction, it must kill, and you are drawn to it to kill it | first. And such is guilt's attraction. Here is death enthroned as |
Tx:24.43 | but to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your brother | first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in |
Tx:24.45 | there to see and hear and love and follow home? He looked upon you | first but recognized that you were not complete. And so He sought for |
Tx:25.82 | be vengeance, which at best can bring another problem added to the | first, in which the murder is not obvious. The Holy Spirit's problem |
Tx:25.84 | and attack. No one can be unjust to you, unless you have decided | first to be unjust. And then must problems rise to block your way and |
Tx:26.32 | the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in which the | first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held |
Tx:26.32 | the Correction for that one and all of them that came within the | first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it |
Tx:27.14 | truth. Good cannot be returned for evil, for forgiveness does not | first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My |
Tx:27.32 | for more than everything? Yet true undoing must be kind. And so the | first replacement for your picture is another picture of another kind. |
Tx:27.43 | the answers merely raise another question, though they leave the | first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the question to |
Tx:27.52 | to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. Your brother | first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and |
Tx:27.67 | seen a need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was | first beheld. In separation from your brother was the first attack |
Tx:27.67 | your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your brother was the | first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the world bears |
Tx:27.81 | for the part you see is but the second part, whose cause lies in the | first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack |
Tx:28.23 | dreamer could not be the maker of the dream. Effect and cause are | first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; |

Tx:28.28 | is not our concern. For you have barely started to allow your | first uncertain steps to be directed up the ladder separation led you |
Tx:29.20 | beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior | first, before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would |
Tx:30.6 | do. And what you hear may not resolve the problem as you saw it | first. This leads to fear because it contradicts what you perceive, |
Tx:30.6 | There are rules by which this will not happen. But it does occur at | first, while you are learning how to hear. |
Tx:30.9 | serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition will not | first arise and then become a problem in itself. |
Tx:30.28 | rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider once again the very | first of the decisions which are offered here. |
Tx:30.29 | really is with what you choose to make them. That is really all. The | first rule, then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a simple |
Tx:30.57 | as they really are. And it is recognized that all things must be | first forgiven, and then understood. |
Tx:30.63 | forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted | first. And then will come the knowledge They are One. |
Tx:30.74 | that can not be overlooked. For if there were, it would be necessary | first there be some sin which stands beyond forgiveness. There would |
Tx:31.4 | suited you. And every lesson that makes up the world arises from the | first accomplishment of learning—an enormity so great the Holy |
Tx:31.14 | of what you are. For there are steps in its relinquishment. The | first is a decision that you make. But afterwards the truth is given |
Tx:31.26 | to make a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is | first one thing that must be overlearned. It must become a habit of |
Tx:31.26 | of response so typical of everything you do that it becomes your | first response to all temptation and to every situation that occurs. |
Tx:31.44 | to serve two purposes, but one of which the mind can recognize. The | first presents the face of innocence, the aspect acted on. It is this |
Tx:31.45 | to those who would be generous and good. This aspect never makes the | first attack. But every day a hundred little things make small |
Tx:31.54 | of [the] perceiver's mind. Yet who was it that did the choosing | first? If you are what you chose your brother be, alternatives were |
Tx:31.54 | be, alternatives were there to choose among, and someone must have | first decided on the one to choose and let the others go. |
Tx:31.55 | view. The main advantage of the shifting to the second from the | first is that you somehow entered in the choice by your decision. But |
Tx:31.75 | holy ones especially entrusted to his care. And this he learns when | first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself and sees the |
W1:I.3 | in the world. The workbook is divided into two sections, the | first dealing with the undoing of what you see now and the second |
W1:2.1 | The exercises with this idea are the same as those for the | first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the |
W1:4.3 | time in somewhat different form. The aim here is to train you in the | first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the |
W1:4.3 | the goal of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. It is a | first attempt in the long-range purpose of learning to see the |
W1:4.5 | pointlessly preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are the | first of their kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in |
W1:5.1 | the day. Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the | first step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same. |
W1:5.4 | this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you | first search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you believe |
W1:5.8 | perceived sources of upset than to others. If this occurs, think | first of this: |
W1:7.1 | This idea is particularly difficult to believe at | first. Yet it is the rationale for all of the preceding ones. |
W1:7.8 | it. Yet that is precisely why you need new ideas about time. This | first time idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first. |
W1:7.8 | This first time idea is not really so strange as it may sound at | first. Look at a cup, for example. |
W1:8.3 | rather than believing that it is filled with real ideas, is the | first step to opening the way to vision. |
W1:11.1 | This is the | first idea we have had which is related to a major phase of the |
W1:13.8 | any signs of overt or covert fear which it may arouse. This is our | first attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect relationship of |
W1:15.4 | In practicing the idea for today, repeat it | first to yourself, and then apply it to whatever you see around you, |
W1:16.5 | In the practice periods, | first repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold |
W1:17.1 | you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that comes | first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other |
W1:19.2 | fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at | first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of |
W1:19.3 | are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The idea is to be repeated | first, and then the mind should be carefully searched for the |
W1:20.2 | This is our | first attempt to introduce structure. Do not misconstrue it as an |
W1:23.5 | you see, because its cause can be changed. This change requires, | first, that the cause be identified and then let go, so that it can |
W1:23.5 | cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The | first two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final |
W1:23.5 | one does not. Your images have already been replaced. By taking the | first two steps, you will see that this is so. |
W1:26.7 | First, name the situation: | |
W1:28.7 | practice periods today in which the idea for the day is stated | first and then applied to whatever you see in looking about you. Not |
W1:36.3 | First, close your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times | |
W1:37.1 | This idea contains the | first glimmerings of your true function in the world or why you are |
W1:39.10 | thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at | first. It will become much easier as your mind becomes more |
W1:41.4 | and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our | first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and to go |
W1:41.7 | is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the | first time it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is always |
W1:43.11 | seem to be unable to think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the | first phase, and then try the second phase again. Do not allow any |
W1:43.11 | which you become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts. Return to the | first phase of the exercises as often as necessary to prevent this. |
W1:46.6 | The purpose of the | first phase of today's practice is to put you in the best position to |
W1:R1.1 | will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting with the | first and ending with the fiftieth. There will be a few short |
W1:R1.6 | suggested then. We are now emphasizing the relationships among the | first fifty of the ideas we have covered and the cohesiveness of the |
W1:61.9 | As a bringer of salvation, this is obviously necessary. This is the | first of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks. |
W1:64.10 | about them and about nothing else. This will be difficult at | first particularly, since you are not proficient in the mind |
W1:65.6 | At | first, make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the |
W1:66.7 | even if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the | first two thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let |
W1:66.8 | The | first premise is that God gives you only happiness. This could be |
W1:66.8 | definition of Him which you are believing if you do not accept the | first premise. |
W1:71.9 | become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the | first. And in the first is your full release from all your own insane |
W1:71.9 | or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the first. And in the | first is your full release from all your own insane attempts and mad |
W1:76.1 | are not bound by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must | first realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it |
W1:78.7 | will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind, | first as you now consider him. We will review his faults, the |
W1:R2.2 | times if you wish, and then close your eyes and listen. Repeat the | first phase if you find your mind wandering, but try to spend the |
W1:90.5 | only because I am misusing time. I believe that the problem comes | first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see |
W1:93.8 | periods today, which would be most profitable if done for the | first five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the |
W1:93.12 | You may not be willing or even able to use the | first five minutes of each hour for these exercises. Try, however, to |
W1:94.3 | Today we will again devote the | first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the |
W1:94.7 | If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the | first five minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself hourly: |
W1:95.4 | The use of the | first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for |
W1:95.7 | for a while and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the | first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful since it |
W1:95.11 | a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes based on the | first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, |
W1:97.3 | use of time but is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the | first and last; the first that is the last, for it is one. |
W1:97.3 | is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the first and last; the | first that is the last, for it is one. |
W1:106.7 | you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you receive them | first and thus become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus |
W1:108.4 | of one Thought Whose truth does not depend on which is seen as | first, nor which appears to be in second place. Here it is understood |
W1:R3.5 | are assigned. Read over the ideas and comments which are written | first in each day's exercise. And then begin to think about them |
W1:R3.8 | We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the | first five minutes of the day to your review and also give the last |
W1:124.5 | as well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it | first within ourselves. |
W1:124.8 | a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is our | first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor |
W1:133.7 | First, if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you | |
W1:134.5 | view their sins are real are pitifully mocked and twice condemned— | first by themselves for what they think they did and once again by |
W1:135.5 | Let us consider | first what you defend. It must be something that is very weak and |
W1:R4.12 | Each day of practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating | first the thought that made the day a special time of blessing and of |
W1:152.3 | heard before, but may not yet accept both parts of it. Without the | first, the second has no meaning, but without the second is the first |
W1:152.3 | the first, the second has no meaning, but without the second is the | first no longer true. Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be |
W1:154.6 | the world appoints. The messages which they deliver are intended | first for them. And it is only as they can accept them for themselves |
W1:154.6 | they did not write the messages they bear, but they become their | first receivers in the truest sense, receiving to prepare themselves |
W1:159.1 | No one can give what he has not received. To give a thing requires | first you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and |
W1:161.12 | one brother, symbol of the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him | first as clearly as you can in that same form to which you are |
W1:168.4 | now to give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision | first will come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you |
W1:170.5 | way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. | First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For it is you who |
W1:170.5 | must leave their source. For it is you who make attack and must have | first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside yourself and separate |
W1:I2.3 | And so we start our journey beyond words by concentrating | first on what impedes our progress still. Experience of what exists |
W1:181.3 | Therefore in practicing today, we | first let all such little focuses give way to our great need to let |
W1:184.13 | of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the word. But | first you must accept One Name for all reality, and realize the many |
W1:187.1 | make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that you must | first possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which |
W1:187.3 | Ideas must | first belong to you before you give them. If you are to save the |
W1:187.3 | to you before you give them. If you are to save the world, you | first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that |
W1:187.8 | and correction must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given | first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No form of sacrifice |
W1:196.2 | Perhaps at | first you will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all |
W1:196.7 | To question it at all, its form must | first be changed at least as much as will permit fear of retaliation |
W2:I.11 | one of the holy and blessed instants in the day. We give the | first of these instructions now. |
W2:284.1 | suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. Such is the truth—at | first to be but said and then repeated many times and next to be |
W2:288.1 | I cannot come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I | first must recognize what You created one with me. My brother's is |
W2:WILJ.1 | never changed. And this the judgment is in which perception ends. At | first you see a world which has accepted this as true, projected from |
W2:326.2 | Let us today behold earth disappear, at | first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy |
W2:328.1 | What seems to be the second place is | first, for all things we perceive are upside-down until we listen to |
W2:336.1 | for perception's ending. Knowledge is restored after perception | first is changed and then gives way entirely to what remains forever |
W2:WIM.4 | The miracle is taken | first on faith because to ask for it implies the mind has been made |
W2:357.1 | house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, | first in my brother, then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to |
M:3.4 | teaching-learning situation and then appear to separate. As with the | first level, these meetings are not accidental, nor is what appears |
M:4.5 | First, they must go through what might be called “a period of | |
M:4.17 | agrees to look past them, he finds nothing was there. Slowly at | first, he lets himself be undeceived. But he learns faster as his |
M:5.4 | to me at all in this,” and he is healed. But to say this one must | first recognize certain facts. First, it is obvious that decisions |
M:5.4 | is healed. But to say this one must first recognize certain facts. | First, it is obvious that decisions are of the mind, not of the body. |

M:7.4 | it seems to be just the opposite. It does appear unreasonable at | first to be told that continued concern is attack. It has all the |
M:9.1 | It is most unlikely that changes in his attitudes would not be the | first step in the newly-made teacher of God's training. There is |
M:13.1 | replaced by a corrective device, another illusion that replaces the | first, so both can finally disappear. The first illusion, which must |
M:13.1 | illusion that replaces the first, so both can finally disappear. The | first illusion, which must be displaced before another thought system |
M:17.1 | thus becomes a major lesson for the teacher of God to master. His | first responsibility in this is not to attack it. If a magic thought |
M:19.2 | is no inherent conflict between justice and truth; one is but the | first small step in the direction of the other. The path becomes |
M:20.2 | First, how can the peace of God be recognized? God's peace is | |
M:20.2 | how can the peace of God be recognized? God's peace is recognized at | first by just one thing—in every way it is totally unlike all |

W1:8.10 | This can be done four or | five times during the day, unless you find it irritates you. If you |

W1:16.9 | Four or | five practice periods are recommended if you find them relatively |
W1:21.1 | to applying the idea to particular situations as they arise. | Five practice periods are urged, allowing a full minute for each. |
W1:22.3 | Look at the world about you at least | five times today, for at least a minute each time. As your eyes move |
W1:23.6 | Besides using it throughout the day as the need arises, | five practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you |

W1:26.11 | If you are doing the exercises properly, you should have some | five or six distressing possibilities available for each situation |

W1:32.4 | For the two longer practice periods, three to | five minutes are recommended, with not less than three required. More |

W1:33.1 | perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full | five minutes should be devoted to the morning and evening application. |
W1:34.3 | Some | five minutes of mind searching are required for each of the longer |
W1:37.4 | Today's four longer exercise periods, each to involve three to | five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for |
W1:38.4 | In the four longer practice periods, each preferably to last a full | five minutes, repeat the idea for today, close your eyes, and then |
W1:39.5 | A full | five minutes are urged for the four longer practice periods for |
W1:41.5 | as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to | five minutes with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice |
W1:43.5 | short time, applying the idea specifically to what you see. Four or | five subjects for this phase of the exercises are sufficient. You |
W1:44.4 | Have at least three practice periods today, each lasting three to | five minutes. A longer time is highly recommended, but only if you |
W1:45.6 | the idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or | five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself |
W1:R1.1 | we will have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover | five of the ideas already presented, starting with the first and |
W1:R1.2 | Begin the day by reading the | five ideas, with the comments included. Thereafter, it is not |
W1:R1.2 | Do this as often as possible during the day. If any one of the | five ideas appeals to you more than the others, concentrate on that |
W1:67.7 | because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. Four or | five times an hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most |
W1:76.14 | repeat this dedication as often as possible today—at least four or | five times an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to |
W1:91.14 | Five or six times an hour at reasonably regular intervals remind | |
W1:93.8 | periods today, which would be most profitable if done for the first | five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth |
W1:93.12 | You may not be willing or even able to use the first | five minutes of each hour for these exercises. Try, however, to do so |
W1:94.3 | Today we will again devote the first | five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in |
W1:94.7 | If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first | five minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself hourly: |
W1:95.4 | The use of the first | five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day |
W1:95.7 | We will therefore keep to the | five minutes an hour practice periods for a while and urge you to |
W1:95.7 | for a while and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first | five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful since it |
W1:96.9 | guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self. Our hourly | five minute practicing will be a search for Him within your mind. |
W1:96.16 | and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend | five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your mind and Self, |
W1:97.6 | The Holy Spirit will be glad to take | five minutes of each hour from your hands and carry them around this |
W1:98.5 | Is it not worth | five minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the |

W1:101.9 | the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these | five minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you laid upon yourself |
W1:102.7 | He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides these hourly | five minute rests, pause frequently today to tell yourself that you |
W1:104.4 | Our longer practice periods today, the hourly | five minutes given truth for your salvation, should begin with this: |
W1:105.11 | Spend your | five minutes thus with Him each time you can today, but do not think |
W1:106.11 | Be still and listen to the truth today. For each | five minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the |
W1:107.14 | carry to the world. They will increase with every gift you give of | five small minutes, and the errors that surround the world will be |
W1:108.10 | Then close your eyes, and for | five minutes think of what you would hold out to everyone to have it |
W1:109.8 | With each | five minutes that you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the |
W1:110.6 | For your | five minute practice periods, begin with this quotation from the text: |
W1:R3.5 | The format you should use for these reviews is this: devote | five minutes twice a day, or longer if you would prefer, to |
W1:R3.8 | We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the first | five minutes of the day to your review and also give the last five |
W1:R3.8 | first five minutes of the day to your review and also give the last | five minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be done, at |

Tx:7.104 | without fear, he associates fear with guidance and refuses to | follow any guidance at all. [If the result of this decision is |

Tx:16.57 | The decision whether or not to listen to this course and | follow it is but the choice between truth and illusion. For here is |

Tx:18.87 | its messages. Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to | follow the Holy Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to |
Tx:18.97 | firmly rooted in the world of light. From there, it calls to you to | follow the course it took, lifted high above the darkness and gently |

Tx:23.39 | From the belief in sin, the faith in chaos must | follow. It is because it follows that it seems to be a logical |
Tx:23.39 | conclusion—a valid step in ordered thought. The steps to chaos do | follow neatly from their starting point. Each is a different form in |
Tx:23.40 | you will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will | follow. Attack in any form has placed your foot upon the twisted |
Tx:23.41 | just as much as in another form which you do recognize, then it must | follow that you do not always recognize the source of pain. Attack in |
Tx:24.2 | is the outcome of belief and follows it as surely as does suffering | follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. There is no substitute for |

Tx:24.45 | yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and love and | follow home? He looked upon you first but recognized that you were |
Tx:27.64 | upon this “reasoning” exactly as it is could fail to see it does not | follow, and it makes no sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks |

W1:65.2 | Today and for a number of days to | follow, set aside ten to 15 minutes for a more sustained practice |
W1:70.7 | will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We will | follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be |
W1:71.6 | only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will attempt to | follow two plans for salvation which are diametrically opposed in all |
W1:77.4 | everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this world. They merely | follow from the laws of God. |
W1:R2.2 | The longer practice periods will | follow this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and |
W1:87.2 | of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will | follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows |
W1:95.9 | to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence and our failures to | follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea. |
W1:R3.1 | a special format for these practice periods, which you are urged to | follow just as closely as you can. We understand, of course, that it |

W1:124.3 | What we receive is our eternal gift to those who | follow after and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. |

W2:WIW.4 | a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. | Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice |
W2:258.2 | Our goal is but to | follow in the way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What |
W2:298.2 | Father, I come to You today, because I would not | follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And |
W2:324.1 | always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can | follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the way to You |
W2:324.1 | My brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely | follow in the way to You as You direct me and would have me go. |
W2:324.2 | So let us | follow One Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray |
W2:324.2 | except an instant from His loving hand. We walk together, for we | follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending sure and guarantees a |
W2:326.1 | 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 gather Your Effects |
W2:334.1 | Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to | follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to find the |
W2:352.1 | me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to | follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have within |
W2:FL.2 | serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together | follow in this way that truth points out to us. And let us be the |

M:I.4 | Everyone who follows the world's curriculum, and everyone here does | follow it until he changes his mind, teaches solely to convince |
M:4.11 | on trust. Once that has been achieved, the others cannot fail to | follow. Only the trusting can afford honesty, for only they can see |
M:4.16 | them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His gifts and | follow in His way because God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy |
M:5.7 | with this idea goes also all confusion about creation. Does not this | follow of necessity? Place cause and effect in their true sequence in |
M:7.2 | it and so used it. Now the teacher of God has only one course to | follow. He must use his reason to tell himself that he has given the |

M:23.3 | limitation. Would the greatest teacher be unavailable to those who | follow him? |
M:29.3 | have not thought of this aspect, but its centrality is obvious. To | follow the Holy Spirit's guidance is to let yourself be absolved of |

Tx:3.12 | out of the combined misprojections of a large number of my would-be | followers, has led many people to be bitterly afraid of God. This |
Tx:6.12 | who accept me as a model are literally my disciples. Disciples are | followers, but if the model they follow has chosen to save them pain |
Tx:8.86 | There has been a marked tendency on the part of many of the Bible's | followers and also its translators to be entirely literal about fear |
Tx:31.21 | Christ calls to all with equal tenderness, seeing no leaders and no | followers and hearing but one answer to them all. Because He hears |

Tx:1.50 | choice. A guide does not control, but he does direct, leaving the | following up to you. “Lead us not into temptation” means “guide us |

Tx:5.95 | and give it over to the Atonement in peace. Say to yourselves the | following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit |
Tx:7.107 | for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God which is joy. | Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the world and the |
Tx:8.1 | a way of holding on to deprivation. You cannot reasonably object to | following instructions in a course for knowing on the grounds that |
Tx:8.21 | either with pain or with joy, depending on which teacher you are | following. He will be imprisoned or released according to your |
Tx:8.114 | them, for only in this way can you learn how blessed you are. By | following this way, you are looking for the truth in you. This is not |
Tx:9.6 | this, not because you are being punished for it, but because you are | following the wrong guide and will lose your way. |
Tx:9.12 | The ego's plan, of course, makes no sense and will not work. By | following it, you will merely place yourself in an impossible |

W1:37.8 | with a repetition of the idea with your eyes closed and another | following immediately with your eyes open. |

W1:I2.1 | which makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to | following the way the course sets forth. |
W2:I.7 | and certain of Your coming. We have sought to find our way by | following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the way, but You |
M:4.2 | in time it can be said that the advanced teachers of God have the | following characteristics: |
M:29.3 | that lets the memory of love return to you. Do not, then, think that | following the Holy Spirit's guidance is necessary merely because of |
follows (49) | ||
Tx:1.62 | you first perceive the stimulus and then behave accordingly. It | follows, then, that: |
Tx:2.66 | not learn any more than it creates. As a learning device, it merely | follows the learner, but if it is falsely endowed with |
Tx:2.82 | the Atonement as the remedy. These steps can be summarized as | follows: |
Tx:2.105 | everything that man creates is necessarily a matter of will. It also | follows that whatever he creates is real in his own sight but not |
Tx:5.33 | of the Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because it | follows the laws of the Universe of which it is a part. Therefore, it |
Tx:5.61 | believes that this is what you did because it believes it is you. It | follows, then, that if you identify with the ego, you must perceive |
Tx:5.62 | by you. The classic picture of fear of retaliation from without then | follows because the severity of the guilt is so acute that it must be |
Tx:6.1 | conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack rather than of love | follows. What can be expected from insane premises except an insane |
Tx:6.81 | but the second step is easier than the first because it | follows. The very fact that you have accepted that is a demonstration |
Tx:6.86 | the identification of what is more desirable. This step, which | follows from the second as the second follows from the first, |
Tx:6.86 | desirable. This step, which follows from the second as the second | follows from the first, emphasizes the dichotomy between the |
Tx:6.95 | beginning the second step, but I also told you that the third one | follows it. The Holy Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow |
Tx:8.74 | A more honest statement would be as | follows: Those who want the ego are predisposed to defend it. |
Tx:9.73 | because you still believe that it can get you something you want. It | follows, then, that you want something other than peace of mind, but |
Tx:10.11 | your Father are one. God willed to create, and your will is His. It | follows, then, that you will to create since your will follows from |
Tx:10.11 | is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your will | follows from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must be |
Tx:15.4 | of death, which it craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who | follows the ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death |
Tx:15.60 | in your mind, experiencing not loss, but completion. From this it | follows you can only give. And this is love, for this alone is |
Tx:16.47 | to interfere with it. This is its idea of Heaven. From this it | follows that union, which is a condition in which the ego cannot |

Tx:19.5 | Yet the difference in how they operate is less apparent, though it | follows directly from the fundamental difference in what they are. |
Tx:19.15 | and make lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth | follows faith and peace, completing the process of making lovely |

Tx:20.59 | The period of discomfort that | follows the sudden change in a relationship from sin to holiness |
Tx:21.45 | not that this is madness. For this your reason tells you, and it | follows perfectly from what you have already learned. |
Tx:23.39 | the belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it | follows that it seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in |
Tx:24.2 | on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and | follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom |
Tx:27.84 | and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their cause which | follows nothing and is but a jest. |
Tx:29.15 | in death, with death perceived as life, and living, death. Confusion | follows on confusion here, for on confusion has this world been |
Tx:31.7 | only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world | follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson |
Tx:31.20 | remembering how much we do not know. This brother neither leads nor | follows us but walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is like us, |
Tx:31.23 | goal, which is but to decide to walk with him, so neither leads nor | follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not alone. And in this |
W1:9.1 | This idea obviously | follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may be able to |
W1:18.2 | or four practice periods which are recommended should be done as | follows: |

W1:26.6 | should be spent with each one. Today's idea should be applied as | follows: |
W1:35.6 | suitable unselected list for applying the idea for today might be as | follows: |
W1:40.5 | Another might be something as | follows: |
W1:R1.1 | review. In the practice periods, the exercises should be done as | follows: |
W1:91.2 | miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is not there. This | follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. Denial of |
W1:129.1 | This is the thought which | follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the |
W1:134.13 | in all the world which leads to any understanding of the laws it | follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the |
W1:156.1 | is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. It | follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text |
W1:166.6 | with him, for everyone who comes here has pursued the path he | follows and has felt defeat and hopelessness as he is feeling them. |
W1:193.17 | Let no one hour cast its shadow on the one that | follows, and when that one goes, let everything that happens in its |
W2:312.1 | Perception | follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what you would |
M:I.4 | There is no escape from it. How could it be otherwise? Everyone who | follows the world's curriculum, and everyone here does follow it |
M:4.14 | Harm is the outcome of judgment. It is the dishonest act that | follows a dishonest thought. It is a verdict of guilt upon a brother |
M:9.2 | own decisions; he asks his Teacher for His answer, and it is this he | follows as his guide for action. This becomes easier and easier as |
folly (7) | ||
Tx:30.58 | attack. There, it is clear that by attack is understanding lost. The | folly of pursuing guilt as goal is fully recognized. And idols are |
W1:134.1 | truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric | folly, and this course appear to rest salvation on a whim. |
W1:135.1 | real, and that his own defense can save himself? And herein lies the | folly of defense—it gives illusions full reality and then attempts |

Tx:1.96 | Only man makes this kind of mistake. It is an example of the | foolish consistency which his own false beliefs have engendered. |

Tx:4.3 | The journey to the cross should be the last | foolish journey for every mind. Do not dwell upon it, but dismiss it |

Tx:12.72 | Whenever you are tempted to undertake a | foolish journey that would lead away from light, remember what you |

Tx:16.41 | and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last | foolish journey away from truth together, and then together we go |
Tx:21.4 | How | foolish it is to attempt to judge what could be seen instead. It is |
Tx:24.66 | false ideas you made because it was created not by you. Let not your | foolish fancies frighten you. What is immortal cannot be attacked; |
Tx:27.19 | love. And love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a | foolish wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire |
Tx:27.59 | because it stands for what is past forgiveness and is true. How | foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by laws which it |
Tx:27.85 | bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its | foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He |
Tx:31.42 | leads away from Him. A journey from yourself does not exist. How | foolish and insane it is to think that there could be a road with |

W1:76.10 | There are no laws but God's. Dismiss all | foolish magical beliefs today and hold your mind in silent readiness |

W1:100.10 | look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you back? What | foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls to you is |
W1:131.10 | what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave | foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true |
W1:131.11 | and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the | foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the |
W1:134.11 | to truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the | foolish dreamer who believes in them. He has been gently wakened from |

W1:156.7 | Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this | foolish thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep |

W1:189.6 | to Which it carries us. For its simplicity avoids the snares the | foolish convolutions of the world's apparent reasoning but serve to |
W1:193.4 | The One Whom God created to replace the | foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy Son with |
W1:196.2 | to understand the truth it uses thus. But you can learn to see these | foolish applications and deny the meaning they appear to have. |

W2:229.2 | untouched and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my | foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen. |

Tx:12.59 | grows dim. There is no loss. Nothing is there but shines, and shines | forever. |
Tx:12.66 | Yet here it is, and you can understand it now. God loves His Son | forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real |
Tx:12.66 | God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love | forever. The real world is the way that leads you to remembrance of |
Tx:13.1 | it. It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has everything, and | forever. |
Tx:13.2 | everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last | forever. |
Tx:13.5 | This is the miracle of creation; that it is one | forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the true |
Tx:13.28 | your brothers, you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is | forever true. In shining peace within you is the perfect purity in |
Tx:13.29 | And in Christ's vision, He would show you the perfect purity that is | forever within God's Son. |
Tx:13.32 | and gladness and appreciation for what you see will banish guilt | forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, |
Tx:13.32 | the purity of Your most holy Son, whom You have created guiltless | forever. |
Tx:13.51 | thoughts wholly of you, the thought system which you made would be | forever dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's Son projects have |
Tx:13.62 | lesson holds the key to the dark door which you believe is locked | forever. You made this door of nothing and behind it is nothing. The |
Tx:13.79 | he was created and where his abode was fixed in perfect peace | forever. |
Tx:14.2 | a blessing in perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who gives | forever and Who knows of nothing except giving? |
Tx:14.5 | His yearning to be known? You yearn for Him, as He for you. This is | forever changeless. Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the world of |
Tx:14.46 | His Children and their own, the knowledge of creation must continue | forever. The reflections which you accept into the mirror of your |
Tx:14.57 | you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son | forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love He |
Tx:14.59 | for all of it to be undone, and be glad that you are not bound to it | forever. For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the Son of |
Tx:14.60 | Atonement teaches you how to escape | forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in the past |
Tx:15.8 | guilt until it becomes all-encompassing and demands vengeance | forever. |
Tx:15.9 | God emerges from the past into the present. And the present extends | forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that |
Tx:15.15 | purity. His changeless state is beyond time, for his purity remains | forever beyond attack and without variability. Time stands still in |
Tx:15.15 | of the eternal sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed into | forever. Give the eternal instant that eternity may be remembered for |
Tx:15.18 | it take to be where God would have you? For you are where you have | forever been and will forever be. All that you have, you have |
Tx:15.18 | God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and will | forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed instant |
Tx:15.18 | have forever been and will forever be. All that you have, you have | forever. The blessed instant reaches out to encompass time, as God |
Tx:15.27 | Himself to you in your creation, He established you as host to Him | forever. He has not left you, and you have not left Him. All your |
Tx:15.29 | you. Far beyond your little world but still in you, He extends | forever. Yet He brings all his extensions to you as host to Him. |
Tx:15.31 | you are of your Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain | forever beyond littleness. |
Tx:15.32 | I will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace | forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His Will. |
Tx:15.34 | not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. God's power is | forever on the side of His host, for it protects only the peace in |
Tx:15.40 | You could live | forever in the holy instant, beginning now and reaching to eternity, |
Tx:15.42 | and am I wholly willing to let everything that interferes with it go | forever?” If the answer is no, then the Holy Spirit's readiness to |
Tx:15.81 | is beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. You are | forever in a relationship so holy that it calls to everyone to escape |
Tx:15.89 | love of God for you and the need your creations have to be with you | forever, you would experience the attraction of the eternal. No one |
Tx:16.38 | Only there is the completion of God and of His Son established | forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of illusion, where |
Tx:16.42 | to the Heart of God. At its center, and only there, you are safe | forever because you are complete forever. There is no veil the love |
Tx:16.42 | and only there, you are safe forever because you are complete | forever. There is no veil the love of God in us together cannot lift. |
Tx:17.1 | and all his “sins” are but his own imagining. His reality is | forever sinless. He need not be forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams |
Tx:17.27 | His relationship with you, the function of relationships became | forever “to make happy.” And nothing else. To fulfill this function, |
Tx:17.79 | you accepted what can never change. And nothing that it needs to be | forever changeless can you now withhold from it. Your release is |
Tx:18.24 | you sought a blackness so complete that you could hide from truth | forever in complete insanity. What you forgot was simply that God |
Tx:18.27 | You will succeed only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given | forever, for God Himself received it. You cannot take it back. You |
Tx:18.29 | when the darkness in them is offered to the light and is removed | forever. My need for you, joined with me in the holy light of your |
Tx:18.31 | Not one light in Heaven but goes with you. Not one ray that shines | forever in the Mind of God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with |
Tx:18.57 | orders of reality, only some of which were love. Yet love must be | forever like itself, changeless forever and forever without |
Tx:18.57 | of which were love. Yet love must be forever like itself, changeless | forever and forever without alternative. And so it is. You cannot put |
Tx:18.57 | love. Yet love must be forever like itself, changeless forever and | forever without alternative. And so it is. You cannot put a barrier |
Tx:18.95 | Nor is there any need for us to try to speak of what must | forever lie beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains |
Tx:18.96 | all learning that everything you learned is meaningless, replaced | forever by the knowledge of love and its one meaning. |
Tx:18.98 | every perception has been cleansed and purified and finally removed | forever. Forgiveness removes only the untrue, lifting the shadows |
Tx:19.6 | in the same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal | forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the |
Tx:19.8 | Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain | forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But illusions |
Tx:19.11 | in him, and he was healed because you looked on what makes faith | forever justified in everyone. |
Tx:19.15 | longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth will stay | forever. |
Tx:19.17 | minds, not bodies, can attack. And thus the mind is guilty and will | forever so remain unless a mind not part of it can give it |
Tx:19.20 | of the Son of God as his Father created him and willed that he be | forever. Is this humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest |
Tx:19.25 | appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that cannot be corrected and will be | forever desirable. As an essential part of what the ego thinks you |
Tx:19.30 | different. Yet in your mind is One Who knows it is unbroken and | forever changeless. This One can teach you how to look on time |
Tx:19.33 | If sin were real, it would | forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power |
Tx:19.38 | relationship the gift of holiness, without which it would have been | forever impossible to appreciate each other. |
Tx:19.66 | you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its power is gone | forever. Where can guilt be, when the belief in sin is gone? And |
Tx:19.68 | He Who is our home is homeless with us. Is this your will? Would you | forever be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you invest your hope |
Tx:19.69 | Faith in the eternal is always justified, for the eternal is | forever kind, infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It will |
Tx:19.92 | secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies beyond the veil | forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to |
Tx:19.94 | as you could never love the body. And the appeal of death is lost | forever as love's attraction stirs and calls to you. From beyond each |
Tx:19.95 | if you look on this and let the veil be lifted, they will be gone | forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and your “home” |
Tx:19.96 | raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the world | forever. This is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it |
Tx:20.37 | what was lost. Only in time can anything be lost, and never lost | forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in time, and |
Tx:20.45 | but there is nothing else. And this is wholly loving and | forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy relationship |
Tx:20.54 | The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will endure | forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by truth, and love |
Tx:20.54 | Arms. Love's arms are open to receive you and give you peace | forever. |
Tx:21.3 | is unknown to them. They must infer what could be seen from evidence | forever indirect and reconstruct their inferences as they stumble and |
Tx:21.10 | all. The light expands and covers everything, extending to infinity, | forever shining and with no break or limit anywhere. Within it |
Tx:21.21 | of God's replacement for his will, a mad revolt against what must | forever be. This is the statement that he has the power to make God |
Tx:21.64 | choice that he is damned—separate from you and from his Father | forever and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and |
Tx:21.90 | be always yours. Here is the constant peace you could experience | forever. Here is what denial has denied revealed to you. For here the |
Tx:22.27 | light which reaches it from the bright endless circle that extends | forever is your holy relationship, beloved of God Himself. How still |
Tx:22.43 | of what they have received. And so they learn that it is theirs | forever. All barriers disappear before their coming, as every |
Tx:22.48 | of praise to its Creator which every heart throughout the universe | forever sings as one? Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or |
Tx:22.53 | of means and end so easily in what God loves and would have free | forever. But be you rather grateful that you can be the means to |
Tx:22.59 | that He cannot use, but offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend | forever. He will take each one and make of it a potent force for |
Tx:23.15 | no illusion can invade His home and drive Him out of what He loves | forever. And what He loves must be forever quiet and at peace because |
Tx:23.15 | drive Him out of what He loves forever. And what He loves must be | forever quiet and at peace because it is His home. And you who are |
Tx:23.44 | you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining before your vision, | forever clear and never out of sight if you defend it not. |
Tx:23.54 | the light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them | forever. It is their past, their present, and their future always the |
Tx:23.54 | no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that will last | forever? |
Tx:24.3 | smallest gift is not to know love's purpose. Love offers everything | forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering, and love is gone |
Tx:24.17 | Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the love of God | forever? |
Tx:24.22 | could never be divided and kept separate from what it is and must | forever be. You are your brother's; part of love was not denied to |
Tx:24.25 | all your misery and the awareness that your plan has failed and will | forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this |
Tx:24.29 | is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It will | forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is—a secret vow |
Tx:24.29 | God wants for you will never be and that you will oppose His Will | forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while |
Tx:24.31 | the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it is you rest | forever in the arms of peace in perfect safety and without the heat |
Tx:24.51 | that God created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours | forever. And no thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It |
Tx:24.55 | holiness? And where is God Himself but in that part of Him He set | forever in your brother's holiness that you might see the truth about |
Tx:25.12 | For only thus will you be willing to relinquish it and have it gone | forever. |
Tx:25.17 | it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a frame that will endure | forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you not the |
Tx:25.24 | could be sure His sanity went there with him so he could not be lost | forever in the madness of his wish. |
Tx:25.30 | perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned | forever, being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's |
Tx:25.30 | change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever, being | forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's perception must |
Tx:25.35 | while, in twisted forms too far away for recognition and are gone | forever. And in the sunlight you will stand in quiet, in innocence, |
Tx:25.78 | And what could this mean except that they are sins and not mistakes, | forever uncorrectable, and to be met with vengeance not with justice? |
Tx:26.8 | is in Heaven, so must he be eternally and everywhere. He is the same | forever—born again each instant, untouched by time, and far beyond |
Tx:26.16 | and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before they disappear, to be | forever undone and unremembered. What seemed once to be a special |
Tx:26.17 | because He knows that everything that is belongs to Him and will | forever be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be sinless and |
Tx:26.37 | he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls out from a past | forever more gone by. And everything which points to it as real is |
Tx:26.39 | Love. And how can he be kept in chains long since removed and gone | forever from his mind? |
Tx:26.50 | because they are reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of truth | forever will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as |
Tx:26.52 | Yet the belief that it is real has made some errors seem | forever past the hope of healing and the lasting grounds for hell. If |
Tx:26.62 | is different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one will be | forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was |
Tx:26.64 | Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and death, all glory be | forever. For you have power to save the Son of God because his Father |
Tx:26.73 | Yet the acceptance of the working out can seem to take | forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your |
Tx:26.79 | ancient hate has gone, and all the blight and withering have passed | forever from the land where They have come. |
Tx:26.84 | do God the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will | forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have |
Tx:27.11 | represents. Let it receive the power to represent an endless life, | forever unattacked. And to your brother let its message be, “Behold |
Tx:27.45 | healed and cannot heal. This does not mean the conflict must be gone | forever from your mind. For if it were, there'd be no need for |
Tx:27.53 | the instant which love entered in without attack will stay with you | forever. Your healing will be one of its effects, as will your |
Tx:28.9 | and could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause | forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference—never |
Tx:28.15 | it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a stranded Son | forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he can |
Tx:28.17 | Purity is not confined. It is the nature of the innocent to be | forever uncontained, without a barrier or limitation. Thus is purity |
Tx:28.53 | rise to cover it with vague, uncertain forms and changing shapes, | forever unsubstantial and unsure. Yet in the gap is nothing. And |
Tx:28.58 | my mind and yours” has kept God's promise, not his tiny oath to be | forever faithful unto death. And by his healing is his brother healed. |
Tx:28.59 | his creation did his Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you | forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from |
Tx:28.66 | no effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house will stand | forever, for its strength lies not within itself alone. It is an ark |
Tx:28.66 | is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise that His Son is safe | forever in Himself. What gap can interpose itself between the safety |
Tx:29.31 | place. For your Identity abides in Them, and where They are, | forever must you be. |
Tx:29.34 | to you. Behold His Son, His perfect gift in whom his Father shines | forever and to whom is all creation given as his own. Because he has |
Tx:29.41 | cannot be to die. It must be life's extension, that it be as one | forever and forever without end. |
Tx:29.41 | to die. It must be life's extension, that it be as one forever and | forever without end. |
Tx:29.57 | slaves of time. Here does the changeless change, the peace of God, | forever given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of |
Tx:29.58 | has no place to be. An idol is beyond where God has set all things | forever and has left no room for anything to be except His Will. |
Tx:29.66 | There is a time when childhood should be passed and gone | forever. Seek not to retain the toys of children. Put them all away, |
Tx:29.68 | ears, but with the holiness which never left the altar which abides | forever deep within the Son of God. And when he hears this song |
Tx:30.28 | fear. When this has been achieved, the sorry dream of judgment has | forever been undone. But meanwhile, you have need for practicing the |
Tx:30.36 | of the universe along with Him. He would but keep your will | forever and forever limitless. |
Tx:30.36 | the universe along with Him. He would but keep your will forever and | forever limitless. |
Tx:30.43 | Nothing that God knows not exists. And what He knows exists | forever, changelessly. For thoughts endure as long as does the mind |
Tx:30.43 | there are no separate parts in what exists within God's Mind. It is | forever one, eternally united and at peace. |
Tx:30.45 | The Thoughts of God are far beyond all change and shine | forever. They await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. |
Tx:30.46 | knows this light, for He is the eternal sky which holds it safe, | forever lifted up, and anchored sure. Its perfect purity does not |
Tx:30.54 | wants to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that will | forever place you far beyond deception. You need not concern yourself |
Tx:30.64 | everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear | forever and to go straight on and quickly reach the gate of Heaven |
Tx:30.69 | The Will of God | forever lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined, they |
Tx:30.87 | script which cannot be interpreted with meaning. It must be | forever unintelligible. This is not communication. Your dark dreams |
Tx:31.15 | and of peace. You see yourself divided into both these roles, | forever split between the two. And every friend or enemy becomes a |
Tx:31.41 | Yet has He never left His Thoughts to die, without their Source | forever in themselves. He has not left His Thoughts! He could no more |
Tx:31.47 | and a fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must | forever look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The |
Tx:31.65 | the one you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is | forever true. It matters not where you believe you are nor what you |
Tx:31.73 | which now you hold would guarantee your function here remain | forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter |
Tx:31.95 | that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are and will | forever be. They will accept the gift I offer them because You gave |
W1:41.2 | The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness | forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms |
W1:43.1 | Without this link with God, perception would have replaced knowledge | forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception will |
W1:49.2 | identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign | forever. Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you |
W1:50.3 | your faith in the Love of God within you, eternal, changeless and | forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you |
W1:50.4 | Heaven. Such is the resting place where your Father has placed you | forever. |
W1:56.5 | 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 | thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one | forever. I have not lost the knowledge of who I am because I have |
W1:57.3 | in this belief, which I no longer want. The Son of God must be | forever free. He is as God created him, and not what I would make of |
W1:58.6 | directs me in all things. His care for me is infinite and is with me | forever. I am eternally blessed as His Son. |
W1:73.9 | 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 you |
W1:75.11 | what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today | forever. Say, then: |
W1:76.2 | we will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would | forever seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for today |
W1:76.7 | we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which keeps us free | forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The light has |
W1:76.10 | substitutes, and nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws | forever give and never take. |
W1:76.12 | us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless | forever. We will repeat today's idea until we have listened and |
W1:92.8 | comes again. The light of strength is constant, sure as love, | forever glad to give itself away because it cannot give but to |
W1:93.7 | unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will | forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide |
W1:94.1 | and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away | forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is |
W1:95.18 | sinless as its Creator, with His strength within you and His love | forever yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this |
W1:96.3 | nor can your Self be split in two and still be what it is and must | forever be. |
W1:99.4 | the separated mind and thoughts with Mind and thought which are | forever one? What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize |
W1:99.16 | for today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear | forever from your mind. If you are tempted to believe them true, |
W1:105.5 | itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away, securing it | forever for itself. |
W1:106.4 | not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last | forever, for they come from God to His dear Son, whose other name is |
W1:106.7 | is yours, and everything is given away, it will remain with you | forever. And the lesson has been learned. |
W1:107.4 | and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is everywhere | forever now. |
W1:108.1 | it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace | forever, for the dream is over now. |
W1:110.8 | the Son of God and brother to the world—the savior who has been | forever saved, with power to save whoever touches Him however |
W1:112.3 | [94] I am as God created me. I will remain | forever as I was, Created by the Changeless like Himself. And I am |
W1:114.3 | accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and will | forever be? |
W1:122.8 | eyes and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, | forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember |
W1:123.3 | Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His Love | forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give |
W1:123.3 | abandoned you and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, | forever without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, |
W1:125.2 | God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, | forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his |
W1:125.2 | his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own will, | forever free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love. He is |
W1:125.4 | throne of God today, the quiet place within the mind where He abides | forever in the holiness which He created and will never leave. |
W1:127.3 | one, the link between the Father and the Son which holds them both | forever as the same. |
W1:129.3 | find a world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures | forever, hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss |
W1:131.9 | Could he lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his home | forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon God's |
W1:133.7 | First, if you choose a thing that will not last | forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without |
W1:137.4 | always was the simple truth and always will remain exactly as it has | forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that |
W1:137.8 | were walled off within a body free to join with other minds, to be | forever strong. |
W1:139.7 | can be asked of you, for what you are is certain. It is set | forever in the holy Mind of God and in your own. It is so far beyond |
W1:140.6 | It is merely an appeal to truth which cannot fail to heal and heal | forever. It is not a thought which judges an illusion by its size, |
W1:R4.4 | of forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is | forever true. |
W1:R4.12 | His gratitude surrounds you in the peace wherein He wills you be | forever and are learning now to claim again as your inheritance. |
W1:153.13 | the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of sin | forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the Son |
W1:158.1 | The knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless | forever, wholly unafraid because you were created out of Love. Nor |
W1:160.8 | Who He knows to be His Son belongs where He has set His Son | forever. He has answered you who ask, “Who is the stranger?” Hear His |
W1:160.8 | is your Creator stranger made to you. Whom God has joined remains | forever one, at home in Him, no stranger to Himself. |
W1:163.9 | with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You | forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our will is one with |
W1:164.1 | is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to look upon what is | forever there—not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks |
W1:165.6 | lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to let His Son remain | forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs to live? |
W1:167.8 | them. The thought of death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. | Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the thoughts of God |
W1:167.8 | unopposed by opposites of any kind, the thoughts of God remain | forever changeless with the power to extend forever changelessly but |
W1:167.8 | thoughts of God remain forever changeless with the power to extend | forever changelessly but yet within Themselves, for They are |
W1:167.11 | home we strive to keep today, as He established it and wills it be | forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. And in His |

W1:204.1 | unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, | forever and forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am free. For I |
W1:204.1 | which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and | forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as |

W2:227.1 | them up and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed | forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I |
W2:230.1 | merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace | forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, |
W2:230.1 | Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is | forever so? |
W2:234.1 | there was no lapse in continuity nor break in thoughts which are | forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the |
W2:235.1 | remember that His Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness | forever perfect to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His |
W2:235.1 | his sinlessness forever perfect to be sure that I am saved and safe | forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am saved because |
W2:235.2 | Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me and made my sinlessness | forever part of You. I have no guilt or sin in me, for there is none |
W2:239.1 | And can it be that we are not among them when He loves His Son | forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him? |
W2:239.2 | We thank You, Father, for the light that shines | forever in us. And we honor it because You share it with us. We are |
W2:244.2 | For what can come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what will | forever be a part of Him? |
W2:WIS.3 | the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will | forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be no |
W2:255.1 | truth of what He says. God's Son can have no cares and must remain | forever in the peace of Heaven. In his name I give today to finding |
W2:267.1 | of God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held | forever quiet and at peace within His loving arms. Each heartbeat |
W2:268.1 | as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love will I remain | forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be exactly as |
W2:270.1 | waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time, which ends | forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his will is one with |
W2:WIC.1 | nor lost the innocence in which He was created. He abides unchanged | forever in the Mind of God. |
W2:WIC.2 | that separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope | forever will abide in Him. Your mind is part of His and His of yours. |
W2:272.1 | accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, | forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God's Son must be as |
W2:272.1 | than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, | forever gentle, and forever safe. God's Son must be as You created |

M:I.5 | there would be no hope of salvation, for the world of sin would seem | forever “real.” The self-deceiving must deceive, for they must teach |
M:I.5 | more, although their thoughts remain a source of strength and truth | forever. Who are they? How are they chosen? What do they do? How can |
M:4.19 | to him. These he can give away in true generosity, protecting them | forever for himself. |
M:5.7 | With this idea is pain | forever gone. But with this idea goes also all confusion about |
M:12.1 | limitless. And being limitless, His Thoughts are joined with God's | forever and ever. His perception of Himself is based upon God's |
M:12.1 | God's Will and bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is | forever One, because He is as God created Him. He has accepted |
M:13.3 | Now has the mind condemned itself to seek without finding, to be | forever dissatisfied and discontented, to know not what it really |
M:14.1 | will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt | forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for now it has no |
M:15.1 | Indeed yes! No one can escape God's Final Judgment. Who could flee | forever from the truth? But the Final Judgment will not come until it |
M:15.2 | Holy are you, eternal, free, and whole, at peace | forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world and where is sorrow |
M:17.9 | But His love is Cause of everything beyond all fear and thus | forever real and always true. |
M:18.4 | has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes. God reigns | forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the world. His |

M:19.3 | has no place in such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems | forever true. |

M:19.4 | decay and die, but wholeness is immortal. It remains forever and | forever like its Creator, being one with Him. God's Judgment is His |
M:22.7 | can he say with God, “This is my beloved Son, created perfect and | forever so.” |
M:27.7 | but this: the realization that the Son of God is guiltless now and | forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it is not |
M:28.5 | His holiness as ours, as it is. As God created us, so will we be | forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our |
M:28.5 | as ours, as it is. As God created us, so will we be forever and | forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our own. |

W1:189.5 | you see? The choice is given you. But learn and do not let your mind | forget this law of seeing: you will look upon that which you feel |

W1:198.11 | Do not | forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to |

W1:R6.11 | Let us offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not | forget to Whom it has been given as we practice day by day, advancing |
W1:213.1 | the way I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons and | forget my own. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
W2:I.2 | as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we | forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when we have |
W2:I.2 | calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to | forget our goal. |
W2:I.7 | the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the way, but You did not | forget us. And we know that You will not forget us now. We ask but |
W2:I.7 | the way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not | forget us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which |
W2:223.2 | for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not | forget You longer. We are lonely here and long for Heaven where we |
W2:232.1 | Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let me not | forget my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me and |
W2:257.1 | If I | forget my goal, I can be but confused, unsure of what I am and thus |
W2:257.2 | forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us not | forget that we can have no will but Yours today. And thus our purpose |

W2:306.1 | so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can | forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear and be restored |
W2:342.1 | Let me remember that I am Your Son, and opening the door at last, | forget illusions in the blazing light of truth, as memory of You |
W2:346.1 | transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would | forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in You and know no |
W2:346.2 | the peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we | forget all things except God's Love. |
W2:358.1 | do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not | forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my |
W2:358.1 | keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not | forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all. |
W2:FL.4 | as it is given us to be His own completion in reality. So let us not | forget our goal is shared. For it is that remembrance which contains |
M:5.10 | forms of sickness in which their brother believes. To do this is to | forget that all of them have the same purpose and therefore are not |
M:12.3 | to without the fear that truth would encounter in them. Do not | forget that truth can come only where it is welcomed without fear. So |
M:13.7 | Do not | forget that sacrifice is total. There are no “half sacrifices.” You |
M:13.8 | Teacher of God, do not | forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember what each decision you |
M:16.5 | to spend this time earlier, at least be sure that you do not | forget a brief period—not more than a moment will do—in which you |
M:16.8 | will return to earlier attempts to place reliance on himself alone. | Forget not this is magic and that magic is a sorry substitute for |
M:17.6 | How then can one believe in one's defenses? Magic again must help. | Forget the battle. Accept it as a fact, and then forget it. Do not |
M:17.6 | again must help. Forget the battle. Accept it as a fact, and then | forget it. Do not remember the impossible odds against you. Do not |
M:21.1 | exclusion or at least the control of extraneous thoughts. Let us not | forget, however, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus |
M:27.7 | guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself | forget it is not less than this. |
M:29.6 | Never | forget that the Holy Spirit does not depend on your words. He |
M:29.7 | now. God does not wait, for waiting implies time and He is timeless. | Forget your foolish images, your sense of frailty and your fear of |

Tx:24.31 | Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of | |
Tx:24.31 | the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest. | Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not give and which you |

Tx:27.13 | due. He may be pitied for his guilt, but not exonerated. And if you | forgive him his transgressions, you but add to all the guilt that he |
Tx:27.14 | retain the consequences of the guilt they overlook. Yet no one can | forgive a sin which he believes is real. And what has consequences |
Tx:27.14 | for evil, for forgiveness does not first establish sin and then | forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My brother, you have injured me, |
Tx:27.15 | To witness sin and yet | forgive it is a paradox which reason cannot see. For it maintains |
Tx:27.15 | he is not really innocent. The sick remain accusers. They cannot | forgive their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom |
Tx:27.22 | correction's role, you lose the function of forgiveness. No one can | forgive until he learns correction is but to forgive and never to |
Tx:27.22 | forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to | forgive and never to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the same, |

Tx:29.23 | way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to | forgive you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto |
Tx:29.23 | you did not create, but which you can extend. On earth this means | forgive your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. |
Tx:29.38 | How willing are you to | forgive your brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless |
Tx:30.37 | give when you have recognized that you are free. But you will not | forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to |
Tx:30.55 | What could it be except a happy dream? It asks you but that you | forgive all things that no one ever did, to overlook what is not |
Tx:30.70 | attack is due and would be justified. For this would mean that you | forgive a sin by overlooking what is really there. This is not |
Tx:30.71 | Pardon is always justified. It has a sure foundation. You do not | forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a real attack that calls for |
Tx:30.73 | avoid the fear of God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can | forgive. The mind must think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. |
Tx:30.76 | And you could not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must | forgive God's Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself |
Tx:30.76 | rests on faith there cannot be some forms of guilt which you cannot | forgive. And so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the |
Tx:31.23 | Forgive your brother all appearances, which are but ancient lessons | |
Tx:31.42 | on it, walking there without your own reality at one with you? | Forgive yourself your madness and forget all senseless journeys and |
Tx:31.66 | you invulnerable? Then the world is harmless in your sight. Do you | forgive? Then is the world forgiving, for you have forgiven it its |
W1:46.1 | God does not | forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be |
W1:46.1 | world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who | forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who |
W1:46.1 | binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you | forgive only yourself. |

W1:46.6 | phase of today's practice is to put you in the best position to | forgive yourself. After you have applied the idea for today to all |
W1:46.7 | God is the Love in which I | forgive myself. |
W1:46.14 | God is the Love in which I | forgive you. |
W1:60.2 | [46] God is the Love in which I | forgive. God does not forgive, because He has never condemned. The |
W1:60.2 | [46] God is the Love in which I forgive. God does not | forgive, because He has never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, |
W1:60.2 | blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to | forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my |
W1:60.3 | Strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength through which I | forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am |
W1:60.3 | It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I | forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I |
W1:60.3 | I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I | forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. |
W1:60.6 | As I open my eyes, His love lights up the world for me to see. As I | forgive, His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look |
W1:62.3 | every attack you call upon your own weakness, while every time you | forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then |
W1:64.2 | in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to | forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this perception, |
W1:64.8 | my function. Let me not try to substitute mine for God's. Let me | forgive and be happy. |
W1:68.4 | hold grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who | forgive will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances |
W1:68.4 | grievances will forget who they are as it is certain that those who | forgive will remember. Would you not be willing to relinquish your |
W1:82.2 | by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, | forgive the world that it may be healed along with me. |

W1:108.5 | as saying one correction will suffice for all correction or that to | forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. |

W1:134.3 | genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still believe you must | forgive the truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain |

Tx:20.8 | lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I offer him | forgiveness when he offers thorns to me? For he who offers thorns to |
Tx:20.13 | shining from the holy altar within him where you laid the lilies of | forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from illusions, and look on |
Tx:20.34 | This is the purpose given you. Think not that your | forgiveness of each other serves but you two alone. For the whole new |
Tx:20.42 | day offer to each other already offered you. And here the limitless | forgiveness you will give each other already given; the face of |
Tx:22.19 | the belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart from its | forgiveness. |
Tx:22.27 | exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every illusion brought to its | forgiveness is gently overlooked and disappears. For at its center |
Tx:22.28 | be released entirely from all effects of sin. Would you have partial | forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach Heaven while a single sin |
Tx:22.36 | the vision of his holiness, the sight of which would show you your | forgiveness, be kept from you by what the body's eyes can see. Let |
Tx:22.36 | see your sins in him to save yourself. And yet his holiness is your | forgiveness. Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose holiness |
Tx:22.41 | thankful will they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's | forgiveness to dispel their faith in sin. |
Tx:22.57 | When you have looked upon each other with complete | forgiveness from which no error is excluded and nothing kept hidden |
Tx:22.59 | to look on what your Father loves with charity? Extension of | forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's function. Leave this to Him. Let |
Tx:23.6 | in it. So will you come to understand all that is given you. In kind | forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once |
Tx:23.16 | as one and not apart. Open the door of His most holy home and let | forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God |
Tx:23.22 | the one who makes the error places him beyond correction and beyond | forgiveness. What he has done is thus interpreted as an irrevocable |
Tx:23.26 | and no escape. Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not | forgiveness, is the Will of God. From where all this begins, there is |
Tx:23.42 | And neither the receiver nor the giver is long deceived. Withhold | forgiveness from your brother, and you attack him. You give him |
Tx:23.44 | is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has come. | Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to attack |
Tx:23.44 | is it possible to attack for this and love for that and understand | forgiveness. Would you not want to recognize assault upon your peace |
Tx:23.45 | perceive it lies within them. How could they know? Could they accept | forgiveness side by side with the belief that murder takes some forms |
Tx:23.50 | It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His Son, for your | forgiveness of one another is not complete as yet, and so it cannot |
Tx:24.19 | and make you whole in mind and one with him. He waits for your | forgiveness only that he may return it unto you. It is not God Who |
Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only illusions can be | |
Tx:24.26 | Only illusions can be forgiven, and then they disappear. | Forgiveness is release from all illusions, and that is why it is |
Tx:24.26 | calls it “unforgivable” and makes it sin. How can he then give his | forgiveness wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it |
Tx:24.30 | God asks for your | forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien will, rise |
Tx:24.33 | Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your | forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on Himself. Deny them |
Tx:24.42 | Where could your peace arise but from | forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth and sees no |
Tx:24.42 | you looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that could need | forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify with |
Tx:24.46 | from death, receiving from each one the gift of life that your | forgiveness offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is |
Tx:25.21 | cannot separate yourself from him nor from his Father. You need no | forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never sinned. Give then what He |
Tx:25.26 | In His perception of the world, nothing is seen but justifies | forgiveness and the sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but |
Tx:25.26 | sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with instant and complete | forgiveness. |
Tx:25.28 | altar where he can with equal ease and far more happiness bestow | forgiveness. And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another |
Tx:25.29 | has much to offer to your peace and many chances to extend your own | forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who want to see peace and |
Tx:25.29 | forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who want to see peace and | forgiveness descend on them and offer them the light. |
Tx:25.42 | of your own belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your | forgiveness will you understand His love for you; through your attack |
Tx:25.47 | he learns the gift was given to himself, and so they must be one. | Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means |
Tx:25.47 | Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation. | Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, it is complete and |
Tx:25.85 | can never be received because another could receive it not. Only | forgiveness offers miracles. And pardon must be just to everyone. |
Tx:25.86 | with vengeance justified and mercy lost, condemns you as unworthy of | forgiveness. The unforgiven have no mercy to bestow upon another. |
Tx:25.86 | upon another. That is why your sole responsibility must be to take | forgiveness for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give. |
Tx:26.25 | Forgiveness is this world's equivalent of Heaven's justice. It | |
Tx:26.25 | total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless love could need | forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives way to simple |
Tx:26.25 | believed in sin and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. | Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has done |
Tx:26.25 | becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive. | Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it until he sees |
Tx:26.25 | And thus is he returned to his real function of creating, which his | forgiveness offers him again. |
Tx:26.26 | Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful | |
Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of | |
Tx:26.45 | obscures His grace and majesty from you and keeps His friendship and | forgiveness from your welcoming embrace. Without Him you are |
Tx:26.53 | have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them is but deceived. | Forgiveness is the only function here and serves to bring the joy |
Tx:26.53 | Son where sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role | forgiveness plays in ending death and all beliefs that rise from |
Tx:26.54 | this symbol represents is but your wish to be apart and separate. | Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and yourself. |
Tx:26.56 | the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is | forgiveness but a willingness that truth be true? What can remain |
Tx:26.64 | laid, for healing is not needed where there is no pain or suffering. | Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind. So is attack |
Tx:26.69 | separate. From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what | forgiveness offers now. The interval you think lies in between the |
Tx:26.70 | a little space between you still, you want a little time in which | forgiveness is withheld a little while. This makes the interval |
Tx:26.70 | a little while. This makes the interval between the time in which | forgiveness is withheld and given seem dangerous, with terror |
Tx:26.83 | entered in. Your footprints lighten up the world, for where you walk | forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on earth but offers thanks |
Tx:27.6 | tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he will look on his | forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look beyond it to the |
Tx:27.14 | consequences must be real because what it has done is there to see. | Forgiveness is not pity which but seeks to pardon what it knows to be |
Tx:27.14 | what it knows to be the truth. Good cannot be returned for evil, for | forgiveness does not first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can |
Tx:27.15 | their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom true | forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin before |
Tx:27.15 | And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his own. | Forgiveness cannot be for one and not the other. Who forgives is |
Tx:27.16 | Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother | |
Tx:27.16 | unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond | forgiveness just because they would entail effects which cannot be |
Tx:27.17 | speak with power greater than a thousand tongues. For here is his | forgiveness proved to him. A miracle can offer nothing less to him |
Tx:27.22 | of guilt. If you assume correction's role, you lose the function of | forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to |
Tx:27.28 | Correction must be left to One Who knows correction and | forgiveness are the same. With half a mind, this is not understood. |
Tx:27.33 | Reality is ultimately known without a form, unpictured and unseen. | Forgiveness is not yet a power known as wholly free of limits. Yet it |
Tx:27.33 | free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to impose. | Forgiveness is the means by which the truth is represented |
Tx:27.34 | will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will merely be. | Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which the eyes |
Tx:27.35 | Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond | forgiveness and beyond the world of symbols and of limitations. He |
Tx:27.59 | of sin. The miracle forgives because it stands for what is past | forgiveness and is true. How foolish and insane it is to think a |
Tx:28.35 | And sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in | forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you never sinned. The |
Tx:28.48 | And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you both are free. | Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil dream and thus |
Tx:29.23 | be lifted from your mind. When light has come to him through your | forgiveness, he will not forget his savior, leaving him unsaved. For |
Tx:29.35 | If you but knew the glorious goal that lies beyond | forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however light |
Tx:29.38 | and misery and pain? These questions are the same in different form. | Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and |
Tx:29.39 | appointed not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and death. | Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that |
Tx:29.39 | and death. Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time waits upon | forgiveness that the things of time may disappear because they have |
Tx:29.41 | set in time and change that time might be preserved, excepting one. | Forgiveness does not aim at keeping time but at its ending when it |
Tx:29.42 | as what you see it for. How lovely is the world whose purpose is | forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how filled with |
Tx:29.68 | remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time began. | Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the song of |
Tx:30.56 | It asks for nothing in reality. And even in illusions it but asks | forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is the only rule for |
Tx:30.57 | state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be | forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes |
Tx:30.57 | its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of | forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of idols which are |
Tx:30.59 | Not yet is Heaven quite remembered, for the purpose of | forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go beyond |
Tx:30.59 | forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go beyond | forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in himself. |
Tx:30.59 | go with him. For thus is he made ready for the step in which is all | forgiveness left behind. |
Tx:30.60 | creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its purpose is | forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's Son prepared to be |
Tx:30.62 | And all that stood between your image of yourself and what you are, | forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His Son |
Tx:30.63 | For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond | forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted |
Tx:30.70 | real world given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this | forgiveness rests and is but natural. You are not asked to offer |
Tx:30.71 | you would be asked to sacrifice your rights when you return | forgiveness for attack. But you are merely asked to see forgiveness |
Tx:30.71 | you return forgiveness for attack. But you are merely asked to see | forgiveness as the natural reaction to distress which rests on error |
Tx:30.71 | reaction to distress which rests on error and thus calls for help. | Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights from |
Tx:30.72 | have none. The real world is achieved when you perceive the basis of | forgiveness is quite real and fully justified. While you regard it as |
Tx:30.72 | it must uphold the guilt you would “forgive.” Unjustified | forgiveness is attack. And this is all the world can ever give. It |
Tx:30.72 | remains aware that they have sinned. And so they do not merit the | forgiveness that it gives. |
Tx:30.73 | This is the false | forgiveness which the world employs to keep the sense of sin alive. |
Tx:30.73 | itself. If you can see your brother merits pardon, you have learned | forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you think that God |
Tx:30.74 | Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its | |
Tx:30.74 | it would be necessary first there be some sin which stands beyond | forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than a mistake—a |
Tx:30.75 | than a belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness | forgiveness cannot heal. This means that you prefer to keep some |
Tx:30.75 | are harder to look past than others are. It always means you think | forgiveness must be limited. And you have set a goal of partial |
Tx:30.75 | a limited escape from guilt for you. What can this be except a false | forgiveness of yourself and everyone who seems apart from you? |
Tx:30.77 | what is whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. | Forgiveness rests on recognizing this and being glad there cannot be |
Tx:30.88 | lets us speak to all our brothers and to understand with them | forgiveness has been given to us all, and thus we can communicate |
Tx:31.5 | skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in | forgiveness have a power mightier than yours because they call from |
Tx:31.17 | death. But if he calls for death or calls for life, for hate or for | forgiveness and for help, is not the same in outcome. Hear the one, |
Tx:31.48 | eternally. For what you are has now become his sin. For this is no | forgiveness possible. No longer does it matter what he does, for your |
Tx:31.69 | But should one brother dawn upon your sight as wholly worthy of | forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is wholly changed. Your |
Tx:31.71 | not perceived to be yourself, it has been given you. For your | forgiveness, offered unto him, has been accepted now for both of you. |
Tx:31.72 | offered you. Hold out your hand that you may have the gift of kind | forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is just the same as |
Tx:31.82 | cannot see until he looks on them with seeing eyes and offers them | forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God says, “Release My Son!” |
W1:11.1 | initial form, for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to | forgiveness lies in it. |
W1:43.9 | I see through the eyes of | forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The world can show me |
W1:46.1 | He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before | forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this |
W1:46.1 | And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. | Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it |
W1:46.1 | thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold | forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only |
W1:46.2 | Although God does not forgive, His love is nevertheless the basis of | forgiveness. Fear condemns, and love forgives. Forgiveness thus |
W1:46.2 | the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns, and love forgives. | Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to |
W1:46.2 | returning the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, | forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which |
W1:55.4 | else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As | forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world |
W1:57.6 | within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my | forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. In this light, I begin |
W1:57.6 | I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines | forgiveness back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my |
W1:60.2 | those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet | forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It |
W1:60.5 | day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to call on my | forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice |
W1:62.1 | It is your | forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is |
W1:62.1 | that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your | forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. |
W1:62.1 | your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. | Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. |
W1:62.1 | the demonstration that you are the light of the world. Through your | forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. |
W1:62.1 | the truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your | forgiveness lies your salvation. |
W1:62.2 | Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all | forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to find out who you |
W1:62.2 | how to remember the truth. For this, attack must be replaced by | forgiveness so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death. |
W1:62.3 | strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what | forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, |
W1:62.6 | Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. I would fulfill | |
W1:63.4 | The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my | forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of |
W1:64.1 | The purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of | forgiveness and provide you with a justification for forgetting it. |
W1:64.4 | The world's salvation awaits your | forgiveness, because through it does the Son of God escape from all |
W1:73.5 | Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world. | Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you |
W1:75.3 | shadows from the past remain to darken our sight and hide the world | forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as what we |
W1:75.4 | practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which our | forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our |
W1:75.9 | Realize that your | forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit |
W1:75.11 | Give thanks for mercy and the Love of God. Rejoice in the power of | forgiveness to heal your sight completely. Be confident that on this |
W1:78.8 | him a different way and see our savior shining in the light of true | forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of |
W1:81.5 | [62] | Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. It is through |
W1:81.5 | on my recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand | forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I will see it as it |
W1:81.7 | Let this help me learn what | forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my will. I |
W1:82.2 | [63] The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my | forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the |
W1:82.2 | of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My | forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds |
W1:82.2 | by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My | forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the |
W1:82.2 | means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My | forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with |
W1:82.4 | [name]. I share the light of the world with you, [name]. Through my | forgiveness I can see this as it is. |
W1:90.2 | is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my | forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle which |
W1:92.6 | may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and | forgiveness and in love. |
W1:92.7 | Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in | forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from itself and |
W1:99.1 | Salvation and | forgiveness are the same. They both imply that something has gone |
W1:99.2 | for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need | forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between |
W1:99.13 | Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and | forgiveness are the same. |
W1:99.15 | that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one you think you made. | Forgiveness and salvation are the same. Forgive what you have made, |
W1:99.20 | Thus do you lay | forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that |
W1:121.4 | parody of life. It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants | forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive |
W1:121.6 | Forgiveness is acquired. It is not inherent in a mind which cannot | |
W1:121.6 | in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself, | forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other |
W1:121.7 | do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your | forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach |
W1:121.8 | in the morning and at night another ten to learning how to give | forgiveness and receive forgiveness too. |
W1:121.8 | at night another ten to learning how to give forgiveness and receive | forgiveness too. |
W1:121.13 | Do not forget throughout the day the role | forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every unforgiving mind, |
W1:121.14 | Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I will awaken from the dream | |
W1:122.1 | What could you want | forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do |
W1:122.1 | What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? | Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a |
W1:122.2 | All this | forgiveness offers you, and more. It sparkles in your eyes as you |
W1:122.2 | again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this | forgiveness offers you, and more. |
W1:122.3 | Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up which hides the face of Christ | |
W1:122.4 | What would you want | forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be |
W1:122.4 | or transient promise never to be kept can hold more hope than what | forgiveness brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the |
W1:122.8 | your eyes today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. | Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. |
W1:122.8 | What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your | forgiveness offers it to you. |
W1:122.9 | Remembering the gifts | forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and |
W1:122.11 | of the answer brings. Today it will be given you to feel the peace | forgiveness offers and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to |
W1:122.12 | been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today. | Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all things you want are |
W1:122.15 | Forgiveness offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as | |
W1:126.1 | you believed this statement, there would be no problem in complete | forgiveness, certainty of goal, and sure direction. You would |
W1:126.3 | him beneath a true equality with you. He has no claim on your | forgiveness. It holds out a gift to him but hardly to yourself. |
W1:126.4 | Thus is | forgiveness basically unsound—a charitable whim, benevolent yet |
W1:126.5 | If this be true, | forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and sure. It |
W1:126.6 | You do not understand | forgiveness. As you see it, it is but a check upon overt attack, |
W1:126.7 | as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and true | forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the mind |
W1:126.9 | the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the thought by which | forgiveness takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the |
W1:126.9 | It is the thought that will release your mind from every bar to what | forgiveness means and let you realize its worth to you. |
W1:126.10 | In silence close your eyes upon the world which does not understand | forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are |
W1:134.1 | and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In such a view, | forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course |
W1:134.2 | This twisted view of what | forgiveness means is easily corrected when you can accept the fact |
W1:134.3 | The major difficulty that you find in genuine | forgiveness on your part is that you still believe you must forgive |
W1:134.4 | For it is impossible to think of sin as true and not believe | forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, like all |
W1:134.4 | think of sin as true and not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is | forgiveness really but a sin, like all the rest. It says the truth is |
W1:134.6 | It is sin's unreality that makes | forgiveness natural and wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer |
W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions | |
W1:134.9 | Now are you free to follow in the way your true | forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has received this |
W1:134.9 | to yourself. There is a very simple way to find the door to true | forgiveness and perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel that |
W1:134.10 | which would condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there is. | Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, between the world |
W1:134.13 | Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot perceive its | |
W1:134.14 | Today we practice true | forgiveness that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would |
W1:134.15 | today and spend it with the Guide Who understands the meaning of | forgiveness and was sent to us to teach it. Let us ask of Him: |
W1:134.16 | Let me perceive | forgiveness as it is. |
W1:134.19 | Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there will be so | |
W1:134.20 | Let me perceive | forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I will |
W1:137.5 | of sickness in the name of truth but not in truth itself. Just as | forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing |
W1:137.7 | Just as | forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world will occupy the |
W1:137.9 | Healing, | forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a |
W1:140.3 | of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams | forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of |
W1:R4.4 | his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of | forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever |
W1:R4.5 | with some understanding of the many forms in which the lack of true | forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are illusions, |
W1:141.1 | [121] | Forgiveness is the key to happiness. |
W1:141.2 | [122] | Forgiveness offers everything I want. |
W1:147.2 | [134] Let me perceive | forgiveness as it is. |
W1:158.6 | the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the world made holy by | forgiveness and by love. Here are all contradictions reconciled, for |
W1:158.9 | for Christ has vision which has power to overlook them all. In His | forgiveness, they are gone. Unseen by One, they merely disappear |
W1:159.2 | You understand that you are healed when you give healing. You accept | forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You |
W1:159.5 | you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by | forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows |

W1:169.6 | be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all thought of time, | forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely |
W1:169.7 | This is beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet | forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it the experiences which |
W1:169.7 | in that what you will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what | forgiveness means. All learning was already in His Mind, accomplished |
W1:169.10 | each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune with God. | Forgiveness is the central theme which runs throughout salvation, |
W1:186.14 | never can deceive, although they come from Formlessness Itself. | Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which as it is in Heaven has |
W1:189.3 | at all. The other one is wholly meaningless. A world in which | forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its gentle light to |
W1:190.7 | Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind | forgiveness does it live. |
W1:191.10 | lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his | forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's |
W1:192.2 | Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's creation, | |
W1:192.3 | cannot even be conceived of in the world. It has no meaning here. | Forgiveness is the closest it can come to earth. For being |
W1:192.4 | Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in Heaven, sees them | |
W1:192.4 | of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before. | Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome |
W1:192.5 | Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a simple | |
W1:192.6 | Only | forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its |
W1:192.6 | can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home. Only | forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His holy Son. |
W1:192.6 | can restore the peace that God intended for His holy Son. Only | forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon his holiness. |
W1:192.7 | But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we need | forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly light we |
W1:193.3 | God offers no | forgiveness, for He knows no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy |

W1:193.16 | time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in | forgiveness in the form established for the day. And try to give it |
W1:195.8 | yet retain some other things still locked away as sins. When your | forgiveness is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you will |
W1:197.1 | force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness and | forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again unless you find |
W1:197.6 | think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let | forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, |
W1:198.2 | them a while as if they had. Illusion makes illusion. Except one. | Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest. |
W1:198.3 | Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a | |
W1:198.3 | one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where illusions end. | Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a dream of waking. It |

W1:198.8 | like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need | forgiveness. Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the truth. |

W1:199.4 | for what the mind must do. It thus becomes a vehicle which helps | forgiveness be extended to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach |
W1:200.6 | What does | forgiveness do? In truth it has no function and does nothing, for it |
W2:WF.1 | Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has | |
W2:WF.1 | your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about God's Son? | Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What |
W2:WF.4 | Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still and quietly does nothing. It | |
W2:WF.5 | Do nothing, then, and let | forgiveness show you what to do through Him Who is your Guide, your |
W2:WS.3 | holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your | forgiveness laid before it and the memory of God not far behind. |
W2:WIW.1 | When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true | forgiveness will the world be seen in quite another light, and one |

W2:247.1 | is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer. For | forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's vision comes to me. |
W2:249.1 | Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss | |
W2:256.1 | The way to God is through | forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been |
W2:256.1 | and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal; | forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last. |
W2:257.2 | Father, | forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us not forget |
W2:267.1 | thought. Peace fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of | forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world |
W2:WIC.4 | the final dream which God appointed as the end of dreams. For when | forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every Son of |
W2:WIHS.1 | and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived before, | forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end. |
W2:WIHS.4 | where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to you to let | forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace |
W2:WIHS.4 | your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without | forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of |
W2:283.2 | to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our | forgiveness has made one with us. |
W2:285.2 | Father, my holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and through | forgiveness be restored to sanity. Your Son is still as You created |
W2:289.1 | seeing but what is not there. How can I then perceive the world | forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this 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 impossible |
W2:WIRW.2 | no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing here remains outside | forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds |
W2:WIRW.5 | us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our | forgiveness has restored to us. |
W2:291.2 | Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my | forgiveness be complete, and let the memory of You return to me. |
W2:297.1 | Forgiveness is the only gift I give because it is the only gift I | |
W2:298.1 | I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight | forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless |
W2:WISC.1 | to God's Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let | forgiveness rest upon all things without exception and without |
W2:WISC.2 | the Second Coming brings, as God's creation must be limitless. | Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's way because it shines on |
W2:301.1 | what You will. Let me today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes | forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your world |
W2:308.1 | in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has | forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without |
W2:330.1 | Let us this day accept | forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack our minds and |
W2:WIE.5 | Yet will one lily of | forgiveness change the darkness into light, the altar to illusions to |
W2:331.2 | Forgiveness shows us that God's Will is one and that we share it. Let | |
W2:331.2 | Will is one and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights | forgiveness shows today that we may find the peace of God. Amen. |
W2:332.1 | presence is the mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the Real. | Forgiveness bids this presence enter in and take its rightful place |
W2:332.1 | enter in and take its rightful place within the mind. Without | forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet |
W2:332.1 | is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet with | forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness, |
W2:333.2 | Father, | forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all |
W2:335.1 | Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is | |
W2:336.1 | Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception's ending. Knowledge | |
W2:336.1 | best can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. | Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens the hidden altar to the |
W2:336.2 | In quiet may | forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let |
W2:340.1 | will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through | forgiveness and be free forever from all suffering. Thanks for today, |
W2:WIM.1 | does not attempt to go beyond perception nor exceed the function of | forgiveness. Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it paves the way |
W2:WIM.2 | that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is | forgiveness seen as justified. |
W2:WIM.3 | Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them | |
W2:WIM.3 | sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of | forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each |

W2:WAI.3 | We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint | forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. |
W2:352.1 | Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone and judges not. Through this I | |
W2:352.1 | Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in | forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your |
W2:357.1 | Forgiveness, truth's reflection, tells me how to offer miracles and | |

M:4.24 | open-minded forgive? They have let go all things that would prevent | forgiveness. They have in truth abandoned the world and let it be |

Tx:14.63 | what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in one | form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit |
Tx:15.23 | that you accept the fact, and accept it gladly, that there is no | form of littleness that can ever content you. You are free to try as |

Tx:16.50 | form of fear in which the guilt is buried deep and rises in the | form of “love.” |
Tx:16.54 | Whenever any | form of special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual, |

Tx:16.54 | relationship is a ritual of form, aimed at the raising of the | form to take the place of God at the expense of content. There is no |
Tx:16.54 | place of God at the expense of content. There is no meaning in the | form, and there will never be. The special relationship must be |
Tx:16.54 | from the death of God and invested in His killer as the sign that | form has triumphed over content and love has lost its meaning. Would |

Tx:18.19 | real remains with you. And what you seem to wake to is but another | form of this same world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in |
Tx:18.71 | outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a body or some | form you think you recognize. |
Tx:19.26 | sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but another | form of guilt's protection, for what is deserving punishment must |
Tx:19.27 | let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you will but change the | form of sin, granting that it was an error but keeping it |
Tx:20.72 | is always sure. For it will meet His purpose, seen in unadjusted | form and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness becomes benign, |
Tx:20.72 | to correct? Its eyes adjust to sin, unable to overlook it in any | form and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, |
Tx:21.78 | 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:21.84 | Elusive happiness, or happiness in changing | form that shifts with time and place, is an illusion which has no |
Tx:22.18 | only guilt and suffering, sickness and death to their believers. The | form in which they are accepted is irrelevant. No form of misery in |
Tx:22.18 | believers. The form in which they are accepted is irrelevant. No | form of misery in reason's eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is |
Tx:22.24 | the mind's extensions but its enemies. And here we see again another | form of the same fundamental illusion we have seen many times before. |
Tx:22.31 | it. Yet reason sees through it easily because it is an error. The | form it takes cannot conceal its emptiness from reason's eyes. |
Tx:22.32 | Only the | form of error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and |
Tx:22.32 | that the whole would give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their | form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a special form the ego |
Tx:22.32 | of their form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a special | form the ego venerates. It would preserve all errors and make them |
Tx:22.33 | Reason will tell you that the | form of error is not what makes it a mistake. If what the form |
Tx:22.33 | that the form of error is not what makes it a mistake. If what the | form conceals is a mistake, the form cannot prevent correction. The |
Tx:22.33 | what makes it a mistake. If what the form conceals is a mistake, the | form cannot prevent correction. The body's eyes see only form. They |
Tx:22.33 | the form cannot prevent correction. The body's eyes see only | form. They cannot see beyond what they were made to see. And they |
Tx:22.33 | to look beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside | form of nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of |
Tx:22.33 | sin and stopping at the outside form of nothing. To this distorted | form of vision, the outside of everything, the wall that stands |
Tx:22.33 | nothingness as if it were a solid wall see truly? It is held back by | form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but form will |
Tx:22.33 | back by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but | form will be perceived. |
Tx:22.34 | beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the | form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight |
Tx:22.34 | go beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of | form. For sight of form means understanding has been obscured. |
Tx:22.34 | to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight of | form means understanding has been obscured. |
Tx:22.35 | have different forms, and so they can deceive. You can change | form because it is not true. It could not be reality, because it can |
Tx:22.35 | be reality, because it can be changed. Reason will tell you that, if | form is not reality, it must be an illusion and is not there to see. |
Tx:22.36 | Let not the | form of his mistakes keep you from him whose holiness is yours. Let |
Tx:22.54 | holy relationship has the power to heal all pain, regardless of its | form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint will |
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 |
Tx:22.57 | hidden what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot overlook? What | form of suffering could block your sight, preventing you from seeing |
Tx:22.62 | believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any | form because it has no meaning. The only way it could be justified is |
Tx:23.12 | from each other. Both are not true. And so it matters not what | form they take. What made them is insane, and they remain part of |
Tx:23.17 | forms are different. And they do battle only to establish which | form is true. |
Tx:23.34 | No law of chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on | form and disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is |
Tx:23.35 | How can some forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any | form be love? What form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his |
Tx:23.35 | of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be love? What | form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior powerless |
Tx:23.35 | Who makes his savior powerless and finds salvation? Let not the | form of the attack on him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him |
Tx:23.35 | safety from attack by turning on himself? How can it matter what the | form this madness takes? It is a judgment that defeats itself, |
Tx:23.35 | what it says it wants to save. Be not deceived when madness takes a | form you think is lovely. What is intent on your destruction is not |
Tx:23.36 | Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the | form they take with content such as this? Can any form of this be |
Tx:23.36 | you perceive the form they take with content such as this? Can any | form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them for the form they take |
Tx:23.36 | this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them for the | form they take and do not recognize the content. It never changes. |
Tx:23.38 | bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their | form. And lack of faith in love in any form attests to chaos as |
Tx:23.38 | they imply, not for their form. And lack of faith in love in any | form attests to chaos as reality. |
Tx:23.39 | do follow neatly from their starting point. Each is a different | form in the progression of truth's reversal, leading still deeper |
Tx:23.40 | the rest for what they are. And they will follow. Attack in any | form has placed your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from |
Tx:23.41 | some of the forms attack can take? If it is true attack in any | form will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another form |
Tx:23.41 | in any form will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another | form which you do recognize, then it must follow that you do not |
Tx:23.41 | that you do not always recognize the source of pain. Attack in any | form is equally destructive. Its purpose does not change. Its sole |
Tx:23.41 | Its purpose does not change. Its sole intent is murder, and what | form of murder serves to cover the massive guilt and frantic fear of |
Tx:23.41 | guilt the thought entails. If the intent is death, what matter the | form it takes? |
Tx:23.42 | Is death in any | form, however lovely and charitable it may seem to be, a blessing and |
Tx:23.44 | Would you not want to recognize assault upon your peace in any | form, if only thus does it become impossible that you lose sight of |
Tx:23.46 | and the unnatural intent to murder and to die. Think you the | form that murder takes can offer safety? Can guilt be absent from a |
Tx:23.47 | only place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any | form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and |
Tx:23.47 | fight against your wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the | form it takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you fear and |
Tx:23.47 | takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you fear and not the | form. What is not love is murder. What is not loving must be an |
Tx:23.50 | complete as yet, and so it cannot be extended to all creation. Each | form of murder and attack that still attracts you and that you do not |
Tx:23.50 | in it no more. This is your part—to realize that murder in any | form is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is now |
Tx:24.27 | Whatever | form of specialness you cherish, you have made sin. Inviolate it |
Tx:24.41 | There is no dream of specialness—however hidden or disguised the | form; however lovely it may seem to be; however much it delicately |
Tx:25.15 | it is gone within your mind to darken what is there. Take not the | form for content, for the form is but a means for content. And the |
Tx:25.15 | mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for content, for the | form is but a means for content. And the frame is but a means to hold |
Tx:25.23 | from this, to hold it up and offer it support. This is perception's | form adapted to this world of God's more basic law that love creates |
Tx:25.26 | the law itself upholds the universe as God created it, but in some | form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected |
Tx:25.36 | state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any | form. This can you bring to all the world and all the thoughts that |
Tx:25.39 | Nor do you hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in whatever | form the call is made, that you unite with him and join with him in |
Tx:25.47 | Here, where the laws of God do not prevail in perfect | form, can he yet do one perfect thing and make one perfect choice. |
Tx:25.48 | it, he made it for himself. His wish was not denied but changed in | form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a means |
Tx:25.53 | Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the | form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified |
Tx:25.53 | any way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any | form of reason believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the |
Tx:25.56 | Your special function is the special | form in which the fact that God is not insane appears most sensible |
Tx:25.56 | most sensible and meaningful to you. The content is the same. The | form is suited to your special needs and to the special time and |
Tx:25.56 | God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the | form of sanity which makes it most acceptable to those who are insane |
Tx:25.57 | chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is given the choice of | form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the world he |
Tx:25.58 | Now must he question this because the | form of the alternative is one which he cannot deny nor overlook nor |
Tx:25.60 | were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a | form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules the world”? For |
Tx:25.66 | should lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in whatever | form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is |
Tx:26.10 | approach. The aspects which need solving do not change, whatever | form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, |
Tx:26.10 | lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special | form. It will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has |
Tx:26.10 | it has been answered for all time and will not rise again in any | form. And only then are you released from it. |
Tx:26.11 | have. They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the | form it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make |
Tx:26.12 | This one mistake in any | form has one correction. There is no loss; to think there is, is a |
Tx:26.16 | for all your problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any | form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved |
Tx:26.61 | in its effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any | form is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. |
Tx:26.62 | were made another purpose that would justify a miracle, whatever | form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for God gave |
Tx:26.70 | its purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In this | form is the error still obscured that is the source of fear. |
Tx:26.73 | from God. And yet it seems as if this is not so. Good in disaster's | form is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really sense in |
Tx:26.74 | Why should the good appear in evil's | form? And is it not deception if it does? Its cause is here if it |
Tx:26.74 | disaster strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but now in | form of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost |
Tx:26.75 | mind. And this illusion is but one effect which it engenders and one | form in which its outcome is perceived. This interval in time, when |
Tx:26.75 | This interval in time, when retribution is perceived to be the | form in which the “good” appears, is but one aspect of the little |
Tx:26.76 | you have cause for freedom now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's | form? Why should deliverance be disguised as death? Delay is |
Tx:26.76 | And do not let it be disguised as time and so preserved because its | form is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy |
Tx:26.85 | If it occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in whatever | form, will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at |
Tx:26.87 | You cannot be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but another | form of the idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection |
Tx:27.5 | Sickness is but a “little” death; a | form of vengeance not yet total. Yet it speaks with certainty for |
Tx:27.7 | paint the picture in which sin is justified, is sickness in whatever | form it takes. |
Tx:27.33 | is no symbol for totality. Reality is ultimately known without a | form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as |
Tx:27.38 | asks and answers, both attesting the same thing in different | form. |
Tx:27.39 | escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” Whatever | form the question takes, its purpose is the same. It asks but to |
Tx:27.39 | is the same. It asks but to establish sin is real and answers in the | form of preference. “Which sin do you prefer? That is the one which |

Tx:27.40 | answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a | form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's witnesses are but |
Tx:27.86 | but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No matter what the | form of the attack, this still is true. Whoever takes the role of |
Tx:27.86 | single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, whatever | form it takes. |
Tx:27.87 | lesson of deliverance until it has been learned, regardless of the | form of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to |
Tx:27.87 | very simple truth. For this one answer takes away the cause of every | form of sorrow and of pain. The form affects His answer not at all, |
Tx:27.87 | answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The | form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the |
Tx:27.87 | teach you but the single cause of all of them, no matter what their | form. And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple |
Tx:28.31 | The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and every | form of ill because it is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And |
Tx:28.38 | right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever | form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You find yourself |
Tx:28.63 | of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be made in terms of | form. The choice of sickness seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is |
Tx:28.63 | be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness seems to be a | form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are sick or well |
Tx:29.26 | is seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the | form it seems to take. The fear is seen within, without, or both. Or |
Tx:29.26 | is seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant | form. But never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material |
Tx:29.26 | fear is the material of dreams from which they all are made. Their | form can change, but they cannot be made of something else. The |
Tx:29.27 | In simplest | form it can be said attack is a response to function unfulfilled as |
Tx:29.30 | love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights whatever | form it takes with love. |
Tx:29.36 | it was made for hate and will continue in death's services. Each | form it takes in some way calls for death. And those who serve the |
Tx:29.38 | and misery and pain? These questions are the same in different | form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of |
Tx:29.45 | and does not understand the idol that he seeks is but his death. Its | form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's |
Tx:29.47 | its lifelessness is really death, conceived as real and given living | form. Yet each must fail and crumble and decay because a form of |
Tx:29.47 | living form. Yet each must fail and crumble and decay because a | form of death cannot be life, and what is sacrificed cannot be whole. |
Tx:29.52 | he is. Idols are made that he may be replaced, no matter what their | form. And it is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a |
Tx:29.53 | Let not their | form deceive you. Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some |
Tx:29.54 | An idol is a false impression or a false belief—some | form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the Christ and |
Tx:29.54 | Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and given | form and thus perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is |
Tx:29.54 | a thought and cannot leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its | form apart from the idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ |
Tx:29.55 | one blade of grass from something living to a sign of death. Its | form is nowhere, for its source abides within your mind, where God |
Tx:29.55 | and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no | form in which he ever will be real. |
Tx:29.57 | has been set by the idea this power and place and time are given | form and shape the world where the impossible has happened. Here the |
Tx:29.69 | Whenever you feel fear in any | form—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a |
Tx:30.2 | with a little practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to | form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself |
Tx:30.31 | permits all things to happen. Nothing can be caused without some | form of union, be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for God. |
Tx:30.38 | But your will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no | form nor is content for its expression in the terms of form. Idols |
Tx:30.38 | so it has no form nor is content for its expression in the terms of | form. Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are forms |
Tx:30.39 | It is not | form you seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's |
Tx:30.39 | It is not form you seek. What | form can be a substitute for God the Father's love? What form can |
Tx:30.39 | seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's love? What | form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the |
Tx:30.39 | will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the | form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So |
Tx:30.39 | So you see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific | form. Yet this could never be your will because what shares in all |
Tx:30.40 | for every idol lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no | form because it is unlimited. To seek a special person or a thing to |
Tx:30.40 | to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you believe some | form is missing. And by finding this, you will achieve completion in |
Tx:30.40 | is missing. And by finding this, you will achieve completion in a | form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not |
Tx:30.41 | is but God's Will, and this is given you by being His. God knows not | form. He cannot answer you in terms which have no meaning. And your |
Tx:30.42 | If there were change in him, if he could be reduced to any | form and limited to what is not in him, he would not be as God |
Tx:30.42 | really asked for cannot be denied. Your will is granted. Not in any | form that would content you not, but in the whole completely lovely |
Tx:30.53 | they are appearances and not reality. Dwell not on them in any | form. They but obscure reality, and they bring fear because they hide |
Tx:30.58 | there, for guilt is understood as the sole cause of pain in any | form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering and death |
Tx:30.74 | There would be an error that is more than a mistake—a special | form of error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond |
Tx:30.89 | before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to | form and capable of change. Reality is changeless. It is this that |
Tx:30.89 | and keeps it separate from all appearances. It must transcend all | form to be itself. It cannot change. |
Tx:30.90 | you perceive as his reality. The happy dream about him takes the | form of the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect freedom |
Tx:30.90 | The miracle is proof he is not bound by loss or suffering in any | form because it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it |
Tx:30.93 | to heal all things that change and offer them to you to see in happy | form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your brother |
Tx:31.3 | which you went to practice and repeat the lessons endlessly in every | form you could conceive of them could ever doubt the power of your |
Tx:31.10 | the dying world! You do not understand Who calls to you beyond each | form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you |
Tx:31.24 | you want and needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a different | form in him, but it is not the form you answer to. He asks and you |
Tx:31.24 | as you. It takes perhaps a different form in him, but it is not the | form you answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have come with |
Tx:31.26 | hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever | form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that you |
Tx:31.38 | learning that the world can offer but one choice, no matter what its | form may be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real |
Tx:31.69 | but will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful | form, with content still concealed, to shake your sorry concept of |
Tx:31.79 | Whatever | form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish to be a |
Tx:31.92 | and in hell. Yield not to this, and you will see all pain in every | form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists before the sun. A |
W1:4.3 | and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different | form. The aim here is to train you in the first steps toward the goal |
W1:5.1 | as different. This is not true. However, until you learn that | form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the |
W1:5.1 | not true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each | form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying |
W1:5.2 | the idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any | form, use both the name of the form in which you see the upset and |
W1:5.2 | perceived cause of an upset in any form, use both the name of the | form in which you see the upset and the cause which you ascribe to |
W1:5.9 | I cannot keep this | form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these |
W1:6.1 | to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the | form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the |
W1:6.7 | I cannot keep this | form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these |
W1:10.2 | This is the second time we have used this kind of idea. The | form is only slightly different. This time the idea is introduced |
W1:11.1 | world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial | form, for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to |
W1:13.1 | Today's idea is really another | form of the preceding one, except that it is more specific as to the |
W1:13.8 | You may find it difficult to avoid resistance in one | form or another to this concluding statement. Whatever form such |
W1:13.8 | in one form or another to this concluding statement. Whatever | form such resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really |
W1:16.7 | of a particular thought which arouses uneasiness. The following | form is suggested for this purpose: |
W1:21.2 | or anticipated, which arouse anger in you. The anger may take the | form of any reaction ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree |
W1:21.6 | this aspect. If your perception of the person is suffering from this | form of distortion, say: |
W1:22.4 | see nothing that will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a | form of vengeance. |
W1:24.5 | as possible that you would like to be met in its resolution. The | form of each application should be roughly as follows: |
W1:26.6 | whose outcomes are causing you concern. The concern may take the | form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, fear, |
W1:31.1 | and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a | form of practice which will be used more and more, with changes as |
W1:31.1 | more and more, with changes as indicated. Generally speaking, the | form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more |
W1:31.5 | for today is a particularly useful one to use as a response to any | form of temptation. It is a declaration that you will not yield to it |
W1:33.5 | yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help in this | form of application. |
W1:34.5 | protect yourself from temptation throughout the day. If a specific | form of temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should take |
W1:34.5 | temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should take this | form: |
W1:34.7 | If the inroads on your peace of mind take the | form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as depression, |
W1:34.7 | such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the idea in its original | form. If you find you need more than one application of today's idea |
W1:35.11 | the idea for today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the | form stated above. If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat |
W1:36.2 | throughout the day. The longer practice periods should take this | form: |
W1:38.3 | of your holiness to all problems, difficulties, or suffering in any | form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else. We will |
W1:38.4 | specifically and also the name of the person concerned. Use this | form in applying the idea for today: |
W1:38.9 | In the frequent shorter applications, apply the idea in its original | form unless a specific problem concerning you or someone else arises |
W1:38.9 | else arises or comes to mind. In that event, use the more specific | form of application. |
W1:39.6 | Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever | form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, |
W1:39.6 | anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever | form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is |
W1:39.11 | free to introduce variety into your practice periods in whatever | form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the idea itself in |
W1:39.12 | End each practice period by repeating the idea in its original | form once more, and adding: |
W1:39.14 | or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful | form of the idea is: |
W1:43.12 | In applying today's idea in the shorter practice periods, the | form may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which |
W1:43.14 | This | form is equally applicable to strangers and to those you know well. |
W1:43.15 | distress you in any way. For this kind of application, use this | form: |
W1:43.17 | itself to your awareness, merely repeat the idea in its original | form. |
W1:44.3 | to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a | form of practice which has been suggested before and which we will |
W1:44.3 | which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult | form for the undisciplined mind and represents a major goal of mind |
W1:44.4 | the time merely slipping by with little or no sense of strain. The | form of exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one |
W1:44.5 | mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the | form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will |
W1:44.5 | resistance. The reason is very simple. While you practice in this | form, you leave behind everything that you now believe and all the |
W1:44.8 | While no particular | form of approach is advocated, what is needful is a sense of the |
W1:44.9 | If resistance rises in any | form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes |
W1:45.4 | five-minute practice periods for today will take the same general | form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We will attempt to |
W1:45.12 | In using the shorter | form for applying today's idea, try to remember how important it is |
W1:46.10 | The | form of the applications may vary considerably, but the central idea |
W1:46.13 | a repetition of the idea for today in the original or in a related | form as you prefer. Be sure, however, to make more specific |
W1:R1.6 | purposes the ideas are not always given in quite their original | form of statement. Use them as they are given here. It is not |
W1:54.4 | Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it could | form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of |
W1:55.3 | [22] What I see is a | form of vengeance. The world I see is hardly the representation of |
W1:64.2 | Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can be anything but a | form of temptation, since this was the purpose of the body itself. |
W1:64.6 | Can such a simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the | form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply |
W1:64.6 | to make? Let not the form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of | form does not imply complexity of content. It is impossible that any |
W1:65.12 | periods, which should be undertaken at least once an hour, use this | form in applying today's idea: |
W1:66.14 | which would be most helpful today if undertaken twice an hour, this | form of the application is suggested: |
W1:68.11 | periods should include a quick application of today's idea in this | form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone, |
W1:68.13 | In addition, repeat the idea several times an hour in this | form: |
W1:70.1 | All temptation is nothing more than some | form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for today. |
W1:71.13 | temptation to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this | form of today's idea: |
W1:73.17 | hour. It is most important, however, to apply today's idea in this | form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. |
W1:79.6 | could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what | form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its |
W1:79.10 | Be not deceived by the | form of problems today. Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell |
W1:R2.2 | The longer practice periods will follow this general | form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking |
W1:R2.3 | to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever | form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. |
W1:R2.5 | in the shorter practice periods as well, using the original | form of the idea for general application and a more specific form |
W1:R2.5 | form of the idea for general application and a more specific | form when needed. Some specific forms will be included in the |
W1:90.2 | can be solved. Let me realize today that the problem is always some | form of grievance which I would cherish. Let me also understand that |
W1:91.14 | in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's idea. This | form would be helpful for this special purpose: |
W1:95.6 | terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial | form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those |
W1:99.7 | along with Him. He has one answer to appearances regardless of their | form, their size, their depth, or any attribute they seem to have: |
W1:101.2 | and it will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some | form which evens the account they owe to God. They would escape Him |
W1:101.4 | If sin is real, its offering is death and meted out in cruel | form to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is |
W1:107.5 | or change to something else. It does not shift and alter in its | form, nor come and go and go and come again. It stays exactly as it |
W1:R3.11 | think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you | form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you |
W1:121.10 | despise or merely try to overlook. It does not matter what the | form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He will |
W1:130.12 | would show to you. All you need say to any part of hell, whatever | form it takes, is simply this: |
W1:132.8 | lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some | form which they can understand and recognize. Some see it suddenly on |
W1:133.7 | no offering to him who chooses it. He is deceived by nothing in a | form he thinks he likes. |
W1:134.9 | When you feel that you are tempted to accuse someone of sin in any | form, do not allow your mind to dwell on what you think he did, for |
W1:138.2 | in God's creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some | form the world can understand. Truth cannot come where it could only |
W1:138.6 | In this insanely complicated world, Heaven appears to take the | form of choice rather than merely being what it is. Of all the |
W1:140.1 | illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another | form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well. |
W1:140.3 | The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another | form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. His happy |
W1:140.4 | Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another | form of guilt. Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a |
W1:140.6 | by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the | form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is and knows that no |
W1:140.10 | our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever | form they took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing |
W1:153.4 | all the prices which the ego would exact. In them lies madness in a | form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, |
W1:153.15 | Today we practice in a | form we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by |
W1:157.8 | The time will come when you will not return in the same | form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet |
W1:158.9 | lies beyond them comes to take their place. It matters not what | form they took nor how enormous they appeared to be nor who seemed to |
W1:161.5 | at last puts out our life. Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete | form of fear. Fear without symbols calls for no response, for symbols |
W1:161.7 | must be a thing to be attacked. An enemy must be perceived in such a | form he can be touched and seen and heard and ultimately killed. When |
W1:161.9 | his reality. And in Christ's vision is his loveliness reflected in a | form so holy and so beautiful that you could scarce refrain from |
W1:161.11 | Today we practice in a | form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you |
W1:161.12 | salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can in that same | form to which you are accustomed. See his face, his hands and feet, |
W1:163.6 | It is impossible to worship death in any | form and still select a few you would not cherish and would yet avoid |
W1:163.8 | them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now in every | form for their salvation and our own as well. God made not death. |
W1:163.8 | their salvation and our own as well. God made not death. Whatever | form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we take |
W1:167.4 | own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, time, and | form. |
W1:167.7 | The opposite of life can only be another | form of life. As such, it can be reconciled with what created it |
W1:167.7 | with what created it because it is not opposite in truth. Its | form may change; it may appear to be what it is not. Yet mind is |
W1:167.10 | dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death in any | form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an |
W1:170.12 | you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in still another | form, and so the fear of God returned with you. This time you leave |
W1:181.5 | recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks our way in any | form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will |
W1:185.1 | an instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any | form, in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to |
W1:185.3 | gain to loss and loss to gain takes on a different aspect or another | form. |
W1:185.4 | Yet compromise alone a dream can bring. Sometimes it takes the | form of union, but only the form. The meaning must escape the dream, |
W1:185.4 | dream can bring. Sometimes it takes the form of union, but only the | form. The meaning must escape the dream, for compromising is the goal |
W1:185.5 | are one to him. And he has learned their only difference is one of | form, for one will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest. |
W1:185.6 | wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it are given in a | form each mind which seeks for it in honesty can understand. Whatever |
W1:185.6 | each mind which seeks for it in honesty can understand. Whatever | form the lesson takes is planned for him in such a way that he cannot |
W1:185.6 | his asking is sincere. And if he asks without sincerity, there is no | form in which the lesson will meet with acceptance and be truly |
W1:185.8 | happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering illusions, for their | form is not what matters now. Let not some dreams be more acceptable, |
W1:186.9 | on what he is. They blow across his mind like windswept leaves that | form a patterning an instant, break apart to group again, and scamper |
W1:186.13 | not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the | form most useful in a world of form. |
W1:186.13 | is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of | form. |
W1:186.14 | they come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly | form of love which as it is in Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed |
W1:186.14 | is an earthly form of love which as it is in Heaven has no | form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is needed. In this |
W1:186.14 | form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is needed. In this | form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what love |
W1:187.2 | give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the | form in which the thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet |
W1:187.2 | changed in giving. Yet it must return to him who gives. Nor can the | form it takes be less acceptable. It must be more. |
W1:187.4 | thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its | form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however |
W1:187.4 | unrecognizable in time, however much you try to keep it safe. No | form endures. It is the thought behind the form of things that lives |
W1:187.4 | try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the | form of things that lives unchangeable. |
W1:187.5 | both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the thought in | form most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always something |
W1:187.8 | correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No | form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of |
W1:187.9 | look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of | form and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to |
W1:187.11 | everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in | form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for |
W1:189.2 | you came, and sings your praises as it keeps you safe from every | form of danger and of pain. It offers you a warm and gentle home in |
W1:190.1 | Pain is a wrong perspective. When it is experienced in any | form, it is a proof of self-deception. It is not a fact at all. There |
W1:190.1 | is a proof of self-deception. It is not a fact at all. There is no | form it takes which will not disappear if seen aright. For pain |
W1:190.1 | aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How could it be real in any | form? It witnesses to God the Father's hatred of His Son, the |
W1:190.8 | Pain is the thought of evil taking | form and working havoc in your holy mind. Pain is the ransom you have |
W1:192.3 | the closest it can come to earth. For being Heaven-borne, it has no | form at all. Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into |
W1:192.3 | form at all. Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into | form the wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so |
W1:193.3 | no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be given | form in which it could be offered to the world. And He created One |
W1:193.3 | be offered to the world. And He created One Who could perceive what | form this law should take, to be received by every mind which had |
W1:193.5 | Each lesson has a central thought, the same in all of them. The | form alone is changed, with different circumstances and events, with |
W1:193.7 | to be but unforgiveness. Yet that is the content underneath the | form. It is this sameness which makes learning sure because the |
W1:193.16 | in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in forgiveness in the | form established for the day. And try to give it application to the |
W1:193.20 | To every apprehension, every care, and every | form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. And then you hold the |

M:2.3 | emphasizes, you are not free to choose the curriculum or even the | form in which you will learn it. You are free, however, to decide |
M:5.3 | his Father over him. It represents the ultimate defiance in a direct | form which the Son of God is forced to recognize. It stands for all |
M:5.5 | is. Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give | form to his own choice. He chooses them to bring tangible form to his |
M:5.5 | but give form to his own choice. He chooses them to bring tangible | form to his desires. And it is this they do, and nothing else. They |
M:5.5 | up without their aid and say, “I have no use for this.” There is no | form of sickness that would not be cured at once. |
M:7.4 | because of the appearance of continuing symptoms is a mistake in the | form of lack of trust. As such, it is an attack. Usually it seems to |
M:7.4 | coexist. And hate must be the opposite of love, regardless of the | form it takes. Doubt not the gift, and it is impossible to doubt its |
M:7.5 | there is a guilty embarrassment stemming from false humility. The | form of the mistake is not important. What is important is only the |
M:7.6 | The mistake is always some | form of concern with the self to the exclusion of the patient. It is |

W1:R4.10 | which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we will use no | format for our practicing but this: |
formed (6) | ||
Tx:15.52 | Everyone on earth has | formed special relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, |
Tx:15.74 | Whenever you are angry, you can be sure that you have | formed a special relationship which the ego has “blessed,” for anger |
Tx:17.18 | begins to fade and to be questioned almost at once. Once it is | formed, doubt must enter in because its purpose is impossible. The |
Tx:17.19 | of excluding even the one with whom the union was sought. For it was | formed to get him out of it and join with fantasies in uninterrupted |
W1:95.5 | the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet | formed the habit of using it as an automatic response to temptation. |
M:3.5 | third level of teaching occurs in relationships which, once they are | formed, are lifelong. These are teaching-learning situations in which |
former (10) | ||
Tx:1.106 | turn produced tyranny. I told you that you are now restored to your | former role in the plan of Atonement, but you must still choose |
Tx:4.47 | on inhibiting the latter, but salvation depends on disinhibiting the | former. The reason you need my help is because you have repressed |
Tx:5.77 | in later generations retains the power to interpret correctly what | former generations have thought and thus release their thoughts from |
Tx:7.20 | can you validly compare responses, and you must assume the | former, because if the latter were true, the subject would not do |
Tx:8.97 | either that there is no God or that God's Will is fearful. The | former accounts for the atheist and the latter for the martyr. |
Tx:17.46 | relationship has not as yet been changed sufficiently to make its | former goal completely without attraction, and its structure is |
Tx:17.47 | of the relationship may even become quite disorganized. And yet, the | former organization of their perception no longer serves the purpose |
Tx:17.49 | thus—substitute for this another relationship to which your | former goal was quite appropriate. You can escape from your distress |
W1:121.12 | a friend. Try to transfer the light you learned to see around your | former “enemy” to him. Perceive him now as more than friend to you, |
M:10.1 | and “bad” judgment, and his education aims at strengthening the | former and minimizing the latter. There is, however, considerable |

W1:192.3 | God created One Who has the power to translate into form the wholly | formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking |
W2:314.1 | on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and being | formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future now, for |
formlessness (2) | ||
W1:186.14 | These are the forms which never can deceive, although they come from | Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which as |
W1:186.14 | your function even here, although what love will mean to you when | formlessness has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of |
forms (158) | ||
Tx:1.106 | Fantasies of any kind are distorted | forms of thinking, because they always involve twisting perception |
Tx:2.54 | in matter which the mind cannot control. This error can take two | forms—it can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the body or |
Tx:2.62 | or the miscreative use of the mind. Physical medications are | forms of “spells.” Those who are afraid to use the mind to heal |
Tx:2.64 | and has literally upset it (or turned it upside-down). All | forms of not-right-mindedness are the result of refusal to accept the |
Tx:2.92 | himself because he is afraid of his own thoughts. In some | forms of insanity, thoughts are glorified, but this is only because |
Tx:3.5 | what has been created and what is being created is essential. All | forms of correction (or healing) rest on this fundamental correction |
Tx:3.14 | give this one up because of its prominent “escape” value. In milder | forms a parent says, “This hurts me more than it hurts you,” and |
Tx:3.18 | Good can withstand any form of evil because light abolishes all | forms of darkness. The Atonement is thus the perfect lesson. It is |
Tx:4.15 | The ego tries to exploit all situations into | forms of praise for itself in order to overcome its doubts. It will |
Tx:4.40 | inventiveness is really wasted effort, even in its most ingenious | forms. We do not have to explain anything. This is why we need not |
Tx:4.95 | are quite specific in their own judgment. For example, although all | forms of perceived demands may be classified or judged by the ego as |
Tx:6.24 | for their joint salvation. Each one must learn to teach that all | forms of rejection are utterly meaningless. The separation is the |
Tx:8.82 | Wholeness heals because it is of the mind. All | forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical expressions of the |
Tx:8.88 | is sickness. Yet sickness is not of the body, but of the mind. All | forms of dysfunction are merely signs that the mind has split and |
Tx:8.97 | for the atheist and the latter for the martyr. Martyrdom takes many | forms, the category including all doctrines which hold that God |
Tx:8.108 | what you want, even if it is. This accounts for why certain specific | forms of healing are not achieved, even though the state of healing |
Tx:9.23 | The newer | forms of the ego's plan are as unhelpful as the older ones, because |
Tx:9.23 | Spirit and therefore does not matter at all. According to the newer | forms of the ego's plan, the therapist interprets the ego's symbols |
Tx:9.26 | nor can an “unimportant mind” esteem itself without magic. Both | forms of the ego's approach, then, must arrive at an impasse, the |
Tx:9.77 | worship the same idol he does. God created love, not idolatry. All | forms of idolatry are caricatures of creation, taught by sick minds |
Tx:9.93 | sense is very literal; denial of life perceives its opposite, as all | forms of denial replace what is with what is not. No one can really |
Tx:9.95 | made him out of your insanity, he is an insane idea. He has many | forms, but although he may seem like many different things he is but |
Tx:9.104 | to feel depressed. All of these illusions and the many other | forms which blasphemy may take are refusals to accept creation as it |
Tx:10.34 | light. Remember also that the denial of this simple fact takes many | forms, and these you must learn to recognize and to oppose |
Tx:12.33 | it is extended, for it increases as it is given. The other has many | forms, for the content of individual illusions differs greatly. Yet |
Tx:13.56 | all the distortions you have made of nothing—all the strange | forms and feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven out |
Tx:13.62 | nothing. The key is only the light which shines away the shapes and | forms and fears of nothing. Accept this key to freedom from the hands |
Tx:14.7 | yourself with active willingness to the denial of guilt in all its | forms. To accuse is not to understand. The happy learners of the |
Tx:15.74 | the ego has “blessed,” for anger is its blessing. Anger takes many | forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that love |
Tx:15.95 | 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 always fear |
Tx:15.95 | by which it burrows underground and hides in darkness, to emerge in | forms quite different from what it is. Yet it is necessary to examine |
Tx:18.3 | both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take many | forms, and each seems to require a different form of acting out for |
Tx:18.4 | that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many | forms because it was the substitution of illusion for truth, of |
Tx:18.19 | in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have different | forms, and that is all. Their content is the same. They are your |
Tx:18.25 | shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser | forms of fear and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance |
Tx:18.91 | all there. Figures stand out and move about, actions seem real, and | forms appear and shift from loveliness to the grotesque. And back and |
Tx:22.35 | Only mistakes have different | forms, and so they can deceive. You can change form because it is not |
Tx:23.17 | is remembered except illusions. Illusions can conflict because their | forms are different. And they do battle only to establish which form |
Tx:23.34 | No one who thinks that one of them is true sees what it says. Some | forms it takes seem to have meaning, and that is all. |
Tx:23.35 | How can some | forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be love? |
Tx:23.37 | and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but | forms. Their content is never true. |
Tx:23.38 | The laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their | forms conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the |
Tx:23.38 | a certain witness that these laws are true. The seeming gentler | forms of the attack are no less certain in their witnessing or their |
Tx:23.41 | Is it not true you do not recognize some of the | forms attack can take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you |
Tx:23.45 | forgiveness side by side with the belief that murder takes some | forms by which their peace is saved? Would they be willing to accept |
Tx:23.51 | is not real and easily escaped. Bodies may battle, but the clash of | forms is meaningless. And it is over when you realize it never was |
Tx:23.52 | and murderous, remember you can see the battle from above. Even in | forms you do not recognize, the signs you know. There is a stab of |
Tx:24.5 | though unrecognized, is faith in specialness. This takes many | forms but always clashes with the reality of God's creation and with |
Tx:25.35 | the light. They linger for a while, a little while, in twisted | forms too far away for recognition and are gone forever. And in the |
Tx:25.77 | justice can prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all | forms. The world deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a |
Tx:26.10 | form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many | forms, and it will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no |
Tx:26.48 | It cannot be perceived, but only known. What is perceived takes many | forms, but none has meaning. Brought to truth, its senselessness is |
Tx:26.49 | God given answer to the world of sickness which applies to all its | forms. God's answer is eternal, though it operates in time where it |
Tx:26.61 | of effect without the cause can merely shift effects to other | forms. And this is not release. God's Son could never be content with |
Tx:26.68 | separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes different | forms. If it has been projected beyond your minds, you think of it as |
Tx:26.86 | What does it mean if you perceive attack in certain | forms to be unfair to you? It means that there must be some forms in |
Tx:26.86 | certain forms to be unfair to you? It means that there must be some | forms in which you think it fair. For otherwise, how could some be |
Tx:27.50 | Problems are not specific, but they take specific | forms, and these specific shapes make up the world. And no one |
Tx:27.50 | This is because they really are the same despite their different | forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete within |
Tx:27.78 | The dreaming of the world takes many | forms, because the body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous |
Tx:27.79 | change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many | forms and seems to show a great variety of places and events wherein |
Tx:27.83 | a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are | forms of circularity whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at |
Tx:27.89 | Bring, then, all | forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the rest. |
Tx:28.45 | recognized as being part of the completed picture of God's Son! The | forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the whole is |
Tx:28.53 | in fog, and misty pictures rise to cover it with vague, uncertain | forms and changing shapes, forever unsubstantial and unsure. Yet in |
Tx:28.63 | are based upon this choice and given you the instant it is made. No | forms of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be made in |
Tx:29.54 | its source. Nor is its form apart from the idea it represents. All | forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall before His face like |
Tx:29.59 | with hope of finding more of something else. Be not deceived by | forms the “something” takes. An idol is a means for getting more. And |
Tx:29.67 | forgiving dreams can enter here, for time is almost over. And the | forms which enter in the dream are now perceived as brothers, not in |
Tx:30.38 | terms of form. Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are | forms which will bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all |
Tx:30.41 | have no meaning. And your will could not be satisfied with empty | forms made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you |
Tx:30.47 | the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of | forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of |
Tx:30.51 | The gap that is not there is filled with toys in countless | forms. And each one seems to break the rules you set for it. It never |
Tx:30.75 | surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a belief there are some | forms of sickness and of joylessness forgiveness cannot heal. This |
Tx:30.76 | It must be true the miracle can heal all | forms of sickness, or it cannot heal. Its purpose cannot be to judge |
Tx:30.76 | of sickness, or it cannot heal. Its purpose cannot be to judge which | forms are real and which appearances are true. If one appearance must |

Tx:30.80 | Here is the joyful statement that there are no | forms of evil which can overcome the Will of God—the glad |
Tx:30.90 | the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect freedom from all | forms of lack, and safety from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is |
Tx:30.91 | be the wish that no reality be so. Yet it is an assertion that some | forms of idols have a powerful appeal which makes them harder to |
Tx:31.8 | it was. And now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by | forms the call was hidden in. And so you did not hear it and had lost |
Tx:31.38 | for different pathways in the world is but the search for different | forms of truth. And this would keep the truth from being reached. |
Tx:31.40 | than that the power of decision cannot lie in choosing different | forms of what is still the same illusion and the same mistake. All |
Tx:31.58 | The role of the accuser will appear in many places and in many | forms. And each will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no fear it |
Tx:31.83 | Temptation has one lesson it would teach in all its | forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is |
W1:5.1 | depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, or any number of | forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not true. |
W1:5.4 | search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you believe and | forms of upset which you think result. |
W1:5.10 | more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of different | forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of the relative |
W1:9.2 | disturbing and may meet with active resistance in any number of | forms. Yet that does not preclude applying it. No more than that is |
W1:15.3 | you may have many “light episodes.” They may take many different | forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be afraid of them. They |
W1:16.3 | destructive but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many | forms before you really understand it. |
W1:21.3 | This is not so. It is merely an example of the belief that some | forms of attack are more justified than others. |
W1:21.4 | As you search your mind for all the | forms in which attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in |
W1:41.2 | forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic | forms it may take. Deep within you is everything that is perfect, |
W1:50.1 | being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of | forms of nothingness which you endow with magical powers. All these |
W1:64.11 | Two | forms of shorter practice periods are required. At times, do the |
W1:66.1 | more than just a connection between them; they are the same. Their | forms are different, but their content is completely one. |
W1:66.11 | during the longer practice period today. Think also about the many | forms which the illusion of your function has taken in your mind and |
W1:79.5 | appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying | forms, and with such varied content that they confront you with an |
W1:80.3 | certain you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many | forms will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem—one |

W1:134.7 | It sees their nothingness and looks right through the thousand | forms in which they may appear. It looks on lies but it is not |
W1:135.15 | at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to realize in some | forms which these self-deceptions take, for the denial of reality is |
W1:138.6 | with it, for all decisions but conceal this one by taking different | forms. Here is the final and the only choice in which is truth |
W1:140.1 | no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its | forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One |
W1:140.4 | that sickness can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by | forms the dream may take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, |
W1:140.9 | no degrees and no beliefs that what does not exist is truer in some | forms than others. All of them are false and can be cured because |
W1:R4.5 | Let us begin our preparation with some understanding of the many | forms in which the lack of true forgiveness may be carefully |
W1:163.1 | Death is a thought which takes on many | forms, often unrecognized. It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety, |
W1:163.1 | faithlessness, and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all | forms in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. |
W1:167.2 | call it death. Yet we have learned that the idea of death takes many | forms. It is the one idea which underlies all feelings that are not |
W1:170.9 | make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty takes many | forms. Another can be found. |
W1:185.9 | with every twist and turning of the road to reappear unrecognized in | forms which shift and change with every step you take. |
W1:186.14 | These are the | forms which never can deceive, although they come from Formlessness |
W1:187.6 | at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many | forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, |
W1:187.7 | as what it is. The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the | forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad |
W1:193.7 | forever from a truth so very obvious that it appears in countless | forms and yet is recognized as easily in all of them if one but wants |
W1:193.9 | your tribulations, all your pain, all suffering regardless of its | forms. These are the words with which temptation ends and guilt, |
W1:200.4 | You have not found your happiness in foreign places and in alien | forms which have no meaning to you, though you sought to make them |
W1:R6.6 | We will attempt to get beyond all words and special | forms of practicing for this review. For we attempt this time to |
W2:262.1 | today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand | forms in what remains as one? Why should I give this one a thousand |
W2:268.1 | attempt to interfere with Your creation and distort it into sickly | forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity and |
W2:293.1 | with all my past mistakes oppressing it and showing me distorted | forms of pain? Yet in the present, love is obvious and its effects |
W2:295.1 | all of us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different | forms, but love is one. |
M:1.4 | form of the universal course. There are many thousands of other | forms, all with the same outcome. They merely save time. Yet it is |
M:5.5 | the body is the basis of healing. And this is so for healing in all | forms. A patient decides that this is so, and he recovers. If he |
M:5.10 | Not once do the advanced teachers of God consider the | forms of sickness in which their brother believes. To do this is to |
M:7.5 | for only such a self can be doubted. This illusion can take many | forms. Perhaps there is a fear of weakness and vulnerability. Perhaps |
M:12.2 | from each other? What does it matter if they then appear in many | forms? Their minds are one; their joining is complete. And God works |
M:16.9 | this goal nearer to recognition. For magic of any kind, in all its | forms, simply does nothing. Its powerlessness is the reason it can be |
M:16.11 | every minute and second, must God's teachers learn to recognize the | forms of magic and perceive their meaninglessness. Fear is withdrawn |
M:22.4 | but it is rarely, if ever, consistently applied to all specific | forms of sickness, both in the individual's perception of himself and |
M:22.6 | circumstances. And in it is the power to heal all individuals of all | forms of sickness. Not to believe this is to be unfair to God and |

Tx:17.74 | purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It calls | forth just the same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and left |
Tx:17.75 | asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call | forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you |

Tx:19.14 | to you who stand together before the altar from which they were sent | forth. |
Tx:19.41 | that is the first obstacle the peace in you encounters in its going | forth. This little wall of hatred would still oppose the Will of God |

Tx:25.3 | thinks it is a body is sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets | forth the remedy. His purpose folds the body in His light and fills |
Tx:25.19 | your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step | forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see the dark no |
Tx:25.19 | dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who brought him | forth for you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His |

Tx:26.9 | your special function to ensure the door be opened that he may come | forth to shine on you and give you back the gift of freedom by |
Tx:26.15 | you could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call | forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit |
Tx:26.40 | God remembers not and is not there? Now you are shifting back and | forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past seems real, as |
Tx:27.7 | other than this one. These are the witnesses that are called | forth to be believed and lend conviction to the system they speak for |
Tx:27.11 | of death. Let it have healing as its purpose. Then will it send | forth the message it received and by its health and loveliness |
Tx:27.44 | that it can begin. Accept the miracle of healing, and it will go | forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the |
Tx:27.49 | from you who let yourself be healed that it might live. It will call | forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who brought the |
Tx:27.56 | know. It tells you but the names you gave it to use when you call | forth the witnesses to its reality. You cannot choose among them |
Tx:27.59 | And they attest to different sufferings. Yet to the One Who sends | forth miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of pain, a little |
Tx:28.56 | and fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it | forth to seek for separation and to be a separate thing. And then you |
Tx:29.23 | There, in its place, God's Witness has set | forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is |
Tx:30.92 | beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot come | forth from you consistently. For you have asked it be withheld from |
Tx:31.78 | within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it | forth in everyone they look upon that he may be what they expect of |
Tx:31.97 | the only Source it has. Clear in Your Likeness does the Light shine | forth from everything that lives and moves in You. For we have |
W1:I.1 | to train the mind to think along the lines which the course sets | forth. |
W1:42.1 | two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets | forth a cause and effect relationship which explains why you cannot |

W1:75.10 | in certainty to look upon the world He promised you. From this time | forth you will see differently. Today the light has come. And you |
W1:76.9 | Perhaps you even think that there are laws which set | forth what is God's and what is yours. Many “religions” have been |
W1:94.11 | a milestone in learning the thought system which this course sets | forth. |
W1:129.5 | its place as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets | forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they will |
W1:137.12 | will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go | forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that they |
W1:155.2 | but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand | forth as what it is, is simple sanity. |
W1:155.7 | which will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth comes | forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of death and set |
W1:155.11 | will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step | forth toward this as we progress along the way that truth points out |
W1:157.5 | From this day | forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion and a glow that |
W1:161.11 | will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call | forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you |
W1:R5.1 | made us walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets | forth. But now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a |
W1:I2.1 | give your total willingness to following the way the course sets | forth. |
W2:325.1 | a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes | forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home |
M:2.2 | it is necessary to grasp the concept of time which the course sets | forth. Atonement corrects illusions, not the truth. Therefore it |
M:22.4 | as well. Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls | forth the miracle of healing. He overlooks the mind and body, seeing |
M:23.1 | appeal to magic? A name does not heal, nor does an invocation call | forth any special power. What does it mean to call on Jesus Christ? |

Tx:11.82 | that this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and | found nothing. By making nothing real to you, you have seen it. But |
Tx:11.83 | You looked upon the unreal and | found despair. Yet by seeking the unreal, what else could you find? |
Tx:11.93 | God is guiltless. He has always sought his guiltlessness, and he has | found it. For everyone is seeking to escape from the prison he has |
Tx:11.93 | and the way to find release is not denied him. Being in him, he has | found it. When he finds it is only a matter of time, and time is but |
Tx:12.21 | nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and | found nothing. For how could the gentleness of love respond to his |

Tx:14.25 | with truth. Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor | found. It is there, wherever you are, being within you. Yet it can be |
Tx:14.72 | peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be | found alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of God |
Tx:15.24 | and constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought and | found littleness, remember this: Every decision which you make stems |
Tx:17.50 | you of all the ways you once sought for satisfaction and thought you | found it. Forget not now the misery you really found, and do not now |
Tx:17.50 | and thought you found it. Forget not now the misery you really | found, and do not now breathe life into your failing egos. For your |
Tx:18.31 | journey which you undertook apart and which led nowhere. You have | found each other and will light each other's way. And from this light |
Tx:19.22 | impenetrable. The solidness this world's foundation seems to have is | found in this. For sin has changed creation from an idea of God to an |
Tx:19.25 | The attraction of guilt is | found in sin, not error. Sin will be repeated because of this |
Tx:19.53 | their notice. And they will return with all the happy things they | found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They |

Tx:20.25 | to understand what freedom is. You groped but feebly in the dust and | found each other's hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to take |
Tx:21.47 | the ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has come because it | found a home in your relationship on earth. And earth can hold no |

Tx:25.13 | your choice, while you would seek for hope where none is ever | found. |
Tx:25.14 | Is it not also true that you have | found some hope apart from this—some glimmering, inconstant, |
Tx:25.35 | in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you will the rest you | found extend, so that your peace can never fall away and leave you |
Tx:25.35 | away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to everyone have | found a home in Heaven the world cannot destroy. For it is large |
Tx:25.40 | he has in truth, you are depriving him of all the joy he would have | found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But think not Heaven |
Tx:25.64 | would find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be | found in such a state of mind. But be you thankful that only little |
Tx:25.75 | the Holy Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has | found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need |
Tx:27.24 | Holy Spirit's mind and yours are one. And so your own Identity is | found. Yet must He work with what is given Him, and you allow Him |
Tx:27.38 | will be no solution, for there is no answer there that could be | found. Nowhere outside a single simple question is ever asked. The |
Tx:27.56 | a witness true because you called him by truth's name. The truth is | found in him if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he lies, if |
Tx:28.17 | barrier or limitation. Thus is purity not of the body. Nor can it be | found where limitation is. The body can be healed by its effects, |
Tx:28.20 | the world. No plans are possible and no design exists that could be | found and understood. |
Tx:29.9 | a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by being | found? |
Tx:29.16 | possible. To change is to attain a state unlike the one in which you | found yourself before. There is no change in immortality, and Heaven |
Tx:29.32 | in him, for your Identity is there. The peace in you can but be | found in him. And every thought of love you offer him but brings you |
Tx:29.37 | of change and betterment, for here is not where changelessness is | found. Let us be glad indeed that this is so and seek not the eternal |
Tx:29.43 | fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be | found where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. |
Tx:29.43 | from a futile search for what you want, insisting where it must be | found. What if it is not there? Do you prefer that you be right or |
Tx:29.44 | more than everything, as if a part of it were separated off and | found where all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows |
Tx:29.47 | No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an idol | found that represents a parody of life which in its lifelessness is |

Tx:31.39 | Think not that happiness is ever | found by following a road away from it. This makes no sense and |
Tx:31.39 | road that leads the other way will not advance the purpose to be | found. If this be difficult to understand, then is this course |

Tx:8.62 | whole, and the belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a | fragmented (or sick) interpretation. Mind cannot be made physical, |

Tx:5.49 | to give you the foundation, so your own thoughts can make you really | free. You have carried the burden of the ideas you did not share and |
Tx:5.71 | changed your belief in your status. Yet your election is both | free and alterable. You do not belong in time. Your place is only in |
Tx:5.72 | and pain for peace. My role is only to unchain your will and make it | free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom and will oppose your free |

Tx:7.84 | 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 the laws of |

Tx:8.10 | to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because your will is | free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is never God |
Tx:8.10 | because your will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of | free will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His Will |
Tx:8.11 | of your own freedom and makes you afraid of your will because it is | free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of |
Tx:8.31 | our joint will, but my will alone cannot help you. Your will is as | free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will |
Tx:8.33 | This means that you have imprisoned yours and have not let it be | free. Of yourselves you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are |
Tx:8.33 | which is His Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you will be | free. |
Tx:8.52 | You who are beloved of God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and | free the holy will of all those who are as blessed as you are. |
Tx:8.68 | not allow yourselves to suffer from the results of what is not true. | Free your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its |

Tx:9.89 | You are not | free to give up freedom, but only to deny it. You cannot do what God |

Tx:12.7 | of it. You have been told again and again that it will make you | free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you. Most of the |
Tx:12.39 | it is unworthy of Him. Yet He would release you from it and set you | free. His sane answer tells you that what you have offered yourself |
Tx:12.48 | and not allowing the miracle, which could intervene between them, to | free you to be born again. |
Tx:12.49 | you, and unless you bring them with you, you will see that you are | free of them. |
Tx:12.51 | you your brothers in the light that would unite you with them and | free you from the past. Would you, then, hold the past against them? |
Tx:12.56 | Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your | free will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The |
Tx:13.8 | as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having learned to | free yourself of Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under the |
Tx:13.11 | the future and the past, the laws of God must intervene if you would | free yourselves. Atonement stands between them like a lamp that |
Tx:13.16 | of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy Spirit make you | free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For |
Tx:13.24 | one each day be born again. A minute, even less, will be enough to | free you from the past and give your mind in peace over to the |
Tx:13.62 | knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to | free you from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For |
Tx:13.63 | Behold your brothers in their freedom and learn of them how to be | free of darkness. The light in you will waken them, and they will not |
Tx:13.64 | The guiltless learner learns so easily because his thoughts are | free. Yet this entails the recognition that guilt is interference, |
Tx:13.68 | and cannot both be true. You are guilty or guiltless, bound or | free, happy or unhappy. |
Tx:13.69 | right, attesting to your happiness that comes from choosing to be | free of guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you |
Tx:13.70 | it, he binds himself to darkness because he did not choose to | free his brother and enter light with him. By giving power to |
Tx:13.77 | friend. He is the strong protector of your innocence, which sets you | free. And it is His decision to undo everything that would obscure |
Tx:14.9 | suffering of every kind lie in it. Who is there but wishes to be | free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange his guilt |
Tx:14.63 | by which to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are wholly | free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of |
Tx:14.70 | He Who has freed you from the past would teach you are | free of it. He would but have you accept His accomplishments as yours |
Tx:14.70 | them for you. And because he did, they are yours. He has made you | free of what you made. You can deny Him, but you cannot call on Him |
Tx:15.9 | And the present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and | free of guilt that nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is |
Tx:15.10 | past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely | free, and wholly without condemnation. From this holy instant wherein |
Tx:15.23 | there is no form of littleness that can ever content you. You are | free to try as many as you wish, but all you will be doing is to |
Tx:15.53 | Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant, | free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need |
Tx:15.61 | that he be bound or limited in any way. In this instant, he is as | free as God would have him be. For the instant he refuses to be |

Tx:16.22 | You have taught freedom, but you have not learned how to be | free. We once said, “By their fruits ye shall know them, and they |

Tx:17.56 | of the holy instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and | free you from their results. And learning this, you will have also |
Tx:17.72 | you enter or will ever enter. And every situation was thus made | free of the past, which would have made it purposeless. |
Tx:17.76 | aside unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is | free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all situations |
Tx:19.2 | from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see him | free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He |
Tx:19.12 | through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven, | free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him only now |
Tx:19.16 | all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is | free, incapable of being kept in prison or limited in any way except |
Tx:19.70 | Here is your choice, and it is | free. But all that lies in it will come with it, and what you think |
Tx:19.74 | of peace, it urges you to send out all your messages of hate and | free yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the body |
Tx:19.85 | condemnation to which the body leads you. Ask not release of it. But | free it from the merciless and unrelenting orders you laid upon it |
Tx:19.104 | you to give each other, and thus receive it. Whom you forgive is | free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your brother |
Tx:19.106 | of freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you | free together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And |
Tx:19.107 | Free your brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, | |
Tx:20.7 | and you are crucified. Offer him lilies and it is yourself you | free. |
Tx:20.14 | is risen from the past and has awakened to the present. Now is he | free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within him. Now are |
Tx:20.14 | gift has saved him from the thorns and nails, and his strong arm is | free to guide you safely through them and beyond. Walk with him now |
Tx:20.15 | and your friend, released from crucifixion through your vision and | free to lead you now where he would be. He will not leave you nor |
Tx:20.25 | not the light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made | free. It takes a while for them to understand what freedom is. You |
Tx:20.26 | become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made | free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friends, my |
Tx:20.28 | and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you | free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit |
Tx:20.30 | this that you would see within your savior from insanity? He is as | free from this as you are, and in the freedom that you see in him, |
Tx:20.32 | given, whose special function here is to release him and so to | free himself. In the world of separation, each is appointed |
Tx:20.66 | upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he sees is | free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for it was |
Tx:20.68 | exchange your doubts for certainty? Would you not willingly be | free of misery and learn again of joy? Your holy relationship offers |
Tx:21.2 | If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him | free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And |
Tx:21.23 | Be willing for an instant to leave your altars | free of what you placed upon them, and what is really there you |
Tx:21.35 | has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your brother | free, removing hatred by removing fear, not as a symptom, but at its |
Tx:21.36 | Those who would | free their brothers from the body can have no fear. They have |
Tx:21.45 | time began. And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be | free again, as once it was. It has been waiting for the birth of |
Tx:21.53 | for you and has your freedom as the purpose given it, you must be | free to find it. |
Tx:21.69 | attests to it. Where could his freedom lie but in himself if he be | free already? And who could bind him but himself if he deny his |
Tx:21.69 | at his own mercy. And where he chooses to be merciful, there is he | free. But where he chooses to condemn instead, there is he held a |
Tx:21.69 | held a prisoner, waiting in chains his pardon on himself to set him | free. |
Tx:22.53 | the role of means and end so easily in what God loves and would have | free forever. But be you rather grateful that you can be the means to |
Tx:23.32 | Here do the laws of sin appear to hold love captive and let sin go | free. |
Tx:24.33 | The slaves of specialness will yet be | free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn |
Tx:25.41 | be when you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he is | free to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has |
Tx:25.42 | from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made | free to let His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of |
Tx:25.56 | and place in which you think you find yourself and where you can be | free of place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The |
Tx:25.56 | choice be made by the insane, whose problem is their choices are not | free and made with reason in the light of sense. |
Tx:25.70 | are wholly innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them | free and give them all the honor they deserve and have denied |
Tx:26.40 | The Son that God created is as | free as God created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to |
Tx:26.65 | use of what He gave to answer all His Son's mistakes and set him | free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave and |
Tx:27.2 | you suffer now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set | free. Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you |
Tx:27.10 | witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made | free again to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but |
Tx:27.11 | empty space, from which the goal of sin has been removed, is Heaven | free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and perfect healing |
Tx:27.21 | of guilt he suffers serves to prove that he is slave but they are | free. The constant pain they suffer demonstrates that they are free |
Tx:27.21 | are free. The constant pain they suffer demonstrates that they are | free because they hold him bound. And sickness is desired to prevent |
Tx:27.27 | of you. It cannot leave mistakes in one unhealed and set the other | free. That is divided purpose which cannot be shared, and so it |
Tx:27.33 | and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as wholly | free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to impose. |
Tx:27.34 | remains unknown but is not canceled out. And thus is God left | free to take the final step Himself. [For this you need no pictures |
Tx:27.41 | asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict state is | free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest answer |
Tx:27.70 | two states, but one of which is clearly recognized? Who could be | free to choose between effects when only one is seen as up to him? |
Tx:27.86 | recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned will set you | free from suffering, whatever form it takes. |
Tx:27.89 | is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, you will be | free of it. Its innocence does not demand your guilt, nor does your |
Tx:28.27 | “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is | free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will |
Tx:28.37 | be turned instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are | free of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, |
Tx:28.42 | because you let them be. But if you took your own away would he be | free of them and of his own as well. Your dreams are witnesses to |
Tx:28.48 | made. And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you both are | free. Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil dream and thus |
Tx:29.10 | you not perceive it as release from suffering to learn that you are | free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead of looking on it |
Tx:29.12 | must come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You are | free of pain and sickness, misery and loss, and all effects of hatred |
Tx:29.21 | to his reality. He must be savior from the dream he made, that he be | free of it. He must see someone else as not a body, one with him, |
Tx:29.42 | lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How | free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what |
Tx:30.30 | cannot be coercion here nor grounds for opposition that you may be | free. There is no freedom from what must occur. And if you think |
Tx:30.34 | be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your will, you are not | free. And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for |
Tx:30.34 | to what he does not want. He joins with you in willing you be | free. And to oppose Him is to make a choice against yourself and |
Tx:30.36 | have you for anger in a world which merely waits your blessing to be | free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be free. For |
Tx:30.36 | to be free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be | free. For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God |
Tx:30.37 | the freedom you will give when you have recognized that you are | free. But you will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him |
Tx:30.37 | For it is by your will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be | free apart from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to |
Tx:30.54 | believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is | free of idols. And thus is he free. |
Tx:30.54 | the Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And thus is he | free. |
Tx:30.55 | for the things you do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be | free of all the dreams of what you never were and seek no more to |
Tx:30.65 | let not your experiences here deceive in retrospect. They were not | free from bitter cost and joyless consequence. |
Tx:30.69 | their enemy. But when they joined and shared a purpose, they were | free to learn their will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach |
Tx:30.94 | you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from which he is not | free if you would have him be but what he is. Why should you fear to |
Tx:30.94 | but behold your Self in what you see. As he is healed are you made | free of guilt, for his appearance is your own to you. |
Tx:31.12 | crossed your mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you are | free to learn of him and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to |
Tx:31.12 | the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he | free to live, as you are free because an ancient learning passed away |
Tx:31.12 | him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to live, as you are | free because an ancient learning passed away and left a place for |
Tx:31.15 | choose between is not a choice and gives but the illusion it is | free, for it will have one outcome either way. Thus is it really not |
Tx:31.30 | For here are you made sin, and sin cannot abide the joyous and the | free, for they are enemies which sin must kill. In death is sin |
Tx:31.59 | no assumptions which would stand the light, then is the truth left | free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no |
Tx:31.59 | then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and | free of guilt. There is no statement that the world is more afraid to |
Tx:31.80 | The savior's vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is | free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at |
Tx:31.94 | hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone made | free. |
W1:29.5 | Your list of subjects should therefore be as | free of self-selection as possible. For example, a suitable list |
W1:39.11 | Meanwhile, you should feel | free to introduce variety into your practice periods in whatever form |
W1:57.3 | in which I see myself. All I need do is recognize this, and I am | free. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison |
W1:57.3 | this belief, which I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever | free. He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. He |
W1:57.4 | must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set | free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place |
W1:70.14 | and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress. You are | free from all external interference. You are in charge of your |
W1:71.9 | full release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to | free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan |
W1:73.9 | it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your will is | free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the |
W1:76.7 | which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which keeps us | free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The |
W1:76.7 | keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set | free. The light has come because there are no laws but His. |
W1:78.10 | be denied. Your savior has been waiting long for this. He would be | free and make his freedom yours. The Holy Spirit leans from him to |
W1:78.10 | seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him will | free you both. |
W1:79.3 | to be no end to them. There is no time in which you feel completely | free of problems and at peace. |
W1:79.7 | to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will try to | free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we |
W1:80.5 | problems have been solved. Recognize that you are out of conflict, | free, and at peace. Above all, remember that you have one problem and |
W1:80.8 | not to collect grievances today. Let us be determined to be | free of problems that do not exist. The means is simple honesty. Do |
W1:88.5 | in them. They have no real effect on me at all. I am perfectly | free of the effects of all laws save God's. And His are the laws of |
W1:96.7 | the release of His dear Son bring pain to him and fail to set him | free? |
W1:96.10 | you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to it and | free to serve its will. |
W1:97.9 | Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, | free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and |
W1:97.9 | I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, | free to forgive, and free to save the world. |
W1:97.9 | free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and | free to save the world. |
W1:101.7 | the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you | free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish |
W1:102.2 | in existence like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be you | free today to join the happy Will of God. |
W1:105.9 | yourself to recognize God's gifts to you and let your mind be | free of all that would prevent success today. Now are you ready to |
W1:106.10 | by you. It will begin the ministry for which you came and which will | free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the |
W1:107.15 | the world and Him Who would release the world as He would set you | free. |
W1:110.2 | any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future | free. It is enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is |
W1:110.3 | but just this one to let redemption come to light the world and | free it from the past. |
W1:110.5 | today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you | free. This is the truth that God has promised you. This is the Word |
W1:110.13 | this truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you | free. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and which |
W1:125.2 | means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is | free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever |
W1:125.2 | to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own will, forever | free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love. He is not |
W1:125.9 | your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world and | free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You |
W1:127.6 | Today we practice making | free our minds of all the laws you think you must obey, of all the |
W1:127.10 | thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made | free along with us. Now are they all our brothers in God's Love. |
W1:128.5 | go all thought of values we have given to the world. We leave it | free of purposes we gave its aspects and its phases and its dreams. |
W1:128.6 | the level where it finds itself at home. It will be grateful to be | free a while. It knows where it belongs. But free its wings, and it |
W1:128.6 | will be grateful to be free a while. It knows where it belongs. But | free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its |
W1:131.4 | search unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are | free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly |
W1:132.2 | Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is | free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. Now the |
W1:132.3 | You | free the past from what you thought before. You free the future from |
W1:132.3 | You free the past from what you thought before. You | free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not |
W1:132.3 | now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set | free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the future from |
W1:132.11 | of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To | free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind |
W1:132.12 | were created, so it is your thoughts which made it and must set it | free that you may know the thoughts you share with God. |
W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to | free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and |
W1:132.15 | the world this day from every one of our illusions that we may be | free. |
W1:134.9 | Now are you | free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For |
W1:134.10 | in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your mind as | free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is |
W1:135.14 | mind sets up to save itself must make the body sick. It is not | free to be a means of helping in a plan which far exceeds its own |
W1:136.15 | a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and set us | free. |
W1:137.8 | is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off within a body | free to join with other minds, to be forever strong. |
W1:154.14 | I am grateful that I have the means by which to recognize that I am | free. |
W1:161.10 | destroy itself? Or would you have it be revealed to you and set you | free? |
W1:161.13 | Ask this of him that he may set you | free: |
W1:166.6 | needs but realize Who walks with him and open up his treasures to be | free? |
W1:166.7 | catch a glimpse of truth and be released from self-deception and set | free. |
W1:170.14 | them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us | free. And we give thanks. Amen. |
W1:R5.12 | seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world that it is | free of all illusions every time we say, |
W1:177.2 | [163] There is no death. The Son of God is | free. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:186.5 | to experience which might affront their stance. Yet are the humble | free to hear the Voice which tells them what they are and what to do. |
W1:190.8 | in your holy mind. Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be | free. In pain is God denied the Son He loves. In pain does fear |
W1:190.11 | Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are | free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, |
W1:191.4 | one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is everything set | free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is |
W1:191.5 | And from this place of safety and escape, you will return and set it | free. For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his |
W1:191.6 | One holy thought like this, and you are | free: you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy |
W1:191.6 | use it cruelly and then perceive this savage need in it. You set it | free of your imprisonment. You will not see a devastating image of |
W1:191.10 | as dark and sinful when God's Son has come again at last to set it | free? |
W1:191.13 | They must await your own release. They stay in chains till you are | free. They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find it for |
W1:191.13 | are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the world is | free. Remember this and earth and Heaven are one. |
W1:192.8 | forgiven everyone he sees or thinks of or imagines? Who could be set | free while he imprisons anyone? A jailer is not free, for he is bound |
W1:192.8 | Who could be set free while he imprisons anyone? A jailer is not | free, for he is bound together with his prisoner. He must be sure |
W1:192.9 | hold no one prisoner. Release instead of bind, for thus are you made | free. The way is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize |
W1:192.9 | And it will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or | free. Thus does each one who seems to tempt you to be angry represent |
W1:193.13 | has willed that laughter should replace each one and that His Son be | free again. |
W1:193.16 | to the happenings the hour brought, so that the next one is | free of the one before. The chains of time are easily unloosened in |
W1:194.5 | was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the world. Now is he | free, and all his glory shines upon a world made free with him to |
W1:194.5 | world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made | free with him to share his holiness. |
W1:194.7 | his perception may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is | free to choose again when he has been deceived, to change his mind |
W1:195.7 | find, the way is opening at last to us. An ancient door is swinging | free again; a long forgotten Word re-echoes in our memory and gathers |
W1:196.1 | that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You will be | free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. |
W1:196.6 | if you accept the fearful thought you can attack another and be | free yourself. Until this form is changed, there is no hope. Until |
W1:196.9 | salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you want. And you are | free and glad of freedom. You have sought to be both weak and bound |
W1:197.1 | Here is the second step we take to | free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your |
W1:197.9 | Give thanks as you receive it. Be you | free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self complete. And |
W1:198.1 | have effects, and all it seemed to have will be undone. Then are you | free, for freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the gift you |
W1:198.10 | Only my condemnation injures me. Only my own forgiveness sets me | free. |
W1:199.1 | a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The mind can be made | free when it no longer sees itself as in a body, firmly tied to it |
W1:199.4 | it can be seen as what it is. Declare your innocence, and you are | free. The body disappears because you have no need of it except the |
W1:199.7 | Be | free today, and carry freedom as your gift to those who still believe |
W1:199.7 | to those who still believe they are enslaved within a body. Be you | free, so that the Holy Spirit can make use of your escape from |
W1:199.7 | that the Holy Spirit can make use of your escape from bondage to set | free the many who perceive themselves as bound and helpless and |
W1:199.9 | I am not a body. I am | free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my |
W1:200.5 | 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 him not; no more |
W1:200.5 | and honored as he is. You made him not; no more yourself. And as you | free the one, the other is accepted as he is. |
W1:R6.4 | I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:200.1 | whole that is my Self, forever one with me. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:202.1 | has given me His Voice to call me home? I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:203.1 | of sin, because it is my own as well as His. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:204.1 | to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, | free in God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am |
W1:204.1 | free in God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:205.1 | my life while I abide where I am not at home. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:206.1 | give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:207.1 | away as I accept His boundless Love for me. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:208.1 | my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:209.1 | of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of God within me sets me | free. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:209.1 | Son. The Love of God within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:210.1 | Son. And that I choose instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:211.1 | it in the Son whom He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:212.1 | God would have me fill. I seek the function that would set me | free from all the vain illusions of the world. Only the function God |
W1:212.1 | I seek, and only this will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:213.1 | I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I am set | free. And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my own. I am |
W1:213.1 | choose to learn His lessons and forget my own. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:214.1 | but what He gives as what belongs to me. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:215.1 | thanks to Him for showing me the way to go. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:216.1 | But if I forgive, salvation will be given me. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:217.1 | can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:218.1 | Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:219.1 | [199] I am not a body. I am | free. I am God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon |
W1:219.1 | as to what my Father loves forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W1:220.1 | home, and peace is certain as the Love of God. I am not a body. I am | free. For I am still as God created me. |
W2:WF.1 | merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is | free to take its place is now the Will of God. |

W2:227.1 | will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am | free because I was mistaken and did not affect my own reality at all |
W2:236.1 | I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it | free to do the Will of God. |
W2:240.2 | Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him | free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his |
W2:241.1 | pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set | free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be |
W2:243.1 | so. And so I am relieved of judgment which I cannot make. Thus do I | free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God created us. |
W2:243.2 | Father, today I leave creation | free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am included. We |

W2:278.1 | my Father or my Self. And I am lost to all reality. For truth is | free, and what is bound is not a part of truth. |
W2:280.1 | Whom God created limitless is | free. I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in illusions, not |

W2:310.2 | thankfulness and joy to Him Who gave salvation to us, and Who set us | free. We are restored to peace and holiness. There is no room in us |

W2:314.2 | we were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to be | free. Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our |
W2:321.1 | I did not understand what made me | free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to find it. Father, I |
W2:330.2 | Identity we share with You. We would return to It today, to be made | free forever from all our mistakes and to be saved from what we |
W2:332.2 | it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it | free. Father, we would release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is |
W2:340.1 | directing him to find Christ's vision through forgiveness and be | free forever from all suffering. Thanks for today, my Father. I was |
W2:343.2 | The mercy and the peace of God are | free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given |
W2:350.1 | my Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory will set me | free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory return to |

W2:FL.1 | Our final lessons will be left as | free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our |
M:2.3 | thought, a fresh idea, a different approach. Because your will is | free, you can accept what has already happened at any time you |

M:2.3 | the curriculum or even the form in which you will learn it. You are | free, however, to decide when you want to learn it. And as you accept |

M:10.5 | down, not with regret but with a sigh of gratitude. Now are you | free of a burden so great that you could merely stagger and fall down |
M:13.4 | looks back on it with condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is | free of all the sacrifice which its value would demand of him. To |
M:13.6 | things that crucify God's Son. And it is the course's aim to set him | free. But do not be mistaken about what sacrifice means. It always |
M:15.1 | his sinlessness proclaimed around and around the world, setting it | free as God's Final Judgment on him is received. This is the judgment |
M:15.1 | in which salvation lies. This is the judgment that will set him | free. This is the judgment in which all things are freed with him. |
M:15.2 | Holy are you, eternal, | free, and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the |
M:15.4 | minds an instant longer. God's judgment waits for you to set you | free. What can the world hold out to you, regardless of your |
M:18.2 | ears and bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see. Now is He | free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they will |
M:28.4 | things is now at hand. There is no death. The Son of God is | free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places now |
M:28.5 | beyond all purposes. Holy are we because His holiness has set us | free indeed, and we accept His holiness as ours, as it is. As God |

Tx:16.60 | For the love of God, no longer seek for union in separation nor for | freedom in bondage! As you release, so will you be released. Forget |

Tx:17.25 | the real world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, | freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you can never choose |
Tx:17.52 | Throughout the Sonship is the song of | freedom heard in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined with |
Tx:18.20 | not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and | freedom. It will not be for you alone, for therein lay its misery. As |
Tx:18.58 | beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far exceeds the dream of | freedom sometimes experienced in special relationships. It is a sense |
Tx:18.62 | laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and | freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in |
Tx:19.10 | and would therefore share it. By faith you offer the gift of | freedom from the past, which you received. You do not use anything |

Tx:19.76 | disciples to realize that they have dedicated themselves to death. | Freedom is offered them, but they have not accepted it, and what is |

Tx:20.15 | the home that called to you. Give joyously to one another the | freedom and the strength to lead you there. And come before each |
Tx:20.15 | And come before each other's holy altar where the strength and | freedom wait, to offer and receive the bright awareness that leads |
Tx:20.25 | they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand what | freedom is. You groped but feebly in the dust and found each other's |
Tx:20.25 | your eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your | freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his |
Tx:20.30 | savior from insanity? He is as free from this as you are, and in the | freedom that you see in him, you see your own. For this you share. |
Tx:20.31 | Those who choose | freedom will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and |
Tx:20.31 | sharing their power according to the Will of God. And thus their | freedom is established and maintained. It is upheld through all |
Tx:20.31 | to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is of them who learned of | freedom that you should ask what freedom is. Ask not the sparrow how |

Tx:21.45 | be free again, as once it was. It has been waiting for the birth of | freedom, the acceptance of release to come to you. And now you |
Tx:21.47 | into your minds. The ego's weakness is its strength. The song of | freedom, which sings the praises of another world, brings to it hope |
Tx:21.51 | There is another vision and another Voice in which your | freedom lies awaiting but your choice. And if you place your faith in |
Tx:21.53 | it must be so, it must exist. And if it exists for you and has your | freedom as the purpose given it, you must be free to find it. |
Tx:21.69 | not a threat to his reality. It but attests to it. Where could his | freedom lie but in himself if he be free already? And who could bind |
Tx:21.69 | be free already? And who could bind him but himself if he deny his | freedom? God is not mocked; no more His Son can be imprisoned save by |

Tx:22.52 | Where | freedom of the body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose |
Tx:22.52 | value lies in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the body's | freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is |
Tx:22.52 | in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom. Yet | freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to |

Tx:24.32 | are all asleep, surrounded by a world of loveliness they do not see. | Freedom and peace and joy stand there beside the bier on which they |
Tx:24.53 | whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this world. See in his | freedom yours, for such it is. Let not his specialness obscure the |
Tx:25.41 | It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his | freedom will you gain your own. To let his function be fulfilled is |
Tx:25.41 | gave to him for you! He has no need but this—that you allow him | freedom to complete the task God gave to him. Remembering but this— |
Tx:26.9 | that he may come forth to shine on you and give you back the gift of | freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy Spirit's special |
Tx:26.76 | has no meaning and is not your just reward. For you have cause for | freedom now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should |
Tx:26.76 | your just reward. For you have cause for freedom now. What profits | freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should deliverance be disguised as |
Tx:26.77 | how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own salvation with his | freedom joined! However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. |
Tx:26.80 | when They have come. What hatred claimed is given up to love, and | freedom lights up every living thing and lifts it into Heaven, where |
Tx:29.23 | is given power to forgive you your illusions. By your gift of | freedom is it given unto you. Make way for love, which you did not |
Tx:30.30 | here nor grounds for opposition that you may be free. There is no | freedom from what must occur. And if you think there is, you must be |
Tx:30.34 | How wonderful it is to do your will! For that is | freedom. There is nothing else that ever should be called by |
Tx:30.37 | This world awaits the | freedom you will give when you have recognized that you are free. But |
Tx:30.37 | Who gave your will to you. For it is by your will the world is given | freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy will you |

Tx:30.58 | as things not wanted and not striven for. The possibility of | freedom has been grasped and welcomed, and the means by which it can |
Tx:30.90 | takes the form of the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect | freedom from all forms of lack, and safety from disaster of all |
Tx:30.92 | you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles has not been given | freedom to bestow His gifts upon God's Son. When he is tempted, he |

W1:57.4 | world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his | freedom. |
W1:57.5 | could see peace instead of this. When I see the world as a place of | freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of |

W1:76.3 | Think of the | freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all the strange |
W1:76.14 | as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is our statement of | freedom from all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment |
W1:78.10 | savior has been waiting long for this. He would be free and make his | freedom yours. The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no |
W1:80.1 | been solved. One problem—one solution. Salvation is accomplished. | Freedom from conflict has been given you. Accept that fact, and you |
W1:88.5 | I am under no laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my | freedom. I am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to |
W1:88.5 | free of the effects of all laws save God's. And His are the laws of | freedom. |
W1:99.9 | the strength in what you say, for these are words in which your | freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His |
W1:125.8 | as He speaks to you. It is your Word He speaks. It is the Word of | freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no |
W1:128.5 | we wish it were. Thus do we lift the chains which bar the door to | freedom from the world and go beyond all little values and diminished |
W1:128.6 | Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to | freedom, and to love. |
W1:130.9 | God offers me and see no value in this world that I may find my | freedom and deliverance. |
W1:130.13 | It is impossible to see two worlds. I seek my | freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I want. |
W1:132.1 | It is but when their source is raised to question that the hope of | freedom comes to him at last. |
W1:132.20 | Throughout the day, increase the | freedom sent through your ideas to all the world, and say whenever |
W1:134.14 | of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with our reality in | freedom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening |
W1:134.18 | all the thoughts you had of sin in him. And now you are prepared for | freedom. If you have been practicing thus far in willingness and |
W1:137.8 | Healing is | freedom. For it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the |
W1:R4.7 | to learn what each idea you will review that day can offer you in | freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear it of all thoughts |
W1:161.5 | It seems to be the body that we feel limits our | freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out our life. Yet bodies |

W1:170.1 | of cruelty. You mean that you believe to hurt another brings you | freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the state in |

W1:196.4 | one step we take in leading us from bondage to the state of perfect | freedom. Let us take this step today that we may quickly go the way |
W1:196.9 | strong, and it is strength you want. And you are free and glad of | freedom. You have sought to be both weak and bound because you feared |
W1:196.9 | to be both weak and bound because you feared your strength and | freedom. Yet salvation lies in them. |
W1:197.2 | your strength until guilt and salvation are not seen as one, and | freedom and salvation are perceived as joined, with strength beside |
W1:198.1 | and all it seemed to have will be undone. Then are you free, for | freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the gift you gave. |
W1:198.2 | rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge understands, for | freedom is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in |
W1:198.9 | Today we practice letting | freedom come to make its home with you. The truth bestows these words |
W1:199.1 | Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as | |
W1:199.1 | perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for | freedom in a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The mind can |
W1:199.5 | will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of | freedom round the world with this idea. And would you be exempt from |
W1:199.6 | The Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for | freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's purpose |

W1:199.6 | well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the | freedom which the mind within the Holy Spirit seeks. |
W1:199.7 | Be free today, and carry | freedom as your gift to those who still believe they are enslaved |
W1:199.7 | calls to you to make this gift to Him. For He would give you perfect | freedom, perfect joy, and hope that finds its full accomplishment in |
W1:200.5 | Freedom is given you where you beheld but chains and iron doors. For | |
W1:200.8 | Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where | freedom lies within the peace of God. |
W1:R6.6 | then forget all that we thought we knew and understood. For thus is | freedom given us from all we did not know and failed to understand. |
W1:R6.8 | When you are tempted, hasten to proclaim your | freedom from temptation, as you say: |
W1:R6.11 | for the way each practice period can best become a loving gift of | freedom to the world. |

W2:279.1 | chains which have been severed for release, when God is offering me | freedom now? |
W2:280.1 | of God, whose Father willed that he be limitless and like Himself in | freedom and in love? |
W2:321.1 | I did not understand what made me free nor what my | freedom is nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in |
W2:321.1 | no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my | freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as |
W2:321.1 | to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my | freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs |
W2:321.1 | And the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my | freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return. |
W2:321.2 | which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our | freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how |

Freud (14) | ||
Tx:3.39 | Freud realized this perfectly and that is why he conceived the | |
Tx:4.30 | rise to it. This is the meaning of Freud's “reality principle” since | Freud thought of the ego as very weak and deprived, capable of |

Tx:5.62 | of the guilt is so acute that it must be projected. Although | Freud was wrong about the basic conflict itself, he was very accurate |
Tx:5.83 | of God. The concept of “fixation” is also a very helpful one which | Freud understood perfectly. Unfortunately, he lost his understanding |
Tx:5.84 | Freud's system of thought was extremely ingenious because | Freud was extremely ingenious, and a mind must endow its thoughts |
Tx:5.84 | This is its inherent strength, although it may misuse its power. | Freud lost much of the potential value of his thought system, because |

Tx:4.30 | the scarcity principle which gave rise to it. This is the meaning of | Freud's “reality principle” since Freud thought of the ego as very |
Tx:5.84 | Freud's system of thought was extremely ingenious because Freud was | |
Tx:5.84 | state, because the thinker cuts himself off from his thoughts. | Freud's thought was so conflicted that he could not have retained his |
Tx:5.88 | by any living human being. Essentially, this was the basis of | Freud's pessimism, personally as well as theoretically. He tried |

Tx:6.48 | 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 side |

Tx:2.88 | few people appreciate the real power of the mind, and no one remains | fully aware of it all the time. However, if anyone hopes to spare |
Tx:2.88 | himself from fear, there are some things he must realize and realize | fully. The mind is a very powerful creator, and it never loses its |

Tx:6.47 | ego is afraid of you. You cannot understand the conflict until you | fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The Holy |
Tx:6.91 | does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you believe | fully. |
Tx:7.1 | but they are not in reciprocal relationship. You do communicate | fully with God, as He does with you. This is an ongoing process in |
Tx:7.8 | never obscured, because it is His Will to share it. How can what is | fully shared be withheld and then revealed? |
Tx:7.64 | is up to you to decide. The ego believes this totally, being | fully committed to it. It is not true. The ego therefore is totally |
Tx:7.83 | lives, and every mind is life. The ego's use of projection must be | fully understood before its inevitable association between projection |
Tx:7.85 | conflict cannot be projected, precisely because it cannot be | fully shared. Any attempt to keep part of it and get rid of another |
Tx:8.7 | The total senselessness of such a curriculum must be | fully recognized before a real change in direction becomes possible. |
Tx:8.17 | the Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be | fully known, because it is the only function that can be fully |

function (435) | ||
Tx:1.45 | the mind in the service of the spirit. This establishes the proper | function of the mind and corrects its errors. |
Tx:2.60 | Before miracle workers are ready to undertake their | function in this world, it is essential that they fully understand |
Tx:3.44 | out of ambiguity is clear perception. The mind returns to its proper | function only when it wills to know. This places it in the Soul's |
Tx:3.46 | or translation, which knowledge does not need. The interpretive | function of perception, actually a distorted form of creation, then |
Tx:3.56 | is a miracle. Miraculous creation was his Source and also his real | function. |
Tx:4.16 | yourselves. You are not at peace because you are not fulfilling your | function. God gave you a very lofty responsibility which you are not |
Tx:4.28 | Belief is an ego | function, and as long as your origin is open to belief at all, you |
Tx:4.74 | because the eternal must come from God. Eternalness is the one | function which the ego has tried to develop but has systematically |
Tx:4.91 | you will be ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the | function of love is one. |
Tx:4.97 | God created you by this and for this. The mind can distort its | function, but it cannot endow itself with functions it was not given. |
Tx:5.38 | the laws of God, for which He speaks. He can thus perform the | function of reinterpreting what the ego makes, not by destruction but |
Tx:5.67 | thoughts, although you can believe in them. But you are wrong. The | function of thought comes from God and is in God. As part of His |
Tx:5.82 | of this in every passing moment of time, because it is His special | function to return you to eternity and remain to bless your creations |
Tx:7.30 | meaninglessly. That is why the Holy Spirit never questions. His sole | function is to undo the questionable and thus lead to certainty. The |
Tx:7.68 | you gently that you are sad because you are not fulfilling your | function as co-creators with God and are therefore depriving |
Tx:7.93 | to extend His Being. The extension of God's Being is the Soul's only | function. Its fullness cannot be contained any more than can the |
Tx:7.93 | whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only | function. It therefore blocks your joy, and that is why you perceive |
Tx:7.94 | there is perfect peace in the Kingdom. Every Soul is fulfilling its | function, and only complete fulfillment is peace. |
Tx:7.100 | Yet the | function which God Himself gave your minds through His you may deny, |
Tx:7.101 | and are in fact very apt to confuse the two. The Holy Spirit's main | function is to teach you to tell them apart. However strange it may |
Tx:7.108 | a state of grace, he is out of his natural environment and does not | function well. Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was |
Tx:8.16 | He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to teach. Knowing His | function perfectly, He wills to fulfill it perfectly, because that is |
Tx:8.17 | only joy and peace that can be fully known, because it is the only | function that can be fully experienced. When this is accomplished, |
Tx:8.18 | must be extended outward. You who belong in God have the holy | function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. |
Tx:8.24 | Himself, and everything belongs to Him. Giving of your self is the | function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly will teach you what you |
Tx:8.35 | It is everything. Unless you take your place in It and fulfill your | function as part of It, It is as bereft as you are. No part of It can |
Tx:8.46 | what else but joy would you want? You made neither yourself nor your | function. You made only the decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you |
Tx:8.47 | Your | function is to add to God's treasure by creating yours. His Will to |
Tx:8.47 | because you do not understand Him. No one who does not know his | function can understand it, and no one can know his function unless |
Tx:8.47 | not know his function can understand it, and no one can know his | function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His |
Tx:8.48 | mind of God's Son if they so choose. This choice does make the Son's | function unknown to him, but never to his Creator. And because it is |
Tx:8.49 | I asked it of Him and learned of what He had already given. Our | function is to function together, because apart from each other we |
Tx:8.49 | of Him and learned of what He had already given. Our function is to | function together, because apart from each other we cannot function |
Tx:8.49 | is to function together, because apart from each other we cannot | function at all. The whole power of God's Son lies in all of us, but |
Tx:8.55 | anything can have is the service it can render God on behalf of the | function He has given it. |
Tx:8.65 | is the cause of all illness, because only extension is the mind's | function. The opposite of joy is depression. When your learning |
Tx:8.69 | incapable of true generalizations and equates what it sees with the | function it ascribes to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To |
Tx:8.69 | The body's condition lies solely in your interpretation of its | function. |
Tx:8.70 | The reason why definitions in terms of | function are inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions |
Tx:8.74 | case, nor does the Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the | function of the Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to |
Tx:8.75 | It is still true that the body has no | function of itself, because it is not an end. The ego, however, |
Tx:8.75 | establishes it as an end because as such it will lose its true | function. This is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole |
Tx:8.75 | of everything 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 |
Tx:8.76 | the data are meaningless, there is no point in considering them. The | function of truth is to collect data which are true. There is no |
Tx:8.79 | them and therefore heal you. Everything used in accordance with its | function as the Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used |
Tx:8.84 | would be teaching that one error can be more real than another. His | function is to distinguish only between the false and the true, |
Tx:8.93 | available but cannot help you. When we said that the Holy Spirit's | function is to sort out the true from the false in your unconscious, |
Tx:9.8 | Do not undertake His | function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the function of |
Tx:9.8 | undertake His function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the | function of healing in time, because that is what time is for. God |
Tx:9.8 | healing in time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the | function to create in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but |
Tx:9.14 | Follow His teaching in forgiveness then, because forgiveness is His | function, and He knows how to fulfill it perfectly. That is what we |
Tx:9.15 | of the fact that you do not know what it is. His work is not your | function, and unless you accept this, you cannot learn what your |
Tx:9.15 | function, and unless you accept this, you cannot learn what your | function is. The confusion of functions is so typical of the ego that |
Tx:9.28 | he is the Guide. The human therapist can only let Him fulfill His | function. He needs no help for this. He will tell you exactly what to |
Tx:9.28 | remember also that the right one will. Trust Him, for help is His | function, and He is of God. |
Tx:10.10 | It can only be increased, and everything He creates has the | function of creating. Love does not limit, and what it creates is not |
Tx:10.21 | You will never rest until you know your | function and fulfill it, for only in this can your will and your |
Tx:10.21 | has given Himself to you. You who have God must be as God, for His | function became yours with His gift. Invite this knowledge back into |
Tx:10.45 | the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative | function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose function He |
Tx:10.45 | creative function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose | function He shares with you. By His Willingness to share it, He |
Tx:10.51 | establish your autonomy by identifying with Him and fulfilling your | function as it exists in truth. The ego believes that to accomplish |
Tx:10.51 | its goal is happiness. But it is given you to know that God's | function is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your joint |
Tx:11.64 | through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you share in His | function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on |

Tx:11.64 | is creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His | function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares His with you |
Tx:11.73 | If it is your judgment, it will be wrong, for judgment is not your | function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right, |
Tx:11.73 | judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His | function. You share His function only by judging as He does, |
Tx:11.73 | it will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His | function only by judging as He does, reserving no judgment at all |
Tx:11.83 | the attraction of love for love remains irresistible. For it is the | function of love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all |
Tx:12.23 | course on love because it is about you. You have been told that your | function in this world is healing, and your function in Heaven is |
Tx:12.23 | have been told that your function in this world is healing, and your | function in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches that your function on |
Tx:12.23 | and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches that your | function on earth is destruction and that you have no function at all |
Tx:12.23 | that your function on earth is destruction and that you have no | function at all in Heaven. It would thus destroy you here and bury |
Tx:12.30 | as rendering the need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the | function of time as temporary, serving only His teaching function, |
Tx:12.30 | regard the function of time as temporary, serving only His teaching | function, which is temporary by definition. His emphasis is therefore |
Tx:12.31 | The ego, on the other hand, regards the | function of time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for |
Tx:12.32 | You too will interpret the | function of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function |
Tx:12.32 | the function of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your | function in the world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the |
Tx:12.32 | extends the present rather than the past. But if you interpret your | function as destruction, you will lose sight of the present and hold |
Tx:13.3 | formulation of reality with no effect at all. The miracle, without a | function in Heaven, is needful here. Aspects of reality can still be |
Tx:13.4 | Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no | function. He is not separate from either, being in the mind of both |
Tx:13.64 | that guilt is interference, not salvation, and serves no useful | function at all. |
Tx:13.88 | real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your only | function, and you must learn that it is all you want to learn. |
Tx:13.89 | form it takes, your guilt arises from your failure to fulfill your | function in God's Mind with all of yours. Can you escape this guilt |
Tx:13.89 | all of yours. Can you escape this guilt by failing to fulfill your | function here? You need not understand creation to do what must be |
Tx:13.90 | Holiness nor anyone unworthy of His perfect Love. Fail not in your | function of loving in a loveless place made out of darkness and |
Tx:13.91 | decisions for yourself, remember that you have decided against your | function in Heaven and consider carefully whether you want to make |
Tx:13.91 | and consider carefully whether you want to make decisions here. Your | function here is only to decide against deciding what you want in |
Tx:13.91 | do? Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for God and for your | function as He knows it. So will He teach you to remove the awful |
Tx:14.6 | learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true | function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy, |
Tx:14.23 | The Holy Spirit's | function is entirely communication. He therefore must remove whatever |
Tx:14.38 | of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only | function. Keep not your making from your Father, for hiding it has |
Tx:14.47 | order of difficulty can occur. The miracle, therefore, has a unique | function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the laws of |
Tx:14.50 | is to judge and to arrange by judgment. [Therefore, it is not your | function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It will seem difficult for you to |
Tx:15.1 | it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled His teaching | function until you have become such a consistent learner that you |
Tx:15.24 | you, and by limiting yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your | function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and |
Tx:15.24 | For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your | function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness. |
Tx:15.25 | There is no doubt about what your | function is, for the Holy Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt |
Tx:15.48 | has entered cannot be depended on because it is not perfect. In His | function as Interpreter of what you have made, the Holy Spirit uses |
Tx:15.77 | surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching | function to instruct those who believe that communication is |
Tx:15.77 | And guilt, whose only purpose is to disrupt communication, has no | function here. |
Tx:15.84 | what God cannot know and what you do not understand. It is His holy | function to accept them both, and by removing every element of |
Tx:15.84 | to join them into one. He will do this because it is His | function. Leave, then, what seems to you to be impossible to Him Who |
Tx:15.92 | season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's | function to use them both, though not as the ego uses them. This is |
Tx:16.8 | No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose | function is to meet them. That is His function and not yours. He will |
Tx:16.8 | leave them all to Him Whose function is to meet them. That is His | function and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would |
Tx:16.9 | Him is for the whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His | function, for He will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your |
Tx:17.10 | for everything that has been used for learning will have no | function. Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no |
Tx:17.27 | can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only | function. Because of His reason for creating His relationship with |
Tx:17.27 | Because of His reason for creating His relationship with you, the | function of relationships became forever “to make happy.” And nothing |
Tx:17.27 | became forever “to make happy.” And nothing else. To fulfill this | function, you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God |
Tx:17.27 | would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever fulfills this | function not cannot be real. |
Tx:17.28 | And by that all that is meant is that He will restore to them the | function given them by God. The function you have given them is |
Tx:17.28 | is that He will restore to them the function given them by God. The | function you have given them is clearly not to make happy. But the |
Tx:18.13 | You have been called together to the most holy | function that this world contains. It is the only one which has no |
Tx:18.30 | You who are now the bringers of salvation have the | function of bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been |
Tx:18.38 | instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose | function is release. Do not assume His function for Him. Give Him but |
Tx:18.38 | yourselves to Him Whose function is release. Do not assume His | function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how |
Tx:18.42 | have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your mind. That is its | function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the |
Tx:18.42 | your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His | function. Your part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let |
Tx:18.43 | Can you plan for this? Or could you prepare yourselves for such a | function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He change |
Tx:18.45 | Yet it is very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special | function here. It will become the happy dream through which He can |
Tx:18.45 | who believe that love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the | function that He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you, |
Tx:18.52 | it through projection. And though it clearly can misperceive the | function of the body, it cannot change its function from what the |
Tx:18.52 | can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change its | function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was |
Tx:19.39 | in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's | function here will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing |
Tx:20.32 | this earth in seeming solitude is a savior given, whose special | function here is to release him and so to free himself. In the world |
Tx:20.33 | them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn its special | function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. |
Tx:20.35 | salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one | function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy |
Tx:20.37 | to find the certainty his Father has in him. And there he finds his | function of restoring his Father's laws to what was held outside them |
Tx:20.41 | to him. When it is used only as the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no | function, for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that |
Tx:22.23 | mercy condemnation. And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose | function is to save will save. How he will do it is beyond your |
Tx:22.26 | that has been given you? And would you not exchange in gratitude the | function of an executioner you gave him for the one he has in truth? |
Tx:22.44 | by receiving it, he learned it was not given him alone. Such is the | function of a holy relationship—to receive together and give as you |
Tx:22.58 | This is your part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your | function here and have been answered. Seek not to change it nor to |
Tx:22.59 | loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's | function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only that you give |
Tx:22.64 | This is the | function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other |
Tx:23.26 | ego will enable you to find escape from what it wants. That is the | function of this course, which does not value what the ego cherishes. |
Tx:23.32 | is. What protects madness is the belief that it is true. It is the | function of insanity to take the place of truth. It must be seen as |
Tx:23.34 | it possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to | function many times before. In truth it does not function, yet in |
Tx:23.34 | how it appears to function many times before. In truth it does not | function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it |
Tx:23.49 | God does not share His | function with a body. He gave the function to create unto His Son |
Tx:23.49 | God does not share His function with a body. He gave the | function to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not |
Tx:23.49 | unto His Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the | function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same |
Tx:23.49 | murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no different | function. Creation is the means for God's extension, and what is His |
Tx:23.50 | relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy | function God gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not |
Tx:24.13 | as the gauge of littleness and be released from limits? You have a | function in salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the |
Tx:24.18 | to forgive you all the sins you think you placed between him and the | function of salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his |
Tx:24.18 | the function of salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his | function, any more than you can change the truth in him and in |
Tx:24.57 | of any kind, is all the other choice can offer you. Futility of | function not fulfilled will haunt you while your brother lies asleep, |
Tx:24.59 | Specialness is the | function which you gave yourself. It stands for you alone, as |
Tx:25.9 | aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit's | function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must |
Tx:25.19 | in him and sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your only | function to behold in him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the |
Tx:25.40 | you chose to have him be to you. If you decide against his proper | function, the only one he has in truth, you are depriving him of all |
Tx:25.41 | he be saved, for by his freedom will you gain your own. To let his | function be fulfilled is but the means to let yours be. And so you |
Tx:25.41 | does you do along with him. And as you see him, so do you define the | function he will have for you until you see him differently and let |
Tx:25.45 | be unrecognized by you. Nor does He will that he remain without the | function that He gave to him. Let him no more be lonely, for the |
Tx:25.45 | Let him no more be lonely, for the lonely ones are those who see no | function in the world for them to fill, no place where they are |
Tx:25.46 | what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special | function in salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is |
Tx:25.46 | for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his special | function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself |
Tx:25.47 | given to himself, and so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only | function meaningful in time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to |
Tx:25.47 | is for all. But when it rests on all, it is complete and every | function of this world completed with it. Then is time no more. |
Tx:25.49 | The Holy Spirit needs your special | function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a special |
Tx:25.49 | appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your special | function in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack and let |
Tx:25.49 | been and will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the | function given each of you for one another. Take it gently then from |
Tx:25.56 | Your special | function is the special form in which the fact that God is not insane |
Tx:25.58 | overlook nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each his special | function is designed to be perceived as possible and more and more |
Tx:25.58 | everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a special | function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook His Son |
Tx:25.59 | and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy. Accept the | function that has been assigned to you in God's Own plan to show His |
Tx:25.61 | Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your special | function has a part. For here your special function is made whole |
Tx:25.61 | in which your special function has a part. For here your special | function is made whole because it shares the function of the whole. |
Tx:25.61 | For here your special function is made whole because it shares the | function of the whole. |
Tx:25.72 | as well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His special | function to hold out to you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every |
Tx:25.74 | so justice may return to love and there be satisfied. Each special | function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that love |
Tx:25.75 | great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special | function is a call to Him that He may smile on you whose sinlessness |
Tx:25.75 | His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special | function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a witness unto his |
Tx:25.77 | Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special | function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for |
Tx:26.5 | that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special | function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a |
Tx:26.9 | within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special | function to ensure the door be opened that he may come forth to shine |
Tx:26.9 | of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy Spirit's special | function but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he |
Tx:26.9 | the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice? Could your | function be a task apart and separate from His Own? |
Tx:26.15 | preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again your special | function. One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And |
Tx:26.17 | Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special | function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His love |
Tx:26.24 | Is not this like your special | function, where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what |
Tx:26.25 | himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his real | function of creating, which his forgiveness offers him again. |
Tx:26.53 | effects. Who looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only | function here and serves to bring the joy this world denies to every |
Tx:26.57 | is what you are. This is the miracle by which creation became your | function, sharing it with God. It is not understood apart from Him |
Tx:26.89 | you, you have laid on it by rendering it purposeless, without the | function that the Holy Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus |
Tx:27.10 | Your | function is to [prove to] your brother that sin can have no cause. |
Tx:27.10 | must it be to see yourself a picture of the proof that what your | function is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the |
Tx:27.10 | but waiting for a purpose to be given that it may fulfill the | function that it will receive. |
Tx:27.12 | You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your | function from yourself. This thing without a purpose cannot hide the |
Tx:27.12 | function from yourself. This thing without a purpose cannot hide the | function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your |
Tx:27.12 | function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your | function both be reconciled at last and seen as one. |
Tx:27.22 | [Correction is not your | function. It belongs to One Who knows of fairness, not of guilt. If |
Tx:27.22 | not of guilt. If you assume correction's role, you lose the | function of forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns |
Tx:27.22 | are the same, and therefore is correction not of you. Identity and | function are the same, and by your function do you know yourself. And |
Tx:27.22 | not of you. Identity and function are the same, and by your | function do you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function |
Tx:27.22 | by your function do you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your | function with the function of Another, you must be confused about |
Tx:27.22 | you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function with the | function of Another, you must be confused about yourself and who you |
Tx:27.22 | and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to take God's | function from Him and deny that it is His? Yet if it is not His, it |
Tx:27.23 | mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive a | function unified which has conflicting purposes and different ends. |
Tx:27.23 | of your correction as the one more innocent than he. This splits his | function off from yours and gives you both a different role. And so |
Tx:27.23 | role. And so you cannot be perceived as one and, with a single | function, that would mean a shared identity with but one end. |
Tx:27.24 | [Correction you would do must separate, because that is the | function given it by you. When you perceive correction is the same as |
Tx:27.24 | from the one you cherish and you think is yours. Thus does your | function seem divided, with a half in opposition to a half. And these |
Tx:27.25 | is. From an idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of | function split between the two. And what you would correct is only |
Tx:27.26 | it is the other half. And this He does by giving both of you a | function that is one, not different. |
Tx:27.27 | Correction is the | function given both, but neither one alone. And when it is fulfilled |
Tx:27.27 | is divided purpose which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the | function which the Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured |
Tx:27.27 | sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill a | function He cannot understand and recognize as His. For only thus can |
Tx:27.27 | yours preserved intact, despite your separate views of what your | function is. If He upheld divided function, you were lost indeed. His |
Tx:27.27 | your separate views of what your function is. If He upheld divided | function, you were lost indeed. His inability to see His goal divided |
Tx:27.27 | for each of you preserves your Self from being made aware of any | function other than Its own. And thus is healing given both of you. |
Tx:27.28 | as one because It is not split in purpose and conceives a single | function as Its only one. Here is the function given It conceived to |
Tx:27.28 | purpose and conceives a single function as Its only one. Here is the | function given It conceived to be Its own and not apart from that Its |
Tx:27.28 | Giver keeps because it has been shared. In His acceptance of this | function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single |
Tx:27.35 | come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. There is no choice of | function anywhere. The choice you fear to lose you never had. Yet |
Tx:27.57 | could it tell a part of God Himself what it should feel and what its | function is. Yet must He love whatever you hold dear. And for each |
Tx:27.61 | effects with you. And no one will elect to suffer more. What better | function could you serve than this? Be healed that you may heal, and |
Tx:28.24 | a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to cause the | function of causation, not effect. For this confusion has produced |
Tx:28.26 | it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause because the | function of causation is to have effects. And where effects are gone, |
Tx:28.44 | The Holy Spirit's | function is to take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the |
Tx:28.52 | Creation proves reality because it shares the | function all creation shares. It is not made of little bits of glass, |
Tx:29.12 | to demand escape from sin and pain of what was made to serve the | function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and sin are one |
Tx:29.27 | In simplest form it can be said attack is a response to | function unfulfilled as you perceive the function. It can be in you |
Tx:29.27 | attack is a response to function unfulfilled as you perceive the | function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it is |
Tx:29.28 | When you are angry, is it not because someone has failed to fill the | function you allotted him? And does not this become the “reason” your |
Tx:29.28 | more or less. They are desired or not. And each one represents some | function which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or body, |
Tx:29.29 | becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the | function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy. |
Tx:29.30 | What is your brother for? You do not know because your | function is obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you |
Tx:29.30 | in every dream he has, and you have help to give him if you see the | function of the dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize |
Tx:29.30 | to give him if you see the function of the dream as He perceives its | function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to serve the function |
Tx:29.30 | its function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to serve the | function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each |
Tx:29.33 | very still and hear God's Voice in him and let It tell you what his | function is. He was created that you might be whole, for only the |
Tx:29.36 | share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its | function, it was made for hate and will continue in death's services. |
Tx:29.37 | dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different | function for a dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function |
Tx:29.37 | function for a dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the | function of attack and separation, even though it was for this that |
Tx:29.41 | You were not born to die. You cannot change, because your | function has been fixed by God. All other goals are set in time and |
Tx:29.41 | it is gone. And where it once held seeming sway is now restored the | function God established for His Son in full awareness. Time can set |
Tx:29.41 | its changelessness. There is no death because the living share the | function their Creator gave to them. Life's function cannot be to |
Tx:29.41 | the living share the function their Creator gave to them. Life's | function cannot be to die. It must be life's extension, that it be as |
Tx:30.42 | Completion is the | function of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond |
Tx:31.16 | this his purpose is. Unless he serves it, he has not fulfilled the | function that was given him by you. And thus he merits death because |
Tx:31.73 | The concept of yourself which now you hold would guarantee your | function here remain forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it |
Tx:31.73 | to Him Who understands the changes that it needs to let it serve the | function given you to bring you peace that you may offer peace to |
W1:15.1 | think you see them. This is how your “seeing” was made. This is the | function you have given your body's eyes. It is not seeing. It is |
W1:37.1 | This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true | function in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the |
W1:43.1 | so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is its | function as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function |
W1:43.1 | is its function as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its | function in truth. |
W1:43.2 | In God you cannot see. Perception has no | function in God and does not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the |
W1:43.18 | slip by without remembering today's idea and thus remembering your | function. |
W1:61.2 | to insist that you cannot be the light of the world if that is the | function God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert |
W1:61.2 | God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this | function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego. |
W1:61.3 | you it is true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real | function on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful |
W1:61.6 | I am the light of the world. That is my only | function. That is why I am here. |
W1:61.8 | it throughout the day, and turn to sleep as you reaffirm your | function and your only purpose here. These two practice periods may |
W1:62.6 | Forgiveness is my | function as the light of the world. I would fulfill my function that |
W1:62.6 | is my function as the light of the world. I would fulfill my | function that I may be happy. |
W1:62.7 | Then devote a minute or two to considering your | function and the happiness and release it will bring you. |
W1:63.2 | You are indeed the light of the world with such a | function. The Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It is yours |
W1:63.2 | purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you will forget your | function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is no idle request |
W1:63.3 | Recognizing the importance of this | function, we will be happy to remember it very often today. We will |
W1:64.1 | temptation.” The purpose of the world you see is to obscure your | function of forgiveness and provide you with a justification for |
W1:64.3 | To review our last few lessons, your | function here is to be the light of the world, a function given you |
W1:64.3 | few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the world, a | function given you by God. It is only the arrogance of the ego that |
W1:64.4 | from all temptation. The Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the | function given you by God will you be happy. That is because your |
W1:64.4 | function given you by God will you be happy. That is because your | function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness becomes |
W1:64.5 | way. Therefore every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your | function, you are really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us |
W1:64.8 | Let me not forget my | function. Let me not try to substitute mine for God's. Let me forgive |
W1:64.9 | will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your | function to you and to the world. |
W1:64.12 | This is the world it is my | function to save. |
W1:65.1 | your commitment to salvation. It also reminds you that you have no | function other than this. Both of these thoughts are obviously |

W1:65.1 | necessarily entails two phases: the recognition of salvation as your | function and the relinquishment of all the other goals you have |
W1:65.1 | world. This is the only way in which you can say and mean, “My only | function is the one God gave me.” This is the only way in which you |
W1:65.7 | thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only | function. |
W1:65.9 | On this clean slate, let my true | function be written for me. |
W1:65.13 | My only | function is the one God gave me. I want no other and I have no other. |
W1:66.1 | our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling your | function and achieving happiness. This is because you do not really |
W1:66.2 | battle with the Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your | function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit about |
W1:66.2 | ego attacks and the Holy Spirit does not respond. He knows what your | function is. He knows that it is your happiness. |
W1:66.3 | this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your | function. We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. |
W1:66.4 | the fact that not only is there a very real connection between the | function God gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually |
W1:66.4 | are actually identical. God gives you only happiness. Therefore the | function He gave you must be happiness, even if it appears to be |
W1:66.6 | God gives me only happiness. He has given my | function to me. Therefore my function must be happiness. |
W1:66.6 | me only happiness. He has given my function to me. Therefore my | function must be happiness. |
W1:66.9 | The second premise is that God has given you your | function. We have seen that there are only two parts of your mind. |
W1:66.10 | Thus it must be that your | function is established by God through His Voice or is made by the |
W1:66.10 | you have made to replace Him. Which is true? Unless God gave your | function to you, it must be the gift of the ego. Does the ego really |
W1:66.11 | today. Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your | function has taken in your mind and the many ways in which you tried |
W1:66.15 | My happiness and | function are one because God has given me both. |
W1:69.3 | is our only need. There is no other purpose here and no other | function to fulfill. Learning salvation is our only goal. Let us end |
W1:R2.4 | are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your | function unfulfilled. |
W1:81.2 | I am the light of the world. How holy am I, who have been given the | function of lighting up the world! Let me be still before my |
W1:81.5 | [62] Forgiveness is my | function as the light of the world. It is through accepting my |
W1:81.5 | is my function as the light of the world. It is through accepting my | function that I will see the light in me. And in this light will my |
W1:81.5 | function that I will see the light in me. And in this light will my | function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight. My |
W1:81.5 | my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my | function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will |
W1:81.7 | Let this help me learn what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my | function from my will. I would not use this for an alien purpose. |
W1:82.5 | [64] Let me not forget my | function. I would not forget my function because I would remember my |
W1:82.5 | [64] Let me not forget my function. I would not forget my | function because I would remember my Self. I cannot fulfill my |
W1:82.5 | my function because I would remember my Self. I cannot fulfill my | function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my function, I will not |
W1:82.5 | I cannot fulfill my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my | function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me. |
W1:82.7 | Let me not use this to hide my | function from me. I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my |
W1:82.7 | function from me. I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my | function. This may threaten my ego but cannot change my function in |
W1:82.7 | fulfill my function. This may threaten my ego but cannot change my | function in any way. |
W1:83.2 | [65] My only | function is the one God gave me. I have no function but the one God |
W1:83.2 | [65] My only function is the one God gave me. I have no | function but the one God gave me. This recognition releases me from |
W1:83.2 | to think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only | function is the one God gave me. |
W1:83.4 | My perception of this does not change my | function. This does not give me a function other than the one God |
W1:83.4 | of this does not change my function. This does not give me a | function other than the one God gave me. Let me not use this to |
W1:83.4 | other than the one God gave me. Let me not use this to justify a | function God did not give me. |
W1:83.5 | [66] My happiness and my | function are one. All things that come from God are one. They come |
W1:83.5 | They come from Oneness and must be received as one. Fulfilling my | function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And |
W1:83.7 | This cannot separate my happiness from my | function. The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly |
W1:83.7 | my happiness from my function. The oneness of my happiness and my | function remains wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, |
W1:83.7 | including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my | function. |
W1:89.2 | laws of God entitle me to have that I may use it on behalf of the | function He has given me. |
W1:96.5 | joy. Its power comes from Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its | function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and |
W1:96.5 | perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its | function then, it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its |
W1:96.6 | and sees itself as helpless, limited, and weak. Dissociated from its | function now, it thinks it is alone and separate, attacked by armies |
W1:96.15 | to you will tell you you are saved and that your mind has found the | function that it sought to lose. Your Self will welcome it and give |
W1:97.2 | and joy. You are the Spirit which completes Himself and shares His | function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. |
W1:98.3 | to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they know their | function will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. |
W1:98.5 | you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize your special | function here? Is not five minutes of the hour but a small request to |
W1:98.11 | He will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special | function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust |
W1:98.11 | say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the | function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with |
W1:99.6 | not created by the only Source it knows. This is the thought whose | function is to save by giving you its function as your own. |
W1:99.6 | This is the thought whose function is to save by giving you its | function as your own. |
W1:99.7 | Salvation is your | function with the One to Whom the plan was given. Now are you |
W1:99.8 | Salvation is my only | function here. God still is Love, and this is not His Will. |
W1:99.13 | Salvation is my only | function here. Salvation and forgiveness are the same. |
W1:99.14 | Then turn to Him who shares your | function here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay |
W1:99.15 | your Father gave. You do not want to be another self. You have no | function that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one you think you |
W1:99.17 | Salvation is my only | function here. God still is Love, and this is not His Will. |
W1:99.18 | Your only | function tells you you are one. Remind yourself of this between the |
W1:99.19 | Salvation is my only | function here. |
W1:100.1 | bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One | function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for |
W1:100.2 | be understood by those to whom He sends you. They will see their | function in your shining face and hear God calling to them in your |
W1:100.6 | Today we will attempt to understand joy is our | function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all the |
W1:100.9 | which proves to us and all the world God's Will for us. It is your | function that you find it here and that you find it now. For this you |
W1:102.5 | I share God's Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my | function now. |
W1:102.6 | Then seek this | function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your |
W1:102.7 | Be happy, for your only | function here is happiness. You have no need to be less loving to |
W1:102.7 | to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one | function. And be sure that you are joining with God's Will in doing |
W1:106.6 | It is here and will today be given unto you. And you will learn your | function from the One Who chose it in your Father's Name for you. |
W1:107.11 | from Him. You speak to Him today and make your pledge to let His | function be fulfilled through you. To share His function is to share |
W1:107.11 | pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you. To share His | function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you say: |
W1:107.15 | Do not forget your | function for today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, |
W1:114.3 | [98] I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my | function be but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for |
W1:115.2 | [99] Salvation is my only | function here. My function here is to forgive the world for all the |
W1:115.2 | [99] Salvation is my only function here. My | function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. |
W1:115.5 | Salvation is my only | function here. |
W1:123.3 | changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a | function in salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far |
W1:135.14 | is health assured. For everything the mind employs for this will | function flawlessly and with the strength that has been given it and |
W1:135.27 | or magical beliefs can still have value when you have received your | function from the Voice of God Himself? |
W1:137.6 | Yet think not healing is unworthy of your | function here. For anti-Christ becomes more powerful than Christ to |
W1:137.13 | We will remember, as the hour strikes, our | function is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to |
W1:137.16 | sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor will we let this | function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering our |
W1:137.16 | be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering our | function with this thought: |
W1:153.8 | world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our | function offers us. We would not let our happiness slip by because a |
W1:153.11 | It is the | function of God's ministers to help their brothers choose as they |
W1:154.1 | but attempts to hold decision off, and to delay commitment to our | function. It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what |
W1:154.2 | appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose | function is to speak for you as well. Seeing your strengths exactly |
W1:154.3 | at last there is One Voice in you. And that One Voice appoints your | function and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand |
W1:154.15 | how they have changed our minds about ourselves and what our | function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, |
W1:184.9 | world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching | function. You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. But |
W1:186.1 | from every mind. Here is the thought of true humility which holds no | function as your own but that which has been given you. It offers |
W1:186.2 | Let us not fight our | function. We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means are |
W1:186.4 | to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the | function He will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our |
W1:186.8 | And so we find our peace. We will accept the | function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird |
W1:186.10 | will go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the | function given you. The images you make give rise to but conflicting |
W1:186.11 | the sun's return each morning to dispel the night, your truly given | function stands out clear and wholly unambiguous. There is no doubt |
W1:186.12 | voice direct you. Hear instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a | function given you by your Creator, Who remembers you and urges that |
W1:186.14 | is given here as it is needed. In this form, you can fulfill your | function even here, although what love will mean to you when |
W1:186.14 | Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your | function here. |
W1:192.1 | name, forever one with God and with your Self. Yet what can such a | function mean within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore |
W1:192.1 | within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a | function in the world in its own terms. For who can understand a |
W1:192.2 | Forgiveness represents your | function here. It is not God's creation, for it is the means by which |

W1:197.9 | Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the | function God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased |
W1:200.6 | What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no | function and does nothing, for it is unknown in Heaven. It is only |
W1:200.6 | It is only hell where it is needed and where it must serve a mighty | function. Is not the escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams |
W1:R6.5 | it every time the hour strikes or we remember in between we have a | function that transcends the world we see. Beyond this and a |

W2:WF.5 | your ultimate success. He has forgiven you already, for such is His | function given Him by God. Now must you share His function and |
W2:WF.5 | for such is His function given Him by God. Now must you share His | function and forgive whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, |
W2:WIW.5 | has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change our | function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it |
W2:257.1 | No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. Nor can he | function without deep distress and great depression. Let us therefore |
W2:270.1 | Your memory returns to him. And now his will is one with Yours. His | function now is but Your own, and every thought except Your own is |
W2:WIHS.5 | is restored to God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the | function of completing God when all He wills is that you be complete? |

W2:WIM.1 | error but does not attempt to go beyond perception nor exceed the | function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it |
W2:343.1 | Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the | function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your Son. I |
W2:WAI.2 | is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our | function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we |
W2:WAI.3 | and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a | function that is past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will return when |
W2:FL.3 | let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the | function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. |

Tx:22.38 | And there is no part of the journey that seems more hopeless and | futile than standing where the road branches and not deciding on |

Tx:5.72 | fears of future retaliation or abandonment and thus ensure that the | future will remain like the past. This is the ego's continuity and |

Tx:6.31 | lines as if they meet in the distance, which is the same as in the | future if time and space are one dimension. Your perception will end |
Tx:6.33 | their ultimate meeting. This convergence seems to be far in the | future only because your mind is not in perfect alignment with the |
Tx:8.9 | with the ego's teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your | future teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm to your learning than |
Tx:11.80 | in your minds and cannot be obliterated. It is no more past than | future, being forever always. |
Tx:11.96 | and thus depends on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to | future. No one who believes this can understand what always means. |
Tx:11.96 | and always must be now. Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and | future in your minds to ensure the ego's continuity. For if what has |
Tx:11.97 | guiltlessness, you learn that the past has never been, and so the | future is needless. The future, in time, is always associated with |
Tx:11.97 | that the past has never been, and so the future is needless. The | future, in time, is always associated with expiation, and only guilt |
Tx:12.26 | emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure its continuity by making the | future like the past and thus avoiding the present. By the notion of |
Tx:12.26 | avoiding the present. By the notion of paying for the past in the | future, the past becomes the determiner of the future, making them |
Tx:12.26 | for the past in the future, the past becomes the determiner of the | future, making them continuous without an intervening present. For |
Tx:12.26 | For the ego uses the present only as a brief transition to the | future, in which it brings the past to the future by interpreting the |
Tx:12.26 | a brief transition to the future, in which it brings the past to the | future by interpreting the present in past terms. |
Tx:12.28 | retaliation for a past that is no more. And this decision is one of | future pain. Unless you learn that past pain is delusional, you are |
Tx:12.28 | Unless you learn that past pain is delusional, you are choosing a | future of illusions and losing the endless opportunities which you |
Tx:12.29 | encounter your past, and because your dreams were not holy, the | future cannot be, and the present is without meaning. It is evident |
Tx:12.30 | this world offers. It is in the reality of now, without past or | future, that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity lies. For |
Tx:12.31 | interprets the goal of time as its own. The continuity of past and | future under its direction is the only purpose the ego perceives in |
Tx:12.32 | in the past and must be accomplished in the present to release the | future. This interpretation ties the future to the present and |
Tx:12.32 | in the present to release the future. This interpretation ties the | future to the present and extends the present rather than the past. |
Tx:12.32 | sight of the present and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive | future. And time will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is |
Tx:12.48 | depending on whose interpretation of it you use. Past, present, and | future are not continuous unless you force continuity on them. You |
Tx:12.48 | destroy time's continuity by breaking it into past, present, and | future for your own purposes. You would anticipate the future on the |
Tx:12.48 | present, and future for your own purposes. You would anticipate the | future on the basis of your past experience and plan for it |
Tx:12.48 | plan for it accordingly. Yet by doing so, you are aligning past and | future and not allowing the miracle, which could intervene between |
Tx:13.3 | because the last step in your redemption, which seems to be in the | future, was accomplished by God in your creation. The separation has |
Tx:13.11 | always condemn, and having done so, they will condemn, linking the | future to the past as is the ego's law. Fidelity unto this law lets |
Tx:13.11 | believe that they are guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the | future and the past, the laws of God must intervene if you would free |
Tx:13.13 | accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the | future will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is |
Tx:15.2 | and that the results of the Holy Spirit's teaching are far in the | future. This is not so. For the Holy Spirit uses time in His own way |
Tx:15.4 | The ego teaches that hell is in the | future, for this is what all its teaching is directed to. Hell is its |
Tx:15.6 | The ego teaches that Heaven is here and now because the | future is hell. Even when it attacks so savagely that it tries to |

Tx:15.7 | experienced is to bring hell here, but always as a foretaste of the | future. For no one who considers himself as deserving hell can |
Tx:15.9 | all of this now. Fear 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 |
Tx:15.9 | separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the | future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son |
Tx:15.10 | This lesson takes no time. For what is time without a past and | future? It has taken time to misguide you so completely, but it takes |
Tx:15.35 | You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and | future, in which you will not find it, it stands in shimmering |
Tx:18.65 | or anticipated, but never experienced just now. Only its past and | future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is never |
Tx:18.65 | is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in the past or in the | future. |

Tx:18.69 | loses all attraction right now. For here is time denied and past and | future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing |
Tx:19.23 | will always be impossible. This is his past, his present, and his | future. For he has somehow managed to corrupt his Father and changed |

Tx:21.90 | question is already answered and what you ask for given. Here is the | future now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what |
Tx:23.54 | shines upon them forever. It is their past, their present, and their | future always the same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They |

Tx:26.71 | future time. No more can it be overlooked except within the present. | Future loss is not your fear. But present joining is your dread. Who |
Tx:26.71 | present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation except now? A | future cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be that if |
Tx:26.71 | is a present cause. And it is this that needs correction, not a | future state. |
Tx:26.72 | The plans you make for safety all are laid within the | future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given it as yet, |

W1:135.16 | on the idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its | future course. |
