| Tx:2.10 | Fourth, the | idea that since man can create himself, the direction of his own |
| Tx:2.47 | of the inevitability of the final decision. If you review the | idea carefully, however, you will realize that this is not true. |
| Tx:3.53 | when their behavior is unstable they are disagreeing with God's | idea of the creation. Man can do this if he chooses, but he would |
| Tx:3.63 | You have no | idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting |
| Tx:3.65 | likely to laugh at others, if only because you cannot tolerate the | idea of being more debased than they are. All of this does make you |
| Tx:3.76 | to fear of retaliation by a “father figure,” a particularly curious | idea in view of the fact that no one uses the term to refer to the |
| Tx:3.80 | it was given you from beyond this world. Only in this world is the | idea of an authority problem meaningful. The world is not left by |
| Tx:4.5 | example of the kind of thinking which stems from it. The | idea of buying and selling implies precisely the kind of exchange |
| Tx:4.6 | quite frequently in the Bible. To profess is to identify with an | idea and offer the idea to others to be their own. The idea does not |
| Tx:4.6 | in the Bible. To profess is to identify with an idea and offer the | idea to others to be their own. The idea does not lessen; it becomes |
| Tx:4.6 | with an idea and offer the idea to others to be their own. The | idea does not lessen; it becomes stronger. |
| Tx:4.25 | There could be no better example of the fact that the ego is an | idea, though not a reality-based thought. |
| Tx:4.28 | merely know God. Belief that there is another way is the loftiest | idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is because it contains a |
| Tx:4.32 | as its home and does try to satisfy itself through the body, but the | idea that this is possible is a decision of the ego, which is |
| Tx:4.38 | to evaluate it unless its status as fact is questioned. Every | idea to which the ego has accorded the status of fact is |
| Tx:4.49 | you have for the self you have made. You project onto your own | idea of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the love |
| Tx:4.52 | It has never really entered your mind to give up every | idea you ever had that opposes knowledge. You retain thousands of |
| Tx:4.54 | Any distinction in this respect is meaningful only when the | idea of “getting,” which implies a lack, has already been accepted. |
| Tx:4.70 | 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 dispel the ego. |
| Tx:4.70 | the ego's fear of the idea of God is at least logical, since this | idea does dispel the ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, |
| Tx:4.71 | eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body because it does not accept the | idea that the body is good enough to be its home. Here is where the |
| Tx:4.76 | defeated. The ego has countenanced some strange compromises with the | idea of the eternal, making many odd attempts to relate the concept |
| Tx:4.77 | examples. A more recent ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The | idea of preserving the body by suspension, thus giving it the kind of |
| Tx:4.87 | convinced as yet. The very fact that you are preoccupied with the | idea of escaping from the ego shows this. |
| Tx:5.6 | a physical possession, you do divide its ownership. If you share an | idea, however, you do not lessen it. All of it is still yours, |
| Tx:5.8 | more who believe in them, the stronger they become. Everything is an | idea. How, then, is it possible that giving and losing can be |
| Tx:5.21 | light. The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the | idea of darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls |
| Tx:5.28 | to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the | idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the |
| Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the | idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being |
| Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. Being thought, the | idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it is also the |
| Tx:5.33 | idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it is also the | idea of God. Since you are part of God, it is also the idea of |
| Tx:5.33 | is also the idea of God. Since you are part of God, it is also the | idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The idea of the |
| Tx:5.33 | is also the idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The | idea of the Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because |
| Tx:5.35 | it is limited by your unwillingness to hear it. Will itself is an | idea and is therefore strengthened by being shared. If you make the |
| Tx:5.36 | of the ego, because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time | idea. Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said |
| Tx:5.37 | is with the ego and the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an | idea of God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief |
| Tx:5.39 | If you believe there is strife, you will react viciously because the | idea of danger has entered your mind. The idea itself is an appeal to |
| Tx:5.39 | viciously because the idea of danger has entered your mind. The | idea itself is an appeal to the ego. |
| Tx:5.40 | for a split mind. It was not an act, but a thought. Therefore, the | idea of separation can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. |
| Tx:5.40 | Therefore, the idea of separation can be given away, just as the | idea of unity can. Either way, the idea will be strengthened in the |
| Tx:5.40 | can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the | idea will be strengthened in the mind of the giver. |
| Tx:5.49 | the error, which is only part of healing. Your concept lacked the | idea of undoing it. What you were really advocating, then, was |
| Tx:5.57 | must devote themselves first to healing, because having received the | idea of healing, they must give it to hold it. The full power of |
| Tx:5.62 | However ridiculous the | idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the |
| Tx:5.83 | The | idea of “set” is among the better psychological concepts. Actually, |
| Tx:6.23 | of “punishment” involves the projection of blame and reinforces the | idea that blame is justified. The behavior that results is a lesson |
| Tx:6.33 | future only because your mind is not in perfect alignment with the | idea and therefore does not want it now. |
| Tx:6.35 | The ego can accept the | idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the idea |
| Tx:6.35 | the idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the | idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you that even |
| Tx:6.35 | any problem. It does not follow, however, that you cannot make the | idea of return [both] necessary and difficult. It is surely clear, |
| Tx:6.39 | projecting and being. This is because, as we have said before, every | idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends outward. |
| Tx:6.44 | Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An | idea which you share, you must have. It awakens in you through the |
| Tx:7.28 | of their brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the | idea of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate |
| Tx:7.28 | minds. Do not underestimate your need to be vigilant against this | idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the belief that |
| Tx:7.45 | Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the | idea of exceptions seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful, |
| Tx:7.63 | cannot coexist in peace and if you want peace, you must give up the | idea of conflict entirely and for all time. [This requires vigilance |
| Tx:7.85 | value is severely limited by his confusion. A second fallacy is the | idea that you can get rid of something you do not want by giving it |
| Tx:7.90 | against the belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the | idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the |
| Tx:7.101 | about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the whole | idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up |
| Tx:8.53 | can get you something you want. If you did not believe this, the | idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself |
| Tx:9.15 | ego believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no | idea what they are. This is more than mere confusion. It is a |
| Tx:9.15 | It is totally unpredictable in its responses, because it has no | idea of what it perceives. |
| Tx:9.16 | If one has no | idea of what is happening, how appropriately can you expect him to |
| Tx:9.20 | he is more likely to start with the equally incredible | idea that he really believes in attack and so does the patient, but |
| Tx:9.95 | because, having made him out of your insanity, he is an insane | idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem like many different |
| Tx:9.95 | but although he may seem like many different things he is but one | idea—the denial of God. |
| Tx:10.44 | Every | idea has a purpose, and its purpose is always the natural extension |
| Tx:10.49 | foundation by this awareness. For though you may countenance a false | idea of independence, you will not accept the cost of fear if you |
| Tx:11.43 | strong do not attack because they see no need to do so. Before the | idea of attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived yourself |
| Tx:11.94 | look upon him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the | idea of guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, |
| Tx:12.2 | concealing it. You do experience guilt feelings, but you have no | idea why. On the contrary, you associate them with a weird assortment |
| Tx:12.2 | of ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no | idea that you are failing the Son of God by seeing him as guilty. |
| Tx:12.3 | him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane | idea lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense |
| Tx:13.15 | Would you, then, teach him that he is right in his delusion? The | idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and make |
| Tx:13.30 | from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no | idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother can see himself |
| Tx:15.59 | yours. That is because you recognize, however dimly, that God is an | idea, and so your faith in Him is strengthened by sharing. What you |
| Tx:15.59 | difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an | idea. And like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without |
| Tx:15.60 | that perfect love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the | idea of love in you and unite this idea with the mind that thought it |
| Tx:15.60 | holy instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this | idea with the mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By |
| Tx:15.63 | It is through us that peace will come. Join me in the | idea of peace, for in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give |
| Tx:15.63 | and its conditions are in the mind with it. If you were not only an | idea and nothing else, you could not be in full communication with |
| Tx:15.70 | or another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on the | idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes bigger. The “sacrifice,” |
| Tx:15.90 | conception of the limits you have placed on your perception and no | idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But this you must |
| Tx:15.95 | the same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the same | idea. What is not love is always fear and nothing else. It is not |
| Tx:15.95 | them not as separate but as different manifestations of the same | idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply |
| Tx:15.95 | of the same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The | idea is simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to |
| Tx:15.96 | —sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one | idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea |
| Tx:15.96 | one idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the | idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you |
| Tx:15.98 | Each form will be recognized as but a cover for the one | idea that hides behind them all—that love demands sacrifice and is |
| Tx:15.98 | in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the | idea of being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves |
| Tx:15.101 | Fear not to recognize the whole | idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by |
| Tx:15.102 | of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole | idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you |
| Tx:16.13 | mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one | idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one |
| Tx:16.47 | the self, for nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its | idea of Heaven. From this it follows that union, which is a condition |
| Tx:17.5 | are unreal and thus enable you to escape from them. Reserve not one | idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of reality which must |
| Tx:17.36 | acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are truth accept an | idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And |
| Tx:17.59 | be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the past, but you have no | idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to bring the |
| Tx:17.65 | be in conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is impossible. Some | idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot attack. |
| Tx:17.70 | far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have no | idea how great the strength that goes with you. And you can use this |
| Tx:18.6 | drawn between you and the truth. For truth extends inward, where the | idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you |
| Tx:18.19 | They are your protest against reality and your fixed and insane | idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the special |
| Tx:18.39 | must be more that you need do. [You find it difficult to accept the | idea that you need give so little to receive so much.] And it is very |
| Tx:18.60 | anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and even a general | idea without specific reference. Yet in every case, you joined it |
| Tx:18.71 | you. Can you who see yourselves within a body know yourself as an | idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something |
| Tx:18.72 | body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete | idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very little |
| Tx:18.76 | whole be whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an | idea of separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it, |
| Tx:19.8 | where separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an | idea is never separate from its source. The idea of separation |
| Tx:19.8 | healed. The result of an idea is never separate from its source. The | idea of separation produced the body and remains connected to it, |
| Tx:19.16 | lord of 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 |
| Tx:19.18 | Sin is not an error, for sin entails an arrogance which the | idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate reality and to |
| Tx:19.19 | is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole | idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is death, and how |
| Tx:19.21 | to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The | idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite |
| Tx:19.22 | seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an | idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules, made up of |
| Tx:19.23 | in all the ego's embattled citadel more heavily defended than the | idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the Son of God |
| Tx:19.25 | guilt remains attractive the mind will suffer and not let go of the | idea of sin. For guilt still calls to it, and the mind hears it and |
| Tx:19.25 | it, making itself a willing captive to its sick appeal. Sin is an | idea of evil that cannot be corrected and will be forever desirable. |
| Tx:19.61 | of the perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the | idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far |
| Tx:19.68 | Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole | idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead, without |
| Tx:19.72 | becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the | idea that pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the |
| Tx:19.72 | it dutifully and obeying the idea that pain is pleasure. It is this | idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the body. |
| Tx:19.79 | ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We know that an | idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of the thought we |
| Tx:19.82 | nor incorruptible. It is nothing. It is the result of a tiny mad | idea of corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this |
| Tx:19.82 | corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this insane | idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings |
| Tx:19.88 | mean everything or nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the | idea which they reflect. Confronted with such seeming uncertainty of |
| Tx:20.52 | to be what it is not. No more than that. The instant that the mad | idea of making your relationship with God unholy seemed to be |
| Tx:20.52 | that unholy instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad | idea and give it the illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a |
| Tx:20.52 | a little while in time and vanished. For what could house this mad | idea against reality but for an instant? |
| Tx:21.20 | exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an | idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of God |
| Tx:21.21 | leave himself without what God has willed for him. This is the mad | idea you have enshrined upon your altars and which you worship. And |
| Tx:21.30 | If you accept this change, you have accepted the | idea of making room for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may |
| Tx:21.52 | You do not realize the whole extent to which the | idea of separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the |
| Tx:22.6 | description earlier, but it was not of you. And yet this strange | idea, which it does accurately describe, you think is you. Reason |
| Tx:22.20 | reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an | idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea |
| Tx:22.20 | an idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the | idea is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt |
| Tx:22.24 | is the same belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless | idea that thoughts can leave the thinker's mind, be different from |
| Tx:22.34 | These eyes, made not to see, will never see. For the | idea they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that |
| Tx:22.52 | contradictory and so impossible that anyone who chooses this has no | idea of what is valuable. Yet even in this confusion, so profound it |
| Tx:23.43 | Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the | idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of salvation's |
| Tx:23.47 | illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the | idea of love because it seems to be of equal truth. |
| Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the | idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this |
| Tx:24.71 | to His love and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the | idea that made it and speak for its reality and truth. |
| Tx:25.61 | Salvation is rebirth of the | idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And everyone must gain if |
| Tx:25.63 | to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to add to the | idea no one can lose for you to gain. And nothing more. |
| Tx:25.67 | where would justice be if He demanded of the ones obsessed with the | idea of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and perceive it is |
| Tx:26.1 | In the “dynamics” of attack is sacrifice a key | idea. It is the pivot upon which all compromise, all desperate |
| Tx:26.11 | to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the whole | idea that loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If |
| Tx:26.47 | the separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the | idea which brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. |
| Tx:26.60 | ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each | idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes away. |
| Tx:26.61 | A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the whole | idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son |
| Tx:26.73 | is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really sense in this | idea. |
| Tx:26.87 | be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but another form of the | idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection of the |
| Tx:27.25 | because that is its purpose, being what it really is. From an | idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of function split |
| Tx:27.29 | the concept which it attacks. And by this does it join to the | idea a something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can |
| Tx:27.82 | done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad | idea at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his |
| Tx:27.82 | not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious | idea and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. Together, |
| Tx:29.17 | can not be sick. In your demand that it be more than this lies the | idea of sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He really is. |
| Tx:29.28 | It does not matter if they be fulfilled or merely wanted. It is the | idea that they exist from which the fears arise. Dreams are not |
| Tx:29.29 | to every figure which the dream contains. No one can fail but your | idea of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams |
| Tx:29.54 | leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form apart from the | idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and |
| Tx:29.57 | This is the anti-Christ—the strange | idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, |
| Tx:29.57 | the eternal. Here the world of idols has been set by the | idea this power and place and time are given form and shape the world |
| Tx:30.40 | incomplete. Only if you had sinned could this be so. For sin is the | idea you are alone and separated off from what is whole. And thus it |
| Tx:30.86 | who loses. There could be no thought of sacrifice apart from this | idea. And it is this idea of different goals which makes perception |
| Tx:30.86 | be no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this | idea of different goals which makes perception shift and meaning |
| W1:I.4 | you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one central | idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as |
| W1:I.4 | central idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that | idea to as many specifics as possible. Be sure that you do not decide |
| W1:I.4 | you do not decide that there are some things you see to which the | idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises will |
| W1:I.4 | of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the | idea to everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that |
| W1:I.4 | effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in applying the | idea. |
| W1:1.1 | Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this | idea very specifically to whatever you see: |
| W1:1.3 | Then look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the | idea to a wider range: |
| W1:1.5 | is merely applied to anything you see. As you practice applying the | idea for the day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to |
| W1:1.5 | excluded. One thing is like another as far as the application of the | idea is concerned. |
| W1:2.1 | The exercises with this | idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things |
| W1:2.1 | first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the | idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range |
| W1:2.1 | whatever is to either side. If possible, turn around and apply the | idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as possible in |
| W1:2.2 | or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the | idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no |
| W1:3.1 | Apply this | idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making |
| W1:3.1 | any kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the | idea. Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything |
| W1:3.1 | not question the suitability of anything for the application of the | idea. These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if |
| W1:3.2 | mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the | idea for the day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like |
| W1:4.1 | Unlike the preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the | idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the |
| W1:4.1 | that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply the | idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them |
| W1:4.1 | are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them as subjects for the | idea. Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” |
| W1:4.2 | In selecting the subjects for the application of today's | idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use |
| W1:4.3 | and what is different. In using your thoughts for application of the | idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or event |
| W1:4.5 | You can also use the | idea for a particular thought which you recognize as harmful. This |
| W1:5.1 | This | idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation, |
| W1:5.1 | a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the same | idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately |
| W1:5.2 | When using the | idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any |
| W1:5.8 | You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's | idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If this |
| W1:5.10 | regardless of the relative importance you may give them. Apply the | idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of |
| W1:6.1 | The exercises with this | idea are very similar to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary |
| W1:6.1 | the perceived source very specifically for any application of the | idea. For example: |
| W1:6.3 | Today's | idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you |
| W1:6.3 | or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the | idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search. |
| W1:6.4 | Again, if you resist applying the | idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself |
| W1:7.1 | This | idea is particularly difficult to believe at first. Yet it is the |
| W1:7.8 | 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. Look at a |
| W1:7.9 | this cup except what you learned in the past? You would have no | idea what this cup is except for your past learning. Do you, then, |
| W1:7.10 | true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the | idea for today indiscriminately to whatever catches your eye. For |
| W1:8.1 | This | idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one |
| W1:8.10 | however, to include your irritation, or any emotion which the | idea for today may induce in the mind searching itself. |
| W1:9.1 | This | idea obviously follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may |
| W1:9.2 | believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not there. This | idea can be quite disturbing and may meet with active resistance in |
| W1:9.3 | periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and applying the | idea for the day to whatever you see, remembering the need for its |
| W1:10.1 | This | idea applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware or become |
| W1:10.1 | are aware or become aware in the practice periods. The reason the | idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real |
| 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 |
| W1:10.2 | kind of idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the | idea is introduced with “My thoughts” instead of “These thoughts” and |
| W1:10.3 | This aspect of the correction process began with the | idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, |
| W1:10.4 | your eyes for these exercises and introduce them by repeating the | idea for today quite slowly to yourself. Then add: |
| W1:10.5 | This | idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
| W1:10.8 | Today's | idea can obviously serve for any thought that distresses you at any |
| W1:10.8 | less if you experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the | idea slowly before applying it specifically, and also to add: |
| W1:10.9 | This | idea will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
| W1:11.1 | This is the first | idea we have had which is related to a major phase of the correction |
| W1:11.1 | It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today's | idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world |
| W1:11.1 | thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the | idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release made |
| W1:11.1 | glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial form, for in this | idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it. |
| W1:11.2 | The practice periods for today's | idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the previous |
| W1:11.2 | from the previous ones. Begin with eyes closed, and repeat the | idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about, near or |
| W1:11.2 | or down—anywhere. During the minute or so to be spent in using the | idea, merely repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste |
| W1:11.3 | in an unhurried, even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this | idea should be practiced as casually as possible. It contains the |
| W1:11.3 | achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the | idea once more, slowly, to yourself. |
| W1:12.1 | The importance of this | idea lies in the fact that it contains a correction for a major |
| W1:12.6 | that you do not alter the time intervals between applying today's | idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant. |
| W1:12.9 | Three or four times are enough for practicing the | idea for today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You |
| W1:13.1 | Today's | idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that it is |
| W1:13.4 | way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat today's | idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you slowly, |
| W1:14.1 | The | idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is |
| W1:14.2 | at most. Do not have more than three practice periods with today's | idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because |
| W1:14.3 | The | idea for today is another step in learning to let go the thoughts |
| W1:14.6 | Suitable subjects for the application of today's | idea also include anything you are afraid might happen to you or to |
| W1:14.7 | of this fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating today's | idea: |
| W1:14.9 | The | idea for today can, of course, be applied to anything that disturbs |
| W1:15.2 | This introductory | idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing will not |
| W1:15.4 | In practicing the | idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to |
| W1:15.6 | a large number of specific subjects for the application of today's | idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each subject |
| W1:15.6 | however, to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the | idea to yourself. The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time. |
| W1:15.6 | to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The | idea should be repeated quite slowly each time. |
| W1:15.7 | Although you will obviously not be able to apply the | idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is |
| W1:15.7 | uneasy. Do not have more than three application periods for today's | idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do not |
| W1:15.7 | completely comfortable with it, and do not exceed four. However, the | idea can be applied as needed throughout the day. |
| W1:16.1 | The | idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your |
| W1:16.3 | all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will practice this | idea in many forms before you really understand it. |
| W1:16.4 | In applying the | idea for today, search your mind for a minute or so, with eyes |
| W1:16.4 | which you assign to it, is a suitable subject for applying today's | idea. |
| W1:16.5 | In the practice periods, first repeat the | idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold it in awareness |
| W1:16.7 | As usual, use today's | idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which arouses |
| W1:17.1 | This | idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect |
| W1:17.2 | In applying today's | idea, say to yourself, with eyes open: |
| W1:18.1 | The | idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which |
| W1:18.1 | you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the | idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress |
| W1:18.2 | Today's | idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see it. |
| W1:18.3 | Selecting subjects for the application of the | idea randomly, look at each one long enough to say: |
| W1:19.1 | The | idea for today is obviously the reason why your seeing does not |
| W1:19.2 | the 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 |
| W1:19.2 | are no private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this | idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is |
| W1:19.3 | today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The | idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should be carefully |
| W1:19.6 | Apart from the “as needed” application of today's | idea, at least three practice periods are required, shortening the |
| W1:20.4 | yourselves throughout the day that you want to see. Today's | idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now. |
| W1:20.4 | recognition that you do not see now. Therefore, as you repeat the | idea, you are stating that you are determined to change your present |
| W1:20.5 | Repeat today's | idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting |
| W1:21.1 | The | idea for today is obviously a continuation and extension of the |
| W1:21.1 | mind searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the | idea to particular situations as they arise. Five practice periods |
| W1:21.2 | In the practice periods, begin by repeating the | idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully |
| W1:22.1 | Today's | idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in |
| W1:23.1 | The | idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever |
| W1:23.5 | The | idea for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the |
| W1:23.6 | need arises, five practice periods are required in applying today's | idea. As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and |
| W1:23.6 | required in applying today's idea. As you look about you, repeat the | idea slowly to yourself and then close your eyes and devote about a |
| W1:24.2 | conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot learn. The | idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that learning |
| W1:24.4 | The practice periods begin with repeating today's | idea, followed by searching the mind with closed eyes for unresolved |
| W1:25.1 | Purpose is meaning. Today's | idea explains why nothing you see means anything. You do not know |
| W1:25.5 | rather than “good” or “bad,” is the only way to accomplish this. The | idea for today is a step in this direction. |
| W1:25.6 | Each practice period should begin with a slow repetition of the | idea for today followed by looking about you and letting your glance |
| W1:25.8 | the statement. Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's | idea as before. |
| W1:26.3 | The | idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack |
| W1:26.4 | Practice with today's | idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or |
| W1:26.5 | Six practice periods are required in applying today's | idea. A full two minutes should be attempted for each of them, |
| W1:26.6 | The practice period should begin with repeating the | idea for today, then closing your eyes and reviewing the unresolved |
| W1:26.6 | a longer time than usual should be spent with each one. Today's | idea should be applied as follows: |
| W1:26.15 | Conclude each practice period by repeating today's | idea once more. |
| W1:27.1 | Today's | idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives |
| W1:27.1 | priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using the | idea on the ground that you are not sure you really mean it. This |
| W1:27.1 | The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the | idea will be wholly true a little nearer. |
| W1:27.6 | The | idea for today needs many repetitions for maximum benefit. It should |
| W1:27.6 | is recommended that you set a definite time interval for using the | idea when you wake or shortly afterwards and attempt to adhere to it |
| W1:27.7 | is how often will you remember? How much do you want today's | idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered |
| W1:27.7 | that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating today's | idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years of |
| W1:28.1 | Today we are really giving specific application to the | idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you will be making a |
| W1:28.6 | In using the table as a subject for applying the | idea for today, you are therefore really asking to see the purpose of |
| W1:28.7 | We will have six two minute practice periods today in which the | idea for the day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see |
| W1:28.7 | randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as today's | idea is applied to it in an attempt to acknowledge the equal value of |
| W1:29.1 | The | idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in anything. It |
| W1:29.1 | why nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every | idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's |
| W1:29.1 | idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's | idea is the whole basis for vision. |
| W1:29.2 | You will probably find this | idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it silly, |
| W1:29.3 | the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's | idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could ever have |
| W1:29.4 | today should follow a now familiar pattern: begin with repeating the | idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen subjects about |
| W1:29.4 | which may be particularly tempting in connection with today's | idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you |
| W1:29.7 | In addition to the assigned practice periods, repeat the | idea for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you |
| W1:30.1 | The | idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the |
| W1:30.1 | The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this | idea will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and |
| W1:30.3 | Today's | idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the day. |
| W1:30.3 | to yourself slowly, looking about you and trying to realize that the | idea applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were |
| W1:30.4 | such as “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this | idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as well as |
| W1:30.4 | range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's | idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it |
| W1:30.5 | To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this | idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's |
| W1:30.5 | idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's | idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and |
| W1:30.5 | come to mind and looking within rather than without. Today's | idea applies equally to both. |
| W1:31.1 | Today's | idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the |
| W1:31.1 | idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the | idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the |
| W1:31.1 | world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the | idea, we will use a form of practice which will be used more and |
| W1:31.1 | speaking, the form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the | idea on a more sustained basis, and the other consisting of frequent |
| W1:31.1 | basis, and the other consisting of frequent applications of the | idea throughout the day. |
| W1:31.2 | Two longer periods of practice with the | idea for today are needed, one in the morning and one at night. Three |
| W1:31.2 | During that time, look about you slowly while repeating the | idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea |
| W1:31.2 | the idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same | idea to your inner world. You will escape from both together, for the |
| W1:31.3 | part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's | idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry. |
| W1:31.4 | In addition, repeat the | idea for today as often as possible during the day. Remind yourself |
| W1:31.5 | The | idea for today is a particularly useful one to use as a response to |
| W1:32.2 | The | idea for today, like the preceding ones, applies to your inner and |
| W1:32.3 | the practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the | idea for today two or three times while looking around at the world |
| W1:32.3 | world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the | idea for today unhurriedly as often as you wish as you watch the |
| W1:32.5 | often as possible. The shorter applications consist of repeating the | idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer world. It does |
| W1:32.6 | The | idea for today should also be applied immediately to any situation |
| W1:32.6 | immediately to any situation which may distress you. Apply the | idea by telling yourself: |
| W1:33.1 | Today's | idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of |
| W1:33.2 | In these practice periods, the | idea should be repeated as often as you find profitable, though |
| W1:33.2 | uninvolved in both and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the | idea throughout the day. |
| W1:33.3 | should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of today's | idea should also be made immediately when any situation arises which |
| W1:33.5 | Remember to apply today's | idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to |
| W1:33.5 | be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the | idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help |
| W1:34.1 | The | idea for today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the |
| W1:34.2 | closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of today's | idea should be made. |
| W1:34.3 | harboring unloving thoughts. Note them all casually, repeating the | idea for today slowly as you watch them arise in your mind, and let |
| W1:34.4 | difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat the | idea to yourself in an unhurried manner, without applying it to |
| W1:34.7 | adverse emotions, such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the | idea in its original form. If you find you need more than one |
| W1:34.7 | form. If you find you need more than one application of today's | idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to |
| W1:34.7 | try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the | idea until you feel some sense of relief. It will help you if you |
| W1:35.1 | Today's | idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does, |
| W1:35.3 | The | idea for today presents a very different view of yourself. By |
| W1:35.3 | We will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's | idea because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver rather than |
| W1:35.4 | three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating today's | idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your mind for |
| W1:35.6 | A suitable unselected list for applying the | idea for today might be as follows: |
| W1:35.8 | your reactions to that situation, and use them in applying today's | idea. After you have named each one, add: |
| W1:35.10 | things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's | idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although nothing that does |
| W1:35.11 | attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the | idea for today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the form |
| W1:35.11 | at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding the | idea to each of them in the form stated above. If nothing particular |
| W1:35.11 | stated above. If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat the | idea to yourself with closed eyes. |
| W1:36.1 | Today's | idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the |
| W1:36.1 | Today's idea extends the | idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived. You are holy |
| W1:36.3 | First, close your eyes and repeat the | idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look |
| W1:36.3 | Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the | idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, |
| W1:36.5 | times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the | idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as before. |
| W1:36.6 | For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the | idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one |
| W1:37.1 | This | idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the |
| W1:37.2 | There is no other way in which the | idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other |
| W1:37.2 | As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor will he have any | idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness |
| W1:37.4 | three to five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the | idea for today followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you |
| W1:37.4 | followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the | idea to whatever you see: |
| W1:37.6 | Then close your eyes and apply the | idea to any person who occurs to you, using his name and saying: |
| W1:37.8 | with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the | idea for today to your outer world if you so desire; you may |
| W1:37.8 | outer world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the | idea to what you see around you and to those who are in your |
| W1:37.8 | prefer. The practice period should conclude with a repetition of the | idea with your eyes closed and another following immediately with |
| W1:37.9 | The shorter exercises consist of repeating the | idea as often as you can. It is particularly helpful to apply it |
| W1:37.9 | you meet, using his name as you do so. It is essential to use the | idea if anyone seems to cause an adverse reaction in you. Offer him |
| W1:38.4 | periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat the | idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any |
| W1:38.4 | 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 |
| W1:39.6 | Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating today's | idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving |
| W1:39.8 | every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the | idea for today to each one of them in this way: |
| W1:39.10 | with several short periods during which you merely repeat today's | idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to |
| W1:39.11 | periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the | idea itself in varying the method of applying it. However you elect |
| W1:39.11 | varying the method of applying it. However you elect to use it, the | idea should be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness |
| W1:39.12 | End each practice period by repeating the | idea in its original form once more, and adding: |
| W1:39.14 | more if possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat today's | idea, or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly |
| W1:39.14 | both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful form of the | idea is: |
| W1:40.3 | Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today's | idea, and then add several of the attributes which you associate with |
| W1:41.1 | Today's | idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and |
| W1:41.2 | The | idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And |
| W1:41.5 | eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's | idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try |
| 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 |
| W1:41.8 | Throughout the day, use today's | idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes closed. |
| W1:42.1 | The | idea for today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major |
| W1:42.4 | Begin the practice period by repeating the | idea for today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close |
| W1:42.4 | eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the | idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except |
| W1:42.4 | of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's | idea. You might think, for example: |
| W1:42.7 | Any thought that is clearly related to the | idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be astonished at the amount of |
| W1:42.7 | once more while looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat the | idea once more, and then continue to look for related thoughts in |
| W1:42.8 | the practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the | idea with eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to |
| W1:42.9 | number of short practice periods which would be most beneficial. The | idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together |
| W1:42.10 | The more often you repeat the | idea during the day, the more often you will be reminding yourself |
| W1:43.5 | At the beginning of these practice periods, repeat the | idea to yourself with eyes open. Then glance around you for a short |
| W1:43.5 | eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time, applying the | idea specifically to what you see. Four or five subjects for this |
| W1:43.8 | longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's | idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add |
| W1:43.8 | and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the | idea in your own personal way. Thoughts such as: |
| W1:43.10 | Or any thought related more or less directly to today's | idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship |
| W1:43.10 | suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the | idea, but they should not be in opposition to it. |
| W1:43.11 | to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's | idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your |
| W1:43.12 | In applying today's | idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary according to |
| W1:43.15 | The | idea should also be applied throughout the day to various situations |
| W1:43.17 | subject presents itself to your awareness, merely repeat the | idea in its original form. |
| W1:43.18 | to allow long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's | idea and thus remembering your function. |
| W1:44.1 | Today we are continuing with the | idea for yesterday, adding another dimension to it. You cannot see in |
| W1:44.7 | Begin the practice period by repeating today's | idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the idea |
| W1:44.7 | idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the | idea several times more. Then try to sink into your mind, letting go |
| W1:44.9 | If resistance rises in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's | idea, keeping your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that |
| W1:44.11 | Throughout the day, repeat the | idea often with eyes open or closed as seems better to you at the |
| W1:45.1 | Today's | idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing |
| W1:45.4 | will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's | idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We |
| W1:45.6 | Begin the exercises for today by repeating the | idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly |
| W1:45.6 | period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the | idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five |
| W1:45.6 | you have added some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the | idea again, and tell yourself gently: |
| W1:45.12 | In using the shorter form for applying today's | idea, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the |
| W1:45.12 | mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the | idea throughout the day to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand |
| W1:46.3 | as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's | idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a |
| W1:46.6 | in the best position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the | idea for today to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself, |
| W1:46.10 | The form of the applications may vary considerably, but the central | idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example: |
| W1:46.12 | The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's | idea as originally stated. |
| W1:46.13 | The shorter applications may consist either of a repetition of the | idea for today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be |
| W1:47.4 | are urged. Close your eyes and begin as usual by repeating today's | idea. Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations in your |
| W1:47.9 | Repeat the | idea for today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. |
| W1:48.1 | The | idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who |
| W1:48.2 | be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the | idea as often as possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any |
| W1:48.2 | a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the | idea slowly to yourself several times. It is particularly important |
| W1:48.2 | several times. It is particularly important that you use the | idea immediately should anything disturb your peace of mind. |
| W1:49.5 | Do not forget to repeat today's | idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but |
| W1:49.5 | when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the | idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the |
| W1:50.4 | For ten minutes twice today, morning and evening, let the | idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think |
| W1:R1.2 | two minutes or more to each practice period, thinking about the | idea and the related comments. Do this as often as possible during |
| W1:R1.3 | It is not necessary to cover the comments that follow each | idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, try |

| W1:61.3 | True humility requires that you accept today's | idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is true. This is a |
| W1:61.4 | You will want to think about this | idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all |
| W1:61.7 | permits. Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat the | idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the central thought. |
| W1:61.9 | Today's | idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what |
| W1:62.4 | Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today's | idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It |
| W1:62.8 | that they are true. Should your attention wander, repeat the | idea and add: |
| W1:63.5 | an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing today's | idea. |

| W1:65.5 | For this longer practice period, begin by reviewing the | idea for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself |
| W1:65.5 | by reviewing the idea for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the | idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch |
| W1:65.6 | make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the | idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises which |
| W1:65.11 | Finally, repeat the | idea for today once more and devote the rest of the practice period |
| W1:65.12 | undertaken at least once an hour, use this form in applying today's | idea: |
| W1:65.14 | you see now that will be totally changed when you accept today's | idea completely. |
| W1:66.13 | Today's | idea is another giant stride in the perception of the same as the |
| W1:67.1 | Today's | idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is |
| W1:67.6 | You may find it necessary to repeat the | idea for today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You |
| W1:67.7 | It will be particularly helpful today to practice the | idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about |
| W1:68.11 | short practice periods should include a quick application of today's | idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against |
| W1:68.13 | In addition, repeat the | idea several times an hour in this form: |
| W1:69.9 | want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's | idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances |
| W1:70.1 | more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the | idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from |
| W1:70.2 | The seeming “cost” of accepting today's | idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you; |
| W1:70.3 | Today's | idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong because |
| W1:70.6 | to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the | idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want us to |
| W1:70.8 | Begin these practice periods by repeating the | idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that |
| W1:71.7 | How can you escape all this? Very simply. The | idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will |
| W1:71.9 | the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's | idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making equal |
| W1:71.13 | hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of today's | idea: |
| W1:71.15 | Try to remember the | idea for today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no |
| W1:73.17 | times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply today's | idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of |
| W1:74.1 | The | idea for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which |
| W1:74.1 | that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the strange | idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the |
| W1:74.2 | There is great peace in today's | idea. And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it. |
| W1:74.2 | And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it. The | idea itself is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to |
| W1:74.12 | If you feel yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the | idea for today and try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is |
| W1:76.2 | could, you would forever seek where it is not and never find it. The | idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for |
| W1:76.12 | Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's | idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but |
| W1:80.6 | often today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the | idea with deep conviction as frequently as possible. And be |
| W1:80.6 | as possible. And be particularly sure to remember to apply the | idea for today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly: |
| W1:R2.2 | about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the | idea and the comments which are included in the assignments. Devote |
| W1:R2.5 | the shorter practice periods as well, using the original form of the | idea for general application and a more specific form when needed. |
| W1:81.3 | Some specific forms for applying today's | idea when specific difficulties seem to arise might be: |

| W1:91.1 | This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central | idea in your new thought system and the perception which it produces. |
| W1:91.2 | is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the | idea of light meaningless. |
| W1:91.14 | are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's | idea. This form would be helpful for this special purpose: |
| W1:92.1 | The | idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think |
| W1:92.1 | of strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your | idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its eyes and |
| W1:92.2 | understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane | idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun |
| W1:92.11 | meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the | idea for today and recognize that we are being introduced to sight |
| W1:93.17 | you can do much today to bring the conviction to your mind that the | idea for the day is true indeed. |
| W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one | idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes |
| W1:94.1 | that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one | idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored. |
| W1:95.1 | Today's | idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within |
| W1:95.4 | of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the | idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in |
| W1:95.5 | of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the | idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using it |
| W1:95.9 | and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's | idea. |
| W1:95.20 | Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's | idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you do so, |
| W1:95.20 | To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's | idea and tell him this: |
| W1:97.1 | Today's | idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split identity, |
| W1:98.7 | five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today's | idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words will |
| W1:98.7 | His words will join with yours and make each repetition of today's | idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His |
| W1:98.12 | the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today's | idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it |
| W1:99.9 | You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the | idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for |
| W1:100.8 | Begin the exercises with the thought today's | idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is |
| W1:100.11 | Do not forget the | idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self |
| W1:101.1 | Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key | idea in understanding what salvation means. You still believe it asks |
| W1:101.6 | thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's | idea. God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no |
| W1:101.10 | escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's | idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the |
| W1:104.1 | Today's | idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not but idle |
| W1:108.1 | Vision depends upon today's | idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming opposites. |
| W1:110.1 | We will repeat today's | idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save |
| W1:110.2 | evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's | idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your |
| W1:110.5 | The healing power of today's | idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great |
| W1:110.5 | of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today's | idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. |
| W1:121.6 | It is not inherent in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an | idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, |
| W1:126.1 | Today's | idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is |
| W1:126.2 | Let us consider what you do believe in place of this | idea. It seems to you that other people are apart from you and able |
| W1:126.8 | if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the | idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the world. |
| W1:126.9 | Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand today's | idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place |
| W1:126.10 | where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's | idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be |
| W1:129.1 | from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the | idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is |
| W1:131.4 | world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an | idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new—an echo of a heritage |
| W1:132.9 | Today's | idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed |
| W1:132.10 | be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for today's | idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you can |
| W1:132.14 | and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which comes from this | idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the |
| W1:134.3 | illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the | idea of sin retains as yet upon your mind as you regard yourself. |
| W1:135.16 | and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the | idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future |
| W1:137.1 | Today's | idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests. For |
| W1:139.6 | Atonement remedies the strange | idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you |
| W1:R4.7 | with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each | idea you will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. |
| W1:R4.10 | God has given it as it was given to you through His Voice. Let each | idea that you review that day give you the gift which He has laid in |
| W1:153.4 | the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that you have no | idea of all the devastation it has wrought. You are its slave. You |
| W1:156.1 | Today's | idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin |
| W1:157.4 | what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's | idea to light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in |
| W1:158.7 | for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an | idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful |
| W1:160.2 | There is a stranger in our midst who comes from an | idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks |
| W1:161.1 | Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice today's | idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail to |
| W1:161.16 | Today's | idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be sure you use it |
| W1:163.7 | The | idea of the death of God is so preposterous that even the insane have |
| W1:167.2 | is life's opposite. You call it death. Yet we have learned that the | idea of death takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies |
| W1:167.2 | have learned that the idea of death takes many forms. It is the one | idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. It is |
| W1:167.3 | You think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an | idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A thought is in the |
| W1:167.3 | leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on that | idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your mind |
| W1:169.5 | Oneness is simply the | idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind |
| W1:170.2 | How thoroughly insane is the | idea that to defend from fear is to attack! For here is fear begot |
| W1:170.5 | on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the | idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For |
| W1:183.7 | No other words we use except at the beginning, when we say today's | idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only |
| W1:183.9 | His Name. Sit silently, and let His Name become the all-encompassing | idea which holds your mind completely. Let all thoughts be still |
| W1:186.2 | Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not our | idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly |
| W1:186.3 | Today's | idea may seem quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says |
| W1:187.3 | see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the | idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that |
| W1:187.6 | but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the | idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which |
| W1:187.6 | starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one | idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they |
| W1:187.7 | to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an | idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once. |
| W1:191.5 | But let today's | idea find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above |
| W1:194.1 | Today's | idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant stride it |
| W1:194.2 | Accept today's | idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all |
| W1:194.2 | of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept today's | idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by |
| W1:196.2 | and with all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the | idea we practice for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that |
| W1:196.3 | you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within today's | idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of |
| W1:196.4 | Today's | idea is one step we take in leading us from bondage to the state of |
| W1:196.9 | Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the | idea we practice for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did |
| W1:196.12 | between you and the holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the | idea we practice! Give it welcome, as you should, for it is your |
| W1:199.3 | essential for your progress in this course that you accept today's | idea and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is |
| W1:199.5 | Cherish today's | idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every |
| W1:199.5 | you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this | idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you |
| W1:R6.1 | For this review, we take but one | idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the |
| W1:R6.1 | and the hourly remembrances we make throughout the day, use the | idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas alone |
| W1:R6.7 | which you denied be given up in sure and quick exchange for the | idea we practice for the day. |
| W1:R6.10 | And then repeat the | idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. |
| W1:R6.10 | of what you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's | idea, we will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to |
| W1:210.1 | [190] I choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my own | idea. It is not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him |
| W2:WF.1 | in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false | idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and |
| W2:300.1 | before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the | idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold nor represent |
| W2:325.1 | What I see reflects a process in my mind which starts with my | idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the |
| M:2.2 | apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The instant the | idea of separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that same |
| M:2.3 | and long ago passed by is looked upon as a new thought, a fresh | idea, a different approach. Because your will is free, you can accept |

| M:5.7 | With this idea is pain forever gone. But with this | idea goes also all confusion about creation. Does not this follow of |
| M:5.7 | generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one true | idea has no end nor limit. The final outcome of this lesson is the |
| M:5.8 | point. The body tells them what to do, and they obey. They have no | idea how insane this concept is. If they even suspected it, they |
| M:8.1 | from another with less intensity of appeal. And a more threatening | idea or one conceived of as more desirable by the world's standards |
| M:13.5 | as pain. And no one asks for pain if he recognizes it. It is the | idea of sacrifice that makes him blind. He does not see what he is |
| M:22.1 | of a wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless | idea, just as special areas of hell in Heaven is inconceivable. |
| M:22.3 | to be understood if the teacher of God is to make progress. The | idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's |
| M:22.3 | gives the body autonomy, separates it from the mind, and keeps the | idea of attack inviolate. If the body could be sick, Atonement would |
| M:22.4 | actually believe he wants to be sick. Perhaps he can accept the | idea in theory, but it is rarely, if ever, consistently applied to |
| M:24.1 | reincarnation is impossible. There is no past nor future, and the | idea of birth into a body has no meaning either once or many times. |

| M:24.2 | past. There is always some good in any thought which strengthens the | idea that life and the body are not the same. |
| M:24.5 | this much is not required of the beginner. He need merely accept the | idea that what he knows is not necessarily all there is to learn. His |
| M:27.3 | is the symbol of the fear of God. His love is blotted out in the | idea, which holds it from awareness like a shield held to obscure the |
| M:27.6 | “And the last to be overcome will be death.” Of course! Without the | idea of death, there is no world. All dreams will end with this one. |

| Tx:19.84 | ego's secrets, all its strange devices for deception, all its sick | ideas and weird imaginings. Here is the final end of union, the |
| Tx:24.66 | keeps what He created safe. You cannot touch it with the false | ideas you made because it was created not by you. Let not your |
| Tx:25.10 | all learning to transfer illusions to the truth, taking all false | ideas of what you are and leading you beyond them to the truth that |
| Tx:26.49 | a part of it. For it is real and dwells where all reality must be. | Ideas leave not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart |
| Tx:26.49 | not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart from them. | Ideas are of the mind. What is projected out and seems to be external |
| Tx:26.59 | the mind where the belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that | ideas can leave their source made real and meaningful. And from this |
| Tx:26.60 | He created you as part of Him, and this must still be true because | ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each idea |
| Tx:26.60 | to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not. And to believe | ideas can leave their source is to invite illusions to be true, |
| Tx:27.29 | opposition would weaken it, and weakened power is a contradiction in | ideas. Weak strength is meaningless, and power used to weaken is |
| Tx:27.30 | are gone. And now he stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent | ideas that cannot be must stand for empty space and nothingness. Yet |
| Tx:27.81 | conceived this world as real. He would have seen at once that these | ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed |
| Tx:28.7 | here. They will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new | ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient |
| Tx:30.1 | and out of pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they are more | ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice |
| Tx:30.39 | because what shares in all creation cannot be content with small | ideas and little things. |
| Tx:30.49 | They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack but false | ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you made |
| Tx:30.49 | but false ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the false | ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and |
| Tx:30.86 | everything as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the end of all | ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different purpose for the one |
| Tx:31.12 | things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own | ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image held |
| Tx:31.24 | An instant spent without your old | ideas of who your great companion is and what he should be asking for |

| W1:I.5 | the ideas the exercises contain. Whatever your reactions to the | ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than this is required. |
| W1:7.8 | Old | ideas about time are very difficult to change because everything you |
| W1:7.8 | believe is rooted in time and depends on your not learning these new | ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new ideas about |
| W1:7.8 | these new ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new | ideas about time. This first time idea is not really so strange as it |

| W1:28.3 | you are making a commitment to withdraw your preconceived | ideas about the table and open your mind to what it is and what it is |
| W1:28.5 | gain vision from just that table if you could withdraw all your own | ideas from it and look upon it with a completely open mind. It has |
| W1:28.5 | of infinite value, full of happiness and hope. Hidden under all your | ideas about it is its real purpose, the purpose it shares with all |
| W1:39.1 | its opposite? Like the text for which this workbook was written, the | ideas which are used for the exercises are very simple, very clear, |
| W1:45.9 | Under all the senseless thoughts and mad | ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts |

| W1:R1.1 | the fiftieth. There will be a few short comments after each of the | ideas, which you should consider in your review. In the practice |
| W1:R1.2 | Begin the day by reading the five | ideas, with the comments included. Thereafter, it is not necessary to |
| 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 one. |

| W1:R2.1 | review. We will begin where our last review left off and cover two | ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one |
| W1:R2.1 | day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one of these | ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have one |

| W1:98.13 | and lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited | ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that |
| W1:107.4 | pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead | ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, |
| W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins today. We will review two of the last 20 | ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We will observe a |

| W1:R3.6 | Place the | ideas within your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it |
| W1:R3.10 | between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two | ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use one on the hour and |
| W1:R3.13 | hour as well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these | ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews |
| W1:131.10 | foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true | ideas instead. |
| W1:131.11 | world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true | ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no |
| W1:132.2 | for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all | ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. |

| W1:132.20 | Throughout the day, increase the freedom sent through your | ideas to all the world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the |
| W1:133.1 | we will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing | ideas but dwell instead on benefits to you. |
| W1:133.2 | you the little that you have. It does not try to substitute utopian | ideas for satisfactions which the world contains. |
| W1:134.17 | that you are using his “offenses” but to save the world from all | ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you thought of |
| W1:135.17 | a future quite unlike the past without a continuity of any old | ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for |
| W1:137.1 | salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all the world's | ideas which dwell on sickness and on separate states. Sickness is a |
| W1:137.5 | at all, healing but offers restitution for imagined states and false | ideas which dreams embroider into pictures of the truth. |
| W1:138.8 | with terror and anxiety so strong that it will not relinquish its | ideas about its own protection. It must be saved from salvation, |
| W1:R4.10 | After your preparation, merely read each of the two | ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes |
| W1:R4.11 | the day began and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two | ideas you practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see |
| W1:R4.12 | thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to the | ideas for the day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you |
| W1:151.13 | remove the elements of dreams, and give them back to you as clean | ideas that do not contradict the Will of God. |
| W1:156.1 | surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text— | ideas leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart |
| W1:167.3 | it. But its origin is where it must be changed if change occurs. | Ideas leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on |
| W1:167.4 | you did not make, and you can never change. It is the fixed belief | ideas can leave their source and take on qualities the source does |
| W1:167.5 | Death cannot come from life. | Ideas remain united to their source. They can extend all that their |
| W1:170.5 | perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious | ideas must leave their source. For it is you who make attack and must |
| W1:182.8 | still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless | ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear |
| W1:187.2 | that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give | ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in |
| W1:187.3 | Ideas must first belong to you before you give them. If you are to | |
| W1:189.7 | false or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy and all the | ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with |
| W1:190.4 | Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane | ideas. There is no need to think of them as savage crimes or secret |
| W1:R6.1 | day, use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these | ideas alone would be sufficient for salvation, if it were learned |

| Tx:7.87 | because the ego is your belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in | identification which never had a consistent model and never developed |

| Tx:1.62 | the question “response to what?” becomes crucial. Since stimuli are | identified through perception, you first perceive the stimulus and |

| Tx:18.51 | attacked, to hold the separation in the mind and let it not know its | identity. Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and direct |
| Tx:18.58 | beyond the body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared | Identity together. Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He |
| Tx:18.59 | unites with it. And while this lasts, you are not uncertain of your | Identity and would not limit it. You have escaped from fear to peace, |
| Tx:20.68 | Do you not want to know your own | Identity? Would you not happily exchange your doubts for certainty? |
| Tx:21.43 | their brothers have detached themselves from their belief that their | identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you |
| Tx:21.54 | Source? And where are you but there, where this same answer is? Your | Identity, as much a true effect of this same Source as is the answer, |
| Tx:26.2 | itself complete. For if they joined, each one would lose its own | identity, and by their separation are their selves maintained. |
| Tx:26.3 | must lose this little part, remaining incomplete to keep its own | identity intact. In this perception of yourself, the body's loss |
| Tx:26.58 | God ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice his own | identity with everything to find a little treasure of his own. And |
| Tx:27.22 | see they are the same, and therefore is correction not of you. | Identity and function are the same, and by your function do you know |
| Tx:27.23 | [In a split mind, | identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive a function |
| Tx:27.23 | as one and, with a single function, that would mean a shared | identity with but one end. |
| Tx:27.24 | also know the 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 |
| Tx:28.37 | of pain, as he in yours. So do you both become illusions and without | identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil |
| Tx:28.38 | a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose | identity in them. You find yourself by not accepting them as causing |
| Tx:28.39 | thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your | identity depends on his reality. Think rather of him as a mind in |
| Tx:28.41 | become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own. | Identity in dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the dream |
| Tx:28.44 | piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he offers his | identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of just a |
| Tx:28.49 | dream you share. And fearing it, you will not want to know your own | Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you will deny your |
| Tx:29.31 | peace. Think not that you can change Their dwelling place. For your | Identity abides in Them, and where They are, forever must you be. |
| Tx:29.32 | but to accept the changeless and eternal that abide in him, for your | Identity is there. The peace in you can but be found in him. And |

| W1:35.3 | view of yourself. By establishing your Source, it establishes your | Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth. We |

| W1:62.2 | yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your | Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning |
| W1:77.1 | how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your true | Identity. It is this that we will celebrate today. |
| W1:97.1 | Today's idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split | identity, nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply |
| W1:97.1 | mind has been absolved from madness, letting go illusions of a split | identity. |
| W1:123.4 | today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be our true | Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with |
| W1:124.1 | Today we will again give thanks for our | Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we |
| W1:136.9 | does, and in this pain are you made one with it. Thus is your “true” | identity preserved and the strange, haunting thought that you might |
| W1:136.21 | to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily | identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give |
| W1:166.9 | even think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your | identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His |
| W1:183.1 | and thus are they united in a bond to which they turn for their | identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even within a |
| W1:184.8 | upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true | Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. His |
| W1:184.10 | you understand the Word, the Name Which God has given you; the One | Identity Which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is |
| W1:191.2 | world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own | Identity, and this is what remains. You look on chaos and proclaim it |
| W1:191.3 | Deny your own | Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this |
| W1:191.3 | thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own | Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a tiny |
| W1:191.3 | particle of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own | Identity and look on evil, sin, and death. And watch despair snatch |
| W1:191.4 | Yet what is it except a game you play in which | identity can be denied? You are as God created you. All else but this |
| W1:191.5 | you will return and set it free. For he who can accept his true | Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives to |
| W1:192.10 | earth is only to forgive him, that you may accept him back as your | Identity. He is as God created him. And you are what he is. Forgive |
| W2:224.1 | My true | Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly |
| W2:229.1 | I seek my own | Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what |

| W2:229.2 | Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my | Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of |
| W2:WS.2 | its oneness. Now it did not know itself and thought its own | Identity was lost. |
| W2:252.2 | Father, You know my true | Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to |

| W2:260.2 | Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find our true | Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know no |
| W2:261.1 | I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my | Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember |

| W2:283.1 | secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true | Identity, when You created everything that is? |
| W2:283.2 | Now are we one in shared | Identity, with God our Father as our only Source and everything |
| W2:287.1 | treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my | Identity? And would I rather live with fear than love? |
| W2:287.2 | but this could I expect to recognize my Self and be at one with my | Identity? |
| W2:WIRW.5 | is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our | Identity which our forgiveness has restored to us. |
| W2:297.2 | Thanks be to You for Your eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my | Identity. |

| W2:352.1 | hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own | Identity and find in Him the memory of You. |
| W2:353.1 | while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my | Identity and recognize that Christ is but my Self. |
| W2:355.1 | an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I choose and my | Identity along with You. Your Son would be Himself and know You as |
| M:7.6 | recognize him as part of the self and thus represents a confusion in | identity. Conflict about what you are has entered your mind, and you |
| M:13.2 | such things, the mind associates itself with the body, obscuring its | identity and losing sight of what it really is. |
| M:13.3 | could this be possible. For self-condemnation is a decision about | identity, and no one doubts what he believes he is. He can doubt all |
| M:26.2 | retaining no trace of worldly limits and remembering their own | Identity perfectly. These might be called the teachers of teachers, |
idle (43) | ||
| Tx:2.89 | lack of awareness of thought-power. For example, you say, “Just an | idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no effect. You also |
| Tx:7.105 | We said before that you are the Will of God. His Will is not an | idle wish, and your identification with His Will is not optional, |
| Tx:10.44 | itself. The real conflict you experience, then, is between the ego's | idle wishes and the Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real |
| Tx:13.23 | there. You wanted not salvation in the past. Would you impose your | idle wishes on the present and hope to find salvation now? |
| Tx:20.10 | I have given unless you share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no | idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a while and laid aside. |
| Tx:20.73 | Judgment is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the | idle game of death in your imagination. But vision sets all things |
| Tx:21.19 | The world you see is but the | idle witness that you were right. This witness is insane. You trained |
| Tx:27.69 | up and down according to a senseless plot conceived within the | idle dreaming of the world. |
| Tx:27.73 | No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an | idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has |
| Tx:27.85 | tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold your | idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy |
| Tx:30.55 | what you never were and seek no more to substitute the strength of | idle wishes for the Will of God. |
| W1:16.2 | gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called | idle. Every thought you have contributes to truth or to illusion; |
| W1:16.3 | In addition to never being | idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you |
| W1:41.5 | anything. Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the | idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own |
| W1:45.11 | gained, you should be able to remind yourself that this is no | idle game but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the |
| W1:50.4 | to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no | idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son |
| W1:63.2 | forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is no | idle request that is being asked of you. You are asked to accept |
| W1:65.8 | to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to catch a few of the | idle thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain |
| W1:70.13 | holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this will be no | idle fantasy. |
| W1:73.1 | the will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's | idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The will |
| W1:73.1 | you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The ego's | idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no power at all. Its |
| W1:73.1 | are unshared and therefore have no power at all. Its wishes are not | idle in the sense that they can make a world of illusions in which |
| W1:73.1 | of illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they are | idle indeed in terms of creation. They make nothing that is real. |
| W1:73.2 | Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the | |
| W1:73.4 | the light of Heaven shines on it. Darkness has vanished; the ego's | idle wishes have been withdrawn. |
| W1:73.9 | your will to find and remember what it is your will to remember. No | idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an illusion of |
| W1:73.11 | appointed for the release of the Son of God from hell and from all | idle wishes. His will is now restored to his awareness. He is willing |
| W1:86.2 | it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I will undertake no more | idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will work. And I will |
| W1:92.9 | offer you the light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell on | idle shadows that the body's eyes provide for self-deception. |
| W1:93.3 | you think, but from a very different reference point from which such | idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to |

| W1:127.8 | of your own reality and what love means. He will shine through your | idle thoughts today and help you understand the truth of love. In |
| W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to free the world from all the | idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all living things we |
| W1:140.5 | Peace be to you who have been cured in God and not in | idle dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and holiness cannot be |
| W1:151.7 | ears, nor what your fingers' touch reports of him. He passes by such | idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God's Son. He |
| W1:151.11 | represent the truth and disregard those aspects which reflect but | idle dreams. And He will reinterpret all you see and all occurrences, |
| W1:153.4 | madness in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an | idle dream, beyond the possible. The sense of threat the world |
| W1:185.7 | really mean the words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no | idle wish. These words do not request another dream be given us. They |
| W1:190.7 | it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you will. Your | idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires bring it evil |
| W1:R6.7 | There is but one exception to this lack of structuring. Permit no | idle thought to go unchallenged. If you notice one, deny its hold and |
| W2:309.2 | The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from | idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the |
idly (8) | ||
| Tx:16.20 | given you. For the ideas are mighty forces to be used and not held | idly by. They have already proved their power sufficiently for you to |
| Tx:24.1 | Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what illusion that | idly seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is |
| Tx:26.60 | adds to its abundance, never takes away. This is as true of what is | idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind can wish to be |
| Tx:27.31 | as vacant, and the time devoted to its seeing be perceived as | idly spent, a time unoccupied. |
| Tx:27.80 | Thus are you not the dreamer but the dream. And so you wander | idly in and out of places and events which it contrives. That this is |
| Tx:28.63 | used to witness to the dream of separation and disease. Nor is it | idly blamed for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of |
| Tx:30.57 | sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not held dear. No rules are | idly set, and no demands are made of anyone or anything to twist and |

idol (58) | ||
| Tx:7.49 | you can see in two ways. One way shows you an image, or better, an | idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will never love. |
| Tx:9.77 | with him? To believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same | idol he does. God created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry |
| Tx:9.78 | A sick god must be an | idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is |
| Tx:9.78 | self-sufficient, very vicious, and very vulnerable. Is this the | idol you would worship? Is this the image you would be vigilant to |
| Tx:9.78 | of yours. And you are willing to keep it hidden and to protect this | idol, which you think will save you from the dangers which the idol |
| Tx:9.78 | this idol, which you think will save you from the dangers which the | idol itself stands for, but which do not exist. |
| Tx:16.55 | In the name of your completion, you do not want this. For every | idol which you raise to place before Him stands before you in place |
| Tx:20.55 | The body is the ego's | idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This |
| Tx:24.27 | its defender. You would protect what God created not. And yet this | idol that seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have |
| Tx:24.27 | unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery before the | idol that can save you not. |
| Tx:29.43 | outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an | idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be |
| Tx:29.43 | where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. Each | idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His place. |
| Tx:29.45 | him, all excepting one; for he will die and does not understand the | idol that he seeks is but his death. Its form appears to be outside |
| Tx:29.45 | and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose every | idol has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and this the role |
| Tx:29.47 | seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an | idol found that represents a parody of life which in its lifelessness |
| Tx:29.48 | of peace. God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No | idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside |
| Tx:29.50 | fear of loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an | idol which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the |
| Tx:29.50 | light of truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this | idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer |
| Tx:29.51 | and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An | idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for |
| Tx:29.52 | What is an | idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and |
| Tx:29.52 | you do not know what they are for and why they have been made. An | idol is an image of your brother which you would value more than what |
| Tx:29.54 | An | idol is a false impression or a false belief—some form of |
| Tx:29.54 | which constitutes a gap between the Christ and what you see. An | idol is a wish made tangible and given form and thus perceived as |
| Tx:29.56 | What is an | idol? Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to come to life |
| Tx:29.56 | not need belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An | idol is established by belief, and when it is withdrawn, the idol |
| Tx:29.56 | is. An idol is established by belief, and when it is withdrawn, the | idol “dies.” |
| Tx:29.58 | Where is an | idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a place where |
| Tx:29.58 | alcove separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An | idol is beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no |
| Tx:29.58 | room for anything to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an | idol be while God is everything and everywhere. |
| Tx:29.59 | What purpose has an | idol, then? What is it for? This is the only question which has many |
| Tx:29.59 | or even more affliction and more pain. But more of something is an | idol for. And when one fails, another takes its place with hope of |
| Tx:29.59 | something else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An | idol is a means for getting more. And it is this that is against |
| Tx:29.60 | And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. No | idol can establish you as more than God. But you will never be |
| Tx:29.63 | are part of what they have been made to save you from. Thus does an | idol keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could wish for one |
| Tx:29.63 | wish for one unless he were in terror and despair? And this the | idol represents, and so its worship is the worship of despair and |
| Tx:29.69 | of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an | idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it |
| Tx:30.39 | take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What | idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? |
| Tx:30.39 | of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not want an | idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the |
| Tx:30.39 | the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will within the | idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be |
| Tx:30.40 | Behind the search for every | idol lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no form because |
| Tx:30.40 | achieve completion in a form you like. This is the purpose of an | idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the belief |
| Tx:30.41 | It never is the | idol that you want. But what you think it offers you, you want indeed |
| Tx:30.41 | and no separate thing the power to complete the Son of God. What | idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what he already has? |
| Tx:30.42 | to what is not in him, he would not be as God created him. What | idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a part of him away? |
| Tx:30.48 | two realities, but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An | idol or the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, |
| Tx:30.54 | one very simple thing—you do not want whatever you believe an | idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of |
| Tx:30.63 | the real world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an | idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from |
| Tx:30.66 | Do not look back except in honesty. And when an | idol tempts you, think of this: |
| Tx:30.67 | There never was a time an | idol brought you anything except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was |
| Tx:30.68 | Be merciful unto your brother, then. And do not choose an | idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost as well as |
| Tx:30.76 | and will remain afraid to look within and find escape from every | idol there. Salvation rests on faith there cannot be some forms of |
| Tx:30.81 | been given no effects. But what you see as having power to make an | idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has become to you |
| Tx:31.44 | is made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an | idol, made to take the place of your reality as Son of God. The |

| W1:92.5 | Strength is the truth about you; weakness is an | idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be dispelled and |
| W1:163.4 | Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived within an | idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of |
| W1:170.9 | release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing before this | idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to love what you |

| Tx:20.48 | not even see. It wants them solely for the offerings on which its | idols thrive. The rest it merely throws away, for all that it could |
| Tx:20.48 | the ego seeks as many bodies as it can collect to place its | idols in and so establish them as temples to itself. |
| Tx:20.50 | For here is love made fearful and hope abandoned. Even the | idols that are worshiped here are shrouded in mystery and kept apart |
| Tx:20.53 | Idols must disappear and leave no trace behind their going. The | |
| Tx:20.55 | does the Son of God stop briefly by to offer his devotion to death's | idols, and then pass on. And here he is more dead than living. Yet it |
| Tx:21.22 | where the gifts belong. Where they should be, you have set up your | idols to something else. This other will, which seems to tell you |
| Tx:29.45 | The lingering illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand | idols and to seek beyond them for a thousand more. And each will fail |

| Tx:29.48 | your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to | idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the |

| Tx:29.49 | thus do you decide what it is for. You try to see in it a place of | idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete what is |
| Tx:29.49 | they are what you wish, perceived as if it had been given you. Your | idols do what you would have them do and have the power you ascribe |

| Tx:29.50 | there. Your holy 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 |
| Tx:29.50 | 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. But you have made |
| Tx:29.51 | you, and do not seek to drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to | idols of yourself. Seek not outside your Father for your hope. For |
| Tx:29.52 | What is an idol? Do you think you know? For | idols are unrecognized as such and never seen for what they really |
| Tx:29.52 | an image of your brother which you would value more than what he is. | Idols are made that he may be replaced, no matter what their form. |
| Tx:29.53 | Let not their form deceive you. | Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe |
| Tx:29.53 | lacks and add the value which you do not have. No one believes in | idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus |
| Tx:29.55 | This world of | idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its purpose is to |
| Tx:29.57 | the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the world of | idols has been set by the idea this power and place and time are |
| Tx:29.59 | the one of whom the question has been asked. The world believes in | idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and still attempts to |
| Tx:29.59 | might offer him a gift reality does not contain. Each worshiper of | idols harbors hope his special deities will give him more than other |
| Tx:29.60 | and who be given less? In Heaven would the Son of God but laugh if | idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:29.60 | upon his peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit speaks and tells you | idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. |
| Tx:29.60 | can you never have. If Heaven is within, why would you seek for | idols which would make of Heaven less, to give you more than God |
| Tx:29.61 | The slave of | idols is a willing slave. For willing he must be to let himself bow |
| Tx:29.61 | let himself fall lower than the stones upon the ground and look to | idols that they raise him up? Hear then your story in the dream you |
| Tx:29.62 | he is part of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have need of | idols which will hold the judgment off from resting on himself. Nor |
| Tx:29.62 | Judge not, because you make yourself a part of evil dreams where | idols are your “true” identity and your salvation from the judgment |
| Tx:29.63 | All figures in the dream are | idols made to save you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they |
| Tx:29.63 | judgment, you attack and are condemned and wish to be the slave of | idols which are interposed between your judgment and the penalty it |
| Tx:29.64 | There can be no salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. For | idols must be part of it to save you from what you believe you have |
| Tx:29.64 | within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and | idols are the toys you dream you play with. Who has need of toys but |
| Tx:29.67 | a dream. Except the figures have been changed. They are not seen as | idols which betray. It is a dream in which no one is used to |
| Tx:29.69 | fear, for fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for | idols and for death. |
| Tx:29.70 | sign that you have made a new beginning, not another try to worship | idols and to keep attack. Forgiving dreams are kind to everyone who |
| Tx:30.29 | decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are made with | idols or with God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and |
| Tx:30.38 | Idols are quite specific. But your will is universal, being | |
| Tx:30.38 | 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 which will |
| Tx:30.38 | satisfy because it is your will that everything be yours. Decide for | idols, and you ask for loss. Decide for truth, and everything is |
| Tx:30.42 | of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all | idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more than whole |
| Tx:30.46 | which keeps this star invisible to earth. But those who seek for | idols cannot know this star is there. |
| Tx:30.47 | Beyond all | idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the |
| Tx:30.47 | reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships | idols and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of its |
| Tx:30.48 | the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that | idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but |
| Tx:30.49 | The truth could never be attacked. And this you knew when you made | idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack but |
| Tx:30.49 | forgotten. You attack but false ideas and never truthful ones. All | idols are the false ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose |
| Tx:30.53 | like to itself? Look calmly at its toys and understand that they are | idols which but dance to vain desires. Give them not your worship, |
| Tx:30.53 | in attack. God's Son needs no defense against his dreams. His | idols do not threaten him at all. His one mistake is that he thinks |
| Tx:30.54 | an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of | idols. And thus is he free. |
| Tx:30.57 | aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of | idols which are sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not held |
| Tx:30.58 | lost. The folly of pursuing guilt as goal is fully recognized. And | idols are not wanted there, for guilt is understood as the sole cause |
| Tx:30.61 | real world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do | idols go when they are still perceived, but wanted not. How willingly |
| Tx:30.61 | How willingly the mind can let them go when it has understood that | idols are nothing and nowhere and are purposeless. For only then can |
| Tx:30.63 | an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from | idols toward reality. For when they joined their hands, it was |
| Tx:30.75 | forgiveness cannot heal. This means that you prefer to keep some | idols and are not prepared as yet to let all idols go. And thus you |
| Tx:30.75 | you prefer to keep some idols and are not prepared as yet to let all | idols go. And thus you think that some appearances are real and not |
| Tx:30.91 | that no reality be so. Yet it is an assertion that some forms of | idols have a powerful appeal which makes them harder to resist than |

| W2:283.1 | it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship | idols. I am He my Father loves. His holiness remains the light of |

| Tx:17.68 | with the goal, but with the value of the goal to you. Accept not the | illusion of peace it offers, but look upon its offering and recognize |
| Tx:17.68 | of peace it offers, but look upon its offering and recognize it is | illusion. |
| Tx:17.69 | The goal of | illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to truth. If |
| Tx:18.4 | It has taken many forms because it was the substitution of | illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has become so |
| Tx:18.4 | one and still is what it was. That one error, which brought truth to | illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. |
| Tx:18.17 | escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an instant, the | illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror. For |
| Tx:18.17 | and in an instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the | illusion of terror. For the dream of your ability to control reality |
| Tx:18.18 | out for you, for if you did, the guilt would not be theirs, and the | illusion of satisfaction would be gone. In dreams these features are |
| Tx:18.24 | You who have spent your lives in bringing truth to | illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. For you |
| Tx:18.26 | illusions in which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the | illusion, your fear increases, for there is little doubt that what |
| Tx:18.41 | was. If you already understood the difference between truth and | illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, your |
| Tx:18.56 | the place you set aside to house your hate is not a prison but an | illusion of yourself. The body is a limit imposed on the universal |
| Tx:18.59 | as separate. What really happens is that you have given up the | illusion of a limited awareness and lost your fear of union. The love |
| Tx:18.73 | how alone and frightened is this little thought, this infinitesimal | illusion, holding itself apart against the universe. The sun becomes |
| Tx:18.89 | as you believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the | illusion which seems to make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a |
| Tx:18.90 | solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an | illusion. It gives way softly to the mountain tops which rise above |
| Tx:18.90 | fall nor hold a feather. [Nothing can rest upon it, for it is but an | illusion of a foundation.] Try but to touch it and it disappears; |
| Tx:19.3 | separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of | illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what |
| Tx:19.5 | to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of | illusion; illusion the absence of truth. |
| Tx:19.5 | Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; | illusion the absence of truth. |
| Tx:19.7 | and when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both truth and | illusion in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as |
| Tx:19.7 | in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as dedication to | illusion and given up when brought to truth and seen as totally |
| Tx:19.8 | Truth and | illusion have no connection. This will remain forever true, however |
| Tx:19.22 | in such a world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange | illusion which makes the clouds of guilt seem heavy and impenetrable. |
| Tx:19.45 | the light in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an | illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of |
| Tx:19.47 | This feather of a wish, this tiny | illusion, this microscopic remnant of the belief in sin, is all that |
| Tx:19.71 | therefore painful. It will share the pain of all illusions, and the | illusion of pleasure will be the same as pain. |
| Tx:19.72 | serving its master whose attraction to guilt maintains the whole | illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of pain. |
| Tx:20.11 | him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of | illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy |
| Tx:20.28 | seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without | illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to |
| Tx:20.52 | time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give it the | illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held |
| Tx:20.62 | of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It cannot be attained but in | illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a body is quite in |
| Tx:20.62 | here is sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the | illusion of a brother as a body is quite in keeping with the purpose |
| Tx:20.65 | to reality. Your holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no | illusion. Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings |
| Tx:21.84 | or happiness in changing form that shifts with time and place, is an | illusion which has no meaning. Happiness must be constant because it |
| Tx:22.11 | itself from an unholy relationship and yet more ancient than the old | illusion that it has replaced, is like a baby now in its rebirth. Yet |
| Tx:22.14 | the recognition that the “something else” you thought was you is an | illusion. And truth came instantly to show you where your Self must |
| Tx:22.16 | one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every | illusion carries pain and suffering in the dark folds of the heavy |
| Tx:22.19 | can exist is to confuse what is the same with what is different. One | illusion cherished and defended against the truth makes all truth |
| Tx:22.21 | believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an | illusion of yourself. Not both, but one. There is no point in trying |
| Tx:22.23 | of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there one | illusion you can enter Heaven with. A savior cannot be a judge, nor |
| Tx:22.24 | Let us look closer at the whole | illusion that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is |
| Tx:22.24 | enemies. And here we see again another form of the same fundamental | illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it were possible the |
| Tx:22.27 | Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every | illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked and |
| Tx:22.35 | Reason will tell you that, if form is not reality, it must be an | illusion and is not there to see. And if you see it, you must be |
| Tx:22.44 | slip through its nothingness. It is no solid wall. And only an | illusion stands between you and the holy Self you share. |
| Tx:22.49 | in truth. What, then, must happen when they come together? Can the | illusion of immovability be long defended from what is quietly passed |
| Tx:22.50 | to be defensive about anything, you have identified yourself with an | illusion. And therefore feel that you are weak because you are alone. |
| Tx:22.50 | to stand between you that makes it look impenetrable and defends the | illusion of its immovability. |
| Tx:22.56 | in time can long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And no | illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship which has become the |
| Tx:22.57 | could block your sight, preventing you from seeing past it? And what | illusion could there be you will not recognize as a mistake—a |
| Tx:23.3 | for their awareness of the truth releases everything from the | illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful now stands shining |
| Tx:23.9 | a mistake—an error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an | illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet illusions cannot |
| Tx:23.11 | by itself, and you have not forgotten what you are. Only a strange | illusion of yourself, a wish to triumph over what you are, remembers |
| Tx:23.13 | what you know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One | illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two |
| Tx:23.15 | the conqueror to be the truer, the more real, and vanquisher of the | illusion that was less real, made an illusion by defeat. Thus, |
| Tx:23.15 | real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less real, made an | illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between illusions, |
| Tx:23.15 | and despised. Here will the Father never be remembered. Yet no | illusion can invade His home and drive Him out of what He loves |
| Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions | |
| Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets | illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. |
| Tx:23.36 | it and pamper it, and make it live? And can you be content with an | illusion that you are living? |
| Tx:23.37 | life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven, life is | illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst, like death. Yet both |
| Tx:23.46 | safety. Not one tree left standing still will shelter you. Not one | illusion of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here |
| Tx:23.47 | Yet He remains the only place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no | illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly true. No |
| Tx:23.47 | is not love is murder. What is not loving must be an attack. Every | illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the |
| Tx:23.52 | up. For you have chosen to remain where He would have you, and no | illusion can attack the peace of God together with His Son. |
| Tx:24.1 | illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what | illusion that idly seems to drift between them has the power to |
| Tx:24.7 | is the great dictator of the wrong decisions. Here is the grand | illusion of what you are and what your brother is. And here is what |
| Tx:24.7 | do. For what your brother must become to keep your specialness is an | illusion. He who is “worse” than you must be attacked so that your |
| Tx:24.16 | it would show them that the specialness they think they see is an | illusion. What would they see instead? |
| Tx:24.25 | joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but | illusion of despair. The death of specialness is not your death but |
| Tx:24.25 | death but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an | illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created |
| Tx:24.26 | why it is impossible but partly to forgive. No one who clings to one | illusion can see himself as sinless, for he holds one error to |
| Tx:25.37 | meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin are bound as one | illusion, each the cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is |
| Tx:25.52 | deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God ever had is an | illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the |
| Tx:26.5 | Those who would see the witnesses to truth instead of to | illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that |
| Tx:26.21 | final judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of the truth upon | illusion, of knowledge on perception—it has no meaning and does not |
| Tx:26.23 | perception of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an | illusion. Yet within this one lies the undoing of every illusion, not |
| Tx:26.23 | choice is an illusion. Yet within this one lies the undoing of every | illusion, not excepting this. |
| Tx:26.24 | conflict here. No sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment of an | illusion recognized as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn |
| Tx:26.33 | an instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one | illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was |
| Tx:26.41 | are real and have existence which can be perceived. This terrible | illusion was denied in but the time it took for God to give His |
| Tx:26.41 | was denied in but the time it took for God to give His answer to | illusion for all time and every circumstance. And then it was no |
| Tx:26.44 | has the power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an | illusion and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing |
| Tx:26.44 | in sacrifice and death has come to you. For no one can make one | illusion real and still escape the rest. For who can choose to keep |
| Tx:26.45 | Lead not your little lives in solitude with one | illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of God's |
| Tx:26.45 | a better Friend in Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one | illusion that you think is friend obscures His grace and majesty from |
| Tx:26.45 | is no other friend. What God appointed has no substitute, for what | illusion can replace the truth? |
| Tx:26.46 | realized its emptiness has left yours empty and unoccupied? Make no | illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him whom |
| Tx:26.50 | yet can be seen as upside-down. And this must be corrected where the | illusion of reversal lies. |
| Tx:26.51 | It is impossible that one | illusion be less amenable to truth than are the rest. But it is |
| Tx:26.51 | and less willingly offered to truth for healing and for help. No | illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than |
| Tx:26.68 | that you might be a little separate. For time and space are one | illusion which takes different forms. If it has been projected beyond |
| Tx:26.75 | Yet this | illusion has a cause which, though untrue, must be already in your |
| Tx:26.75 | a cause which, though untrue, must be already in your mind. And this | illusion is but one effect which it engenders and one form in which |
| Tx:27.81 | world as real. He would have seen at once that these ideas are one | illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. How |
| Tx:28.38 | the dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The dream is but | illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never |
| Tx:28.38 | you think that you are but a dream. And what is real and what is but | illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart. |
| Tx:28.39 | Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his | illusion of himself, for your identity depends on his reality. Think |
| Tx:28.49 | of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are your Self or an | illusion. What can be between illusion and the truth? A middle ground |
| Tx:28.49 | no compromise. You are your Self or an illusion. What can be between | illusion and the truth? A middle ground where you can be a thing that |
| Tx:28.51 | can be? Let not your eyes behold a dream, your ears bear witness to | illusion. They were made to look upon a world that is not there, to |
| Tx:29.12 | the function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and sin are one | illusion, as are hate and fear, attack and guilt but one. Where they |
| Tx:29.31 | this whole world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of | illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which time has left, |
| Tx:29.34 | They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on every vain | illusion of the world. And being empty, they received instead a |
| Tx:29.44 | No one who comes here but must still have hope, some lingering | illusion, or some dream that there is something outside of himself |
| Tx:29.45 | The lingering | illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek |
| Tx:30.53 | power that can have no real effects at all? What could it be but an | illusion, making things appear like to itself? Look calmly at its |
| Tx:30.76 | are true. If one appearance must remain apart from healing, one | illusion must be part of truth. And you could not escape all guilt, |
| Tx:31.15 | What you would choose between is not a choice and gives but the | illusion it is free, for it will have one outcome either way. Thus is |
| Tx:31.31 | want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains to the | illusion of a changing love the ones you think are friends. |
| Tx:31.34 | Real choice is no | illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its roads but lead to |
| Tx:31.40 | cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is still the same | illusion and the same mistake. All choices in the world depend on |
| Tx:31.76 | that there is a space between you and your brother, kept apart by an | illusion of yourself which holds him off from you and you away from |
| Tx:31.76 | from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon which you give to the | illusion of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds |
| Tx:31.97 | ending at the place where it began. No trace of it remains. Not one | illusion is accorded faith, and not one spot of darkness still |
| W1:16.2 | be called idle. Every thought you have contributes to truth or to | illusion; either it extends the truth or it multiplies illusions. You |
| W1:49.2 | It is really the only part there is. The other part is a wild | illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. |
| W1:51.3 | this and only this that I see. This is not vision. It is merely an | illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made quite apart |
| W1:52.2 | because I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an | illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this |
| W1:53.4 | and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have given it the | illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I |
| W1:55.2 | the witnesses to the truth in me, rather than those that show me an | illusion of myself. |
| W1:59.3 | my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful | illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ's |
| W1:66.10 | of the ego. Does the ego really have gifts to give, being itself an | illusion and offering only the illusion of gifts? |
| W1:66.10 | have gifts to give, being itself an illusion and offering only the | illusion of gifts? |
| W1:66.11 | practice period today. Think also about the many forms which the | illusion of your function has taken in your mind and the many ways in |
| W1:71.4 | work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the | illusion persists that, although this hope has always failed, there |
| W1:73.9 | to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an | illusion of strength. Today let your will be done. And end forever |
| W1:83.7 | wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the | illusion of happiness apart from my function. |
| W1:84.4 | Let me not see an | illusion of myself in this. As I look on this, let me remember my |
| W1:88.2 | not there to choose. That is why I always choose between truth and | illusion, between what is there and what is not. The light has come. |
| W1:91.11 | limited, but unlimited. I am not doubtful, but certain. I am not an | illusion, but a reality. I cannot see in darkness, but in light. |
| W1:93.15 | If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the | illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be |
| W1:96.2 | The fact that truth and | illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you |
| W1:99.2 | salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the truth and | illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by which you |
| W1:101.2 | If sin is real then happiness must be | illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death |
| W1:107.9 | that has been born of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of | illusion is not our approach today. We are as certain of success as |
| W1:127.8 | truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark | illusion of your own reality and what love means. He will shine |
| W1:131.7 | Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great | illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is |
| W1:133.8 | they are there. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the | illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and nothing |
| W1:134.3 | the truth in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an | illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the |
| W1:134.19 | yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see through this | illusion as you tell yourself: |
| W1:136.1 | When this is seen, healing is automatic. It dispels this meaningless | illusion by the same approach that carries all of them to truth and |
| W1:136.14 | It is this fact which demonstrates that time is an | illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is not the |
| W1:140.1 | it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute | illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and |
| W1:140.1 | mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for | illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the |
| W1:140.6 | fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought which judges an | illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is |
| W1:140.6 | the form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is and knows that no | illusion can be real. |
| W1:140.7 | is really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one | illusion differ from another but in attributes that have no |
| W1:140.14 | cover us with soft protection and with peace so deep that no | illusion can disturb our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. |
| W1:155.2 | The world is an | illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place |
| W1:155.2 | it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let | illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let illusion sink |
| W1:155.2 | to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let | illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what |
| W1:155.3 | This is the simple choice we make today. The mad | illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who |
| W1:155.3 | a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look beyond | illusion to the simple truth in them. |
| W1:155.6 | Illusion still appears to cling to you that you may reach them. Yet | |
| W1:155.6 | you that you may reach them. Yet it has stepped back, and it is not | illusion that they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring |
| W1:155.6 | stepped back, and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of nor | illusion which you bring their eyes to look on and their minds to |
| W1:155.6 | Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through | illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the way you |
| W1:155.6 | of you, speak to them through illusion, for the road leads past | illusion now, while on the way you call to them that they may follow |
| W1:155.7 | death and set them on the way to happiness. Their suffering is but | illusion. Yet they need a guide to lead them out of it, for they |
| W1:155.7 | Yet they need a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake | illusion for the truth. |
| W1:155.8 | truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of ransom from | illusion. It is not a ransom with a price. There is no cost, but only |
| W1:155.8 | It is not a ransom with a price. There is no cost, but only gain. | Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is |
| W1:155.11 | holy Son of God will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be | illusion rather than the truth. And we step forth toward this as we |
| W1:158.4 | Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast | illusion in which figures come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a |
| W1:160.4 | and fear. They cannot coexist. If you are real, then fear must be | illusion. And if fear is real, then you do not exist at all. |
| W1:162.2 | is no dream these words will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no | illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away before their |
| W1:163.8 | well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be | illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to look |
| W1:165.1 | wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed except | illusion? What could keep from you what you already have except your |
| W1:R5.12 | in your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before | illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world that it |
| W1:182.2 | tears at all. Still others will maintain that what we speak of is | illusion, not to be considered more than but a dream. Yet who in |
| W1:184.6 | can be seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is true is but | illusion, for it is the ultimate reality. To question it is madness; |
| W1:187.9 | them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? The great | illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the |
| W1:190.7 | has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an | illusion it is what you will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. |
| W1:190.10 | lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is this: pain is | illusion; joy reality. Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. Pain is |
| W1:192.2 | And who would pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let | illusion go. Creation merely waits for your return to be |
| W1:198.1 | Injury is impossible. And yet | illusion makes illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For |
| W1:198.1 | Injury is impossible. And yet illusion makes | illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For you have |
| W1:198.1 | till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted, and unreal. Then does | illusion cease to have effects, and all it seemed to have will be |
| W1:198.2 | occurred at all. Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. | Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is |
| W1:198.2 | Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. Illusion makes | illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the |
| W1:198.2 | as if they had. Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is | illusion that is answer to the rest. |
| W1:198.12 | Accept the one | illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's Son, and |
| W1:199.3 | and lives united with the home that it has made. It is a part of the | illusion that has sheltered it from being found illusory itself. |
| W2:WIW.3 | The mechanisms of | illusion have been born instead. And now they go to find what has |
| W2:WIW.3 | upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but | illusion, which is kept apart from truth. |
| W2:248.1 | not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but | illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in reality and did |
| W2:269.1 | His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask for the | illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a |
| W2:WIC.2 | you one with God and guarantees that separation is no more than an | illusion of despair. For hope forever will abide in Him. Your mind is |
| W2:331.1 | with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is | illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. |
| W2:344.1 | ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an | illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond |

| M:3.3 | meaningless in reality as is time. The illusion of one permits the | illusion of the other. In time, the teacher of God seems to begin to |
| M:3.3 | more about the new direction as he teaches it. We have covered the | illusion of time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching |
| M:3.3 | he teaches it. We have covered the illusion of time already, but the | illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something different. |
| M:4.6 | that any degree of reality should be accorded them in this world of | illusion. The word “value” can apply to nothing else. |

| M:7.5 | in an illusory self, for only such a self can be doubted. This | illusion can take many forms. Perhaps there is a fear of weakness and |
| M:8.2 | of differences. How could it be otherwise? By definition, an | illusion is an attempt to make something real that is regarded as of |
| M:8.2 | unacceptable, the mind revolts against truth and gives itself an | illusion of victory. Finding health a burden, it retreats into |
| M:8.5 | be no order of difficulty in healing merely because all sickness is | illusion. Is it harder to dispel the belief of the insane in a larger |

| M:14.1 | Can what has no beginning really end? The world will end in an | illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an illusion of mercy. |
| M:14.1 | will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an | illusion of mercy. The illusion of forgiveness, complete, excluding |

| M:16.6 | not so. Your safety lies not there. What you give up is merely the | illusion of protecting illusions. And it is this you fear, and only |
| M:16.11 | magic. All belief in magic is maintained by just one simple-minded | illusion—that it works. All through his training, every day and |
| M:18.1 | the teacher of God has ceased to confuse interpretation with fact or | illusion with truth. If he argues with his pupil about a magic |

| M:21.1 | words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the | illusion of separation. Words can be helpful, particularly for the |

| Tx:18.88 | the whole foundation on which the world is based. Here are all the | illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the insane attacks, the |
| Tx:19.4 | overlook our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to | illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a |
| Tx:19.4 | faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought | illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body |
| Tx:19.5 | separate; faith would unite and heal.] Faithlessness would interpose | illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove |
| Tx:19.5 | that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to | illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. |
| Tx:19.8 | will remain forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But | illusions are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a |
| Tx:19.29 | see many things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the eyes' | illusions, but to the mind's corrections. |
| Tx:19.45 | the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No | illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the little wall of |
| Tx:19.45 | the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which | illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was |
| Tx:19.45 | its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all | illusions end. |
| Tx:19.64 | You have paid very dearly for your | illusions, and nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you |
| Tx:19.67 | Forgive me your | illusions and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So |
| Tx:19.71 | the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all | illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same as pain. |

| Tx:20.11 | You have the vision now to look past all | illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers, and |
| Tx:20.11 | The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon | illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your |
| Tx:20.12 | faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no | illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we |
| Tx:20.13 | laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from | illusions, and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the |
| Tx:20.14 | them and beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from | illusions has come to greet you and lead you home with him. |
| Tx:20.53 | temple, look you not back on what you have awakened from. For no | illusions can attract the minds that have transcended them and left |

| Tx:20.63 | you hold about him are not held up to his reality. Here are | illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never |
| Tx:20.63 | his reality. Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are | illusions never brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here |
| Tx:20.69 | joy. And place no value on your brother's body, which holds him to | illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, as |
| Tx:21.32 | them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all | illusions where your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only |
| Tx:21.33 | is not a lack of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to | illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God believe |
| Tx:21.33 | Thus is he faithless to himself, but strong in faith in his | illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you made |
| Tx:21.89 | whose will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your | illusions, think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided |
| Tx:22.14 | came instantly to show you where your Self must be. It is denial of | illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize |
| Tx:22.14 | must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny | illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy |
| Tx:22.16 | The opposite of | illusions is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the ego, to |
| Tx:22.16 | nothingness. Yet in these dark and heavy garments are those who seek | illusions covered and hidden from the joy of truth. |
| Tx:22.17 | Truth is the opposite of | illusions because it offers joy. What else but joy could be the |
| Tx:22.17 | one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an escape. To change | illusions is to make no change. The search for joy in misery is |
| Tx:22.18 | Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and death to their | |
| Tx:22.18 | can change with time. Yet if the change be real and not imagined, | illusions must give way to truth and not to other dreams that are but |
| Tx:22.19 | and defended against the truth makes all truth meaningless and all | illusions real. Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise. |
| Tx:22.23 | There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into | illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. A |
| Tx:22.25 | learn it is not true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the | illusions that you made replaced the truth? |
| Tx:22.33 | it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for they can see only | illusions, unable to look beyond the granite block of sin and |
| Tx:22.35 | what is not there must be distorted perception and must perceive | illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the truth? |
| Tx:22.43 | opens the way to truth to more than you. Those who would let | illusions be lifted from their minds are this world's saviors, |
| Tx:22.45 | How does one overcome | illusions? Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any |
| Tx:22.45 | nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only | illusions need defense because of weakness. And how can it be |
| Tx:22.47 | Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack and therefore no | illusions. Love rests in certainty. Only uncertainty can be |
| Tx:22.49 | between you and your awareness of your union! Be not deceived by the | illusions it presents of size and thickness, weight, solidity, and |
| Tx:22.49 | immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force which no | illusions can resist. This body only seems to be immovable; this |
| Tx:22.50 | that you are weak because you are alone. This is the cost of all | illusions. Not one but rests on the belief that you are separate. Not |
| Tx:22.52 | of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve | illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so impossible |
| Tx:23.9 | ego joins with an illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet | illusions cannot join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their |
| Tx:23.12 | The war against yourself is but the battle of two | illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the |
| Tx:23.12 | Madness holds out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it. | Illusions cannot triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in any |
| Tx:23.13 | For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight against | illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle |
| Tx:23.13 | as God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do | illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with |
| Tx:23.13 | fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. | Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they |
| Tx:23.13 | illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two | illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor, and |
| Tx:23.14 | attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make two | illusions of yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs |
| Tx:23.15 | See how the conflict of | illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems real |
| Tx:23.15 | made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between | illusions, one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and |
| Tx:23.15 | peace because it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no | illusions, being as true and holy as Himself. |
| Tx:23.16 | where God has set him in serenity and peace and dwells with him. | Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from |
| Tx:23.17 | Holy One becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except | illusions. Illusions can conflict because their forms are different. |
| Tx:23.17 | becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. | Illusions can conflict because their forms are different. And they do |
| Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of | illusions leads to war. Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War |
| Tx:23.20 | This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy of | illusions; some are more valuable and therefore true. Each one |
| Tx:23.21 | principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth among | illusions, making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome |
| Tx:23.32 | now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, | illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred love and murder |
| Tx:23.37 | in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of | illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and beyond all reason, and |
| Tx:23.37 | all reason, 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 |
| Tx:23.38 | no less certain in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is | illusions will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not |
| Tx:24.1 | back the Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon | illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what |
| Tx:24.7 | the body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended. | Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must |
| Tx:24.9 | your relationship? And is not this the “enemy” that makes you both | illusions to each other? |
| Tx:24.11 | Those who are special must defend | illusions against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack |
| Tx:24.13 | of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which | illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth. |
| Tx:24.20 | in hate to kill each other and deny they are the same. Yet it is not | illusions which have reached this final obstacle that seems to make |
| Tx:24.20 | so real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all | illusions of yourself outside this place to which you come in hope |
| Tx:24.23 | clings to murder as safety's weapon and the great defender of all | illusions from the “threat” of love. |
| Tx:24.24 | from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon | illusions, safe from God, and safe for conflict everlasting. Here are |
| Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only | illusions can be forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is |
| Tx:24.26 | forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is release from all | illusions, and that is why it is impossible but partly to forgive. No |
| Tx:24.28 | upsets your world and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. | Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But |
| Tx:24.30 | the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon | illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all |
| Tx:24.30 | upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all | illusions to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges |
| Tx:24.31 | of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your | illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your |
| Tx:24.37 | purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the sense that all | illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand before |
| Tx:24.40 | real, as surely as does will create. The power of a wish upholds | illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except that one |
| Tx:24.44 | only Christ can lend you His while you have need of them. They are | illusions too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a |
| Tx:25.10 | in which it thinks it is. And It must use all learning to transfer | illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and |
| Tx:25.25 | perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter for the | illusions which it would make real. Not one but it upholds in its |

| Tx:26.19 | are brought together—where conflicting values meet and all | illusions are laid down beside the truth where they are judged to be |
| Tx:26.24 | change of purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All | illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so lies the |
| Tx:26.39 | place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No past | illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault |
| Tx:26.44 | and through its perceived reality has entered all the world of sick | illusions. All belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, |
| Tx:26.44 | and find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe | illusions are the same and still maintain that even one is best? |
| Tx:26.48 | request is granted—not in truth but in the world of shadows and | illusions built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, |
| Tx:26.51 | although this clearly makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of | illusions can show is preference, not reality. What relevance has |
| Tx:26.51 | preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the truth? | Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no |
| Tx:26.51 | reality. What relevance has preference to the truth? Illusions are | illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no reality. Not |
| Tx:26.53 | where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make it true. | Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them is but |
| Tx:26.60 | it is not. And to believe ideas can leave their source is to invite | illusions to be true, without success. For never will success be |
| Tx:26.62 | Illusions serve the purpose they were made to serve. And from their | |
| Tx:26.62 | they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God gave to all | illusions that were made another purpose that would justify a |
| Tx:27.6 | guilt. Your healing is his comfort and his health because it proves | illusions are not true. |
| Tx:27.12 | purpose, can be given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave | illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your function from |
| Tx:27.39 | The world asks but one question. It is this: “Of these | illusions, which of them are true? Which ones establish peace and |
| Tx:27.68 | Nor did you in any way request them for yourself. This is how all | illusions come about. The one who makes them does not see himself as |
| Tx:27.72 | your reality. The little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of | illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the |
| Tx:27.75 | about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his | illusions and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave. And |
| Tx:28.1 | has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a cause can but produce | illusions of its presence, not effects. |
| Tx:28.15 | the place of loss? What better way to close the little gap between | illusions and reality than to allow the memory of God to flow across |
| Tx:28.21 | dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees | illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without |
| Tx:28.22 | that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with | illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them |
| Tx:28.30 | bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with | illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all things that |
| Tx:28.37 | It means that you share not his wish to separate and let him turn | illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned instead on |
| Tx:28.37 | a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both become | illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or anything, |
| Tx:28.39 | depends on his reality. Think rather of him as a mind in which | illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is |
| Tx:28.40 | dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his | illusions by your faith, for if you do, you will have faith in yours. |
| Tx:28.40 | And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by | illusions which you have supported in each other's minds. |
| Tx:28.46 | on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let | illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place |
| Tx:28.50 | You have conceived a little gap between | illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety lies |
| Tx:28.52 | this. There is no gap which separates the truth from dreams and from | illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any place or time. For |
| Tx:29.22 | overlook your brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his | illusions, he becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see |
| Tx:29.23 | to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your | illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make way for |
| Tx:29.25 | Do you believe that truth can be but some | illusions? They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal |
| Tx:30.49 | satisfy, and thus you will not see you made it up. You always fight | illusions. For the truth behind them is so lovely and so still in |
| Tx:30.52 | the rules you set. It is His laws which guarantee your safety. All | illusions that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem to |
| Tx:30.53 | thus you prove that you have been deceived. Attack has power to make | illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made |
| Tx:30.53 | His one mistake is that he thinks them real. What can the power of | illusions do? |
| Tx:30.56 | so little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even in | illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is |
| Tx:30.56 | him no single thing that he could ever want. He is delivered from | illusions by his will and but restored to what he is. What could |
| Tx:30.74 | as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook | illusions. This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too. There |
| Tx:30.80 | acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your wish to make | illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of the |
| Tx:30.91 | What is temptation but a wish to make | illusions real? It does not seem to be the wish that no reality be |
| Tx:31.33 | keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where choice among | illusions seems to be the only choice. And you are in control of |
| Tx:31.43 | fits it well. For this an image is that suits a world of shadows and | illusions. Here it walks at home, where what it sees is one with it. |
| W1:8.2 | it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to think about | illusions. Very few minds have realized what is actually entailed in |
| W1:13.3 | not possess and crowd it with images that do not exist. To the ego, | illusions are safety devices, as they must also be to you who equate |
| W1:14.7 | These things are part of the world you see. Some of them are shared | illusions, and others are part of your personal hell. It does not |
| W1:15.1 | is image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with | illusions. |
| W1:16.2 | truth or to illusion; either it extends the truth or it multiplies | illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you will not extend |
| W1:35.5 | that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter. | Illusions have no direction in reality. They are merely not true. |
| W1:46.1 | the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of | illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from |
| W1:46.1 | of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from | illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding |
| W1:46.2 | forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which | illusions disappear. |
| W1:48.1 | today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in | illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to |
| W1:48.1 | a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but | illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to fear. It is |
| W1:48.1 | this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who want | illusions to be true. |
| W1:50.3 | Put not your faith in | illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God |
| W1:52.2 | When I am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality with | illusions which I made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have |
| W1:52.2 | because I have replaced reality with illusions which I made up. The | illusions are upsetting because I have given them reality and thus |
| W1:55.5 | are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of | illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find |
| W1:55.6 | is for. To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my | illusions about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I |
| W1:57.6 | shines forgiveness back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my | illusions about myself had kept hidden. I begin to understand the |
| W1:58.4 | in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except | illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about |
| W1:58.4 | What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all | illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them |
| W1:59.2 | suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish | illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me |
| W1:59.4 | me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only | illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from |
| W1:61.4 | idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all | illusions and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images |
| W1:62.2 | Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all | |
| W1:64.2 | Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the | illusions you have made, and therefore He sees another purpose in |
| W1:64.4 | forgiveness, because through it does the Son of God escape from all | illusions and thus from all temptation. The Son of God is you. Only |
| W1:65.10 | exact words, but try to get a sense of being willing to have your | illusions of purpose be replaced by truth. |
| W1:66.9 | two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the ego and is made up of | illusions. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where truth |
| W1:66.13 | as the same and the different as different. On one side stand all | illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize |
| W1:68.3 | your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves | illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. Can all this arise from |
| W1:70.13 | Since all | illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to |
| W1:72.5 | He is a liar and a deceiver, full of false promises and offering | illusions in place of truth. |
| W1:73.1 | Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a world of | illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they are idle |
| W1:73.6 | so. You cannot want this for yourself. There is a point beyond which | illusions cannot go. |
| W1:74.2 | it. The idea itself is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to | illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to |
| W1:74.2 | is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without | illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this today |
| W1:77.2 | Your claim to miracles does not lie in your | illusions about yourself. It does not depend on any magical powers |
| W1:R2.4 | the truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, | illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be |
| W1:89.2 | would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but | illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now I would accept only what |
| W1:89.5 | from hell. By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my | illusions be replaced with truth according to God's plan for my |
| W1:95.11 | be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend | illusions against the truth. Let all these errors go by recognizing |
| W1:95.18 | Feel this One Self in you, and let it shine away all your | illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, |
| W1:95.18 | it is given you to feel this Self within you and to cast all your | illusions out of the One Mind which is this Self, the holy truth in |
| W1:96.7 | What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make | illusions real and solve a problem that does not exist. Perhaps you |
| W1:96.14 | 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 you |
| W1:97.1 | can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go | illusions of a split identity. |
| W1:98.1 | We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let | illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but take a firm |
| W1:99.2 | Truth and | illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible |
| W1:99.2 | reflects the truth because it is the means by which you can escape | illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was never done. |
| W1:99.3 | within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees | illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are |
| W1:99.4 | What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize the need | illusions bring and offer means by which they are undone without |
| W1:99.6 | This is the thought which brings | illusions to the truth, and sees them as appearances behind which is |
| W1:104.6 | of the world that offer other gifts and other goals made of | illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a world of |
| W1:107.1 | What can correct | illusions but the truth? And what are errors but illusions that |
| W1:107.1 | What can correct illusions but the truth? And what are errors but | illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where truth has |
| W1:107.2 | Can you imagine what a state of mind without | illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a |
| W1:107.4 | Without | illusions there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth |
| W1:107.6 | for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible. | Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth |
| W1:107.6 | be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond | illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn them into truth. |
| W1:120.3 | I am as God created me. I am God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick | illusions of myself and let my Father tell me Who I really am. |
| W1:125.5 | have wandered off a little while from Him. He does not cherish the | illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows His Son and wills |
| W1:125.9 | of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no | illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. |
| W1:130.8 | beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not want | illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your hands of |
| W1:132.1 | Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and | illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman |
| W1:132.13 | real creations wait for this release to give you fatherhood, not of | illusions, but as God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you |
| W1:132.14 | a world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny | illusions, but accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid |
| W1:132.15 | He created us would loose the world this day from every one of our | illusions that we may be free. |
| W1:134.2 | be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to everything except | illusions. Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is |
| W1:134.3 | part is that you still believe you must forgive the truth and not | illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look past what |
| W1:134.6 | it; a quiet blessing where it is received. It does not countenance | illusions but collects them lightly with a little laugh and gently |
| W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the | illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and looks right |
| W1:134.8 | of pardon is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it sees | illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it |
| W1:134.8 | is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as | illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it becomes the |
| W1:134.10 | is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness stands between | illusions and the truth, between the world you see and that which |
| W1:135.1 | can save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense—it gives | illusions full reality and then attempts to handle them as real. It |
| W1:135.1 | full reality and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds | illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. |
| W1:135.1 | and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to | illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. |
| W1:136.6 | without regard to all their true relationships, and thus constructs | illusions of a whole which is not there. It is this process which |
| W1:136.11 | quails before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your | illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to |
| W1:136.11 | to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who believes | illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see them and |
| W1:136.15 | Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no | illusions can remain where it has been allowed to enter. And it comes |
| W1:137.4 | will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to | illusions must be shown that what they look upon is false. So |
| W1:137.5 | overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing but removes | illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise |
| W1:137.11 | can remain to rest. For here is truth bestowed, and here are all | illusions brought to truth. |
| W1:138.2 | with fear, for this would be the error truth can be brought to | illusions. Opposition makes the truth unwelcome, and it cannot come. |
| W1:140.7 | provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that brings | illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change but |
| W1:140.8 | our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all | illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to find |
| W1:140.10 | Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all | illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God. |
| W1:R4.5 | of true forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are | illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are—defenses |
| W1:151.10 | in this world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between | illusions and the truth. He will remove all faith that you have |
| W1:151.17 | at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that truth has no | illusions and the peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone. |
| W1:152.15 | the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your | illusions of yourself. |
| W1:153.5 | Son of God as but a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by | illusions he has made; yet helpless he is in their presence, needful |
| W1:153.5 | needful only of defense by still more fantasies and dreams by which | illusions of his safety comfort him. |
| W1:153.7 | you believe you see at work in all the evils of the world? What but | illusions could defend you now, when it is but illusions which you |
| W1:153.7 | the world? What but illusions could defend you now, when it is but | illusions which you fight? |
| W1:155.2 | who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be | illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their own |
| W1:155.8 | can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is but from | illusions he is saved. As they step back, he finds himself again. |
| W1:155.9 | may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let | illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been given you to |
| W1:155.10 | there will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all | illusions walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as |
| W1:162.1 | disappears, and all things seen within its misty clouds and vaporous | illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they come from God. |
| W1:163.2 | of fear, the host of sin, god of the guilty, and the lord of all | illusions and deceptions, does the thought of death seem mighty. For |
| W1:R5.12 | to claim the world. And we remind the world that it is free of all | illusions every time we say, |
| W1:182.11 | and yet He asks unceasingly that you return with Him and take | illusions as your gods no more. |
| W1:183.3 | Repeat God's Name and all the world responds by laying down | illusions. Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and |
| W1:184.8 | Think not you made the world. | Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your |
| W1:185.4 | merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God? | Illusions come to take His place. And what He means is lost to |
| W1:185.5 | is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words who wants | illusions and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. He |
| W1:185.5 | who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which bring | illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks |
| W1:185.7 | where all the rest have failed. To mean these words acknowledges | illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the place of |
| W1:185.8 | you and bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering | illusions, for their form is not what matters now. Let not some |
| W1:186.8 | our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all | illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for |
| W1:187.7 | Illusions recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you | |
| W1:189.6 | Today we pass | illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in us and feel Its |
| W1:190.3 | Pain is a sign | illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates God is denied, |
| W1:190.4 | pain, is mad as they and no more to be feared than the insane | illusions which it shields and tries to demonstrate must still be |
| W1:190.11 | we make the only choice that ever can be made—we choose between | illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our |
| W1:191.4 | this one thought is everything set free. In this one truth are all | illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be |
| W1:194.5 | and loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of | illusions where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each |
| W1:194.8 | himself appealed for comfort and security. He lays aside the sick | illusions of the world along with his and offers peace to both. |
| W1:196.11 | of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to save you from | illusions in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray |
| W1:197.3 | The world must thank you when you offer it release from your | illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you as well, for its release can |
| W1:198.3 | away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All | illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is |
| W1:198.3 | save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where | illusions end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a dream |
| W1:198.8 | could have a thought which builds a bridge to truth which brings | illusions to the other side? |
| W1:204.1 | Son, not slave 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 |
| W1:212.1 | fill. I seek the function that would set me free from all the vain | illusions of the world. Only the function God has given me can offer |
| W2:I.9 | Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think | illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide |
| W2:226.1 | for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for | illusions to replace the truth. |
| W2:227.1 | I was mistaken and did not affect my own reality at all by my | illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down before the feet of |
| W2:WS.3 | failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets | illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go |
| W2:240.1 | what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own | illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Son |
| W2:WIW.3 | which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its | illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from |
| W2:250.2 | my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my | illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him, so I see myself. Today |
| W2:WIS.1 | It is the means by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let | illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions |
| W2:WIS.1 | to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees | illusions where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave |
| W2:WIS.3 | Sin is the home of all | illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from thoughts |
| W2:272.1 | is set in Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can | illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your |
| W2:272.2 | Today we pass | illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger |
| W2:274.1 | this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where | illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will |
| W2:280.1 | limitless is free. I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in | illusions, not in truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's |
| W2:WIHS.1 | The Holy Spirit mediates between | illusions and the truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality |
| W2:299.2 | mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. | Illusions can obscure it but cannot put out its radiance nor dim its |
| W2:WICR.3 | Creation is the opposite of all | illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of |
| W2:322.1 | I sacrifice | illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the gifts |
| W2:322.1 | I sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as | illusions go, I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me |
| W2:322.1 | illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the gifts | illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome and in |
| W2:WIE.5 | one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light, the altar to | illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will be restored |
| W2:332.1 | The ego makes | illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth |
| W2:334.1 | wait another day to find the treasures which my Father offers me. | Illusions must be vain and dreams are gone, even while they are woven |
| W2:342.1 | 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 returns to |
| M:1.4 | of outcome, for what can change the Will of God? But time, with its | illusions of change and death, wears out the world and all things in |
| M:2.2 | the concept of time which the course sets forth. Atonement corrects | illusions, not the truth. Therefore it corrects what never was. |
| M:4.17 | fully understands that defenses are but the foolish guardians of mad | illusions. The more grotesque the dream, the fiercer and more |
| M:5.10 | not made himself and must remain as God created him. They recognize | illusions can have no effect. The truth in their minds reaches out to |
| M:5.10 | reaches out to the truth in the minds of their brothers, so that | illusions are not reinforced. They are thus brought to truth, and |
| M:6.1 | Healing is always certain. It is impossible to let | illusions be brought to truth and keep the illusions. Truth |
| M:6.1 | It is impossible to let illusions be brought to truth and keep the | illusions. Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The teacher of |

| Tx:8.83 | of death than death is a form of unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is | impossible. You can rest in peace only because you are awake. |
| Tx:8.85 | and that to make mindless is to heal. But to make mindless is | impossible since it would mean to make nothing out of what God |
| Tx:8.88 | I would not ask you to do the things you cannot do, and it is | impossible that I could do things you cannot do. Given this, and |
| Tx:8.91 | It is | impossible to learn anything consistently in a state of panic. If the |
| Tx:8.92 | You have set this strange situation up so that it is completely | impossible to escape from it without a Guide who does know what your |
| Tx:8.94 | that willing is salvation because it is communication. It is | impossible to communicate in alien tongues. You and your Creator can |
| Tx:8.101 | truth. What would you say of someone who persisted in attempting the | impossible, believing that to achieve it is success? The belief that |
| Tx:8.101 | that to achieve it is success? The belief that you must have the | impossible in order to be happy is totally at variance with the |
| Tx:8.102 | It is indeed possible for you to deny facts, although it is | impossible for you to change them. If you hold your hands over your |
| Tx:8.103 | are strong, they will induce panic. Willing against reality, though | impossible, can be made into a very persistent goal, even though you |
| Tx:8.109 | fear. It is possible that His answer will not be heard at all. It is | impossible, however, that it will be lost. There are many answers |
| Tx:8.117 | giving you receive. But to receive is to accept, not to get. It is | impossible not to have, but it is possible not to know you have. The |
| Tx:9.12 | will not work. By following it, you will merely place yourself in an | impossible situation to which the ego always leads you. The ego's |
| Tx:9.18 | you remembered, you could no more have been wrong than God can. The | impossible can happen only in fantasy. When you search for reality in |
| Tx:9.64 | long as your minds are split, and to attack what you have created is | impossible. But remember that it is as impossible for God. The law of |
| Tx:9.64 | what you have created is impossible. But remember that it is as | impossible for God. The law of creation is that you love your |
| Tx:9.67 | wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be | impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at last your |
| Tx:9.77 | it is the belief that power can be taken from you. Yet this is | impossible, because you are part of God, Who is all power. |
| Tx:10.1 | diametrically opposed in all respects so that partial allegiance is | impossible. Remember, too, that their results are as different as |
| Tx:10.36 | is barred and you cannot enter. The door is not barred, and it is | impossible for you to be unable to enter the place where God would |
| Tx:10.50 | could be accomplished, God's purpose could be defeated, and this is | impossible. Only by learning what fear is, can you finally learn to |
| Tx:10.50 | fear is, can you finally learn to distinguish the possible from the | impossible and the false from the true. According to the ego's |
| Tx:10.59 | It is | impossible not to believe what you see, but it is equally impossible |
| Tx:10.59 | It is impossible not to believe what you see, but it is equally | impossible to see what you do not believe. Perceptions are built up |
| Tx:10.90 | Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is | impossible. When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will |
| Tx:11.47 | cannot learn. The learning situation in which you placed yourself is | impossible, and in this situation you clearly require a special |
| Tx:11.75 | The ego is not a traitor to God to Whom treachery is | impossible, but it is a traitor to you who believe you have been |
| Tx:11.99 | for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt, attack is | impossible. You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And |
| Tx:13.1 | and which therefore no one in the world knows. It would indeed be | impossible to be in the world with this knowledge. For the mind that |
| Tx:13.16 | For so you learn that it is true for you. Remember always that it is | impossible to condemn the Son of God in part. Those whom you see as |
| Tx:13.39 | every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is | impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent what God would |
| Tx:13.63 | of its simplicity is so compelling that you will realize it is | impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is nothing else. God |
| Tx:13.69 | does it not will make no difference; you will think he does. It is | impossible to offer what you do not want without this penalty. The |
| Tx:13.74 | them and gives them what they will without effort, strain, or the | impossible burden of deciding what they want and need alone. |
| Tx:13.79 | forget the love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite | impossible that He could ever let His Son drop from His loving mind |
| Tx:13.80 | God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes | impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all |
| Tx:14.1 | God Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and learn how | impossible this is! Do not endow Him with attributes you understand. |
| Tx:14.26 | viewpoints of what the “unknowing” are. To God, unknowing is | impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a |
| Tx:14.27 | if they were brought together their joint acceptance would become | impossible. But if one is kept in darkness from the other, their |
| Tx:14.34 | in the communication that God Himself wills with His Son is quite | impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly |
| Tx:14.39 | can no longer stand. How long can contradiction stand when its | impossible nature is clearly revealed? What disappears in light is |
| Tx:14.48 | from elsewhere, not from here. From the world's viewpoint, this is | impossible. You have experienced lack of competition among your |
| Tx:14.54 | meaning, and the underlying lack of content makes a cohesive system | impossible. Separation therefore remains the ego's chosen condition. |
| Tx:14.55 | It is | impossible to remember God in secret and alone. For remembering Him |
| Tx:14.61 | for it is nothing more than a condition in which seeing becomes | impossible. You who have not yet brought all of the darkness you have |
| Tx:14.67 | He cannot compel His Son to turn to Him and remain Himself. It is | impossible that God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose |
| Tx:14.68 | so to remain, establish for yourself your guiltlessness? That is | impossible. But be sure that you are willing to acknowledge that it |
| Tx:14.68 | But be sure that you are willing to acknowledge that it is | impossible. It is only because you think that you can run some little |
| Tx:14.75 | as it is His. You think you know Him not only because, alone, it is | impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He will do |
| Tx:14.75 | you, and you must be convinced you did them through Him. It is | impossible to deny the Source of effects so powerful they could not |
| Tx:15.42 | hidden shuts communication off because you would have it so. It is | impossible to recognize perfect communication while breaking |
| Tx:15.45 | past experience is the basis on which you judge. Judgment becomes | impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand |
| Tx:15.54 | God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it is | impossible to understand it. Every brother God loves as He loves you |
| Tx:15.56 | It is | impossible to use one relationship at the expense of another and not |
| Tx:15.56 | at the expense of another and not suffer guilt. And it is equally | impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace within |
| Tx:15.60 | In the world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is | impossible. For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is |
| Tx:15.61 | Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is | impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In this instant, |
| Tx:15.66 | It is | impossible for the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, |
| Tx:15.71 | accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes | impossible, for the ego believes that to forgive another is to lose |
| Tx:15.77 | this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what seems | impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not |
| Tx:15.77 | seems impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not | impossible. In the holy instant, guilt holds no attraction, since |
| Tx:15.84 | because it is His function. Leave, then, what seems to you to be | impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the |
| Tx:15.86 | at all the interference and seeing it exactly as it is. For it is | impossible to recognize as wholly without gratification what you |
| Tx:15.86 | more than attempts to limit communication and thereby to make it | impossible. For communication must be unlimited in order to have |
| Tx:15.88 | It is | impossible to divide your strength between Heaven and hell, God and |
| Tx:15.89 | and quiet in such sure and loving relationships that any limit is | impossible. Would you not exchange your little relationships for |
| Tx:15.106 | you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It is | impossible to deny what love is and still recognize it. The meaning |
| Tx:16.11 | Therefore, your understanding cannot be necessary. Yet it is still | impossible to accomplish what you do not understand. And so there |
| Tx:16.12 | show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles is quite | impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what miracles mean. |
| Tx:16.13 | understand it and you to use His understanding on your behalf. It is | impossible to convince you of the reality of what has clearly been |
| Tx:16.23 | not also show you that you do not regard yourself as one? For it is | impossible to teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is |
| Tx:16.23 | to teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is equally | impossible that conviction be outside of you. You could never have |
| Tx:16.30 | hate relationship, for freedom lies in looking at it. It would be | impossible not to know the meaning of love except for this. For the |
| Tx:16.36 | love's condition, the special love relationship would accomplish the | impossible. How but in illusion could this be done? It is essential |
| Tx:16.58 | that God is on the other side and nothing at all is here. It is | impossible not to make the natural decision as this is realized. |
| Tx:16.59 | has no meaning except as its Creator defined it by His Will. It is | impossible to define it otherwise and understand it. |
| Tx:16.70 | It is | impossible to let the past go without relinquishing the special |
| Tx:16.77 | Will to give. He gave the holy instant to be given you, and it is | impossible that you receive it not, because He gave it. When He |
| Tx:16.80 | all problems, be they perceived as great or small, possible or | impossible. There is nothing that will not give place to Him and to |
| Tx:17.1 | his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really done. It is | impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for dreams are |
| Tx:17.18 | once. Once it is formed, doubt must enter in because its purpose is | impossible. The only such relationships which retain the fantasies |
| Tx:17.28 | In this world it is | impossible to create, yet it is possible to make happy. We have said |
| Tx:17.54 | each other, for the attack must blind you to yourself. And it is | impossible to deny yourself and recognize what has been given and |
| Tx:17.59 | outcome set in advance makes understanding doubtful and evaluation | impossible. |
| Tx:17.65 | is no shift in any aspect of the problem but will make solution | impossible. For if you shift part of the problem elsewhere, the |
| Tx:17.65 | are judged to be in conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is | impossible. Some idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot |
| Tx:18.3 | The one emotion in which substitution is | impossible is love. Fear involves substitution by definition, for it |
| Tx:18.4 | subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is now almost | impossible to perceive it once was one and still is what it was. That |
| Tx:18.26 | walks beside you on this way which you have chosen, fear would be | impossible. You do not know because the journey into darkness has |
| Tx:18.35 | in thinking that it is needful to prepare yourself for Him. It is | impossible to make arrogant preparations for holiness and not believe |
| Tx:18.40 | your decision to make everything that is natural and easy for you | impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if God so wills |
| Tx:18.40 | that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you believe to be | impossible will be if God so wills it, but you will remain quite |
| Tx:18.44 | it otherwise.” The alignment of means and purpose is an undertaking | impossible for you to understand. You do not even realize you have |
| Tx:18.46 | The power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is now | impossible for either of you to experience fear alone or to attempt |
| Tx:18.46 | believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is | impossible, so is it equally impossible that the holy instant come to |
| Tx:18.46 | or even possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally | impossible that the holy instant come to either of you without the |
| Tx:18.54 | its attack and blaming it for what you wished it to do. It is | impossible to act out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you |
| Tx:18.66 | It is | impossible to accept the holy instant without reservation unless just |
| Tx:19.4 | you have established a condition in which uniting with him becomes | impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from him and |
| Tx:19.5 | dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is | impossible. Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the absence of |
| Tx:19.6 | 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 body, |
| Tx:19.19 | for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole idea of sin, it is | impossible. For the wages of sin is death, and how can the immortal |
| Tx:19.22 | to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to truth. It is | impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is |
| Tx:19.23 | is its reality; this is the “truth” from which escape will always be | impossible. This is his past, his present, and his future. For he has |
| Tx:19.31 | is extension, the Creator must have extended Himself, and it is | impossible that what is part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If |
| Tx:19.33 | holy relationship has as its purpose now the goal of proving this is | impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the belief in sin has been |
| Tx:19.38 | the gift of holiness, without which it would have been forever | impossible to appreciate each other. |
| Tx:19.71 | It is | impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain. |
| Tx:19.75 | Hear not its madness, and believe not the | impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to |
| Tx:19.79 | This is not arrogance. It is the Will of God. What is | impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? What is death to you? |
| Tx:20.26 | on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us become | impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made free in |
| Tx:20.35 | must be done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems | impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God would |
| Tx:20.39 | It is | impossible to overestimate your brother's value. Only the ego does |
| Tx:20.44 | He looks upon himself not as his Father knows him. And yet it is | impossible the confidence of God should be misplaced. |
| Tx:20.58 | This need not be. This course requires almost nothing of you. It is | impossible to imagine one that asks so little or could offer more. |
| Tx:20.60 | we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think they are | impossible, your wanting of the purpose has been shaken. For if a |
| Tx:20.61 | It is | impossible to see your brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as |
| Tx:20.61 | so what was always true is recognized. To see a sinless body is | impossible, for holiness is positive, and the body is merely neutral. |
| Tx:21.17 | It is | impossible the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. |
| Tx:21.17 | the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is | impossible that the happenings that come to him were not his choice. |
| Tx:21.31 | that they can hold him and placing it in his freedom instead. It is | impossible to place equal faith in opposite directions. What faith |
| Tx:21.33 | It is | impossible that the Son of God lack faith, but he can choose where he |
| Tx:21.60 | have no effect at all on what is yours? If minds are joined, this is | impossible. |
| Tx:21.72 | have not joined each other. For had they done so, hatred would be | impossible. The army of the powerless must be disbanded in the |
| Tx:21.73 | else. How treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes so it is | impossible even to recognize him! |
| Tx:21.81 | But truth is constant and implies a state where vacillations are | impossible. You can desire a world you rule which rules you not, and |
| Tx:22.6 | hard you tried to understand its messages. You did not realize it is | impossible to understand what fails entirely to reach you. |
| Tx:22.20 | make of it is not the same. The ego will assure you now that it is | impossible for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if this vision is |
| Tx:22.20 | Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be | impossible, the means for its attainment are more than possible. They |
| Tx:22.21 | their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be | impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever |
| Tx:22.26 | Only your thoughts have been | impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to look upon your |
| Tx:22.26 | Only your thoughts have been impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is | impossible to look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. |
| Tx:22.37 | is attracted to him to perpetuate his sins. And so it must become | impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his desire to |
| Tx:22.47 | Him? It is your Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains | impossible to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended |
| Tx:22.52 | to serve illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so | impossible that anyone who chooses this has no idea of what is |
| Tx:22.53 | another, using your bodies only to serve the sinless. And it will be | impossible for you to hate what serves what you would heal. |
| Tx:22.62 | to attack in safety? Attack is neither safe nor dangerous. It is | impossible. And this is so because the universe is one. You would not |
| 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:23.7 | of peace, and what the warlike would remember is not love. War is | impossible unless belief in victory is cherished. Conflict within you |
| Tx:23.9 | Be certain that it is | impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You |
| Tx:23.25 | fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it becomes | impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has become |
| Tx:23.25 | inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now salvation must remain | impossible because the savior has become the enemy. |
| Tx:23.37 | equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in Heaven is | impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of |
| Tx:23.37 | Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, | impossible, and beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal |
| Tx:23.43 | has been accepted, for compromise is the belief salvation is | impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little, love a little, |
| Tx:23.44 | salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that salvation is | impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has come. |
| Tx:23.44 | assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus does it become | impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining before |
| Tx:23.54 | the same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They know it is | impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. |
| Tx:24.4 | never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are | impossible. But an unrecognized belief is a decision to war in |
| Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is | impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it |
| Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is release from all illusions, and that is why it is | impossible but partly to forgive. No one who clings to one illusion |
| Tx:24.36 | is difficult to grasp as yet. To minds intent on specialness, it is | impossible. Yet to those who wish to heal and not attack, it is quite |
| Tx:25.61 | for all insane beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be | impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which salvation |
| Tx:25.64 | called upon to do what one divided still against himself would find | impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such a |
| Tx:25.67 | just is to be fair and not be vengeful. Fairness and vengeance are | impossible, for each one contradicts the other and denies that it is |
| Tx:25.67 | for each one contradicts the other and denies that it is real. It is | impossible for you to share the Holy Spirit's justice with a mind |
| Tx:25.74 | love is justice prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is | impossible. For love is fair and cannot chasten without cause. What |
| Tx:25.75 | witness to the power of love and justice if you understand it is | impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not |
| Tx:25.80 | to it and made it greater, harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is | impossible the Holy Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To |
| Tx:25.81 | The sight of innocence makes punishment | impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no |
| Tx:26.21 | lies the difference between the worlds. In this one, choice is made | impossible. In the real world is choosing simplified. |
| Tx:26.51 | It is | impossible that one illusion be less amenable to truth than are the |
| Tx:26.57 | And this He guaranteed when He created him as everything. It is | impossible that anything be lost if what you have is what you are. |
| Tx:26.69 | you still believe you are external to each other. This makes trust | impossible. And you cannot believe that trust would settle every |
| Tx:27.37 | now. Yet it must also be that in your state of mind solution is | impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to |
| Tx:27.90 | learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one thing that is | impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they both be true. |
| Tx:28.18 | his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For this | impossible desire, he does not believe that he is Love's effect and |
| Tx:29.1 | least and littlest gap would represent in His eternal love is quite | impossible. For it would mean His love could harbor just a hint of |
| Tx:29.10 | on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so clearly marked it is | impossible to lose the way, seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult |
| Tx:29.57 | and place and time are given form and shape the world where the | impossible has happened. Here the deathless come to die, the |
| Tx:30.73 | keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is just, it seems | impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God the sure |
| Tx:30.86 | shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this become | impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize and |
| Tx:31.1 | says is what was never true is not true now and never will be. The | impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And that is all. |
| Tx:31.39 | to be found. If this be difficult to understand, then is this course | impossible to learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a simple |
| Tx:31.66 | will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be | impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change. One vision, |
| Tx:31.68 | lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust becomes | impossible. Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad” in you. |
| W1:4.2 | sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight and make seeing | impossible. You do not want either. |
| W1:13.1 | specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless world is | impossible. Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not |
| W1:14.1 | idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is | impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And everything |
| W1:16.3 | brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A neutral result is | impossible because a neutral thought is impossible. There is such a |
| W1:16.3 | or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral thought is | impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear thoughts as |
| W1:45.4 | the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is | impossible. |
| W1:47.8 | there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is | impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. |
| W1:52.2 | because I see what is not there. Reality is never frightening. It is | impossible that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect peace. |
| W1:54.2 | [16] I have no neutral thoughts. Neutral thoughts are | impossible, because all thoughts have power. They will either make a |
| W1:64.6 | you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of content. It is | impossible that any decision on earth can have a content different |
| W1:74.2 | it cannot give rise to illusions. Without illusions, conflict is | impossible. Let us try to recognize this today and experience the |
| W1:79.5 | forms, and with such varied content that they confront you with an | impossible situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable as you |
| W1:90.5 | will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is | impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved |
| W1:91.4 | How can this be reversed? For you it is | impossible, but you are not alone in this. Your efforts, however |
| W1:93.1 | rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this being | impossible. |
| W1:95.1 | is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you | impossible. You do not accept this and you fail to realize it must be |
| W1:99.1 | from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the | impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict now |
| W1:99.2 | Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The | impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation |
| W1:105.2 | The truly given gift entails no loss. It is | impossible that one can gain because another loses. This implies a |
| W1:107.7 | not hide. It stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is | impossible that anyone could seek it truly and would not succeed. |
| W1:R3.1 | just as closely as you can. We understand, of course, that it may be | impossible for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal |
| W1:R3.2 | will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is | impossible at the appointed time. Nor is it necessary that you make |
| W1:127.2 | that love can change. He does not see that changing love must be | impossible. And thus he thinks that he can love at times and hate at |
| W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to find a world instead where losing is | impossible, where love endures forever, hate cannot exist, and |
| W1:130.5 | them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot be found. It is | impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek |
| W1:130.9 | It is | impossible to see two worlds. Let me accept the strength God offers |
| W1:130.13 | It is | impossible to see two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance, and |
| W1:134.4 | think your sins are real, you look on pardon as deception. For it is | impossible to think of sin as true and not believe forgiveness is a |

| W1:137.3 | It is | impossible that anyone be healed alone. In sickness must he be apart |

| M:4.16 | inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is now | impossible, and what could come to interfere with joy? The open hands |

| M:7.4 | love, regardless of the form it takes. Doubt not the gift, and it is | impossible to doubt its result. This is the certainty that gives |

| M:10.3 | learning, is the recognition that judgment in the usual sense is | impossible. This is not an opinion, but a fact. In order to judge |
| M:11.1 | This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be | impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem |
| M:11.1 | be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem | impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised peace. It has also |
| M:11.1 | us that peace is possible here, and what He promises can hardly be | impossible. But it is true that the world must be looked at |
| M:11.4 | Peace is | impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who |
| M:11.4 | of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace seem | impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has God's |
| M:11.4 | that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that is | impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted world redeemed |
| M:11.4 | “Can peace be possible in this world?” but instead, “Is it not | impossible that peace be absent here?” |
| M:12.5 | is. He does not suffer either in going or remaining. Sickness is now | impossible to him. |
| M:13.3 | Once this confusion has occurred, it becomes | impossible for the mind to understand that all the “pleasures” of the |
| M:13.7 | anything. For it is here the split with God occurs. A split that is | impossible. A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you |
| M:13.7 | you surely will believe, because you have set up a situation that is | impossible. And in this situation the impossible can seem to happen. |
| M:13.7 | set up a situation that is impossible. And in this situation the | impossible can seem to happen. It seems to happen at the “sacrifice” |
| M:17.6 | battle. Accept it as a fact, and then forget it. Do not remember the | impossible odds against you. Do not remember the immensity of the |
| M:17.9 | certain witness that you do believe in it as fact. Now is escape | impossible until you see you have responded to your own |
| M:18.1 | it is their task to escape from what is real. And this can only be | impossible. Reality is changeless. Magic thoughts are but illusions. |
| M:18.1 | but illusions. Otherwise salvation would be only the same age-old | impossible dream in but another form. Yet the dream of salvation has |

| Tx:8.25 | in Him. Yet He is all in all. His peace is complete, and you must be | included in it. His laws govern you, because they govern everything. |
| Tx:8.35 | union, you are perceiving the Holy Trinity as separated. You must be | included in It, because It is everything. Unless you take your place |
| Tx:10.45 | arrogance to Him, Who wills not to be independent of you. He has | included you in His Autonomy. Can you believe that autonomy is |
| Tx:21.54 | no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your will must be | included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His Will and |
| W1:19.5 | no longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be | included as a reminder. Do not forget, however, that random selection |
| W1:42.9 | system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and nothing is | included that is contradictory or irrelevant. |
| W1:R1.2 | Begin the day by reading the five ideas, with the comments | included. Thereafter, it is not necessary to follow any particular |
| W1:R2.2 | and begin by thinking about the idea and the comments which are | included in the assignments. Devote about three or four minutes to |
| W1:R2.5 | and a more specific form when needed. Some specific forms will be | included in the comments. These, however, are merely suggestions. It |
| W1:121.9 | one, we will extend the lesson to yourself and see that their escape | included yours. |

| Tx:4.35 | powers which the ego ascribes to itself. Every mythological system | includes some account of “the creation” and associates this with its |

| Tx:7.54 | mind of the thinker, and they will affect his total perception. That | includes his perception of God, of His creations, and of his own. He |
| Tx:7.92 | equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a totality which | includes God, and any totality must include God. Everything He |
| Tx:7.95 | They are there as part of your own being, because your fulfillment | includes them. The creations of every Son of God are yours since |
| Tx:7.113 | your Father, you will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God | includes all His Sons and their children, who are like the Sons as |
| W1:31.1 | and more, with changes as indicated. Generally speaking, the form | includes two aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more |

| M:19.2 | becomes possible because, while it is not true in itself, justice | includes nothing that opposes truth. There is no inherent conflict |
including (13) | ||
| Tx:2.9 | Third, the belief that man can distort the creations of God, | including himself, is accepted. |
| Tx:3.16 | This kind of error is responsible for a host of related errors | including the belief that God rejected man and forced him out of the |
| Tx:4.63 | problem is not one of concentration; it is the belief that no one, | including yourself, is worth consistent effort. Side with me |
| Tx:4.98 | in which the mind is in communication with everything that is real, | including the Soul. To whatever extent you permit this state to be |
| Tx:7.97 | by extension. The miracle is a lesson in total perception. By | including any part of totality in the lesson, you have included the |
| Tx:8.23 | one suffer. He does not will anyone to suffer for a wrong decision, | including you. That is why He has given you the means for undoing it. |
| Tx:8.34 | you do not love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison anyone, | including yourself, you do not love him, and you cannot identify with |
| Tx:8.97 | the latter for the martyr. Martyrdom takes many forms, the category | including all doctrines which hold that God demands sacrifices of any |
| Tx:14.31 | anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, | including yours, comes not from double vision but from the gentle |
| Tx:14.65 | I do not know what anything, | including this, means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And |
| Tx:24.21 | your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything | including you. |
| W1:57.6 | kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of all living things | including myself, and their oneness with me. |
| W1:83.7 | and my function remains wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, | including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my |
inclusion (9) | ||
| Tx:1.59 | The specialness of God's Sons does not stem from exclusion but from | inclusion. All my brothers are special. If they believe they are |
| Tx:6.29 | Instead of anger, this arouses love for both because it establishes | inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal |
| Tx:6.30 | you are and what you are. It is completely unalterable. It is total | inclusion. You cannot change it now or ever. It is forever true. It |
| Tx:6.30 | create[s] is as true as He is. Its truth lies only in its perfect | inclusion in Him, Who alone is perfect. To deny this in any way is to |
| Tx:6.32 | you can find joy for yourself alone. Prayer is the restatement of | inclusion, directed by the Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God |
| Tx:6.95 | needs no protection. It is in the perfect safety of God. Therefore | inclusion is total and creation is without limit. |
| Tx:14.11 | no end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe | inclusion in what is for all in everyone you bring within its safety |
| W1:9.7 | It is emphasized again that while complete | inclusion should not be attempted, specific exclusion must be |
| W1:43.7 | the subjects for this phase indiscriminately, without self-directed | inclusion or exclusion. |

| Tx:24.4 | and swift to challenge you to combat and to violence far more | inclusive than you think, are there by your election. Do not deny |
| Tx:27.87 | The Holy Spirit will repeat this one | inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has been learned, regardless |
| Tx:31.93 | hell within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so | inclusive it is but a step from there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I |
| Tx:31.96 | earth to Heaven grows from tiny scattered threads of melody to one | inclusive chorus from a world redeemed from hell and giving thanks to |
| W1:152.2 | You may believe that this position is extreme and too | inclusive to be true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the |

| Tx:23.48 | What can be equal to the truth yet different? Murder and love are | incompatible. Yet if they both are true, then must they be the same |
| Tx:27.1 | that would combine attack and innocence. Who can combine the wholly | incompatible and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you the |
| W1:135.18 | aim is to select what you approve and disregard what you consider | incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what remains is |
incomplete (28) | ||
| Tx:4.6 | between the ego and the Soul, so that whatever the ego makes is | incomplete and contradictory. This untenable position is the result |
| Tx:4.100 | your part in the creation, His joy is not complete because yours is | incomplete. And this He does know. He knows it in His own Being and |
| Tx:5.48 | guilt feelings do not help anyone. This distinction is wise though | incomplete. Let us make the distinction a little sharper now. |
| Tx:6.92 | it was created by the Immeasurable, the learning itself must be | incomplete. To teach the whole Sonship without exception demonstrates |
| Tx:9.37 | Everything else would be totally meaningless. God's meaning is | incomplete without you, and you are incomplete without your |
| Tx:9.37 | meaningless. God's meaning is incomplete without you, and you are | incomplete without your creations. Accept your brother in this world |

| Tx:15.104 | and giving it the attributes of hell without experiencing himself as | incomplete and lonely? |
| Tx:19.1 | be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and your dedication | incomplete. |
| Tx:19.18 | ego's grandiosity. For by it, God Himself is changed and rendered | incomplete. |
| Tx:21.6 | everything they think is in it serves to remind them that they are | incomplete and bitterly deprived. |
| Tx:21.44 | Your liberation still is only partial—still limited and | incomplete, yet born within you. Not wholly mad, you have been |
| Tx:21.88 | not desire it while he remains uncertain, and God's giving must be | incomplete unless it is received. |
| Tx:24.50 | Without you there would be a lack in God, a Heaven | incomplete, a Son without a Father. There could be no universe and no |
| Tx:26.3 | all the rest. And all the rest must lose this little part, remaining | incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this perception of |
| Tx:26.61 | sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son made | incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor recognize |

| W1:R5.10 | would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am | incomplete without your part in me. And as I am made whole, we go |

| Tx:22.8 | that this is no secret that need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake | indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from correction, for the |
| Tx:22.15 | confidence, for faith in one another is always faith in Him. You are | indeed correct in looking on each other as His chosen home, for here |
| Tx:22.18 | eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be sure | indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really fear. |

| Tx:23.2 | How strange | indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that |
| Tx:23.22 | The second law of chaos, dear | indeed to every worshiper of sin, is that each one must sin and |
| Tx:24.64 | make your specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be lost | indeed. Be thankful, rather, it is given you to see his holiness |
| Tx:25.3 | body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick | indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose |
| Tx:25.60 | must gain because another lost. If this were true, then God is mad | indeed! But what is this belief except a form of the more basic |

| Tx:26.3 | In this perception of yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice | indeed. For sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is |
| Tx:26.30 | A little hindrance can seem large | indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same. |

| Tx:26.87 | the Son of God. You have no enemy except yourself, and you are enemy | indeed to him because you do not know him as yourself. What could be |
| Tx:27.27 | what your function is. If He upheld divided function, you were lost | indeed. His inability to see His goal divided and distinct for each |

| W1:133.4 | can make alternatives from which to choose. The choosing you can do; | indeed you must. But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion |

| Tx:6.74 | Upside-down as always, the ego perceives the first lesson as | insane. In fact this is its only alternative here since the other |
| Tx:6.74 | would be much less acceptable to it, would obviously be that it is | insane. The ego's judgment, then, is predetermined by what it is, |

| Tx:9.95 | god demands because, having made him out of your insanity, he is an | insane idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem like many |
| Tx:9.102 | To interfere with you would be to attack Himself, and God is not | insane. When you denied Him, you were insane. Would you have Him |
| Tx:9.102 | attack Himself, and God is not insane. When you denied Him, you were | insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God will never cease |
| Tx:10.1 | Either God or the ego is | insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you |
| Tx:10.2 | you made your own father. Make no mistake about this. It sounds | insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego never |
| Tx:10.2 | never looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is its | insane premise, which is carefully hidden in the dark cornerstone of |
| Tx:10.52 | this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not | insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he will |
| Tx:10.52 | Let him but recognize it, and he will not accept it. For only the | insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could |
| Tx:10.52 | For only the insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the | insane could believe that love can be gained by attack. But the sane |
| Tx:10.56 | its witnesses are consistent. The case for insanity is strong to the | insane. For reasoning ends at its beginning, and no thought system |
| Tx:11.29 | and he always tries to handle it by making some sort of | insane “arrangement” with the world. He always perceives this world |
| Tx:11.30 | Son are the world's reality, the real world must be in his mind. His | insane thoughts, too, must be in his mind, but an internal conflict |
| Tx:11.81 | only in a mind that wills to remember and that has relinquished the | insane desire to control reality. You who cannot even control |
| Tx:11.85 | has obscured the Father to you, and it is guilt that has driven you | insane. |
| Tx:11.86 | are deserted. They appear to lose what they love, perhaps the most | insane belief of all. And their bodies wither and gasp and are laid |
| Tx:11.98 | believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to the | insane notion that attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt |
| Tx:12.3 | condemning him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but | insane idea lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so |
| Tx:12.14 | You have built your whole | insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in God's |
| Tx:12.22 | creation, He could not take it from you. He could but answer your | insane request with a sane answer which would abide with you in your |
| Tx:12.22 | illusions from which you can look back on them and see them as | insane. But seek this place, and you will find it, for love is in you |
| Tx:12.33 | differs greatly. Yet they have one thing in common—they are all | insane. They are made of sights which are not seen and sounds which |

| Tx:13.21 | Insane ideas have no real relationships, for that is why they are | insane. No real relationship can rest on guilt or even hold one spot |
| Tx:13.25 | is a reason for it. For you must learn that guilt is always totally | insane and has no reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel |
| Tx:13.27 | looked upon him as condemned. The moment that you realize guilt is | insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you will not |
| Tx:13.47 | and as well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are not | insane. They take a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly |
| Tx:13.50 | system is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an | insane world, and do not underestimate the actual extent of its |
| Tx:13.51 | in the world to teach him that the logic of the world is totally | insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made this insane logic, |
| Tx:13.51 | is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made this | insane logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing, for He |
| Tx:13.91 | trying to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and | insane attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with your God |
| Tx:14.25 | fear. Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your | insane system of belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know |
| Tx:14.59 | to imprison the Son of God, a lesson so unthinkable that only the | insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can God learn how |
| Tx:15.68 | special relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one | insane belief—that the more anger you invest outside yourself, the |
| Tx:15.71 | In these | insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not want seems to |
| Tx:15.75 | believe that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly | insane to believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And |
| Tx:16.65 | love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer wholly | insane, and you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for what |
| Tx:16.67 | to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly | insane could look on death and suffering, sickness and despair and |
| Tx:16.72 | for vengeance on the past. It is completely savage and completely | insane. For the ego remembers everything that you have done which |
| Tx:16.73 | relationship, you are allowing your destruction to be. That this is | insane is obvious. But what is less obvious to you is that the |
| Tx:16.75 | Against the ego's | insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy |
| Tx:17.16 | vengeance, and all relationships into which they enter are totally | insane. Without exception, these relationships have as their purpose |
| Tx:17.31 | its reason as it sees it. It does not realize that it is totally | insane. And you must realize just what this means if you would be |
| Tx:17.31 | realize just what this means if you would be restored to sanity. The | insane protect their thought systems, but they do so insanely. And |
| Tx:17.31 | systems, but they do so insanely. And all their defenses are as | insane as what they are supposed to protect. The separation has |
| Tx:17.31 | nothing in it, no part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not | insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the whole. |
| Tx:17.31 | attribute that is not insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as | insane as the whole. The special relationship, which is its chief |
| Tx:17.31 | special relationship, which is its chief defense, must therefore be | insane. |
| Tx:17.32 | delusions. You recognize, at least in general terms, that the ego is | insane. Yet the special relationship still seems to you somehow to be |
| Tx:17.48 | has sanity as its purpose. For now you find yourselves in an | insane relationship, recognized as such in the light of its goal. |
| Tx:17.49 | Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not now wholly | insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit statement? |
| Tx:17.73 | Him Who walks with you in every situation. You are no longer wholly | insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a dream. |
| Tx:18.8 | you gently back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your | insane projections and your wild substitutions which you have placed |
| Tx:18.19 | the same. They are your protest against reality and your fixed and | insane idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the |
| Tx:18.54 | It is | insane to use the body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its |
| Tx:18.86 | they are meaningless. From the world of bodies, made by insanity, | insane messages seem to be returned to the mind which made it. And |
| Tx:18.88 | based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the | insane attacks, the fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were made to |
| Tx:19.17 | correction, and the belief that punishment is correction is clearly | insane. |
| Tx:19.20 | A major tenet in the ego's | insane religion is that sin is not error but truth, and it is |
| Tx:19.30 | what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged | insane. The only power which could change perception is thus kept |
| Tx:19.31 | be split and torn between good and evil—partly sane and partially | insane. For He must have created what wills to destroy Him and has |
| Tx:19.46 | The little | insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out |
| Tx:19.72 | all of the ego's heavy investment in the body. And it is this | insane relationship which it keeps hidden and yet feeds upon. To you |
| Tx:19.80 | Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the | insane, dedicated to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One |
| Tx:19.82 | idea of corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this | insane idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore |
| Tx:20.24 | meaning of your unholy relationship and adjusted it according to its | insane answer. How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to |
| Tx:20.30 | Your | insane laws were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and |
| Tx:21.19 | you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This witness is | insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it gave it back to |
| Tx:21.48 | follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's | insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This has no meaning. |
| Tx:21.55 | see because the witnesses on its behalf are clear. Only the totally | insane can disregard them, and you have gone past this. Reason is a |
| Tx:21.56 | uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The partially | insane have access to it, and only they have need of it. Knowledge |
| Tx:21.62 | place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the will of the | insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they |
| Tx:21.62 | madness if it be the will of the insane to listen to it. But the | insane know not their will. For they believe they see the body and |
| Tx:21.63 | separate you from your brother, and if you think it does, you are | insane. But madness has a purpose and believes it also has the means |
| Tx:21.63 | as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined must be | insane. Nor could you see it if you heard the voice of reason. What |
| Tx:21.89 | to the others has made it possible to help you be but partially | insane. And yet it is the final one that really asks if you are |
| Tx:23.12 | true. And so it matters not what form they take. What made them is | insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness holds out no |
| Tx:23.31 | what they mean. That is apparent. The means of madness must be | insane. Are you as certain that you realize the goal is madness? |
| Tx:25.53 | to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not | insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could |
| Tx:25.54 | foundation of the world you see to something else—a basis not | insane on which a sane perception can be based, another world |
| Tx:25.55 | else. What is not love is sin, and either one perceives the other as | insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as |
| Tx:25.55 | sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally | insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond |
| Tx:25.56 | function is the special form in which the fact that God is not | insane appears most sensible and meaningful to you. The content is |
| Tx:25.56 | the form of sanity which makes it most acceptable to those who are | insane requires special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the |
| Tx:25.56 | insane requires special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the | insane, whose problem is their choices are not free and made with |
| Tx:25.57 | It would be madness to entrust salvation to the | insane. Because He is not mad has God appointed One as sane as He to |
| Tx:25.60 | that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must be | insane. For in this world, it seems that one must gain because |
| Tx:25.60 | this and understand that it must be that either God or this must be | insane, but hardly both. |
| Tx:25.61 | perfect confidence and perfect peace. Reason is satisfied, for all | insane beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be impossible if |

| W1:135.3 | The world is based on this | insane belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, |

| W1:163.7 | The idea of the death of God is so preposterous that even the | insane have difficulty in believing it. For it implies that God was |

| W1:170.7 | sensible or even sane. It is their enemies who are unreasonable and | insane, while they are always merciful and just. |
| W1:170.11 | Where does the totally | insane belief in gods of vengeance come from? Love has not confused |
| W1:190.1 | Father's hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He sees in him, and His | insane desire for revenge and death. Can such projections be attested |
| W1:190.4 | Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such | insane ideas. There is no need to think of them as savage crimes or |

| W1:195.2 | It is insane to offer thanks because of suffering. But it is equally | insane to fail in gratitude to One Who offers you the certain means |
| W1:195.9 | future. Gratitude becomes the single thought we substitute for these | insane perceptions. God has cared for us and calls us Son. Can there |
| W1:196.1 | to attack another is but to attack yourself. You will be free of the | insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you will |
| W1:199.3 | and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is quite | insane. The ego holds the body dear because it dwells in it and lives |
| W2:I.9 | Himself and be what we would make of Him. And we believed that our | insane desires were the truth. Now we are glad that this is all |
| W2:WIW.2 | Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such | insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now |
| W2:259.2 | Father, I would not be | insane today. I would not be afraid of love nor seek for refuge in |
| W2:282.1 | would be reached for all the world. This the decision not to be | insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, |
| W2:325.1 | looked upon, esteemed as real, and guarded as one's own. From | insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world |
| W2:325.1 | as real, and guarded as one's own. From insane wishes comes an | insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from |
| W2:WIE.2 | The ego is | insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in |

| Tx:7.5 | as He did. Only joy increases forever, since joy and eternity are | inseparable. God extends outward beyond limits and beyond time, and |
| Tx:15.98 | hides behind them all—that love demands sacrifice and is therefore | inseparable from attack and fear. And that guilt is the price of |

| Tx:7.14 | Outside the Kingdom, the law which prevails | inside it is adapted to “what you project you believe.” This is its |
| Tx:18.79 | your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to come | inside and shine upon the barren ground. See how life springs up |

| Tx:19.37 | As this peace extends from deep | inside yourselves to embrace all the Sonship and give it rest, it |

insight (1) | ||

insignificant (3) | ||

| Tx:11.27 | of you, and every request of a brother is for you. Why would you | insist in denying him? For to do so is to deny yourself and |
| Tx:18.39 | instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult because you | insist there must be more that you need do. [You find it difficult to |
| Tx:18.68 | using to save you time. You are not making use of the course if you | insist on using means which have served others well, neglecting what |

| W1:61.2 | your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to | insist that you cannot be the light of the world if that is the |

| Tx:8.77 | tell you how you feel. Sickness is merely another example of your | insistence on asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the |
| Tx:11.25 | do something you think you do not want to do. The very fact of his | insistence should tell you that he believes salvation lies in it. If |
| Tx:11.25 | mistake that he is and are making his error real to both of you. | Insistence means investment, and what you invest in is always related |
| Tx:11.36 | one promise it will keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic | insistence, and its reality testing, though severely impaired, is |
| Tx:15.7 | ego's use of time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical | insistence that the past and future be the same is hidden a far more |
| Tx:20.40 | of Christ and yet insist that judgment still has meaning? For this | insistence is of those who do not see. Vision or judgment is your |
| Tx:21.48 | in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's insane | insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This has no meaning. What |
insistent (1) | ||

insisting (2) | ||
| Tx:29.43 | all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, | insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there? Do you |
| W1:186.1 | you. It offers your acceptance of a part assigned to you, without | insisting on another role. It does not judge your proper role. It but |
insists (4) | ||
| Tx:11.25 | Suppose a brother | insists on having you do something you think you do not want to do. |
| Tx:12.1 | split of all occurs, for if you are to retain guilt as the ego | insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is you, |
| Tx:27.12 | you were sure you knew its purpose was to foster guilt. For this | insists your crippled picture is a lasting sign of what it |
| W1:72.6 | indeed to escape this conclusion. And every grievance that you hold | insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your |
inspiration (10) | ||
| Tx:4.1 | can lead only to mutual progress. The result of genuine devotion is | inspiration, a word which properly understood is the opposite of |
| Tx:5.10 | of God's creations, my right thinking, which came from the Universal | Inspiration which is the Holy Spirit, taught me first and foremost |
| Tx:5.10 | which is the Holy Spirit, taught me first and foremost that this | Inspiration is for all. I could not have It myself without knowing |
| Tx:5.11 | The word “know” is proper in this context because the Holy | Inspiration is so close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or |
| Tx:5.13 | The Holy Spirit, the shared | Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which |
| Tx:7.31 | is both an art and a science. It is an art, because it depends on | inspiration in the sense that we have already used the term. |
| Tx:7.31 | on inspiration in the sense that we have already used the term. | Inspiration is the opposite of dispiriting and therefore means to |
| Tx:7.32 | Science is nothing more than an approach to what already is. Like | inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and will be whenever it |
| Tx:7.33 | Truth can only be recognized and need only be recognized. | Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty is of God according to |
| Tx:7.33 | to His laws. Both, therefore, come from the same Source, [because] | inspiration comes from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from |
inspire (6) | ||
| Tx:1.38 | consciousness is the state which produces action, though it does not | inspire it. Man is free to believe what he chooses, and what he does |
| Tx:1.42 | 31. Miracles should | inspire gratitude, not awe. Man should thank God for what he really |
| Tx:4.68 | the living God created. Why do you believe it is harder for me to | inspire the dispirited or to stabilize the unstable? I do not believe |
| Tx:6.12 | of the altar is what makes it a church. Any church which does not | inspire love has a hidden altar which is not serving the purpose for |
| Tx:6.33 | you made it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can | inspire perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to |
| Tx:9.31 | Him with your ears. How, then, can you perceive Him at all? If you | inspire joy, and others react to you with joy even though you are not |
inspired (8) | ||
| Tx:1.80 | Spirit is the bringer of revelations. Revelations are indirectly | inspired by me because I am close to the Holy Spirit and alert to the |
| Tx:2.87 | for which the Atonement was offered. The need for the remedy | inspired its creation. As long as you recognize only the need for the |
| Tx:4.1 | opposite of fatigue. To be fatigued is to be dis-spirited, but to be | inspired is to be in the spirit. To be egocentric is to be |
| Tx:4.1 | be dispirited, but to be Self-centered in the right sense is to be | inspired, or in the Soul. The truly inspired are enlightened and |
| Tx:4.1 | in the right sense is to be inspired, or in the Soul. The truly | inspired are enlightened and cannot abide in darkness. |
| Tx:4.2 | have chosen “to be still and know that I am God.” These words are | inspired because they come from knowledge. If you speak from the ego, |
| Tx:7.1 | process in which you share, and because you share it, you are | inspired to create like God. Yet in creation you are not in |

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

| Tx:9.67 | You will remember everything the | instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, |
| Tx:9.82 | Father. He is therefore not eternal and will be unmade for you the | instant you signify your willingness to accept only the eternal. If |
| Tx:10.74 | perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an | instant to realize that this judgment is true. |

| Tx:12.65 | is all about him and within him. He must deny the world of pain the | instant he perceives the arms of love around him. And from this point |
| Tx:13.63 | will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very | instant that it is perceived. Where everything is clear, it is all |
| Tx:14.29 | Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was accomplished the | instant it was given Him for you. Do not delay yourselves in your |

| Tx:14.49 | blots them out. Where there was light, darkness removes it in an | instant, and alternating patterns of light and darkness sweep |

| Tx:15.9 | from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each | instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God |
| Tx:15.10 | use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very | instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can |
| Tx:15.10 | completely free, and wholly without condemnation. From this holy | instant wherein holiness was born again, you will go forth in time |
| Tx:15.11 | without change, yet holiness does not change. Learn from this | instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming |
| Tx:15.11 | this instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming | instant lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into |
| Tx:15.11 | no change in Heaven because there is no change in God. In the holy | instant in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you will |
| Tx:15.12 | to change your mind so completely, ask yourself, “How long is an | instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for |
| Tx:15.12 | you how to be willing to give Him this than for Him to use this tiny | instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this |
| Tx:15.12 | tiny instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this | instant, He stands ready to give you the remembrance of eternity. |
| Tx:15.13 | You will never give this holy | instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are |
| Tx:15.13 | unwilling to give it to your brothers on behalf of theirs. For the | instant of holiness is shared, and cannot be yours alone. Remember, |
| Tx:15.13 | Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a brother, that his | instant of release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you |
| Tx:15.13 | to offer time to the Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an | instant? It is as short for your brother as it is for you. Practice |
| Tx:15.13 | for your brother as it is for you. Practice giving this blessed | instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by time and thus make time |
| Tx:15.13 | make time their friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives their blessed | instant to you through your giving it. As you give it, He offers it |
| Tx:15.14 | from guilt. You must be holy if you offer holiness. How long is an | instant? As long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect |
| Tx:15.15 | for. Holiness lies not in time but in eternity. There never was an | instant in which God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless |
| Tx:15.15 | not. And so it is no longer time at all. For, caught in the single | instant of the eternal sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed |
| Tx:15.15 | of God's creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal | instant that eternity may be remembered for you in that shining |
| Tx:15.15 | instant that eternity may be remembered for you in that shining | instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant |
| Tx:15.15 | shining instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy | instant through the Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him. |
| Tx:15.16 | by time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An | instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, |
| Tx:15.16 | to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that | instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you |
| Tx:15.16 | and in that instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed | instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:15.17 | Do not be concerned with time and fear not the | instant of holiness which will remove all fear. For the instant of |
| Tx:15.17 | fear not the instant of holiness which will remove all fear. For the | instant of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It |
| Tx:15.18 | will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed | instant reaches out to encompass time, as God extends Himself to |
| Tx:15.18 | its weakness, do not perceive the Source of strength. In the holy | instant, you will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support |
| Tx:15.19 | complete release. And because of this, you have not given one single | instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be |
| Tx:15.20 | through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy | instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you will |
| Tx:15.20 | in any other way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy | instant and will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and |
| Tx:15.20 | by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in this | instant, complete, accomplished, and given wholly. |
| Tx:15.21 | Start now to practice your little part in separating out the holy | instant. You will receive very specific instructions as you go along. |
| Tx:15.21 | it is the practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one | instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence |
| Tx:15.35 | you would rather delay the recognition that His Will is so. The holy | instant is this one and every one. The one you want it to be it is. |
| Tx:15.36 | therefore rest upon your willingness to let all littleness go. The | instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is but as far away as |
| Tx:15.38 | your Father has placed Himself? This you will recognize in the holy | instant in which you willingly and gladly give over every plan but |
| Tx:15.38 | you have been willing to meet its conditions. You can claim the holy | instant any time and anywhere you want it. In your practice, try to |
| Tx:15.38 | for finding magnitude in littleness. It is not there. Use the holy | instant only to recognize that you alone cannot know where it is and |
| Tx:15.39 | I stand within the holy | instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you |
| Tx:15.39 | be willing to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy | instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours |
| Tx:15.39 | which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy | instant yours at once, for the release from littleness in the mind of |
| Tx:15.40 | You could live forever in the holy | instant, beginning now and reaching to eternity, but for a very |
| Tx:15.40 | to let it go. The simple reason, simply stated, is this: The holy | instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect |
| Tx:15.41 | do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes the holy | instant what it is. You believe that it is possible to harbor |
| Tx:15.42 | cannot come into a mind that has decided to oppose it. For the holy | instant is given and received with equal willingness, being the |
| Tx:15.43 | The necessary condition for the holy | instant does not require that you have no thoughts which are not |
| Tx:15.43 | you would keep. Innocence is not of your making. It is given you the | instant you would have it. Yet it would not be Atonement if there |
| Tx:15.45 | The holy | instant is the Holy Spirit's most useful learning device for teaching |
| Tx:15.47 | you more than others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy | instant teaches you it is not so. |
| Tx:15.52 | knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy | instant no one is special, for your personal needs intrude on no one |
| Tx:15.52 | would you see any separation between yourself and them. In the holy | instant, you see in each relationship what it will be when you |
| Tx:15.53 | having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The holy | instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of the |
| Tx:15.53 | God. The 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 |
| Tx:15.54 | All your relationships are blessed in the holy | instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant, the |
| Tx:15.54 | in the holy instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy | instant, the Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it |
| Tx:15.54 | Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy | instant, you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join in |
| Tx:15.55 | With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy | instant, there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For |
| Tx:15.55 | there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the holy | instant reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only |
| Tx:15.57 | as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy | instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize |
| Tx:15.60 | and so no one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy | instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this idea |
| Tx:15.60 | it. By holding it within itself, there was no loss. The holy | instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in |
| Tx:15.61 | In the holy | instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The |
| Tx:15.61 | it is impossible 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 |
| Tx:15.61 | In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the | instant he refuses to be bound, he is not bound. |
| Tx:15.62 | In the holy | instant, nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil that |
| Tx:15.62 | because He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy | instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the |
| Tx:15.62 | no need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy | instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of |
| Tx:15.64 | In the holy | instant God is remembered, and the language of communication with all |
| Tx:15.64 | remembered together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy | instant because the past is gone and with it goes the whole basis for |
| Tx:15.77 | that it can overcome even this without fear. It is through the holy | instant that what seems impossible is accomplished, making it evident |
| Tx:15.77 | making it evident that it is not impossible. In the holy | instant, guilt holds no attraction, since communication has been |
| Tx:15.79 | The holy | instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:15.79 | the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy | instant has extended far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such |
| Tx:15.80 | desire with all your hearts. Let us join together in making the holy | instant all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is. |
| Tx:15.82 | Think but an | instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect |
| Tx:15.85 | to God. It is this shift in vision which is accomplished in the holy | instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift |
| Tx:15.87 | have no limits, having been established by God. In the holy | instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the |
| Tx:15.91 | in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy | instant there are no bodies, and you experience only the attraction |
| Tx:15.91 | of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him wholly in an | instant. [For you would place no limits on your union with Him.] The |
| Tx:15.93 | The holy | instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, |
| Tx:15.93 | The holy instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating | instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited |
| Tx:15.107 | In the holy | instant, the condition of love is met, for minds are joined without |
| Tx:15.112 | There is much to do, and we have been long delayed. Accept the holy | instant as this year is born and take your place, so long left |
| Tx:16.34 | Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the | instant the choice seems to be one between illusions, for this choice |
| Tx:16.60 | which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy | instant is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the |
| Tx:16.68 | it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the holy | instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but let it |
| Tx:16.69 | relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a holy | instant and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness |
| Tx:16.75 | insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy | instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach through |
| Tx:16.75 | through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The holy | instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in salvation |
| Tx:16.75 | belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy | instant, it is accepted that the past is gone, and with its passing |
| Tx:16.76 | For a time you may attempt to bring illusions into the holy | instant to hinder your full awareness of the complete difference in |
| Tx:16.76 | truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy | instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined |
| Tx:16.76 | prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the holy | instant is eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent the |
| Tx:16.77 | You will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy | instant to be given you, and it is impossible that you receive it |
| Tx:16.77 | When He willed that His Son be free, His Son was free. In the holy | instant is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was |
| Tx:16.78 | been forgiven, for it is you who offered them illusions. In the holy | instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the true |
| Tx:16.80 | Seek and find his message in the holy | instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle |
| Tx:17.36 | That is why the holy | instant is so important in the defense of truth. The truth itself |
| Tx:17.37 | The holy | instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you from Heaven. It is a |
| Tx:17.37 | willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The holy | instant is a miniature of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, |
| Tx:17.37 | of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this | instant, borrowed from eternity and set in time for you. |
| Tx:17.42 | with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The holy | instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are one. |
| Tx:17.43 | The holy relationship is the expression of the holy | instant in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the |
| Tx:17.43 | in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the holy | instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy |
| Tx:17.43 | instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy | instant never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet without |
| Tx:17.52 | in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined with many in the holy | instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice will |
| Tx:17.53 | thanks and gratitude, you make yourselves unable to express the holy | instant, and thus you lose sight of it. |
| Tx:17.54 | The experience of an | instant, however compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you |
| Tx:17.54 | gracious in your awareness of time but not concealed within it. The | instant remains. But where are you? To give thanks to each other is |
| Tx:17.54 | are you? To give thanks to each other is to appreciate the holy | instant and thus enable its results to be accepted and shared. To |
| Tx:17.54 | to be accepted and shared. To attack each other is not to lose the | instant but to make it powerless in its effects. You have received |
| Tx:17.54 | but to make it powerless in its effects. You have received the holy | instant, but you have established a condition in which you cannot use |
| Tx:17.56 | given to each other, you will also accept the effects of the holy | instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and free you from |
| Tx:17.74 | The holy | instant is nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of |
| Tx:17.74 | left unused, that faith might answer to the call of truth. The holy | instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal |
| Tx:17.76 | Would you not want to make a holy | instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely |
| Tx:18.17 | dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an | instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of |
| Tx:18.25 | are afraid, you have stepped back. Let us then join quickly in an | instant of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal |
| Tx:18.28 | Each | instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is |
| Tx:18.30 | has been brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy | instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to |
| Tx:18.32 | The holy | instant is the result of your determination to be holy. It is the |
| Tx:18.32 | adds the greatness and the might. He joins with you to make the holy | instant far greater than you can understand. It is your realization |
| Tx:18.33 | came. If you could come without them, you would not need the holy | instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve |
| Tx:18.33 | achieve the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy | instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your |
| Tx:18.34 | greatness, which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the holy | instant arises from your fixed conviction that you are not worthy of |
| Tx:18.35 | The holy | instant does not come from your little willingness alone. It is |
| Tx:18.36 | merely receive the answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy | instant, do not attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to receive |
| Tx:18.38 | add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the holy | instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose |
| Tx:18.39 | It is this that makes the holy | instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult because you |
| Tx:18.40 | it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the holy | instant is difficult for you, it is because you have become the |
| Tx:18.41 | truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy | instant, your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all |
| Tx:18.42 | Never approach the holy | instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your |
| Tx:18.43 | Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy | instant which you do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven with |
| Tx:18.46 | Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this | instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He will never |
| Tx:18.46 | as this is impossible, so is it equally impossible that the holy | instant come to either of you without the other. And it will come to |
| Tx:18.48 | I desire this holy | instant for myself that I may share it with my brother, whom I love. |
| Tx:18.48 | it is wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this | instant as the one to offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may |
| Tx:18.61 | restrictions, you experience much of what happens in the holy | instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden |
| Tx:18.62 | place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy | instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself within its safe |
| Tx:18.64 | still more, but there is one thing you have never done—not for one | instant have you utterly forgotten the body. It has faded at times |
| Tx:18.64 | disappeared. You are not asked to let this happen for more than an | instant, yet it is in this instant that the miracle of Atonement |
| Tx:18.64 | asked to let this happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this | instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will |
| Tx:18.64 | you will see the body again, but never quite the same. And every | instant that you spend without awareness of it gives you a different |
| Tx:18.65 | At no single | instant does the body exist at all. It is always remembered or |
| Tx:18.65 | Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single | instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and |
| Tx:18.66 | It is impossible to accept the holy | instant without reservation unless just for an instant you are |
| Tx:18.66 | to accept the holy instant without reservation unless just for an | instant you are willing to see no past or future. You cannot prepare |
| Tx:18.66 | for it without placing it in the future. Release is given you the | instant you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation and |
| Tx:18.67 | but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One | instant spent together restores the universe to both of you. You are |
| Tx:18.68 | of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one | instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of |
| Tx:18.80 | of Heaven with all the love of its Creator shining upon it. The holy | instant is your invitation to love, to enter into your bleak and |
| Tx:18.81 | no barriers which would interfere with its glad coming. In the holy | instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less |
| Tx:18.97 | the darkness and gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The holy | instant in which you were united is but the messenger of love, sent |
| Tx:19.11 | from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the holy | instant, united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw |
| Tx:19.14 | In the holy | instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself and |
| Tx:19.34 | not hidden. You will be healed of sin and all its ravages the | instant that you give it no power over each other. And you will help |
| Tx:19.35 | In the holy | instant, you will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. And |
| Tx:19.35 | union Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy | instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise your |
| Tx:19.55 | and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a holy | instant, grace is said by everyone together as they join in |
| Tx:19.98 | and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join together in a holy | instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy instant |
| Tx:19.98 | a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy | instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us |
| Tx:20.25 | in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap up in joy the | instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand |
| Tx:20.42 | You look upon each holy | instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that it |
| Tx:20.52 | isolation which seems to be what it is not. No more than that. The | instant that the mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy |
| Tx:20.52 | all your relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy | instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give |
| Tx:20.52 | For what could house this mad idea against reality but for an | instant? |
| Tx:20.53 | must disappear and leave no trace behind their going. The unholy | instant of their seeming power is frail as is a snowflake, but |
| Tx:20.53 | Is this the substitute you want for the eternal blessing of the holy | instant and its unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the |
| Tx:20.53 | and so invested in a false attraction, your preference to the holy | instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the |
| Tx:20.54 | smile and tender blessing it offers to its own. Here the unholy | instant is exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe return. |
| Tx:20.55 | a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto death and given but an | instant in which to sigh and grieve and die in honor of its master. |
| Tx:20.55 | to sigh and grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy | instant seems to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry |
| Tx:20.55 | in honor of its master. And this unholy instant seems to be life; an | instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of water and |
| Tx:20.56 | Here it is given him to choose to spend this | instant paying tribute to the body or let himself be given freedom |

| Tx:20.56 | this may still be fearful, but you are not immobilized. The holy | instant is of greater value now to you than its unholy seeming |
| Tx:20.62 | the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy | instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It cannot |

| Tx:21.23 | Be willing for an | instant to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and |
| Tx:21.23 | upon them, and what is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy | instant is not an instant of creation but of recognition. For |
| Tx:21.23 | is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an | instant of creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of |
| Tx:21.28 | other and separate from your Father, you made in secret, and the | instant of release has come to you. All its effects are gone because |
| Tx:21.37 | given you is more than anything that stands this side of Heaven. The | instant for its recognition is at hand. Join your awareness to what |
| Tx:21.53 | there since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same | instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is |
| Tx:21.65 | you to change his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an | instant. And any instant serves to bring complete correction of his |
| Tx:21.65 | his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And any | instant serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make |
| Tx:21.65 | to bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The | instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same |
| Tx:21.65 | The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same | instant is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is |
| Tx:21.67 | be given you to give what It has given and gives still. Spend but an | instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your |
| Tx:21.90 | What is the holy | instant but God's appeal to you to recognize what He has given you? |
| Tx:22.14 | it through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an | instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that |
| Tx:22.14 | an instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that | instant brought—the recognition that the “something else” you |
| Tx:23.40 | your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any | instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know |
| Tx:23.46 | not lingered there in cowering hope because the guns are stilled an | instant and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, |
| Tx:24.26 | it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it wholly the | instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would |
| Tx:24.38 | your reality not real but just a dream of specialness which lasts an | instant, crumbling into dust. |
| Tx:24.43 | the sightless, unlit but by the shifting tiny gleams that spark an | instant from the fireflies of sin and then go out, to lead the other |
| Tx:25.26 | and the sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with | instant and complete forgiveness. |
| Tx:25.27 | Nothing remains an | instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the |
| Tx:25.27 | yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor need he stay more than an | instant.] For he has come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead |
| Tx:25.31 | to you will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the | instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your |
| Tx:25.48 | did God appoint to be the means for his salvation from the very | instant that the choice was made. His special sin was made his |
| Tx:26.5 | become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No | instant passes here in which your brother's holiness cannot be seen, |
| Tx:26.7 | Yet every | instant can you be reborn and given life again. His holiness gives |
| Tx:26.8 | eternally and everywhere. He is the same forever—born again each | instant, untouched by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice |
| Tx:26.32 | it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time lasted but an | instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all |
| Tx:26.32 | one and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny | instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave |
| Tx:26.33 | live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an | instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one |
| Tx:26.34 | The tiny | instant you would keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven too |
| Tx:26.35 | or thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one | instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time. You |
| Tx:26.37 | is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want that fearful | instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and |
| Tx:26.39 | gone by? [This course will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful | instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected, is of no concern |
| Tx:26.39 | power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's Son entered an | instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's perfect Love. And |
| Tx:26.40 | that God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the | instant that he chose to die instead of live. And will you not |
| Tx:26.42 | Each day and every minute in each day and every | instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant |
| Tx:26.42 | and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single | instant when the time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die |
| Tx:26.42 | from birth to death and on to life again, a repetition of an | instant gone by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is |
| Tx:26.56 | within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the | instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God |
| Tx:26.63 | on the Son of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each | instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. |
| Tx:26.63 | he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every | instant offers life to him because his Father wills that he should |
| Tx:27.21 | balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an | instant, even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as |
| Tx:27.34 | any kind. For you will give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an | instant in deciding that it is the only one you want. It does not |
| Tx:27.37 | state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy | instant. It is here that all your problems should be brought and |
| Tx:27.41 | want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only within the holy | instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And from the |
| Tx:27.42 | is preserved intact because it gave the answer to itself. The holy | instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to hear an |
| Tx:27.43 | question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy | instant, you can bring the question to the answer and receive the |
| Tx:27.44 | forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the | instant it is born. And it is born the instant it is offered and |
| Tx:27.44 | nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the | instant it is offered and received. No one can ask another to be |
| Tx:27.45 | be no need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an | instant, you love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles |
| Tx:27.45 | it does mean, if only for an instant, you love without attack. An | instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on time. |
| Tx:27.46 | The holy | instant is the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is born |
| Tx:27.46 | where a miracle has come to heal. And nothing more than just one | instant of your love without attack is necessary that all this occur. |
| Tx:27.46 | love without attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one | instant are you healed, and in that single instant is all healing |
| Tx:27.46 | this occur. In that one instant are you healed, and in that single | instant is all healing done. |
| Tx:27.47 | What stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy | instant brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses |
| Tx:27.47 | of you on your behalf. A dying world asks only that you rest an | instant from attack upon yourself, that it be healed. |
| Tx:27.48 | Come to the holy | instant and be healed, for nothing that is there received is left |
| Tx:27.53 | understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred within the | instant which love entered in without attack will stay with you |
| Tx:27.61 | that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The holy | instant will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. |
| Tx:27.72 | illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the | instant of disaster, all are here. Here is the cause of unreality. |
| Tx:27.80 | to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The | instant that he sees them as they are, they have no more effects on |
| Tx:27.85 | idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy | instant with your laughter and your brother's joined with His. |
| Tx:28.11 | The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an | instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and |
| Tx:28.12 | He to Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet | instant given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed to offer |
| Tx:28.12 | given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that | instant is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son |
| Tx:28.12 | and Him and lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that | instant does the Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid. |
| Tx:28.15 | to allow the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge an | instant will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with |
| Tx:28.63 | be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice and given you the | instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune because the |
| Tx:29.9 | What toys or trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you back an | instant from His love? Would you allow the body to say “no” to |
| Tx:30.45 | shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no | instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was. |
| Tx:31.12 | Let us be still an | instant and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, |
| Tx:31.20 | Then let us wait an | instant and be still, forgetting everything we thought we heard; |
| Tx:31.22 | Be very still an | instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and |
| Tx:31.24 | An | instant spent without your old ideas of who your great companion is |
| Tx:31.63 | is doomed to suffering and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an | instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an instant |
| Tx:31.63 | he was an instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an | instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is seen, for |

| W1:33.5 | Remember to apply today's idea the | instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a |

| W1:98.11 | with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every | instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace. |

| W1:136.21 | identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give | instant remedy should this occur by not allowing your defensiveness |
| W1:137.11 | become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse between the | instant they are healed and all the grace of healing it is given them |
| W1:153.8 | minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its tiny | instant for eternity. |
| W1:156.6 | dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an | instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim? |
| W1:157.2 | the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an | instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal. |
| W1:157.9 | The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an | instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you |
| W1:157.9 | Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that | instant and will surely know again. |
| W1:159.10 | can be made from death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an | instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision |
| W1:164.1 | The present is the only time there is. And so today, this | instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in our |
| W1:165.2 | you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an | instant. It belongs to you. By It you live. It is your Source of |
| W1:167.10 | form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an | instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself. |
| W1:168.4 | will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an | instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the world |
| W1:168.4 | the light as theirs. What now remains that Heaven be delayed an | instant longer? What remains undone when your forgiveness rests on |
| W1:169.12 | timelessness and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an | instant back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it |
| W1:169.13 | Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an | instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them |
| W1:181.3 | while. We do not care about our future goals, and what we saw an | instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of time |
| W1:181.8 | to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an | instant from the misery the focus upon sin will bring and, |
| W1:181.10 | we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This | instant is our willing one with His. |
| W1:182.8 | When you are still an | instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease |
| W1:182.8 | He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that | instant, He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in |
| W1:185.1 | these words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an | instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any |
| W1:186.9 | blow across his mind like windswept leaves that form a patterning an | instant, break apart to group again, and scamper off. Or like mirages |
| W1:193.14 | Do not try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another | instant. Time was made for this. Use it today for what its purpose |
| W1:194.3 | In no one | instant is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In |
| W1:194.3 | is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In no one | instant sorrow can be set upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In |
| W1:194.3 | sorrow can be set upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In no one | instant can one even die. And so each instant given unto God in |

| W1:194.5 | from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the | instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs |
| W1:194.5 | where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each | instant, which was slave to time, transformed into a holy instant |

| W1:196.10 | There is an | instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so wholly that escape |
| W1:196.11 | Now for an | instant is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your death, |
| W1:196.11 | for you until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this | instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God |
| W1:196.11 | in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the | instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear and make advance to |
| W1:196.12 | no thought of God that does not go with you to help you reach that | instant and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the |
| W1:198.13 | the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an | instant longer. Then are symbols done and everything you ever thought |
| W1:198.14 | know the Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that not an | instant stands between this single sight and timelessness itself, you |
| W1:200.10 | up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an | instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can |
| W1:202.1 | I will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an | instant more where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His |
| W2:227.1 | feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy | instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours. |
| W2:WS.2 | The thought of peace was given to God's Son the | instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such |
| W2:WS.5 | is returned, that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an | instant more to wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done, |
| W2:234.1 | we have reached again the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny | instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the |
| W2:241.1 | today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the | instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has |
| W2:270.1 | dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining | instant more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to |
| W2:271.1 | Each day, each hour, every | instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to |
| W2:285.1 | they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only joyous things the | instant I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of pain to |
| W2:290.1 | my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an | instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness and look on |
| W2:WIRW.5 | of time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one | instant more for God to take His final step, and time has |
| W2:WIRW.5 | with it as it goes and leaving but the Truth to be Itself. That | instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we |

| W2:300.2 | the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny | instant to eternity. |
| W2:308.1 | only interval 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 |
| W2:308.2 | Thanks for this | instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time |
| W2:308.2 | Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This | instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son's release and for |
| W2:324.2 | Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an | instant from His loving hand. We walk together, for we follow Him. |
| W2:355.1 | Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an | instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I choose and my |

| M:2.2 | the idea of separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that same | instant was God's Answer given. In time this happened very long ago. |
| M:2.4 | Time really, then, goes backward to an | instant so ancient that it is beyond all memory and past even the |
| M:2.4 | and past even the possibility of remembering. Yet because it is an | instant that is relived again and again and still again, it seems to |

| Tx:7.11 | to fight for them. That is why they perceive “the freedoms” as many | instead of as one. Yet the argument that underlies the defense of |

| Tx:10.26 | them, it is only because you are denying the light. But deny them | instead, for the light is here, and the way is clear. |
| Tx:11.98 | and then atoning for it. This is the ego's plan, which it offers | instead of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through |

| Tx:13.15 | and the belief in one is faith in the other, calling for punishment | instead of love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for |
| Tx:13.18 | you all is black with guilt within you and bids you not to look. | Instead, it bids you look upon your brothers and see the guilt in |
| Tx:13.75 | you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore of yourselves. | Instead, accept His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of |
| Tx:13.90 | for thus are darkness and deceit undone. Fail not yourself, but | instead offer to God and you His blameless Son. For this small gift |
| Tx:13.91 | yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt | instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which |
| Tx:14.69 | undone. He has brought all of them to light, having accepted them | instead of you and recognized they never were. There are no dark |
| Tx:15.36 | desire for it. As long as you desire it not and cherish littleness | instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it |
| Tx:17.28 | you have made is a substitute for God's Will and glorifies yours | instead of His because of the delusion that they are different. |
| Tx:17.70 | faithlessness can make it useless if you would use the faithlessness | instead. |
| Tx:17.76 | And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use | instead. This power instantly transforms all situations into one sure |
| Tx:18.1 | To substitute is to accept | instead. If you would but consider exactly what this entails, you |
| Tx:18.10 | that only God is there. And He would never accept something else | instead of you. He loves you both, equally and as one. And as He |
| Tx:18.59 | questions of reality but merely accepting it. You have accepted this | instead of the body and have let yourself be one with something |
| Tx:19.53 | The Holy Spirit has given you love's messengers to send | instead of those you trained through fear. They are as eager to |
| Tx:19.54 | 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:19.56 | me. For I became the symbol of your sin, and so I had to die | instead of you. To the ego sin means death, and so Atonement is |
| Tx:19.56 | Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of God was killed | instead of you. |
| Tx:19.68 | Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave | instead, without the limits which would hold its extension back and |
| Tx:20.29 | need to see your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him | instead, and Heaven is lost to you. But see him as he is, and what is |
| Tx:21.4 | How foolish it is to attempt to judge what could be seen | instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must look |
| Tx:21.31 | faith that they can hold him and placing it in his freedom | instead. It is impossible to place equal faith in opposite |
| Tx:21.32 | vision are all for you. And when you have accepted them completely | instead of yours, you will have need of them no longer. For faith and |
| Tx:21.64 | If you choose sin | instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can |
| Tx:21.64 | nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a miracle | instead without the other being blessed by it and healed of pain. |
| Tx:21.69 | to be merciful, there is he free. But where he chooses to condemn | instead, there is he held a prisoner, waiting in chains his pardon on |
| Tx:21.75 | Do I desire a world I rule | instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where I am |
| Tx:21.75 | of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where I am powerful | instead of helpless? Do I desire a world in which I have no enemies |
| Tx:22.11 | So in each holy relationship is the ability to communicate | instead of separate reborn. Yet a holy relationship, so recently |
| Tx:23.21 | kind can be corrected because they are untrue. When brought to truth | instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No part of nothing |
| Tx:23.51 | Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the choice is miracles | instead of murder. And the perspective coming from this choice shows |
| Tx:23.52 | it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly choose a miracle | instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of Heaven will |
| Tx:24.4 | The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to choose attack | instead of love, unrecognized and swift to challenge you to combat |
| Tx:24.12 | had you not chosen to make of him a tiny measure of your specialness | instead. Against the littleness you see in him, you stand as tall and |
| Tx:24.14 | Which created them as one with Him. They chose their specialness | instead of Heaven and instead of peace and wrapped it carefully in |
| Tx:24.14 | as one with Him. They chose their specialness instead of Heaven and | instead of peace and wrapped it carefully in sin to keep it “safe” |
| Tx:24.16 | specialness they think they see is an illusion. What would they see | instead? |
| Tx:24.31 | the Holy One the specialness He could not give and which you made | instead. |
| Tx:24.33 | seek your love that you may love yourself. Love not your specialness | instead of them. The print of nails are on your hands as well. |
| Tx:24.37 | you would keep the gift your Father asks from Him and give it there | instead? Given to Him, the universe is yours. Offered to them, no |
| Tx:24.39 | to be your savior and crucified the one whom God has given you | instead. So are you bound with him, for you are one. And so is |
| Tx:24.64 | How can you know your worth while specialness claims you | instead? How can you fail to know it is in his holiness? Seek not to |
| Tx:25.5 | would you not despise the one who tells you this and seek his death | instead? The message and the messenger are one. And you must see your |
| Tx:25.16 | masterpiece He offers you to see. And would you rather see the frame | instead of this? And see the picture not at all? |
| Tx:25.17 | separate purpose that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame | instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a frame that |
| Tx:25.18 | Accept God's frame | instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece. Look at its |
| Tx:25.19 | not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that looks on Christ | instead of seeing death. |
| Tx:25.27 | to put it out of mind where it must be and light the body up | instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose to see |
| Tx:25.28 | see the workings of the Helper given you to see the world He made, | instead of yours. |
| Tx:25.38 | alien to yourself and “something else,” a “something” to be feared | instead of loved. Who would attack whatever he perceives as wholly |
| Tx:25.46 | kind perception of specialness—His use of what you made, to heal | instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in salvation he |
| Tx:25.48 | let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a means to save | instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this world is |
| Tx:25.80 | as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment becomes his due | instead of justice. |
| Tx:26.5 | Those who would see the witnesses to truth | instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in |
| Tx:26.17 | God cannot be remembered until justice is loved | instead of feared. He cannot be unjust to anyone or anything because |
| Tx:26.17 | And all you need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you | instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that seems to hold the |
| Tx:26.19 | wholly simple. Here is sin denied and everything that is received | instead. |
| Tx:26.40 | as God created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to die | instead of live. And will you not forgive him now because he made an |
| Tx:26.63 | he chooses not to die again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses death | instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every instant offers |
| Tx:26.65 | lay aside the power that He gave and choose a little senseless wish | instead of what He wills. The gift of God to you is limitless. There |
| Tx:27.48 | give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's face | instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot perceive |
| Tx:27.73 | And gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He gave | instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a dream when once |
| Tx:27.75 | Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses | instead of dwelling in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his |
| Tx:27.75 | dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to dream about | instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his illusions |
| Tx:27.83 | on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts | instead of you. It brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you |
| Tx:28.7 | it is gone, for this is what you would be pardoned from. And see | instead the new effects of cause accepted now, with consequences |
| Tx:28.27 | I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another choice | instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course |
| Tx:28.37 | him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned | instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams |
| Tx:28.41 | part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his dream | instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams is meaningless |
| Tx:28.44 | To each he offers his identity, which the whole picture represents, | instead of just a little broken bit which he insisted was himself. |
| Tx:28.66 | everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have made | instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds will blow |
| Tx:29.10 | to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, | instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so |
| Tx:29.10 | for you to follow? Is it not because you see it as the road to hell | instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any |
| Tx:29.34 | on every vain illusion of the world. And being empty, they received | instead a brother's hand in which completion lay. |
| Tx:29.35 | thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn | instead how blessed are you who can release him just by offering him |
| Tx:29.36 | him for all his dreams of death—a dream of hope you share with him | instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so |
| Tx:29.38 | are you to forgive your brother? How much do you desire peace | instead of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are |
| Tx:29.38 | loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly offers peace | instead of this. |
| Tx:29.65 | believe because he fears his thoughts and gives them to the toys | instead. And their reality becomes his own because they seem to save |
| Tx:30.35 | Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate | instead of love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus |
| Tx:30.57 | 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 they |
| Tx:30.71 | to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is real. | Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what is not |
| Tx:30.91 | dreams but keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality | instead. And Heaven gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle |
| Tx:30.92 | he denies reality. And he becomes the willing slave of what he chose | instead. |
| Tx:30.94 | There is no false appearance but will fade if you request a miracle | instead. There is no pain from which he is not free if you would have |
| Tx:31.28 | the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts | instead of it. A jailer does not follow orders, but enforces orders |
| Tx:31.37 | it not needful that he should begin with this, to seek another way | instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what power |
| Tx:31.38 | be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real alternative | instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here. |
| Tx:31.63 | looking at the cost of keeping guilt because they chose to let it go | instead. |
| Tx:31.73 | of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind. Give it | instead to Him Who understands the changes that it needs to let it |
| Tx:31.73 | not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world | instead of as salvation's enemy? |
| Tx:31.81 | you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you would be | instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and death; a thing of |
| Tx:31.86 | brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His strength | instead. |
| Tx:31.88 | the world who see like Him are merely those who chose His strength | instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem |
| W1:10.2 | different. This time the idea is introduced with “My thoughts” | instead of “These thoughts” and no link is made overtly with the |
| W1:12.2 | the time of the shift to become markedly longer or shorter, but try, | instead, to keep a measured, even tempo throughout. What you see does |
| W1:25.2 | you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the world | instead of attempting to reinforce them. |
| W1:28.6 | a commitment to each of them to let their purpose be revealed to you | instead of placing your own judgment upon them. |
| W1:30.2 | attempting to get rid of what we do not like by seeing it outside. | Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and |
| W1:34.6 | I could see peace in this situation | instead of what I now see in it. |
| W1:41.5 | idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try | instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts |
| W1:45.5 | Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do | |
| W1:57.5 | [34] I could see peace | instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will |
| W1:57.5 | a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God | instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will |
| W1:72.8 | truth and welcome it as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His place | instead. It is your friend; He is your enemy. |
| W1:72.9 | stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to welcome it | instead. Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your peace |
| W1:72.10 | is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation and to accept it | instead. And wherever His plan is accepted, it is accomplished |
| W1:72.19 | is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it | instead. What is salvation, Father? |
| W1:73.17 | a grievance of any kind. This will help you let your grievances go | instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the darkness. |
| W1:76.7 | this is so. It is no longer a truth which we would hide. We realize | instead it is a truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, |
| W1:78.1 | the while it waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances | instead. |
| W1:78.2 | Today we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle | instead. We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to |
| W1:89.4 | against you [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you | instead. Seen truly, this offers me a miracle. |
| W1:91.3 | it is insanity not to see what is there and to see what is not there | instead. You do not doubt that the body's eyes can see. You do not |
| W1:100.5 | to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part | instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to |
| W1:103.1 | believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain | instead of joy. |
| W1:104.1 | receive His gifts. They are not welcomed gladly by a mind which has | instead received the gifts it made where His belong, as substitutes |
| W1:104.6 | sought for only in a world of dreams. All this we lay aside and seek | instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has |
| W1:106.4 | are true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream | instead and last forever, for they come from God to His dear Son, |
| W1:108.1 | that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear | instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the |
| W1:110.9 | honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God | instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your mind the |
| W1:122.5 | is the answer! Seek for it no more. You will not find another one | instead. God's plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it |
| W1:125.7 | give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world and choose | instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He speaks from nearer |
| W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to find a world | instead where losing is impossible, where love endures forever, hate |
| W1:129.6 | This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose | instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world | instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want. |
| W1:131.10 | thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas | instead. |
| W1:132.21 | I loose the world from all I thought it was and choose my own reality | instead. |
| W1:133.1 | We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell | instead on benefits to you. |
| W1:134.9 | to dwell on what you think he did, for this is self-deception. Ask | instead, “Should I accuse myself of doing this?” |
| W1:135.23 | blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive | instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are |
| W1:135.23 | our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give | instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say: |
| W1:136.4 | beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on you | instead of one effected by your self. |
| W1:138.4 | is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose | instead. There is no contradiction to the truth. |
| W1:139.3 | what is life except to be yourself, and what but you can be alive | instead? Who is the doubter? What is it he doubts? Whom does he |
| W1:152.10 | ashamed of what we are. And we lift our hearts in true humility | instead to Him Who has created us immaculate, like to Himself in |
| W1:155.12 | always been. What way but this could be a path that you would choose | instead? |
| W1:161.2 | it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees | instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the |
| W1:161.9 | scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you will take his hand | instead, for you are like him in the sight that sees him thus. |
| W1:186.5 | false is true has brought to you. Accept the plan you did not make | instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you that |
| W1:186.12 | and unsure of everything? Let not its voice direct you. Hear | instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a function given you by |
| W1:187.9 | you will behold will take away all thought of form and leave | instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever |
| W1:188.7 | listen. And they urge you gently to accept His Word for what you are | instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind you that you are the |
| W1:190.11 | unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy | instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God |
| W1:190.11 | joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God | instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the |
| W1:192.9 | Therefore hold no one prisoner. Release | instead of bind, for thus are you made free. The way is simple. Every |
| W1:192.9 | savior from the prison-house of death. And so you owe him thanks | instead of pain. |
| W1:193.10 | tempted to believe that pain is real and death becomes our choice | instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these words when we have |
| W1:198.5 | to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, | instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your own in |
| W1:198.7 | the place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive a miracle | instead. |
| W1:R6.10 | few formal expressions for specific thoughts to aid your practicing. | Instead we give these times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in |
| W1:210.1 | [190] I choose the joy of God | instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not a thought of God, but |
| W1:210.1 | His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose | instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as |
| W2:I.10 | that we need only call to God and all temptations disappear. | Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we |
| W2:I.10 | temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. | Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we |
| W2:I.10 | but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. | Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be |
| W2:223.2 | Our Father, let us see the face of Christ | instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We |
| W2:224.2 | for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me see | instead. |
| W2:233.1 | me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your will | instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained and wasting time in |
| W2:239.1 | truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us | instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in |
| W2:WIW.3 | The mechanisms of illusion have been born | instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to seek. |
| W2:250.2 | He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness | instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him, so I see |
| W2:WIS.2 | Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek | instead for witnesses to what is true. |
| W2:258.1 | in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought | instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to |
| W2:263.1 | and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my choice | instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation—all |
| W2:265.1 | And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world | instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial |
| W2:278.2 | fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You | instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe and only |
| W2:278.2 | I would not dream. I choose the way to You instead of madness and | instead of fear. For truth is safe and only love is sure. |
| W2:285.1 | avail me, if insanity departs from me today and I accept my holiness | instead? |
| W2:291.2 | receive the thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You | instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are |
| W2:298.1 | of senseless journeys, mad careers, and artificial values. I accept | instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will |
| W2:301.1 | forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your world | instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for |
| W2:E.3 | and for your Self when you retire from the world, to seek Reality | instead. He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, |
| M:4.7 | that where he anticipated grief, he finds a happy light-heartedness | instead; where he thought something was asked of him, he finds a gift |
| M:10.5 | He gave himself to Him Whose judgment he has chosen now to trust | instead of his own. Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide is sure. And |
| M:11.4 | It is no longer, “Can peace be possible in this world?” but | instead, “Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?” |
