Tx:1.103  triumph, vengeance, self-debasement, and all kinds of expressions of  lack of love are often very clearly seen in the fantasies which

Tx:19.12  the Son of God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he  laid upon himself. Faith sees him only now because it looks not to

Tx:26.72 The plans you make for safety all are  laid within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been

Tx:31.13  must be prepared, no time to be expended, and no plans that need be  laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle being waged

W1:121.1  all questions answered; here the end of all uncertainty ensured at  last.
W1:129.4 Yet even they will be exchanged at  last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where

W1:170.13  and your attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at  last. The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way
W1:R5.10  and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at  last, when time is done.

Tx:23.34  where only shadows play the major roles, it seems most powerful. No  law of chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on form and
Tx:24.53  it is. Let not his specialness obscure the truth in him, for not one  law of death you bind him to will you escape. And not one sin you see
Tx:24.62  world defend the specialness he wants to be the truth! His wish is  law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his specialness demands does he
Tx:25.23  be justified. This is in strict accord with vision's fundamental  law: you see what you believe is there, and you believe it there
Tx:25.23  believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other  law than this. The rest but stems from this, to hold it up and offer
Tx:25.23  This is perception's form adapted to this world of God's more basic  law that love creates itself and nothing but itself.
Tx:25.25  rests on choosing; knowledge does not. Knowledge has but one  law because it has but one Creator. But this world has two who made
Tx:25.26  some link that kept it still within the laws of God; not as the  law itself upholds the universe as God created it, but in some form
Tx:25.33 Perception's basic  law could thus be said, “You will rejoice at what you see because you

W1:76.8  we have believed we must obey. These would include, for example, the  laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and of the body's
W1:76.8  protection in innumerable ways. Think further—you believe in the  laws of friendship, of “good” relationships, and reciprocity.
W1:76.9 Perhaps you even think that there are  laws which set forth what is God's and what is yours. Many
W1:76.10 There are no  laws but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today and hold

W1:76.11 Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the  laws you thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen
W1:76.12  will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His  laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's idea until we
W1:76.12  today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no  laws but God's. Then we will tell ourselves as a dedication with
W1:76.13 I am under no  laws but God's.
W1:76.14  to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to other  laws throughout the day. It is our statement of freedom from all

W1:127.5 No  laws the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the
W1:127.6 Today we practice making free our minds of all the  laws you think you must obey, of all the limits under which you live,
W1:133.4 The  laws which govern choice you cannot make, no more than you can make
W1:133.4  choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to learn the  laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you
W1:134.2  pardon this is meaningless. All truth belongs to Him, reflects His  laws and radiates His Love. Does this need pardon? How can you
W1:134.13  no thought in all the world which leads to any understanding of the  laws it follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to
W1:136.11  truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to  laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who believes
W1:136.12  your plans to change His Will. The universe remains unheeding of the  laws by which you thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to
W1:136.20  limited by time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any  laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it
W1:137.2  wall of sickened flesh which it cannot surmount. The world obeys the  laws that sickness serves, but healing operates apart from them.
W1:137.7  truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in spite of all the  laws that hold it cannot but be real, then questions have been
W1:137.7  it cannot but be real, then questions have been answered. And the  laws can be no longer cherished nor obeyed.
W1:137.8  the truth. Healing is shared. And by this attribute, it proves that  laws unlike the ones which hold that sickness is inevitable are more
W1:137.9  can be yours, how little practice you need undertake to let His  laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death.
W1:154.4  apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of  laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from all sin,
W1:157.3  enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its  laws and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do
W1:159.1  a thing requires first you have it in your own possession. Here the  laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The
W1:199.2  serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the  laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with
W1:204.1  Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by  laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and
W2:277.1  Son is free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the  laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by
W2:277.1  him with the laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any  laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure. He is not
W2:277.1  He is not changed by what is changeable. He is not slave to any  laws of time. He is as You created him, because he knows no laws
W2:277.1  to any laws of time. He is as You created him, because he knows no  laws except the Law of Love.
W2:277.2 Let us not worship idols nor believe in any  laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. He is
W2:278.1  Father prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the  laws the world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I
W2:329.1 Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its  laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. Yet what
W2:WIE.4  is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its  laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its
W2:346.1  and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all  laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things
W2:346.1  forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in You and know no  laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the peace which You

W1:78.2  stop before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but  lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence to behold the Son of

W1:97.4  then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to  lay timelessness beside them. He will offer all His strength to every

W1:99.14  your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to  lay all fear aside and know your Self as Love Which has no opposite
W1:99.20 Thus do you  lay forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside
W1:104.6 Then  lay aside the conflicts of the world that offer other gifts and other

W1:135.21  until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers  lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them nothing and
W1:136.8  weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you  lay when for an instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all
W1:136.15  it has been allowed to enter. And it comes to any mind that would  lay down its arms and cease to play with folly. It is found at any

W1:151.16 Such is your Eastertide. And so you  lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing witnesses
W1:152.10 We  lay aside the arrogance which says that we are sinners, guilty and

W1:156.4  you, and the trees extend their arms to shield you from the heat and  lay their leaves before you on the ground that you may walk in
W1:165.5  your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come to  lay aside denial and accept the Thought of God as its inheritance.

W1:182.11 Take time today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and  lay down the spear and sword you raised against an enemy without

W1:186.4 All false humility we  lay aside today that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to us what
W1:187.11  where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can  lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells
W1:188.9  that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And we  lay our saving blessing on it as we say:
W1:189.7 Simply do this: be still and  lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is, all concepts
W1:190.9  Lay down your arms and come without defense into the quiet place
W1:190.9  the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last.  Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with
W1:190.9  all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you.  Lay down the cruel sword of judgment that you hold against your

Tx:1.89  to achieve it. No learning is acquired by anyone unless he wants to  learn it and believes in some way that he needs it. While the concept

Tx:4.73  learners learn best when they believe that what they are trying to  learn is of value to them. However, values in this world are

Tx:4.74 Indeed, many of the things you want to  learn are chosen because their value will not last. The ego thinks it

Tx:4.78 This is the question which you must  learn to ask in connection with everything your mind wishes to
Tx:4.86 The term “holy” can be used here because as you  learn how much you are indebted to the whole Sonship, which includes

Tx:5.27  you value and choose to follow in determining what you will to  learn. I am your model for decision. By deciding for God, I showed
Tx:5.32 The way to  learn to know your brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him.

Tx:6.9 We have said before, “As you teach, so shall you  learn.” If you react as if you are persecuted, you are teaching

Tx:6.40  will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and  learn what is not true. From this, which you have made, you have
Tx:6.41  only one lesson. If you are to be conflict-free yourselves, you must  learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only
Tx:6.41  but when you denied this, you made what you are something you must  learn. We said before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach

Tx:6.43  learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as others  learn it of you. The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By
Tx:6.44  Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach only love, and  learn that love is yours and you are love.

Tx:6.70  in attack and rejection, so this is what they perceive and teach and  learn. These insane concepts are clearly the result of their own
Tx:6.73  real reason why in many respects the first lesson is the hardest to  learn. Still strongly aware of the ego in himself and responding

Tx:6.84  hardly be consistent if He allowed you to strengthen what you must  learn to avoid. In the mind of the thinker, then, He is judgmental,

Tx:6.94  Kingdom. Everything outside the Kingdom is illusion, but you must  learn to accept truth, because you threw it away. You therefore saw

Tx:7.21  potentials for learning, and you will apply them to what you want to  learn. Learning is effort, and effort means will. We have used the
Tx:7.22  because that would defeat its purpose. Therefore, it does not really  learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has
Tx:7.23 You made the effort to  learn, and the Holy Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He
Tx:7.26  clearly impossible. It is therefore a lesson which you cannot really  learn, and therefore cannot really teach. Yet you are always
Tx:7.35  only for healing, because He knows you only as whole. By healing you  learn of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to
Tx:7.35  By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you  learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.48  created it, but you think that you have changed it as long as you  learn through the ego. This does place you in a position of needing

Tx:7.89  one can keep a belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you  learn about the ego, the more you realize that it cannot be believed.

Tx:8.16  you are light. If you want understanding and enlightenment, you will  learn it, because your will to learn it is your decision to listen to
Tx:8.16  and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your will to  learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who knows of light
Tx:8.20  of the teacher you choose, is know thyself. There is nothing else to  learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and glory he
Tx:8.22  choice could you make? Having made this choice, you will begin to  learn and understand why you have believed that when you met someone

Tx:8.60  to a learner as to be placed in a curriculum which he cannot  learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed.

Tx:8.96  who could not possibly teach you your will. Of him you can never  learn it, and this gives you the illusion of safety. Yet you cannot
Tx:8.114 Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you will  learn that my belief in you is justified. Believe in me by believing
Tx:8.114  them for the sake of what God gave them. They will answer you if you  learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for blessings without blessing
Tx:8.114  for blessings without blessing them, for only in this way can you  learn how blessed you are. By following this way, you are looking for
Tx:9.5  How is this different from telling you that what you teach you  learn? Your brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is
Tx:9.8  God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do not need to  learn this, but you do need to learn to want this, and for this all
Tx:9.8  in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to  learn to want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the
Tx:9.15  work is not your function, and unless you accept this, you cannot  learn what your function is. The confusion of functions is so typical
Tx:9.29  you that the words are true. By following the right Guide you will  learn the simplest of all lessons—
Tx:9.34  because each part is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot  learn of your wholeness until you see it everywhere. You can know
Tx:9.35 You are not yet awake, but you can  learn how to awaken. Very simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to
Tx:9.35  Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will  learn what waking means, and because you have willed to wake them,
Tx:9.37  you. You will never know that you are co-creator with God until you  learn that your brother is a co-creator with you.
Tx:9.59  which happens to you is caused by factors outside yourself. You must  learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the
Tx:9.81 I do not bring God's message with deception, and you will  learn this as you learn that you always receive as much as you
Tx:9.81  bring God's message with deception, and you will learn this as you  learn that you always receive as much as you accept. You could accept

Tx:9.99  His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you will  learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in everything He

Tx:9.104  as it is. If God created His Son perfect, that is how you must  learn to see him to learn of his reality. And as part of the Sonship,
Tx:9.104  created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to  learn of his reality. And as part of the Sonship, that is how you

Tx:10.11  know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit and without end to  learn how much He has given you. Your ability to accept Him depends
Tx:10.15  share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who  learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For
Tx:10.31  it is His. Your Soul does not need salvation, but your mind needs to  learn what salvation is. You are not saved from anything, but you are
Tx:10.34  the denial of this simple fact takes many forms, and these you must  learn to recognize and to oppose steadfastly and without exception.
Tx:10.47 What you must  learn to recognize is that the last thing the ego wishes you to
Tx:10.49  then, you have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to  learn what he believes would destroy him.
Tx:10.50  this is impossible. Only by learning what fear is, can you finally  learn to distinguish the possible from the impossible and the false
Tx:10.63  obedience, for obedience implies submission. He would only have you  learn your own will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and
Tx:10.68  as valuable as mine. For your part must be like mine if you  learn it of me. If you believe that yours is limited, you are
Tx:10.76  learned, and you are not without a Teacher. Yet your willingness to  learn of Him depends on your willingness to question everything you
Tx:10.80  of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you  learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you. God gives;
Tx:10.81  restore, be capable of misinterpreting the question you must ask to  learn His answer?
Tx:10.83  who will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you  learn that His answer is the release from fear. Beautiful Child of
Tx:10.85  will not disappear in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to  learn of the reality of your brother because this is what you will

Tx:10.89  only their lack of understanding which frightens them, and when they  learn to perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this,
Tx:10.90  deceived in you, you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet you can  learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you
Tx:11.11  of your deep sense of loss. If when you perceive it in others you  learn to supply the loss, the basic cause of fear is removed. Thereby
Tx:11.13  against it the underlying appeal for it? And how could you better  learn of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by giving
Tx:11.13  fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus will you  learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with the fact of
Tx:11.18  dream of hatred will not leave you without help, and help is here.  Learn to be quiet in the midst of turmoil, for quietness is the end
Tx:11.35  to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you will  learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in
Tx:11.41 Behold the Guide your Father gave you that you might  learn you have eternal life. For death is not your Father's Will nor
Tx:11.46  could not trust your own love when you have attacked it. You cannot  learn of perfect love with a split mind because a split mind has made
Tx:11.47  resources. He becomes your resource because, of yourself, you cannot  learn. The learning situation in which you placed yourself is
Tx:11.48  where yours have clearly failed. Your learning goal has been not to  learn, and this cannot lead to successful learning. You cannot
Tx:11.48  a crucial learning failure. Would you ask those who have failed to  learn what learning aids are for? They do not know. For if they could
Tx:11.49  into curricular terms, this is the same as saying, “Try to  learn but do not succeed.” The result of this curriculum goal is
Tx:11.49  which this strange curriculum goal is against. If you are trying to  learn how not to learn and are using the aim of teaching to defeat
Tx:11.49  curriculum goal is against. If you are trying to learn how not to  learn and are using the aim of teaching to defeat itself, what can
Tx:11.50  you do not realize even yet that there is something you do will to  learn, and that you can learn it because it is your will to do so.

Tx:11.57  begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will  learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and
Tx:11.58  world, as you will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must  learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to pay it. Only then will you
Tx:11.59  Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you  learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability
Tx:11.62  what it does, you recognize its being. And by what it does, you  learn what it is. You cannot see your abilities, but you gain
Tx:11.63  you can see the results of His Presence, and through them you will  learn that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of
Tx:11.72  not yet want only that. Yet as I become more real to you, you will  learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you look
Tx:11.76  given me of the Father unless He had also given it to you? When you  learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. For you will

Tx:11.93 You will see me as you  learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has always sought his
Tx:11.95  guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his purity as yours,  learn of him that it is yours.
Tx:11.97  you what immortality is, for by accepting your guiltlessness, you  learn that the past has never been, and so the future is needless.
Tx:12.28  that is no more. And this decision is one of future pain. Unless you  learn that past pain is delusional, you are choosing a future of
Tx:12.31  It is His interpretation of the means of salvation which you must  learn to accept if you would share His goal of salvation for you.
Tx:12.39  offering to you has never changed. You who know not what you do can  learn what insanity is and look beyond it. It is given you to learn
Tx:12.39  do can learn what insanity is and look beyond it. It is given you to  learn how to deny insanity and come forth from your private world in
Tx:12.46  past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you will be able to  learn from what you see now. For the past can cast no shadow to
Tx:12.49  have looked for it where it is not and therefore have not found it.  Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it will dawn on eyes that
Tx:12.62  away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness to  learn the one you made is false.
Tx:12.70  and will but last until you step aside from all your needs and  learn that all of them have been fulfilled. Therefore He has no

Tx:13.25  come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you must  learn that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The Holy
Tx:13.40  and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you  learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you
Tx:13.42  Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to  learn that it is in you.

Tx:13.43  to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices.  Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of
Tx:13.43  the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will  learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light
Tx:13.48 If you are blessed and do not know it, you need to  learn it must be so. The knowledge is not taught, but its conditions
Tx:13.48  must be acquired, for it is they that have been thrown away. You can  learn to bless and cannot give what you have not. If, then, you offer
Tx:13.49  Atonement for yourself and learning you are guiltless. How could you  learn what has been done for you, but which you do not know, unless
Tx:13.52  of sharing what cannot be shared. And while you think it possible to  learn to do this, you will not believe all that is possible to learn
Tx:13.52  to learn to do this, you will not believe all that is possible to  learn to do.
Tx:13.53  therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what you can never  learn. His message is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple
Tx:13.54  is happiness. This has so confused you that you have undertaken to  learn to do what you can never do, believing that unless you learn
Tx:13.54  to learn to do what you can never do, believing that unless you  learn it, you will not be happy. You do not realize that the
Tx:13.55  you have believed that nothing can be precious and that you can  learn how to make the untrue true.
Tx:13.56  that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever  learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very difficult for

Tx:13.60  with him. And so you learn that what seemed hardest was the easiest.  Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make nothing
Tx:13.60  hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will never  learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your
Tx:13.61  over to the Holy Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to  learn the joyous lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation
Tx:13.63 Behold your brothers in their freedom and  learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you will waken

Tx:13.78  the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to  learn what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you
Tx:13.80  lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you?  Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His answer to everyone who
Tx:13.82  within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His loving guidance and  learn of all the happy communication that you have thrown away but
Tx:13.84  I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what He would have me  learn. And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He knows for

Tx:13.88  them that use it. On earth this is your only function, and you must  learn that it is all you want to learn.
Tx:13.88  is your only function, and you must learn that it is all you want to  learn.
Tx:13.89 You will feel guilty till you  learn this. For in the end, whatever form it takes, your guilt arises

Tx:14.9  not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to  learn from them.

Tx:14.59  only the insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can God  learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all power by Him,
Tx:14.59  learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all power by Him,  learn to be powerless? What have you taught yourselves that you can
Tx:14.62  Learn of His happiness, which is yours. But to accomplish this, all
Tx:14.64 Do not be concerned how you can  learn a lesson so completely different from everything you have
Tx:14.71  will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do we  learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is
Tx:14.72  always that they know nothing, but who have become willing to  learn everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves,
Tx:14.72  know nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything, will  learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not learn.
Tx:14.72  will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not  learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking
Tx:14.73  know unless the effects of understanding are with them can really  learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they want and nothing
Tx:15.1  calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for—to  learn just that and nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied
Tx:15.1  function until you have become such a consistent learner that you  learn only of Him. When this has happened, you will no longer need a
Tx:15.1  has happened, you will no longer need a teacher or time in which to  learn.
Tx:15.11 Time is inconceivable without change, yet holiness does not change.  Learn from this instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this
Tx:15.20  way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and will  learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance,
Tx:15.21  You will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To  learn to separate out this single second and begin to experience it
Tx:15.24  is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one which you must  learn to remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first,
Tx:15.24  all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will  learn to love it when you realize that it is true and constitutes a
Tx:15.30  to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept anything less than glory.  Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince of Peace, born in you in
Tx:15.30  have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when will you  learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace?
Tx:15.31 Remember that you  learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I
Tx:15.31  no more than I did. It is because I learned for you that you can  learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we
Tx:15.38 Would you  learn how perfect and immaculate is the holy altar on which your
Tx:15.39  instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you  learn to be willing to accept me is the measure of the time in which
Tx:15.63  If you would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you will  learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning
Tx:15.64  of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you will  learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what your
Tx:15.67  to look at it clearly, and by withdrawing your investment in it, to  learn to let it go. No one would choose to let go what he believes
Tx:15.74  Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will  learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot
Tx:15.79  He must side with every sign or token of your willingness to  learn of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to utilize whatever
Tx:15.80 Hear Him gladly and  learn of Him that you have need of no special relationships at all.
Tx:15.80  in them what you have thrown away. And through them you will never  learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you still desire
Tx:15.85  is accomplished in the holy instant. Yet it is needful for you to  learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to
Tx:15.91  its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will  learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy instant there
Tx:15.93  as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me.  Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation
Tx:15.104 You who believe that sacrifice is love must  learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings
Tx:16.5 True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You will  learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity for
Tx:16.26  yourself, the witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help you  learn. Their gratitude has joined with yours and God's to strengthen
Tx:16.26  outside your teaching and apart from it. But with them you must  learn that you but taught yourself and learned from the conviction
Tx:16.27 This year you will begin to  learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You have chosen
Tx:16.27  offers it to the teacher in gratitude and shares it with him. As you  learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is, will
Tx:16.27  you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you will  learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father
Tx:16.45 This is the “natural” condition of the separation, and those who  learn that it is not natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones.
Tx:16.67  where truth and beauty wait for you. Go on to meet them gladly, and  learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to give up
Tx:16.78  them for the illusions which you perceive in them. Thus will you  learn that you have been forgiven, for it is you who offered them
Tx:17.4  by giving some of it to one teacher and some to another. And so you  learn to deal with part of truth in one way and in another way the
Tx:17.5 Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and  learn what truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has
Tx:17.7  thanks the Father for. He was created to see this for you until you  learn to see it for yourself. And all His teaching leads to seeing it
Tx:17.9  could complete it thus. The real world, in its loveliness, you  learn to reach. Fantasies are all undone, and no one and nothing
Tx:17.21  increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you will  learn to seek for and establish conditions in which this beauty can
Tx:17.71 Yet think on this, and  learn the cause of faithlessness: You think you hold against the
Tx:18.38  assume His function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may  learn how little is your part and how great is His.
Tx:18.49 There is nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately  learn, for it is [in that] realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is
Tx:18.95  not for us to dwell on what cannot be attained. There is too much to  learn. The readiness for knowledge still must be attained.
Tx:19.16 Let then your dedication be to the eternal and  learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to time. For
Tx:19.67  and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So will you  learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom to each other and
Tx:19.77  to death. For it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet you must  learn still more about this strange devotion, for it contains the
Tx:19.97  them and go beyond them. It would not have you see its weakness and  learn it has no power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who
Tx:20.5  thing to draw your brother to you and to attract his body's eyes?  Learn you but offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it for
Tx:20.33  concerned with anything except the part that has been given you to  learn. For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help.
Tx:20.33  world goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to  learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it
Tx:20.44  hands in safety and in peace. Let us consider now what he must  learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the
Tx:20.56  him to replace the unholy one he chose before. And here can he  learn relationships are his salvation and not his doom. You who are
Tx:20.59  and say, “I want this above all else, and yet I do not want to  learn the means to get it”?
Tx:20.68  doubts for certainty? Would you not willingly be free of misery and  learn again of joy? Your holy relationship offers all this to you. As
Tx:21.2  decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made and  learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The world you see
Tx:21.5 There is no need to  learn through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are
Tx:21.5  and are remembered gladly. What gives you happiness you want to  learn and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is
Tx:21.13 We have repeated how little is asked of you to  learn this course. It is the same small willingness you need to have
Tx:21.64  and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you will  learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can teach him only that
Tx:21.67  Love plans is like Itself in this: being united, It would have you  learn what you must be. And being one with It, it must be given you
Tx:21.67  the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your brother, and  learn with him what has been given both of you. To give is no more
Tx:22.25  And all the misery you made has been your own. Are you not glad to  learn it is not true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the
Tx:22.30 The ego's whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot  learn this course. Share this belief, and reason will be unable to
Tx:22.43  is given to be the givers of what they have received. And so they  learn that it is theirs forever. All barriers disappear before their
Tx:22.44  your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you will  learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It is no
Tx:24.2 To  learn this course requires willingness to question every value that
Tx:24.67  To no one here is this describable. Nor is there any way to  learn what this condition means. Not till you go past learning to the
Tx:25.4  to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you  learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is
Tx:25.6  to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you  learn what seems to have a life apart has none.
Tx:25.12  there ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you  learn it gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only
Tx:25.21  is given not to you. For what you give is His, and giving it you  learn to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He
Tx:25.63  He wrested it from you against your will. And so you would not  learn it is your will to be without it. You need not give it to Him
Tx:25.66 You who know not of justice still can ask and  learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same way. It is not
Tx:25.74  Each special function He allots is but for this—that each one  learn that love and justice are not separate. And both are
Tx:26.30  is for. This is its only purpose, for only that is all there is to  learn. And you can learn it many different ways. All learning is a
Tx:26.30  only purpose, for only that is all there is to learn. And you can  learn it many different ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to
Tx:26.60 Cause and effect are one, not separate. God wills you  learn what always has been true—that He created you as part of Him,
Tx:27.18  the world will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you  learn when you but wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of
Tx:27.53 Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you will  learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for
Tx:27.89  want to know. They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but  learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently will
Tx:27.90  world and kept your brother separate from you. Now need you but to  learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one thing that is
Tx:27.90  each other; that they both be true. This is the only secret yet to  learn. And it will be no secret you are healed.
Tx:28.7  And who would keep a senseless lesson in his mind when he can  learn and can preserve a better one? When ancient memories of hate
Tx:28.9  which you confused with cause. It can deserve but laughter when you  learn you have remembered consequences which were causeless and could
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you  learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you
Tx:28.25  learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you  learn and shows you its effects are what you want. In His forgiving
Tx:28.26  the lesson will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you  learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it
Tx:29.8  behind which you can hide? There is a shock that comes to those who  learn their savior is their enemy no more. There is a wariness that
Tx:29.10 Why would you not perceive it as release from suffering to  learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead
Tx:29.20  he is a body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must  learn he is a savior first, before he can remember what he is. And he
Tx:29.35  Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But  learn instead how blessed are you who can release him just by
Tx:29.50  the pictures it projects outside itself? Save time, my brothers;  learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a world made
Tx:30.34  perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and  learn your will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he
Tx:30.37  one walks upon the earth but must depend on your decision, that he  learn death has no power over him because he shares your freedom as
Tx:30.50  he is afraid because he thought the rules protected him. Now must he  learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules,
Tx:30.69  enemy. But when they joined and shared a purpose, they were free to  learn their will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach to their
Tx:30.74  the miracle its strength to overlook illusions. This is how you  learn that you must be forgiven too. There can be no appearance that
Tx:31.1  and can have no effects. And that is all. Can this be hard to  learn by anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn
Tx:31.1  to learn by anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to  learn it could make such an easy lesson difficult. How hard is it to
Tx:31.2  it not with difficulty in the simple things salvation asks you  learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from one
Tx:31.2  For somehow you believe that what is totally confused is easier to  learn and understand. What you have taught yourselves is such a giant
Tx:31.2  you wanted to and did not pause in diligence to judge it hard to  learn, or too complex to grasp.
Tx:31.3  curtains to obscure the simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot  learn them. For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you
Tx:31.3  and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them. For your power to  learn is strong enough to teach you that your will is not your own,
Tx:31.4  taught yourselves the Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot  learn the simple things salvation teaches you!
Tx:31.5  of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not true, too hard to  learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really true.
Tx:31.5  to see, and too opposed to what is really true. Yet you will  learn them, for their learning is the only purpose for your learning
Tx:31.6  His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson will you  learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far beyond all
Tx:31.7  which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will  learn God's Son is innocent and see another world.
Tx:31.11  temptation but a wish to make the wrong decision on what you would  learn and have an outcome that you do not want? It is the recognition
Tx:31.12  your mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to  learn of him and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and
Tx:31.12  Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to learn of him and  learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and you are born

Tx:31.24  receive, for you have come with but one purpose—that you both may  learn you love each other with a brother's love. And as a brother,

Tx:31.35  is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you really  learn they are but one. The roads this world can offer seem to be

Tx:31.36  time unless you go beyond what you have learned to what is yet to  learn. For from this lowest point will learning lead to heights of
Tx:31.38  this step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to  learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search for
Tx:31.39  the way. To you who seem to find this course to be too difficult to  learn, let me repeat that to achieve a goal you must proceed in its
Tx:31.39  this be difficult to understand, then is this course impossible to  learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a simple teaching in the
Tx:31.56  shown that different thoughts have different consequence. So it can  learn that everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it
Tx:31.59 The world can teach no images of you unless you want to  learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and
Tx:31.66  as it was perceived before will change the world for eyes that  learn to see, because the concept of the self has changed. Are you
Tx:31.82  whom God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you  learn that it is you for whom He asks release? And what but this is
Tx:31.82  what this course would teach? And what but this is there for you to  learn?
Tx:31.87 Trials are but lessons which you failed to  learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before,
Tx:31.89  Learn then the happy habit of response to all temptation to perceive
W1:I.4  exercise should be practiced with the eyes open, since the aim is to  learn how to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is
W1:5.1  will be perceived as different. This is not true. However, until you  learn that form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject
W1:13.3 It is essential, therefore, that you  learn to recognize the meaningless and accept it without fear. If you
W1:17.1  other way around. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must  learn that it is the way you think. If it were not so, perception
W1:23.2 If the cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must  learn that it is these thoughts which you do not want. There is no
W1:24.2  of your conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot  learn. The idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that
W1:26.1  ultimately save you. But you are misusing it now. You must therefore  learn how it can be used for your own best interests rather than
W1:29.3 Try then today to begin to  learn how to look on all things with love, appreciation, and
W1:37.9  Offer him the blessing of your holiness immediately that you may  learn to keep it in your own awareness.
W1:44.5 Your mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to  learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that
W1:R1.4  at your stage of learning. It will be necessary, however, that you  learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have
W1:R1.5  them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. You will yet  learn that peace is part of you and requires only that you be there
W1:R1.5  to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you will  learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your peace is
W1:51.2  has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I may  learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. I
W1:52.4  Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me  learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving
W1:63.1  the power to bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can  learn to recognize the means for letting this be done through you!
W1:64.2  purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you  learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this

W1:78.6  him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you will  learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in everyone
W1:81.7 Let this help me  learn what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my
W1:83.5  is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must  learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would find happiness.
W1:99.14  shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to  learn to lay all fear aside and know your Self as Love Which has no
W1:102.6  there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to find it when you  learn it is your choice and that you share God's Will.
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you will  learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never

W1:108.6 To  learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness

W1:R3.3  carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control.  Learn to distinguish situations which are poorly suited to your
W1:R3.11  periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you  learn each day to everything you do.
W1:R3.14  forget how little you have learned. Do not forget how much you can  learn now. Do not forget your Father's need of you as you review

W1:121.7  it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you will  learn.
W1:121.8  Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can  learn today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own
W1:121.9  believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to  learn today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one
W1:121.9  of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend. And as you  learn to see them both as one, we will extend the lesson to yourself
W1:126.12 All that I give is given to myself. The Help I need to  learn that this is true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.
W1:127.9  waiting for salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you  learn. Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the

W1:127.11  who makes the journey with you and who came to learn what you must  learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this message from your Self:
W1:127.12  with the Love of God which I would share with you. For I would  learn the joyous lesson that there is no love but God's and yours and
W1:130.6  made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would  learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two
W1:131.5 Be glad that search you must. Be glad as well to  learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really want.
W1:132.8 But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to  learn there is no world and can accept the lesson now. Their
W1:133.4  choose. The choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to  learn the laws you set in motion when you choose and what
W1:133.6  you make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you  learn the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing,
W1:135.24  I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be strong, and I will  learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.27  the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense to  learn the part for you within the plan of God. What little plans or
W1:135.28  of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning.  Learn today. And all the world will take this giant stride and
W1:139.7  they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they  learn it is impossible to doubt yourself and not to be aware of what
W1:139.13  cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of God. And  learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the
W1:140.14  our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we  learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a

W1:153.17  we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and  learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to come, while

W1:157.3  to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. This you will  learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed,
W1:158.2  creation gave. All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to  learn to give today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early
W1:158.5 The teacher does not give experience because he did not  learn it. It revealed itself to him at its appointed time. But vision
W1:158.10 Thus do you  learn to give as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you
W1:158.10  vision looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to  learn if you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be

W1:168.3  us up, taking salvation's final step Himself. All steps but this we  learn, instructed by His Voice. But finally He comes Himself and
W1:170.2  swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. Today we  learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than
W1:174.3 [158] Today I  learn to give as I receive. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:182.9  today. For He was willing to become a little child that you might  learn of Him how strong is he who comes without defenses, offering
W1:182.10  little Child each time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must  learn that what he would protect is but this Child, Who comes
W1:189.5 What would you see? The choice is given you. But  learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you will
W1:189.6  as Itself, Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We  learn the way today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it
W1:191.6  you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you  learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no need to use
W1:193.5 These are the lessons God would have you  learn. His Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving
W1:193.10 Shall we not  learn to say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is
W1:193.10  is real and death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not  learn to say these words when we have understood their power to
W1:193.11  wrong or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should  learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the
W1:193.12  it. Would you now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to  learn the simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all
W1:193.13 All things are lessons God would have you  learn. He would not leave an unforgiving thought without correction
W1:193.15  truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have us  learn.
W1:193.17  eternal in the world of time. This is the lesson God would have you  learn: there is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you
W1:194.6  to temptation, you extend your learning to the world. And as you  learn to see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to  learn for those who look upon the world amiss. The most that they can
W1:195.9 Today we  learn to think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge.
W1:196.2  Yet must it fail to understand the truth it uses thus. But you can  learn to see these foolish applications and deny the meaning they
W1:197.6  and you will think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But  learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside
W1:198.5  And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and  learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss
W1:200.7  see that, as he looks on it, the world can but deceive? Yet can he  learn to look on it another way and find the peace of God.
W1:R6.2  all and let them blend as one, as each contributes to the whole we  learn.
W1:213.1 [193] All things are lessons God would have me  learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in place of
W1:213.1  God offers to me in place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I  learn of Him becomes the way I am set free. And so I choose to learn
W1:213.1  I learn of Him becomes the way I am set free. And so I choose to  learn His lessons and forget my own. I am not a body. I am free. For
W2:WF.4  his failure to forgive. But he who would forgive himself must  learn to welcome truth exactly as it is.
W2:273.1  is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to  learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a
W2:273.1  such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us  learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our
W2:275.1  has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and  learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God tells
W2:275.1  the Voice of God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor  learn apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this
W2:296.2 We teach today what we would  learn and that alone. And so our learning goal becomes an
W2:319.1  what one gains totality must lose. And yet it is the Will of God I  learn that what one gains is given unto all.
W2:321.2  has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation when we  learn our freedom can be found in God alone.
W2:327.1  has promised He will hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but  learn from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must
W2:337.1  more. God has already done all things that need be done. And I must  learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my
W2:338.2  will fail. And I will have thoughts that will frighten me until I  learn that You have given me the only Thought which leads me to
W2:343.2  that must be freely given and received, and it is this that we would  learn today.
W2:346.2  today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will  learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except God's

Tx:6.40  because you are sharing it. Every lesson you teach you are  learning.

Tx:11.50  A necessary minor, supplementing this major curriculum goal, is  learning how not to overcome the split which made this goal

Tx:11.50  your learning is on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your  learning, as your learning speaks against your will, and so you fight
Tx:11.50  on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your learning, as your  learning speaks against your will, and so you fight against learning
Tx:11.50  as your learning speaks against your will, and so you fight against  learning and succeed, for that is your will. But you do not realize
Tx:11.51  of an honest appraisal of what you have taught yourselves and of the  learning outcomes which have resulted. Under the proper learning

Tx:13.47  Yet in this world, you do not know it. But you have the means for  learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The Holy Spirit uses logic
Tx:13.49  you must have let guilt go, accepting the Atonement for yourself and  learning you are guiltless. How could you learn what has been done
Tx:13.54  You do not realize that the foundation on which this most peculiar  learning goal depends means absolutely nothing. It does make sense to
Tx:13.61  what is builded there is true and built on truth. The universe of  learning will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With

Tx:14.10  in the unified curriculum of the Atonement. There is no unity of  learning goals apart from this. There is no conflict in this
Tx:14.58 Yet the essential thing is  learning that you do not know. Knowledge is power, and all power is

Tx:14.60  now. Learning has been accomplished before its effects are manifest.  Learning is therefore in the past, but its influence determines the
Tx:14.60  the present by giving it whatever meaning it holds for you. Your  learning gives the present no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever
Tx:14.65  I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past  learning as the light to guide me now.

Tx:15.16  whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to  learning it have been removed? Truth is so far beyond time that all
Tx:15.35 This course is not beyond immediate  learning unless you prefer to believe that what God wills takes time.
Tx:15.45 The holy instant is the Holy Spirit's most useful  learning device for teaching you love's meaning. For its purpose is
Tx:15.46 The past is the ego's chief  learning device, for it is in the past that you learned to define
Tx:15.48  relationships, which you have chosen to support the ego, as a  learning experience which points to truth. Under His teaching, every

Tx:16.27 This year you will begin to learn and make  learning commensurate with teaching. You have chosen this by your own
Tx:16.57  to know yourself. Its whole thought system is a carefully contrived  learning experience designed to lead away from truth and into
Tx:16.57  designed to lead away from truth and into fantasy. Yet for every  learning that would hurt you, God offers you correction and complete
Tx:17.10  when it has been perfected, for everything that has been used for  learning will have no function. Nothing will ever change; no shifts
Tx:17.56  to correct all your mistakes and free you from their results. And  learning this, you will have also learned how to release all the
Tx:18.35  to teach you what they are. If you maintain you are unworthy of  learning this, you are interfering with the lesson by believing that
Tx:18.95  need remember only that whoever attains the real world, beyond which  learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a different way. Where
Tx:18.95  learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a different way. Where  learning ends there God begins, for learning ends before Him Who is

Tx:18.96 Love is not learned. Its meaning lies in itself. And  learning ends when you have recognized all it is not. That is the
Tx:18.96  not learned because there never was a time in which you knew it not.  Learning is useless in the Presence of your Creator, Whose
Tx:18.96  Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far transcend all  learning that everything you learned is meaningless, replaced forever
Tx:18.98  you will remember nothing else, and memory will be as useless as  learning, for your only purpose will be creating. Yet this you cannot

Tx:21.5  will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would, the  learning of it would be no problem. You are not happy learners yet
Tx:22.60 On your  learning depends the welfare of the world. And it is only arrogance
Tx:24.2  Not one can be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your  learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate
Tx:24.67  any way to learn what this condition means. Not till you go past  learning to the Given; not till you make again a holy home for your

Tx:26.22  unless he recognizes they are not the same? This difference is the  learning goal this course has set. It will not go beyond this aim.
Tx:26.30  all there is to learn. And you can learn it many different ways. All  learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven. Nothing in

Tx:27.41 An honest question is a  learning tool which asks for something that you do not know. It does
Tx:27.50  because they really are the same despite their different forms. All  learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete within two
Tx:27.50  Who does not see the differences you see. The total transfer of your  learning is not made by you. But that it has been made in spite of
Tx:27.51  It cannot be their differences which made this possible, for  learning does not jump from situations to their opposites and bring
Tx:27.52 Leave, then, the transfer of your  learning to the One Who really understands its laws and Who will
Tx:27.52  you to yourself, and He will do the rest. And thus the power of your  learning will be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it
Tx:29.8  is their enemy no more. There is a wariness that is aroused by  learning that the body is not real. And there are overtones of
Tx:30.6  this will not happen. But it does occur at first, while you are  learning how to hear.

Tx:31.5  Learning is an ability you made and gave yourselves. It was not made
Tx:31.5  that a will apart from It was yet more real than It. And this has  learning sought to demonstrate, and you have learned what it was made

Tx:31.36  road. No longer look for hope where there is none. Make fast your  learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond

Tx:31.46  of it. The other side he does not want to see. Yet it is here the  learning of the world has set its sights, for it is here the world's
Tx:31.49 Concepts are learned. They are not natural. Apart from  learning, they do not exist. They are not given, and they must be
Tx:31.50  what it is for and therefore cannot picture what it is. Yet is all  learning which the world directs begun and ended with the single aim
Tx:31.55  before these concepts of the self. And something must have done the  learning which gave rise to them. Nor can this be explained by either

W1:45.2  think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not  leave their source. Therefore your thoughts are in the Mind of God,
W1:45.4  form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We will attempt to  leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the world in
W1:57.2  them off merely by desiring to do so. The prison door is open. I can  leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this world. Only
W1:63.2  meaningless desire in its place or you will forget your function and  leave the Son of God in hell. This is no idle request that is being

W1:91.5  set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try to  leave your weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply, as you
W1:92.8  ask in vain to share its sight, and none who enters its abode can  leave without a miracle before his eyes and strength and light
W1:92.10  strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you.  Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice

W1:128.1  of despair. No one but must accept this thought as true, if he would  leave this world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and little
W1:128.5  letting go all thought of values we have given to the world. We  leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its phases and its
W1:131.10  in what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find.  Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to
W1:132.6 Ideas  leave not their source. This central theme is often stated in the
W1:132.11  yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas  leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind
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 from

W1:167.3  But its origin is where it must be changed if change occurs. Ideas  leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on that

W1:193.13 All things are lessons God would have you learn. He would not  leave an unforgiving thought without correction nor one thorn or nail
W1:197.2  you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home. Nor will you  leave the prison house or claim your strength until guilt and
W1:200.8 Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross to  leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived
W1:200.11  want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to  leave the world of ambiguity and to replace our shifting goals and
W2:I.1  which remain are merely introductions to the times in which we  leave the world of pain and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach
W2:I.6  these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to  leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by
W2:225.2  peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never  leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek as we
W2:243.2 Father, today I  leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I

W2:316.1  gift I give belongs to me. Each one allows a past mistake to go and  leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father loves. His grace is given
W2:331.1  a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never  leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How

Tx:13.81  your Father would have you share it with Him. In everything be  led by Him and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly,
Tx:13.92  easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you will be  led as gently as if you were being carried along a quiet path in
Tx:14.36  into the place where you must meet with truth. And there you must be  led, through gentle understanding which can lead you nowhere else.
Tx:16.48  the attempt to find the imagined “best” of both worlds has merely  led to fantasies of both and to the inability to perceive either one

Tx:28.15  For God has closed it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and  left a stranded Son forever on a shore where he can glimpse another
Tx:28.33 God builds the bridge, but only in the space  left clean and vacant by the miracle. The seeds of sickness and the
Tx:28.34  who stored a heap of snow that shone like silver. They have nothing  left behind the open door. What is the world except a little gap
Tx:28.36  has shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is  left for all the rest to share. The Guests have brought unlimited
Tx:28.43  he was separated from his brother who, by sharing not his dream, has  left the space between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His
Tx:28.44  is the picture that the miracle will place within the little gap,  left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the
Tx:28.52  which separates the truth from dreams and from illusions. Truth has  left no room for them in any place or time. For it fills every place
Tx:29.31  of illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which time has  left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so
Tx:29.34  that grasp in dreams of pain. They hold no sword, for they have  left their hold on every vain illusion of the world. And being empty,
Tx:29.58  be. An idol is beyond where God has set all things forever and has  left no room for anything to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere
Tx:29.68  can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness which never  left the altar which abides forever deep within the Son of God. And
Tx:30.47  its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never  left the mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that
Tx:30.50  He misunderstood what made him safe and thought that it had  left.
Tx:30.59  For thus is he made ready for the step in which is all forgiveness  left behind.
Tx:30.82 Would God have  left the meaning of the world to your interpretation? If He had, it

Tx:31.9  that you do not leave its call unheard. Without your answer is it  left to die, as it is saved from death when you have heard its
Tx:31.12  to live, as you are free because an ancient learning passed away and  left a place for truth to be reborn.
Tx:31.41 He has not  left His Thoughts! But you forgot His Presence and remembered not His

W1:14.3  Some of them will lead you directly into fear. You will not be  left there. You will go far beyond it. Our direction is toward
W1:45.3  is where they are. They must still be there because they cannot have  left. What is thought by the Mind of God is eternal, being part of
W1:56.6  it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not  left His thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one
W1:68.6  against whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort. This has  left you alone in all the universe in your perception of yourself.
W1:75.2  It is a new era in which a new world is born. The old one has  left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a different world

W1:94.5  nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self which never  left its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self
W1:123.2  received. Be glad today in loving thankfulness your Father has not  left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be

W1:140.4  And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with nothing  left to which it can return.
W1:152.14  humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never  left will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home
W1:153.9  in which attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have  left all fearful thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand

W1:155.5  loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly  left behind. This is the way appointed for you now. You walk this
W1:155.10  in the way you traveled will be gone from you as well, with nothing  left to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself.
W1:158.1  wholly unafraid because you were created out of Love. Nor have you  left your Source, remaining as you were created. This was given you
W1:164.5  to obscurity. Now is the balance righted and the scales of judgment  left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment will a world unfold
W1:165.2 The Thought of God created you. It  left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an instant. It

W2:FL.1 Our final lessons will be  left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning

Tx:6.9  You are merely asked to follow my example in the face of much  less extreme temptations to misperceive and not to accept them
Tx:6.64  Sons of God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and nothing  less. Without a range, an order of difficulty is meaningless, and
Tx:6.74  its only alternative here since the other one, which would be much  less acceptable to it, would obviously be that it is insane. The

Tx:9.33  all as one. Only God Himself is more than they, but they are not  less than He is. Would you know what this means? If what you do to my
Tx:9.33  Glory belongs to Him, but it is equally yours. You cannot, then, be  less glorious than He is.
Tx:10.61  I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you will become  less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for to
Tx:10.61  you to a new kind of experience, which you will become less and  less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for to perceive
Tx:13.20  you would not have displaced the guilt onto what you believed to be  less fearful. You are therefore willing with little opposition to
Tx:13.24  the past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even  less, will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in
Tx:13.56  Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and nothing are you  less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what is true and

Tx:15.26  yourself His power. God is not willing that His Son be content with  less than everything. For He is not content without His Son, and His
Tx:15.26  is not content without His Son, and His Son cannot be content with  less than his Father has given him. We asked you once before, “Would
Tx:15.30  sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept anything  less than glory. Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince of

Tx:15.50  to substitute one aspect of love for another, you have placed  less value on one and more on the other. You have not only separated
Tx:15.54  to understand it. Every brother God loves as He loves you—neither  less nor more. He needs them all equally, and so do you. In time you
Tx:15.98  love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand  less of you than God, and of the two is judged as the lesser of two
Tx:16.73  your destruction to be. That this is insane is obvious. But what is  less obvious to you is that the present is useless to you while you
Tx:17.18 —the more reality that enters into the unholy relationship, the  less satisfying it becomes. And the more the fantasies can encompass,
Tx:17.19  of the other does not enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the  less the other really brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus,
Tx:17.39  for perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of death grows  less convincing as you search it out amid its wrappings. As each
Tx:18.34  with littleness. But it does require that you be not content with  less than greatness, which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the
Tx:18.81  holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither  less nor more. Asking for everything, you will receive it. And your
Tx:19.5  opposite of faithlessness. Yet the difference in how they operate is  less apparent, though it follows directly from the fundamental
Tx:21.1  more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not  less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your
Tx:21.67  you. To give is no more blessed than to receive. But neither is it  less.
Tx:23.15  be the truer, the more real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was  less real, made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice
Tx:23.38  these laws are true. The seeming gentler forms of the attack are no  less certain in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is
Tx:23.55  What can conflict with everything? And what is there that offers  less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the love of God upholding
Tx:24.36  it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make  less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to miracles.
Tx:24.60 Now you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with far  less vigilance—with little effort and with little time and with the

Tx:25.58  and all the sin he sees within the world offer him less and  less— until he comes to understand it cost him his sanity and
Tx:25.66  by far the greater part. And in the total cost, the greater his, the  less is yours. And justice, being blind, is satisfied by being paid,
Tx:25.76  Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or  less is not aware that he has everything. He is no judge of what must

Tx:25.83  It is not a special gift to some to be withheld from others as  less worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from healing. Who is

Tx:26.51 It is impossible that one illusion be  less amenable to truth than are the rest. But it is possible that
Tx:26.51  the rest. But it is possible that some are given greater value and  less willingly offered to truth for healing and for help. No illusion

Tx:27.17  here is his forgiveness proved to him. A miracle can offer nothing  less to him than it has given unto you. So does your healing show
Tx:27.21  sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even  less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And need
Tx:27.53  effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be far  less than all there really are. Infinity cannot be understood by

Tx:29.17  be more than this lies the idea of sickness. For it asks that God be  less than all He really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it is you
Tx:29.19  from sickness and from death. For what is yours cannot be more nor  less than what is his.
Tx:29.28  they exist from which the fears arise. Dreams are not wanted more or  less. They are desired or not. And each one represents some function

W1:17.9  if you do, the length of the practice period may be reduced to  less than the minute or so which is otherwise recommended.
W1:18.7 A minute or so or even  less will be sufficient.

W1:28.4  to the table just as much as to anything else, neither more nor  less.
W1:32.4  practice periods, three to five minutes are recommended, with not  less than three required. More than five can be utilized if you find
W1:39.10  It will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and  less distractible.
W1:43.10 Or any thought related more or  less directly to today's idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear
W1:66.16 It will not take more than a minute, and probably  less, to repeat these words slowly and think about them a little
W1:71.15  an hour. There could be no better way to spend a half-minute or  less than to remember the Source of your salvation and to see it
W1:77.3  we will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with  less.
W1:77.10 Remember, too, not to be satisfied with  less than the perfect answer. Be quick to tell yourself, should you

W1:105.11  minutes thus with Him each time you can today, but do not think that  less is worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least remember
W1:107.2  Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even  less—when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were
W1:122.4  meaningless requests, half-hearted willingness to hear, and  less than halfway diligence and partial trust.
W1:124.9 Your benefit will not be  less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to
W1:136.3  the rapidity with which you choose to use them. In that second, even  less, in which the choice is made, you recognize exactly what you
W1:153.15  is too short a time to spend with God. Nor will we willingly give  less at night in gratitude and joy.

W1:195.1  cause for thanks while others have less cause, and who could suffer  less because he sees another suffer more? Your gratitude is due to
W1:R6.1  Besides the time we give morning and evening, which should not be  less than 15 minutes, and the hourly remembrances we make throughout
W2:WF.2  its chains so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure,  less easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. What
W2:272.1  What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no  less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever
W2:288.2  me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be  less holy than can I, and you cannot be holier than he.
W2:318.1  How could there be a single part that stands aside or one of more or  less importance than the rest? I am the means by which God's Son is
W2:334.2 I seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing  less than this. What then can be his solace but what You are offering

Tx:6.41  is the one lesson which is perfectly unified, because it is the only  lesson which is one. Only by teaching it can you learn it. “As you
Tx:6.66  He wants you to keep it. Therefore, His teaching begins with the  lesson:

Tx:6.77  perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His second  lesson is:

Tx:6.86 This is a major step toward fundamental change. Yet it is still a  lesson in thought reversal since it implies that there is something
Tx:6.86  you must be vigilant against. It has advanced far from the first  lesson, which was primarily a reversal and also from the second,
Tx:6.87  already that you can be as vigilant against the ego as for it. This  lesson teaches not only that you can be, but that you must be. It

Tx:7.70  You cannot be totally committed sometimes. Remember a very early  lesson—“Never underestimate the power of denial.” It has no power
Tx:7.77  another. One Teacher is in all your minds, and He teaches the same  lesson to all. He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every

Tx:7.106  joy. The miracle is therefore a lesson in what joy is. Being a  lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in love, which is joy. Every

Tx:13.56  seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins His  lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is
Tx:13.56  the fundamental teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest  lesson you will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity

Tx:13.62  For truth is true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple  lesson holds the key to the dark door which you believe is locked
Tx:13.70  learning that darkness has no power over the Son of God is the happy  lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It
Tx:13.71 The way to teach this simple  lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is invulnerability. Therefore,
Tx:14.11  only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy  lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's
Tx:14.50  learn that you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This  lesson the Holy Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show
Tx:14.59  For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the Son of God, a  lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could
Tx:14.61  of this course. Yet God did not abandon you. And so you have another  lesson sent from Him, already learned for every Child of light by Him
Tx:14.61  learned for every Child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This  lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies His power, which He
Tx:14.62  laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark  lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept from
Tx:14.62  do not want it. And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright  lesson He has learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have
Tx:14.62  for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never believe that any  lesson you have learned apart from Him means anything.
Tx:14.63  your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned God's  lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are dark lessons
Tx:14.63  do not will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark  lesson teaches this in one form or another. And each bright lesson,
Tx:14.63  dark lesson teaches this in one form or another. And each bright  lesson, with which the Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do
Tx:14.64 Do not be concerned how you can learn a  lesson so completely different from everything you have taught
Tx:14.71  against Him. For He teaches the miracle of oneness, and before His  lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you will
Tx:15.10 This  lesson takes no time. For what is time without a past and future? It
Tx:15.16  past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole  lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to
Tx:15.17  eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, being the  lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed to
Tx:15.21  not that you will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His  lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will
Tx:15.24  yourself, and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The  lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when
Tx:15.48  points to truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a  lesson in love.
Tx:15.60  it within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus becomes a  lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, experiencing
Tx:15.76  is the cause of loneliness. And despite the evident insanity of this  lesson, you have learned it.
Tx:15.107  as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand this  lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice
Tx:15.108 The  lesson I was born to teach and still would teach to all my brothers
Tx:18.35  you are unworthy of learning this, you are interfering with the  lesson by believing that you make the learner different. You did not
Tx:19.15  begin. For faith is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the  lesson has been learned. Yet truth will stay forever.
Tx:20.29  lies his own salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a  lesson in giving, as the Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the
Tx:24.68  and yet it has no meaning to anyone who still retains one unlearned  lesson in his memory, one thought with purpose still uncertain, or
Tx:27.49  everything the world requires that it may be healed. It needs one  lesson which has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it
Tx:27.79  the dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This single  lesson does it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more
Tx:27.86  on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single  lesson learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it
Tx:27.87 The Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive  lesson of deliverance until it has been learned, regardless of the
Tx:27.89  from all the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single  lesson truly learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from
Tx:28.7  yourself, for you were badly taught. And who would keep a senseless  lesson in his mind when he can learn and can preserve a better one?
Tx:28.10  You need no healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a  lesson in allowing Cause to have Its own effects and doing nothing
Tx:28.25 Like every  lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is
Tx:28.26  the body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the  lesson will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn
Tx:28.26  if you learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the  lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that
Tx:28.26  can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. The  lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be sick;
Tx:31.1  to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make such an easy  lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be
Tx:31.2  It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from one apparent  lesson to the next in easy steps which lead you gently from one to
Tx:31.4  without complaint until a world was built that suited you. And every  lesson that makes up the world arises from the first accomplishment
Tx:31.4  and still before its magnitude. The world began with one strange  lesson, powerful enough to render God forgotten and His Son an alien
Tx:31.6  And the power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which  lesson will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and
Tx:31.7  world follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the  lesson that God's Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world
Tx:31.7  produce. However much you may have overlearned your chosen task, the  lesson which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will
Tx:31.8 The outcome of the  lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no
Tx:31.8  creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second  lesson brings.
Tx:31.10 The fear of God results as surely from the  lesson that His Son is guilty as God's love must be remembered when
Tx:31.13 An ancient  lesson is not overcome by the opposing of the new and old. It is not
Tx:31.35  And yet this was the time they could have learned their greatest  lesson. All must reach this point and go beyond it. It is true indeed
Tx:31.35  there is no choice at all within the world. But this is not the  lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you come to
Tx:31.35  at all within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The  lesson has a purpose, and in this you come to understand what it is
Tx:31.36  another person, or another place when you have learned the way the  lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its purpose is
Tx:31.36  there is no hope of answer in the world. But do not judge the  lesson which is but begun with this. Seek not another signpost in the
Tx:31.36  lead to heights of happiness in which you see the purpose of the  lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your learning grasp.
Tx:31.47 Beneath the face of innocence there is a  lesson that the concept of the self was made to teach. It is a lesson
Tx:31.47  is a lesson that the concept of the self was made to teach. It is a  lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear so devastating that the
Tx:31.47  must forever look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The  lesson teaches this: “I am the thing you made of me, and as you look
Tx:31.48 Here is the central  lesson that ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For what you

W1:90.2  I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the  lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a

W1:108.7  the special case of giving and receiving. We will use this simple  lesson in the obvious because it has results we cannot miss. To give
W1:108.13 Our very simple  lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far

W1:127.8  love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He will bless the  lesson with His Love.
W1:127.12  of God which I would share with you. For I would learn the joyous  lesson that there is no love but God's and yours and mine and
W1:130.6  as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than just the  lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that the one
W1:132.6  in the text and must be borne in mind if you would understand the  lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the
W1:132.8  those who are prepared to learn there is no world and can accept the  lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some
W1:132.8  world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the  lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.
W1:132.10 A  lesson earlier repeated once must now be stressed again, for it

W1:153.1  and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again, attend this  lesson well. The world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this  lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive until we give
W1:154.13 Our  lesson for today is stated thus:
W1:157.3  eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every  lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy
W1:158.2  cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today? Our  lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text. Experience
W1:158.10  as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you as well. This  lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your brother you
W1:166.12  He has come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the  lesson that His giving holds, for He has saved you from the solitude
W1:170.2  and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. Today we learn a  lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than you can
W1:184.12 God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final  lesson that all things are one, and at this single lesson learning
W1:184.12  becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this single  lesson learning ends. All names are unified; all space is filled with
W1:185.6  mind which seeks for it in honesty can understand. Whatever form the  lesson takes is planned for him in such a way that he cannot mistake
W1:185.6  And if he asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the  lesson will meet with acceptance and be truly learned.
W1:190.10 This is the day when it is given you to realize the  lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is this: pain is
W1:193.4  Son with peace and joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each  lesson you would teach in hate to one in which forgiveness enters,
W1:193.4  cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the purpose of the  lesson has been changed to guiltlessness; the hatred has been rooted
W1:193.5  all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the Son He loves. Each  lesson has a central thought, the same in all of them. The form alone
W1:193.7  the form. It is this sameness which makes learning sure because the  lesson is so simple that it cannot be rejected in the end. No one can
W1:193.7  as easily in all of them if one but wants to see the simple  lesson there.
W1:193.11  when you are seeing wrong or someone else is failing to perceive the  lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it
W1:193.11  Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the  lesson is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in
W1:193.16  a little time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the  lesson in forgiveness in the form established for the day. And try to
W1:193.17  remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This is the  lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to look on everything
W1:194.6 If you can see the  lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you will not
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a  lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the world amiss. The
W1:R6.3  are centered round a central theme with which we start and end each  lesson. It is this:

W2:275.1 Let us today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient  lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been
W2:286.1  that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand the  lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every
M:3.5  perhaps for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the perfect  lesson is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn
M:3.5  is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that  lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may

M:9.2 As the teacher of God advances in his training, he learns one  lesson with increasing thoroughness. He does not make his own
M:12.4  body's purpose really is; the only use there really is for it. This  lesson is enough to let the thought of unity come in, and what is one
M:12.5 The central  lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it will
M:13.1  it came when there is no more use for it. Now its real meaning is a  lesson. Like all lessons, it is an illusion, for in reality there is
M:14.3  this? No; it is meaningless to anyone here. Yet it is the final  lesson in which unity is restored. It goes against all the thinking
M:14.4  bits and pieces of its thinking will still seem sensible. The final  lesson which brings the ending of the world cannot be grasped by
M:14.4  What, then, is the function of the teacher of God in this concluding  lesson? He need merely learn how to approach it, to be willing to go
M:14.4  He need merely trust that, if God's Voice tells him it is a  lesson he can learn, he can learn it. He does not judge it either as
M:17.1  real to both of them. How to deal with magic thus becomes a major  lesson for the teacher of God to master. His first responsibility in
M:17.3  is most apparent, and errors can be recognized by their results. A  lesson truly taught can lead to nothing but release for teacher and
M:18.2 God's teachers’ major  lesson is to learn how to react to magic thoughts wholly without
M:21.4  he will say. This process is merely a special case of the workbook  lesson “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of

M:23.5  perfect constancy. He has remained with you. Would you not learn the  lesson of salvation through his learning? Why would you choose to

Tx:18.33  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:18.33  to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this  lies also your acceptance of yourself as you were meant to be.
Tx:18.87  to you is quite external. There are no messages which speak of what  lies underneath, for it is not the body that could speak of this. Its
Tx:18.88 The circle of fear  lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the whole
Tx:18.96 Love is not learned. Its meaning  lies in itself. And learning ends when you have recognized all it is
Tx:18.97  of love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that  lies beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it will be
Tx:19.21  necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal. For here  lies its “best” defense which all the others serve. Here is its
Tx:19.38  it was given you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which already  lies deeply within must first expand and flow across the obstacles
Tx:19.61  body really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it  lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in death? Here
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that  lies in it will come with it, and what you think you are can never be
Tx:19.70  from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it  lies disillusionment and the seeds of faithlessness, but only if you
Tx:19.84  death that peace must flow across seems to be very great. For in it  lies hidden all the ego's secrets, all its strange devices for
Tx:19.86  not your protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and within it  lies the end of death.
Tx:19.90  the universe and of the universe of universes and of everything that  lies even beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in
Tx:19.92  is there. This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what  lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is
Tx:19.94  and each has been surmounted by the power of the attraction of what  lies beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be holding them in place.
Tx:19.110  this world and the long journey through this world whatever meaning  lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand together,
Tx:20.12  not how to look nor where. And now you know. In you the knowledge  lies, ready to be unveiled and freed from all the terror that kept it
Tx:20.25  eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom  lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness
Tx:20.29  are alien and can no more enter than can their source. And therein  lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin
Tx:20.29  you only love, but what you would receive of him is up to you. It  lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his own
Tx:20.29  up to you. It lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein  lies his own salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a
Tx:20.33  does not need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your part  lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the whole
Tx:20.39  the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what  lies so far beyond your judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not
Tx:20.45 The meaning of the Son of God  lies solely in his relationship with his Creator. If it were
Tx:20.51  threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy Spirit's purpose  lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped
Tx:20.64  a difference between this vain imagining and vision. The difference  lies not in them, but in their purpose. Both are but means, each one
Tx:21.2  you joined the Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that  lies between these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the
Tx:21.4  You can be shown which doors are open, and you can see where safety  lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment will
Tx:21.12  a miracle but this remembering? And who is there in whom this memory  lies not? The light in one awakens it in all. And when you see it in
Tx:21.14  but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation  lies:
Tx:21.22  you is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what  lies beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in;
Tx:21.34  it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His purpose  lies in the opposite direction. He sees the means you use but not the
Tx:21.43  have detached themselves from their belief that their identity  lies in the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with
Tx:21.48  Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that sureness  lies in doubt. This has no meaning. What matters it to you how loudly
Tx:21.51 There is another vision and another Voice in which your freedom  lies awaiting but your choice. And if you place your faith in them,
Tx:21.52  to which the idea of separation has interfered with reason. Reason  lies in the other Self you have cut off from your awareness. And
Tx:21.57 The part of mind where reason  lies was dedicated by your will in union with your Father's to the
Tx:22.4  finally removes all sense of differences so that the sameness that  lies beneath them all becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle
Tx:22.21  and belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you that misery  lies only on one side and joy upon the other.
Tx:22.27  time and yet beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the power that  lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth will be as it would
Tx:22.52  of the body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value  lies in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom.
Tx:22.60  you. Let us look straight at how this error came about, for here  lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of God in
Tx:22.62  the other feeling pain. And this belief you want. Yet wherein  lies its value except in the desire to attack in safety? Attack is
Tx:23.9  cannot join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their joining  lies in nothingness; two are as meaningless as one or as a thousand.
Tx:23.39  nor that return from one is easier. The whole descent from Heaven  lies in each one. And where your thinking starts, there must it end.
Tx:23.45  and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it  lies within them. How could they know? Could they accept forgiveness
Tx:24.49  He could never leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so  lies in your brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself
Tx:24.57  Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your brother  lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is done and he is
Tx:25.6  be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety  lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you as you would have
Tx:25.9  so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the error  lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the
Tx:25.13  no suggestions of success at all. To place your hopes where no hope  lies must make you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your choice,
Tx:26.21  thing to make a choice at all is this distinction. And herein  lies the difference between the worlds. In this one, choice is made
Tx:26.23  for choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet within this one  lies the undoing of every illusion, not excepting this.
Tx:26.24  union? All illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so  lies the ability to give up all attempts to choose between them and
Tx:26.25  be reflected from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits  lies. Nothing in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is
Tx:26.43  let it go, for it is gone. You stand no longer on the ground that  lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the world that
Tx:26.43  lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the world that  lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of God nor
Tx:26.50 God's answer  lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects
Tx:26.50  And this must be corrected where the illusion of reversal  lies.
Tx:26.59  attempt to prove your innocence while cherishing attack. Its failure  lies in that you still feel guilty, though without understanding why.
Tx:26.62  a miracle, whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing  lies, for God gave answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him
Tx:26.69  of gaining what forgiveness offers now. The interval you think  lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift seems to be one
Tx:26.75  which the “good” appears, is but one aspect of the little space that  lies between you, unforgiven still.
Tx:27.15  one and not the other. Who forgives is healed. And in his healing  lies the proof that he has truly pardoned and retains no trace of
Tx:27.16  which cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In their undoing  lies the proof that they were merely errors. Let yourself be healed
Tx:27.28  keeps because it has been shared. In His acceptance of this function  lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single purpose
Tx:27.56  truth is found in him if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he  lies, if you should call him by the holy Name of God Himself.
Tx:27.71  dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams  lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you dream in
Tx:27.81  beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, whose cause  lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers
Tx:28.35  will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness  lies and gently shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would
Tx:28.45  you, Father, knowing you will come to close each little gap that  lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness,
Tx:28.45  broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness, complete and perfect,  lies in every one of them. And they are joined because what is in one
Tx:28.50  illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety  lies and where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here
Tx:28.61  will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the healing  lies. What could correct for separation but its opposite? There is no
Tx:28.65  it with further locks and chains and heavy anchors when its weakness  lies not in itself but in the frailty of the little gap of
Tx:28.66  wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength  lies not within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on
Tx:29.5  of distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that  lies not within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now
Tx:29.5  do you endow it with a power that lies not within itself. And herein  lies its power over you. For now you think that it determines when
Tx:29.17  that it 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
Tx:29.34  given as his own. Because he has it is it given you, and where it  lies in him, behold your peace. The quiet that surrounds you dwells
Tx:29.35 If you but knew the glorious goal that  lies beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought,
Tx:29.38  the same in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein  lies the end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction,
Tx:29.48  idols in the hope of peace. God dwells within, and your completion  lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek
Tx:30.35  Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. What  lies in you has joined with God Himself in all creation's birth.
Tx:30.40 Behind the search for every idol  lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no form because it is
Tx:30.49  And you attack them for the things you think they represent. What  lies beyond them cannot be attacked.
Tx:30.64  in showing you the way that He must walk with you? His blessing  lies on you as surely as His Father's love rests upon Him. His
Tx:30.65  with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look back no longer, for what  lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the world!
Tx:30.69 The Will of God forever  lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined, they thought
Tx:30.86 Escape from judgment simply  lies in this—all things have but one purpose which you share with
Tx:31.74  kept from everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what  lies beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and perceive the
W1:4.2  them. The “good” ones of which you are aware are but shadows of what  lies beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are
W1:11.1  for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness  lies in it.
W1:12.1 The importance of this idea  lies in the fact that it contains a correction for a major perceptual
W1:31.4  of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in your freedom  lies the freedom of the world.
W1:38.7 There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God  lies in it.
W1:51.5  intended to replace. My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation  lies in the thoughts I think with God.
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein  lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could
W1:58.6 [40] I am blessed as a Son of God. Herein  lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of
W1:62.1  about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness  lies your salvation.
W1:70.4  and so He has kept the Source of healing where the need for healing  lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making every attempt,
W1:76.1  Yet to understand that this is so, you must first realize salvation  lies not there. While you would seek for it in things that have no
W1:80.5  has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of salvation  lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work.
W1:91.3  You do not doubt the images they show you are reality. Your faith  lies in the darkness, not the light.
W1:92.4  past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that  lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It
W1:99.9  strength in what you say, for these are words in which your freedom  lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will.
W1:106.5  Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which lifts the veil which  lies upon the earth and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God
W1:126.8  today. And 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
W1:127.3  judge. As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its meaning  lies in oneness. And it must elude the mind that thinks of it as
W1:131.4  power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that  lies beyond the world and every worldly thought and one which comes
W1:131.14  them in your mind which you could not completely lock to hide what  lies beyond.
W1:131.15  nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what  lies past it do you seek.
W1:132.5  you came. There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein  lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to
W1:134.7  through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on  lies but it is not deceived. It does not heed the self-accusing
W1:134.8  It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in the face of  lies, the great restorer of the simple truth. By its ability to
W1:134.10  as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth. It is but  lies which would condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there
W1:134.10  illusions and the truth, between the world you see and that which  lies beyond, between the hell of guilt and Heaven's gate.
W1:135.1  is real, and that his own defense can save himself? And herein  lies the folly of defense—it gives illusions full reality and then
W1:136.11  as these, with God made blind by your illusions, truth turned into  lies, and all the universe made slave to laws which your defenses
W1:137.4 Sickness would prove that  lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true.
W1:138.5  cannot be learned but only recognized. In recognition its acceptance  lies, and as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the
W1:152.11  accepted as our own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that  lies are false and only truth is true.
W1:153.4  the costliest of all the prices which the ego would exact. In them  lies madness in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an
W1:157.2  us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what  lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us
W1:158.9  by One, they merely disappear because a vision of the holiness which  lies beyond them comes to take their place. It matters not what form
W1:163.5  no name to him, for he has passed to dust. It says but this: “Here  lies a witness God is dead.” And this it writes again and still
W1:164.5  is the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what  lies beyond them. Now is what is really there made visible, while all
W1:165.1  makes this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which  lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the
W1:165.4  it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction  lies within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains.
W1:165.6  healed. For now you are among the saviors of the world. Your destiny  lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to let His Son remain
W1:165.7  And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness  lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear.
W1:168.2  kind unthinkable. His grace His answer is to all despair, for in it  lies remembrance of His Love. Would He not gladly give the means by
W1:168.5  and holy day today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith  lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge our
W1:169.6  endless present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It  lies beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and
W1:R5.15  for the experience and recognize that it is only here conviction  lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go beyond them to
W1:172.2 [153] In my defenselessness my safety  lies. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.1  are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that  lies beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as
W1:181.2  And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that  lies beyond.
W1:185.14  with the need of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that  lies beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that
W1:187.7  suffering, and you remove the thought of suffering. Your blessing  lies on everyone who suffers when you choose to see all suffering as
W1:196.2  under what it sees as threat, is quick to cite the truth to save its  lies. Yet must it fail to understand the truth it uses thus. But you
W1:196.9  bound because you feared your strength and freedom. Yet salvation  lies in them.
W1:200.3  hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven  lies before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you?
W1:200.8  Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom  lies within the peace of God.
W2:WIW.3  its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from  lies. Yet everything that they report is but illusion, which is kept
W2:248.1  the truth about myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and  lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as
W2:WIS.2  for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its aim as well as  lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is true.
W2:WIB.5  it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety  lies in truth and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not
W2:WIB.5  that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and not in  lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love,
W2:WIC.2  part of His and His of yours. He is the part in which God's Answer  lies, where all decisions are already made and dreams are over. He
W2:319.1  come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by  lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore it must seek for
W2:336.1  sights and sounds at best can serve but to recall the memory that  lies beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens
W2:342.1  me. The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which  lies the end of dreams. I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering
M:4.15  and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of God's teachers  lies in their gentleness, for they have understood their evil
M:4.18  than many other ideas in our curriculum. Its greater strangeness  lies merely in the obviousness of its reversal of the world's
M:8.2  Illusions are travesties of creation, attempts to bring truth to  lies. Finding truth unacceptable, the mind revolts against truth and
M:15.1  Judgment on him is received. This is the judgment in which salvation  lies. This is the judgment that will set him free. This is the
M:15.1  are freed with him. Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence  lies across the world that everyone may hear this judgment of the Son
M:16.6  all the fearful things you see in dreams. It is not so. Your safety  lies not there. What you give up is merely the illusion of protecting
M:17.5  Yet that it can be believed as fact is surely so. And herein  lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the place of God and takes
M:18.1  has new content. It is not the form alone in which the difference  lies.
M:19.5  whatever picture the mind desires to see. Remember this. In this  lies either Heaven or hell, as you elect. God's justice points to
M:20.5  Death cannot be escape, because it is not life in which the problem  lies. Life has no opposite, for it is God. Life and death seem to be
M:22.6  it must be accepted. It is in the receiving, then, that healing  lies. All else must follow from this single purpose.
M:23.3  are remembering God. The whole relationship of the Son to the Father  lies in him. His part in the Sonship is also yours, and his completed

Tx:29.47 Idols must fall because they have no  life, and what is lifeless is a sign of death. You came to die, and
Tx:29.47  a message other than an idol found that represents a parody of  life which in its lifelessness is really death, conceived as real and

Tx:29.50  by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten  life and offer death.
Tx:29.51 It is not so. Salvation seeks to prove there is no death, and only  life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot

Tx:29.56  it seems to come to life and given power that it may be feared. Its  life and power are its believer's gift, and this is what the miracle
Tx:29.56  believer's gift, and this is what the miracle restores to what has  life and power worthy of the gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The
Tx:29.61  willing he must be to let himself bow down in worship to what has no  life and seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the holy

Tx:31.17  want of you? What could he want, but what you want of him? Herein is  life as easily as death, for what you choose, you choose as well for
Tx:31.17  for you have chosen death. But if he calls for death or calls for  life, for hate or for forgiveness and for help, is not the same in

W1:54.3  to what I think. If I did not think, I would not exist, because  life is thought. Let me look on the world I see as the representation
W1:62.2  For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that thoughts of  life may replace thoughts of death.
W1:72.5  could it be but death? In trying to present Himself as the Author of  life and not of death, He is a liar and a deceiver, full of false

W1:93.4  withstand the Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is  life. You think you are destroyed, but you are saved.
W1:106.2  by voices of the dead which tell you they have found the source of  life and offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen
W1:107.1  to be remembered. They are gone because without belief they have no  life, and so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they
W1:107.10  but were created by the self-same thought which gave the gift of  life to Him as well. He is your brother and so like to you your
W1:110.3  health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for  life or fear for love. All this has not occurred if you remain as God
W1:121.4  beholds its own projections rising to attack its miserable parody of  life. It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants
W1:124.2  How easily do errors disappear and death give place to everlasting  life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our
W1:124.5  And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring them to  life. All this we see because we saw it first within ourselves.
W1:131.3  because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for  life you ask for death. You look for safety and security while in
W1:132.9  thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts of  life replace all thoughts you ever held of death.
W1:133.2 You do not ask too much of  life, but far too little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily
W1:135.5  care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its little  life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God
W1:135.6  health-inducing medicine, no care, and no concern at all. Defend its  life, or give it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe,

W1:135.20  Let no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this  life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your
W1:136.10  choice to die. And so the body is more powerful than everlasting  life, Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for the salvation
W1:136.12  you thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor  life to death. You can but choose to think you die or suffer sickness

W1:138.7  a means for demonstrating hell is real, hope changes to despair, and  life itself must in the end be overcome by death. In death alone are
W1:138.7  opposition is to die. And thus salvation must be seen as death, for  life is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your life
W1:138.7  for life is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your  life as well.
W1:139.3  to know yourself is to believe that you are really dead. For what is  life except to be yourself, and what but you can be alive instead?

W1:151.12 Such is your resurrection, for your  life is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and
W1:152.7  Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over  life—all this is arrogance. Humility would see at once these things
W1:156.2  apart from God because you could not be without Him. He is what your  life is. Where you are, He is. There is one Life. That Life you share
W1:156.2  Him. He is what your life is. Where you are, He is. There is one  Life. That Life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and
W1:156.2  is what your life is. Where you are, He is. There is one Life. That  Life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and live.
W1:156.3 Yet where He is there must be holiness as well as  life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that lives.
W1:156.3  that lives. What lives is holy as Himself because what shares His  life is part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun
W1:157.1  and nights in celebrating death. Today you learn to feel the joy of  life.

Tx:9.34  as He did, and your dissociation will not alter this. Neither God's  light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the Sonship

Tx:9.92  are there unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the  light will create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be
Tx:9.92  but knowing the light will create. Yet in the returning, the little  light must be acknowledged first, for the separation was a descent
Tx:9.92  magnitude to littleness. But the spark is still as pure as the great  light, because it is the remaining call of creation. Put all your
Tx:10.3  The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for His thought system is  light. Remember the rays that are there unseen. The more you approach
Tx:10.3  more you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer the  light becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's
Tx:10.3  the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. Bring this  light fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation of the
Tx:10.3  cornerstone of terror on which it rests and bring it out into the  light. There you will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that
Tx:10.14  not to know. Believing this, you hide in darkness, denying that the  light is in you.
Tx:10.20  like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a blazing  light that fills your mind so that He becomes your only Guest.
Tx:10.25 When the  light comes and you have said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see
Tx:10.26  the way. But the dark journey is not the way of God's Son. Walk in  light, and do not see the dark companions, for they are not fit
Tx:10.26  they are not fit companions for the Son of God, who was created of  light and in light. The Great Light always surrounds you and shines

Tx:10.26  for the Son of God, who was created of light and in light. The Great  Light always surrounds you and shines out from you. How can you see
Tx:10.26  and shines out from you. How can you see the dark companions in a  light such as this? If you see them, it is only because you are
Tx:10.26  as this? If you see them, it is only because you are denying the  light. But deny them instead, for the light is here, and the way is
Tx:10.26  because you are denying the light. But deny them instead, for the  light is here, and the way is clear.
Tx:10.27  hide his glory, for God wills him to be glorious and gave him the  light that shines in him. You will never lose your way, for God leads

Tx:10.28 The children of  light cannot abide in darkness, for darkness is not in them. Do not
Tx:10.30  In your mind, you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it with the  light your Father gave it. Then you will be worthy to dwell in the
Tx:10.33  unknown to you. Every altar to God is part of your Soul because the  light He created is one with Him. Would you cut off a brother from
Tx:10.33  He created is one with Him. Would you cut off a brother from the  light that is yours? You would not do so if you realized that you can
Tx:10.34  this realization, for it is truly the beginning of the dawn of  light. Remember also that the denial of this simple fact takes many
Tx:10.41  undoes confusion by definition, and to look upon darkness through  light must dispel it. Let us begin this lesson in “ego dynamics” by
Tx:10.57  He will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses for God stand in His  light and behold what He created. Their silence is the sign that they
Tx:11.14  themselves, for the truth is in them. Yet, having obscured it, the  light in another mind must shine into theirs because that light is
Tx:11.14  it, the light in another mind must shine into theirs because that  light is theirs.
Tx:11.15 The  light in them shines as brightly, regardless of the density of the
Tx:11.15  fog that obscures it. If you give no power to the fog to obscure the  light, it has none, for it has power only because the Son of God gave
Tx:11.58  Father's altar, holding out the Father's love to you in the quiet  light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead
Tx:11.60  of God, the holy perception of God's Son becomes so enlightened that  light streams into it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind
Tx:12.5 In the calm  light of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified

Tx:12.17  and let Him heal you. Do not leave any spot of pain hidden from His  light, and search your minds carefully for any thoughts which you may
Tx:12.21  he could not remain at all. For a darkened mind cannot live in the  light, and it must seek a place of darkness where it can believe it
Tx:12.41 Vision depends on  light, and you cannot see in darkness. Yet in the darkness in the

Tx:12.41  Yet for this, light must be excluded. Dreams disappear when  light has come and you can see.
Tx:12.42  yet still within you is the vision of Christ, Who looks on all in  light. Your vision comes from fear, as His from love. And He sees for
Tx:12.44 The Holy Spirit is the  light in which Christ stands revealed. And all who would behold Him
Tx:12.44  And all who would behold Him can see Him, for they have asked for  light. Nor will they see Him alone, for He is no more alone than they
Tx:12.46  can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you are afraid of  light. And only if you are would you choose to bring this darkness
Tx:12.51 The present offers you your brothers in the  light that would unite you with them and free you from the past.
Tx:12.51  remain in the darkness that is not there and refusing to accept the  light that is offered you. For the light of perfect vision is freely
Tx:12.51  there and refusing to accept the light that is offered you. For the  light of perfect vision is freely given as it is freely received and
Tx:12.52  unbroken because it is wholly shared. God's guiltless Son is only  light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole. Call
Tx:12.52  song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the  light to the Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from
Tx:12.52  hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the light to the Creator of  light. The holy light that shines forth from God's Son is the witness
Tx:12.52  and thanksgiving for the light to the Creator of light. The holy  light that shines forth from God's Son is the witness that his light
Tx:12.52  holy light that shines forth from God's Son is the witness that his  light is of his Father.

Tx:12.54  having given light to them, they will return it. Everyone you see in  light brings your light closer to your own awareness. Love always
Tx:12.54  to them, they will return it. Everyone you see in light brings your  light closer to your own awareness. Love always leads to love. The

Tx:12.55  it shines forth to call you from the world and follow it. For this  light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you will
Tx:12.55  And here will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son.  Light is unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy. All
Tx:12.55  will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your  light will join with theirs in power so compelling that it will draw
Tx:12.56  and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The attraction of  light must draw you willingly, and willingness is signified by

Tx:12.69  you need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the  light and render you unwilling to question the value that this world
Tx:12.70  need. For He will give you all things that do not block the way to  light. And what else could you need? In time He gives you all the
Tx:12.71  your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance, you will travel  light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey's end
Tx:12.71  himself holds his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for  light needs nothing but to shine in peace and from itself to let the
Tx:12.72  are tempted to undertake a foolish journey that would lead away from  light, remember what you really want and say,
Tx:12.75  has offered but to take away. And we will spread it like a veil of  light across the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers from
Tx:13.2  under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds everything in  light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last forever.
Tx:13.4  is not His reality. The golden aspects of reality which spring to  light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that
Tx:13.5  until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the same  light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus brings
Tx:13.5  healing sight into the darkness and enabling the world to see. For  light must come into the darkened world to make Christ's vision
Tx:13.5  Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give His gift of  light to all who think they wander in the darkness, and let Him
Tx:13.8  and we will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy  light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your
Tx:13.8  to your brothers will be returned to you. And knowing that the  light is in you, your creations will be there with you, as you are in
Tx:13.11  to the past as is the ego's law. Fidelity unto this law lets no  light in, for it demands fidelity to darkness and forbids awakening.
Tx:13.17  for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you will not see the  light. And by projecting it, the world seems dark and shrouded in
Tx:13.18  the dark in which they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the  light within. Within you is not what you believe is there and what
Tx:13.19  deny His knowledge, but you cannot change it. Look, then, upon the  light He placed within you and learn that what you feared was there
Tx:13.28  and look past darkness to the holy place where you will see the  light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to
Tx:13.29  would be released. There is no other way to look within and see the  light of love shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has
Tx:13.43  him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and  light surrounds him.
Tx:13.59  did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the  light of truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it
Tx:13.59  you. And as it shines, your brothers see it, and realizing that this  light is not what you have made, they see in you more than you see.
Tx:13.59  than you see. They will be happy learners of the lesson which this  light brings to them because it teaches them release from nothing and
Tx:13.59  them unto despair they do not see as nothing until you bring the  light to them. And then they see the chains have disappeared, and so
Tx:13.62  this door of nothing and behind it is nothing. The key is only the  light which shines away the shapes and forms and fears of nothing.
Tx:13.62  gives it to you that you may join Him in the holy task of bringing  light to darkness. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the
Tx:13.62  light to darkness. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the  light has come and freed you from the sleep of darkness.
Tx:13.63  in their freedom and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The  light in you will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The
Tx:13.70  given him to heal is another opportunity to replace darkness with  light and fear with love. If he refuses it, he binds himself to
Tx:13.70  to darkness because he did not choose to free his brother and enter  light with him. By giving power to nothing, he threw away the joyous
Tx:13.70  And by not dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness and of  light. The joy of learning that darkness has no power over the Son of
Tx:13.80  decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this  light, error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle
Tx:14.3 The Children of Heaven live in the  light of the blessing of their Father because they know that they are
Tx:14.8  would steal it away and keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to  light in answer to the call of the Atonement. Never allow purity to
Tx:14.16 The journey that we undertake together is the exchange of dark for  light, of ignorance for understanding. Nothing you understand is
Tx:14.17 The quiet  light in which the Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect
Tx:14.17  brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the  light of love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's
Tx:14.18  will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the  light of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in
Tx:14.18  the light of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in  light. Everything else must disappear.
Tx:14.19 Death yields to life simply because destruction is not true. The  light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are
Tx:14.23  But bring them to Him, and let His gentleness teach you that in the  light they are not fearful and cannot serve to guard the dark doors
Tx:14.23  at all is carefully concealed. We must open all doors and let the  light come streaming through. There are no hidden chambers in God's
Tx:14.24 What do you want?  Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both.
Tx:14.24  real must disappear, for truth is union. As darkness disappears in  light, so ignorance fades away when knowledge dawns. Perception is
Tx:14.28  apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the same place.  Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will
Tx:14.30  and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the  light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you
Tx:14.30  and secret thoughts to Him and look upon them with Him. He holds the  light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you
Tx:14.39  when its impossible nature is clearly revealed? What disappears in  light is not attacked. It merely vanishes because it is not true.
Tx:14.42  of Himself can be perceived upon it. Reflections are seen in  light. In darkness they are obscure, and their meaning seems to lie

Tx:14.61  another lesson sent from Him, already learned for every Child of  light by Him to Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God's
Tx:14.62  closed to take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches  light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And He will

Tx:15.102 The sign of Christmas is a star, a  light in darkness. See it not outside yourself but shining in the
Tx:16.8  and secret from each other. That is not the way, for it leads not to  light and truth. No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them
Tx:16.68  The joy of Heaven, which has no limit, is increased with each  light that returns to take its rightful place within it. Wait no
Tx:17.10 The stars will disappear in  light, and the sun which opened up the world to beauty will vanish.
Tx:17.11  and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In the  light of the real reason which He brings, as you follow Him, He will
Tx:17.22  you will do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark before you to  light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God

Tx:17.48  find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the  light of its goal.
Tx:17.53  your appreciation flickered and grown dim in what seemed to be the  light of the mistakes? You are now entering upon a campaign to blame
Tx:17.71  That Cause has entered any situation which shares Its purpose. The  light of truth shines from the center of the situation and touches
Tx:18.13  is given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy  light that brought you together must extend, as you accepted it.
Tx:18.24  has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to bring a  light into the darkness but made the darkness deeper. Your goal was
Tx:18.24  made the darkness deeper. Your goal was darkness in which no ray of  light could enter. And you sought a blackness so complete that you
Tx:18.24  What you forgot was simply that God cannot destroy Himself. The  light is in you. Darkness can cover it but cannot put it out.
Tx:18.25 As the  light comes nearer, you will rush to darkness, shrinking from the
Tx:18.25  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 is light.
Tx:18.25  of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal is  light. Truth has rushed to meet you since you called upon it.
Tx:18.27  you agreed to leave with me? In your relationship is this world's  light. And fear must disappear before you now. Be tempted not to
Tx:18.29  who hid in darkness. You have been willing to bring the darkness to  light, and this willingness has given strength to everyone who would
Tx:18.29  who would see will see. And they will join with me in carrying their  light into the darkness when the darkness in them is offered to the
Tx:18.29  light into the darkness when the darkness in them is offered to the  light and is removed forever. My need for you, joined with me in the
Tx:18.29  and is removed forever. My need for you, joined with me in the holy  light of your relationship, is your need for salvation. Would I not
Tx:18.30  who are now the bringers of salvation have the function of bringing  light to darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to light.
Tx:18.30  bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to  light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to which you
Tx:18.31 Not one  light in Heaven but goes with you. Not one ray that shines forever in
Tx:18.31  Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When such great  light has joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the
Tx:18.31  apart and which led nowhere. You have found each other and will  light each other's way. And from this light will the Great Rays
Tx:18.31  have found each other and will light each other's way. And from this  light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto
Tx:18.31  room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the  light.
Tx:18.67  with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the  light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the
Tx:18.84 You have been told to bring the darkness to the  light and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error
Tx:18.85  to you, returning your little offering of darkness to the eternal  Light.
Tx:18.89  Its thinness and transparency are not apparent until you see the  light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil before the
Tx:18.89  light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil before the  light.
Tx:18.92  nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a world of  light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the world
Tx:18.92  Their shadows lie upon the world beyond them, still further from the  light. Yet from them to the light their shadows cannot fall.
Tx:18.92  beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the  light their shadows cannot fall.
Tx:18.93 This world of  light, this circle of brightness, is the real world where guilt meets
Tx:18.94  you to something completely different. Here is the Source of  light—nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but merely
Tx:18.97  with forgiveness, and set shining and firmly rooted in the world of  light. From there, it calls to you to follow the course it took,
Tx:19.39  see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the  light in them will show you all that you need to see. When the peace
Tx:19.45  keep you from 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
Tx:19.65  me all the sins you think the Son of God committed. And in the  light of your forgiveness, he will remember who he is and forget what
Tx:19.67  already, will be the focus of the new perception that will bring  light to all the world, contained in you.
Tx:19.84  For death is seen as safety, the great dark savior from the  light of truth, the answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice
Tx:19.91  like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's love which  light His face with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the
Tx:19.91  His face with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the blazing  light beyond it when the fear of death is gone.
Tx:20.3  and delay him there. Help him to go in peace beyond it, with the  light of his own innocence lighting his way to his redemption and
Tx:20.7  upon it, making it worthy of their devotion. And each has set a  light upon his altar, that they may see what he has placed upon it
Tx:20.8  offer me. If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red  light, the body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you
Tx:20.13  you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence will  light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection,
Tx:20.13  there? His innocence will light your way, offering you its guiding  light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar within him
Tx:20.22  He came without a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining  light the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the
Tx:20.25  and with eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the  light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made free. It takes
Tx:20.27  as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the  light of God's eternal promise of your immortality. See him as
Tx:20.41  The little breath of eternity that runs through time like golden  light is all the same—nothing before it, nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.69 Your brother's sinlessness is given you in shining  light, to look on with the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in

Tx:21.10  everything you see and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden  light that stretches as you look into a great and shining circle. And
Tx:21.10  look into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with  light before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what
Tx:21.10  disappear, and what is in it is no longer contained at all. The  light expands and covers everything, extending to infinity, forever
Tx:21.10  that anything could be outside, for there is nowhere that this  light is not.
Tx:21.12  this remembering? And who is there in whom this memory lies not? The  light in one awakens it in all. And when you see it in each other,
Tx:21.39  other has disappeared from sight. Nor is it possible that what gives  light be one with what depends on darkness to be seen. Neither
Tx:21.40  to sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the  light of vision, it is looked upon quite differently. You can have
Tx:21.42  the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will  light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so
Tx:22.27  the bodies that you interposed between you and shining in the golden  light which reaches it from the bright endless circle that extends
Tx:22.27  and disappears. For at its center Christ has been reborn to  light His home with vision that overlooks the world. Would you not
Tx:22.40  the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ will  light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that needs
Tx:22.40  your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that needs the  light. And from this holy place He will return with you, not leaving
Tx:22.41  beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you will bring to  light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How
Tx:22.54  lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and blazing with a  light far brighter than the sun which lights the sky you see, is
Tx:22.55  And every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal  Light you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the  light has come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the light has come to you. The  light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who
Tx:22.59  each other. And let the darkness be dispelled by Him Who knows the  light and lays it gently in each quiet smile of faith and confidence
Tx:22.65 The  light that joins you shines throughout the universe, and because it
Tx:23.5  alone in his temptation but help him rise above it and perceive the  light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light the way to
Tx:23.5  it and perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will  light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your
Tx:23.6  around you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the  light of Heaven in it. So will you come to understand all that is

W1:56.5  Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love, its  light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united
W1:57.6  from deep within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the  light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. In this
W1:57.6  light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. In this  light, I begin to see what my illusions about myself had kept hidden.
W1:58.3  does not bless me alone. Everyone and everything I see in its  light shares in the joy it brings to me. There is nothing that is
W1:59.5 [44] God is the  Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only
W1:59.5  the Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only  Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried

W1:61.2  taking no other. It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the  light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is
W1:61.6 I am the  light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I am here.
W1:61.10 You are the  light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the  light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in
W1:62.1  to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the  light in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are
W1:62.1  in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the  light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about
W1:62.6 Forgiveness is my function as the  light of the world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
W1:63.2 You are indeed the  light of the world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you
W1:63.4 The  light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
W1:64.3 To review our last few lessons, your function here is to be the  light of the world, a function given you by God. It is only the
W1:67.1  and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are the  light of the world. This is why God appointed you as the world's
W1:67.6  the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing  light in which you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be
W1:69.1  what your grievances conceal. Because your grievances are hiding the  light of the world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you

W1:69.2 Today let us make another real attempt to reach the  light in you. Before we undertake this in our more extended practice
W1:69.3  is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by finding the  light in us and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to

W1:69.6  perfect stillness, remembering only how much you want to reach the  light in you today—now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out
W1:69.7  to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into  light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your
W1:69.8  yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the  light, to hold this confidence in your mind. Try to remember that you
W1:69.9  your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the  light of the world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you
W1:69.10 My grievances hide the  light of the world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the  light of the world will be hidden from me,
W1:70.12 Now we will try again to reach the  light in you, which is where your salvation is. You cannot find it in
W1:70.12  salvation is. You cannot find it in the clouds that surround the  light, and it is in them you have been looking for it. It is not
W1:70.12  looking for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the  light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds
W1:70.12  that you will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the  light. But remember also that you have never found anything in the
W1:70.13  vainly for idols there when you could so easily walk on into the  light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever means

Tx:12.59 The real world is not  like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets where people
Tx:12.75  all the world has offered but to take away. And we will spread it  like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide

Tx:15.2  ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego,  like the Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability

Tx:15.82  all its parts are joined in God through Christ, where they become  like to their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His

Tx:22.15  same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as  like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws you together draws
Tx:22.20  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 was
Tx:22.31  of mind in which salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, set  like a heavy gate, locked and without a key, across the road to
Tx:22.49  and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks  like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet within
Tx:22.64  itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is  like itself.
Tx:23.20 The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone.  Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is separate
Tx:23.34 And yet, how can it be that laws  like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes it
Tx:23.37  In any state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems  like life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what is
Tx:23.37  Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst,  like death. Yet both are judgments on what is not life, equal in
Tx:23.48  be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the body that is  like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of
Tx:23.49  the Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death, creating  like itself.
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your relationship is  like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave
Tx:24.6  and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable of being  like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless by comparison with it. And
Tx:24.8 Would it be possible for you to hate your brother if you were  like him? Could you attack him if you realized you journey with him
Tx:24.8  hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father created him  like you. There is no difference. You have been given to each other
Tx:24.14  the “creator” who creates unlike the Father and which made His Son  like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are many,
Tx:24.14  unlike the Father and which made His Son like to itself and not  like unto Him. His “special” sons are many, never one, each one in
Tx:24.17 The shining radiance of the Son of God—so  like his Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And
Tx:24.17  mind. And with this memory, the Son remembers his own creations, as  like to him as he is to his Father. And all the world he made and all
Tx:24.21  this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son be  like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of

Tx:24.30 God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no separation,  like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you
Tx:24.43  already loosened from the bone and sightless holes for eyes, is  like yourself?
Tx:24.45  whose hand you hold and whom you lead to Him. And what you see is  like yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and love
Tx:24.47  a brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as  like to Him in holiness as you must be?
Tx:24.68  with the Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created  like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed,
Tx:24.71  the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not even  like, but still a means to offer to the “father” what he wants. Such
Tx:24.72  They have a different purpose. It is this that joins them to their  like and separates each from all aspects with a different purpose.
Tx:25.38  enemy and God along with Him. Must you not be afraid with “enemies”  like these? And must you not be fearful of yourself? For you have
Tx:25.69  what escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to look  like Heaven's gate?
Tx:26.24 Is not this  like your special function, where the separation is undone by change
Tx:26.40  Voices from the past are heard and then are doubted. You are  like to one who still hallucinates but lacks conviction in what he
Tx:26.72  caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and,  like its cause, is looking forward, looking back but overlooking what
Tx:26.79  you stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and make it  like itself. The shadow of an ancient hate has gone, and all the
Tx:27.56  cannot choose among them which are real, for any one you choose is  like the rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you choose. You
Tx:27.62  Here is the world's demented version of salvation clearly shown.  Like to a dream of punishment in which the dreamer is unconscious of
Tx:27.77  while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies dying  like itself. In the brief time allotted it to live, it seeks for
Tx:27.89  then, all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is  like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He will
Tx:28.2  as if it were occurring now and still were there to see. Memory,  like perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what
Tx:28.2  up by you to take the place of what God gave in your creation. And  like all the things you made, it can be used to serve another purpose
Tx:28.5  it to do. It does not write the message nor appoint what it is for.  Like to the body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it seems to
Tx:28.18  with effects unlike yourself. And as their “father,” you must be  like them. Nothing at all has happened but that you have put yourself
Tx:28.19  Do you wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is  like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted shown to you. An
Tx:28.19  be realized that it is you who dreamed the dreaming that you do not  like. It is but an effect which you have caused, and you would not be
Tx:28.25  Like every lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the
Tx:28.34  the shining of a pebble and who stored a heap of snow that shone  like silver. They have nothing left behind the open door. What is the
Tx:28.39  Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his
Tx:28.55  sight a thing that cannot see and blame it for the sounds you do not  like, although it cannot hear. It suffers not the punishment you give
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His Son,  like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty
Tx:28.62  count on it as shelter from the wind? The body can be made a home  like this because it lacks foundation in the truth. And yet, because
Tx:28.64  to be true to faithlessness. Yet faithlessness is sickness. It is  like the house set upon straw. It seems to be quite solid and
Tx:29.26 The dreams you think you  like would hold you back as much as those in which the fear is seen.
Tx:29.28  the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you think you  like are those in which the functions you have given have been
Tx:29.28  represent and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, you think you  like the dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But
Tx:29.33 This sacred Son of God is  like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for you, the soft
Tx:29.48  the world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be  like the past and but a series of depressing dreams in which all
Tx:29.54  All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall before His face  like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in

Tx:30.16 At least I can decide I do not  like what I feel now.
Tx:30.18 5. Having decided that you do not  like the way you feel, what could be easier than to continue with,
Tx:30.20  but is something that you want and that you need, because you do not  like the way you feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you go
Tx:30.40  And by finding this, you will achieve completion in a form you  like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not look beyond
Tx:30.45  wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought God holds of you is  like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it
Tx:30.53  at all? What could it be but an illusion, making things appear  like to itself? Look calmly at its toys and understand that they are
Tx:30.91  nor can a miracle be given you to heal appearances you do not  like. You have established limits. What you ask is given you, but not

Tx:31.74 The concept of the self stands  like a shield, a silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from

W1:166.12  one thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you  like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has

W2:326.1  Your attributes abide in me because it is Your will to have a Son so  like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let

Tx:5.50  is what is meant when we said it is possible even in this world to  listen to one voice. If you are part of God and the Sonship is one,

Tx:8.22 To achieve the goal of the curriculum, then, you cannot  listen to the ego. Its purpose is to defeat its own goal. The ego

Tx:8.44  Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and learn what God's

Tx:21.7  that to keep the body is to save the little that they have.  Listen and try to think if you remember what we will speak of now.
Tx:21.8  Listen—perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient state not quite
Tx:21.9  know that nothing in the world you learned is half so dear as this.  Listen and see if you remember an ancient song you knew so long ago
Tx:21.50  But your awareness of it needs your help because it is your choice.  Listen to what the ego says and see what it directs you see, and it
Tx:21.62  quietly, replacing madness if it be the will of the insane to  listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they believe

Tx:31.17  voice you hear in him is but your own. What does he ask you for? And  listen well! For he is asking what will come to you because you see
Tx:31.21  appearances and answer to the Christ Who calls to you. Be still and  listen. Think not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that
Tx:31.22  made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to  listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want. No more

W1:49.1 It is quite possible to  listen to God's Voice all through the day without interrupting your

Tx:2.4 The Garden of Eden, which is described as a  literal garden in the Bible, was not an actual garden at all. It was
Tx:2.4  all. It was merely a mental state of complete need-lack. Even in the  literal account, it is noteworthy that the pre-separation state was
Tx:2.4  which man needed nothing. The “tree of knowledge” is also an overly  literal figure. These concepts need to be clarified before the real

Tx:5.37  is what we really mean when we say that “now is the only time.” The  literal nature of this statement does not mean anything to the ego,
Tx:7.38  nothing else. There is nothing else. God is all in all in a very  literal sense. All being is in Him who is all Being. You are
Tx:8.86  of the Bible's followers and also its translators to be entirely  literal about fear and its effects but not about love and its

Tx:10.20  a sign that you want Him. Think like Him ever so slightly, and the  little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He
Tx:10.21  God sent you will teach you how to do this if you but recognize the  little spark and are willing to let it grow. Your willingness need

Tx:14.33  Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or  little valued, He will replace with the one promise given unto Him to
Tx:14.37  whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your  little gifts will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own.

Tx:15.15  friend if you leave it to the Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very  little to restore God's whole power to you. He Who transcends time
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your  little part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very
Tx:15.22  place of magnitude, and you accepted it. Everything in this world is  little because it is a world made out of littleness in the strange
Tx:15.24  are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the  little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you will not be
Tx:15.24  yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your function is not  little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it
Tx:15.25  in perfect awareness in a world of littleness is a task the  little cannot undertake. Yet it is asked of you in tribute to your
Tx:15.26  every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for the  little, and you deny yourself His power. God is not willing that His

Tx:15.30  that lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the  little offerings you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of

Tx:15.73  The other seems always to be attacking and wounding them, perhaps in  little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet never without demand of
Tx:15.88  Limits are demanded by the ego, representing its demands to make  little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his body,
Tx:15.89  that any limit is impossible. Would you not exchange your  little relationships for this? For the body is little and limited,
Tx:15.89  you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the body is  little and limited, and only those whom you would see without the
Tx:15.98  of the two is judged as the lesser of two evils, one to be feared a  little, but the other to be destroyed. For you see love as
Tx:16.11  to fragment and then to be concerned about the truth of just a  little part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or
Tx:16.16  to its compelling attraction. You can delay this now but only a  little while. The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard.
Tx:16.18  has called to you. His Voice has spoken clearly, and yet you have so  little faith in what you heard because you have preferred to place
Tx:16.28  carries him across the gap as soon as he is willing to expend some  little effort on behalf of bridging it. His little efforts are
Tx:16.28  willing to expend some little effort on behalf of bridging it. His  little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven
Tx:16.52  the specialness which you demand. And hating it, you have made it  little and unworthy because you are afraid of it.
Tx:16.53  So fearful has the truth become to you that unless it is weak and  little, [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to look upon it.
Tx:16.53  you would not dare to look upon it. You think it safer to endow the  little self which you have made with power you wrested from truth,

Tx:17.8  is the strongest thing that touches on this world at all. This  little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through
Tx:17.32 You have but  little difficulty now in realizing that the thought system which the
Tx:17.41  remembrance, offering you the whole of creation in exchange for your  little picture, wholly without value and entirely deprived of meaning.

Tx:17.67  was not holy because your faith in one another was so limited and  little. Your faith must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The
Tx:17.70  the Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond your  little conception of the infinite that you have no idea how great the
Tx:17.70  past the stars and to the universe that lies beyond them, your  little faithlessness can make it useless if you would use the
Tx:18.7  other way; that truth is outside and error and guilt within. Your  little senseless substitutions, touched with insanity and swirling
Tx:18.9  Let Him bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a  little faith in each other, to help Him show you that no substitute
Tx:18.26  darkness has been long and cruel, and you have gone deep into it. A  little flicker of your eyelids, closed so long, has not yet been
Tx:18.26  When you retreat to the illusion, your fear increases, for there is  little doubt that what you think it means is fearful. Yet what is
Tx:18.28  in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will. No  little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate your
Tx:18.31  to Heaven. When such great light has joined with you to give the  little spark of your desire the power of God Himself, can you remain
Tx:18.32  or you will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but  little. It is He who adds the greatness and the might. He joins with
Tx:18.32  than you can understand. It is your realization that you need do so  little that enables Him to give so much.
Tx:18.35 The holy instant does not come from your  little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small
Tx:18.38 And that is all. Add more and you will merely take away the  little that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that your plan for
Tx:18.38  function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how  little is your part and how great is His.
Tx:18.39  do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give so  little to receive so much.] And it is very hard for you to realize
Tx:18.42  help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a  little willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be
Tx:18.42  to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be forgiven. On your  little faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your part
Tx:18.44  and you would merely bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The  little faith it needed to change the purpose is all that is required
Tx:18.72  and to keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a  little part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle,
Tx:18.72  complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very  little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole, proclaiming that
Tx:18.73 Within this kingdom the ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this  little speck of dust, it bids you fight against the universe. This
Tx:18.73  hails itself as the ocean. Think how alone and frightened is this  little thought, this infinitesimal illusion, holding itself apart
Tx:18.73  sunbeam's “enemy” which would devour it, and the ocean terrifies the  little ripple and wants to swallow it.
Tx:18.76  joining with the rest and keeping it apart from its Creator. This  little aspect is no different from the whole, being continuous with
Tx:18.77 Do not accept this  little fenced-off aspect as yourself. The sun and ocean are as
Tx:18.77  who looks on nothing, yet who would still die to defend it? This  little self is not your kingdom. Arched high above it and surrounding
Tx:18.77  which offers all its happiness and deep content to every part. The  little aspect which you think you set apart is no exception.
Tx:18.78  keep complete what it would give. In your tiny kingdom, you have so  little! Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to
Tx:18.78  dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless, which makes up your  little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which love would bring
Tx:18.79 The Thought of God surrounds your  little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to come inside and
Tx:18.79  with them, as it will stay with you. And under its beneficence, your  little garden will expand and reach out to everyone who thirsts for
Tx:18.80  So will it grow and stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely  little kingdoms locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you
Tx:18.80  and leaving you inside. And you will recognize yourself and see your  little garden gently transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven with all
Tx:18.83  this. Receive it now of Him, for He would have you know Him. Only a  little wall of dust still stands between you. Blow on it lightly and
Tx:18.84  at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the  little thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy
Tx:18.85 This is the  little part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to
Tx:18.85  One Who does surround it has brought union to you, returning your  little offering of darkness to the eternal Light.
Tx:18.86 How is this done? It is extremely simple, being based on what this  little kingdom really is. The barren sands, the darkness and the
Tx:18.86  messages it transmits to you who made it to limit your awareness are  little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the
Tx:19.6  be possible only if the mind is limited to the body and divided into  little parts of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will
Tx:19.15 As faithlessness will keep your  little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy
Tx:19.33  gone. Its source has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a  little while before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it
Tx:19.41  with you? What seems to be the cost you are so unwilling to pay? The  little barrier of sand still stands between you. Would you reinforce
Tx:19.41  everyone, and how can He do this except through you? Would you let a  little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand
Tx:19.41  stand between your brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this  little remnant of attack you cherish still against each other that is
Tx:19.41  first obstacle the peace in you encounters in its going forth. This  little wall of hatred would still oppose the Will of God and keep it
Tx:19.42  let it join you wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a  little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the whole.
Tx:19.42  wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that  little is a limit you would place upon the whole. God's Will is One,
Tx:19.42  there is none beside it. What you would still contain behind your  little barrier and keep separate from each other seems mightier than
Tx:19.42  universe, for it would hold back the universe and its Creator. This  little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and keep it from Heaven.
Tx:19.43  Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not this  little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God. Peace will flow
Tx:19.43  apart from the one you asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The  little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For
Tx:19.44 To overcome the world is no more difficult than to surmount your  little wall. For in the miracle of your relationship, without this
Tx:19.45 There is a hush in Heaven, a happy expectancy, a  little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey's end. For
Tx:19.45  know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the  little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it. How can a shadow
Tx:19.46 The  little insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him
Tx:19.46  push Him out must produce conflict. As you look upon the world, this  little wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land and settle
Tx:19.47  weakness, which extends to everything. The variability which the  little remnant induces merely indicates its limited results.
Tx:19.48 How mighty can a  little feather be before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an
Tx:19.48  sun upon a garden covered by the snow? See but how easily this  little wisp is lifted up and carried away, never to return, and part
Tx:19.51  who allows them to feast only upon what they return to him. No  little shred of guilt escapes their hungry eyes. And in their savage
Tx:19.53  the gentle and the kind. They will be as careful to let no  little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little
Tx:19.53  let no little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no  little breath of love escape their notice. And they will return with
Tx:19.58 To think you could be satisfied and happy with so  little is to hurt yourself, and to limit the happiness that you would
Tx:19.63  salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a  little mound of clay, to be your home. In your holy relationship is
Tx:19.68 Your  little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of
Tx:20.19  dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a  little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made
Tx:20.31  freedom is. Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, for those with  little wings have not accepted for themselves the power to share with
Tx:20.39  is that it wants the other for itself and therefore values him too  little. What is inestimable clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you
Tx:20.41 Your brother's body is as  little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the Holy
Tx:20.41  let this be accomplished, when one would do? There is but one. The  little breath of eternity that runs through time like golden light is
Tx:20.52  of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held together for a  little while in time and vanished. For what could house this mad idea
Tx:20.57  Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you fear each other a  little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God remains with you. Yet
Tx:20.58  almost nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so  little or could offer more.
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the Holy Spirit indeed asked  little. He asks no more to give the means as well. The means are
Tx:20.60  and they are perfectly in line with it. Before we look at them a  little closer, remember that if you think they are impossible, your
Tx:20.71  your distress and need for help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully  little the perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment will
Tx:21.7  live, adjusting to it as they think they must, afraid to lose the  little that they have. And so it is with all who see the body as all
Tx:21.7  adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the body is to save the  little that they have. Listen and try to think if you remember what
Tx:21.8  unremembered. Not the whole song has stayed with you, but just a  little wisp of melody, attached not to a person or a place or
Tx:21.8  or a place or anything particular. But you remember from just this  little part how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where
Tx:21.13 We have repeated how  little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small
Tx:21.13  you need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the  little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you
Tx:21.13  offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very  little on which salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the
Tx:21.13  it now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this  little cost seemed in your judgment to be too much to pay for peace.
Tx:21.17  of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the  little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to
Tx:21.18 Begrudge not, then, this  little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the world as now you see
Tx:21.18  and everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so  little. In the holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained.
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this  little offering. Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply
Tx:21.31  is it strange to you that faith can move mountains? This is indeed a  little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in
Tx:21.48  keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon the ego unafraid.  Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness the way to
Tx:21.70  the helpless could believe in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the  little. And only those who first believe that they are little could
Tx:21.70  save to the little. And only those who first believe that they are  little could see attraction there. Treachery to the Son of God is the
Tx:21.81  exchange your helplessness for power, and lose this same desire as a  little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless
Tx:22.48 How weak is fear—how  little and how meaningless! How insignificant before the quiet
Tx:22.49 If you but recognized how  little stands between you and your awareness of your union! Be not
Tx:22.58  and welcomed. He will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one  little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost
Tx:22.59  He will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make each  little gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each little
Tx:22.59  make each little gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each  little gift you offer to the other lights up the world. Be not
Tx:22.65  is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a  little of the ego with this gift. For it was given you to be used and
Tx:23.4 Let not the  little interferers pull you to littleness. There can be no attraction
Tx:23.4  with truth beside you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a  little sigh of seeming sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's
Tx:23.5  kept in your awareness. For who can know his glory and perceive the  little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in a fearful
Tx:23.13  they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far beyond their  little reach. You will remember what you know when you have learned
Tx:23.43  To compromise is to accept but part of what you want—to take a  little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is
Tx:23.43  belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a  little, love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a
Tx:23.43  is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little, love a  little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little of the
Tx:23.43  love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a  little of the same can still be different, and yet the same remain
Tx:23.44  quiet, calm assurance it has come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a  little. Nor is it possible to attack for this and love for that and
Tx:23.50  to all. Yet does the Holy Spirit understand how to increase your  little gifts and make them mighty. Also He understands how your
Tx:24.28  not you that is so vulnerable and open to attack that just a word, a  little whisper that you do not like, a circumstance that suits you
Tx:24.32  by Him Who made not death, but only in the dream. Open your eyes a  little; see the savior God gave to you that you might look on him and
Tx:24.60  asked that you pursue another goal with far less vigilance—with  little effort and with little time and with the power of God
Tx:24.60  another goal with far less vigilance—with little effort and with  little time and with the power of God maintaining it and promising
Tx:24.65 Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The body, yes, a  little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you think you save,
Tx:25.35  they may be pushed away before the light. They linger for a while, a  little while, in twisted forms too far away for recognition and are
Tx:25.36  world and all the thoughts that entered it and were mistaken for a  little while. How better could your own mistakes be brought to truth
Tx:25.60  the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules the world”? For every  little gain must someone lose and pay exact amount in blood and
Tx:25.64  what one divided still against himself would find impossible. Have  little faith that wisdom could be found in such a state of mind. But
Tx:25.64  be found in such a state of mind. But be you thankful that only  little faith is asked of you. What but a little faith remains to
Tx:25.64  be you thankful that only little faith is asked of you. What but a  little faith remains to those who still believe in sin? What could
Tx:25.65  not escaped. The laws of sin demand a victim. Who it may be makes  little difference. But death must be the cost and must be paid. This
Tx:25.66  total cost. The rest is taken from another, to be laid beside your  little payment to “atone” for all that you would keep and not give
Tx:25.75  Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How  little need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given
Tx:25.78 What can it be but arrogance to think your  little errors cannot be undone by Heaven's justice? And what could
Tx:25.86 The  little problems that you keep and hide become your secret sins
Tx:26.1  a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of saving just a  little for yourself. To see a brother in another body separate from
Tx:26.1  body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a  little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you
Tx:26.1  attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a  little nearer or go a little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.1  beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a  little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.3 The  little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved through
Tx:26.3  through sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this  little part, remaining incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In
Tx:26.3  is limited and something still remains for you alone. And for this  little to belong to you are limits placed on everything outside, just
Tx:26.13  nails away. He does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or  little. He makes but one judgment—that to hurt God's Son must be
Tx:26.16  one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you will see each  little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all
Tx:26.16  resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are  little in His sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness brings no  little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God
Tx:26.29  you still is holding back the happy opening of Heaven's gate. How  little is the hindrance which withholds the wealth of Heaven from
Tx:26.30 A  little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand
Tx:26.31  is ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a  little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher
Tx:26.45 Lead not your  little lives in solitude with one illusion as your only friend. This
Tx:26.54  brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a  little space to you, another little space to him. This separating off
Tx:26.54  limit you to time and place and give a little space to you, another  little space to him. This separating off is symbolized in your
Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a  little wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to
Tx:26.56  and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a  little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that
Tx:26.56  true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a  little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world
Tx:26.58 Here does the Son of God ask not too much but far too  little. He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to find a
Tx:26.58  He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to find a  little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a sense of
Tx:26.65  But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave and choose a  little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The gift of God to
Tx:26.67  has been true be recognized by those who know it not. And by this  little gift of truth but let to be itself—the Son of God allowed to
Tx:26.68  and will receive the benefits of trust. This but reflects the  little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a little
Tx:26.68  the little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a  little separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes
Tx:26.69  settle every problem now. Thus do you think it safer to remain a  little careful and a little watchful of interests perceived as
Tx:26.69  now. Thus do you think it safer to remain a little careful and a  little watchful of interests perceived as separate. From this
Tx:26.70  body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a  little space between you still, you want a little time in which
Tx:26.70  for. If you would keep a little space between you still, you want a  little time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while. This
Tx:26.70  you still, you want a little time in which forgiveness is withheld a  little while. This makes the interval between the time in which
Tx:26.75  to be the form in which the “good” appears, is but one aspect of the  little space that lies between you, unforgiven still.
Tx:26.76  consequence and cause must come as one. Look not to time but to the  little space between you still to be delivered from. And do not let
Tx:26.78 Is it too much to ask a  little trust for him who carries Christ to you, that you may be
Tx:27.8  every stolen scrap of pleasure is their righteous payment for their  little lives? Their death will pay the price for all of them if they
Tx:27.9  be reason to remain content to seek for passing joys and cherish  little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the body not
Tx:27.59  Who sends forth miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of pain, a  little worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are but a
Tx:27.67  look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one  little space. And it is here you find the cause of your perspective
Tx:27.69  but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its dream. So  little is his worth that he is but a dancing shadow, leaping up and
Tx:27.72  of suffering, the space between your dreams and your reality. The  little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of
Tx:27.77  made by other bodies, born into the world outside the body, lives a  little while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies
Tx:27.78  and real. It puts things on itself which it has bought with  little metal discs or paper strips the world proclaims as valuable
Tx:28.1  are no longer in the mind that thought of them and loved them for a  little while. The miracle but shows the past is gone, and what has
Tx:28.15  God has come to take the place of loss? What better way to close the  little gap between illusions and reality than to allow the memory of
Tx:28.30  has been bred. Thus are you joined in sickness, to preserve the  little gap unhealed, where sickness is kept carefully protected,
Tx:28.30  and upheld by firm belief, lest God should come to bridge the  little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with illusions,
Tx:28.31  end of fear, and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is  little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill
Tx:28.32  and covered up the space which seemed to keep them separate for a  little while? Where are the grounds for sickness when the minds have
Tx:28.32  are the grounds for sickness when the minds have joined to close the  little gap between them where the seeds of sickness seemed to grow?
Tx:28.34  have nothing left behind the open door. What is the world except a  little gap perceived to tear eternity apart and break it into days
Tx:28.39  joined in brotherhood. His body and his dreams but seem to make a  little gap, where yours have joined with his.
Tx:28.40  are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of fear will haunt the  little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have supported in
Tx:28.44  his identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of just a  little broken bit which he insisted was himself. And when he sees
Tx:28.44  dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place within the  little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you will come to close each  little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your
Tx:28.50 You have conceived a  little gap between illusions and the truth to be the place where all
Tx:28.50  It does not know what seeing is, what listening is for. It is as  little able to perceive as it can judge or understand or know. Its
Tx:28.52  it shares the function all creation shares. It is not made of  little bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or two perhaps, all
Tx:28.53 You who believe there is a  little gap between you, do not understand that it is here that you
Tx:28.53  tombs where terror rises from the bones of death. Look at the  little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that
Tx:28.54 Who punishes the body is insane. For here the  little gap is seen, and yet it is not here. It has not judged itself
Tx:28.56  It sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and  little by your wish. It seems to punish you and thus deserve your
Tx:28.57 The body represents the gap between the  little bit of mind you call your own and all the rest of what is
Tx:28.60  need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty space, a  little gap, would be a lack. And it is only there that he could want
Tx:28.65  when its weakness lies not in itself but in the frailty of the  little gap of nothingness whereon it stands? What can be safe which

Tx:29.2  that love is fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the  little gap must bring to those who cherish it and think that it is
Tx:29.3  that your separate interests made your friendship possible a  little while. But not without a gap between you, lest he turn again
Tx:29.42  and with happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a  little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a
Tx:29.42  in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a  little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of
Tx:29.53  for your reality. In some way, you believe they will complete your  little self [and let you walk in] safety in a world perceived as
Tx:29.53  himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek beyond his  little self for strength to raise his head and stand apart from all
Tx:29.57  God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to hate a  little while, to suffer pain, and finally to die.
Tx:29.64  and have done to make you sinful and put out the light within you.  Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols are the
Tx:29.66  game in which the child becomes the father, powerful, but with the  little wisdom of a child. What hurts him is destroyed; what helps
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have  little need to last. They are not made to separate the mind from what
Tx:30.1 —your willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a  little every time it is attempted. And together will these steps lead
Tx:30.2  You do not always know when you are making them. But with a  little practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form
Tx:30.35  not your will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a  little creature with a little life. Your will is boundless; it is not
Tx:30.35  be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a  little life. Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be
Tx:30.38  attained. It is as if you said, “I have no need of everything. This  little thing I want, and it will be as everything to me.” And this
Tx:30.39  what shares in all creation cannot be content with small ideas and  little things.
Tx:30.52  that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a  little while, according to the rules you set for them. But then they
Tx:30.56  made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so  little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even in
Tx:30.59  happiness in him so sure and constant he can barely stay and wait a  little longer with his feet still touching earth. Yet is he glad to
Tx:31.6 Is this a  little Voice, so small and still It cannot rise above the senseless

W1:125.5  you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered off a  little while from Him. He does not cherish the illusions which you
W1:128.1  he would leave this world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and  little ways.
W1:128.5  which bar the door to freedom from the world and go beyond all  little values and diminished goals.
W1:128.6 Peace and be still a  little while, and see how far you rise above the world when you
W1:128.7  it before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a  little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The world is
W1:129.2 It might be worth a  little time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps
W1:129.5  the world that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from  little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value
W1:130.7  a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with us a  little part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only what
W1:130.12 Accept a  little part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed
W1:131.3  while in your heart you pray for danger and protection for the  little dream you made.
W1:133.2 You do not ask too much of life, but far too  little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to things
W1:133.2  not for happiness. This course does not attempt to take from you the  little that you have. It does not try to substitute utopian ideas for
W1:133.6  compromise in what your choice must bring. It cannot give you just a  little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make brings
W1:134.6  It does not countenance illusions but collects them lightly with a  little laugh and gently lays them at the feet of truth. And there
W1:135.5  constant care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its  little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son
W1:135.7  all the functions that you see in it and set its value far beyond a  little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of something
W1:135.14  far exceeds its own protection and which needs its service for a  little while. In this capacity is health assured. For everything the
W1:135.27  defense to learn the part for you within the plan of God. What  little plans or magical beliefs can still have value when you have
W1:135.28  celebrate your Eastertime with you. Throughout the day, as foolish  little things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you to
W1:136.2  change it, render it inept, distort it, twist it, or reduce it to a  little pile of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep
W1:136.9  strange, haunting thought that you might be something beyond this  little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For see, this dust can make
W1:136.13  to give you happiness, for such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a  little when you throw away its gifts, and yet it knows with perfect
W1:137.9  Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours, how  little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones
W1:137.10 His life becomes your own as you extend the  little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused
W1:137.13  of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a  little time a small expense to offer for the gift of everything?
W1:153.16  of the world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a  little while and turn our thoughts to God.
W1:156.7  keep you bound no longer. The approach to God is near. And in the  little interval of doubt which still remains, you may perhaps lose
W1:157.7 As this experience increases and all goals but this become of  little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little
W1:157.7  become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a  little closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven in its
W1:157.7  which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a  little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance.
W1:157.7  closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a  little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will come
W1:161.4  in the sense that it is all-encompassing. We need to see a  little that we learn a lot.
W1:164.9  Would God deceive you? Can His promise fail? Can you withhold so  little when His Hand holds out complete salvation to His Son?

W1:166.6 —weary, worn, in threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a  little from the rocky road he walks. No one but has identified with
W1:167.2  joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and suffering and pain, even a  little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown,
W1:169.10  depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a  little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune
W1:169.11  Heaven yet does not replace the thought of time but for a  little while. The interval suffices. It is here that miracles are
W1:R5.2  Word and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a  little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow,
W1:R5.7  to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take brings us a  little nearer. This review will shorten time immeasurably if we keep
W1:R5.8 I take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a  little while, that you may come to me who recognize the road by which

W1:I2.3  accept its presence. So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a  little while each day. No more than this is asked because no more
W1:181.3 Therefore in practicing today, we first let all such  little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness
W1:181.3  instruct our minds that it is this we seek and only this, for just a  little while. We do not care about our future goals, and what we saw
W1:181.5 We lay these pointless limitations by a  little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will

W1:182.6 This Child needs your protection. He is far from home. He is so  little that He seems so easily shut out, His tiny Voice so readily
W1:182.9 Rest with Him frequently today. For He was willing to become a  little child that you might learn of Him how strong is he who comes
W1:182.10 Christ is reborn as but a  little Child each time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must

W1:183.4  to you, although before you let the Name of God replace their  little names, you stood before them worshipfully, naming them as gods.
W1:183.8  And God will come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the  little prayers of those who call on Him with names of idols cherished
W1:183.9  thoughts respond with this, and see God's Name replace the thousand  little names you gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is One

W1:186.7  Let it go. Salvation of the world depends on you and not upon this  little pile of dust. What can it tell the holy Son of God? Why need

Tx:15.22  it is a world made out of littleness in the strange belief that  littleness can content you. When you strive for anything in this
Tx:15.22  peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to glory.  Littleness and glory are the choices open to your striving and your
Tx:15.23  choose is that your choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose  littleness and you will not have peace, for you will have judged
Tx:15.23  you accept the fact, and accept it gladly, that there is no form of  littleness that can ever content you. You are free to try as many as

Tx:15.31  teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby  littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the

Tx:15.34  His host, for it protects only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not  littleness before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and
Tx:15.35  while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release from  littleness.
Tx:15.36 Your practice must therefore rest upon your willingness to let all  littleness go. The instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is
Tx:15.36  away as your 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

Tx:16.64  is magnified, and what is strong and powerful cut down to  littleness. In the transition there is a period of confusion in which
Tx:18.34 Humility will never ask that you remain content with  littleness. But it does require that you be not content with less
Tx:19.57 Yet would I offer you my body, you whom I love, knowing its  littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot keep us apart? Mine
Tx:23.4 Let not the little interferers pull you to  littleness. There can be no attraction of guilt in innocence. Think
Tx:23.4  destiny and purpose are far beyond them in the clean place where  littleness does not exist. Your purpose is at variance with
Tx:23.4  where littleness does not exist. Your purpose is at variance with  littleness of any kind. And so it is at variance with sin.
Tx:23.5 Let us not let  littleness lead God's Son into temptation. His glory is beyond it,
Tx:24.12  make of him a tiny measure of your specialness instead. Against the  littleness you see in him, you stand as tall and stately, clean and

W1:42.3 We will have two three- to five-minute  longer exercise periods today, one as soon as possible after you wake
W1:43.8 For the second and  longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's
W1:44.4  three practice periods today, each lasting three to five minutes. A  longer time is highly recommended, but only if you find the time
W1:44.5 Your mind is no  longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of
W1:46.3  periods and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin the  longer practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as
W1:47.4  strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary today, and  longer and more frequent ones are urged. Close your eyes and begin as

W1:65.5 For this  longer practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then

Tx:11.67  a law of mind. Perception is projection, and you look in before you  look out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then

Tx:11.72  will learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you  look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it
Tx:11.72  want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we will  look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes of

Tx:11.94  will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you  look upon him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the

Tx:12.37  it, and all the love your brothers offer you, you do not see. As you  look with open eyes upon your world, it must occur to you that you
Tx:12.38  completely, and you see only your own split mind everywhere you  look. God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with
Tx:12.38  own voice. And the vision of Christ is not in your sight, for you  look upon yourself alone.
Tx:12.39  changed. You who know not what you do can learn what insanity is and  look beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity and
Tx:12.43  which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you will see as you  look with Him, for His vision is His gift of love to you, given Him
Tx:12.45  sane to perceive what was now. If you remember the past as you  look upon your brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality
Tx:12.46  this is unnatural because it is delusional. When you have learned to  look upon everyone with no reference at all to the past, either his
Tx:12.47  see Him through Himself. To be born again is to let the past go and  look without condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which
Tx:12.50  Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only things that are

Tx:12.56  closed. You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot  look upon the light you gave to them.
Tx:12.58 Sit quietly and  look upon the world you see, and tell yourself,
Tx:13.17  You throw a dark veil over it and cannot see it because you cannot  look within. You are afraid of what you would see there, but it is
Tx:13.17  there, but it is not there. The thing you fear is gone. If you would  look within, you would see only the Atonement, shining in quiet and
Tx:13.18 Do not be afraid to  look within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and
Tx:13.18  ego tells 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
Tx:13.18  with guilt within you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you  look upon your brothers and see the guilt in them. Yet this you
Tx:13.18  and guilty in the dark in which they shroud them, are too afraid to  look upon the light within. Within you is not what you believe is
Tx:13.19  innocence? You can deny His knowledge, but you cannot change it.  Look, then, upon the light He placed within you and learn that what

Tx:13.28  in you. Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and  look past darkness to the holy place where you will see the light.
Tx:13.29 Release from guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to  look within and see the light of love shining as steadily and as
Tx:13.29  who have always loved your Father can have no fear for any reason to  look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you

Tx:14.15  everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and  look out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out,
Tx:14.18  being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance,  look to them only for fear, for what they keep obscure is fearful.
Tx:14.25  by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you  look at fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals
Tx:14.30  if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot  look upon. For He sees for you, and unless you look with Him, He
Tx:14.30  you hide He cannot look upon. For He sees for you, and unless you  look with Him, He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him
Tx:14.30  you. Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him and  look upon them with Him. He holds the light, and you the darkness.
Tx:14.30  and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you together  look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it to you

Tx:15.46  If you seek to separate out certain aspects of the totality and  look to them to meet your imagined needs, you are attempting to use
Tx:15.53  of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need to  look without and snatch it guiltily from where you thought it was.

Tx:15.96  conceive of love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must  look upon—sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but
Tx:15.99  this has been so great that you have given God away rather than  look at it. For if God would demand total sacrifice of you, you

Tx:16.37  relationship with them is without guilt, and this enables you to  look on all your brothers with gratitude because your creations were
Tx:16.53  is weak and little, [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to  look upon it. You think it safer to endow the little self which you
Tx:16.60 Love is freedom. To  look for it by placing yourself in bondage is to separate yourself
Tx:16.60  the ego has taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet the closer you  look at the special relationship, the more apparent it becomes that
Tx:16.67  have escaped the mockery of salvation which the ego offered you and  look not back with longing on the travesty it made of your
Tx:16.67  of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane could  look on death and suffering, sickness and despair and see it thus.
Tx:16.74  But what else could it be? In seeking the special relationship, you  look not for glory in yourself. You have denied that it is there, and
Tx:17.7 Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will  look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely.
Tx:17.7  of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to  look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was created to see
Tx:17.12 All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you  look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally
Tx:17.35  Look at the picture. Do not let the frame distract you. This gift is
Tx:17.35  gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the hypnotic gleaming of the frame.  Look at the picture, and realize that death is offered you.
Tx:17.38  is the gift. And only on this basis are you really free to choose.  Look at the pictures. Both of them. One is a tiny picture, hard to
Tx:17.38  enclosure. The other is lightly framed and hung in light, lovely to  look upon for what it is.
Tx:17.39  and ceases to distract you from the picture. And finally you  look upon the picture itself, seeing at last that, unprotected by the
Tx:17.40  The picture of Heaven and eternity grows more convincing as you  look at it. And now by real comparison a transformation of both
Tx:17.41  contrast, is transformed into what lies beyond the picture. As you  look on this, you realize that it is not a picture but a reality.
Tx:17.57  to use them in each situation separately, until you can more safely  look beyond each situation in an understanding far broader than you
Tx:17.59  to happen and makes no sense until it has already happened. Then you  look back at it and try to piece together what it must have meant.
Tx:17.68  and you are faithless. Use not your faithlessness. Let it enter and  look upon it calmly, but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant
Tx:17.68  of the goal to you. Accept not the illusion of peace it offers, but  look upon its offering and recognize it is illusion.
Tx:18.5  of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to  look at them. But nothing you have seen begins to show you the
Tx:18.12  apart what is already broken and hopeless? Is it here that you would  look for happiness? Or would you not prefer to heal what has been
Tx:18.66  Yet the means are tedious and very time consuming, for all of them  look to the future for release from a state of present unworthiness
Tx:18.78  Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to enter?  Look at the desert, dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless, which
Tx:18.88  always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes will never  look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates.
Tx:19.9  For by withholding faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot  look beyond the barrier to what is joined with you.
Tx:19.30  it is unbroken and forever changeless. This One can teach you how to  look on time differently and see beyond it, but not while you believe
Tx:19.34 And yet you  look with Heaven's smile upon your lips and Heaven's blessing on your
Tx:19.35  for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can see.  Look not for what has been removed but for the glory that has been
Tx:19.36  Look upon your Redeemer and behold what He would show you in each
Tx:19.36  For sin would keep you separate, but your Redeemer would have you  look upon each other as yourself. Your relationship is now a temple
Tx:19.39  you owe to Him He asks but that you receive for Him. And when you  look with gentle graciousness upon each other, you are beholding Him.
Tx:19.45  you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now.  Look not upon the little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it.
Tx:19.46  Who you invited in and push Him out must produce conflict. As you  look upon the world, this little wish, uprooted and floating
Tx:19.49 The attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would never  look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to look upon only the
Tx:19.49  love would never look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to  look upon only the truth, for there it sees itself, with which it
Tx:19.49  with which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must  look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end
Tx:19.51  fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would  look upon is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. Relationships
Tx:19.51  depends on which emotion was called on to send its messengers to  look upon it and return with word of what they saw. Fear's messengers
Tx:19.62 It is only the messengers of fear that see the body, for they  look for what can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what
Tx:19.64  The end of guilt is in your hands to give. Would you stop now to  look for guilt in each other?
Tx:19.65 Let me be to you the symbol of the end of guilt, and  look upon each other as you would look on me. Forgive me all the sins
Tx:19.65  symbol of the end of guilt, and look upon each other as you would  look on me. Forgive me all the sins you think the Son of God
Tx:19.83  be accomplished first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you  look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be
Tx:19.85  die, for only death could conquer life. And what but insanity could  look upon the defeat of God and think it real?
Tx:19.89 Take this from me and  look upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of sin
Tx:19.93  you have agreed never to let the fear of God be lifted so you could  look upon the face of Christ and join Him in His Father.
Tx:19.95 And now you stand in terror before what you swore never to  look upon. Your eyes look down, remembering your promise to your
Tx:19.95  stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes  look down, remembering your promise to your “friends.” The
Tx:19.95  rise and bid you not to raise your eyes. For you realize that if you  look on this and let the veil be lifted, they will be gone forever.
Tx:19.96  leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your will.  Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore believe that you are at
Tx:19.96  and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your will to  look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no
Tx:19.97  through its help. It does not open up its secrets and bid you  look on them and go beyond them. It would not have you see its
Tx:19.97  remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you will be ready to  look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and
Tx:19.97  look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and  look upon each other in innocence born of complete forgiveness of
Tx:19.98 No one can  look upon the fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the
Tx:19.98  far unless his brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to  look on it without complete forgiveness of his brother in his heart.
Tx:19.99 Nor is it possible to  look on this too soon. This is the place to which everyone must come
Tx:19.99  you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose whether to  look upon it or wander on, only to return and make the choice again.
Tx:19.100 To  look upon the fear of God does need some preparation. Only the sane
Tx:19.100  upon the fear of God does need some preparation. Only the sane can  look on stark insanity and raving madness with pity and compassion
Tx:19.100  share in it does it seem fearful, and you do share in it until you  look upon each other with perfect faith and love and tenderness.
Tx:19.106  mercy are yours to give. Into the hands that give the gift is given.  Look on your brother, and see in him the gift of God you would
Tx:19.107  your brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, nor  look upon him with condemnation of any kind. See him as guiltless as
Tx:19.107  upon him with condemnation of any kind. See him as guiltless as I  look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within himself.
Tx:19.109 Think carefully how you would  look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on him, so will the
Tx:19.109  carefully how you would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you  look on him, so will the gift itself appear to be. As he is seen as
Tx:20.4  with him. The time of Easter is a time of joy and not of mourning.  Look on your risen Friend and celebrate his holiness along with me.
Tx:20.5  Look upon all the trinkets made to hang upon the body or to cover it
Tx:20.8  him? Be you his friend for me that I may be forgiven and you may  look upon the Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the altar
Tx:20.8  I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as whole. But  look you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see what you
Tx:20.8  and it is separation that you offer me. And yet the thorns are gone.  Look you still closer at them now, and you will see your altar is no
Tx:20.9 You  look still with the body's eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you
Tx:20.10 This Easter  look with different eyes upon each other. You have forgiven me. And
Tx:20.11 You have the vision now to  look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no
Tx:20.11  to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to  look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him,
Tx:20.11  his release. For you have asked for and been given the strength to  look upon this final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails to crucify
Tx:20.12  have you ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to  look nor where. And now you know. In you the knowledge lies, ready to
Tx:20.13  of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from illusions, and  look on him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies and brings
Tx:20.19  themselves to a world made fearful by their adjustments. And they  look out in sorrow from what is sad within and see the sadness there.
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the world is really like; how it would  look through happy eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on
Tx:20.20  it was you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness seems to  look back at you, it can be corrected.
Tx:20.23  thing in all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I  look upon the Son of God?”
Tx:20.24  the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The world you  look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have given it power
Tx:20.27  There is no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must  look on others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it
Tx:20.27  see safety, and the pure in heart see God within His Son and  look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And where else would
Tx:20.32  not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to  look upon the face of Christ and see Him sinless.
Tx:20.41  use which serves the purpose of a holy relationship. And while you  look upon each other thus, the means and end have not been brought in
Tx:20.42 You  look upon each holy instant as a different point in time. It never
Tx:20.42  will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will  look upon already seen.
Tx:20.53  rising to welcome what you really want. And from His holy temple,  look you not back on what you have awakened from. For no illusions
Tx:20.60  the goal, and they are perfectly in line with it. Before we  look at them a little closer, remember that if you think they are
Tx:20.61 It is impossible to see your brother as sinless and yet to  look upon him as a body. Is this not perfectly consistent with the
Tx:20.65  undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot  look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother,
Tx:20.66  is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing  look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he sees is
Tx:20.69 Your brother's sinlessness is given you in shining light, to  look on with the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with
Tx:20.70  the vision which enables each one to see the body not. And as you  look upon each other, you will see an altar to your Father, holy as
Tx:20.70  a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather  look on it than on the truth? How can the engine of destruction be
Tx:20.72  to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in everything.  Look through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned before
Tx:21.4  be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must  look like. It must be seen before you recognize it for what it is.
Tx:21.10  somehow familiar, is an arc of golden light that stretches as you  look into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with
Tx:21.12  they made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will  look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is they
Tx:21.19  to have it taken from him and be replaced with truth. And as you  look upon the change in him, it will be given you to see it in
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this little offering.  Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the whole
Tx:21.23  comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to  look within and see what must be there plainly in sight and wholly
Tx:21.36  for sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to  look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith
Tx:21.36  follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to  look away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.40  serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their seeing, they  look past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs
Tx:21.41  correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to  look within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be
Tx:21.42  Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to  look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God will
Tx:21.42  and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not  look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it.
Tx:21.42  proclamation, the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to  look within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes
Tx:21.43  sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to  look within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  yet born within you. Not wholly mad, you have been willing to  look on much of your insanity and recognize its madness. Your faith
Tx:21.44  you. And yet this part with which you now identify is not afraid to  look upon itself. It knows no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been
Tx:21.46  it would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to  look within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to
Tx:21.48  Look gently on each other and remember the ego's weakness is revealed
Tx:21.49  if other things were equal. They are not equal. For what you  look for, you are far more likely to discover than what you would
Tx:21.60  guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and  look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be
Tx:21.61  Madness and reason see the same things, but it is certain that they  look upon them differently.
Tx:21.66  would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out for everyone to  look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.78  in the other three. And then it will be clear to you that, as you  look on the effects of sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask
Tx:21.82  since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those who  look on sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the last
Tx:21.84  who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will  look on it and think it real. No thought but has the power to release
Tx:22.1  Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer  look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could
Tx:22.1  have come together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can  look on sin together, for they could never see it in the same place
Tx:22.6  Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which  look upon the world. If this is not your vision, what can it show to
Tx:22.24 Let us  look closer at the whole illusion that what you made has power to
Tx:22.25 Behold the great projection, but  look on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with
Tx:22.26  have been impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to  look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is
Tx:22.26  what He gave the Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not  look upon the savior that has been given you? And would you not
Tx:22.28  Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God created it for you.  Look on your holy brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you
Tx:22.33  cannot see beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to  look on error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange
Tx:22.33  a strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to  look beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form
Tx:22.41  will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful will each of you  look to the other! How happy you will be to be together after such a
Tx:22.50  to overlook what seems to stand between you that makes it  look impenetrable and defends the illusion of its immovability.
Tx:22.59 What can it be but universal blessing to  look on what your Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness
Tx:22.59  to the other lights up the world. Be not concerned with darkness;  look away from it and toward each other. And let the darkness be
Tx:22.60  at the mercy of countless attackers more powerful than you. Let us  look straight at how this error came about, for here lies buried the
Tx:22.64  experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are one?  Look not with fear upon this happy fact and think not that it lays a
Tx:23.6 Nothing around you but is part of you.  Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So will you
Tx:23.14  yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you  look on anything that God created with anything but love. Conflict is
Tx:23.19  to constitute an obstacle to reason and to truth. Let us, then,  look upon them calmly, that we may look beyond them, understanding
Tx:23.19  and to truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may  look beyond them, understanding what they are, not what they would
Tx:23.29  taken from you by this enemy and hidden where you would not think to  look. He hid it in his body, making it the cover for his guilt, the
Tx:23.31  make the ground beneath your feet seem solid. And it is here you  look for meaning. These are the laws you made for your salvation.
Tx:23.33  fear, with ashen lips and sightless eyes, blinded and terrible to  look upon, is lifted to the throne of love, its dying conqueror, its
Tx:23.36  do not believe these senseless laws nor act upon them. And when you  look at what they say, they cannot be believed. Brothers, you do
Tx:23.41  his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he will suffer and will  look on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and where
Tx:23.46  it will not return. There is no safety in a battleground. You can  look down on it in safety from above and not be touched. But from
Tx:23.51 Be lifted up and from a higher place  look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite
Tx:23.53 See no one from the battleground, for there you  look on him from nowhere. You have no reference-point from where to
Tx:23.53  look on him from nowhere. You have no reference-point from where to  look, where meaning can be given what you see. For only bodies could
Tx:24.9  other if you chose to see no specialness of any kind between you?  Look fairly at whatever makes you give each other only partial
Tx:24.16  Christ's vision is their “enemy,” for it sees not what they would  look upon, and it would show them that the specialness they think
Tx:24.32  your eyes a little; see the savior God gave to you that you might  look on him and give him back his birthright. It is yours.
Tx:24.33  calls to you from him to join His Will to save you both from hell.  Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your
Tx:24.43  him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and love to  look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy
Tx:24.43  upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy to  look upon decay and madness and believe this crumbling thing, with
Tx:24.46  see their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are yours to  look upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness
Tx:24.51  absent from your own. It is His Will you share His love for you and  look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you before the
Tx:24.53  Look on your brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws
Tx:24.54 It is His sinlessness that eyes which see can  look upon. It is His loveliness they see in everything. And it is He
Tx:24.54  upon. It is His loveliness they see in everything. And it is He they  look for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor time where He is
Tx:24.55  holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is yours to  look upon. Yet will you choose in countless situations and through
Tx:24.70  Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this body in a
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you will see a body.  Look at this body in a different light, and it looks different. And
Tx:24.70  means to make your wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you  look on it, the hands that feel it, and the ears with which you
Tx:24.72  brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in how they  look, nor where they go, nor even what they do. They have a different
Tx:25.5 How can you manifest the Christ in you except you  look on holiness and see Him there? Perception tells you, you are
Tx:25.5  and you will believe that you are there. And every body that you  look upon reminds you of yourself—your sinfulness, your evil, and
Tx:25.18  God's frame instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece.  Look at its loveliness, and understand the Mind that thought it, not
Tx:25.18  you saw it in a frame of death. God kept it safe that you might  look on it and see the holiness that He has given it.
Tx:25.19  Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you  look on him, and you will see the dark no more. The darkness touched
Tx:25.19  darkness touched him not, nor you who brought him forth for you to  look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes
Tx:25.19  yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will gladly  look within and see the holiness that must be there because of what
Tx:25.34  world you bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that  look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can come their rest.
Tx:25.34  can come their rest. From you can rise a world they will rejoice to  look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you there is a vision
Tx:25.38  and wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each time you  look on one another. He has not gone because your eyes are closed.
Tx:25.39  you see by looking thus. It is the “enemy” confused with Christ you  look upon. And hate because there is no sin in him for you to see.
Tx:25.42  your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell.  Look once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that
Tx:25.43 The grace of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they  look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in
Tx:25.44  they turn away from sunlight and the clarity it brings to what they  look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see and better
Tx:25.44  recognized. Somehow, the vague and more obscure seems easier to  look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is wholly clear and
Tx:25.45 Will you behold your brother? God is glad to have you  look on him. He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor
Tx:25.55  is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would  look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a
Tx:25.60  the total cost of any gain at all. You who believe that God is mad,  look carefully at this and understand that it must be that either God
Tx:25.69  And what escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to  look like Heaven's gate?
Tx:25.75  not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you  look to your experience within the world, which is but shadows of all
Tx:26.1  of a wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest.  Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to anything
Tx:26.14  his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you will not  look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem for
Tx:26.33  long since gone. You think you live in what is past. Each thing you  look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago before its unreality
Tx:26.43  nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago.  Look gently on each other and behold the world in which perception of
Tx:26.76  a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one.  Look not to time but to the little space between you still to be
Tx:26.77  attack His chosen home and battle with His host. Regard him gently.  Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ within him, that you
Tx:27.2  yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence and need but  look on you to realize that he has been condemned. And what to you
Tx:27.6  and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he will  look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look beyond
Tx:27.6  And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will  look beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the
Tx:27.49  it. The world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes  look lovingly upon the Friend who brought them their release. And
Tx:27.63 Now you are being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you  look upon the problem as it is, and not the way that you have set it
Tx:27.66  the effects which then bear witness to the cause and not themselves.  Look, then, beyond effects. It is not here the cause of suffering and
Tx:27.67  it is this the world bears witness to. Seek not another cause nor  look among the mighty legions of its witnesses for its undoing. They
Tx:27.67  on your allegiance. What conceals the truth is not where you should  look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one
Tx:27.77  is its main concern. Its comfort is its guiding rule. It tries to  look for pleasure and avoid the things that would be hurtful. Above
Tx:27.81  appear to be the cause of what it is you do? Then let us merely  look upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the
Tx:27.82 We can remember this if we but  look directly at their cause. And we will see the grounds for
Tx:27.85  entirely? He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that you may  look together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You
Tx:28.51  a dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to  look upon a world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make

Tx:28.54  to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of pain a joy and  look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not tell you what its
Tx:29.11  as yet perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet seen.  Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but
Tx:29.13  Him. He has laid them at your feet and asks you now that you will  look on them and take them for your own. He needs your help in giving
Tx:29.14  see your Guest, but you can see the gifts He brought. And when you  look on them, you will believe His Presence must be there. For what
Tx:29.19  loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a thing you love, or  look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the sum of everything,
Tx:29.46  yourself. The search implies you are not whole within and fear to  look upon your devastation and prefer to seek outside yourself for
Tx:29.48  within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place.  Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the
Tx:29.61  wish—to 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
Tx:30.23 I want another way to  look at this.
Tx:30.26 Perhaps there is another way to  look at this. What can I lose by asking?
Tx:30.35  Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of
Tx:30.37  with him, he is healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to  look upon your brother as a friend.
Tx:30.40  a form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not  look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete.
Tx:30.53  could it be but an illusion, making things appear like to itself?  Look calmly at its toys and understand that they are idols which but
Tx:30.55  that no one ever did, to overlook what is not there, and not to  look upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your will
Tx:30.63  they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still  look back and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their
Tx:30.63  joined their hands, it was Christ's hand they took, and they will  look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon
Tx:30.65  is passing from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear.  Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in
Tx:30.66 Do not  look back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of
Tx:30.68  he will pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you  look back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look
Tx:30.68  you look back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold.  Look forward, then, and walk in confidence with happy hearts that

Tx:30.76  an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to  look within and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on
Tx:30.77  Look on your brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do
Tx:30.81  Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you will understand
Tx:30.87  dreams are but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep.  Look not to separate dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be
Tx:30.93  to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to  look upon your brother thus. But not while you would have it
Tx:30.93  and whole. The Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would  look upon? Then let there be no dreams about him which you would
Tx:30.94 This will you  look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold
Tx:31.10  when he learns his innocence. For hate must father fear and  look upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear
Tx:31.11  is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the world you  look upon.
Tx:31.14  Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both before you can  look past them to the one alternative that is a different choice. But
Tx:31.36  in the world which seems to point to still another road. No longer  look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning now, and
Tx:31.47  fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever  look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson
Tx:31.47  The lesson teaches this: “I am the thing you made of me, and as you  look on me, you stand condemned because of what I am.” On this
Tx:31.57  it as you see yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you  look upon, and nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be
Tx:31.60  am and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to  look upon the world or on myself.
Tx:31.65  truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you  look upon nor what you choose to feel or think or wish. For God
Tx:31.72  with you, so that your fearful concept of yourself may change. And  look upon the good in him that you may not be frightened by your
Tx:31.73  to use, and you can see yourself another way. Would you not rather  look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world instead of as
Tx:31.74  hides it from your sight. All things you see are images because you  look on them as through a barrier which dims your sight and warps
Tx:31.74  most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies beyond. At least, you merely  look on darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from
Tx:31.77  ones whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or  look upon, not knowing who they are, all those you saw an instant and
Tx:31.78  him apart from yours? For holiness is seen through holy eyes that  look upon the innocence within and thus expect to see it everywhere.
Tx:31.78  to see it everywhere. And so they call it forth in everyone they  look upon that he may be what they expect of him. This is the
Tx:31.79  but represent a wish, because it has no power to create. Yet it can  look with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple choice
Tx:31.79  because it has no power to create. Yet it can look with love or  look with hate, depending only on the simple choice of whether you
Tx:31.80  serves a wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts and prepared to  look on only what the present holds. It cannot judge because it does
Tx:31.92 You are as God created you, and so is every living thing you  look upon, regardless of the images you see. What you behold as
Tx:31.93  with him, and through the Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him  look upon the Christ in him. My brothers in salvation, do not fail to
W1:1.1 Now  look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very
W1:1.3 Then  look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the idea to a
W1:4.1  you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to  look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a
W1:7.8  first time idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first.  Look at a cup, for example.
W1:7.10  Look about you. This is equally true of whatever you look at.
W1:7.10 Look about you. This is equally true of whatever you  look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today
W1:11.2  and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and  look about, near or far, up or down—anywhere. During the minute or
W1:12.2 These exercises are done with eyes open.  Look around you, this time quite slowly. Try to pace yourself so that
W1:12.3 As you  look about you, say to yourself:
W1:13.4  closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and  look about you slowly, saying:
W1:13.6 Repeat this statement to yourself as you  look about. Then close your eyes and conclude with:
W1:15.6  of today's idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to  look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The idea
W1:17.4 Then  look about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your
W1:18.3 Selecting subjects for the application of the idea randomly,  look at each one long enough to say:
W1:22.3  Look at the world about you at least five times today, for at least a
W1:23.6  five practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you  look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and then close
W1:28.5  just that table if you could withdraw all your own ideas from it and  look upon it with a completely open mind. It has something to show
W1:29.3 Try then today to begin to learn how to  look on all things with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You
W1:30.1  From this idea will the world open up before you, and you will  look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will
W1:31.2  to five minutes for each of them are recommended. During that time,  look about you slowly while repeating the idea two or three times.
W1:32.3  at the world you see as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and  look around your inner world. Try to treat them both as equally as
W1:35.4  or debased. All of them are equally unreal because you do not  look upon yourself through the eyes of holiness.
W1:36.3  the idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and  look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to
W1:36.6  the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea;  look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more
W1:42.7  close your eyes, repeat the idea once more, and then continue to  look for related thoughts in your mind.
W1:45.3  real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to  look for them in your mind because that is where they are. They must
W1:51.3  what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged everything I  look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This is not
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I  look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I  look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and
W1:52.3  I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will  look with love on all that I failed to see before.
W1:52.4  the past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I  look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let
W1:53.2  as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I  look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.
W1:54.3  I did not think, I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me  look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of
W1:54.6  the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined to see. I would  look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has
W1:54.6  laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace loss. I would  look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the
W1:55.4  and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I  look on now.
W1:56.3  truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will  look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love.
W1:56.4  I would let the door behind this world be opened for me that I may  look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.
W1:56.5  and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet  look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond them all.
W1:57.4  that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would  look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of
W1:57.6  that this peace comes from deep within myself. The world I  look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not  look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my
W1:60.4 [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will  look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I
W1:60.4  How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not  look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything
W1:60.6  As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I  look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that
W1:64.1  taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's eyes  look upon.
W1:64.11  At other times keep your eyes open after reviewing the thoughts and  look slowly and unselectively about you, telling yourself:
W1:65.14  close your eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and  look about you. It is what you see now that will be totally changed
W1:69.1 No one can  look upon what your grievances conceal. Because your grievances are
W1:69.3  light in us and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to  look upon and rejoice.
W1:69.9  you are not searching for it alone and that you do know where to  look for it. Say, then:
W1:73.5  this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will  look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is
W1:73.5  darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you  look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness,
W1:73.5  Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you  look upon a world of light.
W1:73.11  is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to  look upon the light in him and be saved.
W1:75.7  concept you have made. You have forgiven the world today. You can  look upon it now as if you never saw it before. You do not know yet
W1:75.10  because you trust in Him. Tell yourself you wait in certainty to  look upon the world He promised you. From this time forth you will
W1:76.2  it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation.  Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found. Look
W1:76.2  Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found.  Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else.
W1:78.2 Today we go beyond the grievances to  look upon the miracle instead. We will reverse the way you see by not
W1:78.4  God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not  look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as
W1:78.4  upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we  look out toward truth, away from fear.
W1:78.5  used as target for your grievances and lay the grievances aside and  look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you
W1:78.8  Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and truth that we may  look on him a different way and see our savior shining in the light
W1:78.11 Be very quiet now and  look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances obscure the sight
W1:84.4 Let me not see an illusion of myself in this. As I  look on this, let me remember my Creator. My Creator did not create
W1:85.5  not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not  look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to  look away from me for my salvation. I will not let this interfere
W1:86.7 I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I  look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see
W1:87.2  be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will  look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace
W1:87.4  to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this will  look different.
W1:99.5  of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit  look on what you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and
W1:99.10  them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you will  look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. Open your secrets to
W1:100.7 You are God's messenger today. You bring His happiness to all you  look upon, His peace to everyone who looks on you and sees His
W1:100.9  it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed!  Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and
W1:100.10 He will be there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather  look upon in place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What
W1:100.10  could you rather look upon in place of Him Who waits that you may  look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you back? What
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to  look again upon this world. For you will bring with you the promise
W1:109.1  dreams. We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to  look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will
W1:121.11 Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and  look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a
W1:121.11  brightness shining through the ugly picture which you hold of him.  Look at this picture till you see a light somewhere within it, and
W1:121.12  Look at this changed perception for a while, and turn your mind to
W1:122.3  the veil be lifted up which hides the face of Christ from those who  look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the
W1:122.8 Open your eyes today, and  look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the
W1:124.4  minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we  look upon. Today we see only the loving and the lovable.
W1:124.10  in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you to  look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there within
W1:124.11 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will  look into this glass and understand the sinless light you see belongs
W1:124.11  the sinless light you see belongs to you, the loveliness you  look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in
W1:129.5  stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you but  look forward, never back to see again the world you do not want. Here
W1:130.1  see a world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to  look upon what he believes he wants.
W1:130.10  tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you will  look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing
W1:131.1  all about you while you seek for goals that cannot be achieved. You  look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where there is none,
W1:131.3  for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for death. You  look for safety and security while in your heart you pray for danger
W1:132.4  And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can  look on them and think them real.
W1:132.14  briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will  look upon a world released.
W1:133.10  content to be deceived. Its goals are obvious to anyone who cares to  look for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived
W1:134.3  truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to  look past what is there; to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort
W1:134.4 Because you think your sins are real, you  look on pardon as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as
W1:135.11  truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you  look for its defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it
W1:137.4  been. Yet eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that what they  look upon is false. So healing, never needed by the truth, must
W1:139.9 Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself.  Look lovingly on them that they may know that they are part of you
W1:151.10  pain, disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you vision which can  look beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle face of
W1:153.9 We  look past dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because
W1:153.21  need to give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real to  look on Christ and see His sinlessness.
W1:155.3  today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to  look upon who chose to come and have not yet rejoiced to find they
W1:155.3  they need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can  look beyond illusion to the simple truth in them.
W1:155.6  they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their eyes to  look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the truth, which walks
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the world to God.  Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a
W1:157.5  from your fingertips to those you touch and blesses those you  look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think
W1:158.7 Christ's vision has one law. It does not  look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It
W1:160.6  can he find? A stranger to himself can find no home wherever he may  look, for he has made return impossible. His way is lost except a
W1:160.10  He has not forgotten you. But you will not remember Him until you  look on all as He does. Who denies his brother is denying Him and
W1:161.2  condition of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not  look on everything as one. It sees instead but fragments of the
W1:161.6  easily become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to  look beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's
W1:162.2  to its call. And those who live and hear this sound will never  look on death.
W1:163.8  be illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to  look past death and see the life beyond.
W1:163.9  Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would  look upon the glorious reflection of Your love which shines in
W1:164.1  the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to  look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in the eyes
W1:166.5  with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he will not  look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he
W1:166.8  upon your shoulder and perceive His gentle hand directing you to  look upon your gifts. How could you then proclaim your poverty in
W1:166.14 Your sighs will now betray the hopes of those who  look to you for their release. Your tears are theirs. If you are
W1:169.13  it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not  look beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace
W1:170.8 Today we  look upon this cruel god dispassionately. And we note that though his
W1:170.12 The choice you make today is certain. For you  look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made and
W1:181.1  that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not  look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks
W1:181.5 We lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not  look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon
W1:181.5  upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to  look upon the sinlessness within. We recognize that we have lost this
W1:181.7 It is not this that I would  look upon. I trust my brothers, who are one with me.
W1:181.9 Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we seek to  look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we
W1:181.10  becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone we  look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no
W1:181.10  for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing today. We  look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present.
W1:181.10  minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We  look straight into the present. And we give our trust to the
W1:185.2  said these words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to  look upon the world you see around you to be sure how very few they
W1:185.10  uncertain in your purpose and unsure of what you wanted, where to  look for it, and where to turn for help in the attempt. Help has been

W1:187.9  altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to  look upon such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God
W1:187.9  of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will  look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold
W1:187.9  before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to  look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of
W1:187.10  and give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we  look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of
W1:187.11  God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we  look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to
W1:188.2  deny the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to  look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of
W1:189.1  by the world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to  look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your
W1:189.4  and innocence they see surrounding them, the joy with which they  look out from the endless wells of joy within. What they have felt in
W1:189.4  the endless wells of joy within. What they have felt in them they  look upon and see its sure reflection everywhere.
W1:189.5  learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you will  look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place within
W1:189.5  bony fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you  look out upon a world of mercy and of love.
W1:189.10  ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we  look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no
W1:191.2  what you see? Deny your own Identity, and this is what remains. You  look on chaos and proclaim it as yourself. There is no sight that
W1:191.3  dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and  look on evil, sin, and death. And watch despair snatch from your
W1:191.9 And in that thought is everything you  look on wholly changed.
W1:191.12  is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer.  Look about the world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart
W1:192.6  intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to  look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed
W1:193.15  apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to  look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His message;
W1:193.17  time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to  look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who  look upon the world amiss. The most that they can do is see
W1:198.7  and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you will  look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will
W1:200.3  than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to  look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a
W1:200.7  as he looks on it, the world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to  look on it another way and find the peace of God.
W1:200.10  of hopelessness you sought before. Now are they underfoot. And you  look up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an
W2:I.6  world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by You. We  look not backward now. We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the
W2:I.6  for its replacement given us by You. We look not backward now. We  look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these
W2:223.2  of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would  look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your

W2:260.1  arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would  look upon my brothers and myself today.
W2:262.1 Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would  look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a
W2:263.1  Your Spirit entered into it; Your Love gave life to it. And would I  look upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not
W2:263.2 And while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us  look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let
W2:264.1  place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I  look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own.
W2:265.2 In quiet would I  look upon the world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as
W2:266.1  holy Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ  look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy
W2:266.2  the world with those who point to Him and given us the sight to  look on them?
W2:269.1  which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes and  look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the
W2:269.1  everyone shows me the face of Christ and teaches me that what I  look upon belongs to me, that nothing is except Your holy Son.
W2:269.2 Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we  look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of

W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to  look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to
W2:271.1  witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to  look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice,
W2:271.2  memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would  look upon today.
W2:289.2 Father, let me not  look upon a past that is not there. For You have offered me Your own
W2:290.1 Unless I  look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes

W2:291.1  name, both for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we  look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given
W2:295.2  and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all things that I may  look upon, that His forgiving love may rest on me.
W2:301.2 God's world is happy. Those who  look on it can only add their joy to it and bless it as a cause of

W2:304.1  the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will  look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
W2:309.1  change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To  look within is but to find my will as God created it and as it is. I
W2:309.1  is but to find my will as God created it and as it is. I fear to  look within because I think I made another will which is not true and
W2:312.1  follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what you would  look upon. For vision merely serves to offer you what you would have.
W2:312.1  Holy Spirit's purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to  look upon what Christ would have him see and share Christ's love for
W2:312.2 I have no purpose for today except to  look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have
W2:313.1  wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ  look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for

W2:331.2  shows us that God's Will is one and that we share it. Let us  look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may find
W2:335.1  to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would  look upon, and this I see and only this. My brother's sinlessness
W2:335.1  I see and only this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would  look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my
W2:336.1  the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and  look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. For here and
W2:336.2  wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father,  look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your
W2:WIM.3  is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they  look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His
W2:346.1  aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not  look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and
W2:WAI.3  is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We  look on everyone as brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as

M:11.4 Peace is impossible to those who  look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. How
M:12.6 Oneness and sickness cannot co-exist. God's teachers choose to  look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice. For they have

Tx:11.58  He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of you. He  looks quietly on the real world, which He would share with you
Tx:11.82  God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit  looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is invisible to you

Tx:16.7 The meaning of love is lost in any relationship which  looks to weakness and hopes to find love there. The power of love,

Tx:20.9  gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He  looks upon and loves.
Tx:20.11  For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God  looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been given
Tx:20.13  the savior from illusions, and look on him with the new vision that  looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of
Tx:20.21  The world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego  looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful

Tx:20.76 What has no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always  looks within to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you

Tx:22.3  these selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, he  looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his own reality,
Tx:22.20  can be attained, then the belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason  looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an idea as
Tx:22.30  leads to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of errors. It  looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego damn and
Tx:22.31  gate, locked and without a key, across the road to peace. No one who  looks on it without the help of reason would try to pass it. The
Tx:22.41  open now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who  looks upon the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the
Tx:22.49  solidity, and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it  looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet
Tx:22.55  The form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love,  looks quietly on all confusion, observing merely, “This was a
Tx:23.3  innocence. And every error disappeared because they saw it not. Who  looks for glory finds it where it is. Where could it be but in the
Tx:24.12  in sight all lacks it can perceive. This does it seek, and this it  looks upon. And always whom it thus diminishes would be your savior,
Tx:24.23  to giver and receiver. Not one glance from eyes it veils but  looks on sight of death. Not one believer in its potency but seeks
Tx:24.40 The Christ in you is very still. He  looks on what He loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He

Tx:24.43  sin its eyes behold in him and love to look upon, it saw in you and  looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy to look upon decay and madness
Tx:24.53  for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it  looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice
Tx:24.56  of you. The Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness  looks on his body and beholds him not.
Tx:24.70  you will see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it  looks different. And without a light, it seems that it is gone. Yet
Tx:25.7  and so complete it wishes only that it may release all that it  looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each body that it
Tx:25.7  upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each body that it  looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking
Tx:25.19  him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that  looks on Christ instead of seeing death.
Tx:25.43  no one who is different from himself. And as he loves them, so he  looks upon himself with love and gentleness. He would no more condemn
Tx:25.43  with what God wills, he has the power to heal and bless all those he  looks on with the grace of God upon his sight.
Tx:25.66  who know not of justice still can ask and learn the answer. Justice  looks on all in the same way. It is not just that one should lack for
Tx:25.74  pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the Holy Spirit heeds not who  looks on innocence at last, provided it is seen and recognized. For
Tx:26.2  joining. Around each entity is built a wall so seeming solid that it  looks as if what is inside can never reach without, and what is out
Tx:26.53  to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who  looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only function here
Tx:27.48  and see Christ's face instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who  looks on one cannot perceive the other, for they cannot both be
Tx:27.64  must be innocent. And what I suffer from is your attack.” No one who  looks upon this “reasoning” exactly as it is could fail to see it
Tx:27.64  not follow, and it makes no sense. Yet it seems sensible because it  looks as if the world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there
Tx:27.78  it, and collect more senseless things that it can call its own. It  looks about for special bodies which can share its dream. Sometimes
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the Holy Spirit perceive the cause and  looks not to effects. How else could He correct your error, who have
Tx:30.73  dilemma if he can forgive. The mind must think of its Creator as it  looks upon itself. If you can see your brother merits pardon, you

Tx:31.75  of himself laid by, for nothing stands between his sight and what he  looks upon to judge what he beholds. And in this single vision does
Tx:31.75  this single vision does he see the face of Christ and understands he  looks on everyone as he beholds this One. For there is light where

Tx:31.78  calm and open eyes and what he sees. He brings the light to what he  looks upon, that he may see it as it really is.

Tx:30.87  the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All sacrifice entails the  loss of your ability to see relationships among events. And looked at
Tx:30.87  no purpose. And what they are for cannot be seen. In any thought of  loss, there is no meaning. No one has agreed with you on what it

W1:27.4 If fear of  loss still persists, add further:
W1:38.4  today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any sense of  loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to make as little
W1:41.1  a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of  loss. The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they

W1:53.6  I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and  loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of
W1:54.6  replace fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace  loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my
W1:56.2  who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness,  loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and
W1:58.6  are mine because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any  loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My Father supports
W1:76.10  the truth to you. You will be listening to One Who says there is no  loss under the laws of God. Payment is neither given nor received.
W1:84.2  in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience  loss, and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality
W1:94.5  This is the Self which knows no fear nor could conceive of  loss or suffering or death.
W1:99.5  you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and separation, and on  loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be true—God still is
W1:105.1  the giver loses as he gives the gift; the taker is the richer by his  loss. These are not gifts, but bargains made with guilt.
W1:105.2 The truly given gift entails no  loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another loses. This
W1:105.6  completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give through  loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and
W1:109.3  will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past  loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no
W1:129.2  about the value of this world. Perhaps you will concede there is no  loss in letting go all thought of value here. The world you see is
W1:129.3 Is it a  loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible, where love
W1:129.3  forever, hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it  loss to find all things you really want and know they have no ending,
W1:129.6 Such is the choice. What  loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world
W1:129.10  thanks. This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only  loss.
W1:129.11 Now do we understand there is no  loss, for we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that

W1:155.4  chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of  loss still deeper, which they did not understand.
W1:155.5 Between these paths there is another road that leads away from  loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly
W1:162.5  yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all sense of  loss, and for complete escape from sin and guilt?

Tx:4.27 You forget the  love that animals have for their own offspring and the need they feel

Tx:4.49  with your egos cannot believe that God loves you. You do not  love what you have made, and what you made does not love you. Being
Tx:4.49  you. You do not love what you have made, and what you made does not  love you. Being made out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no
Tx:4.49  own idea of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the  love you feel for what you made because you made it. No human love is

Tx:4.49  love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced  love without ambivalence, the concept is beyond its understanding.

Tx:4.51  Let us ask the Father in my name to keep you mindful of His  love for you and yours for Him. He has never failed to answer this
Tx:4.52  me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I will  love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what you

Tx:5.2  whole-heartedly. To be whole-hearted, you must be happy. If fear and  love cannot coexist and if it is impossible to be wholly fearful and
Tx:5.2  and remain alive, then the only possible whole state is that of  love. There is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the
Tx:5.2  possible whole state is that of love. There is no difference between  love and joy. Therefore, the only possible whole state is the wholly

Tx:6.18 Teach only  love, for that is what you are.
Tx:6.19  reason that makes anyone misunderstand anything. Their own imperfect  love made them vulnerable to projection, and out of their own fear

Tx:6.24 You cannot  love what you do not appreciate, and fear makes appreciation
Tx:6.29  thus strengthening it in both. Instead of anger, this arouses  love for both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality,

Tx:6.41  We said before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only  love, for that is what you are.” This is the one lesson which is
Tx:6.44  is learning. Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach only  love, and learn that love is yours and you are love.

Tx:7.5 I gave only  love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you
Tx:7.6  of what you are and to create like Him is to share the perfect  love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit leads you that your
Tx:7.19  difficulty in miracles, because they are all maximal expressions of  love. This has no range at all. The non-maximal only appears to have
Tx:7.38  Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear.  Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship,
Tx:7.45  Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the
Tx:7.49  an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will never  love. The other shows you only truth, which you will love, because
Tx:7.49  you will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you will  love, because you will understand it. Understanding is appreciation,
Tx:7.49  with, and by making it part of you, you have accepted it with  love.
Tx:7.50  God Himself created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in  love. The ego is totally unable to understand this, because it does
Tx:7.50  understand what it makes; it does not appreciate it; and it does not  love it. It incorporates to take away. It literally believes that
Tx:7.53  everyone and, by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to  love God and His creations. You can appreciate the Sonship only as
Tx:7.54 Although you can  love the Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It
Tx:7.54  not relinquished entirely, it is not relinquished at all. Fear and  love are equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on
Tx:7.54  fearfully. He will appreciate all of them if he regards them with  love.
Tx:7.55 The mind that accepts attack cannot  love. That is because it believes that it can destroy love and
Tx:7.55  attack cannot love. That is because it believes that it can destroy  love and therefore does not understand what love is. If it does not
Tx:7.55  that it can destroy love and therefore does not understand what  love is. If it does not understand what love is, it cannot perceive
Tx:7.55  does not understand what love is. If it does not understand what  love is, it cannot perceive itself as loving. This loses the
Tx:7.57  in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, while the ego does not  love you, it is faithful to its own antecedents, begetting as it was
Tx:7.58  This is its allegiance, and this allegiance makes it treacherous to  love, because you are love. Love is your power, which the ego must

Tx:7.60  said that understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation brings  love. Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else is real,
Tx:7.70  you will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as  love. It is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to
Tx:7.70  as love. It is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to  love it in part. Nor is it possible to love it totally at times. You

Tx:7.76  from Him. Rest in His love and protect your rest by loving. But  love everything He created of which you are a part, or you cannot
Tx:7.80  and you will attack, believing you have been attacked. But see the  love of God in you, and you will see it everywhere, because it is
Tx:7.82  anger, but it is also true that without projection there can be no  love. Projection is a fundamental law of the mind and therefore one

Tx:7.110 You who could give the  love of God to everything you see and touch and remember are

Tx:8.37  you learn that there is no separation of your will and mine. Let the  love of God shine upon you by your acceptance of me. My reality is
Tx:8.45  of God and those which are created like His? Your creations  love you as your Soul loves your Father for the gift of creation.

Tx:8.84  is the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with  love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for
Tx:8.86  to be entirely literal about fear and its effects but not about  love and its results. Thus, “hellfire” means “burning,” but raising

Tx:9.40  the Holy Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with  love on you. His evaluation of you is based on His knowledge of what
Tx:9.40  is the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's, because the ego does not  love you. It is unaware of what you are and wholly mistrustful of
Tx:9.52  of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it out of His  Love. From your grandeur you can only bless, because your grandeur is
Tx:9.55 It is easy to distinguish grandeur from grandiosity because  love is returned, but pride is not. Pride will not produce miracles
Tx:9.61  be like Him. That is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the  love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your will? Nothing can reach
Tx:9.64  that it is as impossible for God. The law of creation is that you  love your creations as yourself because they are part of you.
Tx:9.64  therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His  Love. Any part of your mind that does not know this has banished
Tx:9.74 You have not attacked God, and you do  love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can will to destroy
Tx:9.76  a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer.  Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of love
Tx:9.76  Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of  love therefore brings invulnerability with it.
Tx:9.77  believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the  love of God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part
Tx:9.77  Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created  love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of
Tx:9.79  value in Heaven. It is not my merit that I contribute to you but my  love, for you do not value yourselves. When you do not value
Tx:9.83  them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to fear  love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this fear,
Tx:9.98  Him because you loved Him, knowing that if you recognized your  love for Him, you could not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore
Tx:9.98  you could not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore means that you  love Him and that you know He loves you. Remember that what you deny,
Tx:9.99  His. He calls to you from every part of the Sonship because of His  love for His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and
Tx:9.99  has answered you, and you will learn of Him if you hear aright. The  love of God is in everything He created, for His Son is everywhere.
Tx:9.100 Do not look to the god of sickness for healing but only to the God of  love, for healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge
Tx:9.100  to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you are looking without  love on God and His creation, from which He cannot be separated. Only
Tx:9.100  which He cannot be separated. Only the eternal can be loved, for  love does not die. What is of God is His forever, and you are of God.
Tx:9.102  realize how much you have denied yourself, and how much God in His  love would not have it so. Yet He would not interfere with you,
Tx:9.102  Would you have Him share your insanity? God will never cease to  love His Son, and His Son will never cease to love Him. That was the
Tx:9.102  will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to  love Him. That was the condition of His Son's creation, fixed forever

Tx:10.10  you the joy which is His and which He wills to share with you. Your  love is as boundless as His because it is His.
Tx:10.11 Could any part of God be without His  love and could any part of His love be contained? God is your
Tx:10.11 Could any part of God be without His love and could any part of His  love be contained? God is your heritage because His one gift is
Tx:10.18 And denial is as total as  love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder will
Tx:10.31  lost because you are looking on what God created as yourself without  love. And since what He created is part of Him, you are denying Him
Tx:10.36  you to be unable to enter the place where God would have you be. But  love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your Father love
Tx:10.36  the place where God would have you be. But love yourself with the  love of Christ, for so does your Father love you. You can refuse to
Tx:10.36  But love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your Father  love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door which
Tx:10.37  Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the  love and the loveliness of God, as perfect as his Creator and at
Tx:10.38  Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect  love of the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for
Tx:10.49  is the cost, and the ego cannot minimize it. For if you overlook  love, you are overlooking yourself, and you must fear unreality
Tx:10.52  not accept it. For only the insane would choose fear in place of  love, and only the insane could believe that love can be gained by
Tx:10.52  choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that  love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that only attack
Tx:10.52  But the sane know that only attack could produce fear from which the  love of God completely protects them.
Tx:10.65  hands of God's Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead. The  love of God surrounds His Son, whom the god of the crucifixion
Tx:10.86  the real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To  love yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive part of
Tx:10.86  your own goal. Brother, we heal together as we live together and  love together. Be not deceived in God's Son, for he is one with
Tx:10.86  in God's Son, for he is one with himself and one with his Father.  Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of the
Tx:10.86  him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of the Father's  love for you.
Tx:11.6  thoughts and his appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing  love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your
Tx:11.10  ultimate value to you in learning to perceive attack as a call for  love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are inevitably
Tx:11.10  is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you. For fear is a call for  love in unconscious recognition of what has been denied.
Tx:11.11  for removing it and have demonstrated this by giving it. Fear and  love are the only emotions of which you are capable. One is false,
Tx:11.12  fear becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal  love, which was its only purpose. The mask which you have drawn
Tx:11.12  its only purpose. The mask which you have drawn across the face of  love has disappeared.
Tx:11.13 If you would look upon  love, which is the world's reality, how could you do better than to
Tx:11.13  truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with  love and translate error into truth. And thus will you learn of Him
Tx:11.14 Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. If to  love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not love
Tx:11.14  If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not  love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the love that would
Tx:11.14  are sick do not love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the  love that would heal them but which they are denying to themselves.
Tx:11.16 Perceive in sickness but another call for  love and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer himself.
Tx:11.16  the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the call for  love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer it unto
Tx:11.16  wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his call for  love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ for His
Tx:11.16  Answer his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the  love of Christ for His Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.18  you, for the goal is inevitable because it is eternal. The goal of  love is but your right, and it belongs to you despite your preference.
Tx:11.19  for you must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the way of  love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His Father or
Tx:11.19  your hatred stand in the way of love, for nothing can withstand the  love of Christ for His Father or His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.19  can withstand the love of Christ for His Father or His Father's  love for Him.
Tx:11.21 There is no fear in perfect  love. We will but be making perfect to you what is already perfect in
Tx:11.22 You who have tried to banish  love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear will
Tx:11.28  can be saved and the only way to save it. Any response other than  love arises from a confusion about the “what” and the “how” of
Tx:11.32  loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does  love the real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see
Tx:11.36 The ego is certain that  love is dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. It never
Tx:11.36  that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for  love. Yet the ego, though encouraging the search very actively, makes
Tx:11.37  journey which must end in perceived self-defeat. For the ego cannot  love, and in its frantic search for love, it is seeking what it is
Tx:11.37  self-defeat. For the ego cannot love, and in its frantic search for  love, it is seeking what it is afraid to find. The search is
Tx:11.38  no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him. Being unable to  love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's presence, for it
Tx:11.38  you the response pattern you need. The ego will therefore distort  love and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego
Tx:11.38  you need. The ego will therefore distort love and teach you that  love calls forth the responses which the ego can teach. Follow its
Tx:11.38  ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for  love but will not recognize it.
Tx:11.39  you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the  love of the Father.
Tx:11.43 Only  love is strong because it is undivided. The strong do not attack
Tx:11.46 The Holy Spirit's  love is your strength, for yours is divided and therefore not real.
Tx:11.46  is divided and therefore not real. You could not trust your own  love when you have attacked it. You cannot learn of perfect love with
Tx:11.46  your own love when you have attacked it. You cannot learn of perfect  love with a split mind because a split mind has made itself a poor
Tx:11.48 You do not know the meaning of  love, and that is your handicap. Do not attempt to teach yourselves
Tx:11.50 This kind of “learning” has so weakened your mind that you cannot  love, for the curriculum you have chosen is against love and amounts
Tx:11.50  that you cannot love, for the curriculum you have chosen is against  love and amounts to a course in how to attack yourself. A necessary
Tx:11.55  only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with  love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Its value is
Tx:11.56  Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with  love if you accept His vision as yours.
Tx:11.58  which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's  love for Him. And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. In
Tx:11.58  He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding out the Father's  love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the
Tx:11.59  Christ, for his Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's  love for you is His love for His Father, which He knows because He
Tx:11.59  is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is His  love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's
Tx:11.59  love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's  love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at
Tx:11.59  holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension.  Love transfers to love without any interference, for the situations
Tx:11.59  to holiness is merely its natural extension. Love transfers to  love without any interference, for the situations are identical.
Tx:11.60  has always been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect  love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being in God,
Tx:11.66  find. The ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not find  love, for that is not what it is seeking. Yet seeking and finding are
Tx:11.69 When you want only  love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the
Tx:11.69  decision about reality, returning to you the message you gave them.  Love is recognized by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its
Tx:11.69  you gave them. Love is recognized by its messengers. If you make  love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you invited
Tx:11.70  is only what you gave it. You cannot really give anything but  love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive anything else
Tx:11.77  and yet you are surprised that you cannot see it. If you seek  love in order to attack it, you will never find it. For if love is
Tx:11.77  you seek love in order to attack it, you will never find it. For if  love is sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it
Tx:11.78  the Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. His Father's  love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for
Tx:11.80 Because of your Father's  love you can never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself
Tx:11.83  God did not give you has no power over you, and the attraction of  love for love remains irresistible. For it is the function of love to
Tx:11.83  not give you has no power over you, and the attraction of love for  love remains irresistible. For it is the function of love to unite
Tx:11.83  of love for love remains irresistible. For it is the function of  love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all things together
Tx:11.84  the way back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to  love His Son.
Tx:11.85  of attack. It is the judgment of one mind by another as unworthy of  love and deserving of punishment. But herein lies the split. For the
Tx:11.86  brain, and its powers decline if their bodies are hurt. They seem to  love, yet they desert and are deserted. They appear to lose what they
Tx:11.86  yet they desert and are deserted. They appear to lose what they  love, perhaps the most insane belief of all. And their bodies wither
Tx:11.87  his children to this as the price of salvation and be loving.  Love does not kill to save. If it did, attack would be salvation, and
Tx:11.88  the eternal fact that God's Son is not guilty. He deserves only  love because he has given only love. He cannot be condemned because
Tx:11.88  Son is not guilty. He deserves only love because he has given only  love. He cannot be condemned because he has never condemned. The
Tx:11.89  they know. The Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's  love for His Son, He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he
Tx:11.89  are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered only in peace.  Love and guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the
Tx:11.94  condition of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of  love he was created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy have
Tx:11.94  is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was created, and in  love he abides. Goodness and mercy have always followed him, for he
Tx:11.94  and mercy have always followed him, for he has always extended the  love of his Father.
Tx:12.9  understanding lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of  love without fear. There will be great joy in Heaven on your
Tx:12.12 Your fear of attack is nothing compared to your fear of  love. You would be willing to look even upon your savage wish to kill
Tx:12.12  wish to kill God's Son if you did not believe that it saves you from  love. For this wish caused the separation. You have protected it
Tx:12.12  you realize that, by removing the dark cloud that obscures it, your  love for your Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into
Tx:12.12  and much stronger than it will ever be, is your intense and burning  love of God, and His for you. This is what you really want to hide.
Tx:12.13  it not harder for you to say “I love” than “I hate”? You associate  love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real power
Tx:12.13  For you could not control your joyous response to the call of  love if you heard it, and the whole world you think you control would
Tx:12.14  be helpless in God's Presence, and you would save yourself from His  love because you think it would crush you into nothingness. You are
Tx:12.14  which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to cover your  love, and the deeper you go into the blackness of the ego's
Tx:12.14  the blackness of the ego's foundation, the closer you come to the  love that is hidden there. And it is this that frightens you.
Tx:12.15 You can accept insanity because you made it, but you cannot accept  love because you did not. You would rather be slaves of the
Tx:12.15  as what you made. You are more afraid of God than of the ego, and  love cannot enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it
Tx:12.18  which you hold so dear, is your real call for help. For you call for  love to your Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In that
Tx:12.18  no illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he is. Only his  love is real, and he will be content only with his reality.
Tx:12.19  of your Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your  love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy
Tx:12.19  exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total  love, you will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete
Tx:12.19  not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear, for  love cannot enter where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome.
Tx:12.21  everything and found nothing. For how could the gentleness of  love respond to his demands except by departing in peace and
Tx:12.22  see them as insane. But seek this place, and you will find it, for  love is in you and will lead you there.
Tx:12.23  afraid of this course should be apparent. For this is a course on  love because it is about you. You have been told that your function
Tx:12.33 We have said that you have but two emotions,  love and fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged, being
Tx:12.37  world you react to each of them as though it were the other. For  love cannot abide in a world apart, where when it comes it is not
Tx:12.37  he loves and recoils from what he fears. And you react with fear to  love and draw away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it
Tx:12.37  and draw away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is  love, you call it to yourself. Your private world is filled with the
Tx:12.37  with the figures of fear you have invited into it, and all the  love your brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open
Tx:12.40  in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will  love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to
Tx:12.42  Who looks on all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as His from  love. And He sees for you as your witness to the real world. He is
Tx:12.43  you will see as you look with Him, for His vision is His gift of  love to you, given Him of the Father for you.
Tx:12.44  Him. In the sanity of His vision, they looked upon themselves with  love, seeing themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this
Tx:12.54  you see in light brings your light closer to your own awareness.  Love always leads to love. The sick who ask for love are grateful for
Tx:12.54  brings your light closer to your own awareness. Love always leads to  love. The sick who ask for love are grateful for it, and in their
Tx:12.54  your own awareness. Love always leads to love. The sick who ask for  love are grateful for it, and in their joy, they shine with holy
Tx:12.55  aside the world and find another. This other world is bright with  love, which you have given it. And here will everything remind you of
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of  love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in
Tx:12.56  willingly, and willingness is signified by giving. Those who accept  love of you become your willing witnesses to the love you gave them,
Tx:12.56  Those who accept love of you become your willing witnesses to the  love you gave them, and it is they who hold it out to you. In sleep
Tx:12.57 And yet the laws of  love are not suspended because you sleep. And you have followed them
Tx:12.62 Yet the real world has the power to touch you even here because you  love it. And what you call with love will come to you. Love always
Tx:12.62  to touch you even here because you love it. And what you call with  love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a
Tx:12.62  because you love it. And what you call with love will come to you.  Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help or not to
Tx:12.63  the past behind and enter into the world He holds out to you in  love.
Tx:12.64  that he loves what he loves not and following not the road that  love points out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you
Tx:12.64  what he loves not and following not the road that love points out.  Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you will rejoice that
Tx:12.65  Who watches over him in everything. The world about him shines with  love because God placed him in Himself where pain is not and love
Tx:12.65  with love because God placed him in Himself where pain is not and  love surrounds him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can
Tx:12.65  Disturbance of his peace can never be. In perfect sanity he looks on  love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny the world
Tx:12.65  He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of  love around him. And from this point of safety, he looks quietly
Tx:12.66  it now. God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's  love forever. The real world is the way that leads you to remembrance
Tx:12.67  what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of  love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit
Tx:12.67  all perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of  love lead unto knowledge. In them you see nothing fearful, and
Tx:12.67  and because of this, they are the welcome that you offer knowledge.  Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real world is but your
Tx:13.4  in time, and that is why Christ's vision looks on everything with  love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His reality. The golden aspects
Tx:13.15  in one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead of  love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for punishment upon
Tx:13.19  you and learn that what you feared was there has been replaced with  love.
Tx:13.22  they will not look within and let it go. They cannot know they  love and cannot understand what loving is. Their main concern is to
Tx:13.28  have been unmerciful unto yourselves do not remember your Father's  Love. And looking without mercy upon your brothers, you do not
Tx:13.28  without mercy upon your brothers, you do not remember how much you  love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining peace within you is the
Tx:13.29  released. There is no other way to look within and see the light of  love shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always
Tx:13.29  always loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in  love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father
Tx:13.29  His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for  love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father can have no
Tx:13.30  enter into real relationships with any of God's Sons unless you  love them all and equally. Love is not special. If you single out
Tx:13.30  with any of God's Sons unless you love them all and equally.  Love is not special. If you single out part of the Sonship for your
Tx:13.30  Love is not special. If you single out part of the Sonship for your  love, you are imposing guilt on all your relationships and making
Tx:13.30  guilt on all your relationships and making them unreal. You can  love only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no
Tx:13.30  and making them unreal. You can love only as God loves. Seek not to  love unlike Him, for there is no love apart from His. Until you
Tx:13.30  love only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no  love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will
Tx:13.30  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 as
Tx:13.32  loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him together and  love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon
Tx:13.32  within you. Let us look upon him together and love him. For in our  love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon yourself, and
Tx:13.33  my belief are centered on what I treasure. The difference is that I  love only what God loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you
Tx:13.33  on yourselves, even unto the worth that God has placed upon you. I  love all that He created, and all my faith and my belief I offer unto
Tx:13.33  and my belief I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the  love I give my Father. My trust in you is without limit and without
Tx:13.34  blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and  love Him perfectly?
Tx:13.51  And it is these, and not the truth, that he has chosen to defend and  love. They will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by
Tx:13.58  will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will  love it because you will understand it.
Tx:13.66  therefore to yourself gently, but with the conviction born of the  love of God and of His Son,
Tx:13.70  is another opportunity to replace darkness with light and fear with  love. If he refuses it, he binds himself to darkness because he did
Tx:13.79  Madness may be your choice, but not your reality. Never forget the  love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite impossible that
Tx:13.80  which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His  love and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For
Tx:13.81 How gracious is it to decide all things through Him Whose equal  love is given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside
Tx:13.81  and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with  love for everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And
Tx:13.90  be anyone without His Holiness nor anyone unworthy of His perfect  Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place made
Tx:13.90  you His blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His  Love, God will Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:13.91  loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of  love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which cheats you of
Tx:13.91  joy of living with your God and Father, and awaking gladly to His  love and holiness, which join together as the truth in you, making
Tx:14.5  Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant message of God's  Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you? God
Tx:14.6  but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the  love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you
Tx:14.12  guilt alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of  love and union. Stand quietly within this circle and attract all
Tx:14.14  gentleness, He would release from fear and reestablish the reign of  love. The power of love is in His gentleness, which is of God and
Tx:14.14  release from fear and reestablish the reign of love. The power of  love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore cannot
Tx:14.17  hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to  love if it is brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no
Tx:14.17  is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought to  love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love
Tx:14.17  to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of  love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence.
Tx:14.17  it is concealed from love's beneficence. What is kept apart from  love cannot share its healing power, because it has been separated
Tx:14.18  be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the light of  love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in light.
Tx:14.21  effort to communicate through not communicating holds enough of  love to make it meaningful if its interpreter is not its maker. You
Tx:14.28  will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and  love does not attack fear. What needs no protection does not defend
Tx:14.31  have you have. Behold your will, accepting it as His, with all His  love as yours. All honor to you through Him, and through Him unto God.
Tx:14.34  with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted  love flows constantly between the Father and the Son, as both would
Tx:14.41 In the temple Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that  love it. The Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace.
Tx:14.41  sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's  Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of living. For
Tx:14.52  all is the Holy Spirit's one division into two categories—one of  love and the other the call for love. You cannot safely make this
Tx:14.52  into two categories—one of love and the other the call for  love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are much too
Tx:14.52  this division, for you are much too confused either to recognize  love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a need for
Tx:14.52  love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a need for  love. You are too bound to form and not to content. What you consider
Tx:14.55  give only the answer with which He answers you. Everyone seeks for  love as you do and knows it not unless he joins with you in seeking
Tx:14.56  Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his  love and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than
Tx:14.56  Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for  love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of
Tx:14.57 The miracle is the recognition that this is true. Where there is  love, your brother must give it to you because of what it is. But
Tx:14.57  give it to you because of what it is. But where there is need for  love, you must give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this
Tx:14.57  His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the  love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His love be absent
Tx:14.57  with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His  love be absent from any miracle you offer to His Son. How, then, can
Tx:15.14  it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect  love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to
Tx:15.24  the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to  love it when you realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to
Tx:15.30  born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. You know not what  love means because you have sought to purchase it with little gifts,
Tx:15.30  thus valuing it too little to be able to understand its magnitude.  Love is not little, and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him.

Tx:15.45  would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego all would be  love.

Tx:15.50  offered to the Holy Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for  love. If you would attempt to substitute one aspect of love for
Tx:15.50  for love. If you would attempt to substitute one aspect of  love for another, you have placed less value on one and more on the
Tx:15.50  them as they were not. Unless you had seen yourself as without  love, you could not have judged them so like you in lack.
Tx:15.53  only here. For in the holy instant, free of the past, you see that  love is in you, and you have no need to look without and snatch it
Tx:15.54  And united in your blessing, it becomes one to you. The meaning of  love is the meaning God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from

Tx:15.60  lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity,  love has no meaning, and peace is impossible. For gain and loss are
Tx:15.60  gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is aware that perfect  love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the idea of love

Tx:15.62  drawn irresistibly into the light behind it can have faith in  love without fear. Yet the Holy Spirit gives you this faith because
Tx:15.65 Beyond the poor attraction of the special  love relationship and always obscured by it is the powerful
Tx:15.65  the powerful attraction of the Father for His Son. There is no other  love that can satisfy you, because there is no other love. This is

Tx:15.65  can satisfy you, because there is no other love. This is the only  love that is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks
Tx:15.66  no one recognizes it. For the ego always seems to attract through  love and has no attraction at all to anyone who perceives that it
Tx:15.70  sees it and recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as  love. Yet to make guilty is direct attack but does not seem to be.

Tx:15.71  He is not in love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in  love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of
Tx:15.74  many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that  love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and
Tx:15.74  that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be  love and must be anger. All anger is nothing more than an attempt to
Tx:15.81  to yourselves. Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's  love. He will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail.
Tx:15.81  it calls to everyone to escape from loneliness and join you in your  love. And where you are must everyone seek and find you there.
Tx:15.88  unto creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given you.  Love would always give increase. Limits are demanded by the ego,
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the  love of God for you and the need your creations have to be with you
Tx:15.90  your power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from  love. What you invest in guilt, you withdraw from God. And your sight
Tx:15.95  the ego takes many forms, it is always the same idea. What is not  love is always fear and nothing else. It is not necessary to follow
Tx:15.96  from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and  love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without
Tx:15.96  of sacrifice and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of  love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon—
Tx:15.96  And it is this that you must look upon—sacrifice is attack, not  love. If you would accept but this one idea, your fear of love would
Tx:15.96  not love. If you would accept but this one idea, your fear of  love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of sacrifice has
Tx:15.98  as but a cover for the one idea that hides behind them all—that  love demands sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from attack and
Tx:15.98  inseparable from attack and fear. And that guilt is the price of  love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful, then, has God become
Tx:15.98  has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you believe His  love demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the
Tx:15.98  and how great a sacrifice do you believe His love demands! For total  love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand
Tx:15.98  to be feared a little, but the other to be destroyed. For you see  love as destructive, and your only question is who is to be
Tx:15.98  completely. And this you think saves you from God, Whose total  love would completely destroy you.
Tx:15.102  One, and no thought alien to His Oneness can abide with Him there.  Love must be total to give Him welcome, for the Presence of Holiness
Tx:15.103  without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without sacrifice, there  love must be.
Tx:15.104 You who believe that sacrifice is  love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice
Tx:15.104  that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from  love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace.
Tx:15.104  is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as  love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is
Tx:15.105  the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes  love.
Tx:15.106 So is it that in all your seeking for  love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It
Tx:15.106  for love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not  love. It is impossible to deny what love is and still recognize it.
Tx:15.106  and find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to deny what  love is and still recognize it. The meaning of love lies in what you
Tx:15.106  to deny what love is and still recognize it. The meaning of  love lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no
Tx:15.107 In the holy instant, the condition of  love is met, for minds are joined without the body's interference,
Tx:15.107  peace. The Prince of Peace was born to reestablish the condition of  love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the
Tx:15.108  would teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and  love is everywhere. For communication embraces everything, and in the
Tx:15.108  embraces everything, and in the peace it re-establishes,  love comes of itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for
Tx:15.108  by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you offer me the  love I offer you. What can be more joyous than to perceive we are
Tx:16.7 The meaning of  love is lost in any relationship which looks to weakness and hopes to

Tx:16.17  you not look with greater charity on whom God loves with perfect  love?
Tx:16.18 Do not interpret against God's  Love, for you have many witnesses which speak of it so clearly that

Tx:16.19  There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. For  love asks only that you be happy and will give you everything that
Tx:16.27  honor Him. And you will learn His power and strength and purity, and  love Him as His Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end,
Tx:16.30  in looking at it. It would be impossible not to know the meaning of  love except for this. For the special love relationship, in which the

Tx:16.30  for this. For the special love relationship, in which the meaning of  love is lost, is undertaken solely to offset the hate but not to let
Tx:16.30  open eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special  love relationship will not offset it but will merely drive it

Tx:16.31 The symbols of hate against the symbols of  love play out a conflict which does not exist. For symbols stand for
Tx:16.31  not exist. For symbols stand for something else, and the symbol of  love is without meaning if love is everything. You will go through
Tx:16.31  for something else, and the symbol of love is without meaning if  love is everything. You will go through this last undoing quite
Tx:16.31  safety, translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of  love will never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the
Tx:16.32 The special  love relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive effects of
Tx:16.32  to build barricades against it and keep within them. The special  love relationship is not perceived as a value in itself, but as a

Tx:16.32  the relationship, but it is still held together by the illusion of  love. If the illusion goes, the relationship is broken or becomes
Tx:16.33  Love is not an illusion. It is a fact. Where disillusionment is
Tx:16.33  It is a fact. Where disillusionment is possible, there was not  love but hate. For hate is an illusion, and what can change was never
Tx:16.33  but hate. For hate is an illusion, and what can change was never  love. It is certain that those who select certain ones as partners in
Tx:16.33  with guilt rather than die of it. This is the choice they see. And  love to them is only an escape from death. They seek it desperately
Tx:16.33  them. And when they find the fear of death is still upon them, the  love relationship loses the illusion that it is what it is not. For
Tx:16.34 There are no triumphs of  love. Only hate is concerned with the “triumph of love” at all. The
Tx:16.34  hate is concerned with the “triumph of love” at all. The illusion of  love can triumph over the illusion of hate, but always at the price
Tx:16.34  illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will  love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which remains
Tx:16.35 Your task is not to seek for  love but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself
Tx:16.35  to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek  love outside yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred
Tx:16.35  and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the illusion of  love, but only from its reality.
Tx:16.36  recognized if it is to be distinguished from illusion: The special  love relationship is an attempt [to bring love into separation. And,

Tx:16.36  in fear. In fundamental violation of love's condition, the special  love relationship would accomplish the impossible. How but in
Tx:16.37  own completion, and it is they who render you complete. The special  love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you whole
Tx:16.39  thus denies the wholeness of your Father. Every fantasy, be it of  love or hate, deprives you of knowledge, for fantasies are the veil
Tx:16.40 Would you not go through fear to  love? For such the journey seems to be. Love calls, but hate would

Tx:16.42  safe forever because you are complete forever. There is no veil the  love of God in us together cannot lift. The way to truth is open.
Tx:16.44  the Sonship open to attack and unprotected from it. The special  love relationship is the ego's chief weapon for keeping you from
Tx:16.44  you value it and why, you will realize what it must be. The special  love relationship is the ego's most boasted gift, and one which has
Tx:16.44  to be acceptable and even natural. No one considers it bizarre to  love and hate together, and even those who believe that hate is sin
Tx:16.45  exactly opposite of what is true. In Heaven, where the meaning of  love is known, love is the same as union. Here, where the illusion of
Tx:16.45  of what is true. In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known,  love is the same as union. Here, where the illusion of love is
Tx:16.45  is known, love is the same as union. Here, where the illusion of  love is accepted in love's place, love is perceived as separation and
Tx:16.45  union. Here, where the illusion of love is accepted in love's place,  love is perceived as separation and exclusion.
Tx:16.46  is in the special relationship, born of the hidden wish for special  love from God, that the ego's hatred triumphs. For the special
Tx:16.46  triumphs. For the special relationship is the renunciation of the  love of God and the attempt to secure for the self the specialness
Tx:16.51  and the perception of the giving of specialness as an act of  love would make love hateful. And the real purpose of the special

Tx:16.54  special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual, remember  love is content and not form of any kind. The special relationship is
Tx:16.54  in His killer as the sign that form has triumphed over content and  love has lost its meaning. Would you want this to be possible, even
Tx:16.59  has special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives all  love as special. Yet this cannot be natural, for it is unlike the
Tx:16.59  that are unlike this one must be unnatural. For God created  love as He would have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no meaning
Tx:16.59  For God created love as He would have it be and gave it as it is.  Love has no meaning except as its Creator defined it by His Will. It
Tx:16.60  Love is freedom. To look for it by placing yourself in bondage is to
Tx:16.60  placing yourself in bondage is to separate yourself from it. For the  love of God, no longer seek for union in separation nor for freedom
Tx:16.60  As you release, so will you be released. Forget this not, or  love will be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in
Tx:16.65  than despair in this: You could no longer find even the illusion of  love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer wholly
Tx:16.66  your minds, and because you invited it, it will abide with you. Your  love for it will not allow you to betray yourself, and you could not
Tx:16.68  to take its rightful place within it. Wait no longer, for the  love of God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the way,

Tx:17.36  must now be undertaken to keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the  love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of His eternal Spirit
Tx:17.36  attack Them, being part of Them, and They must save you, for They  love Themselves.
Tx:18.3 The one emotion in which substitution is impossible is  love. Fear involves substitution by definition, for it is love's

Tx:18.26  give you confidence in yourselves, so long despised. You go toward  love, still hating it and terribly afraid of its judgment upon you.
Tx:18.26  judgment upon you. And you do not realize that you are not afraid of  love, but only of what you have made of it. You are advancing to
Tx:18.30  You have gone past fear, for no two minds can join in the desire for  love without love's joining them.
Tx:18.38  And it is only fear that you will add if you prepare yourself for  love. The preparation for the holy instant belongs to Him Who gives
Tx:18.45 It is no dream to  love your brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream.

Tx:18.79  way and wander in the dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by  love for them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome will

Tx:18.79  holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The  love they brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with
Tx:18.80  the desert, leaving no lonely little kingdoms locked away from  love and leaving you inside. And you will recognize yourself and see

Tx:18.81  which you tried to hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. No part of  love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His
Tx:18.82 Be sure of this— love has entered your special relationship and entered fully at your
Tx:18.82  and entered fully at your weak request. You do not recognize that  love has come because you have not yet let go of all the barriers you
Tx:18.82  you hold against each other. And you will not be able to give  love welcome separately. You could no more know God alone than He

Tx:19.49  does not exist. Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that  love looks on itself. And each has messengers which they send forth
Tx:19.50 Love's messengers are gently sent and return with messages of  love and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to
Tx:19.50  different things in different languages. What fear would feed upon,  love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot even see.

Tx:19.54  His messengers to send to each other and return to each with what  love sees. They have been given to replace the hungry dogs of fear
Tx:19.55  Love, too, would set a feast before you on a table covered with a

Tx:19.66 From your holy relationship truth proclaims the truth, and  love looks on itself. Salvation flows from deep within the home you
Tx:19.84  conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming  love for death that peace must flow across seems to be very great.
Tx:19.86  God, is very near. The infancy of salvation is carefully guarded by  love, preserved from every thought that would attack it and quietly
Tx:19.91  face rises beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's  Love, peace will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and
Tx:19.91  Christ Himself like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's  love which light His face with glory appear as streams of blood,
Tx:19.94  in just the same way; the fear that raised it yields to the  love beneath, and so the fear is gone. And so it is with this. The
Tx:19.94  from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition that you  love Him. The exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the
Tx:19.94  exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you  love as you could never love the body. And the appeal of death is
Tx:19.94  given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never  love the body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's
Tx:19.94  stirs and calls to you. From beyond each of the obstacles to  love, Love Itself has called, and each has been surmounted by the

Tx:20.12  freed from all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no fear in  love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was never
Tx:20.15  that gave it to each other shall both of you be led past fear to  love.

Tx:20.38  let them beat as one. And in that single heart beat is the unity of  love proclaimed and given welcome. Peace to your holy relationship,
Tx:20.40  will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will merely  love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him, for who would
Tx:20.43  will you see it, and through His understanding recognize it and  love it as your own.
Tx:20.44 Be comforted and feel the Holy Spirit watching over you in  love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the Son of God
Tx:20.46  of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The first is based on  love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The body does not

Tx:20.46  in which the body enters is based not on love, but on idolatry.  Love wishes to be known, completely understood, and shared. It has no
Tx:20.47 Idols accept, but never make return. They can be loved, but cannot  love. They do not understand what they are offered, and any
Tx:20.48  Love has no darkened temples where mysteries are kept obscure and
Tx:20.49  holding them here in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here  love cannot enter. The Holy Spirit does not build His temples where
Tx:20.49  love cannot enter. The Holy Spirit does not build His temples where  love can never be. Would He Who sees the face of Christ choose as His
Tx:20.50  the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of  love. It is the home of the idolater and of love's condemnation. For
Tx:20.50  is the home of the idolater and of love's condemnation. For here is  love made fearful and hope abandoned. Even the idols that are
Tx:20.51 Idolaters will always be afraid of  love, for nothing so severely threatens them as love's approach. Let
Tx:20.51  love, for nothing so severely threatens them as love's approach. Let  love draw near them and overlook the body, as it will surely do, and
Tx:20.54  forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by truth, and  love shines on it with the gentle smile and tender blessing it offers
Tx:20.55  Yet it is also here he makes his choice again between idolatry and  love.

Tx:21.65 Reason, like  love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The power to

Tx:21.67  indeed of this. This gracious plan was given love by Love. And what  Love plans is like Itself in this: being united, It would have you
Tx:21.70  identify with him. And you are for him or against him; either you  love him or attack him, protect his unity or see him shattered and
Tx:21.72  spear, a child becomes a giant, and a mouse roars like a lion. And  love is turned to hate as easily. This is no army, but a madhouse.
Tx:21.87  no exceptions—no change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the  love of God for His creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in
Tx:22.8  thoughts, and of the body. This is the one emotion that opposes  love and always leads to sight of differences and loss of sameness.
Tx:22.14  fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where fear is powerless,  love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one with you who joined
Tx:22.40  you even here before the veil. Think what will happen after! The  love of Christ will light your faces and shine from them into a
Tx:22.43 To all who share the  love of God, the grace is given to be the givers of what they have
Tx:22.47  Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep  love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and wholly
Tx:22.47  no weakness enter, for here is no attack and therefore no illusions.  Love rests in certainty. Only uncertainty can be defensive. And all
Tx:22.48  How insignificant before the quiet strength of those whom  love has joined! This is your “enemy”—a frightened mouse that would
Tx:22.52  patience, as certain of the outcome as He is sure of His Creator's  love. He knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to His
Tx:22.52  He knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to His Creator as  love is to itself.
Tx:22.55  no sin. The form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with  love, looks quietly on all confusion, observing merely, “This was a
Tx:22.55  The means of sinlessness can know no fear because they carry only  love with them.
Tx:22.56  Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His means must  love all that He loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of
Tx:22.59  it all the power that God has given Him to make each little gift of  love a source of healing for everyone. Each little gift you offer to
Tx:22.62  to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if  love could attack and become fearful.
Tx:22.64  they are the same. Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of  love extends its being and creates more of itself. There is no
Tx:22.65  cannot fear alone when your relationship can also teach the power of  love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to
Tx:23.2  as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will  love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels
Tx:23.2  as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way  love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from
Tx:23.2  in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love shows him. For  love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he will see
Tx:23.3  their innocence, released from sin and fear, and happily returned to  love. They share the strength of love because they looked on
Tx:23.3  and fear, and happily returned to love. They share the strength of  love because they looked on innocence. And every error disappeared
Tx:23.7  not the means of peace, and what the warlike would remember is not  love. War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished.
Tx:23.8  And fear will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced  love there. This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who think
Tx:23.14  whenever you look on anything that God created with anything but  love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is
Tx:23.16  and peace and dwells with him. Illusions have no place where  love abides, protecting you from everything that is not true. You
Tx:23.18  is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where  love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace are
Tx:23.30  of chaos comes to the rescue. It holds there is a substitute for  love. This is the “magic” that will cure all of your pain; the
Tx:23.30  ingredient which would give meaning to your life. The substitute for  love, born of your enmity to one another, must be salvation. It has
Tx:23.31  upon both, for in His madness He must have this substitute for  love and kill you both. You who believe you walk in sanity, with feet
Tx:23.32  with madness sanity, illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred  love and murder benediction, is the goal the laws of chaos serve.
Tx:23.32  of God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to hold  love captive and let sin go free.
Tx:23.33  eyes, blinded and terrible to look upon, is lifted to the throne of  love, its dying conqueror, its substitute, the savior from salvation.
Tx:23.35  some forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be  love? What form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior
Tx:23.38  beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And lack of faith in  love in any form attests to chaos as reality.
Tx:23.43  salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little,  love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little
Tx:23.44  be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to attack for this and  love for that and understand forgiveness. Would you not want to
Tx:23.47  same intent. And it is this you fear and not the form. What is not  love is murder. What is not loving must be an attack. Every illusion
Tx:23.47  is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the idea of  love because it seems to be of equal truth.
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
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your relationship is like the  love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His Son,
Tx:23.54  nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they  love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is
Tx:23.54  is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and only  love shines upon them forever. It is their past, their present, and
Tx:23.54  Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness and a sense of  love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your
Tx:23.55  is there that offers less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the  love of God upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder
Tx:24.3  Love is extension. To withhold the smallest gift is not to know
Tx:24.3  To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose.  Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one
Tx:24.3  everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering, and  love is gone because you asked a substitute to take its place. And
Tx:24.3  for peace, come with the one alternative that you can choose for  love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it seems to have.
Tx:24.4  enemies of peace, your least decision to choose attack instead of  love, unrecognized and swift to challenge you to combat and to
Tx:24.8  And he must never reach them, or your goal is jeopardized. Can  love have meaning where the goal is triumph? And what decision can be
Tx:24.8  you. There is no difference. You have been given to each other that  love might be extended, not cut off from one another. What you keep
Tx:24.11  For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You  love your brother not while it is this you would defend against him.
Tx:24.12 Comparison must be an ego device, for  love makes none. Specialness always makes comparisons. It is
Tx:24.14  in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they  love the Oneness Which created them as one with Him. They chose their
Tx:24.15  you are, is all you listen to. And that vast song of honor and of  love for what you are seems silent and unheard before its
Tx:24.16  are different and apart—each in his special sins and “safe” from  love, which does not see his specialness at all. Christ's vision is
Tx:24.17  no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the  love of God forever?
Tx:24.20  one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in  love. Your brother's specialness and yours are enemies and bound in
Tx:24.22  what he has, remembering God gave Himself to both of you in equal  love that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love
Tx:24.22  love that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that  love could never be divided and kept separate from what it is and
Tx:24.22  from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's; part of  love was not denied to him. But can it be that you have lost because
Tx:24.22  What has been given him makes you complete, as it does him. God's  love gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is
Tx:24.23 Specialness is the seal of treachery upon the gift of  love. Whatever serves its purpose must be given to kill. No gift that
Tx:24.23  weapon and the great defender of all illusions from the “threat” of  love.
Tx:24.30  for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the death of  love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon illusions.
Tx:24.31 Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of  love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your
Tx:24.31  chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to  love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the
Tx:24.33  them not. They ask of you but that your will be done. They seek your  love that you may love yourself. Love not your specialness instead of
Tx:24.33  of you but that your will be done. They seek your love that you may  love yourself. Love not your specialness instead of them. The print
Tx:24.33  your will be done. They seek your love that you may love yourself.  Love not your specialness instead of them. The print of nails are on
Tx:24.40  create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does  love extend itself, except that one deludes; the other heals.
Tx:24.43  hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and  love to look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is
Tx:24.45  and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the way. His  love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within
Tx:24.45  is like yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and  love and follow home? He looked upon you first but recognized that
Tx:24.45  beholds and loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer you the  love of God.
Tx:24.46 Yet is He quiet, for He knows that  love is in you now and safely held in you by that same hand that
Tx:24.47  would be content with specialness and seek salvation in a war with  love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down to
Tx:24.51  His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you share His  love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of
Tx:24.58  under the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great the  love of God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to
Tx:24.58  before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal  love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your brother truly. Would
Tx:24.62  made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on whom such  love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that takes
Tx:24.63  given specialness belongs to him and thus returns to you. All of the  love and care, the strong protection, the thought by day and night,
Tx:24.71  creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His  love and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the idea
Tx:25.3  To those who know Him not, it carries Him in gentleness and  love to heal their minds. Such is the mission that your brother has
Tx:25.4  Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting  Love.
Tx:25.7  Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in  love celestial and so complete it wishes only that it may release all
Tx:25.20  His masterpiece? What could He do but offer thanks to you who  love His Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His love if
Tx:25.20  you who love His Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His  love if you but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes
Tx:25.22  may see as one what never has been separate nor apart from all God's  love as given equally.
Tx:25.23  perception's form adapted to this world of God's more basic law that  love creates itself and nothing but itself.
Tx:25.28  means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his  love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are
Tx:25.35 Would you not do this for the  love of God? And for yourself? For think what it would do for you.
Tx:25.42  the power to save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the  love he shows himself is God made free to let His Will be done. In
Tx:25.42  of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand His  love for you; through your attack believe He hates you, thinking
Tx:25.43  from himself. And as he loves them, so he looks upon himself with  love and gentleness. He would no more condemn himself for his
Tx:25.48  sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his special  love.
Tx:25.50  a request for death, a wish to make this world's foundation sure as  love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world
Tx:25.50  as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world is safe from  love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is
Tx:25.55  one demand is worthy of your faith. But nothing else. What is not  love is sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and
Tx:25.55  sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless.  Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who
Tx:25.55  is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the sight of  love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and rest
Tx:25.59 What is dependable except God's  Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who speaks
Tx:25.65  insanity. Yet how could justice be defined without insanity where  love means hate and death is seen as victory and triumph over
Tx:25.68  angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of  love. And deep suspicion and the chill of fear comes over them when
Tx:25.68  and to their world than vengeance, which they understand and  love.
Tx:25.70  they are not fair and cannot understand that they are innocent.  Love is not understandable to sinners because they think that justice
Tx:25.70  to sinners because they think that justice is split off from  love and stands for something else.
Tx:25.71 And thus is  love perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For love has lost when
Tx:25.71 And thus is love perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For  love has lost when judgment left its side and is too weak to save
Tx:25.71  side and is too weak to save from punishment. But vengeance without  love has gained in strength by being separate and apart from love.
Tx:25.71  without love has gained in strength by being separate and apart from  love. And what but vengeance now can help and save, while love stands
Tx:25.71  apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and save, while  love stands feebly by with helpless hands, bereft of justice and
Tx:25.71  bereft of justice and vitality and powerless to save? What can  Love ask of you who think that all of this is true? Could He, in
Tx:25.71  you who think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in  love believe in your confusion you have much to give? You are not
Tx:25.72  as His Son receives what loving justice knows to be his due. For  love and justice are not different. Because they are the same does
Tx:25.74  the Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to  love and there be satisfied. Each special function He allots is but
Tx:25.74  function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that  love and justice are not separate. And both are strengthened by their
Tx:25.74  And both are strengthened by their union with each other. Without  love is justice prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is
Tx:25.74  with each other. Without love is justice prejudiced and weak. And  love without justice is impossible. For love is fair and cannot
Tx:25.74  prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is impossible. For  love is fair and cannot chasten without cause. What cause can be to
Tx:25.74  can be to warrant an attack upon the innocent? In justice then does  love correct mistakes, but not in vengeance. For that would be unjust
Tx:25.75 You can be perfect witness to the power of  love and justice if you understand it is impossible the Son of God
Tx:25.77  it cannot replace God's justice with a version of its own. For only  love is just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of
Tx:25.77  just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let  love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive
Tx:26.4  He is invisible in such a world. Nor can his song of union and of  love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede
Tx:26.16  into a universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its place the  love of God can be remembered and will shine away all memory of
Tx:26.17  function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His  love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is
Tx:26.17  offer or receive less than He gave when He created you in perfect  love.
Tx:26.25  gate behind which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless  love could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world
Tx:26.27  of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could fear  love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for
Tx:26.27  heart of all creation? What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and  love and praise by everything created to the Source of its creation?
Tx:26.28  is cherished more than any other. Each reminds him of His Father's  love as surely as the rest. And each one teaches him that what he
Tx:26.28  but a miracle could change his mind, so that he understands that  love cannot be feared? What other miracle is there but this? And what
Tx:26.29  will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the  love of God!
Tx:26.39  an instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's perfect  Love. And how can he be kept in chains long since removed and gone
Tx:26.42  relive the single instant when the time of terror was replaced by  love. And so you die each day to live again until you cross the gap
Tx:26.43  which perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of  love.
Tx:26.52  proclaiming sin has taken His reality from Him, and brought His  love at last to vengeance's heels. For such an insane picture, an
Tx:26.64  attack deprived of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of  love. To you to whom it has been given to save the Son of God from
Tx:26.80  nothingness when They have come. What hatred claimed is given up to  love, and freedom lights up every living thing and lifts it into
Tx:26.82  the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present  love. And They come quickly to the living temple, where a home for
Tx:26.82  be Their resting-place as well as yours. What hatred has released to  love becomes the brightest light in Heaven's radiance. And all the

Tx:27.13  no grounds for peace. Who has been injured by his brother and could  love and trust him still? He has attacked and will attack again.

Tx:29.2 Here is the fear of God most plainly seen. For  love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can never

W1:50.3  This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the  Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without

W1:55.3  It is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the  love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this

W1:67.7  even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that  Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this.

W1:68.1 You who were created by  Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a

W1:103.1  Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in  love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of joy.
W1:103.2 This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining  love as limited and introducing opposition in what has no limit and
W1:103.2  in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is associated then with  love, and its results become the heritage of minds that think what

W1:127.1 Perhaps you think that different kinds of  love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for
W1:127.1  kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of  love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of
W1:127.1  for that; a way of loving one, another way of loving still another.  Love is one. It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor
W1:127.2 Love's meaning is obscure to anyone who thinks that  love can change. He does not see that changing love must be

W1:127.2  changing love must be impossible. And thus he thinks that he can  love at times and hate at other times. He also thinks that love can

W1:127.2  although it is withheld from others. To believe these things of  love is not to understand it. If it could make such distinctions it
W1:127.3  Love cannot judge. As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its

W1:127.4  shared by God Himself. For what you are is what He is. There is no  love but His, and what He is, is everything there is. There is no
W1:127.5  not one principle the world upholds but violates the truth of what  love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the world to find
W1:127.5  what you are as well. Seek not within the world to find your Self.  Love is not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly
W1:127.6  its established goal. If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what  love means today, you have advanced in distance without measure and
W1:127.8  give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what  love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts today and help
W1:127.8  your idle thoughts today and help you understand the truth of  love. In loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you allow His

W1:130.2 Yet who can really hate and  love at once? Who can desire what he does not want to have reality?
W1:130.2  for this its weapon is—that which you fear to see you cannot see.  Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in
W1:130.4  up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet  love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being, and no
W1:131.1  cannot be achieved. You look for permanence in the impermanent, for  love where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger,
W1:131.6  abandon his Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging  Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall
W1:132.12  apart from Him nor make what does not share His timelessness and  love. Are these inherent in the world you see? Does it create like

W1:152.2  peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where  love and perfect holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be
W1:152.10  Him Who has created us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in  love. The power of decision is our own. And we accept of Him that
W1:152.11  of God's Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's  Love, his right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted
W1:153.17  as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His  Love. And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His
W1:153.20  am here.” Your practicing will now begin to take the earnestness of  love to help you keep your mind from wandering from its intent.
W1:153.21  your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail because the  love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their
W1:155.12  Could any way be holier or more deserving of your effort, of your  love, and of your full intent? What way could give you more than
W1:155.14  of Him a while each day that He may speak to you and tell you of His  Love, reminding you how great His trust, how limitless His Love. In
W1:155.14  of His Love, reminding you how great His trust, how limitless His  Love. In your name and His own, which are the same, we practice
W1:157.9  serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect  Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an
W1:158.1  sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you were created out of  Love. Nor have you left your Source, remaining as you were created.
W1:158.6  is a quiet place within the world made holy by forgiveness and by  love. Here are all contradictions reconciled, for here the journey
W1:158.11  shares its unseen holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal  love. We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the

W1:159.3  far beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of  love which never died but has been kept obscure. Christ's vision

W1:160.1 Fear is a stranger to the ways of  love. Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to yourself. And
W1:160.4  His Son? Is fear His own, created in His likeness? Is it fear that  love completes and is completed by? There is no home can shelter love
W1:160.4  love completes and is completed by? There is no home can shelter  love and fear. They cannot coexist. If you are real, then fear must
W1:161.1  against our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to  love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice
W1:161.5  calls for no response, for symbols can stand for the meaningless.  Love needs no symbols, being true. But fear attaches to specifics,
W1:161.9  do the body's eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels  love, and God created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's
W1:161.10  to you. Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you request that  love destroy itself? Or would you have it be revealed to you and set
W1:162.2 Here is the Word by which the Son became His Father's happiness, His  Love, and His completion. Here creation is proclaimed and honored as
W1:162.4  it is now the treasury in which God places all His gifts and all His  Love to be distributed to all the world, increased in giving, kept
W1:163.4  all creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of  love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of
W1:163.9  messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your  love which shines in everything. We live and breathe in You alone. We

W1:165.6  in him, and deprivation cannot cut him off from God's sustaining  love and from his home.
W1:165.7  Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His  love remains beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still
W1:168.1  His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He will  love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him
W1:168.1  still. And when his mind awakes, He loves him with a never-changing  Love.
W1:168.2 If you but knew the meaning of His  Love, hope and despair would be impossible, for hope would be forever
W1:168.2  His answer is to all despair, for in it lies remembrance of His  Love. Would He not gladly give the means by which His Will is
W1:168.4  later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the world in  love and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise up and
W1:168.5  us the means to lay them down and rise to Him in gratitude and  love.
W1:168.6  but the words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His  Love:
W1:168.7  I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son You  love.
W1:169.1 Grace is an aspect of the  Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the  Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone
W1:170.4  your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For  love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs
W1:170.6 Next are the attributes of  love bestowed upon its “enemy.” For fear becomes your safety and
W1:170.6  about your strength and hope of rest in dreamless quiet. And as  love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone, love is endowed
W1:170.6  quiet. And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone,  love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would ask you lay
W1:170.6  to it and it alone, love is endowed with attributes of fear. For  love would ask you lay down all defense as merely foolish. And your
W1:170.7 With  love as enemy must cruelty become a god, and gods demand that those
W1:170.9  before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to  love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay before this
W1:170.10  of fear as god. For fear is loved by those who worship it, and  love appears to be invested now with cruelty.
W1:170.11 Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance come from?  Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear. Yet must the
W1:170.11  their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of  love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of Love Itself?
W1:170.11  now a part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of  Love Itself? The blood appears to be upon His lips; the fire comes
W1:170.13  The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for  love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:R5.5 God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:R5.6 This Self alone knows  love. This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its thoughts, knows
W1:R5.6  Its Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its knowledge and Its  love, and never changes from Its constant state of union with Its

W1:174.1 God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:174.2 [157] Into His Presence would I enter now. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:174.3 [158] Today I learn to give as I receive. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.1 God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.2 [159] I give the miracles I have received. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.3 [160] I am at home. Fear is the stranger here. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.1 God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.2 [161] Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.3 [162] I am as God created me. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.1 God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.2 [163] There is no death. The Son of God is free. God is but  Love, and therefore so am I.

W1:181.10  proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our  love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy

W1:186.13  answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For  Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most
W1:186.14  come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of  love which as it is in Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed here is
W1:186.14  In this form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what  love will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is
W1:187.10  we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's  Love.
W1:189.1  light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the  Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in
W1:189.1  in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and  love.
W1:189.3 This is the world the  Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see
W1:189.4  of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God's  Love in them. Their world reflects the quietness and peace that
W1:189.5  held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the  Love of God within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of
W1:189.5  Love of God within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of  love.

W1:189.6  Which knows us perfect as Itself, Its sight which is the gift Its  Love bestows on us. We learn the way today. It is as sure as Love
W1:189.6  Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way today. It is as sure as  Love Itself, to Which it carries us. For its simplicity avoids the
W1:189.9  with this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His  love will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is
W1:189.9  Son to show Him how to find His way. Through every opened door His  love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the world in
W1:190.2  wholly unassailable. It is a nightmare of abandonment by an eternal  Love which could not leave the Son whom It created out of love.
W1:190.2  an eternal Love which could not leave the Son whom It created out of  love.
W1:190.3  pain. If pain is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not part of  love. And fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God is
W1:190.3  is no God. For vengeance is not part of love. And fear, denying  love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has shown that death
W1:190.8  denied the Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over  love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the world becomes a

W1:192.1  shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in  love preserved, extending love, creating in its name, forever one

W1:193.3  for He knows no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of  Love be given form in which it could be offered to the world. And He

W1:193.12  is. And God would have him not forget His Love and all the gifts His  Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your own salvation? Would
W1:193.20  And then you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings the  Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to
W1:194.7  of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard except with  love? For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his
W1:194.8  again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of  love. Think you the world could fail to gain thereby and every living

W1:195.4  no comparisons. And gratitude can only be sincere if it is joined to  love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will
W1:195.4  while others still are bound, for who can bargain in the name of  love?
W1:195.8 Walk then in gratitude, the way of  love. For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. What

W1:195.10  more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in hand with  love, and where one is, the other must be found. For gratitude is but
W1:195.10  is, the other must be found. For gratitude is but an aspect of the  love which is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you,
W1:195.10  Son, for being what you are—His own completion and the source of  love, along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you.
W1:195.10  along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you. For  love can walk no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who
W1:196.11  And you can call on Him to save you from illusions in His  Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant
W1:196.11  instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear and make advance to  love.

W1:199.2  Love. And fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to  Love. It rests in God, and who can be afraid who lives in Innocence

W1:200.3 Yet you can ask as easily for  love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no

W2:I.8  has held us up. His thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His  Love has called to us unceasingly since time began.
W2:I.10  all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His  Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. Instead of
W2:221.1  me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and  love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.
W2:222.1  from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care and holds in  love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he
W2:225.1 Father, I must return Your  love for me. For giving and receiving are the same, and You have
W2:225.1  For giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your  love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in full awareness,
W2:229.1  “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no more.  Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming home that I will
W2:231.1 What can I seek for, Father, but Your  Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else—a something I have
W2:231.1  else—a something I have called by many names. Yet is Your  Love the only thing I seek or ever sought. For there is nothing else
W2:232.1  As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your  Love, and let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and

W2:235.2 Father, Your holiness is mine. Your  Love created me and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have

W2:246.2  You will is what I will as well and only that. And so I choose to  love Your Son. Amen.
W2:248.2 Father, my ancient  love for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father,
W2:248.2 Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me  love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is
W2:248.2  Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your  Love remembered and my own. Now do I understand that they are one.

W2:252.1  from burning impulses which move the world but from the boundless  Love of God Himself. How far beyond this world my Self must be, and
W2:254.2  them. They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His  Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to

W2:259.1  this could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation, giving  love the attributes of fear and of attack?
W2:259.2 Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of  love nor seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no

W2:WIB.1  is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping  love outside?
W2:WIB.3  quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only  love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful,
W2:WIB.5  that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and not in lies.  Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you
W2:WIB.5  not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with  love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home.
W2:WIB.5  does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with  love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self.
W2:WIB.5  you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with  love, and find your Self.
W2:262.1  and we are part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your  Love, eternally the holy Son of God.
W2:263.1  Your Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; Your  Love gave life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it

W2:264.1  You in Your own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting  Love.

Tx:22.41 Think of the  loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And think how

Tx:13.28  perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not to look upon the  lovely truth in you. Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your

Tx:12.37  brother, you are not seeing him. Everyone draws nigh unto what he  loves and recoils from what he fears. And you react with fear to love
Tx:12.42  and calling forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you. For He  loves what He sees within you, and He would extend it. And He will

Tx:12.64  the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves what he  loves not and following not the road that love points out. Love leads
Tx:12.66  only in the past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it now. God  loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever.
Tx:13.27  and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his Father  loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever thought his
Tx:13.29  as surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His son  loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who

Tx:13.79  can have no effects to fear. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who  loves you and would lead you out of insanity. Madness may be your
Tx:14.2  Him and for yourselves. You cannot understand how much your Father  loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the world
Tx:15.32  less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. What my Father  loves, I love as He does, and I can no more accept it as what it is
Tx:15.54  from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every brother God  loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs them all
Tx:15.54  and it is impossible to understand it. Every brother God loves as He  loves you—neither less nor more. He needs them all equally, and so
Tx:16.17  you better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God  loves with perfect love?

Tx:22.59 What can it be but universal blessing to look on what your Father  loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's
Tx:23.10  all conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. He  loves you perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of God at war
Tx:23.15  Yet no illusion can invade His home and drive Him out of what He  loves forever. And what He loves must be forever quiet and at peace
Tx:23.15  His home and drive Him out of what He loves forever. And what He  loves must be forever quiet and at peace because it is His home. And
Tx:24.39 Do not defend this senseless dream in which God is bereft of what He  loves and you remain beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this
Tx:24.40 The Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He  loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He
Tx:24.45  sought for your completion in each living thing that He beholds and  loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer you the love of God.
Tx:24.58  but that your specialness will disappear before the Will of God, Who  loves each part of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you

Tx:26.28  as the rest. And each one teaches him that what he fear[s,] he  loves the most. What but a miracle could change his mind, so that he
Tx:27.47  brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you  loves all the world and leaves nothing within the world that could be
Tx:27.69  of his peace and happiness as is the weather or the time of day. It  loves him not but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its
Tx:29.2  Certain it is he knows not what love means. He fears to love and  loves to hate, and so he thinks that love is fearful—hate is love.
Tx:29.30  all dreams as means to serve the function given Him. Because He  loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream becomes an offering of
Tx:30.36  God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom God so  loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has
W1:68.9  with everyone and everything, safe in a world which protects you and  loves you and which you love in return. Try to feel safety
W1:95.21  in this Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what He is, Who  loves us both as one.
W1:99.9  you say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father  loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself
W1:100.6  you. God asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He  loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no fear
W1:123.3  change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He  loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad
W1:124.3  and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who  loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us
W1:151.7  merely bear false witness to God's Son. He recognizes only what God  loves, and in the holy light of what He sees do all the ego's dreams
W1:153.12  of as a game that happy children play. It was designed by One Who  loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with
W1:168.1  Him and suffer from deception. He remains entirely accessible. He  loves His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He
W1:168.1  He will love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He  loves him still. And when his mind awakes, He loves him with a
W1:168.1  remains asleep, He loves him still. And when his mind awakes, He  loves him with a never-changing Love.
W1:168.4 God  loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world
W1:168.6  prepared for us He gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He  loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave
W1:184.12  to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He  loves.
W1:190.8  have gladly paid not to be free. In pain is God denied the Son He  loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and time replace
W1:193.5  them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the Son He  loves. Each lesson has a central thought, the same in all of them.
W1:199.2  rests in God, and who can be afraid who lives in Innocence and only  loves?
W1:219.1  And then return to earth without confusion as to what my Father  loves forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still
W2:235.1  sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He  loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much our Father  loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him
W2:239.1  of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them when He  loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He
W2:WIS.3  an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He  loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever
W2:WIS.4  that ends in death. But all the while his Father shines on him and  loves him with an everlasting Love which his pretenses cannot change
W2:276.1  holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father of the Son He  loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His Son did not create
W2:279.2  will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father  loves the Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the

W2:282.1  this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He  loves and Who remains my one Reality.
W2:283.1  is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my Father  loves. His holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God.
W2:316.1  a past mistake to go and leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father  loves. His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received

W2:337.1  to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father  loves His Son, to know I am the Son my Father loves.

W2:E.6  we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do. He  loves God's Son as we would love him, and He teaches us how to behold
M:11.1  is man's inheritance. The world you see cannot be the world God  loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. God's
M:11.1  cannot be the world God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He  loves the world. God's Word has promised us that peace is possible

Tx:9.59 Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or  loving, because nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in
