Tx:1.58 | Darkness is lack of light, as sin is | lack of love. It has no unique properties of its own. It is an |

Tx:1.89 | of man. It is, in fact, the essential difference. A need implies | lack by definition. It involves the recognition that you would be |
Tx:1.91 | —that is, what he lacks. A sense of separation from God is the only | lack he really needs to correct. This sense of separation would never |
Tx:1.92 | Unified need produces unified action, because it produces a | lack of ambivalence. The concept of a need hierarchy, a corollary to |
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:2.5 | is used inappropriately, it always implies that some emptiness or | lack exists and that it is in man's ability to put his own ideas |
Tx:2.17 | In reality, you are perfectly unaffected by all expressions of | lack of love. These can be either from yourself and others or from |
Tx:2.17 | Mental health is inner peace. It enables you to remain unshaken by | lack of love from without and capable through your own miracles of |
Tx:2.17 | miracles of correcting the external conditions which proceed from | lack of love in others. |
Tx:2.23 | imposes them back on himself and others. This establishes the total | lack of threat anywhere. Together we can then work for the real time |

Tx:3.43 | even this is subject to degrees, a fact which clearly demonstrates a | lack of association with knowledge. The term “right-mindedness” is |
Tx:3.52 | confused. When you make something, you make it out of a sense of | lack or need. Anything that is made is made for a specific purpose |
Tx:3.52 | true generalizability. When you make something to fill a perceived | lack, which is obviously why you would want to make anything, you are |
Tx:3.60 | as perception lasts, prayer has a place. Since perception rests on | lack, those who perceive have not totally accepted the Atonement and |
Tx:4.7 | order of learning, and unless they share their lessons, they will | lack conviction. A good teacher must believe in the ideas which he |
Tx:4.54 | is meaningful only when the idea of “getting,” which implies a | lack, has already been accepted. That is why we made no distinction |

Tx:5.64 | The ego does not perceive sin as a | lack of love. It perceives sin as a positive act of assault. This is |
Tx:5.64 | to the ego's survival, because as soon as you regard sin as a | lack you will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you |
Tx:5.94 | you are not wholly joyous it is because you have reacted with a | lack of love to some Soul which God created. Perceiving this as |
Tx:6.56 | God does not teach. To teach is to imply a | lack, which God knows is not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching |
Tx:6.60 | itemizes errors because He does not frighten children, and those who | lack wisdom are children. Yet He always answers their call, and His |
Tx:6.80 | it is clearly not the final one. It is clear at this point that the | lack of order of difficulty in miracles has not yet been accepted, |
Tx:7.72 | This is the law of God, and it has no exceptions. What you deny you | lack, not because it is lacking, but because you have denied it in |
Tx:7.110 | to the Kingdom. There are no exceptions to this lesson, because the | lack of exceptions is the lesson. Every Son who returns to the |
Tx:9.4 | you perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it is more than merely | lack of correction for him. It is the giving up of correction in |

Tx:9.44 | is always associated with unwillingness to know and produces a total | lack of knowledge simply because knowledge is total. Not to question |
Tx:9.51 | reality literally drives the ego from your mind because of complete | lack of investment in it. Grandeur is totally without illusions, and |
Tx:9.69 | Yet to give up the dissociation of reality brings more than merely | lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of |
Tx:10.89 | minds of children who do not understand reality. It is only their | lack of understanding which frightens them, and when they learn to |

Tx:14.48 | of them as possible at all. What is more difficult to grasp is the | lack of order of difficulty which stamps the miracle as something |
Tx:14.48 | From the world's viewpoint, this is impossible. You have experienced | lack of competition among your thoughts, which, even though they may |
Tx:14.53 | this fact behind a lot of words which sound impressive but which | lack any consistent sense when they are put together. |
Tx:14.54 | chaotic. For form is not enough for meaning, and the underlying | lack of content makes a cohesive system impossible. Separation |
Tx:14.54 | together in searching for truth, the ego can no longer defend its | lack of content. The fact of union tells them it is not true. |
Tx:15.50 | as without love, you could not have judged them so like you in | lack. |
Tx:16.14 | You think your | lack of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are unwilling to |

Tx:17.3 | them only because you would keep them from truth. Very simply, your | lack of faith in the power that heals all pain arises from your wish |
Tx:17.11 | alive with beauty, and what seemed ugly in the darkness of your | lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not even what the |
Tx:17.53 | of the situation in which you find yourselves. And by this | lack of thanks and gratitude, you make yourselves unable to express |
Tx:17.64 | substitutes for aspects of the situation are the witnesses to your | lack of faith. They demonstrate that you did not believe that the |
Tx:17.64 | and the problem were in the same place. The problem was the | lack of faith, and it is this you demonstrate when you remove it from |
Tx:17.66 | about the situation, which then becomes the justification for your | lack of faith. You will make this error, but be not at all concerned |
Tx:17.66 | faithlessness used against truth will always destroy faith. If you | lack faith, ask that it be restored where it was lost and seek not to |

Tx:17.78 | Fail him not now, for it has been given you to realize what your | lack of faith in him must mean to you. His salvation is your only |
Tx:18.61 | space, the sudden experience of peace and joy, and, above all, the | lack of awareness of the body and of the questioning whether or not |
Tx:18.78 | no bodies and reaches to everything created like itself. Its total | lack of limit is its meaning. It is completely impartial in its |
Tx:20.5 | worthlessness to you, as his acceptance and delight acknowledges the | lack of value he places on himself. |

Tx:21.33 | It is impossible that the Son of God | lack faith, but he can choose where he would have it be. |
Tx:21.33 | but he can choose where he would have it be. Faithlessness is not a | lack of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to illusions does |
Tx:21.33 | of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to illusions does not | lack power, for by it does the Son of God believe that he is |
Tx:22.3 | from a different premise. Each one has looked within and seen no | lack. Accepting his completion, he would extend it by joining with |
Tx:22.5 | your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of | lack of meaning in yourself arise? It is as though you wandered in |
Tx:22.53 | must be perceived as sinless because the goal is sinlessness. The | lack of contradiction makes the soft transition from means to end as |
Tx:23.37 | are judgments on what is not life, equal in their inaccuracy and | lack of meaning. Life not in Heaven is impossible, and what is not in |
Tx:23.38 | fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And | lack of faith in love in any form attests to chaos as reality. |
Tx:24.12 | none. Specialness always makes comparisons. It is established by a | lack seen in another and maintained by searching for and keeping |
Tx:24.34 | Specialness is a | lack of trust in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in |

Tx:25.66 | Justice looks on all in the same way. It is not just that one should | lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in whatever form it |
Tx:26.2 | of oneness. It is a picture of a complete disunity and total | lack of joining. Around each entity is built a wall so seeming solid |
Tx:26.25 | justice can be reflected from beyond the gate behind which total | lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless love could need |
Tx:27.45 | come through you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a | lack of fear. The fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does |
Tx:27.54 | nothing, for they have a goal without a meaning. And they share the | lack of meaning which their purpose has. |
Tx:28.60 | and His Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no | lack in him. An empty space, a little gap, would be a lack. And it is |
Tx:28.60 | 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 for something he has |
Tx:29.8 | force the body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its | lack of strength or weakness. Would you recognize that nothing stands |
Tx:29.25 | illusions? They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal | lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you |
Tx:29.46 | try to bring about your death. For you believe that you can suffer | lack, and lack is death. To sacrifice is to give up and thus to be |
Tx:29.46 | about your death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and | lack is death. To sacrifice is to give up and thus to be without and |
Tx:30.25 | 7. This final step is but acknowledgment of | lack of opposition to be helped. It is a statement of an open mind, |
Tx:30.77 | glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must | lack the power to heal. |
Tx:30.90 | of his perfect health, his perfect freedom from all forms of | lack, and safety from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is proof he |

Tx:1.60 | on this point. God would be mocked if any of His creations | lacked holiness. The creation is whole, and the mark of wholeness is |
Tx:5.49 | not to repeat the error, which is only part of healing. Your concept | lacked the idea of undoing it. What you were really advocating, then, |
Tx:17.64 | it elsewhere. As a result, you do not see the problem. Had you not | lacked the faith it could be solved, the problem would be gone. And |

Tx:1.90 | “separation,” which is a better term than the “fall,” nothing was | lacking. This meant that man had no needs at all. If he had not |
Tx:1.91 | not distorted his perception of truth and thus perceived himself as | lacking. The concept of any sort of need hierarchy arose because, |
Tx:5.57 | nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy Spirit is | lacking. |
Tx:7.72 | and it has no exceptions. What you deny you lack, not because it is | lacking, but because you have denied it in another and are therefore |
Tx:7.77 | share their delusions of scarcity, or you will perceive yourself as | lacking. |
Tx:12.68 | it is a world of scarcity in which you find yourself because you are | lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a world? Without the Holy |
Tx:15.110 | faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be | lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say and |

Tx:17.67 | Only what you have not given can be | lacking in any situation. But remember this: the goal of holiness was |
Tx:30.88 | in danger and uncertainty. It is but your interpretations which are | lacking in stability, for they are not in line with what you really |
W1:42.9 | that we are studying a unified thought system in which nothing is | lacking that is needed, and nothing is included that is contradictory |
W1:102.2 | and does not exist. And everything you think it offers you is | lacking in existence like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be |

Tx:1.29 | The purpose of my part in the Atonement is the canceling out of all | lacks of love which men could not otherwise correct. The word “sin” |
Tx:1.91 | in turn, depends on his perception of what he is—that is, what he | lacks. A sense of separation from God is the only lack he really |
Tx:5.49 | feelings” has merit, but without the concept of the Atonement, it | lacks the healing potential it holds. You made the distinction in |
Tx:5.57 | only the complete can think completely, and the thinking of God | lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy |
Tx:19.18 | not an error, for sin entails an arrogance which the idea of error | lacks. To sin would be to violate reality and to succeed. Sin is the |
Tx:24.12 | and maintained by searching for and keeping clear in sight all | lacks it can perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks upon. And |

Tx:4.36 | is obliterated. The ego cannot survive without judgment and is | laid aside accordingly. The mind then has only one direction in which |
Tx:6.4 | it before because of its fearful connotations. The only emphasis we | laid upon it was that it was not a form of punishment. Nothing, |
Tx:7.88 | sole responsibility for the ego's existence yourself, you will have | laid aside all anger and all attack, because they come from an |
Tx:9.91 | The miracle is the act of a Son of God who has | laid aside all false gods and who calls on his brothers to do |
Tx:11.17 | hiding your heads under the covers of the heavy blankets you have | laid upon yourselves. You are hiding your nightmares in the darkness |
Tx:11.86 | most insane belief of all. And their bodies wither and gasp and are | laid in the ground and seem to be no more. Not one of them but has |
Tx:13.39 | to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has | laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail. Nothing |
Tx:13.91 | knows it. So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have | laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to teach |
Tx:14.62 | your dark lessons must be brought willingly to truth and joyously | laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark |
Tx:15.93 | the time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is | laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited power is thus restored to |
Tx:17.76 | such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever faithlessness is | laid aside unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is |
Tx:18.16 | them be, and what they do you order. No limit on substitution is | laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the world were given you, |
Tx:18.21 | your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has | laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone |
Tx:18.23 | its conditions. In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently | laid the real world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is |
Tx:18.93 | waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every evil thought you had | laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the Son of God, and you |
Tx:18.93 | in the journey inward. Here are the dark and heavy garments of guilt | laid by and gently replaced by purity and love. |
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:19.13 | to each other, for you stand at the same altar where grace was | laid for both of you. And be you healed by grace together, that you |

Tx:19.54 | and softly brushed with beauty. The world contains no fear which you | laid not upon it. And none you cannot ask love's messengers to remove |
Tx:19.81 | of your unrecognized dedication to death. The glitter of guilt you | laid upon the body would kill it. For what the ego loves, it kills |
Tx:19.85 | of it. But free it from the merciless and unrelenting orders you | laid upon it and forgive it what you ordered it to do. In its |
Tx:19.105 | and tortured mind. Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you | laid upon him and he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly and |
Tx:20.8 | you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see what you have | laid upon it to offer me. If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply |
Tx:20.10 | vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a while and | laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully, nor think it but a dream |
Tx:20.13 | protection, and shining from the holy altar within him where you | laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from |
Tx:20.63 | Who sees a brother's body has | laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does not really see him |
Tx:20.70 | with radiant purity and sparkling with the shining lilies you | laid upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you think the |
Tx:21.32 | to the real world and away from all illusions where your faith was | laid. This is His direction, the only one He ever sees. And when you |

Tx:22.56 | brings to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be | laid in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the |
Tx:24.56 | He is the mirror of yourself wherein you see the judgment you have | laid on both of you. The Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your |
Tx:25.50 | And if the Holy Spirit can commute each sentence that you | laid upon yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. Sin is |
Tx:25.66 | sin, but not the total cost. The rest is taken from another, to be | laid beside your little payment to “atone” for all that you would |
Tx:26.19 | together—where conflicting values meet and all illusions are | laid down beside the truth where they are judged to be untrue. This |

Tx:26.72 | The plans you make for safety all are | laid within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been |
Tx:26.89 | And each unfairness that the world appears to lay upon you, you have | laid on it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the |

Tx:28.10 | a judgment on your own Creator cannot understand it is not He Who | laid a judgment on His Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have |

Tx:2.58 | This is because the | last thing that can help the non-right-minded, or the sick, is an |
Tx:2.105 | basic distinction leads us directly into the real meaning of the | Last Judgment. |
Tx:2.106 | The | Last Judgment is one of the greatest threat concepts in man's |
Tx:2.106 | Just as the separation occurred over many millions of years, the | Last Judgment will extend over a similarly long period and perhaps an |
Tx:2.108 | The | Last Judgment is generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by |
Tx:2.108 | is a concept in total opposition to right-mindedness. The aim of the | Last Judgment is to restore right-mindedness to man. |
Tx:2.109 | The | Last Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. It |
Tx:2.110 | example of upside-down perception. Actually, if the meaning of the | Last Judgment is objectively examined, it is quite apparent that it |
Tx:2.111 | No one who lives in fear is really alive. His own | last judgment cannot be directed toward himself because he is not his |
Tx:3.34 | experience from the realm of knowledge. That is why visions do not | last. |
Tx:3.61 | We have already discussed the | Last Judgment in some though insufficient detail. After the Last |
Tx:3.61 | the Last Judgment in some though insufficient detail. After the | Last Judgment there will be no more. This is symbolic only in the |
Tx:4.3 | The journey to the cross should be the | last foolish journey for every mind. Do not dwell upon it, but |
Tx:4.3 | it, but dismiss it as accomplished. If you can accept it as your own | last foolish journey, you are also free to join my resurrection. |
Tx:4.29 | conflicted, because all attitudes are ego-based. This will not | last. Be patient awhile and remember that the outcome is as certain |
Tx:4.74 | the things you want to learn are chosen because their value will not | last. The ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself to |
Tx:5.12 | that comes close enough to One-Mindedness that transfer to it is at | last possible. Transfer depends on common elements in the old |
Tx:5.12 | helpful here to use the literal meaning of “carried” over since the | last step is taken by God. |
Tx:6.5 | thus make it stronger. I also told you that the crucifixion was the | last foolish journey that the Sonship need take and that it should |
Tx:6.61 | and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will | last forever. Many think this is accomplished through death, but |
Tx:6.71 | from it. All good teachers realize that only fundamental change will | last, but they do not begin at that level. Strengthening motivation |
Tx:6.71 | for change is their first and foremost goal. It is also their | last and final one. |
Tx:7.6 | complete, because the Kingdom of God is whole. We have said that the | last step in the reawakening of knowledge is taken by God. This is |
Tx:7.6 | into the timeless. He can therefore tell you something about this | last step, although this one you must know yourself, since by it you |
Tx:7.7 | not teach, because His creations are changeless. He does nothing | last, because He created first and for always. It must be understood |
Tx:7.73 | image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And perception will | last until the Sonship knows itself as whole. |
Tx:7.74 | You made perception, and it must | last as long as you want it. Illusions are investments. They will |
Tx:7.74 | last as long as you want it. Illusions are investments. They will | last as long as you value them. Values are relative, but they are |
Tx:9.17 | lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do not fear the | Last Judgment, but welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's time is |
Tx:9.67 | will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at | last your will, it will be yours. |
Tx:10.4 | My brother, you are part of God and part of me. When you have at | last looked at the ego's foundation without shrinking, you will also |
Tx:10.47 | What you must learn to recognize is that the | last thing the ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of |
Tx:10.65 | you have removed the nails from the hands of God's Son and taken the | last thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His Son, whom |
Tx:10.90 | have made. And then your Father will lean down to you and take the | last step for you by raising you unto Himself. |
Tx:11.34 | which you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you will at | last have placed its source, and where it began it must end. For in |
Tx:11.59 | He knows His Father's love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at | last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses |
Tx:11.84 | it was always so. Nothingness will become invisible, for you will at | last have seen truly. Redeemed perception is easily translated into |
Tx:12.70 | And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary and will but | last until you step aside from all your needs and learn that all of |
Tx:13.2 | beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, will | last forever. |

Tx:16.41 | now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the | last foolish journey away from truth together, and then together we |
Tx:17.10 | you will barely have time to thank God for it. For God will take the | last step swiftly when you have reached the real world and have been |
Tx:17.39 | the picture. And finally you look upon the picture itself, seeing at | last that, unprotected by the frame, it has no meaning. |
Tx:17.40 | And now by real comparison a transformation of both pictures can at | last occur. And each is given its rightful place, when both are seen |
Tx:17.40 | fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is brought home at | last. And what you see there, you will recognize as what it is—a |
Tx:18.22 | to choosing between dreams you do not see that you have made, at | last, the choice between the truth and all illusions. |
Tx:18.67 | on this than to consider what you should do. When peace comes at | last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the |
Tx:18.67 | and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at | last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is |
Tx:19.39 | What need is there for seeing then? When God has taken the | last step Himself, the Holy Spirit will gather all your thanks and |
Tx:19.56 | I am made welcome in the state of grace, which means you have at | last forgiven me. For I became the symbol of your sin, and so I had |
Tx:19.91 | brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to join with Him at | last. For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ |
Tx:21.47 | remembers Heaven, and now it sees that Heaven has come to earth at | last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has |
Tx:21.76 | You have already answered the first three questions but not yet the | last. For this one still seems fearful and unlike the others. Yet |
Tx:21.76 | things that are the same. This final question, which is indeed the | last you need decide, still seems to hold a threat the rest have lost |
Tx:21.76 | may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then, would seem to be the | last remaining hope of finding sin and not accepting power. |
Tx:21.78 | Consider carefully your answer to the | last question you have left unanswered still. And let your reason |
Tx:21.82 | who look on sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the | last question adds the wish for constancy in your desire to see the |
Tx:21.83 | Could it be necessary they be asked so often, if they had? Until the | last decision has been made, the answer is both “yes” and “no.” For |
Tx:22.18 | You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not | last is really fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal |
Tx:23.54 | that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that will | last forever? |

Tx:26.21 | can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be brought to the | last comparison that he will ever make, the last evaluation that will |
Tx:26.21 | must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever make, the | last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this |
Tx:26.52 | sin has taken His reality from Him, and brought His love at | last to vengeance's heels. For such an insane picture, an insane |
Tx:26.84 | never separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at | last. Where stood a cross stands now the risen Christ, and ancient |
Tx:26.84 | Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They have come at | last! |

W1:57.2 | I would give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at | last. |
W1:64.3 | To review our | last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the world, |
W1:69.8 | hold this confidence in your mind. Try to remember that you are at | last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in |
W1:70.7 | ready for two longer practice periods today, each of which should | last some ten to 15 minutes. We will, however, still let you decide |
W1:75.4 | Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at | last. Sight is given us, now that the light has come. |

W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins today. We will review two of the | last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We will |
W1:R3.8 | the first five minutes of the day to your review and also give the | last five minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be done, |
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 |
W1:129.5 | near are you when you exchange it for the world you want. Now is the | last step certain; now you stand an instant's space away from |
W1:129.11 | do we understand there is no loss, for we have seen its opposite at | last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember your |

W1:133.7 | First, if you choose a thing that will not | last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is |
W1:135.25 | unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer comes to you at | last. |
W1:138.12 | choice that we have made each hour in between. And now we give the | last five minutes of our waking day to the decision with which we |

W1:153.14 | So is the story ended. Let this day bring the | last chapter closer to the world that everyone may learn the tales he |

W1:154.11 | to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at | last delivered. And He needs our will united with His own, that we |
W1:161.5 | be the body that we feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at | last puts out our life. Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form |
W1:166.9 | fear has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at | last. Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you |
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 call it god no |
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. |
W1:182.12 | And now the way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at | last. Be still a moment and go home with Him, and be at peace a while. |
W1:190.6 | a hospital for pain, a sickly place where living things must come at | last to die? |
W1:190.9 | into 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 |
W1:191.10 | see the world as dark and sinful when God's Son has come again at | last to set it free? |
W1:193.20 | Heaven's gate and brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at | last, to raise it up to Heaven. God will take this final step |
W1:195.7 | direct them to the peace that we would find, the way is opening at | last to us. An ancient door is swinging free again; a long forgotten |
W1:195.8 | more remains as obstacles to peace? The fear of God is now undone at | last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot choose to |

W1:198.12 | beliefs forgotten with it, as the face of Christ appears unveiled at | last in this one dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for |
W1:200.2 | This is the final point to which each one must come at | last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there is none, |

W2:250.2 | him, so I see myself. Today I would see truly that this day I may at | last identify with him. |
W2:251.1 | I could need. Now have I everything that I could want. And now at | last I find myself at peace. |

W2:260.2 | is our Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity at | last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know no sin. And we |
W2:WIC.3 | before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at | last. |
W2:WIC.5 | now is over and the goal of the Atonement has been reached at | last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ's face and look on |

W2:WILJ.3 | You who believed that God's | Last Judgment would condemn the world to hell along with you, accept |

Tx:12.68 | The ego wants to have things for salvation, for possession is its | law. Possession for its own sake is the ego's fundamental creed, a |

Tx:13.11 | the future 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 |

Tx:23.22 | The second | law of chaos, dear indeed to every worshiper of sin, is that each one |
Tx:23.27 | The ego values only what it takes. This leads to the fourth | law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be true. This |
Tx:23.27 | chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be true. This seeming | law is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's |
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 |
Tx:25.33 | to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. Even in Heaven does this | law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing his |
Tx:25.86 | that you receive, you give. Each one becomes an illustration of the | law on which salvation rests—that justice must be done to all if |
Tx:26.60 | be true because ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's | law—that each idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance, |
Tx:27.19 | as you, and you are healed because you wished him well. This is the | law the miracle obeys; that healing sees no specialness at all. It |
Tx:27.54 | the body real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the | law of purpose, which unites all those who share in it within itself. |
Tx:29.15 | who are confused is meaningless, and shift and change become the | law on which they predicate their lives. |

W1:158.7 | Christ's vision has one | law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom God |
W1:189.5 | choice is given you. But learn and do not let your mind forget this | law of seeing: you will look upon that which you feel within. If |
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. |
W1:193.3 | to the world. And He created One Who could perceive what form this | law should take, to be received by every mind which had forgotten it |
W1:198.2 | and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the | law that rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge |
W1:198.2 | you are freed. Such is the law that rules perception. It is not a | law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge. |

W2:WIM.2 | for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the | law of truth the world does not obey because it fails entirely to |
W2:344.1 | This is Your | law, my Father, not my own. I have not understood what giving means |
W2:344.1 | my store with Heaven's treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the | law of love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You. |
W2:345.1 | me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the | law of love is universal. Even here it takes a form which can be |
W2:346.1 | 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 created for Your |
W2:349.1 | see and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the | law of love and give what I would find and make my own. It will be |
W2:354.1 | me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time and wholly free of every | law but Yours. I have no self except the Christ in me. I have no |

Tx:6.55 | everything God created is faithful to His laws. Fidelity to other | laws is also possible, however, not because the laws are true, but |
Tx:6.55 | Fidelity to other laws is also possible, however, not because the | laws are true, but because you made them. What would be gained if God |
Tx:6.63 | one mind is meaningful, but to be of one body is meaningless. By the | laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. To the Holy Spirit, |
Tx:7.10 | it governs are very different from the thoughts in the Kingdom. | Laws must be adapted to circumstances if they are to maintain order. |
Tx:7.11 | The outstanding characteristic of the | laws of mind as they operate in this world is that by obeying them— |
Tx:7.11 | you can arrive at diametrically opposed results. This is because the | laws have adapted to the circumstances of this world, in which |
Tx:7.11 | world, in which diametrically opposed outcomes are believed in. The | laws of mind govern thoughts, and you do respond to two conflicting |
Tx:7.15 | Laws must be communicated if they are to be helpful. In effect, they | |
Tx:7.15 | meaning is retained. The Holy Spirit is the translator of the | laws of God to those who do not understand them. You could not do |
Tx:7.32 | Healing is also a science, because it obeys the | laws of God, Whose laws are true. Because they are true, they are |
Tx:7.32 | Healing is also a science, because it obeys the laws of God, Whose | laws are true. Because they are true, they are perfectly dependable |

Tx:7.33 | is of the Spirit, and certainty is of God according to His | laws. Both, therefore, come from the same Source, [because] |
Tx:7.33 | comes from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from the | laws of God. Healing does not come directly from God, Who knows His |
Tx:7.33 | of God, because it proceeds from His Voice and from His | laws. It is their result, in a state of mind which does not know Him. |
Tx:7.34 | part of creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The | laws of God establish this, and the Holy Spirit reminds you of it. |
Tx:7.34 | Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the | laws of God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said before that |
Tx:7.34 | you heal, you are remembering the laws of God and forgetting the | laws of the ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way of |
Tx:7.36 | without this belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the | laws of God, even in a state of mind which is out of accord with His. |
Tx:7.37 | is a way of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the | laws of God and recognizing their universality. Without this |
Tx:7.37 | their universality. Without this recognition, you have made the | laws themselves meaningless to you. Yet the laws are not meaningless, |
Tx:7.37 | you have made the laws themselves meaningless to you. Yet the | laws are not meaningless, since all meaning is contained by them and |
Tx:7.38 | Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is where the | laws of God operate truly, and they can operate only truly since they |
Tx:7.38 | operate truly, and they can operate only truly since they are the | laws of Truth. But seek this only because you can find nothing else. |
Tx:7.46 | on, because it is inspired by His Voice and is in accord with His | laws. Yet if healing is consistence, it cannot be inconsistently |
Tx:7.71 | of the Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the | laws of God. Stated positively,] the law requires you to recognize |
Tx:7.84 | up and free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of the | laws of God, utilizes the power of the mind only to defeat the mind's |
Tx:7.87 | It is the distorted product of the misapplication of the | laws of God by distorted minds which are misusing their own power. |
Tx:7.107 | The world goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's | laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is |
Tx:8.2 | Who makes no bargains. It is merely the result of your misuse of His | laws on behalf of a will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If |
Tx:8.25 | in all. His peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His | laws govern you, because they govern everything. You cannot exempt |
Tx:8.25 | because they govern everything. You cannot exempt yourself from His | laws, although you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you |
Tx:8.102 | your eyes, you will not see because you are interfering with the | laws of seeing. If you deny love, you will not know it because your |
Tx:8.102 | because your cooperation is the law of its being. You cannot change | laws you did not make, and the laws of happiness were created for |
Tx:8.102 | law of its being. You cannot change laws you did not make, and the | laws of happiness were created for you, not by you. |
Tx:8.117 | much for little is to believe that you can bargain with God. God's | laws are always fair and perfectly consistent. By giving you receive. |
Tx:9.29 | and not yourself, you will understand that you are not obeying the | laws of this world, but that the laws you are obeying work. “The good |
Tx:9.29 | that you are not obeying the laws of this world, but that the | laws you are obeying work. “The good is what works” is a sound, |
Tx:9.59 | world can take this responsibility from you. You can violate God's | laws in your imagination, but you cannot escape from them. They were |
Tx:9.64 | Everything that was created is therefore perfectly safe, because the | laws of God protect it by His Love. Any part of your mind that does |
Tx:9.65 | happen at all. You do not think this mysterious, even though all the | laws of what you awakened to were violated while you slept. Is it not |
Tx:9.68 | dissociated material is accepted, it ceases to be fearful, for the | laws of mind always hold. |
Tx:9.80 | A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting | laws. I will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it |
Tx:9.88 | God's | laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and |
Tx:9.88 | will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His | laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but |
Tx:9.88 | is His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the | laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and |
Tx:9.88 | to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the | laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their |
Tx:9.88 | laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage are irreconcilable, their | laws cannot be understood together. The laws of God work only for |
Tx:9.88 | are irreconcilable, their laws cannot be understood together. The | laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other laws |
Tx:9.88 | The laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other | laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawless and therefore |
Tx:9.88 | chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected everything He created by His | laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them does not exist. |
Tx:9.89 | and accepting it of them. All this has never been. Nothing but the | laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever |
Tx:9.89 | nothing except His Will will ever be. You were created through His | laws and by His Will, and the manner of your creation established you |
Tx:9.90 | And if it is so for Him, it is so for you. His definitions are His | laws, for by them He established the universe as what it is. No false |
Tx:10.8 | then, could you know your creations, having denied infinity? The | laws of the universe do not permit contradiction. What holds for God |
Tx:10.32 | the Father without believing that the Father has denied him? God's | laws hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. What |
Tx:10.40 | is obviously to recognize that what has no effects does not exist. | Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what leads to nothing has not |
Tx:10.54 | The ego's interpretation of the | laws of perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of |
Tx:11.59 | have become so similar that they share the unification of the | laws of God. |
Tx:11.86 | this is so. For this world is the symbol of punishment, and all the | laws which seem to govern it are the laws of death. Children are born |
Tx:11.86 | of punishment, and all the laws which seem to govern it are the | laws of death. Children are born into it through pain and in pain. |
Tx:12.56 | Awakening unto Christ is following the | laws of love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the |
Tx:12.57 | And yet the | laws of love are not suspended because you sleep. And you have |
Tx:13.11 | for it demands fidelity to darkness and forbids awakening. The ego's | laws are strict, and breaches are severely punished. Therefore give |
Tx:13.11 | breaches are severely punished. Therefore give no obedience to its | laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow them |
Tx:13.11 | punished. Therefore give no obedience to its laws, for they are | laws of punishment. And those who follow them believe that they are |
Tx:13.11 | and so they must condemn. Between the future and the past, the | laws of God must intervene if you would free yourselves. Atonement |
Tx:14.47 | unique function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the | laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the one thing you |
Tx:15.60 | can only give. And this is love, for this alone is natural under the | laws of God. |
Tx:15.61 | In the holy instant, the | laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this |
Tx:15.61 | instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The | laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of |
Tx:15.61 | cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts the | laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be |
Tx:18.62 | calls to you to be yourself within its safe embrace. There are the | laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and |
Tx:20.28 | you unless you give it the power to do so. For you give power as the | laws of this world interpret giving—as you give, you lose. It is |
Tx:20.29 | as the Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the | laws of God in minds that have established other laws and given them |
Tx:20.29 | reawakening of the laws of God in minds that have established other | laws and given them power to enforce what God created not. |
Tx:20.30 | Your insane | laws were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give |
Tx:20.30 | you see your own. For this you share. What God has given follows His | laws and His alone. Nor is it possible for those who follow them to |
Tx:20.34 | they rest, the face of Christ shines on them, and they remember the | laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His |
Tx:20.34 | laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His | laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers. Think you |
Tx:20.37 | in him. And there he finds his function of restoring his Father's | laws to what was held outside them and finding what was lost. Only in |
Tx:20.43 | Would you exchange this gift for any other? This gift returns the | laws of God to your remembrance. And merely by remembering them, the |
Tx:20.43 | laws of God to your remembrance. And merely by remembering them, the | laws that held you prisoner to pain and death must be forgotten. This |
Tx:20.71 | upon with vision. For this is not your sight, and brings with it the | laws beloved of Him Whose sight it is. |
Tx:20.72 | looked upon with vision falls gently into place according to the | laws brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for |
Tx:20.73 | right, bringing them gently within the kindly sway of Heaven's | laws. What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if |
Tx:21.49 | world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind directs. The | laws of size and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other |
Tx:23.19 | of chaos can be brought to light, though never understood. Chaotic | laws are hardly meaningful and therefore out of reason's sphere. Yet |
Tx:23.19 | purpose to make meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the | laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing and |
Tx:23.23 | has done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which the | laws of chaos stand could not be more apparent than emerges here. |
Tx:23.27 | that you can never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other | laws must lead to this. For enemies do not give willingly to one |
Tx:23.31 | a world where meaning can be found, consider this: [These are the | laws on which your “sanity” appears to rest.] These are the |
Tx:23.31 | feet seem solid. And it is here you look for meaning. These are the | laws you made for your salvation. They hold in place the substitute |
Tx:23.32 | a kindness, hatred love and murder benediction, is the goal the | laws of chaos serve. These are the means by which the laws of God |
Tx:23.32 | the goal the laws of chaos serve. These are the means by which the | laws of God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to |
Tx:23.32 | means by which the laws 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 | the goals of chaos, for by the great reversal, they appear to be the | laws of order. How could it not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has |
Tx:23.33 | of order. How could it not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has no | laws. To be believed, its seeming laws must be perceived as real. |
Tx:23.33 | Chaos is lawlessness and has no laws. To be believed, its seeming | laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as |
Tx:23.33 | its substitute, the savior from salvation. How lovely do the | laws of fear make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's |
Tx:23.34 | And yet, how can it be that | laws like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes |
Tx:23.36 | maintain and think it true that you do not believe these senseless | laws nor act upon them. And when you look at what they say, they |
Tx:23.38 | The | laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their forms conflict, making it |
Tx:23.38 | above the others. Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the | laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each one |
Tx:23.38 | Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the laws of chaos are the | laws of order as do the others. Each one upholds these laws |
Tx:23.38 | chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each one upholds these | laws completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are true. |
Tx:23.38 | upholds these laws completely, offering a certain witness that these | laws are true. The seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less |

Tx:24.58 | Would you not gladly realize these | laws are not for you? Then see him not as prisoner to them. It cannot |
Tx:24.58 | part of God holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the | laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great the love of God |
Tx:25.24 | God's | laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a |
Tx:25.24 | created by the Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His | laws reflected everywhere. Not that the world where this reflection |

W1:38.1 | Your holiness reverses all the | laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, |
W1:49.1 | part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's | laws. It is this part which is constantly distracted, disorganized, |
W1:53.3 | rules a world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no | laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this |
W1:57.5 | the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the | laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I |
W1:76.1 | have seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you with | laws as senseless as itself. You are not bound by them. Yet to |
W1:76.1 | seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to | laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where |
W1:76.3 | recognition that you are not bound by all the strange and twisted | laws which you have set up to save you. You really think that you |
W1:76.4 | It is insanity that thinks these things. You call them | laws and put them under different names in a long catalogue of |
W1:76.5 | These are not | laws, but madness. The body is endangered by the mind that hurts |
W1:76.6 | There are no | laws except the laws of God. This needs repeating over and over until |
W1:76.6 | There are no laws except the | laws of God. This needs repeating over and over until you realize |
W1:76.7 | The | laws of God can never be replaced. We will devote today to rejoicing |
W1:76.7 | it is a truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the | laws of God set free. The light has come because there are no laws |
W1:76.7 | the laws of God set free. The light has come because there are no | laws but His. |
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 |
W1:76.10 | You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the | laws of God. Payment is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot |
W1:76.10 | are no substitutes, and nothing is replaced by something else. God's | laws forever give and never take. |
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 |
W1:77.2 | Father is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the | laws of God. |
W1:77.4 | you are upholding the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the | laws of this world. They merely follow from the laws of God. |
W1:77.4 | do not obey the laws of this world. They merely follow from the | laws of God. |
W1:88.5 | [76] I am under no | laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am |
W1:88.5 | God's. Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no | laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and |
W1:88.5 | am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other | laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because of my belief |

W1:88.5 | free of the effects of all laws save God's. And His are the | laws of freedom. |
W1:88.7 | My perception of this shows me I believe in | laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of God at work in this. |
W1:88.7 | this shows me I believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the | laws of God at work in this. Let me allow God's laws to work in this |

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 |
M:4.3 | in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the | laws the world made up. It is governed by a Power Which is in them |
M:18.4 | taken from its throne by your mistakes. God reigns forever, and His | laws alone prevail upon you and upon the world. His love remains the |

Tx:8.42 | Every gain in our strength is offered for all, so they too can | lay aside their weakness and add their strength to us. God's welcome |

Tx:10.19 | undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole, He will | lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the Son of |
Tx:10.35 | blaming them. That is why blame must be undone, not re-allocated. | Lay it to yourself and you cannot know yourself, for only the ego |
Tx:11.5 | for his own good. What can this be but projection? For his errors | lay in the minds of his interpreters, for which they punished him. |
Tx:11.22 | import in any way—this is what you will really see. You cannot | lay aside the obstacle to real vision without looking upon it, for to |
Tx:11.22 | aside the obstacle to real vision without looking upon it, for to | lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit |
Tx:12.17 | Do not hide suffering from His sight, but bring it gladly to Him. | Lay before His eternal sanity all your hurt, and let Him heal you. Do |
Tx:12.55 | light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you will | lay aside the world and find another. This other world is bright with |
Tx:12.68 | churches that it builds unto itself. And at its altar it demands you | lay all of the things it bids you get, leaving you no joy in them. |
Tx:13.15 | Lay not his guilt upon him, for his guilt lies in his secret that he | |
Tx:13.22 | In any union with a brother in which you seek to | lay your guilt upon him or share it with him or perceive his own, you |
Tx:13.78 | as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation | lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it for you. He |
Tx:14.33 | valued, He will replace with the one promise given unto Him to | lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God |
Tx:14.37 | with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God for you. | Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for nothing can |
Tx:14.38 | apart from it? The making of time to take the place of timelessness | lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made past, |
Tx:14.46 | holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to | lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this |
Tx:14.56 | hide from the Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would | lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you |
Tx:15.34 | side of His host, for it protects only the peace in which He dwells. | Lay not littleness before His holy altar, which rises above the stars |
Tx:16.71 | think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to | lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the past is gone. You cannot |
Tx:18.20 | source of joy and freedom. It will not be for you alone, for therein | lay its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness |
Tx:19.14 | stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself and both of you. | Lay faithlessness aside and come to it together. There will you see |
Tx:19.39 | gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him and | lay them gently before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. |
Tx:19.78 | to his funeral and hear him laugh at death. The sentence sin would | lay upon him he can escape through your forgiveness. |
Tx:19.85 | Under the dusty edge of its distorted world, the ego would | lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that God |
Tx:20.7 | placed upon it and take it for their own. Here is the value that you | lay upon your brother and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; |
Tx:20.53 | to the holy instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then | lay aside the body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what |
Tx:21.65 | away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you will | lay down the burden of denying truth. This is the burden that is |
Tx:23.4 | attraction. Would you, for all these meaningless distractions, | lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far beyond them in the |
Tx:24.51 | you in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He failed to | lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought within His |
Tx:25.67 | demanded of the ones obsessed with the idea of punishment that they | lay it aside unaided and perceive it is not true? It is extremely |
Tx:26.8 | upon His Son and keeps him safe from all injustices the world would | lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his sins reality and |
Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness brings no little miracles to | lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to |
Tx:26.65 | all His Son's mistakes and set him free. But it is arrogant to | lay aside the power that He gave and choose a little senseless wish |
Tx:26.89 | and from yourself. And each unfairness that the world appears to | lay upon you, you have laid on it by rendering it purposeless, |
Tx:28.10 | You who have sought to | lay a judgment on your own Creator cannot understand it is not He Who |
Tx:29.34 | empty, they received instead a brother's hand in which completion | lay. |
Tx:29.35 | of Himself, would you attack him with the hands of hate? Who would | lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your |
Tx:31.93 | Deny me not the little gift I ask when in exchange I | lay before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace |
W1:3.1 | things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. Try to | lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly as you |
W1:70.7 | again be well to decide in advance when would be a good time to | lay aside for each of them and adhere to your own decision as closely |
W1:72.11 | attacking what we do not recognize. Now we are going to try to | lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan for us is: |
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 |
W1:78.3 | He waits for you behind your grievances, and as you | lay them down, he will appear in shining light where each one stood |
W1:78.5 | select one person you have used as target for your grievances and | lay the grievances aside and look at him. Someone perhaps you fear |
W1:78.6 | grievances that we have held against him, you will learn that what | lay hidden while you saw him not is there in everyone and can be |
W1:85.2 | but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must | lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by |
W1:94.6 | Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to | lay all idols and self-images aside, go past the long list of |
W1:96.17 | you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One Self, you | lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it is given |
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 |
W1:97.6 | open mind that will accept the healing gift they bring, and He will | lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will |
W1:98.2 | How happy to be certain! All our doubts we | lay aside today and take our stand with certainty of purpose and with |
W1:98.13 | is there once more to spend a little time with you, be thankful and | lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, |
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 |
W1:104.6 | to by them, and sought for only in a world of dreams. All this we | lay aside and seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to |
W1:106.1 | If you will | lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you |
W1:R3.12 | Do not repeat it and then | lay it down. Its usefulness is limitless to you. And it is meant to |
W1:120.3 | [110] I am as God created me. I am God's Son. Today I | lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father tell me Who |
W1:128.8 | you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to | lay this chain upon your mind and tell yourself with quiet certainty: |
W1:134.18 | to experiencing the escape from all the heavy chains you sought to | lay upon your brother which were laid upon yourself. |
W1:134.20 | as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I will not | lay this chain upon myself. |
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 |
W1:139.13 | we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we | lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. For |
W1:140.10 | So do we | lay aside our amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits |
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 |
W1:153.21 | to you. Defenselessness is all you need to give Him in return. You | lay aside but what was never real to look on Christ and see His |
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. |
W1:168.5 | is yet the One Who answers our mistakes by giving us the means to | lay them down and rise to Him in gratitude and love. |
W1:170.3 | and by your own defense against it, is it real and inescapable. | Lay down your arms, and only then do you perceive it false. |
W1:170.6 | love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would ask you | lay down all defense as merely foolish. And your arms indeed would |
W1:170.9 | Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and | lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make another |
W1:181.5 | We | lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not look to |
W1:182.11 | Take time today to | lay aside your shield which profits nothing and lay down the spear |
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 |
W1:184.1 | other things by emphasizing space surrounding it. This space you | lay between all things to which you give a different name—all |
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 |
W1:195.8 | then in gratitude, the way of love. For hatred is forgotten when we | lay comparisons aside. What more remains as obstacles to peace? The |
W1:198.1 | have established for yourself can be now used against you till you | lay it down as valueless, unwanted, and unreal. Then does illusion |
W1:200.2 | This is the final point to which each one must come at last, to | lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there is none, of being |
W2:227.1 | affect my own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and | lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my |
W2:280.1 | God is limited at all. No Thought of God but is forever pure. Can I | lay limits on the Son of God, whose Father willed that he be |
W2:280.2 | honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. Father, I | lay no limits on the Son You love and You created limitless. The |
M:4.9 | that may remain impossible for a long, long time. He must learn to | lay all judgment aside and ask only what he really wants in every |
M:10.5 | Therefore | lay judgment down, not with regret but with a sigh of gratitude. Now |
M:20.4 | War is again accepted as the one reality. Now must you once again | lay down your sword, although you may not recognize that you have |

W1:129.11 | your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by | laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon |
W1:183.3 | Repeat God's Name and all the world responds by | laying down illusions. Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly |
M:19.1 | one in the world is capable of making only just interpretations and | laying all injustices aside. If God's Son were fairly judged, there |

lays (16) | ||
Tx:8.88 | which argues for your doing it. I give you no limits because God | lays none upon you. When you limit yourself, we are not of one mind |

Tx:22.37 | the other what impels him to sin against his will. And thus he | lays his sins upon the other and is attracted to him to perpetuate |
Tx:22.55 | Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the error and | lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this |
Tx:22.59 | And let the darkness be dispelled by Him Who knows the light and | lays it gently in each quiet smile of faith and confidence with which |
Tx:22.64 | one? Look not with fear upon this happy fact and think not that it | lays a heavy burden on you. For when you have accepted it with |
Tx:27.5 | loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit | lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a body still, |
Tx:28.36 | And no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father | lays before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their |

Tx:21.59 | Reason cannot see sin but can see errors and | leads to their correction. It does not value them, but their |

Tx:23.27 | The ego values only what it takes. This | leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, |

Tx:30.6 | what you hear may not resolve the problem as you saw it first. This | leads to fear because it contradicts what you perceive, and so you |
Tx:31.20 | we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This brother neither | leads nor follows us but walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is |
Tx:31.23 | journey's goal, which is but to decide to walk with him, so neither | leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not alone. And |
Tx:31.39 | must proceed in its direction, not away from it. And every road that | leads the other way will not advance the purpose to be found. If this |

Tx:1.26 | equilibrium stabilizes, you will be able to teach as much as you | learn, which will give you the proper balance. Meanwhile, remember |

Tx:1.31 | for the Crusade is “Listen, learn and do”: Listen to my voice, | learn to undo error, and do something to correct it. The first two |
Tx:1.75 | be ready, willing, and able. These are the essentials for “listen, | learn, and do.” You must be ready to listen, willing to learn, and |
Tx:1.75 | for “listen, learn, and do.” You must be ready to listen, willing to | learn, and able to do. Only the last is involuntary because it is the |
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:2.39 | like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary. The ability to | learn has no value when change of understanding is no longer |
Tx:2.39 | is no longer necessary. The eternally creative have nothing to | learn. Only after the separation was it necessary to direct the |

Tx:2.66 | It should be emphasized again that the body does not | learn any more than it creates. As a learning device, it merely |
Tx:3.18 | you can accept the one generalization now, there will be no need to | learn from many smaller lessons. |
Tx:4.8 | and can never be in communication. Nevertheless, the ego can | learn because its maker can be misguided but cannot make the totally |
Tx:4.21 | Let us undertake to | learn this lesson together, so we can be free of them together. I |
Tx:4.73 | with some experience, let me remind you that learning and wanting to | learn are inseparable. All learners learn best when they believe that |
Tx:4.73 | you that learning and wanting to learn are inseparable. All learners | learn best when they believe that what they are trying to learn is of |
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:4.73 | in this world are hierarchical, and not everything you may want to | learn has lasting value. |
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:4.74 | to develop but has systematically failed. It may surprise you to | learn that had the ego wished to do so it could have made the eternal |
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:4.91 | me. God will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers. | Learn first of them, and you will be ready to hear God as you hear |
Tx:4.92 | miserable he is without it and bring it near very slowly, so he can | learn how his misery lessens as he approaches it. This conditions him |
Tx:5.20 | that Voice and no other. It takes effort and great willingness to | learn. It is the final lesson that I learned, and God's Sons are as |
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:5.43 | He must work with and for a mind that is in opposition. Correct and | learn and be open to learning. You have not made truth, but truth can |
Tx:5.51 | an earlier point. We said that you will one day teach as much as you | learn and that will keep you in balance. The time is now because you |
Tx:5.51 | balance. The time is now because you have let it be now. You cannot | learn except by teaching. |
Tx:5.55 | until you join it and give it away. As you teach, so shall you | learn. I will never leave you or forsake you, because to forsake you |
Tx:5.55 | brother's keeper. In fact, you do not want to keep him. You must | learn to see him as he is and know that he belongs to God as you do. |
Tx:5.63 | it, is capable of creating reality. We said before that you must | learn to think with God. To think with Him is to think like Him. This |
Tx:5.64 | And you will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but you must | learn to regard it as freedom. The guiltless mind cannot suffer. |
Tx:5.81 | towards the Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you need to | learn now is that only infinite patience can produce immediate |
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:6.13 | not have equal experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can | learn enough from mine to be re-awakened by them. That was their only |
Tx:6.14 | by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy Spirit in others, you can | learn from their experiences and gain from them without experiencing |
Tx:6.24 | limit and must be used for their joint salvation. Each one must | learn to teach that all forms of rejection are utterly meaningless. |
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:6.41 | it is the only lesson which is one. Only by teaching it can you | learn it. “As you teach, so will you learn.” If that is true, and it |
Tx:6.41 | Only by teaching it can you learn it. “As you teach, so will you | learn.” If that is true, and it is true indeed, you must never forget |
Tx:6.43 | exact opposite of everything the ego believes. This is how you will | learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as others |
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:6.59 | what you must avoid to escape from harm so much as what you need to | learn to have joy. This is true even of the world's teachers. |
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:6.78 | To have peace, teach peace to | learn it. |
Tx:6.84 | of other minds, because He does not want you to teach errors and | learn them yourselves. He would hardly be consistent if He allowed |
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:6.84 | This enables the mind to teach without judgment and therefore to | learn to be without judgment. The undoing is necessary only in your |
Tx:6.88 | the Kingdom. You create by what you are, but this is what you must | learn. The way to learn it is inherent in the third step, which |
Tx:6.88 | create by what you are, but this is what you must learn. The way to | learn it is inherent in the third step, which brings together the |
Tx:6.90 | You | learn first that having rests on giving and not on getting. Next you |
Tx:6.90 | learn first that having rests on giving and not on getting. Next you | learn that you learn what you teach and that you want to learn peace. |
Tx:6.90 | having rests on giving and not on getting. Next you learn that you | learn what you teach and that you want to learn peace. This is the |
Tx:6.90 | Next you learn that you learn what you teach and that you want to | learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom |
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:7.14 | is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that you will | learn what you are from what you have projected onto others and |
Tx:7.17 | relinquish one to understand the other. This is the only way you can | learn consistency so that you can finally be consistent. |
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:7.48 | through the ego. This does place you in a position of needing to | learn a lesson which seems contradictory—you must learn to change |
Tx:7.48 | of needing to learn a lesson which seems contradictory—you must | learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you learn |
Tx:7.48 | must learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you | learn that it is changeless. When you heal that is exactly what you |
Tx:7.52 | because you perceive only what is true. Come therefore unto me and | learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our |
Tx:7.76 | love everything He created of which you are a part, or you cannot | learn of His peace and accept His gift for yourself and as yourself. |
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:8.7 | before a real change in direction becomes possible. You cannot | learn simultaneously from two teachers who are in total disagreement |
Tx:8.8 | is. If learning that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must | learn it of Him. The ego does not know what it is trying to teach. It |
Tx:8.8 | the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could | learn nothing from the ego because the ego knows nothing. |
Tx:8.11 | Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to | learn it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you afraid of |
Tx:8.16 | be given you, because it has already been given. Ask for light and | learn that you are light. If you want understanding and |
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:8.24 | to you, because that is what He is. See this glory everywhere to | learn what you are. |
Tx:8.37 | yourself. There is no separation of God and His creation. You will | learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your will and |
Tx:8.37 | is no separation of God and His creation. You will learn this as you | learn that there is no separation of your will and mine. Let the love |
Tx:8.44 | Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and | learn what God's treasure is and yours: This son of a loving father |
Tx:8.52 | is, as His does. You who are beloved of God are wholly blessed. | Learn this of me, and free the holy will of all those who are as |
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:8.80 | a real question is, although it asks an endless number. Yet you can | learn this as you learn to question the value of the ego and thus |
Tx:8.80 | although it asks an endless number. Yet you can learn this as you | learn to question the value of the ego and thus establish your |
Tx:8.91 | It is impossible to | learn anything consistently in a state of panic. If the purpose of |
Tx:8.91 | in a state of panic. If the purpose of this course is to | learn what you are and if you have already decided that what you are |
Tx:8.91 | that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you will not | learn this course. Yet you might remember that the reason for the |
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:9.92 | be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you will | learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving |
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:9.103 | you the means for undoing what you have made. Listen, and you will | learn what you are. |
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:9.104 | And as part of the Sonship, that is how you must see yourself to | learn of yours. |
Tx:9.107 | If you would remember eternity, you must | learn to look only on the eternal. If you allow yourselves to become |
Tx:10.9 | ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will | learn what God has kept for 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:10.86 | with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will | learn of the Father's love for you. |
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:11.50 | 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:11.51 | You who have tried to | learn what you do not will should take heart, for although the |
Tx:11.52 | because it will lead you to God. You can teach the way to Him and | learn it if you follow the Teacher Who knows it and His curriculum |
Tx:11.52 | attention. Everything else will be given you. For it is your will to | learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His |
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:11.86 | pain and in pain. Their growth is attended by suffering, and they | learn of sorrow and separation and death. Their minds are trapped in |
Tx:11.88 | he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need | learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need |
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:13.16 | it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you | learn that it is true for you. Remember always that it is impossible |
Tx:13.19 | change it. Look, then, upon the light He placed within you and | learn that what you feared was there has been replaced with love. |
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 | for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will | learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not be |
Tx:13.43 | is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you will | learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from |
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:13.58 | make the one distinction for you which you cannot make but need to | learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to |
Tx:13.60 | When you teach anyone that truth is true, you | learn it with him. And so you learn that what seemed hardest was the |
Tx:13.60 | teach anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you | learn that what seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy |
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:13.66 | yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness and will not | learn how to be happy. Say therefore to yourself gently, but with the |
Tx:13.70 | By giving power to nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to | learn that nothing has no power. And by not dispelling darkness, he |
Tx:13.72 | mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You will | learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to deny the |
Tx:13.72 | is one. You will learn communication with this oneness only when you | learn to deny the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The |
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 | be forgiven, for this has already been accomplished. Ask, rather, to | learn how to forgive and restore what always was to your unforgiving |
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:14.1 | mind where God Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and | learn how impossible this is! Do not endow Him with attributes you |
Tx:14.9 | exchange can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to | learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of |
Tx:14.9 | not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to | learn from them. |
Tx:14.11 | everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you will inevitably | learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you |
Tx:14.20 | to use on your behalf. You who made it to crucify yourselves must | learn of Him how to apply it to the holy cause of restoration. |
Tx:14.30 | to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you | learn to share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads |
Tx:14.50 | function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It will seem difficult for you to | learn that you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This |
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 |

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 |
W1:72.14 | to close our eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and | learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. |
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 |
W1:106.6 | salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you will | learn your function from the One Who chose it in your Father's Name |
W1:108.6 | To | learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness |
W1:110.2 | as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the world to | learn escape from time and every change that time appears to bring in |
W1: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 |
W1:119.3 | are one in truth. I will forgive all things today, that I may | learn how to accept the truth in me and come to recognize my |
W1:121.6 | than yourself, who represents the other Self in you. Through Him you | learn how to forgive the self you think you made and let it |
W1:121.7 | And as its hope, do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must | learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And |
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 |
W1:127.10 | in strength and health to shed its blessing upon all who come to | learn to cast aside the world they thought was made in hate to be |
W1:127.11 | an hour think of one who makes the journey with you and who came to | learn what you must learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this |
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:R4.7 | Begin each day with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to | learn what each idea you will review that day can offer you in |
W1:151.6 | You believe to doubt his vassals is to doubt yourself. Yet you must | learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize |
W1:153.11 | and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you | learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been |
W1:153.14 | day bring the last chapter closer to the world that everyone may | learn the tales he reads of terrifying destiny, defeat of all his |
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 |
W1:154.12 | Let us but | learn this lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive |
W1:155.3 | yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the choice. They cannot | learn directly from the truth because they have denied that it is so. |
W1:157.1 | You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. Today you | learn to feel the joy of life. |
W1:157.2 | that we have learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to | learn. It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a |
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 |
W1:161.4 | sense that it is all-encompassing. We need to see a little that we | learn a lot. |
W1:162.4 | giving, kept complete because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you | learn to think with God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by |
W1:166.12 | are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you now must | learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He has |
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 |
W2:349.1 | accept gives me a miracle to give. And giving as I would receive, I | learn Your healing miracles belong to me. |
W2:WAI.5 | Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we | learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are |
W2:359.1 | so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to | learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. |
W2:FL.6 | to Him and say we did not understand and ask Him to help us to | learn His lessons through the Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt |
M:I.1 | time. The course, on the other hand, emphasizes that to teach is to | learn, so that teacher and learner are the same. It also emphasizes |
M:I.2 | or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration, others | learn and so do you. The question is not whether you will teach, for |
M:I.2 | of choosing what you want to teach on the basis of what you want to | learn. You cannot give to someone else, and this you learn through |
M:I.2 | you want to learn. You cannot give to someone else, and this you | learn through teaching. Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest |
M:I.3 | of any situation on behalf of what you really teach and therefore | learn. To this the verbal content of your teaching is quite |
M:2.1 | waits on his choice but not whom he will serve. When he is ready to | learn, the opportunities to teach will be provided for him. |
M:2.3 | not free to choose the curriculum or even the form in which you will | learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to learn it. |
M:2.3 | you will learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to | learn it. And as you accept it, it is already learned. |
M:2.5 | from one another fade and grow dim and disappear. Those who would | learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he |
M:3.1 | of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a teacher of God cannot | learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach. However, from a |
M:3.4 | situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved will | learn the most that he can from the other person at that time. In |
M:3.5 | other for some time, and perhaps for life. Yet should they decide to | learn it, the perfect lesson is before them and can be learned. And |
M:3.5 | lesson is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to | learn that lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter |
M:4.7 | realized as yet how wholly impossible such a demand would be. He can | learn this only as he actually does give up the valueless. Through |
M:4.9 | a state that may remain impossible for a long, long time. He must | learn to lay all judgment aside and ask only what he really wants in |
M:4.13 | honesty and shatters trust. No teacher of God can judge and hope to | learn. |
M:4.14 | and its replacement by insanity. No teacher of God but must | learn—and fairly early in his training—that harmfulness |
M:4.14 | and suspicious. It will make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to | learn. Nor can God's Teacher be heard at all except by those who |
M:13.1 | all lessons, it is an illusion, for in reality there is nothing to | learn. Yet this illusion must be replaced by a corrective device, |
M:13.8 | of everything. What would you teach? Remember only what you would | learn. For it is here that your concern should be. Atonement is for |
M:13.8 | it, and your learning gives it. The world contains it not, but | learn this course and it is yours. God holds out His Word to you, for |
M:14.3 | of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the teacher of God must | learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin perfectly forgiven by one |
M:14.4 | of the teacher of God in this concluding lesson? He need merely | learn how to approach it, to be willing to go in its direction. He |
M:14.4 | 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 hard or easy. |
M:14.4 | 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 hard or easy. His Teacher |
M:14.4 | His Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will show him how to | learn it. |
M:14.5 | would have you do, you can do. Do not be arrogant and say you cannot | learn His own curriculum. His Word says otherwise. His Will be done. |
M:15.3 | in yourself? Or do you still attempt to take His role from Him? | Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. And His |
M:16.1 | And those who share that role with him will find him, so they can | learn the lessons for the day together. Not one is absent whom he |
M:16.2 | for such lack of structuring on their own part. What must they do to | learn to give the day to God? There are some general rules which do |
M:16.11 | day and hour, and even every minute and second, must God's teachers | learn to recognize the forms of magic and perceive their |
M:17.1 | not this that he would teach, because it is not this that he would | learn. |
M:18.2 | God's teachers’ major lesson is to | learn how to react to magic thoughts wholly without anger. Only in |
M:20.4 | you may not recognize that you have picked it up again. But you will | learn, as you remember even faintly now what happiness was yours |
M:21.4 | as yet unable to hear in silence. The teacher of God must, however, | learn to use words in a new way. Gradually, he learns how to let his |
M:23.5 | shines in perfect constancy. He has remained with you. Would you not | learn the lesson of salvation through his learning? Why would you |
M:23.6 | There have been those whose learning far exceeds what you can | learn. Nor would we teach the limitations we have laid on us. No one |
M:24.4 | to step away from all such questions, for he has much to teach and | learn apart from them. He should both learn and teach that |
M:24.4 | for he has much to teach and learn apart from them. He should both | learn and teach that theoretical issues but waste time, draining it |
M:24.5 | the idea that what he knows is not necessarily all there is to | learn. His journey has begun. |

Tx:7.40 | can act like the mind and is therefore self-sufficient. Yet we have | learned that behavior is not the level for either teaching or |

Tx:8.1 | course. Peace is. As the prerequisite for knowledge, peace must be | learned. This is only because those who are in conflict are not |
Tx:8.11 | that you want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be | learned, but the attempt to learn it is a violation of your own |
Tx:8.13 | you, because it is not God's Will to be without you. When you have | learned that your will is God's, you could no more will to be without |
Tx:8.32 | How else can it be, if God's Kingdom is freedom? Freedom cannot be | learned by tyranny of any kind, and the perfect equality of all God's |
Tx:8.49 | not hide it. He has revealed it to me, because I asked it of Him and | learned of what He had already given. Our function is to function |
Tx:9.13 | because they speak of ideas which are eternal. Forgiveness that is | learned of me does not use fear to undo fear. Nor does it make real |
Tx:9.36 | in eternity, where they cannot be separated. When you have | learned that they are the same, the need for time is over. |
Tx:10.5 | You have | learned your need of healing. Would you bring anything else to the |
Tx:10.19 | him? And yet the invitation must come from you, for you have surely | learned that whom you invite as your guest will abide with you. |
Tx:10.40 | you will be looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely | learned by now that fear is not real. We have accepted the fact |
Tx:10.61 | beliefs, [and with them, different perceptions. For perceptions are | learned with beliefs,] and experience teaches. I am leading you to a |
Tx:10.76 | accept it, for understanding is your inheritance. Perceptions are | learned, and you are not without a Teacher. Yet your willingness to |
Tx:10.76 | of Him depends on your willingness to question everything you have | learned of yourself, for you who have learned amiss should not be |
Tx:10.76 | question everything you have learned of yourself, for you who have | learned amiss should not be your own teachers. |
Tx:11.10 | to you in learning to perceive attack as a call for love. We have | learned surely that fear and attack are inevitably associated. If |
Tx:11.24 | you are among them. Consider how perfectly your lesson would be | learned if you were unwilling to share their poverty. For poverty is |
Tx:11.48 | lead to successful learning. You cannot transfer what you have not | learned, and the impairment of the ability to generalize is a crucial |
Tx:11.48 | For if they could interpret the aids correctly, they would have | learned from them. |
Tx:11.61 | the right guidance, for learning is invisible, and what has been | learned can be recognized only by its results. Its generalization is |
Tx:11.61 | use it in more and more situations. You will recognize that you have | learned there is no order of difficulty in miracles when you have |
Tx:12.46 | Yet this is unnatural because it is delusional. When you have | learned to look upon everyone with no reference at all to the past, |
Tx:12.64 | you follow Him, you will rejoice that you have found His company and | learned of Him the joyful journey home. You wait but for yourself. To |
Tx:13.8 | your brothers as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having | learned to free yourself of Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me |
Tx:13.40 | for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have | learned this, you will find the answer that makes the need for any |
Tx:13.40 | disappear. Truth comes of its own will unto its own. When you have | learned that you belong to truth, it will flow lightly over you |
Tx:13.45 | The Holy Spirit cannot fail to undo for you everything you have | learned that teaches you what is not true must be reconciled with |
Tx:13.61 | you would be a happy learner, you must give everything that you have | learned over to the Holy Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then |
Tx:13.92 | When you have | learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as |
Tx:14.9 | it. Who is there but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet have | learned how to exchange his guilt for innocence nor realize that only |
Tx:14.45 | is healing, without regard for what is brought to it. Those who have | learned to offer only healing because of the reflection of holiness |
Tx:14.57 | you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have already | learned that this identity is shared. The miracle becomes the means |
Tx:14.60 | learning gives the present no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever | learned can help you understand the present or teach you how to undo |
Tx:14.61 | abandon you. And so you have another lesson sent from Him, already | learned for every Child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This |
Tx:14.62 | And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has | learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart |
Tx:14.62 | He has learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have | learned apart from Him means anything. |
Tx:14.63 | You have one test, as sure as God, by which to recognize if what you | learned is true. If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if |
Tx:14.63 | you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have | learned God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there |
Tx:14.64 | part is very simple. You need only recognize that everything you | learned you do not want. Ask to be taught and do not use your |
Tx:14.64 | be taught and do not use your experiences to confirm what you have | learned. When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any way, say |
Tx:15.31 | learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I | learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but teach you what |
Tx:15.32 | nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I | learned is yours. What my Father loves, I love as He does, and I can |
Tx:15.32 | it as what it is not than He can. And no more can you. When you have | learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to offer |
Tx:15.46 | is the ego's chief learning device, for it is in the past that you | learned to define your own needs and acquired methods for meeting |
Tx:15.76 | And despite the evident insanity of this lesson, you have | learned it. |
Tx:16.3 | it in your own way. You do not know what healing is. All you have | learned of empathy is from the past. And there is nothing from the |
Tx:16.10 | cannot see how it can be extended to include everyone. And you have | learned that it must include everyone to be holy. Concern yourselves |
Tx:16.21 | You have taught well, and yet you have not | learned how to accept the comfort of your teaching. If you will |
Tx:16.22 | You have taught freedom, but you have not | learned how to be free. We once said, “By their fruits ye shall know |
Tx:16.23 | Does not the fact that you have not | learned what you have taught show you that you do not perceive the |
Tx:16.24 | Yet within you is everything you taught. What can it be that has not | learned it? It must be this that is really outside yourself, not by |
Tx:16.26 | it. But with them you must learn that you but taught yourself and | learned from the conviction you shared with them. |
Tx:17.9 | accomplishment of all in God's plan of Atonement. All else is | learned, but this is given, complete and wholly perfect. No one but |
Tx:17.9 | himself, the real perception, born of the new perspective he has | learned, has served its purpose. |
Tx:17.44 | a major step toward the perception of the real world, is | learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed and seen anew. |
Tx:17.56 | free you from their results. And learning this, you will have also | learned how to release all the Sonship and offer it in gladness and |
Tx:18.66 | of success. This course does not attempt to teach more than they | learned in time, but it does aim at saving time. You are attempting |
Tx:18.96 | Love is not | learned. Its meaning lies in itself. And learning ends when you have |
Tx:18.96 | is the interference; that is what needs to be undone. Love is not | learned because there never was a time in which you knew it not. |
Tx:18.96 | and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that everything you | learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the knowledge of love and |
Tx:19.15 | is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been | learned. Yet truth will stay forever. |
Tx:19.98 | the fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and | learned illusions are not real. No one can stand before this obstacle |
Tx:20.31 | all temptation to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is of them who | learned of freedom that you should ask what freedom is. Ask not the |
Tx:20.56 | value now to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have | learned you really want but one. This is no time for sadness. Perhaps |
Tx:20.65 | through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is | learned from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see |
Tx:21.5 | deny. Your question is whether the means by which this course is | learned will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it |
Tx:21.5 | that vision gives you more than judgment does, and you have | learned that both you cannot have. |
Tx:21.6 | adjustments to it. They think they know their way about in it. They | learned it, not through joyous lessons, but through the stern |
Tx:21.6 | blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the world they | learned to “see” in their imagination, believing that their choice is |
Tx:21.6 | that their choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they | learned through pain. And everything they think is in it serves to |
Tx:21.9 | remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the world you | learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the world you |
Tx:21.9 | learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the world you | learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you remember an |

Tx:21.85 | the thinker that he can be killed. And so he dies because of what he | learned. He goes from life to death, the final proof he valued the |
Tx:22.44 | it for himself could find it difficult. For by receiving it, he | learned it was not given him alone. Such is the function of a holy |
Tx:23.13 | their little reach. You will remember what you know when you have | learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion about yourself can |
Tx:24.69 | This course makes no attempt to teach what cannot easily be | learned. Its scope does not exceed your own, except to say that what |
Tx:27.40 | represent the questions, they add nothing new, and nothing has been | learned. |
Tx:27.49 | that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has perfectly been | learned. And then when you forget it will the world remind you gently |
Tx:27.86 | unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson | learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes. |
Tx:27.87 | repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has been | learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain. |
Tx:27.89 | rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson truly | learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. The |
Tx:30.61 | perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a state in which the mind has | learned how easily do idols go when they are still perceived, but |
Tx:30.73 | upon itself. If you can see your brother merits pardon, you have | learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you think |
Tx:30.85 | and everything you see. You do not have to judge, for you have | learned one meaning has been given everything, and you are glad to |
Tx:31.3 | No one who understands what you have | learned, how carefully you have learned it, and the pains to which |
Tx:31.3 | No one who understands what you have learned, how carefully you have | learned it, and the pains to which you went to practice and repeat |
Tx:31.4 | Who could maintain that lessons such as these are easy? Yet you have | learned more than this. You have continued, taking every step, |
Tx:31.5 | than It. And this has learning sought to demonstrate, and you have | learned what it was made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning |
Tx:31.7 | The lessons to be | learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And |
Tx:31.11 | hear, you answer. And behold! Your answer is the proof of what you | learned. Its outcome is the world you look upon. |
Tx:31.12 | Let us be still an instant and forget all things we ever | learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception which we hold |
Tx:31.16 | role of leadership. And this is what you made your brother for and | learned to think that this his purpose is. Unless he serves it, he |
Tx:31.21 | Think not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you | learned about this Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all |
Tx:31.22 | Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever | learned before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall |
Tx:31.35 | nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this was the time they could have | learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go |
Tx:31.36 | to try another road, another person, or another place when you have | learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is |
Tx:31.36 | and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you have | learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point will |
Tx:31.49 | Concepts are | learned. They are not natural. Apart from learning, they do not |
Tx:31.51 | ease at times and some distress, there is no shattering of what was | learned, but just a re-translation of what seems to be the evidence |
Tx:31.51 | you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you surely | learned by now that you behave as if it were. Does he react for you? |
Tx:31.77 | that can be miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has | learned to see his brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is |
W1:7.9 | if you drop it? What do you know about this cup except what you | learned in the past? You would have no idea what this cup is except |
W1:R1.4 | learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have | learned. You will need it most in situations which appear to be |
W1:64.2 | since this was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have | learned that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions |
W1:98.4 | who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they | learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too will join |
W1:106.7 | given away, it will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been | learned. |
W1:R3.9 | and then go on your way to other things without applying what you | learned to them. As a result, you have gained little reinforcement |
W1:R3.14 | Do not forget how little you have | learned. Do not forget how much you can learn now. Do not forget your |
W1:121.6 | sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be | learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, who |
W1:121.12 | your mind to one you call a friend. Try to transfer the light you | learned to see around your former “enemy” to him. Perceive him now as |
W1:133.1 | what seems theoretical and far from what the student has already | learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do |
W1:135.17 | The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has | learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past |
W1:138.3 | There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished; nothing | learned. |
W1:138.5 | Choosing depends on learning. But the truth cannot be | learned but only recognized. In recognition its acceptance lies, and |
W1:151.2 | the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even though you | learned a long while since your senses do deceive. That you believe |
W1:153.11 | His Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have | learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the world in grim |
W1:157.2 | now—a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have | learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It |
W1:158.2 | which you give, for that is what creation gave. All this cannot be | learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today? Our lesson |

W1:167.2 | be a state that is life's opposite. You call it death. Yet we have | learned that the idea of death takes many forms. It is the one idea |
W1:169.3 | Grace is not | learned. The final step must go beyond all learning. Grace is not the |

W1:185.6 | no form in which the lesson will meet with acceptance and be truly | learned. |
W1:187.2 | thing away, your body's eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have | learned that things but represent the thoughts that make them. And |
W1:189.7 | all thoughts of what you are and what God is, all concepts you have | learned about the world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty |

W1:R6.1 | of these ideas alone would be sufficient for salvation, if it were | learned truly. Each would be enough to give release to you and to the |
W2:300.2 | have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice and | learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true |

Tx:2.65 | the miracle worker releases the mind from over-evaluating its own | learning device (the body) and restores the mind to its true position |
Tx:2.66 | again that the body does not learn any more than it creates. As a | learning device, it merely follows the learner, but if it is falsely |
Tx:2.66 | with self-initiative, it becomes a serious obstruction to the very | learning it should facilitate. Only the mind is capable of |
Tx:2.66 | the opposite of intelligence and therefore unamenable to independent | learning. It is, however, easily brought into alignment with a mind |
Tx:2.67 | Corrective | learning always begins with the awakening of the Spiritual eye and |
Tx:2.106 | however, there was a place for judgment as one of the many | learning devices which had to be built into the overall plan. Just as |
Tx:3.1 | This is a course in mind training. All | learning involves attention and study at some level. Some of the |
Tx:3.21 | this results in rejection of what the teacher offers. The result is | learning failure. |
Tx:4.7 | them by teaching them. Teacher and pupil are alike in the | learning process. They are in the same order of learning, and unless |
Tx:4.7 | are alike in the learning process. They are in the same order of | learning, and unless they share their lessons, they will lack |
Tx:4.7 | because they want to protect their thought systems as they are, and | learning means change. Change is always fearful to the separated ones |
Tx:4.9 | The ultimate reason why | learning is perceived as frightening is because learning does lead to |
Tx:4.9 | ultimate reason why learning is perceived as frightening is because | learning does lead to the relinquishment (not destruction) of the ego |
Tx:4.10 | Teaching and | learning are your greatest strengths now, because you must change |
Tx:4.14 | Your worth is not established by your teaching or your | learning. Your worth was established by God. As long as you dispute |
Tx:4.14 | learned. I am willing to do this because I have no right to set your | learning limits for you. Once again—nothing you do or think or wish |
Tx:4.73 | in mind. As a teacher with some experience, let me remind you that | learning and wanting to learn are inseparable. All learners learn |
Tx:4.77 | favorite ego devices for impeding the strong-willed from making real | learning progress. The problems of squaring the circle and carrying |
Tx:4.85 | is always involved or you would not believe that you are here. In | learning to escape from the illusions you have made, your great debt |
Tx:5.12 | is at last possible. Transfer depends on common elements in the old | learning and the new situation to which it is transferred. Perception |
Tx:5.27 | resembles true creation. You understand the role of “models” in the | learning process and the importance of the models you value and |
Tx:5.43 | for a mind that is in opposition. Correct and learn and be open to | learning. You have not made truth, but truth can still set you free. |
Tx:5.52 | I heard one voice because I had learned that | learning is attained by teaching. I understood that I could not atone |
Tx:5.82 | is merely redundant. We have repeatedly said that time is a | learning device which will be abolished when it is no longer useful. |
Tx:5.86 | The concept of fixation as Freud saw it has a number of | learning advantages. First, it recognizes that man can be fixated at |
Tx:6.2 | what you believe. You have been asked to take me as your model for | learning, since an extreme example is a particularly helpful learning |
Tx:6.2 | for learning, since an extreme example is a particularly helpful | learning device. Everyone teaches and teaches all the time. This is a |
Tx:6.4 | like the value of any teaching device, lies solely in the kind of | learning it facilitates. It can be and has been misunderstood. This |
Tx:6.6 | is fully understood as only that, I cannot serve as a real model for | learning. |
Tx:6.16 | you will have learned of me and will be as eager to share your | learning as I am. The crucifixion cannot be shared, because it is the |
Tx:6.39 | and being are examples, to which we can also add teaching and being, | learning and being and, above all, projecting and being. This is |
Tx:6.40 | because you are sharing it. Every lesson you teach you are | learning. |
Tx:6.43 | in any form, and you have learned it, and it will hurt you. Yet your | learning is not immortal, and you can unlearn it by not teaching it. |
Tx:6.43 | learn it of you. The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By | learning it through projection, it becomes a part of what you know, |
Tx:6.44 | the conviction of teaching. Remember that, if teaching is being and | learning is being, [then] teaching is learning. Everything you teach, |
Tx:6.44 | that, if teaching is being and learning is being, [then] teaching is | learning. Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach only love, |
Tx:6.44 | is being, [then] teaching is learning. Everything you teach, you are | learning. Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and you are |
Tx:6.49 | to persuade the mind, which is real, that the mind is its own | learning device and that the learning device is more real than it is. |
Tx:6.49 | which is real, that the mind is its own learning device and that the | learning device is more real than it is. No one in his right mind |
Tx:6.62 | Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it into a | learning device for you. Again as always, He re-interprets what the |
Tx:6.75 | surely do as long as you accept both, you are teaching conflict and | learning it. Yet you do want peace, or you would not have called upon |
Tx:6.92 | Transfer, which is extension, is a measure of | learning, because it is its measurable result. This, however, does |
Tx:6.92 | is immeasurable because it was created by the Immeasurable, the | learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the whole Sonship |
Tx:7.14 | form, since outside the Kingdom teaching is mandatory, because | learning is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that you |
Tx:7.14 | therefore believe they are. In the Kingdom there is no teaching or | learning, because there is no belief. There is only certainty. God |
Tx:7.16 | knowledge of what truth is. This is your inheritance and requires no | learning at all, but when you disinherited yourselves, you became |
Tx:7.17 | No one questions the intimate connection of | learning and memory. Learning is impossible without memory, since it |
Tx:7.17 | No one questions the intimate connection of learning and memory. | Learning is impossible without memory, since it cannot be consistent |
Tx:7.21 | or divided. Yet one thing is certain—abilities are potentials for | learning, and you will apply them to what you want to learn. Learning |
Tx:7.21 | for learning, and you will apply them to what you want to learn. | Learning is effort, and effort means will. We have used the term |
Tx:7.22 | made to teach the opposite of what the ego has learned. The kind of | learning is as irrelevant as is the particular ability which was |
Tx:7.22 | as irrelevant as is the particular ability which was applied to the | learning. You could not have a better example of the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:7.22 | course. The Holy Spirit has taken very diversified areas of your | learning and has applied them to a unified curriculum. The fact that |
Tx:7.22 | unified curriculum. The fact that this was not the ego's reason for | learning is totally irrelevant. |
Tx:7.35 | knows you only as whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by | learning of wholeness you learn to remember God. You have forgotten |
Tx:7.40 | have learned that behavior is not the level for either teaching or | learning. This must be so, since you can act in accordance with what |
Tx:7.47 | equally desirable in return. His teaching is limited, because he is | learning so little. His healing lesson is limited by his own |
Tx:7.47 | is limited by his own ingratitude, which is a lesson in sickness. | Learning is constant and so vital in its power for change that a Son |
Tx:7.48 | that it is changeless. When you heal that is exactly what you are | learning. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your brother by |
Tx:7.106 | miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by offering truth you are | learning the difference between pain and joy. |
Tx:8.1 | is implicit in your objection. Knowledge is not the motivation for | learning this course. Peace is. As the prerequisite for knowledge, |
Tx:8.2 | allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to interfere with your | learning, but the ego has no power to distract you unless you give it |
Tx:8.4 | you cannot understand the state which prevails within it. Your past | learning must have taught you the wrong things simply because it has |
Tx:8.5 | If | learning aims at change, and that is always its purpose, are you |
Tx:8.5 | that is always its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your | learning has brought you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must |
Tx:8.5 | with the changes your learning has brought you? Dissatisfaction with | learning outcomes must be a sign of learning failure since it means |
Tx:8.5 | you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must be a sign of | learning failure since it means that you did not get what you want. |
Tx:8.7 | about everything. Their joint curriculum presents an impossible | learning task. They are teaching you entirely different things in |
Tx:8.8 | for choice. Only one Teacher knows what your reality is. If | learning that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must learn it of |
Tx:8.9 | it as your future teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm to your | learning than this alone. Learning is joyful if it leads you along |
Tx:8.9 | Yet the ego has done more harm to your learning than this alone. | Learning is joyful if it leads you along your natural path and |
Tx:8.9 | you are taught against your nature, however, you will lose by your | learning because your learning will imprison you. Your will is in |
Tx:8.9 | your nature, however, you will lose by your learning because your | learning will imprison you. Your will is in your nature and therefore |
Tx:8.16 | light and can therefore teach it to you. There is no limit on your | learning, because there is no limit on your minds. There is no limit |
Tx:8.21 | Whenever you are with a brother, you are | learning what you are because you are teaching what you are. He will |
Tx:8.60 | and he must become depressed. Being faced with an impossible | learning situation, regardless of why it is impossible, is the most |
Tx:8.60 | because it is a curriculum of joy. Whenever the reaction to | learning is depression, it is only because the goal of the curriculum |
Tx:8.64 | One Light in Which it can be really understood at all. To confuse a | learning device with a curriculum goal is a fundamental confusion. |
Tx:8.64 | a learning device with a curriculum goal is a fundamental confusion. | Learning can hardly be arrested at its own aids with hope of |
Tx:8.64 | of understanding either the aids or the learning's real purpose. | Learning must lead beyond the body to the reestablishment of the |
Tx:8.65 | is the mind's function. The opposite of joy is depression. When your | learning promotes depression instead of joy, you cannot be listening |
Tx:8.65 | you cannot be listening to God's joyous Teacher, and you must be | learning amiss. To see a body as anything except a means of pure |
Tx:8.66 | Are you willing to accept this, when your whole purpose for | learning should be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the |
Tx:8.66 | is a clear-cut indication of a poor learner. He has accepted a | learning goal in obvious contradiction to the unified purpose of the |
Tx:8.77 | A | learning device is not a teacher. It cannot tell you how you feel. |
Tx:8.77 | because you have accepted the ego's confusion, and you think that a | learning device can tell you how you feel. Sickness is merely another |
Tx:9.8 | learn this, but you do need to learn to want this, and for this all | learning was made. This is the Holy Spirit's good use of an ability |
Tx:9.8 | it. He will teach you how to see yourself without condemnation by | learning how to look on everything without it. Condemnation will then |
Tx:9.29 | course is a guide to behavior. Being a very direct and very simple | learning situation, it provides the Guide who tells you what to do. |
Tx:9.33 | will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you are, and your | learning is the result of what you taught them. What you call upon in |
Tx:10.50 | God's purpose could be defeated, and this is impossible. Only by | learning what fear is, can you finally learn to distinguish the |
Tx:10.61 | of experience, which you will become less and less willing to deny. | Learning of Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no |
Tx:11.10 | it, He will reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in | learning to perceive attack as a call for love. We have learned |
Tx:11.23 | organized, well-structured, and carefully planned program aimed at | learning how to offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not want. |
Tx:11.46 | is not of you, and poor learners need special teaching. You have | learning handicaps in a very literal sense. |
Tx:11.47 | There are areas in your | learning skills which are so impaired that you can progress only |
Tx:11.47 | He becomes your resource because, of yourself, you cannot learn. The | learning situation in which you placed yourself is impossible, and in |
Tx:11.48 | try to set up curriculum goals where yours have clearly failed. Your | learning goal has been not to learn, and this cannot lead to |
Tx:11.48 | goal has been not to learn, and this cannot lead to successful | learning. You cannot transfer what you have not learned, and the |
Tx:11.48 | and the impairment of the ability to generalize is a crucial | learning failure. Would you ask those who have failed to learn what |
Tx:11.48 | learning failure. Would you ask those who have failed to learn what | learning aids are for? They do not know. For if they could interpret |
Tx:11.49 | teaching aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to | learning will be misinterpreted. For they are all for learning |
Tx:11.49 | guide to learning will be misinterpreted. For they are all for | learning facilitation, which this strange curriculum goal is against. |
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 | made this goal believable. And you can not overcome it, for all your | learning is on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your |
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:11.51 | and of the learning outcomes which have resulted. Under the proper | learning conditions, which you can neither provide nor understand, |
Tx:11.51 | teachers. But it is not so yet and will not be so until the whole | learning situation as you have set it up is reversed. |
Tx:11.52 | Your | learning potential, properly understood, is limitless because it will |
Tx:11.52 | it if you follow the Teacher Who knows it and His curriculum for | learning it. The curriculum is totally unambiguous because the goal |
Tx:11.52 | to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His | learning is as unlimited as he is. |
Tx:11.59 | identical. [Only the ability to make this transfer is the product of | learning.] As you perceive more and more common elements in all |
Tx:11.61 | Miracles demonstrate that | learning has occurred under the right guidance, for learning is |
Tx:11.61 | demonstrate that learning has occurred under the right guidance, for | learning is invisible, and what has been learned can be recognized |
Tx:12.7 | and you still lack faith in it. You must, then, believe that by not | learning the course, you are protecting yourself. And you do not |
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:13.62 | The happy learner meets the conditions of | learning here, as he also meets the conditions of knowledge in the |
Tx:13.64 | Learning will be commensurate with motivation, and the interference | |
Tx:13.64 | with motivation, and the interference in your motivation for | learning is exactly the same as that which interferes with all your |
Tx:13.64 | with all your thinking. The happy learner cannot feel guilty about | learning. This is so essential to learning that it should never be |
Tx:13.64 | learner cannot feel guilty about learning. This is so essential to | learning that it should never be forgotten. The guiltless learner |
Tx:13.66 | make with guilt and escape the pain which only guiltlessness allays. | Learning is living here, as creating is being in Heaven. Whenever the |
Tx:13.70 | darkness, he became afraid of darkness and of light. The joy of | learning that darkness has no power over the Son of God is the happy |
Tx:13.87 | but cannot know that you are one with Him. This need not be taught. | Learning applies only to the condition in which it happens of itself. |
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:14.58 | all that stands between you and the power of God in you is but your | learning of the false and your attempts to undo the true. |
Tx:14.60 | taught yourselves in the past by showing you only what you are now. | Learning has been accomplished before its effects are manifest. |
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:14.72 | they will not learn. They have destroyed their motivation for | learning by thinking they already know. Think not you understand |
Tx:15.1 | cannot be satisfied with His teaching until it constitutes all your | learning. He has not fulfilled His teaching function until you have |
Tx:15.16 | gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you will let go all your past | learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson |
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:15.79 | The holy instant does not replace the need for | learning, for the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher |
Tx:16.22 | effect are very clear in the ego's thought system because all your | learning has been directed towards establishing the relationship |
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:18.95 | it but in a different way. Where learning ends there God begins, for | learning ends before Him Who is complete where He begins and where |
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:19.15 | the process of making lovely which they begin. For faith is still a | learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet |
Tx:20.56 | learn relationships are his salvation and not his doom. You who are | learning this may still be fearful, but you are not immobilized. The |
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:25.10 | in the condition in which it thinks it is. And It must use all | learning to transfer illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas |
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:26.31 | it going nowhere when it can be used to reach a goal as high as | learning can achieve? Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult |
Tx:26.36 | [Forgiveness is the great release from time. It is the key to | learning that the past is over. Madness speaks no more. There is no |
Tx:27.33 | of pictures possible until the time when aids are meaningless and | learning done. No learning aid has use which can extend beyond the |
Tx:27.33 | until the time when aids are meaningless and learning done. No | learning aid has use which can extend beyond the goal of learning. |
Tx:27.33 | done. No learning aid has use which can extend beyond the goal of | learning. When its aim has been accomplished, it is functionless. Yet |
Tx:27.33 | When its aim has been accomplished, it is functionless. Yet in the | learning interval it has a use which now you fear, but yet will love. |
Tx:27.34 | take the final step Himself. [For this you need no pictures and no | learning aids.] And what will ultimately take the place of every |
Tx:27.34 | no learning aids.] And what will ultimately take the place of every | learning aid will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, |
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:31.1 | just what to do if you become confused. Why then do you persist in | learning not such simple things? |
Tx:31.2 | and understand. What you have taught yourselves is such a giant | learning feat it is indeed incredible. But you accomplished it |
Tx:31.3 | form you could conceive of them could ever doubt the power of your | learning skill. There is no greater power in the world. The world was |
Tx:31.4 | that makes up the world arises from the first accomplishment of | learning—an enormity so great the Holy Spirit's Voice seems small |
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:31.5 | opposed to what is really true. Yet you will learn them, for their | learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit |
Tx:31.5 | you will learn them, for their learning is the only purpose for your | learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His simple |
Tx:31.6 | as God, and far beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your little | learning, strange in outcome and incredible in difficulty, will |
Tx:31.6 | taught to you in every moment of each day, since time began and | learning had been made? |
Tx:31.7 | here and hope to find. Yet this is not the only outcome which your | learning can produce. However much you may have overlearned your |
Tx:31.12 | with him. Now is he free to live, as you are free because an ancient | learning passed away and left a place for truth to be reborn. |
Tx:31.29 | And it grows old and dies because that mind is sick within itself. | Learning is all that causes change. And so the body, where no |
Tx:31.29 | Learning is all that causes change. And so the body, where no | learning can occur, could never change unless the mind preferred the |
Tx:31.35 | they saw no way except the pathways offered by the world. And | learning they led nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this was the time |
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:31.36 | learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point will | learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the purpose of |
Tx:31.36 | the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your | learning grasp. |
Tx:31.37 | of decision can he use? The great release of power must begin with | learning where it really has a use. And what decision has power if it |
Tx:31.38 | The | learning that the world can offer but one choice, no matter what its |
Tx:31.43 | The | learning of the world is built upon a concept of the self adjusted to |
Tx:31.43 | is one with it. The building of a concept of the self is what the | learning of the world is for. This is its purpose—that you come |
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 |
Tx:31.57 | but with yourself. To see a guilty world is but the sign your | learning has been guided by the world, and you behold it as you see |
Tx:31.58 | You will make many concepts of the self as | learning goes along. Each one will show the changes in your own |
Tx:31.58 | confusion every time there is a shift, but be you thankful that the | learning of the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be |
Tx:31.61 | Yet in this | learning is salvation born. And what you are will tell you of Itself. |

W1:18.1 | The idea for today is another step in | learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are never |

W1:25.5 | It is crucial to your | learning to be willing to give up the goals you have established for |
W1:R1.4 | This is emphasized particularly for reviews at your stage of | learning. It will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no |
W1:R1.5 | The purpose of your | learning is to enable you to bring the quiet with you and to heal |

W1:62.2 | your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are | learning how to remember the truth. For this, attack must be replaced |

W1:105.3 | gifts you give and leaves you nothing in the ones you take. A major | learning goal this course has set is to reverse your view of giving, |
W1:106.12 | away, so you can teach the world what giving means by listening and | learning it of Him. Do not forget today to reinforce your choice to |

W1:121.8 | will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night another ten to | learning how to give forgiveness and receive forgiveness too. |
W1:133.14 | What is the gain to you in | learning this? It is far more than merely letting you make choices |
W1:135.16 | own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by | learning and experience obtained from past events and previous |

W1:169.1 | leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of | learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for |
W1:169.3 | Grace is not learned. The final step must go beyond all | learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to attain. Yet we |
W1:169.7 | offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means. All | learning was already in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He |
W1:169.14 | Our | learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the world, |
W1:184.5 | alien names and thousands more. Yet you believe this is what | learning means—its one essential goal by which communication is |
W1:184.7 | Such is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of | learning everyone who comes must go through. But the sooner he |
W1:184.7 | how doubtful its results, the sooner does he question its effects. | Learning which stops with what the world would teach stops short of |
W1:184.7 | place, it serves but as a starting point from which another kind of | learning can begin, a new perception can be gained, and all the |
W1:184.10 | Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the | learning of the world becomes a transitory phase—a prison house |
W1:184.12 | the final lesson that all things are one, and at this single lesson | learning ends. All names are unified; all space is filled with |
W1:192.5 | perceived as what it is—a simple teaching aid to be laid by when | learning is complete, but hardly changing him who learns at all. The |
W1:193.1 | God does not know of | learning. Yet His Will extends to what He does not understand in that |
W1:193.7 | is the content underneath the form. It is this sameness which makes | learning sure because the lesson is so simple that it cannot be |
W1:194.6 | repertoire, a way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your | learning to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all |
W1:195.10 | Our gratitude will pave the way to Him and shorten our | learning time by more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes |

W2:WIC.5 | nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we have no need of | learning or perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, |
W2:WIHS.2 | of fear to those of love. And when this is entirely accomplished, | learning has achieved the only goal it has in truth. For learning, as |
W2:WIHS.2 | learning has achieved the only goal it has in truth. For | learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives |
W2:296.2 | We teach today what we would learn and that alone. And so our | learning goal becomes an unconflicted one and possible of easy reach |
W2:WISC.3 | the Holy Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which | learning ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself and |

M:4.3 | rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is | learning, because cause and effect are never separated. The teachers |
M:4.6 | generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. It takes great | learning to understand that all things, events, encounters, and |
M:4.8 | of God rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates his | learning. Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has |
M:4.10 | And finally, there is a “period of achievement.” It is here that | learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows before |
M:4.10 | Indeed, the tranquility is their result—the outcome of honest | learning, consistency of thought, and full transfer. This is the |
M:4.13 | teacher of God's whole thought system. Let this be lost, and all his | learning goes. Without judgment are all things equally acceptable, |
M:4.14 | therefore on one's self. It is the end of peace and the denial of | learning. It demonstrates the absence of God's curriculum and its |
M:4.21 | Does he still select some aspects of his life to bring to his | learning while keeping others apart? If so, his advancement is |
M:4.24 | of the curriculum. It paves the way for what goes far beyond all | learning. The curriculum makes no effort to exceed its legitimate |
M:4.24 | its legitimate goal. Forgiveness is its single aim at which all | learning ultimately converges. It is indeed enough. |
M:4.25 | here. What God has given is so far beyond our curriculum that | learning but disappears in its presence. Yet while its presence is |
M:4.25 | the curriculum. It is the function of God's teachers to bring true | learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that they |

Tx:18.87 | Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and | leave you there. For it is not His purpose to frighten you, but only |
Tx:19.60 | rob you of. This is what you believe that it would dispossess and | leave you homeless. And it is this for which you would deny a home to |

Tx:23.5 | as eternity. Do not let time intrude upon your sight of him. | Leave him not frightened and alone in his temptation but help him |
Tx:23.52 | and above all, a loss of peace. This you know well. When it occurs, | leave not your place on high but quickly choose a miracle instead of |
Tx:24.4 | to disrupt your peace. For it is at their mercy while you decide to | leave it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to |

Tx:24.28 | your world and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. Illusions | leave it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But specialness is not |
Tx:24.49 | that God is knowable and will be known to you. For He could never | leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your |
Tx:25.35 | rest you found extend, so that your peace can never fall away and | leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to everyone have found a |
Tx:25.38 | attack, can fail to think it must be guilty to deserve the wish and | leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as innocent and |
Tx:25.86 | dust and grow until they cover everything that you perceive and | leave you fair to no one. Not one right do you believe you have. And |
Tx:26.49 | of it. For it is real and dwells where all reality must be. Ideas | leave not their source, and their effects but seem to be apart from |
Tx:26.59 | where the belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can | leave their source made real and meaningful. And from this error does |
Tx:26.60 | you as part of Him, and this must still be true because ideas | leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each idea the |
Tx:26.60 | but cannot make it be what it is not. And to believe ideas can | leave their source is to invite illusions to be true, without |
Tx:26.81 | held apart from light is given up, that light may shine on it, and | leave no space nor distance lingering between the light of Heaven and |
Tx:27.27 | as shared, it must correct mistakes in both of you. It cannot | leave mistakes in one unhealed and set the other free. That is |

Tx:27.32 | made that would enhance the invitation's real appeal. For what you | leave as vacant, God will fill, and where He is, there must the truth |
Tx:27.43 | the world the answers merely raise another question, though they | leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the |

Tx:28.35 | lies and gently shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would | leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what never was. And |
Tx:29.1 | in His Love. Be wary, then; let Him not come too close, and | leave a gap between you and His love through which you can escape if |
Tx:29.7 | and how frequently you have demanded that love go away and | leave you quietly alone in “peace.” |

Tx:29.54 | real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is still a thought and cannot | leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form apart from the |
Tx:30.34 | name. Unless you do your will, you are not free. And would God | leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured |
Tx:31.9 | not share the universal will that it be whole and that you do not | leave its call unheard. Without your answer is it left to die, as it |
Tx:31.58 | be you sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at last and | leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser will appear in many |

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 |

W1:92.10 | 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 |

W1:128.5 | 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 |

W1:132.6 | Ideas | leave not their source. This central theme is often stated in the |

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 |

W2:331.1 | 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: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 |

W1:85.5 | Source is there. It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have | left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found |
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 |
W1:125.8 | quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never | left His Son, and you have never left your Self. |
W1:125.8 | and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never | left your Self. |

W1:134.12 | step is light, and as he lifts his foot to stride ahead, a star is | left behind to point the way to those who follow him. |
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 |
W1:153.13 | who have played that you are lost to hope, abandoned by your Father, | left alone in terror in a fearful world made mad by sin and guilt, be |
W1:154.9 | role. He has not failed to offer what you need, nor has it been | left unaccepted. Yet another part of your appointed task is yet to be |
W1:154.12 | then receive a thousand more but will not know that God Himself has | left no gift beyond what you already have nor has denied the tiniest |
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 |
W1:165.2 | holding you one with It, and everything is one with you because It | left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes |
W1:165.2 | everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought of God has | left you not and still abides with you. |

W1:196.8 | to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy mind He never | left. |
W1:197.9 | to anyone who makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one | left outside. Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend |

W2:227.2 | And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really | left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God |
W2:228.2 | because I failed to realize the Source from Which I came. I have not | left that Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a |
W2:234.1 | and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy peace we never | left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and |
W2:WIW.1 | The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not | left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought which gave |
W2:241.2 | and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never | left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our |
W2:260.1 | in my insanity I thought I did. Yet as Your thought, I have not | left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my |
W2:WIC.1 | Which still abides within the Mind That is His Source. He has not | left His holy home nor lost the innocence in which He was created. He |
W2:280.1 | for him, but only in illusions, not in truth. No Thought of God has | left its Father's Mind. No Thought of God is limited at all. No |
W2:289.2 | have offered me Your own replacement in a present world the past has | left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am |
W2:319.1 | thought from which all arrogance has been removed, and only truth is | left. For arrogance opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, |
W2:319.1 | the truth will come immediately and fill up the space the ego | left unoccupied by lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore |
W2:326.1 | Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy thought that never | left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever |
W2:331.1 | himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation and be | left without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You |
W2:331.1 | within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has | left Itself? There is no will except the will of Love. Fear is a |
W2:352.1 | I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not | left me comfortless. I have within me both the memory of You and One |
W2:FL.1 | Our final lessons will be | left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning |
M:21.3 | lie hell and Heaven. The sleeping Son of God has but this power | left to him. It is enough. His words do not matter. Only the Word of |
M:22.3 | the place of God and prove salvation is impossible. What then is | left to heal? The body has become lord of the mind. How could the |

W1:127.9 | Today the | legion of the future years of waiting for salvation disappears before |

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:25.44 | Somehow, the vague and more obscure seems easier to look upon; | less painful to the eyes than what is wholly clear and unambiguous. |
Tx:25.58 | his sinfulness and all the sin he sees within the world offer him | less and less— until he comes to understand it cost him his sanity |
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:25.79 | out his hand in willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure | less as it is given out. Each gift [received] but adds to the supply. |
Tx:25.83 | be in miracles, unless someone deserves to suffer more and others | less? And is this justice to the wholly innocent? A miracle is |
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:25.84 | to an elect and special group and kept apart from others as | less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He cannot |
Tx:26.13 | Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or | less. They have no properties to Him. They are mistakes from which |
Tx:26.17 | For it is not your Father's Will that you should offer or receive | less than He gave when He created you in perfect love. |
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:26.61 | And this is not release. God's Son could never be content with | less than full salvation and escape from guilt. For otherwise he |
Tx:26.83 | and the freezing cold. And shall the Lord of Heaven and His Son give | less in gratitude for so much more? |
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:28.66 | its Source? From here the body can be seen as what it is and neither | less nor more in worth than the extent to which it can be used to |
Tx:29.9 | gap is gone is peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and nothing | less. Without the fear of God, what could induce you to abandon Him? |
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 |
Tx:29.60 | has not many sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be given | less? In Heaven would the Son of God but laugh if idols could intrude |
Tx:29.60 | is within, why would you seek for idols which would make of Heaven | less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your brother and on you |
Tx:29.60 | you as more than God. But you will never be content with being | less. |

Tx:6.41 | That is why you must teach only one | lesson. If you are to be conflict-free yourselves, you must learn |

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:6.72 | undoing of the getting concept. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit's first | lesson was “to have, give all to all.” We said that this is apt to |
Tx:6.73 | “having” appears to be the opposite of “being.” Therefore, the first | lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is being learned by |
Tx:6.73 | by a conflicted mind. This means conflicting motivation, and so the | lesson cannot be learned consistently as yet. Further, the mind of |
Tx:6.73 | motivation. This is the real reason why in many respects the first | lesson is the hardest to learn. Still strongly aware of the ego in |
Tx:6.74 | Upside-down as always, the ego perceives the first | lesson as insane. In fact this is its only alternative here since the |
Tx:6.75 | you would not have called upon the Voice for Peace to help you. His | lesson is not insane; the conflict is. |
Tx:6.77 | perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His second | lesson is: |
Tx:6.84 | can project with perfect safety. Therefore, the Holy Spirit's third | 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:7.17 | consistent unless it is remembered. That is why the Holy Spirit is a | lesson in remembering. We said before that He teaches remembering and |
Tx:7.24 | because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy Spirit teaches one | lesson and applies it to all individuals in all situations. Being |
Tx:7.26 | is so contradictory that it is clearly impossible. It is therefore a | lesson which you cannot really learn, and therefore cannot really |
Tx:7.40 | emphasized, you teach what you do believe. An inconsistent | lesson will be poorly taught and poorly learned. If you teach both |

Tx:7.47 | His healing lesson is limited by his own ingratitude, which is a | lesson in sickness. Learning is constant and so vital in its power |
Tx:7.48 | the ego. This does place you in a position of needing to learn a | lesson which seems contradictory—you must learn to change your mind |
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:7.97 | your identification is maintained by extension. The miracle is a | lesson in total perception. By including any part of totality in the |
Tx:7.97 | lesson in total perception. By including any part of totality in the | lesson, you have included the whole. You have said that when you |
Tx:7.106 | is what you are], you are denying joy. The miracle is therefore a | lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in |
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:7.106 | a lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in sharing, it is a | lesson in love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in |
Tx:7.106 | it is a lesson in love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a | lesson in truth, and by offering truth you are learning the |
Tx:7.110 | to teach the Kingdom to the Kingdom. There are no exceptions to this | lesson, because the lack of exceptions is the lesson. Every Son who |
Tx:7.110 | no exceptions to this lesson, because the lack of exceptions is the | lesson. Every Son who returns to the Kingdom with this lesson in his |
Tx:7.110 | is the lesson. Every Son who returns to the Kingdom with this | lesson in his heart has healed the Sonship and given thanks to God. |
Tx:7.110 | healed the Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this | lesson has become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of |
Tx:8.10 | His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's | lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that your will and |
Tx:8.10 | is not the Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what you are. The | lesson is that your will and God's cannot be out of accord, because |
Tx:8.11 | to teach you that you want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural | lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to learn it is a violation |

Tx:9.11 | The Atonement is a | lesson in sharing, which is given you because you have forgotten how |
Tx:10.17 | Healing thus becomes a | lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the better |
Tx:10.39 | looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be our | lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to look beyond it |
Tx:10.41 | look upon darkness through light must dispel it. Let us begin this | lesson in “ego dynamics” by understanding that the term itself does |
Tx:11.24 | to help them since you are among them. Consider how perfectly your | lesson would be learned if you were unwilling to share their poverty. |
Tx:11.88 | condemned because he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final | lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, |
Tx:13.43 | of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the | lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light surrounds him. |
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:13.59 | see in you more than you see. They will be happy learners of the | lesson which this light brings to them because it teaches them |
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:31.10 | 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 |
Tx:31.51 | Thus are the Holy Spirit's | lesson plans arranged in easy steps that though there be some lack of |
Tx:31.83 | Temptation has one | lesson it would teach in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would |
W1:6.4 | others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous | lesson: |
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 |
W1:106.7 | everything is given away, it will remain with you forever. And the | lesson has been learned. |
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 |
W1:121.9 | friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we will extend the | lesson to yourself and see that their escape included yours. |
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 |
W1:132.11 | What is the | lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self |
W1:151.10 | of God, for He will judge all happenings and teach the single | lesson which they all contain. |
W1:151.15 | are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of God the holy | lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you hear the |
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: |
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 thoughts I |
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:4.6 | he has valued what is really valueless, he will not generalize the | lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. It takes great learning to |
M:5.7 | of one true idea has no end nor limit. The final outcome of this | lesson is the remembrance of God. What do guilt and sickness, pain, |
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:22.2 | a sudden and complete awareness of the perfect applicability of the | lesson of the Atonement to all situations. This, however, is |
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 |
M:28.1 | perfectly, having no function except communication. It is the | lesson in which learning ends, for it is consummated and surpassed |

Tx:31.40 | is what is given him. How utterly opposed to truth is this, when the | lesson's purpose is to teach that what your brother loses you have |
M:17.8 | but it requires patience and abundant willingness. Given that, the | lesson's manifest simplicity stands out like an intense white light |

Tx:2.55 | The body is a learning device for the mind. Learning devices are not | lessons in themselves. Their purpose is merely to facilitate the |
Tx:3.18 | perfect lesson. It is the final demonstration that all of the other | lessons which I taught are true. Man is released from all errors if |
Tx:3.18 | generalization now, there will be no need to learn from many smaller | lessons. |
Tx:4.4 | We have another journey to undertake, and if you will read these | lessons carefully, they will help to prepare you to undertake it. |
Tx:4.7 | They are in the same order of learning, and unless they share their | lessons, they will lack conviction. A good teacher must believe in |
Tx:4.14 | fallacy. Teachers must be patient and repeat their | lessons until they are learned. I am willing to do this because I |
Tx:6.70 | was quite apparent that I was not. An insane learner learns strange | lessons. |

Tx:7.85 | that a conflicted teacher is a poor teacher and a poor learner. His | lessons are confused, and their transfer value is severely limited by |
Tx:9.29 | By following the right Guide you will learn the simplest of all | lessons— |

Tx:14.63 | God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are dark | lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you and everyone around |
Tx:14.68 | this fancied undependability as an excuse for keeping certain dark | lessons from Him. And by so limiting the guidance that you would |
Tx:14.69 | instead of you and recognized they never were. There are no dark | lessons He has not already lightened for you. The lessons you would |
Tx:14.69 | There are no dark lessons He has not already lightened for you. The | lessons you would teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do |
Tx:14.70 | establish His bright teaching so firmly in your mind that no dark | lessons of guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by His |
Tx:21.5 | There is no need to learn through pain. And gentle | lessons are acquired joyously and are remembered gladly. What gives |
Tx:21.6 | they know their way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous | lessons, but through the stern necessity of limits they believed they |
Tx:21.6 | they could not overcome. And still believing this, they hold those | lessons dear and cling to them because they cannot see. They do not |
Tx:21.6 | cling to them because they cannot see. They do not understand the | lessons keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep |
Tx:31.3 | it, and the pains to which you went to practice and repeat the | lessons endlessly in every form you could conceive of them could ever |
Tx:31.3 | The world was made by it and even now depends on nothing else. The | lessons you have taught yourselves have been so overlearned and fixed |
Tx:31.4 | Who could maintain that | lessons such as these are easy? Yet you have learned more than this. |
Tx:31.5 | stand implacable before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its | lessons are not true, too hard to learn, too difficult to see, and |

W1:66.1 | You have surely noticed an emphasis throughout our recent | lessons on the connection between fulfilling your function and |
W1:70.7 | when to undertake them. We will follow this practice for a number of | lessons, and it would again be well to decide in advance when would |
W1:137.9 | means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle | lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours, how little practice |

W1:193.12 | now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple | lessons Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all pain may disappear |
W1:193.13 | All things are | lessons God would have you learn. He would not leave an unforgiving |
W1:193.15 | disappear. Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are the | lessons God would have us learn. |

W2:E.3 | No more specific | lessons are assigned, for there is no more need of them. Henceforth, |

M:14.5 | Heaven is the function of God's teachers, for what they teach are | lessons in which Heaven is reflected. And now sit down in true |
M:16.1 | of God, this question is meaningless. There is no program, for the | lessons in the curriculum change each day. Yet he is sure of but one |
M:16.1 | who share that role with him will find him, so they can learn the | lessons for the day together. Not one is absent whom he needs; not |

Tx:22.45 | not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any way. Merely by | letting reason tell you that they contradict reality. They go against |

Tx:6.30 | a fact. Anything that God create[s] is as true as He is. Its truth | lies only in its perfect inclusion in Him, Who alone is perfect. To |
Tx:6.37 | which He must speak, because that is what He is. The peace of God | lies in that message, and so the peace of God lies in you. |
Tx:6.37 | is. The peace of God lies in that message, and so the peace of God | lies in you. |
Tx:6.42 | The only real safety | lies in projecting only the Holy Spirit because, as you see His |
Tx:6.43 | it by not teaching it. Since you cannot not teach, your salvation | lies in teaching the exact opposite of everything the ego believes. |
Tx:6.45 | His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as part of you. Herein | lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its whole |
Tx:6.60 | the call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting | lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God |
Tx:7.50 | as you were. The whole glory and perfect joy that is the Kingdom | lies in you to give. Do you not want to give it? |
Tx:7.91 | is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that | lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating between them always in |
Tx:7.105 | open to choice, though it may seem to be. The whole separation | lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the fallacy is to decide |
Tx:8.33 | yourself. I will always remember you, and in my remembrance of you | lies your remembrance of yourself. In our remembrance of each other |
Tx:8.33 | lies your remembrance of yourself. In our remembrance of each other | lies our remembrance of God, and in this remembrance lies your |
Tx:8.33 | of each other lies our remembrance of God, and in this remembrance | lies your freedom, because your freedom is in Him. Join then with me |
Tx:8.38 | I offer you only the recognition of His power in you, but in that | lies all truth. As we unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union |
Tx:8.38 | with Him. Glory be to the union of God and His holy Sons! All glory | lies in them because they are united. The miracles we do bear witness |
Tx:8.46 | is valuable. There can be no question of its worth because its value | lies in God's sharing Himself with it and establishing its value |
Tx:8.49 | each other we cannot function at all. The whole power of God's Son | lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone. God would not have us |
Tx:8.52 | has given His Will to His treasure, whose treasure it is. Your heart | lies where your treasure is, as His does. You who are beloved of God |
Tx:8.68 | release. But what other hope would you want? Freedom from illusions | lies only in not believing them. There is no attack, but there is |
Tx:8.69 | then, is not the source of its own health. The body's condition | lies solely in your interpretation of its function. |
Tx:8.113 | my brothers in whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers | lies in them. You will be answered as you hear the answer in |
Tx:9.2 | Errors are of the ego, and correction of errors of any kind | lies solely in the relinquishment of the ego. When you correct a |
Tx:9.11 | of the ego, or you will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness | lies in its judgment. All their helpfulness lies in the judgment of |
Tx:9.11 | All their harmfulness lies in its judgment. All their helpfulness | lies in the judgment of the Holy Spirit. |
Tx:9.14 | Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit | lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and thus |
Tx:9.55 | reality. Truth is not obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you | lies in the joy you bring to its witnesses, who show it to you. They |
Tx:9.65 | done this but you? Recognize this gladly, for in this recognition | lies the realization that your banishment is not of God and therefore |
Tx:9.100 | ceased to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you | lies your Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can |
Tx:10.5 | Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? For in this | lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which God will |
Tx:10.17 | Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, | lies the denial of God's Fatherhood and your Sonship. |
Tx:10.33 | The peace of your Soul | lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you share, and your own |
Tx:10.41 | implies the power to do something, and the whole separation fallacy | lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The ego |
Tx:10.45 | of creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative function | lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose function He shares |
Tx:10.45 | you the knowledge of your dependence on God in which your freedom | lies. The ego sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted even |
Tx:10.64 | gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power | lies in the fact that it represents what you want to be. The freedom |
Tx:10.66 | whom God has given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still | lies heavy on your eyes, but what you see in dreams is not reality. |
Tx:10.89 | too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear | lies not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not |
Tx:11.25 | fact of his insistence should tell you that he believes salvation | lies in it. If you insist on refusing and experience a quick response |
Tx:11.25 | quick response of opposition, you are believing that your salvation | lies in not doing it. You, then, are making the same mistake that he |
Tx:11.34 | source, and where it began it must end. For in this same place also | lies salvation. The altar of God where Christ abideth is there. |
Tx:11.61 | sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His blessing | lies, and in your blessing of the Children of God is His blessing to |
Tx:11.85 | another as unworthy of love and deserving of punishment. But herein | lies the split. For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate |
Tx:12.3 | him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane idea | lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense that |
Tx:12.9 | him and have never been separated from him. In this understanding | lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of love without |
Tx:12.14 | from yourself and make you little. For you believe that magnitude | lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made |
Tx:12.22 | not do this to you. Could He set you apart, knowing that your peace | lies in His Oneness? He denied you only your request for pain, for |
Tx:12.30 | past or future, that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity | lies. For only now is here, and it presents the opportunities for the |
Tx:12.47 | you now has no past, for He is changeless, and in His changelessness | lies your release. For if He is as He was created, there is no guilt |
Tx:12.49 | Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for truth | lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it there. |
Tx:12.50 | for it holds the only things that are forever true. All healing | lies within it because its continuity is real. It extends to all |
Tx:12.75 | the only real need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the world | lies only here. My peace I give you. Take it of me in glad exchange |
Tx:13.4 | light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that | lies beyond them. |
Tx:13.15 | Lay not his guilt upon him, for his guilt | lies in his secret that he thinks that he has done this unto you. |
Tx:13.16 | unto yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the Son of God | lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy |
Tx:13.23 | When you maintain that you are guilty but the source | lies in the past, you are not looking inward. The past is not in you. |
Tx:13.46 | with truth, and only truth, in which the peace of Heaven | lies. |
Tx:13.53 | what you have made [nor escape the heavy burden of its dullness that | lies upon your minds], cannot see through it. It deceives you because |
Tx:13.62 | he also meets the conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom. All this | lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up |
Tx:13.76 | do not understand it. Make no decisions about what it is or where it | lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit everything and leave all decisions |
Tx:13.80 | to anticipate all that you cannot know when all knowledge | lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn |
Tx:14.15 | him into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for therein | lies everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, |
Tx:14.16 | so its value is unknown. The hidden is kept apart, but value always | lies in joint appreciation. What is concealed cannot be loved, and so |
Tx:14.25 | on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the truth | lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, |
Tx:14.32 | gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All this | lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt and in the dark |
Tx:14.32 | denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed | lies nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the |
Tx:14.34 | cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son | lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the |
Tx:14.61 | to Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it | lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His Son. |
Tx:14.74 | Creator must encompass faith in His creation. In this consistency | lies His holiness, which He cannot abandon, for it is not His Will to |
Tx:15.11 | more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming instant | lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the holy |
Tx:15.15 | Who transcends time for you understands what time is for. Holiness | lies not in time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which |
Tx:15.38 | you willingly and gladly give over every plan but His. For there | lies peace, perfectly clear because you have been willing to meet its |
Tx:15.41 | possible to harbor thoughts you would not share and that salvation | lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself alone. For in private |
Tx:15.47 | For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which salvation | lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the Sonship can give |
Tx:15.53 | His frame of reference is simply God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness | lies only here. For in the holy instant, free of the past, you see |
Tx:15.60 | Herein | lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity, |
Tx:15.77 | Forgiveness | lies in communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the |
Tx:15.77 | Forgiveness lies in communication as surely as damnation | lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct |
Tx:15.84 | and yet He understands it because you have made it. In Him alone | lies the awareness of what God cannot know and what you do not |
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 meaning at |
Tx:16.2 | The clearest proof that empathy as the ego uses it is destructive | lies in the fact that it is applied only to certain types of problems |
Tx:16.7 | hopes to find love there. The power of love, which is its meaning, | lies in the strength of God, which hovers over it and blesses it |
Tx:16.30 | Be not afraid to look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom | lies in looking at it. It would be impossible not to know the meaning |
Tx:16.30 | that makes love meaningless to you. The extent of the split that | lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the split will |
Tx:16.40 | not the call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion | lies in truth and nowhere else]. See in the call of hate and in every |
Tx:16.40 | And God has never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your completion | lies the memory of His wholeness and His gratitude to you for His |
Tx:16.47 | is and how it is accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that completion | lies first in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego, |
Tx:16.47 | in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego, completion | lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory” even to the |
Tx:16.51 | The appeal of hell | lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego holds |
Tx:16.51 | who place their faith in littleness. The conviction of littleness | lies in every special relationship, for only the deprived could value |
Tx:16.56 | Salvation | lies in the simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they |
Tx:16.57 | The core of the separation delusion | lies simply in the fantasy of destruction of love's meaning. And |
Tx:16.60 | this is its real appeal, for the ego has taught you that freedom | lies in it. Yet the closer you look at the special relationship, the |
Tx:16.80 | Praise be to your relationship with Him and to no other. The truth | lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or nothing. |
Tx:17.1 | The betrayal of the Son of God | lies only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own imagining. |
Tx:17.35 | for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in every aspect. Death | lies in this glittering gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the hypnotic |
Tx:17.37 | as what it represents. For as the whole thought system of the ego | lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant, |
Tx:17.37 | thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven | lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set in time for you. |
Tx:17.41 | in clear cut and unmistakable contrast, is transformed into what | lies beyond the picture. As you look on this, you realize that it is |
Tx:17.42 | Him as in the whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him | lies in our relationship to one another. The holy instant shines |
Tx:17.70 | might, so great it reaches past the stars and to the universe that | lies beyond them, your little faithlessness can make it useless if |
Tx:18.3 | to introduce quite variable behavior, a far more serious effect | lies in the fragmented perception from which the behavior stems. No |
Tx:18.11 | is restored to all the Sonship through your relationship, for in it | lies the Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has |
Tx:18.28 | and will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in your desire | lies its accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete accord with |
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. |

W1:106.5 | 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. |

W1:134.8 | 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 |

W1:163.5 | 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 |

W1:196.9 | bound because you feared your strength and freedom. Yet salvation | lies in them. |

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:5.86 | Freud pursued it with an open mind. Freud, however, suffered all his | life from refusal to allow eternity to dawn upon his mind and |

Tx:7.31 | it. This is why the healer is part of the resurrection and the | life. The Spirit is not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the part |
Tx:7.74 | is to withdraw all investment from them, and they will have no | life for you, because you have put them out of your mind. While you |
Tx:7.74 | them out of your mind. While you include them in it, you are giving | life to them, except there is nothing there to receive your gift. |
Tx:7.75 | The gift of | life is yours to give because it was given you. You are unaware of |
Tx:7.75 | you do not know your being. All confusion comes from not extending | life, since that is not the Will of your Creator. You can do nothing |
Tx:7.83 | mind must project, because that is how it lives, and every mind is | life. The ego's use of projection must be fully understood before its |
Tx:8.50 | has joined all His Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from your | life and your being? |

Tx:10.13 | God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your will is His | Life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot live apart |
Tx:10.13 | God's Son cannot will death for himself because His Father is | Life and His Son is like Him. Creation is your will because it is His. |
Tx:10.15 | so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His | Life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are |
Tx:10.36 | for while I live it cannot be shut, and I live forever. God is my | life and yours, and nothing is denied by God to His Son. |
Tx:10.62 | I am your resurrection and your | life. You live in me because you live in God. And everyone lives in |
Tx:10.66 | and you cannot assign to death whom God has given eternal | life. The dream of crucifixion still lies heavy on your eyes, but |
Tx:11.41 | the Guide your Father gave you that you might learn you have eternal | life. For death is not your Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is |
Tx:11.41 | and whatever is true is the Will of the Father. You pay no price for | life, for that was given you, but you do pay a price for death, and a |
Tx:11.42 | that you have been redeemed. The Holy Spirit guides you into | life eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or |
Tx:11.42 | you must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see | life though it is all around you. |
Tx:11.74 | a criminal, as deserving of death as God knows you are deserving of | life. The death penalty never leaves the ego's mind, for that is what |
Tx:11.76 | me. Would I have overcome death for myself alone? And would eternal | life have been given me of the Father unless He had also given it to |
Tx:11.90 | the ego never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no | life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon yourselves and |
Tx:12.4 | raising all else to question, it guards this one secret with its | life, for its existence does depend on keeping this secret. So it is |
Tx:12.25 | While it could perhaps be argued that death suggests there was | life, no one would claim that it proves there is life. Even the past |
Tx:12.25 | suggests there was life, no one would claim that it proves there is | life. Even the past life which death might indicate could only have |
Tx:12.25 | life, no one would claim that it proves there is life. Even the past | life which death might indicate could only have been futile if it |
Tx:14.4 | with the Mind of God has never been. Communication with God is | life. Nothing without it is at all. |
Tx:14.19 | Death yields to | life simply because destruction is not true. The light of |

Tx:15.2 | goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the goal is | life, which has no end. |
Tx:15.3 | but not a friend. For it is as mistrustful of death as it is of | life, and what it wants for you it cannot tolerate. The ego wants you |
Tx:15.6 | is hell. Even when it attacks so savagely that it tries to take the | life of someone who hears it temporarily as the only voice, it speaks |
Tx:16.53 | will be completed. For the ritual of completion cannot complete, and | life arises not from death, nor Heaven from hell. |

Tx:18.79 | you built to come inside and shine upon the barren ground. See how | life springs up everywhere! The desert becomes a garden, green and |
Tx:19.77 | falls across all living things because the ego is the “enemy” of | life. |
Tx:19.78 | “sinners,” the ego's mournful chorus, plodding so heavily away from | life, dragging their chains and marching in the slow procession which |
Tx:19.79 | in place of the ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for | life. We know that an idea leaves not its source. And death is the |
Tx:19.79 | And death is the result of the thought we call the ego as surely as | life is the result of the Thought of God. |
Tx:19.80 | From the ego came sin and guilt and death, in opposition to | life and innocence and to the Will of God Himself. Where can such |
Tx:19.84 | of the ego's making over creation, the victory of lifelessness on | Life Itself. |
Tx:19.85 | Himself is powerless before the ego's might, unable to protect the | life that He created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My |
Tx:19.85 | its exaltation you commanded it to die, for only death could conquer | life. And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of God and |
Tx:19.87 | every miracle you will perform, held out to you. The miracle of | life is ageless, born in time but nourished in eternity. Behold this |
Tx:19.87 | will follow him, not to the cross, but to the Resurrection and the | Life. |
Tx:19.90 | for you? Very simply, you would remember your Father. The Creator of | life, the Source of everything that lives, the Father of the universe |
Tx:19.93 | would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you fear but | life? It is the attraction of death that makes life seem to be ugly, |
Tx:19.93 | what can you fear but life? It is the attraction of death that makes | life seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid |

Tx:20.2 | acceptance of the truth and its expression. This week we celebrate | life, not death. And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God |
Tx:20.25 | each other's hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to take hold on | life so long forgotten. Strengthen your hold and raise your eyes unto |
Tx:20.55 | and die in honor of its master. And this unholy instant seems to be | life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of |

Tx:22.22 | will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other | life or death; either you are each other's savior or his judge, |
Tx:23.11 | of his Father must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body's | life, and if you think you are a body, you will believe you have |
Tx:23.30 | you of the secret ingredient which would give meaning to your | life. The substitute for love, born of your enmity to one another, |

Tx:23.37 | There is no life outside of Heaven. Where God created life, there | life must be. In any state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At |

Tx:23.37 | state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like | life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what is not |
Tx:23.37 | life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what is not | life, equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in |
Tx:23.37 | on what is not life, equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. | Life not in Heaven is impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not |
Tx:23.47 | The fear of God is fear of | life and not of death. Yet He remains the only place of safety. In |
Tx:23.48 | is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of | Life. How can a body be extended to hold the universe? Can it create |
Tx:23.49 | as well. Either the Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. | Life makes not death, creating like itself. |
Tx:24.25 | The death of specialness is not your death but your awaking into | life eternal. You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the |
Tx: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 |
Tx:24.46 | all living things from death, receiving from each one the gift of | life that your forgiveness offers to your Self. The sight of Christ |

Tx:25.7 | You are the means for God—not separate nor with a | life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His Son. |
Tx:25.7 | the means for God—not separate nor with a life apart from His. His | Life is manifest in you who are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is |
Tx:25.36 | In you is all of Heaven. Every leaf that falls is given | life in you. Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you. And |
Tx:25.51 | the “sinner's” wish for death is just as strong as is God's Will for | life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm and sure |
Tx:25.62 | to madness because your aims can not be reconciled. Death demands | life, but life is not maintained at any cost. No one can suffer for |

Tx:25.73 | his behalf? And who would come to plead for him and not against his | life? No justice would be given him by you. Yet God ensured that |
Tx:25.77 | peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the | life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for |
Tx:26.7 | Yet every instant can you be reborn and given | life again. His holiness gives life to you, who cannot die because |
Tx:26.7 | instant can you be reborn and given life again. His holiness gives | life to you, who cannot die because his sinlessness is known to God |
Tx:26.7 | out because he sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of | life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and |
Tx:26.8 | untouched by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of | life or death. For neither did he make, and only one was given him by |
Tx:26.42 | between past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each | life—a seeming interval from birth to death and on to life again, a |
Tx:26.42 | Such is each life—a seeming interval from birth to death and on to | life again, a repetition of an instant gone by long ago, which cannot |

Tx:27.7 | It is not will for | life, but wish for death that is the motivation for this world. Its |
Tx:27.7 | Concerns about the body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your | life, how easily destroyed is what you love. Depression speaks of |
Tx:27.8 | of their unnatural desires and strange needs. For who could live a | life so soon cut short and not esteem the worth of passing joys? What |
Tx:27.8 | for all of them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The end of | life must come, whatever way that life be spent. And so take pleasure |
Tx:27.8 | their benefits or not. The end of life must come, whatever way that | life be spent. And so take pleasure in the quickly passing and |

Tx:27.11 | healing take the place of death. The body can become a sign of | life, a promise of redemption, and a breath of immortality to those |
Tx:27.11 | that it represents. Let it receive the power to represent an endless | life, forever unattacked. And to your brother let its message be, |
Tx:27.18 | and death must disappear before the ancient clarion call of | life. This call has power far beyond the weak and miserable cry of |
Tx:27.48 | returning to the world. And being blessed, you will bring blessing. | Life is given you to give the dying world. And suffering eyes no |
Tx:27.57 | And for each witness to the body's death He sends a witness to your | life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He brings is witness |
Tx:27.58 | As fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto | life. It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of life |
Tx:27.58 | unto life. It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of | life it brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has |
Tx:27.70 | a sleeping death and dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of | life. What could you choose between but life or death, waking or |
Tx:27.70 | a happy wakening and joy of life. What could you choose between but | life or death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, your dreams or your |

Tx:27.76 | see as offering both life and death to you. Brother, He gives but | life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother offers represent the |
Tx:29.15 | Such is the promise of the living God—His Son have | life and every living thing be part of him, and nothing else have |
Tx:29.15 | life and every living thing be part of him, and nothing else have | life. What you have given “life” is not alive and symbolizes but your |
Tx:29.15 | is not alive and symbolizes but your wish to be alive apart from | life, alive in death, with death perceived as life, and living, |
Tx:29.15 | to be alive apart from life, alive in death, with death perceived as | life, and living, death. Confusion follows on confusion here, for on |
Tx:29.30 | to take the part which you assigned to him in what you dream your | life was meant to be. He asks for help in every dream he has, and you |
Tx:29.37 | And leading finally beyond all dreams unto the peace of everlasting | life. |
Tx:29.39 | holy Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of | Life cannot be killed. He is immortal as his Father. What he is |
Tx:29.46 | to be without and to have suffered loss. And by this giving up is | life renounced. Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are |
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:29.47 | must fail and crumble and decay because a form of death cannot be | life, and what is sacrificed cannot be whole. |

W1:20.3 | if you are not? God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and the | life. His Will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and |

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:R2.4 | these practice periods as dedications to the way, the truth, and the | life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions, and thoughts |
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 |
W1:137.3 | Self appear to be dismembered and without the unity that gives it | life. But healing is accomplished as he sees the body has no power to |
W1:137.10 | His | life becomes your own as you extend the little help He asks in |
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. |

W1:139.4 | only certainty by which he lives. Thus he becomes uncertain of his | life, for what it is has been denied by him. |
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. |
W1:157.8 | not dreamed of. But the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of | life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven |
W1:159.10 | It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to | life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. |
W1:161.5 | feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out our | life. Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form of fear. Fear |

Tx:9.25 | by acknowledging darkness in yourself and looking for a distant | light to remove it while emphasizing the distance? |
Tx:9.26 | not mysterious. Nothing will occur unless you understand it, since | light is understanding. A “miserable sinner” cannot be healed without |
Tx:9.27 | for him and who no longer believes in nightmares of any kind. The | light in his mind will therefore answer the questioner, who must |
Tx:9.27 | answer the questioner, who must decide with God that there is | light because he sees it. And by his acknowledgment, the therapist |
Tx:9.27 | translated into knowledge. The miracle worker begins by perceiving | light and translates his perception into sureness by continually |
Tx:9.28 | he lets healing be. He can point to darkness, but he cannot bring | light of himself, for light is not of him. Yet, being for him, it |
Tx:9.28 | He can point to darkness, but he cannot bring light of himself, for | light is not of him. Yet, being for him, it must also be for his |
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 | If you but see the little spark, you will learn of the greater | light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, |
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 | fit companions for the Son of God, who was created of light and in | light. The Great Light always surrounds you and shines out from you. |

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:10.27 | dark companions, the dark way, are all illusions. Turn toward the | light, for the little spark in you is part of a light so great that |
Tx:10.27 | Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is part of a | light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For |
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:12.21 | 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 | 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:12.55 | There is a | light which this world cannot give. Yet you can give it, as it was |

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:12.56 | not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the | light you gave to them. |
Tx:12.59 | list of things they do not need. It is not lit with artificial | light, and night comes not upon it. There is no day that brightens |
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:14.44 | it as the same. All bring their different problems to its healing | light, but all their problems are met only with healing there. |
Tx:14.49 | a moment and grow dim as darkness blots them out. Where there was | light, darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of |
Tx:14.49 | darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of | light and darkness sweep constantly across your minds. |
Tx:14.55 | it. If you undertake the search together, you bring with you a | light so powerful that what you see is given meaning. The lonely |
Tx:14.60 | Do not attempt to understand any event or anything or anyone in its | light, for the light of darkness by which you try to see can only |
Tx:14.60 | to understand any event or anything or anyone in its light, for the | light of darkness by which you try to see can only obscure. |
Tx:14.61 | to illuminate your understanding, for if you do, you contradict the | light and thereby think you see the darkness. Yet darkness cannot be |
Tx:14.61 | yet brought all of the darkness you have taught yourselves unto the | light in you can hardly judge the truth and value of this course. Yet |
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:14.65 | how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past learning as the | light to guide me now. |
Tx:14.69 | or trial you have has been undone. He has brought all of them to | light, having accepted them instead of you and recognized they never |
Tx:15.62 | the lifting of the veil and felt himself drawn irresistibly into the | light behind it can have faith in love without fear. Yet the Holy |
Tx:15.67 | it is and have judged it completely in the dark. As we bring it to | light, your only question will be why it was you ever wanted it. You |
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:17.34 | rubies, and the tears are faceted like diamonds and gleam in the dim | light in which the offering is made. |
Tx:17.38 | disproportionate enclosure. The other is lightly framed and hung in | light, lovely to look upon for what it is. |
Tx:17.39 | stone which seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to | light, it becomes dull and lifeless and ceases to distract you from |
Tx:17.40 | both are seen in relation to each other. The dark picture brought to | light is not perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is just a |
Tx:17.41 | The picture of | light, in clear cut and unmistakable contrast, is transformed into |
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:21.4 | can see where safety lies and which way leads to darkness, which to | light. Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision |
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 |
Tx:23.17 | the house of God perceives itself divided. The altar disappears, the | light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of sin. |
Tx:23.19 | The “laws” of chaos can be brought to | light, though never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful |
Tx:23.50 | The lovely | light of your relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet |
Tx:23.54 | They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the | light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them |
Tx:24.44 | is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is given | light that you may lead as you were led. |
Tx:24.59 | entry shut against intrusion and every window barred against the | light. Always attacked and always furious, with anger always fully |
Tx:24.66 | is perceived as means for truth shares in its holiness and rests in | light as safely as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is |
Tx:24.66 | its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor will that | light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, |
Tx:24.66 | it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, setting another | light in Heaven, where your creations recognize a gift from you, a |
Tx:24.70 | yourself, and 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 |
Tx:24.70 | body in a different light, and it looks different. And without a | light, it seems that it is gone. Yet you are reassured that it is |
Tx:25.3 | that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the body in His | light and fills it with the holiness that shines from Him. And |
Tx:25.7 | each body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into | light merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted |
Tx:25.7 | brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking past it to the | light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and nothing hides |
Tx:25.18 | up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides and casts a veil of | light across the picture's face, which but reflects the light that |
Tx:25.18 | a veil of light across the picture's face, which but reflects the | light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was |
Tx:25.22 | you is given the power of salvation that escape from darkness into | light be yours to share; that you may see as one what never has been |
Tx:25.27 | attempts of specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and | light the body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it |
Tx:25.27 | with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him out of darkness into | light at any time. |
Tx:25.29 | want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them and offer them the | light. |
Tx:25.34 | which extends to all of them and covers them in gentleness and | light. And in this widening world of light, the darkness they thought |
Tx:25.34 | covers them in gentleness and light. And in this widening world of | light, the darkness they thought was there is pushed away until it is |
Tx:25.35 | the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away before the | light. They linger for a while, a little while, in twisted forms too |
Tx:25.36 | mistakes be brought to truth than by your willingness to bring the | light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of darkness |
Tx:25.36 | of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of darkness into | light? |
Tx:25.44 | Eyes become used to darkness, and the | light of brilliant day seems painful to the eyes grown long |
Tx:25.44 | calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of | light that makes sight possible. |
Tx:25.49 | Only in darkness does your specialness appear to be attack. In | light, you see it as your special function in the plan to save the |
Tx:25.56 | problem is their choices are not free and made with reason in the | light of sense. |
Tx:26.7 | is known to God and can no more be sacrificed by you than can the | light in you be blotted out because he sees it not. You who would |
Tx:26.26 | sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in | light, and every bird sings of the joy of Heaven. There is no |
Tx:26.27 | altars is set where once sin was believed to be. And here does every | light of heaven come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here |
Tx:26.40 | present. Here the shadow of the past remains, but still a present | light is dimly recognized. Once it is seen, this light can never be |
Tx:26.40 | but still a present light is dimly recognized. Once it is seen, this | light can never be forgotten. It must draw you from the past into the |
Tx:26.47 | from awareness that it may be carefully preserved from reason's | light. |
Tx:26.65 | answer and no problem which is not resolved within its gracious | light. |
Tx:26.79 | was a place of death has now become a living temple in a world of | light. Because of Them. It is Their Presence which has lifted |
Tx:26.81 | Their Own. What has been locked is opened; what was held apart from | light is given up, that light may shine on it, and leave no space nor |
Tx:26.81 | locked is opened; what was held apart from light is given up, that | light may shine on it, and leave no space nor distance lingering |
Tx:26.81 | shine on it, and leave no space nor distance lingering between the | light of Heaven and the world. |
Tx:26.82 | as yours. What hatred has released to love becomes the brightest | light in Heaven's radiance. And all the lights in Heaven brighter |
Tx:26.83 | lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin and keep the | light where it has entered in. Your footprints lighten up the world, |
Tx:26.90 | perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see yourself deprived of | light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a |
Tx:26.90 | world is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the | light within, and there has all unfairness been resolved and been |
Tx:27.36 | be an answer from one point of view is not an answer in another | light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer |
Tx:27.48 | in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance will | light your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and |
Tx:27.76 | your Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen in | light of charity and kindness offered you. And let no pain disturb |
Tx:29.3 | but this one still remains to block your path and make the way to | light seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that |
Tx:29.21 | of truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of | light created in the dark, where God still shines. |
Tx:29.22 | savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of | light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God |
Tx:29.22 | you will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this | light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. |
Tx:29.22 | this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to | light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the |
Tx:29.22 | light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the | light means it is gone. In glory will you see your brother then and |
Tx:29.23 | your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When | light has come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget |
Tx:29.23 | his savior, leaving him unsaved. For it was in your face he saw the | light that he would keep beside him as he walks through darkness to |
Tx:29.23 | keep beside him as he walks through darkness to the everlasting | light. |
Tx:29.24 | And as his Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so the | light in him is brighter still because you gave your light to him to |
Tx:29.24 | so the light in him is brighter still because you gave your | light to him to save him from the dark. And now the light in you must |
Tx:29.24 | you gave your light to him to save him from the dark. And now the | light in you must be as bright as shines in him. This is the spark |
Tx:29.35 | beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however | light the touch of evil on it may appear to be. For you would |
Tx:29.50 | have made of your reality an idol which you must protect against the | light of truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this |
Tx:29.54 | which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in darkness. Yet the | light is there. A cloud does not put out the sun. No more a veil can |
Tx:29.54 | veil can banish what it seems to separate nor darken by one whit the | light itself. |
Tx:29.56 | and eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the truth, the | light the veil between has not put out. It merely lifts the veil and |
Tx:29.58 | time can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set where all is | light, a dismal alcove separated off from what is endless, has no |
Tx:29.64 | have accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put out the | light within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and |
Tx:30.35 | but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born. No | light of Heaven shines except for you, for it was set in Heaven by |
Tx:30.45 | eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant when its | light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was. |
Tx:30.46 | Who knows the Father knows this | light, for He is the eternal sky which holds it safe, forever lifted |
Tx:30.64 | How | light and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world |
Tx:30.83 | show there was no meaning there? But you assigned a meaning in the | light of goals that change, with every meaning shifting as they |
Tx:30.87 | And looked at separately, they have no meaning. For there is no | light by which they can be seen and understood. They have no purpose. |
Tx:31.25 | alone with no one by your side? This is the road to nowhere, for the | light cannot be given while you walk alone, and so you cannot see |
Tx:31.25 | is and how it must be made. For next to you is One Who holds the | light before you so that every step is made in certainty and sureness |
Tx:31.25 | make the way itself grow dark. And He Who travels with you has the | light. |
Tx:31.48 | kept in darkness where they cannot be perceived as errors, which the | light would surely show. You can be neither blamed for what you are, |
Tx:31.53 | the reason why this concept must be kept in darkness is that in the | light the one who would not think it true is you. And what would |
Tx:31.59 | and been recognized as made on no assumptions which would stand the | light, then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean |
Tx:31.67 | change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as | light, as innocent as Love Itself. And you are worthy that your will |
Tx:31.74 | and warps your vision, so that you behold nothing with clarity. The | light is kept from everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow |
Tx:31.75 | he looks on everyone as he beholds this One. For there is | light where darkness was before, and now the veil is lifted from his |
Tx:31.78 | between his 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:31.82 | Let not the world's | light, given unto you, be hidden from the world. It needs the light, |
Tx:31.82 | light, given unto you, be hidden from the world. It needs the | light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair because the savior's |
Tx:31.86 | weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no power. And the | light of Christ in you is given charge of everything you do. For you |
Tx:31.96 | past temptation and who looks with fixed determination toward the | light that shines beyond in perfect constancy. Give me my own, for |

W1:15.2 | You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of | light around the same familiar objects which you see now. That is the |
W1:23.4 | a replacement for everything you think you see now. Loveliness can | light your images and so transform them that you will love them even |
W1:28.2 | seen one thing differently, you will see all things differently. The | light you will see in any one of them is the same light you will see |
W1:28.2 | differently. The light you will see in any one of them is the same | light you will see in them all. |

W1:44.1 | make light. You can make darkness and then think you see in it, but | light reflects life and is therefore an aspect of creation. Creation |
W1:44.1 | an aspect of creation. Creation and darkness cannot coexist, but | light and life must go together, being but different aspects of |
W1:44.2 | In order to see, you must recognize that | light is within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is |
W1:44.2 | for seeing outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the | light that makes seeing possible. It is with you always, making |
W1:44.3 | Today we are going to attempt to reach that | light. For this purpose, we will use a form of practice which has |
W1:44.6 | find it helpful to remind yourself from time to time that to reach | light is to escape from darkness, whatever you may believe to the |
W1:44.6 | from darkness, whatever you may believe to the contrary. God is the | Light in which you see. You are attempting to reach Him. |
W1:44.10 | a feeling that you are approaching if not actually entering into | light. Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass |
W1:44.10 | are approaching if not actually entering into light. Try to think of | light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of |
W1:53.6 | and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent | light on what I see. Yet God's way is sure. The images I have made |
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 |
W1:59.5 | I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that God is the | Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it |
W1:61.1 | Who is the | light of the world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a |
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 |
W1:69.1 | stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your brother in the | light of the world which saves you both. |
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 |
W1:69.5 | you stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a brilliant | light hidden by the clouds. The clouds seem to be the only reality. |
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 |
W1:72.10 | The | light of truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body |
W1:72.10 | To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To recognize the | light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our |
W1:73.4 | more to reach the world that is in accordance with your will. The | light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of God. It is not |
W1:73.4 | it does not oppose the Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the | light of Heaven shines on it. Darkness has vanished; the ego's idle |
W1:73.5 | Yet the | light which shines upon this world reflects your will, and so it must |
W1:73.5 | of the world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither | light nor darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, |
W1:73.5 | the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of | light. |
W1:73.11 | to his awareness. He is willing this very day to look upon the | light in him and be saved. |
W1:73.13 | I will there be | light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will and mine. |
W1:73.13 | I will there be light. Let me behold the | light that reflects God's Will and mine. |
W1:73.16 | I will there be | light. Darkness is not my will. |

W1:75.1 | The light has come. You are healed and you can heal. The | light has come. You are saved, and you can save. You are at peace, |

W1:75.4 | us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now that the | light has come. |
W1:75.5 | We do not see the ego's shadow on the world today. We see the | light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the world. |
W1:75.6 | The | light has come. I have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.8 | The | light has come. I have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.9 | have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The | light has come. You have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.10 | you. From this time forth you will see differently. Today the | light has come. And you will see the world that has been promised you |
W1:75.12 | The | light has come. I have forgiven the world. |
W1:75.14 | The | light has come. I have forgiven you. |

W1:78.3 | your grievances, and as you lay them down, he will appear in shining | light where each one stood before. For every grievance is a block to |
W1:78.3 | lifts, you see the Son of God where he has always been. He stands in | light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance made the darkness |
W1:78.8 | we may look on him a different way and see our savior shining in the | light of true forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name |
W1:78.9 | You have appointed as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy | light In which he stands, that I may join with him. |
W1:78.10 | and as you think of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the | light in him beyond your grievances. What you have asked for cannot |
W1:78.12 | when we allow each one we meet to save us and refuse to hide his | light behind our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you |
W1:80.2 | to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the | light of truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing |
W1:81.2 | [61] I am the | light of the world. How holy am I, who have been given the function |
W1:81.2 | up the world! Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm | light, let all my conflicts disappear. In its peace, let me remember |
W1:81.4 | Let me not obscure the | light of the world in me. Let the light of the world shine through |
W1:81.4 | Let me not obscure the light of the world in me. Let the | light of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow will |
W1:81.4 | shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before the | light. |
W1:81.5 | [62] Forgiveness is my function as the | light of the world. It is through accepting my function that I will |
W1:81.5 | the world. It is through accepting my function that I will see the | light in me. And in this light will my function stand clear and |
W1:81.5 | accepting my function that I will see the light in me. And in this | light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before |
W1:81.5 | I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the | light I will see it as it is. |
W1:82.2 | [63] The | light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. |
W1:82.2 | through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the | light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the |
W1:82.2 | me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the | light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the |
W1:82.4 | Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name]. I share the | light of the world with you, [name]. Through my forgiveness I can see |
W1:84.5 | are completely alien to love. Grievances attack love and keep its | light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking love and therefore |
W1:85.2 | [69] My grievances hide the | light of the world in me. My grievances show me what is not there and |
W1:85.2 | do I want my grievances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the | light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision |
W1:85.2 | for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and | light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me |
W1:85.2 | and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but | light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay |
W1:85.4 | Let me not use this as a block to sight. The | light of the world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. |
W1:85.5 | me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the | light that shines in me and in itself. |
W1:86.4 | in God's plan for my salvation. Let me perceive this only in the | light of God's plan for salvation. |
W1:87.2 | [73] I will there be | light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to |
W1:87.2 | darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. | Light shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, |
W1:87.4 | This cannot hide the | light I will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light |

W1:87.4 | the light I will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the | light this will look different. |
W1:88.2 | [75] The | light has come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely |
W1:88.2 | truth and illusion, between what is there and what is not. The | light has come. I can but choose the light, for it has no |
W1:88.2 | is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but choose the | light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the darkness, and |
W1:88.4 | This cannot show me darkness, for the | light has come. The light in you is all that I would see, [name]. I |

W1:91.14 | regular intervals remind yourself that miracles are seen in | light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's idea. This form |
W1:91.15 | Miracles are seen in | light. Let me not close my eyes because of this. |
W1:92.1 | for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think of | light in terms of strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is |
W1:92.3 | It is God's strength in you that is the | light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His |

W1:92.5 | there should be light. Strength comes from truth and shines with | light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its |
W1:92.6 | sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all, and so it gives its | light that all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is shared |
W1:92.7 | here, but only hate. It separates itself from what it sees, while | light and strength perceive themselves as one. |
W1:92.8 | The | light of strength is not the light you see. It does not change and |
W1:92.8 | The light of strength is not the | light you see. It does not change and flicker and go out. It does not |
W1:92.8 | night to day and back to darkness till the morning comes again. The | light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give |
W1:92.8 | abode can leave without a miracle before his eyes and strength and | light abiding in his heart. |
W1:92.9 | The strength in you will offer you the | light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell on idle shadows that |
W1:92.9 | that the body's eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and | light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to |
W1:92.10 | Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength will be the | light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark |
W1:92.10 | the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the | light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to |
W1:92.10 | to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where | light and strength are one. |
W1:92.11 | we are being introduced to sight and led away from darkness to the | light, where only miracles can be perceived. |

W1:153.11 | you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you will not see the | light until you offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from |

W1:188.1 | not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the | light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from |
W1:188.1 | world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The | light came with you from your native home and stayed with you because |

W1:188.4 | the gift, does God Himself give thanks. And in His blessing does the | light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to |
W1:188.6 | Sit quietly and close your eyes. The | light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift |
W1:188.8 | We practice coming nearer to the | light in us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring |
W1:188.8 | thoughts we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the | light within our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed |
W1:188.10 | things shine upon me in that peace, and let me bless them with the | light in me. |
W1:189.1 | There is a | light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you will |

W1:189.2 | of your holy sleep. It sees salvation in you and protects the | light in you in which it sees its own. It offers you its flowers and |
W1:189.3 | which forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its gentle | light to everyone is inconceivable to those who see a world of |
W1:190.11 | in place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the | light of Heaven for the darkness of the world. |
W1:191.12 | more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your glory is the | light that saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look |
W1:192.3 | What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking that the | light of day already shines in them. And eyes already opening behold |
W1:192.7 | we need forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly | light we grope in darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and |
W1:192.7 | dreams and fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the | light, our minds engaged in worshipping what is not there. |
W1:193.2 | by which perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the | light of Heaven shine upon it. It is He Who answers what His Son |
W1:194.5 | which was slave to time, transformed into a holy instant when the | light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the world. |
W1:196.3 | are a body to be crucified. And you will see within today's idea the | light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and |
W1:197.8 | your Self. And you are still as God created you. Nor can you dim the | light of your perfection. In your heart, the Heart of God is laid. He |
W1:198.9 | bestows these words upon your mind that you may find the key to | light and let the darkness end: |
W1:198.13 | a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil | light across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And |
W2:224.1 | beneficent and free from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give it | light. It lights the world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, |

W2:WS.4 | in new perception. Night has gone, and we have come together in the | light. |
W2:237.1 | accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow the | light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the |

W2:239.2 | we honor it because You share it with us. We are one, united in this | light, and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves. |

W2:252.1 | Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any | light that I have ever looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an |
W2:265.1 | There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my “sins” obscure the | light of Heaven, shining on the world. What is reflected here is in |
W2:274.1 | Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, | light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You |
W2:WIHS.1 | are dreams all carried to the truth, to be dispelled before the | light of knowledge. There are sights and sounds forever laid aside. |
W2:283.1 | not worship idols. I am He my Father loves. His holiness remains the | light of Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You |
W2:283.1 | the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the | light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You |

W2:299.2 | Illusions can obscure it but cannot put out its radiance nor dim its | light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all things |
W2:WISC.5 | us rejoice that we can do God's Will and join together in its holy | light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our |
W2:302.1 | whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and | light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness |
W2:302.1 | is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness into | light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive |
W2:304.2 | You lead me from the darkness to the | light, from sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive |
W2:313.2 | when we are joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the | light in us. |
W2:314.2 | will keep Your present promises and guide the future in their holy | light. |
W2:WIE.5 | Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into | light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace |
W2:332.1 | chains, believing in its own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the | light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope and |
W2:333.2 | Father, forgiveness is the | light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt and light |
W2:333.2 | is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt and | light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our |
W2:333.2 | conflict and all doubt and light the way for our return to You. No | light but this can end our evil dreams. No light but this can save |
W2:333.2 | for our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dreams. No | light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in |

W1:92.2 | at this insane idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that | lights the sun and gives it all its warmth or that you had the |
W1:129.9 | eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the | lights that are not of this world light one by one until where one |

Tx:4.97 | truly communicate, His creations naturally communicate with Him and | like Him. This communication is perfectly abstract in that its |
Tx:4.99 | because real creation gives everything, since it can create only | like itself. Remember that in being there is no difference between |
Tx:4.102 | of God, and He will return their praise of Him because they are | like Him, and they can rejoice together. God goes out to them and |
Tx:5.13 | the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are | like those in the Kingdom of Heaven itself. |
Tx:5.27 | My mind will always be | like yours, because we were created as equals. It was only my |
Tx:5.30 | you how to keep me as the model for your thought and to behave | like me as a result. |
Tx:5.57 | joint will of all the Sonship is the only creator that can create | like the Father, because only the complete can think completely, and |
Tx:5.63 | that you must learn to think with God. To think with Him is to think | like Him. This engenders joy, not guilt, because it is natural. Guilt |
Tx:5.67 | The Holy Spirit, | like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the |
Tx:5.67 | you have made can always be changed, because when you do not think | like God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional ideas are not |
Tx:5.72 | or abandonment and thus ensure that the future will remain | like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it a false |
Tx:6.4 | The crucifixion is nothing more than an extreme example. Its value, | like the value of any teaching device, lies solely in the kind of |
Tx:6.8 | I have made it perfectly clear that I am | like you and you are like me, but our fundamental equality can be |
Tx:6.8 | I have made it perfectly clear that I am like you and you are | like me, but our fundamental equality can be demonstrated only |
Tx:6.20 | whose whole gospel is only the message of love. These are not | like the several slips into impatience which I made. I had learned |
Tx:6.57 | Like any good teacher, the Holy Spirit does know more than you do | |
Tx:6.61 | did. Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not willing at all. | Like any other impossible solution which the ego attempts, it will |
Tx:6.94 | teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches | like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of you, but remember |
Tx:7.1 | you share, and because you share it, you are inspired to create | like God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God, |
Tx:7.2 | extend outward. God's accomplishments are not yours. But yours are | like His. He created the Sonship, and you increase it. You have the |
Tx:7.4 | always willing to make a “deal,” but it cannot understand that to be | like another means that no deals are possible. To gain you must give, |
Tx:7.4 | giving, and this is not God's Will. To will with God is to create | like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any way. You are His gifts, |
Tx:7.4 | His gifts in any way. You are His gifts, and so your gifts must be | like His. Your gifts to the Kingdom must be like His gifts to you. |
Tx:7.4 | so your gifts must be like His. Your gifts to the Kingdom must be | like His gifts to you. |
Tx:7.6 | To think | like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to create like |
Tx:7.6 | like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to create | like Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the |
Tx:7.13 | as a mind can [he overcome this]. Then he is free to use terms | like “intramental” and “intermental” without seeing them as different |
Tx:7.14 | Himself created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create | like Him, follow it gladly, knowing that the increase of the Kingdom |
Tx:7.18 | is why it is the Kingdom of God. It belongs to Him and is therefore | like Him. That is its reality, and nothing can assail it. |
Tx:7.19 | much it is not there. Actually, this does not mean anything. It is | like negative numbers in that the concept can be used theoretically, |
Tx:7.32 | at all. Science is nothing more than an approach to what already is. | Like inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and will be |
Tx:7.40 | need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act | like the mind and is therefore self-sufficient. Yet we have learned |
Tx:7.46 | your whole meaning, and your only meaning, comes from His and is | like His. God cannot be out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be |
Tx:7.76 | own perfection until you have honored all those who were created | like you. |
Tx:7.96 | truth it is impossible. Your self-fullness is as boundless as God's. | Like His, it extends forever and in perfect peace. Its radiance is so |
Tx:7.112 | to be co-creator with God, because only the whole Sonship can create | like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by recognizing his worth, you |
Tx:7.113 | The Kingdom of God includes all His Sons and their children, who are | like the Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, |
Tx:7.113 | all His Sons and their children, who are like the Sons as they are | like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you will know all |
Tx:8.14 | this is how you were created. Because your Creator creates only | like Himself, you are like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power |
Tx:8.14 | created. Because your Creator creates only like Himself, you are | like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power and glory and are |
Tx:8.32 | which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be | like me, I will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to |
Tx:8.37 | to make whole. Therefore, to heal is to unite with those who are | like you, because perceiving this likeness is to recognize the |
Tx:8.45 | what is real except the creations of God and those which are created | like His? Your creations love you as your Soul loves your Father for |
Tx:8.48 | by thought. God does not contradict Himself, and His Sons, who are | like Him, cannot contradict themselves or Him. Yet their thought is |
Tx:8.98 | that punishment is inevitable, attempts to teach himself to | like it. The truth is, very simply, that no one wants either |
Tx:9.25 | you find light by analyzing darkness as the psychotherapist does or | like the theologian, by acknowledging darkness in yourself and |
Tx:9.37 | until you remember God's open arms and finally know His open mind. | Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a mind like His. In |
Tx:9.37 | open mind. Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a mind | like His. In your open mind are your creations, in perfect |
Tx:9.54 | but you are exalted. And in your exalted state, you seek others | like you and rejoice with them. |
Tx:9.61 | but He gave you the power to create for your self so you could be | like Him. That is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the love |
Tx:9.95 | he is an insane idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem | like many different things he is but one idea—the denial of God. |
Tx:9.105 | to yourself are meaningless, but your gifts to your creations are | like His because they are given in His Name. That is why your |
Tx:10.8 | Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon those who create | like Him. You do not know this simply because you have tried to limit |
Tx:10.9 | not childless. Because He did not will to be alone, He created a Son | like Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to |
Tx:10.11 | heritage because His one gift is Himself. How can you give except | like Him if you would know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit |
Tx:10.13 | will death for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is | like Him. Creation is your will because it is His. |
Tx:10.15 | Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be | like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His Son |
Tx:10.20 | but only because your care is a sign that you want Him. Think | like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a blazing |
Tx:10.21 | your will and your Father's be wholly joined. To have Him is to be | like Him, and He has given Himself to you. You who have God must be |
Tx:10.25 | and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you what this will be | like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can tell you and remind |
Tx:10.27 | all darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you are | like Him. |
Tx:10.68 | a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part must be | like mine if you learn it of me. If you believe that yours is |
Tx:10.68 | To God all things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be | like the Father. |
Tx:10.70 | they are eternal because they are loving. And being loving, they are | like the Father and therefore cannot die. The real world can actually |
Tx:10.71 | unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is true is | like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only this will |
Tx:11.41 | parts of the Sonship, for God is whole, and all His extensions are | like Him. |
Tx:11.91 | to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it will roll up | like a long carpet which has spread along the past behind you and |
Tx:12.10 | Yet in your disordered state, you are not afraid of fear. You do not | like it, but it is not your desire to attack which really frightens |
Tx:12.18 | you see it in your brothers, for though they may deceive themselves, | like you they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving |
Tx:12.26 | on guilt enables it to ensure its continuity by making the future | like the past and thus avoiding the present. By the notion of paying |
Tx:12.31 | of time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for | like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time as its own. |
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:13.11 | if you would free yourselves. Atonement stands between them | like a lamp that shines so brightly that the chain of darkness in |
Tx:13.13 | and if you place your faith in the past, the future will be | like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of |
Tx:13.28 | can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His Will is | like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God, as He |
Tx:13.30 | 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 guiltless in |
Tx:13.33 | Like you my faith and my belief are centered on what I treasure. The | |
Tx:13.59 | Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it | |
Tx:13.59 | Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. | Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth into |
Tx:13.62 | may join Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For, | like your brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed |
Tx:13.87 | You who belong to the First Cause, created by Him | like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than merely guiltless. |
Tx:14.4 | incapable of understanding one another. Each perceives the other as | like himself, making them unable to communicate because each sees the |
Tx:14.29 | Defenses, | like everything you made, must be gently turned to your own good, |
Tx:14.37 | which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to create | like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of |
Tx:14.71 | as one in God, so do we learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as | like to His Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does God |
Tx:14.71 | miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears. Teach | like Him here, and you will remember that you have always created |
Tx:14.71 | like Him here, and you will remember that you have always created | like your Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased, having |
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:15.28 | The power and the glory that lie in you from God are for all who, | like you, perceive themselves as little and have deceived themselves |
Tx:15.50 | had seen yourself as without love, you could not have judged them so | like you in lack. |
Tx:15.52 | the values from the past, you would see them all the same and | like yourself. Nor would you see any separation between yourself and |
Tx:15.59 | by sharing. What you find difficult to accept is the fact that, | like your Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can give |
Tx:15.59 | to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. And | like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without loss, and |
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:15.95 | perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It seems | like many, but it is all the same. For though the ego takes many |
Tx:16.2 | it sees itself and would increase itself by sharing what is | like itself.] Make no mistake about this maneuver; the ego always |
Tx:16.20 | seen and heard and recognize it. Can you be alone with witnesses | like these? |
Tx:16.38 | be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly | like unto Him, completing Him by your completion. Fear not to cross |
Tx:17.7 | or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And nothing will you value | like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that made |
Tx:17.16 | as holiness does, by gathering to itself what it perceives as | like itself. |
Tx:17.20 | forgotten, what remains is eternal. And the transformed past is made | like the present. No longer does the past conflict with now. This |
Tx:17.34 | with gilded threads of self-destruction. The glitter of blood shines | like rubies, and the tears are faceted like diamonds and gleam in the |
Tx:17.34 | The glitter of blood shines like rubies, and the tears are faceted | like diamonds and gleam in the dim light in which the offering is |
Tx:17.43 | is the expression of the holy instant in living in this world. | Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a practical |
Tx:18.7 | touched with insanity and swirling lightly off on a mad course | like feathers dancing insanely in the wind, have no substance. They |
Tx:18.57 | of reality, only some of which were love. Yet love must be forever | like itself, changeless forever and forever without alternative. And |
Tx:18.73 | you but appreciate the whole, you would see instantly that it is | like the smallest sunbeam to the sun or like the faintest ripple on |
Tx:18.73 | see instantly that it is like the smallest sunbeam to the sun or | like the faintest ripple on the surface of the ocean. In its amazing |
Tx:18.76 | Like to the sun and ocean your Self continues, unmindful that this | |
Tx:18.78 | Love knows no bodies and reaches to everything created | like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning. It is completely |
Tx:18.90 | This heavy-seeming barrier, this artificial floor which looks | like rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid |
Tx:18.90 | barrier, this artificial floor which looks like rock, is | like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall before |
Tx:19.11 | of everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him | like you and therefore loved by you as yourself. It is His love that |
Tx:19.24 | correctable, and so easily escaped from that its whole correction is | like walking through a mist into the sun? For that is all it is. |
Tx:19.29 | Time is | like a downward spiral which seems to travel down from a long, |
Tx:19.73 | it has no feeling. It transmits to you the feelings that you want. | Like any communication medium, the body receives and sends the |
Tx:19.76 | receiving from the Father and offering His messages unto the Son. | Like the ego, the Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. |
Tx:19.91 | The fourth obstacle to be surmounted hangs | like a heavy veil before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises |
Tx:19.91 | For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ Himself | like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's love which |
Tx:19.105 | toss it lightly and with happy laughter away from him. Press it not | like thorns against his brow, nor nail him to it unredeemed and |
Tx:20.19 | A simple question yet remains and needs an answer. Do you | like what you have made—a world of murder and attack through which |
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 |
Tx:20.21 | holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is | like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful because they see |
Tx:20.41 | is but one. The little breath of eternity that runs through time | like golden light is all the same—nothing before it, nothing |
Tx:20.43 | Can you evaluate the giver of a gift | like this? Would you exchange this gift for any other? This gift |
Tx:20.57 | You have a real relationship, and it has meaning. It is as | like your real relationship with God as equal things are like unto |
Tx:20.57 | It is as like your real relationship with God as equal things are | like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you |
Tx:20.62 | see the body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, | like relationships, has no order. You either see or not. |
Tx:21.3 | world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really looks | like is unknown to them. They must infer what could be seen from |
Tx:21.4 | 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. You can |
Tx:21.8 | quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar, | like a song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in |
Tx:21.27 | The Son's creations are | like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the Son does not delude |
Tx:21.39 | are opposites and cannot meaningfully join in any way. It is | like saying that the moon and sun are one because they come with |
Tx:21.52 | it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it will not ask it. | Like all that stems from reason, the basic question is obvious, |
Tx:21.60 | thoughts? And how could thoughts that enter into what but seems | like yours alone have no effect at all on what is yours? If minds are |
Tx:21.65 | Reason, | like love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The |
Tx:21.67 | This gracious plan was given love by Love. And what Love plans is | like Itself in this: being united, It would have you learn what you |
Tx:21.72 | into a poisoned 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, |
Tx:21.87 | same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be | like itself and sees it so. Nothing has power to confound its |
Tx:22.3 | has Heaven's holiness. How far from home can a relationship so | like to Heaven be? |
Tx:22.10 | do not understand it yet, only because your whole communication is | like a baby's. The sounds a baby makes and what he hears are highly |
Tx:22.11 | and yet more ancient than the old illusion that it has replaced, is | like a baby now in its rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision |
Tx:22.15 | Christ comes to what is | like Himself; the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto |
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:24.21 | not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your brother is | like you. Not special, but possessed of everything including you. |
Tx:24.28 | open to attack that just a word, a little whisper that you do not | like, a circumstance that suits you not, or an event that you did not |
Tx:24.29 | is it possible the two can ever be the same while specialness stands | like a flaming sword of death between them and makes them “enemies.” |
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:30.2 | tell yourself there is a way in which this very day can happen just | like that. Then try again to have the day you want. |
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 |

W1:107.2 | you were loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be | like to have that moment be extended to the end of time and to |
W1:107.10 | gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your brother and so | like to you your Father knows that you are both the same. It is your |

W1:127.1 | no kinds nor levels, no divergencies and no distinctions. It is | like itself, unchanged throughout. It never alters with a person or a |

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 |
W2:326.1 | know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to create | like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow |

Tx:5.92 | Why should you | listen to the endless insane calls which you think are made upon you |

Tx:8.44 | Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and learn what God's | |
Tx:8.78 | in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your willingness to | listen until you will not to tolerate anything except truth. When you |

Tx:14.1 | in the very mind where God Himself has placed it. If you would but | listen and learn how impossible this is! Do not endow Him with |
Tx:14.5 | There is nothing of value here and everything of value there. | Listen to the Holy Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to |

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 |
Tx:31.82 | own. Can you to whom God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to | listen when you learn that it is you for whom He asks release? And |
Tx:31.93 | in him. My brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and | listen to my words. I ask for nothing but your own release. There is |
W1:49.1 | It is quite possible to | listen to God's Voice all through the day without interrupting your |

Tx:5.61 | will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The ego is quite | literally a fearful thought. |
Tx:5.85 | Unless a mind is fixed in its purpose, it is not clear. Clarity | literally means the state of light, and enlightenment is |
Tx:6.12 | found His church on you because you who accept me as a model are | literally my disciples. Disciples are followers, but if the model |
Tx:7.25 | When I said, “I am with you always,” I meant it | literally. I am not absent to anyone in any situation. Because I am |
Tx:7.31 | The dispirited are depressed, because they believe that they are | literally “without the Spirit,” which is an illusion. You do not put |
Tx:7.50 | it; and it does not love it. It incorporates to take away. It | literally believes that every time it deprives someone of something, |
Tx:7.90 | and affirming your true identification with the whole Kingdom as | literally part of you. This identification is as beyond doubt as it |
Tx:7.110 | the love of God to everything you see and touch and remember are | literally denying Heaven to yourselves. I call upon you again to |
Tx:8.86 | the references to the outcomes of love which should be taken | literally because the Bible is about love, being about God. |
Tx:8.88 | I could do things you cannot do. Given this, and given this quite | literally, there can be nothing which prevents you from doing exactly |
Tx:9.17 | it, and you have judged it by the same standard as I have. The ego | literally lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do not |
Tx:9.51 | establishes your freedom. Even the faintest hint of your reality | literally drives the ego from your mind because of complete lack of |
Tx:10.69 | The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be | literally true, for the eternal are not re-created. To perceive anew |
Tx:12.35 | only reality is in your own mind, and by attacking others, you are | literally attacking what is not there. |
Tx:15.20 | from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance, which will | literally blind you to this world by its own vision, you cannot |
Tx:16.28 | is, being joined within it. And so the one who would cross over is | literally transported there. |
Tx:17.12 | as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness | literally transforms vision and lets you see the real world reaching |
Tx:18.17 | Dreams are perceptual temper tantrums in which you | literally scream, “I want it thus!” And thus it seems to be. And yet |
Tx:21.49 | Perception selects and makes the world you see. It | literally picks it out as the mind directs. The laws of size and |
Tx:22.29 | the beginning of a vision that has meaning. Vision is sense, quite | literally. If it is not the body's sight, it must be understood. For |
W1:R1.3 | It is not necessary to cover the comments that follow each idea | literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, try merely |
W1:69.2 | several minutes in thinking about what we are trying to do. We are | literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the world. |
M:4.8 | to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its potential is | literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the point in |
little (458) | ||
Tx:1.88 | His gifts are freely given to everyone alike. “Except ye become as | little children” means that, unless you fully recognize your complete |
Tx:1.105 | and the holy. Do not lose sight of this. The love of God for a | little while must still be expressed through one body to another, |
Tx:2.35 | into all your actions as the true criteria for behavior, I will have | little difficulty in clarifying the means. You have not learned to be |
Tx:2.56 | necessary to protect the mind by denying the unmindful. [There is | little doubt that the mind can miscreate.] If one denies this |
Tx:2.88 | experiences fear, and no one enjoys it. Yet it would take very | little right-thinking to realize why fear occurs. Very few people |
Tx:3.30 | We have been emphasizing perception and have said very | little about cognition as yet, because you are confused about the |
Tx:3.30 | about the difference between them. The reason we have dealt so | little with cognition is because you must get your perceptions |
Tx:4.52 | idea you ever had that opposes knowledge. You retain thousands of | little scraps of meanness which prevent the Holy One from entering. |
Tx:4.55 | vigilance you have been willing to exert to protect your ego and how | little you have been willing to expend to protect your higher mind. |
Tx:4.82 | its essential difference from everything else the mind can grasp. “A | little knowledge” is not dangerous except to the ego. Vaguely it |
Tx:4.82 | ego. Vaguely it senses threat, and being unable to realize that “a | little knowledge” is a meaningless phrase since “all” and “a little” |
Tx:4.82 | that, since “all” is impossible, the fear does not lie there. “A | little,” however, is a scarcity concept, and this the ego understands |
Tx:4.82 | is a scarcity concept, and this the ego understands well. “A | little,” then, is perceived as the real threat. |
Tx:4.86 | can easily flow across it and obliterate it forever. You have very | little trust in me as yet, but it will increase as you turn more and |
Tx:4.90 | you to the Holy One, and through my perception, He can bridge the | little gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I |
Tx:4.90 | to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know God. A | little knowledge is an all-encompassing thing. If you are grateful to |
Tx:4.103 | over the overt neglect of those in need of help, but it is often | little more than a painful attempt on the part of the halt to lead |
Tx:5.11 | which is so close to truth that God Himself can flow across the | little gap. Knowledge is always ready to flow everywhere, but it |
Tx:5.48 | distinction is wise though incomplete. Let us make the distinction a | little sharper now. Neurotic guilt feelings are a device of the ego |
Tx:6.7 | Assault can ultimately be made only on the body. There is | little doubt that one body can assault another and can even destroy |
Tx:7.47 | in return. His teaching is limited, because he is learning so | little. His healing lesson is limited by his own ingratitude, which |
Tx:8.61 | Its purpose is seen as fragmented into many functions which bear | little or no relationship to each other, so that it appears to be |
Tx:8.81 | this part only is up to you. The rest is of itself. You need do so | little, because it is so powerful that your little part will bring |
Tx:8.81 | itself. You need do so little, because it is so powerful that your | little part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little |
Tx:8.81 | that your little part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your | little part, and let the whole be yours. |
Tx:8.116 | it inevitable that you will not value what you receive. Valuing it | little, you will not appreciate it and will not want it. |
Tx:8.117 | it by what you give. To believe that it is possible to get much for | little is to believe that you can bargain with God. God's laws are |
Tx:9.4 | If you do not hear Him, you are listening to your ego and making as | little sense as the brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be |
Tx:9.43 | as insane. With the grandeur of God in you, you have chosen to be | little and to lament your littleness. Within the system which |
Tx:9.92 | that the rays can never be completely forgotten. If you but see the | little spark, you will learn of the greater light, for the rays are |
Tx:9.92 | heal, but knowing the light will create. Yet in the returning, the | little light must be acknowledged first, for the separation was a |
Tx:10.3 | system, the darker and more obscure becomes the way. Yet even the | little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. Bring this light |
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:10.21 | need not be perfect, because His is. If you will merely offer Him a | little place, He will lighten it so much that you will gladly extend |
Tx:10.25 | name, for your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak | little world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so |
Tx:10.27 | the dark way, are all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the | little spark in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you |
Tx:10.61 | interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow | little beliefs which are unworthy of God's Son. For until Christ |
Tx:10.75 | of all perception to knowledge. The Bible tells you to become as | little children. Little children recognize that they do not |
Tx:10.75 | to knowledge. The Bible tells you to become as little children. | Little children recognize that they do not understand what they |
Tx:10.82 | to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to ask for deprivation. | Little Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You |
Tx:11.17 | Remember what we said about the frightening perceptions of | little children which terrify them because they do not understand |
Tx:11.17 | know what his perceptions mean. Yet you believe that you do know. | Little children, you are hiding your heads under the covers of the |
Tx:11.20 | A | little while and you will see me, for I am not hidden because you are |
Tx:11.21 | not fail in your mission because I failed not in mine. Give me but a | little trust in the name of the complete trust I have in you, and we |
Tx:12.9 | Little children, this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is nothing, and | |
Tx:12.14 | You are afraid it would sweep you away from yourself and make you | little. For you believe that magnitude lies in defiance and that |
Tx:12.17 | any thoughts which you may fear to uncover. For He will heal every | little thought which you have kept to hurt you and cleanse it of its |
Tx:12.39 | Little children, would you offer this to your Father? For if you | |
Tx:13.20 | what you believed to be less fearful. You are therefore willing with | little opposition to look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath |
Tx:13.55 | You will believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A | little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a body or a war are one to |
Tx:13.75 | of help, and Help that knows the answer. Would you be content with | little, which is all that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who |
Tx:14.2 | without you. You who have thrown your selves away and valued God so | little, hear me speak for Him and for yourselves. You cannot |
Tx:14.29 | asked to do mighty tasks yourself. You are merely asked to do the | little He suggests you do, trusting Him only to the small extent of |
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:14.48 | and in great numbers. You are so used to this that it can cause you | little surprise. |
Tx:14.50 | The | little sanity which still remains is held together by a sense of |
Tx:14.67 | make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so | little. Yet He cannot compel His Son to turn to Him and remain |
Tx:14.68 | it is impossible. It is only because you think that you can run some | little part or deal with certain aspects of your lives alone that the |
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:15.27 | deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make | little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for |
Tx:15.27 | clearly and in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every | little gift the world of littleness would offer you. But for this, |
Tx:15.28 | in you from God are for all who, like you, perceive themselves as | little and have deceived themselves into believing that littleness |
Tx:15.29 | to His Son's creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond your | little world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He brings all |
Tx:15.30 | know not what love means because you have sought to purchase it with | little gifts, thus valuing it too little to be able to understand its |
Tx:15.30 | have sought to purchase it with little gifts, thus valuing it too | little to be able to understand its magnitude. Love is not little, |
Tx:15.30 | 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. Before the |
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:15.57 | You have so | little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact |
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:16.63 | body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here. For the | little spark which holds the Great Rays within it is also visible, |
Tx:16.64 | see is grossly distorted and completely out of perspective. What is | little and insignificant is magnified, and what is strong and |
Tx:16.69 | The Holy Spirit asks only this | little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a special |
Tx:17.7 | made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a | little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will |
Tx:17.8 | to hide the truth. The bridge between that world and this is so | little and so easy to cross that you could not believe it is the |
Tx:17.8 | not believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this | little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this world at |
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:17.49 | He has given you a most explicit statement? Now He asks for faith a | little longer, even in bewilderment. For this will go, and you will |
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:28.66 | his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home of holiness a | little while because it shares your Father's Will with you. |
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 |
Tx:31.6 | sure as God, and far beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your | little learning, strange in outcome and incredible in difficulty, |
Tx:31.33 | Thus you think within the narrow band from birth to death a | little time is given you to use for you alone, a time when everyone |
Tx:31.45 | This aspect never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred | little things make small assaults upon its innocence, provoking it to |
Tx:31.53 | does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks if just a | little question might be raised. |
Tx:31.70 | decreasingly persistent in your sight and will at length be seen as | little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And this will |
Tx:31.93 | Deny me not the | little gift I ask when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace |
W1:3.2 | to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how | little you really understand about them. It is therefore essential |
W1:5.7 | mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how | little you think it is doing so. |
W1:8.4 | you may picture a thought, you are not seeing anything. With as | little investment as possible, search your mind for the usual minute |
W1:9.2 | No more than that is required for these or any other exercises. Each | little step will clear a little of the darkness away, and |
W1:9.2 | for these or any other exercises. Each little step will clear a | little of the darkness away, and understanding will finally come to |
W1:10.6 | you are watching an oddly assorted procession going by, which has | little if any personal meaning to you. As each one crosses your mind, |
W1:11.4 | periods today will probably be sufficient. However, if there is | little or no uneasiness and an inclination to do more, as many as |
W1:15.2 | meaning for you. You will begin to understand it when you have seen | little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see |
W1:16.1 | There is no exception to this fact. Thoughts are not big or | little, powerful or weak. They are merely true or false. Those which |
W1:20.3 | all that vision requires. What you want is yours. Do not mistake the | little effort that is asked of you for a sign that our goal is of |
W1:20.3 | little effort that is asked of you for a sign that our goal is of | little worth. Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? |
W1:27.1 | exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a | little nearer. |
W1:28.3 | tiny experience of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your | little personal thoughts. |
W1:29.3 | Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose stands beyond your | little range. When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up |
W1:36.1 | as well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin a | little. You are sinless or not. If your mind is part of God's, you |
W1:38.4 | of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to make as | little distinction as possible between a situation that is difficult |
W1:40.3 | Today's exercises take | little time and no effort. Repeat today's idea, and then add several |
W1:44.4 | recommended, but only if you find the time merely slipping by with | little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use today |
W1:44.6 | If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so | little, you will have no difficulty in recognizing that its |
W1:45.11 | as yet to realize how high you are trying to go. Yet even with the | little understanding you have already gained, you should be able to |
W1:65.6 | would interfere with it. Note each one as it comes to you with as | little involvement or concern as possible, dismissing each one by |
W1:66.16 | probably less, to repeat these words slowly and think about them a | little while you say them. |
W1:68.5 | out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so | little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever again. |
W1:69.7 | begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your | little effort and small determination call on the power of the |
W1:72.7 | do not let yourself be deprived of what the body offers. Take the | little you can get. God gave you nothing. The body is your only |
W1:78.7 | have had with him, the pain he caused you, his neglect, and all the | little and the larger hurts he gave. We will regard his body with its |
W1:91.4 | is impossible, but you are not alone in this. Your efforts, however | little they may be, have strong support. Did you but realize how |
W1:92.1 | This is why you believe that you can change what you see by putting | little bits of glass or other clear material before your eyes held in |
W1:92.10 | in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a | little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing |
W1:95.19 | Do not forget today. We need your help, your | little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks |
W1:96.16 | you cannot fail today. Perhaps your mind remains uncertain yet a | little while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences |
W1:97.3 | closer to your mind. Each time you practice, awareness is brought a | little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. |
W1:97.4 | timelessness beside them. He will offer all His strength to every | little effort which you make. |
W1:97.7 | more. And when it is returned to you, it will surpass in might the | little gift you gave as much as does the radiance of the sun outshine |
W1:98.6 | of every kind and joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a | little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose with |
W1:98.13 | And when the hour is gone and He is there once more to spend a | little time with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all |
W1:98.13 | time with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all | little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with |
W1:100.9 | day that you succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the | little thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the |
W1:100.10 | look upon in place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What | little thought has power to hold you back? What foolish goal can keep |
W1:101.3 | away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are | little more than bones before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is |
W1:102.1 | suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still believe a | little that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is surely |
W1:105.7 | Today our practice periods will start a | little differently. Begin today by thinking of those brothers who |
W1:105.7 | you must return to claim them as your own. Think of your “enemies” a | little while, and tell each one as he occurs to you: |
W1:R3.9 | applying what you learned to them. As a result, you have gained | little reinforcement and have not given it the opportunity to prove |
W1:R3.11 | Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a | little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but |
W1:R3.14 | Do not forget how | little you have learned. Do not forget how much you can learn now. Do |
W1:121.11 | look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a | little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to find some little |
W1:121.11 | —a little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to find some | little spark of brightness shining through the ugly picture which you |
W1:123.1 | the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections, and a | little hesitance, but we can well be grateful for our gains, which |
W1:124.2 | the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a | little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way |
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. |

W1:161.4 | 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? |
W1:166.5 | of the futility he sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his | little lot but dwindles as he goes ahead to nowhere. Still he wanders |
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:I2.2 | itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words become of | little consequence. You will be sure of what you want and what is |
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 |
W1:181.6 | So, for a | little while, without regard to past or future, should such blocks |

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 |
W1:182.11 | letting Him go home completed and completely. He has come as does a | little child who must beseech his father for protection and for love. |
W1:183.4 | Repeat the Name of God and | little names have lost their meaning. No temptation but becomes a |
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 |
W1:183.12 | All | little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The little |

W1:183.12 | All little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The | little things of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of |
W1:184.4 | set against the given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of | little things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of |
W1:184.11 | Use all the | little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet |
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 |
W1:190.6 | and unchangeable forever and forever. And would you deny a | little corner of your mind its own inheritance and keep it as a |
W1:190.8 | the world becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and | little joys give way before the onslaught of the savage pain that |
W1:193.15 | Give all you can and give a | little more, for now we would arise in haste and go unto our Father's |
W1:193.16 | Each hour spend a | little time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson |
W1:193.20 | up to Heaven. God will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the | little steps He asks you take to Him. |
W1:195.3 | bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself, as | little left within his grasping fingers as in yours. |
W1:197.6 | and you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a | little while before He snatches them away again in death. For death |
W2:I.1 | Words will mean | little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. |
W2:I.6 | We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these | little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold |

W2:258.1 | All that is needful is to train our minds to overlook all | little, senseless aims and to remember that our goal is God. His |
W2:258.1 | His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by our pointless | little goals which offer nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue |

M:17.2 | a wish to help. It is this double wish that makes the help of | little value and must lead to undesired outcomes. Nor should it be |
M:18.3 | The body's eyes now “see”; its ears alone are thought to hear. Its | little space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth |

Tx:9.92 | first, for the separation was a descent from magnitude to | littleness. But the spark is still as pure as the great light, |
Tx:12.17 | little thought which you have kept to hurt you and cleanse it of its | littleness, restoring it to the magnitude of God. |

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:15.24 | constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found | littleness, remember this: Every decision which you make stems from |
Tx:15.24 | by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can escape from | littleness. |
Tx:15.25 | it because you have it. All your striving must be directed against | littleness, for it does require vigilance to protect your magnitude |

Tx:15.27 | safety in your minds, untouched by every little gift the world of | littleness would offer you. But for this, you cannot side against Him |
Tx:15.28 | Decide for God through Him. For | littleness and the belief that you can be content with littleness are |

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:15.31 | Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond | littleness. |
Tx:15.34 | be, there will you think you are. Hear not his call for hell and | littleness, but only his call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not |
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:16.51 | out to those who place their faith in littleness. The conviction of | littleness lies in every special relationship, for only the deprived |
Tx:16.63 | within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited long to | littleness. Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of the body |
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 |
Tx:24.13 | omnipotence yet share his power? And who can use him as the gauge of | littleness and be released from limits? You have a function in |
Tx:28.56 | shrink from what it sees and what it hears and hate its frailty and | littleness. And you despise its acts but not your own. It sees and |

Tx:10.36 | holds open. Come unto me who holds it open for you, for while I | live it cannot be shut, and I live forever. God is my life and yours, |
Tx:10.36 | who holds it open for you, for while I live it cannot be shut, and I | live forever. God is my life and yours, and nothing is denied by God |
Tx:10.62 | I am your resurrection and your life. You | live in me because you live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you |
Tx:10.62 | I am your resurrection and your life. You live in me because you | live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can |
Tx:10.62 | in me because you live in God. And everyone lives in you, as you | live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother |
Tx:10.65 | in vain. Teach rather that I did not die by demonstrating that I | live in you. For the undoing of the crucifixion of God's Son is the |
Tx:10.67 | awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is within you. If I | live in you, you are awake. Yet you must see the works I do through |
Tx:10.86 | as sick and achieve your own goal. Brother, we heal together as we | live together and love together. Be not deceived in God's Son, for he |
Tx:11.74 | kill you as the final expression of its feeling for you, it lets you | live but to await death. It will torment you while you live, but its |

Tx:11.78 | mind and all its works were not created by the Father and could not | live in the knowledge of Him. |
Tx:12.21 | in peace, 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 |
Tx:13.52 | to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of the will to | live, which has been blocked by the capricious and unholy whim of |
Tx:14.3 | The Children of Heaven | live in the light of the blessing of their Father because they know |
Tx:14.18 | only the light of love remains, for only this has meaning and can | live in light. Everything else must disappear. |
Tx:14.47 | earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the world you seem to | live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not true that |
Tx:14.49 | true about the thoughts which cross the mind of those who think they | live apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while others are |
Tx:15.40 | You could | live forever in the holy instant, beginning now and reaching to |
Tx:15.104 | was part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and | live within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the |
Tx:16.33 | any purpose which they would not share with others, are trying to | live with guilt rather than die of it. This is the choice they see. |
Tx:16.52 | theme in its litany to sacrifice is that God must die so you can | live. And it is this theme which is acted out in the special |
Tx:18.25 | knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. Fear seems to | live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have stepped back. Let |
Tx:19.57 | can die for anyone, and death does not atone for sin. Yet you can | live to show it is not real. The body does appear to be the symbol of |
Tx:19.78 | and it is gone. But what of those whose dedication it is not to | live—the black-draped “sinners,” the ego's mournful chorus, |
Tx:19.80 | march not in honor of their Creator, Whose Will it is they | live. They are not following it; they are opposing it. |
Tx:20.12 | open door of Heaven, the home we share in quietness, and where we | live in gentleness and peace as one together. |
Tx:20.47 | and any relationship in which they enter has lost its meaning. They | live in secrecy, hating the sunlight and happy in the body's darkness |
Tx:21.7 | Thus they define their life and where they | live, adjusting to it as they think they must, afraid to lose the |
Tx:22.12 | newcomer, dependent on the holiness of your relationship to let Him | live. |
Tx:23.29 | which belongs to you. His treachery demands his death that you may | live. And you attack only in self defense. |

Tx:24.7 | is “worse” than you must be attacked so that your specialness can | live on his defeat. For specialness is triumph, and its victory is |
Tx:24.7 | is triumph, and its victory is his defeat and shame. How can he | live with all your sins upon him? And who must be his conqueror but |
Tx:25.6 | is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the world you want to | live in and the state in which you think your mind will be content |
Tx:26.33 | To you who still believe you | live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides |
Tx:26.33 | still perceive in time, though it has long since gone. You think you | live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an |
Tx:26.40 | him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead of | live. And will you not forgive him now because he made an error in |
Tx:26.42 | the time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die each day to | live again until you cross the gap between past and present, which is |
Tx:26.63 | instant offers life to him because his Father wills that he should | live. |
Tx:27.8 | each one of their unnatural desires and strange needs. For who could | live a life so soon cut short and not esteem the worth of passing |
Tx:27.11 | your brother let its message be, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I | live.” |
Tx:27.49 | thanks withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it might | live. It will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to |
Tx:27.58 | no one can deny, for it is the effects of life it brings. The dying | live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a miracle speaks not |
Tx:27.77 | other bodies dying like itself. In the brief time allotted it to | live, it seeks for other bodies as its friends and enemies. Its |
Tx:28.34 | and break it into days and months and years? And what are you who | live within the world except a picture of the Son of God in broken |
Tx:29.21 | has built to keep apart all living things who know not that they | live. Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of |
Tx:29.25 | choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to | live in dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle does |
Tx:29.70 | Forgiving dreams remind you that you | live in safety and have not attacked yourself. So do your childish |
Tx:30.1 | need to practice them awhile, until they are the rules by which you | live. We seek to make them habits now, so you will have them ready |
Tx:30.30 | Your day is not at random. It is set by what you choose to | live it with and how the friend whose counsel you have sought |
Tx:31.12 | past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to | live, as you are free because an ancient learning passed away and |
Tx:31.71 | You | live in that world just as much as this. For both are concepts of |
W1:49.4 | thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world. You do not | live there. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to |
W1:53.3 | which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot | live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this world is not |
W1:107.9 | our approach today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we | live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with |
W1:121.4 | rising to attack its miserable parody of life. It wants to | live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants forgiveness, yet it sees no |
W1:127.6 | the laws you think you must obey, of all the limits under which you | live, and all the changes which you think are part of human destiny. |
W1:136.10 | Thus is the body stronger than the truth, which asks you | live but cannot overcome your choice to die. And so the body is more |
W1:156.2 | That Life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and | live. |
W1:156.4 | so holy that the world is sanctified because of you. All things that | live bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and gladness at |
W1:158.1 | as well to every living thing, for by that knowledge only does it | live. |
W1:162.2 | the world. The dead awake in answer to its call. And those who | live and hear this sound will never look on death. |
W1:163.6 | in the rest. For death is total. Either all things die or else they | live and cannot die. No compromise is possible. For here again we see |
W1:163.9 | the glorious reflection of Your love which shines in everything. We | live and breathe in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal |
W1:165.2 | you ever been apart from It an instant. It belongs to you. By It you | live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with It, and |
W1:165.6 | remain forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs to | live? Abundance dwells in him, and deprivation cannot cut him off |
W1:166.11 | Now do we | live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the |
W1:167.2 | discomfort or the merest frown, acknowledge death. And thus deny you | live. |
W1:169.15 | By grace I | live. By grace I am released. By grace I give. By grace I will |
W1:180.2 | [169] By grace I | live. By grace I am released. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:182.1 | This world you seem to | live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that |
W1:184.1 | You | live by symbols. You have made up names for everything you see. Each |
W1:188.7 | They remind you that you are the co-creator of all things that | live. For as the peace of God is shining in you, it must shine on |
W1:190.7 | of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind forgiveness does it | live. |

Tx:15.56 | this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there will be guilt as | long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make |

Tx:15.74 | special relationships. Guilt is the only need the ego has, and as | long as you identify with it, guilt will remain attractive to you. |
Tx:15.76 | but the working of the ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As | long as you believe that to be with a body is companionship, you will |
Tx:15.88 | Limit your vision of a brother to his body, which you will do as | long as you would not release him from it, and you have denied his |
Tx:15.89 | the attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak of this and | long remain willing to linger here. For it is your will to be in |
Tx:15.95 | from what it is. Yet it is necessary to examine each one as | long as you would retain the principle which governs all of them. |

Tx:16.32 | off and kept apart. The special love partner is acceptable only as | long as he serves this purpose. Hatred can enter and indeed is |
Tx:16.34 | of hate, but always at the price of making both illusions. As | long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will love be an |

Tx:16.63 | Rays within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited | long to littleness. Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of |
Tx:16.76 | your experience of truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this | long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail |

Tx:18.89 | The body will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as | long as you believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is |
Tx:18.91 | from loveliness to the grotesque. And back and forth they go, as | long as you would play the game of children's make-believe. Yet |
Tx:18.91 | as you would play the game of children's make-believe. Yet however | long you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you bring to |
Tx:19.29 | Time is like a downward spiral which seems to travel down from a | long, unbroken line along another plane but which in no way breaks |
Tx:19.34 | your lips and Heaven's blessing on your sight. You will not see it | long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it when it seems |
Tx:19.55 | before the table of communion. And I will join you there, as | long ago I promised and promise still. For in your new relationship |
Tx:19.82 | dedication which would keep the body incorruptible and perfect as | long as it is useful for your holy purpose. The body no more dies |
Tx:19.110 | his Father. Here is the only purpose that gives this world and the | long journey through this world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond |
Tx:20.20 | outside you in the world. And to this world must you adjust, as | long as you believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. |
Tx:20.21 | Who in a holy relationship can | long remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as |
Tx:20.25 | years, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted and with eyes so | long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap |
Tx:20.25 | hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to take hold on life so | long forgotten. Strengthen your hold and raise your eyes unto your |
Tx:20.57 | have been given one true relationship beyond the body? Can they be | long held back from looking on the face of Christ? And can they long |
Tx:20.57 | be long held back from looking on the face of Christ? And can they | long withhold the memory of their relationship with their Father from |
Tx:21.8 | and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a song whose name is | long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you heard completely |
Tx:21.9 | as this. Listen and see if you remember an ancient song you knew so | long ago and held more dear than any melody you taught yourself to |
Tx:21.25 | as a cause of the events and feelings its maker thinks it causes. | Long ago we spoke of your desire to create your own Creator and be |
Tx:21.31 | for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as | long as he believes he is in chains. And when he is released from |
Tx:21.47 | come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so | long. Heaven has come because it found a home in your relationship on |
Tx:22.1 | Take pity on yourselves, so | long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and |
Tx:22.6 | it says, you cannot understand. Yet you have listened to it. And | long and hard you tried to understand its messages. You did not |
Tx:22.41 | look to the other! How happy you will be to be together after such a | long and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, |
Tx:22.49 | happen when they come together? Can the illusion of immovability be | long defended from what is quietly passed through and gone beyond? |
Tx:22.56 | of everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can | long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And no illusion can |
Tx:22.57 | and serve it willingly. And could remembrance of what they are be | long delayed? |
Tx:23.15 | disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems real only as | long as it is seen as war between conflicting truths, the conqueror |
Tx:23.42 | still contains nothing. And neither the receiver nor the giver is | long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your brother, and you attack |
Tx:24.38 | Long ago we said consider not the means by which salvation is | |
Tx:24.57 | See him as what he is that your deliverance may not be | long. A senseless wandering, without a purpose and without |
Tx:25.2 | him can fail to recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies. And as | long as they believe they are in bodies, where they think they are He |
Tx:25.13 | time or place has anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How | long is needed for you to realize the chance of change in this |
Tx:25.13 | in better outcome? For one thing is sure—the way you see, and | long have seen, gives no support to base your future hopes and no |
Tx:25.33 | And while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so | long will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or |
Tx:25.34 | there is pushed away until it is but distant shadows, far away, not | long to be remembered as the sun shines them to nothingness. And all |
Tx:25.44 | and the light of brilliant day seems painful to the eyes grown | long accustomed to the dim effects perceived at twilight. And they |
Tx:26.33 | small and senseless maze you still perceive in time, though it has | long since gone. You think you live in what is past. Each thing you |
Tx:26.33 | what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, | long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion |
Tx:26.33 | unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was brought to certainty so | long ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart as if it |
Tx:26.34 | world in answer to creation—did this world appear to rise. So very | long ago, for such a tiny interval of time that not one note in |
Tx:26.36 | and dream himself across an ocean to a place and time that have | long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this dream be to where |

Tx:31.69 | You could not recognize your “evil” thoughts as | long as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes, |

W1:17.4 | about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your eye | long enough to say: |
W1:18.3 | subjects for the application of the idea randomly, look at each one | long enough to say: |

W1:40.1 | to it whenever possible. If you forget, try again. If there are | long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, try again. |
W1:41.5 | There will be only one | long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if |
W1:43.18 | Try today not to allow | long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's idea and |
W1:44.9 | If resistance rises in any form, pause | long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes closed unless |

W1:75.2 | Today we celebrate the happy ending to your | long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The light has |
W1:76.4 | things. You call them laws and put them under different names in a | long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose. You |
W1:78.10 | you have asked for cannot be denied. Your savior has been waiting | long for this. He would be free and make his freedom yours. The Holy |
W1:79.3 | the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the problem is. A | long series of different problems seems to confront you, and as one |
W1:94.6 | this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside, go past the | long list of attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have ascribed to |

W1:106.10 | expect an answer. Your request is one whose answer has been waiting | long to be received by you. It will begin the ministry for which you |
W1:109.7 | made glad, a bird with broken wings begins to sing, a stream | long dry begins to flow again. The world is born again each time you |
W1:126.11 | and all your brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for | long, but tell yourself: |

W1:166.4 | indeed and homeless too—an outcast wandering so far from home, so | long away, he does not realize he has forgotten where he came from, |
W1:169.8 | forever to remain as it is now. We merely take the part assigned | long since and fully recognized as perfectly fulfilled by Him Who |
W1:181.8 | thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not seek for | long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the vision of |

W2:I.2 | will continue spending time with Him each morning and at night, as | long as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of |

Tx:2.15 | is correctly perceived as the release from the dream, which is no | longer accorded reality. |
Tx:2.39 | The ability to learn has no value when change of understanding is no | longer necessary. The eternally creative have nothing to learn. Only |

Tx:19.47 | is all that remains of what once seemed to be the world. It is no | longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its pointless wandering makes |
Tx:20.8 | Look you still closer at them now, and you will see your altar is no | longer what it was. |
Tx:20.19 | alone and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little | longer before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made this up. |
Tx:20.51 | not your home. Your temple is not threatened. You are idolaters no | longer. The Holy Spirit's purpose lies safe in your relationship and |
Tx:20.74 | sure—hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that purpose is no | longer held, they disappear. Therefore, the question never is whether |

Tx:21.32 | them completely instead of yours, you will have need of them no | longer. For faith and vision and belief are meaningful only before |
Tx:21.47 | it found a home in your relationship on earth. And earth can hold no | longer what has been given Heaven as its own. |
Tx:21.74 | that no one made him powerless? Reason would surely bid him seek no | longer what is not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to |

Tx:22.38 | you will take now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no | longer serve. No one who reaches this far can make the wrong |
Tx:22.55 | Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no | longer seen, and reason, joined with love, looks quietly on all |
Tx:24.17 | to take their place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you will no | longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a |
Tx:24.54 | face of Christ from him, and you as well. And let the fear of God no | longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's |
Tx:26.36 | is no other teacher and no other way. For what has been undone no | longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore and dream himself |
Tx:26.43 | Forgive the past and let it go, for it is gone. You stand no | longer on the ground that lies between the worlds. You have gone on |
Tx:27.48 | Life is given you to give the dying world. And suffering eyes no | longer will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing gave. The |
Tx:27.58 | It matters not the name by which you called your suffering. It is no | longer there. The One Who brings the miracle perceived them all as |
Tx:28.1 | This world was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no | longer in the mind that thought of them and loved them for a little |
Tx:28.9 | that It has not gone. When you forgive It for your sins, It will no | longer be denied. |
Tx:28.23 | deprived of His effects and powerless to keep them since He was no | longer their Creator. In the dream, the dreamer made himself, but |
Tx:28.35 | and your Self. The door is open that all those may come who would no | longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them |
Tx:29.17 | is asked? For He is told that part of Him belongs to Him no | longer. He must sacrifice your self, and in His sacrifice are you |
Tx:29.43 | Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides and seek no | longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know the |
Tx:30.24 | the day and have remembered what you really want. Its purpose has no | longer been obscured by the insane belief you want it for the goal of |
Tx:30.55 | as reality. You are but asked to let your will be done and seek no | longer for the things you do not want. And you are asked to let |
Tx:30.57 | is perceived and takes the place of idols which are sought no | longer, for their “gifts” are not held dear. No rules are idly set, |
Tx:30.59 | 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 wait |
Tx:30.65 | 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 your hearts. |
Tx:31.1 | false cannot be true, and what is true cannot be false? You can no | longer say that you perceive no differences in false and true. You |
Tx:31.36 | signpost in the world which seems to point to still another road. No | longer look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning |
Tx:31.48 | are has now become his sin. For this is no forgiveness possible. No | longer does it matter what he does, for your accusing finger points |
Tx:31.69 | been forgiven with his, because you let them all affect you not. No | longer did you choose that you should be the sign of evil and of |
Tx:31.79 | remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it no | longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your |
W1:12.2 | time interval. Do not allow the time of the shift to become markedly | longer or shorter, but try, instead, to keep a measured, even tempo |
W1:19.5 | practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and will no | longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be |
W1:26.3 | perception of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no | longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to |
W1:26.6 | not be able to use very many for any one practice period, because a | longer time than usual should be spent with each one. Today's idea |
W1:31.2 | Two | longer periods of practice with the idea for today are needed, one in |
W1:32.1 | see it, as you wish. While you want it, you will see it; when you no | longer want it, it will not be there for you to see. |
W1:32.4 | For the two | longer practice periods, three to five minutes are recommended, with |
W1:34.2 | Three | longer practice periods are required for today's exercises. One in |
W1:34.3 | Some five minutes of mind searching are required for each of the | longer practice periods. Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety |
W1:35.10 | During the | longer exercise periods, there will probably be intervals in which |
W1:36.2 | frequently to protect your protection throughout the day. The | longer practice periods should take this form: |
W1:37.4 | Today's four | longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five minutes of |
W1:38.4 | In the four | longer practice periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, |
W1:39.5 | A full five minutes are urged for the four | longer practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent practice |
W1:39.5 | minutes are urged for the four longer practice periods for today. | Longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If you |
W1:39.5 | If you want to exceed the minimum requirements, more rather than | longer sessions are recommended, although both are encouraged. |
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 |
W1:51.6 | this to defend a thought system which has hurt me and which I no | longer want. I am willing to let it go. |
W1:57.3 | the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no | longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God |
W1:58.2 | does the perception of the real world come. Having forgiven, I no | longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the |
W1:61.8 | and your only purpose here. These two practice periods may be | longer than the rest if you find them helpful and want to extend them. |
W1:65.5 | For this | longer practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then |
W1:65.8 | will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so | longer, attempting to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped |
W1:66.4 | Our | longer practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance of |
W1:66.11 | Think about this during the | longer practice period today. Think also about the many forms which |
W1:67.2 | to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth. In the | longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its |
W1:69.3 | Let us begin our | longer practice period today with the full realization of all this |
W1:70.7 | We are ready for two | longer practice periods today, each of which should last some ten to |
W1:71.9 | Begin the two | longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, and |
W1:72.11 | Our goal in the | longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for |
W1:72.15 | We are no | longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are |
W1:72.18 | periods an hour will be enough for today since they will be somewhat | longer than usual. These exercises begin with this: |
W1:73.10 | We will begin our | longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for |
W1:74.3 | Begin the | longer practice periods by repeating these thoughts several times, |
W1:75.4 | Our | longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which |
W1:75.5 | and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the world. Begin the | longer practice periods by telling yourself the glad tidings of your |
W1:76.7 | We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no | longer a truth which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth |
W1:76.8 | We will begin the | longer practice period today with a short review of the different |
W1:77.4 | Begin the | longer practice periods by telling yourself quite confidently that |
W1:78.7 | Our | longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We will |
W1:79.7 | In our | longer practice periods today, we will ask what the problem is and |
W1:80.4 | In our | longer practice periods today, we will claim the peace that must be |
W1:R2.1 | ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have one | longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in which we practice |
W1:R2.2 | The | longer practice periods will follow this general form: take about 15 |
W1:86.5 | excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. I would no | longer defeat my own best interests in this insane way. I would |
W1:91.6 | Begin the | longer practice periods with this statement of true cause and effect |
W1:93.8 | In our | longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if done |
W1:99.12 | Think of these things in practicing today, and start your | longer practice periods with this instruction in the way of truth: |
W1:100.11 | Do not forget the idea for today between your | longer practice periods. It is your Self Who calls to you today. And |
W1:102.3 | For several days we will continue to devote our | longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach the |
W1:102.4 | Begin the | longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's Will for |
W1:104.4 | Our | longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth |
W1:106.3 | and in love. Hear only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him | longer. Hear one Voice today. |
W1:R3.5 | use for these reviews is this: devote five minutes twice a day, or | longer if you would prefer, to considering the thoughts that are |
W1:R3.10 | we stress the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your | longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief |

Tx:10.41 | it cannot be seen. Clarity undoes confusion by definition, and to | look upon darkness through light must dispel it. Let us begin this |
Tx:10.43 | When we | look at the ego, then, we are not considering dynamics but delusions. |
Tx:11.13 | If you would | look upon love, which is the world's reality, how could you do better |
Tx:11.17 | darkness of your own certainty and refusing to open your eyes and | look at them. |
Tx:11.18 | and so they are not fit gifts for you. Take off the covers and | look at what you are afraid of. Only the anticipation will frighten |
Tx:11.18 | for quietness is the end of strife and this is the journey to peace. | Look straight at every image that rises to delay you, for the goal is |
Tx:11.22 | upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will | look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot |
Tx:11.35 | God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will | look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place, |
Tx:11.40 | for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to | look within yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet |
Tx:11.51 | set yourself is depressing indeed, it is merely ridiculous if you | look at it. Is it possible that the way to achieve a goal is not to |
Tx:11.55 | the world. The 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 |
Tx:11.56 | to the remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He will | look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as |
Tx:11.65 | be convinced? For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you | look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in |
Tx:11.66 | have invited Him. For He will send you His witnesses if you will but | look upon them. Remember always that you see what you seek, for what |
Tx:11.67 | for projection is a law of mind. Perception is projection, and you | look in before you look out. As you look in you choose the guide for |
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:11.67 | is projection, and you look in before you look out. As you | look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you look out and |
Tx:11.67 | out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you | look out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you |
Tx:11.72 | you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you will not | look upon me nor hear the answer which you sought. That is because |
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:11.73 | When you | look within and see me, it will be because you have decided to |
Tx:11.74 | Remember, then, that whenever you | look without and react unfavorably to what you see, you have judged |
Tx:11.76 | that I did not die. You will realize that this is true when you | look within and see me. Would I have overcome death for myself alone? |
Tx:11.76 | the deathless in yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you | look out upon a world that cannot die. |
Tx:11.81 | control yourselves should hardly aspire to control the universe. But | look upon what you have made of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son |
Tx:11.84 | you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of Christ and | look upon it. Its reality will make everything else invisible, for |
Tx:11.84 | else invisible, for beholding it is total perception. And as you | look upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness |
Tx:11.86 | world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt. | Look carefully at this world, and you will realize that this is so. |
Tx:11.90 | guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you | look upon yourselves and judge what you do honestly, as you have been |
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:12.4 | depend on keeping this secret. So it is this secret that we must | look upon calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against truth, and |
Tx:12.8 | and its offerings, but though you do not want the ego, you do not | look upon the alternative with gladness. You are afraid of |
Tx:12.10 | You may wonder why it is so crucial that you | look upon your hatred and realize its full extent. You may also think |
Tx:12.11 | You could | look even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did |
Tx:12.12 | is nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing to | look even upon your savage wish to kill God's Son if you did not |
Tx:12.16 | The reason you must | look upon your delusions and not keep them hidden is that they do not |
Tx:12.22 | answer is the reference point beyond illusions from which you can | look back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and |
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:12.51 | does not change and where there is no sight of what you were, you | look at Christ and call His witnesses to shine on you because you |
Tx:12.55 | so compelling that it will draw the others out of darkness as you | look on them. |
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:13.20 | be less fearful. You are therefore willing with little opposition to | look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath awareness, provided that |
Tx:13.22 | they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not | look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and cannot |
Tx:13.24 | shone within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not | look within and see it. |
Tx:13.25 | is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you will not | look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt |
Tx:13.27 | wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you will not fear to | look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly. |
Tx:13.28 | you is the perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not to | look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through the cloud of guilt |
Tx:13.28 | you were created. Fear not to look upon the lovely truth in you. | Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and look past |
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:13.31 | Behold the Son of God and | look upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon his holiness |
Tx:13.31 | Behold the Son of God and look upon his purity and be still. In quiet | look upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his Father that no guilt |
Tx:13.32 | untouched by guilt and wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us | look upon him together and love him. For in our love of him is your |
Tx:13.32 | and love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But | look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see |
Tx:13.35 | the war is between forces that are real and unreal powers, he could | look upon himself and see his freedom. No one finds himself ravaged |
Tx:13.60 | how foolish it has been. Be glad it is undone, for when you | look at it in simple honesty, it is undone. We said before, “Be not |
Tx:13.61 | in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you will not | look back. |
Tx:13.65 | to using guiltlessness merely to offset the pain of guilt and do not | look upon it as having value in itself. You believe that guilt and |
Tx:13.72 | to His Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or choose to | look upon without imposing on himself the penalty of guilt in place |
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:14.43 | it because he has been taught his need for it but knows not where to | look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you. |
Tx:14.44 | mind is not obscure and will not change. Its meaning to those who | look upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. |
Tx:15.6 | leap from hell into oblivion. The only time the ego allows anyone to | look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And even there |
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:15.67 | for what it is. For having been made real to you, it is essential to | look at it clearly, and by withdrawing your investment in it, to |
Tx:15.69 | of his release, and in the name of Him Who would release him, let us | look more closely at the relationships which the ego contrives and |
Tx:15.69 | Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will | look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of |
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:16.17 | honestly what they have been? God wills you better. Could you not | look with greater charity on whom God loves with perfect love? |
Tx:16.21 | that your Teacher came from beyond your thought system and so could | look upon it fairly and perceive it was untrue. And He must have done |
Tx:16.30 | Be not afraid to | look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom lies in looking |
Tx:16.30 | it go. Your salvation will rise clearly before your open eyes as you | look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love relationship |
Tx:16.36 | How but in illusion could this be done? It is essential that we | look very closely at exactly what it is you think you can do to solve |
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:28.53 | and no darkened tombs where terror rises from the bones of death. | Look at the little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of |
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:30.75 | the meaning of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder to | look past than others are. It always means you think forgiveness must |
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 |
W1:187.3 | this is done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you | look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning. |
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 |

W1:200.7 | 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 |
W2:229.1 | I will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I | look upon attests the truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but |
W2:235.1 | I need but | look upon all things that seem to hurt me and with perfect certainty |
W2:240.1 | that you have seen yourself as you could never be and therefore | look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is |
W2:243.1 | of judgment which I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I | look upon, to be in peace as God created us. |
W2:247.1 | simple truth and I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me | look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your sinlessness is |
W2:247.2 | So would I | look on everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood |
W2:254.2 | words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and | look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would |
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:WIC.5 | reached at last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ's face and | look on nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we have no |
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 |
W2:290.1 | real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness and | look on nothing else except the thing I seek. |
W2:WIRW.3 | lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind and only kindness does it | look upon. |
W2:WIRW.5 | instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we | look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to |
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 |
W2:301.2 | But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will | look upon God's world today. |
W2:302.1 | see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for us to | look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness into light, for fear must |
W2:302.1 | when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today that I may | look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own. |
W2:304.1 | vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I | look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would bless the |
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 |
W2:313.1 | perception come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and | look within upon my sinlessness which You have kept completely |
W2:321.1 | not understand what made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to | look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your |
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 |
W2:357.1 | me patiently to hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I | look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find |
M:2.1 | have been assigned to each of God's teachers, and they will begin to | look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They were chosen |
M:3.1 | —to make of the relationship a holy relationship in which both can | look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a |
M:4.1 | surface traits of God's teachers are not at all alike. They do not | look alike to the body's eyes, they come from vastly different |
M:4.3 | all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God | look on a forgiven world. |
M:4.17 | defenses seem to be. Yet when the teacher of God finally agrees to | look past them, he finds nothing was there. Slowly at first, he lets |
M:8.1 | the mental balance. What the body's eyes behold is only conflict. | Look not to them for peace and understanding. |
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 |
M:13.4 | toys? Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of Christ | look back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped |
M:17.4 | not. It cannot be partially recognized. Who is unaware of truth must | look upon illusions. |
M:17.9 | nor protects. To see it and to recognize its thought system is to | look on nothing. Can nothing give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember |
M:19.4 | attributing to God the lens of warped perception through which you | look. Now it belongs to Him and not to you. You are afraid of Him and |
M:26.2 | And meanwhile they give all their gifts to the teachers of God who | look to them for help, asking all things in their name and in no |

Tx:15.67 | the attraction of guilt has value to you only because you have not | looked at what it is and have judged it completely in the dark. As we |
Tx:17.32 | still seems to you somehow to be “different.” Yet we have | looked at it far closer than at many other aspects of the ego's |

Tx:20.65 | The body cannot be | looked upon except through judgment. To see the body is the sign that |

W1:70.10 | eyes closed to reviewing some of the external places where you have | looked for salvation in the past—in other people, in possessions, |
W1:78.11 | for these quiet times today in which you laid your images aside and | looked upon the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their |
W1:128.7 | afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you | looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift |
W1:132.5 | thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you | looked for when you came. There is no world apart from what you wish, |
W1:166.11 | we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that | looked upon it now has been replaced by vision which perceives that |
W1:185.5 | and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. He has | looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks to go beyond |
W1:187.11 | Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have | looked upon we would extend, for we would see it everywhere. We would |

W2:252.1 | purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever | looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all |
W2:289.1 | This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be | looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be forgiven but the |
W2:325.1 | therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, | looked upon, esteemed as real, and guarded as one's own. From insane |
W2:344.1 | means and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And as I | looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place |
M:2.3 | made. What has been learned and understood and long ago passed by is | looked upon as a new thought, a fresh idea, a different approach. |

looking (78) | ||
Tx:2.49 | Perfectly aware of the right defense, It passes over all others, | looking past error to truth. Because of the real strength of Its |
Tx:2.67 | that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and is capable only of | looking beyond it to the defense of Atonement. There is no doubt that |
Tx:2.70 | in which right-mindedness can now be attained. Charity is a way of | looking at another as if he had already gone far beyond his actual |
Tx:5.17 | not creating; it is reparation. The Holy Spirit promotes healing by | looking beyond it to what the Children of God were before healing was |
Tx:5.35 | therefore strengthened by being shared. If you make the mistake of | looking for the Holy Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations will |
Tx:8.20 | choose, is know thyself. There is nothing else to learn. Everyone is | looking for himself and for the power and glory he thinks he has |
Tx:8.114 | can you learn how blessed you are. By following this way, you are | looking for the truth in you. This is not going beyond yourself but |
Tx:9.14 | Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in | looking beyond error from the beginning and thus keeping it unreal |
Tx:9.25 | or like the theologian, by acknowledging darkness in yourself and | looking for a distant light to remove it while emphasizing the |
Tx:9.39 | of reality. Yet you cannot overlook it unless you are not | looking. |
Tx:9.100 | though, that to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you are | looking without love on God and His creation, from which He cannot be |
Tx:10.31 | of your own Soul, all your understanding is lost because you are | looking on what God created as yourself without love. And since what |
Tx:10.39 | No one can escape from illusions unless he looks at them, for not | looking is the way they are protected. There is no need to shrink |
Tx:10.39 | must be ready. Let us be very calm in doing this, for we are merely | looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be our |
Tx:10.40 | way of knowledge? And how else can one dispel illusions except by | looking at them directly without protecting them? Be not afraid, |
Tx:10.40 | protecting them? Be not afraid, therefore, for what you will be | looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned by now |
Tx:11.22 | really see. You cannot lay aside the obstacle to real vision without | looking upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will |
Tx:11.23 | greater reason for fearing the world as you perceive it than for | looking at the cause of fear and letting it go forever? |

Tx:11.79 | sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because you are | looking at something else. Yet it is no more up to you to decide what |
Tx:12.42 | witness to the real world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, | looking always on the real world and calling forth its witnesses and |
Tx:13.23 | that you are guilty but the source lies in the past, you are not | looking inward. The past is not in you. Your weird associations to it |
Tx:13.28 | unmerciful unto yourselves do not remember your Father's Love. And | looking without mercy upon your brothers, you do not remember how |
Tx:15.67 | will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have nothing to lose by | looking open-eyed at this, for ugliness such as this belongs not in |
Tx:15.86 | task is but to continue as fast as possible the necessary process of | looking straight at all the interference and seeing it exactly as it |
Tx:16.11 | a little part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or | looking away from the whole to what you think you might be better |
Tx:16.30 | to look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom lies in | looking at it. It would be impossible not to know the meaning of love |
Tx:16.43 | In | looking at the special relationship, it is necessary first to realize |
Tx:17.61 | are at peace. Here again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of | looking, for the ego believes the situation brings the experience. |
Tx:18.15 | violated in them becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of | looking at the world and changing it to suit the ego better. They |

Tx:20.16 | For this reduces it at once to mere perception—a way of | looking in which certainty is lost and doubt has entered. To this |
Tx:20.18 | was in them, not deciding first where they would have it be. Their | looking merely asked a question, and it was what they saw that |

Tx:20.27 | because it knows no sin and it must look on others as on itself. | Looking with charity within, what can it fear without? The innocent |
Tx:20.57 | true relationship beyond the body? Can they be long held back from | looking on the face of Christ? And can they long withhold the memory |
Tx:22.15 | in one another is always faith in Him. You are indeed correct in | looking on each other as His chosen home, for here you will with Him |
Tx:23.18 | truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. Peace, | looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in which fear |
Tx:25.7 | that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light merely by | looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted through its |
Tx:25.39 | It is not Christ you see by | looking thus. It is the “enemy” confused with Christ you look upon. |
Tx:25.57 | him he is mad. This One but points to an alternative, another way of | looking at what he has seen before and recognizes as the world in |
Tx:26.72 | disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is | looking forward, looking back but overlooking what is here and now. |
Tx:26.72 | Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, | looking back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and |
Tx:27.38 | of view. All questions asked within this world are but a way of | looking, not a question asked. A question asked in hate cannot be |
Tx:29.10 | that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead of | looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so clearly marked |
Tx:29.10 | follow? Is it not because you see it as the road to hell instead of | looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to |
Tx:29.53 | from all the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for | looking not within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you |
Tx:30.83 | other judgments made on different aspects of experience. And then in | looking back you think you see another meaning in what went before. |

W1:9.3 | for which three or four practice periods are sufficient, involve | looking about you and applying the idea for the day to whatever you |
W1:13.5 | I am | looking at a meaningless world. |
W1:14.7 | This is your personal repertory of horrors at which you are | looking. These things are part of the world you see. Some of them are |
W1:25.6 | begin with a slow repetition of the idea for today followed by | looking about you and letting your glance rest on whatever happens to |
W1:28.7 | for the day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see in | looking about you. Not only should the subjects be chosen randomly, |
W1:29.7 | practice periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an hour, | looking slowly about you as you say the words unhurriedly to |
W1:30.3 | day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat it to yourself slowly, | looking about you and trying to realize that the idea applies to |
W1:30.5 | idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and | looking within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to |
W1:32.3 | and evening by repeating the idea for today two or three times while | looking around at the world you see as outside yourself. Then close |
W1:33.4 | There is another way of | looking at this. |
W1:37.4 | the repetition of the idea for today followed by a minute or so of | looking about you as you apply the idea to whatever you see: |
W1:42.4 | period by repeating the idea for today slowly with eyes open, | looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the idea again, |
W1:42.7 | occur, open your eyes and repeat the thought once more while | looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat the idea once more, and |
W1:57.4 | [33] There is another way of | looking at the world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I |
W1:57.4 | world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of | looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the |
W1:70.12 | the clouds that surround the light, and it is in them you have been | looking for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the |
W1:70.13 | have failed you, surely you do not want to remain in the clouds | looking vainly for idols there when you could so easily walk on into |
W1:75.4 | Our longer practice periods will be devoted to | looking at the world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we |
W1:105.4 | Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of | looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are given |
W1:123.4 | lift our hearts above despair and raise our thankful eyes, no longer | looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness today |
W1:158.4 | set. For we but see the journey from the point at which it ended, | looking back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing |

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: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:21.48 | in both your sight. What it would keep apart has met and joined, and | looks upon the ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow |

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:24.42 | Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you | looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that could need |
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:31.66 | world forgiving, for you have forgiven it its trespasses and so it | looks on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a body? So is all |

Tx:31.75 | care. And this he learns when first he looks upon one brother as he | looks upon himself and sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the |
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 | This is the savior's vision—that he see his innocence in all he | looks upon and sees his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept |
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:15.58 | comes from another, and what you gain he loses. Someone must always | lose if you perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another |
Tx:15.67 | question will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have nothing to | lose by looking open-eyed at this, for ugliness such as this belongs |
Tx:15.71 | impossible, for the ego believes that to forgive another is to | lose him. For it is only by attack without forgiveness that the ego |

Tx:20.28 | power as the laws of this world interpret giving—as you give, you | lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. Power is of God, |
Tx:21.7 | where they 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 |

Tx:26.61 | some sacrifice and thus denies that everything is his, unlimited by | loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as |
Tx:26.61 | just the same in its effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If | loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and |
Tx:26.69 | of the gift seems to be one in which you sacrifice and suffer | loss. You see eventual salvation, not immediate results. |
Tx:26.70 | so perceive it, you will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of | loss is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its |
Tx:26.70 | and let you instantly become as one. And it is here you fear the | loss would lie. Do not project this fear to time, for time is not the |
Tx:26.71 | time. No more can it be overlooked except within the present. Future | loss is not your fear. But present joining is your dread. Who can |
Tx:26.88 | innocence? Whatever way the game of guilt is played, there must be | loss. Someone must lose his innocence that someone else can take it |
Tx:28.15 | where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to take the place of | loss? What better way to close the little gap between illusions and |
Tx:28.46 | the simple happiness of health? What God has given cannot be a | loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What then would you |
Tx:28.46 | of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will be no | loss, but only gain. |
Tx:28.48 | malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering, [of] pain and | loss, that makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as |
Tx:29.9 | body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to find a | loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by being found? |
Tx:29.10 | instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any | loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you |
Tx:29.10 | you realize you give up nothing, until you understand there is no | loss, you will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. |
Tx:29.12 | are you not rejoicing? You are free of pain and sickness, misery and | loss, and all effects of hatred and attack. No more is pain your |
Tx:29.17 | and in His sacrifice are you made more, and He is lessened by the | loss of you. And what is gone from Him becomes your god, protecting |
Tx:29.19 | what He is with littleness and limit and despair. It is His | loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a thing you love, or |
Tx:29.38 | and destruction, sin, and death; of madness and of murder, grief and | loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly offers peace |
Tx:29.46 | sacrifice is to give up and thus to be without and to have suffered | loss. And by this giving up is life renounced. Seek not outside |
Tx:29.50 | where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of God is but the fear of | loss of idols. It is not the fear of loss of your reality. But you |
Tx:29.50 | fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of | loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an idol which |
Tx:29.53 | one believes in idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and | loss. And thus must seek beyond his little self for strength to raise |
Tx:29.57 | Here the deathless come to die, the all-encompassing to suffer | loss, the timeless to be made the slaves of time. Here does the |
Tx:30.38 | will that everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for | loss. Decide for truth, and everything is yours. |
Tx:30.83 | thus you judge disaster and success, advance, retreat, and gain and | loss. These judgments all are made according to the roles the script |
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 |
Tx:30.90 | from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is proof he is not bound by | loss or suffering in any form because it can so easily be changed. |
Tx:31.50 | would be asked to make exchange of what you now believe for total | loss of self, and greater terror would arise in you. |
Tx:31.55 | the choice by your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal | loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. |
Tx:31.63 | appears and disappears in death; that one is doomed to suffering and | loss. And no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor will |
Tx:31.92 | you behold as sickness and as pain, as weakness and as suffering and | loss is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. |
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 |
W1:41.2 | into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and | loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were |
W1:44.5 | is the release from hell. Perceived through the ego's eyes, it is | loss of identity and a descent into hell. |
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 |
W1:133.8 | are there. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the illusion | loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and nothing more. |
W1:133.8 | take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet | loss must offer loss and nothing more. |
W1:133.8 | deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer | loss and nothing more. |
W1:151.10 | all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster, suffering, and | loss. He gives you vision which can look beyond these grim |
W1:152.1 | No one can suffer | loss unless it be his own decision. No one suffers pain except his |
W1:152.2 | can truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of everything, can | loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear |
W1:155.4 | still believing its reality, and they have suffered from a sense of | loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have chosen |
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? |
W1:167.2 | you give response of any kind that is not perfect joy. All sorrow, | loss, anxiety, and suffering and pain, even a little sigh of |
W1:185.3 | merely shift about in changing patterns, as the ratio of gain to | loss and loss to gain takes on a different aspect or another form. |
W1:185.3 | shift about in changing patterns, as the ratio of gain to loss and | loss to gain takes on a different aspect or another form. |

W1:187.6 | many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and | loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at death. |
W1:194.3 | In no one instant is depression felt or pain experienced or | loss perceived. In no one instant sorrow can be set upon a throne and |
W1:194.5 | is present, freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and | loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of |
W1:194.7 | What can he suffer? What can cause him pain or bring experience of | loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard except with |
W1:195.5 | sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming | loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk |
W2:245.1 | and afraid. I give Your peace to those who suffer pain or grieve for | loss or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, |
W2:249.1 | Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, | loss becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, |
W2:249.1 | and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What | loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, |
W2:268.2 | lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of | loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today. |
W2:284.1 | Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There | |

W2:322.2 | up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What | loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear and the return of Love |
W2:322.2 | did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the | loss of fear and the return of Love into my mind? |
W2:323.1 | beloved Son—You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of | loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt and freely let Your Love come |
W2:328.1 | salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and | loss, and death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is |
W2:337.1 | safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of | loss, complete deliverance from suffering. And only happiness can be |
W2:343.1 | The end of suffering cannot be | loss. The gift of everything can but be gain. You only give. You |
M:4.6 | is really valueless, he will not generalize the lesson for fear of | loss and sacrifice. It takes great learning to understand that all |
M:4.19 | not seek what only he could keep, because that is a guarantee of | loss. He does not want to suffer. Why should he ensure himself pain? |
M:6.1 | sudden healing might precipitate intense depression, and a sense of | loss so deep that the patient might even try to destroy himself. |
M:10.6 | pain he looks upon is its result. All of the loneliness and sense of | loss, of passing time and growing hopelessness; of sickening despair |

Tx:24.8 | might be extended, not cut off from one another. What you keep is | lost to you. God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is now |
Tx:24.18 | your specialness and given it his place, remember this: He has not | lost the power to forgive you all the sins you think you placed |
Tx:24.22 | part of love was not denied to him. But can it be that you have | lost because he is complete? What has been given him makes you |
Tx:24.32 | and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are | lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the call that would awaken |
Tx:24.51 | Nothing is | lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He |
Tx:24.64 | not to make your specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be | lost indeed. Be thankful, rather, it is given you to see his holiness |
Tx:25.24 | He could be sure His sanity went there with him so he could not be | lost forever in the madness of his wish. |
Tx:25.40 | if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But think not Heaven is | lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the way is shown to |
Tx:25.60 | For in this world, it seems that one must gain because another | lost. If this were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this |
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 from |
Tx:25.79 | you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear. Nothing you give is | lost to you or anyone, but cherished and preserved [for you] in |
Tx:25.86 | believe you have. And bitterness, with vengeance justified and mercy | lost, condemns you as unworthy of forgiveness. The unforgiven have no |
Tx:26.6 | the Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been | lost. Hear then the song your brother sings to you. And let the world |
Tx:26.22 | of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. Heaven was never | lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between the |
Tx:26.27 | come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here is what was | lost restored to them and all their radiance made whole again. |
Tx:26.28 | to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his home. Not one is | lost, and none is cherished more than any other. Each reminds him of |
Tx:26.31 | Nothing is ever | lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little |
Tx:26.52 | the world apart, and relegates attack unto Himself. Thus has He | lost His Mind, proclaiming sin has taken His reality from Him, and |
Tx:26.57 | when He created him as everything. It is impossible that anything be | lost if what you have is what you are. This is the miracle by which |
Tx:27.2 | of attack. Thus would you make yourself to be the sign that he has | lost his innocence and need but look on you to realize that he has |
Tx:27.17 | what he did not do. And so is he convinced his innocence was never | lost and healed along with you. |
Tx:27.27 | of what your function is. If He upheld divided function, you were | lost indeed. His inability to see His goal divided and distinct for |
Tx:27.73 | an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has | lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So |
Tx:28.10 | thing you fear. No more have you. And so your innocence has not been | lost. You need no healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the |
Tx:28.15 | What has been | lost, to see the causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory |
Tx:28.46 | the Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has | lost nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of sickness when |
Tx:28.53 | and emptiness of sin that you will see within yourself when you have | lost the fear of recognizing love. |
Tx:28.57 | yet you think it is your self and that without it would your self be | lost. This is the secret vow which you have made with every brother |
Tx:29.9 | afraid to find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be | lost by being found? |
Tx:29.21 | Think you the Father | lost Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He shared |
Tx:29.24 | and love. He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father | lost not part of Him in your creation, so the light in him is |
Tx:29.51 | is no death, and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing | lost. An idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His |
Tx:30.58 | by attack. There, it is clear that by attack is understanding | lost. The folly of pursuing guilt as goal is fully recognized. And |
Tx:31.8 | by forms the call was hidden in. And so you did not hear it and had | lost a friend who always wanted to be part of you. The soft, eternal |
Tx:31.17 | same in outcome. Hear the one, and you are separate from him and are | lost. But hear the other, and you join with him, and in your answer |
Tx:31.35 | the pathways offered by the world. And learning they led nowhere, | lost their hope. And yet this was the time they could have learned |
Tx:31.40 | lesson's purpose is to teach that what your brother loses you have | lost and what he gains is what is given you. |

Tx:4.27 | You forget the | love that animals have for their own offspring and the need they feel |
Tx:4.27 | himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His Souls: with | love, protection, and great charity. The reaction of man to the self |
Tx:4.47 | well as the call of the body. That is why the basic conflict between | love and fear is unconscious; the ego cannot tolerate either and |
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 | the love you feel for what you made because you made it. No human | love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced |
Tx:4.49 | love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced | love without ambivalence, the concept is beyond its understanding. |
Tx:4.50 | Love will enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but | |
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:4.52 | respect for what you have made, but I will neither honor it nor | love it unless it is true. |
Tx:4.53 | wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself. Because I wait in | love and not in impatience, you will surely ask me truly. I will come |
Tx:4.64 | found wanting there. Without your own allegiance, protection, and | love, it cannot exist. Judge your ego truly, and you must withdraw |
Tx:4.64 | your ego truly, and you must withdraw allegiance, protection, and | love from it. |
Tx:4.68 | I know that miracles are natural because they are expressions of | love. My calling you is as natural as your answer and as inevitable. |
Tx:4.90 | makes all men your brothers because they are all of your Father. | Love does not conquer all things, but it does set all things right. |
Tx:4.91 | ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the function of | love is one. |
Tx:4.100 | experience of His Son's experience. The constant going out of His | love is blocked when His channels are closed, and He is lonely when |
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:5.3 | to hold it by sharing it. It is impossible for a Child of God to | love his neighbor except as himself. That is why the healer's prayer |
Tx:5.15 | not obstruct it in any way. [Third, it is an unequivocal call to | love. Every other voice is still.] |
Tx:5.64 | The ego does not perceive sin as a lack of | love. It perceives sin as a positive act of assault. This is an |
Tx:5.72 | you will simultaneously exchange guilt for joy, viciousness for | love, and pain for peace. My role is only to unchain your will and |
Tx:5.81 | is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite | love, and by producing results now, it renders time unnecessary. |
Tx:5.94 | are not wholly joyous it is because you have reacted with a lack of | love to some Soul which God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you |
Tx:6.1 | conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack rather than of | love follows. What can be expected from insane premises except an |
Tx:6.12 | altar is what makes it a church. Any church which does not inspire | love has a hidden altar which is not serving the purpose for which |
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:6.20 | in the New Testament, whose whole gospel is only the message of | love. These are not like the several slips into impatience which I |
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 | learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only | love, but when you denied this, you made what you are something you |
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:6.44 | you teach, you are learning. Teach only love, and learn that | love is yours and you are love. |
Tx:6.44 | learning. Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and you are | love. |
Tx:6.46 | attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You made the ego without | love, and so it does not love you. You could not remain within the |
Tx:6.46 | is impossible. You made the ego without love, and so it does not | love you. You could not remain within the Kingdom without love, and |

Tx:6.46 | not remain within the Kingdom without love, and since the Kingdom is | love, you believe that you are without it. This enables the ego to |
Tx:6.65 | sharing, it becomes communion. You might argue that fear as well as | love can be communicated and therefore can be shared. Yet this is not |
Tx:7.3 | are part of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to | love. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. |
Tx:7.3 | of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love. | Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. Being |
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:7.58 | and this allegiance makes it treacherous to love, because you are | love. Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny |
Tx:7.58 | this allegiance makes it treacherous to love, because you are love. | Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny |
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:7.70 | of the Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible to | love it totally at times. You cannot be totally committed sometimes. |
Tx:7.73 | of yourselves is deprived, unloving, and very vulnerable. You cannot | love this. Yet you can very easily escape from it or, better, leave |
Tx:7.76 | be apart from them, because you are not apart from Him. Rest in His | love and protect your rest by loving. But love everything He created |
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:7.106 | lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in | love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by |
Tx:7.109 | to be a home for a Child of God? Does it protect his peace and shine | love upon him? Does it keep his heart untouched by fear and allow him |
Tx:7.110 | You who could give the | love of God to everything you see and touch and remember are |
Tx:8.14 | power and glory lie within it. It is boundless in strength and in | love and in peace. It has no boundaries because its extension is |
Tx:8.28 | must despise and reject me, because the world is the belief that | love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the reactions of the |
Tx:8.34 | of what they are and what He is. Freedom is creation, because it is | love. What you seek to imprison you do not love. Therefore, when you |
Tx:8.34 | creation, because it is love. What you seek to imprison you do not | love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison anyone, including |
Tx:8.34 | when you seek to imprison anyone, including yourself, you do not | love him, and you cannot identify with him. When you imprison |
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:8.50 | and therefore as holy as He is. Through our creations, we extend our | love and thus increase the joy of the Holy Trinity. You do not |
Tx:8.84 | substitution of the will to wake. The will to wake is the will to | love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The Holy |
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:8.86 | Actually, it is particularly the references to the outcomes of | love which should be taken literally because the Bible is about love, |
Tx:8.86 | of love which should be taken literally because the Bible is about | love, being about God. |
Tx:8.87 | name of God's Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of | love, because we share this oneness. Our minds are whole because they |
Tx:8.99 | cannot be real without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God is | Love, and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you |
Tx:8.102 | The fact that God is | love does not require belief, but it does require acceptance. It is |

Tx:8.113 | I | love you for the truth in you, as God does. Your deceptions may |
Tx:9.7 | errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more separate than | love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from love. Any |
Tx:9.7 | than love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from | love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother means that you |
Tx:9.40 | It is perfectly obvious that if the Holy Spirit looks with | love on all He perceives, He looks with love on you. His evaluation |
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:9.106 | is why to deny Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is the denial of | love, because love shares and arrogance withholds. As long as both |
Tx:9.106 | Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is the denial of love, because | love shares and arrogance withholds. As long as both appear to you to |
Tx:10.4 | Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call of | love with joy? |
Tx:10.9 | as His Son, for yours were created in honor of Him. The universe of | love does not stop because you do not see it, and your closed eyes |
Tx:10.10 | increased, and everything He creates has the function of creating. | Love does not limit, and what it creates is not limited. To give |
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:15.30 | to be able to understand its magnitude. Love is not little, and | love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. Before the greatness |
Tx:15.32 | 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 not than |
Tx:15.45 | would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego all would be | love. |
Tx:15.46 | for meeting them on your own terms. We said before that to limit | love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships |
Tx:15.47 | You cannot | love parts of reality and understand what love means. If you would |
Tx:15.47 | You cannot love parts of reality and understand what | love means. If you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special |
Tx:15.47 | love parts of reality and understand what love means. If you would | love unlike to God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand |
Tx:15.47 | love means. If you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special | love, how can you understand it? To believe that special |
Tx:15.47 | understand it? To believe that special relationships, with special | love, can offer you salvation is the belief that separation is |
Tx:15.48 | shift and change so frequently. They are not based on changeless | love alone. And love where fear has entered cannot be depended on |
Tx:15.48 | so frequently. They are not based on changeless love alone. And | love where fear has entered cannot be depended on because it is not |
Tx:15.48 | to truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in | love. |
Tx:15.49 | but His. All the guilt in it arises from your use of it. All the | love from His. Do not, then, be afraid to let go your imagined needs, |
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:15.55 | God has created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His | Love. With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the |
Tx:15.55 | created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With | love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy |
Tx:15.55 | reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only there | love has meaning, and only there can it be understood. |
Tx:15.57 | yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect | love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find |
Tx:15.57 | appreciation of his worth, we cannot doubt his holiness. And so we | love him. |
Tx:15.59 | not find it difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for | love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by God's |
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:15.60 | love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the idea of | love in you and unite this idea with the mind that thought it and |
Tx:15.60 | but completion. From this it follows you can only give. And this is | love, for this alone is natural under the laws of God. |
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 | is no other love that can satisfy you, because there is no other | love. This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned. |
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 | hates him for it. Yet this is what he thinks he wants. He is not in | love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in love with |
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:16.7 | lost in any relationship which looks to weakness and hopes to find | love there. The power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the |
Tx:16.7 | which looks to weakness and hopes to find love there. The power of | love, which is its meaning, lies in the strength of God, which hovers |
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 | sure and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater | love than to accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be |
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 | not to know the meaning of love except for this. For the special | love relationship, in which the meaning of love is lost, is |
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:16.30 | no attempt to hide it. For it is the attempt to balance hate with | love that makes love meaningless to you. The extent of the split that |
Tx:16.30 | hide it. For it is the attempt to balance hate with love that makes | love meaningless to you. The extent of the split that lies in this |
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 | of safety from which hatred is split off and kept apart. The special | love partner is acceptable only as long as he serves this purpose. |
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 | from illusion: The special love relationship is an attempt [to bring | love into separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than an |
Tx:16.36 | And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt] to bring | love into fear and make it real in fear. In fundamental violation of |
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:16.40 | you not go through fear to love? For such the journey seems to be. | Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the call of hate, |
Tx:16.40 | completion is His? He loves you wholly without illusion, as you must | love. For love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly |
Tx:16.40 | is His? He loves you wholly without illusion, as you must love. For | love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear. |
Tx:16.40 | and your ability to remember. In Him are joined your willingness to | love and all the love of God, Who forgot you not. |
Tx:16.40 | to remember. In Him are joined your willingness to love and all the | love of God, Who forgot you not. |
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:16.51 | perception of the giving of specialness as an act of love would make | love hateful. And the real purpose of the special relationship, in |
Tx:16.54 | Whenever any form of special relationship tempts you to seek for | love in ritual, remember love is content and not form of any kind. |
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:16.74 | the savagery break briefly through into awareness, the illusion of | love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which the ego never |
Tx:16.79 | ego's “atonement” which would destroy. The power of God and all His | Love, without limit, will support you as you seek only your place in |
Tx:16.79 | you seek only your place in the plan of Atonement arising from His | Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can |
Tx:16.81 | is only the unwillingness to remember Your forgiveness and Your | Love. Let us not wander into temptation, for the temptation of the |
Tx:16.81 | and accept but this into the minds which You created and which You | love. Amen. |
Tx:17.15 | in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is really | love. |
Tx:17.16 | may be, attracts you and seems to you to go by the name of | love. And finally why all such relationships become the attempt at |
Tx:17.34 | frame are woven all sorts of fanciful and fragmented illusions of | love, set with dreams of sacrifice and self-aggrandizement and |
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:18.6 | original error rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but | love,” and it will disappear. |
Tx:18.9 | have nothing in common in reality. Within yourselves you | love each other with a perfect love. Here is holy ground in which no |
Tx:18.9 | in reality. Within yourselves you love each other with a perfect | love. Here is holy ground in which no substitution can enter and |
Tx:18.11 | for in it lies the Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your | love. Heaven has entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently |
Tx:18.11 | for all illusions have been gently brought unto the truth in you and | love has shined upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God |
Tx:18.11 | universe within you stands with you, together. And Heaven looks with | love on what is joined in it, along with its Creator. |
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:18.45 | which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe that | love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the function that He |
Tx:18.48 | holy instant for myself that I may share it with my brother, whom I | love. It is not possible that I can have it without him, or he |
Tx:18.52 | what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by | love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use it lovingly, |
Tx:18.52 | Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet | love does not condemn it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the |
Tx:18.53 | reinterpreted as means for salvation and used for purposes of | love? Would you not welcome and support the shift from fantasies of |
Tx:18.57 | to establish different orders of reality, only some of which were | love. Yet love must be forever like itself, changeless forever and |
Tx:18.57 | different orders of reality, only some of which were love. Yet | love must be forever like itself, changeless forever and forever |
Tx:18.59 | the illusion of a limited awareness and lost your fear of union. The | love that instantly replaces it extends to what has freed you and |
Tx:18.60 | Yet in every case, you joined it without reservation because you | love it and would be with it. And so you rush to meet it, letting |
Tx:18.62 | you have been willing to let go the limits you have placed upon | love and joined it where it is and where it led you in answer to its |
Tx:18.71 | It is only the awareness of the body that makes | love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief in |
Tx:18.71 | of the body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on | love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to |
Tx:18.71 | seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief in limited | love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. Think |
Tx:18.72 | God cannot come into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on | love will always seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. |
Tx:18.77 | is not your kingdom. Arched high above it and surrounding it with | love is the glorious whole, which offers all its happiness and deep |
Tx:18.78 | Love knows no bodies and reaches to everything created like itself. | |
Tx:18.78 | have so little! Should it not, then, be there that you would call on | love to enter? Look at the desert, dry and unproductive, scorched and |
Tx:18.78 | makes up your little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which | love would bring to it from where it comes and where it would return |
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 | them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome will bring | love with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this |
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:18.80 | garden gently transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven with all the | love of its Creator shining upon it. The holy instant is your |
Tx:18.80 | its Creator shining upon it. The holy instant is your invitation to | love, to enter into your bleak and joyless kingdom, and to transform |
Tx:18.81 | interfere with its glad coming. In the holy instant, you ask of | love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for |
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:18.82 | without your brother. But together you could no more be unaware of | love than love could know you not or fail to recognize itself in you. |
Tx:18.82 | your brother. But together you could no more be unaware of love than | love could know you not or fail to recognize itself in you. |
Tx:18.83 | with happy laughter, and it will fall away. And walk into the garden | love has prepared for both of you. |
Tx:18.93 | heavy garments of guilt laid by and gently replaced by purity and | love. |
Tx:18.94 | not create. It is the source of healing, but it is the messenger of | love and not its Source. Here you are led that God Himself can take |
Tx:18.94 | take the final step unhindered, for here does nothing interfere with | love, letting it be itself. A step beyond this holy place [of |
Tx:18.96 | Love is not learned. Its meaning lies in itself. And learning ends | |
Tx:18.96 | is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone. | Love is not learned because there never was a time in which you knew |
Tx:18.96 | you learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the knowledge of | love and its one meaning. |
Tx:18.97 | The holy instant in which you were united is but the messenger of | love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies |
Tx:19.11 | Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of | love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It |
Tx:19.11 | by Him like you and therefore loved by you as yourself. It is His | love that joins you, and for His love you would keep no one separate |
Tx:19.11 | loved by you as yourself. It is His love that joins you, and for His | love you would keep no one separate from yours. Each one appears just |
Tx:19.14 | healing with equal ease to all of them. For what the messengers of | love are sent to do they do, returning the glad tidings that it was |
Tx:19.26 | The ego does not think it possible that | love, not fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For |
Tx:19.28 | punishment must call for nothing. Every mistake must be a call for | love. What, then, is sin? What could it be but a mistake you would |
Tx:19.33 | upon it, and the belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of | love. You see it still because you do not realize that its foundation |
Tx:19.37 | awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its message of | love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your |
Tx:19.44 | is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the appeal of | love. How can this fail to be accomplished, wherever it is |
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 |
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 |
Tx:19.49 | love, for 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 |
Tx:19.49 | itself, with which it would unite in holy union and completion. As | love must look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love |
Tx:19.49 | union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must fear see | love not. For love contains the end of guilt as surely as fear |
Tx:19.49 | As love must look past fear, so must fear see love not. For | love contains the end of guilt as surely as fear depends on it. [Love |
Tx:19.49 | of guilt as surely as fear depends on it. [Love is attracted only to | love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being wholly |
Tx:19.49 | without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what | love sees not, and each believes that what the other looks upon does |
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:19.50 | What fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, | love cannot even see. |
Tx:19.51 | holds for fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What | love would look upon is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. |
Tx:19.53 | of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little breath of | love escape their notice. And they will return with all the happy |
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:19.57 | Yet would I offer you my body, you whom I | love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot |
Tx:19.61 | of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea that | love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the |
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: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 power of |
Tx:19.94 | seemed to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice of | love beyond them, you answered and they disappeared. |
Tx:19.98 | offer you the innocence you need and that you will accept it for my | love and His. |
Tx:19.100 | do share in it until you look upon each other with perfect faith and | love and tenderness. Before complete forgiveness, you still stand |
Tx:19.100 | each other. Those you do not forgive you fear. And no one reaches | love with fear beside him. |
Tx:19.102 | beside each one. Let him be what he is and seek not to make of | love an enemy. |
Tx:20.2 | each other the gift of lilies, not the crown of thorns; the gift of | love and not the “gift” of fear. You stand beside each other, thorns |
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:20.27 | with me and know that it is justified. There is no fear in perfect | love because it knows no sin and it must look on others as on itself. |
Tx:20.29 | and what is yours shines from him to you. Your savior gives you only | love, but what you would receive of him is up to you. It lies in him |
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 | upon it. Any relationship in which the body enters is based not on | love, but on idolatry. Love wishes to be known, completely |
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:20.57 | with their Father from themselves and keep remembrance of His | love apart from their awareness? |
Tx:21.30 | it is placed in sin. But it is always recognized if it is placed in | love. |
Tx:21.65 | Reason, like | love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The power to |
Tx:21.67 | Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was given | love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this: being |
Tx:21.67 | speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was given love by | Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this: being united, It |
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:26.87 | denied the right to be himself, and asked to sacrifice his Father's | love and yours as not his due? |
Tx:26.90 | all unfairness been resolved and been replaced with justice and with | love. If you perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say: |
Tx:27.6 | every scar is healed and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in | love. And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes |
Tx:27.7 | frail and vulnerable is your life, how easily destroyed is what you | love. Depression speaks of death and vanity of real concern with |
Tx:27.10 | neither is it dead. It stands apart from all experience of fear or | love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and |
Tx:27.13 | Is healing frightening? To many, yes. For accusation is a bar to | love, and damaged bodies are accusers. They stand firmly in the way |
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:27.19 | sees no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from | love. And love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a |
Tx:27.19 | no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from love. And | love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish |
Tx:27.31 | that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to deny, | love, or hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The picture |
Tx:27.33 | the learning interval it has a use which now you fear, but yet will | love. |
Tx:27.45 | need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you | love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on |
Tx:27.46 | has come to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of your | love without attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one |
Tx:27.53 | you have benefited from it. What occurred within the instant which | love entered in without attack will stay with you forever. Your |
Tx:27.53 | parts. God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a gift of | love unto His Son, and therefore is it given unto Him. |
Tx:27.57 | Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He | love whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's death |
Tx:27.59 | Love, too, has symbols in a world of sin. The miracle forgives | |
Tx:27.73 | his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with | love to waken him. [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was |
Tx:28.13 | unremembered and undone. The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of | love the Son of God remembers from before his own remembering came in |
Tx:28.17 | Fatherhood is creation. | Love must be extended. Purity is not confined. It is the nature of |
Tx:28.31 | The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and | love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it |
Tx:28.36 | enter not, for time waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For | Love has set Its table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests |
Tx:28.48 | you did not give them your support. Where fear has gone, there | love must come because there are but these alternatives. Where one |
Tx:28.53 | will see within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing | love. |
Tx:29.1 | compromise the least and littlest gap would represent in His eternal | love is quite impossible. For it would mean His love could harbor |
Tx:29.1 | in His eternal love is quite impossible. For it would mean His | love could harbor just a hint of hate; His gentleness turn sometimes |
Tx:29.1 | How could you trust Him, then? For He must be deceptive in His | Love. Be wary, then; let Him not come too close, and leave a gap |
Tx:29.1 | let Him not come too close, and leave a gap between you and His | love through which you can escape if there be need for you to flee. |
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 |
Tx:29.2 | fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of | love and therefore must he be afraid of God. Certain it is he knows |
Tx:29.2 | therefore must he be afraid of God. Certain it is he knows not what | love means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that |
Tx:29.2 | of God. 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 |
Tx:29.2 | means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that | love is fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little |
Tx:29.2 | and loves to hate, and so he thinks that love is fearful—hate is | love. This is the consequence the little gap must bring to those who |
Tx:29.4 | intervals of separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of | love. The body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and |
Tx:29.7 | It is not | love that asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of love, |
Tx:29.7 | is not love that asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of | love, for in love's presence fear cannot abide. For hate to be |
Tx:29.7 | for in love's presence fear cannot abide. For hate to be maintained | love must be feared and only sometimes present, sometimes gone. Thus |
Tx:29.7 | must be feared and only sometimes present, sometimes gone. Thus is | love seen as treacherous because it seems to come and go uncertainly |
Tx:29.7 | weak is your allegiance and how frequently you have demanded that | love go away and leave you quietly alone in “peace.” |
Tx:29.8 | are overtones of seeming fear around the happy message, “God is | love.” |
Tx:29.9 | trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you back an instant from His | love? Would you allow the body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were |
Tx:29.12 | guilt but one. Where they are causeless, their effects are gone, and | love must come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You |
Tx:29.12 | friend and guilt your god, and you should welcome the effects of | love. |
Tx:29.14 | must be there. For what you now can do could not be done without the | love and grace His Presence holds. |
Tx:29.19 | It is His 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 |
Tx:29.21 | Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He shared His | love? Was He made incomplete by your perfection? Or are you the proof |
Tx:29.23 | By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make way for | love, which you did not create, but which you can extend. On earth |
Tx:29.24 | shadows that have hidden him and shines on you in gratitude and | love. He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father lost |
Tx:29.30 | loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream becomes an offering of | love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights whatever |
Tx:29.30 | each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His | love for you, which lights whatever form it takes with love. |
Tx:29.30 | center is His love for you, which lights whatever form it takes with | love. |
Tx:29.32 | The peace in you can but be found in him. And every thought of | love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to peace |
Tx:29.33 | This sacred Son of God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's | love for you, the soft reminder of his Father's love by which he was |
Tx:29.33 | of his Father's love for you, the soft reminder of his Father's | love by which he was created and which still abides in him, as it |
Tx:29.51 | An idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His | love for you, and do not seek to drown His Voice in chants of deep |
Tx:29.67 | in the dream are now perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in | love. |
Tx:30.34 | you His 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 |
Tx:30.35 | Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of | love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of |
Tx:30.39 | form you seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's | love? What form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of |
Tx:30.39 | for God the Father's love? What form can take the place of all the | love in the divinity of God the Son? What idol can make two of what |
Tx:30.63 | be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the | love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then will |
Tx:30.63 | Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the | love of Christ accepted first. And then will come the knowledge They |
Tx:30.64 | walk with you? His blessing lies on you as surely as His Father's | love rests upon Him. His gratitude to you is past your understanding, |
Tx:31.7 | may have overlearned your chosen task, the lesson which reflects the | love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God's Son is |
Tx:31.9 | in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He knows His | love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were |
Tx:31.9 | which He knows His love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be | Love. For God were fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could |
Tx:31.10 | results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God's | love must be remembered when he learns his innocence. For hate must |
Tx:31.10 | to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads that | love restore the dying world! You do not understand Who calls to you |
Tx:31.10 | when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that God is | Love. |
Tx:31.16 | Perhaps you call it | love. Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at last. You hate |
Tx:31.20 | fall back if he does not advance. Take not his hand in anger but in | love, for in his progress do you count your own. And we go separately |
Tx:31.21 | Because he is your equal in God's | love, you will be saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ |
Tx:31.24 | 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, must his |
Tx:31.24 | —that you both may learn you love each other with a brother's | love. And as a brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he |
Tx:31.31 | your chosen enemies nor keep in chains to the illusion of a changing | love the ones you think are friends. |
Tx:31.41 | His Thoughts! But you forgot His Presence and remembered not His | Love. No pathway in the world can lead to Him, nor any worldly goal |
Tx:31.44 | acted on. It is this face that smiles and charms and even seems to | love. It searches for companions, and it looks at times with pity on |
Tx:31.45 | can grow angry, for the world is wicked and unable to provide the | love and shelter innocence deserves. And so this face is often wet |
Tx:31.67 | you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as light, as innocent as | Love Itself. And you are worthy that your will be done! |
Tx:31.71 | held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for you will | love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you alone. |
Tx:31.74 | vision, and the inner Guide all lead you out of hell with those you | love beside you and the universe with them. |
Tx:31.75 | within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of | Love and Life entrusted all salvation from the misery of hell. And to |
Tx:31.76 | across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the | love of guilt and death, they all are different names for just one |
Tx:31.76 | fight to keep the space that holds your brother off unoccupied by | love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the body as |
Tx:31.79 | 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 of |
W1:16.3 | that every thought you have brings either peace or war, either | love or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral |
W1:20.2 | you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, | love and fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And great |
W1:23.4 | Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you will | love them even though they were made of hate. For you will not be |
W1:29.3 | Try then today to begin to learn how to look on all things with | love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You do not see them now. |
W1:46.2 | Although God does not forgive, His | love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns, and |
W1:46.2 | love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns, and | love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, |
W1:46.5 | God is the | Love in which I forgive you, [name]. |
W1:46.7 | God is the | Love in which I forgive myself. |
W1:46.9 | God is the | Love with which I love myself. God is the Love in which I am blessed. |
W1:46.9 | God is the Love with which I | love myself. God is the Love in which I am blessed. |
W1:46.9 | God is the Love with which I love myself. God is the | Love in which I am blessed. |
W1:46.11 | in a mind beloved of God. There is no need to attack, because | Love has forgiven me. |
W1:46.14 | God is the | Love in which I forgive you. |
W1:50.1 | with magical powers. All these things are your replacements for the | Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body |
W1:50.2 | put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the | Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you |
W1:50.3 | faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the | Love of God within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. |
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 |
W1:52.3 | will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will look with | love on all that I failed to see before. |
W1:54.6 | behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled | love to replace fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to |
W1:55.3 | on everything by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the | Love of God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts |
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 |
W1:55.4 | thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows | love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and |
W1:56.3 | vision, I will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and | love. |
W1:56.4 | opened for me that I may look past it to the world that reflects the | Love of God. |
W1:56.5 | remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of | love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my |
W1:59.2 | when He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when | love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions |
W1:60.2 | [46] God is the | Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive, because He has never |
W1:60.2 | which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's | Love on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love |
W1:60.2 | God's Love on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the | Love of God can reach down to me and raise me to my home. |
W1:60.3 | feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to remember the | love I chose to forget, but Which has not forgotten me. |
W1:60.6 | [50] I am sustained by the | Love of God. As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. |
W1:60.6 | the Love of God. As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His | Love. As I open my eyes, His love lights up the world for me to see. |
W1:60.6 | to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His | love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His love |
W1:60.6 | eyes, His love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His | love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world |
W1:66.8 | to be false it is necessary to define God as something He is not. | Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot |
W1:66.9 | of your choice but the fear which the ego always engenders and the | love which the Holy Spirit always offers to replace it. |
W1:67.5 | images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If | Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere |
W1:67.6 | the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as | Love created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring |
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. |
W1:67.8 | with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by | Love like Itself. |
W1:68.1 | You who were created by | Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a |
W1:68.3 | Oh, yes! For he who holds grievances denies he was created by | Love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate. |
W1:68.6 | minor grievances you hold against those you like and even think you | love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against |
W1:68.9 | safe in a world which protects you and loves you and which you | love in return. Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over |
W1:68.10 | Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I will | |
W1:68.12 | Love holds no grievances. Let me not betray my Self. | |
W1:68.14 | Love holds no grievances. I would wake to my Self by laying all my | |
W1:72.8 | you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and humiliate it. Others | love the body and try to glorify and exalt it. But while it stands at |
W1:75.11 | is a time for special celebration. Give thanks for mercy and the | Love of God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight |
W1:76.11 | you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About the | love your Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you. |
W1:78.5 | him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you think you | love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but whom you see as |
W1:78.11 | in which you laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle of | love the Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The world and Heaven |
W1:84.2 | [67] | Love created me like Itself. I am in the likeness of my Creator. I |
W1:84.2 | to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. | Love created me like Itself. |
W1:84.5 | [68] | Love holds no grievances. Grievances are completely alien to love. |
W1:84.5 | [68] Love holds no grievances. Grievances are completely alien to | love. Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold |
W1:84.5 | Grievances are completely alien to love. Grievances attack | love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking |
W1:84.5 | love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking | love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to |
W1:84.7 | no justification for denying my Self. I will not use this to attack | love. Let this not tempt me to attack myself. |
W1:92.6 | miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in | love. |
W1:92.7 | which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in | love. It sees all others different from itself and nothing in the |
W1:92.7 | the world that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not | love. In darkness it remains to hide itself and dreams that it is |
W1:92.8 | the morning comes again. The light of strength is constant, sure as | love, forever glad to give itself away because it cannot give but to |
W1:93.5 | has not changed creation nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin and | love to hate. What power can this self you made possess when it would |
W1:93.11 | the unity of your One Self. Try to appreciate its holiness and the | love from which it was created. Try not to interfere with the Self |
W1:95.18 | sinless as its Creator, with His strength within you and His | love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel |
W1:97.2 | sanity. You are the Spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father's | love and peace and joy. You are the Spirit which completes Himself |
W1:99.5 | loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be true—God still is | Love, and this is not His Will. |
W1:99.8 | Salvation is my only function here. God still is | Love, and this is not His Will. |
W1:99.14 | what you need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your Self as | Love Which has no opposite in you. |
W1:99.17 | Salvation is my only function here. God still is | Love, and this is not His Will. |
W1:99.20 | forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that | Love may find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the |
W1:102.7 | You have no need to be less loving to God's Son than He Whose | Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides these hourly five |
W1:103.1 | Happiness is an attribute of | love. It cannot be apart from it, nor can it be experienced where |
W1:103.1 | of love. It cannot be apart from it, nor can it be experienced where | love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy |
W1:103.1 | be apart from it, nor can it be experienced where love is not. | Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere |
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 |
W1:103.2 | reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being | Love, He must be joy. |
W1:103.4 | God, being | Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy. |
W1:103.6 | and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being | Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently |
W1:103.7 | God, being | Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot |
W1:105.5 | the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and | love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in |
W1:106.3 | your happiness within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in | love. Hear only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear |
W1:107.6 | has come, it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy and | love which does not falter in the face of pain but looks beyond it, |
W1:110.3 | turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life or fear for | love. All this has not occurred if you remain as God created you. You |
W1:117.2 | [103] God, being | Love, is also happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and |
W1:117.2 | [103] God, being Love, is also happiness. Let me remember | love is happiness and nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to |
W1:117.2 | else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for | love. |
W1:117.3 | [104] I seek but what belongs to me in truth. | Love is my heritage and with it joy. These are the gifts my Father |
W1:117.5 | God, being | Love, is also happiness. |
W1:121.2 | The unforgiving mind is full of fear and offers | love no room to be itself, no place where it can spread its wings in |
W1:123.3 | Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His | Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give |
W1:124.3 | or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal | love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the |
W1:124.3 | us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we will not doubt His | Love for us nor question His protection and His care. |
W1:124.11 | as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of | love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a |
W1:125.2 | own will, forever free as God's. He is not led by force, but only | love. He is not judged, but only sanctified. |
W1:125.7 | than your heart to you. His Voice is closer than your hand. His | Love is everything you are and that He is—the same as you, and you |
W1:126.13 | spend a quiet moment, opening your mind to His correction and His | Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives |
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 | who thinks that love can change. He does not see that changing | love must be impossible. And thus he thinks that he can love at times |
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 | he can love at times and hate at other times. He also thinks that | love can be bestowed on one and yet remain itself although it is |
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 | |
W1:127.3 | elude the mind that thinks of it as partial or in part. There is no | love but God's, and all of love is His. There is no other principle |
W1:127.3 | of it as partial or in part. There is no love but God's, and all of | love is His. There is no other principle which rules where love is |
W1:127.3 | all of love is His. There is no other principle which rules where | love is not. Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the |
W1:127.3 | is His. There is no other principle which rules where love is not. | Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the power holding |
W1:127.4 | fail to emphasize there is no difference in what you are and what | love is. Love's meaning is your own, and shared by God Himself. For |
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 |
W1:127.8 | to your clean and open mind. And He will bless the lesson with His | Love. |
W1:127.10 | all made free along with us. Now are they all our brothers in God's | Love. |
W1:127.11 | throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us outside our | love if we would know our Self. At least three times an hour think of |
W1:127.12 | I bless you, brother, with the | Love of God which I would share with you. For I would learn the |
W1:127.12 | share with you. For I would learn the joyous lesson that there is no | love but God's and yours and mine and everyone's. |
W1:128.6 | in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom, and to | love. |
W1:129.2 | away all things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting | love is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all |
W1:129.3 | it a loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible, where | love endures forever, hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no |
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 |
W1:134.2 | All truth belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His | Love. Does this need pardon? How can you forgive the sinless and |
W1:134.11 | Across this bridge, as powerful as | Love Which laid Its blessing on it, are all dreams of evil and of |
W1:137.6 | The body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And | love becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality that can be |
W1:139.9 | the truth about yourself and go your way rejoicing in the endless | Love of God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this |
W1:139.12 | mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father's | Love contains us all. |
W1:R4.9 | be shared with Him. And so each one will bring the message of His | Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So will communion |
W1:144.1 | [127] There is no | love but God's. |
W1:151.11 | frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you will see the | love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and |
W1:151.14 | and the happiness God wills His Son as proof of His eternal | Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing |
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 | a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects eternal | love and the rebirth of love which never died but has been kept |
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 |
W1:159.8 | and warmth and kindly care Christ's charity provides. They need the | love with which He looks on them. And they become His messengers who |
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 |
W1:164.6 | and recognized for what they are. And what is worthy of your | love receives your love, while nothing to be feared remains. |
W1:164.6 | for what they are. And what is worthy of your love receives your | love, while nothing to be feared remains. |
W1:165.2 | place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and | love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the |
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:R5.13 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:171.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:171.2 | [151] All things are echoes of the Voice of God. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:171.3 | [152] The power of decision is my own. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:172.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:172.2 | [153] In my defenselessness my safety lies. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:172.3 | [154] I am among the ministers of God. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:173.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:173.2 | [155] I will step back and let Him lead the way. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:173.3 | [156] I walk with God in perfect holiness. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
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. |
W1:177.3 | [164] Now are we one with Him Who is our Source. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:178.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:178.2 | [165] Let not my mind deny the thought of God. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:178.3 | [166] I am entrusted with the gifts of God. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:179.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:179.2 | [167] There is one life, and that I share with God. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:179.3 | [168] Your grace is given me. I claim it now. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:180.1 | God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:180.2 | [169] By grace I live. By grace I am released. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:180.3 | [170] There is no cruelty in God and none in me. God is but | Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:181.9 | of true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the | love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will become the |
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 |
W1:182.5 | the peace that is His home, resting in silence and in peace and | love. |
W1:182.11 | a little child who must beseech his father for protection and for | love. He rules the universe, and yet He asks unceasingly that you |
W1:185.14 | the call of every mind, the hope that lies beyond despair, the | love attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate has sought to |
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 | to what is true in us and feel Its all-embracing tenderness, Its | Love Which knows us perfect as Itself, Its sight which is the gift |
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 | and that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of | love created and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its |
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 |
W1:192.1 | forever pure as He, of love created and in love preserved, extending | love, creating in its name, forever one with God and with your Self. |
W1:192.10 | that you accept the way to freedom now. Deny him not. His Father's | Love for him belongs to you. Your function here on earth is only to |
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 |
W1:193.3 | He encompassed what He could not see nor understand by giving of His | Love and making Answer to a question which, though meaningless, His |
W1:193.4 | in hate to one in which forgiveness enters, and returns the hate to | love, so that the fear is gone. And now guilt cannot enter, for its |
W1:193.4 | has been changed to guiltlessness; the hatred has been rooted out by | love. |
W1:193.12 | does not remember who he is. And God would have him not forget His | Love and all the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now |
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 | slave than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he seems freer. | Love makes no comparisons. And gratitude can only be sincere if it is |
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 |
W1:195.8 | gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to | love by being loving, even as your Self. |
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. |
W1:197.5 | sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending | love, and adding to your never-ending joy, while you forgive but to |
W1:197.7 | to all They have created has no end, for gratitude remains a part of | love. |
W1:198.6 | this earth. His words are born in God, and come to you with Heaven's | love upon them. Those who hear His words have heard the song of |
W1:199.2 | cannot enter such a mind because it has been given to the Source of | Love. And fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to |
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 |
W1:199.7 | many who perceive themselves as bound and helpless and afraid. Let | love replace their fears through you. Accept salvation now, and give |
W1:199.8 | of joy your practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His | Love and happiness each time you say: |
W1:200.3 | Yet you can ask as easily for | love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no |
W1:200.6 | there appears to be a choice to make between success and failure, | love and fear? |
W1:200.10 | its soft embrace surround your heart and mind with comfort and with | love. |
W1:207.1 | turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away as I accept His boundless | Love for me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
W1:209.1 | [189] I feel the | Love of God within me now. The Love of God is what created me. The |
W1:209.1 | [189] I feel the Love of God within me now. The | Love of God is what created me. The Love of God is everything I am. |
W1:209.1 | Love of God within me now. The Love of God is what created me. The | Love of God is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His |
W1:209.1 | of God is what created me. The Love of God is everything I am. The | Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of God within me sets |
W1:209.1 | is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The | Love of God within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am free. For I |
W1:215.1 | [195] | Love is the way I walk in gratitude. The Holy Spirit is my only |
W1:215.1 | in gratitude. The Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in | love. And I give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go. I am not |
W1:220.1 | But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the | Love of God. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |

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 |

W2:225.1 | 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 |

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

W2:252.1 | more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon. Its | love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it |
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 | Its holiness, that stands beyond Your one creation or without the | Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like |
W2:264.1 | You in Your own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting | Love. |
W2:266.2 | on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us, united in the holy | Love of God. How many saviors God has given us! How can we lose the |
W2:267.1 | Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His | Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath, in every |
W2:267.1 | I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in | love, and held forever quiet and at peace within His loving arms. |
W2:267.2 | not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of | Love created. It is there and only there that I can be at home. |
W2:268.1 | thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In | Love was I created, and in Love will I remain forever. What can |
W2:268.1 | recognize my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in | Love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all |
W2:272.1 | will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your | Love, forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God's Son must |

W2:274.2 | to Him and there will be no fear today because the day is given unto | Love. |
W2:276.1 | His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny we were created in His | Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our |
W2:277.1 | He is as You created him, because he knows no laws except the Law of | Love. |
W2:278.2 | instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe and only | love is sure. |

W2:280.1 | willed that he be limitless and like Himself in freedom and in | love? |
W2:280.2 | alone I find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You | love and You created limitless. The honor that I give to him is |

W2:282.2 | Father, Your Name is | Love, and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed |

W2:294.1 | for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of | love bestowed upon it. Its neutrality protects it while it has a use. |
W2:295.1 | must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms, but | love is one. |
W2:295.2 | me to use the eyes of Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's | love to bless all things that I may look upon, that His forgiving |
W2:295.2 | love to bless all things that I may look upon, that His forgiving | love may rest on me. |
W2:298.1 | My gratitude permits my | love to be accepted without fear. And thus am I restored to my |

W2:298.2 | certain sanctuary and escape from everything that would obscure my | love for God, my Father, and His holy Son. |
W2:WISC.5 | Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father's | Love through him. |
W2:302.1 | vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when | love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today that I may look |
W2:302.2 | Our | Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing us the |
W2:303.1 | the sounds He understands and see but sights which show His Father's | Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in |
W2:303.2 | given me. He is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You | love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not |
W2:305.1 | and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For | Love has come and healed the world by giving it Christ's peace. |
W2:306.1 | the world I made. Today I can go past all fear and be restored to | love and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a |
W2:306.2 | We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your | Love, the gift of Christ is his. |
W2:308.1 | His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and | love. And love is ever-present, here and now. |
W2:308.1 | blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And | love is ever-present, here and now. |
W2:310.2 | There is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed | love into our hearts. |
W2:WILJ.4 | to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. Be not afraid of | love. For it alone can heal all sorrow, wipe away all tears, and |
W2:311.2 | we wait with open mind today to hear Your Judgment of the Son You | love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge. And so we let Your |
W2:311.2 | love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge. And so we let Your | Love decide what he whom You created as Your Son must be. |
W2:312.1 | fail to look upon what Christ would have him see and share Christ's | love for what he looks upon. |
W2:313.1 | all things as sinless, so that fear has gone and where it was is | love invited in. And love will come wherever it is asked. This vision |
W2:313.1 | so that fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And | love will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The |
W2:318.1 | the goal the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one Eternal | Love. I am salvation's means and end as well. |
W2:320.1 | Father shines upon his mind and lays before it all the strength and | love in earth and Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I am he |

W2:WICR.4 | of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For | Love remains with all Its thought, Its sureness being theirs. God's |
W2:322.2 | What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear and the return of | Love into my mind? |
W2:323.1 | sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt and freely let Your | Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain and |
W2:323.2 | returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. | Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, |
W2:323.2 | our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only | love remains. |
W2:326.1 | that You will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your | Love, where earth will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory |
W2:327.2 | give the means whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding | Love is gained at last. |

W2:WIE.1 | which It is denied. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and | love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is |
W2:WIE.5 | minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling-place, His joy, His | love, completely His, completely one with Him. |

W2:331.1 | to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that | Love has left Itself? There is no will except the will of Love. Fear |
W2:331.1 | think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the will of | Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that can conflict with Yours. |
W2:332.2 | not bind the world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your | Love has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would release |
W2:336.2 | is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind; Your | love is still abiding in my heart. |
W2:337.1 | My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting | love, freedom forever from all thought of loss, complete deliverance |
W2:337.1 | my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God's | Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son, |
W2:338.1 | to change them and exchange each fear thought for a happy thought of | love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved Son |
W2:339.1 | day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy or fear with | love. |
W2:340.2 | Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of | Love. |
W2:WIM.3 | eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in | love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to |
W2:WIM.3 | Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of | love. And each is laid before the Word of God upon the universal |
W2:341.1 | Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in | love and tenderness so deep and dear and still the universe smiles |
W2:341.1 | safe, how sacred then are we, abiding in Your smile, with all Your | Love bestowed upon us, living one with You in brotherhood and |
W2:344.1 | with Heaven's treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the law of | love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You. |
W2:345.1 | Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of | love is universal. Even here it takes a form which can be recognized |
W2:346.1 | and things perceived in time. I would forget all things except Your | Love. I would abide in You and know no laws except Your law of Love. |
W2:346.1 | Your Love. I would abide in You and know no laws except Your law of | Love. And I would find the peace which You created for Your Son, |
W2:346.2 | today what peace is ours when we forget all things except God's | Love. |
W2:348.1 | You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting | Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I |
W2:349.1 | give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of | love and give what I would find and make my own. It will be given me |
W2:350.2 | as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the Reality of | Love. |
W2:WAI.1 | Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His | Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. |
W2:WAI.1 | me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is | love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without |
W2:WAI.1 | I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His | love resides. I am His holy sinlessness itself, for in my purity |
W2:352.1 | I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet | love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a |
W2:352.1 | I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would | love my own Identity and find in Him the memory of You. |
W2:355.1 | Son would be Himself and know You as his Father and Creator and his | Love. |
W2:356.1 | He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your | Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of |
W2:358.1 | and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget Your | Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness |
W2:E.6 | 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 him through His eyes and |
W2:E.6 | love him, and He teaches us how to behold him through His eyes and | love him as He does. You do not walk alone. God's angels hover close |
W2:E.6 | You do not walk alone. God's angels hover close and all about. His | Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I will never leave you |

M:13.4 | must he sacrifice his hope of Heaven and remembrance of his Father's | Love. Who in his sane mind chooses nothing as a substitute for |
M:17.9 | This sword does not exist. The fear of God is causeless. But His | love is Cause of everything beyond all fear and thus forever real and |
M:18.4 | forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the world. His | love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion, for you are |
M:19.4 | wholly lacking in condemnation, an evaluation based entirely on | love—you have projected your injustice, attributing to God the lens |
M:23.4 | The name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol. But it stands for | love that is not of this world. It is a symbol that can safely be |
M:23.4 | And gratitude to God becomes the way in which He is remembered, for | love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind. God |
M:23.5 | led the way. Why would you not be grateful to him? He has asked for | love, but only that he might give it to you. You do not love |
M:23.5 | asked for love, but only that he might give it to you. You do not | love yourself. But in his eyes your loveliness is so complete and |
M:23.7 | from him, because his words have reached you in a language you can | love and understand. Are other teachers possible to lead the way to |
M:25.4 | the Holy Spirit must be given to weakness, for what is withheld from | love is given to fear and will be fearful in consequence. |
M:27.2 | waits, yet is the ending certain. Who loves such a god knows not of | love, because he has denied that life is real. Death has become |
M:27.3 | Death is the symbol of the fear of God. His | love is blotted out in the idea, which holds it from awareness like a |
M:27.4 | in this is possible. There is either a god of fear or One of | Love. The world attempts a thousand compromises and will attempt a |
M:27.5 | more sharply evident. Death is indeed the death of God if He is | Love. And now His own creation must stand in fear of Him. He is not |
M:27.6 | fosters in its vain attempts to cling to death and yet to think | love real are mindless magic, ineffectual and meaningless. God is, |
M:27.6 | see that otherwise He has an opposite, and fear would be as real as | love? |
M:28.2 | as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell. | Love is no longer feared but gladly welcomed. Idols have disappeared, |
M:28.5 | Now there are no distinctions. Differences have disappeared, and | Love looks on Itself. What further sight is needed? What remains that |
M:28.5 | accomplish? We have seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His | love behind all forms, beyond all purposes. Holy are we because His |
M:29.3 | is thus the escape from fear. And it is this that lets the memory of | love return to you. Do not, then, think that following the Holy |
M:29.6 | will protect him still. And how much more than this does your Father | love His Son? |
M:29.7 | Remember you are His completion and His | Love. Remember your weakness is His strength. But do not read this |

W1:130.4 | of differences you believe make up the world. They are not there. | Love's enemy has made them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so |
W1:161.6 | urged to look beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of | love's “enemy” Christ's vision does not see. The body is the target |

W2:WIW.2 | as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except | love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where God |
W2:WIM.1 | limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and | love's awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it |

Tx:13.29 | of love shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always | loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in love, |
Tx:13.29 | There is no fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who have always | loved your Father can have no fear for any reason to look within and |

Tx:20.9 | altar now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers, only dearly | loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns, but only lilies, |
Tx:20.47 | Idols accept, but never make return. They can be | loved, but cannot love. They do not understand what they are offered, |
Tx:21.8 | the song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, and how you | loved those who were there and listened with you. |
Tx:25.38 | yourself and “something else,” a “something” to be feared instead of | loved. Who would attack whatever he perceives as wholly innocent? And |
Tx:26.17 | God cannot be remembered until justice is | loved instead of feared. He cannot be unjust to anyone or anything |
Tx:27.5 | because it witnessed to the guilt in him which you perceived and | loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit |

Tx:31.67 | place to rest in for a while, where nothing need be feared but only | loved. Who is unwelcome to the kind in heart? And what could hurt the |
W1:51.4 | to let it go and make room for what can be seen and understood and | loved. I can exchange what I see now for this merely by being willing |
W1:107.2 | nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were | loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be like to have |
W1:170.10 | premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god. For fear is | loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested now |
W1:186.8 | shifting, and they seem to change from mourner to ecstatic bliss of | loved and loving. We can laugh or weep and greet the day with welcome |

Tx:1.86 | While he believes he is in a body, however, man can choose between | loveless and miraculous channels of expression. He can make an empty |

Tx:5.77 | statement of fact if the word “perish” is properly understood. Every | loveless thought must be undone. Even the word “undone” is fearful to |

Tx:10.37 | shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the love and the | loveliness of God, as perfect as his Creator and at peace with Him. |
Tx:13.33 | the fear that you will hear me not. I thank the Father for your | loveliness and for the many gifts that you will let me offer to the |
Tx:15.90 | the limits you have placed on your perception and no idea of all the | loveliness that you could see. But this you must remember—the |
Tx:17.7 | lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such | loveliness. And nothing will you value like unto this nor hold so |
Tx:17.8 | This | loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real world, bright and clean |
Tx:17.9 | Who planned salvation could complete it thus. The real world, in its | loveliness, you learn to reach. Fantasies are all undone, and no one |
Tx:17.11 | ugly in the darkness of your lack of reason is suddenly released to | loveliness. Not even what the Son of God made in insanity could be |
Tx:17.21 | hidden spark of beauty in your relationships and show it to you. Its | loveliness will so attract you that you will be unwilling ever to |
Tx:18.12 | walking together out of this world and through another to the | loveliness and joy the other holds within it. Would you still further |
Tx:18.91 | and move about, actions seem real, and forms appear and shift from | loveliness to the grotesque. And back and forth they go, as long as |
Tx:19.15 | on truth to enter and make lovely what has already been prepared for | loveliness. Truth follows faith and peace, completing the process of |
Tx:19.103 | He sinned because you cast the veil of sin upon Him to hide His | loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness out to you to share His |
Tx:20.42 | the future will add no more. Here, then, is everything. Here is the | loveliness of your relationship, with means and end in perfect |
Tx:20.53 | of their seeming power is frail as is a snowflake, but without its | loveliness. Is this the substitute you want for the eternal blessing |
Tx:20.77 | looked on what seemed terrifying and seen it change to sights of | loveliness and peace; when you have looked on scenes of violence and |
Tx:22.41 | Think of the | loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And think how |
Tx:22.42 | the other will gently have corrected for you, for in his sight your | loveliness is his salvation which he would protect from harm. And |
Tx:23.36 | never changes. Can you paint rosy lips upon a skeleton, dress it in | loveliness, pet it and pamper it, and make it live? And can you be |
Tx:24.19 | Think of the | loveliness that you will see within yourself when you have looked on |
Tx:24.32 | The special ones are all asleep, surrounded by a world of | loveliness they do not see. Freedom and peace and joy stand there |
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 they look for |
Tx:24.65 | fish, to house your specialness in better style or weave a frame of | loveliness around your hate, and you condemn it to decay and death. |
Tx:25.18 | instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece. Look at its | loveliness, and understand the Mind that thought it, not in flesh and |
Tx:25.36 | And every flower that ever bloomed has saved its perfume and its | loveliness for you. What aim can supersede the Will of God and of His |
Tx:27.11 | will it send forth the message it received and by its health and | loveliness proclaim the truth and value that it represents. Let it |
Tx:28.7 | now, with consequences here. They will surprise you with their | loveliness. The ancient new ideas they bring will be the happy |
Tx:31.93 | your own release. There is no place for hell within a world whose | loveliness can yet be so intense and so inclusive it is but a step |
Tx:31.94 | of hell, the secret “sins,” and hidden hates be gone. And all the | loveliness which they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to our |
W1:23.4 | already holds a replacement for everything you think you see now. | Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you will |
W1:124.4 | in our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His | loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the loving and the |
W1:124.11 | glass and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you, the | loveliness you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift |
W1:161.9 | created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's vision is his | loveliness reflected in a form so holy and so beautiful that you |
W2:247.1 | I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me look on you. Your | loveliness reflects my own. Your sinlessness is mine. You stand |
W2:263.1 | A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my choice instead of all the | loveliness with which You blessed creation—all its purity, its joy, |
W2:289.2 | step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to find the | loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and all his |
W2:291.1 | vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well. What | loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! |
M:23.5 | might give it to you. You do not love yourself. But in his eyes your | loveliness is so complete and flawless that he sees in it an image of |
lovely (25) | ||
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:17.7 | will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so | lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such |
Tx:17.38 | enclosure. The other is lightly framed and hung in light, | lovely to look upon for what it is. |
Tx:18.11 | with truth. God and His whole creation have entered it together. How | lovely and how holy is your relationship, with the truth shining upon |
Tx:18.94 | Yet even forgiveness is not the end. Forgiveness does make | lovely, but it does not create. It is the source of healing, but it |
Tx:19.15 | For faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make | lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows |
Tx:19.15 | Truth follows faith and peace, completing the process of making | lovely which they begin. For faith is still a learning goal, no |
Tx:19.21 | and awe. It is the most “holy” concept in the ego's system— | lovely and powerful, wholly true, and necessarily protected with |
Tx:20.5 | made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to make seem | lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to draw your |
Tx:21.8 | anything particular. But you remember from just this little part how | lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, |
Tx:22.54 | This holy relationship, | lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and blazing with a light |
Tx:23.33 | its dying conqueror, its substitute, the savior from salvation. How | lovely do the laws of fear make death appear! Give thanks unto the |
Tx:23.35 | to save. Be not deceived when madness takes a form you think is | lovely. What is intent on your destruction is not your friend. |
Tx:23.42 | Is death in any form, however | lovely and charitable it may seem to be, a blessing and a sign the |
Tx:23.50 | The | lovely light of your relationship is like the love of God. It cannot |
Tx:24.26 | can see himself as sinless, for he holds one error to himself as | lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable” and makes it sin. How |
Tx:24.41 | dream of specialness—however hidden or disguised the form; however | lovely it may seem to be; however much it delicately offers the hope |
Tx:25.18 | the Mind that thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as | lovely as Itself. Its holiness lights up the sinlessness the frame of |
Tx:27.7 | the message is the same. Adornment of the body seeks to show how | lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about the body |
Tx:29.42 | as well. For nothing here but is defined as what you see it for. How | lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How |
Tx:30.42 | in any form that would content you not, but in the whole completely | lovely Thought God holds of you. |
Tx:30.45 | outside of Heaven know not it is there. Yet still and white and | lovely will it shine through all eternity. There was no time it was |
Tx:30.49 | it up. You always fight illusions. For the truth behind them is so | lovely and so still in loving gentleness, were you aware of it you |
W1:186.11 | In | lovely contrast, certain as the sun's return each morning to dispel |
W1:187.9 | the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such | lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to |
loves (96) | ||
Tx:3.38 | [The Soul knows, | loves, and creates. These are its unequivocal functions.] The |
Tx:4.49 | You who identify with your egos cannot believe that God | loves you. You do not love what you have made, and what you made does |
Tx:5.90 | upon Him, because He careth for you. You are His care because He | loves you. His Voice reminds you always that all hope is yours |
Tx:8.45 | which are created like His? Your creations love you as your Soul | loves your Father for the gift of creation. There is no other gift |
Tx:9.98 | denial of Him therefore means that you love Him and that you know He | loves you. Remember that what you deny, you must have known. And if |
Tx:11.39 | you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He | loves with the love of the Father. |
Tx:11.54 | and perfectly aware of how to teach you what you are. Because He | loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to |
Tx:11.54 | what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He | loves, for He wills to share it. Remembering you always, He cannot |
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 | own, he will deny the vision of the other world, maintaining that he | loves what he loves not and following not the road that love points |
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:13.30 | your relationships and making them unreal. You can love only as God | loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no love apart from |
Tx:13.33 | on what I treasure. The difference is that I love only what God | loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you beyond the value |
Tx:13.34 | gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our blamelessness. God | loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and love Him perfectly? |
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:16.40 | to your Creator. Would He not answer you whose completion is His? He | loves you wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is |
Tx:17.7 | see the Son 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 |
Tx:18.10 | there. And He would never accept something else instead of you. He | loves you both, equally and as one. And as He loves you, so you are. |
Tx:18.10 | instead of you. He loves you both, equally and as one. And as He | loves you, so you are. You are not joined together in illusions but |
Tx:19.81 | of guilt you laid upon the body would kill it. For what the ego | loves, it kills for its obedience. But what obeys it not, it cannot |
Tx:19.103 | will give you yours as surely as God created every living thing and | loves it. And he will give it truly, for it will be both offered and |
Tx:20.9 | the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and | loves. |
Tx:20.20 | is carefully preserved by the ego, whose image it is and which it | loves, and placed outside you in the world. And to this world must |
Tx:20.66 | is vision. For what the seeing look upon is sinless. No one who | loves can judge, and what he sees is free of condemnation. And what |
Tx:21.37 | The faith you give each other can accomplish this. For He Who | loves the world is seeing it for you without one spot of sin upon it |
Tx:22.5 | another step. If you attack whom God would heal and hate the one He | loves, then you and your Creator have a different will. Yet if you |
Tx:22.53 | how He can change the role of means and end so easily in what God | loves and would have free forever. But be you rather grateful that |
Tx:22.56 | service to yourself. You who are now His means must love all that He | loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of everything that is |
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:24.62 | demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs does he deny to what he | loves. And while it calls to him, he hears no other Voice. No effort |
Tx:25.20 | make known to you His love if you but share His praise of what He | loves? God cherishes creation as the perfect Father that He is. And |
Tx:25.43 | world to fear, and no one who is different from himself. And as he | loves them, so he looks upon himself with love and gentleness. He |
Tx:25.73 | by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be done unto the Son He | loves and would protect from all unfairness you might seek to offer, |
Tx:26.17 | is belongs to Him and will forever be as He created it. Nothing He | loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special function |
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 |
W2:281.2 | safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not attack the Son He | loves, for what He loves is mine to love as well. |
W2:281.2 | over me. And I would not attack the Son He loves, for what He | loves is mine to love as well. |
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. |
