Tx:13.69  freedom, and joy. It is not a cause, but an effect. It is the  natural result of choosing right, attesting to your happiness that

W1:41.7  to reach God. In fact it is very easy because it is the most  natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural

Tx:4.29  of real self-preservation and are very likely to decide that you  need precisely what would hurt you most. Whether you know it now or
Tx:4.30  as very weak and deprived, capable of functioning only as a thing in  need.
Tx:4.32  All appetites are “getting” mechanisms, representing the ego's  need to confirm itself. This is as true of bodily appetites as it is
Tx:4.36  does not apply to the Soul, which is not in danger and does not  need to be salvaged. Salvation is nothing more than
Tx:4.39  on the ego in an attempt to unify their clearly unrelated data. It  need hardly be said that an attempt to relate the unrelated cannot
Tx:4.40  ingenious forms. We do not have to explain anything. This is why we  need not trouble ourselves with inventiveness. The highly specific
Tx:4.47  but salvation depends on disinhibiting the former. The reason you  need my help is because you have repressed your own Guide and
Tx:4.47  my help is because you have repressed your own Guide and therefore  need guidance. My role is to separate the true from the false in your
Tx:4.57  wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this  need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul
Tx:4.59 When you are sad, know that this  need not be. Depression always arises ultimately from a sense of
Tx:4.60  know that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the ego and  need not be. You can be as vigilant against the ego's dictates as for
Tx:4.61  ego is in command because only the ego can experience guilt. This  need not be.
Tx:4.62  vigilant against the demands of the ego to disengage yourself. This  need not be.
Tx:4.65  God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you  need but say, “I will not look there because I know these images are
Tx:4.95  everything else it dictates. Its communication is controlled by its  need to protect itself, and it will disrupt communication when it
Tx:4.101  from God. It is not enough until it is shared. God does not  need revelation returned to Him, which would clearly be impossible,
Tx:4.103  as a movement is an improvement over the overt neglect of those in  need of help, but it is often little more than a painful attempt on
Tx:4.105 A mind that recoils from a hurt body is in great  need of rehabilitation itself. All symptoms of hurt need true
Tx:4.105  body is in great need of rehabilitation itself. All symptoms of hurt  need true helpfulness, and whenever they are met with this, the mind
Tx:4.105  is not concerned either with the ego's fight for control or its  need to avoid and withdraw. You can do much on behalf of your own
Tx:5.11  of the Atonement at the same time. Before that, there was no  need for healing and no one was comfortless.
Tx:5.21  but you have let the belief in darkness enter your minds, and so you  need a new light. The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let
Tx:5.21  breaks through into its own. Before the separation you did not  need guidance. You knew as you will know again, but as you do not
Tx:5.54 I cannot forget my  need to teach what I have learned, which arose in me because I
Tx:5.75 We  need cite only a few examples to see how the ego's interpretations
Tx:5.81  patience towards the Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you  need to learn now is that only infinite patience can produce
Tx:5.90  that you can plan for your safety and joy better than He can? You  need be neither careful nor careless; you need merely cast your cares
Tx:5.90  better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you  need merely cast your cares upon Him, because He careth for you. You
Tx:5.92  last-ditch defense of its own existence. It reflects both the ego's  need to separate and your willingness to side with its separateness.
Tx:5.93  urgent it is that you fulfill it. There is time for delay, but there  need not be. God weeps at the “sacrifice” of His Children, who
Tx:6.5  that the crucifixion was the last foolish journey that the Sonship  need take and that it should mean release from fear to anyone who
Tx:6.11  me with the sword, which I naturally refused, not being at all in  need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my brothers do not share
Tx:6.13  and had healed many. We are still equal as learners, even though we  need not have equal experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can
Tx:6.16  you will know that you cannot either hurt or be hurt and that many  need your blessing to help them hear this for themselves. When you
Tx:6.16  to help them hear this for themselves. When you perceive only this  need in them and do not respond to any other, you will have learned
Tx:6.23  its lesson, too, has equal reality when it is learned.] I do not  need gratitude any more than I needed protection, but you need to
Tx:6.23  I do not need gratitude any more than I needed protection, but you  need to develop your weakened ability to be grateful, or you cannot
Tx:6.23  ability to be grateful, or you cannot appreciate God. He does not  need your appreciation, but you do.
Tx:6.29  This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one  need which in this world is universal. To perceive yourself this way
Tx:6.34  to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never left Him, you  need only perceive it as it is to be returned. The full awareness of
Tx:6.35  and difficult. It is surely clear, however, that the perfect  need nothing and cannot experience perfection as a difficult
Tx:6.42  totally harmless. Once it can accept this fully, it does not see the  need to protect itself. The protection of God then dawns upon it,
Tx:6.45  Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer  need His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as part of you.
Tx:6.48  do believe it you will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in  need of allies though not of brothers. Perceiving something alien to
Tx:6.54  and thus side with the belief that those who have everything  need help and are therefore helpless. This is the kind of “reasoning”
Tx:6.58  between sleeping and waking, so that they will understand they  need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will
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:6.72 Increasing motivation for change in the learner is all that a teacher  need do to guarantee change. This is because a change in motivation
Tx:6.88  the Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you  need not choose at all. This will finally liberate your will from
Tx:6.95  must now turn your effort against it. Only this can cancel out the  need for effort and call upon the being which you both have and are.
Tx:7.9  as sick, he is perceiving himself as not whole and therefore in  need. If you too see him this way, you are seeing him as if he were
Tx:7.18  no translation, because it is perfectly understood, but it does  need extension because it means extension. Communication is perfectly
Tx:7.27  of you, since the ego perceives itself as at war and therefore in  need of allies. You who are not at war must look for brothers and
Tx:7.28  of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate your  need to be vigilant against this idea, because all your conflicts
Tx:7.33 Truth can only be recognized and  need only be recognized. Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty
Tx:7.39  of the ego's decision in this matter are so apparent that they  need no elaboration here, but the Holy Spirit's decision to use the
Tx:7.39  communication has such a direct connection with healing that it does  need clarification. The unhealed healer obviously does not understand
Tx:7.40  that the body can both communicate and create and therefore does not  need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act
Tx:7.51  Him Who created you. Our brothers are forgetful. That is why they  need your remembrance of me and Him who created me. Through this
Tx:7.63  that two totally contradictory thought systems share truth, your  need for vigilance is apparent. Your minds are dividing their
Tx:7.72  acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His  need is yours. You need the blessing you can offer him. There is no
Tx:7.72  is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His need is yours. You  need the blessing you can offer him. There is no way for you to have
Tx:7.73 You do not  need God's blessing since that you have forever, but you do need
Tx:7.73  do not need God's blessing since that you have forever, but you do  need yours. The picture you see of yourselves is deprived, unloving,
Tx:7.102 That is why you  need to demonstrate the obvious to yourself. It is not obvious to
Tx:8.1  in a course for knowing on the grounds that you do not know. The  need for the course is implicit in your objection. Knowledge is not
Tx:8.3  of reality which you must make to secure peace, and the only one you  need ever make.
Tx:8.17  Holy Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you  need Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release
Tx:8.41  want to share it you will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I  need you as much as you need me.
Tx:8.41  I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you as much as you  need me.
Tx:8.67  yours is unified, it is His. Interfere with His purpose, and you  need salvation. You have condemned yourself, but condemnation is not
Tx:8.76  is a witness to your frailty, your vulnerability, and your extreme  need to depend on external guidance. The ego uses this as its best
Tx:8.76  external guidance. The ego uses this as its best argument for your  need for its guidance. It dictates endless prescriptions for avoiding
Tx:8.81  it is. And 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
Tx:9.8  is for. God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do not  need to learn this, but you do need to learn to want this, and for
Tx:9.8  to create 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
Tx:9.8  This is the Holy Spirit's good use of an ability which you do not  need, but which you have made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to
Tx:9.36  place in eternity because they are reparative. Yet while you still  need healing, your miracles are the only witnesses to your reality
Tx:9.36  be separated. When you have learned that they are the same, the  need for time is over.
Tx:9.97 It is because you did not make yourselves that you  need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your
Tx:10.4  this journey alone. I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath  need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call of love with joy?
Tx:10.5 You have learned your  need of healing. Would you bring anything else to the Sonship,
Tx:10.5  Would you bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your  need of healing for yourself? For in this lies the beginning of
Tx:10.20  trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of God. Yet you  need far more than patience.
Tx:10.21  the little spark and are willing to let it grow. Your willingness  need not be perfect, because His is. If you will merely offer Him a
Tx:10.24 God's Son is indeed in  need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his will is
Tx:10.31  it is yours, and belonging to you, it is His. Your Soul does not  need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. You
Tx:10.39  at them, for not looking is the way they are protected. There is no  need to shrink from illusions, for they cannot be dangerous. We are
Tx:10.57  that they have beheld God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they  need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of
Tx:10.75  away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you will see no  need to ask it of Him.
Tx:10.76  accepted no guide at all. Instruction in perception is your great  need, for you understand nothing. Recognize this but do not accept
Tx:10.89  understand them, and because you are deceived by what you see, you  need reality to dispel your fears.
Tx:11.4  calls for help as exactly what they are except your own perceived  need to attack. It is only this that makes you willing to engage in
Tx:11.4  endless “battles” with reality in which you deny the reality of the  need for healing by making it unreal. You would not do this except
Tx:11.6  for help, you are refusing help. Would you maintain that you do not  need it? Yet this is what you are maintaining when you refuse to
Tx:11.6  you will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not  need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do need His. Only
Tx:11.6  does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do  need His. Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your
Tx:11.7  hear his call for the help of God, and you will recognize your own  need for the Father.
Tx:11.8 Your interpretations of your brother's  need is your interpretation of yours. By giving help you are asking
Tx:11.8  By giving help you are asking for it, and if you perceive but one  need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will recognize God's
Tx:11.8  of your Father closer to your awareness. For the sake of your  need, then, hear every call for help as what it is, so God can answer
Tx:11.9  from it, although the recognition is necessary to demonstrate the  need for escape. The Holy Spirit must still translate it into truth.
Tx:11.9  from reality, not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the  need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step
Tx:11.24  have invested wrongly, and they are poor indeed! Because they are in  need, it is given you to help them since you are among them. Consider
Tx:11.24  poverty is lack, and there is but one lack since there is but one  need.
Tx:11.26  invested as they had, it would never occur to you to overlook their  need.
Tx:11.38  quite apparent that it had not taught you the response pattern you  need. The ego will therefore distort love and teach you that love
Tx:11.43  it is undivided. The strong do not attack because they see no  need to do so. Before the idea of attack can enter your mind, you
Tx:11.44  failed to weaken you, you are still strong. You therefore have no  need to “equalize” the situation to establish your strength.
Tx:11.46  with your own content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor learners  need special teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal
Tx:11.52  not divided, and the means and the end are in complete accord. You  need offer only undivided attention. Everything else will be given
Tx:11.65 As long as you believe you have two functions, so long will you  need correction. For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal
Tx:11.88  because he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he  need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no
Tx:11.88  need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no  need of salvation.
Tx:11.97  associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a sense of  need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of God as
Tx:12.10  for the Holy Spirit to show it to you and dispel it, without the  need for you to raise it to awareness yourself. Yet there is one more
Tx:12.16  the pain in this mind is so apparent when it is uncovered that its  need of healing cannot be denied. Not all the tricks and games you
Tx:12.30 The Holy Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the  need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the function of time as
Tx:12.59  are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not  need. It is not lit with artificial light, and night comes not upon
Tx:12.62  of this strange world you made but do not want. The only effort you  need make to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did
Tx:12.68 Your Father knoweth that you have  need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in
Tx:12.68  you have need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you  need in eternity? In your world you do need things because it is a
Tx:12.68  is so, for what could you need in eternity? In your world you do  need things because it is a world of scarcity in which you find
Tx:12.68  yes! As Mediator between the two worlds, He knows what you have  need of and what will not hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept
Tx:12.69 Everything that the ego tells you that you  need will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to
Tx:12.69  have gotten in its name. Therefore ask not of yourselves what you  need, for you do not know and your advice unto yourself will hurt
Tx:12.69  and your advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you  need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you  need. For He will give you all things that do not block the way to
Tx:12.70  things that do not block the way to light. And what else could you  need? In time He gives you all the things that you need have and will
Tx:12.70  else could you need? In time He gives you all the things that you  need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He
Tx:12.70  things that you need have and will renew them as long as you have  need of them. He will take nothing from you as long as you have any
Tx:12.70  need of them. He will take nothing from you as long as you have any  need of it. And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary
Tx:12.70  as you have any need of it. And yet He knows that everything you  need is temporary and will but last until you step aside from all
Tx:12.73 The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What  need have I but to awake in Him?
Tx:12.75  the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you  need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find
Tx:12.75  teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only real  need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the world lies only
Tx:13.7  your individual concern. You, who are part of it and all of it,  need only realize that it is of the Father, not of you. Your role in
Tx:13.9  is perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His name. They  need no healing, nor do you when you know them.
Tx:13.40 You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have  need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary
Tx:13.40  When you have learned this, you will find the answer that makes the  need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own will unto
Tx:13.40  flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you will  need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want, and
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
Tx:13.49  a world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the  need for this if you will realize that to deny is the decision not to
Tx:13.58  Let Me make the one distinction for you which you cannot make but  need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your
Tx:13.74  given them because it is holy and will bring to them all that they  need, coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is
Tx:13.74  strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they want and  need alone.
Tx:13.75  gladly offers you. He offers you but what God gave Him for you. You  need not decide whether or not you are deserving of it. God knows you
Tx:13.87  Presence next to you but cannot know that you are one with Him. This  need not be taught. Learning applies only to the condition in which
Tx:13.89  you escape this guilt by failing to fulfill your function here? You  need not understand creation to do what must be done before that
Tx:14.9  the guiltlessness which must have been denied to produce  need of healing. Do not withhold this glad acknowledgment, for hope
Tx:14.9  can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn  need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching
Tx:14.9  failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have  need of teaching is to fail to learn from them.
Tx:14.40  you from everything that it is not. The Atonement is so gentle you  need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to your
Tx:14.42  in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the ego. You  need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden
Tx:14.43  that is in him. He recognizes it because he has been taught his  need for it but knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then,
Tx:14.52  recognize 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
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 these two
Tx:14.57  must 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
Tx:14.64  taught yourselves. How would you know? Your part is very simple. You  need only recognize that everything you learned you do not want. Ask
Tx:14.73  of Him. Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only this that you  need do. The Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so
Tx:14.74  His sight, He gives the gift of peace to everyone who perceives the  need for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it will
Tx:15.1  you learn only of Him. When this has happened, you will no longer  need a teacher or time in which to learn.
Tx:15.12  the Holy Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no  need of more. It takes far longer to teach you how to be willing to
Tx:15.32  gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in  need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you
Tx:15.32  yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God  need not seek to find anything.
Tx:15.43  you would have it. Yet it would not be Atonement if there were no  need for Atonement. You will not be able to accept perfect
Tx:15.49  result in pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it serve no  need but His. All the guilt in it arises from your use of it. All the
Tx:15.49  your imagined needs, which would destroy the relationship. Your only  need is His.
Tx:15.53  free 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
Tx:15.55  judge the Self of God? God has created it beyond judgment out of His  need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no need except to
Tx:15.55  out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no  need except to extend it. In the holy instant, there is no conflict
Tx:15.62  me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no  need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy
Tx:15.62  you, as you will give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your  need of this. For in the holy instant, you will recognize the only
Tx:15.62  need of this. For in the holy instant, you will recognize the only  need the aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by this
Tx:15.74  which the ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only  need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt will
Tx:15.75  be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own  need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot teach through fear. And
Tx:15.78  And you understand that your completion is God's, Whose only  need is to have you be complete. For your completion makes you His in
Tx:15.79 The holy instant does not replace the  need for learning, for the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your
Tx:15.80 Hear Him gladly and learn of Him that you have  need of no special relationships at all. You but seek in them what
Tx:15.80  by desiring that it be all that there is. God's Son has such great  need of your willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive
Tx:15.80  of your willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive of  need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share and
Tx:15.80  for this that you cannot conceive of need so great. Behold the only  need that God and His Son share and will to meet together. You are
Tx:15.83  teach you what you do not understand. God would respond to every  need, whatever form it takes. And so He has kept this channel open to
Tx:15.88  yours. Yet your minds are already continuous, and their union  need only be accepted, and the loneliness in Heaven is gone.
Tx:15.89  but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the  need your creations have to be with you forever, you would experience
Tx:15.91  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 are no bodies, and
Tx:15.101  and as simple as opening your eyes to daylight when you have no more  need of sleep.
Tx:15.102  idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you  need but invite Him in Who is there already, by recognizing that His
Tx:16.4  the past upon my Guest. I have invited Him, and He is here. I  need do nothing except not to interfere.
Tx:16.63  of the body is so diminished in your sight that you will see no  need at all to magnify it. For you will realize that the only value
Tx:16.67  longing on the travesty it made of your relationships. Now no one  need suffer, for you have come too far to yield to the illusion of
Tx:16.69  His perspective to give it to you completely. And your willingness  need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His task to atone
Tx:17.1  “sins” are but his own imagining. His reality is forever sinless. He  need not be forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed
Tx:17.12  no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could ever be  need of salvation?
Tx:17.36  the defense of truth. The truth itself needs no defense, but you do  need defense against your own acceptance of the gift of death. When
Tx:17.49  can escape from your distress only by getting rid of each other. You  need not part entirely if you choose not to do so. But you must
Tx:17.75  it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you  need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your
Tx:18.7  and separate in shifting and totally meaningless patterns which  need not be judged at all. To judge them individually is pointless.
Tx:18.29  darkness in them is offered to the light and is removed forever. My  need for you, joined with me in the holy light of your relationship,
Tx:18.29  you, joined with me in the holy light of your relationship, is your  need for salvation. Would I not give you what you gave to me? For
Tx:18.32  far greater than you can understand. It is your realization that you  need do so little that enables Him to give so much.
Tx:18.33  That is why you came. If you could come without them, you would not  need the holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you
Tx:18.34  He wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not  need the strength of willingness to come from you, but only from His
Tx:18.37  restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal. I  need add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing
Tx:18.39  You make it difficult because you insist there must be more that you  need do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give
Tx:18.39  that you need do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you  need give so little to receive so much.] And it is very hard for you
Tx:18.39  the truth and makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you  need understand nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks
Tx:18.67  restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared. Now you  need but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more
Tx:18.67  to both of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to remember you  need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to
Tx:18.67  by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization: “I  need do nothing.”
Tx:18.68  will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not  need this time. Time has been saved for you because you are together.
Tx:18.68  me by only this one preparation and practice, doing nothing else. “I  need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the body. And if you recognize you  need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind.
Tx:18.69  right now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who  need do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and
Tx:18.69  is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no  need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place within you
Tx:18.95  itself is still beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any  need for us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond words. We
Tx:18.95  for us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond words. We  need remember only that whoever attains the real world, beyond which
Tx:19.39  brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you  need to see. When the peace in you has been extended to encompass
Tx:19.39  everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What  need is there for seeing then? When God has taken the last step
Tx:19.39  His most holy Son. And the Father will accept them in His Name. What  need is there of seeing in the presence of His gratitude?
Tx:19.98  He Who brought us here together will offer you the innocence you  need and that you will accept it for my love and His.
Tx:19.100 To look upon the fear of God does  need some preparation. Only the sane can look on stark insanity and
Tx:19.101  and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to fear. Brothers, you  need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in madness or in
Tx:20.8 I have great  need for lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I
Tx:20.11  you now. You will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you  need you have.
Tx:20.16  condition are adjustments necessary because they are not true. Who  need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to understand?
Tx:20.29  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 in him
Tx:20.32  they are all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the same  need not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to
Tx:20.33 The plan is not of you, nor  need you be concerned with anything except the part that has been
Tx:20.33  will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not  need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your part lies all
Tx:20.36  no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you  need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt
Tx:20.36  one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You  need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only
Tx:20.41  used only as the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds  need not the body to communicate. The sight that sees the body has no
Tx:20.58  end are still discrepant. And this produces great discomfort. This  need not be. This course requires almost nothing of you. It is
Tx:20.68  Rejoice in what is yours but for the asking and think not that you  need make either means or end. All this is given you who would but
Tx:20.71  Can such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress and  need for help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the perfect
Tx:20.71  Judgment will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who  need his strength. There is no problem, no event or situation, no
Tx:20.74  and the remedy. Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you  need to do is recognize you did this. Once you accept this simple
Tx:20.77  happily beside them in dancing brooks that never waste away, who  need persuade you to accept the gift of vision? And after vision, who
Tx:20.77  on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And never  need you think that there is something else for you to see.
Tx:21.5 There is no  need to learn through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously
Tx:21.13  of you to learn this course. It is the same small willingness you  need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little
Tx:21.14 This is the only thing that you  need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the  need for you to give this little offering. Look closer, then, at what
Tx:21.32  you have accepted them completely instead of yours, you will have  need of them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are
Tx:21.53  Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since the  need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same instant. Such would
Tx:21.56  exists. The partially insane have access to it, and only they have  need of it. Knowledge does not depend on it, and madness keeps it out.
Tx:21.72  Those who are strong are never treacherous because they have no  need to dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army
Tx:21.76  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 for you.
Tx:21.78  to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any form, all you  need do is simply ask yourself,
Tx:21.88  if what you desire you receive and happiness is constant, then you  need ask for it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it
Tx:22.1  long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and  need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together,
Tx:22.2  of what you both believed and saw. And with their going is the  need for sin gone with them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely
Tx:22.2  And with their going is the need for sin gone with them. Who has  need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their brothers
Tx:22.2  themselves. It is this difference, seen but not real, that makes the  need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would
Tx:22.8  apart from His? Reason would tell you that this is no secret that  need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of
Tx:22.9  convey to you what you can see. It reaches you directly without a  need to be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be
Tx:22.12  and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He will  need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what he
Tx:22.28 All you  need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is share His vision.
Tx:22.45  What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only illusions  need defense because of weakness. And how can it be difficult to walk
Tx:22.45  You are the strong ones in this seeming conflict. And you  need no defense. Everything that needs defense you do not want, for
Tx:22.50 Forget not, when you feel the  need arise to be defensive about anything, you have identified
Tx:23.6  it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy through a world in bitter  need of the redemption that your innocence bestows upon it! What can
Tx:23.19  laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing and  need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone beyond.
Tx:24.5  the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of reality and a  need to judge that cannot be escaped.
Tx:24.19  has taken from him the gift that God would have him give to you. His  need to give it is as great as yours to have it. Let him forgive you
Tx:24.21 Here is your savior from your specialness. He is in  need of your acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his.
Tx:24.42  in you looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that could  need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify
Tx:24.44  to guide. Be glad that only Christ can lend you His while you have  need of them. They are illusions too, as much as yours. And yet,
Tx:24.59  It stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in  need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its
Tx:25.21  and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his Father. You  need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never sinned. Give then
Tx:25.26  the universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the  need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's
Tx:25.27  here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor  need he stay more than an instant.] For he has come with Heaven's
Tx:25.30  gentleness. It is not there in His forgiving eyes. And therefore it  need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief perception cannot
Tx:25.31  of himself? Is this a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he  need help or condemnation? Is it your purpose that he be saved or
Tx:25.37  is no reason to perceive the Son of God as other than he is. The  need for guilt is gone because it has no purpose and is meaningless
Tx:25.41  to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has no  need but this—that you allow him freedom to complete the task God
Tx:25.63  And so you would not learn it is your will to be without it. You  need not give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd
Tx:25.63  not give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no  need of Him. But this He needs—that you prefer He take it than that
Tx:25.75  it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You  need not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need
Tx:25.75  You need not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor  need you look to your experience within the world, which is but
Tx:25.75  is really happening within yourself. The understanding which you  need comes not of you but from a larger Self, so great and holy that
Tx:25.75  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 you!
Tx:26.10  the same respect and through the same approach. The aspects which  need solving do not change, whatever form the problem seems to take.
Tx:26.17  memory of His love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you  need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell,
Tx:26.25  which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless love could  need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives way to
Tx:26.28  be feared? What other miracle is there but this? And what else  need there be to make the space between you disappear?
Tx:26.43  at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of God nor any  need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago. Look
Tx:26.90  with justice and with love. If you perceive injustice anywhere, you  need but say:
Tx:27.2  you make 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
Tx:27.3  you consent to suffer pain, to be deprived, unfairly treated, or in  need of anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon God's
Tx:27.21  even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And  need your healing be delayed because you pause to listen to insanity?
Tx:27.23  your brother, different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in  need of your correction as the one more innocent than he. This splits
Tx:27.34  to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant will not  need defense of any kind. For you will give it overwhelming
Tx:27.34  thus is God left free to take the final step Himself. [For this you  need no pictures and no learning aids.] And what will ultimately take
Tx:27.45  must be gone forever from your mind. For if it were, there'd be no  need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you
Tx:27.53  given you when you accept the healing for yourself. Its total value  need not be appraised by you to let you understand that you have
Tx:27.60  Be witnesses unto the miracle and not the laws of sin. There is no  need to suffer any more. But there is need that you be healed,
Tx:27.60  the laws of sin. There is no need to suffer any more. But there is  need that you be healed, because the suffering of the world has made
Tx:27.64  as if the world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no  need to go beyond the obvious in terms of cause.
Tx:27.65 There is indeed a  need. The world's escape from condemnation is a need which those
Tx:27.65 There is indeed a need. The world's escape from condemnation is a  need which those within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do
Tx:27.65  world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize their common  need. For each one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation
Tx:27.67  witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a  need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was first
Tx:27.78  things, and tosses them away for senseless things it does not  need and does not even want. It hires other bodies, that they may
Tx:27.89  do not 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
Tx:27.90  separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you. Now  need you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The
Tx:28.10  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 miracle a
Tx:28.14  has done nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he never had a  need for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects.
Tx:28.25  and the bodies which still seem to move about as separate things  need not be feared. And so they are not sick.
Tx:28.54  and no doubts. It does not wonder what it is. And so it has no  need to be competitive. It can be victimized but cannot feel itself
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 space, a
Tx:28.64  judged apart from its foundation. If it rests on straw, there is no  need to bar the door and lock the windows and make fast the bolts.
Tx:29.1  between you and His love through which you can escape if there be  need for you to flee.
Tx:29.42  to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you  need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and
Tx:29.49  of release in what appeared to be an endless circle of despair, you  need but to decide you do not know the purpose of the world. You give
Tx:29.56  and lets the truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not  need belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol
Tx:29.62  last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have  need of idols which will hold the judgment off from resting on
Tx:29.64  but dream, and idols are the toys you dream you play with. Who has  need of toys but children? They pretend they rule the world and give
Tx:29.66  not to retain the toys of children. Put them all away, for you have  need of them no more. The dream of judgment is a children's game in
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have little  need to last. They are not made to separate the mind from what it
Tx:30.1  becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you  need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it can be
Tx:30.1  they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we  need to practice them awhile, until they are the rules by which you

Tx:30.20  being thrust upon you but is something that you want and that you  need, because you do not like the way you feel. This tiny opening
Tx:30.20  will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you  need to let yourself be helped.
Tx:30.28  dream of judgment has forever been undone. But meanwhile, you have  need for practicing the rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider
Tx:30.38  that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as if you said, “I have no  need of everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as

Tx:30.54  simple choice that will forever place you far beyond deception. You  need not concern yourself with how this will be done, for this you
Tx:30.56  is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And the Son of God can have no  need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could ever want.
Tx:30.62  yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God  need not create His Son again that what is his be given back to him.
Tx:30.64  recognized Whose hand you hold! Within your hand is everything you  need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear forever and to go
Tx:31.13  which must be prepared, no time to be expended, and no plans that  need be laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle
Tx:31.22  will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in  need of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call
Tx:31.22  you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you  need but come away without the thoughts you did not want and that
Tx:31.29  to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. It gives no orders that the mind  need serve nor sets conditions that it must obey. It holds in prison
Tx:31.46  No one who makes a picture of himself omits this face, for he has  need of it. The other side he does not want to see. Yet it is here
Tx:31.52  something be kept hidden? If the world be evil, there is still no  need to hide what you are made of. Who is there to see? And what but
Tx:31.52  you are made of. Who is there to see? And what but is attacked could  need defense?
Tx:31.67  of your trust; a happy place to rest in for a while, where nothing  need be feared but only loved. Who is unwelcome to the kind in heart?
Tx:31.72  you may have the gift of kind forgiveness which you offer one whose  need for it is just the same as yours. And let the cruel concept of
Tx:31.73  dooms you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it  need not be fixed unless you choose to hold it past the hope of

W1:47.7  it is hardly a sufficient one in giving you the confidence which you  need and to which you are entitled. You must also gain an awareness
W1:49.3 We will  need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more if
W1:R1.4  special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You will  need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather than

W1:65.10 You  need not use these exact words, but try to get a sense of being
W1:66.12 We  need great honesty today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider
W1:67.6  thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient and that you  need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about
W1:67.7  today to practice the idea for today as often as you can. You  need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible
W1:69.3  to reach what is dearer to us than all else. Salvation is our only  need. There is no other purpose here and no other function to
W1:70.4  you to be healed, and so He has kept the Source of healing where the  need for healing lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making
W1:73.2  world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego's  need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain it, peoples it
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by time but by  need. You will see many problems today, each one calling for an
W1:85.4  to sight. The light of the world will shine all this away. I have no  need for this. I want to see.
W1:90.7 I  need not wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this problem is
W1:91.9 If you are not a body, what are you? You  need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of
W1:91.9  Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You  need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the
W1:91.9  something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. You  need a real experience of something else, something more solid and
W1:92.3  of itself—the small, the weak, the sickly and the dying, those in  need, the helpless and afraid, the sad, the poor, the starving, and
W1:95.4  have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and of your  need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this,

W1:99.4  one? What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize the  need illusions bring and offer means by which they are undone without
W1:99.14  to Him who 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
W1:101.5 You  need the practice periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real,
W1:102.7 Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. You have no  need to be less loving to God's Son than He Whose Love created him as

W1:R3.10 Here is another chance to use it well. In these reviews we stress the  need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer
W1:R3.10  Use one on the hour and the other one a half an hour later. You  need not give more than just a moment to each one.
W1:R3.12  to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you  need help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business
W1:R3.14  not forget how much you can learn now. Do not forget your Father's  need of you as you review these thoughts He gave to you.
W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You will  need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you above the
W1:126.8  understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will  need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the
W1:126.8  alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the Help you  need is there. Give Him your faith today and ask Him that He share
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
W1:128.1 The world you see has nothing that you  need to offer you, nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything
W1:130.12  to take the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you  need say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this:
W1:132.19 You  need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the

W1:135.22  part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we  need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no

W1:139.5 It is for this denial that you  need Atonement. Your denial made no change in what you are. But you

W1:140.6  Nor does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the  need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to

W1:153.9 We look past dreams today and recognize that we  need no defense because we are created unassailable, without all
W1:153.21  from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you  need to give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real to

Tx:25.64 Here is the only principle salvation  needs. Nor is it necessary that your faith in it be strong,
Tx:26.22 Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception  needs salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet

Tx:4.56  your feelings have a narrow range on the negative side but are  never purely joyous, and your behavior is either strained or
Tx:4.66  which is used only for protection, cannot be wrong because it  never attacks. Yours is so distorted that you believe I was mistaken
Tx:4.77  that in all these diversionary tactics, the one question which is  never asked by those who pursue them is, “What for?”

Tx:5.48  without sharing and for asking pardon without change. The ego  never calls for real Atonement and cannot tolerate forgiveness, which

Tx:5.62 However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind,  never forget that the ego is not sane. It represents a delusional
Tx:5.85  Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy Spirit  never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur under
Tx:5.88  his thought system, the “threat” of fixation remained and could  never be eliminated by any living human being. Essentially, this was
Tx:5.89  creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that you will  never overcome it. The reason is perfectly clear. The fixation is on
Tx:6.11  because I had learned I could not be abandoned. Peter swore he would  never deny me, but he did so three times. He did offer to defend me
Tx:6.14 When you hear only one voice, you are  never called on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves
Tx:6.20  thinking myself. If the Apostles had not felt guilty, they  never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to bring peace but
Tx:6.34  God. He tells you to return your whole mind to God, because it has  never left Him. If it has never left Him, you need only perceive it
Tx:6.34  your whole mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has  never left Him, you need only perceive it as it is to be returned.
Tx:6.34  of the Atonement, then, is the recognition that the separation  never occurred. The ego cannot prevail against this because it is an
Tx:6.34  against this because it is an explicit statement that the ego  never occurred.
Tx:6.35  Holy Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what  never happened cannot involve any problem. It does not follow,
Tx:6.40  no barrier at all to the communication of God. Thus, being is  never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego
Tx:6.40  of God. Thus, being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can  never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be part of it, but
Tx:6.40  is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego  never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you can
Tx:6.40  Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and  never will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach
Tx:6.41  so will you learn.” If that is true, and it is true indeed, you must  never forget that what you teach is teaching you. What you project
Tx:6.46  raised the first question that was ever asked, but one which it can  never answer. That question, “What are you?” was the beginning of
Tx:6.47 The ego has  never answered any questions since, although it has raised a great
Tx:6.47  raised a great many. The most inventive activities of the ego have  never done more than obscure the question, because you have the
Tx:6.51  certain. There is no doubt there because the first question was  never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has never been.
Tx:6.51  was never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has  never been. Being alone lives in the Kingdom, where everything lives
Tx:6.53  it. You have a model to follow who will strengthen your command and  never detract from it in any way. You therefore retain the central
Tx:6.55 That is why the Holy Spirit  never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the Holy

Tx:6.66  The Holy Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. He  never takes anything back, because He wants you to keep it.
Tx:6.83  vary, and that is why it promotes different moods. The Holy Spirit  never varies on this point, and so the one mood He engenders is joy.
Tx:7.8  it or Who He is. God does not reveal this to you, because it was  never hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His Will to
Tx:7.8  not reveal this to you, because it was never hidden. His light was  never obscured, because it is His Will to share it. How can what is
Tx:7.15  translator, although he must alter the form of what he translates,  never changes the meaning. In fact, his whole purpose is to change
Tx:7.30  reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the Holy Spirit  never questions. His sole function is to undo the questionable and
Tx:7.36  as the Holy Spirit's, and it is because of this that their goals can  never be reconciled in any way or to any extent. The ego always seeks
Tx:7.45  not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing  never does. Fear produces dissociation, because it induces
Tx:7.48  the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that  never changes His Mind. He himself must think he can, or he would not
Tx:7.49  better, 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,
Tx:7.54  it that you will not attribute to all of it. That is why attack is  never discrete and why attack must be relinquished entirely. If it is
Tx:7.56  and this must be a source of extreme anxiety. That is why the ego  never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly
Tx:7.61  peace. It is necessary against beliefs which are not true and would  never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you had not
Tx:7.71  all of it. Mind is too powerful to be subject to exclusion. You will  never be able to exclude yourself from what you project.
Tx:7.78 Attack could  never promote attack unless you perceived it as a means of depriving
Tx:7.87  belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in identification which  never had a consistent model and never developed consistently. It is
Tx:7.87  a confusion in identification which never had a consistent model and  never developed consistently. It is the distorted product of the
Tx:7.97 Be confident that you have  never lost your identity and the extensions which maintain it in
Tx:7.103  decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit  never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you are
Tx:8.9  to whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The ego has  never given you a sensible answer to anything. Simply on the grounds
Tx:8.10  will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is  never God who coerces you because He shares His Will with you. His
Tx:8.19  treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself.  Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose sight of
Tx:8.21  imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so will you.  Never forget your responsibility to him, because it is your
Tx:8.41  can obscure the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us.  Never accord the ego the power to interfere with the journey because
Tx:8.41  for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My will will  never be wanting, and if you want to share it you will. I give it
Tx:8.48  choose. This choice does make the Son's function unknown to him, but  never to his Creator. And because it is not unknown to his Creator,
Tx:8.51  you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has  never changed. Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described,
Tx:8.60  why the world is depressing. The Holy Spirit's curriculum is  never depressing, because it is a curriculum of joy. Whenever the

Tx:8.78  without violating your will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free but  never to command.

Tx:8.96  teacher 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
Tx:8.98  do not want, you are asking for what cannot be given, because it was  never created. It was never created, because it was never your will
Tx:8.98  for what cannot be given, because it was never created. It was  never created, because it was never your will for you.

Tx:8.103  devotion be? If you do not want it, it was never created. If it was  never created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to

Tx:9.41  of you really is. He is not deceived by anything you do, because He  never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do,
Tx:9.54  Yet it must be insane because it is not true. Your grandeur will  never deceive you, but your illusions always will. Illusions are
Tx:9.63  changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. God will  never decide against you, or He would be deciding against Himself.
Tx:9.77  minds which are too divided to know that creation shares power and  never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the belief that
Tx:9.89  are endowing them with chaos and accepting it of them. All this has  never been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and
Tx:9.92  are obscured. Yet God has kept the spark alive so that the rays can  never be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you
Tx:9.93  of the god of sickness are strange and very demanding. Joy is  never permitted, for depression is the sign of allegiance to him.
Tx:9.96  If you were, what you have made would be true, and you could  never escape.
Tx:9.100  of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you will know that He has  never ceased to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you
Tx:9.102  you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God will  never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to love
Tx:9.102  insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will  never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's
Tx:10.2  It sounds insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego  never looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is its
Tx:10.15  Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but  never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His Will
Tx:10.21 You will  never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for only in
Tx:10.23  you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you did you could  never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could
Tx:10.23  never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could  never suffer in any way, for that is not God's Will for His Son. Pain
Tx:10.27  to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him. You will  never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but
Tx:10.28  is not in them. Do not be deceived by the dark comforters, and  never let them enter the Mind of God's Son, for they have no place in
Tx:10.31  Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is
Tx:10.32  has denied him? God's laws hold only for your protection, and they  never hold in vain. What you experience when you deny your Father is
Tx:10.53  characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything.  Never forget that the ego believes that power, understanding, and
Tx:10.71 The ego sees some good but  never only good. That is why its perceptions are so variable. It does
Tx:11.2  analysis of ego-motivation is very complicated, very obscuring, and  never without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The whole process
Tx:11.26  poverty as yours. If you had not invested as they had, it would  never occur to you to overlook their need.
Tx:11.27  He is asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the ego and  never of God. No “outrageous” request can be made of one who
Tx:11.28  the “what” and the “how” of salvation, and this is the only answer.  Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe even
Tx:11.28  and this is the only answer. Never lose sight of this, and  never allow yourself to believe even for an instant that there is
Tx:11.36  that love is dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. It  never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that
Tx:11.39  and the goal He sets before you He will give you. For He will  never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the Father.
Tx:11.45 You will  never realize the utter uselessness of attack except by recognizing
Tx:11.45  For you are always the first point of your attack, and if this has  never been, it has no consequences.
Tx:11.54  you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. For the Father  never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind
Tx:11.54  worth. For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He  never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in your memory
Tx:11.58  And then the real world will spring to your sight, for Christ has  never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of
Tx:11.58  for Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has  never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He
Tx:11.74  of death as God knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty  never leaves the ego's mind, for that is what it always reserves for
Tx:11.76  also given it to you? When you learn to make me manifest, you will  never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in
Tx:11.77  you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you will  never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it except
Tx:11.80 Because of your Father's love you can  never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself placed in
Tx:11.82 Everything you made has  never been and is invisible because the Holy Spirit does not see it.
Tx:11.83  could you find? The unreal world is a thing of despair, for it can  never be. And you who share God's Being with Him could never be
Tx:11.83  for it can never be. And you who share God's Being with Him could  never be content without reality. What God did not give you has no
Tx:11.84  for only perception is capable of error, and perception has  never been. Being corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is
Tx:11.84  the only reality. The Atonement is but the way back to what was  never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His Son.
Tx:11.88  he has given only love. He cannot be condemned because he has  never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for
Tx:11.88  is the final lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that,  never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.
Tx:11.90  it dear. For the blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the ego  never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and
Tx:11.90  blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the ego never was and can  never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without
Tx:11.92  cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees will  never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit
Tx:11.97  is, for by accepting your guiltlessness, you learn that the past has  never been, and so the future is needless. The future, in time, is
Tx:11.97  way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has  never condemned His Son, and being guiltless, he is eternal.
Tx:11.99  Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it has  never been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this
Tx:12.9  immortal. And you will see that you were redeemed with him and have  never been separated from him. In this understanding lies your
Tx:12.34  that private worlds do differ. Yet the figures that he sees were  never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his
Tx:12.39  you have offered yourself is not true, but His offering to you has  never changed. You who know not what you do can learn what insanity
Tx:12.53  will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. For it can  never be that His Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His
Tx:12.57  Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. So he has  never ceased to be his Father's witness and his own. Although he
Tx:12.57  that he can call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he  never slept.
Tx:12.61  it has disappointed you since time began. The homes you built have  never sheltered you. The roads you made have led you nowhere, and no
Tx:12.65  love surrounds him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can  never be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him
Tx:12.71  them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it  never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt
Tx:13.2  be yours, for in you is all knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is  never complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as
Tx:13.10  know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God will open them. For  never would He leave His own beloved Son outside them and beyond
Tx:13.25  within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt will  never come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you
Tx:13.34  the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness, will  never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience will be
Tx:13.34  Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will  never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand before
Tx:13.46  for you and by you in return. For how can you remember what was  never true or not remember what has always been? It is this
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
Tx:13.54  so confused you that you have undertaken to learn to do what you can  never do, believing that unless you learn it, you will not be happy.
Tx:13.60  seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will  never learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has
Tx:13.64  about learning. This is so essential to learning that it should  never be forgotten. The guiltless learner learns so easily because
Tx:13.75 It will  never happen that you will have to make decisions for yourself. You
Tx:13.75  He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He will  never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of God.
Tx:13.79  out of insanity. Madness may be your choice, but not your reality.  Never forget the love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He will  never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust Him to
Tx:14.4  exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of God has  never been. Communication with God is life. Nothing without it is at
Tx:14.8  Bring innocence to light in answer to the call of the Atonement.  Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils
Tx:14.37  joins Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him can  never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of creation and
Tx:14.38  between what always was and now. The past which you remember  never was and represents only the denial of what always was.
Tx:14.49  but seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing pattern which  never rests and is never still. It shifts unceasingly across the
Tx:14.49  The result is a weaving, changing pattern which never rests and is  never still. It shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your mind,
Tx:14.62  exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you.  Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means
Tx:14.69  to light, having accepted them instead of you and recognized they  never were. There are no dark lessons He has not already lightened
Tx:14.71  have always created like your Father. The miracle of creation has  never ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is
Tx:14.72  test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and  never can be found alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is
Tx:14.74  you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of peace will  never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will never reciprocate,
Tx:14.74  of peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will  never reciprocate, for His faith in you is His understanding. It is
Tx:15.4  seen this strange paradox in the ego's thought system before, but  never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep fear from you
Tx:15.13 You will  never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your
Tx:15.15  what time is for. Holiness lies not in time but in eternity. There  never was an instant in which God's Son could lose his purity. His
Tx:15.21  of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will  never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe
Tx:15.22  but be sure you understand what littleness is and why you could  never be content with it. Littleness is the offering you gave
Tx:15.50  both. Yet you had judged against yourself first, or you would  never have imagined that you needed them as they were not. Unless you
Tx:15.73  wounding them, perhaps in little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet  never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the
Tx:15.80  seek 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
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what will  never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of God's
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what will never leave you and what you can  never leave. The loneliness of God's Son is the loneliness of his
Tx:15.87  by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This will  never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the ego,
Tx:15.97  be yours. While it is obvious that the ego does demand payment, it  never seems to be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to
Tx:15.97  treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The ego will  never let you perceive this, since this recognition would make it
Tx:16.2  and in certain people. These it selects out and joins with. And it  never joins except to strengthen itself. [Having identified with what
Tx:16.5  know. You are not sure that He will do His part because you have  never yet done yours completely. You will not know how to respond to
Tx:16.6  He the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this will  never bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His
Tx:16.16  acknowledge Him is to deny all that you think you know. But it was  never true. What gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying
Tx:16.16  little while. The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard.  Never again will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.19  and will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have  never given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you,
Tx:16.19  Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You have  never tried to solve anything yourself and been successful. Is it not

Tx:16.31  translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of love will  never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side,
Tx:16.33  not love but hate. For hate is an illusion, and what can change was  never love. It is certain that those who select certain ones as
Tx:16.35  that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will  never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality.
Tx:16.37  the acceptance of the oneness of creation, without which you could  never be complete. No specialness can offer you what God has given
Tx:16.40  wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has  never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your completion lies the
Tx:16.46  believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would  never have you see that separation can only be loss, being the one
Tx:16.53  his death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is  never completed nor ever will be completed. For the ritual of
Tx:16.54  expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and there will  never be. The special relationship must be recognized for what it is
Tx:16.74  of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which the ego  never allows to reach awareness is that the special relationship is
Tx:17.8  and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you and will  never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection.
Tx:17.25  or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you can  never choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but
Tx:17.30  relationship with God restored to you. The relationship with Him has  never been broken because the Holy Spirit has not been separate from
Tx:17.43  is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy instant  never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet without
Tx:17.45  the unholy relationship has accepted the goal of holiness, it can  never again be what it was.
Tx:17.51  you have chosen but the goal of God from which your true intent was  never absent.
Tx:17.66  that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness brought to faith will  never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against truth will
Tx:17.71  you were. Yet you are as innocent of what you were as he is. What  never was is causeless and is not there to interfere with truth.
Tx:17.77  else, believing that the “something else” produced it. This was  never true. For what the “something else” produced was sorrow and
Tx:17.79  has not changed and will not change, for you accepted what can  never change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can

Tx:18.8  calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God you  never left and Who never left you. The Holy Spirit takes you gently
Tx:18.8  where in holy stillness dwells the living God you never left and Who  never left you. The Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand and
Tx:18.10  are so firmly joined in truth that only God is there. And He would  never accept something else instead of you. He loves you both,
Tx:18.23  with the Will of God. And what this will would have accomplished has  never not been done.
Tx:18.34 Humility will  never ask that you remain content with littleness. But it does
Tx:18.40  but has already happened. And that is why the past has gone. It  never happened in reality. Only in your minds, which thought it did,
Tx:18.41 Prepare you not for the undoing of what  never was. If you already understood the difference between truth and
Tx:18.42  Never approach the holy instant after you have tried to remove all
Tx:18.42  to remove all fear and hatred from your mind. That is its function.  Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's
Tx:18.46  this instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He will  never fail in this. But forget not that your relationship is one, and
Tx:18.46  of you to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone.  Never believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as
Tx:18.51  it can make fantasies and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is  never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind
Tx:18.64  really trying to make still more, but there is one thing you have  never done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the body.
Tx:18.64  of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the body again, but  never quite the same. And every instant that you spend without
Tx:18.65  the body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but  never experienced just now. Only its past and future make it seem
Tx:18.65  and future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is  never present. In any single instant, the attraction of guilt would
Tx:18.88  must always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes will  never look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates.
Tx:18.96  that is what needs to be undone. Love is not learned because there  never was a time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the
Tx:19.1  be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith will  never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only
Tx:19.3  acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has  never said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by insanity.
Tx:19.8  separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is  never separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the
Tx:19.40  its tranquil dwelling-place from which it gently reaches out but  never leaving you. If you would make it homeless, how can it abide
Tx:19.48  See but how easily this little wisp is lifted up and carried away,  never to return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For 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 love to look upon
Tx:19.65  of your forgiveness, he will remember who he is and forget what  never was. I ask for your forgiveness, for if you are guilty, so must
Tx:19.70  that lies in it will come with it, and what you think you are can  never be apart from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of
Tx:19.92  is but the solemn vow, the promise made in secret to the ego  never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor even to suspect that
Tx:19.92  the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your promise  never to allow union to call you out of separation; the great amnesia
Tx:19.93  friends. For in your secret alliance with them, you have agreed  never to let the fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the
Tx:19.94  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 lost forever as
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
Tx:20.12  in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was  never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not in fear, but
Tx:20.37  and finding what was lost. Only in time can anything be lost, and  never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in
Tx:20.39  cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you will  never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be given
Tx:20.40  is of those who do not see. Vision or judgment is your choice, but  never both of these.
Tx:20.42 You look upon each holy instant as a different point in time. It  never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right
Tx:20.47 Idols accept, but  never make return. They can be loved, but cannot love. They do not
Tx:20.49  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 home the
Tx:20.50 You cannot make 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
Tx:20.63  Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions  never brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here in
Tx:20.67  which you closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what was  never lost will quietly return. It has been saved for you. Vision
Tx:20.72  will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you will  never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation, will
Tx:20.74  purpose is no longer held, they disappear. Therefore, the question  never is whether you want them, but always, do you want the purpose
Tx:20.77  life-giving water running happily beside them in dancing brooks that  never waste away, who need persuade you to accept the gift of vision?
Tx:20.77  just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And  never need you think that there is something else for you to see.
Tx:21.3  Never forget the world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what
Tx:21.18  now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes with it.  Never was so much given for so little. In the holy instant is this
Tx:21.28  you are independent of the Source by which you were created and have  never left.
Tx:21.30  the persistence that faith inevitably brings. The power of faith is  never recognized if it is placed in sin. But it is always recognized
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit will  never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this
Tx:21.43  looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego  never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's whole
Tx:21.49  belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and  never to reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which
Tx:21.49  in which awareness of reality is possible or those where it could  never be.
Tx:21.50  you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But  never believe because it is your faith it makes reality.
Tx:21.54 God's plan is simple— never circular and never self-defeating. He has no Thoughts except
Tx:21.54 God's plan is simple—never circular and  never self-defeating. He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending,
Tx:21.56  in insanity, for it depends entirely on reason's absence. The ego  never uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The
Tx:21.58  have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego will  never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must have
Tx:21.64  sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can  never be corrected. You tell him by your choice that he is damned—
Tx:21.72  be disbanded in the presence of strength. Those who are strong are  never treacherous because they have no need to dream of power and to
Tx:21.73  enemy. Yes, it can overrun the world and seek an enemy. But it can  never find what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy,
Tx:21.73  even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find another and  never comes to rest in victory. And as it runs, it turns against
Tx:21.88  is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself will  never fail to answer. God has already given him all that he really
Tx:21.90  now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what will  never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the
Tx:22.1  look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could  never see it in the same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual
Tx:22.4  the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can  never end.
Tx:22.7  no messages at all you understand. For you have listened to what can  never communicate at all. Think, then, what happened. Denying what
Tx:22.12  he knows because you knew it. He could not come to anyone but you,  never to “something else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone,
Tx:22.12  to “something else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone, for  never could He find a home in separate ones. Yet must He be reborn
Tx:22.34 These eyes, made not to see, will  never see. For the idea they represent left not its maker, and it is
Tx:22.63  if only the different can attack. Either could be maintained, but  never both. The only question to be answered to decide which must be
Tx:23.8  be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with this belief, but  never will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness
Tx:23.11  are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can  never be forgotten by itself, and you have not forgotten what you
Tx:23.15  as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here will the Father  never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and drive
Tx:23.16  Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can  never be disturbed.
Tx:23.19 The “laws” of chaos can be brought to light, though  never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful and therefore
Tx:23.23  between the Father and the Son. Now it appears that they can  never be one again. For one must always be condemned and by the
Tx:23.27  loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can  never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead
Tx:23.29  most treacherous and cunning enemy? It must be what you want but  never found. And now you “understand” the reason why you found it
Tx:23.31  Never is your possession made complete. And never will your brother
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made complete. And  never will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole.
Tx:23.36  them for the form they take and do not recognize the content. It  never changes. Can you paint rosy lips upon a skeleton, dress it in
Tx:23.37  eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is  never true.

Tx:23.48  what it creates? And can it offer its creations all that it is and  never suffer loss?
Tx:23.51  clash of forms is meaningless. And it is over when you realize it  never was begun. How can a battle be perceived as nothingness when
Tx:23.55 Those with the strength of God in their awareness could  never think of battle. What could they gain but loss of their
Tx:24.4 Beliefs will  never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are
Tx:24.4  to war in secret, where the results of conflict are kept unknown and  never brought to reason to be considered sensible or not. And many
Tx:24.8  in specialness; his friend in a shared purpose. Specialness can  never share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he
Tx:24.8  share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he must  never reach them, or your goal is jeopardized. Can love have meaning
Tx:24.11  wage against him. Here must he be your enemy and not your friend.  Never can there be peace among the different. He is your friend
Tx:24.14  like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are many,  never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a
Tx:24.16 You can defend your specialness, but  never will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a
Tx:24.17  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 sacrifice to give up
Tx:24.22  both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could  never be divided and kept separate from what it is and must forever
Tx:24.28  you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on nothing  never can be stable. However large and overblown it seems to be, it
Tx:24.29  that is what it is—a secret vow that what God wants for you will  never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it
Tx:24.47  completion is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His Son could  never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a brother unto
Tx:24.49  be sure 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
Tx:24.56  is given you to take from him that both may end a journey that has  never been begun and needs no end. What never was is not a part of
Tx:24.56  may end a journey that has never been begun and needs no end. What  never was is not a part of you. Yet you will think it is until you
Tx:24.58  you a part of Him to save from pain and give you happiness. And  never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the Will
Tx:24.59  fully justified, you have pursued this goal with vigilance you  never thought to yield and effort that you never thought to cease.
Tx:24.59  goal with vigilance you never thought to yield and effort that you  never thought to cease. And all this grim determination was for this
Tx:25.6  have you be. And always is it faithful to your purpose from which it  never separates nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the
Tx:25.6  a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are  never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart
Tx:25.8  as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father  never have been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding
Tx:25.10  as one is meaningless. It is apparent that a mind so split could  never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all things within
Tx:25.14  on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has  never brought before?
Tx:25.21  from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have  never sinned. Give then what He has given you that you may see His
Tx:25.22  darkness into light be yours to share; that you may see as one what  never has been separate nor apart from all God's love as given
Tx:25.27  elsewhere from their home, as if they lit a place where they could  never be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the world correct
Tx:25.30  it must have been an error, not a sin. For what it claimed could  never be has been. Sin is attacked by punishment and so preserved.
Tx:25.31 The Son of God could  never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the
Tx:25.35  And from you will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can  never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to
Tx:25.68  the chill of fear comes over them when they are told that they have  never sinned. Their world depends on sin's stability. And they
Tx:25.77  what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and  never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive yourself of what
Tx:25.85  denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A miracle can  never be received because another could receive it not. Only
Tx:26.2  built a wall so seeming solid that it looks as if what is inside can  never reach without, and what is out can never reach and join with
Tx:26.2  as if what is inside can never reach without, and what is out can  never reach and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each
Tx:26.8  he make, and only one was given him by One Who knows His gifts can  never suffer sacrifice and loss. God's justice rests in gentleness
Tx:26.22  short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. Heaven was  never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between
Tx:26.24  as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was  never true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be true?
Tx:26.30  you can take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For  never will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but
Tx:26.40  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 present,
Tx:26.59  be beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept apart can  never join.
Tx:26.60  law—that each idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance,  never takes away. This is as true of what is idly wished as what is
Tx:26.60  their source is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For  never will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of God.
Tx:26.61  effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's Son could  never be content with less than full salvation and escape from guilt.
Tx:26.77  joined! However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And  never will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen
Tx:26.80  tens of thousands? When They come, time's purpose is fulfilled. What  never was passes to nothingness when They have come. What hatred
Tx:26.84  by Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him,  never separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at
Tx:27.1  Who can combine the wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can  never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you will fear no evil and no
Tx:27.4  you send lest he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he  never will escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it
Tx:27.5  Yet this one has not been used for purpose of attack and therefore  never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal truth that
Tx:27.6  the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the proof that he has  never sinned—that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever
Tx:27.9  whose consequences still are there to see, so that the cause can  never be denied.
Tx:27.10  see yourself a picture of the proof that what your function is can  never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into
Tx:27.17 Your body can be means to teach that it has  never suffered pain because of him. And in its healing can it offer
Tx:27.17  what he did not do. And so is he convinced his innocence was  never lost and healed along with you.
Tx:27.18 Thus does the miracle undo all things the world attests can  never be undone. And hopelessness and death must disappear before the
Tx:27.22  No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to forgive and  never to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the same, and
Tx:27.26  be a part of you while this perception lasts. What is condemned can  never be returned to its accuser, who hated it and hates it still.
Tx:27.31  The picture of your brother that you see is wholly absent and has  never been. Let then the empty space it occupies be recognized as
Tx:27.35  is no choice of function anywhere. The choice you fear to lose you  never had. Yet only this appears to interfere with power unlimited
Tx:27.51  manner in accord with laws which have been properly perceived but  never violated. Fear you not the way that you perceive them. You are
Tx:27.71 An honest choice could  never be perceived as one in which the choice is split between a tiny
Tx:27.79  of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will  never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many
Tx:27.81  there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and could  never have conceived this world as real. He would have seen at once
Tx:27.84  device to keep your innocence by pushing guilt outside yourself but  never letting go! It is not easy to perceive the jest when all around
Tx:28.8  forget. It is not past because He let It not be unremembered. It has  never changed because there never was a time in which He did not keep
Tx:28.8  He let It not be unremembered. It has never changed because there  never was a time in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its
Tx:28.8  because you thought that you remembered not their Cause. Yet was It  never absent from your mind, for it was not your Father's Will that
Tx:28.9 What you remember  never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with cause.
Tx:28.9  you have remembered consequences which were causeless and could  never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present,
Tx:28.9  forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference— never changed from what It is. And you are Its effects, as changeless
Tx:28.10  a judgment on His Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have they  never been denied. There was no time in which His Son could be
Tx:28.14  at all. He has done nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he  never had a need for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its
Tx:28.14  this, he understands he never had a need for doing anything and  never did. His Cause is Its effects. There never was a cause beside
Tx:28.14  for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects. There  never was a cause beside It that could generate a different past or
Tx:28.15  forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he can  never reach. His Father wills that he be lifted up and gently carried
Tx:28.21  if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but  never will you give it real effects. For that would change its cause,
Tx:28.22  cause without the consequences which would make it cause. And so it  never was.
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 holds the
Tx:28.35  dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you  never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you
Tx:28.35  miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what  never was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome for
Tx:28.38  is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but  never with the dream. It is the dream you fear and not the mind. You
Tx:28.47  in. God is the alternate to dreams of fear. Who shares in them can  never share in Him. But who withdraws his mind from sharing them is
Tx:28.55  you give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want but  never makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It can but
Tx:28.59  of Me and I of you forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can  never be apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied “I
Tx:28.64 But  never you alone. This world is but the dream that you can be alone
Tx:29.2  For love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can  never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of love and therefore
Tx:29.26  without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant form. But  never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material of dreams
Tx:29.29  no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives is  never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to change, but what
Tx:29.39  Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can  never change by what men made of him. He will be as he was and as he
Tx:29.43  excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls will  never answer in His place. There is no other answer you can
Tx:29.52  idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and  never seen for what they really are. That is the only power which
Tx:29.52  he may be replaced, no matter what their form. And it is this which  never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a place,
Tx:29.60  tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven can you  never have. If Heaven is within, why would you seek for idols which
Tx:29.60  of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than God. But you will  never be content with being less.
Tx:29.68  Heaven 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.
Tx:29.68  the Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he  never heard it not. And where is time, when dreams of judgment have
Tx:30.34  what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would  never lose your will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now
Tx:30.39  within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could  never be your will because what shares in all creation cannot be
Tx:30.41 It  never is the idol that you want. But what you think it offers you,
Tx:30.47  of 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
Tx:30.48  Mind of God, but from your own. The star shines still; the sky has  never changed. But you, the holy Son of God Himself, are unaware of
Tx:30.49  defensiveness entirely and rush to its embrace. The truth could  never be attacked. And this you knew when you made idols. They were
Tx:30.49  made that this might be forgotten. You attack but false ideas and  never truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you made to fill
Tx:30.51  forms. And each one seems to break the rules you set for it. It  never was the thing you thought. It must appear to break your rules
Tx:30.52  are but toys, my children. Do not grieve for them. Their dancing  never brought you joy. But neither were they things to frighten you
Tx:30.55  you are asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you  never were and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes
Tx:30.62  be given back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was  never there. And what the Son of God knew in creation, he must know
Tx:30.65  wanted in your hearts. Give up the world! But not to sacrifice. You  never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here that did not
Tx:30.67 There  never was a time an idol brought you anything except the “gift” of
Tx:30.70 Anger is  never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from
Tx:30.84  make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. Fear is a judgment  never justified. Its presence has no meaning but to show you wrote a
Tx:30.90  because it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it was  never real and could not stem from his reality. For that is
Tx:31.1 How simple is salvation! All it says is what was  never true is not true now and never will be. The impossible has not
Tx:31.1  is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now and  never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no
Tx:31.8  you in soft appeal to be your friend and let it join with you. And  never does a call remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered
Tx:31.22  of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that  never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to
Tx:31.22  but come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were  never true.
Tx:31.26  of happiness is shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You  never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever
Tx:31.27  what you are? If you did not believe that you deserved attack, it  never would occur to you to give attack to anyone at all. Why should
Tx:31.29  causes change. And so the body, where no learning can occur, could  never change unless the mind preferred the body change in its
Tx:31.31  you to change what you believe. The body will but follow. It can  never lead you where you would not be. It does not guard your sleep
Tx:31.41  from what you are will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet has He  never left His Thoughts to die, without their Source forever in
Tx:31.45  world accords to those who would be generous and good. This aspect  never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little things
Tx:31.50  of yourself, that you will choose to follow this world's laws and  never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see
Tx:31.62  are, as flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you  never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen
Tx:31.64  salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes could  never find. Be not concerned how this could ever be. You do not
Tx:31.67  think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can  never change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure
Tx:31.70  it is thus you see him more than just a body, for the good is  never what the body seems to be. The actions of the body are
Tx:31.71  For both are concepts of yourself which can be interchanged, but  never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for
Tx:31.86  in you. And what you choose is what you think is real. Simply by  never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no
Tx:31.88  make can not prevail against what God Himself would have you be. Be  never fearful of temptation then, but see it as it is—another
Tx:31.91  all your weakness with the strength that comes from God and that can  never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony
W1:7.6 It is the reason why you are  never upset for the reason you think.
W1:16.3 In addition to  never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every
W1:18.1  in learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are  never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the idea that minds
W1:19.1  and its results are really simultaneous, for cause and effect are  never separate.
W1:30.1  up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have  never seen before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly
W1:41.3 You can  never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes
W1:41.3  holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can  never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you
W1:41.3  because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can  never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever
W1:41.7  in connection with this kind of practice as we go along. But it will  never fail completely, and instant success is possible.
W1:43.2  and does not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what  never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God
W1:46.1 God does not forgive because He has  never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is
W1:51.6 [5] I am  never upset for the reason I think. I am never upset for the reason I
W1:51.6 [5] I am never upset for the reason I think. I am  never upset for the reason I think because I am constantly trying to
W1:52.2 [6] I am upset because I see what is not there. Reality is  never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality
W1:60.2  is the Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive, because He has  never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, and those who have
W1:68.5  feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there will  never be a problem in motivation ever again.
W1:70.12  before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have  never found anything in the cloud patterns you imagined that endured
W1:75.7  have forgiven the world today. You can look upon it now as if you  never saw it before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You
W1:75.9  forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit  never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He
W1:76.2  it. For if you could, you would forever seek where it is not and  never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is
W1:76.7 The laws of God can  never be replaced. We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so.
W1:76.10  nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and  never take.
W1:77.3  You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you and can  never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth.
W1:77.4  for what is rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that miracles are  never taken from one and given to another and that in asking for your
W1:86.2  for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can  never fail.
W1:93.4  overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was  never done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure
W1:94.5 Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that  never sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self
W1:94.5  sinned 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
W1:96.1  and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will  never be compatible. But one exists.
W1:96.3  and good and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can  never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be
W1:99.1  resulting in a state of conflict now between what is and what could  never be.
W1:99.2  can escape illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was  never done.
W1:99.4  of pain? What but a thought of God could be this plan by which the  never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were never real?
W1:99.4  by which the never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were  never real?
W1:99.9  the darkened places of your mind which thought the thoughts that  never were His Will.
W1:100.8  that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's plan and  never lose or sacrifice or die.
W1:101.3  salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can  never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it
W1:101.5  sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will  never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open mind
W1:105.4  will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will  never lessen when they are given away. They but increase thereby. As
W1:109.5  while time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can  never change in any way at all.
W1:121.6  Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self and Who can  never sin.
W1:121.11  perceive some light in him somewhere—a little gleam which you had  never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining
W1:122.1  Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that  never can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it
W1:122.1  can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can  never be upset?
W1:122.4  be sought? What fancied value, trivial effect, or transient promise  never to be kept can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? Why
W1:122.8  newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can  never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.
W1:125.4  where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and will  never leave.
W1:125.8  In 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  today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have  never left your Self.
W1:127.1  and no distinctions. It is like itself, unchanged throughout. It  never alters with a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of God,
W1:127.9  spared a future like the past. Today we leave the past behind us,  never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes upon a different
W1:129.5  space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward,  never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world
W1:132.19  release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could  never be released alone.
W1:133.7  chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can  never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never
W1:133.7  can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was  never there and makes no offering to him who chooses it. He is
W1:134.11  wakened from his dream by understanding what he thought he saw was  never there. And now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied
W1:135.19  is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would  never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His
W1:136.7  standing for attack upon the whole, successful in effect, and  never to be seen as whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they
W1:136.16 And truth will come, for it has  never been apart from us. It merely waits for just this invitation
W1:137.4  that truth is true. The separation sickness would impose has  never really happened. To be healed is merely to accept what always
W1:137.4  must be shown that what they look upon is false. So healing,  never needed by the truth, must demonstrate that sickness is not real.
W1:137.5  but not in truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that  never were accomplished, healing but removes illusions that have not
W1:137.5  Just as the real world will arise to take the place of what has  never been at all, healing but offers restitution for imagined states
W1:137.10  to all the world when you let healing come to you. But you are  never healed alone. And legions upon legions will receive the gift
W1:137.12  invitation be refused? Ask the inevitable to occur, and you will  never fail. The other choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, and
W1:139.4 Yet he could  never be alive at all unless he knew the answer. If he asks as if he
W1:140.9  We will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can  never be a meaningful distinction made between what is untrue and
W1:151.3  rests upon the witness that your senses offer you. Yet witness  never falser was than this. But how else do you judge the world you
W1:152.14  as we 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
W1:153.6  and your own weakness seen apart from Him. Defenselessness can  never be attacked because it recognizes strength so great attack is
W1:153.18 In time, with practice, you will  never cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding your
W1:153.19  will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and  never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength.
W1:153.21  doubt that you will reach your final goal. The ministers of God can  never fail because the love and strength and peace that shine from
W1:153.21  is all you need to give Him in return. You lay aside but what was  never real to look on Christ and see His sinlessness.
W1:157.9  which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will  never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision
W1:158.9  and all effects they seemed to have are gone with them, undone and  never to be done.
W1:159.3  itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love which  never died but has been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures
W1:159.5  shadows there, transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and  never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has
W1:159.6  already. All can be received but for the asking. Here the door is  never locked, and no one is denied his least request or his most
W1:159.8  home. They can be brought from here back to the world, but they can  never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil. They need the light

Tx:4.104  are often looked down on by the ego because of its belief that  nothing but a perfect body is worthy as its own temple.
Tx:5.9  can bring Him to you only at your own invitation. The Holy Spirit is  nothing more than your own right mind. He was also mine. The Bible
Tx:5.47 The Atonement is the guarantee of the safety of the Kingdom.  Nothing good is lost because it comes from the Holy Spirit, the Voice
Tx:5.47  lost because it comes from the Holy Spirit, the Voice for creation.  Nothing that is not good was ever created and therefore cannot be
Tx:5.53  except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot hurt you and hold  nothing against him, or you hold it against yourself. Teaching is
Tx:5.57  the complete can think completely, and the thinking of God lacks  nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy Spirit is
Tx:5.58  who are so holy suffer? All your past except its beauty is gone, and  nothing is left except a blessing. You can indeed depart in peace,
Tx:5.74  they are based on a complete fallacy which they were made to uphold.  Nothing the ego perceives is interpreted correctly. Not only does it
Tx:6.4  emphasis we laid upon it was that it was not a form of punishment.  Nothing, however, can be really explained in negative terms only.
Tx:6.4  in what it teaches if it is properly understood. The crucifixion is  nothing more than an extreme example. Its value, like the value of
Tx:6.35  and difficult. It is surely clear, however, that the perfect need  nothing and cannot experience perfection as a difficult
Tx:6.37  by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus perceives them as one.  Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the Holy Spirit
Tx:6.40  holds knowledge safe through His impartial perception. By attacking  nothing, He presents no barrier at all to the communication of God.
Tx:6.50  a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him.  Nothing else exists, and only this is real. You have chosen a sleep
Tx:6.50  but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There will be  nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you will be
Tx:6.60  light is always the call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming.  Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the
Tx:6.61  last forever. Many think this is accomplished through death, but  nothing is accomplished through death because death is nothing.
Tx:6.61  death, but nothing is accomplished through death because death is  nothing. Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the
Tx:6.64  be offered to the equal Sons of God, and that is full appreciation.  Nothing more and nothing less. Without a range, an order of
Tx:6.64  equal Sons of God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and  nothing less. Without a range, an order of difficulty is meaningless,
Tx:6.80  order of difficulty in miracles has not yet been accepted, because  nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire wholly is to
Tx:7.6  but it is hard to explain in words because words are symbols, and  nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.7  He does not teach, because His creations are changeless. He does  nothing last, because He created first and for always. It must be
Tx:7.18  direct and perfectly united. It is totally without strain, because  nothing discordant ever enters. That is why it is the Kingdom of God.
Tx:7.18  belongs to Him and is therefore like Him. That is its reality, and  nothing can assail it.
Tx:7.19  it is not true that the table is now minus three apples. If there is  nothing on the table, it does not matter what was there in terms of
Tx:7.30  because they are not in doubt. They do not raise questions, because  nothing questionable enters their minds. This holds them in perfect
Tx:7.32  through prediction, and has no control over them at all. Science is  nothing more than an approach to what already is. Like inspiration it
Tx:7.37  it to you as a gift. You do not want it. It is not a gift. It is  nothing at all. God has given you a gift which you both have and are.

Tx:7.38  But seek this only because you can find nothing else. There is  nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal sense. All being is
Tx:7.39 The body is  nothing more than a framework for developing abilities. It is
Tx:7.42  only strengthens. Magic always tries to weaken. Healing perceives  nothing in the healer that everyone else does not share with him.
Tx:7.51  do not want to share my body in communion, because that is to share  nothing. [Would I try to share an illusion with the most holy
Tx:7.59  mind, it is willing to attach itself to anything else. But there is  nothing else. It does not follow that the mind cannot make illusions,
Tx:7.60  understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation brings love.  Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else is real, and
Tx:7.60  appreciation brings love. Nothing else can be understood, because  nothing else is real, and therefore nothing else has meaning.
Tx:7.60  else can be understood, because nothing else is real, and therefore  nothing else has meaning.
Tx:7.66  do attack. The attack must be blind, however, because there is  nothing to attack. Therefore, they make up images, perceive them as
Tx:7.66  them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of the ego is— nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to
Tx:7.69 Creation, not separation, is your will because it is God's, and  nothing that opposes this means anything at all. Being a perfect
Tx:7.74  you include them in it, you are giving life to them, except there is  nothing there to receive your gift.
Tx:7.75  unaware of your gift, because you do not give it. You cannot make  nothing live since it cannot be enlivened. Therefore, you are not
Tx:7.75  life, since that is not the Will of your Creator. You can do  nothing apart from Him, and you do do nothing apart from Him. Keep
Tx:7.75  of your Creator. You can do nothing apart from Him, and you do do  nothing apart from Him. Keep His way to remember yourselves and teach
Tx:7.100  outcome depends on the willingness to see it, but its truth has  nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will.
Tx:7.101  and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be sacrificing  nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining everything. If you
Tx:7.107  of difficulty in everything. This is because the ego perceives  nothing as wholly desirable. By demonstrating to yourselves that
Tx:7.109  were created for it. God watches over His Children and denies them  nothing. Yet when they deny Him, they do not know this, because they
Tx:7.111  gift in anyone else, you have acknowledged what He has given you.  Nothing is as easy to perceive as truth. This is the perception which
Tx:8.8  the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn  nothing from the ego because the ego knows nothing.
Tx:8.8  you could learn nothing from the ego because the ego knows  nothing.
Tx:8.20  regardless of the teacher you choose, is know thyself. There is  nothing else to learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the
Tx:8.32  Nothing God created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your will, as  nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its power,
Tx:8.33  yours and have not let it be free. Of yourselves you can do  nothing, because of yourselves you are nothing. I am nothing without
Tx:8.33  Of yourselves you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are  nothing. I am nothing without the Father, and you are nothing without
Tx:8.33  you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are nothing. I am  nothing without the Father, and you are nothing without me, because
Tx:8.33  you are nothing. I am nothing without the Father, and you are  nothing without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself.
Tx:8.36  on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on yours. Alone we can do  nothing, but together our wills fuse into something whose power is
Tx:8.39  back to all His Children, because I received it of Him for us all.  Nothing can prevail against our united wills, because nothing can
Tx:8.39  for us all. Nothing can prevail against our united wills, because  nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the Will of God for
Tx:8.39  it of me who knows it for you, and you will find it. I will deny you  nothing, as God denies me nothing.
Tx:8.39  you, and you will find it. I will deny you nothing, as God denies me  nothing.
Tx:8.42  of God for anything the world has to offer. The world can add  nothing to the power and the glory of God and His holy Sons, but it
Tx:8.43  That is not because he is deprived of anything else, but because  nothing else is worthy of him. What God and His Sons create is
Tx:8.44  loving father left his home and thought he squandered everything for  nothing of any value, although he did not know its worthlessness at
Tx:8.44  because only the son himself was his father's treasure. He wanted  nothing else.
Tx:8.48  [because it is] a contradiction in terms which actually leaves  nothing. [You can make yourself powerless only in a way that has no
Tx:8.58 Rejoice, then, that of yourselves you can do  nothing. You are not of yourselves. He of Whom you are has willed
Tx:8.60 There is  nothing so frustrating to a learner as to be placed in a curriculum
Tx:8.65  is to limit your mind and hurt yourself. Health is therefore  nothing more than united purpose. If the body is brought under the
Tx:8.76  sense out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in  nothing. The more complicated the results become, the harder it may
Tx:8.85  heal. But to make mindless is impossible since it would mean to make  nothing out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even
Tx:8.88  cannot do. Given this, and given this quite literally, there can be  nothing which prevents you from doing exactly what I ask, and
Tx:8.96  is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The separation is  nothing more than the belief that it is different.
Tx:8.100  the Holy Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because  nothing can hurt you and so you are asking for nothing. Any desire
Tx:8.100  answer, because nothing can hurt you and so you are asking for  nothing. Any desire which stems from the ego is a desire for nothing
Tx:8.100  for nothing. Any desire which stems from the ego is a desire for  nothing and to ask for it is not a request. It is merely a denial in
Tx:8.103  do not want it, it was never created. If it was never created, it is  nothing. Can you really devote yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.103  was never created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to  nothing?
Tx:8.105 Remember, then, that God's Will is already possible and  nothing else will ever be. This is the simple acceptance of reality,
Tx:8.118  be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He will deny you  nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can share
Tx:8.118  will receive. He will deny you nothing because you have denied Him  nothing, and so you can share everything. This is the way, and the
Tx:9.3  Since He does not understand it, He does not judge it, knowing that  nothing it engenders means anything.
Tx:9.24  verbal accounts, no one can explain what happens in psychotherapy.  Nothing real does. Nothing real has happened to the unhealed healer,
Tx:9.24  no one can explain what happens in psychotherapy. Nothing real does.  Nothing real has happened to the unhealed healer, and he learns from
Tx:9.26 Healing is not mysterious.  Nothing will occur unless you understand it, since light is
Tx:9.29  is a sound, though insufficient, statement. Only the good can work.  Nothing else works at all. This course is a guide to behavior. Being
Tx:9.37  without your creations. Accept your brother in this world and accept  nothing else, for in him you will find your creations, because he
Tx:9.44  merely because He knows its foundation is not true. Therefore,  nothing that arises from it means anything. The Holy Spirit judges
Tx:9.47  and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that  nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want
Tx:9.47  worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want in these terms and accept  nothing that you would not offer to God as wholly fitting for Him,
Tx:9.58  be God's. You did not establish your value, and it needs no defense.  Nothing can attack it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely
Tx:9.59  Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because
Tx:9.59 Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because  nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and
Tx:9.59  You must learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that  nothing in the world can take this responsibility from you. You can
Tx:9.60 God created  nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you are part
Tx:9.60 God created nothing beside you, and  nothing beside you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him
Tx:9.60  you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him can exist?  Nothing beyond Him can happen, because nothing except Him is real.
Tx:9.60  What except Him can exist? Nothing beyond Him can happen, because  nothing except Him is real. Your creations add to Him as you do, but
Tx:9.60  nothing except Him is real. Your creations add to Him as you do, but  nothing is added that is different, because everything has always
Tx:9.61  exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your will?  Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you
Tx:9.68  it. Knowledge therefore precedes dissociation, and dissociation is  nothing more than a decision to forget. What has been forgotten then
Tx:9.69  you are willing to remember Him and know your own reality again. Let  nothing in this world delay your remembering of Him, for in this
Tx:9.70  in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for perception.  Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your will to remember
Tx:9.74  image, although those who make idols do worship them. The idols are  nothing, but their worshipers are the Sons of God in sickness.
Tx:9.81  to replace God. Yet when they seem to speak to you, remember that  nothing can replace God, and whatever replacements you have attempted
Tx:9.81  can replace God, and whatever replacements you have attempted are  nothing.
Tx:9.82  believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really afraid of  nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You will hear the god
Tx:9.83  you. Honor is not due to illusions, for to honor them is to honor  nothing. Yet fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be
Tx:9.83  honor them is to honor nothing. Yet fear is not due them either, for  nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to fear love because of
Tx:9.84  which god is real. Although it is perfectly clear that this has  nothing to do with reality, it is equally clear that it has
Tx:9.89  them with chaos and accepting it of them. All this has never been.  Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His
Tx:9.89  has never been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and  nothing except His Will will ever be. You were created through His
Tx:9.89  hardly want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You will see  nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look beyond it to
Tx:9.90  truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He created  nothing else.
Tx:9.96  Who alone is his help. We said before that of yourselves you can do  nothing, but you are not of yourselves. If you were, what you have
Tx:9.97  is because you did not make yourselves that you need be troubled by  nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not create
Tx:9.97  make yourselves that you need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are  nothing, because your Father did not create them. You cannot make
Tx:10.1  irreconcilable natures cannot be reconciled by your vacillations.  Nothing alive is fatherless, for life is creation. Therefore, your
Tx:10.2  made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is  nothing more than a delusional system in which you made your own
Tx:10.3  and that everything of which you have been afraid was based on  nothing.
Tx:10.7  not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind contain  nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by anyone except
Tx:10.15  it upon you. Always remember that what He gives, He holds, so that  nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His Life must
Tx:10.21  with His gift. Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let  nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will
Tx:10.22  although He cannot help you without your invitation, and the ego is  nothing whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on
Tx:10.26  it is very different. Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows  nothing. That way is hard indeed and very lonely. Fear and grief are
Tx:10.27 God hides  nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the
Tx:10.36  it cannot be shut, and I live forever. God is my life and yours, and  nothing is denied by God to His Son.
Tx:10.40  does not exist. Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what leads to  nothing has not happened. If reality is recognized by its extension,
Tx:10.40  happened. If reality is recognized by its extension, what extends to  nothing cannot be real.
Tx:10.43  that any effort exerted on its behalf is necessarily expended on  nothing. The ego's goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. From the
Tx:10.46  behalf of separation. Believing it has the power to do this, it does  nothing else because its goal of autonomy is nothing else. The ego is
Tx:10.46  to do this, it does nothing else because its goal of autonomy is  nothing else. The ego is totally confused about reality, but it does
Tx:10.57  you remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you will remember Him.  Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for nothing can
Tx:10.57  remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for  nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you see of His Son through
Tx:10.57  God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate  nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They
Tx:10.63  is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection demands  nothing, for He does not will to take away. He does not require
Tx:10.68  their oneness. The whole power of God is in every part of Him, and  nothing contradictory to His Will is either great or small. What does
Tx:10.70  be perceived. All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive  nothing else. For if you perceive both good and evil, you are
Tx:10.74  Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the end, teaches  nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you
Tx:10.76  Instruction in perception is your great need, for you understand  nothing. Recognize this but do not accept it, for understanding is
Tx:10.80  a course in the play of ideas, but in their practical application.  Nothing could be more specific than to be told very clearly that if
Tx:10.80  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; He does
Tx:10.81  The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take  nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you share it
Tx:10.82  the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you.  Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose
Tx:10.83  the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's Sons have  nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any Son of God, and
Tx:10.85  this Help by asking for it, you will give it because you want it.  Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing will be
Tx:10.85  you want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because  nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems will not
Tx:11.4  of it. This is poor reality testing by definition. There is  nothing to prevent you from recognizing all calls for help as exactly
Tx:11.19  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 His
Tx:11.27  It is only you, therefore, who have made the request outrageous, for  nothing can be asked of you, and every request of a brother is for
Tx:11.27  be made of one who recognizes what is valuable and wants to accept  nothing else.
Tx:11.44  have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you will demonstrate that  nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you have not done anything.
Tx:11.52  else will be given you. For it is your will to learn aright, and  nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His learning is as
Tx:11.53  Soul and there is no gain in the world, for of itself it profits  nothing. To invest in something without profit is surely to
Tx:11.53  costs you the world's reality by denying yours and gives you  nothing in return. You cannot sell your Soul, but you can sell your
Tx:11.54 The Holy Spirit is your strength because He perceives  nothing but your Soul as you. He is perfectly aware that you do not
Tx:11.69 When you want only love you will see  nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive
Tx:11.78  fear. His Father's love holds him in perfect peace, and needing  nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he
Tx:11.78  love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for  nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he is, for you chose to
Tx:11.81  of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son of God, be not content with  nothing! What is not real cannot be seen and has no value. God could
Tx:11.82  made the invisible the only truth that this world holds. Valuing  nothing, you have sought nothing and found nothing. By making nothing
Tx:11.82  only truth that this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought  nothing and found nothing. By making nothing real to you, you have
Tx:11.82  this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and found  nothing. By making nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is
Tx:11.82  nothing, you have sought nothing and found nothing. By making  nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is not there. And
Tx:11.82  his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit looks upon him and sees  nothing else in you. What is invisible to you is perfect in His sight
Tx:12.3  lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense that  nothing short of the crucifixion of God's Son can ultimately satisfy
Tx:12.9 Little children, this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is  nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light will
Tx:12.12 Your fear of attack is  nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing to look
Tx:12.21 In peace he needed  nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and
Tx:12.21 In peace he needed nothing and asked for  nothing. In war he demanded everything and found nothing. For how
Tx:12.21  and asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and found  nothing. For how could the gentleness of love respond to his demands
Tx:12.32  future. And time will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is  nothing.
Tx:12.55  you from the world and follow it. For this light will attract you as  nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the world and
Tx:12.59  it. There is no day that brightens and grows dim. There is no loss.  Nothing is there but shines, and shines forever.
Tx:12.61  no city that you built has withstood the crumbling assault of time.  Nothing you made but has the mark of death upon it. Hold it not dear,
Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that  nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh
Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and  nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as safe from pain as God
Tx:12.67  Yet the dreams of love lead unto knowledge. In them you see  nothing fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you
Tx:12.68 Your Father knoweth that you have need of  nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in eternity?
Tx:12.69  For although the ego urges you again and again to get, it leaves you  nothing, for what you get, it will demand of you. And even from the
Tx:12.70  and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will take  nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He knows
Tx:12.71  his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for light needs  nothing but to shine in peace and from itself to let the rays extend
Tx:13.2  and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is  nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore
Tx:13.13 The world can give you only what you gave it, for being  nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from what
Tx:13.15  one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead of love.  Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for punishment upon
Tx:13.28  The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to Himself.  Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His Will is
Tx:13.36  made not freedom, so you made not a war that could endanger freedom.  Nothing destructive ever was or will be. The war, the guilt, the past
Tx:13.37 When we are all united in Heaven, you will value  nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value here you
Tx:13.37  united in Heaven, you will value nothing that you value here. For  nothing that you value here you value wholly, and so you do not value
Tx:13.37  is not to know its value. In Heaven is everything God valued and  nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear
Tx:13.38  Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can give this peace, for  nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely
Tx:13.39  Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail.  Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from
Tx:13.40  in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in  nothing.
Tx:13.41  thing, and it will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and  nothing can keep you from it or it from you. Your wildest
Tx:13.41  your weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean  nothing. They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you.
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always will you  nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no
Tx:13.49  decision not to know. The logic of the world must therefore lead to  nothing, for its goal is nothing.
Tx:13.49  logic of the world must therefore lead to nothing, for its goal is  nothing.
Tx:13.50 If you decide to have and give and be  nothing except a dream, you must direct your thoughts unto oblivion.
Tx:13.51  given up by him, for the Source of their undoing is in him. There is  nothing in the world to teach him that the logic of the world is
Tx:13.51  teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and leads to  nothing. Yet in him who made this insane logic, there is One Who
Tx:13.51  him who made this insane logic, there is One Who knows it leads to  nothing, for He knows everything.
Tx:13.53  become so twisted and so complex that you cannot see that it means  nothing. He merely looks at its foundation and dismisses it. But you,
Tx:13.54  on which this most peculiar learning goal depends means absolutely  nothing. It does make sense to you.
Tx:13.55 Have faith in  nothing, and you will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you
Tx:13.55  burdened or you would not have sought another. You will believe that  nothing is of value and will value it. A little piece of glass, a
Tx:13.55  a body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing made of  nothing, you have believed that nothing can be precious and that you
Tx:13.55  For if you value one thing made of nothing, you have believed that  nothing can be precious and that you can learn how to make the untrue
Tx:13.56  for twisted minds. Consider all the distortions you have made of  nothing—all the strange forms and feelings and actions and
Tx:13.56  feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven out of it.  Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and nothing are you
Tx:13.56  woven out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and  nothing are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what
Tx:13.57  are not apparent to those who would make palaces and royal robes of  nothing, believing they are kings with golden crowns because of them.
Tx:13.57  is not true. To these unhappy learners who would teach themselves  nothing and delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing,
Tx:13.57  nothing and delude themselves into believing that it is not  nothing, the Holy Spirit says, with steadfast quietness:
Tx:13.58 The truth is true.  Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything beside it
Tx:13.58 The truth is true. Nothing else matters,  nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there. Let Me
Tx:13.58  for you which you cannot make but need to learn. Your faith in  nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it
Tx:13.59  which this light brings to them because it teaches them release from  nothing and from all the works of nothing. The heavy chains which
Tx:13.59  it teaches them release from nothing and from all the works of  nothing. The heavy chains which seem to bind them unto despair they
Tx:13.59  heavy chains which seem to bind them unto despair they do not see as  nothing until you bring the light to them. And then they see the
Tx:13.59  they see the chains have disappeared, and so they must have been  nothing. And you will see it with them. Because you taught them
Tx:13.60  Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make  nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and
Tx:13.60  simple honesty, it is undone. We said before, “Be not content with  nothing,” for you have believed that nothing could content you. It is
Tx:13.60  before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have believed that  nothing could content you. It is not so.
Tx:13.62  dark door which you believe is locked forever. You made this door of  nothing and behind it is nothing. The key is only the light which
Tx:13.62  is locked forever. You made this door of nothing and behind it is  nothing. The key is only the light which shines away the shapes and
Tx:13.62  only the light which shines away the shapes and forms and fears of  nothing. Accept this key to freedom from the hands of Christ Who
Tx:13.63  will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is  nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is in Him with
Tx:13.67 What I experience, I will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have  nothing to fear. I choose to testify to my acceptance of the
Tx:13.70  to free his brother and enter light with him. By giving power to  nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing
Tx:13.70  power to nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that  nothing has no power. And by not dispelling darkness, he became
Tx:13.71  belief that you can be harmed shows him he is guiltless. He can do  nothing that can hurt you, and by refusing to allow him to think he
Tx:13.71  which you have accepted for yourself, is also his. There is  nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is
Tx:13.72  of God as yours. The power that God has given to His Son is his, and  nothing else can His Son see or choose to look upon without imposing
Tx:13.74  need, coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is  nothing their wills will not provide that offers them anything of
Tx:13.76  of yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value of His Son?  Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of
Tx:13.86  even as God gave it first to His Son. The first in time means  nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both
Tx:13.86  there is no other, for there is no order, no second or third and  nothing but the First.
Tx:14.2  in your experience of the world to help you understand it. There is  nothing on earth with which it can compare and nothing you have ever
Tx:14.2  it. There is nothing on earth with which it can compare and  nothing you have ever felt, apart from Him, that resembles it ever so
Tx:14.2  gentleness. Would you know of One Who gives forever and Who knows of  nothing except giving?
Tx:14.3  is yours. If you remember what you have made, you are remembering  nothing. Remembrance of reality is in Him and therefore in you.
Tx:14.4  with the Mind of God has never been. Communication with God is life.  Nothing without it is at all.
Tx:14.5  the world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is  nothing of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the
Tx:14.6  you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you  nothing except how to be happy.
Tx:14.7  was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is  nothing in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence.
Tx:14.8  from his own sight. We are all joined in the Atonement here, and  nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the world of
Tx:14.16  is the exchange of dark for light, of ignorance for understanding.  Nothing you understand is fearful. It is only in darkness and in
Tx:14.16  you did, it would be clear, and you would be no longer in the dark.  Nothing has hidden value, for what is hidden cannot be shared, and so
Tx:14.17  Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness in which  nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack will
Tx:14.17  is merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and therefore  nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought
Tx:14.17  it carefully, and you who made these guardians of illusion out of  nothing are now afraid of them.
Tx:14.18  nor unsafe. They do not protect; neither do they attack. They do  nothing at all, being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of
Tx:14.18  not protect; neither do they attack. They do nothing at all, being  nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look to
Tx:14.20  much in your mind that lets you think you are. All this, and  nothing else, would He separate from you. The power of decision,
Tx:14.22  at once, and this must lead to unintelligibility. Yet if one means  nothing and the other everything, only that one is possible for
Tx:14.23  not fearful and cannot serve to guard the dark doors behind which  nothing at all is carefully concealed. We must open all doors and let
Tx:14.31  you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that  nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you
Tx:14.32  of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies  nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the
Tx:14.32  Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies nothing, because  nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the closing of the doors
Tx:14.33  your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And  nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but will be
Tx:14.35  and His Son's belong to you in truth. They have no opposite, and  nothing else can you bestow upon yourselves.
Tx:14.36  you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the truth.  Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness.
Tx:14.37  of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for  nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are brought
Tx:14.40  You are not frail with God beside you. Yet without Him you are  nothing. The Atonement offers you God. The gift which you refused is
Tx:14.52  either to recognize love or to believe that everything else is  nothing but a need for love. You are too bound to form and not to
Tx:14.52  you consider content is not content at all. It is merely form, and  nothing else. For you do not respond to what a brother really offers
Tx:14.53  of the dynamics of the mind, let me assure you that you know  nothing of it at all. For of yourselves you could not know of it. The
Tx:14.56  Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, being for all.  Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy Spirit
Tx:14.56  lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy Spirit is  nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother is
Tx:14.60  it holds for you. Your learning gives the present no meaning at all.  Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present or
Tx:14.61  think you see the darkness. Yet darkness cannot be seen, for it is  nothing more than a condition in which seeing becomes impossible. You
Tx:14.72 Those who remember always that they know  nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything, will learn
Tx:14.73  really learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they want and  nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace will depart from you
Tx:14.75  room for Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power that  nothing will prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by
Tx:15.1  all the time? Yet that is what time is for—to learn just that and  nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied with His teaching
Tx:15.8  in the ego's use of time. For time, according to its teaching, is  nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt until it becomes
Tx:15.9  forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that  nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is remembered, and
Tx:15.10  this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time.  Nothing can reach you here out of the past, and it is here that you
Tx:15.32  constant and at peace forever with Itself. You will be content with  nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I
Tx:15.32  offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in need of  nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you will
Tx:15.36  salvation in exchange for God's. His will content you, and there is  nothing else that can bring you peace. For peace is of God and of no
Tx:15.39  is simple is that truth is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is  nothing more than the ego's attempt to obscure the obvious.
Tx:15.40  that all minds are in communication. It therefore seeks to change  nothing, but merely to accept everything.
Tx:15.44  to acknowledge that you are host to God and hostage to no one and  nothing.
Tx:15.51  your seeking a picture whose likeness does not exist. For there is  nothing in Heaven or earth that it resembles, and so however much you
Tx:15.53 God knows you now. He remembers  nothing, having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The
Tx:15.62 In the holy instant,  nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil that has been
Tx:15.62  been. Only the veil that has been drawn across reality is lifted.  Nothing has changed. Yet the awareness of changelessness comes
Tx:15.63  conditions are in the mind with it. If you were not only an idea and  nothing else, you could not be in full communication with all that
Tx:15.63  as long as you prefer to be something else, or would attempt to be  nothing else and something else together, the language of
Tx:15.65  love that is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks  nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything.
Tx:15.67  your only 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
Tx:15.74  and what brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is  nothing more than an attempt to make someone feel guilty, and this
Tx:15.79  that in complete forgiveness, in which you recognize that there is  nothing to forgive, you are absolved completely.
Tx:15.81  He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your sense of failure as  nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of God
Tx:15.81  in who you are. For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and  nothing that he wills can be denied. You are forever in a
Tx:15.82  as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His creation.  Nothing that ever was created but is yours. Your relationships are
Tx:15.86  of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are  nothing more than attempts to limit communication and thereby to make
Tx:15.93  of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is  nothing but a limitation imposed on giving. And by this limitation,
Tx:15.95  it is always the same idea. What is not love is always fear and  nothing else. It is not necessary to follow fear through all the
Tx:15.96  alternatives, for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets  nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that
Tx:15.96  to your thought system that salvation apart from sacrifice means  nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love is so profound
Tx:15.100  hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains and would leave you  nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You will have to choose
Tx:15.101  together and perceived where they are, the choice between them is  nothing more than a gentle awakening and as simple as opening your
Tx:15.102  it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding  nothing. No sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His
Tx:15.103  celebrate our release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave  nothing behind, for release is total, and when you have accepted it
Tx:15.107  lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice  nothing, and communication, which must be of the mind, cannot be
Tx:15.108  you. What can be more joyous than to perceive we are deprived of  nothing? Such is the message of the time of Christ, which I give you
Tx:15.110  I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish.  Nothing will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy.
Tx:16.3  is. All you have learned of empathy is from the past. And there is  nothing from the past that you would share, for there is nothing
Tx:16.3  there is nothing from the past that you would share, for there is  nothing there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to make the
Tx:16.4  past upon my Guest. I have invited Him, and He is here. I need do  nothing except not to interfere.
Tx:16.21  so from the basis of a very different thought system and one with  nothing in common with yours. For certainly what He has taught, and
Tx:16.21  what He has taught, and what you have taught through Him, have  nothing in common with what you taught before He came. And the
Tx:16.25  is their home. You who are host to God are also host to them. For  nothing real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not
Tx:16.26  and whom He holds are the universe, all else must be outside, where  nothing is. You have taught this, and from far off in the universe,
Tx:16.27  His Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end, and there is  nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All this is you, and
Tx:16.27  nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All this is you, and  nothing outside of this is you.
Tx:16.36  is an attempt [to bring love into separation. And, as such, it is  nothing more than an attempt] to bring love into fear and make it
Tx:16.38  is your completion, for you will be wholly in God, willing for  nothing special but only to be wholly like unto Him, completing Him
Tx:16.38  forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of illusion, where  nothing is certain, and where everything fails to satisfy. In the
Tx:16.41  it. Turn with me firmly away from all illusions now, and let  nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish
Tx:16.42  creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you understand  nothing. But as you step lightly across it, upheld by timelessness,
Tx:16.47  over God. In this it sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for  nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its idea of
Tx:16.49  prefer. And he feels guilty for the “sin” of taking and of giving  nothing of value in return. For how much value can he place upon a
Tx:16.50  with Heaven. Yet if all illusions are of fear, and they can be of  nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an
Tx:16.50  of fear, and they can be of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is  nothing more than an “attractive” form of fear in which the guilt is
Tx:16.55  have any influence at all upon it. See in the special relationship  nothing more than a meaningless attempt to raise other gods before
Tx:16.56  have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it is and  nothing more.
Tx:16.58  simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side and  nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural
Tx:16.62  is left outside than would be taken in. For God is left without and  nothing taken in. If one such union were made in perfect faith, the
Tx:16.62  For the ego wants but part of him and sees only this part and  nothing else.
Tx:16.64 The bridge itself is  nothing more than a transition in your perspective of reality. On
Tx:16.64  actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means  nothing more than that you have been willing to let go your hold on
Tx:16.66  Nothing you seek to strengthen in the special relationship is really
Tx:16.67  and learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to give up  nothing because it is nothing.
Tx:16.67  you for the simple willingness to give up nothing because it is  nothing.
Tx:16.68  you will think in glad astonishment that for all this you gave up  nothing! The joy of Heaven, which has no limit, is increased with
Tx:16.71  it what it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it means  nothing now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you
Tx:16.71  can give you what you think the past deprived you of? The past is  nothing. Do not seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the
Tx:16.78 There is  nothing you can hold against reality. All that must be forgiven are
Tx:16.78  reality has no past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God holds  nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind.
Tx:16.80  they perceived as great or small, possible or impossible. There is  nothing that will not give place to Him and to His majesty. To join
Tx:16.80  no other. The truth lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or  nothing.
Tx:17.7  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:17.7  you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And  nothing will you value like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that
Tx:17.7  And nothing will you value like unto this nor hold so dear.  Nothing that you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy
Tx:17.8  and clean and new with everything sparkling under the open sun.  Nothing is hidden here, for everything has been forgiven, and there
Tx:17.9  you learn to reach. Fantasies are all undone, and no one and  nothing remains still bound by them, and by your own forgiveness, you
Tx:17.10  everything that has been used for learning will have no function.  Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no
Tx:17.18  have not been made at all. Where no reality has entered, there is  nothing to intrude upon the dream of happiness. Yet consider what
Tx:17.27 God established His relationship with you to make you happy, and  nothing you do which does not share His purpose can be real. The
Tx:17.27  the function of relationships became forever “to make happy.” And  nothing else. To fulfill this function, you relate to your creations
Tx:17.27  this function, you relate to your creations as God to His. For  nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created
Tx:17.27  as God to His. For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and  nothing God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did.
Tx:17.31  as insane as what they are supposed to protect. The separation has  nothing in it, no part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not
Tx:17.40  recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was real and  nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will see nothing.
Tx:17.40  was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will see  nothing.
Tx:17.69  call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its fulfillment.  Nothing too small or too enormous, too weak or too compelling, but
Tx:17.71  in every aspect and complete in every part. You can leave  nothing of yourself outside it and keep the situation holy. For it
Tx:17.74 The holy instant is  nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of what every
Tx:17.75  and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks  nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the
Tx:17.77  terror, cold fantasies of fear and fiery dreams of hell. And it was  nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to truth
Tx:17.79  and will not change, for you accepted what can never change. And  nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you now withhold
Tx:18.2  are perceived as different. One would unite; the other separate.  Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.5  aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But  nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original
Tx:18.7  at all. None of them matters. That they have in common and  nothing else. Yet what else is necessary to make them all the same?
Tx:18.9  course inward to the truth you share. In the mad world outside you,  nothing can be shared but only substituted, and sharing and
Tx:18.9  be shared but only substituted, and sharing and substituting have  nothing in common in reality. Within yourselves you love each other
Tx:18.36  who think that they must first atone, but only to those who offer it  nothing more than simple willingness to make way for it. Purification
Tx:18.37  to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal. I need add  nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing not to
Tx:18.39  makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand  nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing that you
Tx:18.39  you need understand nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks  nothing that you cannot give right now.
Tx:18.45  that He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you, and  nothing will be wanting that would make of it what He would have it
Tx:18.49 There is  nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately learn, for it
Tx:18.49  an awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is  nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else within.
Tx:18.49  of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing else;  nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else within.
Tx:18.49  that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and  nothing else within.
Tx:18.50  bodies from your minds. Yet a body cannot be guilty, for it can do  nothing of itself. You who think you hate your bodies deceive
Tx:18.54  out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you want, and they have  nothing to do with what the body does. It does not dream of them, and
Tx:18.56  It does not go out. Within itself it has no limits, and there is  nothing outside it. [It encompasses everything.] It encompasses you
Tx:18.56  encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it within you. There is  nothing else, anywhere or ever.
Tx:18.65  instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and  nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction now. Its
Tx:18.67  of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to remember you need do  nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on
Tx:18.67  anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization: “I need do  nothing.”
Tx:18.68  Save time for me by only this one preparation and practice, doing  nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the body. And if you recognize you need do  nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind. Here is
Tx:18.69  now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do  nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a
Tx:18.69  and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for time. To do  nothing is to rest and make a place within you where the activity of
Tx:18.70  than all its raging activity. This quiet center, in which you do  nothing, will remain with you, giving you rest in the midst of every
Tx:18.75  the whole to give them any meaning, for by themselves they do mean  nothing. Nor have they any life apart and by themselves.
Tx:18.77  this little fenced-off aspect as yourself. The sun and ocean are as  nothing beside what you are. The sunbeam sparkles only in the
Tx:18.77  kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he surveys who looks on  nothing, yet who would still die to defend it? This little self is
Tx:18.90  touch it and it disappears; attempt to grasp it and your hands hold  nothing.
Tx:18.94  that God Himself can take the final step unhindered, for here does  nothing interfere with love, letting it be itself. A step beyond this
Tx:18.94  you to something completely different. Here is the Source of light— nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but merely known.
Tx:18.98  has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember  nothing else, and memory will be as useless as learning, for your
Tx:19.14  through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is  nothing faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm
Tx:19.16  the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to  nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a
Tx:19.19  the power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is  nothing he can do that would really change his reality in any way nor
Tx:19.24 Would you not rather that all this be  nothing more than a mistake, entirely correctable, and so easily
Tx:19.28 Mistakes are for correction, and they call for  nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for nothing. Every
Tx:19.28  they call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for  nothing. Every mistake must be a call for love. What, then, is sin?
Tx:19.38  across the obstacles you placed before it. This will you do, for  nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can
Tx:19.38  with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of  nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy
Tx:19.48  never to return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is  nothing in itself and stood for nothing when you had greater faith in
Tx:19.48  in gladness, not regret. For it is nothing in itself and stood for  nothing when you had greater faith in its protection. Would you not
Tx:19.64 You have paid very dearly for your illusions, and  nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you not glad that
Tx:19.82  your holy purpose. The body no more dies than it can feel. It does  nothing. Of itself, it is neither corruptible nor incorruptible. It
Tx:19.82  Of itself, it is neither corruptible nor incorruptible. It is  nothing. It is the result of a tiny mad idea of corruption which can
Tx:19.88  sought in what they represent. And they may thus mean everything or  nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the idea which they
Tx:19.95  of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and your “home” will vanish.  Nothing that you remember now will you remember.
Tx:19.108  not to be lost, but found; not to be seen, but known. And knowing,  nothing in the plan God has established for salvation will be left
Tx:20.11  thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is  nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his
Tx:20.28  Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. For you
Tx:20.31  and they will give it only to what God has given to share with them.  Nothing but this can touch them, for they see only this, sharing
Tx:20.35  His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be  nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your
Tx:20.36  in your way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way.  Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but
Tx:20.36  but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for  nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you
Tx:20.41  eternity that runs through time like golden light is all the same— nothing before it, nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.41  through time like golden light is all the same—nothing before it,  nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.42  it ever held or will ever hold is here right now. The past takes  nothing from it, and the future will add no more. Here, then, is
Tx:20.45  If it were elsewhere, it would rest upon contingency, but there is  nothing else. And this is wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son
Tx:20.46  Nothing can show the contrast better than the experience of both a
Tx:20.46  to be known, completely understood, and shared. It has no secrets;  nothing that it would keep apart and hide. It walks in sunlight,
Tx:20.49  mystery, a meaningless enclosure carefully protected, yet hiding  nothing. Here the unholy relationship escapes reality and seeks for
Tx:20.51 Idolaters will always be afraid of love, for  nothing so severely threatens them as love's approach. Let love draw
Tx:20.58  as does His purpose. Being so simple and direct, this course has  nothing in it that is not consistent. The seeming inconsistencies or
Tx:20.58  great discomfort. This need not be. This course requires almost  nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so little
Tx:20.61  is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As  nothing, which it is, the body cannot meaningfully be invested with
Tx:20.75 Only two purposes are possible. And one is sin, the other holiness.  Nothing is in between, and which you choose determines what you see.
Tx:20.75  to sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still is true that  nothing is without. Yet upon nothing are all projections made. For it
Tx:20.75  to its reality. It still is true that nothing is without. Yet upon  nothing are all projections made. For it is the projection which
Tx:21.1 Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it,  nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not
Tx:21.1  meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy.  Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no
Tx:21.6  “see” in their imagination, believing that their choice is that or  nothing. They hate the world they learned through pain. And
Tx:21.9 The notes are  nothing. Yet you have kept them with you, not for themselves, but as
Tx:21.9  would lose the world you learned since then. And yet you know that  nothing in the world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and
Tx:21.11  this and not the body. You know the ancient song and know it well.  Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love]
Tx:21.17  possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is  nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you
Tx:21.25  would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, producing real effects.  Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse the two is
Tx:21.26  that you did not create yourself. They are the same mistake.  Nothing created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And
Tx:21.27  has no power to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes  nothing in creation, depends entirely upon the madness of its maker,
Tx:21.30  it. No one allows a purpose to be replaced while he desires it, for  nothing is so cherished and protected as is a goal the mind accepts.
Tx:21.33  would have it be. Faithlessness is not a lack of faith, but faith in  nothing. Faith given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does
Tx:21.37  accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings  nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you will
Tx:21.45  and recognized him perfectly since time began. And it desired  nothing but to join with him and to be free again, as once it was. It
Tx:21.52  lies in the other Self you have cut off from your awareness. And  nothing you have allowed to stay in it is capable of reason. How can
Tx:21.63  can there be that stands between what is continuous? And if there is  nothing in between, how can what enters part be kept away from other
Tx:21.83  changing, now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to  nothing, he does decide against it.
Tx:21.87  for it desires that everything be like itself and sees it so.  Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its own desire
Tx:21.90  of your desire for what will never change. For you have asked that  nothing stand between the holiness of your relationship and your
Tx:22.2  himself and rob the other. They stay until they think there's  nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander through a
Tx:22.3  selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, he looks on  nothing he would take. He denies not his own reality, because it is
Tx:22.13 Be certain God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy.  Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it
Tx:22.20  was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom  nothing He wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment are
Tx:22.25  on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with fear.  Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would be
Tx:22.30  to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of errors. It looks on  nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego damn and reason save.
Tx:22.33  beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form of  nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of everything,
Tx:22.33  truly? It is held back by form, having been made to guarantee that  nothing else but form will be perceived.
Tx:22.34  they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the form to meaning.  Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight of form means
Tx:22.39  to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be  nothing you will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.45  The opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes  nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only
Tx:22.46  return. Yet how can peace be so fragmented? It is still whole, and  nothing has been taken from it.
Tx:22.47 See how the means and the material of evil dreams are  nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in between. God
Tx:22.47  of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you stand together with  nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can separate whom
Tx:22.50  must be convinced, in spite of what you thought it was, that it is  nothing. If you forgive each other, this must happen. For it is your
Tx:22.54  means for His own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all.  Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but will
Tx:22.54  serves yours not at all. Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and  nothing given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the
Tx:22.57  other with complete forgiveness from which no error is excluded and  nothing kept hidden what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot
Tx:22.57  a shadow through which you walk completely undismayed? God would let  nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they will
Tx:23.1  of frailty and weakness is sinlessness? Innocence is strength, and  nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind
Tx:23.3  no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their innocence.  Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth
Tx:23.6  Nothing around you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see
Tx:23.9  it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the same, and they are  nothing. Their joining lies in nothingness; two are as meaningless as
Tx:23.9  two are as meaningless as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with  nothing, being nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is
Tx:23.9  as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with nothing, being  nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is itself.
Tx:23.13  battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state where  nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no victory. And
Tx:23.14  forces. It cannot exist between one power and nothingness. There is  nothing you could attack that is not part of you. And by attacking
Tx:23.14  is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of  nothing cannot win reality through battle. Why would you fill your
Tx:23.17  grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of sin. And  nothing is remembered except illusions. Illusions can conflict
Tx:23.19  Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern  nothing and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone beyond.
Tx:23.21  to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No part of  nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another.
Tx:23.42  An empty box, however beautiful and gently given, still contains  nothing. And neither the receiver nor the giver is long deceived.
Tx:23.42  forgiveness from your brother, and you attack him. You give him  nothing and receive of him but what you gave.
Tx:23.43  you want—to take a little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up  nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the idea of compromise but
Tx:23.54  their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They want for  nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they
Tx:24.6 What God created cannot be attacked, for there is  nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is different calls
Tx:24.6  call it “friend.” On its behalf they fight against the universe, for  nothing in the world they value more.
Tx:24.17  was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up  nothing and to receive the love of God forever?
Tx:24.20  in silent blessing and in peace so real and so encompassing that  nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this
Tx:24.24  enter and a hiding-place where none is welcome but your tiny self.  Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate
Tx:24.28  in you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on  nothing never can be stable. However large and overblown it seems to
Tx:24.29 Without foundation  nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in such a state, where
Tx:24.29  that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or even lives at all.  Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It will
Tx:24.29  lives at all. Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from  nothing. It will forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is
Tx:24.32  to come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear  nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the call
Tx:24.35  and body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do  nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it as means to
Tx:24.36  limited; so must it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one.  Nothing could make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more
Tx:24.36  hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to specialness.  Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely
Tx:24.41  a thread from here, a scrap from there, and wove a picture out of  nothing. For the parts do not belong together, and the whole
Tx:24.41  For the parts do not belong together, and the whole contributes  nothing to the parts to give them meaning.
Tx:24.42  him, showing him what can be seen and heard and where he will see  nothing and there is no sound to hear.
Tx:24.50  For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His Will is One.  Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in
Tx:24.50  because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and  nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's holiness shows you
Tx:24.51  Nothing is lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that God created
Tx:24.51 Nothing is lost to you in all the universe.  Nothing that God created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as
Tx:24.59  stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in need of  nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its eyes, you
Tx:24.62  he wants to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and he obeys.  Nothing his specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs
Tx:24.62  him, and he obeys. Nothing his specialness demands does he withhold.  Nothing it needs does he deny to what he loves. And while it calls to
Tx:24.63  the deep concern, the powerful conviction this is you belong to him.  Nothing you gave to specialness but is his due. And nothing due him
Tx:24.63  belong to him. Nothing you gave to specialness but is his due. And  nothing due him is not due to you.
Tx:24.66  its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is means for  nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in its
Tx:24.68  like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed,  nothing to add and nothing taken from—not born of size nor weight
Tx:24.68  being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and  nothing taken from—not born of size nor weight nor time nor held to
Tx:25.3  His light and fills it with the holiness that shines from Him. And  nothing that the body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those
Tx:25.7  past it to the light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and  nothing hides the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you
Tx:25.21  the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike.  Nothing has power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend
Tx:25.23  to this world of God's more basic law that love creates itself and  nothing but itself.
Tx:25.26  its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His perception of the world,  nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect
Tx:25.26  seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect sinlessness.  Nothing arises but is met with instant and complete forgiveness.
Tx:25.27  Nothing remains an instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines
Tx:25.28  a misperception be a sin? Let all your brother's errors be to you  nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper
Tx:25.33  sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see.  Nothing is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your
Tx:25.36  Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home?  Nothing before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state
Tx:25.36  to him for whom it was created as his only home? Nothing before and  nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing
Tx:25.36  and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time.  Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you
Tx:25.36  No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer.  Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to all the world and
Tx:25.43  they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil,  nothing in the world to fear, and no one who is different from
Tx:25.48  its laws are not imposed on you; its values are not yours. [And  nothing that you think you see in it is really there at all.] And
Tx:25.51  can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could realize  nothing is changeless but the Will of God, this course would not be
Tx:25.51  for you. For it is this that you do not believe. Yet there is  nothing else you could believe if you but looked at what it really is.
Tx:25.52  Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all within this world. And  nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind
Tx:25.54  perception can be based, another world perceived. And one in which  nothing is contradicted that would lead the Son of God to sanity and
Tx:25.54  is contradicted that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy.  Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to separation, and to
Tx:25.55  everything that meets this one demand is worthy of your faith. But  nothing else. What is not love is sin, and either one perceives the
Tx:25.63  is necessary to add to the idea no one can lose for you to gain. And  nothing more.
Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the world knows  nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the same, for
Tx:25.77  all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you  nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for you. And you are
Tx:25.79  willing it be given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear.  Nothing you give is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and
Tx:26.1  of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will see  nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can
Tx:26.17  that is belongs to Him and will forever be as He created it.  Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special
Tx:26.18  He knows of one creation, one reality, one truth, and but one Son.  Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, could there be complexity
Tx:26.18  where oneness is? The truth makes no decisions, for there is  nothing to decide between. And only if there were could choosing be a
Tx:26.18  in the advance toward oneness. What is everything leaves room for  nothing else.
Tx:26.21  Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth
Tx:26.25  from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies.  Nothing in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is charity
Tx:26.25  Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has done  nothing to forgive. Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers
Tx:26.26  is totally forgiven. And what has been forgiven must join, for  nothing stands between to keep them separate and apart. The sinless
Tx:26.26  separate and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for  nothing stands between to push the other off. And in the space which
Tx:26.30  ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven.  Nothing in between is possible. There are two teachers only, who
Tx:26.30  but choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is  nothing else to choose.
Tx:26.31  Nothing is ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is
Tx:26.31  can achieve? Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all.  Nothing you undertake with certain purpose and high resolve and happy
Tx:26.31  to wander off, alone and miserable, down a road which leads to  nothing and which has no purpose.
Tx:26.44  but an illusion and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not  nothing and through its perceived reality has entered all the world
Tx:26.53  Nothing gives meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense
Tx:26.89  Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. And to this purpose,  nothing can be added, for the world is purposeless except for this.
Tx:27.6  he beholds in you. Here is the proof that he has never sinned—that  nothing which his madness bid him do was ever done or ever had
Tx:27.10  apart from all experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to  nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made free again to
Tx:27.17  For 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
Tx:27.30  it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And now he stands for  nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot be must stand
Tx:27.31 The picture of your brother that you see means  nothing. There is nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to
Tx:27.31 The picture of your brother that you see means nothing. There is  nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to endow with power
Tx:27.32  with no opposite is what creation is. For this there are no symbols.  Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than
Tx:27.34  aid will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and  nothing which the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to
Tx:27.35  without opposite. You do not know the peace of power which opposes  nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power
Tx:27.40  the questions. Where answers represent the questions, they add  nothing new, and nothing has been learned.
Tx:27.40  Where answers represent the questions, they add nothing new, and  nothing has been learned.
Tx:27.46  comforted. There is no sadness where a miracle has come to heal. And  nothing more than just one instant of your love without attack is
Tx:27.47  blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves  nothing within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from
Tx:27.48 Come to the holy instant and be healed, for  nothing that is there received is left behind on your returning to
Tx:27.54  because their purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are they means for  nothing, for they have a goal without a meaning. And they share the
Tx:27.56  for any one you choose is like the rest. This name or that, but  nothing more, you choose. You do not make a witness true because you
Tx:27.57  speak in other ways for its reality. He knows it is not real. For  nothing could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor could it
Tx:27.73  of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will.  Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and
Tx:27.81  upon himself. No one believes there really was a time when he knew  nothing of a body and could never have conceived this world as real.
Tx:27.84  sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their cause which follows  nothing and is but a jest.
Tx:28.1 The miracle does  nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels out the
Tx:28.3  Nothing employed for healing represents an effort to do anything at
Tx:28.6 Yet time is but another phase of what does  nothing. It works hand in hand with all the other attributes with
Tx:28.7 Remember  nothing that you taught yourself, for you were badly taught. And who
Tx:28.10  miracle a lesson in allowing Cause to have Its own effects and doing  nothing that would interfere.
Tx:28.11  to other minds to share its quietness. And they will join in doing  nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the mind Which
Tx:28.12  where They would abide. For in that instant does the Son of God do  nothing that would make himself afraid.
Tx:28.14  what he has made is causeless, making no effects at all. He has done  nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he never had a need for
Tx:28.18  unlike yourself. And as their “father,” you must be like them.  Nothing at all has happened but that you have put yourself to sleep
Tx:28.22  own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does  nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is
Tx:28.22  he caused. The miracle does nothing but to show him that he has done  nothing. What he fears is cause without the consequences which would
Tx:28.26  that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused  nothing and had no effects.
Tx:28.30 The miracle does  nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot separate. Yet in
Tx:28.32  is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty space, enclosing  nothing, doing nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty place
Tx:28.32  effect. Yet separation is but empty space, enclosing nothing, doing  nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty place between the ripples
Tx:28.34  and who stored a heap of snow that shone like silver. They have  nothing left behind the open door. What is the world except a little
Tx:28.45  picture of God's Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean  nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of
Tx:28.46  Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost  nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he
Tx:28.47  them is sharing Him. There is no other choice. Except you share it,  nothing can exist. And you exist because God shared His Will with
Tx:28.53  changing shapes, forever unsubstantial and unsure. Yet in the gap is  nothing. And there are no awesome secrets and no darkened tombs where
Tx:28.60 God asks for  nothing, and His Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no
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 space, a little gap,
Tx:29.1 There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is  nothing to be feared. There is no way in which a gap could be
Tx:29.8  but its lack of strength or weakness. Would you recognize that  nothing stands between you? Would you know there is no gap behind
Tx:29.9 Yet all that happens when the gap is gone is peace eternal.  Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the fear of God,
Tx:29.9  when the gap is gone is peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and  nothing less. Without the fear of God, what could induce you to
Tx:29.10  to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up  nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you will have some
Tx:29.15  God—His Son have life and every living thing be part of him, and  nothing else have life. What you have given “life” is not alive and
Tx:29.15  here, for on confusion has this world been based, and there is  nothing else it rests upon. Its basis does not change, although it
Tx:29.18  than it should be but only in your failure to perceive that it is  nothing. Yet its nothingness is your salvation, from which you would
Tx:29.32 The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep within that  nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still
Tx:29.32  embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator;  nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the
Tx:29.32  he is his Father's Son and not for any purpose you may see in him.  Nothing is asked of you but to accept the changeless and eternal that
Tx:29.37  even though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet  nothing in the world of dreams remains without the hope of change and
Tx:29.40  Nothing survives its purpose. If it be conceived to die, then die it
Tx:29.42  you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and  nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For nothing here
Tx:29.42  changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For  nothing here but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the
Tx:29.51  there 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
Tx:29.56 What is an idol?  Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to come to life and
Tx:29.58  forever and has left no room for anything to be except His Will.  Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is everything and
Tx:30.31  occur. It is but this agreement which permits all things to happen.  Nothing can be caused without some form of union, be it with a dream
Tx:30.34 How wonderful it is to do your will! For that is freedom. There is  nothing else that ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you
Tx:30.43  Nothing that God knows not exists. And what He knows exists forever,
Tx:30.48  a thing apart from you and in a world which your reality knows  nothing of? Outside you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star,
Tx:30.53  Attack has power to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is  nothing. Who could be made fearful by a power that can have no real
Tx:30.56  Be glad indeed salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks for  nothing in reality. And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be
Tx:30.56  of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for  nothing. And the Son of God can have no need of them. They offer him
Tx:30.61  the mind can let them go when it has understood that idols are  nothing and nowhere and are purposeless. For only then can guilt and
Tx:30.86  things have but one purpose which you share with all the world. And  nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to
Tx:30.88 Do not interpret out of solitude, for what you see means  nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe
Tx:30.91  than those you would not want to have reality. Temptation, then, is  nothing more than this—a prayer the miracle touch not some dreams
Tx:31.3  power in the world. The world was made by it and even now depends on  nothing else. The lessons you have taught yourselves have been so
Tx:31.8  everything is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness.  Nothing but calls to you in soft appeal to be your friend and let it
Tx:31.22  no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made.  Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen
Tx:31.28  is not seen to be a passive thing, obeying your commands and doing  nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a body, for the mind
Tx:31.30  guilt rules and orders that the world be like itself—a place where  nothing can find mercy or survive the ravages of fear except in
Tx:31.56  find the answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen as  nothing more than the escape from concepts. It does not concern
Tx:31.57  yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and  nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by
Tx:31.57  can be hurt by anything, you see a picture of your secret wishes.  Nothing more than this. And in your suffering of any kind, you see
Tx:31.67  worthy of your trust; a happy place to rest in for a while, where  nothing need be feared but only loved. Who is unwelcome to the kind
Tx:31.74  which dims your sight and warps your vision, so that you behold  nothing with clarity. The light is kept from everything you see. At
Tx:31.75  of himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for  nothing stands between his sight and what he looks upon to judge what
Tx:31.81  hope except to die and end the dream of fear. This is temptation,  nothing more than this. Can this be difficult to choose against?
Tx:31.90 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer  nothing. And I am His Son.
Tx:31.91  are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by, and  nothing left to interfere with truth.
Tx:31.93  do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my words. I ask for  nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell within a
W1:I.1  which will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish  nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the mind to
W1:I.5  contain. Whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them.  Nothing more than this is required.
W1:1.5  for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be sure that  nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like another
W1:2.2  it. Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that  nothing is specifically excluded.
W1:7.2 It is the reason why  nothing that you see means anything.
W1:7.12 Do not linger over any one thing in particular, but remember to omit  nothing specifically. Glance briefly at each subject, and then move
W1:9.3  its indiscriminate application and the essential rule of excluding  nothing. For example:
W1:13.1  to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless world is impossible.  Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you
W1:14.1  that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see has  nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not
W1:15.1  think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as  nothing. You think you think them, and so you think you see them.
W1:16.2  the truth or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply  nothing, but you will not extend it by doing so.
W1:21.2  will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is  nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.
W1:21.3  that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and  nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You will
W1:22.4 I see only the perishable. I see  nothing that will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a form
W1:23.1  for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever succeed.  Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way
W1:24.8  you are making a large number of demands of the situation which have  nothing to do with it. You will also recognize that many of your
W1:25.1 Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why  nothing you see means anything. You do not know what it is for.
W1:25.2  in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals have  nothing to do with your own best interests, because the ego is not
W1:25.3  you have no personal interests, your goals are really concerned with  nothing. In cherishing them, therefore, you have no goals at all. And
W1:26.4  vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts.  Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your
W1:26.4  of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you.  Nothing except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable.
W1:26.4  except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable. And  nothing except your thoughts can prove to you this is not so.
W1:29.1  explains why you can see all purpose in anything. It explains why  nothing is separate, by itself or in itself. And it explains why
W1:29.1  why nothing is separate, by itself or in itself. And it explains why  nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every idea we
W1:29.3  You do not see them now. Would you know what is in them?  Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose stands beyond your
W1:35.10  longer exercise periods, there will probably be intervals in which  nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to think up specific
W1:35.10  repeat today's idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although  nothing that does occur should be omitted from the exercises, nothing
W1:35.10  nothing that does occur should be omitted from the exercises,  nothing should be “dug out” with effort. Neither force nor
W1:35.11  them, adding the idea to each of them in the form stated above. If  nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat the idea to yourself
W1:37.1  holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses;  nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy
W1:37.2  awareness through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking  nothing of him. Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.
W1:38.1  your holiness the power of God is made available. And there is  nothing the power of God cannot do.
W1:38.5 In the situation involving ______ in which I see myself, there is  nothing that my holiness cannot do. In the situation involving ______
W1:38.5  the situation involving ______ in which _____ sees himself, there is  nothing my holiness cannot do.
W1:38.7 There is  nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.
W1:38.8  appeal to you, but keep the exercises focused on the theme “There is  nothing my holiness cannot do.” The purpose of today's exercises is
W1:41.3  alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go.  Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you
W1:42.4  and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of  nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's
W1:42.9  teaching you that we are studying a unified thought system in which  nothing is lacking that is needed, and nothing is included that is
W1:42.9  thought system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and  nothing is included that is contradictory or irrelevant.
W1:45.1 Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are  nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you think you
W1:45.1  thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as  nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any way. There
W1:45.1  is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real.  Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resembles your real
W1:45.1  are your real thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any respect.  Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision
W1:47.8  in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where  nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of
W1:48.1  believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is  nothing to fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is very
W1:48.3  you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is  nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in
W1:48.3  of yours. The instant you are willing to do this, there is indeed  nothing to fear.
W1:50.2  peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind which  nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can
W1:50.2  will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten,  nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal
W1:50.2  of mind which nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where  nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.
W1:51.2 [1]  Nothing I see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see
W1:51.2 [1] Nothing I see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see  nothing, and nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize
W1:51.2  see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and  nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I
W1:52.2  I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion.  Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of
W1:52.2  affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by  nothing.
W1:52.4  to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up  nothing.
W1:52.5 [9] I see  nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is now. If I see  nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can
W1:52.5  now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see  nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see
W1:52.6  What can these thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean  nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its Creator.
W1:53.4  it is completely undependable and offers no grounds for trust.  Nothing in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope.
W1:54.4  form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of  nothing. I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share
W1:54.5  not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone in  nothing. Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A
W1:57.2  so. The prison door is open. I can leave it simply by walking out.  Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a
W1:58.3  I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. There is  nothing that is apart from this joy because there is nothing that
W1:58.3  to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy because there is  nothing that does not share my holiness. As I recognize my holiness,
W1:58.4 [38] There is  nothing my holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its power
W1:58.5  the salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness,  nothing can make me afraid. And because I am unafraid, everyone must
W1:60.2  cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see  nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will
W1:60.4 [48] There is  nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see
W1:64.2  Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of
W1:64.10  reviewing these thoughts and then to thinking about them and about  nothing else. This will be difficult at first particularly, since you
W1:68.9  over you, and holding you up. Try to believe, however briefly, that  nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period
W1:70.1 All temptation is  nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe
W1:70.2 The seeming “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that  nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can
W1:70.2  idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you;  nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that
W1:70.2  nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that  nothing outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset
W1:70.8  a statement signifying your recognition that salvation comes from  nothing outside of you. You might put it this way:
W1:70.14  today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you and  nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress. You are free
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me.  Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's
W1:72.7  of what the body offers. Take the little you can get. God gave you  nothing. The body is your only savior. It is the death of God and
W1:73.1  strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation. They make  nothing that is real.
W1:73.9  ego which stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and  nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the exercises
W1:74.6 I am at peace.  Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and God's are one.
W1:76.10  nor received. Exchange cannot be made, there are no substitutes, and  nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and
W1:83.7  of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.  Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart
W1:92.7  and in love. It sees all others different from itself and  nothing in the world that it would share. It judges and condemns but
W1:93.2  fixed that it is difficult to help you see that they are based on  nothing. That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought
W1:93.4  evil that you think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are  nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that
W1:93.5  does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think means  nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and nothing more
W1:93.5  think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and  nothing more than that. It does not battle with the Son of God. It
W1:93.6  it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.  Nothing can touch it nor can change what God created as eternal. The
W1:94.6  Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to lay all idols
W1:95.2  you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands  nothing.
W1:95.10  you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction and for  nothing else.
W1:95.12 This is the truth, and  nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try
W1:98.6  success. And since time has no meaning, you are being asked for  nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot
W1:102.2  accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers  nothing and does not exist. And everything you think it offers you is
W1:102.2  you is lacking in existence like itself. You have been slave to  nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God.
W1:104.7  what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for  nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth.
W1:104.7  in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for  nothing else belongs to us in truth.
W1:105.3  see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give and leaves you  nothing in the ones you take. A major learning goal this course has
W1:106.1  seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you  nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind,
W1:107.2  when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—when  nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were
W1:110.7 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer  nothing. And I am His Son.
W1:R3.4  periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They gave you  nothing. But your practicing can offer everything to you. And so
W1:117.2  being Love, is also happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and  nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes
W1:124.1  and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in  nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light which blesses
W1:124.9 Your benefit will not be less if you believe that  nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet
W1:128.1 The world you see has  nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that you can use in any
W1:128.1 The world you see has nothing that you need to offer you,  nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves
W1:128.2  where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The world you see has  nothing that you want.
W1:128.4 Let  nothing which relates to body thoughts delay your progress to
W1:128.4  to believe the world has anything you want to hold you back.  Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant of
W1:128.4  has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish.  Nothing here is worth one instant of delay and pain, one moment of
W1:128.4  and pain, one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The worthless offer  nothing. Certainty of worth cannot be found in worthlessness.
W1:128.9 This will not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has  nothing that I want.
W1:129.6  be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds  nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want
W1:129.8  I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is  nothing that I really want.
W1:129.12 The world I see has  nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a world I want.
W1:130.5  go. The real and the unreal are all there is to choose between, and  nothing more than these.
W1:131.15  who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make today.  Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor
W1:131.15  this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought;  nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies past it
W1:132.4  you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind. The world is  nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what you
W1:133.6  is no in-between. Each choice you make brings everything to you or  nothing. Therefore, if you learn the tests by which you can
W1:133.6  if you learn the tests by which you can distinguish everything from  nothing, you will make the better choice.
W1:133.7  there and makes no offering to him who chooses it. He is deceived by  nothing in a form he thinks he likes.
W1:133.8  if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have  nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to everything,
W1:133.8  by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and  nothing more.
W1:133.13  to obtain. Choosing is easy just because of this. Complexity is  nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very simple fact that
W1:133.14  Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with  nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt
W1:135.21  our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them  nothing and could only terrify.
W1:135.25  Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you will be told of
W1:135.26  you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks  nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You
W1:135.26  It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up  nothing in these times today when undefended you present yourself to
W1:136.19  all is in the mind to what the body does. Its usefulness remains and  nothing more.
W1:136.20  by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do  nothing now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.

W1:138.3  And time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for  nothing is accomplished; nothing learned.
W1:138.3  results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished;  nothing learned.
W1:138.4  you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and  nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose instead. There
W1:138.11  we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has  nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its pseudo-being, brought to
W1:139.6  its madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is true?  Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to
W1:140.2  of a dream make in reality? One either sleeps or wakens. There is  nothing in between.
W1:140.4  all sickness. For the mind which understands that sickness can be  nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take.
W1:140.4  possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with  nothing left to which it can return.
W1:140.7  but in attributes that have no substance, no reality, no core, and  nothing that is truly different?
W1:140.9  beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing from which  nothing is exempt. We will succeed to the extent to which we realize
W1:140.12 With  nothing in our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and
W1:144.2 [128] The world I see has  nothing that I want.
W1:151.12  Itself. In everyone and everything, His Voice would speak to you of  nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will
W1:152.1  the outcomes that he wants. And no one dies without his own consent.  Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that
W1:152.1  his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and  nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your world, complete in
W1:152.3 Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and  nothing else is true. This you have heard before, but may not yet
W1:152.3  true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning.  Nothing but the truth is true, and what is false is false.
W1:155.4  of loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have chosen  nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss
W1:155.8 Such is salvation's call, and  nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it go before
W1:155.10  walking 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
W1:156.2  you are, He is. There is one Life. That Life you share with Him.  Nothing can be apart from Him and live.
W1:157.4  your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you.  Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your mind and let it rest

W1:166.1  is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding  nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless
W1:170.8  and fire seems to flame from him, he is but made of stone. He can do  nothing. We need not defy his power. He has none. And those who see
W1:170.10  the obstacles to peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is  nothing and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block,

W1:183.7 Hear  nothing else. Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No other
W1:183.12  little things of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of  nothing but the Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his
W1:184.2  by which the world's perception is achieved. You see something where  nothing is and see as well nothing where there is unity—a space
W1:184.2  is achieved. You see something where nothing is and see as well  nothing where there is unity—a space between all things, between

W1:190.5  down and bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is  nothing in the world which has the power to make you ill or sad or
W1:190.6 My holy brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does  nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your
W1:191.3  despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you  nothing but the wish to die.
W1:191.11  hear this: all power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is  nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of death, of being
W1:192.7  with thanks, and joyously accepted? We are one and therefore give up  nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we
W1:195.3  your peace, a plunderer who takes his joy from you and leaves you  nothing but a black despair so bitter and relentless that there is no
W1:195.6  thanks for every living thing, for otherwise we offer thanks for  nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of God to us.
W1:200.1  sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is  nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek
W1:200.6 What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function and does  nothing, for it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is
W2:I.7  Father and the Son, Whose holy will created all that is, can fail in  nothing. In this certainty, we undertake these last few steps to You
W2:WF.4 Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still and quietly does  nothing. It offends no aspect of reality nor seeks to twist it to
W2:WF.5 Do  nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do through Him
W2:226.1  remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I behold it,  nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will
W2:227.1  free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet  nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free because I
W2:WS.3 Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does  nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it
W2:231.1  Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek or ever sought. For there is  nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember
W2:234.1  continuity nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one.  Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and
W2:WIS.1  is not to know. And truth can be but filled with knowledge and with  nothing else.
W2:258.1  in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which offer  nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow God's grace to
W2:264.1  and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, and  nothing is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your
W2:269.1  of Christ and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me, that  nothing is except Your holy Son.
W2:WIC.5  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 need of
W2:271.1  disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death. For  nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and
W2:273.1  with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and  nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His
W2:275.2  today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over  nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go, to
W2:278.2 Father, I ask for  nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself
W2:281.1  of where Your Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt by  nothing but my thoughts. The thoughts I think with You can only
W2:284.1  is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is  nothing but a dream. Such is the truth—at first to be but said and
W2:290.1  instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness and look on  nothing else except the thing I seek.
W2:WIRW.2  world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace.  Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow
W2:WIRW.2  but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for  nothing here remains outside forgiveness. And the sights are gentle.
W2:302.2  as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing us the way. He fails in  nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by which we come to Him.
W2:307.1  is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and  nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.
W2:322.1 I sacrifice illusions,  nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the gifts illusions tried
W2:322.2  cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up  nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss
W2:328.2 There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that  nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your
W2:334.2 I seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with  nothing less than this. What then can be his solace but what You are
W2:337.1  do to know all this is mine? I must accept Atonement for myself and  nothing more. God has already done all things that need be done. And
W2:337.1  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 sinlessness,
W2:338.1  at last from fear. Now he has learned that no one frightens him and  nothing can endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is safe from all
W2:339.2 Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do  nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting
W2:344.1  upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where  nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what
W2:346.2 And when the evening comes today, we will remember  nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is
W2:353.1  in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him.  Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has
W2:358.1  to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is  nothing, but my Self is all.
W2:FL.5  We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken.  Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he
M:I.4  be? Into this hopeless and closed learning situation which teaches  nothing but despair and death, God sends His teachers. And as they

Tx:11.51  possible that the way to achieve a goal is not to attain it? Resign  now as your own teachers. This resignation will not lead to
Tx:11.93  time, and time is but an illusion. For the Son of God is guiltless  now, and the brightness of his purity shines untouched forever in
Tx:11.96  You are immortal because you are eternal and always must be  now. Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and future in your minds
Tx:12.23 And  now the reason why you are afraid of this course should be apparent.
Tx:12.27  Now has no meaning to the ego. The present merely reminds it of past
Tx:12.27  as if it were present. Thus it dictates reactions to those you meet  now from a past reference point, obscuring their present reality. In
Tx:12.27  deny yourself the message of release that every brother offers you  now.
Tx:12.30  on the only aspect of time which can extend to the infinite, for  now is the closest approximation of eternity which this world offers.
Tx:12.30  of eternity which this world offers. It is in the reality of  now, without past or future, that the beginning of the appreciation
Tx:12.30  that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity lies. For only  now is here, and it presents the opportunities for the holy
Tx:12.45  error. This means that you perceive a brother only as you see him  now. His past has no reality in the present, and you cannot see it.
Tx:12.45  to him are also not there, and if it is to them that you react  now, you see but an image of him which you made and cherish instead

Tx:12.46  as you perceived it, you will be able to learn from what you see  now. For the past can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you
Tx:12.47 This darkness is in you. The Christ revealed to you  now has no past, for He is changeless, and in His changelessness lies
Tx:12.47  past, and if you would have it past and gone, you must not see it  now. If you see it now in your delusions, it has not gone from you,

Tx:12.52 Now is the time of salvation, for  now is the release from time. Reach out to all your brothers and

Tx:15.53 God knows you  now. He remembers nothing, having always known you exactly as He
Tx:15.53  remembers nothing, having always known you exactly as He knows you  now. The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all
Tx:15.85  this there will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready  now, but you are not.
Tx:15.93  is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn  now that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation imposed on
Tx:15.94  season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of Christ be  now.
Tx:16.16  for truth? For you have come too near to truth to renounce it  now, and you will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay
Tx:16.16  and you will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay this  now but only a little while. The Host of God has called to you, and
Tx:16.31  This is the last step in the readiness for God. Be not unwilling  now. You are too near, and you will cross the bridge in perfect
Tx:16.41  almost recognized it. Turn with me firmly away from all illusions  now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last
Tx:16.65  took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you  now more than before only because you realize it is delay and that
Tx:16.67  not back with longing on the travesty it made of your relationships.  Now no one need suffer, for you have come too far to yield to the
Tx:16.71  it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it means nothing  now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you change the
Tx:16.75  been uprooted and has disappeared. The stillness and the peace of  now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. Everything is gone except the
Tx:17.20  past is made like the present. No longer does the past conflict with  now. This continuity extends the present by increasing its reality
Tx:17.24 In brief, the past is  now your justification for entering into a continuing, unholy
Tx:17.24  which the unholy alliance dictates are not perceived nor felt as  now. Yet the frame of reference to which the present is referred for
Tx:17.32 You have but little difficulty  now in realizing that the thought system which the special
Tx:17.36  to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And your defense must  now be undertaken to keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love
Tx:17.40  of Heaven and eternity grows more convincing as you look at it. And  now by real comparison a transformation of both pictures can at last
Tx:17.45  unholy condition, your goal was all that seemed to give it meaning.  Now it seems to make no sense. Many relationships have been broken
Tx:17.46  of the relationship is so apparent that they cannot coexist. Yet  now the goal will not be changed. Set firmly in the unholy
Tx:17.48  goal be set for you. That was an act of faith. Do not abandon faith,  now that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed
Tx:17.48  the Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you  now not still believe that He is there to purify what He has taken
Tx:17.48  goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For  now you find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as such
Tx:17.49  Now the ego counsels thus—substitute for this another relationship
Tx:17.49  areas of fantasy from each other to save your sanity. Hear not this  now! Have faith in Him Who answered you. He heard. Has He not been
Tx:17.49  He heard. Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not  now wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit
Tx:17.49  Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit statement?  Now He asks for faith a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this
Tx:17.49  your faith emerge to bring you shining conviction. Abandon Him not  now, nor each other. This relationship has been reborn as holy.
Tx:17.50  once sought for satisfaction and thought you found it. Forget not  now the misery you really found, and do not now breathe life into
Tx:17.50  you found it. Forget not now the misery you really found, and do not  now breathe life into your failing egos. For your relationship has
Tx:17.51  hand to walk together along a road far more familiar than you  now believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a goal
Tx:17.52  in His blessing, and withhold not yours upon it. For all it needs  now is your blessing that you may see that in it rests salvation.
Tx:17.53  grown dim in what seemed to be the light of the mistakes? You are  now entering upon a campaign to blame each other for the discomfort
Tx:17.55  the purpose that has been accepted and the means as they stand  now which seems to make you suffer, but which makes Heaven glad. If
Tx:17.57  it must be clear. The setting of the Holy Spirit's goal is general.  Now He will work with you to make it specific [for application is
Tx:17.57  look beyond each situation in an understanding far broader than you  now possess.
Tx:17.59  happen. No goal was set with which to bring the means in line. And  now the only judgment left to make is whether or not the ego likes it
Tx:17.60  The false becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation  now has meaning, but only because the goal has made it meaningful.
Tx:17.76  has been demonstrated has called for faith and has been given it.  Now it becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be withheld. The
Tx:17.78  as yours. You have assumed your part in his redemption, and you are  now fully responsible to him. Fail him not now, for it has been given
Tx:17.78  redemption, and you are now fully responsible to him. Fail him not  now, for it has been given you to realize what your lack of faith in
Tx:17.79  change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you  now withhold from it. Your release is certain. Give as you have
Tx:18.4  and subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is  now almost impossible to perceive it once was one and still is what
Tx:18.27  is this world's light. And fear must disappear before you  now. Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to
Tx:18.28  reach it. And in your desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire is  now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will.
Tx:18.30 You who are  now the bringers of salvation have the function of bringing light to
Tx:18.39  is easy just because it asks nothing that you cannot give right  now.
Tx:18.46  The power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is  now impossible for either of you to experience fear alone or to
Tx:18.48  him, or he without me. Yet it is wholly possible for us to share it  now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy
Tx:18.65  It is always remembered or anticipated, but never experienced just  now. Only its past and future make it seem real. Time controls it
Tx:18.65  as pain and nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction  now. Its whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought
Tx:18.67  together restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared.  Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far
Tx:18.67  but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable  now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should
Tx:18.69  from time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction right  now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do
Tx:18.83  would welcome you. He has waited long to give you this. Receive it  now of Him, for He would have you know Him. Only a little wall of
Tx:18.98  the bright world of new and clean perception. There is your purpose  now. And it is there that peace awaits you.
Tx:19.10  You do not use anything your brother has done before to condemn him  now. You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking past all
Tx:19.12  free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him only  now because it looks not to the past to judge him, but would see in
Tx:19.27  appeal. And suddenly you change its status from a sin to a mistake.  Now you will not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go unless
Tx:19.33  to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as its purpose  now the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon
Tx:19.35  Forget what you have seen and raise your eyes in faith to what you  now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear before your holy
Tx:19.36  have you look upon each other as yourself. Your relationship is  now a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can come
Tx:19.38  in Him. He answered you and entered your relationship. Would you not  now return His graciousness and enter into a relationship with Him?
Tx:19.41  barrier of sand still stands between you. Would you reinforce it  now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves alone. Christ asks
Tx:19.45  knows 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
Tx:19.46  can land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose  now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to
Tx:19.46  the fixed and unchangeable dedication to sin and its results.  Now it is aimless, wandering pointlessly, causing no more than tiny
Tx:19.64  limitless? The end of guilt is in your hands to give. Would you stop  now to look for guilt in each other?
Tx:19.95 And  now you stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon.
Tx:19.95  “protectors,” and your “home” will vanish. Nothing that you remember  now will you remember.
Tx:20.2  in one hand and lilies in the other, uncertain which to give. Join  now with me and throw away the thorns, offering the lilies to replace
Tx:20.8  offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them  now, and you will see your altar is no longer what it was.
Tx:20.9  And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar  now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers, only dearly loved
Tx:20.11 You have the vision  now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no
Tx:20.11  and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you  now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands
Tx:20.11  has been carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you  now. You will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you need you
Tx:20.12  entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to look nor where. And  now you know. In you the knowledge lies, ready to be unveiled and
Tx:20.14  Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened to the present.  Now is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within
Tx:20.14  is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within him.  Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt and perfectly
Tx:20.14  is free to guide you safely through them and beyond. Walk with him  now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions has come to greet you
Tx:20.15  released from crucifixion through your vision and free to lead you  now where he would be. He will not leave you nor forsake the savior
Tx:20.20  should indeed be fearful. Yet it was you who made it merciless, and  now if mercilessness seems to look back at you, it can be corrected.
Tx:20.26  us become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are  now made free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my
Tx:20.27  And where else would they go but where they will to be? Each of you  now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His
Tx:20.33  enter here to learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's plan,  now that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a
Tx:20.42  never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right  now. The past takes nothing from it, and the future will add no more.
Tx:20.44  rests in his gentle hands in safety and in peace. Let us consider  now what he must learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What
Tx:20.56  but you are not immobilized. The holy instant is of greater value  now to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have learned
Tx:20.59  the sudden change in a relationship from sin to holiness should  now be almost over. To the extent you still experience it, you are
Tx:20.67  Vision would not be necessary had judgment not been made. Desire  now its whole undoing, and it is done for you.
Tx:20.70  what God willed and gave you shall be yours. This is your purpose  now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready to be given. You
Tx:21.7  have. Listen and try to think if you remember what we will speak of  now.
Tx:21.12 And  now the blind can see, for that same song they sing in honor of their
Tx:21.13  Rejected yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it  now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this
Tx:21.18  then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the world as  now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes with it.
Tx:21.25  confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose  now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect
Tx:21.35  to vision, as all the means that once served sin are redirected  now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is limitation, and
Tx:21.40  You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them  now be given back to what produced them and can use them still to
Tx:21.43  “fearful” question is one the ego never asks. And you who ask it  now are threatening the ego's whole defensive system too seriously
Tx:21.43  truth. And your belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you  now entirely unwilling to look within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  past insanity and on to reason. And what your reason tells you  now, the ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted
Tx:21.44  ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with which you  now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. It knows no sin. How,
Tx:21.45  the birth of freedom, the acceptance of release to come to you. And  now you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy
Tx:21.47 And  now the ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other part
Tx:21.47  world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and  now it sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the
Tx:21.53  accomplished. Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you  now, being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy
Tx:21.58  question which the ego will never ask. Does not your reason tell you  now the question must have come from something that you do not know
Tx:21.83  not see he does it. And if he sees his happiness as ever changing,  now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he
Tx:21.83  he does it. And if he sees his happiness as ever changing, now this,  now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he does
Tx:21.83  if he sees his happiness as ever changing, now this, now that, and  now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he does decide against it.
Tx:21.90  is already answered and what you ask for given. Here is the future  now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what will never
Tx:22.4  [And here is sight of differences transformed to vision.] And reason  now can lead you to the logical conclusion of your union. It must
Tx:22.4  as you reached out beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And  now the sameness which you saw extends and finally removes all sense
Tx:22.11  ancient than the old illusion that it has replaced, is like a baby  now in its rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision returned to
Tx:22.20  but what they make of it is not the same. The ego will assure you  now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if
Tx:22.21  Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so.  Now must you choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not
Tx:22.22 Forsake not  now each other. For you who are the same will not decide alone nor
Tx:22.38  you cannot go ahead. You must go either one way or the other. For  now if you go straight ahead, the way you went before you reached the
Tx:22.38  purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take  now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no longer serve. No
Tx:22.40  a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that separates you  now. Yet it is almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached
Tx:22.41  and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open  now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks
Tx:22.41  you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you, will you  now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the Christ in you
Tx:22.41  veil which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary  now as once you were. How thankful will they be to see you come among
Tx:22.55  Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you bring shines  now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no fear because they
Tx:22.56  that you give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are  now His means must love all that He loves. And what you bring is your
Tx:23.3  everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful  now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and fear,
Tx:23.6  the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful  now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to
Tx:23.10  over. The journey's end is at the place of peace. Would you not  now accept the peace offered you here? This “enemy” you fought as an
Tx:23.23  this seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the Son.  Now it appears that they can never be one again. For one must always
Tx:23.23  be one again. For one must always be condemned and by the other.  Now are they different and enemies. And their relationship is one of
Tx:23.23  the other strong by his defeat. And fear of God and of each other  now appears as sensible, made real by what the Son of God has done
Tx:23.25 See how the fear of God is reinforced by this third principle.  Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now
Tx:23.25  Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For  now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is
Tx:23.25  aspect seems to be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And  now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now
Tx:23.25  And now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And  now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has become
Tx:23.29 And  now there is a vague unanswered question, not yet “explained.” What
Tx:23.29  and cunning enemy? It must be what you want but never found. And  now you “understand” the reason why you found it not. For it was
Tx:23.29  the cover for his guilt, the hiding place for what belongs to you.  Now must his body be destroyed and sacrificed that you may have that
Tx:23.32  then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness  now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity,
Tx:23.50  in any form is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is  now your purpose.
Tx:24.3  love is gone because you asked a substitute to take its place. And  now must war, the substitute for peace, come with the one alternative
Tx:24.4  decisions have been made and kept hidden to become beliefs,  now given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not
Tx:24.8  is lost to you. God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is  now the only purpose that you share. And so it is the only one you
Tx:24.10  relationship has been made clean of special goals. And would you  now defeat the goal of holiness that Heaven gave it? What perspective
Tx:24.20 You have come far along the way of truth—too far to falter  now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will
Tx:24.25  bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel  now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is
Tx:24.34  attraction. Here is death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is  now redemption, and salvation can only mean destruction of the world,
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 holds your
Tx:24.49  and turn to dust. In him is your assurance God is here and with you  now. While he is what he is, you can be sure that God is knowable and
Tx:24.60  Now you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with far less
Tx:24.62  of God's creation that takes the place of yours? And where are they,  now that the host of God has found another son which he prefers to
Tx:25.7  Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, before Him  now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you separate
Tx:25.31  what he is to you will make this choice your future? For you make it  now, the instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make
Tx:25.35  think what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you  now will seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go
Tx:25.38  For you have hurt yourself and made your Self your “enemy.” And  now you must believe you are not you but something alien to yourself
Tx:25.58  Now must he question this because the form of the alternative is one
Tx:25.71  by being separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance  now can help and save, while love stands feebly by with helpless
Tx:25.78  that sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value  now than all illusions. And you recognize that truth must be revealed
Tx:26.11  is the problem gone, because it was an error in perception which  now has been corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to
Tx:26.24  is undone by change of purpose in what once was specialness and  now is union? All illusions are but one. And in the recognition this
Tx:26.37  past that he may hear a fact in what is there to hear where he is  now? And how much can his own delusions about time and place affect a
Tx:26.37  wish that what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and  now in place of what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to
Tx:26.37  made real again and seen as here and now in place of what is really  now and here. Is this a hindrance to the truth the past is gone and
Tx:26.39  a memory of time gone by? [This course will teach you only what is  now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected,
Tx:26.39  teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past,  now perfectly corrected, is of no concern nor value. Let the dead and
Tx:26.39  peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has come to take its place. And  now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions
Tx:26.40  that he chose to die instead of live. And will you not forgive him  now because he made an error in the past that God remembers not and
Tx:26.40  made an error in the past that God remembers not and is not there?  Now you are shifting back and forth between the past and present.
Tx:26.41  is past and gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and  now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and
Tx:26.42  of time is but the mad belief that what is over is still here and  now.
Tx:26.69  And you cannot believe that trust would settle every problem  now. Thus do you think it safer to remain a little careful and a
Tx:26.69  perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers  now. The interval you think lies in between the giving and receiving
Tx:26.71 Yet space between you is apparent  now and cannot be perceived in future time. No more can it be
Tx:26.71  But present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation except  now? A future cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be
Tx:26.72  effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous  now? Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking
Tx:26.72  is looking forward, looking back but overlooking what is here and  now. Yet only here and now its cause must be if its effects already
Tx:26.72  looking back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and  now its cause must be if its effects already have been judged as
Tx:26.72  is it protected and kept separate from healing. For a miracle is  now. It stands already here in present grace, within the only
Tx:26.73  has in it all effects that you will see. They can be looked at  now. Why wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not come,
Tx:26.74  content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it  now but will some day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is
Tx:26.74  in which disaster strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but  now in form of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be
Tx:26.74  as “good” some day but now in form of pain. This is a sacrifice of  now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit asks for what He
Tx:26.76  meaning and is not your just reward. For you have cause for freedom  now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should
Tx:26.76  and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy Spirit's purpose  now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as well?
Tx:26.79  white and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of death has  now become a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It
Tx:26.79  and rendered desolate. What hate has wrought have They undone. And  now you stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and make
Tx:26.84  Now is the temple of the Living God rebuilt as host again to Him by
Tx:26.84  that They are welcome made at last. Where stood a cross stands  now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed within His sight.
Tx:26.84  the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be.  Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They
Tx:26.85  When you perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger  now is just. And thus you see what is the same as different.
Tx:27.2  come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer  now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set free. Wish
Tx:27.5  it witnessed to the guilt in him which you perceived and loved.  Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lays a
Tx:27.10  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 the mind
Tx:27.10  being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is for.  Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be given that
Tx:27.30  by the half it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And  now he stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that
Tx:27.33  it is functionless. Yet in the learning interval it has a use which  now you fear, but yet will love.
Tx:27.37  must be that time is not involved, and every problem can be answered  now. Yet it must also be that in your state of mind solution is
Tx:27.63  Now you are being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you
Tx:27.74  has come to lighten up your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful  now, for these are happy dreams.
Tx:27.81  too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. How serious they  now appear to be! And no one can remember when they would have met
Tx:27.83  world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that  now you think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for
Tx:27.90  you separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you.  Now need you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty.
Tx:28.2  its past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were occurring  now and still were there to see. Memory, like perception, is a skill
Tx:28.4  that it is hard for you to realize it is a skill that can remember  now. The limitations on remembering the world imposes on it are as
Tx:28.6  you make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the past against the  now.
Tx:28.7  what they are for. Let not the cause that you would give them  now be what it was which made them what they were or seemed to be. Be
Tx:28.7  be pardoned from. And see instead the new effects of cause accepted  now, with consequences here. They will surprise you with their
Tx:28.11  the memory of God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet  now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly
Tx:28.13  resound throughout the stillness, yet disturb it not. And what is  now remembered is not fear, but rather is the cause that fear was
Tx:28.14  Now is the Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign
Tx:28.14  Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign effects.  Now does he understand what he has made is causeless, making no
Tx:28.25  as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is seen as causeless  now, because they did not make it. And you can accept the role of
Tx:28.25  role of maker of their hate, because you see that it has no effects.  Now are you freed from this much of the dream; the world is neutral,
Tx:28.38 There is a way of finding certainty right here and  now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take,
Tx:29.5  that lies not within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For  now you think that it determines when you meet and limits your
Tx:29.5  limits your ability to make communion with each other's mind. And  now it tells you where to go and how to go there, what is feasible
Tx:29.11  be you are healed. And being healed, the power to heal must also  now be yours. The miracle is not a separate thing which happens
Tx:29.11  Nor is it in itself a cause. But where its cause is must it be.  Now is it caused, though not as yet perceived. And its effects are
Tx:29.11  And its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look inward  now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but cause indeed for
Tx:29.13  His gifts came with 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
Tx:29.14 You do not see how much you  now can give because of everything you have received. Yet He Who
Tx:29.14  on them, you will believe His Presence must be there. For what you  now can do could not be done without the love and grace His Presence
Tx:29.24  because 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
Tx:29.41  purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held seeming sway is  now restored the function God established for His Son in full
Tx:29.67  things have all been put away. And what was once a dream of judgment  now has changed into a dream where all is joy because that is the
Tx:29.67  for time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the dream are  now perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in love.
Tx:30.1 The new beginning  now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now
Tx:30.1  now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but  now you need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it
Tx:30.1  you, but they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So  now we need to practice them awhile, until they are the rules by
Tx:30.1  they are the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits  now, so you will have them ready for whatever need.
Tx:30.6 This is your major problem  now. You still make up your mind and then decide to ask what you
Tx:30.10 But there will still be times when you have judged already.  Now the answer will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out
Tx:30.10  This means you have decided by yourself and cannot see the question.  Now you need a quick restorative before you ask.
Tx:30.16 At least I can decide I do not like what I feel  now.
Tx:30.21  Now you have reached the turning point, because it has occurred to
Tx:30.21  your happiness depends on being right. But this much reason have you  now attained—you would be better off if you were wrong.
Tx:30.24  Now you have changed your mind about the day and have remembered what
Tx:30.27 Thus you  now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make
Tx:30.34  never lose your will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it  now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your will. God
Tx:30.35  born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established there.  Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and yours as
Tx:30.37  heal him, and because you have decided with him, he is healed. And  now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your brother as a
Tx:30.50  him. And he is afraid because he thought the rules protected him.  Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke
Tx:30.58  grasped and welcomed, and the means by which it can be gained can  now be understood. The world becomes a place of hope because its only
Tx:30.64  For He Whose hand you hold was waiting but for you to join Him.  Now that you have come, would He delay in showing you the way that He
Tx:30.82  script you write for every minute in the day, and all that happens  now means something else. You take away another element, and every
Tx:30.89  you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and  now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and
Tx:31.1  simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true  now and never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have
Tx:31.3  is no greater power in the world. The world was made by it and even  now depends on nothing else. The lessons you have taught yourselves
Tx:31.5  to demonstrate, and you have learned what it was made to teach.  Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice
Tx:31.8  world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And  now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by forms the
Tx:31.12  thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of anyone.  Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to learn of him and learn
Tx:31.12  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 again to him without
Tx:31.12  to him without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him.  Now is he free to live, as you are free because an ancient learning
Tx:31.36  who still believe there is another answer to be found. Learn  now, without despair, there is no hope of answer in the world. But do
Tx:31.36  No longer look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning  now, and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you
Tx:31.48  ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has  now become his sin. For this is no forgiveness possible. No longer
Tx:31.50  seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself.  Now must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of
Tx:31.50  else. For otherwise you would be asked to make exchange of what you  now believe for total loss of self, and greater terror would arise in
Tx:31.51  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? And did he
Tx:31.55  by your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for  now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. And you must
Tx:31.55  him in the image of your own. While only he was treacherous before,  now must you be condemned along with him.
Tx:31.63  as he was an instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is  now an instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is
Tx:31.71  given you. For your forgiveness, offered unto him, has been accepted  now for both of you.
Tx:31.72  is asked. On its behalf, remember what the concept of yourself which  now you hold has brought you in its wake, and welcome the glad
Tx:31.73 The concept of yourself which  now you hold would guarantee your function here remain forever
Tx:31.75  beholds this One. For there is light where darkness was before, and  now the veil is lifted from his sight.
Tx:31.87  presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you  now can make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you
Tx:31.97 And  now we say “Amen.” For Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set
W1:I.3  two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of what you see  now and the second with the restoration of sight. It is recommended
W1:1.1  Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very
W1:3.2  all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you  now, and to realize how little you really understand about them. It
W1:9.4 I do not see this typewriter as it is  now. I do not see this key as it is now. I do not see this telephone
W1:9.4  not see this typewriter as it is now. I do not see this key as it is  now. I do not see this telephone as it is now.
W1:9.4  not see this key as it is now. I do not see this telephone as it is  now.
W1:9.6 I do not see that coat rack as it is  now. I do not see that face as it is now. I do not see that door as
W1:9.6  not see that coat rack as it is now. I do not see that face as it is  now. I do not see that door as it is now.
W1:9.6  I do not see that face as it is now. I do not see that door as it is  now.
W1:10.2  no link is made overtly with the things around you. The emphasis is  now on the lack of reality of what you think you think.
W1:10.3  and then stressed their past rather than their present status.  Now we are emphasizing that the presence of these “thoughts” means
W1:10.5 This idea will help to release me from all that I  now believe.
W1:10.9 This idea will help to release me from all that I  now believe.
W1:12.8  Beneath your words is written the Word of God. The truth upsets you  now, but when your words have been erased, you will see His. That is
W1:15.2  little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see  now. That is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that
W1:19.5  subjects for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by  now and will no longer be repeated each day, although it will
W1:20.2  You want to be happy. You want peace. You do not have them  now because your mind is totally undisciplined, and you cannot
W1:20.2  between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear. You are  now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed will be your
W1:20.4  idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see  now. Therefore, as you repeat the idea, you are stating that you are
W1:23.4  Vision already holds a replacement for everything you think you see  now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you
W1:25.3 Another way of describing the goals you  now perceive as valuable is to say that they are all concerned with
W1:26.1  is this law that will ultimately save you. But you are misusing it  now. You must therefore learn how it can be used for your own best
W1:28.1  is not our concern here. If you are willing at least to make them  now, you have started on the way to keeping them. And we are still at
W1:29.3  with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You do not see them  now. Would you know what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you.
W1:29.4 Our six two-minute practice periods for today should follow a  now familiar pattern: begin with repeating the idea to yourself, and
W1:30.3  and trying to realize that the idea applies to everything you do see  now or could see now if it were within the range of your sight.
W1:30.3  that the idea applies to everything you do see now or could see  now if it were within the range of your sight.
W1:34.6 I could see peace in this situation instead of what I  now see in it.
W1:35.1 Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself  now. It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is
W1:39.4  is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked  now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of
W1:44.5  you practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you  now believe and all the thoughts which you have made up. Properly
W1:45.9  you thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your mind  now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind, exactly
W1:47.6  Now try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of
W1:R1.6  statements nor to apply the ideas as was suggested then. We are  now emphasizing the relationships among the first fifty of the ideas
W1:51.2  that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see  now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by realizing that
W1:51.4  what can be seen and understood and loved. I can exchange what I see  now for this merely by being willing to do so. Is not this a better
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is  now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is  now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is
W1:52.5  now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is  now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present: it is
W1:52.5  whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision.  Now I would choose again that I may see.
W1:53.4  it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it.  Now I choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality.
W1:55.2 [21] I am determined to see things differently. What I see  now are but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be
W1:55.4  and joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I look on  now.
W1:56.4  and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it  now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind
W1:59.5  Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong.  Now it is given me to understand that God is the Light in which I
W1:60.4  I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see  now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I
W1:62.2  having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator.  Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this, attack must
W1:65.14  and sometimes keep them open and look about you. It is what you see  now that will be totally changed when you accept today's idea
W1:68.7 Determine  now to see all these people as friends. Say to them all collectively,
W1:69.1  is lifted, you are released with him. Share your salvation  now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your
W1:69.4 Very quietly  now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content which
W1:69.6  remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you today— now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch them in
W1:70.12  Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your
W1:72.9  you, locked away from your awareness by the body's limitations.  Now we are going to try to see this differently.
W1:72.11  plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize.  Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan
W1:72.14  We have used our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears.  Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask
W1:73.11  of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is  now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to look
W1:75.2  ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams  now. The light has come. Today the time of light begins for you and
W1:75.4  rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us,  now that the light has come.
W1:75.7  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 what it looks
W1:75.9  the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you  now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch
W1:78.7  in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you  now consider him. We will review his faults, the difficulties you
W1:78.11 Be very quiet  now and look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances obscure the
W1:79.3 That is the position in which you find yourselves  now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the
W1:80.5  Now let the peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close
W1:R2.1 We are  now ready for another review. We will begin where our last review
W1:89.2  grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond.  Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have that
W1:92.9  in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting  now to meet itself again and be as one.
W1:93.2  have bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is true by what you  now believe.
W1:94.5  Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never
W1:94.6  that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking  now. You cannot fail because He cannot fail.
W1:95.4  if it undertakes extended attempts. You have surely realized this by  now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and
W1:96.6  itself as helpless, limited, and weak. Dissociated from its function  now, it thinks it is alone and separate, attacked by armies massed
W1:96.6  armies massed against itself and hiding in the body's frail support.  Now must it reconcile unlike with like, for this is what it thinks
W1:99.1  the impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict  now between what is and what could never be.
W1:99.2 Truth and illusions both are equal  now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you
W1:99.7 Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the plan was given.  Now are you entrusted with this plan, along with Him. He has one
W1:100.9  Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world
W1:100.9  us. It is your function that you find it here and that you find it  now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed!
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
W1:101.10 Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and  now today's idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still
W1:102.1  that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is surely shaken  now, at least enough to let you question it and to suspect it really
W1:102.5  God's Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function  now.
W1:102.7  minute rests, pause frequently today to tell yourself that you have  now accepted happiness as your one function. And be sure that you are
W1:104.3 These are the gifts which are within us  now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They
W1:104.3  have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we will to have them  now and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite
W1:105.9  and let your mind be free of all that would prevent success today.  Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God has
W1:105.9  ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God has given you.  Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied
W1:105.9  you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself.  Now you can say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you have given
W1:106.8 Today we practice giving, not the way you understand it  now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should begin with this
W1:107.3  a hundred times and then be multiplied another hundred more. And  now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of
W1:107.4  are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is everywhere forever  now.
W1:107.7 Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance  now and then in that, evading capture and escaping grasp. It does not
W1:108.1  the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And  now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over now.
W1:108.1  its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over  now.
W1:108.9  and to receive are one in truth. I will receive what I am giving  now.
W1:108.13  understood from this time on, and we will make much faster progress  now. Think of the exercises for today as quick advances in your
W1:109.4  hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to God and  now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you.
W1:109.6  and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will come  now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from dreams
W1:109.8  thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary  now to go their way alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing
W1:R3.14  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 these
W1:121.7  hell through you and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and  now. It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you
W1:121.11  Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while.
W1:121.12  you learned to see around your former “enemy” to him. Perceive him  now as more than friend to you, for in that light his holiness shows
W1:121.12  your “enemy” and friend unite in blessing you with what you gave.  Now are you one with them and they with you. Now have you been
W1:121.12  you with what you gave. Now are you one with them and they with you.  Now have you been forgiven by yourself.
W1:122.7  Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. Accept salvation  now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The world can give no
W1:122.10  reached the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. And  now the way is short that yet we travel. We are close indeed to the
W1:122.12  and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture.  Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts which have
W1:123.2 A day devoted  now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real
W1:124.6  times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them  now. Their thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart
W1:124.7  that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted and we  now would give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we
W1:126.1  by which salvation comes to you and would not hesitate to use it  now.
W1:126.12  to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me  now. And I will trust in Him.
W1:127.7  this. For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in which you  now believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold
W1:127.10  aside the world they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy.  Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all our
W1:127.10  hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made free along with us.  Now are they all our brothers in God's Love.
W1:129.5  yet how 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
W1:129.5  exchange it for the world you want. Now is the last step certain;  now you stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you
W1:129.11  Now do we understand there is no loss, for we have seen its opposite
W1:131.7  the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is  now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from
W1:131.9  He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present  now beyond the reach of time.
W1:131.15  it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has any meaning  now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door
W1:131.15  today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued  now nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only
W1:132.2  is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it.  Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your mind means
W1:132.3  thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The present  now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set free.
W1:132.8  are prepared to learn there is no world and can accept the lesson  now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which
W1:132.10 A lesson earlier repeated once must  now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for
W1:134.9  Now are you free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up
W1:134.11  dream by understanding what he thought he saw was never there. And  now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied to him.
W1:134.18 Let him be freed from all the thoughts you had of sin in him. And  now you are prepared for freedom. If you have been practicing thus
W1:135.17  its choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and  now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the
W1:135.27  And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness.  Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without
W1:135.27  death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for  now you come without defense to learn the part for you within the
W1:136.8  mind and all your world appears to totter and prepare to fall.  Now are you sick that truth may go away and threaten your
W1:136.14  For it lets you think what God has given you is not the truth right  now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from time.
W1:136.19  Now is the body healed because the source of sickness has been opened
W1:136.20  and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing  now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.
W1:137.16  take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined.  Now we come together to make well all that was sick and offer
W1:138.7  choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose,  now transformed from the intent you gave it, that it be a means for
W1:138.9  are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as causeless.  Now are they without effects. They cannot be concealed because their
W1:138.11  is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. It holds no terror  now, for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate demands
W1:138.11  pitiless with hate demands obscurity for fear to be invested there.  Now it is recognized as but a foolish, trivial mistake.
W1:138.12  we reaffirm the choice that we have made each hour in between. And  now we give the last five minutes of our waking day to the decision
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it  now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
W1:140.1  One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient  now perceives himself as well.
W1:140.4  makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness  now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.
W1:140.11  delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him  now. We come to Him today.
W1:R4.1  Now we review again, this time aware we are preparing for the second
W1:R4.1  in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we would  now achieve.
W1:R4.10  close your eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry  now, for you are using time for its intended purpose. Let each word
W1:R4.12  you in the peace wherein He wills you be forever and are learning  now to claim again as your inheritance.
W1:151.8  sinlessness. Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling  now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses
W1:151.16  is the world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt.  Now do we lift our resurrected minds in gladness and in gratitude to
W1:151.17  accepts our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure.  Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the
W1:152.8  awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is  now. And it will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp
W1:152.11  to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as our own.  Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only
W1:153.2  to weakness and sets up a system of defense that cannot work.  Now are the weak still further undermined, for there is treachery
W1:153.2  treachery without and still a greater treachery within. The mind is  now confused and knows not where to turn to find escape from its
W1:153.7  the Christ and come to fear His Father's anger. What can save you  now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you
W1:153.7  in all the evils of the world? What but illusions could defend you  now, when it is but illusions which you fight?
W1:153.9  all thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning.  Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind. And
W1:153.9  in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety  now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as
W1:153.13  in terror in a fearful world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy  now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has come in which we put
W1:153.13  world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over.  Now a quiet time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and
W1:153.15  our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes  now becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which
W1:153.20  pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will  now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind
W1:154.4  all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless.  Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it and of His
W1:154.8  of God? For thus do you become His messengers. You are appointed  now. And yet you wait to give the messages you have received, and so
W1:154.9 You who are  now the messengers of God receive His messages, for that is part of
W1:154.15  are true. They are the message sent to us today from our Creator.  Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves
W1:155.5  both are quickly left behind. This is the way appointed for you  now. You walk this path as others walk, nor do you seem to be
W1:155.6  which you bring their eyes to look on and their minds to grasp.  Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through
W1:155.6  speak to them through illusion, for the road leads past illusion  now, while on the way you call to them that they may follow you.
W1:155.9 Walk safely  now, yet carefully because this path is new to you. And you may find
W1:155.9  you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It goes before you  now, that they may see something with which they can identify,
W1:155.12  the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us  now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What
W1:155.14 And  now He asks but that you think of Him a while each day that He may
W1:156.7  Companion, and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient dream that  now is past.
W1:157.2  crucial turning point in the curriculum. We add a new dimension  now—a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have
W1:157.4 He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for  now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this day,
W1:157.6 Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being  now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the
W1:157.8  will come when you will not return in the same form in which you  now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose
W1:157.8  form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet  now it has a purpose and will serve it well. Today we will embark
W1:157.9 Into Christ's Presence will we enter  now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and
W1:159.2  is no miracle you cannot give, for all are given you. Receive them  now by opening the storehouse of your mind where they are laid and
W1:159.9  one they came from and to which they go again with added fragrance.  Now are they twice blessed. The messages they brought from Christ
W1:160.2  comes and yet maintains his home belongs to him, while he is alien  now who is at home.
W1:160.5  more like me than myself and give him all I thought belonged to me.”  Now is he exiled of necessity, not knowing who he is, uncertain of
W1:160.6 What does he search for  now? What can he find? A stranger to himself can find no home
W1:160.6  a miracle will search him out and show him that he is no stranger  now. The miracle will come. For in his home his Self remains. It
W1:160.7  the stranger? Is he not the one your Self calls not? You are unable  now to recognize this stranger in your midst, for you have given him
W1:161.1  is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by, and Heaven  now restored. Here is the answer of the Voice of God.
W1:161.2  abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part of it is  now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees instead
W1:161.3 Thus were specifics made. And  now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them to the
W1:161.11  in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer  now, and you will come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are
W1:161.12  he makes so frequently. Then think of this—what you are seeing  now conceals from you the sight of one who can forgive you all your
W1:161.15  will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him  now whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that
W1:162.4  the mind of him who uses them. So wholly is it changed that it is  now the treasury in which God places all His gifts and all His Love
W1:162.5 We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you  now accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone,
W1:162.6 And who would not be brother to you  now—you, his redeemer and his savior. Who could fail to welcome you
W1:163.8  you will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it  now in every form for their salvation and our own as well. God made
W1:164.1 What time but  now can truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is.
W1:164.1  The present is the only time there is. And so today, this instant,  now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight,
W1:164.5  vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies beyond them.  Now is what is really there made visible, while all the shadows which
W1:164.5  while all the shadows which appeared to hide it sink to obscurity.  Now is the balance righted and the scales of judgment left to Him Who
W1:164.5  judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes.  Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its
W1:164.5  before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ.  Now is its transformation clear to you.
W1:164.8  us and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision,  now our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go
W1:165.5  sought. What would you then exchange it for? What would induce you  now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision? For this sight
W1:165.6  Now is all doubting past, the journey's end made certain, and
W1:165.6  past, the journey's end made certain, and salvation given you.  Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For
W1:165.6  Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For  now you are among the saviors of the world. Your destiny lies there
W1:166.9 Your ancient fear has come upon you  now, and justice has caught up with you at last. Christ's hand has
W1:166.11  Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is
W1:166.11 Now do we live, for  now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that
W1:166.11  The wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it  now has been replaced by vision which perceives that you are not what
W1:166.12  you have 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
W1:166.13  understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them  now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to
W1:166.14 Your sighs will  now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release. Your
W1:166.15  accept His gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission  now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have
W1:166.15  to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And  now you go to share it with the world.
W1:167.12  in the holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we  now and will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it sees its
W1:167.12  Lord of Life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there. And  now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected
W1:167.12  reflected and the light which makes reflection possible. No vision  now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its
W1:168.4 God loves His Son. Request Him  now to give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision
W1:168.4  every face as hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs. What  now remains that Heaven be delayed an instant longer? What remains
W1:168.7 Your grace is given me. I claim it  now. Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am
W1:169.5  them and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is  now aware of something not itself. It has united with its Source, and
W1:169.7  that the time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is  now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you will offer was
W1:169.8  constant state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is  now. We merely take the part assigned long since and fully recognized
W1:169.9  of your oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood.  Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond
W1:169.11 And  now we ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience
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 your
W1:170.4  For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien,  now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are.
W1:170.10  is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested  now with cruelty.
W1:170.11  fear perceive their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as  now a part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of
W1:170.13  Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now
W1:170.13 Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them.  Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart
W1:170.13  through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And  now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place
W1:170.13  are restored to you at last. The Call of God is heard and answered.  Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:170.14  are one with us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it  now. And we give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we
W1:R5.1 We  now review again. This time we are ready to give more effort and more
W1:R5.1  walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets forth. But  now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer
W1:R5.3  off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps  now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we
W1:R5.4  and true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share and  now prepare to know again:
W1:R5.8  see, but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out and  now will lead you out with him. God's Son is crucified until you walk
W1:R5.9  the light in him and looks for me. I have forgotten no one. Help me  now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another
W1:R5.12  Hallowed your name. Your glory undefiled forever. And your wholeness  now complete, as God established it. You are His Son, completing His
W1:174.2 [157] Into His Presence would I enter  now. 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
W1:179.3 [168] Your grace is given me. I claim it  now. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:I2.1  total dedication all the time, as yet. But you are asked to practice  now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment
W1:I2.2 Our lessons  now are geared specifically to widening horizons and direct
W1:I2.2  too limited to let you see the value of our goal. We are attempting  now to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words alone cannot convey
W1:I2.3  denied. It may be there, but you cannot accept its presence. So we  now attempt to go past all defenses for a little while each day. No
W1:181.2  this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision  now will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the
W1:181.3  for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it with no concern but  now.
W1:181.5  to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us  now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to look
W1:181.10  into the present. And we give our trust to the experience we ask for  now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is our
W1:182.4  The childhood of your body and its place of shelter are a memory  now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a past that never
W1:182.12  accept it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have made. And  now the way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at last. Be
W1:183.11  He calls on Him to let all things he thought he made be nameless  now, and in their place the holy Name of God becomes his judgment of
W1:183.12 All little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless  now. The little things of earth have disappeared. The universe
W1:184.14  which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them.  Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as we receive.
W1:185.5  which bring illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting.  Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would
W1:185.8  dismayed by lingering illusions, for their form is not what matters  now. Let not some dreams be more acceptable, reserving shame and
W1:186.12  given you by your Creator, Who remembers you and urges that you  now remember Him.
W1:187.3  look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning.  Now you can perceive that by your giving is your store increased.
W1:187.8  must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it  now is yours to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can
W1:187.10  Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the
W1:187.11  Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked
W1:187.11 Now are we blessed, and  now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for
W1:188.1  seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them  now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light
W1:188.3 The peace of God is shining in you  now and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress
W1:188.5  he recognized the truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you  now and in all living things. In quietness is it acknowledged
W1:188.8  home. We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. But  now we call them back and wash them clean of strange desires and
W1:188.9  it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it.  Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to
W1:188.10 The peace of God is shining in me  now. Let all things shine upon me in that peace, and let me bless
W1:189.1  your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice  now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew,
W1:189.10  be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven  now. Amen.
W1:190.5  will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful  now becomes a source of innocence and holiness.
W1:192.4  the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can  now replace the senseless symbols written there before. Forgiveness
W1:192.4  the fear of death is overcome because it holds no fierce attraction  now, and guilt is gone.
W1:192.10  your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the way to freedom  now. Deny him not. His Father's Love for him belongs to you. Your
W1:192.10  He is as God created him. And you are what he is. Forgive him  now his sins, and you will see that you are one with him.
W1:193.4  mind of His most holy Son with peace and joy fulfills His function  now. He redirects each lesson you would teach in hate to one in which
W1:193.4  enters, and returns the hate to love, so that the fear is gone. And  now guilt cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the
W1:193.12  forget His Love and all the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you  now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple
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 house. We have
W1:194.1  with certainty the final step of God. How far are we progressing  now from earth! How close are we approaching to our goal! How short
W1:194.4  well because the past will punish you no more and future dread will  now be meaningless.
W1:194.5  light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the world.  Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made free with
W1:194.9  Now are we saved indeed. For in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure
W1:195.2  a prison that they thought contained no door to the deliverance they  now perceive.
W1:195.3  despair so bitter and relentless that there is no hope remaining.  Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but try to
W1:195.3  is no hope remaining. Now is vengeance all there is to wish for.  Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as
W1:195.8  aside. What more remains as obstacles to peace? The fear of God is  now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot
W1:196.8  by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not  now believe that fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had
W1:196.11  Now for an instant is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your
W1:197.9  be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of God. Earn  now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the
W1:198.1  can injure, and the right you have established for yourself can be  now used against you till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted, and
W1:198.1  be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can  now receive the gift you gave.
W1:198.13  Now is there silence all around the world. Now is there stillness
W1:198.13 Now is there silence all around the world.  Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of
W1:198.13  before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense.  Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth, made quiet in a
W1:198.13  light across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And  now the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived
W1:198.15  far and recognize that He Who brought us here will not forsake us  now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us through
W1:198.15  would give to us the gift that God has given us through Him today.  Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has
W1:199.6  freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's purpose  now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to serve an
W1:199.7  afraid. Let love replace their fears through you. Accept salvation  now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to
W1:200.8  journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors.  Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom
W1:200.10  Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have come to where the
W1:200.10  desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought before.  Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, with
W1:200.10  Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer  now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft
W1:R6.11  you call to Him to help you. Let us offer Him the whole review we  now begin, and let us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we
W1:208.1 [188] The peace of God is shining in me  now. I will be still and let the earth be still along with me. And in
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
W1:214.1  future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the future is not yet.  Now am I freed from both. For what God gives can only be for good.
W2:I.1 Words will mean little  now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now
W2:I.1  will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not  now depend. For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The
W2:I.1  now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For  now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which
W2:I.1  the times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter peace.  Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and find the end
W2:I.2  Now we attempt to let the exercise be merely a beginning. For we wait
W2:I.2  are sure His promises are kept. We have come far along the road, and  now we wait for Him. We will continue spending time with Him each
W2:I.2  as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration  now. We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire.
W2:I.4  Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts.
W2:I.4  will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will  now be spent. We say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests,
W2:I.5  Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled. Now are all ancient promises
W2:I.5 Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled.  Now are all ancient promises upheld and fully kept. No step remains
W2:I.5  No step remains for time to separate from its accomplishment. For  now we cannot fail. Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has
W2:I.6  exchange 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
W2:I.7 And  now we wait in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have
W2:I.7  but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not forget us  now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your
W2:I.9  make of Him. And we believed that our insane desires were the truth.  Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think
W2:I.10  Now is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section
W2:I.10  the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it started.  Now it is complete. This year has brought us to eternity.
W2:I.11  blessed instants in the day. We give the first of these instructions  now.
W2:WF.1  and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is  now the Will of God.
W2:WF.5  has forgiven you already, for such is His function given Him by God.  Now must you share His function and forgive whom He has saved, whose
W2:221.2  Now do we wait in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am
W2:222.2  upon our lips and in our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence  now and ask to rest with You in peace a while.
W2:223.1  which moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body.  Now I know my life is God's. I have no other home, and I do not exist
W2:224.2  where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father,  now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me
W2:225.2 Brother, we find that stillness  now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace together. You have
W2:225.2 Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open.  Now we follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me,
W2:226.1  the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it  now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the
W2:227.1  mistaken and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions.  Now I give them up and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be
W2:229.1  and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.”  Now need I seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still it waited for
W2:230.1  is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever.  Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is
W2:230.2  You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here  now, for my creation was apart from time and still remains beyond all
W2:WS.2  of the mind that still was one but failed to recognize its oneness.  Now it did not know itself and thought its own Identity was lost.
W2:WS.3  it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what they hid is  now revealed—an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is
W2:WS.4  by God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding  now, and birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is
W2:WS.5  dreams are done, eternity has shined away the world, and only Heaven  now exists at all.
W2:WIW.1  truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish.  Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.
W2:WIW.2  cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely.  Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone.
W2:WIW.3 The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And  now they go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to
W2:241.1  This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united  now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today.
W2:241.2 We have forgiven one another  now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never
W2:248.1 I have disowned the truth.  Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is
W2:248.1  was never living in reality and did but mock the truth about myself.  Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of
W2:248.1  disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God.  Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he is.
W2:248.2  lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me.  Now is Your Love remembered and my own. Now do I understand that they
W2:248.2  I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my own.  Now do I understand that they are one.
W2:249.1  no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is  now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a
W2:249.1  a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is  now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the Light
W2:249.2  bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death.  Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.
W2:WIS.2  Its purpose is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And  now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for
W2:WIS.2  now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for  now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the
W2:251.1 I sought for many things and found despair.  Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I
W2:251.1  not and did not even want. My only need I did not recognize. But  now I see that I need only truth. In that, all needs are satisfied,
W2:251.1  cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone.  Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I
W2:251.1  and dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need.  Now have I everything that I could want. And now at last I find
W2:251.1  that I could need. Now have I everything that I could want. And  now at last I find myself at peace.
W2:252.1 My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I  now conceive. Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant
W2:252.2 Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it  now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You and
W2:254.2  with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent  now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and
W2:260.2  Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity
W2:WIB.4  to reach his brother and to help him walk along the road with him.  Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made
W2:WIB.4  and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy.  Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.
W2:267.1  fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness.  Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me.
W2:270.1  more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And  now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your own, and

W2:WIC.5  face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning  now is over and the goal of the Atonement has been reached at last?
W2:273.1 Perhaps we are  now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet
W2:279.1  his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place. And  now is freedom his already. Should I wait in chains which have been
W2:279.1  which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom  now?
W2:283.2  Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only
W2:289.1  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 past, and if it
W2:WIRW.5 The Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose.  Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His final
W2:WISC.4  For everyone who ever came to die or yet will come or who is present  now is equally released from what he made. In this equality is Christ
W2:302.1  We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created.  Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for
W2:308.1  future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is  now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The
W2:308.1  instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is  now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present
W2:308.1  it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and  now.
W2:308.2 Thanks for this instant, Father. It is  now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for
W2:WILJ.1  you see a world which has accepted this as true, projected from a  now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a
W2:WILJ.2  forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. Without a cause and  now without a function in Christ's sight, it merely slips away to
W2:WILJ.2  the figures in the dream in which the world began go with it. Bodies  now are useless and will therefore fade away because the Son of God
W2:313.1  all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon.  Now let His true perception come to me that I may waken from the
W2:314.1  world there comes a future very different from the past. The future  now is recognized as but extension of the present. Past mistakes can
W2:314.1  being formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future  now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily
W2:314.1  it has no effects. Death will not claim the future now, for life is  now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided. Who can
W2:314.2  were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to be free.  Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our past
W2:315.2  Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me.  Now may I offer them my thankfulness that gratitude to them may lead
W2:321.1  I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me.  Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor
W2:323.2  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, for fear
W2:332.2  has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would release it  now. For as we offer freedom, it is given us. And we would not remain
W2:337.1  for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me,  now already mine, to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to
W2:337.2  sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. Father, my dream is ended  now. Amen.
W2:338.1  For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear.  Now he has learned that no one frightens him and nothing can endanger
W2:WIM.2  before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest.  Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as
W2:WIM.2  distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth.  Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
W2:WIM.5  and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures came to die.  Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs
W2:WIM.5  starved and thirsty creatures came to die. Now they have water.  Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up to
W2:342.2 Brother, forgive me  now. I come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the world
W2:WAI.2 Our use for words is almost over  now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together,
W2:WAI.5  We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered.  Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open
W2:355.1  waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. Even  now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant
W2:FL.5  the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven  now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God
W2:E.4 And  now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him
W2:E.4  you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He will continue;  now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as
M:1.4  it is time alone that winds on wearily, and the world is very tired  now. It is old and worn and without hope. There was never a question
M:2.3  the world of illusion. What happened long ago seems to be happening  now. Choices made long since appear to be open, yet to be made. What
M:2.4  that is relived again and again and still again, it seems to be  now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem to come together in
M:2.4  because he made the right choice in that ancient instant which he  now relives. So has the teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out
M:4.6  learned that the changes in his life are always helpful, he must  now decide all things on the basis of whether they increase the
M:4.8  Now comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which
M:4.8  time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace.  Now he consolidates his learning. Now he begins to see the transfer
M:4.8  rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates his learning.  Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its
M:4.8  Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is  now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way
M:4.8  he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions beside him.  Now he rests a while and gathers them before going on. He will not go
M:4.9 The next stage is indeed a “period of unsettling.”  Now must the teacher of God understand that he did not really know
M:4.9  for him to judge. He thought he had learned willingness, but  now he sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. And
M:4.9  now he sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. And  now he must attain a state that may remain impossible for a long,
M:4.10  a “period of achievement.” It is here that learning is consolidated.  Now what was seen as merely shadows before becomes solid gains, to be
M:4.16  the inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is  now impossible, and what could come to interfere with joy? The open
M:4.20  right as is the answer. And this is true for everything that happens  now or in the future. The past as well held no mistakes—nothing
M:4.24  they could never have conceived of such a change. Nothing is  now as it was formerly. Nothing but sparkles now which seemed so dull
M:4.24  a change. Nothing is now as it was formerly. Nothing but sparkles  now which seemed so dull and lifeless before. And above all are all
M:4.24  for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the face of Christ.  Now is the goal achieved. Forgiveness is the final goal of the
M:5.3  is. But if he chooses death himself, his weakness is his strength.  Now has he given himself what God would give to him and thus entirely
M:5.7  What do guilt and sickness, pain, disaster, and all suffering mean  now? Having no purpose, they are gone. And with them also go all the
M:7.1  concerned about the result of healing is to limit the healing. It is  now the teacher of God himself whose mind needs to be healed. And it
M:7.1  mind needs to be healed. And it is this he must facilitate. He is  now the patient, and he must so regard himself. He has made a mistake
M:7.2  maximal, because the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used it.  Now the teacher of God has only one course to follow. He must use his
M:10.3  that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests,  now and in the future. Who is in a position to do this? Who except in
M:10.5  lay judgment down, not with regret but with a sigh of gratitude.  Now are you free of a burden so great that you could merely stagger
M:10.5  and fall down beneath it. And it was all illusion. Nothing more.  Now can the teacher of God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on.
M:10.5  with judgment. He gave himself to Him Whose judgment he has chosen  now to trust instead of his own. Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide
M:10.5  to Him Whose judgment he has chosen now to trust instead of his own.  Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide is sure. And where he came to
M:10.5  Guide is sure. And where he came to judge, he comes to bless. Where  now he laughs, he used to come to weep.
M:10.6  sickening despair and fear of death—all these have come of it. And  now he knows that these things need not be. Not one is true. For he
M:11.4  to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous answer. Peace  now belongs here, because a thought of God has entered. What else but
M:11.4  gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer to raise it up again.  Now is the question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be
M:12.1  the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly spirit  now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a body. Therefore
M:12.2  a change of mind. Nothing external alters, but everything internal  now reflects only the Love of God. God can no longer be feared, for
M:12.2  minds are one; their joining is complete. And God works through them  now as One, for that is what they are.
M:12.5  is. He does not suffer either in going or remaining. Sickness is  now impossible to him.

M:14.1  and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for  now it has no purpose and is gone. The father of illusions is the
M:14.5  for what they teach are lessons in which Heaven is reflected. And  now sit down in true humility and realize that all God would have you
M:15.2  forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world and where is sorrow  now?
M:17.5  of guilt. Who usurps the place of God and takes it for himself  now has a deadly “enemy.” And he must stand alone in his protection
M:17.7 But what will  now be your reaction to all magic thoughts? They can but reawaken
M:17.7  has guilt already raised madness to the throne of God Himself. And  now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is salvation now. An angry
M:17.7  Himself. And now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is salvation  now. An angry Father pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be killed, for
M:17.8  never justified. Once this is even dimly grasped, the way is open.  Now it is possible to take the next step. The interpretation can be
M:17.9  yet is the anger certain witness that you do believe in it as fact.  Now is escape impossible until you see you have responded to your own
M:17.9  projected on an outside world. Let this grim sword be taken from you  now. There is no death. This sword does not exist. The fear of God is
M:18.2  the truth about themselves. Through them, the Holy Spirit can  now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now He can remind the
M:18.2  the Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son of God.  Now He can remind the world of sinlessness, the one unchanged,
M:18.2  the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of all that God created.  Now He can speak the Word of God to listening ears and bring Christ's
M:18.2  to listening ears and bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see.  Now is He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they
M:18.2  truth of what they are, so they will gladly be returned to Him. And  now is guilt forgiven, overlooked completely in His sight and in
M:18.3  belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The body's eyes  now “see”; its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space and
M:19.4  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 do
M:19.5  rests, the mind is still, and light returns again. Vision is  now restored. What had been lost has now been found. The peace of God
M:19.5  light returns again. Vision is now restored. What had been lost has  now been found. The peace of God descends on all the world and we can
M:20.3  Yet when peace is found, the war is meaningless. And it is conflict  now that is perceived as non-existent and unreal.
M:20.4  will certainly return. War is again accepted as the one reality.  Now must you once again lay down your sword, although you may not
M:20.4  picked it up again. But you will learn, as you remember even faintly  now what happiness was yours without it, that you must have taken it
M:20.4  that you must have taken it again as your defense. Stop for a moment  now and think of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's peace
M:20.6  reality. In truth there is no conflict, because His Will is yours.  Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to you. He does not
M:22.5  correct mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step back  now, teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you
M:22.7  where healing should be given and where it should be withheld.  Now can he say with God, “This is my beloved Son, created perfect and
M:23.2  doing he has recognized all living things as part of him. There is  now no limit on his power, because it is the Power of God. So has his
M:23.6  him, for he did not go alone. And you were with him then, as you are  now.
M:24.2  would not, under any circumstances, be the problem to be dealt with  now. If it were responsible for some of the difficulties the
M:24.2  were responsible for some of the difficulties the individual faces  now, his task would still be only to escape from them now. If he is
M:24.2  faces now, his task would still be only to escape from them  now. If he is laying the groundwork for a future life, he can still
M:24.2  for a future life, he can still work out his salvation only  now. To some there may be comfort in the concept, and if it heartens
M:24.6  in the future. Heaven is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is  now. There is no other time. No teaching that does not lead to this
M:25.5  Yet, given a remaining wish to be deceived, deception is made easy.  Now the “power” is no longer a genuine ability and cannot be used
M:27.1  and dying in the end? We have asked this question before, but  now we need to consider it still more carefully. It is the one fixed,
M:27.2  that life is real. Death has become life's symbol. His world is  now a battleground where contradiction reigns and opposites make
M:27.5  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 Father but
M:27.7  What seems to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion.  Now it becomes your task to let the illusion be brought to the truth.
M:27.7  Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of God is guiltless  now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it
M:28.2  Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life is  now recognized as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind
M:28.3  contradict the Word of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And  now the truth can come at last. How quickly will it come as it is
M:28.4  a stir of deep anticipation, for the time of everlasting things is  now at hand. There is no death. The Son of God is free. And in his
M:28.4  God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places  now remain on earth to shelter sick illusions, dreams of fear, and
M:28.5  Now there are no distinctions. Differences have disappeared, and Love
M:29.7  and all things are given you. Not in the future but immediately— now. God does not wait, for waiting implies time and He is timeless.
M:29.8 And  now in all your doings be you blessed. God turns to you for help to
