W1:184.3 | What are these | names by which the world becomes a series of discrete events, of |

Tx:3.24 | it cannot misproject. It can only honor man, because honor is the | natural greeting of the truly loved to others who are like them. The |
Tx:3.34 | Visions are the | natural perception of the Spiritual eye, but they are still |
Tx:3.60 | and a perceiver does need healing. Communion, not prayer, is the | natural state of those who know. God and His miracles are |

Tx:4.68 | you do. I have called, and you will answer. I know that miracles are | natural because they are expressions of love. My calling you is as |
Tx:4.68 | natural because they are expressions of love. My calling you is as | natural as your answer and as inevitable. |
Tx:4.88 | Having done this, it utilizes repression against all truly | natural impulses, not because the ego is a separate thing, but |
Tx:4.104 | of its chosen home. When it is threatened, the ego blocks your | natural impulse to help, placing you under the strain of divided |
Tx:5.1 | integrated willingness to share in it and thus promotes the mind's | natural impulse to respond as one. |
Tx:5.63 | is to think like Him. This engenders joy, not guilt, because it is | natural. Guilt is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. |

Tx:7.107 | of difficulty in miracles, you will convince yourselves that in your | natural state there is no difficulty, because it is a state of grace. |
Tx:7.108 | Grace is the | natural state of every Son of God. When he is not in a state of |
Tx:7.108 | Son of God. When he is not in a state of grace, he is out of his | natural environment and does not function well. Everything he does |
Tx:7.111 | as truth. This is the perception which is immediate, clear, and | natural. You have trained yourselves not to see it, and this has been |
Tx:7.111 | not to see it, and this has been very difficult for you. Out of your | natural environment, you may well ask, “What is truth?” since truth |

Tx:8.59 | is communication, for which the body can be used. This is the only | natural use to which it can be put. To use the body unnaturally is to |
Tx:8.62 | the result of using the body solely for communication. Since this is | natural, it heals by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is |
Tx:8.62 | Since this is natural, it heals by making whole, which is also | natural. All mind is whole, and the belief that part of it is |
Tx:8.79 | littleness. Do not let it reflect your will to attack. Health is the | natural state of anything whose interpretation is left to the Holy |
Tx:9.11 | how to do it. The Holy Spirit merely reminds you of what is your | natural ability. By reinterpreting the ability to attack, which you |
Tx:9.14 | perfectly. That is what we meant when we once said that miracles are | natural, and when they do not occur, something has gone wrong. |
Tx:10.44 | Every idea has a purpose, and its purpose is always the | natural extension of what it is. Everything that stems from the ego |
Tx:10.44 | extension of what it is. Everything that stems from the ego is the | natural outcome of its central belief, and the way to undo its |
Tx:10.44 | to undo its results is merely to recognize that their source is not | natural, being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that |
Tx:10.61 | with Him involves no strain at all. His perceptions are your | natural awareness, and it is only distortions which you introduce |
Tx:11.59 | has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its | natural extension. Love transfers to love without any interference, |
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 |
Tx:14.7 | of God that does not share His shining innocence. Creation is the | natural extension of perfect purity. Your only calling here is to |
Tx:15.60 | it follows you can only give. And this is love, for this alone is | natural under the laws of God. |
Tx:16.12 | To you the miracle cannot seem | natural because what you have done to hurt your minds has made them |
Tx:16.12 | minds has made them so unnatural that they do not remember what is | natural to them. And when you are told about it, you cannot |
Tx:16.12 | of the part as whole and of the whole in every part is perfectly | natural. For it is the way God thinks, and what is natural to Him is |

Tx:16.44 | quite open. Here they are usually judged to be acceptable and even | natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate together, and |
Tx:16.45 | condition of the separation, and those who learn that it is not | natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones. For this world is the |
Tx:16.58 | side and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the | natural decision as this is realized. |
Tx:16.59 | no meaning, and it perceives all love as special. Yet this cannot be | natural, for it is unlike the relationship of God and His Son, and |
Tx:18.23 | —the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and so | natural. For as your sleeping and your waking dreams represent the |
Tx:18.39 | It is this that makes the holy instant so easy and so | natural. You make it difficult because you insist there must be more |

Tx:19.23 | citadel more heavily defended than the idea that sin is real—the | natural expression of what the Son of God has made himself to be and |

Tx:21.51 | This other Self sees miracles as natural. They are as simple and | natural to It as breathing to the body. They are the obvious response |

Tx:26.65 | To use the power God has given you as He would have it used is | natural. It is not arrogant to be as He created you or to make use of |
Tx:30.70 | for dreams of terror. For it is on this forgiveness rests and is but | natural. You are not asked to offer pardon where attack is due and |
Tx:30.71 | for attack. But you are merely asked to see forgiveness as the | natural reaction to distress which rests on error and thus calls for |
Tx:31.49 | Concepts are learned. They are not | natural. Apart from learning, they do not exist. They are not given, |
Tx:31.91 | comes from God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as | natural as fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for |
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 |
W1:41.7 | most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only | natural thing in the world. The way will open if you believe that it |

W1:72.10 | us and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in our | natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize |
W1:134.6 | It is sin's unreality that makes forgiveness | natural and wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer it; a quiet |
W1:161.2 | Complete abstraction is the | natural condition of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It |
W1:184.5 | Yet does this other vision still remain a | natural direction for the mind to channel its perception. It is hard |
M:4.15 | it is impossible. To those to whom harm has no meaning, it is merely | natural. What choice but this has meaning to the sane? Who chooses |
M:4.20 | outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. Patience is | natural to the teacher of God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a |
M:4.20 | his past decisions if they are causing pain to anyone. Patience is | natural to those who trust. Sure of the ultimate interpretation of |
M:25.2 | Who transcends these limits in any way is merely becoming more | natural. He is doing nothing special, and there is no magic in his |

Tx:1.50 | is personal [and leads to personal salvation]. The impersonal | nature of miracles is an essential ingredient, because this enables |
Tx:1.71 | without the awareness of the miracle worker himself. The impersonal | nature of miracles is because the Atonement itself is one, uniting |
Tx:1.74 | because of His complete awareness of the whole plan. The impersonal | nature of miracle-mindedness ensures your grace, but only Christ is |

Tx:4.40 | need not trouble ourselves with inventiveness. The highly specific | nature of invention is not worthy of the abstract creativity of God's |
Tx:5.37 | we really mean when we say that “now is the only time.” The literal | nature of this statement does not mean anything to the ego, which |

Tx:7.107 | of the world and is therefore natural. The world goes against your | nature, being out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives |
Tx:8.9 | the development of what you have. When you are taught against your | nature, however, you will lose by your learning because your learning |
Tx:8.9 | because your learning will imprison you. Your will is in your | nature and therefore cannot go against it. |
Tx:10.44 | that their source is not natural, being out of accord with your true | nature. We once said that to will contrary to God is wishful thinking |
Tx:10.62 | it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, for such is the | nature of God's Son as His Father created him. |
Tx:11.69 | When you want only love you will see nothing else. The contradictory | nature of the witnesses you perceive is merely the reflection of your |
Tx:14.39 | longer stand. How long can contradiction stand when its impossible | nature is clearly revealed? What disappears in light is not attacked. |
Tx:16.10 | holy. Concern yourselves not with the extension of holiness, for the | nature of miracles you do not understand. Nor do you do them. It is |
Tx:16.52 | triumph over God, would you want it? Let us not think of its fearful | nature nor of the guilt it must entail nor of the sadness and the |
Tx:18.92 | in traveling through. Let your Guide teach you their unsubstantial | nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a world of |
Tx:19.49 | fear of love, for love would never look on guilt at all. It is the | nature of love to look upon only the truth, for there it sees itself, |
Tx:21.53 | listened. Yet such is clearly not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien | nature to the ego is proof you will not find the answer there. Yet if |
Tx:23.10 | Son of God at war with his Creator is a condition as ridiculous as | nature roaring at the wind in anger and proclaiming that it is part |
Tx:23.11 | Could | nature possibly establish this and make it true? Nor is it up to you |
Tx:27.44 | of healing, and it will go forth because of what it is. It is its | nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the |
Tx:27.50 | these specific shapes make up the world. And no one understands the | nature of his problem. If he did, it would be there no more for him |
Tx:27.50 | If he did, it would be there no more for him to see. Its very | nature is that it is not. And thus while he perceives it, he can not |

Tx:3.18 | If you can accept the one generalization now, there will be no | need to learn from many smaller lessons. |
Tx:3.46 | involves an exchange or translation, which knowledge does not | need. The interpretive function of perception, actually a distorted |
Tx:3.52 | When you make something, you make it out of a sense of lack or | need. Anything that is made is made for a specific purpose and has no |
Tx:3.55 | kind of thinking is a waste of time, but that you are free of the | need to engage in it if you are willing to let it go. |
Tx:3.58 | is all one and has no separate parts. You who are really one with it | need but know yourself, and your knowledge is complete. To know God's |
Tx:3.60 | over to truth. Perception is a separated state, and a perceiver does | need healing. Communion, not prayer, is the natural state of those |
Tx:3.63 | belief that you are under the coercion of judgment. You do not | need judgment to organize your life, and you certainly do not need it |
Tx:3.63 | do not need judgment to organize your life, and you certainly do not | need it to organize yourselves. In the presence of knowledge, all |
Tx:4.8 | but cannot make the totally lifeless out of the life-given. The Soul | need not be taught, but the ego must. |
Tx:4.11 | so much of his own thinking that they will one day no longer | need him. This is the one real goal of the parent, teacher, and |
Tx:4.12 | with me, but my goal will always be to absolve you finally from the | need for a teacher. |
Tx:4.21 | to learn this lesson together, so we can be free of them together. I | need devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul |
Tx:4.21 | who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul is far beyond the | need of your protection or mine. Remember this: |
Tx:4.22 | In this world you | need not have tribulation because I have overcome the world. |
Tx:4.26 | is as if you never had it. This willfulness is so apparent that one | need only perceive it to see that it does happen. If it can occur |
Tx:4.26 | of how the mind can work, provided you fully recognize that it | need not work that way. Why are you surprised that something happened |
Tx:4.27 | You forget the love that animals have for their own offspring and the | need they feel to protect them. This is because they regard them as |
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:30.1 | to make them habits now, so you will have them ready for whatever | need. |
Tx:30.10 | you have decided by yourself and cannot see the question. Now you | need a quick restorative before you ask. |
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:30.42 | Completion is the function of God's Son. He has no | need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his holy will to |
Tx:30.42 | is not in him, he would not be as God created him. What idol can he | need to be himself? For can he give a part of him away? What is not |
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:I.2 | few minutes, and it does not matter where or when you do them. They | need no preparation. They are numbered, running from 1 to 365. The |
W1:I.5 | meaning to you and show you they are true. Remember only this—you | need not believe them, you need not accept them, and you need not |
W1:I.5 | they are true. Remember only this—you need not believe them, you | need not accept them, and you need not welcome them. Some of them you |
W1:I.5 | this—you need not believe them, you need not accept them, and you | need not welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of |
W1:7.8 | not learning these new ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you | need new ideas about time. This first time idea is not really so |
W1:9.1 | are concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not | need to practice what you really understand. It would indeed be |
W1:9.3 | applying the idea for the day to whatever you see, remembering the | need for its indiscriminate application and the essential rule of |
W1:23.6 | Besides using it throughout the day as the | need arises, five practice periods are required in applying today's |
W1:34.7 | or worry, use the idea in its original form. If you find you | need more than one application of today's idea to help you change |
W1:39.2 | see at once how direct and simple the text is, and you would not | need a workbook at all. No one needs practice to gain what is already |
W1:39.6 | are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them that you | need to be saved. |
W1:40.2 | You | need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will |
W1:43.10 | more or less directly to today's idea is suitable. The thoughts | need not bear an obvious relationship to the idea, but they should |
W1:46.1 | before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great | need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. |
W1:46.11 | forgiven. No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God. There is no | need to attack, because Love has forgiven me. |
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 |
W1:53.3 | such a world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I | need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not |
W1:56.3 | see reflects what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest | need. The world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image |
W1:57.3 | the world I see. I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I | need do is recognize this, and I am free. I have deluded myself into |
W1:61.5 | periods as possible should be undertaken today, although each one | need not exceed a minute or two. They should begin with telling |
W1:64.10 | are not proficient in the mind discipline which it requires. You may | need to repeat “Let me not forget my function” quite often, to help |
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, |
W1:95.19 | Do not forget today. We | need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the |
W1:98.2 | have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been given everything we | need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way, |
W1:99.1 | same. They both imply that something has gone wrong—something you | need to be saved from or forgiven for, something amiss that needs |
W1:99.2 | now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you | need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation is the borderland |
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 |
W1:104.3 | are the gifts which are within us now, for they are timeless. And we | need not wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we |

W1:107.5 | again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every | need and trusted with a perfect trust in all the seeming difficulties |
W1:110.2 | and misery and death do not exist. Today's idea is therefore all you | need to let complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect |
W1:110.3 | All this has not occurred if you remain as God created you. You | need no thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the |
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:R3.14 | 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 |
W1:134.2 | belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His Love. Does this | need pardon? How can you forgive the sinless and eternally benign? |
W1:134.12 | does not have to kill the dragons which he thought pursued him. Nor | need he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he thought |
W1:135.8 | The body is in | need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It will be |
W1:135.9 | is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, | need merely be perceived as quite apart from you, and it becomes a |
W1:135.11 | These are the thoughts in | need of healing, and the body will respond with health when they have |
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 |
W1:135.25 | answers to another kind of question which remains unanswered yet in | need of answering until the Answer comes to you at last. |
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 |
W1:137.9 | teach how easily salvation can be yours, how little practice you | need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold |
W1:138.4 | You | need to be reminded that you think a thousand choices are confronting |
W1:139.5 | It is for this denial that you | need Atonement. Your denial made no change in what you are. But you |
W1:139.7 | doubt and question that to ask what it must be is all the proof you | need to show that you believe the contradiction that you know not |
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 |
W1:140.8 | to us as our own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We | need but seek it, and it must be found. |
W1:140.11 | separately, but all of them as one. They are the same. We have no | need to make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear |
W1:R4.11 | We add no other thoughts, but let them be the messages they are. We | need no more than this to give us happiness and rest and endless |
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 |
W1:154.1 | We have gone beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor | need we do so. These are but attempts to hold decision off, and to |

W1:155.3 | from the truth because they have denied that it is so. And so they | need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look |
W1:155.7 | on the way to happiness. Their suffering is but illusion. Yet they | need a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake illusion for |
W1:157.8 | in the same 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 |
W1:159.6 | locked, and no one is denied his least request or his most urgent | need. There is no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, |
W1:159.6 | There is no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no | need unmet within this golden treasury of Christ. |
W1:159.8 | but they can never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil. They | need the light and warmth and kindly care Christ's charity provides. |
W1:159.8 | the light and warmth and kindly care Christ's charity provides. They | need the love with which He looks on them. And they become His |
W1:161.4 | grasp abstraction in the sense that it is all-encompassing. We | need to see a little that we learn a lot. |
W1:162.4 | Today we practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they | need no thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses |
W1:164.8 | Christ can come and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has | need of your most holy mind to save the world. |
W1:165.4 | Deny not Heaven. It is yours today but for the asking. Nor | need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be |
W1:165.5 | Ask with desire. You | need not be sure that you request the only thing you want. But when |
W1:166.10 | He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will. There was a | need He did not understand, to which He gave an Answer. That is all. |
W1:166.10 | an Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have | need no more of anything but this. |
W1:169.9 | There is no | need to further clarify what no one in the world can understand. When |
W1:169.12 | while a part of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in | need of you as witness to the truth? |
W1:170.8 | 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 in him their |
W1:R5.10 | again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter | need and knows the answer God has given Him. Together we review these |
W1:R5.11 | Let this review be then your gift to me. For this alone I | need—that you will hear the words I speak and give them to the |
W1:181.3 | today, we first let all such little focuses give way to our great | need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our minds |
W1:184.9 | them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching function. You have | need to use the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived |
W1:184.10 | Thus what you | need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world |
W1:185.14 | It is this one intent we seek today, uniting our desires with the | need of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that lies |
W1:186.7 | this little pile of dust. What can it tell the holy Son of God? Why | need he be concerned with it at all? |
W1:186.13 | that you have everything already. He has thoughts which answer every | need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must |
W1:189.8 | Is it not He Who knows the way to you? You | need not know the way to Him. Your part is simply to allow all |
W1:189.9 | reached. God knows His Son and knows the way to him. He does not | need His Son to show Him how to find His way. Through every opened |
W1:190.4 | The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no | need to think of them as savage crimes or secret sins with weighty |
W1:191.6 | you learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no | need to use it cruelly and then perceive this savage need in it. You |
W1:191.6 | You have no need to use it cruelly and then perceive this savage | need in it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You will not see a |
W1:191.7 | Be glad today how very easily is hell undone. You | need but tell yourself: |
W1:192.2 | untruth can be undone. And who would pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you | need the means to let illusion go. Creation merely waits for your |
W1:192.7 | nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we | need forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly |
W1:193.2 | no contradictions. Yet His Son believes he sees them. Thus he has a | need for One Who can correct his erring sight and give him vision |
W1:193.14 | proper aim, and do not let the time be less than meets your deepest | need. |
W1:196.4 | as the mind relinquishes its burdens one by one. It is not time we | need for this. It is but willingness. And what would seem to need a |
W1:196.4 | time we need for this. It is but willingness. And what would seem to | need a thousand years can easily be done in just one instant by the |
W1:196.9 | If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the world and | need not fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide in terror |
W1:196.9 | not hurt the world and need not fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor | need you hide in terror from the deadly fear of God projection hides |
W1:198.8 | by thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could | need forgiveness. Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the |
W1:199.4 | innocence, and you are free. The body disappears because you have no | need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body |
W1:199.4 | free. The body disappears because you have no need of it except the | need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body will appear as useful |
W1:200.9 | sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in | need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the |
W1:R6.2 | But for that one, there must be no exceptions made. And so we | need to use them all and let them blend as one, as each contributes |
W1:207.1 | blessing shines upon me from within my heart where He abides. I | need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away as I accept His |
W2:I.2 | consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we will | need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget our hourly |
W2:I.2 | our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when we have | need of Him as we are tempted to forget our goal. |
W2:I.3 | that thought to introduce our times of rest and calm our minds at | need. Yet we will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the |
W2:I.10 | Now is the | need for practice almost done. For in this final section we will come |
W2:I.10 | done. For in this final section we will come to understand that we | need only call to God and all temptations disappear. Instead of |
W2:I.10 | only call to God and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we | need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. |
W2:I.10 | Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we | need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and |
W2:I.10 | Instead of prayer, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we | need but be still and let all things be healed. We will accept the |
W2:226.2 | my glad return. Your arms are open, and I hear Your Voice. What | need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of broken dreams |
W2:229.1 | 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 my |
W2:230.2 | into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You created me. I | need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is Your will that |
W2:WS.2 | God's Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no | need for such a thought before, for peace was given without opposite |
W2:WS.2 | opposite and merely was. But when the mind is split, there is a | need of healing. So the thought which has the power to heal the split |
W2:235.1 | I | need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me and with perfect |
W2:235.1 | wills that I be saved from this,” and merely watch them disappear. I | need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness to |
W2:235.1 | is only happiness to find that only happiness has come to me. And I | need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son and keeps his |
W2:244.1 | Your Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He | need but call upon Your Name, and he will recollect his safety and |
W2:WIS.1 | gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What | need have they of sights or sounds or touch? What would they hear or |
W2:251.1 | and found despair. Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I | need and only what I need. All that I sought before I needed not and |
W2:251.1 | Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I | need. All that I sought before I needed not and did not even want. My |
W2:251.1 | All that I sought before I needed not and did not even want. My only | need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In |
W2:251.1 | even want. My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I | need only truth. In that, all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, |
W2:251.1 | fulfilled, 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 |
W2:256.1 | is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what | need would there have been to find a way to where you are? Who would |
W2:267.1 | with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I | need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; |
W2:WIC.5 | look on nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we have no | need of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the |
W2:273.1 | disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We | need but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace |
W2:273.2 | Father, Your peace is mine. What | need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have |
W2:275.2 | Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I | need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do |
W2:276.1 | of who our Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we | need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our creation, |
W2:286.1 | the time in which I come to understand the lesson that there is no | need that I do anything. In You is every choice already made. In You |
W2:WIRW.3 | What | need has such a mind for thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What |
W2:WIRW.5 | The Holy Spirit has no | need of time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that |
W2:324.2 | So let us follow One Who knows the way. We | need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an instant from His loving |
W2:327.1 | and loves me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I | need to come to Him. |
W2:337.1 | for myself and nothing more. God has already done all things that | need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I |
W2:337.1 | has already done all things that need be done. And I must learn I | need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my |
W2:337.1 | need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I | need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already |
W2:345.1 | seen to work. The miracles I give are given back in just the form I | need to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in Heaven it is |
W2:348.1 | for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. What | need have I for anger or for fear? Surrounding me is perfect safety. |
W2:355.1 | gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I | need but reach out my hand to find it. Even now my fingers touch it. |
W2:355.1 | hand to find it. Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I | need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I |
W2:361.1 | And if I | need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, |
W2:361.1 | And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I | need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness |
W2:361.1 | give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I | need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I |
W2:E.1 | to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold all answers that you | need for anything that seems to trouble you. He knows the way to |
W2:E.1 | all problems and resolve all doubts. His certainty is yours. You | need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you. |
W2:E.2 | accepted as your Voice, to speak of what you really want and really | need. His is the Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He speaks of |
W2:E.3 | No more specific lessons are assigned, for there is no more | need of them. Henceforth, hear but the Voice for God and for your |
M:4.5 | must go through what might be called “a period of undoing.” This | need not be painful, but it usually is so experienced. It seems as if |
M:4.15 | Therefore God's teachers are wholly gentle. They | need the strength of gentleness, for it is in this that the function |
M:4.16 | song of thanks. And Christ looks down on them in thanks as well. His | need of them is just as great as theirs of Him. How joyous it is to |
M:4.17 | teachers have learned how to be simple. They have no dreams that | need defense against the truth. They do not try to make themselves. |
M:4.17 | from their understanding Who created them. And does what God created | need defense? No one can become an advanced teacher of God until he |
M:5.4 | proportion in which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized. One | need but say, “There is no gain to me at all in this,” and he is |
M:7.3 | gives the gifts he has received. Yet he must first accept them. He | need do no more, nor is there more that he could do. By accepting |
M:10.6 | —all these have come of it. And now he knows that these things | need not be. Not one is true. For he has given up their cause, and |
M:12.2 | God's teachers appear to be many, for that is the world's | need. Yet being joined in one purpose, and one they share with God, |
M:12.3 | His messages directly through the Spirit Which gave them. They | need a medium through which communication becomes possible to those |
M:12.3 | come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's teachers | need a body, for their unity could not be recognized directly. |
M:13.8 | course and it is yours. God holds out His Word to you, for He has | need of teachers. What other way is there to save His Son? |
M:14.1 | illusions is the belief that they have a purpose; that they serve a | need or gratify a want. Perceived as purposeless, they are no longer |
M:14.2 | was made and guilt seemed real. Here is His home, for here there is | need of Him indeed. He brings the ending of the world with Him. It is |
M:14.4 | is the function of the teacher of God in this concluding lesson? He | need merely learn how to approach it, to be willing to go in its |
M:14.4 | learn how to approach it, to be willing to go in its direction. He | need merely trust that, if God's Voice tells him it is a lesson he |
M:16.2 | yet there are obvious advantages in terms of saving time if the | need for this can be avoided. |
M:16.3 | structured practice periods which the workbook contains, individual | need becomes the chief consideration. |
M:16.6 | Your defenses will not work, but you are not in danger. You have no | need of them. Recognize this, and they will disappear. And only then |
M:16.7 | is safe and knows it to be so. He has a Guide Who will not fail. He | need make no distinctions among the problems he perceives, for He to |
M:16.7 | because they are all one to God. This is his safety. And he has no | need for more than this. |
M:16.8 | along the way the teacher of God has yet to travel, and he has | need of reminding himself throughout the day of his protection. How |
M:17.2 | shown than in the kinds of help the teacher gives to those who | need his aid? Here is his gift most clearly given him. For he will |
M:17.8 | next step. The interpretation can be changed at last. Magic thoughts | need not lead to condemnation, for they do not really have the power |
M:19.1 | injustices aside. If God's Son were fairly judged, there would be no | need for salvation. The thought of separation would have been forever |
M:22.4 | result of the recognition by God's teacher of Who it is that is in | need of healing. This recognition has no special reference. It is |
M:23.7 | in time of trouble? A savior who can symbolize Himself? Yet do we | need a many-faceted curriculum, not because of content differences |
M:23.7 | differences but because symbols must shift and change to suit the | need. Jesus has come to answer yours. In him you find God's Answer. |
M:24.4 | will be told about it. He will also be told how to use it. What more | need he know? |
M:24.5 | not the end. Yet even this much is not required of the beginner. He | need merely accept the idea that what he knows is not necessarily all |
M:25.6 | the power, the greater its potential usefulness. Salvation has | need of all abilities, for what the world would destroy, the Holy |
M:26.3 | their helpfulness to those remaining behind are few indeed. And they | need helpers who are still in bondage and still asleep, so that by |
M:26.4 | delayed. All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one | need you have will not be met. Let us not, then, be too concerned |
M:26.4 | and welcomes you. What more could you desire, when this is all you | need? |
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, |

Tx:13.3 | with no effect at all. The miracle, without a function in Heaven, is | needful here. Aspects of reality can still be seen, and they will |
Tx:15.85 | shift in vision which is accomplished in the holy instant. Yet it is | needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you will |

Tx:18.35 | power of God's Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is | needful to prepare yourself for Him. It is impossible to make |
Tx:18.37 | dwelling-place in me created it as He would have it be. It is not | needful that I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not |

W1:153.5 | and by illusions he has made; yet helpless he is in their presence, | needful only of defense by still more fantasies and dreams by which |
W2:258.1 | All that is | needful is to train our minds to overlook all little, senseless aims |
needing (6) | ||
Tx:7.48 | as you learn through the ego. This does place you in a position of | needing to learn a lesson which seems contradictory—you must learn |
Tx:11.78 | and cannot fear. His Father's love holds him in perfect peace, and | needing nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is far from you whose |

Tx:9.38 | not because they will not return, but because delay of joy is | needless. God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that |
Tx:11.97 | you learn that the past has never been, and so the future is | needless. The future, in time, is always associated with expiation, |
W1:133.17 | open as he comes. Should you begin to let yourself collect some | needless burdens or believe you see some difficult decisions facing |

Tx:4.3 | are also free to join my resurrection. Human living has indeed been | needlessly wasted in a repetition compulsion. It reenacts the |
Tx:26.13 | Him. They are mistakes from which the Son of God is suffering, but | needlessly. And so He takes the thorns and nails away. He does not |
W1:160.3 | a stranger to yourself? No one would let himself be dispossessed so | needlessly unless he thought there was another home more suited to |

Tx:1.45 | The Soul never loses its communion with God. Only the mind | needs Atonement. The miracle joins in the Atonement of Christ by |
Tx:1.89 | anyone unless he wants to learn it and believes in some way that he | needs it. While the concept of lack does not exist in the creation of |
Tx:1.90 | than the “fall,” nothing was lacking. This meant that man had no | needs at all. If he had not deprived himself, he would never have |
Tx:1.90 | himself, he would never have experienced them. After the separation, | needs became the most powerful source of motivation for human action. |
Tx:1.90 | for human action. All behavior is essentially motivated by | needs, but behavior itself is not a divine attribute. The body is the |
Tx:1.91 | Each one acts according to the particular hierarchy of | needs he establishes for himself. His hierarchy, in turn, depends on |
Tx:1.91 | he lacks. A sense of separation from God is the only lack he really | needs to correct. This sense of separation would never have occurred |

Tx:5.47 | can increase as you are willing to return the part of your mind that | needs healing to the higher part and thus render your creating |
Tx:6.29 | inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal | needs. This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the |
Tx:6.93 | awareness of its wholeness does. It is only your awareness which | needs protection since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real |
Tx:6.95 | recognition is wholly without effort since it is already true and | needs no protection. It is in the perfect safety of God. Therefore |
Tx:7.6 | explain in words because words are symbols, and nothing that is true | needs to be explained. However, the Holy Spirit has the task of |
Tx:7.18 | it is also you, you share it and extend it as your Creator did. This | needs no translation, because it is perfectly understood, but it does |
Tx:7.38 | in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear. Love | needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship, being |
Tx:7.94 | and you are not whole. A split mind cannot perceive its fullness and | needs the miracle of its wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This |
Tx:8.29 | Do you not think the world | needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the |
Tx:9.2 | do not tell him this verbally if he is speaking foolishly because he | needs correction at another level, since his error is at another |

Tx:10.18 | fail to understand. You can heal only yourself, for only God's Son | needs healing. He needs it because he does not understand himself and |
Tx:10.18 | You can heal only yourself, for only God's Son needs healing. He | needs it because he does not understand himself and therefore knows |
Tx:10.20 | Guest remains, but His Voice grows faint in alien company. He | needs your protection, but only because your care is a sign that you |
Tx:10.31 | to you, it is His. Your Soul does not need salvation, but your mind | needs to learn what salvation is. You are not saved from anything, |

Tx:13.54 | The Holy Spirit | needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily |
Tx:14.28 | not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack fear. What | needs no protection does not defend itself. Defense is of your |
Tx:14.43 | The reflection of God | needs no interpretation. It is clear. Clean but the mirror, and the |
Tx:14.67 | depend for miracles has been provided for you. God's Son can make no | needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. |
Tx:15.15 | Time is your friend if you leave it to the Holy Spirit to use. He | needs but very little to restore God's whole power to you. He Who |
Tx:15.46 | device, for it is in the past that you learned to define your own | needs and acquired methods for meeting them on your own terms. We |
Tx:15.46 | aspects of the totality and look to them to meet your imagined | needs, you are attempting to use separation to save you. How, then, |
Tx:15.49 | the love from His. Do not, then, be afraid to let go your imagined | needs, which would destroy the relationship. Your only need is His. |
Tx:15.52 | them here. In the holy instant no one is special, for your personal | needs intrude on no one to make them different. Without the values |
Tx:15.54 | Every brother God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He | needs them all equally, and so do you. In time you have been told to |
Tx:15.55 | except to extend it. In the holy instant, there is no conflict of | needs, for there is only one. For the holy instant reaches to |
Tx:15.58 | gains in strength. If you seek for satisfaction in gratifying your | needs as you perceive them, you must believe that strength comes from |
Tx:16.7 | an element of specialness. Only the Holy Spirit recognizes foolish | needs as well as real ones. And He will teach you how to meet both |
Tx:16.8 | to do this only in secrecy. And you will think that, by meeting the | needs of one, you do not jeopardize another because you keep them |
Tx:16.8 | other. That is not the way, for it leads not to light and truth. No | needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose |
Tx:16.69 | enter with Him into a holy instant and there let Him release you. He | needs only your willingness to share His perspective to give it to |
Tx:16.81 | can ever enter. Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that | needs forgiveness when Yours is perfect? The sleep of forgetfulness |
Tx:17.36 | instant is so important in the defense of truth. The truth itself | needs no defense, but you do need defense against your own acceptance |
Tx:17.52 | Join 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 |
Tx:17.79 | change, for you accepted what can never change. And nothing that it | needs to be forever changeless can you now withhold from it. Your |
Tx:18.84 | thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit | needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no guide. Yet |
Tx:18.84 | which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and | needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional thought needs help |
Tx:18.84 | keeping and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional thought | needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of God, |
Tx:18.96 | recognized all it is not. That is the interference; that is what | needs to be undone. Love is not learned because there never was a |
Tx:19.3 | The body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It | needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the |
Tx:19.86 | cherished by the Holy Spirit, and protected by God Himself. It | needs not your protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and |
Tx:20.19 | A simple question yet remains and | needs an answer. Do you like what you have made—a world of murder |
Tx:21.50 | Reality | needs no cooperation from you to be itself. But your awareness of it |
Tx:21.50 | needs no cooperation from you to be itself. But your awareness of it | needs your help because it is your choice. Listen to what the ego |
Tx:21.56 | and belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's | needs as well as truth. But reason has no place at all in madness, |
Tx:22.9 | reaches you directly without a need to be interpreted to you. What | needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it ever be made |
Tx:22.40 | will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that | needs the light. And from this holy place He will return with you, |
Tx:22.43 | of hope and freedom and release from suffering to everyone who | needs a miracle to save him. |
Tx:22.45 | from them and not reality. Reality opposes nothing. What merely is | needs no defense and offers none. Only illusions need defense because |
Tx:22.45 | in this seeming conflict. And you need no defense. Everything that | needs defense you do not want, for anything that needs defense will |
Tx:22.45 | Everything that needs defense you do not want, for anything that | needs defense will weaken you. |
Tx:22.46 | And what would you be saved from but what you fear? Belief in sin | needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy Spirit |
Tx:23.30 | But what is it you want that | needs his death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is justified |
Tx:24.56 | 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 you. Yet you will think |
Tx:24.62 | obeys. Nothing his specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it | needs does he deny to what he loves. And while it calls to him, he |
Tx:25.3 | The body | needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick |
Tx:25.16 | a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what God has created | needs no frame, for what He has created He supports and frames within |
Tx:25.49 | The Holy Spirit | needs your special function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you |
Tx:25.56 | to you. The content is the same. The form is suited to your special | needs and to the special time and place in which you think you find |
Tx:25.63 | willingly, for if you could, you'd have no need of Him. But this He | needs—that you prefer He take it than that you keep it for yourself |
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:26.53 | Nothing gives meaning where no meaning is. And truth | needs no defense to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no |
Tx:26.71 | be that if you fear, there is a present cause. And it is this that | needs correction, not a future state. |
Tx:27.8 | sick have reason for each one of their unnatural desires and strange | needs. For who could live a life so soon cut short and not esteem the |
Tx:27.49 | your healing everything the world requires that it may be healed. It | needs one lesson which has perfectly been learned. And then when you |
Tx:28.3 | effort to do anything at all. It is a recognition that you have no | needs which mean that something must be done. It is an unselective |
Tx:29.13 | you now that you will look on them and take them for your own. He | needs your help in giving them to all who walk apart believing they |
Tx:29.28 | those in which the functions you have given have been filled, the | needs which you ascribe to you are met. It does not matter if they be |
Tx:29.65 | they can turn against him for his treachery to them. He thinks he | needs them that he may escape his thoughts, because he thinks the |
Tx:30.32 | It | needs but two who would have happiness this day to promise it to all |
Tx:30.32 | who would have happiness this day to promise it to all the world. It | needs but two to understand that they cannot decide alone to |
Tx:30.32 | powerful and gives it all effects that it will ever have. It | needs but two. These two are joined before there can be a decision. |
Tx:30.53 | are not there. Yet this is equally forgotten in attack. God's Son | needs no defense against his dreams. His idols do not threaten him at |
Tx:31.24 | his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you want and | needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a different form in him, but |
Tx:31.73 | mind. Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes that it | needs to let it serve the function given you to bring you peace that |
Tx:31.82 | not the world's light, given unto you, be hidden from the world. It | needs the light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair because the |
W1:27.6 | The idea for today | needs many repetitions for maximum benefit. It should be used at |
W1:39.2 | simple the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all. No one | needs practice to gain what is already his. |
W1:65.4 | This is part of the long range disciplinary training which your mind | needs, so that the Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the |
W1:71.12 | charge of the rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what | needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will |
W1:76.6 | There are no laws except the laws of God. This | needs repeating over and over until you realize that it applies to |
W1:91.1 | to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This | needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your |
W1:97.5 | Give Him the minutes which He | needs today to help you understand with Him you are the Spirit that |
W1:99.1 | you need to be saved from or forgiven for, something amiss that | needs corrective change, something apart or different from the Will |
W1:106.5 | those who sleep and cannot see. God calls to them through you. He | needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's Son |
W1:107.6 | it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the truth | needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible. Illusions can |
W1:R3.5 | to think about them while letting your mind relate them to your | needs, your seeming problems, and all your concerns. |
W1:133.9 | It does not even tell the truth as it perceives it, for it | needs to keep the halo which it uses to protect its goals from |
W1:135.6 | it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing to fear. It has no | needs but those which you assign to it. It needs no complicated |
W1:135.6 | thing to fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It | needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing |
W1:135.8 | mad attacks you make upon it. For it seems to fail your hopes, your | needs, your values, and your dreams. |
W1:135.9 | The “self” that | needs protection is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth |
W1:135.14 | of helping in a plan which far exceeds its own protection and which | needs its service for a little while. In this capacity is health |
W1:135.17 | will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it | needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past without a |
W1:135.29 | would keep it holy. I will not defend myself, because the Son of God | needs no defense against the truth of his reality. |
W1:136.21 | Yet this protection | needs to be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind |
W1:138.5 | on what you have accepted as the truth of what you are and what your | needs must be. |
W1:151.1 | certainty is but a cloak for the uncertainty it would conceal. It | needs irrational defense because it is irrational. And its defense |
W1:154.11 | Him what He would have that we may recognize His gifts to us. He | needs our voice that He may speak through us. He needs our hands to |
W1:154.11 | His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He | needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to those whom He |
W1:154.11 | to hold His messages and carry them to those whom He appoints. He | needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in |
W1:154.11 | that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He | needs our will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers |
W1:158.6 | is merely there. This is beyond our goal, for it transcends what | needs to be accomplished. Our concern is with Christ's vision. This |
W1:161.5 | for no response, for symbols can stand for the meaningless. Love | needs no symbols, being true. But fear attaches to specifics, being |
W1:165.6 | His Son remain forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he | needs to live? Abundance dwells in him, and deprivation cannot cut |
W1:166.6 | really tragic when you see that he is following the way he chose and | needs but realize Who walks with him and open up his treasures to be |
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. |
W1:182.6 | This Child | needs your protection. He is far from home. He is so little that He |
W1:186.5 | not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you that salvation | needs your part and that the whole depends on you, be sure that it is |
W1:198.14 | There is no condemnation in him. He is perfect in his holiness. He | needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts when everything |
W2:242.2 | what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and our | needs. And You will give us everything we want and that will help us |
W2:251.1 | not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In that, all | needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally |
W2:296.1 | The Holy Spirit | needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and |
W2:297.1 | saved, would make it mine to be the way I live within a world that | needs salvation and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for |
W2:WISC.5 | that this Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with that. It | needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet. It needs your voice. And |
W2:WISC.5 | rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet. It | needs your voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. Let us |
W2:WISC.5 | and ears and hands and feet. It needs your voice. And most of all it | needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do God's Will and |
W2:338.1 | It | needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this |
W2:345.1 | perceive. Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no | needs. But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than |
W2:349.2 | Our Father knows our | needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him to |
M:2.5 | have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their | needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought |
M:3.5 | even seem to fail. No teacher of God can fail to find the Help he | needs. |
M:4.8 | How simple is the obvious! And how easy to do! The teacher of God | needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as far as he |
M:7.1 | limit the healing. It is now the teacher of God himself whose mind | needs to be healed. And it is this he must facilitate. He is now the |
M:8.2 | minds, with different interests of its own and able to gratify its | needs at the expense of others. |
M:16.1 | learn the lessons for the day together. Not one is absent whom he | needs; not one is sent without a learning goal already set, and one |
M:16.10 | him. But he is safe from all deception if he so decides. Perhaps he | needs to remember “God is with me. I cannot be deceived.” Perhaps he |
M:22.3 | That forgiveness is healing | needs to be understood if the teacher of God is to make progress. The |
M:25.4 | tempting. Here are strengths which the Holy Spirit wants and | needs. Yet the ego sees in these same strengths an opportunity to |
M:25.6 | their increased freedom for greater imprisonment. The Holy Spirit | needs these gifts, and those who offer them to Him and Him alone go |
M:26.2 | on them in vain. Nor is there anyone of whom they are unaware. All | needs are known to them, and all mistakes are recognized and |
M:26.4 | their language. If you would be saviors, you must understand what | needs to be escaped. Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the |
M:29.2 | Which is for whom? Who would profit more from prayers alone? Who | needs but a smile, being as yet unready for more? No one should |
needy (1) | ||
W1:195.5 | make room for all who will escape with you—the sick, the weak, the | needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent |
negation (1) | ||
Tx:1.97 | of denial can be appreciated and relinquished. It is not mere | negation. It is a positive miscreation. While the miscreation is |
negative (12) | ||
Tx:2.22 | You will note that we have been shifting the emphasis from the | negative to the positive use of denial. As we have already stated, |
Tx:2.22 | use of denial. As we have already stated, denial is not a purely | negative device; it results in positive miscreation. That is the way |
Tx:4.56 | are obviously conflicted, your feelings have a narrow range on the | negative side but are never purely joyous, and your behavior is |
Tx:6.4 | a form of punishment. Nothing, however, can be really explained in | negative terms only. There is a positive interpretation of the |
Tx:7.19 | it is not there. Actually, this does not mean anything. It is like | negative numbers in that the concept can be used theoretically, but |
Tx:7.71 | That is the | negative side of the law as it operates in this world. Yet denial is |
Tx:11.44 | you. Yet the recognition of your invulnerability has more than | negative value. If your attacks on yourself have failed to weaken |
W1:12.5 | happen to occur to you. If terms which seem positive rather than | negative occur to you, include them. For example, you might think of |
W1:35.4 | the ego-based attributes which you ascribe to yourself, positive or | negative, desirable or undesirable, grandiose or debased. All of them |
W1:35.5 | period, you will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more | negative aspects of your perception of yourself. Toward the latter |
W1:46.13 | at any time during the day when you become aware of any kind of | negative reaction to anyone, present or not. In this event, tell him |
M:17.4 | angry at a fact. It is always an interpretation that gives rise to | negative emotions, regardless of their seeming justification by what |
negatively (1) | ||
Tx:7.71 | of being used positively as it is of being used destructively. Used | negatively it will be destructive because it will be used for attack, |
neglect (2) | ||
Tx:4.103 | minds. Rehabilitation as a movement is an improvement over the overt | neglect of those in need of help, but it is often little more than a |
W1:78.7 | the difficulties you have had with him, the pain he caused you, his | neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he gave. We will |

Tx:3.12 | anti-religious concept enters into many religions, and this is | neither by chance nor by coincidence. Yet the real Christian would |

Tx:5.90 | 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 upon |
Tx:6.32 | within themselves and with each other, because they were created | neither partially nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to |
Tx:6.61 | through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. The body | neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. |
Tx:7.7 | because He created His co-creators. Because He did, time applies | neither to Him nor to what He created. The “last step” that God [was |
Tx:7.19 | does not matter what was there in terms of amount. The “nothing” is | neither greater nor less because of what is absent. |
Tx:7.32 | and therefore universal in application. The real aim of science is | neither prediction nor control but only understanding. This is |
Tx:7.63 | allegiance between two kingdoms, and you are totally committed to | neither. |
Tx:7.99 | accept into your mind what is not really there and deny what is. | Neither of these possibilities requires further elaboration here, but |
Tx:8.46 | expect joy in return? And what else but joy would you want? You made | neither yourself nor your function. You made only the decision to be |
Tx:9.34 | you can create as He did, and your dissociation will not alter this. | Neither God's light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. |
Tx:9.66 | both together if you discovered that reality is in accord with | neither? You do not remember being awake. When you hear the Holy |

Tx:16.25 | this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left | neither God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as you are God |
Tx:16.50 | self in each other, the ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For | neither one will recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he will |
Tx:18.55 | This is the host of God that you have made. And | neither God nor His most holy Son can enter an abode which harbors |

Tx:18.74 | Yet | neither sun nor ocean is even aware of all this strange and |
Tx:18.77 | sunlight, and the ripple dances as it rests upon the ocean. Yet in | neither sun nor ocean is the power that rests in you. Would you |

Tx:19.69 | as itself. The body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; | neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an end. It has no purpose |
Tx:19.80 | against the peace of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created | neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows |
Tx:19.80 | sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of | neither sin nor its results. The shrouded figures in the funeral |
Tx:19.82 | no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself, it is | neither corruptible nor incorruptible. It is nothing. It is the |

Tx:19.102 | He has in him the power to forgive your sins, as you for him. | Neither can give it to himself alone. And yet your savior stands |

Tx:20.28 | has already given and received all that is true. The untrue He has | neither received nor given. |
Tx:20.61 | is positive, and the body is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but | neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the body cannot |
Tx:20.64 | but means, each one appropriate to the end for which it is employed. | Neither can serve the purpose of the other, for each one is a choice |
Tx:21.38 | must be exacted of a body and by another body. The mind could | neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could the body. |

Tx:21.64 | Neither your brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But | neither can accept a miracle instead without the other being blessed |
Tx:21.67 | given both of you. To give is no more blessed than to receive. But | neither is it less. |

Tx:24.30 | what He wills for you and what you will. They are the same, for | neither one wills specialness. How could they will the death of love |

Tx:28.66 | and its Source? From here the body can be seen as what it is and | neither less nor more in worth than the extent to which it can be |
Tx:30.52 | Do not grieve for them. Their dancing never brought you joy. But | neither were they things to frighten you nor make you safe if they |
Tx:30.52 | you nor make you safe if they obeyed your rules. They must be | neither cherished nor attacked but merely looked upon as children's |
Tx:30.73 | your brother does not merit. For it is the truth that you can merit | neither more nor less than he. |
Tx:31.14 | choices to be made each time you think you must decide on anything. | Neither is true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both |

Tx:4.50 | which is so different from anything the ego can offer that you will | never recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here—you |
Tx:4.50 | recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here—you will | never be able to cover or hide again. It is necessary to repeat here |
Tx:4.51 | In this you are as free as God and must remain so forever. You can | never be bound except in honor, and that is always voluntary. Let us |

Tx:4.52 | It has | never really entered your mind to give up every idea you ever had |
Tx:4.53 | I will | never forsake you any more than God will, but I must wait as long as |
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:4.82 | nor is it understood by being compared to an opposite. Knowledge | never involves comparisons. That is its essential difference from |

Tx:5.55 | join it and give it away. As you teach, so shall you learn. I will | never leave you or forsake you, because to forsake you would be to |
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 | 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 | 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:6.60 | The Holy Spirit | never itemizes errors because He does not frighten children, and |
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:8.70 | can separate and reassemble in different constellations. Knowledge | never changes, so its constellation is permanent. The only areas in |
Tx:8.78 | without violating your will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free but | never to command. |
Tx:8.94 | have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will | never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the |
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:8.98 | because it was never created. It was never created, because it was | never your will for you. |
Tx:8.101 | God could not will that happiness depended on what you could | never have. |
Tx:8.103 | want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was | never created. If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you really |
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:8.110 | If you would know your prayers are answered, | never doubt a Son of God. Do not question him and do not confound |
Tx:8.117 | Never forget, then, that you have set the value on what you receive | |
Tx:9.18 | of finding satisfaction in reality. Yet it is certain that he will | never find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is to |
Tx:9.37 | will find your creations, because he created them with you. You will | never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your |
Tx:9.40 | range. It cannot exceed it because of its uncertainty. And it can | never go beyond it, because it can never be certain. |
Tx:9.40 | of its uncertainty. And it can never go beyond it, because it can | never be certain. |
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:16.23 | is equally impossible that conviction be outside of you. You could | never have taught freedom unless you did believe in it. And it must |
Tx:16.25 | real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not real was | never there. |
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:18.2 | The Holy Spirit | never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as a |
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:23.44 | of it? It can be kept shining before your vision, forever clear and | never out of sight if you defend it not. |
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 |
W1:161.1 | we practice today's idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can | never fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had |
W1:162.2 | in answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound will | never look on death. |
W1:163.3 | certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival. It will | never fail to take all life as hostage to itself. |
W1:164.4 | not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has | never touched. All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in |
W1:165.7 | are meaningless, for God is certain. And the Thought of Him is | never absent. Sureness must abide within you who are host to Him. |
W1:166.2 | and true believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But | never in one God. |
W1:166.14 | change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can | never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's release |
W1:167.4 | because of causes you cannot control, you did not make, and you can | never change. It is the fixed belief ideas can leave their source and |
W1:167.5 | can go far beyond themselves. But they cannot give birth to what was | never given them. As they are made, so will their making be. As they |
W1:167.9 | while. It dreams of time—an interval in which what seems to happen | never has occurred, the changes wrought are substanceless, and all |
W1:169.6 | disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him. The world has | never been at all. Eternity remains a constant state. |
W1:R5.6 | understands Itself, is perfect in Its knowledge and Its love, and | never changes from Its constant state of union with Its Father and |
W1:181.10 | attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no sin and | never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We seek for |
W1:182.4 | now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a past that | never happened. Yet there is a Child in you Who seeks His Father's |
W1:183.8 | Thus do we give an invitation which can | never be refused. And God will come and answer it Himself. Think not |
W1:186.11 | and one you can attain. Your plan may be impossible, but God's can | never fail because He is its Source. |
W1:186.14 | These are the forms which | never can deceive, although they come from Formlessness Itself. |
W1:187.4 | value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will | never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby proven |
W1:187.6 | Never forget you give but to yourself. Who understands what giving | |
W1:187.8 | Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice | |
W1:188.2 | to find it in the future or believe it has been lost already or was | never there? It can so easily be looked upon that arguments which |
W1:188.5 | The peace of God can | never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. |
W1:194.7 | found his way to present peace and certainty of care the world can | never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty but will |
W1:194.7 | threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty but will | never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has been |
W1:195.4 | our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It will | never be that some are loosed while others still are bound, for who |
W1:196.2 | for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that punishment can | never be escaped because the ego, under what it sees as threat, is |
W1:196.8 | had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy mind He | never left. |
W1:197.5 | to yourself, and what belongs to God must be His own. Yet you will | never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, |
W1:197.6 | take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can | never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while before |
W1:197.9 | denied yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. But | never think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to you. |
W1:199.2 | a mind because it has been given to the Source of Love. And fear can | never enter in a mind that has attached itself to Love. It rests in |
W1:200.7 | he hope to find in such a world? It cannot have reality because it | never was created. Is it here that he would seek for peace? Or must |
W2:I.5 | you have recognized it is your will He do so. And you could have | never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your |
W2:225.2 | it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will | never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek |
W2:227.2 | And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we | never really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The |
W2:234.1 | sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy peace we | never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and |
W2:240.1 | is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could | never be and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one |
W2:241.2 | now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who | never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have |
W2:248.1 | myself. What is in pain is but illusion in my mind. What dies was | never living in reality and did but mock the truth about myself. Now |
W2:WIB.3 | every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can | never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given |
W2:306.2 | And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we | never went away, remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and |
W2:WILJ.1 | for God proclaim that what is false is false and what is true has | never changed. And this the judgment is in which perception ends. At |
W2:320.1 | wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy will can | never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and lays |
W2:326.1 | Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy thought that | never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and |
W2:327.2 | Father, I thank You that Your promises will | never fail in my experience if I but test them out. Let me attempt |
W2:329.1 | is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this will | never change. As You are One, so am I one with You. And this I chose |
W2:331.1 | without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could | never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. |
W2:332.1 | illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth | never makes attack. It merely is. And by its presence is the mind |
W2:333.2 | dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone will | never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son. |
W2:335.1 | Forgiveness is a choice. I | never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. |
W2:WIM.5 | everywhere the signs of life spring up to show that what is born can | never die, for what has life has immortality. |
W2:343.1 | be loss. The gift of everything can but be gain. You only give. You | never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice |
W2:356.1 | Father, You promised You would | never fail to answer any call Your Son might make to You. It does not |
W2:E.6 | all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I will | never leave you comfortless. |
M:I.2 | what you are and what they are to you. No more than that, but also | never less. |
M:1.3 | the particular teaching aids involved. But the content of the course | never changes. Its central theme is always, “God's Son is guiltless, |
M:1.4 | is very tired now. It is old and worn and without hope. There was | never a question of outcome, for what can change the Will of God? But |
M:2.2 | corrects illusions, not the truth. Therefore it corrects what | never was. Further, the plan for this correction was established and |
M:2.2 | Answer given. In time this happened very long ago. In reality it | never happened at all. |
M:4.3 | In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are | never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the world, because |
M:4.12 | in all things, they are honest. They can only succeed because they | never do their will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the |
M:4.24 | it be restored to them in newness and in joy so glorious they could | never have conceived of such a change. Nothing is now as it was |

M:8.3 | and it sends the body's eyes to find it. The body's eyes will | never see except through differences. Yet it is not the messages they |
M:10.6 | Not one is true. For he has given up their cause, and they, which | never were but the effects of his mistaken choice, have fallen from |
M:11.3 | possible in this world? In your judgment it is not possible and can | never be possible. But in the Judgment of God, what is reflected here |
M:13.3 | no one doubts what he believes he is. He can doubt all things but | never this. |
M:16.10 | of one error and no more, he merely chooses to give up all that he | never had. And for this “sacrifice” is Heaven restored to his |
M:17.4 | these reactions are the same. They obscure the truth, and this can | never be a matter of degree. Either truth is apparent or it is not. |

M:17.5 | him safe from fury that can never be abated and vengeance that can | never be satisfied. |
M:17.7 | for what was done cannot be done without. The stain of blood can | never be removed, and anyone who bears this stain on him must meet |
M:17.8 | it is. If anger comes from an interpretation and not a fact, it is | never justified. Once this is even dimly grasped, the way is open. |
M:20.3 | fail to find it who but seeks out its conditions. God's peace can | never come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. Who |
M:23.2 | Indeed, he has already done so. Temptation may recur to others, but | never to this one. He has become the risen Son of God. He has |

Tx:31.13 | An ancient lesson is not overcome by the opposing of the | new and old. It is not vanquished that the truth be known nor fought |

W1:129.7 | willingness to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at | night and once more in between. Begin with this: |
W1:137.14 | ten minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude today at | night as well: |
W1:139.10 | Five minutes in the morning and at | night we will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for |
W1:R4.6 | the warming of the water by the sun, the silver of the moon on it by | night. So do we start each practice period in this review with |

W1:189.2 | a while. It blesses you throughout the day and watches through the | night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It sees salvation in you |
W1:193.14 | was made for this. Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning and | night, devote what time you can to serve its proper aim, and do not |
W2:I.2 | for Him. We will continue spending time with Him each morning and at | night, as long as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter |
W2:WS.4 | within their branches. Earth is being born again in new perception. | Night has gone, and we have come together in the light. |
M:16.5 | The same procedures should be followed at | night. Perhaps your quiet time should be fairly early in the evening |

Tx:2.16 | this release does not depend on the kind of “knowledge” which is | nothing more than deceiving lies. The knowledge which illuminates |

Tx:3.72 | to believe that a thought system which is based on lies is weak. | Nothing made by a Child of God is without power. It is essential to |

Tx:4.8 | on two foundations. Nothing can reach the Soul from the ego, and | nothing from the Soul can strengthen the ego or reduce the conflict |

Tx:4.14 | I have no right to set your learning limits for you. Once again— | nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish |
Tx:4.19 | Of your egos you can do | nothing to save yourselves or others, but of your Souls you can do |
Tx:4.19 | God for His creations, who are wholly worthy of Him and only of Him. | Nothing else is sufficiently worthy to be a gift for a creation of |
Tx:4.31 | to convince itself that it is real. “Self esteem” in ego terms means | nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into accepting its |
Tx:4.35 | its particular perception of magic. The “battle for survival” is | nothing more than the ego's struggle to preserve itself and its |
Tx:4.36 | is not in danger and does not need to be salvaged. Salvation is | nothing more than “right-mindedness,” which is not the One-Mindedness |

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:6.37 | 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:6.64 | 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:7.51 | 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:7.111 | 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:8.20 | 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 oppose His. God gave your will its power, |

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:8.43 | 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:8.60 | 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 | 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:9.44 | 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:9.59 | Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because | nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and |

Tx:9.60 | 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:17.18 | 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:17.74 | The holy instant is | nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of what every |

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:18.5 | 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 |

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 |

Tx:1.88 | Equality does not imply homogeneity | now. When everyone recognizes that he has everything, individual |
Tx:1.92 | correction must be introduced from the bottom up. This is because he | now operates in space, where concepts such as “up” and “down” are |
Tx:1.106 | usurpation, which in turn produced tyranny. I told you that you are | now restored to your former role in the plan of Atonement, but you |
Tx:2.11 | separation. None of this existed before, nor does it actually exist | now. The world was made as “a natural grand division,” or a |
Tx:2.52 | The emphasis will | now be on healing. The miracle is the means, the Atonement is the |
Tx:2.59 | that it is the highest level of communication of which he is capable | now. The whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of |
Tx:2.63 | merely means right-mindedness in the sense that we are | now using it. The right-minded neither exalt nor depreciate the mind |
Tx:2.70 | Most of the loftier concepts of which man is capable | now are time-dependent. Charity is really a weaker reflection of a |
Tx:2.70 | right-mindedness in the limited sense in which right-mindedness can | now be attained. Charity is a way of looking at another as if he had |
Tx:3.18 | instances separately. If you can accept the one generalization | now, there will be no need to learn from many smaller lessons. |
Tx:3.38 | and creates. These are its unequivocal functions.] The abilities man | now possesses are only shadows of his real strengths. All of his |
Tx:3.50 | the real meaning of the celestial speed-up. Strong wills can do this | now, and you will find rest for your Souls. God knows you only in |
Tx:3.51 | was accomplished by the union of my will with the Father's. We can | now make a distinction which will greatly facilitate clarity in our |
Tx:3.76 | belief that they are is implicit in the “self concept,” a concept | now made acceptable by its weakness and explained by a tendency of |
Tx:4.10 | Teaching and learning are your greatest strengths | now, because you must change your mind and help others change theirs. |
Tx:4.16 | because it is literally incredible. Do not believe the incredible | now. Any attempt to increase its believability is merely to postpone |
Tx:4.17 | totally without the investment in fear. Your investment is great | now because fear is a witness to the separation, and your ego |
Tx:4.26 | happened in the dim past when it is so clearly happening right | now? |
Tx:4.29 | you need precisely what would hurt you most. Whether you know it | now or not, however, you have willed to cooperate in a concerted and |
Tx:4.48 | It should be apparent to you by | now why the ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The ego arose from |
Tx:4.82 | Immortality is a constant state. It is as true | now as it ever was or ever will be because it implies no change at |
Tx:4.89 | This is only because I completed my part in it as a man and can | now complete it through other men. My chosen receiving and sending |
Tx:4.94 | It should be clear by | now that, while the content of any particular ego-illusion does not |
Tx:5.21 | guidance. You knew as you will know again, but as you do not know | now. God does not guide because He can share only perfect knowledge. |
Tx:5.26 | are not things; they are devotions. Yet you have other devotions | now. Your divided devotion has given you the two voices, and you must |
Tx:5.26 | must choose at which altar you will to serve. The call you answer | now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The decision itself is |
Tx:5.37 | without question. The only aspect of time which is really eternal is | now. That is what we really mean when we say that “now is the only |
Tx:5.48 | wise though incomplete. Let us make the distinction a little sharper | now. Neurotic guilt feelings are a device of the ego for “atoning” |
Tx:5.51 | as much as you learn and that will keep you in balance. The time is | now because you have let it be now. You cannot learn except by |
Tx:5.51 | will keep you in balance. The time is now because you have let it be | now. You cannot learn except by teaching. |
Tx:5.81 | the Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you need to learn | now is that only infinite patience can produce immediate effects. |
Tx:5.81 | Infinite patience calls upon infinite love, and by producing results | now, it renders time unnecessary. |
Tx:5.86 | upon his mind and enlighten it truly. As a result, he overlooked | now entirely and merely saw the continuity of past and future. |
Tx:5.93 | But the time is | now. You have not been asked to work out the plan of salvation |
Tx:6.23 | [It was as much intrapersonal as interpersonal then, just as it is | now, and it is still just as real. But because it is just as real |
Tx:6.23 | is now, and it is still just as real. But because it is just as real | now, its lesson, too, has equal reality when it is learned.] I do not |
Tx:6.30 | completely unalterable. It is total inclusion. You cannot change it | now or ever. It is forever true. It is not a belief but a fact. |
Tx:6.32 | nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness | now. You can no more pray for yourselves alone than you can find joy |
Tx:6.33 | in perfect alignment with the idea and therefore does not want it | now. |
Tx:6.47 | He answers for all time, which means that everyone has the answer | now. |
Tx:6.52 | abilities are meaningless. It is curious that the perfect must | now be perfected. In fact, it is impossible. You must remember, |
Tx:6.57 | Like any good teacher, the Holy Spirit does know more than you do | now, but He teaches only to make you equal with Him. This is because |
Tx:6.58 | believe in magic. You merely reassure them that they are safe | now. Then you train them to recognize the difference between sleeping |
Tx:6.63 | order of difficulty in miracles. This is familiar enough to you by | now, but it has not yet become believable. Therefore, you do not |
Tx:6.72 | increase conflict temporarily, and we can clarify this still further | now. |
Tx:6.81 | the fundamental change will occur. You are only beginning this step | now, but you have started on this way by realizing that only one way |
Tx:6.92 | that you perceive its wholeness and have learned that it is one. | Now you must be vigilant to hold its oneness in your minds because, |
Tx:6.95 | preserve what you made because it was not true. Therefore, you must | now turn your effort against it. Only this can cancel out the need |
Tx:7.7 | God [was said to] take was therefore true in the beginning, is true | now, and will be true forever. |
Tx:7.19 | the three apples are not there. But it is not true that the table is | now minus three apples. If there is nothing on the table, it does not |
Tx:8.110 | you will hear me. Listening to truth is the only way you can hear it | now and finally know it. |
Tx:9.13 | make perfect sense because they come from God. They are as sensible | now as they ever were, because they speak of ideas which are eternal. |
Tx:9.15 | so typical of the ego that you should be quite familiar with it by | now. The ego believes that all functions belong to it, even though it |
Tx:9.20 | of the ego. Let us consider the unhealed healer more carefully | now. By definition, he is trying to give what he has not received. If |
Tx:9.38 | because delay of joy is needless. God wills you perfect happiness | now. Is it possible that this is not also your will? And is it |
Tx:9.50 | When it experiences threat, its only decision is whether to attack | now or to withdraw to attack later. If you accept its offer of |
Tx:9.66 | possible has not yet been accomplished. Yet what has once been is so | now if it is eternal. When you remember, you will know what you |
Tx:9.66 | you will know what you remember is eternal and therefore is | now. |
Tx:9.81 | you always receive as much as you accept. You could accept peace | now for everyone you meet and offer them perfect freedom from all |
Tx:10.40 | be looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned by | now that fear is not real. We have accepted the fact already that its |
Tx:10.62 | accomplished, and it has been accomplished in you. This is as true | now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, |
Tx:10.62 | we ascend unto the Father together, as it was in the beginning, is | now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His |
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:12.45 | of illusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was | now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you will |
Tx:12.45 | your brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is | now. |
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:12.47 | 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, although it is not |
Tx:12.52 | Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach | |
Tx:12.52 | Now is the time of salvation, for | now is the release from time. Reach out to all your brothers and |
Tx:12.66 | only in the past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it | now. God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love |
Tx:13.23 | impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to find salvation | now? |
Tx:13.27 | Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what will be now. As | |
Tx:13.27 | Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what will be | now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in |
Tx:13.27 | you to heal and teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not | now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a |
Tx:13.42 | peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it | now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting |
Tx:13.47 | there alone their seeming clearness seems to be clearly seen. Let us | now turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy |
Tx:14.17 | and you who made these guardians of illusion out of nothing are | now afraid of them. |
Tx:14.38 | past, too, was changed and interposed between what always was and | now. The past which you remember never was and represents only the |
Tx:14.60 | have taught yourselves in the past by showing you only what you are | now. Learning has been accomplished before its effects are manifest. |
Tx:14.65 | it. And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me | now. |
Tx:15.6 | The ego teaches that Heaven is here and | now because the future is hell. Even when it attacks so savagely that |
Tx:15.9 | The Holy Spirit would undo all of this | now. Fear is not of the present but only of the past and future, |
Tx:15.9 | is there. No darkness is remembered, and immortality and joy are | now. |
Tx:15.10 | as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very instant, | now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you |
Tx:15.21 | Start | now to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. |
Tx:15.40 | You could live forever in the holy instant, beginning | now and reaching to eternity, but for a very simple reason. Do not |
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 |
W2:270.1 | returns to him. And now his will is one with Yours. His function | now is but Your own, and every thought except Your own is gone. |
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:13.1 | the nothingness from which it came when there is no more use for it. | Now its real meaning is a lesson. Like all lessons, it is an |
M:13.3 | what a sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed—all this entails! | Now has the mind condemned itself to seek without finding, to be |
M:13.6 | want? You have been called by God, and you have answered. Would you | now sacrifice that Call? Few have heard it as yet, and they can but |

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 |
