W1:76.8  review of the different kinds of “laws” we have believed we must  obey. These would include, for example, the laws of nutrition, of
W1:77.4  rights you are upholding the rights of everyone. Miracles do not  obey the laws of this world. They merely follow from the laws of God.
W1:127.6  we practice making free our minds of all the laws you think you must  obey, of all the limits under which you live, and all the changes

Tx:9.29  are not obeying the laws of this world, but that the laws you are  obeying work. “The good is what works” is a sound, though

Tx:19.72  the body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and  obeying the idea that pain is pleasure. It is this idea that

Tx:5.5  The higher mind thinks according to the laws which the Soul  obeys and therefore honors only the laws of God. To Him, getting is
Tx:5.60  disruptive. Anything that engenders fear is divisive because it  obeys the law of division. If the ego is the symbol of the
Tx:7.32 Healing is also a science, because it  obeys the laws of God, Whose laws are true. Because they are true,

object (8)

Tx:7.100  The undoing of pain must obviously avoid pain. Surely no one would  object to this goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether
Tx:8.1  actually a way of holding on to deprivation. You cannot reasonably  object to following instructions in a course for knowing on the
Tx:8.72  ego has a real investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you  object to the ego's firm belief that you are not invulnerable? This
Tx:15.72  is always physical closeness that the ego demands, and it does not  object where the mind goes or what it thinks, for this seems
Tx:29.52  Be it a body or a thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an  object owned or wanted, or a right demanded or achieved, it is the
W1:22.3  for at least a minute each time. As your eyes move slowly from one  object to another, from one body to another, say to yourself:
M:8.1  seen competes with every other in order to be recognized. A larger  object overshadows a smaller one. A brighter thing draws the

Tx:8.1  that you do not know. The need for the course is implicit in your  objection. Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course.

Tx:2.80  the first to the second type of strain described above but will not  obliterate the fear. It is possible to reach a state in which you
Tx:4.86  gap is then so small that knowledge can easily flow across it and  obliterate it forever. You have very little trust in me as yet, but
Tx:5.17  it in your mind, and although you can keep it asleep, you cannot  obliterate it.
Tx:7.40 Only minds communicate. Since the ego cannot  obliterate the impulse to communicate because it is also the impulse

Tx:4.36  perception is uniformly without attack, so that wrong-mindedness is  obliterated. The ego cannot survive without judgment and is laid
Tx:4.69  Sane judgment would inevitably judge against the ego and must be  obliterated by the ego in the interest of its self-preservation.

Tx:4.72  this because there is none, but it does have a typical solution. It  obliterates the question from the mind's awareness. Once unconscious,
M:4.14 —and fairly early in his training—that harmfulness completely  obliterates his function from his awareness. It will make him

Tx:11.79  given you a way to remember, you would have condemned yourselves to  oblivion.
Tx:12.23  reasonably satisfied with you, as its reasoning goes, it offers you  oblivion. When it becomes overtly savage, it offers you hell.
Tx:12.24 Yet neither  oblivion nor hell is as unacceptable to you as Heaven. For your
Tx:12.24  to you as Heaven. For your definition of Heaven is hell and  oblivion, and the real Heaven is the greatest threat you think you
Tx:12.24  is the greatest threat you think you could experience. For hell and  oblivion are ideas which you made up, and you are bent on
Tx:13.50  and be nothing except a dream, you must direct your thoughts unto  oblivion. And if you have and give and are everything, and all this

Tx:20.55  a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of water and set uncertainly upon  oblivion. Here does the Son of God stop briefly by to offer his
Tx:28.64  bolts. The wind will topple it, and rain will come and carry it into  oblivion.
W1:136.5  willingness to reconsider the decision which is doubly shielded by  oblivion. Your not remembering is but the sign that this decision
W1:166.9  has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep  oblivion and go the way you chose without your Self.

oblivious (1)

W1:183.6  this today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still again. Become  oblivious to every name but His.

obscure (66)

Tx:6.47  The most inventive activities of the ego have never done more than  obscure the question, because you have the answer and the ego is
Tx:7.9  the Kingdom or separated from it, thus making the Kingdom itself  obscure to both of you. Sickness and separation are not of God, but
Tx:7.9  Sickness and separation are not of God, but the Kingdom is. If you  obscure the Kingdom, you are perceiving what is not of God.
Tx:7.65  of God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this will  obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to you.
Tx:7.65  apart from this will obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore  obscure God to you. Unless you perceive His creation truly, you
Tx:8.41  through illusions, for only illusions of another direction can  obscure the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never
Tx:9.55  deprive you of your true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not  obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you lies in the joy you
Tx:10.3  to [the foundation of] the ego's thought system, the darker and more  obscure becomes the way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is
Tx:10.21  this knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that will  obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how to
Tx:10.72  the world as you perceive it. Truth is not absent here, but it is  obscure. You do not know the difference between what you have made
Tx:11.15  of the fog that obscures it. If you give no power to the fog to  obscure the light, it has none, for it has power only because the Son
Tx:12.47  created, there is no guilt in Him. No cloud of guilt has risen to  obscure Him, and He stands revealed in everyone you meet because you
Tx:12.49  yours, you share in this release. Let no dark cloud out of your past  obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you
Tx:13.77  sets you free. And it is His decision to undo everything that would  obscure your innocence from your unclouded mind.
Tx:14.16  that can terrify, not for what it is, but for its hiddenness. The  obscure is frightening because you do not understand its meaning. If
Tx:14.18  and of ignorance, look to them only for fear, for what they keep  obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful will be so
Tx:14.20  a means of reestablishing what has not been broken but has been made  obscure. All things you made have use to Him for His most holy
Tx:14.32  dark doors which you have closed lies nothing, because nothing can  obscure the gift of God. It is the closing of the doors that
Tx:14.42  upon it. Reflections are seen in light. In darkness they are  obscure, and their meaning seems to lie only in shifting
Tx:14.44  the world. The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not  obscure and will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is
Tx:14.44  and will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not  obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. All bring their
Tx:14.58  you have taught yourselves has made your power more and more  obscure to you. You know not what it is nor where. You have made a
Tx:14.60  light, for the light of darkness by which you try to see can only  obscure.
Tx:15.39  is of the ego and is nothing more than the ego's attempt to  obscure the obvious.
Tx:15.40  now and reaching to eternity, but for a very simple reason. Do not  obscure the simplicity of this reason, for if you do, it will be only
Tx:15.62  gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that you perceive  obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you will
Tx:16.55  attempt to raise other gods before Him and by worshiping them to  obscure their tininess and His greatness. In the name of your
Tx:17.63  successful, except that this attempt conflicts with unity and must  obscure the goal of truth. And peace will not be experienced except
Tx:18.18  of satisfaction would be gone. In dreams these features are not  obscure. You seem to waken, and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail
Tx:20.48 Love has no darkened temples where mysteries are kept  obscure and hidden from the sun. It does not seek for power, but for
Tx:21.13  And if you choose against it now, it will not be because it is  obscure, but rather that this little cost seemed in your judgment to
Tx:21.25  cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep  obscure the cause of the effect and make effect appear to be a cause.
Tx:24.2  question every value that you hold. Not one can be kept hidden and  obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral.
Tx:24.53  See in his freedom yours, for such it is. Let not his specialness  obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to
Tx:25.27 Nothing remains an instant to  obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the pitiful
Tx:25.44 —easier to see and better recognized. Somehow, the vague and more  obscure seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what
Tx:29.30 What is your brother for? You do not know because your function is  obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you imagine would
Tx:29.52  really are. That is the only power which they have. Their purpose is  obscure, and they are feared and worshiped both because you do not
Tx:30.53  appearances and not reality. Dwell not on them in any form. They but  obscure reality, and they bring fear because they hide the truth. Do
Tx:30.91  a prayer the miracle touch not some dreams but keep their unreality  obscure and give to them reality instead. And Heaven gives no answer
Tx:31.3  have been so overlearned and fixed they rise like heavy curtains to  obscure the simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them.
Tx:31.25  made in certainty and sureness of the road. A blindfold can indeed  obscure your sight but cannot make the way itself grow dark. And He
W1:9.7  you are honest in making this distinction. You may be tempted to  obscure it.
W1:49.4  shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and  obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that
W1:52.6  Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to  obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless
W1:64.1  not wander into temptation.” The purpose of the world you see is to  obscure your function of forgiveness and provide you with a
W1:78.11  very quiet now and look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances  obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express
W1:81.4 Let me not  obscure the light of the world in me. Let the light of the world
W1:84.5  completely alien to love. Grievances attack love and keep its light  obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking love and therefore
W1:94.2  and light as well. You are as God created you. Darkness cannot  obscure the glory of the Son of God. You stand in light, strong in
W1:127.2 Love's meaning is  obscure to anyone who thinks that love can change. He does not see
W1:135.18  your reality which is the “threat” that your defenses would attack,  obscure, and take apart and crucify.
W1:136.18  of truth. There will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their  obscure and meaningless pursuits with double purposes insanely
W1:152.4 This is the simplest of distinctions, yet the most  obscure. But not because it is a difficult distinction to perceive.
W1:159.3  love and the rebirth of love which never died but has been kept  obscure. Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like
W1:159.5  there, transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and never able to  obscure the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has been restored
W1:165.1  truth which lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death  obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your Father wills
W1:169.10  that you have work to do to play your part. The ending must remain  obscure to you until your part is done. It does not matter. For your

W2:250.1  the Son of God today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to  obscure the holy light in him and see his strength diminished and
W2:265.1  shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my “sins”  obscure the light of Heaven, shining on the world. What is reflected
W2:298.2  gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from everything that would  obscure my love for God, my Father, and His holy Son.
W2:299.2  by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can  obscure it but cannot put out its radiance nor dim its light. It
W2:304.1 I can  obscure my holy sight if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold
M:17.4  out. It does not matter. All of these reactions are the same. They  obscure the truth, and this can never be a matter of degree. Either
M:27.3  out in the idea, which holds it from awareness like a shield held to  obscure the sun. The grimness of the symbol is enough to show it

Tx:2.68  all his corrective behavior will be misdirected. The real vision is  obscured, because man cannot endure to see his own defiled altar. But
Tx:2.102  in its oneness does transcend the sum of its parts. However, this is  obscured as long as any of its parts are missing. That is why the
Tx:7.8  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 fully

Tx:13.88 When you have let all that  obscured the truth in your most holy mind be undone for you and stand
Tx:14.32 In the darkness you have  obscured the glory God gave you and the power He bestowed upon His

Tx:22.65  of the ego with this gift. For it was given you to be used and not  obscured. What teaches you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let
Tx:23.18  be; where either goes the other disappears. So is the memory of God  obscured in minds that have become illusion's battleground. Yet far
Tx:24.10  separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share becomes  obscured from both of you. You would oppose this course because it
Tx:25.76  and cannot fairly see another's rights because his own have been  obscured to him.
Tx:26.70  and its effects will come to you. In this form is the error still  obscured that is the source of fear. Salvation would wipe out the

Tx:12.47  and look without condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which  obscures God's Son to you is the past, and if you would have it past
Tx:25.17  purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate purpose that  obscures the picture and cherishes the frame instead of it. Yet God
Tx:26.45  in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you think is friend  obscures His grace and majesty from you and keeps His friendship and
Tx:26.78  Forget not that a shadow held between your brother and yourself  obscures the face of Christ and memory of God. And would you trade
Tx:31.26  but only for your own. Whatever form his sins appear to take, it but  obscures the fact that you believe them to be yours and therefore
W1:130.2  you cannot see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear  obscures in darkness what is there.

obscuring (8)

Tx:6.27  spurious grounds that it makes you seem “better” than they are, thus  obscuring your equality with them still further. Projection and
Tx:11.2 The analysis of ego-motivation is very complicated, very  obscuring, and never without the risk of your own ego-involvement.
Tx:12.27  reactions to those you meet now from a past reference point,  obscuring their present reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's
Tx:25.16  frame is all there is to see. The body holds it for a while without  obscuring it in any way. Yet what God has created needs no frame, for
Tx:27.54 Pain demonstrates the body must be real. It is a loud,  obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what the Holy Spirit says
W1:41.4  hidden deep within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and  obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first
W2:259.1  and suffering? And what but this could be the source of fear,  obscuring God's creation, giving love the attributes of fear and of
M:13.2  seeking after such things, the mind associates itself with the body,  obscuring its identity and losing sight of what it really is.

W1:133.12  to believe, because its obviousness is overlaid with many levels of  obscurity. If you feel any guilt about your choice, you have allowed
W1:138.11  for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate demands  obscurity for fear to be invested there. Now it is recognized as but
W1:164.5  visible, while all the shadows which appeared to hide it sink to  obscurity. Now is the balance righted and the scales of judgment left

Tx:30.14 Try to  observe this rule without delay despite your opposition. For you have
W1:44.7  choose to stop it. It is merely taking its natural course. Try to  observe your passing thoughts without involvement and slip quietly by
W1:R3.1  the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We will  observe a special format for these practice periods, which you are
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we will  observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our

W1:37.6 Then close your eyes and apply the idea to any person who  occurs to you, using his name and saying:

Tx:11.37  of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not wholly split  off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your mind that
Tx:13.50  and all this has been denied, your thought system is closed  off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane world, and
Tx:14.17  love cannot share its healing power, because it has been separated  off and kept in darkness. The sentinels of darkness watch over it
Tx:14.22  meaningless. But He will separate out all that has meaning, dropping  off the rest and offering your true communication to those who would
Tx:15.42 Every thought you would keep hidden shuts communication  off because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize

Tx:24.27  yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to split you  off from God and make you separate from Him as its defender. You
Tx:24.28  But specialness is not the truth in you. It can be thrown  off balance by anything. What rests on nothing never can be stable.
Tx:25.15  is the frame without its meaning. Its purpose is to set the picture  off and not itself.
Tx:25.25  it is perceived. For specialness it is the perfect frame to set it  off—the perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter
Tx:25.35  remote and far away from you. And they go farther and farther  off because the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away
Tx:25.70  understandable to sinners because they think that justice is split  off from love and stands for something else.

Tx:26.31  Heaven's song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander  off, alone and miserable, down a road which leads to nothing and
Tx:26.54  a little space to you, another little space to him. This separating  off is symbolized in your perception by a body which is clearly
Tx:27.3  writ in Heaven in your blood and death and go before him, closing  off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this is writ in hell and
Tx:27.23  as the one more innocent than he. This splits his function  off from yours and gives you both a different role. And so you cannot
Tx:28.23  not be the maker of the dream. Effect and cause are first split  off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; the cause,
Tx:28.47 What is a sense of sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting  off and separating from? A gap perceived between [ourselves] and what
Tx:28.47  good is seen outside; the evil, in. And thus is sickness separating  off the self from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to
Tx:29.4  of space between two separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing  off your separate minds. It is the symbol of a promise made to meet
Tx:29.44  something more than everything, as if a part of it were separated  off and found where all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he

Tx:29.58  place of darkness set where all is light, a dismal alcove separated  off from what is endless, has no place to be. An idol is beyond where
Tx:29.62  he who judges will have need of idols which will hold the judgment  off from resting on himself. Nor can he know the Self he has
Tx:30.21  But this much reason have you now attained—you would be better  off if you were wrong.
Tx:30.40  could this be so. For sin is the idea you are alone and separated  off from what is whole. And thus it would be necessary for the search
Tx:31.76  your brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him  off from you and you away from him. The sword of judgment is the

Tx:3.29  and in others simultaneously. Because you see them as they are, you  offer them your own validation of their truth. This is the healing
Tx:4.4  as often as you choose. But this is not the Gospel I intended to  offer you. We have another journey to undertake, and if you will read
Tx:4.6  frequently in the Bible. To profess is to identify with an idea and  offer the idea to others to be their own. The idea does not lessen;
Tx:4.48  Having reduced the Soul impulses to the unconscious, the ego has to  offer you some sort of reward for maintaining this belief. All it can

Tx:4.50  a kind of experience which is so different from anything the ego can  offer that you will never recover. The word “recover” is used quite

Tx:8.42  you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to  offer. The world can add nothing to the power and the glory of God

Tx:9.50  to attack now or to withdraw to attack later. If you accept its  offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately. If you do not, it

Tx:9.81  as you accept. You could accept peace now for everyone you meet and  offer them perfect freedom from all illusions because you heard. But
Tx:9.100  and you are of God. Would He allow Himself to suffer? And would He  offer His Son anything that is not acceptable to Him?
Tx:10.4  will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from our Father to  offer you everything again. Do not refuse it in order to keep a dark
Tx:10.21  willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you will merely  offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you will

Tx:11.16  call for love and offer your brother what he believes he cannot  offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You
Tx:11.16  the call for love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to  offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your
Tx:11.23  and carefully planned program aimed at learning how to  offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to
Tx:11.52  divided, and the means and the end are in complete accord. You need  offer only undivided attention. Everything else will be given you.
Tx:11.77  For if love is sharing, how can you find it except through itself?  Offer it and it will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But
Tx:11.77  Offer it and it will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But  offer attack and it will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace.
Tx:11.81  What is not real cannot be seen and has no value. God could not  offer His Son what has no value, nor could His Son receive it. You

Tx:12.37  of fear you have invited into it, and all the love your brothers  offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon your

Tx:12.40  given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you must  offer them to recognize His gift to you.
Tx:12.54  for it, and in their joy, they shine with holy thanks. And this they  offer you, who gave them joy. They are your guides to joy, for having
Tx:12.64  errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always  offer you the Will of God in recognition that you share it with Him.
Tx:12.67  nothing fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you  offer knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real
Tx:13.5  the miracle of creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you  offer to the Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of
Tx:13.6  all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He will  offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There is
Tx:13.7  gift you can bestow, and your Father's gift you cannot lose.  Offer Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered
Tx:13.16  truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every condemnation that you  offer the Son of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you
Tx:13.16  If you would have the Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His  offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is
Tx:13.31  upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon his holiness and  offer thanks unto his Father that no guilt has ever touched him.
Tx:13.33  you. I love all that He created, and all my faith and my belief I  offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I give my
Tx:13.33  for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you will let me  offer to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is of God.
Tx:13.48  can learn to bless and cannot give what you have not. If, then, you  offer blessing, it must have come first to yourself. And you must
Tx:13.49 That is why your miracles  offer you the testimony that you are blessed. If what you offer is
Tx:13.49  miracles offer you the testimony that you are blessed. If what you  offer is complete forgiveness, you must have let guilt go, accepting
Tx:13.58  make but need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you.  Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it gently in the holy place
Tx:13.65  of value, each representing an escape from what the other does not  offer you. You do not want either alone, for without both, you do not
Tx:13.69  happiness that comes from choosing to be free of guilt. Everyone you  offer healing to returns it. Everyone you attack keeps it and
Tx:13.69  will make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible to  offer what you do not want without this penalty. The cost of giving
Tx:13.72  in place of all the happy teaching the Holy Spirit would gladly  offer him.
Tx:13.75  Would you be content with little, which is all that you alone can  offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it
Tx:13.75  can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything will simply  offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done to make you
Tx:13.90  thus are darkness and deceit undone. Fail not yourself, but instead  offer to God and you His blameless Son. For this small gift of
Tx:14.33  be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you  offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His Son. For they
Tx:14.33  to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then,  offer it to His Son. For they are not apart, and gifts to one are
Tx:14.45  without regard for what is brought to it. Those who have learned to  offer only healing because of the reflection of holiness in them are
Tx:14.57  Nor will the power of all His love be absent from any miracle you  offer to His Son. How, then, can there be any order of difficulty
Tx:14.66  His rightful place in your awareness the instant you abandon it and  offer it to Him.
Tx:15.7  threat, for it would have its worshipers still believe that it can  offer the escape from it. But the belief in guilt must lead to the
Tx:15.12  be willing to give Him this than for Him to use this tiny instant to  offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this instant, He
Tx:15.13  of release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you  offer and will receive. They attest to your willingness to be
Tx:15.13  will receive. They attest to your willingness to be released and to  offer time to the Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an
Tx:15.14  is your instantaneous escape from guilt. You must be holy if you  offer holiness. How long is an instant? As long as it takes to
Tx:15.15  be remembered for you in that shining instant of perfect release.  Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the Holy Spirit and
Tx:15.16  will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly  offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the
Tx:15.23  for you will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you  offer as a substitute is much too poor a gift to satisfy you. It is
Tx:15.27  minds, untouched by every little gift the world of littleness would  offer you. But for this, you cannot side against Him in what He wills
Tx:15.32  have learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to  offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in need of
Tx:15.47  it? To believe that special relationships, with special love, can  offer you salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. For
Tx:15.49  under His care and be sure that it will not result in pain if you  offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the
Tx:15.54  needs them all equally, and so do you. In time you have been told to  offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit bring to you
Tx:15.57  in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find without. I  offer you my perfect faith in you in place of all your doubt. But
Tx:15.69  truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them, you will  offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know,
Tx:15.79  of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to utilize whatever you  offer Him on behalf of this. His concern and care for you are
Tx:15.89  you would see without the limits the ego would impose on them can  offer you the gift of freedom.
Tx:15.93  his unlimited power is thus restored to him. What other gift can you  offer me, when only this I will to offer you? And to see me is to see
Tx:15.93  to him. What other gift can you offer me, when only this I will to  offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer everyone
Tx:15.93  this I will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and  offer everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving
Tx:15.93  to see me is to see me in everyone and offer everyone the gift you  offer me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and
Tx:15.93  And by this limitation, you have limited acceptance of the gift I  offer you.
Tx:15.99  appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but seems to  offer kindness, but always to make the sacrifice complete.
Tx:15.108  peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you  offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than to
Tx:15.108  no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you offer me the love I  offer you. What can be more joyous than to perceive we are deprived
Tx:16.6 The triumph of weakness is not what you would  offer to a brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not
Tx:16.6  your role with His, for this will never bring peace to anyone.  Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His perception and His strength
Tx:16.6  is His perception and His strength that you would share. And let Him  offer you His strength and His perception to be shared through you.
Tx:16.25  Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they  offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who
Tx:16.37  without which you could never be complete. No specialness can  offer you what God has given and what you are joined with Him in
Tx:17.15  no one not obsessed with keeping separation could hear them. They  offer you the “reasons” why you should enter into unholy alliances
Tx:17.24  let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the past could ever  offer to the present as witnesses for its reality, while what is kept
Tx:17.26  me. Let me enter in the Name of God and bring you peace that you may  offer peace to me.
Tx:17.33  defend. The underlying basis for their effectiveness is that they  offer what they defend. What they defend is placed in them for

Tx:18.36  to those who think that they must first atone, but only to those who  offer it nothing more than simple willingness to make way for it.
Tx:18.42  the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only to  offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred
Tx:18.46  of your relationship is threatened by anything, stop instantly and  offer the Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him
Tx:18.48  for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to  offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and
Tx:19.10  Atonement for yourself and would therefore share it. By faith you  offer the gift of freedom from the past, which you received. You do
Tx:19.12  and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you  offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his
Tx:19.13  altar where the grace was given, in which it stands. Do you, then,  offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the same
Tx:19.32  as mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow and  offer His creation to its conqueror. Is this humility or madness?
Tx:19.38  you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy Spirit asks that you  offer Him a resting-place where you will rest in Him. He answered you
Tx:19.53  found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They  offer you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see
Tx:19.57 Yet would I  offer you my body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would
Tx:19.98  And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here together will  offer you the innocence you need and that you will accept it for my
Tx:19.103  crucified by sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would you not  offer him forgiveness, when only he can offer it to you? For his
Tx:19.103  from pain. Would you not offer him forgiveness, when only he can  offer it to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as surely
Tx:19.104 There is no grace of Heaven that you cannot  offer to each other and receive from your most holy Friend. Let him
Tx:19.104  most holy Friend. Let him withhold it not, for by receiving it you  offer it to him. [For he will receive of you what you received of
Tx:19.105  Think who your brother is before you would condemn him. And  offer thanks to God that he is holy and has been given the gift of
Tx:19.106  the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you  offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of
Tx:19.107  look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within himself.  Offer each other freedom and complete release from sin here in the
Tx:19.108  Heaven is the gift you owe each other, the debt of gratitude you  offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is and what his Father
Tx:20.2  And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God and not his sins.  Offer each other the gift of lilies, not the crown of thorns; the
Tx:20.5  your brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? Learn you but  offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it for what it is and
Tx:20.6  bodies if they be truly given and received. For bodies can neither  offer nor accept; hold out nor take. Only the mind can value, and
Tx:20.7  is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom the gift is offered.  Offer him thorns and you are crucified. Offer him lilies and it is
Tx:20.7  to whom the gift is offered. Offer him thorns and you are crucified.  Offer him lilies and it is yourself you free.
Tx:20.8  need for lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I  offer him forgiveness when he offers thorns to me? For he who offers
Tx:20.8  the altar in your chosen home and see what you have laid upon it to  offer me. If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red
Tx:20.8  light, the body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you  offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them
Tx:20.15  each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom wait, to  offer and receive the bright awareness that leads you home. The lamp
Tx:20.42  harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you will one day  offer to each other already offered you. And here the limitless
Tx:20.43  And yet, have faith that He Who sees the gift in both of you will  offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision will you
Tx:20.44  in him. What is he, that the Creator of the universe should  offer it to him and know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself
Tx:20.48  idols thrive. The rest it merely throws away, for all that it could  offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the ego seeks as many bodies as
Tx:20.55  upon oblivion. Here does the Son of God stop briefly by to  offer his devotion to death's idols, and then pass on. And here he is
Tx:20.58  of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so little or could  offer more.
Tx:21.13  have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you  offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very
Tx:21.17  to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the little gift you  offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give
Tx:21.31  What faith you give to sin you take away from holiness. And what you  offer holiness has been removed from sin.
Tx:22.42  given to everyone. For you are here to let it be received. God's  offer still is open, yet it waits acceptance. From you who have
Tx:22.44 How easy is it to  offer this miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for
Tx:22.59  which can be extended. Save no dark secrets that He cannot use, but  offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He will take each one
Tx:22.59  gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each little gift you  offer to the other lights up the world. Be not concerned with
Tx:23.46  to murder and to die. Think you the form that murder takes can  offer safety? Can guilt be absent from a battlefield? [Do not remain
Tx:23.48  hold the universe? Can it create and be what it creates? And can it  offer its creations all that it is and never suffer loss?
Tx:23.54  suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can  offer something that you can win. Can it be anything that offers you
Tx:23.55  for on the battleground is of the body—something it seems to  offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything could seek
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away God gave your brother, whose holy hands would  offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your
Tx:24.45  thing that He beholds and loves. And seeks it still, that each might  offer you the love of God.
Tx:24.47  this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down to you to  offer you your own completion. What is His is yours because in your
Tx:24.57  and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other choice can  offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while
Tx:24.71  purpose. Not identical, not even like, but still a means to  offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on God's
Tx:25.20  not be glad if you appreciate His masterpiece? What could He do but  offer thanks to you who love His Son as He does? Would He not make
Tx:25.23  other law than this. The rest but stems from this, to hold it up and  offer it support. This is perception's form adapted to this world of
Tx:25.29  from the belief there are two ways to see. This world has much to  offer to your peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness.
Tx:25.29  to those who want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them and  offer them the light.
Tx:25.35  your peace can never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who  offer peace to everyone have found a home in Heaven the world cannot
Tx:25.41  you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he is free to  offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has no need
Tx:25.58  does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees within the world  offer him less and less— until he comes to understand it cost him
Tx:25.73  Son He loves and would protect from all unfairness you might seek to  offer, believing vengeance is his proper due.
Tx:26.17  away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will that you should  offer or receive less than He gave when He created you in perfect
Tx:27.3  beyond attack and prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you  offer him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy
Tx:27.17  it has never suffered pain because of him. And in its healing can it  offer him mute testimony of his innocence. It is this testimony which
Tx:27.17  tongues. 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
Tx:27.39  illusions, which of them are true? Which ones establish peace and  offer joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this
Tx:27.44  ask another to be healed. But he can let himself be healed and thus  offer the other what he has received. Who can bestow upon another
Tx:28.12  instant given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed to  offer all its treasures to the Son of God, for whom they have been
Tx:28.12  to the Son of God, for whom they have been kept. How gladly does He  offer them unto the one for whom He has been given them! And His
Tx:28.23  they adopted as their own. And hate it for the vengeance it would  offer them. It is their vengeance on the body which appears to prove
Tx:29.7  seen as treacherous because it seems to come and go uncertainly and  offer no stability to you. You do not see how limited and weak is
Tx:29.32  peace in you can but be found in him. And every thought of love you  offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to peace eternal and
Tx:29.50  this idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and  offer death.
Tx:29.59  he worshiped them and still attempts to seek for one that yet might  offer him a gift reality does not contain. Each worshiper of idols
Tx:30.31  advisor for yourself and for the world as well. The day you want you  offer to the world, for it will be what you have asked for and will
Tx:30.56  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. He is delivered
Tx:30.70  on this forgiveness rests and is but natural. You are not asked to  offer pardon where attack is due and would be justified. For this
Tx:30.85  would perceive it everywhere, unchanged by circumstance. And so you  offer it to all events, and let them offer you stability.
Tx:30.85  by circumstance. And so you offer it to all events, and let them  offer you stability.
Tx:30.93  is a miracle already there to heal all things that change and  offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be
Tx:31.33 There is a tendency to think the world can  offer consolation and escape from problems which its purpose is to
Tx:31.34 Real choice is no illusion. But the world has none to  offer. All its roads but lead to disappointment, nothingness, and
Tx:31.35  before you really learn they are but one. The roads this world can  offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must come when
Tx:31.38 The learning that the world can  offer but one choice, no matter what its form may be, is the
Tx:31.70  when you have reached the world beyond the sight your eyes alone can  offer you to see. For you will not interpret what you see without the

W1:137.12 Would you not  offer shelter to God's Will? You but invite your Self to be at home,
W1:137.13  to receive a gift like this? Is not a little time a small expense to  offer for the gift of everything?
W1:137.16  imagined. Now we come together to make well all that was sick and  offer blessing where there was attack. Nor will we let this function
W1:138.5  through learning how to reach them, what they are, and what they  offer you. Decisions are the outcome of your learning, for they rest
W1:140.14  and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds nor  offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we
W1:R4.6  understand the lessons that we read and see the meaning which they  offer us.
W1:R4.7  of your mind to learn what each idea you will review that day can  offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear it of all
W1:151.3  can you judge? Your judgment rests upon the witness that your senses  offer you. Yet witness never falser was than this. But how else do
W1:153.11  has been accomplished. For you will not see the light until you  offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so
W1:153.16  At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we can  offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we will forget. At other times
W1:154.9  for that is part of your appointed role. He has not failed to  offer what you need, nor has it been left unaccepted. Yet another
W1:155.12  of your full intent? What way could give you more than everything or  offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The
W1:156.4  because of you. All things that live bring gifts to you and  offer them in gratitude and gladness at your feet. The scent of
W1:157.6  like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can  offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the same experience in
W1:158.10  provides another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you and  offer you the peace of God.
W1:160.9 Today we  offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for what
W1:161.1  and take a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and  offer room to love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we
W1:164.8  as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on us and  offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision, now our
W1:164.8  a clean and open space within your mind where Christ can come and  offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your most holy
W1:166.12  The gifts 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
W1:166.15 Betray it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can  offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in
W1:169.7  but this is now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you will  offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means. All
W1:R5.3  walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You  offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You
W1:183.10  same release you found. You can remember what the world forgot and  offer it your own remembering. You can accept today the part you play
W1:185.5  Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would  offer nothing more than all the others. Dreams are one to him. And he
W1:185.7  in the place of shifting dreams which seem to change in what they  offer, but are one in nothingness.
W1:186.4  have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will  offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our
W1:187.9  your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you  offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely
W1:187.11  anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we  offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be
W1:188.4  the light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to  offer to the world.
W1:195.2 It is insane to  offer thanks because of suffering. But it is equally insane to fail
W1:195.4 You do not  offer God your gratitude because your brother is more slave than you,
W1:195.4  And gratitude can only be sincere if it is joined to love. We  offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will find their
W1:195.6  completion. We give thanks for every living thing, for otherwise we  offer thanks for nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of God to
W1:195.7  their tired heads against our shoulders as they rest a while. We  offer thanks for them. For if we can direct them to the peace that we
W1:197.3 The world must thank you when you  offer it release from your illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you
W1:197.9  God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to  offer thanks to you.
W1:R6.11 To Him I  offer this review for you. I place you in His charge and let Him
W1:R6.11  to be available to you each time you call to Him to help you. Let us  offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not forget
W1:212.1  vain illusions of the world. Only the function God has given me can  offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this will I accept as mine.
W2:I.4  earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We will  offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be
W2:236.2  and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind and  offer it to You. Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.
W2:253.2  is but Your will in perfect union with my own, which can but  offer glad assent to Yours that It may be extended to itself.
W2:258.1  in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which  offer nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow God's
W2:270.2  to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we  offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created
W2:WIHS.3  by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. And if you  offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to
W2:283.2  as our only Source and everything created part of us. And so we  offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world,

W2:304.2  salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to  offer to Your holy Son that he may find again the memory of You and
W2:306.1 What but Christ's vision would I use today when it can  offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an

W2:315.2  God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I  offer them my thankfulness that gratitude to them may lead me on to
W2:318.2 Let me today, my Father, take the role You  offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. For thus
W2:325.1  a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to  offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys
W2:330.1  and thus escape forever from all things the dream of fear appears to  offer us.
W2:332.2  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 as prisoners
W2:339.2  but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You  offer me, accepting only thoughts You share with me.
W2:344.1  or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion  offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth
W2:345.2 Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to  offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for
W2:345.2  to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we will  offer what we have received.
W2:357.1 Forgiveness, truth's reflection, tells me how to  offer miracles and thus escape the prison house in which I think I

W2:FL.4  Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother who can  offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and life that show the
M:5.9  to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can  offer you. Would you choose sickness in place of this?

Tx:24.49  His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your brother,  offered you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear before

Tx:15.22  is and why you could never be content with it. Littleness is the  offering you gave yourself. You offered this in place of magnitude,

Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this little  offering. Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply see in it
Tx:22.22  life or death; either you are each other's savior or his judge,  offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This course will be believed

Tx:25.87  the same for everyone, because it sees no differences in them. Its  offering is universal, and it teaches but one message:
Tx:27.16  merely errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving,  offering salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken body shows
Tx:27.76 He represents his Father, Whom you see as  offering both life and death to you. Brother, He gives but life. Yet

W1:197.3  Your gratitude is all your gifts require that they be a lasting  offering of a thankful heart released from hell forever. Is it this
W1:198.14  could give him gifts when everything is his? And who could dream of  offering forgiveness to the Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him

Tx:12.8  it for yourself. You have recognized the futility of the ego and its  offerings, but though you do not want the ego, you do not look upon
Tx:14.37  your altars, for nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager  offerings are brought together with the gift of God, and only what is
Tx:15.30  lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little  offerings you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God,
Tx:20.5  all the useless things made for its eyes to see. Think on the many  offerings made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to
Tx:20.48  what they are, it does not even see. It wants them solely for the  offerings on which its idols thrive. The rest it merely throws away,

Tx:6.37  Wherever He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He  offers the whole Kingdom always. This is the one message God gave to
Tx:7.61 If you will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit  offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God and His
Tx:8.2  His Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge  offers you, but it is clear that you do not regard this as wholly
Tx:9.49  you will not tolerate self-abasement and seek relief. Then it  offers you the illusion of attack as a solution.
Tx:9.78  whether its offering is really what you want, for this is what it  offers you. To obtain this you are willing to attack the divinity of

Tx:11.98  it real and then atoning for it. This is the ego's plan, which it  offers instead of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement
Tx:12.23  as it is reasonably satisfied with you, as its reasoning goes, it  offers you oblivion. When it becomes overtly savage, it offers you
Tx:12.23  goes, it offers you oblivion. When it becomes overtly savage, it  offers you hell.
Tx:12.27  go. You thus deny yourself the message of release that every brother  offers you now.
Tx:12.30  for now is the closest approximation of eternity which this world  offers. It is in the reality of now, without past or future, that the
Tx:12.51 The present  offers you your brothers in the light that would unite you with them

Tx:14.31  which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit  offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and
Tx:14.40  with God beside you. Yet without Him you are nothing. The Atonement  offers you God. The gift which you refused is held by Him in you. His
Tx:14.51 The miracle  offers exactly the same response to every call for help. It does not
Tx:14.51  in it. The power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it  offers everything to every call from anyone. There is no order of
Tx:14.52  and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a brother really  offers you, but only to the particular perception of his offering by
Tx:14.69  binds not you. He does not see time as you do. And each miracle He  offers you corrects your use of time and makes it His.
Tx:14.70  He is there and works through you. And all His works are yours. He  offers you a miracle with every one you let Him do through you.
Tx:15.3  for you to find peace even in the death it wants for you, it  offers you immortality in hell. It speaks to you of Heaven but

Tx:17.68  it will carry you straight to illusions. Be tempted not by what it  offers you. It interferes not with the goal, but with the value of
Tx:17.68  the value of the goal to you. Accept not the illusion of peace it  offers, but look upon its offering and recognize it is illusion.
Tx:18.77  above it and surrounding it with love is the glorious whole, which  offers all its happiness and deep content to every part. The little
Tx:18.81  its glad coming. In the holy instant, you ask of love only what it  offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you
Tx:19.13 Your holy relationship, with its new purpose,  offers you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness had
Tx:19.59  to the first, is the belief that the body is valuable for what it  offers. For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the body
Tx:19.66  and all the world will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone  offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its power is
Tx:19.102 Beside each of you is one who  offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the Holy Spirit is in him.
Tx:19.103  to you to share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still  offers you salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the
Tx:20.6  mind decides on what it would receive and give. And every gift it  offers depends on what it wants. It will adorn its chosen home most

Tx:20.40 How can you estimate the worth of him who  offers peace to you? What would you want except his offering? His
Tx:20.43  and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's body  offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as well. He is the
Tx:20.53  in a false attraction, your preference to the holy instant which  offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the body and
Tx:20.54  and love shines on it with the gentle smile and tender blessing it  offers to its own. Here the unholy instant is exchanged in gladness
Tx:20.65  sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the Holy Spirit  offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve
Tx:20.68  be free of misery and learn again of joy? Your holy relationship  offers all this to you. As it was given you, so will be its effects.

Tx:22.17 Truth is the opposite of illusions because it  offers joy. What else but joy could be the opposite of misery? To
Tx:22.45  Reality opposes nothing. What merely is needs no defense and  offers none. Only illusions need defense because of weakness. And how
Tx:22.46  needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy Spirit  offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is carved
Tx:22.58  the Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to whom He  offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He will bestow them
Tx:23.54  can offer something that you can win. Can it be anything that  offers you a perfect calmness and a sense of love so deep and quiet
Tx:23.55  What can conflict with everything? And what is there that  offers less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the love of God
Tx:24.3  To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose. Love  offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering,
Tx:24.23  its purpose must be given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but  offers treachery to giver and receiver. Not one glance from eyes it
Tx:24.34  hated and worthy only of destruction. Whatever gentleness it  offers is but deception, but its hate is real. In danger of
Tx:24.41  form; however lovely it may seem to be; however much it delicately  offers the hope of peace and the escape from pain—in which you
Tx:24.46  upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He  offers you that you may save all living things from death, receiving
Tx:24.46  receiving from each one the gift of life that your forgiveness  offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The
Tx:25.16  created He supports and frames within Himself. His masterpiece He  offers you to see. And would you rather see the frame instead of
Tx:25.21  to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He  offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you
Tx:25.40  other and save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior  offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In
Tx:25.40  by you, your savior offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he  offers death to you. In everyone you see but the reflection of what
Tx:25.43  kindness of his sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it  offers others. For he would only heal and only bless. And being in
Tx:25.71  You are not asked to trust Him far. No further than what you see He  offers you and what you recognize you could not give yourself.
Tx:25.85  be received because another could receive it not. Only forgiveness  offers miracles. And pardon must be just to everyone.
Tx:26.6  sings to you. And let the world recede and take the rest his witness  offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no
Tx:26.11 The Holy Spirit  offers you release from every problem that you think you have. They
Tx:26.14  punish him because you find him guilty and would have him die. God  offers you the means to see his innocence. Would it be fair to punish
Tx:26.25  done nothing to forgive. Forgiveness always rests upon the one who  offers it until he sees himself as needing it no more. And thus is he
Tx:26.25  he returned to his real function of creating, which his forgiveness  offers him again.
Tx:26.63  death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every instant  offers life to him because his Father wills that he should live.
Tx:26.69  From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness  offers now. The interval you think lies in between the giving and
Tx:26.83  where you walk forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on earth but  offers thanks to one who has restored his home and sheltered him from
Tx:27.3  him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit  offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which there is no
Tx:27.42  hear an answer which is not entailed within the question asked. It  offers something new and different from the question. How could it be
Tx:27.76  Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother  offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to you. Let
Tx:28.5  within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and  offers you the pictures of injustices and hurts which you were
Tx:28.12 He to Whom time is given  offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that instant
Tx:28.44  separate piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he  offers his identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of
Tx:29.38  grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly  offers peace instead of this.
Tx:30.41 It never is the idol that you want. But what you think it  offers you, you want indeed and have the right to ask for. Nor could
Tx:31.44  and it looks at times with pity on the suffering and sometimes  offers solace. It believes that it is good within an evil world.
Tx:31.82  And they cannot see until he looks on them with seeing eyes and  offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God says,
W1:37.1  your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it  offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything
W1:42.1  you power. And it is His gift to you, rather than your own, which  offers vision to you.

Tx:21.57  Here was the Holy Spirit's purpose accepted and accomplished both at  once. Reason is alien to insanity, and those who use it have gained a
Tx:21.73  an enemy, but this will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at  once to find another and never comes to rest in victory. And as it
Tx:21.88  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 always, being what
Tx:22.41  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 them,
Tx:23.6  kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you  once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How
Tx:24.6  with it. And thus does specialness become a means and end at  once. For specialness not only sets apart but serves as grounds from

Tx:25.42  your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look  once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he

Tx:26.24  where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what  once was specialness and now is union? All illusions are but one. And
Tx:26.27  to the Source of its creation? The holiest of altars is set where  once sin was believed to be. And here does every light of heaven come
Tx:26.29 Where sin  once was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to

W1:91.10  mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their  opposites to take their place. Say, for example:

W1:138.3 Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as  opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim of
W1:138.7  life itself must in the end be overcome by death. In death alone are  opposites resolved, for ending opposition is to die. And thus
W1:152.7 To think that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented  opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over life—all this
W1:167.8  death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by  opposites of any kind, the thoughts of God remain forever changeless
W1:167.10  will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined  opposites to life abide even an instant where the thought of life

Tx:5.22  both to remember and to forget. You have chosen to be in a state of  opposition in which opposites are possible. As a result, there are

Tx:11.27  “outrageous,” do it because it does not matter. Refuse and your  opposition establishes that it does matter to you. It is only you,
Tx:11.65  For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct  opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You see what you expect, and
Tx:11.69  invitations. You have looked upon your minds and accepted  opposition there, having sought it there. But do not then believe
Tx:11.69  sought it there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for  opposition are true, for they attest only to your decision about
Tx:13.20  believed to be less fearful. You are therefore willing with little  opposition to look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath awareness,
Tx:17.75  you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your  opposition it cannot come.
Tx:19.18  Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of God open to  opposition and defeat. Sin is the “grand illusion” underlying all the
Tx:19.33  creation would have a different will, opposed to His and in eternal  opposition to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as
Tx:19.42  would place upon the whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no  opposition, for there is none beside it. What you would still contain

Tx:22.45  that they contradict reality. They go against what must be true. The  opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes nothing.

Tx:5.52  alone. Listening to one voice means the will to share the voice in  order to hear it yourself. The mind that was in me is still

Tx:7.19 To heal is to liberate totally. We once said there is no  order of difficulty in miracles, because they are all maximal

Tx:16.61  for limiting your self to a body and for limiting your perception of  others to theirs. The Great Rays would establish the total lack of
Tx:17.32  more willing to let go. While this one remains, you will not let the  others go. For this one is not different. Retain this one, and you
Tx:17.72  you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith will call the  others to share your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the
Tx:18.57  is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you off from  others and keeping you apart from them [and them from you]. It is not
Tx:18.68  use of the course if you insist on using means which have served  others well, neglecting what was made for you. Save time for me by
Tx:19.21  at its disposal. For here lies its “best” defense which all the  others serve. Here is its armor, its protection, and the fundamental
Tx:19.37  will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose.  Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your brothers and
Tx:19.37  The extension of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to  others to bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in
Tx:19.40  it. You are the center from which it radiates outward to call the  others in. You are its home, its tranquil dwelling-place from which
Tx:19.53  They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear as are the  others. If you send them forth, they will see only the blameless and
Tx:20.27  no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must look on  others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it fear
Tx:20.58  The seeming inconsistencies or parts you find more difficult than  others are merely indications of areas where means and end are still
Tx:21.55  is not reinterpreted and redirected from the goal of sin as are the  others. For reason is beyond the ego's range of means.
Tx:21.76  not yet the last. For this one still seems fearful and unlike the  others. Yet reason would assure you they are all the same. We said
Tx:21.81  you why. It is the same as are the other three except in time. The  others are decisions which can be made and then unmade and made
Tx:21.83 Why do you think you are unsure the  others have been answered? Could it be necessary they be asked so
Tx:21.89  decided how you would answer the final question. Your answer to the  others has made it possible to help you be but partially insane. And
Tx:22.56  you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to  others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in
Tx:23.20  separate and has a different set of thoughts which sets him off from  others. This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy
Tx:23.21  making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome than  others. If it were realized that they are all the same and equally
Tx:23.27  what it takes. This leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the  others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the belief you
Tx:23.38  conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the  others. Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the laws of chaos
Tx:23.38  on the belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the  others. Each one upholds these laws completely, offering a certain
Tx:25.43  of his sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it offers  others. For he would only heal and only bless. And being in accord
Tx:25.83  can there be in miracles, unless someone deserves to suffer more and  others less? And is this justice to the wholly innocent? A miracle is
Tx:25.83  is justice. It is not a special gift to some to be withheld from  others as less worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from healing.
Tx:25.84  given specially to an elect and special group and kept apart from  others as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He
Tx:26.10  for you. He has not greater difficulty in resolving some than  others. Every problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved
Tx:26.14  it safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the  others to yourself, remember this: justice is total. There is no such
Tx:26.51  illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than  others, although this clearly makes no sense at all. All that a
Tx:27.39  sin do you prefer? That is the one which you should choose. The  others are not true. What can the body get that you would want the
Tx:27.84 The world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will believe that  others do to you exactly what you think you did to them. But once
Tx:29.25  the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept and  others wakened from? The choice is not between which dreams to keep,
Tx:30.75  of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder to look past than  others are. It always means you think forgiveness must be limited.
Tx:31.54  and someone must have first decided on the one to choose and let the  others go.
W1:I.5 Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and  others will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely
W1:5.5  and to avoid giving greater weight to some subjects than to  others. It might help to precede the exercises with the statement:
W1:5.8  to apply today's idea to some perceived sources of upset than to  others. If this occurs, think first of this:
W1:5.9 I cannot keep this form of upset and let the  others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard
W1:6.4  you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to  others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous
W1:6.7 I cannot keep this form of upset and let the  others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard
W1:14.7  part of the world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and  others are part of your personal hell. It does not matter. What God
W1:21.3  will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on  others on the fallacious grounds that they are more “obvious.” This

W1:79.5  unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones.  Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you
W1:92.7  cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all  others different from itself and nothing in the world that it would
W1:108.12  too, to think of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the  others, and through him you give to all.
W1:127.2  bestowed on one and yet remain itself although it is withheld from  others. To believe these things of love is not to understand it. If
W1:132.8  Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to teach it.  Others find it in experience that is not of this world, which shows
W1:133.9 Your next consideration is the one on which the  others rest. Why is the choice you make of value to you? What
W1:137.1  dwell on sickness and on separate states. Sickness is a retreat from  others and a shutting off of joining. It becomes a door that closes
W1:137.2  it seems to keep one self apart from all the rest to suffer what the  others do not feel. It gives the body final power to make the
W1:138.6  rest, this one remains unsolved. But when you solve this one, the  others are resolved with it, for all decisions but conceal this one
W1:140.9  and no beliefs that what does not exist is truer in some forms than  others. All of them are false and can be cured because they are not
W1:155.4  from a sense of loss and have not been released accordingly.  Others have chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from
W1:155.5  behind. This is the way appointed for you now. You walk this path as  others walk, nor do you seem to be distinct from them although you
W1:156.2  true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in  others sure. You cannot walk the world apart from God because you
W1:181.2  This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in  others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are
W1:182.2  they play to occupy their time and keep their sadness from them.  Others will deny that they are sad and do not recognize their tears
W1:182.2  that they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. Still  others will maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be
W1:185.5  recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more than all the  others. Dreams are one to him. And he has learned their only
W1:185.8  not some dreams be more acceptable, reserving shame and secrecy for  others. They are one.
W1:195.1  The most that they can do is see themselves as better off than  others. And they try to be content because another seems to suffer
W1:195.1  deprecating are such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while  others have less cause, and who could suffer less because he sees
W1:195.4  will find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while  others still are bound, for who can bargain in the name of love?
W1:196.5 The dreary, hopeless thought that you can make attacks on  others and escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it
W1:198.3  all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no  others. All illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold.
M:I.2  one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration,  others learn and so do you. The question is not whether you will

M:I.3  by what you think you are and what you believe the relationship of  others is to you. In the formal teaching situation, these questions
M:4.11  of God's teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved, the  others cannot fail to follow. Only the trusting can afford honesty,
M:4.21  some aspects of his life to bring to his learning while keeping  others apart? If so, his advancement is limited and his trust not yet
M:8.2  interests of its own and able to gratify its needs at the expense of  others.
M:8.6  acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be “sicker” than  others, and the body's eyes will report their changed appearances as
M:22.4  sickness, both in the individual's perception of himself and of all  others as well. Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls
M:23.2  the world. 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
M:24.5  God should not believe in reincarnation himself or discuss it with  others who do? The answer is certainly not! If he does believe in
M:26.1  the necessary understanding as yet, but they have joined with  others. This is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this
M:26.1  is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this that enables  others to leave the world with them. Alone they are nothing. But in
M:29.1  cases, it may be helpful for the pupil to read the manual first.  Others might do better to begin with the workbook. Still others may
M:29.1  first. Others might do better to begin with the workbook. Still  others may need to start at the more abstract level of the text.

Tx:5.7 Let us start  our process of reawakening with just a few simple concepts:

Tx:5.81  I have shown you infinite patience because my will is that of  our Father, from Whom I learned of infinite patience. His Voice was

Tx:6.38  of the world. Each of us is the light of the world, and by joining  our minds in this light, we proclaim the Kingdom of God together and
Tx:7.51  Him. To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who created you.  Our brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of

Tx:13.34  we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in  our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you

Tx:15.103  that you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate  our release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave nothing
Tx:15.103  it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in  our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our
Tx:15.103  will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as  our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be

Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept  our true relationship with You in which there are no illusions and

Tx:18.30  from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in  our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear

Tx:19.67  keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is possible that  our communion, where we are joined already, will be the focus of the

Tx:30.88  mean the same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all  our brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given
Tx:31.12  of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not  our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every

W1:10.3  that you are not thinking. This is merely another way of repeating  our earlier statement that your mind is really a blank. To recognize
W1:13.8  any signs of overt or covert fear which it may arouse. This is  our first attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect
W1:14.3  into fear. You will not be left there. You will go far beyond it.  Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect peace.
W1:20.1 We have been quite casual about  our practice periods thus far. There has been virtually no attempt to
W1:20.2 This is  our first attempt to introduce structure. Do not misconstrue it as an
W1:20.3  not mistake the little effort that is asked of you for a sign that  our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the world be a

W1:41.4  and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make  our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and to

W1:63.3  day by acknowledging it and close the day with the thought of it in  our awareness. And throughout the day, we will repeat this as often
W1:64.3 To review  our last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the
W1:66.1 You have surely noticed an emphasis throughout  our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling your function
W1:66.4  Our longer practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance
W1:66.12  Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on which  our conclusion rests. We can share in this conclusion, but in no
W1:69.2  real attempt to reach the light in you. Before we undertake this in  our more extended practice period, let us devote several minutes in
W1:69.3 Let us begin  our longer practice period today with the full realization of all
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
W1:69.3  purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning salvation is  our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by finding the
W1:72.10  it was placed by God. It is the body that is outside us and is not  our concern. To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To
W1:72.10  outside 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
W1:72.10  the light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see  our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan
W1:72.11  Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that
W1:72.14  for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted  our grievances so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We
W1:72.14  so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We have used  our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see

W1:73.10 We will begin  our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for
W1:74.1  for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all  our exercises are directed. God's is the only will. When you have
W1:75.3  Our exercises for today will be happy ones in which we offer thanks
W1:75.3  the beginning of the new. No shadows from the past remain to darken  our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will

W1:76.14  all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is  our Father and that His Son is saved.
W1:77.7  Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and will also be
W1:78.2  not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift  our eyes in silence to behold the Son of God.
W1:78.4  We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon  our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look
W1:78.7  Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We will
W1:78.7  today will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in  our mind, first as you now consider him. We will review his faults,
W1:78.8  reality and truth that we may look on him a different way and see  our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given unto us. We
W1:78.12  the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not  our own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one we meet to save
W1:78.12  each one we meet to save us and refuse to hide his light behind  our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or
W1:79.7 In  our longer practice periods today, we will ask what the problem is
W1:79.7  to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will try to free  our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we think
W1:79.8  Our exercises for today will be successful to the extent to which we
W1:79.8  on defining the problem. Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all  our preconceived notions go, but that is not necessary. All that is
W1:79.8  that is necessary is to entertain some doubt about the reality of  our version of what our problems are. We are trying to recognize that
W1:79.8  is to entertain some doubt about the reality of our version of what  our problems are. We are trying to recognize that we have been given
W1:79.9  You will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer.  Our efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only
W1:80.4 In  our longer practice periods today, we will claim the peace that must
W1:R2.1 We are now ready for another review. We will begin where  our last review left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier
W1:81.1  Our ideas for review today are:
W1:87.1  Our review today will cover these ideas:
W1:89.1 These are  our review ideas for today:
W1:89.7 I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation. Let  our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. Beyond this is the
W1:91.8 The question with which this statement ends is needed for  our exercises today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone.
W1:93.8 In  our longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if
W1:93.8  of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth about  our creation:
W1:95.3  can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct  our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which is united with
W1:95.9  for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for  our lapses in diligence and our failures to follow the instructions
W1:95.9  to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence and  our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea.
W1:95.10  will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay  our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as
W1:95.21 You are One Self with me, united with  our Creator in this Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what
W1:96.9  your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self.  Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him within
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All  our doubts we lay aside today and take our stand with certainty of
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today and take  our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks that doubt is

W1:98.4  made. Those still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing  our certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn
W1:100.5  fail to take the part that is essential to God's plan as well as to  our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part
W1:100.6 Today we will attempt to understand joy is  our function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all
W1:100.7  in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this today in  our five minute practice periods by feeling happiness arise in us
W1:100.7  practice periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to  our Father's Will and ours.
W1:102.3 For several days we will continue to devote  our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach
W1:104.2  holy altar where God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are  our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before time
W1:104.3  now and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite  our will with what God wills and recognize the same as being one.
W1:104.4  Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given
W1:104.7 We clear a holy place within  our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are
W1:105.7 Today  our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin today by
W1:107.8  We merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as  our own.
W1:107.9  born of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not  our approach today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we
W1:108.13  Our very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and
W1:109.1  on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will answer  our asking with what we request.
W1:109.11 We rest together here, for thus  our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received
W1:110.10  we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go and opening  our hands and hearts and minds to God today.
W1:110.11  remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son,  our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:R3.1  Our third review begins today. We will review two of the last 20
W1:R3.2  to be sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not  our aim and would defeat our goal.
W1:R3.2  up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim and would defeat  our goal.
W1:122.9 Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake  our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day
W1:122.9  and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within  our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but where
W1:123.1  objections, and a little hesitance, but we can well be grateful for  our gains, which are far greater than we realize.
W1:123.4 Today in gratitude we lift  our hearts above despair and raise our thankful eyes, no longer
W1:123.4 Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise  our thankful eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing
W1:123.4  thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be  our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk
W1:123.4  appointed us to do. We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in  our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of God to us.
W1:124.1 Today we will again give thanks for  our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all
W1:124.1 Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God.  Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and
W1:124.1  guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all  our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes
W1:124.1  and which heals. At one with God and with the universe, we go  our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere
W1:124.2 How holy are  our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the
W1:124.2  easily do errors disappear and death give place to everlasting life.  Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our
W1:124.2  life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is  our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come
W1:124.3 What we receive is  our eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can come between  our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and  our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him today in
W1:124.4  one with Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in  our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His
W1:124.4  Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts.  Our minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all
W1:124.4  We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts;  our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only
W1:124.7  We have accepted and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts  our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him,
W1:124.7  experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share  our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed; as
W1:124.7  with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In  our experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from our
W1:124.7  of reality. In our experience the world is freed; as we deny  our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us.
W1:124.7  In our experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from  our Father, it is healed along with us.
W1:124.8  a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is  our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules
W1:125.3 In stillness we will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of  our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all
W1:125.3  God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without  our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We
W1:127.6 Today we practice making free  our minds of all the laws you think you must obey, of all the limits
W1:127.9  leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise  our eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the
W1:127.10  enemy. Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all  our brothers in God's Love.
W1:127.11  them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us outside  our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an hour
W1:127.11  we cannot leave a part of us outside our love if we would know  our Self. At least three times an hour think of one who makes the
W1:128.5  aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless within  our minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we lift the
W1:129.1  there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed.  Our emphasis is not on giving up the world but on exchanging it for
W1:130.7  nor attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality as we devote  our minds to finding only what is real.
W1:131.12 This we acknowledge as we start upon  our practice periods. Begin with this:
W1:132.15 Today  our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever
W1:132.15  it. They cannot be there—no more than we. For we are in the home  our Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He created
W1:132.15  as He created us would loose the world this day from every one of  our illusions that we may be free.
W1:133.15  Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes will begin with this:
W1:134.14  that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with  our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the
W1:134.14  delayed. For we would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace.  Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all
W1:134.14  Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all  our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them.
W1:135.21  be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will  our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them
W1:135.22  for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for  our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be
W1:135.22  today. We make no plans for how it will be done but realize that  our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn
W1:135.22  defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon  our minds with certainty.
W1:135.23  planning and from every thought which blocks the truth from entering  our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give
W1:136.15  if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is  our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the
W1:137.12  and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy  our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what
W1:137.13 We will remember, as the hour strikes,  our function is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing
W1:137.13 We will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let  our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the world,
W1:137.16  function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering  our function with this thought:
W1:138.12 Before we close  our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have made
W1:138.12  made each hour in between. And now we give the last five minutes of  our waking day to the decision with which we awoke. As every hour
W1:138.12  decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared  our choice again in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity.
W1:139.8  or a statement which denies itself in statement? Let us not allow  our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings such as
W1:139.8  Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just  our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are
W1:139.10 Five minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate  our minds to our assignment for today. We start with this review of
W1:139.10  in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to  our assignment for today. We start with this review of what our
W1:139.10  minds to our assignment for today. We start with this review of what  our mission is:
W1:139.12  it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one and in  our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth,
W1:139.12  are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear  our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind,
W1:139.12  us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how  our Father's Love contains us all.
W1:139.13  its Creator and His oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat  our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all
W1:139.13  oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to  our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would
W1:139.13  each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from  our holy aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the
W1:140.8 Today we seek to change  our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all
W1:140.8  them. We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in  our minds because our Father placed it there for us. It is not
W1:140.8  today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because  our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than
W1:140.8  us. It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as  our own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside  our amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside our amulets,  our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside our amulets, our charms and medicines,  our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We will be
W1:140.11  the day by listening again five minutes more before we go to sleep.  Our only preparation is to let our interfering thoughts be laid
W1:140.11  minutes more before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let  our interfering thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of
W1:140.11  need to make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear  our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.12 With nothing in  our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and listening minds
W1:140.14  soft protection and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb  our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn
W1:140.14  to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we will say  our prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes
W1:140.14  hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to  our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is
W1:R4.1  begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. Such is  our aim for this review and for the lessons following. Thus we review
W1:R4.5 Let us begin  our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in which
W1:R4.6  So do we start each practice period in this review with readying  our minds to understand the lessons that we read and see the meaning
W1:R4.10  has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we will use no format for  our practicing but this:
W1:R4.11  us happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all  our Father wills that we receive as the inheritance we have of Him.
W1:R4.12  day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and through  our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to the light, from
W1:151.13  of the thought with which the day begins. And then we watch  our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of
W1:151.16  the world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift  our resurrected minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has
W1:151.16  minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has restored  our sanity to us.
W1:151.17  As we give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts  our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has
W1:151.17  our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has  our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news
W1:152.8  and accept what we have made as what it is. The power of decision is  our own. Decide but to accept your rightful place as co-creator of
W1:152.10  are sinners, guilty and afraid, ashamed of what we are. And we lift  our hearts in true humility instead to Him Who has created us
W1:152.10  like to Himself in power and in love. The power of decision is  our own. And we accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize
W1:152.11  his right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as  our own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false
W1:152.12  as we arise and spend five minutes practicing its ways, encouraging  our frightened minds with this:
W1:152.14  we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask  our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will
W1:152.14  He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will come again to  our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as it was meant to
W1:153.8 We will not play such childish games today. For  our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for
W1:153.8  the world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy  our function offers us. We would not let our happiness slip by
W1:153.8  foolishness the endless joy our function offers us. We would not let  our happiness slip by because a senseless fragment of a dream
W1:153.8  slip by because a senseless fragment of a dream happened to cross  our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its
W1:153.9  behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of  our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen
W1:153.9  certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill  our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through
W1:153.9  now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as  our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world.
W1:153.13  quiet time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock  our quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure and
W1:153.13  children and the Son of God. We pause but for a moment more to play  our final happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take our
W1:153.13  to play our final happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take  our rightful place where truth abides and games are meaningless.
W1:153.15  we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by giving  our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes
W1:153.15  15 better still. And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from  our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to
W1:153.16 Each hour adds to  our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the will we
W1:153.16  on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn  our thoughts to God.
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we will observe  our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our mission
W1:153.17  will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of  our mission and His Love. And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him
W1:153.19 Today  our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we
W1:153.19 Today our theme is  our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we prepare to meet
W1:153.19  as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in Christ and let  our weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us.
W1:153.19  ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and never leaves  our weakness unsupported by His strength.
W1:153.20 We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of  our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a

W1:154.1  and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our part to judge  our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do
W1:154.1  what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety.  Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is

W1:154.10  to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but  our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to us and for
W1:154.11  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 hold
W1:154.11  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  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 misery
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 of
W1:154.13  Our lesson for today is stated thus:
W1:154.15 The world recedes as we light up  our minds and realize these holy words are true. They are the message
W1:154.15  holy words are true. They are the message sent to us today from  our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about
W1:154.15  us today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed  our minds about ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove
W1:154.15  demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves and what  our function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not
W1:154.15  function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share,  our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap
W1:154.15  we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from  our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we
W1:154.15  will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to  our sight and leap into our hands, and we will understand what we
W1:154.15  many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into  our hands, and we will understand what we received.
W1:155.11  as we progress along the way that truth points out to us. This is  our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose our
W1:155.11  is our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose  our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers
W1:155.11  not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before  our brothers who will follow us.
W1:156.2 We are not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in  our curriculum. Truth must be true throughout if it be true. It
W1:157.2  attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of  our direction and our only goal.
W1:157.2  us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and  our only goal.
W1:157.6  cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in  our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to
W1:158.2  this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today?  Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text.
W1:158.6  unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is beyond  our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our
W1:158.6  is beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished.  Our concern is with Christ's vision. This we can attain.
W1:159.10  awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to  our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.
W1:160.2 There is a stranger in  our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a
W1:161.1 Today we practice differently and take a stand against  our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here
W1:161.1  we practice differently and take a stand against our anger, that  our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here is salvation in
W1:161.5 It seems to be the body that we feel limits  our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out our life. Yet
W1:161.5  we feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out  our life. Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form of fear. Fear
W1:161.6 Bodies attack but minds do not. This thought is surely reminiscent of  our text, where it is often emphasized. This is the reason bodies
W1:163.8  death, and we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and  our own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must
W1:163.9  Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we
W1:163.9 Our Father, bless  our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the
W1:163.9  You and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and  our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
W1:164.1  instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in  our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time and sees
W1:164.7  receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the world.  Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release
W1:164.7  us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes  our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and from
W1:164.7  the world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for  our release from blindness and from misery. All that we see will but
W1:164.7  from blindness and from misery. All that we see will but increase  our joy because its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in
W1:164.7  that we see will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects  our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world
W1:164.7  forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world forgiven in  our own.
W1:164.8 We bless the world as we behold it in the light in which  our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom given us through His
W1:164.8  and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision, now  our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all
W1:165.7  Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond  our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The thought
W1:165.7  His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond  our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in
W1:165.7  our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in  our minds according to His Will.
W1:167.3  this course has placed on that idea is due to its centrality in  our attempts to change your mind about yourself. It is the reason you
W1:167.10 Let us today be children of the truth and not deny  our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life
W1:167.10 Let us today be children of the truth and not deny our holy heritage.  Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts
W1:167.12 We share  our life because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection
W1:168.3 Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved within  our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which God
W1:168.3  Himself and takes us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of  our sleep. His gift of grace is more than just an answer. It restores
W1:168.5  is a new and holy day today, for we receive what has been given us.  Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge
W1:168.5  we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not  our own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to Whom all
W1:168.5  Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge  our mistakes, but He to Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who
W1:168.5  but He to Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who answers  our mistakes by giving us the means to lay them down and rise to Him
W1:169.4 We have perhaps appeared to contradict  our statement that the revelation of the Father and the Son as one
W1:169.14  Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the
W1:170.14  with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and make  our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We
W1:170.14  received from You alone. We choose again and make our choice for all  our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your
W1:170.14  render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find  our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we
W1:R5.1  on again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more surely.  Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have made us walk
W1:R5.2 Steady  our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet,  our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let  our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and  our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to
W1:R5.2  give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it ours. Lead  our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he
W1:R5.3 So do we bring  our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we
W1:R5.3  We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken  our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto
W1:R5.3  and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify  our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.
W1:R5.7  will shorten time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains  our goal, and as we practice, it is This to which we are approaching.
W1:R5.7  as we practice, it is This to which we are approaching. Let us raise  our hearts from dust to life as we remember This is promised us, and
W1:R5.10  has given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote  our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our
W1:R5.10  our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to  our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you,
W1:R5.10  without your part in me. And as I am made whole, we go together to  our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged
W1:R5.11  is not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me.  Our Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not
W1:R5.14 With this we start each day of  our review. With this we start and end each period of practice time.
W1:R5.14  thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same words upon  our lips to greet another day. No thought that we review but we
W1:R5.14  but we surround with it and use the thoughts to hold it up before  our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the day.
W1:R5.14  use the thoughts to hold it up before our minds and keep it clear in  our remembrance throughout the day. And thus when we have finished
W1:177.3 [164] Now are we one with Him Who is  our Source. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:I2.1  Our next few lessons make a special point of firming up your
W1:I2.2  Our lessons now are geared specifically to widening horizons and
W1:I2.2  keep your vision narrow and too limited to let you see the value of  our goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however
W1:I2.3 And so we start  our journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our
W1:I2.3  our journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes  our progress still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness
W1:181.3  practicing today, we first let all such little focuses give way to  our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct
W1:181.3  first let all such little focuses give way to our great need to let  our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is
W1:181.3  our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct  our minds that it is this we seek and only this, for just a little
W1:181.3  we seek and only this, for just a little while. We do not care about  our future goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern
W1:181.3  for us within this interval of time wherein we practice changing  our intent. We seek for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it
W1:181.5  within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks  our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our
W1:181.5  blocks our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us,  our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our
W1:181.5  if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict  our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will
W1:181.5  occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn  our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our
W1:181.5  our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon  our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our “sins.”
W1:181.5  turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call  our “sins.”
W1:181.6  such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to  our minds to change their focus, as we say:
W1:181.8  long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the vision of  our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery
W1:181.9  for fantasies. For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as  our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless
W1:181.9  eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes  our own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in
W1:181.10 The world which once proclaimed  our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for
W1:181.10  once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And  our love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the
W1:181.10  we are sinless. And our love for everyone we look upon attests to  our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no sin and never could
W1:181.10  without Its sinlessness. We seek for this remembrance as we turn  our minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards.
W1:181.10  ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present. And we give  our trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but
W1:181.10  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 willing
W1:181.10  ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is  our willing one with His.
W1:183.7  when we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes  our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies our
W1:183.7  today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought,  our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only wish
W1:183.7  our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies  our minds, the only wish we have, the only sound with any meaning,
W1:183.7  everything that we desire to see; of everything that we would call  our own.
W1:183.12  height whatever words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. In  our Father's Name, we would experience this peace today. And in His
W1:184.12  who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. In  our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has
W1:184.12  of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing,  our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the
W1:184.12  take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let  our minds accept what He has given as the answer to the pitiful
W1:184.13  but have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we bring into  our practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight.
W1:184.13  all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we use to unify  our sight.
W1:184.14  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.
W1:184.15 Father,  our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things and You
W1:184.15  Your Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All  our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects
W1:184.15  our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects  our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give in place
W1:184.15  the truth You give in place of every one of them. Your Name is  our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in
W1:184.15  from what we made. Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is  our inheritance and peace. Amen.
W1:185.7 Let us today devote  our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say.
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
W1:186.2 Let us not fight  our function. We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means
W1:186.2 Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not  our idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly
W1:186.2  be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to accept  our part in genuine humility and not deny with self-deceiving
W1:186.2  we are worthy. What is given us to do we have the strength to do.  Our minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One
W1:186.3  what could arrogance deny but this? Today we will not shrink from  our assignment on the specious grounds that modesty is outraged. It
W1:186.4  God's Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt  our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We will be certain
W1:186.4  the function He will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows  our strengths, our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He deems us
W1:186.4  will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths,  our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are.
W1:186.4  We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and  our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are. It is but
W1:186.8 And so we find  our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all
W1:186.8  rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for ourselves.  Our self-made roles are shifting, and they seem to change from
W1:186.8  We can laugh or weep and greet the day with welcome or with tears.  Our very being seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in
W1:186.8  seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in mood, and  our emotions raise us high indeed or dash us to the ground in
W1:187.10  we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is  our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our One Self
W1:187.10  Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of  our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in
W1:187.10  stand in blessedness and give as we receive. The Name of God is on  our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in
W1:187.10  lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in  our reflection of our Father's Love.
W1:187.10  look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of  our Father's Love.
W1:187.11  see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon  our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us
W1:188.8 We practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We take  our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to where they fall
W1:188.8  share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light within  our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them, ordering
W1:188.9 Thus are  our minds restored with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of
W1:188.9  God still shines in us and from us to all living things that share  our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what
W1:188.9  it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And we lay  our saving blessing on it as we say:
W1:189.9  we do choose to let Him come. And with this choice we rest. And in  our quiet hearts and open minds His love will blaze its pathway of
W1:189.10  have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not  our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them.
W1:189.10  own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them.  Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we
W1:189.10  we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is  our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a
W1:190.11  illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let  our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to
W1:190.11  truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto  our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead
W1:190.11  and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill  our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our
W1:190.11  gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose  our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of
W1:190.11  fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead of pain,  our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict,
W1:192.7  its kindly light we grope in darkness, using reason but to justify  our rage and our attack. Our understanding is so limited that what we
W1:192.7  light we grope in darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and  our attack. Our understanding is so limited that what we think we
W1:192.7  in darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and our attack.  Our understanding is so limited that what we think we understand is
W1:192.7  error. We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful thoughts,  our eyes shut tight against the light, our minds engaged in
W1:192.7  dreams and fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light,  our minds engaged in worshipping what is not there.
W1:193.10  when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death becomes  our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these words
W1:193.15  and give a little more, for now we would arise in haste and go unto  our Father's house. We have been gone too long, and we would linger
W1:194.1  are we progressing now from earth! How close are we approaching to  our goal! How short the journey still to be pursued!
W1:194.9  And if we are tempted to attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards  our rest to make the choice for us that leaves temptation far behind.
W1:194.9  for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the world  our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its friends.
W1:195.4  can only be sincere if it is joined to love. We offer thanks to God  our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It will
W1:195.5  us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off in  our awareness from the unity we share with them, as they must share
W1:195.6 We thank  our Father for one thing alone—that we are separate from no living
W1:195.6  we rejoice that no exceptions ever can be made which would reduce  our wholeness nor impair or change our function to complete the One
W1:195.6  can be made which would reduce our wholeness nor impair or change  our function to complete the One Who is Himself completion. We give
W1:195.7 Then let  our brothers lean their tired heads against our shoulders as they
W1:195.7 Then let our brothers lean their tired heads against  our shoulders as they rest a while. We offer thanks for them. For if
W1:195.7  door is swinging free again; a long forgotten Word re-echoes in  our memory and gathers clarity as we are willing once again to hear.
W1:195.9  If we refuse to recognize it, we are not entitled therefore to  our bitterness and to a self-perception which regards us in a place
W1:195.9  ceaselessly and pushed about without a thought or care for us or for  our future. Gratitude becomes the single thought we substitute for
W1:195.10  Our gratitude will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning time
W1:195.10 Our gratitude will pave the way to Him and shorten  our learning time by more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude
W1:196.8  Our next steps will be easy if you take this one today. From there we
W1:198.15  the end of everything that yet would stand between this vision and  our sight. And we are glad that we have come this far and recognize
W1:200.9 Let us not lose  our way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only

W1:200.11  a simple, happy way to leave the world of ambiguity and to replace  our shifting goals and solitary dreams with single purpose and
W1:R6.2 With this in mind, we start  our practicing in which we carefully review the thoughts the Holy

W2:I.2  as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget  our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when we have need
W2:I.2  calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget  our goal.

W2:I.3  we have given God. We say some simple words of welcome and expect  our Father to reveal Himself as He has promised. We have called on
W2:I.4 Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon  our minds and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to us that He

W2:I.6  given us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead and fix  our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks

W2:I.9  Himself and be what we would make of Him. And we believed that  our insane desires were the truth. Now we are glad that this is all
W2:I.9  true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of  our minds. A moment more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and
W2:I.11  time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse  our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which
W2:221.2  to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours.  Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's
W2:221.2  it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear  our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and
W2:221.2  are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's answer to  our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear

W2:222.2 Father, we have no words except Your Name upon  our lips and in our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence now
W2:222.2 Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in  our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest
W2:223.2  Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes.
W2:223.2 Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of  our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look
W2:223.2  For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon  our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we
W2:223.2  and long for Heaven where we are at home. Today we would return.  Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.
W2:227.2 And so today we find  our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God
W2:WS.4  daily to this holy place and spend a while together. Here we share  our final dream. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it
W2:WS.5  to the world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of  our rejoicing is the call to all the world that freedom is returned,
W2:231.2  And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is  our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is
W2:234.2  that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize  our safety and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us,
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much  our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love,
W2:239.1  hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts  our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory
W2:240.2 How foolish are  our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to
W2:WIW.5 Let us not rest content until the world has joined  our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has
W2:WIW.5  forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change  our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold
W2:241.2  never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have  our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.
W2:242.2  we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all  our desires and our needs. And You will give us everything we want
W2:242.2  us 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
W2:244.2  there we are in truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of  our home. In God are we secure. For what can come to threaten God
W2:249.2 Father, we would return  our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of
W2:251.2 And for that peace,  our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have
W2:254.2 Today we let no ego thoughts direct  our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back
W2:254.2  stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of  our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:256.1  remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is  our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him
W2:256.1  to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which  our minds return to Him at last.
W2:256.2 And so,  our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no
W2:257.1  be determined to remember what we want today that we may unify  our thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would
W2:257.2 Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for  our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours
W2:257.2  Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours today. And thus  our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You
W2:258.1 All that is needful is to train  our minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that
W2:258.1  minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that  our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by

W2:258.1  our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by  our pointless little goals which offer nothing and do not exist.
W2:258.1  while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is  our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him.
W2:258.1  and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is our only goal,  our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him.
W2:258.2  Our goal is but to follow in the way that leads to You. We have no
W2:258.2  this. What could we want but to remember You? What could we seek but  our Identity?
W2:259.1  and the distorted seem more clear? What else but sin engenders  our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of guilt,
W2:260.2 Now is  our Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity at last.
W2:260.2 Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find  our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can
W2:260.2  we find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because  our Source can know no sin. And we who are His Sons are like each

W2:266.2  into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our own, acknowledging  our Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of God. How many
W2:268.2 Let not  our sight be blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying
W2:268.2 Let not our sight be blasphemous today nor let  our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only
W2:269.2 Today  our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look upon the
W2:269.2  ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God, of Him Who is  our own Identity.
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless  our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is
W2:270.2  our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is  our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world
W2:273.1  let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell  our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is  our Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today
W2:276.1  and all is given us. Deny we were created in His Love, and we deny  our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and for
W2:276.1  His Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who  our Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we need but

W2:300.2 We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost  our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice and learned
W2:300.2  Voice and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and  our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for
W2:WISC.5  holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach  our Father's Love through him.
W2:302.1 Father,  our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight
W2:302.1 Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as  our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered.
W2:302.1  we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is  our own imagining and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's
W2:302.2  Our Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing us
W2:305.2  Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from  our judgment on ourselves.
W2:306.2 And so,  our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away,
W2:307.2  silently into a state where conflict cannot come because we join  our holy will with God's in recognition that they are but one.
W2:310.2  this day together, you and I. And all the world joins with us in  our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who gave salvation to us, and
W2:310.2  is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love into  our hearts.
W2:313.2  and join with me today. We save the world when we are joined. For in  our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.

W2:WICR.4  of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all  our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its
W2:WICR.4  with all Its thought, Its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in  our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their
W2:WICR.4  which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let  our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's
W2:WICR.5  Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in
W2:321.2  world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find  our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And
W2:321.2  with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way  our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation
W2:321.2  established. And how sure is all the world's salvation when we learn  our freedom can be found in God alone.
W2:323.2  and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to  our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only

W2:328.1  we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that  our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which
W2:328.1  we find is sickness, suffering and loss, and death. This is not what  our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join
W2:328.1  nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find  our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to
W2:328.1  to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since  our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.
W2:328.1  And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize  our will.

W2:330.1 Let us this day accept forgiveness as  our only function. Why should we attack our minds and give them
W2:330.1  day accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack  our minds and give them images of pain? Why should we teach them they

W2:330.2  Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know  our one Identity we share with You. We would return to It today, to
W2:330.2  You. We would return to It today, to be made free forever from all  our mistakes and to be saved from what we thought we were.
W2:332.2  is given us. And we would not remain as prisoners while You hold out  our freedom unto us.
W2:333.2  chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt and light the way for  our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dreams. No
W2:333.2  and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end  our evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone
W2:340.2  Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today.  Our Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but will be
W2:341.2 Let us not then attack  our sinlessness. For it contains the Word of God to us, and in its
W2:348.2  everything that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be  our will, as well as His.
W2:349.2  Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And
W2:349.2 Our Father knows  our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him
W2:349.2  so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the world and heal  our minds as we return to Him.

W2:FL.1  Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use
W2:FL.1  as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of  our practicing and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them.
W2:FL.1  to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes  our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give
W2:FL.1  our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give  our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in
W2:FL.2  this way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of  our many brothers who are seeking for the way but find it not.
W2:FL.3 And to this purpose let us dedicate  our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of
W2:FL.3 And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all  our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is
W2:FL.3  God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not  our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as
W2:FL.4 It is  our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His
W2:FL.4  given us to be His own completion in reality. So let us not forget  our goal is shared. For it is that remembrance which contains the
W2:FL.4  way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive  our brother who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and
W2:FL.4  show the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through  our forgiveness given unto him.
W2:FL.5 We will not end this year without the gift  our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are
W2:E.5  to Him for guidance and for peace and right direction. Joy attends  our way. For we go homeward to an open door which God has held

W1:64.5  to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us remind  ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all through the
W1:72.10  natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize  ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to
W1:76.12  and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we will tell  ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period concludes:
W1:76.14  an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to experience  ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is our
W1:77.3  Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content  ourselves with less.
W1:78.4 Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let  ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our grievances. So
W1:91.4  great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we will devote  ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength. When you have
W1:95.9  particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive  ourselves for our lapses in diligence and our failures to follow the
W1:98.1  between the two but take a firm position with the one. We dedicate  ourselves to truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We
W1:98.3  we may share their certainty and thus increase it by accepting it  ourselves.
W1:98.4  they have come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for  ourselves today.
W1:100.5 We will not let  ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that
W1:100.7  on you and sees His message in your happy face. We will prepare  ourselves for this today in our five minute practice periods by
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today and teach  ourselves:
W1:104.8  joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We will not let  ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come to seek for
W1:109.11  rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell  ourselves,
W1:124.5  them to life. All this we see because we saw it first within  ourselves.
W1:124.7  we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience  ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our
W1:125.3  and without all judgment of His holy Word. We will not judge  ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We stand apart
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept  ourselves as God created us. And what is choice except uncertainty of
W1:140.8  our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than  ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts—so close it is
W1:153.19 Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe  ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in
W1:153.19  as we remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind  ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and never leaves
W1:154.1  humble. We have gone beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge  ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold decision
W1:154.15  Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about  ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no
W1:158.11  today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon  ourselves as well.
W1:165.7  between Him and your certainty of Him. We count on God and not upon  ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His
W1:181.9  This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in  ourselves.
W1:186.8  illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for  ourselves. Our self-made roles are shifting, and they seem to change
W1:193.15  as we practice, let us think about all things we saved to settle by  ourselves and kept apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him
W1:195.5  and the path of death. All these go with you. Let us not compare  ourselves with them, for thus we split them off in our awareness from
W2:I.3  times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content  ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining holy instants which
W2:239.1 Let not the truth about  ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be
W2:239.2  in this light, and one with You, at peace with all creation and  ourselves.
W2:251.2 And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied  ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.
W2:262.2 We who are one would recognize this day the truth about  ourselves. We would come home and rest in unity. For there is peace,
W2:272.2  call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask  ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams when
W2:305.2  judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on  ourselves.
W2:350.1 What we forgive becomes a part of us as we perceive  ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as

Tx:1.29  The purpose of my part in the Atonement is the canceling  out of all lacks of love which men could not otherwise correct. The
Tx:1.50  following up to you. “Lead us not into temptation” means “guide us  out of our own errors.” “Take up thy cross and follow me” means,
Tx:1.64  toward both. The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look  out from the perception of your own holiness and perceive the
Tx:1.71  a miraculous state of mind. By being one, this state of mind goes  out to anyone, even without the awareness of the miracle worker
Tx:1.99 In sorting  out the false from the true, the miracle proceeds along the following
Tx:1.100 If perfect love casts  out fear, and if fear exists, then there is not perfect love. But
Tx:1.104  of perceptual distortion because it induces, rather than straightens  out, the basic level confusion which underlies the perception of all
Tx:2.2 Project (verb): to extend forward or  out. Project (noun): a plan in the mind. World: a natural grand
Tx:2.23 False projection arises  out of false denial, not out of its proper use. My own role in the
Tx:2.23 False projection arises out of false denial, not  out of its proper use. My own role in the Atonement is one of true
Tx:2.79 In both cases, the will and the behavior are  out of accord, resulting in a situation in which you are doing what
Tx:2.98  because he himself created it. His belief in it seems to render it  out of his control by definition. Yet any attempt to resolve the
Tx:2.108  by man with my help. It is a final healing rather than a meting  out of punishment, however much man may think that punishment is
Tx:2.109  but continue. The first step toward freedom must entail a sorting  out of the false from the true. This is a process of division only in
Tx:3.12 This particularly unfortunate interpretation, which arose  out of the combined misprojections of a large number of my would-be
Tx:3.16  errors including the belief that God rejected man and forced him  out of the Garden of Eden. It is also responsible for the fact that
Tx:3.29  all error. This means that if you perceive truly, you are canceling  out misperceptions in yourself and in others simultaneously. Because
Tx:3.30  with cognition is because you must get your perceptions straightened  out before you can know anything. To know is to be certain.
Tx:3.41  is uncertain by definition. It has to be in conflict because it is  out of accord with itself.
Tx:3.44  only to know. Afterwards it willed ambiguously, and the only way  out of ambiguity is clear perception. The mind returns to its proper
Tx:3.48  deal with unwilling error because it does not will to be blocked  out. I was a man who remembered the Soul and its knowledge, and as a
Tx:3.52  have been greatly confused. When you make something, you make it  out of a sense of lack or need. Anything that is made is made for a
Tx:3.61  this before in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing  out that evaluation is its obvious prerequisite.
Tx:3.62  only the positive aspects of what is judged, whether it be in or  out of the self. However, what has been perceived and rejected—or
Tx:4.8  its maker can be misguided but cannot make the totally lifeless  out of the life-given. The Soul need not be taught, but the ego must.
Tx:4.32  beyond its grasp and charity becomes impossible. The ego never gives  out of abundance, because it was made as a substitute for it. That is
Tx:4.45  but also reinterprets the data. However, as Freud correctly pointed  out, what you have repressed can retain a very active life beyond
Tx:4.49  what you have made, and what you made does not love you. Being made  out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance to its own
Tx:4.75  tangential questions, it hopes to hide the real question and keep it  out of mind. The ego's characteristic busyness with non-essentials is
Tx:4.89  and always approves my Atonement decisions because my will is never  out of accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of
Tx:4.100  Being and its experience of His Son's experience. The constant going  out of His love is blocked when His channels are closed, and He is
Tx:4.102  because they are like Him, and they can rejoice together. God goes  out to them and through them, and there is great joy throughout the
Tx:5.3  of your brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return  out of gratitude. You do not have to know them individually or they
Tx:5.5  part of the Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God Himself go  out into them and through them. Only the healed mind can experience
Tx:5.46  Atonement, which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a way  out of fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to
Tx:5.50 You cannot cancel  out your past errors alone. They will not disappear from your mind
Tx:5.90 Do you really believe you can make a voice that can drown  out His? Do you really believe that you can devise a thought system
Tx:5.93 But the time is now. You have not been asked to work  out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I told you before,
Tx:6.15  which I must teach as I learned, is that no perception which is  out of accord with the judgment of the Holy Spirit can be justified.
Tx:6.19  Their own imperfect love made them vulnerable to projection, and  out of their own fear they spoke of the “wrath of God” as His
Tx:6.23  motivate it. The crucifixion was a complex of behaviors arising  out of clearly opposed thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect
Tx:6.26  you try to keep the fact that you must have attacked yourself first  out of awareness and thus imagine that you have made yourself safe.
Tx:6.53  you can develop your abilities to the point where they can get you  out of it. You have a Guide to how to develop them, but you have no
Tx:6.56  the peace of God, but it could shatter yours. God did not blot it  out, because to eradicate it would be to attack it. Being questioned,
Tx:6.75 The way  out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is clearly to
Tx:6.79  affirmation of what you want. This, then, is a step in the direction  out of conflict since it means that alternatives have been considered
Tx:6.82  or you would share it. In your mind, and your mind only, He sorts  out the true from the false and teaches you to judge every thought
Tx:6.82  is partly in accord with truth, He accepts and purifies. But what is  out of accord entirely, He rejects by judging against. This is how He
Tx:6.95  you 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
Tx:7.34  perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a way  out of conflict, as all proper perception can.
Tx:7.36  in accord with the laws of God, even in a state of mind which is  out of accord with His. The strength of right perception is so great
Tx:7.46  Since that is His meaning, it is also yours. Your meaning cannot be  out of accord with His because your whole meaning, and your only
Tx:7.46  and your only meaning, comes from His and is like His. God cannot be  out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be out of accord with Him.
Tx:7.46  His. God cannot be out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be  out of accord with Him. You cannot separate your self from your
Tx:7.49  One way shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship  out of fear but which you will never love. The other shows you only
Tx:7.68  yourselves of joy. This is not God's Will but yours. If your will is  out of accord with God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet
Tx:7.74  them, and they will have no life for you, because you have put them  out of your mind. While you include them in it, you are giving life
Tx:7.79  that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are  out to take God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is
Tx:7.80  Him. The peace of God is understanding this. There is only one way  out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into it.
Tx:7.85  it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that by giving it  out you have excluded it from within is a complete distortion of the
Tx:7.86  another without perpetuating it about yourself. There is no way  out of this, because it is impossible to fragment the mind.
Tx:7.105  seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way  out of the fallacy is to decide that you do not have to decide
Tx:7.105  teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and will lead you  out of the confusion which you have made. There is no confusion in
Tx:7.107  and is therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, being  out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of
Tx:7.108  state of every 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
Tx:7.110  knows only light. Its own radiance shines all around it and extends  out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into majesty.
Tx:7.111  yourselves not to see it, and this has been very difficult for you.  Out of your natural environment, you may well ask, “What is truth?”
Tx:8.6  opposed ideas, it cannot be integrated. If it is carried  out by these two teachers simultaneously, each one merely interferes
Tx:8.10  is what you are. The lesson is that your will and God's cannot be  out of accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of

Tx:8.76  data which are true. There is no point in trying to make sense  out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in nothing.
Tx:8.82  fear of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness  out of fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic way of trying not to
Tx:8.85  to make mindless is impossible since it would mean to make nothing  out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even though it
Tx:8.93  help you. When we said that the Holy Spirit's function is to sort  out the true from the false in your unconscious, we meant that He has
Tx:9.1  no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to point  out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect sense to the ego,
Tx:9.3 If you point  out the errors of your brother's ego, you must be seeing through
Tx:9.14  are totally non-existent. By steadily and consistently canceling  out all its effects everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that
Tx:9.26  situation” to which the ego always leads. It can be helpful to point  out to a patient where he is heading, but the point is lost unless he
Tx:9.42  ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly  out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it will shift
Tx:9.52  it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it  out of His Love. From your grandeur you can only bless, because your
Tx:9.85  you think you see him, he will disappear into the nothingness  out of which he was made.
Tx:9.87  have removed part of your mind from God's Will, and this means it is  out of control. To be out of control is to be out of reason, and the
Tx:9.87  mind from God's Will, and this means it is out of control. To be  out of control is to be out of reason, and the mind does become
Tx:9.87  and this means it is out of control. To be out of control is to be  out of reason, and the mind does become unreasonable without reason.
Tx:9.95  This is the offering which your god demands because, having made him  out of your insanity, he is an insane idea. He has many forms, but
Tx:9.96  Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was fatherless, and  out of his depression, he made the god of depression. This was his
Tx:9.103  Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son.
Tx:10.2  the only source of perceived conflict, because the ego was made  out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing
Tx:10.3  Open the dark cornerstone of terror on which it rests and bring it  out into the light. There you will see that it rests on
Tx:10.25  mine,” you will see such beauty that you will know it is not of you.  Out of your joy you will create beauty in His name, for your joy
Tx:10.26  light and in light. The Great Light always surrounds you and shines  out from you. How can you see the dark companions in a light such as
Tx:10.27  spark in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you  out of all darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you
Tx:10.44  is merely to recognize that their source is not natural, being  out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to will
Tx:10.53  comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to separate  out. The attempt to understand totality by breaking it up is clearly
Tx:10.73  known. The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you  out of what you have made, and to perceive only this is salvation
Tx:11.11  emotions of which you are capable. One is false, for it was made  out of denial, and denial depends on the real belief in what is
Tx:11.22  it not. Yet your Redeemer liveth and abideth in you in the peace  out of which He was created. Would you not exchange this awareness
Tx:11.32  God gave you the real world in exchange for the one you made  out of your split mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if you
Tx:11.33  senseless “laws,” and without meaning of any kind. For it was made  out of what you do not want, projected from your mind because you
Tx:11.35  and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look  out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place, you
Tx:11.36  as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the ego holds  out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the ego pursues its
Tx:11.45  this as reinforcement. The only place where you can cancel  out all reinforcement is in yourself. For you are always the first
Tx:11.58  In perfect peace He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding  out the Father's love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's
Tx:11.65  For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you look  out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your
Tx:11.67  of mind. Perception is projection, and you look in before you look  out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you
Tx:11.67  As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you look  out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek.
Tx:11.76  deathless in yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look  out upon a world that cannot die.
Tx:11.87  of you, had you not believed that it was the Father Who drove him  out of paradise. For in that belief, the knowledge of the Father was
Tx:11.94  the condition of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness.  Out of love he was created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy
Tx:12.13  then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut  out God, and He does not will to be excluded.
Tx:12.23  here and bury you here, leaving you no inheritance except the dust  out of which it thinks you were made. As long as it is reasonably
Tx:12.27  perceiving them as they are. And you will receive messages from them  out of your own past because, by making it real in the present, you
Tx:12.49  his past is yours, you share in this release. Let no dark cloud  out of your past obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the
Tx:12.52 Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach  out to all your brothers and touch them with the touch of Christ. In
Tx:12.55  join with theirs in power so compelling that it will draw the others  out of darkness as you look on them.
Tx:12.56  unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free will and  out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The attraction of
Tx:12.56  witnesses to the love you gave them, and it is they who hold it  out to you. In sleep you are alone, and your awareness is narrowed to
Tx:12.63  see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality has slipped away. The  out of mind is out of sight because what is denied is there but is
Tx:12.63  judgment enters, reality has slipped away. The out of mind is  out of sight because what is denied is there but is not recognized.
Tx:12.63  for you to leave the past behind and enter into the world He holds  out to you in love.
Tx:12.64  loves what he loves not and following not the road that love points  out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you will rejoice
Tx:13.30  you love them all and equally. Love is not special. If you single  out part of the Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all
Tx:13.42  God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching  out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be
Tx:13.56  forms and feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven  out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and
Tx:13.73  Every decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and  out and influencing a constellation larger than anything you ever
Tx:13.79  fear. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who loves you and would lead you  out of insanity. Madness may be your choice, but not your reality.
Tx:13.90  that God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He created you  out of Himself but still within Him. He knows what you are. Remember
Tx:13.90  Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place made  out of darkness and deceit, for thus are darkness and deceit undone.
Tx:14.15  that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look  out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out, for
Tx:14.15  and look out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one  out, for this is what he seeks, along with you. Come, let us join him
Tx:14.17  over it carefully, and you who made these guardians of illusion  out of nothing are now afraid of them.
Tx:14.22  not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will separate  out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your
Tx:14.25 The search for truth is but the honest searching  out of everything that interferes with truth. Truth is. It can be
Tx:14.36  one link which joins them all together, holding them in the oneness  out of which creation happens.
Tx:14.43  and the message which shines forth from what the mirror holds  out for everyone to see no one can fail to understand. It is the
Tx:14.46  nearer or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all time. Reach  out of time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And
Tx:14.49  of Heaven last but a moment and grow dim as darkness blots them  out. Where there was light, darkness removes it in an instant, and
Tx:15.3  be the conviction that it can pursue you beyond the grave. And  out of its unwillingness for you to find peace even in the death it
Tx:15.9  clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching  out into the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in
Tx:15.10  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 are completely absolved,
Tx:15.18  be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed instant reaches  out to encompass time, as God extends Himself to encompass you. You
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your little part in separating  out the holy instant. You will receive very specific instructions as
Tx:15.21  very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to separate  out this single second and begin to experience it as timeless, is to
Tx:15.22  it. Everything in this world is little because it is a world made  out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness can content
Tx:15.46  relationships and thus make them unreal. If you seek to separate  out certain aspects of the totality and look to them to meet your
Tx:15.53  The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception  out of the past, thus removing the frame of reference you have built
Tx:15.55  you can 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
Tx:15.68  on an endless, unrewarding chain of special relationships, forged  out of anger and dedicated to but one insane belief—that the more
Tx:15.69  make of them, you do not know, but you will become willing to find  out if you are willing, first, to perceive what you have made of them.
Tx:15.104  seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it  out though it was part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as
Tx:15.104  the perceived conflict of Heaven and hell in him by casting Heaven  out and giving it the attributes of hell without experiencing himself
Tx:16.2  to certain types of problems and in certain people. These it selects  out and joins with. And it never joins except to strengthen itself.
Tx:16.30  will not offset it but will merely drive it underground and  out of sight. It is essential to bring it into sight and to make no
Tx:16.31 The symbols of hate against the symbols of love play  out a conflict which does not exist. For symbols stand for something
Tx:16.37 Heaven waits silently, and your creations are holding  out their hands to help you cross and welcome them. For it is they
Tx:16.51  lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego holds  out to those who place their faith in littleness. The conviction of
Tx:16.52  God must die so you can live. And it is this theme which is acted  out in the special relationship. Through the death of your self, you
Tx:16.64  On this side, everything you see is grossly distorted and completely  out of perspective. What is little and insignificant is magnified,
Tx:16.69  by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you share with Him there.  Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release, His
Tx:16.72  it brings to the special relationships it chooses in which to act  out its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the ego holds the
Tx:16.73  not contain the dream of retribution for the past. Would you act  out the dream or let it go?
Tx:16.74 In the special relationship, it does not seem to be an acting  out of vengeance which you seek. And even when the hatred and the
Tx:16.74  to reach awareness is that the special relationship is the acting  out of vengeance on yourself. But what else could it be? In seeking
Tx:17.13  Meet His patience with your impatience at delay in meeting Him. Go  out in gladness to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust
Tx:17.13  in gladness to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust  out of this world and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness.
Tx:17.19  the one with whom the union was sought. For it was formed to get him  out of it and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can
Tx:17.39  each framed perfectly for what they represent. One is framed to be  out of focus and not seen. The other is framed for perfect clarity.
Tx:17.39  of darkness and of death grows less convincing as you search it  out amid its wrappings. As each senseless stone which seems to shine
Tx:17.45  The reason is quite clear. For the relationship as it is, is  out of line with its own goal and clearly unsuited to the purpose
Tx:17.46  goal. Until this happy solution is seen and accepted as the only way  out of the conflict, the relationship seems to be severely strained.
Tx:17.60  this approach has brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting  out of truth and falsity. The true becomes what can be used to meet

Tx:19.87  it holds in perfect safety every miracle you will perform, held  out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born in time but
Tx:19.92  made with the ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted  out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to
Tx:19.92  unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to call you  out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems

Tx:20.6  given and received. For bodies can neither offer nor accept; hold  out nor take. Only the mind can value, and only the mind decides on

Tx:21.47  has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it  out so long. Heaven has come because it found a home in your
Tx:21.49 Perception selects and makes the world you see. It literally picks it  out as the mind directs. The laws of size and shape and brightness
Tx:21.49  prefer to overlook. The still small Voice for God is not drowned  out by all the ego's raucous screams and senseless ravings to those
Tx:21.56  need of it. Knowledge does not depend on it, and madness keeps it  out.
Tx:21.62 Madness is an attack on reason that drives it  out of mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack but takes the
Tx:21.66  from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds  out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.68 The Son of God is always blessed as one. And as his gratitude goes  out to you who blessed him, reason will tell you that it cannot be
Tx:21.72  treacherous because they have no need to dream of power and to act  out their dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any way at all. It
Tx:21.88  no one fails to ask for his desire of something he believes holds  out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be wrong in what
Tx:22.4  It must extend, as you extended when you joined. It must reach  out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body to let
Tx:22.4  when you joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached  out beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness
Tx:22.17  is possible in the dark world of misery is to select some aspects  out of it, see them as different, and define the difference as joy.
Tx:22.19  is faith in sin if the belief excludes one living thing and holds it  out apart from its forgiveness.
Tx:22.44  Standing before the veil, it still seems difficult. But hold  out your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you
Tx:22.46  be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is carved into a block  out of your peace and laid between you and its return. Yet how can
Tx:22.47  you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep love  out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending,
Tx:22.48  its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence and would drown  out the hymn of praise to its Creator which every heart throughout
Tx:23.12  is insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness holds  out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it. Illusions
Tx:23.15  be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and drive Him  out of what He loves forever. And what He loves must be forever quiet
Tx:23.19  never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful and therefore  out of reason's sphere. Yet they appear to constitute an obstacle to
Tx:23.44  It can be kept shining before your vision, forever clear and never  out of sight if you defend it not.
Tx:24.14  impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it  out of nothingness; an evil flower with no roots at all. Here is the
Tx:24.18  Here stands your brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held  out to you. Let not the dream of specialness remain between you. What
Tx:24.33  from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he holds  out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on
Tx:24.41  he picked 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:24.43  gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of sin and then go  out, to lead the other to a nameless precipice and hurl him over it.
Tx:24.46  the sound of battle and of death. He reaches through them, holding  out His hand that everyone may bless all living things and see their

Tx:25.79  given to God's Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds  out his hand in willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure

Tx:26.37  a change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls  out from a past forever more gone by. And everything which points to
Tx:26.49  seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What is projected  out and seems to be external to the mind is not outside at all but an
Tx:26.70  still obscured that is the source of fear. Salvation would wipe  out the space you see between you still and let you instantly become
Tx:26.72  fear have overlooked but which is all there is to time. The working  out of all correction takes no time at all.
Tx:26.73 Yet the acceptance of the working  out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit
Tx:27.30  meaningless. He represents a double thought, where half is canceled  out by the remaining half. Yet even this is quickly contradicted by
Tx:27.30  half. Yet even this is quickly contradicted by the half it canceled  out, and so they both are gone. And now he stands for nothing.
Tx:27.31  with power or to see as weak. The picture has been wholly canceled  out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled out the
Tx:27.31  canceled out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled  out the thought it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at
Tx:27.34  other half of what it represents remains unknown but is not canceled  out. And thus is God left free to take the final step Himself. [For

Tx:27.38  surety. For there the problem will be answered and resolved.  Outside there will be no solution, for there is no answer there that
Tx:27.38  solution, for there is no answer there that could be found. Nowhere  outside a single simple question is ever asked. The world can only
Tx:27.62  not himself. He is the victim of this “something else,” a thing  outside himself for which he has no reason to be held responsible. He
Tx:27.62  bears the suffering. And he cannot escape because its source is seen  outside himself.
Tx:27.77  the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the world  outside the body, lives a little while and dies, to be united in the
Tx:27.83  is being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed  outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and
Tx:27.84  is this petulant device to keep your innocence by pushing guilt  outside yourself but never letting go! It is not easy to perceive the
Tx:28.47  between [ourselves] and what is seen as health? The good is seen  outside; the evil, in. And thus is sickness separating off the self

Tx:29.46  within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek  outside yourself for what you are.
Tx:29.48  and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you must find what is  outside yourself to be complete and happy. It is vain to worship
Tx:29.48  lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek  outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the world the past has

Tx:30.48  apart from you and in a world which your reality knows nothing of?  Outside you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star, and no
Tx:30.58  a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. And no one stands  outside this hope because the world has been united in belief the
Tx:30.60  could create a perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one  outside of Heaven knows how this can be, for understanding this is
Tx:30.77  the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him  outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole.

Tx:31.57  The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and nothing is  outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by anything, you see a
W1:4.3  in the long-range purpose of learning to see the meaningless as  outside you and the meaningful within. It is also the beginning of
W1:10.3  the idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless,  outside rather than within, and then stressed their past rather than

W1:32.3  two or three times while looking around at the world you see as  outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner
W1:33.2  of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as  outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts
W1:44.2  you must recognize that light is within, not without. You do not see  outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. An
W1:44.2  You do not see outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing  outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the light that
W1:69.4  clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing  outside the circle and quite apart from it.
W1:70.2  “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that nothing  outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you
W1:70.2  this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing  outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing
W1:70.2  outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing  outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset you in
W1:70.8  signifying your recognition that salvation comes from nothing  outside of you. You might put it this way:
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me. Nothing  outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's salvation

W1:72.9  your peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth  outside you, locked away from your awareness by the body's
W1:72.10  truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is  outside us and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in
W1:85.5  Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not look for it  outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from
W1:85.5  left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found  outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond,
W1:122.6 Here is the answer! Would you stand  outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be
W1:127.11  them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us  outside our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an
W1:169.12  could you finally attain to it forever while a part of you remains  outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as witness to the
W1:170.5  who make attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack  outside yourself and separate your mind from him who is to be

W1:196.10  It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a god  outside yourself became your mortal enemy—the source of fear.
W1:197.1 Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in  outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness
W1:197.6  But learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see  outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of God are lent

Tx:6.33 Thoughts begin in the mind of the thinker from which they [extend]  outward. This is as true of God's thinking as it is of yours. Because
Tx:6.33  of mind. You perceive from your mind and extend your perceptions  outward. Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it,
Tx:6.36  He perceives only what is true in your mind and extends  outward only to what is true in other minds.
Tx:6.38  peace of the Kingdom shines in your mind forever, but it must shine  outward to make you aware of it. The Holy Spirit was given you with
Tx:6.39  before, every idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends  outward. Therefore, what extends from the mind is still in it, and
Tx:6.57  is an ongoing process, not in time, but in eternity. God's extending  outward, though not His completeness, is blocked when the Sonship

Tx:7.3  your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love. Love extends  outward simply because it cannot be contained. Being limitless, it

Tx:11.31  is a necessary consequence of what you have done. You have projected  outward what is antagonistic to what is inward, and therefore you

Tx:13.51 Seeing is always  outward. Were your thoughts wholly of you, the thought system which

Tx:20.30  made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give them power  over you by accepting their results as your just due. What could this
Tx:20.44 Be comforted and feel the Holy Spirit watching  over you in love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the
Tx:20.59  change in a relationship from sin to holiness should now be almost  over. To the extent you still experience it, you are refusing to

Tx:12.35  each other because they saw in them a shadow figure in their  own private world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself
Tx:12.35  for what you attack is not in others. Its only reality is in your  own mind, and by attacking others, you are literally attacking what

Tx:24.35  specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and helpless in its  own defense. It was conceived to make you frail and helpless. The

Tx:25.41  no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom will you gain your  own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the means to let yours

Tx:25.68  shares their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their  own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit
Tx:25.68  dead with lightning bolts torn from the “fires” of Heaven by God's  own angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of

Tx:26.3  rest must lose this little part, remaining incomplete to keep its  own identity intact. In this perception of yourself, the body's loss
Tx:26.9  justice? Could your function be a task apart and separate from His  Own?
Tx:26.16 Think then how great your  own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for
Tx:26.29  which was raised within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its  own. And what was tiny then has soared into a magnitude of song in
Tx:26.37  fact in what is there to hear where he is now? And how much can his  own delusions about time and place affect a change in where he really
Tx:26.38  your ever-loving Father has ensured must come to you. And from your  own unfairness to yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your
Tx:26.52  grounds for hell. If this were so, would Heaven be opposed by its  own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's Will be split in two

Tx:26.66  belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a brother and his  own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet to bless but one
Tx:26.77  to your call! And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your  own salvation with his freedom joined! However much you wish he be

Tx:27.26 In this interpretation of correction, your  own mistakes you will not even see. The focus of correction has been
Tx:27.27  your Self from being made aware of any function other than Its  own. And thus is healing given both of you.
Tx:27.28  as Its only one. Here is the function given It conceived to be Its  own and not apart from that Its Giver keeps because it has been

Tx:27.51  and will be brought to problems that you thought were not your  own. And it will also be apparent that your many different problems
Tx:27.58  what they represent has no effects. And this it proves because its  own effects have come to take their place. It matters not the name by

Tx:28.22  to show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he fear his  own attack but sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is suffering
Tx:28.22  suffering from its effects but not their cause. He authored not his  own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does
Tx:28.23  abuse because the motives he has given it have they adopted as their  own. And hate it for the vengeance it would offer them. It is their
Tx:28.30  your brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his  own dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the cause of
Tx:28.41  you become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your  own. Identity in dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the

Tx:29.34  his Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as his  own. Because he has it is it given you, and where it lies in him,
Tx:29.40  to die, then die it must unless it does not take this purpose as its  own. Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing here, where

Tx:29.64  in which their toys are real, nor recognize their wishes are their  own.
Tx:29.65  and gives them to the toys instead. And their reality becomes his  own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet do they keep
Tx:30.33  you but your will; He speaks for you. In His divinity is but your  own. And all He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you
Tx:30.37  you share. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by your  own salvation it is healed. And no one walks upon the earth but must
Tx:30.48  keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but from your  own. The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the
Tx:30.52  looked upon as children's toys without a single meaning of their  own. See one in them, and you will see them all. See none in them,
Tx:30.61 The real world still falls short of this, for this is God's  own purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly

Tx:31.55  share his guilt because you chose it for him in the image of your  own. While only he was treacherous before, now must you be condemned

Tx:31.62  here have you established what you are, as flesh or Spirit in your  own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as
Tx:31.62  belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your  own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But choose the

W1:26.3  that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your  own eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And
W1:26.4  that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your  own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing

W1:34.1  Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your  own thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind

W1:38.6  want to vary this procedure and add some relevant thoughts of your  own. You might like, for example, to include thoughts such as:
W1:39.3  that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your  own salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be
W1:39.3  to the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your  own world, the whole world stands to benefit.
W1:39.4  end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world and your  own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it?
W1:39.7  suitable subjects for today's exercises. It is imperative for your  own salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing
W1:41.5  the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your  own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your

W1:43.8  let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your  own personal way. Thoughts such as:

W1:45.6  you do so. After you have added some four or five thoughts of your  own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself gently:
W1:47.1 If you are trusting your  own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious, and
W1:47.4 Today we will try to reach past your  own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four five-minute

W1:47.7 The recognition of your  own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors, but

W1:56.6 [30] God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my  own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my  own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful

W1:76.5  up to hide what really suffers. It would not understand it is its  own enemy, that it attacks itself and wants to die. It is from this
W1:77.5  granted. You have asked for the salvation of the world and for your  own. You have requested that you be given the means by which this is
W1:78.12  the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not our  own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one we meet to save us

W1:121.7  hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you become your  own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your forgiveness that it
W1:121.8  you can learn today to take the key to happiness and use it on your  own behalf. We will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night

W1:135.7  what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your  own belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions

W1:135.16  It does not think that it will be provided for unless it makes its  own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by
W1:135.21  you become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its  own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness

W1:136.7  whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your  own decision of what should be real, to take the place of what is

W1:152.1 No one can suffer loss unless it be his  own decision. No one suffers pain except his choice elects this state
W1:152.1  these are the outcomes that he wants. And no one dies without his  own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is

W1:152.11  right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as our  own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my  own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's Will created
W1:153.6  maintains that choice is always made between His strength and your  own weakness seen apart from Him. Defenselessness can never be
W1:153.10  ones who are among the chosen ones of God by His election and their  own as well?
W1:153.11  has elected all, but few have come to realize His Will is but their  own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation
W1:153.11  As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it as your  own.
W1:153.14  pitiful defense against a vengeance he cannot escape, were but his  own deluded fantasy. God's ministers have come to waken him from the
W1:154.2  chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not work without your  own consent, but He is not deceived in what you are and listens only
W1:154.3 It is through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His  own that you become aware at last there is One Voice in you. And that
W1:154.8  understand he has received until he gives. For in the giving is his  own acceptance of what he received.
W1:154.9  by you as well. For thus do you identify with Him and claim your  own.
W1:154.11  may be at last delivered. And He needs our will united with His  own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives.
W1:154.12  can this mean to you until you have identified with him and with his  own?

W1:155.2  are seeking for a place where they can be illusions and avoid their  own reality. Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then
W1:155.2  be illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their  own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the
W1:155.14  how great His trust, how limitless His Love. In your name and His  own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought today:
W1:156.5  for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you carry is their  own, and thus they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior
W1:157.8  start today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your  own.
W1:159.1  has not received. To give a thing requires first you have it in your  own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here
W1:160.4  is unsuited to the home which God provided for His Son? Is fear His  own, created in His likeness? Is it fear that love completes and is
W1:160.6  in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It will call Its  own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own.
W1:160.6  And It will call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its  own.
W1:160.7  given him your rightful place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its  own as God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about creation. He is
W1:160.9  what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but beholds His  own and joyously unites with them. They see Him as a stranger, for
W1:161.8  as fear's symbol. And he will attack because what he beholds is his  own fear external to himself, poised to attack and howling to unite
W1:161.12  your sins, whose sacred hands can take the nails which pierce your  own away and lift the crown of thorns which you have placed upon your
W1:161.15  upon, for He 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
W1:162.3 Holy indeed is he who makes these words his  own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them throughout the
W1:163.8  and we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and our  own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must
W1:164.7  we see will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects our  own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world
W1:164.7  forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world forgiven in our  own.
W1:164.8  offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision, now our  own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all
W1:165.1 What makes this world seem real except your  own denial of the truth which lies beyond? What but your thoughts of
W1:166.3  may become, however urgently he may be called to claim them as his  own, is being pressed to treachery against himself. He must deny
W1:166.9  you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your  own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not wholly
W1:166.12  your will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are your  own.
W1:167.4  qualities the source does not contain, becoming different from their  own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, time, and form.
W1:167.6  that are and cannot give them attributes it lacks nor change its  own eternal, mindful state. It cannot make the physical. What seems

W1:168.5  receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not our  own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to Whom all error
W1:168.6  Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us through His  Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:170.3 You make what you defend against, and by your  own defense against it, is it real and inescapable. Lay down your
W1:170.11  with those of fear. Yet must the worshipers of fear perceive their  own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of love.
W1:R5.11  I save the world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your  own. To Him we go together. Take your brother's hand, for this is not
W1:R5.12  established it. You are His Son, completing His extension in your  own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed
W1:171.3 [152] The power of decision is my  own. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.1  becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your  own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as yours.
W1:181.5  narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our  own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our “sins.”
W1:181.9  of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our  own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the
W1:182.5 It is this Child in you your Father knows as His  own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father. He desires to go home
W1:183.1  no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your  own. A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son
W1:183.7  that we desire to see; of everything that we would call our  own.
W1:183.10  you found. You can remember what the world forgot and offer it your  own remembering. You can accept today the part you play in its
W1:183.10  You can accept today the part you play in its salvation and your  own as well, and both can be accomplished perfectly.
W1:183.11  Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts become his  own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and
W1:184.1  you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by its  own name. By this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate
W1:184.8  call him, for his mind consents to take the name you give him as his  own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you perceive him
W1:184.15  different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your  Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our
W1:185.10  sincerity. For thus you reach to what they really want and join your  own intent with what they seek above all things, perhaps unknown to
W1:185.12  you it was created, given you by its Creator and established as His  own eternal gift. How can you fail when you but ask for what He wills
W1:186.1  Here is the thought of true humility which holds no function as your  own but that which has been given you. It offers your acceptance of a
W1:187.2  for proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in your  own mind. Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is
W1:188.1  you from your native home and stayed with you because it is your  own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your
W1:189.2  salvation in you and protects the light in you in which it sees its  own. It offers you its flowers and its snow in thankfulness for your
W1:189.10  answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our  own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our
W1:189.10  would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our  own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part
W1:190.6  and forever. And would you deny a little corner of your mind its  own inheritance and keep it as a hospital for pain, a sickly place
W1:191.2  your world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your  own Identity, and this is what remains. You look on chaos and
W1:191.3 Deny your  own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this
W1:191.3  thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your  own Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a
W1:191.3  tiny particle of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your  own Identity and look on evil, sin, and death. And watch despair
W1:191.13 They must await your  own release. They stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see
W1:191.13  until you have denied its hold on you. They die till you accept your  own eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this
W1:192.1  and attack? Therefore you have a function in the world in its  own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond his simple
W1:193.12  all the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your  own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's
W1:195.10  God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are—His  own completion and the source of love, along with Him. Your gratitude
W1:196.1  a brother saves yourself. And you will understand his safety is your  own, and in his healing you are healed.
W1:196.8  once you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your  own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe
W1:197.1  free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your  own. You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them
W1:197.5  can be given only to yourself, and what belongs to God must be His  own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal,
W1:198.5  teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your  own in place of His?
W1:198.10 Only my condemnation injures me. Only my  own forgiveness sets me free.
W1:200.7  Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his  own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a
W1:203.1 [183] I call upon God's Name and on my  own. The Name of God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and
W1:203.1  deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my  own as well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W1:210.1 [190] I choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my  own idea. It is not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from
W1:213.1  I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my  own. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
W2:I.6  one we made and take that world to be the full replacement of our  own.
W2:227.1  exists. And I am free because I was mistaken and did not affect my  own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and lay them
W2:229.1 I seek my  own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is
W2:WS.2  to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself and thought its  own Identity was lost.
W2:233.1  today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your  own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your will instead

W2:248.2  Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my  own. Now do I understand that they are one.
W2:253.2  Which rules the universe, is but Your will in perfect union with my  own, which can but offer glad assent to Yours that It may be extended
W2:264.1  I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my  own. In You time disappears and place becomes a meaningless belief.
W2:264.1  Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your  own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.
W2:266.2 This day we enter into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our  own, acknowledging our Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of
W2:267.2 Let me attend Your Answer, not my  own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love
W2:269.2  We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God, of Him Who is our  own Identity.
W2:270.1  And now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your  own, and every thought except Your own is gone.
W2:270.1  His function now is but Your own, and every thought except Your  own is gone.
W2:273.2  the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my  own eternal love for You.
W2:276.2  I would speak to all my brothers, who are given me to cherish as my  own, as I am loved and blessed and saved by You.
W2:279.2  my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His  own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me?
W2:288.1  let me honor him who bears Your Name and so remember that It is my  own.
W2:289.2  not look upon a past that is not there. For You have offered me Your  own replacement in a present world the past has left untouched and

W2:299.1 My holiness is far beyond my  own ability to understand or know. Yet God my Father, Who created it,
W2:302.1  had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our  own imagining and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision
W2:302.1  that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my  own.
W2:309.1  forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His  own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to
W2:309.1  will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my  own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it and as

W2:328.1  is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our  own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to
W2:330.1  its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its  own. The Self which God created cannot sin and therefore cannot
W2:332.1  mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its  own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the
W2:335.1  this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my  own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its
W2:344.1 This is Your law, my Father, not my  own. I have not understood what giving means and thought to save what

W2:347.1  Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your  own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracle to come to me.
W2:348.1  What can I fear when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your  own?
W2:349.1  do I obey the law of love and give what I would find and make my  own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want
W2:WAI.1  I am His holy sinlessness itself, for in my purity abides His  own.
W2:352.1  would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my  own Identity and find in Him the memory of You.

W2:356.1  answer to Your Son because to call Your Name is but to call his  own.
W2:359.1 Father, today we will forgive Your world and let creation be Your  own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners
W2:FL.3  God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our  own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of
W2:FL.4  our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His  own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared.
W2:FL.6  and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons through the Voice of His  own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him
W2:FL.6  I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His  own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in
W2:E.3  Word that God has given you. His is the Word you chose to be your  own.
