sacrament (1) | ||
Tx:24.56 | Your brother's holiness is | sacrament and benediction unto you. His errors cannot withhold God's |
sacred (12) | ||
Tx:13.50 | area of your perception that it has not touched, and your dream is | sacred to you. That is why God placed the Holy Spirit in you, where |
Tx:24.24 | a hiding-place where none is welcome but your tiny self. Nothing is | sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate from all |
Tx:29.32 | tranquil in the might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the | sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to |
Tx:29.33 | This | sacred Son of God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love |
Tx:30.65 | at fearful price in coins of suffering? Joy has no cost. It is your | sacred right, and what you pay for is not happiness. Be speeded on |
W1:161.12 | from you the sight of one who can forgive you all your sins, whose | sacred hands can take the nails which pierce your own away and lift |
W1:162.1 | It will mean far more to you as you advance. These words are | sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the world you |
W1:164.6 | Brothers, this day is | sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all |
W1:192.1 | holy will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His | sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love |
W1:193.13 | thought without correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His | sacred Son in any way. He would ensure his holy rest remain |
W2:256.2 | way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice and find the way Your | sacred Word has pointed out to us. |

sacrifice (213) | ||
Tx:3.21 | Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown to God. It arises solely from | |
Tx:3.24 | because] he sees Him as he is[, he knows] that the Atonement, not | sacrifice, is the only appropriate gift to His own altar, where |
Tx:4.30 | implies that you will do without it. When you associate giving with | sacrifice, then, you give only because you believe that you are |
Tx:6.14 | When you hear only one voice, you are never called on to | sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy |
Tx:7.92 | Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the opposite of | sacrifice. Being must be extended. That is how it retains the |
Tx:7.101 | about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the whole idea of | sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. |
Tx:7.103 | except that you want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for | sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you are confused about this |
Tx:8.94 | many times that the Holy Spirit will never call upon you to | sacrifice anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of |
Tx:8.94 | will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the | sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you |
Tx:10.63 | themselves, believing that the power of the Son of God is born of | sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for |
Tx:10.63 | have you learn your own will and follow it, not in the spirit of | sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom. |
Tx:12.74 | mind that this world sets before you. Kneel not before the altars to | sacrifice and seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourselves |
Tx:15.30 | Is it a | sacrifice to leave littleness behind and wander not in vain? It is |
Tx:15.30 | to leave littleness behind and wander not in vain? It is not | sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept anything |
Tx:15.30 | not in vain? It is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a | sacrifice to accept anything less than glory. Learn that you must be |
Tx:15.71 | in love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in love with | sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of himself, he |
Tx:15.71 | all. He merely believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this | sacrifice, which he demanded of himself, he demands the other accept |
Tx:15.71 | he demanded of himself, he demands the other accept the guilt and | sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the |
Tx:15.72 | this seems unimportant. As long as the body is there to receive its | sacrifice, it is content. To the ego, the mind is private, and only |
Tx:15.73 | Suffering and | sacrifice are the gifts with which the ego would “bless” all unions. |
Tx:15.73 | unions. And those who are united at its altar accept suffering and | sacrifice as the price of union. In their angry alliances, born of |
Tx:15.73 | in little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet never without demand of | sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the ego's altar far exceeds |
Tx:15.93 | offer everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving | sacrifice as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask |
Tx:15.93 | me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and every | sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that |
Tx:15.93 | every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that | sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation imposed on giving. |
Tx:15.96 | You see no other alternatives, for you cannot accept the fact that | sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought |
Tx:15.96 | for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets nothing. | Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that salvation apart |
Tx:15.96 | is so essential to your thought system that salvation apart from | sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love |
Tx:15.96 | apart from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of | sacrifice and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love |
Tx:15.96 | and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without | sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon—sacrifice is |
Tx:15.96 | of love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon— | sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one idea, |
Tx:15.96 | your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of | sacrifice has been removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you are |
Tx:15.96 | last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if there is | sacrifice, as you are convinced, someone must pay and someone must |
Tx:15.98 | for the one idea that hides behind them all—that love demands | sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from attack and fear. And that |
Tx:15.98 | by fear. How fearful, then, has God become to you, and how great a | sacrifice do you believe His love demands! For total love would |
Tx:15.98 | do you believe His love demands! For total love would demand total | sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand less of you than God, and |
Tx:15.99 | You think that everyone outside yourself demands your | sacrifice, but you do not see that only you demand sacrifice and only |
Tx:15.99 | demands your sacrifice, but you do not see that only you demand | sacrifice and only of yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so |
Tx:15.99 | only you demand sacrifice and only of yourself. Yet the demand of | sacrifice is so savage and so fearful that you cannot accept it where |
Tx:15.99 | given God away rather than look at it. For if God would demand total | sacrifice of you, you thought it safer to project Him outward and |
Tx:15.99 | is what you invited in that would destroy you and does demand total | sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice will appease this savage |
Tx:15.99 | would destroy you and does demand total sacrifice of you. No partial | sacrifice will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who |
Tx:15.99 | an invader who but seems to offer kindness, but always to make the | sacrifice complete. |
Tx:15.100 | In you are both the question and the answer—the demand for | sacrifice and the peace of God. |
Tx:15.101 | Fear not to recognize the whole idea of | sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by attempting |
Tx:15.102 | the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No | sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the |
Tx:15.102 | kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole idea of | sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you need but |
Tx:15.103 | you have accepted it with me, you will give it with me. All pain and | sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship, which is |
Tx:15.103 | us and disappear in our presence, and without pain there can be no | sacrifice. And without sacrifice, there love must be. |
Tx:15.103 | presence, and without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without | sacrifice, there love must be. |
Tx:15.104 | You who believe that | sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. |
Tx:15.104 | You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that | sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as |
Tx:15.104 | is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For | sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the |
Tx:15.104 | guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of | sacrifice, as peace is the condition for the awareness of your |
Tx:15.105 | deprived. And so long will you also perceive yourself as a victim of | sacrifice, justified in sacrificing others. For who could thrust |
Tx:15.105 | For who could thrust Heaven and its Creator aside without a sense of | sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer sacrifice and loss without |
Tx:15.105 | aside without a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer | sacrifice and loss without attempting to restore himself? Yet how |
Tx:15.105 | as you would retain the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and | sacrifice becomes love. |
Tx:15.106 | So is it that in all your seeking for love, you seek for | sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to |
Tx:15.107 | And if you understand this lesson, you will realize that to | sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which |
Tx:15.107 | this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to | sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of the mind, |
Tx:15.107 | which must be of the mind, cannot be sacrificed. Where, then, is | sacrifice? |
Tx:15.108 | I was born to teach and still would teach to all my brothers is that | sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For communication |
Tx:15.108 | apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating peace by demanding no | sacrifice of anyone, for so will you offer me the love I offer you. |
Tx:16.49 | for there is no increase and no extension. Each partner tries to | sacrifice the self he does not want for one he thinks he would |
Tx:16.52 | in which it is thought to occur. The central theme in its litany to | sacrifice is that God must die so you can live. And it is this theme |
Tx:17.34 | of fanciful and fragmented illusions of love, set with dreams of | sacrifice and self-aggrandizement and interlaced with gilded threads |
Tx:19.61 | Is it a | sacrifice or a release? What has the body really given you that |
Tx:19.62 | fear that see the body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a | sacrifice to be removed from what can suffer? The Holy Spirit does |
Tx:19.62 | be removed from what can suffer? The Holy Spirit does not demand you | sacrifice the hope of the body's pleasure; it has no hope of |
Tx:19.64 | you peace. Are you not glad that Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and | sacrifice cannot be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can |
Tx:19.68 | Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of | sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead, without the |
Tx:19.81 | A body which they dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a | sacrifice to sin, offered to sin to feed upon and keep itself alive— |
Tx:21.37 | Those who believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for | sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose is accomplished. |
Tx:21.37 | their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that | sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to |
Tx:21.38 | Your faith in | sacrifice has given it great power in your sight, except you do not |
Tx:21.38 | sight, except you do not realize you cannot see because of it. For | sacrifice must be exacted of a body and by another body. The mind |
Tx:21.38 | and body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And so is | sacrifice invariably a means for limitation and thus for hate. |
Tx:21.39 | be one with what depends on darkness to be seen. Neither demands the | sacrifice of the other. Yet on the absence of the other does each |
Tx:21.40 | The body was made to be a | sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the |
Tx:24.17 | no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a | sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the love of God forever? |
Tx:24.49 | savior from the dreams of fear. He is the healing of your sense of | sacrifice and fear that what you have will scatter with the wind and |
Tx:24.60 | borne. Yet to the dedication to the truth as God established it no | sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and all the power of |
Tx:25.41 | It is no | sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom will you gain your |
Tx:25.66 | For that is vengeance in whatever form it takes. Justice demands no | sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made that sin may be preserved and |
Tx:25.66 | in whatever form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any | sacrifice is made that sin may be preserved and kept. It is a payment |
Tx:25.80 | one in which no one loses. And this must be true because He asks no | sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands the slightest loss to |
Tx:26.1 | In the “dynamics” of attack is | sacrifice a key idea. It is the pivot upon which all compromise, all |
Tx:26.1 | for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The body is itself a | sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of saving just a little |
Tx:26.1 | yours is the expression of a wish to see a little part of him and | sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will see nothing |
Tx:26.2 | and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each part must | sacrifice the other part to keep itself complete. For if they joined, |
Tx:26.3 | little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved through | sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this little |
Tx:26.3 | intact. In this perception of yourself, the body's loss would be a | sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice |
Tx:26.3 | be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies becomes the sign that | sacrifice is limited and something still remains for you alone. And |
Tx:26.4 | The body is a loss and can be made to | sacrifice. And while you see your brother as a body, apart from you |
Tx:26.4 | a body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are demanding | sacrifice of him and you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded |
Tx:26.4 | his cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him and you. What greater | sacrifice could be demanded than that God's Son perceive himself |
Tx:26.4 | without his Father? And his Father be without His Son? Yet every | sacrifice demands that they be separate and without the other. The |
Tx:26.4 | and without the other. The memory of God must be denied if any | sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's |
Tx:26.6 | You can lose sight of oneness, but can not make | sacrifice of its reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice |
Tx:26.6 | not make sacrifice of its reality. Nor can you lose what you would | sacrifice nor keep the Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that |
Tx:26.6 | to that you may see it and rejoice with him. Make not his holiness a | sacrifice to your belief in sin. You sacrifice your innocence with |
Tx:26.6 | him. Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your belief in sin. You | sacrifice your innocence with his and die each time you see in him a |
Tx:26.7 | in you be blotted out because he sees it not. You who would make a | sacrifice of life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the |
Tx:26.8 | each instant, untouched by time, and far beyond the reach of any | sacrifice of life or death. For neither did he make, and only one was |
Tx:26.8 | only one was given him by One Who knows His gifts can never suffer | sacrifice and loss. God's justice rests in gentleness upon His Son |
Tx:26.8 | lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his sins reality and | sacrifice his Father's Will for him? |
Tx:26.11 | it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a | sacrifice that you might gain. And when the situation is worked out |
Tx:26.15 | want to suffer loss and no one whom you wish to be preserved from | sacrifice entirely. Consider once again your special function. One is |
Tx:26.15 | given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you will ask no | sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer loss. The |
Tx:26.16 | without a cure has been transformed into a universal blessing. | Sacrifice is gone. And in its place the love of God can be remembered |
Tx:26.16 | the love of God can be remembered and will shine away all memory of | sacrifice and loss. |
Tx:26.24 | two things so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No | sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment of an illusion recognized |
Tx:26.44 | All belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in | sacrifice and death has come to you. For no one can make one illusion |
Tx:26.58 | does the Son of God ask not too much but far too little. He would | sacrifice his own identity with everything to find a little treasure |
Tx:26.59 | real and meaningful. And from this error does the world of sin and | sacrifice arise. This world is an attempt to prove your innocence |
Tx:26.61 | from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that he must make some | sacrifice and thus denies that everything is his, unlimited by loss |
Tx:26.61 | denies that everything is his, unlimited by loss of any kind. A tiny | sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the whole idea of |
Tx:26.61 | sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the whole idea of | sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son made |
Tx:26.69 | the giving and receiving of the gift seems to be one in which you | sacrifice and suffer loss. You see eventual salvation, not immediate |
Tx:26.74 | be perceived as “good” some day but now in form of pain. This is a | sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit asks |
Tx:26.87 | you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection of the cause of | sacrifice is at the root of everything perceived to be unfair and not |
Tx:26.87 | deprived of what he is, denied the right to be himself, and asked to | sacrifice his Father's love and yours as not his due? |
Tx:27.1 | treated, he must suffer the unfairness that you see. You cannot | sacrifice yourself alone. For sacrifice is total. If it could occur |
Tx:27.1 | unfairness that you see. You cannot sacrifice yourself alone. For | sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the |
Tx:27.1 | it would entail the whole of God's creation and the Father with the | sacrifice of his beloved Son. |
Tx:27.2 | In your release from | sacrifice is his made manifest and shown to be his own. But every |
Tx:27.21 | Who then fears healing? Only those to whom their brother's | sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their own serenity. Their |
Tx:27.21 | bound. And sickness is desired to prevent a shift of balance in the | sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even |
Tx:27.42 | An honest answer asks no | sacrifice because it answers questions truly asked. The questions of |
Tx:27.42 | questions truly asked. The questions of the world but ask of whom is | sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice is meaningful at all. And |
Tx:27.42 | of the world but ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if | sacrifice is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer tells “of |
Tx:28.15 | What has been lost, to see the causeless not? And where is | sacrifice, when memory of God has come to take the place of loss? |
Tx:28.46 | belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving up would be a | sacrifice. But miracles are the result when you do not insist on |
Tx:29.4 | “sacrifice” of love. The body saves you, for it gets away from total | sacrifice and gives you time in which to build again your separate |
Tx:29.7 | It is not love that asks a | sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's |
Tx:29.7 | It is not love that asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the | sacrifice of love, for in love's presence fear cannot abide. For hate |
Tx:29.10 | the road to hell instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a | sacrifice or any loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until |
Tx:29.17 | He really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it is you of whom the | sacrifice is asked? For He is told that part of Him belongs to Him no |
Tx:29.17 | For He is told that part of Him belongs to Him no longer. He must | sacrifice your self, and in His sacrifice are you made more, and He |
Tx:29.17 | belongs to Him no longer. He must sacrifice your self, and in His | sacrifice are you made more, and He is lessened by the loss of you. |
Tx:29.46 | For you believe that you can suffer lack, and lack is death. To | sacrifice is to give up and thus to be without and to have suffered |
Tx:29.51 | seeks to prove there is no death, and only life exists. The | sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot take the place of |
Tx:30.65 | is all you ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the world! But not to | sacrifice. You never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here |
Tx:30.71 | has not occurred. If pardon were unjustified, you would be asked to | sacrifice your rights when you return forgiveness for attack. But you |
Tx:30.86 | as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the end of all ideas of | sacrifice, which must assume a different purpose for the one who |
Tx:30.86 | the one who gains and him who loses. There could be no thought of | sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this idea of different |
Tx:30.87 | him and he with you. In symbols which you both can understand, the | sacrifice of meaning is undone. All sacrifice entails the loss of |
Tx:30.87 | you both can understand, the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All | sacrifice entails the loss of your ability to see relationships among |
Tx:31.30 | of pain and age, of grief and suffering. Here are the thoughts of | sacrifice preserved, for here guilt rules and orders that the world |
Tx:31.32 | exacted from your brother or yourself. For God has said there is no | sacrifice that can be asked; there is no sacrifice that can be made. |
Tx:31.32 | God has said there is no sacrifice that can be asked; there is no | sacrifice that can be made. |
W1:27.2 | There may be a great temptation to believe that some sort of | sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you want to see above |
W1:37.1 | everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of | sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled |
W1:37.2 | There is no other way in which the idea of | sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other way of |
W1:100.8 | what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that | sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's plan and never |
W1:100.8 | is asked. You but receive according to God's plan and never lose or | sacrifice or die. |
W1:134.1 | distorted and to be perceived as something which entails an unfair | sacrifice of righteous wrath, a gift unjustified and undeserved, and |
W1:135.26 | Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for | sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times today when undefended |
W1:153.4 | in fear of it. You do not understand how much you have been made to | sacrifice who feel its iron grip upon your heart. |
W1:155.4 | they give up the world, it would appear to them as if it asked the | sacrifice of something that is real. Many have chosen to renounce the |
W1:155.5 | there is another road that leads away from loss of every kind, for | sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind. This is the |
W1:155.7 | All roads will lead to this one in the end. For | sacrifice and deprivation are paths which lead nowhere, choices for |
W1:187.6 | Who understands what giving means must laugh at the idea of | sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which |
W1:187.6 | idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which | sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, at sickness |
W1:187.6 | and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at death. He recognizes | sacrifice remains the one idea that stands behind them all, and in |
W1:187.7 | when you choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of | sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. |
W1:187.7 | gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And | sacrifice is an idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once. |
W1:187.8 | Never believe that you can | sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. If |
W1:187.8 | Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for | sacrifice in what has any value. If the thought occurs, its very |
W1:187.8 | it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No form of | sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who |
W1:192.6 | indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight no | sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and |
W2:322.1 | I | sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the |
W2:322.2 | Father, to You all | sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice |
W2:322.2 | to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot | sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing |
W2:343.1 | give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so | sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. I too must give, |
W2:343.1 | and forever. As I was created, I remain. Your Son can make no | sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing |

M:4.9 | was meaningless in teaching him the difference. The idea of | sacrifice, so central to his thought system, had made it impossible |
M:10.2 | was always impossible for him, he no longer attempts it. This is no | sacrifice. On the contrary, he puts himself in a position where |
M:13.1 | Although in truth the term | sacrifice is altogether meaningless, it does have meaning in the |
M:13.1 | before another thought system can take hold, is that it is a | sacrifice to give up the things of this world. What could this be but |
M:13.2 | to accept the fact that the world has nothing to give. What can the | sacrifice of nothing mean? It cannot mean that you have less because |
M:13.2 | mean? It cannot mean that you have less because of it. There is no | sacrifice in the world's terms that does not involve the body. Think |
M:13.2 | does not involve the body. Think a while about what the world calls | sacrifice. Power, fame, money, physical pleasure—who is the hero to |
M:13.3 | that all the “pleasures” of the world are nothing. But what a | sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed—all this entails! Now has |
M:13.3 | of the world are nothing. But what a sacrifice—and it is | sacrifice indeed—all this entails! Now has the mind condemned |
M:13.4 | can have no regret on giving up the pleasures of the world. Is it a | sacrifice to give up pain? Does an adult resent the giving up of |
M:13.4 | it with condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is free of all the | sacrifice which its value would demand of him. To them he sacrifices |
M:13.4 | To them he sacrifices all his peace. And to possess them must he | sacrifice his hope of Heaven and remembrance of his Father's Love. |
M:13.5 | What is the real meaning of | sacrifice? It is the cost of believing in illusions. It is the price |
M:13.5 | And no one asks for pain if he recognizes it. It is the idea of | sacrifice that makes him blind. He does not see what he is asking |
M:13.6 | You may believe this course requires | sacrifice of all you really hold dear. In one sense that is true, for |
M:13.6 | the course's aim to set him free. But do not be mistaken about what | sacrifice means. It always means the giving up of what you want. And |
M:13.6 | You have been called by God, and you have answered. Would you now | sacrifice that Call? Few have heard it as yet, and they can but turn |
M:13.6 | is no other voice in all the world that echoes God's. If you would | sacrifice the truth, they stay in hell. And if they stay, you will |

Tx:19.1 | We | said before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, |
Tx:19.1 | the wholeness of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also | said that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is |
Tx:19.3 | accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has never | said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by insanity. |
Tx:19.22 | It can indeed be | said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could |

Tx:19.59 | We | said that peace must first surmount the obstacle of your desire to |
Tx:20.58 | We have | said much about discrepancies of means and end and how these must be |
Tx:20.58 | your holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have also | said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same |
Tx:21.24 | We have already | said that wishful thinking is how the ego deals with what it wants to |
Tx:21.76 | the others. Yet reason would assure you they are all the same. We | said this year would emphasize the sameness of things that are the |
Tx:24.38 | Long ago we | said consider not the means by which salvation is attained nor how to |

Tx:30.29 | We | said you can begin a happy day with the determination not to make |
Tx:30.38 | happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as if you | said, “I have no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it |
Tx:31.32 | ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself. For God has | said there is no sacrifice that can be asked; there is no sacrifice |
Tx:31.65 | nor what you choose to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has | said, “Your will be done.” And it is done to you accordingly. |
W1:39.3 | We have already | said that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about |

W1:140.13 | Only salvation can be | said to cure. Speak to us, Father, that we may be healed. |
W1:150.2 | [140] Only salvation can be | said to cure. |

W1:183.2 | God's Name cannot be heard without response, nor | said without an echo in the mind which calls you to remember. Say His |
W1:185.2 | For that is all he wants, and that is all he will receive. Many have | said these words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to |

M:I.2 | for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course might be | said to provide you with a means of choosing what you want to teach |
M:4.2 | among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be | said that the advanced teachers of God have the following |

M:16.2 | goals for which they were set up. Broadly speaking, then, it can be | said that it is well to start the day right. It is always possible to |
M:20.1 | It has been | said that there is a kind of peace that is not of this world. How is |

Tx:6.24 | on each other is without limit and must be used for their joint | salvation. Each one must learn to teach that all forms of rejection |

Tx:8.94 | If you did not have split minds, you would recognize that willing is | salvation because it is communication. It is impossible to |
Tx:8.96 | truth but only in it. Reality is the only safety. Your will is your | salvation because it is the same as God's. The separation is nothing |
Tx:8.112 | Salvation is of your brother. The Holy Spirit extends from your mind | |
Tx:9.15 | the sign of your willingness to follow the Holy Spirit's plan of | salvation in recognition of the fact that you do not know what it is. |
Tx:9.16 | unfortunate and that it is a remarkably poor choice as a teacher of | salvation. Yet this question, ridiculous as it seems, is really the |
Tx:9.38 | God's Will is your | salvation. Would He not have given you the means to find it? If He |
Tx:9.38 | it. Your brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek far for | salvation. Every minute and every second gives you a chance to save |
Tx:9.75 | He has given it to you. Do not be afraid of it, because it is your | salvation. What Comforter can there be for the sick Children of God |
Tx:10.31 | Never forget that the Sonship is your | salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As God's creation, it is |

Tx:10.31 | Your Soul does not need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what | salvation is. You are not saved from anything, but you are saved for |
Tx:10.53 | be established and obsessed with the conviction that separation is | salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by breaking it up |
Tx:10.53 | ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is | salvation, harmony is threat. |
Tx:10.73 | for you out of what you have made, and to perceive only this is | salvation because it is the recognition that reality is only what is |
Tx:11.7 | How simple, then, is God's plan for | salvation. There is but one response to reality, for reality evokes |
Tx:11.25 | do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he believes | salvation lies in it. If you insist on refusing and experience a |
Tx:11.25 | a quick response of opposition, you are believing that your | salvation lies in not doing it. You, then, are making the same |
Tx:11.25 | and what you invest in is always related to your notion of | salvation. The question is always two-fold—first, what is to be |
Tx:11.27 | to do so is to deny yourself and impoverish both. He is asking for | salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the ego and never of God. No |
Tx:11.28 | Salvation is for the mind, and it is attained through peace. This is | |
Tx:11.28 | than love arises from a confusion about the “what” and the “how” of | salvation, and this is the only answer. Never lose sight of this, and |
Tx:11.28 | poor, who do not understand that they dwell in abundance and that | salvation is come. |
Tx:11.30 | ego identification, for everyone believes that identification is | salvation. Yet consider what has happened, for thoughts do have |
Tx:11.34 | Yet this world is only in the mind of its maker along with his real | salvation. Do not believe it is outside of yourself, for only by |
Tx:11.34 | and where it began it must end. For in this same place also lies | salvation. The altar of God where Christ abideth is there. |
Tx:11.36 | it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the ego is | salvation is intensely engaged in the search for love. Yet the ego, |
Tx:11.87 | For no father could subject his children to this as the price of | salvation and be loving. Love does not kill to save. If it did, |
Tx:11.87 | be loving. Love does not kill to save. If it did, attack would be | salvation, and this is the ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the |
Tx:11.88 | for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of | salvation. |
Tx:11.98 | attack, being fully committed to the insane notion that attack is | salvation. And you who cherish guilt must also believe it, for how |
Tx:12.4 | are its “enemies” because, by not valuing its interpretation of | salvation, they are in an excellent position to let it go. They have |
Tx:12.12 | to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You believe that attack is | salvation to prevent you from this. For still deeper than the ego's |
Tx:12.29 | with your own past? For you are meeting no one, and the sharing of | salvation, which makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your |
Tx:12.30 | and it presents the opportunities for the holy encounters in which | salvation can be found. |
Tx:12.31 | would release you from it. It is His interpretation of the means of | salvation which you must learn to accept if you would share His goal |
Tx:12.31 | which you must learn to accept if you would share His goal of | salvation for you. |
Tx:12.52 | Now is the time of | salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach out to all your |
Tx:12.68 | concept if it is left to you. The ego wants to have things for | salvation, for possession is its law. Possession for its own sake is |
Tx:12.69 | it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees | salvation, it sees separation, and so you lose whatever you have |
Tx:12.75 | and to yourself. This is the only real need to be fulfilled in time. | Salvation from the world lies only here. My peace I give you. Take it |
Tx:13.21 | release. No one who would unite in any way with anyone for his own | salvation will find it in that strange relationship. It is not |
Tx:13.23 | means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they really are? | Salvation is not found by those who use their brothers to resolve |
Tx:13.23 | brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You wanted not | salvation in the past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the |
Tx:13.23 | Would you impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to find | salvation now? |
Tx:13.43 | God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn | salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not be |
Tx:13.43 | to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you. | Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn that even |
Tx:13.46 | possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the | salvation of everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be |
Tx:13.64 | Yet this entails the recognition that guilt is interference, not | salvation, and serves no useful function at all. |
Tx:13.73 | they are guilty will respond to guilt because they think it is | salvation and will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They |
Tx:13.76 | has set for his Atonement, relinquishing his own. You know not of | salvation, for you do not understand it. Make no decisions about what |
Tx:13.77 | you undertake alone but signifies that you would define what | salvation is and what you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit knows |
Tx:13.77 | is and what you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit knows that all | salvation is escape from guilt. You have no other “enemy,” and |
Tx:13.78 | Let Him, therefore, be the only Guide that you would follow to | salvation. He knows the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you |
Tx:13.78 | peace as surely as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that | salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it |
Tx:13.78 | the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you alone. | Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it for you. He has not forgotten |
Tx:13.78 | Forget Him not, and He will make every decision for you, for your | salvation, and the peace of God in you. |
Tx:14.27 | what you do not want to what you do. You will realize that | salvation must come to you this way if you consider what dissociation |
Tx:15.11 | And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the holy present is | salvation from change. Change is an illusion, taught by those who |
Tx:15.12 | Could you not give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for your | salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes far |
Tx:15.33 | If you are wholly willing to leave | salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for |
Tx:15.33 | plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, | salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your |
Tx:15.36 | as you want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find | salvation in your own way and have it. Give over every plan that you |
Tx:15.36 | way and have it. Give over every plan that you have made for your | salvation in exchange for God's. His will content you, and there is |
Tx:15.37 | His host abide in perfect freedom. Every allegiance to a plan of | salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His Will for |
Tx:15.41 | that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not share and that | salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself alone. For in |
Tx:15.46 | For separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for | salvation is to believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. |
Tx:15.47 | believe that special relationships, with special love, can offer you | salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. For it is the |
Tx:15.47 | love, can offer you salvation is the belief that separation is | salvation. For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which |
Tx:15.47 | salvation. For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which | salvation lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the |
Tx:15.77 | who believe that communication is damnation that communication is | salvation. And He will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is |
Tx:15.79 | He will teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your | salvation. And that in complete forgiveness, in which you recognize |
Tx:15.96 | gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that | salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion |
Tx:15.100 | of the decision just as it is that makes the decision so easy! | Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore very easy to |
Tx:15.105 | And as long as you would retain the deprivation, attack becomes | salvation, and sacrifice becomes love. |
Tx:16.30 | is undertaken solely to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your | salvation will rise clearly before your open eyes as you look on |
Tx:16.56 | Salvation lies in the simple fact that illusions are not fearful | |
Tx:16.67 | Be glad you have escaped the mockery of | salvation which the ego offered you and look not back with longing on |
Tx:16.73 | special relationship, which binds you to it and would teach you that | salvation is past and that you must return to the past to find |
Tx:16.73 | that salvation is past and that you must return to the past to find | salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain the dream of |
Tx:16.75 | Against the ego's insane notion of | salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said |
Tx:16.75 | truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in | salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy instant, it is |
Tx:16.79 | to restore the Kingdom to you and to place all your investment in | salvation in your relationship with Him. |
Tx:17.6 | attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and from | salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth what was denied |
Tx:17.9 | is given, complete and wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned | salvation could complete it thus. The real world, in its loveliness, |
Tx:17.12 | And there he knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even | salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation |
Tx:17.12 | Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For | salvation is the end of dreams and with the closing of the dream will |
Tx:17.12 | Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could ever be need of | salvation? |
Tx:17.13 | How much do you want | salvation? It will give you the real world, trembling with readiness |
Tx:17.43 | of the holy instant in living in this world. Like everything about | salvation, the holy instant is a practical device, witnessed to by |
Tx:17.51 | You are very new in the ways of | salvation and think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but |
Tx:17.52 | all it needs now is your blessing that you may see that in it rests | salvation. Condemn salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome |
Tx:17.52 | your blessing that you may see that in it rests salvation. Condemn | salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome it together, for |
Tx:17.73 | strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for it calls you to | salvation and to peace. |
Tx:17.78 | you to realize what your lack of faith in him must mean to you. His | salvation is your only purpose. See only this in every situation, and |
Tx:18.21 | He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for the | salvation of everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who |
Tx:18.29 | with me in the holy light of your relationship, is your need for | salvation. Would I not give you what you gave to me? For when you |
Tx:18.30 | You who are now the bringers of | salvation have the function of bringing light to darkness. The |
Tx:18.38 | for the escape from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and make | salvation fearful. And it is only fear that you will add if you |
Tx:18.39 | what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand nothing. | Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing that you cannot give |
Tx:18.41 | relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which | salvation is accomplished would have no purpose. For they are all but |
Tx:18.53 | not have the instruments of separation reinterpreted as means for | salvation and used for purposes of love? Would you not welcome and |
Tx:19.13 | faithlessness had driven you apart, and so you did not recognize | salvation in each other. Yet faith unites you in the holiness you |
Tx:19.17 | be not confused with “sin,” and it is this distinction which makes | salvation possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong made |
Tx:19.41 | of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand between your brothers and | salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of attack you cherish |
Tx:19.43 | Would you thrust | salvation away from the giver of salvation? For such have you become. |
Tx:19.43 | Would you thrust salvation away from the giver of | salvation? For such have you become. Peace could no more depart from |
Tx:19.43 | of God. Peace will flow across it and join you without hindrance. | Salvation cannot be withheld from you. It is your purpose. You cannot |
Tx:19.53 | share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They offer you | salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the world |
Tx:19.56 | ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. | Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of God was killed |
Tx:19.57 | no greater value than yours; no better means for communication of | salvation, but not its Source. No one can die for anyone, and death |
Tx:19.61 | really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it lies | salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in death? Here is |
Tx:19.63 | accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of fear. You want | salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a |
Tx:19.66 | relationship truth proclaims the truth, and love looks on itself. | Salvation flows from deep within the home you offered to my Father |
Tx:19.86 | to grow into a mighty force for God, is very near. The infancy of | salvation is carefully guarded by love, preserved from every thought |
Tx:19.90 | your mind, peace must still surmount a final obstacle after which is | salvation completed and the Son of God entirely restored to sanity. |
Tx:19.101 | to keep what seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your | salvation. You see his madness, which you hate because you share it. |
Tx:19.102 | his sins against him or accept his gift to you? Is this giver of | salvation your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that |
Tx:19.103 | share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still offers you | salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of |
Tx:19.108 | but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for | salvation will be left undone. This is the journey's purpose, without |
Tx:19.109 | appear to be. As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of | salvation, so will his offering be seen and so received. The |
Tx:20.4 | celebrate his holiness along with me. For Easter is the time of your | salvation, along with mine. |
Tx:20.29 | lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his own | salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving, |
Tx:20.32 | all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the same need not | salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to look |
Tx:20.35 | ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your | salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one |
Tx:20.56 | one he chose before. And here can he learn relationships are his | salvation and not his doom. You who are learning this may still be |
Tx:20.66 | you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from fear. | Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what |
Tx:20.69 | of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what | salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that |
Tx:20.72 | you, you will never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your | salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy purpose |
Tx:21.13 | Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on which | salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion is |
Tx:21.14 | only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of | salvation lies: |
Tx:21.17 | gift is given you the power to release your savior that he may give | salvation unto you. |
Tx:21.20 | is. And very simply see in it the whole exchange of separation for | salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that |
Tx:21.53 | God's plan for your | salvation could not have been established without your will and your |
Tx:21.54 | what is so, for this must have an answer if the plan of God for your | salvation is complete. And it must be complete because its Source |
Tx:21.65 | choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole | salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to |
Tx:21.66 | That you are joined is your | salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven |
Tx:22.26 | Only your thoughts have been impossible. | Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to look upon your savior as |
Tx:22.31 | Reason is not | salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and brings you to a |
Tx:22.31 | it makes way for peace and brings you to a state of mind in which | salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate, |
Tx:22.36 | you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your | salvation. You gave him not his holiness but tried to see your sins |
Tx:22.36 | Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose holiness is your | salvation? |
Tx:22.42 | have corrected for you, for in his sight your loveliness is his | salvation which he would protect from harm. And each will be the |
Tx:23.6 | bestows upon it! What can you value more than this? For here is your | salvation and your freedom. And it must be complete if you would |
Tx:23.25 | the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can | salvation lie within the Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war |
Tx:23.25 | now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now | salvation must remain impossible because the savior has become the |
Tx:23.30 | The substitute for love, born of your enmity to one another, must be | salvation. It has no substitute, and there is only one. And all your |
Tx:23.31 | is here you look for meaning. These are the laws you made for your | salvation. They hold in place the substitute for Heaven which you |
Tx:23.33 | throne of love, its dying conqueror, its substitute, the savior from | salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear! Give |
Tx:23.35 | condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior powerless and finds | salvation? Let not the form of the attack on him deceive you. You |
Tx:23.43 | Salvation is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is to accept | |
Tx:23.43 | but part of what you want—to take a little and give up the rest. | Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the idea |
Tx:23.43 | where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the belief | salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little, |
Tx:23.44 | believe that compromise is possible. They do not see that, if it is, | salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that salvation is |
Tx:23.44 | if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that | salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has |
Tx:24.13 | of littleness and be released from limits? You have a function in | salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of |
Tx:24.13 | of specialness must bring you pain. Here is a goal that would defeat | salvation and thus run counter to the Will of God. To value |
Tx:24.18 | all the sins you think you placed between him and the function of | salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his function, any |
Tx:24.24 | your special kingdom, apart from God, away from truth and from | salvation. |
Tx:24.25 | offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your | salvation in place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save |
Tx:24.30 | they wait for all illusions to be brought to them and left behind. | Salvation challenges not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that |
Tx:24.31 | for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to love and to | salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of |
Tx:24.34 | is death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is now redemption, and | salvation can only mean destruction of the world, except yourself. |
Tx:24.38 | Long ago we said consider not the means by which | salvation is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and |
Tx:24.39 | dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain beyond | salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting world which has no |
Tx:24.47 | You who would be content with specialness and seek | salvation in a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven |
Tx:24.54 | is not. Within your brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your | salvation and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in Whom |
Tx:24.55 | by still one more denial of Christ in him. And where is your | salvation if he is but a body? Where is your peace but in his |
Tx:25.22 | may esteem yourself and him. To each of you is given the power of | salvation that escape from darkness into light be yours to share; |
Tx:25.40 | save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior offers you | salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In everyone you |
Tx:25.46 | to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in | salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the plan |
Tx:25.47 | means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into | salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, it is |
Tx:25.48 | brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead of lose. | Salvation is no more than a reminder this world is not your home; its |
Tx:25.48 | he chose to hurt himself did God appoint to be the means for his | salvation from the very instant that the choice was made. His special |
Tx:25.49 | You wanted it, and it is given you. All that you made can serve | salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy |
Tx:25.49 | one another. Take it gently then from one another's hand, and let | salvation be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, |
Tx:25.57 | It would be madness to entrust | salvation to the insane. Because He is not mad has God appointed One |
Tx:25.57 | saner world to meet the sight of everyone who chose insanity as his | salvation. To this One is given the choice of form most suitable to |
Tx:25.61 | Salvation is rebirth of the idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. | |
Tx:25.61 | sin must be impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which | salvation rests, the vantage point from which the Holy Spirit gives |
Tx:25.62 | at any cost. No one can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled. | Salvation is His Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for |
Tx:25.63 | The Holy Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your | salvation. But He cannot use what you withhold, for He cannot take it |
Tx:25.64 | Here is the only principle | salvation needs. Nor is it necessary that your faith in it be strong, |
Tx:25.64 | beliefs opposed to it. You have no fixed allegiance. But remember | salvation is not needed by the saved. You are not called upon to do |
Tx:25.65 | There is a kind of justice in | salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the world, justice and |
Tx:25.79 | is fair. He does not fight against His Son's reluctance to perceive | salvation as a gift from Him. Yet would His justice not be satisfied |
Tx:25.83 | and thus apart from healing. Who is there who can be separate from | salvation if its purpose is the end of specialness? Where is |
Tx:25.84 | Salvation cannot seek to help God's Son be more unfair than he has | |
Tx:25.86 | you give. Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which | salvation rests—that justice must be done to all if anyone is to be |
Tx:26.20 | together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is. | Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have |
Tx:26.22 | Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs | |
Tx:26.22 | Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs | salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can |
Tx:26.56 | Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is | |
Tx:26.61 | is not release. God's Son could never be content with less than full | salvation and escape from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that |
Tx:26.64 | because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does all | salvation lie, to be both offered and received as one. |
Tx:26.69 | to be one in which you sacrifice and suffer loss. You see eventual | salvation, not immediate results. |
Tx:26.70 | Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you will be afraid | |
Tx:26.70 | In this form is the error still obscured that is the source of fear. | Salvation would wipe out the space you see between you still and let |
Tx:26.77 | 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:26.90 | dim and threatening, and not a trace of all the happy sparkle that | salvation brought can you perceive to lighten up your way. And so you |
Tx:27.16 | errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving, offering | salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken body shows the mind |
Tx:27.20 | The world perceives it as a statement of the “fact” that your | salvation sacrifices his. The Holy Spirit knows your healing is the |
Tx:27.60 | healed, because the suffering of the world has made it deaf to its | salvation and deliverance. |
Tx:27.62 | has done to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of | salvation clearly shown. Like to a dream of punishment in which the |
Tx:27.86 | The secret of | salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No |
Tx:27.89 | all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson truly learned. | Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. The universe |
Tx:28.24 | This is the separation's final step with which | salvation, which proceeds to go the other way, begins. This final |
Tx:28.27 | the mind is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, | salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the |
Tx:28.28 | What waits in perfect certainty beyond | salvation is not our concern. For you have barely started to allow |
Tx:28.61 | but its opposite? There is no middle ground in any aspect of | salvation. You accept it wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated |
Tx:29.2 | gap must bring to those who cherish it and think that it is their | salvation and their hope. |
Tx:29.18 | failure to perceive that it is nothing. Yet its nothingness is your | salvation, from which you would flee. |
Tx:29.20 | you depends his happiness. For who is savior but the one who gives | salvation? Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he gives, he |
Tx:29.24 | waken and be sure his waking eyes will rest on you. And in his glad | salvation, you are saved. |
Tx:29.38 | of madness and of murder, grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice” | salvation asks and gladly offers peace instead of this. |
Tx:29.50 | And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. | Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer death. |
Tx:29.51 | It is not so. | Salvation seeks to prove there is no death, and only life exists. The |
Tx:29.62 | a part of evil dreams where idols are your “true” identity and your | salvation from the judgment laid in terror and in guilt upon yourself. |
Tx:29.64 | There can be no | salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. For idols must be part |
Tx:30.37 | 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:30.55 | Salvation is a paradox indeed! What could it be except a happy dream? | |
Tx:30.56 | of terror that you made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed | salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks for nothing in |
Tx:30.56 | will and but restored to what he is. What could God's plan for his | salvation be, except a means to give him to Himself? |
Tx:30.71 | unforgivable nor overlook a real attack that calls for punishment. | Salvation does not lie in being asked to make unnatural responses |
Tx:30.76 | remain afraid to look within and find escape from every idol there. | Salvation rests on faith there cannot be some forms of guilt which |
Tx:30.81 | you been deceived in him who has been given you to heal, for your | salvation and deliverance? |
Tx:30.90 | cannot have the changelessness reality entails. The miracle attests | salvation from appearances by showing they can change. Your brother |
Tx:31.1 | How simple is | salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now and |
Tx:31.2 | is a reason. But confuse it not with difficulty in the simple things | salvation asks you learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely |
Tx:31.4 | of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple things | salvation teaches you! |
Tx:31.17 | But hear the other, and you join with him, and in your answer is | salvation found. The voice you hear in him is but your own. What does |
Tx:31.56 | believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. | Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts. |
Tx:31.61 | Yet in this learning is | salvation born. And what you are will tell you of Itself. |
Tx:31.63 | Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the body, you behold a | |
Tx:31.63 | where so much change is seen, for who is worthy if he be but dust? | Salvation is undoing of all this. And constancy arises in the sight |
Tx:31.63 | of all this. And constancy arises in the sight of those whose eyes | salvation has released from looking at the cost of keeping guilt |
Tx:31.64 | Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the | |
Tx:31.64 | not understand how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world | salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes could |
Tx:31.68 | Learning is change. | Salvation does not seek to use a means as yet too alien to your |
Tx:31.73 | another way. Would you not rather look upon yourself as needed for | salvation of the world instead of as salvation's enemy? |
Tx:31.75 | part of true creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all | salvation from the misery of hell. And to each one has He allowed the |
Tx:31.76 | The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of | salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all are different |
Tx:31.78 | —that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and sees his own | salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm |
Tx:31.92 | close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way to his | salvation and release. Choose once again what you would have him be, |
Tx:31.93 | his eyes and let him look upon the Christ in him. My brothers in | salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my words. I ask |
W1:14.3 | place. The early steps in this exchange, which can truly be called | salvation, can be quite difficult and even quite painful. Some of |
W1:16.3 | In addition to never being idle, | salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you have |
W1:19.2 | to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if | salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because |
W1:19.2 | understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all. And | salvation must be possible because it is the Will of God. |
W1:20.1 | of the crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking. The | salvation of the world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you |
W1:20.2 | not misconstrue it as an effort to exert force or pressure. You want | salvation. You want to be happy. You want peace. You do not have them |
W1:20.3 | is asked of you for a sign that our goal is of little worth. Can the | salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be |
W1:23.4 | from the world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what | salvation means, for where is the world you see when its cause is |
W1:37.3 | Your holiness is the | salvation of the world. It lets you teach the world that it is one |
W1:39.3 | We have already said that your holiness is the | salvation of the world. What about your own salvation? You cannot |
W1:39.3 | 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 | what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he teach | salvation? Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing |
W1:39.3 | Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your | salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply the |
W1:39.3 | to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the | salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, |
W1:39.4 | the end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the | salvation of the world and your own. How could you to whom your |
W1:39.7 | subjects for today's exercises. It is imperative for your own | salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on |
W1:39.8 | search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your | salvation. Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this way: |
W1:39.9 | thoughts about _____ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my | salvation. |
W1:39.11 | be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness is your | salvation. |
W1:39.15 | My holiness is my | salvation from this. |
W1:43.2 | see. Perception has no function in God and does not exist. Yet in | salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a |
W1:44.8 | you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very holy. | Salvation is your happiest accomplishment. It is also the only one |
W1:46.2 | awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called | salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear. |
W1:55.4 | escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my | salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see |
W1:58.5 | [39] My holiness is my | salvation. Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my |
W1:58.5 | saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is recognizing my | salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the world. Once I |
W1:58.5 | my holiness is recognizing my salvation. It is also recognizing the | salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can |
W1:61.2 | it for self-debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in | salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist that |
W1:61.3 | on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in | salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved and |
W1:61.9 | views of what you are and what your purpose is. As a bringer of | salvation, this is obviously necessary. This is the first of a number |
W1:61.10 | You are the light of the world. God has built His plan for the | salvation of His Son on you. |
W1:62.1 | return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness lies your | salvation. |
W1:63.2 | no idle request that is being asked of you. You are asked to accept | salvation that it may be yours to give. |
W1:63.4 | through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the | salvation of the world. |
W1:63.6 | Remember that God's Son looks to you for his | salvation. And who but your Self must be His Son? |
W1:64.2 | appearance of temptation becomes the spiritual recognition of | salvation. |
W1:64.4 | The world's | salvation awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the Son of |
W1:65.1 | The idea for today reaffirms your commitment to | salvation. It also reminds you that you have no function other than |
W1:65.1 | of these thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment. | Salvation cannot be the only purpose you hold while you still cherish |
W1:65.1 | you hold while you still cherish others. The full acceptance of | salvation as your only function necessarily entails two phases: the |
W1:65.1 | only function necessarily entails two phases: the recognition of | salvation as your function and the relinquishment of all the other |
W1:65.11 | conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you really want | salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the contrary. |
W1:66.11 | has taken in your mind and the many ways in which you tried to find | salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you happy? |
W1:67.1 | the world's savior. This is why the Son of God looks to you for his | salvation. He is saved by what you are. |
W1:69.1 | of your grievances is lifted, you are released with him. Share your | salvation now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He |
W1:69.2 | trying to do. We are literally attempting to get in touch with the | salvation of the world. We are trying to see past the veil of |
W1:69.3 | and real determination to reach what is dearer to us than all else. | Salvation is our only need. There is no other purpose here and no |
W1:69.3 | is no other purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning | salvation is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by |
W1:69.10 | what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be revealed to me for my | salvation and the salvation of the world. |
W1:69.10 | Yet I want to let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the | salvation of the world. |
W1:70.1 | some form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for today. | Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does |
W1:70.1 | you. So, too, does the source of guilt. You see neither guilt nor | salvation as in your own mind and nowhere else. When you realize that |
W1:70.1 | an invention of your mind, you must also realize that guilt and | salvation must be in the same place. Understanding this you are saved. |
W1:70.3 | accepted. And you must surely begin to see that accepting it is | salvation. It may not, however, be clear to you why the recognition |
W1:70.3 | that guilt is in your own mind entails the realization that | salvation is there as well. |
W1:70.8 | idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that | salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this |
W1:70.9 | My | salvation comes from me. It cannot come from anywhere else. |
W1:70.10 | to reviewing some of the external places where you have looked for | salvation in the past—in other people, in possessions, in various |
W1:70.11 | My | salvation cannot come from any of these things. My salvation comes |
W1:70.11 | My salvation cannot come from any of these things. My | salvation comes from me, and only from me. |
W1:70.12 | Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your | salvation is. You cannot find it in the clouds that surround the |
W1:70.13 | Since all illusions of | salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to remain in the |
W1:70.13 | idols there when you could so easily walk on into the light of real | salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. |
W1:70.14 | short and frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your | salvation comes from you and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper |
W1:70.14 | are free from all external interference. You are in charge of your | salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world. Say, then: |
W1:70.14 | You are in charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the | salvation of the world. Say, then: |
W1:70.15 | My | salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. |
W1:70.15 | me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's | salvation and my own. |
W1:71.1 | You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for | salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you |
W1:71.2 | The ego's plan for | salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that if |
W1:71.2 | or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus the source of | salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. |
W1:71.3 | I would be saved.” The change of mind that is necessary for | salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself. |
W1:71.4 | to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of | salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. This ensures |
W1:71.5 | Such is the ego's plan for your | salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the |
W1:71.5 | find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find | salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it |
W1:71.6 | God's plan for | salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek |
W1:71.6 | works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for | salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you |
W1:71.6 | purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow two plans for | salvation which are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can |
W1:71.7 | Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for | salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about this, |
W1:71.8 | with no resolution possible. All things are possible to God. | Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail. |
W1:71.9 | each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your | salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself |
W1:71.12 | let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your | salvation. He will answer you in proportion to your willingness to |
W1:71.13 | the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that God's plan for | salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to |
W1:71.14 | Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for | salvation. And only His plan will work. |
W1:71.15 | to spend a half-minute or less than to remember the Source of your | salvation and to see it where it is. |
W1:72.1 | While we have recognized that the ego's plan for | salvation is the opposite of God's, we have not yet emphasized that |
W1:72.3 | so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for | salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things which you are apt |
W1:72.5 | If God is a body, what must His plan for | salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to present |
W1:72.6 | that he is a body and condemns him for it. And it asserts that his | salvation must be death, projecting this attack onto God and holding |
W1:72.7 | The body is your only savior. It is the death of God and your | salvation. |
W1:72.8 | center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God's plan for | salvation and holding your grievances against Him and His creation, |
W1:72.9 | We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on | salvation. We will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down |
W1:72.10 | as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan for | salvation and to accept it instead. And wherever His plan is |
W1:72.11 | longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for | salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, |
W1:72.12 | What is | salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. |
W1:72.14 | We have attacked God's plan for | salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted our |
W1:72.14 | and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is | salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will |
W1:72.15 | We are no longer asking the ego what | salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of truth. Be |
W1:72.16 | What is | salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. |
W1:72.19 | Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for | salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, Father? |
W1:72.19 | on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is | salvation, Father? |
W1:73.6 | of grievances is easily passed and cannot stand between you and your | salvation. The reason is very simple. Do you really want to be in |
W1:73.7 | it is happiness you really want. Such is your will in truth. And so | salvation is your will as well. You want to succeed in what we are |
W1:73.8 | We will succeed today if you remember that you will | salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's plan because you |
W1:73.8 | no will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so. | Salvation is for you. Above all else you want the freedom to remember |
W1:73.10 | our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for | salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your will. It is |
W1:76.1 | observed before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be | salvation. Each has imprisoned you with laws as senseless as itself. |
W1:76.1 | by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must first realize | salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in things that |
W1:76.1 | bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove | salvation is where it is not. |
W1:76.2 | never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is | salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be |
W1:77.1 | offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple is | salvation! It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this |
W1:77.5 | the assurance that your request is granted. You have asked for the | salvation of the world and for your own. You have requested that you |
W1:78.12 | throughout the day and take the role assigned to us as part of God's | salvation plan, and not our own. Temptation falls away when we allow |
W1:80.1 | answered, and you have no other. Therefore you must be at peace. | Salvation does depend on recognizing this one problem and |
W1:80.1 | understanding that it has been solved. One problem—one solution. | Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you. |
W1:80.1 | and you are ready to take your rightful place in God's plan for | salvation. |
W1:80.2 | laid deception aside and seen the light of truth. You have accepted | salvation for yourself by bringing the problem to the answer. And you |
W1:80.5 | the problem has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of | salvation lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work. |
W1:R2.4 | into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to | salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your function |
W1:85.5 | [70] My | salvation comes from me. Today I will recognize where my salvation |
W1:85.5 | [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I will recognize where my | salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there. It has not |
W1:85.7 | Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my | salvation. I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the |
W1:85.7 | I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my | salvation. This has no power to remove salvation from me. |
W1:85.7 | awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no power to remove | salvation from me. |
W1:86.2 | [71] Only God's plan for | salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about |
W1:86.2 | will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for | salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many things, but when |
W1:86.2 | it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for | salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never |
W1:86.4 | God's plan for | salvation will save me from my perception of this. This is no |
W1:86.4 | my perception of this. This is no exception in God's plan for my | salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for |
W1:86.4 | salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for | salvation. |
W1:86.5 | [72] Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for | salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan |
W1:86.5 | Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for | salvation will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding |
W1:86.5 | By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of | salvation from my awareness. I would no longer defeat my own best |
W1:86.5 | own best interests in this insane way. I would accept God's plan for | salvation and be happy. |
W1:86.7 | I am choosing between misperception and | salvation as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, |
W1:86.7 | grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my | salvation. This calls for salvation, not attack. |
W1:86.7 | in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for | salvation, not attack. |
W1:88.2 | [75] The light has come. In choosing | salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is |
W1:88.2 | than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already here. | Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not |
W1:89.5 | my illusions be replaced with truth according to God's plan for my | salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. I want all |
W1:89.7 | I would not hold this grievance apart from my | salvation. Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. Beyond |
W1:90.2 | the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of | salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one |
W1:93.2 | That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought | salvation in strange ways—have been deceived, deceiving, and afraid |
W1:93.7 | Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought—you are as God | |
W1:93.17 | You can do much for the world's | salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to |
W1:93.17 | You can do much today to bring you closer to accepting the part in | salvation which God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to |
W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete | salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation |
W1:94.1 | world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is | salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored. |
W1:95.6 | the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in | salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is |
W1:96.7 | mean in truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for? | Salvation cannot make illusions real and solve a problem that does |
W1:96.8 | within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds | salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a |
W1:96.8 | Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace. | Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted |
W1:96.8 | it for you and answered in your name that it was done. Thus is | salvation kept among the thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes |
W1:96.9 | five minute practicing will be a search for Him within your mind. | Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who is the bridge |
W1:96.12 | Salvation comes from my One Self. Its thoughts are mine to use. | |
W1:96.14 | in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones you have. | Salvation is among them; find it there. |
W1:96.17 | Each time today you tell your frantic mind | salvation comes from your One Self, you lay another treasure in your |
W1:97.3 | and over, for the miracle makes use of time but is not ruled by it. | Salvation is a miracle, the first and last; the first that is the |
W1:98.1 | position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth today and to | salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something |
W1:98.9 | I will accept my part in God's plan for | salvation. |
W1:99.1 | Salvation and forgiveness are the same. They both imply that | |
W1:99.2 | happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, | salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the truth and |
W1:99.2 | becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. | Salvation is the borderland between the truth and illusion. It |
W1:99.7 | Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the plan was given. | |
W1:99.8 | Salvation is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is | |
W1:99.13 | Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and forgiveness are the | |
W1:99.13 | Salvation is my only function here. | Salvation and forgiveness are the same. |
W1:99.15 | of God. Forgive yourself the one you think you made. Forgiveness and | salvation are the same. Forgive what you have made, and you are saved. |
W1:99.17 | Salvation is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is | |
W1:99.19 | Salvation is my only function here. | |
W1:100.1 | his Father, so your part in it completes your Father's plan. | Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and |
W1:100.11 | every time you tell yourself you are essential to God's plan for the | salvation of the world. |
W1:101.1 | the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in understanding what | salvation means. You still believe it asks for suffering as penance |
W1:101.1 | sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be escaped. | Salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering. |
W1:101.3 | If sin is real, | salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can |
W1:101.3 | the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is real. | Salvation must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking |
W1:101.3 | boon of death to victims who are little more than bones before | salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but wholly |
W1:101.4 | Who would seek out such savage punishment? Who would not flee | salvation and attempt in every way he can to drown the Voice Which |
W1:101.4 | to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real, | salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who |
W1:102.3 | safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is | salvation. Here is rest at last. |
W1:104.4 | practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your | salvation, should begin with this: |
W1:106.1 | if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what | salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in |
W1:106.6 | who wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for | salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you will |
W1:106.7 | and thus become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does | salvation start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and |
W1:108.5 | correction or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring | salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of one |
W1:R3.4 | mind about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing | salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear. When |
W1:R3.7 | It will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your | salvation. Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours |
W1:113.3 | [96] | Salvation comes from my One Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge |
W1:113.3 | still remains Within my mind, I see God's perfect plan For my | salvation perfectly fulfilled. |
W1:113.7 | Salvation comes from my One Self. | |
W1:114.3 | [98] I will accept my part in God's plan for | salvation. What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who |
W1:114.7 | I will accept my part in God's plan for | salvation. |
W1:115.2 | [99] | Salvation is my only function here. My function here is to forgive |
W1:115.3 | [100] My part is essential to God's plan for | salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the |
W1:115.3 | God's plan for salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the | salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the |
W1:115.5 | Salvation is my only function here. | |
W1:115.7 | My part is essential to God's plan for | salvation. |
W1:121.7 | your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach | salvation, you will learn. |
W1:122.5 | no more. You will not find another one instead. God's plan for your | salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Be thankful it remains |
W1:122.6 | As you give, you will receive. There is no plan but this for the | salvation of the Son of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, |
W1:122.7 | is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. Accept | salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The world can |
W1:122.7 | a mind which has received what God has given as its own. God wills | salvation be received today and that the intricacies of your dreams |
W1:122.9 | our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day | salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it |
W1:123.3 | Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in | salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your |
W1:125.4 | give to you His holy Word to spread across the world the tidings of | salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God |
W1:126.1 | of goal, and sure direction. You would understand the means by which | salvation comes to you and would not hesitate to use it now. |
W1:126.5 | for his sin. Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world's | salvation to depend on this? Would not His care for you be small |
W1:126.5 | depend on this? Would not His care for you be small indeed if your | salvation rested on a whim? |
W1:126.7 | empty gestures and evaluate such petty gifts as worthy of His Son? | Salvation is a better gift than this, and true forgiveness, as the |
W1:127.9 | Today the legion of the future years of waiting for | salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you learn. Let |
W1:128.3 | Escape today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive | salvation here. For what you value you make part of you as you |
W1:128.4 | Let nothing which relates to body thoughts delay your progress to | salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world has anything |
W1:132.2 | Yet is | salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and |
W1:132.11 | for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the | salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind of pain is |
W1:134.1 | must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest | salvation on a whim. |
W1:135.27 | you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your | salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming death and |
W1:136.10 | life, Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for the | salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. |
W1:137.1 | Today's idea remains the central thought on which | salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all the world's ideas |
W1:137.9 | Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily | salvation can be yours, how little practice you need undertake to let |
W1:138.7 | are opposites resolved, for ending opposition is to die. And thus | salvation must be seen as death, for life is seen as conflict. To |
W1:138.8 | relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be saved from | salvation, threatened to be safe, and magically armored against |
W1:140.13 | Only | salvation can be said to cure. Speak to us, Father, that we may be |
W1:140.14 | And we will feel | salvation cover us with soft protection and with peace so deep that |
W1:R4.4 | co-creator with Himself. It is this thought which fully guarantees | salvation to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those |
W1:150.2 | [140] Only | salvation can be said to cure. |
W1:151.17 | And we will hourly remember Him Who is | salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the world unites with us |
W1:152.1 | all details. Here is its whole reality for you. And it is only here | salvation is. |
W1:152.3 | Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and nothing else | |
W1:153.9 | we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of | salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry |
W1:153.11 | is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned, | salvation waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. |
W1:153.12 | Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play. It | |
W1:153.12 | of fear is gladly laid aside when children come to see the benefits | salvation brings. |
W1:153.15 | now becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which | salvation is the only goal we have. Ten would be better; 15 better |
W1:153.18 | away from Him a moment, even though your time is spent in offering | salvation to the world. Think you He will not make this possible for |
W1:153.18 | make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan for the | salvation of the world and yours? |
W1:154.4 | through the Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart | salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the |
W1:154.4 | Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey, which promises | salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God |
W1:156.6 | This is the way | salvation works. As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and |
W1:159.1 | The world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. | Salvation teaches otherwise. To give is how to recognize you have |
W1:159.7 | and welcome. No one will be turned away from this new home where his | salvation waits. No one is stranger to him. No one asks for anything |
W1:160.10 | by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and | salvation come. |
W1:161.1 | anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here is | salvation in the simple words in which we practice today's idea. Here |
W1:161.10 | is enemy to you, for you will not perceive that in his hands is your | salvation. Ask him but for this, and he will give it to you. Ask him |
W1:161.12 | Select one brother, symbol of the rest, and ask | salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can in that same |
W1:162.5 | right to perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is | salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when |
W1:163.8 | There is no death, and we renounce it now in every form for their | salvation and our own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it |
W1:164.6 | on them in a new light. And what you see becomes the healing and | salvation of the world. The valuable and valueless are both perceived |
W1:164.8 | within your mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of | salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to save the world. |
W1:164.9 | fail? Can you withhold so little when His Hand holds out complete | salvation to His Son? |
W1:165.6 | Now is all doubting past, the journey's end made certain, and | salvation given you. Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as |
W1:169.6 | where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond | salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face |
W1:169.10 | what all the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, | salvation comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not |
W1:169.10 | with God. Forgiveness is the central theme which runs throughout | salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful relationships, the |
W1:169.11 | And now we ask for grace, the final gift | salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in |
W1:170.14 | all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your | salvation as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who |
W1:183.10 | your own remembering. You can accept today the part you play in its | salvation and your own as well, and both can be accomplished |
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 the |
W1:186.5 | instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you that | salvation needs your part and that the whole depends on you, be sure |
W1:186.7 | the threat it does not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go. | Salvation of the world depends on you and not upon this little pile |
W1:186.14 | to you when formlessness has been restored to you is greater still. | Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your |
W1:187.3 | before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept | salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is done |
W1:188.4 | and the world restores the memory to you as well. From you | salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure, given and returned. |
W1:188.9 | it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to | salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it as we say: |
W1:189.2 | through the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It sees | salvation in you and protects the light in you in which it sees its |
W1:191.5 | For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his | salvation is the gift he gives to everyone in gratitude to Him Who |
W1:191.8 | cannot be in pain; I cannot lose, nor can I fail to do all that | salvation asks. |
W1:191.12 | today. Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold | salvation longer. Look about the world, and see the suffering there. |
W1:193.9 | dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which | salvation comes to all the world. |
W1:193.12 | the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your own | salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's |
W1:193.17 | look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to | salvation of the world. |
W1:194.1 | Today's idea takes another step toward quick | salvation, and a giant stride it is indeed! So great the distance is |
W1:194.2 | that locked the door to freedom on it. You are saved, and your | salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world because you have |
W1:194.6 | you extend your learning to the world. And as you learn to see | salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is saved. |
W1:196.4 | freedom. Let us take this step today that we may quickly go the way | salvation shows us, taking every step in its appointed sequence as |
W1:196.5 | escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be | salvation. Yet it merely stood for the belief the fear of God is |
W1:196.9 | of God projection hides behind. The thing you dread the most is your | salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you want. And you are |
W1:196.9 | weak and bound because you feared your strength and freedom. Yet | salvation lies in them. |
W1:196.11 | can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as well in which | salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on |
W1:197.2 | their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must become | salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home. |
W1:197.2 | you leave the prison house or claim your strength until guilt and | salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and salvation are |
W1:197.2 | until guilt and salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and | salvation are perceived as joined, with strength beside them, to be |
W1:198.5 | in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives | salvation, and accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a |
W1:199.7 | and afraid. Let love replace their fears through you. Accept | salvation now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make |
W1:R6.1 | can between them. Each of these ideas alone would be sufficient for | salvation, if it were learned truly. Each would be enough to give |
W1:206.1 | [186] | Salvation of the world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts |
W1:216.1 | I do, I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, | salvation will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am |
W1:217.1 | It can be but my gratitude I earn. Who should give thanks for my | salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the |
W1:217.1 | should give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but through | salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am not a |
W2:WS.1 | Salvation is a promise made by God that you would find your way to | |
W2:WS.3 | Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to | |
W2:WS.5 | From here we give | salvation to the world, for it is here salvation was received. The |
W2:WS.5 | From here we give salvation to the world, for it is here | salvation was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call to all |
W2:237.1 | upon the world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of | salvation that I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the |
W2:238.1 | You created me and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's | salvation in my hands and let it rest on my decision. I must be |
W2:241.1 | day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of | salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope |
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:WIC.2 | perceive. For though in Him His Father placed the means for your | salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no |
W2:282.1 | If I could realize but this today, | salvation would be reached for all the world. This the decision not |
W2:297.1 | would make it mine to be the way I live within a world that needs | salvation and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself. |
W2:297.2 | sure their final outcome, and how truly faithful is every step in my | salvation set already and accomplished by Your grace. Thanks be to |
W2:304.2 | to the light, from sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive | salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to |
W2:308.2 | is the time You have appointed for Your Son's release and for | salvation of the world in him. |
W2:310.2 | joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who gave | salvation to us, and Who set us free. We are restored to peace and |
W2:WILJ.4 | of pain the Son whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. | Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad |
W2:317.1 | I have a special place to fill—a role for me alone. | Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until |
W2:317.1 | the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize | salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already |
W2:319.2 | the goal that stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the | salvation of the world could You have given me? And what but this |
W2:321.2 | way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's | salvation when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone. |
W2:323.1 | make, the only “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me for the | salvation of the world. |
W2:324.1 | Father, You are the One Who gave the plan for my | salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the role to take, |
W2:327.1 | I am not asked to take | salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised |
W2:328.1 | our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which | salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and |
W2:WIE.4 | its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its | salvation, and the cost belief in it entails. In suffering, the price |
W2:338.1 | It needs but this to let | salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is |
W2:338.2 | I learn that You have given me the only Thought which leads me to | salvation. Mine alone will fail and lead me nowhere. But the Thought |
W2:343.2 | The mercy and the peace of God are free. | Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given and |
W2:WAI.3 | We are the bringers of | salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through |
W2:FL.3 | our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of | salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the |
W2:FL.4 | the way, the truth, and life that show the way to us. In him resides | salvation, offered us through our forgiveness given unto him. |
M:I.5 | Except for God's teachers, there would be no hope of | salvation, for the world of sin would seem forever “real.” The |
M:I.5 | are they chosen? What do they do? How can they work out their own | salvation and the salvation of the world? This manual attempts to |
M:I.5 | What do they do? How can they work out their own salvation and the | salvation of the world? This manual attempts to answer these |
M:1.1 | even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of | salvation. He has become a teacher of God. |
M:1.3 | is always, “God's Son is guiltless, and in his innocence is his | salvation.” It can be taught by actions or thoughts, in words or |
M:1.3 | He has seen someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own | salvation and the salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the world |
M:1.3 | else as himself. He has therefore found his own salvation and the | salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the world reborn. |
M:2.2 | In order to understand the teaching-learning plan of | salvation, it is necessary to grasp the concept of time which the |
M:3.1 | to be made for each teacher of God. There are no accidents in | salvation. Those who are to meet will meet, because together they |
M:3.2 | interests, if only for a moment. That moment will be enough. | Salvation has come. |
M:3.3 | and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His Will. | Salvation is always ready and always there. God's teachers work at |
M:4.15 | the strength of gentleness, for it is in this that the function of | salvation becomes easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. |
M:4.16 | as great as theirs of Him. How joyous it is to share the purpose of | salvation! |
M:4.25 | to the world. Blessed indeed are they, for they are the bringers of | salvation. |
M:5.9 | is true. As God's messengers, His teachers are the symbols of | salvation. They ask the patient for forgiveness for God's Son in his |
M:9.2 | for the relinquishment of judgment as the necessary condition of | salvation. |
M:11.2 | that it is pointless to try to reconcile them. God offers the world | salvation; your judgment would condemn it. God says there is no |
M:14.3 | behind. One sin perfectly forgiven by one teacher of God can make | salvation complete. Can you understand this? No; it is meaningless to |
M:15.1 | Final Judgment on him is received. This is the judgment in which | salvation lies. This is the judgment that will set him free. This is |
M:17.7 | of God Himself. And now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is | salvation now. An angry Father pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be |
M:18.1 | Reality is changeless. Magic thoughts are but illusions. Otherwise | salvation would be only the same age-old impossible dream in but |
M:18.1 | same age-old impossible dream in but another form. Yet the dream of | salvation has new content. It is not the form alone in which the |
M:19.1 | aside. If God's Son were fairly judged, there would be no need for | salvation. The thought of separation would have been forever |
M:19.4 | Salvation is God's justice. It restores to your awareness the | |

Tx:1.57 | the Spiritual eye identifies error as false or unreal. This is the | same as saying that by perceiving light, darkness automatically |
Tx:1.64 | Since you and your neighbor are equal members of the | same family, as you perceive both, so you will behave toward both. |
Tx:1.65 | should be replaced by love, because love and its absence are in the | same dimension, and correction cannot be undertaken except within a |
Tx:2.5 | Himself to the Souls He created, and He also imbued them with the | same loving will to create. The Soul has not only been fully created |
Tx:2.12 | one continuous line of creation in which all aspects are of the | same order. |
Tx:2.19 | all error into the light, and since error and darkness are the | same, it corrects error automatically. True denial is a powerful |
Tx:2.42 | You still think this is associated with loss. This is the | same mistake all the separated ones make in one way or another. They |
Tx:2.43 | but reinterpreted, even though you may experience it as the | same thing. In the reinterpretation of defenses, only their use for |
Tx:2.75 | matter, but the fundamental error does. The correction is always the | same. Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in |

Tx:3.26 | until it is total. When it is partial, it is characterized by the | same erratic nature that holds for other two-edged defenses. |
Tx:3.28 | many times that only what God creates, or what man creates with the | same will, has any real existence. This, then, is all the innocent |
Tx:3.33 | is closed because it believes the future and present will be the | same. This establishes an unchanged state or stasis. It is usually an |
Tx:3.35 | is timeless because it is certain. To perceive the truth is not the | same as knowing it. |
Tx:3.42 | Intrapersonal conflict arises from the | same basis as interpersonal conflict. One part of the psyche |
Tx:3.54 | attempt to regard himself as both separated and unseparated at the | same time. It is impossible to undertake a confusion as fundamental |
Tx:4.7 | Teacher and pupil are alike in the learning process. They are in the | same order of learning, and unless they share their lessons, they |
Tx:4.8 | This profound confusion is possible only if one maintains that the | same thought system can stand on two foundations. Nothing can reach |
Tx:4.28 | harm themselves if you do not. The speed-up has placed you in the | same position. |

Tx:4.46 | equated with the pull of human appetites. By perceiving them as the | same, the ego attempts to save itself from being swept away, as it |
Tx:4.79 | aggression and the resulting behavior, which is perceived as the | same for both, serves as an example. This is “understandable” to the |
Tx:4.82 | phrase since “all” and “a little” in this context are the | same, the ego decides that, since “all” is impossible, the fear does |
Tx:4.85 | to each other is something you must never forget. It is exactly the | same debt that you owe to me. Whenever you react egotistically |
Tx:4.94 | it splits, so only part of it is concrete. The concrete part is the | same part that believes in the ego because the ego depends on the |
Tx:4.96 | which it perceives as related. In contrast the Soul reacts in the | same way to everything it knows is true and does not respond at all |
Tx:5.1 | yourselves and how many you have refused. This is exactly the | same as telling you that you have refused to heal yourselves. The |
Tx:5.2 | joyous themselves call forth different kinds of responses at the | same time and thus deprive others of the joy of responding |
Tx:5.2 | is the wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is therefore the | same as to integrate and to make one. That is why it makes no |
Tx:5.11 | as a protection, inspiring the beginning of the Atonement at the | same time. Before that, there was no need for healing and no one was |
Tx:5.19 | The Atonement and the separation began at the | same time. When man made the ego, God placed in him the call to joy. |
Tx:5.23 | Freedom to choose is the | same power as freedom to create, but its application is different. |
Tx:5.27 | in Heaven and earth. My only gift to you is to help you make the | same decision for yourself. The will for this decision is the will to |
Tx:5.30 | have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the | same mind to do this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose will is for |

Tx:5.56 | they occur at different levels and include opposite thoughts at the | same level. It is impossible to share opposing thoughts. The Holy |
Tx:5.73 | is that the two voices speak for different interpretations of the | same thing simultaneously, or almost simultaneously, for the ego |
Tx:5.89 | it. The reason for this amount of detail is because you are in the | same position. You were eternally fixated on God in your creation, |
Tx:6.19 | was intended. The Apostles often misunderstood it and always for the | same reason that makes anyone misunderstand anything. Their own |
Tx:6.31 | parallel lines as if they meet in the distance, which is the | same as in the future if time and space are one dimension. Your |
Tx:6.37 | in this perception, because what the Holy Spirit perceives is the | same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He |
Tx:6.39 | many words as synonymous which are not ordinarily regarded as the | same. We began with having and being and more recently have used |
Tx:6.48 | cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the | same mind that made it is against it. It interprets this as a |
Tx:6.61 | dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. If we share the | same mind, you can overcome death because I did. Death is an attempt |
Tx:6.94 | me as much as of you, but remember that those who will to teach the | same thing must be in agreement about what they believe. |
Tx:7.16 | differences do not matter. The meaning of His message is always the | same, and only the meaning matters. God's law of Creation in perfect |
Tx:7.29 | a choice? It seems to be, but seeming and reality are hardly the | same. You who are the Kingdom are not concerned with seeming. Reality |
Tx:7.33 | is of God according to His laws. Both, therefore, come from the | same Source, [because] inspiration comes from the Voice for God, and |
Tx:7.77 | teach another. One Teacher is in all your minds, and He teaches the | same lesson to all. He always teaches you the inestimable worth of |
Tx:7.98 | at their logical outcome. Is it not possible that you have done the | same thing with the premises of God? |
Tx:8.12 | Spirit teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is the | same as saying that He teaches you the difference between |
Tx:8.12 | yourself that imprisonment is freedom. Believing them to be the | same, how can you tell them apart? Can you ask the part of your mind |
Tx:8.12 | ask the part of your mind that taught you to believe they are the | same to teach you the difference between them? |
Tx:8.26 | It is therefore an illusion of isolation, maintained by fear of the | same loneliness which is its illusion. I have told you that I am with |
Tx:8.64 | attack is to separate. How can you do both simultaneously with the | same thing and not suffer? Perception of the body can be unified only |
Tx:8.76 | catastrophic outcomes. The Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the | same data, does not bother to analyze them at all. If the data are |
Tx:8.95 | do not communicate because they speak for different things to the | same mind. This loses the ability to communicate simply because |
Tx:8.96 | is the only safety. Your will is your salvation because it is the | same as God's. The separation is nothing more than the belief that it |
Tx:8.108 | for physical healing because he is fearful of bodily harm. At the | same time, however, if he were healed physically, the threat to his |
Tx:9.17 | insane. You know it because I know it, and you have judged it by the | same standard as I have. The ego literally lives on borrowed time, |
Tx:9.36 | they cannot be separated. When you have learned that they are the | same, the need for time is over. |
Tx:9.53 | in your awareness since both are untrue and are therefore on the | same level. Being the level of shift, it is experienced as shifting, |
Tx:9.77 | Creator with him? To believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the | same idol he does. God created love, not idolatry. All forms of |
Tx:9.91 | can shine into another, because all the lamps of God were lit by the | same spark. It is everywhere, and it is eternal. |
Tx:10.11 | from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must be the | same. |
Tx:10.34 | within. It is difficult at first to realize that this is exactly the | same thing, for there is no distinction between within and without. |
Tx:10.60 | prison and ascend to the Father? For these questions are all the | same and are answered together. There has been much confusion about |
Tx:10.60 | has been much confusion about what perception means because the | same word is used both for awareness and for the interpretation of |
Tx:11.25 | that your salvation lies in not doing it. You, then, are making the | same mistake that he is and are making his error real to both of you. |
Tx:11.34 | have placed its source, and where it began it must end. For in this | same place also lies salvation. The altar of God where Christ abideth |
Tx:11.40 | His mission, He will teach you yours, for your mission is the | same as His. By guiding your brothers home, you are but following Him. |
Tx:11.49 | and do not find.” Translated into curricular terms, this is the | same as saying, “Try to learn but do not succeed.” The result of this |
Tx:11.66 | for that is not what it is seeking. Yet seeking and finding are the | same, and if you seek for two goals you will find them, but you will |
Tx:11.66 | but you will recognize neither. For you will think they are the | same because you want them both. The mind always strives for |
Tx:11.71 | it is because you saw something that is not there. Yet in that | same place, you could have looked upon me and all your brothers in |
Tx:12.50 | is real. It extends to all aspects of consciousness at the | same time and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is |
Tx:12.60 | the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet their power is not the | same because their real attraction to you is unequal. |
Tx:13.5 | whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the | same, perceived in the same light and therefore one. Everyone seen |
Tx:13.5 | this until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the | same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus |
Tx:13.6 | They are all the | same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He will offer |
Tx:13.15 | form, in anyone, believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the | same, and the belief in one is faith in the other, calling for |
Tx:13.64 | and the interference in your motivation for learning is exactly the | same as that which interferes with all your thinking. The happy |
Tx:14.6 | the Atonement, but the message given to each to share is always the | same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message |
Tx:14.28 | is instantly apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the | same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in |
Tx:14.44 | who look upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the | same. All bring their different problems to its healing light, but |
Tx:14.45 | The response of holiness to any form of error is always the | same. There is no contradiction in what holiness calls forth. Its one |
Tx:14.51 | The miracle offers exactly the | same response to every call for help. It does not judge the call. It |
Tx:15.7 | underneath its fanatical insistence that the past and future be the | same is hidden a far more insidious threat to peace. The ego does not |
Tx:15.52 | Without the values from the past, you would see them all the | same and like yourself. Nor would you see any separation between |
Tx:15.95 | for you made but one mistake. It seems like many, but it is all the | same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the same |
Tx:15.95 | all the same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the | same idea. What is not love is always fear and nothing else. It is |
Tx:15.95 | regard them not as separate but as different manifestations of the | same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is |
Tx:15.112 | the Great Awakening. Make this year different by making it all the | same. And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is |
Tx:16.45 | is true. In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is the | same as union. Here, where the illusion of love is accepted in love's |
Tx:16.56 | do this to the extent to which you want them to be true. And to the | same extent you are denying truth, and so are making yourself unable |
Tx:17.6 | through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this | same attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and |
Tx:17.25 | and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the | same. For you can never choose except between God and the ego. |
Tx:17.55 | gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this | same discrepancy between the purpose that has been accepted and the |
Tx:17.64 | you did not believe that the situation and the problem were in the | same place. The problem was the lack of faith, and it is this you |
Tx:17.72 | Your faith will call the others to share your purpose, as this | same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you will see the |
Tx:17.74 | given it is also given to every situation. It calls forth just the | same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and left unused, that |
Tx:18.2 | they are one. Being united, they are one because they are the | same. Substitution is clearly a process in which they are perceived |
Tx:18.7 | and nothing else. Yet what else is necessary to make them all the | same? |
Tx:18.19 | with you. And what you seem to wake to is but another form of this | same world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. |
Tx:18.19 | dreams have different forms, and that is all. Their content is the | same. They are your protest against reality and your fixed and insane |
Tx:18.23 | natural. For as your sleeping and your waking dreams represent the | same wishes in your mind, so do the real world and the truth of |
Tx:18.64 | Afterwards, you will see the body again, but never quite the | same. And every instant that you spend without awareness of it gives |
Tx:19.6 | Both cannot be together nor perceived in the | same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal forever |
Tx:19.13 | then, offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the | same altar where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by |
Tx:19.44 | There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they are all the | same. Each is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the |
Tx:19.49 | other looks upon does not exist. Fear looks on guilt with just the | same devotion that love looks on itself. And each has messengers |
Tx:19.71 | the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the | same as pain. |
Tx:19.73 | and both also recognize that here the sender and receiver are the | same. The Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for |
Tx:19.94 | Every obstacle that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the | same way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so |
Tx:19.106 | you. And be you free together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this | same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in return for what you |
Tx:19.106 | me together that we might meet here in this holy place and make the | same decision. |
Tx:20.32 | of separation, each is appointed separately, though they are all the | same. Yet those who know that they are all the same need not |
Tx:20.32 | they are all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the | same need not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is |
Tx:20.41 | of eternity that runs through time like golden light is all the | same—nothing before it, nothing afterwards. |
Tx:20.58 | said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the | same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple and direct, this |
Tx:20.74 | each different and with different values. Yet they are all the | same. Again there is no order but a seeming hierarchy of values. |
Tx:21.12 | And now the blind can see, for that | same song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as |
Tx:21.13 | repeated how little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the | same small willingness you need to have your whole relationship |
Tx:21.25 | your own Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the | same desire. The Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so |
Tx:21.26 | as that you recognize that you did not create yourself. They are the | same mistake. Nothing created not by your Creator has any influence |
Tx:21.28 | independence of its source that kept you prisoner. This is the | same delusion that you are independent of the Source by which you |
Tx:21.53 | been there since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the | same instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet |
Tx:21.54 | answer be but in the Source? And where are you but there, where this | same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this same |
Tx:21.54 | this same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this | same Source as is the answer, must therefore be together and the same. |
Tx:21.54 | same Source as is the answer, must therefore be together and the | same. |
Tx:21.59 | you deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this | same belief, you both will think that you are damned. This you could |
Tx:21.61 | by accepting reason where madness was. Madness and reason see the | same things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently. |
Tx:21.65 | The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that | same instant is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours. |
Tx:21.76 | and unlike the others. Yet reason would assure you they are all the | same. We said this year would emphasize the sameness of things that |
Tx:21.76 | said this year would emphasize the sameness of things that are the | same. This final question, which is indeed the last you need decide, |
Tx:21.81 | the final question so important? Reason will tell you why. It is the | same as are the other three except in time. The others are decisions |
Tx:21.81 | can desire to exchange your helplessness for power, and lose this | same desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want |
Tx:21.82 | In content, all the questions are the | same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the world of |
Tx:21.87 | is in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is the | same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be |
Tx:22.1 | No two can look on sin together, for they could never see it in the | same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in |
Tx:22.1 | error, and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the | same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the same way. |
Tx:22.1 | the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the same, made by the | same, and forgiven for its maker in the same way. |
Tx:22.1 | it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the | same way. |
Tx:22.2 | bodies perhaps under a common roof that shelters neither—in the | same room and yet a world apart. |
Tx:22.15 | Christ comes to what is like Himself; the | same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as |
Tx:22.16 | alternatives and different from each other. In truth they are the | same. Both bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems to |
Tx:22.16 | from each other. In truth they are the same. Both bring the | same amount of misery, though each one seems to be the way to lose |
Tx:22.19 | from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. Truth is the | same and misery the same, but they are different from each other in |
Tx:22.19 | recognize it and go the other way. Truth is the same and misery the | same, but they are different from each other in every way, in every |
Tx:22.19 | To believe that one exception can exist is to confuse what is the | same with what is different. One illusion cherished and defended |
Tx:22.20 | and the ego will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the | same. The ego will assure you now that it is impossible for you to |
Tx:22.22 | Forsake not now each other. For you who are the | same will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each |
Tx:22.24 | that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is the | same belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea |
Tx:22.24 | but its enemies. And here we see again another form of the | same fundamental illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it |
Tx:22.55 | all confusion, observing merely, “This was a mistake.” And then the | same Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the error |
Tx:22.64 | thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the | same. Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of love extends |
Tx:22.65 | denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the | same and teach you which is true. |
Tx:23.9 | you share with it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the | same, and they are nothing. Their joining lies in nothingness; two |
Tx:23.21 | to overcome than others. If it were realized that they are all the | same and equally untrue, it would be easy, then, to understand that |
Tx:23.43 | little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little of the | same can still be different, and yet the same remain intact as one. |
Tx:23.43 | would teach a little of the same can still be different, and yet the | same remain intact as one. Does this make sense? Can it be understood? |
Tx:23.47 | Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the | same cannot conflict. You are not asked to fight against your wish to |
Tx:23.47 | murder. But you are asked to realize the form it takes conceals the | same intent. And it is this you fear and not the form. What is not |
Tx:23.48 | are incompatible. Yet if they both are true, then must they be the | same and indistinguishable from one another. So will they be to those |
Tx:23.49 | the function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the | same can have no different function. Creation is the means for God's |
Tx:23.54 | It is their past, their present, and their future always the | same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They know it is |
Tx:24.5 | the special could have enemies, for they are different and not the | same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of reality and a need |
Tx:24.8 | him if you realized you journey with him to a goal that is the | same? Would you not help him reach it in every way you could if his |
Tx:24.10 | it teaches you you are alike. You have no purpose that is not the | same and none your Father does not share with you. For your |
Tx:24.11 | be peace among the different. He is your friend because you are the | same. |
Tx:24.18 | him and in yourself. But be you certain that the truth is just the | same in both. It gives no different messages and has one meaning. And |
Tx:24.20 | enemies and bound in hate to kill each other and deny they are the | same. Yet it is not illusions which have reached this final obstacle |
Tx:24.22 | gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is the | same as God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the |
Tx:24.29 | oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the | same while specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between |
Tx:24.30 | rise between what He wills for you and what you will. They are the | same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the |
Tx:24.46 | for He knows that love is in you now and safely held in you by that | same hand that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds |
Tx:25.11 | What is the | same can not be different, and what is one can not have separate |
Tx:25.22 | You are the | same, as God Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must |
Tx:25.22 | in His Will. And you must have one purpose, since He gave the | same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you join in will |

Tx:25.65 | the world knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the | same, for sinners see justice only as their punishment, perhaps |
Tx:25.66 | still can ask and learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the | same way. It is not just that one should lack for what another has. |
Tx:25.72 | due. For love and justice are not different. Because they are the | same does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the Son of God the |

Tx:25.87 | that giving and receiving are the same. Because it does not make the | same unlike, it sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is |

Tx:26.22 | not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the | same and what is different, leaving room to make the only choice |
Tx:26.23 | and over-complicated world. For no one understands what is the | same and seems to choose where no choice really is. The real world is |
Tx:26.30 | indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the | same. Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only |
Tx:26.44 | that the truth alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the | same and still maintain that even one is best? |

Tx:27.7 | yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the message is the | same. Adornment of the body seeks to show how lovely are the |
Tx:27.22 | to forgive and never to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the | same, and therefore is correction not of you. Identity and function |
Tx:27.22 | therefore is correction not of you. Identity and function are the | same, and by your function do you know yourself. And thus, if you |
Tx:27.24 | is the function given it by you. When you perceive correction is the | same as pardon, then you also know the Holy Spirit's mind and yours |
Tx:27.25 | own be seen as one. Yours are mistakes, but his are sins and not the | same as yours. His merit punishment, while yours in fairness should |
Tx:27.28 | must be left to One Who knows correction and forgiveness are the | same. With half a mind, this is not understood. Leave then correction |
Tx:27.34 | is but half the picture and is incomplete, within itself it is the | same. The other half of what it represents remains unknown but is not |
Tx:27.38 | in itself. A double question asks and answers, both attesting the | same thing in different form. |
Tx:27.39 | world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the | same. It asks but to establish sin is real and answers in the form of |
Tx:27.50 | generalizes to include them all. This is because they really are the | same despite their different forms. All learning aims at transfer, |
Tx:27.51 | does not jump from situations to their opposites and bring the | same results. All healing must proceed in lawful manner in accord |
Tx:27.54 | it away from Him and focusing upon itself. Its purpose is the | same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the body real. What |
Tx:27.54 | are means to make the body real. What shares a common purpose is the | same. This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who share in |
Tx:27.55 | from pain to pleasure and again to pain. For either witness is the | same and carries but one message: “You are here within this body, and |
Tx:28.16 | circle of creation has no end. Its starting and its ending are the | same. But in itself it holds the universe of all creation, without |

Tx:28.42 | you are confused, for in the gap no stable self exists. What is the | same seems different because what is the same appears to be unlike. |
Tx:28.42 | self exists. What is the same seems different because what is the | same appears to be unlike. His dreams are yours because you let them |

Tx:29.52 | object owned or wanted, or a right demanded or achieved, it is the | same. |
Tx:29.60 | there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did He also give the | same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living thing a |
Tx:30.44 | as it was before the time when you forgot and will be just the | same when you remember. And it is the same within the interval when |
Tx:30.44 | forgot and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the | same within the interval when you forgot. |

Tx:30.88 | And through His use of symbols are we joined so that they mean the | same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all our |

Tx:31.23 | a safer place for him to be. Can you make progress if you think the | same, advancing only when he would step back and falling back when he |
Tx:31.24 | enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his purpose is the | same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs the same as you. |
Tx:31.24 | is the same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs the | same as you. It takes perhaps a different form in him, but it is not |

W1:70.5 | Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the | same in this. |
W1:73.1 | Today we are considering the will you share with God. This is not the | same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness |
W1:79.2 | world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the | same and must be recognized as one if the one solution which solves |

W1:83.5 | Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the | same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy if I |
W1:99.1 | Salvation and forgiveness are the | same. They both imply that something has gone wrong—something you |
W1:99.13 | Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and forgiveness are the | same. |
W1:99.15 | the one you think you made. Forgiveness and salvation are the | same. Forgive what you have made, and you are saved. |

W1:108.2 | all. And thus what is the same is seen as one, while what is not the | same remains unnoticed, for it is not there. |
W1:108.4 | all opposites are reconciled because they are perceived from the | same frame of reference which unifies this thought. |
W1:108.5 | completely unified, will serve to unify all thought. This is the | same as saying one correction will suffice for all correction or that |
W1:108.6 | To learn that giving and receiving are the | same has special usefulness because it can be tried so easily and |

W1:121.9 | unforgiving mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the | same. Yet we will try to learn today that they are one through |

W1:126.8 | Today we try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the | same. You will need help to make this meaningful because it is so |
W1:127.3 | between the Father and the Son which holds them both forever as the | same. |
W1:136.1 | healing is automatic. It dispels this meaningless illusion by the | same approach that carries all of them to truth and merely leaves |
W1:138.2 | of the truth that makes the choice of Heaven seem to be the | same as the relinquishment of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what |
W1:140.11 | be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one. They are the | same. We have no need to make them different and thus delay the time |
W1:152.15 | Him with the words with which the day began, concluding it with this | same invitation to your Self. God's Voice will answer, for He speaks |
W1:155.14 | how limitless His Love. In your name and His own, which are the | same, we practice gladly with this thought today: |
W1:157.6 | eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the | same experience in which the world is quietly forgot and Heaven is |
W1:157.8 | The time will come when you will not return in the | same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. |
W1:161.12 | ask salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can in that | same form to which you are accustomed. See his face, his hands and |
W1:R5.14 | time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these | same words upon our lips to greet another day. No thought that we |

W1:185.3 | each the hero of the dream is different—the outcome wanted not the | same for both. Loser and gainer merely shift about in changing |
W1:185.5 | learned their only difference is one of form, for one will bring the | same despair and misery as do the rest. |
W1:193.5 | kindness to the Son He loves. Each lesson has a central thought, the | same in all of them. The form alone is changed, with different |
W1:193.5 | characters and different themes apparent but not real. They are the | same in fundamental content. It is this: |
W1:200.7 | 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 world? It cannot |
W2:225.1 | I must return Your love for me. For giving and receiving are the | same, and You have given all Your love to me. I must return it, for I |
W2:265.2 | Your thoughts and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the | same, and I will see creation's gentleness. |
W2:291.1 | His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace and offers this | same vision to the world. And I accept this vision in its name, both |

M:2.5 | that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in another person the | same interests as his own. |
M:3.1 | at the beginning, although the ultimate goal is always the | same—to make of the relationship a holy relationship in which both |

M:24.6 | The emphasis of this course always remains the | same—it is at this moment that complete salvation is offered you, |

Tx:11.74 | death. It will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not | satisfied until you die. For your destruction is the one end toward |
Tx:11.74 | end toward which it works, and the only end with which it will be | satisfied. |

Tx:25.74 | if he will be that one, so justice may return to love and there be | satisfied. Each special function He allots is but for this—that |

Tx:4.76 | attempts to relate the concept to the unimportant in an effort to | satisfy the mind without jeopardizing itself. Thus, it has permitted |
Tx:12.3 | that nothing short of the crucifixion of God's Son can ultimately | satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of God is because it is |
Tx:12.18 | yours. For grandeur is the right of God's Son, and no illusions can | satisfy him or save him from what he is. Only his love is real, and |
Tx:15.23 | And whatever you offer as a substitute is much too poor a gift to | satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the fact, and accept it |

Tx:24.33 | done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to join His Will to | save you both from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his hands |
Tx:24.46 | His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He offers you that you may | save all living things from death, receiving from each one the gift |
Tx:24.57 | the past. He who condemned himself, and you as well, is given you to | save from condemnation along with you. And both shall see God's glory |
Tx:24.58 | love of God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to | save from pain and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your |
Tx:24.62 | No effort is too great, no cost too much, no price too dear to | save his specialness from the least slight, the tiniest attack, the |
Tx:24.65 | a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you think you | save, you hurt. What would you save it for? For in that choice lie |
Tx:24.65 | temporarily. And much you think you save, you hurt. What would you | save it for? For in that choice lie both its health and harm. Save it |
Tx:24.65 | you save it for? For in that choice lie both its health and harm. | Save it for show, as bait to catch another fish, to house your |
Tx:25.40 | useless to both. Together, it will give to each an equal strength to | save the other and save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your |
Tx:25.40 | it will give to each an equal strength to save the other and | save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior offers you |
Tx:25.42 | cherish toward himself is God believed to be without the power to | save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows |
Tx:25.48 | to let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a means to | save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this world |
Tx:25.49 | attack. In light, you see it as your special function in the plan to | save the Son of God from all attack and let him understand that he is |
Tx:25.71 | For love has lost when judgment left its side and is too weak to | save from punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in |
Tx:25.71 | and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and | save, while love stands feebly by with helpless hands, bereft of |
Tx:25.71 | with helpless hands, bereft of justice and vitality and powerless to | save? What can Love ask of you who think that all of this is true? |
Tx:26.64 | is answered in the name of love. To you to whom it has been given to | save the Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and death, all |
Tx:26.64 | and from hell and death, all glory be forever. For you have power to | save the Son of God because his Father willed that it be so. And in |
Tx:26.66 | in bringing blessing to the world of sin and death. For what can | save each one of us can save us all. There is no difference among the |
Tx:26.66 | to the world of sin and death. For what can save each one of us can | save us all. There is no difference among the Sons of God. The unity |
Tx:26.66 | among the Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies will | save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And |
Tx:29.20 | he is a savior first, before he can remember what he is. And he must | save who would be saved. On saving you depends his happiness. For who |
Tx:29.24 | light in him is brighter still because you gave your light to him to | save him from the dark. And now the light in you must be as bright as |
Tx:29.50 | succeed in making real the pictures it projects outside itself? | Save time, my brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of |
Tx:29.63 | All figures in the dream are idols made to | save you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they have been |
Tx:29.63 | you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they have been made to | save you from. Thus does an idol keep the dream alive and terrible, |
Tx:29.64 | in the dream as you are dreaming it. For idols must be part of it to | save you from what you believe you have accomplished and have done to |
Tx:29.65 | toys instead. And their reality becomes his own because they seem to | save him from his thoughts. Yet do they keep his thoughts alive and |
Tx:29.69 | and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it will | save you lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so |
Tx:29.70 | is remembering what he forgot when judgment seemed to be the way to | save him from its penalty. |
Tx:31.15 | the two. And every friend or enemy becomes a means to help you | save yourself from this. |
Tx:31.77 | is but partly saved. The holy ones whom God has given each of you to | save are everyone you meet or look upon, not knowing who they are, |
Tx:31.77 | unremembered and the not yet born. For God has given you His Son to | save from every concept that he ever held. |
W1:26.1 | must also have effects on you. It is this law that will ultimately | save you. But you are misusing it now. You must therefore learn how |
W1:38.2 | in its power to help anyone because it is equal in its power to | save anyone. If you are holy, so is everything God created. You are |
W1:39.7 | you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that will | save you and give you vision. |
W1:55.3 | thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will | save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace God |
W1:58.4 | in its power to heal because it is unlimited in its power to | save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are |
W1:60.5 | a moment in which God's Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to | save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my |
W1:61.3 | to be saved and an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to | save others. |
W1:64.12 | This is the world it is my function to | save. |
W1:70.2 | today's idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can | save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also |
W1:71.7 | because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will | save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. His is |
W1:72.7 | angry animals seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to | save you. God made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this and be |
W1:75.1 | and you can heal. The light has come. You are saved, and you can | save. You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go. |
W1:76.3 | bound by all the strange and twisted laws which you have set up to | save you. You really think that you would starve unless you have |
W1:76.5 | attacks itself and wants to die. It is from this your “laws” would | save the body. It is for this you think you are a body. |
W1:76.6 | to His Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to | save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide will save you. |
W1:76.6 | is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide will | save you. |
W1:76.9 | is yours. Many “religions” have been based on this. They would not | save, but damn in Heaven's name. Yet they are no more strange than |
W1:78.12 | not our own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one we meet to | save us and refuse to hide his light behind our grievances. To |
W1:86.4 | God's plan for salvation will | save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in God's |
W1:88.5 | effect on me at all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws | save God's. And His are the laws of freedom. |
W1:96.16 | Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences it will | save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time |
W1:97.9 | all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to | save the world. |
W1:99.6 | the only Source it knows. This is the thought whose function is to | save by giving you its function as your own. |
W1:100.3 | you are sad, the light which God Himself appointed as the means to | save the world is dim and lusterless. And no one laughs, because all |
W1:110.1 | idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to | save you and the world if you believed that it is true. Its truth |
W1:110.8 | to the world—the savior who has been forever saved, with power to | save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking for the Word that |
W1:115.3 | for the salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might | save the world. |
W1:123.5 | Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not | save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however |
W1:123.7 | will be returned to you in terms of years for every second, power to | save the world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him. |
W1:124.7 | these words we say as well that we are saved and healed, that we can | save and heal accordingly. We have accepted and we now would give, |
W1:125.2 | This world will change through you. No other means can | save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to |
W1:125.2 | save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to | save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his |
W1:132.1 | What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can | save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The |
W1:134.12 | He does not have to fight to | save himself. He does not have to kill the dragons which he thought |
W1:134.17 | one of them, but realize that you are using his “offenses” but to | save the world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil |
W1:135.1 | was attacked, that the attack is real, and that his own defense can | save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense—it gives |
W1:135.14 | Enslavement of the body to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to | save itself must make the body sick. It is not free to be a means of |
W1:153.7 | have denied the Christ and come to fear His Father's anger. What can | save you now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image |
W1:153.8 | will not play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to | save the world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless |
W1:162.1 | This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would | save the world. From time to time we will repeat it, as we reach |
W1:162.3 | he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He will | save the world because he gives the world what he receives each time |
W1:164.8 | you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to | save the world. |
W1:170.2 | is fear protected, not escaped. Today we learn a lesson which can | save you more delay and needless misery than you can possibly |
W1:R5.11 | world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I | save the world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To |
W1:186.1 | as well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to | save the world, restoring it to Heaven's peace. |
W1:187.3 | Ideas must first belong to you before you give them. If you are to | save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will |
W1:191.10 | the world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to | save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. |
W1:196.2 | the ego, under what it sees as threat, is quick to cite the truth to | save its lies. Yet must it fail to understand the truth it uses thus. |
W1:196.11 | comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to | save you from illusions in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself |
W1:198.3 | and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All illusions | save this one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where |
W1:198.6 | His words will work. His words will | save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that ever |
W1:200.1 | will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and | save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak |
W2:WIW.5 | complete. And let us not attempt to change our function. We must | save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of |
W2:245.1 | them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would | save Your Son as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self. |
W2:264.2 | today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will | save the world along with us? |
W2:267.1 | the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to | save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each |
W2:303.2 | Your Son is welcome, Father. He has come to | save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self that You have given |
W2:305.2 | but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us to | save us from our judgment on ourselves. |
W2:313.2 | How holy and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We | save the world when we are joined. For in our vision it becomes as |
W2:318.1 | In me, God's holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to | save the world. What could conflict when all the parts have but one |
W2:333.2 | No light but this can end our evil dreams. No light but this can | save the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being |
W2:342.1 | I thank You, Father, for Your plan to | save me from the hell I made. It is not real. And You have given me |
W2:344.1 | not my own. I have not understood what giving means and thought to | save what I desired for myself alone. And as I looked upon the |
M:1.2 | that the plan of the teachers was established. Their function is to | save time. Each one begins as a single light, but with the Call at |
M:1.4 | thousands of other forms, all with the same outcome. They merely | save time. Yet it is time alone that winds on wearily, and the world |
M:13.8 | Word to you, for He has need of teachers. What other way is there to | save His Son? |
M:16.3 | safely say that time devoted to starting the day right does indeed | save time. How much time should be so spent? This must depend on the |
M:16.6 | a place of safety for yourself. You think you made a power that can | save you from all the fearful things you see in dreams. It is not so. |

Tx:8.43 | not from yourselves, but from your illusions of yourselves. He has | saved you for yourselves. Let us glorify Him whom the world denies, |
Tx:10.31 | but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. You are not | saved from anything, but you are saved for glory. Glory is your |
Tx:10.31 | what salvation is. You are not saved from anything, but you are | saved for glory. Glory is your inheritance, given your Soul by its |
Tx:10.68 | God's Son is | saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you will have a |
Tx:10.73 | His Will to be 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 |
Tx:10.75 | perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the Holy Spirit has | saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him interpret it for |

Tx:11.25 | two-fold—first, what is to be saved, and second, how can it be | saved? |
Tx:11.26 | for whatever reason, you are believing that the ego is to be | saved and to be saved by attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with |
Tx:11.26 | reason, you are believing that the ego is to be saved and to be | saved by attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with this belief, |
Tx:11.28 | and it is attained through peace. This is the only thing that can be | saved and the only way to save it. Any response other than love |
Tx:11.99 | yourself, for without guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are | saved because God's Son is guiltless. And being wholly pure, you are |
Tx:13.26 | you and show them to you fearfully to demonstrate what He has | saved you from. What He has saved you from is gone. Give no reality |
Tx:13.26 | you fearfully to demonstrate what He has saved you from. What He has | saved you from is gone. Give no reality to guilt, and see no reason |
Tx:13.77 | that you would define what salvation is and what you would be | saved from. The Holy Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from |
Tx:14.32 | of the Holy Spirit and there undone. Whom He would save for glory is | saved for it. He has promised the Father that through Him you would |
Tx:17.50 | egos. For your relationship has not been disrupted. It has been | saved. |
Tx:18.68 | own way, at his own time. We do not need this time. Time has been | saved for you because you are together. This is the special means |
Tx:20.14 | cold chill of fear and withering blight of sin alike. Your gift has | saved him from the thorns and nails, and his strong arm is free to |

Tx:22.46 | to insanity to save you from the truth? And what would you be | saved from but what you fear? Belief in sin needs great defense and |
Tx:23.33 | make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who | saved the Son of God for fear and death! |
Tx:23.35 | of the attack on him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him and be | saved. Who can find safety from attack by turning on himself? How can |
Tx:23.45 | with the belief that murder takes some forms by which their peace is | saved? Would they be willing to accept the fact their savage purpose |
Tx:24.39 | was there. Your specialness seemed safe because of it. And thus you | saved what you appointed to be your savior and crucified the one whom |
Tx:25.31 | Does he need help or condemnation? Is it your purpose that he be | saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you will make this |
Tx:25.36 | sang will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has | saved its perfume and its loveliness for you. What aim can supersede |
Tx:25.41 | It is no sacrifice that he be | saved, for by his freedom will you gain your own. To let his function |
Tx:25.64 | no fixed allegiance. But remember salvation is not needed by the | saved. You are not called upon to do what one divided still against |
Tx:25.64 | in sin? What could they know of Heaven and the justice of the | saved? |
Tx:25.79 | not to gain the gift because you are reluctant to accept it. It is | saved for you until reluctance to receive it disappears and you are |
Tx:26.22 | perception needs salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be | saved. Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the |
Tx:27.47 | bereft be looked on as a condemnation by the one who could have | saved it but stepped back because he was afraid of being healed? The |
Tx:29.20 | before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would be | saved. On saving you depends his happiness. For who is savior but the |
Tx:29.24 | his waking eyes will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you are | saved. |
Tx:29.50 | truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be | saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer death. |
Tx:30.33 | divinity is but your own. And all He knows is but your knowledge, | saved for you that you may do your will through Him. God asks you do |
Tx:30.37 | Him Whose holy will 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 |
Tx:30.73 | one who sees himself as guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is | saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The mind must think of its |
Tx:31.9 | its call unheard. Without your answer is it left to die, as it is | saved from death when you have heard its calling as the ancient call |
Tx:31.21 | Because he is your equal in God's love, you will be | saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ Who calls to you. |
Tx:31.77 | hell and torment? Who has learned to see his brother not as this has | saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To everyone has |
Tx:31.77 | all, because a partial savior would be one who is but partly | saved. The holy ones whom God has given each of you to save are |
W1:20.3 | salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be | saved if you are not? God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and |
W1:23.4 | made, but you do not see yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be | saved from the world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what |
W1:27.7 | while you were repeating today's idea, you can be sure that you have | saved yourself many years of effort. |
W1:39.3 | salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be | saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's exercises will apply |
W1:39.6 | and therefore fearful. And so it is from them that you need to be | saved. |
W1:58.4 | because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is there to be | saved from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false |
W1:61.3 | place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be | saved and an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to save |
W1:67.1 | This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is | saved by what you are. |
W1:70.1 | and salvation must be in the same place. Understanding this you are | saved. |
W1:71.2 | if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be | saved. Thus the source of salvation is constantly perceived as |
W1:71.3 | in which you believe that says, “If this were different, I would be | saved.” The change of mind that is necessary for salvation is thus |
W1:71.4 | to determine what other than itself must change if you are to be | saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of |
W1:73.11 | He is willing this very day to look upon the light in him and be | saved. |
W1:75.1 | come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has come. You are | saved, and you can save. You are at peace, and you bring peace with |
W1:76.4 | of economics, and of health. Protect the body, and you will be | saved. |
W1:76.14 | It is our acknowledgment that God is our Father and that His Son is | saved. |
W1:78.11 | to express through him the role God gave Him that you might be | saved. God thanks you for these quiet times today in which you laid |
W1:78.11 | thanking you, for not one thought of God but must rejoice as you are | saved and all the world with you. |
W1:80.4 | the problem. You are answered and have accepted the answer. You are | saved. |
W1:93.4 | is death, but it is life. You think you are destroyed, but you are | saved. |
W1:96.2 | use, and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you would be | saved. Until you have accepted this, you will attempt endless lists |
W1:96.15 | If you succeed, the thoughts that come to you will tell you you are | saved and that your mind has found the function that it sought to |
W1:97.3 | a little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are | saved. The minutes which you give are multiplied over and over, for |
W1:99.1 | both imply that something has gone wrong—something you need to be | saved from or forgiven for, something amiss that needs corrective |
W1:99.15 | and salvation are the same. Forgive what you have made, and you are | saved. |
W1:100.2 | Why should you choose to go against His Will? The part that He has | saved for you to take in working out His plan is given you that you |
W1:100.3 | joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the world cannot be | saved. While you are sad, the light which God Himself appointed as |
W1:110.4 | In this one thought is all the past undone; the present | saved to quietly extend into a timeless future. If you are as God |
W1:110.8 | of God and brother to the world—the savior who has been forever | saved, with power to save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking |
W1:121.7 | mind must learn through your forgiveness that it has been | saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you will learn. |
W1:121.12 | friend to you, for in that light his holiness shows you your savior, | saved and saving, healed and whole. Then let him offer you the light |
W1:123.2 | yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has | saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him |
W1:123.3 | for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are | saved. Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill. Be |
W1:124.7 | we are one with God. For in these words we say as well that we are | saved and healed, that we can save and heal accordingly. We have |
W1:128.1 | all that serves to give you joy. Believe this thought, and you are | saved from years of misery, from countless disappointments, and from |
W1:135.10 | the limits, and the lacks from which you think the body must be | saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. |
W1:138.8 | will not relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be | saved from salvation, threatened to be safe, and magically armored |
W1:155.8 | hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is but from illusions he is | saved. As they step back, he finds himself again. |
W1:166.12 | learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He has | saved you from the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from |
W1:191.5 | and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity is truly | saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives to everyone in |
W1:193.15 | here no more. And as we practice, let us think about all things we | saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart from healing. Let us give |
W1:194.2 | the heavy chains that locked the door to freedom on it. You are | saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world |
W1:194.6 | see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is | saved. |
W1:194.9 | Now are we | saved indeed. For in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure that only |
W1:200.2 | aside all hope of finding happiness where there is none, of being | saved by what can only hurt, of making peace of chaos, joy of pain, |
W2:WF.5 | Him by God. Now must you share His function and forgive whom He has | saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the Son of |
W2:234.2 | eternal patience, and the Word which You have given us that we are | saved. |
W2:235.1 | me and with perfect certainty assure myself, “God wills that I be | saved from this,” and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in |
W2:235.1 | Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect to be sure that I am | saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am |
W2:235.1 | saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am | saved because God in His mercy wills it so. |
W2:276.2 | who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and blessed and | saved by You. |
W2:288.1 | the way to You. His sins are in the past along with mine. And I am | saved because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart |
W2:295.1 | to settle on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am | saved, the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed |

Tx:21.67 | You are your brother's | savior. He is yours. Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This |

Tx:22.26 | impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to look upon your | savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is possible to |
Tx:22.26 | the Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the | savior that has been given you? And would you not exchange in |
Tx:22.58 | each other's eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his | savior in place of the attacker who he thought was there. Through |
Tx:23.25 | help of God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the | savior has become the enemy. |

Tx:24.18 | You who have chained your | savior to your specialness and given it his place, remember this: He |
Tx:24.21 | Here is your | savior from your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of |
Tx:24.32 | not death, but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the | savior God gave to you that you might look on him and give him back |
Tx:24.33 | hell and to damnation? And do you will that this be done unto your | savior? God calls to you from him to join His Will to save you both |
Tx:24.34 | it first. And such is guilt's attraction. Here is death enthroned as | savior; crucifixion is now redemption, and salvation can only mean |
Tx:24.39 | safe because of it. And thus you saved what you appointed to be your | savior and crucified the one whom God has given you instead. So are |

Tx:29.19 | in Him does not exist, and His completion is its nothingness. Your | savior is not dead, nor does he dwell in what was built as temple |
Tx:29.19 | as temple unto death. He lives in God, and it is this that makes him | savior unto you, and only this. His body's nothingness releases yours |

Tx:29.20 | For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a | savior first, before he can remember what he is. And he must save who |

W1:10.6 | if any personal meaning to you. As each one crosses your mind, | say: |
W1:12.3 | As you look about you, | say to yourself: |
W1:14.4 | then deny its reality. God did not create it, and so it is not real. | Say, for example: |
W1:14.6 | quite specifically. Do not use general terms. For example, do not | say, “God did not create illness,” but, “God did not create cancer,” |
W1:14.9 | aside from the practice periods. Be very specific in applying it. | Say: |
W1:15.4 | around you, using its name and letting your eyes rest on it as you | say: |
W1:17.2 | In applying today's idea, | say to yourself, with eyes open: |
W1:17.4 | your glance on each thing that catches your eye long enough to | say: |
W1:17.6 | For example, you might | say: |
W1:18.3 | application of the idea randomly, look at each one long enough to | say: |
W1:19.3 | or theme it contains and, holding it in your mind as you do so, | say: |
W1:21.6 | perception of the person is suffering from this form of distortion, | say: |

W1:23.6 | many attack thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your mind | say: |
W1:23.8 | Hold each attack thought in mind as you | say this, and then dismiss that thought and go on to the next. |
W1:24.9 | as possible for each unresolved situation that crosses your mind, | say to yourself: |
W1:25.3 | way of describing the goals you now perceive as valuable is to | say that they are all concerned with “personal” interests. Since you |
W1:25.6 | or “unhuman.” With your eyes resting on each subject you so select, | say, for example: |
W1:25.8 | Say this quite slowly, without shifting your eyes until you have | |
W1:27.2 | believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you | say you want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the |
W1:28.2 | You may wonder why it is important to | say, for example, “Above all else I want to see this table |
W1:28.3 | When you | say, “Above all else I want to see this table differently,” you are |
W1:29.7 | for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you | say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice you |
W1:33.3 | arises which tempts you to become disturbed. For these applications, | say: |
W1:36.3 | the idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. | Say, for example: |
W1:41.7 | because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even | say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open if |
W1:43.5 | subjects for this phase of the exercises are sufficient. You might | say, for example: |
W1:46.4 | you do not like is a suitable subject. Mention each one by name and | say: |
W1:46.10 | but the central idea should not be lost sight of. You might | say, for example: |
W1:54.5 | effects of my thoughts. I am alone in nothing. Everything I think or | say or do touches all the universe. A Son of God cannot think or |
W1:62.5 | As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible, | say to yourself: |
W1:65.1 | the saviors of the world. This is the only way in which you can | say and mean, “My only function is the one God gave me.” This is the |
W1:66.16 | to repeat these words slowly and think about them a little while you | say them. |
W1:68.7 | Determine now to see all these people as friends. | Say to them all collectively, thinking of each one in turn as you do |
W1:69.9 | searching for it alone and that you do know where to look for it. | Say, then: |
W1:70.14 | of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world. | Say, then: |
W1:71.11 | You have me do? Where would You have me go? What would You have me | say, and to whom? |
W1:73.15 | practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really want. | Say: |
W1:74.13 | should be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals today, | say to yourself: |
W1:75.11 | see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever. | Say, then: |
W1:75.13 | Should you be tempted, | say to anyone who seems to pull you back to darkness: |
W1:80.6 | to apply the idea for today to any specific problem that may arise. | Say quickly: |
W1:83.2 | With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to | say, and what to think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge |
W1:91.10 | attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place. | Say, for example: |
W1:98.8 | His confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you | say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. |
W1:98.8 | sound to what they really mean. Today you practice with Him as you | say: |
W1:98.11 | will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you | say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the |
W1:99.9 | well the idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you | say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father |
W1:101.7 | from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination. | Say: |
W1:105.9 | experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can | say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you have given what you |
W1:105.11 | worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least remember hourly to | say the words which call on Him to give you what He wills to give and |
W1:105.12 | the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your brother thankfully, and | say: |
W1:107.11 | His function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you | say: |
W1:108.8 | So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for today and | say: |
W1:108.10 | hold out to everyone to have it yours. You might, for instance, | say: |
W1:108.12 | Say each one slowly, and then pause a while, expecting to receive the | |
W1:108.13 | in your learning, made still faster and more sure each time you | say: |
W1:110.11 | meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will | say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in |
W1:124.7 | We join in this awareness as we | say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as well that |
W1:124.7 | awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we | say as well that we are saved and healed, that we can save and heal |
W1:129.4 | as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what they | say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared |
W1:130.8 | petty treasures of this world. You wait for God to help you as you | say: |
W1:130.12 | the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you need | say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this: |
W1:132.20 | increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the world, and | say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your simple change |
W1:135.6 | it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you but | say your home is open to the thief of time, corruptible and |
W1:135.23 | that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we | say: |
W1:139.13 | to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness, as you | say: |
W1:140.14 | proof 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 |
W1:R4.10 | assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes and | say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you are using |
W1:160.3 | And yet how easy it would be to | say, “This is my home. Here I belong and will not leave because a |
W1:169.5 | Being, He encompasses all things. No mind holds anything but Him. We | say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words |
W1:R5.12 | we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every time we | say, |
W1:181.6 | them with instructions to our minds to change their focus, as we | say: |
W1:182.1 | here, from somewhere all unknown. Nothing so definite that you could | say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent feeling, |
W1:183.2 | nor said without an echo in the mind which calls you to remember. | Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the ground on |
W1:183.7 | on this. No other words we use except at the beginning, when we | say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only |
W1:185.1 | To | say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If |
W1:185.7 | our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we | say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These words do |
W1:188.9 | and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it as we | say: |
W1:193.10 | Shall we not learn to | say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and |
W1:193.10 | and death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to | say these words when we have understood their power to release all |
W1:199.8 | to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you | say: |
W1:200.11 | no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer every time we | say: |
W1:R6.8 | are tempted, hasten to proclaim your freedom from temptation, as you | say: |
W1:R6.11 | you. I place you in His charge and let Him teach you what to do and | say and think each time you turn to Him. He will not fail to be |
W2:I.3 | holy instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We | say some simple words of welcome and expect our Father to reveal |
W2:I.4 | and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We | say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait |
W2:275.2 | tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what to | say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The |
W2:300.1 | This is the thought that can be used to | say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here. |
W2:360.1 | like to You in perfect sinlessness, and with this thought we gladly | say “Amen.” |
W2:FL.6 | We come in honesty to Him and | say we did not understand and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons |
W2:FL.6 | Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him and | say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will |
W2:E.5 | The end is certain and the means as well. To this we | say “Amen.” We will be told exactly what God wills for us each time |
W2:E.6 | We trust our ways to Him and | say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way and trust all things |
M:I.3 | with it or it may not. It is the teaching underlying what you | say that teaches you. Teaching but reinforces what you believe about |
M:3.3 | best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to | say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of |

M:5.4 | “There is no gain to me at all in this,” and he is healed. But to | say this one must first recognize certain facts. First, it is obvious |

Tx:29.44 | would make himself complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly about in | search of something that he cannot find, believing that he is what he |

W1:38.4 | five minutes, repeat the idea for today, close your eyes, and then | search your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as |
W1:39.6 | usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes | search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear— |
W1:39.8 | selection and without undue emphasis on any one in particular, | search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your |

W1:71.4 | provided that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless | search will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this |
W1:86.2 | Only God's plan for salvation will work. It is senseless for me to | search wildly about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and |

W1:131.3 | Pursuit of the imagined leads to death because it is the | search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for |
W1:131.4 | you came for. But the world cannot dictate the goal for which you | search unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are |

W1:10.6 | The exercises consist, as before, in | searching your mind for all the thoughts which are available to you, |

W1:19.3 | The minute or so of mind | searching which today's exercises require are to be undertaken with |
W1:21.1 | extension of the preceding one. This time, however, specific mind | searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the idea to |
W1:23.6 | to yourself and then close your eyes and devote about a minute to | searching your mind for as many attack thoughts as occur to you. As |
W1:24.3 | of a large number. Two minutes are suggested for each of the mind | searching periods which the exercises involve. |
W1:24.4 | The practice periods begin with repeating today's idea, followed by | searching the mind with closed eyes for unresolved situations about |
W1:34.3 | Some five minutes of mind | searching are required for each of the longer practice periods. |

W1:47.4 | as usual by repeating today's idea. Then spend a minute or two in | searching for situations in your life which you have invested with |
W1:65.2 | upon yourself, in your own hands. It gives you the answer to all the | searching you have done since time began. |
W1:68.6 | Begin today's extended practice period by | searching your mind for those against whom you hold what you regard |
W1:69.9 | the world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not | searching for it alone and that you do know where to look for it. |

W1:130.8 | Begin your | searching for the other world by asking for a strength beyond your |
W1:131.1 | death. Who could succeed where contradiction is the setting of his | searching and the place to which he comes to find stability? |
W1:131.4 | Yet | searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you will surely |
W1:131.17 | appointed time and place where you will find the goal of all your | searching here and all the seeking of the world, which ends together |

Tx:15.21 | instructions as you go along. To learn to separate out this single | second and begin to experience it as timeless, is to begin to |
Tx:19.59 | Where the attraction of guilt holds sway, peace is not wanted. The | second obstacle that peace must flow across, and closely related to |

W1:I.3 | the first dealing with the undoing of what you see now and the | second with the restoration of sight. It is recommended that each |

W1:43.8 | For the | second and longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, |
W1:43.11 | anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then try the | second phase again. Do not allow any protracted period to occur in |
W1:66.9 | The | second premise is that God has given you your function. We have seen |
W1:71.9 | will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the | second part; it is inherent in the first. And in the first is your |

W1:108.4 | not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in | second place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that |
W1:R3.13 | one to be applied on each half hour as well. Forget them not. This | second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large advances |
W1:123.7 | hour given Him will be returned to you in terms of years for every | second, power to save the world eons more quickly for your thanks to |

W1:R4.1 | Now we review again, this time aware we are preparing for the | second part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we will |

W2:WISC.1 | Christ's | Second Coming, which is sure as God, is merely the correction of |
W2:WISC.2 | It is the all-inclusive nature of Christ's | Second Coming that permits it to embrace the world and hold you safe |
W2:WISC.2 | all living things with you. There is no end to the release the | Second Coming brings, as God's creation must be limitless. |
W2:WISC.2 | brings, as God's creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the | Second Coming's way because it shines on everyone as one. And thus is |
W2:WISC.3 | The | Second Coming ends the lessons which the Holy Spirit teaches, making |
W2:WISC.3 | summary that will extend beyond itself and reaches up to God. The | Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to the hands |
W2:WISC.4 | The | Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself cannot |

M:4.5 | When the teacher of God has learned that much, he goes on to the | second stage. |

seeing (121) | ||
Tx:3.23 | There has been some human controversy about the nature of | seeing in relation to the integrative powers of the brain. Correctly |
Tx:3.28 | statement, because what is not true cannot exist) right-minded | seeing cannot see anything but perfection. We have said many times |
Tx:5.34 | for God in him and thus acknowledge its being. There are two ways of | seeing your brother which are diametrically opposed to each other. |
Tx:7.9 | whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this way, you are | seeing him as if he were absent from the Kingdom or separated from |
Tx:7.13 | he is free to use terms like “intramental” and “intermental” without | seeing them as different [and] conflicting, because minds can be in |
Tx:7.62 | perfectly logically to the position that you cannot be mind. By not | seeing you as you are, it can see itself as it wants to be. Aware of |
Tx:8.53 | of God thinks of himself in this way, he is belittling himself and | seeing his brothers as similarly belittled. Since he can find himself |
Tx:8.102 | eyes, you will not see because you are interfering with the laws of | seeing. If you deny love, you will not know it because your |
Tx:9.3 | If you point out the errors of your brother's ego, you must be | seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does not perceive his |
Tx:9.12 | overlook it. Yet how can you overlook what you have made real? By | seeing it clearly, you have made it real and cannot overlook it. |
Tx:11.67 | look in before you look out. As you look in you choose the guide for | seeing, and then you look out and behold his witnesses. This is why |
Tx:12.2 | failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing the Son of God by | seeing him as guilty. Believing you are no longer you, you do not |
Tx:12.37 | recognized. If you see your own hatred as your brother, you are not | seeing him. Everyone draws nigh unto what he loves and recoils from |
Tx:12.42 | Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you made your way of | seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. |
Tx:12.43 | emotions, and one you made and one was given you. Each is a way of | seeing, and different worlds arise from their different visions. See |
Tx:12.43 | is given you, for through Christ's vision He beholds Himself. And | seeing what He is, He knows His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, |
Tx:12.44 | In the sanity of His vision, they looked upon themselves with love, | seeing themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this vision |
Tx:12.54 | them as guides to peace, for you have made it manifest in them. And | seeing it, its beauty calls you home. |
Tx:12.60 | see both worlds, for each of them involves a different kind of | seeing and depends on what you cherish. The sight of one is possible |
Tx:13.47 | you do not know it. But you have the means for learning it and | seeing it quite clearly. The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as |
Tx:13.51 | Seeing is always outward. Were your thoughts wholly of you, the | |
Tx:13.56 | The Holy Spirit, | seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins His lesson |
Tx:14.30 | it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining with Him in | seeing is the way in which you learn to share with Him the |
Tx:14.31 | It is the recognition that nothing you see means anything alone. | Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, including yours, |
Tx:14.61 | cannot be seen, for it is nothing more than a condition in which | seeing becomes impossible. You who have not yet brought all of the |
Tx:14.67 | is changeless. The miracle acknowledges His changelessness by | seeing His Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The |
Tx:15.19 | You do not realize how much you have misused your brothers by | seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to |
Tx:15.86 | necessary process of looking straight at all the interference and | seeing it exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as |
Tx:16.61 | lack of value of the special relationship if they were seen. For in | seeing them, the body would disappear because its value would be |
Tx:16.61 | because its value would be lost. And so your whole investment in | seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the world you value. |
Tx:17.7 | you learn to see it for yourself. And all His teaching leads to | seeing it and giving thanks with Him. |
Tx:17.23 | true. You have made the relationship unreal and therefore unholy by | seeing it where it is not and as it is not. Give the past to Him Who |
Tx:17.39 | you from the picture. And finally you look upon the picture itself, | seeing at last that, unprotected by the frame, it has no meaning. |
Tx:19.3 | body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; | seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has never said, and |
Tx:19.10 | his errors, looking past all barriers between your self and his and | seeing them as one. And in that one you see your faith is fully |
Tx:19.39 | Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What need is there for | seeing then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy |
Tx:19.39 | And the Father will accept them in His Name. What need is there of | seeing in the presence of His gratitude? |
Tx:20.23 | the meaning of the universe. And of the one blind thing in all the | seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the Son of |
Tx:20.65 | meaning, the means for its attainment will be evaluated as worth the | seeing, and so you will not see. |
Tx:20.66 | is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the | seeing look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he |
Tx:20.66 | make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision which made his | seeing possible. |
Tx:20.72 | Its eyes adjust to sin, unable to overlook it in any form and | seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, and |
Tx:21.37 | give each other can accomplish this. For He Who loves the world is | seeing it for you without one spot of sin upon it and in the |
Tx:21.40 | it power to serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their | seeing, they look past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you |

Tx:22.34 | not to see? For this the body's eyes are perfect means, but not for | seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on externals and cannot go |
Tx:22.35 | there to see. And if you see it, you must be mistaken, for you are | seeing what can not be real as if it were. What cannot see beyond |

Tx:28.46 | a sacrifice. But miracles are the result when you do not insist on | seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let |
Tx:28.50 | are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does not know what | seeing is, what listening is for. It is as little able to perceive as |
Tx:29.50 | is for. And speed the end of idols in a world made sad and sick by | seeing idols there. Your holy minds are altars unto God, and where He |
Tx:30.73 | His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God the sure result of | seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who sees himself as guilty can |

W1:59.5 | if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what | seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand |
W1:78.4 | be blind to him; we will not look upon our grievances. So is the | seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from |
W1:78.6 | He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through | seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you |

W1:92.10 | Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice | seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to show |

W1:158.11 | holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal love. We practice | seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, |
W1:161.2 | thus could it invent the partial world you see. The purpose of all | seeing is to show you what you wish to see. All hearing but brings to |
W1:161.7 | no death. Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its eyes behold, | seeing itself in everything, compelled to turn upon itself and to |
W1:161.12 | which he makes so frequently. Then think of this—what you are | seeing now conceals from you the sight of one who can forgive you all |
W1:165.5 | For this sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the | seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and |
W1:170.9 | from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing before this idol, | seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to love what you have |
W1:R5.8 | have no meaning. Yet a savior must remain with those he teaches, | seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the way that |

Tx:9.54 | cannot triumph, but you are exalted. And in your exalted state, you | seek others like you and rejoice with them. |
Tx:11.39 | which cannot but lead to a sense of futility and depression? To | seek and not to find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would |

Tx:11.67 | you look out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you | seek. What you want in yourself, you will make manifest by |
Tx:11.77 | minute, and yet you are surprised that you cannot see it. If you | seek love in order to attack it, you will never find it. For if love |
Tx:12.21 | at all. For a darkened mind cannot live in the light, and it must | seek a place of darkness where it can believe it is where it is not. |

Tx:13.79 | Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son, whom He created holy, | |
Tx:15.32 | But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not | seek to find anything. |
Tx:15.44 | In your practice, then, try only to be vigilant against deception and | seek not to protect the thoughts you would keep unto yourself. Let |
Tx:15.46 | guilt into your relationships and thus make them unreal. If you | seek to separate out certain aspects of the totality and look to them |
Tx:15.51 | in Heaven or earth that it resembles, and so however much you | seek for its reality, you cannot find it because it is not real. |
Tx:15.57 | unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you. And so you | seek without for what you cannot find without. I offer you my perfect |
Tx:15.58 | holiness is power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength. If you | seek for satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, |

Tx:15.81 | and join you in your love. And where you are must everyone | seek and find you there. |
Tx:15.88 | and you have denied his gift to you. His body cannot give it. And | seek it not through yours. Yet your minds are already continuous, and |
Tx:15.90 | to separate the Father from the Son and limit their communication. | Seek not Atonement in further separation. And limit not your vision |
Tx:15.98 | your only question is who is to be destroyed, you or another? You | seek to answer this question in your special relationships, in which |
Tx:15.101 | recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And | seek not safety by attempting to protect yourself from where it is |
Tx:15.106 | So is it that in all your seeking for love, you | seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It is |
Tx:16.33 | choice they see. And love to them is only an escape from death. They | seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it would gladly |

Tx:16.35 | Your task is not to seek for love but merely to | seek and find all of the barriers within yourself which you have |

Tx:16.35 | It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to | seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form |
Tx:16.35 | attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you | seek love outside yourself, you can be certain that you perceive |

Tx:16.54 | Whenever any form of special relationship tempts you to | seek for love in ritual, remember love is content and not form of any |
Tx:16.60 | is to separate yourself from it. For the love of God, no longer | seek for union in separation nor for freedom in bondage! As you |
Tx:16.62 | in separate unions and to become one by losing. When two individuals | seek to become one, they are trying to decrease their magnitude. Each |
Tx:16.64 | Without this illusion, there can be no meaning you would still | seek here. |

Tx:16.71 | what you think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not | seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the past is gone. |
Tx:16.73 | you while you pursue the ego's goal as its ally. The past is gone; | seek not to preserve it in the special relationship, which binds you |
Tx:16.74 | it does not seem to be an acting out of vengeance which you | seek. And even when the hatred and the savagery break briefly through |
Tx:16.79 | of God and all His Love, without limit, will support you as you | seek only your place in the plan of Atonement arising from His Love. |
Tx:16.80 | Seek and find his message in the holy instant, where all illusions | |
Tx:17.21 | unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you will learn to | seek for and establish conditions in which this beauty can be seen. |
Tx:17.66 | If you lack faith, ask that it be restored where it was lost and | seek not to have it made up to you elsewhere as if you had been |
Tx:18.36 | You merely ask the question. The answer is given. | Seek not to answer it, but merely receive the answer as it is given. |
Tx:18.36 | it. Purification is of God alone and therefore for you. Rather than | seek to prepare yourself for Him, try to think thus: |
Tx:18.91 | you bring to it, you do not confuse it with the world below, nor | seek to make it real. |
Tx:19.8 | have no connection. This will remain forever true, however much you | seek to connect them. But illusions are always connected, as is |
Tx:19.50 | love and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to | seek out guilt and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin which they |
Tx:19.52 | bring you word of bones and skin and flesh. They have been taught to | seek for the corruptible and to return with gorges filled with things |
Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to | seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain. It is essential |
Tx:19.77 | have no hold at all except on those who are attracted to it and | seek it out. And so it is with death. Made by the ego, its dark |
Tx:19.102 | yet your savior stands beside each one. Let him be what he is and | seek not to make of love an enemy. |
Tx:19.108 | given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and quiet that you | seek, the reason for the journey from its beginning. Heaven is the |
Tx:20.22 | sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. | Seek not to make the Son of God adjust to his insanity. There is a |
Tx:20.48 | mysteries are kept obscure and hidden from the sun. It does not | seek for power, but for relationships. The body is the ego's chosen |
Tx:21.1 | inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, | seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind about the |
Tx:21.34 | You made perception that you might choose among your brothers and | seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to |
Tx:21.37 | that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you | seek to limit Him, you will hate Him because you are afraid. The gift |
Tx:21.73 | no weapons, and it has no enemy. Yes, it can overrun the world and | seek an enemy. But it can never find what is not there. Yes, it can |
Tx:21.74 | he admit that no one made him powerless? Reason would surely bid him | seek no longer what is not there to find. Yet first he must be |
Tx:22.16 | its nothingness. Yet in these dark and heavy garments are those who | seek illusions covered and hidden from the joy of truth. |
Tx:22.17 | joy could be the opposite of misery? To leave one kind of misery and | seek another is hardly an escape. To change illusions is to make no |
Tx:22.51 | No one but yearns for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he will | seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will believe |
Tx:22.58 | you have asked what is your function here and have been answered. | Seek not to change it nor to substitute another goal. [This one was |
Tx:23.17 | How can the resting-place of God turn on itself and | seek to overcome the One Who dwells there? And think what happens |
Tx:23.27 | For enemies do not give willingly to one another, nor would they | seek to share the things they value. And what your enemies would keep |
Tx:23.35 | Let not the form of the attack on him deceive you. You cannot | seek to harm him and be saved. Who can find safety from attack by |
Tx:23.55 | to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything could | seek for limitation, nor could he value the body's offerings. The |
Tx:24.12 | and keeping clear in sight all lacks it can perceive. This does it | seek, and this it looks upon. And always whom it thus diminishes |
Tx:24.33 | Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will be done. They | seek your love that you may love yourself. Love not your specialness |
Tx:24.40 | takes joy in what it sees, although it is not true. Yet what you | seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is true |
Tx:24.43 | it. For what can specialness delight in but to kill? What does it | seek for but the sight of death? Where does it lead but to |
Tx:24.47 | You who would be content with specialness and | seek salvation in a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of |
Tx:24.64 | claims you instead? How can you fail to know it is in his holiness? | Seek not to make your specialness the truth, for if it were, you |
Tx:25.5 | your death. And would you not despise the one who tells you this and | seek his death instead? The message and the messenger are one. And |
Tx:25.13 | you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your choice, while you would | seek for hope where none is ever found. |
Tx:25.32 | happy fact. Their joy is in the innocence they see. And thus they | seek for it because it is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. |
Tx:25.73 | of no injustice. He would not allow His Son be judged by those who | seek his death and could not see his worth at all. What honest |
Tx:25.73 | the Son He loves and would protect from all unfairness you might | seek to offer, believing vengeance is his proper due. |
Tx:25.84 | Salvation cannot | seek to help God's Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If |
Tx:25.85 | your right to them because you were unjust to one with equal rights. | Seek to deny, and you will feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have |
Tx:25.85 | to one with equal rights. Seek to deny, and you will feel denied. | Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A miracle can never be |
Tx:26.45 | from your welcoming embrace. Without Him you are friendless. | Seek not another friend to take His place. There is no other friend. |
Tx:26.74 | Why are not its effects apparent then? Why in the future? And you | seek to be content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not |
Tx:26.88 | temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you | seek to find an innocence which is not Theirs but yours alone and at |
Tx:26.88 | Is it not retribution for your own attack upon the Son of God you | seek? Is it not safer to believe that you are innocent of this and |
Tx:26.89 | you perceive one purpose for your whole relationship. And this you | seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is |
Tx:27.4 | him. The sick are merciless to everyone, and in contagion do they | seek to kill. Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, |
Tx:27.9 | grave. If this were true, there would be reason to remain content to | seek for passing joys and cherish little pleasures where you can. Yet |
Tx:27.67 | upon yourself begun. And it is this the world bears witness to. | Seek not another cause nor look among the mighty legions of its |
Tx:28.5 | The Holy Spirit's use of memory is quite apart from time. He does not | seek to use it as a means to keep the past, but rather as a way to |
Tx:28.6 | It works hand in hand with all the other attributes with which you | seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself. Time neither takes |
Tx:28.54 | not judged itself nor made itself to be what it is not. It does not | seek to make of pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. |
Tx:28.56 | and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it forth to | seek for separation and to be a separate thing. And then you hate it, |
Tx:29.37 | changelessness is found. Let us be glad indeed that this is so and | seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are means to |
Tx:29.43 | Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each | |
Tx:29.43 | answer you can substitute and find the happiness His answer brings. | Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a |
Tx:29.43 | or happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides and | seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know |
Tx:29.43 | You will fail. But it is given you to know the truth and not to | seek for it outside yourself. |
Tx:29.44 | of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows upon the body—that it | seek for what he lacks and give him what would make himself complete. |
Tx:29.45 | The lingering illusion will impel him to | seek out a thousand idols and to seek beyond them for a thousand |
Tx:29.45 | illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to | seek beyond them for a thousand more. And each will fail him, all |
Tx:29.45 | but his death. Its form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he | seek to kill God's Son within and prove that he is victor over him. |
Tx:29.46 | and to have suffered loss. And by this giving up is life renounced. | Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole |
Tx:29.46 | whole within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to | seek outside yourself for what you are. |
Tx:29.47 | and what would you expect but to perceive the signs of death you | seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an |
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 |

W1:73.6 | want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments which | seek to prove all this is really Heaven. You know it is not so. You |
W1:74.12 | retreat into withdrawal, even if you do not experience the peace you | seek. |
W1:74.14 | There is no will but God's. I | seek His peace today. |
W1:76.1 | so, you must first realize salvation lies not there. While you would | seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws |
W1:76.1 | meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you | seek to prove salvation is where it is not. |
W1:76.2 | be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever | seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for today tells you |
W1:77.6 | statement of a simple fact. You will receive the assurance that you | seek. |
W1:96.13 | Then | seek its thoughts, and claim them as your own. |
W1:98.1 | planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we will not | seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is and |

W1:122.5 | Here is the answer! | Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead. God's |
W1:122.9 | will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we | seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting |
W1:126.10 | your eyes upon the world which does not understand forgiveness and | seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and |
W1:127.5 | but violates the truth of what love is, and what you are as well. | Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in |
W1:128.3 | value you make part of you as you perceive yourself. All things you | seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you further, hide |
W1:128.6 | above the world when you release your mind from chains and let it | seek the level where it finds itself at home. It will be grateful to |
W1:129.6 | but for your choosing it to take the place of all the things you | seek but do not want. |
W1:130.5 | Today we will not | seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot be found. |
W1:130.5 | is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. | Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one remains. They are the |
W1:130.8 | asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it is you | seek. You do not want illusions. And you come to these five minutes |
W1:130.13 | It is impossible to see two worlds. I | seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I |
W1:131.1 | Failure is all about you while you | seek for goals that cannot be achieved. You look for permanence in |
W1:131.3 | to death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you | seek for life you ask for death. You look for safety and security |
W1:131.5 | can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot | seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive himself, and think |
W1:131.6 | timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you | seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from |
W1:131.13 | and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The world I | seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to think are not my |
W1:131.15 | Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it, remind | |
W1:131.15 | before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you | seek. |
W1:131.19 | Today I | seek and find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No |
W1:133.16 | I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I | seek, for only that do I desire to find. |
W1:136.13 | make appeal to might nor triumph. It does not command obedience nor | seek to prove how pitiful and futile are your attempts to plan |
W1:138.5 | as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we | seek to teach within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching |
W1:140.6 | cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it | seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing |
W1:140.7 | Let us not try today to | seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must be sought but |
W1:140.8 | Today we | seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a |

W1:181.3 | changing our intent. We seek for innocence and nothing else. We | seek for it with no concern but now. |
W1:181.8 | use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not | seek for long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the |
W1:181.8 | As each obstruction seems to block the vision of our sinlessness, we | seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin |
W1:181.9 | Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we | seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond |
W1:181.9 | world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we | seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes of Christ |
W1:181.10 | sin and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We | seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing today. |
W1:185.10 | You want the peace of God. And so do all who seem to | seek for dreams. For them as well as for yourself you ask but this |
W1:185.10 | to what they really want and join your own intent with what they | seek above all things, perhaps unknown to them, but sure to you. You |
W1:185.14 | It is this one intent we | seek today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the |
W1:188.1 | Why wait for Heaven? Those who | seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them |
W1:189.6 | Today we pass illusions as we | seek to reach to what is true in us and feel Its all-embracing |
W1:190.9 | your throat, and put aside the withering assaults with which you | seek to hide your holiness. Here will you understand there is no |
W1:198.4 | plan of God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, | seek to find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong, a thousand |
W1:199.1 | as you perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would | seek for freedom in a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The |
W1:199.6 | The Holy Spirit is the home of minds that | seek for freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's |

W1:200.11 | Today we | seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of God is |
W1:200.11 | purpose and companionship. For peace is union if it be of God. We | seek no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer every |
W1:205.1 | of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I | seek, my purpose and my function and my life while I abide where I am |
W1:211.1 | I am the holy Son of God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I | seek God's glory to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self. |
W1:212.1 | [192] I have a function God would have me fill. I | seek the function that would set me free from all the vain illusions |
W1:212.1 | Only the function God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I | seek, and only this will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am |
W2:I.1 | We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now we | seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which remain are |
W2:221.1 | Father, I come to You today to | seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the |
W2:225.2 | will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we | seek as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that |
W2:229.1 | I | seek my own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which created |
W2:229.1 | in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now need I | seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming |

W2:231.1 | What can I | seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something |
W2:231.1 | What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I | seek for something else—a something I have called by many names. |
W2:231.1 | I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I | seek or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever |
W2:231.2 | One as well Who is our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we | seek. And only this is what it will be given us to find. |
W2:WIW.3 | born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to | seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to |
W2:WIS.2 | Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will | seek instead for witnesses to what is true. |
W2:251.1 | I sought for many things and found despair. Now do I | seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I need. All |
W2:258.2 | goal but this. What could we want but to remember You? What could we | seek but our Identity? |
W2:259.2 | I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love nor | seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You |
W2:261.1 | the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today | seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in |

W2:268.2 | is free of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we | seek today. |
W2:WIC.5 | goal of the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us | seek to find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His |
W2:271.1 | upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and | seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's |
W2:275.1 | any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will | seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the |
W2:287.1 | gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I | seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I |
W2:290.1 | belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I | seek my present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I |
W2:290.1 | my present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I | seek. |
W2:290.2 | I come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but | seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask |
W2:292.1 | ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will | seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that |

W2:318.1 | sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I | seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His |
W2:319.1 | by lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore it must | seek for aims which are curtailed and limiting. The ego thinks that |
W2:WIE.2 | and trembles at the figures in its dreams, its enemies who | seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. |
W2:334.2 | I | seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing less |
W2:346.1 | as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not | seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I |
W2:346.1 | seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I | seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. |
W2:349.1 | I liberate all things I see and give to them the freedom that I | seek. For thus do I obey the law of love and give what I would find |

Tx:14.15 | all who think they are outside. Cast no one out, for this is what he | seeks, along with you. Come, let us join him in the holy place of |
Tx:14.55 | and give only the answer with which He answers you. Everyone | seeks for love as you do and knows it not unless he joins with you in |
Tx:15.40 | is the recognition that all minds are in communication. It therefore | seeks to change nothing, but merely to accept everything. |
Tx:16.49 | self which the ego fosters in the special relationship. This “self” | seeks the relationship to make itself complete. Yet when it finds the |
Tx:16.50 | The “better” self the ego | seeks is always one that is more special. And whoever seems to |
Tx:16.53 | An altar is erected in between two separate people on which each | seeks to kill his self and on his body raise another self which takes |
Tx:16.62 | would enter into it. Yet the special relationship which the ego | seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the ego wants |
Tx:16.72 | ego remembers everything that you have done which offended it and | seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it brings to the special |
Tx:17.16 | the reasons which go to make the relationship unholy. For unholiness | seeks to reinforce itself, as holiness does, by gathering to itself |
Tx:17.20 | undone. For separation must be corrected where it was made. The ego | seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their source, but where they |
Tx:17.20 | not at their source, but where they were not made. And thus it | seeks to guarantee there will be no solution. |
Tx:17.21 | wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He | seeks and finds the source of problems where it is and there undoes |
Tx:17.62 | and does not perceive the situation as a whole. Therefore, it | seeks to split off segments of the situation and deal with them |
Tx:19.76 | Him returns to Him, seeking itself along the way and finding what it | seeks. So does the ego find the death it seeks, returning it to you. |
Tx:19.76 | the way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego find the death it | seeks, returning it to you. |
Tx:20.7 | No one but sees in his chosen home an altar to himself. No one but | seeks to draw to it the worshipers of what he placed upon it, making |
Tx:20.48 | for all that it could offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the ego | seeks as many bodies as it can collect to place its idols in and so |
Tx:20.49 | yet hiding nothing. Here the unholy relationship escapes reality and | seeks for crumbs to keep itself alive. Here it would drag its |
Tx:21.65 | Reason, like love, would reassure you and | seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the Son of God is given |
Tx:23.9 | thousand. The ego joins with nothing, being nothing. The victory it | seeks is meaningless as is itself. |
Tx:23.18 | itself. War is the condition in which fear is born and grows and | seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to |
Tx:23.18 | and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where love abides and | seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one |
Tx:24.23 | but looks on sight of death. Not one believer in its potency but | seeks for bargains and for compromise that would establish sin love's |
Tx:24.45 | your completion in each living thing that He beholds and loves. And | seeks it still, that each might offer you the love of God. |
Tx:25.32 | it because it is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone | seeks for what will bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim |
Tx:27.7 | And yet to both the message is the same. Adornment of the body | seeks to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about |
Tx:27.14 | what it has done is there to see. Forgiveness is not pity which but | seeks to pardon what it knows to be the truth. Good cannot be |
Tx:27.77 | bodies dying like itself. In the brief time allotted it to live, it | seeks for other bodies as its friends and enemies. Its safety is its |
Tx:27.78 | The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the body | seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts things |
Tx:28.46 | but join with him, and where you join His Son, the Father is. Who | seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who |
Tx:29.44 | And therefore by his coming, he denies the truth about himself and | seeks for something more than everything, as if a part of it were |
Tx:29.45 | one; for he will die and does not understand the idol that he | seeks is but his death. Its form appears to be outside himself. Yet |
Tx:29.51 | It is not so. Salvation | seeks to prove there is no death, and only life exists. The sacrifice |
W1:131.5 | he try to force delay, deceive himself, and think that it is hell he | seeks. When he is wrong, he finds correction; when he wanders off, he |
W1:133.8 | recognize the things you really have, denying they are there. Who | seeks to take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer |
W1:152.9 | true humility, abandoning the false pretense by which the ego | seeks to prove it arrogant. Only the ego can be arrogant. But truth |
W1:182.3 | in darkness what he cannot find, not recognizing what it is he | seeks. A thousand homes he makes, yet none contents his restless |
W1:182.3 | restless mind. He does not understand he builds in vain. The home he | seeks cannot be made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All |
W1:182.4 | of a past that never happened. Yet there is a Child in you Who | seeks His Father's house and knows that He is alien here. This |
W1:184.13 | No one can fail who | seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to |
W1:185.5 | For no one means these words who wants illusions and who therefore | seeks the means which bring illusions. He has looked on them and |
W1:185.5 | illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he | seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer |
W1:185.6 | the means for finding it are given in a form each mind which | seeks for it in honesty can understand. Whatever form the lesson |
W1:185.11 | No one who truly | seeks the peace of God can fail to find it. For he merely asks that |
W1:186.7 | for God relates to you. And as He speaks, the image trembles and | seeks to attack the threat it does not know, sensing its basis |
W1:199.6 | worthy servant of the freedom which the mind within the Holy Spirit | seeks. |
W2:I.4 | in him. Has not His faithfulness earned Him the invitation that He | seeks to make us happy? We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So |
W2:WF.4 | still and quietly does nothing. It offends no aspect of reality nor | seeks to twist it to appearance that it likes. It merely looks and |
W2:WIS.1 | Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the mind is driven mad and | seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it |
W2:WIS.2 | And now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it | seeks for now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement |
W2:325.1 | image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore | seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, |
M:8.2 | importance but is recognized as being untrue. The mind therefore | seeks to make it true out of its intensity of desire to have it for |
M:13.5 | makes him blind. He does not see what he is asking for. And so he | seeks it in a thousand ways and in a thousand places, each time |
M:20.3 | How is this quiet found? No one can fail to find it who but | seeks out its conditions. God's peace can never come where anger is, |
M:21.3 | If he asks for the impossible, if he wants what does not exist or | seeks for illusions in his heart, all this becomes his own. The power |

Tx:1.13 | the temporal order. They are always affirmations of rebirth which | seem to go back but really go forward. They undo the past in the |
Tx:2.16 | the one hand and all kinds of errors on the other. Some miracles may | seem to be of greater magnitude than others. But remember the first |
Tx:3.64 | is why he sees it in nightmares or in pleasant disguises in what | seem to be his happier dreams. Nothing that you have refused to |
Tx:4.58 | This may | seem hard to you, but it is much easier than trying to think against |
Tx:6.27 | ego justifies this on the wholly spurious grounds that it makes you | seem “better” than they are, thus obscuring your equality with them |
Tx:6.35 | idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the idea | seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you that even return is |
Tx:7.12 | the right decision. This is because he has the answer. Conflict can | seem to be interpersonal, but it must be intrapersonal first. |
Tx:7.45 | of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the idea of exceptions | seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful, because they are made |
Tx:7.84 | to preserve conflict. It is very ingenious in devising ways which | seem to diminish conflict, because it does not want you to find |
Tx:7.101 | function is to teach you to tell them apart. However strange it may | seem that this is necessary, it obviously is. The reason is equally |
Tx:7.105 | Sharing His Will with me is not really open to choice, though it may | seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way |
Tx:8.23 | have no power because they are not true. The imprisonment which they | seem to produce is no more true than they are. |
Tx:8.99 | of reality, fear is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only | seem to be fearful. Fear cannot be real without a cause, and God is |
Tx:9.81 | the fearful fact that you made them to replace God. Yet when they | seem to speak to you, remember that nothing can replace God, and |
Tx:9.95 | he is an insane idea. He has many forms, but although he may | seem like many different things he is but one idea—the denial of |
Tx:10.13 | it is possible for God's Will and yours to conflict. God then may | seem to demand of you what you do not want to give and thus deprive |
Tx:10.18 | as love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder will | seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And being |
Tx:11.86 | For this world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws which | seem to govern it are the laws of death. Children are born into it |
Tx:11.86 | their brain, and its powers decline if their bodies are hurt. They | seem to love, yet they desert and are deserted. They appear to lose |
Tx:11.86 | all. And their bodies wither and gasp and are laid in the ground and | seem to be no more. Not one of them but has thought that God is cruel. |
Tx:11.91 | this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And the journey will | seem long and cruel and senseless, for so it is. |
Tx:12.16 | own foundation. In concealment they appear to do so, and thus they | seem to be self-sustained. This is the fundamental illusion on which |
Tx:12.60 | you have denied the other. Both are not true, yet either one will | seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet |
Tx:13.27 | there, he will remember how much his Father loves him. And it will | seem incredible that he has ever thought his Father loved him not and |
Tx:13.53 | to be deceived will merely attack direct approaches, which would | seem but to encroach upon deception and strike at it. |
Tx:13.59 | nothing and from all the works of nothing. The heavy chains which | seem to bind them unto despair they do not see as nothing until you |
Tx:14.47 | You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the world you | seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not true |
Tx:14.50 | [Therefore, it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It will | seem difficult for you to learn that you have no basis at all for |
Tx:14.54 | This is characteristic of the ego's judgments. Separately, they | seem to hold, but put them together and the system of thought which |
Tx:15.4 | system before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must | seem to keep fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it must |
Tx:15.5 | for holding its contradictory aims together so that they | seem to be reconciled. The ego teaches thus: Death is the end as far |
Tx:15.19 | support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception and | seem to provide reasons for not letting it go. Yet they are far |
Tx:15.24 | one which you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson will | seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize |
Tx:15.70 | attack as love. Yet to make guilty is direct attack but does not | seem to be. For the guilty expect attack, and having asked for it, |
Tx:15.72 | Yet they only | seem to be together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that |
Tx:15.97 | away whatever you think and purchase peace. And the payment does not | seem to be yours. While it is obvious that the ego does demand |
Tx:16.12 | To you the miracle cannot | seem natural because what you have done to hurt your minds has made |
Tx:16.42 | with you. Only in time does interference in God's completion | seem to be possible. The bridge that He would carry you across lifts |
Tx:16.43 | and attack all enter into it, broken into by periods in which they | seem to be gone. All these must be understood for what they are. |
Tx:16.45 | of the separation, and those who learn that it is not natural at all | seem to be the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of |
Tx:16.56 | that illusions are not fearful because they are not true. They but | seem to be fearful to the extent to which you fail to recognize them |
Tx:16.74 | In the special relationship, it does not | seem to be an acting out of vengeance which you seek. And even when |
Tx:17.7 | nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that made your heart | seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the |
Tx:17.17 | The shadow figures enter more and more, and the one in whom they | seem to be decreases in importance. |
Tx:17.45 | This is accomplished very rapidly, but it makes the relationship | seem disturbed, disjunctive, and even quite distressing. The reason |
Tx:17.50 | blame each other for the “failure” of your relationship, for it will | seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness will come to |
Tx:17.63 | to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it will | seem to be successful, except that this attempt conflicts with unity |
Tx:18.6 | in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it. When you | seem to see some twisted form of the original error rise to frighten |
Tx:18.18 | come from you. It is the figures in the dream and what they do that | seem to make the dream. You do not realize that you are making them |
Tx:18.18 | would be gone. In dreams these features are not obscure. You | seem to waken, and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail to recognize |
Tx:18.19 | make another world that is not real remains with you. And what you | seem to wake to is but another form of this same world you see in |
Tx:18.51 | by assigning to the mind the properties of the body does separation | seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems to be fragmented and |
Tx:18.65 | but never experienced just now. Only its past and future make it | seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In |
Tx:18.71 | It is only the awareness of the body that makes love | seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief in limited |
Tx:18.72 | into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will always | seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. The body is a |
Tx:18.75 | the strange position in which those in a world inhabited by bodies | seem to be. Each body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected |
Tx:18.86 | From the world of bodies, made by insanity, insane messages | seem to be returned to the mind which made it. And these messages |
Tx:18.91 | you that it is all there. Figures stand out and move about, actions | seem real, and forms appear and shift from loveliness to the |
Tx:19.4 | centered on the body to stand between you. And the body will | seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of healing and |
Tx:19.5 | Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that | seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to |
Tx:19.22 | This is the strange illusion which makes the clouds of guilt | seem heavy and impenetrable. The solidness this world's foundation |
Tx:19.32 | proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation | seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God |
Tx:19.37 | many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. Others will | seem to arise from elsewhere—from your brothers and from various |
Tx:19.52 | decayed and rotted. To them such things are beautiful because they | seem to allay their savage pangs of hunger. For they are frantic with |
Tx:19.69 | no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body will | seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you |
Tx:19.83 | The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it | seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and complete |
Tx:19.93 | See how the belief in death would | seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you fear but life? |
Tx:19.93 | can you fear but life? It is the attraction of death that makes life | seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid of |
Tx:19.100 | compassion but not with fear. For only if they share in it does it | seem fearful, and you do share in it until you look upon each other |
Tx:20.5 | made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to make | seem lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to draw |
Tx:20.50 | fear within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God | seem fearful to you and kept unknown. |
Tx:20.62 | is the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy relationship | seem real. The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose |
Tx:20.64 | is it valued as a separate thing apart from the intention. The means | seem real because the goal is valued. And judgment has no value |
Tx:20.65 | to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him will | seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was your |
Tx:20.71 | little the perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment will | seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who need his strength. |
Tx:20.73 | understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who | seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and |
Tx:21.22 | you gave reality. And what would show you otherwise must therefore | seem unreal. All that is asked of you is to make room for truth. You |
Tx:21.24 | of the power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals | seem real and possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of |
Tx:21.46 | wish to look within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still | seem to shine and catch your eye. Yet you would not “sell” Heaven to |
Tx:21.51 | obvious response to calls for help, the only one It makes. Miracles | seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand how separate |
Tx:21.66 | salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven | seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And yet what madness |
Tx:21.72 | Frantic and loud and strong the dark ones | seem to be. Yet they know not their enemy, except they hate him. In |
Tx:21.76 | that truth may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then, would | seem to be the last remaining hope of finding sin and not accepting |
Tx:21.85 | Are thoughts then dangerous? To bodies, yes! The thoughts that | seem to kill are those which teach the thinker that he can be killed. |
Tx:22.2 | seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not real but seen, | seem justified. And all this would be real if sin were so. For an |
Tx:22.8 | is only fear. Here is the one emotion that you made, whatever it may | seem to be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and |
Tx:22.25 | For only if you would believe His Son could be His enemy does it | seem possible that what you made is yours. You would condemn His joy |
Tx:22.39 | It is but the first few steps along the right way that | seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think you can |
Tx:22.50 | but rests on the belief that you are separate. Not one that does not | seem to stand, heavy and solid and immovable, between you and your |
Tx:22.60 | place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so will it | seem to be. |
Tx:22.63 | you are different. From the position of what you understand, you | seem to be and therefore can attack. Of the alternatives, this seems |
Tx:23.8 | it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and will | seem to have replaced love there. This is the conflict's purpose. And |
Tx:23.8 | purpose. And to those who think that it is possible, the means | seem real. |
Tx:23.9 | impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You | seem to meet and make your strange alliances on grounds that have no |
Tx:23.20 | this is justified because the values differ and those who hold them | seem to be unlike and therefore enemies. |
Tx:23.31 | These are the principles which make the ground beneath your feet | seem solid. And it is here you look for meaning. These are the laws |
Tx:23.33 | These do not | seem to be the goals of chaos, for by the great reversal, they appear |
Tx:23.34 | that one of them is true sees what it says. Some forms it takes | seem to have meaning, and that is all. |
Tx:23.38 | laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their forms conflict, making it | seem quite possible to value some above the others. Yet each one |
Tx:23.42 | Is death in any form, however lovely and charitable it may | seem to be, a blessing and a sign the Voice for God speaks through |
Tx:23.51 | perspective be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it does | seem real. Here you have chosen to be part of it. Here murder is your |
Tx:24.6 | only sets apart but serves as grounds from which attack on those who | seem “beneath” the special one is “natural” and “just.” The special |
Tx:24.22 | Him. And only specialness could make the truth of God and you as one | seem anything but Heaven and the hope of peace at last in sight. |
Tx:24.24 | The hope of specialness makes it | seem possible God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His |
Tx:24.27 | thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it | seem to split you off from God and make you separate from Him as its |
Tx:24.41 | —however hidden or disguised the form; however lovely it may | seem to be; however much it delicately offers the hope of peace and |
Tx:24.53 | your brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that | seem to rule this world. See in his freedom yours, for such it is. |
Tx:24.69 | down until its purpose has been understood. Perception does not | seem to be a means. And it is this that makes it hard to grasp the |
Tx:25.35 | it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you now will | seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go farther |
Tx:25.50 | on its changelessness the world depends. The magic of the world can | seem to hide the pain of sin from sinners and deceive with glitter |
Tx:26.12 | and time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one | seem different from the rest. Think not the limits you impose on what |
Tx:26.30 | A little hindrance can | seem large indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are |
Tx:26.49 | reality must be. Ideas leave not their source, and their effects but | seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What is projected |
Tx:26.52 | impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real has made some errors | seem forever past the hope of healing and the lasting grounds for |
Tx:26.56 | for Heaven as a preference to this world which death and desolation | seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation rise within you to |
Tx:26.59 | why. Effects are seen as separate from their source and | seem to be beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept |
Tx:26.62 | And from their purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they | seem to have. God gave to all illusions that were made another |
Tx:26.70 | interval between the time in which forgiveness is withheld and given | seem dangerous, with terror justified. |
Tx:26.73 | Yet the acceptance of the working out can | seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought |
Tx:27.23 | [In a split mind, identity must | seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive a function unified which |
Tx:27.24 | the one you cherish and you think is yours. Thus does your function | seem divided, with a half in opposition to a half. And these two |
Tx:27.47 | be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the world indeed | seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it |
Tx:27.52 | him, and beyond each one there are a thousand more. Each one may | seem to have a problem which is different from the rest. Yet they are |
Tx:27.68 | he does not see the part he plays in making them and making them | seem real. |
Tx:27.80 | he gave them their effects by causing them and making them | seem real. |
Tx:27.84 | but without their trifling cause. Without the cause do its effects | seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their |
Tx:27.89 | heed at all. For they attest the thing you do not want to know. They | seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but learn you choose |
Tx:28.8 | He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its consequences will indeed | seem new because you thought that you remembered not their Cause. Yet |
Tx:28.25 | much of the dream; the world is neutral, and the bodies which still | seem to move about as separate things need not be feared. And so they |
Tx:28.30 | illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all things that | seem to glisten in the dream. |
Tx:28.39 | mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His body and his dreams but | seem to make a little gap, where yours have joined with his. |
Tx:28.45 | of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the broken pieces | seem to take mean nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every |
Tx:28.49 | upon an alien ground which your Creator did not make and where you | seem to be a “something” you are not. You will make war upon your |
Tx:29.3 | this one still remains to block your path and make the way to light | seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your |
Tx:29.4 | separate until you both elect to meet again. And then your bodies | seem to get in touch and signify a meeting-place to join. But always |
Tx:29.10 | an easy path, so clearly marked it is impossible to lose the way, | seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult for you to follow? Is it |
Tx:29.16 | change with time, with sickness or with health, and with events that | seem to alter it. Yet this but means the mind remains unchanged in |
Tx:29.29 | else. Perceptions are determined by their purpose in that they | seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a |
Tx:29.36 | him instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it | seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit |
Tx:29.62 | So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the dream will | seem to last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who judges |
Tx:29.65 | to the toys instead. And their reality becomes his own because they | seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet do they keep his thoughts |
Tx:29.66 | who does not know what hurts and what will heal. And bad things | seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a world he |
Tx:30.44 | Thoughts | seem to come and go. Yet all this means is that you are sometimes |
Tx:30.51 | he made for his enjoyment. So there still are rules which they can | seem to break and frighten him. Yet is he at the mercy of his toys? |
Tx:30.52 | All illusions that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They | seem to dance a little while, according to the rules you set for |
Tx:30.91 | What is temptation but a wish to make illusions real? It does not | seem to be the wish that no reality be so. Yet it is an assertion |
Tx:31.34 | it is here that all its roads will lead, however differently they | seem to start, however differently they seem to go. Their end is |
Tx:31.34 | however differently they seem to start, however differently they | seem to go. Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. |
Tx:31.35 | 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:31.39 | away from it. This makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who | seem to find this course to be too difficult to learn, let me repeat |

W1:99.7 | of their form, their size, their depth, or any attribute they | seem to have: |
W1:106.1 | If you will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may | seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you |
W1:109.1 | of clashing dreams. We ask for safety and for happiness, although we | seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that |

W1:136.5 | of the part you play in making your “reality” which makes defenses | seem to be beyond your own control. But what you have forgot can be |
W1:136.6 | make facts unrecognizable. They aim at doing this, and this they | seem to do. Every defense takes fragments of the whole, assembles |

W1:138.2 | this strange perception of the truth that makes the choice of Heaven | seem to be the same as the relinquishment of hell. It is not really |
W1:139.2 | himself? Only refusal to accept yourself could make the question | seem to be sincere. The only thing that can be surely known by any |
W1:139.13 | the holy Son of God. And learn the fragile nature of the chains that | seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness, as |
W1:151.2 | You do not | seem to doubt the world you see. You do not really question what is |
W1:152.4 | truth appears to have some aspects that belie consistency but do not | seem to be but contradictions introduced by you. |
W1:152.6 | accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a world where such things | seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a world |
W1:153.2 | but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger makes attack | seem reasonable, honestly provoked, and righteous in the name of self |

W1:161.4 | Do these words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they | seem to be but empty sounds, pretty, perhaps; correct in sentiment, |
W1:163.2 | the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the thought of death | seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things within its |
W1:165.1 | What makes this world | seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies beyond? What |
W1:170.4 | depriving you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which | seem wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; |
W1:182.1 | This world you | seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you |
W1:185.7 | vain, requesting the eternal in the place of shifting dreams which | seem to change in what they offer, but are one in nothingness. |
W1:185.10 | You want the peace of God. And so do all who | seem to seek for dreams. For them as well as for yourself you ask but |
W1:186.3 | Today's idea may | seem quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says is that |
W1:186.8 | another for ourselves. Our self-made roles are shifting, and they | seem to change from mourner to ecstatic bliss of loved and loving. We |

W1:191.2 | of frailty within you and without, no breath you draw that does not | seem to bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but will dissolve in |

M:5.5 | himself. The outcome is what he decides that it is. Special agents | seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own |
M:8.3 | Where do all these differences come from? Certainly they | seem to be in the world outside. Yet it is surely the mind that |

M:11.1 | to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that | seem impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised peace. It has |
M:11.4 | judgment of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace | seem impossible. It is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has |

Tx:18.24 | sleep. Each dream has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which | seemed to bring a light into the darkness but made the darkness |
Tx:19.46 | no purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it | seemed to have a mighty purpose; the fixed and unchangeable |
Tx:19.47 | remnant of the belief in sin, is all that remains of what once | seemed to be the world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to |
Tx:19.94 | the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting fear | seemed to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice of |
Tx:20.25 | your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He | seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness remained |
Tx:20.52 | that the mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy | seemed to be possible, all your relationships were made meaningless. |
Tx:20.52 | to house the mad idea and give it the illusion of reality. And so it | seemed to have a home that held together for a little while in time |
Tx:20.77 | When you have looked on what | seemed terrifying and seen it change to sights of loveliness and |

W1:76.1 | We have observed before how many senseless things have | seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you with laws as |
W1:158.9 | not what form they took nor how enormous they appeared to be nor who | seemed to be hurt by them. They are no more, and all effects they |
W1:158.9 | seemed to be hurt by them. They are no more, and all effects they | seemed to have are gone with them, undone and never to be done. |
W1:R5.12 | your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion | seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world that it is free of |
W1:183.3 | Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it | seemed to stand you find a star; a miracle of grace. The sick arise, |
W1:184.15 | 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 of every |

W1:196.10 | could be directed outward and returned from outside to within. It | seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a god outside |
W1:198.1 | and unreal. Then does illusion cease to have effects, and all it | seemed to have will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your |

Tx:7.29 | are hardly the same. You who are the Kingdom are not concerned with | seeming. Reality is yours, because you are reality. This is how |
Tx:11.80 | God would reunite you with yourself and did not abandon you in your | seeming distress. You are waiting only for Him and do not know it. |
Tx:13.47 | that they cannot be seen but in illusions, for there alone their | seeming clearness seems to be clearly seen. Let us now turn away from |
Tx:14.58 | of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For power is not a | seeming strength, and truth is beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all |
Tx:16.24 | change them. Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there. And the | seeming conflict between truth and illusion can only be resolved by |
Tx:17.11 | searching of the mind that made this world and uncover to you the | seeming reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason |
Tx:18.60 | respective positions in space, and of your differences in size and | seeming quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with something |
Tx:18.87 | bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit through | seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and leave you there. |
Tx:19.6 | if the mind is limited to the body and divided into little parts of | seeming wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the |
Tx:19.41 | you? Would you let a little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny | seeming barrier, stand between your brothers and salvation? And yet, |
Tx:19.47 | be more unstable than a tightly-organized delusional system? Its | seeming stability is its pervasive weakness, which extends to |
Tx:19.70 | you think you are can never be apart from it. The body is the great | seeming betrayer of faith. In it lies disillusionment and the seeds |
Tx:19.84 | end of conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your | seeming love for death that peace must flow across seems to be very |
Tx:19.88 | or falsity of the idea which they reflect. Confronted with such | seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember the holy |
Tx:19.96 | impulse to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of | seeming death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from |
Tx:19.107 | other freedom and complete release from sin here in the garden of | seeming agony and death. So will we prepare together the way unto the |
Tx:20.28 | because the Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their | seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without |
Tx:20.32 | release from sin you offered him. To each who walks this earth in | seeming solitude is a savior given, whose special function here is to |
Tx:20.36 | to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one | seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need |
Tx:20.51 | body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the | seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen. |
Tx:20.53 | and leave no trace behind their going. The unholy instant of their | seeming power is frail as is a snowflake, but without its loveliness. |
Tx:20.53 | beneficence? Is the malevolence of the unholy relationship, so | seeming powerful and so bitterly misunderstood and so invested in a |
Tx:20.56 | The holy instant is of greater value now to you than its unholy | seeming counterpart, and you have learned you really want but one. |
Tx:20.58 | direct, this course has nothing in it that is not consistent. The | seeming inconsistencies or parts you find more difficult than others |
Tx:20.74 | values. Yet they are all the same. Again there is no order but a | seeming hierarchy of values. |
Tx:21.25 | the cause of the effect and make effect appear to be a cause. This | seeming independence of effect enables it to be regarded as standing |
Tx:21.28 | effects are gone because its source has been uncovered. It is its | seeming independence of its source that kept you prisoner. This is |
Tx:21.29 | as their goal. For they are bargains with reality, toward which the | seeming union is adjusted. Forget not this—to bargain is to set a |
Tx:22.12 | in separate ones. Yet must He be reborn into His ancient home, so | seeming new and yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the |
Tx:22.18 | confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be sure indeed that any | seeming happiness that does not last is really fear. Joy does not |
Tx:22.45 | truth when only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones in this | seeming conflict. And you need no defense. Everything that needs |
Tx:23.4 | you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a little sigh of | seeming sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's attraction. Would you, |
Tx:23.27 | law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be true. This | seeming law is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, |
Tx:23.33 | not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has no laws. To be believed, its | seeming laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be |
Tx:23.38 | completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are true. The | seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less certain in their |
Tx:24.10 | perspective can the special have that does not change with every | seeming blow, each slight, or fancied judgment on itself? |
Tx:26.1 | desperate attempts to strike a bargain, and all conflicts achieve a | seeming balance. It is the symbol of the central theme that somebody |
Tx:26.1 | and you will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All | seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a little farther off |
Tx:26.2 | and total lack of joining. Around each entity is built a wall so | seeming solid that it looks as if what is inside can never reach |
Tx:26.42 | past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each life—a | seeming interval from birth to death and on to life again, a |
Tx:27.73 | his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so | seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of |
Tx:29.8 | by learning that the body is not real. And there are overtones of | seeming fear around the happy message, “God is love.” |
Tx:29.41 | it has no use. Its purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held | seeming sway is now restored the function God established for His Son |
Tx:31.10 | How wrong are you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each | seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and |
Tx:31.15 | at all. The leader and the follower emerge as separate roles, each | seeming to possess advantages you would not want to lose. So in their |
W1:12.5 | cross your mind are suitable subjects for today's exercises. Their | seeming quality does not matter. |
W1:50.3 | you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all | seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell |
W1:70.2 | The | seeming “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that |
W1:91.2 | You cannot use it because its presence is unknown to you. And the | seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless. |
W1:107.5 | on in every need and trusted with a perfect trust in all the | seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the world |
W1:108.1 | depends upon today's idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all | seeming opposites. And what is light except the resolution, born of |
W1:R3.5 | about them while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your | seeming problems, and all your concerns. |
W1:135.27 | is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise again from what was | seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in |
W1:140.6 | It is not a thought which judges an illusion by its size, its | seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It |
W1:151.1 | judgment. It is merely an opinion based on ignorance and doubt. Its | seeming certainty is but a cloak for the uncertainty it would |
W1:153.1 | provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all its “gifts” of | seeming safety are illusory deceptions. It attacks and then attacks |
W1:164.3 | you give to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all your | seeming sins forgot and all your sorrows unremembered. On this day is |
W1:169.2 | Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of | seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for |
W1:170.10 | to peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing and a | seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, |
W1:181.1 | of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his | seeming sins as well as yours. |
W1:193.14 | We will attempt today to overcome a thousand | seeming obstacles to peace in just one day. Let mercy come to you |
W1:195.5 | —the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a | seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who |
W1:198.7 | This world has many | seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and attack appears |
W1:R6.2 | if understood, practiced, accepted, and applied to all the | seeming happenings throughout the day. One is enough. But for that |

Tx:7.19 | The non-maximal only appears to have a range. This is because it | seems to be meaningful to measure it from the maximum and identify |
Tx:7.29 | you are accepting conflict as your choice. Is it really a choice? It | seems to be, but seeming and reality are hardly the same. You who are |
Tx:7.48 | This does place you in a position of needing to learn a lesson which | seems contradictory—you must learn to change your mind about your |
Tx:7.62 | When you believe what God does not know, your thought | seems to contradict His, and this makes it appear as if you are |
Tx:8.2 | when the ego asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego | seems to interfere with your learning, but the ego has no power to |
Tx:8.59 | was made flesh.” Strictly speaking this is impossible, since it | seems to involve the translation of one order of reality into |
Tx:8.71 | The body exists in a world which | seems to contain two voices which are fighting for its possession. In |
Tx:8.90 | will is not the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What | seems to be the fear of God is really only the fear of your own |
Tx:9.16 | place the ego in a very sound position as the guide for yours. It | seems absurd to have to emphasize repeatedly that the ego's |
Tx:9.16 | as a teacher of salvation. Yet this question, ridiculous as it | seems, is really the crucial issue in the whole separation fantasy. |
Tx:9.32 | It | seems to you that the Holy Spirit does not produce joy consistently |
Tx:9.66 | When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel better because loving | seems possible to you, but you do not remember yet that it once was |
Tx:10.49 | Your recognition that whatever | seems to separate you from God is only fear, regardless of the form |
Tx:11.91 | in the past, but there is no past. Always has no direction. Time | seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it will |
Tx:12.13 | love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real power | seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not control your |
Tx:12.13 | world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then, | seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and |
Tx:13.3 | must be taken by God because the last step in your redemption, which | seems to be in the future, was accomplished by God in your creation. |
Tx:13.17 | you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world | seems dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a dark veil over it |
Tx:13.47 | be seen but in illusions, for there alone their seeming clearness | seems to be clearly seen. Let us now turn away from them and follow |
Tx:13.66 | here, as creating is being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt | seems to attract you, remember that, if you yield to it, you are |
Tx:13.92 | being carried along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition | seems to make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit will not delay at all in |
Tx:14.27 | But if one is kept in darkness from the other, their separation | seems to keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their |
Tx:14.42 | are seen in light. In darkness they are obscure, and their meaning | seems to lie only in shifting interpretations rather than in |
Tx:14.49 | of Heaven, while others are motivated by the ego, which but | seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing pattern which never |
Tx:15.2 | It does not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste that time | seems to bring with it is due but to your identification with the |
Tx:15.66 | no hold at all, except that no one recognizes it. For the ego always | seems to attract through love and has no attraction at all to anyone |
Tx:15.71 | In these insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not want | seems to be much stronger than the attraction of what you do. For |
Tx:15.72 | it does not object where the mind goes or what it thinks, for this | seems unimportant. As long as the body is there to receive its |
Tx:15.73 | other. For they believe that this decreases it in them. The other | seems always to be attacking and wounding them, perhaps in little |
Tx:15.77 | even this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what | seems impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not |
Tx:15.84 | one. He will do this because it is His function. Leave, then, what | seems to you to be impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible |
Tx:15.95 | in perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It | seems like many, but it is all the same. For though the ego takes |
Tx:15.97 | While it is obvious that the ego does demand payment, it never | seems to be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to recognize |
Tx:15.98 | demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego | seems to demand less of you than God, and of the two is judged as the |
Tx:15.99 | will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but | seems to offer kindness, but always to make the sacrifice complete. |
Tx:15.104 | where your invitation bids them be. What you excluded from yourself | seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out |
Tx:16.34 | no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the instant the choice | seems to be one between illusions, for this choice does not matter. |
Tx:16.36 | exactly what it is you think you can do to solve the dilemma, which | seems very real to you, but which does not exist. You have come very |
Tx:16.39 | are the veil behind which truth is hidden. To lift the veil which | seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all |
Tx:16.40 | Would you not go through fear to love? For such the journey | seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the |
Tx:16.50 | self the ego seeks is always one that is more special. And whoever | seems to possess a special self is “loved” for what can be taken from |
Tx:16.64 | is a period of confusion in which a sense of actual disorientation | seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means nothing more than that |
Tx:16.68 | over will be the understanding of where Heaven is. From here it | seems to be outside and across the bridge. Yet as you cross to join |
Tx:17.16 | by which you arrive at the remembrance may be, attracts you and | seems to you to go by the name of love. And finally why all such |
Tx:17.18 | the more the fantasies can encompass, the greater the satisfaction | seems to be. |
Tx:17.32 | terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the special relationship still | seems to you somehow to be “different.” Yet we have looked at it far |
Tx:17.39 | you search it out amid its wrappings. As each senseless stone which | seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to light, it |
Tx:17.45 | condition, your goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it | seems to make no sense. Many relationships have been broken off at |
Tx:17.46 | and accepted as the only way out of the conflict, the relationship | seems to be severely strained. |
Tx:17.48 | has taken under His guidance? Have faith in each other in what but | seems to be a trying time. The goal is set. And your relationship has |
Tx:17.55 | purpose that has been accepted and the means as they stand now which | seems to make you suffer, but which makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were |
Tx:17.59 | a clear cut positive goal, set at the outset, the situation just | seems to happen and makes no sense until it has already happened. |
Tx:17.62 | This is inevitable. No one will fail in anything. This | seems to ask for faith beyond you and beyond what you can give. Yet |
Tx:17.63 | Confronted with any aspect of the situation which | seems to be difficult, the ego will attempt to take this aspect |
Tx:17.77 | the call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His call | seems to be greater than before. This is not so. Before, the strain |
Tx:18.2 | God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything | seems to come between the fragmented relationships the ego sponsors |
Tx:18.3 | replacement. Fear is both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It | seems to take many forms, and each seems to require a different form |
Tx:18.3 | and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take many forms, and each | seems to require a different form of acting out for satisfaction. |
Tx:18.14 | Does not a world that | seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is |
Tx:18.16 | you order. No limit on substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it | seems as if the world were given you, to make it what you will. You |
Tx:18.17 | in which you literally scream, “I want it thus!” And thus it | seems to be. And yet the dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and |
Tx:18.18 | that it is real. Yet here is a world, clearly within your mind, that | seems to be outside. You do not respond to it as though you made it, |
Tx:18.25 | goal of knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. Fear | seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have stepped |
Tx:18.51 | of the body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that | seems to be fragmented and private and alone. Its guilt, which keeps |
Tx:18.51 | the body to act them out. Yet it is never what the body does that | seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the body is actually |
Tx:18.57 | The body is outside you, and but | seems to surround you, shutting you off from others and keeping you |
Tx:18.60 | This can occur regardless of the physical distance which | seems to be between you and what you join, of your respective |
Tx:18.75 | in which those in a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body | seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone |
Tx:18.75 | joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment | seems to be self-contained, needing each other for some things but by |
Tx:18.83 | it is over. You are still worn and tired and the desert's dust still | seems to cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you |
Tx:18.84 | Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought that | seems split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest |
Tx:18.88 | The circle of fear lies just below the level the body sees and | seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is based. Here |
Tx:18.89 | that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion which | seems to make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real |
Tx:18.90 | floor which looks like rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that | seems to be a solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance |
Tx:19.8 | protecting the body by hiding this connection, for this concealment | seems to keep your identification safe from the “attack” of truth. |
Tx:19.9 | wrought by your faithlessness. For faithlessness is an attack which | seems to be justified by its results. For by withholding faith, you |
Tx:19.22 | seem heavy and impenetrable. The solidness this world's foundation | seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an |
Tx:19.29 | Time is like a downward spiral which | seems to travel down from a long, unbroken line along another plane |
Tx:19.29 | or interferes with its smooth continuousness. Along the spiral, it | seems as if the line must have been broken. Yet at the line, its |
Tx:19.29 | by the drop into another plane at all. Yet from the plane, the line | seems discontinuous. And this is but an error in perception which can |
Tx:19.32 | leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of separation | seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to be split |
Tx:19.34 | see it long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it when it | seems to be seen, and it becomes invisible. And errors are quickly |
Tx:19.41 | What do you think that it must dispossess to dwell with you? What | seems to be the cost you are so unwilling to pay? The little barrier |
Tx:19.42 | contain behind your little barrier and keep separate from each other | seems mightier than the universe, for it would hold back the universe |
Tx:19.44 | Guilt can raise no real barriers against it. And all that | seems to stand between you must fall away because of the appeal you |
Tx:19.77 | peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What | seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, |
Tx:19.83 | principle in a course on miracles than by showing you the one which | seems to be the hardest can be accomplished first? The body can but |
Tx:19.84 | obstacle of your seeming love for death that peace must flow across | seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden all the ego's secrets, |
Tx:19.88 | When anything | seems to you to be a source of fear, when any situation strikes you |
Tx:19.91 | to meet Him and to join with Him at last. For this dark veil, which | seems to make the face of Christ Himself like to a leper's and the |
Tx:19.92 | you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God | seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the fear |
Tx:19.96 | It | seems to you the world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your |
Tx:19.99 | without a purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it | seems to make no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you |
Tx:19.101 | This brother who stands beside you still | seems to be a stranger. You do not know him, and your interpretation |
Tx:19.101 | of him is very fearful. And you attack him still, to keep what | seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your salvation. |
Tx:20.20 | Yet it was you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness | seems to look back at you, it can be corrected. |
Tx:20.35 | much that must be done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this | seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God |
Tx:20.52 | relationship is no relationship. It is a state of isolation which | seems to be what it is not. No more than that. The instant that the |
Tx:20.55 | in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces what | seems to be a wall of flesh around the mind, keeping it prisoner in a |
Tx:20.55 | and grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy instant | seems to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, |
Tx:20.65 | eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this purpose | seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment will be |
Tx:20.74 | but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This world | seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with different |
Tx:20.75 | which the outside world, projected from within, adjusts to sin and | seems to witness to its reality. It still is true that nothing is |
Tx:21.15 | and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything that | seems to happen to me, I asked for and received as I had asked. |
Tx:21.17 | power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he | seems to find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance |
Tx:21.21 | your altars and which you worship. And anything which threatens this | seems to attack your faith, for here is it invested. Think not that |
Tx:21.22 | you have set up your idols to something else. This other will, which | seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And what would |
Tx:21.25 | desire. The Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he | seems to be the cause, producing real effects. Nothing can have |
Tx:21.28 | and you deny your whole reality. But grant that everything which | seems to stand between you, keeping you from each other and separate |
Tx:21.41 | but witnesses to your desire that it be there to see. This merely | seems to be the source of fear. |
Tx:21.60 | private thoughts? And how could thoughts that enter into what but | seems like yours alone have no effect at all on what is yours? If |
Tx:21.72 | is turned to hate as easily. This is no army, but a madhouse. What | seems to be a planned attack is bedlam. |
Tx:21.76 | the first three questions but not yet the last. For this one still | seems fearful and unlike the others. Yet reason would assure you they |
Tx:21.76 | This final question, which is indeed the last you need decide, still | seems to hold a threat the rest have lost for you. And this imagined |
Tx:22.1 | in the other yet believed by each to be within himself. And each one | seems to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand. |
Tx:22.5 | in without a plan of any kind except to wander off, for only that | seems certain. |
Tx:22.16 | are the same. Both bring the same amount of misery, though each one | seems to be the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every |
Tx:22.37 | awareness. In an unholy relationship, each one is valued because he | seems to justify the other's sin. He sees within the other what |
Tx:22.38 | decision, but he can delay. And there is no part of the journey that | seems more hopeless and futile than standing where the road branches |
Tx:22.42 | And each will be the other's strong protector from everything that | seems to rise between you. So shall you walk the world with me, whose |
Tx:22.44 | and give as you received. Standing before the veil, it still | seems difficult. But hold out your joined hands and touch this |
Tx:22.49 | you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This body only | seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in truth. What, |
Tx:22.50 | this must happen. For it is your unwillingness to overlook what | seems to stand between you that makes it look impenetrable and |
Tx:22.60 | this error came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that | seems to keep the fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a |
Tx:22.61 | And you must think that they are separate because of fear. For it | seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack the great |
Tx:22.62 | to attack to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it | seems as if love could attack and become fearful. |
Tx:22.63 | you seem to be and therefore can attack. Of the alternatives, this | seems more natural and more in line with your experience. And |
Tx:23.15 | conflict of illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it | seems real only as long as it is seen as war between conflicting |
Tx:23.21 | Think how this | seems to interfere with the first principle of miracles. For this |
Tx:23.23 | Think what this | seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the Son. Now |
Tx:23.24 | mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous belief that | seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, then He |
Tx:23.25 | is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the Son, whose every aspect | seems to be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And now is |
Tx:23.26 | can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And God Himself | seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego |
Tx:23.34 | function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it | seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel belief but for the |
Tx:23.37 | be. In any state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it | seems like life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what |
Tx:23.39 | the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it follows that it | seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in ordered thought. |
Tx:23.44 | This course is easy just because it makes no compromise. Yet it | seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is |
Tx:23.47 | on truth, and every one does violence to the idea of love because it | seems to be of equal truth. |
Tx:23.55 | fought for on the battleground is of the body—something it | seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything |
Tx:24.1 | be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what illusion that idly | seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is Their |
Tx:24.3 | choose for love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it | seems to have. |
Tx:24.15 | listen to. And that vast song of honor and of love for what you are | seems silent and unheard before its “mightiness.” You strain your |
Tx:24.20 | Yet it is not illusions which have reached this final obstacle that | seems to make God and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be |
Tx:24.27 | You would protect what God created not. And yet this idol that | seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have given your |
Tx:24.28 | rests on nothing never can be stable. However large and overblown it | seems to be, it still must rock and turn and whirl about with every |
Tx:24.55 | Yet will you choose in countless situations and through time which | seems to have no end until the truth be your decision. For eternity |
Tx:24.69 | extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. Perception | seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to what you |
Tx:24.70 | a different light, and it looks different. And without a light, it | seems that it is gone. Yet you are reassured that it is there because |
Tx:25.4 | Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the body merely | seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And so it must |
Tx:25.6 | for means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what | seems to have a life apart has none. |
Tx:25.7 | you stand there, before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that | seems to keep you separate and apart. |
Tx:25.30 | has perfect power to offset the world of violence and hate that | seems to stand between you and His gentleness. It is not there in His |
Tx:25.37 | and aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless alone, but | seems to draw a meaning from the other. Each depends upon the other |
Tx:25.37 | from the other. Each depends upon the other for whatever sense it | seems to have. And no one could believe in one unless the other were |
Tx:25.44 | Eyes become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day | seems painful to the eyes grown long accustomed to the dim effects |
Tx:25.44 | sunlight and the clarity it brings to what they look upon. Dimness | seems better—easier to see and better recognized. Somehow, the |
Tx:25.44 | to see and better recognized. Somehow, the vague and more obscure | seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is |
Tx:25.60 | the underlying tenet God must be insane. For in this world, it | seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were true, |
Tx:25.69 | cloak? And what escape has He for them except a door to hell that | seems to look like Heaven's gate? |
Tx:26.10 | aspects which need solving do not change, whatever form the problem | seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, and it will do so |
Tx:26.11 | They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the form it | seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a |
Tx:26.17 | Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that | seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will merely fall |
Tx:26.23 | over-complicated world. For no one understands what is the same and | seems to choose where no choice really is. The real world is the area |
Tx:26.40 | back and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past | seems real, as if it were the present. Voices from the past are heard |
Tx:26.48 | its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from truth, it | seems to have a meaning and be real. |
Tx:26.49 | 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 effect |
Tx:26.51 | God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any wish that | seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the truth. |
Tx:26.69 | you think lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift | seems to be one in which you sacrifice and suffer loss. You see |
Tx:26.73 | told that everything brings good that comes from God. And yet it | seems as if this is not so. Good in disaster's form is difficult to |
Tx:27.4 | merciless to everyone, and in contagion do they seek to kill. Death | seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, brother; at your |
Tx:27.24 | Him only half your mind. And thus He represents the other half and | seems to have a different purpose from the one you cherish and you |
Tx:27.55 | the cost of pain.” These witnesses are joined by many more. Each one | seems different because it has a different name, and so it seems to |
Tx:27.55 | Each one seems different because it has a different name, and so it | seems to answer to a different sound. Except for this, the witnesses |
Tx:27.64 | could fail to see it does not follow, and it makes no sense. Yet it | seems sensible because it looks as if the world were hurting you. And |
Tx:27.64 | because it looks as if the world were hurting you. And so it | seems as if there is no need to go beyond the obvious in terms of |
Tx:27.65 | looked at thus, the world provides the means by which this purpose | seems to be fulfilled. |
Tx:27.79 | nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms and | seems to show a great variety of places and events wherein its “hero” |
Tx:27.86 | the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth. Whatever | seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is |
Tx:28.5 | is for. Like to the body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it | seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and offers you the pictures of |
Tx:28.24 | be feared. Nor will the call to wakening be heard, because it | seems to be the call to fear. |
Tx:28.31 | ill because it is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it | seems to give a cause to sickness which is not its cause. The purpose |
Tx:28.42 | are confused, for in the gap no stable self exists. What is the same | seems different because what is the same appears to be unlike. His |
Tx:28.49 | a “something” you are not. You will make war upon your Self, which | seems to be your enemy, and will attack your brother as a part of |
Tx:28.56 | It hears your voice. And it is frail and little by your wish. It | seems to punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations |
Tx:28.62 | sets you spinning round, to grasp uncertainly at any straw that | seems to hold some promise of relief. Yet who can build his home upon |
Tx:28.63 | the choice cannot be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness | seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are |
Tx:28.64 | mean you are apart, and if you are, you cannot but be sick. This | seems to prove that you must be apart. Yet all it means is that you |
Tx:28.64 | faithlessness is sickness. It is like the house set upon straw. It | seems to be quite solid and substantial in itself. Yet its stability |
Tx:29.4 | you is not one of space between two separate bodies. This but | seems to be dividing off your separate minds. It is the symbol of a |
Tx:29.7 | present, sometimes gone. Thus is love seen as treacherous because it | seems to come and go uncertainly and offer no stability to you. You |
Tx:29.15 | nothing else it rests upon. Its basis does not change, although it | seems to be in constant change. Yet what is that except the state |
Tx:29.18 | attacked because its nothingness has not been recognized. And so it | seems to be a thing with power in itself. As something, it can be |
Tx:29.26 | For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it | seems to take. The fear is seen within, without, or both. Or it can |
Tx:29.39 | He is the only thing in all the universe that must be one. What | seems eternal all will have an end. The stars will disappear, and |
Tx:29.54 | oppose the Christ and fall before His face like a dark veil which | seems to shut you off from Him, alone in darkness. Yet the light is |
Tx:29.54 | A cloud does not put out the sun. No more a veil can banish what it | seems to separate nor darken by one whit the light itself. |
Tx:29.56 | What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed before it | seems to come to life and given power that it may be feared. Its life |
Tx:30.29 | day with the determination not to make decisions by yourself. This | seems to be a real decision in itself. And yet, you cannot make |
Tx:30.51 | is not there is filled with toys in countless forms. And each one | seems to break the rules you set for it. It never was the thing you |
Tx:30.73 | to keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is just, it | seems impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God |
Tx:30.75 | can this be except a false forgiveness of yourself and everyone who | seems apart from you? |
Tx:31.4 | of learning—an enormity so great the Holy Spirit's Voice | seems small and still before its magnitude. The world began with one |
Tx:31.14 | Let us review again what | seems to stand between you and the truth of what you are. For there |
Tx:31.33 | should this be? Because it is a place where choice among illusions | seems to be the only choice. And you are in control of outcomes of |
Tx:31.36 | is but begun with this. Seek not another signpost in the world which | seems to point to still another road. No longer look for hope where |
Tx:31.44 | the aspect acted on. It is this face that smiles and charms and even | seems to love. It searches for companions, and it looks at times with |

W1:11.1 | correction process—the reversal of the thinking of the world. It | seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today's idea |

W1:44.11 | Throughout the day, repeat the idea often with eyes open or closed as | seems better to you at the time. Do not forget. Above all, be |
W1:68.2 | realize just what holding grievances does to your awareness. It | seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It |

W1:72.2 | is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it is this wish which | seems to surround the mind with a body, keeping it separate and alone |
W1:74.9 | If there is one conflict area which | seems particularly difficult to resolve, single it out for special |
W1:75.13 | Should you be tempted, say to anyone who | seems to pull you back to darkness: |
W1:79.2 | Everyone in this world | seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the same and |
W1:79.3 | about what the problem is. A long series of different problems | seems to confront you, and as one is settled the next one and the |
W1:79.3 | you, and as one is settled the next one and the next arise. There | seems to be no end to them. There is no time in which you feel |
W1:79.4 | the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. The world | seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a |
W1:79.10 | not deceived by the form of problems today. Whenever any difficulty | seems to rise, tell yourself quickly: |

W1:94.9 | you are as God created you. And be sure to respond to anyone who | seems to irritate you with these words: |
W1:105.12 | Determine not to interfere today with what He wills. And if a brother | seems to tempt you to deny God's gift to him, see it as but another |
W1:109.8 | restored to walk with lightened steps along the road that suddenly | seems easy as they go. |
W1:121.1 | your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world which | seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers |
W1:121.10 | longer practice periods by thinking of someone you do not like, who | seems to irritate you or to cause regret in you if you should meet |
W1:124.8 | with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime today, whenever it | seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that you are one |
W1:126.2 | Let us consider what you do believe in place of this idea. It | seems to you that other people are apart from you and able to behave |
W1:127.7 | in which you now believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that | seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by anyone who does not hold |
W1:133.1 | there is benefit, particularly after you have gone through what | seems theoretical and far from what the student has already learned, |

W1:138.4 | you when there is really only one to make. And even this but | seems to be a choice. Do not confuse yourself with all the doubts |
W1:151.1 | needs irrational defense because it is irrational. And its defense | seems strong, convincing, and without a doubt because of all the |

W1:167.7 | sleeping. It is not its opposite in anything created nor in what it | seems to make when it believes it sleeps. |
W1:167.9 | What | seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When the mind |

W1:187.1 | giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What | seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that |

W1:187.5 | for each will have the thought in form most helpful to him. What he | seems to lose is always something he will value less than what will |
W1:192.9 | as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus does each one who | seems to tempt you to be angry represent your savior from the |
W1:194.4 | be one to you. Yet in this world the temporal progression still | seems real. And so you are not asked to understand the lack of |
W1:195.1 | better off than others. And they try to be content because another | seems to suffer more than they. How pitiful and deprecating are such |
W1:195.4 | is more slave than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he | seems freer. Love makes no comparisons. And gratitude can only be |
W1:196.10 | There is an instant in which terror | seems to grip your mind so wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. |
W1:198.2 | is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in truth. What | seems to be its influence and its effects have not occurred at all. |

W2:WIB.3 | The body is a dream. Like other dreams, it sometimes | seems to picture happiness but can quite suddenly revert to fear, |
W2:328.1 | What | seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are |
W2:328.1 | we perceive are upside-down until we listen to the Voice of God. It | seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate |
W2:356.1 | Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what | seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is |

M:2.3 | The world of time is the world of illusion. What happened long ago | seems to be happening now. Choices made long since appear to be open, |
M:2.4 | it is an instant that is relived again and again and still again, it | seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem to come |
M:2.4 | choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in everything but | seems to take time in the working-out. What could delay the Power of |
M:3.3 | one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the teacher of God | seems to begin to change his mind about the world with the single |
M:3.3 | the illusion of time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching | seems to be something different. Perhaps the best way to demonstrate |
M:4.5 | This need not be painful, but it usually is so experienced. It | seems as if things are being taken away, and it is rarely understood |
M:7.4 | in the form of lack of trust. As such, it is an attack. Usually it | seems to be just the opposite. It does appear unreasonable at first |
M:11.1 | This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly peace | seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things |
M:11.3 | —one without meaning and devoid of sense, yet out of which no way | seems possible—God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. Gently |
M:13.7 | And in this situation the impossible can seem to happen. It | seems to happen at the “sacrifice” of truth. |
M:14.3 | Certainly this | seems to be a long, long while away. “When not one thought of sin |

M:19.3 | Forgiveness has no place in such a scheme, for not one “sin” but | seems forever true. |
M:22.2 | the necessary realization of inclusiveness may reach him. If the way | seems long, let him be content. He has decided on the direction he |

Tx:14.61 | light and thereby think you see the darkness. Yet darkness cannot be | seen, for it is nothing more than a condition in which seeing becomes |
Tx:15.4 | thought of merely as an end to pain, would it be feared? We have | seen this strange paradox in the ego's thought system before, but |
Tx:15.50 | have imagined that you needed them as they were not. Unless you had | seen yourself as without love, you could not have judged them so like |

Tx:16.34 | There is no conflict in the choice between truth and illusion. | Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the |
Tx:16.61 | the total lack of value of the special relationship if they were | seen. For in seeing them, the body would disappear because its value |

Tx:17.39 | for what they represent. One is framed to be out of focus and not | seen. The other is framed for perfect clarity. The picture of |
Tx:17.40 | at last occur. And each is given its rightful place, when both are | seen in relation to each other. The dark picture brought to light is |
Tx:17.44 | world, is learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed and | seen anew. The holy relationship is a phenomenal teaching |
Tx:17.46 | the relationship to fit the goal. Until this happy solution is | seen and accepted as the only way out of the conflict, the |
Tx:17.67 | and not by you. You did not set it because holiness cannot be | seen except through faith, and your relationship was not holy because |
Tx:17.74 | of the meaning of every relationship and every situation, | seen as a whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, |
Tx:18.3 | the fragmented perception from which the behavior stems. No one is | seen complete. The body is emphasized, with special emphasis on |
Tx:18.5 | fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But nothing you have | seen begins to show you the enormity of the original error, which |
Tx:18.86 | really is. The barren sands, the darkness and the lifelessness are | seen only through the body's eyes. Its vision is distorted, and the |
Tx:18.88 | this for its protection, which must always depend on keeping it not | seen. The body's eyes will never look on it. Yet they will see what |
Tx:18.93 | world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the world outside is | seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. Here are you |
Tx:19.7 | where sickness cannot be. They are together, and when they are | seen together, all attempts to keep both truth and illusion in the |
Tx:19.7 | as dedication to illusion and given up when brought to truth and | seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any respect or in any |
Tx:19.12 | of forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is | seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. |
Tx:19.18 | innocence and making himself what God created not. Thus is creation | seen as not eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition and |
Tx:19.20 | error but truth, and it is innocence that would deceive. Purity is | seen as arrogance, and the acceptance of the self as sinful is |
Tx:19.29 | been broken. Yet at the line, its wholeness is apparent. Everything | seen from the spiral is misperceived, but as you approach the line, |
Tx:19.34 | For in the new perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be | seen, and it becomes invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and |
Tx:19.35 | was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have | seen and raise your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The |
Tx:19.51 | Relationships in this world are the result of how the world is | seen. And this depends on which emotion was called on to send its |
Tx:19.59 | For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the body and | seen in it. |
Tx:19.84 | to it and bid it come to save them from communication. For death is | seen as safety, the great dark savior from the light of truth, the |
Tx:19.108 | the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be | seen, but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established |
Tx:19.109 | as you look on him, so will the gift itself appear to be. As he is | seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his |
Tx:19.109 | either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his offering be | seen and so received. The crucified give pain because they are in |
Tx:20.17 | relationships, in which there are no interferences, are always | seen as dangerous. The ego is the self-appointed mediator of all |
Tx:20.42 | already given; the face of Christ you yet will look upon already | seen. |
Tx:20.48 | The rest it merely throws away, for all that it could offer is | seen as valueless. Homeless, the ego seeks as many bodies as it can |
Tx:20.49 | as His home the only place in all the universe where it can not be | seen? |
Tx:20.72 | He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His purpose, | seen in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it. |
Tx:20.77 | When you have looked on what seemed terrifying and | seen it change to sights of loveliness and peace; when you have |
Tx:21.3 | really looks like is unknown to them. They must infer what could be | seen from evidence forever indirect and reconstruct their inferences |
Tx:21.4 | How foolish it is to attempt to judge what could be | seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must look |
Tx:21.4 | not necessary to imagine what the world must look like. It must be | seen before you recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which |
Tx:21.39 | that what gives light be one with what depends on darkness to be | seen. Neither demands the sacrifice of the other. Yet on the absence |
Tx:21.40 | made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it still is | seen. Yet in the light of vision, it is looked upon quite |
Tx:21.45 | This part has | seen your brother and recognized him perfectly since time began. And |
Tx:21.65 | let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole salvation | seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to understand that |
Tx:21.72 | dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any way at all. It could be | seen attacking anyone with anything. Dreams have no reason in them. A |
Tx:22.1 | in the same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual perception, | seen in the other yet believed by each to be within himself. And each |
Tx:22.2 | see their brothers different from themselves. It is this difference, | seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not real but seen, |
Tx:22.2 | seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not real but | seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if sin were so. For |
Tx:22.3 | starts from a different premise. Each one has looked within and | seen no lack. Accepting his completion, he would extend it by joining |
Tx:22.13 | then, has joined them? Reason will tell you that they must have | seen each other through a vision not of the body and communicated in |
Tx:22.24 | we see again another form of the same fundamental illusion we have | seen many times before. Only if it were possible the Son of God could |
Tx:22.55 | a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no longer | seen, and reason, joined with love, looks quietly on all confusion, |
Tx:23.15 | when it is brought to truth! For it seems real only as long as it is | seen as war between conflicting truths, the conqueror to be the |
Tx:23.24 | He must believe; and how He must respond, believing it. It is not | seen as even necessary that He be asked about the truth of what has |
Tx:23.28 | All of the mechanisms of madness are | seen emerging here: the “enemy,” made strong by keeping hidden the |
Tx:23.32 | is the function of insanity to take the place of truth. It must be | seen as truth to be believed. And if it is the truth, then must its |
Tx:23.33 | laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be | seen as sanity. And fear, with ashen lips and sightless eyes, blinded |
Tx:23.34 | strange device that makes it possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have | seen how it appears to function many times before. In truth it does |
Tx:24.12 | Specialness always makes comparisons. It is established by a lack | seen in another and maintained by searching for and keeping clear in |
Tx:24.42 | and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can be | seen and heard and where he will see nothing and there is no sound to |
Tx:24.71 | itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is sure when | seen through its own eyes. It grows and withers, flourishes and dies. |
Tx:25.13 | outcome? For one thing is sure—the way you see, and long have | seen, gives no support to base your future hopes and no suggestions |
Tx:25.14 | apart from this—some glimmering, inconstant, wavering, yet dimly | seen, that hopefulness is warranted on grounds that are not in this |
Tx:25.15 | the frame is but a means to hold the picture up so that it can be | seen. A frame that hides the picture has no purpose. It cannot be a |
Tx:25.20 | Him. And thus is yours completed. Not one ray of darkness can be | seen by those who will to make their Father's happiness complete and |
Tx:25.26 | His Creator's purpose. In His perception of the world, nothing is | seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect sinlessness. |
Tx:25.32 | the aim as such that varies. Yet it is the way in which the aim is | seen that makes the choice of means inevitable and beyond the hope of |
Tx:25.48 | that you think you see in it is really there at all.] And this is | seen and understood as each one takes his part in its undoing, as he |

Tx:25.66 | for all that you would keep and not give up. So is the victim | seen as partly you, with someone else by far the greater part. And in |
Tx:25.74 | Holy Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence at last, provided it is | seen and recognized. For just one witness is enough if he sees truly. |

Tx:25.80 | Thus is justice not accorded to the Son of God. When anyone is | seen as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment becomes his due |
Tx:25.82 | crucial to this course. For miracles depend on justice. Not as it is | seen through this world's eyes, but as God knows it, and as knowledge |
Tx:26.4 | is asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is | seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to |
Tx:26.5 | No instant passes here in which your brother's holiness cannot be | seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager scrap and tiny crumb |
Tx:26.20 | place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be | seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been |
Tx:26.37 | as real is but a wish that what is gone could be made real again and | seen as here and now in place of what is really now and here. Is this |
Tx:26.40 | remains, but still a present light is dimly recognized. Once it is | seen, this light can never be forgotten. It must draw you from the |
Tx:26.47 | it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. Sickness and sin are | seen as consequence and cause in a relationship kept hidden from |
Tx:26.50 | of truth forever will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be | seen as upside-down. And this must be corrected where the illusion of |
Tx:26.59 | you still feel guilty, though without understanding why. Effects are | seen as separate from their source and seem to be beyond you to |
Tx:26.86 | then are given meaning and perceived as sensible. And only some are | seen as meaningless. And this denies the fact that all are senseless |
Tx:26.87 | so firmly joined that where one is perceived, the other must be | seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but |
Tx:27.5 | It is a picture of a body still, for what you really are cannot be | seen nor pictured. Yet this one has not been used for purpose of |
Tx:27.10 | of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured without a purpose, it is | seen as neither sick nor well, nor bad nor good. No grounds are |
Tx:27.12 | then, its purpose and your function both be reconciled at last and | seen as one. |
Tx:27.21 | healing? Only those to whom their brother's sacrifice and pain are | seen to represent their own serenity. Their helplessness and weakness |
Tx:27.25 | the central target for correction, lest your errors and his own be | seen as one. Yours are mistakes, but his are sins and not the same as |
Tx:27.32 | An empty space which is not | seen as filled, an unused interval of time not seen as spent and |
Tx:27.32 | space which is not seen as filled, an unused interval of time not | seen as spent and fully occupied, becomes a silent invitation to the |
Tx:27.34 | vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which the eyes have ever | seen or ears have heard remains to be perceived. |
Tx:27.36 | will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is | seen in different ways. And what would be an answer from one point of |
Tx:27.50 | at transfer, which becomes complete within two situations which are | seen as one, for only common elements are there. Yet this can only be |
Tx:27.52 | different witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them will be | seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one there are a |
Tx:27.62 | who bears the suffering. And he cannot escape because its source is | seen outside himself. |
Tx:27.63 | will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when clearly | seen. No one has difficulty making up his mind to let a simple |
Tx:27.63 | making up his mind to let a simple problem be resolved if it is | seen as hurting him and also very easily removed. |
Tx:27.67 | the witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has | seen a need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was |
Tx:27.70 | Who could be free to choose between effects when only one is | seen as up to him? |
Tx:27.76 | you dream your Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be | seen in light of charity and kindness offered you. And let no pain |
Tx:27.77 | without the dream, in which it acts as if it were a person, to be | seen and be believed. It takes the central place in every dream, |
Tx:27.81 | and could never have conceived this world as real. He would have | seen at once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for |
Tx:28.18 | in that recognition, causelessness is given no effects and none are | seen. A mind within a body and a world of other bodies, each with |
Tx:28.25 | enemies perceived as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is | seen as causeless now, because they did not make it. And you can |
Tx:28.30 | Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and separate minds are | seen as bodies which are separated and which cannot join. Do not |
Tx:28.30 | abandoned him to his own dream by sharing it with him. He has not | seen the cause of sickness where it is, and you have overlooked the |
Tx:28.35 | afraid, but let your world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was | seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness will |
Tx:28.35 | to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness will be | seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies and |
Tx:28.47 | and separating from? A gap perceived between [ourselves] and what is | seen as health? The good is seen outside; the evil, in. And thus is |
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 |
Tx:28.51 | no sound. Yet are there other sounds and other sights which can be | seen and heard and understood. For eyes and ears are senses without |
Tx:28.51 | Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments | seen within the gap which you imagined, and let them persuade their |
Tx:28.54 | Who punishes the body is insane. For here the little gap is | seen, and yet it is not here. It has not judged itself nor made |
Tx:28.62 | lacks foundation in the truth. And yet, because it does, it can be | seen as not your home but merely as an aid to help you reach the home |
Tx:28.66 | the safety of this shelter and its Source? From here the body can be | seen as what it is and neither less nor more in worth than the extent |
Tx:29.2 | Here is the fear of God most plainly | seen. For love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate |
Tx:29.5 | unless you wanted it to be a cause of separation and of distance | seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that lies not |
Tx:29.7 | be feared and only sometimes present, sometimes gone. Thus is love | seen as treacherous because it seems to come and go uncertainly and |
Tx:29.11 | not as yet perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet | seen. Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret |
Tx:29.26 | you like would hold you back as much as those in which the fear is | seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form |
Tx:29.26 | dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is | seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant |
Tx:29.52 | Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and never | seen for what they really are. That is the only power which they |

Tx:30.46 | anchored sure. Its perfect purity does not depend on whether it is | seen on earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly holds it in its |
Tx:30.57 | world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is | seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from |
Tx:30.61 | and nowhere and are purposeless. For only then can guilt and sin be | seen without a purpose and as meaningless. |
Tx:30.87 | they have no meaning. For there is no light by which they can be | seen and understood. They have no purpose. And what they are for |
Tx:30.87 | understood. They have no purpose. And what they are for cannot be | seen. In any thought of loss, there is no meaning. No one has agreed |
Tx:31.11 | becomes the means whereby the choice is reassessed; another outcome | seen to be preferred. You are deceived if you believe you want |
Tx:31.28 | Sins are in bodies. They are not perceived in minds. They are not | seen as purposes but actions. Bodies act, and minds do not. And |
Tx:31.28 | And therefore must the body be at fault for what it does. It is not | seen to be a passive thing, obeying your commands and doing nothing |
Tx:31.40 | There is a choice which you have power to make when you have | seen the real alternatives. Until that point is reached, you have no |
Tx:31.56 | he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be | seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts. It does not |
Tx:31.63 | now an instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is | seen, for who is worthy if he be but dust? Salvation is undoing of |
Tx:31.66 | But concepts are not difficult to change. One vision, clearly | seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before will |
Tx:31.67 | promise of corruption and the stain of sin upon you? So the world is | seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place to rest in |
Tx:31.70 | grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and will at length be | seen as little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And |
Tx:31.78 | his holiness while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is | seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus |
Tx:31.88 | merely those who chose His strength instead of their own weakness, | seen apart from Him. They will redeem the world, for they are joined |
W1:15.2 | much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it when you have | seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you |
W1:28.2 | you are not seeing at all. You either see or not. When you have | seen one thing differently, you will see all things differently. The |
W1:30.1 | you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never | seen before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to |
W1:35.2 | of this environment. What you see while you believe you are in it is | seen through the eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot |
W1:51.4 | But there is every reason to let it go and make room for what can be | seen and understood and loved. I can exchange what I see now for this |
W1:58.2 | as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. | Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I |
W1:66.9 | The second premise is that God has given you your function. We have | seen that there are only two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the |
W1:72.9 | perception has been ruinous to your peace of mind. You have | seen yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked away from |
W1:75.4 | inevitable. Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be | seen at last. Sight is given us, now that the light has come. |
W1:78.6 | lay hidden while you saw him not is there in everyone and can be | seen. He who was enemy is more than friend when he is freed to take |
W1:80.2 | Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside and | seen the light of truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by |
W1:86.2 | It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation. I have | seen it in many people and in many things, but when I reached for it, |
W1:89.4 | you [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead. | Seen truly, this offers me a miracle. |
W1:91.7 | Miracles are | seen in light. The body's eyes do not perceive the light. But I am |
W1:91.14 | at reasonably regular intervals remind yourself that miracles are | seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's idea. |
W1:91.15 | Miracles are | seen in light. Let me not close my eyes because of this. |
W1:92.3 | afraid, the sad, the poor, the starving, and the joyless. These are | seen through eyes which cannot see and cannot bless. |
W1:95.4 | extended attempts. You have surely realized this by now. You have | seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and of your need |
W1:108.2 | darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus what is the same is | seen as one, while what is not the same remains unnoticed, for it is |
W1:108.4 | Here are both giving and receiving | seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose truth does not depend |
W1:108.4 | aspects of one Thought Whose truth does not depend on which is | seen as first, nor which appears to be in second place. Here it is |
W1:108.6 | same has special usefulness because it can be tried so easily and | seen as true. And when this special case has proved it always works |
W1:111.2 | [91] Miracles are | seen in light. I cannot see in darkness. Let the light of holiness |
W1:111.3 | [92] Miracles are | seen in light, and light and strength are one. I see through |
W1:111.5 | Miracles are | seen in light. |
W1:111.7 | Miracles are | seen in light, and light and strength are one. |
W1:129.11 | Now do we understand there is no loss, for we have | seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is |
W1:130.3 | What, then, can fear project upon the world? What can be | seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what |
W1:130.10 | it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever | seen before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this |
W1:134.1 | a complete denial of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be | seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest |
W1:135.10 | Defend the body, and you have attacked your mind. For you have | seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits, and the lacks from |
W1:136.1 | a meaningful intent of any kind, it cannot be at all. When this is | seen, healing is automatic. It dispels this meaningless illusion by |
W1:136.2 | of all defenses is to keep the truth from being whole. The parts are | seen as if each one were whole within itself. |
W1:136.7 | When parts are wrested from the whole and | seen as separate and as wholes within themselves, they become symbols |
W1:136.7 | for attack upon the whole, successful in effect, and never to be | seen as whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but |
W1:137.6 | love becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality that can be | seen and justified and fully understood. |
W1:137.7 | which you hold before the simple truth. When sickness has been | seen to disappear in spite of all the laws that hold it cannot but be |
W1:138.7 | for ending opposition is to die. And thus salvation must be | seen as death, for life is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict |
W1:138.7 | is to die. And thus salvation must be seen as death, for life is | seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your life as well. |
W1:138.9 | The choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately | seen and understood. All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to |
W1:138.10 | and is brought to light. Who can decide between the clearly | seen and the unrecognized? Yet who can fail to make a choice between |
W1:138.10 | who can fail to make a choice between alternatives when only one is | seen as valuable, the other as a wholly worthless thing, a but |
W1:140.2 | dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was before. He has not | seen the light that would awaken him and end the dream. What |
W1:R4.5 | are—defenses which protect your unforgiving thoughts from being | seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you something else and |
W1:153.6 | choice is always made between His strength and your own weakness | seen apart from Him. Defenselessness can never be attacked because it |
W1:156.6 | and in laughter is it gone, because its quaint absurdity is | seen. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, |
W1:159.5 | seem quite solid here are merely shadows there, transparent, faintly | seen, at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that |
W1:161.7 | An enemy must be perceived in such a form he can be touched and | seen and heard and ultimately killed. When hatred rests upon a thing, |
W1:161.15 | of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him now whom you had | seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that Christ has come to |
W1:162.1 | answer to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things | seen within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these |
W1:163.3 | All things but death are | seen to be unsure, too quickly lost however hard to gain, uncertain |
W1:167.3 | death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is | seen as physical. A thought is in the mind. It can be then applied as |
W1:184.3 | them as well. For what is named is given meaning and will then be | seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects with consequence inherent |
W1:184.6 | stand. They leave no doubt that what is named is there. It can be | seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is true is but illusion, |
W1:186.9 | break apart to group again, and scamper off. Or like mirages | seen above a desert, rising from the dust. |
W1:188.2 | of dreams or from a truer source, that is not but the shadow of the | seen through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it |
W1:190.1 | a fact at all. There is no form it takes which will not disappear if | seen aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How could it be real in |
W1:190.3 | God is denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad, and | seen as traitor to Himself. If God is real, there is no pain. If pain |
W1:190.5 | in them, they will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was | seen as fearful now becomes a source of innocence and holiness. |
W1:197.2 | house or claim your strength until guilt and salvation are not | seen as one, and freedom and salvation are perceived as joined, with |
W1:199.4 | Here does it hide, and here it can be | seen as what it is. Declare your innocence, and you are free. The |
W1:200.5 | if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world is | seen by you as blessed and everyone made free of your mistakes and |
W2:240.1 | Fear is deception. It attests that you have | seen yourself as you could never be and therefore look upon a world |
W2:WIW.1 | has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the world be | seen in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, where all |
W2:WIC.5 | And how long will this holy face be | seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning now is |
W2:WIRW.1 | Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is | seen through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your |
W2:WIRW.2 | of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a world | seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. |
W2:333.1 | must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, | seen somewhere else, called by another name, nor hidden by deceit of |
W2:333.1 | nor hidden by deceit of any kind if it would be escaped. It must be | seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality |
W2:WIM.2 | manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness | seen as justified. |
W2:345.1 | is universal. Even here it takes a form which can be recognized and | seen to work. The miracles I give are given back in just the form I |
M:I.5 | in many, many ways until they have learned it. And then they are | seen no more, although their thoughts remain a source of strength and |
M:1.3 | he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has | seen someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own |
M:2.5 | he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has | seen in another person the same interests as his own. |
M:4.10 | achievement.” It is here that learning is consolidated. Now what was | seen as merely shadows before becomes solid gains, to be counted on |
M:4.20 | ultimate interpretation of all things in time, no outcome already | seen or yet to come can cause them fear. |
M:5.2 | conviction that it is strength. When this occurs, real strength is | seen as threat and health as danger. Sickness is a method, conceived |
M:5.2 | in madness, for placing God's Son on his Father's throne. God is | seen as outside, fierce and powerful, eager to keep all power for |
M:5.7 | they seemed to cause. Cause and effect but replicate creation. | Seen in their proper perspective, without distortion and without |
M:6.1 | Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The teacher of God has | seen the correction of his errors in the mind of the patient, |
M:6.2 | Healing will always stand aside when it would be | seen as threat. The instant it is welcome it is there. Where healing |
M:8.1 | darkness and light, and thousands of contrasts in which each thing | seen competes with every other in order to be recognized. A larger |
M:8.3 | And this meaning does not exist in the world outside at all. What is | seen as “reality” is simply what the mind prefers. Its hierarchy of |
M:8.3 | the mind is responsible for seeing. It alone decides whether what is | seen is real or illusory, desirable or undesirable, pleasurable or |
M:13.5 | world that does not demand this, for otherwise the pleasure would be | seen as pain. And no one asks for pain if he recognizes it. It is the |
M:14.1 | need or gratify a want. Perceived as purposeless, they are no longer | seen. Their uselessness is recognized, and they are gone. How but in |
M:25.5 | this new temptation to win back strength by guile. Many have not | seen through the ego's defenses here, although they are not |
M:28.2 | of God shines unimpeded across the world. Christ's face is | seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in darkness apart |
M:28.4 | dreams of fear, and misperceptions of the universe. All things are | seen in light, and in the light their purpose is transformed and |
M:28.5 | sight is needed? What remains that vision could accomplish? We have | seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His love behind all forms, |

Tx:14.30 | darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon. For He | sees for you, and unless you look with Him, He cannot see. The vision |
Tx:15.70 | what it really wants. Yet the ego acknowledges “reality” as it | sees it and recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as |
Tx:15.91 | and renounce its use for separation and attack which the ego | sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the |
Tx:16.2 | itself. [Having identified with what it thinks it understands, it | sees itself and would increase itself by sharing what is like |
Tx:16.47 | of the “victory” even to the final triumph over God. In this it | sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for nothing would remain to |
Tx:16.50 | Where both partners see this special self in each other, the ego | sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one will recognize that he |
Tx:16.62 | even one whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and | sees only this part and nothing else. |
Tx:16.72 | ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the past, it | sees itself deprived of the vengeance it believes that you so justly |
Tx:17.23 | This is the only part of the relationship the Holy Spirit | sees because He knows that only this is true. You have made the |
Tx:17.31 | the ego was accepted is very anxious to preserve its reason as it | sees it. It does not realize that it is totally insane. And you must |
Tx:17.62 | Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit | sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that |
Tx:18.2 | perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy Spirit | sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge between them, |
Tx:18.2 | can come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit | sees as one. But everything seems to come between the fragmented |
Tx:18.88 | The circle of fear lies just below the level the body | sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is |
Tx:19.12 | already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith | sees him only now because it looks not to the past to judge him, but |
Tx:19.12 | to judge him, but would see in him only what it would see in you. It | sees not through the body's eyes nor looks to bodies for its |
Tx:19.13 | And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and | sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the altar where the |
Tx:19.28 | keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly | sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. |
Tx:19.49 | It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth, for there it | sees itself, with which it would unite in holy union and completion. |
Tx:19.49 | [Love is attracted only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it | sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. |
Tx:19.49 | attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love | sees not, and each believes that what the other looks upon does not |
Tx:19.54 | messengers to send to each other and return to each with what love | sees. They have been given to replace the hungry dogs of fear you |
Tx:19.58 | store and make your lives complete. This is completion, as the ego | sees it. For guilt creeps in where happiness has been removed and |
Tx:19.71 | that this relationship be understood, for it is one the ego | sees as proof of sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but the |
Tx:19.97 | of each other's illusions and through the eyes of faith, which | sees them not. |
Tx:19.107 | as guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he | sees within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release |
Tx:20.7 | Each gift is an evaluation of the receiver and the giver. No one but | sees in his chosen home an altar to himself. No one but seeks to draw |
Tx:20.9 | purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He | sees no strangers, only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no |
Tx:20.9 | His. He sees no strangers, only dearly loved and loving friends. He | sees no thorns, but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace |
Tx:20.28 | to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this world | sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These things have |
Tx:20.28 | and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit | sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would |
Tx:20.41 | function, for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that | sees the body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy |
Tx:20.43 | yet he knows it not. No more do you. And yet, have faith that He Who | sees the gift in both of you will offer and receive it for you both. |
Tx:20.44 | Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what He | sees. He knows the Son of God and shares his Father's certainty the |
Tx:20.49 | does not build His temples where love can never be. Would He Who | sees the face of Christ choose as His home the only place in all the |
Tx:20.63 | Who | sees a brother's body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He |
Tx:20.63 | Who sees a brother's body has laid a judgment on him and | sees him not. He does not really see him as sinful; he does not see |
Tx:20.66 | seeing look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he | sees is free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for |
Tx:20.66 | can judge, and what he sees is free of condemnation. And what he | sees he did not make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision |
Tx:21.32 | your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only one He ever | sees. And when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His faith |
Tx:21.34 | away from sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He | sees the means you use but not the purpose for which you made them. |
Tx:21.34 | for which you made them. He would not take them from you, for He | sees their value as a means for what He wills for you. You made |
Tx:21.34 | among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit | sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy |
Tx:21.47 | brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it | sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule |
Tx:21.51 | in them, you will perceive another Self in you. This other Self | sees miracles as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as |
Tx:21.60 | perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and | sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon |
Tx:21.65 | you because he must be one with you. You are responsible for how he | sees himself. And reason tells you it is given you to change his |
Tx:21.66 | seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And yet what madness | sees must be dispelled by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what |
Tx:21.82 | are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the Holy Spirit | sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those |
Tx:21.83 | happiness, but he may do so if he does not see he does it. And if he | sees his happiness as ever changing, now this, now that, and now an |
Tx:21.84 | of the Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who | sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on |
Tx:21.87 | as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on everything and | sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that |
Tx:21.87 | in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is the same. It | sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be like itself |
Tx:21.87 | not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be like itself and | sees it so. Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its |
Tx:22.3 | he would extend it by joining with another, whole as himself. He | sees no difference between these selves, for differences are only of |
Tx:22.6 | what can it show to you? The brain cannot interpret what your vision | sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the body, of |
Tx:22.7 | became your sight. Yet it must be the “something else” which | sees, and as not you, explains its sight to you. Your vision would, |
Tx:22.7 | this thing to lead you, asking it to explain to you the world it | sees, you have no reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it |
Tx:22.9 | difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for everyone | sees only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, |
Tx:22.10 | to him at different times. Neither the sounds he hears nor sights he | sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not understand will |
Tx:22.10 | around him, and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he | sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he will |
Tx:22.11 | For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose vision | sees them one. |
Tx:22.20 | must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason | sees the source of an idea as what will make it true or false. This |
Tx:22.30 | to see your errors and make way for their correction. For reason | sees through errors, telling you what you thought was real is not. |
Tx:22.31 | so thick it would be madness to attempt to pass it. Yet reason | sees through it easily because it is an error. The form it takes |
Tx:22.34 | idea they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that | sees through them. What was its maker's goal but not to see? For this |
Tx:22.37 | each one is valued because he seems to justify the other's sin. He | sees within the other what impels him to sin against his will. And |
Tx:22.37 | himself as causing sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason | sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common state of mind, |
Tx:23.32 | No one wants madness, nor does anyone cling to his madness if he | sees that this is what it is. What protects madness is the belief |
Tx:23.34 | and disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is true | sees what it says. Some forms it takes seem to have meaning, and that |
Tx:24.16 | see his specialness at all. Christ's vision is their “enemy,” for it | sees not what they would look upon, and it would show them that the |
Tx:24.40 | loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He | sees because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father. |
Tx:24.40 | with Him and with His Father. Specialness, too, takes joy in what it | sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek for is a source of |
Tx:24.42 | but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth and | sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace |
Tx:24.42 | condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He | sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He |
Tx:24.42 | eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He | sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His |
Tx:24.52 | is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit | sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of |
Tx:24.52 | is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer pain because he | sees himself as he is not. |
Tx:24.58 | can see your brother truly. Would you decide against the holiness He | sees? |
Tx:25.19 | be given you. However much he overlooks the masterpiece in him and | sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your only function to |
Tx:25.19 | of darkness, it is still your only function to behold in him what he | sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that looks on |
Tx:25.22 | completion to your brother. See not in him the sinfulness he | sees, but give him honor that you may esteem yourself and him. To |
Tx:25.30 | been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The Holy Spirit too | sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His |
Tx:25.30 | And thus is change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He | sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot |
Tx:25.55 | would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each | sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal |
Tx:25.57 | of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the world he | sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him he is mad. This One |
Tx:25.58 | wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he | sees within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to |
Tx:25.74 | it is seen and recognized. For just one witness is enough if he | sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy |
Tx:25.81 | any kind He cannot see. The world solves problems in another way. It | sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall win and |
Tx:25.87 | receiving are the same. Because it does not make the same unlike, it | sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is the same for |
Tx:25.87 | where none exist. And thus it is the same for everyone, because it | sees no differences in them. Its offering is universal, and it |
Tx:26.7 | by you than can the light in you be blotted out because he | sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of life and make your |
Tx:26.9 | Condemn him not by seeing him within the rotting prison where he | sees himself. It is your special function to ensure the door be |
Tx:26.25 | Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it until he | sees himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his |
Tx:26.89 | rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy Spirit | sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every living thing |
Tx:27.19 | you wished him well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing | sees no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from love. |
Tx:27.27 | be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the Holy Spirit | sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill a |
Tx:27.57 | God's Witness | sees no witnesses against the body. Neither does He harken to the |
Tx:27.62 | is unconscious of what brought on the attack against himself, he | sees himself attacked unjustly and by something not himself. He is |
Tx:27.65 | not hold has made upon himself. This is the purpose of the world he | sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by which this |
Tx:27.68 | cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he | sees is separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his dreams' reality |
Tx:27.80 | a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in a dream unless he | sees them as if they were real? The instant that he sees them as they |
Tx:27.80 | dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The instant that he | sees them as they are, they have no more effects on him because he |
Tx:27.89 | of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the rest. He | sees no differences where none exist, and He will teach you how each |
Tx:28.7 | ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your perception | sees. |
Tx:28.21 | The dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He | sees illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but |
Tx:28.22 | 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 from its |
Tx:28.44 | just a little broken bit which he insisted was himself. And when he | sees this picture, he will recognize himself. If you share not your |
Tx:28.56 | it is, but for the uses you have made of it. You shrink from what it | sees and what it hears and hate its frailty and littleness. And you |
Tx:28.56 | and littleness. And you despise its acts but not your own. It | sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and |
Tx:29.37 | of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who | sees a different function for a dream. When dreams are shared, they |
Tx:29.67 | nor interposed between the thoughts the mind conceives and what it | sees. No one is used for something he is not, for childish things |
Tx:30.2 | practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which | sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself become |
Tx:30.73 | of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who | sees himself as guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is saved |
Tx:31.5 | learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit | sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have a power |
Tx:31.37 | he should begin with this, to seek another way instead? For while he | sees a choice where there is none, what power of decision can he use? |
Tx:31.43 | world of shadows and illusions. Here it walks at home, where what it | sees is one with it. The building of a concept of the self is what |
Tx:31.75 | when first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself and | sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself |
Tx:31.78 | savior's vision—that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and | sees his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself |
Tx:31.78 | no concept of himself between his calm and open eyes and what he | sees. He brings the light to what he looks upon, that he may see it |
Tx:31.80 | your brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It | sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a wholly open mind, |
W1:8.1 | is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one really | sees anything. He sees only his thoughts projected outward. The |
W1:8.1 | reason why you see only the past. No one really sees anything. He | sees only his thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation |
W1:22.1 | must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he | sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is thus |
W1:22.1 | an increasingly vicious circle until he is willing to change how he | sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack will preoccupy |
W1:38.5 | holiness cannot do. In the situation involving ______ in which _____ | sees himself, there is nothing my holiness cannot do. |
W1:43.1 | it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy Spirit | sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth. |
W1:64.2 | another use for all the illusions you have made, and therefore He | sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a |
W1:64.6 | just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the Holy Spirit | sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is. |
W1:75.9 | be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true vision | sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently |
W1:78.2 | will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it | sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and |
W1:92.3 | think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that | sees through the body's eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the |
W1:92.4 | lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It | sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In |
W1:92.6 | It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It | sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all, and so it gives its |
W1:92.7 | in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It | sees all others different from itself and nothing in the world that |
W1:92.7 | and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers everything it | sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No miracles are here, |
W1:92.7 | miracles are here, but only hate. It separates itself from what it | sees, while light and strength perceive themselves as one. |
W1:96.6 | from Spirit cannot think. It has denied its Source of strength and | sees itself as helpless, limited, and weak. Dissociated from its |
W1:99.3 | be reconciled within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that | sees illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are |
W1:99.6 | This is the thought which brings illusions to the truth, and | sees them as appearances behind which is the changeless and the sure. |
W1:100.7 | to all you look upon, His peace to everyone who looks on you and | sees His message in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for |
W1:109.2 | thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision | sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything |
W1:121.3 | mind is torn with doubt, confused about itself and all it | sees, afraid and angry, weak and blustering, afraid to go ahead, |
W1:121.4 | except the proof that all its sins are real? The unforgiving mind | sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the world with |
W1:121.4 | wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants forgiveness, yet it | sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it |
W1:121.4 | sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it | sees the sinful everywhere. |
W1:121.5 | itself to this despair. It thinks it cannot change, for what it | sees bears witness that its judgment is correct. It does not ask |
W1:124.8 | to guide your meditation. We will trust God's Voice to speak as He | sees fit today, certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an |
W1:132.1 | in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the world he | sees is real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by |
W1:134.7 | only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It | sees their nothingness and looks right through the thousand forms in |
W1:134.8 | strength of pardon is its honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it | sees illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that |
W1:137.3 | the unity that gives it life. But healing is accomplished as he | sees the body has no power to attack the universal oneness of God's |
W1:140.1 | what will make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it | sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. |
W1:151.5 | believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is within itself it | sees the guilt. It is its own despair it sees in you. |
W1:151.5 | It is within itself it sees the guilt. It is its own despair it | sees in you. |
W1:151.7 | He recognizes only what God loves, and in the holy light of what He | sees do all the ego's dreams of what you are vanish before the |
W1:151.13 | And then we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who | sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought |
W1:158.5 | are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the Holy Spirit | sees because the mind of Christ beholds it too. |
W1:158.7 | mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It | sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, |
W1:158.7 | and all events without the slightest fading of the light it | sees. |
W1:159.3 | but has been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it | sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be |
W1:160.9 | has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His vision | sees no strangers, but beholds His own and joyously unites with them. |
W1:161.2 | of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It | sees instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it |
W1:161.8 | Who | sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will |
W1:161.8 | Who sees a brother as a body | sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack because what he beholds |
W1:161.9 | will take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight that | sees him thus. |
W1:164.1 | not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time and | sees eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless |
W1:166.5 | look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he | sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his little lot but dwindles |
W1:167.10 | shuts his eyes or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps and | sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death |
W1:167.12 | so are we now and will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it | sees its own perfection mirroring the Lord of Life so perfectly it |
W1:R5.10 | you practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who | sees your bitter need and knows the answer God has given Him. |
W1:184.4 | upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity or vision which | sees differently become the threats which it must overcome, conflict |
W1:186.13 | has thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He | sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name |
W1:189.2 | watches through the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It | sees salvation in you and protects the light in you in which it sees |
W1:189.2 | It sees 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 |
W1:190.1 | witnesses to God the Father's hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He | sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and death. Can such |
W1:192.4 | Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in Heaven, | sees them disappear, and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate |
W1:192.8 | Who can be born again in Christ but him who has forgiven everyone he | sees or thinks of or imagines? Who could be set free while he |
W1:193.2 | God | sees no contradictions. Yet His Son believes he sees them. Thus he |
W1:193.2 | God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son believes he | sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his erring |
W1:193.11 | learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind which | sees the pain through eyes the mind directs. |
W1:195.1 | while others have less cause, and who could suffer less because he | sees another suffer more? Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made |
W1:196.2 | that punishment can never be escaped because the ego, under what it | sees as threat, is quick to cite the truth to save its lies. Yet must |
W1:199.1 | it cannot be found. The mind can be made free when it no longer | sees itself as in a body, firmly tied to it and sheltered by its |
W1:199.4 | because you have no need of it except the need the Holy Spirit | sees. For this, the body will appear as useful form for what the mind |
W2:WF.1 | you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It | sees there was no sin. And in this view are all your sins forgiven. |
W2:WF.1 | What is sin except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely | sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take |
W2:WF.3 | action, it pursues its goal, twisting and overturning what it | sees as interfering with its chosen path. Distortion is its purpose |
W2:WF.5 | His function and forgive whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He | sees, and whom He honors as the Son of God. |
W2:236.1 | serve. Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He | sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I |
W2:WIS.1 | seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it | sees illusions where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin |
W2:WIB.2 | The body will not stay. Yet this he | sees as double “safety.” For the Son of God's impermanence is “proof” |
W2:WIRW.3 | and what is there that it would judge against? The world it | sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in |
W2:WIRW.3 | from a mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it | sees, for it is kind and only kindness does it look upon. |
W2:WILJ.2 | The final judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it | sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly |
W2:313.1 | on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He | sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception |
W2:WIE.1 | doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the will that | sees the Will of God as enemy and takes a form in which It is denied. |
W2:WIM.1 | It merely looks on devastation and reminds the mind that what it | sees is false. It undoes error but does not attempt to go beyond |
W2:347.1 | so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He | sees what I behold, and yet He knows the truth. He looks on pain, and |
W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision | sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears |
W2:WAI.5 | Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he | sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and |
M:4.8 | the teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he | sees in it his whole way out. “Give up what you do not want and keep |
M:4.9 | for him to judge. He thought he had learned willingness, but now he | sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. And now he |
M:4.20 | without anxiety. Patience is natural to the teacher of God. All he | sees is certain outcome, at a time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in |
M:5.2 | Healing is accomplished the instant the sufferer no longer | sees any value in pain. Who would choose suffering unless he thought |
M:8.5 | to kill than a shout? And do the number of pitchforks the devils he | sees carrying affect their credibility in his perception? His Mind |
M:10.6 | happily the instant he recognizes its cost. All of the ugliness he | sees about him is its outcome. All of the pain he looks upon is its |
M:11.2 | judgment would condemn it. God says there is no death; your judgment | sees but death as the inevitable end of life. God's Word assures you |
M:12.1 | Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly spirit now no longer | sees Himself as a body or even as in a body. Therefore He is |
M:12.2 | only the Love of God. God can no longer be feared, for the mind | sees no cause for punishment. God's teachers appear to be many, for |
M:16.1 | and he keeps in constant contact with the Answer. He is set and | sees the road on which he walks stretch surely and smoothly before |
M:20.3 | come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. Who | sees anger as justified in any way or any circumstance proclaims that |
M:22.3 | would be impossible. A body that can order a mind to do as it | sees fit would merely take the place of God and prove salvation is |
M:23.2 | of God. So has his name become the name of God, for he no longer | sees himself as separate from Him. |
M:23.5 | But in his eyes your loveliness is so complete and flawless that he | sees in it an image of his Father. You become the symbol of his |
M:23.5 | Father here on earth. To you he looks for hope, because in you he | sees no limit and no stain to mar your beautiful perfection. In his |
M:25.4 | are strengths which the Holy Spirit wants and needs. Yet the ego | sees in these same strengths an opportunity to glorify itself. |

Tx:16.28 | To your most holy | Self, all praise is due for what you are and for what He is Who |
Tx:16.29 | safely across. For you will come where you would be and where your | Self awaits you. |
Tx:18.76 | Like to the sun and ocean your | Self continues, unmindful that this tiny part regards itself as you. |
Tx:18.80 | Go out and find them, for they bring your | Self with them. And lead them gently to your quiet garden and receive |

Tx:19.92 | which the memory of God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your | Self from you—the fear of God, the final step in your dissociation. |
Tx:20.26 | And here would I unite with you, my friends, my brothers, and my | Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty our union |
Tx:21.51 | And if you place your faith in them, you will perceive another | Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as natural. They are as |
Tx:21.51 | faith in them, you will perceive another Self in you. This other | Self sees miracles as natural. They are as simple and natural to It |
Tx:21.51 | Nor could they do so. But minds cannot be separate. This other | Self is perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes that miracles |
Tx:21.52 | of separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the other | Self you have cut off from your awareness. And nothing you have |
Tx:21.68 | brother. Yet what is there that could be nearer you than is your | Self? |
Tx:22.13 | into one. Rather, in each the other saw a perfect shelter where his | Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his reason tell |
Tx:22.14 | you is an illusion. And truth came instantly to show you where your | Self must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to |
Tx:22.44 | no solid wall. And only an illusion stands between you and the holy | Self you share. |
Tx:24.5 | What else could justify attack? For who could hate someone whose | Self is his and whom He knows? Only the special could have enemies, |
Tx:24.19 | His Son. But only you, to save his specialness and kill his | Self. |
Tx:24.46 | 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 song of Christ |
Tx:25.38 | not be fearful of yourself? For you have hurt yourself and made your | Self your “enemy.” And now you must believe you are not you but |
Tx:25.62 | is His Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for the | Self which is the Son of God. He cannot lose, for if he could, the |
Tx:25.75 | The understanding which you need comes not of you but from a larger | Self, so great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your |
Tx:27.27 | to see His goal divided and distinct for each of you preserves your | Self from being made aware of any function other than Its own. And |
Tx:28.35 | storehouse it will make a place of welcome for your Father and your | Self. The door is open that all those may come who would no longer |
Tx:28.49 | because you think that it is fearful. And you will deny your | Self and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator did not make |
Tx:28.49 | seem to be a “something” you are not. You will make war upon your | Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your brother as a |
Tx:28.49 | as a part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are your | Self or an illusion. What can be between illusion and the truth? A |
Tx:28.50 | the truth to be the place where all your safety lies and where your | Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here is a world |
Tx:29.9 | you not afraid to find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your | Self be lost by being found? |
Tx:29.62 | hold the judgment off from resting on himself. Nor can he know the | Self he has condemned. Judge not, because you make yourself a part of |
Tx:30.94 | Why should you fear to see the Christ in him? You but behold your | Self in what you see. As he is healed are you made free of guilt, for |
Tx:31.5 | a power mightier than yours because they call from God and from your | Self to you. |
Tx:31.57 | Seek not your | Self in symbols. There can be no concept that can stand for what you |
Tx:31.87 | power that is real in you. His strength is yours because He is the | Self that God created as His only Son. |
W1:49.3 | will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your | Self. We will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with |
W1:63.6 | that God's Son looks to you for his salvation. And who but your | Self must be His Son? |
W1:67.5 | yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this | Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind, It is there for you |
W1:67.8 | This is the Voice for God reminding you of your Father and of your | Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing everything that the ego |
W1:68.1 | created by Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your | Self. To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a |
W1:68.3 | Shut off from your | Self, which remains aware of its likeness to its Creator, your Self |
W1:68.3 | your Self, which remains aware of its likeness to its Creator, your | Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves |
W1:68.12 | Love holds no grievances. Let me not betray my | Self. |
W1:68.14 | Love holds no grievances. I would wake to my | Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him. |
W1:72.10 | 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 for |
W1:73.2 | reality. Beholding them, you do not know your brothers nor your | Self. |
W1:73.14 | assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your | Self. Put the rest of the practice period under Their guidance. Join |
W1:82.5 | function. I would not forget my function because I would remember my | Self. I cannot fulfill my function by forgetting. And unless I |
W1:84.2 | I will worship no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my | Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like Itself. |
W1:84.5 | If I hold grievances I am attacking love and therefore attacking my | Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack |
W1:84.5 | grievances I am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My | Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self |
W1:84.5 | My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my | Self today, so that I can remember who I am. |
W1:84.7 | This is no justification for denying my | Self. I will not use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to |
W1:92.4 | it is a part. It sees itself. It brings the light in which your | Self appears. In darkness you perceive a self that is not there. |
W1:92.9 | Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your | Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting |
W1:92.9 | we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your | Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet itself again and be as one. |
W1:92.10 | twice today to join this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your | Self. Its strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is |
W1:92.10 | asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and | Self, where light and strength are one. |
W1:93.11 | You are what God created or what you made. One | Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of |
W1:93.11 | the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your One | Self. Try to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was |
W1:93.11 | the love from which it was created. Try not to interfere with the | Self which God created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny |
W1:94.5 | Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the | Self that never sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is |
W1:94.5 | that never sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is the | Self which never left its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. |
W1:94.5 | left its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the | Self which knows no fear nor could conceive of loss or suffering or |
W1:95.3 | sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One | Self, which is united with its Creator. In patience and in hope we |
W1:95.11 | for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are One | Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, |
W1:95.13 | I am One | Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, |
W1:95.15 | I am One | Self. |
W1:95.16 | then attempt to feel the meaning which the words convey. You are One | Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's |
W1:95.16 | united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, One | Self with one Creator and one goal—to bring awareness of this |
W1:95.17 | You are One | Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of |
W1:95.17 | come through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One | Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will |
W1:95.17 | harmony with all there is and all that there will be. You are One | Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, |
W1:95.17 | are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this | Self, united with your Father in His Will. |
W1:95.18 | Feel this One | Self in you, and let it shine away all your illusions and your |
W1:95.18 | let it shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your | Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His |
W1:95.18 | with His strength within you and His love forever yours. You are One | Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you and to cast |
W1:95.18 | forever yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this | Self within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind |
W1:95.18 | you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind which is this | Self, the holy truth in you. |
W1:95.20 | rustling of the wings of peace. Your own acknowledgment you are One | Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at |
W1:95.21 | You are One | Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self. I honor you |
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 He is, Who loves us |
W1:96.1 | Although you are One | Self, you experience yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving |
W1:96.3 | and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can never be your | Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be what it is and |
W1:96.3 | place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your | Self be split in two and still be what it is and must forever be. |
W1:96.8 | Your | Self retains its thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in |
W1:96.8 | that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the thoughts your | Self holds dear and cherishes for you. |
W1:96.9 | in 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 |
W1:96.9 | be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this One | Self through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and it. |
W1:96.10 | Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your | Self, and what your mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its |
W1:96.12 | Salvation comes from my One | Self. Its thoughts are mine to use. |
W1:96.15 | that your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your | Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will |
W1:96.15 | things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your | Self. |
W1:96.16 | Your | Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps your mind remains |
W1:96.16 | uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your | Self experiences it will save for you, and it will yet be yours in |
W1:96.16 | spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your mind and | Self, you offer Him another treasure to be kept for you. |
W1:96.17 | time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One | Self, you lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it |
W1:97.1 | Today's idea identifies you with your One | Self. It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing |
W1:97.2 | We state again the truth about your | Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you whose mind has been |
W1:97.11 | that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your | Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak the words He |
W1:99.14 | teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your | Self as Love Which has no opposite in you. |
W1:100.11 | the idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your | Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every time you |
W1:106.5 | for who could reach God's Son except his Father calling through your | Self? |
W1:107.10 | like to you your Father knows that you are both the same. It is your | Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are? |
W1:107.12 | will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my | Self. |
W1:110.8 | this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind the | Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is |
W1:110.9 | You are as God created you. Today honor your | Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what |
W1:110.11 | Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy | Self, the Christ in each of us: |
W1:R3.12 | and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your | Self. |
W1:113.2 | [95] I am One | Self, united with my Creator. Serenity and perfect peace are mine |
W1:113.2 | my Creator. Serenity and perfect peace are mine because I am One | Self, completely whole, at one with all creation and with God. |
W1:113.3 | [96] Salvation comes from my One | Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge still remains Within my mind, |
W1:113.3 | [96] Salvation comes from my One Self. From my One | Self, Whose knowledge still remains Within my mind, I see God's |
W1:113.5 | I am One | Self, united with my Creator. |
W1:113.7 | Salvation comes from my One | Self. |
W1:119.2 | mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's Son whose | Self rests safely in the Mind of God. |
W1:121.6 | but from a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the other | Self in you. Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think |
W1:121.6 | it disappear. Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your | Self and Who can never sin. |
W1:123.4 | to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness today in honor of the | Self Which God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. Today we |
W1:123.8 | that he might rise above the world remembering his Father and his | Self. |
W1:124.13 | Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my | Self, in everlasting holiness and peace. |
W1:125.8 | in the single Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your | Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you |
W1:125.8 | tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never left your | Self. |
W1:127.5 | is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the world to find your | Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly |
W1:127.11 | 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 journey |
W1:127.11 | must learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this message from your | Self: |
W1:128.3 | add another bar across the door that leads to true awareness of your | Self. |
W1:132.1 | in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your | Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, |
W1:132.11 | the lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your | Self is the salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind |
W1:137.3 | But healing is his own decision to be one again and to accept his | Self with all its parts intact and unassailed. In sickness does his |
W1:137.3 | Self with all its parts intact and unassailed. In sickness does his | Self appear to be dismembered and without the unity that gives it |
W1:137.12 | Would you not offer shelter to God's Will? You but invite your | Self to be at home, and can this invitation be refused? Ask the |

W1:152.15 | which the day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your | Self. God's Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your |

W1:192.1 | It is your Father's holy will that you complete Himself and that your | Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love created and |

W2:330.1 | freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its own. The | Self which God created cannot sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us |

Tx:16.49 | Most curious of all is the concept of the | self which the ego fosters in the special relationship. This “self” |

Tx:31.44 | A concept of the | self is made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is |

Tx:31.50 | A concept of the | self is meaningless, for no one here can see what it is for and |
Tx:31.50 | must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of the | self must be undone if any peace of mind is to be given you. Nor can |

Tx:3.77 | cannot deceive, but perception can. Man can perceive himself as | self-creating, but he cannot do more than believe it. He cannot make |
self-debasement (2) | ||
Tx:1.103 | which reliability can only serve. Hostility, triumph, vengeance, | self-debasement, and all kinds of expressions of lack of love are |
W1:61.2 | But the ego does not understand humility, mistaking it for | self-debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in |
self-deceiving (2) | ||
W1:186.2 | to do is to accept our part in genuine humility and not deny with | self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. What is given us to do |

W1:133.14 | it as their own. We will attempt to reach this state today, with | self-deception laid aside and with an honest willingness to value but |
W1:134.9 | not allow your mind to dwell on what you think he did, for this is | self-deception. Ask instead, “Should I accuse myself of doing this?” |
W1:136.2 | is not an accident. Like all defenses, it is an insane device for | self-deception. And like all the rest, its purpose is to hide |
W1:139.2 | things as certain as itself. Uncertainty about what you must be is | self-deception on a scale so vast its magnitude can hardly be |
W1:166.7 | down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth and be released from | self-deception and set free. |

M:4.12 | can even conceive of conflict. Conflict is the inevitable result of | self-deception, and self-deception is dishonesty. There is no |
M:4.12 | conflict. Conflict is the inevitable result of self-deception, and | self-deception is dishonesty. There is no challenge to a teacher of |

W1:135.15 | of truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these | self-deceptions take, for the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet |
W1:R4.5 | is to show you something else and hold correction off through | self-deceptions made to take its place. |
W1:R4.6 | And yet your mind holds only what you think with God. Your | self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. No more than can a |
W1:152.8 | ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the place of | self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son. |
W1:152.14 | Then will we wait in silence, giving up all | self-deceptions as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to |
W1:152.15 | the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for | self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of yourself. |

Tx:3.47 | that it is not there. The truth will always overcome error in this | sense. This is not an active process of destruction at all. We have |
Tx:3.52 | 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 specific |
Tx:3.53 | Nevertheless, they are perfectly stable as God created them. In this | sense, when their behavior is unstable they are disagreeing with |
Tx:3.56 | everything. Once forgiveness has been accepted, prayer in the usual | sense becomes utterly meaningless. Essentially, a prayer for |
Tx:3.61 | Last Judgment there will be no more. This is symbolic only in the | sense that everyone is much better off without judgment. When the |
Tx:3.68 | Despite the apparent contradiction in this position, it is in one | sense more tenable than the view that they created themselves. At |
Tx:3.74 | This makes absolutely no | sense. The whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he himself |
Tx:3.76 | into the self the ability for self-creating. This is the only | sense in which God and His Souls are not co-creators. The belief that |
Tx:4.1 | egocentric is to be dispirited, but to be Self-centered in the right | sense is to be inspired, or in the Soul. The truly inspired are |
Tx:4.29 | You are not prepared, and in this | sense you are babies. You have no sense of real self-preservation and |
Tx:4.29 | You are not prepared, and in this sense you are babies. You have no | sense of real self-preservation and are very likely to decide that |
Tx:4.30 | Only those who have a real and lasting | sense of abundance can be truly charitable. This is quite obvious |
Tx:4.48 | sort of reward for maintaining this belief. All it can offer is a | sense of temporary existence, which begins with its own beginning and |
Tx:4.48 | you this life is your existence because it is its own. Against this | sense of temporary existence the Soul offers you the knowledge of |
Tx:4.59 | that this need not be. Depression always arises ultimately from a | sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. Know |
Tx:4.70 | which judges only in terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In one | sense the ego's fear of the idea of God is at least logical, since |
Tx:4.70 | ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some | sense in ego-terms. But fear of the body, with which the ego |
Tx:4.76 | this because it would immediately become apparent that there was no | sense in his efforts even if he succeeded. If gold became more |
Tx:4.98 | extent you permit this state to be curtailed, you are limiting your | sense of your own reality, which becomes total only by your |
Tx:5.19 | only to listen to it. The Holy Spirit is in you in a very literal | sense. His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before |
Tx:5.22 | been lost, because knowledge is sure. God is not in you in a literal | sense; you are part of Him. When you chose to leave Him, He gave you |
Tx:5.22 | which you must make. In the holy state, the will is free in the | sense that its creative power is unlimited, but choice itself is |
Tx:5.72 | like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it a false | sense of security through the belief that you cannot escape from it. |
Tx:5.94 | therefore be undone. It cannot be undone by repentance in the usual | sense because this implies guilt. If you allow yourself to feel |
Tx:6.19 | speak of the crucifixion entirely without anger, because their own | sense of guilt had made them angry. |
Tx:6.93 | needs protection since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real | sense of being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you |
Tx:7.7 | “first” as applied to Him is not a time concept. He is first in the | sense that He is the first in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the |
Tx:7.31 | a science. It is an art, because it depends on inspiration in the | sense that we have already used the term. Inspiration is the opposite |
Tx:7.38 | else. There is nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal | sense. All being is in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him |
Tx:7.38 | in Him since your being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the | sense of danger the ego has induced in you by not recognizing its |
Tx:7.97 | in it, you are describing what you do not know. That is true in a | sense, but no more true than your failure to acknowledge the whole |
Tx:7.109 | his heart untouched by fear and allow him to give always without any | sense of loss? Does it teach him that this giving is his joy and that |
Tx:8.9 | Does the total disregard of anything it teaches make anything but | sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find |
Tx:8.27 | the problem of this world. Dispelling it is salvation, and in this | sense I am the salvation of the world. |
Tx:8.60 | a learner as to be placed in a curriculum which he cannot learn. His | sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed. Being faced |
Tx:8.61 | Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this | sense, the body does become a temple to God, because His Voice abides |
Tx:8.75 | sight of the function of everything. A sick body does not make any | sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what the body |
Tx:8.75 | everything. A sick body does not make any sense. It could not make | sense, because sickness is not what the body is for. Sickness is |
Tx:8.76 | to collect data which are true. There is no point in trying to make | sense out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in |
Tx:8.95 | A message cannot be said to be communicated unless it makes | sense. How sensible can your messages be when you ask for what you do |
Tx:9.1 | of the kind of “sense” they stand for. They understand this kind of | sense because it is sensible to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no |
Tx:9.1 | because it is sensible to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no | sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to point out |
Tx:9.1 | and good to point out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect | sense to the ego, which is totally unaware of what errors are and |
Tx:9.2 | a brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no | sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the |
Tx:9.2 | is certain that if he is speaking from the ego, he will be making no | sense. But your task is still to tell him he is right. You do not |
Tx:9.3 | at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no | sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything |
Tx:9.4 | do not hear Him, you are listening to your ego and making as little | sense as the brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be |
Tx:9.12 | though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no | sense and will not work. By following it, you will merely place |
Tx:9.13 | tried to do this in my name, forgetting that my words make perfect | sense because they come from God. They are as sensible now as they |
Tx:9.17 | as the First was created. The Second Coming is merely the return of | sense. Can this possibly be fearful? |
Tx:9.42 | as inadequate. Would you look to the ego to help you escape from a | sense of inadequacy it has produced and must maintain for its |
Tx:9.50 | different kinds of threat to its existence. Its own profound | sense of vulnerability renders it incapable of judgment except in |
Tx:9.93 | realize that to deny God is to deny their own identity, and in this | sense the wages of sin is death. The sense is very literal; denial of |
Tx:9.93 | their own identity, and in this sense the wages of sin is death. The | sense is very literal; denial of life perceives its opposite, as all |
Tx:11.3 | There is but one interpretation of all motivation that makes any | sense. And because it is the Holy Spirit's judgment, it requires no |
Tx:11.6 | love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your | sense of strain comes from your attempts not to do just this. |
Tx:11.11 | Fear is a symptom of your deep | sense of loss. If when you perceive it in others you learn to supply |
Tx:11.39 | that the ego must set you on a journey which cannot but lead to a | sense of futility and depression? To seek and not to find is hardly |
Tx:11.44 | not done anything. Once you realize this, there is no longer any | sense in attack, for it manifestly does not work and cannot protect |
Tx:11.46 | need special teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal | sense. |
Tx:11.49 | what can you expect but confusion? The curriculum does not make | sense. |
Tx:11.97 | is always associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a | sense of need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son |
Tx:13.37 | There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a | sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought |
Tx:13.54 | learning goal depends means absolutely nothing. It does make | sense to you. |
Tx:14.19 | that only one means anything, and the other is wholly without | sense of any kind. |
Tx:14.41 | The graciousness of God will take them gently in and cover all their | sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's |
Tx:14.50 | The little sanity which still remains is held together by a | sense of order which you establish. Yet the very fact that you can do |
Tx:14.53 | a lot of words which sound impressive but which lack any consistent | sense when they are put together. |
Tx:15.10 | was born again, you will go forth in time without fear and with no | sense of change with time. |
Tx:15.28 | into believing that littleness can be blown up by them into a | sense of magnitude that can content them. Neither give littleness, |
Tx:15.81 | not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your | sense of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For |
Tx:15.105 | others. For who could thrust Heaven and its Creator aside without a | sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer sacrifice and loss |
Tx:16.5 | but be sure that you desert not him. Humility is strength in this | sense only—to recognize and accept the fact that you do not know is |
Tx:16.19 | successful. Is it not time you brought these facts together and made | sense of them? |
Tx:16.39 | into your mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own | sense of completion and thus denies the wholeness of your Father. |
Tx:16.64 | In the transition there is a period of confusion in which a | sense of actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for |
Tx:17.2 | you have accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a | sense acknowledges your power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it |
Tx:17.29 | minds so completely that you will not hear the call of truth. In a | sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation |
Tx:17.45 | goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to make no | sense. Many relationships have been broken off at this point, and the |
Tx:17.50 | your relationship, for it will seem at times to have no purpose. A | sense of aimlessness will come to haunt you and to remind you of all |
Tx:17.59 | set at the outset, the situation just seems to happen and makes no | sense until it has already happened. Then you look back at it and try |
Tx:18.58 | whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a | sense of being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation |
Tx:18.58 | of freedom sometimes experienced in special relationships. It is a | sense of actual escape from limitations. |
Tx:18.61 | contain you. You go where you would be, gaining, not losing, a | sense of self. In these instants of release from physical |
Tx:19.99 | is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it seems to make no | sense. How can you know that it is over unless you realize its |
Tx:21.50 | as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will experience depression, a | sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. |
Tx:22.4 | And now the sameness which you saw extends and finally removes all | sense of differences so that the sameness that lies beneath them all |
Tx:22.5 | behalf. And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your | sense of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of |
Tx:22.6 | that the world you see through eyes which are not yours must make no | sense to you. To whom would vision such as this send back its |
Tx:22.29 | for here is the beginning of a vision that has meaning. Vision is | sense, quite literally. If it is not the body's sight, it must be |
Tx:22.46 | goes against the truth, flies in the face of reason, and makes no | sense. Can this be justified? What can this be except an invitation |
Tx:23.43 | be different, and yet the same remain intact as one. Does this make | sense? Can it be understood? |
Tx:23.54 | can win. Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness and a | sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar |
Tx:24.36 | that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less | sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For |
Tx:24.36 | could make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more | sense to miracles. For miracles are merely change of purpose from |
Tx:24.37 | This shift in purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the | sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not |
Tx:24.49 | He is your savior from the dreams of fear. He is the healing of your | sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have will scatter with the |
Tx:24.61 | do through Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment makes no | sense at all, for only what His Father wills is possible, and there |
Tx:25.14 | up the hopeless and unrewarding task you set yourself. Can it make | sense to hold the fixed belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit |
Tx:25.37 | a meaning from the other. Each depends upon the other for whatever | sense it seems to have. And no one could believe in one unless the |
Tx:25.52 | is this world a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any | sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes |
Tx:25.52 | believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no | sense and has no meaning is insanity. And what is madness cannot be |
Tx:25.52 | all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and make no | sense at all. This is the choice you make. Do not attempt to see it |
Tx:25.56 | is their choices are not free and made with reason in the light of | sense. |
Tx:26.5 | merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it | sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this |
Tx:26.51 | some are more true than others, although this clearly makes no | sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can show is |
Tx:26.58 | find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a | sense of isolation, loss, and loneliness. This is the treasure he has |
Tx:26.73 | form is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really | sense in this idea. |
Tx:27.64 | as it is could fail to see it does not follow, and it makes no | sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks as if the world were |
Tx:28.47 | What is a | sense of sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and |
Tx:28.47 | What is a sense of sickness but a | sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating from? A gap |
Tx:28.51 | seen and heard and understood. For eyes and ears are senses without | sense, and what they see and hear they but report. It is not they |
Tx:28.65 | What is the | sense in seeking to be safe in what was made for danger and for fear? |
Tx:29.69 | so deep and bitter that the dream cannot conceal completely all your | sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is |
Tx:30.20 | This works against the | sense of opposition and reminds you that help is not being thrust |
Tx:30.27 | Thus you now can ask a question that makes | sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor will you fight |
Tx:30.27 | now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make | sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is |
Tx:30.73 | This is the false forgiveness which the world employs to keep the | sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is just, it seems impossible |
Tx:31.25 | you cannot see which way you go. And thus there is confusion and a | sense of endless doubting as you stagger back and forward in the |
Tx:31.39 | is ever found by following a road away from it. This makes no | sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to find this course to |
Tx:31.63 | a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no | sense at all. This one appears and disappears in death; that one is |
Tx:31.73 | forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter | sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed |
W1:4.1 | look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a | sense, none of them can be called “good” or “bad.” This is why they |
W1:11.2 | repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste and with no | sense of urgency or effort. |
W1:12.9 | this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you experience a | sense of strain. |
W1:19.2 | welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous | sense of responsibility and may even be regarded as an “invasion of |
W1:25.4 | Before you can make any | sense out of the exercises for today, one more thought is necessary. |
W1:26.6 | The concern may take the form of depression, worry, anger, a | sense of imposition, fear, foreboding, or preoccupation. Any problem |
W1:29.7 | to yourself. At least once or twice you should experience a | sense of restfulness as you do this. |
W1:31.3 | repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no | sense of hurry. |
W1:33.2 | surveying your outer and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt | sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you |
W1:34.7 | minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you feel some | sense of relief. It will help you if you tell yourself specifically: |
W1:38.4 | idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any | sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to make |
W1:38.8 | The purpose of today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a | sense that you have dominion over all things because of what you are. |
W1:41.1 | Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the | sense of loneliness and abandonment which all the separated ones |
W1:41.1 | inevitable consequence of separation. So are anxiety, worry, a deep | sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of loss. |
W1:41.5 | Then make no effort to think of anything. Try instead to get a | sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try |
W1:44.4 | but only if you find the time merely slipping by with little or no | sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use today is the most |
W1:44.8 | no particular form of approach is advocated, what is needful is a | sense of the importance of what you are doing, its inestimable value |
W1:44.10 | If you are doing the exercises correctly, you should experience some | sense of relaxation and even a feeling that you are approaching if |
W1:47.6 | Now try to slip past all concerns related to your own | sense of inadequacy. It is obvious that any situation that causes you |
W1:47.8 | safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a | sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things |
W1:51.4 | understand what I see because it is not understandable. There is no | sense in trying to understand it. But there is every reason to let it |
W1:62.3 | to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all | sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will take |
W1:65.10 | You need not use these exact words, but try to get a | sense of being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced |
W1:69.7 | If you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a | sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your little effort and |
W1:71.6 | in all ways. The result can only bring confusion, misery, and a deep | sense of failure and despair. |
W1:73.1 | and therefore have no power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the | sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your belief |
W1:74.11 | is easily detected. If you are succeeding, you will feel a deep | sense of joy and an increased alertness rather than a feeling of |
W1:76.1 | things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no | sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where it is not. |
W1:91.4 | within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your | sense of weakness hides will leap into awareness as you feel the |
W1:91.12 | particularly on the experience of strength. Remember that all | sense of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a body, |
W1:95.3 | to be aware of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect | sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One |
W1:96.1 | two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This | sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and |
W1:102.1 | enough to let you question it and to suspect it really makes no | sense. It has not gone as yet but lacks the roots that once secured |
W1:107.3 | Then let the | sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times and then |
W1:121.1 | peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world which seems to make no | sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers which appear to |
W1:122.1 | Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a | sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care |
W1:124.11 | hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a | sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to |
W1:132.19 | by as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you will | sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet |
W1:134.18 | practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you will begin to | sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your chest, a deep |
W1:135.2 | from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A | sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a |
W1:135.3 | ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its | sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have |
W1:136.19 | not feel at all. If you have been successful, there will be no | sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No |
W1:138.3 | for nothing in return. And time goes by without results. There is no | sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished; nothing learned. |
W1:153.4 | of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The | sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper and so far |
W1:154.6 | they bear, but they become their first receivers in the truest | sense, receiving to prepare themselves to give. |
W1:155.4 | while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from a | sense of loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have |
W1:155.4 | have chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a | sense of loss still deeper, which they did not understand. |
W1:161.4 | itself to think specifically can no longer grasp abstraction in the | sense that it is all-encompassing. We need to see a little that we |
W1:162.5 | joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all | sense of loss, and for complete escape from sin and guilt? |
W1:164.4 | ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a | sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All |
W1:I2.1 | as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the | sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only |
W1:I2.2 | to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words alone cannot convey the | sense of liberation which their lifting brings. But the experience of |
W1:184.4 | of little things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a | sense of unity or vision which sees differently become the threats |
W1:187.5 | for they cannot be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the | sense the world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, |
W1:198.13 | where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no | sense. Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth, made |
W1:200.1 | the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak despair, and | sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is |
W2:WS.3 | Salvation is undoing in the | sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams |
W2:249.1 | where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger makes no | sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now |

Tx:4.84 | We have spoken of the ego as if it were a | separate thing acting on its own. This was necessary to persuade you |
Tx:4.88 | against all truly natural impulses, not because the ego is a | separate thing, but because you want to believe that you are. The ego |
Tx:4.94 | specific. It is the part that believes your existence means you are | separate. |
Tx:4.95 | Everything the ego perceives is a | separate whole, without the relationships that imply being. The ego |
Tx:5.56 | Ideas do not leave the mind which thought them to have a | separate being, nor do separate thoughts conflict with one another in |
Tx:5.56 | leave the mind which thought them to have a separate being, nor do | separate thoughts conflict with one another in space, because they do |
Tx:5.90 | Do you really believe that you can devise a thought system which can | separate you from His? Do you really believe that you can plan for |
Tx:5.92 | defense of its own existence. It reflects both the ego's need to | separate and your willingness to side with its separateness. This |
Tx:6.46 | that you are without it. This enables the ego to regard itself as | separate and outside its maker, thus speaking for the part of your |
Tx:6.46 | maker, thus speaking for the part of your mind that believes you are | separate and outside the Mind of God. The ego, then, raised the first |
Tx:6.63 | only the mind is real since only the mind can be shared. The body is | separate and therefore cannot be part of you. To be of one mind is |
Tx:7.13 | error in that it refers to something that exists among different or | separate people. When we spoke before of the extremely personal |
Tx:7.13 | the revelation in terms of sharing. A person conceives of himself as | separate largely because he perceives of himself as bounded by a |
Tx:7.32 | be misunderstood as magic and will be whenever it is undertaken as | separate from what already is and perceived as a means for |
Tx:7.35 | must be translated into a way of remembering and not perceived as a | separate ability which opposes an opposite. That is the way in which |
Tx:7.36 | in any way or to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and | separate. The Holy Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal |
Tx:7.46 | with Himself, and you cannot be out of accord with Him. You cannot | separate your self from your Creator, Who created you by sharing His |
Tx:7.65 | you cannot know the Creator, since God and His creation are not | separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the creation is your |
Tx:7.79 | believes. Projection always sees your will in others. If you will to | separate yourself from God, that is what you will think others are |
Tx:8.31 | will is the mechanism of decision. It is the power by which you | separate or join and experience pain or joy accordingly. My will |
Tx:8.36 | wills fuse into something whose power is far beyond the power of its | separate parts. By not being separate, the Will of God is established |
Tx:8.36 | power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being | separate, the Will of God is established in ours and as ours. This |
Tx:8.38 | God's Oneness and ours are not | separate, because His Oneness encompasses ours. To join with me is to |
Tx:8.47 | of God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not created | separate from His, and so it wills as He wills. |
Tx:8.63 | induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the body as a | separate entity cannot but foster illness because it is not true. A |
Tx:8.64 | To communicate is to join and to attack is to | separate. How can you do both simultaneously with the same thing and |
Tx:8.70 | perception. In perception the whole is built up of parts, which can | separate and reassemble in different constellations. Knowledge never |
Tx:8.85 | The ego, which always weakens the will, wants to | separate the body from the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, |
Tx:8.87 | to be perfect, to heal all errors, to take no thought of the body as | separate, and to accomplish all things in my name. This is not my |
Tx:9.7 | brother. His errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more | separate than love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes |
Tx:9.7 | yours. Atonement is no more separate than love. Atonement cannot be | separate, because it comes from love. Any attempt you make to correct |
Tx:9.76 | Your minds are not | separate, and God has only one channel for healing, because He has |
Tx:9.76 | of this is to heal them, because it is the awareness that no one is | separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be |
Tx:10.30 | If you will bless him in time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot | separate you from God if you use it on behalf of the eternal. |
Tx:10.43 | ego autonomy. From the beginning, then, its purpose is to be | separate, sufficient unto itself, and independent of any power except |
Tx:10.49 | Your recognition that whatever seems to | separate you from God is only fear, regardless of the form it takes |
Tx:10.53 | of wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to | separate out. The attempt to understand totality by breaking it up is |
Tx:10.70 | They are still perceptions because he still believes that he is | separate. Yet they are eternal because they are loving. And being |
Tx:10.84 | is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in no way | separate from His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the |
Tx:11.32 | mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if you could really | separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the |
Tx:11.60 | What is one cannot be perceived as | separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of |
Tx:11.85 | herein lies the split. For the mind that judges perceives itself as | separate from the mind being judged, believing that by punishing |
Tx:12.34 | whole. For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one | separate mind only. |
Tx:12.36 | not wish to die, yet they will not let condemnation go. And so they | separate into their private worlds, where everything is disordered |
Tx:12.50 | unbroken, for they are not separated by the past. Only the past can | separate, and it is nowhere. |
Tx:12.59 | no buildings, and there are no streets where people walk alone and | separate. There are no stores where people buy an endless list of |
Tx:13.2 | about knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore no aspect is | separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind of God, |
Tx:13.4 | the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not | separate from either, being in the mind of both and knowing that mind |
Tx:13.14 | you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy Spirit can | separate the false and the true, which you have accepted into your |
Tx:13.44 | has placed within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He cannot | separate himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand |
Tx:13.73 | by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's Son can be | separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the |
Tx:13.87 | God beside you. For until you do, you will still think that you are | separate from Him. You can feel His Presence next to you but cannot |
Tx:14.20 | made have use to Him for His most holy purpose. He knows you are not | separate from God, but He perceives much in your mind that lets you |
Tx:14.20 | that lets you think you are. All this, and nothing else, would He | separate from you. The power of decision, which you made in place of |
Tx:14.22 | He will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will | separate out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering |
Tx:14.28 | denies the other. Apart, this fact is lost from sight, for each in a | separate place can be endowed with firm belief. Bring them together, |
Tx:14.72 | Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not | separate. They are cause and effect, each to the other, so where one |
Tx:15.21 | will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to | separate out this single second and begin to experience it as |
Tx:15.21 | experience it as timeless, is to begin to experience yourself as not | separate. Fear not that you will not be given help in this. God's |
Tx:15.46 | into your relationships and thus make them unreal. If you seek to | separate out certain aspects of the totality and look to them to meet |
Tx:15.54 | join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way | separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares |
Tx:15.82 | this universe, being of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the | separate bodies you perceive. For all its parts are joined in God |
Tx:15.90 | your sight grows weak and dim and limited, for you have attempted to | separate the Father from the Son and limit their communication. Seek |
Tx:15.95 | governs all of them. When you are willing to regard them not as | separate but as different manifestations of the same idea, and one |
Tx:16.8 | needs of one, you do not jeopardize another because you keep them | separate and secret from each other. That is not the way, for it |
Tx:16.53 | in the special relationship. An altar is erected in between two | separate people on which each seeks to kill his self and on his body |

Tx:17.30 | with Him has never been broken because the Holy Spirit has not been | separate from anyone since the separation. And through Him have all |

Tx:17.79 | risen far beyond any situation that could hold you back and keep you | separate from Him Whose call you answered. |
Tx:18.2 | in which they are perceived as different. One would unite; the other | separate. Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the |
Tx:18.7 | insanely in the wind, have no substance. They fuse and merge and | separate in shifting and totally meaningless patterns which need not |
Tx:18.28 | Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can | separate your desire from His Will and from His strength. I hold your |
Tx:18.28 | your hand as surely as you agreed to take each other's. You will not | separate, for I stand with you and walk with you in your advance to |
Tx:18.30 | past. Time has been readjusted to help us do together what your | separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past fear, for no two |
Tx:18.49 | God created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it | separate from Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling-place of |
Tx:18.50 | your minds, for guilt has entered into them, and they would remain | separate, which they cannot do. |
Tx:18.51 | to be fragmented and private and alone. Its guilt, which keeps it | separate, is projected to the body, which suffers and dies because it |
Tx:18.55 | but you do not identify with them. You see yourself locked in a | separate prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out |
Tx:18.59 | you unite with it. And both become whole as neither is perceived as | separate. What really happens is that you have given up the illusion |
Tx:18.75 | a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a | separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone and in no way |
Tx:18.76 | itself as you. It is not missing; it could not exist if it were | separate, nor would the whole be whole without it. It is not a |
Tx:18.76 | were separate, nor would the whole be whole without it. It is not a | separate kingdom, ruled by an idea of separation from the rest. Nor |
Tx:18.76 | the whole, being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no | separate life because its life is the oneness in which its being was |
Tx:18.84 | tiny part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and | separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's |
Tx:18.85 | holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it. Be you not | separate, for the One Who does surround it has brought union to you, |
Tx:19.5 | all limitations and make whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and | separate; faith would unite and heal.] Faithlessness would interpose |
Tx:19.8 | is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is never | separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the body |
Tx:19.11 | is His love that joins you, and for His love you would keep no one | separate from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the |
Tx:19.15 | As faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and | separate, so will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for |
Tx:19.20 | it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation away from truth and keep it | separate? |
Tx:19.36 | let not sin arise again to blind your eyes. For sin would keep you | separate, but your Redeemer would have you look upon each other as |
Tx:19.42 | it. What you would still contain behind your little barrier and keep | separate from each other seems mightier than the universe, for it |
Tx:19.106 | and share in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not | separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy |
Tx:20.17 | and interposing them between those who would meet to keep them | separate and prevent their union. It is this studied interference |
Tx:20.64 | without the end for which it was intended, nor is it valued as a | separate thing apart from the intention. The means seem real because |
Tx:21.20 | will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be | separate from his own. |
Tx:21.28 | which seems to stand between you, keeping you from each other and | separate from your Father, you made in secret, and the instant of |
Tx:21.51 | seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand how | separate minds can influence each other. Nor could they do so. But |
Tx:21.51 | can influence each other. Nor could they do so. But minds cannot be | separate. This other Self is perfectly aware of this. And thus It |
Tx:21.60 | and look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be | separate. But reason tells you that this must be wrong. If you are |
Tx:21.61 | for itself unless the body were the mind. For only bodies can be | separate and therefore unreal. The home of madness cannot be the home |
Tx:21.63 | The body does not | separate you from your brother, and if you think it does, you are |
Tx:21.64 | never be corrected. You tell him by your choice that he is damned— | separate from you and from his Father forever and without a hope of |
Tx:22.11 | So in each holy relationship is the ability to communicate instead of | separate reborn. Yet a holy relationship, so recently reborn itself |
Tx:22.12 | has entered, no one is alone, for never could He find a home in | separate ones. Yet must He be reborn into His ancient home, so |
Tx:22.27 | upon its will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no | separate will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its will has |
Tx:22.27 | have it be. Here is no separate will nor the desire that anything be | separate. Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. |
Tx:22.29 | not ambiguous. It can be understood. And here do reason and the ego | separate to go their different ways. |
Tx:22.47 | together with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can | separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father Whom |
Tx:22.50 | cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the belief that you are | separate. Not one that does not seem to stand, heavy and solid and |
Tx:22.61 | this is your attempt because you think the Father and the Son are | separate. And you must think that they are separate because of fear. |
Tx:22.61 | Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that they are | separate because of fear. For it seems safer to attack another or |
Tx:22.62 | The only way it could be justified is if each one of you were | separate from the other, and all were separate from your Creator. For |
Tx:22.62 | is if each one of you were separate from the other, and all were | separate from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to |
Tx:22.65 | given you to be used and not obscured. What teaches you you cannot | separate, denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the |
Tx:23.20 | everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is | separate and has a different set of thoughts which sets him off from |
Tx:23.23 | enemies. And their relationship is one of opposition, just as the | separate aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join. |
Tx:24.10 | suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice or stab of hate or wish to | separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share becomes |
Tx:24.22 | with Him Who chose that love could never be divided and kept | separate from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's; |
Tx:24.24 | self. Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart and | separate from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity |
Tx:24.27 | not God's. So does it seem to split you off from God and make you | separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what God created |
Tx:24.50 | one with him and you—that what he has is yours because you are not | separate from him nor from his Father. |
Tx:24.59 | and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a | separate universe with all the power to hold itself complete within |
Tx:24.69 | will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose | separate because they were so made and so perceived. And therefore do |
Tx:25.6 | of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are never | separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart has none. |
Tx:25.7 | You are the means for God—not | separate nor with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you |
Tx:25.7 | Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you | separate and apart. |
Tx:25.8 | Since you believe that you are | separate, Heaven presents itself to you as separate too. Not that it |
Tx:25.8 | you believe that you are separate, Heaven presents itself to you as | separate too. Not that it is in truth, but that the link that has |
Tx:25.8 | brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been | separate, and Christ abides within your understanding in the part of |
Tx:25.8 | The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be | separate, different, and special, to the Christ, to make the oneness |
Tx:25.10 | as if they were discrete, for while you think that part of you is | separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one is meaningless. It |
Tx:25.11 | What is the same can not be different, and what is one can not have | separate parts. |
Tx:25.17 | is the frame God set around the part of Him that you would see as | separate. Yet its frame is joined to its Creator, one with Him and |
Tx:25.17 | it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your | separate purpose that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame |
Tx:25.21 | Forgive your brother, and you cannot | separate yourself from him nor from his Father. You need no |
Tx:25.22 | light be yours to share; that you may see as one what never has been | separate nor apart from all God's love as given equally. |
Tx:25.24 | it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let Himself be | separate entirely. He could not enter His Son's insanity with him, |
Tx:25.71 | But vengeance without love has gained in strength by being | separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and |
Tx:25.74 | is but for this—that each one learn that love and justice are not | separate. And both are strengthened by their union with each other. |
Tx:25.83 | more condemned, and thus apart from healing. Who is there who can be | separate from salvation if its purpose is the end of specialness? |
Tx:26.1 | saving just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another body | separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little part |
Tx:26.4 | And while you see your brother as a body, apart from you and | separate in his cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him and you. |
Tx:26.4 | Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be | separate and without the other. The memory of God must be denied if |
Tx:26.4 | What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a world of | separate bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible |
Tx:26.9 | keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task apart and | separate from His Own? |
Tx:26.26 | has been forgiven must join, for nothing stands between to keep them | separate and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for |
Tx:26.26 | recognizing what is part of them has not been kept apart and | separate. |
Tx:26.54 | off is symbolized in your perception by a body which is clearly | separate and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but |
Tx:26.54 | Yet what this symbol represents is but your wish to be apart and | separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and |
Tx:26.59 | feel guilty, though without understanding why. Effects are seen as | separate from their source and seem to be beyond you to control or to |
Tx:26.60 | Cause and effect are one, not | separate. God wills you learn what always has been true—that He |
Tx:26.61 | possible when cause and consequence are brought together, not kept | separate. The healing of effect without the cause can merely shift |
Tx:26.62 | but deceive yourself. What God calls one will be forever one, not | separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus will |
Tx:26.68 | little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a little | separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes different |
Tx:26.69 | a little careful and a little watchful of interests perceived as | separate. From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what |
Tx:26.72 | judged as fearful. And in overlooking this, is it protected and kept | separate from healing. For a miracle is now. It stands already here |
Tx:26.77 | him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that Heaven is not | separate from you. |
Tx:26.84 | Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never | separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at last. |
Tx:27.24 | [Correction you would do must | separate, because that is the function given it by you. When you |
Tx:27.27 | His. For only thus can He keep yours preserved intact, despite your | separate views of what your function is. If He upheld divided |
Tx:27.28 | His single purpose unifies the halves of you which you perceive as | separate. And each forgives the other, that he may accept his other |
Tx:27.41 | does the meaningfulness of the answer come. Here is it possible to | separate your wishes from the answer, so it can be given you and also |
Tx:27.52 | And their common answer shows the questions could not have been | separate. |
Tx:27.53 | really are. Infinity cannot be understood by merely counting up its | separate parts. God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a |
Tx:27.68 | they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees is | separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his dreams' reality because |
Tx:27.69 | Helpless he stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished by a | separate mind. Careless indeed of him this mind must be, as |
Tx:27.82 | the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as | separate from himself and done to him. Into eternity, where all is |
Tx:27.83 | in which is time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a | separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of |
Tx:27.90 | from no one but yourself. And it is this that has maintained you | separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you. Now |
Tx:27.90 | has maintained you separate from the world and kept your brother | separate from you. Now need you but to learn that both of you are |
Tx:28.18 | seen. A mind within a body and a world of other bodies, each with | separate minds, are your “creations,” you the “other” mind, creating |
Tx:28.25 | world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as | separate things need not be feared. And so they are not sick. |
Tx:28.29 | No mind is sick until another mind agrees that they are | separate. And thus it is their joint decision to be sick. If you |
Tx:28.29 | project its guilt without your aid in letting it perceive itself as | separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not perceived as sick |
Tx:28.29 | you. Thus is the body not perceived as sick by both your minds, from | separate points of view. Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the |
Tx:28.29 | the effect of minds which join, as sickness comes from minds which | separate. |
Tx:28.30 | The miracle does nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot | separate. Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and separate |
Tx:28.30 | and cannot separate. Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and | separate minds are seen as bodies which are separated and which |
Tx:28.32 | they have joined and covered up the space which seemed to keep them | separate for a little while? Where are the grounds for sickness when |
Tx:28.34 | picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a | separate and uncertain bit of clay? |
Tx:28.37 | of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish to | separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that |
Tx:28.38 | apart from them but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus you | separate the dreamer from the dream and join [with] one but let the |
Tx:28.40 | To join his dreams is thus to meet him not because his dreams would | separate from you. Therefore, release him, merely by your claim on |
Tx:28.44 | again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to every | separate piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he |
Tx:28.56 | does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to be a | separate thing. And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the |
Tx:28.61 | What is unseparated must be joined. And what is joined cannot be | separate. |
Tx:29.3 | is your enemy. Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that your | separate interests made your friendship possible a little while. But |
Tx:29.4 | The gap between you is not one of space between two | separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing off your separate |
Tx:29.4 | between two separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing off your | separate minds. It is the symbol of a promise made to meet when you |
Tx:29.4 | It is the symbol of a promise made to meet when you prefer and | separate until you both elect to meet again. And then your bodies |
Tx:29.4 | a meeting-place to join. But always is it possible to go your | separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to separate will you |
Tx:29.4 | possible to go your separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to | separate will you agree to meet from time to time and keep apart in |
Tx:29.4 | from total sacrifice and gives you time in which to build again your | separate selves, which you believe diminish as you meet. |
Tx:29.5 | The body could not | separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause of separation |
Tx:29.11 | the power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle is not a | separate thing which happens suddenly, as an effect without a cause. |
Tx:29.13 | your help in giving them to all who walk apart believing they are | separate and alone. They will be healed when you accept your gifts, |
Tx:29.36 | death—a dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil | separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to share this |
Tx:29.54 | does not put out the sun. No more a veil can banish what it seems to | separate nor darken by one whit the light itself. |
Tx:29.55 | idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its purpose is to | separate your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet |
Tx:29.68 | Forgiving dreams have little need to last. They are not made to | separate the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the |
Tx:30.41 | a gap which is not there. It is not this you want. Creation gives no | separate person and no separate thing the power to complete the Son |
Tx:30.41 | It is not this you want. Creation gives no separate person and no | separate thing the power to complete the Son of God. What idol can be |
Tx:30.43 | die. They share the attributes of their creator, nor have they a | separate life apart from his. The thoughts you think are in your |
Tx:30.43 | as you are in the mind Which thought of you. And so there are no | separate parts in what exists within God's Mind. It is forever one, |
Tx:30.87 | but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep. Look not to | separate dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared. |
Tx:30.89 | Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it real and keeps it | separate from all appearances. It must transcend all form to be |
Tx:31.15 | it really not a choice at all. The leader and the follower emerge as | separate roles, each seeming to possess advantages you would not want |
Tx:31.17 | and for help, is not the same in outcome. Hear the one, and you are | separate from him and are lost. But hear the other, and you join with |
Tx:31.41 | road in all the world will lead within, when every road was made to | separate the journey from the purpose it must have unless it be but |
Tx:31.79 | whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself apart and | separate. |

W1:28.2 | what is by itself? And what does “in itself” mean? You see a lot of | separate things about you, which really means you are not seeing at |

W1:132.14 | There is no world because it is a thought apart from God and made to | separate the Father and the Son and break away a part of God Himself |
W1:135.10 | which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as | separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body |

W1:136.7 | When parts are wrested from the whole and seen as | separate and as wholes within themselves, they become symbols |

W1:137.1 | the opposite of all the world's ideas which dwell on sickness and on | separate states. Sickness is a retreat from others and a shutting off |
W1:137.1 | and a shutting off of joining. It becomes a door that closes on a | separate self and keeps it isolated and alone. |
W1:137.3 | that anyone be healed alone. In sickness must he be apart and | separate. But healing is his own decision to be one again and to |
W1:152.5 | which sets the truth apart from falsehood, and the false kept | separate from the truth as what it is. |
W1:156.1 | can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world alone and | separate from your Source? |

W1:167.11 | thoughts as well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot | separate in death and leave the Source of Life from where it came. |

W1:184.3 | things un-unified, of bodies kept apart and holding bits of mind as | separate awarenesses? You gave these names to them, establishing |
W1:184.8 | as his own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you perceive him | separate from you, and he accepts this separate name as his. |

Tx:2.11 | distortions represent a picture of what actually occurred in the | separation. None of this existed before, nor does it actually exist |

Tx:2.106 | judgment into being only because of the separation. After the | separation, however, there was a place for judgment as one of the |
Tx:2.106 | devices which had to be built into the overall plan. Just as the | separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment |

Tx:4.48 | why the ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The ego arose from the | separation, and its continued existence depends on your continuing |
Tx:4.48 | and its continued existence depends on your continuing belief in the | separation. Having reduced the Soul impulses to the unconscious, the |
Tx:4.88 | Soul do not know each other. The separated mind cannot maintain the | separation except by dissociating. Having done this, it utilizes |
Tx:5.11 | knowledge that lies beyond perception. It came into being with the | separation as a protection, inspiring the beginning of the Atonement |
Tx:5.17 | is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the will to heal the | separation by letting it go. This will is in you, because God placed |
Tx:5.18 | This is the vocation of the mind. The mind had no calling until the | separation, because before that it had only being and would not have |
Tx:5.18 | the call to right thinking. The Holy Spirit was God's Answer to the | separation, the means by which the Atonement could repair until the |
Tx:5.19 | The Atonement and the | separation began at the same time. When man made the ego, God placed |
Tx:5.21 | and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into its own. Before the | separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you will know |
Tx:5.32 | The relationship must be in His Mind because, unless it were, the | separation between the two ways of thinking would not be open to |
Tx:5.40 | Those which you accept are the foundations of your beliefs. The | separation is merely another term for a split mind. It was not an |
Tx:5.40 | split mind. It was not an act, but a thought. Therefore, the idea of | separation can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either |
Tx:5.41 | The ego is the symbol of | separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you |

Tx:6.1 | and fear is not always so clear. Anger always involves projection of | separation, which must ultimately be accepted as entirely one's own |
Tx:6.24 | to teach that all forms of rejection are utterly meaningless. The | separation is the notion of rejection. As long as you teach this, you |

Tx:6.27 | belief in your own split mind, and its only purpose is to keep the | separation going. It is solely a device of the ego to make you feel |
Tx:6.34 | full awareness of the Atonement, then, is the recognition that the | separation never occurred. The ego cannot prevail against this |
Tx:6.48 | makes the body the ego's friend. It is an alliance frankly based on | separation. If you side with this alliance, you will be afraid, |
Tx:6.56 | Teaching aims at change, but God created only the changeless. The | separation was not a loss of perfection but a failure in |
Tx:6.62 | The body is the symbol of what you think you are. It is clearly a | separation device and therefore does not exist. The Holy Spirit, as |
Tx:6.62 | as always, He re-interprets what the ego uses as an argument for | separation into a demonstration against it. If the mind can heal the |
Tx:7.9 | thus making the Kingdom itself obscure to both of you. Sickness and | separation are not of God, but the Kingdom is. If you obscure the |
Tx:7.45 | Healing never does. Fear produces dissociation, because it induces | separation. Healing always produces harmony, because it proceeds from |
Tx:7.69 | Creation, not | separation, is your will because it is God's, and nothing that |
Tx:7.90 | the belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the idea of | separation and affirming your true identification with the whole |
Tx:7.105 | me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The whole | separation lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the fallacy is |

Tx:8.56 | Communication ends | separation. Attack promotes it. The body is beautiful or ugly, holy |
Tx:8.63 | its own extension beyond it, will induce illness by fostering | separation. Perceiving the body as a separate entity cannot but |
Tx:8.96 | Your will is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The | separation is nothing more than the belief that it is different. |
Tx:9.16 | ridiculous as it seems, is really the crucial issue in the whole | separation fantasy. Anyone who elects a totally insane guide must be |
Tx:9.67 | for if to desire wholly is to create, you will have willed away the | separation, returning your mind simultaneously to your Creator and |
Tx:9.92 | the returning, the little light must be acknowledged first, for the | separation was a descent from magnitude to littleness. But the spark |
Tx:10.16 | If sickness is | separation, the will to heal and be healed is the first step toward |
Tx:10.41 | “Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the whole | separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the power to |
Tx:10.43 | of any power except its own. This is why it is the symbol of | separation. |
Tx:10.46 | The ego always attacks on behalf of | separation. Believing it has the power to do this, it does nothing |
Tx:10.48 | is indeed the skill at which it is very ingenious. How can it preach | separation without upholding it through fear, and would you listen to |
Tx:10.53 | that the ego believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in | separation, and to establish this belief it must attack. Unaware that |
Tx:10.53 | belief cannot be established and obsessed with the conviction that | separation is salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by |
Tx:10.53 | meaning. The ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if | separation is salvation, harmony is threat. |
Tx:10.85 | In the real world there is no sickness, for there is no | separation and no division. Only loving thoughts are recognized, and |
Tx:11.13 | truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of | separation with the fact of unity. For the separation is only the |
Tx:11.13 | to replace your dream of separation with the fact of unity. For the | separation is only the denial of union and, correctly interpreted, |
Tx:11.32 | Mind of God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a world of | separation. |
Tx:11.46 | a split mind has made itself a poor learner. You tried to make the | separation eternal because you wanted to retain the characteristics |
Tx:11.60 | What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the | separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of God, |
Tx:11.86 | of guilt into the Mind of God's Son was the beginning of the | separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. The world |
Tx:11.86 | Their growth is attended by suffering, and they learn of sorrow and | separation and death. Their minds are trapped in their brain, and its |
Tx:11.94 | guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting | separation in place of unity. You can condemn only yourself, and by |
Tx:12.12 | not believe that it saves you from love. For this wish caused the | separation. You have protected it because you do not want the |
Tx:12.12 | the separation. You have protected it because you do not want the | separation healed, and you realize that, by removing the dark cloud |
Tx:12.69 | and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees salvation, it sees | separation, and so you lose whatever you have gotten in its name. |

Tx:13.26 | does what God would have Him do and has always done so. He has seen | separation, but knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also knows |
Tx:14.8 | and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the world of | separation slip away and full communication be restored between the |
Tx:14.20 | You have interpreted the | separation as a means which you have made for breaking your |
Tx:14.24 | Opposites must be brought together and not kept apart. For their | separation is only in your mind, and they are reconciled by union, as |

Tx:15.47 | with special love, can offer you salvation is the belief that | separation is salvation. For it is the complete equality of the |
Tx:15.52 | would see them all the same and like yourself. Nor would you see any | separation between yourself and them. In the holy instant, you see in |
Tx:15.58 | All | separation vanishes as holiness is shared. For holiness is power, and |
Tx:15.82 | where they become like to their Father. For Christ knows of no | separation from His Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He |
Tx:15.86 | The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the | separation. And both are nothing more than attempts to limit |
Tx:15.90 | the Son and limit their communication. Seek not Atonement in further | separation. And limit not your vision of God's Son to what interferes |
Tx:15.91 | the body only for purposes of communication and renounce its use for | separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will learn you |
Tx:15.104 | You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is | separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love |
Tx:16.25 | and you, as you are God and Him together. For God's answer to the | separation added more to you than you tried to take away. He |
Tx:16.36 | The special love relationship is an attempt [to bring love into | separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt] to |
Tx:16.45 | This is the “natural” condition of the | separation, and those who learn that it is not natural at all seem to |
Tx:16.45 | illusion of love is accepted in love's place, love is perceived as | separation and exclusion. |
Tx:16.46 | is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would never have you see that | separation can only be loss, being the one condition in which Heaven |
Tx:16.52 | For these are only attributes of the whole religion of the | separation and of the total context in which it is thought to occur. |
Tx:16.57 | The core of the | separation delusion lies simply in the fantasy of destruction of |
Tx:16.57 | restored to you, you cannot know yourself, who shares its meaning. | Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its whole |
Tx:16.60 | yourself from it. For the love of God, no longer seek for union in | separation nor for freedom in bondage! As you release, so will you be |
Tx:17.6 | knows the truth and in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from | separation will be complete or will be not at all.] Be not concerned |
Tx:17.15 | of another and not harm yourself. They speak so clearly for the | separation that no one not obsessed with keeping separation could |
Tx:17.15 | so clearly for the separation that no one not obsessed with keeping | separation could hear them. They offer you the “reasons” why you |
Tx:17.19 | as a means of communication into relationships whose only purpose is | separation from reality? What forgiveness is enables Him to do so. |
Tx:17.20 | That is why Atonement centers on the past, which is the source of | separation, and where it must be undone. For separation must be |
Tx:17.20 | which is the source of separation, and where it must be undone. For | separation must be corrected where it was made. The ego seeks to |
Tx:17.21 | it is and there undoes it. And with each step in His undoing is the | separation more and more undone and union brought closer. He is not |
Tx:17.21 | union brought closer. He is not at all confused by any “reasons” for | separation. All He perceives in separation is that it must be undone. |
Tx:17.21 | at all confused by any “reasons” for separation. All He perceives in | separation is that it must be undone. Let Him uncover the hidden |
Tx:17.29 | to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to the | separation. For although the ego did not understand what had been |
Tx:17.30 | The whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the | separation from the Holy Spirit was in response to the gift with |
Tx:17.30 | because the Holy Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the | separation. And through Him have all your holy relationships been |
Tx:17.31 | defenses are as insane as what they are supposed to protect. The | separation has nothing in it, no part, no “reason,” and no attribute |
Tx:17.62 | of the situation and deal with them separately, for it has faith in | separation and not in wholeness. |
Tx:18.1 | exclude, and substitution is the strongest defense the ego has for | separation. |
Tx:18.9 | you made for Heaven can keep you from it. In you there is no | separation, and no substitute can keep you from each other. Your |
Tx:18.12 | has been broken and join in making whole what has been ravaged by | separation and disease? |
Tx:18.51 | not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the body does | separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems to be |
Tx:18.51 | the body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked, to hold the | separation in the mind and let it not know its identity. Mind cannot |
Tx:18.53 | Would you not have the instruments of | separation reinterpreted as means for salvation and used for purposes |
Tx:18.76 | whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an idea of | separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it, preventing it |
Tx:19.3 | its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that | separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of |
Tx:19.8 | totally disconnected to each other. Where there is no overlap, there | separation must be complete. And to perceive this is to recognize |
Tx:19.8 | must be complete. And to perceive this is to recognize where | separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is |
Tx:19.8 | The result of an idea is never separate from its source. The idea of | separation produced the body and remains connected to it, making it |
Tx:19.32 | limit mind leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of | separation seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to |
Tx:19.81 | Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of | separation—all are part of your unrecognized dedication to death. |
Tx:19.92 | Here is your promise never to allow union to call you out of | separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems quite |
Tx:20.8 | in a blood-red light, the body is your chosen home, and it is | separation that you offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you |
Tx:20.26 | upon each other and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any | separation between us become impossible. You who were prisoners in |
Tx:20.26 | separation between us become impossible. You who were prisoners in | separation are now made free in Paradise. And here would I unite with |
Tx:20.32 | here is to release him and so to free himself. In the world of | separation, each is appointed separately, though they are all the |
Tx:20.50 | to no relationships and no return. Here is the “mystery” of | separation perceived in awe and held in reverence. What God would |
Tx:21.20 | then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the whole exchange of | separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is |
Tx:21.52 | You do not realize the whole extent to which the idea of | separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the other Self |
Tx:22.21 | This is a crucial period in this course, for here the | separation of you and the ego must be made complete. For if you have |
Tx:22.24 | power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that caused the | separation. It is the meaningless idea that thoughts can leave the |
Tx:22.64 | the union of the Creator and His Son. From loving minds there is no | separation. And every thought in one brings gladness to the other |
Tx:24.30 | God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no | separation, like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you |
Tx:24.35 | It was conceived to make you frail and helpless. The goal of | separation is its curse. Yet bodies have no goal. Purpose is of the |
Tx:25.54 | of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to | separation, and to differences. For here is everything perceived as |
Tx:26.2 | if they joined, each one would lose its own identity, and by their | separation are their selves maintained. |
Tx:26.24 | Is not this like your special function, where the | separation is undone by change of purpose in what once was |
Tx:26.47 | For when it once is possible, it must occur. All sickness comes from | separation. When the separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as |
Tx:26.47 | it must occur. All sickness comes from separation. When the | separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the idea |
Tx:27.16 | shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that | separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you will |
Tx:27.22 | you must be confused about yourself and who you are. What is the | separation but a wish to take God's function from Him and deny that |
Tx:27.67 | evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was first beheld. In | separation from your brother was the first attack upon yourself |
Tx:28.23 | The | separation started with the dream the Father was deprived of His |
Tx:28.27 | will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to | separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone, |
Tx:28.28 | to allow your first uncertain steps to be directed up the ladder | separation led you down. The miracle alone is your concern at |
Tx:28.32 | The cause of pain is | separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is |
Tx:28.32 | of pain is separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet | separation is but empty space, enclosing nothing, doing nothing, and |
Tx:28.46 | gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there is joy in | separation, and its giving up would be a sacrifice. But miracles are |
Tx:28.56 | and want, the body does not know. You send it forth to seek for | separation and to be a separate thing. And then you hate it, not for |
Tx:28.61 | its oneness being where the healing lies. What could correct for | separation but its opposite? There is no middle ground in any aspect |
Tx:28.63 | is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of | separation and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for what it did not do. |
Tx:29.3 | made with him. You shared a qualified entente in which a clause of | separation was a point on which you both agreed to keep intact. And |
Tx:29.4 | you agree to meet from time to time and keep apart in intervals of | separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of love. The body |
Tx:29.5 | could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause of | separation and of distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it |
Tx:29.37 | dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and | separation, even though it was for this that every dream was made. |
Tx:29.38 | form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of | separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin, and death; |
Tx:30.56 | Here does the dream of | separation start to fade and disappear. For here the gap that is not |
Tx:31.63 | is undoing. If you choose to see the body, you behold a world of | separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no sense at |
Tx:31.76 | sword, you must perceive the body as yourself, for you are bound to | separation from the sight of him who holds the mirror to another view |
W1:41.1 | ones experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of | separation. So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, |
W1:54.4 | private thoughts, I cannot see a private world. Even the mad idea of | separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of the |
W1:54.4 | thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As my thoughts of | separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real |
W1:54.4 | everything with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the | separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real |
W1:56.6 | God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of | separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I |
W1:78.10 | his freedom yours. The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no | separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him will free you |
W1:79.1 | has been solved. This is the situation of the world. The problem of | separation, which is really the only problem, has already been |
W1:79.4 | to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of | separation unsolved. The world seems to present you with a vast |
W1:79.6 | let it be resolved. If you could recognize that your only problem is | separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer |
W1:99.5 | look on what you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and | separation, and on loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be |
W1:110.4 | future. If you are as God created you, then there has been no | separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and |
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. |
W1:125.8 | Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no | separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of Son. In |
W1:130.4 | Fear has made everything you think you see. All | separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you |
W1:137.2 | the others do not feel. It gives the body final power to make the | separation real and keep the mind in solitary prison, split apart and |
W1:137.4 | must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true. The | separation sickness would impose has never really happened. To be |
W1:137.13 | to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and | separation for the peace of God. Is not a minute of the hour worth |
W1:140.1 | make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no | separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms |
W1:140.14 | joy. This is the day when healing comes to us. This is the day when | separation ends and we remember Who we really are. |
W1:158.7 | and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no | separation. And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all |
W1:184.2 | all things and you. Thus do you think that you have given life in | separation. By this split you think you are established as a unity |
W1:184.12 | all space is filled with truth's reflection. Every gap is closed and | separation healed. The Name of God is the inheritance He gave to |
W2:WIW.1 | the thought which gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of | separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the world |
W2:WIC.2 | Christ is the link that keeps you one with God and guarantees that | separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope forever |

M:12.4 | as one. The teachers of God appear to share the illusion of | separation, but because of what they use the body for, they do not |
M:16.10 | but merely that it is meaningless. Rooted in sacrifice and | separation, two aspects of one error and no more, he merely chooses |
M:17.5 | apparent. A magic thought, by its mere presence, acknowledges a | separation from God. It states in the clearest form possible that the |

M:19.1 | fairly judged, there would be no need for salvation. The thought of | separation would have been forever inconceivable. |
M:21.1 | they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of | separation. Words can be helpful, particularly for the beginner, in |

W1:194.4 | still seems real. And so you are not asked to understand the lack of | sequence really found in time. You are but asked to let the future go |

Tx:28.28 | is where we must begin. And having started, will the way be made | serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the |
W1:155.1 | appearance, though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is | serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as you |
W1:186.10 | These unsubstantial images will go and leave your mind unclouded and | serene when you accept the function given you. The images you make |

Tx:22.51 | will believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other | serve his choice as means to find it. |
Tx:22.52 | freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to | serve illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so |
Tx:22.53 | forever. But be you rather grateful that you can be the means to | serve His end. This is the only service which leads to freedom. To |
Tx:22.53 | serve His end. This is the only service which leads to freedom. To | serve this end, the body must be perceived as sinless because the |

Tx:25.48 | for himself. His wish was not denied but changed in form to let it | serve his brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead |

Tx:27.61 | And no one will elect to suffer more. What better function could you | serve than this? Be healed that you may heal, and suffer not the laws |
Tx:28.2 | your creation. And like all the things you made, it can be used to | serve another purpose and to be the means for something else. It can |

Tx:29.9 | induce you to abandon Him? What toys or trinkets in the gap could | serve to hold you back an instant from His love? Would you allow the |
Tx:29.12 | been futile to demand escape from sin and pain of what was made to | serve the function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and sin are |
Tx:29.30 | as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to | serve the function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the |
Tx:29.36 | Each form it takes in some way calls for death. And those who | serve the lord of death have come to worship in a separated world, |

Tx:4.99 | created beings who have everything individually but who want to | share it to increase their joy. Nothing that is real can be increased |
Tx:4.101 | God has kept your kingdom for you, but He cannot | share His joy with you until you know it with your whole mind. Even |

Tx:5.6 | you share a physical possession, you do divide its ownership. If you | share an idea, however, you do not lessen it. All of it is still |
Tx:5.21 | again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide because He can | share only perfect knowledge. Guidance is evaluative, because it |
Tx:5.22 | Him, He gave you a Voice to speak for Him because He could no longer | share His knowledge with you without hindrance. Direct communication |
Tx:5.27 | decision for yourself. The will for this decision is the will to | share it, because the decision itself is the decision to share. It is |
Tx:5.27 | the will to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to | share. It is made by giving and is therefore the one act of mind that |
Tx:5.29 | you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger. As we | share this goal we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship |
Tx:5.34 | in your brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and what you | share you strengthen. |
Tx:5.35 | The Voice of the Holy Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must | share it. It must be increased in strength before you can hear it. It |
Tx:5.49 | really free. You have carried the burden of the ideas you did not | share and which were therefore too weak to increase, but you did not |
Tx:5.52 | not atone for myself alone. Listening to one voice means the will to | share the voice in order to hear it yourself. The mind that was in me |
Tx:5.53 | because it means the sharing of ideas and the awareness that to | share them is to strengthen them. The union of the Sonship is its |
Tx:5.56 | and include opposite thoughts at the same level. It is impossible to | share opposing thoughts. The Holy Spirit does not let you forsake |
Tx:5.56 | does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you can really | share only the parts of your thoughts which are of Him and which He |
Tx:5.56 | been sufficiently purified, He lets you give them away. The will to | share them is their purification. |
Tx:5.58 | myself. You go with my blessing and for my blessing. Hold it and | share it, that it may always be ours. I place the peace of God in |
Tx:5.58 | place the peace of God in your heart and in your hands, to hold and | share. The heart is pure to hold it and the hands are strong to give |

Tx:5.79 | When I said, “I am come as a light into the world,” I surely came to | share the light with you. Remember the symbolic reference we made |
Tx:6.5 | I have already told you that you can always call on me to | share my decision and thus make it stronger. I also told you that the |
Tx:6.8 | that way, that I was persecuted as the world judges and did not | share this evaluation for myself. And because I did not share it, I |
Tx:6.8 | and did not share this evaluation for myself. And because I did not | share it, I did not strengthen it. I therefore offered a different |
Tx:6.8 | a different interpretation of attack and one which I do want to | share with you. If you will believe it, you will help me to teach it. |
Tx:6.11 | all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my brothers do not | share my decision to hear only one voice, because it weakens them as |
Tx:6.14 | not asked to repeat my experiences, because the Holy Spirit, Whom we | share, makes this unnecessary. To use my experiences constructively, |
Tx:6.16 | to any other, you will have learned of me and will be as eager to | share your learning as I am. The crucifixion cannot be shared, |
Tx:6.44 | you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea which you | share, you must have. It awakens in you through the conviction of |
Tx:6.61 | lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. If we | share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did. Death is |
Tx:6.71 | What you must understand is that when you do not | share a thought system, you are weakening it. Those who believe in it |
Tx:6.82 | must be. Yet His evaluation does not extend beyond you, or you would | share it. In your mind, and your mind only, He sorts out the true |
Tx:7.1 | God, as He does with you. This is an ongoing process in which you | share, and because you share it, you are inspired to create like God. |
Tx:7.1 | you. This is an ongoing process in which you share, and because you | share it, you are inspired to create like God. Yet in creation you |
Tx:7.6 | To think like God is to | share His certainty of what you are and to create like Him is to |
Tx:7.6 | to share His certainty of what you are and to create like Him is to | share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit |
Tx:7.8 | hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His Will to | share it. How can what is fully shared be withheld and then revealed? |
Tx:7.9 | resembles the Thought of God, and because of the elements which they | share, can transfer to it. When a brother perceives himself as sick, |
Tx:7.18 | This meaning comes from God and is God. Because it is also you, you | share it and extend it as your Creator did. This needs no |
Tx:7.30 | This holds them in perfect serenity, because this is what they | share, knowing what they are. |
Tx:7.42 | Healing perceives nothing in the healer that everyone else does not | share with him. Magic always sees something “special” in the healer |

Tx:7.51 | I do not want to share my body in communion, because that is to | share nothing. [Would I try to share an illusion with the most holy |
Tx:7.51 | body in communion, because that is to share nothing. [Would I try to | share an illusion with the most holy children of a most holy Father?] |
Tx:7.51 | with the most holy children of a most holy Father?] Yet I do want to | share my mind with you, because we are of One Mind and that Mind is |
Tx:7.52 | Come therefore unto me and learn of the truth in you. The mind we | share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly, they |
Tx:7.63 | While you believe that two totally contradictory thought systems | share truth, your need for vigilance is apparent. Your minds are |
Tx:7.77 | therefore of your abundance and teach your brothers theirs. Do not | share their delusions of scarcity, or you will perceive yourself as |
Tx:7.93 | The Soul yearns to | share its being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is |
Tx:7.100 | has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. | Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, |
Tx:7.100 | willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. Share His Will, and you | share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you are denying His |
Tx:8.4 | giving up by attacking them. How can you have what you give up? You | share to have, but you do not give it up yourself. When you give up |
Tx:8.17 | it with His power and glory and establishing them as yours. You | share them as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of |
Tx:8.33 | whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will | share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally whatever is |
Tx:8.39 | Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I can | share [my perfect confidence in His promise, because I know He gave |
Tx:8.41 | transcend the ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you want to | share it you will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you |
Tx:8.50 | as valuable. Given this belief, you cannot understand anything. I | share with God the knowledge of the value He puts upon you. My |
Tx:8.87 | Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of love, because we | share this oneness. Our minds are whole because they are one. If you |
Tx:8.118 | deny you nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can | share everything. This is the way, and the only way, to have His |
Tx:9.11 | the ability to attack, which you did make, into the ability to | share, He translates what you have made into what God created. If you |
Tx:9.25 | unhealed healer does not know how to give and consequently cannot | share. He cannot correct because he is not working correctively. He |
Tx:9.82 | only the eternal. If God has but one Son, there is but one God. You | share reality with Him, because reality is not divided. To accept |
Tx:9.91 | sick brother by weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not | share. The power of one mind can shine into another, because all the |
Tx:9.97 | creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can | share only what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not |
Tx:9.102 | not insane. When you denied Him, you were insane. Would you have Him | share your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His |
Tx:10.5 | on which God will help you build again the thought system which you | share with Him. Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed |
Tx:10.10 | only this can bring you the joy which is His and which He wills to | share with you. Your love is as boundless as His because it is His. |
Tx:10.15 | He holds, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who | share His Life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. |
Tx:10.15 | nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His Life must | share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who |
Tx:10.33 | The peace of your Soul lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you | share, and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every altar to God |
Tx:10.38 | of God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills to | share as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in |
Tx:10.38 | in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the Son must | share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father |
Tx:10.44 | is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of God, which you | share. Can this be a real conflict? |
Tx:10.45 | on God, Whose function He shares with you. By His Willingness to | share it, He became as dependent on you as you are on Him. Do not |
Tx:10.66 | and the awareness of Christ comes with the awakening of others to | share your redemption. |
Tx:10.81 | take nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you | share it with God. This is its reality. Would the Holy Spirit, Who |
Tx:10.83 | I know that it is in you. God's Sons have nothing which they do not | share. Ask for truth of any Son of God, and you have asked it of me. |
Tx:10.86 | is yours, and you will not accept your healing without his. For you | share the real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. |
Tx:10.86 | accept your healing without his. For you share the real world as you | share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself is to heal |
Tx:11.24 | how perfectly your lesson would be learned if you were unwilling to | share their poverty. For poverty is lack, and there is but one lack |
Tx:11.54 | loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to | share it. Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your |
Tx:11.57 | who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to | share His vision with you. He will show you the real world because |
Tx:11.58 | sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He would | share with you because He knows of the Father's love for Him. And |
Tx:11.59 | perception and knowledge have become so similar that they | share the unification of the laws of God. |
Tx:11.64 | becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you | share in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so |
Tx:11.73 | the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You | share His function only by judging as He does, reserving no judgment |
Tx:11.83 | unreal world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who | share God's Being with Him could never be content without reality. |
Tx:12.31 | the means of salvation which you must learn to accept if you would | share His goal of salvation for you. |
Tx:12.40 | to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you | share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we will draw |
Tx:12.49 | them, you are releasing him. And since his past is yours, you | share in this release. Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him |
Tx:12.64 | Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you | share it with Him. |
Tx:13.4 | and God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not | share. His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why |
Tx:13.10 | is unwitnessed. God knows it, but you do not, and so you do not | share His witness to it. Nor do you witness unto Him, for reality is |
Tx:13.22 | union with a brother in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or | share it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will |
Tx:13.42 | peace in which the sweet and constant communication which God would | share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be |
Tx:13.81 | And so He gives you what is yours because your Father would have you | share it with Him. In everything be led by Him and do not reconsider. |
Tx:14.5 | have all of it transformed into a radiant message of God's Love, to | share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you? God makes |
Tx:14.6 | part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each to | share is always the same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches |
Tx:14.6 | Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you | share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing |
Tx:14.7 | God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does not | share His shining innocence. Creation is the natural extension of |
Tx:14.17 | from love's beneficence. What is kept apart from love cannot | share its healing power, because it has been separated off and kept |
Tx:14.30 | to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you learn to | share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to |
Tx:14.32 | faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was given Him to | share with you. |
Tx:14.43 | knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and | share it with you. |
Tx:14.51 | That is the reason why the miracle gives equal blessing to all who | share in it, and that is also why everyone shares in it. The power of |
Tx:14.63 | of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you | share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have |
Tx:15.14 | as it takes to remember immortality and your immortal creations who | share it with you. As long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven. |
Tx:15.41 | is. You believe that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not | share and that salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself |
Tx:15.41 | you think you find a way to keep what you would have alone and | share what you would share. And then you wonder why it is that you |
Tx:15.41 | a way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would | share. And then you wonder why it is that you are not in full |
Tx:15.42 | it to you is not enough to make it yours, for you are not ready to | share it with Him. And it cannot come into a mind that has decided to |
Tx:15.57 | you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy instant, we | share our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is |
Tx:15.62 | you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God | share equally, and by this recognition you will join with me in |
Tx:15.80 | conceive of need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son | share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The will |
Tx:15.80 | are not alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to | share your will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to God and |
Tx:15.83 | does not understand your problem in communication, for He does not | share it with you. It is only you who believe that it is |
Tx:15.87 | body and to accept the fact that the ego has no purpose you would | share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a body for its |
Tx:16.3 | is from the past. And there is nothing from the past that you would | share, for there is nothing there that you would keep. Do not use |
Tx:16.6 | to Him, for it is His perception and His strength that you would | share. And let Him offer you His strength and His perception to be |
Tx:16.8 | function and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would | share everything you give through Him. And that is why He gives it. |
Tx:16.13 | another mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and | share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the |
Tx:16.18 | determine not to deny what has been given you by God[. Awake and | share it], for that is the only reason He has called to you. His |
Tx:16.33 | aspect of living and use them for any purpose which they would not | share with others, are trying to live with guilt rather than die of |
Tx:16.69 | and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness to | share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your |
Tx:16.69 | for your unwillingness by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you | share with Him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness |
Tx:17.27 | with you to make you happy, and nothing you do which does not | share His purpose can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything |
Tx:17.55 | which makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were outside you, you could not | share in its gladness. Yet because it is within, the gladness, too, |
Tx:17.56 | will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will | share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to |
Tx:17.72 | to your own relationship. Your faith will call the others to | share your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in |
Tx:18.9 | at your request, He has set the course inward to the truth you | share. In the mad world outside you, nothing can be shared but only |
Tx:18.10 | and accept His gift as our most holy and perfect reality, which we | share in Him. |
Tx:18.21 | holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you will | share with all who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing |
Tx:18.48 | I desire this holy instant for myself that I may | share it with my brother, whom I love. It is not possible that I can |
Tx:18.48 | without him, or he without me. Yet it is wholly possible for us to | share it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the |
Tx:19.2 | Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit | share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He heals |
Tx:19.10 | you have accepted the Atonement for yourself and would therefore | share it. By faith you offer the gift of freedom from the past, which |
Tx:19.12 | faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you | share it with Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God |
Tx:19.28 | Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you | share His vision. Yet you do not share His recognition of the |
Tx:19.28 | God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you do not | share His recognition of the difference between time and eternity. |
Tx:19.43 | from each other nor apart from the one you asked the Holy Spirit to | share with you. The little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the |
Tx:19.53 | And they will return with all the happy things they found, to | share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They offer you |
Tx:19.71 | whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will | share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be |
Tx:19.100 | madness with pity and compassion but not with fear. For only if they | share in it does it seem fearful, and you do share in it until you |
Tx:19.100 | fear. For only if they share in it does it seem fearful, and you do | share in it until you look upon each other with perfect faith and |
Tx:19.101 | is your salvation. You see his madness, which you hate because you | share it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives |
Tx:19.101 | to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will | share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes |
Tx:19.103 | to hide His loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness out to you to | share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still offers you |
Tx:19.104 | and thus receive it. Whom you forgive is free, and what you give you | share. Forgive the sins your brother thinks he has committed and all |
Tx:19.106 | the time of resurrection. Let us give redemption to each other and | share in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not separate |
Tx:20.9 | sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's purpose as their own | share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine |
Tx:20.10 | while you see them not. Nor can you use what I have given unless you | share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to |
Tx:20.12 | illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we | share in quietness, and where we live in gentleness and peace as one |
Tx:20.27 | Share, then, this faith with me and know that it is justified. There | |
Tx:20.30 | in the freedom that you see in him, you see your own. For this you | share. What God has given follows His laws and His alone. Nor is it |
Tx:20.31 | power is of God, and they will give it only to what God has given to | share with them. Nothing but this can touch them, for they see only |
Tx:20.31 | with little wings have not accepted for themselves the power to | share with you. |
Tx:20.32 | See, then, the power of sinlessness within your brother and | share with him the power of the release from sin you offered him. To |
Tx:20.44 | in safety and in peace. Let us consider now what he must learn, to | share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the Creator of |
Tx:20.46 | simple and so obvious it cannot be misunderstood. But idols do not | share. |
Tx:21.46 | ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did not choose to | share in it. At times it still deceives you. Yet in your saner |
Tx:22.28 | All you need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is | share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision given to anyone |
Tx:22.30 | continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. | Share this belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and |
Tx:22.42 | it received. Into your joined hands is it safely given, for you who | share it have become its willing guardians and protectors. |
Tx:22.43 | To all who | share the love of God, the grace is given to be the givers of what |
Tx:22.44 | wall. And only an illusion stands between you and the holy Self you | share. |
Tx:23.3 | head held high, and fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they | share their innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their |
Tx:23.3 | released from sin and fear, and happily returned to love. They | share the strength of love because they looked on innocence. And |
Tx:23.9 | your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of yourself you | share with it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the same, and |
Tx:23.18 | seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to | share itself. Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one abides the |
Tx:23.27 | enemies do not give willingly to one another, nor would they seek to | share the things they value. And what your enemies would keep from |
Tx:23.49 | God does not | share His function with a body. He gave the function to create unto |
Tx:23.53 | you must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and those who | share a purpose have a mind as one. The body has no purpose and must |
Tx:23.54 | Think what is given those who | share their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They |
Tx:24.8 | specialness; his friend in a shared purpose. Specialness can never | share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he must |

W2:269.2 | Today our sight is blessed indeed. We | share one vision as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. |
W2:WIC.1 | Christ is God's Son as He created Him. He is the Self we | share, uniting us with one another and with God as well. He is the |
W2:291.1 | us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we | share; it is the holiness of God Himself. |
W2:312.1 | And he cannot fail to look upon what Christ would have him see and | share Christ's love for what he looks upon. |

W1:107.7 | Truth does not come and go nor | shift nor change, in this appearance now and then in that, evading |
W1:128.7 | you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world will | shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape its |
W1:140.8 | of sickness, for we seek a cure for all illusions, not another | shift among them. We will try today to find the source of healing, |
W1:181.2 | and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will | shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you |

Tx:5.53 | without protest. It means that you cannot be hurt and do not want to | show your brother anything except your wholeness. Show him that he |
Tx:5.53 | and do not want to show your brother anything except your wholeness. | Show him that he cannot hurt you and hold nothing against him, or you |
Tx:5.68 | feelings are always a sign that you do not know this. They also | show that you believe you can think apart from God and want to. Every |
Tx:6.15 | the judgment of the Holy Spirit can be justified. I undertook to | show this was true in a very extreme case merely because it would |
Tx:9.55 | obviousness to you lies in the joy you bring to its witnesses, who | show it to you. They attest to your grandeur, but they cannot attest |
Tx:11.57 | God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He will | show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your |
Tx:12.10 | may also think that it would be easy enough for the Holy Spirit to | show it to you and dispel it, without the need for you to raise it to |
Tx:13.26 | Holy Spirit does not keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and | show them to you fearfully to demonstrate what He has saved you from. |
Tx:13.29 | All else He would have you see. And in Christ's vision, He would | show you the perfect purity that is forever within God's Son. |
Tx:13.38 | in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely | show you what is capable of being wholly shared. It can also show you |
Tx:13.38 | merely show you what is capable of being wholly shared. It can also | show you the results of sharing while you still remember the results |
Tx:14.31 | that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will | show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from double |
Tx:14.50 | lesson the Holy Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to | show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a better way is |
Tx:14.56 | you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit | show him to you and teach you both his love and need for love. |
Tx:14.58 | not what it is nor where. You have made a semblance of power and a | show of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For power is not a |

Tx:16.23 | Does not the fact that you have not learned what you have taught | show you that you do not perceive the Sonship as one? And does it not |
Tx:16.23 | that you do not perceive the Sonship as one? And does it not also | show you that you do not regard yourself as one? For it is impossible |

Tx:17.21 | Let Him uncover the hidden spark of beauty in your relationships and | show it to you. Its loveliness will so attract you that you will be |
Tx:18.5 | as you begin to look at them. But nothing you have seen begins to | show you the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast you |
Tx:18.9 | have it be. Give Him but a little faith in each other, to help Him | show you that no substitute you made for Heaven can keep you from it. |
Tx:18.18 | Dreams | show you that you have the power to make a world as you would have it |
Tx:19.36 | Look upon your Redeemer and behold what He would | show you in each other, and let not sin arise again to blind your |
Tx:19.39 | but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them will | show you all that you need to see. When the peace in you has been |
Tx:19.57 | for anyone, and death does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to | show it is not real. The body does appear to be the symbol of sin |
Tx:20.46 | Nothing can | show the contrast better than the experience of both a holy and an |
Tx:20.67 | will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to | show you what is given you who see your brother sinless. Truth is |
Tx:20.76 | your nightmares into happy dreams; your wild hallucinations that | show you all the fearful outcomes of imagined sin into the calm and |
Tx:21.11 | all as surely as all is joined in you. Accept the vision which can | show you this and not the body. You know the ancient song and know it |
Tx:21.22 | seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And what would | show you otherwise must therefore seem unreal. All that is asked of |
Tx:21.49 | Perception is a witness but to this and never to reality. Yet it can | show you the conditions in which awareness of reality is possible or |
Tx:22.6 | which look upon the world. If this is not your vision, what can it | show to you? The brain cannot interpret what your vision sees. This |
Tx:22.9 | everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would | show you, you will understand because it is the truth. Only your |
Tx:22.14 | you thought was you is an illusion. And truth came instantly to | show you where your Self must be. It is denial of illusions that |
Tx:22.36 | yours. Let not the vision of his holiness, the sight of which would | show you your forgiveness, be kept from you by what the body's eyes |
Tx:23.1 | The sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The | show of strength attack would use to cover frailty conceals it not, |
Tx:24.16 | “enemy,” for it sees not what they would look upon, and it would | show them that the specialness they think they see is an illusion. |
Tx:24.65 | it for? For in that choice lie both its health and harm. Save it for | show, as bait to catch another fish, to house your specialness in |
Tx:25.57 | not attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and | show him he is mad. This One but points to an alternative, another |
Tx:25.59 | does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who speaks for Him can | show you this in the alternative He chose especially for you. It is |
Tx:25.59 | the function that has been assigned to you in God's Own plan to | show His Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the same. And |
Tx:26.51 | clearly makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can | show is preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the |
Tx:27.3 | and prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you offer him you | show yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit offers you |
Tx:27.6 | Show this unto your brother, who will see that every scar is healed | |
Tx:27.7 | yet to both the message is the same. Adornment of the body seeks to | show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about the body |
Tx:27.17 | nothing less to him than it has given unto you. So does your healing | show your mind is healed and has forgiven what he did not do. And so |
Tx:27.18 | Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to | show your brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood |
Tx:27.18 | is on his hands, and so he stands condemned. Yet it is given you to | show him by your healing that his guilt is but the fabric of a |
Tx:27.20 | As long as he consents to suffer, you will be unhealed. Yet you can | show him that his suffering is purposeless and wholly without cause. |
Tx:27.20 | show him that his suffering is purposeless and wholly without cause. | Show him your healing, and he will consent no more to suffer. For his |
Tx:27.49 | be healed that it might live. It will call forth its witnesses to | show the face of Christ to you who brought the sight to them by which |
Tx:27.79 | its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms and seems to | show a great variety of places and events wherein its “hero” finds |
Tx:28.22 | And it is but this the dream has put together and has offered him to | show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he fear his own |
Tx:28.22 | he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does nothing but to | show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is cause without the |
Tx:28.26 | there is no cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they | show the mind made sickness and employed the body to be victim or |
Tx:30.13 | This cancels out the terms which you have set and lets the answer | show you what the question must have really been. |
Tx:30.83 | meaning in what went before. What have you really done except to | show there was no meaning there? But you assigned a meaning in the |
Tx:30.84 | is a judgment never justified. Its presence has no meaning but to | show you wrote a fearful script and are afraid accordingly. But not |
Tx:30.92 | Reality is changeless. Miracles but | show what you have interposed between reality and your awareness is |
Tx:31.48 | they cannot be perceived as errors, which the light would surely | show. You can be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you change |
Tx:31.58 | make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one will | show the changes in your own relationships as your perception of |
W1:I.5 | to use them. It is their use which will give them meaning to you and | show you they are true. Remember only this—you need not believe |
W1:28.5 | it and look upon it with a completely open mind. It has something to | show you—something beautiful and clean and of infinite value, full |
W1:35.1 | you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will | show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world |
W1:43.9 | the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The world can | show me myself. I see my own thoughts, which are like God's. |
W1:45.1 | that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will | show you. |
W1:54.4 | awaken the real thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts | show me will dawn on their sight as well as mine. |
W1:54.6 | I am determined to see. I would look upon the witnesses that | show me the thinking of the world has been changed. I would behold |
W1:55.2 | to see the witnesses to the truth in me, rather than those that | show me an illusion of myself. |
W1:59.5 | in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will | show me. |
W1:75.9 | the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will | show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined |
W1:85.2 | [69] My grievances hide the light of the world in me. My grievances | show me what is not there and hide from me what I would see. |
W1:88.4 | This cannot | show me darkness, for the light has come. The light in you is all |
W1:91.3 | doubt that the body's eyes can see. You do not doubt the images they | show you are reality. Your faith lies in the darkness, not the light. |
W1:92.10 | seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to | show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light |
W1:99.20 | gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful place in you and | show you that you are the Son of God. |
W1:100.5 | instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to | show the world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you |
W1:121.8 | learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to | show the way to you. Today we practice learning to forgive. If you |
W1:130.12 | your range of choice to take the place of everything that hell would | show to you. All you need say to any part of hell, whatever form it |
W1:139.7 | question that to ask what it must be is all the proof you need to | show that you believe the contradiction that you know not what you |
W1:R4.5 | thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to | show you something else and hold correction off through |
W1:151.2 | Why but because of underlying doubt which you would hide with | show of certainty? |
W1:154.7 | their part by their acceptance of His messages as for themselves and | show they understand the messages by giving them away. They choose no |
W1:159.3 | can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the world presents can | show but twisted images in broken parts. The real world pictures |
W1:160.6 | impossible. His way is lost except a miracle will search him out and | show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle will come. For in |
W1:161.2 | it invent the partial world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to | show you what you wish to see. All hearing but brings to your mind |
W1:163.8 | which they believed, they would be instantly released. And you will | show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now in |
W1:166.7 | all reason, every evidence, and all the witnesses with proof to | show this is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed |
W1:189.9 | knows His Son and knows the way to him. He does not need His Son to | show Him how to find His way. Through every opened door His love |
W2:WF.5 | Do nothing, then, and let forgiveness | show you what to do through Him Who is your Guide, your Savior and |
W2:269.1 | today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to | show me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is given me to find a |
W2:303.1 | and let Him hear the sounds He understands and see but sights which | show His Father's Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He |
W2:WIM.4 | see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to | show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle |
W2:WIM.4 | really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it and | show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before—a |
W2:WIM.5 | the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up to | show that what is born can never die, for what has life has |
W2:FL.4 | who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and life that | show the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our |
M:14.4 | hard or easy. His Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will | show him how to learn it. |
M:22.6 | about himself is not the truth. It is your forgiveness that must | show him this. Healing is very simple. Atonement is received and |
M:27.3 | held to obscure the sun. The grimness of the symbol is enough to | show it cannot co-exist with God. It holds an image of the Son of God |
showed (3) | ||
Tx:5.27 | will to learn. I am your model for decision. By deciding for God, I | showed you that this decision can be made and that you can make it. |
Tx:6.54 | to be in one. You would be in an impossible situation if God | showed you your perfection and proved to you that you were wrong. |
W1:78.11 | images aside and looked upon the miracle of love the Holy Spirit | showed you in their place. The world and Heaven join in thanking you, |
showing (14) | ||
Tx:2.35 | to be consistent about this as yet. I have therefore concentrated on | showing you that the means are available whenever you ask. You can, |
Tx:13.53 | The Holy Spirit, therefore, must begin His teaching by | showing you what you can never learn. His message is not indirect, |
Tx:14.60 | from everything that you have taught yourselves in the past by | showing you only what you are now. Learning has been accomplished |
Tx:19.83 | the first and fundamental principle in a course on miracles than by | showing you the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished |
Tx:24.42 | hand that holds His brother's, and how lovingly He walks beside him, | showing him what can be seen and heard and where he will see nothing |
Tx:26.6 | what you would sacrifice nor keep the Holy Spirit from His task of | showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the song your |
Tx:30.64 | but for you to join Him. Now that you have come, would He delay in | showing you the way that He must walk with you? His blessing lies on |
Tx:30.90 | reality entails. The miracle attests salvation from appearances by | showing they can change. Your brother has a changelessness in him |
W1:53.2 | [11] My meaningless thoughts are | showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of which I am |
W1:166.13 | of Christ there is another way for them to walk. Teach them by | showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of |
W1:215.1 | only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I give thanks to Him for | showing me the way to go. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still |
W2:293.1 | and safe and welcoming with all my past mistakes oppressing it and | showing me distorted forms of pain? Yet in the present, love is |
W2:302.2 | Our Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside us, | showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He |
M:10.1 | another. Further, even the same person classifies the same action as | showing “good” judgment at one time and “bad” judgment at another |
shown (25) | ||
Tx:4.20 | A father can safely leave a child with an elder brother who has | shown himself responsible, but this involves no confusion about the |
Tx:4.38 | false or true, to be accepted or rejected accordingly. If it is | shown to be true, it becomes a fact, after which no one attempts to |
Tx:5.81 | with yourselves. Is not a Child of God worth patience? I have | shown you infinite patience because my will is that of our Father, |
Tx:11.2 | your own ability to understand what you perceive. This is | shown by the fact that you react to your interpretations as if they |
Tx:21.4 | It must be seen before you recognize it for what it is. You can be | shown which doors are open, and you can see where safety lies and |
Tx:25.40 | is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the way is | shown to him through you that you may find it, walking by his side. |
Tx:27.2 | In your release from sacrifice is his made manifest and | shown to be his own. But every pain you suffer do you see as proof |
Tx:27.5 | brother you have looked upon in grief. And everything that it has | shown to him have you believed because it witnessed to the guilt in |
Tx:27.60 | The laws which call them different are dissolved and | shown as powerless. The purpose of a miracle is to accomplish this. |
Tx:27.62 | you. Here is the world's demented version of salvation clearly | shown. Like to a dream of punishment in which the dreamer is |
Tx:27.63 | Now you are being | shown you can escape. All that is needed is you look upon the problem |
Tx:28.19 | death? A dream is like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted | shown to you. An empty storehouse with an open door holds all your |
Tx:28.36 | This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the world has | shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is left for |
Tx:30.25 | is a statement of an open mind, not certain yet, but willing to be | shown: |
Tx:30.90 | anything in Heaven or on earth could ever alter. But appearances are | shown to be unreal because they change. |
Tx:31.56 | statement that it thinks. And what can think has choice and can be | shown that different thoughts have different consequence. So it can |
W1:29.3 | Its holy purpose stands beyond your little range. When vision has | shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand |
W1:75.7 | You do not know yet what it looks like. You merely wait to have it | shown to you. While you wait, repeat several times slowly and in |
W1:78.6 | your mind already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be | shown to us. Through seeing him behind the grievances that we have |
W1:78.10 | closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let your mind be | shown the light in him beyond your grievances. What you have asked |
W1:130.3 | in blind imaginings of panic born? What would you want that this is | shown to you? What would you wish to keep in such a dream? |
W1:137.4 | as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to illusions must be | shown that what they look upon is false. So healing, never needed by |
W1:151.2 | seem to doubt the world you see. You do not really question what is | shown you through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, |
W1:190.3 | And fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has | shown that death is victor over life. The body is the Son of God, |
M:17.2 | that you give but to yourself? And where could this be better | shown than in the kinds of help the teacher gives to those who need |

Tx:2.16 | is the knowledge which not only sets you free, but which also | shows you clearly that you are free. Whatever lies you may believe |
Tx:2.72 | correction is therefore a matter of your will, because its presence | shows that you have raised the unimportant to a higher level than it |
Tx:4.87 | fact that you are preoccupied with the idea of escaping from the ego | shows this. |
Tx:7.49 | him. As you can hear two voices, so you can see in two ways. One way | shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship out of |
Tx:7.49 | you may worship out of fear but which you will never love. The other | shows you only truth, which you will love, because you will |
Tx:13.71 | to you, your perfect freedom from the belief that you can be harmed | shows him he is guiltless. He can do nothing that can hurt you, and |
Tx:14.50 | the very fact that you can do this and bring any order into chaos | shows you that you are not an ego and that more than an ego must be |
Tx:19.66 | your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the end of sin and | shows you that its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when |
Tx:21.2 | from this to recognize which one you chose. [The world you see but | shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to see in you and to |
Tx:21.4 | to light. Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision | shows you where to go. Why should you guess? |
Tx:23.2 | sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love | shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. |
Tx:23.51 | instead of murder. And the perspective coming from this choice | shows you the battle is not real and easily escaped. Bodies may |
Tx:24.45 | all the fear you thought you saw within yourself. His holiness | shows you Himself in him whose hand you hold and whom you lead to |
Tx:24.50 | of Him, and nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's holiness | shows you that God is one with him and you—that what he has is |
Tx:24.54 | hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's body | shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his holiness. |
Tx:25.19 | from the dark and understand your brother as his Father's Mind | shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on |
Tx:25.42 | to save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the love he | shows himself is God made free to let His Will be done. In each of |
Tx:25.77 | and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function | shows you nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for you. And |
Tx:27.13 | and will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged body | shows that you must be protected from him. To forgive may be an act |
Tx:27.16 | offering salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken body | shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that |
Tx:27.52 | from the rest. Yet they are solved together. And their common answer | shows the questions could not have been separate. |
Tx:28.1 | thought of them and loved them for a little while. The miracle but | shows the past is gone, and what has truly gone has no effects. |
Tx:28.19 | The miracle does not awaken you but merely | shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of |
Tx:28.25 | miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you learn and | shows you its effects are what you want. In His forgiving dreams are |
Tx:28.26 | The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made it. But it also | shows that, having no effects, it is not cause because the function |
Tx:28.35 | without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently | shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of |
Tx:31.54 | and what he represents has meaning that was given it by you. It also | shows some glimmering of sight into perception's law that what you |
W1:48.3 | in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear | shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in a place which |
W1:53.6 | that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death | shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane |
W1:54.2 | be neither true nor false. They must be one or the other. What I see | shows me which they are. |
W1:75.4 | will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness | shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single |
W1:87.2 | I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it | shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true perception. |
W1:88.7 | My perception of this | shows me I believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of |
W1:106.2 | appointed Voice, Which silences the thunder of the meaningless and | shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and |

Tx:9.75 | because it is your salvation. What Comforter can there be for the | sick Children of God except His power through you? Remember that it |
Tx:9.76 | it is the awareness that no one is separate, and so no one is | sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that |
Tx:9.76 | separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be | sick is to believe that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, |
Tx:9.77 | and remember your Creator with him? To believe a Son of God is | sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created love, not |
Tx:9.77 | All forms of idolatry are caricatures of creation, taught by | sick minds which are too divided to know that creation shares power |
Tx:9.78 | A | sick god must be an idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks |
Tx:9.78 | And that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a Son of God; a | sick god, self-created, self-sufficient, very vicious, and very |
Tx:9.79 | do not value yourselves. When you do not value yourself, you become | sick, but my value of you can heal you because the value of God's Son |

Tx:10.86 | yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive part of you as | sick and achieve your own goal. Brother, we heal together as we live |
Tx:11.14 | into truth. If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are | sick do not love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the love |

Tx:19.3 | The body cannot heal because it cannot make itself | sick. It needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on |

Tx:28.63 | not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be | sick. All miracles are based upon this choice and given you the |
Tx:28.63 | seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are | sick or well accordingly. |
Tx:28.64 | be alone must mean you are apart, and if you are, you cannot but be | sick. This seems to prove that you must be apart. Yet all it means is |
Tx:29.5 | what its health can tolerate and what will tire it and make it | sick. And its “inherent” weaknesses set up the limitations on what |
Tx:29.6 | when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into fear. It will be | sick because you do not know what loving means. And so you must |
Tx:29.17 | that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it can not be | sick. In your demand that it be more than this lies the idea of |
Tx:29.50 | what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a world made sad and | sick by seeing idols there. Your holy minds are altars unto God, and |

Tx:9.77 | too divided to know that creation shares power and never usurps it. | Sickness is idolatry, because it is the belief that power can be |
Tx:9.80 | he has it. The acceptance of peace is the denial of illusion, and | sickness is an illusion. Yet every Son of God has the power to deny |

Tx:9.93 | The rituals of the god of | sickness are strange and very demanding. Joy is never permitted, for |
Tx:9.95 | Allegiance to the denial of God is the ego's religion. The god of | sickness obviously demands the denial of health, because health is in |
Tx:9.95 | Unless you are sick, you cannot keep the gods you made, for only in | sickness could you possibly want them. Blasphemy, then, is |
Tx:9.96 | Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's Son against His Will. | |
Tx:9.100 | Do not look to the god of | sickness for healing but only to the God of love, for healing is the |
Tx:10.14 | Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole | sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear |

Tx:10.16 | If | sickness is separation, the will to heal and be healed is the first |

Tx:11.16 | Perceive in | sickness but another call for love and offer your brother what he |
Tx:11.16 | your brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the | sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made whole as you make |
Tx:11.16 | remedy. You will be made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in | sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the call for |
Tx:16.67 | of guilt. Only the wholly insane could look on death and suffering, | sickness and despair and see it thus. What guilt has wrought is ugly, |
Tx:17.77 | For what the “something else” produced was sorrow and depression, | sickness and pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, cold |
Tx:19.3 | it cannot make itself sick. It needs no healing. Its health or | sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives it and the |
Tx:19.7 | And it is here that healing is. For God gave healing not apart from | sickness, nor established remedy where sickness cannot be. They are |
Tx:19.7 | gave healing not apart from sickness, nor established remedy where | sickness cannot be. They are together, and when they are seen |
Tx:20.28 | therefore it has none; nor to its results as this world sees them— | sickness and death and misery and pain. These things have not |
Tx:22.18 | Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, | sickness and death to their believers. The form in which they are |
Tx:26.47 | to be possible. For when it once is possible, it must occur. All | sickness comes from separation. When the separation is denied, it |
Tx:26.47 | idea which brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. | Sickness and sin are seen as consequence and cause in a relationship |
Tx:26.49 | that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to the world of | sickness which applies to all its forms. God's answer is eternal, |
Tx:27.4 | price if they can say, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I die.” For | sickness is the witness to his guilt, and death would prove his |

Tx:28.17 | then is healing? Only where its cause is given its effects. For | sickness is a meaningless attempt to give effects to causelessness |
Tx:28.18 | Always in | sickness does the Son of God attempt to make himself his cause and |
Tx:28.26 | Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind made | sickness and employed the body to be victim or effect of what it |
Tx:28.27 | dream. They are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of | sickness to its cause. The body is released because the mind |
Tx:28.29 | If you withhold agreement and accept the part you play in making | sickness real, the other mind cannot project its guilt without your |
Tx:28.29 | points of view. Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the cause of | sickness and perceived effects. Healing is the effect of minds which |

Tx:28.30 | where it is, and you have overlooked the gap between you, where the | sickness has been bred. Thus are you joined in sickness, to preserve |
Tx:28.30 | you, where the sickness has been bred. Thus are you joined in | sickness, to preserve the little gap unhealed, where sickness is kept |
Tx:28.30 | you joined in sickness, to preserve the little gap unhealed, where | sickness is kept carefully protected, cherished, and upheld by firm |
Tx:28.31 | to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause to | sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is all the |
Tx:28.31 | which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is all the cause that | sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a body which |
Tx:28.32 | to keep them separate for a little while? Where are the grounds for | sickness when the minds have joined to close the little gap between |
Tx:28.32 | have joined to close the little gap between them where the seeds of | sickness seemed to grow? |
Tx:28.33 | only in the space left clean and vacant by the miracle. The seeds of | sickness and the shame of [sin] He cannot bridge, for He cannot |
Tx:28.35 | the gap was seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And | sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in |
Tx:28.37 | for yourself means not to give support to someone's dream of | sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish to |
Tx:28.44 | will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of | sickness and of sin. And here the Father will receive His Son, |
Tx:28.46 | he has lost nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of | sickness when he has received the simple happiness of health? What |
Tx:28.46 | effects. What then would you perceive within the gap? The seeds of | sickness come from the belief that there is joy in separation, and |
Tx:28.46 | requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of | sickness were. And there will be no loss, but only gain. |
Tx:28.47 | What is a sense of | sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating |
Tx:28.47 | seen as health? The good is seen outside; the evil, in. And thus is | sickness separating off the self from good and keeping evil in. God |

Tx:28.58 | Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that it will suffer | |
Tx:28.63 | upon this choice and given you the instant it is made. No forms of | sickness are immune because the choice cannot be made in terms of |
Tx:28.63 | because the choice cannot be made in terms of form. The choice of | sickness seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And |

Tx:29.17 | Sickness is a demand the body be a thing that it is not. Its | |
Tx:29.17 | be sick. In your demand that it be more than this lies the idea of | sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He really is. What, |
Tx:29.19 | unto you, and only this. His body's nothingness releases yours from | sickness and from death. For what is yours cannot be more nor less |
Tx:30.75 | idolatry is what you wish than a belief there are some forms of | sickness and of joylessness forgiveness cannot heal. This means that |
Tx:30.76 | It must be true the miracle can heal all forms of | sickness, or it cannot heal. Its purpose cannot be to judge which |

W1:137.2 | Sickness is isolation. For it seems to keep one self apart from all | |
W1:137.2 | flesh which it cannot surmount. The world obeys the laws that | sickness serves, but healing operates apart from them. |
W1:137.3 | It is impossible that anyone be healed alone. In | sickness must he be apart and separate. But healing is his own |

W1:137.4 | Sickness would prove that lies must be the truth. But healing | |

W1:137.4 | false. So healing, never needed by the truth, must demonstrate that | sickness is not real. |

Tx:8.41 | for all minds, and the one He taught me is yours. Let us not lose | sight of His direction through illusions, for only illusions of |
Tx:8.59 | use to which it can be put. To use the body unnaturally is to lose | sight of the Holy Spirit's purpose and thus to confuse the goal of |
Tx:8.60 | it is only because the goal of the curriculum has been lost | sight of. |
Tx:8.75 | is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole aim is to lose | sight of the function of everything. A sick body does not make any |
Tx:8.116 | because of the value of the return. The price for getting is to lose | sight of value, making it inevitable that you will not value what you |
Tx:9.77 | he is denying. Would you strengthen his denial of God and thus lose | sight of yourself? Or would you remind him of his wholeness and |
Tx:9.78 | are willing to attack the divinity of your brothers and thus lose | sight of yours. And you are willing to keep it hidden and to protect |
Tx:10.46 | The ego is totally confused about reality, but it does not lose | sight of its goal. It is much more vigilant than you are because it |
Tx:10.75 | and earth become one, even the real world will vanish from your | sight. The end of the world is not its destruction, but its |
Tx:10.82 | that you can get by taking. And by that perception, you have lost | sight of the real world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, |
Tx:11.28 | and the “how” of salvation, and this is the only answer. Never lose | sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe even for an |
Tx:11.57 | keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His | sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision |
Tx:11.58 | you decide to awaken. And then the real world will spring to your | sight, for Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He |
Tx:11.58 | has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost | sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He would |
Tx:11.78 | he is, for you chose to attack him, and he disappeared from your | sight into his Father. He did not change, but you did. For a split |
Tx:11.82 | sees nothing else in you. What is invisible to you is perfect in His | sight and encompasses all of it. He has remembered you because He |
Tx:11.89 | and to accept one is to deny the other. Guilt hides Christ from your | sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of God's Son. |
Tx:12.17 | is merciful, and His remedy is quick. Do not hide suffering from His | sight, but bring it gladly to Him. Lay before His eternal sanity all |
Tx:12.29 | of salvation, which makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your | sight. The Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the |
Tx:12.32 | But if you interpret your function as destruction, you will lose | sight of the present and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive |
Tx:12.38 | with your own voice. And the vision of Christ is not in your | sight, for you look upon yourself alone. |
Tx:12.41 | let the darkness go, and all you made you will no longer see, for | sight of it depends upon denying vision. Yet from denying vision, it |
Tx:12.45 | of your own. But for this no illusions can rise to meet your | sight, for all reality leaves no room for any error. This means that |
Tx:12.46 | that shrouds your brothers and conceals their reality from your | sight. |
Tx:12.51 | still dimension of time, which does not change and where there is no | sight of what you were, you look at Christ and call His witnesses to |
Tx:12.60 | The world you see must be denied, for | sight of it is costing you a different kind of vision. You cannot see |
Tx:12.60 | a different kind of seeing and depends on what you cherish. The | sight of one is possible because you have denied the other. Both are |
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. Christ |
Tx:12.71 | His guidance, you will travel light and journey lightly, for His | sight is ever on the journey's end which is His goal. God's Son is |
Tx:13.5 | brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing | sight into the darkness and enabling the world to see. For light must |
Tx:13.5 | they wander in the darkness, and let Him gather them into His quiet | sight that makes them one. |
Tx:13.65 | of the value of your guiltlessness and push it from your | sight. |
Tx:14.8 | from every thought that would steal it away and keep it from his | sight. Bring innocence to light in answer to the call of the |
Tx:14.8 | of guilt within which the Son of God has hidden himself from his own | sight. We are all joined in the Atonement here, and nothing else can |
Tx:14.23 | to restore it. Therefore, keep no source of interference from His | sight, for He will not attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, |
Tx:14.28 | them both, for each denies the other. Apart, this fact is lost from | sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with firm belief. |
Tx:14.74 | for it is not His Will to do so. With your perfection ever in His | sight, He gives the gift of peace to everyone who perceives the need |
Tx:15.90 | from love. What you invest in guilt, you withdraw from God. And your | sight grows weak and dim and limited, for you have attempted to |
Tx:15.97 | be deceived by any form the ego takes to protect itself from your | sight. |
Tx:16.3 | be done for you. Keep but one thought in mind and do not lose | sight of it, however tempted you may be to judge any situation and to |
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 attempt |
Tx:16.30 | it underground and out of sight. It is essential to bring it into | sight and to make no attempt to hide it. For it is the attempt to |
Tx:16.63 | crossed the bridge, the value of the body is so diminished in your | sight that you will see no need at all to magnify it. For you will |
Tx:17.7 | joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this | sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will |
Tx:17.12 | All this beauty will rise to bless your | sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness |
Tx:17.15 | It is these shadow figures which would make the ego holy in your | sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is really love. |
Tx:17.21 | will so attract you that you will be unwilling ever to lose the | sight of it again. And you will let it transform the relationship so |
Tx:17.53 | yourselves unable to express the holy instant, and thus you lose | sight of it. |
Tx:18.8 | dancing in the wind, dipping and turning till they disappear from | sight, far, far outside you. And turn you to the stately calm within, |
Tx:18.21 | dream, and one which you will share with all who come within your | sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon |
Tx:18.60 | The “something” can be anything and anywhere—a sound, a | sight, a thought, a memory, and even a general idea without specific |
Tx:18.64 | have you utterly forgotten the body. It has faded at times from your | sight, but it has not yet completely disappeared. You are not asked |
Tx:18.85 | Give it back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost | sight of Heaven. Let the Holy Spirit remove it from the withered |
Tx:19.13 | you in the holiness you see, not through the body's eyes but in the | sight of Him Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not |
Tx:19.14 | is nothing faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm | sight, which brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to all of |
Tx:19.34 | with Heaven's smile upon your lips and Heaven's blessing on your | sight. You will not see it long. For in the new perception, the mind |
Tx:19.35 | now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear before your holy | sight, for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can |
Tx:19.54 | you will see fear no more. The world will be transformed before your | sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The |
Tx:20.9 | they can see but thorns. Yet you have asked for and received another | sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's purpose as their own share |
Tx:20.41 | it has no function, for minds need not the body to communicate. The | sight that sees the body has no use which serves the purpose of a |
Tx:20.62 | unquestioned while the end is cherished. Vision adapts to wish, for | sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the body, you |
Tx:20.65 | look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, | sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to see him not |
Tx:20.71 | All is redeemed when looked upon with vision. For this is not your | sight, and brings with it the laws beloved of Him Whose sight it is. |
Tx:20.71 | is not your sight, and brings with it the laws beloved of Him Whose | sight it is. |
Tx:20.72 | place according to the laws brought to it by His calm and certain | sight. The end for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it |
Tx:20.76 | All meaning that you give the world outside must thus reflect the | sight you saw within; or better, if you saw at all or merely judged |
Tx:21.11 | This is the vision of the Son of God, whom you know well. Here is the | sight of him who knows his Father. Here is the memory of what you are |
Tx:21.23 | is it possible to look within and see what must be there plainly in | sight and wholly independent of inference and judgment. Undoing is |
Tx:21.37 | without one spot of sin upon it and in the innocence which makes the | sight of it as beautiful as Heaven. |
Tx:21.38 | Your faith in sacrifice has given it great power in your | sight, except you do not realize you cannot see because of it. For |
Tx:21.39 | they come with night and day, and so they must be joined. Yet | sight of one is but the sign the other has disappeared from sight. |
Tx:21.39 | Yet sight of one is but the sign the other has disappeared from | sight. Nor is it possible that what gives light be one with what |
Tx:21.48 | each other and remember the ego's weakness is revealed in both your | sight. What it would keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon |
Tx:22.4 | Here is the faith in differences shifted to sameness. [And here is | sight of differences transformed to vision.] And reason now can lead |
Tx:22.6 | vision such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose | sight is wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the world. If |
Tx:22.7 | this “something else” which you have made to be yourself became your | sight. Yet it must be the “something else” which sees, and as not |
Tx:22.7 | be the “something else” which sees, and as not you, explains its | sight to you. Your vision would, of course, render this quite |
Tx:22.8 | body. This is the one emotion that opposes love and always leads to | sight of differences and loss of sameness. Here is the one emotion |
Tx:22.9 | Your | sight was given you, along with everything that you can understand. |
Tx:22.9 | you, for everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And what your | sight would show you, you will understand because it is the truth. |
Tx:22.13 | in a language the body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful | sight or sound that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the |
Tx:22.29 | meaning. Vision is sense, quite literally. If it is not the body's | sight, it must be understood. For it is plain, and what is obvious is |
Tx:22.33 | that stands between you and the truth, is wholly true. Yet how can | sight which stops at nothingness as if it were a solid wall see |
Tx:22.34 | the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For | sight of form means understanding has been obscured. |
Tx:22.36 | him whose holiness is yours. Let not the vision of his holiness, the | sight of which would show you your forgiveness, be kept from you by |
Tx:22.41 | who looks upon the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the | sight you saw beyond the veil which you will bring to light the tired |
Tx:22.42 | you make the other will gently have corrected for you, for in his | sight your loveliness is his salvation which he would protect from |
Tx:22.57 | you cannot overlook? What form of suffering could block your | sight, preventing you from seeing past it? And what illusion could |
Tx:23.5 | and timeless as eternity. Do not let time intrude upon your | sight of him. Leave him not frightened and alone in his temptation |
Tx:23.10 | fought as an intruder on your peace is here transformed before your | sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to |
Tx:23.26 | is the Will of God. From where all this begins, there is no | sight of help that can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. |
Tx:23.27 | you must be worth having, just because they keep it hidden from your | sight. |
Tx:23.44 | in any form, if only thus does it become impossible that you lose | sight of it? It can be kept shining before your vision, forever clear |
Tx:23.44 | be kept shining before your vision, forever clear and never out of | sight if you defend it not. |
Tx:24.12 | seen in another and maintained by searching for and keeping clear in | sight all lacks it can perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks |
Tx:24.22 | you as one seem anything but Heaven and the hope of peace at last in | sight. |
Tx:24.23 | giver and receiver. Not one glance from eyes it veils but looks on | sight of death. Not one believer in its potency but seeks for |
Tx:24.25 | place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save through the | sight of all your misery and the awareness that your plan has failed |
Tx:24.43 | specialness delight in but to kill? What does it seek for but the | sight of death? Where does it lead but to destruction? Yet think not |
Tx:24.46 | one the gift of life that your forgiveness offers to your Self. The | sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all |
Tx:24.54 | see in everything. And it is He they look for everywhere and find no | sight nor place nor time where He is not. Within your brother's |
Tx:24.71 | provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no escape within its | sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own eyes. It grows |
Tx:25.26 | of the world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the | sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with instant |
Tx:25.30 | on His vision sin cannot encroach, for sin has been corrected by His | sight. And thus it must have been an error, not a sin. For what it |
Tx:25.41 | 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 but this—that you |
Tx:25.43 | an arbiter of vengeance nor a punisher of sin. The kindness of his | sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it offers others. For |
Tx:25.43 | heal and bless all those he looks on with the grace of God upon his | sight. |
Tx:25.44 | grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes | sight possible. |
Tx:25.55 | theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the | sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and |
Tx:25.57 | God appointed One as sane as He to raise a saner world to meet the | sight of everyone who chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is |
Tx:25.76 | an injustice to them both, since they are equal in the Holy Spirit's | sight. Their Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have |
Tx:25.81 | The | sight of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The |
Tx:25.82 | eyes, but as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the | sight the Holy Spirit gives. |
Tx:26.3 | of yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For | sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and |
Tx:26.4 | Yet is it given him to make the world recede before his song and | sight of him replace the body's eyes. |
Tx:26.6 | You can lose | sight of oneness, but can not make sacrifice of its reality. Nor can |
Tx:26.16 | will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle | sight. For all of them are little in His sight and worth no more than |
Tx:26.16 | the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little in His | sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before they disappear, |
Tx:26.84 | stands now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed within His | sight. An ancient miracle has come to bless and to replace an ancient |
Tx:27.20 | no more to suffer. For his innocence has been established in your | sight and his. And laughter will replace your sighs because God's Son |
Tx:27.48 | gave. The holy instant's radiance will light your eyes and give them | sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's face instead. |
Tx:27.49 | its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who brought the | sight to them by which they witnessed it. The world of accusation is |
Tx:27.74 | murder and there is no death. The dream of guilt is fading from your | sight, although your eyes are closed. A smile has come to lighten up |
Tx:28.55 | It is indeed a senseless point of view to hold responsible for | sight a thing that cannot see and blame it for the sounds you do not |
Tx:30.94 | But do not give it power to replace the changeless in him in your | sight of him. There is no false appearance but will fade if you |
Tx:31.25 | and sureness of the road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your | sight but cannot make the way itself grow dark. And He Who travels |
Tx:31.54 | meaning that was given it by you. It also shows some glimmering of | sight into perception's law that what you see reflects the state of |
Tx:31.62 | Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your holy | sight, that you may see the world of flesh no more except to heal and |
Tx:31.63 | dust? Salvation is undoing of all this. And constancy arises in the | sight of those whose eyes salvation has released from looking at the |
Tx:31.64 | ever be. You do not understand how what you see arose to meet your | sight. For if you did, it would be gone. The veil of ignorance is |
Tx:31.66 | changed. Are you invulnerable? Then the world is harmless in your | sight. Do you forgive? Then is the world forgiving, for you have |
Tx:31.69 | too confused about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your | sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself |
Tx:31.70 | upon the good in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your | sight and will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow |
Tx:31.70 | your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world beyond the | sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you will not |
Tx:31.70 | what you see without the Aid that God has given you. And in His | sight there is another world. |
Tx:31.74 | shield, a silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from your | sight. All things you see are images because you look on them as |
Tx:31.74 | images because you look on them as through a barrier which dims your | sight and warps your vision, so that you behold nothing with clarity. |
Tx:31.74 | hell, for fear is hell. All that is given you is for release—the | sight, the vision, and the inner Guide all lead you out of hell with |
Tx:31.75 | is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing stands between his | sight and what he looks upon to judge what he beholds. And in this |
Tx:31.75 | light where darkness was before, and now the veil is lifted from his | sight. |
Tx:31.76 | the body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from the | sight of him who holds the mirror to another view of what he is and |
Tx:31.88 | is powerless before His majesty and disappears before His holy | sight. The saviors of the world who see like Him are merely those who |
Tx:31.94 | loveliness which they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to our | sight to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on before |
W1:I.3 | undoing of what you see now and the second with the restoration of | sight. It is recommended that each exercise be repeated several times |
W1:4.2 | you are aware are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows make | sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight and make seeing |
W1:4.2 | and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to | sight and make seeing impossible. You do not want either. |
W1:20.1 | has been intentional and very carefully planned. We have not lost | sight of the crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking. The |
W1:30.3 | you do see now or could see now if it were within the range of your | sight. |
W1:36.1 | because your mind is part of God's. And because you are holy, your | sight must be holy as well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot |
W1:36.1 | you must be sinless or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your | sight is related to His holiness, not to your ego and therefore not |
W1:46.10 | may vary considerably, but the central idea should not be lost | sight of. You might say, for example: |
W1:54.4 | in them. And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their | sight as well as mine. |
W1:75.3 | beginning of the new. No shadows from the past remain to darken our | sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept |
W1:75.4 | the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. | Sight is given us, now that the light has come. |
W1:75.9 | Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of | sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have |
W1:75.11 | the Love of God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your | sight completely. Be confident that on this day there is a new |
W1:75.15 | today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the | sight of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven |
W1:78.2 | the miracle instead. We will reverse the way you see by not allowing | sight to stop before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of |
W1:78.3 | light where each one stood before. For every grievance is a block to | sight, and as it lifts, you see the Son of God where he has always |
W1:78.11 | and look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances obscure the | sight of him. You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express through him |
W1:81.5 | will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my | sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my |
W1:85.4 | Let me not use this as a block to | sight. The light of the world will shine all this away. I have no |
W1:92.8 | it cannot give but to itself. No one can ask in vain to share its | sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle |
W1:92.10 | unto your Self. Its strength will be the light in which the gift of | sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and |
W1:92.11 | can the idea for today and recognize that we are being introduced to | sight and led away from darkness to the light, where only miracles |
W1:97.5 | and Which calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His | sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth. |
W1:104.8 | belong to us as His eternal gifts. We will not let ourselves lose | sight of them between the times we come to seek for them where He has |
W1:124.11 | love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a | sight too holy for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure |
W1:128.3 | yourself. All things you seek to make your value greater in your | sight limit you further, hide your worth from you, and add another |
W1:130.12 | part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed your | sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of |
W1:154.15 | 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 |
W1:156.7 | little interval of doubt which still remains, you may perhaps lose | sight of your Companion, and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient |
W1:159.4 | they are one in Heaven. Christ beholds no sin in anyone, and in His | sight the sinless are as one. Their holiness was given by His Father |
W1:160.10 | his brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the gift of | sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, |
W1:161.6 | You have many times been urged to look beyond the body, for its | sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's vision does not |
W1:161.9 | Yet you will take his hand instead, for you are like him in the | sight that sees him thus. |
W1:161.12 | Then think of this—what you are seeing now conceals from you the | sight of one who can forgive you all your sins, whose sacred hands |
W1:162.4 | thus you learn to think with God. Christ's vision has restored your | sight by salvaging your mind. |
W1:164.1 | 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 |
W1:164.2 | The world fades easily away before His | sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the world |
W1:164.3 | How holy is your practicing today, as Christ gives you His | sight and hears for you and answers in your name the call He hears. |
W1:164.7 | joy because its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in the | sight of Christ, with all the world forgiven in our own. |
W1:165.5 | you now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision? For this | sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing |
W1:166.11 | live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the | sight that looked upon it now has been replaced by vision which |
W1:181.2 | on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their | sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond. |
W1:181.5 | 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 magnify |
W1:182.12 | have made. And now the way is open, and the journey has an end in | sight at last. Be still a moment and go home with Him, and be at |
W1:184.13 | 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. |
W1:187.11 | it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy | sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, |
W1:188.2 | difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. There is no | sight, be it of dreams or from a truer source, that is not but the |
W1:188.6 | within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of | sight to you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts fly to |
W1:189.1 | to look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your | sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To |
W1:189.6 | tenderness, Its Love Which knows us perfect as Itself, Its | sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way |
W1:191.2 | remains. You look on chaos and proclaim it as yourself. There is no | sight that fails to witness this to you. There is no sound that does |
W1:192.6 | you will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of | sight no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick |
W1:193.2 | he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his erring | sight and give him vision that will lead him back to where perception |
W1:194.1 | encompasses, it sets you down just short of Heaven, with the goal in | sight and obstacles behind. Your foot has reached the lawns that |
W1:198.14 | of the Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this single | sight and timelessness itself, you see the vision of yourself and |
W1:198.15 | 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 that |
W2:WIW.4 | As | sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds |
W2:247.1 | means whereby Christ's vision comes to me. Let me accept what His | sight shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely. |
W2:266.1 | You gave me all Your Sons to be my saviors and my counselors in | sight—the bearers of Your holy Voice to me. In them are You |
W2:266.2 | He has filled the world with those who point to Him and given us the | sight to look on them? |
W2:268.2 | Let not our | sight be blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. |

Tx:6.37 | use of projection and projection as the Holy Spirit uses it is very | simple. The ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The |
Tx:6.59 | of this could be included in only three words: “Do only that!” This | simple statement is perfectly clear, easily understood, and very |
Tx:8.50 | the joy of the Holy Trinity. You do not understand this for a very | simple reason. You who are God's own treasure do not regard |

Tx:11.7 | How | simple, then, is God's plan for salvation. There is but one response |

Tx:13.47 | and follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit teaches you the | simple conclusions that speak for truth and only truth. |
Tx:13.53 | never learn. His message is not indirect, but He must introduce the | simple truth into a thought system which has become so twisted and so |
Tx:13.56 | that you have woven out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the | simple truth, and nothing are you less inclined to listen to. The |
Tx:13.57 | The | simple and the obvious are not apparent to those who would make |

Tx:13.73 | guilt is self-protection.] And they will fail to understand the | simple fact that what they do not want must hurt them. |
Tx:14.51 | do that which requires no judgment of your own. The answer is very | simple. The power of God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The |
Tx:14.64 | you have taught yourselves. How would you know? Your part is very | simple. You need only recognize that everything you learned you do |

Tx:15.100 | decision just as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is | simple, being of God and therefore very easy to understand. Do not |
Tx:15.101 | choice between them is nothing more than a gentle awakening and as | simple as opening your eyes to daylight when you have no more need of |
Tx:16.7 | hurt one will hurt the other. Foolish requests are foolish for the | simple reason that they conflict because they contain an element of |
Tx:16.56 | Salvation lies in the | simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they are not true. |
Tx:16.56 | you are denying truth, and so are making yourself unable to make the | simple choice between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember |
Tx:16.58 | How | simple does this choice become when it is perceived as only what it |

Tx:18.36 | must first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than | simple willingness to make way for it. Purification is of God alone |
Tx:18.86 | How is this done? It is extremely | simple, being based on what this little kingdom really is. The barren |
Tx:20.19 | A | simple question yet remains and needs an answer. Do you like what you |

Tx:20.58 | goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so | simple and direct, this course has nothing in it that is not |
Tx:20.74 | all you need to do is recognize you did this. Once you accept this | simple fact and take unto yourself the power you gave them, you are |
Tx:21.13 | the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being true, it is so | simple that it cannot fail to be completely understood. Rejected yes, |
Tx:21.51 | Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as natural. They are as | simple and natural to It as breathing to the body. They are the |
Tx:21.52 | it. Like all that stems from reason, the basic question is obvious, | simple, and remains unasked. But think not reason could not answer it. |
Tx:21.54 | God's plan is | simple—never circular and never self-defeating. He has no Thoughts |
Tx:25.74 | and recognized. For just one witness is enough if he sees truly. | Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if |
Tx:25.75 | and not his sin. How little need you give the Holy Spirit that | simple justice may be given you! |
Tx:26.18 | decide? For it is conflict that makes choice [complex]. The truth is | simple—it is one, without an opposite. And how could strife enter |

Tx:27.37 | here their answer is. [And where its answer is, a problem must be | simple and be easily resolved.] It must be pointless to attempt to |
Tx:27.38 | is no answer there that could be found. Nowhere outside a single | simple question is ever asked. The world can only ask a double |
Tx:27.63 | up. How could there be another way to solve a problem which is very | simple but has been obscured by heavy clouds of complication which |
Tx:27.63 | when clearly seen. No one has difficulty making up his mind to let a | simple problem be resolved if it is seen as hurting him and also very |
Tx:27.87 | Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very | simple truth. For this one answer takes away the cause of every form |
Tx:27.87 | what their form. And you will understand that miracles reflect the | simple statement, |
Tx:28.28 | we must begin. And having started, will the way be made serene and | simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the dream. When |
Tx:28.46 | want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he has received the | simple happiness of health? What God has given cannot be a loss, and |
Tx:29.10 | because you see it as the road to hell instead of looking on it as a | simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to find yourself in |
Tx:30.14 | promise you a happy day. Yet this decision still can be undone by | simple methods which you can accept. |
Tx:30.29 | That is really all. The first rule, then, is not coercion but a | simple statement of a simple fact. You will not make decisions by |
Tx:30.29 | The first rule, then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a | simple fact. You will not make decisions by yourself whatever you |
Tx:30.54 | but deceive the mind that wants to be deceived. And you can make a | simple choice that will forever place you far beyond deception. You |
Tx:30.54 | changes have been quickly brought about when you decide one very | simple thing—you do not want whatever you believe an idol gives. |
Tx:30.80 | by your wish to make illusions real. And what is this except a | simple statement of the truth? |
Tx:31.1 | How | simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true |
Tx:31.1 | if you become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not such | simple things? |
Tx:31.2 | There is a reason. But confuse it not with difficulty in the | simple things salvation asks you learn. It teaches but the very |
Tx:31.3 | overlearned and fixed they rise like heavy curtains to obscure the | simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them. For your power |
Tx:31.4 | the Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the | simple things salvation teaches you! |
Tx:31.5 | for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His | simple lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than yours |
Tx:31.6 | strange in outcome and incredible in difficulty, will withstand the | simple lessons being taught to you in every moment of each day, since |
Tx:31.39 | course impossible to learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a | simple teaching in the obvious. |
Tx:31.56 | It does not concern itself with content of the mind, but with the | simple statement that it thinks. And what can think has choice and |
Tx:31.79 | Yet it can look with love or look with hate, depending only on the | simple choice of whether you would join with what you see or keep |

W1:64.6 | simple. Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a | simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form of the |
W1:64.6 | decision on earth can have a content different from just this one | simple choice. That is the only choice the Holy Spirit sees. |

W1:73.6 | and cannot stand between you and your salvation. The reason is very | simple. Do you really want to be in hell? Do you really want to weep |
W1:76.2 | not and never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how | simple is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it |
W1:77.1 | And you will offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how | simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your true Identity. |
W1:77.6 | today. We are asking a real question at last. The answer is a | simple statement of a simple fact. You will receive the assurance |
W1:77.6 | a real question at last. The answer is a simple statement of a | simple fact. You will receive the assurance that you seek. |
W1:77.7 | periods will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a | simple fact. Tell yourself often today: |
W1:80.3 | you remember this. One problem—one solution. Accept the peace this | simple statement brings. |
W1:80.8 | be determined to be free of problems that do not exist. The means is | simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about what the problem is, |
W1:97.5 | offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the | simple truth. |
W1:105.5 | love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in | simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less |
W1:108.7 | with the special case of giving and receiving. We will use this | simple lesson in the obvious because it has results we cannot miss. |
W1:108.13 | Our very | simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause will be |
W1:122.6 | cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely | simple statement of the truth. |
W1:132.20 | world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your | simple change of mind: |
W1:133.13 | Complexity is nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very | simple fact that no decision can be difficult. |
W1:133.17 | some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this | simple thought: |
W1:134.8 | the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of the | simple truth. By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens |
W1:134.9 | this gift of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very | simple way to find the door to true forgiveness and perceive it open |
W1:135.26 | receiving what you will receive today. And in the light and joy of | simple truth, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must |
W1:136.13 | Such is the | simple truth. It does not make appeal to might nor triumph. It does |
W1:137.4 | happened. To be healed is merely to accept what always was the | simple truth and always will remain exactly as it has forever been. |
W1:137.7 | must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before the | simple truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in spite of |
W1:139.1 | this one. There is no conflict that does not entail the single | simple question, “What am I?” |
W1:155.2 | behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is | simple sanity. |
W1:155.3 | This is the | simple choice we make today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in |
W1:155.3 | their madness, but who still can look beyond illusion to the | simple truth in them. |
W1:156.1 | Today's idea but states the | simple truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises |
W1:161.1 | fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here is salvation in the | simple words in which we practice today's idea. Here is the answer to |
W1:182.2 | is illusion, not to be considered more than but a dream. Yet who in | simple honesty, without defensiveness and self-deception, would deny |
W1:192.1 | in its own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond his | simple grasp? |
W1:192.5 | Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a | simple teaching aid to be laid by when learning is complete, but |
W1:192.9 | Release instead of bind, for thus are you made free. The way is | simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword |
W1:193.7 | is this sameness which makes learning sure because the lesson is so | simple that it cannot be rejected in the end. No one can hide forever |
W1:193.7 | is recognized as easily in all of them if one but wants to see the | simple lesson there. |
W1:193.12 | you now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to learn the | simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all pain may |
W1:198.5 | And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and learn the | simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words |
W1:200.11 | will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a | simple, happy way to leave the world of ambiguity and to replace our |
W1:R6.5 | that clutters up the mind and makes it deaf to reason, sanity, and | simple truth. |
W2:I.3 | and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content ourselves with | simple practicing in the remaining holy instants which conclude the |
W2:I.3 | instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We say some | simple words of welcome and expect our Father to reveal Himself as He |
W2:247.1 | vision comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the | simple truth and I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me |
W2:297.1 | I want, and everything I give I give myself. This is salvation's | simple formula. And I, who would be saved, would make it mine to be |
M:4.8 | way out. “Give up what you do not want and keep what you do.” How | simple is the obvious! And how easy to do! The teacher of God needs |
M:4.17 | God's teachers have learned how to be | simple. They have no dreams that need defense against the truth. They |
M:5.9 | come to represent another choice which they had forgotten. The | simple presence of a teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts ask |
M:16.10 | There is no substitute for the Will of God. In | simple statement, it is to this fact that the teacher of God devotes |
M:20.6 | What is the peace of God? No more than this—the | simple understanding that His Will is wholly without opposite. There |
M:22.6 | It is your forgiveness that must show him this. Healing is very | simple. Atonement is received and offered. Having been received, it |

Tx:13.56 | where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins His lesson in | simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is true. This is |

Tx:13.61 | The universe of learning will open up before you in all its gracious | simplicity. With truth before you, you will not look back. |
Tx:13.63 | Where everything is clear, it is all holy. The quietness of its | simplicity is so compelling that you will realize it is impossible to |

Tx:27.63 | Without the clouds, the problem will emerge in all its primitive | simplicity. The choice will not be difficult, because the problem is |
W1:80.5 | and that the problem has one solution. It is in this that the | simplicity of salvation lies. It is because of this that it is |
W1:90.2 | which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the | simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one |
W1:122.6 | for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its | simplicity. All the complexities the world has spun of fragile |
W1:189.6 | today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it carries us. For its | simplicity avoids the snares the foolish convolutions of the world's |

Tx:I.3 | This course can therefore be summed up very | simply in this way: |
Tx:1.34 | because they have professed me. “Heaven and earth shall pass away” | simply means that they will not continue to exist as separate states. |
Tx:2.56 | unworthy form of denial. The term “unworthy” here implies | simply that it is not necessary to protect the mind by denying the |
Tx:2.64 | in a position to recognize that those who need to be healed are | simply those who have not realized that right-mindedness is healing. |
Tx:2.109 | The Last Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. It | simply means that finally all men will come to understand what is |
Tx:3.27 | means that you never misperceive and always see truly. More | simply, it means that you never see what does not really exist. When |
Tx:4.20 | the child may. I can be entrusted with your body and your ego | simply because this enables you not to be concerned with them and |
Tx:6.21 | I believed in betrayal. The whole message of the crucifixion was | simply that I did not. The “punishment” which I am said to have |
Tx:7.3 | are part of His Sons. To create is to love. Love extends outward | simply because it cannot be contained. Being limitless, it does not |
Tx:8.4 | within it. Your past learning must have taught you the wrong things | simply because it has not made you happy. On this basis alone, its |
Tx:8.9 | himself? The ego has never given you a sensible answer to anything. | Simply on the grounds of your own experience with the ego's teaching, |
Tx:8.26 | a light into a world that does deny itself everything. It does this | simply by dissociating itself from everything. It is therefore an |
Tx:8.27 | by all. How else could it be perfectly accomplished? My mission was | simply to unite the will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father |
Tx:8.40 | Ours is | simply the journey back to God, Who is our home. Whenever fear |
Tx:8.53 | physically to accept this interpretation. You are accepting it | simply by the belief that attack can get you something you want. If |
Tx:8.95 | things to the same mind. This loses the ability to communicate | simply because confused communication does not mean anything. A |
Tx:8.98 | inevitable, attempts to teach himself to like it. The truth is, very | simply, that no one wants either abandonment or retaliation. Many |
Tx:9.14 | Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies | simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and thus keeping it |
Tx:9.32 | in His giving. This is not because He limits His giving, but | simply because you have limited your receiving. The will to receive |
Tx:9.35 | You are not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very | simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them |
Tx:9.44 | with unwillingness to know and produces a total lack of knowledge | simply because knowledge is total. Not to question your littleness, |
Tx:9.64 | The reason you do not know your creations is | simply that you would decide against them as long as your minds are |
Tx:9.75 | of Him awakens throughout the Sonship. Heal your brothers | simply by accepting God for them. |
Tx:9.82 | Very | simply, then, you may believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you |
Tx:10.8 | but time has no meaning. You who made delay can leave time behind | simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings were |
Tx:10.8 | creation nor upon those who create like Him. You do not know this | simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and so you |
Tx:10.49 | attacked truth, you are believing that attack has power. Very | simply, then, you have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to |
Tx:11.36 | one proviso—do not find it. Its dictates, then, can be summed up | simply as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the ego |
Tx:11.99 | is real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy Spirit dispels it | simply through the calm recognition that it has never been. As He |
Tx:13.57 | crowns because of them. All this the Holy Spirit sees and teaches | simply that all this is not true. To these unhappy learners who would |
Tx:13.75 | you alone 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 |
Tx:14.19 | Death yields to life | simply because destruction is not true. The light of guiltlessness |
Tx:15.40 | prefer not to recognize it and not to let it go. The simple reason, | simply stated, is this: The holy instant is a time in which you |
Tx:15.53 | substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of reference is | simply God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the |
Tx:15.95 | same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is | simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to the ego |
Tx:16.44 | Very | simply, the attempt to make guilty is always directed against God. |
Tx:16.57 | The core of the separation delusion lies | simply in the fantasy of destruction of love's meaning. And unless |
Tx:16.58 | you and also the only one. You will cross the bridge into reality | simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side and |
Tx:17.3 | deal with them only because you would keep them from truth. Very | simply, your lack of faith in the power that heals all pain arises |
Tx:17.11 | The real world is attained | simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see |
Tx:17.25 | Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes come | simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God are true. And all |
Tx:17.29 | real relationships even in this world which you do not recognize | simply because you have raised their substitutes to such predominance |
Tx:17.58 | in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, very | simply, is, “What do I want to come of this? What is it for?” The |
Tx:17.60 | The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is | simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it |
Tx:17.74 | not forced any exclusion on it. It is a situation of perfect peace | simply because you have let it be what it is. |
Tx:18.24 | hide from truth forever in complete insanity. What you forgot was | simply that God cannot destroy Himself. The light is in you. Darkness |
Tx:18.59 | of the body and have let yourself be one with something beyond it | simply by not letting your mind be limited by it. |
Tx:18.61 | is no violence at all in this escape. The body is not attacked, but | simply properly perceived. It does not limit you merely because you |
Tx:18.62 | but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For peace will join you there | simply because you have been willing to let go the limits you have |
Tx:19.90 | would you feel and think if death held no attraction for you? Very | simply, you would remember your Father. The Creator of life, the |
Tx:21.20 | this little offering. Look closer, then, at what it is. And very | simply see in it the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All |
Tx:21.22 | in; only to stop your interference with what will happen of itself; | simply to recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave |
Tx:21.31 | he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it will be | simply because he no longer believes in them, withdrawing faith that |
Tx:21.61 | You do not leave insanity by going somewhere else. You leave it | simply by accepting reason where madness was. Madness and reason see |
Tx:21.78 | as you look on the effects of sin in any form, all you need do is | simply ask yourself, |
Tx:24.67 | The test of everything on earth is | simply this: “What is it for?” The answer makes it what it is for |
Tx:25.10 | you beyond them to the truth that is beyond them. All this can very | simply be reduced to this: |
Tx:27.64 | the world is made, on which it rests, by which it is maintained, is | simply this: “You are the cause of what I do. Your presence justifies |

Tx:30.86 | Escape from judgment | simply lies in this—all things have but one purpose which you share |
Tx:31.86 | of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you think is real. | Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given |

W1:71.7 | How can you escape all this? Very | simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for |

M:3.3 | the best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is | simply to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is |
M:8.3 | not exist in the world outside at all. What is seen as “reality” is | simply what the mind prefers. Its hierarchy of values is projected |
M:16.7 | How | simply and how easily does the day slip by for the teacher of God who |

Tx:5.64 | The ego does not perceive | sin as a lack of love. It perceives sin as a positive act of assault. |
Tx:5.64 | The ego does not perceive sin as a lack of love. It perceives | sin as a positive act of assault. This is an interpretation which is |
Tx:5.64 | is necessary to the ego's survival, because as soon as you regard | sin as a lack you will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. |
Tx:9.93 | God is to deny their own identity, and in this sense the wages of | sin is death. The sense is very literal; denial of life perceives its |
Tx:9.98 | can be corrected, and God will help you, knowing that you could not | sin against Him. You denied Him because you loved Him, knowing that |
Tx:9.101 | of yourself as you are. Your Father created you wholly without | sin, wholly without pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. |
Tx:9.101 | and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny Him, you bring | sin, pain, and suffering into your own mind because of the power He |
Tx:13.15 | guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone, believe this not. For | sin and condemnation are the same, and the belief in one is faith in |

Tx:18.63 | a means in your interpretation, and this always means you still find | sin attractive. No one accepts Atonement for himself who still |
Tx:18.63 | attractive. No one accepts Atonement for himself who still accepts | sin as his goal. You have thus not met your one responsibility. |
Tx:18.65 | past and future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for | sin is never present. In any single instant, the attraction of guilt |

Tx:19.25 | because of this attraction. Fear can become so acute that the | sin is denied the acting out, but while the guilt remains attractive |

Tx:19.33 | If | sin were real, it would forever be beyond the hope of healing. For |
Tx:19.33 | this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the belief in | sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. You see it still because |
Tx:19.34 | given to correction to be healed, not hidden. You will be healed of | sin and all its ravages the instant that you give it no power over |
Tx:19.34 | mistakes by joyously releasing one another from the belief in | sin. |

Tx:19.36 | in each other, and let not sin arise again to blind your eyes. For | sin would keep you separate, but your Redeemer would have you look |
Tx:19.46 | to have a mighty purpose; the fixed and unchangeable dedication to | sin and its results. Now it is aimless, wandering pointlessly, |
Tx:19.47 | wish, this tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the belief in | sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the world. It is |
Tx:19.50 | ordered to seek out guilt and cherish every scrap of evil and of | sin which they can find, losing none of them on pain of death and |
Tx:19.51 | of guilt escapes their hungry eyes. And in their savage search for | sin, they pounce on any living thing they see and carry it screaming |
Tx:19.56 | means you have at last forgiven me. For I became the symbol of your | sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin means death, |
Tx:19.56 | symbol of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego | sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. |

Tx:19.66 | Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the end of | sin and shows you that its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, |
Tx:19.66 | its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the belief in | sin is gone? And where is death, when its great advocate is heard no |
Tx:19.71 | relationship be understood, for it is one the ego sees as proof of | sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but the inevitable |
Tx:19.75 | true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to the goal of | sin and places in it all its faith that this can be accomplished. Its |
Tx:19.78 | was wearing to his funeral and hear him laugh at death. The sentence | sin would lay upon him he can escape through your forgiveness. |
Tx:19.80 | From the ego came | sin and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to |
Tx:19.80 | the peace of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither | sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of |
Tx:19.80 | nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither | sin nor its results. The shrouded figures in the funeral procession |
Tx:19.81 | they dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to | sin, offered to sin to feed upon and keep itself alive—a thing |
Tx:19.81 | to death, a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to | sin to feed upon and keep itself alive—a thing condemned, damned by |
Tx:19.81 | him are but honoring the Will of his Creator. The arrogance of | sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of separation—all are part |
Tx:19.86 | go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The end of | sin, which nestles quietly in the safety of your relationship, |
Tx:19.88 | one reason—the ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of | sin and death. Remember then that neither sign nor symbol should be |
Tx:19.89 | and look upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of | sin and death nor use it for destruction. Teach me how not to make of |
Tx:19.95 | remembering your promise to your “friends.” The “loveliness” of | sin, the delicate appeal of guilt, the “holy” waxen image of death, |
Tx:19.103 | beautiful He is! You thought He sinned because you cast the veil of | sin upon Him to hide His loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness |
Tx:19.103 | salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of | sin, know not Whom they attack. This is your brother, crucified by |
Tx:19.103 | sin, know not Whom they attack. This is your brother, crucified by | sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would you not offer him |
Tx:19.105 | disturbed and tortured mind. Help him to lift the heavy burden of | sin you laid upon him and he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly |
Tx:19.107 | within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release from | sin here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So will we prepare |
Tx:19.107 | let him rise again to glad remembrance of his Father, Who knows no | sin, no death, but only life eternal. |
Tx:20.4 | [Easter is not the celebration of the cost of | sin but of its end.] If you see glimpses of the face of Christ behind |

Tx:20.16 | The belief in | sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a shift in |
Tx:20.22 | The world believes in | sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. |
Tx:20.27 | is justified. There is no fear in perfect love because it knows no | sin and it must look on others as on itself. Looking with charity |
Tx:20.28 | Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no power to | sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this world sees |
Tx:20.29 | Sin has no place in Heaven, where its results are alien and can no | |
Tx:20.29 | lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See | sin in him instead, and Heaven is lost to you. But see him as he is, |
Tx:20.32 | within your brother and share with him the power of the release from | sin you offered him. To each who walks this earth in seeming solitude |
Tx:20.33 | And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which | sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without fear, |
Tx:20.38 | Each herald of eternity sings of the end of | sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two |
Tx:20.55 | The body is the ego's idol; the belief in | sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces what seems |
Tx:20.59 | of discomfort that follows the sudden change in a relationship from | sin to holiness should now be almost over. To the extent you still |
Tx:20.61 | For holiness is merely the result of letting the effects of | sin be lifted so what was always true is recognized. To see a sinless |
Tx:20.62 | The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here is | sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a |
Tx:20.63 | see him as sinful; he does not see him at all. In the darkness of | sin, he is invisible. He can but be imagined in the darkness, and it |
Tx:20.63 | in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of | sin an instant before he dies. |
Tx:20.64 | the goal is valued. And judgment has no value unless the goal is | sin. |
Tx:20.65 | How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the means of | sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is learned from Him Who |
Tx:20.65 | teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot look on | sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, sight of |
Tx:20.72 | and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness becomes benign, and | sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. What can the body's |
Tx:20.72 | the body's eyes perceive, with power to correct? Its eyes adjust to | sin, unable to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in |
Tx:20.73 | up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to | sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly |
Tx:20.75 | Only two purposes are possible. And one is | sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between, and which you choose |
Tx:20.75 | means by which the outside world, projected from within, adjusts to | sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still is true that |
Tx:20.76 | hallucinations that show you all the fearful outcomes of imagined | sin into the calm and reassuring sights with which He would replace |
Tx:20.76 | purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away from | sin, reminding you that it is not reality which frightens you and |
Tx:21.14 | vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete escape from | sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no |
Tx:21.17 | God created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided | sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to |
Tx:21.24 | of reality to make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of | sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify its purpose. |
Tx:21.29 | All special relationships have | sin as their goal. For they are bargains with reality, toward which |
Tx:21.30 | you have accepted the idea of making room for truth. The source of | sin is gone. You may imagine that you still experience its effects, |
Tx:21.30 | brings. The power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in | sin. But it is always recognized if it is placed in love. |
Tx:21.31 | to place equal faith in opposite directions. What faith you give to | sin you take away from holiness. And what you offer holiness has been |
Tx:21.31 | from holiness. And what you offer holiness has been removed from | sin. |
Tx:21.33 | and belief you made as means for losing certainty and finding | sin. This mad direction was your choice, and by your faith in what |
Tx:21.34 | The Holy Spirit has a use for all the means for | sin by which you sought to find it. But as He uses them, they lead |
Tx:21.34 | you sought to find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from | sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He sees the |
Tx:21.34 | perception that you might choose among your brothers and seek for | sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach |
Tx:21.35 | belief become attached to vision, as all the means that once served | sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is |
Tx:21.35 | served sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you think is | sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the body you hate |
Tx:21.35 | forgive him, you would condemn him to the body because the means for | sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your belief. |
Tx:21.36 | from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for | sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to look |
Tx:21.36 | are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from | sin are given vision and are led to holiness. |
Tx:21.37 | Those who believe in | sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how |
Tx:21.37 | For He Who loves the world is seeing it for you without one spot of | sin upon it and in the innocence which makes the sight of it as |
Tx:21.38 | in the mind, which tries to use the body to carry out the means for | sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body |
Tx:21.38 | joining of mind and body an inescapable belief of those who value | sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means for limitation and thus |
Tx:21.40 | The body was made to be a sacrifice to | sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the light of |
Tx:21.41 | no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look within and see the | sin you think is there. This you would not be fearful to admit. Fear |
Tx:21.41 | This you would not be fearful to admit. Fear in association with | sin the ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no |
Tx:21.41 | fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your belief and faith in | sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. Your faith that sin is |
Tx:21.41 | in sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. Your faith that | sin is there but witnesses to your desire that it be there to see. |
Tx:21.42 | tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on | sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do |
Tx:21.42 | is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look within because of | sin is yet another fear and one which makes the ego tremble. |
Tx:21.43 | What if you looked within and saw no | sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never asks. And you who |
Tx:21.43 | which you join with what is part of you in truth. And your belief in | sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to |
Tx:21.44 | you now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. It knows no | sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy |
Tx:21.48 | and looks upon the ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of | sin, follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held back by |
Tx:21.55 | own right. It 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:21.57 | and those who use it have gained a means which cannot be applied to | sin. Knowledge is far beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can |
Tx:21.59 | Reason cannot see | sin but can see errors and leads to their correction. It does not |
Tx:21.59 | but their correction. Reason will also tell you when you think you | sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call |
Tx:21.60 | Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your brother. | Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see |
Tx:21.60 | And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself apart from it? | Sin would maintain you must be separate. But reason tells you that |
Tx:21.64 | If you choose | sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can |
Tx:21.70 | strange belief that you are powerless? Being helpless is the cost of | sin. Helplessness is sin's condition—the one requirement that it |
Tx:21.74 | Yet hate must have a target. There can be no faith in | sin without an enemy. Who that believes in sin would dare believe he |
Tx:21.74 | There can be no faith in sin without an enemy. Who that believes in | sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one |
Tx:21.74 | he cannot understand, he will but emphasize his helplessness and let | sin tell him that his enemy must be himself. But let him only ask |
Tx:21.75 | helpless? Do I desire a world in which I have no enemies and cannot | sin? And do I want to see what I denied because it is the truth? |
Tx:21.76 | Here, then, would seem to be the last remaining hope of finding | sin and not accepting power. |
Tx:21.77 | Forget not that the choice of truth or | sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to attack or |
Tx:21.78 | And then it will be clear to you that, as you look on the effects of | sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask yourself, |
Tx:21.81 | for power, and lose this same desire as a little glint of | sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless world and let an |
Tx:21.82 | same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the world of | sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin |
Tx:21.82 | of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of | sin denies. And therefore those who look on sin are seeing the denial |
Tx:21.82 | it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those who look on | sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the last question |
Tx:22.1 | whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on | sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could never see |
Tx:22.1 | together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on | sin together, for they could never see it in the same place and time. |
Tx:22.1 | together, for they could never see it in the same place and time. | Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in the other yet |
Tx:22.2 | what you both believed and saw. And with their going is the need for | sin gone with them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone |
Tx:22.2 | their going is the need for sin gone with them. Who has need for | sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their brothers different from |
Tx:22.2 | It is this difference, seen but not real, that makes the need for | sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if |
Tx:22.2 | not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if | sin were so. For an unholy relationship is based on differences, |
Tx:22.8 | would tell you that this is no secret that need be hidden as a | sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from |
Tx:22.8 | need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of | sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt is only |
Tx:22.19 | of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in | sin if the belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart |
Tx:22.20 | means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in | sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason |
Tx:22.28 | willingness if you would be released entirely from all effects of | sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach |
Tx:22.28 | forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach Heaven while a single | sin still tempts you to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of |
Tx:22.30 | you thought was real is not. Reason can see the difference between | sin and mistakes because it wants correction. Therefore, it tells you |
Tx:22.30 | The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in | sin and disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can be |
Tx:22.31 | brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be given you. | Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate, locked and without a key, |
Tx:22.32 | give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be corrected. | Sin is but error in a special form the ego venerates. It would |
Tx:22.33 | can see only illusions, unable to look beyond the granite block of | sin and stopping at the outside form of nothing. To this distorted |
Tx:22.36 | except what you associate with his body, which you believe can | sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave |
Tx:22.37 | each one is valued because he seems to justify the other's | sin. He sees within the other what impels him to sin against his |
Tx:22.37 | justify the other's sin. He sees within the other what impels him to | sin against his will. And thus he lays his sins upon the other and is |
Tx:22.37 | And so it must become impossible for each to see himself as causing | sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason sees a holy |
Tx:22.37 | for each to see himself as causing sin by his desire to have | sin real. Yet reason sees a holy relationship as what it is—a |
Tx:22.40 | And so you stand, here in this holy place, before the veil of | sin that hangs between you and the face of Christ. Let it be lifted! |
Tx:22.41 | among them, offering Christ's forgiveness to dispel their faith in | sin. |
Tx:22.46 | truth? And what would you be saved from but what you fear? Belief in | sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy |
Tx:22.46 | the Holy Spirit offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For | sin is carved into a block out of your peace and laid between you and |
Tx:22.55 | Before a holy relationship there is no | sin. The form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with |
Tx:22.61 | and easily destroyed unless his Father is? You do not see that every | sin and every condemnation which you perceive and justify is an |
Tx:23.1 | strength, and nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot fear, for | sin of any kind is weakness. The show of strength attack would use to |
Tx:23.2 | war against yourself! You will believe that everything you use for | sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And you will fight against it |
Tx:23.3 | seemed harmful now stands shining in their innocence, released from | sin and fear, and happily returned to love. They share the strength |
Tx:23.4 | Do not give up this world of freedom for a little sigh of seeming | sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's attraction. Would you, for all |
Tx:23.4 | variance with littleness of any kind. And so it is at variance with | sin. |
Tx:23.16 | holy home and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in | sin that keeps God homeless and His Son with Him. You are not |
Tx:23.17 | the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of | sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. Illusions can |
Tx:23.22 | The second law of chaos, dear indeed to every worshiper of | sin, is that each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and |
Tx:23.22 | chaos, dear indeed to every worshiper of sin, is that each one must | sin and therefore deserves attack and death. This principle, closely |
Tx:23.22 | sentence upon himself, which God Himself is powerless to overcome. | Sin cannot be remitted, being the belief the Son of God can make |
Tx:23.32 | by which the laws of God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of | sin appear to hold love captive and let sin go free. |
Tx:23.32 | Here do the laws of sin appear to hold love captive and let | sin go free. |
Tx:23.39 | From the belief in | sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it follows that it |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of | sin made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this base. |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. | Sin is impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin arose |
Tx:24.14 | made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this base. For | sin arose from it out of nothingness; an evil flower with no roots at |
Tx:24.14 | instead of Heaven and instead of peace and wrapped it carefully in | sin to keep it “safe” from truth. |
Tx:24.23 | but seeks for bargains and for compromise that would establish | sin love's substitute and serve it faithfully. And no relationship |
Tx:24.26 | as lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable” and makes it | sin. How can he then give his forgiveness wholly, when he would not |
Tx:24.27 | Whatever form of specialness you cherish, you have made | sin. Inviolate it stands, strongly defended with all your puny might |
Tx:24.27 | birthright to it, leaving him alone and unforgiven and yourself in | sin beside him, both in misery before the idol that can save you not. |
Tx:24.38 | the answer must be “no.” A sinless brother is its enemy, while | sin, if it were possible, would be its friend. Your brother's sins |
Tx:24.39 | entirely and when you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some | sin within your brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was |
Tx:24.42 | that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no | sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He is your |
Tx:24.43 | the shifting tiny gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of | sin and then go out, to lead the other to a nameless precipice and |
Tx:24.43 | upon your brother first, nor hated him before it hated you. The | sin its eyes behold in him and love to look upon, it saw in you and |
Tx:24.53 | not one law of death you bind him to will you escape. And not one | sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet will his perfect |
Tx:25.28 | just another chance to bring him joy. How can a misperception be a | sin? Let all your brother's errors be to you nothing except a chance |
Tx:25.30 | in His forgiving eyes. And therefore it need not be there in yours. | Sin is the fixed belief perception cannot change. What has been |
Tx:25.30 | what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision | sin cannot encroach, for sin has been corrected by His sight. And |
Tx:25.30 | the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, for | sin has been corrected by His sight. And thus it must have been an |
Tx:25.30 | corrected by His sight. And thus it must have been an error, not a | sin. For what it claimed could never be has been. Sin is attacked by |
Tx:25.30 | an error, not a sin. For what it claimed could never be has been. | Sin is attacked by punishment and so preserved. But to forgive it is |
Tx:25.31 | The Son of God could never | sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to |
Tx:25.31 | What could this be except a misperception of himself? Is this a | sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he need help or |
Tx:25.33 | you see it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and | sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see. |
Tx:25.34 | bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that look on | sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can come their rest. From you |
Tx:25.37 | because it has no purpose and is meaningless without the goal of | sin. Attack and sin are bound as one illusion, each the cause and aim |
Tx:25.37 | no purpose and is meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and | sin are bound as one illusion, each the cause and aim and justifier |
Tx:25.39 | confused with Christ you look upon. And hate because there is no | sin in him for you to see. Nor do you hear his plaintive call, |
Tx:25.43 | damn another. He is not an arbiter of vengeance nor a punisher of | sin. The kindness of his sight rests on himself with all the |
Tx:25.47 | It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from | sin into salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, |
Tx:25.48 | from the very instant that the choice was made. His special | sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his special |
Tx:25.50 | that you laid upon yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a | sin. Sin is the one thing in all the world that cannot change. It is |
Tx:25.50 | you laid upon yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. | Sin is the one thing in all the world that cannot change. It is |
Tx:25.50 | world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the pain of | sin from sinners and deceive with glitter and with guile. Yet each |
Tx:25.50 | deceive with glitter and with guile. Yet each one knows the cost of | sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a wish to |
Tx:25.50 | Yet each one knows the cost of sin is death. And so it is. For | sin is a request for death, a wish to make this world's foundation |
Tx:25.50 | as God Himself. The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks | sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God created |
Tx:25.53 | or is maintained by any form of reason believes this to be true. | Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This |
Tx:25.53 | Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on | sin. Who could create the changeless if it does not rest on truth? |
Tx:25.55 | is worthy of your faith. But nothing else. What is not love is | sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless. |
Tx:25.55 | wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But | sin is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes |
Tx:25.58 | he really wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the | sin he sees within the world offer him less and less— until he |
Tx:25.61 | is satisfied, for all insane beliefs can be corrected here. And | sin must be impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which |
Tx:25.64 | you. What but a little faith remains to those who still believe in | sin? What could they know of Heaven and the justice of the saved? |
Tx:25.65 | perhaps sustained by someone else but not escaped. The laws of | sin demand a victim. Who it may be makes little difference. But death |
Tx:25.66 | takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made that | sin may be preserved and kept. It is a payment offered for the cost |
Tx:25.66 | may be preserved and kept. It is a payment offered for the cost of | sin, but not the total cost. The rest is taken from another, to be |
Tx:25.67 | it is not true? It is extremely hard for those who still believe | sin meaningful to understand the Holy Spirit's justice. |
Tx:25.69 | So do they think the loss of | sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy Spirit as if He were |
Tx:25.72 | right hand and give the Son of God the power to forgive himself of | sin. |
Tx:25.74 | As specialness cares not who pays the cost of | sin, so it be paid, the Holy Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence |
Tx:25.75 | God's Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his | sin. How little need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may |
Tx:25.77 | —to perfect peace, complete deliverance from all effects of | sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as |
Tx:25.78 | not with justice? Are you willing to be released from all effects of | sin? You cannot answer this until you see all that the answer must |
Tx:25.78 | all values of this world in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not one | sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is possible will |
Tx:25.78 | And not one doubt that this is possible will you hold dear that | sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value now than |
Tx:26.6 | with him. Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your belief in | sin. You sacrifice your innocence with his and die each time you see |
Tx:26.6 | sacrifice your innocence with his and die each time you see in him a | sin deserving death. |
Tx:26.7 | Son is not imprisoned in a body nor is sacrificed in solitude to | sin. |
Tx:26.11 | in gain for anyone. If this were true, then God would be unfair, | sin would be possible, attack be justified, and vengeance fair. |
Tx:26.19 | Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is | sin denied and everything that is received instead. |
Tx:26.25 | world's equivalent of Heaven's justice. It translates the world of | sin into a simple world where justice can be reflected from beyond |
Tx:26.25 | that opens into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in | sin and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness |
Tx:26.26 | Forgiveness turns the world of | sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in |
Tx:26.26 | nothing stands between to push the other off. And in the space which | sin left vacant do they join as one, in gladness recognizing what is |
Tx:26.27 | The holy place on which you stand is but the space that | sin has left. And here you see the face of Christ arising in its |
Tx:26.27 | as He really is? Who could fear love and stand upon the ground where | sin has left a place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above |
Tx:26.27 | 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 to |
Tx:26.29 | Where | sin once was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar |
Tx:26.29 | the singing at the altar which was raised within the tiny spot that | sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was tiny then has soared into |
Tx:26.29 | the universe has joined with but a single voice. This tiny spot of | sin that stands between you still is holding back the happy opening |
Tx:26.35 | unforgiving act or thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in | sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could be made |
Tx:26.38 | time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can | sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past |
Tx:26.44 | reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All belief in | sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has |
Tx:26.47 | brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. Sickness and | sin are seen as consequence and cause in a relationship kept hidden |
Tx:26.48 | —not in truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on | sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception |
Tx:26.50 | God's answer lies where the belief in | sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly undone and |
Tx:26.52 | Sin is not error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet | |
Tx:26.52 | attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His Mind, proclaiming | sin has taken His reality from Him, and brought His love at last to |
Tx:26.53 | bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where | sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role forgiveness |
Tx:26.56 | from a Unity Which holds all things within Itself? There is no | sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the Son of God |
Tx:26.59 | Sin is belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the | |
Tx:26.59 | made real and meaningful. And from this error does the world of | sin and sacrifice arise. This world is an attempt to prove your |
Tx:26.66 | are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the world of | sin and death. For what can save each one of us can save us all. |
Tx:26.72 | he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in | sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, looking |
Tx:26.72 | here in present grace, within the only interval of time which | sin and fear have overlooked but which is all there is to time. The |
Tx:26.83 | you angels hover lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of | sin and keep the light where it has entered in. Your footprints |
Tx:27.7 | bolsters all the rest and helps them paint the picture in which | sin is justified, is sickness in whatever form it takes. |
Tx:27.9 | These are not sins, but witnesses unto the strange belief that | sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike within |
Tx:27.9 | the strange belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and | sin will end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were |
Tx:27.10 | Your function is to [prove to] your brother that | sin can have no cause. How futile must it be to see yourself a |
Tx:27.11 | Into this empty space, from which the goal of | sin has been removed, is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace |

W1:126.5 | right to let the sinner not escape the justified repayment for his | sin. Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world's salvation |

W1:134.4 | you look on pardon as deception. For it is impossible to think of | sin as true and not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness |
W1:134.4 | not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a | sin, like all the rest. It says the truth is false and smiles on the |
W1:134.5 | Pardon is no escape in such a view. It merely is a further sign that | sin is unforgivable, at best to be concealed, denied, or called |
W1:134.5 | for pardon is a treachery to truth. Guilt cannot be forgiven. If you | sin, your guilt is everlasting. Those who are forgiven from the view |
W1:134.9 | in welcome. When you feel that you are tempted to accuse someone of | sin in any form, do not allow your mind to dwell on what you think he |
W1:134.17 | you are using his “offenses” but to save the world from all ideas of | sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you thought of him, and |
W1:134.18 | Let him be freed from all the thoughts you had of | sin in him. And now you are prepared for freedom. If you have been |
W1:136.12 | What is unalterable cannot change. And what is wholly sinless cannot | sin. |
W1:137.7 | Just as forgiveness shines away all | sin and the real world will occupy the place of what you made, so |

W1:140.5 | sin is cherished. God abides in holy temples. He is barred where | sin has entered. Yet there is no place where He is not. And therefore |

W1:151.8 | judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling now to play with toys of | sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses before the rapture of His holy |
W1:151.11 | see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in | sin, and only Heaven's blessing on the world. |
W1:151.16 | the gift of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to | sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed and |
W1:153.13 | by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful world made mad by | sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has |
W1:153.13 | away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of | sin forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the |
W1:154.4 | of laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from all | sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. Now |
W1:156.1 | Today's idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of | sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being |
W1:156.6 | steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of | sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is it gone, |
W1:158.7 | pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of | sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every |
W1:158.10 | you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in | sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been |
W1:159.4 | extension here on earth as they are one in Heaven. Christ beholds no | sin in anyone, and in His sight the sinless are as one. Their |

W1:162.2 | it is. There is no dream these words will not dispel, no thought of | sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away |
W1:162.5 | acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish | sin when holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair |
W1:162.5 | grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for complete escape from | sin and guilt? |
W1:163.2 | Embodiment of fear, the host of | sin, god of the guilty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, |
W1:164.4 | have not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of | sin has never touched. All this today you will remember. Faithfulness |
W1:181.8 | we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon | sin will bring and, uncorrected, will remain. |
W1:181.10 | look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no | sin and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We |
W1:183.5 | upon the Name of God cannot mistake the nameless for the Name, nor | sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of God. |
W1:186.6 | as is the image of yourself. You are not ignorant and helpless. | Sin cannot tarnish the truth in you, and misery can come not near the |
W1:188.9 | as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of | sin, and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it as |
W1:190.11 | are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of | sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven |
W1:191.3 | legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and look on evil, | sin, and death. And watch despair snatch from your fingers every |
W1:193.3 | God offers no forgiveness, for He knows no | sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be given form in |
W1:193.9 | is revered no more. These are the words which end the dream of | sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which salvation |
W1:194.2 | anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of | sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and |
W1:194.8 | call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of | sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the world could fail |
W1:203.1 | The Name of God is my 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. |
W2:WF.1 | It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no | sin. And in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin except |
W2:WF.1 | was no sin. And in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is | sin except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its |
W2:227.2 | his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, released from | sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last. |
W2:229.2 | Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of | sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from |
W2:234.1 | Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of | sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy peace we |
W2:235.2 | me and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt or | sin in me, for there is none in You. |
W2:239.1 | us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of | sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them when He loves |
W2:247.1 | Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer. | |
W2:WIS.1 | Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the mind is driven mad and | |
W2:WIS.1 | it sees illusions where the truth should be and where it really is. | Sin gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? |
W2:WIS.3 | Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for things | |
W2:WIS.3 | are untrue. They are the “proof” that what has no reality is real. | Sin “proves” God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; |

W2:WIS.5 | How long, oh Son of God, will you maintain the game of | sin? Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How |
W2:WIS.5 | How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no | sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven |
W2:256.1 | The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If | sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have |
W2:256.1 | we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all | sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God |
W2:259.1 | Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unobtainable. | |
W2:259.1 | make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? What else but | sin engenders our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of |
W2:259.1 | more clear? What else but sin engenders our attacks? What else but | sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? |
W2:260.2 | Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know no | sin. And we who are His Sons are like each other and alike to Him. |
W2:WIC.2 | yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no | sin. |
W2:289.2 | in a present world the past has left untouched and free of | sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I made ready for Your |
W2:WIRW.4 | The real world is the symbol that the dream of | sin and guilt is over and God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes |
W2:299.2 | Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by | sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it |
W2:304.2 | You lead me from the darkness to the light, from | sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the |
W2:309.2 | step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of | sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to |
W2:WILJ.2 | no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without | sin and wholly purposeless. Without a cause and now without a |
W2:313.1 | forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no | sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception come to me |
W2:330.1 | Will of God united with its own. The Self which God created cannot | sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us choose today that He be our |
W2:WIE.3 | he lives in eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of | sin and guilt, of hatred and attack when all there is surrounding him |
W2:336.2 | In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of | sin. Then let me, Father, look within and find Your promise of my |
W2:344.2 | to God. How near is He to us. How close the ending of the dream of | sin and the redemption of the Son of God. |
W2:WAI.4 | which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of | sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of God proclaim the world |
W2:356.1 | Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of | sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to |
W2:359.1 | learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. | Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain |
W2:FL.1 | our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in | sin, which made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and |
M:I.5 | teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the world of | sin would seem forever “real.” The self-deceiving must deceive, for |
M:10.2 | judgment there is, and it is only one: “God's Son is guiltless, and | sin does not exist.” |
M:12.5 | —that what you use the body for, it will become to you. Use it for | sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as |
M:12.5 | become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as | sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful, it is weak, |
M:14.1 | in gentleness, will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all | sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, |
M:14.2 | is it nourished, for here it is needed. A gentle Savior, born where | sin was made and guilt seemed real. Here is His home, for here there |
M:14.2 | with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one thought of | sin remains, the world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked |
M:14.3 | this seems to be a long, long while away. “When not one thought of | sin remains” appears to be a long-range goal indeed. But time stands |
M:14.3 | still and waits on the goals of God's teachers. Not one thought of | sin will remain the instant any one of them accepts the Atonement for |
M:14.3 | accepts the Atonement for himself. It is not easier to forgive one | sin than to forgive all of them. The illusion of orders of difficulty |
M:14.3 | the teacher of God must learn to pass by and leave behind. One | sin perfectly forgiven by one teacher of God can make salvation |
M:17.1 | God's teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own belief in | sin and has condemned himself. He can be sure as well that he has |
M:18.4 | for the truth. And you are wrong. But a mistake is not a | sin, nor has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes. God |

Tx:20.61 | for holiness is positive, and the body is merely neutral. It is not | sinful, but neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the body |

Tx:21.41 | The Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are | sinful. Errors He will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You |
Tx:21.60 | Yet reason tells you that you cannot see your brother or yourself as | sinful and still perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself |
Tx:21.60 | upon himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a | sinful world and look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain |
Tx:22.36 | And yet his holiness is your forgiveness. Can you be saved by making | sinful the one whose holiness is your salvation? |
Tx:23.6 | will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought | sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it |
Tx:23.49 | the function to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not | sinful to believe the function of the Son is murder, but it is |
Tx:24.38 | sinlessness. All that is false proclaims his sins as real. If he is | sinful, then is your reality not real but just a dream of specialness |
Tx:24.71 | and dies. And you cannot conceive of you apart from it. You brand it | sinful, and you hate its acts, judging it evil. Yet your specialness |
Tx:27.83 | confined within a body, which it punishes because of all the | sinful things the body does within its dream. You have no power to |
Tx:29.64 | what you believe you have accomplished and have done to make you | sinful and put out the light within you. Little children, it is |
W1:36.1 | is part of God's, you must be sinless or a part of His Mind would be | sinful. Your sight is related to His holiness, not to your ego and |
W1:95.1 | as a ridiculous parody on God's creation—weak, vicious, ugly and | sinful, miserable and beset with pain. |
W1:101.2 | then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true. The | sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for |
W1:121.4 | hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it sees the | sinful everywhere. |
W1:152.6 | not. Of this you can be sure. What can He know of the ephemeral, the | sinful and the guilty, the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the |
W1:156.3 | what shares His life is part of Holiness and could no more be | sinful than the sun could choose to be of ice, the sea elect to be |
W1:191.10 | the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and | sinful when God's Son has come again at last to set it free? |
W2:263.1 | to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it could be made | sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful images. A madman's |
W2:294.2 | body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be | sinful or sinless, neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream |
W2:351.1 | Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him | sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God, alone and |
M:12.5 | sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as | sinful. Because it is sinful, it is weak, and being weak, it suffers |
M:12.5 | is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it is | sinful, it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to |
M:16.10 | through his recognition not that it is fearful, not that it is | sinful, not that it is dangerous, but merely that it is meaningless. |

Tx:25.22 | complete by offering completion to your brother. See not in him the | sinfulness he sees, but give him honor that you may esteem yourself |
Tx:25.58 | it is an alternative he really wants. From this position does his | sinfulness and all the sin he sees within the world offer him less |
Tx:31.23 | which are but ancient lessons that you taught yourself about the | sinfulness in you. Hear but his call for mercy and release from all |

Tx:15.19 | given complete release. And because of this, you have not given one | single instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you |
Tx:15.21 | specific instructions as you go along. To learn to separate out this | single second and begin to experience it as timeless, is to begin to |

Tx:20.37 | miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. No one who has a | single purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares |

Tx:26.78 | to you, that you may be forgiven all your sins and left without a | single one you cherish still? Forget not that a shadow held between |
Tx:27.23 | a different role. And so you cannot be perceived as one and, with a | single function, that would mean a shared identity with but one end. |

Tx:27.35 | had. Yet only this appears to interfere with power unlimited and | single thoughts, complete and happy, without opposite. You do not |
Tx:27.38 | for there is no answer there that could be found. Nowhere outside a | single simple question is ever asked. The world can only ask a double |
Tx:27.45 | double messages. If you wish only to be healed, you heal. Your | single purpose makes this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, |
Tx:27.46 | that all this occur. In that one instant are you healed, and in that | single instant is all healing done. |
Tx:27.59 | a little worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are but a | single sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help within |
Tx:27.79 | itself, the dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This | single lesson does it try to teach again, and still again, and yet |

Tx:27.87 | form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the | single cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you will |
Tx:27.89 | cause from all the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a | single lesson truly learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but |
Tx:30.52 | nor attacked but merely looked upon as children's toys without a | single meaning of their own. See one in them, and you will see them |
Tx:30.56 | 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 from illusions |

Tx:22.28 | purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy brother, | sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there. |
Tx:22.53 | leads to freedom. To serve this end, the body must be perceived as | sinless because the goal is sinlessness. The lack of contradiction |
Tx:22.53 | be sanctified by one another, using your bodies only to serve the | sinless. And it will be impossible for you to hate what serves what |
Tx:23.1 | sinlessness? Innocence is strength, and nothing else is strong. The | sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The show of |
Tx:23.2 | you attack as it is sure that you will love what you perceive as | sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love |
Tx:23.2 | with him there, protecting him from fear. And he will see only the | sinless, who can not attack. |
Tx:24.6 | someone incapable of being like what he condemns, “above” it, | sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness become a |
Tx:24.26 | to forgive. No one who clings to one illusion can see himself as | sinless, for he holds one error to himself as lovely still. And so he |

Tx:26.17 | and will forever be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be | sinless and beyond attack. Your special function opens wide the door |
Tx:26.26 | for nothing stands between to keep them separate and apart. The | sinless must perceive that they are one, for nothing stands between |
Tx:27.75 | Dream softly of your | sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this |
Tx:29.57 | living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, | sinless and as loving as his Father, come to hate a little while, to |
W1:36.1 | means without sin. You cannot be without sin a little. You are | sinless or not. If your mind is part of God's, you must be sinless or |
W1:36.1 | You are sinless or not. If your mind is part of God's, you must be | sinless or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related |
W1:60.6 | for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son is | sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given |
W1:95.18 | and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, | sinless as its Creator, with His strength within you and His love |

W1:154.4 | from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created | sinless. Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it and of |
W1:158.1 | you? The knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, | sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you were created out of |
W1:159.4 | one in Heaven. Christ beholds no sin in anyone, and in His sight the | sinless are as one. Their holiness was given by His Father and |
W1:181.9 | And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly | sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is |
W1:181.10 | world which once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are | sinless. And our love for everyone we look upon attests to our |
W2:223.2 | of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are | sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that |
W2:224.1 | My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, | sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt |
W2:229.2 | thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity untouched and | sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind made |
W2:WIS.1 | where it really is. Sin gave the body eyes, for what is there the | sinless would behold? What need have they of sights or sounds or |
W2:256.1 | in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created | sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him |
W2:294.2 | cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful or | sinless, neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream to help |
W2:313.1 | Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as | sinless, so that fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. |
W2:334.2 | him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother | sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus will I behold my sinlessness. |
W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of God proclaim the world as | sinless. Ours the minds which join together as we bless the world. |
W2:351.1 | is a choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my brother | sinless as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, |
W2:356.1 | it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of sin, and who is | sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your Son |
W2:359.1 | we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created | sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to |

Tx:20.32 | The sinless give as they received. See, then, the power of | sinlessness within your brother and share with him the power of the |
Tx:20.66 | really wish to see him sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his | sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:20.69 | Your brother's | sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy |
Tx:20.69 | holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his | sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of God in your |
Tx:22.53 | this end, the body must be perceived as sinless because the goal is | sinlessness. The lack of contradiction makes the soft transition from |
Tx:22.55 | with the Eternal Light you bring shines now on you. The means of | sinlessness can know no fear because they carry only love with them. |
Tx:23.1 | Do you not see the opposite of frailty and weakness is | sinlessness? Innocence is strength, and nothing else is strong. The |
Tx:24.2 | and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom | sinlessness. There is no substitute for peace. What God creates has |
Tx:24.38 | it meaning that the truth denies. All that is real proclaims his | sinlessness. All that is false proclaims his sins as real. If he is |
Tx:24.53 | sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet will his perfect | sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with |
Tx:24.54 | It is His | sinlessness that eyes which see can look upon. It is His loveliness |
Tx:25.18 | but in a frame as lovely as Itself. Its holiness lights up the | sinlessness the frame of darkness hides and casts a veil of light |
Tx:25.19 | him not, nor you who brought him forth for you to look upon. His | sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, |
Tx:25.26 | nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect | sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with instant and complete |
Tx:25.27 | Nothing remains an instant to obscure the | sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the pitiful attempts of |
Tx:25.37 | The state of | sinlessness is merely this: the whole desire to attack is gone, and |
Tx:25.41 | walk toward Heaven or toward hell, but not alone. How beautiful his | sinlessness will be when you perceive it! And how great will be your |
Tx:25.75 | special function is a call to Him that He may smile on you whose | sinlessness He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the |
Tx:25.75 | function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a witness unto his | sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you give the Holy Spirit |
Tx:26.7 | again. His holiness gives life to you, who cannot die because his | sinlessness is known to God and can no more be sacrificed by you than |
Tx:26.15 | your special function. One is given you to see in him his perfect | sinlessness. And you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could |

W1:93.6 | Your | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Over and over this must be repeated |
W1:93.6 | over this must be repeated until it is accepted. It is true. Your | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor can change |
W1:93.6 | The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your | sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and joy and peace abide |
W1:93.7 | about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly |
W1:93.9 | Light and joy and peace abide in me. My | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. |
W1:93.13 | Light and joy and peace abide in me. My | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. |
W1:93.16 | Light and joy and peace abide in you. Your | sinlessness is guaranteed by God. |
W1:94.2 | True light is strength, and strength is | sinlessness. If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and |
W1:94.2 | you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your | sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You |
W1:94.2 | the glory of the Son of God. You stand in light, strong in the | sinlessness in which you were created and in which you will remain |
W1:119.3 | I may learn how to accept the truth in me and come to recognize my | sinlessness. |
W1:131.6 | reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in | sinlessness. |
W1:151.8 | of God can only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect, everlasting | sinlessness. Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling |
W1:152.11 | in humility the radiance of God's Son, his gentleness, his perfect | sinlessness, his Father's Love, his right to Heaven and release from |
W1:153.21 | You lay aside but what was never real to look on Christ and see His | sinlessness. |
W1:161.14 | God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my perfect | sinlessness in you. |
W1:181.2 | sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in | sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure support from what you |
W1:181.2 | to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the | sinlessness that lies beyond. |
W1:181.3 | let all such little focuses give way to our great need to let our | sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we |
W1:181.5 | enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to look upon the | sinlessness within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger |
W1:181.8 | range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the vision of our | sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the |
W1:181.10 | Which knows no sin and never could conceive of anything without Its | sinlessness. We seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to |
W1:181.10 | 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 one |
W1:191.4 | free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is | sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central |
W1:193.2 | it. It is He Who answers what His Son would contradict and keeps his | sinlessness forever safe. |
W1:198.14 | is his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the Son of | Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to behold |
W2:WF.5 | Now must you share His function and forgive whom He has saved, whose | sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the Son of God. |
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 |
W2:235.1 | I need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son and keeps his | sinlessness forever perfect to be sure that I am saved and safe |
W2:235.2 | Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me and made my | sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt or sin in me, for |
W2:247.1 | come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your | sinlessness is mine. You stand forgiven, and I stand with you. |
W2:260.1 | me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my | sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would |
W2:274.1 | things be as You created them and give Your Son the honor due his | sinlessness, the love of brother to his brother and his friend. |
W2:WIHS.3 | you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you recognize your | sinlessness, you would not let His Voice appeal in vain nor turn away |
W2:313.1 | me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and look within upon my | sinlessness which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar |
W2:318.1 | which God's Son is saved because salvation's purpose is to find the | sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I |
W2:WICR.3 | of harm, of separation, imperfection, and of any spot upon its | sinlessness. |
W2:334.2 | my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus will I behold my | sinlessness. |
W2:335.1 | what I would look upon, and this I see and only this. My brother's | sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see |
W2:335.2 | What could restore Your memory to me except to see my brother's | sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me |
W2:336.2 | of sin. Then let me, Father, look within and find Your promise of my | sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind; Your |
W2:337.1 | My | sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting |
W2:337.1 | learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my | sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God's Love |
W2:337.2 | You who created me in | sinlessness are not mistaken about what I am. I was mistaken when I |
W2:341.1 | us, living one with You in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete, in | sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as |
W2:341.1 | and Fatherhood complete, in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of | Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of thought completing |
W2:341.2 | Let us not then attack our | sinlessness. For it contains the Word of God to us, and in its kind |
W2:348.1 | when Your eternal promise goes with me? Surrounding me is perfect | sinlessness. What can I fear when You created me in holiness as |
W2:WAI.1 | God Himself. I am the Heaven where His love resides. I am His holy | sinlessness itself, for in my purity abides His own. |
W2:351.1 | my brother sinless as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my | sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my |
W2:352.1 | Forgiveness looks on | sinlessness alone and judges not. Through this I come to You. |
W2:357.1 | the way to You as You appointed that the way shall be: “Behold his | sinlessness, and be you healed.” |
W2:360.1 | and in holiness do we remain. Your Son is like to You in perfect | sinlessness, and with this thought we gladly say “Amen.” |

M:28.4 | we, God's children, rise up from the dust and look upon our perfect | sinlessness. The song of Heaven sounds around the world, as it is |

Tx:19.103 | stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is! You thought He | sinned because you cast the veil of sin upon Him to hide His |

Tx:25.68 | of fear comes over them when they are told that they have never | sinned. Their world depends on sin's stability. And they perceive the |
Tx:27.6 | that he beholds in you. Here is the proof that he has never | sinned—that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever done or |
Tx:28.35 | of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you never | sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you |
Tx:30.40 | to the source of the belief that you are incomplete. Only if you had | sinned could this be so. For sin is the idea you are alone and |
Tx:30.72 | It pardons “sinners” sometimes but remains aware that they have | sinned. And so they do not merit the forgiveness that it gives. |
W1:94.5 | Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never | sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self which |

Tx:24.16 | convince them they are different and apart—each in his special | sins and “safe” from love, which does not see his specialness at all. |
Tx:24.17 | And all the world he made and all his specialness and all the | sins he held in its defense against himself will vanish as his mind |
Tx:24.18 | remember this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all the | sins you think you placed between him and the function of salvation |

Tx:25.86 | The little problems that you keep and hide become your secret | sins because you did not choose to let them be removed for you. And |
Tx:26.8 | the world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his | sins reality and sacrifice his Father's Will for him? |
Tx:26.54 | Sins are beliefs which you impose between your brother and yourself. | |
Tx:26.78 | for him who carries Christ to you, that you may be forgiven all your | sins and left without a single one you cherish still? Forget not that |

W1:133.11 | to believe that sins are but mistakes, for who would suffer for his | sins if this were so? |

W1:134.5 | guilt is everlasting. Those who are forgiven from the view their | sins are real are pitifully mocked and twice condemned—first by |
W1:137.5 | of truth but not in truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all | sins that never were accomplished, healing but removes illusions that |
W1:151.9 | whispers of the ego can He hear? What could convince Him that your | sins are real? |
W1:158.9 | Thus are his | sins forgiven him, for Christ has vision which has power to overlook |
W1:158.10 | If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your | sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother whom you meet today |
W1:161.12 | now conceals from you the sight of one who can forgive you all your | sins, whose sacred hands can take the nails which pierce your own |
W1:164.3 | to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all your seeming | sins forgot and all your sorrows unremembered. On this day is grief |
W1:181.1 | of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming | sins as well as yours. |
W1:181.2 | the one you held before. Remove your focus on your brother's | sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in |
W1:181.2 | its only sure support from what you see in others past their | sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in |
W1:181.2 | past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to | sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the |
W1:181.5 | this goal if anger blocks our way in any form. And if a brother's | sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn |
W1:181.10 | The world which once proclaimed our | sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone |

W1:192.10 | is as God created him. And you are what he is. Forgive him now his | sins, and you will see that you are one with him. |
W1:195.8 | some things and yet retain some other things still locked away as | sins. When your forgiveness is complete, you will have total |
W1:197.6 | you has been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness take away the | sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the |
W2:WF.1 | thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon | sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in this view |
W2:WF.1 | them real. It sees there was no sin. And in this view are all your | sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about God's Son? |
W2:278.1 | the laws the world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the | sins which I perceive are real and cannot be escaped. If I am bound |

Tx:2.79 | cases, the will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a | situation in which you are doing what you do not will. This arouses a |
Tx:2.87 | loveless, having willed without love. This is precisely the | situation for which the Atonement was offered. The need for the |
Tx:3.66 | himself, projects his delusion onto others, and then perceives the | situation as one in which people are literally fighting him for his |
Tx:4.12 | You can because of the nature of yours. Egos can clash in any | situation, but Souls cannot clash at all. If you perceive a teacher |
Tx:4.14 | dispute this, everything you do will be fearful, particularly any | situation which lends itself to the “superiority-inferiority” |
Tx:4.80 | to heal him and yourselves. Be always unwilling to adapt to any | situation in which miracle-mindedness is unthinkable. That state in |
Tx:4.83 | you associate yourself with the ego, you do not perceive the whole | situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego any |
Tx:4.105 | much on behalf of your own rehabilitation and that of others if in a | situation calling for healing you think of it this way: |
Tx:5.12 | Transfer depends on common elements in the old learning and the new | situation to which it is transferred. Perception is not knowledge, |
Tx:5.64 | regard sin as a lack you will automatically attempt to remedy the | situation. And you will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but |
Tx:5.87 | necessary to keep his fear in tolerable bounds as he perceived the | situation. Therefore, he emphasized that the point in development at |
Tx:6.52 | remember, however, that when you put yourselves in an impossible | situation, you believed that the impossible was possible. |
Tx:6.53 | kindest solution possible to what you have made. In an impossible | situation, you can develop your abilities to the point where they can |
Tx:6.54 | You are in an impossible | situation only because you thought it was possible to be in one. You |
Tx:6.54 | thought it was possible to be in one. You would be in an impossible | situation if God showed you your perfection and proved to you that |
Tx:7.25 | you always,” I meant it literally. I am not absent to anyone in any | situation. Because I am always with you, you are the way and the |
Tx:8.60 | he must become depressed. Being faced with an impossible learning | situation, regardless of why it is impossible, is the most depressing |
Tx:8.92 | of which you are totally unaware. You have set this strange | situation up so that it is completely impossible to escape from it |
Tx:9.12 | By following it, you will merely place yourself in an impossible | situation to which the ego always leads you. The ego's plan is to |
Tx:9.25 | ego is involved, it always attempts to gain some support from the | situation. Seeking to get something for himself, the unhealed healer |
Tx:9.28 | is the only therapist. He makes healing perfectly clear in any | situation in which he is the Guide. The human therapist can only let |
Tx:9.29 | is a guide to behavior. Being a very direct and very simple learning | situation, it provides the Guide who tells you what to do. If you do |
Tx:11.43 | and regarding yourself as weaker, you attempt to “equalize” the | situation you have made. You use attack to do so because you believe |
Tx:11.44 | you are still strong. You therefore have no need to “equalize” the | situation to establish your strength. |
Tx:11.47 | your resource because, of yourself, you cannot learn. The learning | situation in which you placed yourself is impossible, and in this |
Tx:11.47 | situation in which you placed yourself is impossible, and in this | situation you clearly require a special Teacher and a special |
Tx:11.51 | But it is not so yet and will not be so until the whole learning | situation as you have set it up is reversed. |
Tx:11.61 | miracles when you have applied them to all situations. There is no | situation to which miracles do not apply, and by applying them to all |
Tx:16.3 | and do not lose sight of it, however tempted you may be to judge any | situation and to determine your response by judging it. Focus your |
Tx:17.47 | grows increasingly beneficent and joyous. But at the beginning, the | situation is experienced as very precarious. A relationship |
Tx:17.53 | upon a campaign to blame each other for the discomfort of the | situation in which you find yourselves. And by this lack of thanks |
Tx:17.57 | There are certain very specific guidelines He provides for any | situation, but remember that you do not yet realize their universal |
Tx:17.57 | Therefore it is essential at this point to use them in each | situation separately, until you can more safely look beyond each |
Tx:17.57 | situation separately, until you can more safely look beyond each | situation in an understanding far broader than you now possess. |
Tx:17.58 | In any | situation in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, |
Tx:17.58 | determine the outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed. The | situation becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be |
Tx:17.59 | Without a clear cut positive goal, set at the outset, the | situation just seems to happen and makes no sense until it has |
Tx:17.60 | advance what you want to happen is simply that you will perceive the | situation as a means to make it happen. You will therefore make every |
Tx:17.60 | the goal. The false becomes the useless from this point of view. The | situation now has meaning, but only because the goal has made it |
Tx:17.61 | The goal of truth has further practical advantages. If the | situation is used for truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace. |
Tx:17.61 | the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the | situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the |
Tx:17.61 | the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the | situation is as the goal determines it and is experienced according |
Tx:17.62 | goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the | situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone |
Tx:17.62 | “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not perceive the | situation as a whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off segments of |
Tx:17.62 | as a whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off segments of the | situation and deal with them separately, for it has faith in |
Tx:17.63 | Confronted with any aspect of the | situation which seems to be difficult, the ego will attempt to take |
Tx:17.63 | it rightfully belonged. Thus do you lose the understanding of the | situation the goal of truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring |
Tx:17.64 | The substitutes for aspects of the | situation are the witnesses to your lack of faith. They demonstrate |
Tx:17.64 | lack of faith. They demonstrate that you did not believe that the | situation and the problem were in the same place. The problem was the |
Tx:17.64 | the faith it could be solved, the problem would be gone. And the | situation would have been meaningful to you because the interference |
Tx:17.65 | There is no problem in any | situation that faith will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect |
Tx:17.65 | must be where something has been done and where you see it done. A | situation is a relationship, being the joining of thoughts. If |
Tx:17.66 | intrusion on the relationship, an error in your thoughts about the | situation, which then becomes the justification for your lack of |
Tx:17.67 | Only what you have not given can be lacking in any | situation. But remember this: the goal of holiness was set for your |
Tx:17.67 | for you will see that peace and faith will not come separately. What | situation can you be in without faith and remain faithful to each |
Tx:17.68 | Every | situation in which you find yourself is but a means to meet the |
Tx:17.69 | you lack faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his part in any | situation dedicated in advance to truth, your dedication is divided. |
Tx:17.71 | but there is a Cause for faith. That Cause has entered any | situation which shares Its purpose. The light of truth shines from |
Tx:17.71 | shares Its purpose. The light of truth shines from the center of the | situation and touches everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. |
Tx:17.71 | the situation's purpose calls. It calls to everyone. There is no | situation which does not involve your whole relationship in every |
Tx:17.71 | part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it and keep the | situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your whole relationship |
Tx:17.72 | Enter each | situation with the faith that you give to each other, or you are |
Tx:17.72 | yours for His, the goal He placed there was extended to every | situation in which you enter or will ever enter. And every situation |
Tx:17.72 | to every situation in which you enter or will ever enter. And every | situation was thus made free of the past, which would have made it |
Tx:17.73 | You call for faith because of Him Who walks with you in every | situation. You are no longer wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For |
Tx:17.74 | nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of what every | situation is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy Spirit's purpose |
Tx:17.74 | which the Holy Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to every | situation. It calls forth just the same suspension of faithlessness, |
Tx:17.74 | demonstration of the meaning of every relationship and every | situation, seen as a whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the |
Tx:17.74 | situation, seen as a whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the | situation, and faithlessness has not forced any exclusion on it. It |
Tx:17.74 | and faithlessness has not forced any exclusion on it. It is a | situation of perfect peace simply because you have let it be what it |
Tx:17.75 | not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every | situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for |
Tx:17.76 | Would you not want to make a holy instant of every | situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever |
Tx:17.78 | to you. His salvation is your only purpose. See only this in every | situation, and it will be a means for bringing only this. |

Tx:19.2 | Every | situation properly perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the Son |
Tx:19.88 | When anything seems to you to be a source of fear, when any | situation strikes you with terror and makes your body tremble and the |
Tx:20.71 | it is you who need his strength. There is no problem, no event or | situation, no perplexity that vision will not solve. All is redeemed |
Tx:21.17 | not his choice. His power of decision is the determiner of every | situation in which he seems to find himself by chance or accident. No |
Tx:22.52 | meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve illusions. This is a | situation so contradictory and so impossible that anyone who chooses |
Tx:25.28 | chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then will he see each | situation that he thought before was means to justify his anger |
Tx:26.11 | suffer loss and make a sacrifice that you might gain. And when the | situation is worked out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because |
Tx:29.52 | is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a place, a | situation or a circumstance, an object owned or wanted, or a right |
Tx:30.82 | upon the world as with one purpose, changelessly established. And no | situation can affect its aim but must be in accord with it. For only |
Tx:30.82 | be in accord with it. For only if its aim could change with every | situation could each one be open to interpretation which is different |
Tx:31.26 | that it becomes your first response to all temptation and to every | situation that occurs. Learn this and learn it well, for it is here |

W1:24.1 | In no | situation which arises do you realize the outcome that would make you |
W1:24.1 | the result. What you do is determined by your perception of the | situation, and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that |
W1:24.1 | serve your own best interests. Yet they are your only goal in any | situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you will not |
W1:24.5 | Name each | situation that occurs to you, and enumerate carefully as many goals |
W1:24.6 | In the | situation involving _____, I would like _____ to happen, and _____ to |
W1:24.7 | if some of them do not appear to you to be directly related to the | situation or even to be inherent in it at all. |
W1:24.8 | recognize that you are making a large number of demands of the | situation which have nothing to do with it. You will also recognize |
W1:24.8 | disappointment in connection with some of your goals however the | situation turns out. |
W1:24.9 | the list of as many hoped-for goals as possible for each unresolved | situation that crosses your mind, say to yourself: |
W1:24.10 | I do not perceive my own best interests in this | situation, |
W1:26.7 | First, name the | situation: |
W1:26.11 | have some five or six distressing possibilities available for each | situation you use and quite possibly more. It is much more helpful to |
W1:26.12 | As the list of anticipated outcomes for each | situation continues, you will probably find some of them, especially |
W1:32.6 | The idea for today should also be applied immediately to any | situation which may distress you. Apply the idea by telling yourself: |
W1:32.7 | I have invented this | situation as I see it. |
W1:33.3 | of today's idea should also be made immediately when any | situation arises which tempts you to become disturbed. For these |
W1:34.6 | I could see peace in this | situation instead of what I now see in it. |
W1:34.8 | feelings of depression, anxiety or worry [or my thoughts about this | situation, personality, or event] with peace. |
W1:35.8 | and events in which you figure cross your mind. Pick up any specific | situation that occurs to you, identify the descriptive term or terms |
W1:35.8 | or terms which you feel are applicable to your reactions to that | situation, and use them in applying today's idea. After you have |
W1:38.4 | you see it. Try to make as little distinction as possible between a | situation that is difficult for you and one that is difficult for |
W1:38.4 | for you and one that is difficult for someone else. Identify the | situation specifically and also the name of the person concerned. Use |
W1:38.5 | In the | situation involving ______ in which I see myself, there is nothing |
W1:38.5 | I see myself, there is nothing that my holiness cannot do. In the | situation involving ______ in which _____ sees himself, there is |
W1:47.6 | related to your own sense of inadequacy. It is obvious that any | situation that causes you concern is associated with feelings of |
W1:47.6 | since otherwise you would believe that you could deal with the | situation successfully. It is not by trusting yourself that you will |
W1:48.2 | possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any time and in any | situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that you take a |

W1:61.7 | for a short while, preferably with your eyes closed if the | situation permits. Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat |
W1:71.4 | and in other things. Another person will yet serve better; another | situation will yet offer success. |
W1:74.9 | very specifically, identify the particular person or persons and the | situation or situations involved, and tell yourself: |
W1:77.9 | Ask for them whenever a | situation arises in which they are called for. You will recognize |
W1:79.1 | because you cannot recognize that it has been solved. This is the | situation of the world. The problem of separation, which is really |
W1:79.5 | with such varied content that they confront you with an impossible | situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them. |
W1:93.15 | If a | situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the |
W2:292.1 | outcome of all problems we perceive, all trials we see, and every | situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God's Will is |
M:I.2 | It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words alone. Any | situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are and |
M:I.3 | believe the relationship of others is to you. In the formal teaching | situation, these questions may be totally unrelated to what you think |
M:I.3 | you are teaching. Yet it is impossible not to use the content of any | situation on behalf of what you really teach and therefore learn. To |

M:2.5 | When pupil and teacher come together, a teaching-learning | situation begins. For the teacher is not really the one who does the |
M:2.5 | send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning | situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. |
M:3.1 | teachers of God have no set teaching level. Each teaching-learning | situation involves a different relationship at the beginning, |
M:3.2 | Each of them has the potential for becoming a teaching-learning | situation. Perhaps the seeming strangers in the elevator will smile |

Tx:11.59 | of learning.] As you perceive more and more common elements in all | situations, the transfer of your training under the Holy Spirit's |

Tx:8.82 | not the dead, because rest comes from waking, not from sleeping. | Sleep is withdrawing; waking is joining. Dreams are illusions of |
Tx:8.82 | sleeping under its guidance. Yet the Holy Spirit, too, has use for | sleep and can use dreams on behalf of waking if you will let Him. |
Tx:8.83 | How you wake is the sign of how you have used | sleep. To whom did you give it? Under which teacher did you place it? |

Tx:12.57 | And yet the laws of love are not suspended because you | sleep. And you have followed them through all your nightmares and |

Tx:24.6 | calls for judgment, and this must come from someone “better,” | someone incapable of being like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless |
Tx:25.60 | The whole belief that | someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must be insane. |
Tx:25.60 | tenet, “Sin is real and rules the world”? For every little gain must | someone lose and pay exact amount in blood and suffering. For |
Tx:25.65 | sinners see justice only as their punishment, perhaps sustained by | someone else but not escaped. The laws of sin demand a victim. Who it |
Tx:25.66 | keep and not give up. So is the victim seen as partly you, with | someone else by far the greater part. And in the total cost, the |
Tx:25.83 | an attack of any kind. What order can there be in miracles, unless | someone deserves to suffer more and others less? And is this justice |
Tx:26.11 | each one, regardless of the form it seems to take, is a demand that | someone suffer loss and make a sacrifice that you might gain. And |
Tx:26.87 | belief you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by | someone not yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the |
Tx:26.88 | an innocence which is not Theirs but yours alone and at the cost of | someone else's guilt. Can innocence be purchased by the giving of |
Tx:26.88 | guilt. Can innocence be purchased by the giving of your guilt to | someone else? And is this innocence which your attack on him attempts |
Tx:26.88 | Whatever way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. | Someone must lose his innocence that someone else can take it from |
Tx:26.88 | is played, there must be loss. Someone must lose his innocence that | someone else can take it from him, making it his own. |
Tx:27.23 | a mind so split, must be a way to punish sins you think are yours in | someone else. And thus does he become your victim, not your brother, |
Tx:27.44 | denies himself? The Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to | someone else. Yet by your listening, His Voice extends because you |
Tx:27.69 | from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of | someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did |
Tx:28.18 | a dream in which you were an alien to yourself and but a part of | someone else's dream. |
Tx:28.43 | not, for what is joined in Him is always one. No one is sick if | someone else accepts his union with him. His desire to be a sick and |
Tx:28.43 | cannot remain without a witness or a cause. And both are gone if | someone wills to be united with him. He has dream[ed] that he was |
Tx:29.21 | be savior from the dream he made, that he be free of it. He must see | someone else as not a body, one with him, without the wall the world |
Tx:29.27 | unfulfilled as you perceive the function. It can be in you or | someone else, but where it is perceived, it will be there it is |
Tx:29.28 | When you are angry, is it not because | someone has failed to fill the function you allotted him? And does |
Tx:29.68 | it thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is being dreamed by | someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard which everyone |
Tx:31.3 | not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and even you are | someone else. |
Tx:31.54 | chose your brother be, alternatives were there to choose among, and | someone must have first decided on the one to choose and let the |
Tx:31.71 | yourself because it was not made for you alone. Born as a gift for | someone not perceived to be yourself, it has been given you. For your |
W1:25.4 | you do understand that a telephone is for the purpose of talking to | someone who is not physically in your immediate vicinity. What you do |
W1:37.2 | thinking. Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of | someone or something. As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor will |
W1:38.3 | or suffering in any form that you happen to think of in yourself or | someone else. We will make no distinctions because there are no |
W1:38.4 | a situation that is difficult for you and one that is difficult for | someone else. Identify the situation specifically and also the name |
W1:38.9 | in its original form unless a specific problem concerning you or | someone else arises or comes to mind. In that event, use the more |
W1:43.12 | in which you find yourself during the day. When you are with | someone else, for example, try to remember to tell him silently, |
W1:71.2 | salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that if | someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external |
W1:78.5 | for your grievances and lay the grievances aside and look at him. | Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you think you love |
W1:78.5 | aside and look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; | someone you think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, |
W1:78.5 | you fear and even hate; someone you think you love who angers you; | someone you call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at times or |
W1:93.15 | these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with | someone, tell him silently: |
W1:95.20 | idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you do so, | someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his |
W1:97.6 | will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each time | someone accepts them as his thoughts and uses them to heal. |
W1:121.10 | Begin the longer practice periods by thinking of | someone you do not like, who seems to irritate you or to cause regret |
W1:126.4 | when it is withheld. The sin which you forgive is not your own. | Someone apart from you committed it. And if you then are gracious |
W1:126.6 | perceive it. It is not a means for your release from what you see in | someone other than yourself. It has no power to restore your unity |
W1:133.8 | Next, if you choose to take a thing away from | someone else, you will have nothing left. This is because when you |
W1:134.9 | open wide in welcome. When you feel that you are tempted to accuse | someone of sin in any form, do not allow your mind to dwell on what |
W1:193.11 | How can you tell when you are seeing wrong or | someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does |
W2:315.1 | conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. | Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind perceives |
M:I.2 | to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give to | someone else, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a |
M:1.1 | choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from | someone else's. Once he has done that, his road is established and |
M:1.3 | heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has seen | someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own salvation and |

Tx:2.30 | you choose, but note that the concept itself implies flight from | something. Flight from error is perfectly appropriate. |
Tx:2.57 | be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body, in which | something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief. |
Tx:2.72 | You believe that “being afraid” is involuntary, | something beyond your control. Yet I have told you several times that |
Tx:2.77 | to yourself because the part of the will that wants to do | something else is outraged. |
Tx:2.87 | in a position where you need Atonement, because you have done | something loveless, having willed without love. This is precisely the |
Tx:2.88 | “Don't give it a thought,” you imply that if you do not think about | something, it will have no effect on you. And this is true enough. |
Tx:3.46 | ability to perceive made the body possible because you must perceive | something and with something. This is why perception involves an |
Tx:3.46 | made the body possible because you must perceive something and with | something. This is why perception involves an exchange or |
Tx:3.52 | words “create” and “make” have been greatly confused. When you make | something, you make it out of a sense of lack or need. Anything that |
Tx:3.52 | a specific purpose and has no true generalizability. When you make | something to fill a perceived lack, which is obviously why you would |
Tx:3.54 | and not a product of [knowing]. Images are symbolic and stand for | something else. The current emphasis on “changing your image” merely |
Tx:3.56 | Prayer is a way of asking for | something. Prayer is the medium of miracles, but the only meaningful |
Tx:3.56 | is nothing more than a request that we may be able to recognize | something we already have. In electing to perceive instead of to |
Tx:3.69 | the power of God, but you have lost it. Fortunately, when you lose | something, it does not mean that the “something” has gone. It merely |
Tx:4.26 | Surprise is a reasonable response to the unfamiliar but hardly to | something that has occurred with such persistence. I am using your |
Tx:4.26 | recognize that it need not work that way. Why are you surprised that | something happened in the dim past when it is so clearly happening |
Tx:4.27 | is because they regard them as part of themselves. No one disowns | something he regards as a very real part of himself. Man reacts to |
Tx:4.30 | then, you give only because you believe that you are somehow getting | something better so that you can do without the thing you give. |
Tx:4.41 | it is not understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if | something outside is inside, and this does not mean anything. The |
Tx:4.59 | always arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of | something you want and do not have. Know you are deprived of nothing |
Tx:4.73 | it does not mean that you should seek blindly and desperately for | something you would not recognize. Meaningful seeking is consciously |
Tx:4.85 | from the illusions you have made, your great debt to each other is | something you must never forget. It is exactly the same debt that you |
Tx:4.92 | How can you teach someone the value of | something he has deliberately thrown away? He must have thrown it |
Tx:5.10 | as the Healer, the Comforter, and the Guide. He is also described as | something “separate,” apart from the Father and from the Son. I |
Tx:6.28 | both of yourself and your brothers. The process begins by excluding | something [you think] exists in you which you do not want and leads |
Tx:6.41 | You are only love, but when you denied this, you made what you are | something you must learn. We said before that the message of the |
Tx:6.48 | ego feels badly in need of allies though not of brothers. Perceiving | something alien to itself in your mind, the ego turns to the body, |
Tx:6.86 | is still a lesson in thought reversal since it implies that there is | something you must be vigilant against. It has advanced far from the |
Tx:7.6 | and the temporary into the timeless. He can therefore tell you | something about this last step, although this one you must know |
Tx:7.13 | of others. “Interpersonal” has a similar error in that it refers to | something that exists among different or separate people. When we |
Tx:7.20 | subject would not do anything. Given variable motivation, he will do | something, but you cannot understand what it is. |
Tx:7.26 | teach. Yet you are always teaching. You must therefore be teaching | something else as well, even though the ego does not know what it is. |
Tx:7.34 | Perceived improperly, it induces a perception of conflict with | something else, as all incorrect perception does. Properly perceived, |
Tx:7.42 | healer that everyone else does not share with him. Magic always sees | something “special” in the healer which he believes he can offer as a |
Tx:7.42 | is quite evident that he does not understand God if he thinks he has | something that others [do not]. You might well ask, then, why some |
Tx:7.43 | to help. He is conflicted and unstable, but at times he is offering | something to the Sonship, and the only thing the Sonship can accept |
Tx:7.47 | he is not grateful to them. This is because he thinks he is giving | something to them and is not receiving something equally desirable in |
Tx:7.47 | he thinks he is giving something to them and is not receiving | something equally desirable in return. His teaching is limited, |
Tx:7.50 | away. It literally believes that every time it deprives someone of | something, it has increased. We have spoken often of the increase of |
Tx:7.54 | perceive it as fragmented. It is impossible, however, for you to see | something in part of it that you will not attribute to all of it. |
Tx:7.61 | only reason you find this difficult is because you think there is | something else. Belief does not require vigilance unless it is |
Tx:7.61 | had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you believe | something, you have made it true for you. |
Tx:7.67 | that you have not judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you want | something else, you will make something else, but because it is |
Tx:7.67 | as wholly desirable. If you want something else, you will make | something else, but because it is something else, it will attack your |
Tx:7.67 | want something else, you will make something else, but because it is | something else, it will attack your thought system and divide your |
Tx:7.78 | attack unless you perceived it as a means of depriving you of | something you want. Yet you cannot lose anything unless you did not |
Tx:7.82 | of God. To the ego, the law is perceived as a way of getting rid of | something it does not want. To the Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental |
Tx:7.85 | his confusion. A second fallacy is the idea that you can get rid of | something you do not want by giving it away. Giving it is how you |
Tx:8.35 | do not see it, because they prefer the delusion. Judging truth as | something they do not want, they perceive deception and block |
Tx:8.36 | on yours. Alone we can do nothing, but together our wills fuse into | something whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. |
Tx:8.53 | You are accepting it simply by the belief that attack can get you | something you want. If you did not believe this, the idea of attack |
Tx:8.71 | ceasing, so that you will continue to hope that it can yet offer you | something. |
Tx:8.78 | You might well ask how the voice of | something which does not exist can be so insistent. Have you |
Tx:8.78 | so insistent. Have you seriously considered the distorting power of | something you want, even if it is not true? You have had many |
Tx:8.92 | this kind of association means is that you are arbitrarily endowing | something quite beyond your awareness with something you do not want. |
Tx:8.92 | are arbitrarily endowing something quite beyond your awareness with | something you do not want. It is evident, then, that you are judging |
Tx:8.92 | something you do not want. It is evident, then, that you are judging | something of which you are totally unaware. You have set this strange |
Tx:8.98 | His task is not to make anything for you.] He cannot make you want | something you do not want. When you ask the Universal Giver for what |
Tx:8.107 | Everyone who has ever tried to use prayer to request | something has experienced what appears to be failure. This is not |
Tx:9.14 | we once said that miracles are natural, and when they do not occur, | something has gone wrong. |
Tx:9.25 | attempts to gain some support from the situation. Seeking to get | something for himself, the unhealed healer does not know how to give |
Tx:9.31 | joy even though you are not experiencing joy yourself, there must be | something in you that is capable of producing it. If it is in you and |
Tx:9.54 | true. When grandeur slips away from you, you have replaced it with | something you have made. Perhaps it is the belief in littleness; |
Tx:9.68 | Unless you know | something, you cannot dissociate it. Knowledge therefore precedes |
Tx:9.71 | precludes the acceptance of God's gift, because you have accepted | something else in its place. If you understand that the misuse of |
Tx:9.73 | You make it only because you still believe that it can get you | something you want. It follows, then, that you want something other |
Tx:9.73 | it can get you something you want. It follows, then, that you want | something other than peace of mind, but you have not considered what |
Tx:10.41 | terms which makes it meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the power to do | something, and the whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that |
Tx:10.71 | goodness entirely, for that you could not accept, but it always adds | something that is not real to the real, thus confusing illusion and |
Tx:11.4 | is not perfectly clear. If you maintain that an appeal for help is | something else, you will react to something else, and your response |
Tx:11.4 | that an appeal for help is something else, you will react to | something else, and your response will be inappropriate to reality as |
Tx:11.25 | Suppose a brother insists on having you do | something you think you do not want to do. The very fact of his |
Tx:11.27 | Recognize what does not matter, and if your brothers ask you for | something “outrageous,” do it because it does not matter. Refuse and |
Tx:11.50 | for that is your will. But you do not realize even yet that there is | something you do will to learn, and that you can learn it because it |
Tx:11.53 | no gain in the world, for of itself it profits nothing. To invest in | something without profit is surely to impoverish yourself, and the |
Tx:11.70 | because you have looked within and thought you saw the power to give | something else within yourself. It was only this decision that |
Tx:11.71 | you really looked upon it. If you are afraid, it is because you saw | something that is not there. Yet in that same place, you could have |
Tx:11.79 | perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because you are looking at | something else. Yet it is no more up to you to decide what is visible |
Tx:12.5 | to kill yourself by not knowing who you are and identifying with | something else. You have projected guilt blindly and |
Tx:12.11 | not believe that, without the ego, you would find within yourself | something you fear even more. You are not afraid of crucifixion. Your |
Tx:14.26 | It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a belief in | something that does not exist. It is only this belief that the |
Tx:14.48 | grasp is the lack of order of difficulty which stamps the miracle as | something that must come from elsewhere, not from here. From the |
Tx:14.53 | Otherwise, it will attack the form. You who believe you understand | something of the dynamics of the mind, let me assure you that you |
Tx:15.63 | with all that ever was. Yet as long as you prefer to be | something else, or would attempt to be nothing else and something |
Tx:15.63 | prefer to be something else, or would attempt to be nothing else and | something else together, the language of communication, which you |
Tx:15.65 | embarks is special. The ego establishes relationships only to get | something. And it would keep the giver bound to itself through guilt. |
Tx:15.71 | of what you do. For each one thinks that he has sacrificed | something to the other and hates him for it. Yet this is what he |
Tx:16.11 | to accomplish what you do not understand. And so there must be | something in you that does understand. |
Tx:16.31 | love play out a conflict which does not exist. For symbols stand for | something else, and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is |
Tx:16.70 | partner without the past? Every such choice is made because of | something “evil” in the past to which you cling and for which must |
Tx:17.65 | you have removed yourself from the solution? Yet faith must be where | something has been done and where you see it done. A situation is a |
Tx:17.68 | but a means to meet the purpose set for your relationship. See it as | something else, and you are faithless. Use not your faithlessness. |
Tx:17.77 | is not so. Before, the strain was there but you attributed it to | something else, believing that the “something else” produced it. This |
Tx:18.10 | joined in truth that only God is there. And He would never accept | something else instead of you. He loves you both, equally and as one. |
Tx:18.50 | What else is there to give? The belief that you could give and get | something else, something outside yourself, has cost you the |
Tx:18.50 | to give? The belief that you could give and get something else, | something outside yourself, has cost you the awareness of Heaven and |
Tx:18.59 | it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a joining of yourself and | something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It |
Tx:18.59 | accepted this instead of the body and have let yourself be one with | something beyond it simply by not letting your mind be limited by it. |
Tx:18.60 | in size and seeming quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with | something past, present, or anticipated. The “something” can be |
Tx:18.71 | as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals, | something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a body |
Tx:18.94 | still further inward but the one you cannot take, transports you to | something completely different. Here is the Source of light—nothing |
Tx:19.88 | nor symbol should be confused with source, for they must stand for | something other than themselves. Their meaning cannot lie in them but |
Tx:20.67 | through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for | something else. Open the holy place which you closed off by valuing |
Tx:20.77 | holiness God gave His Son. And never need you think that there is | something else for you to see. |
Tx:21.22 | gifts belong. Where they should be, you have set up your idols to | something else. This other will, which seems to tell you what must |
Tx:21.45 | the ego that joined the Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be | something else. Think not that this is madness. For this your reason |
Tx:21.58 | Does not your reason tell you now the question must have come from | something that you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and |
Tx:21.73 | great enemy which always eludes its murderous attack by turning into | something else. How treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes |
Tx:21.88 | you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of | something he believes holds out some promise of the power of giving |
Tx:22.7 | what happened. Denying what you are and firm in faith that you are | something else, this “something else” which you have made to be |
Tx:23.54 | change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can offer | something that you can win. Can it be anything that offers you a |
Tx:23.55 | For everything fought for on the battleground is of the body— | something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has |
Tx:24.40 | you wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for | something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely |
Tx:25.38 | your Self your “enemy.” And now you must believe you are not you but | something alien to yourself and “something else,” a “something” to be |
Tx:25.52 | you make. Do not attempt to see it differently nor twist it into | something it is not. For only this decision can you make. The rest is |
Tx:25.54 | has the power to change the whole foundation of the world you see to | something else—a basis not insane on which a sane perception can be |
Tx:25.70 | they think that justice is split off from love and stands for | something else. |
Tx:26.3 | For sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and | something still remains for you alone. And for this little to belong |
Tx:27.10 | is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into | something it is not. It only takes away from it all signs of |
Tx:27.29 | to be itself. No weakness can intrude on it without changing it into | something it is not. To weaken is to limit and impose an opposite |
Tx:27.29 | the concept which it attacks. And by this does it join to the idea a | something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can understand a |
Tx:27.30 | interfere with the awareness of reality is the belief that there is | something there. |
Tx:27.41 | An honest question is a learning tool which asks for | something that you do not know. It does not set conditions for |
Tx:27.42 | an answer which is not entailed within the question asked. It offers | something new and different from the question. How could it be |
Tx:27.62 | the attack against himself, he sees himself attacked unjustly and by | something not himself. He is the victim of this “something else,” a |
Tx:27.68 | their reality does not depend on him. Whatever cause they have is | something quite apart from him, and what he sees is separate from his |
Tx:28.2 | it can be used to serve another purpose and to be the means for | something else. It can be used to heal and not to hurt if you so wish |
Tx:28.3 | at all. It is a recognition that you have no needs which mean that | something must be done. It is an unselective memory, which is not |
Tx:28.60 | gap, would be a lack. And it is only there that he could want for | something he has not. A space where God is not, a gap between the |
Tx:29.18 | recognized. And so it seems to be a thing with power in itself. As | something, it can be perceived and thought to feel and act and hold |
Tx:29.26 | they all are made. Their form can change, but they cannot be made of | something else. The miracle were treacherous indeed if it allowed you |
Tx:29.29 | appear to change, but what they mean has changed because they cover | something else. Perceptions are determined by their purpose in that |
Tx:29.44 | have hope, some lingering illusion, or some dream that there is | something outside of himself that will bring happiness and peace to |
Tx:29.44 | by his coming, he denies the truth about himself and seeks for | something more than everything, as if a part of it were separated off |
Tx:29.44 | himself complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly about in search of | something that he cannot find, believing that he is what he is not. |
Tx:29.55 | yet a thought without the power to change one blade of grass from | something living to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere, for its |
Tx:29.59 | more wealth, or even more affliction and more pain. But more of | something is an idol for. And when one fails, another takes its place |
Tx:29.59 | when one fails, another takes its place with hope of finding more of | something else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An |
Tx:29.67 | betray. It is a dream in which no one is used to substitute for | something else nor interposed between the thoughts the mind conceives |
Tx:29.67 | the thoughts the mind conceives and what it sees. No one is used for | something he is not, for childish things have all been put away. And |
Tx:30.11 | 3. Remember once again the day you want and recognize that | something has occurred which is not part of it. Then realize that you |
Tx:30.20 | and reminds you that help is not being thrust upon you but is | something that you want and that you need, because you do not like |
Tx:30.82 | write for every minute in the day, and all that happens now means | something else. You take away another element, and every meaning |
Tx:31.50 | can it be unlearned except by lessons aimed to teach that you are | something else. For otherwise you would be asked to make exchange of |
Tx:31.52 | by your brother, who was there to make the other? And from whom must | something be kept hidden? If the world be evil, there is still no |
Tx:31.55 | this step has gains, it does not yet approach a basic question. | Something must have gone before these concepts of the self. And |

Tx:7.108 | Grace is the natural state of every | Son of God. When he is not in a state of grace, he is out of his |

Tx:9.34 | you see it everywhere. You can know yourself only as God knows His | Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you will |
Tx:9.35 | it will be known by its creations, who witness to its reality as the | Son does to the Father. |
Tx:9.76 | and God has only one channel for healing, because He has but one | Son. His remaining communication link with all His Children joins |
Tx:9.76 | that no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a | Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer. |
Tx:9.77 | Do not side with sickness in the presence of a | Son of God even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in |
Tx:9.77 | of his wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To believe a | Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created |
Tx:9.78 | thinks he is. And that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a | Son of God; a sick god, self-created, self-sufficient, very vicious, |
Tx:9.79 | because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of Him. God's | Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this world |

Tx:9.96 | Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's | Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was |
Tx:9.96 | the Mind of God's Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His | Son think he was fatherless, and out of his depression, he made the |
Tx:9.96 | fact that, although he was a creator, he had been created. Yet the | Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his help. We said |
Tx:9.97 | who are unlike your Creator any more than He could have created a | Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot create what |
Tx:9.98 | Son of God, you have not sinned, but you have been much mistaken. Yet | |

Tx:9.100 | are of God. Would He allow Himself to suffer? And would He offer His | Son anything that is not acceptable to Him? |
Tx:9.102 | Yet He would not interfere with you, because He would not know His | Son if he were not free. To interfere with you would be to attack |
Tx:9.102 | you have Him share your insanity? God will never cease to love His | Son, and His Son will never cease to love Him. That was the condition |

Tx:9.103 | of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son. His | Son removed himself from His gift by refusing to accept what had been |
Tx:9.103 | for his return, for it was created as the dwelling place of God's | Son. You are not at home anywhere else or in any other condition. Do |
Tx:9.104 | take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God created His | Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to learn of his |
Tx:9.105 | as His. Yet the real Fatherhood must be acknowledged if the real | Son is to be known. You believe that the sick things which you have |
Tx:10.2 | conflict, because the ego was made out of the wish of God's | Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing more than a delusional |
Tx:10.5 | by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His | Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part |

Tx:10.23 | could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's Will for His | Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His peace |
Tx:10.23 | blind, it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the | Son of God, and the Son of God is you. |
Tx:10.23 | see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the | Son of God is you. |
Tx:10.24 | God's | Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, |
Tx:10.26 | with you on the way. But the dark journey is not the way of God's | Son. Walk in light, and do not see the dark companions, for they are |
Tx:10.26 | not see the dark companions, for they are not fit companions for the | Son of God, who was created of light and in light. The Great Light |
Tx:10.27 | God hides nothing from His | Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God |
Tx:10.27 | God hides nothing from His Son, even though His | Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for |
Tx:10.27 | from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the | Son of God cannot hide his glory, for God wills him to be glorious |
Tx:10.28 | by the dark comforters, and never let them enter the Mind of God's | Son, for they have no place in His temple. When you are tempted to |
Tx:10.30 | cannot understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the | Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his Father. In |
Tx:10.30 | with Him because it is your will not to be alone. God blessed His | Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you will be in eternity. |
Tx:10.32 | you try to make God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the | Son deny the Father without believing that the Father has denied him? |
Tx:10.33 | That is the law of God for the protection of the wholeness of His | Son. |
Tx:10.35 | as blaming others. You cannot enter God's Presence if you attack His | Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he will |
Tx:10.35 | You cannot enter God's Presence if you attack His Son. When His | Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice |
Tx:10.35 | Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised without His | Son, for their glory is shared, and they are glorified together. |
Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His | Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will |
Tx:10.36 | God is my life and yours, and nothing is denied by God to His | Son. |
Tx:10.37 | Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His | Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the |
Tx:10.37 | as Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His | Son. Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself and of His |
Tx:10.37 | of Him as yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For Christ is the | Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His glory. Christ |
Tx:10.38 | Blessed is the | Son of God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills |
Tx:10.38 | as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the | Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect |
Tx:10.38 | in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the | Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know |
Tx:10.38 | belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father or the | Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the whole Sonship |
Tx:10.52 | by fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's | Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, |
Tx:10.56 | straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has denied His | Son. |
Tx:10.57 | Would you remember the Father? Accept His | Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son |
Tx:10.57 | His Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His | Son is unworthy, for nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you |
Tx:10.57 | for nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you see of His | Son through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His Son does |
Tx:10.57 | of His Son through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His | Son does not exist, yet where the Son is, the Father must be. Accept |
Tx:10.57 | ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the | Son is, the Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He |
Tx:10.57 | He created. Their silence is the sign that they have beheld God's | Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for |
Tx:10.61 | what you see by narrow little beliefs which are unworthy of God's | Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will see |
Tx:10.61 | are unworthy of God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the | Son of God will see himself as fatherless. |
Tx:10.62 | is now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's | Son as His Father created him. |
Tx:10.63 | Do not underestimate the power of the devotion of God's | Son nor the power of the god he worships over him. For he places |
Tx:10.63 | In his name they crucify themselves, believing that the power of the | Son of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection |
Tx:10.64 | God. And you can accept it by His grace, for God is gracious to His | Son, accepting him without question as His own. Who, then, is your |
Tx:10.65 | find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of God's | Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God |
Tx:10.65 | the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His | Son, whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died |
Tx:10.65 | that I live in you. For the undoing of the crucifixion of God's | Son is the work of the redemption, in which everyone has a part of |
Tx:10.65 | everyone has a part of equal value. God does not judge His blameless | Son. Having given Himself to him, how could it be otherwise? |
Tx:10.66 | a crown of thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's | Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from |
Tx:10.66 | you cannot crucify God's Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His | Son has been redeemed from his own crucifixion, and you cannot assign |
Tx:10.66 | but what you see in dreams is not reality. While you perceive the | Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you believe |
Tx:10.68 | God's | Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you will |
Tx:10.70 | Every loving thought that the | Son of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in |
Tx:10.82 | yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His | Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being. |
Tx:10.83 | Sons have nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any | Son of God, and you have asked it of me. No one of us but has the |
Tx:10.83 | in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's | Son and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His |
Tx:10.84 | him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the | Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father, whose every |
Tx:10.84 | of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in God's | Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And being deceived |
Tx:10.86 | as we live together and love together. Be not deceived in God's | Son, for he is one with himself and one with his Father. Love him who |
Tx:10.87 | offends you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God's | Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense |
Tx:10.87 | God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's | Son against himself and perceive no one but through His guidance, for |
Tx:10.87 | power and use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the | Son of God in whom He is not deceived. |
Tx:11.15 | to obscure the light, it has none, for it has power only because the | Son of God gave power to it. He must himself withdraw that power, |
Tx:11.30 | If only the loving thoughts of God's | Son are the world's reality, the real world must be in his mind. His |
Tx:11.32 | that God so loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten | Son. God does love the real world, and those who perceive its reality |
Tx:11.35 | you will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His | Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in |
Tx:11.39 | He sets before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's | Son, whom He loves with the love of the Father. |
Tx:11.52 | your will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's | Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is. |
Tx:11.54 | forget your worth. For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His | Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in |
Tx:11.54 | ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His | Son of the Father. God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to |
Tx:11.57 | The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every | Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He |
Tx:11.57 | vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the | Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He |
Tx:11.57 | world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His | Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment |
Tx:11.57 | Him your Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His | Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will |
Tx:11.57 | to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the | Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name. |
Tx:11.60 | of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's | Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit |
Tx:11.60 | so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit of God's | Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. Very |
Tx:11.60 | God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His | Son. The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. |
Tx:11.77 | Do you really believe that you can kill the | Son of God? The Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and |
Tx:11.77 | believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His | Son safely within Himself and kept him far away from your destructive |
Tx:11.77 | your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the Father nor the | Son because of them. You attack the real world every day and every |
Tx:11.78 | God's | Son is as safe as his Father, for the Son knows his Father's |
Tx:11.78 | God's Son is as safe as his Father, for the | Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. His Father's love |
Tx:11.81 | look upon what you have made of it and rejoice that it is not so. | Son of God, be not content with nothing! What is not real cannot be |
Tx:11.81 | 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 were |
Tx:11.81 | value. God could not offer His Son what has no value, nor could His | Son receive it. You were redeemed the instant you thought you had |
Tx:11.82 | you have tried to interpose between your awareness and truth. God's | Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit looks |
Tx:11.84 | back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His | Son. |
Tx:11.86 | The acceptance of guilt into the Mind of God's | Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of the |
Tx:11.88 | This world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's | Son. And until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this |
Tx:11.88 | of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you realize that God's | Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you will |
Tx:11.88 | will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's | Son is not guilty. He deserves only love because he has given only |
Tx:11.89 | Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His | Son, He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember |
Tx:11.89 | from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of God's | Son. |
Tx:11.90 | In this strange world which you have made, the | Son of God has sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him |
Tx:11.90 | was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and God's | Son is without guilt. As you look upon yourselves and judge what you |
Tx:11.91 | the past behind you and will disappear. As long as you believe the | Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, believing that |
Tx:11.92 | The journey which the | Son of God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on |
Tx:11.92 | sets him is one of release and joy. The Father is not cruel, and His | Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees |
Tx:11.92 | He is with you. He has always undone everything unworthy of the | Son of God, for such was His mission, given Him by God. And what God |
Tx:11.93 | You will see me as you learn the | Son of God is guiltless. He has always sought his guiltlessness, and |
Tx:11.93 | it is only a matter of time, and time is but an illusion. For the | Son of God is guiltless now, and the brightness of his purity shines |
Tx:11.93 | of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind. God's | Son will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him |
Tx:11.94 | for yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in God's | Son. And only as you look upon him as guiltless can you understand |
Tx:11.94 | only yourself, and by so doing, you cannot know that you are God's | Son. You have denied the condition of his Being, which is his perfect |
Tx:11.95 | will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The | Son of God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his Father for you. |
Tx:11.95 | travel on and no time to travel through. For God waits not for His | Son in time, being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has |
Tx:11.95 | be without him. And so it has always been. Let the holiness of God's | Son shine away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by |
Tx:11.97 | a sense of need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the | Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His |
Tx:11.97 | Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His | Son and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and |
Tx:11.97 | of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His | Son, and being guiltless, he is eternal. |
Tx:11.99 | recognition that it has never been. As He looks upon the guiltless | Son of God, he knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot |
Tx:11.99 | guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are saved because God's | Son is guiltless. And being wholly pure, you are invulnerable. |
Tx:12.2 | you have failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing the | Son of God by seeing him as guilty. Believing you are no longer you, |
Tx:12.3 | and secret place is the realization that you have betrayed God's | Son by condemning him to death. You do not even suspect this |
Tx:12.3 | urge is so intense that nothing short of the crucifixion of God's | Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of God is |
Tx:12.3 | of God's Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the | Son of God is because it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness |
Tx:12.5 | of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified God's | Son. You have not admitted to this “terrible” secret because you |
Tx:12.6 | the ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of God's | Son, it did attempt to kill him, and the reason it gave was that |
Tx:12.9 | the remembrance of your Father, for you will remember His guiltless | Son, who did not die because he is immortal. And you will see that |
Tx:12.9 | on your homecoming, and the joy will be yours. For the redeemed | son of man is the guiltless Son of God, and to recognize him is your |
Tx:12.9 | the joy will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless | Son of God, and to recognize him is your redemption. |
Tx:12.12 | would be willing to look even upon your savage wish to kill God's | Son if you did not believe that it saves you from love. For this wish |
Tx:12.16 | you offer it can heal it, for here is the real crucifixion of God's | Son. |
Tx:12.18 | welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's | Son, and no illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he is. |
Tx:12.20 | to Him, and you could not ask this of a Father Who truly loved His | Son. Therefore you made of Him an unloving father, demanding of Him |
Tx:12.20 | of Him what only such a father could give. And the peace of God's | Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his Father. He feared |
Tx:12.21 | except by departing in peace and returning to the Father? If the | Son did not wish to remain in peace, he could not remain at all. For |
Tx:12.40 | us in gladness, and gladness is what we should offer Him. For every | Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to |
Tx:12.43 | His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless | Son within you, shining in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by |
Tx:12.44 | alone, for He is no more alone than they are. Because they saw the | Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this will they |
Tx:12.47 | condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which obscures God's | Son to you is the past, and if you would have it past and gone, you |
Tx:12.52 | continuity, unbroken because it is wholly shared. God's guiltless | Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is |
Tx:12.52 | to the Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from God's | Son is the witness that his light is of his Father. |
Tx:12.53 | in His clear answer to your call. For it can never be that His | Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His call to you is but |
Tx:12.55 | it. And here will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy | Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy. |
Tx:12.57 | name He has given for you and given you the gifts He gave. God's | Son is still as loving as his Father. Continuous with his Father, he |
Tx:12.65 | It is God's Will that nothing touch His | Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as |
Tx:12.66 | past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it now. God loves His | Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real |
Tx:12.66 | and you can understand it now. God loves His Son forever, and His | Son returns his Father's love forever. The real world is the way that |
Tx:12.66 | But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of God unto His | Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it God created you as one |
Tx:12.67 | Praise, then, the Father for the perfect sanity of His most holy | Son. |
Tx:12.71 | for His sight is ever on the journey's end which is His goal. God's | Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his |
Tx:12.76 | The sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy | Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in time is needed, for joy cannot |
Tx:12.76 | part of you that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the | Son of God give thanks unto his Father for his purity. |
Tx:13.4 | Apart from the Father and the | Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, |
Tx:13.5 | 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 the whole. |
Tx:13.6 | Reality of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy | Son, created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision |
Tx:13.7 | Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered the | Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy |
Tx:13.8 | of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's | Son will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one |
Tx:13.10 | for reality is witnessed to as one. God waits your witness to His | Son and to Himself. The miracles you do on earth are lifted up to |
Tx:13.10 | Heaven, God will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved | Son outside them and beyond Himself. |
Tx:13.11 | only thing that hides the Father, for guilt is the attack upon His | Son. The guilty always condemn, and having done so, they will |
Tx:13.14 | has become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the | Son of God is guiltless because you see the past and see him not. |
Tx:13.15 | him that he is right in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless | Son of God can attack himself and make himself guilty is insane. In |
Tx:13.16 | unto yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the | Son of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have |
Tx:13.16 | true for you. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the | Son of God in part. Those whom you see as guilty become the witnesses |
Tx:13.27 | heal and teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The | Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world |
Tx:13.29 | as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always loved His | Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is |
Tx:13.29 | and as surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His | son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is guiltless. You |
Tx:13.29 | He would show you the perfect purity that is forever within God's | Son. |
Tx:13.31 | Behold the | Son of God and look upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon |
Tx:13.32 | guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy | Son, whom You have created guiltless forever. |
Tx:13.34 | Praise be unto you who make the Father one with His own | Son. Alone we are all lowly, but together we shine with brightness so |
Tx:13.36 | God would not have His | Son embattled, and so His Son's imagined “enemy,” which he made, is |
Tx:13.39 | mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear | Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail. |
Tx:13.43 | even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping | Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God |
Tx:13.44 | Can God's | Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad |
Tx:13.51 | you made would be forever dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's | Son projects have all the power that he gives to them. The thoughts |
Tx:13.63 | simple truth. For there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His | Son is in Him with everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when |
Tx:13.66 | gently, but with the conviction born of the love of God and of His | Son, |
Tx:13.67 | by making it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring peace to God's | Son from his Father. |
Tx:13.70 | No penalty is ever asked of God's | Son except by himself and of himself. Every chance given him to heal |
Tx:13.70 | of light. The joy of learning that darkness has no power over the | Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have |
Tx:13.71 | is also his. There is nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the | Son of God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and being without |
Tx:13.72 | the Cause of God as yours. The power that God has given to His | Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or choose to look upon |
Tx:13.72 | power that God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His | Son see or choose to look upon without imposing on himself the |
Tx:13.73 | decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's | Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is |
Tx:13.76 | of yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value of His | Son? Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of |
Tx:13.77 | “enemy,” and against this strange distortion of the purity of the | Son of God, the Holy Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong |
Tx:13.79 | Seek not to appraise the worth of God's | Son, whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and |
Tx:13.79 | you. For it is quite impossible that He could ever let His | Son drop from His loving mind wherein he was created and where his |
Tx:13.86 | is offered first to be received, even as God gave it first to His | Son. The first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is |
Tx:13.90 | Fail not yourself, but instead offer to God and you His blameless | Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God will |
Tx:13.91 | the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not the | Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up |
Tx:14.1 | Him, though He is all around you. He cannot be known without His | Son, whose guiltlessness is the condition for knowing Him. Accepting |
Tx:14.1 | whose guiltlessness is the condition for knowing Him. Accepting His | Son as guilty is denial of the Father so complete that knowledge is |
Tx:14.3 | Heaven to itself. Atonement teaches you the true condition of the | Son of God. It does not teach you what you are or what your Father |
Tx:14.5 | of you to you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His | Son as the Son is blessed in Him. |
Tx:14.5 | you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son as the | Son is blessed in Him. |
Tx:14.6 | but the message given to each to share is always the same—God's | Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently and learns |
Tx:14.7 | Blessed | Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can |
Tx:14.8 | The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right of God's | Son, given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or |
Tx:14.8 | hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of guilt within which the | Son of God has hidden himself from his own sight. We are all joined |
Tx:14.8 | away and full communication be restored between the Father and the | Son. |
Tx:14.12 | excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His | Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to |
Tx:14.13 | the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His | Son as He created him by teaching him his innocence. |
Tx:14.23 | chambers in God's temple. Its gates are open wide to greet His | Son. No one can fail to come where God has called him if he close not |
Tx:14.32 | the glory God gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless | Son. All this lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt |
Tx:14.33 | promise given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your Father and His | Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And nothing brought |
Tx:14.33 | altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His | Son. And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but |
Tx:14.33 | but will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to | Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His |
Tx:14.33 | 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 offered to the |
Tx:14.34 | not in division, but in the meeting place where God, united with His | Son, speaks to His Son through Him. Communication between what cannot |
Tx:14.34 | in the meeting place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His | Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot |
Tx:14.34 | cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His | Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the |
Tx:14.34 | interference in the communication that God Himself wills with His | Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows |
Tx:14.34 | and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the Father and the | Son, as both would have it be. And so it is. |
Tx:14.35 | appointed for you. He will surely lead you to where God and His | Son await your recognition. They are joined in giving you the gift of |
Tx:14.36 | are joined the Father and His creations, and the creations of His | Son with them together. There is one link which joins them all |
Tx:14.37 | God, and only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the | Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is |
Tx:14.47 | its reflection here, its truth becomes the only perception the | Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his Father dawns on him, |
Tx:14.57 | you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His | Son forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love |
Tx:14.57 | wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His | Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His |
Tx:14.57 | power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer to His | Son. How, then, can there be any order of difficulty among them? |
Tx:14.59 | to it forever. For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the | Son of God, a lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest |
Tx:14.59 | could even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His | Son, given all power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you |
Tx:14.61 | glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His | Son. |
Tx:14.63 | peace means but one thing: you think you do not will for God's | Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in |
Tx:14.63 | accept and hide, teaches you that you will with the Father unto His | Son. |
Tx:14.67 | which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you. God's | Son can make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him |
Tx:14.67 | meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He cannot compel His | Son to turn to Him and remain Himself. It is impossible that God lose |
Tx:14.67 | The miracle acknowledges His changelessness by seeing His | Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle |
Tx:14.71 | God's | Son will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do |
Tx:14.71 | as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is His | Son, and through His Teacher does God proclaim His Oneness and His |
Tx:15.9 | the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the | Son of God emerges from the past into the present. And the present |
Tx:15.15 | in time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which God's | Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is beyond time, for |
Tx:15.17 | Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach God's holy | Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His teaching is |
Tx:15.19 | you. And you will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A | Son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a |
Tx:15.26 | of God will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear | Son. Search for the little, and you deny yourself His power. God is |
Tx:15.26 | little, and you deny yourself His power. God is not willing that His | Son be content with less than everything. For He is not content |
Tx:15.26 | content with less than everything. For He is not content without His | Son, and His Son cannot be content with less than his Father has |
Tx:15.26 | less than everything. For He is not content without His Son, and His | Son cannot be content with less than his Father has given him. We |
Tx:15.27 | not left Him. All your attempts to deny His magnitude and make His | Son hostage to the ego cannot make little whom God has joined with |
Tx:15.33 | release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the | Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one forget what you |
Tx:15.46 | yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and his | Son and thus to attack reality. |
Tx:15.57 | gift to you. In the holy instant, we share our faith in God's | Son because we recognize together that he is wholly worthy of it, and |
Tx:15.61 | The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the | Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is |
Tx:15.62 | holy instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the | Son of God share equally, and by this recognition you will join with |
Tx:15.65 | obscured by it is the powerful attraction of the Father for His | Son. There is no other love that can satisfy you, because there is no |
Tx:15.69 | It is this chain that binds the | Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would |
Tx:15.80 | all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is. God's | Son has such great need of your willingness to strive for this that |
Tx:15.80 | conceive of need so great. Behold the only need that God and His | Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The |
Tx:15.81 | leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of God's | Son is the loneliness of his Father. Refuse not the awareness of your |
Tx:15.90 | and limited, for you have attempted to separate the Father from the | Son and limit their communication. Seek not Atonement in further |
Tx:15.90 | Atonement in further separation. And limit not your vision of God's | Son to what interferes with his release and what the Holy Spirit must |
Tx:15.92 | your power in time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the | Son. For in this world, the attraction of guilt does stand between |
Tx:15.93 | of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon the | Son of God, and his unlimited power is thus restored to him. What |
Tx:16.38 | and perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of God and of His | Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of |
Tx:16.38 | to accept completion, and only this, there is God completed and His | Son with Him. |
Tx:16.59 | cannot be natural, for it is unlike the relationship of God and His | Son, and all relationships that are unlike this one must be |
Tx:16.77 | that you receive it not, because He gave it. When He willed that His | Son be free, His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder |
Tx:16.77 | it not, because He gave it. When He willed that His Son be free, His | Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son will |
Tx:16.77 | free, His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His | Son will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy |
Tx:16.81 | Love. Let us not wander into temptation, for the temptation of the | Son of God is not Your will. And let us receive only what you have |
Tx:17.1 | The betrayal of the | Son of God lies only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own |
Tx:17.7 | of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the | Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to |
Tx:17.9 | of your forgiveness on it. And with this final blessing of God's | Son upon himself, the real perception, born of the new perspective he |
Tx:17.11 | lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not even what the | Son of God made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty |
Tx:17.12 | of grass a sign of God's perfection. From the forgiven world, the | Son of God is lifted easily into his home. And there he knows that he |
Tx:17.14 | make immortal are “enemies” of reality. Be willing to forgive the | Son of God for what he did not do. The shadow figures are the |
Tx:17.22 | spark before you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's | Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart. |
Tx:17.78 | Such was the crucifixion of the | Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully before |
Tx:18.29 | your relationship, you have joined with me in bringing Heaven to the | Son of God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing to bring the |
Tx:18.49 | from Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling-place of the | Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him. |
Tx:18.52 | does not condemn it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the | Son of God has made and using it to save him from illusions. |
Tx:18.54 | that has no meaning, proclaiming it to be the dwelling-place of the | Son of God and turning it against him. |
Tx:18.55 | host of God that you have made. And neither God nor His most holy | Son can enter an abode which harbors hate and where you have sown the |
Tx:18.57 | from you]. It is not there. There is no barrier between God and His | Son, nor can His Son be separated from himself except in illusions. |
Tx:18.57 | not there. There is no barrier between God and His Son, nor can His | Son be separated from himself except in illusions. This is not his |
Tx:18.57 | had to create differently and to have separated Himself from His | Son to make this possible. He would have had to create different |
Tx:18.81 | straight into Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole in vain. No | Son of God remains outside His Fatherhood. |
Tx:18.84 | thought needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the | Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set |
Tx:18.85 | by hate. Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the | Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think |
Tx:18.93 | evil thought you had laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the | Son of God, and you are welcome. Here is your innocence, waiting to |
Tx:19.2 | Every situation properly perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the | Son of God. And he is healed because you offered faith to him, giving |
Tx:19.5 | unite and heal.] Faithlessness would interpose illusions between the | Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that |
Tx:19.11 | of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a | Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him like you and therefore |
Tx:19.12 | through Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the | Son of God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the |
Tx:19.12 | him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the | Son of God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid |
Tx:19.12 | 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 Father as to |
Tx:19.16 | think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His | Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. |
Tx:19.18 | that attack is real and guilt is justified. It assumes the | Son of God is guilty and has thus succeeded in losing his innocence |
Tx:19.19 | The | Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn |
Tx:19.20 | holiness. And it is this doctrine which replaces the reality of the | Son of God as his Father created him and willed that he be forever. |
Tx:19.23 | than the idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the | Son of God has made himself to be and what he is. To the ego, this is |
Tx:19.28 | and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the | Son of God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you |
Tx:19.33 | will which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His | Son a will apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's |
Tx:19.39 | and lay them gently before His Creator in the name of His most holy | Son. And the Father will accept them in His Name. What need is there |
Tx:19.40 | you. If you would make it homeless, how can it abide within the | Son of God? If it would spread across the whole creation, it must |
Tx:19.56 | through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the | Son of God was killed instead of you. |
Tx:19.63 | of clay, to be your home. In your holy relationship is your Father's | Son. He has not lost communion with Him nor with himself. When you |
Tx:19.65 | other as you would look on me. Forgive me all the sins you think the | Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he will |
Tx:19.66 | there together in the quiet communion in which the Father and the | Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union of the Father |
Tx:19.66 | are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union of the Father and | Son in you! And keep you not apart from what is offered you in |
Tx:19.68 | be extended if you would have its limitless power and use it for the | Son of God's release. It is not this you would be rid of, and having |
Tx:19.76 | medium, receiving from the Father and offering His messages unto the | Son. Like the ego, the Holy Spirit is both the sender and the |
Tx:19.81 | who looks upon it as himself. You who believe you have condemned the | Son of God to this are arrogant. But you who would release him are |
Tx:19.85 | Under the dusty edge of its distorted world, the ego would lay the | Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself |
Tx:19.90 | surmount a final obstacle after which is salvation completed and the | Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your world does end. |
Tx:19.107 | So will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of God's | Son and let him rise again to glad remembrance of his Father, Who |
Tx:19.108 | 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 created him |
Tx:19.110 | so strong that it would lift you far beyond the veil and place the | Son of God safely within the sure protection of his Father. Here is |
Tx:20.1 | Let us not spend this holy week brooding on the crucifixion of God's | Son, but happily in the celebration of his release. For Easter is the |
Tx:20.1 | Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the | Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon himself |
Tx:20.2 | begins with palms and ends with lilies, the white and holy sign the | Son of God is innocent. Let no dark sign of crucifixion intervene |
Tx:20.2 | we celebrate life, not death. And we honor the perfect purity of the | Son of God and not his sins. Offer each other the gift of lilies, not |
Tx:20.3 | short, and yet this holy week is the symbol of the whole journey the | Son of God has undertaken. He started with the sign of victory the |
Tx:20.7 | and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on the | Son of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom |
Tx:20.8 | I have great need for lilies, for the | Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I offer him forgiveness when |
Tx:20.8 | his friend for me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the | Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen |
Tx:20.11 | give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The | Son of God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and |
Tx:20.11 | upon this final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails to crucify the | Son of God and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is on the |
Tx:20.12 | There is no fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the | Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not |
Tx:20.14 | to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad awareness that the | Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened to the present. |
Tx:20.22 | that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to make the | Son of God adjust to his insanity. There is a stranger in him who |
Tx:20.23 | all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the | Son of God?” |
Tx:20.24 | How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to bless the | Son of God and give him thanks for all the happiness which he held |
Tx:20.27 | The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God within His | Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And where else |
Tx:20.27 | and the pure in heart see God within His Son and look unto the | Son to lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but |
Tx:20.27 | now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His | Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of God's |
Tx:20.33 | a new world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the | Son of God can enter without fear, and where he rests a while to |
Tx:20.36 | contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a | Son of God? |
Tx:20.37 | In this world, God's | Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins |
Tx:20.37 | anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of God's | Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time |
Tx:20.38 | your holy relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the | Son of God together. You give to one another for everyone, and in |
Tx:20.44 | you in love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the | Son of God and shares his Father's certainty the universe rests in |
Tx:20.45 | The meaning of the | Son of God lies solely in his relationship with his Creator. If it |
Tx:20.45 | is nothing else. And this is wholly loving and forever. Yet has the | Son of God invented an unholy relationship between him and his |
Tx:20.54 | The holy relationship reflects the true relationship the | Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests |
Tx:20.55 | bereft of water and set uncertainly upon oblivion. Here does the | Son of God stop briefly by to offer his devotion to death's idols, |
Tx:20.69 | is his desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the | Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of |
Tx:20.70 | do you think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's | Son? Why would you rather look on it than on the truth? How can the |
Tx:20.77 | an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His | Son. And never need you think that there is something else for you to |
Tx:21.2 | world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the | Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to |
Tx:21.11 | This is the vision of the | Son of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows |
Tx:21.11 | will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the | Son of God sings to his Father still. |
Tx:21.12 | the memory of this song. And they will look upon the vision of the | Son of God, remembering who he is they sing of. What is a miracle but |
Tx:21.17 | It is impossible the | Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is |
Tx:21.20 | is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to the | Son of God without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator, |
Tx:21.21 | This is the | Son of God's replacement for his will, a mad revolt against what must |
Tx:21.25 | of your desire to create your own Creator and be father and not | son to Him. This is the same desire. The Son is the effect, whose |
Tx:21.25 | and be father and not son to Him. This is the same desire. The | Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be |
Tx:21.26 | you made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing | Son and Father, effect and Source. |
Tx:21.27 | The Son's creations are like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the | Son does not delude himself that he is independent of his Source. His |
Tx:21.31 | is indeed a little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the | Son of God in chains as long as he believes he is in chains. And when |
Tx:21.33 | It is impossible that the | Son of God lack faith, but he can choose where he would have it be. |
Tx:21.33 | Faith given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the | Son of God believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to |
Tx:21.53 | your will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the | Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God wills |
Tx:21.61 | No one can think but for himself, as God thinks not without His | Son. Only were both in bodies could this be. Nor could one mind think |
Tx:21.64 | If you choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the | Son of God to what can never be corrected. You tell him by your |
Tx:21.65 | reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the | Son of God is given you because he must be one with you. You are |
Tx:21.68 | The | Son of God is always blessed as one. And as his gratitude goes out to |
Tx:21.69 | The power that you have over the | Son of God is not a threat to his reality. It but attests to it. |
Tx:21.69 | but himself if he deny his freedom? God is not mocked; no more His | Son can be imprisoned save by his own desire. And it is by his own |
Tx:21.70 | that they are little could see attraction there. Treachery to the | Son of God is the defense of those who do not identify with him. And |
Tx:21.71 | No one believes the | Son of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless |
Tx:21.71 | who see themselves as helpless must believe that they are not the | Son of God. What can they be except his enemy? And what can they do |
Tx:21.71 | and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the | Son of God will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness |
Tx:21.84 | can be given only those who wish for constancy. The power of the | Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who sees |
Tx:22.4 | becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the | Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never end. |
Tx:22.13 | Be certain God did not entrust His | Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of |
Tx:22.24 | we have seen many times before. Only if it were possible the | Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself different, and |
Tx:22.25 | and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would believe His | Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what you made is |
Tx:22.61 | Who can attack the | Son of God and not attack his Father? How can God's Son be weak and |
Tx:22.61 | can attack the Son of God and not attack his Father? How can God's | Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed unless his Father is? You |
Tx:22.61 | see that this is your attempt because you think the Father and the | Son are separate. And you must think that they are separate because |
Tx:22.62 | be possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole, the | Son without the Father, and to attack another without yourself or |
Tx:22.64 | relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His | Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in |
Tx:23.5 | Let us not let littleness lead God's | Son into temptation. His glory is beyond it, measureless and timeless |
Tx:23.10 | all unknown. He loves you perfectly, completely, and eternally. The | Son of God at war with his Creator is a condition as ridiculous as |
Tx:23.11 | is kept apart. The war against yourself was undertaken to teach the | Son of God that he is not himself and not his Father's Son. For this, |
Tx:23.11 | to teach the Son of God that he is not himself and not his Father's | Son. For this, the memory of his Father must be forgotten. It is |
Tx:23.16 | away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His | Son with Him. You are not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your |
Tx:23.22 | powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the belief the | Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction becomes |
Tx:23.23 | what this seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the | Son. Now it appears that they can never be one again. For one must |
Tx:23.23 | is one of opposition, just as the separate aspects of the | Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One becomes weak, the |
Tx:23.23 | God and of each other now appears as sensible, made real by what the | Son of God has done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on |
Tx:23.24 | about the truth of what has been established for His belief. His | Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether to take his |
Tx:23.25 | it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the | Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and justified in |
Tx:23.26 | outcome. And God Himself seems to be siding with it to overcome His | Son. Think not the ego will enable you to find escape from what it |
Tx:23.33 | appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the | Son of God for fear and death! |
Tx:23.48 | from one another. So will they be to those who see God's | Son a body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's Creator. |
Tx:23.48 | that is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the | Son of Life. How can a body be extended to hold the universe? Can it |
Tx:23.49 | His function with a body. He gave the function to create unto His | Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the function |
Tx:23.49 | it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the function of the | Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no |
Tx:23.49 | and what is His must be His Son's as well. Either the Father and the | Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death, creating like |
Tx:23.50 | the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His | Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not complete as yet, and |
Tx:23.52 | you, and no illusion can attack the peace of God together with His | Son. |
Tx:23.53 | The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His | Son because it has no purpose. |
Tx:24.1 | God does not wait upon illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His | Son. They are. And what illusion that idly seems to drift between |
Tx:24.5 | reality of God's creation and with the grandeur which He gave His | Son. What else could justify attack? For who could hate someone whose |
Tx:24.14 | the “creator” who creates unlike the Father and which made His | Son like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are |
Tx:24.17 | The shining radiance of the | Son of God—so like his Father that the memory of Him springs |
Tx:24.17 | memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And with this memory, the | Son remembers his own creations, as like to him as he is to his |
Tx:24.19 | that he may return it unto you. It is not God Who has condemned His | Son. But only you, to save his specialness and kill his Self. |
Tx:24.21 | would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His | Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not |
Tx:24.21 | it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His | Son be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but |
Tx:24.24 | seem possible God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His | Son from Him. For it demands a special place God cannot enter and a |
Tx:24.29 | Without foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His | Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is |
Tx:24.29 | left His Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His | Son is safe, resting on Him. It is your specialness that is attacked |
Tx:24.31 | of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect | Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you |
Tx:24.33 | of specialness will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His | Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you |
Tx:24.33 | that he holds out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His | Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will |
Tx:24.47 | in your completion is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His | Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a |
Tx:24.50 | Without you there would be a lack in God, a Heaven incomplete, a | Son without a Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For |
Tx:24.51 | began and as He knows you still. God changes not His Mind about His | Son with passing circumstance, which has no meaning in eternity where |
Tx:24.52 | Forget not that the healing of God's | Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit |
Tx:24.52 | in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the | Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all |
Tx:24.52 | in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all belief God's | Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not. |
Tx:24.57 | condemnation along with you. And both shall see God's glory in His | Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no power |
Tx:24.62 | the hint of threat, or anything but deepest reverence. This is your | son, beloved of you as you are to your Father. Yet it stands in place |
Tx:24.62 | to your Father. Yet it stands in place of your creations, who are | son to you, that you might share the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it |
Tx:24.62 | share the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it from Him. What is this | son that you have made to be your strength? What is this child of |
Tx:24.62 | And where are they, now that the host of God has found another | son which he prefers to them? |
Tx:24.68 | A co-creator with the Father must have a | Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A perfect |
Tx:24.68 | A co-creator with the Father must have a Son. Yet must this | Son have been created like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing |
Tx:24.71 | it evil. Yet your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved | son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means |
Tx:24.72 | and no encounter. One do you see outside yourself, your own beloved | son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within your brother as |
Tx:24.72 | yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's | Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their difference does not |
Tx:24.72 | and separates each from all aspects with a different purpose. The | Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an |
Tx:24.72 | a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The | son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so. And thus |
Tx:25.2 | Him manifest. And thus they do not recognize Him where He is. The | son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide |
Tx:25.2 | where He is. The son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the | Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks with him within his |
Tx:25.7 | with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His | Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, |
Tx:25.8 | the truth may reach to you through what you understand. Father and | Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in |
Tx:25.9 | lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the | Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really will. But this is |
Tx:25.20 | masterpiece? What could He do but offer thanks to you who love His | Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His love if you but |
Tx:25.20 | gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His perfect | Son for being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on |
Tx:25.21 | never sinned. Give then what He has given you that you may see His | Son as one and thank his Father as He thanks you. Nor believe that |
Tx:25.21 | you. And give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the | Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His Will and yours, who |
Tx:25.24 | the world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His | Son believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let |
Tx:25.26 | universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the | Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And |
Tx:25.26 | error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His | Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the world that error |
Tx:25.31 | The | Son of God could never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. |
Tx:25.33 | of rejoicing and of joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The | Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in |
Tx:25.36 | for you. What aim can supersede the Will of God and of His | Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his |
Tx:25.37 | desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive the | Son of God as other than he is. The need for guilt is gone because it |
Tx:25.38 | to deserve the wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the | Son of God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands before you |
Tx:25.40 | The | Son of God asks only this of you—that you return to him what is his |
Tx:25.42 | Against the hatred that the | Son of God may cherish toward himself is God believed to be without |
Tx:25.49 | you. All that you made can serve salvation easily and well. The | Son of God can make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his |
Tx:25.49 | light, you see it as your special function in the plan to save the | Son of God from all attack and let him understand that he is safe, as |
Tx:25.53 | is to deny your Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved | Son do not think differently. And it is the agreement of their |
Tx:25.53 | differently. And it is the agreement of their thought that makes the | Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he |
Tx:25.53 | one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's | Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the |
Tx:25.53 | to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son because the | Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the Father and the |
Tx:25.53 | Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the Father and the | Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the |
Tx:25.53 | believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the | Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on |
Tx:25.54 | And one in which nothing is contradicted that would lead the | Son of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty, |
Tx:25.55 | of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the Father and the | Son must be to make that viewpoint meaningful and sane. |
Tx:25.56 | free of place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The | Son of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not |
Tx:25.58 | function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook His | Son and pass him by in careless thoughtlessness. |
Tx:25.62 | you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which is the | Son of God. He cannot lose, for if he could, the loss would be his |
Tx:25.72 | is richer made by each one you accept. And God rejoices as His | Son receives what loving justice knows to be his due. For love and |
Tx:25.72 | they are the same does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the | Son of God the power to forgive himself of sin. |
Tx:25.73 | recognize it not. God knows of no injustice. He would not allow His | Son be judged by those who seek his death and could not see his worth |
Tx:25.73 | him by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be done unto the | Son He loves and would protect from all unfairness you might seek to |
Tx:25.75 | the power of love and justice if you understand it is impossible the | Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not perceive in every |
Tx:25.75 | And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's | Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How |
Tx:25.77 | joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His holy | Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit |
Tx:25.77 | For only love is just and can perceive what justice must accord the | Son of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your |
Tx:25.79 | [for you] in Heaven, where all of the treasures given to God's | Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds out his hand in |
Tx:25.80 | one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice not accorded to the | Son of God. When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And |
Tx:25.84 | Salvation cannot seek to help God's | Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy |
Tx:26.4 | and you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that God's | Son perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without |
Tx:26.4 | perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without His | Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be separate and without |
Tx:26.4 | sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's | Son is seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he |
Tx:26.7 | your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy | Son, think not that you have power to make of them what God willed |
Tx:26.7 | power to make of them what God willed not they be. In Heaven God's | Son is not imprisoned in a body nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin. |
Tx:26.8 | sacrifice and loss. God's justice rests in gentleness upon His | Son and keeps him safe from all injustices the world would lay upon |
Tx:26.9 | What is the Holy Spirit's special function but to release the holy | Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from |
Tx:26.13 | all errors. Every problem is an error. It does injustice to the | Son of God and therefore is not true. The Holy Spirit does not |
Tx:26.13 | They have no properties to Him. They are mistakes from which the | Son of God is suffering, but needlessly. And so He takes the thorns |
Tx:26.13 | be large or little. He makes but one judgment—that to hurt God's | Son must be unfair and therefore is not so. |
Tx:26.14 | justice is total. There is no such thing as partial justice. If the | Son of God is guilty, then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy |
Tx:26.18 | one? He knows of one creation, one reality, one truth, and but one | Son. Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, could there be |
Tx:26.21 | Nothing the | Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must |
Tx:26.28 | brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the | Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer |
Tx:26.34 | What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of the | Son of God can hardly still be there for you to choose to be your |
Tx:26.39 | Would God allow His | Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of time gone by? |
Tx:26.39 | have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's | Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's |
Tx:26.40 | The | Son that God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the |
Tx:26.45 | illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of God's | Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet God has given |
Tx:26.48 | in truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The | Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a wish |
Tx:26.53 | serves to bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's | Son where sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role |
Tx:26.56 | There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the | Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God are one. |
Tx:26.57 | What is the Will of God? He wills His | Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as |
Tx:26.58 | Here does the | Son of God ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice |
Tx:26.60 | success. For never will success be possible in trying to deceive the | Son of God. |
Tx:26.61 | merely shift effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's | Son could never be content with less than full salvation and escape |
Tx:26.61 | idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's | Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor |
Tx:26.63 | brother calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the | Son of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is |
Tx:26.63 | of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is the | Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every wish |
Tx:26.64 | in the name of love. To you to whom it has been given to save the | Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and death, all glory be |
Tx:26.64 | hell and death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the | Son of God because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands |
Tx:26.67 | it not. And by this little gift of truth but let to be itself—the | Son of God allowed to be himself and all creation freed to call upon |
Tx:26.83 | winter and the freezing cold. And shall the Lord of Heaven and His | Son give less in gratitude for so much more? |
Tx:26.84 | as host again to Him by Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His | Son dwells with Him, never separate. And They give thanks that They |
Tx:26.84 | that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do God the Father and the | Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy |
Tx:26.87 | Yet it is you who ask this of yourself in deep injustice to the | Son of God. You have no enemy except yourself, and you are enemy |
Tx:26.88 | attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your own attack upon the | Son of God you seek? Is it not safer to believe that you are innocent |
Tx:26.91 | By this do I deny the Presence of the Father and the | Son. And I would rather know of Them than see injustice which Their |
Tx:27.1 | of God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved | Son. |
Tx:27.3 | need of anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon God's | Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before his eyes that he |
Tx:27.18 | cry of death and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His | Son, and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that |
Tx:27.18 | and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His Son, and of the | Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will |
Tx:27.20 | sight and his. And laughter will replace your sighs because God's | Son remembered that he is God's Son. |
Tx:27.20 | replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is God's | Son. |
Tx:27.53 | you for your healing, for He knows it is a gift of love unto His | Son, and therefore is it given unto Him. |
Tx:27.73 | will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's | Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his |
Tx:27.75 | from this dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved | Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your |
Tx:27.82 | eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad idea at which the | Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought |
Tx:27.85 | Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy | Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,” and |
Tx:28.8 | it was not your Father's Will that He be unremembered by His [only] | Son. |
Tx:28.10 | Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His | Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have they never been denied. |
Tx:28.10 | yet have they never been denied. There was no time in which His | Son could be condemned for what was causeless and against His Will. |
Tx:28.12 | that instant is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the | Son of God, for whom they have been kept. How gladly does He offer |
Tx:28.12 | would not be deprived of His effects. The instant's silence that His | Son accepts gives welcome to eternity and Him and lets Them enter |
Tx:28.12 | lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that instant does the | Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid. |
Tx:28.13 | and undone. The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the | Son of God remembers from before his own remembering came in between |
Tx:28.14 | Now is the | Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign effects. Now |
Tx:28.15 | it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a stranded | Son forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he |
Tx:28.15 | over. He has built the bridge, and it is He Who will transport His | Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He wills. Nor |
Tx:28.16 | cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His | Son. Effects do not create their cause, but they establish its |
Tx:28.16 | not create their cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the | Son gives fatherhood to his Creator and receives the gift that he has |
Tx:28.16 | receives the gift that he has given Him. It is because he is God's | Son that he must also be a father who creates as God created him. The |
Tx:28.18 | Always in sickness does the | Son of God attempt to make himself his cause and not allow himself to |
Tx:28.18 | to make himself his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's | Son. For this impossible desire, he does not believe that he is |
Tx:28.34 | And what are you who live within the world except a picture of the | Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a separate and |
Tx:28.36 | deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays before His | Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing there can be |
Tx:28.43 | left the space between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His | Son the Holy Spirit joined. |
Tx:28.44 | The Holy Spirit's function is to take the broken picture of the | Son of God and put the pieces into place again. This holy picture, |
Tx:28.44 | seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father will receive His | Son, because His Son was gracious to himself. |
Tx:28.44 | and of sin. And here the Father will receive His Son, because His | Son was gracious to himself. |
Tx:28.45 | each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy | Son. Your holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of them. |
Tx:28.45 | it is recognized as being part of the completed picture of God's | Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the |
Tx:28.45 | mean nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the | Son of God is just the same as every other part. |
Tx:28.46 | not your brother's dreams but join with him, and where you join His | Son, the Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he |
Tx:28.46 | Your willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's | Son requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of |
Tx:28.59 | has made to God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His | Son keeps his. In his creation did his Father say, “You are beloved |
Tx:28.59 | Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from Me.” His | Son remembers not that he replied “I will,” though in that promise he |
Tx:28.60 | God asks for nothing, and His | Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An |
Tx:28.60 | has not. A space where God is not, a gap between the Father and the | Son is not the will of either, who have promised to be one. God's |
Tx:28.63 | for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of God's | Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a |
Tx:28.66 | alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise that His | Son is safe forever in Himself. What gap can interpose itself between |
Tx:28.66 | in worth than the extent to which it can be used to liberate God's | Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home of |
Tx:29.15 | Such is the promise of the living God—His | Son have life and every living thing be part of him, and nothing else |
Tx:29.21 | is perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the dream His | Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the dream he made, |
Tx:29.23 | God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's | Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions. |
Tx:29.24 | How holy are you, that the | Son of God can be your savior in the midst of dreams of desolation |
Tx:29.31 | except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and the | Son. Where both abide are They remembered both. And where They are is |
Tx:29.32 | in the might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred | Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who |
Tx:29.32 | Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon the | Son of God and would behold him waken and be glad. He is a part of |
Tx:29.32 | glad. He is a part of you, and you of him because he is his Father's | Son and not for any purpose you may see in him. Nothing is asked of |
Tx:29.33 | This sacred | Son of God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for |
Tx:29.34 | in all creation but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His | Son, His perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom |
Tx:29.35 | not give in minds that can direct the hand to bless and lead God's | Son unto his Father's house. Would you not want to be a friend to |
Tx:29.39 | Swear not to die, you holy | Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of Life |
Tx:29.39 | you holy Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The | Son of Life cannot be killed. He is immortal as his Father. What he |
Tx:29.39 | return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's | Son can never change by what men made of him. He will be as he was |
Tx:29.41 | seeming sway is now restored the function God established for His | Son in full awareness. Time can set no end to its fulfillment nor its |
Tx:29.42 | kill your body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's | Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it |
Tx:29.42 | for. How lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's | Son! How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! |
Tx:29.45 | form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's | Son within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose |
Tx:29.57 | God, forever given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the | Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to |
Tx:29.60 | One. Who can have more, and who be given less? In Heaven would the | Son of God but laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for |
Tx:29.61 | life and seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the holy | Son of God that this could be his wish—to let himself fall lower |
Tx:29.61 | that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God made enemy unto His | Son. |
Tx:29.62 | How can God's | Son awaken from the dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must he |
Tx:29.63 | the dream from which they come. Judgment is an injustice to God's | Son, and it is justice that who judges him will not escape the |
Tx:29.68 | which never left the altar which abides forever deep within the | Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he never |
Tx:30.34 | Unless you do your will, you are not free. And would God leave His | Son without what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured that you |
Tx:30.34 | be reminded of His love and learn your will. God would not have His | Son made prisoner to what he does not want. He joins with you in |
Tx:30.39 | form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the | Son? What idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be |
Tx:30.41 | no separate person and no separate thing the power to complete the | Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what |
Tx:30.41 | to complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the | Son of God what he already has? |
Tx:30.42 | Completion is the function of God's | Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands |
Tx:30.48 | sky, no changeless star, and no reality. The mind of Heaven's | Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and Son joined in |
Tx:30.48 | mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and | Son joined in creation which can have no end. You have not two |
Tx:30.48 | The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy | Son of God Himself, are unaware of your reality. |
Tx:30.53 | they are not there. Yet this is equally forgotten in attack. God's | Son needs no defense against his dreams. His idols do not threaten |
Tx:30.54 | —you do not want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the | Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And thus is he free. |
Tx:30.56 | and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And the | Son of God can have no need of them. They offer him no single thing |
Tx:30.60 | final step is God's because it is but God Who could create a perfect | Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one outside of Heaven knows |
Tx:30.60 | because its purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's | Son prepared to be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows |
Tx:30.60 | so is Heaven's Son prepared to be himself, and to remember that the | Son of God knows everything his Father understands and understands it |
Tx:30.62 | are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His | Son again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your |
Tx:30.62 | gap between your brother and yourself was never there. And what the | Son of God knew in creation, he must know again. |
Tx:30.63 | the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His | Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the |
Tx:30.76 | not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive God's | Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole |
Tx:30.76 | cannot be appearances which have replaced the truth about God's | Son. |
Tx:30.78 | God's | Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know him if |
Tx:30.78 | God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's | Son. Nor will you know him if you think he does not merit the escape |
Tx:30.79 | I thank you, Father, for your perfect | Son, and in his glory will I see my own. |
Tx:30.81 | no effects. But what you see as having power to make an idol of the | Son of God you will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven |
Tx:30.81 | a sign of death. Is this your savior? Is his Father wrong about His | Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has been given you to heal, |
Tx:30.92 | miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts upon God's | Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he becomes the |
Tx:31.4 | one strange lesson, powerful enough to render God forgotten and His | Son an alien to himself, in exile from the home where God Himself |
Tx:31.4 | God Himself established him. You who have taught yourselves the | Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple things |
Tx:31.6 | senseless noise of sounds which have no meaning? God willed not His | Son forget Him. And the power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks |
Tx:31.7 | surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that God's | Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world of terror and |
Tx:31.7 | reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God's | Son is innocent and see another world. |
Tx:31.8 | The outcome of the lesson that God's | Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear and everything |
Tx:31.9 | with all the certainty with which He knows His love. But only if His | Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were fear indeed if he whom |
Tx:31.9 | he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect | Son remembers his creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he |
Tx:31.10 | The fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His | Son is guilty as God's love must be remembered when he learns his |
Tx:31.21 | thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you learned about this | Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all with equal |
Tx:31.21 | answer from the one He gave when God appointed Him His only | Son. |
Tx:31.42 | escape from what you are. For God is merciful and did not let His | Son abandon Him. For what He is, be thankful, for in that is your |
Tx:31.44 | at all. It is an idol, made to take the place of your reality as | Son of God. The concept of the self the world would teach is not the |
Tx:31.66 | You who believe that you can choose to see the | Son of God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of |
Tx:31.77 | the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has given you His | Son to save from every concept that he ever held. |
Tx:31.78 | while you wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the | Son of God? How would you know his holiness while you see him apart |
Tx:31.82 | them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God says, “Release My | Son!” be tempted not to listen when you learn that it is you for whom |
Tx:31.83 | in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy | Son of God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape its |
Tx:31.87 | is yours because He is the Self that God created as His only | Son. |
Tx:31.90 | I am as God created me. His | Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son. |
Tx:31.90 | I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His | Son. |
Tx:31.92 | disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's | Son and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way |
W1:20.3 | purpose? And can the world be saved if you are not? God has one | Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. His Will is done |
W1:37.1 | And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a | Son of God. |
W1:38.1 | is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you as a | Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your |
W1:39.4 | it? God does not know unholiness. Can it be He does not know His | Son? |
W1:40.3 | then add several of the attributes which you associate with being a | Son of God, applying them to yourself. One practice period might, for |
W1:40.4 | I am blessed as a | Son of God. I am happy, peaceful, loving, and contented. |
W1:40.6 | I am blessed as a | Son of God. I am calm, quiet, assured, and confident. |
W1:40.7 | is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a | Son of God will do. |
W1:43.2 | of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the | Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the |
W1:43.2 | close to God's. Healed perception becomes the means by which the | Son of God forgives his brother and thus forgives himself. |
W1:45.11 | an altar dedicated in Heaven itself to God the Father and God the | Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You will probably |
W1:46.11 | I cannot be guilty because I am a | Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No fear is possible in a |
W1:49.2 | you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His | Son. |
W1:50.2 | disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the | Son of God. |
W1:50.4 | no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the | Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place |
W1:54.5 | nothing. Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A | Son of God cannot think or speak or act in vain. He cannot be alone |
W1:55.2 | disaster, and death. This cannot be what God created for His beloved | Son. The very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not |
W1:55.2 | that I do not understand God. Therefore I also do not understand His | Son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I am. I am determined |
W1:55.3 | is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the love of His | Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My |
W1:57.3 | I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the | Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer |
W1:57.3 | I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want. The | Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him, and not |
W1:57.4 | are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for God's | Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can |
W1:57.4 | would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the | Son of God finds his freedom. |
W1:58.6 | [40] I am blessed as a | Son of God. Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am |
W1:58.6 | Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a | Son of God. All good things are mine because God intended them for |
W1:58.6 | me is infinite and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His | Son. |
W1:60.5 | is the only voice and the only guide that has been given to His | Son. |
W1:60.6 | the world for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His | Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has |
W1:60.6 | the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His | Son. |
W1:61.1 | Who is the light of the world except God's | Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself. |
W1:61.10 | light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His | Son on you. |
W1:62.3 | and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His | Son to your awareness. |
W1:63.2 | You are indeed the light of the world with such a function. The | Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It is yours to give him, |
W1:63.2 | desire in its place or you will forget your function and leave the | Son of God in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked of |
W1:63.6 | Remember that God's | Son looks to you for his salvation. And who but your Self must be His |
W1:63.6 | looks to you for his salvation. And who but your Self must be His | Son? |
W1:64.1 | for forgetting it. It is the temptation to abandon God and His | Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's |
W1:64.4 | salvation awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the | Son of God escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. |
W1:64.4 | of God escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. The | Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God |
W1:67.1 | This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the | Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you |
W1:67.8 | the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the | Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself. |
W1:69.2 | We are trying to let the veil be lifted and see the tears of God's | Son disappear in the sunlight. |
W1:72.4 | with him and judging them as one. Herein is God attacked, for if His | Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike |
W1:73.3 | each exchange. Can such a world have been created by the will the | Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His |
W1:73.3 | Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His | Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a world |
W1:73.11 | You will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the | Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is now |
W1:74.6 | My will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His | Son. |
W1:76.11 | About the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only | Son, created as His channel for creation, denied to Him by his belief |
W1:76.14 | It is our acknowledgment that God is our Father and that His | Son is saved. |
W1:78.2 | but lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence to behold the | Son of God. |
W1:78.3 | every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you see the | Son of God where he has always been. He stands in light, but you were |
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 |
W1:78.6 | crossed your mind already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's | Son be shown to us. Through seeing him behind the grievances that we |
W1:78.8 | Then let us ask of Him Who knows this | Son of God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a |
W1:78.8 | given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His | Son, as holy as Himself: |
W1:78.10 | The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's | Son. And what you see through Him will free you both. |
W1:87.7 | in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's Will you are His | Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's Will for me, |
W1:92.9 | to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His | Son, is waiting now to meet itself again and be as one. |
W1:93.5 | The self you made is not the | Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And anything |
W1:93.5 | It is unreal and nothing more than that. It does not battle with the | Son of God. It does not hurt him nor attack his peace. It has not |
W1:94.2 | You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the | Son of God. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which |
W1:94.4 | I am as God created me. I am His | Son eternally. |
W1:94.5 | Now try to reach the | Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned nor made an |
W1:94.8 | I am as God created me. I am His | Son eternally. |
W1:94.10 | You are as God created you. You are His | Son eternally. |
W1:95.2 | oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the | Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing. |
W1:95.16 | Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's | Son, One Self with one Creator and one goal—to bring awareness of |
W1:95.17 | all there is and all that there will be. You are One Self, the holy | Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with your |
W1:95.18 | away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the | Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength within |
W1:96.7 | it can. Yet would you have God's plan for the release of His dear | Son bring pain to him and fail to set him free? |
W1:97.2 | We state again the truth about your Self, the holy | Son of God who rests in you whose mind has been restored to sanity. |
W1:97.9 | Spirit am I, a holy | Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to |
W1:99.11 | Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one | Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is you. |
W1:99.11 | is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one | Son is you. |
W1:99.20 | may find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the | Son of God. |
W1:100.1 | Just as God's | Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father's |
W1:100.6 | asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He loves His | Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no fear besets him to |
W1:101.1 | must think it so while you believe that sin is real and that God's | Son can sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be |
W1:101.4 | your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have crucified His | Son. |
W1:101.5 | cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God's | Son. |
W1:102.7 | here is happiness. You have no need to be less loving to God's | Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides |
W1:105.6 | You will understand that what completes Him must complete His | Son as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive |
W1:106.4 | dream instead and last forever, for they come from God to His dear | Son, whose other name is you. |
W1:106.5 | you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's | Son except his Father calling through your Self? |
W1:109.2 | will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the | Son of God is born again, to recognize himself. |
W1:110.7 | I am as God created me. His | Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son. |
W1:110.7 | I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His | Son. |
W1:110.8 | in your mind, try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy | Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son |
W1:110.8 | Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the | Son of God and brother to the world—the savior who has been forever |
W1:110.9 | you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the | Son of God instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your |
W1:110.11 | we remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His | Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us: |
W1:R3.12 | you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God's | Son, acceptable to God and to your Self. |
W1:114.2 | [97] I am Spirit. I am the | Son of God. No body can contain my spirit nor impose on me a |
W1:116.3 | Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His | Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has given me is all |
W1:118.3 | the mighty Voice of truth itself assure me that I am God's perfect | Son. |
W1:119.2 | I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's | Son whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God. |
W1:120.3 | [110] I am as God created me. I am God's | Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father |
W1:121.14 | I am mortal, fallible, and full of sin and know I am the perfect | Son of God. |
W1:122.3 | look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the | Son of God and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that |
W1:122.6 | you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the | Son of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an |
W1:123.3 | without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the | Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be |
W1:123.3 | gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established as His | Son. |
W1:123.8 | to think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He gave His | Son that he might rise above the world remembering his Father and his |
W1:125.2 | you. No other means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the | Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his |
W1:125.3 | stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the | Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world, |
W1:125.4 | Hear, holy | Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy |
W1:125.5 | cherish the illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows His | Son and wills that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams, |
W1:125.8 | with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of | Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has |
W1:125.8 | to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His | Son, and you have never left your Self. |
W1:125.9 | and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the | Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no illusions |
W1:126.7 | with empty gestures and evaluate such petty gifts as worthy of His | Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and true forgiveness, as |
W1:127.1 | a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of God, and also of His | Son. |
W1:127.2 | have to judge between the righteous and the sinner and perceive the | Son of God in separate parts. |
W1:127.3 | power holding everything as one, the link between the Father and the | Son which holds them both forever as the same. |
W1:129.4 | remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His | Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what |
W1:129.4 | unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son as His | Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what they say |
W1:131.5 | No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. God's | Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive |
W1:131.7 | or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills His | Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? |
W1:131.9 | conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How could it be His | Son could be in hell when God Himself established him in Heaven? |
W1:131.10 | Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the | Son of God make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies |
W1:131.17 | that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy | Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, |
W1:131.17 | Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His | Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to |
W1:132.13 | but as God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His | Son, for He makes no distinctions in what is Himself and what is |
W1:132.13 | creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the Father end, the | Son begin as something separate from Him. |
W1:132.14 | is a thought apart from God and made to separate the Father and the | Son and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His |
W1:135.5 | little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the | Son of God as worthy host? |
W1:135.29 | And I would keep it holy. I will not defend myself, because the | Son of God needs no defense against the truth of his reality. |
W1:136.10 | more frail than hell, and God's design for the salvation of His | Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, |
W1:136.10 | of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His | Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and chaos sits in triumph on His |
W1:137.3 | sees the body has no power to attack the universal oneness of God's | Son. |
W1:137.15 | the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one | Son, Who is my only Self. |
W1:139.9 | This does Atonement teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's | Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today accept |
W1:139.13 | all the foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy | Son of God. And learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to |
W1:140.10 | healing which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the | Son of God. No voice but this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice |
W1:R4.4 | is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the | Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this |
W1:R4.4 | by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the | Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this thought which fully |
W1:R4.4 | Himself. It is this thought which fully guarantees salvation to the | Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father |
W1:151.7 | by such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God's | Son. He recognizes only what God loves, and in the holy light of what |
W1:151.9 | can the body mean to Him Who knows the glory of the Father and the | Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear? What could convince Him |
W1:151.14 | joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His | Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus |
W1:151.15 | as all your thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the | Son of God the holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen |
W1:151.15 | fail to listen when you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's | Son. And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has |
W1:152.8 | of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the | Son. |
W1:152.9 | wholeness—all-encompassing, God's perfect gift to His beloved | Son. |
W1:152.10 | own. And we accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize the | Son of God. |
W1:152.11 | To recognize God's | Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside and |
W1:152.11 | arrogance has been perceived. And in humility the radiance of God's | Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's Love, his |
W1:152.15 | frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's | Son for your illusions of yourself. |
W1:153.5 | the holy peace of God by your defensiveness. For you behold the | Son of God as but a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by |
W1:153.8 | to cross our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the | Son of God, its tiny instant for eternity. |
W1:153.13 | forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the | Son of God. We pause but for a moment more to play our final happy |
W1:153.14 | in his confused, bewildered memory of this distorted tale. God's | Son can smile at last on learning that it is not true. |
W1:154.3 | in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His | Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him. |
W1:154.3 | that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His | Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him. |
W1:154.4 | It is this joining through the Voice of God of Father and of | Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which |
W1:154.12 | what you already have nor has denied the tiniest of blessings to His | Son. What can this mean to you until you have identified with him and |
W1:155.8 | but only gain. Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the holy | Son of God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step back, |
W1:155.11 | on all the things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy | Son of God will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be |
W1:155.12 | you more than everything or offer less and still content the holy | Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us now is one |
W1:155.13 | you elsewhere. Dreams are not a worthy guide for you who are God's | Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and given you your |
W1:158.2 | in the way that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the | Son are one will come in time to every mind. Yet is that time |
W1:158.7 | has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the | Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea |
W1:158.8 | And this you give today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the | Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness. |
W1:159.10 | worth the gift when God appointed it be given you? Judge not God's | Son, but follow in the way He has established. Christ has dreamed the |
W1:160.4 | fear or you that is unsuited to the home which God provided for His | Son? Is fear His own, created in His likeness? Is it fear that love |
W1:160.7 | place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its own as God is of His | Son. He cannot be confused about creation. He is sure of what belongs |
W1:160.7 | Son's reality. He does not know of strangers. He is certain of His | Son. |
W1:160.8 | His certainty suffices. Who He knows to be His | Son belongs where He has set His Son forever. He has answered you who |
W1:160.8 | suffices. Who He knows to be His Son belongs where He has set His | Son forever. He has answered you who ask, “Who is the stranger?” Hear |
W1:161.14 | Give me your blessing, holy | Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my |
W1:162.2 | Here is the Word by which the | Son became His Father's happiness, His Love, and His completion. Here |
W1:162.6 | light is come today to bless the world, for you have recognized the | Son of God, and in your recognition is the world's. |
W1:163.4 | perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of Father and of | Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath the headstone death has |
W1:163.4 | beneath the headstone death has placed upon the body of the holy | Son of God. |
W1:163.7 | and so eternal life gave way to death. And with the Father died the | Son as well. |
W1:164.9 | withhold so little when His Hand holds out complete salvation to His | Son? |
W1:165.6 | destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to let His | Son remain forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs |
W1:166.1 | things are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His | Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing back that can |
W1:166.9 | Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His | Son in deep oblivion and go the way you chose without your Self. |
W1:167.1 | to God does not exist. There is no death because the Father and the | Son are one. |
W1:168.1 | suffer from deception. He remains entirely accessible. He loves His | Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He will love |
W1:168.1 | There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He will love His | Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him still. And |
W1:168.4 | God loves His | Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world will |
W1:168.6 | us He gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He loves His | Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us |
W1:168.7 | Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the | Son You love. |
W1:169.4 | contradict our statement that the revelation of the Father and the | Son as one has been already set. But we have also said the mind |
W1:169.6 | all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The | Son of God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has |
W1:169.8 | script in His Creator's name and in the name of His Creator's | Son. |
W1:R5.8 | the way that led him out and now will lead you out with him. God's | Son is crucified until you walk along the road with me. |
W1:R5.11 | 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 then be one with you? |
W1:R5.12 | And your wholeness now complete, as God established it. You are His | Son, completing His extension in your own. We practice but an ancient |
W1:176.2 | [161] Give me your blessing, holy | Son of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:177.2 | [163] There is no death. The | Son of God is free. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:182.5 | 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 so |
W1:183.1 | call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. A father gives his | son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His brothers |
W1:183.1 | your own. A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the | son with him. His brothers share his name, and thus are they united |
W1:183.5 | nameless for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy | Son of God. |
W1:183.6 | established there an altar which reaches to God Himself and to His | Son. Practice but this today; repeat God's Name slowly again and |

W1:183.9 | Him as sole Creator of reality. And you acknowledge also that His | Son is part of Him, creating in His Name. Sit silently, and let His |
W1:183.11 | it. words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when God's | Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts become his own. |
W1:183.12 | of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of nothing but the | Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his Father's Voice gives |
W1:184.12 | answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the | Son He loves. |
W1:184.14 | we use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of God's | Son, we understand that they have but One Name, Which He has given |
W1:186.3 | you and offers you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His | Son. It does not ask that you be different in any way from what you |
W1:186.7 | you and not upon this little pile of dust. What can it tell the holy | Son of God? Why need he be concerned with it at all? |
W1:186.9 | Is this the | Son of God? Could He create such instability and call it Son? He Who |
W1:186.9 | Is this the Son of God? Could He create such instability and call it | Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His creation. |
W1:186.9 | shares His attributes with His creation. All the images His | Son appears to make have no effect on what he is. They blow across |
W1:186.13 | have everything already. He has thoughts which answer every need His | Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and |
W1:187.10 | one Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as one | Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from |
W1:188.6 | And they point surely to their Source where God the Father and the | Son are one. |
W1:189.8 | simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the | Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His |
W1:189.9 | surely there if it be true, and can be surely reached. God knows His | Son and knows the way to him. He does not need His Son to show Him |
W1:189.9 | God knows His Son and knows the way to him. He does not need His | Son to show Him how to find His way. Through every opened door His |
W1:190.1 | be real in any form? It witnesses to God the Father's hatred of His | Son, the sinfulness He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge |
W1:190.2 | of abandonment by an eternal Love which could not leave the | Son whom It created out of love. |
W1:190.3 | is dead, has shown that death is victor over life. The body is the | Son of God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the Father he has |
W1:190.8 | you have gladly paid not to be free. In pain is God denied the | Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and time |
W1:191.1 | what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the | Son of God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of |
W1:191.6 | One holy thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy | Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as well |
W1:191.8 | I am the holy | Son of God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot |
W1:191.10 | since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The | Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the |
W1:191.10 | forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's | Son has come again at last to set it free? |
W1:191.12 | Then let the | Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return |
W1:191.13 | They die till you accept your own eternal life. You are the holy | Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free. Remember |
W1:192.1 | that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred | Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love preserved, |
W1:192.6 | forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His holy | Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon his |
W1:192.6 | God intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the | Son to look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed |
W1:192.10 | Be merciful today. The | Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the |
W1:193.1 | to what He does not understand in that He wills the happiness His | Son inherited of Him be undisturbed, eternal and forever gaining |
W1:193.2 | God sees no contradictions. Yet His | Son believes he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct |
W1:193.2 | let the light of Heaven shine upon it. It is He Who answers what His | Son would contradict and keeps his sinlessness forever safe. |
W1:193.3 | Love and making Answer to a question which, though meaningless, His | Son had asked of Him.] |
W1:193.4 | the foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy | Son with peace and joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each |
W1:193.5 | Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the | Son He loves. Each lesson has a central thought, the same in all of |
W1:193.12 | not have you suffer thus. He would help you forgive yourself. His | Son does not remember who he is. And God would have him not forget |
W1:193.12 | you that all pain may disappear and God may be remembered by His | Son? |
W1:193.13 | thought without correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred | Son in any way. He would ensure his holy rest remain untroubled and |
W1:193.13 | God has willed that laughter should replace each one and that His | Son be free again. |
W1:194.5 | into a holy instant when the light that was kept hidden in God's | Son is freed to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory |
W1:195.9 | for these insane perceptions. God has cared for us and calls us | Son. Can there be more than this? |
W1:195.10 | which is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you, His | Son, for being what you are—His own completion and the source of |
W1:196.11 | you from illusions in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His | Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear |
W1:197.8 | Thanks be to you, the holy | Son of God, for as you were created you contain all things within |
W1:198.3 | with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the | Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are |
W1:198.7 | justified. Yet all are one—a place where death is offered to God's | Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you |
W1:198.8 | How mad to think that you could be condemned and that the holy | Son of God can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, |
W1:198.12 | the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's | Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its |
W1:198.13 | vanished from the mind which God forever knows to be His only | Son. |
W1:198.14 | is his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the | Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to |
W1:198.14 | forgiveness to the Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose | Son he is, that to behold the Son is to perceive no more and only |
W1:198.14 | Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to behold the | Son is to perceive no more and only know the Father? In this vision |
W1:198.14 | to perceive no more and only know the Father? In this vision of the | Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this single sight |
W1:199.8 | You are God's | Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your mind |
W1:199.8 | released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's | Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of |
W1:200.6 | it must serve a mighty function. Is not the escape of God's beloved | Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a |
W1:200.7 | There is no peace except the peace of God because He has one | Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his |
W1:200.9 | is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His | Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father |
W1:200.9 | need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the | Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world |
W1:204.1 | Name of God is my inheritance. God's Name reminds me that I am His | Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick |
W1:206.1 | depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God because I am His | Son. And I would give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am |
W1:209.1 | Love of God is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His | Son. The Love of God within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am |
W1:210.1 | Him and from His Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved | Son. And that I choose instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am |
W1:211.1 | [191] I am the holy | Son of God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I seek God's |
W1:211.1 | silence and in true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the | Son whom He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am |
W1:219.1 | [199] I am not a body. I am free. I am God's | Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this. And then return |
W1:219.1 | to earth without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His | Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. |
W2:I.3 | He has promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His | Son will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name. |
W2:I.4 | He would not fail to take when we invited Him. He has not left His | Son in all his madness nor betrayed His trust in him. Has not His |
W2:I.7 | will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The Father and the | Son, Whose holy will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In |
W2:I.7 | You and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which will not fail the | Son who calls to You. |
W2:I.9 | We had a wish that God would fail to have the | Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and |
W2:WF.1 | all your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about God's | Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. |
W2:WF.5 | He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the | Son of God. |
W2:221.2 | hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His | Son. |
W2:222.1 | pain. He covers me with kindness and with care and holds in love the | Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he who knows |
W2:223.2 | the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy | Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt |
W2:223.2 | look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your | Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here and long |
W2:223.2 | would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your | Son. |
W2:225.1 | with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving | Son is led along to You! |
W2:227.2 | we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The | Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day |
W2:227.2 | never really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The | Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in |
W2:228.1 | He is my Creator and the One Who knows the true condition of His | Son? |
W2:230.2 | time and still remains beyond all change. The peace in which Your | Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You |
W2:230.2 | You to find the peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your | Son. |
W2:WS.2 | The thought of peace was given to God's | Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need |
W2:WS.5 | world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's | Son has but an instant more to wait until his Father is remembered, |
W2:232.1 | sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your | Son. |
W2:232.2 | reveal all things to you, and be you undismayed because you are His | Son. |
W2:234.1 | has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the | Son. This we accept as wholly true today. |
W2:235.1 | has come to me. And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His | Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect to be sure that I am |
W2:235.1 | to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the | Son He loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so. |
W2:237.2 | Voice of God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your | Son and my true Self as well. Amen. |
W2:238.1 | I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your | Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is part of You and |
W2:238.2 | we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His | Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete |
W2:239.1 | guilt? And can it be that we are not among them when He loves His | Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created |
W2:240.1 | own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the | Son of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love |
W2:240.2 | How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your | Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him |
W2:240.2 | You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your | Son and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may |
W2:WIW.2 | was meant to be a place where God could enter not and where His | Son could be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge |
W2:241.2 | one another now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your | Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we |
W2:244.1 | Your | Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He need |
W2:245.1 | my Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your | Son as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self. |
W2:246.1 | to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's | Son and think that I can know his Father or my Self. Let me not fail |
W2:246.2 | is what I will as well and only that. And so I choose to love Your | Son. Amen. |
W2:248.1 | Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy | Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and |
W2:248.2 | Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your | Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love |
W2:249.1 | into the Light that it reflects. And so the journey which the | Son of God began has ended in the Light from Which he came. |
W2:250.1 | Let me behold the | Son of God today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure |
W2:250.2 | He is Your | Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my |
W2:WIS.3 | are the “proof” that what has no reality is real. Sin “proves” God's | Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must die. |
W2:WIS.3 | have an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the | Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will |
W2:WIS.4 | to terrify. And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The | Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, |
W2:WIS.5 | How long, oh | Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away |
W2:WIS.5 | Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, oh holy | Son of God, how long? |
W2:252.2 | Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your | Son, that I may waken to the truth in You and know that Heaven is |
W2:253.2 | You are the Self Whom You created | Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which rules |
W2:255.1 | choose to have but peace today. And yet my God assures me that His | Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am |
W2:255.1 | like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God's | Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the |
W2:255.1 | be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's | Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. |
W2:255.2 | And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your | Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his |
W2:260.1 | I have not left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your | Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. |
W2:WIB.1 | The body is a fence the | Son of God imagines he has built to separate parts of his Self from |
W2:WIB.2 | The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the | Son of God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work and do the task |
W2:WIB.2 | And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God's eternal | Son can be destroyed? |
W2:WIB.4 | The body is the means by which God's | Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell |
W2:WIB.4 | has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The | Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother and to help him walk |
W2:261.2 | home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find the | Son whom You created as my Self. |
W2:262.1 | Father, You have one | Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one |
W2:262.1 | I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your | Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a |
W2:262.1 | are our Source, eternally united in Your Love, eternally the holy | Son of God. |
W2:264.1 | and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your | Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, |
W2:264.1 | without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your | Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name today, to be at |
W2:266.1 | and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your | Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. |
W2:266.1 | from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your | Son forget his holy Source. Let not Your Son forget Your name is his. |
W2:266.1 | holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. Let not Your | Son forget Your name is his. |
W2:269.1 | what I look upon belongs to me, that nothing is except Your holy | Son. |
W2:269.2 | face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of Him Who is the | Son of God, of Him Who is our own Identity. |
W2:270.1 | in it than sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your | Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and |
W2:270.2 | His sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy | Son whom God created whole, the holy Son whom God created one. |
W2:270.2 | the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy | Son whom God created one. |
W2:WIC.1 | Christ is God's | Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with one |
W2:WIC.4 | when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every | Son of God, what could remain to keep things separate, for what |
W2:WIC.5 | or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His | Son. |
W2:271.1 | that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the | Son; Creator and creation unified. |
W2:272.1 | illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your | Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by |
W2:272.1 | by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God's | Son must be as You created him. |
W2:273.1 | nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His | Son. |
W2:273.2 | keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your | Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You. |
W2:274.1 | today I would let all things be as You created them and give Your | Son the honor due his sinlessness, the love of brother to his brother |
W2:274.1 | where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your | Son will know he is as You created him. |
W2:276.1 | What is the Word of God? “My | Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father |
W2:276.1 | pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father of the | Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His Son did not |
W2:276.1 | of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His | Son did not create with Him because in this His Son was born. Let us |
W2:276.1 | This the Word His Son did not create with Him because in this His | Son was born. Let us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny |
W2:277.1 | Your | Son is free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the |
W2:277.2 | believe in any laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the | Son of God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is |
W2:277.2 | faith in slavery or freedom. He is free, because he is his Father's | Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and God can |
W2:279.1 | The end of dreams is promised me because God's | Son is not abandoned by His Love. Only in dreams is there a time when |
W2:279.2 | Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the | Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave |
W2:280.1 | all. No Thought of God but is forever pure. Can I lay limits on the | Son of God, whose Father willed that he be limitless and like Himself |
W2:280.2 | Today let me give honor to Your | Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on |
W2:280.2 | for thus alone I find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the | Son You love and You created limitless. The honor that I give to him |
W2:WIHS.5 | gift by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God's beloved | Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing God when all |
W2:281.1 | Father, Your | Son is perfect. When he thinks that he is hurt in any way, it is |
W2:281.2 | me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not attack the | Son He loves, for what He loves is mine to love as well. |
W2:282.1 | And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the | Son He loves and Who remains my one Reality. |
W2:283.1 | Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the | Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is |
W2:283.1 | of You secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your | Son my true Identity, when You created everything that is? |
W2:285.2 | me rejoice in it and through forgiveness be restored to sanity. Your | Son is still as You created him. My holiness is part of me and also |
W2:287.2 | and futile substitutions for the truth? You are my only goal. Your | Son would be as You created him. What way but this could I expect to |
W2:289.2 | for Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your | Son to find the loveliness You planned to be the end of all his |
W2:WIRW.4 | is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over and God's | Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes perceive the sure reflection of |
W2:291.2 | know the way to You. But You are wholly certain. Father, lead Your | Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my forgiveness be |
W2:294.1 | I am a | Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God create the |
W2:294.1 | God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God's beloved | Son for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see death, |
W2:294.2 | My body, Father, cannot be Your | Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful or sinless, neither |
W2:298.2 | that would obscure my love for God, my Father, and His holy | Son. |
W2:WISC.4 | that they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon His | Son, His one creation and His only joy. |
W2:WISC.5 | can do God's Will and join together in its holy light. Behold, the | Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father's Love through |
W2:302.1 | and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the | Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining |
W2:303.1 | God's holy thoughts surround me and be still with me while Heaven's | Son is born. Let earthly sounds be quiet and the sights to which I am |
W2:303.2 | Your | Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I |
W2:303.2 | You have given me. He is but what I really am in truth. He is the | Son You love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is |
W2:303.2 | Christ that can be crucified. Safe in Your arms, let me receive Your | Son. |
W2:304.2 | 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 of Your Son as You |
W2:304.2 | Your holy Son that he may find again the memory of You and of Your | Son as You created him. |
W2:306.2 | but what You give. We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your | Son. But in Your Love, the gift of Christ is his. |
W2:307.1 | will for me and enter into peace where conflict is impossible. Your | Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the |
W2:309.1 | it is God's Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His | Son, whose will is limitless as is His own, can will no change in |
W2:310.1 | to me is not of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your | Son. This day will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your |
W2:310.1 | sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to Your holy | Son, the sign Your grace has come to me and that it is Your will that |
W2:WILJ.1 | Christ's Second Coming gives the | Son of God the gift to hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is |
W2:WILJ.2 | it. Bodies now are useless and will therefore fade away because the | Son of God is limitless. |
W2:WILJ.4 | is as merciful as every step in His appointed plan to bless His | Son and call him to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. |
W2:WILJ.4 | wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of pain the | Son whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation |
W2:WILJ.5 | This is God's Final Judgment: “You are still My holy | Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless |
W2:WILJ.5 | Therefore awaken and return to Me. I am your Father and you are My | Son.” |
W2:311.1 | and re-establish peace of mind by giving you God's Judgment of His | Son. |
W2:311.2 | Father, we wait with open mind today to hear Your Judgment of the | Son You love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge. And so we let |
W2:311.2 | And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You created as Your | Son must be. |
W2:313.1 | which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar to Your holy | Son, the Self with which I would identify. |
W2:315.2 | for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from every | Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now |
W2:317.2 | all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your | Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure |
W2:318.1 | In me, God's holy | Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the world. |
W2:318.1 | more or less importance than the rest? I am the means by which God's | Son is saved because salvation's purpose is to find the sinlessness |
W2:318.1 | thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am God's | Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as well. |
W2:320.1 | The | Son of God is limitless. There are no limits on his strength, his |
W2:320.2 | is no limit on Your Will. And so all power has been given to Your | Son. |
W2:WICR.2 | own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His | Son shares in creation and must therefore share in power to create. |
W2:WICR.3 | of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy | Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, |
W2:321.1 | But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy | Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the way to You |
W2:322.1 | And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God's only | Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One who still abides in Him |
W2:323.1 | Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved | Son—You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and |
W2:325.1 | thoughts 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 |
W2:326.1 | all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your will to have a | Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are |
W2:326.1 | earth will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory as the | Son of God. |
W2:330.2 | Father, Your | Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know |
W2:WIE.3 | The | Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of |
W2:WIE.4 | the price for faith in it is so immense that crucifixion of the | Son of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine and blood must |
W2:WIE.5 | will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His | Son, His dwelling-place, His joy, His love, completely His, |
W2:331.1 | How foolish, Father, to believe Your | Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his |
W2:333.2 | alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved | Son. |
W2:334.2 | I seek but the eternal. For Your | Son can be content with nothing less than this. What then can be his |
W2:335.2 | one with me and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your | Son I find the memory of You as well. |
W2:337.1 | Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His | Son, to know I am the Son my Father loves. |
W2:337.1 | from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son, to know I am the | Son my Father loves. |
W2:338.1 | of love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved | Son will be redeemed. |
W2:338.2 | me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to Your | Son. |
W2:340.1 | freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your | Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your |
W2:340.1 | achieve this day and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy | Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today. |
W2:340.2 | for anything but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His | Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who will |
W2:341.1 | Father, Your | Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so deep |
W2:341.1 | so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His | Son, a universe of thought completing Him. |
W2:342.1 | as You would have it be and as it is. Let me remember that I am Your | Son, and opening the door at last, forget illusions in the blazing |
W2:343.1 | given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I remain. Your | Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the |
W2:343.1 | the function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your | Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And everything is mine |
W2:344.1 | alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your | Son arises and returns to You. |
W2:344.2 | How close the ending of the dream of sin and the redemption of the | Son of God. |
W2:345.1 | Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your | Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love |
W2:346.1 | law of Love. And I would find the peace which You created for Your | Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory |
W2:347.2 | the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the | Son He loves. |
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 You created him. |
W2:350.2 | from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His | Son will be restored to us in the Reality of Love. |
W2:WAI.1 | I am God's | Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His |
W2:WAI.5 | we came and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the | Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he |
W2:351.1 | Who is my brother but Your holy | Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son |
W2:351.1 | holy Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a | Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this |
W2:351.1 | and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless as Your holy | Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting |
W2:354.1 | My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your | Son, beyond the reach of time and wholly free of every law but Yours. |
W2:354.1 | must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is Christ except Your | Son as You created Him? And what am I except the Christ in me? |
W2:355.1 | the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your | Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but |
W2:355.1 | forever. It is You I choose and my Identity along with You. Your | Son would be Himself and know You as his Father and Creator and his |
W2:356.1 | Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your | Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what seems to |
W2:356.1 | to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your | Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and |
W2:356.1 | who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your | Son because to call Your Name is but to call his own. |
W2:357.1 | and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy | Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother, then in me. Your Voice |
W2:357.1 | to hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your | Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You as |
W2:358.1 | let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your | Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but |
W2:360.1 | it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your | Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain |
W2:360.1 | In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. Your | Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness, and with this thought we |
W2:FL.5 | not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy | Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we |
W2:FL.5 | were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his | son because he failed to understand the truth? |
W2:FL.6 | His lessons through the Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt His | Son? Or would He rush to answer him and say, “This is My Son, and all |
W2:FL.6 | He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him and say, “This is My | Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for |
W2:361.1 | and answer me because He speaks for God, my Father, and His holy | Son. |

M:1.3 | of the course never changes. Its central theme is always, “God's | Son is guiltless, and in his innocence is his salvation.” It can be |
M:2.2 | of Him. The instant the idea of separation entered the Mind of God's | Son, in that same instant was God's Answer given. In time this |
M:3.1 | the relationship a holy relationship in which both can look upon the | Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a teacher of God |
M:3.4 | of all relationships to become holy. God is not mistaken in His | Son. |
M:4.12 | for the unchanging and unchangeable beyond appearances, and for the | Son of God and his Creator. How could they not succeed? They choose |
M:4.15 | for they have understood their evil thoughts came neither from God's | Son nor his Creator. Thus did they join their thoughts with Him Who |
M:4.19 | to keep for himself all things that are of God and therefore for His | Son. These are the things that belong to him. These he can give away |
M:4.22 | It implies acceptance of the word of God and His definition of His | Son. It is to them that faithfulness in the true sense is always |
M:4.23 | open-mindedness invites Him to come in. As condemnation judges the | Son of God as evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by |
M:4.25 | of God's teachers does not include those things which are the | Son of God's inheritance. Terms like love, sinlessness, perfection, |
M:5.2 | Sickness is a method, conceived in madness, for placing God's | Son on his Father's throne. God is seen as outside, fierce and |
M:5.2 | all power for Himself. Only by His death can He be conquered by His | Son. |
M:5.3 | does healing stand for? It symbolizes the defeat of God's | Son and the triumph of his Father over him. It represents the |
M:5.3 | him. It represents the ultimate defiance in a direct form which the | Son of God is forced to recognize. It stands for all that he would |
M:5.9 | symbols of salvation. They ask the patient for forgiveness for God's | Son in his own name. They stand for the alternative. With God's Word |
M:5.9 | they call to their brothers to turn away from death. Behold, you | Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you choose sickness in |
M:5.10 | in this brother who would so deceive himself as to believe God's | Son can suffer. And they remind him that he has not made himself and |
M:10.2 | “bad.” It is the only judgment there is, and it is only one: “God's | Son is guiltless, and sin does not exist.” |
M:12.1 | This One, sanctified and redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the | Son of God. He who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees |
M:12.2 | Thus does the | son of man become the Son of God. It is not really a change; it is a |
M:12.2 | Thus does the son of man become the | Son of God. It is not really a change; it is a change of mind. |
M:13.6 | sense that is true, for you hold dear the things that crucify God's | Son. And it is the course's aim to set him free. But do not be |
M:13.8 | for He has need of teachers. What other way is there to save His | Son? |
M:15.1 | lies across the world that everyone may hear this judgment of the | Son of God: |
M:16.8 | good enough for God's teacher, because it is not enough for God's | Son. |
M:17.2 | chosen for himself. And in this gift is his judgment upon the holy | Son of God. |
M:17.7 | to kill. Here is salvation now. An angry Father pursues His guilty | Son. Kill or be killed, for here alone is choice. Beyond this there |
M:18.2 | Through them, the Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the | Son of God. Now He can remind the world of sinlessness, the one |
M:19.1 | only just interpretations and laying all injustices aside. If God's | Son were fairly judged, there would be no need for salvation. The |
M:21.3 | it to him, as he requests. Herein lie hell and Heaven. The sleeping | Son of God has but this power left to him. It is enough. His words do |
M:22.7 | to set limits upon Him, because it is not up to them to judge His | Son. And to judge His Son is to limit his Father. Both are equally |
M:22.7 | Him, because it is not up to them to judge His Son. And to judge His | Son is to limit his Father. Both are equally meaningless. Yet this |
M:22.7 | does he receive Atonement, for he withdraws his judgment from the | Son of God, accepting him as God created him. No longer does he stand |
M:22.7 | it should be withheld. Now can he say with God, “This is my beloved | Son, created perfect and forever so.” |
M:23.2 | may recur to others, but never to this one. He has become the risen | Son of God. He has overcome death, because he has accepted life. He |
M:23.3 | Jesus, you are remembering God. The whole relationship of the | Son to the Father lies in him. His part in the Sonship is also yours, |
M:23.3 | it is likely that he will fail to keep them. Can God fail His | Son? And can one who is one with God be unlike Him? Who transcends |
M:26.1 | be reached directly, for there is no distance between Him and His | Son. His awareness is in everyone's memory, and His Word is written |
M:27.3 | enough to show it cannot co-exist with God. It holds an image of the | Son of God in which he is “laid to rest” in devastation's arms, where |
M:27.5 | The “reality” of death is firmly rooted in the belief that God's | Son is a body. And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real. |
M:27.7 | what is the end of death? Nothing but this: the realization that the | Son of God is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not |
M:28.1 | other wishes, and all other concerns. It is the single desire of the | Son for the Father. |
M:28.4 | time of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no death. The | Son of God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden |
M:28.6 | is. And in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy | Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard God's Word and |
M:29.6 | him still. And how much more than this does your Father love His | Son? |
M:29.7 | harm, your dreams of danger and selected “wrongs.” God knows but His | Son, and as he was created, so he is. In confidence I place you in |
M:29.8 | the world stands silent in the grace you bring from Him. You are the | Son He loves, and it is given you to be the means through which His |

Tx:4.100 | He does know. He knows it in His own Being and its experience of His | Son's experience. The constant going out of His love is blocked when |
Tx:8.48 | the mind of God's Son if they so choose. This choice does make the | Son's function unknown to him, but never to his Creator. And because |
Tx:9.102 | His Son will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His | Son's creation, fixed forever in the Mind of God. To know that is |

Tx:15.108 | communication is restored, and He joins us in the celebration of His | Son's creation. |
Tx:21.27 | The | Son's creations are like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the Son |

Tx:23.48 | who see God's Son a body. For it is not the body that is like the | Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of Life. How |
Tx:23.49 | is the means for God's extension, and what is His must be His | Son's as well. Either the Father and the Son are murderers or neither |
Tx:24.71 | what he wants. Such is the travesty on God's creation. For as His | Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His |
Tx:25.24 | is real at all. Only because His Son believes it is, and from His | Son's belief He could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could |
Tx:25.24 | could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could not enter His | Son's insanity with him, but He could be sure His sanity went there |
Tx:25.79 | adds to the supply. For God is fair. He does not fight against His | Son's reluctance to perceive salvation as a gift from Him. Yet would |
Tx:26.65 | as He created you or to make use of what He gave to answer all His | Son's mistakes and set him free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the |
Tx:28.33 | aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to come and bridge His | Son's returning to Himself. |

song (38) | ||
Tx:12.52 | as I am calling you to join with me. Every voice has a part in the | song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the |
Tx:17.43 | of hate in praise of its maker, so is the holy relationship a happy | song of praise to the Redeemer of relationships. |
Tx:17.52 | Throughout the Sonship is the | song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined |
Tx:20.12 | all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no fear in love. The | song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was never |
Tx:21.8 | forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a | song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you |
Tx:21.8 | in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the whole | song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, attached |
Tx:21.8 | But you remember from just this little part how lovely was the | song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, and how you loved |
Tx:21.9 | is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you remember an ancient | song you knew so long ago and held more dear than any melody you |
Tx:21.11 | which can show you this and not the body. You know the ancient | song and know it well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this |
Tx:21.12 | And now the blind can see, for that same | song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as |
Tx:21.12 | The blindness which they made will not withstand the memory of this | song. And they will look upon the vision of the Son of God, |
Tx:21.47 | it hears in terror, the other part hears as the sweetest music—the | song it longed to hear since first the ego came into your minds. The |
Tx:21.47 | ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its strength. The | song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world, brings to |
Tx:24.15 | loving praise of what you are, is all you listen to. And that vast | song of honor and of love for what you are seems silent and unheard |
Tx:24.46 | offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The | song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all |
Tx:26.4 | he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in such a world. Nor can his | song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to |
Tx:26.4 | at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede before his | song and sight of him replace the body's eyes. |
Tx:26.6 | His task of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the | song your brother sings to you. And let the world recede and take the |
Tx:26.6 | offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no | song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given him to |
Tx:26.27 | universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is Heaven but a | song of gratitude and love and praise by everything created to the |
Tx:26.29 | truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their | song of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be complete, |
Tx:26.29 | you to be complete, so will you go with them. For no one hears the | song of Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its power to the |
Tx:26.29 | of Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its power to the | song and makes it sweeter still. And each one joins the singing at |
Tx:26.29 | to be its own. And what was tiny then has soared into a magnitude of | song in which the universe has joined with but a single voice. This |
Tx:26.31 | confidence, holding each other's hand and keeping step to Heaven's | song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander off, alone |
Tx:26.34 | ago, for such a tiny interval of time that not one note in Heaven's | song was missed. |
Tx:29.68 | began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the | song of Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness |
Tx:29.68 | abides forever deep within the Son of God. And when he hears this | song again, he knows he never heard it not. And where is time, when |
Tx:31.95 | Will, so will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's | song will echo through the world with every choice they make. For we |
Tx:31.96 | what my brothers are. And as each one elects to join with me, the | song of thanks from earth to Heaven grows from tiny scattered threads |
W1:123.4 | thankful eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the | song of thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which God has willed |
W1:164.1 | yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He hears the | song of Heaven and the Voice of God more clear, more meaningful, more |
W1:196.9 | Salvation's | song can certainly be heard in the idea we practice for today. If it |
W1:198.6 | Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His words have heard the | song of Heaven, for these are the words in which all will merge as |
W2:WS.5 | salvation 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 |
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 Who |
M:4.16 | His way because God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy is their | song of thanks. And Christ looks down on them in thanks as well. His |

Tx:6.9 | you are teaching persecution. This is not a lesson which the | Sons of God should want to teach if they are to realize their own |
Tx:6.15 | assault would not be so extreme. I will with God that none of His | Sons should suffer. |

Tx:6.32 | God created His | Sons by extending His Thought and retaining the extensions of His |
Tx:6.64 | in perfect equality. Only one equal gift can be offered to the equal | Sons of God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and nothing |

Tx:7.96 | You have not failed to add to the inheritance of the | Sons of God and thus have not failed to secure it for yourselves. If |
Tx:7.113 | will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God includes all His | Sons and their children, who are like the Sons as they are like the |
Tx:7.113 | of God includes all His Sons and their children, who are like the | Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you |
Tx:7.113 | who are like the Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the | Sons of God, and you will know all creation. |
Tx:8.19 | him you will find yourself or lose sight of yourself. Whenever two | Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. Do not |
Tx:8.31 | yours, because yours is as powerful as mine. If it were not so, the | Sons of God would be unequal. All things are possible through our |
Tx:8.32 | by tyranny of any kind, and the perfect equality of all God's | Sons cannot be recognized through the dominion of one will over |
Tx:8.32 | be recognized through the dominion of one will over another. God's | Sons are equal in will, all being the Will of their Father. This is |
Tx:8.33 | to Him, it is the gift of freedom, which is His Will for all His | Sons. By offering freedom, you will be free. |
Tx:8.34 | Freedom is the only gift you can offer to God's | Sons, being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. |
Tx:8.38 | unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union of God and His holy | Sons! All glory lies in them because they are united. The miracles we |
Tx:8.42 | world can add nothing to the power and the glory of God and His holy | Sons, but it can blind the Sons to the Father if they behold it. You |
Tx:8.42 | power and the glory of God and His holy Sons, but it can blind the | Sons to the Father if they behold it. You cannot behold the world and |
Tx:8.43 | else, but because nothing else is worthy of him. What God and His | Sons create is eternal, and in this and this only is their joy. |
Tx:8.48 | be contradicted by thought. God does not contradict Himself, and His | Sons, who are like Him, cannot contradict themselves or Him. Yet |
Tx:8.50 | Our creations are as holy as we are, and we are the | Sons of God Himself and therefore as holy as He is. Through our |
Tx:8.50 | Whom God has joined cannot be separated, and God has joined all His | Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from your life and your being? |
Tx:8.54 | Being the communication link between God and His separated | Sons, the Holy Spirit interprets everything you have made in the |
Tx:8.100 | deny the Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it in His | Sons? |
Tx:8.112 | alone? Could you hear His answer except as He answers all of God's | Sons? Hear of your brother what you would have me hear of you, for |
Tx:8.114 | beyond yourself but toward yourself. Hear only God's Answer in His | Sons, and you are answered. |
Tx:9.74 | do worship them. The idols are nothing, but their worshipers are the | Sons of God in sickness. |
Tx:9.105 | because you believe that the sick images you perceive are the | Sons of God. |
Tx:10.68 | There is no order of difficulty in miracles because all of God's | Sons are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The |
Tx:10.83 | Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's | Sons have nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any Son |
Tx:12.15 | you did not. You would rather be slaves of the crucifixion than | Sons of God in redemption. For your individual death is more valued |
Tx:13.30 | You cannot enter into real relationships with any of God's | Sons unless you love them all and equally. Love is not special. If |
Tx:24.14 | made His Son like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” | sons are many, never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of |
Tx:24.72 | And thus are two | sons made, and both appear to walk this earth without a meeting-place |
Tx:25.59 | function that has been assigned to you in God's Own plan to show His | Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the same. And that in |
Tx:26.66 | each one of us can save us all. There is no difference among the | Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies will save them all, |
Tx:29.60 | God has not many | sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be given less? In |
Tx:31.95 | Father, for these holy ones who are my brothers as they are Your | Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as sure that they will come to |
W2:I.9 | more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and we who are God's | Sons are safely home, where He would have us be. |
W2:247.2 | So would I look on everyone today. My brothers are Your | Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them all to me as part of |
W2:255.1 | wills for me, accepting it as mine and giving it to all my Father's | Sons, along with me. |
W2:260.2 | indeed are we because our Source can know no sin. And we who are His | Sons are like each other and alike to Him. |
W2:263.2 | and walk together to our Father's house as brothers and the holy | Sons of God. |
W2:266.1 | Father, You gave me all Your | Sons to be my saviors and my counselors in sight—the bearers of |
W2:272.2 | and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the | Sons of God, could be content with dreams when Heaven can be chosen |
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 |
W2:WISC.4 | In this equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in which all | Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father |
W2:WICR.4 | We are creation—we the | Sons of God. We seem to be discrete and unaware of our eternal unity |
W2:359.1 | misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners of the holy | Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. |
M:4.2 | All differences among the | Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be said that |

Tx:1.59 | becomes distorted. When this occurs, the whole family of God, or the | Sonship, is impaired in its relationships. Ultimately, every member |
Tx:1.68 | Miracles are affirmations of | Sonship, which is a state of completion and abundance. Whatever is |
Tx:1.80 | the other. My devotion to my brothers has placed me in charge of the | Sonship, which I can render complete only to the extent to which I |
Tx:1.82 | the recognition of the true equality of all the members of the | Sonship appears to involve almost endless time. However, the sudden |
Tx:1.88 | recognizes that he has everything, individual contributions to the | Sonship will no longer be necessary. When the Atonement has been |
Tx:1.106 | the earth, your release is not complete. Complete restoration of the | Sonship is the only true goal of the miracle-minded. |
Tx:2.21 | mentioned before, is “are of one mind or will.” When the will of the | Sonship and the Father are one, their perfect accord is Heaven. |
Tx:2.40 | This serves to bring them into closer and closer accord with the | Sonship, but the Sonship itself is a perfect creation, and perfection |
Tx:2.40 | bring them into closer and closer accord with the Sonship, but the | Sonship itself is a perfect creation, and perfection is not a matter |
Tx:2.101 | are His Sons, then every Soul must be an integral part of the whole | Sonship. You do not find the concept that the whole is greater than |
Tx:2.102 | The | Sonship in its oneness does transcend the sum of its parts. However, |
Tx:2.102 | conflict cannot ultimately be resolved until all the parts of the | Sonship have returned. Only then can the meaning of wholeness, in the |
Tx:2.103 | Any part of the | Sonship can believe in error or incompleteness if he so elects. |
Tx:4.86 | here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the whole | Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as |
Tx:4.91 | undertaken successfully by those who disengage themselves from the | Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me. God will |
Tx:5.2 | is why it makes no difference to what part or by what part of the | Sonship the healing is done. Every part benefits and benefits equally. |
Tx:5.3 | or they you. The light is so strong that it radiates throughout the | Sonship and returns thanks to the Father for radiating His joy upon |
Tx:5.5 | oneness and become glad. This gladness calls to every part of the | Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God Himself go out into them |
Tx:5.13 | The Holy Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the | Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are like |
Tx:5.20 | integrity of the mind. When the Atonement is complete and the whole | Sonship is healed, there will be no call to return, but what God |
Tx:5.28 | for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the | Sonship cannot be as one. What better vocation could there be for any |
Tx:5.29 | As we share this goal we increase its power to attract the whole | Sonship and to bring it back into the Oneness in which it was |
Tx:5.39 | is because you have no meaning apart from your rightful place in the | Sonship and the rightful place of the Sonship [is] God. This is your |
Tx:5.39 | your rightful place in the Sonship and the rightful place of the | Sonship [is] God. This is your life, your eternity, and yourself. It |
Tx:5.50 | in this world to listen to one voice. If you are part of God and the | Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the “self” the ego sees. |
Tx:5.50 | “self” the ego sees. Every loving thought held in any part of the | Sonship belongs to every part. It is shared because it is loving. |
Tx:5.53 | awareness that to share them is to strengthen them. The union of the | Sonship is its protection. The ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom |
Tx:5.53 | and is undone in the presence of the attraction of the parts of the | Sonship, which hear the call of the Holy Spirit to be as One. |
Tx:5.57 | God's ideas withhold it from the Kingdom. The joint will of all the | Sonship is the only creator that can create like the Father, because |
Tx:5.77 | their thoughts from the ability to produce fear anywhere in the | Sonship. “The wicked shall perish” is merely a statement of fact if |
Tx:5.81 | Voice was in me as it is in you, speaking for patience towards the | Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you need to learn now is |
Tx:6.5 | told you that the crucifixion was the last foolish journey that the | Sonship need take and that it should mean release from fear to anyone |
Tx:6.16 | the reawakening of every Son of God is necessary to enable the | Sonship to know its wholeness. Only this is knowledge. |
Tx:6.21 | Judas was my brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the | Sonship as myself. Was it likely that I would condemn him when I was |
Tx:6.57 | extending outward, though not His completeness, is blocked when the | Sonship does not communicate with Him as one. So He thought, “My |
Tx:6.82 | you must be critical, since your salvation is critical to the whole | Sonship. We said before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and must |
Tx:6.92 | to is measurable. On the contrary, unless it transfers to the whole | Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was created by the |
Tx:6.92 | the learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the whole | Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its |
Tx:7.2 | are not yours. But yours are like His. He created the | Sonship, and you increase it. You have the power to add to the |
Tx:7.36 | undo the belief in differences, being the only way of perceiving the | Sonship without this belief. This perception is therefore in accord |
Tx:7.38 | fear. Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the | Sonship, being what the Sonship is. By your awakening to it, you are |
Tx:7.38 | this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship, being what the | Sonship is. By your awakening to it, you are merely forgetting what |
Tx:7.43 | and unstable, but at times he is offering something to the | Sonship, and the only thing the Sonship can accept is healing. When |
Tx:7.43 | he is offering something to the Sonship, and the only thing the | Sonship can accept is healing. When the so-called “healing” works, |
Tx:7.53 | This light will shine back upon you and on the whole | Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will accept it |
Tx:7.53 | is your proper gift to God. He will accept it and give it to the | Sonship, because it is acceptable to Him and therefore to His Sons. |
Tx:7.53 | calls upon you to love God and His creations. You can appreciate the | Sonship only as one. This is part of the Law of Creation and |
Tx:7.54 | Although you can love the | Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It is |
Tx:7.58 | mind which made it knew itself. And if it recognized any part of the | Sonship, it would know itself. |
Tx:7.69 | this means anything at all. Being a perfect accomplishment, the | Sonship can only accomplish perfectly, extending the joy in which it |
Tx:7.70 | denial is as total as love. It is as impossible to deny part of the | Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible to love it |
Tx:7.73 | in anyone, or you have accepted it as you. All illusions about the | Sonship are dispelled together, as they were made together. Teach no |
Tx:7.73 | as long as perception lasts. And perception will last until the | Sonship knows itself as whole. |
Tx:7.88 | so that all their effects will vanish from your minds and from the | Sonship as a whole. |
Tx:7.91 | wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the | Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the |
Tx:7.92 | in its own, as it is included in God. The power of the whole | Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the Soul's own fullness, |
Tx:7.95 | since every creation belongs to everyone, being created for the | Sonship as a whole. |
Tx:7.110 | returns to the Kingdom with this lesson in his heart has healed the | Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this lesson has |
Tx:7.112 | who created them with you. We said before that only the whole | Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the whole |
Tx:7.112 | Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the whole | Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by |
Tx:8.23 | you and your brothers from every imprisoning thought any part of the | Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no power because they are |
Tx:8.27 | in darkness until God's Will was done completely by any part of the | Sonship. When this was done, it was perfectly accomplished by all. |
Tx:8.27 | accomplished? My mission was simply to unite the will of the | Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's |
Tx:8.36 | is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided will of the | Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, |
Tx:8.42 | We are the joint will of the | Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by |
Tx:8.56 | which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the | Sonship, you will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use |
Tx:9.34 | God's light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the | Sonship must create as one, you remember creation whenever you |
Tx:9.35 | your reality, as you were created witnesses to God's. Yet when the | Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness, it will be known by |
Tx:9.75 | His power through you? Remember that it does not matter where in the | Sonship He is accepted. He is always accepted for all, and when your |
Tx:9.75 | mind receives Him, the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the | Sonship. Heal your brothers simply by accepting God for them. |
Tx:9.87 | The | Sonship cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it |
Tx:9.87 | because to perceive it that way is not to perceive it at all. If the | Sonship is one, it is one in all respects. Oneness cannot be divided. |
Tx:9.99 | you have not answered His. He calls to you from every part of the | Sonship because of His love for His Son. If you hear His message, He |
Tx:9.104 | must learn to see him to learn of his reality. And as part of the | Sonship, that is how you must see yourself to learn of yours. |
Tx:10.5 | learned your need of healing. Would you bring anything else to the | Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? For in this |
Tx:10.17 | you perceive it, lies the denial of God's Fatherhood and your | Sonship. |
Tx:10.30 | the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole | Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you |
Tx:10.31 | Never forget that the | Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As God's |
Tx:10.31 | Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation, for the | Sonship is your Soul. As God's creation, it is yours, and belonging |
Tx:10.38 | or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the whole | Sonship rests. |
Tx:10.68 | God's Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the | Sonship, and you will have a part in the redemption as valuable as |
Tx:11.15 | that all power is of God. You can remember this for all the | Sonship. Do not allow your brother not to remember, for his |
Tx:11.41 | be bought nor sold. There can be no disinherited parts of the | Sonship, for God is whole, and all His extensions are like Him. |
Tx:13.30 | all and equally. Love is not special. If you single out part of the | Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all your |
Tx:13.73 | or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the whole | Sonship, directed in and out and influencing a constellation larger |
Tx:15.46 | on your own terms. We said before that to limit love to part of the | Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships and thus make them |
Tx:15.47 | which salvation lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the | Sonship can give you more than others? The past has taught you this. |
Tx:15.54 | because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant, the | Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it becomes one to |
Tx:15.54 | joined in Christ are in no way separate. For Christ is the Self the | Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with Christ. |
Tx:15.82 | Think but an instant on this: God gave the | Sonship to you to ensure your perfect creation. This was His gift, |
Tx:16.9 | What you give through Him is for the whole | Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He will |
Tx:16.10 | not do them. Why should you worry how the miracle extends to all the | Sonship when you do not understand the miracle itself? One attribute |
Tx:16.13 | and share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the | Sonship as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the |
Tx:16.23 | learned what you have taught show you that you do not perceive the | Sonship as one? And does it not also show you that you do not regard |
Tx:16.44 | ego would have you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty, leaving the | Sonship open to attack and unprotected from it. The special love |
Tx:17.52 | Throughout the | Sonship is the song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your choice. |
Tx:17.52 | it has come to join you together in a relationship in which all the | Sonship is together blessed. |
Tx:17.56 | because the goal is sure. And you will share the gladness of the | Sonship that it is so. As you begin to recognize and accept the gifts |
Tx:17.56 | And learning this, you will have also learned how to release all the | Sonship and offer it in gladness and thanksgiving to Him Who gave you |
Tx:18.11 | Heaven is restored to all the | Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, whole |
Tx:18.11 | to all the Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the | Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has entered |
Tx:18.13 | which has no limits and reaches out to every broken fragment of the | Sonship with healing and uniting comfort. This is offered you in your |
Tx:19.37 | As this peace extends from deep inside yourselves to embrace all the | Sonship and give it rest, it will encounter many obstacles. Some of |
Tx:22.54 | is and here will you accept Atonement. And in your healing is the | Sonship healed because your wills are joined. |

Tx:4.8 | You believe that if you allow no change to enter into your ego, your | Soul will find peace. This profound confusion is possible only if one |

Tx:4.48 | It should be apparent to you by now why the ego regards the | Soul as its “enemy.” The ego arose from the separation, and its |
Tx:4.48 | on your continuing belief in the separation. Having reduced the | Soul impulses to the unconscious, the ego has to offer you some sort |
Tx:4.48 | because it is its own. Against this sense of temporary existence the | Soul offers you the knowledge of permanence and unshakable being. No |
Tx:4.54 | “to have” and “to be” are different, but they are identical to the | Soul. The Soul knows that you both have everything and are |
Tx:4.54 | and “to be” are different, but they are identical to the Soul. The | Soul knows that you both have everything and are everything. Any |
Tx:4.57 | this need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some | Soul that God created and are perceiving images your ego makes in a |
Tx:4.88 | it or controlling it or punishing it. Remember that the ego and the | Soul do not know each other. The separated mind cannot maintain the |
Tx:4.93 | conditioning you to associate misery with the ego and joy with the | Soul. You have conditioned yourselves the other way around. A far |
Tx:4.96 | ways to all stimuli which it perceives as related. In contrast the | Soul reacts in the same way to everything it knows is true and does |
Tx:4.98 | mind is in communication with everything that is real, including the | Soul. To whatever extent you permit this state to be curtailed, you |
Tx:5.5 | mind cannot have what it does not choose to be. Remember that the | Soul knows no difference between “being” and “having.” The higher |
Tx:5.5 | and “having.” The higher mind thinks according to the laws which the | Soul obeys and therefore honors only the laws of God. To Him, getting |
Tx:5.5 | getting is meaningless and giving is all. Having everything, the | Soul holds everything by giving it and thus creates as the Father |
Tx:5.25 | “What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own | Soul?” That means that if he listens to the wrong voice, he has lost |
Tx:5.25 | that if he listens to the wrong voice, he has lost sight of his | Soul. He cannot lose it, but he can not know it. It is therefore lost |

Tx:5.37 | the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an idea of God, so the | Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief of the ego, so the |
Tx:5.38 | between the interpretations of the ego and the knowledge of the | Soul. His ability to deal with symbols enables Him to work against |
Tx:5.94 | joyous it is because you have reacted with a lack of love to some | Soul which God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you become |
Tx:7.91 | from God. Selfishness is of the ego, but self-fullness is of the | Soul, because that is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is the part |
Tx:7.91 | Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the | Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the Soul. To the ego, |
Tx:7.91 | the ego and the Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the | Soul. To the ego, this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if |
Tx:7.91 | responds as if it were the part that is being sided against. To the | Soul, this is truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot |
Tx:7.92 | The | Soul knows that the consciousness of all its brothers is included in |
Tx:7.93 | The | Soul yearns to share its being as its Creator did. Created by |
Tx:7.93 | no more interfere with their reality than your unawareness of your | Soul can interfere with its being. |
Tx:7.94 | inevitable. That is why there is perfect peace in the Kingdom. Every | Soul is fulfilling its function, and only complete fulfillment is |
Tx:8.45 | those which are created like His? Your creations love you as your | Soul loves your Father for the gift of creation. There is no other |
Tx:8.61 | a means by which the part of the mind you have separated from your | Soul can reach beyond its distortions and return to the Soul. The |
Tx:8.61 | from your Soul can reach beyond its distortions and return to the | Soul. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, |

Tx:1.38 | Revelation unites | Souls directly with God. Miracles unite [Souls] directly with each |
Tx:1.41 | in proper alignment. This places the spirit at the center, where | Souls can communicate directly. |
Tx:1.77 | one. This is the case only when a Soul stands before its Creator. | Souls are perfect creations and experience awe only in the Presence |
Tx:2.5 | the creation, God projected His creative ability from Himself to the | Souls He created, and He also imbued them with the same loving will |
Tx:2.20 | God and the | Souls He created are completely dependent on each other. The creation |
Tx:2.20 | Soul has already been perfectly accomplished, but the creation by | Souls has not. God created Souls so He could depend on them because |
Tx:2.20 | accomplished, but the creation by Souls has not. God created | Souls so He could depend on them because He created them perfectly. |
Tx:2.38 | The Atonement actually began long before the crucifixion. Many | Souls offered their efforts on behalf of the separated ones, but they |
Tx:2.51 | entirely worthy of receiving perfection. God is lonely without His | Souls, and they are lonely without Him. Men must learn to perceive |
Tx:2.101 | It should especially be noted that God has only one Son. If all the | Souls God created are His Sons, then every Soul must be an integral |
Tx:3.48 | God and the | Souls He created remain in surety, and therefore know that no |

Tx:3.67 | His Children, but only because He knows that it makes them unhappy. | Souls were given their true Authorship, but men preferred to be |
Tx:3.73 | as a force in combat with God, battling Him for possession of the | Souls He created. He deceives by lies and builds kingdoms of his own |
Tx:3.73 | than repels them, and they are seen as willing to “sell” him their | Souls in return for gifts they recognize are of no real worth. |
Tx:3.76 | for self-creating. This is the only sense in which God and His | Souls are not co-creators. The belief that they are is implicit in |
Tx:3.77 | you are images of your own creation. Your minds are split with your | Souls on this point, and there is no resolution while you believe the |
Tx:3.79 | since then, but nothing else has happened. That is why your | Souls are still in peace, even though your minds are in conflict. You |
Tx:4.12 | because of the nature of yours. Egos can clash in any situation, but | Souls cannot clash at all. If you perceive a teacher as merely a |
Tx:4.17 | it. Listen only to God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the | Souls He created. |
Tx:4.19 | egos you can do nothing to save yourselves or others, but of your | Souls you can do everything for the salvation of both. Humility is a |
Tx:4.27 | real part of himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His | Souls: with love, protection, and great charity. The reaction of man |
Tx:4.49 | conceive of the real relationship which exists between God and His | Souls because of the hatred you have for the self you have made. You |
Tx:5.20 | I learned, and God's Sons are as equal as learners as they are as | Souls. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is the call to Atonement or the |
sound (28) | ||
Tx:5.19 | to joy. This call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at its | sound. That is why you can choose to listen to two voices within you. |
Tx:9.16 | can account for the reactions, whether they place the ego in a very | sound position as the guide for yours. It seems absurd to have to |
Tx:9.29 | that the laws you are obeying work. “The good is what works” is a | sound, though insufficient, statement. Only the good can work. |
Tx:12.76 | so was it the Father's gift to me, given me through His Spirit. The | sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy Son, |
Tx:14.53 | though careful to conceal this fact behind a lot of words which | sound impressive but which lack any consistent sense when they are |
Tx:18.60 | or anticipated. The “something” can be anything and anywhere—a | sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and even a general idea without |
Tx:19.55 | table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a quiet garden where no | sound but singing and a softly joyous whispering is ever heard. This |
Tx:22.13 | language the body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or | sound that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the other saw a |
Tx:24.17 | truth: you will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no | sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the love |
Tx:24.42 | can be seen and heard and where he will see nothing and there is no | sound to hear. |

Tx:27.55 | it has a different name, and so it seems to answer to a different | sound. Except for this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. Call |
Tx:27.59 | worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are but a single | sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help within a |
Tx:28.51 | upon a world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make no | sound. Yet are there other sounds and other sights which can be seen |
Tx:29.31 | echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no | sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and |
Tx:30.47 | exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no | sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and |

Tx:10.2 | in which you made your own father. Make no mistake about this. It | sounds insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego |

Tx:7.56 | means that the ego attacks what is preserving it, and this must be a | source of extreme anxiety. That is why the ego never knows what it is |
Tx:7.56 | is perfectly logical but clearly insane. The ego draws upon the one | source which is totally inimical to its existence for its existence. |
Tx:7.56 | existence for its existence. Fearful of perceiving the power of this | source, it is forced to depreciate it. This threatens its own |

Tx:10.2 | can the ego have made you? The authority problem remains the only | source of perceived conflict, because the ego was made out of the |
Tx:10.40 | Be not afraid, therefore, for what you will be looking at is the | source of fear, but you have surely learned by now that fear is not |
Tx:10.43 | system without fear, for it cannot have any effects if its | source is not true. Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one |
Tx:10.44 | and the way to undo its results is merely to recognize that their | source is not natural, being out of accord with your true nature. We |
Tx:10.56 | ends at its beginning, and no thought system transcends its | source. Yet reasoning without meaning cannot demonstrate anything, |
Tx:11.29 | this. Even if he is fully aware of anxiety, he does not perceive its | source as his own ego identification, and he always tries to handle |
Tx:11.34 | in your own mind and nowhere else, you will at last have placed its | source, and where it began it must end. For in this same place also |
Tx:11.37 | inevitable because the ego is part of your mind, and because of its | source, the ego is not wholly split off, or it could not be believed |

Tx:13.20 | You are accustomed to the notion that the mind can see the | source of pain where it is not. The doubtful service of displacement |
Tx:13.20 | it is not. The doubtful service of displacement is to hide the real | source of your guilt and keep from your awareness the full perception |
Tx:13.20 | insane. Displacement always is maintained by the illusion that the | source, from which attention is diverted, must be true and must be |
Tx:13.20 | underneath awareness, provided that they are not the deeper | source to which they bear no real relationship at all. |
Tx:13.22 | understand what loving is. Their main concern is to perceive the | source of guilt outside themselves, beyond their own control. |
Tx:13.23 | When you maintain that you are guilty but the | source lies in the past, you are not looking inward. The past is not |
Tx:13.51 | will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by him, for the | Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the world to |
Tx:13.79 | that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne of God is not a | source of guilt. What cannot happen can have no effects to fear. Be |

Tx:15.2 | One | source of perceived discouragement from which you suffer is your |
Tx:15.18 | attempt to support it and uphold its weakness, do not perceive the | Source of strength. In the holy instant, you will unchain all your |
Tx:15.46 | to save you. How, then, could guilt not enter? For separation is the | source of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to believe you |
Tx:15.64 | is gone and with it goes the whole basis for exclusion. Without its | source, exclusion vanishes. And this permits your Source and that of |
Tx:15.64 | Without its source, exclusion vanishes. And this permits your | Source and that of all your brothers to replace it in your awareness. |
Tx:15.83 | to free you of what He does not understand. And because of the | Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to |

Tx:17.20 | it was made. The ego seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their | source, but where they were not made. And thus it seeks to guarantee |
Tx:17.21 | His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He seeks and finds the | source of problems where it is and there undoes it. And with each |

Tx:18.94 | the source of healing, but it is the messenger of love and not its | Source. Here you are led that God Himself can take the final step |
Tx:18.94 | take, transports you to something completely different. Here is the | Source of light—nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but |
Tx:19.8 | it must be healed. The result of an idea is never separate from its | source. The idea of separation produced the body and remains |
Tx:19.16 | way except by the mind that thought it. For it remains joined to its | source, which is its jailor or its liberator, according to which it |
Tx:19.33 | still because you do not realize that its foundation has gone. Its | source has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a little |
Tx:19.57 | yours; no better means for communication of salvation, but not its | Source. No one can die for anyone, and death does not atone for sin. |
Tx:19.61 | is the focus of the perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the | source of the idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers |
Tx:19.79 | death, exchanging it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its | source. And death is the result of the thought we call the ego as |
Tx:19.88 | When anything seems to you to be a | source of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes |
Tx:19.88 | Remember then that neither sign nor symbol should be confused with | source, for they must stand for something other than themselves. |
Tx:19.88 | it not. Remember the holy Presence of the One given to you to be the | Source of judgment. Give it to Him to judge for you, and say: |
Tx:19.90 | simply, you would remember your Father. The Creator of life, the | Source of everything that lives, the Father of the universe and of |
Tx:20.28 | the Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming | source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without illusion |
Tx:20.29 | where its results are alien and can no more enter than can their | source. And therein lies your need to see your brother sinless. In |
Tx:20.30 | for those who follow them to suffer the results of any other | source. |
Tx:20.58 | the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same | Source as does His purpose. Being so simple and direct, this course |
Tx:20.72 | that could save you, you will never see. Your holy relationship, the | source of your salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most |

Tx:21.41 | to your desire that it be there to see. This merely seems to be the | source of fear. |

Tx:21.54 | same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this same | Source as is the answer, must therefore be together and the same. |
Tx:22.20 | eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the | source of an idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so |
Tx:22.20 | will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its | source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was given to the |
Tx:22.59 | the power that God has given Him to make each little gift of love a | source of healing for everyone. Each little gift you offer to the |
Tx:23.41 | recognize, then it must follow that you do not always recognize the | source of pain. Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its |
Tx:24.31 | Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the | Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect |
Tx:24.40 | in what it sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek for is a | source of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is true for you. Nor |
Tx:26.27 | a song of gratitude and love and praise by everything created to the | Source of its creation? The holiest of altars is set where once sin |
Tx:26.49 | is real and dwells where all reality must be. Ideas leave not their | source, and their effects but seem to be apart from them. Ideas are |
Tx:26.49 | not outside at all but an effect of what is in and has not left its | source. |
Tx:26.59 | belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave their | source made real and meaningful. And from this error does the world |
Tx:26.59 | without understanding why. Effects are seen as separate from their | source and seem to be beyond you to control or to prevent. What is |
Tx:26.60 | of Him, and this must still be true because ideas leave not their | source. Such is creation's law—that each idea the mind conceives |
Tx:26.60 | make it be what it is not. And to believe ideas can leave their | source is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For never |
Tx:26.70 | come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is the | source of fear. Salvation would wipe out the space you see between |

Tx:28.61 | not sick if you deny yourself your wholeness and your health, the | Source of help, the Call to healing, and the Call to heal? Your |
Tx:28.66 | gap can interpose itself between the safety of this shelter and its | Source? From here the body can be seen as what it is and neither less |
Tx:29.54 | Yet it is still a thought and cannot leave the mind that is its | source. Nor is its form apart from the idea it represents. All forms |
Tx:29.55 | something living to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere, for its | source abides within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this |
Tx:30.40 | is the purpose of an idol—that you will not look beyond it to the | source of the belief that you are incomplete. Only if you had sinned |

W1:5.10 | Apply the idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the | source of the upset as you perceive it and of the feelings as you |
W1:6.1 | upset (anger, fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the perceived | source very specifically for any application of the idea. For example: |
W1:30.4 | it does not depend on the body's eyes at all. The mind is its only | source. |
W1:35.3 | presents a very different view of yourself. By establishing your | Source, it establishes your Identity, and it describes you as you |
W1:41.3 | You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its | Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because |
W1:41.3 | goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the | Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be |
W1:41.3 | goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the | Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy |
W1:43.6 | God is my | Source. I cannot see this desk apart from Him. God is my Source. I |
W1:43.6 | God is my Source. I cannot see this desk apart from Him. God is my | Source. I cannot see that picture apart from Him. |

W1:43.16 | God is my | Source. I cannot see this apart from Him. |
W1:45.2 | the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their | source. Therefore your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. |
W1:47.4 | Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the | Source of real strength. Four five-minute practice periods are |
W1:53.5 | can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He is the | Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. It |
W1:59.4 | [43] God is my | Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I can see what God wants me to |
W1:68.2 | does to your awareness. It seems to split you off from your | Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like |
W1:70.1 | seems to come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does the | source of guilt. You see neither guilt nor salvation as in your own |
W1:70.4 | but hardly His. He wants you to be healed, and so He has kept the | Source of healing where the need for healing lies. You have tried to |
W1:71.2 | circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus the | source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. |
W1:71.4 | if you are to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived | source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. |
W1:71.15 | be no better way to spend a half-minute or less than to remember the | Source of your salvation and to see it where it is. |

W1:83.5 | my function is my happiness because both come from the same | Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would |

W1:92.5 | should be light. Strength comes from truth and shines with light its | Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It |

W1:99.5 | the Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from time in that its | Source is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your belief |
W1:99.6 | because it lays no faith in what is not created by the only | Source it knows. This is the thought whose function is to save by |
W1:105.3 | your view of giving, so you can receive. For giving has become a | source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you |
W1:106.2 | deceived by voices of the dead which tell you they have found the | source of life and offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, |
W1:130.6 | It is all a piece because it stems from one emotion and reflects its | source in everything you see. |

W1:132.2 | has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed the | source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. |
W1:132.6 | Ideas leave not their | source. This central theme is often stated in the text and must be |
W1:132.11 | is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their | source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought. |
W1:135.10 | and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate from its | Source. |
W1:136.19 | Now is the body healed because the | source of sickness has been opened to relief. And you will recognize |
W1:138.10 | as valuable, the other as a wholly worthless thing, a but imagined | source of guilt and pain? Who hesitates to make a choice like this? |
W1:140.8 | Today we seek to change our minds about the | source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all illusions, not another |
W1:140.8 | not another shift among them. We will try today to find the | source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father placed it |
W1:140.9 | appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances today and reach the | source of healing from which nothing is exempt. We will succeed to |
W1:156.1 | basic thought so often mentioned in the text—ideas leave not their | source. If this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you |
W1:156.1 | from God? How could you walk the world alone and separate from your | Source? |
W1:158.1 | because you were created out of Love. Nor have you left your | Source, remaining as you were created. This was given you as |
W1:159.4 | vision is the miracle in which all miracles are born. It is their | source, remaining with each miracle you give and yet remaining yours. |
W1:159.9 | back into the world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their | source, but carry its beneficence with them and turn the world into a |

W1:167.4 | fixed belief ideas can leave their source and take on qualities the | source does not contain, becoming different from their own origin, |
W1:167.5 | Death cannot come from life. Ideas remain united to their | source. They can extend all that their source contains. In that they |
W1:167.5 | Ideas remain united to their source. They can extend all that their | source contains. In that they can go far beyond themselves. But they |
W1:167.6 | a body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it has no | source. For mind creates all things that are and cannot give them |
W1:167.9 | a foreign state it cannot enter, or a false condition not within its | Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams of time— |
W1:167.11 | in a unity of life that cannot separate in death and leave the | Source of Life from where it came. |
W1:167.12 | We share our life because we have one | Source, a Source from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always |
W1:167.12 | We share our life because we have one Source, a | Source from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the |
W1:167.12 | No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its | Source, its Self, its holiness. |
W1:169.5 | that it is now aware of something not itself. It has united with its | Source, and like its Source Itself, it merely is. |
W1:169.5 | of something not itself. It has united with its Source, and like its | Source Itself, it merely is. |
W1:170.5 | which the idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their | source. For it is you who make attack and must have first conceived |
W1:R5.15 | their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears as we approach the | Source of meaning. It is here that we find rest. |
W1:177.3 | [164] Now are we one with Him Who is our | Source. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
W1:184.11 | He does not forget Creation has One Name, One Meaning, and a single | Source Which unifies all things within Itself. Use all the names the |
W1:186.11 | plan may be impossible, but God's can never fail because He is its | Source. |
W1:187.10 | 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 |
W1:188.1 | own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your | Source. It shines in you because it lights your home and leads you |
W1:188.2 | vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer | source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. |
W1:188.2 | inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It has no | source but this. |
W1:188.6 | with Him. They recognize their home. And they point surely to their | Source where God the Father and the Son are one. |
W1:190.5 | your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now becomes a | source of innocence and holiness. |
W1:192.5 | terror then? What fears could still assail those who have lost the | source of all attack, the core of anguish, and the seat of fear? |
W1:193.4 | love, so that the fear is gone. And now guilt cannot enter, for its | source has been excluded as the purpose of the lesson has been |
W1:195.10 | be found. For gratitude is but an aspect of the love which is the | Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being |
W1:195.10 | to you, His Son, for being what you are—His own completion and the | source of love, along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His |
W1:196.10 | fear. And thus a god outside yourself became your mortal enemy—the | source of fear. |
W1:199.2 | thoughts cannot enter such a mind because it has been given to the | Source of Love. And fear can never enter in a mind that has attached |
W2:222.1 | God is with me. He is my | Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which |
W2:228.2 | Father, I was mistaken in myself because I failed to realize the | Source from Which I came. I have not left that Source to enter in a |
W2:228.2 | failed to realize the Source from Which I came. I have not left that | Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of |
W2:WIW.1 | is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its | source. It will remain no longer than the thought which gave it birth |
W2:WIW.1 | all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its | source has gone, and its effects are gone as well. |
W2:259.1 | else but sin engenders our attacks? What else but sin could be the | source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? And what but |
W2:259.1 | demanding punishment and suffering? And what but this could be the | source of fear, obscuring God's creation, giving love the attributes |
W2:259.2 | refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You are the | Source of everything that is. And everything that is remains with You |
W2:260.1 | my insanity I thought I did. Yet as Your thought, I have not left my | Source, remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls |
W2:260.2 | Now is our | Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity at last. |
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 other |
W2:262.1 | he is part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our | Source, eternally united in Your Love, eternally the holy Son of God. |
W2:264.1 | surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no | Source but This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness, |
W2:266.1 | not Your Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy | Source. Let not Your Son forget Your name is his. |
W2:WIC.1 | He is the Thought Which still abides within the Mind That is His | Source. He has not left His holy home nor lost the innocence in which |
W2:282.1 | to be insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my | Source, created me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams |
W2:283.2 | Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only | Source and everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to |
W2:288.1 | to my goal. I cannot come to You without my brother. And to know my | Source, I first must recognize what You created one with me. My |
W2:293.1 | All fear is past because its | source is gone and all its thoughts gone with it. Love remains the |
W2:293.1 | thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state, whose | Source is here forever and forever. Can the world seem bright and |
W2:299.2 | know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created me, and I can know my | Source because it is Your will that You be known. |
W2:301.1 | of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their | source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your world today. |
W2:329.2 | Today we will accept our union with each other and our | Source. We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because |
M:I.5 | it. And then they are seen no more, although their thoughts remain a | source of strength and truth forever. Who are they? How are they |
M:4.15 | his Creator. Thus did they join their thoughts with Him Who is their | Source. And so their will, which always was His own, is free to be |
M:7.6 | And you are deceived about yourself, because you have denied the | Source of your creation. If you are offering only healing, you cannot |

Tx:26.70 | except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a little | space between you still, you want a little time in which forgiveness |

Tx:27.34 | The picture of your brother given you to occupy the | space so lately left unoccupied and vacant will not need defense of |

Tx:27.72 | brother and the world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the | space between your dreams and your reality. The little gap you do not |
Tx:28.32 | not the body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty | space, enclosing nothing, doing nothing, and as unsubstantial as the |
Tx:28.32 | the gap between the waves when they have joined and covered up the | space which seemed to keep them separate for a little while? Where |

Tx:16.18 | not interpret against God's Love, for you have many witnesses which | speak of it so clearly that only the blind and deaf could fail to see |
Tx:17.15 | enable you to think guiltily of another and not harm yourself. They | speak so clearly for the separation that no one not obsessed with |

Tx:27.7 | called forth to be believed and lend conviction to the system they | speak for and represent. And each has many voices, speaking to your |
Tx:27.17 | him mute testimony of his innocence. It is this testimony which can | speak with power greater than a thousand tongues. For here is his |
Tx:27.44 | what he denies himself? The Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does not | speak to someone else. Yet by your listening, His Voice extends |
Tx:27.57 | body. Neither does He harken to the witnesses by other names which | speak in other ways for its reality. He knows it is not real. For |

Tx:8.113 | you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the Holy Spirit in you, who | speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in |
Tx:8.113 | you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in whom God's Voice | speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You will be answered |
Tx:9.47 | Remember this when the ego | speaks, and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty |
Tx:10.15 | You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He | speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God |
Tx:10.17 | is your healing accomplished. Every miracle which you accomplish | speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing thought which |
Tx:10.57 | in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for Christ | speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent because |
Tx:10.57 | to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent because Christ | speaks to them, and it is His words that they speak. |
Tx:10.58 | of him unless you have evoked false witnesses against him. If he | speaks not of Christ to you, you spoke not of Christ to him. You hear |
Tx:10.58 | not of Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if Christ | speaks through you, you will hear Him. |
Tx:10.69 | there must be another world which you do not see. The Bible | speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be literally |
Tx:11.50 | overcome it, for all your learning is on its behalf. Yet your will | speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against your |
Tx:11.50 | behalf. Yet your will speaks against your learning, as your learning | speaks against your will, and so you fight against learning and |
Tx:13.4 | Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not share. His message | speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ's vision looks |
Tx:13.91 | you decide what you should do? Leave all decisions to the One Who | speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So will He teach |
Tx:14.5 | of value there. Listen to the Holy Spirit and to God through Him. He | speaks of you to you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in |
Tx:14.34 | division, but in the meeting place where God, united with His Son, | speaks to His Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be |
Tx:15.3 | in the death it wants for you, it offers you immortality in hell. It | speaks to you of Heaven but assures you that Heaven is not for you. |
Tx:15.6 | the life of someone who hears it temporarily as the only voice, it | speaks of hell even to him. For it tells him hell is here and bids |
Tx:16.15 | do not understand it. Miracles are natural to God and to the One Who | speaks for Him. For His task is to translate the miracle into the |
Tx:19.84 | of truth, the answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice that | speaks for God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of conflict. |
Tx:20.38 | Each herald of eternity sings of the end of sin and fear. Each | speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised together |
Tx:21.66 | you Heaven is what you want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who | speaks with reason and brings your reason into line with His. Be |
Tx:21.67 | You are your brother's savior. He is yours. Reason | speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was given love by |
Tx:23.42 | it may seem to be, a blessing and a sign the Voice for God | speaks through you to your brother? The wrapping does not make the |
Tx:24.53 | upon. And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that | speaks for God in everything that lives and shares His Being. |
Tx:25.43 | of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they look on | speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the |
Tx:25.59 | God's Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who | speaks for Him can show you this in the alternative He chose |
Tx:26.36 | from time. It is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness | speaks no more. There is no other teacher and no other way. For what |
Tx:26.56 | little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that | speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world which death and |
Tx:27.5 | is but a “little” death; a form of vengeance not yet total. Yet it | speaks with certainty for what it represents. The bleak and bitter |
Tx:27.7 | is your life, how easily destroyed is what you love. Depression | speaks of death and vanity of real concern with anything at all. The |
Tx:27.44 | not have? And who can share what he denies himself? The Holy Spirit | speaks to you. He does not speak to someone else. Yet by your |
Tx:27.58 | The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a miracle | speaks not but for itself, but what it represents. |
Tx:28.13 | that fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The stillness | speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from before |
Tx:29.60 | if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit | speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven |
Tx:30.33 | the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He | speaks for you. In His divinity is but your own. And all He knows is |
Tx:31.6 | His Son forget Him. And the power of His Will is in the Voice that | speaks for Him. Which lesson will you learn? What outcome is |
W1:47.3 | God is your safety in every circumstance. His Voice | speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all |

W1:96.9 | this thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who | speaks to you from your One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing |
W1:97.8 | Begin these happy exercises with the words the Holy Spirit | speaks to you, and let them echo round the world through Him: |
W1:123.5 | message will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that | speaks, however loving may the message be. Thanks be to you who |
W1:125.6 | Today He | speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word cannot be |
W1:125.7 | world and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He | speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice is closer than |
W1:125.8 | It is your voice to which you listen as He | speaks to you. It is your Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom |
W1:125.8 | voice to which you listen as He speaks to you. It is your Word He | speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and |

W1:129.4 | plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself | speaks to His Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no |
W1:129.4 | for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son as His Son | speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what they say cannot |
W1:135.4 | fear as each defense is made. You think it offers safety. Yet it | speaks of fear made real and terror justified. Is it not strange you |
W1:140.10 | God. No voice but this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice which | speaks to us of truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to |
W1:151.5 | This thing it | speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is yourself. And you |
W1:152.15 | this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice will answer, for He | speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the peace of |
W1:154.4 | Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which | speaks of laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from |
W1:154.10 | today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who | speaks for us, for it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him. He |
W1:156.8 | ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease. God | speaks for you in answering your question with these words: |
W1:157.9 | teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision | speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will |
W1:160.2 | in our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he | speaks a different language, looks upon a world truth does not know, |
W1:166.11 | gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you and | speaks of His companionship when you perceive yourself as lonely and |
W1:166.12 | God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He | speaks as well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts |
W1:168.1 | God | speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him? He is not distant. He makes |
W1:I2.2 | peace that comes as you give up your tight control of what you see | speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words |
W1:186.7 | All this the Voice for God relates to you. And as He | speaks, the image trembles and seeks to attack the threat it does not |
W1:186.12 | consider this—which is more likely to be right? The Voice that | speaks for the Creator of all things Who knows all things exactly as |
W1:193.9 | These are the words the Holy Spirit | speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, all suffering |
W1:193.18 | To all that | speaks of terror, answer thus: |
W1:R6.10 | we give these times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, | speaks of peace, and gives our thoughts whatever meaning they may |
W2:222.1 | also shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what He | speaks today! |
W2:237.1 | the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father | speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would have me see, |
W2:WIW.4 | and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that | speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you |
W2:245.2 | we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice of God, Who | speaks to us as we relate His Word, Whose Love we recognize because |
W2:254.2 | They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God | speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember |
W2:275.1 | Let us today attend the Voice of God, Which | speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet |
W2:315.1 | A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone | speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind perceives this gift |
W2:361.1 | in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me because He | speaks for God, my Father, and His holy Son. |
W2:E.2 | really need. His is the Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He | speaks of freedom and of truth. |
M:2.5 | teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's Teacher | speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The |
M:4.19 | self-interest. This does not refer, however, to the self the world | speaks of. The teacher of God does not want anything he cannot give |
M:5.9 | them. It is not their hands that heal. It is not their voice that | speaks the Word of God. They merely give what has been given them. |
M:21.4 | not control the direction of his speaking. He listens and hears and | speaks. |

Tx:15.48 | Because of guilt, all | special relationships have some elements of fear in them. And this is |

Tx:15.65 | Beyond the poor attraction of the | special love relationship and always obscured by it is the powerful |
Tx:15.65 | the ego enters. For every relationship on which the ego embarks is | special. The ego establishes relationships only to get something. And |
Tx:15.68 | you. And thus it embarks on an endless, unrewarding chain of | special relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one |
Tx:15.74 | Whenever you are angry, you can be sure that you have formed a | special relationship which the ego has “blessed,” for anger is its |
Tx:15.74 | guilty, and this attempt is the only basis which the ego accepts for | special relationships. Guilt is the only need the ego has, and as |
Tx:15.80 | Hear Him gladly and learn of Him that you have need of no | special relationships at all. You but seek in them what you have |
Tx:15.98 | destroyed, you or another? You seek to answer this question in your | special relationships, in which you are both destroyer and destroyed |
Tx:15.101 | very fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few | special relationships in which you think you see some scraps of |
Tx:16.1 | is the ego's interpretation of empathy and is always used to form a | special relationship in which the suffering is shared. The capacity |
Tx:16.30 | Be not afraid to look upon the | special hate relationship, for freedom lies in looking at it. It |
Tx:16.30 | impossible not to know the meaning of love except for this. For the | special love relationship, in which the meaning of love is lost, is |
Tx:16.30 | your open eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit hate. The | special love relationship will not offset it but will merely drive it |
Tx:16.32 | The | special love relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive |
Tx:16.32 | attempting to build barricades against it and keep within them. The | special love relationship is not perceived as a value in itself, but |
Tx:16.32 | a place of safety from which hatred is split off and kept apart. The | special love partner is acceptable only as long as he serves this |
Tx:16.36 | must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from illusion: The | special love relationship is an attempt [to bring love into |
Tx:16.36 | it real in fear. In fundamental violation of love's condition, the | special love relationship would accomplish the impossible. How but in |
Tx:16.37 | for your own completion, and it is they who render you complete. The | special love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes |
Tx:16.38 | your completion, for you will be wholly in God, willing for nothing | special but only to be wholly like unto Him, completing Him by your |
Tx:16.42 | If | special relationships of any kind would hinder God's completion, can |
Tx:16.43 | In looking at the | special relationship, it is necessary first to realize that it |

Tx:16.44 | how you value it and why, you will realize what it must be. The | special love relationship is the ego's most boasted gift, and one |
Tx:16.46 | It is in the | special relationship, born of the hidden wish for special love from |
Tx:16.46 | It is in the special relationship, born of the hidden wish for | special love from God, that the ego's hatred triumphs. For the |
Tx:16.46 | for special love from God, that the ego's hatred triumphs. For the | special relationship is the renunciation of the love of God and the |
Tx:16.48 | The | special relationship is a strange and unnatural ego device for |
Tx:16.48 | of both and to the inability to perceive either one as it is. The | special relationship is the triumph of this confusion. It is a kind |
Tx:16.49 | of all is the concept of the self which the ego fosters in the | special relationship. This “self” seeks the relationship to make |
Tx:16.49 | the relationship to make itself complete. Yet when it finds the | special relationship in which it thinks it can accomplish this, it |
Tx:16.50 | The “better” self the ego seeks is always one that is more | special. And whoever seems to possess a special self is “loved” for |
Tx:16.50 | is always one that is more special. And whoever seems to possess a | special self is “loved” for what can be taken from him. Where both |
Tx:16.50 | “loved” for what can be taken from him. Where both partners see this | special self in each other, the ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” |
Tx:16.51 | faith in littleness. The conviction of littleness lies in every | special relationship, for only the deprived could value specialness. |
Tx:16.51 | an act of love would make love hateful. And the real purpose of the | special relationship, in strict accordance with the ego's goals, is |
Tx:16.52 | If you perceived the | special relationship as a triumph over God, would you want it? Let us |
Tx:16.52 | 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 think you |
Tx:16.53 | leaving it helpless. See how exactly is this ritual enacted in the | special relationship. An altar is erected in between two separate |
Tx:16.54 | Whenever any form of | special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual, remember |
Tx:16.54 | in ritual, remember love is content and not form of any kind. The | special relationship is a ritual of form, aimed at the raising of the |
Tx:16.54 | There is no meaning in the form, and there will never be. The | special relationship must be recognized for what it is—a senseless |
Tx:16.55 | the wholeness of God have any influence at all upon it. See in the | special relationship nothing more than a meaningless attempt to raise |
Tx:16.59 | The search for the | special relationship is the sign that you equate yourself with the |
Tx:16.59 | sign that you equate yourself with the ego and not with God. For the | special relationship has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a |
Tx:16.59 | has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a relationship has | special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives all love as |
Tx:16.59 | has special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives all love as | special. Yet this cannot be natural, for it is unlike the |
Tx:16.60 | in protecting you from the attraction of guilt, the real lure in the | special relationship. You do not recognize that this is its real |
Tx:16.60 | taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet the closer you look at the | special relationship, the more apparent it becomes that it must |
Tx:16.61 | The | special relationship is totally without meaning without a body. And |
Tx:16.61 | you must also value the body. And what you value, you will keep. The | special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a body and |
Tx:16.61 | The Great Rays would establish the total lack of value of the | special relationship if they were seen. For in seeing them, the body |
Tx:16.62 | made in perfect faith, the universe would enter into it. Yet the | special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even one |
Tx:16.64 | your world together. This frame of reference is built around the | special relationship. Without this illusion, there can be no meaning |
Tx:16.65 | in this: You could no longer find even the illusion of love in any | special relationship here. For you are no longer wholly insane, and |
Tx:16.66 | Nothing you seek to strengthen in the | special relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep part |
Tx:16.69 | only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a | special relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a |
Tx:16.70 | It is impossible to let the past go without relinquishing the | special relationship. For the special relationship is an attempt to |
Tx:16.70 | the past go without relinquishing the special relationship. For the | special relationship is an attempt to reenact the past and change it. |
Tx:16.70 | perceived injustices, and deprivations all enter into the | special relationship, which becomes a way in which you seek to |
Tx:16.70 | your wounded self-esteem. What basis would you have for choosing a | special partner without the past? Every such choice is made because |
Tx:16.71 | The | special relationship takes vengeance on the past. By seeking to |
Tx:16.71 | its preoccupation with the past and its total commitment to it. No | special relationship is experienced in the present. Shades of the |
Tx:16.72 | it and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it brings to the | special relationships it chooses in which to act out its hate are |
Tx:16.73 | In the | special relationship, you are allowing your destruction to be. That |
Tx:16.73 | goal as its ally. The past is gone; seek not to preserve it in the | special relationship, which binds you to it and would teach you that |
Tx:16.74 | In the | special relationship, it does not seem to be an acting out of |
Tx:16.74 | one thing which the ego never allows to reach awareness is that the | special relationship is the acting out of vengeance on yourself. But |
Tx:16.74 | of vengeance on yourself. But what else could it be? In seeking the | special relationship, you look not for glory in yourself. You have |
Tx:17.28 | said repeatedly that the Holy Spirit would not deprive you of your | special relationships but would transform them. And by that all that |
Tx:17.28 | God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a substitute for it. Every | special relationship which you have made is a substitute for God's |
Tx:17.29 | to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a substitute. Every | special relationship which you have ever undertaken has as its |
Tx:17.29 | completely that you will not hear the call of truth. In a sense the | special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy |
Tx:17.31 | And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the whole. The | special relationship, which is its chief defense, must therefore be |
Tx:17.32 | little difficulty now in realizing that the thought system which the | special relationship protects is but a system of delusions. You |
Tx:17.32 | at least in general terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the | special relationship still seems to you somehow to be “different.” |
Tx:17.34 | The | special relationship has the most imposing and deceptive frame of all |
Tx:17.74 | The holy instant is nothing more than a | special case or an extreme example of what every situation is meant |
Tx:18.1 | is to choose between, renouncing one in favor of the other. For this | special purpose, one is judged more valuable and the other is |
Tx:18.3 | stems. No one is seen complete. The body is emphasized, with | special emphasis on certain parts, and used as the standard for |
Tx:18.3 | for either acceptance or rejection of suitability for acting out a | special form of fear. |
Tx:18.4 | whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every | special relationship which you have ever made is part of it. |
Tx:18.19 | and insane idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the | special relationship [has a special place. It is the means by which |
Tx:18.19 | change it. In your waking dreams, the special relationship [has a | special place. It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping |
Tx:18.19 | your sleeping dreams come true. From this you do not awaken. The | special relationship] is your determination to keep your hold on |
Tx:18.20 | changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in your | special relationship. He does not destroy it nor snatch it away from |
Tx:18.20 | use it differently, as a help to make His purpose real to you.] Your | special relationship will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, |
Tx:18.21 | Your | special relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone |
Tx:18.23 | truth, and it has come because you have been willing to let your | special relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the |
Tx:18.45 | a dream. All that remains of dreams within it is that it is still a | special relationship. Yet it is very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who |
Tx:18.45 | relationship. Yet it is very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a | special function here. It will become the happy dream through which |
Tx:18.58 | liberation far exceeds the dream of freedom sometimes experienced in | special relationships. It is a sense of actual escape from |
Tx:18.68 | Time has been saved for you because you are together. This is the | special means this course is using to save you time. You are not |
Tx:18.82 | Be sure of this—love has entered your | special relationship and entered fully at your weak request. You do |
Tx:19.21 | is its armor, its protection, and the fundamental purpose of the | special relationship in its interpretation. |
Tx:19.77 | To you in whose | special relationship the Holy Spirit entered, it is given to release |
Tx:20.32 | who walks this earth in seeming solitude is a savior given, whose | special function here is to release him and so to free himself. In |
Tx:20.33 | goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn its | special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His |
Tx:21.29 | All | special relationships have sin as their goal. For they are bargains |
Tx:22.32 | regardless of their form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a | special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all errors and make |
Tx:24.5 | who could hate someone whose Self is his and whom He knows? Only the | special could have enemies, for they are different and not the same. |
Tx:24.6 | serves as grounds from which attack on those who seem “beneath” the | special one is “natural” and “just.” The special ones feel weak and |
Tx:24.6 | who seem “beneath” the special one is “natural” and “just.” The | special ones feel weak and frail because of differences, for what |
Tx:24.6 | feel weak and frail because of differences, for what would make them | special is their enemy. Yet they protect its enmity and call it |
Tx:24.10 | not share with you. For your relationship has been made clean of | special goals. And would you now defeat the goal of holiness that |
Tx:24.10 | the goal of holiness that Heaven gave it? What perspective can the | special have that does not change with every seeming blow, each |
Tx:24.11 | Those who are | special must defend illusions against the truth. For what is |
Tx:24.15 | You are not | special. If you think you are and would defend your specialness |
Tx:24.16 | speak a different language and they fall on different ears. To every | special one a different message, and one with different meaning, is |
Tx:24.16 | is the truth. Yet how can truth be different to each one? The | special messages the special hear convince them they are different |
Tx:24.16 | Yet how can truth be different to each one? The special messages the | special hear convince them they are different and apart—each in his |
Tx:24.16 | hear convince them they are different and apart—each in his | special sins and “safe” from love, which does not see his specialness |
Tx:24.21 | as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to Himself. He is not | special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, |
Tx:24.21 | but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not | special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your brother is like |
Tx:24.21 | He willed His Son be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not | special, but possessed of everything including you. |
Tx:24.24 | as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands a | special place God cannot enter and a hiding-place where none is |
Tx:24.24 | you closed upon yourself, to rule in madness and in loneliness your | special kingdom, apart from God, away from truth and from salvation. |
Tx:24.32 | The | special ones are all asleep, surrounded by a world of loveliness they |
Tx:25.8 | the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and | special, to the Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really |
Tx:25.46 | use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a | special function in salvation he alone can fill—a part for only |
Tx:25.46 | —a part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his | special function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make |
Tx:25.47 | do one perfect thing and make one perfect choice. And by this act of | special faithfulness to one perceived as other than himself, he |
Tx:25.48 | is allotted him, for on his part does all the plan depend. He has a | special part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it |
Tx:25.48 | his salvation from the very instant that the choice was made. His | special sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his |
Tx:25.48 | very instant that the choice was made. His special sin was made his | special grace. His special hate became his special love. |
Tx:25.48 | the choice was made. His special sin was made his special grace. His | special hate became his special love. |
Tx:25.48 | special sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his | special love. |
Tx:25.49 | The Holy Spirit needs your | special function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a |
Tx:25.49 | special function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a | special value here. You wanted it, and it is given you. All that you |
Tx:25.49 | your specialness appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your | special function in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack |
Tx:25.56 | Your | special function is the special form in which the fact that God is |
Tx:25.56 | Your special function is the | special form in which the fact that God is not insane appears most |
Tx:25.56 | to you. The content is the same. The form is suited to your | special needs and to the special time and place in which you think |
Tx:25.56 | is the same. The form is suited to your special needs and to the | special time and place in which you think you find yourself and where |
Tx:25.56 | which makes it most acceptable to those who are insane requires | special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the insane, whose |
Tx:25.58 | nor overlook nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each his | special function is designed to be perceived as possible and more and |
Tx:25.58 | being sane. Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a | special part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside |
Tx:25.58 | part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a | special function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook |
Tx:25.61 | Holy Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your | special function has a part. For here your special function is made |
Tx:25.61 | to the plan in which your special function has a part. For here your | special function is made whole because it shares the function of the |
Tx:25.72 | as well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His | special function to hold out to you the gifts the innocent deserve. |
Tx:25.74 | that one, so justice may return to love and there be satisfied. Each | special function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that |
Tx:25.75 | Self, so great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your | special function is a call to Him that He may smile on you whose |
Tx:25.75 | He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's | special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a witness |
Tx:25.76 | you cannot, not because you are a miserable sinner too. How can the | special really understand that justice is the same for everyone? To |
Tx:25.77 | justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your | special function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can |
Tx:25.83 | justice to the wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a | special gift to some to be withheld from others as less worthy, more |
Tx:25.84 | the Holy Spirit's gift, were given specially to an elect and | special group and kept apart from others as less deserving, then is |
Tx:26.5 | the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your | special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become |
Tx:26.9 | him within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your | special function to ensure the door be opened that he may come forth |
Tx:26.9 | gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy Spirit's | special function but to release the holy Son of God from the |
Tx:26.10 | the problem lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a | special form. It will recur and then recur again and yet again until |
Tx:26.15 | to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again your | special function. One is given you to see in him his perfect |
Tx:26.16 | to be forever undone and unremembered. What seemed once to be a | special problem, a mistake without a remedy, or an affliction without |
Tx:26.17 | it. Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your | special function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of |
Tx:26.24 | Is not this like your | special function, where the separation is undone by change of purpose |
Tx:27.78 | more senseless things that it can call its own. It looks about for | special bodies which can share its dream. Sometimes it dreams it is a |
Tx:29.59 | reality does not contain. Each worshiper of idols harbors hope his | special deities will give him more than other men possess. It must be |
Tx:30.40 | completion. Wholeness has no form because it is unlimited. To seek a | special person or a thing to add to you to make yourself complete can |

Tx:24.7 | Specialness is the great dictator of the wrong decisions. Here is the | |

Tx:24.8 | You are his enemy in specialness; his friend in a shared purpose. | Specialness can never share, for it depends on goals that you alone |
Tx:24.9 | Could you attack each other if you chose to see no | specialness of any kind between you? Look fairly at whatever makes |
Tx:24.9 | that you are better off apart. Is it not always your belief your | specialness is limited by your relationship? And is not this the |
Tx:24.10 | fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized belief in | specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against his will. |
Tx:24.11 | who are special must defend illusions against the truth. For what is | specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You love your brother |
Tx:24.12 | Comparison must be an ego device, for love makes none. | Specialness always makes comparisons. It is established by a lack |
Tx:24.12 | savior, had you not chosen to make of him a tiny measure of your | specialness instead. Against the littleness you see in him, you stand |
Tx:24.13 | Pursuit of | specialness is always at the cost of peace. Who can attack his savior |
Tx:24.13 | in salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of | specialness must bring you pain. Here is a goal that would defeat |
Tx:24.13 | defeat salvation and thus run counter to the Will of God. To value | specialness is to esteem an alien will to which illusions of yourself |
Tx:24.14 | Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to | |
Tx:24.14 | the Oneness Which created them as one with Him. They chose their | specialness instead of Heaven and instead of peace and wrapped it |
Tx:24.15 | You are not special. If you think you are and would defend your | specialness against the truth of what you really are, how can you |
Tx:24.15 | answer that the Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your | specialness to which you listen and which asks and answers? Its tiny |

Tx:24.16 | sees not what they would look upon, and it would show them that the | specialness they think they see is an illusion. What would they see |
Tx:24.17 | to him as he is to his Father. And all the world he made and all his | specialness and all the sins he held in its defense against himself |
Tx:24.18 | You who have chained your savior to your | specialness and given it his place, remember this: He has not lost |
Tx:24.18 | the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not the dream of | specialness remain between you. What is one is joined in truth. |
Tx:24.19 | when you have looked on him as on a friend. He is the enemy of | specialness but only friend to what is real in you. Not one attack |
Tx:24.19 | it is as great as yours to have it. Let him forgive you all your | specialness and make you whole in mind and one with him. He waits for |
Tx:24.19 | It is not God Who has condemned His Son. But only you, to save his | specialness and kill his Self. |
Tx:24.20 | vestige of the fear of God will melt away in love. Your brother's | specialness and yours are enemies and bound in hate to kill each |
Tx:24.21 | Here is your savior from your | specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as part of |
Tx:24.22 | He gave Himself. What is the same as God is one with Him. And only | specialness could make the truth of God and you as one seem anything |
Tx:24.23 | Specialness is the seal of treachery upon the gift of love. Whatever | |
Tx:24.24 | The hope of | specialness makes it seem possible God made the body as the |
Tx:24.25 | you travel now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The death of | specialness is not your death but your awaking into life eternal. You |
Tx:24.26 | Forgiveness is the end of | specialness. Only illusions can be forgiven, and then they disappear. |
Tx:24.27 | Whatever form of | specialness you cherish, you have made sin. Inviolate it stands, |
Tx:24.28 | frail. Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But | specialness is not the truth in you. It can be thrown off balance by |
Tx:24.29 | has no meaning? No, His Son is safe, resting on Him. It is your | specialness that is attacked by everything that walks and breathes or |
Tx:24.29 | Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while | specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between them and |
Tx:24.30 | for you and what you will. They are the same, for neither one wills | specialness. How could they will the death of love itself? Yet they |
Tx:24.31 | the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your | specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your home. He chose not |
Tx:24.31 | in perfect safety and without the heat and malice of one thought of | specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the specialness He |
Tx:24.31 | thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the | specialness He could not give and which you made instead. |
Tx:24.32 | dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of | specialness. They hate the call that would awaken them, and they |
Tx:24.33 | The slaves of | specialness will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. |
Tx:24.33 | done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love not your | specialness instead of them. The print of nails are on your hands as |
Tx:24.34 | Specialness is a lack of trust in anyone except yourself. Faith is | |
Tx:24.35 | What could the purpose of the body be but | specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and helpless in its |
Tx:24.36 | oft repeated but is difficult to grasp as yet. To minds intent on | specialness, it is impossible. Yet to those who wish to heal and not |
Tx:24.36 | purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to | specialness. Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles |
Tx:24.37 | This shift in purpose does “endanger” | specialness, but only in the sense that all illusions are |
Tx:24.37 | Offered to them, no gifts can be returned. What you have given | specialness has left you bankrupt and your treasure house barren and |
Tx:24.38 | whether it is your wish that you might see your brother sinless. To | specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless brother is its enemy, |
Tx:24.38 | If he is sinful, then is your reality not real but just a dream of | specialness which lasts an instant, crumbling into dust. |
Tx:24.39 | your brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was there. Your | specialness seemed safe because of it. And thus you saved what you |
Tx:24.39 | you instead. So are you bound with him, for you are one. And so is | specialness his “enemy” and yours as well. |
Tx:24.40 | sees because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father. | Specialness, too, takes joy in what it sees, although it is not true. |
Tx:24.41 | There is no dream of | specialness—however hidden or disguised the form; however lovely it |
Tx:24.43 | Yet let your | specialness direct his way, and you will follow. And both will walk |
Tx:24.43 | the other to a nameless precipice and hurl him over it. For what can | specialness delight in but to kill? What does it seek for but the |
Tx:24.46 | yours to look upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of | specialness He offers you that you may save all living things from |
Tx:24.47 | You who would be content with | specialness and seek salvation in a war with love, consider this: the |
Tx:24.53 | this world. 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 |
Tx:24.54 | and you along with him. Let not your eyes be blinded by the veil of | specialness that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as well. |
Tx:24.56 | laid on both of you. The Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your | specialness looks on his body and beholds him not. |
Tx:24.58 | save from pain and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your | specialness will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each |
Tx:24.59 | Specialness is the function which you gave yourself. It stands for | |
Tx:24.59 | to cease. And all this grim determination was for this—you wanted | specialness to be the truth. |
Tx:24.61 | be sure you understand what made this judgment. Here is the voice of | specialness heard clearly, judging against the Christ and setting |
Tx:24.62 | How bitterly does everyone tied to this world defend the | specialness he wants to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and |
Tx:24.62 | to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his | specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs does he deny |
Tx:24.62 | effort is too great, no cost too much, no price too dear to save his | specialness from the least slight, the tiniest attack, the whispered |
Tx:24.63 | seeing it in him, returns to you. All of the tribute you have given | specialness belongs to him and thus returns to you. All of the love |
Tx:24.63 | powerful conviction this is you belong to him. Nothing you gave to | specialness but is his due. And nothing due him is not due to you. |
Tx:24.64 | How can you know your worth while | specialness claims you instead? How can you fail to know it is in his |
Tx:24.64 | can you fail to know it is in his holiness? Seek not to make your | specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be lost indeed. Be |
Tx:24.65 | harm. Save it for show, as bait to catch another fish, to house your | specialness in better style or weave a frame of loveliness around |
Tx:24.71 | brand it sinful, and you hate its acts, judging it evil. Yet your | specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in whom I am well |
Tx:24.72 | of truth. Yet can perception serve another goal. It is not bound to | specialness but by your choice. And it is given you to make a |
Tx:25.2 | is and walks with him within his holiness, as plain to see as is his | specialness set forth within his body. |
Tx:25.9 | Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of | specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His |
Tx:25.25 | is a perfect means to serve the goal for which it is perceived. For | specialness it is the perfect frame to set it off—the perfect |
Tx:25.27 | the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the pitiful attempts of | specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and light the body |
Tx:25.46 | Such is the Holy Spirit's kind perception of | specialness—His use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To |
Tx:25.47 | in time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to translate | specialness from sin into salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when |
Tx:25.48 | did in making it. He has the means for either, as he always did. The | specialness he chose to hurt himself did God appoint to be the means |
Tx:25.49 | on his behalf and not against himself. Only in darkness does your | specialness appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your special |
Tx:25.67 | to share the Holy Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of | specialness at all. Yet how could He be just if He condemns a sinner |
Tx:25.74 | As | specialness cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the |
Tx:25.76 | Without impartiality there is no justice. How can | specialness be just? Judge not because you cannot, not because you |
Tx:25.83 | who can be separate from salvation if its purpose is the end of | specialness? Where is salvation's justice if some errors are |
Tx:25.84 | and kept apart from others as less deserving, then is He ally to | specialness. What He cannot perceive He bears no witness to. And |
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 in the |
Tx:26.66 | us all. There is no difference among the Sons of God. The unity that | specialness denies will save them all, for what is one can have no |
Tx:26.66 | specialness denies will save them all, for what is one can have no | specialness. And everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie |
Tx:27.19 | him well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing sees no | specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from love. And |
M:4.1 | because they have a special role in His plan for Atonement. Their | specialness is, of course, only temporary—set in time as a means of |

Tx:5.10 | The Holy | Spirit is the only part of the Holy Trinity which is symbolic. He is |
Tx:5.10 | send you another comforter, and He will abide with you.” The Holy | Spirit is a difficult concept to grasp precisely because it is |
Tx:5.10 | which came from the Universal Inspiration which is the Holy | Spirit, taught me first and foremost that this Inspiration is for |
Tx:5.11 | you can obstruct it, although you can never lose it. The Holy | Spirit is the Christ Mind, which senses the knowledge that lies |
Tx:5.12 | became so lofty that they could reach almost back to Him. The Holy | Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. It represents a state of mind |
Tx:5.13 | The Holy | Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of |
Tx:5.17 | Healing is not creating; it is reparation. The Holy | Spirit promotes healing by looking beyond it to what the Children of |
Tx:5.17 | the shift in time perception which the miracle introduces. The Holy | Spirit is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the will to heal the |
Tx:5.18 | just this fusion or union of will between Father and Son. The Holy | Spirit is the spirit of joy. He is the Call to return with which God |
Tx:5.18 | or union of will between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the | spirit of joy. He is the Call to return with which God blessed the |
Tx:5.18 | and would not have understood the call to right thinking. The Holy | Spirit was God's Answer to the separation, the means by which the |
Tx:5.19 | is given you by God Who asks you only to listen to it. The Holy | Spirit is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls |
Tx:5.20 | are as equal as learners as they are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy | Spirit is the call to Atonement or the restoration of the integrity |
Tx:5.20 | will be no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy | Spirit will remain with the Sons of God to bless their creations and |
Tx:5.21 | in darkness enter your minds, and so you need a new light. The Holy | Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the idea of darkness. |
Tx:5.22 | because you had made another voice through another will. The Holy | Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You have chosen to |
Tx:5.23 | its application is different. Choosing means divided will. The Holy | Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you because there is |
Tx:5.23 | put in their minds was not the voice of His Will for which the Holy | Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger than the call to |
Tx:5.24 | The Voice of the Holy | Spirit does not command, because it is incapable of arrogance. It |
Tx:5.25 | it. It is therefore lost to him until he chooses right. The Holy | Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is the part of your mind which |
Tx:5.26 | The Holy | Spirit is the way in which God's Will can be done on earth as it is |
Tx:5.28 | with me. Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy | Spirit is the call to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, |
Tx:5.28 | it to the Call for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy | Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What better vocation could |
Tx:5.29 | Hear only this through the Holy | Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am teaching |
Tx:5.30 | way or another Voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy | Spirit, I could come to provide the model for how to think. |
Tx:5.30 | we must respond to the same mind to do this. This mind is the Holy | Spirit, whose will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me |
Tx:5.31 | my message is for you to hear and give away as you answer the Holy | Spirit within you. |
Tx:5.32 | The way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the Holy | Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy Spirit is the |
Tx:5.32 | the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy | Spirit is the bridge or thought-transfer of perception to knowledge, |
Tx:5.33 | The Holy | Spirit is the idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is |
Tx:5.33 | of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The idea of the Holy | Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because it follows the |
Tx:5.33 | to exist, your brother does not have to be aware of the Holy | Spirit either in himself or in you for this miracle to occur. |
Tx:5.34 | be in his, because you are perceiving him. See him through the Holy | Spirit in his mind, and you will recognize Him in yours. What you |
Tx:5.35 | The Voice of the Holy | Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must share it. It must be |
Tx:5.35 | by being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy | Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations will frighten you because |
Tx:5.36 | delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said before that the Holy | Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy |
Tx:5.36 | Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy | Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions, |
Tx:5.36 | because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. The Holy | Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made. He undoes it in |
Tx:5.38 | The Holy | Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego and the |
Tx:5.38 | Understanding is light, and light leads to knowledge. The Holy | Spirit is in light because He is in you who are light, but you |
Tx:5.38 | yourselves do not know this. It is therefore the task of the Holy | Spirit to reinterpret you on behalf of God. |
Tx:5.39 | your life, your eternity, and yourself. It is of this that the Holy | Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit sees. This vision |
Tx:5.39 | of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy | Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the ego because it is |
Tx:5.40 | The Holy | Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the call of danger, opposing it |
Tx:5.40 | strength, just as the ego welcomes it with all its might. The Holy | Spirit counters this welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and eternity |
Tx:5.41 | The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy | Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you perceive in others, you are |
Tx:5.41 | in yourself. You let your mind misperceive, but the Holy | Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The Holy |
Tx:5.41 | Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The Holy | Spirit is the perfect teacher. He uses only what your minds already |
Tx:5.41 | understand to teach you that you do not understand it. The Holy | Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter to |
Tx:5.41 | than the ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy | Spirit recognizes it perfectly, because it is His own dwelling place |
Tx:5.42 | in eternity. The ego made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy | Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego made, sees it only as a |
Tx:5.42 | sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. The Holy | Spirit must perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The |
Tx:5.43 | The Holy | Spirit must work through opposites, because He must work with and for |
Tx:5.43 | not made truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy | Spirit looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding |
Tx:5.45 | are beyond destruction and beyond guilt. They came from the Holy | Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. What fear |
Tx:5.46 | safely fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the Holy | Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you |
Tx:5.47 | of the Kingdom. Nothing good is lost because it comes from the Holy | Spirit, the Voice for creation. Nothing that is not good was ever |
Tx:5.53 | of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the call of the Holy | Spirit to be as One. |
Tx:5.54 | the mind which was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it. The Holy | Spirit atones in all of us by undoing and thus lifts the burden you |
Tx:5.56 | same level. It is impossible to share opposing thoughts. The Holy | Spirit does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you can |
Tx:5.57 | God lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy | Spirit is lacking. |
Tx:5.59 | use of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the Holy | Spirit has. The ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful can be |
Tx:5.59 | be egotistic. The ego's logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy | Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its disposal to side |
Tx:5.59 | here because, once what you have made is undone by the Holy | Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues in |
Tx:5.67 | The Holy | Spirit, like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the |
Tx:5.67 | which the mind can accept and obey. The ego and the Holy | Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created one, and so you |
Tx:5.73 | in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. Let the Holy | Spirit remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you how to |
Tx:5.74 | The ego speaks in judgment and the Holy | Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the Supreme Court has the |
Tx:5.75 | shall perish.” There are many others, but if you will let the Holy | Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they will suffice. |
Tx:5.76 | fact that vengeance cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the Holy | Spirit, who will undo it in you because it does not belong in your |
Tx:5.77 | beyond itself. Actually, all the quotation means is that the Holy | Spirit in later generations retains the power to interpret correctly |
Tx:5.82 | device which will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The Holy | Spirit, Who speaks for God in time, also knows that time is |
Tx:5.83 | on Him,” a statement which means that God's peace is set in the Holy | Spirit because it is fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You, |
Tx:5.85 | Holy Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy | Spirit never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur under |
Tx:5.87 | Second, although Freud misinterpreted what the Holy | Spirit told him, or better, reminded him of, he was too honest to |
Tx:5.92 | when you know the Voice of God Himself is in you? God commended His | Spirit to you and asks that you commend yours to Him. He wills to |
Tx:5.92 | wills to keep it in perfect peace, because you are of one mind and | spirit with Him. Excluding yourself from the Atonement is the ego's |
Tx:5.95 | the following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy | Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation: |
Tx:5.96 | I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy | Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will |
Tx:6.13 | learners, even though we need not have equal experiences. The Holy | Spirit is glad when you can learn enough from mine to be re-awakened |
Tx:6.14 | sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy | Spirit in others, you can learn from their experiences and gain from |
Tx:6.14 | them without experiencing them yourselves. That is because the Holy | Spirit is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to |
Tx:6.14 | was I. You are not asked to repeat my experiences, because the Holy | Spirit, Whom we share, makes this unnecessary. To use my experiences |
Tx:6.15 | no perception which is out of accord with the judgment of the Holy | Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show this was true in a very |
Tx:6.16 | Remember that the Holy | Spirit is the communication link between God the Father and His |
Tx:6.28 | are directed by the mind which has a better Voice. The Holy | Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, but since their goals |
Tx:6.29 | The Holy | Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this perfection |
Tx:6.29 | both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy | Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically, |
Tx:6.31 | The ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the Holy | Spirit remains the bridge between perception and knowledge. By |
Tx:6.31 | this meeting is impossible, yet it is your perception which the Holy | Spirit guides. You might remember that the human eye perceives |
Tx:6.32 | because they were created neither partially nor in part. The Holy | Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You can no more |
Tx:6.32 | alone. Prayer is the restatement of inclusion, directed by the Holy | Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to create. You cannot |
Tx:6.33 | perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy | Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire perception and lead |
Tx:6.34 | The Holy | Spirit uses time but does not believe in it. Coming from God, He uses |
Tx:6.34 | good, but He does not believe in what is not true. Since the Holy | Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to believe only |
Tx:6.34 | your minds must also be able to believe only what is true. The Holy | Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. He tells |
Tx:6.35 | it can so easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy | Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what never |
Tx:6.36 | all of your perceptions into the one parallel line which the Holy | Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of communication with God |
Tx:6.36 | because it means that all perception is guided by the Holy | Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve |
Tx:6.36 | guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy | Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy Spirit is |
Tx:6.36 | Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy | Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is true in your mind |
Tx:6.37 | between the ego's use of projection and projection as the Holy | Spirit uses it is very simple. The ego projects to exclude and |
Tx:6.37 | The ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The Holy | Spirit projects by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus |
Tx:6.37 | as one. Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the Holy | Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself, and |
Tx:6.38 | forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it. The Holy | Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by |
Tx:6.38 | can you perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy | Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your |
Tx:6.40 | The Holy | Spirit still holds knowledge safe through His impartial perception. |
Tx:6.41 | to be conflict-free yourselves, you must learn only from the Holy | Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you denied |
Tx:6.42 | The only real safety lies in projecting only the Holy | Spirit because, as you see His gentleness in others, your own mind |
Tx:6.45 | Remember that the Holy | Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks first |
Tx:6.45 | at any moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the Holy | Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer |
Tx:6.47 | fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The Holy | Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers. Everyone has |
Tx:6.47 | and in one way or another and has been answered. Since the Holy | Spirit answers truly, He answers for all time, which means that |
Tx:6.48 | The ego cannot hear the Holy | Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same mind that made it |
Tx:6.50 | Hear then the one answer of the Holy | Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. You are a Child of |
Tx:6.55 | That is why the Holy | Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the |
Tx:6.55 | never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the Holy | Spirit demonstrates does not exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of |
Tx:6.57 | Like any good teacher, the Holy | Spirit does know more than you do now, but He teaches only to make |
Tx:6.60 | The Holy | Spirit never itemizes errors because He does not frighten children, |
Tx:6.60 | are frightened, because they do not know the difference. The Holy | Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them away. |
Tx:6.60 | you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy | Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for what |
Tx:6.62 | clearly a separation device and therefore does not exist. The Holy | Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it into a |
Tx:6.63 | We have said that the Holy | Spirit is the motivation for miracles. This is because He always |
Tx:6.63 | By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. To the Holy | Spirit, there is no order of difficulty in miracles. This is familiar |
Tx:6.65 | The Holy | Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into being, just |
Tx:6.65 | insanity of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy | Spirit sees the body only as a means of communication and because |
Tx:6.66 | allegiance but always for what each one can get separately. The Holy | Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. He never |
Tx:6.76 | you that it is up to you to decide which voice is true, but the Holy | Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God, and your decision |
Tx:6.76 | before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the Holy | Spirit to decide for God for you. |
Tx:6.77 | that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The Holy | Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His second |
Tx:6.81 | that is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the Holy | Spirit will lead you on. |
Tx:6.82 | is critical to the whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy | Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His evaluation does not extend |
Tx:6.83 | What you must remember, however, is that what the Holy | Spirit rejects, the ego accepts. This is because they are in |
Tx:6.83 | issue vary, and that is why it promotes different moods. The Holy | Spirit never varies on this point, and so the one mood He engenders |
Tx:6.84 | The Holy | Spirit does not teach your mind to be critical of other minds, |
Tx:6.88 | that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy | Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not choose |
Tx:6.88 | it towards creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the Holy | Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are, but |
Tx:6.89 | will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the Holy | Spirit has prepared you for God. He is getting you ready for the |
Tx:6.95 | step, but I also told you that the third one follows it. The Holy | Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your vigilance is |
Tx:7.6 | is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the Holy | Spirit leads you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom |
Tx:7.6 | and nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the Holy | Spirit has the task of translating the useless into the useful, the |
Tx:7.10 | correct perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the Holy | Spirit with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and restores |
Tx:7.15 | change the form so that the original meaning is retained. The Holy | Spirit is the translator of the laws of God to those who do not |
Tx:7.17 | cannot be consistent unless it is remembered. That is why the Holy | Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He teaches |
Tx:7.22 | its purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The Holy | Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has made to teach the opposite |
Tx:7.22 | of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The Holy | Spirit has taken very diversified areas of your learning and has |
Tx:7.23 | You made the effort to learn, and the Holy | Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He adapts the ego's |
Tx:7.24 | to be no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy | Spirit teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in all |
Tx:7.30 | question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the Holy | Spirit never questions. His sole function is to undo the questionable |
Tx:7.31 | depressed, because they believe that they are literally “without the | Spirit,” which is an illusion. You do not put the Spirit in them by |
Tx:7.31 | “without the Spirit,” which is an illusion. You do not put the | Spirit in them by inspiring them, because that would be magic and |
Tx:7.31 | therefore would not be real healing. You do, however, recognize the | Spirit that is already there and thereby reawaken it. This is why the |
Tx:7.31 | This is why the healer is part of the resurrection and the life. The | Spirit is not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the part of the |
Tx:7.33 | be recognized and need only be recognized. Inspiration is of the | Spirit, and certainty is of God according to His laws. Both, |
Tx:7.34 | The Holy | Spirit must work through you to teach you He is in you. This is an |
Tx:7.34 | are in God, because you are part of Him. The miracles which the Holy | Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every part |
Tx:7.34 | God's Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the Holy | Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the laws |
Tx:7.35 | All abilities, then, should be given over to the Holy | Spirit, Who knows how to use them properly. He can use them only for |
Tx:7.35 | you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the Holy | Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into a way |
Tx:7.36 | to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate. The Holy | Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, |
Tx:7.36 | to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the Holy | Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the |
Tx:7.38 | its existence in your brothers. This strengthens the Holy | Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear. |
Tx:7.44 | The Holy | Spirit does not work by chance, and healing that is of Him always |
Tx:7.48 | could not have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the Holy | Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never changes |
Tx:7.48 | That is how you perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy | Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must think he |
Tx:7.53 | to Him and therefore to His Sons. This is the true communion of the | Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone and, by bringing it to |
Tx:7.54 | They make or create, depending on whether the ego or the Holy | Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return to the mind of |
Tx:7.60 | The Holy | Spirit undoes illusions without attacking them merely because He |
Tx:7.60 | by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said before that the Holy | Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is |
Tx:7.60 | the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy | Spirit does not want you to understand conflict; He wants you 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 |
Tx:7.61 | which are not true and would never have been called upon by the Holy | Spirit if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when |
Tx:7.64 | committed to untruth, perceiving in total contradiction to the Holy | Spirit and to the knowledge of God. |
Tx:7.65 | You can be perceived with meaning only by the Holy | Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any belief that |
Tx:7.68 | In this depressing state, the Holy | Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you are not |
Tx:7.71 | because it will be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy | Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of God. |
Tx:7.82 | as a way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the Holy | Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you give what |
Tx:7.83 | Projection, to the Holy | Spirit, is the law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of |
Tx:7.88 | as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the Holy | Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects will vanish |
Tx:7.89 | The Holy | Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is |
Tx:7.91 | is of the Soul, because that is how God created it. The Holy | Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the |
Tx:7.95 | to them. Your creations are protected for you, because the Holy | Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them into |
Tx:7.100 | Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy | Spirit will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of pain |
Tx:7.100 | goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether what the Holy | Spirit says is true, but whether you want to listen to what He says. |
Tx:7.101 | confusion is the cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy | Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be |
Tx:7.103 | The Holy | Spirit always sides with you and with your strength. As long as you |
Tx:7.103 | can this decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The Holy | Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you |
Tx:7.104 | of this decision is confusion, this is hardly surprising.] The Holy | Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts you, |
Tx:7.107 | The Holy | Spirit will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is |
Tx:7.110 | become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the Holy | Spirit, Who wants to teach him everything He knows. When a mind has |
Tx:8.8 | confused and totally confusing. Even if you could disregard the Holy | Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn nothing |
Tx:8.11 | and makes you afraid of your will because it is free. The Holy | Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing |
Tx:8.11 | of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy | Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how |
Tx:8.12 | We said before that the Holy | Spirit teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is the |
Tx:8.15 | To what else except all power and glory can the Holy | Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? His appeal, then, is merely |
Tx:8.17 | forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness. The Holy | Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you need |
Tx:8.18 | extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the Holy | Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means of |
Tx:8.20 | them in yourself, because it does not know where to look. The Holy | Spirit teaches you that if you look only at yourself, you cannot find |
Tx:8.23 | them. The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy | Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you. God |
Tx:8.41 | The ego's way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy | Spirit has one direction for all minds, and the one He taught me is |
Tx:8.54 | Remember that the Holy | Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication. Being |
Tx:8.54 | the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the Holy | Spirit interprets everything you have made in the light of what He |
Tx:8.54 | light of what He is. The ego separates through the body. The Holy | Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your |
Tx:8.54 | through it to others. You do not perceive your brothers as the Holy | Spirit does, because you do not interpret their bodies and yours |
Tx:8.55 | is God's way of making unlimited what you have limited. The Holy | Spirit does not see the body as you do, because He knows the only |
Tx:8.56 | If the body becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy | Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not see |
Tx:8.56 | done so by misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy | Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and |
Tx:8.61 | to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the Holy | Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the part of the |
Tx:8.61 | to the Soul. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy | Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this |
Tx:8.74 | upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the Holy | Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy Spirit |
Tx:8.74 | Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy | Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The ego as |
Tx:8.76 | endless prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The Holy | Spirit, perfectly aware of the same data, does not bother to analyze |
Tx:8.78 | It cannot be louder without violating your will, which the Holy | Spirit seeks to free but never to command. |
Tx:8.79 | The Holy | Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so |
Tx:8.79 | you. Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy | Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not |
Tx:8.79 | natural state of anything whose interpretation is left to the Holy | Spirit, Who perceives no attack on anything. Health is the result of |
Tx:8.80 | We once said that the Holy | Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He |
Tx:8.80 | questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy | Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's |
Tx:8.80 | the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy | Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for perception |
Tx:8.82 | joining means if you are sleeping under its guidance. Yet the Holy | Spirit, too, has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of waking |
Tx:8.83 | you place it? Whenever you wake dispiritedly, it was not of the Holy | Spirit. Only when you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep |
Tx:8.84 | love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The Holy | Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He taught |
Tx:8.94 | can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only what the Holy | Spirit sees that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times |
Tx:8.94 | you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy | Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask |
Tx:8.94 | But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the Holy | Spirit must remind you that this is not God's Will because it is not |
Tx:8.95 | is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that the Holy | Spirit does not answer you, but it might be wiser to consider the |
Tx:8.98 | it is still true that they do not want them. Can you ask the Holy | Spirit for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them? |
Tx:8.98 | “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them? [The Holy | Spirit is totally incapable of giving you anything that does not come |
Tx:8.100 | When you ask the Holy | Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because nothing can |
Tx:8.100 | a request. It is merely a denial in the form of a request. The Holy | Spirit is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of |
Tx:8.100 | at all, being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy | Spirit for anything because there is complete communication failure |
Tx:8.100 | failure between them. Yet you can ask for everything of the Holy | Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the |
Tx:8.100 | because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the Holy | Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it in His |
Tx:8.108 | Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the Holy | Spirit is what you really want, but you are still afraid of it. |
Tx:8.109 | if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the Holy | Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain |
Tx:8.109 | Yet it is equally certain that no response given by the Holy | Spirit will ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible |
Tx:8.110 | in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you ask of the Holy | Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are true |
Tx:8.111 | about him determines the message you receive. Remember that the Holy | Spirit is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can |
Tx:8.112 | Salvation is of your brother. The Holy | Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers you. You cannot hear |
Tx:8.112 | unless you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the Holy | Spirit or believe that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It |
Tx:8.113 | me. Knowing what you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the Holy | Spirit in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, |
Tx:8.118 | You can ask of the Holy | Spirit, then, only by giving to Him, and you can give to Him only |
Tx:9.1 | errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance the Holy | Spirit would have you maintain. Egos are critical in terms of the |
Tx:9.1 | this kind of sense because it is sensible to them. To the Holy | Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right |
Tx:9.3 | brother's ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy | Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be true if there is no |
Tx:9.3 | if there is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy | Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt |
Tx:9.3 | the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy | Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from it. |
Tx:9.4 | When you react at all to errors, you are not listening to the Holy | Spirit. He has merely disregarded them, and if you attend to them, |
Tx:9.5 | you are accepting yours. If you want to give yours over to the Holy | Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one way in |
Tx:9.7 | keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together. The Holy | Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your brother. His |
Tx:9.7 | ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy | Spirit forgives everything, because God created everything. |
Tx:9.11 | which is given you because you have forgotten how to do it. The Holy | Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural ability. By |
Tx:9.11 | its judgment. All their helpfulness lies in the judgment of the Holy | Spirit. |
Tx:9.14 | Forgiveness through the Holy | Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and |
Tx:9.14 | to be forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and to the Holy | Spirit, the effects of error are totally non-existent. By steadily |
Tx:9.23 | as the older ones, because form does not matter to the Holy | Spirit and therefore does not matter at all. According to the newer |
Tx:9.23 | equated with the mind, the mind's corrective power through the Holy | Spirit is denied. |
Tx:9.28 | him. Yet, being for him, it must also be for his patient. The Holy | Spirit is the only therapist. He makes healing perfectly clear in any |
Tx:9.29 | As you awaken other minds to the Holy | Spirit through Him and not yourself, you will understand that you are |
Tx:9.31 | How can you become increasingly aware of the Holy | Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with your |
Tx:9.32 | It seems to you that the Holy | Spirit does not produce joy consistently in you only because you do |
Tx:9.35 | not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very simply the Holy | Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will |
Tx:9.40 | It is perfectly obvious that if the Holy | Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with love on |
Tx:9.41 | is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the Holy | Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The ego is, |
Tx:9.44 | beyond it, because, within it, its foundation does stand. The Holy | Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system merely |
Tx:9.44 | Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. The Holy | Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. |
Tx:9.56 | What good can come of it? And if no good can come of it, the Holy | Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of God |
Tx:9.58 | it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is. Ask the Holy | Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be afraid of His |
Tx:9.66 | neither? You do not remember being awake. When you hear the Holy | Spirit, you merely feel better because loving seems possible to you, |
Tx:9.69 | decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy | Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of |
Tx:9.91 | the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy | Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is strengthened by this |
Tx:10.12 | merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, but the Holy | Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is |
Tx:10.12 | too often repeated that you do not know it. Whenever what the Holy | Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you do |
Tx:10.15 | You are asked to trust the Holy | Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but |
Tx:10.19 | And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the Holy | Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far |
Tx:10.20 | The Holy | Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He will not be |
Tx:10.22 | not real freedom, for it still depends on how you see it. The Holy | Spirit is there, although He cannot help you without your invitation, |
Tx:10.53 | The ego analyzes; the Holy | Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness comes only through |
Tx:10.63 | He would only have you learn your own will and follow it, not in the | spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom. |
Tx:10.73 | it is His Will to be known. The real world is all that the Holy | Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to perceive |
Tx:10.75 | what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the Holy | Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him |
Tx:10.80 | to be told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy | Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you believe that |
Tx:10.81 | asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The Holy | Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in |
Tx:10.81 | and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the Holy | Spirit, Who wills only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting the |
Tx:10.82 | the question. You have believed that to ask for guidance of the Holy | Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not |
Tx:10.87 | and are condemning God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy | Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against himself and perceive |
Tx:10.90 | in yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy | Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is |
Tx:11.6 | your help, and you will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy | Spirit does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do |
Tx:11.9 | is necessary to demonstrate the need for escape. The Holy | Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with the |
Tx:11.13 | it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy | Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into truth. And |
Tx:11.22 | for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy | Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you |
Tx:11.23 | carefully planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the Holy | Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it. You |
Tx:11.35 | investment in the world as you have projected it, allowing the Holy | Spirit to project the real world to you from the altar of God. |
Tx:11.39 | find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would keep? The Holy | Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to joy. For |
Tx:11.40 | yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the Holy | Spirit knows it for you, and He will guide you to your home because |
Tx:11.42 | it back. Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your | spirit. For Spirit is will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom. |
Tx:11.42 | Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your spirit. For | Spirit is will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your |
Tx:11.42 | awaits only the recognition that you have been redeemed. The Holy | Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish your |
Tx:11.53 | you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy | Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in |
Tx:11.54 | The Holy | Spirit is your strength because He perceives nothing but your Soul as |
Tx:11.55 | world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy | Spirit, and so it belongs to you. |
Tx:11.57 | The Holy | Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In |
Tx:11.57 | For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy | Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name. |
Tx:11.58 | you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy | Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as |
Tx:11.59 | He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. When the Holy | Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, |
Tx:11.60 | God's Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the | Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one |
Tx:11.61 | radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to everyone the Holy | Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His |
Tx:11.63 | The Holy | Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of His Presence, and |
Tx:11.63 | mass, of prediction and control is transcended, for what the Holy | Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving |
Tx:11.64 | You cannot see the Holy | Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you |
Tx:11.64 | is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy | Spirit shares His with you on earth. |
Tx:11.66 | I am the manifestation of the Holy | Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited Him. |
Tx:11.73 | for judgment is not your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy | Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His |
Tx:11.79 | became invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy | Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because |
Tx:11.79 | to you to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the Holy | Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He |
Tx:11.82 | Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the Holy | Spirit does not see it. Yet what He does see is yours to behold, and |
Tx:11.82 | truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy | Spirit looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is invisible |
Tx:11.89 | Long ago we said that the Holy | Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim is to |
Tx:11.89 | unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know. The Holy | Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His Son, He |
Tx:11.92 | sees will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy | Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end of |
Tx:11.92 | he believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy | Spirit stands at the end of time, where you must be because He is |
Tx:11.99 | real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy | Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it has |
Tx:12.10 | extent. You may also think that it would be easy enough for the Holy | Spirit to show it to you and dispel it, without the need for you to |
Tx:12.13 | it, and the whole world you think you control would vanish. The Holy | Spirit, then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut |
Tx:12.19 | love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy | Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His healing |
Tx:12.29 | makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your sight. The Holy | Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the encounter is |
Tx:12.30 | The Holy | Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the need for it |
Tx:12.31 | as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for like the Holy | Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The |
Tx:12.31 | occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in time, while the Holy | Spirit would release you from it. It is His interpretation of the |
Tx:12.44 | The Holy | Spirit is the light in which Christ stands revealed. And all who |
Tx:12.44 | they looked upon themselves with love, seeing themselves as the Holy | Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the truth in them came all |
Tx:12.67 | dreams of love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy | Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all perception is. |
Tx:12.68 | lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a world? Without the Holy | Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because of Him, the answer is a |
Tx:12.70 | Only the Holy | Spirit knows what you need. For He will give you all things that do |
Tx:12.73 | The Holy | Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need |
Tx:12.75 | to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy | Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the |
Tx:12.76 | gift to you, so was it the Father's gift to me, given me through His | Spirit. The sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's |
Tx:13.1 | All therapy is release from the past. That is why the Holy | Spirit is the only therapist. He teaches that the past does not |
Tx:13.2 | at its loftiest is never complete. Even the perception of the Holy | Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in |
Tx:13.4 | Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy | Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, being in the |
Tx:13.7 | and everywhere, for miracles offered the Son of God through the Holy | Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your part in the |
Tx:13.7 | Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy | Spirit knows your part in the redemption and who are seeking you and |
Tx:13.14 | of everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy | Spirit can separate the false and the true, which you have accepted |
Tx:13.16 | lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy | Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all |
Tx:13.21 | and cannot be used by you at all. They are used only by the Holy | Spirit, and it is that which makes them pure. [If you displace your |
Tx:13.21 | makes them pure. [If you displace your guilt upon them, the Holy | Spirit cannot use them.] For by preempting for your own ends what you |
Tx:13.25 | that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The Holy | Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were real, Atonement |
Tx:13.26 | The Holy | Spirit does not keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and show |
Tx:13.26 | gone. Give no reality to guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy | Spirit does what God would have Him do and has always done so. He has |
Tx:13.29 | in the Mind of God where you are. And this is reason, which the Holy | Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only illusions. All else |
Tx:13.38 | while you still remember the results of not sharing. The Holy | Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally |
Tx:13.39 | are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy | Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every |
Tx:13.39 | is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which the Holy | Spirit reminds you. |
Tx:13.40 | realize that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy | Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of |
Tx:13.41 | They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy | Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of |
Tx:13.42 | flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy | Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn |
Tx:13.43 | God willed you Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The Holy | Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will |
Tx:13.43 | save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy | Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty |
Tx:13.45 | The Holy | Spirit cannot fail to undo for you everything you have learned that |
Tx:13.45 | for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto peace. The Holy | Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His Mind for |
Tx:13.46 | cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy | Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone will not be |
Tx:13.47 | have the means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The Holy | Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego, except that |
Tx:13.47 | turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy | Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and |
Tx:13.50 | and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the Holy | Spirit in you, where you placed the dream. |
Tx:13.52 | Any direction which will lead you where the Holy | Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He knows |
Tx:13.53 | The Holy | Spirit, therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what you |
Tx:13.54 | The Holy | Spirit needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily |
Tx:13.54 | must first recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy | Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you believe that |
Tx:13.56 | The Holy | Spirit, seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins |
Tx:13.57 | they are kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy | Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not true. To these |
Tx:13.57 | delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing, the Holy | Spirit says, with steadfast quietness: |
Tx:13.59 | Like you, the Holy | Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He |
Tx:13.61 | you must give everything that you have learned over to the Holy | Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to learn the joyous |
Tx:13.68 | the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the ego and the Holy | Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision |
Tx:13.68 | ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy | Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all |
Tx:13.70 | has no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy | Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to |
Tx:13.72 | the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the Holy | Spirit would gladly offer him. |
Tx:13.74 | of value. Yet because they do not understand their will, the Holy | Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they will |
Tx:13.76 | no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the Holy | Spirit everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel. |
Tx:13.77 | define what salvation is and what you would be saved from. The Holy | Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from guilt. You have no |
Tx:13.77 | this strange distortion of the purity of the Son of God, the Holy | Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong protector of your |
Tx:13.79 | which no one in this world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's | Spirit teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne |
Tx:13.80 | Say to the Holy | Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. For His decisions are |
Tx:13.80 | know when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the Holy | Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His |
Tx:13.92 | summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The Holy | Spirit will not delay at all in answering your every question what to |
Tx:14.3 | It does not teach you what you are or what your Father is. The Holy | Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely teaches you how to remove |
Tx:14.4 | unlike the way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy | Spirit in your mind because only He shares the knowledge of what you |
Tx:14.4 | He shares the knowledge of what you are with God. And only the Holy | Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is. |
Tx:14.5 | of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the Holy | Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no |
Tx:14.14 | It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The Holy | Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would |
Tx:14.17 | The quiet light in which the Holy | Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness in which nothing |
Tx:14.20 | have made for breaking your communication with your Father. The Holy | Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing what has not been |
Tx:14.21 | You who made it are but expressing conflict, from which the Holy | Spirit would release you. Leave what you would communicate to Him. He |
Tx:14.28 | defend itself. Defense is of your making. God knows it not. The Holy | Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you made them |
Tx:14.29 | made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the Holy | Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation and |
Tx:14.30 | The Holy | Spirit asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have |
Tx:14.31 | purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy | Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity |
Tx:14.32 | that would hide your glory be brought to the judgment of the Holy | Spirit and there undone. Whom He would save for glory is saved for |
Tx:14.34 | know God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the Holy | Spirit shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting place |
Tx:14.34 | meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the Holy | Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that God |
Tx:14.40 | you God. The gift which you refused is held by Him in you. His | Spirit holds it there for you. God has not left His altar, though His |
Tx:14.43 | see no one can fail to understand. It is the message that the Holy | Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him. He recognizes it |
Tx:14.50 | no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the Holy | Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your |
Tx:14.55 | is for yourself. If you would remember your Father, let the Holy | Spirit order your thoughts and give only the answer with which He |
Tx:14.56 | As God communicates to the Holy | Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His communications |
Tx:14.56 | As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy | Spirit translate His communications through you so you can understand |
Tx:14.56 | all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy | Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother |
Tx:14.56 | you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy | Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for love. |
Tx:14.63 | in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy | Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches |
Tx:14.68 | certain aspects of your lives alone that the guidance of the Holy | Spirit is limited. Thus would you make Him undependable and use this |
Tx:14.69 | Do you think that what the Holy | Spirit would have you give He would withhold from you? You have no |
Tx:14.73 | the ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy | Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him. |
Tx:15.2 | teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the Holy | Spirit uses time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is His |
Tx:15.2 | time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy | Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal |
Tx:15.2 | To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy | Spirit the goal is life, which has no end. |
Tx:15.8 | The Holy | Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has |
Tx:15.8 | understanding the present, because you are afraid of it. The Holy | Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the |
Tx:15.8 | leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the Holy | Spirit, Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by which |
Tx:15.9 | The Holy | Spirit would undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present but |
Tx:15.12 | long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the Holy | Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need of |
Tx:15.13 | You will never give this holy instant to the Holy | Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it |
Tx:15.13 | to your willingness to be released and to offer time to the Holy | Spirit for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for |
Tx:15.13 | enslaved by time and thus make time their friend for them. The Holy | Spirit gives their blessed instant to you through your giving it. As |
Tx:15.15 | Time is your friend if you leave it to the Holy | Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole power |
Tx:15.15 | release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the Holy | Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him. |
Tx:15.16 | unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy | Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you will |
Tx:15.16 | instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy | Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can |
Tx:15.19 | are far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the Holy | Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your choice |
Tx:15.19 | is, therefore, your choice whether they support the ego or the Holy | Spirit in you. And you will know which you have chosen by their |
Tx:15.19 | their reactions. A Son of God who has been released through the Holy | Spirit in a brother, if the release is complete, is always |
Tx:15.19 | this, you have not given one single instant completely to the Holy | Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You will be |
Tx:15.20 | you hear one witness whom you have wholly released through the Holy | Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet |
Tx:15.25 | There is no doubt about what your function is, for the Holy | Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude, for |
Tx:15.26 | the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy | Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every decision you |
Tx:15.27 | hell and will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy | Spirit can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly and |
Tx:15.48 | In His function as Interpreter of what you have made, the Holy | Spirit uses special relationships, which you have chosen to support |
Tx:15.49 | The Holy | Spirit knows no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you have |
Tx:15.50 | you would substitute for another has not been offered to the Holy | Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for love. If you would |
Tx:15.52 | relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, the Holy | Spirit knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy |
Tx:15.53 | built by which to judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy | Spirit substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of |
Tx:15.54 | have been told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy | Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy |
Tx:15.62 | light behind it can have faith in love without fear. Yet the Holy | Spirit gives you this faith because He offered it to me and I |
Tx:15.62 | will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the Holy | Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that you |
Tx:15.69 | that binds the Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy | Spirit would remove from his holy mind. For the chain of savagery |
Tx:15.69 | at the relationships which the ego contrives and let the Holy | Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at |
Tx:15.75 | feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy | Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The |
Tx:15.75 | recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The Holy | Spirit cannot teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you |
Tx:15.79 | The holy instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy | Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant has |
Tx:15.83 | The Holy | Spirit is God's attempt to free you of what He does not understand. |
Tx:15.83 | And because of the Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The Holy | Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would teach you what |
Tx:15.84 | The Holy | Spirit knows that it is not understandable, and yet He understands it |
Tx:15.85 | your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy | Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays shining |
Tx:15.89 | If you would but let the Holy | Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the need your |
Tx:15.90 | of God's Son to what interferes with his release and what the Holy | Spirit must undo to set him free. For his belief in limits has |
Tx:15.91 | and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy | Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of |
Tx:15.92 | my birth into the world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy | Spirit teach you, and let me celebrate your birth through Him. The |
Tx:15.103 | This Christmas, give the Holy | Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed |
Tx:15.111 | I give you to the Holy | Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released, unless I |
Tx:16.1 | is shared. The capacity to empathize is very useful to the Holy | Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His way. [His way is very |
Tx:16.2 | you may be sure—if you will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy | Spirit relate through you, you will empathize with strength and both |
Tx:16.7 | because they contain an element of specialness. Only the Holy | Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He will |
Tx:16.13 | as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the Holy | Spirit bids you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows how, |
Tx:16.14 | Yet this is your position. You would have perfect faith in the Holy | Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not afraid to |
Tx:16.19 | makes for happiness. You have never given any problem to the Holy | Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You have |
Tx:16.25 | Your teaching has already done this, for the Holy | Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His |
Tx:16.25 | Self you do not know. And they communicate to you through the Holy | Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they |
Tx:16.41 | forget the truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The Holy | Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite with |
Tx:16.47 | can be no disagreement on this, because both the ego and the Holy | Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on what |
Tx:16.47 | on what completion is and how it is accomplished. The Holy | Spirit knows that completion lies first in union and then in the |
Tx:16.60 | unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the Holy | Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy instant is His |
Tx:16.69 | The Holy | Spirit asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts |
Tx:16.75 | Against the ego's insane notion of salvation, the Holy | Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy |
Tx:16.75 | Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy | Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to |
Tx:16.76 | not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy | Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring |
Tx:16.77 | will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy | Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have received what God |
Tx:17.7 | will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy | Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was |
Tx:17.13 | trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the Holy | Spirit to give you this is so intense He would not wait, although He |
Tx:17.19 | and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the Holy | Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a means of |
Tx:17.21 | The Holy | Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and |
Tx:17.23 | This is the only part of the relationship the Holy | Spirit sees because He knows that only this is true. You have made |
Tx:17.28 | it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly that the Holy | Spirit would not deprive you of your special relationships but would |
Tx:17.29 | relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy | Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the ego |
Tx:17.30 | system which the ego evolved to protect the separation from the Holy | Spirit was in response to the gift with which God blessed it and by |
Tx:17.30 | itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the Holy | Spirit is in close relationship with you because in Him is your |
Tx:17.30 | The relationship with Him has never been broken because the Holy | Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the separation. And |
Tx:17.36 | the love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of His eternal | Spirit are marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you |
Tx:17.44 | This is the first result of offering the relationship to the Holy | Spirit to use for His purposes. |
Tx:17.45 | This invitation is accepted immediately, and the Holy | Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of asking |
Tx:17.48 | the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed the Holy | Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not |
Tx:17.53 | You undertook together to invite the Holy | Spirit into your relationship. He could not have entered otherwise. |
Tx:17.61 | for the ego believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy | Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal determines it and is |
Tx:17.62 | Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy | Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact |
Tx:17.72 | calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy | Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours |
Tx:17.75 | This simple courtesy is all the Holy | Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, |
Tx:18.1 | perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the Holy | Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute is |
Tx:18.2 | The Holy | Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as |
Tx:18.2 | the ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy | Spirit sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge between |
Tx:18.2 | Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the Holy | Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to come between the |
Tx:18.8 | the living God you never left and Who never left you. The Holy | Spirit takes you gently by the hand and retraces with you your mad |
Tx:18.9 | here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy | Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him bring it here, where |
Tx:18.20 | The Holy | Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses |
Tx:18.20 | dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy | Spirit does in your special relationship. He does not destroy it nor |
Tx:18.21 | who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy | Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has |
Tx:18.23 | relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the Holy | Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy dreams |
Tx:18.32 | you realize that you cannot do more. Do not attempt to give the Holy | Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him and |
Tx:18.45 | is still a special relationship. Yet it is very useful to the Holy | Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will become the happy |
Tx:18.46 | is threatened by anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy | Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this |
Tx:18.48 | 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 keep us both in peace. |
Tx:18.52 | of the body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy | Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet love |
Tx:18.69 | of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy | Spirit comes and there abides. He will remain when you forget and the |
Tx:18.84 | the little thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy | Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no guide. |
Tx:18.85 | has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the Holy | Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it off, |
Tx:18.87 | Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy | Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and |
Tx:19.2 | is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to the Holy | Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make of |
Tx:19.2 | of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy | Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He |
Tx:19.15 | little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy | Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He would |
Tx:19.27 | for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The Holy | Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and would correct |
Tx:19.28 | that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy | Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you |
Tx:19.38 | before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy | Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of nothing you see |
Tx:19.38 | nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy | Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you will rest in |
Tx:19.39 | looking where He is and not apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy | Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them |
Tx:19.39 | for seeing then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy | Spirit will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have |
Tx:19.43 | apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the Holy | Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall away so quietly |
Tx:19.46 | briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the Holy | Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty purpose; |
Tx:19.53 | The Holy | Spirit has given you love's messengers to send instead of those you |
Tx:19.54 | If you send forth only the messengers the Holy | Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear |
Tx:19.54 | ask love's messengers to remove from it and see it still. The Holy | Spirit has given you His messengers to send to each other and return |
Tx:19.62 | Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what can suffer? The Holy | Spirit does not demand you sacrifice the hope of the body's pleasure; |
Tx:19.62 | can it bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy | Spirit asks, and this He would remove. |
Tx:19.68 | Your little part is but to give the Holy | Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave |
Tx:19.73 | is given by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the Holy | Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize that here the |
Tx:19.73 | recognize that here the sender and receiver are the same. The Holy | Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would keep |
Tx:19.76 | is offered must also be received to be truly given. For the Holy | Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the Father and |
Tx:19.76 | and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy | Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent through |
Tx:19.77 | To you in whose special relationship the Holy | Spirit entered, it is given to release and be released from the |
Tx:19.86 | you. Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy | Spirit, and protected by God Himself. It needs not your protection; |
Tx:19.94 | it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace and drive the Holy | Spirit from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition that |
Tx:19.94 | you love Him. The exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the | Spirit, which you love as you could never love the body. And the |
Tx:19.102 | of you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the Holy | Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him or accept his |
Tx:19.106 | separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy | Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer to the |
Tx:19.106 | 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 Him in return for |
Tx:20.11 | of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy | Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for his |
Tx:20.22 | a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the Holy | Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the stranger is made |
Tx:20.28 | at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy | Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no power to |
Tx:20.28 | and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy | Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus |
Tx:20.28 | you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy | Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and |
Tx:20.29 | so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving, as the Holy | Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the laws of God in |
Tx:20.35 | function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy | Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. |
Tx:20.41 | little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the Holy | Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the body to |
Tx:20.44 | Be comforted and feel the Holy | Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what He |
Tx:20.49 | idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here love cannot enter. The Holy | Spirit does not build His temples where love can never be. Would He |
Tx:20.51 | escaped the body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the Holy | Spirit has set His temple there. |
Tx:20.54 | relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy | Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will endure forever. Its |
Tx:20.60 | To obtain the goal, the Holy | Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as |
Tx:20.65 | is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the Holy | Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship |
Tx:20.69 | it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy | Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to |
Tx:20.70 | The Holy | Spirit guarantees that what God willed and gave you shall be yours. |
Tx:20.70 | be preferred and chosen to replace the holy home the Holy | Spirit offers, where He will dwell with you? |
Tx:20.76 | all or merely judged against. Vision is the means by which the Holy | Spirit translates your nightmares into happy dreams; your wild |
Tx:21.13 | transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the Holy | Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on which |
Tx:21.17 | for God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy | Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this |
Tx:21.22 | The Holy | Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it easily |
Tx:21.29 | the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is why the Holy | Spirit must change its purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless |
Tx:21.32 | by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them the Holy | Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all illusions where |
Tx:21.34 | The Holy | Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought to |
Tx:21.34 | choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy | Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a |
Tx:21.37 | Those who believe in sin must think the Holy | Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose |
Tx:21.37 | is how they think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy | Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And |
Tx:21.39 | Think you the Holy | Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His purpose to |
Tx:21.41 | The Holy | Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will |
Tx:21.46 | There is no inconsistency in what the Holy | Spirit teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have perceived |
Tx:21.53 | being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy | Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since the |
Tx:21.66 | in order to escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy | Spirit still holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness. |
Tx:21.82 | if you are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the Holy | Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore |
Tx:22.20 | Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was given to the Holy | Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be |
Tx:22.26 | given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave the Holy | Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the savior |
Tx:22.46 | in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy | Spirit offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is |
Tx:22.52 | even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the Holy | Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is |
Tx:22.56 | in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy | Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His means must love |
Tx:22.58 | this.] Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the Holy | Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to whom He offers |
Tx:22.63 | because you can attack you must be different. Yet does the Holy | Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not different, you |
Tx:23.16 | is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy | Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed. |
Tx:23.50 | the miracles you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy | Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and make them |
Tx:24.15 | really are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the Holy | Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your specialness to which you |
Tx:24.52 | God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy | Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the |
Tx:25.8 | reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son and Holy | Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ |
Tx:25.8 | in the part of you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy | Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, |
Tx:25.9 | The Holy | Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of |
Tx:25.17 | The Holy | Spirit is the frame God set around the part of Him that you would see |
Tx:25.21 | giving it you learn to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy | Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has |
Tx:25.30 | must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The Holy | Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But |
Tx:25.47 | is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means the Holy | Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation. |
Tx:25.49 | The Holy | Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled. Think |
Tx:25.49 | easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy | Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against himself. Only in |
Tx:25.50 | And if the Holy | Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself into a |
Tx:25.54 | The Holy | Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the world you |
Tx:25.61 | rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point from which the Holy | Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your special |
Tx:25.63 | The Holy | Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your salvation. But He |
Tx:25.68 | their own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy | Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust |
Tx:25.69 | think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy | Spirit as if He were a messenger from hell sent from above in |
Tx:25.74 | cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the Holy | Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence at last, provided it is seen |
Tx:25.74 | sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy | Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love and |
Tx:25.75 | his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you give the Holy | Spirit that simple justice may be given you! |
Tx:25.77 | holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy | Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else |
Tx:25.80 | Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy | Spirit solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must |
Tx:25.80 | harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is impossible the Holy | Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To Him, what is unfair |
Tx:25.82 | as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the Holy | Spirit gives. |
Tx:25.84 | of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the Holy | Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep it for |
Tx:26.6 | reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor keep the Holy | Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear |
Tx:26.10 | not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the Holy | Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater difficulty |
Tx:26.11 | The Holy | Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you have. |
Tx:26.13 | does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true. The Holy | Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or |
Tx:26.15 | call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy | Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For what you give |
Tx:26.33 | who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy | Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and senseless |
Tx:26.73 | working out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy | Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you |
Tx:26.74 | This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the Holy | Spirit asks for what He gave without a cost at all. |
Tx:26.89 | it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy | Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every living |
Tx:26.90 | a purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the Holy | Spirit has brought injustice to the light within, and there has all |
Tx:27.3 | you offer 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 |
Tx:27.5 | and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy | Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a body |
Tx:27.12 | This thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy | Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your function both be |
Tx:27.20 | The “cost” of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the Holy | Spirit and the world interpret differently. The world perceives it as |
Tx:27.20 | statement of the “fact” that your salvation sacrifices his. The Holy | Spirit knows your healing is the witness unto his and cannot be apart |
Tx:27.21 | to prevent a shift of balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy | Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to reason with an argument |
Tx:27.26 | presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the Holy | Spirit must represent the other half until you recognize it is the |
Tx:27.27 | cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the Holy | Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill |
Tx:27.33 | by which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy | Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the time when aids |
Tx:27.44 | he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself? The Holy | Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to someone else. Yet by your |
Tx:27.54 | is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what the Holy | Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain compels |
Tx:27.74 | Rest in the Holy | Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those you |
Tx:27.85 | In gentle laughter does the Holy | Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else could He |
Tx:27.87 | The Holy | Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it |
Tx:28.3 | which is not used to interfere with truth. All things the Holy | Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him, without the |
Tx:28.4 | The Holy | Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet |
Tx:28.8 | This is the Cause the Holy | Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget. It is not past |
Tx:28.25 | Like every lesson which the Holy | Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what |
Tx:28.43 | The Holy | Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no gap |
Tx:28.43 | between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His Son the Holy | Spirit joined. |
Tx:29.29 | and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the Holy | Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to |
Tx:29.32 | intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy | Spirit gives to you who wait upon the Son of God and would behold him |
Tx:29.36 | does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy | Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and will |
Tx:29.60 | laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy | Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than |
Tx:30.33 | Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy | Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He speaks |
Tx:30.82 | cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is true. The Holy | Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose, changelessly |
Tx:31.5 | their learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the Holy | Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have |

Tx:31.53 | And both would go if either one were ever raised to doubt. The Holy | Spirit does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks if |
Tx:31.62 | You see the flesh or recognize the | Spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is real the |
Tx:31.62 | depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or | Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape |
Tx:31.62 | own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But choose the | Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your holy |
Tx:31.64 | Salvation does not ask that you behold the | Spirit and perceive the body not. It merely asks that this should be |
Tx:31.67 | Are you a | spirit, deathless and without the promise of corruption and the stain |
W1:43.1 | of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created the Holy | Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without this |
W1:43.1 | that it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy | Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth. |
W1:43.2 | to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy | Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception |
W1:64.2 | the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy | Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have made, and |
W1:64.2 | made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy | Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what |
W1:64.6 | from just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the Holy | Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is. |
W1:65.4 | range disciplinary training which your mind needs, so that the Holy | Spirit can use it consistently for the purpose He shares with you. |
W1:66.2 | The ego does constant battle with the Holy | Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So does |
W1:66.2 | what your function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy | Spirit about what your happiness is. It is not a two-way battle. The |
W1:66.2 | is. It is not a two-way battle. The ego attacks and the Holy | Spirit does not respond. He knows what your function is. He knows |
W1:66.9 | ego and is made up of illusions. The other is the home of the Holy | Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these to |
W1:66.9 | the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the Holy | Spirit always offers to replace it. |
W1:75.9 | your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy | Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. |
W1:77.6 | The Holy | Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The fact |
W1:78.6 | is more than friend when he is freed to take the holy role the Holy | Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today. Such is |
W1:78.10 | long for this. He would be free and make his freedom yours. The Holy | Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And |
W1:78.11 | dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy | Spirit to express through him the role God gave Him that you might be |
W1:78.11 | laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle of love the Holy | Spirit showed you in their place. The world and Heaven join in |
W1:80.2 | You have recognized your only problem, opening the way for the Holy | Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside and |
W1:90.5 | with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy | Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it |
W1:91.9 | are not a body, what are you? You need to be aware of what the Holy | Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You need to |
W1:95.9 | The Holy | Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be |
W1:96.4 | it has no place in which it could be really part of you. If you are | Spirit, then the body must be meaningless to your reality. |
W1:96.5 | Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self-expression. And | |
W1:96.5 | as means to find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves the | Spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from Spirit, |
W1:96.5 | the Spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from | Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet mind can |
W1:96.5 | its function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from | Spirit and perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. |
W1:96.6 | Yet mind apart from | Spirit cannot think. It has denied its Source of strength and sees |
W1:96.8 | and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy | Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace. |
W1:96.15 | and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will again flow out from | Spirit to the Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. |
W1:96.15 | Restored in strength, it will again flow out from Spirit to the | Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will |
W1:96.15 | flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things created by the | Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things. Confusion done, |
W1:97.2 | who rests in you whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the | Spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father's love and peace and |
W1:97.2 | endowed with all your Father's love and peace and joy. You are the | Spirit which completes Himself and shares His function as Creator. He |
W1:97.4 | You are the | Spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time stands |
W1:97.5 | which He needs today to help you understand with Him you are the | Spirit that abides in Him, and Which calls through His Voice to every |
W1:97.6 | The Holy | Spirit will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands |
W1:97.8 | Begin these happy exercises with the words the Holy | Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world through Him: |
W1:97.9 | Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed | |
W1:97.10 | Expressed through you, the Holy | Spirit will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its |
W1:97.11 | gladly to Him. And He will speak to you, reminding you that you are | Spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your Self. Listen for |
W1:97.12 | if you yield to the belief that you are something else. The Holy | Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them to |
W1:99.5 | The Holy | Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him |
W1:99.5 | because of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy | Spirit look on what you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and |
W1:R3.6 | is in your mind? Have faith in these reviews, the means the Holy | Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your |
W1:114.2 | [97] I am | Spirit. I am the Son of God. No body can contain my spirit nor impose |
W1:114.2 | [97] I am Spirit. I am the Son of God. No body can contain my | spirit nor impose on me a limitation God created not. |
W1:114.5 | I am | spirit. |
W1:131.17 | You cannot fail today. There walks with you the | Spirit Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some day and |
W1:137.9 | a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy | Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily |
W1:140.3 | The happy dreams the Holy | Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one |
W1:158.5 | His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the Holy | Spirit sees because the mind of Christ beholds it too. |
W1:161.3 | it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them to the Holy | Spirit that He may employ them for a purpose which is different from |
W1:184.11 | the world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy | Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget Creation has One |
W1:193.9 | These are the words the Holy | Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, all suffering |
W1:198.12 | unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the gift the Holy | Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let today be celebrated |
W1:199.2 | The mind that serves the Holy | Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and |
W1:199.4 | disappears because you have no need of it except the need the Holy | Spirit sees. For this, the body will appear as useful form for what |
W1:199.6 | The Holy | Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him they find |
W1:199.6 | it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the mind within the Holy | Spirit seeks. |
W1:199.7 | they are enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the Holy | Spirit can make use of your escape from bondage to set free the many |
W1:199.8 | return your mind to this? Then practice well the thought the Holy | Spirit gives you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in |
W1:R6.2 | our practicing in which we carefully review the thoughts the Holy | Spirit has bestowed on us in our last 20 lessons. Each contains the |
W1:215.1 | [195] Love is the way I walk in gratitude. The Holy | Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I give thanks |
W2:222.1 | renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move, the | Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its thoughts, and |
W2:236.1 | in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the Holy | Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I alone |
W2:263.1 | Father, Your Mind created all that is; Your | Spirit entered into it; Your Love gave life to it. And would I look |
W2:WIC.3 | Home of the Holy | Spirit and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at peace within |
W2:WIC.4 | The Holy | Spirit reaches from the Christ in you to all your dreams and bids |
W2:WIHS.1 | The Holy | Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. As He must bridge |
W2:WIHS.2 | achieved the only goal it has in truth. For learning, as the Holy | Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the |
W2:WIHS.3 | His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made. The Holy | Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain what |
W2:WIHS.4 | From knowledge, where He has been placed by God, the Holy | Spirit calls to you to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be |
W2:WIHS.5 | gift. It is a call from Love to Love that it be but itself. The Holy | Spirit is His gift by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to |
W2:WIRW.5 | The Holy | Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose. Now He |
W2:296.1 | The Holy | Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your |
W2:296.2 | of easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy | Spirit come to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to |
W2:WISC.3 | The Second Coming ends the lessons which the Holy | Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which learning |

W2:330.1 | mind that is made willing to accept God's gifts has been restored to | Spirit and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God |
M:2.5 | is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His | Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning |
M:6.4 | true giving possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy | Spirit in the patient's mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy |
M:6.4 | Spirit in the patient's mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy | Spirit in the mind of the giver Who gives the gift to Him. How can it |
M:7.2 | his previous effort. That was already maximal, because the Holy | Spirit so accepted it and so used it. Now the teacher of God has only |
M:11.3 | The text explains that the Holy | Spirit is the Answer to all problems you have made. These problems |
M:12.1 | becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly | spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a body. |
M:12.3 | and even they cannot communicate His messages directly through the | Spirit Which gave them. They need a medium through which |
M:12.3 | becomes possible to those who do not realize that they are | spirit. A body they can see. A voice they understand and listen to |
M:18.2 | can they proclaim the truth about themselves. Through them, the Holy | Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now He can |
M:21.3 | it symbolizes that which has no human symbols at all. The Holy | Spirit alone understands what this Word stands for. And this, too, is |
M:21.5 | symbols. And He Himself gives to the words they use the power of His | Spirit, raising them from meaningless symbols to the call of Heaven |
M:22.3 | become lord of the mind. How could the mind be returned to the Holy | Spirit unless the body is killed? And who would want salvation at |
M:25.2 | communication are the chief barrier to direct experience of the Holy | Spirit, Whose Presence is always there and Whose Voice is available |
M:25.3 | may be gathered on the way can be very helpful. Given to the Holy | Spirit and used under His direction, they are valuable teaching aids. |
M:25.4 | Nothing that is genuine is used to deceive. The Holy | Spirit is incapable of deception, and He can use only genuine |
M:25.4 | which can be curiously tempting. Here are strengths which the Holy | Spirit wants and needs. Yet the ego sees in these same strengths an |
M:25.4 | to weakness are tragedy indeed. Yet what is not given to the Holy | Spirit must be given to weakness, for what is withheld from love is |
M:25.6 | need of all abilities, for what the world would destroy, the Holy | Spirit would restore. “Psychic” abilities have been used to call upon |
M:25.6 | utilize their increased freedom for greater imprisonment. The Holy | Spirit needs these gifts, and those who offer them to Him and Him |
M:29.3 | —and a very important one—in referring decisions to the Holy | Spirit with increasing frequency. Perhaps you have not thought of |
M:29.4 | have all power. The image you made of yourself has none. The Holy | Spirit knows the truth about you. The image you made does not. Yet |
M:29.5 | and accept His gifts. And His gifts have no limit. To ask the Holy | Spirit to decide for you is simply to accept your true inheritance. |
M:29.6 | Never forget that the Holy | Spirit does not depend on your words. He understands the requests of |

Tx:5.85 | is the pull of God, on whom your mind is fixed because of the Holy | Spirit's irrevocable set. “Irrevocable” means “cannot be called back |
Tx:5.85 | be called back or redirected.” The irrevocable nature of the Holy | Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy Spirit |
Tx:6.31 | The perfect equality of the Holy | Spirit's perception is the counterpart of the perfect equality of |
Tx:6.72 | then, is the undoing of the getting concept. Accordingly, the Holy | Spirit's first lesson was “to have, give all to all.” We said that |
Tx:6.74 | mind in the thinker. Meanwhile, the increasing clarity of the Holy | Spirit's Voice makes it impossible for the learner not to listen. For |
Tx:6.76 | change it. As you begin to realize the quiet power of the Holy | Spirit's Voice and its perfect consistency, it must dawn on your |
Tx:6.84 | what you can project with perfect safety. Therefore, the Holy | Spirit's third lesson is: |
Tx:7.16 | The Holy | Spirit's purpose in translating is naturally exactly the opposite. He |
Tx:7.22 | to the learning. You could not have a better example of the Holy | Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The Holy Spirit has taken |
Tx:7.36 | The ego's goal is as unified as the Holy | Spirit's, and it is because of this that their goals can never be |
Tx:7.39 | are so apparent that they need no elaboration here, but the Holy | Spirit's decision to use the body only for communication has such a |
Tx:7.41 | develop and must develop if he is to be healed. Healing is the Holy | Spirit's form of communication and the only one He knows. He |
Tx:7.68 | unchangeable, no real conflict of will is possible. This is the Holy | Spirit's perfectly consistent teaching. |
Tx:7.101 | what is joyful and are in fact very apt to confuse the two. The Holy | Spirit's main function is to teach you to tell them apart. However |
Tx:8.10 | with you. His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the Holy | Spirit's lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that your |
Tx:8.13 | The Holy | Spirit's teaching takes only one direction and has only one goal. His |
Tx:8.59 | can be put. To use the body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy | Spirit's purpose and thus to confuse the goal of His curriculum. |
Tx:8.60 | In fact, it is ultimately why the world is depressing. The Holy | Spirit's curriculum is never depressing, because it is a curriculum |
Tx:8.78 | except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy | Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen. It cannot be |
Tx:8.83 | you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep according to the Holy | Spirit's purpose. You can indeed be “drugged by sleep,” but this is |
Tx:8.89 | The unification of purpose, then, is the Holy | Spirit's only way of healing. This is because it is the only level at |
Tx:8.93 | it remains available but cannot help you. When we said that the Holy | Spirit's function is to sort out the true from the false in your |
Tx:8.111 | words true and making you able to hear them. His words are the Holy | Spirit's answer to you. Is your faith in him strong enough to let you |
Tx:9.8 | to want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the Holy | Spirit's good use of an ability which you do not need, but which you |
Tx:9.15 | Miracles are merely the sign of your willingness to follow the Holy | Spirit's plan of salvation in recognition of the fact that you do not |
Tx:9.40 | Its evaluation of you, however, is the exact opposite of the Holy | Spirit's, because the ego does not love you. It is unaware of what |
Tx:9.41 | evaluations are, because you do not understand how lofty the Holy | Spirit's perception of you really is. He is not deceived by anything |
Tx:10.50 | be accomplished, and God's purpose can not. According to the Holy | Spirit's teaching, only God's purpose is accomplishment, and it is |
Tx:10.54 | perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of the Holy | Spirit's. The ego focuses on error and overlooks truth. It makes real |
Tx:11.3 | of all motivation that makes any sense. And because it is the Holy | Spirit's judgment, it requires no effort at all on your part. Every |
Tx:11.9 | By applying the Holy | Spirit's interpretation of the reactions of others more and more |
Tx:11.9 | a crucial step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how well the Holy | Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others will serve you then. |
Tx:11.13 | reality than by answering the appeal for it by giving it? The Holy | Spirit's interpretation of fear does dispel it, for the awareness of |
Tx:11.46 | The Holy | Spirit's love is your strength, for yours is divided and therefore |
Tx:11.56 | is for all who cannot see. To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy | Spirit's mission, for He knows that they have not lost their vision |
Tx:11.58 | holding out the Father's love to you in the quiet light of the Holy | Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his |
Tx:11.59 | in all situations, the transfer of your training under the Holy | Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you |
Tx:11.64 | to you as its presence becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy | Spirit's work, for you share in His function. As your function in |
Tx:11.65 | is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy | Spirit's purpose. You see what you expect, and you expect what you |
Tx:11.75 | That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the Holy | Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel guilty, you are listening |
Tx:12.17 | not crucified. Here is both his pain and his healing, for the Holy | Spirit's vision is merciful, and His remedy is quick. Do not hide |
Tx:12.29 | be, and the present is without meaning. It is evident that the Holy | Spirit's perception of time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The |
Tx:12.42 | He sees for you as your witness to the real world. He is the Holy | Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the real world and calling |
Tx:13.39 | from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the Holy | Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, |
Tx:13.62 | conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the Holy | Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up the way to |
Tx:14.23 | The Holy | Spirit's function is entirely communication. He therefore must remove |
Tx:14.38 | together of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy | Spirit's only function. Keep not your making from your Father, for |
Tx:14.50 | by judgment. [Therefore, it is not your function, but the Holy | Spirit's.] It will seem difficult for you to learn that you have no |
Tx:14.52 | The only judgment involved at all is the Holy | Spirit's one division into two categories—one of love and the other |
Tx:15.2 | your belief that this takes time, and that the results of the Holy | Spirit's teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the Holy |
Tx:15.10 | takes no time at all to be what you are. Begin to practice the Holy | Spirit's use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take |
Tx:15.42 | interferes with it go forever?” If the answer is no, then the Holy | Spirit's readiness to give it to you is not enough to make it yours, |
Tx:15.44 | to protect the thoughts you would keep unto yourself. Let the Holy | Spirit's purity shine them away and bring all your awareness to the |
Tx:15.45 | The holy instant is the Holy | Spirit's most useful learning device for teaching you love's meaning. |
Tx:15.53 | of reference for it. His frame of reference is simply God. The Holy | Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant, free |
Tx:15.56 | part of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy | Spirit's teaching, all relationships are seen as total commitments, |
Tx:15.77 | communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy | Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who believe that |
Tx:15.92 | time nor season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy | Spirit's function to use them both, though not as the ego uses them. |
Tx:17.57 | The practical application of the Holy | Spirit's purpose is extremely simple, but it is unequivocal. In fact |
Tx:17.57 | this it is apparent that it must be clear. The setting of the Holy | Spirit's goal is general. Now He will work with you to make it |
Tx:17.60 | noticeable that this approach has brought you closer to the Holy | Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The true becomes what can |
Tx:17.62 | requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy | Spirit's purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of |
Tx:17.70 | The power set in you in whom the Holy | Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond your little |
Tx:17.73 | in God must be a dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy | Spirit's goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has |
Tx:17.74 | of what every situation is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy | Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It |
Tx:17.76 | faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the power of the Holy | Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly |
Tx:18.28 | Your desire is now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy | Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can |
Tx:18.39 | it is not personally insulting that your contribution and the Holy | Spirit's are so extremely disproportionate. You are still convinced |
Tx:18.41 | have no meaning. The holy instant, your holy relationship, the Holy | Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which salvation is |
Tx:18.42 | Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy | Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a |
Tx:18.44 | to understand. You do not even realize you have accepted the Holy | Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely bring unholy means |
Tx:19.4 | from being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy | Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to stand |
Tx:19.12 | for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy | Spirit's perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a |
Tx:19.37 | extending past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy | Spirit's purpose from your relationship to others to bring them |
Tx:19.39 | the peace in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy | Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What need is there for |
Tx:19.42 | The Holy | Spirit's purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still |
Tx:19.61 | murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is fear. The Holy | Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the body, calling the mind to |
Tx:19.79 | is not to death nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy | Spirit's purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced death, |
Tx:20.9 | have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy | Spirit's purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables |
Tx:20.10 | not. Nor can you use what I have given unless you share it. The Holy | Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a |
Tx:20.33 | must enter here to learn its special function in the Holy | Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is |
Tx:20.49 | The Holy | Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The body is an |
Tx:20.50 | You cannot make the body the Holy | Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of love. It is the |
Tx:20.51 | Your temple is not threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy | Spirit's purpose lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies. |
Tx:20.58 | bring you only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy | Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose. |
Tx:20.66 | that his sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy | Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing look upon is |
Tx:20.69 | sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy | Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come |
Tx:21.40 | upon quite differently. You can have faith in it to serve the Holy | Spirit's goal and give it power to serve as means to help the blind |
Tx:21.44 | And what your reason tells you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy | Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego knows |
Tx:21.44 | no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy | Spirit's purpose as its own? |
Tx:21.45 | And now you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy | Spirit's purpose, and so there must be something else. Think not that |
Tx:21.55 | and you have gone past this. Reason is a means which serves the Holy | Spirit's purpose in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and |
Tx:21.57 | with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy | Spirit's purpose accepted and accomplished both at once. Reason is |
Tx:22.21 | ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy | Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their |
Tx:22.59 | your Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy | Spirit's function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only that |
Tx:25.9 | as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy | Spirit's function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what |
Tx:25.46 | Such is the Holy | Spirit's kind perception of specialness—His use of what you made, |
Tx:25.67 | denies that it is real. It is impossible for you to share the Holy | Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of specialness at all. |
Tx:25.67 | for those who still believe sin meaningful to understand the Holy | Spirit's justice. |
Tx:25.75 | He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy | Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a |
Tx:25.76 | must be an injustice to them both, since they are equal in the Holy | Spirit's sight. Their Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who |

Tx:26.89 | And this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy | Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known |

Tx:2.49 | The | Spiritual eye literally cannot see error and merely looks for |
Tx:2.49 | solutions which the physical eyes seek dissolve in its sight. The | Spiritual eye, which looks within, recognizes immediately that the |
Tx:2.67 | Corrective learning always begins with the awakening of the | Spiritual eye and the turning away from the belief in physical sight. |
Tx:2.67 | this so often entails fear is because man is afraid of what his | Spiritual eye will see. We said before that the Spiritual eye cannot |

Tx:2.28 | Dissociation is quite similar. You should | split off or dissociate yourself from error but only in defense of |

Tx:4.103 | Every mind which is | split needs rehabilitation. The medical orientation to rehabilitation |

Tx:10.84 | his loving thoughts as his reality, for by denying that his mind is | split, you will heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and |
Tx:10.86 | Do not accept your brother's variable perception of himself, for his | split mind is yours, and you will not accept your healing without |
Tx:11.2 | behaviorally but not emotionally. This is quite evidently a mental | split in which you have attacked the integrity of your mind and |
Tx:11.30 | but an internal conflict of this magnitude he cannot tolerate. A | split mind is endangered, and the recognition that it encompasses |
Tx:11.30 | within itself is intolerable. Therefore the mind projects the | split, not the reality. Everything you perceive as the outside world |
Tx:11.32 | 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 could really |
Tx:11.37 | part 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 |

Tx:11.66 | strives for integration, and if it is split and wants to keep the | split, it will believe it has one goal by making it one. |
Tx:11.68 | that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the world as | split, you are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one goal |
Tx:11.78 | your sight into his Father. He did not change, but you did. For a | split mind and all its works were not created by the Father and could |
Tx:11.85 | as unworthy of love and deserving of punishment. But herein lies the | split. For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate from the |
Tx:12.1 | strong that you cannot resist it. On this issue, then, the deepest | split of all occurs, for if you are to retain guilt as the ego |
Tx:12.38 | madness, you overlook reality completely, and you see only your own | split mind everywhere you look. God calls you and you do not hear, |
Tx:16.30 | hate with love that makes love meaningless to you. The extent of the | split that lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the |
Tx:16.30 | split that lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the | split will remain unrecognized and therefore unhealed. |
Tx:16.32 | as a value in itself, but as a place of safety from which hatred is | split off and kept apart. The special love partner is acceptable only |
Tx:17.62 | does not perceive the situation as a whole. Therefore, it seeks to | split off segments of the situation and deal with them separately, |
Tx:18.1 | which the substitution occurred is thus fragmented and its purpose | split accordingly. To fragment is to exclude, and substitution is the |
Tx:18.84 | it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought that seems | split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is |
Tx:19.31 | rest. If sin is real, God must be at war with Himself. He must be | split and torn between good and evil—partly sane and partially |
Tx:19.32 | seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to be | split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God created holy |
Tx:24.27 | stands against yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to | split you off from God and make you separate from Him as its |
Tx:25.10 | oneness joined as one is meaningless. It is apparent that a mind so | split could never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all things |
Tx:25.70 | is not understandable to sinners because they think that justice is | split off from love and stands for something else. |
Tx:26.52 | opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's Will be | split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws of two |
Tx:27.23 | [In a | split mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive |
Tx:27.23 | conflicting purposes and different ends. Correction, to a mind so | split, must be a way to punish sins you think are yours in someone |
Tx:27.24 | in opposition to a half. And these two halves appear to represent a | split within a self perceived as two.] |
Tx:27.25 | an idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of function | split between the two. And what you would correct is only half the |

Tx:28.62 | no other choice, and no allegiance to be split between the two. A | split allegiance is but faithlessness to both and merely sets you |
Tx:31.15 | of peace. You see yourself divided into both these roles, forever | split between the two. And every friend or enemy becomes a means to |
W1:68.2 | just what holding grievances does to your awareness. It seems to | split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you |
W1:96.1 | good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of being | split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict |
W1:96.3 | The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be | split in two and still be what it is and must forever be. |

Tx:9.69 | waiting for your acceptance. Give up gladly everything that would | stand in the way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and |
Tx:10.2 | which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system will not | stand. |

Tx:15.92 | Father and the Son. For in this world, the attraction of guilt does | stand between them. Neither time nor season means anything in |
Tx:16.26 | faith in what you taught. For what you taught is true. Alone you | stand outside your teaching and apart from it. But with them you must |

Tx:16.31 | of love play out a conflict which does not exist. For symbols | stand for something else, and the symbol of love is without meaning |
Tx:16.41 | it. Turn with me firmly away from all illusions now, and let nothing | stand in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away |
Tx:17.55 | You | stand together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the |
Tx:17.55 | between the purpose that has been accepted and the means as they | stand now which seems to make you suffer, but which makes Heaven |

Tx:18.28 | as you agreed to take each other's. You will not separate, for I | stand with you and walk with you in your advance to truth. And where |
Tx:18.91 | perception return to you, assuring you that it is all there. Figures | stand out and move about, actions seem real, and forms appear and |

Tx:19.14 | do they do, returning the glad tidings that it was done to you who | stand together before the altar from which they were sent forth. |
Tx:19.41 | let a little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, | stand between your brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this little |
Tx:19.44 | Guilt can raise no real barriers against it. And all that seems to | stand between you must fall away because of the appeal you answered. |
Tx:19.44 | would call. His home is in your holy relationship. Do not attempt to | stand between Him and His holy purpose, for it is yours. But let Him |
Tx:19.45 | end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions | stand between you now. Look not upon the little wall of shadows. The |
Tx:19.64 | I am there already. We will surmount all obstacles together, for we | stand within the gates and not outside. How easily the gates are |
Tx:19.88 | sign nor symbol should be confused with source, for they must | stand for something other than themselves. Their meaning cannot lie |
Tx:19.95 | And now you | stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes |
Tx:19.96 | again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can | stand against your will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil |
Tx:19.98 | the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. No one can | stand before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus |
Tx:19.98 | look on it without complete forgiveness of his brother in his heart. | Stand you here a while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us |
Tx:19.100 | and love and tenderness. Before complete forgiveness, you still | stand unforgiving. You are afraid of God because you fear each other. |
Tx:19.110 | whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You | stand together, still without conviction they have a purpose. Yet it |
Tx:20.2 | crown of thorns; the gift of love and not the “gift” of fear. You | stand beside each other, thorns in one hand and lilies in the other, |
Tx:20.72 | in everything. Look through its eyes, and everything will | stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you will never |
Tx:21.3 | aware you can go through the doors you thought were closed but which | stand open before unseeing eyes, waiting to welcome you. |
Tx:21.28 | deny your whole reality. But grant that everything which seems to | stand between you, keeping you from each other and separate from your |
Tx:21.68 | to you who blessed him, reason will tell you that it cannot be you | stand apart from blessing. The gratitude he offers you reminds you of |
Tx:21.90 | desire for what will never change. For you have asked that nothing | stand between the holiness of your relationship and your awareness of |
Tx:22.3 | his own reality, because it is the truth. Just under Heaven does he | stand, but close enough not to return to earth. For this relationship |
Tx:22.40 | And so you | stand, here in this holy place, before the veil of sin that hangs |
Tx:22.47 | the means and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you | stand together with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and |
Tx:22.50 | on the belief that you are separate. Not one that does not seem to | stand, heavy and solid and immovable, between you and your brother. |
Tx:22.50 | must happen. For it is your unwillingness to overlook what seems to | stand between you that makes it look impenetrable and defends the |
Tx:23.23 | to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which the laws of chaos | stand could not be more apparent than emerges here. |
Tx:24.12 | your specialness instead. Against the littleness you see in him, you | stand as tall and stately, clean and honest, pure and unsullied by |
Tx:24.20 | that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy place does truth | stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing and in peace so |
Tx:24.32 | by a world of loveliness they do not see. Freedom and peace and joy | stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and call them to come |
Tx:24.37 | that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not | stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that you |
Tx:25.4 | the holy Christ unto Himself; nor are any differences perceived to | stand between the aspects of His holiness, which meet and join and |
Tx:25.5 | Framed in his body, you will see your sinfulness wherein you | stand condemned. Set in his holiness, the Christ in him proclaims |
Tx:25.7 | nothing hides the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you | stand there, before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that |
Tx:25.30 | perfect power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems to | stand between you and His gentleness. It is not there in His |
Tx:25.35 | for recognition and are gone forever. And in the sunlight you will | stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you will |
Tx:25.72 | and justice are not different. Because they are the same does mercy | stand at God's right hand and give the Son of God the power to |
Tx:26.27 | The holy place on which you | stand is but the space that sin has left. And here you see the face |
Tx:26.27 | and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could fear love and | stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for Heaven's altar |
Tx:26.36 | and no other way. For what has been undone no longer is. And who can | stand upon a distant shore and dream himself across an ocean to a |
Tx:26.43 | Forgive the past and let it go, for it is gone. You | stand no longer on the ground that lies between the worlds. You have |
Tx:26.78 | And would you trade Them for an ancient hate? The ground whereon you | stand is holy ground because of Them Who, standing there with you, |
Tx:26.79 | desolate. What hate has wrought have They undone. And now you | stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and make it like |
Tx:26.80 | their garments of insanity to join Them on the ground whereon you | stand. |
Tx:27.13 | accusation is a bar to love, and damaged bodies are accusers. They | stand firmly in the way of trust and peace, proclaiming that the |
Tx:27.30 | for nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot be must | stand for empty space and nothingness. Yet nothingness and empty |
Tx:27.32 | there are no symbols. Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can | stand for more than everything? Yet true undoing must be kind. And so |
Tx:27.34 | an instant in deciding that it is the only one you want. It does not | stand for double concepts. Though it is but half the picture and is |
Tx:27.43 | Here are the answers which will solve your problems because they | stand apart from them, and see what can be answered—what the |
Tx:27.52 | it finds. Your brother first among them will be seen, but thousands | stand behind him, and beyond each one there are a thousand more. Each |
Tx:27.67 | where you should look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all | stand within one little space. And it is here you find the cause of |
Tx:28.27 | This world is full of miracles. They | stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain and suffering, |
Tx:28.35 | but let your world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was seen to | stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness will be seen |
Tx:28.38 | by not accepting them as causing you and giving you effects. You | stand apart from them but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus |
Tx:28.41 | if you do your part, he will do his, for he will join you where you | stand. Call not to him to meet you in the gap between you, or you |
Tx:28.66 | with no effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house will | stand forever, for its strength lies not within itself alone. It is |
Tx:29.13 | welcome everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon you | stand and where His gifts for them are laid. |
Tx:29.42 | Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it | stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and nothing in the world |
Tx:29.53 | must seek beyond his little self for strength to raise his head and | stand apart from all the misery the world reflects. This is the |
Tx:29.53 | and quiet calm which liberates you from the world and lets you | stand apart in quiet and in peace [unlimited]. |
Tx:30.63 | When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they | stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look |
Tx:31.5 | what it was made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning | stand implacable before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its |
Tx:31.14 | Let us review again what seems to | stand between you and the truth of what you are. For there are steps |
Tx:31.47 | this: “I am the thing you made of me, and as you look on me, you | stand condemned because of what I am.” On this conception of the self |
Tx:31.55 | decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for now you | stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. And you must share |
Tx:31.57 | Seek not your Self in symbols. There can be no concept that can | stand for what you are. What matters it which concept you accept |
Tx:31.59 | question and been recognized as made on no assumptions which would | stand the light, then is the truth left free to enter in its |
Tx:31.66 | you would have him be, forget not that no concept of yourself will | stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be |
W1:44.6 | If you can | stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you will have no |
W1:45.12 | the idea throughout the day to appreciate your mind's holiness. | Stand aside, however briefly, from all thoughts that are unworthy of |
W1:66.13 | of the same as the same and the different as different. On one side | stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try today |
W1:69.5 | From where you | stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a brilliant light |
W1:73.2 | become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances and | stand between your awareness and your brothers' reality. Beholding |
W1:73.6 | that the barrier of grievances is easily passed and cannot | stand between you and your salvation. The reason is very simple. Do |
W1:81.5 | that I will see the light in me. And in this light will my function | stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight. My acceptance |
W1:87.4 | This cannot hide the light I will to see. You | stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this will look different. |
W1:94.2 | you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You | stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created |
W1:98.1 | Today is a day of special dedication. We take a | stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. |
W1:98.2 | 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 gone |
W1:98.3 | be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They took the | stand which we will take today that we may share their certainty and |
W1:98.4 | They will be with us—all who took the | stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they learned and |
W1:122.6 | Here is the answer! Would you | stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and |
W1:125.3 | will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We | stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the |
W1:129.5 | it for the world you want. Now is the last step certain; now you | stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you but |
W1:136.7 | to be seen as whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they | stand but for your own decision of what should be real, to take the |
W1:153.9 | we have left all fearful thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we | stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; |
W1:155.2 | madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth | stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity. |
W1:161.1 | Today we practice differently and take a | stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room |

Tx:26.26 | and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for nothing | stands between to push the other off. And in the space which sin left |
Tx:26.29 | has joined with but a single voice. This tiny spot of sin that | stands between you still is holding back the happy opening of |

Tx:27.18 | had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood is on his hands, and so he | stands condemned. Yet it is given you to show him by your healing |
Tx:27.30 | above all, a “living-death.” And so he has no meaning to you, for he | stands for what is meaningless. He represents a double thought, where |
Tx:27.30 | by the half it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And now he | stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot be |
Tx:27.47 | What | stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy |
Tx:27.59 | too, has symbols in a world of sin. The miracle forgives because it | stands for what is past forgiveness and is true. How foolish and |
Tx:27.69 | He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did not make. Helpless he | stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished by a separate |
Tx:28.65 | but in the frailty of the little gap of nothingness whereon it | stands? What can be safe which rests upon a shadow? Would you build |

Tx:30.74 | if there were, it would be necessary first there be some sin which | stands beyond forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than |
Tx:30.88 | solitude, for what you see means nothing. It will shift in what it | stands for, and you will believe the world is an uncertain place in |
Tx:31.74 | The concept of the self | stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the truth, and hides |
Tx:31.75 | himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing | stands between his sight and what he looks upon to judge what he |
Tx:31.82 | vision is withheld, and what they see is death. Their savior | stands, unknowing and unknown, beholding them with eyes unopened. And |
W1:29.3 | what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose | stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown you the |
W1:39.3 | world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world | stands to benefit. |
W1:39.8 | on any one in particular, search your mind for every thought that | stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea for today to |
W1:66.13 | different as different. On one side stand all illusions. All truth | stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the truth |
W1:69.1 | your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone | stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as the veil of your |
W1:72.8 | Others love the body and try to glorify and exalt it. But while it | stands at the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking |
W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which | stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can |
W1:78.1 | you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance | stands like a dark shield of hate before the miracle it would |
W1:78.3 | and as it lifts, you see the Son of God where he has always been. He | stands in light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance made the |
W1:78.9 | as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy light In which he | stands, that I may join with him. |
W1:92.9 | Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self | stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we |
W1:97.4 | You are the Spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time | stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these |
W1:98.2 | everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake | stands in our way, for we have been absolved from errors. All our |
W1:107.6 | Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth | stands far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn |
W1:107.7 | in that, evading capture and escaping grasp. It does not hide. It | stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that |
W1:122.5 | Be thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it | stands before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling |
W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only thing that | stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their |
W1:134.10 | condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness | stands between illusions and the truth, between the world you see and |
W1:151.12 | resurrection, for your life is not a part of anything you see. It | stands beyond the body and the world, past every witness for |
W1:169.13 | grace provided you. You carry them back to yourself. And revelation | stands not far behind. Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace and |
W1:170.5 | its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea | stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For it is |

Tx:8.108 | certain specific forms of healing are not achieved, even though the | state of healing is. It frequently happens that an individual asks |

Tx:13.87 | has been removed from the disordered mind that thought it was. This | state, and only this, must you attain with God beside you. For until |
Tx:15.15 | an instant in which God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless | state is beyond time, for his purity remains forever beyond attack |
Tx:18.33 | Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the | state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies |
Tx:18.66 | consuming, for all of them look to the future for release from a | state of present unworthiness and inadequacy. |
Tx:19.56 | I am made welcome in the | state of grace, which means you have at last forgiven me. For I |
Tx:20.52 | are or not. An unholy relationship is no relationship. It is a | state of isolation which seems to be what it is not. No more than |
Tx:21.1 | less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your | state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man |
Tx:21.8 | Listen—perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient | state not quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether |
Tx:21.32 | For faith and vision and belief are meaningful only before the | state of certainty is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. Yet Heaven |

Tx:22.31 | salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and brings you to a | state of mind in which salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, |
Tx:22.37 | real. Yet reason sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common | state of mind, where both give errors gladly to correction that both |
Tx:22.47 | you in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending, for in this quiet | state alone is strength and power. Here can no weakness enter, for |
Tx:23.13 | yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a | state where nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no |
Tx:23.18 | in which fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the | state where love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace |
Tx:23.37 | of Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any | state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like |
Tx:24.1 | motivation for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the | state of peace. Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition |
Tx:24.1 | is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. Given this | state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered |
Tx:24.29 | foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in such a | state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is safe, resting on |
Tx:24.67 | End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the | state of true creation, found not within time, but in eternity. To no |
Tx:25.6 | what you want yourself to be—the world you want to live in and the | state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied. It |

Tx:25.36 | home? Nothing before and nothing after it. No other place, no other | state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. |
Tx:25.37 | The | state of sinlessness is merely this: the whole desire to attack is |
Tx:25.64 | impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such a | state of mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is asked of |
Tx:25.81 | The world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a | state in which it is decided who shall win and who shall lose—how |
Tx:25.82 | the problem still remain unsolved, for only justice can set up a | state in which there is no loser, no one left unfairly treated and |
Tx:26.55 | Yet is this wish in line with Heaven's | state and not in opposition to God's Will. Although it falls far |
Tx:26.71 | a present cause. And it is this that needs correction, not a future | state. |
Tx:27.37 | every problem can be answered now. Yet it must also be that in your | state of mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given |
Tx:27.37 | Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to another | state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy |
Tx:27.41 | merely asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict | state is free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest |
Tx:27.46 | From there each one is born into this world as witness to a | state of mind which has transcended conflict and has reached to |
Tx:28.4 | Yet this is not a memory of past events, but only of a present | state. You are so long accustomed to believe that memory holds only |
Tx:29.1 | There is no time, no place, no | state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no |
Tx:29.15 | it seems to be in constant change. Yet what is that except the | state confusion really means? Stability to those who are confused is |
Tx:29.16 | the larger dream that change is possible. To change is to attain a | state unlike the one in which you found yourself before. There is no |
Tx:30.57 | The real world is the | state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be |
Tx:30.61 | yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a | state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go when they |
Tx:30.88 | for they are not in line with what you really are. This is a | state so seemingly unsafe that fear must rise. Do not continue thus, |
Tx:31.11 | an outcome that you do not want? It is the recognition that it is a | state of mind unwanted that becomes the means whereby the choice is |
Tx:31.54 | of sight into perception's law that what you see reflects the | state of [the] perceiver's mind. Yet who was it that did the choosing |

W1:169.8 | set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what must be a constant | state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We |
W1:170.1 | brings you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the | state in which you are for something better, safer, more secure from |

Tx:12.7 | This course has explicitly | stated that its goal for you is happiness and peace. Yet you are |

W1:R4.2 | unifies each step in the review we undertake, which can be simply | stated in these words: |
W1:154.13 | Our lesson for today is | stated thus: |
M:23.2 | We have repeatedly | stated that one who has perfectly accepted the Atonement for himself |
M:27.7 | Teacher of God, your one assignment could be | stated thus: accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not |

Tx:18.8 | they disappear from sight, far, far outside you. And turn you to the | stately calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God |
Tx:24.12 | Against the littleness you see in him, you stand as tall and | stately, clean and honest, pure and unsullied by comparison with what |

Tx:1.80 | extent to which I can share it. This may appear to contradict the | statement, “I and my Father are one,” but there are still separate |
Tx:1.80 | “I and my Father are one,” but there are still separate parts in the | statement in recognition that the Father is greater. (The original |

Tx:2.61 | that correction belongs at the thought level. To repeat an earlier | statement and to extend it somewhat, the Soul is already perfect and |
Tx:3.10 | 7. The biblical injunction, “Be of one mind” is the | statement for revelation-readiness. My own injunction, “Do this in |
Tx:3.28 | is. If nothing but the truth exists (and this is really a redundant | statement, because what is not true cannot exist) right-minded seeing |

Tx:5.32 | partly yours and also partly God's. This needs clarification, not in | statement, since we have said it before, but in experience. |
Tx:5.37 | when we say that “now is the only time.” The literal nature of this | statement does not mean anything to the ego, which interprets it at |
Tx:5.77 | fear anywhere in the Sonship. “The wicked shall perish” is merely a | statement of fact if the word “perish” is properly understood. Every |

Tx:6.26 | do not believe is yours. You are excluding yourself by the very | statement you are making that you are different from the one on whom |
Tx:6.34 | The ego cannot prevail against this because it is an explicit | statement that the ego never occurred. |
Tx:6.59 | could be included in only three words: “Do only that!” This simple | statement is perfectly clear, easily understood, and very easily |
Tx:6.95 | The third step, then, is a | statement of what you want to believe and entails a willingness to |
Tx:7.13 | of the extremely personal nature of revelation, we followed this | statement immediately with a description of the inevitable outcomes |
Tx:8.74 | A more honest | statement would be as follows: Those who want the ego are predisposed |
Tx:9.29 | work. “The good is what works” is a sound, though insufficient, | statement. Only the good can work. Nothing else works at all. This |
Tx:15.66 | for the ego believes that anger makes friends. This is not its | statement, but it is its purpose. For the ego really believes that it |
Tx:17.49 | wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit | statement? Now He asks for faith a little longer, even in |
Tx:18.68 | and practice, doing nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a | statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for |
Tx:19.4 | Do not overlook our earlier | statement that faithlessness leads straight to illusions. For |
Tx:21.21 | for his will, a mad revolt against what must forever be. This is the | statement that he has the power to make God powerless and so to take |
Tx:26.21 | and does not exist. This is not your decision. It is but a simple | statement of a simple fact. But in this world, there are no simple |
Tx:27.20 | and the world interpret differently. The world perceives it as a | statement of the “fact” that your salvation sacrifices his. The Holy |
Tx:27.87 | their form. And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple | statement, |
Tx:30.25 | is but acknowledgment of lack of opposition to be helped. It is a | statement of an open mind, not certain yet, but willing to be shown: |
Tx:30.29 | is really all. The first rule, then, is not coercion but a simple | statement of a simple fact. You will not make decisions by yourself |
Tx:30.80 | Here is the joyful | statement that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the Will |
Tx:30.80 | your wish to make illusions real. And what is this except a simple | statement of the truth? |
Tx:31.56 | not concern itself with content of the mind, but with the simple | statement that it thinks. And what can think has choice and can be |
Tx:31.59 | free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no | statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this: |
W1:1.5 | to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the exercise. The | statement is merely applied to anything you see. As you practice |
W1:5.5 | than to others. It might help to precede the exercises with the | statement: |
W1:10.3 | not thinking. This is merely another way of repeating our earlier | statement that your mind is really a blank. To recognize this is to |
W1:13.6 | Repeat this | statement to yourself as you look about. Then close your eyes and |
W1:13.8 | to avoid resistance in one form or another to this concluding | statement. Whatever form such resistance may take, remind yourself |
W1:13.8 | the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not expected to believe the | statement at this point and will probably try to dismiss it as |
W1:13.8 | very inexperienced in recognizing. Do not dwell on the concluding | statement, and try not even to think of it except during the exercise |
W1:18.5 | Conclude the practice period by repeating the more general | statement: |
W1:25.8 | slowly, without shifting your eyes until you have completed the | statement. Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's idea |
W1:R1.6 | the ideas are not always given in quite their original form of | statement. Use them as they are given here. It is not necessary to |

W1:61.1 | a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a | statement of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception. It does not |
W1:67.1 | Today's idea is a complete and accurate | statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the |
W1:70.8 | these practice periods by repeating the idea for today, adding a | statement signifying your recognition that salvation comes from |
W1:76.14 | ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is our | statement of freedom from all danger and all tyranny. It is our |
W1:77.1 | you are one with God. Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a | statement of your true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate |
W1:77.6 | today. We are asking a real question at last. The answer is a simple | statement of a simple fact. You will receive the assurance that you |
W1:80.3 | this. One problem—one solution. Accept the peace this simple | statement brings. |
W1:88.5 | [76] I am under no laws but God's. Here is the perfect | statement of my freedom. I am under no laws but God's. I am |
W1:91.6 | Begin the longer practice periods with this | statement of true cause and effect relationships: |
W1:91.8 | The question with which this | statement ends is needed for our exercises today. What you think you |

W1:94.1 | continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one | statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one |
W1:110.8 | Then, with this | statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind the Self |
W1:122.6 | disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple | statement of the truth. |
W1:126.1 | reversal which this course will bring about. If you believed this | statement, there would be no problem in complete forgiveness, |

W1:186.1 | Here is the | statement that will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. |
M:7.3 | the teacher of God must trust. This is what is really meant by the | statement that the one responsibility of the miracle worker is to |

Tx:2.12 | will because all loving creation is freely given. Nothing in these | statements implies any sort of level involvement or in fact anything |
Tx:3.10 | cooperation from miracle workers. It should be noted that the two | statements are not in the same order of reality. The latter involves |
Tx:3.51 | distinction which will greatly facilitate clarity in our subsequent | statements. |
W1:1.5 | Notice that these | statements are not arranged in any order, and make no allowance for |

M:19.3 | All concepts of your brothers and yourself, all fears of future | states, and all concern about the past stem from injustice. Here is |

Tx:3.6 | 3. Another way of | stating the above point is: Never confuse right- with |
W1:13.8 | or covert fear which it may arouse. This is our first attempt at | stating an explicit cause and effect relationship of a kind which you |
W1:20.4 | that you do not see now. Therefore, as you repeat the idea, you are | stating that you are determined to change your present state for a |
W1:93.8 | for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by | stating the truth about our creation: |
status (6) | ||
Tx:4.38 | a fact, after which no one attempts to evaluate it unless its | status as fact is questioned. Every idea to which the ego has |
Tx:4.38 | as fact is questioned. Every idea to which the ego has accorded the | status of fact is questionable, because facts are in the realm of |
Tx:5.71 | rather than eternity and have therefore changed your belief in your | status. Yet your election is both free and alterable. You do not |
Tx:19.22 | if truth be left to judge it. But if the mistake is given the | status of truth, to what can it be brought? The “holiness” of sin is |
Tx:19.27 | but without the loss of its appeal. And suddenly you change its | status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat it; you will |

stayed (4) | ||
Tx:5.83 | For example, “God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is | stayed (or set) on Him,” a statement which means that God's peace is |
Tx:21.8 | in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the whole song has | stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, attached not to a |
W1:124.3 | gift to those who follow after and to those who went before or | stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal love in |

Tx:10.34 | many forms, and these you must learn to recognize and to oppose | steadfastly and without exception. This is a crucial step in the |

steadily (7) | ||
Tx:8.11 | that the will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy Spirit leads you | steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how to disregard or |
Tx:9.14 | the Holy Spirit, the effects of error are totally non-existent. By | steadily and consistently canceling out all its effects everywhere |
Tx:13.29 | is no other way to look within and see the light of love shining as | steadily and as surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And |
Tx:15.8 | the present, because you are afraid of it. The Holy Spirit leads as | steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the Holy Spirit, |
Tx:21.65 | For reason, kind as is the purpose for which it is the means, leads | steadily away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you |

Tx:2.26 | Intellectualization is a term which | stems from the mind-brain confusion. “Right-mindedness” is the device |
Tx:4.5 | is a reasonably representative example of the kind of thinking which | stems from it. The idea of buying and selling implies precisely the |
Tx:5.60 | ego's belief in it. This is the belief from which all guilt really | stems. |
Tx:7.56 | The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself is enormous, but it | stems from the power of the mind, which the ego denies. This means |
Tx:8.100 | can hurt you and so you are asking for nothing. Any desire which | stems from the ego is a desire for nothing and to ask for it is not a |
Tx:10.44 | is always the natural extension of what it is. Everything that | stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and |
Tx:12.6 | murder. You do not yet understand that all your fear of this course | stems ultimately from this interpretation, but if you will consider |
Tx:15.24 | and found littleness, remember this: Every decision which you make | stems from what you think you are and represents the value that you |
Tx:18.3 | effect lies in the fragmented perception from which the behavior | stems. No one is seen complete. The body is emphasized, with special |
Tx:21.52 | All sorts of questions may arise in it, but if the basic question | stems from reason, it will not ask it. Like all that stems from |
Tx:21.52 | basic question stems from reason, it will not ask it. Like all that | stems from reason, the basic question is obvious, simple, and remains |
Tx:25.23 | want it there. Perception has no other law than this. The rest but | stems from this, to hold it up and offer it support. This is |
W1:130.6 | point of view from which you see it. It is all a piece because it | stems from one emotion and reflects its source in everything you see. |
W1:135.4 | Defense is frightening. It | stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense is made. You think |
W2:319.2 | Father, Your Will is total. And the goal that | stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the salvation of the |
step (177) | ||
Tx:1.23 | A. The recognition that darkness cannot hide. This | step usually entails fear. |
Tx:1.24 | that there is nothing you want to hide, even if you could. This | step brings escape from fear. |

Tx:2.45 | Perceiving the body as a temple is only the first | step in correcting this kind of distortion. It alters part of the |
Tx:2.45 | of Atonement in physical terms is not appropriate. However, the next | step is to realize that a temple is not a building at all. Its real |
Tx:2.53 | A major | step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. Illness, |
Tx:2.82 | The first corrective | step is know first that this is an expression of fear. Then say to |
Tx:2.109 | between free and imprisoned will cannot but continue. The first | step toward freedom must entail a sorting out of the false from the |
Tx:3.32 | Questioning illusions is the first | step in undoing them. The miracle, or the “right answer,” corrects |
Tx:4.36 | One-Mindedness can be restored. Right-mindedness dictates the next | step automatically, because right perception is uniformly without |
Tx:4.52 | destroy what you have made. No one can see through a wall, but I can | step around it. Watch your minds for the scraps of meanness or you |
Tx:4.53 | other. If you will really try to do this, you have taken the first | step toward preparing your mind for the Holy One to enter. We will |
Tx:4.64 | minds carefully for any beliefs that hinder its accomplishment, and | step away from them. Judge how well you have done this by your own |
Tx:4.91 | and, as you withdraw from him, I become distant to you. Your giant | step forward was to insist on a “collaborative venture.” This does |
Tx:5.12 | here to use the literal meaning of “carried” over since the last | step is taken by God. |
Tx:5.95 | to be wholly joyous if that is how you feel. Therefore, the first | step in the undoing is to recognize that you actively decided wrongly |
Tx:6.68 | This is a very preliminary | step, and the only one you must take for yourself. It is not even |
Tx:6.68 | take for yourself. It is not even necessary that you complete the | step yourself, but it is necessary that you turn in that direction. |
Tx:6.69 | This | step appears to exacerbate conflict rather than resolve it, because |
Tx:6.69 | conflict rather than resolve it, because it is the beginning | step in reversing your perception and turning it right-side up. This |
Tx:6.69 | direction would not have been necessary. Some people remain at this | step for a very long time, experiencing very acute conflict. At this |
Tx:6.69 | point, many try to accept the conflict rather than take the next | step towards its resolution. Having taken the first step, however, |

Tx:6.79 | are still not equated. It is, however, more advanced than the first | step, which is really only a thought reversal. The second step is a |
Tx:6.79 | the first step, which is really only a thought reversal. The second | step is a positive affirmation of what you want. This, then, is a |
Tx:6.79 | step is a positive affirmation of what you want. This, then, is a | step in the direction out of conflict since it means that |
Tx:6.80 | implies that the desirable has degrees. Therefore, although this | step is essential for the ultimate decision, it is clearly not the |

Tx:6.80 | The second step, then, is still perceptual, although it is a giant | step toward the unified perception which parallels God's knowing. |

Tx:7.6 | the timeless. He can therefore tell you something about this last | step, although this one you must know yourself, since by it you know |

Tx:11.9 | the need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial | step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how well the Holy Spirit's |

Tx:17.47 | would be obscured and the ego given time to reinterpret each slow | step according to its liking. Only a radical shift in purpose could |
Tx:18.93 | to clothe you and protect you and make you ready for the final | step in the journey inward. Here are the dark and heavy garments of |

Tx:19.39 | What need is there for seeing then? When God has taken the last | step Himself, the Holy Spirit will gather all your thanks and |
Tx:19.92 | the cleavage of your Self from you—the fear of God, the final | step in your dissociation. |
Tx:20.76 | sounds the ego's purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They | step away from sin, reminding you that it is not reality which |
Tx:22.5 | Let reason take another | step. If you attack whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, |
Tx:23.39 | it follows that it seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid | step in ordered thought. The steps to chaos do follow neatly from |
Tx:23.39 | leading still deeper into terror and away from truth. Think not one | step is smaller than another nor that return from one is easier. The |
Tx:23.40 | Brothers, take not one | step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you will not |
Tx:24.20 | come far along the way of truth—too far to falter now. Just one | step more and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in |
Tx:25.19 | your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will | step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see the |
Tx:26.18 | decide between. And only if there were could choosing be a necessary | step in the advance toward oneness. What is everything leaves room |
Tx:26.31 | resolve and happy confidence, holding each other's hand and keeping | step to Heaven's song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to |
Tx:27.34 | but is not canceled out. And thus is God left free to take the final | step Himself. [For this you need no pictures and no learning aids.] |
Tx:28.22 | dream a dream and that its content is not true. This is a crucial | step in dealing with illusions. No one is afraid of them when he |
Tx:28.24 | This is the separation's final | step with which salvation, which proceeds to go the other way, |
Tx:28.24 | salvation, which proceeds to go the other way, begins. This final | step is an effect of what has gone before, appearing as a cause. The |
Tx:28.24 | what has gone before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first | step in giving back to cause the function of causation, not effect. |
Tx:28.27 | Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course of every | step in the descent to separation, until all the steps have been |
Tx:29.37 | seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are means to | step aside from dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading |
Tx:30.1 | depends on this one thing alone—your willingness to practice every | step. Each one will help a little every time it is attempted. And |
Tx:30.2 | rest. It is not wise to let yourself become preoccupied with every | step you take. The proper set, adopted consciously each time you |
Tx:30.17 | This much is obvious and paves the way for the next easy | step. |

Tx:30.59 | ready to arise and go with him. For thus is he made ready for the | step in which is all forgiveness left behind. |

Tx:31.25 | For next to you is One Who holds the light before you so that every | step is made in certainty and sureness of the road. A blindfold can |
Tx:31.38 | that there is a real alternative instead. To fight against this | step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to learn to |
Tx:31.55 | Although this | step has gains, it does not yet approach a basic question. Something |

Tx:2.80 | strength to do comes from your own undivided will to do. There is no | strain in doing God's Will as soon as you recognize that it is also |
Tx:2.81 | it is conflicted in what it wills, thus producing inevitable | strain because willing and doing become discordant. This cannot be |
Tx:3.65 | of being tired, but you are very capable of wearying yourselves. The | strain of constant judgment is virtually intolerable. It is a curious |

Tx:7.108 | environment and does not function well. Everything he does becomes a | strain, because he was not created for the environment that he has |
Tx:7.108 | God. That is the only environment in which he will not experience | strain, because that is where he belongs. It is also the only |
Tx:10.61 | Learning of Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no | strain at all. His perceptions are your natural awareness, and it is |
Tx:11.6 | your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your sense of | strain comes from your attempts not to do just this. |
Tx:13.74 | it for them and gives them what they will without effort, | strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they want and need |

Tx:17.77 | To you who have acknowledged the call of your Redeemer, the | strain of not responding to His call seems to be greater than before. |
Tx:17.77 | call seems to be greater than before. This is not so. Before, the | strain was there but you attributed it to something else, believing |
Tx:17.77 | and fiery dreams of hell. And it was nothing but the intolerable | strain of refusing to give faith to truth and see its evident reality. |
Tx:24.15 | what you are seems silent and unheard before its “mightiness.” You | strain your ears to hear its soundless voice, and yet the Call of God |

W1:2.1 | not attempt to include everything in an area or you will introduce | strain. Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to |
W1:12.9 | too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you experience a sense of | strain. |
W1:16.9 | periods are recommended if you find them relatively effortless. If | strain is experienced, three will be enough. The length of the |

W1:76.9 | They would not save, but damn in Heaven's name. Yet they are no more | strange than other “laws” you hold must be obeyed to make you safe. |

Tx:14.58 | so pitiful that it must fail you. For power is not a seeming | strength, and truth is beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all that |
Tx:15.18 | to support it and uphold its weakness, do not perceive the Source of | strength. In the holy instant, you will unchain all your brothers and |
Tx:15.19 | more compelling witnesses for the Holy Spirit. And they support His | strength. It is, therefore, your choice whether they support the ego |
Tx:15.21 | given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson will support your | strength. It is only your weakness that will depart from you in this |

Tx:15.58 | in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must believe that | strength comes from another, and what you gain he loses. Someone must |

Tx:15.88 | It is impossible to divide your | strength between Heaven and hell, God and the ego, and release your |

Tx:16.2 | you, you will empathize with strength and both of you will gain in | strength, and not in weakness. |
Tx:16.5 | learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity for | strength and not for weakness. He will not desert you, but be sure |
Tx:16.5 | not desert you, but be sure that you desert not him. Humility is | strength in this sense only—to recognize and accept the fact that |
Tx:16.6 | anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His perception and His | strength that you would share. And let Him offer you His strength and |
Tx:16.6 | and His strength that you would share. And let Him offer you His | strength and His perception to be shared through you. |
Tx:16.7 | love there. The power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the | strength of God, which hovers over it and blesses it silently by |
Tx:16.27 | will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His power and | strength and purity, and love Him as His Father does. His Kingdom has |
Tx:16.28 | bridging it. His little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the | strength of Heaven and by the united will of all who make Heaven what |
Tx:16.54 | must be recognized for what it is—a senseless ritual in which | strength is extracted from the death of God and invested in His |
Tx:17.70 | conception of the infinite that you have no idea how great the | strength that goes with you. And you can use this in perfect safety. |
Tx:18.28 | you may take can separate your desire from His Will and from His | strength. I hold your hand as surely as you agreed to take each |
Tx:18.29 | to bring the darkness to light, and this willingness has given | strength to everyone who would remain in darkness. Those who would |
Tx:18.34 | to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not need the | strength of willingness to come from you, but only from His Will. |
Tx:18.63 | You still have too much faith in the body as a source of | strength. What plans do you make that do not involve its comfort or |
Tx:20.11 | unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been given the | strength to look upon this final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails |
Tx:20.15 | that called to you. Give joyously to one another the freedom and the | strength to lead you there. And come before each other's holy altar |
Tx:20.15 | to lead you there. And come before each other's holy altar where the | strength and freedom wait, to offer and receive the bright awareness |
Tx:20.71 | Is the pitifully little the perfect choice to call upon for | strength? Judgment will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you |
Tx:20.71 | will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who need his | strength. There is no problem, no event or situation, no perplexity |
Tx:21.18 | power of your wanting must first be recognized. You must accept its | strength and not its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong |
Tx:21.47 | since first the ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its | strength. The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another |
Tx:21.69 | desire. And it is by his own desire that he is freed. Such is his | strength and not his weakness. He is at his own mercy. And where he |
Tx:21.72 | The army of the powerless must be disbanded in the presence of | strength. Those who are strong are never treacherous because they |
Tx:22.47 | undefended and wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is | strength and power. Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack |
Tx:22.48 | —how little and how meaningless! How insignificant before the quiet | strength of those whom love has joined! This is your “enemy”—a |
Tx:22.54 | This holy relationship, lovely in its innocence, mighty in | strength, and blazing with a light far brighter than the sun which |
Tx:23.1 | the opposite of frailty and weakness is sinlessness? Innocence is | strength, and nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot fear, for |
Tx:23.1 | sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The show of | strength attack would use to cover frailty conceals it not, for how |
Tx:23.3 | from sin and fear, and happily returned to love. They share the | strength of love because they looked on innocence. And every error |
Tx:23.55 | Those with the | strength of God in their awareness could never think of battle. What |
Tx:24.44 | much as yours. And yet, because they serve a different purpose, the | strength their purpose holds is given them. And what they see and |
Tx:24.62 | snatch it from Him. What is this son that you have made to be your | strength? What is this child of earth on whom such love is lavished? |
Tx:25.19 | His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your | strength, and both will gladly look within and see the holiness that |
Tx:25.40 | it remain useless to both. Together, it will give to each an equal | strength to save the other and save himself along with him. Forgiven |
Tx:25.71 | to save from punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in | strength by being separate and apart from love. And what but |
Tx:27.29 | weaken it, and weakened power is a contradiction in ideas. Weak | strength is meaningless, and power used to weaken is employed to |
Tx:27.60 | a miracle is to accomplish this. And God Himself has guaranteed the | strength of miracles for what they witness to. Be witnesses unto the |
Tx:28.66 | world will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its | strength lies not within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, |
Tx:29.8 | the body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of | strength or weakness. Would you recognize that nothing stands between |
Tx:29.20 | proof of having. Only those who think that God is lessened by their | strength could fail to understand this must be so. For who could give |
Tx:29.53 | littleness and loss. And thus must seek beyond his little self for | strength to raise his head and stand apart from all the misery the |
Tx:30.55 | the dreams of what you never were and seek no more to substitute the | strength of idle wishes for the Will of God. |
Tx:30.74 | Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its | strength to overlook illusions. This is how you learn that you must |

Tx:31.86 | is this explained! You always choose between your weakness and the | strength of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you think is |
Tx:31.86 | you have brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His | strength instead. |
Tx:31.87 | is yours because He is the only power that is real in you. His | strength is yours because He is the Self that God created as His only |
Tx:31.88 | see it as it is—another chance to choose again and let Christ's | strength prevail in every circumstance and every place you raised an |
Tx:31.88 | saviors of the world who see like Him are merely those who chose His | strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They |
Tx:31.91 | Thus is Christ's | strength invited to prevail, replacing all your weakness with the |
Tx:31.91 | strength invited to prevail, replacing all your weakness with the | strength that comes from God and that can never fail. And thus are |
W1:42.1 | of the course. You will see because it is the Will of God. It is His | strength, not your own, that gives you power. And it is His gift to |
W1:42.2 | God is indeed your | strength. And what He gives is truly given. This means that you can |
W1:42.2 | You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. Such is the | strength of God. Such are His gifts. |

W1:47.4 | we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real | strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary today, and |
W1:47.5 | God is the | Strength in which I trust. |
W1:47.6 | is not by trusting yourself that you will gain confidence. But the | strength of God in you is successful in all things. |
W1:47.7 | You must also gain an awareness that your confidence in your real | strength is fully justified in every respect and in all circumstances. |
W1:47.8 | you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the | strength of God abides. |
W1:47.9 | that peace is your right because you are giving your trust to the | strength of God. |
W1:48.3 | The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own | strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that |
W1:48.3 | which you recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His | strength take the place of yours. The instant you are willing to do |
W1:59.3 | [42] God is my | strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see |
W1:60.3 | [47] God is the | Strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength through which I |
W1:60.3 | [47] God is the Strength in which I trust. It is not my own | strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God |
W1:60.3 | It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the | strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I |
W1:60.3 | on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His | strength in me. And I begin to remember the love I chose to forget, |
W1:62.3 | your own weakness, while every time you forgive you call upon the | strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what |
W1:73.9 | No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an illusion of | strength. Today let your will be done. And end forever the insane |
W1:91.4 | they may be, have strong support. Did you but realize how great this | strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we will devote ourselves to |
W1:91.4 | Today we will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this | strength. When you have felt the strength in you which makes all |

Tx:23.28 | the mechanisms of madness are seen emerging here: the “enemy,” made | strong by keeping hidden the valuable inheritance which should be |

W1:44.5 | exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will encounter | strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While you practice in |
W1:73.1 | they can make a world of illusions in which your belief can be very | strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation. They make |

W1:106.1 | is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, | strong in stillness, and completely certain in its messages. |
W1:132.1 | indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as | strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the world he |
W1:135.8 | need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It will be | strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning it to |
W1:135.24 | If I defend myself, I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be | strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide. |

W1:153.19 | We clothe ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up | strong in Christ and let our weakness disappear as we remember that |

Tx:5.23 | of His Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is | stronger than the call to depart, but it speaks in a different way. |
Tx:5.24 | for God is always quiet, because it speaks of peace. Yet peace is | stronger than war because it heals. War is division, not increase. No |
Tx:5.29 | on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it | stronger. As we share this goal we increase its power to attract the |

Tx:6.62 | the body but the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be | stronger. Every miracle demonstrates this. |
Tx:8.97 | No mind can believe that its will is | stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its will is |

Tx:15.71 | the attraction of what you do not want seems to be much | stronger than the attraction of what you do. For each one thinks that |
Tx:16.29 | Your bridge is builded | stronger than you think, and your foot is planted firmly on it. Have |
Tx:19.33 | His Will and overcome it and give His Son a will apart from His and | stronger. And each part of God's fragmented creation would have a |
Tx:22.48 | heart throughout the universe forever sings as one? Which is the | stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or everything that God created? You |
Tx:31.7 | your chosen task, the lesson which reflects the love of God is | stronger still. And you will learn God's Son is innocent and see |
W1:27.1 | Today's idea expresses something | stronger than mere determination. It gives vision priority among your |

W1:136.10 | Thus is the body | stronger than the truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome your |
W1:136.10 | and God's design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision | stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and |
W1:163.4 | Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, | stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of love and |
W1:163.7 | killed, apparently, by those who did not want him to survive. Their | stronger will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to |

W1:7.12 | but remember to omit nothing specifically. Glance briefly at each | subject, and then move on to the next. |
W1:15.6 | today's idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each | subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The idea should be |
W1:16.4 | you, regardless of the quality which you assign to it, is a suitable | subject for applying today's idea. |
W1:25.6 | “unimportant,” “human” or “unhuman.” With your eyes resting on each | subject you so select, say, for example: |
W1:25.8 | until you have completed the statement. Then move on to the next | subject, and apply today's idea as before. |
W1:26.6 | which tends to recur in your thoughts during the day is a suitable | subject. You will not be able to use very many for any one practice |
W1:28.6 | In using the table as a | subject for applying the idea for today, you are therefore really |
W1:28.6 | of the universe. You will be making this same request of each | subject which you use in the practice periods. And you are making a |

W1:2.2 | Take the | subjects simply as you see them. Try to apply the exercise with equal |

W1:4.2 | In selecting the | subjects for the application of today's idea, the usual specificity |
W1:5.5 | hard to be indiscriminate and to avoid giving greater weight to some | subjects than to others. It might help to precede the exercises with |
W1:12.5 | an “unsatisfying” one. All terms which cross your mind are suitable | subjects for today's exercises. Their seeming quality does not matter. |
W1:14.6 | Suitable | subjects for the application of today's idea also include anything |
W1:15.6 | It is not necessary to include a large number of specific | subjects for the application of today's idea. It is necessary, |

W1:19.5 | requirement of as much indiscriminateness as possible in selecting | subjects for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by |
W1:19.5 | as a reminder. Do not forget, however, that random selection of | subjects for all practice periods remains essential throughout. Lack |
W1:24.3 | require much more honesty than you are accustomed to using. A few | subjects, honestly and carefully considered in each of the five |
W1:28.7 | to whatever you see in looking about you. Not only should the | subjects be chosen randomly, but each one should be accorded equal |
W1:29.4 | repeating the idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen | subjects about you, naming each one specifically. Try to avoid the |
W1:29.5 | Your list of | subjects should therefore be as free of self-selection as possible. |

W1:69.5 | the only way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of | substance. We will make this attempt today. |
W1:131.11 | of thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor | substance in the truth. |

Tx:4.20 | I will | substitute for your ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A father |
Tx:4.32 | The ego never gives out of abundance, because it was made as a | substitute for it. That is why the concept of “getting” arose in the |
Tx:10.53 | relationships and thus without meaning. The ego will always | substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is salvation, harmony |
Tx:13.45 | with truth. This is the reconciliation which the ego would | substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto peace. The |
Tx:14.36 | There is no | substitute for truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you |
Tx:15.23 | have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer as a | substitute is much too poor a gift to satisfy you. It is essential |
Tx:15.33 | peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can | substitute your plan for His. Rather, join with me in His that we may |
Tx:15.50 | Any relationship which you would | substitute for another has not been offered to the Holy Spirit for |

Tx:15.50 | His use. There is no substitute for love. If you would attempt to | substitute one aspect of love for another, you have placed less value |
Tx:16.7 | by enveloping it in healing wings. Let this be, and do not try to | substitute your “miracle” for this. We once said that if a brother |
Tx:16.37 | render you complete. The special love relationship is but a shabby | substitute for what makes you whole in truth, not in illusion. Your |
Tx:16.51 | in strict accordance with the ego's goals, is to destroy reality and | substitute illusion. For the ego is itself an illusion, and only |
Tx:16.55 | delights you can bring death to the eternal. Nor can your chosen | substitute for the wholeness of God have any influence at all upon |
Tx:16.74 | You have denied that it is there, and the relationship becomes your | substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your substitute for |
Tx:16.74 | becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your | substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance becomes your |
Tx:17.28 | holy relationship shares God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a | substitute for it. Every special relationship which you have made is |
Tx:17.28 | for it. Every special relationship which you have made is a | substitute for God's Will and glorifies yours instead of His because |
Tx:17.29 | when truth calls to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a | substitute. Every special relationship which you have ever undertaken |
Tx:17.49 | Now the ego counsels thus— | substitute for this another relationship to which your former goal |
Tx:18.1 | To | substitute is to accept instead. If you would but consider exactly |
Tx:18.1 | goal the Holy Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To | substitute is to choose between, renouncing one in favor of the |
Tx:18.9 | Him but a little faith in each other, to help Him show you that no | substitute you made for Heaven can keep you from it. In you there is |
Tx:18.9 | Heaven can keep you from it. In you there is no separation, and no | substitute can keep you from each other. Your reality was God's |
Tx:18.9 | keep you from each other. Your reality was God's creation and has no | substitute. |
Tx:18.15 | the best example you could have of how perception can be utilized to | substitute illusions for truth. You do not take them seriously on |
Tx:18.17 | are very fearful, but this you are not willing to accept. And so you | substitute the fantasy that reality is fearful, not what you would do |
Tx:18.37 | add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing not to | substitute my own in place of it. |
Tx:20.53 | is frail as is a snowflake, but without its loveliness. Is this the | substitute you want for the eternal blessing of the holy instant and |
Tx:22.58 | function here and have been answered. Seek not to change it nor to | substitute another goal. [This one was given you and only this.] |
Tx:23.30 | a final principle of chaos comes to the rescue. It holds there is a | substitute for love. This is the “magic” that will cure all of your |
Tx:23.30 | of the secret ingredient which would give meaning to your life. The | substitute for love, born of your enmity to one another, must be |
Tx:23.30 | born of your enmity to one another, must be salvation. It has no | substitute, and there is only one. And all your relationships have |
Tx:23.31 | end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have this | substitute for love and kill you both. You who believe you walk in |
Tx:23.31 | are the laws you made for your salvation. They hold in place the | substitute for Heaven which you prefer. This is their purpose; they |
Tx:23.33 | look upon, is lifted to the throne of love, its dying conqueror, its | substitute, the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear |
Tx:24.2 | as does suffering follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. There is no | substitute for peace. What God creates has no alternative. The truth |
Tx:24.3 | but one belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked a | substitute to take its place. And now must war, the substitute for |
Tx:24.3 | you asked a substitute to take its place. And now must war, the | substitute for peace, come with the one alternative that you can |
Tx:24.23 | for bargains and for compromise that would establish sin love's | substitute and serve it faithfully. And no relationship that holds |
Tx:26.45 | take His place. There is no other friend. What God appointed has no | substitute, for what illusion can replace the truth? |
Tx:29.43 | will never answer in His place. There is no other answer you can | substitute and find the happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside |
Tx:29.67 | seen as idols which betray. It is a dream in which no one is used to | substitute for something else nor interposed between the thoughts the |
Tx:30.39 | It is not form you seek. What form can be a | substitute for God the Father's love? What form can take the place of |
Tx:30.55 | be free of all the dreams of what you never were and seek no more to | substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will of God. |
Tx:30.56 | in reality. And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the | substitute for fear. Such is the only rule for happy dreams. The gap |
W1:4.5 | you recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but is not a | substitute for the more random procedures to be followed for the |
W1:64.8 | Let me not forget my function. Let me not try to | substitute mine for God's. Let me forgive and be happy. |
W1:110.3 | replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be | substitute for life or fear for love. All this has not occurred if |
W1:133.2 | to take from you the little that you have. It does not try to | substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the world contains. |
W1:140.1 | where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must | substitute illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes |
W1:152.15 | will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will | substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth |
W1:182.3 | builds in vain. The home he seeks cannot be made by him. There is no | substitute for Heaven. All he ever made was hell. |
W1:195.9 | for us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the single thought we | substitute for these insane perceptions. God has cared for us and |
W1:198.5 | lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words and | substitute your own in place of His? |
W2:287.1 | Where would I go but Heaven? What could be a | substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace |
M:13.4 | of his Father's Love. Who in his sane mind chooses nothing as a | substitute for everything? |
M:16.8 | on himself alone. Forget not this is magic and that magic is a sorry | substitute for true assistance. It is not good enough for God's |
M:16.9 | temptation. For all temptation is nothing more than the attempt to | substitute another will for God's. These attempts may indeed seem |
M:16.10 | There is no | substitute for the Will of God. In simple statement, it is to this |
M:16.10 | it is to this fact that the teacher of God devotes his day. Each | substitute he may accept as real can but deceive him. But he is safe |
M:29.1 | of some of the major concepts in the text and workbook. It is not a | substitute for either, but merely a supplement. While it is called a |
substituted (2) | ||
Tx:18.9 | share. In the mad world outside you, nothing can be shared but only | substituted, and sharing and substituting have nothing in common in |
W1:5.4 | But again, this should not be | substituted for practice periods in which you first search your mind |
substitutes (18) | ||
Tx:1.83 | between the time a miracle takes and the time it covers. It | substitutes for learning that might have taken thousands of years. It |
Tx:15.53 | by which to judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy Spirit | substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of reference is |
Tx:17.29 | which you do not recognize simply because you have raised their | substitutes to such predominance that when truth calls to you, as it |
Tx:17.64 | The | substitutes for aspects of the situation are the witnesses to your |
Tx:18.2 | The Holy Spirit never uses | substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as a replacement for |
Tx:18.12 | Whom God has called should hear no | substitutes. Their call is but an echo of the original error which |
Tx:19.58 | sees it. For guilt creeps in where happiness has been removed and | substitutes for it. Communion is another kind of completion which |
Tx:20.76 | and sounds are looked on happily and heard with joy. They are His | substitutes for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the |
Tx:28.46 | with him, and where you join His Son, the Father is. Who seeks for | substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who would want to |
Tx:28.59 | before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he | substitutes is not his will, who has made promise of himself to God. |
Tx:29.53 | Let not their form deceive you. Idols are but | substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe they will |
W1:76.10 | is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot be made, there are no | substitutes, and nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws |
W1:89.5 | to God's plan for my salvation. I would make no exceptions and no | substitutes. I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to |
W1:104.1 | which has instead received the gifts it made where His belong, as | substitutes for them. |
W1:117.2 | and nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no | substitutes for love. |
W1:118.2 | Today I will accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the | substitutes which I have made for happiness and peace. |
M:10.1 | misunderstood by the world. It is actually confused with wisdom and | substitutes for truth. As the world uses the term, an individual is |
M:11.3 | —God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. Gently His Judgment | substitutes for yours. And through this substitution is the |
substituting (2) | ||
Tx:18.9 | you, nothing can be shared but only substituted, and sharing and | substituting have nothing in common in reality. Within yourselves you |
Tx:18.17 | of terror. For the dream of your ability to control reality by | substituting a world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to |
substitution (11) | ||
Tx:8.84 | Healing is release from the fear of waking and the | substitution of the will to wake. The will to wake is the will to |
Tx:18.1 | and the other is replaced by him. The relationship in which the | substitution occurred is thus fragmented and its purpose split |
Tx:18.1 | and its purpose split accordingly. To fragment is to exclude, and | substitution is the strongest defense the ego has for separation. |
Tx:18.2 | they are one. Being united, they are one because they are the same. | Substitution is clearly a process in which they are perceived as |
Tx:18.3 | The one emotion in which | substitution is impossible is love. Fear involves substitution by |
Tx:18.3 | emotion in which substitution is impossible is love. Fear involves | substitution by definition, for it is love's replacement. Fear is |
Tx:18.4 | You who believe that God is fear made but one | substitution. It has taken many forms because it was the substitution |
Tx:18.4 | but one substitution. It has taken many forms because it was the | substitution of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. |
Tx:18.9 | love each other with a perfect love. Here is holy ground in which no | substitution can enter and where only the truth about each other can |
Tx:18.16 | what you would have them be, and what they do you order. No limit on | substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the world |
M:11.3 | yours. Gently His Judgment substitutes for yours. And through this | substitution is the ununderstandable made understandable. How is |
substitutions (4) | ||
Tx:18.5 | bits of disunited perceptions, and to force you to further | substitutions. |
Tx:18.7 | truth is outside and error and guilt within. Your little senseless | substitutions, touched with insanity and swirling lightly off on a |
Tx:18.8 | safety within. He brings all your insane projections and your wild | substitutions which you have placed outside you to the truth. Thus He |

Tx:2.51 | separation. The Atonement is the guarantee that they will ultimately | succeed. |
Tx:4.11 | believe that they will lose their child or pupil or patient if they | succeed. It is impossible to convince the ego of this because it goes |
Tx:4.39 | need hardly be said that an attempt to relate the unrelated cannot | succeed. |
Tx:5.64 | you will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you will | succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but you must learn to regard |
Tx:10.55 | this it does constantly. Analyzing to attack meaning, the ego does | succeed in overlooking it and is left with a series of fragmented |
Tx:11.22 | love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear will | succeed. The Lord is with you, but you know it not. Yet your Redeemer |
Tx:11.49 | terms, this is the same as saying, “Try to learn but do not | succeed.” The result of this curriculum goal is obvious. Every |
Tx:11.50 | speaks against your will, and so you fight against learning and | succeed, for that is your will. But you do not realize even yet that |
Tx:15.83 | not understand. And because of the Source of the attempt, it will | succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He |
Tx:15.100 | You will not | succeed in being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains |
Tx:18.27 | to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to each other. You will | succeed only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given forever, |
Tx:18.66 | from the body necessary. All such attempts will ultimately | succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means are tedious and very |
Tx:19.18 | the idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate reality and to | succeed. Sin is the proclamation that attack is real and guilt is |
Tx:22.48 | mouse that would attack the universe. How likely is it that it will | succeed? Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks that |
Tx:23.7 | is its fixed belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and will | succeed. |
Tx:23.26 | God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of help that can | succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And God Himself seems |
Tx:25.14 | pursuit of what has always failed on grounds that it will suddenly | succeed and bring what it has never brought before? |
Tx:29.50 | Yet where are dreams but in a mind asleep? And can a dream | succeed in making real the pictures it projects outside itself? Save |
Tx:31.7 | in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that ever will | succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to find. |
W1:23.1 | The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever | succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But |
W1:45.5 | have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you will | succeed today. It is the Will of God. |
W1:67.6 | thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will | succeed in going past that and through the interval of |
W1:68.5 | we will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you | succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in |
W1:69.8 | the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must | succeed. Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that |
W1:71.6 | His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to | succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there |
W1:71.7 | plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must | succeed. |
W1:71.9 | yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan will | succeed. It will lead to release and joy. |
W1:73.7 | will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You want to | succeed in what we are trying to do today. We undertake it with your |
W1:73.8 | We will | succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. |
W1:73.11 | You will | succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of God |
W1:79.8 | which we do not insist on defining the problem. Perhaps we will not | succeed in letting all our preconceived notions go, but that is not |
W1:R2.3 | no meaning and no power. Replace them with your determination to | succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies |
W1:85.2 | aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will | succeed. |
W1:96.15 | If you | succeed, the thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved |
W1:100.9 | you find it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you | succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts |
W1:105.10 | You must | succeed today if you prepare your mind as we suggest, for you have |
W1:107.7 | It is impossible that anyone could seek it truly and would not | succeed. |
W1:131.1 | immortality within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could | succeed where contradiction is the setting of his searching and the |
W1:136.9 | How do you think that sickness can | succeed in shielding you from truth? Because it proves the body is |
W1:137.12 | The other choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot | succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that |

W1:154.3 | giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to | succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined |
W1:161.11 | nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you will | succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing |
W1:181.4 | by the depressing and restricting thought that, even if you should | succeed, you will inevitably lose your way again. How could this |
W1:185.7 | make another bargain in the hope that there may yet be one which can | succeed where all the rest have failed. To mean these words |
W1:200.3 | this, and you can only win. To ask for what you have already must | succeed. To ask that what is false be true can only fail. Forgive |
W2:246.2 | way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I | succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You |
M:4.12 | teachers rest secure makes doubt impossible. Therefore they can only | succeed. In this, as in all things, they are honest. They can only |
M:4.12 | succeed. In this, as in all things, they are honest. They can only | succeed because they never do their will alone. They choose for all |
M:4.12 | and for the Son of God and his Creator. How could they not | succeed? They choose in perfect honesty, sure of their choice |
M:16.8 | can but try, and his success depends on his conviction that he will | succeed. He must be sure success is not of him but will be given him |
M:17.5 | believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of God and | succeed. That this can hardly be a fact is obvious. Yet that it can |

Tx:4.76 | become apparent that there was no sense in his efforts even if he | succeeded. If gold became more plentiful, its value would decrease, |

Tx:16.13 | but it is quite apparent that you have not done them alone. You have | succeeded whenever you have reached another mind and joined with it. |
Tx:19.18 | guilt is justified. It assumes the Son of God is guilty and has thus | succeeded in losing his innocence and making himself what God created |
Tx:23.2 | it and try to weaken it because of this; and you will think that you | succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you will fear what you |
Tx:30.80 | the Will of God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not | succeeded by your wish to make illusions real. And what is this |
W1:67.6 | much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have | succeeded or not. |

Tx:15.5 | Again the ego tries and all too frequently | succeeds in doing both by using dissociation for holding its |
Tx:29.28 | body, or a thing should represent and should achieve for you. If it | succeeds, you think you like the dream. If it should fail, you think |
Tx:29.28 | dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But whether it | succeeds or fails is not its core but just the flimsy covering. |

Tx:8.39 | the ego. By willing that, you have gone beyond it toward truth. Our | success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I can share |
Tx:8.101 | in attempting the impossible, believing that to achieve it is | success? The belief that you must have the impossible in order to be |
Tx:15.59 | diminished. On the contrary, you are far more inclined to regard his | success as witness to the possibility of yours. That is because you |

W1:79.8 | Our exercises for today will be | successful to the extent to which we do not insist on defining the |

Tx:4.91 | is a collaborative venture with God. It cannot be undertaken | successfully by those who disengage themselves from the Sonship |
Tx:10.49 | because you have denied yourself. By believing that you have | successfully attacked truth, you are believing that attack has power. |
Tx:16.23 | you do not regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to teach | successfully wholly without conviction, and it is equally impossible |
W1:47.6 | otherwise you would believe that you could deal with the situation | successfully. It is not by trusting yourself that you will gain |

Tx:1.2 | 2. Miracles as | such do not matter. The only thing that matters is their Source, |
Tx:1.69 | genuinely authoritative control. As a result it imprisons, because | such are the dictates of tyrants. To change your mind means to place |
Tx:1.92 | bottom up. This is because he now operates in space, where concepts | such as “up” and “down” are meaningful. Ultimately, space is as |
Tx:1.94 | in his own denial of truth. The miracle, however, makes no | such distinctions. It corrects errors because they are errors. Thus, |
Tx:2.90 | literally move mountains. It appears at first glance that to believe | such power about yourself is merely arrogant, but that is not the |
Tx:3.14 | that the Father really thinks this way? It is so essential that all | such thinking be dispelled that we must be very sure that nothing of |
Tx:3.28 | from the distortions of the separated ones. The way to correct all | such distortions is to withdraw your faith from them and invest it |
Tx:3.29 | the invalid. I would suggest that you voluntarily give up all | such attempts because they can only be frantic. If you are willing to |
Tx:3.54 | always open to error because it refers to the perception of meaning. | Such wholly needless complexities are the result of man's attempt to |
Tx:3.68 | The dispute over authorship has left | such uncertainty in the minds of men that some have even doubted |
Tx:4.18 | false and unworthy picture of yourself to others, and do not accept | such a picture of them yourselves. The ego has built a shabby and |
Tx:4.26 | to the unfamiliar but hardly to something that has occurred with | such persistence. I am using your present state [as an example] of |
Tx:4.33 | which is merely another way of describing how it originated. This is | such a fearful state that it can only turn to other egos and try to |
Tx:4.80 | Such relatively minor confusions of the ego are not among its more | |
Tx:4.100 | tell Him how wonderful He is. He has no ego with which to accept | such thanks and no perception with which to judge such offerings. But |
Tx:4.100 | which to accept such thanks and no perception with which to judge | such offerings. But unless you take your part in the creation, His |
Tx:5.56 | thoughts which are of Him and which He also keeps for you. And of | such is the Kingdom of Heaven. All the rest remains with you until He |
Tx:6.23 | of behaviors arising out of clearly opposed thought systems. As | such, it [is] the perfect symbol of conflict between the ego and the |
Tx:7.21 | The results of | such tests are evaluated relatively assuming maximal motivation, but |
Tx:7.25 | perceived as belonging to anyone at the expense of another. | Such a perception makes it meaningless by eliminating or overlooking |
Tx:7.39 | Holy Spirit's decision to use the body only for communication has | such a direct connection with healing that it does need |
Tx:8.7 | The total senselessness of | such a curriculum must be fully recognized before a real change in |
Tx:8.9 | Is there any possible reason for choosing a teacher | such as this? Does the total disregard of anything it teaches make |

Tx:8.75 | is not an end. The ego, however, establishes it as an end because as | such it will lose its true function. This is the purpose of |
Tx:8.98 | that they do not want them. Can you ask the Holy Spirit for “gifts” | such as these and actually expect to receive them? [The Holy Spirit |
Tx:9.41 | you do, even when you respond to the Holy Spirit, because at | such times its confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, |
Tx:9.73 | complete havoc this makes of your peace of mind, you could not make | such an insane decision. You make it only because you still believe |
Tx:10.25 | light comes and you have said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see | such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you |
Tx:10.26 | shines out from you. How can you see the dark companions in a light | such as this? If you see them, it is only because you are denying the |
Tx:10.62 | together, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, for | such is the nature of God's Son as His Father created him. |
Tx:11.92 | you. He has always undone everything unworthy of the Son of God, for | such was His mission, given Him by God. And what God gives has always |
Tx:12.20 | you made of Him an unloving father, demanding of Him what only | such a father could give. And the peace of God's Son was shattered, |
Tx:12.63 | been wrong about the world because you have misjudged yourself. From | such a twisted reference point what could you see? All vision starts |
Tx:12.68 | find yourself because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in | such a world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet |
Tx:13.35 | opponents in the war are real. Believing this, he must escape, for | such a war would surely end his peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet |
Tx:14.11 | fail and must result in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching | such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of God if |
Tx:14.36 | which can lead you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. | Such is the truth. Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God |
Tx:15.1 | He has not fulfilled His teaching function until you have become | such a consistent learner that you learn only of Him. When this has |
Tx:15.5 | of its own death, it will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. | Such is the ego's version of immortality. And it is this the ego's |
Tx:15.67 | You have nothing to lose by looking open-eyed at this, for ugliness | such as this belongs not in your holy mind. The host of God can have |
Tx:15.68 | before that the ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in | such a way that you do not recognize what it would do to you. For it |
Tx:15.79 | holy instant has extended far beyond time. For a teaching assignment | such as His, He must use everything in this world for your release. |
Tx:15.80 | there is by desiring that it be all that there is. God's Son has | such great need of your willingness to strive for this that you |
Tx:15.89 | it is your will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in | such sure and loving relationships that any limit is impossible. |
Tx:15.108 | What can be more joyous than to perceive we are deprived of nothing? | Such is the message of the time of Christ, which I give you that you |
Tx:16.36 | relationship is an attempt [to bring love into separation. And, as | such, it is nothing more than an attempt] to bring love into fear and |
Tx:16.40 | Would you not go through fear to love? For | such the journey seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you |
Tx:16.62 | be taken in. For God is left without and nothing taken in. If one | such union were made in perfect faith, the universe would enter into |
Tx:16.70 | you have for choosing a special partner without the past? Every | such choice is made because of something “evil” in the past to which |
Tx:17.7 | so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to | such loveliness. And nothing will you value like unto this nor hold |
Tx:17.16 | you and seems to you to go by the name of love. And finally why all | such relationships become the attempt at union through the body, for |
Tx:17.18 | doubt must enter in because its purpose is impossible. The only | such relationships which retain the fantasies that center on them are |
Tx:17.26 | be lost to you in dreams of vengeance. Relationships in which | such dreams are cherished have excluded me. Let me enter in the Name |
Tx:17.29 | do not recognize simply because you have raised their substitutes to | such predominance that when truth calls to you, as it does |
Tx:17.48 | For now you find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as | such in the light of its goal. |
Tx:17.76 | Would you not want to make a holy instant of every situation? For | such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever faithlessness is |
Tx:17.78 | Such was the crucifixion of the Son of God. His faithlessness did | |
Tx:18.6 | by which this world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for | such it was, and so it still remains. Invest it not with guilt, for |
Tx:18.31 | on you. Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When | such great light has joined with you to give the little spark of your |
Tx:18.43 | with you. Can you plan for this? Or could you prepare yourselves for | such a function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He |
Tx:18.43 | to Him. You have accepted one; the other will be provided. A purpose | such as this without the means is inconceivable. He will provide the |
Tx:18.66 | of meditation aimed at detachment from the body necessary. All | such attempts will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. Yet |
Tx:18.73 | bids you fight against the universe. This fragment of your mind is | such a tiny part of it that, could you but appreciate the whole, you |
Tx:18.75 | Such is the strange position in which those in a world inhabited by | |
Tx:19.19 | any way nor make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for | such is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the |
Tx:19.22 | It can indeed be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in | such a world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange |
Tx:19.43 | Would you thrust salvation away from the giver of salvation? For | such have you become. Peace could no more depart from you than from |
Tx:19.45 | in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. | Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of truth which |
Tx:19.45 | Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the journey; | such its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all |
Tx:19.52 | to return with gorges filled with things decayed and rotted. To them | such things are beautiful because they seem to allay their savage |
Tx:19.61 | body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at peace. | Such is the message that I gave them for you. |
Tx:19.80 | to life and innocence and to the Will of God Himself. Where can | such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the insane, dedicated to |
Tx:19.88 | the truth or falsity of the idea which they reflect. Confronted with | such seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember the holy |
Tx:20.20 | Yet judgment lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it real. | Such is the world you see—a judgment on yourself and made by you. |
Tx:20.26 | Such is my will for both of you and for each of you for one another | |
Tx:20.65 | him will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. | Such was your purpose, and while this purpose seems to have any |
Tx:20.71 | body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of power. Can | such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress and need for |
Tx:21.31 | you that faith can move mountains? This is indeed a little feat for | such a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as |
Tx:21.53 | since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same instant. | Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is clearly |
Tx:21.53 | same instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet | such is clearly not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the |
Tx:21.69 | by his own desire. And it is by his own desire that he is freed. | Such is his strength and not his weakness. He is at his own mercy. |
Tx:22.6 | which are not yours must make no sense to you. To whom would vision | such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is |
Tx:22.13 | shelter where his Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. | Such did his reason tell him; such he believed because it was the |
Tx:22.13 | be reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his reason tell him; | such he believed because it was the truth. |
Tx:22.19 | the truth makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. | Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in |
Tx:22.41 | of you look to the other! How happy you will be to be together after | such a long and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of |
Tx:22.44 | For by receiving it, he learned it was not given him alone. | Such is the function of a holy relationship—to receive together and |
Tx:23.32 | then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness now. | Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, |
Tx:23.36 | For how else could you perceive the form they take with content | such as this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them |
Tx:24.29 | Without foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in | such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is safe, |
Tx:24.33 | The slaves of specialness will yet be free. | Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to |
Tx:24.34 | it must kill, and you are drawn to it to kill it first. And | such is guilt's attraction. Here is death enthroned as savior; |
Tx:24.53 | the laws that seem to rule this world. See in his freedom yours, for | such it is. Let not his specialness obscure the truth in him, for not |
Tx:24.62 | have made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on whom | such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that |
Tx:24.65 | to decay and death. And if you see this purpose in your brother's, | such is your condemnation of your own. Weave, rather then, a frame of |
Tx:24.71 | even like, but still a means to offer to the “father” what he wants. | Such is the travesty on God's creation. For as His Son's creation |
Tx:25.3 | Him not, it carries Him in gentleness and love to heal their minds. | Such is the mission that your brother has for you. And such it must |
Tx:25.3 | their minds. Such is the mission that your brother has for you. And | such it must be that your mission is for him. |
Tx:25.24 | God's laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for | such a world could not have been created by the Mind to which |
Tx:25.29 | offer to your peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness. | Such its purpose is to those who want to see peace and forgiveness |
Tx:25.32 | for what will bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as | such that varies. Yet it is the way in which the aim is seen that |
Tx:25.39 | in innocence and peace. And yet beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, | such is the call that God has given him that you might hear in him |
Tx:25.46 | Such is the Holy Spirit's kind perception of specialness—His use of | |
Tx:25.59 | which would have made a hell of Heaven and a heaven of hell, had | such insanity been possible. |
Tx:25.64 | find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in | such a state of mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is |
Tx:26.4 | bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in | such a world. Nor can his song of union and of love be heard at all. |
Tx:26.14 | the others to yourself, remember this: justice is total. There is no | such thing as partial justice. If the Son of God is guilty, then is |
Tx:26.24 | is possible in the relinquishment of an illusion recognized as | such. Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was never true, |
Tx:26.34 | to creation—did this world appear to rise. So very long ago, for | such a tiny interval of time that not one note in Heaven's song was |
Tx:26.38 | but sets you on a mission whose accomplishment can only be unreal. | Such is the justice your ever-loving Father has ensured must come to |
Tx:26.42 | cross the gap between past and present, which is not a gap at all. | Such is each life—a seeming interval from birth to death and on to |
Tx:26.47 | This is a course in miracles. And as | such, the laws of healing must be understood before the purpose of |
Tx:26.52 | from Him, and brought His love at last to vengeance's heels. For | such an insane picture, an insane defense can be expected but can not |
Tx:26.60 | and this must still be true because ideas leave not their source. | Such is creation's law—that each idea the mind conceives but adds |
Tx:27.21 | an instant, even less, to reason with an argument for sickness | such as this? And need your healing be delayed because you pause to |
Tx:27.29 | not and make it unintelligible. Who can understand a double concept, | such as “weakened-power” or as “hateful-love?” |
Tx:27.37 | to another state of mind in which the answer is already there. | Such is the holy instant. It is here that all your problems should be |
Tx:29.15 | Such is the promise of the living God—His Son have life and every | |
Tx:29.37 | Such is the core of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from | |
Tx:29.42 | happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in | such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a |
Tx:29.42 | dwell a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in | such a world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to |
Tx:29.52 | What is an idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as | such and never seen for what they really are. That is the only power |
Tx:30.56 | in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. | Such is the only rule for happy dreams. The gap is emptied of the |
Tx:31.1 | who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make | such an easy lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is |
Tx:31.1 | do if you become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not | such simple things? |
Tx:31.2 | easier to learn and understand. What you have taught yourselves is | such a giant learning feat it is indeed incredible. But you |
Tx:31.4 | Who could maintain that lessons | such as these are easy? Yet you have learned more than this. You have |
Tx:31.13 | against the truth, but truth does not respond. Who could be hurt in | such a war unless he hurts himself? He has no enemy in truth. And can |
Tx:31.42 | foolish and insane it is to think that there could be a road with | such an aim! Where could it go? And how could you be made to travel |
Tx:31.51 | circumstance? He must have made the world as well as you to have | such prescience in the things to come. |
W1:I.1 | A theoretical foundation | such as the text is necessary as a background to make these exercises |
W1:3.1 | you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. Try to lay | such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly as you would |
W1:4.1 | if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they represent | such a mixture that, in a sense, none of them can be called “good” or |
W1:10.3 | this is to recognize nothingness when you think you see it. As | such, it is the prerequisite for vision. |
W1:12.5 | you might think of a “good world,” or a “satisfying world.” If | such terms occur to you, use them along with the rest. You may not |

W1:13.8 | resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of | such a thought because of the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not |

W1:20.5 | see them differently, and you will. What you desire, you will see. | Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the world. |
W1:23.3 | ask if this can be called seeing. Is not fantasy a better word for | such a process and hallucination a more appropriate term for the |
W1:30.4 | Real vision is not limited to concepts | such as “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, |
W1:34.7 | peace of mind take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, | such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the idea in its original |
W1:38.6 | of your own. You might like, for example, to include thoughts | such as: |
W1:42.2 | not random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. | Such is the strength of God. Such are His gifts. |
W1:42.2 | in the right place at the right time. Such is the strength of God. | Such are His gifts. |
W1:42.3 | time when you feel ready than it is to be concerned with the time as | such. |
W1:42.7 | also reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to come to mind. If | such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat the thought once |
W1:43.8 | occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way. Thoughts | such as: |
W1:45.11 | dedicated in Heaven itself to God the Father and God the Son. For | such is the place you are trying to reach. You will probably be |
W1:46.8 | devote the remainder of the practice period to adding related ideas | such as: |
W1:47.1 | to be aware of all the facets of any problem and to resolve it in | such a way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that |
W1:50.4 | foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. | Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where your |
W1:50.4 | the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. | Such is the resting place where your Father has placed you forever. |
W1:53.3 | chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in | such a world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I |
W1:53.4 | in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But | such a world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, |
W1:55.2 | be what God created for His beloved Son. The very fact that I see | such things is proof that I do not understand God. Therefore I also |
W1:63.2 | You are indeed the light of the world with | such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It |
W1:63.5 | you should devote to considering this. Do not, however, wait for | such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing today's |
W1:64.6 | very simple. Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can | such a simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form |
W1:67.2 | you and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant thoughts, | such as: |
W1:67.5 | After you have gone over several | such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief |
W1:71.5 | Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it | |
W1:73.3 | back and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can | such a world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with |
W1:73.7 | Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you really want. | Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. |
W1:74.5 | Then spend several minutes in adding some related thoughts, | such as: |
W1:78.6 | Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today. | Such is his role in God your Father's plan. |
W1:79.5 | the world appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in | such varying forms, and with such varied content that they confront |
W1:79.5 | They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms, and with | such varied content that they confront you with an impossible |
W1:R2.3 | in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form | such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace |
W1:92.9 | where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own. | Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the |
W1:93.3 | what you think, but from a very different reference point from which | such idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according |
W1:95.2 | Such is your version of yourself—a self divided into many warring | |
W1:96.1 | contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought many | such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in |
W1:101.4 | Who would seek out | such savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation and attempt in |
W1:105.2 | This implies a limit and an insufficiency. No gift is given thus. | Such “gifts” are but a bid for a more valuable return—a loan with |
W1:R3.13 | them not. This second chance with each of these ideas will bring | such large advances that we come from these reviews with learning |
W1:126.7 | was for you? Could He be satisfied with empty gestures and evaluate | such petty gifts as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift |
W1:127.2 | these things of love is not to understand it. If it could make | such distinctions it would have to judge between the righteous and |
W1:129.6 | Such is the choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value | |
W1:130.3 | you want that this is shown to you? What would you wish to keep in | such a dream? |
W1:131.2 | which you strive for them are meaningless as they are. Who can use | such senseless means and hope through them to gain in anything? Where |
W1:131.14 | think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with | such a world and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink |
W1:134.1 | unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In | such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and |
W1:134.5 | Pardon is no escape in | such a view. It merely is a further sign that sin is unforgivable, at |
W1:135.5 | to protect itself, and needing your defense. What but the body has | such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern are |
W1:135.7 | Is not this picture fearful? Can you be at peace with | such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body with the right |
W1:135.8 | beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. | Such attempts, ridiculous yet deeply cherished, are the sources for |
W1:136.11 | Such is your planning for your own defense. And you believe that | |
W1:136.11 | for your own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails before | such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your illusions, |
W1:136.13 | Such is the simple truth. It does not make appeal to might nor | |
W1:136.13 | which would alter it. Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for | such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw away |
W1:137.14 | Yet must we be prepared for | such a gift. And so we will begin the day with this and give ten |
W1:138.7 | today considering the choice that time was made to help us make. | Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the intent you gave |
W1:139.8 | not allow our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings | such as this. We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce |
W1:R4.1 | we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. | Such is our aim for this review and for the lessons following. Thus |
W1:R4.1 | Thus we review the recent lessons and their central thoughts in | such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we would now |
W1:151.5 | remains the hidden doubt that what it shows you as reality with | such conviction it does not believe. It is itself alone that it |
W1:151.7 | your ears, nor what your fingers' touch reports of him. He passes by | such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God's Son. He |
W1:151.12 | Such is your resurrection, for your life is not a part of anything | |
W1:151.16 | Such is your Eastertide. And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies | |
W1:152.6 | die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a world where | such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness |
W1:153.8 | We will not play | such childish games today. For our true purpose is to save the world, |
W1:154.1 | us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond | such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These |
W1:155.8 | Such is salvation's call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept | |
W1:156.6 | but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for | such a senseless whim? |
W1:160.1 | that it is real but different from yourself. Who could be sane in | such a circumstance? Who but a madman could believe he is what he is |
W1:161.4 | all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. | Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of |
W1:161.7 | There must be a thing to be attacked. An enemy must be perceived in | such a form he can be touched and seen and heard and ultimately |
W1:163.1 | in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All | such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as |
W1:163.4 | Would you bow down to idols | such as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived |
W1:166.3 | The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds | such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to accept God's gifts, |
W1:166.15 | which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of Christ. | Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to |
W1:167.7 | The opposite of life can only be another form of life. As | such, it can be reconciled with what created it because it is not |
W1:168.6 | to Him, for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive. | Such is His Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, |
W1:170.6 | as merely foolish. And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. For | such they are. |
W1:I2.1 | you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace | such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently. It is |
W1:181.3 | Therefore in practicing today, we first let all | such little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness |
W1:181.6 | So, for a little while, without regard to past or future, should | such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to our |
W1:184.7 | Such is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone | |
W1:185.6 | can understand. Whatever form the lesson takes is planned for him in | such a way that he cannot mistake it if his asking is sincere. And if |
W1:186.9 | Is this the Son of God? Could He create | such instability and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His |
W1:186.14 | still. Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. | Such is your function here. |
W1:187.9 | with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon | such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God |
W1:189.2 | Who could feel fear in | such a world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and |
W1:190.1 | He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and death. Can | such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but wholly |
W1:190.4 | Peace to | such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. |
W1:190.4 | Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at | such insane ideas. There is no need to think of them as savage crimes |
W1:192.1 | in its name, forever one with God and with your Self. Yet what can | such a function mean within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? |
W1:195.1 | seems to suffer more than they. How pitiful and deprecating are | such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while others have less |
W1:196.6 | Such is the form of madness you believe if you accept the fearful | |
W1:198.2 | Condemn and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. | Such is the law that rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge |
W1:199.2 | and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter | such a mind because it has been given to the Source of Love. And fear |
W1:200.7 | to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in | such a world? It cannot have reality because it never was created. Is |
W1:R6.10 | for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. Beyond | such special applications of each day's idea, we will add but few |
W2:WF.5 | certain of your ultimate success. He has forgiven you already, for | such is His function given Him by God. Now must you share His |
W2:WS.2 | the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for | such a thought before, for peace was given without opposite and |
W2:WIW.2 | from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause | such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now |
W2:254.2 | Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When | such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then |
W2:263.1 | what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive | such dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my |
W2:273.1 | feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how | such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us |
W2:282.2 | Father, Your Name is Love, and so is mine. | Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by merely giving it |
W2:284.1 | any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. | Such is the truth—at first to be but said and then repeated many |
W2:WIRW.3 | What need has | such a mind for thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it |
W2:308.1 | I have conceived of time in | such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to |
W2:323.1 | awareness, healing him of pain and giving him Your own eternal joy. | Such is the “sacrifice” You ask of me, and one I gladly make, the |
W2:334.1 | out of thoughts that rest on false perception. Let me not accept | such meager gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of |
W2:359.1 | Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. | Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which |
M:1.4 | of God are appointed to bring about. For time is in their hands. | Such was their choice, and it is given them. |
M:4.7 | on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how wholly impossible | such a demand would be. He can learn this only as he actually does |
M:4.11 | no act belies your word; and no word lacks agreement with another. | Such are the truly honest. At no level are they in conflict with |
M:4.24 | in newness and in joy so glorious they could never have conceived of | such a change. Nothing is now as it was formerly. Nothing but |
M:5.4 | attempts to endow the body with non-mental motivators. Actually, | such terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not answer |
M:6.3 | with it to be sure it is used as the giver deems appropriate? | Such is not giving but imprisoning. |
M:7.4 | of continuing symptoms is a mistake in the form of lack of trust. As | such, it is an attack. Usually it seems to be just the opposite. It |
M:7.5 | implies that trust has been placed in an illusory self, for only | such a self can be doubted. This illusion can take many forms. |
M:10.4 | right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose | such an arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom is not judgment; |
M:13.2 | except to a body? Yet a body cannot evaluate. By seeking after | such things, the mind associates itself with the body, obscuring its |
M:16.2 | those who have not reached his certainty? They are not yet ready for | such lack of structuring on their own part. What must they do to |
M:16.2 | each one must use them as best he can in his own way. Routines as | such are dangerous because they easily become gods in their own |
M:17.8 | stands out like an intense white light against a black horizon, for | such it is. If anger comes from an interpretation and not a fact, it |
M:19.3 | all thought of wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness has no place in | such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems forever true. |
M:22.3 | Spirit unless the body is killed? And who would want salvation at | such a price? |
M:23.4 | The name of Jesus Christ as | such is but a symbol. But it stands for love that is not of this |
M:24.1 | way? Like many other beliefs, it can be bitterly misused. At least, | such misuse offers preoccupation and perhaps pride in the past. At |
M:24.4 | reversal of thought. When this is finally accomplished, issues | such as the validity of reincarnation become meaningless. Until then |
M:24.4 | The teacher of God is therefore wise to step away from all | such questions, for he has much to teach and learn apart from them. |
M:26.2 | when and where it is helpful for them to do so. To those to whom | such appearances would be frightening, they give their ideas. No one |
M:27.2 | perhaps today. Or if he waits, yet is the ending certain. Who loves | such a god knows not of love, because he has denied that life is |
M:28.3 | last. How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and envelop | such a world! |
M:29.4 | it knows all things because you have given that belief to it. | Such is your teaching and the teaching of the world which was made to |

Tx:28.37 | Accepting the Atonement for yourself means not to give | support to someone's dream of sickness and of death. It means that |

Tx:16.5 | is to recognize and accept the fact that He does know. You are not | sure that He will do His part because you have never yet done yours |
Tx:16.19 | Reality is safe and | sure and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater |
Tx:17.23 | past to Him Who can change your mind about it for you. But first be | sure you fully realize what you have made the past to represent and |
Tx:17.56 | and the means will surely fall in place because the goal is | sure. And you will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. |
Tx:17.76 | use instead. This power instantly transforms all situations into one | sure and continuous means for establishing His purpose and |
Tx:18.22 | has been changed from one of dreams to one of truth. You are not | sure of this because you think it may be this that is the dream. You |
Tx:18.23 | Yet Heaven is | sure. This is no dream. Its coming means that you have chosen truth, |
Tx:18.42 | His understanding, He will build your part in the Atonement and make | sure that you fulfill it easily. And with Him you will build a ladder |
Tx:18.82 | Be | sure of this—love has entered your special relationship and entered |
Tx:18.98 | untrue, lifting the shadows from the world and carrying it safe and | sure within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean |
Tx:19.38 | with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be | sure of nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the |
Tx:19.38 | be sure of nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be | sure: the Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where |
Tx:19.80 | to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One thing is | sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be |
Tx:19.110 | you far beyond the veil and place the Son of God safely within the | sure protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose that gives |
Tx:20.13 | innocence will light your way, offering you its guiding light and | sure protection, and shining from the holy altar within him where you |
Tx:20.37 | herald of eternity. No one who has a single purpose, unified and | sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his purpose with him can not |
Tx:20.72 | and certain sight. The end for everything He looks upon is always | sure. For it will meet His purpose, seen in unadjusted form and |
Tx:20.74 | the power you gave them, you are released from them. One thing is | sure—hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that purpose is no |
Tx:21.50 | to what the ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is | sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You |
Tx:21.87 | any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of God for His creation. | Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on |
Tx:22.18 | reason's eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be | sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really |
Tx:22.52 | Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is | sure of His Creator's love. He knows this mad decision was made by |
Tx:23.2 | again. It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is | sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in |
Tx:23.16 | those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, | sure that its peace can never be disturbed. |
Tx:23.30 | But what is it you want that needs his death? Can you be | sure your murderous attack is justified unless you know what it is |
Tx:23.40 | in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you | sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, |
Tx:24.26 | wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it is | sure he would receive it wholly the instant that he gave it so. And |
Tx:24.49 | God is here and with you now. While he is what he is, you can be | sure that God is knowable and will be known to you. For He could |
Tx:24.61 | believe it easier to see your brother's body than his holiness, be | sure you understand what made this judgment. Here is the voice of |
Tx:24.71 | evidence beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is | sure when seen through its own eyes. It grows and withers, flourishes |
Tx:25.13 | change that might result in better outcome? For one thing is | sure—the way you see, and long have seen, gives no support to base |
Tx:25.24 | He could not enter His Son's insanity with him, but He could be | sure His sanity went there with him so he could not be lost forever |
Tx:25.50 | sin is a request for death, a wish to make this world's foundation | sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The |
Tx:25.51 | for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm and | sure as Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the same? |
Tx:25.81 | The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice | sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no ground for an attack. |
Tx:26.46 | not of this world, and only He to whom they have been given can make | sure that you receive them. He will place them on your throne when |
Tx:27.12 | this—to let the body have no purpose from the past, when you were | sure you knew its purpose was to foster guilt. For this insists your |
Tx:27.68 | you, uninvited and unasked, must really be. Of one thing you were | sure—of all the many causes you perceived as bringing pain and |
Tx:28.37 | or anything, depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be | sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in dreams |
Tx:29.24 | that shines within the dream—that you can help him waken and be | sure his waking eyes will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you |
Tx:29.60 | and on you as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And to be | sure you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living |
Tx:29.69 | a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be | sure you made an idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath |
Tx:30.46 | the eternal sky which holds it safe, forever lifted up, and anchored | sure. Its perfect purity does not depend on whether it is seen on |
Tx:30.59 | in his purpose with himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so | sure and constant he can barely stay and wait a little longer with |
Tx:30.71 | Pardon is always justified. It has a | sure foundation. You do not forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a |
Tx:30.73 | impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God the | sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who sees himself as |
Tx:31.6 | for Him. Which lesson will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, | sure as God, and far beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your |
Tx:31.35 | There is no choice where every end is | sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you really |
Tx:31.58 | of the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you | sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at last and leave |
Tx:31.95 | brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as | sure that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are and |
Tx:31.95 | in them is Yours. I am as sure that they will come to me as You are | sure of what they are and will forever be. They will accept the gift |
W1:I.4 | of applying that idea to as many specifics as possible. Be | sure that you do not decide that there are some things you see to |
W1:I.4 | of the idea to everything. This will not require effort. Only be | sure that you make no exceptions in applying the idea. |
W1:1.5 | you see, for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be | sure that nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like |
W1:2.2 | on it. Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be | sure that nothing is specifically excluded. |
W1:3.1 | Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be | sure that you do not question the suitability of anything for the |
W1:9.7 | should not be attempted, specific exclusion must be avoided. Be | sure you are honest in making this distinction. You may be tempted to |
W1:11.1 | the idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release made | sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it. |
W1:11.2 | to be spent in using the idea, merely repeat it to yourself, being | sure to do so without haste and with no sense of urgency or effort. |
W1:12.6 | Be | sure that you do not alter the time intervals between applying |
W1:23.9 | In the practice periods, be | sure to include both your thoughts of attacking and of being |
W1:27.1 | feel hesitant about using the idea on the ground that you are not | sure you really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's |
W1:27.7 | perfectly sincere while you were repeating today's idea, you can be | sure that you have saved yourself many years of effort. |
W1:34.4 | unhurried manner, without applying it to anything in particular. Be | sure, however, not to make any specific exclusions. |
W1:43.7 | this part of the exercise period should be relatively short, be | sure that you select the subjects for this phase indiscriminately, |
W1:46.13 | for today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be | sure, however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. |
W1:48.3 | The presence of fear is a | sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness |
W1:49.5 | with your eyes open when necessary, but closed when possible. And be | sure that you sit quietly and repeat the idea for today slowly |
W1:50.3 | you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in | sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration |
W1:R1.2 | others, concentrate on that one. At the end of the day, however, be | sure to review all of them once more. |
W1:53.6 | to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's way is | sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is |
W1:61.8 | Be | sure both to begin and end the day with a practice period. Thus you |
W1:68.4 | It is as | sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own |
W1:68.4 | created them like Himself and defined them as part of Him. It is as | sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt as it is |
W1:68.4 | as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. It is as | sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are as it is |
W1:69.8 | you. You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be | sure that it is given you, and you will yet receive it. Try, as you |
W1:69.11 | Also, be | sure to tell yourself: |
W1:74.7 | During this introductory phase, be | sure to deal quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your |
W1:77.3 | than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make | sure that we will not content ourselves with less. |
W1:80.6 | with deep conviction as frequently as possible. And be particularly | sure to remember to apply the idea for today to any specific problem |
W1:91.9 | a real experience of something else, something more solid and more | sure, more worthy of your faith, and really there. |
W1:91.14 | intervals remind yourself that miracles are seen in light. Also, be | sure to meet temptation with today's idea. This form would be helpful |
W1:92.8 | till the morning comes again. The light of strength is constant, | sure as love, forever glad to give itself away because it cannot give |
W1:94.9 | yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. And be | sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words: |
W1:95.20 | all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be | sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this: |
W1:98.7 | of today's idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as | sure as His in you. |
W1:98.13 | which He would have you take and help you fill, and He will make you | sure you want this choice, which He has made with you and you with |
W1:99.6 | and sees them as appearances behind which is the changeless and the | sure. This is the thought which saves and which forgives, because it |
W1:99.9 | You who will yet work miracles, be | sure you practice well the idea for today. Try to perceive the |
W1:102.7 | that you have now accepted happiness as your one function. And be | sure that you are joining with God's Will in doing this. |
W1:107.6 | not falter in the face of pain but looks beyond it, steadily and | sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense, |
W1:107.9 | is not our approach today. We are as certain of success as we are | sure we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk |
W1:108.13 | today as quick advances in your learning, made still faster and more | sure each time you say: |
W1:R3.2 | time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be | sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim |
W1:122.1 | transcends the world? Do you want care and safety and the warmth of | sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be |
W1:122.11 | happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the | sure rewards of questions answered, and what your acceptance of the |
W1:124.11 | a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be | sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand |
W1:126.1 | would be no problem in complete forgiveness, certainty of goal, and | sure direction. You would understand the means by which salvation |
W1:126.5 | be true, forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and | sure. It is an eccentricity in which you sometimes choose to give |
W1:128.7 | it goes to rest when you release it from the world. Your Guide is | sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and rest. |
W1:135.22 | confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be | sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of |
W1:138.10 | The conscious choice of Heaven is as | sure as is the ending of the fear of hell when it is raised from its |
W1:138.11 | make the choice for Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making | sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we |
W1:151.11 | you in any way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and | sure. And you will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in |
W1:152.6 | the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be | sure. What can He know of the ephemeral, the sinful and the guilty, |
W1:153.9 | defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, | sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our |
W1:153.9 | stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; | sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its |
W1:154.12 | ways, a hundred times, and yet belief is lacking still. But this is | sure—until belief is given it, you will receive a thousand miracles |
W1:156.2 | It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in others | sure. You cannot walk the world apart from God because you could not |
W1:157.2 | possibly attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond it, | sure of our direction and our only goal. |
W1:157.7 | And you who bring it light will come to see the light more | sure, the vision more distinct. |
W1:160.7 | as God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about creation. He is | sure of what belongs to Him. No stranger can be interposed between |
W1:160.8 | ask, “Who is the stranger?” Hear His Voice assure you, quietly and | sure, that you are not a stranger to your Father, nor is your Creator |
W1:161.16 | Today's idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be | sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a brother |
W1:165.3 | in comparison with them? And having found them, would he not make | sure they stay with him and he remains with them? |
W1:165.5 | Ask with desire. You need not be | sure that you request the only thing you want. But when you have |
W1:165.5 | the only thing you want. But when you have received, you will be | sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would you |
W1:169.10 | relationships, the course it runs directed, and its outcome | sure. |
W1:R5.2 | little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, | sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him. |
W1:R5.3 | You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your | sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us |
W1:I2.1 | if only intermittently. It is experiencing this which makes it | sure that you will give your total willingness to following the way |
W1:I2.2 | so intensified that words become of little consequence. You will be | sure of what you want and what is valueless. |
W1:181.1 | holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of | sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim |
W1:181.2 | that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only | sure support from what you see in others past their sins. For their |
W1:182.6 | noises of the world. Yet does He know that in you still abides His | sure protection. You will fail Him not. He will go home, and you |
W1:185.2 | them. You have but to look upon the world you see around you to be | sure how very few they are. The world would be completely changed |
W1:185.10 | with what they seek above all things, perhaps unknown to them, but | sure to you. You have been weak at times, uncertain in your purpose |
W1:185.13 | meaningless to Him. And when it is as meaningless to you, you can be | sure you share one will with Him, and He with you. And you will also |
W1:186.5 | that salvation needs your part and that the whole depends on you, be | sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go |
W1:187.2 | How is this possible? For it is | sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not |
W1:187.4 | all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are | sure that you will never lose them. What you thought you did not have |
W1:189.4 | joy within. What they have felt in them they look upon and see its | sure reflection everywhere. |
W1:189.6 | is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way today. It is as | sure as Love Itself, to Which it carries us. For its simplicity |
W1:192.8 | is not free, for he is bound together with his prisoner. He must be | sure that he does not escape, and so he spends his time in keeping |
W1:193.7 | underneath the form. It is this sameness which makes learning | sure because the lesson is so simple that it cannot be rejected in |
W1:193.11 | should learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be | sure the lesson is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness |
W1:194.7 | peace and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is | sure that his perception may be faulty but will never lack |
W1:194.9 | Now are we saved indeed. For in God's hands we rest untroubled, | sure that only good can come to us. If we forget, we will be gently |
W1:196.2 | not understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in its | sure protection, can be found in the idea we practice for today. It |
W1:197.5 | to God must be His own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are | sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending |
W1:200.9 | be delay and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is | sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in |
W1:R6.7 | have. Then gently let the thought which you denied be given up in | sure and quick exchange for the idea we practice for the day. |
W2:I.2 | He has promised He will take the final step Himself. And we are | sure His promises are kept. We have come far along the road, and now |
W2:221.1 | I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, | sure You will hear my call and answer me. |
W2:221.2 | Now do we wait in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am | sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my |
W2:232.1 | all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love, and let me sleep | sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your |
W2:235.1 | surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect to be | sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He |
W2:278.2 | of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe and only love is | sure. |
W2:290.2 | to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am | sure that I will see my happiness today. |
W2:WIRW.2 | a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world, a | sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which |
W2:WIRW.4 | is over and God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes perceive the | sure reflection of his Father's Love, the certain promise that he is |
W2:297.2 | Father, how certain are Your ways, how | sure their final outcome, and how truly faithful is every step in my |
W2:298.1 | artificial values. I accept instead what God establishes as mine, | sure that in that alone I will be saved, sure that I go through fear |
W2:298.1 | God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved, | sure that I go through fear to meet my Love. |
W2:300.1 | serene. And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious, and | sure today. |
W2:WISC.1 | Christ's Second Coming, which is | sure as God, is merely the correction of mistakes and the return of |
W2:309.2 | The step I take today, my Father, is my | sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and |
W2:314.2 | leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes and | sure that You will keep Your present promises and guide the future in |
W2:317.2 | to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the | sure protection of Your loving arms. |
W2:321.2 | freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how | sure is all the world's salvation when we learn our freedom can be |
W2:324.2 | walk together, for we follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending | sure and guarantees a safe returning home. |
W2:327.1 | and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I will be | sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still, awaiting but my |
W2:338.2 | Your plan is | sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will |
W2:347.1 | my awareness. Let 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 |
W2:355.1 | me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am | sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to |
W2:FL.1 | 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 our lives |
W2:E.3 | direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His | sure direction and His certain Word. His is the Word that God has |
W2:E.4 | now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you go; as | sure as He of how you should proceed, as confident as He is of the |
W2:E.5 | to make. And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making | sure that hell will claim you not and that each choice you make |
W2:E.6 | hover close and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be | sure: that I will never leave you comfortless. |
M:1.1 | Once he has done that, his road is established and his direction is | sure. A light has entered the darkness. It may be a single light, but |

M:4.16 | no pain. They cannot suffer. Why would they not be joyous? They are | sure they are beloved and must be safe. Joy goes with gentleness as |

M:4.16 | trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes before them, making | sure no harm can come to them. They hold His gifts and follow in His |

M:7.6 | is, you cannot doubt. Doubt is the result of conflicting wishes. Be | sure of what you want, and doubt becomes impossible. |

M:16.8 | success depends on his conviction that he will succeed. He must be | sure success is not of him but will be given him at any time, in any |

Tx:11.37 | mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you will | surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on which |
Tx:11.38 | It is | surely obvious that no one wants to find what would utterly defeat |
Tx:11.53 | itself it profits nothing. To invest in something without profit is | surely to impoverish yourself, and the overhead is high. Not only is |
Tx:11.58 | When you have seen this real world, as you will | surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must learn the cost of |
Tx:12.27 | to your brothers as though they were someone else, and this will | surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you will |
Tx:12.74 | Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you will | surely lose. Content yourselves with what you will as surely keep and |
Tx:12.74 | what you will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you will as | surely keep and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to |
Tx:13.29 | to look within and see the light of love shining as steadily and as | surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His son loves |
Tx:13.34 | in this praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will | surely enter in our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack |
Tx:13.35 | war are real. Believing this, he must escape, for such a war would | surely end his peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but |
Tx:13.44 | the call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as | surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You |
Tx:13.45 | reconciliation in His Mind for you, and one which He will effect as | surely as the ego will not effect what it attempts. |
Tx:13.78 | you will think you know alone and will decide against your peace as | surely as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation |
Tx:13.81 | be led by Him and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, | surely, and with love for everyone who will be touched in any way by |
Tx:14.35 | can only be brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He will | surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition. They |
Tx:14.46 | of its reflection in you. And you will turn from time to holiness as | surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to lay all guilt |
Tx:14.75 | The power of God, from which they both arise, is yours as | surely as it is His. You think you know Him not only because, alone, |
Tx:15.77 | Forgiveness lies in communication as | surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching |
Tx:15.87 | into accomplishment. This will never be accomplished. Yet you have | surely recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether |
Tx:15.104 | sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as | surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as |
Tx:16.68 | and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the way, as it will | surely do if you but let it come to you. |
Tx:17.56 | Yet the goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the means will | surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will share the |
Tx:17.79 | as the goal for your relationship, you became givers of peace as | surely as your Father gave peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot |
Tx:18.26 | you think it means is fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel | surely and very swiftly away from fear? |
Tx:18.28 | your desire from His Will and from His strength. I hold your hand as | surely as you agreed to take each other's. You will not separate, for |
Tx:19.49 | so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt as | surely as fear depends on it. [Love is attracted only to love.] |
Tx:19.79 | source. And death is the result of the thought we call the ego as | surely as life is the result of the Thought of God. |
Tx:19.97 | Forget not that you came this far together. And it was | surely not the ego that led you here. No obstacle to peace can be |
Tx:19.103 | can offer it to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as | surely as God created every living thing and loves it. And he will |
Tx:20.27 | will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as | surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother |
Tx:20.51 | approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the body, as it will | surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm |
Tx:21.11 | you are—a part of this, with all of it within and joined to all as | surely as all is joined in you. Accept the vision which can show you |
Tx:21.74 | enemy? Could he admit that no one made him powerless? Reason would | surely bid him seek no longer what is not there to find. Yet first he |
Tx:21.85 | death, the final proof he valued the inconstant more than constancy. | Surely he thought he wanted happiness. Yet he did not desire it |
Tx:21.87 | its constancy because its own desire cannot be shaken. It comes as | surely unto those who see the final question is necessary to the |
Tx:22.6 | to you. To whom would vision such as this send back its messages? | Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which |
Tx:22.15 | and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ is drawn to God as | surely as both are drawn to every holy relationship, the home |
Tx:22.17 | as joy. Yet to perceive a difference where none exists will | surely fail to make a difference. |
Tx:22.45 | How does one overcome illusions? | Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any way. Merely |
Tx:23.7 | has the power to be victorious. Why else would you identify with it? | Surely you realize the ego is at war with God. Certain it is it has |
Tx:23.38 | quite possible to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as | surely on the belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do |
Tx:24.2 | that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and follows it as | surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. There |
Tx:24.40 | for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as | surely as does will create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as |
Tx:26.15 | loss. The miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as | surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be content until it is |
Tx:26.28 | more than any other. Each reminds him of His Father's love as | surely as the rest. And each one teaches him that what he fear[s,] he |
Tx:27.37 | attempt to solve a problem where the answer cannot be. Yet just as | surely it must be resolved if it is brought to where the answer is. |
Tx:29.69 | self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is judgment, leading | surely to the frantic search for idols and for death. |
Tx:30.63 | and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been | surely set away from idols toward reality. For when they joined their |
Tx:30.64 | you the way that He must walk with you? His blessing lies on you as | surely as His Father's love rests upon Him. His gratitude to you is |
Tx:31.7 | Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world follows | surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that God's |
Tx:31.10 | The fear of God results as | surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God's love must be |
Tx:31.48 | where they cannot be perceived as errors, which the light would | surely show. You can be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you |
Tx:31.51 | even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you | surely learned by now that you behave as if it were. Does he react |
W1:22.7 | The answer is | surely obvious. |
W1:26.1 | It is | surely obvious that if you can be attacked, you are not invulnerable. |
W1:39.2 | If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? This is not difficult, | surely. The hesitation you may feel in answering is not due to the |
W1:56.3 | let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth, vision will | surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the world |
W1:66.1 | You have | surely noticed an emphasis throughout our recent lessons on the |
W1:70.3 | This is not a role which can be partially accepted. And you must | surely begin to see that accepting it is salvation. It may not, |
W1:70.13 | Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, | surely you do not want to remain in the clouds looking vainly for |
W1:71.5 | Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. | Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the ego's basic |
W1:71.5 | ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not find.” For what could more | surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize |
W1:95.4 | your mind to wander if it undertakes extended attempts. You have | surely realized this by now. You have seen the extent of your lack of |
W1:96.2 | each one as futile as the one before and failing as the next one | surely will. |
W1:102.1 | believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is | surely shaken now, at least enough to let you question it and to |
W1:R3.7 | means for your salvation. Since it has His trust, His means must | surely merit yours as well. |
W1:125.2 | God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him | surely to his Father's house by his own will, forever free as God's. |
W1:129.4 | fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken and yet | surely understood. Communication, unambiguous and plain as day, |
W1:131.4 | Yet searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you will | surely do the thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate the |
W1:139.2 | make the question seem to be sincere. The only thing that can be | surely known by any living thing is what it is. From this one point |
W1:156.1 | cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. It follows | surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text—ideas |
W1:157.9 | speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will | surely know again. |
W1:161.6 | Bodies attack but minds do not. This thought is | surely reminiscent of our text, where it is often emphasized. This is |
W1:161.7 | killed. When hatred rests upon a thing, it calls for death as | surely as God's Voice proclaims there is no death. Fear is |
W1:163.2 | alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone will | surely come. |
W1:164.9 | may not see the value your acceptance gives the world. But this you | surely want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day. |
W1:R5.1 | may go on again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more | surely. Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have made |
W1:182.1 | throb, at other times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but | surely to return to mind again. |
W1:187.5 | seems to lose is always something he will value less than what will | surely be returned to him. |
W1:188.6 | you think with Him. They recognize their home. And they point | surely to their Source where God the Father and the Son are one. |
W1:189.9 | love will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is | surely there if it be true, and can be surely reached. God knows His |
W1:189.9 | What has not been denied is surely there if it be true, and can be | surely reached. God knows His Son and knows the way to him. He does |
W1:196.12 | with you to help you reach that instant and to go beyond it quickly, | surely, and forever. When the fear of God is gone, there are no |
W2:312.1 | you would see and fail to see what you have chosen to behold. How | surely, therefore, must the real world come to greet the holy sight |
W2:315.1 | the way to me and giving me his certainty that what he learned is | surely mine as well. |
W2:318.2 | for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me become as | surely reconciled to You. |
W2:327.1 | learn from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must | surely come to me. This is the faith that will endure and take me |
M:4.16 | sure they are beloved and must be safe. Joy goes with gentleness as | surely as grief attends attack. God's teachers trust in Him. And they |
M:8.3 | come from? Certainly they seem to be in the world outside. Yet it is | surely the mind that judges what the eyes behold. It is the mind that |
M:12.6 | teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeing and yet | surely theirs. |
M:13.7 | is impossible. A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you | surely will believe, because you have set up a situation that is |
M:16.1 | the Answer. He is set and sees the road on which he walks stretch | surely and smoothly before him. |
M:17.5 | hardly be a fact is obvious. Yet that it can be believed as fact is | surely so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the |
M:29.2 | for more? No one should attempt to answer these questions alone. | Surely no teacher of God has come this far without realizing that. |
sureness (9) | ||
Tx:9.27 | worker begins by perceiving light and translates his perception into | sureness by continually extending it and accepting its |
Tx:21.48 | way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that | sureness lies in doubt. This has no meaning. What matters it to you |
Tx:30.47 | all the world that worships idols and that knows not God. In perfect | sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, |
Tx:31.25 | the light before you so that every step is made in certainty and | sureness of the road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight but |
W1:128.6 | It knows where it belongs. But free its wings, and it will fly in | sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest in its |
W1:165.4 | Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God is fair. | Sureness is not required to receive what only your acceptance can |
W1:165.7 | for God is certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. | Sureness must abide within you who are host to Him. This course |
W1:165.7 | And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His | sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our |

Tx:30.75 | There is no | surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a belief there are some |
W1:153.10 | that the truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be | surer that his happiness is fully guaranteed? And who could be more |
W1:R5.1 | on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer purpose and a | surer goal. |

Tx:5.89 | clear. The fixation is on a level so high that it cannot be | surmounted. You are always being pulled back to your Creator, because |

Tx:19.94 | of the obstacles to love, Love Itself has called, and each has been | surmounted by the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your |
Tx:19.97 | surely not the ego that led you here. No obstacle to peace can be | surmounted through its help. It does not open up its secrets and bid |
Tx:22.43 | disappear before their coming, as every obstacle was finally | surmounted which seemed to rise and block their way before. This veil |

Tx:3.22 | an all-too-widespread error, do not understand the meaning of the | symbol. Correctly understood, it is a very simple parable which |

Tx:5.41 | The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the | symbol of peace. What you perceive in others, you are strengthening |
Tx:5.60 | is divisive because it obeys the law of division. If the ego is the | symbol of the separation, it is also the symbol of guilt. Guilt is |
Tx:5.60 | division. If the ego is the symbol of the separation, it is also the | symbol of guilt. Guilt is more than merely not of God. It is the |
Tx:5.60 | the symbol of guilt. Guilt is more than merely not of God. It is the | symbol of the attack on God. This is a totally meaningless concept |
Tx:6.16 | as I am. The crucifixion cannot be shared, because it is the | symbol of projection, but the resurrection is the symbol of sharing, |
Tx:6.16 | because it is the symbol of projection, but the resurrection is the | symbol of sharing, because the reawakening of every Son of God is |
Tx:6.23 | out of clearly opposed thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect | symbol of conflict between the ego and the Son of God. [It was as |
Tx:6.62 | it is destructible and therefore not of the Kingdom. The body is the | symbol of what you think you are. It is clearly a separation device |
Tx:9.85 | not at war with the god of sickness you made, but you are. He is the | symbol of willing against God, and you are afraid of him, because he |
Tx:10.43 | and independent of any power except its own. This is why it is the | symbol of separation. |
Tx:10.64 | Resurrection must compel your allegiance gladly because it is the | symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power lies in the fact that it |
Tx:11.32 | for the one you made out of your split mind, and which is the | symbol of death. For if you could really separate yourselves from the |
Tx:11.86 | world, and you will realize that this is so. For this world is the | symbol of punishment, and all the laws which seem to govern it are |

Tx:13.86 | it yours, and you will see what you sought. You will not see the | symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining within him while you |
Tx:14.14 | Atonement. Only the resurrection became my part in it. That is the | symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness. Whom you perceive |
Tx:15.86 | without gratification what you think you want. The body is the | symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. And |
Tx:15.86 | think you want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the | symbol of the separation. And both are nothing more than attempts to |
Tx:16.31 | which does not exist. For symbols stand for something else, and the | symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. You will go |
Tx:19.56 | of grace, which means you have at last forgiven me. For I became the | symbol of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego |
Tx:19.57 | you can live to show it is not real. The body does appear to be the | symbol of sin while you believe that it can get you what you want. |
Tx:19.65 | Let me be to you the | symbol of the end of guilt, and look upon each other as you would |
Tx:19.65 | and overcame the world, you were with me. Would you see in me the | symbol of guilt or of the end of guilt, remembering that what I |
Tx:19.81 | body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to death, a | symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to sin to feed upon |
Tx:19.88 | remember it is always for one reason—the ego has perceived it as a | symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember then that neither |
Tx:19.88 | fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember then that neither sign nor | symbol should be confused with source, for they must stand for |
Tx:20.1 | pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the | symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks |
Tx:20.3 | along with mine. A week is short, and yet this holy week is the | symbol of the whole journey the Son of God has undertaken. He started |
Tx:26.1 | a bargain, and all conflicts achieve a seeming balance. It is the | symbol of the central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the |
Tx:26.37 | kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and made a | symbol of your hate? |

Tx:16.22 | accordingly. Cause and effect are very clear in the ego's thought | system because all your learning has been directed towards |
