table (17) | ||
| Tx:7.19 | practically. It is true that if you put three apples on the | table and then take them away, the three apples are not there. But it |
| Tx:7.19 | away, the three apples are not there. But it is not true that the | table is now minus three apples. If there is nothing on the table, it |
| Tx:7.19 | that the table is now minus three apples. If there is nothing on the | table, it does not matter what was there in terms of amount. The |
| Tx:19.55 | Love, too, would set a feast before you on a | table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a quiet garden where no |
| Tx:19.55 | is said by everyone together as they join in gentleness before the | table of communion. And I will join you there, as long ago I promised |
| Tx:28.36 | waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For Love has set Its | table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests apart from you. |
| W1:1.2 | This | table does not mean anything. This chair does not mean anything. This |
| W1:28.2 | is important to say, for example, “Above all else I want to see this | table differently.” In itself it is not important at all. Yet what is |
| W1:28.3 | When you say, “Above all else I want to see this | table differently,” you are making a commitment to withdraw your |
| W1:28.3 | making a commitment to withdraw your preconceived ideas about the | table and open your mind to what it is and what it is for. You are |
| W1:28.4 | receive the answers. In saying, “Above all else I want to see this | table differently,” you are committing yourself to seeing. It is not |
| W1:28.4 | not an exclusive commitment. It is a commitment which applies to the | table just as much as to anything else, neither more nor less. |
| W1:28.5 | You could, in fact, gain vision from just that | table if you could withdraw all your own ideas from it and look upon |
| W1:28.6 | In using the | table as a subject for applying the idea for today, you are therefore |
| W1:29.2 | senseless, funny, and even objectionable. Certainly God is not in a | table, for example, as you see it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a |
| W1:29.2 | for example, as you see it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a | table shares the purpose of the universe. And what shares the purpose |
| W1:169.1 | Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a | table where it can be gently laid and willingly received, an altar |

tacitly (2) | ||
| Tx:3.52 | which is obviously why you would want to make anything, you are | tacitly implying that you believe in separation. Knowing, as we have |
| W1:20.4 | throughout the day that you want to see. Today's idea also | tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now. Therefore, |

| Tx:4.77 | the mind. It is noticeable, however, that in all these diversionary | tactics, the one question which is never asked by those who pursue |

| Tx:3.14 | bad. The wholly benign lesson the Atonement teaches is lost if it is | tainted with this kind of distortion in any form. |
take (336) | ||
| Tx:I.1 | is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you | take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish |
| Tx:I.1 | the curriculum. It means only that you may elect what you want to | take at a given time. |
| Tx:2.1 | or separation. There are some definitions which I asked you to | take from the dictionary which will be helpful here. They are |
| Tx:2.42 | is meant by “the meek shall inherit the earth.” They will literally | take it over because of their strength. A two-way defense is |
| Tx:2.54 | ability in matter which the mind cannot control. This error can | take two forms—it can be believed that the mind can miscreate in |
| Tx:2.72 | acts should be involuntary. We have said that Christ-control can | take over everything that does not matter, while Christ-guidance can |
| Tx:2.88 | Everyone experiences fear, and no one enjoys it. Yet it would | take very little right-thinking to realize why fear occurs. Very few |
| Tx:2.93 | inconsistently even then. You may feel at this point that it would | take a miracle to enable you to do this, which is perfectly true. |
| Tx:4.28 | even though this is anything but true. Babies scream in rage if you | take away a knife or a scissors, even though they may well harm |
| Tx:4.36 | direction in which it can move. The direction which the mind will | take is always automatic, because it cannot but be dictated by the |
| Tx:4.100 | and no perception with which to judge such offerings. But unless you | take your part in the creation, His joy is not complete because yours |
| Tx:6.2 | and you are responsible for what you believe. You have been asked to | take me as your model for learning, since an extreme example is a |
| Tx:6.5 | the crucifixion was the last foolish journey that the Sonship need | take and that it should mean release from fear to anyone who |
| Tx:6.68 | This is a very preliminary step, and the only one you must | take for yourself. It is not even necessary that you complete the |
| Tx:6.69 | conflict. At this point, many try to accept the conflict rather than | take the next step towards its resolution. Having taken the first |
| Tx:6.81 | As you | take this step and hold this direction, you will be pushing toward |
| Tx:6.89 | of having into being by the very nature of the steps you must | take with Him. |
| Tx:7.7 | God does not | take steps, because His accomplishments are not gradual. He does not |
| Tx:7.7 | Him nor to what He created. The “last step” that God [was said to] | take was therefore true in the beginning, is true now, and will be |
| Tx:7.19 | It is true that if you put three apples on the table and then | take them away, the three apples are not there. But it is not true |
| Tx:7.50 | does not appreciate it; and it does not love it. It incorporates to | take away. It literally believes that every time it deprives someone |
| Tx:7.79 | your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to | take God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is what |
| Tx:8.35 | You must be included in It, because It is everything. Unless you | take your place in It and fulfill your function as part of It, It is |
| Tx:8.45 | as God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God Himself | take joy in what is not real? And what is real except the creations |
| Tx:8.87 | The Bible enjoins you to be perfect, to heal all errors, to | take no thought of the body as separate, and to accomplish all things |
| Tx:9.59 | time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the world can | take this responsibility from you. You can violate God's laws in your |
| Tx:9.88 | given your peace to the gods you made, but they are not there to | take it from you, and you are not able to give it to them. |
| Tx:9.104 | All of these illusions and the many other forms which blasphemy may | take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God created His Son |
| Tx:10.4 | save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you. You will not | take this journey alone. I will lead you to your true Father, Who |
| Tx:10.20 | you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to | take, He will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust His |
| Tx:10.63 | The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not will to | take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience implies |
| Tx:10.80 | that is of God demands anything of you. God gives; He does not | take. |
| Tx:10.81 | sharing. The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and will | take nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you |
| Tx:10.90 | one you have made. And then your Father will lean down to you and | take the last step for you by raising you unto Himself. |
| Tx:11.18 | fitting offerings for Christ, and so they are not fit gifts for you. | Take off the covers and look at what you are afraid of. Only the |
| Tx:11.22 | you keep hidden, for you have not offered it to Him, and He cannot | take it from you. |
| Tx:11.51 | You who have tried to learn what you do not will should | take heart, for although the curriculum you set yourself is |
| Tx:11.84 | God in loving exchange for the world you made and which you see. But | take it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its reality will |
| Tx:12.22 | is not of His creation. Having given you creation, He could not | take it from you. He could but answer your insane request with a sane |
| Tx:12.70 | have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will | take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He |
| Tx:12.75 | time. Salvation from the world lies only here. My peace I give you. | Take it of me in glad exchange for all the world has offered but to |
| Tx:12.75 | Take it of me in glad exchange for all the world has offered but to | take away. And we will spread it like a veil of light across the |
| Tx:13.47 | as does the ego, except that His conclusions are not insane. They | take a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as |
| Tx:13.81 | touched in any way by the decision. And everyone will be. Would you | take unto yourself the sole responsibility for deciding what can |
| Tx:14.38 | but wherein is your safety apart from it? The making of time to | take the place of timelessness lay in the decision to be not as you |
| Tx:14.41 | will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will | take them gently in and cover all their sense of pain and loss with |
| Tx:14.55 | remembering Him means you are not alone and willing to remember it. | Take no thought for yourself, for no thought you hold is for |
| Tx:14.62 | truth and joyously laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to | take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He |
| Tx:14.66 | know, the Guide Whom God has given you will speak to you. He will | take His rightful place in your awareness the instant you abandon it |
| Tx:15.6 | future is hell. Even when it attacks so savagely that it tries to | take the life of someone who hears it temporarily as the only voice, |
| Tx:15.10 | Holy Spirit's use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. | Take this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time. |
| Tx:15.12 | you are tempted to be dispirited by the thought of how long it would | take to change your mind so completely, ask yourself, “How long is an |
| Tx:15.16 | Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can | take time, when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed? |
| Tx:15.18 | How long can it | take to be where God would have you? For you are where you have |
| Tx:15.64 | to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God will | take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the full |
| Tx:15.99 | host to Him. To Him you ascribed the ego's treachery, inviting it to | take His place to protect you from Him. And you do not recognize that |
| Tx:15.112 | been long delayed. Accept the holy instant as this year is born and | take your place, so long left unfulfilled, in the Great Awakening. |
| Tx:16.25 | God's answer to the separation added more to you than you tried to | take away. He protected both your creations and you together, keeping |
| Tx:16.25 | together, keeping one with you what you would exclude. And they will | take the place of what you took in to replace them. They are quite |
| Tx:16.41 | illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will | take the last foolish journey away from truth together, and then |
| Tx:16.43 | All these must be understood for what they are. Whatever form they | take, they are always an attack on the self to make the other guilty. |
| Tx:16.54 | is a ritual of form, aimed at the raising of the form to | take the place of God at the expense of content. There is no meaning |
| Tx:16.68 | which has no limit, is increased with each light that returns to | take its rightful place within it. Wait no longer, for the love of |
| Tx:17.3 | your appreciation of the whole! What you reserve unto yourself, you | take away from Him Who would release you. Unless you give it back, it |
| Tx:17.10 | that you will barely have time to thank God for it. For God will | take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real world and |
| Tx:17.35 | distract you. This gift is given you for your damnation, and if you | take it, you will believe that you are damned. You cannot have the |
| Tx:17.51 | In your newness, remember that you have started again together. And | take each other's hand to walk together along a road far more |
| Tx:17.63 | the situation which seems to be difficult, the ego will attempt to | take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it will seem to |
| Tx:18.3 | Fear is both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to | take many forms, and each seems to require a different form of acting |
| Tx:18.6 | For truth brought to this could only remain within in quiet and | take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. |
| Tx:18.15 | can be utilized to substitute illusions for truth. You do not | take them seriously on awaking because the fact that reality is so |
| Tx:18.22 | Let not the dream | take hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make |
| Tx:18.27 | The gift is given forever, for God Himself received it. You cannot | take it back. You have accepted God. The holiness of your |
| Tx:18.28 | the Holy Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may | take can separate your desire from His Will and from His strength. I |
| Tx:18.28 | and from His strength. I hold your hand as surely as you agreed to | take each other's. You will not separate, for I stand with you and |
| Tx:18.38 | And that is all. Add more and you will merely | take away the little that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that |
| Tx:18.94 | of love and not its Source. Here you are led that God Himself can | take the final step unhindered, for here does nothing interfere with |
| Tx:18.94 | [of forgiveness], a step still further inward but the one you cannot | take, transports you to something completely different. Here is the |
| Tx:19.89 | Take this from me and look upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see | |
| Tx:20.6 | and received. For bodies can neither offer nor accept; hold out nor | take. Only the mind can value, and only the mind decides on what it |
| Tx:20.7 | upon his altar, that they may see what he has placed upon it and | take it for their own. Here is the value that you lay upon your |
| Tx:20.21 | “What are you?” And He Who watches over all perception answered. | Take not the judgment of the world as answer to the question, “What |
| Tx:20.25 | and found each other's hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to | take hold on life so long forgotten. Strengthen your hold and raise |
| Tx:20.36 | seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need | take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only |
| Tx:20.41 | thus, the means and end have not been brought in line. Why should it | take so many holy instants to let this be accomplished, when one |
| Tx:20.74 | do is recognize you did this. Once you accept this simple fact and | take unto yourself the power you gave them, you are released from |
| Tx:21.21 | the statement that he has the power to make God powerless and so to | take it for himself and leave himself without what God has willed for |
| Tx:21.31 | equal faith in opposite directions. What faith you give to sin you | take away from holiness. And what you offer holiness has been removed |
| Tx:21.34 | you use but not the purpose for which you made them. He would not | take them from you, for He sees their value as a means for what He |
| Tx:22.1 | Take pity on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath | |
| Tx:22.3 | are only of the body. Therefore, he looks on nothing he would | take. He denies not his own reality, because it is the truth. Just |
| Tx:22.5 | Let reason | take another step. If you attack whom God would heal and hate the one |
| Tx:22.23 | There is no part of Heaven you can | take and weave into illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can |
| Tx:22.38 | whole purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will | take now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no longer serve. |
| Tx:22.59 | use, but offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He will | take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He will |
| Tx:23.12 | each other. Both are not true. And so it matters not what form they | take. What made them is insane, and they remain part of what made |
| Tx:23.24 | His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether to | take his word for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the third |
| Tx:23.27 | becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never | take away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead to |
| Tx:23.28 | But in a savage world, the kind cannot survive, so they must | take or else be taken from. |
| Tx:23.32 | is the belief that it is true. It is the function of insanity to | take the place of truth. It must be seen as truth to be believed. And |
| Tx:23.36 | you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the form they | take with content such as this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet |
| Tx:23.36 | any form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them for the form they | take and do not recognize the content. It never changes. Can you |
| Tx:23.40 | Brothers, | take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you |
| Tx:23.41 | Is it not true you do not recognize some of the forms attack can | take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you and will do so |
| Tx:23.43 | any kind. To compromise is to accept but part of what you want—to | take a little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is |
| Tx:24.3 | one offering, and love is gone because you asked a substitute to | take its place. And now must war, the substitute for peace, come with |
| Tx:24.17 | vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns to | take their place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you will no |
| Tx:24.56 | him truly. His mistakes can cause delay, which it is given you to | take from him that both may end a journey that has never been begun |
| Tx:25.15 | Be glad that it is gone within your mind to darken what is there. | Take not the form for content, for the form is but a means for |
| Tx:25.34 | You makers of a world that is not so, | take rest and comfort in another world where peace abides. This world |
| Tx:25.49 | alike. This is the function given each of you for one another. | Take it gently then from one another's hand, and let salvation be |
| Tx:25.63 | your salvation. But He cannot use what you withhold, for He cannot | take it from you without your willingness. For if He did, you would |
| Tx:25.63 | you'd have no need of Him. But this He needs—that you prefer He | take it than that you keep it for yourself alone and recognize that |
| Tx:25.76 | special really understand that justice is the same for everyone? To | take from one to give another must be an injustice to them both, |
| Tx:25.76 | he thinks he is deprived. And so must he be envious and try to | take away from whom he judges. He is not impartial and cannot fairly |
| Tx:25.81 | is decided who shall win and who shall lose—how much the one shall | take and how much can the loser still defend. |
| Tx:25.86 | bestow upon another. That is why your sole responsibility must be to | take forgiveness for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you |
| Tx:26.6 | the song your brother sings to you. And let the world recede and | take the rest his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him |
| Tx:26.10 | 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 while the |
| Tx:26.11 | 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 sacrifice that |
| Tx:26.30 | way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two directions you can | take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For never will |
| Tx:26.39 | the dead and gone be peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has come to | take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. |
| Tx:26.45 | embrace. Without Him you are friendless. Seek not another friend to | take His place. There is no other friend. What God appointed has no |
| Tx:26.46 | and unoccupied? Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but | take the place of Him whom God has called your Friend. And it is He |
| Tx:26.48 | because perception is a wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to | take the place of changeless knowledge. Yet is truth unchanged. It |
| Tx:26.73 | Yet the acceptance of the working out can seem to | take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your |
| Tx:26.79 | of Them. It is Their Presence which has lifted holiness again to | take its ancient place upon an ancient throne. Because of Them have |
| Tx:26.88 | must be loss. Someone must lose his innocence that someone else can | take it from him, making it his own. |
| Tx:26.89 | be added, for the world is purposeless except for this. To add or | take away from this one goal is but to take away all purpose from the |
| Tx:26.89 | except for this. To add or take away from this one goal is but to | take away all purpose from the world and from yourself. And each |
| Tx:27.8 | The end of life must come, whatever way that life be spent. And so | take pleasure in the quickly passing and ephemeral. |
| Tx:27.11 | free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and perfect healing | take the place of death. The body can become a sign of life, a |
| Tx:27.22 | about yourself and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to | take God's function from Him and deny that it is His? Yet if it is |
| Tx:27.22 | if it is not His, it is not yours, for you must lose what you would | take away. |
| Tx:27.34 | unknown 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 |
| Tx:27.34 | you need no pictures and no learning aids.] And what will ultimately | take the place of every learning aid will merely be. Forgiveness |
| Tx:27.50 | Problems are not specific, but they | take specific forms, and these specific shapes make up the world. And |
| Tx:27.58 | no effects. And this it proves because its own effects have come to | take their place. It matters not the name by which you called your |
| Tx:27.61 | And truth will be revealed to you who chose to let love's symbols | take the place of sin. |
| Tx:27.74 | Rest in the Holy Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to | take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. |
| Tx:28.2 | there to see. Memory, like perception, is a skill made up by you to | take the place of what God gave in your creation. And like all the |
| Tx:28.11 | to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to | take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards. |
| Tx:28.15 | not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to | take the place of loss? What better way to close the little gap |
| Tx:28.38 | and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they | take, for you will lose identity in them. You find yourself by not |
| Tx:28.44 | The Holy Spirit's function is to | take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into |
| Tx:28.45 | 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 aspect of |
| Tx:28.57 | with every brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you | take again, whenever you perceive yourself attacked. No one can |
| Tx:29.6 | in “love,” with intervals of hatred in between. And it will | take command of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into |
| Tx:29.13 | them at your feet and asks you now that you will look on them and | take them for your own. He needs your help in giving them to all who |
| Tx:29.26 | 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 be |
| Tx:29.30 | bring happiness to you. And do not try to hurt him when he fails to | take the part which you assigned to him in what you dream your life |
| Tx:29.40 | If it be conceived to die, then die it must unless it does not | take this purpose as its own. Change is the only thing that can be |
| Tx:29.42 | a world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to | take the place of time. |
| Tx:29.51 | life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot | take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and do |
| Tx:29.55 | you tremble and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can | take no form in which he ever will be real. |
| Tx:30.2 | is not wise to let yourself become preoccupied with every step you | take. The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake, will |
| Tx:30.22 | 6. This tiny grain of wisdom will suffice to | take you further. You are not coerced but merely hope to get a thing |
| Tx:30.39 | form can be a substitute for God the Father's love? What form can | take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What |
| Tx:30.47 | and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can | take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly |
| Tx:30.72 | understanding is the only change that lets the real world rise to | take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless attack |
| Tx:30.82 | in the day, and all that happens now means something else. You | take away another element, and every meaning shifts accordingly. |
| Tx:31.20 | he does not make with us, and we fall back if he does not advance. | Take not his hand in anger but in love, for in his progress do you |
| Tx:31.26 | his sins, but only for your own. Whatever form his sins appear to | take, it but obscures the fact that you believe them to be yours and |
| Tx:31.33 | from them by leaving them behind? What must go with you, you will | take with you whatever road you choose to walk along. |
| Tx:31.44 | you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol, made to | take the place of your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self |
| Tx:31.79 | Whatever form temptation seems to | take, it always but reflects a wish to be a self which you are not. |
| Tx:31.84 | Choose once again if you would | take your place among the saviors of the world, or would remain in |
| W1:2.2 | Take the subjects simply as you see them. Try to apply the exercise | |
| W1:13.8 | to this concluding statement. Whatever form such resistance may | take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a thought |
| W1:15.3 | As we go along, you may have many “light episodes.” They may | take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be |
| W1:21.2 | present or anticipated, which arouse anger in you. The anger may | take the form of any reaction ranging from mild irritation to rage. |
| W1:26.3 | no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to | take the place of what you are. |
| W1:26.6 | situations whose outcomes are causing you concern. The concern may | take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, |
| W1:33.5 | idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to | take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea to yourself |
| W1:34.5 | form of temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should | take this form: |
| W1:34.7 | If the inroads on your peace of mind | take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as |
| W1:34.7 | idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to | take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you |
| W1:36.2 | protection throughout the day. The longer practice periods should | take this form: |
| W1:39.6 | fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever form they | take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them |
| W1:40.3 | Today's exercises | take little time and no effort. Repeat today's idea, and then add |
| W1:41.2 | And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may | take. Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate |
| W1:45.4 | Our three five-minute practice periods for today will | take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. |
| W1:45.12 | to you to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. | Take a minute or two as you repeat the idea throughout the day to |
| W1:48.2 | and in any situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that you | take a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat |
| W1:48.3 | you recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His strength | take the place of yours. The instant you are willing to do this, |
| W1:51.2 | let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may | take its place. |
| W1:51.5 | with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to | take their place. I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not |
| W1:61.9 | necessary. This is the first of a number of giant steps we will | take in the next few weeks. Try today to begin to build a firm |
| W1:62.3 | all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will | take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the |
| W1:65.1 | have invented for yourself. This is the only way in which you can | take your rightful place among the saviors of the world. This is the |
| W1:66.16 | It will not | take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words |
| W1:72.1 | which are actually associated with the ego, while the ego appears to | take on the attributes of God. |
| W1:72.7 | As a body, do not let yourself be deprived of what the body offers. | Take the little you can get. God gave you nothing. The body is your |
| W1:76.10 | is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and never | take. |
| W1:78.6 | be seen. He who was enemy is more than friend when he is freed to | take the holy role the Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be |
| W1:78.12 | We will remember this throughout the day and | take the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not |
| W1:80.1 | conflict has been given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready to | take your rightful place in God's plan for salvation. |
| W1:R2.2 | The longer practice periods will follow this general form: | take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about |
| W1:R2.3 | distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may | take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your |
| W1:83.3 | More specific applications of this idea might | take these forms: |
| W1:91.10 | about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to | take their place. Say, for example: |
| W1:97.6 | The Holy Spirit will be glad to | take five minutes of each hour from your hands and carry them around |
| 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 |
| W1:98.1 | and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but | take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth |
| W1:98.1 | seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is and | take the part assigned to us by God. |
| W1:98.2 | How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today and | take our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks that doubt |
| W1:98.3 | in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will | take today that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by |
| 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 every gain |
| W1:98.13 | Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He would have you | take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this |
| W1:100.2 | 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 might be restored |
| W1:100.4 | so your joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go and | take their place beside you in God's plan. God's messengers are |
| W1:100.5 | We will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to | take the part that is essential to God's plan as well as to our |
| W1:100.8 | is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to | take his place among God's messengers. Think what this means. You |
| W1:103.6 | brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to | take the place of pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster |
| W1:105.3 | from the gifts you give and leaves you nothing in the ones you | take. A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your |
| W1:108.1 | will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to | take its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is |
| W1:109.6 | healing. No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. | Take time today to slip away from dreams and into peace. |
| W1:109.7 | Each hour that you | take your rest today, a tired mind is suddenly made glad, a bird with |
| W1:109.7 | that you came to bring the peace of God into the world that it might | take its rest along with you. |
| W1:109.10 | the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to | take his rest and offer it to you. |
| W1:R3.12 | and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to | take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy |
| W1:111.3 | weakness is the dark His gift dispels by giving me His strength to | take its place. |
| W1:121.8 | learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can learn today to | take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We will |
| W1:122.8 | safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to | take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open |
| W1:123.2 | Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to | take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today. |
| W1:127.6 | all the changes which you think are part of human destiny. Today we | take the largest single step this course requests in your advance |
| W1:129.5 | see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to | take its place as you unbind your mind from little things the world |
| W1:129.6 | Let it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it to | take the place of all the things you seek but do not want. |
| W1:129.11 | grateful that the choice is made. Remember your decision hourly, and | take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts |
| W1:130.10 | there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who will | take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to see |
| W1:130.12 | the release of Heaven still remains within your range of choice to | take the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you |
| W1:131.10 | a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to | take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself and contradicts |
| W1:133.2 | ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not attempt to | take from you the little that you have. It does not try to substitute |
| W1:133.7 | is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can never | take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never there |
| W1:133.8 | Next, if you choose to | take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing left. This |
| W1:133.8 | the things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to | take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet |
| W1:135.11 | but merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal but merely | take away the hope of healing, for you fail to see where hope must |
| W1:135.15 | not difficult to realize in some forms which these self-deceptions | take, for the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet planning is not |
| W1:135.18 | which is the “threat” that your defenses would attack, obscure, and | take apart and crucify. |
| W1:135.28 | to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the world will | take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you. |
| W1:136.7 | that they stand but for your own decision of what should be real, to | take the place of what is real. |
| W1:136.18 | Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to | take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no dark |
| W1:137.5 | that have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise to | take the place of what has never been at all, healing but offers |
| W1:137.16 | to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to | take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. |
| W1:138.6 | In this insanely complicated world, Heaven appears to | take the form of choice rather than merely being what it is. Of all |
| W1:140.4 | can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may | take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but |
| W1:140.14 | we learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and | take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be |
| W1:R4.5 | else and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to | take its place. |
| W1:R4.6 | mind holds only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot | take the place of truth. No more than can a child who throws a stick |
| W1:152.8 | will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will | take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the |
| W1:153.1 | its brief relationships and all the “gifts” it merely lends to | take away again, attend this lesson well. The world provides no |
| W1:153.11 | not see the light until you offer it to all your brothers. As they | take it from your hands, so will you recognize it as your own. |
| W1:153.13 | more to play our final happy game upon this earth. And then we go to | take our rightful place where truth abides and games are meaningless. |
| W1:153.20 | as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will now begin to | take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind from |
| W1:158.9 | because a vision of the holiness which lies beyond them comes to | take their place. It matters not what form they took nor how enormous |
| W1:159.9 | Take from His storehouse that its treasures may increase. His lilies | |
| W1:160.3 | could the reason be except that you had asked this stranger in to | take your place and let you be a stranger to yourself? No one would |
| W1:161.1 | Today we practice differently and | take a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and |
| W1:161.9 | you could scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you will | take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight that sees |
| W1:161.12 | of one who can forgive you all your sins, whose sacred hands can | take the nails which pierce your own away and lift the crown of |
| W1:163.3 | when the time has come for its arrival. It will never fail to | take all life as hostage to itself. |
| W1:163.8 | Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we | take today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life |
| W1:167.4 | change. It is the fixed belief ideas can leave their source and | take on qualities the source does not contain, becoming different |
| W1:169.8 | forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We merely | take the part assigned long since and fully recognized as perfectly |
| W1:169.10 | matter. For your part is still what all the rest depends on. As you | take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a little nearer each |
| W1:R5.1 | we are preparing for another phase of understanding. We would | take this step completely, that we may go on again more certain, more |
| W1:R5.7 | is This that waits to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we | take brings us a little nearer. This review will shorten time |
| W1:R5.8 | I | take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a little |
| W1:R5.11 | from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we go together. | Take your brother's hand, for this is not a way we walk alone. In him |
| W1:182.8 | to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that instant, He will | take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect |
| W1:182.11 | Take time today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and | |
| W1:182.11 | universe, and yet He asks unceasingly that you return with Him and | take illusions as your gods no more. |
| W1:184.8 | body makes response to what you call him, for his mind consents to | take the name you give him as his own. And thus his unity is twice |
| W1:184.9 | all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to | take a teaching function. You have need to use the symbols of the |
| W1:184.12 | inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to | take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let |
| W1:185.4 | And what bargain can give them the peace of God? Illusions come to | take His place. And what He means is lost to sleeping minds intent on |
| W1:185.9 | unrecognized in forms which shift and change with every step you | take. |
| W1:185.12 | sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to | take the place of truth. |
| W1:185.13 | been requested and received by anyone. God gives but to unite. To | take away is meaningless to Him. And when it is as meaningless to |
| W1:186.1 | Here is the statement that will one day | take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of true |
| W1:186.2 | to do we have the strength to do. Our minds are suited perfectly to | take the part assigned to us by One Who knows us well. |
| W1:187.6 | Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may | take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, |
| W1:187.7 | of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to | take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at |
| W1:187.9 | on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will | take away all thought of form and leave instead the perfect gift |
| W1:188.8 | We practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We | take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to where they |
| W1:193.3 | And He created One Who could perceive what form this law should | take, to be received by every mind which had forgotten it as it |
| W1:193.20 | the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God will | take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He asks |
| W1:193.20 | this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He asks you | take to Him. |
| W1:195.2 | and with happiness. Nor could the even partly sane refuse to | take the steps which He directs and follow in the way He sets before |
| W1:196.4 | Today's idea is one step we | take in leading us from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let |
| W1:196.4 | in leading us from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let us | take this step today that we may quickly go the way salvation shows |
| W1:196.8 | Our next steps will be easy if you | take this one today. From there we go ahead quite rapidly. For once |
| W1:197.1 | Here is the second step we | take to free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted |
| W1:197.4 | thankfully acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you | take them back when He has gratefully accepted them? |
| W1:197.6 | what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness | take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can |
| W1:198.6 | last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of God will come to | take its place, for it will be remembered then and loved. |
| W1:199.5 | it today and every day. Make it a part of every practice period you | take. There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help |
| W1:R6.1 | For this review, we | take but one idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. |
| W1:R6.10 | And then repeat the idea for the day, and let it | take the place of what you thought. Beyond such special applications |
| W2:I.2 | in quiet expectation for our God and Father. He has promised He will | take the final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are kept. |
| W2:I.4 | Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for Him to | take the step to us that He has told us, through His Voice, He would |
| W2:I.4 | to us that He has told us, through His Voice, He would not fail to | take when we invited Him. He has not left His Son in all his madness |
| W2:I.6 | through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and | take that world to be the full replacement of our own. |
| W2:WF.1 | sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free to | take its place is now the Will of God. |
| W2:228.1 | Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I | take His Word for what I am since He is my Creator and the One Who |
| W2:WIS.1 | the means by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions | take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the |
| W2:WIHS.5 | of Heaven is restored to God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to | take the function of completing God when all He wills is that you be |
| W2:WIRW.5 | His purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for God to | take His final step, and time has disappeared, taking perception with |
| W2:WIRW.5 | we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to | take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our forgiveness has |
| W2:295.1 | world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of mind to me and | take away all terror and all pain. And as they are removed from me, |
| W2:WISC.1 | is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God's Word to | take illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon |
| W2:309.2 | The step I | take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. |
| W2:317.1 | special place to fill—a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I | take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am |
| W2:318.2 | Let me today, my Father, | take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement |
| W2:324.1 | for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the role to | take, and every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the way. I |
| W2:327.1 | I am not asked to | take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has |
| W2:327.1 | Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that will endure and | take me farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For |
| W2:330.1 | powerless when God holds out His power and His love and bids them | take what is already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept |
| W2:332.1 | awaking to the Real. Forgiveness bids this presence enter in and | take its rightful place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the |
| W2:342.2 | Brother, forgive me now. I come to you to | take you home with me. And as we go, the world goes with us on the |
| W2:343.1 | The gift of everything can but be gain. You only give. You never | take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes |
| 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 eternity? |
| M:7.5 | self, for only such a self can be doubted. This illusion can | take many forms. Perhaps there is a fear of weakness and |
| M:13.1 | illusion, which must be displaced before another thought system can | take hold, is that it is a sacrifice to give up the things of this |
| M:15.3 | hear the Voice of Judgment in yourself? Or do you still attempt to | take His role from Him? Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in |
| M:16.4 | that can be made is this—as soon as possible after waking, | take your quiet time, continuing a minute or two after you begin to |
| M:16.5 | be fairly early in the evening if it is not feasible for you to | take it just before going to sleep. It is not wise to lie down for |
| M:17.4 | perhaps too mild to be even clearly recognized. Or it may also | take the form of intense rage accompanied by thoughts of violence, |
| M:17.8 | this is even dimly grasped, the way is open. Now it is possible to | take the next step. The interpretation can be changed at last. Magic |
| M:22.2 | long, let him be content. He has decided on the direction he will | take. What more was asked of him? And having done what was required, |
| M:22.3 | A body that can order a mind to do as it sees fit would merely | take the place of God and prove salvation is impossible. What then is |
| M:23.6 | limits by and went beyond the farthest reach of learning. He will | take you with him, for he did not go alone. And you were with him |
| M:24.3 | For our purposes, it would not be helpful to | take any definite stand on reincarnation. A teacher of God should be |
| M:28.1 | consummated and surpassed with this. It is the invitation to God to | take His final step. It is the relinquishment of all other purposes, |
| M:28.6 | of those asleep and seeing there the vision of Christ's face to | take the place of what they dreamed. The thought of murder is |

| Tx:21.62 | Madness is an attack on reason that drives it out of mind and | takes its place. Reason does not attack but takes the place of |
| Tx:21.62 | it out of mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack but | takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the |
| Tx:22.31 | reason sees through it easily because it is an error. The form it | takes cannot conceal its emptiness from reason's eyes. |
| Tx:23.27 | The ego values only what it | takes. This leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the others |
| Tx:23.34 | who thinks that one of them is true sees what it says. Some forms it | takes seem to have meaning, and that is all. |
| Tx:23.35 | by turning on himself? How can it matter what the form this madness | takes? It is a judgment that defeats itself, condemning what it says |
| Tx:23.35 | what it says it wants to save. Be not deceived when madness | takes a form you think is lovely. What is intent on your destruction |
| Tx:23.41 | the thought entails. If the intent is death, what matter the form it | takes? |
| Tx:23.45 | they accept forgiveness side by side with the belief that murder | takes some forms by which their peace is saved? Would they be willing |
| Tx:23.46 | intent to murder and to die. Think you the form that murder | takes can offer safety? Can guilt be absent from a battlefield? [Do |
| Tx:23.47 | your wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the form it | takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you fear and not the |
| Tx:24.5 | to be defended though unrecognized, is faith in specialness. This | takes many forms but always clashes with the reality of God's |
| Tx:24.40 | knows that it is one with Him and with His Father. Specialness, too, | takes joy in what it sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek |
| Tx:24.62 | such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that | takes the place of yours? And where are they, now that the host of |
| Tx:25.10 | All this | takes note of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you |
| Tx:25.48 | is really there at all.] And this is seen and understood as each one | takes his part in its undoing, as he did in making it. He has the |
| Tx:25.53 | you believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the form it | takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified in |
| Tx:25.66 | lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in whatever form it | takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made that |
| Tx:26.13 | from which the Son of God is suffering, but needlessly. And so He | takes the thorns and nails away. He does not pause to judge whether |

| Tx:26.54 | represents is but your wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness | takes away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the |

| Tx:31.24 | 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 the form you |

| W1:126.9 | to understand today's idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness | takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the thought that |
| W1:129.2 | quick to avenge, and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind and | takes away all things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting |
| W1:130.12 | show to you. All you need say to any part of hell, whatever form it | takes, is simply this: |
| W1:136.6 | They aim at doing this, and this they seem to do. Every defense | takes fragments of the whole, assembles them without regard to all |
| W1:140.1 | thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness | takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well. |
| W1:140.4 | guilt. Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It | takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And that is |
| W1:140.6 | its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it | takes. It merely focuses on what it is and knows that no illusion can |

| W1:167.2 | You call it death. Yet we have learned that the idea of death | takes many forms. It is the one idea which underlies all feelings |

| W1:195.3 | because you see in him the rival for your peace, a plunderer who | takes his joy from you and leaves you nothing but a black despair so |

| Tx:16.23 | freedom unless you did believe in it. And it must be that what you | taught came from yourself. And yet, this Self you clearly do not know |

| Tx:16.24 | that is perfectly apparent. Yet within you is everything you | taught. What can it be that has not learned it? It must be this that |

| W1:24.2 | that you do not perceive your own best interests, you could be | taught what they are. But in the presence of your conviction that you |

| Tx:7.77 | they believe they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and | teach your brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, |
| Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit will | teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond belief, |
| Tx:7.90 | The whole purpose of this course is to | teach you that the ego is unbelievable and will forever be |
| Tx:7.101 | very apt to confuse the two. The Holy Spirit's main function is to | teach you to tell them apart. However strange it may seem that this |
| Tx:7.105 | by the Will of God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice will | teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and will lead you |

| Tx:8.10 | they are one. This is the undoing of everything the ego tries to | teach. It is not, then, only the direction of the curriculum which |
| Tx:8.11 | The ego wants to | teach you that you want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson |
| Tx:8.12 | part of your mind that taught you to believe they are the same to | teach you the difference between them? |
| Tx:8.16 | to listen to the Teacher who knows of light and can therefore | teach it to you. There is no limit on your learning, because there is |
| Tx:8.16 | there is no limit on your minds. There is no limit on His Will to | teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to teach. |
| Tx:8.16 | to teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to | teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He wills to fulfill it |
| Tx:8.17 | an experience of total willingness. The Holy Spirit knows how to | teach this, but you do not. That is why you need Him and why God gave |
| Tx:8.18 | 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 God |
| Tx:8.22 | someone else. And every holy encounter in which you enter fully will | teach you this is not so. |
| Tx:8.24 | your self is the function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly will | teach you what you have of Him, and this will teach you what you are |
| Tx:8.24 | it perfectly will teach you what you have of Him, and this will | teach you what you are in Him. You cannot be powerless to do this, |
| Tx:8.28 | will I send you to others, and I will go to them with you so we can | teach them [union and peace]. |
| Tx:8.32 | want to be different, I will wait until you change your mind. I can | teach you, but only you can choose to listen to my teaching. How else |
| Tx:8.32 | being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to | teach, knowing that it is true. |
| Tx:8.55 | it only to reach the minds of those who believe they are bodies and | teach them through the body that this is not so, you will begin to |
| Tx:8.79 | teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can | teach His message through you. This will heal them and therefore heal |
| Tx:8.80 | body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy Spirit | teach you the right perception of the body, for perception alone can |
| Tx:8.96 | really why you persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly | teach you your will. Of him you can never learn it, and this gives |
| Tx:8.98 | of guilt and, believing that punishment is inevitable, attempts to | teach himself to like it. The truth is, very simply, that no one |
| Tx:9.5 | are undone. How is this different from telling you that what you | teach you learn? Your brother is as right as you are, and if you |
| Tx:9.8 | have made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to use it. He will | teach you how to see yourself without condemnation by learning how to |
| Tx:9.21 | is an advantage to bringing nightmares into awareness, but only to | teach that they are not real and that anything they contain is |
| Tx:9.22 | If they are theologians, they are likely to condemn themselves, | teach condemnation, and advocate a very fearful solution. Projecting |
| Tx:9.25 | he is not working correctively. He believes that it is up to him to | teach the patient what is real, but he does not know it himself. |
| Tx:9.33 | If your brothers are part of you, will you accept them? Only they can | teach you what you are, and your learning is the result of what you |
| Tx:9.35 | gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them will | teach you its value. They will become the witnesses to your reality, |
| Tx:10.21 | nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will | teach you how to do this if you but recognize the little spark and |
| Tx:10.56 | and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the ego | teach truly when it overlooks truth? Can it perceive what it has |
| Tx:10.65 | of God surrounds His Son, whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. | Teach not that I died in vain. Teach rather that I did not die by |
| Tx:10.65 | the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in vain. | Teach rather that I did not die by demonstrating that I live in you. |
| Tx:10.90 | 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 impossible. When you |
| Tx:11.11 | to supply the loss, the basic cause of fear is removed. Thereby you | teach yourself that fear does not exist in you, for you have in |
| Tx:11.24 | meant: If you had no investment in anything in this world, you could | teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor are merely those who |
| Tx:11.38 | response pattern you need. The ego will therefore distort love and | teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego can |
| Tx:11.38 | and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego can | teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but |
| Tx:11.40 | because that is His mission. As He fulfills His mission, He will | teach you yours, for your mission is the same as His. By guiding your |
| Tx:11.48 | the meaning of love, and that is your handicap. Do not attempt to | teach yourselves what you do not understand, and do not try to set up |
| Tx:11.52 | understood, is limitless because it will lead you to God. You can | teach the way to Him and learn it if you follow the Teacher Who knows |
| Tx:11.53 | The ego is trying to | teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The |
| Tx:11.54 | aware that you do not know yourselves and perfectly aware of how to | teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly teach |
| Tx:11.54 | how to teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly | teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it. Remembering you |
| Tx:12.57 | him. And so it is that he can call unto himself the witnesses that | teach him that he never slept. |
| Tx:12.75 | 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 only real |
| Tx:13.15 | that he thinks that he has done this unto you. Would you, then, | teach him that he is right in his delusion? The idea that the |
| Tx:13.26 | healing, but He also knows of creation. He would have you see and | teach as He does, and through Him. Yet what He knows, you do not |
| Tx:13.27 | Now it is given you to heal and | teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God |
| Tx:13.42 | 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 that it is in |
| Tx:13.43 | be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to | teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn |
| Tx:13.51 | Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the world to | teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and leads to |
| Tx:13.52 | He knows to be true, you have denied yourself, and He must therefore | teach you not to deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were |
| Tx:13.54 | that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy Spirit cannot | teach without this contrast, for you believe that misery is |
| Tx:13.57 | that all this is not true. To these unhappy learners who would | teach themselves nothing and delude themselves into believing that it |
| Tx:13.60 | When you | teach anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you |
| Tx:13.70 | God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have you | teach with Him. It is His joy to teach it, as it will be yours. |
| Tx:13.70 | Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to | teach it, as it will be yours. |
| Tx:13.71 | The way to | teach this simple lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is |
| Tx:13.71 | Therefore, make your invulnerability manifest to everyone, and | teach him that whatever he may try to do to you, your perfect freedom |
| Tx:13.71 | that can hurt you, and by refusing to allow him to think he can, you | teach him that the Atonement, which you have accepted for yourself, |
| Tx:13.72 | God is the only Cause, and guilt is not of Him. | Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you teach yourself that |
| Tx:13.72 | is not of Him. Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you | teach yourself that what is not of God has power over you. The |
| Tx:13.77 | The One Who knows the plan of God which God would have you follow can | teach you what it is. Only His wisdom is capable of guiding you to |
| Tx:13.80 | the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and | teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For you |
| Tx:13.85 | Then let Him | teach you quietly how to perceive your guiltlessness, which is |
| Tx:13.91 | Who speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So will He | teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by |
| Tx:13.91 | have laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to | teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane |
| Tx:14.3 | teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It does not | teach you what you are or what your Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who |
| Tx:14.6 | all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would | teach you nothing except how to be happy. |
| Tx:14.11 | as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you | teach only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most |
| Tx:14.13 | Blessed are you who | teach with me. Our power comes not of us but of our Father. In |
| Tx:14.13 | knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to peace. | Teach peace with me and stand with me on holy ground. Remember for |
| Tx:14.13 | Father's power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot | teach His perfect peace. Stand not outside but join with me within. |
| Tx:14.20 | decision, which you made in place of the power of creation, He would | teach you how to use on your behalf. You who made it to crucify |
| Tx:14.23 | attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His gentleness | teach you that in the light they are not fearful and cannot serve to |
| Tx:14.56 | upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and | teach you both his love and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours |
| Tx:14.57 | give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this course will | teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have |
| Tx:14.60 | Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present or | teach you how to undo the past. Your past is what you have taught |
| Tx:14.66 | By this refusal to attempt to | teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you |
| Tx:14.69 | lessons He has not already lightened for you. The lessons you would | teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do not exist in His |
| Tx:14.70 | He Who has freed you from the past would | teach you are free of it. He would but have you accept His |
| Tx:14.71 | the miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears. | Teach like Him here, and you will remember that you have always |
| Tx:15.12 | He asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes far longer to | teach you how to be willing to give Him this than for Him to use this |
| Tx:15.17 | time into eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to | teach God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. |
| Tx:15.31 | is because I learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but | teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby |
| Tx:15.75 | in His voice your own need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot | teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you |
| Tx:15.76 | safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego will always | teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that communication is |
| Tx:15.79 | He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He will | teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your |
| Tx:15.83 | The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would | teach you what you do not understand. God would respond to every |
| Tx:15.84 | it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God | teach you the only meaning of relationships. For God created the only |
| Tx:15.91 | 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 communication and |
| Tx:15.92 | 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 only gift |
| Tx:15.108 | The lesson I was born to | teach and still would teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is |
| Tx:15.108 | The lesson I was born to teach and still would | teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is |
| Tx:16.1 | very different.] He does not understand suffering and would have you | teach it is not understandable. When He relates through you, He does |
| Tx:16.6 | The unredeemed cannot redeem, yet they have a Redeemer. Attempt to | teach Him not. You are the learner; He the Teacher. Do not confuse |
| Tx:16.7 | Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He will | teach you how to meet both without losing either. |
| Tx:16.17 | and attack is power. Should not this be a sufficient miracle to | teach you that your Teacher is not of you? But remember also that |
| Tx:16.23 | you that you do not regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to | teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is equally |
| Tx:16.24 | yourself. You have taught what you are but have not let what you are | teach you. You have been very careful to avoid the obvious and not to |
| Tx:16.27 | with teaching. You have chosen this by your own willingness to | teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching will |
| Tx:16.73 | it in the special relationship, which binds you to it and would | teach you that salvation is past and that you must return to the past |
| Tx:16.75 | lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must | teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The |
| Tx:17.5 | belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to | teach that the illusions are unreal and thus enable you to escape |
| Tx:17.15 | 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:18.28 | Each instant that we spend together will | teach you that this goal is possible and will strengthen your desire |
| Tx:18.35 | they are. Your willingness is needed only to make it possible to | teach you what they are. If you maintain you are unworthy of learning |
| Tx:18.66 | achieved their instants of success. This course does not attempt to | teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving time. |
| Tx:18.92 | bruise yourself against them in traveling through. Let your Guide | teach you their unsubstantial nature as He leads you past them, for |
| Tx:19.30 | is One Who knows it is unbroken and forever changeless. This One can | teach you how to look on time differently and see beyond it, but not |
| Tx:19.57 | you my body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I | teach that bodies cannot keep us apart? Mine was no greater value |
| Tx:19.83 | acceptance the power to release from corruption. What better way to | teach the first and fundamental principle in a course on miracles |
| Tx:19.89 | me not see it as a sign of sin and death nor use it for destruction. | Teach me how not to make of it an obstacle to peace but let You use |
| Tx:21.34 | for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to | teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to |
| Tx:21.41 | The Holy Spirit will never | teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this makes |
| Tx:21.64 | and from his Father forever and without a hope of safe return. You | teach him this, and you will learn of him exactly what you taught. |
| Tx:21.64 | this, and you will learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can | teach him only that he is as you would have him, and what you choose |
| Tx:21.85 | To bodies, yes! The thoughts that seem to kill are those which | teach the thinker that he can be killed. And so he dies because of |
| Tx:22.4 | Think what a holy relationship can | teach! Here is belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in |
| Tx:22.12 | Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child will | teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his will |
| Tx:22.63 | necessary that you have other experiences more in line with truth to | teach you what is natural and true. |
| Tx:22.65 | you regret you cannot fear alone when your relationship can also | teach the power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do |
| Tx:22.65 | denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the same and | teach you which is true. |
| Tx:23.11 | and what 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. |
| Tx:23.43 | a little, love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would | teach a little of the same can still be different, and yet the same |
| Tx:24.69 | This course makes no attempt to | teach what cannot easily be learned. Its scope does not exceed your |
| Tx:24.69 | 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 taught. It |
| Tx:25.9 | it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit's function to | teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must do that it |
| Tx:26.22 | has set. It will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to | teach what is the same and what is different, leaving room to make |
| Tx:26.39 | along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course will | teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past, |
| Tx:27.16 | And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you | teach to him. |
| Tx:27.17 | Your body can be means to | teach that it has never suffered pain because of him. And in its |
| Tx:27.77 | and avoid the things that would be hurtful. Above all, it tries to | teach itself its pains and joys are different and can be told apart. |
| Tx:27.79 | one purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to | teach again, and still again, and yet once more that it is cause and |
| Tx:27.87 | and of pain. The form affects His answer not at all, for He would | teach you but the single cause of all of them, no matter what their |
| Tx:27.89 | like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He will | teach you how each one is caused. None has a different cause from all |
| Tx:28.26 | to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not | teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the |
| Tx:28.26 | the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to | teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be |
| Tx:29.16 | Yet here on earth it has a double purpose, for it can be made to | teach opposing things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching |
| Tx:31.3 | you cannot learn them. For your power to learn is strong enough to | teach you that your will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong |
| Tx:31.5 | sought to demonstrate, and you have learned what it was made to | teach. Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the |
| Tx:31.5 | ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice of truth and | teach you that Its lessons are not true, too hard to learn, too |
| Tx:31.40 | choose the better to deceive yourself again. This course attempts to | teach no more than that the power of decision cannot lie in choosing |
| Tx:31.40 | utterly opposed to truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to | teach that what your brother loses you have lost and what he gains is |
| Tx:31.44 | your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self the world would | teach is not the thing that it appears to be. For it is made to serve |
| Tx:31.47 | innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self was made to | teach. It is a lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear so |
| Tx:31.50 | to be given you. Nor can it be unlearned except by lessons aimed to | teach that you are something else. For otherwise you would be asked |
| Tx:31.59 | The world can | teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come |
| Tx:31.82 | whom He asks release? And what but this is what this course would | teach? And what but this is there for you to learn? |
| Tx:31.83 | Temptation has one lesson it would | teach in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy |
| W1:12.2 | a measured, even tempo throughout. What you see does not matter. You | teach yourself this as you give whatever your glance rests on equal |
| W1:37.3 | Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you | teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not |
| W1:39.3 | give what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he | teach salvation? Today's exercises will apply to you alone, |
| W1:54.6 | to replace loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it | teach me that my will and the Will of God are one. |
| W1:56.2 | God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will | teach me what it is. |
| W1:90.5 | 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 is |
| W1:95.17 | of darkness from the world and let the light in you come through to | teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect |
| W1:99.14 | Then turn to Him who shares your function here, and let Him | teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your |
| W1:101.5 | You need the practice periods today. The exercises | teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin |
| W1:103.3 | This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today and | teach ourselves: |
| W1:106.12 | of God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can | teach the world what giving means by listening and learning it of |
| W1:108.13 | Our very simple lesson for today will | teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood from |
| W1:121.7 | Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to | teach your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from |
| W1:121.7 | your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you | teach salvation, you will learn. |
| W1:127.4 | No course whose purpose is to | teach you what you really are could fail to emphasize there is no |
| W1:127.8 | loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you allow His Voice to | teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He will bless |
| W1:132.7 | There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to | teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as |
| W1:132.8 | and recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to | teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this world, |
| W1:134.13 | for the world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to | teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the world which |
| W1:134.15 | Who understands the meaning of forgiveness and was sent to us to | teach it. Let us ask of Him: |
| W1:137.9 | by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons | teach how easily salvation can be yours, how little practice you need |
| W1:138.5 | accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we seek to | teach within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to |
| W1:139.9 | know that they are part of you and you of them. This does Atonement | teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's Son is unassailed by his |
| W1:151.10 | to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings and | teach the single lesson which they all contain. |
| W1:151.15 | begins 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 |
| W1:153.11 | come to realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to | teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the |
| W1:153.12 | and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games which | teach them that the game of fear is gone. His game instructs in |
| W1:157.9 | transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never | teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision |
| W1:161.3 | from the one we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we made to | teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a different |
| W1:166.13 | They do not understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who | teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way |
| W1:166.13 | you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk. | Teach them by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel |
| W1:R5.7 | that this course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and | teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we thought |
| W1:R5.10 | Together we devote our time and effort to them. And together we will | teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It |
| W1:184.5 | direction for the mind to channel its perception. It is hard to | teach the mind a thousand alien names and thousands more. Yet you |
| W1:184.7 | question its effects. Learning which stops with what the world would | teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it serves but as a |
| W1:193.4 | joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each lesson you would | teach in hate to one in which forgiveness enters, and returns the |
| W1:196.3 | Thus do you also | teach your mind that you are not an ego. For the ways in which the |
| W1:198.5 | to yourself to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would | teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your own |
| W1:R6.11 | I offer this review for 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 |
| W1:R6.11 | day by day, advancing toward the goal He set for us, allowing Him to | teach us how to go, and trusting Him completely for the way each |
| W2:296.2 | We | teach today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning |
| W2:330.1 | we attack our minds and give them images of pain? Why should we | teach them they are powerless when God holds out His power and His |
| W2:WAI.2 | we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and | teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us. |
| M:I.1 | of one's time. The course, on the other hand, emphasizes that to | teach is to learn, so that teacher and learner are the same. It also |
| M:I.2 | To | teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you |
| M:I.2 | others learn and so do you. The question is not whether you will | teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course |
| M:I.2 | be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you want to | teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give to |
| M:I.2 | is not done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to | teach others what you are and what they are to you. No more than |
| M:I.3 | not to use the content of any situation on behalf of what you really | teach and therefore learn. To this the verbal content of your |
| M:I.3 | real. But it does mean that the self you think is real is what you | teach. |
| M:I.4 | nothing but despair and death, God sends His teachers. And as they | teach His lessons of joy and hope, their learning finally becomes |
| M:I.5 | seem forever “real.” The self-deceiving must deceive, for they must | teach deception. And what else is hell? This is a manual for the |
| M:I.5 | be here. Yet it is their mission to become perfect here, and so they | teach perfection over and over in many, many ways until they have |

| M:24.4 | wise to step away from all such questions, for he has much to | teach and learn apart from them. He should both learn and teach that |
| M:24.4 | much to teach and learn apart from them. He should both learn and | teach that theoretical issues but waste time, draining it away from |

| Tx:16.27 | For the joy of teaching is in the learner, who offers it to the | teacher in gratitude and shares it with him. As you learn, your |
| Tx:17.4 | have established this order in reality by giving some of it to one | teacher and some to another. And so you learn to deal with part of |
| Tx:19.30 | held to the body by the fear of changed perception which its | teacher, who is one with it, would bring. |

| Tx:26.30 | point in different ways. And you will go along the way your chosen | teacher leads. There are but two directions you can take while time |
| Tx:26.31 | is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real | Teacher of the world. Yet since you do believe in [its reality], why |
| Tx:26.32 | God gave His | Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict with it. And |
| Tx:26.34 | Son of God can hardly still be there for you to choose to be your | teacher. Only in the past—an ancient past, too short to make a |
| Tx:26.36 | that the past is over. Madness speaks no more. There is no other | teacher and no other way. For what has been undone no longer is. And |
| Tx:29.16 | for it can be made to teach opposing things. And they reflect the | teacher who is teaching them. The body can appear to change with |

| W1:121.6 | yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a | Teacher other than yourself, who represents the other Self in you. |
| W1:121.8 | all your teaching and your learning will be not of you, but of the | Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you. Today we practice |
| W1:155.3 | the truth because they have denied that it is so. And so they need a | teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look beyond |
| W1:158.5 | The | teacher does not give experience because he did not learn it. It |
| W1:190.11 | or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our | Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to choose our joy instead of |
| W1:193.12 | own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's | Teacher sets before you that all pain may disappear and God may be |
| W1:R6.10 | to aid your practicing. Instead we give these times of quiet to the | Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives our |
| W2:FL.6 | ask Him to help us to learn His lessons through the Voice of His own | Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him and |
| M:I.1 | of the world. The reversal is characteristic. It seems as if the | teacher and the learner are separated, the teacher giving something |
| M:I.1 | It seems as if the teacher and the learner are separated, the | teacher giving something to the learner rather than to himself. |
| M:I.1 | on the other hand, emphasizes that to teach is to learn, so that | teacher and learner are the same. It also emphasizes that teaching is |
| M:1.1 | A | teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications |
| M:1.1 | in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a | teacher of God. |
| M:1.3 | There is a course for every | teacher of God. The form of the course varies greatly. So do the |
| M:1.3 | language, in any place or time or manner. It does not matter who the | teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his |
| M:2.4 | and still again, it seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and | teacher seem to come together in the present, finding each other as |
| M:2.4 | choice in that ancient instant which he now relives. So has the | teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's |
| M:2.5 | When pupil and | teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the |
| M:2.5 | teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the | teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's Teacher |
| M:2.5 | For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's | Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. |
| M:2.5 | one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a | teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave |
| M:2.5 | of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his | teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as |
| M:3.1 | can look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a | teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach. |
| M:3.1 | the plan includes very specific contacts to be made for each | teacher of God. There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to |
| M:3.3 | The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the | teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the world with |
| M:3.5 | the saviors of the teachers who falter and may even seem to fail. No | teacher of God can fail to find the Help he needs. |
| M:4.5 | external circumstances. These changes are always helpful. When the | teacher of God has learned that much, he goes on to the second stage. |
| M:4.6 | Next, the | teacher of God must go through a “period of sorting-out.” This is |
| M:4.7 | Therefore, the period of overlap is apt to be one in which the | teacher of God feels called upon to sacrifice his own best interests |
| M:4.8 | comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which the | teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates |
| M:4.8 | what he has learned. Its potential is literally staggering, and the | teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees |
| M:4.8 | what you do.” How simple is the obvious! And how easy to do! The | teacher of God needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as |
| M:4.9 | The next stage is indeed a “period of unsettling.” Now must the | teacher of God understand that he did not really know what was |
| M:4.12 | and self-deception is dishonesty. There is no challenge to a | teacher of God. Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which God's |
| M:4.13 | implies a lack of trust, and trust remains the bed-rock of the | teacher of God's whole thought system. Let this be lost, and all his |
| M:4.13 | who stands apart? Judgment destroys honesty and shatters trust. No | teacher of God can judge and hope to learn. |
| M:4.14 | the absence of God's curriculum and its replacement by insanity. No | teacher of God but must learn—and fairly early in his training— |
| M:4.14 | make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn. Nor can God's | Teacher be heard at all except by those who realize that harm can |
| M:4.16 | attends attack. God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His | Teacher goes before them, making sure no harm can come to them. They |
| M:4.17 | does what God created need defense? No one can become an advanced | teacher of God until he fully understands that defenses are but the |
| M:4.17 | the fiercer and more powerful its defenses seem to be. Yet when the | teacher of God finally agrees to look past them, he finds nothing was |
| M:4.18 | The term generosity has special meaning to the | teacher of God. It is not the usual meaning of the word; in fact, it |
| M:4.19 | The | teacher of God is generous out of self-interest. This does not refer, |
| M:4.19 | This does not refer, however, to the self the world speaks of. The | teacher of God does not want anything he cannot give away because he |
| M:4.20 | afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. Patience is natural to the | teacher of God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a time perhaps |
| M:4.20 | to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time. Even so, the | teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his past decisions if |
| M:4.21 | The extent of the | teacher of God's faithfulness is the measure of his advancement in |
| M:4.21 | and his trust not yet firmly established. Faithfulness is the | teacher of God's trust in the word of God to set all things right— |
| M:4.23 | of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the | teacher of God acquires, is easily understood when its relation to |
| M:4.23 | with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the mind against God's | Teacher, so open-mindedness invites Him to come in. As condemnation |
| M:5.8 | patient must change his mind in order to be healed, what does the | teacher of God do? Can he change the patient's mind for him? |
| M:5.9 | another choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a | teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts ask for the right to |
| M:6.1 | keep the illusions. Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The | teacher of God has seen the correction of his errors in the mind of |
| M:6.2 | of God's gifts. Not one is lost, for they can but increase. No | teacher of God should feel disappointed if he has offered healing and |
| M:6.4 | Yet is its fullness guaranteed by God. What concern, then, can a | teacher of God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by God to |
| M:7.1 | as we have already said it is, what is there to repeat? For a | teacher of God to remain concerned about the result of healing is to |
| M:7.1 | about the result of healing is to limit the healing. It is now the | teacher of God himself whose mind needs to be healed. And it is this |
| M:7.2 | Whenever a | teacher of God has tried to be a channel for healing, he has |
| M:7.2 | because the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used it. Now the | teacher of God has only one course to follow. He must use his reason |
| M:7.3 | It is in this that the | teacher of God must trust. This is what is really meant by the |
| M:7.3 | of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. The | teacher of God is a miracle worker because he gives the gifts he has |
| M:7.3 | That was a mistake, but hardly one to stay with. And so the | teacher of God can only recognize it for what it is and let it be |
| M:7.5 | doubt about the outcome of any problem that has been given to God's | Teacher for resolution is always self-doubt. And that necessarily |
| M:8.6 | them all in one category—they are unreal. This is the gift of its | Teacher—the understanding that only two categories are meaningful |
| M:9.1 | in his attitudes would not be the first step in the newly-made | teacher of God's training. There is however no set pattern, since |
| M:9.2 | As the | teacher of God advances in his training, he learns one lesson with |
| M:9.2 | thoroughness. He does not make his own decisions; he asks his | Teacher for His answer, and it is this he follows as his guide for |
| M:9.2 | as his guide for action. This becomes easier and easier as the | teacher of God learns to give up his own judgment. The giving up of |
| M:10.1 | taught. At any time, the student may disagree with what his would-be | teacher says about them, and the teacher himself is inconsistent in |
| M:10.1 | may disagree with what his would-be teacher says about them, and the | teacher himself is inconsistent in what he believes. |
| M:10.2 | does not mean anything. No more does “bad.” It is necessary for the | teacher of God to realize not that he should not judge, but that he |
| M:10.5 | down beneath it. And it was all illusion. Nothing more. Now can the | teacher of God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on. Yet it is not |
| M:10.6 | judgment. But it is difficult indeed to try to keep it. The | teacher of God lays it down happily the instant he recognizes its |
| M:10.6 | were but the effects of his mistaken choice, have fallen from him. | Teacher of God, this step will bring you peace. Can it be difficult |
| M:12.1 | The answer to this question is “one.” One wholly perfect | teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This One, sanctified and |
| M:12.4 | From this understanding will come the recognition in this new | teacher of God of what the body's purpose really is; the only use |
| M:12.5 | decisions which are responsible for the body's condition. Yet the | teacher of God does not make this decision alone. To do that would be |
| M:13.6 | means. It always means the giving up of what you want. And what, oh | teacher of God, is it that you want? You have been called by God, and |
| M:13.8 | Teacher of God, do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember | |
| M:14.3 | all of them. The illusion of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the | teacher of God must learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin |
| M:14.3 | learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin perfectly forgiven by one | teacher of God can make salvation complete. Can you understand this? |
| M:14.4 | and go beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of the | teacher of God in this concluding lesson? He need merely learn how to |
| M:14.4 | he can learn it. He does not judge it either as hard or easy. His | Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will show him how to |
| M:15.3 | Is this your judgment on yourself, | teacher of God? Do you believe that this is wholly true? No, not yet, |
| M:15.3 | thus delay this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on the world, | teacher of God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the |
| M:16.1 | To the advanced | teacher of God, this question is meaningless. There is no program, |
| M:16.1 | set, and one which can be met that very day. For the advanced | teacher of God, then, this question is superfluous. It has been asked |
| M:16.3 | save time. How much time should be so spent? This must depend on the | teacher of God himself. He cannot claim that title until he has gone |
| M:16.4 | This course is always practical. It may be that the | teacher of God is not in a situation which fosters quiet thought as |
| M:16.7 | How simply and how easily does the day slip by for the | teacher of God who has accepted His protection! All that he did |
| M:16.8 | Yet there will be temptations along the way the | teacher of God has yet to travel, and he has need of reminding |
| M:16.8 | substitute for true assistance. It is not good enough for God's | teacher, because it is not enough for God's Son. |
| M:16.9 | nor fearful. When all magic is recognized as merely nothing, the | teacher of God has reached the most advanced state. All intermediate |
| M:16.10 | the Will of God. In simple statement, it is to this fact that the | teacher of God devotes his day. Each substitute he may accept as real |
| M:17.1 | This is a crucial question both for | teacher and pupil. If this issue is mishandled, the teacher has hurt |
| M:17.1 | both for teacher and pupil. If this issue is mishandled, the | teacher has hurt himself and has also attacked his pupil. This |
| M:17.1 | of them. How to deal with magic thus becomes a major lesson for the | teacher of God to master. His first responsibility in this is not to |
| M:17.1 | to attack it. If a magic thought arouses anger in any form, God's | teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own belief in sin |
| M:17.2 | it be forgotten that the outcome that results will always come to | teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been emphasized that you |
| M:17.2 | And where could this be better shown than in the kinds of help the | teacher gives to those who need his aid? Here is his gift most |
| M:17.3 | results. A lesson truly taught can lead to nothing but release for | teacher and pupil who have shared in one intent. Attack can enter |
| M:17.3 | the case if the result is anything but joy. The single aim of the | teacher turns the divided goal of the pupil into one direction, with |
| M:17.9 | nothing. Can nothing give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember then, | teacher of God, that anger recognizes a reality that is not there, |
| M:18.1 | nature—and only this is true correction—cannot be made until the | teacher of God has ceased to confuse interpretation with fact or |
| M:18.5 | In order to heal, it thus becomes essential for the | teacher of God to let all his own mistakes be corrected. If he senses |
| M:18.5 | is his pupil healed with him. The sole responsibility of God's | teacher is to accept the Atonement for himself. Atonement means |
| M:18.5 | or the undoing of errors. When this has been accomplished, the | teacher of God becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have |
| M:21.4 | Is the | teacher of God then to avoid the use of words in his teaching? No, |
| M:21.4 | reached through words, being as yet unable to hear in silence. The | teacher of God must, however, learn to use words in a new way. |
| M:21.4 | the workbook lesson “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” The | teacher of God accepts the words which are offered him and gives as |
| M:21.5 | A major hindrance in this aspect of his learning is the | teacher of God's fear about the validity of what he hears. And what |
| M:22.1 | and every miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. The | teacher of God has taken accepting the Atonement for himself as his |
| M:22.2 | The progress of the | teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on whether he |
| M:22.2 | to all situations. This, however, is comparatively rare. The | teacher of God may have accepted the function God has given him long |
| M:22.3 | That forgiveness is healing needs to be understood if the | teacher of God is to make progress. The idea that a body can be sick |
| M:22.4 | himself and of all others as well. Nor is it at this level that the | teacher of God calls forth the miracle of healing. He overlooks the |
| M:22.4 | all perception. Healing is the result of the recognition by God's | teacher of Who it is that is in need of healing. This recognition has |
| M:22.5 | When a | teacher of God fails to heal, it is because he has forgotten Who he |
| M:22.5 | mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step back now, | teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you have |
| M:22.5 | wrong. Lead not the way, for you have lost it. Turn quickly to your | Teacher, and let yourself be healed. |
| M:22.7 | are equally meaningless. Yet this will not be understood until God's | teacher recognizes that they are the same mistake. Herein does he |

| M:23.6 | we have laid on us. No one who has become a true and dedicated | teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet what he can offer them is |
| M:24.3 | would not be helpful to take any definite stand on reincarnation. A | teacher of God should be as helpful to those who believe in it as to |
| M:24.4 | Until then they are likely to be merely controversial. The | teacher of God is therefore wise to step away from all such |
| M:24.5 | Does this mean that the | teacher of God should not believe in reincarnation himself or discuss |
| M:24.5 | be a mistake for him to renounce the belief unless his Internal | Teacher so advised. And this is most unlikely. He might be advised |
| M:26.3 | Sometimes a | teacher of God may have a brief experience of direct union with God. |
| M:27.7 | Teacher of God, your one assignment could be stated thus: accept no | |
| M:29.1 | This manual is not intended to answer all questions that both | teacher and pupil may raise. In fact, it covers only a few of the |
| M:29.1 | a manual for teachers, it must be remembered that only time divides | teacher and pupil, so that the difference is temporary by definition. |
| M:29.2 | No one should attempt to answer these questions alone. Surely no | teacher of God has come this far without realizing that. The |
| M:29.2 | decisions about which you understand so little? Be glad you have a | Teacher Who cannot make a mistake. His answers are always right. |
| M:29.4 | and the teaching of the world which was made to uphold it. But the | Teacher Who knows the truth has not forgotten it. His decisions bring |
| M:29.7 | And He has given you the means to prove it so. Ask all things of His | Teacher, and all things are given you. Not in the future but |
| M:29.8 | doings be you blessed. God turns to you for help to save the world. | Teacher of God, His thanks He offers you, and all the world stands |

| Tx:4.13 | This is the opposite of the ego-oriented | teacher's goal. He is concerned with the effect of his ego on other |

| Tx:3.21 | this commandment (or assignment) also applies to themselves. Good | teachers never terrorize their students. To terrorize is to attack, |

| Tx:4.21 | lesson together, so we can be free of them together. I need devoted | teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul is far beyond |

| Tx:6.59 | what you need to learn to have joy. This is true even of the world's | teachers. Consider the confusion a child would experience if he were |
| Tx:6.71 | if a lie is at its center, only deception proceeds from it. All good | teachers realize that only fundamental change will last, but they do |
| Tx:7.40 | what you do not believe. To do this, however, will weaken you as | teachers and learners because, as has been repeatedly emphasized, you |

| Tx:8.6 | ideas, it cannot be integrated. If it is carried out by these two | teachers simultaneously, each one merely interferes with the other. |

| M:I.5 | Except for God's | teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the world of sin |

| M:1.2 | Call is universal. It goes on all the time everywhere. It calls for | teachers to speak for it and redeem the world. Many hear it, but few |
| M:1.2 | be a long, long way off. It is because of this that the plan of the | teachers was established. Their function is to save time. Each one |
| M:1.4 | This is a manual for a special curriculum, intended for | teachers of a special form of the universal course. There are many |
| M:1.4 | all things in it. Yet time has an ending, and it is this that the | teachers of God are appointed to bring about. For time is in their |

| M:4.1 | The surface traits of God's | teachers are not at all alike. They do not look alike to the body's |
| M:4.1 | quite distinct. Nor at the beginning stages of their functioning as | teachers of God have they as yet acquired the deeper characteristics |
| M:4.1 | will establish them as what they are. God gives special gifts to His | teachers because they have a special role in His plan for Atonement. |
| M:4.1 | teaching-learning situation is geared, become characteristic of all | teachers of God who have advanced in their own learning. In this |
| M:4.2 | temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be said that the advanced | teachers of God have the following characteristics: |
| M:4.3 | is learning, because cause and effect are never separated. The | teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it |
| M:4.3 | Power that keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the | teachers of God look on a forgiven world. |
| M:4.7 | The third stage through which the | teachers of God must go can be called a “period of relinquishment.” |
| M:4.7 | as giving up the desirable, it will engender enormous conflict. Few | teachers of God escape this distress entirely. There is, however, no |
| M:4.11 | All other traits of God's | teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved, the others |
| M:4.12 | The peace of mind which the advanced | teachers of God experience is largely due to their perfect honesty. |
| M:4.12 | of God. Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which God's | teachers rest secure makes doubt impossible. Therefore they can only |
| M:4.13 | God's | teachers do not judge. To judge is to be dishonest, for to judge is |
| M:4.14 | Harm is impossible for God's | teachers. They can neither harm nor be harmed. Harm is the outcome of |
| M:4.15 | Therefore God's | teachers are wholly gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for |
| M:4.15 | and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of God's | teachers lies in their gentleness, for they have understood their |
| M:4.16 | Joy goes with gentleness as surely as grief attends attack. God's | teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes before |
| M:4.17 | God's | teachers have learned how to be simple. They have no dreams that need |
| M:4.18 | and learned very carefully. Like all the other attributes of God's | teachers, this one rests ultimately on trust, for without trust, no |
| M:4.18 | generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To the | teachers of God, it means “giving away” in order to keep. This has |
| M:4.18 | at the simplest of levels, the word means the exact opposite to the | teachers of God and to the world. |
| M:4.22 | Faithfulness, then, combines in itself the other attributes of God's | teachers. It implies acceptance of the word of God and His definition |
| M:4.25 | You may have noticed that the list of attributes of God's | teachers does not include those things which are the Son of God's |
| M:4.25 | properly belongs on the curriculum. It is the function of God's | teachers to bring true learning to the world. Properly speaking it is |
| M:4.25 | bring, for that is “true learning” in the world. It is given to the | teachers of God to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to |

| M:5.9 | To them God's | teachers come to represent another choice which they had forgotten. |
| M:5.9 | what the patient has accepted is true. As God's messengers, His | teachers are the symbols of salvation. They ask the patient for |
| M:5.10 | Not once do the advanced | teachers of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother |
| M:5.10 | union of the One will with itself. And this is the function of God's | teachers—to see no will as separate from their own, nor theirs as |
| M:6.3 | It is not the function of God's | teachers to evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely their |
| M:7.4 | to doubt its result. This is the certainty that gives God's | teachers the power to be miracle workers, for they have put their |
| M:9.1 | Changes are required in the minds of God's | teachers. This may or may not involve changes in the external |
| M:12.2 | longer be feared, for the mind sees no cause for punishment. God's | teachers appear to be many, for that is the world's need. Yet being |
| M:12.3 | truth can come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's | teachers need a body, for their unity could not be recognized |
| M:12.4 | Yet what makes them God's | teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the body. As |
| M:12.4 | thought of unity come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The | teachers of God appear to share the illusion of separation, but |
| M:12.6 | Oneness and sickness cannot co-exist. God's | teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice. |
| M:12.6 | what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God's | teachers. They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and change, |
| M:12.6 | Unity alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this God's | teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeing and yet |
| M:13.4 | God's | teachers can have no regret on giving up the pleasures of the world. |
| M:13.8 | and it is yours. God holds out His Word to you, for He has need of | teachers. What other way is there to save His Son? |
| M:14.2 | He brings the ending of the world with Him. It is His Call God's | teachers answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The |
| M:14.3 | goal indeed. But time stands still and waits on the goals of God's | teachers. Not one thought of sin will remain the instant any one of |
| M:14.5 | end as it began. To turn hell into Heaven is the function of God's | teachers, for what they teach are lessons in which Heaven is |
| M:16.11 | world would gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is God's | teachers who must teach it that it can. And so it is their function |
| M:16.11 | is only this that leads to pain. “There is no will but God's.” His | teachers know that this is so and have learned that everything but |
| M:16.11 | every day and hour, and even every minute and second, must God's | teachers learn to recognize the forms of magic and perceive their |
| M:17.8 | Into this hopeless situation God sends His | teachers. They bring the light of hope from God Himself. There is a |
| M:21.5 | offer them in confidence. They are far wiser than your own. God's | teachers have God's Word behind their symbols. And He Himself gives |
| M:22.7 | power to forgive? This is insanity indeed. It is not up to God's | teachers to set limits upon Him, because it is not up to them to |
| M:23.1 | can rarely be received directly. Even the most advanced of God's | teachers will give way to temptation in this world. Would it be fair |
| M:23.7 | reached you in a language you can love and understand. Are other | teachers possible to lead the way to those who speak in different |
| M:24.6 | time. No teaching that does not lead to this is of concern to God's | teachers. All beliefs will point to this if properly interpreted. In |
| M:26.1 | In how many is this the case? Here then is the role of God's | teachers. They too have not attained the necessary understanding as |
| M:26.2 | remembering their own Identity perfectly. These might be called the | teachers of teachers, because, although they are no longer visible, |
| M:26.2 | their own Identity perfectly. These might be called the teachers of | teachers, because, although they are no longer visible, their image |
| M:26.2 | this is understood. And meanwhile they give all their gifts to the | teachers of God who look to them for help, asking all things in their |
| M:27.4 | and will attempt a thousand more. Not one can be acceptable to God's | teachers because not one could be acceptable to God. He did not make |
| M:28.6 | remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of hell is real. God's | teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those asleep and |
| M:29.1 | for either, but merely a supplement. While it is called a manual for | teachers, it must be remembered that only time divides teacher and |

| Tx:3.14 | because you were bad. The wholly benign lesson the Atonement | teaches is lost if it is tainted with this kind of distortion in any |
| Tx:5.30 | this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose will is for God always. He | teaches you how to keep me as the model for your thought and to |
| Tx:6.2 | extreme example is a particularly helpful learning device. Everyone | teaches and teaches all the time. This is a responsibility which he |

| Tx:6.57 | good teacher, the Holy Spirit does know more than you do now, but He | teaches only to make you equal with Him. This is because you had |
| Tx:6.59 | A wise teacher | teaches through approach, not avoidance. He does not emphasize what |
| Tx:6.76 | 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 cannot |
| Tx:6.82 | mind, and your mind only, He sorts out the true from the false and | teaches you to judge every thought that you allow to enter your mind |
| Tx:6.87 | that you can be as vigilant against the ego as for it. This lesson | teaches not only that you can be, but that you must be. It does not |
| Tx:6.87 | cut priority for vigilance. This step is unequivocal in that it | teaches there must be no exceptions, although it does not deny that |
| Tx:6.94 | to heal it. Once your mind is healed, it radiates health and thereby | teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches like |
| Tx:6.94 | and thereby teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who | teaches like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of you, but |
| Tx:7.17 | the Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He | teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting aspect is only |
| Tx:7.22 | 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 of |
| Tx:7.24 | no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy Spirit | teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in all |
| Tx:7.24 | all results. By teaching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He | teaches you that all power is yours. Its application does not matter. |
| Tx:7.26 | experiencing yourself as unreal. This is why the ego is insane; it | teaches that you are not what you are. This is so contradictory that |
| Tx:7.77 | worthy to teach another. One Teacher is in all your minds, and He | teaches the same lesson to all. He always teaches you the inestimable |
| Tx:7.77 | in all your minds, and He teaches the same lesson to all. He always | teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of God, teaching it |
| Tx:8.6 | other, even if the other does not exist. Their conflicted curriculum | teaches them all directions exist and gives them no rationale for |
| Tx:8.9 | a teacher such as this? Does the total disregard of anything it | teaches make anything but sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of |
| Tx:8.10 | God who coerces you because He shares His Will with you. His Voice | teaches only His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson |
| Tx:8.12 | We said before that the Holy Spirit | teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is the same as |
| Tx:8.12 | difference between pain and joy. That is the same as saying that He | teaches you the difference between imprisonment and freedom. You |
| Tx:8.20 | 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 | glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from them. The ego | teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy Spirit teaches |
| Tx:8.23 | 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 wills |
| Tx:8.69 | the ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it | teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it |
| Tx:8.79 | The Holy Spirit | teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can |
| Tx:9.14 | canceling out all its effects everywhere and in all respects, He | teaches that the ego does not exist and proves it. Follow His |
| Tx:9.35 | 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 learn |
| Tx:9.77 | God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part of God | teaches him the truth about himself, which he is denying. Would you |
| Tx:10.17 | which you accept, either from your brother or in your own mind, | teaches you that you are God's Son. In every hurtful thought you |

| Tx:10.74 | course. Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the end, | teaches nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But |
| Tx:11.37 | ego undertakes is therefore bound to be defeated. And since it also | teaches that it is your identification, its guidance leads you to a |
| Tx:11.53 | 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 the |
| Tx:11.88 | condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for it | teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation. |
| Tx:11.97 | Accepting the Atonement | teaches you what immortality is, for by accepting your guiltlessness, |
| Tx:11.99 | The ego | teaches you to attack yourself because you are guilty, and this must |

| Tx:12.29 | meet yourself and the encounter is holy because you are. The ego | teaches that you always encounter your past, and because your dreams |

| Tx:13.47 | away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit | teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and only |
| Tx:13.57 | golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy Spirit sees and | teaches simply that all this is not true. To these unhappy learners |

| Tx:13.69 | The miracle | teaches you that you have chosen guiltlessness, freedom, and joy. It |
| 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 teach it, |
| Tx:13.79 | no one in this world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's Spirit | teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne of God |
| Tx:14.3 | mind which has denied it and thus denied Heaven to itself. Atonement | teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It does not teach |
| Tx:14.3 | your Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely | teaches you how to remove the blocks that stand between you and what |
| Tx:14.6 | each to share is always the same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one | teaches the message differently and learns it differently. Yet until |
| Tx:14.6 | the message differently and learns it differently. Yet until he | teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness |
| Tx:14.31 | cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has given you | teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that |
| Tx:14.50 | basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the Holy Spirit | teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your way of |
| Tx:14.60 | Atonement | teaches you how to escape forever from everything that you have |
| Tx:14.62 | not closed to take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who | teaches light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And |
| Tx:14.63 | will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson | teaches this in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with |
| Tx:14.63 | Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, | teaches you that you will with the Father unto His Son. |
| Tx:14.71 | Listen in silence, and do not raise your voice against Him. For He | teaches the miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division |
| Tx:15.4 | The ego | teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its teaching |
| Tx:15.5 | aims together so that they seem to be reconciled. The ego | teaches thus: Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet |
| Tx:15.6 | The ego | teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell. Even |
| Tx:15.8 | The Holy Spirit | teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made of |
| Tx:15.47 | more than others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy instant | teaches you it is not so. |
| Tx:16.27 | shares it with him. As you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who | teaches you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you |
| Tx:16.77 | always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy Spirit | teaches you is to remind you that you have received what God has |
| Tx:19.72 | relationship which it keeps hidden and yet feeds upon. To you it | teaches that the body's pleasure is happiness. Yet to itself it |

| Tx:4.14 | Your worth is not established by your | teaching or your learning. Your worth was established by God. As long |

| Tx:5.29 | Holy Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am | teaching you. When you are tempted by the wrong voice, call on me to |
| Tx:5.42 | Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego made, sees it only as a | teaching device for bringing you home. The Holy Spirit must perceive |

| Tx:6.4 | For | teaching purposes, let us consider the crucifixion again. We have not |
| Tx:6.4 | more than an extreme example. Its value, like the value of any | teaching device, lies solely in the kind of learning it facilitates. |
| Tx:6.7 | you believe that it does, you must be accepting false premises and | teaching them to others. The message which the crucifixion was |
| Tx:6.9 | so shall you learn.” If you react as if you are persecuted, you are | teaching persecution. This is not a lesson which the Sons of God |
| Tx:6.9 | You are not asked to be crucified, which was part of my own | teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow my example in |
| Tx:6.15 | true in a very extreme case merely because it would serve as a good | teaching aid to those whose temptations to give in to anger and |
| Tx:6.22 | I am very grateful to the Apostles for their | teaching and fully aware of the extent of their devotion to me. |
| Tx:6.39 | others. Hearing and being are examples, to which we can also add | teaching and being, learning and being and, above all, projecting and |
| Tx:6.41 | unified, because it is the only lesson which is one. Only by | teaching it can you learn it. “As you teach, so will you learn.” If |
| Tx:6.41 | and it is true indeed, you must never forget that what you teach is | teaching you. What you project you believe. |
| Tx:6.43 | Yet your learning is not immortal, and you can unlearn it by not | teaching it. Since you cannot not teach, your salvation lies in |
| Tx:6.43 | not teaching it. Since you cannot not teach, your salvation lies in | teaching the exact opposite of everything the ego believes. This is |
| Tx:6.44 | share, you must have. It awakens in you through the conviction of | teaching. Remember that, if teaching is being and learning is being, |
| Tx:6.44 | awakens in you through the conviction of teaching. Remember that, if | teaching is being and learning is being, [then] teaching is learning. |
| Tx:6.44 | Remember that, if teaching is being and learning is being, [then] | teaching is learning. Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach |
| Tx:6.56 | imply a lack, which God knows is not there. God is not conflicted. | Teaching aims at change, but God created only the changeless. The |
| Tx:6.66 | takes anything back, because He wants you to keep it. Therefore, His | teaching begins with the lesson: |
| Tx:6.75 | both, which you will surely do as long as you accept both, you are | teaching conflict and learning it. Yet you do want peace, or you |
| Tx:6.88 | and are holding the belief that you can choose either one. By | teaching what to choose, the Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to |
| Tx:6.89 | Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is whole, you are | teaching peace because you believe in it. The final step will still |
| Tx:7.14 | inside it is adapted to “what you project you believe.” This is its | teaching form, since outside the Kingdom teaching is mandatory, |

| Tx:7.14 | others and therefore believe they are. In the Kingdom there is no | teaching or learning, because there is no belief. There is only |
| Tx:7.24 | Being conflict-free, He maximizes all efforts and all results. By | teaching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you that |
| Tx:7.26 | really learn, and therefore cannot really teach. Yet you are always | teaching. You must therefore be teaching something else as well, even |
| Tx:7.26 | really teach. Yet you are always teaching. You must therefore be | teaching something else as well, even though the ego does not know |
| Tx:7.40 | Yet we have learned that behavior is not the level for either | teaching or learning. This must be so, since you can act in |

| Tx:7.47 | them and is not receiving something equally desirable in return. His | teaching is limited, because he is learning so little. His healing |
| Tx:7.68 | of will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent | teaching. |
| Tx:7.77 | He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of God, | teaching it with infinite patience born of the [love of Him for whom] |
| Tx:8.7 | joint curriculum presents an impossible learning task. They are | teaching you entirely different things in entirely different ways, |
| Tx:8.7 | which might be possible except for the crucial fact that both are | teaching you about yourself. Your reality is unaffected by both, but |
| Tx:8.9 | Simply on the grounds of your own experience with the ego's | teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher? |
| Tx:8.11 | The Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, | teaching you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would |
| Tx:8.13 | The Holy Spirit's | teaching takes only one direction and has only one goal. His |
| Tx:8.17 | not. That is why you need Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His | teaching will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power |
| Tx:8.21 | are with a brother, you are learning what you are because you are | teaching what you are. He will respond either with pain or with joy, |
| Tx:8.32 | your mind. I can teach you, but only you can choose to listen to my | teaching. How else can it be, if God's Kingdom is freedom? Freedom |
| Tx:8.84 | that one form of sickness is more serious than another, He would be | teaching that one error can be more real than another. His function |
| Tx:8.93 | then, His perception of your mind brings its reality to you, He is | teaching you what you are. |
| Tx:9.14 | He teaches that the ego does not exist and proves it. Follow His | teaching in forgiveness then, because forgiveness is His function, |
| Tx:9.24 | real has happened to the unhealed healer, and he learns from his own | teaching. |
| Tx:9.71 | When you attack, you are denying yourself. You are specifically | teaching yourself that you are not what you are. Your denial of |
| Tx:10.50 | the impossible and the false from the true. According to the ego's | teaching, its goal can be accomplished, and God's purpose can not. |
| Tx:10.50 | and God's purpose can not. According to the Holy Spirit's | teaching, only God's purpose is accomplishment, and it is already |
| Tx:11.36 | is certain that love is dangerous, and this is always its central | teaching. It never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who |
| Tx:11.38 | love calls forth the responses which the ego can teach. Follow its | teaching, then, and you will search for love but will not recognize |
| Tx:11.46 | content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor learners need special | teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal sense. |
| Tx:11.49 | The result of this curriculum goal is obvious. Every legitimate | teaching aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to |
| Tx:11.49 | If you are trying to learn how not to learn and are using the aim of | teaching to defeat itself, what can you expect but confusion? The |
| Tx:11.75 | 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 to the |
| Tx:11.89 | teachers, whose ultimate aim is to make themselves unnecessary by | teaching their pupils all they know. The Holy Spirit wills only this, |
| Tx:11.99 | increase the guilt, for guilt is the result of attack. In the ego's | teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack makes guilt |
| Tx:12.30 | does He regard the function of time as temporary, serving only His | teaching function, which is temporary by definition. His emphasis is |
| Tx:13.8 | Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under the holy banner of His | teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will |
| Tx:13.40 | need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary | teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek. |
| Tx:13.53 | The Holy Spirit, therefore, must begin His | teaching by showing you what you can never learn. His message is not |
| Tx:13.56 | are elsewhere, begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental | teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever |
| Tx:13.72 | imposing on himself the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy | teaching the Holy Spirit would gladly offer him. |
| Tx:14.9 | freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need | teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to |
| Tx:14.9 | to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of | teaching is to fail to learn from them. |
| Tx:14.10 | from guilt to the eternal glory of God and His creation. And every | teaching that points to this points straight to Heaven and to the |
| Tx:14.10 | and to the peace of God. There is no pain, no trial, no fear that | teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of God Himself supports |
| Tx:14.10 | this can fail to overcome. The power of God Himself supports this | teaching and guarantees its limitless results. |
| Tx:14.11 | cannot 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 |
| Tx:14.13 | but join with me within. Fail not the only purpose to which my | teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him by |
| Tx:14.13 | my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him by | teaching him his innocence. |
| Tx:14.70 | what He has made in place of you. He would establish His bright | teaching so firmly in your mind that no dark lessons of guilt can |
| Tx:15.1 | that and nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied with His | teaching until it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled |
| Tx:15.1 | until it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled His | teaching function until you have become such a consistent learner |
| Tx:15.2 | 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 Spirit |
| Tx:15.2 | time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is His friend in | teaching. It does not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste |
| Tx:15.2 | time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal and end of | teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the |
| Tx:15.4 | The ego teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its | teaching is directed to. Hell is its goal, for although the ego aims |
| Tx:15.4 | craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who follows the ego's | teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were thought of |
| Tx:15.8 | from fear in the ego's use of time. For time, according to its | teaching, is nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt |
| Tx:15.8 | use of time. For time, according to its teaching, is nothing but a | teaching device for compounding guilt until it becomes |
| Tx:15.10 | what you are. Begin to practice the Holy Spirit's use of time as a | teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very instant, now, and |
| Tx:15.17 | God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His | teaching is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand |
| Tx:15.45 | The holy instant is the Holy Spirit's most useful learning device for | teaching you love's meaning. For its purpose is to suspend judgment |
| Tx:15.48 | the ego, as a learning experience which points to truth. Under His | teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in love. |
| Tx:15.56 | of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's | teaching, all relationships are seen as total commitments, yet they |
| Tx:15.77 | as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's | teaching function to instruct those who believe that communication is |
| Tx:15.79 | Teacher until the holy instant has extended far beyond time. For a | teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything in this world |
| Tx:15.84 | it must be possible because it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose | teaching is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships. |
| Tx:15.107 | The Prince of Peace was born to reestablish the condition of love by | teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the body is |
| Tx:16.14 | have perfect faith in the Holy Spirit and in the effects of His | teaching if you were not afraid to acknowledge what He taught you. |
| Tx:16.21 | well, and yet you have not learned how to accept the comfort of your | teaching. If you will consider what you have taught and how alien it |
| Tx:16.22 | For it is certain that you judge yourself according to your | teaching. The ego's teaching produces immediate results because its |
| Tx:16.22 | that you judge yourself according to your teaching. The ego's | teaching produces immediate results because its decisions are |
| Tx:16.25 | Your | teaching has already done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you. |
| Tx:16.25 | and gratitude to you for their creation they offer gladly to your | teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who are host to God are |
| Tx:16.26 | off in the universe, yet not beyond yourself, the witnesses to your | teaching have gathered to help you learn. Their gratitude has joined |
| Tx:16.26 | taught. For what you taught is true. Alone you stand outside your | teaching and apart from it. But with them you must learn that you but |
| Tx:16.27 | This year you will begin to learn and make learning commensurate with | teaching. You have chosen this by your own willingness to teach. |
| Tx:16.27 | willingness to teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of | teaching will yet be yours. For the joy of teaching is in the |
| Tx:16.27 | suffer for it, the joy of teaching will yet be yours. For the joy of | teaching is in the learner, who offers it to the teacher in gratitude |
| Tx:17.7 | see this for you until you learn to see it for yourself. And all His | teaching leads to seeing it and giving thanks with Him. |
| Tx:17.44 | transformed and seen anew. The holy relationship is a phenomenal | teaching accomplishment. In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, |
| Tx:18.41 | meaning. The holy instant, your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's | teaching, and all the means by which salvation is accomplished would |
| Tx:19.67 | what I have not done. So will you learn the freedom that I taught by | teaching freedom to each other and so releasing me. I am within your |
| Tx:20.65 | you taught yourself; vision is learned from Him Who would undo your | teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot look on |
| Tx:26.30 | 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 purpose, |
| Tx:29.16 | made to teach opposing things. And they reflect the teacher who is | teaching them. The body can appear to change with time, with sickness |
| Tx:31.39 | impossible to learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a simple | teaching in the obvious. |
| Tx:31.50 | which the world directs begun and ended with the single aim of | teaching you this concept of yourself, that you will choose to follow |

| W1:133.1 | Sometimes in | teaching there is benefit, particularly after you have gone through |
| W1:138.5 | goals we seek to teach within the framework of this course. Ours are | teaching goals to be attained through learning how to reach them, |

| Tx:10.25 | you what this will be like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can | tell you and remind you often that what God wills for Himself He |
| Tx:10.71 | be partly true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot | tell which is true. To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to |
| Tx:10.89 | dragons. Ask of their reality from the One who knows it, and He will | tell you what they are. For you do not understand them, and because |
| Tx:11.5 | It is surely good advice to | tell you not to judge what you do not understand. No one with a |
| Tx:11.25 | think you do not want to do. The very fact of his insistence should | tell you that he believes salvation lies in it. If you insist on |
| Tx:12.58 | Sit quietly and look upon the world you see, and | tell yourself, |
| Tx:13.83 | are in doubt what you should do, think of His Presence in you and | tell yourself this and only this: |
| Tx:13.92 | in answering your every question what to do. He knows. And He will | tell you and then do it for you. You who are tired might consider |
| Tx:15.89 | If you would but let the Holy Spirit | tell you of the love of God for you and the need your creations have |
| Tx:20.21 | is beautiful because they see their innocence in it. They did not | tell it what it was; they did not make adjustments to fit their |
| Tx:21.22 | set up your idols to something else. This other will, which seems to | tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And what would show you |
| Tx:21.26 | has any influence over you. And if you think what you have made can | tell you what you see and feel and place your faith in its ability to |
| Tx:21.53 | arose and was fulfilled in the same instant. Such would your reason | tell you if you listened. Yet such is clearly not the ego's |
| Tx:21.58 | the question which the ego will never ask. Does not your reason | tell you now the question must have come from something that you do |
| Tx:21.59 | It does not value them, but their correction. Reason will also | tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will |
| Tx:21.62 | their will. For they believe they see the body and let their madness | tell them it is real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you |
| Tx:21.63 | how can what enters part be kept away from other parts? Reason would | tell you this. But think what you must recognize if it be so. |
| Tx:21.64 | you would condemn the Son of God to what can never be corrected. You | tell him by your choice that he is damned—separate from you and |
| Tx:21.64 | it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? Reason will | tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother nor |
| Tx:21.68 | And as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him, reason will | tell you that it cannot be you stand apart from blessing. The |
| Tx:21.68 | your Father gives you for completing Him. And here alone does reason | tell you that you can understand what you must be. Your Father is as |
| Tx:21.74 | understand, he will but emphasize his helplessness and let sin | tell him that his enemy must be himself. But let him only ask himself |
| Tx:21.78 | last question you have left unanswered still. And let your reason | tell you that it must be answered and is answered in the other three. |
| Tx:21.81 | Why is the final question so important? Reason will | tell you why. It is the same as are the other three except in time. |
| Tx:21.88 | Reason will | tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what |
| Tx:22.6 | which it does accurately describe, you think is you. Reason would | tell you that the world you see through eyes which are not yours must |
| Tx:22.7 | nor to suspect that what it tells you is not true. Reason would | tell you it cannot be true because you do not understand it. God has |
| Tx:22.7 | secrets. He does not lead you through a world of misery, waiting to | tell you at the journey's end why He did this to you. |
| Tx:22.8 | except another will that is your own, apart from His? Reason would | tell you that this is no secret that need be hidden as a sin. But a |
| Tx:22.13 | not do through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason will | tell you that they must have seen each other through a vision not of |
| Tx:22.13 | his Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his reason | tell him; such he believed because it was the truth. |
| Tx:22.19 | Reason will | tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to recognize it |
| Tx:22.20 | Both reason and the ego will | tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego will |
| Tx:22.22 | will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will | tell you that there is no middle ground where you can pause |
| Tx:22.33 | Reason will | tell you that the form of error is not what makes it a mistake. If |
| Tx:22.35 | It could not be reality, because it can be changed. Reason will | tell you that, if form is not reality, it must be an illusion and is |
| Tx:22.45 | or anger nor by opposing them in any way. Merely by letting reason | tell you that they contradict reality. They go against what must be |
| Tx:22.48 | succeed? Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks that | tell of its omnipotence and would drown out the hymn of praise to its |
| Tx:23.24 | 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 word for |
| Tx:24.1 | in which God is remembered is attained. It is not necessary to | tell Him what to do. He will not fail. Where He can enter, there He |
| Tx:27.39 | would want the most of all? It is your servant and your friend. But | tell it what you want, and it will serve you lovingly and well.” And |
| Tx:27.56 | your hopes. You use its eyes to see, its ears to hear, and let it | tell you what it is it feels. It does not know. It tells you but the |
| Tx:27.57 | nothing could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor could it | tell a part of God Himself what it should feel and what its function |
| Tx:28.38 | real and what is but illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot | tell apart. |
| Tx:28.54 | of pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not | tell you what its purpose is and cannot understand what it is for. It |
| Tx:29.33 | abides in you. Be very still and hear God's Voice in him and let It | tell you what his function is. He was created that you might be |
| Tx:30.2 | Do not fight yourself. But think about the kind of day you want and | tell yourself there is a way in which this very day can happen just |
| Tx:30.7 | at any time you think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, | tell yourself again the kind of day you want, the feelings you would |
| Tx:30.29 | Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose will join with you and | tell you what to do. |
| Tx:31.1 | no differences in false and true. You have been told exactly how to | tell one from the other and just what to do if you become confused. |
| Tx:31.61 | Yet in this learning is salvation born. And what you are will | tell you of Itself. |
| W1:16.5 | then as each one crosses your mind, hold it in awareness while you | tell yourself: |
| W1:20.2 | pleasure and pain, love and fear. You are now learning how to | tell them apart. And great indeed will be your reward. |
| W1:21.4 | which attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and | tell yourself: |
| W1:26.13 | After you have named each outcome of which you are afraid, | tell yourself: |
| W1:34.7 | idea until you feel some sense of relief. It will help you if you | tell yourself specifically: |
| W1:43.12 | day. When you are with someone else, for example, try to remember to | tell him silently, |
| W1:45.4 | the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world | tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. |
| W1:45.6 | some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and | tell yourself gently: |
| W1:46.6 | have applied the idea for today to all those who have come to mind, | tell yourself, |
| W1:46.13 | kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or not. In this event, | tell him silently, |
| W1:50.3 | all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. | Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from |
| W1:53.6 | made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts which | tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in |
| W1:65.8 | before, but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this. Then | tell yourself: |
| W1:68.9 | nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period | tell yourself: |
| W1:69.11 | Also, be sure to | tell yourself: |
| W1:70.10 | which you sought to make real. Recognize that it was not there. | Tell yourself: |
| W1:71.12 | Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice period, and let Him | tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. |
| W1:71.13 | In the shorter practice periods | tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will |
| W1:72.12 | What is salvation, Father? I do not know. | Tell me, that I may understand. |
| W1:72.16 | What is salvation, Father? I do not know. | Tell me, that I may understand. |
| W1:73.12 | yourself of this and determining to keep your will clearly in mind, | tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty: |
| W1:74.7 | to deal quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your mind. | Tell yourself immediately: |
| W1:74.9 | person or persons and the situation or situations involved, and | tell yourself: |
| W1:75.10 | Tell Him you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him. Tell | |
| W1:75.10 | Tell Him you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him. | Tell yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the world He |
| W1:76.11 | upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will | tell you more. About the love your Father has for you. About the |
| W1:76.12 | listened and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we will | tell ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period |
| W1:77.7 | be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. | Tell yourself often today: |
| W1:77.10 | not to be satisfied with less than the perfect answer. Be quick to | tell yourself, should you be tempted: |
| W1:79.10 | the form of problems today. Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, | tell yourself quickly: |
| W1:93.15 | thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, | tell him silently: |
| W1:94.9 | Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. And | |
| W1:95.14 | Then close your eyes and | tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the |
| W1:95.20 | you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's idea and | tell him this: |
| 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 |
| W1:96.17 | Each time today you | tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One Self, you lay |
| W1:97.11 | every time you speak the words He offers you today, and let Him | tell your mind that they are true. |
| W1:98.13 | thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. | Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He would have you |
| W1:100.11 | Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every time you | tell yourself you are essential to God's plan for the salvation of |
| W1:101.10 | the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin. Remember this today, and | tell yourself as often as you can: |
| W1:102.7 | Besides these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently today to | tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one |
| W1:105.7 | claim them as your own. Think of your “enemies” a little while, and | tell each one as he occurs to you: |
| W1:105.10 | and joy be lifted up, and what is yours can come to you at last. So | tell yourself “God's peace and joy are mine,” and close your eyes a |
| W1:106.2 | and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead which | tell you they have found the source of life and offer it to you for |
| W1:107.11 | Truth will correct all errors in your mind which | tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him today and make |
| W1:107.15 | Do not forget your function for today. Each time you | tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all errors in my |
| W1:109.11 | they rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time we | tell ourselves, |
| W1:120.3 | Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father | tell me Who I really am. |
| W1:121.13 | to every unforgiving mind, with yours among them. Every hour | tell yourself: |
| W1:125.8 | Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him | tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never left your |
| W1:126.11 | your brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but | tell yourself: |
| W1:128.8 | an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind and | tell yourself with quiet certainty: |
| W1:133.9 | for what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not even | tell the truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo |
| W1:134.19 | this occurs, allow your mind to see through this illusion as you | tell yourself: |
| W1:136.21 | hurt you longer. Do not be confused about what must be healed, but | tell yourself: |
| W1:151.7 | He will not | tell you that your brother should be judged by what your eyes behold |
| W1:155.14 | that you think of Him a while each day that He may speak to you and | tell you of His Love, reminding you how great His trust, how |
| W1:186.7 | depends on 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? |
| W1:191.7 | Be glad today how very easily is hell undone. You need but | tell yourself: |
| W1:193.11 | How can you | tell when you are seeing wrong or someone else is failing to perceive |
| W2:236.1 | does not seem I am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me and | tell me what to think and what to do and feel. And yet it has been |
| W2:273.1 | let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but | tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is |
| W2:275.2 | things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will | tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what to say |
| M:7.2 | of God has only one course to follow. He must use his reason to | tell himself that he has given the problem to One Who cannot fail, |

| Tx:5.1 | and how many you have refused. This is exactly the same as | telling you that you have refused to heal yourselves. The light that |
| Tx:9.2 | the relinquishment of the ego. When you correct a brother, you are | telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no sense at the time, |
| Tx:9.5 | understand how all errors are undone. How is this different from | telling you that what you teach you learn? Your brother is as right |
| Tx:22.30 | and make way for their correction. For reason sees through errors, | telling you what you thought was real is not. Reason can see the |
| W1:28.3 | defining it in past terms. You are asking what it is, rather than | telling it what it is. You are not binding its meaning to your tiny |
| W1:32.6 | to any situation which may distress you. Apply the idea by | telling yourself: |
| W1:37.3 | the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by | telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in |
| W1:40.7 | If only a brief period is available, merely | telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do. |
| W1:47.3 | for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, | telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His |
| W1:47.4 | your life which you have invested with fear, dismissing each one by | telling yourself, |
| W1:61.5 | each one need not exceed a minute or two. They should begin with | telling yourself: |
| W1:64.11 | reviewing the thoughts and look slowly and unselectively about you, | telling yourself: |
| W1:65.6 | as little involvement or concern as possible, dismissing each one by | telling yourself: |
| W1:75.5 | lie across the world. Begin the longer practice periods by | telling yourself the glad tidings of your release: |

| Tx:4.48 | which begins with its own beginning and ends with its own ending. It | tells you this life is your existence because it is its own. Against |
| Tx:4.57 | and many times before, that you can change your mind. When your mood | tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so whenever you |
| Tx:6.34 | Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. He | tells you to return your whole mind to God, because it has never left |
| Tx:6.35 | can so easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit | tells you that even return is unnecessary because what never happened |
| Tx:6.63 | Spirit is the motivation for miracles. This is because He always | tells you that only the mind is real since only the mind can be |
| Tx:9.29 | direct and very simple learning situation, it provides the Guide who | tells you what to do. If you do it, you will see that it works. Its |
| Tx:10.12 | repeated that you do not know it. Whenever what the Holy Spirit | tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you do not |
| Tx:10.75 | the world is the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible | tells you to become as little children. Little children recognize |
| Tx:11.75 | as you feel guilty, you are listening to the voice of the ego, which | tells you that you have been treacherous to God and therefore deserve |
| Tx:12.39 | Yet He would release you from it and set you free. His sane answer | tells you that what you have offered yourself is not true, but His |
| Tx:12.69 | Everything that the ego | tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the ego urges you |
| Tx:13.18 | Do not be afraid to look within. The ego | tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids you not to |
| Tx:14.54 | the ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of union | tells them it is not true. |
| Tx:15.6 | temporarily as the only voice, it speaks of hell even to him. For it | tells him hell is here and bids him leap from hell into oblivion. The |
| Tx:19.73 | 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 you |
| Tx:21.42 | unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the ego | tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on |
| Tx:21.44 | moving inward, past insanity and on to reason. And what your reason | tells you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was |
| Tx:21.45 | something else. Think not that this is madness. For this your reason | tells you, and it follows perfectly from what you have already |
| Tx:21.60 | by you without your brother. Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason | tells you that you cannot see your brother or yourself as sinful and |
| Tx:21.60 | apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be separate. But reason | tells you that this must be wrong. If you are joined, how could it be |
| Tx:21.63 | its purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between what reason | tells you must be joined must be insane. Nor could you see it if you |
| Tx:21.65 | with you. You are responsible for how he sees himself. And reason | tells you it is given you to change his whole mind, which is one with |
| Tx:22.7 | sees, you have no reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it | tells you is not true. Reason would tell you it cannot be true |
| Tx:22.9 | You will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision | tells you, for everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And what your |
| Tx:22.21 | must be made. Faith and belief can fall to either side, but reason | tells you that misery lies only on one side and joy upon the other. |
| Tx:22.30 | between sin and mistakes because it wants correction. Therefore, it | tells you what you thought was uncorrectable can be corrected, and |
| Tx:25.5 | in you except you look on holiness and see Him there? Perception | tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you |
| Tx:25.5 | and above all, your death. And would you not despise the one who | tells you this and seek his death instead? The message and the |
| Tx:27.39 | serve you lovingly and well.” And this is not a question, for it | tells you what you want and where to go for it. It leaves no room to |
| Tx:27.42 | not if sacrifice is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer | tells “of whom,” it will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the |
| Tx:27.56 | hear, and let it tell you what it is it feels. It does not know. It | tells you but the names you gave it to use when you call forth the |
| Tx:27.77 | and be believed. It takes the central place in every dream, which | tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the |
| Tx:29.5 | your ability to make communion with each other's mind. And now it | tells you where to go and how to go there, what is feasible for you |
| Tx:29.60 | intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit speaks and | tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven can you |
| Tx:30.33 | understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He | tells you but your will; He speaks for you. In His divinity is but |
| W1:55.2 | 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 to see the |
| W1:61.3 | that you accept today's idea because it is God's Voice Which | tells you it is true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real |
| W1:67.8 | practice periods that this is not your tiny solitary voice that | tells you this. This is the Voice for God reminding you of your |
| W1:67.8 | Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing everything that the ego | tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. |
| W1:76.2 | forever seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for today | tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where it |
| W1:76.11 | Hear Him Who | tells you this, and realize how foolish are the laws you thought |
| W1:99.18 | Your only function | tells you you are one. Remind yourself of this between the times you |
| W1:110.8 | save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking for the Word that | tells him he is brother unto Him. |
| W1:132.6 | if you would understand the lesson for today. It is not pride which | tells you that you made the world you see and that it changes as you |
| W1:151.5 | This thing it speaks of and would yet defend it | tells you is yourself. And you believe that this is so with stubborn |
| W1:153.20 | undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment as He | tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will now begin to take the |
| W1:186.5 | their stance. Yet are the humble free to hear the Voice which | tells them what they are and what to do. |
| W1:186.12 | Let not its voice direct you. Hear instead a certain Voice Which | tells you of a function given you by your Creator, Who remembers you |
| W2:254.2 | And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and | tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him. |
| W2:275.1 | and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God | tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is |

| M:12.5 | God's Voice will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It | tells him what his function is. He does not suffer either in going or |
| M:14.4 | to go in its direction. He need merely trust that, if God's Voice | tells him it is a lesson he can learn, he can learn it. He does not |

| Tx:2.45 | Perceiving the body as a | temple is only the first step in correcting this kind of distortion. |
| Tx:2.45 | is not appropriate. However, the next step is to realize that a | temple is not a building at all. Its real holiness lies in the inner |
| Tx:2.45 | unwillingness to reach the altar itself. The real beauty of the | temple cannot be seen with the physical eye. The Spiritual eye, on |
| Tx:2.46 | must be undone. This is what is meant by “the restoration of the | temple.” It does not mean the restoration of the building but the |
| Tx:4.98 | not desecrate it or recoil from it. It is your real home, your real | temple, and your real Self. |
| Tx:4.104 | of its belief that nothing but a perfect body is worthy as its own | temple. |
| Tx:8.61 | can reach beyond its distortions and return to the Soul. The ego's | temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to |

| Tx:8.61 | replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense, the body does become a | temple to God, because His Voice abides in it by directing the use to |
| Tx:10.28 | let them enter the Mind of God's Son, for they have no place in His | temple. When you are tempted to deny Him, remember that there are no |
| Tx:10.29 | Only God's Comforter can comfort you. In the quiet of His | temple, He waits to give you the peace that is yours. Give His peace |
| Tx:10.29 | you the peace that is yours. Give His peace that you may enter the | temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of |
| Tx:10.29 | as His if you would know what belongs to you. Guard carefully His | temple, for He Himself dwells there and abides in peace. You cannot |
| Tx:10.30 | light your Father gave it. Then you will be worthy to dwell in the | temple with Him because it is your will not to be alone. God blessed |
| Tx:14.14 | is of God and therefore cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The | temple you restore becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through |

| Tx:14.40 | left His altar, though His worshiper placed other gods upon it. The | temple still is holy, for the Presence that dwells within it is |
| Tx:14.41 | In the | temple Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that love it. |

| Tx:3.76 | a particularly curious idea in view of the fact that no one uses the | term to refer to the physical father. It refers to an image of a |

| Tx:4.31 | less predatory. This “self esteem” is always vulnerable to stress, a | term which actually refers to a condition in which the delusion of |

| Tx:4.6 | Every symptom which the ego has made involves a contradiction in | terms. This is because the mind is split between the ego and the |
| Tx:4.31 | an attempt to convince itself that it is real. “Self esteem” in ego | terms means nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into |
| Tx:4.34 | which is greater than itself. This is why self-esteem in ego | terms must be a delusion. The creations of God do not create myths, |
| Tx:4.70 | this demented state is essential to the ego, which judges only in | terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In one sense the ego's fear |

| Tx:5.49 | it lacks the healing potential it holds. You made the distinction in | terms of feelings, which led to a decision not to repeat the error, |
| Tx:5.83 | frequently in the Bible and also in this course under many different | terms. For example, “God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is |
| Tx:6.4 | of punishment. Nothing, however, can be really explained in negative | terms only. There is a positive interpretation of the crucifixion |
| Tx:7.13 | with a description of the inevitable outcomes of the revelation in | terms of sharing. A person conceives of himself as separate largely |
| Tx:7.13 | himself as a mind can [he overcome this]. Then he is free to use | terms like “intramental” and “intermental” without seeing them as |
| Tx:7.19 | there is nothing on the table, it does not matter what was there in | terms of amount. The “nothing” is neither greater nor less because of |
| Tx:7.45 | they are made by fear. The “fearful healer” is a contradiction in | terms and is therefore a concept which only a conflicted mind could |
| Tx:8.3 | asked to dispel them alone. You are merely asked to evaluate them in | terms of their results to you. If you do not want them on the basis |
| Tx:8.48 | will” does not mean anything, [because it is] a contradiction in | terms which actually leaves nothing. [You can make yourself powerless |
| Tx:8.70 | The reason why definitions in | terms of function are inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. |
| Tx:9.1 | the Holy Spirit would have you maintain. Egos are critical in | terms of the kind of “sense” they stand for. They understand this |
| Tx:9.24 | It is noteworthy that this is a contradiction even in the ego's | terms, and one which it usually does note, even in its confusion. If |

| Tx:11.49 | ego's rule is, “Seek and do not find.” Translated into curricular | terms, this is the same as saying, “Try to learn but do not succeed.” |
| Tx:12.26 | it brings the past to the future by interpreting the present in past | terms. |
| Tx:13.12 | pain, for faith in it is pain. And faith can be rewarded only in | terms of the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the |

| Tx:16.34 | no conflict in the choice between truth and illusion. Seen in these | terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the instant the |
| Tx:17.32 | is but a system of delusions. You recognize, at least in general | terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the special relationship still |

| Tx:28.63 | No forms of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be made in | terms of form. The choice of sickness seems to be a form, yet it is |
| Tx:30.11 | asked a question by yourself and must have set an answer in your | terms. Then say, |
| Tx:30.13 | This cancels out the | terms which you have set and lets the answer show you what the |

| W1:14.6 | case, name the “disaster” quite specifically. Do not use general | terms. For example, do not say, “God did not create illness,” but, |
| W1:19.3 | it contains at that time. As you consider each one, name it in | terms of the central person or theme it contains and, holding it in |
| W1:25.2 | You perceive the world and everything in it as meaningful in | terms of ego goals. These goals have nothing to do with your own best |

| W1:35.8 | situation that occurs to you, identify the descriptive term or | terms which you feel are applicable to your reactions to that |
| W1:73.1 | in which your belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in | terms of creation. They make nothing that is real. |
| W1:92.1 | is an extension of the previous one. You do not think of light in | terms of strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because |
| W1:92.1 | one. You do not think of light in terms of strength and darkness in | terms of weakness. That is because your idea of what seeing means is |
| W1:95.6 | of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in | terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial |
| W1:98.5 | here? Is not five minutes of the hour but a small request to make in | terms of a reward so great it has no measure? You have made a |
| W1:99.1 | something apart or different from the Will of God. Thus do both | terms imply the thought of the impossible which has occurred, |
| W1:105.5 | unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in simple | terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before. It |

| W1:184.1 | all things to which you give a different name—all happenings in | terms of place and time, all bodies which are greeted by a name. |
| W1:184.10 | not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in | terms which still have meaning in the world which darkness rules. |

| M:5.4 | as we perceive it depends on the body being the decision-maker. | Terms like “instincts,” “reflexes” and the like represent attempts to |
| M:5.4 | to endow the body with non-mental motivators. Actually, such | terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not answer it. |
| M:10.2 | “Good judgment” in these | terms does not mean anything. No more does “bad.” It is necessary for |
| M:13.2 | you have less because of it. There is no sacrifice in the world's | terms that does not involve the body. Think a while about what the |
| M:13.8 | of sacrifice, and remember what each decision you make must mean in | terms of cost. Decide for God, and everything is given you at no cost |
| M:16.2 | should the day begin with error, yet there are obvious advantages in | terms of saving time if the need for this can be avoided. |
| M:16.3 | At the beginning, it is wise to think in | terms of time. This is by no means the ultimate criterion, but at the |
| M:24.2 | the curriculum. There is always some risk in seeing the present in | terms of the past. There is always some good in any thought which |

| Tx:21.68 | apart from blessing. The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the | thanks your Father gives you for completing Him. And here alone does |
| Tx:23.33 | salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear! Give | thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for |
| Tx:25.20 | glad if you appreciate His masterpiece? What could He do but offer | thanks to you who love His Son as He does? Would He not make known to |

| Tx:3.77 | on this point, and there is no resolution while you believe the one | thing that is literally inconceivable. That is why you cannot create |
| Tx:4.30 | are somehow getting something better so that you can do without the | thing you give. “Giving to get” is an inescapable law of the ego, |
| Tx:4.30 | the ego as very weak and deprived, capable of functioning only as a | thing in need. |
| Tx:4.44 | That was written in that form because it is a good | thing to use as a kind of a prayer in moments of temptation. It is a |
| Tx:4.83 | The essential | thing to remember is that the ego does not recognize the real source |
| 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 that you |
| Tx:4.88 | all truly natural impulses, not because the ego is a separate | thing, but because you want to believe that you are. The ego is a |
| Tx:4.90 | brother is to know God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing | thing. If you are grateful to each other, you are grateful to God for |
| Tx:5.73 | that the two voices speak for different interpretations of the same | thing simultaneously, or almost simultaneously, for the ego always |
| Tx:5.74 | interprets Scripture as a witness for itself. The Bible is a fearful | thing to the ego because of its prejudiced judgment. Perceiving it as |
| Tx:6.55 | you be but afraid? You would doubt your sanity, which is the one | thing in which you can find the sanity He gave you. |
| Tx:6.90 | must be included and that the belief that you are not is the only | thing that you must exclude. |
| Tx:6.94 | much as of you, but remember that those who will to teach the same | thing must be in agreement about what they believe. |
| Tx:7.12 | they are misguided in how [they] defend it, are siding with the one | thing in this world which is true. Whenever anyone can listen fairly |

| Tx:7.107 | Him is therefore the easiest thing in the world and the only | thing that is easy, because it is not of the world and is therefore |
| Tx:8.60 | regardless of why it is impossible, is the most depressing | thing in the world. In fact, it is ultimately why the world is |
| Tx:8.64 | is to separate. How can you do both simultaneously with the same | thing and not suffer? Perception of the body can be unified only by |
| Tx:8.69 | of everything are childish and always based on what it believes a | thing is for. This is because it is incapable of true generalizations |
| Tx:8.77 | When we said that the ego does not know anything, we said the one | thing about the ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if |
| Tx:10.34 | It is difficult at first to realize that this is exactly the same | thing, for there is no distinction between within and without. |
| Tx:10.47 | What you must learn to recognize is that the last | thing the ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of it. For |
| Tx:11.28 | is for the mind, and it is attained through peace. This is the only | thing that can be saved and the only way to save it. Any response |
| Tx:11.55 | You do not want the world. The only | thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. |
| Tx:11.83 | seeking the unreal, what else could you find? The unreal world is a | thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share God's Being |
| Tx:12.33 | content of individual illusions differs greatly. Yet they have one | thing in common—they are all insane. They are made of sights which |
| Tx:12.66 | The real world is the way that leads you to remembrance of this one | thing that is wholly true and wholly yours. For all else you have |
| Tx:12.66 | else you have lent yourself in time, and it will fade. But this one | thing is always yours, being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one |
| Tx:13.11 | Guilt remains the only | thing that hides the Father, for guilt is the attack upon His Son. |
| Tx:13.17 | You are afraid of what you would see there, but it is not there. The | thing you fear is gone. If you would look within, you would see only |
| Tx:13.41 | Have faith in only this one | thing, and it will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and |
| Tx:13.55 | speck of dust, a body or a war are one to you. For if you value one | thing made of nothing, you have believed that nothing can be precious |
| Tx:14.47 | brings the laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the one | thing you can do that transcends order, being based not on |
| Tx:14.58 | Yet the essential | thing is learning that you do not know. Knowledge is power, and all |
| Tx:14.63 | and everyone around you. The absence of perfect peace means but one | thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His Father wills |
| Tx:16.7 | “miracle” for this. We once said that if a brother asks a foolish | thing of you, to do it. But be certain that this does not mean to do |
| Tx:16.7 | to do it. But be certain that this does not mean to do a foolish | thing that would hurt either him or you, for what would hurt one will |
| Tx:16.74 | the illusion of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one | thing which the ego never allows to reach awareness is that the |
| Tx:17.8 | of worlds so different. Yet this little bridge is the strongest | thing that touches on this world at all. This little step, so small |
| Tx:17.12 | perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf becomes a | thing of wonder and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection. From |
| Tx:17.58 | In any situation in which you are uncertain, the first | thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I want to come of this? |
| Tx:18.20 | you alone, for therein lay its misery. As its unholiness kept it a | thing apart, its holiness will become an offering to everyone. |
| Tx:18.27 | to be holy. The Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only | thing you ever had or ever were. |
| Tx:18.50 | Heaven and the loss of your Identity. And you have done a stranger | thing than you yet realize. You have displaced your guilt to your |
| Tx:18.54 | invest in it. How has this served you? You have identified with this | thing you hate, the instrument of vengeance and the perceived source |
| Tx:18.54 | and the perceived source of your guilt. You have done this to a | thing that has no meaning, proclaiming it to be the dwelling-place of |
| Tx:18.55 | you have sown the seeds of vengeance, violence, and death. This | thing you made to serve your guilt stands between you and other |
| Tx:18.64 | progress and are really trying to make still more, but there is one | thing you have never done—not for one instant have you utterly |
| Tx:19.51 | eyes. And in their savage search for sin, they pounce on any living | thing they see and carry it screaming to their master to be devoured. |
| Tx:19.80 | dedicated to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One | thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death, wills not |
| Tx:19.81 | to sin, offered to sin to feed upon and keep itself alive—a | thing condemned, damned by its maker, and lamented by every mourner |
| Tx:19.103 | he will give you yours as surely as God created every living | thing and loves it. And he will give it truly, for it will be both |
| Tx:20.5 | made to make seem lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated | thing to draw your brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? |
| Tx:20.23 | Ask not this transient stranger, “What am I?” He is the only | thing in all the universe that does not know. Yet it is he you asked, |
| Tx:20.23 | it you turn to ask the meaning of the universe. And of the one blind | thing in all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look |
| Tx:20.24 | holy relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment of the one | thing that still would have it be unholy. Give it no power to adjust |
| Tx:20.64 | the end for which it was intended, nor is it valued as a separate | thing apart from the intention. The means seem real because the goal |
| Tx:20.74 | yourself the power you gave them, you are released from them. One | thing is sure—hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that purpose |
| Tx:21.14 | This is the only | thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and |
| Tx:22.7 | Yet if your eyes are closed and you have called upon this | thing to lead you, asking it to explain to you the world it sees, you |
| Tx:22.19 | faith in innocence is faith in sin if the belief excludes one living | thing and holds it out apart from its forgiveness. |
| Tx:23.29 | unanswered question, not yet “explained.” What is this precious | thing, this priceless pearl, this hidden secret treasure, to be |
| Tx:24.43 | is it joy to look upon decay and madness and believe this crumbling | thing, with flesh already loosened from the bone and sightless holes |
| Tx:24.45 | not complete. And so He sought for your completion in each living | thing that He beholds and loves. And seeks it still, that each might |
| Tx:25.13 | worth delaying change that might result in better outcome? For one | thing is sure—the way you see, and long have seen, gives no support |
| Tx:25.47 | of God do not prevail in perfect form, can he yet do one perfect | thing and make one perfect choice. And by this act of special |
| Tx:25.49 | and let salvation be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one | thing, that everything be given you. |
| Tx:25.50 | yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. Sin is the one | thing in all the world that cannot change. It is immutable. And on |
| Tx:26.14 | to yourself, remember this: justice is total. There is no such | thing as partial justice. If the Son of God is guilty, then is he |
| Tx:26.21 | is the same and what is different remain unclear. The one essential | thing to make a choice at all is this distinction. And herein lies |
| Tx:26.33 | it has long since gone. You think you live in what is past. Each | thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago before its |
| Tx:26.54 | in your perception by a body which is clearly separate and a | thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your wish to be |
| Tx:26.80 | claimed is given up to love, and freedom lights up every living | thing and lifts it into Heaven, where the lights grow ever brighter |
| Tx:26.86 | your awareness it is your own and equally belongs to every living | thing along with you. God limits not. And what is limited can not be |
| Tx:26.89 | Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every living | thing upon the earth. |
| Tx:27.12 | do not know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a purpose to a | thing you made to hide your function from yourself. This thing |
| Tx:27.12 | to a thing you made to hide your function from yourself. This | thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:27.15 | condemnation that he still would hold against himself or any living | thing. |
| Tx:27.38 | itself. A double question asks and answers, both attesting the same | thing in different form. |
| Tx:27.45 | you are afraid of healing, then it cannot come through you. The only | thing that is required for a healing is a lack of fear. The fearful |
| Tx:27.62 | something not himself. He is the victim of this “something else,” a | thing outside himself for which he has no reason to be held |
| Tx:27.68 | to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must really be. Of one | thing you were sure—of all the many causes you perceived as |
| Tx:27.88 | I have done this | thing, and it is this I would undo. |
| Tx:27.89 | so. Yet to its witnesses you pay no heed at all. For they attest the | thing you do not want to know. They seem to keep it secret from you. |
| Tx:27.90 | you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one | thing that is impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they |
| Tx:28.10 | would witness to is but the fear of God. He has not done the | thing you fear. No more have you. And so your innocence has not been |
| Tx:28.21 | What else could be expected from a | thing that has no cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. |
| Tx:28.37 | depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be sure of just one | thing—that you are evil, for you share in dreams of fear. |
| Tx:28.49 | between illusion and the truth? A middle ground where you can be a | thing that is not you must be a dream and cannot be the truth. |
| Tx:28.55 | 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 like, |
| Tx:28.56 | The | thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. |
| Tx:28.56 | 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 uses you |
| Tx:29.11 | power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle is not a separate | thing which happens suddenly, as an effect without a cause. Nor is it |
| Tx:29.15 | the promise of the living God—His Son have life and every living | thing be part of him, and nothing else have life. What you have given |
| Tx:29.17 | Sickness is a demand the body be a | thing that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it can not be |
| Tx:29.18 | its nothingness has not been recognized. And so it seems to be a | thing with power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and |
| Tx:29.19 | despair. It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a | thing you love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the |
| Tx:29.19 | when you behold the body as a thing you love, or look upon it as a | thing you hate. For if He be the sum of everything, then what is not |
| Tx:29.28 | which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or body, or a | thing should represent and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, |
| Tx:29.39 | immortal as his Father. What he is cannot be changed. He is the only | thing in all the universe that must be one. What seems eternal all |
| Tx:29.40 | unless it does not take this purpose as its own. Change is the only | thing that can be made a blessing here, where purpose is not fixed, |
| Tx:29.42 | fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous | thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it |
| Tx:29.52 | is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a | thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an object owned or |
| Tx:29.55 | could make demand He enter not? The “more-than-everything” is not a | thing to make you tremble and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is |
| Tx:29.60 | you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living | thing as well. And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of |
| Tx:29.60 | the same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living | thing a part of you, as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more |
| Tx:30.1 | it. The speed by which it can be reached depends on this one | thing alone—your willingness to practice every step. Each one will |
| Tx:30.22 | to take you further. You are not coerced but merely hope to get a | thing you want. And you can say in perfect honesty, |
| Tx:30.35 | you and through your will created everything. Not one created | thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born. |
| Tx:30.38 | It is as if you said, “I have no need of everything. This little | thing I want, and it will be as everything to me.” And this must fail |
| Tx:30.40 | has no form because it is unlimited. To seek a special person or a | thing to add to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you |
| Tx:30.41 | 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 called |
| Tx:30.48 | Thought God holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a | thing apart from you and in a world which your reality knows nothing |
| Tx:30.51 | each one seems to break the rules you set for it. It never was the | thing you thought. It must appear to break your rules for safety, |
| Tx:30.54 | have been quickly brought about when you decide one very simple | thing—you do not want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus |
| Tx:30.56 | 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 by his |
| Tx:30.84 | a fearful script and are afraid accordingly. But not because the | thing you fear has fearful meaning in itself. |
| Tx:31.9 | There is no living | thing which does not share the universal will that it be whole and |
| Tx:31.26 | a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is first one | thing that must be overlearned. It must become a habit of response so |
| Tx:31.28 | body be at fault for what it does. It is not seen to be a passive | thing, obeying your commands and doing nothing of itself at all. If |
| Tx:31.44 | Son of God. The concept of the self the world would teach is not the | thing that it appears to be. For it is made to serve two purposes, |
| Tx:31.47 | perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches this: “I am the | thing you made of me, and as you look on me, you stand condemned |
| Tx:31.48 | with ceaseless urgency condemning still your brother for the hated | thing you are. |
| Tx:31.54 | There are alternatives about the | thing that you must be. You might for instance be the thing you chose |
| Tx:31.54 | about the thing that you must be. You might for instance be the | thing you chose to have your brother be. This shifts the concept of |
| Tx:31.60 | I do not know the | thing I am and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or |
| Tx:31.79 | not. And from that wish, a concept rises, teaching that you are the | thing you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until |
| Tx:31.81 | that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to make yourself a | thing which you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you |
| Tx:31.81 | make yourself a thing which you are not. And think as well upon the | thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and |
| Tx:31.81 | And think as well upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a | thing of madness, pain, and death; a thing of treachery and black |
| Tx:31.81 | you would be instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and death; a | thing of treachery and black despair, of failing dreams and no |
| Tx:31.92 | You are as God created you, and so is every living | thing you look upon, regardless of the images you see. What you |
| W1:1.5 | Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically excluded. One | thing is like another as far as the application of the idea is |

| W1:17.4 | Then look about you, resting your glance on each | thing that catches your eye long enough to say: |
| W1:28.2 | are not seeing at all. You either see or not. When you have seen one | thing differently, you will see all things differently. The light you |

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

| W1:99.2 | are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the | thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation is the |
| W1:99.5 | death, on grief and separation, and on loss. Yet does He know one | thing must still be true—God still is Love, and this is not His |
| W1:109.8 | the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the only | thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary |
| W1:128.2 | Each | thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and |
| W1:131.4 | is inevitable here. For this you came, and you will surely do the | thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate the goal for which |
| W1:133.7 | First, if you choose a | thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A |
| W1:133.8 | Next, if you choose to take a | thing away from someone else, you will have nothing left. This is |
| W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only | thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees |
| W1:134.10 | It is but lies which would condemn. In truth is innocence the only | thing there is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, |
| W1:135.6 | Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a | thing to fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It |
| W1:136.8 | Sickness is a decision. It is not a | thing that happens to you quite unsought, which makes you weak and |
| W1:138.10 | when only one is seen as valuable, the other as a wholly worthless | thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who hesitates to make |

| W1:139.2 | to be sincere. The only thing that can be surely known by any living | thing is what it is. From this one point of certainty it looks on |
| W1:139.4 | as if he did not know, it merely shows he does not want to be the | thing he is. He has accepted it because he lives, has judged against |
| W1:151.5 | This | thing it speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is yourself. And |
| W1:158.1 | which you cannot lose. It was given as well to every living | thing, for by that knowledge only does it live. |
| W1:159.1 | No one can give what he has not received. To give a | thing requires first you have it in your own possession. Here the |
| W1:159.1 | But here they also separate. The world believes that to possess a | thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches otherwise. To give is how |
| W1:161.7 | Hate is specific. There must be a | thing to be attacked. An enemy must be perceived in such a form he |
| W1:161.7 | and seen and heard and ultimately killed. When hatred rests upon a | thing, it calls for death as surely as God's Voice proclaims there is |
| W1:165.5 | Ask with desire. You need not be sure that you request the only | thing you want. But when you have received, you will be sure you have |
| W1:166.12 | Yet He reminds you still of one | thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you like |
| W1:167.12 | there. And now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the | thing reflected and the light which makes reflection possible. No |
| W1:181.9 | He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will become the only | thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves. |

| W1:183.7 | then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only word, the only | thing that occupies our minds, the only wish we have, the only sound |
| W1:185.2 | completely changed should any two agree these words express the only | thing they want. |
| W1:186.12 | Do as His Voice directs. And if it asks a | thing of you that seems impossible, remember Who it is that asks and |
| 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 perceive it yours. Yet we have |
| W1:188.1 | home and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only | thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in |
| W1:188.3 | your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living | thing and leave a blessing with it which remains forever and forever. |
| W1:191.4 | can be denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one | thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is everything set |
| W1:195.6 | We thank our Father for one | thing alone—that we are separate from no living thing and therefore |
| W1:195.6 | our Father for one thing alone—that we are separate from no living | thing and therefore one with Him. And we rejoice that no exceptions |
| W1:195.6 | the One Who is Himself completion. We give thanks for every living | thing, for otherwise we offer thanks for nothing and we fail to |
| W1:196.9 | in terror from the deadly fear of God projection hides behind. The | thing you dread the most is your salvation. You are strong, and it is |
| W2:231.1 | —a something 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 |
| W2:240.1 | be and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one | thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in |
| W2:290.1 | day I seek my present happiness and look on nothing else except the | thing I seek. |
| W2:294.1 | I am a Son of God. And can I be another | thing as well? Did God create the mortal and corruptible? What use |
| W2:294.1 | What use has God's beloved Son for what must die? And yet a neutral | thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested |
| W2:311.1 | what it is being used against and sets it off as if it were a | thing apart. And then it makes of it what you would have it be. It |
| W2:318.1 | the 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 |
| W2:325.1 | idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the | thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. |
| M:8.1 | of darkness and light, and thousands of contrasts in which each | thing seen competes with every other in order to be recognized. A |

| M:16.1 | lessons in the curriculum change each day. Yet he is sure of but one | thing—they do not change at random. Seeing this and understanding |

| M:20.2 | It is a new thing entirely. There is a contrast, yes, between this | thing and all the past. But strangely, it is not a contrast of true |

| Tx:8.81 | Wrong perception is distorted willing, which wants | things to be as they are not. The reality of everything is totally |

| Tx:8.95 | Divided wills do not communicate because they speak for different | things to the same mind. This loses the ability to communicate simply |
| Tx:8.105 | because you are trying to make yourself unreal. When you feel these | things, do not try to look beyond yourself for truth, for truth can |

| Tx:9.7 | you, for you walk together. The Holy Spirit in you forgives all | things in you and in your brother. His errors are forgiven with |

| Tx:10.68 | or small. What does not exist has no size and no measure. To God all | things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be like the Father. |
| Tx:11.83 | remains irresistible. For it is the function of love to unite all | things unto itself, and to hold all things together by extending its |
| Tx:11.83 | function of love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all | things together by extending its wholeness. |
| Tx:12.50 | Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only | things that are forever true. All healing lies within it because its |
| Tx:12.59 | separate. There are no stores where people buy an endless list of | things they do not need. It is not lit with artificial light, and |
| Tx:12.68 | so, for what could you need in eternity? In your world you do need | things because it is a world of scarcity in which you find yourself |
| Tx:12.68 | is a dangerous concept if it is left to you. The ego wants to have | things for salvation, for possession is its law. Possession for its |
| Tx:12.68 | builds unto itself. And at its altar it demands you lay all of the | things it bids you get, leaving you no joy in them. |
| Tx:12.70 | Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He will give you all | things that do not block the way to light. And what else could you |
| Tx:12.70 | to light. And what else could you need? In time He gives you all the | things that you need have and will renew them as long as you have |
| Tx:12.70 | of them have been fulfilled. Therefore He has no investment in the | things that He supplies except to make certain that you will not use |
| Tx:13.81 | How gracious is it to decide all | things through Him Whose equal love is given equally to all alike! He |
| Tx:14.20 | what has not been broken but has been made obscure. All | things you made have use to Him for His most holy purpose. He knows |
| Tx:17.2 | You cannot be faithful to two masters who ask of you conflicting | things. What you use in fantasy, you deny to truth. Yet what you give |
| Tx:17.3 | order of difficulty in miracles, all you mean is that there are some | things you would withhold from truth. You believe that truth cannot |
| Tx:18.57 | His Son to make this possible. He would have had to create different | things and to establish different orders of reality, only some of |
| Tx:18.75 | fragment seems to be self-contained, needing each other for some | things but by no means totally dependent on their one Creator for |
| Tx:19.29 | mind, although the body's eyes will see no change. The eyes see many | things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the eyes' |
| Tx:19.50 | cannot obey two masters, each asking for messages of different | things in different languages. What fear would feed upon, love |

| Tx:19.77 | with death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living | things because the ego is the “enemy” of life. |
| Tx:19.96 | and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of | things beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come |
| Tx:20.5 | upon the body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless | things made for its eyes to see. Think on the many offerings made for |
| Tx:20.28 | this world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These | things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and |
| Tx:20.57 | has meaning. It is as like your real relationship with God as equal | things are like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless. |
| Tx:20.73 | play the idle game of death in your imagination. But vision sets all | things right, bringing them gently within the kindly sway of Heaven's |
| Tx:21.20 | salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that | things should happen to the Son of God without his will and thus |
| Tx:21.49 | laws of size and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other | things were equal. They are not equal. For what you look for, you are |
| Tx:21.61 | accepting reason where madness was. Madness and reason see the same | things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently. |
| Tx:21.76 | are all the same. We said this year would emphasize the sameness of | things that are the same. This final question, which is indeed the |
| Tx:22.10 | makes and what he hears are highly unreliable, meaning different | things to him at different times. Neither the sounds he hears nor |
| Tx:23.27 | not give willingly to one another, nor would they seek to share the | things they value. And what your enemies would keep from you must be |
| Tx:24.46 | them, holding out His hand that everyone may bless all living | things and see their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are |
| Tx:24.46 | lack of specialness He offers you that you may save all living | things from death, receiving from each one the gift of life that your |
| Tx:25.10 | so split could never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all | things within itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite |
| Tx:25.10 | within itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all | things together must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language |
| Tx:26.24 | and to make them different. [How simple is the choice between two | things so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No sacrifice |
| Tx:26.56 | What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds all | things within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible |
| Tx:27.18 | Thus does the miracle undo all | things the world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and |
| Tx:27.36 | In quietness are all | things answered and is every problem quietly resolved. In conflict |
| Tx:27.70 | the choice is really given you, then you must see the causes of the | things you choose between exactly as they are and where they are. |
| Tx:27.77 | is its guiding rule. It tries to look for pleasure and avoid the | things that would be hurtful. Above all, it tries to teach itself its |
| Tx:27.78 | body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts | things on itself which it has bought with little metal discs or paper |
| Tx:27.78 | as valuable and good. It works to get them, doing senseless | things, and tosses them away for senseless things it does not need |
| Tx:27.78 | get them, doing senseless things, and tosses them away for senseless | things it does not need and does not even want. It hires other |
| Tx:27.78 | other bodies, that they may protect it, and collect more senseless | things that it can call its own. It looks about for special bodies |
| 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 make the |
| Tx:28.2 | take the place of what God gave in your creation. And like all the | things you made, it can be used to serve another purpose and to be |
| Tx:28.3 | unselective memory, which is not used to interfere with truth. All | things the Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him, |
| Tx:28.25 | neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as separate | things need not be feared. And so they are not sick. |
| Tx:28.30 | coming with illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all | things that seem to glisten in the dream. |
| Tx:29.16 | earth it has a double purpose, for it can be made to teach opposing | things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The body |
| Tx:29.21 | him, without the wall the world has built to keep apart all living | things who know not that they live. Within the dream of bodies and of |
| Tx:29.39 | The stars will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All | things that come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of |
| Tx:29.39 | that come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all | things that change with time and bloom and fade will not return. |
| Tx:29.39 | will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the | things of time may disappear because they have no use. |
| Tx:29.57 | the changeless change, the peace of God, forever given to all living | things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless |
| Tx:29.58 | endless, has no place to be. An idol is beyond where God has set all | things forever and has left no room for anything to be except His |
| Tx:29.66 | a child, 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 |
| Tx:29.67 | what it sees. No one is used for something he is not, for childish | things have all been put away. And what was once a dream of judgment |
| Tx:30.7 | again the kind of day you want, the feelings you would have, the | things you want to happen to you, and the things you would experience |
| Tx:30.7 | you would have, the things you want to happen to you, and the | things you would experience and say, |
| Tx:30.31 | want before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all | things to happen. Nothing can be caused without some form of union, |
| Tx:30.39 | shares in all creation cannot be content with small ideas and little | things. |
| Tx:30.49 | arose between yourself and what is true. And you attack them for the | things you think they represent. What lies beyond them cannot be |
| Tx:30.52 | for them. Their dancing never brought you joy. But neither were they | things to frighten you nor make you safe if they obeyed your rules. |
| Tx:30.53 | no real effects at all? What could it be but an illusion, making | things appear like to itself? Look calmly at its toys and understand |
| Tx:30.55 | it be except a happy dream? It asks you but that you forgive all | things that no one ever did, to overlook what is not there, and not |
| Tx:30.55 | are but asked to let your will be done and seek no longer for the | things you do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of |
| Tx:30.57 | into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all | things created as they really are. And it is recognized that all |
| Tx:30.57 | all things created as they really are. And it is recognized that all | things must be first forgiven, and then understood. |
| Tx:30.58 | by its vain appeal, for suffering and death have been perceived as | things not wanted and not striven for. The possibility of freedom has |
| Tx:30.86 | Escape from judgment simply lies in this—all | things have but one purpose which you share with all the world. And |
| Tx:30.87 | be established while the symbols which are used mean different | things? The Holy Spirit's goal gives one interpretation, meaningful |
| Tx:30.93 | Because reality is changeless is a miracle already there to heal all | things that change and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid |
| Tx:31.1 | 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 obvious. It |
| Tx:31.4 | the Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple | things salvation teaches you! |
| Tx:31.12 | Let us be still an instant and forget all | things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception |
| Tx:31.12 | all thoughts we had, and every preconception which we hold of what | things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own |
| Tx:31.22 | without your opposition or intent. There will be no attack upon the | things you thought were precious and in need of care. There will be |
| Tx:31.45 | aspect never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little | things make small assaults upon its innocence, provoking it to |
| Tx:31.48 | You can be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you change the | things it makes you do. And you are each the symbol of your sins to |
| Tx:31.51 | have made the world as well as you to have such prescience in the | things to come. |
| Tx:31.57 | you perceive a self which interacts with evil and reacts to wicked | things? Your concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. |
| Tx:31.63 | choose to see the body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated | things, and happenings that make no sense at all. This one appears |
| Tx:31.74 | silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All | things you see are images because you look on them as through a |
| W1:I.4 | as possible. Be sure that you do not decide that there are some | things you see to which the idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim |
| W1:1.5 | in any order, and make no allowance for differences in the kinds of | things to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the |
| W1:2.1 | this idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the | things that are near you, and apply the idea to whatever your glance |
| W1:3.1 | in judgment. Anything is suitable if you see it. Some of the | things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. Try to |
| W1:3.1 | for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these | things exactly as you would anything else. |
| W1:3.2 | is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see | things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little |
| W1:3.2 | keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the | things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. For this |
| W1:4.4 | This thought about _____ does not mean anything. It is like the | things I see in this room [or wherever you are]. |
| W1:7.5 | why your thoughts do not mean anything and why they are like the | things you see. |
| W1:9.5 | Begin with | things that are nearest you, and then extend the range: |
| W1:10.2 | instead of “These thoughts” and no link is made overtly with the | things around you. The emphasis is now on the lack of reality of what |
| W1:14.7 | your personal repertory of horrors at which you are looking. These | things are part of the world you see. Some of them are shared |
| W1:15.7 | you will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many | things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try |
| W1:17.1 | cause and effect as it really operates. You see no neutral | things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought |
| W1:17.3 | I see no neutral | things because I have no neutral thoughts. |
| W1:28.2 | 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 all. You |
| W1:28.2 | or not. When you have seen one thing differently, you will see all | things differently. The light you will see in any one of them is the |
| W1:29.3 | Try then today to begin to learn how to look on all | things with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You do not see |
| W1:30.4 | “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of | things beyond your present range as well as those you can actually |
| W1:35.10 | nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to think up specific | things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's idea |
| W1:37.3 | but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all | things blessed, along with you. |
| W1:38.2 | you are holy, so is everything God created. You are holy because all | things He created are holy. And all things He created are holy |
| W1:38.2 | You are holy because all things He created are holy. And all | things He created are holy because you are. |
| W1:38.8 | to begin to instill in you a sense that you have dominion over all | things because of what you are. |
| W1:40.1 | Today we will begin to assert some of the happy | things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long |
| W1:41.2 | and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these | things were real and suffered out of its allegiance to them. |
| W1:41.6 | thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these | things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality. |
| W1:47.2 | Of yourself, you can do none of these | things. To believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is |
| W1:47.6 | gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful in all | things. |
| W1:47.8 | feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial | things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach |
| W1:50.1 | forms of nothingness which you endow with magical powers. All these | things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things |
| W1:50.1 | these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these | things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs |
| W1:51.6 | “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them true. I make all | things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified and my attacks are |
| W1:54.3 | [17] I see no neutral | things. What I see witnesses to what I think. If I did not think, I |
| W1:55.2 | [21] I am determined to see | things differently. What I see now are but signs of disease, |
| W1:55.2 | 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 do not |
| W1:57.6 | had kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of all living | things including myself, and their oneness with me. |
| W1:58.6 | to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All good | things are mine because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any |
| W1:58.6 | who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all | things. His care for me is infinite and is with me forever. I am |
| W1:60.3 | I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all | things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin |
| W1:70.11 | My salvation cannot come from any of these | things. My salvation comes from me, and only from me. |
| W1:71.4 | there are still grounds for hope in other places and in other | things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation will |
| W1:71.8 | to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All | things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His |
| W1:72.3 | attack on God's plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of | things which you are apt to hold grievances for. Are they not always |
| W1:76.1 | We have observed before how many senseless | things have seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you |
| W1:76.1 | realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in | things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no |
| W1:76.4 | It is insanity that thinks these | things. You call them laws and put them under different names in a |
| W1:83.5 | [66] My happiness and my function are one. All | things that come from God are one. They come from Oneness and must be |
| W1:86.2 | about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many | things, but when I reached for it, it was not there. I was mistaken |
| W1:87.2 | my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of | things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will |
| W1:92.4 | Strength overlooks these | things by seeing past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the |
| W1:96.15 | in strength, it will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all | things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all |
| W1:96.15 | all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all | things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your |
| W1:99.12 | Think of these | things in practicing today, and start your longer practice periods |
| W1:106.3 | Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the truth. Go past all | things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His |
| W1:R3.9 | to practice only at appointed times and then go on your way to other | things without applying what you learned to them. As a result, you |
| W1:R3.11 | to rest a little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other | things, but try to keep the thought with you and let it serve to help |
| W1:119.3 | [108] To give and to receive are one in truth. I will forgive all | things today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and come |
| W1:122.12 | waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all | things you want are given you. |
| W1:127.2 | remain itself although it is withheld from others. To believe these | things of love is not to understand it. If it could make such |
| W1:128.3 | what you value you make part of you as you perceive yourself. All | things you seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you |
| W1:129.2 | and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind and takes away all | things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting love is found, |
| W1:129.2 | is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all | things end. |
| W1:129.3 | cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all | things you really want and know they have no ending, and they will |
| W1:129.5 | that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from little | things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them |
| W1:129.6 | It waits but for your choosing it to take the place of all the | things you seek but do not want. |
| W1:131.16 | standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all | things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you |
| W1:132.9 | if it is indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all | things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts |
| W1:132.15 | all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all living | things we see upon it. They cannot be there—no more than we. For we |
| W1:133.2 | too little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to | things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for |
| W1:133.3 | in the world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all | things you think you want. Unless they meet these sound requirements, |
| W1:133.8 | you have denied your own. You therefore will not recognize the | things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to take |
| W1:133.13 | All | things are valuable or valueless, worthy or not of being sought at |
| W1:134.17 | save the world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil | things you thought of him, and each time ask yourself “Would I |
| W1:135.28 | your Eastertime with you. Throughout the day, as foolish little | things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you to engage |
| W1:138.1 | believe there are alternatives to choose between. We think that all | things have an opposite, and what we want we choose. If Heaven |
| W1:139.2 | is what it is. From this one point of certainty it looks on other | things as certain as itself. Uncertainty about what you must be is |
| W1:152.6 | 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 makes a |
| W1:152.7 | over life—all this is arrogance. Humility would see at once these | things are not of Him. And can you see what God created not? To think |
| W1:155.11 | When dreams are over, time has closed the door on all the | things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God |
| W1:156.4 | Presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because of you. All | things that live bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and |
| W1:156.5 | The Light in you is what the universe longs to behold. All living | things are still before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. |
| W1:156.5 | itself Which walks with you, transforming in Its gentle Light all | things into Its likeness and Its purity. |
| W1:159.5 | to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness. | Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows there, |
| W1:160.5 | is he exiled of necessity, not knowing who he is, uncertain of all | things but this—that he is not himself and that his home has been |
| W1:162.1 | gave in answer to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all | things seen within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as |
| W1:163.2 | the thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living | things within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its |
| W1:163.3 | All | things but death are seen to be unsure, too quickly lost however hard |
| W1:163.6 | while still believing in the rest. For death is total. Either all | things die or else they live and cannot die. No compromise is |
| W1:163.9 | have placed us, in the Life we share with You and with all living | things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your |
| W1:164.4 | will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all | things you sought before that you will know that here your treasure |
| W1:164.6 | is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all | things within the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what |
| W1:164.8 | own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all | things you think you want. Your trifling treasures put away and leave |
| W1:166.1 | All | things are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His |
| W1:167.6 | mind does not exist because it has no source. For mind creates all | things that are and cannot give them attributes it lacks nor change |
| W1:169.3 | shut tight against God's Voice. It has become aware that there are | things it does not know and thus is ready to accept a state |
| W1:169.5 | is simply the idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all | things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say “God is,” and then we |
| W1:169.9 | understood. Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of | things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is |
| W1:171.2 | [151] All | things are echoes of the Voice of God. God is but Love, and therefore |
| W1:183.5 | Self, Whose Name is His. Repeat His Name and all the tiny, nameless | things on earth slip into right perspective. Those who call upon the |
| W1:183.11 | is giving still, and will forever give. He calls on Him to let all | things he thought he made be nameless now, and in their place the |
| W1:183.12 | All little | things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The little things |
| W1:183.12 | things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The little | things of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of nothing |
| W1:184.1 | this you designate its special attributes and set it off from other | things by emphasizing space surrounding it. This space you lay |
| W1:184.1 | by emphasizing space surrounding it. This space you lay between all | things to which you give a different name—all happenings in terms |
| W1:184.2 | This space you see as setting off all | things from one another is the means by which the world's perception |
| W1:184.2 | and see as well nothing where there is unity—a space between all | things, between all things and you. Thus do you think that you have |
| W1:184.2 | where there is unity—a space between all things, between all | things and you. Thus do you think that you have given life in |
| W1:184.3 | names by which the world becomes a series of discrete events, of | things un-unified, of bodies kept apart and holding bits of mind as |
| W1:184.3 | perception as you wished to have perception be. The nameless | things were given names and thus reality was given them as well. For |
| W1:184.4 | the given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little | things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity or |
| W1:184.10 | Word, the Name Which God has given you; the One Identity Which all | things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step |
| W1:184.11 | has One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all | things within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but |
| W1:184.12 | God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all | things are one, and at this single lesson learning ends. All names |
| W1:184.15 | Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living | things and You Who are their One Creator. What we made and call by |
| W1:185.10 | really want and join your own intent with what they seek above all | things, perhaps unknown to them, but sure to you. You have been weak |
| W1:186.12 | likely to be right? The Voice that speaks for the Creator of all | things Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a distorted image |
| W1:186.12 | The Voice that speaks for the Creator of all things Who knows all | things exactly as they are, or a distorted image of yourself, |
| W1:187.2 | body's eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that | things but represent the thoughts that make them. And you do not lack |
| W1:187.4 | Protect all | things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure |
| W1:187.4 | keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the form of | things that lives unchangeable. |
| W1:188.5 | in him. The peace of God is shining in you now and in all living | things. In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your |
| W1:188.6 | know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly | things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. |
| W1:188.7 | and shadows. They remind you that you are the co-creator of all | things that live. For as the peace of God is shining in you, it must |
| W1:188.9 | that the peace of God still shines in us and from us to all living | things that share our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all |
| W1:188.10 | The peace of God is shining in me now. Let all | things shine upon me in that peace, and let me bless them with the |
| W1:190.5 | or weak or frail. But it is you who have the power to dominate all | things you see by merely recognizing what you are. As you perceive |
| W1:190.6 | and keep it as a hospital for pain, a sickly place where living | things must come at last to die? |
| W1:190.9 | without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds all | things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. |
| W1:192.4 | Forgiveness gently looks upon all | things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the world a |
| W1:193.13 | All | things are lessons God would have you learn. He would not leave an |
| W1:193.15 | linger here no more. And as we practice, let us think about all | things we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart from healing. |
| W1:194.6 | your learning to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all | things, so will the world perceive that it is saved. |
| W1:195.4 | is joined to love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all | things will find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed |
| W1:195.8 | we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot choose to overlook some | things and yet retain some other things still locked away as sins. |
| W1:195.8 | we cannot choose to overlook some things and yet retain some other | things still locked away as sins. When your forgiveness is complete, |
| W1:196.2 | at first you will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all | things held in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we |
| W1:197.8 | to you, the holy Son of God, for as you were created you contain all | things within your Self. And you are still as God created you. Nor |
| W1:213.1 | [193] All | things are lessons God would have me learn. A lesson is a miracle |
| W2:I.10 | call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all | things be healed. We will accept the way God's plan will end, as we |
| W2:WF.3 | An unforgiving thought does many | things. In frantic action, it pursues its goal, twisting and |
| W2:232.2 | the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father. Trust all | things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you, and be you |
| W2:232.2 | Him Who is your Father. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all | things to you, and be you undismayed because you are His Son. |
| W2:235.1 | I need but look upon all | things that seem to hurt me and with perfect certainty assure myself, |
| W2:WIS.3 | Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for | things imagined, issuing from thoughts which are untrue. They are the |
| W2:251.1 | I sought for many | things and found despair. Now do I seek but one, for in that one is |
| W2:252.1 | looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all | things within it in the calm of quiet certainty. Its strength comes |
| W2:264.1 | in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the | things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches |
| W2:264.1 | stands beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which holds all | things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to |
| W2:268.1 | in Love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all | things be exactly as they are? |
| W2:WIC.4 | and peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep | things separate, for what remains to see except Christ's face? |
| W2:274.1 | Father, today I would let all | things be as You created them and give Your Son the honor due his |
| W2:275.1 | and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God tells us of | things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this |
| W2:275.1 | we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all | things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice of God is |
| W2:275.2 | Your healing Voice protects all | things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious |
| W2:275.2 | Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all | things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will |
| W2:275.2 | The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all | things through me. |
| W2:278.1 | If I accept that I am prisoner within a body in a world in which all | things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner |
| W2:283.2 | and everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all | things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness |
| W2:285.1 | Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy | things of God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my |
| W2:285.1 | to which they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only joyous | things the instant I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of |
| W2:286.1 | Father, how still today! How quietly do all | things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the |
| W2:291.1 | Christ's vision looks through me today. His sight shows me all | things forgiven and at peace and offers this same vision to the |
| W2:295.2 | of Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all | things that I may look upon, that His forgiving love may rest on me. |
| W2:299.2 | its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all | things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my |
| W2:WISC.1 | illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all | things without exception and without reserve. |
| W2:WISC.2 | hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses all living | things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming |
| W2:303.2 | is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all | things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ that can be |
| 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 |
| W2:315.1 | I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all | things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my |
| W2:320.2 | Your Will can do all | things in me and then extend to all the world as well through me. |
| W2:328.1 | What seems to be the second place is first, for all | things we perceive are upside-down until we listen to the Voice of |
| W2:330.1 | today that He be our Identity and thus escape forever from all | things the dream of fear appears to offer us. |
| W2:337.1 | Atonement for myself and nothing more. God has already done all | things that need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of |
| W2:338.1 | endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external | things. His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts |
| W2:339.1 | receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about the | things he wants, the state he would attain. What can he then request |
| W2:342.1 | in and be at home. Let me not wait again today. Let me forgive all | things, and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. Let |
| W2:343.1 | impossible for me as well as You. I too must give, and so all | things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I |
| W2:346.1 | Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all | things. And so begins the day I share with You as I will share |
| W2:346.1 | 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 seek today |
| W2:346.1 | look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and | things perceived in time. I would forget all things except Your Love. |
| W2:346.1 | all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all | things except Your Love. I would abide in You and know no laws except |
| W2:346.2 | God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all | things except God's Love. |
| W2:349.1 | So would I liberate all | things I see and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I |
| W2:350.1 | part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all | things within himself as You created him. Your memory depends on his |
| W2:WAI.3 | therefore given us. We look on everyone as brothers and perceive all | things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past |
| W2:359.1 | Your world and let creation be Your own. We have misunderstood all | things. But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What |
| W2:E.6 | and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way and trust all | things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will |
| M:1.4 | with its illusions of change and death, wears out the world and all | things in it. Yet time has an ending, and it is this that the |
| M:4.3 | Which is in them but not of them. It is this Power that keeps all | things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God look |
| M:4.5 | not be painful, but it usually is so experienced. It seems as if | things are being taken away, and it is rarely understood initially |
| M:4.5 | be perceived unless the perceiver is in a position where he must see | things in a different light? He is not yet at a point at which he can |
| M:4.6 | the changes in his life are always helpful, he must now decide all | things on the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness or |
| M:4.6 | helpfulness or hamper it. He will find that many if not most of the | things he valued before will merely hinder his ability to transfer |
| M:4.6 | loss and sacrifice. It takes great learning to understand that all | things, events, encounters, and circumstances are helpful. It is only |
| M:4.12 | impossible. Therefore they can only succeed. In this, as in all | things, they are honest. They can only succeed because they never do |
| M:4.12 | will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the world and all | things in it, for the unchanging and unchangeable beyond appearances, |
| M:4.13 | this be lost, and all his learning goes. Without judgment are all | things equally acceptable, for who could judge otherwise? Without |
| M:4.16 | gifts and follow in His way because God's Voice directs them in all | things. Joy is their song of thanks. And Christ looks down on them in |
| M:4.19 | he ensure himself pain? But he does want to keep for himself all | things that are of God and therefore for His Son. These are the |
| M:4.19 | all things that are of God and therefore for His Son. These are the | things that belong to him. These he can give away in true generosity, |
| M:4.20 | to those who trust. Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all | things in time, no outcome already seen or yet to come can cause them |
| M:4.21 | is the teacher of God's trust in the word of God to set all | things right—not some but all. Generally, his faithfulness begins |
| M:4.24 | How do the open-minded forgive? They have let go all | things that would prevent forgiveness. They have in truth abandoned |
| M:4.24 | now which seemed so dull and lifeless before. And above all are all | things welcoming, for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the |
| M:4.25 | that the list of attributes of God's teachers does not include those | things which are the Son of God's inheritance. Terms like love, |
| M:10.3 | one would have to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of | things, past, present, and to come. One would have to recognize in |
| M:10.6 | of death—all these have come of it. And now he knows that these | things need not be. Not one is true. For he has given up their cause, |
| M:11.1 | peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other | things that seem impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised |
| M:11.2 | or the Word of God is more likely to be true. For they say different | things about the world, and things so opposite that it is pointless |
| M:11.2 | to be true. For they say different things about the world, and | things so opposite that it is pointless to try to reconcile them. God |
| M:13.1 | altogether meaningless, it does have meaning in the world. Like all | things in the world, its meaning is temporary and will ultimately |
| M:13.1 | system can take hold, is that it is a sacrifice to give up the | things of this world. What could this be but an illusion, since this |
| M:13.2 | fame, money, physical pleasure—who is the hero to whom all these | things belong? Could they mean anything except to a body? Yet a body |
| 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:13.3 | identity, and no one doubts what he believes he is. He can doubt all | things but never this. |
| M:13.6 | really hold dear. In one 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 |
| M:14.2 | to Him in silence to receive His Word. The world will end when all | things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. The world will |
| M:15.1 | judgment that will set him free. This is the judgment in which all | things are freed with him. Time pauses as eternity comes near, and |
| M:16.6 | of peace, a thought of limitless release—limitless because all | things are freed within it. You think you made a place of safety for |
| M:16.6 | You think you made a power that can save you from all the fearful | things you see in dreams. It is not so. Your safety lies not there. |

| Tx:1.34 | His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must | think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is. |
| Tx:2.42 | The Atonement is a total commitment. You still | think this is associated with loss. This is the same mistake all the |
| Tx:2.73 | that you are responsible for what you do but not for what you | think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think |
| Tx:2.73 | what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you | think because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. |
| Tx:2.74 | What you do comes from what you | think. You cannot separate yourself from the truth by “giving” |
| Tx:2.74 | This is controlled by me automatically as soon as you place what you | think under my guidance. Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign |
| Tx:2.78 | Second, you can behave as you | think you should but without entirely willing to do so. This produces |
| Tx:2.88 | you say, “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 |
| Tx:2.89 | You do not expect to grow when you say it, because you do not really | think that you will. |
| Tx:2.90 | They even try to “free” the patient by persuading him that he can | think whatever he wants without any real effect at all. |
| Tx:2.91 | cost of rendering thinking impotent. If you believe that what you | think is ineffectual you may cease to be overly afraid of it, but you |
| Tx:2.94 | Men are not used to miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to | think that way. All miracle workers need that kind of training. I |
| Tx:2.108 | healing rather than a meting out of punishment, however much man may | think that punishment is deserved. Punishment is a concept in total |
| Tx:4.12 | anxiety. I will teach with you and live with you if you will | think with me, but my goal will always be to absolve you finally from |
| Tx:4.14 | to set your learning limits for you. Once again—nothing you do or | think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth. This |
| Tx:4.57 | and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. | Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have thought |
| Tx:4.57 | have thought and what you have not thought that God would have you | think. Search sincerely for what you have done and left undone |
| Tx:4.57 | have done and left undone accordingly, and then change your minds to | think with God's. |
| Tx:4.58 | This may seem hard to you, but it is much easier than trying to | think against it. Your mind is one with God's. Denying this and |
| Tx:4.64 | your ego away and releasing the strength of God into everything you | think and will and do. Do not settle for anything less than this, and |
| Tx:4.66 | and I have called you to join with me in the second. If you will | think over your lives, you will see how carefully the preparations |
| Tx:4.105 | and that of others if in a situation calling for healing you | think of it this way: |
| Tx:5.1 | To heal is to make happy. I have told you before to | think how many opportunities you have to gladden yourselves and how |
| Tx:5.6 | If you | think about it, you will see that, while this kind of thinking is |
| Tx:5.9 | It is the blessing of miracle-mindedness. It asks that you may | think as I thought, joining with me in Christ-thinking. |
| Tx:5.30 | to the Holy Spirit, I could come to provide the model for how to | think. Psychology has become the study of behavior, but no one denies |
| Tx:5.57 | that can create like the Father, because only the complete can | think completely, and the thinking of God lacks nothing. Everything |
| Tx:5.57 | completely, and the thinking of God lacks nothing. Everything you | think that is not through the Holy Spirit is lacking. |
| Tx:5.63 | capable of creating reality. We said before that you must learn to | think with God. To think with Him is to think like Him. This |
| Tx:5.63 | reality. We said before that you must learn to think with God. To | think with Him is to think like Him. This engenders joy, not guilt, |
| Tx:5.63 | that you must learn to think with God. To think with Him is to | think like Him. This engenders joy, not guilt, because it is natural. |
| Tx:5.67 | What you have made can always be changed, because when you do not | think like God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional ideas |
| Tx:5.67 | comes from God and is in God. As part of His Thought, you cannot | think apart from Him. |
| Tx:5.68 | that you do not know this. They also show that you believe you can | think apart from God and want to. Every thought disorder is attended |
| Tx:5.92 | Why should you listen to the endless insane calls which you | think are made upon you when you know the Voice of God Himself is in |
| Tx:6.24 | this, you still believe it. This is not as God thinks, and you must | think as He thinks if you are to know Him again. |
| Tx:6.25 | that keeps it going. The reason, however, may not be as clear as you | think. |
| Tx:6.33 | Because your minds are split, you can also perceive as well as | think. Yet perception cannot escape from the basic laws of mind. You |
| Tx:6.61 | your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever. Many | think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished |
| Tx:6.62 | and therefore not of the Kingdom. The body is the symbol of what you | think you are. It is clearly a separation device and therefore does |
| Tx:6.77 | You are not asked to make insane decisions, although you are free to | think you are. It must, however, be insane to believe that it is up |
| Tx:7.6 | To | think like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to |
| Tx:7.48 | contradicts the changelessness of mind as God created it, but you | think that you have changed it as long as you learn through the ego. |
| Tx:7.48 | the Holy Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must | think he can, or he would not perceive himself as sick. He therefore |
| Tx:7.61 | His Kingdom. The only reason you find this difficult is because you | think there is something else. Belief does not require vigilance |
| Tx:7.72 | of it in you. Every response you make is determined by what you | think you are, and what you want to be is what you think you are. |
| Tx:7.72 | by what you think you are, and what you want to be is what you | think you are. Therefore, what you want to be determines every |
| Tx:7.79 | If you will to separate yourself from God, that is what you will | think others are doing to you. |
| Tx:8.19 | will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you | think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in |
| Tx:8.19 | treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will | think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find |
| Tx:8.29 | Do you not | think the world needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to |
| Tx:8.48 | powerless only in a way that has no meaning at all.] When you | think you are unwilling to will with God, you are not thinking. God's |
| Tx:8.77 | how you feel, because you have accepted the ego's confusion, and you | think that a learning device can tell you how you feel. Sickness is |
| Tx:8.94 | The only source of fear in this whole process can only be what you | think you lose. Yet it is only what the Holy Spirit sees that you can |
| Tx:9.5 | you teach you learn? Your brother is as right as you are, and if you | think he is wrong, you are condemning yourself. |
| Tx:9.10 | or you would not make them. It would merely be further error to | think either that you do not make them or that you can correct them |
| Tx:9.65 | You know from your own experience that what you see in dreams you | think is real as long as you are asleep. Yet the instant you waken, |
| Tx:9.65 | everything that seemed to happen did not happen at all. You do not | think this mysterious, even though all the laws of what you awakened |
| Tx:9.74 | change your reality? No one can will to destroy himself. When you | think you are attacking yourself, it is a sure sign that you hate |
| Tx:9.74 | you are attacking yourself, it is a sure sign that you hate what you | think you are. And this, and only this, can be attacked by you. What |
| Tx:9.74 | you are. And this, and only this, can be attacked by you. What you | think you are can be hateful, and what this strange image makes you |
| Tx:9.78 | are willing to keep it hidden and to protect this idol, which you | think will save you from the dangers which the idol itself stands |
| Tx:9.81 | them and serve them, because you believe that they made you. You | think they are your father because you are projecting onto them the |
| Tx:9.85 | worship him in whatever form he may appear to you and wherever you | think you see him, he will disappear into the nothingness out of |
| Tx:9.93 | is with what is not. No one can really do this, but that you can | think you can and believe you have is beyond dispute. |
| Tx:9.96 | 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 god |
| Tx:9.99 | He does not retaliate, but He does call to you to return. When you | think He has not answered your call, you have not answered His. He |
| Tx:10.20 | protection, but only because your care is a sign that you want Him. | Think like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a |
| Tx:10.75 | for you, He will restore what you have thrown away. As long as you | think you know its meaning, you will see no need to ask it of Him. |
| Tx:10.80 | Realize that you are afraid of His specificity for fear of what you | think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you learn that |
| 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 insistence should |
| Tx:11.31 | You are at odds with the world as you perceive it because you | think it is antagonistic to you. This is a necessary consequence of |
| Tx:11.66 | you will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you will | think they are the same because you want them both. The mind always |
| Tx:11.68 | When you | think you are projecting what you do not want, it is still because |
| Tx:11.70 | anything, nor can you really receive anything else from them. If you | think you have received anything else, it is because you have looked |
| Tx:11.75 | have been treacherous to God and therefore deserve death. You will | think that death comes from God and not from the ego because, by |
| Tx:12.10 | you look upon your hatred and realize its full extent. You may also | think that it would be easy enough for the Holy Spirit to show it to |
| Tx:12.13 | to the call of love if you heard it, and the whole world you | think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then, seems to be |
| Tx:12.14 | You have built your whole insane belief system because you | think you would be helpless in God's Presence, and you would save |
| Tx:12.14 | Presence, and you would save yourself from His love because you | think it would crush you into nothingness. You are afraid it would |
| Tx:12.14 | that magnitude lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You | think you have made a world which God would destroy; and by loving |
| Tx:12.24 | is hell and oblivion, and the real Heaven is the greatest threat you | think you could experience. For hell and oblivion are ideas which you |
| Tx:12.69 | not know and your advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you | think you need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the |
| Tx:13.5 | possible even here. Help Him to give His gift of light to all who | think they wander in the darkness, and let Him gather them into His |
| Tx:13.13 | the past, the future will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you | think is yours. The power of your valuing will make it so. |
| Tx:13.34 | we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone can even | think on it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt melts |
| Tx:13.52 | yourselves the task of sharing what cannot be shared. And while you | think it possible to learn to do this, you will not believe all that |
| Tx:13.69 | he does this or does it not will make no difference; you will | think he does. It is impossible to offer what you do not want without |
| Tx:13.71 | He can do nothing that can hurt you, and by refusing to allow him to | think he can, you teach him that the Atonement, which you have |
| Tx:13.73 | those who believe they are guilty will respond to guilt because they | think it is salvation and will not refuse to see it and side with it. |
| Tx:13.78 | what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will | think you know alone and will decide against your peace as surely as |
| Tx:13.83 | Whenever you are in doubt what you should do, | think of His Presence in you and tell yourself this and only this: |
| Tx:13.87 | you attain with God beside you. For until you do, you will still | think that you are separate from Him. You can feel His Presence next |
| Tx:14.15 | Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace on all who | think they are outside. Cast no one out, for this is what he seeks, |
| Tx:14.20 | separate from God, but He perceives much in your mind that lets you | think you are. All this, and nothing else, would He separate from |
| Tx:14.49 | this is true about the thoughts which cross the mind of those who | think they live apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while |
| 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 rests |
| Tx:14.61 | understanding, for if you do, you contradict the light and thereby | think you see the darkness. Yet darkness cannot be seen, for it is |
| Tx:14.63 | wholly free 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 |
| Tx:14.63 | around you. The absence of perfect peace means but one thing: you | think you do not will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. |
| Tx:14.68 | willing to acknowledge that it is impossible. It is only because you | think that you can run some little part or deal with certain aspects |
| Tx:14.69 | Do you | think that what the Holy Spirit would have you give He would withhold |
| Tx:14.72 | their motivation for learning by thinking they already know. | Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect |
| Tx:14.73 | for this, it must be peace they want and nothing else. Whenever you | think you know, peace will depart from you because you have abandoned |
| Tx:14.75 | from which they both arise, is yours as surely as it is His. You | think you know Him not only because, alone, it is impossible to know |
| Tx:15.10 | aid to happiness and peace. Take this very instant, now, and | think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here out |
| Tx:15.24 | remember this: Every decision which you make stems from what you | think you are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. |
| Tx:15.33 | to grasp for peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet | think not you can substitute your plan for His. Rather, join with me |
| Tx:15.34 | is in him. For where you would help your brother be, there will you | think you are. Hear not his call for hell and littleness, but only |
| Tx:15.36 | it far from you. By so much as you want it will you bring it nearer. | Think not that you can find salvation in your own way and have it. |
| Tx:15.41 | yourself alone. For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you | think you find a way to keep what you would have alone and share what |
| Tx:15.55 | Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created it | |
| Tx:15.59 | calls on God for love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you | think that, by God's answer to him, your hope of answer is |
| Tx:15.75 | remember this—to be with a body is not communication. And if you | think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and will be |
| Tx:15.75 | you will be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you | think that your minds must be kept private or you will lose them, and |
| Tx:15.82 | Think but an instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure | |
| Tx:15.86 | is impossible to recognize as wholly without gratification what you | think you want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the |
| Tx:15.87 | ego would limit everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you | think it has a purpose, you will choose to utilize the means by which |
| Tx:15.95 | to be host to the ego or hostage to God. This is the choice you | think you have, and the decision which you believe that you must make. |
| Tx:15.97 | ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you | think and purchase peace. And the payment does not seem to be yours. |
| Tx:15.97 | that the ego, which you invited, is treacherous only to those who | think they are its host. The ego will never let you perceive this, |
| Tx:15.98 | with the idea of being able to be neither completely. And this you | think saves you from God, Whose total love would completely destroy |
| Tx:15.99 | You | think that everyone outside yourself demands your sacrifice, but you |
| Tx:15.101 | would bargain with them for a few special relationships in which you | think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer to keep apart |
| Tx:16.8 | You will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will | think that, by meeting the needs of one, you do not jeopardize |
| Tx:16.10 | You still | think holiness is difficult because you cannot see how it can be |
| Tx:16.11 | is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the whole to what you | think you might be better able to understand. For this is but another |
| Tx:16.11 | keep understanding to yourself. A better and far more helpful way to | think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part |
| Tx:16.14 | You | think your lack of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are |
| Tx:16.16 | just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that you | think you know. But it was never true. What gain is there to you in |
| Tx:16.20 | and let it work in peace. Have faith in what has faith in you. | Think what you have really seen and heard and recognize it. Can you |
| Tx:16.29 | Your bridge is builded stronger than you | think, and your foot is planted firmly on it. Have no fear that the |
| Tx:16.36 | It is essential that we look very closely at exactly what it is you | think you can do to solve the dilemma, which seems very real to you, |
| Tx:16.52 | relationship as a triumph over God, would you want it? Let us not | think of its fearful nature nor of the guilt it must entail nor of |
| Tx:16.52 | out in the special relationship. Through the death of your self, you | think you can attack another self and snatch it from the other to |
| Tx:16.52 | the self which you despise. And you despise it because you do not | think it offers the specialness which you demand. And hating it, you |
| Tx:16.53 | How can you grant unlimited power to what you | think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth become to you that |
| Tx:16.53 | [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to look upon it. You | think it safer to endow the little self which you have made with |
| Tx:16.68 | join it, it will join with you and become one with you. And you will | think in glad astonishment that for all this you gave up nothing! The |
| Tx:16.71 | you change the past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you | think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to |
| Tx:16.71 | you are maintaining the illusion that it has not gone because you | think it serves some purpose that you want fulfilled. And it must |
| Tx:17.2 | wish to change reality that is fearful, because by your wish you | think you have accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a |
| Tx:17.5 | Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and learn what truth | |
| Tx:17.15 | They represent the evil that you | think was done to you. You bring them with you only that you may |
| Tx:17.15 | return evil for evil, hoping that their witness will enable you to | think guiltily of another and not harm yourself. They speak so |
| Tx:17.33 | without the picture you cannot have. Defenses operate to make you | think you can. |
| Tx:17.37 | picture, you will realize that it was only the frame that made you | think it was a picture. Without the frame, the picture is seen as |
| Tx:17.51 | You are very new in the ways of salvation and | think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but think not this is |
| Tx:17.51 | of salvation and think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but | think not this is loss. In your newness, remember that you have |
| Tx:17.52 | joined with many in the holy instant, and they have joined with you. | Think not your choice will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has |
| Tx:17.55 | holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you. | Think you not the goal itself will gladly arrange the means for its |
| Tx:17.71 | Yet | think on this, and learn the cause of faithlessness: You think you |
| Tx:17.71 | Yet think on this, and learn the cause of faithlessness: You | think you hold against the other what he has done to you. But what |
| Tx:17.78 | crucifixion of the Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him. | Think carefully before you let yourself use faithlessness against |
| Tx:18.6 | loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you really | think it strange that a world in which everything is backwards and |
| Tx:18.14 | Does not a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet | think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you saw before |
| Tx:18.21 | blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. | Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has given |
| Tx:18.21 | that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has given you. And | think not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses |
| Tx:18.22 | 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 are so used to choosing |
| Tx:18.26 | your fear increases, for there is little doubt that what you | think it means is fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel surely |
| Tx:18.36 | to confuse your role with God's. Atonement cannot come to those who | think that they must first atone, but only to those who offer it |
| Tx:18.36 | for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself for Him, try to | think thus: |
| Tx:18.50 | a body cannot be guilty, for it can do nothing of itself. You who | think you hate your bodies deceive yourselves. You hate your minds, |
| Tx:18.71 | limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. | Think not that this is merely allegorical, for it was made to limit |
| Tx:18.71 | identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot even | think of God without a body or some form you think you recognize. |
| Tx:18.71 | itself. You cannot even think of God without a body or some form you | think you recognize. |
| Tx:18.73 | the sun; this almost imperceptible ripple hails itself as the ocean. | Think how alone and frightened is this little thought, this |
| Tx:18.77 | and deep content to every part. The little aspect which you | think you set apart is no exception. |
| Tx:18.85 | This is the little part of you, you | think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven. Heaven has not |
| Tx:18.85 | of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you | think surrounds it. Be you not separate, for the One Who does |
| Tx:19.8 | to it, making it sick because of its identification with it. You | think you are protecting the body by hiding this connection, for this |
| Tx:19.16 | how not to interfere with it and make it slave to time. For what you | think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His |
| Tx:19.24 | with the ego that it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet | think you carefully before you allow yourself to make this choice. |
| Tx:19.26 | The ego does not | think it possible that love, not fear, is really called upon by sin |
| Tx:19.26 | true must be eternal and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you | think is real you want and will not let it go. An error, on the other |
| Tx:19.41 | Why would you want peace homeless? What do you | think that it must dispossess to dwell with you? What seems to be the |
| Tx:19.58 | To | think you could be satisfied and happy with so little is to hurt |
| Tx:19.60 | This [is] the value that you | think peace would rob you of. This is what you believe that it would |
| Tx:19.65 | upon each 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, |
| Tx:19.66 | joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will answer. | Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the end of |
| Tx:19.69 | which called them forth and therefore is compatible with them. But | think you which it is that is compatible with you. |
| Tx:19.70 | it is free. But all that lies in it will come with it, and what you | think you are can never be apart from it. The body is the great |
| Tx:19.70 | and disillusionment and for retaliative attack on what you | think has failed you? Use not your error as the justification for |
| Tx:19.85 | life. And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of God and | think it real? |
| Tx:19.90 | What would you see without the fear of death? What would you feel and | think if death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would |
| Tx:19.104 | the sins your brother thinks he has committed and all the guilt you | think you see in him. |
| Tx:19.105 | which we will return until redemption is accomplished and received. | Think who your brother is before you would condemn him. And offer |
| Tx:19.109 | Think carefully how you would look upon the giver of this gift, for | |
| Tx:20.5 | or for its use. See all the useless things made for its eyes to see. | Think on the many offerings made for its pleasure and remember all |
| Tx:20.10 | about a while and laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully, nor | think it but a dream—a careless thought to play with or a toy you |
| Tx:20.19 | you and you disappear? You made this up. It is a picture of what you | think you are, of how you see yourself. A murderer is frightened, and |
| Tx:20.33 | For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help. But | think not that He does not need your part to help Him with the rest. |
| Tx:20.34 | This is the purpose given you. | Think not that your forgiveness of each other serves but you two |
| Tx:20.34 | to have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers. | Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest without |
| Tx:20.40 | vision that you will merely love him and be glad. You will not | think to judge him, for who would see the face of Christ and yet |
| Tx:20.60 | it. Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you | think they are impossible, your wanting of the purpose has been |
| Tx:20.68 | is also not of you. Rejoice in what is yours but for the asking and | think not that you need make either means or end. All this is given |
| Tx:20.70 | you laid upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you | think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why |
| Tx:20.77 | after vision, who is there who could refuse what must come after? | Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God |
| Tx:20.77 | —you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And never need you | think that there is something else for you to see. |
| Tx:21.6 | become accustomed to their world by their adjustments to it. They | think they know their way about in it. They learned it, not through |
| Tx:21.6 | They hate the world they learned through pain. And everything they | think is in it serves to remind them that they are incomplete and |
| Tx:21.7 | they define their life and where they live, adjusting to it as they | think they must, afraid to lose the little that they have. And so it |
| Tx:21.7 | the body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to | think if you remember what we will speak of now. |
| Tx:21.21 | threatens this seems to attack your faith, for here is it invested. | Think not that you are faithless, for your belief and trust in this |
| Tx:21.26 | created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And if you | think what you have made can tell you what you see and feel and place |
| Tx:21.26 | your Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you | think the world you made has power to make you what it wills, you are |
| Tx:21.35 | once 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 |
| Tx:21.37 | Those who believe in sin must | think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think |
| Tx:21.37 | must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they | think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows |
| Tx:21.39 | Think you the Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what | |
| Tx:21.39 | with this? He gives not what it is His purpose to lead you from. You | think He would deprive you for your good. But “good” and |
| Tx:21.41 | 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 in |
| Tx:21.45 | the Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be something else. | Think not that this is madness. For this your reason tells you, and |
| Tx:21.50 | beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you will | think the world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your |
| Tx:21.52 | the basic question is obvious, simple, and remains unasked. But | think not reason could not answer it. |
| Tx:21.59 | value them, 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 |
| Tx:21.59 | to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both will | think that you are damned. This you could spare him and yourself. For |
| Tx:21.61 | No one can | think but for himself, as God thinks not without His Son. Only were |
| Tx:21.61 | His Son. Only were both in bodies could this be. Nor could one mind | think only for itself unless the body were the mind. For only bodies |
| Tx:21.63 | The body does not separate you from your brother, and if you | think it does, you are insane. But madness has a purpose and believes |
| Tx:21.63 | part be kept away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But | think what you must recognize if it be so. |
| Tx:21.64 | have him, and what you choose he be is but your choice for you. Yet | think not this is fearful. That you are joined to him is but a fact, |
| Tx:21.83 | Why do you | think you are unsure the others have been answered? Could it be |
| Tx:21.84 | as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on it and | think it real. No thought but has the power to release or kill. And |
| Tx:21.89 | will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your illusions, | think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided how you |
| Tx:22.2 | each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay until they | think there's nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they |
| Tx:22.4 | Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is belief in | |
| Tx:22.6 | And yet this strange idea, which it does accurately describe, you | think is you. Reason would tell you that the world you see through |
| Tx:22.7 | For you have listened to what can never communicate at all. | Think, then, what happened. Denying what you are and firm in faith |
| Tx:22.8 | is the one emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on the self you | think you made to lead you through the world it made for you. |
| Tx:22.12 | Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child will teach you | |
| Tx:22.14 | reborn in just an instant. For what is time to what was always so? | Think what that instant brought—the recognition that the “something |
| Tx:22.39 | way that seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may | think you can go back and make the other choice. This is not so. A |
| Tx:22.40 | your awareness, and peace has reached you even here before the veil. | Think what will happen after! The love of Christ will light your |
| Tx:22.41 | Think of the loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And | |
| Tx:22.41 | Think of the loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And | think how beautiful will each of you look to the other! How happy you |
| Tx:22.53 | Be not disturbed at all to | think how He can change the role of means and end so easily in what |
| Tx:22.60 | And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your will. | Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not |
| Tx:22.61 | could be real. You do not see that this is your attempt because you | think the Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that |
| Tx:22.61 | because you think the Father and the Son are separate. And you must | think that they are separate because of fear. For it seems safer to |
| Tx:22.64 | your minds are one? Look not with fear upon this happy fact and | think not that it lays a heavy burden on you. For when you have |
| Tx:23.2 | fight against 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 |
| Tx:23.4 | you to littleness. There can be no attraction of guilt in innocence. | Think what a happy world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give |
| Tx:23.8 | love there. This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who | think that it is possible, the means seem real. |
| Tx:23.11 | must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body's life, and if you | think you are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet |
| Tx:23.17 | turn on itself and seek to overcome the One Who dwells there? And | think what happens when the house of God perceives itself divided. |
| Tx:23.21 | Think how this seems to interfere with the first principle of | |
| Tx:23.23 | Think what this seems to do to the relationship between the Father | |
| Tx:23.24 | which would define what the Creator of reality must be; what He must | think and what He must believe; and how He must respond, believing |
| Tx:23.26 | 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 wants. |
| Tx:23.29 | it was taken from you by this enemy and hidden where you would not | think to look. He hid it in his body, making it the cover for his |
| Tx:23.35 | says it wants to save. Be not deceived when madness takes a form you | think is lovely. What is intent on your destruction is not your |
| Tx:23.36 | You would maintain and | think it true that you do not believe these senseless laws nor act |
| Tx:23.39 | reversal, leading still deeper into terror and away from truth. | Think not one step is smaller than another nor that return from one |
| Tx:23.46 | desire to communicate and the unnatural intent to murder and to die. | Think you the form that murder takes can offer safety? Can guilt be |
| Tx:23.54 | Think what is given those who share their Father's purpose and who | |
| Tx:23.54 | their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you | think the battleground can offer something that you can win. Can it |
| Tx:23.55 | Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never | think of battle. What could they gain but loss of their perfection? |
| Tx:24.4 | challenge you to combat and to violence far more inclusive than you | think, are there by your election. Do not deny their presence nor |
| Tx:24.9 | makes you give each other only partial welcome or would let you | think that you are better off apart. Is it not always your belief |
| Tx:24.15 | You are not special. If you | think you are and would defend your specialness against the truth of |
| Tx:24.16 | would look upon, and it would show them that the specialness they | think they see is an illusion. What would they see instead? |
| Tx:24.18 | this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all the sins you | think you placed between him and the function of salvation given him |
| Tx:24.19 | Think of the loveliness that you will see within yourself when you | |
| Tx:24.30 | death is not your will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you | think it is. |
| Tx:24.43 | but the sight of death? Where does it lead but to destruction? Yet | think not that it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him |
| Tx:24.56 | and needs no end. What never was is not a part of you. Yet you will | think it is until you realize that it is not a part of him who stands |
| Tx:24.58 | the rest. You place yourself under the laws you see as ruling him. | Think, then, how great the love of God for you must be that He has |
| Tx:24.65 | body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you | think you save, you hurt. What would you save it for? For in that |
| Tx:25.2 | bodies. And as long as they believe they are in bodies, where they | think they are He cannot be. And so they carry Him unknowingly and do |
| Tx:25.6 | to be—the world you want to live in and the state in which you | think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you |
| Tx:25.6 | think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you | think your safety lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you |
| Tx:25.10 | takes note of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you | think that part of you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined |
| Tx:25.12 | that what the body's eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you | think you find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy to |
| Tx:25.17 | that will endure forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But | think you not the picture is destroyed in any way. What God creates |
| Tx:25.18 | which but reflects the light that shines from it to its Creator. | Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame |
| Tx:25.31 | but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to | think he can be hurt. What could this be except a misperception of |
| Tx:25.33 | at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” And while you | think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long will they be |
| Tx:25.35 | Would you not do this for the love of God? And for yourself? For | think what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you |
| Tx:25.38 | wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to | think it must be guilty to deserve the wish and leave him innocent? |
| Tx:25.40 | he would have found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But | think not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless |
| Tx:25.48 | not imposed on you; its values are not yours. [And nothing that you | think you see in it is really there at all.] And this is seen and |
| Tx:25.49 | Holy Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled. | Think not you lack a special value here. You wanted it, and it is |
| Tx:25.52 | Let us go back to what we said before and | think of it more carefully. It must be so that either God is mad or |
| Tx:25.53 | your Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved Son do not | think differently. And it is the agreement of their thought that |
| Tx:25.53 | must lie apart from both the Father and the Son. This you believe. | Think not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks |
| Tx:25.56 | to your special needs and to the special time and place in which you | think you find yourself and where you can be free of place and time |
| Tx:25.69 | So do they | think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy |
| Tx:25.70 | are innocent. Love is not understandable to sinners because they | think that justice is split off from love and stands for something |
| Tx:25.71 | and vitality and powerless to save? What can Love ask of you who | think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in love |
| Tx:25.78 | What can it be but arrogance to | think your little errors cannot be undone by Heaven's justice? And |
| Tx:25.85 | Unless you | think that all your brothers have an equal right to miracles with |
| Tx:26.3 | placed on everything outside, just as they are on everything you | think is yours. For giving and receiving are the same. And to accept |
| Tx:26.7 | 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 not |
| Tx:26.11 | The Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you | think you have. They are the same to Him because each one, regardless |
| Tx:26.12 | This one mistake in any form has one correction. There is no loss; to | think there is, is a mistake. You have no problems, though you think |
| Tx:26.12 | to think there is, is a mistake. You have no problems, though you | think you have. And yet you could not think so if you saw them vanish |
| Tx:26.12 | have no problems, though you think you have. And yet you could not | think so if you saw them vanish one by one without regard to size, |
| Tx:26.12 | which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. | Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any |
| Tx:26.15 | and necessary to preserve yourself. It is these problems that you | think are great and cannot be resolved. For there are those you want |
| Tx:26.16 | Think then how great your own release will be when you are willing to | |
| Tx:26.31 | when it can be used to reach a goal as high as learning can achieve? | Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all. Nothing you |
| Tx:26.33 | maze you still perceive in time, though it has long since gone. You | think you live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but |
| Tx:26.45 | Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you | think is friend obscures His grace and majesty from you and keeps His |
| Tx:26.68 | different forms. If it has been projected beyond your minds, you | think of it as time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the |
| Tx:26.68 | of it as time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the more you | think of it in terms of space. |
| Tx:26.69 | believe that trust would settle every problem now. Thus do you | think it safer to remain a little careful and a little watchful of |
| Tx:26.69 | conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers now. The interval you | think lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift seems to |
| Tx:26.77 | Think but how holy you must be from whom the Voice for God calls | |
| Tx:26.77 | that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your call! And | think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own salvation with |
| Tx:26.85 | have a differential view of when attack is justified and when you | think it is unfair and not to be allowed. When you perceive it as |
| Tx:26.85 | is unfair and not to be allowed. When you perceive it as unfair, you | think that a response of anger now is just. And thus you see what is |
| Tx:26.86 | unfair to you? It means that there must be some forms in which you | think it fair. For otherwise, how could some be evaluated as unfair? |
| Tx:26.89 | You | think your brother is unfair to you because you think that one must |
| Tx:26.89 | You think your brother is unfair to you because you | think that one must be unfair to make the other innocent. And in this |
| Tx:27.16 | of witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or | think but testifies to what you teach to him. |
| Tx:27.23 | Correction, to 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, |
| Tx:27.24 | seems to have a different purpose from the one you cherish and you | think is yours. Thus does your function seem divided, with a half in |
| Tx:27.25 | two. And what you would correct is only half the error, which you | think is all of it. Your brother's sins become the central target for |
| Tx:27.59 | is past forgiveness and is true. How foolish and insane it is to | think a miracle is bound by laws which it came solely to undo! The |
| Tx:27.64 | of what I do. Your presence justifies my wrath, and you exist and | think apart from me. While you attack, I must be innocent. And what I |
| Tx:27.73 | more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him | think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war |
| Tx:27.82 | understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to | think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is |
| Tx:27.83 | see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that now you | think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you |
| Tx:27.84 | truth—you will believe that others do to you exactly what you | think you did to them. But once deluded into blaming them, you will |
| Tx:28.38 | you fear and not the mind. You see them as the same because you | think that you are but a dream. And what is real and what is but |
| Tx:28.39 | his illusion of himself, for your identity depends on his reality. | Think rather of him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but |
| Tx:28.49 | fearing it, you will not want to know your own Identity because you | think that it is fearful. And you will deny your Self and walk upon |
| Tx:28.50 | understand or know. Its eyes are blind; its ears are deaf. It cannot | think, and so it cannot have effects. |
| Tx:28.57 | own and all the rest of what is really yours. You hate it, yet you | think it is your self and that without it would your self be lost. |
| Tx:28.64 | you alone. This world is but the dream that you can be alone and | think without affecting those apart from you. To be alone must mean |
| Tx:29.2 | consequence the little gap must bring to those who cherish it and | think that it is their salvation and their hope. |
| Tx:29.5 | not within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now you | think that it determines when you meet and limits your ability to |
| Tx:29.20 | not know he has, for giving is the proof of having. Only those who | think that God is lessened by their strength could fail to understand |
| Tx:29.21 | Think you the Father lost Himself when He created you? Was He made | |
| Tx:29.26 | The dreams you | think you like would hold you back as much as those in which the fear |
| Tx:29.28 | this become the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you | think you like are those in which the functions you have given have |
| Tx:29.28 | should represent and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, you | think you like the dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is |
| Tx:29.28 | If it succeeds, you think you like the dream. If it should fail, you | think the dream is sad. But whether it succeeds or fails is not its |
| Tx:29.31 | are They remembered both. And where They are is Heaven and is peace. | Think not that you can change Their dwelling place. For your Identity |
| Tx:29.40 | where purpose is not fixed, however changeless it appears to be. | Think not that you can set a goal unlike God's purpose for you and |
| Tx:29.42 | bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only if you | think that it was made to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a |
| Tx:29.52 | What is an idol? Do you | think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and never seen for |
| Tx:29.64 | the world and give their toys the power to move about and talk and | think and feel and speak for them. Yet everything their toys appear |
| Tx:30.2 | and dedication weak, you are not ready. Do not fight yourself. But | think about the kind of day you want and tell yourself there is a way |
| Tx:30.7 | 2. Throughout the day, at any time you | think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself |
| Tx:30.30 | may be free. There is no freedom from what must occur. And if you | think there is, you must be wrong. |
| Tx:30.36 | For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God Himself. | Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator of the |
| Tx:30.41 | It never is the idol that you want. But what you | think it offers you, you want indeed and have the right to ask for. |
| Tx:30.43 | nor have they a separate life apart from his. The thoughts you | think are in your mind, as you are in the mind Which thought of you. |
| Tx:30.49 | ones. All idols are the false ideas you made to fill the gap you | think arose between yourself and what is true. And you attack them |
| Tx:30.49 | yourself and what is true. And you attack them for the things you | think they represent. What lies beyond them cannot be attacked. |
| Tx:30.63 | at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look back and | think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely |
| Tx:30.66 | Do not look back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, | think of this: |
| Tx:30.73 | But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The mind must | think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your |
| Tx:30.73 | have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you | think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your brother |
| Tx:30.75 | idols and are not prepared as yet to let all idols go. And thus you | think that some appearances are real and not appearances at all. Be |
| Tx:30.75 | are harder to look past than others are. It always means you | think forgiveness must be limited. And you have set a goal of partial |
| Tx:30.78 | is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know him if you | think he does not merit the escape from guilt in all its forms and |
| Tx:30.78 | guilt in all its forms and all its consequence. There is no way to | think of him but this if you would know the truth about yourself: |
| Tx:30.82 | each one be open to interpretation which is different every time you | think of it. You add an element into the script you write for every |
| Tx:30.83 | on different aspects of experience. And then in looking back you | think you see another meaning in what went before. What have you |
| Tx:30.89 | you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you | think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of |
| Tx:31.14 | And by your wish, you set two choices to be made each time you | think you must decide on anything. Neither is true. Nor are they |
| Tx:31.16 | Perhaps you call it love. Perhaps you | think that it is murder justified at last. You hate the one you gave |
| Tx:31.16 | And this is what you made your brother for and learned to | think that this his purpose is. Unless he serves it, he has not |
| Tx:31.18 | Before you answer, pause to | think of this: |
| Tx:31.21 | and answer to the Christ Who calls to you. Be still and listen. | Think not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you |
| Tx:31.23 | would be 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 |
| Tx:31.25 | clear that while you still insist on leading or on following, you | think you walk alone with no one by your side? This is the road to |
| Tx:31.30 | which sin must kill. In death is sin preserved, and those who | think that they are sin must die for what they think they are. |
| Tx:31.30 | and those who think that they are sin must die for what they | think they are. |
| Tx:31.31 | nor keep in chains to the illusion of a changing love the ones you | think are friends. |
| Tx:31.33 | There is a tendency to | think the world can offer consolation and escape from problems which |
| Tx:31.33 | And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you | think within the narrow band from birth to death a little time is |
| Tx:31.39 | Think not that happiness is ever found by following a road away from | |
| Tx:31.42 | from yourself does not exist. How foolish and insane it is to | think that there could be a road with such an aim! Where could it go? |
| Tx:31.51 | you. For 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 |
| Tx:31.52 | attacks it so? Let us forget the concept's foolishness and merely | think of this—there are two parts to what you think yourself to be. |
| Tx:31.52 | and merely think of this—there are two parts to what you | think yourself to be. If one was generated by your brother, who was |
| Tx:31.53 | must be kept in darkness is that in the light the one who would not | think it true is you. And what would happen to the world you know if |
| Tx:31.56 | the mind, but with the simple statement that it thinks. And what can | think has choice and can be shown that different thoughts have |
| Tx:31.62 | but this one. What you decide in this determines all you see and | think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your |
| Tx:31.65 | forever true. It matters not where you believe you are nor what you | think the truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference |
| Tx:31.65 | no difference what you look upon nor what you choose to feel or | think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it |
| Tx:31.67 | Your will be done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter if you | think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can |
| Tx:31.71 | but never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you | think, for you will love this concept of yourself because it was not |
| Tx:31.81 | and meaningless, to make yourself a thing which you are not. And | think as well upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing |
| Tx:31.86 | and the strength of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you | think is real. Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions, |
| W1:I.1 | nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the mind to | think along the lines which the course sets forth. |
| W1:4.1 | subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select only the thoughts you | think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to look at your |
| W1:5.1 | preceding one, can be used with any person, situation, or event you | think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you |
| W1:5.3 | I am not angry at ____ for the reason I | think. I am not afraid of ____ for the reason I think. |
| W1:5.3 | for the reason I think. I am not afraid of ____ for the reason I | think. |
| W1:5.4 | “sources” of upset in which you believe and forms of upset which you | think result. |
| W1:5.7 | is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you | think it is doing so. |
| W1:5.8 | to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If this occurs, | think first of this: |
| W1:5.11 | I am not worried about ____ for the reason I | think. I am not depressed about ____ for the reason I think. |
| W1:5.11 | the reason I think. I am not depressed about ____ for the reason I | think. |
| W1:7.6 | It is the reason why you are never upset for the reason you | think. |
| W1:8.2 | true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To | think about it at all is therefore to think about illusions. Very few |
| W1:8.2 | is that it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to | think about illusions. Very few minds have realized what is actually |
| W1:10.2 | around you. The emphasis is now on the lack of reality of what you | think you think. |
| W1:10.2 | The emphasis is now on the lack of reality of what you think you | think. |
| W1:10.3 | a blank. To recognize this is to recognize nothingness when you | think you see it. As such, it is the prerequisite for vision. |
| W1:12.1 | that it contains a correction for a major perceptual distortion. You | think that what upsets you is a frightening world, or a sad world, or |
| W1:12.4 | I | think I see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a |
| W1:12.5 | than negative occur to you, include them. For example, you might | think of a “good world,” or a “satisfying world.” If such terms occur |
| W1:12.6 | alter the time intervals between applying today's idea to what you | think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant. For the purposes |
| W1:12.6 | applying today's idea to what you think is pleasant and what you | think is unpleasant. For the purposes of these exercises, there is no |
| W1:13.1 | meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you will not | think you perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary, |
| W1:13.1 | has no meaning. On the contrary, you will be particularly likely to | think you do perceive it. |
| W1:13.7 | A meaningless world engenders fear because I | think I am in competition with God. |
| W1:13.8 | Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and try not even to | think of it except during the exercise periods. That will suffice at |
| W1:14.4 | With eyes closed, | think of all the horrors in the world that cross your mind. Name each |
| W1:15.1 | It is because the thoughts you | think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as |
| W1:15.1 | It is because the thoughts you think you | think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You |
| W1:15.1 | appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You | think you think them, and so you think you see them. This is how your |
| W1:15.1 | as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You think you | think them, and so you think you see them. This is how your “seeing” |
| W1:15.1 | not recognize them as nothing. You think you think them, and so you | think you see them. This is how your “seeing” was made. This is the |
| W1:17.1 | the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you | think. If it were not so, perception would have no cause and would |
| W1:23.4 | cause is gone? Vision already holds a replacement for everything you | think you see now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform |
| W1:26.4 | thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you | think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your thoughts can prove |
| W1:30.4 | “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to | think of things beyond your present range as well as those you can |
| W1:35.2 | You will believe that you are part of where you | think you are. That is because you surround yourself with the |
| W1:35.8 | You should not | think of these terms in an abstract way. They will occur to you as |
| W1:35.10 | intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to | think up specific things to fill the interval, but merely relax and |
| W1:38.3 | problems, difficulties, or suffering in any form that you happen to | think of in yourself or someone else. We will make no distinctions |
| W1:39.1 | which has been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you | think you think. |
| W1:39.1 | been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think you | think. |
| W1:41.5 | period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to | think of anything. Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past |
| W1:41.8 | often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes closed. | Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. Concentrate on the |
| W1:42.4 | eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to | think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to |
| W1:42.4 | thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's idea. You might | think, for example: |
| W1:43.3 | apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you | think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to |
| W1:43.3 | God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you think, you | think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to the extent |
| W1:43.11 | out of accord with today's idea, or if you seem to be unable to | think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then |
| W1:44.1 | darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make darkness and then | think you see in it, but light reflects life and is therefore an |
| W1:44.10 | that you are approaching if not actually entering into light. Try to | think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the |
| W1:45.1 | the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you | think you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to |
| W1:45.1 | to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you | think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in |
| W1:45.1 | They are nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you | think you see is related to vision in any way. There is no |
| W1:45.1 | any way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you | think is real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts |
| W1:45.1 | between what is real and what you think is real. Nothing that you | think are your real thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any |
| W1:45.1 | resembles your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you | think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you. |
| W1:45.2 | You | think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your thoughts with |
| W1:45.2 | To share is to make alike or to make one. Nor do the thoughts you | think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not |
| W1:50.4 | let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, | think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its |
| W1:R1.3 | periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the central point and | think about it as part of your review of the idea to which it relates. |
| W1:51.2 | is necessary that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I | think I see now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by |
| W1:51.5 | of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to | think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real |
| W1:51.5 | are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I | think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my |
| W1:51.5 | My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I | think with God. |
| W1:51.6 | [5] I am never upset for the reason I | think. I am never upset for the reason I think because I am |
| W1:51.6 | upset for the reason I think. I am never upset for the reason I | think because I am constantly trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am |
| W1:54.3 | [17] I see no neutral things. What I see witnesses to what I | think. If I did not think, I would not exist, because life is |
| W1:54.3 | neutral things. What I see witnesses to what I think. If I did not | think, I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the |
| W1:54.5 | the 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 |
| W1:54.5 | 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 in anything. It is |
| W1:55.5 | recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I | think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world |
| W1:56.3 | all else I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I | think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I |
| W1:59.4 | Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I | think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to |
| W1:59.6 | [45] God is the Mind with which I | think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts |
| W1:61.4 | You will want to | think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect |
| W1:61.7 | Then | think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your |
| W1:64.2 | the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you | think of as your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of |
| W1:66.7 | thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, then, | think about the premises for a while, as we are practicing. |
| W1:66.11 | Think about this during the longer practice period today. Think also | |
| W1:66.11 | Think about this during the longer practice period today. | Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your function |
| W1:66.12 | listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as you | think about the premises on which our conclusion rests. We can share |
| W1:66.16 | than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words slowly and | think about them a little while you say them. |
| W1:67.2 | moment, that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we will | think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable |
| W1:68.2 | make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you | think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as |
| W1:68.5 | Perhaps you do not | think you can let all your grievances go. That, however, is simply a |
| W1:68.6 | as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy to find. Then | think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you |
| W1:68.6 | seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and even | think you love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one |
| W1:68.9 | Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to | think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and |
| W1:69.4 | go of all the content which generally occupies your consciousness. | Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy |
| W1:70.13 | pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. If it helps you, | think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this |
| W1:74.9 | difficult to resolve, single it out for special consideration. | Think about it briefly but very specifically, identify the particular |
| W1:76.3 | Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all | |
| W1:76.3 | and twisted laws which you have set up to save you. You really | think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper |
| W1:76.3 | stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You really | think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins |
| W1:76.3 | veins through a sharpened needle will ward off death. You really | think you are alone unless another body is with you. |
| W1:76.4 | long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose. You | think you must obey the “laws” of medicine, of economics, and of |
| W1:76.5 | It is from this your “laws” would save the body. It is for this you | think you are a body. |
| W1:76.8 | of medication, and of the body's protection in innumerable ways. | Think further—you believe in the laws of friendship, of “good” |
| W1:76.9 | Perhaps you even | think that there are laws which set forth what is God's and what is |
| W1:78.5 | and look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you | think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but whom |
| W1:78.7 | his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we will | think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.” |
| W1:78.10 | The body's eyes are closed, and as you | think of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the light in him |
| W1:78.12 | behind our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you | think of or remember from the past, allow the role of savior to be |
| W1:79.5 | as you regard them. Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you | think you have resolved the previous ones. Others remain unsolved |
| W1:79.7 | free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we | think we have. We will try to realize that we have only one problem, |
| W1:83.2 | only, I am always certain what to do, what to say, and what to | think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only |
| W1:91.8 | this statement ends is needed for our exercises today. What you | think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you really are must |
| W1:92.1 | The idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not | think of light in terms of strength and darkness in terms of |
| W1:92.2 | and the body's eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain can | think. If you but understood the nature of thought, you could but |
| W1:92.2 | more foolish than to believe the body's eyes can see, the brain can | think. |
| W1:92.3 | that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you | think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that |
| W1:93.1 | You | think you are the home of evil, darkness, and sin. You think if |
| W1:93.1 | You think you are the home of evil, darkness, and sin. You | think if anyone could see the truth about you he would be repelled, |
| W1:93.1 | be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a poisonous snake. You | think if what is true about you were revealed to you, you would be |
| W1:93.3 | Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you | think, but from a very different reference point from which such idle |
| W1:93.4 | would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you | think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that |
| W1:93.4 | in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You | think that this is death, but it is life. You think you are |
| W1:93.4 | the Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You | think you are destroyed, but you are saved. |
| W1:93.5 | this self does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and | think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and |
| W1:93.7 | created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may | think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you |
| W1:96.6 | Yet mind apart from Spirit cannot | think. It has denied its Source of strength and sees itself as |
| W1:96.17 | of it is given everyone who asks for it and will accept the gift. | Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that it be |
| W1:99.10 | This part belongs to God, as does the rest. It does not | think its solitary thoughts and make them real by hiding them from |
| W1:99.12 | Think of these things in practicing today, and start your longer | |
| W1:99.15 | have no function that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one you | think you made. Forgiveness and salvation are the same. Forgive what |
| W1:100.8 | of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God's messengers. | Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that |
| W1:101.1 | suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet you must | think it so while you believe that sin is real and that God's Son can |
| W1:102.1 | You do not want to suffer. You may | think it buys you something and may still believe a little that it |
| W1:102.2 | at all. It offers nothing and does not exist. And everything you | think it offers you is lacking in existence like itself. You have |
| W1:103.2 | then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds that | think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in |
| W1:105.7 | to yourself. And here you must return to claim them as your own. | Think of your “enemies” a little while, and tell each one as he |
| W1:105.11 | your five minutes thus with Him each time you can today, but do not | think that less is worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least |
| W1:107.9 | certain of success as we are sure we live and hope and breathe and | think. We do not doubt we walk with truth today and count on it to |
| W1:108.10 | Then close your eyes, and for five minutes | think of what you would hold out to everyone to have it yours. You |
| W1:108.12 | return, for this is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to | think of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, |
| W1:108.13 | from this time on, and we will make much faster progress now. | Think of the exercises for today as quick advances in your learning, |
| W1:R3.5 | which are written first in each day's exercise. And then begin to | think about them while letting your mind relate them to your needs, |
| W1:R3.11 | you keep your peace throughout the day as well. If you are shaken, | think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you |
| W1:119.2 | [107] Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I | think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's Son whose Self rests |
| W1:121.6 | other Self in you. Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you | think you made and let it disappear. Thus you return your mind as one |
| W1:121.9 | that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one whom you | think of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend. And as |
| W1:122.13 | forgetfulness but hold them firmly in your mind by your attempts to | think of them at least a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by. |
| W1:123.8 | for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you. Remember hourly to | think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son that |
| W1:126.2 | appeals for help are not in any way related to your own. You further | think that they can sin without affecting your perception of |
| W1:126.5 | to let the sinner not escape the justified repayment for his sin. | Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world's salvation to |
| W1:126.7 | Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and | think He has not given them to you. Yet would He ask you for a gift |
| W1:127.1 | Perhaps you | think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think |
| W1:127.1 | you think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you | think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of |
| W1:127.6 | Today we practice making free our minds of all the laws you | think you must obey, of all the limits under which you live, and all |
| W1:127.6 | all the limits under which you live, and all the changes which you | think are part of human destiny. Today we take the largest single |
| W1:127.11 | our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an hour | think of one who makes the journey with you and who came to learn |
| W1:128.8 | Protect your mind throughout the day as well. And when you | think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, |
| W1:129.1 | more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. | Think you this world can offer that to you? |
| W1:129.2 | It might be worth a little time to | think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you will |
| W1:130.4 | Fear has made everything you | think you see. All separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of |
| W1:131.5 | seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive himself, and | think that it is hell he seeks. When he is wrong, he finds |
| W1:131.13 | I ask to see a different world and | think a different kind of thought from those I made. The world I seek |
| W1:131.13 | made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to | think are not my own. |
| W1:131.14 | mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless world you | think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with |
| W1:131.14 | as well which are compatible with such a world and which you | think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy |
| W1:132.2 | change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you | think or ever thought or yet will think. |
| W1:132.2 | the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will | think. |
| W1:132.4 | upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can look on them and | think them real. |
| W1:132.5 | Perhaps you | think you did not make the world but came unwillingly to what was |
| W1:132.6 | into a world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what you | think, and quite apart from what you chance to think it is. |
| W1:132.6 | to what you think, and quite apart from what you chance to | think it is. |
| W1:132.12 | Yet if you are as God created you, you cannot | think apart from Him nor make what does not share His timelessness |
| W1:133.3 | Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things you | think you want. Unless they meet these sound requirements, they are |
| W1:133.12 | thus you do not realize there are but two. And the alternative you | think you chose seems fearful and too dangerous to be the nothingness |
| W1:134.4 | Because you | think your sins are real, you look on pardon as deception. For it is |
| W1:134.4 | are real, 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 |
| W1:134.5 | mocked and twice condemned—first by themselves for what they | think they did and once again by those who pardon them. |
| W1:134.7 | them with quiet eyes and merely says to them, “My brother, what you | think is not the truth.” |
| W1:134.9 | of sin in any form, do not allow your mind to dwell on what you | think he did, for this is self-deception. Ask instead, “Should I |
| W1:135.4 | It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense is made. You | think it offers safety. Yet it speaks of fear made real and terror |
| W1:135.10 | the faults, the weaknesses, the limits, and the lacks from which you | think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate |
| W1:135.16 | is occupied in setting up control of future happenings. It does not | think that it will be provided for unless it makes its own |
| W1:136.3 | recognize exactly what you would attempt to do and then proceed to | think that it is done. |
| W1:136.9 | How do you | think that sickness can succeed in shielding you from truth? Because |
| W1:136.12 | has not bowed to hell, nor life to death. You can but choose to | think you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in any way. |
| W1:136.14 | fact which demonstrates that time is an illusion. For it lets you | think what God has given you is not the truth right now, as it must |
| W1:137.6 | Yet | think not healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ |
| W1:138.1 | because here we believe there are alternatives to choose between. We | think that all things have an opposite, and what we want we choose. |
| W1:138.1 | for contradiction is the way we make what we perceive and what we | think is real. Creation knows no opposite. But here is opposition |
| W1:138.4 | You need to be reminded that you | think a thousand choices are confronting you when there is really |
| W1:R4.3 | My mind holds only what I | think with God. |
| W1:R4.6 | And yet your mind holds only what you | think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. |
| W1:R4.8 | My mind holds only what I | think with God. |
| W1:151.3 | see? You place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears report. You | think your fingers touch reality and close upon the truth. This is |
| W1:151.3 | and close upon the truth. This is awareness which you understand and | think more real than what is witnessed to by the eternal Voice of God |
| W1:152.1 | his choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve nor fear nor | think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he wants. And no |
| W1:152.6 | Is it not strange that you believe to | think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of |
| W1:152.6 | within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to | think He made a world where such things seem to have reality. He is |
| W1:152.7 | To | think that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites |
| W1:152.7 | things are not of Him. And can you see what God created not? To | think you can is merely to believe you can perceive what God willed |
| W1:152.8 | your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you | think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be |
| W1:152.12 | We | think of truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes practicing |
| W1:153.10 | Be still a moment, and in silence | think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable |
| W1:153.18 | In time, with practice, you will never cease to | think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into |
| W1:153.18 | even though your time is spent in offering salvation to the world. | Think you He will not make this possible for you who chose to carry |
| W1:154.1 | its entirety. Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we | think is weakness can be strength; what we believe to be our strength |
| W1:155.14 | And now He asks but that you | think of Him a while each day that He may speak to you and tell you |
| W1:157.5 | you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you | think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so |
| W1:161.4 | not understood nor understandable. The mind that taught itself to | think specifically can no longer grasp abstraction in the sense that |
| W1:161.12 | smile, and see familiar gestures which he makes so frequently. Then | think of this—what you are seeing now conceals from you the sight |
| W1:162.4 | complete because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to | think with God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by salvaging |

| W1:166.2 | world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who | think it real must still believe there is another will, and one that |
| W1:166.9 | touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You even | think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your |
| W1:167.3 | You | think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to |
| W1:167.6 | The mind can | think it sleeps, but that is all. It cannot change what is its waking |
| W1:167.11 | it and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we | think today. And in His thoughts, which have no opposite, we |
| W1:169.6 | We cannot speak nor write nor even | think of this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition |
| W1:170.1 | attacks without intent to hurt. This can have no exception. When you | think that you attack in self defense, you mean that to be cruel is |
| W1:170.10 | Yet do not | think that fear is the escape from fear. Let us remember what the |
| W1:182.4 | Perhaps you | think it is your childhood home that you would find again. The |
| W1:182.9 | comes without defenses, offering only love's messages to those who | think he is their enemy. He holds the might of Heaven in His hand and |
| W1:183.8 | which can never be refused. And God will come and answer it Himself. | Think not He hears the little prayers of those who call on Him with |
| W1:184.2 | a space between all things, between all things and you. Thus do you | think that you have given life in separation. By this split you think |
| W1:184.2 | you think that you have given life in separation. By this split you | think you are established as a unity which functions with an |
| W1:184.6 | sum of the inheritance the world bestows. And everyone who learns to | think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the |
| W1:184.8 | Think not you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in | |
| W1:184.10 | of what is true. And then step back to darkness, not because you | think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which |
| W1:185.2 | mean these words and not be healed. He cannot play with dreams nor | think he is himself a dream. He cannot make a hell and think it real. |
| W1:185.2 | dreams nor think he is himself a dream. He cannot make a hell and | think it real. He wants the peace of God, and it is given him. For |
| W1:188.6 | become the holy messengers of God Himself. These thoughts you | think with Him. They recognize their home. And they point surely to |
| W1:189.10 | Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we | think apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we are or who |
| W1:190.4 | The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to | think of them as savage crimes or secret sins with weighty |
| W1:190.6 | My holy brothers, | think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing. It has no |
| W1:192.5 | at all. The mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot | think that it will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger |
| W1:192.7 | rage and our attack. Our understanding is so limited that what we | think we understand is but confusion born of error. We are lost in |
| W1:193.15 | long, and we would linger here no more. And as we practice, let us | think about all things we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart |
| W1:194.8 | replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. | Think you the world could fail to gain thereby and every living |
| W1:195.9 | Today we learn to | think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have |
| W1:197.1 | must be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you | think God's gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would |
| W1:197.6 | Withdraw the gifts you give, and you will | think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let |
| W1:197.6 | been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you | think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of |
| W1:197.6 | away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never | think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while before He |
| W1:197.9 | extend this Self. All that you do is given unto Him. All that you | think can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of |
| W1:197.9 | yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. But never | think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to you. |
| W1:198.7 | place where death is offered to God's Son and to his Father. You may | think They have accepted, but if you will look again upon the place |
| W1:198.8 | They could die! How foolish to believe you can attack! How mad to | think that you could be condemned and that the holy Son of God can |
| W1:R6.11 | 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 available to |
| W1:219.1 | 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 to earth without confusion |
| W2:I.9 | the truth. Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer | think illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide |
| 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 |
| W2:236.1 | am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me and tell me what to | think and what to do and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve |
| W2:238.2 | And so again today we pause to | think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by |
| W2:242.2 | come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may | think we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know |
| W2:243.1 | I will be honest with myself today. I will not | think that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I |
| W2:243.1 | I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I will not | think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are |
| W2:245.1 | I give Your peace to those who suffer pain or grieve for loss or | think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my |

| W2:261.1 | I will identify with what I | think is refuge and security. I will behold myself where I perceive |
| W2:261.1 | and security. I will behold myself where I perceive my strength and | think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be |
| W2:265.1 | back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to | think that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind |
| W2:275.2 | to go, to whom to speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to | think, what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given |
| W2:281.1 | If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You | think and put my little, meaningless ideas in place of where Your |
| W2:281.1 | They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The thoughts I | think with You can only bless. The thoughts I think with You alone |
| W2:281.1 | The thoughts I think with You can only bless. The thoughts I | think with You alone are true. |
| W2:292.1 | long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His. And while we | think this will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as |
| W2:292.2 | us for every problem that we can perceive, for every trial we | think we still must meet. |
| W2:309.1 | will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I | think I made another will which is not true and made it real. Yet it |
| W2:330.2 | Father, Your Son cannot be hurt. And if we | think we suffer, we but fail to know our one Identity we share with |
| W2:331.1 | me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I | think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the will of |
| W2:339.1 | No one desires pain. But he can | think that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he |
| W2:339.1 | that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he can | think that joy is painful, threatening, and dangerous. Everyone will |
| W2:357.1 | me how to offer miracles and thus escape the prison house in which I | think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my |

| M:16.6 | release—limitless because all things are freed within it. You | think you made a place of safety for yourself. You think you made a |
| M:16.6 | within it. You think you made a place of safety for yourself. You | think you made a power that can save you from all the fearful things |
| M:17.6 | you. Do not remember the immensity of the “enemy,” and do not | think about your frailty in comparison. Accept your separation, but |
| M:17.7 | clearly to your frightened mind, “You have usurped the place of God. | Think not He has forgotten.” Here we have the fear of God most |
| M:20.4 | must have taken it again as your defense. Stop for a moment now and | think of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's peace the |
| M:27.1 | central dream from which all illusions stem. Is it not madness to | think of life as being born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the |
| M:27.2 | of the universe as God created it, it would not be possible to | think of Him as loving. For who has decreed that all things pass |

| W1:37.2 | way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's | thinking. Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of |
| W1:39.10 | a few short intervals in which you just relax and do not seem to be | thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at |
| W1:45.6 | closing your eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly short period in | thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in |
| W1:45.12 | of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him for the thoughts He is | thinking with you. |
| W1:R1.2 | at least once. Devote two minutes or more to each practice period, | thinking about the idea and the related comments. Do this as often as |

| W1:68.7 | to see all these people as friends. Say to them all collectively, | thinking of each one in turn as you do so: |
| W1:69.2 | our more extended practice period, let us devote several minutes in | thinking about what we are trying to do. We are literally attempting |
| W1:71.9 | Begin the two longer practice periods for today by | thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains two |
| W1:R2.2 | general form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by | thinking about the idea and the comments which are included in the |
| W1:105.7 | our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin today by | thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the peace and |
| W1:106.10 | the ministry for which you came and which will free the world from | thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to |

| W1:125.9 | no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you above the | thinking of the world and free your vision from the body's eyes. Only |

| Tx:7.42 | Him, but it is quite evident that he does not understand God if he | thinks he has something that others [do not]. You might well ask, |
| Tx:7.47 | his brothers, but he is not grateful to them. This is because he | thinks he is giving something to them and is not receiving something |
| Tx:7.49 | your mind about his for him, you help him undo the change his ego | thinks it has made in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can see |
| Tx:8.20 | Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and glory he | thinks he has lost. Whenever you are with anyone, you have another |
| Tx:8.53 | a body, you will always experience depression. When a Child of God | thinks of himself in this way, he is belittling himself and seeing |
| Tx:9.78 | A sick god must be an idol, made in the image of what its maker | thinks he is. And that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a Son |
| Tx:12.23 | you here, leaving you no inheritance except the dust out of which it | thinks you were made. As long as it is reasonably satisfied with you, |
| Tx:13.15 | Lay not his guilt upon him, for his guilt lies in his secret that he | thinks that he has done this unto you. Would you, then, teach him |
| Tx:15.71 | to be much stronger than the attraction of what you do. For each one | thinks that he has sacrificed something to the other and hates him |
| Tx:15.71 | something to the other and hates him for it. Yet this is what he | thinks he wants. He is not in love with the other at all. He merely |
| Tx:15.72 | ego demands, and it does not object where the mind goes or what it | thinks, for this seems unimportant. As long as the body is there to |
| Tx:16.2 | joins except to strengthen itself. [Having identified with what it | thinks it understands, it sees itself and would increase itself by |
| Tx:16.12 | the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is the way God | thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly natural |
| Tx:16.49 | complete. Yet when it finds the special relationship in which it | thinks it can accomplish this, it gives itself away and tries to |
| Tx:16.49 | Each partner tries to sacrifice the self he does not want for one he | thinks he would prefer. And he feels guilty for the “sin” of taking |
| Tx:18.74 | lost to them, for it could not survive apart from them. And what it | thinks it is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its |
| Tx:18.84 | wild and delusional thought needs help because in its delusions it | thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the |
| Tx:19.23 | killed! And this would be the ego's wish, which in its madness it | thinks it has accomplished. |
| Tx:19.25 | and will be forever desirable. As an essential part of what the ego | thinks you are, you will always want it. And only an avenger with a |
| Tx:19.104 | is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your brother | thinks he has committed and all the guilt you think you see in him. |
| Tx:19.107 | See him as guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he | thinks he sees within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete |
| Tx:21.25 | capable of serving as a cause of the events and feelings its maker | thinks it causes. Long ago we spoke of your desire to create your own |
| Tx:21.27 | of its maker, and cannot serve to justify the madness. Your brother | thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, |
| Tx:21.27 | he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he | thinks the world he made, made him. Thus he denies he made it. |
| 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. |
| Tx:22.2 | For an unholy relationship is based on differences, where each one | thinks the other has what he has not. They come together, each to |
| Tx:22.9 | what this vision tells you, for everyone sees only what he | thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, you will understand |
| Tx:22.64 | This is the function of your holy relationship. For what one | thinks the other will experience with him. What can this mean except |
| Tx:23.1 | No one is strong who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he | thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness, |
| Tx:23.8 | Is this a victory? The ego always marches to defeat because it | thinks that triumph over you is possible. And God thinks otherwise. |
| Tx:23.8 | defeat because it thinks that triumph over you is possible. And God | thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the Will of |
| Tx:23.34 | but for the emphasis on form and disregard of content. No one who | thinks that one of them is true sees what it says. Some forms it |
| Tx:23.41 | to meet his horrified awareness and pursue him still. For no one | thinks of murder and escapes the guilt the thought entails. If the |
| Tx:25.3 | The body needs no healing. But the mind that | thinks it is a body is sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets |
| Tx:25.10 | language which this mind can understand in the condition in which it | thinks it is. And It must use all learning to transfer illusions to |
| Tx:25.50 | strong 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 |
| Tx:25.53 | Think not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who | thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified in anything it |
| Tx:25.53 | Who thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified in anything it | thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason believes this to be |
| Tx:25.67 | He be just if He condemns a sinner for the crimes he did not do but | thinks he did? And where would justice be if He demanded of the ones |
| Tx:25.76 | everything. He is no judge of what must be another's due, because he | thinks he is deprived. And so must he be envious and try to take away |
| Tx:27.18 | you but wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of him. He | thinks your blood is on his hands, and so he stands condemned. Yet it |
| Tx:27.65 | sharing. Yet they do not recognize their common need. For each one | thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation of the world will |
| Tx:27.83 | outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and | thinks your thoughts instead of you. It brings its vengeance, not |
| Tx:28.39 | Like you, your brother | thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your |
| Tx:28.44 | healed entirely, does He hold out to every separate piece that | thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he offers his identity, |
| Tx:29.2 | not what love means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he | thinks that love is fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence |
| Tx:29.20 | Condemn your savior not because he | thinks he is a body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he |
| Tx:29.35 | hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your brother | thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn instead |
| Tx:29.65 | where they can turn against him for his treachery to them. He | thinks he needs them that he may escape his thoughts, because he |
| Tx:29.65 | He thinks he needs them that he may escape his thoughts, because he | thinks the thoughts are real. And so he makes of anything a toy to |
| Tx:29.66 | seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a world he | thinks is governed by the laws he made. Yet is the real world |
| Tx:29.66 | the laws he made. Yet is the real world unaffected by the world he | thinks is real. Nor have its laws been changed because he did not |
| Tx:29.68 | need to last. They are not made to separate the mind from what it | thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is being dreamed by |
| Tx:30.53 | His idols do not threaten him at all. His one mistake is that he | thinks them real. What can the power of illusions do? |
| Tx:31.23 | he is and of what you must be. He is afraid to walk with you and | thinks perhaps a bit behind, a bit ahead, would be a safer place for |
| Tx:31.29 | Yet is the body prisoner and not the mind. The body | thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. |
| Tx:31.30 | The mind that | thinks it is a sin has but one purpose—that the body be the source |
| Tx:31.56 | with content of the mind, but with the simple statement that it | thinks. And what can think has choice and can be shown that different |
| Tx:31.56 | have different consequence. So it can learn that everything it | thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about how it was |
| W1:17.1 | it is really the other way around. This is not the way the world | thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it were |
| W1:35.1 | describe what vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who | thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason |
| W1:35.1 | he is in this world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he | thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it. |
| W1:45.12 | important it is to you to understand the holiness of the mind that | thinks with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the idea |
| W1:47.3 | because God has no exceptions. And the Voice Which speaks for Him | thinks as He does. |
| W1:76.4 | It is insanity that | thinks these things. You call them laws and put them under different |
| W1:79.2 | is to be accepted. Who can see that a problem has been solved if he | thinks the problem is something else? Even if he is given the answer, |
| W1:96.6 | helpless, limited, and weak. Dissociated from its function now, it | thinks it is alone and separate, attacked by armies massed against |
| W1:96.6 | support. Now must it reconcile unlike with like, for this is what it | thinks that it is for. |
| W1:99.3 | within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions | thinks them real. They have existence in that they are thoughts. And |
| W1:99.3 | they are thoughts. And yet they are not real because the mind that | thinks these thoughts is separate from God. |
| W1:121.5 | and does not see it has condemned itself to this despair. It | thinks it cannot change, for what it sees bears witness that its |
| W1:121.5 | witness that its judgment is correct. It does not ask because it | thinks it knows. It does not question, certain it is right. |
| W1:127.2 | Love's meaning is obscure to anyone who | thinks that love can change. He does not see that changing love must |
| W1:127.2 | He does not see that changing love must be impossible. And thus he | thinks that he can love at times and hate at other times. He also |
| W1:127.2 | he thinks that he can love at times and hate at other times. He also | thinks that love can be bestowed on one and yet remain itself |
| W1:127.3 | as one. Its meaning lies in oneness. And it must elude the mind that | thinks of it as partial or in part. There is no love but God's, and |
| W1:131.10 | God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has no opposite. He | thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven and believes that he abides in |
| W1:132.1 | illusions are as strong 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 |
| W1:133.7 | to him who chooses it. He is deceived by nothing in a form he | thinks he likes. |
| W1:134.4 | as the grass; as white as snow. It is delusional in what it | thinks it can accomplish. It would see as right the plainly wrong, |
| W1:140.1 | to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it | thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute |
| W1:157.5 | vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who | thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind |
| W1:160.1 | to you. What is your Self remains an alien to the part of you which | thinks that it is real but different from yourself. Who could be sane |
| W1:161.6 | vision does not see. The body is the target for attack, for no one | thinks he hates a mind. Yet what but mind directs the body to attack? |
| W1:161.6 | the body to attack? What else could be the seat of fear except what | thinks of fear? |
| W1:166.4 | Here is the only home he | thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he believes that he can |
| W1:189.7 | all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it | thinks is either true or false or good or bad, of every thought it |
| W1:190.2 | Pain is but witness to the Son's mistakes in what he | thinks he is. It is a dream of fierce retaliation for a crime that |
| W1:192.8 | 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 imprisons |
| W1:196.6 | how could there be escape? The fear of God is real to anyone who | thinks this thought is true. And he will not perceive its foolishness |
| W1:197.4 | It does not matter if another | thinks your gifts unworthy. In his mind there is a part that joins |
| W2:WS.1 | born in time will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which | thinks that it has separate thoughts and will replace these thoughts |
| W2:WIB.1 | parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence, he | thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this |
| W2:WIB.1 | he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he | thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with its safety, he |
| W2:281.1 | Father, Your Son is perfect. When he | thinks that he is hurt in any way, it is because he has forgotten who |
| W2:319.1 | it must seek for aims which are curtailed and limiting. The ego | thinks that what one gains totality must lose. And yet it is the Will |
| W2:WIE.2 | apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it | thinks it has become a victor over God Himself, and in its terrible |
| M:4.8 | God needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as far as he | thinks. Yet when he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions |
| M:17.5 | God. It states in the clearest form possible that the mind which | thinks it believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of |

| Tx:23.24 | to take his word for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the | third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if |
| Tx:23.25 | See how the fear of God is reinforced by this | third principle. Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in |
| W1:43.4 | today, one as early as possible and another as late as possible. The | third may be undertaken at the most convenient and suitable time |

| Tx:3.61 | We have already discussed the Last Judgment in some | though insufficient detail. After the Last Judgment there will be no |
| Tx:3.74 | order of reality or a system of thought that is real enough in time, | though not in eternity. All beliefs are real to the believer. |
| Tx:3.79 | else has happened. That is why your Souls are still in peace, even | though your minds are in conflict. You have not yet gone back far |
| Tx:4.25 | could be no better example of the fact that the ego is an idea, | though not a reality-based thought. |
| Tx:4.28 | the ego's thought system must be perceived as painful, even | though this is anything but true. Babies scream in rage if you take |
| Tx:4.28 | Babies scream in rage if you take away a knife or a scissors, even | though they may well harm themselves if you do not. The speed-up has |

| Tx:4.40 | chaos. We have already credited the ego with considerable ingenuity, | though not with creativeness. It should, however, be remembered that |
| Tx:4.97 | is why the mind cannot totally lose the ability to communicate, even | though it may refuse to utilize it on behalf of being. |
| Tx:5.23 | also another way. God did not leave His Children comfortless, even | though they chose to leave Him. The voice they put in their minds was |
| Tx:5.41 | to conceal this part, it is still much stronger than the ego, even | though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit recognizes it |
| Tx:5.44 | because it introduces meaning. It is, however, below knowledge even | though it can grow towards it. It is possible, with great effort, to |
| Tx:5.48 | neurotic guilt feelings do not help anyone. This distinction is wise | though incomplete. Let us make the distinction a little sharper now. |

| Tx:6.39 | That is its natural talent. The word “knows” is correct here, even | though the ego does not know and is not concerned with being at all. |
| Tx:6.48 | you will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies | though not of brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your |
| Tx:6.57 | process, not in time, but in eternity. God's extending outward, | though not His completeness, is blocked when the Sonship does not |
| Tx:6.70 | teach yourselves wrong. Many thought that I was attacking them, even | though it was quite apparent that I was not. An insane learner learns |
| Tx:6.74 | is insane. The ego's judgment, then, is predetermined by what it is, | though no more so than is any other product of thought. The |
| Tx:7.26 | You must therefore be teaching something else as well, even | though the ego does not know what it is. |
| Tx:7.105 | what you are. Sharing His Will with me is not really open to choice, | though it may seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. |
| Tx:8.85 | nothing out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even | though it makes every effort to induce it. The ego wants only what it |
| Tx:8.103 | if they are strong, they will induce panic. Willing against reality, | though impossible, can be made into a very persistent goal, even |
| Tx:8.103 | though impossible, can be made into a very persistent goal, even | though you do not want it. But consider the result of this strange |
| Tx:8.108 | for why certain specific forms of healing are not achieved, even | though the state of healing is. It frequently happens that an |
| Tx:9.12 | ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are asking for one, | though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no |
| Tx:9.15 | it by now. The ego believes that all functions belong to it, even | though it has no idea what they are. This is more than mere |
| Tx:9.29 | the laws you are obeying work. “The good is what works” is a sound, | though insufficient, statement. Only the good can work. Nothing else |
| Tx:9.31 | at all? If you inspire joy, and others react to you with joy even | though you are not experiencing joy yourself, there must be something |
| Tx:9.36 | giving acceptance and receiving it. In time, the giving comes first, | though they are simultaneous in eternity, where they cannot be |

| Tx:9.65 | happen did not happen at all. You do not think this mysterious, even | though all the laws of what you awakened to were violated while you |
| Tx:9.100 | die. But you can confuse yourself with things that do. Remember, | though, that to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you are |

| Tx:11.42 | must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see life | though it is all around you. |
| Tx:12.8 | You have recognized the futility of the ego and its offerings, but | though you do not want the ego, you do not look upon the alternative |
| Tx:12.18 | will find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for | though they may deceive themselves, like you they long for the |
| Tx:12.25 | this. You could heal and be healed if you did question it. And even | though you know not Heaven, might it not be more desirable than |
| Tx:12.27 | if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react to your brothers as | though they were someone else, and this will surely prevent you from |
| Tx:12.37 | two emotions, yet in your private world you react to each of them as | though it were the other. For love cannot abide in a world apart, |
| Tx:13.5 | Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole. | Though every aspect is the whole, you cannot know this until you see |
| Tx:13.22 | will attempt to displace it, because they do believe in it. Yet, | though they suffer, they will not look within and let it go. They |

| Tx:14.1 | for knowing Him, you have denied Him and do not recognize Him, | though He is all around you. He cannot be known without His Son, |
| Tx:14.40 | you. His Spirit holds it there for you. God has not left His altar, | though His worshiper placed other gods upon it. The temple still is |
| Tx:14.48 | experienced lack of competition among your thoughts, which, even | though they may conflict, can occur to you together and in great |
| Tx:14.50 | and if it were all of you, no order at all would be possible. Yet | though the order which you impose upon your minds limits the ego, it |
| Tx:14.53 | study form with meaningless content. For their teacher is senseless, | though careful to conceal this fact behind a lot of words which sound |
| Tx:15.92 | But here it is the Holy Spirit's function to use them both, | though not as the ego uses them. This is the season when you would |
| Tx:15.95 | 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 idea. What is |
| Tx:15.104 | seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out | though it was part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as |
| Tx:16.14 | is true. But can you really believe that all that has happened, even | though you do not understand it, has not happened? Yet this is your |
| Tx:16.23 | yet, this Self you clearly do not know and do not recognize It even | though It functions. What functions must be there. And it is only if |
| Tx:16.27 | teaching. You have chosen this by your own willingness to teach. | Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching will yet be |
| Tx:18.18 | your mind, that seems to be outside. You do not respond to it as | though you made it, nor do you realize that the emotions which the |
| Tx:18.52 | project its guilt, but it will not lose it through projection. And | though it clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot |
| Tx:18.57 | separated from himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, | though he believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. |
| Tx:19.5 | Yet the difference in how they operate is less apparent, | though it follows directly from the fundamental difference in what |
| Tx:20.32 | himself. In the world of separation, each is appointed separately, | though they are all the same. Yet those who know that they are all |
| Tx:21.1 | The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But | though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it |
| Tx:22.5 | your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise? It is as | though you wandered in without a plan of any kind except to wander |
| Tx:22.16 | In truth they are the same. Both bring the same amount of misery, | though each one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other |
| Tx:23.19 | The “laws” of chaos can be brought to light, | though never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful and |
| Tx:24.5 | All that is ever cherished as a hidden belief, to be defended | though unrecognized, is faith in specialness. This takes many forms |
| Tx:26.12 | is no loss; to think there is, is a mistake. You have no problems, | though you think you have. And yet you could not think so if you saw |
| Tx:26.33 | the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in time, | though it has long since gone. You think you live in what is past. |
| Tx:26.49 | of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's answer is eternal, | though it operates in time where it is needed. Yet because it is of |

| Tx:27.34 | it is the only one you want. It does not stand for double concepts. | Though it is but half the picture and is incomplete, within itself it |
| Tx:27.43 | is. Within the world the answers merely raise another question, | though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can |

| Tx:29.10 | And you will not see the many gains your choice has offered you. Yet | though you do not see them, they are there. Their cause has been |

| Tx:31.51 | proof there is that you are what your brother made of you. For even | though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you |

| W1:130.10 | and in truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For | though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes |
| W1:131.5 | this goal and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot seek vainly, | though he try to force delay, deceive himself, and think that it is |
| W1:133.10 | gain. He will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And | though he tries to keep its halo clear within his vision, yet must he |

| Tx:2.22 | is the way the mentally ill do employ it. But remember a very early | thought of your own—“Never underestimate the power of denial.” In |
| Tx:2.61 | Implicit in this is the corollary that correction belongs at the | thought level. To repeat an earlier statement and to extend it |
| Tx:2.88 | reflect this. For example, when you say, “Don't give it a | thought,” you imply that if you do not think about something, it will |

| Tx:2.89 | of some actions as “thoughtless,” implying that if the person had | thought, he would not behave as he did. While expressions like “think |
| Tx:2.89 | expressions like “think big” give some recognition to the power of | thought, they still come nowhere near the truth. You do not expect to |
| Tx:2.90 | It is hard to recognize that | thought and belief combine into a power surge that can literally move |
| Tx:2.91 | Given a death wish, a man has no choice except to act upon the | thought or behave contrary to it. He thus chooses only between |
| Tx:2.91 | fear. The other possibility is that he depreciates the power of his | thought. This is the usual psychoanalytic approach. It does allay |
| Tx:2.94 | help me. Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of | thought and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle will |
| Tx:2.108 | The Last Judgment is generally | thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. Actually it will be |
| Tx:3.35 | related. Knowledge is the result of revelation and induces only | thought. Perception involves the body, even in its most spiritualized |
| Tx:3.57 | is taken as “of a like quality.” God did create the Soul in His own | Thought and of a quality like to His own. There is nothing else. |
| Tx:3.72 | Every system of | thought must have a starting point. It begins with either a making or |
| Tx:3.72 | of belief by which men live. It is a mistake to believe that a | thought system which is based on lies is weak. Nothing made by a |
| Tx:3.73 | can weaken God. The “devil” is a frightening concept, because he is | thought of as extremely powerful and extremely active. He is |
| Tx:3.74 | separation is not symbolic. It is an order of reality or a system of | thought that is real enough in time, though not in eternity. All |
| Tx:3.77 | the belief that you can is the central foundation stone in your | thought system, and all your defenses are used to attack ideas which |
| Tx:3.79 | approach the beginning, you feel the fear of the destruction of your | thought system upon you, as if it were the fear of death. There is no |
| Tx:3.80 | The light will shine from the true Foundation of Life, and your own | thought system will stand corrected. It cannot stand otherwise. You |
| Tx:4.6 | authority problem which, because it accepts the one inconceivable | thought as its premise, can only produce ideas which are |
| Tx:4.7 | Many stand guard over their ideas because they want to protect their | thought systems as they are, and learning means change. Change is |
| Tx:4.8 | profound confusion is possible only if one maintains that the same | thought system can stand on two foundations. Nothing can reach the |
| Tx:4.9 | it. I never attack your egos, but I do try to teach you how their | thought system[s] arose. When I remind you of your true creation, |
| Tx:4.11 | If you are willing to renounce the role of guardian[s] of your | thought system[s] and open [them] to me, I will correct [them] very |
| Tx:4.25 | of the fact that the ego is an idea, though not a reality-based | thought. |
| Tx:4.28 | of recognition that the ego is not the self. Undermining the ego's | thought system must be perceived as painful, even though this is |
| Tx:4.30 | it. This is the meaning of Freud's “reality principle” since Freud | thought of the ego as very weak and deprived, capable of functioning |
| Tx:4.32 | for it. That is why the concept of “getting” arose in the ego's | thought system. All appetites are “getting” mechanisms, representing |
| Tx:4.36 | take is always automatic, because it cannot but be dictated by the | thought system to which the mind adheres. |
| Tx:4.37 | Every | thought system has internal consistency, and this provides the basis |
| Tx:4.39 | anything in another, because they can be understood only within the | thought system of which they are a part. That is why psychologists |
| Tx:4.57 | are not joyous, then know this need not be. In every case you have | thought wrongly about some Soul that God created and are perceiving |
| Tx:4.57 | your ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have | thought that God would not have thought and what you have not thought |
| Tx:4.57 | glass. Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have | thought and what you have not thought that God would have you think. |
| Tx:4.57 | have thought that God would not have thought and what you have not | thought that God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you |
| Tx:4.69 | predominance. The ego has every reason to do this according to the | thought system which gave rise to it and which it serves. Sane |
| Tx:4.70 | of discrimination between impulses from God and from the body. Any | thought system which makes this confusion must be insane. Yet this |
| Tx:4.95 | abolish it. The communication system of the ego is based on its own | thought system, as is everything else it dictates. Its communication |
| Tx:5.3 | You are being blessed by every beneficent | thought of any of your brothers anywhere. You should want to bless |
| Tx:5.5 | Healing is an act of | thought by which two minds perceive their oneness and become glad. |
| Tx:5.9 | the blessing of miracle-mindedness. It asks that you may think as I | thought, joining with me in Christ-thinking. |
| Tx:5.30 | for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model for your | thought and to behave like me as a result. |
| Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. Being | thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it |
| Tx:5.40 | is merely another term for a split mind. It was not an act, but a | thought. Therefore, the idea of separation can be given away, just as |
| Tx:5.45 | not aware of it. I have saved all your kindnesses and every loving | thought you have had. I have purified them of the errors which hid |
| Tx:5.50 | one, you cannot be limited to the “self” the ego sees. Every loving | thought held in any part of the Sonship belongs to every part. It is |
| Tx:5.56 | Ideas do not leave the mind which | thought them to have a separate being, nor do separate thoughts |
| Tx:5.61 | and you will fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful | thought. |
| Tx:5.67 | although you can believe in them. But you are wrong. The function of | thought comes from God and is in God. As part of His Thought, you |
| Tx:5.67 | The function of thought comes from God and is in God. As part of His | Thought, you cannot think apart from Him. |
| Tx:5.68 | Irrational | thought is a thought disorder. God Himself orders your thought |

| Tx:5.68 | is a thought disorder. God Himself orders your thought because your | thought was created by Him. Guilt feelings are always a sign that you |
| Tx:5.68 | that you believe you can think apart from God and want to. Every | thought disorder is attended by guilt at its inception and maintained |
| Tx:5.68 | Guilt is inescapable for those who believe they order their own | thought and must therefore obey its orders. This makes them feel |
| Tx:5.69 | save the past in purified form only. If you accept the remedy for a | thought disorder, and a remedy whose efficacy is beyond doubt, how |
| Tx:5.70 | to full creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its | thought disorder, the proper ordering of thought becomes quite |
| Tx:5.70 | so. Having given up its thought disorder, the proper ordering of | thought becomes quite apparent. |
| Tx:5.77 | the power to interpret correctly what former generations have | thought and thus release their thoughts from the ability to produce |
| Tx:5.77 | of fact if the word “perish” is properly understood. Every loveless | thought must be undone. Even the word “undone” is fearful to the ego, |
| Tx:5.78 | The ego will not be destroyed because it is part of your | thought, but because it is uncreative and therefore unsharing, it |
| Tx:5.78 | be reinterpreted entirely to release you from fear. The part of your | thought which you have given to the ego will merely return to the |
| Tx:5.83 | with good judgment. Fear distorts thinking and therefore disorders | thought. |
| Tx:5.84 | Freud's system of | thought was extremely ingenious because Freud was extremely |
| Tx:5.84 | may misuse its power. Freud lost much of the potential value of his | thought system, because he did not include himself in it. This is a |
| Tx:5.84 | because the thinker cuts himself off from his thoughts. Freud's | thought was so conflicted that he could not have retained his sanity |
| Tx:5.85 | Voice. The Holy Spirit never changes His Mind. Clarity of | thought cannot occur under conditions of vacillation. Unless a mind |
| Tx:5.85 | perception, because you have denied it as the real foundation of | thought. This is the basis for all delusional systems. |
| Tx:5.88 | himself could not accept this interpretation, but throughout his | thought system, the “threat” of fixation remained and could never be |
| Tx:5.89 | This knowledge plagued Freud's belief in his own | thought system at every turn because he was both an honest man and a |
| Tx:5.90 | that can drown out His? Do you really believe that you can devise a | thought system which can separate you from His? Do you really believe |
| Tx:6.2 | any premise at all, and no one can organize his life without any | thought system. Once he has developed a thought system of any kind, |
| Tx:6.2 | his life without any thought system. Once he has developed a | thought system of any kind, he lives by it and teaches it. |
| Tx:6.3 | because you have been extreme examples of allegiance to your | thought systems and therefore have developed the capacity for |
| Tx:6.22 | only because I do not want you to allow any fear to enter into the | thought system toward which I am guiding you. I do not call for |
| Tx:6.23 | was a complex of behaviors arising out of clearly opposed | thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect symbol of conflict |
| Tx:6.32 | God created His Sons by extending His | Thought and retaining the extensions of His Thought in His Mind. All |
| Tx:6.32 | Sons by extending His Thought and retaining the extensions of His | Thought in His Mind. All His Thoughts are thus perfectly united |
| Tx:6.45 | lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its whole | thought system. |
| Tx:6.54 | You are in an impossible situation only because you | thought it was possible to be in one. You would be in an impossible |
| Tx:6.55 | made them. What would be gained if God proved to you that you have | thought insanely? Can God lose His own certainty? We have frequently |
| Tx:6.57 | blocked when the Sonship does not communicate with Him as one. So He | thought, “My Children sleep and must be awakened.” |
| Tx:6.64 | this crucial concept slip away. It is a real foundation stone of the | thought system I teach and want you to teach. You cannot perform |
| Tx:6.70 | you can teach wrongly and therefore teach yourselves wrong. Many | thought that I was attacking them, even though it was quite apparent |
| 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:6.71 | attack on them. This is because everyone identifies himself with his | thought system, and every thought system centers on what you believe |
| Tx:6.71 | everyone identifies himself with his thought system, and every | thought system centers on what you believe you are. If the center of |
| Tx:6.71 | system centers on what you believe you are. If the center of the | thought system is true, only truth extends from it. But if a lie is |
| Tx:6.74 | by what it is, though no more so than is any other product of | thought. The fundamental change will still occur with the change of |
| Tx:6.75 | The way out of conflict between two opposing | thought systems is clearly to choose one and relinquish the other. If |
| Tx:6.75 | to choose one and relinquish the other. If you identify with your | thought system, and you cannot escape this, and if you accept two |
| Tx:6.75 | thought system, and you cannot escape this, and if you accept two | thought systems which are in complete disagreement, peace of mind is |
| Tx:6.79 | however, more advanced than the first step, which is really only a | thought reversal. The second step is a positive affirmation of what |
| Tx:6.81 | hold this direction, you will be pushing toward the center of your | thought system where the fundamental change will occur. You are only |
| Tx:6.82 | He sorts out the true from the false and teaches you to judge every | thought that you allow to enter your mind in the light of what God |
| Tx:6.86 | a major step toward fundamental change. Yet it is still a lesson in | thought reversal since it implies that there is something you must be |
| Tx:7.2 | created you, the Kingdom could not increase through its own creative | thought. Creation would therefore be limited, and you would not be |
| Tx:7.2 | and you would not be co-creators with God. As God's creative | Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your creative thought |
| Tx:7.2 | creative Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your creative | thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this way can all |
| Tx:7.9 | To heal is the only kind of thinking in this world that resembles the | Thought of God, and because of the elements which they share, can |
| Tx:7.29 | The altar there is the only reality. The altar is perfectly clear in | thought, because it is a reflection of perfect Thought. It sees only |
| Tx:7.29 | is perfectly clear in thought, because it is a reflection of perfect | Thought. It sees only brothers, because it sees only in its own light. |
| Tx:7.53 | one. This is part of the Law of Creation and therefore governs all | thought. |
| Tx:7.55 | do not believe you can do this, you have denied the power of your | thought and thus rendered it powerless in your belief. |
| 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 |
| Tx:7.63 | what is true.] While you believe that two totally contradictory | thought systems share truth, your need for vigilance is apparent. |
| Tx:7.67 | else, but because it is something else, it will attack your | thought system and divide your allegiance. You cannot create in this |
| Tx:7.81 | Perceive any part of the ego's | thought system as wholly insane, wholly delusional, and wholly |
| Tx:7.93 | the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego's whole | thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only function. |
| Tx:8.22 | why you have believed that when you met someone else, you had | thought that he was someone else. And every holy encounter in which |
| Tx:8.23 | completely releasing you and your brothers from every imprisoning | thought any part of the Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no |
| Tx:8.44 | treasure is and yours: This son of a loving father left his home and | thought he squandered everything for nothing of any value, although |
| Tx:8.44 | at the time. He was ashamed to return to his father because he | thought he had hurt him. Yet when he came home, the father welcomed |
| Tx:8.48 | are unwilling to will with God, you are not thinking. God's Will is | thought. It cannot be contradicted by thought. God does not |
| Tx:8.48 | not thinking. God's Will is thought. It cannot be contradicted by | thought. God does not contradict Himself, and His Sons, who are like |
| Tx:8.48 | who are like Him, cannot contradict themselves or Him. Yet their | thought is so powerful that they can even imprison the mind of God's |
| Tx:8.59 | Remember that the Bible says, “The Word (or | thought) was made flesh.” Strictly speaking this is impossible, since |
| Tx:8.59 | merely appear to exist, just as different orders of miracles do. | Thought cannot be made into flesh except by belief, since thought is |
| Tx:8.59 | do. Thought cannot be made into flesh except by belief, since | thought is not physical. Yet thought is communication, for which the |
| Tx:8.59 | made into flesh except by belief, since thought is not physical. Yet | thought is communication, for which the body can be used. This is the |
| Tx:8.66 | You are not limited by the body, and | thought cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested through the |
| Tx:8.68 | wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your | thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in God. |
| Tx:8.87 | The Bible enjoins you to be perfect, to heal all errors, to take no | thought of the body as separate, and to accomplish all things in my |
| Tx:8.89 | healing means anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic | thought system is the only way to heal it. We have said that your |
| Tx:8.108 | same time, however, if he were healed physically, the threat to his | thought system would be considerably more fearful to him than its |
| Tx:9.43 | ask, “Who granted it?” The question is meaningless within the ego's | thought system, because it opens the whole thought system to question. |
| Tx:9.43 | within the ego's thought system, because it opens the whole | thought system to question. |
| Tx:9.44 | therefore, is to deny all knowledge and keep the ego's whole | thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a thought system, |
| Tx:9.44 | the ego's whole thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a | thought system, because it can be questioned only at its foundation. |
| Tx:9.44 | does stand. The Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's | thought system merely because He knows its foundation is not true. |
| Tx:9.78 | of losing this?] Look calmly at the logical conclusion of the ego's | thought system and judge whether its offering is really what you |
| Tx:10.1 | that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a partial | thought system. Each is internally consistent, but they are |
| Tx:10.2 | premise, which is carefully hidden in the dark cornerstone of its | thought system. And either the ego, which you made, is your father, |
| Tx:10.2 | And either the ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole | thought system will not stand. |
| Tx:10.3 | by extension. The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for His | thought system is light. Remember the rays that are there unseen. The |
| Tx:10.3 | rays that are there unseen. The more you approach the center of His | thought system, the clearer the light becomes. The closer you come to |
| Tx:10.3 | light becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's | thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the way. Yet even |
| Tx:10.3 | fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation of the ego's | thought system bravely. Be willing to judge it with perfect honesty. |
| Tx:10.5 | knowledge, the foundation on which God will help you build again the | thought system which you share with Him. Not one stone you place upon |
| Tx:10.16 | truly want. Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing | thought brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son |
| Tx:10.17 | you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing | thought which you accept, either from your brother or in your own |
| Tx:10.17 | your own mind, teaches you that you are God's Son. In every hurtful | thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the denial of God's |
| Tx:10.29 | For what is unlike God cannot enter His Mind because it was not His | Thought and therefore does not belong to Him. And your minds must be |
| Tx:10.39 | cannot be dangerous. We are ready to look more closely at the ego's | thought system because together we have the lamp that will dispel it, |
| Tx:10.54 | what it has made real, the ego proceeds to the next step in its | thought system—that error is real, and truth is error. |
| Tx:10.56 | is strong to the insane. For reasoning ends at its beginning, and no | thought system transcends its source. Yet reasoning without meaning |
| Tx:10.58 | for your vigilance. Everything you perceive is a witness to the | thought system you want to be true. Every brother has the power to |
| Tx:10.70 | Every loving | thought that the Son of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind |
| Tx:10.76 | You do not know the meaning of anything you perceive. Not one | thought you hold is wholly true. The recognition of this is your firm |
| Tx:10.84 | Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father, whose every | thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He was |
| Tx:10.84 | separate from His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the | Thought of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in |
| Tx:11.3 | judgment, it requires no effort at all on your part. Every loving | thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help. |
| Tx:11.70 | received anything else, it is because you have looked within and | thought you saw the power to give something else within yourself. It |
| Tx:11.81 | nor could His Son receive it. You were redeemed the instant you | thought you had deserted Him. |
| Tx:11.86 | laid in the ground and seem to be no more. Not one of them but has | thought that God is cruel. |
| Tx:12.7 | Most of the time you dismiss it, but you do not dismiss the ego's | thought system. You have seen its results and you still lack faith in |
| Tx:12.16 | and concealed as long as they are hidden is the loving mind that | thought it made them in anger. And the pain in this mind is so |
| Tx:12.17 | which you may fear to uncover. For He will heal every little | thought which you have kept to hurt you and cleanse it of its |
| Tx:13.4 | being in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a | Thought of God, and God has given Him to you because He has no |
| Tx:13.27 | his Father loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever | thought his Father loved him not and looked upon him as condemned. |
| Tx:13.50 | have and give and are everything, and all this has been denied, your | thought system is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. |
| Tx:13.51 | Seeing is always outward. Were your thoughts wholly of you, the | thought system which you made would be forever dark. The thoughts |
| Tx:13.53 | is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple truth into a | thought system which has become so twisted and so complex that you |
| Tx:13.73 | that you can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No | thought of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. |
| Tx:13.87 | what is not there has been removed from the disordered mind that | thought it was. This state, and only this, must you attain with God |
| Tx:14.8 | ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from every | thought that would steal it away and keep it from his sight. Bring |
| Tx:14.54 | they seem to hold, but put them together and the system of | thought which arises from joining them is incoherent and utterly |
| Tx:14.55 | Him means you are not alone and willing to remember it. Take no | thought for yourself, for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you |
| Tx:14.55 | and willing to remember it. Take no thought for yourself, for no | thought you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your Father, |
| Tx:14.56 | love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of | thought. |
| Tx:15.4 | the ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were | thought of merely as an end to pain, would it be feared? We have seen |
| Tx:15.4 | would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in the ego's | thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must |
| Tx:15.12 | Whenever you are tempted to be dispirited by the | thought of how long it would take to change your mind so completely, |
| Tx:15.42 | Every | thought you would keep hidden shuts communication off because you |
| Tx:15.42 | being the acceptance of the single will that governs all | thought. |
| Tx:15.53 | have no need to look without and snatch it guiltily from where you | thought it was. |
| Tx:15.60 | the idea of love in you and unite this idea with the mind that | thought it and could not relinquish it. By holding it within itself, |
| Tx:15.96 | fact that sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your | thought system that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to |
| Tx:15.99 | than look at it. For if God would demand total sacrifice of you, you | thought it safer to project Him outward and away from you and not be |
| Tx:15.101 | of safety. Do not try longer to keep apart your thoughts and the | Thought that has been given you. When they are brought together and |
| Tx:15.102 | in Who is there already, by recognizing that His Host is One, and no | thought alien to His Oneness can abide with Him there. Love must be |
| Tx:16.3 | Step gently aside and let the healing be done for you. Keep but one | thought in mind and do not lose sight of it, however tempted you may |
| Tx:16.21 | will consider what you have taught and how alien it is to what you | thought you knew, you will be compelled to recognize that your |
| Tx:16.21 | be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from beyond your | thought system and so could look upon it fairly and perceive it was |
| Tx:16.21 | untrue. And He must have done so from the basis of a very different | thought system and one with nothing in common with yours. For |
| Tx:16.22 | yourself accordingly. Cause and effect are very clear in the ego's | thought system because all your learning has been directed towards |
| Tx:16.52 | religion of the separation and of the total context in which it is | thought to occur. The central theme in its litany to sacrifice is |
| Tx:16.57 | Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its whole | thought system is a carefully contrived learning experience designed |
| Tx:16.66 | relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep part of the | thought system which taught you it was real and understand the |
| Tx:16.66 | the thought system which taught you it was real and understand the | Thought that really knows what you are. You have allowed the Thought |
| Tx:16.66 | the Thought that really knows what you are. You have allowed the | Thought of your reality to enter your minds, and because you invited |
| Tx:17.25 | the same. For you can never choose except between God and the ego. | Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes come |
| Tx:17.31 | means if you would be restored to sanity. The insane protect their | thought systems, but they do so insanely. And all their defenses are |
| Tx:17.32 | You have but little difficulty now in realizing that the | thought system which the special relationship protects is but a |
| Tx:17.32 | have looked at it far closer than at many other aspects of the ego's | thought system which you have been more willing to let go. While this |
| Tx:17.33 | operates by giving gifts, and the gift is always a miniature of the | thought system the defense protects, set in a golden frame. The frame |
| Tx:17.34 | imposing and deceptive frame of all the defenses the ego uses. Its | thought system is offered here, surrounded by a frame so heavy and so |
| Tx:17.35 | the gift. Be not deceived by the most superficial aspects of this | thought system, for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in |
| Tx:17.37 | frame, the picture is seen as what it represents. For as the whole | thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven |
| Tx:17.40 | see there, you will recognize as what it is—a picture of what you | thought was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will |
| Tx:17.41 | not a picture but a reality. This is no figured representation of a | thought system, but the Thought Itself. What it represents is there. |
| Tx:17.41 | This is no figured representation of a thought system, but the | Thought Itself. What it represents is there. The frame fades gently, |
| Tx:17.50 | to remind you of all the ways you once sought for satisfaction and | thought you found it. Forget not now the misery you really found, and |
| Tx:17.66 | The | thought of bodies is the sign of faithlessness, for bodies cannot |
| Tx:18.10 | you, so you are. You are not joined together in illusions but in the | Thought so holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken |
| Tx:18.40 | has gone. It never happened in reality. Only in your minds, which | thought it did, is its undoing needful. |
| 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:18.65 | now. Its whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be | thought of in the past or in the future. |
| Tx:18.73 | itself as the ocean. Think how alone and frightened is this little | thought, this infinitesimal illusion, holding itself apart against |
| Tx:18.75 | seem to be. Each body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected | thought living alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it |
| Tx:18.75 | a disconnected thought living alone and in no way joined to the | Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment seems to be |
| Tx:18.79 | The | Thought of God surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier |
| Tx:18.84 | its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little | thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:18.84 | in God's keeping and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional | thought needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son |
| Tx:18.89 | heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real foundation for the ego's | thought system. Its thinness and transparency are not apparent until |
| Tx:18.93 | washed in the waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every evil | thought you had laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the Son of |
| Tx:19.6 | impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the body, | thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack, while |
| Tx:19.6 | This will not harm the body, but it will keep the delusional | thought system in the mind. |
| Tx:19.8 | are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a complete | thought system, but totally disconnected to each other. Where there |
| Tx:19.16 | being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that | thought it. For it remains joined to its source, which is its jailor |
| Tx:19.21 | indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its | thought system and quite unapproachable except through reverence and |
| Tx:19.79 | that an idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of the | thought we call the ego as surely as life is the result of the |
| Tx:19.79 | the thought we call the ego as surely as life is the result of the | Thought of God. |
| Tx:19.86 | of salvation is carefully guarded by love, preserved from every | thought that would attack it and quietly made ready to fulfill the |
| Tx:19.103 | Christ Who 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 |
| Tx:20.10 | and hear this carefully, nor think it but a dream—a careless | thought to play with or a toy you would pick up from time to time and |
| Tx:20.23 | asked, and it is to his answer that you would adjust. This one wild | thought, fierce in its arrogance and yet so tiny and so meaningless |
| Tx:20.36 | difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take | thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose |
| Tx:21.3 | did not recognize, or walk unharmed through open doorways which they | thought were closed. And so it is with you. You do not see. Your cues |
| Tx:21.3 | not recognize, but fail to be aware you can go through the doors you | thought were closed but which stand open before unseeing eyes, |
| Tx:21.22 | happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what you | thought you gave away. |
| Tx:21.71 | to attack his brother or turn upon himself as to remember they | thought they had a common cause. |
| Tx:21.84 | Desire what you will, and you will look on it and think it real. No | thought but has the power to release or kill. And none can leave the |
| Tx:21.85 | final proof he valued the inconstant more than constancy. Surely he | thought he wanted happiness. Yet he did not desire it because it was |
| Tx:22.11 | you can understand. He is not nurtured by the “something else” you | thought was you. He was not given there, nor was received by anything |
| Tx:22.14 | that instant brought—the recognition that the “something else” you | thought was you is an illusion. And truth came instantly to show you |
| Tx:22.29 | The introduction of reason into the ego's | thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and the |
| Tx:22.30 | correction. For reason sees through errors, telling you what you | thought was real is not. Reason can see the difference between sin |
| Tx:22.30 | because it wants correction. Therefore, it tells you what you | thought was uncorrectable can be corrected, and thus it must have |
| Tx:22.50 | and so easily that you must be convinced, in spite of what you | thought it was, that it is nothing. If you forgive each other, this |
| Tx:22.58 | is released as he beholds his savior in place of the attacker who he | thought was there. Through this releasing is the world released. This |
| Tx:22.64 | and His Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And every | thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the |
| Tx:22.64 | because they are the same. Joy is unlimited because each shining | thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself. There |
| Tx:22.64 | more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every | thought is like itself. |
| Tx:23.6 | forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once | thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How |
| Tx:23.39 | that it seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in ordered | thought. The steps to chaos do follow neatly from their starting |
| Tx:23.41 | him still. For no one thinks of murder and escapes the guilt the | thought entails. If the intent is death, what matter the form it |
| Tx:24.19 | but only friend to what is real in you. Not one attack you | thought you made on him has taken from him the gift that God would |
| Tx:24.31 | of peace in perfect safety and without the heat and malice of one | thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the |
| Tx:24.39 | beheld some sin within your brother and have rejoiced at what you | thought was there. Your specialness seemed safe because of it. And |
| Tx:24.45 | and blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you | thought you saw within yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in |
| Tx:24.51 | has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no | thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you |
| Tx:24.59 | fully justified, you have pursued this goal with vigilance you never | thought to yield and effort that you never thought to cease. And all |
| Tx:24.59 | with vigilance you never thought to yield and effort that you never | thought to cease. And all this grim determination was for this—you |
| Tx:24.63 | returns to you. All of the love and care, the strong protection, the | thought by day and night, the deep concern, the powerful conviction |
| Tx:24.68 | to anyone who still retains one unlearned lesson in his memory, one | thought with purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided aim. |
| Tx:25.1 | not, that He may call to them to come to Him and see Him where they | thought their bodies were. Then will their bodies melt away that they |
| Tx:25.18 | masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the Mind that | thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as lovely as |
| Tx:25.28 | of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he | thought before was means to justify his anger turned to an event |
| Tx:25.34 | and light. And in this widening world of light, the darkness they | thought was there is pushed away until it is but distant shadows, far |
| Tx:25.52 | that either God is mad or is this world a place of madness. Not one | Thought of His makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing |
| Tx:25.52 | the truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every | Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is |
| Tx:25.52 | true, then every Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one | Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning |
| Tx:25.53 | Son do not think differently. And it is the agreement of their | thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought |
| Tx:25.53 | of their thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose | Thought created him. And if he chooses to believe one thought opposed |
| Tx:25.53 | the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he chooses to believe one | thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son |
| Tx:25.57 | he has seen before and recognizes as the world in which he lives and | thought he understood before. |
| Tx:26.19 | that cannot be immediately grasped. There is a borderland of | thought which stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a |
| Tx:26.19 | This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every | thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied and |
| Tx:26.35 | Yet in each unforgiving act or | thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one |
| Tx:26.53 | 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 plays in |
| Tx:26.72 | effects without a cause? And who could fear effects unless he | thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin |
| Tx:27.7 | for this world. Its only purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly | thought or act or feeling has a motivation other than this one. These |
| Tx:27.25 | self perception must extend, and do not overlook the fact that every | thought extends because that is its purpose, being what it really is. |
| Tx:27.30 | you, for he stands for what is meaningless. He represents a double | thought, where half is canceled out by the remaining half. Yet even |
| Tx:27.31 | out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled out the | thought it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at all. Who |
| Tx:27.49 | release. And happily your brother will perceive the many friends he | thought were enemies. |
| Tx:27.51 | Your healing will extend and will be brought to problems that you | thought were not your own. And it will also be apparent that your |
| Tx:27.82 | the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the | thought become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and |
| Tx:27.83 | ending at its cause. The world you see depicts exactly what you | thought you did. Except that now you think that what you did is being |
| Tx:27.83 | think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you | thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which |
| Tx:28.1 | long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the mind that | thought of them and loved them for a little while. The miracle but |
| Tx:28.8 | in your mind. Its consequences will indeed seem new because you | thought that you remembered not their Cause. Yet was It never absent |
| Tx:28.26 | lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that | thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused |
| Tx:29.3 | on which you both agreed to keep intact. And violating this was | thought to be a breach of treaty not to be allowed. |
| Tx:29.18 | a thing with power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and | thought to feel and act and hold you in its grasp as prisoner to |
| Tx:29.32 | is there. The peace in you can but be found in him. And every | thought of love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening |
| Tx:29.35 | goal that lies beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any | thought, however light the touch of evil on it may appear to be. For |
| Tx:29.54 | thus perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is still a | thought and cannot leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form |
| Tx:29.55 | your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a | thought without the power to change one blade of grass from something |
| Tx:29.65 | are childish dreams. The toys have turned against the child who | thought he made them real. Yet can a dream attack? Or can a toy grow |
| Tx:30.1 | fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of | thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice them awhile, until |
| Tx:30.33 | created with your glad consent, as you would have it be. And not one | Thought that God has ever had but waited for your blessing to be |
| Tx:30.42 | form that would content you not, but in the whole completely lovely | Thought God holds of you. |
| Tx:30.43 | changelessly. For thoughts endure as long as does the mind that | thought of them. And in the Mind of God there is no ending nor a time |
| Tx:30.43 | thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are in the mind Which | thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists |
| Tx:30.44 | you are sometimes aware of them and sometimes not. An unremembered | thought is born again to you when it returns to your awareness. Yet |
| Tx:30.44 | you forgot it. It was always there, but you were unaware of it. The | Thought God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. |
| Tx:30.45 | They await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. The | Thought God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal |
| Tx:30.47 | Beyond all idols is the | Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and |
| Tx:30.47 | the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the | Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded |
| Tx:30.47 | of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the | Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator Whom |
| Tx:30.48 | Where could the | Thought God holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a |
| Tx:30.48 | but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An idol or the | Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that |
| Tx:30.50 | his “control” of what surrounds him. And he is afraid because he | thought the rules protected him. Now must he learn the boxes and the |
| Tx:30.50 | and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood what made him safe and | thought that it had left. |
| Tx:30.51 | seems to break the rules you set for it. It never was the thing you | thought. It must appear to break your rules for safety, since the |
| Tx:30.58 | Here, it is | thought that understanding is acquired by attack. There, it is clear |
| Tx:30.69 | lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined, they | thought He was their enemy. But when they joined and shared a |
| Tx:30.86 | purpose for 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 |
| Tx:30.87 | 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 with you on |
| Tx:30.89 | you are deceived. For everything you see will change, and yet you | thought it real before, and now you think it real again. Reality is |
| Tx:31.20 | Then let us wait an instant and be still, forgetting everything we | thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This brother |
| Tx:31.22 | Be very still an instant. Come without all | thought of what you ever learned before and put aside all images you |
| Tx:31.22 | opposition or intent. There will be no attack upon the things you | thought were precious and in need of care. There will be no assault |
| Tx:31.49 | with hatred and distortions born of fear. What is a concept but a | thought to which its maker gives a meaning of his own? Concepts |
| Tx:31.49 | in its shadow, growing in its ways, and finally “maturing” in its | thought. They are ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the |
| W1:4.3 | your thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each | thought by the central figure or event it contains. For example: |
| W1:4.4 | This | thought about _____ does not mean anything. It is like the things I |
| W1:4.5 | You can also use the idea for a particular | thought which you recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but |
| W1:6.3 | as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting | thought uncovered in the search. |
| W1:8.2 | The only wholly true | thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To think |
| W1:8.4 | is easier to recognize that, no matter how vividly you may picture a | thought, you are not seeing anything. With as little investment as |
| W1:10.7 | This | thought about _____ does not mean anything. That thought about _____ |
| W1:10.7 | This thought about _____ does not mean anything. That | thought about _____ does not mean anything. |
| W1:10.8 | Today's idea can obviously serve for any | thought that distresses you at any time. In addition, five practice |
| W1:13.8 | may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a | thought because of the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not |
| W1:16.2 | to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every | thought you have contributes to truth or to illusion; either it |
| W1:16.3 | never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every | thought you have brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A |
| W1:16.3 | love or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral | thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear |
| W1:16.4 | so, with eyes closed, and actively seek not to overlook any “little” | thought which tends to elude the search. This is quite difficult |
| W1:16.4 | it is still hard for you not to make artificial distinctions. Every | thought that occurs to you, regardless of the quality which you |
| W1:16.6 | This | thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. That thought about |
| W1:16.6 | This thought about _____ is not a neutral | thought. That thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. |
| W1:16.6 | This thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. That | thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. |
| W1:16.6 | is not a neutral thought. That thought about _____ is not a neutral | thought. |
| W1:16.7 | As usual, use today's idea whenever you are aware of a particular | thought which arouses uneasiness. The following form is suggested for |
| W1:16.8 | This | thought about _____ is not a neutral thought, because I have no |
| W1:16.8 | This thought about _____ is not a neutral | thought, because I have no neutral thoughts. |
| W1:17.1 | things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the | thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it |
| W1:19.4 | I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this | thought about ___. |
| W1:23.1 | everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. Every | thought you have makes up some segment of the world you see. It is |
| W1:23.5 | The idea for today introduces the | thought that you are not trapped in the world you see, because its |
| W1:23.8 | Hold each attack | thought in mind as you say this, and then dismiss that thought and go |
| W1:23.8 | each attack thought in mind as you say this, and then dismiss that | thought and go on to the next. |
| W1:25.4 | you can make any sense out of the exercises for today, one more | thought is necessary. At the most superficial levels, you do |
| W1:26.3 | The idea for today introduces the | thought that you always attack yourself. If attack thoughts must |
| W1:26.14 | That | thought is an attack upon myself. |
| W1:31.3 | for a moment and then replaced by the next. Try not to establish any | thought of hierarchy among them. Watch them come and go as |
| W1:32.2 | you see in your mind. In today's exercises, try to introduce the | thought that both are in your own imagination. |
| W1:39.8 | undue emphasis on any one in particular, search your mind for every | thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea |
| W1:41.2 | sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that | thought these things were real and suffered out of its allegiance to |
| W1:42.7 | Any | thought that is clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in |
| W1:42.7 | to mind. If such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat the | thought once more while looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat |
| W1:42.9 | thoughts together and teaching you that we are studying a unified | thought system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and |
| W1:43.10 | Or any | thought related more or less directly to today's idea is suitable. |
| W1:45.2 | He shares His with you. They are the same thoughts because they are | thought by the same Mind. To share is to make alike or to make one. |
| W1:45.3 | are. They must still be there because they cannot have left. What is | thought by the Mind of God is eternal, being part of creation. |
| W1:45.9 | which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts which you | thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your mind now, |
| W1:45.10 | Everything that you have | thought since then will change, but the foundation on which they rest |
| W1:R1.6 | first fifty of the ideas we have covered and the cohesiveness of the | thought system to which they are leading you. |
| W1:51.4 | judged it amiss? What I see is the projection of my own errors of | thought. I do not understand what I see because it is not |
| W1:51.6 | I see by assigning this role to it. I have done this to defend a | thought system which has hurt me and which I no longer want. I am |
| W1:54.3 | what I think. If I did not think, I would not exist, because life is | thought. Let me look on the world I see as the representation of my |
| W1:57.3 | make of him. He is where God would have him be, and not where I | thought to hold him prisoner. |
| W1:61.7 | the idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the central | thought. |
| W1:63.3 | We will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day with the | thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, we will |
| W1:65.6 | thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each | thought that arises which would interfere with it. Note each one as |
| W1:65.7 | This | thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only |
| W1:68.11 | a quick application of today's idea in this form, whenever any | thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically present or not: |
| W1:69.6 | After you have | thought about the importance of what you are trying to do for |
| W1:69.8 | that you are at last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the | thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must |
| W1:74.1 | The idea for today can be regarded as the central | thought toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is the |
| W1:75.15 | of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you | thought was real. |
| W1:76.11 | Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the laws you | thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He |
| W1:76.11 | realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the world you | thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About |
| W1:78.11 | their place. The world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one | thought of God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the world |
| W1:91.1 | repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new | thought system and the perception which it produces. The miracle is |
| W1:92.2 | the body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature of | thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you |
| W1:92.2 | of thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you | thought you held the match that lights the sun and gives it all its |
| W1:93.7 | Salvation requires the acceptance of but one | thought—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. |
| W1:94.1 | one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one | thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as |
| W1:94.11 | a giant stride toward your release and a milestone in learning the | thought system which this course sets forth. |
| W1:96.8 | in your mind and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a | thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted it for you and |
| W1:96.9 | We will attempt today to find this | thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks |
| W1:99.1 | or different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the | thought of the impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of |
| W1:99.4 | What joins the separated mind and thoughts with Mind and | thought which are forever one? What plan could hold the truth |
| W1:99.4 | they are undone without attack and with no touch of pain? What but a | thought of God could be this plan by which the never done is |
| W1:99.6 | This is the | thought which brings illusions to the truth, and sees them as |
| W1:99.6 | appearances behind which is the changeless and the sure. This is the | thought which saves and which forgives, because it lays no faith in |
| W1:99.6 | in what is not created by the only Source it knows. This is the | thought whose function is to save by giving you its function as your |
| W1:99.9 | you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the | thought He wanted this for you. Then let the thought with which He |
| W1:99.9 | Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let the | thought with which He has replaced all your mistakes enter the |
| W1:99.9 | all your mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which | thought the thoughts that never were His Will. |
| W1:99.11 | Practice His | thought today, and let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened |
| W1:100.8 | Begin the exercises with the | thought today's idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. |
| W1:100.10 | upon in place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What little | thought has power to hold you back? What foolish goal can keep you |
| W1:101.6 | There is no sin. We practice with this | thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's |
| W1:104.1 | Today's idea continues with the | thought that joy and peace are not but idle dreams. They are your |
| W1:107.10 | made of flesh and blood and bone but were created by the self-same | thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your |
| W1:108.1 | which is wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the | Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we |
| W1:108.4 | Here are both giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one | Thought Whose truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor |
| W1:108.4 | place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the | thought remain complete. And in this understanding is the base on |
| W1:108.4 | are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this | thought. |
| W1:108.5 | One | Thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all thought. This is |
| W1:108.5 | One Thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all | thought. This is the same as saying one correction will suffice for |
| W1:108.6 | proved it always works in every circumstance where it is tried, the | thought behind it can be generalized to other areas of doubt and |
| W1:108.6 | vision. And from there it will extend and finally arrive at the one | thought Which underlies them all. |
| W1:109.1 | although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the | thought that will answer our asking with what we request. |
| W1:109.2 | “I rest in God.” This | thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, |
| W1:109.2 | and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This | thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision |
| W1:109.2 | who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the | thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself. |
| W1:109.3 | “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this | thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and |
| W1:109.11 | we give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every | Thought of God, and to the Mind in Which these Thoughts were born and |
| W1:110.1 | We will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one | thought would be enough to save you and the world if you believed |
| W1:110.3 | this has not occurred if you remain as God created you. You need no | thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the world |
| W1:110.4 | In this one | thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend |
| W1:R3.11 | silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to keep the | thought with you and let it serve to help you keep your peace |
| W1:R3.13 | Each day's review assignment will conclude with a restatement of the | thought to use each hour and the one to be applied on each half hour |
| W1:123.1 | We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no | thought of turning back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A |
| W1:123.2 | in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you | thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him |
| W1:124.1 | with God and with the universe, we go our way rejoicing, with the | thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us. |
| W1:124.6 | can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No | thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in |
| W1:124.8 | Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the | thought that you are one with God. This is our first attempt at an |
| W1:124.10 | within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the | thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time |
| W1:126.1 | alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is crucial to the | thought reversal which this course will bring about. If you believed |
| W1:126.9 | twice today to the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the | thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place in your |
| W1:126.9 | forgiveness takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the | thought that will release your mind from every bar to what |
| W1:127.10 | its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the world they | thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made |
| W1:128.1 | way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this | thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from countless |
| W1:128.1 | that turn to bitter ashes of despair. No one but must accept this | thought as true, if he would leave this world behind and soar beyond |
| W1:128.5 | Today we practice letting go all | thought of values we have given to the world. We leave it free of |
| W1:129.1 | This is the | thought which follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot |
| W1:129.2 | world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all | thought of value here. The world you see is merciless indeed, |
| W1:130.7 | today in thanks and gratitude we gladly give five minutes to the | thought which ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as |
| W1:131.4 | free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly | thought and one which comes to you from an idea relinquished yet |
| W1:131.13 | I ask to see a different world and think a different kind of | thought from those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The |
| W1:132.2 | his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. Now the source of | thought has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed |
| W1:132.2 | means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever | thought or yet will think. |
| W1:132.3 | You free the past from what you | thought before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of |
| W1:132.4 | beliefs. Death strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter | thought of death within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. |
| W1:132.7 | There is no world! This is the central | thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept |
| W1:132.9 | your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you ever | thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these |
| W1:132.11 | not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in | thought. |
| W1:132.12 | God's creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His | thought by which you were created, so it is your thoughts which made |
| W1:132.14 | There is no world because it is a | thought apart from God and made to separate the Father and the Son |
| W1:132.17 | I who remain as God created me would loose the world from all I | thought it was. For I am real because the world is not, and I would |
| W1:132.21 | I loose the world from all I | thought it was and choose my own reality instead. |
| W1:133.17 | difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this simple | thought: |
| W1:134.11 | He has been gently wakened from his dream by understanding what he | thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot feel that all |
| W1:134.12 | fight to save himself. He does not have to kill the dragons which he | thought pursued him. Nor need he erect the heavy walls of stone and |
| W1:134.12 | him. Nor need he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he | thought would make him safe. He can remove the ponderous and useless |
| W1:134.13 | nor provide a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no | thought in all the world which leads to any understanding of the laws |
| W1:134.13 | which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows nor the | thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the world as is your own |
| W1:134.17 | from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you | thought of him, and each time ask yourself “Would I condemn myself |
| W1:135.1 | Who would defend himself unless he | thought he was attacked, that the attack is real, and that his own |
| W1:135.23 | minutes twice today, we rest from senseless planning and from every | thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will |
| W1:135.25 | to make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you | thought were needed nor indeed the answers to the problems which you |
| W1:135.25 | thought were needed nor indeed the answers to the problems which you | thought confronted you. But they are answers to another kind of |
| W1:135.26 | the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you ever | thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing. |
| W1:136.9 | it. Thus is your “true” identity preserved and the strange, haunting | thought that you might be something beyond this little pile of dust |
| W1:136.12 | His Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you | thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to |
| W1:137.1 | Today's idea remains the central | thought on which salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all |
| W1:137.16 | every hour of the day slips by, remembering our function with this | thought: |
| W1:140.6 | This is the | thought that cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. |
| W1:140.6 | to truth which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a | thought which judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or |
| W1:R4.4 | the truth of what you are and what your Father is. It is this | thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing |
| W1:R4.4 | the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this | thought which fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind |
| W1:R4.4 | dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this | thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever true. |
| W1:R4.7 | mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this | thought alone engage it fully and remove the rest: |
| W1:R4.9 | Five minutes with this | thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God |
| W1:R4.11 | Each hour of the day bring to your mind the | thought with which the day began and spend a quiet moment with it. |
| W1:R4.12 | practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating first the | thought that made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness |
| W1:146.2 | [132] I loose the world from all I | thought it was. |
| W1:151.9 | for He bears witness to your beautiful creation and the Mind Whose | thought created your reality. What can the body mean to Him Who knows |
| W1:151.13 | We introduce these times with but a single, slow repeating of the | thought with which the day begins. And then we watch our thoughts, |
| W1:151.13 | to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each | thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give |
| W1:151.14 | God wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each | thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind |
| W1:151.14 | of fantasy are gone, and what remains is unified into a perfect | thought that offers its perfection everywhere. |
| W1:152.3 | Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said and | thought about. For if what is not true is true as well as what is |
| W1:153.9 | we need no defense because we are created unassailable, without all | thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning. Now we |
| W1:153.12 | Salvation can be | thought of as a game that happy children play. It was designed by One |
| W1:153.15 | a while. We will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily | thought as long as possible. Five minutes now becomes the least we |
| W1:155.14 | name and His own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this | thought today: |
| 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, |
| W1:156.1 | being causeless it does not exist. It follows surely from the basic | thought so often mentioned in the text—ideas leave not their |
| W1:156.6 | is it gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish | thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who |
| W1:156.7 | Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish | thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep you bound |
| W1:160.3 | No one would let himself be dispossessed so needlessly unless he | thought there was another home more suited to his tastes. |
| W1:160.5 | I leave my home to one more like me than myself and give him all I | thought belonged to me.” Now is he exiled of necessity, not knowing |
| W1:160.6 | his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in and took no alien | thought to be Itself. And It will call Its own unto Itself, in |
| W1:161.6 | Bodies attack but minds do not. This | thought is surely reminiscent of our text, where it is often |
| W1:162.1 | This single | thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to |
| W1:162.2 | honored as 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 |
| W1:163.1 | Death is a | thought which takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It may appear |
| W1:163.2 | the guilty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the | thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things |
| W1:163.6 | position which we must accept if we be sane; what contradicts one | thought entirely cannot be true unless its opposite is proven false. |
| W1:164.4 | heart and have not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the | thought of sin has never touched. All this today you will remember. |
| W1:165.2 | The | Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been |
| W1:165.2 | with It, and everything is one with you because It left you not. The | Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting |
| W1:165.2 | love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the | Thought of God has left you not and still abides with you. |
| W1:165.5 | of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the | Thought of God as its inheritance. |
| W1:165.7 | justified. Your doubts are meaningless, for God is certain. And the | Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide within you who |
| W1:165.7 | beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The | thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according |
| W1:166.9 | feel that you are not alone. You even think the miserable self you | thought was you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer |
| W1:166.11 | “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each time the | thought of poverty oppresses you and speaks of His companionship when |
| W1:167.3 | 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 mind directs it. |
| W1:167.4 | Death is the | thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the belief |
| W1:167.8 | gives not nor make conditions which He does not share with them. The | thought of death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever |
| W1:167.10 | we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the | thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself. |
| W1:169.6 | and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all | thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of |
| W1:169.11 | end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the | thought of time but for a little while. The interval suffices. It is |
| W1:170.4 | that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy within—an alien | thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind |
| W1:170.10 | fear of God Himself. Here is the basic premise which enthrones the | thought of fear as god. For fear is loved by those who worship it, |
| W1:R5.4 | This is the | thought which should precede the thoughts that we review. Each one |
| W1:R5.4 | thoughts that we review. Each one but clarifies some aspect of this | thought or helps it be more meaningful, more personal and true, and |
| W1:R5.7 | us, and teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we | thought we lost. |
| W1:R5.14 | this we start and end each period of practice time. And with this | thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same words upon our |
| W1:R5.14 | again with these same words upon our lips to greet another day. No | thought that we review but we surround with it and use the thoughts |
| W1:178.2 | [165] Let not my mind deny the | thought of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
| W1:181.4 | And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and restricting | thought that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose |
| W1:183.2 | out their wings to keep you safe and shelter you from every worldly | thought that would intrude upon your holiness. |
| W1:183.7 | we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only | thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the |
| W1:183.11 | still, and will forever give. He calls on Him to let all things he | thought he made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of |
| W1:184.9 | do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing, it is this | thought that will release you from them. They become but means by |
| W1:186.1 | will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the | thought of true humility which holds no function as your own but that |
| W1:187.2 | you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in which the | thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must return to |
| W1:187.4 | them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. What you | thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its |
| W1:187.4 | however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the | thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable. |
| W1:187.5 | Give gladly. You can only gain thereby. The | thought remains and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving. |
| W1:187.5 | as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the | thought in form most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always |
| W1:187.7 | recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you remove the | thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers when |
| W1:187.7 | who suffers when you choose to see all suffering as what it is. The | thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering |
| W1:187.8 | There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the | thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and |
| W1:187.9 | afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all | thought of form and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, |
| W1:187.10 | Now are we one in | thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, |
| W1:187.10 | here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one | thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him |
| W1:188.9 | life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we | thought it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would |
| W1:189.1 | to be kept hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the | thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see |
| W1:189.7 | it thinks is either true or false or good or bad, of every | thought it judges worthy and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. |
| W1:189.7 | of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one | thought the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned before |
| W1:190.8 | Pain is the | thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your holy mind. Pain |
| W1:191.3 | escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and ghostly | thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own |
| W1:191.4 | you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one | thought is everything set free. In this one truth are all illusions |
| W1:191.6 | One holy | thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy Son of God |
| W1:191.6 | are free: you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy | thought, you learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no |
| W1:191.9 | And in that | thought is everything you look on wholly changed. |
| W1:193.5 | His loving kindness to the Son He loves. Each lesson has a central | thought, the same in all of them. The form alone is changed, with |
| W1:193.13 | lessons God would have you learn. He would not leave an unforgiving | thought without correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred |
| W1:194.6 | effort as you can to make it be a part of you. As it becomes a | thought which rules your mind, a habit in your problem-solving |
| W1:194.9 | we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving | thought, it will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are |
| W1:195.2 | follow in the way He sets before them to escape a prison that they | thought contained no door to the deliverance they now perceive. |
| W1:195.9 | pursuit where we are badgered ceaselessly and pushed about without a | thought or care for us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the |
| W1:195.9 | or care for us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the single | thought we substitute for these insane perceptions. God has cared for |

| M:13.1 | The first illusion, which must be displaced before another | thought system can take hold, is that it is a sacrifice to give up |

| M:14.3 | Certainly 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 |
| M:14.3 | time stands 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 |
| M:14.4 | The world will end when its | thought system has been completely reversed. Until then, bits and |

| Tx:31.56 | And what can think has choice and can be shown that different | thoughts have different consequence. So it can learn that everything |
| Tx:31.69 | You could not recognize your “evil” | thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You will perceive them |
| Tx:31.69 | then your concept of yourself is wholly changed. Your “evil” | thoughts have been forgiven with his, because you let them all affect |

| W1:4.1 | idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the | thoughts that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply |
| W1:4.1 | Then apply the idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy | thoughts, use them as subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select |
| W1:4.1 | use them as subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select only the | thoughts you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to |
| W1:4.1 | are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to look at your | thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none |
| W1:4.2 | the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use “good” | thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real |
| W1:4.2 | “good” thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real | thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The “good” ones of |
| W1:4.3 | to recognize what is the same and what is different. In using your | thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each thought |
| W1:4.5 | kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with | thoughts particularly difficult. Do not repeat these exercises more |
| W1:6.4 | Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting | thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions |
| W1:7.5 | It is the reason why your | thoughts do not mean anything and why they are like the things you |
| W1:8.1 | you see only the past. No one really sees anything. He sees only his | thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the past is |
| W1:8.4 | search your mind for the usual minute or so, merely noting the | thoughts you find there. Name each one by the central figure or theme |
| W1:8.6 | Then name each of your | thoughts specifically. For example: |
| W1:8.9 | But my mind is preoccupied with past | thoughts. |
| W1:10.1 | This idea applies to all the | thoughts of which you are aware or become aware in the practice |
| W1:10.1 | the idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real | thoughts. We have made this distinction before and will again. You |
| W1:10.1 | you do, you will have no doubt that what you once believed were your | thoughts did not mean anything. |
| W1:10.3 | This aspect of the correction process began with the idea that the | thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than |
| W1:10.6 | The exercises consist, as before, in searching your mind for all the | thoughts which are available to you, without selection or judgment. |
| W1:11.1 | what you perceive. Today's idea introduces the concept that your | thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the |
| W1:14.3 | The idea for today is another step in learning to let go the | thoughts which you have written on the world, and see the Word of God |
| W1:15.1 | It is because the | thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not |
| W1:16.1 | for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your | thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the result of your |
| W1:16.1 | thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the result of your | thoughts. There is no exception to this fact. Thoughts are not big or |
| W1:16.1 | is the result of your thoughts. There is no exception to this fact. | Thoughts are not big or little, powerful or weak. They are merely |
| W1:16.2 | There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of “idle | thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can |
| W1:16.3 | thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear | thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about that |
| W1:16.8 | about _____ is not a neutral thought, because I have no neutral | thoughts. |
| W1:17.1 | operates. You see no neutral things because you have no neutral | thoughts. It is always the thought that comes first, despite the |
| W1:17.3 | I see no neutral things because I have no neutral | thoughts. |
| W1:17.5 | I do not see a neutral _____, because my | thoughts about _____ are not neutral. |
| W1:17.7 | I do not see a neutral wall, because my | thoughts about walls are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body, |
| W1:17.7 | about walls are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body, because my | thoughts about bodies are not neutral. |
| W1:17.8 | and really joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any | thoughts which are really true and therefore really happy. |
| W1:18.1 | The idea for today is another step in learning that the | thoughts which give rise to what you see are never neutral or |
| W1:19.2 | an “invasion of privacy.” Yet it is a fact that there are no private | thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet |
| W1:19.3 | first, and then the mind should be carefully searched for the | thoughts it contains at that time. As you consider each one, name it |
| W1:21.3 | Try, therefore, not to let the “little” | thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods. Remember that |
| W1:21.4 | As you search your mind for all the forms in which attack | thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and tell yourself: |
| W1:22.1 | Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack | thoughts in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger |
| W1:22.1 | vicious circle until he is willing to change how he sees. Otherwise, | thoughts of attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people |
| W1:23.1 | you have makes up some segment of the world you see. It is with your | thoughts, then, that we must work if your perception of the world is |
| W1:23.2 | If the cause of the world you see is attack | thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not |
| W1:23.2 | world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these | thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the |
| W1:23.2 | it is merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your | thoughts about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The |
| W1:23.3 | “external reality” is a pictorial representation of your own attack | thoughts. One can well ask if this can be called seeing. Is not |
| W1:23.6 | and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many attack | thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your mind say: |
| W1:23.7 | I can escape from the world by giving up attack | thoughts about _____. |
| W1:23.9 | In the practice periods, be sure to include both your | thoughts of attacking and of being attacked. Their effects are |
| W1:23.9 | the cause of the world you see. When you finally realize that | thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you will |
| W1:26.2 | Because your attack | thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear |
| W1:26.2 | fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack | thoughts therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is |
| W1:26.2 | make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack | thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted |
| W1:26.2 | in your own mind, which is where the attack thoughts are. Attack | thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted together. They |
| W1:26.3 | introduces the thought that you always attack yourself. If attack | thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect |
| W1:26.4 | that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own | thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except |
| W1:26.4 | is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your | thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you |
| W1:26.4 | Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your | thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except |
| W1:26.4 | can make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your | thoughts can prove to you this is not so. |
| W1:26.6 | Any problem as yet unsettled which tends to recur in your | thoughts during the day is a suitable subject. You will not be able |
| W1:28.3 | of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your little personal | thoughts. |
| W1:31.3 | As you survey your inner world, merely let whatever | thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to be |
| W1:31.3 | special investment on your part. As you sit and quietly watch your | thoughts, repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, |
| W1:33.2 | as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner | thoughts with equal casualness. Try to remain equally uninvolved in |
| W1:34.1 | of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own | thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that |
| W1:34.3 | for each of the longer practice periods. Search your mind for fear | thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, “offending” personalities or |
| W1:34.3 | or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving | thoughts. Note them all casually, repeating the idea for today slowly |
| W1:34.8 | I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety or worry [or my | thoughts about this situation, personality, or event] with peace. |
| W1:37.8 | the idea to what you see around you and to those who are in your | thoughts; or you may use any combination of these two phases of |
| W1:38.6 | to time you may want to vary this procedure and add some relevant | thoughts of your own. You might like, for example, to include |
| W1:38.6 | thoughts of your own. You might like, for example, to include | thoughts such as: |
| W1:39.6 | idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving | thoughts in whatever form they appear—uneasiness, depression, |
| W1:39.7 | situations, events, or personalities you associate with unloving | thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today's exercises. It |
| W1:39.9 | My unloving | thoughts about _____ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my |
| W1:41.4 | when the truth is hidden deep within under a heavy cloud of insane | thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we |
| W1:41.5 | Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle | thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, |
| W1:41.5 | Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any | thoughts that might divert your attention. |
| W1:41.6 | try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish | thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. |
| W1:41.9 | You can indeed afford to laugh at fear | thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go. |
| W1:42.1 | The idea for today combines two very powerful | thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets forth a cause and |
| W1:42.4 | idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except | thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's idea. You might |
| W1:42.7 | at the amount of course-related understanding some of your own | thoughts contain. Let them come without censoring unless you realize |
| W1:42.7 | your mind is merely wandering and you have let obviously irrelevant | thoughts intrude. You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all |
| W1:42.7 | irrelevant thoughts intrude. You may also reach a point where no | thoughts at all seem to come to mind. If such interferences occur, |
| W1:42.7 | repeat the idea once more, and then continue to look for related | thoughts in your mind. |
| W1:42.8 | Remember, though, that active searching for relevant | thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises. Try merely to step |
| W1:42.8 | for today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the | thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the |
| W1:42.8 | then open, and so on, than it is to strain in order to find suitable | thoughts. |
| W1:42.9 | beneficial. The idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing | thoughts together and teaching you that we are studying a unified |
| W1:43.8 | your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant | thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way. |
| W1:43.8 | thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way. | Thoughts such as: |
| W1:43.9 | see the world as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own | thoughts, which are like God's. |
| W1:43.10 | related more or less directly to today's idea is suitable. The | thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the idea, but they |
| W1:43.11 | If you should find your mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of | thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's idea, or if you |
| W1:43.11 | period to occur in which you become preoccupied with irrelevant | thoughts. Return to the first phase of the exercises as often as |
| W1:44.5 | form, you leave behind everything that you now believe and all the | thoughts which you have made up. Properly speaking, this is the |
| W1:44.7 | It is merely taking its natural course. Try to observe your passing | thoughts without involvement and slip quietly by them. |
| W1:44.10 | to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the | thoughts of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you |
| W1:45.1 | Today's idea holds the key to what your real | thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as |
| W1:45.1 | and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real | thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that |
| W1:45.1 | Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resembles your real | thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears any |
| W1:45.2 | You think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your | thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same |
| W1:45.2 | your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same | thoughts because they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to |
| W1:45.2 | the same Mind. To share is to make alike or to make one. Nor do the | thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because |
| W1:45.2 | the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because | thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore your thoughts are in |
| W1:45.2 | mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore your | thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as |
| W1:45.2 | mind as well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your | thoughts part of His thoughts. |
| W1:45.2 | He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His | thoughts. |
| W1:45.3 | Where, then, are your real | thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look |
| W1:45.4 | real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the | thoughts of the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs |
| W1:45.6 | as you do so. Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant | thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in mind as you do so. After |
| W1:45.6 | idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five | thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself gently: |
| W1:45.7 | My real | thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them. |
| W1:45.8 | Then try to go past all the unreal | thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal. |
| W1:45.9 | Under all the senseless | thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are |
| W1:45.9 | and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the | thoughts which you thought with God in the beginning. They are there |
| W1:45.10 | Here is your mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your | thoughts one with His. |
| W1:45.12 | your mind's holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, from all | thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him |
| W1:45.12 | that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him for the | thoughts He is thinking with you. |
| W1:49.3 | God and of your Self. We will approach this happiest and holiest of | thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our |
| W1:49.4 | all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real | thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the |
| W1:49.4 | deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous | thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world. You do not live |
| W1:50.4 | deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related | thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to |
| W1:50.4 | you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish | thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is |
| W1:51.5 | [4] These | thoughts do not mean anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do |
| W1:51.5 | [4] These thoughts do not mean anything. The | thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying |
| W1:51.5 | anything because I am trying to think without God. What I call “my” | thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts |
| W1:51.5 | to think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real | thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am |
| W1:51.5 | God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real | thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them |
| W1:51.5 | “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the | thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made |
| W1:51.5 | I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my | thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that my |
| W1:51.5 | my thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that my | thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I choose to have |
| W1:51.5 | to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace. My | thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I |
| W1:51.5 | replace. My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the | thoughts I think with God. |
| W1:51.6 | the reason I think because I am constantly trying to justify “my” | thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them true. I make all things |
| W1:52.4 | [8] My mind is preoccupied with past | thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with |
| W1:52.4 | [8] My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own | thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I |
| W1:52.6 | [10] My | thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is |
| W1:52.6 | [10] My thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private | thoughts. Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What |
| W1:52.6 | mean anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is only private | thoughts of which I am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do |
| W1:52.6 | Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What can these | thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my |
| W1:52.6 | all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless “private” | thoughts? |
| W1:53.2 | [11] My meaningless | thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of |
| W1:53.2 | meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the | thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world which |
| W1:53.2 | and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane, and I have real | thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if |
| W1:53.2 | insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I look to my real | thoughts as my guide for seeing. |
| W1:53.3 | [12] I am upset because I see a meaningless world. Insane | thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which there is no |
| W1:53.5 | Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane | thoughts when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember |
| W1:53.6 | [15] My | thoughts are images which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my |
| W1:53.6 | My thoughts are images which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my | thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. |
| W1:53.6 | which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my | thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see |
| W1:53.6 | death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane | thoughts and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their |
| W1:53.6 | the representation of my insane thoughts and am not allowing my real | thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's way |
| W1:54.2 | [16] I have no neutral | thoughts. Neutral thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have |
| W1:54.2 | [16] I have no neutral thoughts. Neutral | thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have power. They will |
| W1:54.2 | no neutral thoughts. Neutral thoughts are impossible, because all | thoughts have power. They will either make a false world or lead me |
| W1:54.2 | They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But | thoughts cannot be without effects. As the world I see arises from my |
| W1:54.2 | real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My | thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. They must be one or the |
| W1:54.4 | alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. If I have no private | thoughts, I cannot see a private world. Even the mad idea of |
| W1:54.4 | that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also call upon my real | thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As my thoughts of |
| W1:54.4 | upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As my | thoughts of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so |
| W1:54.4 | with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the separation | thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in |
| W1:54.4 | of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real | thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the world my real |
| W1:54.4 | separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real | thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on |
| W1:54.4 | thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the world my real | thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as mine. |
| W1:54.5 | [19] I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my | thoughts. I am alone in nothing. Everything I think or say or do |
| W1:54.6 | [20] I am determined to see. Recognizing the shared nature of my | thoughts, I am determined to see. I would look upon the witnesses |
| W1:55.3 | of vengeance. The world I see is hardly the representation of loving | thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by everything. It |
| W1:55.3 | of the Love of God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack | thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will |
| W1:55.3 | is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving | thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me |
| W1:55.4 | [23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack | thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack |
| W1:55.4 | thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack | thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows |
| W1:56.2 | [26] My attack | thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who I am |
| W1:56.2 | I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real | thoughts will teach me what it is. |
| W1:56.6 | see because 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 |
| W1:56.6 | it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His | thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one with Him. |
| W1:57.4 | another way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my | thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for |
| W1:58.2 | the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the | thoughts I hold about myself. |
| W1:59.6 | [45] God is the Mind with which I think. I have no | thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him |
| W1:59.6 | which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no | thoughts apart from Him because I have no mind apart from His. As |
| W1:59.6 | Him because I have no mind apart from His. As part of His Mind, my | thoughts are His and His thoughts are mine. |
| W1:59.6 | apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His | thoughts are mine. |
| W1:60.5 | save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my | thoughts, guide my actions, and lead my feet. I am walking steadily |
| W1:61.7 | with your eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related | thoughts come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind |
| W1:62.2 | the truth. For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that | thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death. |
| W1:62.2 | must be replaced by forgiveness so that thoughts of life may replace | thoughts of death. |
| W1:62.8 | Let related | thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and |
| W1:63.5 | can close your eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related | thoughts come to you in the minute or two which you should devote to |
| W1:64.7 | Today, then, let us practice with these | thoughts: |
| W1:64.9 | ten or 15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related | thoughts will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance |
| W1:64.10 | made throughout the day, devote several minutes to reviewing these | thoughts and then to thinking about them and about nothing else. This |
| W1:64.11 | do the exercises with your eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the | thoughts you are applying. At other times keep your eyes open after |
| W1:64.11 | are applying. At other times keep your eyes open after reviewing the | thoughts and look slowly and unselectively about you, telling |
| W1:65.1 | reminds you that you have no function other than this. Both of these | thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment. Salvation |
| W1:65.5 | yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever | thoughts cross it. |
| W1:65.6 | At first, make no attempt to concentrate only on | thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each |
| W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering | thoughts will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a |
| W1:65.8 | a minute or so longer, attempting to catch a few of the idle | thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain or |
| W1:66.5 | Begin the ten- to fifteen-minute practice period by reviewing these | thoughts: |
| W1:66.7 | if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the first two | thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, then, |
| W1:67.2 | truth about 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 preparatory |
| W1:67.5 | you have gone over several such related thoughts, try to let all | thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to |
| W1:67.6 | repeat the idea for today from time to time to replace distracting | thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient and that you |
| W1:67.6 | this is not sufficient and that you need to continue adding other | thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will |
| W1:70.14 | yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing but your own | thoughts can hamper your progress. You are free from all external |
| W1:72.3 | like; he does something that displeases us, he “betrays” his hostile | thoughts in his behavior. |
| W1:74.3 | Begin the longer practice periods by repeating these | thoughts several times, slowly and with firm determination to |
| W1:74.5 | Then spend several minutes in adding some related | thoughts, such as: |
| W1:74.7 | this introductory phase, be sure to deal quickly with any conflict | thoughts that may cross your mind. Tell yourself immediately: |
| W1:74.8 | There is no will but God's. These conflict | thoughts are meaningless. |
| W1:R2.3 | it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting | thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they |
| W1:R2.3 | the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such | thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them |
| W1:R2.4 | and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions, and | thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each |
| W1:91.10 | honesty, and then devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken | thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites |
| W1:91.13 | meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His | thoughts. It is from Them your strength will come. It is through |
| W1:93.3 | but from a very different reference point from which such idle | thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's |
| W1:93.3 | reference point from which such idle thoughts are meaningless. These | thoughts are not according to God's Will. These weird beliefs He does |
| W1:93.12 | however, to do so when you can. At least remember to repeat these | thoughts each hour: |
| W1:93.15 | disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these | thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, |
| W1:94.1 | world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the | thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one |
| W1:96.5 | its function then, it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its | thoughts. |
| W1:96.8 | Your Self retains its | thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. |
| W1:96.8 | in your name that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the | thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you. |
| W1:96.12 | Salvation comes from my One Self. Its | thoughts are mine to use. |
| W1:96.13 | Then seek its | thoughts, and claim them as your own. |
| W1:96.14 | These are your own real | thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world |
| W1:96.14 | a world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your | thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is among them; find it |
| W1:96.15 | If you succeed, the | thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved and that your |
| W1:97.6 | will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his | thoughts and uses them to heal. |
| W1:98.13 | with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all little | thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. |
| W1:99.3 | illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are | thoughts. And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks |
| W1:99.3 | And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks these | thoughts is separate from God. |
| W1:99.4 | What joins the separated mind and | thoughts with Mind and thought which are forever one? What plan could |
| W1:99.9 | mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which thought the | thoughts that never were His Will. |
| W1:99.10 | belongs to God, as does the rest. It does not think its solitary | thoughts and make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the |
| W1:99.15 | Forgive all | thoughts which would oppose the truth of your completeness, unity, |
| W1:100.1 | Father's plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate | thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their |
| W1:100.9 | that you succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little | thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ |
| W1:101.9 | your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these | thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these five minutes |
| W1:107.4 | has come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory | thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your |
| W1:108.1 | the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken | thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one will |
| W1:109.11 | passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in Which these | Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their |
| W1:110.11 | will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving | thoughts for all who meet with us today, for it is thus that we |
| W1:R3.5 | twice a day, or longer if you would prefer, to considering the | thoughts that are assigned. Read over the ideas and comments which |
| W1:R3.6 | them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the | thoughts to you. What can you trust but what is in your mind? Have |
| W1:R3.6 | start, and then lean back in quiet faith and let the mind employ the | thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to use. |
| W1:R3.14 | now. Do not forget your Father's need of you as you review these | thoughts He gave to you. |
| W1:122.3 | lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of all dead | thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the |
| W1:124.4 | and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His | thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today |
| W1:124.6 | to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their | thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart from time. |
| W1:125.3 | we will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty | thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of |
| W1:126.2 | from you and able to behave in ways which have no bearing on your | thoughts, nor theirs on [yourself]. Therefore your attitudes have no |
| W1:126.8 | will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the | thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the Help you need is there. |
| W1:126.10 | understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where | thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's idea, |
| W1:127.8 | own reality and what love means. He will shine through your idle | thoughts today and help you understand the truth of love. In loving |
| W1:128.4 | Let nothing which relates to body | thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to |
| W1:129.11 | and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever | thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this: |
| W1:131.10 | not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave foolish | thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas |
| W1:131.11 | images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the place of | thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor |
| W1:131.13 | from those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The | thoughts I want to think are not my own. |
| W1:131.14 | eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the | thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world and which you |
| W1:131.18 | today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal | thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come. Today is |
| W1:132.1 | can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The | thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their |
| W1:132.1 | real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by questioning his | thoughts' effects. It is but when their source is raised to question |
| W1:132.2 | easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his | thoughts change with it. Now the source of thought has shifted, for |
| W1:132.3 | from what you thought before. You free the future from all ancient | thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The present now |
| W1:132.5 | came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting for your | thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you |
| W1:132.9 | from all things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the | thoughts that gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you |
| W1:132.9 | gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you let go all | thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts of |
| W1:132.9 | you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let | thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of death. |
| W1:132.9 | and the dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all | thoughts you ever held of death. |
| W1:132.12 | And as it was His thought by which you were created, so it is your | thoughts which made it and must set it free that you may know the |
| W1:132.12 | thoughts which made it and must set it free that you may know the | thoughts you share with God. |
| W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle | thoughts we ever held about it and about all living things we see |
| W1:132.19 | world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these | thoughts to bless the world. But you will sense your own release, |
| W1:134.18 | Let him be freed from all the | thoughts you had of sin in him. And now you are prepared for freedom. |
| W1:135.3 | is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its | thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal |
| W1:135.11 | These are the | thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health |
| W1:136.14 | God has given you is not the truth right now, as it must be. The | thoughts of God are quite apart from time. For time is but another |
| W1:136.21 | be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind harbor attack | thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against uncertainties to |
| W1:137.12 | succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that | thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what is healed to |
| W1:137.14 | And so we will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these | thoughts with which we will conclude today at night as well: |
| W1:137.16 | and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish | thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to make well |
| W1:139.13 | our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all | thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. For several |
| W1:140.8 | not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our own | thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but seek it, |
| W1:140.11 | we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering | thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one. They |
| W1:R4.1 | following. Thus we review the recent lessons and their central | thoughts in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we |
| W1:R4.4 | which fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind no | thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness |
| W1:R4.5 | to be but what they are—defenses which protect your unforgiving | thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you |
| W1:R4.7 | you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear it of all | thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it |
| W1:R4.9 | lines which God appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the | thoughts you will receive that day. They will not come from you |
| W1:R4.11 | let them be received where they were meant to be. We add no other | thoughts, but let them be the messages they are. We need no more than |
| W1:151.13 | of the thought with which the day begins. And then we watch our | thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in |
| W1:151.14 | Give Him your | thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously |
| W1:151.15 | 15 more before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as all your | thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of God the |
| W1:151.15 | Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone will share the | thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your mind. |
| W1:151.17 | we give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy | thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has our |
| W1:152.15 | Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic | thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for |
| W1:153.9 | has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful | thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely |
| W1:153.13 | which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish | thoughts of sin forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's |
| W1:153.16 | on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our | thoughts to God. |
| W1:156.2 | We are not inconsistent in the | thoughts that we present in our curriculum. Truth must be true |
| W1:157.5 | so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy | thoughts of God. |
| W1:158.7 | touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful | thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it |
| W1:161.4 | all minds, for every mind is one. Such is the truth. Yet do these | thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words bring |
| W1:162.4 | practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no | thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. |
| W1:163.1 | 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 savior |
| W1:163.8 | Death's worshipers may be afraid. And yet can | thoughts like these be fearful? If they saw that it is only this |
| W1:163.9 | things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your | thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen. |
| W1:165.1 | except your own denial of the truth which lies beyond? What but your | thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the |
| W1:167.1 | the one condition in which all that God created share. Like all His | thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no death because what God |
| W1:167.8 | not share with them. The thought of death is not the opposite to | thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the |
| W1:167.8 | to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the | thoughts of God remain forever changeless with the power to extend |
| W1:167.11 | forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. And in His | thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand there is one life and |
| W1:167.11 | one life and that we share with Him, with all creation, with their | thoughts as well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot |
| W1:R5.3 | the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the | thoughts that You have given us. |
| W1:R5.4 | This is the thought which should precede the | thoughts that we review. Each one but clarifies some aspect of this |
| W1:R5.6 | alone knows love. This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its | thoughts, knows Its Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its |
| W1:R5.10 | Release me as you practice once again the | thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need and |
| W1:R5.10 | and knows the answer God has given Him. Together we review these | thoughts. Together we devote our time and effort to them. And |
| W1:R5.14 | day. No thought that we review but we surround with it and use the | thoughts to hold it up before our minds and keep it clear in our |
| W1:181.8 | And we will also use these | thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not seek for long |
| W1:182.7 | He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a world of alien | thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His |
| W1:183.3 | a star; a miracle of grace. The sick arise, healed of their sickly | thoughts. The blind can see; the deaf can hear; the sorrowful cast |
| W1:183.7 | Hear nothing else. Let all your | thoughts become anchored on this. No other words we use except at the |
| W1:183.9 | the all-encompassing idea which holds your mind completely. Let all | thoughts be still except this one. And to all other thoughts respond |
| W1:183.9 | Let all thoughts be still except this one. And to all other | thoughts respond with this, and see God's Name replace the thousand |
| W1:183.9 | and see God's Name replace the thousand little names you gave your | thoughts, not realizing that there is One Name for all there is and |
| W1:183.11 | unneeded when God's Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's | Thoughts become his own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, |
| W1:186.13 | to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has | thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees |
| W1:187.2 | perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the | thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you |
| W1:187.5 | thought remains and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving. | Thoughts extend as they are shared, for they cannot be lost. There is |
| W1:188.3 | forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all | thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all |
| W1:188.6 | give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world and let your | thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest |
| W1:188.6 | your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest | thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, |
| W1:188.6 | outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. These | thoughts you think with Him. They recognize their home. And they |
| W1:188.8 | coming nearer to the light in us today. We take our wandering | thoughts and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with |
| W1:188.8 | and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the | thoughts we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the |
| W1:189.7 | Simply do this: be still and lay aside all | thoughts of what you are and what God is, all concepts you have |
| W1:189.10 | look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no | thoughts we think apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we |
| W1:190.5 | It is your | thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can |
| W1:190.6 | does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your | thoughts. And it will change entirely as you elect to change your |
| W1:190.7 | represent its pains. Your strange desires bring it evil dreams. Your | thoughts of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind forgiveness |
| W1:190.9 | where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all | thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay |
| W1:191.5 | But let today's idea find a place among your | thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and all the worldly |
| W1:191.5 | thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and all the worldly | thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and |
| W1:192.7 | born of error. We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful | thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light, our minds engaged in |
| W1:193.4 | The One Whom God created to replace the foolish | thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy Son with peace |
| W1:194.2 | passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression, | thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept |
| W1:194.8 | thus you 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 |
| 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 cause, |
| W1:196.3 | see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past all | thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of liberation and of |
| W1:196.3 | looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to | thoughts of liberation and of life. |
| W1:196.7 | shift has been accomplished, you cannot perceive that it is but your | thoughts that bring you fear and your deliverance depends on you. |
| W1:196.8 | you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own | thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe that |
| W1:197.2 | easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their | thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must become |
| W1:197.9 | that you do is given unto Him. All that you think can only be His | thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of God. Earn now the |
| W1:197.9 | that you think can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy | thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when |
| W1:198.8 | can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by | thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need |
| W1:198.13 | Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of | thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the |
| W1:198.14 | no condemnation in him. He is perfect in his holiness. He needs no | thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts when everything is his? |
| W1:199.2 | and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack | thoughts cannot enter such a mind because it has been given to the |
| W1:R6.2 | in mind, we start our practicing in which we carefully review the | thoughts the Holy Spirit has bestowed on us in our last 20 lessons. |
| W1:R6.10 | each day's idea, we will add but few formal expressions for specific | thoughts to aid your practicing. Instead we give these times of quiet |
| W1:R6.10 | the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives our | thoughts whatever meaning they may have. |
| W1:213.1 | me learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in place of | thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I |
| W2:I.8 | to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has held us up. His | thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has called to |

| W2:221.2 | one intent—to hear our Father's answer to our call, to let our | thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what |
| W2:222.1 | I live and move, the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its | thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with |
| W2:223.1 | I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no | thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are |
| W2:229.2 | keeping my Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all the | thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving |

| W2:232.1 | to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my | thoughts be still of You and of Your Love, and let me sleep sure of |
| W2:233.1 | Father, I give You all my | thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me |
| W2:234.1 | So brief the interval, there was no lapse in continuity nor break in | thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened |
| W2:236.2 | Father, my mind is open to Your | thoughts and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind |
| W2:WIW.2 | Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane | thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes |
| W2:249.2 | them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with | thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as |
| W2:WIS.3 | of all illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from | thoughts which are untrue. They are the “proof” that what has no |
| W2:252.1 | My Self is holy beyond all the | thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its shimmering and |
| W2:254.2 | Today we let no ego | thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we |
| 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 we |
| W2:257.1 | be determined to remember what we want today that we may unify our | thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would |
| W2:265.1 | What is reflected here is in God's Mind. The images I see reflect my | thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God's. And so I can perceive |
| W2:265.2 | In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your | thoughts and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, |
| W2:275.2 | 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 safety that I |
| W2:278.2 | Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish | thoughts about myself and my creation and have brought a dream of |
| W2:281.1 | he has forgotten who he is, and that he is as You created him. Your | Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or |
| W2:281.1 | think and put my little, meaningless ideas in place of where Your | Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my |
| W2:281.1 | Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my | thoughts. The thoughts I think with You can only bless. The thoughts |
| W2:281.1 | and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The | thoughts I think with You can only bless. The thoughts I think with |
| W2:281.1 | but my thoughts. The thoughts I think with You can only bless. The | thoughts I think with You alone are true. |
| W2:284.1 | more, and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to change all | thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, go past |
| W2:285.1 | but them to come and realize my invitation will be answered by the | thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only |
| W2:WIRW.3 | What need has such a mind for | thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it perceive |
| W2:291.2 | This day my mind is quiet to receive the | thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You instead of |
| W2:293.1 | All fear is past because its source is gone and all its | thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state, whose |
| W2:294.1 | for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for | thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love |
| W2:296.1 | You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours and have no | thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would |
| W2:303.1 | Watch with me, angels; watch with me today. Let all God's holy | thoughts surround me and be still with me while Heaven's Son is born. |
| W2:WICR.1 | Creation is the sum of all God's | thoughts, in number infinite and everywhere without all limit. Only |
| W2:WICR.1 | that It created suffers any change. Forever and forever are God's | thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time |

| W2:326.1 | Heaven of Your Love, where earth will disappear and separate | thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God. |
| W2:WIE.4 | To know Reality is not to see the ego and its | thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, |
| W2:334.1 | must be vain and dreams are gone, even while they are woven out of | thoughts that rest on false perception. Let me not accept such meager |
| W2:338.1 | him. He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external things. His | thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts belong to him |
| W2:338.1 | all external things. His thoughts can frighten him, but since these | thoughts belong to him alone, he has the power to change them and |
| W2:338.2 | my Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have | thoughts that will frighten me until I learn that You have given me |

| M:18.1 | real. And this can only be impossible. Reality is changeless. Magic | thoughts are but illusions. Otherwise salvation would be only the |
| M:18.2 | God's teachers’ major lesson is to learn how to react to magic | thoughts wholly without anger. Only in this way can they proclaim the |

| W1:26.1 | can be attacked, you are not invulnerable. You see attack as a real | threat. That is because you believe that you can really attack. And |
| W1:135.2 | is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A sense of | threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a belief that |
| W1:135.3 | 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 terror |

| W1:153.2 | The world gives rise but to defensiveness. For | threat brings anger, anger makes attack seem reasonable, honestly |
| W1:153.2 | righteous in the name of self defense. Yet is defensiveness a double | threat. For it attests to weakness and sets up a system of defense |
| W1:153.4 | seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The sense of | threat the world encourages is so much deeper and so far beyond the |
| W1:153.20 | We call upon His strength each time we feel the | threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will |

| W1:196.2 | 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 it fail |

| Tx:6.40 | no barrier at all to the communication of God. Thus, being is never | threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego never was |
| Tx:7.57 | in a completely insane way. It does not perceive its existence as | threatened by projecting the threat onto you and perceiving your |
| Tx:14.64 | experiences to confirm what you have learned. When your peace is | threatened or disturbed in any way, say to yourself, |

| Tx:14.14 | The temple you restore becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt | through you. And everything you give to God is yours. Thus He |
| Tx:14.21 | anything? Yet even this strange and twisted effort to communicate | through not communicating holds enough of love to make it meaningful |
| Tx:14.23 | concealed. We must open all doors and let the light come streaming | through. There are no hidden chambers in God's temple. Its gates are |
| Tx:14.31 | accepting it as His, with all His love as yours. All honor to you | through Him, and through Him unto God. |
| Tx:14.31 | His, with all His love as yours. All honor to you through Him, and | through Him unto God. |
| Tx:14.32 | save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the Father that | through Him you would be released from littleness to glory. To what |
| Tx:14.34 | the meeting place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His Son | through Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot |
| Tx:14.35 | Let your minds wander not | through darkened corridors, away from light's center. You may choose |
| Tx:14.36 | the place where you must meet with truth. And there you must be led, | through gentle understanding which can lead you nowhere else. Where |
| Tx:14.56 | Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His communications | through you so you can understand them. God has no secret |
| Tx:14.70 | as holy by His Presence. Thank God that He is there and works | through you. And all His works are yours. He offers you a miracle |
| Tx:14.70 | are yours. He offers you a miracle with every one you let Him do | through you. |
| Tx:14.71 | 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 Son's. |
| Tx:14.75 | is impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He will do | through you, and you must be convinced you did them through Him. It |
| Tx:14.75 | that He will do through you, and you must be convinced you did them | through Him. It is impossible to deny the Source of effects so |
| Tx:15.13 | friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives their blessed instant to you | through your giving it. As you give it, He offers it to you. |
| Tx:15.15 | instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant | through the Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him. |
| Tx:15.17 | is wholly without fear. It will come, being the lesson God gives you | through the Teacher He has appointed to translate time into eternity. |
| Tx:15.17 | contained in time. His teaching is for you because His joy is yours. | Through Him you stand before God's altar, where He gently translates |
| Tx:15.19 | have chosen by their reactions. A Son of God who has been released | through the Holy Spirit in a brother, if the release is complete, is |
| Tx:15.20 | will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released | through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy |
| Tx:15.25 | it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude, for it reaches you | through Him from Magnitude. You do not have to strive for it because |
| Tx:15.28 | Decide for God | through Him. For littleness and the belief that you can be content |
| Tx:15.29 | give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself | through you. He reaches from you to everyone and beyond everyone to |
| Tx:15.62 | not the holy instant 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 |
| Tx:15.63 | It is | through us that peace will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in |
| Tx:15.64 | and you will experience the full communication of ideas with ideas. | Through your ability to do this, you will learn what you must be, for |
| Tx:15.65 | only to get something. And it would keep the giver bound to itself | through guilt. |
| Tx:15.66 | that no one recognizes it. For the ego always seems to attract | through love and has no attraction at all to anyone who perceives |
| Tx:15.66 | has no attraction at all to anyone who perceives that it attracts | through guilt. |
| Tx:15.72 | ideas as good or bad. What makes another guilty and holds him | through guilt is “good.” What releases him from guilt is “bad,” |
| Tx:15.75 | His voice your own need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot teach | through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you believe |
| Tx:15.77 | and so strong that it can overcome even this without fear. It is | through the holy instant that what seems impossible is accomplished, |
| Tx:15.80 | at all. You but seek in them what you have thrown away. And | through them you will never learn the value of what you have cast |
| Tx:15.82 | separate bodies you perceive. For all its parts are joined in God | through Christ, where they become like to their Father. For Christ |
| Tx:15.88 | denied his gift to you. His body cannot give it. And seek it not | through yours. Yet your minds are already continuous, and their union |
| Tx:15.92 | it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you, and let me celebrate your birth | through Him. The only gift I can accept of you is the gift I gave to |
| Tx:15.95 | is always fear and nothing else. It is not necessary to follow fear | through all the circuitous routes by which it burrows underground and |
| Tx:15.104 | is the condition for the awareness of your relationship with God. | Through guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from |
| Tx:15.104 | guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from yourself. | Through peace you invite them back and realize that they are where |
| Tx:16.1 | and would have you teach it is not understandable. When He relates | through you, He does not relate through the ego to another ego. He |
| Tx:16.1 | not understandable. When He relates through you, He does not relate | through the ego to another ego. He does not join in pain, knowing |
| Tx:16.2 | —if you will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate | through you, you will empathize with strength and both of you will |
| Tx:16.6 | And let Him offer you His strength and His perception to be shared | through you. |
| Tx:16.8 | will not meet them secretly, for He would share everything you give | through Him. And that is why He gives it. |
| Tx:16.9 | What you give | through Him is for the whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him |
| Tx:16.13 | to convince you of the reality of what has clearly been accomplished | through your willingness, as long as you believe that you must |
| Tx:16.21 | yours. For certainly what He has taught, and what you have taught | through Him, have nothing in common with what you taught before He |
| Tx:16.25 | as part of the Self you do not know. And they communicate to you | through the Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for |
| Tx:16.31 | symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. You will go | through this last undoing quite unharmed and will at last emerge as |
| Tx:16.40 | Would you not go | through fear to love? For such the journey seems to be. Love calls, |
| Tx:16.52 | And it is this theme which is acted out in the special relationship. | Through the death of your self, you think you can attack another self |
| Tx:16.74 | you seek. And even when the hatred and the savagery break briefly | through into awareness, the illusion of love is not profoundly |
| Tx:16.75 | the holy instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach | through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The holy |
| Tx:16.75 | holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in salvation | through vengeance for the past. In the holy instant, it is accepted |
| Tx:16.80 | close relationship with Him is to accept relationships as real and | through their reality to give over all illusions for the reality of |
| Tx:17.6 | peace of mind because another is attempting to solve his problems | through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this |
| Tx:17.8 | This little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride | through time into eternity and beyond all ugliness into beauty that |
| Tx:17.16 | And finally why all such relationships become the attempt at union | through the body, for only bodies can be seen as means for vengeance. |
| Tx:17.26 | brothers. They were not created to enable you to hurt yourselves | through them. They were created to create with you. This is the truth |
| Tx:17.30 | Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the separation. And | through Him have all your holy relationships been carefully preserved |
| Tx:17.37 | will not see the frame at all because the gift can only be accepted | through your willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. |
| Tx:17.42 | the glory and keeping no illusions of where they are. They are in us | through His ascendance. What He has given is His. It shines in every |
| Tx:17.56 | to Him Who gave you your release, and Who would extend it | through you. |
| Tx:17.62 | the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego believes in “solving” conflict | through fragmentation and does not perceive the situation as a whole. |
| Tx:17.67 | by you. You did not set it because holiness cannot be seen except | through faith, and your relationship was not holy because your faith |
| Tx:18.11 | Heaven is restored to all the Sonship | through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, whole and |
| Tx:18.12 | Return with me to Heaven, walking together out of this world and | through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds within it. |
| Tx:18.21 | relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed | through your holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one |
| Tx:18.21 | and one which you will share with all who come within your sight. | Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it will |
| Tx:18.21 | as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken everyone | through you who offered your relationship to Him. If you but |
| Tx:18.21 | relationship to Him. If you but recognized His gratitude! Or mine | through His! For we are joined as in one purpose, being of one mind |
| Tx:18.43 | Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy | |
| Tx:18.45 | Who has a special function here. It will become the happy dream | through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe |
| Tx:18.52 | attacked the body. It can project its guilt, but it will not lose it | through projection. And though it clearly can misperceive the |
| Tx:18.62 | to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not | through destruction, not through a “breaking out,” but merely by a |
| Tx:18.62 | where you can be yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not | through a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For |
| Tx:18.69 | the body's value from your mind. Here is the quick and open door | through which you slip past centuries of effort and escape from time. |
| Tx:18.86 | The barren sands, the darkness and the lifelessness are seen only | through the body's eyes. Its vision is distorted, and the messages it |
| Tx:18.87 | God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit | through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and leave you |
| Tx:18.87 | Him at the outside ring of fear, but He would lead you safely | through and far beyond. |
| Tx:18.92 | substantial. You will not bruise yourself against them in traveling | through. Let your Guide teach you their unsubstantial nature as He |
| Tx:18.97 | the world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely brought | through the barriers of guilt, washed with forgiveness, and set |
| Tx:18.97 | forgiveness to remind you of all that lies beyond it. Yet it is | through forgiveness that it will be remembered. |
| Tx:19.2 | share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He heals | through you. It is this joining Him in a united purpose which makes |
| Tx:19.6 | set up a goal forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought | through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality |
| Tx:19.6 | through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality | through attack, while the other part would heal and therefore calls |
| Tx:19.12 | Faith is the gift of God, | through Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son |
| Tx:19.12 | upon the Son of God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But | through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven, |
| Tx:19.12 | 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 justification. It |
| Tx:19.12 | 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 him. And |
| Tx:19.13 | in each other. Yet faith unites you in the holiness you see, not | through the body's eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in |
| Tx:19.13 | both of you. And be you healed by grace together, that you may heal | through faith. |
| Tx:19.14 | will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again | through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is |
| Tx:19.21 | sacrosanct to its thought system and quite unapproachable except | through reverence and awe. It is the most “holy” concept in the ego's |
| Tx:19.24 | and so easily escaped from that its whole correction is like walking | through a mist into the sun? For that is all it is. Perhaps you would |
| Tx:19.25 | And only an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp it out | through fear. |
| Tx:19.30 | unchangeable and that the mind must accept as true what it is told | through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged insane. The only |
| Tx:19.41 | He would bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this except | through you? Would you let a little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a |
| Tx:19.51 | and return with word of what they saw. Fear's messengers are trained | through terror, and they tremble when their master calls upon them to |
| Tx:19.53 | has given you love's messengers to send instead of those you trained | through fear. They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear |
| Tx:19.56 | of you. To the ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved | through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of |
| Tx:19.64 | outside. How easily the gates are opened from within to let peace | through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk |
| Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to seek for pleasure | through the body and not find pain. It is essential that this |
| Tx:19.76 | Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent | through Him returns to Him, seeking itself along the way and finding |
| Tx:19.78 | laugh at death. The sentence sin would lay upon him he can escape | through your forgiveness. |
| Tx:19.83 | You who are dedicated to the incorruptible have been given | through your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What |
| Tx:19.97 | 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 you look on |
| Tx:19.97 | innocence born of complete forgiveness of each other's illusions and | through the eyes of faith, which sees them not. |
| Tx:19.110 | Here is the only purpose that gives this world and the long journey | through this world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they |
| Tx:20.6 | Gifts are not made | through bodies if they be truly given and received. For bodies can |
| Tx:20.14 | the thorns and nails, and his strong arm is free to guide you safely | through them and beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior |
| Tx:20.15 | Here is your savior and your friend, released from crucifixion | through your vision and free to lead you now where he would be. He |
| Tx:20.19 | Do you like what you have made—a world of murder and attack | through which you thread your timid way through constant dangers, |
| Tx:20.19 | a world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid way | through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that |
| Tx:20.20 | you not wondered what the world is really like; how it would look | through happy eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on yourself. |
| Tx:20.23 | its arrogance and yet so tiny and so meaningless it slips unnoticed | through the universe of truth, becomes your guide. To it you turn to |
| Tx:20.31 | And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It is upheld | through all temptation to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is of |
| Tx:20.38 | made glad. Forget not Who has given you the gifts you give, and | through your not forgetting this will you remember Who gave the gifts |
| Tx:20.40 | Father, and you will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift | through him. What is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful |
| Tx:20.41 | would do? There is but one. The little breath of eternity that runs | through time like golden light is all the same—nothing before it, |
| Tx:20.43 | the gift in both of you will offer and receive it for you both. And | through His vision will you see it, and through His understanding |
| Tx:20.43 | receive it for you both. And through His vision will you see it, and | through His understanding recognize it and love it as your own. |
| Tx:20.48 | relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power | through relationships. And its relationships must be unholy, for what |
| Tx:20.54 | safe return. Here is the way to true relationships held gently open, | through which you walk together, leaving the body thankfully behind |
| Tx:20.65 | The body cannot be looked upon except | through judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack vision |
| Tx:20.65 | serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose | through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is |
| Tx:20.67 | is given you who see your brother sinless. Truth is restored to you | through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for |
| Tx:20.67 | Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you | through your desire for something else. Open the holy place which you |
| Tx:20.72 | it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look | through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned before you. All |
| Tx:21.3 | and fall because of what they did not recognize, or walk unharmed | through open doorways which they thought were closed. And so it is |
| Tx:21.3 | the stones you did not recognize, but fail to be aware you can go | through the doors you thought were closed but which stand open before |
| Tx:21.5 | There is no need to learn | through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are |
| Tx:21.6 | it. They think they know their way about in it. They learned it, not | through joyous lessons, but through the stern necessity of limits |
| Tx:21.6 | way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous lessons, but | through the stern necessity of limits they believed they could not |
| Tx:21.6 | their choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they learned | through pain. And everything they think is in it serves to remind |
| Tx:21.32 | and vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is reached. | Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away |
| Tx:21.32 | is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. Yet Heaven is reached | through them. |
| Tx:21.77 | attack. And what is this decision but the choice whether to see him | through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to you through vision? |
| Tx:21.77 | to see him through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to you | through vision? How this decision leads to its effects is not your |
| Tx:21.84 | up the wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except | through constant vision. And constant vision can be given only those |
| Tx:22.2 | there's nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander | through a world of strangers unlike themselves, living with their |
| Tx:22.6 | you think is you. Reason would tell you that the world you see | through eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To whom |
| Tx:22.7 | you do not understand it. God has no secrets. He does not lead you | through a world of misery, waiting to tell you at the journey's end |
| Tx:22.8 | you blind, dependent on the self you think you made to lead you | through the world it made for you. |
| Tx:22.10 | But what he hears and does not understand will be his native tongue, | through which he will communicate with those around him, and they |
| Tx:22.11 | by anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except | through Christ, Whose vision sees them one. |
| Tx:22.13 | have been restored to those that join, for this they could not do | through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason will tell you |
| Tx:22.13 | them? Reason will tell you that they must have seen each other | through a vision not of the body and communicated in a language the |
| Tx:22.14 | Here is the first direct perception that you have made. You made it | through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an |
| Tx:22.21 | let the Holy Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And | through their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this |
| Tx:22.30 | see your errors and make way for their correction. For reason sees | through errors, telling you what you thought was real is not. Reason |
| 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 cannot |
| Tx:22.34 | 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 the |
| Tx:22.44 | heavy-seeming block, and you will learn how easily your fingers slip | through its nothingness. It is no solid wall. And only an illusion |
| Tx:22.49 | of immovability be long defended from what is quietly passed | through and gone beyond? |
| Tx:22.56 | And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in Heaven | through himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is |
| Tx:22.57 | could there be you will not recognize as a mistake—a shadow | through which you walk completely undismayed? God would let nothing |
| Tx:22.58 | You will see your value | through each other's eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his |
| Tx:22.58 | his savior in place of the attacker who he thought was there. | Through this releasing is the world released. This is your part in |
| Tx:23.6 | of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy | through a world in bitter need of the redemption that your innocence |
| Tx:23.14 | is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality | through battle. Why would you fill your world with conflicts with |
| Tx:23.31 | You who believe you walk in sanity, with feet on solid ground and | through a world where meaning can be found, consider this: [These are |
| 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 gift you |
| Tx:24.25 | in place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save | through the sight of all your misery and the awareness that your plan |
| Tx:24.25 | failed and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? | Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of |
| Tx:24.46 | ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of death. He reaches | through them, holding out His hand that everyone may bless all living |
| Tx:24.53 | made for all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but | through the Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and |
| Tx:24.55 | yours to look upon. Yet will you choose in countless situations and | through time which seems to have no end until the truth be your |
| Tx:24.61 | must apply to what you do with it as your ally. For what you do | through Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment makes no sense |
| 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. And |
| Tx:25.4 | mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the body | through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy |
| Tx:25.7 | may release all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines | through each body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness |
| Tx:25.7 | light merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted | through its gentleness, and nothing hides the face of Christ from its |
| Tx:25.8 | the link that has been given you to join the truth may reach to you | through what you understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as |
| Tx:25.38 | But what is there to see by searching for your savior, seeing Him | through sightless eyes? |
| Tx:25.40 | 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:25.42 | for you. In your forgiveness will you understand His love for you; | through your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be |
| Tx:25.82 | 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 is |
| Tx:26.3 | The little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved | through sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this |
| Tx:26.10 | same to Him, because each one is solved in just the same respect and | through the same approach. The aspects which need solving do not |
| Tx:26.33 | in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you | through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in |
| Tx:26.44 | and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing and | through its perceived reality has entered all the world of sick |
| Tx:27.45 | has it been proved and must compel belief. No one is healed | through double messages. If you wish only to be healed, you heal. |
| Tx:27.45 | this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot come | through you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack |
| Tx:29.1 | let Him not come too close, and leave a gap between you and His love | through which you can escape if there be need for you to flee. |
| Tx:29.23 | darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light has come to him | through your forgiveness, he will not forget his savior, leaving him |
| Tx:29.23 | your face he saw the light that he would keep beside him as he walks | through darkness to the everlasting light. |
| Tx:29.70 | judgment, for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be released | through judgment from what judgment must impose. And all the while he |
| Tx:30.2 | with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees you | through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself become preoccupied |
| Tx:30.33 | knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will | through Him. God asks you do your will. He joins with you. He did not |
| Tx:30.35 | thus the rule of fear established there. Now hear God speak to you | through Him Who is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it |
| Tx:30.35 | Himself in all creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you and | through your will created everything. Not one created thing but gives |
| Tx:30.45 | know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine | through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant |
| Tx:30.88 | Do not continue thus, my brothers. We have one Interpreter. And | through His use of symbols are we joined so that they mean the same |
| Tx:31.74 | sight. All things you see are images because you look on them as | through a barrier which dims your sight and warps your vision, so |
| Tx:31.78 | holiness while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen | through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus expect |
| Tx:31.93 | and in constant fear. For it is given you to join with him, and | through the Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the |
| Tx:31.95 | they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo | through the world with every choice they make. For we are one in |
| W1:26.1 | you believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects | through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that will |
| W1:35.2 | 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 see. |
| W1:35.4 | All of them are equally unreal because you do not look upon yourself | through the eyes of holiness. |
| W1:37.1 | in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world | through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed |
| W1:37.1 | No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains | through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because |
| W1:37.2 | why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness | through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of |
| W1:38.1 | you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. | Through your holiness, the power of God is made manifest. Through |
| W1:38.1 | Creator. Through your holiness, the power of God is made manifest. | Through your holiness the power of God is made available. And there |
| W1:41.2 | Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate | through you and out into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and |
| W1:41.4 | first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and to go | through it to the light beyond. |
| W1:42.2 | are and in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Your passage | through time and space is not random. You cannot but be in the right |
| W1:43.9 | I see | through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The |
| W1:44.5 | made up. Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived | through the ego's eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into |
| W1:49.1 | It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all | through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any |
| W1:50.3 | unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. | Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming |
| W1:54.6 | has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been done | through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace |
| W1:58.2 | guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen | through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, |
| W1:59.2 | me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me | through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect |
| W1:59.4 | I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see | through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me |
| W1:59.4 | Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is | through this vision that I choose to see. |
| W1:59.5 | God is the only Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be | through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been |
| 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 in me, |
| W1:60.3 | I trust. 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 |
| W1:60.5 | [49] God's Voice speaks to me all | through the day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to |
| W1:62.1 | is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. | Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your |
| W1:63.1 | you who can learn to recognize the means for letting this be done | through you! What purpose could you have that would bring you greater |
| W1:63.4 | The light of the world brings peace to every mind | through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the |
| W1:64.4 | The world's salvation awaits your forgiveness, because | through it does the Son of God escape from all illusions and thus |
| W1:64.5 | us remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all | through the day as well. |
| W1:66.10 | Thus it must be that your function is established by God | through His Voice or is made by the ego which you have made to |
| W1:67.6 | about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that and | through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing |
| W1:69.5 | seem to be all there is to see. Therefore you do not attempt to go | through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would |
| W1:69.6 | feel them resting on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go | through them. Go on; clouds cannot stop you. |
| W1:69.8 | is given you, and you will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go | through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your |
| W1:69.8 | with God must succeed. Then let the power of God work in you and | through you, that His Will and yours may be done. |
| W1:70.12 | clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you will have to go | through the clouds before you can reach the light. But remember also |
| W1:72.2 | keeping it separate and alone and unable to reach other minds except | through the body which was made to imprison it. The limit on |
| W1:76.3 | think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins | through a sharpened needle will ward off death. You really think you |
| W1:76.12 | Let us today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend | through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice |
| W1:78.6 | 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 held against |
| W1:78.10 | from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see | through Him will free you both. |
| W1:78.11 | the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express | through him the role God gave Him that you might be saved. God thanks |
| W1:R2.3 | will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you | through and carry you beyond them all. |
| W1:81.4 | the light of the world in me. Let the light of the world shine | through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before the light. |
| W1:81.5 | [62] Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. It is | through accepting my function that I will see the light in me. And in |
| W1:82.2 | [63] The light of the world brings peace to every mind | through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the |
| W1:82.2 | is the means by which the light of the world finds expression | through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of |
| W1:82.4 | to yours, [name]. I share the light of the world with you, [name]. | Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is. |
| W1:90.2 | the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me | through my forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle |
| W1:91.13 | and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength will come. It is | through Their strong support that you will feel the strength in you. |
| W1:92.3 | His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees | through the body's eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the |
| W1:92.3 | the sad, the poor, the starving, and the joyless. These are seen | through eyes which cannot see and cannot bless. |
| W1:95.17 | the veil of darkness from the world and let the light in you come | through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self, |
| W1:96.9 | search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this One Self | through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and it. |
| W1:97.5 | with Him you are the Spirit that abides in Him, and Which calls | through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone |
| W1:97.8 | the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world | through Him: |
| W1:97.10 | Expressed | through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this gift which you received |
| W1:99.11 | let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened spots and shine | through them to join them to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be |
| W1:101.1 | just and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus cannot be purchased but | through suffering. |
| W1:105.6 | what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give | through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace |
| W1:106.2 | Listen and hear your Father speak to you | through His appointed Voice, Which silences the thunder of the |
| W1:106.5 | and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God calls to them | through you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could |
| W1:106.5 | to them, for who could reach God's Son except his Father calling | through your Self? |
| W1:106.7 | and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world | through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you receive |
| W1:106.12 | Today the holy Word of God is kept | through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the world |
| W1:107.11 | to Him today and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled | through you. To share His function is to share His joy. His |
| W1:108.12 | of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, and | through him you give to all. |
| W1:109.3 | “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought will carry you | through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, |
| W1:109.4 | you gave your voice to God and now you rest in Him and let Him speak | through you. |
| W1:111.3 | Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one. I see | through strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness is the dark His |
| W1:120.2 | [109] I rest in God. I rest in God today and let Him work in me and | through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty. |
| W1:121.6 | a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the other Self in you. | Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you made and |
| W1:121.7 | your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from hell | through you and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and now. It |
| W1:121.7 | as its hope, do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn | through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you |
| W1:121.9 | are the same. Yet we will try to learn today that they are one | through practicing forgiving toward one whom you think of as an enemy |
| W1:121.11 | never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining | through the ugly picture which you hold of him. Look at this picture |
| W1:122.14 | this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness | through the day: |
| W1:125.2 | This world will change | through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan is simply |
| W1:127.8 | dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He will shine | through your idle thoughts today and help you understand the truth of |
| W1:131.2 | meaningless as they are. Who can use such senseless means and hope | through them to gain in anything? Where can they lead? And what could |
| W1:131.17 | Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some day and | through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that |
| W1:132.20 | Throughout the day, increase the freedom sent | through your ideas to all the world, and say whenever you are tempted |
| W1:133.1 | in teaching there is benefit, particularly after you have gone | through what seems theoretical and far from what the student has |
| W1:134.7 | illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and looks right | through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on lies |
| W1:134.19 | Forgiveness should be practiced | through the day, for there will be so many times when you forget its |
| W1:134.19 | and attack yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see | through this illusion as you tell yourself: |
| W1:135.9 | apart from you, and it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument | through which the mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who |
| W1:135.12 | mind does not plan. It carries out the plans which it receives | through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it |
| W1:137.16 | Let healing be | through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to |
| W1:138.5 | the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to be attained | through learning how to reach them, what they are, and what they |
| W1:R4.5 | Their purpose is to show you something else and hold correction off | through self-deceptions made to take its place. |
| W1:R4.10 | word shine with the meaning God has given it as it was given to you | through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that day give you |
| W1:R4.12 | made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and | through our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to the |
| W1:151.2 | 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, even |
| W1:151.16 | lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to sin and death. | Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed and joyfully |
| W1:151.17 | the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of God, | through us, belongs to everyone. |
| W1:153.9 | fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing | through the world. |
| W1:153.19 | abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us | through the day and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His |
| W1:154.3 | It is | through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His own that you |
| W1:154.4 | It is this joining | through the Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart |
| W1:154.11 | may recognize His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak | through us. He needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to |
| W1:155.5 | their footsteps on the way which God has opened up to you, and them | through you. |
| W1:155.6 | to grasp. Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them | through illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the |
| W1:157.9 | the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained it not | through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what |
| W1:164.8 | in which our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom given us | through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your |
| W1:168.6 | His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us | through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love: |
| W1:169.11 | are laid, to be returned by you from holy instants you receive | through grace in your experience to all who see the light that |
| W1:170.13 | Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks | through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now |
| W1:R5.11 | them to the 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 |
| W1:184.7 | of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go | through. But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, how |
| W1:184.14 | Which He has given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And | through Its use, all foolish separations disappear which kept us |
| W1:188.2 | or from a truer source, that is not but the shadow of the seen | through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It |
| W1:189.2 | which to stay a while. It blesses you throughout the day and watches | through the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It sees |
| W1:189.3 | the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see | through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one belies the |
| W1:189.9 | to him. He does not need His Son to show Him how to find His way. | Through every opened door His love shines outward from its home |
| W1:193.11 | remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind which sees the pain | through eyes the mind directs. |
| W1:198.15 | us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us | through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has |
| W1:199.7 | as bound and helpless and afraid. Let love replace their fears | through you. Accept salvation now, and give your mind to Him Who |
| W1:200.2 | chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win | through losing, nor to die to live. You cannot but be asking for |
| W1:200.3 | have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, | through a door that opens easily to welcome you? |
| W1:217.1 | Who 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 |
| W1:218.1 | condemnation injures me. My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and | through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet |
| W2:I.4 | hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told us, | through His Voice, He would not fail to take when we invited Him. He |
| W2:I.6 | the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as | through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and |
| W2:WF.5 | Do nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do | through Him Who is your Guide, your Savior and Defender, strong in |
| W2:WS.4 | holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. The grass is pushing | through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have come to |
| W2:237.2 | ears which listen to the Voice of God today. Father, I come to You | through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as well. Amen. |
| W2:WIW.5 | function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it | through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die be restored to |
| W2:247.2 | all to me as part of You and my own Self as well. Today I honor You | through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize my Self. |
| W2:256.1 | The way to God is | through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been |
| W2:260.1 | Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, | through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today. |
| W2:263.2 | still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see | through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem |
| W2:269.1 | and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception | through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons to surpass |
| W2:269.1 | me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me and | through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask |
| W2:270.2 | The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and | through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. |
| W2:270.2 | them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And | through His sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the |
| W2:270.2 | our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world | through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son whom |
| W2:274.1 | his sinlessness, the love of brother to his brother and his friend. | Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter |
| W2:274.1 | brother to his brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. | Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light |
| W2:275.2 | that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things | through me. |
| W2:WIHS.1 | the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge | through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone |
| W2:285.2 | Father, my holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and | through forgiveness be restored to sanity. Your Son is still as You |
| W2:WIRW.1 | 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 mind. |
| W2:WIRW.1 | of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except | through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is |
| W2:WIRW.2 | your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, | through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is |
| W2:291.1 | Christ's vision looks | through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace |
| W2:296.1 | that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word | through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would |
| W2:296.1 | Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak | through me, for I would use no words but Yours and have no thoughts |
| W2:296.2 | rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the world | through us to seek and find the easy path to God! |
| W2:298.1 | as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved, sure that I go | through fear to meet my Love. |
| W2:WISC.5 | the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father's Love | through him. |
| W2:301.1 | is it only what You will. Let me today behold it uncondemned | through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let |
| W2:304.1 | of mind reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it | through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs |
| W2:320.2 | can do all things in me and then extend to all the world as well | through me. There is no limit on Your Will. And so all power has been |
| W2:WICR.1 | are God's thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged | through time and after time is done. |
| W2:321.2 | will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom | through the certain way our Father has established. And how sure is |
| W2:329.2 | His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us. | Through it we recognize that we are one. Through it we find our way |
| W2:329.2 | is shared by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. | Through it we find our way at last to God. |
| W2:332.1 | in its own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the light shine | through the dream of darkness, offering it hope and giving it the |
| W2:340.1 | For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision | through forgiveness and be free forever from all suffering. Thanks |
| W2:WAI.3 | of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which | through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is |
| W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the eyes | through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every |
| W2:351.1 | me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, | through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name. |
| W2:352.1 | Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone and judges not. | Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me |
| W2:FL.4 | life that show the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us | through our forgiveness given unto him. |
| W2:FL.6 | we did not understand and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons | through the Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would |
| W2:E.4 | you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him as Guide | through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor |
| W2:E.6 | God's Son as we would love him, and He teaches us how to behold him | through His eyes and love him as He does. You do not walk alone. |

| M:4.5 | First, they must go | through what might be called “a period of undoing.” This need not be |
| M:4.6 | Next, the teacher of God must go | through a “period of sorting-out.” This is always somewhat difficult, |

| M:10.2 | On the contrary, he puts himself in a position where judgment | through him rather than by him can occur. And this judgment is |
| M:11.3 | to answer yours. Gently His Judgment substitutes for yours. And | through this substitution is the ununderstandable made |
| M:12.2 | forms? Their minds are one; their joining is complete. And God works | through them now as One, for that is what they are. |
| M:12.3 | Voice at all, and even they cannot communicate His messages directly | through the Spirit Which gave them. They need a medium through which |
| M:12.3 | directly through the Spirit Which gave them. They need a medium | through which communication becomes possible to those who do not |
| M:12.4 | certain that the body's function is but to let God's Voice speak | through it to human ears. And these ears will carry to the mind of |
| M:13.3 | it really wants to find. Who can escape this self-condemnation? Only | through God's Word could this be possible. For self-condemnation is a |
| M:16.3 | teacher of God himself. He cannot claim that title until he has gone | through the workbook, since we are learning within the framework of |
| M:16.5 | It is better to sit up, in whatever position you prefer. Having gone | through the workbook you must have come to some conclusions in this |
| M:16.10 | all. Yet each temptation to accept magic as true must be abandoned | through his recognition not that it is fearful, not that it is |
| M:16.11 | maintained by just one simple-minded illusion—that it works. All | through his training, every day and hour, and even every minute and |
| M:18.2 | Only in this way can they proclaim the truth about themselves. | Through them, the Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son |
| M:19.4 | your injustice, attributing to God the lens of warped perception | through which you look. Now it belongs to Him and not to you. You are |
| M:21.4 | in his teaching? No, indeed. There are many who must be reached | through words, being as yet unable to hear in silence. The teacher of |
| M:23.5 | has remained with you. Would you not learn the lesson of salvation | through his learning? Why would you choose to start again when he has |
| M:25.5 | new temptation to win back strength by guile. Many have not seen | through the ego's defenses here, although they are not particularly |
| M:29.8 | Him. You are the Son He loves, and it is given you to be the means | through which His Voice is heard around the world to close all things |
| M:29.8 | the sight of all things visible, and to undo all things that change. | Through you is ushered in a world unseen, unheard, yet truly there. |

| W1:62.4 | by practicing today's idea and to use it as frequently as possible | throughout the day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as |

| W1:66.1 | You have surely noticed an emphasis | throughout our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling |
| W1:76.14 | to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to other laws | throughout the day. It is our statement of freedom from all danger |

| W1:94.2 | sinlessness in which you were created and in which you will remain | throughout eternity. |

| Tx:5.2 | themselves call forth different kinds of responses at the same | time and thus deprive others of the joy of responding |
| Tx:5.11 | 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:5.17 | and will be when they have been healed. This alteration of the | time sequence should be quite familiar, because it is very similar to |
| Tx:5.17 | should be quite familiar, because it is very similar to the shift in | time perception which the miracle introduces. The Holy Spirit is the |
| Tx:5.18 | alive by transmitting it from His Mind to yours as long as there is | time. It is partly His and partly yours. The miracle itself is just |
| 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. This |
| Tx:5.36 | Delay is of the ego, because | time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time idea. Both time and |
| Tx:5.36 | is of the ego, because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a | time idea. Both time and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have |
| Tx:5.36 | because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time idea. Both | time and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said before that |
| Tx:5.37 | understandable to another. So it is with the ego and the Soul, with | time and eternity. Eternity is an idea of God, so the Soul |
| Tx:5.37 | Eternity is an idea of God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. | Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego's |
| Tx:5.37 | is the ego's domain, accepts it without question. The only aspect of | time which is really eternal is now. That is what we really mean when |
| Tx:5.37 | now. That is what we really mean when we say that “now is the only | time.” The literal nature of this statement does not mean anything to |
| Tx:5.40 | by welcoming peace. Peace and eternity are as closely related as are | time and war. Perception as well as knowledge derives meaning from |
| Tx:5.42 | teaching device for bringing you home. The Holy Spirit must perceive | time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The mind must be led into |
| Tx:5.42 | it into the timeless. The mind must be led into eternity through | time because, having made time, it is capable of perceiving its |
| Tx:5.42 | The mind must be led into eternity through time because, having made | time, it is capable of perceiving its opposite. |
| Tx:5.51 | teach as much as you learn and that will keep you in balance. The | time is now because you have let it be now. You cannot learn except |
| Tx:5.70 | did not emphasize the destructive results of this decision at that | time. Any decision of the mind will affect both behavior and |
| Tx:5.71 | for theirs. Delay does not matter in eternity, but it is tragic in | time. You have elected to be in time rather than eternity and have |
| Tx:5.71 | in eternity, but it is tragic in time. You have elected to be in | time rather than eternity and have therefore changed your belief in |
| Tx:5.71 | Yet your election is both free and alterable. You do not belong in | time. Your place is only in eternity, where God Himself placed you |
| Tx:5.72 | Guilt feelings are the preservers of | time. They induce fears of future retaliation or abandonment and thus |
| Tx:5.81 | patience can produce immediate effects. This is the way in which | time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite |
| Tx:5.81 | calls upon infinite love, and by producing results now, it renders | time unnecessary. |
| Tx:5.82 | To say that | time is temporary is merely redundant. We have repeatedly said that |
| Tx:5.82 | time is temporary is merely redundant. We have repeatedly said that | time is a learning device which will be abolished when it is no |
| Tx:5.82 | when it is no longer useful. The Holy Spirit, Who speaks for God in | time, also knows that time is meaningless. He reminds you of this in |
| Tx:5.82 | useful. The Holy Spirit, Who speaks for God in time, also knows that | time is meaningless. He reminds you of this in every passing moment |
| Tx:5.82 | is meaningless. He reminds you of this in every passing moment of | time, because it is His special function to return you to eternity |
| Tx:5.86 | at a point in development which does not accord with a point in | time. This clearly could have been a means toward real release from |
| Tx:5.86 | This clearly could have been a means toward real release from the | time belief, had Freud pursued it with an open mind. Freud, however, |
| Tx:5.93 | But the | time is now. You have not been asked to work out the plan of |
| Tx:5.93 | part in His plan and how urgent it is that you fulfill it. There is | time for delay, but there need not be. God weeps at the “sacrifice” |
| Tx:6.2 | helpful learning device. Everyone teaches and teaches all the | time. This is a responsibility which he inevitably assumes the moment |
| Tx:6.5 | how it actually led to the resurrection was not clarified at that | time. Nevertheless, it has a definite contribution to make to your |
| Tx:6.22 | later because they were not wholly ready to follow me at the | time. I emphasize this only because I do not want you to allow any |
| Tx:6.24 | teach rejection. The power of the Sons of God is operating all the | time because they were created as creators. Their influence on each |
| Tx:6.31 | if they meet in the distance, which is the same as in the future if | time and space are one dimension. Your perception will end where it |
| Tx:6.34 | The Holy Spirit uses | time but does not believe in it. Coming from God, He uses everything |
| Tx:6.47 | but He always answers. Everyone has called upon Him for help at one | time or another and in one way or another and has been answered. |
| Tx:6.47 | answered. Since the Holy Spirit answers truly, He answers for all | time, which means that everyone has the answer now. |
| Tx:6.51 | in the Kingdom, where everything lives in God without question. The | time that was spent on questioning in the dream has given way to |
| Tx:6.57 | His Children are wholly joyous. This is an ongoing process, not in | time, but in eternity. God's extending outward, though not His |
| Tx:6.69 | have been necessary. Some people remain at this step for a very long | time, experiencing very acute conflict. At this point, many try to |
| Tx:6.74 | Voice makes it impossible for the learner not to listen. For a | time, then, he is receiving conflicting messages and accepting both. |
| Tx:7.3 | Being limitless, it does not stop. It creates forever, but not in | time. God's creations have always been, because He has always been. |
| Tx:7.5 | are inseparable. God extends outward beyond limits and beyond | time, and you who are co-creators with Him extend His Kingdom forever |
| Tx:7.7 | must be understood that the word “first” as applied to Him is not a | time concept. He is first in the sense that He is the first in the |
| Tx:7.7 | Prime Creator, because He created His co-creators. Because He did, | time applies neither to Him nor to what He created. The “last step” |
| Tx:7.26 | the Kingdom, because that is where He placed it. It does not wait in | time. It merely rests in the Kingdom, because it belongs there, as |
| Tx:7.43 | the healer may not be experiencing himself as truly helpful at the | time, but the belief that he is, in the mind of another, helps him. |
| Tx:7.50 | it. It incorporates to take away. It literally believes that every | time it deprives someone of something, it has increased. We have |
| Tx:7.63 | peace, you must give up the idea of conflict entirely and for all | time. [This requires vigilance only as long as you do not recognize |
| Tx:7.89 | His perception is true. The ego can be completely forgotten at any | time, because it was always a belief that is totally incredible. No |
| Tx:8.44 | of any value, although he did not know its worthlessness at the | time. He was ashamed to return to his father because he thought he |
| Tx:8.108 | physical healing because he is fearful of bodily harm. At the same | time, however, if he were healed physically, the threat to his |
| Tx:9.2 | 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 ego, he will |
| Tx:9.8 | or you will forget yours. Accept only the function of healing in | time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the function to |
| Tx:9.8 | Accept only the function of healing in time, because that is what | time is for. God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do |
| Tx:9.17 | by the same standard as I have. The ego literally lives on borrowed | time, and its days are numbered. Do not fear the Last Judgment, but |
| Tx:9.17 | the Last Judgment, but welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's | time is borrowed from your eternity. This is the Second Coming, which |
| Tx:9.36 | because miracles are a way of giving acceptance and receiving it. In | time, the giving comes first, though they are simultaneous in |
| Tx:9.36 | When you have learned that they are the same, the need for | time is over. |
| Tx:9.37 | Eternity is one | time, its only dimension being “always.” This cannot mean anything to |
| Tx:9.59 | can make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you. | Time and eternity are both in your mind and will conflict until you |
| Tx:9.59 | eternity are both in your mind and will conflict until you perceive | time solely as a means to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long |
| Tx:9.59 | to you is caused by factors outside yourself. You must learn that | time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the world can |
| Tx:9.106 | remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is true in | time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there will be choices. |
| Tx:9.106 | this is not true in eternity, it is true in time, so that while | time lasts in your minds, there will be choices. Time itself was your |
| Tx:9.106 | time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there will be choices. | Time itself was your choice. |
| Tx:9.107 | to become preoccupied with the temporal, you are living in | time. As always, your choice is determined by what you value. Time |
| Tx:9.107 | in time. As always, your choice is determined by what you value. | Time and eternity cannot both be real, because they contradict each |
| Tx:10.7 | however much it is denied. Your denial of its reality arrests it in | time but not in eternity. That is why your creations have not ceased |
| Tx:10.8 | Waiting is possible only in | time, but time has no meaning. You who made delay can leave time |
| Tx:10.8 | Waiting is possible only in time, but | time has no meaning. You who made delay can leave time behind simply |
| Tx:10.8 | only in time, but time has no meaning. You who made delay can leave | time behind simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings |
| Tx:10.13 | of this? Your will is His Life, which He has given to you. Even in | time you cannot live apart from Him, for sleep is not death. What He |
| Tx:10.30 | to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless him in | time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot separate you from God if |
| Tx:10.30 | Son forever. 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 |
| Tx:10.62 | ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which knows no | time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or you will |
| Tx:11.63 | violate every law of reality as this world judges it. Every law of | time and space, of magnitude and mass, of prediction and control is |
| Tx:11.91 | Yet consider this: You are not guiltless in | time, but in eternity. You have “sinned” in the past, but there is no |
| Tx:11.91 | “sinned” 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 |
| Tx:11.92 | Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end of | time, where you must be because He is with you. He has always undone |
| Tx:11.93 | Being in him, he has found it. When he finds it is only a matter of | time, and time is but an illusion. For the Son of God is guiltless |
| Tx:11.93 | him, he has found it. When he finds it is only a matter of time, and | time is but an illusion. For the Son of God is guiltless now, and the |
| Tx:11.95 | faith with his Father for you. There is no road to travel on and no | time to travel through. For God waits not for His Son in time, being |
| Tx:11.95 | 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 always |
| Tx:11.96 | punished for what you have done and thus depends on one-dimensional | time, proceeding from past to future. No one who believes this can |
| Tx:11.96 | is God's, not the ego's. And immortality is the opposite of | time, for time passes away, while immortality is constant. |
| Tx:11.96 | God's, not the ego's. And immortality is the opposite of time, for | time passes away, while immortality is constant. |
| Tx:11.97 | past has never been, and so the future is needless. The future, in | time, is always associated with expiation, and only guilt could |
| Tx:12.7 | free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you. Most of the | time you dismiss it, but you do not dismiss the ego's thought system. |
| Tx:12.26 | The ego has a very strange notion of | time, and it is with this notion that your questioning might well |
| Tx:12.26 | the past and in the end believes that the past is the only aspect of | time that is meaningful. You will remember that we said its emphasis |
| Tx:12.29 | without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirit's perception of | time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is equally clear, |
| Tx:12.29 | ego's. The reason is equally clear, for they perceive the goal of | time as diametrically opposed. |
| Tx:12.30 | the need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the function of | time as temporary, serving only His teaching function, which is |
| Tx:12.30 | by definition. His emphasis is therefore on the only aspect of | time which can extend to the infinite, for now is the closest |
| Tx:12.31 | The ego, on the other hand, regards the function of | time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for like the |
| Tx:12.31 | eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of | time as its own. The continuity of past and future under its |
| Tx:12.31 | future under its direction is the only purpose the ego perceives in | time, and it closes over the present so that no gap in its own |
| Tx:12.31 | own continuity can occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in | time, while the Holy Spirit would release you from it. It is His |
| Tx:12.32 | You too will interpret the function of | time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the world |
| Tx:12.32 | as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the world of | time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time in which |
| Tx:12.32 | the world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of | time in which healing can occur. For healing cannot be accomplished |
| Tx:12.32 | present and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive future. And | time will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is nothing. |
| Tx:12.48 | Time can release as well as imprison, depending on whose | |
| 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 before |
| Tx:12.50 | and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is before | time was and will be when time is no more. In it is everything that |
| Tx:12.50 | to reach each other. The present is before time was and will be when | time is no more. In it is everything that is eternal, and they are |
| Tx:12.51 | can be accepted only without limit. In this one still dimension of | time, which does not change and where there is no sight of what you |
| Tx:12.52 | Now is the | time of salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach out to all |
| Tx:12.52 | Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from | time. Reach out to all your brothers and touch them with the touch of |
| Tx:12.61 | not really want the world you see, for it has disappointed you since | time began. The homes you built have never sheltered you. The roads |
| Tx:12.61 | and no city that you built has withstood the crumbling assault of | time. Nothing you made but has the mark of death upon it. Hold it not |
| Tx:12.66 | wholly true and wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in | time, and it will fade. But this one thing is always yours, being the |
| Tx:12.67 | the welcome that you offer knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on | time, and the real world is but your welcome of what always was. |
| Tx:12.70 | that do not block the way to light. And what else could you need? In | time He gives you all the things that you need have and will renew |
| Tx:12.70 | to make certain that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in | time. He knows that you are not at home there, and He wills no delay |
| Tx:12.75 | us 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. |
| Tx:12.76 | the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in | time is needed, for joy cannot establish its eternal reign where |
| Tx:13.4 | no Thoughts He does not share. His message speaks of timelessness in | time, and that is why Christ's vision looks on everything with love. |
| Tx:13.5 | Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the end of | time by bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness and |
| Tx:13.8 | we will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly | time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the |
| Tx:13.86 | to be received, even as God gave it first to His Son. The first in | time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who |
| Tx:14.38 | is safe, but wherein is your safety apart from it? The making of | time to take the place of timelessness lay in the decision to be not |
| Tx:14.39 | are meaningless, for reality must be one. It cannot change with | time or mood or chance. Its changelessness is what makes it real. |
| Tx:14.46 | The reflections which you accept into the mirror of your minds in | time but bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity itself is |
| Tx:14.46 | bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all | time. Reach out of time and touch it, with the help of its reflection |
| Tx:14.46 | or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all time. Reach out of | time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And you |
| Tx:14.46 | it, with the help of its reflection in you. And you will turn from | time to holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls |
| Tx:14.69 | the past binds Him not and therefore binds not you. He does not see | time as you do. And each miracle He offers you corrects your use of |
| Tx:14.69 | time as you do. And each miracle He offers you corrects your use of | time and makes it His. |
| Tx:15.1 | no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the | time? Yet that is what time is for—to learn just that and nothing |
| Tx:15.1 | merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what | time is for—to learn just that and nothing more. God's Teacher |
| Tx:15.1 | of Him. When this has happened, you will no longer need a teacher or | time in which to learn. |
| Tx:15.2 | discouragement from which you suffer is your belief that this takes | time, and that the results of the Holy Spirit's teaching are far in |
| Tx:15.2 | 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 friend in |
| 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 |
| Tx:15.2 | with it is due but to your identification with the ego, which uses | time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy |
| Tx:15.2 | its belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses | time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal and end of |
| Tx:15.3 | The ego is an ally of | time, but not a friend. For it is as mistrustful of death as it is of |
| Tx:15.5 | ego's version of immortality. And it is this the ego's version of | time supports. |
| Tx:15.6 | him hell is here and bids him leap from hell into oblivion. The only | time the ego allows anyone to look upon with some amount of |
| Tx:15.7 | How bleak and despairing is the ego's use of | time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical insistence |
| Tx:15.8 | present useless. There is no escape from fear in the ego's use of | time. For time, according to its teaching, is nothing but a teaching |
| Tx:15.8 | useless. There is no escape from fear in the ego's use of time. For | time, according to its teaching, is nothing but a teaching device for |
| Tx:15.10 | This lesson takes no | time. For what is time without a past and future? It has taken time |
| Tx:15.10 | This lesson takes no time. For what is | time without a past and future? It has taken time to misguide you so |
| Tx:15.10 | no time. For what is time without a past and future? It has taken | time to misguide you so completely, but it takes no time at all to be |
| Tx:15.10 | It has taken time to misguide you so completely, but it takes no | time at all to be what you are. Begin to practice the Holy Spirit's |
| Tx:15.10 | 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 this very |
| Tx:15.10 | Take this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of | time. Nothing can reach you here out of the past, and it is here that |
| Tx:15.10 | holy instant wherein holiness was born again, you will go forth in | time without fear and with no sense of change with time. |
| Tx:15.10 | will go forth in time without fear and with no sense of change with | time. |
| Tx:15.11 | Time is inconceivable without change, yet holiness does not change. | |
| Tx:15.12 | yourself, “How 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 |
| Tx:15.13 | receive. They attest to your willingness to be released and to offer | time to the Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an instant? It |
| Tx:15.13 | giving this blessed instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by | time and thus make time their friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives |
| Tx:15.13 | instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by time and thus make | time their friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives their blessed |
| Tx:15.15 | Time is your friend if you leave it to the Holy Spirit to use. He | |
| Tx:15.15 | very little to restore God's whole power to you. He Who transcends | time for you understands what time is for. Holiness lies not in time |
| Tx:15.15 | whole power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands what | time is for. Holiness lies not in time but in eternity. There never |
| Tx:15.15 | time for you understands what time is for. Holiness lies not in | time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which God's Son |
| Tx:15.15 | God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is beyond | time, for his purity remains forever beyond attack and without |
| Tx:15.15 | his purity remains forever beyond attack and without variability. | Time stands still in his holiness and changes not. And so it is no |
| Tx:15.15 | stands still in his holiness and changes not. And so it is no longer | time at all. For, caught in the single instant of the eternal |
| Tx:15.16 | The Atonement is in | time but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds |
| Tx:15.16 | The Atonement is in time but not for | time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God |
| Tx:15.16 | you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by | time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An |
| Tx:15.16 | will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take | time, when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed? Truth |
| Tx:15.16 | obstacles to learning it have been removed? Truth is so far beyond | time that all of it happens at once. For as it was created one, so |
| Tx:15.16 | at once. For as it was created one, so its oneness depends not on | time at all. |
| Tx:15.17 | Do not be concerned with | time and fear not the instant of holiness which will remove all fear. |
| Tx:15.17 | God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed to translate | time into eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to |
| Tx:15.17 | is to teach God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in | time. His teaching is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him |
| Tx:15.18 | have, you have forever. The blessed instant reaches out to encompass | time, as God extends Himself to encompass you. You who have spent |
| Tx:15.23 | Yet what you do not realize each | time you choose is that your choice is your evaluation of yourself. |
| Tx:15.24 | you owe yourself, and one which you must learn to remember all the | time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love |
| Tx:15.26 | God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy Spirit in you every | time you make a decision. For every decision you make does answer |
| Tx:15.35 | learning unless you prefer to believe that what God wills takes | time. And this means only that you would rather delay the recognition |
| Tx:15.38 | willing to meet its conditions. You can claim the holy instant any | time and anywhere you want it. In your practice, try to give over |
| Tx:15.39 | to which you learn to be willing to accept me is the measure of the | time in which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make |
| Tx:15.39 | in the mind of the host of God depends on willingness and not on | time. The reason why this course is simple is that truth is simple. |
| Tx:15.40 | go. The simple reason, simply stated, is this: The holy instant is a | time in which you receive and give perfect communication. This means, |
| Tx:15.40 | and give perfect communication. This means, however, that it is a | time in which your mind is open, both to receive and give. It is the |
| Tx:15.54 | neither less nor more. He needs them all equally, and so do you. In | time you have been told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let |
| Tx:15.62 | Yet the awareness of changelessness comes swiftly as the veil of | time is pushed aside. No one who has not yet experienced the lifting |
| Tx:15.79 | you as your Teacher until the holy instant has extended far beyond | time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything |
| Tx:15.92 | It is in your power in | time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in |
| Tx:15.92 | this world, the attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither | time nor season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy |
| Tx:15.92 | is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I will your release. The | time of Christ we celebrate together, for it has no meaning if we are |
| Tx:15.93 | The holy instant is truly the | time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon |
| Tx:15.94 | that I was born to give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The | time of Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered |
| Tx:15.94 | give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The time of Christ is the | time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to everyone. And by |
| Tx:15.94 | power to make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the | time of Christ be now. |
| Tx:15.102 | but shining in the Heaven within and accept it as the sign the | time of Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of |
| Tx:15.102 | surrounds it. No fear can touch the host who cradles God in the | time of Christ, for the Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence |
| Tx:15.108 | comes of itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the | time of Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in |
| Tx:15.108 | to perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the | time of Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it |
| Tx:15.108 | give it and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the | time of Christ, communication is restored, and He joins us in the |
| Tx:15.110 | This is the weekend in which a new year will be born from the | time of Christ. I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would |
| Tx:16.19 | tried to solve anything yourself and been successful. Is it not | time you brought these facts together and made sense of them? |
| Tx:16.42 | you? What would interfere with God must interfere with you. Only in | time does interference in God's completion seem to be possible. The |
| Tx:16.42 | possible. The bridge that He would carry you across lifts you from | time into eternity. Waken from time and answer fearlessly the call of |
| Tx:16.42 | would carry you across lifts you from time into eternity. Waken from | time and answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave eternity to you |
| Tx:16.58 | possible, and they are totally unreal. This year is thus the | time to make the easiest decision that ever confronted you and also |
| Tx:16.63 | Across the bridge, it is so different! For a | time the body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here. |
| Tx:16.65 | Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. | Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it will keep gentle pace |
| Tx:16.65 | which precedes the actual transition is far shorter than the | time it took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will |
| Tx:16.76 | For a | time you may attempt to bring illusions into the holy instant to |
| Tx:16.76 | in your mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your illusions of | time will not prevent the timeless from being what it is nor you from |
| Tx:16.78 | offered them illusions. In the holy instant, this is done for you in | time to bring to you the true condition of Heaven. |
| Tx:17.8 | step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through | time into eternity and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will |
| Tx:17.10 | of the real world will be so short that you will barely have | time to thank God for it. For God will take the last step swiftly |
| Tx:17.18 | Time is indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For time is cruel | |
| Tx:17.18 | Time is indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For | time is cruel in the ego's hands, as it is kind when used for |
| Tx:17.37 | of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, set in a frame of | time. If you focus on the picture, you will realize that it was only |
| Tx:17.37 | of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set in | time for you. |
| Tx:17.40 | The other picture is lightly framed, for | time cannot contain eternity. There is no distraction here. The |
| Tx:17.45 | invitation is accepted immediately, and the Holy Spirit wastes no | time in introducing the practical results of asking Him to enter. At |
| Tx:17.47 | more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the ego given | time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking. Only a |
| Tx:17.48 | This is the | time for faith. You let this goal be set for you. That was an act of |
| Tx:17.48 | guidance? Have faith in each other in what but seems to be a trying | time. The goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its |
| Tx:17.54 | however compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you allow | time to close over it. It must be kept shining and gracious in your |
| Tx:17.54 | over it. It must be kept shining and gracious in your awareness of | time but not concealed within it. The instant remains. But where are |
| Tx:17.54 | you have denied yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every | time you attack each other, for the attack must blind you to |
| Tx:18.4 | it was. That one error, which brought truth to illusion, infinity to | time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole world |
| Tx:18.16 | they do 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 |
| Tx:18.19 | is but another form of this same world you see in dreams. All your | time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have |
| Tx:18.30 | brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make whole. Let not | time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past. |
| Tx:18.30 | time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past. | Time has been readjusted to help us do together what your separate |
| Tx:18.47 | Whichever is saner at the | time when the threat is perceived should remember how deep is his |
| Tx:18.60 | in space, and of your differences in size and seeming quality. | Time is not relevant; it can occur with something past, present, or |
| Tx:18.61 | of what happens in the holy instant; the lifting of the barriers of | time and space, the sudden experience of peace and joy, and, above |
| Tx:18.65 | experienced just now. Only its past and future make it seem real. | Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single |
| Tx:18.66 | This course does not attempt to teach more than they learned in | time, but it does aim at saving time. You are attempting to follow a |
| Tx:18.66 | to teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving | time. You are attempting to follow a very long road to the goal you |
| Tx:18.66 | succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means are tedious and very | time consuming, for all of them look to the future for release from a |
| Tx:18.67 | in purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving | time. One instant spent together restores the universe to both of |
| Tx:18.68 | release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own | time. We do not need this time. Time has been saved for you because |
| Tx:18.68 | one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not need this | time. Time has been saved for you because you are together. This is |
| Tx:18.68 | day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not need this time. | Time has been saved for you because you are together. This is the |
| Tx:18.68 | together. This is the special means this course is using to save you | time. You are not making use of the course if you insist on using |
| Tx:18.68 | have served others well, neglecting what was made for you. Save | time for me by only this one preparation and practice, doing nothing |
| Tx:18.69 | door through which you slip past centuries of effort and escape from | time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction right now. |
| Tx:18.69 | is the way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is | time denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need |
| Tx:18.69 | denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for | time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place within you where the |
| Tx:18.96 | needs to be undone. Love is not learned because there never was a | time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of |
| Tx:19.16 | eternal and learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to | time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom |
| Tx:19.28 | a call for help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In | time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. |
| Tx:19.28 | Yet you do not share His recognition of the difference between | time and eternity. And when correction is completed, time is eternity. |
| Tx:19.28 | between time and eternity. And when correction is completed, | time is eternity. |
| Tx:19.29 | Time is like a downward spiral which seems to travel down from a | |
| Tx:19.30 | and forever changeless. This One can teach you how to look on | time differently and see beyond it, but not while you believe in sin. |
| Tx:19.87 | perform, held out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born in | time but nourished in eternity. Behold this infant to whom you gave a |
| Tx:19.106 | in him the gift of God you would receive. It is almost Easter, the | time of resurrection. Let us give redemption to each other and share |
| Tx:20.4 | ancient Friend, lie his release and your redemption with him. The | time of Easter is a time of joy and not of mourning. Look on your |
| Tx:20.4 | his release and your redemption with him. The time of Easter is a | time of joy and not of mourning. Look on your risen Friend and |
| Tx:20.4 | Friend and celebrate his holiness along with me. For Easter is the | time of your salvation, along with mine. |
| Tx:20.10 | —a careless thought to play with or a toy you would pick up from | time to time and then put by. For if you do, so will it be to you. |
| Tx:20.10 | thought to play with or a toy you would pick up from time to | time and then put by. For if you do, so will it be to you. |
| Tx:20.12 | Your home has called to you since | time began, nor have you ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but |
| Tx:20.35 | You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in | time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is |
| Tx:20.37 | to what was held outside them and finding what was lost. Only in | time can anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of |
| Tx:20.37 | never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in | time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each |
| Tx:20.37 | Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of | time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of |
| Tx:20.38 | 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 call to the |
| Tx:20.41 | There is but one. The little breath of eternity that runs through | time like golden light is all the same—nothing before it, nothing |
| Tx:20.42 | You look upon each holy instant as a different point in | time. It never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is |
| Tx:20.52 | your relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy instant, | time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give it the |
| Tx:20.52 | so it seemed to have a home that held together for a little while in | time and vanished. For what could house this mad idea against reality |
| Tx:20.55 | around the mind, keeping it prisoner in a tiny spot of space and | time, beholden unto death and given but an instant in which to sigh |
| Tx:20.56 | and you have learned you really want but one. This is no | time for sadness. Perhaps confusion, but hardly discouragement. |
| Tx:20.62 | to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy instant is the | time of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It cannot be attained |
| Tx:21.45 | This part has seen your brother and recognized him perfectly since | time began. And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be |
| Tx:21.53 | For God wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon | time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the Will of God must |
| Tx:21.81 | will tell you why. It is the same as are the other three except in | time. The others are decisions which can be made and then unmade and |
| Tx:21.84 | Elusive happiness, or happiness in changing form that shifts with | time and place, is an illusion which has no meaning. Happiness must |
| Tx:21.90 | answered and what you ask for given. Here is the future now, for | time is powerless because of your desire for what will never change. |
| Tx:22.1 | on sin 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:22.14 | older than perception and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is | time to what was always so? Think what that instant brought—the |
| Tx:22.18 | for the eternal cannot change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for | time gives way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain |
| Tx:22.18 | eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but everything in | time can change with time. Yet if the change be real and not |
| Tx:22.18 | must remain unchanged, but everything in time can change with | time. Yet if the change be real and not imagined, illusions must give |
| Tx:22.23 | it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your choice. For | time you made, and time you can command. You are no more a slave to |
| Tx:22.23 | understanding, but when must be your choice. For time you made, and | time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the |
| Tx:22.23 | time you made, and time you can command. You are no more a slave to | time than to the world you made. |
| Tx:22.27 | holy relationship, beloved of God Himself. How still it rests, in | time and yet beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the power that |
| Tx:22.27 | beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the power that lies in it. | Time waits upon its will, and earth will be as it would have it be. |
| Tx:22.56 | remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in | time can long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And no |
| Tx:23.5 | glory is beyond it, measureless and timeless as eternity. Do not let | time intrude upon your sight of him. Leave him not frightened and |
| Tx:24.52 | of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by | time, and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. |
| Tx:24.54 | it is He they look for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor | time where He is not. Within your brother's holiness, the perfect |
| Tx:24.55 | look upon. Yet will you choose in countless situations and through | time which seems to have no end until the truth be your decision. For |
| Tx:24.60 | goal with far less vigilance—with little effort and with little | time and with the power of God maintaining it and promising success. |
| Tx:24.65 | this: can you protect the mind? The body, yes, a little—not from | time, but temporarily. And much you think you save, you hurt. What |
| Tx:24.67 | one with Him. This is the state of true creation, found not within | time, but in eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor is |
| Tx:24.68 | to add and nothing taken from—not born of size nor weight nor | time nor held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. Here do the |
| Tx:25.10 | All this takes note of | time and place as if they were discrete, for while you think that |
| Tx:25.13 | hope of satisfaction from the world you see? In no respect at any | time or place has anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How |
| Tx:25.27 | Help within him ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any | time. |
| Tx:25.28 | The | time he chooses can be any time, for help is there, awaiting but his |
| Tx:25.28 | The time he chooses can be any | time, for help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses |
| Tx:25.31 | this choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when all | time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But |
| Tx:25.36 | before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor | time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can |
| Tx:25.38 | as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each | time you look on one another. He has not gone because your eyes are |
| Tx:25.47 | so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in | time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness |
| Tx:25.47 | complete and every function of this world completed with it. Then is | time no more. |
| Tx:25.48 | Yet while in | time, there is still much to do. And each must do what is allotted |
| Tx:25.48 | 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 for himself. His |
| Tx:25.49 | understand that he is safe, as he has always been and will remain in | time and in eternity alike. This is the function given each of you |
| Tx:25.56 | 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 you can |
| Tx:25.56 | you think you find yourself and where you can be free of place and | time and all that you believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot |
| Tx:25.56 | that you believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by | time nor place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen |
| Tx:26.6 | belief in sin. You sacrifice your innocence with his and die each | time you see in him a sin deserving death. |
| Tx:26.8 | He is the same forever—born again each instant, untouched by | time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For |
| Tx:26.10 | then recur again and yet again until it has been answered for all | time and will not rise again in any form. And only then are you |
| Tx:26.12 | vanish one by one without regard to size, complexity, or place and | time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem |
| Tx:26.14 | punish him because you will not look at what is there to see? Each | time you keep a problem for yourself to solve or judge that it is one |
| Tx:26.19 | and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from | time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are brought together— |
| Tx:26.20 | the gate where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where place and | time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they |
| Tx:26.30 | teacher leads. There are but two directions you can take while | time remains and choice is meaningful. For never will another road be |
| Tx:26.31 | Nothing is ever lost but | time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little hindrance to |
| Tx:26.32 | to conflict with it. And what He would replace has been replaced. | Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon |
| Tx:26.32 | an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all | time passed and everything exactly as it was before the way to |
| Tx:26.32 | as it was before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of | time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that |
| Tx:26.32 | and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny instant | time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave Answer to |
| Tx:26.33 | To you who still believe you live in | time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you |
| Tx:26.33 | the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in | time, though it has long since gone. You think you live in what is |
| Tx:26.34 | world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such a tiny interval of | time that not one note in Heaven's song was missed. |
| Tx:26.35 | that one instant still called back, as if it could be made again in | time. You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives |
| Tx:26.36 | [Forgiveness is the great release from | time. It is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness speaks |
| Tx:26.36 | a distant shore and dream himself across an ocean to a place and | time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this |
| Tx:26.36 | he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere and in another | time. In the extreme, he can delude himself that this is true and |
| Tx:26.37 | to hear where he is now? And how much can his own delusions about | time and place affect a change in where he really is? The unforgiven |
| Tx:26.38 | Forget the | time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can |
| Tx:26.39 | allow His Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of | time gone by? [This course will teach you only what is now.] A |
| Tx:26.41 | The shadow voices do not change the laws of | time or of eternity. They come from what is past and gone and hinder |
| Tx:26.41 | here and now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination | time and death are real and have existence which can be perceived. |
| Tx:26.41 | which can be perceived. This terrible illusion was denied in but the | time it took for God to give His answer to illusion for all time and |
| Tx:26.41 | but the time it took for God to give His answer to illusion for all | time and every circumstance. And then it was no more, to be |
| Tx:26.42 | that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when the | time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die each day to live |
| Tx:26.42 | of an instant gone by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of | time is but the mad belief that what is over is still here and now. |
| Tx:26.49 | to all its forms. God's answer is eternal, though it operates in | time where it is needed. Yet because it is of God, the laws of time |
| Tx:26.49 | in time where it is needed. Yet because it is of God, the laws of | time do not affect its workings. It is in this world, but not a part |
| Tx:26.54 | you impose between your brother and yourself. They limit you to | time and place and give a little space to you, another little space |
| Tx:26.68 | problem that you have is that you see an interval between the | time when you forgive and will receive the benefits of trust. This |
| Tx:26.68 | keep between yourselves that you might be a little separate. For | time and space are one illusion which takes different forms. If it |
| Tx:26.68 | If it has been projected beyond your minds, you think of it as | time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the more you think of |
| Tx:26.69 | you would keep apart from one another, and this space you see as | time because you still believe you are external to each other. This |
| Tx:26.70 | afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the | time its purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In |
| Tx:26.70 | it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to | time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral |
| Tx:26.70 | you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to time, for | time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral as the |
| Tx:26.70 | this fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive. | Time is as neutral as the body is except in terms of what you see it |
| Tx:26.70 | you would keep a little space between you still, you want a little | time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while. This makes the |
| Tx:26.70 | is withheld a little while. This makes the interval between the | time in which forgiveness is withheld and given seem dangerous, with |
| Tx:26.71 | space between you is apparent now and cannot be perceived in future | time. No more can it be overlooked except within the present. Future |
| Tx:26.72 | It stands already here in present grace, within the only interval of | time which sin and fear have overlooked but which is all there is to |
| Tx:26.72 | time which sin and fear have overlooked but which is all there is to | time. The working out of all correction takes no time at all. |
| Tx:26.72 | is all there is to time. The working out of all correction takes no | time at all. |
| Tx:26.73 | will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in | time and fear they may not come, although already there? You have |
| Tx:26.74 | reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints at punishment until the | time of liberation is at hand. Given a change of purpose for the |
| Tx:26.75 | and one form in which its outcome is perceived. This interval in | time, when retribution is perceived to be the form in which the |
| Tx:26.76 | maintain effects of present cause must be delayed until a future | time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must |
| Tx:26.76 | of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one. Look not to | time but to the little space between you still to be delivered from. |
| Tx:26.76 | you still to be delivered from. And do not let it be disguised as | time and so preserved because its form is changed and what it is |
| Tx:27.31 | then the empty space it occupies be recognized as vacant, and the | time devoted to its seeing be perceived as idly spent, a time |
| Tx:27.31 | and the time devoted to its seeing be perceived as idly spent, a | time unoccupied. |
| Tx:27.32 | An empty space which is not seen as filled, an unused interval of | time not seen as spent and fully occupied, becomes a silent |
| Tx:27.33 | It lets the Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the | time when aids are meaningless and learning done. No learning aid has |
| Tx:27.37 | Thus it must be that | time is not involved, and every problem can be answered now. Yet it |
| Tx:27.45 | love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on | time. |
| Tx:27.69 | as thoughtless of his peace and happiness as is the weather or the | time of day. It loves him not but casts him as it will in any role |
| Tx:27.70 | indeed it is, for thus are you the one decider of your destiny in | time. The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and dreams |
| Tx:27.72 | you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of fear, the | time of terror and of ancient hate, the instant of disaster, all are |
| Tx:27.77 | united in the dust with other bodies dying like itself. In the brief | time allotted it to live, it seeks for other bodies as its friends |
| Tx:27.79 | The body's serial adventures from the | time of birth to dying is the theme of every dream the world has ever |
| Tx:27.81 | his attack upon himself. No one believes there really was a | time when he knew nothing of a body and could never have conceived |
| Tx:27.82 | effects. Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that | time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time |
| Tx:27.82 | that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that | time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time. |
| Tx:27.82 | that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no | time. |
| Tx:27.83 | A timelessness in which is | time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate |
| Tx:28.4 | your desire made the link, and only you have held it to a part of | time where guilt appears to linger still. |
| 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 |
| Tx:28.5 | and lived again. And thus do their effects appear to be increased by | time, which took away their cause. |
| Tx:28.6 | Yet | time is but another phase of what does nothing. It works hand in hand |
| Tx:28.6 | with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself. | Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you make strange use |
| Tx:28.8 | not be unremembered. It has never changed because there never was a | time in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its |
| Tx:28.9 | reminds you of a Cause forever present, perfectly untouched by | time and interference—never changed from what It is. And you are |
| Tx:28.10 | deny Him His effects, yet have they never been denied. There was no | time in which His Son could be condemned for what was causeless and |
| Tx:28.11 | stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet | time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to |
| Tx:28.11 | all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in | time to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds and |
| Tx:28.12 | He to Whom | time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in |
| Tx:28.36 | falters and grows thin. Here can the lean years enter not, for | time waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For Love has set |
| Tx:28.52 | and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any place or | time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them wholly |
| Tx:28.52 | for them in any place or time. For it fills every place and every | time and makes them wholly indivisible. |
| Tx:28.59 | though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it every | time he does not share a promise to be sick but lets his mind be |
| Tx:29.1 | There is no | time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be |
| Tx:29.4 | Conditional upon the “right” to separate will you agree to meet from | time to time and keep apart in intervals of separation, which protect |
| Tx:29.4 | upon the “right” to separate will you agree to meet from time to | time and keep apart in intervals of separation, which protect you |
| Tx:29.4 | body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives you | time in which to build again your separate selves, which you believe |

| W1:46.13 | specific applications if they are needed. They will be needed at any | time during the day when you become aware of any kind of negative |
| W1:48.2 | idea as often as possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any | time and in any situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that |
| W1:50.1 | every problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout | time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but |
| W1:52.4 | from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use | time against God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that |
| W1:62.3 | that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while every | time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you |
| W1:62.4 | around you as well as those who seem to be far away in space and | time to share this happiness with you. |
| W1:64.5 | There is no other way. Therefore every | time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are |

| W1:65.3 | the daily extended practice periods at approximately the same | time each day. Try, also, to determine this time today in advance and |
| W1:65.3 | approximately the same time each day. Try, also, to determine this | time today in advance and then adhere to it as closely as possible. |
| W1:65.4 | of this is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the | time for God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you |
| W1:67.6 | You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from | time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also find that |
| W1:67.6 | You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to | time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also find that this is |
| W1:70.7 | and it would again be well to decide in advance when would be a good | time to lay aside for each of them and adhere to your own decision as |
| W1:73.11 | You will succeed today, the | time appointed for the release of the Son of God from hell and from |
| W1:75.2 | There are no dark dreams now. The light has come. Today the | time of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a |
| W1:75.10 | wait in certainty to look upon the world He promised you. From this | time forth you will see differently. Today the light has come. And |
| W1:75.10 | come. And you will see the world that has been promised you since | time began, and in which is the end of time ensured. |
| W1:75.10 | has been promised you since time began, and in which is the end of | time ensured. |
| W1:75.11 | Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today is a | time for special celebration. Give thanks for mercy and the Love of |
| W1:79.3 | and the next arise. There seems to be no end to them. There is no | time in which you feel completely free of problems and at peace. |
| W1:79.5 | remain unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you from | time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved. |
| W1:79.5 | unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you from time to | time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved. |
| W1:79.9 | The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by | time but by need. You will see many problems today, each one calling |
| W1:90.5 | have been solved. I seem to have problems only because I am misusing | time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse |
| W1:90.5 | I am misusing time. I believe that the problem comes first, and | time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the |
| W1:90.5 | together 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 |
| W1:90.7 | The answer to this problem is already given me if I will accept it. | Time cannot separate this problem from its solution. |
| W1:91.5 | Three times today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet | time in which you try to leave your weakness behind. This is |
| W1:92.11 | the morning meeting, we will use the day in preparation for the | time at night when we will meet again in hope and trust. Let us |
| W1:95.5 | but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this | time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained |
| W1:95.5 | purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of | time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea |
| W1:95.6 | Structure, then, is necessary for you at this | time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular |
| W1:95.6 | your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of | time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of |
| W1:95.20 | Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible and understand each | time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the |
| W1:96.2 | of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of | time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one |
| W1:96.7 | Waste no more | time on this. Who can resolve the senseless conflicts which a dream |
| W1:96.16 | will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every | time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your |
| W1:96.17 | Each | time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One |
| W1:97.3 | Today we try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each | time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least; |
| W1:97.3 | you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle makes use of | time but is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the first and |
| 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 |
| W1:97.4 | the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a | time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then, these |
| W1:97.6 | they will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each | time someone accepts them as his thoughts and uses them to heal. |
| W1:97.11 | and God, your brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every | time you speak the words He offers you today, and let Him tell your |
| W1:98.3 | they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect | time and place. They took the stand which we will take today that we |
| W1:98.5 | Is it not worth five minutes of your | time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has given |
| W1:98.6 | joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your | time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose with the promise of |
| W1:98.6 | certainty of purpose with the promise of complete success. And since | time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for |
| W1:98.11 | practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the | time you offer Him for timelessness and peace. |
| W1:98.12 | Throughout the hour, let your | time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will |
| W1:98.12 | again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad | time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each |
| W1:98.12 | time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each | time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time |
| W1:98.12 | each time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy | time to come. |
| W1:98.13 | And when the hour is gone and He is there once more to spend a little | time with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all little |
| W1:98.13 | tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy | time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part |
| W1:99.5 | of Him within 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 |
| W1:99.5 | apart from time in that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in | time because of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy |
| W1:99.5 | is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your belief that | time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on |
| W1:100.11 | is your Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every | time you tell yourself you are essential to God's plan for the |
| W1:104.2 | are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before | time was and which will still be ours when time has passed into |
| W1:104.2 | which we inherited before time was and which will still be ours when | time has passed into eternity. |
| W1:105.11 | Spend your five minutes thus with Him each | time you can today, but do not think that less is worthless when you |
| W1:107.2 | illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a | time—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—when nothing came to |
| W1:107.2 | what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of | time and to eternity. |
| W1:107.15 | Do not forget your function for today. Each | time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all |
| W1:108.13 | you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood from this | time on, and we will make much faster progress now. Think of the |
| W1:108.13 | advances in your learning, made still faster and more sure each | time you say: |
| W1:109.5 | fear of future, and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while | time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never |
| W1:109.6 | No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take | time today to slip away from dreams and into peace. |
| W1:109.7 | a stream long dry begins to flow again. The world is born again each | time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace |
| W1:109.8 | five minutes that you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the | time when rest will be the only thing there is comes closer to all |
| W1:109.11 | is made complete, and what we give today we have received already. | Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We give to those |
| W1:109.11 | and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting place each | time we tell ourselves, |
| W1:110.1 | We will repeat today's idea from | time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and |
| W1:110.1 | We will repeat today's idea from time to | time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the world |
| W1:110.2 | which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any | time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future |
| W1:110.2 | enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is enough to let | time be the means for all the world to learn escape from time and |
| W1:110.2 | to let time be the means for all the world to learn escape from | time and every change that time appears to bring in passing by. |
| W1:110.2 | for all the world to learn escape from time and every change that | time appears to bring in passing by. |
| W1:R3.2 | you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed | time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be sure |
| W1:R3.3 | you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the | time to it which you are asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in |
| W1:R3.11 | Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a little | time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to |
| W1:122.12 | and we receive the gifts which have been held in store for us since | time began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you |
| W1:124.6 | Their thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart from | time. |
| W1:124.10 | the thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no | time was ever better spent. |
| W1:125.1 | accepts the message which the world must hear to usher in the quiet | time of peace. |
| W1:125.4 | to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy | time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place |
| W1:127.6 | means today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in | time beyond the count of years to your release. |
| W1:127.7 | Let us together, then, be glad to give some | time to God today and understand there is no better use for time than |
| W1:127.7 | some time to God today and understand there is no better use for | time than this. For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in |
| W1:128.7 | whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little every | time you let your mind escape its chains. The world is not where it |
| W1:129.2 | It might be worth a little | time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you |
| W1:129.2 | No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the world of | time, where all things end. |
| W1:129.3 | no ending, and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout | time? |
| W1:131.7 | Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. | Time is the great illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet this |
| W1:131.7 | now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from | time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from |
| W1:131.9 | He wills to be, and what He wills is present now beyond the reach of | time. |
| W1:131.10 | 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 himself and |
| W1:131.17 | his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed | time and place where you will find the goal of all your searching |
| W1:131.18 | Remember often that today should be a | time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and |
| W1:131.18 | refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's | time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace |
| W1:131.18 | Salvation's time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a | time of grace for you and for the world. If you forget this happy |
| W1:132.3 | what you do not want to find. The present now remains the only | time. Here in the present is the world set free. For as you let the |
| W1:132.10 | as God created you. There is no place where you can suffer and no | time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of |
| W1:132.10 | time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of | time and place exist if you remain as God created you? |
| W1:133.5 | thus delay your final choice until you had considered all of them in | time and not been brought so clearly to the place where there is but |
| W1:133.7 | what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. | Time can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies |
| W1:134.14 | Today we practice true forgiveness that the | time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with our |
| W1:134.17 | Briefly consider all the evil things you thought of him, and each | time ask yourself “Would I condemn myself for doing this?” |
| W1:134.18 | weight across your chest, a deep and certain feeling of relief. The | time remaining should be given to experiencing the escape from all |
| W1:135.6 | to make it safe, and you but say your home is open to the thief of | time, corruptible and crumbling, so unsafe it must be guarded with |
| W1:135.16 | that it will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. | Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by learning and |
| W1:135.20 | constantly increases as this life becomes a holy instant, set in | time but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your present |
| W1:135.21 | for your happiness according to the ancient plan begun when | time was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and |
| W1:135.22 | We will anticipate that | time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was |
| W1:136.14 | It is this fact which demonstrates that | time is an illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is |
| W1:136.14 | right now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from | time. For time is but another meaningless defense you made against |
| W1:136.14 | as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from time. For | time is but another meaningless defense you made against the truth. |
| W1:136.15 | lay down its arms and cease to play with folly. It is found at any | time—today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the |
| W1:136.20 | The body's health is fully guaranteed because it is not limited by | time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made |
| W1:137.11 | Those who are healed become the instruments of healing. Nor does | time elapse between the instant they are healed and all the grace of |
| W1:137.13 | hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a little | time a small expense to offer for the gift of everything? |
| W1:138.3 | one of conflicting goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of | time. Without decision, time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It |
| W1:138.3 | become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision, | time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in |
| W1:138.3 | waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in return. And | time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing |
| W1:138.7 | So we begin today considering the choice that | time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose, now |
| W1:138.9 | in shadows must be raised to understanding to be judged again, this | time with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind |
| W1:138.12 | hour passed, we have declared our choice again in a brief quiet | time devoted to maintaining sanity. And finally we close the day with |
| W1:139.7 | And they will come again until the | time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt |
| W1:140.11 | the same. We have no need to make them different and thus delay the | time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We |
| W1:R4.1 | Now we review again, this | time aware we are preparing for the second part of learning how the |
| W1:R4.7 | Begin each day with | time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea |
| W1:R4.10 | them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you are using | time for its intended purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning |
| W1:R4.11 | Then repeat the two ideas you practice for the day unhurriedly, with | time enough to see the gifts which they contain for you, and let them |
| W1:R4.12 | as we began, repeating first the thought that made the day a special | time of blessing and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness |
| W1:151.13 | We practice wordlessly today, except at the beginning of the | time you spend with God. We introduce these times with but a single, |
| W1:153.13 | mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet | time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our |
| W1:153.15 | us from our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a | time to spend with God. Nor will we willingly give less at night in |
| W1:153.18 | In | time, with practice, you will never cease to think of Him and hear |
| W1:153.18 | would you keep your mind away from Him a moment, even though your | time is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He will |
| W1:153.20 | We call upon His strength each | time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of |
| W1:155.11 | When dreams are over, | time has closed the door on all the things that pass, and miracles |
| W1:157.1 | This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special | time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set |
| W1:157.1 | It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a | time Heaven has set apart to shine upon and cast a timeless light |
| W1:157.3 | of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter | time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a |
| W1:157.7 | world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of | time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its |
| W1:157.8 | The | time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you |
| W1:158.2 | can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will come in | time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind itself, |
| W1:158.2 | and the Son are one will come in time to every mind. Yet is that | time determined by the mind itself, not taught. |
| W1:158.3 | The | time is set already. It appears to be quite arbitrary. Yet there is |
| W1:158.3 | been taken by him, although he has not yet embarked on it. For | time but seems to go in one direction. We but undertake a journey |
| W1:158.4 | Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures | |
| W1:158.5 | he did not learn it. It revealed itself to him at its appointed | time. But vision is his gift. This he can give directly, for Christ's |
| W1:158.11 | It matters not when revelation comes, for that is not of | time. Yet time has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is |
| W1:158.11 | It matters not when revelation comes, for that is not of time. Yet | time has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is reflected |
| W1:162.1 | single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From | time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in |
| W1:162.1 | thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to | time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It |
| W1:162.3 | will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each | time he practices the words of truth. |
| W1:163.3 | is counted on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the | time has come for its arrival. It will never fail to take all life as |
| W1:164.1 | What | time but now can truth be recognized? The present is the only time |
| W1:164.1 | What time but now can truth be recognized? The present is the only | time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to look upon |
| W1:164.1 | there—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 |
| W1:164.3 | for you and answers in your name the call He hears. How quiet is the | time you give to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all |
| W1:166.11 | reply: “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each | time the thought of poverty oppresses you and speaks of His |
| W1:167.4 | from their own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, | time, and form. |
| W1:167.9 | its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams of | time—an interval in which what seems to happen never has occurred, |
| W1:169.4 | already set. But we have also said the mind determines when that | time will be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear |
| W1:169.6 | cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all thought of | time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has |
| W1:169.7 | learned, brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the | time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is now at |
| W1:169.7 | in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He recognized all that | time holds and gave it to all minds that each one might determine |
| W1:169.7 | it to all minds that each one might determine from a point where | time has ended when it is released to revelation and eternity. |
| W1:169.8 | but make a journey that is done. For oneness must be here. Whatever | time the mind has set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what |
| W1:169.9 | be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those in | time can speak of things beyond and listen to words which explain |
| W1:169.11 | salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in | time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the thought |
| W1:169.11 | for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the thought of | time but for a little while. The interval suffices. It is here that |
| W1:170.9 | This moment can be terrible. But it can also be the | time of your release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing |
| W1:170.12 | The choice you make today is certain. For you look for the last | time upon this bit of carven stone you made and call it god no |
| W1:170.12 | still another form, and so the fear of God returned with you. This | time you leave it here. And you return to a new world unburdened by |
| W1:R5.1 | We now review again. This | time we are ready to give more effort and more time to what we |
| W1:R5.1 | review again. This time we are ready to give more effort and more | time to what we undertake. We recognize we are preparing for another |
| W1:R5.7 | step we take brings us a little nearer. This review will shorten | time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and |
| W1:R5.9 | My resurrection comes again each | time I lead a brother safely to the place at which the journey ends |
| W1:R5.9 | the place at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each | time a brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am |
| W1:R5.9 | brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each | time a brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. I |
| W1:R5.10 | given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our | time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our |
| W1:R5.10 | whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before | time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will |
| W1:R5.10 | ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged by | time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last, when time is done. |
| W1:R5.10 | unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last, when | time is done. |
| W1:R5.12 | Let this review become a | time in which we share a new experience for you, yet one as old as |
| W1:R5.12 | a time in which we share a new experience for you, yet one as old as | time, and older still. Hallowed your name. Your glory undefiled |
| W1:R5.12 | And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every | time we say, |
| W1:R5.14 | of our review. With this we start and end each period of practice | time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these |
| W1:I2.1 | into one intent. You are not asked for total dedication all the | time, as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain |
| W1:181.3 | an instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of | time wherein we practice changing our intent. We seek for innocence |
| W1:181.5 | what we will believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the | time of practicing with one intent—to look upon the sinlessness |
| W1:182.2 | try to put by their suffering in games they play to occupy their | time and keep their sadness from them. Others will deny that they are |
| W1:182.5 | You are His home as well. He will return. But give Him just a little | time to be Himself within the peace that is His home, resting in |
| W1:182.10 | Christ is reborn as but a little Child each | time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must learn that what he |
| W1:182.10 | and Who is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from | time to time today. You are as much an alien here as He. |
| W1:182.10 | Who is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from time to | time today. You are as much an alien here as He. |
| W1:182.11 | Take | time today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and lay |
| W1:184.1 | you give a different name—all happenings in terms of place and | time, all bodies which are greeted by a name. |
| W1:185.1 | be no further sorrow possible for you in any form, in any place or | time. Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory |
| W1:187.4 | value not its form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in | time, however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is |
| W1:190.4 | Peace to such foolishness! The | time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to |
| W1:190.8 | the Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and | time replace eternity and Heaven. And the world becomes a cruel and a |
| W1:191.10 | all dark and ancient caverns where the rites of death echoed since | time began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God |
| W1:191.10 | caverns where the rites of death echoed since time began. For | time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has come in |
| W1:192.8 | He must be sure that he does not escape, and so he spends his | time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him become the |
| W1:192.9 | 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 above your |
| W1:193.13 | with none remaining yet unshed and none but waiting their appointed | time to fall. For God has willed that laughter should replace each |
| W1:193.14 | try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another instant. | Time was made for this. Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning |
| W1:193.14 | Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning and night, devote what | time you can to serve its proper aim, and do not let the time be less |
| W1:193.14 | devote what time you can to serve its proper aim, and do not let the | time be less than meets your deepest need. |
| W1:193.16 | Each hour spend a little | time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in |
| W1:193.16 | so that the next one is free of the one before. The chains of | time are easily unloosened in this way. |
| W1:193.17 | it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of | time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to |
| W1:194.3 | given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a | time of your release from sadness, pain and even death itself. |
| W1:194.4 | you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in | time. You are but asked to let the future go and place it in God's |
| W1:194.5 | of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the instant in which | time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs its pitiless, |
| W1:194.5 | inevitable course. Then is each instant, which was slave to | time, transformed into a holy instant when the light that was kept |
| W1:195.10 | Our gratitude will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning | time by more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in |
| W1:196.4 | sequence as the mind relinquishes its burdens one by one. It is not | time we need for this. It is but willingness. And what would seem to |
| W1:196.11 | for your death, intent on plotting punishment for you until the | time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as |
| W1:196.11 | until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the | time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God has |
| W1:198.15 | to us the gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is it | time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has come today. |
| W1:198.15 | given us through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The | time has come. The time has come today. |
| W1:198.15 | today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The | time has come today. |
| W1:199.2 | Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of | time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and |
| W1:199.8 | even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each | time you say: |
| W1:200.9 | Only if we attempt to wander can there be delay and needless wasted | time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our |
| W1:200.11 | We seek no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer every | time we say: |
| W1:R6.1 | idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the | time we give morning and evening, which should not be less than 15 |
| W1:R6.5 | The day begins and ends with this. And we repeat it every | time the hour strikes or we remember in between we have a function |
| W1:R6.6 | and special forms of practicing for this review. For we attempt this | time to reach a quickened pace along a shorter path to the serenity |
| W1:R6.11 | 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 available to you each |
| W1:R6.11 | time you turn to Him. He will not fail to be available to you each | time you call to Him to help you. Let us offer Him the whole review |
| W1:204.1 | inheritance. God's Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to | time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in |
| W2:I.2 | along the road, and now we wait for Him. We will continue spending | time with Him each morning and at night, as long as makes us happy. |
| W2:I.2 | and at night, as long as makes us happy. We will not consider | time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we will need for the |
| W2:I.5 | Now is the | time of prophecy fulfilled. Now are all ancient promises upheld and |
| W2:I.5 | are all ancient promises upheld and fully kept. No step remains for | time to separate from its accomplishment. For now we cannot fail. Sit |
| W2:I.8 | darkness of our minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since | time began. |
| W2:I.11 | One further use for words we still retain. From | time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will |
| W2:I.11 | One further use for words we still retain. From time to | time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse |
| W2:230.2 | What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from | time and still remains beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son |
| W2:WS.1 | your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that | time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in |
| W2:WS.1 | time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in | time will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks |
| W2:WS.5 | is the call to all the world that freedom is returned, that | time is almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to wait |
| W2:232.1 | wake and shine on me throughout the day today. Let every minute be a | time in which I dwell with You. And let me not forget my hourly |
| W2:233.1 | will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained and wasting | time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and |
| W2:234.1 | Today we will anticipate the | time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again |
| W2:241.1 | What joy there is today! It is a | time of special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the |
| W2:241.1 | glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the | time of hope for countless millions. They will be united now as you |
| W2:264.1 | the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You | time disappears and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what |
| W2:270.1 | to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of | time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his |
| W2:WIC.5 | long will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the | time for learning now is over and the goal of the Atonement has been |
| W2:WIC.5 | glory will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of | time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created |
| W2:275.1 | true today than 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 |
| W2:277.1 | is not changed by what is changeable. He is not slave to any laws of | time. He is as You created him, because he knows no laws except the |
| W2:279.1 | God's Son is not abandoned by His Love. Only in dreams is there a | time when he appears to be in prison and awaits a future freedom if |
| W2:286.1 | things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the | time in which I come to understand the lesson that there is no need |
| W2:WIRW.4 | promise that he is redeemed. The real world signifies the end of | time, for its perception makes time purposeless. |
| W2:WIRW.4 | The real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes | time purposeless. |
| W2:WIRW.5 | The Holy Spirit has no need of | time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one |
| W2:WIRW.5 | waits but that one instant more for God to take His final step, and | time has disappeared, taking perception with it as it goes and |
| W2:WISC.3 | extend beyond itself and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is the | time in which all minds are given to the hands of Christ, to be |
| W2:WISC.4 | The Second Coming is the one event in | time which time itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to |
| W2:WISC.4 | The Second Coming is the one event in time which | time itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet |
| W2:308.1 | I have conceived of | time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past |
| W2:308.1 | of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past | time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is |
| W2:308.1 | reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what | time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the past and future |
| W2:308.1 | past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from | time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. |
| W2:308.2 | this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the | time You have appointed for Your Son's release and for salvation of |
| W2:310.1 | chosen all my days should be. And what I will experience is not of | time at all. The joy that comes to me is not of days nor hours, for |
| W2:316.1 | is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all | time and past all time as well. My treasure house is full, and angels |
| W2:316.1 | every gift a brother has received throughout all time and past all | time as well. My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open |
| W2:317.1 | as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of | time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my |
| W2:WICR.1 | all limit. Only Love creates and only like Itself. There was no | time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a time |
| W2:WICR.1 | no time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a | time when anything that It created suffers any change. Forever and |
| W2:WICR.1 | thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through | time and after time is done. |
| W2:WICR.1 | as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after | time is done. |
| W2:WICR.2 | create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when | time is over and will not be changed throughout the course of time, |
| W2:WICR.2 | when time is over and will not be changed throughout the course of | time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began. |
| W2:WICR.2 | the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of | time began. |
| W2:346.1 | And so begins the day I share with You as I will share eternity, for | time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and |
| W2:346.1 | for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of | time, and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends |
| W2:346.1 | I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of | time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things except |
| W2:346.1 | I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in | time. I would forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in |
| W2:354.1 | with the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of | time and wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except |
| W2:FL.2 | because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of | time, it seems to be far off. And yet in truth, it is already here, |
| W2:FL.6 | Words is all there is and all that there will be throughout all | time and in eternity. |
| W2:E.5 | we say “Amen.” We will be told exactly what God wills for us each | time there is a choice to make. And He will speak for God and for |
| W2:E.5 | Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this | time on and turn to Him for guidance and for peace and right |
| M:I.1 | in which one engages only a relatively small proportion of one's | time. The course, on the other hand, emphasizes that to teach is to |

| M:1.4 | a question of outcome, for what can change the Will of God? But | time, with its illusions of change and death, wears out the world and |
| M:1.4 | of change and death, wears out the world and all things in it. Yet | time has an ending, and it is this that the teachers of God are |
| M:1.4 | is this that the teachers of God are appointed to bring about. For | time is in their hands. Such was their choice, and it is given them. |
| M:2.1 | for him, for his coming is certain. Again, it is only a matter of | time. Once he has chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to |
| M:2.1 | he has chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. | Time waits on his choice but not whom he will serve. When he is ready |
| M:2.2 | plan of salvation, it is necessary to grasp the concept of | time which the course sets forth. Atonement corrects illusions, not |
| M:2.2 | completed simultaneously, for the Will of God is entirely apart from | time. So is all reality, being of Him. The instant the idea of |
| M:2.2 | Mind of God's Son, in that same instant was God's Answer given. In | time this happened very long ago. In reality it never happened at all. |
| M:2.3 | The world of | time is the world of illusion. What happened long ago seems to be |
| M:2.3 | your will is free, you can accept what has already happened at any | time you choose, and only then will you realize that it was always |
| M:2.4 | Time really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient that it is | |
| M:2.4 | other as if they had not met before. The pupil comes at the right | time to the right place. This is inevitable, because he made the |
| M:2.4 | 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 eternity? |
| M:3.3 | the universal course is a concept as meaningless in reality as is | time. The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, |
| M:3.3 | is time. The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In | time, the teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the |
| M:3.3 | the new direction as he teaches it. We have covered the illusion of | time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be |
| M:3.4 | will learn the most that he can from the other person at that | time. In this sense, and in this sense only, we can speak of levels |
| M:3.4 | level of teaching is a more sustained relationship in which for a | time two people enter into a fairly intense teaching-learning |
| M:3.4 | a real end. Again, each has learned the most he can at the | time. Yet all who meet will someday meet again, for it is the destiny |
| M:3.5 | do not. They may even be quite hostile to each other for some | time, and perhaps for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the |
| M:4.1 | Atonement. Their specialness is, of course, only temporary—set in | time as a means of leading out of time. These special gifts, born in |
| M:4.1 | of course, only temporary—set in time as a means of leading out of | time. These special gifts, born in the holy relationship toward which |
| M:4.2 | All differences among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in | time it can be said that the advanced teachers of God have the |
| M:4.8 | Now comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet | time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace. |
| M:4.9 | he must attain a state that may remain impossible for a long, long | time. He must learn to lay all judgment aside and ask only what he |
| M:4.20 | natural to the teacher of God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a | time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in doubt. The time will be as |
| M:4.20 | outcome, at a time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in doubt. The | time will be as right as is the answer. And this is true for |
| M:4.20 | to whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the | time. Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his |
| M:4.20 | who trust. Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all things in | time, no outcome already seen or yet to come can cause them fear. |
| M:4.21 | by resting on just some problems, remaining carefully limited for a | time. To give up all problems to one Answer is to reverse the |
| M:6.2 | Where healing has been given, it will be received. And what is | time before the gifts of God? We have referred many times in the text |
| M:8.6 | real. Just as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and | time and place—for differences cannot exist within it—so too are |
| M:10.1 | person classifies the same action as showing “good” judgment at one | time and “bad” judgment at another time. Nor can any consistent |
| M:10.1 | as showing “good” judgment at one time and “bad” judgment at another | time. Nor can any consistent criteria for determining what these |
| M:10.1 | for determining what these categories are be really taught. At any | time, the student may disagree with what his would-be teacher says |
| M:10.6 | is its result. All of the loneliness and sense of loss, of passing | time and growing hopelessness; of sickening despair and fear of death |
| M:11.2 | Again we come to the question of judgment. This | time, ask yourself whether your judgment or the Word of God is more |
| M:13.5 | And so he seeks it in a thousand ways and in a thousand places, each | time believing it is there and each time disappointed in the end. |
| M:13.5 | and in a thousand places, each time believing it is there and each | time disappointed in the end. “Seek but do not find,” remains this |
| M:14.3 | thought of sin remains” appears to be a long-range goal indeed. But | time stands still and waits on the goals of God's teachers. Not one |
| M:15.1 | free. This is the judgment in which all things are freed with him. | Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies across the world |
| M:15.3 | this, and you will go beyond belief to certainty. One instant out of | time can bring time's end. Judge not, for you but judge yourself and |
| M:16.2 | with error, yet there are obvious advantages in terms of saving | time if the need for this can be avoided. |
| M:16.3 | At the beginning, it is wise to think in terms of | time. This is by no means the ultimate criterion, but at the outset, |
| M:16.3 | at the outset, it is probably the simplest to observe. The saving of | time is an essential early emphasis which, although it remains |
| M:16.3 | less and less emphasized. At the outset, we can safely say that | time devoted to starting the day right does indeed save time. How |
| M:16.3 | 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:16.3 | devoted to starting the day right does indeed save time. How much | time should be so spent? This must depend on the teacher of God |
| M:16.4 | awakes. If this is so, let him but remember that he chooses to spend | time with God as soon as possible, and let him do so. Duration is not |
| M:16.4 | be made is this—as soon as possible after waking, take your quiet | time, continuing a minute or two after you begin to find it |
| M:16.4 | that the difficulty will diminish and drop away. If not, that is the | time to stop. |
| M:16.5 | The same procedures should be followed at night. Perhaps your quiet | time should be fairly early in the evening if it is not feasible for |
| M:16.5 | If possible, however, just before going to sleep is a desirable | time to devote to God. It sets your mind into a pattern of rest and |
| M:16.5 | and orients you away from fear. If it is expedient to spend this | time earlier, at least be sure that you do not forget a brief period |
| M:16.8 | day of his protection. How can he do this, particularly during the | time when his mind is occupied with external things? He can but try, |
| M:16.8 | He must be sure success is not of him but will be given him at any | time, in any place and circumstance he calls for it. There are times |
| M:19.2 | short indeed of all that awaits one when the pathway ceases and | time ends with it. But somewhere one must start. Justice is the |
| M:22.2 | on whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness or for a | time excludes some problem areas from it. In some cases, there is a |
| M:23.7 | there are. Would God leave anyone without a very present help in | time of trouble? A savior who can symbolize Himself? Yet do we need a |
| M:24.4 | He should both learn and teach that theoretical issues but waste | time, draining it away from its appointed purpose. If there are |
| M:24.6 | is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is now. There is no other | time. No teaching that does not lead to this is of concern to God's |
| M:26.2 | to them, and all mistakes are recognized and overlooked by them. The | time will come when this is understood. And meanwhile they give all |
| M:26.3 | much devotion and dedication and then be maintained for most of the | time on earth. But this is so rare that it cannot be considered a |
| M:28.4 | hearts are tranquil, with a stir of deep anticipation, for the | time of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no death. The Son |
| M:29.1 | it is called a manual for teachers, it must be remembered that only | time divides teacher and pupil, so that the difference is temporary |
| M:29.7 | future but immediately—now. God does not wait, for waiting implies | time and He is timeless. Forget your foolish images, your sense of |
| M:29.8 | which His Voice is heard around the world to close all things of | time, to end the sight of all things visible, and to undo all things |

| W1:71.15 | Try to remember the idea for today some six or seven | times an hour. There could be no better way to spend a half-minute or |
| W1:73.17 | This should be repeated several | times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply today's idea |
| W1:74.3 | Begin the longer practice periods by repeating these thoughts several | times, slowly and with firm determination to understand what they |
| W1:75.7 | merely wait to have it shown to you. While you wait, repeat several | times slowly and in complete patience: |
| W1:76.14 | this dedication as often as possible today—at least four or five | times an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to experience |
| W1:78.5 | you; someone you call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at | times or hard to please—demanding, irritating, or untrue to the |

| W1:151.13 | at the beginning of the time you spend with God. We introduce these | times with but a single, slow repeating of the thought with which the |
| W1:153.16 | as we remember to be faithful to the will we share with God. At | times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we can |
| W1:153.16 | we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we will forget. At other | times the business of the world will close on us, and we will be |
| W1:154.12 | until we give it. You have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred | times, and yet belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until |
| W1:156.8 | “Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand | times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. |
| W1:159.5 | solid here are merely shadows there, transparent, faintly seen, at | times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines beyond |
| W1:161.6 | is the reason bodies easily become fear's symbols. You have many | times been urged to look beyond the body, for its sight presents the |
| W1:169.8 | We have repeated several | times before that you but make a journey that is done. For oneness |
| W1:182.1 | a persistent feeling, sometimes not more than a tiny throb, at other | times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but surely to return to |
| W1:185.10 | perhaps unknown to them, but sure to you. You have been weak at | times, uncertain in your purpose and unsure of what you wanted, where |
| W1:186.10 | which the world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten | times an hour at their most secure. What hope of gain can rest on |
| W1:R6.10 | for specific thoughts to aid your practicing. Instead we give these | times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of |
| W2:I.1 | alone. The lessons which remain are merely introductions to the | times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter peace. Now |
| W2:I.3 | all the days to come. And we will use that thought to introduce our | times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content |
| W2:I.4 | to make us happy? We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our | times with Him will now be spent. We say the words of invitation that |
| W2:I.6 | I am so close to you we cannot fail. Father, we give these holy | times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the world |
| W2:236.1 | I have a kingdom I must rule. At | times, it does not seem I am its king at all. It seems to triumph |
| W2:284.1 | Such is the truth—at first to be but said and then repeated many | times and next to be accepted as but partly true with many |
| M:4.10 | gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as well as tranquil | times. Indeed, the tranquility is their result—the outcome of |
| M:6.2 | And what is time before the gifts of God? We have referred many | times in the text to the storehouse of treasures laid up equally for |
| M:10.4 | Remember how many | times you thought you knew all the “facts” you needed for judgment, |
| M:10.4 | anyone who has not had this experience? Would you know how many | times you merely thought you were right, without ever realizing you |
| M:16.7 | he has let them go. There is no difference in his state at different | times and different places, because they are all one to God. This is |
| M:16.8 | any time, in any place and circumstance he calls for it. There are | times his certainty will waver, and the instant this occurs he will |
| M:17.2 | that results will always come to teacher and to pupil. How many | times has it been emphasized that you give but to yourself? And where |
| M:24.1 | and the idea of birth into a body has no meaning either once or many | times. Reincarnation cannot, then, be true in any real sense. Our |

| Tx:18.72 | The body cannot know. And while you limit your awareness to its | tiny senses, you will not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God |
| Tx:18.72 | seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. The body is a | tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete idea. It |

| Tx:18.75 | and in no way joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each | tiny fragment seems to be self-contained, needing each other for some |

| Tx:18.81 | everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the | tiny aspect which you tried to hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. |
| Tx:18.84 | that error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the | tiny part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and |
| Tx:18.85 | by attack, and reinforced by hate. Within its barricades is still a | tiny segment of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware |
| Tx:19.41 | through you? Would you let a little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a | tiny seeming barrier, stand between your brothers and salvation? And |
| Tx:19.46 | Now it is aimless, wandering pointlessly, causing no more than | tiny interruptions in love's appeal. |

| Tx:22.48 | the universe forever sings as one? Which is the stronger? Is it this | tiny mouse or everything that God created? You are not joined |

| Tx:23.4 | 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 these |
| Tx:24.12 | diminishes would be your savior, had you not chosen to make of him a | tiny measure of your specialness instead. Against the littleness you |
| Tx:24.15 | your specialness to which you listen and which asks and answers? Its | tiny answer, soundless in the melody which pours from God to you |
| Tx:24.24 | God cannot enter and a hiding-place where none is welcome but your | tiny self. Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart |
| Tx:24.43 | in the dark forest of the sightless, unlit but by the shifting | tiny gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of sin and then |
| Tx:24.60 | of self you understand, nor do you deem this cost too heavy. But a | tiny willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you |
| Tx:25.8 | shares His Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the | tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and special, to the |
| Tx:26.5 | cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager scrap and | tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself. |
| Tx:26.16 | all of them are little in His sight and worth no more than just a | tiny sigh before they disappear, to be forever undone and |
| Tx:26.29 | each one joins the singing at the altar which was raised within the | tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was tiny then |
| Tx:26.29 | within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was | tiny then has soared into a magnitude of song in which the universe |
| Tx:26.29 | song in which the universe has joined with but a single voice. This | tiny spot of sin that stands between you still is holding back the |
| Tx:26.32 | exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made. The | tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of |
| Tx:26.32 | for that one and all of them that came within the first. And in that | tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God |
| Tx:26.34 | The | tiny instant you would keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven |
| Tx:26.34 | —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 missed. |
| Tx:26.61 | thus 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 |

| Tx:27.71 | never be perceived as one in which the choice is split between a | tiny you and an enormous world, with different dreams about the truth |
| Tx:27.82 | and done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a | tiny mad idea at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his |

| Tx:29.21 | of death is yet one theme of truth—no more, perhaps, than just a | tiny spark, a space of light created in the dark, where God still |
| Tx:29.36 | of death have come to worship in a separated world, each with his | tiny spear and rusted sword to keep his ancient promises to die. |
| Tx:30.20 | and that you need, because you do not like the way you feel. This | tiny opening will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more |

| Tx:31.96 | to join with me, the song of thanks from earth to Heaven grows from | tiny scattered threads of melody to one inclusive chorus from a world |
| W1:28.3 | than telling it what it is. You are not binding its meaning to your | tiny experience of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your |
| W1:67.8 | Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your | tiny solitary voice that tells you this. This is the Voice for God |
| W1:93.11 | the Self which God created as you by hiding its majesty behind the | tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace it. Let it |
| W1:97.7 | gift you gave as much as does the radiance of the sun outshine the | tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out. Yet |
| W1:98.7 | Each hour today give Him your | tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in |
| W1:126.8 | He share your practicing in truth today. And if you only catch a | tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the idea we practice for |
| W1:131.7 | a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a | tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you |
| W1:131.16 | so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. A | tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you |
| W1:153.8 | our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its | tiny instant for eternity. |
| W1:182.1 | an exile here. Just a persistent feeling, sometimes not more than a | tiny throb, at other times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but |
| W1:182.6 | far from home. He is so little that He seems so easily shut out, His | tiny Voice so readily obscured, His calls for help almost unheard |
| W1:183.5 | call upon your Self, Whose Name is His. Repeat His Name and all the | tiny, nameless things on earth slip into right perspective. Those who |
| W1:191.3 | own Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a | tiny particle of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your |
| W2:234.1 | and we have reached again the holy peace we never left. Merely a | tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief |
| W2:300.2 | today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that | tiny instant to eternity. |
| M:4.4 | one's own petty strength again. Who would attempt to fly with the | tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been |
| M:14.4 | by those not yet prepared to leave the world and go beyond its | tiny reach. What, then, is the function of the teacher of God in this |

| W1:7.10 | of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea for | today indiscriminately to whatever catches your eye. For example: |

| W1:11.4 | Three practice periods | today will probably be sufficient. However, if there is little or no |

| W1:19.2 | Today we are again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This | |
| W1:20.4 | The exercises for | today consist in reminding yourselves throughout the day that you |
| W1:20.5 | Repeat today's idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour | today, attempting to do so every half hour. Do not be distressed if |
| W1:21.1 | The idea for | today is obviously a continuation and extension of the preceding one. |
| W1:22.3 | Look at the world about you at least five times | today, for at least a minute each time. As your eyes move slowly from |

| W1:31.2 | Two longer periods of practice with the idea for | today are needed, one in the morning and one at night. Three to five |

| W1:32.3 | periods for the morning and evening by repeating the idea for | today two or three times while looking around at the world you see as |
| W1:32.3 | Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea for | today unhurriedly as often as you wish as you watch the images your |

| W1:35.11 | you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the idea for | today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the form stated |
| W1:36.2 | Four three- to five-minute practice periods are required for | today. Try to distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter |
| W1:36.3 | First, close your eyes and repeat the idea for | today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look quite slowly |
| W1:37.4 | five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for | today followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply |
| W1:37.8 | eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the idea for | today to your outer world if you so desire; you may alternate between |
| W1:38.4 | each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat the idea for | today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any sense of |
| W1:38.4 | name of the person concerned. Use this form in applying the idea for | today: |
| W1:39.5 | full five minutes are urged for the four longer practice periods for | today. Longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If |
| W1:39.8 | that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea for | today to each one of them in this way: |
| W1:40.1 | Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you | |
| W1:40.1 | entitled, being what you are. No long practice periods are required | today, but very frequent short ones are necessary. Once every ten |
| W1:41.2 | The idea for | today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And |
| W1:41.4 | insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? | Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and |
| W1:41.5 | There will be only one long practice period | today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly |
| W1:42.1 | The idea for | today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. |
| W1:42.3 | We will have two three- to five-minute longer exercise periods | today, one as soon as possible after you wake and another as close as |
| W1:42.4 | Begin the practice period by repeating the idea for | today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes |
| W1:43.4 | Three five-minute practice periods are required | today, one as early as possible and another as late as possible. The |
| W1:43.18 | Try | today not to allow long periods of time to slip by without |
| W1:44.1 | Today we are continuing with the idea for yesterday, adding another | |
| W1:44.3 | Today we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, | |
| W1:44.4 | Have at least three practice periods | today, each lasting three to five minutes. A longer time is highly |
| W1:44.4 | with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use | today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained |
| W1:44.5 | You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we will use | today, but you may find that you will encounter strong resistance. |
| W1:44.11 | at the time. Do not forget. Above all, be determined not to forget | today. |
| W1:45.3 | Where, then, are your real thoughts? | Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in |
| W1:45.4 | Our three five-minute practice periods for | today will take the same general form that we used in applying |
| W1:45.5 | us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you will succeed | today. It is the Will of God. |
| W1:45.6 | Begin the exercises for | today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do |
| W1:45.10 | changeless. It is this foundation toward which the exercises for | today are directed. Here is your mind joined with the Mind of God. |
| W1:46.6 | position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the idea for | today to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself, |
| W1:46.13 | applications may consist either of a repetition of the idea for | today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be sure, |
| W1:47.4 | Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of | |
| W1:47.4 | of real strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary | today, and longer and more frequent ones are urged. Close your eyes |
| W1:47.9 | Repeat the idea for | today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. Remember that |
| W1:48.1 | The idea for | today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in |
| W1:49.2 | frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try | today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind |
| W1:49.3 | We will need at least four five-minute practice periods | today and more if possible. We will try actually to hear the Voice |
| W1:49.5 | possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the idea for | today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world and |
| W1:50.1 | Here is the answer to every problem that confronts you | today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe |
| W1:50.3 | and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you | today. Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming |
| W1:50.3 | without effort and in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often | today. It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. It is |
| W1:50.4 | For ten minutes twice | today, morning and evening, let the idea for today sink deep into |
| W1:50.4 | For ten minutes twice today, morning and evening, let the idea for | today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, |
| W1:R1.1 | Beginning with | today, we will have a series of review periods. Each of them will |
| W1:51.1 | The review for | today covers the following ideas: |
| W1:53.1 | Today we will review the following: | |
| W1:54.1 | These are the review ideas for | today: |
| W1:56.1 | Our review for | today covers the following: |
| W1:57.1 | Today let us review these ideas: | |
| W1:58.1 | These ideas are for review | today: |
| W1:59.1 | The following ideas are for review | today: |
| W1:59.3 | strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see | today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing |
| W1:59.3 | is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift | today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity. |
| W1:61.4 | You will want to think about this idea as often as possible | today. It is the perfect answer to all illusions and therefore to all |
| W1:61.5 | As many practice periods as possible should be undertaken | today, although each one need not exceed a minute or two. They should |
| W1:61.9 | of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks. Try | today to begin to build a firm foundation for these advances. |
| W1:63.3 | of this function, we will be happy to remember it very often | today. We will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day |
| W1:64.5 | are really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this | today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at |
| W1:64.6 | Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you will make | today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one will |
| W1:64.7 | Today, then, let us practice with these thoughts: | |
| W1:65.1 | The idea for | today reaffirms your commitment to salvation. It also reminds you |
| W1:65.2 | Today and for a number of days to follow, set aside ten to 15 minutes | |
| W1:65.3 | the same time each day. Try, also, to determine this time | today in advance and then adhere to it as closely as possible. |
| W1:65.5 | For this longer practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for | today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, |
| W1:65.6 | no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for | today. Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises which would |
| W1:65.11 | Finally, repeat the idea for | today once more and devote the rest of the practice period to trying |
| W1:66.3 | Today we will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and | |
| W1:66.4 | Our longer practice period | today has as its purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is |
| W1:66.11 | Think about this during the longer practice period | today. Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your |
| W1:66.12 | We need great honesty | today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also whether it was |
| W1:66.13 | side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try | today to realize that only the truth is true. |
| W1:66.14 | In the shorter practice periods, which would be most helpful | today if undertaken twice an hour, this form of the application is |
| W1:67.2 | We will make every effort | today to reach this truth about you and to realize fully, if only for |
| W1:67.4 | with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying | today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His own. We |
| W1:67.6 | You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for | today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also |
| W1:67.6 | yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much | today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have |
| W1:67.7 | It will be particularly helpful | today to practice the idea for today as often as you can. You need to |
| W1:67.7 | It will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for | today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about yourself |
| W1:68.5 | grievances go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation. | Today we will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you |
| W1:69.2 | Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you. | |
| W1:69.3 | Let us begin our longer practice period | today with the full realization of all this and real determination to |
| W1:69.3 | Learning salvation is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search | today by finding the light in us and holding it up for everyone who |
| W1:69.5 | convinced of their lack of substance. We will make this attempt | today. |
| W1:69.6 | remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you | today—now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch |
| W1:69.8 | Have confidence in your Father | today. And be certain that He has heard you and has answered you. You |
| W1:69.13 | if you are tempted to hold anything against anyone | today. |
| W1:70.1 | than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for | today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from you. So, |
| W1:70.5 | that healing did not occur; God's purpose was to ensure that it did. | Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the |
| W1:70.6 | because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the idea for | today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want us to be sick. |
| W1:70.7 | We are ready for two longer practice periods | today, each of which should last some ten to 15 minutes. We will, |
| W1:70.8 | Begin these practice periods by repeating the idea for | today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that salvation |
| W1:70.14 | For the short and frequent practice periods | today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing |
| W1:71.7 | How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for | today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There |
| W1:71.8 | Let us practice recognizing this certainty | today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be |
| W1:71.9 | Begin the two longer practice periods for | today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains |
| W1:71.13 | only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances | today, and respond to them with this form of today's idea: |
| W1:71.15 | Try to remember the idea for | today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better way |
| W1:72.9 | We will try | today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to |
| W1:72.11 | Our goal in the longer practice periods | today is to become aware that God's plan for salvation has already |
| W1:72.18 | or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for | today since they will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises |
| W1:73.1 | Today we are considering the will you share with God. This is not the | |
| W1:73.4 | Today we will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance | |
| W1:73.7 | your will as well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do | today. We undertake it with your blessing and your glad accord. |
| W1:73.8 | We will succeed | today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You will |
| W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your | |
| W1:73.9 | can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the exercises for | today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your |
| W1:73.9 | wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. | Today let your will be done. And end forever the insane belief that |
| W1:73.11 | You will succeed | today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of God from hell |
| W1:74.1 | The idea for | today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all our |
| W1:74.2 | There is great peace in today's idea. And the exercises for | today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is wholly |
| W1:74.2 | illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this | today and experience the peace this recognition brings. |
| W1:74.12 | yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for | today and try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is definite |
| W1:74.13 | which should be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals | today, say to yourself: |
| W1:74.14 | There is no will but God's. I seek His peace | today. |
| W1:74.15 | half-hour, with eyes closed if possible, would be well spent on this | today. |
| W1:75.2 | Today we celebrate the happy ending to your long dream of disaster. | |
| W1:75.2 | dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The light has come. | Today the time of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era |
| W1:75.2 | world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing. | Today we see a different world because the light has come. |
| W1:75.3 | Our exercises for | today will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of |
| W1:75.3 | remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. | Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We will be |
| W1:75.4 | to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. | Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. |
| W1:75.5 | We do not see the ego's shadow on the world | today. We see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie |
| W1:75.7 | Dwell not upon the past | today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and |
| W1:75.7 | clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the world | today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before. You do |
| W1:75.10 | He promised you. From this time forth you will see differently. | Today the light has come. And you will see the world that has been |
| W1:75.11 | of your release. Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that | today is a time for special celebration. Give thanks for mercy and |
| W1:75.11 | the darkness of the past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see | today. And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly |
| W1:75.11 | And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend | today forever. Say, then: |
| W1:75.15 | you be. Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere | today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of |
| W1:76.2 | Today we will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you | |
| W1:76.2 | would forever seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for | today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where |
| W1:76.7 | The laws of God can never be replaced. We will devote | today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a truth which we |
| W1:76.8 | We will begin the longer practice period | today with a short review of the different kinds of “laws” we have |
| W1:76.10 | There are no laws but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs | today and hold your mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice that |
| W1:76.12 | Let us | today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend through us |
| W1:76.14 | We will repeat this dedication as often as possible | today—at least four or five times an hour, as well as in response |
| W1:77.1 | a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate | today. |
| W1:77.3 | Today we will claim the miracles which are your right since they | |
| W1:77.3 | can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. | Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content |
| W1:77.6 | you accepted must be so. There is no room for doubt and uncertainty | today. We are asking a real question at last. The answer is a simple |
| W1:77.7 | also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself often | today: |
| W1:78.2 | Today we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. | |
| W1:78.4 | Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be | |
| W1:78.6 | role the Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you | today. Such is his role in God your Father's plan. |
| W1:78.7 | Our longer practice periods | today will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our |
| W1:78.11 | Him that you might be saved. God thanks you for these quiet times | today in which you laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle |
| W1:79.7 | In our longer practice periods | today, we will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. |
| W1:79.8 | Our exercises for | today will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on |
| W1:79.9 | The shorter practice periods for | today will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems |
| W1:79.9 | will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems | today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts will be directed |
| W1:79.10 | Be not deceived by the form of problems | today. Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell yourself quickly: |
| W1:80.2 | only problem has been solved! Repeat this over and over to yourself | today with gratitude and conviction. You have recognized your only |
| W1:80.3 | You are entitled to peace | today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be |
| W1:80.4 | In our longer practice periods | today, we will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and |
| W1:80.6 | Assure yourselves often | today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the idea with deep |
| W1:80.6 | possible. And be particularly sure to remember to apply the idea for | today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly: |
| W1:80.8 | Let us be determined not to collect grievances | today. Let us be determined to be free of problems that do not exist. |
| W1:81.1 | Our ideas for review | today are: |
| W1:82.1 | We will review these ideas | today: |
| W1:83.1 | Today let us review these ideas: | |
| W1:84.2 | and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality | today. I will worship no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to |
| W1:84.5 | Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self | today, so that I can remember who I am. |
| W1:85.5 | [70] My salvation comes from me. | Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its |
| W1:86.1 | These ideas are for review | today: |
| W1:87.1 | Our review | today will cover these ideas: |
| W1:87.2 | [73] I will there be light. I will use the power of my will | today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of |
| W1:87.2 | and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide | today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on |
| W1:87.5 | [74] There is no will but God's. I am safe | today because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid only |
| W1:87.5 | I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. | Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe |
| W1:88.1 | Today we will review these ideas: | |
| W1:89.1 | These are our review ideas for | today: |
| W1:90.2 | [79] Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. Let me realize | today that the problem is always some form of grievance which I would |
| W1:90.2 | is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. | Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the |
| W1:91.4 | you but realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. | Today we will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this |
| W1:91.5 | Three times | today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try |
| W1:91.8 | question with which this statement ends is needed for our exercises | today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you |
| W1:92.1 | The idea for | today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think of light |
| W1:92.9 | ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we try | today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, |
| W1:92.10 | Let us give 20 minutes twice | today to join this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your Self. |
| W1:92.10 | the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while | today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's |
| W1:92.11 | in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the idea for | today and recognize that we are being introduced to sight and led |
| W1:93.3 | Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you think, | |
| W1:93.8 | In our longer exercise periods | today, which would be most profitable if done for the first five |
| W1:93.17 | You can do much for the world's salvation | today. You can do much today to bring you closer to accepting the |
| W1:93.17 | You can do much for the world's salvation today. You can do much | today to bring you closer to accepting the part in salvation which |
| W1:93.17 | part in salvation which God has assigned to you. And you can do much | today to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day |
| W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; | |
| W1:94.3 | Today we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour | |
| W1:94.9 | Tell yourself frequently | today that you are as God created you. And be sure to respond to |
| W1:94.11 | Make every effort to do the hourly exercises | today. Each one you do will be a giant stride toward your release and |
| W1:95.3 | We will attempt | today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what makes |
| W1:95.3 | is united with its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again | today. |
| W1:95.12 | This is the truth, and nothing else is true. | Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the place in |
| W1:95.12 | there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin the practice periods | today with this assurance, given to your mind with all the certainty |
| W1:95.19 | Do not forget | today. We need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to |
| W1:95.19 | the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try | today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not |
| W1:95.19 | Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget | today. |
| W1:95.20 | a call to 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: |
| W1:96.9 | We will attempt | today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed |
| W1:96.16 | Your Self knows that you cannot fail | today. Perhaps your mind remains uncertain yet a little while. Be not |
| W1:96.17 | Each time | today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One Self, |
| W1:97.1 | factors into unity. It simply states the truth. Practice this truth | today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from conflict |
| W1:97.3 | Today we try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time | |
| W1:97.5 | Give Him the minutes which He needs | today to help you understand with Him you are the Spirit that abides |
| W1:97.11 | Offer each practice period | today gladly to Him. And He will speak to you, reminding you that you |
| W1:97.11 | for His assurance every time you speak the words He offers you | today, and let Him tell your mind that they are true. |
| W1:97.12 | belief that you are something else. The Holy Spirit gives you peace | today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him. |
| W1:98.1 | Today is a day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side | |
| 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. We will not vacillate |
| W1:98.1 | take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth | today and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is |
| W1:98.2 | How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside | today and take our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks |
| W1:98.3 | the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will take | today that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by |
| 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 every gain they |
| W1:98.4 | come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves | today. |
| W1:98.7 | Each hour | today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the |
| W1:98.8 | say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. | Today you practice with Him as you say: |
| W1:98.10 | the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the world | today. |
| W1:99.9 | who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for | today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for these are |
| W1:99.11 | Practice His thought | today, and let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened spots |
| W1:99.12 | Think of these things in practicing | today, and start your longer practice periods with this instruction |
| W1:99.16 | You have a special message for | today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear |
| W1:100.5 | We will not let ourselves be sad | today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to |
| W1:100.6 | Today we will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you | |
| W1:100.7 | You are God's messenger | today. You bring His happiness to all you look upon, His peace to |
| W1:100.7 | His message in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this | today in our five minute practice periods by feeling happiness arise |
| W1:100.10 | will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger | today. And you must find what He would have you give. |
| W1:100.11 | Do not forget the idea for | today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self Who calls |
| W1:100.11 | your longer practice periods. It is your Self Who calls to you | today. And it is Him you answer every time you tell yourself you are |
| W1:101.1 | Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key | |
| W1:101.5 | You need the practice periods | today. The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe |
| W1:101.6 | There is no sin. We practice with this thought as often as we can | today because it is the basis for today's idea. God's Will for you is |
| W1:101.10 | Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now | |
| W1:101.10 | faster to the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin. Remember this | today, and tell yourself as often as you can: |
| W1:102.2 | Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize | |
| W1:102.2 | existence like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be you free | today to join the happy Will of God. |
| W1:102.4 | Begin the longer practice periods | today with this acceptance of God's Will for you: |
| W1:102.7 | as Himself. Besides these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently | today to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your |
| W1:103.3 | This basic error we will try again to bring to truth | today and teach ourselves: |
| W1:103.5 | Begin your periods of practicing | today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God |
| W1:103.6 | this one correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour | today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces |
| W1:103.7 | God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek | today. I cannot fail because I seek the truth. |
| W1:104.2 | Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we | |
| W1:104.3 | are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They belong to us | today. Therefore we will to have them now and know in choosing them |
| W1:104.4 | Our longer practice periods | today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your salvation, should |
| W1:104.7 | we come to find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence | today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And |
| W1:104.8 | So do we clear the way for Him | today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already and that |
| W1:105.1 | God's peace and joy are yours. | Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try |
| W1:105.6 | Today accept God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself | |
| W1:105.6 | through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace | today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him. |
| W1:105.7 | Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin | |
| W1:105.7 | Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin | today by thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the |
| W1:105.9 | to you and let your mind be free of all that would prevent success | today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which |
| W1:105.10 | You must succeed | today if you prepare your mind as we suggest, for you have let all |
| W1:105.11 | Spend your five minutes thus with Him each time you can | today, but do not think that less is worthless when you cannot give |
| W1:105.12 | Determine not to interfere | today with what He wills. And if a brother seems to tempt you to deny |
| W1:106.2 | and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still | today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead |
| W1:106.3 | Be not afraid | today to circumvent the voices of the world; walk lightly past their |
| W1:106.3 | lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still | today, and listen to the truth. Go past all things which do not speak |
| W1:106.3 | His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him | today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice today. |
| W1:106.3 | only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice | today. |
| W1:106.4 | Today the promise of God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would | |
| W1:106.5 | Prepare yourself for miracles | today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your |
| W1:106.5 | Prepare yourself for miracles today. | Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your brothers |
| W1:106.5 | ancient pledge to you and all your brothers to be kept. Hear Him | today, and listen to the Word which lifts the veil which lies upon |
| W1:106.6 | Hear Him | today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who |
| W1:106.6 | to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He will speak | today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will today be given |
| W1:106.6 | He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will | today be given unto you. And you will learn your function from the |
| W1:106.7 | Listen | today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the |
| W1:106.8 | Today we practice giving, not the way you understand it now, but as | |
| W1:106.11 | Be still and listen to the truth | today. For each five minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are |
| W1:106.12 | Today the holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give | |
| W1:106.12 | what giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not forget | today to reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the Word by |
| W1:106.12 | the Word by this reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible | today: |
| W1:106.13 | Let me be still and listen to the truth. I am the messenger of God | today. My voice is His, to give what I receive. |
| W1:107.8 | Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you | |
| W1:107.9 | Today we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born | |
| W1:107.9 | The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our approach | today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we live and hope |
| W1:107.9 | and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with truth | today and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we do this |
| W1:107.11 | mind which tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him | today and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through |
| W1:107.15 | Do not forget your function for | today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will |
| W1:108.7 | Today we practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We | |
| W1:108.7 | because it has results we cannot miss. To give is to receive. | Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly |
| W1:108.8 | So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for | today and say: |
| W1:108.13 | Our very simple lesson for | today will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better |
| W1:108.13 | we will make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for | today as quick advances in your learning, made still faster and more |
| W1:109.1 | We ask for rest | today and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances. We ask for |
| W1:109.6 | You rest | today. And as you close your eyes, sink into stillness. Let these |
| W1:109.6 | No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take time | today to slip away from dreams and into peace. |
| W1:109.7 | Each hour that you take your rest | today, a tired mind is suddenly made glad, a bird with broken wings |
| W1:109.8 | With each five minutes that you rest | today the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the |
| W1:109.9 | You rest within the peace of God | today and call upon your brothers from your rest, to draw them to |
| W1:109.9 | to their rest along with you. You will be faithful to your trust | today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle |
| W1:109.10 | all enter here and rest with you. You rest within the peace of God | today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take his rest and |
| W1:109.11 | together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give | today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we |
| W1:109.11 | we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we give | today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought |
| W1:110.9 | You are as God created you. | Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of |
| W1:110.9 | you made to be the Son of God instead of what He is be worshiped not | today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your |
| W1:110.10 | Seek Him | today, and find Him. He will be your savior from all idols you have |
| W1:110.10 | are your idols and how false the images which you believed were you. | Today we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go and |
| W1:110.10 | letting idols go and opening our hands and hearts and minds to God | today. |
| W1:110.11 | with thankful hearts and loving thoughts for all who meet with us | today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will say, that we |
| W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins | today. We will review two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have |
| W1:118.2 | [105] God's peace and joy are mine. | Today I will accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the |
| W1:119.3 | To give and to receive are one in truth. I will forgive all things | today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and come to |
| W1:120.2 | [109] I rest in God. I rest in God | today and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in |
| W1:120.3 | [110] I am as God created me. I am God's Son. | Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father tell |
| W1:121.8 | of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you. | Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can |
| W1:121.8 | we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can learn | today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We |
| W1:121.9 | that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to learn | today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one whom |
| W1:122.6 | 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 answer, clear and |
| W1:122.7 | what God has given as its own. God wills salvation be received | today and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide their |
| W1:122.8 | Open your eyes | today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. |
| W1:122.9 | Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing | today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be |
| W1:122.9 | day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it | today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's |
| W1:122.11 | questions answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings. | Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and |
| W1:122.12 | Before the light you will receive | today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see |
| W1:122.12 | have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for | today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all things you |
| W1:122.12 | kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. | Today all things you want are given you. |
| W1:122.15 | Forgiveness offers everything I want. | Today I have accepted this as true. Today I have received the gifts |
| W1:122.15 | offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as true. | Today I have received the gifts of God. |
| W1:123.1 | Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to | |
| W1:123.2 | the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received. Be glad | today in loving thankfulness your Father has not left you to |
| W1:123.2 | you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks | today. |
| W1:123.4 | Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise our | |
| W1:123.4 | looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness | today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be our true |
| W1:123.4 | of the Self Which God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. | Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with lightened footsteps |
| W1:123.6 | Receive the thanks of God | today, as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the thanks |
| W1:123.7 | Receive His thanks and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice | today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He |
| W1:124.1 | Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is | |
| W1:124.3 | we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. | Today we will not doubt His Love for us nor question His protection |
| W1:124.4 | our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him | today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our |
| W1:124.4 | His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. | Today we see only the loving and the lovable. |
| W1:124.7 | and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. | Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the |
| W1:124.8 | Peace be to you | today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with |
| W1:124.8 | awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime | today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought |
| W1:124.8 | 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 hour. He |
| W1:124.9 | that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain | today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you |
| W1:124.10 | Perhaps | today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the |
| W1:124.11 | Perhaps | today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass and understand |
| W1:124.11 | for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday, perhaps | today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see. |
| W1:124.12 | further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you | today by hourly repeating to yourself: |
| W1:125.1 | and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His Word | today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. |
| W1:125.1 | He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him | today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; |
| W1:125.3 | In stillness we will hear God's Voice | today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal |
| W1:125.3 | without all judgment of His holy Word. We will not judge ourselves | today, for what we are cannot be judged. We stand apart from all the |
| W1:125.3 | which the world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. | Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the |
| W1:125.4 | salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God | today, the quiet place within the mind where He abides forever in the |
| W1:125.6 | Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word | |
| W1:125.6 | Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon | today to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its |
| W1:125.7 | Three times | today, at times most suitable for silence, give ten minutes set apart |
| W1:125.8 | 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 have |
| W1:125.9 | Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this to let your practicing | today lift you above the thinking of the world and free your vision |
| W1:125.10 | As every hour passes by | today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special |
| W1:126.8 | Today we try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the | |
| W1:126.8 | are accustomed. But the Help you need is there. Give Him your faith | today and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth today. And |
| W1:126.8 | your faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth | today. And if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies |
| W1:126.8 | a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the idea we practice for | today, this is a day of glory for the world. |
| W1:126.9 | Give 15 minutes twice | today to the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the thought by |
| W1:126.11 | As often as you can, remind yourself you have a goal | today—an aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and |
| W1:127.6 | Today we practice making free our minds of all the laws you think you | |
| W1:127.6 | live, and all the changes which you think are part of human destiny. | Today we take the largest single step this course requests in your |
| W1:127.6 | goal. If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means | today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in time |
| W1:127.7 | Let us together, then, be glad to give some time to God | today and understand there is no better use for time than this. For |
| W1:127.7 | there is no better use for time than this. For 15 minutes twice | today escape from every law in which you now believe. Open your mind |
| W1:127.8 | and what love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts | today and help you understand the truth of love. In loving |
| W1:127.9 | Today the legion of the future years of waiting for salvation | |
| W1:127.9 | before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us give thanks | today that we are spared a future like the past. Today we leave the |
| W1:127.9 | Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the past. | Today we leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And |
| W1:128.3 | Escape | today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive salvation |
| W1:128.5 | Today we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to | |
| W1:128.7 | Give it ten minutes rest three times | today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value |
| W1:129.6 | but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you | today. It waits but for your choosing it to take the place of all the |
| W1:129.10 | Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as | |
| W1:129.10 | can see it plainly and can understand. A day of grace is given you | today, and we give thanks. This day we realize that what you feared |
| W1:130.5 | Today we will not seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not | |
| W1:130.6 | Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world | |
| W1:130.6 | made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn | today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It |
| W1:130.7 | Six times | today in thanks and gratitude we gladly give five minutes to the |
| W1:130.11 | Dismiss temptation easily | today whenever it arises merely by remembering the limits on your |
| W1:131.7 | Why wait for Heaven? It is here | today. Time is the great illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet |
| W1:131.10 | Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the | |
| W1:131.10 | the place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind | today, and turn your mind to true ideas instead. |
| W1:131.11 | fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach | today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and |
| W1:131.11 | to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times | today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace |
| W1:131.15 | fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make | today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued |
| W1:131.17 | You cannot fail | today. There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might |
| W1:131.17 | some day and through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. | Today that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His |
| W1:131.17 | aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has come. | Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His Son |
| W1:131.18 | Remember often that | today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal |
| W1:131.18 | dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come. | Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for |
| W1:131.19 | Today I seek and find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to | |
| W1:132.6 | and must be borne in mind if you would understand the lesson for | today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the world you |
| W1:132.8 | And some will find it in this course and in the exercises that we do | today. |
| W1:132.11 | What is the lesson for | today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the |
| W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we | |
| W1:132.16 | Begin the 15 minute periods in which we practice twice | today with this: |
| W1:133.1 | learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do | today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell |
| W1:133.3 | There are no satisfactions in the world. | Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think |
| W1:133.14 | and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach this state | today, with self-deception laid aside and with an honest willingness |
| W1:134.14 | Today we practice true forgiveness that the time of joining be no | |
| W1:134.15 | That this may be accomplished, let us give a quarter of an hour twice | today and spend it with the Guide Who understands the meaning of |
| W1:135.22 | We will anticipate that time | today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned |
| W1:135.22 | that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this | today. We make no plans for how it will be done but realize that our |
| W1:135.23 | For 15 minutes twice | today, we rest from senseless planning and from every thought which |
| W1:135.23 | from every thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds. | Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of |
| W1:135.26 | your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive | today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder |
| W1:135.26 | demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times | today when undefended you present yourself to your Creator as you |
| W1:135.27 | He has remembered you. | Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. |
| W1:135.28 | of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning. Learn | today. And all the world will take this giant stride and celebrate |
| W1:136.15 | its arms and cease to play with folly. It is found at any time— | today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. |
| W1:136.15 | will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim | today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth |
| W1:136.16 | from us. It merely waits for just this invitation which we give | today. We introduce it with a healing prayer to help us rise above |
| W1:136.17 | will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed | today. |
| W1:137.12 | 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 thoughts of |
| W1:137.14 | and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude | today at night as well: |
| W1:138.7 | So we begin | today considering the choice that time was made to help us make. Such |
| W1:138.10 | to make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate to choose | today? |
| W1:139.9 | of God's Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. | Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept |
| W1:139.9 | is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we will do | today. |
| W1:139.10 | at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for | today. We start with this review of what our mission is: |
| W1:139.13 | with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause | today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us |
| W1:140.7 | Let us not try | today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must be |
| W1:140.8 | Today we seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for | |
| W1:140.8 | a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will try | today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because |
| W1:140.9 | We will not be misled | today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances today |
| W1:140.9 | misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances | today and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt. |
| W1:140.10 | restoring saneness to the Son of God. No voice but this can cure. | Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all |
| W1:140.11 | we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him | today. |
| W1:140.14 | our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn | today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a |
| W1:R4.1 | for the second part of learning how the truth can be applied. | Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow |
| W1:143.1 | [125] In quiet I receive God's Word | today. |
| W1:151.13 | We practice wordlessly | today, except at the beginning of the time you spend with God. We |
| W1:152.8 | Let us | today be truly humble and accept what we have made as what it is. The |
| W1:152.9 | Today we practice true humility, abandoning the false pretense by | |
| W1:153.8 | We will not play such childish games | today. For our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not |
| W1:153.9 | We look past dreams | today and recognize that we need no defense because we are created |
| W1:153.15 | Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We | |
| W1:153.19 | Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as | |
| W1:154.1 | Let us | today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond |
| W1:154.10 | It is this joining that we undertake to recognize | today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks |
| W1:154.12 | Let us but learn this lesson for | today: we will not recognize what we receive until we give it. You |
| W1:154.13 | Our lesson for | today is stated thus: |
| W1:154.15 | realize these holy words are true. They are the message sent to us | today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our |
| W1:155.3 | This is the simple choice we make | today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to |
| W1:155.14 | His own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought | today: |
| W1:156.8 | a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. | Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your |
| W1:157.1 | awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. | Today you learn to feel the joy of life. |
| W1:157.3 | Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will | |
| W1:157.4 | He will direct your practicing | today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined |
| W1:157.5 | and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience | today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for |
| W1:157.6 | Your body will be sanctified | today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you |
| W1:157.8 | have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it well. | Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the |
| W1:157.8 | given you has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start | today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own. |
| W1:158.2 | All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give | today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text. |
| W1:158.8 | not merely disappear when this has been perceived. And this you give | today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of God he is, |
| W1:158.10 | your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother whom you meet | today provides another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you and |
| W1:158.11 | with its immortal love. We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ | today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon |
| W1:160.9 | Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for | |
| W1:161.1 | Today we practice differently and take a stand against our anger, | |
| W1:161.11 | Today we practice in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness | |
| W1:161.11 | attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you will come | today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you |
| W1:161.11 | Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you will succeed | today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept |
| W1:162.4 | Today we practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they | |
| W1:162.5 | We honor you | today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now accept. With |
| W1:162.6 | words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come | today to bless the world, for you have recognized the Son of God, and |
| W1:163.8 | they would be instantly released. And you will show them this | today. There is no death, and we renounce it now in every form for |
| W1:163.8 | form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we take | today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life beyond. |
| W1:163.9 | Our Father, bless our eyes | today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious |
| W1:164.1 | truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is. And so | today, this instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there |
| W1:164.3 | How holy is your practicing | today, as Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in |
| W1:164.3 | which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will | today accept the gifts He gives. |
| W1:164.4 | of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this | today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring |
| W1:164.4 | All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing | today will bring rewards so great and so completely different from |
| W1:164.7 | We will not judge | today. We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond |
| W1:164.7 | what is given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing | today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness |
| W1:164.9 | worthy to be sought above the world's unsatisfying goals? Let not | today slip by without the gifts it holds for you receiving your |
| W1:165.4 | Deny not Heaven. It is yours | today but for the asking. Nor need you perceive how great the gift, |
| W1:165.7 | Practice | today in hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are |
| W1:167.10 | Let us | today be children of the truth and not deny our holy heritage. Our |
| W1:167.10 | an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death in any form | today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an |
| W1:167.11 | His holy home we strive to keep | today, as He established it and wills it be forever and forever. He |
| W1:167.11 | it and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think | today. And in His thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand |
| W1:168.3 | Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved within | |
| W1:168.5 | It is a new and holy day | today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the |
| W1:168.6 | receive. Such is His Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray | today, returning but the words He gave to us through His Own Voice, |
| W1:169.14 | Our learning goal | today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the world, what could be |
| W1:170.2 | it grow and swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. | Today we learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless |
| W1:170.8 | Today we look upon this cruel god dispassionately. And we note that | |
| W1:170.12 | The choice you make | today is certain. For you look for the last time upon this bit of |
| W1:174.3 | [158] | Today I learn to give as I receive. God is but Love, and therefore so |
| W1:181.3 | Therefore in practicing | today, we first let all such little focuses give way to our great |
| W1:181.10 | We seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing | today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the |
| W1:182.3 | We speak | today for everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. He |
| W1:182.9 | Rest with Him frequently | today. For He was willing to become a little child that you might |
| W1:182.10 | is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from time to time | today. You are as much an alien here as He. |
| W1:182.11 | Take time | today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and lay down the |
| W1:182.12 | be denied. The holy Child remains with you. His home is yours. | Today He gives you His defenselessness, and you accept it in exchange |
| W1:183.6 | altar which reaches to God Himself and to His Son. Practice but this | today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still again. Become |
| W1:183.10 | Today you can achieve a state in which you will experience the gifts | |
| W1:183.10 | the world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept | today the part you play in its salvation and your own as well, and |
| W1:183.12 | peace eternal. In our Father's Name, we would experience this peace | today. And in His Name it shall be given us. |
| W1:185.7 | Let us | today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the |
| W1:185.8 | Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your mind | |
| W1:185.14 | It is this one intent we seek | today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the call of |
| W1:185.14 | as God created it. With help like this beside us, can we fail | today as we request the peace of God be given us? |
| W1:186.3 | humility request but this? And what could arrogance deny but this? | Today we will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds |
| W1:186.4 | All false humility we lay aside | today that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to us what He would |
| W1:188.8 | We practice coming nearer to the light in us | today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to |
| W1:189.6 | Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in us and | |
| W1:189.6 | Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way | today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it carries us. For its |
| W1:189.9 | And so | today we do not choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do |
| W1:191.7 | Be glad | today how very easily is hell undone. You need but tell yourself: |
| W1:191.12 | And we will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me | today. Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold |
| W1:192.10 | Be merciful | today. The Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you |
| W1:193.14 | We will attempt | today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one |
| W1:193.14 | another minute, or another instant. Time was made for this. Use it | today for what its purpose is. Morning and night, devote what time |
| W1:193.16 | Each hour spend a little time | today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in |
| W1:194.6 | If you can see the lesson for | today as the deliverance it really is, you will not hesitate to give |
| W1:195.9 | Today we learn to think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and | |
| W1:196.2 | in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we practice for | today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that punishment can never |
| W1:196.4 | from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let us take this step | today that we may quickly go the way salvation shows us, taking every |
| W1:196.8 | Our next steps will be easy if you take this one | today. From there we go ahead quite rapidly. For once you understand |
| W1:196.9 | Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the idea we practice for | today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the world |
| W1:196.11 | Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon— | today. Step back from fear and make advance to love. |
| W1:198.9 | Today we practice letting freedom come to make its home with you. The | |
| W1:198.11 | Do not forget | today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an |
| W1:198.12 | is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let | today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as well. Be |
| W1:198.15 | Today we come still nearer to the end of everything that yet would | |
| W1:198.15 | For He would give to us the gift that God has given us through Him | today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The |
| W1:198.15 | it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has come | today. |
| W1:199.5 | Cherish today's idea, and practice it | today and every day. Make it a part of every practice period you |
| W1:199.7 | Be free | today, and carry freedom as your gift to those who still believe they |
| W1:199.8 | this? Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for | today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is |
| W1:200.9 | Let us not lose our way again | today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt |
| W1:200.11 | Today we seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of | |
| W1:200.11 | God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us | today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of |
| W1:218.1 | through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet | today I can behold this glory and be glad. I am not a body. I am |
| W2:221.1 | Father, I come to You | today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. |
| W2:221.1 | of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me | today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and |
| W2:222.1 | shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks | today! |
| W2:223.2 | longer. We are lonely here and long for Heaven where we are at home. | Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we |
| W2:227.1 | Father, it is | today that I am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make |
| W2:227.2 | And so | today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. |
| W2:228.2 | part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go | today. And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really |
| W2:232.1 | my mind, my Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the day | today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let |
| W2:232.2 | This is as every day should be. | Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father. |
| W2:233.1 | Father, I give You all my thoughts | today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your own. |
| W2:233.1 | goals which cannot be obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. | Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You |
| W2:233.2 | Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we | |
| W2:234.1 | Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are | |
| W2:234.1 | peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true | today. |
| W2:236.1 | to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. | Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. |
| W2:236.2 | Father, my mind is open to Your thoughts and closed | today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind and offer it to You. |
| W2:237.1 | Today I will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and | |
| W2:237.2 | Christ is my eyes | today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today. |
| W2:237.2 | is my eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God | today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true |
| W2:238.2 | And so again | today we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear |
| W2:239.1 | Let not the truth about ourselves | today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for |
| W2:240.1 | but to your 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 |
| W2:240.2 | are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith | today to recognize Your Son and set him free. Let us forgive him in |
| W2:241.1 | What joy there is | today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the |
| W2:241.1 | What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For | today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release |
| W2:241.1 | sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns | today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless |
| W2:241.1 | be united now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you | today. |
| W2:242.1 | I will not lead my life alone | today. I do not understand the world. And so to try to lead my life |
| W2:242.2 | And so we give | today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for |
| W2:243.1 | I will be honest with myself | today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond |
| W2:243.1 | the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. | Today I recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgment |
| W2:243.2 | Father, | today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in |
| W2:247.2 | So would I look on everyone | today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and |
| W2:247.2 | them and gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self as well. | Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize |
| W2:250.1 | Let me behold the Son of God | today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the holy |
| W2:250.2 | He is Your Son, my Father. And | today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is |
| W2:250.2 | of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him, so I see myself. | Today I would see truly that this day I may at last identify with him. |
| W2:WIS.5 | children's toys? How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps | today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold |
| W2:254.1 | Father, | today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would come |
| W2:254.1 | the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You | today. |
| W2:254.2 | Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such | |
| W2:255.1 | It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace | today. And yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me |
| W2:255.1 | in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I choose be mine | today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's Son can have |
| W2:255.1 | and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In his name I give | today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine |
| W2:255.2 | You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend | today. |
| W2:256.1 | whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream | today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds |
| W2:257.1 | depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want | today that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully and |
| W2:257.1 | and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would have us do | today. |
| W2:257.2 | our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours | today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach |
| W2:259.2 | Father, I would not be insane | today. I would not be afraid of love nor seek for refuge in its |
| W2:260.1 | remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You | today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. |
| W2:260.1 | vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself | today. |
| W2:261.1 | within 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 |
| W2:261.2 | Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You | today. I choose to be as You created me and find the Son whom You |
| W2:262.1 | Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon | today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand |
| W2:264.1 | Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name | today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love. |
| W2:264.2 | My brothers, join with me in this | today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save |
| W2:265.1 | that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone. | Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation |
| W2:268.1 | Let me not be Your critic, Lord, | today, and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with |
| W2:268.2 | Let not our sight be blasphemous | today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free |
| W2:268.2 | of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek | today. |
| W2:269.1 | I ask Your blessing on my sight | today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to |
| W2:269.1 | to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. | Today I choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the |
| W2:269.2 | Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look | |
| W2:270.2 | The quiet of | today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to |
| W2:270.2 | and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes | today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world through |
| W2:271.1 | I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. | Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen |
| W2:271.2 | to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look upon | today. |
| W2:272.2 | Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to | |
| W2:274.1 | Father, | today I would let all things be as You created them and give Your Son |
| W2:274.2 | A special blessing comes to us | today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there will |
| W2:274.2 | Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear | today because the day is given unto Love. |
| W2:275.1 | Let us | today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no |
| W2:275.1 | the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true | today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time |
| W2:275.2 | Your healing Voice protects all things | today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over |
| W2:278.2 | and my creation and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. | Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You instead of madness |
| W2:279.2 | I will accept Your promises | today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He |
| W2:280.2 | Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to | |
| W2:281.2 | I will not hurt myself | today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in |
| W2:282.1 | If I could realize but this | today, salvation would be reached for all the world. This the |
| W2:282.2 | The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me not be afraid of truth | today. |
| W2:284.1 | to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words | today, go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the |
| W2:284.2 | grief and pain must be impossible. Let me not fail to trust in You | today, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts, accepting but the |
| W2:285.1 | Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come | |
| W2:285.1 | and how would grief and loss avail me, if insanity departs from me | today and I accept my holiness instead? |
| W2:286.1 | Father, how still | today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that |
| W2:286.2 | The stillness of | today will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far |
| W2:286.2 | found the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. | Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We |
| W2:288.2 | Forgive me, then, | today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your |
| W2:290.2 | With this resolve, 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, |
| W2:290.2 | You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness | today. |
| W2:291.1 | Christ's vision looks through me | today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace and offers |
| W2:291.1 | for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we look upon | today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to |
| W2:293.2 | Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight | today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the |
| W2:293.2 | all past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes | today. |
| W2:294.1 | unneeded and cast off. Let me not see it more than this | today—of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its |
| W2:295.1 | Christ asks that He may use my eyes | today and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer |
| W2:295.2 | one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ | today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all things that |
| W2:296.1 | The Holy Spirit needs my voice | today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word |
| W2:296.1 | I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me | today. |
| W2:296.2 | We teach | today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning goal |
| W2:298.2 | Father, I come to You | today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You are beside |
| W2:300.1 | And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious, and sure | today. |
| W2:300.2 | We seek Your holy world | today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we |
| W2:300.2 | to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks | today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that |
| W2:301.1 | I judge it not. And therefore is it only what You will. Let me | today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes forgiveness has |
| W2:301.1 | for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your world | today. |
| W2:301.2 | the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world | today. |
| W2:302.1 | must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world | today that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but |
| W2:303.1 | Watch with me, angels; watch with me | today. Let all God's holy thoughts surround me and be still with me |
| W2:303.1 | Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me | today. |
| W2:305.2 | Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved. Help us | today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us |
| W2:306.1 | What but Christ's vision would I use | today when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to |
| W2:306.1 | see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? | Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear and |
| W2:306.1 | ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made. | Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and |
| W2:306.1 | can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace. | Today I am redeemed and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; |
| W2:309.2 | The step I take | today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your |
| W2:310.1 | Your grace has come to me and that it is Your will that I be free | today. |
| W2:310.2 | are restored to peace and holiness. There is no room in us for fear | today, for we have welcomed love into our hearts. |
| W2:311.1 | cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it | today but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He |
| W2:311.2 | Father, we wait with open mind | today to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know him, |
| W2:312.2 | I have no purpose for | today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the |
| W2:312.2 | from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your will for me | today, and therefore it must be my goal as well. |
| W2:313.2 | Let us | today behold each other in the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are! |
| W2:313.2 | we are! 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 |
| W2:315.2 | I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me | today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited |
| W2:316.2 | Father, I would accept Your gifts | today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them |
| W2:317.2 | Father, Your way is what I choose | today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it would have |
| W2:318.2 | Let me | today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I |
| W2:321.2 | Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How | |
| W2:326.2 | Let us | today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, |
| W2:329.2 | Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source. We | |
| W2:330.1 | God created cannot sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us choose | today that He be our Identity and thus escape forever from all things |
| W2:330.2 | to know our one Identity we share with You. We would return to It | today, to be made free forever from all our mistakes and to be saved |
| W2:331.2 | that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows | today that we may find the peace of God. Amen. |
| W2:332.2 | We would not bind the world again | today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the |
| W2:334.1 | rest on false perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again | today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and |
| W2:334.1 | of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my choice | today. And so I go to find the treasures God has given me. |
| W2:334.2 | and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? | Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for |
| W2:339.1 | for what will frighten him and bring him suffering. Let us resolve | today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may |
| W2:340.1 | Father, I thank You for | today and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is |

| W1:4.2 | In selecting the subjects for the application of | today's idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to |

| W1:11.2 | The practice periods for | today's idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the |
| W1:12.5 | one. All terms which cross your mind are suitable subjects for | today's exercises. Their seeming quality does not matter. |
| W1:12.6 | Be sure that you do not alter the time intervals between applying | today's idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is |
| W1:13.1 | Today's idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that | |
| W1:13.4 | different way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat | today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you |
| W1:14.2 | a minute at most. Do not have more than three practice periods with | today's idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be |
| W1:14.6 | Suitable subjects for the application of | today's idea also include anything you are afraid might happen to you |
| W1:14.7 | recognition of this fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating | today's idea: |
| W1:15.6 | include a large number of specific subjects for the application of | today's idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each |
| W1:15.7 | to feel uneasy. Do not have more than three application periods for | today's idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do |
| W1:16.4 | quality which you assign to it, is a suitable subject for applying | today's idea. |
| W1:16.7 | As usual, use | today's idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which |
| W1:17.2 | In applying | today's idea, say to yourself, with eyes open: |
| W1:18.2 | Today's idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see | |
| W1:19.3 | The minute or so of mind searching which | today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The |
| W1:19.6 | Apart from the “as needed” application of | today's idea, at least three practice periods are required, |
| W1:20.4 | in reminding yourselves throughout the day that you want to see. | Today's idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see |
| W1:20.5 | Repeat | today's idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, |
| W1:22.1 | Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack | |
| W1:23.6 | as the need arises, five practice periods are required in applying | today's idea. As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to |
| W1:23.9 | and you are asked at this time only to treat them as the same in | today's practice periods. We are still at the stage of identifying |
| W1:24.4 | The practice periods begin with repeating | today's idea, followed by searching the mind with closed eyes for |
| W1:25.1 | Purpose is meaning. | Today's idea explains why nothing you see means anything. You do not |
| W1:25.8 | completed the statement. Then move on to the next subject, and apply | today's idea as before. |
| W1:26.4 | Practice with | today's idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or |
| W1:26.5 | Six practice periods are required in applying | today's idea. A full two minutes should be attempted for each of |
| W1:26.6 | because a longer time than usual should be spent with each one. | Today's idea should be applied as follows: |
| W1:26.15 | Conclude each practice period by repeating | today's idea once more. |
| W1:27.1 | Today's idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It | |
| W1:27.1 | not sure you really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of | today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly |
| W1:27.7 | real question is how often will you remember? How much do you want | today's idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have |
| W1:27.7 | you feel that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating | today's idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years |
| W1:28.7 | chosen randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as | today's idea is applied to it in an attempt to acknowledge the equal |
| W1:29.1 | every idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. | Today's idea is the whole basis for vision. |
| W1:29.3 | shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand | today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could |
| W1:29.4 | selection, which may be particularly tempting in connection with | today's idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any |
| W1:30.3 | Today's idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the | |
| W1:30.4 | present range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply | today's idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and |
| W1:30.5 | to this idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying | today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to |
| W1:30.5 | subjects come to mind and looking within rather than without. | Today's idea applies equally to both. |
| W1:31.1 | Today's idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. | |
| W1:31.3 | on your part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat | today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense |
| W1:32.2 | you see outside you and the other the world you see in your mind. In | today's exercises, try to introduce the thought that both are in your |
| W1:33.1 | Today's idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your | |
| W1:33.3 | periods should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of | today's idea should also be made immediately when any situation |
| W1:33.5 | Remember to apply | today's idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be |
| W1:34.2 | Three longer practice periods are required for | today's exercises. One in the morning and one in the evening are |
| W1:34.2 | eyes closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of | today's idea should be made. |
| W1:34.7 | its original form. If you find you need more than one application of | today's idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, |
| W1:35.1 | Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does, | |
| W1:35.3 | in truth. We will use a somewhat different kind of application for | today's idea because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver |
| W1:35.4 | of the three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating | today's idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your |
| W1:35.8 | to your reactions to that situation, and use them in applying | today's idea. After you have named each one, add: |
| W1:35.10 | up specific things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat | today's idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although nothing |
| W1:36.1 | Today's idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the | |
| W1:37.4 | Today's four longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five | |
| W1:38.3 | In | today's exercises, we will apply the power of your holiness to all |
| W1:38.8 | the theme “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” The purpose of | today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense that you have |
| W1:39.3 | not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? | Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your |
| W1:39.6 | Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating | today's idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your |
| W1:39.7 | with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for | today's exercises. It is imperative for your own salvation that you |
| W1:39.10 | with several short periods during which you merely repeat | today's idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it |
| W1:39.14 | and more if possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat | today's idea, or preferably both. If temptations arise, a |
| W1:40.3 | Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today's | |
| W1:40.3 | Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat | today's idea, and then add several of the attributes which you |
| W1:41.1 | Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of | |
| W1:41.5 | your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat | today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. |
| W1:41.6 | From time to time, you may repeat | today's idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink |
| W1:41.8 | Throughout the day, use | today's idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes |
| W1:42.4 | think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to | today's idea. You might think, for example: |
| W1:42.8 | that active searching for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for | today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. |
| W1:43.8 | and longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat | today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to |
| W1:43.10 | Or any thought related more or less directly to | today's idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious |
| W1:43.11 | begin to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with | today's idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open |
| W1:43.12 | In applying | today's idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary |
| W1:43.18 | not to allow long periods of time to slip by without remembering | today's idea and thus remembering your function. |
| W1:44.7 | Begin the practice period by repeating | today's idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the |
| W1:44.9 | If resistance rises in any form, pause long enough to repeat | today's idea, keeping your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. |
| W1:45.1 | Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are | |
| W1:45.12 | In using the shorter form for applying | today's idea, try to remember how important it is to you to |
| W1:46.3 | Today's exercises require at least three full five-minute practice | |
| W1:46.3 | as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating | today's idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and |
| W1:46.6 | The purpose of the first phase of | today's practice is to put you in the best position to forgive |
| W1:46.12 | The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of | today's idea as originally stated. |
| W1:47.4 | ones are urged. Close your eyes and begin as usual by repeating | today's idea. Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations |
| W1:48.2 | Today's practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very | |
| W1:49.5 | Do not forget to repeat | today's idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when |
| W1:52.1 | Today's review covers these ideas: | |
| W1:55.1 | Today's review includes the following: | |
| W1:60.1 | These ideas are for | today's review: |
| W1:61.2 | To the ego, | today's idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does |
| W1:61.3 | True humility requires that you accept | today's idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is true. |
| W1:61.9 | Today's idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are | |
| W1:62.4 | Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing | today's idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the |
| W1:63.5 | for such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing | today's idea. |
| W1:64.1 | Today's idea is merely another way of saying, “Let me not wander into | |

| W1:66.13 | Today's idea is another giant stride in the perception of the same as | |
| W1:67.1 | Today's idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. | |
| W1:68.6 | Begin | today's extended practice period by searching your mind for those |
| W1:68.11 | The short practice periods should include a quick application of | today's idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises |
| W1:69.9 | will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of | today's idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your |
| W1:70.2 | The seeming “cost” of accepting | today's idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save |
| W1:70.3 | Today's idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong | |
| W1:71.9 | Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about | today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making |
| W1:71.13 | to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of | today's idea: |
| W1:73.17 | several times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply | today's idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a |
| W1:74.2 | There is great peace in | today's idea. And the exercises for today are directed towards |
| W1:76.12 | joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat | today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws |
| W1:81.3 | Some specific forms for applying | today's idea when specific difficulties seem to arise might be: |
| W1:84.1 | These are the ideas for | today's review: |
| W1:85.1 | Today's review will cover these ideas: | |
| W1:91.14 | miracles are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with | today's idea. This form would be helpful for this special purpose: |
| W1:95.1 | Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one | |
| W1:95.20 | Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat | today's idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you |
| W1:95.20 | with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of | today's idea and tell him this: |
| W1:97.1 | Today's idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split | |
| W1:98.7 | of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing | today's idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His |
| W1:98.7 | you lack. His words will join with yours and make each repetition of | today's idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure |
| W1:98.12 | for the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat | today's idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. |
| W1:100.8 | Begin the exercises with the thought | today's idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only |
| W1:101.6 | this thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for | today's idea. God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there |
| W1:101.10 | Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now | today's idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster |
| W1:104.1 | Today's idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not | |
| W1:108.1 | Vision depends upon | today's idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming |
| W1:110.1 | We will repeat | today's idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough |
| W1:110.2 | has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. | Today's idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction |
| W1:110.5 | The healing power of | today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the |
| W1:110.5 | great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice | today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you |
| W1:126.1 | Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the | |
| W1:126.9 | Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand | today's idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper |
| W1:126.10 | place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat | today's idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means. |
| W1:132.9 | Today's idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is | |
| W1:132.10 | must now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for | today's idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you |
| W1:137.1 | Today's idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests. | |
| W1:156.1 | Today's idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of | |
| W1:157.4 | day, what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but | today's idea to light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation |
| W1:161.1 | to love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice | today's idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail |
| W1:161.16 | Today's idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be sure | |
| 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 thought, |
| W1:186.3 | Today's idea may seem quite sobering until you see its meaning. All | |
| W1:191.5 | But let | today's idea find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far |
| W1:194.1 | Today's idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant | |
| W1:194.2 | Accept | today's idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all |
| W1:194.2 | thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept | today's idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment |
| W1:196.3 | not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within | today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of |
| W1:196.4 | Today's idea is one step we take in leading us from bondage to the | |

| Tx:11.21 | not so difficult as the denial of truth, and what we can accomplish | together must be believed when you see it as accomplished. |
| Tx:11.72 | you look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it | together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real world exists and |
| Tx:11.83 | of love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all things | together by extending its wholeness. |
| Tx:12.75 | already overcome every temptation that would hold you back. We walk | together on the way to quietness that is the gift of God. Hold me |
| Tx:12.75 | you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find | together. The Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to |
| Tx:13.3 | be seen in everything and everywhere. Yet only God can gather them | together by crowning them as one with the final gift of eternity. |
| Tx:13.32 | guilt and wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him | together and love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. |
| Tx:13.34 | make the Father one with His own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but | together we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone |
| Tx:13.91 | and Father, and awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join | together as the truth in you, making you one with Him. |
| Tx:14.10 | Teachers of innocence, each in his own way, have joined | together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the |
| Tx:14.16 | The journey that we undertake | together is the exchange of dark for light, of ignorance for |
| Tx:14.19 | of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are brought | together, the truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite |
| Tx:14.24 | or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be brought | together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in your |
| Tx:14.27 | both maintained. It has been recognized that if they were brought | together their joint acceptance would become impossible. But if one |
| Tx:14.28 | each in a separate place can be endowed with firm belief. Bring them | together, and the fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly |
| Tx:14.30 | light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you | together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it |
| Tx:14.35 | may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be brought | together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead you to |
| Tx:14.36 | the Father and His creations, and the creations of His Son with them | together. There is one link which joins them all together, holding |
| Tx:14.36 | His Son with them together. There is one link which joins them all | together, holding them in the oneness out of which creation happens. |
| Tx:14.37 | can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are brought | together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father |
| Tx:14.38 | to holiness, or what you made to what you are. The bringing | together of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy |
| Tx:14.48 | thoughts, which, even though they may conflict, can occur to you | together and in great numbers. You are so used to this that it can |
| Tx:14.50 | The little sanity which still remains is held | together by a sense of order which you establish. Yet the very fact |
| Tx:14.53 | impressive but which lack any consistent sense when they are put | together. |
| Tx:14.54 | of the ego's judgments. Separately, they seem to hold, but put them | together and the system of thought which arises from joining them is |
| Tx:14.54 | For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when two or more join | together in searching for truth, the ego can no longer defend its |
| Tx:14.55 | unless he joins with you in seeking it. If you undertake the search | together, you bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is |
| Tx:14.72 | you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go | together and never can be found alone. Each brings the other with it, |
| Tx:15.5 | doing both by using dissociation for holding its contradictory aims | together so that they seem to be reconciled. The ego teaches thus: |
| Tx:15.29 | join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is our task | together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom God |
| Tx:15.31 | you can learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that | together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of |
| Tx:15.33 | in His that we may release all those who would be bound, proclaiming | together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one |
| Tx:15.41 | with those around you and with God Who surrounds all of you | together. |
| Tx:15.57 | holy instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize | together that he is wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of |
| Tx:15.63 | else, or would attempt to be nothing else and something else | together, the language of communication, which you know perfectly, |
| Tx:15.64 | brothers is remembered with Him. For communication is remembered | together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant |
| Tx:15.71 | that the ego can ensure the guilt which holds all its relationships | together. |
| Tx:15.72 | Yet they only seem to be | together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are |
| Tx:15.72 | together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are | together. It is always physical closeness that the ego demands, and |
| Tx:15.75 | must be kept private or you will lose them, and if your bodies are | together your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes |
| Tx:15.80 | aside but what you still desire with all your hearts. Let us join | together in making the holy instant all that there is by desiring |
| Tx:15.80 | Behold the only need that God and His Son share and will to meet | together. You are not alone in this. The will of your creations calls |
| Tx:15.92 | Release me as I will your release. The time of Christ we celebrate | together, for it has no meaning if we are apart. |
| Tx:15.95 | manifestations of the same idea, and one you do not want, they go | together. The idea is simply this—you believe that it is possible |
| Tx:15.101 | and the Thought that has been given you. When they are brought | together and perceived where they are, the choice between them is |
| Tx:15.103 | you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate our release | together by releasing everyone with us. Leave nothing behind, for |
| Tx:15.106 | away holds all the meaning of the universe and holds the universe | together in its meaning. For unless the universe were joined in you, |
| Tx:15.111 | I will your release, because I recognize that we will be released | together. |
| Tx:16.18 | greater faith in the disaster you have made. Today let us resolve | together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and |
| Tx:16.19 | yourself and been successful. Is it not time you brought these facts | together and made sense of them? |
| Tx:16.25 | God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as you are God and Him | together. For God's answer to the separation added more to you than |
| Tx:16.25 | you tried to take away. He protected both your creations and you | together, keeping one with you what you would exclude. And they will |
| Tx:16.32 | is welcome in some aspects of the relationship, but it is still held | together by the illusion of love. If the illusion goes, the |
| Tx:16.41 | way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from truth | together, and then together we go straight to God in joyous answer to |
| Tx:16.41 | take the last foolish journey away from truth together, and then | together we go straight to God in joyous answer to His call for His |
| Tx:16.42 | you are complete forever. There is no veil the love of God in us | together cannot lift. The way to truth is open. Follow it with me. |
| Tx:16.44 | and even natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate | together, and even those who believe that hate is sin merely feel |
| Tx:16.63 | you to bring your brothers to the bridge with you and to be released | together there. |
| Tx:16.64 | on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold your world | together. This frame of reference is built around the special |
| Tx:17.42 | of relationship and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace | together to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will |
| Tx:17.51 | this is loss. In your newness, remember that you have started again | together. And take each other's hand to walk together along a road |
| Tx:17.51 | you have started again together. And take each other's hand to walk | together along a road far more familiar than you now believe. Is it |
| Tx:17.52 | Condemn salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome it | together, for it has come to join you together in a relationship in |
| Tx:17.52 | come to you. And welcome it together, for it has come to join you | together in a relationship in which all the Sonship is together |
| Tx:17.52 | to join you together in a relationship in which all the Sonship is | together blessed. |
| Tx:17.53 | You undertook | together to invite the Holy Spirit into your relationship. He could |
| Tx:17.55 | You stand | together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, |
| Tx:17.55 | together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, | together with you. Think you not the goal itself will gladly arrange |
| Tx:17.59 | it has already happened. Then you look back at it and try to piece | together what it must have meant. And you will be wrong. Not only is |
| Tx:18.9 | about each other can abide. Here you are joined in God, as much | together as you are with Him. The original error has not entered |
| Tx:18.10 | and as one. And as He loves you, so you are. You are not joined | together in illusions but in the Thought so holy and so perfect that |
| Tx:18.10 | illusions cannot remain to darken the holy place in which you stand | together. God is with you, my brothers. Let us join in Him in peace |
| Tx:18.11 | relationship with truth. God and His whole creation have entered it | together. How lovely and how holy is your relationship, with the |
| Tx:18.11 | is as it was created.] The universe within you stands with you, | together. And Heaven looks with love on what is joined in it, along |
| Tx:18.12 | of peace in those who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking | together out of this world and through another to the loveliness and |
| Tx:18.13 | You have been called | together to the most holy function that this world contains. It is |
| Tx:18.13 | glowing purpose in which you join. The holy light that brought you | together must extend, as you accepted it. |
| Tx:18.28 | Each instant that we spend | together will teach you that this goal is possible and will |
| Tx:18.30 | experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to help us do | together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past |
| Tx:18.31 | of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming home | together after a long and meaningless journey which you undertook |
| Tx:18.58 | the body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared Identity | together. Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a body, |
| Tx:18.67 | A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One instant spent | together restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared. Now |
| Tx:18.68 | do not need this time. Time has been saved for you because you are | together. This is the special means this course is using to save you |
| Tx:18.82 | no more know God alone than He knows you without your brother. But | together you could no more be unaware of love than love could know |
| Tx:19.6 | Both cannot be | together nor perceived in the same place. To dedicate yourself to |
| Tx:19.7 | sickness, nor established remedy where sickness cannot be. They are | together, and when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both |
| 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 mind, |
| Tx:19.13 | where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by grace | together, that you may heal through faith. |
| Tx:19.14 | unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it | together. There will you see the miracle of your relationship as it |
| Tx:19.14 | do, returning the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand | together before the altar from which they were sent forth. |
| Tx:19.55 | an honored guest. And in a holy instant, grace is said by everyone | together as they join in gentleness before the table of communion. |
| Tx:19.64 | relationship, I am there already. We will surmount all obstacles | together, for we stand within the gates and not outside. How easily |
| Tx:19.64 | the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk past barriers | together when you have joined the limitless? The end of guilt is in |
| Tx:19.66 | within the home you offered to my Father and to me. And we are there | together in the quiet communion in which the Father and the Son are |
| Tx:19.97 | Forget not that you came this far | together. And it was surely not the ego that led you here. No |
| Tx:19.98 | you here a while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join | together in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose |
| Tx:19.98 | has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here | together will offer you the innocence you need and that you will |
| Tx:19.101 | of each other, for you will share in madness or in Heaven | together. And you will raise your eyes in faith together or not at |
| Tx:19.101 | madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes in faith | together or not at all. |
| Tx:19.106 | freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free | together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving |
| Tx:19.106 | receive it of Him in return for what you gave. He leadeth you and me | together that we might meet here in this holy place and make the same |
| Tx:19.107 | here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So will we prepare | together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son and let him rise |
| Tx:19.108 | Together we will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to | |
| Tx:19.110 | meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand | together, still without conviction they have a purpose. Yet it is |
| Tx:20.12 | refrain the Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes | together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, |
| Tx:20.12 | share in quietness, and where we live in gentleness and peace as one | together. |
| Tx:20.15 | savior from his pain. And gladly will you walk the way of innocence | together, singing as you behold the open door of Heaven, and |
| Tx:20.38 | Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised | together call to the hearts of everyone and let them beat as one. And |
| Tx:20.38 | which has the power to hold the unity of the Son of God | together. You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift is |
| Tx:20.52 | the illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held | together for a little while in time and vanished. For what could |
| Tx:20.54 | way to true relationships held gently open, through which you walk | together, leaving the body thankfully behind and resting in the |
| Tx:21.28 | truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who created you | together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you deny your |
| Tx:21.54 | true effect of this same Source as is the answer, must therefore be | together and the same. |
| Tx:21.72 | know not their enemy, except they hate him. In hatred they have come | together but have not joined each other. For had they done so, hatred |
| Tx:22.1 | yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come | together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on sin |
| Tx:22.1 | 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. Sin |
| Tx:22.2 | where each one thinks the other has what he has not. They come | together, each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay until |
| Tx:22.15 | What is as like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws you | together draws Him to you. Here are His sweetness and His gentle |
| Tx:22.40 | hangs between you and the face of Christ. Let it be lifted! Raise it | together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone |
| Tx:22.41 | will each 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. |
| Tx:22.43 | which seemed to rise and block their way before. This veil you lift | together opens the way to truth to more than you. Those who would let |
| Tx:22.44 | him alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship—to receive | together and give as you received. Standing before the veil, it still |
| Tx:22.47 | and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you stand | together with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can |
| Tx:22.48 | this tiny mouse or everything that God created? You are not joined | together by this mouse but by the Will of God. And can a mouse betray |
| Tx:22.49 | is irresistible in truth. What, then, must happen when they come | together? Can the illusion of immovability be long defended from what |
| Tx:23.52 | where He would have you, and no illusion can attack the peace of God | together with His Son. |
| Tx:24.41 | and wove a picture out of nothing. For the parts do not belong | together, and the whole contributes nothing to the parts to give them |
| Tx:25.10 | itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all things | together must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language which this |
| Tx:25.22 | purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought | together as you join in will that you be made complete by offering |
| Tx:25.40 | him. Alone does neither have it. So must it remain useless to both. | Together, it will give to each an equal strength to save the other |
| Tx:26.19 | from time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are brought | together—where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid |
| Tx:26.20 | because knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They are brought | together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is. |
| Tx:26.61 | The miracle is possible when cause and consequence are brought | together, not kept separate. The healing of effect without the cause |
| Tx:27.14 | two, I pardon you my hurt.” His pardon and your hurt cannot exist | together. One denies the other and must make it false. |
| Tx:27.52 | have a problem which is different from the rest. Yet they are solved | together. And their common answer shows the questions could not have |
| Tx:27.82 | a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. | Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that time cannot |
| Tx:27.85 | He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look | together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge |
| Tx:28.22 | he dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the dream has put | together and has offered him to show him that his wishes have been |
| Tx:28.51 | they but report. It is not they that hear and see, but you, who put | together every jagged piece, each senseless scrap and shred of |
| Tx:28.52 | bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or two perhaps, all put | together to attest its truth. Reality does not depend on this. There |
| Tx:30.1 | step. Each one will help a little every time it is attempted. And | together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to |
| Tx:30.64 | for you have enabled Him to rise from chains and go with you | together to His Father's house. |
| Tx:31.23 | walk with him, so neither leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you go | together, not alone. And in this choice is learning's outcome |
| Tx:31.25 | Together is your joint inheritance remembered and accepted by you | |
| W1:26.2 | thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted | together. They contradict each other. |
| W1:31.2 | apply the same idea to your inner world. You will escape from both | together, for the inner is the cause of the outer. |
| W1:37.1 | world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed | together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone |
| W1:42.9 | The idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts | together and teaching you that we are studying a unified thought |
| W1:44.1 | Creation and darkness cannot coexist, but light and life must go | together, being but different aspects of creation. |
| W1:73.3 | Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of Both | together. Would God create a world that kills Himself? |
| W1:79.8 | the problem so that the problem and the answer can be brought | together and we can be at peace. |
| W1:80.4 | that must be ours when the problem and the answer have been brought | together. The problem must be gone because God's answer cannot fail. |
| W1:82.2 | in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, | together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world that it may be |
| W1:85.2 | me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go | together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, |
| W1:90.5 | That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer | together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. |
| W1:91.1 | It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go | together. This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a |
| W1:95.2 | into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held | together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It |
| W1:108.4 | appears to be in second place. Here it is understood that both occur | together, that the thought remain complete. And in this understanding |
| W1:109.11 | We rest | together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give |
| W1:127.7 | Let us | together, then, be glad to give some time to God today and understand |
| W1:131.17 | all your searching here and all the seeking of the world, which ends | together as you pass beyond the door. |
| W1:137.16 | of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come | together to make well all that was sick and offer blessing where |
| W1:R5.8 | the road by which all fears and doubts are overcome. We walk | together. I must understand uncertainty and pain, although I know |
| W1:R5.10 | Who sees your bitter need and knows the answer God has given Him. | Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our time and |
| W1:R5.10 | the answer God has given Him. Together we review these thoughts. | Together we devote our time and effort to them. And together we will |
| W1:R5.10 | these thoughts. Together we devote our time and effort to them. And | together we will teach them to our brothers. God would not have |
| W1:R5.10 | am incomplete without your part in me. And as I am made whole, we go | together to our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and |
| W1:R5.11 | The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we go | together. Take your brother's hand, for this is not a way we walk |
| W1:187.10 | altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand | together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; |
| W1:192.8 | while he imprisons anyone? A jailer is not free, for he is bound | together with his prisoner. He must be sure that he does not escape, |
| W2:I.8 | start upon the final part of this one holy year which we have spent | together in the search for truth and God, Who is its one Creator. We |
| 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. |
| W2:225.2 | find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace | together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never leave |
| W2:WS.4 | Let us come daily to this holy place and spend a while | together. Here we share our final dream. It is a dream in which there |
| W2:WS.4 | being born again in new perception. Night has gone, and we have come | together in the light. |
| W2:233.2 | Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk | together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This |
| W2:263.2 | seem pure to us that we may pass them by in innocence and walk | together to our Father's house as brothers and the holy Sons of God. |
| W2:271.1 | Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they come | together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the |
| W2:295.1 | am saved, the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed | together. Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one. |
| W2:299.1 | my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our will | together understands it. And our will together knows that it is so. |
| W2:299.1 | my holiness as His. Our will together understands it. And our will | together knows that it is so. |
| W2:WISC.5 | your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do God's Will and join | together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and |
| W2:310.2 | We spend this day | together, you and I. And all the world joins with us in our song of |
| W2:324.2 | and we cannot stray except an instant from His loving hand. We walk | together, for we follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending sure |
| W2:WAI.2 | over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God | together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. And |
| W2:WAI.4 | of God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds which join | together as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have |
| W2:FL.2 | already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us | together follow in this way that truth points out to us. And let us |
| M:2.4 | seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem to come | together in the present, finding each other as if they had not met |
| M:2.5 | When pupil and teacher come | together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the teacher is |
| M:2.5 | one who does the teaching. God's Teacher speaks to any two who join | together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of |
| M:3.1 | no accidents in salvation. Those who are to meet will meet, because | together they have the potential for a holy relationship. They are |
| M:3.2 | into an adult “by accident,” two students who happen to walk home | together. These are not chance encounters. Each of them has the |

| Tx:1.34 | The disciples were specifically | told to be physicians of the Lord and to heal others. They were also |
| Tx:1.34 | told to be physicians of the Lord and to heal others. They were also | told to heal themselves and were promised that I would never leave |
| Tx:1.89 | You never really wanted peace before, so there was no point in being | told how to achieve it. No learning is acquired by anyone unless he |

| Tx:4.71 | to be its home. Here is where the mind becomes actually dazed. Being | told by the ego that it is really part of the body and that the body |
| Tx:4.89 | decisions because my will is never out of accord with His. I have | told you before that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. This is |
| Tx:5.1 | To heal is to make happy. I have | told you before to think how many opportunities you have to gladden |

| Tx:3.30 | therefore subject to fear or love. Misperceptions produce fear, and | true perceptions produce love. Neither produces certainty, because |
| Tx:3.31 | True perception is the basis for knowledge, but knowing is the | |
| Tx:3.40 | into himself. He became a perceiver rather than a creator in the | true sense. Consciousness is correctly identified as the domain of |
| Tx:3.49 | perception induces sane choosing. The Atonement was an act based on | true perception. I cannot choose for you, but I can help you make |
| Tx:3.52 | Anything that is made is made for a specific purpose and has no | true generalizability. When you make something to fill a perceived |
| Tx:3.58 | becomes impossible. Truth can only be known. All of it is equally | true, and knowing any part of it is to know all of it. Only |
| Tx:3.62 | the belief that what he judged against has no effect. This cannot be | true unless he also believes that what he judged against does not |
| Tx:3.67 | because He knows that it makes them unhappy. Souls were given their | true Authorship, but men preferred to be anonymous when they chose to |
| Tx:3.67 | has been used for great cruelty because, being uncertain of their | true Authorship, men believe that their creation was anonymous. This |
| Tx:3.68 | they created themselves. At least it acknowledges the fact that some | true authorship is necessary for existence. |
| Tx:3.77 | but he cannot do more than believe it. He cannot make it | true. And, as we said before, when you finally perceive correctly, |
| Tx:3.80 | cut off and will wither away. Be glad! The light will shine from the | true Foundation of Life, and your own thought system will stand |
| Tx:4.9 | you how their thought system[s] arose. When I remind you of your | true creation, your egos cannot but respond with fear. |
| Tx:4.28 | must be perceived as painful, even though this is anything but | true. Babies scream in rage if you take away a knife or a scissors, |
| Tx:4.32 | representing the ego's need to confirm itself. This is as | true of bodily appetites as it is of the so-called “higher” ego |
| Tx:4.38 | A hypothesis is either false or | true, to be accepted or rejected accordingly. If it is shown to be |
| Tx:4.38 | true, to be accepted or rejected accordingly. If it is shown to be | true, it becomes a fact, after which no one attempts to evaluate it |
| Tx:4.47 | own Guide and therefore need guidance. My role is to separate the | true from the false in your unconscious so it can break through the |
| Tx:4.52 | you have made, but I will neither honor it nor love it unless it is | true. |
| Tx:4.55 | mind. Who but the insane would undertake to believe what is not | true and then protect this belief at the cost of truth? |
| Tx:4.65 | but say, “I will not look there because I know these images are not | true.” Then let the Holy One shine on you in peace, knowing that this |
| Tx:4.82 | Immortality is a constant state. It is as | true now as it ever was or ever will be because it implies no change |
| Tx:4.91 | to insist on a “collaborative venture.” This does not go against the | true spirit of meditation; it is inherent in it. Meditation is a |
| Tx:4.96 | contrast the Soul reacts in the same way to everything it knows is | true and does not respond at all to anything else. Nor does it make |
| Tx:4.96 | to anything else. Nor does it make any attempt to establish what is | true. It knows that what is true is everything that God created. It |
| Tx:4.96 | it make any attempt to establish what is true. It knows that what is | true is everything that God created. It is in complete and direct |
| Tx:4.105 | is in great need of rehabilitation itself. All symptoms of hurt need | true helpfulness, and whenever they are met with this, the mind that |
| Tx:5.27 | made by giving and is therefore the one act of mind that resembles | true creation. You understand the role of “models” in the learning |
| Tx:5.36 | reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions, because | true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:5.46 | not mean that you can safely fail to acknowledge anything that is | true. However, the Holy Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret |
| Tx:5.46 | you perceive as fearful and teach you that only what is loving is | true. Truth is beyond your ability to destroy but entirely within |
| Tx:5.79 | and remember also that we said, “Do not look there.” It is still | true that “where you look to find yourself is up to you.” The Higher |
| Tx:6.10 | what is already in them. God placed it there Himself, and so it is | true forever. I believed in it and therefore made it forever true for |
| Tx:6.10 | it is true forever. I believed in it and therefore made it forever | true for me. Help me to teach it to our brothers in the name of the |
| Tx:6.10 | in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it is | true for you, or you will teach amiss. |
| Tx:6.15 | of the Holy Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show this was | true in a very extreme case merely because it would serve as a good |
| Tx:6.30 | is total inclusion. You cannot change it now or ever. It is forever | true. It is not a belief but a fact. Anything that God create[s] is |
| Tx:6.30 | It is not a belief but a fact. Anything that God create[s] is as | true as He is. Its truth lies only in its perfect inclusion in Him, |
| Tx:6.33 | the mind of the thinker from which they [extend] outward. This is as | true of God's thinking as it is of yours. Because your minds are |
| Tx:6.34 | He uses everything for good, but He does not believe in what is not | true. Since the Holy Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be |
| Tx:6.34 | in your minds, your minds must also be able to believe only what is | true. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for |
| Tx:6.36 | only the Holy Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is | true in your mind and extends outward only to what is true in other |
| Tx:6.36 | only what is true in your mind and extends outward only to what is | true in other minds. |
| Tx:6.40 | it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and learn what is not | true. From this, which you have made, you have taught yourselves to |
| Tx:6.41 | it can you learn it. “As you teach, so will you learn.” If that is | true, and it is true indeed, you must never forget that what you |
| Tx:6.41 | it. “As you teach, so will you learn.” If that is true, and it is | true indeed, you must never forget that what you teach is teaching |
| Tx:6.51 | will have great reality for you, because they are beautiful and | true. In the Kingdom, where you are and what you are is perfectly |
| Tx:6.52 | You are as certain as God because you are as | true as He is, but what was once quite certain in your minds has |
| Tx:6.53 | Abilities must be developed, or you cannot use them. This is not | true of anything that God created, but it is the kindest solution |
| Tx:6.55 | to other laws is also possible, however, not because the laws are | true, but because you made them. What would be gained if God proved |
| Tx:6.57 | because you had already taught wrongly, having believed what was not | true. You did not believe in your own perfection. Could God teach you |
| Tx:6.59 | from harm so much as what you need to learn to have joy. This is | true even of the world's teachers. Consider the confusion a child |
| Tx:6.71 | on what you believe you are. If the center of the thought system is | true, only truth extends from it. But if a lie is at its center, only |
| Tx:6.73 | is being taught to react to both as if what he does believe is not | true. |
| Tx:6.76 | There can be no conflict between sanity and insanity. Only one is | true, and therefore only one is real. The ego tries to persuade you |
| Tx:6.76 | tries to persuade 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, |
| Tx:6.82 | would share it. In your mind, and your mind only, He sorts out the | true from the false and teaches you to judge every thought that you |
| Tx:6.95 | exerted great effort to preserve what you made because it was not | true. Therefore, you must now turn your effort against it. Only this |
| Tx:6.95 | are. This recognition is wholly without effort since it is already | true and needs no protection. It is in the perfect safety of God. |
| Tx:7.6 | last step in the reawakening of knowledge is taken by God. This is | true, but it is hard to explain in words because words are symbols, |
| Tx:7.6 | to explain in words because words are symbols, and nothing that is | true needs to be explained. However, the Holy Spirit has the task of |
| Tx:7.7 | created. The “last step” that God [was said to] take was therefore | true in the beginning, is true now, and will be true forever. |
| Tx:7.7 | that God [was said to] take was therefore true in the beginning, is | true now, and will be true forever. |
| Tx:7.7 | take was therefore true in the beginning, is true now, and will be | true forever. |
| Tx:7.11 | underlies the defense of freedom is perfectly valid. Because it is | true, it should not be fought for, but it should be sided with. |
| Tx:7.12 | freedom believe that its outcome will hurt them, which cannot be | true. But those who are for freedom, even if they are misguided in |
| Tx:7.12 | defend it, are siding with the one thing in this world which is | true. Whenever anyone can listen fairly to both sides of any issue, |
| Tx:7.19 | be used theoretically, but it has no application practically. It is | true that if you put three apples on the table and then take them |
| Tx:7.19 | then take them away, the three apples are not there. But it is not | true that the table is now minus three apples. If there is nothing on |
| Tx:7.20 | and you must assume the former, because if the latter were | true, the subject would not do anything. Given variable motivation, |
| Tx:7.28 | are possible, and therefore you have accepted the impossible as | true. How is that different from saying that you are perceiving |
| Tx:7.29 | on it. As long as you believe that you can attend to what is not | true, you are accepting conflict as your choice. Is it really a |
| Tx:7.32 | is also a science, because it obeys the laws of God, Whose laws are | true. Because they are true, they are perfectly dependable and |
| Tx:7.32 | it obeys the laws of God, Whose laws are true. Because they are | true, they are perfectly dependable and therefore universal in |
| Tx:7.52 | are you who perceive only this, because you perceive only what is | true. Come therefore unto me and learn of the truth in you. The mind |
| Tx:7.53 | it is acceptable to Him and therefore to His Sons. This is the | true communion of the Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone |
| Tx:7.61 | place at all in peace. It is necessary against beliefs which are not | true and would never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you |
| Tx:7.61 | You cannot deny that, when you believe something, you have made it | true for you. |
| Tx:7.63 | ego wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not | true. If truth is total, the untrue cannot exist. Commitment to |
| Tx:7.63 | requires vigilance only as long as you do not recognize what is | true.] While you believe that two totally contradictory thought |
| Tx:7.64 | ego believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not | true. The ego therefore is totally committed to untruth, perceiving |
| Tx:7.82 | said that without projection there can be no anger, but it is also | true that without projection there can be no love. Projection is a |
| Tx:7.89 | beyond belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His perception is | true. The ego can be completely forgotten at any time, because it was |
| Tx:7.90 | be alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation and affirming your | true identification with the whole Kingdom as literally part of you. |
| Tx:7.95 | to add to reality, but no one would claim that what it adds is | true. Insanity is therefore the non-extension of truth, which blocks |
| Tx:7.97 | which belong 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 |
| Tx:7.97 | what you do not know. That is true in a sense, but no more | true than your failure to acknowledge the whole result of the ego's |
| Tx:7.100 | it. The problem is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is | true, but whether you want to listen to what He says. |
| Tx:8.23 | has accepted. Wrong decisions have no power because they are not | true. The imprisonment which they seem to produce is no more true |
| Tx:8.23 | are not true. The imprisonment which they seem to produce is no more | true than they are. |
| Tx:8.32 | Father. This is the only lesson I came to teach, knowing that it is | true. |
| Tx:8.34 | with him. When you imprison yourself, you are losing sight of your | true identification with me and with the Father. Your identification |
| Tx:8.41 | journey because it has none, [and] the journey is the way to what is | true. Leave all deception behind and reach beyond all attempts of the |
| Tx:8.42 | behold it. You cannot behold the world and know God. Only one is | true. |
| Tx:8.43 | I am come to tell you that the choice of which is | true is not yours. If it were, you would have destroyed yourselves. |
| Tx:8.45 | gift which is eternal, and therefore there is no other gift which is | true. |
| Tx:8.63 | as a separate entity cannot but foster illness because it is not | true. A medium of communication will lose its usefulness if it is |
| Tx:8.67 | yourself, but condemnation is not of God. Therefore, it is not | true. No more are any of the results of your condemnation. When you |
| Tx:8.68 | Do not allow yourselves to suffer from the results of what is not | true. Free your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its |
| Tx:8.69 | what it believes a thing is for. This is because it is incapable of | true generalizations and equates what it sees with the function it |
| Tx:8.70 | define the part, but the part does not define the whole. This is as | true of knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to know in part |
| Tx:8.75 | It is still | true that the body has no function of itself, because it is not an |
| Tx:8.75 | however, establishes it as an end because as such it will lose its | true function. This is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its |
| Tx:8.75 | premises on which the ego's interpretation of the body rests are | true. Specifically, these are that the body is for attack and that |
| Tx:8.76 | considering them. The function of truth is to collect data which are | true. There is no point in trying to make sense out of meaningless |
| Tx:8.77 | know anything, we said the one thing about the ego that is wholly | true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is being and the ego has |
| Tx:8.78 | the distorting power of something you want, even if it is not | true? You have had many instances of how what you want can distort |
| Tx:8.84 | His function is to distinguish only between the false and the | true, replacing the false with the true. |
| Tx:8.84 | only between the false and the true, replacing the false with the | true. |
| Tx:8.93 | you. When we said that the Holy Spirit's function is to sort out the | true from the false in your unconscious, we meant that He has the |
| Tx:8.98 | abandonment or retaliation. Many people seek both, but it is still | true that they do not want them. Can you ask the Holy Spirit for |
| Tx:8.107 | has experienced what appears to be failure. This is not only | true in connection with specific things which might be harmful but |
| Tx:8.109 | The Bible emphasizes that all prayers are answered, and this must be | true if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the |
| Tx:8.109 | yet heard. I assure you that they are waiting for you. It is indeed | true that no effort is wasted. |
| Tx:8.110 | the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are | true because of the truth which is in him. You will unite with the |
| Tx:8.110 | in him. You will unite with the truth in him, and his words will be | true. As you hear him, you will hear me. Listening to truth is the |
| Tx:8.111 | which does know. This light can shine into yours, making his words | true and making you able to hear them. His words are the Holy |
| Tx:9.3 | because the Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be | true if there is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy |
| Tx:9.9 | upon it, for you will believe what your perception holds. Accept as | true only what your brother is if you would know yourself. Perceive |
| Tx:9.17 | It is not | true that you do not know the guide is insane. You know it because I |
| Tx:9.19 | can be pleasant or fearful, pretty or ugly, but no one calls them | true. Children may believe them, and so for a while the tales are |
| Tx:9.19 | true. Children may believe them, and so for a while the tales are | true for them. Yet when reality dawns, the fantasies are gone. |
| Tx:9.29 | convincing than its words. They will convince you that the words are | true. By following the right Guide you will learn the simplest of all |
| Tx:9.41 | evaluations of yourself in your minds, and they cannot both be | true. You do not yet realize how completely different these |
| Tx:9.44 | ego's thought system merely because He knows its foundation is not | true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. The Holy |
| Tx:9.44 | of where it comes from. If it comes from God, He knows it to be | true. If it does not, He knows that it is meaningless. |
| Tx:9.53 | want the ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the ego because it is | true. Littleness and grandeur cannot co-exist, nor is it possible for |
| Tx:9.54 | because grandeur is truth. Truth does not vacillate; it is always | true. When grandeur slips away from you, you have replaced it with |
| Tx:9.54 | the belief in grandiosity. Yet it must be insane because it is not | true. Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always |
| Tx:9.55 | will not produce miracles and therefore will deprive you of your | true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not obscure nor hidden, but |
| Tx:9.58 | It is an exalted answer because of its Source, but the Source is | true and so is Its answer. Listen and do not question what you hear, |
| Tx:9.80 | I will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it is | true. Your faith in it will make you whole when you have faith in me. |
| Tx:9.96 | you are not of yourselves. If you were, what you have made would be | true, and you could never escape. |
| Tx:9.106 | choice, which is not of God, will remain with you. While this is not | true in eternity, it is true in time, so that while time lasts in |
| Tx:9.106 | God, will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is | true in time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there will be |
| Tx:10.1 | evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize that this must be | true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a partial thought system. Each |
| Tx:10.4 | you. You will not take this journey alone. I will lead you to your | true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the |
| Tx:10.24 | not will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be | true of you because it is not true of Him. Oh, my children, if you |
| Tx:10.24 | And if your will is His, it cannot be true of you because it is not | true of Him. Oh, my children, if you knew what God wills for you, |
| Tx:10.24 | would be complete! And what He wills has happened, for it was always | true. |
| Tx:10.43 | without fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not | true. Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the |
| Tx:10.44 | that their source is not natural, being out of accord with your | true nature. We once said that to will contrary to God is wishful |
| Tx:10.50 | distinguish the possible from the impossible and the false from the | true. According to the ego's teaching, its goal can be accomplished, |
| Tx:10.54 | obvious. If consistent truth is meaningless, inconsistency must be | true if truth has meaning. Holding error clearly in mind and |
| Tx:10.57 | that His Son is unworthy, for nothing can prove that a lie is | true. What you see of His Son through the eyes of the ego is a |
| Tx:10.58 | you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be | true. Every brother has the power to release you if you will to be |
| Tx:10.62 | been accomplished, and it has been accomplished in you. This is as | true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, |
| Tx:10.69 | speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be literally | true, for the eternal are not re-created. To perceive anew is merely |
| Tx:10.70 | both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and the | true and making no distinction between them. |
| Tx:10.71 | confusing illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly | true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is |
| Tx:10.71 | true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is | true. To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to create unlike |
| Tx:10.71 | of being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is | true is like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only |
| Tx:10.73 | salvation because it is the recognition that reality is only what is | true. |
| Tx:10.74 | which, in the end, teaches nothing more than that only reality is | true is necessary. But do you believe it? When you have perceived the |
| Tx:10.74 | will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is | true. |
| Tx:10.75 | you made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the | true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world will |
| Tx:10.76 | meaning of anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is wholly | true. The recognition of this is your firm beginning. You are not |
| Tx:11.1 | believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not | true. But truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth, |
| Tx:11.3 | it requires no effort at all on your part. Every loving thought is | true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help. That is what |
| Tx:11.7 | are meaningless in your divided state, His remain consistently | true. He gives them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt |
| Tx:11.13 | interpreted, attests to your eternal knowledge that union is | true. |
| Tx:11.41 | life. For death is not your Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is | true is the Will of the Father. You pay no price for life, for that |
| Tx:11.69 | there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for opposition are | true, for they attest only to your decision about reality, returning |
| Tx:11.76 | death, remember that I did not die. You will realize that this is | true when you look within and see me. Would I have overcome death for |
| Tx:11.79 | When you made what is not | true visible, what is true became invisible. Yet it cannot be |
| Tx:11.79 | When you made what is not true visible, what is | true became invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the |
| Tx:11.92 | him, for although 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 |
| Tx:11.99 | been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is | true. And being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without |
| Tx:11.99 | upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And being | true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt, attack |
| Tx:12.39 | His sane answer tells you that what you have offered yourself is not | true, but His offering to you has never changed. You who know not |
| Tx:12.50 | upon the present, for it holds the only things that are forever | true. All healing lies within it because its continuity is real. It |
| Tx:12.60 | of one is possible because you have denied the other. Both are not | true, yet either one will seem as real to you as the amount to which |
| Tx:12.63 | you see? All vision starts with the perceiver who judges what is | true and what is false. And what he judges false he does not see. You |
| Tx:12.66 | way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that is wholly | true and wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in time, |
| Tx:12.67 | of nightmares for the happy dreams of love. In these lie your | true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams, |
| Tx:13.5 | is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the | true perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is |
| Tx:13.14 | is the means by which the Holy Spirit can separate the false and the | true, which you have accepted into your minds without distinction. |
| Tx:13.14 | you cannot value one without the other, and guilt has become as | true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of God is |
| Tx:13.16 | of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is | true for you. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the |
| Tx:13.20 | illusion that the source, from which attention is diverted, must be | true and must be fearful, or you would not have displaced the guilt |
| Tx:13.28 | you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is forever | true. In shining peace within you is the perfect purity in which you |
| Tx:13.30 | there is no love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is | true, you will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a |
| Tx:13.38 | the difference for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which must be | true. He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows |
| Tx:13.45 | for you everything you have learned that teaches you what is not | true must be reconciled with truth. This is the reconciliation which |
| Tx:13.46 | you and by you in return. For how can you remember what was never | true or not remember what has always been? It is this reconciliation |
| Tx:13.52 | leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He knows to be | true, you have denied yourself, and He must therefore teach you not |
| Tx:13.55 | can be precious and that you can learn how to make the untrue | true. |
| Tx:13.56 | His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is | true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end |
| Tx:13.56 | are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what is | true and what is not is perfectly apparent, yet you do not see it. |
| Tx:13.57 | this the Holy Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not | true. To these unhappy learners who would teach themselves nothing |
| Tx:13.58 | The truth is | true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything |
| Tx:13.59 | you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be | true. He brings the light of truth into the darkness and lets it |
| Tx:13.60 | When you teach anyone that truth is | true, you learn it with him. And so you learn that what seemed |
| Tx:13.61 | lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation that truth is | true. For what is builded there is true and built on truth. The |
| Tx:13.61 | the firm foundation that truth is true. For what is builded there is | true and built on truth. The universe of learning will open up before |
| Tx:13.62 | from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For truth is | true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple lesson holds |
| Tx:13.63 | in Him with everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when this is | true? |
| Tx:13.68 | they are opposites which cannot be reconciled and cannot both be | true. You are guilty or guiltless, bound or free, happy or unhappy. |
| Tx:13.73 | you because of the concept of decision which led to it. It is not | true that you can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. |
| Tx:13.76 | wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being of Him, it must be | true. Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan which |
| Tx:14.3 | it and thus denied Heaven to itself. Atonement teaches you the | true condition of the Son of God. It does not teach you what you are |
| Tx:14.6 | it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his | true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is |
| Tx:14.19 | Death yields to life simply because destruction is not | true. The light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they |
| Tx:14.22 | out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your | true communication to those who would communicate as truly with you. |
| Tx:14.26 | the unknowing that they know. From their point of view, it is not | true. Yet it is true because God knows it. These are clearly opposite |
| Tx:14.26 | that they know. From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is | true because God knows it. These are clearly opposite viewpoints of |
| Tx:14.39 | in light is not attacked. It merely vanishes because it is not | true. Different realities are meaningless, for reality must be one. |
| Tx:14.47 | you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not | true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The |
| Tx:14.49 | wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this is | true about the thoughts which cross the mind of those who think they |
| Tx:14.54 | defend its lack of content. The fact of union tells them it is not | true. |
| Tx:14.57 | The miracle is the recognition that this is | true. Where there is love, your brother must give it to you because |
| Tx:14.58 | you is but your learning of the false and your attempts to undo the | true. |
| Tx:14.63 | test, as sure as God, by which to recognize if what you learned is | true. If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those |
| Tx:14.63 | that you have learned God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is | true, there are dark lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you |
| Tx:15.24 | at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is | true and constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought and |
| Tx:16.5 | True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You will learn His | |
| Tx:16.14 | you, and so you are unwilling to believe that what has happened is | true. But can you really believe that all that has happened, even |
| Tx:16.16 | His witnesses, who bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is | true, just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that |
| Tx:16.16 | Him is to deny all that you think you know. But it was never | true. What gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying the |
| Tx:16.26 | to strengthen your faith in what you taught. For what you taught is | true. Alone you stand outside your teaching and apart from it. But |
| Tx:16.35 | you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is | true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion |
| Tx:16.36 | Recognize this, for it is | true, and truth must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from |
| Tx:16.45 | and everything here takes a direction exactly opposite of what is | true. In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is the same |
| Tx:16.56 | the simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they are not | true. They but seem to be fearful to the extent to which you fail to |
| Tx:16.56 | you will fail to 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 |
| Tx:16.78 | the holy instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the | true condition of Heaven. |
| Tx:16.81 | Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept our | true relationship with You in which there are no illusions and where |
| Tx:17.5 | you. There is no order in reality because everything there is | true. |
| Tx:17.23 | relationship the Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is | true. You have made the relationship unreal and therefore unholy by |
| Tx:17.25 | never choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but | true or false, and all their attributes come simply from what they |
| Tx:17.25 | come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God are | true. And all that follows from them comes from what they are and is |
| Tx:17.25 | And all that follows from them comes from what they are and is as | true as is the holy Source from which they came. |
| Tx:17.42 | will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be | true. Let us ascend in peace together to the Father by giving Him |
| Tx:17.51 | eternity? For you have chosen but the goal of God from which your | true intent was never absent. |
| Tx:17.60 | closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The | true becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false becomes the |
| Tx:17.77 | believing that the “something else” produced it. This was never | true. For what the “something else” produced was sorrow and |
| Tx:18.15 | conflicting wishes, and therefore they have no concern with what is | true. They are the best example you could have of how perception can |
| Tx:18.19 | It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping dreams come | true. From this you do not awaken. The special relationship] is your |
| Tx:18.44 | Happy dreams come | true, not because they are dreams, but only because they are happy. |
| Tx:18.86 | it. And these messages bear witness to this world, pronouncing it as | true. For you sent forth these messengers to bring this back to you. |
| Tx:19.8 | Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain forever | true, however much you seek to connect them. But illusions are always |
| Tx:19.21 | “holy” concept in the ego's system—lovely and powerful, wholly | true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal. |
| Tx:19.26 | respect and honoring its enormity. [What must be punished must be | true. And what is true must be eternal and will be repeated |
| Tx:19.26 | its enormity. [What must be punished must be true. And what is | true must be eternal and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you |
| Tx:19.30 | your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must accept as | true what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the mind is |
| Tx:19.75 | Hear not its madness, and believe not the impossible is | true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to the goal of |
| Tx:19.83 | purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it | true, would be the final and complete disruption of communication |
| Tx:20.16 | impaired condition are adjustments necessary because they are not | true. Who need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to |
| Tx:20.24 | and you have given it power to adjust the world to make its answer | true. You asked this puff of madness for the meaning of your unholy |
| Tx:20.28 | everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is | true. The untrue He has neither received nor given. |
| Tx:20.54 | The holy relationship reflects the | true relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The |
| Tx:20.54 | in gladness for the holy one of safe return. Here is the way to | true relationships held gently open, through which you walk together, |
| Tx:20.57 | remains with you. Yet what is that to those who have been given one | true relationship beyond the body? Can they be long held back from |
| Tx:20.61 | result of letting the effects of sin be lifted so what was always | true is recognized. To see a sinless body is impossible, for holiness |
| Tx:20.75 | adjusts to sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still is | true that nothing is without. Yet upon nothing are all projections |
| Tx:21.13 | mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being | true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely |
| Tx:21.19 | to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was | true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you will also see |
| Tx:21.54 | you but there, where this same answer is? Your Identity, as much a | true effect of this same Source as is the answer, must therefore be |
| Tx:22.7 | no reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it tells you is not | true. Reason would tell you it cannot be true because you do not |
| Tx:22.7 | what it tells you is not true. Reason would tell you it cannot be | true because you do not understand it. God has no secrets. He does |
| Tx:22.20 | way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what will make it | true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its source. |
| Tx:22.22 | course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly | true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you |
| Tx:22.24 | mind, be different from it, and in opposition to it. If this were | true, thoughts would not be the mind's extensions but its enemies. |
| Tx:22.25 | you made has been your own. Are you not glad to learn it is not | true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the illusions that |
| Tx:22.27 | be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills is | true. Every illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked |
| Tx:22.33 | the wall that stands between you and the truth, is wholly | true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness as if it were a |
| Tx:22.35 | and so they can deceive. You can change form because it is not | true. It could not be reality, because it can be changed. Reason will |
| Tx:22.45 | tell you that they contradict reality. They go against what must be | true. The opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes |
| Tx:22.63 | never both. The only question to be answered to decide which must be | true is whether you are different. From the position of what you |
| Tx:22.63 | experiences more in line with truth to teach you what is natural and | true. |
| Tx:22.65 | truth decide if you be different or the same and teach you which is | true. |
| Tx:23.11 | Could nature possibly establish this and make it | true? Nor is it up to you to say what shall be part of you and what |
| Tx:23.12 | from each other in the belief the one which conquers will be | true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor are they |
| Tx:23.12 | and the truth. Nor are they different from each other. Both are not | true. And so it matters not what form they take. What made them is |
| Tx:23.15 | His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, being as | true and holy as Himself. |
| Tx:23.16 | place where love abides, protecting you from everything that is not | true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything |
| Tx:23.17 | are different. And they do battle only to establish which form is | true. |
| Tx:23.20 | is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and therefore | true. Each one establishes this for himself and makes it true by his |
| Tx:23.20 | therefore true. Each one establishes this for himself and makes it | true by his attack on what another values. And this is justified |
| Tx:23.27 | the fourth 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 |
| Tx:23.32 | this is what it is. What protects madness is the belief that it is | true. It is the function of insanity to take the place of truth. It |
| Tx:23.32 | a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, illusions | true, attack a kindness, hatred love and murder benediction, is the |
| Tx:23.34 | form 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 |
| Tx:23.36 | You would maintain and think it | true that you do not believe these senseless laws nor act upon them. |
| Tx:23.37 | barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is never | true. |
| Tx:23.38 | laws completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are | true. The seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less certain in |
| Tx:23.41 | Is it not | true you do not recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is |
| Tx:23.41 | you do not recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is | true attack in any form will hurt you and will do so just as much as |
| Tx:23.47 | attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly | true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot conflict. |
| Tx:23.48 | different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they both are | true, then must they be the same and indistinguishable from one |
| Tx:24.40 | Specialness, too, 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. |
| Tx:24.40 | you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is | true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for something and |
| Tx:24.64 | given you to see his holiness because it is the truth. And what is | true in him must be as true in you. |
| Tx:24.64 | holiness because it is the truth. And what is true in him must be as | true in you. |
| Tx:24.66 | Only the purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that is | true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is means |
| Tx:24.67 | 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 one here |
| Tx:24.68 | end unite as one, nor does this one have any end at all. All this is | true, and yet it has no meaning to anyone who still retains one |
| Tx:24.69 | It is the outward picture of a wish—an image that you wanted to be | true. |
| Tx:24.70 | that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish come | true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands that |
| Tx:25.14 | Is it not also | true that you have found some hope apart from this—some glimmering, |
| Tx:25.37 | unless the other were the truth, for each attests the other must be | true. |
| Tx:25.52 | at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes as | true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no sense and has |
| Tx:25.52 | cannot be the truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were | true, then every Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one |
| Tx:25.52 | God ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is | true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and |
| Tx:25.53 | thinks, 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. |
| Tx:25.60 | it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were | true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a form |
| Tx:25.61 | beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be impossible if this is | true. This is the rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point |
| Tx:25.67 | of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and perceive it is not | true? It is extremely hard for those who still believe sin meaningful |
| Tx:25.71 | to save? What can Love ask of you who think that all of this is | true? Could He, in justice and in love believe in your confusion you |
| Tx:25.75 | vengeance. You need not perceive in every circumstance that this is | true. Nor need you look to your experience within the world, which is |
| Tx:25.80 | solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be | true because He asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands |
| Tx:26.11 | loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If this were | true, then God would be unfair, sin would be possible, attack be |
| Tx:26.13 | an error. It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not | true. The Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small |
| Tx:26.20 | a limited reality, a partial truth, a segment of the universe made | true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They |
| Tx:26.24 | as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was never | true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be true? |
| Tx:26.24 | was never true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be | true? |
| Tx:26.36 | in another time. In the extreme, he can delude himself that this is | true and pass from mere imagining into belief and into madness, quite |
| Tx:26.41 | of eternity. They come from what is past and gone and hinder not the | true existence of the here and now. The real world is the second part |
| Tx:26.49 | Perception's laws are opposite to truth, and what is | true of knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet |
| Tx:26.49 | laws are opposite to truth, and what is true of knowledge is not | true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to |
| Tx:26.50 | reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of truth forever will be | true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as upside-down. And this |
| Tx:26.51 | help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more | true than others, although this clearly makes no sense at all. All |
| Tx:26.51 | and are false. Your preference gives them no reality. Not one is | true in any way, and all must yield with equal ease to what God gave |
| Tx:26.52 | can be expected but can not establish that the picture must be | true. |
| Tx:26.53 | meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make it | true. Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them |
| Tx:26.56 | Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is | true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a |
| Tx:26.56 | perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be | true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little |
| Tx:26.56 | and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that truth be | true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds |
| Tx:26.60 | are one, not separate. God wills you learn what always has been | true—that He created you as part of Him, and this must still be |
| Tx:26.60 | true—that He created you as part of Him, and this must still be | true because ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law— |
| Tx:26.60 | conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes away. This is as | true of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind |
| Tx:26.60 | to believe ideas can leave their source is to invite illusions to be | true, without success. For never will success be possible in trying |
| Tx:26.67 | can make no change at all. But it can make what always has been | true be recognized by those who know it not. And by this little gift |
| Tx:27.6 | is his comfort and his health because it proves illusions are not | true. |
| Tx:27.9 | sin will end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were | true, there would be reason to remain content to seek for passing |
| Tx:27.15 | forgive their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom | true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin |
| Tx:27.32 | beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet | true undoing must be kind. And so the first replacement for your |
| Tx:27.39 | but one question. It is this: “Of these illusions, which of them are | true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can bring |
| Tx:27.39 | prefer? That is the one which you should choose. The others are not | true. What can the body get that you would want the most of all? It |
| Tx:27.56 | or that, but nothing more, you choose. You do not make a witness | true because you called him by truth's name. The truth is found in |
| Tx:27.59 | forgives because it stands for what is past forgiveness and is | true. How foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by |
| Tx:27.80 | and events which it contrives. That this is all the body does is | true, for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in |
| Tx:27.86 | unto yourself. No matter what the form of the attack, this still is | true. Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this |
| Tx:27.86 | to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still | true. For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew |
| Tx:27.90 | is impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they both be | true. This is the only secret yet to learn. And it will be no secret |
| Tx:28.22 | The miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its content is not | true. This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. No one is |
| Tx:28.64 | be apart. Yet all it means is that you tried to keep a promise to be | true to faithlessness. Yet faithlessness is sickness. It is like the |
| Tx:29.25 | can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not | true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, |
| Tx:30.49 | made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and what is | true. And you attack them for the things you think they represent. |
| Tx:30.76 | It must be | true the miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal. |
| Tx:30.76 | cannot be to judge which forms are real and which appearances are | true. If one appearance must remain apart from healing, one illusion |
| Tx:30.82 | meaning. For it cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is | true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose, |
| Tx:31.1 | How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never | true is not true now and never will be. The impossible has not |
| Tx:31.1 | How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not | true now and never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can |
| Tx:31.1 | that is all. Can this be hard to learn by anyone who wants it to be | true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make such an easy lesson |
| Tx:31.1 | lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be | true, and what is true cannot be false? You can no longer say that |
| Tx:31.1 | How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be true, and what is | true cannot be false? You can no longer say that you perceive no |
| Tx:31.1 | You can no longer say that you perceive no differences in false and | true. You have been told exactly how to tell one from the other and |
| Tx:31.5 | before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not | true, too hard to learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to |
| Tx:31.5 | to learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really | true. Yet you will learn them, for their learning is the only purpose |
| Tx:31.14 | be made each time you think you must decide on anything. Neither is | true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both before you |
| Tx:31.22 | come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were never | true. |
| Tx:31.35 | greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go beyond it. It is | true indeed there is no choice at all within the world. But this is |
| Tx:31.49 | exist. They are not given, and they must be made. Not one of them is | true, and many come from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and |
| Tx:31.53 | kept in darkness is that in the light the one who would not think it | true is you. And what would happen to the world you know if all its |
| Tx:31.62 | decide in this determines all you see and think is real and hold as | true. On this one choice does all your world depend, for here have |
| Tx:31.65 | you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever | true. It matters not where you believe you are nor what you think the |
| Tx:31.75 | Behold your role within the universe! To every part of | true creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all salvation |
| W1:I.5 | their use which will give them meaning to you and show you they are | true. Remember only this—you need not believe them, you need not |
| W1:5.1 | of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not | true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form |
| W1:7.10 | Look about you. This is equally | true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea |
| W1:8.2 | The only wholly | true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To |
| W1:15.3 | eyes at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize | true perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These |
| W1:16.1 | Thoughts are not big or little, powerful or weak. They are merely | true or false. Those which are true create their own likeness. Those |
| W1:16.1 | powerful or weak. They are merely true or false. Those which are | true create their own likeness. Those which are false make theirs. |
| W1:17.8 | is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really | true and therefore really happy. |
| W1:19.2 | resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be | true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible |
| W1:27.1 | today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly | true a little nearer. |
| W1:27.7 | how often will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be | true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. |
| W1:35.5 | matter. Illusions have no direction in reality. They are merely not | true. |
| W1:37.1 | This idea contains the first glimmerings of your | true function in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to |
| W1:48.1 | it is very difficult to recognize for those who want illusions to be | true. |
| W1:51.6 | trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them | true. I make all things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified |
| W1:54.2 | eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be neither | true nor false. They must be one or the other. What I see shows me |
| W1:61.3 | True humility requires that you accept today's idea because it is | |
| W1:61.3 | accept today's idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is | true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on |
| W1:62.8 | these words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are | true. Should your attention wander, repeat the idea and add: |
| W1:65.9 | On this clean slate, let my | true function be written for me. |
| W1:66.10 | or is made by the ego which you have made to replace Him. Which is | true? Unless God gave your function to you, it must be the gift of |
| W1:66.13 | on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the truth is | true. |
| W1:72.15 | We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be | true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your confidence wane |
| W1:74.2 | for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is wholly | true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without illusions, |
| W1:75.9 | 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 with Him. Wait |
| W1:77.1 | Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your | true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate today. |
| W1:78.8 | on him a different way and see our savior shining in the light of | true forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God |
| W1:87.2 | only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of | true perception. |
| W1:91.6 | Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of | true cause and effect relationships: |
| W1:93.1 | from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is | true about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror |
| W1:93.2 | dreams and have bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is | true by what you now believe. |
| W1:93.6 | God. Over and over this must be repeated until it is accepted. It is | true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor |
| 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 your One |
| W1:93.17 | to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is | true indeed. |
| W1:94.2 | True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as | |
| W1:95.12 | This is the truth, and nothing else is | true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the |
| W1:95.12 | reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is | true. Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, given to |
| W1:95.16 | and one goal—to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that | true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. |
| W1:97.11 | words He offers you today, and let Him tell your mind that they are | true. |
| W1:98.11 | 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 function |
| W1:99.5 | separation, and on loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be | true—God still is Love, and this is not His Will. |
| W1:99.16 | and fear forever from your mind. If you are tempted to believe them | true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the truth these |

| W1:103.6 | day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly | true: |
| W1:105.5 | True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, | |
| W1:105.10 | a while, and let His Voice assure you that the words you speak are | true. |
| W1:106.4 | those you ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are | true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream |
| W1:108.1 | conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is wholly | true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will |

| W1:110.1 | would be enough to save you and the world if you believed that it is | true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself |
| W1:122.15 | Forgiveness offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as | true. Today I have received the gifts of God. |
| W1:123.4 | today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be our | true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with |
| W1:125.9 | It, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and | true. |
| W1:126.3 | one unworthy of the gift because his sins have lowered him beneath a | true equality with you. He has no claim on your forgiveness. It holds |
| W1:126.5 | If this be | true, forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and |
| W1:126.7 | as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and | true forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the |
| W1:126.12 | I give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is | true is with me now. And I will trust in Him. |
| W1:128.1 | to bitter ashes of despair. No one but must accept this thought as | true, if he would leave this world behind and soar beyond its petty |
| W1:128.3 | worth from you, and add another bar across the door that leads to | true awareness of your Self. |
| W1:130.11 | the limits on your choice. The unreal or the real, the false or | true is what you see, and only what you see. Perception is consistent |
| W1:131.10 | foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to | true ideas instead. |
| W1:131.11 | the real world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with | true ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no |
| W1:131.14 | well which are compatible with such a world and which you think are | true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where |
| W1:132.9 | Today's idea is | true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed your own |
| W1:134.2 | when you can accept the fact that pardon is not asked for what is | true. It must be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to |
| W1:134.3 | in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an illusion | true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the idea of |
| W1:134.4 | 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 really |
| W1:134.9 | Now are you free to follow in the way your | true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has received |
| W1:134.9 | is open to yourself. There is a very simple way to find the door to | true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel |
| W1:134.14 | Today we practice | true forgiveness that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we |
| W1:135.13 | until it recognizes this is so. But when it has accepted this as | true, then is it healed and lets the body go. |
| W1:136.6 | fragments of the whole, assembles them without regard to all their | true relationships, and thus constructs illusions of a whole which is |
| W1:137.4 | that lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is | true. The separation sickness would impose has never really happened. |
| W1:138.2 | as the relinquishment of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what is | true in God's creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in |
| W1:138.4 | one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is | true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose |
| W1:139.6 | share its madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is | true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose |
| W1:139.6 | that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world believes is | true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where those who |
| W1:140.9 | others. All of them are false and can be cured because they are not | true. |
| W1:R4.4 | blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever | true. |
| W1:R4.5 | with some understanding of the many forms in which the lack of | true forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are |
| W1:152.2 | You may believe that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be | true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of |
| W1:152.3 | Salvation is the recognition that the truth is | true and nothing else is true. This you have heard before, but may |
| W1:152.3 | is the recognition that the truth is true and nothing else is | true. This you have heard before, but may not yet accept both parts |
| W1:152.3 | second has no meaning, but without the second is the first no longer | true. Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said |
| W1:152.3 | This cannot be too often said and thought about. For if what is not | true is true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, |
| W1:152.3 | be too often said and thought about. For if what is not true is | true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and truth |
| W1:152.3 | thought about. For if what is not true is true as well as what is | true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. |
| W1:152.3 | is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth is | true, and what is false is false. |
| W1:152.9 | Today we practice | true humility, abandoning the false pretense by which the ego seeks |
| W1:152.10 | guilty and afraid, ashamed of what we are. And we lift our hearts in | true humility instead to Him Who has created us immaculate, like to |
| W1:152.11 | we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only truth is | true. |
| W1:153.8 | We will not play such childish games today. For our | true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for |
| W1:153.14 | tale. God's Son can smile at last on learning that it is not | true. |
| W1:153.18 | Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where you will walk in | true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes with you. |
| W1:154.11 | And He needs our will united with His own, that we may be the | true receivers of the gifts He gives. |
| W1:154.15 | recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy words are | true. They are the message sent to us today from our Creator. Now we |
| W1:156.1 | mentioned in the text—ideas leave not their source. If this be | true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world |
| W1:156.2 | in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum. Truth must be | true throughout if it be true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in |
| W1:156.2 | we present in our curriculum. Truth must be true throughout if it be | true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in |
| W1:158.11 | that is not of time. Yet time has still one gift to give in which | true knowledge is reflected in a way so accurate its image shares its |
| W1:161.5 | symbols can stand for the meaningless. Love needs no symbols, being | true. But fear attaches to specifics, being false. |
| W1:163.6 | if we be sane; what contradicts one thought entirely cannot be | true unless its opposite is proven false. |
| W1:164.5 | balance righted and the scales of judgment left to Him Who judges | true. And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence |
| W1:166.2 | upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and | true believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in |
| W1:169.1 | learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for | true acceptance. Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have |
| W1:R5.4 | of this thought or helps it be more meaningful, more personal and | true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share and now prepare |
| W1:R5.14 | finished this review, we will have recognized the words we speak are | true. |
| W1:181.9 | is all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of | true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love |
| W1:182.1 | is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is | true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place |
| W1:184.3 | is given meaning and will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of | true effects with consequence inherent in itself. |
| W1:184.6 | is there. It can be seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is | true is but illusion, for it is the ultimate reality. To question it |
| W1:184.8 | Think not you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is | true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a |
| W1:184.8 | you call upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His | true Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. |
| W1:184.9 | world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where | true communication can be found. |
| W1:184.10 | Identity Which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is | true. And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, |
| W1:186.1 | day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of | true humility which holds no function as your own but that which has |
| W1:186.5 | to be released from the imprisonment your plan to prove the false is | true has brought to you. Accept the plan you did not make instead. |
| W1:187.1 | what you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and | true perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts |
| W1:189.6 | Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is | true in us and feel Its all-embracing tenderness, Its Love Which |
| W1:189.7 | about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either | true or false or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy and |
| W1:189.9 | pathway of itself. 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 |
| W1:190.4 | illusions which it shields and tries to demonstrate must still be | true. |
| W1:191.5 | escape, you will return and set it free. For he who can accept his | true Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives |
| W1:193.2 | at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is made | true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it. |
| W1:196.6 | escape? The fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is | true. And he will not perceive its foolishness nor even see that it |
| W1:200.3 | for what you have already must succeed. To ask that what is false be | true can only fail. Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no |
| W1:200.6 | beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are | true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears |
| W1:211.1 | [191] 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 |
| W2:I.9 | are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think illusions | true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of our |
| W2:WF.2 | makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not | true. The mind is closed and will not be released. The thought |
| W2:224.1 | My | true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, |
| W2:228.1 | believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as | true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I |
| W2:228.1 | Word for what I am since He is my Creator and the One Who knows the | true condition of His Son? |
| W2:234.1 | the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly | true today. |
| W2:237.2 | God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my | true Self as well. Amen. |
| W2:240.1 | upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is | true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It |
| W2:WIW.1 | cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of | true forgiveness will the world be seen in quite another light, and |
| W2:WIS.2 | as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is | true. |
| W2:252.2 | Father, You know my | true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken |
| W2:260.2 | Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find our | true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know |
| W2:271.1 | me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is | true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's |
| W2:275.1 | attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more | true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the |
| W2:281.1 | with You can only bless. The thoughts I think with You alone are | true. |
| W2:283.1 | You secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my | true Identity, when You created everything that is? |
| W2:284.1 | and then repeated many times and next to be accepted as but partly | true with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and |
| W2:296.1 | and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are | true. I would be savior to the world I made. For having damned it, I |
| W2:300.2 | and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our | true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for an |
| W2:WISC.1 | the never-lost and re-establishes what is forever and forever | true. It is the invitation to God's Word to take illusion's place, |
| W2:WISC.3 | to the hands of Christ, to be returned to Spirit in the name of | true creation and the Will of God. |
| W2:309.1 | fear to look within because I think I made another will which is not | true and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the |
| W2:309.2 | and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my | true Identity. |
| W2:WILJ.1 | the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false and what is | true has never changed. And this the judgment is in which perception |
| W2:WILJ.1 | perception ends. At first you see a world which has accepted this as | true, projected from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, |
| W2:313.1 | forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His | true perception come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt |
| W2:327.1 | answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my experience that this is | true, and faith in Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that |
| W2:WIE.1 | love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is | true. |
| W2:345.1 | I can give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of | true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You. |
| M:I.2 | systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is | true all the time. From your demonstration, others learn and so do |
| M:4.18 | on trust, for without trust, no one can be generous in the | true sense. To the world, generosity means “giving away” in the sense |
| M:4.19 | These are the things that belong to him. These he can give away in | true generosity, protecting them forever for himself. |
| M:4.20 | in doubt. The time will be as right as is the answer. And this is | true for everything that happens now or in the future. The past as |
| M:4.22 | True faithfulness, however, does not deviate. Being consistent, it is | |
| M:4.22 | His definition of His Son. It is to them that faithfulness in the | true sense is always directed. Toward them it looks, seeking until it |
| M:4.25 | on the curriculum. It is the function of God's teachers to bring | true learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that |
| M:5.7 | Does not this follow of necessity? Place cause and effect in their | true sequence in one respect, and the learning will generalize and |
| M:5.7 | will generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one | true idea has no end nor limit. The final outcome of this lesson is |
| M:5.9 | ask for the right to question what the patient has accepted is | true. As God's messengers, His teachers are the symbols of salvation. |
| M:6.4 | about the gift that makes it truly given. And it is trust that makes | true giving possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy |
| M:8.2 | is recognized as being untrue. The mind therefore seeks to make it | true out of its intensity of desire to have it for itself. Illusions |
| M:8.4 | And having done so, it concludes that the categories must be | true. On this the judgment of all differences rests, because it is on |
| M:10.6 | of it. And now he knows that these things need not be. Not one is | true. For he has given up their cause, and they, which never were but |
| M:11.1 | here, and what He promises can hardly be impossible. But it is | true that the world must be looked at differently if His promises are |
| M:11.2 | whether your judgment or the Word of God is more likely to be | true. For they say different things about the world, and things so |
| M:13.6 | requires sacrifice of all you really hold dear. In one sense that is | true, for you hold dear the things that crucify God's Son. And it is |
| M:14.5 | teach are lessons in which Heaven is reflected. And now sit down in | true humility and realize that all God would have you do, you can do. |
| M:15.3 | on yourself, teacher of God? Do you believe that this is wholly | true? No, not yet, not yet. But this is still your goal—why you are |
| M:15.3 | prepare yourself to hear this judgment and to recognize that it is | true. One instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond |
| M:16.1 | —they do not change at random. Seeing this and understanding it is | true, he rests content. He will be told all that his role should be, |
| M:16.8 | Forget not this is magic and that magic is a sorry substitute for | true assistance. It is not good enough for God's teacher, because it |
| M:16.10 | or only one or none at all. Yet each temptation to accept magic as | true must be abandoned through his recognition not that it is |
| M:17.9 | Cause of everything beyond all fear and thus forever real and always | true. |
| M:18.1 | Correction of a lasting nature—and only this is | true correction—cannot be made until the teacher of God has ceased |
| M:18.5 | him instantly realize that he has made an interpretation that is not | true. Then let him turn within to his Eternal Guide, and let Him |
| M:19.2 | that leads to truth. This becomes possible because, while it is not | true in itself, justice includes nothing that opposes truth. There is |
| M:19.3 | has no place in such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems forever | true. |
| M:20.2 | this thing and all the past. But strangely, it is not a contrast of | true differences. The past just slips away and in its place is |
| M:20.6 | opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His Will yet can be | true. The contrast between His Will and yours but seemed to be |
| M:22.4 | in need of healing. This recognition has no special reference. It is | true of all things that God created. In it are all illusions healed. |

| Tx:10.56 | and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the ego teach | truly when it overlooks truth? Can it perceive what it has denied? |
| Tx:10.89 | understanding which frightens them, and when they learn to perceive | truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they will ask for |
| Tx:11.6 | capable of bringing love into your awareness if you perceive them | truly. And all your sense of strain comes from your attempts not to |
| Tx:11.8 | answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it will be | truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of Christ brings the |
| Tx:11.22 | against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge | truly. He cannot shine away what you keep hidden, for you have not |
| Tx:11.35 | you will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see | truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in peace and |
| Tx:11.35 | you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the world | truly. Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in |
| Tx:11.84 | Nothingness will become invisible, for you will at last have seen | truly. Redeemed perception is easily translated into knowledge, for |

| Tx:12.45 | To perceive | truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness of your |
| Tx:14.22 | offering your true communication to those who would communicate as | truly with you. You speak two languages at once, and this must lead |
| Tx:14.54 | the ego's chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the ego | truly. Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth, the |

| Tx:18.68 | nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a | truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you |

| Tx:19.103 | as God created every living thing and loves it. And he will give it | truly, for it will be both offered and received. |
| Tx:20.6 | Gifts are not made through bodies if they be | truly given and received. For bodies can neither offer nor accept; |
| Tx:22.33 | can sight which stops at nothingness as if it were a solid wall see | truly? It is held back by form, having been made to guarantee that |
| Tx:24.56 | cannot withhold God's blessing from himself nor you who see him | truly. His mistakes can cause delay, which it is given you to take |
| Tx:24.58 | with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your brother | truly. Would you decide against the holiness He sees? |
| 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 Spirit |
| Tx:26.60 | never takes away. This is as true of what is idly wished as what is | truly willed, because the mind can wish to be deceived but cannot |

| Tx:27.42 | An honest answer asks no sacrifice because it answers questions | truly asked. The questions of the world but ask of whom is sacrifice |
| Tx:27.89 | the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson | truly learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. |
| Tx:28.1 | a little while. The miracle but shows the past is gone, and what has | truly gone has no effects. Remembering a cause can but produce |
| Tx:31.67 | Who is unwelcome to the kind in heart? And what could hurt the | truly innocent? Your will be done, you holy Child of God. It does not |

| W1:42.5 | Vision must be possible. God gives | truly; or, |
| W1:46.2 | the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can | truly be called salvation. It is the means by which illusions |
| W1:49.4 | reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are | truly welcome. We are trying to reach God. |

| W1:105.2 | The | truly given gift entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain |
| W1:107.7 | in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that anyone could seek it | truly and would not succeed. |

| W1:152.8 | Let us today be | truly humble and accept what we have made as what it is. The power of |

| W1:185.11 | No one who | truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it. For he merely asks |
| W1:186.11 | certain as the sun's return each morning to dispel the night, your | truly given function stands out clear and wholly unambiguous. There |

| Tx:1.14 | 14. Miracles bear witness to | truth. They are convincing because they arise from conviction. |
| Tx:1.20 | the awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the altar of | truth. This is the recognition that leads to the healing power of the |
| Tx:1.43 | belongs only to the Soul, and the miracle acknowledges only the | truth. It thus dispels man's illusions about himself and puts him in |
| Tx:1.51 | Remember that error cannot really threaten | truth, which can always withstand it. Only the error is really |
| Tx:1.54 | boundaries. As a result, the doer's perceptions are aligned with | truth as God created it. |
| Tx:1.58 | of the “scarcity” fallacy, from which only error can proceed. | Truth is always abundant. Those who perceive and acknowledge that |
| Tx:1.91 | would never have occurred if he had not distorted his perception of | truth and thus perceived himself as lacking. The concept of any sort |
| Tx:1.94 | The psychotic tries to escape by establishing the certain | truth of his own errors. It is most difficult to free him by ordinary |
| Tx:1.94 | by ordinary means because he is more consistent in his own denial of | truth. The miracle, however, makes no such distinctions. It corrects |
| Tx:2.5 | that it is in man's ability to put his own ideas there instead of | truth. |
| Tx:2.16 | among misperceptions. Its sole concern is to distinguish between | truth on the one hand and all kinds of errors on the other. Some |
| Tx:2.22 | Denial of error is a powerful defense of | truth. You will note that we have been shifting the emphasis from the |
| Tx:2.22 | will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it recognizes only | truth. |
| Tx:2.23 | is one of true projection; I can project to you the affirmation of | truth. If you project error to me or to yourself, you are interfering |
| Tx:2.25 | directed only to error, and projection should be reserved only for | truth. You should truly give as you have truly received. The Golden |
| Tx:2.34 | main point to be understood from this section is that you can defend | truth as well as error and, in fact, much better. |
| Tx:2.49 | the right defense, It passes over all others, looking past error to | truth. Because of the real strength of Its vision, It pulls the will |
| Tx:2.65 | confusion of others. The message he then gives to others is the | truth that their minds are similarly constructive and that their |
| Tx:2.73 | you are responsible for what you do but not for what you think. The | truth is that you are responsible for what you think because it is |
| Tx:2.74 | do comes from what you think. You cannot separate yourself from the | truth by “giving” autonomy to behavior. This is controlled by me |
| Tx:2.89 | to the power of thought, they still come nowhere near the | truth. You do not expect to grow when you say it, because you do not |
| Tx:2.92 | the underlying depreciation was too effective for tolerance. The | truth is that there are no “idle” thoughts. All thinking produces |
| Tx:3.7 | miracle is always a denial of this error and an affirmation of the | truth. Only right-mindedness can create in a way that has any real |

| Tx:3.17 | to the partly willing. The Atonement itself radiates nothing but | truth. It therefore epitomizes harmlessness and sheds only blessing. |
| Tx:3.18 | The Resurrection demonstrated that nothing can destroy | truth. Good can withstand any form of evil because light abolishes |
| Tx:3.23 | and only the mind can perceive anything. A pure mind knows the | truth, and this is its strength. It cannot attack the body because it |
| Tx:3.24 | except true perfection belongs. The understanding of the innocent is | truth. That is why their altars are truly radiant. |
| Tx:3.26 | and some [of everything]. This makes everyone really unable to deny | truth totally, even if he generally deceives himself in this |
| Tx:3.28 | The miracle perceives everything as it is. If nothing but the | truth exists (and this is really a redundant statement, because what |
| Tx:3.29 | is true in everything you perceive, you will make it true for you. | Truth overcomes all error. This means that if you perceive truly, you |
| Tx:3.29 | see them as they are, you offer them your own validation of their | truth. This is the healing which the miracle actively fosters. |
| Tx:3.31 | is the basis for knowledge, but knowing is the affirmation of | truth. All your difficulties ultimately stem from the fact that you |
| Tx:3.35 | altar within and is timeless because it is certain. To perceive the | truth is not the same as knowing it. |
| Tx:3.47 | darkness merely by establishing the fact that it is not there. The | truth will always overcome error in this sense. This is not an active |
| Tx:3.48 | remain in surety, and therefore know that no miscreation exists. | Truth cannot deal with unwilling error because it does not will to be |
| Tx:3.55 | knowledge. Knowledge does not require ingenuity. When we say “the | truth shall set you free,” we mean that all this kind of thinking is |
| Tx:3.58 | is nothing but perfect equality? Perception becomes impossible. | Truth can only be known. All of it is equally true, and knowing any |
| Tx:3.60 | have not totally accepted the Atonement and given themselves over to | truth. Perception is a separated state, and a perceiver does need |
| Tx:3.78 | made. But know that this making will surely dissolve in the light of | truth, because its foundation is a lie. |
| Tx:3.79 | cannot be shaken because the light is in it. Your starting point is | truth, and you must return to this beginning. Much has been perceived |
| Tx:3.80 | authority problem meaningful. The world is not left by death but by | truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was |
| Tx:3.80 | problem meaningful. The world is not left by death but by truth, and | truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created and |
| Tx:4.55 | believe what is not true and then protect this belief at the cost of | truth? |
| Tx:4.65 | You are mirrors of | truth in which God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark |
| Tx:5.11 | before of the higher or the “true” perception, which is so close to | truth that God Himself can flow across the little gap. Knowledge is |
| Tx:5.43 | Correct and learn and be open to learning. You have not made | truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:5.43 | and learn and be open to learning. You have not made truth, but | truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy Spirit looks, and |
| Tx:5.46 | perceive as fearful and teach you that only what is loving is true. | Truth is beyond your ability to destroy but entirely within your |
| Tx:6.9 | own salvation. Rather, teach your own perfect immunity, which is the | truth in you, and know that it cannot be assailed. Do not protect it |
| Tx:6.13 | and that is the only way in which I can be perceived as the Way, the | Truth, and the Light. |
| Tx:6.30 | but a fact. Anything that God create[s] is as true as He is. Its | truth lies only in its perfect inclusion in Him, Who alone is |
| Tx:6.43 | of everything the ego believes. This is how you will learn the | truth that will set you free and keep you so, as others learn it of |
| Tx:6.50 | you were asleep and did not know. When you awake, you will see the | truth around you and in you, and you will no longer believe in dreams |
| Tx:6.55 | that you have sinned? If He confronted the self you made with the | truth He created for you, what could you be but afraid? You would |
| Tx:6.71 | believe you are. If the center of the thought system is true, only | truth extends from it. But if a lie is at its center, only deception |
| Tx:6.76 | to decide which voice is true, but the Holy Spirit teaches you that | truth was created by God, and your decision cannot change it. As you |
| Tx:6.82 | to strengthen the Kingdom in you. What is partly in accord with | truth, He accepts and purifies. But what is out of accord entirely, |
| Tx:6.93 | Certainty is of God for you. Vigilance is not necessary for | truth, but it is necessary against illusions. |
| Tx:6.94 | Truth is without illusions and therefore within the Kingdom. | |
| Tx:6.94 | outside the Kingdom is illusion, but you must learn to accept | truth, because you threw it away. You therefore saw yourself as if |
| Tx:7.16 | God's law of Creation in perfect form does not involve the use of | truth to convince His Sons of truth. The extension of truth, which is |
| Tx:7.16 | form does not involve the use of truth to convince His Sons of | truth. The extension of truth, which is the law of the Kingdom, rests |
| Tx:7.16 | the use of truth to convince His Sons of truth. The extension of | truth, which is the law of the Kingdom, rests only on the knowledge |
| Tx:7.16 | which is the law of the Kingdom, rests only on the knowledge of what | truth is. This is your inheritance and requires no learning at all, |
| Tx:7.25 | any situation. Because I am always with you, you are the way and the | truth and the light. You did not make this power, any more than I |
| Tx:7.33 | Truth can only be recognized and need only be recognized. Inspiration | |
| Tx:7.38 | truly, and they can operate only truly since they are the laws of | Truth. But seek this only because you can find nothing else. There is |
| Tx:7.49 | out of fear but which you will never love. The other shows you only | truth, which you will love, because you will understand it. |
| Tx:7.52 | perceive only what is true. Come therefore unto me and learn of the | truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our brothers, and as |
| Tx:7.63 | The ego wants no part of | truth, because the truth is that the ego is not true. If truth is |
| Tx:7.63 | The ego wants no part of truth, because the | truth is that the ego is not true. If truth is total, the untrue |
| Tx:7.63 | no part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not true. If | truth is total, the untrue cannot exist. Commitment to either must be |
| Tx:7.63 | you believe that two totally contradictory thought systems share | truth, your need for vigilance is apparent. Your minds are dividing |
| Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because | truth is beyond belief, and His perception is true. The ego can be |
| Tx:7.91 | it were the part that is being sided against. To the Soul, this is | truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot conceive of any part |
| Tx:7.95 | what it adds is true. Insanity is therefore the non-extension of | truth, which blocks joy because it blocks creation and thus blocks |
| Tx:7.96 | done so. Disobeying God's Will is meaningful only to the insane. In | truth it is impossible. Your self-fullness is as boundless as God's. |
| Tx:7.100 | see a logical outcome depends on the willingness to see it, but its | truth has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's |
| Tx:7.100 | it, but its truth has nothing to do with your willingness at all. | Truth is God's Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. |
| Tx:7.106 | is a lesson in love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in | truth, and by offering truth you are learning the difference between |
| Tx:7.106 | is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by offering | truth you are learning the difference between pain and joy. |
| Tx:7.111 | what He has given you. Nothing is as easy to perceive as | truth. This is the perception which is immediate, clear, and natural. |
| Tx:7.111 | for you. Out of your natural environment, you may well ask, “What is | truth?” since truth is the environment by which and for which you |
| Tx:7.111 | your natural environment, you may well ask, “What is truth?” since | truth is the environment by which and for which you were created. |
| Tx:7.112 | yours and that of God, Who created you. You cannot deny part of | truth. You do not know your creations, because you do not know their |
| Tx:8.35 | It is as bereft as you are. No part of It can be imprisoned if Its | truth is to be known. Can you be separated from your identification |
| Tx:8.35 | is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional believe that | truth will assail them, and so they do not see it, because they |
| Tx:8.35 | and so they do not see it, because they prefer the delusion. Judging | truth as something they do not want, they perceive deception and |
| Tx:8.38 | you only the recognition of His power in you, but in that lies all | truth. As we unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union of God |
| Tx:8.39 | Our union is therefore the way to renounce the ego in yourself. The | truth in both of us is beyond the ego. By willing that, you have gone |
| Tx:8.39 | is beyond the ego. By willing that, you have gone beyond it toward | truth. Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and |
| Tx:8.51 | It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. | Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described, and it cannot |
| Tx:8.51 | it cannot be explained. I can make you aware of the conditions of | truth, but the experience is of God. Together we can meet its |
| Tx:8.51 | the experience is of God. Together we can meet its conditions, but | truth will dawn upon you of itself. |
| Tx:8.56 | you will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use it for | truth, and you will see it truly. Misuse it, and you will |
| Tx:8.76 | meaningless, there is no point in considering them. The function of | truth is to collect data which are true. There is no point in trying |
| Tx:8.78 | willingness to listen until you will not to tolerate anything except | truth. When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit's |
| Tx:8.90 | “threaten” anything except illusions, since reality can only uphold | truth. The very fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is |
| Tx:8.92 | The association of | truth and fear, which would be highly artificial at most, is |
| Tx:8.92 | inappropriate in the minds of those who do not know what | truth is. All that this kind of association means is that you are |
| Tx:8.96 | this gives you the illusion of safety. Yet you cannot be safe from | truth but only in it. Reality is the only safety. Your will is your |
| Tx:8.98 | punishment is inevitable, attempts to teach himself to like it. The | truth is, very simply, that no one wants either abandonment or |
| Tx:8.99 | the recognition that his will and God's are one. In the presence of | truth, there are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In the security of |
| Tx:8.101 | recognize the enormous waste of energy which you expend in denying | truth. What would you say of someone who persisted in attempting the |
| Tx:8.105 | When you feel these things, do not try to look beyond yourself for | truth, for truth can only be within you. Say, therefore, |
| Tx:8.105 | feel these things, do not try to look beyond yourself for truth, for | truth can only be within you. Say, therefore, |
| Tx:8.110 | and doubt your brother? Believe his words are true because of the | truth which is in him. You will unite with the truth in him, and his |
| Tx:8.110 | true because of the truth which is in him. You will unite with the | truth in him, and his words will be true. As you hear him, you will |
| Tx:8.110 | words will be true. As you hear him, you will hear me. Listening to | truth is the only way you can hear it now and finally know it. |
| Tx:8.111 | to you through him. What can so holy a brother tell you except | truth? But are you listening to it? Your brother may not know who he |
| Tx:8.113 | I love you for the | truth in you, as God does. Your deceptions may deceive you, but they |
| Tx:8.113 | in everyone. Do not listen to anything else, or you will not hear | truth. |
| Tx:8.114 | sake of what God gave them. They will answer you if you learn to ask | truth of them. Do not ask for blessings without blessing them, for |
| Tx:8.114 | how blessed you are. By following this way, you are looking for the | truth in you. This is not going beyond yourself but toward yourself. |
| Tx:9.6 | but merely to accept him as he is. His errors do not come from the | truth that is in him, and only this truth is yours. His errors cannot |
| Tx:9.6 | His errors do not come from the truth that is in him, and only this | truth is yours. His errors cannot change this and can have no effect |
| Tx:9.6 | His errors cannot change this and can have no effect at all on the | truth in you. To perceive errors in anyone and to react to them as if |
| Tx:9.7 | attacked yourself. If you would find your way and keep it, see only | truth beside you, for you walk together. The Holy Spirit in you |
| Tx:9.19 | all of us. Only this awareness heals, because it is the awareness of | truth. |
| Tx:9.21 | them make them real? Every healer who searches fantasies for | truth must be unhealed, because he does not know where to look for |
| Tx:9.21 | truth must be unhealed, because he does not know where to look for | truth and therefore does not have the answer to the problem of |
| Tx:9.47 | Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not hear it. The | truth about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of |
| Tx:9.54 | Truth and littleness are denials of each other, because grandeur is | |
| Tx:9.54 | Truth and littleness are denials of each other, because grandeur is | truth. Truth does not vacillate; it is always true. When grandeur |
| Tx:9.54 | and littleness are denials of each other, because grandeur is truth. | Truth does not vacillate; it is always true. When grandeur slips away |
| Tx:9.55 | therefore will deprive you of your true witnesses to your reality. | Truth is not obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you lies in |
| Tx:9.58 | Yet if | truth is indivisible, your evaluation of yourself must be God's. You |
| Tx:9.67 | and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you will want only | truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours. |
| Tx:9.68 | to be fearful, but only because the dissociation was an attack on | truth. You are fearful because you have forgotten. And you have |
| Tx:9.70 | again what has been made but was rejected. The ability to accept | truth in this world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the |
| Tx:9.71 | that the misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack on | truth and truth is God, you will realize why this is always fearful. |
| Tx:9.71 | the misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack on truth and | truth is God, you will realize why this is always fearful. If you |
| Tx:9.77 | forgotten. Your recognition of him as part of God teaches him the | truth about himself, which he is denying. Would you strengthen his |
| Tx:9.86 | let it go. Knowledge cannot dawn on a mind full of illusions because | truth and illusions are irreconcilable. Truth is whole and cannot be |
| Tx:9.86 | full of illusions because truth and illusions are irreconcilable. | Truth is whole and cannot be known by part of a mind. |
| Tx:9.90 | you attempt to interpose between yourself and your reality affect | truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He created |
| Tx:10.17 | it, the better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied | truth, what better witnesses to its reality could you have than those |
| Tx:10.39 | be very calm in doing this, for we are merely looking honestly for | truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be our lesson for a while, for |
| Tx:10.39 | We will undo this error quietly together and then look beyond it to | truth. |
| Tx:10.41 | The ego is fearful to you because you believe this. Yet the | truth is very simple: |
| Tx:10.49 | denied yourself. By believing that you have successfully attacked | truth, you are believing that attack has power. Very simply, then, |
| Tx:10.51 | by identifying with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in | truth. The ego believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But |
| Tx:10.53 | Never forget that the ego believes that power, understanding, and | truth lie in separation, and to establish this belief it must attack. |
| Tx:10.54 | of the Holy Spirit's. The ego focuses on error and overlooks | truth. It makes real every mistake it perceives, and with |
| Tx:10.54 | reasoning concludes that, because of the mistake, consistent | truth must be meaningless. The next step, then, is obvious. If |
| Tx:10.54 | must be meaningless. The next step, then, is obvious. If consistent | truth is meaningless, inconsistency must be true if truth has |
| Tx:10.54 | If consistent truth is meaningless, inconsistency must be true if | truth has meaning. Holding error clearly in mind and protecting what |
| Tx:10.54 | to the next step in its thought system—that error is real, and | truth is error. |
| Tx:10.56 | by it must be deluded. Can the ego teach truly when it overlooks | truth? Can it perceive what it has denied? Its witnesses do attest to |
| Tx:10.57 | must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He will demonstrate its | truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light and behold what He |
| Tx:10.71 | reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you believe in | truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true. To establish your |
| Tx:10.72 | your Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you perceive it. | Truth is not absent here, but it is obscure. You do not know the |
| Tx:10.77 | No one can withhold | truth except from himself. Yet God will not refuse the answer He gave |
| Tx:10.77 | yours but which you did not make, and do not defend yourself against | truth. You made the problem which God has answered. Ask yourselves, |
| Tx:10.83 | Blessed are you who will ask the | truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn that His |
| Tx:10.83 | deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Believe that the | truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's Sons have nothing |
| Tx:10.83 | 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. No one of us |
| Tx:10.89 | truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they will ask for | truth again when they are frightened. It is not the reality of your |
| Tx:10.90 | Would you not exchange your fears for | truth if the exchange is yours for the asking? For if God is not |
| Tx:10.90 | in you, you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet you can learn the | truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as |
| Tx:11.1 | in error, you would have to make it real because it is not true. But | truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth, you do not |
| Tx:11.1 | is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to believe in | truth, you do not have to do anything. Understand that you do not |
| Tx:11.1 | error is to give it power, and having done this, you will overlook | truth. |
| Tx:11.5 | No one with a personal investment is a reliable witness, for | truth to him has become what he wants it to be. If you are unwilling |
| Tx:11.8 | recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in | truth, it will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of |
| Tx:11.9 | the need for escape. The Holy Spirit must still translate it into | truth. If you were left with the fear, having recognized it, you |
| Tx:11.13 | Spirit's interpretation of fear does dispel it, for the awareness of | truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with |
| Tx:11.13 | does the Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into | truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of |
| Tx:11.14 | Miracles are merely the translation of denial into | truth. If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do |
| Tx:11.14 | heal them but which they are denying to themselves. If they knew the | truth about themselves, they could not be sick. The task of the |
| Tx:11.14 | The task of the miracle-worker thus becomes to deny the denial of | truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the truth is in them. Yet, |
| Tx:11.14 | to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the | truth is in them. Yet, having obscured it, the light in another mind |
| Tx:11.21 | deny the denial of perfection is not so difficult as the denial of | truth, and what we can accomplish together must be believed when you |
| Tx:11.35 | your perceptions of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to | truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you will |
| Tx:11.73 | within and see me, it will be because you have decided to manifest | truth. And as you manifest it, you will see it both without and |
| Tx:11.80 | of everything you see. For what you have made invisible is the only | truth, and what you have not heard is the only answer. God would |
| Tx:11.82 | your perception is healed. You have made the invisible the only | truth that this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing |
| Tx:11.82 | much distance you have tried to interpose between your awareness and | truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy |
| Tx:11.97 | 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 being guiltless, he |
| Tx:12.4 | we must look upon calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against | truth, and in its presence the ego is dispelled. |
| Tx:12.5 | In the calm light of | truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified God's |
| Tx:12.8 | the depth of your fear. For you believe that in the presence of | truth you will turn on yourself and destroy yourself. |
| Tx:12.18 | the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You will find this place of | truth as you see it in your brothers, for though they may deceive |
| Tx:12.44 | themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the | truth in them came all the beauty of the world to shine upon them. |
| Tx:12.49 | Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for | truth lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it |
| Tx:12.51 | on you because you called them forth. And they will not deny the | truth in you because you looked for it in them and found it there. |
| Tx:12.56 | laws of love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the | truth in them. The attraction of light must draw you willingly, and |
| Tx:13.16 | See no one, then, as guilty, and you will affirm the | truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every condemnation that you |
| Tx:13.19 | you. He does not value you as you do. He knows Himself and knows the | truth in you. He knows there is no difference, for He knows not of |
| Tx:13.28 | purity in which you were created. Fear not to look upon the lovely | truth in you. Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, |
| Tx:13.40 | find the answer that makes the need for any differences disappear. | Truth comes of its own will unto its own. When you have learned that |
| Tx:13.40 | its own will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to | truth, it will flow lightly over you without a difference of any |
| Tx:13.45 | learned that teaches you what is not true must be reconciled with | truth. This is the reconciliation which the ego would substitute for |
| Tx:13.46 | or not remember what has always been? It is this reconciliation with | truth, and only truth, in which the peace of Heaven lies. |
| Tx:13.46 | what has always been? It is this reconciliation with truth, and only | truth, in which the peace of Heaven lies. |
| Tx:13.47 | the Holy Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for | truth and only truth. |
| Tx:13.47 | teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and only | truth. |
| Tx:13.49 | you would have to do if it had been done unto you? Indirect proof of | truth is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You |
| Tx:13.50 | your thought system is closed off and wholly separated from the | truth. This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the actual |
| Tx:13.51 | but those he made are his beliefs. And it is these, and not the | truth, that he has chosen to defend and love. They will not be taken |
| Tx:13.53 | 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 | begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that | truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in |
| Tx:13.56 | 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 contrast |
| Tx:13.58 | The | truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and |
| Tx:13.58 | it belongs. You will find no deception there but only the simple | truth. And you will love it because you will understand it. |
| Tx:13.59 | Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make | truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth |
| Tx:13.59 | make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of | truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines, |
| Tx:13.60 | When you teach anyone that | truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you learn that what |
| Tx:13.61 | the joyous lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation that | truth is true. For what is builded there is true and built on truth. |
| Tx:13.61 | that truth is true. For what is builded there is true and built on | truth. The universe of learning will open up before you in all its |
| Tx:13.61 | will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With | truth before you, you will not look back. |
| Tx:13.62 | free you from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For | truth is true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple |
| Tx:13.63 | compelling that you will realize it is impossible to deny the simple | truth. For there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is |
| Tx:13.68 | can decide between is fixed because there are no alternatives except | truth and illusion. And there is no overlap between them because they |
| Tx:13.76 | Would you deny the | truth of God's decision and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself |
| Tx:13.86 | is your Atonement. Grant it to him, and you will see the | truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be |
| Tx:13.86 | him, and you will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet | truth is offered first to be received, even as God gave it first to |
| Tx:13.88 | When you have let all that obscured the | truth in your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace |
| Tx:13.91 | awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join together as the | truth in you, making you one with Him. |
| Tx:14.19 | shines guilt away because, when they are brought together, the | truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear. |
| Tx:14.24 | you are. In union, everything that is not real must disappear, for | truth is union. As darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades |
| Tx:14.24 | the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper in the search for | truth. |
| Tx:14.25 | The search for | truth is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes |
| Tx:14.25 | is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with | truth. Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is |
| Tx:14.25 | the honest searching out of everything that interferes with truth. | Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there, |
| Tx:14.25 | of fear on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the | truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in |
| Tx:14.25 | the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding | truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you look at |
| Tx:14.28 | darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will not let it go. | Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack |
| Tx:14.28 | making. God knows it not. The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of | truth only because you made them against it. His perception of them, |
| Tx:14.35 | anything except reality. God's glory and His Son's belong to you in | truth. They have no opposite, and nothing else can you bestow upon |
| Tx:14.36 | There is no substitute for | truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are brought into |
| Tx:14.36 | There is no substitute for truth. And | truth will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place |
| Tx:14.36 | to you as you are brought into the place where you must meet with | truth. And there you must be led, through gentle understanding which |
| Tx:14.36 | can lead you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the | truth. Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God into |
| Tx:14.38 | holiness, or what you made to what you are. The bringing together of | truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only |
| Tx:14.38 | of timelessness lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, | truth was made past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And |
| Tx:14.39 | Bringing the ego to God is but to bring error to | truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite of what |
| Tx:14.40 | Merely by being what it is does | truth release you from everything that it is not. The Atonement is so |
| Tx:14.45 | is no image, and His creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them in | truth. They do not merely reflect truth, for they are truth. |
| Tx:14.45 | part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect | truth, for they are truth. |
| Tx:14.45 | Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect truth, for they are | truth. |
| Tx:14.46 | of Heaven here and bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of | truth draws everyone to truth, and as they enter into it, they leave |
| Tx:14.46 | this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone to | truth, and as they enter into it, they leave all reflections behind. |
| Tx:14.47 | is shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here, its | truth becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, |
| Tx:14.54 | the ego truly. Yet when two or more join together in searching for | truth, the ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of |
| Tx:14.58 | that it must fail you. For power is not a seeming strength, and | truth is beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all that stands between |
| Tx:14.61 | have taught yourselves unto the light in you can hardly judge the | truth and value of this course. Yet God did not abandon you. And so |
| Tx:14.62 | accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be brought willingly to | truth and joyously laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to |
| Tx:15.16 | take time, when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed? | Truth is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it |
| Tx:15.39 | and not on time. The reason why this course is simple is that | truth is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is nothing more than |
| Tx:15.48 | chosen to support the ego, as a learning experience which points to | truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in |
| Tx:15.64 | remembered with Him. For communication is remembered together, as is | truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant because the past is |
| Tx:15.79 | every sign or token of your willingness to learn of Him what the | truth must be. He is swift to utilize whatever you offer Him on |
| Tx:15.91 | union with Him.] The reality of this relationship becomes the only | truth that you could ever want. All truth is here. |
| Tx:15.91 | relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All | truth is here. |
| Tx:16.8 | from each other. That is not the way, for it leads not to light and | truth. No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him |
| Tx:16.11 | There is a tendency to fragment and then to be concerned about the | truth of just a little part of the whole. And this is but a way of |
| Tx:16.15 | accepting it for what it is and giving thanks for it? Honor the | truth that has been given you, and be glad you do not understand it. |
| Tx:16.16 | No evidence will convince you of the | truth of what you do not want. Yet your relationship with Him is real |
| Tx:16.16 | gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying the evidence for | truth? For you have come too near to truth to renounce it now, and |
| Tx:16.16 | it and denying the evidence for truth? For you have come too near to | truth to renounce it now, and you will yield to its compelling |
| Tx:16.20 | your faith in them and not in their denial. This year invest in | truth, and let it work in peace. Have faith in what has faith in you. |
| Tx:16.22 | its witnesses and in avoiding those which spoke for the cause of | truth and its effects. |
| Tx:16.24 | that is really outside yourself, not by your own projection, but in | truth. And it is this that you have taken in that is not you. What |
| Tx:16.24 | but beliefs in what is not there. And the seeming conflict between | truth and illusion can only be resolved by separating yourself from |
| Tx:16.24 | be resolved by separating yourself from the illusion and not from | truth. |
| Tx:16.34 | illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the choice between | truth and illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But |
| Tx:16.36 | Recognize this, for it is true, and | truth must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from illusion: |
| Tx:16.36 | real to you, but which does not exist. You have come very close to | truth, and only this stands between you and the bridge that leads you |
| Tx:16.37 | relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you whole in | truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is without guilt, |
| Tx:16.39 | deprives you of knowledge, for fantasies are the veil behind which | truth is hidden. To lift the veil which seems so dark and heavy, it |
| Tx:16.39 | the veil which seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value | truth beyond all fantasy and to be entirely unwilling to settle for |
| Tx:16.39 | and to be entirely unwilling to settle for illusion in place of | truth. |
| Tx:16.40 | the call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion lies in | truth and nowhere else]. See in the call of hate and in every fantasy |
| Tx:16.41 | Your Father can no more forget the | truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The Holy Spirit is the |
| Tx:16.41 | away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of | truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from truth |
| Tx:16.41 | in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from | truth together, and then together we go straight to God in joyous |
| Tx:16.42 | is no veil the love of God in us together cannot lift. The way to | truth is open. Follow it with me. |
| Tx:16.53 | power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the | truth become to you that unless it is weak and little, [and unworthy |
| Tx:16.53 | the little self which you have made with power you wrested from | truth, triumphing over it and leaving it helpless. See how exactly is |
| Tx:16.56 | you want them to be true. And to the same extent you are denying | truth, and so are making yourself unable to make the simple choice |
| Tx:16.56 | and so are making yourself unable to make the simple choice between | truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you will have |
| Tx:16.57 | a carefully contrived learning experience designed to lead away from | truth and into fantasy. Yet for every learning that would hurt you, |
| Tx:16.57 | not to listen to this course and follow it is but the choice between | truth and illusion. For here is truth separated from illusion and not |
| Tx:16.57 | follow it is but the choice between truth and illusion. For here is | truth separated from illusion and not confused with it at all. |
| Tx:16.67 | has wrought is ugly, fearful, and very dangerous. See no illusion of | truth and beauty there. And be you thankful that there is a place |
| Tx:16.67 | and beauty there. And be you thankful that there is a place where | truth and beauty wait for you. Go on to meet them gladly, and learn |
| Tx:16.75 | Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to | truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in |
| Tx:16.75 | now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. Everything is gone except the | truth. |
| Tx:16.76 | the complete difference in all respects between your experience of | truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy |
| Tx:16.79 | Remember that you always choose between | truth and illusion—between the real Atonement which would heal and |
| Tx:16.80 | God. Praise be to your relationship with Him and to no other. The | truth lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or nothing. |
| Tx:17.2 | ask of you conflicting things. What you use in fantasy, you deny to | truth. Yet what you give to truth to use for you is safe from fantasy. |
| Tx:17.2 | What you use in fantasy, you deny to truth. Yet what you give to | truth to use for you is safe from fantasy. |
| Tx:17.3 | all you mean is that there are some things you would withhold from | truth. You believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you |
| Tx:17.3 | are some things you would withhold from truth. You believe that | truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep them from |
| Tx:17.3 | truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep them from | truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power that heals all |
| Tx:17.4 | teacher and some to another. And so you learn to deal with part of | truth in one way and in another way the other part. To fragment truth |
| Tx:17.4 | of truth in one way and in another way the other part. To fragment | truth is to destroy it by rendering it meaningless. Orders of reality |
| Tx:17.5 | Think you that you can bring | truth to fantasy and learn what truth means from the perspective of |
| Tx:17.5 | Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and learn what | truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has no meaning |
| Tx:17.5 | and learn what truth means from the perspective of illusions? | Truth has no meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its |
| Tx:17.5 | of reference for its meaning must be itself. When you try to bring | truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real and keep |
| Tx:17.5 | them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to | truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal and |
| Tx:17.5 | your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable | truth to teach that the illusions are unreal and thus enable you to |
| Tx:17.5 | thus enable you to escape from them. Reserve not one idea aside from | truth, or you establish orders of reality which must imprison you. |
| Tx:17.6 | Be willing, then, to give all you have held outside the | truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is brought to truth. |
| Tx:17.6 | to give all you have held outside the truth to Him who knows the | truth and in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation |
| Tx:17.6 | the truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is brought to | truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or will be not at |
| Tx:17.6 | just this same attempt. And you are holding both of you away from | truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth |
| Tx:17.6 | from truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to | truth what was denied by both of you. And you will see forgiveness |
| Tx:17.8 | everything has been forgiven, and there are no fantasies to hide the | truth. The bridge between that world and this is so little and so |
| Tx:17.16 | these relationships have as their purpose the exclusion of the | truth about the other and of yourself. This is why you see in both |
| Tx:17.24 | retained and all the rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the | truth the past could ever offer to the present as witnesses for its |
| Tx:17.25 | It is still up to you to choose to be willing to join with | truth or illusion. But remember that to choose one is to let the |
| Tx:17.25 | the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and fear, | truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you |
| Tx:17.26 | through them. They were created to create with you. This is the | truth that I would interpose between you and your goal of madness. Be |
| Tx:17.29 | you have raised their substitutes to such predominance that when | truth calls to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a |
| Tx:17.29 | your minds so completely that you will not hear the call of | truth. In a sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to |
| Tx:17.30 | enabled it to be healed. This blessing holds within itself the | truth about everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in |
| Tx:17.30 | blessing holds within itself the truth about everything. And the | truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close relationship with you |
| Tx:17.36 | That is why the holy instant is so important in the defense of | truth. The truth itself needs no defense, but you do need defense |
| Tx:17.36 | is why the holy instant is so important in the defense of truth. The | truth itself needs no defense, but you do need defense against your |
| Tx:17.36 | against your own acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are | truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with |
| Tx:17.36 | gift of death. When you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to | truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And your defense must now |
| Tx:17.36 | you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten | truth with destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to |
| Tx:17.36 | with destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to keep | truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of |
| Tx:17.55 | You stand together in the holy presence of | truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the |
| Tx:17.60 | approach has brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of | truth and falsity. The true becomes what can be used to meet the |
| Tx:17.61 | The goal of | truth has further practical advantages. If the situation is used for |
| Tx:17.61 | truth has further practical advantages. If the situation is used for | truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace. And this is quite apart |
| Tx:17.61 | quite apart from what the outcome is. If peace is the condition of | truth and sanity and cannot be without them, where peace is they must |
| Tx:17.61 | and sanity and cannot be without them, where peace is they must be. | Truth comes of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the |
| Tx:17.61 | Truth comes of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the | truth has come to you, and you will see the outcome truly, for |
| Tx:17.62 | The goal of | truth requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy |
| Tx:17.62 | Spirit's purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of | truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation |
| Tx:17.63 | that this attempt conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of | truth. And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has |
| Tx:17.63 | goal of truth. And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. | Truth has not come because faith has been denied, being withheld from |
| Tx:17.63 | Thus do you lose the understanding of the situation the goal of | truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of |
| Tx:17.63 | and the illusion of peace is not the condition in which the | truth can enter. |
| Tx:17.65 | the thoughts are judged to be in conflict. But if the goal is | truth, this is impossible. Some idea of bodies must have entered, for |
| Tx:17.66 | not matter. Faithlessness brought to faith will never interfere with | truth. But faithlessness used against truth will always destroy |
| Tx:17.66 | will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against | truth will always destroy faith. If you lack faith, ask that it be |
| Tx:17.69 | The goal of illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to | truth. If you lack faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his |
| Tx:17.69 | and perfectly, his part in any situation dedicated in advance to | truth, your dedication is divided. And so you have been faithless to |
| Tx:17.71 | is. What never was is causeless and is not there to interfere with | truth. There is no cause for faithlessness, but there is a Cause for |
| Tx:17.71 | has entered any situation which shares Its purpose. The light of | truth shines from the center of the situation and touches everyone to |
| Tx:17.72 | you once employed to lead you to illusions transformed to means for | truth. [Truth calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When |
| Tx:17.72 | to means for truth. [Truth calls for faith, and faith makes room for | truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship |
| Tx:17.73 | the Holy Spirit's goal are set apart from loneliness because the | truth has come. Its call for faith is strong. Use not your |
| Tx:17.74 | withheld and left unused, that faith might answer to the call of | truth. The holy instant is the shining example, the clear and |
| 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, do not attack it, do not |
| Tx:17.75 | situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for | truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure |
| Tx:17.76 | faith can no longer be withheld. The strain of refusing faith to | truth is enormous and far greater than you realize. But to answer |
| Tx:17.76 | to truth is enormous and far greater than you realize. But to answer | truth with faith entails no strain at all. |
| Tx:17.77 | was nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to | truth and see its evident reality. |
| Tx:17.79 | When you accepted | truth as the goal for your relationship, you became givers of peace |
| Tx:18.4 | has taken many forms because it was the substitution of illusion for | truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has become so splintered |
| Tx:18.4 | once was one and still is what it was. That one error, which brought | truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you |
| Tx:18.6 | the screen on which it was projected and drawn between you and the | truth. For truth extends inward, where the idea of loss is |
| Tx:18.6 | on which it was projected and drawn between you and the truth. For | truth extends inward, where the idea of loss is meaningless and only |
| Tx:18.6 | backwards and upside-down arose from this? [It was inevitable.] For | truth brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no |
| Tx:18.7 | The | truth will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad world |
| Tx:18.7 | insanity is outside you. You but believe it is the other way; that | truth is outside and error and guilt within. Your little senseless |
| Tx:18.8 | your mad journey outside yourself, leading you gently back to the | truth and safety within. He brings all your insane projections and |
| Tx:18.8 | and your wild substitutions which you have placed outside you to the | truth. Thus He reverses the course of insanity and restores you to |
| Tx:18.9 | of everything at your request, He has set the course inward to the | truth you share. In the mad world outside you, nothing can be shared |
| Tx:18.9 | is holy ground in which no substitution can enter and where only the | truth about each other can abide. Here you are joined in God, as much |
| Tx:18.9 | error has not entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant | truth to which the Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let |
| Tx:18.10 | You are so firmly joined in | truth that only God is there. And He would never accept something |
| Tx:18.11 | entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently brought unto the | truth in you and love has shined upon you, blessing your relationship |
| Tx:18.11 | in you and love has shined upon you, blessing your relationship with | truth. God and His whole creation have entered it together. How |
| Tx:18.11 | it together. How lovely and how holy is your relationship, with the | truth shining upon it! Heaven beholds it and rejoices that you have |
| Tx:18.15 | have of how perception can be utilized to substitute illusions for | truth. You do not take them seriously on awaking because the fact |
| Tx:18.22 | because its purpose 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 |
| Tx:18.22 | you do not see that you have made, at last, the choice between the | truth and all illusions. |
| Tx:18.23 | is sure. This is no dream. Its coming means that you have chosen | truth, and it has come because you have been willing to let your |
| Tx:18.23 | represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the real world and the | truth of Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of waking is |
| Tx:18.24 | You who have spent your lives in bringing | truth to illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. |
| Tx:18.24 | And you sought a blackness so complete that you could hide from | truth forever in complete insanity. What you forgot was simply that |
| Tx:18.25 | light comes nearer, you will rush to darkness, shrinking from the | truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of fear and sometimes |
| Tx:18.25 | But you will advance because your goal is the advance from fear to | truth. You know this. The goal which you accepted is the goal of |
| Tx:18.25 | light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal is light. | Truth has rushed to meet you since you called upon it. |
| Tx:18.28 | separate, for I stand with you and walk with you in your advance to | truth. And where we go, we carry God with us. |
| Tx:18.39 | still convinced your understanding is a powerful contribution to the | truth and makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need |
| Tx:18.41 | of what never was. If you already understood the difference between | truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy |
| Tx:19.1 | We said before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to | truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which |
| Tx:19.1 | faith will never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to | truth as its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith |
| Tx:19.1 | for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to | truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved, for only |
| Tx:19.3 | illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what | truth has never said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by |
| Tx:19.4 | for you have made of it an “enemy” of healing and the opposite of | truth. |
| Tx:19.5 | Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to | truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of |
| Tx:19.5 | illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. | Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the absence of truth. |
| Tx:19.5 | Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the absence of | truth. |
| Tx:19.7 | together, and when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both | truth and illusion in the mind, where both must be, are recognized as |
| Tx:19.7 | recognized as dedication to illusion and given up when brought to | truth and seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any respect or |
| Tx:19.7 | up when brought to truth and seen as totally irreconcilable with | truth in any respect or in any way. |
| Tx:19.8 | Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain forever true, | |
| Tx:19.8 | you seek to connect them. But illusions are always connected, as is | truth. Each is united, a complete thought system, but totally |
| Tx:19.8 | seems to keep your identification safe from the “attack” of | truth. |
| Tx:19.15 | He would make of it. For faith brings peace, and so it calls on | truth to enter and make lovely what has already been prepared for |
| Tx:19.15 | enter and make lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. | Truth follows faith and peace, completing the process of making |
| Tx:19.15 | goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet | truth will stay forever. |
| Tx:19.20 | tenet in the ego's insane religion is that sin is not error but | truth, and it is innocence that would deceive. Purity is seen as |
| Tx:19.20 | humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation away from | truth and keep it separate? |
| Tx:19.22 | and decay. If this is a mistake, it can be undone easily by | truth. Any mistake can be corrected, if truth be left to judge it. |
| Tx:19.22 | it can be undone easily by truth. Any mistake can be corrected, if | truth be left to judge it. But if the mistake is given the status of |
| Tx:19.22 | 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 kept in |
| Tx:19.22 | “holiness” of sin is kept in place by just this strange device. As | truth it is inviolate, and everything is brought to it for judgment. |
| Tx:19.22 | is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to | truth. It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is |
| Tx:19.45 | illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of | truth which you accepted must all illusions end. |

| Tx:19.97 | you see its weakness and learn it has no power to keep you from the | truth. The Guide Who brought you here remains with you, and when you |
| Tx:20.1 | is Palm Sunday, the celebration of victory and the acceptance of the | truth. Let us not spend this holy week brooding on the crucifixion of |
| Tx:20.2 | between the journey and its purpose; between the acceptance of the | truth and its expression. This week we celebrate life, not death. And |
| Tx:20.16 | adjustments necessary because they are not true. Who need adjust to | truth, which calls on only what he is, to understand? |
| Tx:20.18 | The holy do not interfere with | truth. They are not afraid of it, for it is within the truth they |
| Tx:20.18 | with truth. They are not afraid of it, for it is within the | truth they recognized their holiness and rejoiced at what they saw. |
| Tx:20.22 | There is a stranger in him who wandered carelessly into the home of | truth, and who will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he |
| Tx:20.23 | tiny and so meaningless it slips unnoticed through the universe of | truth, becomes your guide. To it you turn to ask the meaning of the |
| Tx:20.23 | universe. And of the one blind thing in all the seeing universe of | truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the Son of God?” |
| Tx:20.24 | would you believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the | truth? The world you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you |
| Tx:20.54 | it will endure forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by | truth, and love shines on it with the gentle smile and tender |
| Tx:20.61 | where they cannot be. And both must be undone for purposes of | truth. |
| Tx:20.63 | and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never brought to | truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is your |
| Tx:20.67 | enough to show you what is given you who see your brother sinless. | Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you |
| Tx:20.70 | shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather look on it than on the | truth? How can the engine of destruction be preferred and chosen to |
| Tx:21.19 | Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced with | truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it will be given you |
| Tx:21.22 | therefore seem unreal. All that is asked of you is to make room for | truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies beyond your |
| Tx:21.28 | Yet the | truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who created you |
| Tx:21.30 | accept this change, you have accepted the idea of making room for | truth. The source of sin is gone. You may imagine that you still |
| Tx:21.43 | relationship is one in which you join with what is part of you in | truth. And your belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you |
| Tx:21.56 | can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as well as | truth. But reason has no place at all in madness, nor can it be |
| Tx:21.64 | be fearful unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than | truth? Reason will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither |
| Tx:21.65 | it is the means, leads steadily away from madness toward the goal of | truth. And here you will lay down the burden of denying truth. This |
| Tx:21.65 | the goal of truth. And here you will lay down the burden of denying | truth. This is the burden that is terrible, and not the truth. |
| Tx:21.65 | of denying truth. This is the burden that is terrible, and not the | truth. |
| Tx:21.75 | and cannot sin? And do I want to see what I denied because it is the | truth? |
| Tx:21.76 | for you. And this imagined difference attests to your belief that | truth may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then, would seem to be |
| Tx:21.77 | Forget not that the choice of | truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to |
| Tx:21.81 | are decisions which can be made and then unmade and made again. But | truth is constant and implies a state where vacillations are |
| Tx:21.85 | he wanted happiness. Yet he did not desire it because it was the | truth and therefore must be constant. |
| Tx:22.3 | he would take. He denies not his own reality, because it is the | truth. Just under Heaven does he stand, but close enough not to |
| Tx:22.9 | your sight would show you, you will understand because it is the | truth. Only your vision can convey to you what you can see. It |
| Tx:22.13 | Such did his reason tell him; such he believed because it was the | truth. |
| Tx:22.14 | that the “something else” you thought was you is an illusion. And | truth came instantly to show you where your Self must be. It is |
| Tx:22.14 | you where your Self must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on | truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that fear is |
| Tx:22.16 | The opposite of illusions is not disillusionment, but | truth. Only to the ego, to which truth is meaningless, do they appear |
| Tx:22.16 | is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the ego, to which | truth is meaningless, do they appear to be the only alternatives and |
| Tx:22.16 | appear to be the only alternatives and different from each other. In | truth they are the same. Both bring the same amount of misery, though |
| Tx:22.16 | are those who seek illusions covered and hidden from the joy of | truth. |
| Tx:22.17 | Truth is the opposite of illusions because it offers joy. What else | |
| Tx:22.18 | if the change be real and not imagined, illusions must give way to | truth and not to other dreams that are but equally unreal. This is no |
| Tx:22.19 | way to escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. | Truth is the same and misery the same, but they are different from |
| Tx:22.19 | what is different. One illusion cherished and defended against the | truth makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the |
| Tx:22.19 | One illusion cherished and defended against the truth makes all | truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power of |
| Tx:22.25 | news to hear not one of the illusions that you made replaced the | truth? |
| Tx:22.26 | the function of an executioner you gave him for the one he has in | truth? Receive of him what God has given him for you, not what you |
| Tx:22.33 | the outside of everything, the wall that stands between you and the | truth, is wholly true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness |
| Tx:22.35 | must be distorted perception and must perceive illusions as the | truth. Could it then recognize the truth? |
| Tx:22.35 | must perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the | truth? |
| Tx:22.43 | block their way before. This veil you lift together opens the way to | truth to more than you. Those who would let illusions be lifted from |
| Tx:22.45 | because of weakness. And how can it be difficult to walk the way of | truth when only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones in this |
| Tx:22.46 | the ego wants defenses for—always to justify what goes against the | truth, flies in the face of reason, and makes no sense. Can this be |
| Tx:22.46 | can this be except an invitation to insanity to save you from the | truth? And what would you be saved from but what you fear? Belief in |
| Tx:22.47 | See how the means and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In | truth you stand together with nothing in between. God holds your |
| Tx:22.49 | This body only seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in | truth. What, then, must happen when they come together? Can the |
| Tx:22.50 | solid and immovable, between you and your brother. And not one that | truth cannot pass over lightly and so easily that you must be |
| Tx:22.63 | it is necessary that you have other experiences more in line with | truth to teach you what is natural and true. |
| Tx:22.65 | obscured. What teaches you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let | truth decide if you be different or the same and teach you which is |
| Tx:23.3 | innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the | truth releases everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what |
| Tx:23.4 | of guilt in innocence. Think what a happy world you walk with | truth beside you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a little |
| Tx:23.11 | think you are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet | truth can never be forgotten by itself, and you have not forgotten |
| Tx:23.12 | conquers will be true. There is no conflict between them and the | truth. Nor are they different from each other. Both are not true. And |
| Tx:23.12 | reality and has no influence upon it. Illusions cannot triumph over | truth, nor can they threaten it in any way. And the reality which |
| Tx:23.13 | you remember is a part of you. For you must be as God created you. | Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight |
| Tx:23.13 | does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the | truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they |
| Tx:23.13 | battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they fragment. But | truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You will |
| Tx:23.13 | nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no victory. And | truth stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the |
| Tx:23.15 | See how the conflict of illusions disappears when it is brought to | truth! For it seems real only as long as it is seen as war between |
| Tx:23.18 | Illusion meets illusion; | truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. Peace, looking |
| Tx:23.19 | sphere. Yet they appear to constitute an obstacle to reason and to | truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may look beyond |
| Tx:23.19 | because it is their purpose to make meaningless and to attack the | truth. Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they |
| Tx:23.20 | The first chaotic law is that the | truth is different for everyone. Like all these principles, this one |
| Tx:23.21 | the first principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of | truth among illusions, making it appear that some of them are harder |
| Tx:23.21 | any kind can be corrected because they are untrue. When brought to | truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No part of |
| Tx:23.21 | merely disappear. No part of nothing can be more resistant to the | truth than can another. |
| Tx:23.24 | it. It is not seen as even necessary that He be asked about the | truth of what has been established for His belief. His Son can tell |
| Tx:23.32 | that it is true. It 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 |
| Tx:23.32 | 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 opposite, |
| Tx:23.32 | of truth. It must be seen as truth to be believed. And if it is the | truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness |
| Tx:23.32 | And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the | truth before, be madness now. Such a reversal, completely turned |
| Tx:23.34 | we have seen how it appears to function many times before. In | truth it does not function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play |
| Tx:23.39 | of truth's reversal, leading still deeper into terror and away from | truth. Think not one step is smaller than another nor that return |
| Tx:23.47 | is not loving must be an attack. Every illusion is an assault on | truth, and every one does violence to the idea of love because it |
| Tx:23.47 | does violence to the idea of love because it seems to be of equal | truth. |
| Tx:23.48 | What can be equal to the | truth yet different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they |
| Tx:23.51 | be perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the | truth of miracles be recognized if murder is your choice? |
| Tx:24.2 | is no substitute for peace. What God creates has no alternative. The | truth arises from what He knows. And your decisions come from your |
| Tx:24.11 | Those who are special must defend illusions against the | truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? |
| Tx:24.13 | an alien will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the | truth. |
| Tx:24.14 | of peace and wrapped it carefully in sin to keep it “safe” from | truth. |
| Tx:24.15 | If you think you are and would defend your specialness against the | truth of what you really are, how can you know the truth? What answer |
| Tx:24.15 | against the truth of what you really are, how can you know the | truth? What answer that the Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it |
| Tx:24.16 | one a different message, and one with different meaning, is the | truth. Yet how can truth be different to each one? The special |
| Tx:24.16 | message, and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can | truth be different to each one? The special messages the special hear |
| Tx:24.17 | in its defense against himself will vanish as his mind accepts the | truth about himself as it returns to take their place. This is the |
| Tx:24.17 | as it returns to take their place. This is the only “cost” of | truth: you will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no |
| Tx:24.18 | Nor will you change his function, any more than you can change the | truth in him and in yourself. But be you certain that the truth is |
| Tx:24.18 | change the truth in him and in yourself. But be you certain that the | truth is just the same in both. It gives no different messages and |
| Tx:24.18 | dream of specialness remain between you. What is one is joined in | truth. |
| Tx:24.20 | You have come far along the way of | truth—too far to falter now. Just one step more and every vestige |
| Tx:24.20 | so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy place does | truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing and in |
| Tx:24.22 | the same as God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the | truth of God and you as one seem anything but Heaven and the hope of |
| Tx:24.24 | and in loneliness your special kingdom, apart from God, away from | truth and from salvation. |
| Tx:24.28 | you did not anticipate upsets your world and hurls it into chaos. | Truth is not frail. Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and |
| Tx:24.28 | it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But specialness is not the | truth in you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on |
| Tx:24.37 | but only in the sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the | truth. They will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been |
| Tx:24.38 | brother's sins would justify itself and give it meaning that the | truth denies. All that is real proclaims his sinlessness. All that is |
| Tx:24.42 | arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the | truth and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at |
| Tx:24.53 | freedom yours, for such it is. Let not his specialness obscure the | truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to will you |
| Tx:24.55 | situations and through time which seems to have no end until the | truth be your decision. For eternity is not regained by still one |
| Tx:24.55 | Him He set forever in your brother's holiness that you might see the | truth about yourself set forth at last in terms you recognized and |
| Tx:24.59 | grim determination was for this—you wanted specialness to be the | truth. |
| Tx:24.60 | and tedious, too heavy to be borne. Yet to the dedication to the | truth as God established it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called |
| Tx:24.60 | no strain called forth, and all the power of Heaven and the might of | truth itself is given to provide the means and guarantee the goal's |
| Tx:24.62 | tied to this world defend the specialness he wants to be the | truth! His wish is law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his |
| Tx:24.64 | 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 thankful, rather, |
| Tx:24.64 | rather, it is given you to see his holiness because it is the | truth. And what is true in him must be as true in you. |
| Tx:24.65 | own. Weave, rather then, a frame of holiness around him that the | truth may shine on him and give you safety from decay. |
| Tx:24.66 | purpose and is means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for | truth shares in its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. |
| Tx:24.71 | body testify to the idea that made it and speak for its reality and | truth. |
| Tx:24.72 | thus does his perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of | truth. Yet can perception serve another goal. It is not bound to |
| Tx:25.8 | Heaven presents itself to you as separate too. Not that it is in | truth, but that the link that has been given you to join the truth |
| Tx:25.8 | is in truth, but that the link that has been given you to join the | truth may reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son |
| Tx:25.8 | Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in | truth. Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ |
| Tx:25.10 | it is. And It must use all learning to transfer illusions to the | truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and leading you beyond |
| Tx:25.10 | all false ideas of what you are and leading you beyond them to the | truth that is beyond them. All this can very simply be reduced to |
| Tx:25.30 | preserved. But to forgive it is to change its state from error into | truth. |
| Tx:25.36 | for a little while. How better could your own mistakes be brought to | truth than by your willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you |
| Tx:25.37 | to have. And no one could believe in one unless the other were the | truth, for each attests the other must be true. |
| Tx:25.40 | If you decide against his proper function, the only one he has in | truth, you are depriving him of all the joy he would have found if he |
| Tx:25.52 | and has no meaning is insanity. And what is madness cannot be the | truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every |
| Tx:25.53 | created him. And if he chooses to believe one thought opposed to | truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son because the Son is |
| Tx:25.53 | rests on sin. Who could create the changeless if it does not rest on | truth? |
| Tx:25.55 | gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on | truth. Each sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless |
| Tx:25.55 | sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal | truth of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the Father |
| Tx:25.61 | be a gainer. Here is sanity restored. And on this single rock of | truth can faith in God's eternal saneness rest in perfect confidence |
| Tx:25.62 | and in Him no loss is possible. And this is sane because it is the | truth. |
| Tx:25.70 | but have a Judge Who knows that they are wholly innocent in | truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free and give them all the |
| Tx:25.78 | possible will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that | truth has greater value now than all illusions. And you recognize |
| Tx:25.78 | has greater value now than all illusions. And you recognize that | truth must be revealed to you because you know not what it is. |
| Tx:26.4 | seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to | truth? He is invisible in such a world. Nor can his song of union and |
| Tx:26.5 | Those who would see the witnesses to | truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose |
| Tx:26.11 | corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to bring to | truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the whole idea |
| Tx:26.18 | when all He knows is one? He knows of one creation, one reality, one | truth, and but one Son. Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, |
| Tx:26.18 | there to decide? For it is conflict that makes choice [complex]. The | truth is simple—it is one, without an opposite. And how could |
| Tx:26.18 | in its simple presence and bring complexity where oneness is? The | truth makes no decisions, for there is nothing to decide between. And |
| Tx:26.19 | conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the | truth where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just |
| Tx:26.20 | here in that the words imply a limited reality, a partial | truth, a segment of the universe made true. This is because knowledge |
| Tx:26.21 | Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is | truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever |
| Tx:26.21 | the final judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of the | truth upon illusion, of knowledge on perception—it has no meaning |
| Tx:26.29 | was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to the | truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their |
| Tx:26.33 | saw but for an instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to | truth. Not one illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. |
| Tx:26.37 | in place of what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to the | truth the past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want |
| Tx:26.44 | to keep the ones which he prefers and find the safety that the | truth alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the same and |
| Tx:26.45 | God appointed has no substitute, for what illusion can replace the | truth? |
| Tx:26.46 | God has called your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in | truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to |
| Tx:26.48 | Guilt asks for punishment, and its request is granted—not in | truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son |
| Tx:26.48 | changes, made to take the place of changeless knowledge. Yet is | truth unchanged. It cannot be perceived, but only known. What is |
| Tx:26.48 | What is perceived takes many forms, but none has meaning. Brought to | truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from truth, it |
| Tx:26.48 | to truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from | truth, it seems to have a meaning and be real. |
| Tx:26.49 | Perception's laws are opposite to | truth, and what is true of knowledge is not true of anything that is |
| Tx:26.50 | laws must be reversed, because they are reversals of the laws of | truth. The laws of truth forever will be true and cannot be reversed, |
| Tx:26.50 | because they are reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of | truth forever will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as |
| Tx:26.51 | It is impossible that one illusion be less amenable to | truth than are the rest. But it is possible that some are given |
| Tx:26.51 | that some are given greater value and less willingly offered to | truth for healing and for help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet |
| Tx:26.51 | offered to truth for healing and for help. No illusion has any | truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than others, although |
| Tx:26.51 | is preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the | truth? Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference gives |
| Tx:26.51 | any wish that seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the | truth. |
| Tx:26.53 | Nothing gives meaning where no meaning is. And | truth needs no defense to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses |
| Tx:26.56 | perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that | truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which |
| Tx:26.63 | but calls your ancient name, which you will recognize because the | truth is in your memory. And to this name, your brother calls for his |
| Tx:26.67 | be recognized by those who know it not. And by this little gift of | truth but let to be itself—the Son of God allowed to be himself and |
| Tx:27.5 | therefore never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal | truth that you cannot be hurt and points beyond itself to both your |
| Tx:27.11 | message it received and by its health and loveliness proclaim the | truth and value that it represents. Let it receive the power to |
| Tx:27.14 | is not pity which but seeks to pardon what it knows to be the | truth. Good cannot be returned for evil, for forgiveness does not |
| Tx:27.32 | seen as spent and fully occupied, becomes a silent invitation to the | truth to enter and to make itself at home. No preparation can be made |
| Tx:27.32 | you leave as vacant, God will fill, and where He is, there must the | truth abide. Unweakened power with no opposite is what creation is. |
| Tx:27.32 | is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points beyond the | truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet true undoing |
| Tx:27.33 | you have chosen to impose. Forgiveness is the means by which the | truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy Spirit make |
| Tx:27.56 | not make a witness true because you called him by truth's name. The | truth is found in him if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he |
| Tx:27.56 | you called him by truth's name. The truth is found in him if it is | truth he represents. And otherwise he lies, if you should call him by |
| Tx:27.61 | may heal, and suffer not the laws of sin to be applied to you. And | truth will be revealed to you who chose to let love's symbols take |
| Tx:27.67 | They support its claim on your allegiance. What conceals the | truth is not where you should look to find the truth. The witnesses |
| Tx:27.67 | What conceals the truth is not where you should look to find the | truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one little space. And it |
| Tx:27.71 | a tiny you and an enormous world, with different dreams about the | truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams lies not between the |
| Tx:27.84 | The world but demonstrates an ancient | truth—you will believe that others do to you exactly what you think |
| Tx:27.86 | Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the | truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you |
| Tx:27.87 | 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 of |
| Tx:28.3 | It is an unselective memory, which is not used to interfere with | truth. All things the Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been |
| Tx:28.6 | all the other attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the | truth about yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And |
| Tx:28.42 | own as well. Your dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the | truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams |
| Tx:28.42 | his, and his attest the truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no | truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he |
| Tx:28.49 | are your Self or an illusion. What can be between illusion and the | truth? A middle ground where you can be a thing that is not you must |
| Tx:28.49 | you can be a thing that is not you must be a dream and cannot be the | truth. |
| Tx:28.50 | You have conceived a little gap between illusions and the | truth to be the place where all your safety lies and where your Self |
| Tx:28.52 | of wood, a thread or two perhaps, all put together to attest its | truth. Reality does not depend on this. There is no gap which |
| Tx:28.52 | Reality does not depend on this. There is no gap which separates the | truth from dreams and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them |
| Tx:28.52 | is no gap which separates the truth from dreams and from illusions. | Truth has left no room for them in any place or time. For it fills |
| Tx:28.62 | body can be made a home like this because it lacks foundation in the | truth. And yet, because it does, it can be seen as not your home but |
| Tx:29.10 | suffering to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the | truth, instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, |
| Tx:29.21 | live. Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of | truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light |
| Tx:29.25 | Do you believe that | truth can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not |
| Tx:29.25 | They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of | truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have |
| Tx:29.43 | no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know the | truth and not to seek for it outside yourself. |
| Tx:29.44 | him, this cannot be so. And therefore by his coming, he denies the | truth about himself and seeks for something more than everything, as |
| Tx:29.48 | All idols of this world were made to keep the | truth within from being known to you and to maintain allegiance to |
| Tx:29.50 | of your reality an idol which you must protect against the light of | truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be |
| Tx:29.56 | gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the | truth, the light the veil between has not put out. It merely lifts |
| Tx:29.56 | veil between has not put out. It merely lifts the veil and lets the | truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not need belief |
| Tx:29.61 | your story in the dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the | truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment |
| Tx:30.38 | be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide for | truth, and everything is yours. |
| Tx:30.49 | you will not see you made it up. You always fight illusions. For the | truth behind them is so lovely and so still in loving gentleness, |
| Tx:30.49 | you would forget defensiveness entirely and rush to its embrace. The | truth could never be attacked. And this you knew when you made idols. |
| Tx:30.53 | They but obscure reality, and they bring fear because they hide the | truth. Do not attack what you have made to let you be deceived, for |
| Tx:30.73 | a fearful judgment which your brother does not merit. For it is the | truth that you can merit neither more nor less than he. |
| Tx:30.76 | must remain apart from healing, one illusion must be part of | truth. And you could not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You |
| Tx:30.76 | forgive. And so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the | truth about God's Son. |
| Tx:30.78 | There is no way to think of him but this if you would know the | truth about yourself: |
| Tx:30.80 | illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of the | truth? |

| Tx:31.12 | free because an ancient learning passed away and left a place for | truth to be reborn. |
| Tx:31.13 | by the opposing of the new and old. It is not vanquished that the | truth be known nor fought against to lose to truth's appeal. There is |

| Tx:31.14 | Let us review again what seems to stand between you and the | truth of what you are. For there are steps in its relinquishment. The |

| Tx:31.49 | of the world, which cannot make a single picture representing | truth. |
| Tx:31.59 | you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open mind that | truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self |
| Tx:31.59 | and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid by is | truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised |
| Tx:31.59 | as made on no assumptions which would stand the light, then is the | truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. |
| Tx:31.65 | It matters not where you believe you are nor what you think the | truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you |
| Tx:31.66 | be, forget not that no concept of yourself will stand against the | truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be impossible. But |
| Tx:31.66 | of yourself will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing | truth would be impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change. |

| Tx:31.68 | concepts is salvation's task. For it must deal in contrasts, not in | truth, which has no opposite and cannot change. In this world's |
| Tx:31.74 | of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the | truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see are images |
| Tx:31.87 | not leave one source of pain unhealed nor any image left to veil the | truth. [He would remove all misery from you, whom God created altars |
| Tx:31.91 | illusory alternatives laid by, and nothing left to interfere with | truth. |
| W1:8.3 | thinking at all. While thoughtless “ideas” preoccupy your mind, the | truth is blocked. Recognizing that your mind has been merely blank, |
| W1:12.8 | upset you? If you could accept the world as meaningless and let the | truth be written upon it for you, it would make you indescribably |
| W1:12.8 | it be. It is this you see in it. It is this that is meaningless in | truth. Beneath your words is written the Word of God. The truth |
| W1:12.8 | in truth. Beneath your words is written the Word of God. The | truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you will |
| W1:16.2 | can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have contributes to | truth or to illusion; either it extends the truth or it multiplies |
| W1:16.2 | you have contributes to truth or to illusion; either it extends the | truth or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, |
| W1:35.3 | your Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in | truth. We will use a somewhat different kind of application for |
| W1:41.4 | understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the | truth is hidden deep within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, |
| W1:43.1 | as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in | truth. |
| W1:45.4 | the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of | truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we |
| W1:45.8 | Then try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the | truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal. |
| W1:48.1 | to those who believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In | truth there is nothing to fear. It is very easy to recognize this. |
| W1:49.1 | your regular activities in any way. The part of your mind in which | truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are |
| W1:50.3 | release from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the | truth about yourself. |
| W1:50.4 | think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its | truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection |
| W1:55.2 | I do not know who I am. I am determined to see the witnesses to the | truth in me, rather than those that show me an illusion of myself. |
| W1:55.6 | purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the | truth about it. |
| W1:56.3 | essential that I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by | truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will |
| W1:56.4 | guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, | truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this |
| W1:56.5 | [29] God is in everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the | truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the |
| W1:56.5 | are part of Him will yet look past all appearances and recognize the | truth beyond them all. |
| W1:57.4 | I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of | truth. I see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, |
| W1:58.2 | longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the | truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the |
| W1:58.4 | ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the | truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with |
| W1:60.5 | guide my actions, and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward | truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God's Voice is the |
| W1:61.1 | the world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the | truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of |
| W1:61.1 | It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the | truth. |
| W1:61.4 | It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the | truth and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your |
| W1:61.8 | practice period. Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the | truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to |
| W1:62.1 | you are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the | truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your |
| W1:62.2 | creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the | truth. For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that |
| W1:65.10 | of being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced by | truth. |
| W1:66.3 | will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the | truth about your function. We will not engage in ceaseless arguments |
| W1:66.3 | it. We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on | truth. We will merely be glad that we can find out what truth is. |
| W1:66.3 | attacks on truth. We will merely be glad that we can find out what | truth is. |
| W1:66.4 | in appearance, and recognize a common content where it exists in | truth. |
| W1:66.9 | up of illusions. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where | truth abides. There are no other guides but these to choose between |
| W1:66.12 | to the Holy Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the | truth. Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on |
| W1:66.13 | and the different as different. On one side stand all illusions. All | truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the |
| W1:66.13 | truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the | truth is true. |
| W1:67.2 | We will make every effort today to reach this | truth about you and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it |
| W1:67.2 | about you and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the | truth. In the longer practice period, we will think about your |
| W1:67.2 | unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating this | truth about you and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant |
| W1:67.5 | reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the | truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in |
| W1:67.6 | and that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the | truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that |
| W1:67.7 | the idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the | truth about yourself as frequently as possible because your mind is |
| W1:67.7 | to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the | truth about yourself in this. |
| W1:67.8 | reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of | truth replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with |
| W1:67.8 | everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple | truth about the Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself. |
| W1:72.5 | deceiver, full of false promises and offering illusions in place of | truth. |
| W1:72.8 | against Him and His creation, that you may not hear the Voice of | truth and welcome it as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His place |
| W1:72.9 | to your peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the | truth outside you, locked away from your awareness by the body's |
| W1:72.10 | The light of | truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is |
| W1:72.10 | a body is to be in our natural state. To recognize the light of | truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as |
| W1:72.15 | the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of | truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom |
| W1:73.7 | happiness, and 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 |
| W1:76.7 | We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a | truth which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which |
| W1:76.7 | is no longer a truth which we would hide. We realize instead it is a | truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of |
| W1:76.10 | hold your mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the | truth to you. You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss |
| W1:77.2 | nor on any of the rituals you have devised. It is inherent in the | truth of what you are. It is implicit in what God your Father is. It |
| W1:77.3 | you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in | truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not |
| W1:78.4 | So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward | truth, away from fear. |
| 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 different way and see our savior |
| W1:80.2 | God's answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the light of | truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the |
| W1:R2.4 | Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way, the | truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, |
| W1:88.2 | are not there to choose. That is why I always choose between | truth and illusion, between what is there and what is not. The light |
| W1:89.5 | I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with | truth according to God's plan for my salvation. I would make no |
| W1:91.8 | The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The | truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your |
| W1:92.5 | Strength is the | truth about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshiped and adored |
| W1:92.5 | where God appointed that there should be light. Strength comes from | truth and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness |
| W1:92.6 | Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for | |
| W1:92.10 | practice 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, |
| W1:93.1 | home of evil, darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the | truth about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a |
| W1:93.7 | you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the | truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. |
| W1:93.8 | five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the | truth about our creation: |
| W1:93.14 | to closing your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the | truth about you. |
| W1:94.3 | first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the | truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these words: |
| W1:94.6 | you have ascribed to yourself and wait in silent expectancy for the | truth. God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who |
| W1:95.11 | is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the | truth. Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. |
| W1:95.12 | This is the | truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth |
| W1:95.12 | is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this | truth again and try to reach the place in you in which there is no |
| W1:95.17 | world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the | truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect harmony with all |
| W1:95.18 | all your illusions out of the One Mind which is this Self, the holy | truth in you. |
| W1:95.20 | time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the | truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. |
| W1:96.2 | The fact that | truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what |
| W1:96.7 | conflicts which a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in | truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot |
| W1:97.1 | nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply states the | truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will |
| W1:97.1 | factors into unity. It simply states the truth. Practice this | truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from |
| W1:97.2 | We state again the | truth about your Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you whose |
| W1:97.5 | His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple | truth. |
| W1:98.1 | dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We side with | truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but |
| W1:98.1 | two but take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to | truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue |
| W1:99.2 | Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The | |
| W1:99.2 | for, salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the | truth and illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by |
| W1:99.2 | is the borderland between the truth and illusion. It reflects the | truth because it is the means by which you can escape illusions. Yet |
| W1:99.2 | it is the means by which you can escape illusions. Yet it is not | truth because it undoes what was never done. |
| W1:99.4 | Mind and thought which are forever one? What plan could hold the | truth inviolate, yet recognize the need illusions bring and offer |
| W1:99.6 | This is the thought which brings illusions to the | truth, and sees them as appearances behind which is the changeless |
| W1:99.12 | your longer practice periods with this instruction in the way of | truth: |
| W1:99.15 | Forgive all thoughts which would oppose the | truth of your completeness, unity, and peace. You cannot lose the |
| W1:99.16 | to believe them true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the | truth these mighty words contain: |
| W1:101.11 | God's Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the | truth because there is no sin. |
| W1:103.2 | think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in | truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He |
| W1:103.3 | This basic error we will try again to bring to | truth today and teach ourselves: |
| W1:103.6 | each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as | truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the |
| W1:103.7 | And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot fail because I seek the | truth. |
| W1:104.2 | where God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are our own in | truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before time was and which |
| W1:104.4 | Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given | truth for your salvation, should begin with this: |
| W1:104.5 | I seek but what belongs to me in | truth, and joy and peace are my inheritance. |
| W1:104.7 | Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in | truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for |
| W1:104.7 | we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in | truth. |
| W1:104.9 | I seek but what belongs to me in | truth. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want. |
| W1:106.1 | told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of | truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in |
| W1:106.2 | to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the | truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead which tell you they have |
| W1:106.2 | offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the | truth. |
| W1:106.3 | persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the | truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your |
| W1:106.9 | I will be still and listen to the | truth. What does it mean to give and to receive? |
| W1:106.11 | Be still and listen to the | truth today. For each five minutes spent in listening, a thousand |
| W1:106.11 | five minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the | truth. And they will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour |
| W1:106.11 | past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that | truth be given them along with you. |
| W1:106.13 | Let me be still and listen to the | truth. I am the messenger of God today. My voice is His, to give what |
| W1:107.1 | What can correct illusions but the | truth? And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for |
| W1:107.1 | but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where | truth has entered, errors disappear. They merely vanish, leaving not |
| W1:107.1 | whence they came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only | truth remains. |
| W1:107.3 | the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the | truth has come. |
| W1:107.4 | illusions there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When | truth has come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory |
| W1:107.4 | room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. | Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs |
| W1:107.4 | from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the | truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth |
| W1:107.4 | the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for | truth is everywhere forever now. |
| W1:107.5 | When | truth has come, it does not stay a while to disappear or change to |
| W1:107.5 | the world presents engender. They will merely blow away when | truth corrects the errors in your mind. |
| W1:107.6 | When | truth has come, it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy |
| W1:107.6 | beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the | truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible. |
| W1:107.6 | and therefore no attack is possible. Illusions can be brought to | truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond illusions and |
| W1:107.6 | possible. Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the | truth stands far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to |
| W1:107.6 | far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn them into | truth. |
| W1:107.7 | Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance | |
| W1:107.8 | Today belongs to | truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not |
| W1:107.8 | Today belongs to truth. Give | truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to |
| W1:107.8 | to suffer and to die. Your Father wills these dreams be gone. Let | truth correct them all. We do not ask for what we do not have. We |
| W1:107.9 | we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of | truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our |
| W1:107.9 | we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with | truth today and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we |
| W1:107.11 | Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could | |
| W1:107.12 | Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who | |
| W1:107.13 | Then let Him lead you gently to the | truth which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil |
| W1:107.14 | For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which the | truth that goes with you will carry to the world. They will increase |
| W1:108.4 | giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose | truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to |
| W1:108.5 | every kind of learning if it be directed by the One Who knows the | truth. |
| W1:108.9 | To give and to receive are one in | truth. I will receive what I am giving now. |
| W1:108.14 | To give and to receive are one in | truth. |
| W1:109.2 | seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping | truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth |
| W1:109.2 | truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same | truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of |
| W1:109.3 | no problem which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to | truth before the eyes of you who rest in God. |
| W1:109.4 | hate, your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of | truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you |
| W1:110.1 | to save you and the world if you believed that it is true. Its | truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself which have |
| W1:110.3 | If you remain as God created you, appearances cannot replace the | truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute |
| W1:110.5 | It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the | truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today's idea with |
| W1:110.5 | of the world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the | truth that comes to set you free. This is the truth that God has |
| W1:110.5 | gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. This is the | truth that God has promised you. This is the Word in which all sorrow |
| W1:110.10 | images which you believed were you. Today we make a great advance to | truth by letting idols go and opening our hands and hearts and minds |
| W1:110.13 | Let us declare this | truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you free. |
| W1:111.2 | in light. I cannot see in darkness. Let the light of holiness and | truth light up my mind And let me see the innocence within. |
| W1:117.3 | [104] I seek but what belongs to me in | truth. Love is my heritage and with it joy. These are the gifts my |
| W1:117.3 | the gifts my Father gave to me. I would accept all that is mine in | truth. |
| W1:117.7 | I seek but what belongs to me in | truth. |
| W1:118.3 | [106] Let me be still and listen to the | truth. Let mine own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty |
| W1:118.3 | mine own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice of | truth itself assure me that I am God's perfect Son. |
| W1:118.7 | Let me be still and listen to the | truth. |
| W1:119.2 | [107] | Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think |
| W1:119.3 | [108] To give and to receive are one in | truth. I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to |
| W1:119.3 | I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to accept the | truth in me and come to recognize my sinlessness. |
| W1:119.5 | Truth will correct all errors in my mind. | |
| W1:119.7 | To give and to receive are one in | truth. |
| W1:122.6 | the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the | truth. |
| W1:122.13 | as you see the changeless in the heart of change, the light of | truth behind appearances. Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by |
| W1:123.1 | is no thought of turning back and no implacable resistance to the | truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections, and a little |
| W1:124.2 | place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to | truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. |
| W1:126.8 | Today we try to understand the | truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will need help to |
| W1:126.8 | Him your faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing in | truth today. And if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release |
| W1:126.10 | really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to hear the Voice of | truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He |
| W1:127.5 | There is not one principle the world upholds but violates the | truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the |
| W1:127.8 | He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of | truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark |
| W1:127.8 | shine through your idle thoughts today and help you understand the | truth of love. In loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you |
| W1:130.3 | project upon the world? What can be seen in darkness that is real? | Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is but imagined. Yet what |
| W1:130.10 | you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in | truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is |
| 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 |
| W1:131.11 | No one can fail who asks to reach the | truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten |
| W1:131.11 | No one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is | truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal |
| W1:131.11 | have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor substance in the | truth. |
| W1:131.15 | to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the | truth, and it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has |
| W1:131.16 | you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the | truth you knew and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams. |
| W1:131.19 | purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to reach the | truth. |
| W1:132.1 | are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the | truth. A madman thinks the world he sees is real and does not doubt |
| W1:132.5 | already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in | truth you found exactly what you looked for when you came. There is |
| W1:132.7 | one must go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to | truth. He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a |
| W1:132.8 | that the world does not exist because what they behold must be the | truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some will find |
| W1:132.13 | this release to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as God in | truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His Son, for He |
| W1:132.14 | idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the | truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release |
| W1:133.9 | what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not even tell the | truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo which it uses |
| W1:134.1 | a gift unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the | truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric |
| W1:134.2 | to what is false. It is irrelevant to everything except illusions. | Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All truth |
| W1:134.2 | Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All | truth belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His Love. Does |
| W1:134.3 | on your part is that you still believe you must forgive the | truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to |
| W1:134.3 | pardon as a vain attempt to look past what is there; to overlook the | truth in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an |
| W1:134.4 | Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, like all the rest. It says the | truth is false and smiles on the corrupt as if they were as blameless |
| W1:134.5 | denied, or called another name, for pardon is a treachery to | truth. Guilt cannot be forgiven. If you sin, your guilt is |
| W1:134.6 | them lightly with a little laugh and gently lays them at the feet of | truth. And there they disappear entirely. |
| W1:134.7 | Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for | truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and |
| W1:134.7 | eyes and merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the | truth.” |
| W1:134.8 | which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions, not as | truth. It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in the |
| 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 up the |
| W1:134.8 | By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens up the way to | truth, which had been blocked by dreams of guilt. |
| W1:134.10 | of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in | truth. It is but lies which would condemn. In truth is innocence the |
| W1:134.10 | to be and as it is in truth. It is but lies which would condemn. In | truth is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness stands |
| W1:134.10 | only thing there is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the | truth, between the world you see and that which lies beyond, between |
| W1:134.11 | are all dreams of evil and of hatred and attack brought silently to | truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the |
| W1:135.11 | respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with | truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you |
| W1:135.15 | a frightened mind would undertake its own protection at the cost of | truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these |
| W1:135.18 | Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the | truth. Their aim is to select what you approve and disregard what you |
| W1:135.20 | the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the | truth that only your defenses would conceal. |
| W1:135.22 | but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the | truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty. |
| W1:135.23 | rest from senseless planning and from every thought which blocks the | truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, |
| W1:135.26 | 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 be |
| W1:135.29 | defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense against the | truth of his reality. |
| W1:136.1 | illusion by the same approach that carries all of them to | truth and merely leaves them there to disappear. |
| W1:136.2 | pile of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep the | truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole |
| W1:136.3 | made without awareness. They are secret magic wands you wave when | truth appears to threaten what you would believe. They seem to be |
| W1:136.8 | It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when for an instant | truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your world appears to |
| W1:136.8 | world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that | truth may go away and threaten your establishments no more. |
| W1:136.9 | How do you think that sickness can succeed in shielding you from | truth? Because it proves the body is not separate from you, and so |
| W1:136.9 | body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the | truth. You suffer pain because the body does, and in this pain are |
| W1:136.10 | Thus is the body stronger than the | truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome your choice to die. |
| W1:136.11 | such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your illusions, | truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to laws which |
| W1:136.11 | them up? Who else can see them and react to them as if they were the | truth? |
| W1:136.12 | can but choose to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the | truth in any way. What is created is apart from all of this. Defenses |
| W1:136.13 | Such is the simple | truth. It does not make appeal to might nor triumph. It does not |
| W1:136.13 | and futile are your attempts to plan defenses which would alter it. | Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such its purpose is. |
| W1:136.14 | an illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is not the | truth right now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart |
| W1:136.14 | For time is but another meaningless defense you made against the | truth. Yet what God wills is here, and you remain as He created you. |
| W1:136.15 | Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no illusions can remain | |
| W1:136.15 | time—today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the | truth. This is our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour |
| W1:136.15 | aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the | truth to come to us and set us free. |
| W1:136.16 | And | truth will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits |
| W1:136.16 | it with a healing prayer to help us rise above defensiveness and let | truth be as it has always been: |
| W1:136.17 | Sickness is a defense against the | truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly |
| W1:136.17 | Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the | truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed today. |
| W1:136.18 | Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and | truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will |
| W1:136.18 | corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from the light of | truth. There will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their |
| W1:136.22 | for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the | truth, but I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I cannot be |
| W1:137.4 | Sickness would prove that lies must be the | truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true. The separation |
| W1:137.4 | prove that lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that | truth is true. The separation sickness would impose has never really |
| W1:137.4 | To be healed is merely to accept what always was the simple | truth and always will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes |
| W1:137.4 | that what they look upon is false. So healing, never needed by the | truth, must demonstrate that sickness is not real. |
| W1:137.5 | counter-dream which cancels out the dream of sickness in the name of | truth but not in truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins |
| W1:137.5 | cancels out the dream of sickness in the name of truth but not in | truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were |
| W1:137.5 | states and false ideas which dreams embroider into pictures of the | truth. |
| W1:137.7 | replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before the simple | truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in spite of all the |
| W1:137.8 | For it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the | truth. Healing is shared. And by this attribute, it proves that laws |
| W1:137.11 | mind becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. For here is | truth bestowed, and here are all illusions brought to truth. |
| W1:137.11 | For here is truth bestowed, and here are all illusions brought to | truth. |
| W1:137.12 | cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only | truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day |
| W1:138.2 | It is this strange perception of the | truth that makes the choice of Heaven seem to be the same as the |
| W1:138.2 | here unless it is reflected in some form the world can understand. | Truth cannot come where it could only be perceived with fear, for |
| W1:138.2 | it could only be perceived with fear, for this would be the error | truth can be brought to illusions. Opposition makes the truth |
| W1:138.2 | be the error truth can be brought to illusions. Opposition makes the | truth unwelcome, and it cannot come. |
| W1:138.4 | that one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for | truth is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to |
| W1:138.4 | is no opposite to choose instead. There is no contradiction to the | truth. |
| W1:138.5 | Choosing depends on learning. But the | truth cannot be learned but only recognized. In recognition its |
| W1:138.5 | of your learning, for they rest on what you have accepted as the | truth of what you are and what your needs must be. |
| W1:138.6 | different forms. Here is the final and the only choice in which is | truth accepted or denied. |
| W1:138.8 | from salvation, threatened to be safe, and magically armored against | truth. And these decisions are made unaware to keep them safely |
| W1:138.9 | which the mind had made before are open to correction as the | truth dismisses them as causeless. Now are they without effects. They |
| W1:138.11 | what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the | truth. Its pseudo-being, brought to what is real, is flimsy and |
| W1:139.5 | But you have split your mind into what knows and does not know the | truth. You are yourself. There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt |
| W1:139.9 | accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the | truth about yourself and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of |
| W1:139.12 | and in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in | truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have |
| W1:140.3 | dreams another dream. His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of | truth upon the mind. They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that |
| W1:140.6 | the need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to | truth which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought |
| W1:140.7 | effect a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the | truth is really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one |
| W1:140.10 | this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of | truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet |
| W1:R4.1 | time aware we are preparing for the second part of learning how the | truth can be applied. Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness |
| W1:R4.4 | This is a fact and represents the | truth of what you are and what your Father is. It is this thought by |
| W1:R4.6 | you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of | truth. No more than can a child who throws a stick into the ocean |
| W1:146.1 | [131] No one can fail who asks to reach the | truth. |
| W1:148.2 | [136] Sickness is a defense against the | truth. |
| W1:151.3 | ears report. You think your fingers touch reality and close upon the | truth. This is awareness which you understand and think more real |
| W1:151.10 | lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the | truth. He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, |
| W1:151.11 | He will select the elements in them that represent the | truth and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And |
| W1:151.13 | our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of | truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, |
| W1:151.14 | transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind Which saw the | truth in it and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All |
| W1:151.17 | begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that | truth has no illusions and the peace of God, through us, belongs to |
| W1:152.2 | that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be true. Yet can | truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of everything, can loss |
| W1:152.2 | and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect holiness abide? | Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the truth at all. Accept no |
| W1:152.2 | and perfect holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the | truth at all. Accept no opposite and no exceptions, for to do so is |
| W1:152.2 | no opposite and no exceptions, for to do so is to contradict the | truth entirely. |
| W1:152.3 | Salvation is the recognition that the | truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have heard before, |
| W1:152.3 | has no meaning, but without the second is the first no longer true. | Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said and |
| W1:152.3 | if what is not true is true as well as what is true, then part of | truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth |
| W1:152.3 | is true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and | truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth is true, and what |
| W1:152.3 | of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the | truth is true, and what is false is false. |
| W1:152.4 | of choices which do not appear to be entirely your own. And thus the | truth appears to have some aspects that belie consistency but do not |
| W1:152.5 | and in all response. This is the all-inclusiveness which sets the | truth apart from falsehood, and the false kept separate from the |
| W1:152.5 | the truth apart from falsehood, and the false kept separate from the | truth as what it is. |
| W1:152.7 | that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites to | truth, and suffers death to triumph over life—all this is |
| W1:152.9 | ego seeks to prove it arrogant. Only the ego can be arrogant. But | truth is humble in acknowledging its mightiness, its changelessness, |
| W1:152.11 | Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only | truth is true. |
| W1:152.12 | We think of | truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes practicing its ways, |
| W1:152.15 | will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the | truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of |
| W1:153.10 | untouchable within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the | truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be surer that |
| W1:153.13 | upon this earth. And then we go to take our rightful place where | truth abides and games are meaningless. |
| W1:155.2 | other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of | truth is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let |
| W1:155.2 | walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the | truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity. |
| W1:155.2 | is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the | truth stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity. |
| W1:155.3 | were mistaken in the choice. They cannot learn directly from the | truth because they have denied that it is so. And so they need a |
| W1:155.3 | their madness, but who still can look beyond illusion to the simple | truth in them. |
| W1:155.4 | If | truth demanded they give up the world, it would appear to them as if |
| W1:155.6 | bring their eyes to look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the | truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through illusion, for |
| W1:155.7 | and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps back as | truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of death |
| W1:155.7 | a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake illusion for the | truth. |
| W1:155.8 | is salvation's call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept the | truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of ransom from |
| W1:155.9 | to you. And you may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of | truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been |
| W1:155.9 | in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of purpose to the | truth. It goes before you now, that they may see something with which |
| W1:155.10 | Yet at the journey's ending there will be no gap, no distance between | truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you traveled will |
| W1:155.10 | will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the | truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step back in |
| W1:155.10 | from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let | truth lead the way. You know not where you go, but One Who knows goes |
| W1:155.11 | no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather than the | truth. And we step forth toward this as we progress along the way |
| W1:155.11 | And we step forth toward this as we progress along the way that | truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we make for |
| W1:155.11 | which we make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as | truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow |
| W1:155.12 | less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The | truth that walks before us now is one with Him and leads us to where |
| W1:156.1 | Today's idea but states the simple | truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is |
| W1:156.2 | not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum. | Truth must be true throughout if it be true. It cannot contradict |
| W1:157.8 | the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into | truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed for you this |
| W1:159.10 | to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to | truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and |
| W1:160.2 | is a stranger in our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the | truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a world truth does |
| W1:160.2 | to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a world | truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as senseless. |
| W1:160.2 | looks upon a world truth does not know, and understands what | truth regards as senseless. Stranger yet, he does not recognize to |
| W1:161.4 | Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. Such is the | truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do |
| W1:162.3 | certain and his body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the | truth before him always. He will save the world because he gives the |
| W1:162.3 | gives the world what he receives each time he practices the words of | truth. |
| W1:164.1 | What time but now can | truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is. And so |
| W1:165.1 | What makes this world seem real except your own denial of the | truth which lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death |
| W1:166.3 | against himself. He must deny their presence, contradict the | truth, and suffer to preserve the world he made. |
| W1:166.7 | appointed way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of | truth and be released from self-deception and set free. |
| W1:167.1 | There are not different kinds of life, for life is like the | truth. It does not have degrees. It is the one condition in which all |
| W1:167.3 | can heal. It is the cause of healing. It is why you cannot die. Its | truth established you as one with God. |
| W1:167.7 | can be reconciled with what created it because it is not opposite in | truth. Its form may change; it may appear to be what it is not. Yet |
| W1:167.10 | Let us today be children of the | truth and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine |
| W1:169.1 | Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of | truth. It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond |
| W1:169.4 | you to bear witness to the Word of God to hasten the experience of | truth and speed its advent into every mind which recognizes its |
| W1:169.12 | outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as witness to the | truth? |
| W1:R5.12 | completing His extension in your own. We practice but an ancient | truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we |
| W1:184.4 | is made by partial vision, purposefully set against the given | truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little things and |
| W1:184.13 | its aspects have distorted what you see but have not interfered with | truth at all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we use |
| W1:184.15 | absolved of all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the | truth You give in place of every one of them. Your Name is our |
| W1:185.3 | what they will becomes the Will of God. For minds can only join in | truth. In dreams no two can share the same intent. To each the hero |
| W1:185.12 | of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of | truth. |
| W1:186.6 | yourself. You are not ignorant and helpless. Sin cannot tarnish the | truth in you, and misery can come not near the holy home of God. |
| W1:187.1 | then the world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The | truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess. |
| W1:188.5 | it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the | truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you now and in all |
| W1:190.3 | Pain is a sign illusions reign in place of | truth. It demonstrates God is denied, confused with fear, perceived |
| W1:190.10 | Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. Pain is deception; joy alone is | truth. |
| W1:190.11 | choice that ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the | truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let our gratitude unto |
| W1:191.4 | to believe. In this one thought is everything set free. In this one | truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness |
| W1:193.7 | it cannot be rejected in the end. No one can hide forever from a | truth so very obvious that it appears in countless forms and yet is |
| W1:193.15 | Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they will disappear. | Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God |
| W1:193.15 | to look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His message; | truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have us learn. |
| W1:194.8 | to come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the | truth of love. Think you the world could fail to gain thereby and |
| W1:196.2 | because 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 |
| W1:196.2 | cite the truth to save its lies. Yet must it fail to understand the | truth it uses thus. But you can learn to see these foolish |
| W1:196.3 | you are not an ego. For the ways in which the ego would distort the | truth will not deceive you longer. You will not believe you are a |

| W1:198.9 | Today we practice letting freedom come to make its home with you. The | truth bestows these words upon your mind that you may find the key to |
| W1:199.1 | firmly tied to it and sheltered by its presence. If this were the | truth, the mind were vulnerable indeed! |
| W1:200.6 | What does forgiveness do? In | truth it has no function and does nothing, for it is unknown in |
| W1:R6.5 | clutters up the mind and makes it deaf to reason, sanity, and simple | truth. |
| W2:I.1 | on which we do not now depend. For now we seek direct experience of | truth alone. The lessons which remain are merely introductions to the |
| W2:I.8 | of this one holy year which we have spent together in the search for | truth and God, Who is its one Creator. We have found the way He chose |
| W2:I.9 | would make of Him. And we believed that our insane desires were the | truth. Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer |
| W2:WF.4 | to forgive. But he who would forgive himself must learn to welcome | truth exactly as it is. |
| W2:222.1 | shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he who knows the | truth of what He speaks today! |
| W2:224.1 | This is reality, and only this. This is illusion's end. It is the | Truth. |
| W2:226.1 | depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the | truth. |
| W2:227.1 | illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down before the feet of | truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of |
| W2:229.1 | from the holy face of Christ. And what I look upon attests the | truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but which my Father has kept |
| W2:231.1 | want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the | truth about myself? |
| W2:237.1 | Today I will accept the | truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow the light in me |
| W2:239.1 | Let not the | truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us |
| W2:WIW.1 | the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to | truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. |
| W2:WIW.3 | and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where | truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report |
| W2:WIW.3 | that they report is but illusion, which is kept apart from | truth. |
| W2:WIW.4 | As sight was made to lead away from | truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God. And all |
| W2:243.2 | am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and | truth must shine in all of us as one. |
| W2:244.2 | And there we are in | truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God |
| W2:247.1 | 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 look on |
| W2:248.1 | I have disowned the | truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever |
| W2:248.1 | my mind. What dies was never living in reality and did but mock the | truth about myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies |
| W2:WIS.1 | the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the place of | truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth should be and |
| W2:WIS.1 | take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the | truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave the body eyes, for |
| W2:WIS.1 | to grasp? What would they sense at all? To sense is not to know. And | truth can be but filled with knowledge and with nothing else. |
| W2:WIS.2 | the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. | Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek |
| W2:251.1 | My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only | truth. In that, all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes |
| W2:252.2 | Reveal it now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the | truth in You and know that Heaven is restored to me. |
| W2:254.1 | Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the | truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today. |

| W2:255.1 | Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the | truth of what He says. God's Son can have no cares and must remain |
| W2:WIB.3 | revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in | truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body |

| W2:269.1 | to me and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to | truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. |
| W2:270.1 | Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to | truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time, |
| W2:WIC.3 | of your holy mind. This is the only part of you that has reality in | truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ |
| W2:WIC.4 | to all your dreams and bids them come to Him to be translated into | truth. He will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed |
| W2:271.1 | the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the | truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me |
| W2:272.1 | Father, the | truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your will and mine. |
| W2:274.1 | and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the | truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all |
| W2:277.2 | because he is his Father's Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's | Truth can lie and God can will that He deceive Himself. |
| W2:278.1 | do not know my Father or my Self. And I am lost to all reality. For | truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth. |
| W2:278.1 | all reality. For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of | truth. |
| W2:278.2 | Father, I ask for nothing but the | truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation |
| W2:278.2 | I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. For | truth is safe and only love is sure. |
| W2:279.1 | freedom if it be at all. Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with | truth established in their place. And now is freedom his already. |
| W2:280.1 | I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in illusions, not in | truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's Mind. No Thought of |
| W2:WIHS.1 | The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the | truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, |
| W2:WIHS.1 | God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for | truth. Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all carried to |
| W2:WIHS.1 | Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all carried to the | truth, to be dispelled before the light of knowledge. There are |
| W2:WIHS.2 | entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal it has in | truth. For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He |
| W2:WIHS.2 | becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal | Truth. |
| W2:282.1 | me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death while | truth remains forever living in the joy of life. And this the choice |
| 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 another name? |
| W2:282.2 | Your Name is Love, and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the | truth be changed by merely giving it another name? The name of fear |
| W2:282.2 | name? The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me not be afraid of | truth today. |
| W2:284.1 | 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 times and next |
| W2:284.1 | be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the | truth. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go |
| W2:284.1 | go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the | truth in them. |
| W2:284.2 | but the joyous as Your gifts, accepting but the joyous as the | truth. |
| W2:287.2 | signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the | truth? You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You created him. |
| W2:WIRW.5 | taking perception with it as it goes and leaving but the | Truth to be Itself. That instant is our goal, for it contains the |
| W2:303.2 | He is the Self that 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 |
| W2:305.1 | in silence as this peace envelops it and gently carries it to | truth, no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come and healed |
| W2:307.1 | one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy | truth that I remain as You created me. |
| W2:WILJ.3 | would condemn the world to hell along with you, accept this holy | truth: God's Judgment is the gift of the correction He bestowed on |
| W2:311.1 | Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the | truth. It separates what it is being used against and sets it off as |

| W2:319.1 | For arrogance opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the | truth will come immediately and fill up the space the ego left |
| W2:WICR.3 | Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the | truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will |
| W2:323.2 | And as we pay the debt we owe to | truth—a debt which merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and |
| W2:323.2 | letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshiped falsely— | truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no |
| W2:325.2 | Our Father, Your Ideas reflect the | truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. Let me behold |
| W2:325.2 | behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish | truth. |
| W2:329.1 | interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in | truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this |
| W2:331.1 | is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, Eternal | Truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for |
| W2:332.1 | The ego makes illusions. | Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth never makes |
| W2:332.1 | makes illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. | Truth never makes attack. It merely is. And by its presence is the |

| W2:WIM.2 | distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the | truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified. |

| W2:WAI.3 | have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the | truth. |
| W2:FL.2 | appointed. In the dream of time, it seems to be far off. And yet in | truth, it is already here, already serving us as gracious guidance in |
| W2:FL.2 | guidance in the way to go. Let us together follow in this way that | truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many |
| W2:FL.4 | not forgive our brother who can offer this to us? He is the way, the | truth, and life that show the way to us. In him resides salvation, |

| M:2.2 | which the course sets forth. Atonement corrects illusions, not the | truth. Therefore it corrects what never was. Further, the plan for |

| M:4.17 | how to be simple. They have no dreams that need defense against the | truth. They do not try to make themselves. Their joy comes from their |

| M:4.25 | Terms like love, sinlessness, perfection, knowledge, and eternal | truth do not appear in this context. They would be most inappropriate |
| M:5.10 | as God created him. They recognize illusions can have no effect. The | truth in their minds reaches out to the truth in the minds of their |

| M:6.1 | to let illusions be brought to truth and keep the illusions. | Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The teacher of God has |

| M:10.1 | the world. It is actually confused with wisdom and substitutes for | truth. As the world uses the term, an individual is capable of “good” |
| M:12.3 | can see. A voice they understand and listen to without the fear that | truth would encounter in them. Do not forget that truth can come only |
| M:12.3 | the fear that truth would encounter in them. Do not forget that | truth can come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's |
| M:13.1 | Although in | truth the term sacrifice is altogether meaningless, it does have |
| M:13.5 | in illusions. It is the price that must be paid for the denial of | truth. There is no pleasure of the world that does not demand this, |
| M:13.6 | 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 remain with them. |
| M:13.7 | can seem to happen. It seems to happen at the “sacrifice” of | truth. |
| M:14.1 | but in this way are all illusions ended? They have been brought to | truth, and truth saw them not. It merely overlooked the meaningless. |
| M:14.1 | way are all illusions ended? They have been brought to truth, and | truth saw them not. It merely overlooked the meaningless. |

| M:17.4 | obscure the truth, and this can never be a matter of degree. Either | truth is apparent or it is not. It cannot be partially recognized. |
| M:17.4 | or it is not. It cannot be partially recognized. Who is unaware of | truth must look upon illusions. |
| M:17.9 | Madness but seems terrible. In | truth it has no power to make anything. Like the magic which becomes |
| M:18.1 | God has ceased to confuse interpretation with fact or illusion with | truth. If he argues with his pupil about a magic thought, attacks it, |
| M:18.2 | wholly without anger. Only in this way can they proclaim the | truth about themselves. Through them, the Holy Spirit can now speak |
| M:18.2 | vision to the eyes that see. Now is He free to teach all minds the | truth of what they are, so they will gladly be returned to Him. And |
| M:18.3 | Its little space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And | truth becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one answer |
| M:18.4 | You but mistake interpretation for the | truth. And you are wrong. But a mistake is not a sin, nor has reality |
| M:19.2 | interpretation. It is, however, the one interpretation that leads to | truth. This becomes possible because, while it is not true in itself, |
| M:19.2 | it is not true in itself, justice includes nothing that opposes | truth. There is no inherent conflict between justice and truth; one |
| M:19.2 | opposes truth. There is no inherent conflict between justice and | truth; one is but the first small step in the direction of the other. |
| M:20.6 | The contrast between His Will and yours but seemed to be reality. In | truth there is no conflict, because His Will is yours. Now is the |
| M:22.6 | to recognize for him that what he believes about himself is not the | truth. It is your forgiveness that must show him this. Healing is |
| M:24.6 | if properly interpreted. In this sense it can be said that their | truth lies in their usefulness. All beliefs that lead to progress |
| M:26.1 | across the threshold of the unconscious only where all barriers to | truth have been removed. In how many is this the case? Here then is |
| M:27.7 | plays a part. Do not believe in cruelty nor let attack conceal the | truth from you. What seems to die has but been misperceived and |
| M:27.7 | Now it becomes your task to let the illusion be brought to the | truth. Be steadfast but in this; be not deceived by the “reality” of |
| M:27.7 | but in this; be not deceived by the “reality” of any changing form. | Truth neither moves nor wavers nor sinks down to death and |
| M:28.3 | is left to contradict the Word of God. There is no opposition to the | truth. And now the truth can come at last. How quickly will it come |
| M:28.3 | the Word of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And now the | truth can come at last. How quickly will it come as it is asked to |

| M:28.6 | function judgment is. And in His Final Judgment is restored the | truth about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard |
| M:28.6 | its meaning. He is free because he let God's Voice proclaim the | truth. And all he sought before to crucify are resurrected with him, |

| Tx:29.46 | in which the body's betterment is cast as major beneficiary, you | try to bring about your death. For you believe that you can suffer |

| W1:3.1 | of the things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. | Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly |
| W1:5.10 | Then search your mind for no more than a minute or so, and | try to identify a number of different forms of upset that are |
| W1:10.6 | thoughts which are available to you, without selection or judgment. | Try to avoid classification of any kind. In fact, if you find it |
| W1:12.2 | are done with eyes open. Look around you, this time quite slowly. | Try to pace yourself so that the slow shifting of your glance from |
| W1:12.2 | the time of the shift to become markedly longer or shorter, but | try, instead, to keep a measured, even tempo throughout. What you see |
| W1:13.8 | expected to believe the statement at this point and will probably | try to dismiss it as preposterous. Note carefully, however, any signs |
| W1:13.8 | in recognizing. Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and | try not even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That |
| W1:15.7 | many things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, | try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute |
| W1:21.3 | Try, therefore, not to let the “little” thoughts of anger escape you | |
| W1:21.6 | Try to be as specific as possible. You may, for example, focus your | |
| W1:24.7 | and so on. | Try to cover as many different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur |
| W1:25.2 | result, you are bound to misuse it. When you believe this, you will | try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the world instead of |
| W1:26.12 | those which occur to you toward the end, less acceptable to you. | Try, however, to treat them all alike to whatever extent you can. |
| W1:27.6 | used at least every half hour, and more often if possible. You might | try for every 15 or 20 minutes. It is recommended that you set a |
| W1:27.7 | and perhaps quite a number. Do not be disturbed by this, but do | try to keep on your schedule from then on. If only once during the |
| W1:29.3 | Try then today to begin to learn how to look on all things with love, | |
| W1:29.4 | to randomly chosen subjects about you, naming each one specifically. | Try to avoid the tendency toward self-directed selection, which may |
| W1:30.4 | as “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, | try to think of things beyond your present range as well as those you |
| W1:31.3 | each to be considered for a moment and then replaced by the next. | Try not to establish any thought of hierarchy among them. Watch them |
| W1:31.3 | as possible. Do not dwell on any one in particular, but | try to let the stream move on evenly and calmly, without any special |
| W1:32.2 | and the other the world you see in your mind. In today's exercises, | try to introduce the thought that both are in your own imagination. |
| W1:32.3 | yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner world. | Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea for |
| W1:33.2 | your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness. | Try to remain equally uninvolved in both and to maintain this |
| W1:34.7 | today's idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, | try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea |
| W1:35.5 | more self-inflating descriptive terms may well cross your mind. | Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself |
| W1:36.2 | Four three- to five-minute practice periods are required for today. | Try to distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter |
| W1:38.4 | mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. | Try to make as little distinction as possible between a situation |
| W1:40.1 | this schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. If you forget, | try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you |
| W1:40.1 | possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, | try again. Whenever you remember, try again. |
| W1:40.1 | If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, | try again. |
| W1:41.5 | today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. | Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle |
| W1:41.5 | a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. | Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any |
| W1:41.6 | you may repeat today's idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, | try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish |
| W1:42.4 | close your eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, | try to think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in |
| W1:42.8 | for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises. | Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you find this |
| W1:43.11 | think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then | try the second phase again. Do not allow any protracted period to |
| W1:43.12 | during the day. When you are with someone else, for example, | try to remember to tell him silently, |
| W1:43.14 | form is equally applicable to strangers and to those you know well. | Try, in fact, not to make distinctions of this kind at all. |
| W1:43.18 | Try today not to allow long periods of time to slip by without | |
| W1:44.7 | and close them slowly, repeating the idea several times more. Then | try to sink into your mind, letting go every kind of interference and |
| W1:44.7 | you choose to stop it. It is merely taking its natural course. | Try to observe your passing thoughts without involvement and slip |
| W1:44.9 | you will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. | Try, however, to return to the exercises as soon as possible. |
| W1:44.10 | that you are approaching if not actually entering into light. | Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the |
| W1:45.5 | Instead, we will | try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We |
| W1:45.5 | that only what God would have us do is possible. We will also | try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want |
| W1:45.5 | what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also | try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us |
| W1:45.8 | Then | try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your |
| W1:45.12 | In using the shorter form for applying today's idea, | try to remember how important it is to you to understand the holiness |
| W1:47.4 | Today we will | try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength. |
| W1:47.6 | Now | try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of |
| W1:47.8 | In the latter phase of the practice period, | try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You will |
| W1:49.2 | illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. | Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your |
| W1:49.2 | but without reality of any kind. Try today not to listen to it. | Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace |
| W1:49.2 | with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. | Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your |
| W1:49.3 | five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We will | try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. |
| W1:R1.3 | each idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, | try merely to emphasize the central point and think about it as part |
| W1:59.4 | when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I | try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been |
| W1:61.9 | first of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks. | Try today to begin to build a firm foundation for these advances. |
| 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. |
| W1:65.2 | ten to 15 minutes for a more sustained practice period in which you | try to understand and accept what today's idea really means. It |
| W1:65.3 | Try, if possible, to undertake the daily extended practice periods at | |
| W1:65.3 | extended practice periods at approximately the same time each day. | Try, also, to determine this time today in advance and then adhere to |
| W1:65.6 | concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather, | try to uncover each thought that arises which would interfere with |
| W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to find. | Try, however, to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to catch |
| 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 |
| W1:66.3 | Today we will | try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth |
| W1:66.7 | Try to see the logic in this sequence, even if you do not yet accept | |
| W1:66.12 | Holy Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the truth. | Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on which our |
| W1:66.13 | one side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us | try today to realize that only the truth is true. |
| W1:67.5 | After you have gone over several such related thoughts, | try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, |
| W1:67.5 | all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then | try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself |
| W1:67.8 | Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your | |
| W1:68.5 | go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we will | try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even |
| W1:68.9 | world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return. | Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding |
| W1:68.9 | feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding you up. | Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any |
| W1:69.4 | Very quietly now, with your eyes closed, | try to let go of all the content which generally occupies your |
| W1:69.6 | importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the world, | try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much |
| W1:69.8 | indeed be sure that it is given you, and you will yet receive it. | Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold |
| W1:69.8 | the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind. | Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's. Try |
| W1:69.8 | Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's. | Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with |
| W1:70.12 | Now we will | try again to reach the light in you, which is where your salvation |
| W1:70.13 | when you could so easily walk on into the light of real salvation. | Try to pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. If it helps |
| W1:71.15 | Try to remember the idea for today some six or seven times an hour. | |
| W1:72.8 | is the universal belief of the world you see. Some hate the body and | try to hurt and humiliate it. Others love the body and try to glorify |
| W1:72.8 | the body and try to hurt and humiliate it. Others love the body and | try to glorify and exalt it. But while it stands at the center of |
| W1:72.9 | We will | try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try |
| W1:72.9 | will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will | try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been |
| W1:72.9 | from your awareness by the body's limitations. Now we are going to | try to see this differently. |
| W1:72.11 | therefore attacking what we do not recognize. Now we are going to | try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan for us is: |
| W1:73.4 | Today we will | try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your |
| W1:74.2 | rise to illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us | try to recognize this today and experience the peace this recognition |
| W1:74.11 | After you have cleared your mind in this way, close your eyes and | try to experience the peace to which your reality entitles you. Sink |
| W1:74.12 | slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for today and | try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is definite gain in |
| W1:74.15 | Then | try to find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, |
| W1:79.7 | the answer to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will | try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems |
| W1:79.7 | the many different kinds of problems that we think we have. We will | try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to |
| W1:79.12 | Then | try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is. If possible, |
| W1:R2.2 | listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your mind wandering, but | try to spend the major part of the practice period listening quietly |
| W1:87.5 | can become afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I | try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack |
| W1:87.5 | another will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I | try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. |
| W1:91.5 | today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you | try to leave your weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply, |
| W1:91.12 | In the second phase of the exercise period, | try to experience these truths about yourself. Concentrate |
| W1:91.12 | you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. | Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You will |
| W1:92.9 | stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we | try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your |
| W1:93.11 | created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. | Try to experience the unity of your One Self. Try to appreciate its |
| W1:93.11 | 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 | to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was created. | Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you by hiding |
| W1:93.12 | able to use the first five minutes of each hour for these exercises. | Try, however, to do so when you can. At least remember to repeat |
| W1:93.14 | Then | try to devote at least a minute or so to closing your eyes and |
| W1:94.5 | Now | try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never |
| W1:95.3 | Self, which is united with its Creator. In patience and in hope we | try again today. |
| W1:95.8 | a refusal to let your mistakes be corrected and an unwillingness to | try again. |
| W1:95.12 | and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and | try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only |
| W1:95.19 | all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will | try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do |
| W1:96.2 | fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you | try, what means you use, and where you see the problem, must be |
| W1:97.3 | Today we | try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you |
| W1:99.9 | yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today. | Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for these are words in |
| W1:100.9 | Now let us | try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will |
| W1:101.4 | way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he | try to listen and accept Its offering? If sin is real, its offering |
| W1:102.2 | Today we | try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize that |
| W1:103.3 | This basic error we will | try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves: |
| W1:105.1 | Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will | try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They are |
| W1:107.2 | what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel? | Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even |
| W1:107.2 | your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then | try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended |
| W1:110.8 | Then, with this statement firmly in your mind, | try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God |
| W1:R3.8 | minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be done, at least | try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning and the other |
| W1:R3.11 | little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but | try to keep the thought with you and let it serve to help you keep |
| W1:R3.12 | ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. | Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it |
| W1:121.9 | does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will | try to learn today that they are one through practicing forgiving |
| W1:121.10 | in you if you should meet him; one you actively despise or merely | try to overlook. It does not matter what the form your anger takes. |
| W1:121.11 | Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while. | Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a little gleam which |
| W1:121.11 | light in him somewhere—a little gleam which you had never noticed. | Try to find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly |
| W1:121.11 | at this picture till you see a light somewhere within it, and then | try to let this light extend until it covers him and makes the |
| W1:121.12 | perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you call a friend. | Try to transfer the light you learned to see around your former |
| W1:126.8 | Today we | try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You |
| W1:131.5 | and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot seek vainly, though he | try to force delay, deceive himself, and think that it is hell he |
| W1:131.9 | the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not | try longer to impose an alien will upon God's single purpose. He is |
| W1:131.15 | Seek for that door and find it. But before you | try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the |
| W1:133.2 | not attempt to take from you the little that you have. It does not | try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the world |
| W1:135.28 | Try not to shape this day as you believe would benefit you most. For | |
| W1:140.7 | Let us not | try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must |
| W1:140.8 | seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will | try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds |
| W1:168.1 | to Him? He is not distant. He makes no attempt to hide from us. We | try to hide from Him and suffer from deception. He remains entirely |
| W1:169.7 | This is beyond experience we | try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it |
| W1:R5.15 | that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and | try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far |
| W1:R5.15 | that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and | try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond |
| W1:182.2 | No one but knows whereof we speak. Yet some | try to put by their suffering in games they play to occupy their time |
| W1:185.7 | another dream be given us. They do not ask for compromise nor | try to make another bargain in the hope that there may yet be one |
| W1:187.4 | this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you | try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the |
| W1:193.14 | to peace in just one day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not | try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another instant. |
| W1:193.16 | the lesson in forgiveness in the form established for the day. And | try to give it application to the happenings the hour brought, so |
| W1:195.1 | they can do is see themselves as better off than others. And they | try to be content because another seems to suffer more than they. How |
| W1:195.3 | Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but | try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as |
| W1:196.12 | should, for it is your release. It is indeed but you your mind can | try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, will come from you. |
| W2:242.1 | lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world. And so to | try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness. For there is One |
| W2:246.1 | I can find the way 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 |
| W2:250.1 | me behold the Son of God today and witness to his glory. Let me not | try to obscure the holy light in him and see his strength diminished |
| W2:277.1 | to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by which I | try to make the body more secure. He is not changed by what is |
| W2:307.1 | and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not | try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. |
| W2:327.2 | in my experience if I but test them out. Let me attempt therefore to | try them and to judge them not. Your word is one with You. You give |
| M:4.17 | They have no dreams that need defense against the truth. They do not | try to make themselves. Their joy comes from their understanding Who |
| M:6.1 | depression, and a sense of loss so deep that the patient might even | try to destroy himself. Having nothing to live for, he may ask for |
| M:10.6 | not difficult to relinquish judgment. But it is difficult indeed to | try to keep it. The teacher of God lays it down happily the instant |
| M:11.2 | about the world, and things so opposite that it is pointless to | try to reconcile them. God offers the world salvation; your judgment |
| M:16.8 | the time when his mind is occupied with external things? He can but | try, and his success depends on his conviction that he will succeed. |

| Tx:2.42 | A two-way defense is inherently weak precisely because it has | two edges and can turn against the self very unexpectedly. This |
| Tx:2.48 | the investment in physical sight. The alternating investment in the | two types or levels of perception is usually experienced as conflict |

| Tx:2.54 | ability in matter which the mind cannot control. This error can take | two forms—it can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the |
| Tx:2.76 | the will to do conflicts with what you do. This situation arises in | two ways: |

| Tx:5.5 | Healing is an act of thought by which | two minds perceive their oneness and become glad. This gladness calls |

| Tx:6.20 | There are | two glaring examples of upside-down thinking in the New Testament, |
| Tx:6.75 | The way out of conflict between | two opposing thought systems is clearly to choose one and relinquish |
| Tx:6.75 | your thought system, and you cannot escape this, and if you accept | two thought systems which are in complete disagreement, peace of mind |
| Tx:7.11 | believed in. The laws of mind govern thoughts, and you do respond to | two conflicting voices. You have heard many arguments on behalf of |
| Tx:7.17 | better. You will not understand His translations while you listen to | two ways of perceiving them. Therefore, you must forget or relinquish |
| Tx:7.20 | either maximal motivation or no motivation at all. Only in these | two conditions can you validly compare responses, and you must assume |
| Tx:7.49 | undo the change his ego thinks it has made in him. As you can hear | two voices, so you can see in two ways. One way shows you an image, |

| Tx:11.65 | in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you see in. | Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your |
| Tx:11.66 | seeking. Yet seeking and finding are the same, and if you seek for | two goals you will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you |
| Tx:11.68 | leads directly to dissociation, for it represents the acceptance of | two goals, each perceived in a different place, separated from each |
| Tx:12.33 | We have said that you have but | two emotions, love and fear. One is changeless but continually |
| Tx:12.37 | You have but | two emotions, yet in your private world you react to each of them as |
| Tx:12.43 | You have but | two emotions, and one you made and one was given you. Each is a way |
| Tx:12.68 | because of Him, the answer is a joyous yes! As Mediator between the | two worlds, He knows what you have need of and what will not hurt |
| Tx:14.22 | to those who would communicate as truly with you. You speak | two languages at once, and this must lead to unintelligibility. Yet |
| Tx:14.27 | is. Dissociation is a distorted process of thinking whereby | two systems of belief which cannot coexist are both maintained. It |
| Tx:14.52 | only judgment involved at all is the Holy Spirit's one division into | two categories—one of love and the other the call for love. You |
| Tx:14.54 | chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when | two or more join together in searching for truth, the ego can no |
| Tx:14.56 | and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these | two orders of thought. |
| Tx:15.98 | And so the ego seems to demand less of you than God, and of the | two is judged as the lesser of two evils, one to be feared a little, |
| Tx:15.98 | less of you than God, and of the two is judged as the lesser of | two evils, one to be feared a little, but the other to be destroyed. |
| Tx:16.13 | whenever you have reached another mind and joined with it. When | two minds join as one and share one idea equally, the first link in |
| Tx:16.26 | You are not | two selves in conflict. What is beyond God? If you who hold Him and |

| Tx:16.62 | join each other in separate unions and to become one by losing. When | two individuals seek to become one, they are trying to decrease their |
| Tx:17.2 | it to “evil,” it also makes it unreal. You cannot be faithful to | two masters who ask of you conflicting things. What you use in |
| Tx:17.38 | Two gifts are offered you. Each is complete and cannot be partially | |
| Tx:17.47 | is experienced as very precarious. A relationship undertaken by | two individuals for their unholy purposes suddenly has holiness for |
| Tx:17.47 | their unholy purposes suddenly has holiness for its goal. As these | two contemplate their relationship from the point of view of this new |
| Tx:18.30 | your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past fear, for no | two minds can join in the desire for love without love's joining them. |
| Tx:18.32 | He does not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him and confuse the | two. He asks but little. It is He who adds the greatness and the |
| Tx:19.50 | respectfully before their lord and master. Perception cannot obey | two masters, each asking for messages of different things in |
| Tx:20.33 | the whole completed without your part. The ark of peace is entered | two by two, yet the beginning of another world goes with them. Each |

| Tx:20.38 | end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. | Two voices raised together call to the hearts of everyone and let |
| Tx:20.75 | Only | two purposes are possible. And one is sin, the other holiness. |
| Tx:21.2 | of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between these | two decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made |
| Tx:21.25 | effects. Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse the | two is merely to fail to understand them both. |
| Tx:22.1 | joined have come together and need no longer look on sin apart. No | two can look on sin together, for they could never see it in the same |
| Tx:22.11 | given there, nor was received by anything except yourself. For no | two people can unite except through Christ, Whose vision sees them |
| Tx:23.9 | the same, and they are nothing. Their joining lies in nothingness; | two are as meaningless as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with |
| Tx:23.12 | The war against yourself is but the battle of | two illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in |
| Tx:23.13 | One illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of | two illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor, |
| Tx:23.14 | Conflict must be between | two forces. It cannot exist between one power and nothingness. There |
| Tx:23.14 | could attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make | two illusions of yourself in conflict with each other. And this |
| Tx:24.29 | be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the | two can ever be the same while specialness stands like a flaming |
| Tx:24.60 | the power of God maintaining it and promising success. Yet of the | two, it is this one you find more difficult. The “sacrifice” of self |
| Tx:24.72 | And thus are | two sons made, and both appear to walk this earth without a |
| Tx:25.25 | has but one law because it has but one Creator. But this world has | two who made it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a |
| Tx:25.29 | What then is justified? What do you want? For these | two questions are the same. And when you see them as the same, your |
| Tx:25.29 | is seeing them as one that brings release from the belief there are | two ways to see. This world has much to offer to your peace and many |
| Tx:26.24 | them and to make them different. [How simple is the choice between | two things so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No |
| Tx:26.30 | to the gate of Heaven. Nothing in between is possible. There are | two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you will go along |
| Tx:26.30 | you will go along the way your chosen teacher leads. There are but | two directions you can take while time remains and choice is |
| Tx:26.52 | 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 opposing powers |
| Tx:26.52 | Will be split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws of | two opposing powers until God becomes impatient, splits the world |
| Tx:27.14 | brother, you have injured me, and yet because I am the better of the | two, I pardon you my hurt.” His pardon and your hurt cannot exist |
| Tx:27.24 | seem divided, with a half in opposition to a half. And these | two halves appear to represent a split within a self perceived as |
| Tx:27.24 | two halves appear to represent a split within a self perceived as | two.] |
| Tx:27.25 | is its purpose, being what it really is. From an idea of self as | two, there comes a necessary view of function split between the two. |
| Tx:27.25 | as two, there comes a necessary view of function split between the | two. And what you would correct is only half the error, which you |
| Tx:27.50 | forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete within | two situations which are seen as one, for only common elements are |
| Tx:27.70 | as they are and where they are. What choices can be made between | two states, but one of which is clearly recognized? Who could be free |
| Tx:28.52 | It is not made of little bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or | two perhaps, all put together to attest its truth. Reality does not |
| Tx:28.62 | between, no other choice, and no allegiance to be split between the | two. A split allegiance is but faithlessness to both and merely sets |
| 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:29.49 | make complete what is within by splitting what you are between the | two. You choose your dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as |

| Tx:30.48 | and Son joined in creation which can have no end. You have not | two realities, but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An |
| Tx:31.7 | The lessons to be learned are only | two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world |
| Tx:31.14 | is given you. You would establish truth. And by your wish, you set | two choices to be made each time you think you must decide on |
| Tx:31.15 | yourself divided into both these roles, forever split between the | two. And every friend or enemy becomes a means to help you save |
| Tx:31.17 | as easily as death, for what you choose, you choose as well for him. | Two calls you make to him, as he to you. Between these two is choice |
| Tx:31.17 | well for him. Two calls you make to him, as he to you. Between these | two is choice because from them there is a different outcome. If he |
| Tx:31.44 | is not the thing that it appears to be. For it is made to serve | two purposes, but one of which the mind can recognize. The first |
| Tx:31.52 | the concept's foolishness and merely think of this—there are | two parts to what you think yourself to be. If one was generated by |
| Tx:31.62 | flesh or recognize the Spirit. There is no compromise between the | two. If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies |
| Tx:31.81 | is, and see the real alternatives you choose between. There are but | two. Be not deceived by what appears as many choices. There is hell |
| W1:I.3 | perception of everything in the world. The workbook is divided into | two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of what you see now |
| W1:6.4 | some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the | two cautions stated in the previous lesson: |
| W1:9.1 | This idea obviously follows from the | two preceding ones. But while you may be able to accept it |
| W1:23.5 | be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The first | two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final one |
| W1:23.5 | not. Your images have already been replaced. By taking the first | two steps, you will see that this is so. |
| W1:24.3 | be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large number. | Two minutes are suggested for each of the mind searching periods |
| W1:25.6 | Six practice periods, each of | two minutes duration, are required. Each practice period should begin |
| W1:26.5 | Six practice periods are required in applying today's idea. A full | two minutes should be attempted for each of them, although the time |
| W1:28.7 | We will have six | two minute practice periods today in which the idea for the day is |
| W1:31.1 | with changes as indicated. Generally speaking, the form includes | two aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more sustained |
| W1:31.2 | Two longer periods of practice with the idea for today are needed, | |
| W1:31.2 | During that time, look about you slowly while repeating the idea | two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea to |
| W1:32.2 | them as different, the practice periods for today will again include | two phases, one involving the world you see outside you and the other |
| W1:32.3 | periods for the morning and evening by repeating the idea for today | two or three times while looking around at the world you see as |
| W1:32.4 | For the | two longer practice periods, three to five minutes are recommended, |
| W1:37.8 | who are in your thoughts; or you may use any combination of these | two phases of application which you prefer. The practice period |
| W1:42.1 | The idea for today combines | two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets |
| W1:42.3 | We will have | two three- to five-minute longer exercise periods today, one as soon |
| W1:45.12 | the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or | two as you repeat the idea throughout the day to appreciate your |
| W1:46.3 | as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a minute or | two in searching your mind for those whom you have not forgiven. It |
| W1:47.4 | and begin as usual by repeating today's idea. Then spend a minute or | two in searching for situations in your life which you have invested |
| W1:R1.2 | them, though each one should be practiced at least once. Devote | two minutes or more to each practice period, thinking about the idea |
| W1:61.5 | be undertaken today, although each one need not exceed a minute or | two. They should begin with telling yourself: |
| W1:61.8 | as you reaffirm your function and your only purpose here. These | two practice periods may be longer than the rest if you find them |
| W1:62.7 | Then devote a minute or | two to considering your function and the happiness and release it |
| W1:63.5 | find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in the minute or | two which you should devote to considering this. Do not, however, |
| W1:64.11 | Two forms of shorter practice periods are required. At times, do the | |
| W1:65.1 | acceptance of salvation as your only function necessarily entails | two phases: the recognition of salvation as your function and the |
| W1:66.7 | if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the first | two thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, |
| W1:66.9 | God has given you your function. We have seen that there are only | two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the ego and is made up of |
| W1:70.7 | We are ready for | two longer practice periods today, each of which should last some ten |
| W1:71.6 | Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow | two plans for salvation which are diametrically opposed in all ways. |
| W1:71.9 | Begin the | two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, |
| W1:71.9 | today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains | two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan |
| W1:72.18 | One or perhaps | two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today since |
| W1:74.15 | Then try to find what you are seeking. A minute or | two every half-hour, with eyes closed if possible, would be well |
| W1:R2.1 | review. We will begin where our last review left off and cover | two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to |
| W1:96.1 | Although you are One Self, you experience yourself as | two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This |
| W1:96.3 | no meaning cannot be resolved within the framework they are set. | Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have |
| W1:96.3 | 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. |
| W1:96.4 | A mind and body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the | two, for one denies the other can be real. If you are physical, your |
| W1:98.1 | with truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the | two but take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to |
| W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins today. We will review | two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We |
| W1:R3.10 | by between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily | two ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use one on the hour |
| W1:130.5 | day in seeking not what cannot be found. It is impossible to see | two worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the one; the |
| W1:130.6 | would learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see | two worlds. It also teaches that the one you see is quite consistent |
| W1:130.9 | It is impossible to see | two worlds. Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value |
| W1:130.13 | It is impossible to see | two worlds. I seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part |
| W1:131.8 | its own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make | two minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one and earth the |

| M:3.2 | Even at the level of the most casual encounter, it is possible for | two people to lose sight of separate interests, if only for a moment. |
