| Tx:9.67 | Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep but only the will to | waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you will want |
| Tx:13.44 | himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad call to | waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. |

| Tx:3.53 | of the creation. Man can do this if he chooses, but he would hardly | want to do it if he were in his right mind. The problem that bothers |
| Tx:4.7 | he offers his ideas. Many stand guard over their ideas because they | want to protect their thought systems as they are, and learning means |
| Tx:4.12 | itself once you have made it, but it is not natural for you to | want to obey its laws unless you believe in them. The ego cannot make |
| Tx:4.50 | enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but it must | want it truly. This means that it wants it without ambivalence, and |
| Tx:4.56 | behavior is either strained or unpredictable. Yet this is what you | want. This is what you are fighting to keep and what you are vigilant |
| Tx:4.59 | arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you | want and do not have. Know you are deprived of nothing except by your |
| Tx:4.73 | values in this world are hierarchical, and not everything you may | want to learn has lasting value. |
| Tx:4.74 | Indeed, many of the things you | want to learn are chosen because their value will not last. The ego |
| Tx:4.88 | impulses, not because the ego is a separate thing, but because you | want to believe that you are. The ego is a device for maintaining |
| Tx:4.90 | the little gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I | want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your |
| Tx:4.93 | pattern is broken. You are still free to choose, but can you really | want the rewards of the ego in the presence of the rewards of God? |
| Tx:4.99 | nevertheless created beings who have everything individually but who | want to share it to increase their joy. Nothing that is real can be |
| Tx:4.101 | returned to Him, which would clearly be impossible, but He does | want revelation brought to others. This cannot be done with the |
| Tx:5.3 | beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere. You should | want to bless them in return out of gratitude. You do not have to |
| Tx:5.53 | without protest. It means that you cannot be hurt and do not | want to show your brother anything except your wholeness. Show him |
| Tx:5.55 | You are more than your brother's keeper. In fact, you do not | want to keep him. You must learn to see him as he is and know that he |
| Tx:5.66 | it wants, just as you can. That is why the question, “What do you | want?” must be answered. You are answering it every minute and every |
| Tx:5.68 | They also show that you believe you can think apart from God and | want to. Every thought disorder is attended by guilt at its inception |
| Tx:5.92 | side with its separateness. This willingness means that you do not | want to be healed. |
| Tx:5.96 | I can also decide otherwise. I will to decide otherwise, because I | want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:6.8 | offered a different interpretation of attack and one which I do | want to share with you. If you will believe it, you will help me to |
| Tx:6.9 | persecution. This is not a lesson which the Sons of God should | want to teach if they are to realize their own salvation. Rather, |
| Tx:6.22 | to follow me at the time. I emphasize this only because I do not | want you to allow any fear to enter into the thought system toward |
| Tx:6.28 | by excluding something [you think] exists in you which you do not | want and leads directly to excluding you from your brothers. We have |
| Tx:6.33 | is not in perfect alignment with the idea and therefore does not | want it now. |
| Tx:6.64 | It is a real foundation stone of the thought system I teach and | want you to teach. You cannot perform miracles without believing it, |
| Tx:6.75 | accept both, you are teaching conflict and learning it. Yet you do | want peace, or you would not have called upon the Voice for Peace to |
| Tx:6.79 | reversal. The second step is a positive affirmation of what you | want. This, then, is a step in the direction out of conflict since it |
| Tx:6.84 | teach your mind to be critical of other minds, because He does not | want you to teach errors and learn them yourselves. He would hardly |
| Tx:6.90 | getting. Next you learn that you learn what you teach and that you | want to learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the |
| Tx:6.95 | The third step, then, is a statement of what you | want to believe and entails a willingness to relinquish everything |
| Tx:6.95 | you to go on if you follow Him. Your vigilance is the sign that you | want Him to guide you. Vigilance does require effort, but only to |
| Tx:7.21 | are potentials for learning, and you will apply them to what you | want to learn. Learning is effort, and effort means will. We have |
| Tx:7.22 | The ego does not | want to teach everyone all it has learned, because that would defeat |
| Tx:7.37 | it has this ability and can offer it to you as a gift. You do not | want it. It is not a gift. It is nothing at all. God has given you a |
| Tx:7.50 | and perfect joy that is the Kingdom lies in you to give. Do you not | want to give it? |
| Tx:7.51 | into theirs and enlighten them, as I can enlighten yours. I do not | want to share my body in communion, because that is to share nothing. |
| Tx:7.51 | with the most holy children of a most holy Father?] Yet I do | want to share my mind with you, because we are of One Mind and that |
| Tx:7.58 | one who has everything wants the ego. Its own maker, then, does not | want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision which the ego could |
| Tx:7.60 | exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit does not | want you to understand conflict; He wants you to realize that, |
| Tx:7.63 | without splitting them. If they cannot coexist in peace and if you | want peace, you must give up the idea of conflict entirely and for |
| Tx:7.67 | means that you have not judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you | want something else, you will make something else, but because it is |
| Tx:7.72 | you make is determined by what you think you are, and what you | want to be is what you think you are. Therefore, what you want to be |
| Tx:7.72 | what you want to be is what you think you are. Therefore, what you | want to be determines every response you make. |
| Tx:7.73 | they were made together. Teach no one that he is what you would not | want to be. Your brother is the mirror in which you will see the |
| Tx:7.74 | You made perception, and it must last as long as you | want it. Illusions are investments. They will last as long as you |
| Tx:7.78 | unless you perceived it as a means of depriving you of something you | want. Yet you cannot lose anything unless you did not value it and |
| Tx:7.78 | lose anything unless you did not value it and therefore did not | want it. This makes you feel deprived of it, and by projecting your |
| Tx:7.82 | law is perceived as a way of getting rid of something it does not | want. To the Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by |
| Tx:7.84 | devising ways which seem to diminish conflict, because it does not | want you to find conflict so intolerable that you will insist on |
| Tx:7.85 | fallacy is the idea that you can get rid of something you do not | want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that |
| Tx:7.98 | possibly maintain it. If you really saw this result, you could not | want it. The only reason why you could possibly want any part of it |
| Tx:7.98 | you could not want it. The only reason why you could possibly | want any part of it is because you do not see the whole of it. You |
| Tx:7.100 | is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but whether you | want to listen to what He says. |
| Tx:7.103 | your strength. As long as you avoid His guidance in any way, you | want to be weak. Yet weakness is frightening. What else, then, can |
| Tx:7.103 | frightening. What else, then, can this decision mean except that you | want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the |
| Tx:8.3 | to evaluate them in terms of their results to you. If you do not | want them on the basis of loss of peace, they will be removed from |
| Tx:8.5 | of learning failure since it means that you did not get what you | want. The curriculum of the Atonement is the opposite of the |
| Tx:8.5 | its outcome. If the outcome of yours has made you unhappy and if you | want a different one, a change in the curriculum is obviously |
| Tx:8.11 | The ego wants to teach you that you | want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, |

| Tx:8.29 | you must accept it from within. The guidance must [become] what you | want, or it will be meaningless to you. That is why rehabilitation is |
| Tx:8.32 | will its power, which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you | want to be like me, I will help you, knowing that we are alike. If |
| Tx:8.32 | to be like me, I will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you | want to be different, I will wait until you change your mind. I can |
| Tx:8.35 | they prefer the delusion. Judging truth as something they do not | want, they perceive deception and block knowledge. |
| Tx:8.41 | I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore for my hand, because you | want to transcend the ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you |
| Tx:8.41 | want to transcend the ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you | want to share it you will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I |
| Tx:8.45 | God wants only His Son because His Son is His only treasure. You | want your creations as He wants His. Your creations are your gift to |
| Tx:8.46 | else and expect joy in return? And what else but joy would you | want? You made neither yourself nor your function. You made only the |
| Tx:8.49 | There is no question but one you should ever ask of yourself: “Do I | want to know my Father's Will for me?” He will not hide it. He has |
| Tx:8.53 | it simply by the belief that attack can get you something you | want. If you did not believe this, the idea of attack would have no |
| Tx:8.68 | lie your only hope for release. But what other hope would you | want? Freedom from illusions lies only in not believing them. There |
| Tx:8.73 | you do not realize that it is entirely out of keeping with what you | want. This witness, then, appears to be innocent and trustworthy, |
| Tx:8.74 | A more honest statement would be as follows: Those who | want the ego are predisposed to defend it. Therefore, their choice of |
| Tx:8.78 | Have you seriously considered the distorting power of something you | want, even if it is not true? You have had many instances of how what |
| Tx:8.78 | even if it is not true? You have had many instances of how what you | want can distort what you see and hear. No one can doubt the ego's |
| Tx:8.92 | something quite beyond your awareness with something you do not | want. It is evident, then, that you are judging something of which |
| Tx:8.92 | is. The purpose of this Guide is merely to remind you of what you | want. He is not attempting to force an alien will upon you. He is |
| Tx:8.95 | How sensible can your messages be when you ask for what you do not | want? Yet as long as you are afraid of your will, this is precisely |
| Tx:8.96 | You do not ask only for what you | want. This is solely because you are afraid you might receive it, and |
| Tx:8.98 | Many people seek both, but it is still true that they do not | want them. Can you ask the Holy Spirit for “gifts” such as these and |
| Tx:8.98 | God. His task is not to make anything for you.] He cannot make you | want something you do not want. When you ask the Universal Giver for |
| Tx:8.98 | make anything for you.] He cannot make you want something you do not | want. When you ask the Universal Giver for what you do not want, you |
| Tx:8.98 | do not want. When you ask the Universal Giver for what you do not | want, you are asking for what cannot be given, because it was never |
| Tx:8.99 | without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God is Love, and you do | want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered |
| Tx:8.103 | can be made into a very persistent goal, even though you do not | want it. But consider the result of this strange decision. You are |
| Tx:8.103 | this strange decision. You are devoting your mind to what you do not | want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was |
| Tx:8.103 | what you do not want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not | want it, it was never created. If it was never created, it is |
| Tx:8.108 | then, that what you request of the Holy Spirit is what you really | want, but you are still afraid of it. Should this be the case, your |
| Tx:8.108 | this be the case, your attainment of it would no longer be what you | want, even if it is. This accounts for why certain specific forms of |
| Tx:8.112 | your brother what you would have me hear of you, for you would not | want me to be deceived. |
| Tx:8.116 | receive. Valuing it little, you will not appreciate it and will not | want it. |
| Tx:8.117 | you put upon it. And this, in turn, is the measure of how much you | want it. |
| Tx:8.118 | to have His answer because His answer is all you can ask for and | want. Say, then, to everyone, |
| Tx:9.5 | perceive his errors and accept them, you are accepting yours. If you | want to give yours over to the Holy Spirit, you must do this with |
| Tx:9.8 | eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to learn to | want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the Holy |
| Tx:9.37 | understanding. Could you but accept one of them, you would not | want anything the world has to offer. Everything else would be |
| Tx:9.47 | nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you | want in these terms and accept nothing that you would not offer to |
| Tx:9.47 | you would not offer to God as wholly fitting for Him, for you do not | want anything else. Return your part of Him, and He will give you all |
| Tx:9.49 | this belief, grandiosity is meaningless, and you could not possibly | want it. The essence of grandiosity is competitiveness, because it |
| Tx:9.53 | upon your grandeur, you cannot despair, and therefore you cannot | want the ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the ego because it is |
| Tx:9.67 | to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you will | want only truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours. |
| Tx:9.73 | it only because you still believe that it can get you something you | want. It follows, then, that you want something other than peace of |
| Tx:9.73 | that it can get you something you want. It follows, then, that you | want something other than peace of mind, but you have not considered |
| Tx:9.78 | thought system and judge whether its offering is really what you | want, for this is what it offers you. To obtain this you are willing |
| Tx:9.89 | What you have made is so unworthy of you that you could hardly | want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You will see nothing |
| Tx:9.94 | You will receive the message you give, because it is the message you | want. You may believe that you judge your brothers by the messages |
| Tx:9.95 | keep the gods you made, for only in sickness could you possibly | want them. Blasphemy, then, is self-destructive, not God-destructive. |
| Tx:10.13 | to conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what you do not | want to give and thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, who |
| Tx:10.13 | of you what you do not want to give and thus deprive you of what you | want. Would God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your |
| Tx:10.14 | and fear arises here because this is the belief that makes you | want not to know. Believing this, you hide in darkness, denying that |
| Tx:10.16 | and be healed is the first step toward recognizing what you truly | want. Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing |
| Tx:10.20 | needs your protection, but only because your care is a sign that you | want Him. Think like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark |
| Tx:10.39 | have the lamp that will dispel it, and since you realize you do not | want it, you must be ready. Let us be very calm in doing this, for we |
| Tx:10.58 | on what you perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of what you | want to perceive and of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen |
| Tx:10.58 | Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you | want to be true. Every brother has the power to release you if you |
| Tx:10.64 | whole compelling power lies in the fact that it represents what you | want to be. The freedom to leave behind everything that hurts you and |
| Tx:10.78 | Do I | want the problem, or do I want the answer? |
| Tx:10.78 | Do I want the problem, or do I | want the answer? |
| Tx:10.85 | to accept this Help by asking for it, you will give it because you | want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing |
| Tx:11.1 | to make error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you | want to believe in error, you would have to make it real because it |
| Tx:11.8 | you will be healed. For you will recognize God's answer as you | want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it will be truly yours. |
| Tx:11.8 | For you will 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 |
| Tx:11.19 | You still | want what God wills, and no nightmare can defeat a Child of God in |
| Tx:11.23 | at learning how to offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not | want. He knows what to do with it. You do not know how to use what He |
| Tx:11.25 | a brother insists on having you do something you think you do not | want to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he |
| Tx:11.33 | without meaning of any kind. For it was made out of what you do not | want, projected from your mind because you were afraid of it. |
| Tx:11.55 | You do not | want the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it |
| Tx:11.66 | recognize neither. For you will think they are the same because you | want them both. The mind always strives for integration, and if it is |
| Tx:11.67 | behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you | want in yourself, you will make manifest by projection, and you will |
| Tx:11.68 | When you think you are projecting what you do not | want, it is still because you do want it. This leads directly to |
| Tx:11.68 | you are projecting what you do not want, it is still because you do | want it. This leads directly to dissociation, for it represents the |
| Tx:11.68 | healed is to pursue one goal because you have accepted only one and | want but one. |
| Tx:11.69 | When you | want only love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of |
| Tx:11.72 | nor hear the answer which you sought. That is because you do not yet | want only that. Yet as I become more real to you, you will learn that |
| Tx:11.72 | that. Yet as I become more real to you, you will learn that you do | want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we will |
| Tx:11.75 | because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you believe that you | want death. And from what you want, God does not save you. |
| Tx:11.75 | with the ego, you believe that you want death. And from what you | want, God does not save you. |
| Tx:11.98 | but by identifying with the ego could you hold dear what you do not | want? |
| Tx:12.5 | but you have not uncovered its source. For the ego does | want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must believe its |
| Tx:12.8 | the futility of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not | want the ego, you do not look upon the alternative with gladness. You |
| Tx:12.12 | wish caused the separation. You have protected it because you do not | want the separation healed, and you realize that, by removing the |
| Tx:12.12 | and burning love of God, and His for you. This is what you really | want to hide. |
| Tx:12.61 | You do not really | want the world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began. |
| Tx:12.62 | rise to it from every part of this strange world you made but do not | want. The only effort you need make to give this world away in glad |
| Tx:12.67 | then awaken to it. Your first exchange of what you made for what you | want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of love. In |
| Tx:12.72 | journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really | want and say, |
| Tx:13.40 | you will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you | want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your |
| Tx:13.42 | joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may believe you | want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep peace in |
| Tx:13.65 | an escape from what the other does not offer you. You do not | want either alone, for without both, you do not see yourselves as |
| Tx:13.69 | you will think he does. It is impossible to offer what you do not | want without this penalty. The cost of giving is receiving. Either it |
| Tx:13.73 | they will fail to understand the simple fact that what they do not | want must hurt them. |
| Tx:13.74 | All this arises because they do not believe that what they | want is good. Yet will was given them because it is holy and will |
| Tx:13.74 | effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they | want and need alone. |
| Tx:13.88 | this is your only function, and you must learn that it is all you | want to learn. |
| Tx:13.91 | against your function in Heaven and consider carefully whether you | want to make decisions here. Your function here is only to decide |
| Tx:13.91 | here. Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you | want in recognition that you do not know. How, then, can you decide |
| Tx:14.24 | What do you | want? Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not |
| Tx:14.27 | on bringing what is undesirable to the desirable; what you do not | want to what you do. You will realize that salvation must come to you |
| Tx:14.62 | to Him Who teaches light He will accept from you because you do not | want it. And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson |
| Tx:14.64 | You need only recognize that everything you learned you do not | want. Ask to be taught and do not use your experiences to confirm |
| Tx:14.73 | them can really learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they | want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace will depart |
| Tx:14.74 | If you | want peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of |
| Tx:15.35 | Will is so. The holy instant is this one and every one. The one you | want it to be it is. The one you would not have it be is lost to you. |
| Tx:15.35 | Yet you cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not | want it, for it holds the whole release from littleness. |
| Tx:15.36 | littleness instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you | want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find |
| Tx:15.38 | conditions. You can claim the holy instant any time and anywhere you | want it. In your practice, try to give over every plan you have |
| Tx:15.42 | communication holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I | want to have perfect communication, and am I wholly willing to let |
| Tx:15.71 | In these insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not | want seems to be much stronger than the attraction of what you do. |
| Tx:15.85 | permanent. For once you have accepted it as the only perception you | want, it is translated into knowledge by the part which God Himself |
| Tx:15.86 | to recognize as wholly without gratification what you think you | want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of |
| Tx:15.91 | of this relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever | want. All truth is here. |
| Tx:15.95 | but as different manifestations of the same idea, and one you do not | want, they go together. The idea is simply this—you believe that it |
| Tx:15.109 | with Him they remember the only relationship they ever had and ever | want to have. |
| Tx:15.111 | Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released, unless I | want to use you to imprison myself. In the name of my freedom I will |
| Tx:16.3 | Your part is only to remember this—you do not | want anything you value to come of the relationship. You will neither |
| Tx:16.16 | No evidence will convince you of the truth of what you do not | want. Yet your relationship with Him is real and has been |
| Tx:16.49 | no extension. Each partner tries to sacrifice the self he does not | want for one he thinks he would prefer. And he feels guilty for the |
| Tx:16.52 | perceived the special relationship as a triumph over God, would you | want it? Let us not think of its fearful nature nor of the guilt it |
| Tx:16.54 | has triumphed over content and love has lost its meaning. Would you | want this to be possible, even apart from its evident impossibility? |
| Tx:16.55 | and His greatness. In the name of your completion, you do not | want this. For every idol which you raise to place before Him stands |
| Tx:16.56 | they are, and 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, |
| Tx:16.71 | it has not gone because you think it serves some purpose that you | want fulfilled. And it must also be that this purpose could not be |
| Tx:17.13 | How much do you | want salvation? It will give you the real world, trembling with |
| Tx:17.21 | the relationship so you can see it more and more. For you will | want it more and more and become increasingly unwilling to let it be |
| Tx:17.58 | uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I | want to come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the goal |
| Tx:17.58 | know what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it does not | want, but only that. It has no positive goal at all. |
| Tx:17.60 | The value of deciding in advance what you | want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a |
| Tx:17.76 | Would you not | want to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift |
| Tx:18.17 | are perceptual temper tantrums in which you literally scream, “I | want it thus!” And thus it seems to be. And yet the dream cannot |
| Tx:18.18 | power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you | want it, you see it. And while you see it, you do not doubt that it |
| Tx:18.32 | prepare your minds for it only to the extent of recognizing that you | want it above all else. It is not necessary that you do more; indeed, |
| Tx:18.44 | must be loving. Their message is, “Thy will be done,” and not, “I | want it otherwise.” The alignment of means and purpose is an |
| Tx:18.54 | impossible to act out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you | want, and they have nothing to do with what the body does. It does |
| Tx:18.62 | It is possible because you | want it. The sudden expansion of the self which takes place with your |
| Tx:19.25 | As an essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you will always | want it. And only an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp |
| Tx:19.26 | and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is real you | want and will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is not |
| Tx:19.26 | other hand, is not attractive. What you see clearly as a mistake you | want corrected. |
| Tx:19.41 | Why would you | want peace homeless? What do you think that it must dispossess to |
| Tx:19.57 | be the symbol of sin while you believe that it can get you what you | want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also |
| Tx:19.63 | but barriers you place between your will and its accomplishment? You | want communion, not the feast of fear. You want salvation, not the |
| Tx:19.63 | its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of fear. You | want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not |
| Tx:19.63 | feast of fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you | want your Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In |
| Tx:19.73 | it has no feeling. It transmits to you the feelings that you | want. Like any communication medium, the body receives and sends the |
| Tx:20.39 | It will be given you to see your brother's worth when all you | want for him is peace. And what you want for him, you will receive. |
| Tx:20.39 | brother's worth when all you want for him is peace. And what you | want for him, you will receive. |
| Tx:20.40 | estimate the worth of him who offers peace to you? What would you | want except his offering? His worth has been established by his |
| Tx:20.53 | a snowflake, but without its loveliness. Is this the substitute you | want for the eternal blessing of the holy instant and its unlimited |
| Tx:20.53 | the body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you really | want. And from His holy temple, look you not back on what you have |
| Tx:20.56 | than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have learned you really | want but one. This is no time for sadness. Perhaps confusion, but |
| Tx:20.59 | to leave the means to Him Who changed the purpose. You recognize you | want the goal. Are you not also willing to accept the means? If you |
| Tx:20.59 | you are inconsistent. A purpose is attained by means, and if you | want a purpose, you must be willing to want the means as well. How |
| Tx:20.59 | attained by means, and if you want a purpose, you must be willing to | want the means as well. How can one be sincere and say, “I want this |
| Tx:20.59 | to want the means as well. How can one be sincere and say, “I | want this above all else, and yet I do not want to learn the means to |
| Tx:20.59 | be sincere and say, “I want this above all else, and yet I do not | want to learn the means to get it”? |
| Tx:20.68 | Do you not | want to know your own Identity? Would you not happily exchange your |
| Tx:20.74 | held, they disappear. Therefore, the question never is whether you | want them, but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This |
| Tx:20.74 | the question never is whether you want them, but always, do you | want the purpose which they serve? This world seems to hold out many |
| Tx:21.5 | joyously and are remembered gladly. What gives you happiness you | want to learn and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your |
| Tx:21.18 | this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the world you do not | want brought to the one you do. And here the one you do is given you |
| Tx:21.18 | to the one you do. And here the one you do is given you because you | want it. Yet for this, the power of your wanting must first be |
| Tx:21.30 | its effects, but it is not your purpose, and you no longer | want it. No one allows a purpose to be replaced while he desires it, |
| Tx:21.34 | means to teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you | want to see. Then will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and |
| Tx:21.46 | you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to look within, you do not | want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to shine and catch your |
| Tx:21.49 | by all the ego's raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who | want to hear it. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this |
| Tx:21.66 | must be dispelled by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what you | want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and |
| Tx:21.66 | by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what you want, and all you | want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and brings your reason |
| Tx:21.75 | I desire a world in which I have no enemies and cannot sin? And do I | want to see what I denied because it is the truth? |
| Tx:21.77 | of power and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot | want to heal. And whom you would have healed must be the one you |
| Tx:21.77 | this decision leads to its effects is not your problem. But what you | want to see must be your choice. This is a course in cause and not |
| Tx:21.79 | Is this what I would see? Do I | want this? |
| Tx:21.81 | this same desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you can | want to see a sinless world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the |
| Tx:21.82 | the option to change your mind again. When it is this you do not | want, the rest are wholly answered. |
| Tx:22.45 | And you need no defense. Everything that needs defense you do not | want, for anything that needs defense will weaken you. |
| Tx:22.51 | Do you | want freedom of the body or of the mind? For both you cannot have. |
| Tx:22.62 | or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this belief you | want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to attack in |
| Tx:23.8 | conceivable? And if it were, is this a victory that you would | want? The death of God, if it were possible, would be your death. Is |
| Tx:23.29 | from this most treacherous and cunning enemy? It must be what you | want but never found. And now you “understand” the reason why you |
| Tx:23.30 | But what is it you | want that needs his death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is |
| Tx:23.43 | of 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 |
| Tx:23.44 | for this and love for that and understand forgiveness. Would you not | want to recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus |
| Tx:23.54 | share their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They | want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light |
| Tx:24.55 | Choose, then, his body or his holiness as what you | want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you |
| Tx:24.70 | feel it with your hands and hear it move. Here is an image that you | want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish come true. It |
| Tx:25.6 | Perception is a choice of what you | want yourself to be—the world you want to live in and the state in |
| Tx:25.6 | is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the world you | want to live in and the state in which you think your mind will be |
| Tx:25.12 | can hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards that you would | want to keep. For only thus will you be willing to relinquish it and |
| Tx:25.23 | see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you | want it there. Perception has no other law than this. The rest but |
| Tx:25.29 | What then is justified? What do you | want? For these two questions are the same. And when you see them as |
| Tx:25.29 | to extend your own forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who | want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them and offer them the |
| Tx:25.62 | belief that God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you | want. That either God or you must lose to madness because your aims |
| Tx:25.84 | To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you | want it solved. To keep it for yourself to solve without His help is |
| Tx:26.15 | you think are great and cannot be resolved. For there are those you | want to suffer loss and no one whom you wish to be preserved from |
| Tx:26.16 | problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not | want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy |
| Tx:26.37 | the truth the past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you | want that fearful instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and |
| Tx:26.58 | be afraid of it. Is fear a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you | want? Or is it a mistake about your will and what you really are? Let |
| Tx:26.70 | see it for. If you would keep a little space between you still, you | want a little time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while. |
| Tx:27.34 | Nor delay an instant in deciding that it is the only one you | want. It does not stand for double concepts. Though it is but half |
| Tx:27.39 | The others are not true. What can the body get that you would | want the most of all? It is your servant and your friend. But tell it |
| Tx:27.39 | of all? It is your servant and your friend. But tell it what you | want, and it will serve you lovingly and well.” And this is not a |
| Tx:27.39 | 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 question its |

| Tx:27.78 | them away for senseless things it does not need and does not even | want. It hires other bodies, that they may protect it, and collect |
| Tx:27.84 | blaming them, you will not see the cause of what they do because you | want the guilt to rest on them. How childish is this petulant device |
| Tx:27.89 | 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. Yet you need but |
| Tx:28.25 | what He would have you learn and shows you its effects are what you | want. In His forgiving dreams are the effects of yours undone and |
| Tx:28.30 | Fight not His coming with illusions, for it is His coming that you | want above all things that seem to glisten in the dream. |
| Tx:28.46 | for substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who would | want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he has received the |
| Tx:28.49 | believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will not | want to know your own Identity because you think that it is fearful. |
| Tx:28.51 | scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the world you | want. Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless |
| Tx:28.55 | you give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you | want but never makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It |
| Tx:28.56 | The thing you hate and fear and loathe and | want, the body does not know. You send it forth to seek for |
| Tx:28.56 | you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations which you | want your mind to have and see and keep. |
| Tx:28.60 | a little gap, would be a lack. And it is only there that he could | want for something he has not. A space where God is not, a gap |
| Tx:29.25 | The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you | want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle |
| Tx:29.35 | to bless and lead God's Son unto his Father's house. Would you not | want to be a friend to him, created by his Father as His home? If God |
| Tx:29.43 | For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you | want, insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there? Do |
| Tx:29.49 | ascribe to them. And you pursue them vainly in the dream because you | want their power as your own. |
| Tx:30.2 | ready. 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 |
| Tx:30.2 | day can happen just like that. Then try again to have the day you | want. |
| Tx:30.7 | quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself again the kind of day you | want, the feelings you would have, the things you want to happen to |
| Tx:30.7 | kind of day you want, the feelings you would have, the things you | want to happen to you, and the things you would experience and say, |
| Tx:30.10 | will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to | want an answer that will work. Be certain this has happened if you |
| Tx:30.11 | 3. Remember once again the day you | want and recognize that something has occurred which is not part of |
| Tx:30.14 | the question asks will gain momentum until you believe the day you | want is one in which you get your answer to your question. And you |
| Tx:30.14 | it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what you really | want. This can be very hard to realize when once you have decided by |
| Tx:30.20 | you that help is not being thrust upon you but is something that you | want and that you need, because you do not like the way you feel. |
| Tx:30.22 | you further. You are not coerced but merely hope to get a thing you | want. And you can say in perfect honesty, |
| Tx:30.23 | I | want another way to look at this. |
| Tx:30.24 | changed your mind about the day and have remembered what you really | want. Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief |
| Tx:30.24 | Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief you | want it for the goal of being right when you are wrong. Thus is the |
| Tx:30.24 | awareness, for you cannot be in conflict when you ask for what you | want and see that it is this for which you ask. |
| Tx:30.31 | well is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you | want before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all |
| Tx:30.31 | and your advisor for yourself and for the world as well. The day you | want you offer to the world, for it will be what you have asked for |
| Tx:30.32 | one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you | want and give it to the world by having it yourself. Your judgment |
| Tx:30.34 | will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not | want. He joins with you in willing you be free. And to oppose Him is |
| Tx:30.38 | 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 to |
| Tx:30.39 | two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not | want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on |
| Tx:30.39 | on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the form of what you | want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will |
| Tx:30.41 | It never is the idol that you | want. But what you think it offers you, you want indeed and have the |
| Tx:30.41 | is the idol that you want. But what you think it offers you, you | want indeed and have the right to ask for. Nor could it be possible |
| Tx:30.41 | forms made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you | want. Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the |
| Tx:30.54 | brought about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not | want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God |
| Tx:30.55 | 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 all the dreams of |
| Tx:30.56 | no need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could ever | want. He is delivered from illusions by his will and but restored to |
| Tx:30.63 | Perhaps they still look back and think they see an idol that they | want. Yet has their path been surely set away from idols toward |
| Tx:30.91 | appeal which makes them harder to resist than those you would not | want to have reality. Temptation, then, is nothing more than this—a |
| Tx:30.92 | healing. But there is no miracle that can be given you unless you | want it. Choose what you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles |
| Tx:31.11 | decision on what you would learn and have an outcome that you do not | want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that |
| Tx:31.11 | outcome seen to be preferred. You are deceived if you believe you | want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this |
| Tx:31.15 | as separate roles, each seeming to possess advantages you would not | want to lose. So in their fusion there appears to be the hope of |
| Tx:31.16 | would have it, and you hate as well his not assuming it at times you | want to let the follower in you arise and give away the role of |
| Tx:31.17 | And what of him? What does he | want of you? What could he want, but what you want of him? Herein is |
| Tx:31.17 | And what of him? What does he want of you? What could he | want, but what you want of him? Herein is life as easily as death, |
| Tx:31.17 | of him? What does he want of you? What could he want, but what you | want of him? Herein is life as easily as death, for what you choose, |
| Tx:31.17 | you see an image of yourself and hear your voice requesting what you | want. |
| Tx:31.20 | the selfsame road. He is like us, as near or far away from what we | want as we will let him be. We make no gains he does not make with |
| Tx:31.22 | you come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really | want. No more than this will you be asked to learn. But as you hear |
| Tx:31.22 | understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did not | want and that were never true. |
| Tx:31.24 | will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you | want and needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a different form in |
| Tx:31.27 | would be the gain to you? What could the outcome be that you would | want? And how could murder bring you benefit? |
| Tx:31.31 | will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You will not | want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains to the |
| Tx:31.46 | omits this face, for he has need of it. The other side he does not | want to see. Yet it is here the learning of the world has set its |
| Tx:31.59 | The world can teach no images of you unless you | want to learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone |
| Tx:31.62 | escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you | want it so. But choose the Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your |
| W1:4.2 | ones are blocks to sight and make seeing impossible. You do not | want either. |
| W1:20.2 | Do not misconstrue it as an effort to exert force or pressure. You | want salvation. You want to be happy. You want peace. You do not have |
| W1:20.2 | it as an effort to exert force or pressure. You want salvation. You | want to be happy. You want peace. You do not have them now because |
| W1:20.2 | force or pressure. You want salvation. You want to be happy. You | want peace. You do not have them now because your mind is totally |
| W1:20.3 | Your decision to see is all that vision requires. What you | want is yours. Do not mistake the little effort that is asked of you |
| W1:20.4 | today consist in reminding yourselves throughout the day that you | want to see. Today's idea also tacitly implies the recognition that |
| W1:20.4 | to change your present state for a better one, and one you really | want. |
| W1:22.2 | It is from this savage fantasy that you | want to escape. Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is |
| W1:22.6 | Is this the world I really | want to see? |
| W1:23.2 | thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not | want. There is no point in lamenting the world. There is no point in |
| W1:24.4 | concerned. The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you | want. You will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in |
| W1:25.4 | in your immediate vicinity. What you do not understand is what you | want to reach him for. And it is this that makes your contact with |
| W1:27.2 | that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you | want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the lack of |
| W1:27.7 | The 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 |
| W1:28.2 | wonder why it is important to say, for example, “Above all else I | want to see this table differently.” In itself it is not important at |
| W1:28.3 | When you say, “Above all else I | want to see this table differently,” you are making a commitment to |
| W1:28.4 | ask questions and receive the answers. In saying, “Above all else I | want to see this table differently,” you are committing yourself to |
| W1:28.9 | Above all else, I | want to see this ______ differently. |
| W1:30.2 | we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we | want to recognize is there. Thus we are trying to join with what we |
| W1:32.1 | made it up. You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you | want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be |
| W1:32.1 | as you wish. While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer | want it, it will not be there for you to see. |
| W1:35.2 | are. That is because you surround yourself with the environment you | want. And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have |
| W1:35.2 | because you surround yourself with the environment you want. And you | want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made. The |
| W1:38.6 | From time to time you may | want to vary this procedure and add some relevant thoughts of your |
| W1:39.5 | Longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If you | want to exceed the minimum requirements, more rather than longer |
| W1:40.2 | can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really | want to. |
| W1:45.5 | try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we | want to do. And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in |
| W1:48.1 | recognize this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who | want illusions to be true. |
| W1:51.3 | willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because I | want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not want to see |
| W1:51.3 | because I want to see. My judgments have hurt me, and I do not | want to see according to them. |
| W1:51.6 | to defend a thought system which has hurt me and which I no longer | want. I am willing to let it go. |
| W1:56.3 | [27] Above all else I | want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, |
| W1:56.4 | [28] Above all else I | want to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image |
| W1:57.3 | of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer | want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him, |
| W1:61.4 | You will | want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the |
| W1:61.8 | periods may be longer than the rest if you find them helpful and | want to extend them. |
| W1:62.9 | I would remember this because I | want to be happy. |
| W1:65.11 | your conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you really | want salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the contrary. |
| W1:65.13 | My only function is the one God gave me. I | want no other and I have no other. |
| W1:69.6 | to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much you | want to reach the light in you today—now. Determine to go past the |
| W1:69.9 | In the shorter practice periods, which you will | want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's |
| W1:69.10 | the light of the world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I | want to let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the salvation |
| W1:70.6 | God wants us to be healed, and we do not really | want to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting |
| W1:70.6 | the idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not | want us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants us to be healed. So do we. |
| W1:70.13 | Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not | want to remain in the clouds looking vainly for idols there when you |
| W1:73.6 | you and your salvation. The reason is very simple. Do you really | want to be in hell? Do you really want to weep and suffer and die? |
| W1:73.6 | is very simple. Do you really want to be in hell? Do you really | want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments which |
| W1:73.6 | prove all this is really Heaven. You know it is not so. You cannot | want this for yourself. There is a point beyond which illusions |
| W1:73.7 | Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you really | want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as |
| W1:73.7 | is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You | want to succeed in what we are trying to do today. We undertake it |
| W1:73.8 | in it. You have no will that can really oppose it, and you do not | want to do so. Salvation is for you. Above all else you want the |
| W1:73.8 | you do not want to do so. Salvation is for you. Above all else you | want the freedom to remember who you really are. |
| W1:73.15 | practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really | want. Say: |
| W1:75.3 | forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as what we | want to see. We will be given what we desire. We will to see the |
| W1:75.4 | looking at the world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we | want to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes our goal |
| W1:77.11 | I will not trade miracles for grievances. I | want only what belongs to me. God has established miracles as my |
| W1:R2.3 | you will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you | want it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting |
| W1:85.2 | there and hide from me what I would see. Recognizing this, what do I | want my grievances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light. |
| W1:85.2 | must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I | want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed. |
| W1:85.4 | of the world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I | want to see. |
| W1:89.5 | for my salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. I | want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have. |
| W1:91.5 | instruct yourself that you are not a body. Faith goes to what you | want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your will remains your |
| W1:98.13 | would have you take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you | want this choice, which He has made with you and you with Him. |
| W1:99.15 | and peace. You cannot lose the gifts your Father gave. You do not | want to be another self. You have no function that is not of God. |
| W1:102.1 | You do not | want to suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still |
| W1:102.1 | something and may still believe a little that it buys you what you | want. Yet this belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let |
| W1:104.9 | what belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I | want. |
| W1:106.1 | not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really | want; if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you |
| W1:R3.4 | Those practice periods which you have lost because you did not | want to do them for whatever reason should be done as soon as you |
| W1:116.3 | my Father's Will for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I | want. What He has given me is all there is. |
| W1:122.1 | What could you | want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers |
| W1:122.1 | What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you | want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet |
| W1:122.1 | cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you | want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of |
| W1:122.1 | and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you | want care and safety and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you |
| W1:122.1 | care and safety and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you | want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never |
| W1:122.4 | What would you | want forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be |
| W1:122.12 | began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you | want. Today all things you want are given you. |
| W1:122.12 | 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 |
| W1:128.2 | Be you deceived no more. The world you see has nothing that you | want. |
| W1:128.4 | nor permit temptation to believe the world has anything you | want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is |
| W1:128.9 | not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has nothing that I | want. |
| W1:129.3 | vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you really | want and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as |
| W1:129.3 | and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as you | want them throughout time? |
| W1:129.5 | And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world you | want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space |
| W1:129.5 | you but look forward, never back to see again the world you do not | want. Here is the world that comes to take its place as you unbind |
| W1:129.6 | not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really | want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given |
| W1:129.6 | holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you | want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for your |
| W1:129.6 | choosing it to take the place of all the things you seek but do not | want. |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this world there is a world I | want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing |
| W1:129.8 | to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really | want. |
| W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I | want. Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
| W1:129.12 | I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a world I | want. |
| W1:130.1 | thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you | want to see. Your values are determiners of this, for what you value |
| W1:130.1 | Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must | want to see, believing what you see is really there. No one can see a |
| W1:130.2 | can really hate and love at once? Who can desire what he does not | want to have reality? And who can choose to see a world of which he |
| W1:130.3 | what can be real in blind imaginings of panic born? What would you | want that this is shown to you? What would you wish to keep in such a |
| W1:130.8 | beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not | want illusions. And you come to these five minutes emptying your |
| W1:130.13 | I seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I | want. |
| W1:131.4 | —an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding everything you really | want. |
| W1:131.5 | to learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really | want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. |
| W1:131.5 | Heaven and must find the goal you really want. No one can fail to | want this goal and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot seek vainly, |
| W1:131.6 | because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not | want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God |
| W1:131.6 | go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really | want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness. |
| W1:131.7 | candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really | want. |
| W1:131.13 | those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I | want to think are not my own. |
| W1:131.15 | goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you really | want, and only what lies past it do you seek. |
| W1:131.19 | Today I seek and find all that I | want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to |
| W1:132.3 | free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not | want to find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the |
| W1:132.5 | herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you | want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. |
| W1:133.3 | we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think you | want. Unless they meet these sound requirements, they are not worth |
| W1:135.9 | which the mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who would | want to keep it when its usefulness is done? |
| W1:138.1 | between. We think that all things have an opposite, and what we | want we choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for |
| W1:138.12 | we close the day with this, acknowledging we chose but what we | want: |
| W1:138.13 | it now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I | want. |
| W1:139.4 | If he asks 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 |
| W1:141.2 | [122] Forgiveness offers everything I | want. |
| W1:144.2 | [128] The world I see has nothing that I | want. |
| W1:145.1 | [129] Beyond this world there is a world I | want. |
| W1:163.7 | alive and somehow perished, killed, apparently, by those who did not | want him to survive. Their stronger will could triumph over His, and |
| W1:164.8 | in your practicing by merely letting go all things you think you | want. Your trifling treasures put away and leave a clean and open |
| W1:164.9 | see the value your acceptance gives the world. But this you surely | want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day. Practice |
| W1:165.5 | 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 the |
| W1:I2.2 | words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you | want and what is valueless. |
| W1:181.9 | we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we | want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true |
| W1:185.2 | changed should any two agree these words express the only thing they | want. |
| W1:185.5 | To mean you | want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means |
| W1:185.7 | practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We | want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These words do not |
| W1:185.10 | You | want the peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For |
| W1:185.10 | request with deep sincerity. For thus you reach to what they really | want and join your own intent with what they seek above all things, |
| W1:190.6 | to change your mind and choose the joy of God as what you really | want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging, |
| W1:196.7 | to some extent to you. From there you can at least consider if you | want to go along this painful path. Until this shift has been |
| W1:196.9 | the most is your salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you | want. And you are free and glad of freedom. You have sought to be |
| W1:200.11 | in them. The peace of 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 |
| W1:R6.9 | This thought I do not | want. I choose instead…. |
| W1:205.1 | [185] I | want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The |
| W1:205.1 | [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I | want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, |
| W2:225.1 | and You have given all Your love to me. I must return it, for I | want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it |
| W2:226.1 | But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I | want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. |
| W2:231.1 | or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really | want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the |
| W2:242.2 | 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 all our |

| Tx:7.62 | wants your allegiance, but not as you really are. The ego therefore | wants to engage your mind in its own delusional system, because |
| Tx:7.63 | The ego | wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not |

| Tx:10.18 | what he does. Having forgotten his will, he does not know what he | wants. |
| Tx:10.19 | Healing is a sign that he | wants to make whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the |

| Tx:15.3 | out of its unwillingness for you to find peace even in the death it | wants for you, it offers you immortality in hell. It speaks to you of |
| Tx:15.70 | much prefer to attack directly and avoid delaying what it really | wants. Yet the ego acknowledges “reality” as it sees it and |
| Tx:15.71 | 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 believes he |
| Tx:15.73 | altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego really | wants, you do not realize. |
| Tx:16.62 | ego seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the ego | wants but part of him and sees only this part and nothing else. |
| Tx:17.58 | this disorganized approach is evident. The ego does not know what it | wants to come of it. It is aware of what it does not want, but only |
| Tx:18.73 | which would devour it, and the ocean terrifies the little ripple and | wants to swallow it. |
| Tx:19.22 | For sin has changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego | wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of |

| Tx:20.6 | chosen home most carefully, making it ready to receive the gifts it | wants by offering them to those who come unto its chosen home or |
| Tx:20.39 | brother's value. Only the ego does this, but all it means is that it | wants the other for itself and therefore values him too little. What |
| Tx:20.48 | must be unholy, for what they are, it does not even see. It | wants them solely for the offerings on which its idols thrive. The |
| Tx:21.23 | Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone believes in what he | wants. |
| Tx:21.24 | already said that wishful thinking is how the ego deals with what it | wants to make it so. There is no better demonstration of the power of |

| Tx:23.32 | No one | wants madness, nor does anyone cling to his madness if he sees that |

| Tx:25.44 | for. And who can say that he prefers the darkness and maintain he | wants to see? The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your |
| Tx:25.58 | more desired as it proves to him that it is an alternative he really | wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees |

| W1:62.4 | the day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as God | wants you to be. And it will help those around you as well as those |
| W1:70.4 | help. That is the way your mind has worked, but hardly His. He | wants you to be healed, and so He has kept the Source of healing |
| W1:70.6 | God | wants us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick, because |

| W1:76.5 | would not understand it is its own enemy, that it attacks itself and | wants to die. It is from this your “laws” would save the body. It is |
| W1:100.8 | your part 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 |
| W1:121.4 | own projections rising to attack its miserable parody of life. It | wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants forgiveness, yet it |
| W1:121.4 | parody of life. It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It | wants forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can |

| W1:133.9 | it serve? Here it is easiest of all to be deceived, for what the ego | wants it fails to recognize. It does not even tell the truth as it |
| W1:136.13 | your attempts to plan defenses which would alter it. Truth merely | wants to give you happiness, for such its purpose is. Perhaps it |
| W1:152.1 | nor fear nor think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he | wants. And no one dies without his own consent. Nothing occurs but |

| Tx:3.14 | beating a child. Can you believe that the Father really thinks this | way? It is so essential that all such thinking be dispelled that we |
| Tx:3.15 | believe in karmic retribution. His Divine Mind does not create that | way. He does not hold the evil deeds of a man even against himself. |
| Tx:3.21 | frightened people are apt to be vicious. Sacrificing another in any | way is a clear cut violation of God's own injunction that man should |
| Tx:3.22 | “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” is another | way of saying the same thing. |
| Tx:3.28 | They do not suffer from the distortions of the separated ones. The | way to correct all such distortions is to withdraw your faith from |
| Tx:3.31 | and this means that it is not whole. The miracle is a | way of perceiving, not of knowing. It is the right answer to a |
| Tx:3.44 | willed only to know. Afterwards it willed ambiguously, and the only | way out of ambiguity is clear perception. The mind returns to its |
| Tx:3.49 | it under my guidance. Only your misperceptions stand in your own | way. Without them your choice is certain. Sane perception induces |
| Tx:3.56 | Prayer is a | way of asking for something. Prayer is the medium of miracles, but |
| Tx:3.62 | does not matter in the end whether you judge right or wrong. Either | way, you are placing your belief in the unreal. This cannot be |
| Tx:3.63 | you and your brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any | way is without meaning. In fact, their meaning is lost to you |
| Tx:3.70 | question of authorship. All fear comes ultimately and sometimes by | way of very devious routes from the denial of Authorship. The offense |
| Tx:3.71 | There is no man who does not feel that he is imprisoned in some | way. If this is the result of his own free will, he must regard his |
| Tx:3.74 | absolutely no sense. The whole picture is one in which man acts in a | way he himself realizes is self-destructive but which he does not |
| Tx:4.26 | only perceive it to see that it does happen. If it can occur that | way in the present, why is it surprising that it occurred that way in |
| Tx:4.26 | that way in the present, why is it surprising that it occurred that | way in the past? Psychology rests on the principle of the continuity |
| Tx:4.26 | can work, provided you fully recognize that it need not work that | way. Why are you surprised that something happened in the dim past |
| Tx:4.28 | necessary, you will merely know God. Belief that there is another | way is the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is |
| Tx:4.33 | The ego believes it is completely on its own, which is merely another | way of describing how it originated. This is such a fearful state |
| Tx:4.40 | The more recent ecological emphases are but another ingenious | way of trying to impose order on chaos. We have already credited the |
| Tx:4.45 | In its characteristically upside-down | way, the ego has taken the impulses from the superconscious and |
| Tx:4.69 | and one to which it devotes its maximum vigilance. This is not the | way a balanced mind holds together. Its control is unconscious. The |
| Tx:4.75 | as it does with all issues that touch on the real question in any | way. By compromising in connection with all tangential questions, it |
| Tx:4.87 | because the process itself demonstrates that there is another | way. Conditioning by rewards has always been more effective than |
| Tx:4.89 | than yours in me at the moment, but it will not always be that | way. Your mission is very simple. You have been chosen to live so as |
| Tx:4.93 | ego and joy with the Soul. You have conditioned yourselves the other | way around. A far greater reward, however, will break through any |
| Tx:4.96 | it perceives as related. In contrast the Soul reacts in the same | way to everything it knows is true and does not respond at all to |
| Tx:4.103 | confusion than to anything else because it is too often misused as a | way of exerting the ego's domination over other egos, rather than as |
| Tx:4.105 | of others if in a situation calling for healing you think of it this | way: |
| Tx:5.12 | Children because they had made them, but He also blessed them with a | way of thinking that could raise their perceptions until they became |
| Tx:5.15 | it does not engender knowledge, it does not obstruct it in any | way. [Third, it is an unequivocal call to love. Every other voice is |
| Tx:5.16 | it is the point at which the shift occurs. Finally, it points the | way beyond the healing which it brings and leads the mind beyond its |
| Tx:5.21 | Guidance is evaluative, because it implies that there is a right | way and also a wrong way, one to be chosen and the other to be |
| Tx:5.21 | because it implies that there is a right way and also a wrong | way, one to be chosen and the other to be avoided. By choosing one, |
| Tx:5.23 | is different. Choosing means divided will. The Holy Spirit is one | way of choosing. This way is in you because there is also another |
| Tx:5.23 | means divided will. The Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This | way is in you because there is also another way. God did not leave |
| Tx:5.23 | way of choosing. This way is in you because there is also another | way. God did not leave His Children comfortless, even though they |
| Tx:5.23 | is stronger than the call to depart, but it speaks in a different | way. |
| Tx:5.24 | because of what it reminds you of. It brings to your mind the other | way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you have made |
| Tx:5.26 | The Holy Spirit is the | way in which God's Will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both |
| Tx:5.28 | unequivocal, because it hears only one voice and answers in only one | way. You are the light of the world with me. Rest does not come from |
| Tx:5.29 | Biblical statement, “My yoke is easy and my burden light” in this | way: “Let us join together, for my message is light.” |
| Tx:5.30 | you had grown vaguely aware of the fact that there is another | way or another Voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy |
| Tx:5.32 | The | way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in |
| Tx:5.40 | separation can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either | way, the idea will be strengthened in the mind of the giver. |
| Tx:5.46 | the Atonement, which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a | way out of fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to |
| Tx:5.50 | to every part. It is shared because it is loving. Sharing is God's | way of creating and also yours. Your ego can keep you in exile from |
| Tx:5.54 | He leads you back to God where you belong, and how can you find this | way except by taking your brother with you? |
| Tx:5.72 | your free decision at every possible moment and in every possible | way. And as its maker, you recognize what it can do because you gave |
| Tx:5.81 | only infinite patience can produce immediate effects. This is the | way in which time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls |
| Tx:5.94 | defensive because you expect attack. The decision to react in this | way, however, is yours and can therefore be undone. It cannot be |
| Tx:6.1 | have been attacked, that [the attack was unjust, and] you are in no | way responsible. Given these three wholly irrational premises, the |
| Tx:6.2 | The | way to undo an insane conclusion is to consider the sanity of the |
| Tx:6.8 | You might remember, however, when you do choose to react that | way, that I was persecuted as the world judges and did not share this |
| Tx:6.13 | by them. That was their only purpose, and that is the only | way in which I can be perceived as the Way, the Truth, and the Light. |
| Tx:6.13 | purpose, and that is the only way in which I can be perceived as the | Way, the Truth, and the Light. |
| Tx:6.14 | is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to demonstrate His | way for all. You are not persecuted, nor was I. You are not asked to |
| Tx:6.19 | If you interpret the crucifixion in any other | way, you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the call |
| Tx:6.29 | one need which in this world is universal. To perceive yourself this | way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the world. |
| Tx:6.29 | this world is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only | way in which you can find happiness in the world. That is because it |
| Tx:6.30 | perfect inclusion in Him, Who alone is perfect. To deny this in any | way is to deny yourself and Him since it is impossible to accept one |
| Tx:6.31 | perception and knowledge. By enabling you to use perception in a | way that parallels knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and know |
| Tx:6.33 | perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to God's | way of thinking and thus guarantee their ultimate meeting. This |
| Tx:6.36 | This is the | way in which you must perceive God's creations, bringing all of your |
| Tx:6.43 | set you free and keep you so, as others learn it of you. The only | way to have peace is to teach peace. By learning it through |
| Tx:6.47 | has called upon Him for help at one time or another and in one | way or another and has been answered. Since the Holy Spirit answers |
| Tx:6.51 | The time that was spent on questioning in the dream has given | way to creation and to its eternity. |
| Tx:6.53 | who will strengthen your command and never detract from it in any | way. You therefore retain the central place in your perceived |
| Tx:6.68 | necessary that you turn in that direction. Having chosen to go that | way, you place yourself in charge of the journey, where you and only |
| Tx:6.75 | The | way out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is clearly |
| Tx:6.81 | You are only beginning this step now, but you have started on this | way by realizing that only one way is possible. You do not yet |
| Tx:6.81 | now, but you have started on this way by realizing that only one | way is possible. You do not yet realize this consistently, and so |
| Tx:6.88 | You create by what you are, but this is what you must learn. The | way to learn it is inherent in the third step, which brings together |
| Tx:6.94 | which must be healed. Your vigilance against this sickness is the | way to heal it. Once your mind is healed, it radiates health and |
| Tx:7.2 | creative thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this | way can all creative power extend outward. God's accomplishments are |
| Tx:7.4 | with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any | way. You are His gifts, and so your gifts must be like His. Your |
| Tx:7.9 | himself as not whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this | way, you are seeing him as if he were absent from the Kingdom or |
| Tx:7.17 | forget or relinquish one to understand the other. This is the only | way you can learn consistency so that you can finally be consistent. |
| Tx:7.23 | This is because they are channelized in one direction or in one | way. Ultimately, then, they all contribute to one result, and by so |
| Tx:7.23 | You can excel in many different ways, but you can equalize in one | way only. Equality is not a variable state, by definition. |
| Tx:7.25 | anyone in 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 |
| Tx:7.34 | the laws of the ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a | way of remembering better. It is therefore not the opposite of |
| Tx:7.34 | incorrect perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a | way out of conflict, as all proper perception can. |
| Tx:7.35 | Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into a | way of remembering and not perceived as a separate ability which |
| Tx:7.35 | as a separate ability which opposes an opposite. That is the | way in which the ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is |
| Tx:7.36 | is because of this that their goals can never be reconciled in any | way or to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate. |
| Tx:7.36 | because the Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the | way to undo the belief in differences, being the only way of |
| Tx:7.36 | Healing is the way to undo the belief in differences, being the only | way of perceiving the Sonship without this belief. This perception is |
| Tx:7.37 | not knowing this, you do not know what you are. Healing, then, is a | way of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the laws |
| Tx:7.38 | You are therefore in Him since your being is His. Healing is a | way of forgetting the sense of danger the ego has induced in you by |
| Tx:7.48 | This in no | way contradicts the changelessness of mind as God created it, but you |
| Tx:7.49 | in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can see in two ways. One | way shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship out |
| Tx:7.57 | ego resolves this completely insane dilemma in a completely insane | way. It does not perceive its existence as threatened by projecting |
| Tx:7.72 | need is yours. You need the blessing you can offer him. There is no | way for you to have it except by giving it. This is the law of God, |
| Tx:7.74 | but they are powerful because they are mental judgments. The only | way to dispel illusions is to withdraw all investment from them, and |
| Tx:7.75 | apart from Him, and you do do nothing apart from Him. Keep His | way to remember yourselves and teach His way, lest you forget |
| Tx:7.75 | apart from Him. Keep His way to remember yourselves and teach His | way, lest you forget yourselves. Give only honor to the Sons of the |
| Tx:7.80 | know Him. The peace of God is understanding this. There is only one | way out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into |
| Tx:7.80 | only one way out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one | way into it. Understand totally by understanding totality. |
| Tx:7.82 | keeps it in the Mind of God. To the ego, the law is perceived as a | way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the Holy Spirit, |
| Tx:7.86 | about another without perpetuating it about yourself. There is no | way out of this, because it is impossible to fragment the mind. |
| Tx:7.103 | you and with your strength. As long as you avoid His guidance in any | way, you want to be weak. Yet weakness is frightening. What else, |
| Tx:7.105 | may seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only | way out of the fallacy is to decide that you do not have to decide |
| Tx:8.1 | by your demands to know what you do not know. This is actually a | way of holding on to deprivation. You cannot reasonably object to |
| Tx:8.30 | is obvious when you consider what healing is for. Healing is the | way in which the separation is overcome. Separation is overcome by |
| Tx:8.39 | and therefore cannot unite with yours. Our union is therefore the | way to renounce the ego in yourself. The truth in both of us is |
| Tx:8.40 | or you will try to go in different directions and will lose the | way. |
| Tx:8.41 | The ego's | way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy Spirit has one |
| Tx:8.41 | with the journey because it has none, [and] the journey is the | way to what is true. Leave all deception behind and reach beyond all |
| Tx:8.48 | actually leaves nothing. [You can make yourself powerless only in a | way that has no meaning at all.] When you think you are unwilling to |
| Tx:8.53 | experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of himself in this | way, he is belittling himself and seeing his brothers as similarly |
| Tx:8.55 | in communion, which has value until communion is. This is God's | way of making unlimited what you have limited. The Holy Spirit does |
| Tx:8.57 | him, but you must have attacked yourself first. Do not see him this | way for your own salvation, which must bring him his. Do not allow |
| Tx:8.63 | The removal of blocks, then, is the only | way to guarantee help and healing. Help and healing are the normal |
| Tx:8.76 | Sickness is a | way of demonstrating that you can be hurt. It is a witness to your |
| Tx:8.76 | is no point in trying to make sense out of meaningless data. Any | way you handle them results in nothing. The more complicated the |
| Tx:8.82 | unconsciousness out of fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic | way of trying not to know by rendering the faculties for knowing |
| Tx:8.89 | The unification of purpose, then, is the Holy Spirit's only | way of healing. This is because it is the only level at which healing |
| Tx:8.89 | re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic thought system is the only | way to heal it. We have said that your task is only to meet the |
| Tx:8.110 | 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:8.114 | Do not ask for blessings without blessing them, for only in this | way can you learn how blessed you are. By following this way, you are |
| Tx:8.114 | in this way can you learn how blessed you are. By following this | way, you are looking for the truth in you. This is not going beyond |
| Tx:8.118 | denied Him nothing, and so you can share everything. This is the | way, and the only way, to have His answer because His answer is all |
| Tx:8.118 | and so you can share everything. This is the way, and the only | way, to have His answer because His answer is all you can ask for and |
| Tx:9.5 | Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one | way in which you handle all errors, you cannot understand how all |
| Tx:9.6 | it, but because you are following the wrong guide and will lose your | way. |
| Tx:9.7 | as real, and you have attacked yourself. If you would find your | way and keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together. |
| Tx:9.9 | Atonement is for all, because it is the | way to undo the belief that anything is for you alone. To forgive is |
| Tx:9.10 | of what you are. This limitation is where all errors arise. The | way to undo them, therefore, is not of you but for you. |
| Tx:9.24 | and one which it usually does note, even in its confusion. If the | way to counteract fear is to reduce the importance of the fearer, how |
| Tx:9.36 | You cannot perform a miracle for yourself, because miracles are a | way of giving acceptance and receiving it. In time, the giving comes |
| Tx:9.39 | peace unless you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the | way to peace. The reason is very simple and so obvious that it is |
| Tx:9.69 | your acceptance. Give up gladly everything that would stand in the | way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and His Voice |
| Tx:9.72 | you are, it is an attack on your identification. Attack is thus the | way in which your identification is lost because, when you attack, |
| Tx:9.87 | cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it that | way is not to perceive it at all. If the Sonship is one, it is one in |
| Tx:10.3 | the ego's thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the | way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. |
| Tx:10.23 | Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could never suffer in any | way, for that is not God's Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for |
| Tx:10.26 | The | way is not hard, but it is very different. Yours is the way of pain, |
| Tx:10.26 | The way is not hard, but it is very different. Yours is the | way of pain, of which God knows nothing. That way is hard indeed and |
| Tx:10.26 | Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows nothing. That | way is hard indeed and very lonely. Fear and grief are your guests, |
| Tx:10.26 | are your guests, and they go with you and abide with you on the | way. But the dark journey is not the way of God's Son. Walk in light, |
| Tx:10.26 | you and abide with you on the way. But the dark journey is not the | way of God's Son. Walk in light, and do not see the dark companions, |
| Tx:10.26 | the light. But deny them instead, for the light is here, and the | way is clear. |
| Tx:10.27 | and gave him the light that shines in him. You will never lose your | way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but undertake a journey |
| Tx:10.27 | undertake a journey which is not real. The dark companions, the dark | way, are all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark |
| Tx:10.39 | from illusions unless he looks at them, for not looking is the | way they are protected. There is no need to shrink from illusions, |
| Tx:10.40 | What is healing but the removal of all that stands in the | way of knowledge? And how else can one dispel illusions except by |
| Tx:10.44 | from the ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the | way to undo its results is merely to recognize that their source is |
| Tx:10.84 | is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in no | way separate from His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the |
| Tx:11.1 | You have been told not to make error real, and the | way to do this is very simple. If you want to believe in error, you |
| Tx:11.7 | because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a brother in your | way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his call for the help |
| Tx:11.15 | the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the | way to remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God's |
| Tx:11.15 | brothers with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the | way to remember. |
| Tx:11.19 | for you must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the | way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His |
| Tx:11.22 | it, not by minimizing it, not by denying its full import in any | way—this is what you will really see. You cannot lay aside the |
| Tx:11.28 | through peace. This is the only thing that can be saved and the only | way to save it. Any response other than love arises from a confusion |
| Tx:11.31 | to what is inward, and therefore you would have to perceive it this | way. That is why you must realize that your hatred is in your mind |
| Tx:11.36 | and this is always its central teaching. It never puts it this | way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the ego is salvation |
| Tx:11.51 | it is merely ridiculous if you look at it. Is it possible that the | way to achieve a goal is not to attain it? Resign now as your own |
| Tx:11.52 | 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 it and |
| Tx:11.79 | it is. You who knew have forgotten, and unless He had given you a | way to remember, you would have condemned yourselves to oblivion. |
| Tx:11.84 | which is forever the only reality. The Atonement is but the | way back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love |
| Tx:11.93 | everyone is seeking to escape from the prison he has made, and the | way to find release is not denied him. Being in him, he has found it. |
| Tx:11.96 | because you are eternal and always must be now. Guilt, then, is a | way of holding past and future in your minds to ensure the ego's |
| Tx:11.97 | the guiltlessness of the Son of God as yours is therefore God's | way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has |
| Tx:11.99 | guilt. For attack makes guilt real, and if it is real, there is no | way to overcome it. The Holy Spirit dispels it simply through the |
| Tx:12.1 | to retain guilt, you find it intolerable, since guilt stands in the | way of your remembering God, Whose pull is so strong that you cannot |
| Tx:12.42 | Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you made your | way of seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are |
| Tx:12.43 | but two emotions, and one you made and one was given you. Each is a | way of seeing, and different worlds arise from their different |
| Tx:12.66 | and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real world is the | way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that is wholly |
| Tx:12.70 | what you need. For He will give you all things that do not block the | way to light. And what else could you need? In time He gives you all |
| Tx:12.75 | every temptation that would hold you back. We walk together on the | way to quietness that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what |
| Tx:13.21 | He cannot use them unto your release. No one who would unite in any | way with anyone for his own salvation will find it in that strange |
| Tx:13.25 | As long as you believe that guilt is justified in any | way in anyone whatever he may do, you will not look within, where you |
| Tx:13.29 | Release from guilt as you would be released. There is no other | way to look within and see the light of love shining as steadily and |
| Tx:13.32 | that you have ever held against him has touched his innocence in any | way. His shining purity, wholly untouched by guilt and wholly loving, |
| Tx:13.62 | in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up the | way to freedom for you. For truth is true. What else could ever be or |
| Tx:13.65 | you be happy. There is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any | way, in any form, will lose appreciation of the value of your |
| Tx:13.71 | The | way to teach this simple lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is |
| Tx:13.78 | be the only Guide that you would follow to salvation. He knows the | way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn |
| Tx:13.81 | surely, and with love for everyone who will be touched in any | way by the decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto |
| Tx:13.84 | He leadeth me and knows the | way, which I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what He would |
| Tx:14.4 | them unable to communicate because each sees the other unlike the | way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in |
| Tx:14.10 | Teachers of innocence, each in his own | way, have joined together, taking their part in the unified |
| Tx:14.27 | what you do. You will realize that salvation must come to you this | way if you consider what dissociation is. Dissociation is a distorted |
| Tx:14.30 | you join your perception to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the | way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of |
| Tx:14.50 | Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your | way of ordering is wrong, but that a better way is offered you. |
| Tx:14.50 | to show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a better | way is offered you. |
| Tx:14.64 | you have learned. When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any | way, say to yourself, |
| Tx:14.74 | who perceives the need for peace and who would have it. Make | way for peace, and it will come. For understanding is in you, and |
| Tx:15.2 | 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 teaching. It does |
| Tx:15.7 | in guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always does. The only | way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to |
| Tx:15.20 | it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in any other | way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and will |
| Tx:15.36 | bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in your own | way and have it. Give over every plan that you have made for your |
| Tx:15.41 | you would prefer to have private thoughts and keep them? The only | way you could do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes |
| Tx:15.41 | in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you find a | way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would share. |
| Tx:15.54 | brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no | way separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God |
| Tx:15.56 | total commitments, yet they do not conflict with one another in any | way. Perfect faith in each one for its ability to satisfy you |
| Tx:15.61 | he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any | way. In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the |
| Tx:15.68 | that the ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in such a | way that you do not recognize what it would do to you. For it is the |
| Tx:15.70 | In one | way or another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on |
| Tx:15.75 | your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes the | way in which you would keep minds apart. For bodies cannot forgive. |
| Tx:16.1 | very useful to the Holy Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His | way. [His way is very different.] He does not understand suffering |

| Tx:16.3 | relationship. You will neither to hurt it nor to heal it in your own | way. You do not know what healing is. All you have learned of empathy |
| Tx:16.8 | you keep them separate and secret from each other. That is not the | way, for it leads not to light and truth. No needs will long be left |
| Tx:16.11 | the truth of just a little part of the whole. And this is but a | way of avoiding or looking away from the whole to what you think you |
| Tx:16.11 | you might be better able to understand. For this is but another | way in which you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A |
| Tx:16.11 | try to keep understanding to yourself. A better and far more helpful | way to think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either |
| Tx:16.12 | and of 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 |
| Tx:16.41 | me firmly 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:16.42 | There is no veil the love of God in us together cannot lift. The | way to truth is open. Follow it with me. |
| Tx:16.60 | not, or love will be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a | way in which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. |
| Tx:16.68 | the love of God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the | way, as it will surely do if you but let it come to you. |
| Tx:16.70 | all enter into the special relationship, which becomes a | way in which you seek to restore your wounded self-esteem. What basis |
| Tx:17.4 | 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 is to |
| Tx:17.4 | so you learn to deal with part of truth in one way and in another | way the other part. To fragment truth is to destroy it by rendering |
| Tx:17.19 | to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union becomes a | way of excluding even the one with whom the union was sought. For it |
| Tx:17.22 | do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark before you to light your | way and make it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God has joined |

| Tx:17.51 | are very new in the ways of salvation and think you have lost your | way. Your way is lost, but think not this is loss. In your newness, |
| Tx:17.51 | new in the ways of salvation and think you have lost your way. Your | way is lost, but think not this is loss. In your newness, remember |
| Tx:17.61 | you are at peace. Here again, you see the opposite of the ego's | way of looking, for the ego believes the situation brings the |
| Tx:17.64 | would have been meaningful to you because the interference in the | way of understanding would have been removed. To remove the problem |
| Tx:18.7 | is sanity; insanity is outside you. You but believe it is the other | way; that truth is outside and error and guilt within. Your little |
| Tx:18.15 | is so outrageously violated in them becomes apparent. Yet they are a | way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the ego better. |
| Tx:18.24 | in bringing truth to illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the | way of dreams. For you have gone from waking to sleeping and on and |
| Tx:18.26 | If you knew Who walks beside you on this | way which you have chosen, fear would be impossible. You do not know |
| Tx:18.31 | led nowhere. You have found each other and will light each other's | way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into |
| Tx:18.36 | to those who offer it nothing more than simple willingness to make | way for it. Purification is of God alone and therefore for you. |
| Tx:18.63 | that do not involve its comfort or protection or enjoyment in some | way? This makes it an end and not a means in your interpretation, and |
| Tx:18.67 | Your | way will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy |
| Tx:18.68 | is the ultimate 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 |
| Tx:18.69 | you slip past centuries of effort and escape from time. This is the | way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time |
| Tx:18.74 | it could not survive apart from them. And what it thinks it is in no | way changes its total dependence on them for its being. Its whole |
| Tx:18.75 | house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone and in no | way joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment |
| Tx:18.79 | green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those who lost their | way and wander in the dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by |
| Tx:18.90 | the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion. It gives | way softly to the mountain tops which rise above it and has no power |
| Tx:18.95 | which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a different | way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning ends before |
| Tx:19.7 | seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any respect or in any | way. |
| Tx:19.16 | an idea is free, incapable of being kept in prison or limited in any | way except by the mind that thought it. For it remains joined to its |
| Tx:19.19 | is nothing he can do that would really change his reality in any | way nor make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such |
| Tx:19.29 | down from a long, unbroken line along another plane but which in no | way breaks the line or interferes with its smooth continuousness. |
| Tx:19.37 | to others to bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the | way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid |
| Tx:19.56 | Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a | way by which the Son of God was killed instead of you. |
| Tx:19.67 | imprison me behind the obstacles you raise to freedom and bar my | way to you. Yet it is not possible to keep away One Who is there |
| Tx:19.76 | what is sent through Him returns to Him, seeking itself along the | way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego find the death it |
| Tx:19.83 | your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What better | way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course on |
| Tx:19.94 | obstacle that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same | way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the |
| Tx:19.101 | share it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives | way to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you |
| Tx:19.107 | garden of seeming agony and death. So will we prepare together the | way unto the resurrection of God's Son and let him rise again to glad |
| Tx:20.3 | in peace beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his | way to his redemption and release. Hold him not back with thorns and |
| Tx:20.3 | let the whiteness of your shining gift of lilies speed him on his | way to resurrection. |
| Tx:20.13 | have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence will light your | way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining |
| Tx:20.13 | brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's | way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So will |
| Tx:20.14 | This is the | way to Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad |
| Tx:20.15 | nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly will you walk the | way of innocence together, singing as you behold the open door of |
| Tx:20.16 | is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere perception—a | way of looking in which certainty is lost and doubt has entered. To |
| 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 |
| Tx:20.35 | while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the | way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask |
| Tx:20.36 | He will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your | way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing |
| Tx:20.36 | in your way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your | way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty |
| Tx:20.54 | exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe return. Here is the | way to true relationships held gently open, through which you walk |
| Tx:21.4 | which doors are open, and you can see where safety lies and which | way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment will always give you |
| Tx:21.6 | their world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their | way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous lessons, but |
| Tx:21.39 | and “deprivation” are opposites and cannot meaningfully join in any | way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are one because they |
| Tx:21.48 | unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness the | way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that |
| Tx:21.48 | is not made meaningful by repetition and by clamor. The quiet | way is open. Follow it happily and question not what must be so. |
| Tx:21.58 | fail to lead to changed perception. And in this change is room made | way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the purpose |
| Tx:21.59 | This you could spare him and yourself. For reason would not make | way for correction in you alone. |
| Tx:21.72 | and to act out their dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any | way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with anything. Dreams |
| Tx:22.1 | the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the same | way. |
| Tx:22.16 | bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems to be the | way to lose the misery the other brings. Every illusion carries pain |
| Tx:22.18 | cannot change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time gives | way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but |
| Tx:22.18 | Yet if the change be real and not imagined, illusions must give | way to truth and not to other dreams that are but equally unreal. |
| Tx:22.19 | Reason will tell you that the only | way to escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. |
| Tx:22.19 | only 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 |
| Tx:22.19 | and misery the same, but they are different from each other in every | way, in every instance, and without exception. To believe that one |
| Tx:22.20 | the belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another | way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what will make it true |
| Tx:22.30 | this belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and make | way for their correction. For reason sees through errors, telling you |
| Tx:22.31 | Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes | way for peace and brings you to a state of mind in which salvation |
| Tx:22.38 | road is quite apparent, you cannot go ahead. You must go either one | way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the way you went |
| Tx:22.38 | either one way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the | way you went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The |
| Tx:22.38 | of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take now. The | way you came no longer matters. It can no longer serve. No one who |
| Tx:22.38 | than standing where the road branches and not deciding on which | way to go. |
| Tx:22.39 | It is but the first few steps along the right | way that seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think |
| Tx:22.39 | made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your | way is decided. There will be nothing you will not be told if you |
| Tx:22.43 | obstacle was finally surmounted which seemed to rise and block their | way before. This veil you lift together opens the way to truth to |
| Tx:22.43 | and block their way before. This veil you lift together opens the | way to truth to more than you. Those who would let illusions be |
| Tx:22.45 | illusions? Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any | way. Merely by letting reason tell you that they contradict reality. |
| Tx:22.45 | defense because of weakness. And how can it be difficult to walk the | way of truth when only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones |
| Tx:22.59 | for peace. He will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any | way. He will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make |
| Tx:22.62 | It is unjustified in any form because it has no meaning. The only | way it could be justified is if each one of you were separate from |
| Tx:23.2 | as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the | way love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him |
| Tx:23.5 | the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light the | way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your awareness. For |
| Tx:23.12 | Illusions cannot triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in any | way. And the reality which they deny is not a part of them. |
| Tx:23.40 | How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the | way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your |
| Tx:23.40 | How do you feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which | way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If |
| Tx:24.8 | to a goal that is the same? Would you not help him reach it in every | way you could if his attainment of it were perceived as yours? You |
| Tx:24.20 | You have come far along the | way of truth—too far to falter now. Just one step more and every |
| Tx:24.31 | be your home. He chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The | way is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your |
| Tx:24.43 | Yet let your specialness direct his | way, and you will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent, |
| Tx:24.45 | are going, and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the | way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw |
| Tx:24.48 | He is within you, yet He walks beside you and before, leading the | way that He must go to find Himself complete. His quietness becomes |
| Tx:24.52 | Yet it is given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in every | way, and every circumstance, in all temptation to perceive what is |
| Tx:24.67 | in eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor is there any | way to learn what this condition means. Not till you go past learning |
| Tx:25.13 | that might result in better outcome? For one thing is sure—the | way you see, and long have seen, gives no support to base your future |
| Tx:25.16 | is to see. The body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any | way. Yet what God has created needs no frame, for what He has created |
| Tx:25.17 | into dust. But think you not the picture is destroyed in any | way. What God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and |
| Tx:25.32 | he defines it. It is not the aim as such that varies. Yet it is the | way in which the aim is seen that makes the choice of means |
| Tx:25.32 | chosen once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined another | way and sought for differently. |
| Tx:25.40 | not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the | way is shown to him through you that you may find it, walking by his |
| Tx:25.42 | upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the | way to Heaven or to hell as you perceive him. But forget not this— |
| Tx:25.42 | this—the role you give to him is given you, and you will walk the | way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on yourself. |
| Tx:25.50 | share the attributes of His creation when it opposes it in every | way? |
| Tx:25.53 | depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any | way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form |
| Tx:25.55 | a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the | way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the sight of love, |
| Tx:25.57 | show him he is mad. This One but points to an alternative, another | way of looking at what he has seen before and recognizes as the world |
| Tx:25.66 | still can ask and learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same | way. It is not just that one should lack for what another has. For |
| Tx:25.77 | of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every | way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice |
| Tx:25.81 | loss of any kind He cannot see. The world solves problems in another | way. It sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall |
| Tx:25.82 | the murder is not obvious. The Holy Spirit's problem solving is the | way in which the problem ends. It has been solved because it has been |
| Tx:25.84 | first to be unjust. And then must problems rise to block your | way and peace be scattered by the winds of hate. |
| Tx:26.12 | Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any | way. |
| Tx:26.25 | could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives | way to simple justice past the gate that opens into Heaven. No one |
| Tx:26.30 | only, who point in different ways. And you will go along the | way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two directions you can |
| Tx:26.30 | choice is meaningful. For never will another road be made except the | way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to |
| Tx:26.31 | 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 undertake with |
| Tx:26.32 | so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was before the | way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in which the first |
| Tx:26.33 | upon you saw but for an instant, long ago before its unreality gave | way to truth. Not one illusion still remains unanswered in your mind. |
| Tx:26.36 | over. Madness speaks no more. There is no other teacher and no other | way. For what has been undone no longer is. And who can stand upon a |
| Tx:26.38 | in the present? You can not go back. And everything that points the | way in the direction of the past but sets you on a mission whose |
| Tx:26.38 | unfairness to yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your | way because there is no way but His and nowhere can you go except to |
| Tx:26.38 | has He protected you. You cannot lose your way because there is no | way but His and nowhere can you go except to Him. |
| Tx:26.39 | Would God allow His Son to lose his | way along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course |
| Tx:26.47 | us review the principles that we have covered and arrange them in a | way that summarizes all that must occur for healing to be possible. |
| Tx:26.51 | 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 as answer to |
| Tx:26.88 | are innocent of this and victimized despite your innocence? Whatever | way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. Someone must |
| Tx:26.90 | sparkle that salvation brought can you perceive to lighten up your | way. And so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the |
| Tx:27.1 | and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle | way, and you will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place |
| Tx:27.8 | enjoy their benefits or not. The end of life must come, whatever | way that life be spent. And so take pleasure in the quickly passing |
| Tx:27.10 | bad nor good. No grounds are offered that it may be judged in any | way at all. It has no life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart |
| Tx:27.12 | The simple | way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the body have no |
| Tx:27.13 | to love, and damaged bodies are accusers. They stand firmly in the | way of trust and peace, proclaiming that the frail can have no trust |
| Tx:27.23 | and different ends. Correction, to a mind so split, must be a | way to punish sins you think are yours in someone else. And thus does |
| Tx:27.36 | has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there must be a | way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already |
| Tx:27.37 | of mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a | way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is |
| Tx:27.38 | its point of view. All questions asked within this world are but a | way of looking, not a question asked. A question asked in hate cannot |
| Tx:27.44 | The only | way to heal is to be healed. The miracle extends without your help, |
| Tx:27.51 | have been properly perceived but never violated. Fear you not the | way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One within |
| Tx:27.63 | that is needed is you look upon the problem as it is, and not the | way that you have set it up. How could there be another way to solve |
| Tx:27.63 | and not the way that you have set it up. How could there be another | way to solve a problem which is very simple but has been obscured by |
| Tx:27.68 | suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. Nor did you in any | way request them for yourself. This is how all illusions come about. |
| Tx:28.5 | does not seek to use it as a means to keep the past, but rather as a | way to let it go. Memory holds the message it receives and does what |
| Tx:28.6 | the past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a | way to hold the past against the now. |
| Tx:28.13 | has gone. There is no past to keep its fearful image in the | way of glad awakening to present peace. The trumpets of eternity |
| Tx:28.15 | when memory of God has come to take the place of loss? What better | way to close the little gap between illusions and reality than to |
| Tx:28.24 | final step with which salvation, which proceeds to go the other | way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has gone before, |
| Tx:28.28 | present. Here is where we must begin. And having started, will the | way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the |
| Tx:28.38 | There is a | way of finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of |
| Tx:28.55 | been set. And if that path is changed, it walks as easily another | way. It takes no sides and judges not the road it travels. It |
| Tx:29.1 | where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no | way in which a gap could be conceived of in the wholeness that is |
| Tx:29.3 | are past, but this one still remains to block your path and make the | way to light seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had |
| Tx:29.10 | does an easy path, so clearly marked it is impossible to lose the | way, seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult for you to follow? Is |
| Tx:29.10 | you see it as the road to hell instead of looking on it as a simple | way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to find yourself in Heaven and |
| Tx:29.10 | understand there is no loss, you will have some regrets about the | way that you have chosen. And you will not see the many gains your |
| Tx:29.22 | Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give | way to light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming |
| Tx:29.23 | There, in its place, God's Witness has set forth the gentle | way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to |
| Tx:29.23 | your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make | way for love, which you did not create, but which you can extend. On |
| Tx:29.26 | not then be willing to awake, for which the miracle prepares the | way. |
| Tx:29.36 | and will continue in death's services. Each form it takes in some | way calls for death. And those who serve the lord of death have come |
| Tx:29.53 | deceive you. Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some | way, you believe they will complete your little self [and let you |
| Tx:29.55 | and been kept apart? What hand could be held up to block God's | way? Whose voice could make demand He enter not? The |
| Tx:29.57 | change, the peace of God, forever given to all living things, give | way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving |
| Tx:29.70 | he is remembering what he forgot when judgment seemed to be the | way to save him from its penalty. |
| Tx:30.2 | think about the kind of day you want and tell yourself there is a | way in which this very day can happen just like that. Then try again |
| Tx:30.14 | already gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a different | way from what your version of the question asks will gain momentum |
| Tx:30.17 | This much is obvious and paves the | way for the next easy step. |
| Tx:30.18 | 5. Having decided that you do not like the | way you feel, what could be easier than to continue with, |
| Tx:30.20 | that you want and that you need, because you do not like the | way you feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you go ahead |
| Tx:30.23 | I want another | way to look at this. |
| Tx:30.26 | Perhaps there is another | way to look at this. What can I lose by asking? |
| Tx:30.64 | join Him. Now that you have come, would He delay in showing you the | way that He must walk with you? His blessing lies on you as surely as |
| Tx:30.65 | right, and what you pay for is not happiness. Be speeded on your | way by honesty, and let not your experiences here deceive in |
| Tx:30.70 | This is not pardon. For it would assume that, by responding in a | way which is not justified, your pardon will become the answer to |
| Tx:30.78 | from 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 |
| Tx:31.15 | but the illusion it is free, for it will have one outcome either | way. Thus is it really not a choice at all. The leader and the |
| Tx:31.20 | his progress do you count your own. And we go separately along the | way unless you keep him safely by your side. |
| Tx:31.23 | decide to 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 |
| Tx:31.25 | cannot be given while you walk alone, and so you cannot see which | way you go. And thus there is confusion and a sense of endless |
| Tx:31.25 | road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight but cannot make the | way itself grow dark. And He Who travels with you has the light. |
| Tx:31.35 | are to one another. Men have died on seeing this because they saw no | way except the pathways offered by the world. And learning they led |
| Tx:31.36 | road, another person, or another place when you have learned the | way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its |
| Tx:31.37 | Is it not needful that he should begin with this, to seek another | way instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what |
| Tx:31.39 | following a road away from it. This makes no sense and cannot be the | way. To you who seem to find this course to be too difficult to |
| Tx:31.39 | its direction, not away from it. And every road that leads the other | way will not advance the purpose to be found. If this be difficult to |
| Tx:31.50 | world's laws and never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the | way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you |
| Tx:31.50 | realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit find a | way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone if any |
| Tx:31.54 | concept of the self from what is wholly passive and at least makes | way for active choice and some acknowledgment that interaction must |
| Tx:31.65 | Only in arrogance could you conceive that you must make the | way to Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the |
| Tx:31.73 | are in your mind to use, and you can see yourself another | way. Would you not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation |
| Tx:31.92 | Son and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the | way to his salvation and release. Choose once again what you would |
| W1:3.1 | Apply this idea in the same | way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. |
| W1:8.3 | that it is filled with real ideas, is the first step to opening the | way to vision. |
| W1:10.3 | “thoughts” means that you are not thinking. This is merely another | way of repeating our earlier statement that your mind is really a |
| W1:13.4 | or so at most each time, are to be practiced in a somewhat different | way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat today's idea to |
| W1:15.3 | will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the | way to it. |
| W1:17.1 | first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other | way around. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn |
| W1:17.1 | to believe that 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 |
| W1:17.1 | is not 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 |
| W1:22.1 | Today's idea accurately describes the | way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the world. |
| W1:23.1 | The idea for today contains the only | way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; |
| W1:23.1 | Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But this | way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the |
| W1:24.1 | you happy. Therefore you have no guide to appropriate action and no | way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your |
| W1:25.3 | Another | way of describing the goals you now perceive as valuable is to say |
| W1:25.5 | that they are meaningless, rather than “good” or “bad,” is the only | way to accomplish this. The idea for today is a step in this |
| W1:28.1 | you are willing at least to make them now, you have started on the | way to keeping them. And we are still at the beginning. |
| W1:30.2 | from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the | way you see. |
| W1:33.4 | There is another | way of looking at this. |
| W1:34.1 | today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the other | way of seeing. Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must |
| W1:34.5 | and made whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any | way. The purpose is to protect yourself from temptation throughout |
| W1:35.1 | Today's idea does not describe the | way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will |
| W1:35.8 | You should not think of these terms in an abstract | way. They will occur to you as various situations, personalities and |
| W1:37.2 | There is no other | way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's |
| W1:37.2 | of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other | way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. |
| W1:39.8 | your salvation. Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this | way: |
| W1:41.7 | You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The | way will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can |
| W1:43.8 | relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal | way. Thoughts such as: |
| W1:43.15 | which may occur, particularly to those which distress you in any | way. For this kind of application, use this form: |
| W1:45.1 | just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any | way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you think |
| W1:47.1 | aware of all the facets of any problem and to resolve it in such a | way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that gives |
| W1:49.1 | through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any | way. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant |
| W1:52.2 | reality as an illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any | way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by nothing. |
| W1:53.6 | thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's | way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him |
| W1:57.4 | [33] There is another | way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the world is not |
| W1:57.4 | of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another | way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts |
| W1:64.1 | Today's idea is merely another | way of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of |
| W1:64.5 | There is no other | way. Therefore every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your |
| W1:65.1 | all the other goals you have invented for yourself. This is the only | way in which you can take your rightful place among the saviors of |
| W1:65.1 | your rightful place among the saviors of the world. This is the only | way in which you can say and mean, “My only function is the one God |
| W1:65.1 | mean, “My only function is the one God gave me.” This is the only | way in which you can find peace of mind. |
| W1:68.9 | Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any | way. At the end of the practice period tell yourself: |
| W1:69.5 | do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only | way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of |
| W1:70.2 | yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset you in any | way. |
| W1:70.4 | have put the remedy for sickness where it cannot help. That is the | way your mind has worked, but hardly His. He wants you to be healed, |
| W1:70.8 | salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this | way: |
| W1:71.15 | for today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better | way to spend a half-minute or less than to remember the Source of |
| W1:73.14 | period under Their guidance. Join with Them as They lead the | way. |
| W1:74.11 | After you have cleared your mind in this | way, close your eyes and try to experience the peace to which your |
| W1:78.2 | the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We will reverse the | way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not |
| W1:78.8 | of God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a different | way and see our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given |
| W1:80.2 | and conviction. You have recognized your only problem, opening the | way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid |
| W1:R2.4 | Regard these practice periods as dedications to the | way, the truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, |
| W1:82.7 | This may threaten my ego but cannot change my function in any | way. |
| W1:86.5 | I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane | way. I would accept God's plan for salvation and be happy. |
| W1:95.11 | It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another | way in which you would defend illusions against the truth. Let all |
| W1:96.8 | God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the | way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His |
| W1:97.7 | and leads you out of darkness, nor will you be able to forget the | way again. |
| W1:98.2 | we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our | way, for we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed |
| W1:98.11 | enable you to understand your special function. He will open up the | way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer |
| W1:99.12 | and start your longer practice periods with this instruction in the | way of truth: |
| W1:101.4 | savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation and attempt in every | way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he |
| W1:104.8 | So do we clear the | way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already |
| W1:105.4 | Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different | way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are |
| W1:106.2 | Voice, Which silences the thunder of the meaningless and shows the | way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to |
| W1:106.8 | Today we practice giving, not the | way you understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should |
| W1:106.10 | you came and which will free the world from thinking giving is a | way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to understand and to |
| W1:109.5 | by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any | way at all. |
| W1:109.8 | comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their | way alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing and see the |
| W1:R3.9 | inclined to practice only at appointed times and then go on your | way to other things without applying what you learned to them. As a |
| W1:119.2 | 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 safely in the Mind of God. |
| W1:121.1 | key to meaning in a world which seems to make no sense. Here is the | way to safety in apparent dangers which appear to threaten you at |
| W1:121.8 | will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the | way to you. Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are |
| W1:122.10 | the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. And now the | way is short that yet we travel. We are close indeed to the appointed |
| W1:124.1 | and which heals. At one with God and with the universe, we go our | way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with |
| W1:124.2 | give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the | way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little |
| W1:124.2 | a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the | way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with |
| W1:124.5 | We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives | way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the |
| W1:126.2 | have no effect on them, and their appeals for help are not in any | way related to your own. You further think that they can sin without |
| W1:127.1 | you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a | way of loving one, another way of loving still another. Love is one. |
| W1:127.1 | kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another | way of loving still another. Love is one. It has no separate parts |
| W1:128.1 | nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that you can use in any | way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this |
| W1:131.2 | Goals which are meaningless are not attained. There is no | way to reach them, for the means by which you strive for them are |
| W1:131.8 | earth the other's sorry outcome that is Heaven's opposite in every | way. |
| W1:131.16 | swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the | way, so that all darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so |
| W1:132.11 | What is the lesson for today except another | way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? |
| W1:132.12 | you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the world in every | way. And as it was His thought by which you were created, so it is |
| W1:134.8 | truth. By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens up the | way to truth, which had been blocked by dreams of guilt. |
| W1:134.9 | Now are you free to follow in the | way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has |
| W1:134.9 | gift of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very simple | way to find the door to true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in |
| W1:134.12 | lifts his foot to stride ahead, a star is left behind to point the | way to those who follow him. |
| W1:134.14 | and in peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the | way for all our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share |
| W1:135.17 | plays no part at all, for present confidence directs the | way. |
| W1:136.12 | to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in any | way. What is created is apart from all of this. Defenses are plans to |
| W1:138.1 | Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for contradiction is the | way we make what we perceive and what we think is real. Creation |
| W1:139.9 | reality, but merely to accept the truth about yourself and go your | way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this that we are |
| W1:R4.1 | we review the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a | way as will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve. |
| W1:151.6 | yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the | way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of |
| W1:151.11 | circumstance, and every happening which seems to touch on you in any | way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you |
| W1:155.1 | There is a | way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. |
| W1:155.1 | you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the | way will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you |
| W1:155.2 | own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the | way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk |
| W1:155.5 | sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind. This is the | way appointed for you now. You walk this path as others walk, nor do |
| W1:155.5 | serve them while you serve yourself and set their footsteps on the | way which God has opened up to you, and them through you. |
| W1:155.6 | through illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the | way you call to them that they may follow you. |
| W1:155.7 | you to lead your brothers from the ways of death and set them on the | way to happiness. Their suffering is but illusion. Yet they need a |
| W1:155.9 | with which they can identify, something they understand to lead the | way. |
| W1:155.10 | no distance between truth and you. And all illusions walking in the | way you traveled will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to |
| W1:155.10 | holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth lead the | way. You know not where you go, but One Who knows goes with you. Let |
| W1:155.11 | the truth. 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 |
| W1:155.11 | our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose our | way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who |
| W1:155.12 | We walk to God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any | way be holier or more deserving of your effort, of your love, and of |
| W1:155.12 | of your effort, of your love, and of your full intent? What | way could give you more than everything or offer less and still |
| W1:155.12 | now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What | way but this could be a path that you would choose instead? |
| W1:155.13 | Your feet are safely set upon the | way that leads the world to God. Look not to ways which seem to lead |
| W1:155.15 | I will step back and let Him lead the | way, for I would walk along the road to Him. |
| W1:156.6 | This is the | way salvation works. As you step back, the Light in you steps forward |
| W1:157.3 | return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the | way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into |
| W1:158.2 | found early in the text. Experience cannot be shared directly in the | way that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are |
| W1:158.11 | has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is reflected in a | way so accurate its image shares its unseen holiness; its likeness |
| W1:159.10 | appointed it be given you? Judge not God's Son, but follow in the | way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven |
| W1:160.6 | no home wherever he may look, for he has made return impossible. His | way is lost except a miracle will search him out and show him that he |
| W1:163.7 | Their stronger will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave | way to death. And with the Father died the Son as well. |
| W1:165.2 | you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your | way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and |
| W1:166.6 | them. Yet is he really tragic when you see that he is following the | way he chose and needs but realize Who walks with him and open up his |
| W1:166.7 | to show this is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed | way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth and |
| W1:166.9 | outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion and go the | way you chose without your Self. |
| W1:166.13 | who teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another | way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the happiness that |
| W1:170.5 | means by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined | way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, |
| W1:170.13 | at last. The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made | way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty. |
| W1:R5.2 | Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a | way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe |
| W1:R5.2 | does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the | way for him. |
| W1:R5.3 | to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the | way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will |
| W1:R5.8 | teaches, seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the | way that led him out and now will lead you out with him. God's Son is |
| W1:R5.9 | and is forgot. I am renewed each time a brother learns there is a | way from misery and pain. I am reborn each time a brother's mind |
| W1:R5.11 | To Him we go together. Take your brother's hand, for this is not a | way we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me. Our Father |
| W1:173.2 | [155] I will step back and let Him lead the | way. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
| W1:I2.1 | it sure that you will give your total willingness to following the | way the course sets forth. |
| W1:181.3 | in practicing today, we first let all such little focuses give | way to our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We |
| W1:181.4 | that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose your | way again. How could this matter? For the past is gone, the future |
| W1:181.5 | within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks our | way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed |
| W1:182.12 | it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have made. And now the | way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at last. Be still a |
| W1:184.4 | This is the | way reality is made by partial vision, purposefully set against the |
| W1:185.6 | Whatever form the lesson takes is planned for him in such a | way that he cannot mistake it if his asking is sincere. And if he |
| W1:186.3 | in you who are His Son. It does not ask that you be different in any | way from what you are. What could humility request but this? And what |
| W1:186.5 | There is one | way and only one to be released from the imprisonment your plan to |
| W1:188.6 | world and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the | way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things |
| 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 |
| W1:189.8 | Is it not He Who knows the | way to you? You need not know the way to Him. Your part is simply to |
| W1:189.8 | Is it not He Who knows the way to you? You need not know the | way to Him. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have |
| W1:189.8 | nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you. The | way to reach Him is merely to let Him be. For in that way is your |
| W1:189.8 | to you. The way to reach Him is merely to let Him be. For in that | way is your reality acclaimed as well. |
| W1:189.9 | And so today we do not choose the | way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with |
| W1:189.9 | be true, and can be surely reached. God knows His Son and knows the | way to him. He does not need His Son to show Him how to find His way. |
| W1:189.9 | the way 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 |
| W1:189.10 | Father, we do not know the | way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not |
| W1:189.10 | cherish no beliefs of what we are or who created us. Yours is the | way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, |
| W1:190.5 | pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any | way. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring |
| W1:190.8 | a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little joys give | way before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits to end all joy |
| W1:191.5 | gift he gives to everyone in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the | way to happiness that changed his whole perception of the world. |
| W1:192.8 | the jailer lives, along with him. And it is on his freedom that the | way to liberty depends for both of them. |
| W1:192.9 | prisoner. Release instead of bind, for thus are you made free. The | way is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold |
| W1:192.10 | of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the | way to freedom now. Deny him not. His Father's Love for him belongs |
| W1:193.13 | correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred Son in any | way. He would ensure his holy rest remain untroubled and serene, |
| W1:193.15 | kept apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the | way to look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His |
| W1:193.16 | of the one before. The chains of time are easily unloosened in this | way. |
| W1:193.17 | of time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a | way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him |
| W1:194.6 | which rules your mind, a habit in your problem-solving repertoire, a | way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the |
| W1:194.7 | love? For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his | way to present peace and certainty of care the world can never |
| W1:195.2 | sane refuse to take the steps which He directs and follow in the | way He sets before them to escape a prison that they thought |
| W1:195.5 | or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the | way of hatred and the path of death. All these go with you. Let us |
| W1:195.7 | them. For if we can direct them to the peace that we would find, the | way is opening at last to us. An ancient door is swinging free again; |
| W1:195.8 | Walk then in gratitude, the | way of love. For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. |
| W1:195.10 | Our gratitude will pave the | way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever |
| W1:195.10 | to Him is one with His to you. For love can walk no road except the | way of gratitude, and thus we go who walk the way to God. |
| W1:195.10 | no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who walk the | way to God. |
| W1:196.4 | freedom. Let us take this step today that we may quickly go the | way salvation shows us, taking every step in its appointed sequence |
| W1:198.4 | suffering, and finally away from death. How could there be another | way, when this one is the plan of God Himself? And why would you |
| W1:200.7 | the world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another | way and find the peace of God. |
| W1:200.8 | and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the | way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless |
| W1:200.8 | journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors. Now the | way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies |
| W1:200.9 | Let us not lose our | way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if |
| W1:200.11 | and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy | way to leave the world of ambiguity and to replace our shifting goals |
| W1:R6.11 | Him to teach us how to go, and trusting Him completely for the | way each practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to |
| W1:213.1 | of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the | way I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my |
| W1:215.1 | [195] Love is the | way I walk in gratitude. The Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks |
| W1:215.1 | walks with me in love. And I give thanks to Him for showing me the | way to go. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created |
| W1:220.1 | is no peace except the peace of God. Let me not wander from the | way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me |
| W2:I.7 | unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought to find our | way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the way, |
| W2:I.7 | our way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the | way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not forget |
| W2:I.8 | search for truth and God, Who is its one Creator. We have found the | way He chose for us and made the choice to follow it as He would have |
| W2:I.10 | need but be still and let all things be healed. We will accept the | way God's plan will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is |
| W2:I.10 | We will accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the | way it started. Now it is complete. This year has brought us to |
| W2:225.1 | —beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the | way Your loving Son is led along to You! |
| W2:225.2 | Brother, we find that stillness now. The | way is open. Now we follow it in peace together. You have reached |
| W2:WS.1 | Salvation is a promise made by God that you would find your | way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time |
| W2:242.1 | for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who knows the | way to Him. |
| W2:242.2 | You will give us everything we want and that will help us find the | way to You. |
| W2:246.1 | Let me not think that I can find the | way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's |
| W2:246.2 | I will accept the | way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I |
| W2:256.1 | The | way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin |
| W2:256.1 | The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other | way. If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there |
| W2:256.1 | cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find a | way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could be |
| W2:256.2 | And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed | way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice and find the way Your |
| W2:256.2 | way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice and find the | way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us. |

| W2:278.2 | a dream of fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I choose the | way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe |
| W2:280.2 | Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the | way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You |
| 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 he is, and that he is as You |
| W2:286.2 | The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the | way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will |
| W2:287.2 | You are my goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have? What | way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? And what |
| W2:287.2 | You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You created him. What | way but this could I expect to recognize my Self and be at one with |
| W2:288.1 | This is the thought that leads the | way to You and brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my |
| W2:288.1 | created one with me. My brother's is the hand that leads me on the | way to You. His sins are in the past along with mine. And I am saved |
| W2:288.1 | is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I will lose the | way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not attack the |
| W2:291.2 | accept what comes from You instead of from myself. I do not know the | way to You. But You are wholly certain. Father, lead Your Son along |
| W2:297.1 | formula. And I, who would be saved, would make it mine to be the | way I live within a world that needs salvation and that will be saved |
| W2:298.2 | Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any | way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am |
| W2:298.2 | not follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your | way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and |
| W2:300.2 | seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our | way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice and learned exactly |
| W2:WISC.2 | creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's | way because it shines on everyone as one. And thus is oneness |
| W2:WISC.3 | Second Coming ends the lessons which the Holy Spirit teaches, making | way for the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary |
| W2:302.2 | Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing us the | way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by |
| W2:308.1 | I have conceived of time in such a | way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to |

| W2:315.1 | who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the | way to me and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely |
| W2:317.1 | of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the | way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize |
| W2:317.2 | Father, Your | way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to |
| W2:317.2 | do I choose to go; what it would have me do, I choose to do. Your | way is certain and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there, |
| W2:321.1 | guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the | way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with |
| W2:321.1 | Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the | way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is |
| W2:321.2 | with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain | way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's |
| W2:324.1 | the One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the | way I am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed |
| W2:324.1 | role to take, and every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the | way. I can but choose to wander off a while and then return. Your |
| W2:324.1 | me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in the | way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the way to You as You direct |
| W2:324.1 | all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the | way to You as You direct me and would have me go. |
| W2:324.2 | So let us follow One Who knows the | way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an instant from |
| W2:325.1 | journeys on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and find the | way to Heaven and to God. |
| W2:328.1 | and that our independence from the rest of God's creation is the | way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, |

| W2:331.1 | Could he make a plan for his damnation and be left without a certain | way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never leave me |

| W2:342.2 | take you home with me. And as we go, the world goes with us on the | way to God. |
| W2:345.1 | this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the | way that I must travel to remember You. |

| W2:FL.2 | is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His | way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending |

| W2:E.5 | Him for guidance and for peace and right direction. Joy attends our | way. For we go homeward to an open door which God has held unclosed |
| W2:E.6 | our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His | way and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, |
| M:1.2 | Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long | way off. It is because of this that the plan of the teachers was |
| M:3.3 | levels of teaching seems to be something different. Perhaps the best | way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to say |
| M:3.4 | only, we can speak of levels of teaching. Using the term in this | way, the second level of teaching is a more sustained relationship in |

| M:4.15 | this has meaning to the sane? Who chooses hell when he perceives a | way to Heaven? And who would choose the weakness that must come from |
| M:4.16 | sure no harm can come to them. They hold His gifts and follow in His | way because God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy is their song |
| M:4.18 | obviousness of its reversal of the world's thinking. In the clearest | way possible and at the simplest of levels, the word means the exact |
| M:4.24 | Forgiveness is the final goal of the curriculum. It paves the | way for what goes far beyond all learning. The curriculum makes no |
| M:6.1 | it for the patient. Yet what if the patient uses sickness as a | way of life, believing healing is the way to death? When this is so, |
| M:6.1 | the patient uses sickness as a way of life, believing healing is the | way to death? When this is so, a sudden healing might precipitate |
| M:10.3 | of his judgments on everyone and everything involved in them in any | way. And one would have to be certain there is no distortion in his |
| M:10.4 | effects of His judgment on everyone and everything involved in any | way. And He is wholly fair to everyone, for there is no distortion in |
| M:11.3 | —one without meaning and devoid of sense, yet out of which no | way seems possible—God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. |
| M:13.8 | holds out His Word to you, for He has need of teachers. What other | way is there to save His Son? |
| M:14.1 | Their uselessness is recognized, and they are gone. How but in this | way are all illusions ended? They have been brought to truth, and |
| M:16.2 | do apply, although each one must use them as best he can in his own | way. Routines as such are dangerous because they easily become gods |

| M:21.4 | The teacher of God must, however, learn to use words in a new | way. Gradually, he learns how to let his words be chosen for him by |
| M:21.4 | case of 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 |
| M:22.2 | out to him. It is only the end that is certain. Anywhere along the | way, the necessary realization of inclusiveness may reach him. If the |

| Tx:11.43 | of attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived yourself as | weak. Because you had attacked yourself and believed that the attack |

| Tx:15.90 | you invest in guilt, you withdraw from God. And your sight grows | weak and dim and limited, for you have attempted to separate the |

| W1:91.4 | your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of | weakness hides will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in |
| W1:91.5 | about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try to leave your | weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply, as you instruct |
| W1:91.12 | on the experience of strength. Remember that all sense of | weakness is associated with the belief that you are a body, a belief |
| W1:92.1 | 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 tied up |
| W1:92.3 | as it is His Mind with which you think. His strength denies your | weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body's eyes, |
| W1:92.3 | with which you think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your | weakness that sees through the body's eyes, peering about in darkness |
| W1:92.5 | Strength is the truth about you; | weakness is an idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be |
| W1:92.5 | comes from truth and shines with light its Source has given it; | weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on |
| W1:92.7 | Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in | |
| W1:95.10 | This tolerance for | weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to |

| W1:111.3 | strength are one. I see through strength, the gift of God to me. My | weakness is the dark His gift dispels by giving me His strength to |
| W1:135.2 | threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent | weakness, a belief that there is danger which has power to call on |
| W1:137.8 | sickly opposites. Healing is strength. For by its gentle hand is | weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off within a body free |
| W1:153.2 | defense. Yet is defensiveness a double threat. For it attests to | weakness and sets up a system of defense that cannot work. Now are |
| W1:153.6 | that choice is always made between His strength and your own | weakness seen apart from Him. Defenselessness can never be attacked |
| W1:153.7 | Defensiveness is | weakness. It proclaims you have denied the Christ and come to fear |
| W1:153.19 | we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in Christ and let our | weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us. We |
| W1:153.19 | that He remains beside us through the day and never leaves our | weakness unsupported by His strength. |
| W1:154.1 | 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 is often |
| W1:197.2 | who know not what their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and | weakness must become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and |
| M:4.15 | hell when he perceives a way to Heaven? And who would choose the | weakness that must come from harm in place of the unfailing, |
| M:5.2 | worth. For sickness is an election, a decision. It is the choice of | weakness in the mistaken conviction that it is strength. When this |

| M:7.5 | This illusion can take many forms. Perhaps there is a fear of | weakness and vulnerability. Perhaps there is a fear of failure and |
| M:25.4 | same strengths an opportunity to glorify itself. Strengths turned to | weakness are tragedy indeed. Yet what is not given to the Holy Spirit |
| M:25.4 | indeed. Yet what is not given to the Holy Spirit must be given to | weakness, for what is withheld from love is given to fear and will be |
| M:29.7 | Remember you are His completion and His Love. Remember your | weakness is His strength. But do not read this hastily or wrongly. If |

| Tx:29.43 | Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will | weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, |
| W1:73.6 | very simple. Do you really want to be in hell? Do you really want to | weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments which seek to |
| W1:186.8 | from mourner to ecstatic bliss of loved and loving. We can laugh or | weep and greet the day with welcome or with tears. Our very being |
| W1:191.11 | frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to | weep, and suffer pain, hear this: all power is given you in earth and |
| W1:199.8 | with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's Son will | weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your |

| M:14.5 | it is a place of tears. Where there is laughter, who can longer | weep? And only complete forgiveness brings all this to bless the |

weight (6) | ||
| Tx:22.49 | Be not deceived by the illusions it presents of size and thickness, | weight, solidity, and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes |
| Tx:24.68 | nothing to add and nothing taken from—not born of size nor | weight nor time nor held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. Here |
| Tx:28.65 | you build your home upon what will collapse beneath a feather's | weight? |
| W1:5.5 | may find it hard to be indiscriminate and to avoid giving greater | weight to some subjects than to others. It might help to precede the |

| Tx:19.84 | all its strange devices for deception, all its sick ideas and | weird imaginings. Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the |
| W1:93.3 | meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's Will. These | weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough to prove |
| W1:186.8 | the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the | weird belief that we can make another for ourselves. Our self-made |
| W1:191.3 | own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this | weird, unnatural, and ghostly thought which mocks creation and which |

welcome (100) | ||
| Tx:5.40 | ego welcomes it with all its might. The Holy Spirit counters this | welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and eternity are as closely related |

| Tx:8.42 | their strength to us. God's welcome waits for us all, and He will | welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for |
| Tx:9.17 | time, and its days are numbered. Do not fear the Last Judgment, but | welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's time is borrowed from your |
| Tx:10.20 | your only Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His | welcome. He will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. |
| Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's altar, waiting to | welcome His Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise |
| Tx:11.35 | this place, where God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are | welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet |

| Tx:15.102 | His Oneness can abide with Him there. Love must be total to give Him | welcome, for the Presence of Holiness creates the holiness which |

| Tx:19.55 | For in your new relationship am I made welcome. And where I am made | welcome, there I am. |
| Tx:19.56 | I am made | welcome in the state of grace, which means you have at last forgiven |

| Tx:20.38 | in that single heart beat is the unity of love proclaimed and given | welcome. Peace to your holy relationship, which has the power to hold |
| Tx:20.46 | apart and hide. It walks in sunlight, open-eyed and calm, in smiling | welcome and in sincerity so simple and so obvious it cannot be |

| Tx:6.33 | unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it | well. He can inspire perception and lead it toward God by making it |
| Tx:6.45 | speaks first because it is capricious and does not mean its maker | well. That is because it believes, and correctly, that its maker may |

| Tx:21.11 | you this and not the body. You know the ancient song and know it | well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of |
| Tx:21.12 | song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as | well. The blindness which they made will not withstand the memory of |
| Tx:21.56 | and belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as | well as truth. But reason has no place at all in madness, nor can it |
| Tx:22.27 | overlooks the world. Would you not have this holy home be yours as | well? No misery is here, but only joy. |
| Tx:23.49 | the means for God's extension, and what is His must be His Son's as | well. Either the Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life |
| Tx:23.52 | a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of peace. This you know | well. When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly choose |
| Tx:24.33 | specialness instead of them. The print of nails are on your hands as | well. Forgive your Father. It was not His Will that you be crucified. |
| Tx:24.38 | is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and consider | well, whether it is your wish that you might see your brother |
| Tx:24.39 | him, for you are one. And so is specialness his “enemy” and yours as | well. |
| Tx:24.54 | of specialness that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as | well. And let the fear of God no longer hold the vision you were |
| Tx:24.57 | and he is risen from the past. He who condemned himself, and you as | well, is given you to save from condemnation along with you. And both |
| Tx:24.67 | you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as | well as End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This |
| Tx:24.71 | your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in whom I am | well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means to serve his |
| Tx:24.72 | for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose | well and prove its own reality to you. |
| Tx:25.49 | it is given you. All that you made can serve salvation easily and | well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ |
| Tx:25.66 | God knows not of this. But justice does He know and knows it | well. For He is wholly fair to everyone. |
| Tx:25.72 | own justice does He recognize all you deserve but understands as | well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His special |
| Tx:25.72 | innocent deserve. And every one that you accept brings joy to Him as | well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by each one you |
| Tx:26.76 | Spirit's purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as | well? |
| Tx:26.77 | be condemned, God is in him. And never will you know He is in you as | well, while you attack His chosen home and battle with His host. |
| Tx:26.82 | dwell within the temple offered them, to be Their resting-place as | well as yours. What hatred has released to love becomes the brightest |
| Tx:27.10 | Pictured without a purpose, it is seen as neither sick nor | well, nor bad nor good. No grounds are offered that it may be judged |
| Tx:27.15 | accusers. They cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as | well. For no one in whom true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds |
| Tx:27.19 | guilt upon your brother and yourself. Your healing saves him pain as | well as you, and you are healed because you wished him well. This is |
| Tx:27.19 | him pain as well as you, and you are healed because you wished him | well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing sees no |
| Tx:27.39 | But tell it what you want, and it will serve you lovingly and | well.” And this is not a question, for it tells you what you want and |
| Tx:27.47 | reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to fear?” Consider | well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. A dying world |
| Tx:28.19 | —that you have caused the dream and can accept another dream as | well. But for this change in content of the dream, it must be |
| Tx:28.21 | but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of himself as sick or | well, depressed or happy, but without a stable cause with guaranteed |
| Tx:28.41 | the gap between you, or you must believe that it is your reality as | well as his. You cannot do his part, but this you do when you become |
| Tx:28.42 | if you took your own away would he be free of them and of his own as | well. Your dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the truth of |
| Tx:28.63 | to be a form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are sick or | well accordingly. |
| Tx:29.42 | Let this be changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as | well. For nothing here but is defined as what you see it for. How |
| Tx:29.60 | 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 Himself. No |
| Tx:30.2 | The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake, will put you | well ahead. And if you find resistance strong and dedication weak, |
| Tx:30.9 | These two procedures, practiced | well, will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition |
| Tx:30.27 | a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as | well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who |
| Tx:30.31 | The second rule as | well is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you |
| Tx:30.31 | are made by you and your advisor for yourself and for the world as | well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it will be what |
| Tx:30.35 | Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and yours as | well, reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a |
| Tx:30.68 | an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost as | well as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you will |
| Tx:31.16 | you gave the leader's role when you would have it, and you hate as | well his not assuming it at times you want to let the follower in you |
| Tx:31.17 | is life 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 |
| Tx:31.17 | hear in him is but your own. What does he ask you for? And listen | well! For he is asking what will come to you because you see an image |
| Tx:31.26 | and to every situation that occurs. Learn this and learn it | well, for it is here delay of happiness is shortened by a span of |
| Tx:31.43 | a concept of the self adjusted to the world's reality. It fits it | well. For this an image is that suits a world of shadows and |
| Tx:31.48 | points to him, unwavering and deadly in its aim. It points to you as | well, but this is kept still deeper in the mists below the face of |
| Tx:31.51 | you should do in every circumstance? He must have made the world as | well as you to have such prescience in the things to come. |
| Tx:31.70 | perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of him as | well. By focusing upon the good in him, the body grows decreasingly |
| Tx:31.81 | 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 of |
| W1:4.2 | specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use “good” thoughts as | well as “bad.” None of them represents your real thoughts, which are |
| W1:23.3 | is a pictorial representation of your own attack thoughts. One can | well ask if this can be called seeing. Is not fantasy a better word |
| W1:29.1 | explains every idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as | well. Today's idea is the whole basis for vision. |
| W1:30.4 | to this idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as | well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's idea. Real |
| W1:30.5 | To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this idea as | well, devote several practice periods to applying today's idea with |
| W1:35.5 | exercise period, however, more self-inflating descriptive terms may | well cross your mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your |
| W1:36.1 | part of God's. And because you are holy, your sight must be holy as | well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin a |
| W1:40.2 | not miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite | well under almost any circumstance, if you really want to. |
| W1:43.14 | This form is equally applicable to strangers and to those you know | well. Try, in fact, not to make distinctions of this kind at all. |
| W1:45.2 | are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as | well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts |
| W1:46.4 | If you are doing the exercises | well, you should have no difficulty in finding a number of people you |
| W1:53.2 | 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 I look to my |
| W1:54.3 | of mind can change. And so I also know the world I see can change as | well. |
| W1:54.4 | And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as | well as mine. |
| W1:62.4 | for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around you as | well as those who seem to be far away in space and time to share this |
| W1:64.5 | of it in the morning and again at night and all through the day as | well. |
| W1:65.4 | 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 will pursue. This |
| W1:70.3 | in your own mind entails the realization that salvation is there as | well. |
| W1:70.7 | follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be | well to decide in advance when would be a good time to lay aside for |
| W1:72.4 | is God attacked, for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as | well. A creator wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable. |
| W1:72.7 | cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God made you a body. Very | well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself |
| W1:73.7 | want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as | well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do today. We |
| W1:74.15 | or two every half-hour, with eyes closed if possible, would be | well spent on this today. |
| W1:76.12 | creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as | well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. |
| W1:76.14 | as often as possible today—at least four or five times an hour, as | well as in response to any temptation to experience ourselves as |
| W1:78.7 | he gave. We will regard his body with its flaws and better points as | well, and we will think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.” |
| W1:78.12 | may share it with them. For you both, and all the sightless ones as | well, we pray: |
| W1:R2.5 | Reaffirm your determination in the shorter practice periods as | well, using the original form of the idea for general application and |
| W1:87.7 | Will of God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as | well. This is part of God's Will for me, however I may see it. |
| W1:94.2 | your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as | well. You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory |
| W1:95.8 | There may | well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have |
| W1:98.11 | then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as | well as Heaven. He will be with you each practice period you share |
| W1:99.9 | You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice | well the idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you |
| W1:100.5 | we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to God's plan as | well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play |
| W1:103.1 | has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as | well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps |
| W1:105.6 | You will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as | well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift |
| W1:107.10 | by the self-same thought which gave the gift of life to Him as | well. He is your brother and so like to you your Father knows that |
| W1:109.10 | doors, and let them come from far across the world, and near as | well—your distant brothers and your closest friends—bid them all |
| W1:R3.7 | them in perfect trust, in perfect confidence that you would use them | well, in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them |
| W1:R3.7 | Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours as | well. |
| W1:R3.10 | Here is another chance to use it | well. In these reviews we stress the need to let your learning not |
| W1:R3.11 | and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the day as | well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods |
| W1:R3.13 | to use each hour and the one to be applied on each half hour as | well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas |
| W1:121.6 | an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as | well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the |
| W1:123.1 | remains, some small objections, and a little hesitance, but we can | well be grateful for our gains, which are far greater than we realize. |
| W1:123.3 | will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as | well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as |
| W1:123.5 | if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are yours as | well. An unheard message will not save the world, however mighty be |
| W1:124.5 | which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as | well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first |
| W1:124.7 | as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as | well that we are saved and healed, that we can save and heal |
| W1:127.4 | There is no limit placed upon Himself, and so are you unlimited as | well. |
| W1:127.5 | upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what you are as | well. Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found |
| 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 |
| W1:131.5 | Be glad that search you must. Be glad as | well to learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really |
| W1:131.14 | the senseless world you think is real. Review the thoughts as | well which are compatible with such a world and which you think are |
| W1:132.19 | realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world as | well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these thoughts to |
| W1:136.1 | what purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as | well its purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a |
| W1:136.19 | has been opened to relief. And you will recognize you practiced | well by this—the body should not feel at all. If you have been |
| W1:136.19 | been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling | well, of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what |
| W1:136.20 | laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it | well, for sickness has become impossible. |
| W1:137.14 | to these thoughts with which we will conclude today at night as | well: |
| W1:137.16 | thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to make | well all that was sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor |
| W1:138.1 | and what we want we choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as | well, for contradiction is the way we make what we perceive and what |
| W1:138.7 | is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your life as | well. |
| W1:140.1 | takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as | well. |
| W1:140.2 | he was sick, and in the dream he found a magic formula to make him | well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains |
| W1:151.10 | Let Him be judge as | well of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His |
| W1:152.3 | 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 has lost |
| W1:152.11 | To recognize God's Son implies as | well that all self-concepts have been laid aside and recognized as |
| W1:153.1 | the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson | well. The world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all |
| W1:153.10 | are among the chosen ones of God by His election and their own as | well? |
| W1:154.2 | selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as | well. Seeing your strengths exactly as they are and equally aware of |
| W1:154.9 | for you the messages of God would have them be received by you as | well. For thus do you identify with Him and claim your own. |
| W1:155.10 | illusions walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as | well, with nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's |
| W1:156.3 | Yet where He is there must be holiness as | well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that |
| W1:157.8 | will 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 |
| W1:158.1 | was given you as knowledge which you cannot lose. It was given as | well to every living thing, for by that knowledge only does it live. |
| W1:158.10 | to give as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you as | well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your |
| W1:158.11 | by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as | well. |
| W1:163.7 | eternal life gave way to death. And with the Father died the Son as | well. |
| W1:163.8 | we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and our own as | well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be |
| W1:166.12 | reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as | well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts and |
| W1:167.4 | becoming different from their own origin, apart from it in kind as | well as distance, time, and form. |
| W1:167.11 | that we share with Him, with all creation, with their thoughts as | well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot separate in |
| W1:181.1 | Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as | well as yours. |
| W1:181.9 | inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our own as | well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world |
| W1:182.5 | the holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as | well. He will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself |
| W1:183.10 | can accept today the part you play in its salvation and your own as | well, and both can be accomplished perfectly. |
| W1:184.2 | is achieved. You see something where nothing is and see as | well nothing where there is unity—a space between all things, |
| W1:184.3 | nameless things were given names and thus reality was given them as | well. For what is named is given meaning and will then be seen as |
| W1:184.9 | the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived by them as | well. They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing, |
| W1:185.10 | peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For them as | well as for yourself you ask but this when you make this request with |
| W1:186.1 | proper role. It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth as | well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save |
| W1:186.2 | suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who knows us | well. |
| W1:187.5 | of them. There is a giver who retains, another who will give as | well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the |
| W1:187.6 | to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as | well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, |
| W1:187.8 | will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as | well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the |
| W1:188.1 | of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as | well. The light came with you from your native home and stayed with |
| W1:188.4 | what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to you as | well. From you salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure, |
| W1:188.7 | God's peace is shining on them, but they must remain with you as | well, for they were born within your mind as yours was born in God's. |
| W1:189.8 | merely to let Him be. For in that way is your reality acclaimed as | well. |
| W1:189.10 | find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as | well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of |
| W1:191.1 | your declaration of release from bondage of the world. And here as | well is all the world released. You do not see what you have done by |
| W1:191.6 | holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as | well that you have freed the world. You have no need to use it |
| W1:194.4 | experience that you have laid the past and present in His hands as | well because the past will punish you no more and future dread will |
| W1:196.11 | 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 disappeared. And |
| W1:197.3 | it release from your illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you as | well, for its release can only mirror yours. Your gratitude is all |
| W1:198.12 | Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as | well. Be kind to both, as you forgive the trespasses you thought them |
| W1:199.5 | the world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as | well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this idea. |
| W1:199.6 | of freedom as its goal, the body serves, and serves its purpose | well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the |
| W1:199.8 | live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then practice | well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your brothers |
| W1:203.1 | from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my own as | well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
| W2:WF.3 | is its purpose and the means by which it would accomplish it as | well. It sets about its furious attempts to smash reality, without |
| W2:224.1 | that Heaven looks to it to give it light. It lights the world as | well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I give the |
| W2:224.1 | the world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as | well I give the world. There is no gift but this that can be either |
| W2:WS.1 | 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 that it has |
| W2:231.2 | my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One as | well Who is our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And |
| W2:233.1 | mine. In place of them, give me Your own. I give You all my acts as | well, that I may do Your will instead of seeking goals which cannot |
| W2:237.2 | I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as | well. Amen. |
| W2:238.1 | be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as | well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that He is safe |
| W2:240.2 | his holiness and feel the love for him that is Your own as | well. |
| W2:WIW.1 | errors vanish. Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as | well. |
| W2:246.2 | Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as | well and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen. |
| 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 |
| W2:248.2 | my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as | well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and |
| W2:WIS.2 | replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its aim as | well as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what |
| W2:257.1 | in my actions. No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them | well. Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. |
| W2:257.2 | have no will but Yours today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as | well if we would reach the peace You will for us. |
| W2:265.2 | I look upon the world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as | well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see |
| W2:WIC.1 | He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another and with God as | well. He is the Thought Which still abides within the Mind That is |
| W2:274.1 | brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as | well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace |
| W2:280.2 | that I give to him is Yours, and what is Yours belongs to me as | well. |
| W2:281.2 | not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is mine to love as | well. |
| W2:291.1 | accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as | well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see |
| 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 has God's |
| W2:WILJ.2 | slips away to nothingness. There it was born, and there it ends as | well. And all the figures in the dream in which the world began go |
| W2:312.2 | this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as | well. |
| W2:315.1 | and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely mine as | well. |
| W2:316.1 | gift a brother has received throughout all time and past all time as | well. My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that |
| W2:317.1 | is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as | well. |
| W2:318.1 | God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as | well. |
| W2:320.2 | Your Will 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 |
| W2:335.2 | In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as | well. |
| W2:343.1 | created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as | well as You. I too must give, and so all things are given unto me |
| W2:348.2 | that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be our will, as | well as His. |
| W2:WAI.2 | that we shared. And thus you joined with me. So what I am are you as | well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor |
| W2:354.1 | His own. And He is like His Father. Thus must I be one with You as | well as Him. For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him? |
| W2:358.1 | me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as | well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You chose |

| M:4.16 | is their song of thanks. And Christ looks down on them in thanks as | well. His need of them is just as great as theirs of Him. How joyous |
| M:4.20 | true for everything that happens now or in the future. The past as | well held no mistakes—nothing that did not serve to benefit the |
| M:4.20 | no mistakes—nothing that did not serve to benefit the world as | well as him to whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not |
| M:11.1 | Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem impossible, as | well as this. His Word has promised peace. It has also promised that |
| M:16.2 | they were set up. Broadly speaking, then, it can be said that it is | well to start the day right. It is always possible to begin again, |
| M:17.1 | his own belief in sin and has condemned himself. He can be sure as | well that he has asked for depression, pain, fear, and disaster to |
| M:22.4 | both in the individual's perception of himself and of all others as | well. Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls forth the |
| M:24.3 | on it were required of him, it would merely limit his usefulness as | well as his own decision-making. Our course is not concerned with any |
| M:25.1 | abilities of which he is unaware. As his awareness increases, he may | well develop abilities that seem quite startling to him. Yet nothing |
| M:26.3 | goal. If it happens, so be it. If it does not happen, so be it as | well. All worldly states must be illusory. If God were reached |
| M:27.3 | him and to last a little while by his destruction. Yet the worms as | well are doomed to be destroyed as certainly. And so do all things |
| M:29.5 | and thank Him for His guidance at night. And your confidence will be | well founded indeed. |
| M:29.8 | join your efforts on behalf of God, knowing they are on my behalf as | well and for all those who walk to God with me. |

| Tx:2.16 | sets you free, but which also shows you clearly that you are free. | Whatever lies you may believe are of no concern to the miracle, which |
| Tx:2.30 | Flight can be undertaken in | whatever direction you choose, but note that the concept itself |
| Tx:2.59 | In fact, if it is truly used, it will inevitably be expressed in | whatever way is most helpful to the receiver[, not the giver]. This |
| Tx:2.90 | even try to “free” the patient by persuading him that he can think | whatever he wants without any real effect at all. |
| Tx:2.99 | Two concepts which cannot coexist are “nothing” and “everything.” To | whatever extent one is believed in, the other has been denied. In the |
| Tx:2.105 | man creates is necessarily a matter of will. It also follows that | whatever he creates is real in his own sight but not necessarily in |
| Tx:3.66 | fear, believing that judgment will someday be used against you. To | whatever extent it is used against you, it is due only to your belief |
| Tx:4.6 | is because the mind is split between the ego and the Soul, so that | whatever the ego makes is incomplete and contradictory. This |
| Tx:4.78 | with everything your mind wishes to undertake. What is the purpose? | Whatever it is, you cannot doubt that it will channelize your efforts |
| Tx:4.98 | communication with everything that is real, including the Soul. To | whatever extent you permit this state to be curtailed, you are |
| Tx:5.63 | Whatever you accept into your mind has reality for you. It is, | |
| Tx:6.60 | He merely shines them away. His light is always the call to awake, | whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and |
| Tx:6.82 | you allow to enter your mind in the light of what God put there. | Whatever is in accord with this light, He retains to strengthen the |
| Tx:7.99 | mind depend at any given moment on what you believe about your mind. | Whatever these beliefs may be, they are the premises which will |
| Tx:8.24 | Power and glory belong to God alone. So do you. God gives | whatever belongs to Him, because He gives of Himself, and everything |
| Tx:8.33 | which He will share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally | whatever is acceptable to Him. Because it is acceptable to Him, it is |
| Tx:9.81 | seem to speak to you, remember that nothing can replace God, and | whatever replacements you have attempted are nothing. |
| Tx:9.85 | you will make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in | whatever form he may appear to you and wherever you think you see |
| Tx:10.5 | place of His Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. In | whatever part of the Mind of God's Son you restore this reality, you |
| Tx:10.20 | welcome. He will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. | Whatever journey you choose to take, He will go with you, waiting. |
| Tx:10.49 | Your recognition that | whatever seems to separate you from God is only fear, regardless of |
| Tx:11.16 | and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. | Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made |
| Tx:11.23 | knows what to do with it. You do not know how to use what He knows. | Whatever is revealed to Him that is not of God is gone. Yet you must |
| Tx:11.26 | Whenever you become angry with a brother, for | whatever reason, you are believing that the ego is to be saved and to |
| Tx:11.41 | eternal 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 |
| 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. This gives it the only |
| Tx:11.56 | remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon | whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as yours. |
| Tx:12.69 | where the ego sees salvation, it sees separation, and so you lose | whatever you have gotten in its name. Therefore ask not of yourselves |
| Tx:13.13 | and if you place your faith in the past, the future will be like it. | Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of your |
| Tx:13.25 | As long as you believe that guilt is justified in any way in anyone | whatever he may do, you will not look within, where you would always |
| Tx:13.39 | can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. | Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever |
| Tx:13.39 | Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit's Voice may be, | whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may |
| Tx:13.39 | Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, | whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You |
| Tx:13.71 | make your invulnerability manifest to everyone, and teach him that | whatever he may try to do to you, your perfect freedom from the |
| Tx:13.89 | You will feel guilty till you learn this. For in the end, | whatever form it takes, your guilt arises from your failure to |
| Tx:14.23 | function is entirely communication. He therefore must remove | whatever interferes with it in order to restore it. Therefore, keep |
| Tx:14.60 | in the past, but its influence determines the present by giving it | whatever meaning it holds for you. Your learning gives the present no |
| Tx:15.23 | have peace, for you will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And | whatever you offer as a substitute is much too poor a gift to satisfy |
| Tx:15.79 | to learn of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to utilize | whatever you offer Him on behalf of this. His concern and care for |
| Tx:15.83 | you what you do not understand. God would respond to every need, | whatever form it takes. And so He has kept this channel open to |
| Tx:15.97 | As host to the ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away | whatever you think and purchase peace. And the payment does not seem |
| Tx:16.35 | necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear, | whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one illusion |
| Tx:16.43 | seem to be gone. All these must be understood for what they are. | Whatever form they take, they are always an attack on the self to |
| Tx:17.16 | what is not there and make of both the slaves of vengeance. And why | whatever reminds you of your past grievances, no matter how distorted |
| Tx:17.27 | nothing God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did. | Whatever fulfills this function not cannot be real. |
| Tx:18.14 | what you would have preferred. Here, you are “free” to make over | whatever seemed to attack you and change it into a tribute to your |
| Tx:18.33 | They are not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness, | whatever else may enter. Concentrate only on this and be not |
| Tx:18.46 | But forget not that your relationship is one, and so it must be that | whatever threatens the peace of one is an equal threat to the other. |
| Tx:19.69 | of itself, but only what is given to it. The body will seem to be | whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you assign to it. |
| Tx:19.71 | become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and | whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will |
| Tx:19.110 | that gives this world and the long journey through this world | whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You |
| Tx:20.17 | The ego is the self-appointed mediator of all relationships, making | whatever adjustments it deems necessary and interposing them between |
| Tx:22.8 | of guilt is only fear. Here is the one emotion that you made, | whatever it may seem to be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of |
| Tx:24.9 | chose to see no specialness of any kind between you? Look fairly at | whatever makes you give each other only partial welcome or would let |
| Tx:24.23 | Specialness is the seal of treachery upon the gift of love. | Whatever serves its purpose must be given to kill. No gift that bears |
| Tx:24.27 | Whatever form of specialness you cherish, you have made sin. | |
| Tx:24.34 | deadly and dangerous, hated and worthy only of destruction. | Whatever gentleness it offers is but deception, but its hate is real. |
| Tx:24.66 | rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is means for nothing. | Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in its holiness and |
| Tx:25.37 | to draw a meaning from the other. Each depends upon the other for | whatever sense it seems to have. And no one could believe in one |
| Tx:25.38 | else,” a “something” to be feared instead of loved. Who would attack | whatever he perceives as wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes |
| Tx:25.39 | to see. Nor do you hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in | whatever form the call is made, that you unite with him and join with |
| Tx:25.58 | to understand it cost him his sanity and stands between him and | whatever hope he has of being sane. Nor is he left without escape |
| Tx:25.66 | that one should lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in | whatever form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any |
| Tx:26.10 | the same approach. The aspects which need solving do not change, | whatever form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many |
| Tx:26.36 | dream be to where he really is? For this is fact and does not change | whatever dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere and |
| Tx:26.62 | purpose they were made to serve. And from their purpose, they derive | whatever meaning that they seem to have. God gave to all illusions |
| Tx:26.62 | that were made another purpose that would justify a miracle, | whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for God |
| Tx:26.85 | limited. If it occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in | whatever form, will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity |
| Tx:26.88 | that you are innocent of this and victimized despite your innocence? | Whatever way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. Someone |
| Tx:27.7 | them paint the picture in which sin is justified, is sickness in | whatever form it takes. |
| Tx:27.8 | them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The end of life must come, | whatever way that life be spent. And so take pleasure in the quickly |
| Tx:27.39 | can bring escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” | Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the same. It asks |
| Tx:27.57 | what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He love | whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's death He |
| Tx:27.68 | himself as making them, and their reality does not depend on him. | Whatever cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what |
| Tx:27.86 | 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 feel, |
| Tx:27.86 | dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, | whatever form it takes. |
| Tx:27.87 | learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain. | Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very |
| Tx:28.38 | certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams | whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You find |
| Tx:29.30 | of love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights | whatever form it takes with love. |
| Tx:30.1 | We seek to make them habits now, so you will have them ready for | whatever need. |
| Tx:30.29 | statement of a simple fact. You will not make decisions by yourself | whatever you decide. For they are made with idols or with God. And |
| Tx:30.54 | about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not want | whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares |
| Tx:31.26 | You never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. | Whatever form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that |
| Tx:31.33 | leaving them behind? What must go with you, you will take with you | whatever road you choose to walk along. |
| Tx:31.79 | Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish | |
| W1:I.5 | to make no exceptions in applying the ideas the exercises contain. | Whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more |
| W1:1.1 | around you, and practice applying this idea very specifically to | whatever you see: |
| W1:2.1 | one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the idea to | whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range outward. Turn |
| W1:2.1 | Then increase the range outward. Turn your head so that you include | whatever is to either side. If possible, turn around and apply the |
| W1:3.1 | way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. | Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be |
| W1:5.1 | or event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to | whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the |
| W1:5.1 | is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in | whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be fear, |
| W1:5.7 | Then examine your mind for | whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you |
| W1:7.10 | Look about you. This is equally true of | whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today |
| W1:7.10 | Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today indiscriminately to | whatever catches your eye. For example: |
| W1:9.3 | involve looking about you and applying the idea for the day to | whatever you see, remembering the need for its indiscriminate |
| W1:12.2 | What you see does not matter. You teach yourself this as you give | whatever your glance rests on equal attention and equal time. This is |
| W1:12.5 | and so on, using | whatever descriptive terms happen to occur to you. If terms which |
| W1:13.8 | resistance in one form or another to this concluding statement. | Whatever form such resistance may take, remind yourself that you are |
| W1:14.6 | illness,” but, “God did not create cancer,” or heart attacks, or | whatever may arouse fear in you. |
| W1:15.4 | idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to | whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your eyes |
| W1:25.6 | today followed by looking about you and letting your glance rest on | whatever happens to catch your eye, near or far, “important” or |
| W1:26.12 | less acceptable to you. Try, however, to treat them all alike to | whatever extent you can. |
| W1:28.7 | in which the idea for the day is stated first and then applied to | whatever you see in looking about you. Not only should the subjects |
| W1:30.5 | periods to applying today's idea with your eyes closed, using | whatever subjects come to mind and looking within rather than |
| W1:31.3 | As you survey your inner world, merely let | whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to |
| W1:36.3 | and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to | whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for example: |
| W1:37.4 | by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the idea to | whatever you see: |
| W1:38.8 | Introduce | whatever variations appeal to you, but keep the exercises focused on |
| W1:39.6 | yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in | whatever form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, |
| W1:39.6 | depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. | Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And |
| W1:39.11 | should feel free to introduce variety into your practice periods in | whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the idea itself |
| W1:42.2 | you can receive it any time and anywhere, wherever you are and in | whatever circumstances you find yourself. Your passage through time |
| W1:43.3 | You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. | Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you think, you think |
| W1:43.3 | you cannot be apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because | whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and |
| W1:43.8 | period, close your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let | whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own |
| W1:44.6 | from time to time that to reach light is to escape from darkness, | whatever you may believe to the contrary. God is the Light in which |
| W1:50.3 | eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to | whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can |
| W1:53.6 | [15] My thoughts are images which I have made. | Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me |
| W1:65.5 | idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch | whatever thoughts cross it. |
| W1:70.13 | walk on into the light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by | whatever means appeals to you. If it helps you, think of me holding |
| W1:R2.3 | intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, | whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no |
| W1:93.7 | thought—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. | Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. |
| W1:93.7 | Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. | Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. |
| W1:R3.4 | periods which you have lost because you did not want to do them for | whatever reason should be done as soon as you have changed your mind |
| W1:129.11 | hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by | whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this: |
| W1:130.12 | that hell would show to you. All you need say to any part of hell, | whatever form it takes, is simply this: |
| W1:136.6 | which is not there. It is this process which imposes threat, and not | whatever outcome may result. |
| W1:140.10 | amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in | whatever form they took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of |
| W1:154.2 | Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for | |
| W1:163.8 | form for their salvation and our own as well. God made not death. | Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we |
| W1:169.8 | that you but make a journey that is done. For oneness must be here. | Whatever time the mind has set for revelation is entirely irrelevant |
| W1:183.12 | far transcends all words and yet exceeds in depth and height | whatever words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. In our |
| W1:185.6 | in a form each mind which seeks for it in honesty can understand. | Whatever form the lesson takes is planned for him in such a way that |
| W1:199.2 | unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and power to do | whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind |
| W1:R6.10 | Who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives our thoughts | whatever meaning they may have. |
| W2:236.1 | think and what to do and feel. And yet it has been given me to serve | whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I |
| W2:248.1 | disowned the truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. | Whatever suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What |
| W2:WIB.5 | You will identify with what you think will make you safe. | Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your |
| W2:E.1 | you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can call in vain. | Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and will |
| M:16.5 | sleep. It is not wise to lie down for it. It is better to sit up, in | whatever position you prefer. Having gone through the workbook you |
| M:19.5 | do not confuse His mercy with your own insanity. Perception can make | whatever picture the mind desires to see. Remember this. In this lies |
| M:20.4 | is the peace of God retained once it is found? Returning anger, in | whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the belief |

| Tx:1.53 | all errors in this respect and thus uproots the real source of fear. | Whenever God's reassurances are experienced as threat, it is always |
| Tx:2.5 | it is inherent in what he is, but he can use it inappropriately. | Whenever projection is used inappropriately, it always implies that |
| Tx:2.20 | so they could not be shaken and would be unable to be deceived. | Whenever you are afraid, you are deceived. Your mind is not serving |
| Tx:2.35 | therefore concentrated on showing you that the means are available | whenever you ask. You can, however, save a lot of time if you do not |
| Tx:2.71 | can only shorten time at most. It must be understood, however, that | whenever a man offers a miracle to another, he is shortening the |
| Tx:2.74 | automatically as soon as you place what you think under my guidance. | Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your |
| Tx:2.76 | Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises | whenever the will to do conflicts with what you do. This situation |
| Tx:2.80 | Remember that | whenever there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. |
| Tx:2.81 | urging you to listen. Only your mind can produce fear. It does so | whenever it is conflicted in what it wills, thus producing inevitable |
| Tx:2.99 | fear is really nothing, and love is everything. This is because | whenever light enters darkness, the darkness is abolished. What man |
| Tx:4.57 | your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so | whenever you are not joyous, then know this need not be. In every |
| Tx:4.85 | must never forget. It is exactly the same debt that you owe to me. | Whenever you react egotistically towards each other, you are throwing |

| Tx:4.102 | God is praised | whenever any mind learns to be wholly helpful. This is impossible |
| Tx:4.105 | itself. All symptoms of hurt need true helpfulness, and | whenever they are met with this, the mind that so meets them heals |
| Tx:5.61 | if you identify with the ego, you must perceive yourself as guilty. | Whenever you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt and you |
| Tx:5.94 | I have already told you that | whenever you are not wholly joyous it is because you have reacted |
| Tx:6.24 | what you do not appreciate, and fear makes appreciation impossible. | Whenever you are afraid of what you are, you do not appreciate it and |
| Tx:7.12 | it, are siding with the one thing in this world which is true. | Whenever anyone can listen fairly to both sides of any issue, he will |

| Tx:3.23 | Correctly understood, the issue revolves around the question of | whether the body or the mind can see (or understand). This is not |
| Tx:3.62 | which emphasizes only the positive aspects of what is judged, | whether it be in or out of the self. However, what has been perceived |
| Tx:3.62 | he would not have judged against it. It does not matter in the end | whether you judge right or wrong. Either way, you are placing your |
| Tx:3.68 | such uncertainty in the minds of men that some have even doubted | whether they really exist at all. Despite the apparent contradiction |
| Tx:4.29 | likely to decide that you need precisely what would hurt you most. | Whether you know it now or not, however, you have willed to cooperate |
| Tx:4.55 | The ego is desperate because it opposes literally invincible odds, | whether you are asleep or awake. Consider how much vigilance you have |
| Tx:4.67 | I am not attacking your egos, I am working with your higher mind | whether you are asleep or awake, just as your ego does with your |
| Tx:7.54 | and love are equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on | whether the ego or the Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they |
| Tx:7.83 | it. This choice is up to you, but it is not up to you to decide | whether or not you will utilize projection. Every mind must project, |

| Tx:7.100 | The problem is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but | whether you want to listen to what He says. |
| Tx:8.91 | who you are. If you do not know your reality, how would you know | whether it is fearful or not? |
| Tx:9.16 | ask yourself, regardless of how you can account for the reactions, | whether they place the ego in a very sound position as the guide for |
| Tx:9.50 | in terms of attack. When it experiences threat, its only decision is | whether to attack now or to withdraw to attack later. If you accept |
| Tx:9.78 | at the logical conclusion of the ego's thought system and judge | whether its offering is really what you want, for this is what it |
| Tx:10.22 | He cannot help you without your invitation, and the ego is nothing | whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on welcoming |
| Tx:10.63 | he worships over him. For he places himself at the altar of his god, | whether it be the god he made or the God who created him. That is why |
| Tx:11.40 | you are not at home in this world. And you will search for your home | whether you know where it is or not. If you believe it is outside |
| Tx:11.67 | before that what you project is up to you, but it is not up to you | whether to project, for projection is a law of mind. Perception is |

| Tx:13.91 | have decided against your function in Heaven and consider carefully | whether you want to make decisions here. Your function here is only |
| Tx:13.92 | tell you and then do it for you. You who are tired might consider | whether this is not more restful than sleep. For you can bring your |
| Tx:15.19 | Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your choice | whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will |
| Tx:16.57 | and complete escape from all its consequences. The decision | whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but the |
| Tx:17.59 | bring the means in line. And now the only judgment left to make is | whether or not the ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does it call |

| Tx:21.5 | and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is | whether the means by which this course is learned will bring to you |
| Tx:21.77 | the choice of truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of | whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of power and attack of |
| Tx:21.77 | be protected from attack. And what is this decision but the choice | whether to see him through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to |
| Tx:22.63 | The only question to be answered to decide which must be true is | whether you are different. From the position of what you understand, |
| Tx:23.24 | for His belief. 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 |
| Tx:23.40 | any instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know | whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite |
| Tx:24.38 | is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and consider well, | whether it is your wish that you might see your brother sinless. To |
| Tx:26.13 | so He takes the thorns and nails away. He does not pause to judge | whether the hurt be large or little. He makes but one judgment—that |
| Tx:26.30 | will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but choose | whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is nothing else |
| Tx:29.28 | like the dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But | whether it succeeds or fails is not its core but just the flimsy |
| Tx:30.46 | lifted up, and anchored sure. Its perfect purity does not depend on | whether it is seen on earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly |
| Tx:31.79 | with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple choice of | whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself apart and |
| W1:7.9 | to the cup, too, based on past experiences? How else would you know | whether or not this kind of cup will break if you drop it? What do |
| W1:28.1 | you will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of | whether you will keep them in the future is not our concern here. If |
| W1:49.1 | mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, | whether you are aware of it or not. It is the other part of your mind |
| W1:52.5 | that I see nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not | whether to see the past or the present: it is whether to see or not. |
| W1:52.5 | now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present: it is | whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. |
| W1:64.5 | There is no other way. Therefore every time you choose | whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing |
| W1:64.5 | whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing | whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us remind |
| W1:66.12 | great honesty today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also | whether it was ever reasonable to expect happiness from anything the |
| W1:67.6 | that you will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, | whether you feel you have succeeded or not. |

| M:8.3 | so only the mind is responsible for seeing. It alone decides | whether what is seen is real or illusory, desirable or undesirable, |
| 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 likely to be true. |
| M:22.2 | The progress of the teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on | whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness or for a time |

| Tx:2.54 | All physical illness represents a belief in magic. The | whole distortion which created magic rests on the belief that there |
| Tx:2.59 | the highest level of communication of which he is capable now. The | whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of communication, not |
| Tx:2.71 | the suffering of both. This introduces a correction into the | whole record which corrects retroactively as well as progressively. |
| Tx:2.82 | arises from behavior-will conflict could not have arisen. Then the | whole process is nothing more than a series of pragmatic steps in the |
| Tx:2.96 | your mind, it is unmindful. It is time, however, to consider the | whole world of the unconscious or “unwatched” mind. This may well |
| Tx:2.96 | it is the source of fear. The unwatched mind is responsible for the | whole content of the unconscious which lies above the miracle level. |
| Tx:2.101 | are His Sons, then every Soul must be an integral part of the | whole Sonship. You do not find the concept that the whole is greater |
| Tx:2.101 | part of the whole Sonship. You do not find the concept that the | whole is greater than its parts difficult to understand. You should |
| Tx:3.13 | the truth. It is unwise to accept any concept if you have to turn a | whole frame of reference around in order to justify it. This |
| Tx:3.31 | involves different interpretations, and this means that it is not | whole. The miracle is a way of perceiving, not of knowing. It is the |
| Tx:3.45 | itself from the Soul because it is from the Soul that it derives its | whole power to create. Even in miscreation will is affirming its |
| Tx:3.74 | This makes absolutely no sense. The | whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he himself realizes |
| Tx:4.31 | egos because it cannot establish the reality of itself. In fact, its | whole perception of other egos as real is only an attempt to convince |
| Tx:4.41 | Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the | whole message of the Atonement, a message which in its totality |
| Tx:4.81 | while accurate perception is a stepping-stone towards it. The | whole value of right perception lies in the inevitable judgment which |
| Tx:4.83 | and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not perceive the | whole situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego |
| Tx:4.86 | be used here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the | whole Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as |
| Tx:4.89 | accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of the | whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my part in it as a |
| Tx:4.95 | Everything the ego perceives is a separate | whole, without the relationships that imply being. The ego is thus |
| Tx:4.101 | but He cannot share His joy with you until you know it with your | whole mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is communication |
| Tx:5.2 | to be wholly fearful and remain alive, then the only possible | whole state is that of love. There is no difference between love and |
| Tx:5.2 | is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the only possible | whole state is the wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is |
| Tx:5.6 | If you can accept the concept that the world is one of ideas, the | whole belief in the false association which the ego makes between |
| Tx:5.18 | separation, the means by which the Atonement could repair until the | whole mind returned to creating. |
| Tx:5.20 | of the integrity of the mind. When the Atonement is complete and the | whole Sonship is healed, there will be no call to return, but what |
| Tx:5.25 | “What profiteth it a man if he gain the | whole world and lose his own Soul?” That means that if he listens to |
| Tx:5.28 | than to restore it to the perfect integration that can make it | whole? |
| Tx:5.29 | stronger. As we share this goal we increase its power to attract the | whole Sonship and to bring it back into the Oneness in which it was |
| Tx:5.60 | is unassailable. It is invulnerable to disruption because it is | whole. Guilt is always disruptive. Anything that engenders fear is |
| Tx:5.78 | have given to the ego will merely return to the Kingdom, where your | whole mind belongs. The ego is a form of arrest, but arrest is merely |
| Tx:5.91 | have not moved mountains by their faith, because their faith was not | whole. Some of them have healed the sick at times, but they have not |
| Tx:5.91 | God created is equally worthy of being healed because God created it | whole. You are merely asked to return to God the mind as He created |
| Tx:6.20 | glaring examples of upside-down thinking in the New Testament, whose | whole gospel is only the message of love. These are not like the |
| Tx:6.21 | thou the Son of Man with a kiss?” unless I believed in betrayal. The | whole message of the crucifixion was simply that I did not. The |
| Tx:6.25 | of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by a | whole mind which recognizes the wholeness of God's creation and by |
| Tx:6.34 | only for this because he speaks for God. He tells you to return your | whole mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never |
| Tx:6.37 | He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He offers the | whole Kingdom always. This is the one message God gave to Him and for |
| Tx:6.45 | you. Herein lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its | whole thought system. |
| Tx:6.57 | you that you had made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as | whole? What God does know is that His communication channels are not |
| Tx:6.82 | you must be critical, since your salvation is critical to the | whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and |
| Tx:6.89 | created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is | whole, you are teaching peace because you believe in it. The final |
| Tx:6.92 | to is measurable. On the contrary, unless it transfers to the | whole Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was created by the |
| Tx:6.92 | Immeasurable, the learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the | whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its |
| Tx:7.6 | you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom of God is | whole. We have said that the last step in the reawakening of |
| Tx:7.9 | a brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not | whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this way, you are |
| Tx:7.15 | form of what he translates, never changes the meaning. In fact, his | whole purpose is to change the form so that the original meaning is |
| Tx:7.33 | not come directly from God, Who knows His creations as perfectly | whole. Yet healing is [nevertheless] of God, because it proceeds from |
| Tx:7.35 | He can use them only for healing, because He knows you only as | whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of |
| Tx:7.44 | only consistence is conflict-free, and only the conflict-free are | whole. By accepting exceptions and acknowledging that he can |
| Tx:7.46 | yours. Your meaning cannot be out of accord with His because your | whole meaning, and your only meaning, comes from His and is like His. |
| Tx:7.50 | by your creations, which can only be created as you were. The | whole glory and perfect joy that is the Kingdom lies in you to give. |
| Tx:7.53 | This light will shine back upon you and on the | whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will |
| Tx:7.73 | lasts. And perception will last until the Sonship knows itself as | whole. |
| Tx:7.87 | that it can, a fallacy which the ego always makes, underlies its | whole use of projection. It does not understand what mind is and |
| Tx:7.88 | their effects will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a | whole. |
| Tx:7.90 | The | whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is |
| Tx:7.90 | idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the | whole Kingdom as literally part of you. This identification is as |
| Tx:7.92 | is included in its own, as it is included in God. The power of the | whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the Soul's own |
| Tx:7.92 | therefore the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations equally | whole and equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a |
| Tx:7.93 | can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego's | whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only |
| Tx:7.94 | Exclude any part of the Kingdom from yourself, and you are not | whole. A split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the |
| Tx:7.95 | creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a | whole. |
| Tx:7.96 | radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect joy, and only the | whole can be born of its wholeness. |
| Tx:7.97 | including any part of totality in the lesson, you have included the | whole. You have said that when you write of the Kingdom and your |
| Tx:7.97 | in a sense, but no more true than your failure to acknowledge the | whole result of the ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of |
| Tx:7.98 | you could possibly want any part of it is because you do not see the | whole of it. You [therefore] are willing to look at the ego's |
| Tx:7.101 | be confused about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the | whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving |
| Tx:7.105 | with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The | whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the |
| Tx:7.112 | brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the | whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the |
| Tx:7.112 | whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the | whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by |
| Tx:8.31 | to unite must be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or not | whole. Your will is the means by which you determine your own |
| Tx:8.37 | Yet to heal is still to make | whole. Therefore, to heal is to unite with those who are like you, |
| Tx:8.49 | because apart from each other we cannot function at all. The | whole power of God's Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us |
| Tx:8.61 | In the world, not even the body is perceived as | whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into many functions which |
| Tx:8.62 | solely for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by making | whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the belief that |
| Tx:8.62 | it heals by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is | whole, and the belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a |
| Tx:8.65 | the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes | whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be an |
| Tx:8.66 | this limit on yourself. Are you willing to accept this, when your | whole purpose for learning should be to escape from limitations? To |
| Tx:8.70 | they arise from it, but the relationship is not reciprocal. The | whole does define the part, but the part does not define the whole. |
| Tx:8.70 | The whole does define the part, but the part does not define the | whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of perception. The |
| Tx:8.70 | difference between knowledge and perception. In perception the | whole is built up of parts, which can separate and reassemble in |
| Tx:8.70 | in which change is possible. There is no difference between the | whole and the part where change is impossible. |
| Tx:8.81 | because it is so powerful that your little part will bring the | whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the whole be |
| Tx:8.81 | bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the | whole be yours. |
| Tx:8.87 | do the works of love, because we share this oneness. Our minds are | whole because they are one. If you are sick you are withdrawing from |
| Tx:8.94 | The only source of fear in this | whole process can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only |
| Tx:9.16 | question, ridiculous as it seems, is really the crucial issue in the | whole separation fantasy. Anyone who elects a totally insane guide |
| Tx:9.34 | Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is | whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your |
| Tx:9.43 | is meaningless within the ego's thought system, because it opens the | whole thought system to question. |
| Tx:9.44 | littleness, therefore, is to deny all knowledge and keep the ego's | whole thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a thought |
| Tx:9.80 | you. I know your value for you, and it is this value that makes you | whole. A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of |
| Tx:9.80 | your value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole. A | whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I |
| Tx:9.80 | only one message, and it is true. Your faith in it will make you | whole when you have faith in me. |
| Tx:9.86 | illusions because truth and illusions are irreconcilable. Truth is | whole and cannot be known by part of a mind. |
| Tx:10.2 | system. And either the ego, which you made, is your father, or its | whole thought system will not stand. |
| Tx:10.14 | God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your | whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and |
| Tx:10.14 | believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your | whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because |
| Tx:10.19 | Healing is a sign that he wants to make | whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the |
| Tx:10.19 | you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make | whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What |
| Tx:10.19 | to make whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours | whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of |
| Tx:10.30 | you cannot enter. For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are | whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the |
| Tx:10.30 | know the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the | whole Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then |
| Tx:10.38 | Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the | whole Sonship rests. |
| Tx:10.41 | meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the | whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the |
| Tx:10.45 | Yours is the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your | whole creative function lies in your complete dependence on God, |
| Tx:10.64 | compel your allegiance gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its | whole compelling power lies in the fact that it represents what you |
| Tx:10.68 | Sons are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The | whole power of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory |
| Tx:11.2 | and never without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The | whole process represents a clear-cut attempt to demonstrate your own |
| Tx:11.16 | Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made | whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for |
| Tx:11.16 | there is but one remedy. You will be made whole as you make | whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to |
| Tx:11.41 | sold. There can be no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for God is | whole, and all His extensions are like Him. |
| Tx:11.51 | and teachers. But it is not so yet and will not be so until the | whole learning situation as you have set it up is reversed. |
| Tx:11.53 | The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the | whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you |
| Tx:11.61 | gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be made | whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it for |
| Tx:12.13 | your joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the | whole world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, |
| Tx:12.14 | You have built your | whole insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in |
| Tx:12.34 | Therefore he does not see that he made them and that they are not | whole. For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one |
| Tx:12.52 | Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is | whole. Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am |
| Tx:13.2 | this: There is nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is | whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of |
| Tx:13.5 | to the 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 |
| Tx:13.5 | perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the | whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the |
| Tx:13.12 | Release from guilt is the ego's | whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by |
| Tx:13.65 | want either alone, for without both, you do not see yourselves as | whole and therefore happy. Yet you are whole only in your |
| Tx:13.65 | you do not see yourselves as whole and therefore happy. Yet you are | whole only in your guiltlessness, and only in your guiltlessness can |
| Tx:13.73 | separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the | whole Sonship, directed in and out and influencing a constellation |
| Tx:15.12 | give Him this than for Him to use this tiny instant to offer you the | whole of Heaven. In exchange for this instant, He stands ready to |
| Tx:15.15 | to the Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's | whole power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands what |
| Tx:15.16 | your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the | whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to |
| Tx:15.35 | it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the | whole release from littleness. |
| Tx:15.64 | in the holy instant because the past is gone and with it goes the | whole basis for exclusion. Without its source, exclusion vanishes. |
| Tx:15.101 | Fear not to recognize the | whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety |
| Tx:15.102 | of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the | whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And |
| Tx:16.9 | What you give through Him is for the | whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He |
| Tx:16.10 | itself? One attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the | whole. If miracles are at all, their attributes would have to be |
| Tx:16.11 | then to be concerned about the truth of just a little part of the | whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the |
| Tx:16.11 | whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the | whole to what you think you might be better able to understand. For |
| Tx:16.11 | of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part or | whole. Yet you have done them. Therefore, your understanding cannot |
| Tx:16.12 | about it, you cannot understand it. The recognition of the part as | whole and of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is |
| Tx:16.12 | understand it. The recognition of the part as whole and of the | whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is the way God |
| Tx:16.37 | love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you | whole in truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is |
| Tx:16.40 | and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be | whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your |
| Tx:16.40 | remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him | whole. In your completion lies the memory of His wholeness and His |
| Tx:16.52 | the sadness and the loneliness. For these are only attributes of the | whole religion of the separation and of the total context in which it |
| Tx:16.57 | meaning. Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its | whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning experience |
| Tx:16.61 | body would disappear because its value would be lost. And so your | whole investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the |
| Tx:16.62 | special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even one | whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees only |
| Tx:17.3 | If you but realized what this must do to your appreciation of the | whole! What you reserve unto yourself, you take away from Him Who |
| Tx:17.30 | The | whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the separation |
| Tx:17.31 | is not insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the | whole. The special relationship, which is its chief defense, must |
| Tx:17.32 | one is not different. Retain this one, and you have retained the | whole. |
| Tx:17.35 | aspects of this thought system, for these aspects enclose the | whole, complete in every aspect. Death lies in this glittering gift. |
| Tx:17.36 | destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to keep truth | whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of Christ, and |
| Tx:17.37 | the 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 |
| Tx:17.37 | For as the whole thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the | whole of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set |
| Tx:17.41 | fades gently, and God rises to your remembrance, offering you the | whole of creation in exchange for your little picture, wholly without |
| Tx:17.42 | What He has given is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the | whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our |
| Tx:17.42 | given is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the whole. The | whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our relationship |
| Tx:17.47 | in purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the | whole relationship is for. As this change develops and is finally |
| Tx:17.62 | is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation as a | whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it |
| Tx:17.62 | through fragmentation and does not perceive the situation as a | whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off segments of the situation and |
| Tx:17.71 | calls to everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your | whole relationship in every aspect and complete in every part. You |
| Tx:17.71 | it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your | whole relationship and derives its meaning from it. |
| Tx:17.74 | of the meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a | whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and |
| Tx:18.4 | infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your | whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every |
| Tx:18.11 | the Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, | whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has entered quietly, |
| Tx:18.11 | shined upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God and His | whole creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is |
| Tx:18.12 | would you not prefer to heal what has been broken and join in making | whole what has been ravaged by separation and disease? |
| Tx:18.30 | darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made | whole in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all |
| Tx:18.30 | to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make | whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience |
| Tx:18.40 | is possible and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The | whole belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. |
| Tx:18.59 | it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both become | whole as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens is |
| Tx:18.65 | and nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction now. Its | whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in the |
| Tx:18.72 | small, around a very little segment of Heaven splintered from the | whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where God can |
| Tx:18.73 | mind is such a tiny part of it that, could you but appreciate the | whole, you would see instantly that it is like the smallest sunbeam |
| Tx:18.74 | is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its being. Its | whole existence still remains in them. Without the sun the sunbeam |
| Tx:18.75 | dependent on their one Creator for everything and needing the | whole to give them any meaning, for by themselves they do mean |
| Tx:18.76 | not missing; it could not exist if it were separate, nor would the | whole be whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an |
| Tx:18.76 | it could not exist if it were separate, nor would the whole be | whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an idea of |
| Tx:18.76 | apart from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the | whole, being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no |
| Tx:18.77 | Arched high above it and surrounding it with love is the glorious | whole, which offers all its happiness and deep content to every part. |
| Tx:18.81 | hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. No part of love calls on the | whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His Fatherhood. |
| Tx:18.84 | needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of God, | whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to |
| Tx:18.88 | of fear lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the | whole foundation on which the world is based. Here are all the |
| Tx:18.91 | Yet in this cloud bank, it is easy to see a | whole world rising. A solid mountain range, a lake, a city, all rise |
| Tx:19.1 | for only thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a | whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is |
| Tx:19.2 | a united purpose which makes this purpose real because you make it | whole. And this is healing. The body is healed because you came |
| Tx:19.5 | always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and make | whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and separate; faith would unite |
| Tx:19.19 | such is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the | whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is death, |
| Tx:19.24 | a mistake, entirely correctable, and so easily escaped from that its | whole correction is like walking through a mist into the sun? For |
| Tx:19.40 | can it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread across the | whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone |
| Tx:19.42 | by a little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the | whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no opposition, for there |
| Tx:19.68 | Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the | whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead, |
| Tx:19.72 | guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt maintains the | whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of |
| Tx:20.1 | forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon himself as healed and | whole. |
| Tx:20.3 | mine. A week is short, and yet this holy week is the symbol of the | whole journey the Son of God has undertaken. He started with the sign |
| Tx:20.8 | For he who offers thorns to anyone is against me still, and who is | whole without him? Be you his friend for me that I may be forgiven |
| Tx:20.8 | me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as | whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see |
| Tx:20.33 | part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the | whole completed without your part. The ark of peace is entered two by |
| Tx:20.34 | your forgiveness of each other serves but you two alone. For the | whole new world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to |
| Tx:20.67 | would not be necessary had judgment not been made. Desire now its | whole undoing, and it is done for you. |
| Tx:21.8 | circumstances in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the | whole song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, |
| Tx:21.13 | this course. It is the same small willingness you need to have your | whole relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to |
| Tx:21.20 | Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the | whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is |
| Tx:21.28 | together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you deny your | whole reality. But grant that everything which seems to stand between |
| Tx:21.43 | the ego never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's | whole defensive system too seriously for it to bother to pretend it |

| Tx:21.65 | serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make him | whole. The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that |
| Tx:21.65 | you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his | whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to |
| Tx:22.3 | his completion, he would extend it by joining with another, | whole as himself. He sees no difference between these selves, for |
| Tx:22.10 | is your language. You do not understand it yet, only because your | whole communication is like a baby's. The sounds a baby makes and |
| Tx:22.24 | Let us look closer at the | whole illusion that what you made has power to enslave its maker. |
| Tx:22.30 | The ego's | whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. |

| Tx:22.32 | a distorted fragment of the whole, without the meaning that the | whole would give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be |
| Tx:22.38 | way you went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The | whole purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will |
| Tx:22.46 | you and its return. Yet how can peace be so fragmented? It is still | whole, and nothing has been taken from it. |
| Tx:22.62 | would it be possible to attack a part of the creation without the | whole, the Son without the Father, and to attack another without |
| Tx:23.39 | step is smaller than another nor that return from one is easier. The | whole descent from Heaven lies in each one. And where your thinking |
| Tx:24.19 | to have it. Let him forgive you all your specialness and make you | whole in mind and one with him. He waits for your forgiveness only |
| Tx:24.41 | out of nothing. For the parts do not belong together, and the | whole contributes nothing to the parts to give them meaning. |
| Tx:24.50 | There could be no universe and no reality. For what God wills is | whole and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is |
| Tx:24.53 | Look on your brother and behold in him the | whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this world. See in his |

| Tx:25.4 | of His holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His Father, | whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting Love. |
| Tx:25.37 | The state of sinlessness is merely this: the | whole desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive |
| Tx:25.54 | The Holy Spirit has the power to change the | whole foundation of the world you see to something else—a basis not |
| Tx:25.60 | The | whole belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God |

| Tx:26.27 | here is what was lost restored to them and all their radiance made | whole again. |
| Tx:26.61 | any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the | whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is |
| Tx:26.89 | innocent. And in this game do you perceive one purpose for your | whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the purpose given |
| Tx:27.1 | sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the | whole of God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his |
| Tx:28.26 | 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 body can be |
| Tx:28.44 | it is a picture in itself. To each he offers his identity, which the | whole picture represents, instead of just a little broken bit which |
| Tx:28.45 | Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the | whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is just the |
| Tx:29.31 | There is a place in you where this | whole world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of |
| Tx:29.33 | It tell you what his function is. He was created that you might be | whole, for only the complete can be a part of God's completion, Which |
| Tx:29.46 | renounced. Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not | whole within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to |
| Tx:29.47 | a form of death cannot be life, and what is sacrificed cannot be | whole. |
| Tx:30.40 | so. For sin is the idea you are alone and separated off from what is | whole. And thus it would be necessary for the search for wholeness to |
| Tx:30.42 | all idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more than | whole is meaningless. If there were change in him, if he could be |

| Tx:30.42 | For can he give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot make | whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your will is |
| Tx:30.42 | is granted. Not in any form that would content you not, but in the | whole completely lovely Thought God holds of you. |
| Tx:30.76 | Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not | whole and will remain afraid to look within and find escape from |
| Tx:30.77 | him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make | whole. And what is whole can have no missing parts that have been |

| Tx:30.93 | some respects. For this but means you would not have him healed and | whole. The Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would look |
| Tx:31.8 | you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of God's creation to the | whole is heard throughout the world this second lesson brings. |
| Tx:31.9 | no living thing which does not share the universal will that it be | whole and that you do not leave its call unheard. Without your answer |
| W1:16.2 | than that of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a | whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have |
| W1:29.1 | used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's idea is the | whole basis for vision. |
| W1:37.2 | blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see themselves as | whole make no demands. |
| W1:39.3 | of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the | whole world stands to benefit. |
| W1:41.2 | that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the | whole world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss |
| W1:71.9 | that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the | whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will |
| W1:95.17 | You are One Self, complete and healed and | whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let |
| W1:97.9 | am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and | whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world. |
| W1:113.2 | and perfect peace are mine because I am One Self, completely | whole, at one with all creation and with God. |

| W1:128.7 | value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before. Your | whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little every time |
| W1:136.2 | parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep the truth from being | whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole within itself. |
| W1:136.2 | the truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were | whole within itself. |
| W1:136.6 | this, and this they seem to do. Every defense takes fragments of the | whole, assembles them without regard to all their true relationships, |
| W1:136.6 | to all their true relationships, and thus constructs illusions of a | whole which is not there. It is this process which imposes threat, |
| W1:136.7 | When parts are wrested from the | whole and seen as separate and as wholes within themselves, they |
| W1:136.7 | within themselves, they become symbols standing for attack upon the | whole, successful in effect, and never to be seen as whole again. And |
| W1:136.7 | attack upon the whole, successful in effect, and never to be seen as | whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your |
| W1:152.1 | you choose. Here is your world, complete in all details. Here is its | whole reality for you. And it is only here salvation is. |

| M:23.3 | It means that in remembering Jesus, you are remembering God. The | whole relationship of the Son to the Father lies in him. His part in |

| Tx:1.61 | 42. | Wholeness is the perceptual content of miracles. It thus corrects or |
| Tx:2.46 | of the inner altar, where it undoes the separation and restores the | wholeness of the mind. Before the separation, the mind was |
| Tx:2.102 | the parts of the Sonship have returned. Only then can the meaning of | wholeness, in the true sense, be fully understood. |
| Tx:3.24 | the innocent mind has everything and strives only to protect its | wholeness. This is why it cannot misproject. It can only honor man, |
| Tx:5.52 | still irresistibly drawn to every mind created by God, because God's | Wholeness is the wholeness of His Son. |

| Tx:6.16 | of every Son of God is necessary to enable the Sonship to know its | wholeness. Only this is knowledge. |
| Tx:6.25 | a rejection of part of it, and this is the belief in separation. The | wholeness of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by |
| Tx:6.25 | cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind which recognizes the | wholeness of God's creation and by this recognition knows its |
| Tx:6.32 | partially nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this | wholeness now. You can no more pray for yourselves alone than you can |
| Tx:6.32 | you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know of its | wholeness. |
| Tx:6.92 | whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its | wholeness and have learned that it is one. Now you must be vigilant |
| Tx:6.92 | because, if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its | wholeness and will be unable to teach it. |
| Tx:6.93 | The | wholeness of the Kingdom does not depend on your perception, but your |
| Tx:6.93 | does not depend on your perception, but your awareness of its | wholeness does. It is only your awareness which needs protection |
| Tx:7.10 | with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and restores its | wholeness in your minds. This parallels creation, because it unifies |
| Tx:7.35 | healing, because He knows you only as whole. By healing you learn of | wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to remember God. |
| Tx:7.35 | only as whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of | wholeness you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the |
| Tx:7.65 | not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the creation is your | wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless power. This limitless |
| Tx:7.90 | This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond belief. Your | wholeness has no limits, because being is in infinity. |
| Tx:7.94 | split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the miracle of its | wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This reawakens the wholeness |
| Tx:7.94 | of its wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This reawakens the | wholeness in it and restores it to the Kingdom because of its |
| Tx:7.94 | in it and restores it to the Kingdom because of its acceptance of | wholeness. The full appreciation of its self-fullness makes |
| Tx:7.96 | it creates in perfect joy, and only the whole can be born of its | wholeness. |
| Tx:7.97 | never lost your identity and the extensions which maintain it in | wholeness and peace. Miracles are an expression of this confidence. |
| Tx:8.42 | We are the joint will of the Sonship, whose | wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by setting out |
| Tx:8.68 | there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited power and | wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your |
| Tx:8.68 | and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. The power of | wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this world, and |
| Tx:8.82 | Wholeness heals because it is of the mind. All forms of sickness, | |
| Tx:8.89 | Your healing, then, is part of His health since it is part of His | Wholeness. He cannot lose this, but you can not know it. Yet it is |
| Tx:9.34 | you recognize part of creation. Each part you remember adds to your | wholeness, because each part is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but |
| Tx:9.34 | you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is whole. | Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your wholeness |
| Tx:9.34 | is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your | wholeness until you see it everywhere. You can know yourself only as |
| Tx:9.77 | God and thus lose sight of yourself? Or would you remind him of his | wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To believe a Son of God |
| Tx:10.19 | opens his own ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose message is | wholeness. He will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would |
| Tx:10.30 | you have accepted them, you cannot enter. For you cannot understand | Wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the Son can be |
| Tx:10.30 | whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the | Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole |
| Tx:10.33 | your mind return. That is the law of God for the protection of the | wholeness of His Son. |

| Tx:11.42 | The Atonement was not the price of our | wholeness, but it was the price of your awareness of your wholeness. |
| Tx:11.42 | of our wholeness, but it was the price of your awareness of your | wholeness. For what you chose to “sell” had to be kept for you since |

| Tx:15.109 | in you who welcome Him is returned to Him. And we but celebrate His | Wholeness as we welcome Him into ourselves. Those who receive the |
| Tx:16.39 | attainable removes your own sense of completion and thus denies the | wholeness of your Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, |

| Tx:18.4 | it was the substitution of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for | wholeness. It has become so splintered and subdivided and divided |
| Tx:19.1 | peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which the | wholeness of the dedication can be safely assumed. Yet we also said |
| Tx:19.6 | mind is limited to the body and divided into little parts of seeming | wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the body, but it |
| Tx:19.29 | it seems as if the line must have been broken. Yet at the line, its | wholeness is apparent. Everything seen from the spiral is |
| Tx:26.4 | be denied if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the | wholeness of God's Son is seen within a world of separate bodies, |
| Tx:28.60 | be false. What will can come between what must be one, and in Whose | wholeness there can be no gap? |
| Tx:28.61 | is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your | wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the Call to healing, |
| Tx:29.1 | feared. There is no way in which a gap could be conceived of in the | wholeness that is His. The compromise the least and littlest gap |
| Tx:30.40 | Behind the search for every idol lies the yearning for completion. | Wholeness has no form because it is unlimited. To seek a special |

| W1:127.3 | rules where love is not. Love is a law without an opposite. Its | wholeness is the power holding everything as one, the link between |
| W1:132.14 | the Son and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His | wholeness. Can a world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be |
| W1:151.14 | and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the | wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son as proof of His eternal |
| W1:152.9 | in acknowledging its mightiness, its changelessness, and its eternal | wholeness—all-encompassing, God's perfect gift to His beloved Son. |

| W1:195.6 | rejoice that no exceptions ever can be made which would reduce our | wholeness nor impair or change our function to complete the One Who |
| W2:323.2 | and of images we worshiped falsely—truth returns to us in | wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now |
| M:19.3 | and justified by this careful selectivity in which all thought of | wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness has no place in such a scheme, |
| M:19.4 | Salvation is God's justice. It restores to your awareness the | wholeness of the fragments you perceive as broken off and separate. |

| Tx:5.2 | Those who attempt to heal without being | wholly joyous themselves call forth different kinds of responses at |
| Tx:5.2 | happy. If fear and love cannot coexist and if it is impossible to be | wholly fearful and remain alive, then the only possible whole state |
| Tx:5.2 | love and joy. Therefore, the only possible whole state is the | wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is therefore the same as to |
| Tx:5.5 | revelation is an experience of pure joy. If you do not choose to be | wholly joyous, your mind cannot have what it does not choose to be. |

| Tx:8.36 | The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, being | wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be exempt |
| Tx:8.52 | where your treasure is, as His does. You who are beloved of God are | wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the holy will of all those |
| Tx:8.77 | does not 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 |

| Tx:9.67 | You will remember everything the instant you desire it | wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, you will have willed |
| Tx:9.67 | everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire | wholly is to create, you will have willed away the separation, |
| Tx:9.101 | the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your Father created you | wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and wholly without suffering |
| Tx:9.101 | of yourself as you are. Your Father created you wholly without sin, | wholly without pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you |
| Tx:9.101 | Your Father created you wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and | wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny Him, you bring sin, |
| Tx:9.104 | If God knows His Children as | wholly sinless, it is blasphemous to perceive them as guilty. If God |
| Tx:9.104 | blasphemous to perceive them as guilty. If God knows His Children as | wholly without pain, it is blasphemous to perceive suffering |
| Tx:9.104 | to perceive suffering anywhere. If God knows His Children to be | wholly joyous, it is blasphemous to feel depressed. All of these |
| Tx:10.21 | and fulfill it, for only in this can your will and your Father's be | wholly joined. To have Him is to be like Him, and He has given |
| Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But come | wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will believe that the |
| Tx:10.37 | waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son as | wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the |
| Tx:10.76 | the meaning of anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is | wholly true. The recognition of this is your firm beginning. You are |
| Tx:11.37 | ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not | wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your |
| Tx:11.99 | You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And being | wholly pure, you are invulnerable. |
| Tx:12.52 | timeless union with them is your continuity, unbroken because it is | wholly shared. God's guiltless Son is only light. There is no |

| Tx:13.35 | ravaged and torn in endless battles which he himself perceives as | wholly without meaning. |
| Tx:13.37 | that you value here. For nothing that you value here you value | wholly, and so you do not value it at all. Value is where God placed |
| Tx:13.37 | God esteems cannot be judged, for it has been established. It is | wholly of value. It can merely be appreciated or not. To value it |
| Tx:13.38 | in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is | wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable |
| Tx:13.38 | Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of being | wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing while you |
| Tx:13.42 | share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be | wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours, because |
| Tx:13.50 | and all this has been denied, your thought system is closed off and | wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane world, and do not |
| Tx:13.51 | Seeing is always outward. Were your thoughts | wholly of you, the thought system which you made would be forever |

| Tx:13.76 | of the perfect purity of everything that He created, for it is | wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being of Him, it must be |
| Tx:14.7 | Blessed Son of a | wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom |
| Tx:14.19 | so you do not realize that only one means anything, and the other is | wholly without sense of any kind. |
| Tx:14.32 | be released from littleness to glory. To what He promised God He is | wholly faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was given |
| Tx:14.33 | that is not equally worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts | wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? |
| Tx:14.63 | 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 who meet or even |
| Tx:15.10 | it is here that you are completely absolved, completely free, and | wholly without condemnation. From this holy instant wherein holiness |
| Tx:15.17 | remove all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because it is | wholly without fear. It will come, being the lesson God gives you |
| Tx:15.20 | You will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have | wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no |
| Tx:15.20 | here it is, all in this instant, complete, accomplished, and given | wholly. |
| Tx:15.33 | If you are | wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to |
| Tx:15.42 | honestly, “Would I want to have perfect communication, and am I | wholly willing to let everything that interferes with it go forever?” |
| Tx:15.57 | our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is | wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of his worth, we cannot |
| Tx:15.59 | you are an idea. And like Him, you can give yourself completely, | wholly without loss, and only with gain. |
| Tx:15.65 | given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being | wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is not the |
| Tx:15.86 | and seeing it exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as | wholly without gratification what you think you want. The body is the |
| Tx:15.91 | only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him | wholly in an instant. [For you would place no limits on your union |
| Tx:16.12 | is the way God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. | Wholly natural perception would show you instantly that order of |
| Tx:16.16 | God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again will you be | wholly willing not to listen. |
| Tx:16.19 | Reality is safe and sure and | wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than |
| Tx:16.23 | regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to teach successfully | wholly without conviction, and it is equally impossible that |
| Tx:16.38 | Across the bridge is your completion, for you will be | wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly like |
| Tx:16.38 | will be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be | wholly like unto Him, completing Him by your completion. Fear not to |
| Tx:16.38 | and where everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of God, be | wholly willing to abandon all illusions. In any relationship in which |
| Tx:16.38 | to abandon all illusions. In any relationship in which you are | wholly willing to accept completion, and only this, there is God |
| Tx:16.39 | you and will lead you straight to Him, where your completion rests | wholly compatible with His. Every illusion which you accept into your |
| Tx:16.40 | Would He not answer you whose completion is His? He loves you | wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is wholly without |
| Tx:16.40 | He loves you wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is | wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God |
| Tx:16.40 | as you must love. For love is wholly without illusion and therefore | wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has |
| Tx:16.65 | of love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer | wholly insane, and you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for |
| Tx:16.67 | yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the | wholly insane could look on death and suffering, sickness and despair |
| Tx:17.9 | of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given, complete and | wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete |
| Tx:17.38 | It must be the pictures only that you compare, or the comparison is | wholly without meaning. Remember that it is the picture that is the |
| Tx:17.41 | you the whole of creation in exchange for your little picture, | wholly without value and entirely deprived of meaning. |
| Tx:17.49 | heard. Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not now | wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit |
| Tx:17.68 | but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant of illusion and | wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it will carry you straight |
| Tx:17.73 | of Him Who walks with you in every situation. You are no longer | wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a |
| Tx:18.48 | possible that I can have it without him, or he without me. Yet it is | wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant |
| Tx:18.90 | to be a solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is | wholly an illusion. It gives way softly to the mountain tops which |
| Tx:19.1 | We said before that when a situation has been dedicated | wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion |
| Tx:19.1 | said that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is | wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by |
| Tx:19.5 | all obstacles that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is | wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial |
| Tx:19.5 | between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith | wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the |
| Tx:19.12 | Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God through Him, and | wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And therefore offered you. |
| Tx:19.21 | sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is | wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite unapproachable |
| Tx:19.21 | the most “holy” concept in the ego's system—lovely and powerful, | wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its |
| Tx:19.42 | in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you | wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that |
| Tx:19.49 | only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being | wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to |
| Tx:19.51 | The fierce attraction which guilt holds for fear is | wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would look |
| Tx:19.69 | for the eternal is forever kind, infinite in its patience, and | wholly loving. It will accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it |
| Tx:19.69 | infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It will accept you | wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is |
| Tx:19.87 | What danger can assail the | wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What fear can enter |
| Tx:20.45 | would rest upon contingency, but there is nothing else. And this is | wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy |
| Tx:20.45 | into fragments, and full of fear. The one created by his Father is | wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is |
| Tx:20.45 | is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is | wholly self-destructive and self-limiting. |
| Tx:20.73 | in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are | wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see if you accepted |
| Tx:21.23 | to look within and see what must be there plainly in sight and | wholly independent of inference and judgment. Undoing is not your |
| Tx:21.44 | partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born within you. Not | wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of your insanity |
| Tx:21.82 | your mind again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are | wholly answered. |
| Tx:21.89 | yet it is the final one that really asks if you are willing to be | wholly sane. |
| Tx:22.6 | such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is | wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the world. If this is |
| Tx:22.22 | This course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is | wholly true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And |
| Tx:22.22 | will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or | wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you will |
| Tx:22.33 | of everything, the wall that stands between you and the truth, is | wholly true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness as if it |
| Tx:22.47 | to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and | wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is strength and |
| Tx:23.47 | is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is | wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot |
| Tx:23.54 | present, and their future always the same, eternally complete, and | wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever |
| Tx:24.26 | and makes it sin. How can he then give his forgiveness | wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he |
| Tx:24.26 | would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it | wholly the instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt |
| Tx:25.21 | from him nor from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for the | wholly pure have never sinned. Give then what He has given you that |
| Tx:25.35 | And in the sunlight you will stand in quiet, in innocence, and | wholly unafraid. And from you will the rest you found extend, so that |
| Tx:25.38 | feared instead of loved. Who would attack whatever he perceives as | wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to |
| Tx:25.44 | seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is | wholly clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what eyes are for. And |
| Tx:25.55 | insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as | wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But |
| Tx:25.63 | learn it is your will to be without it. You need not give it to Him | wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no need of Him. But |
| Tx:25.66 | not of this. But justice does He know and knows it well. For He is | wholly fair to everyone. |
| Tx:25.70 | who ask for punishment but have a Judge Who knows that they are | wholly innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free |
| Tx:25.83 | deserves to suffer more and others less? And is this justice to the | wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a special gift to |
| Tx:26.19 | just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and | wholly simple. Here is sin denied and everything that is received |
| Tx:26.56 | creation rise within you to replace the world you see with Heaven, | wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness |
| Tx:27.1 | attempt that would combine attack and innocence. Who can combine the | wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you |
| Tx:27.20 | unhealed. Yet you can show him that his suffering is purposeless and | wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he will consent no |
| Tx:27.31 | hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The picture has been | wholly canceled out because it symbolized a contradiction which |
| Tx:27.31 | be but nothingness? The picture of your brother that you see is | wholly absent and has never been. Let then the empty space it |
| Tx:27.33 | form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as | wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to |
| Tx:27.35 | A Power | wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. |
| Tx:28.11 | is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be | wholly unremembered afterwards. |
| Tx:28.52 | or time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them | wholly indivisible. |
| Tx:28.61 | There is no middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You accept it | wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated must be joined. And what |
| Tx:29.13 | asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you did not | wholly welcome Him. And yet His gifts came with Him. He has laid them |
| Tx:30.32 | they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they asked for will be | wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that makes |
| Tx:31.54 | your brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is | wholly passive and at least makes way for active choice and some |
| Tx:31.69 | about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as | wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is wholly |
| Tx:31.69 | as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is | wholly changed. Your “evil” thoughts have been forgiven with his, |
| Tx:31.80 | yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a | wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts and prepared to look on |
| W1:8.2 | The only | wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not |
| W1:19.2 | again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a | wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an |
| W1:27.1 | of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be | wholly true a little nearer. |
| W1:29.4 | particularly tempting in connection with today's idea because of its | wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you impose is equally |
| W1:44.5 | Your mind is no longer | wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise |
| W1:45.10 | since then will change, but the foundation on which they rest is | wholly changeless. It is this foundation toward which the exercises |
| W1:49.2 | that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at rest, and | wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part |
| W1:66.3 | Today we will try to go past this | wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your |
| W1:67.2 | the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its | wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating |
| W1:72.4 | for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator | wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable. |
| W1:73.10 | with the recognition that God's plan for salvation, and only His, is | wholly in accord with your will. It is not the purpose of an alien |
| W1:74.2 | for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is | wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without |
| W1:83.7 | my function. The oneness of my happiness and my function remains | wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the |
| W1:101.3 | before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but | wholly just. |
| W1:103.6 | the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and | wholly true: |
| W1:108.1 | all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is | wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind |
| W1:108.5 | will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother | wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these are but |
| W1:125.9 | Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the | wholly indivisible and true. |
| W1:129.4 | what they say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and | wholly shared and wholly one. |
| W1:129.4 | be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and | wholly one. |
| W1:131.7 | the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and | wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle |
| W1:134.6 | It is sin's unreality that makes forgiveness natural and | wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer it; a quiet blessing |
| W1:136.12 | cannot be attacked. What is unalterable cannot change. And what is | wholly sinless cannot sin. |
| W1:136.17 | the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be | wholly healed today. |
| W1:138.10 | alternatives when only one is seen as valuable, the other as a | wholly worthless thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who |
| W1:151.11 | seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference, | wholly unified and sure. And you will see the love beyond the hate, |
| W1:158.1 | that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless forever, | wholly unafraid because you were created out of Love. Nor have you |
| W1:162.4 | beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So | wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places |
| W1:166.9 | than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not | wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion |
| W1:170.4 | you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem | wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and |
| W1:181.9 | there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a | wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when |
| W1:186.11 | to dispel the night, your truly given function stands out clear and | wholly unambiguous. There is no doubt of its validity. It comes from |
| W1:189.3 | belies the other. Only one can be perceived at all. The other one is | wholly meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on everything |
| W1:189.7 | from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with | wholly empty hands unto your God. |
| W1:190.1 | death. Can such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but | wholly false? |
| W1:190.2 | for a crime that could not be committed, for attack on what is | wholly unassailable. It is a nightmare of abandonment by an eternal |
| W1:191.9 | And in that thought is everything you look on | wholly changed. |
| W1:192.3 | Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into form the | wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to |
| W1:193.1 | expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and | wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His Will provides |
| W1:196.10 | There is an instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so | wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize once and |
| W2:224.1 | My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, | wholly beneficent and free from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give |
| W2:234.1 | disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as | wholly true today. |
| W2:242.2 | And so we give today to You. We come with | wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we |
| W2:268.2 | is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is | wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today. |
| W2:286.2 | us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to a | wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God |
| W2:291.2 | instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are | wholly certain. Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends |
| W2:305.1 | Christ's vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and | wholly changeless that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons |
| W2:WILJ.2 | For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and | wholly purposeless. Without a cause and now without a function in |
| W2:328.2 | contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your will that I be | wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that will which |
| W2:354.1 | 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 the Christ |
| M:4.7 | best interests on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how | wholly impossible such a demand would be. He can learn this only as |
| M:4.15 | Therefore God's teachers are | wholly gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for it is in |
| M:4.22 | True faithfulness, however, does not deviate. Being consistent, it is | wholly honest. Being unswerving, it is full of trust. Being based on |
| M:8.6 | outside world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is | wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and place—for |
| M:10.3 | is no distortion in his perception, so that his judgment would be | wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests, now and in the future. Who |
| M:10.4 | judgment on everyone and everything involved in any way. And He is | wholly fair to everyone, for there is no distortion in His perception. |
| M:12.1 | The answer to this question is “one.” One | wholly perfect teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This One, |
| M:12.1 | redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always | wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a |
| M:15.3 | judgment 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 |
| M:18.2 | teachers’ major lesson is to learn how to react to magic thoughts | wholly without anger. Only in this way can they proclaim the truth |
| M:19.4 | one with Him. God's Judgment is His justice. Onto this—a judgment | wholly lacking in condemnation, an evaluation based entirely on love |
| M:20.6 | God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His Will is | wholly without opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His |
| M:22.1 | concept possible in this world, because it is the source of a | wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless idea, |
| M:28.3 | curriculum ends. From here on no directions are needed. Vision is | wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless, and |
| M:29.4 | has not forgotten it. His decisions bring benefit to all, being | wholly devoid of attack. And therefore incapable of arousing guilt. |

| Tx:6.26 | very statement you are making that you are different from the one on | whom you project. Since you have also judged against what you |
| Tx:7.27 | You who are not at war must look for brothers and recognize all | whom you see as brothers, because only equals are at peace. |
| Tx:7.76 | Only honor is a fitting gift for those | whom God Himself created worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give |
| Tx:7.76 | fitting gift for those whom God Himself created worthy of honor and | whom He honors. Give them the appreciation which God accords them |
| Tx:7.76 | which God accords them always, because they are His beloved Sons in | whom He is well pleased. You cannot be apart from them, because you |
| Tx:8.4 | Those | whom you perceive as opponents are part of your peace, which you are |
| Tx:8.9 | anything it teaches make anything but sense? Is this the teacher to | whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The ego has never |
| Tx:8.33 | your freedom is in Him. Join then with me in praise of Him and you | whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will |
| Tx:8.33 | of gratitude to Him, which He will share with all His creations, to | whom He gives equally whatever is acceptable to Him. Because it is |
| Tx:8.43 | of yourselves. He has saved you for yourselves. Let us glorify Him | whom the world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one |
| Tx:8.50 | born of my knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be separated. | Whom God has joined cannot be separated, and God has joined all His |
| Tx:8.58 | of yourselves you can do nothing. You are not of yourselves. He of | Whom you are has willed your power and glory for you, with which you |
| Tx:8.83 | How you wake is the sign of how you have used sleep. To | whom did you give it? Under which teacher did you place it? Whenever |
| Tx:8.113 | speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in | whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You |
| Tx:10.19 | the invitation must come from you, for you have surely learned that | whom you invite as your guest will abide with you. |
| Tx:10.21 | your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest | whom God sent you will teach you how to do this if you but recognize |
| Tx:10.22 | Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You will accept only | whom you invite. You are free to determine who shall be your guest |
| Tx:10.23 | Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind, it does not see | whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the Son of |
| Tx:10.38 | know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in | whom the whole Sonship rests. |
| Tx:10.65 | the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His Son, | whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in |
| Tx:10.66 | redeemed from his own crucifixion, and you cannot assign to death | whom God has given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still lies |
| Tx:10.82 | for it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son, | whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being. |
| Tx:10.84 | And being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your Father in | Whom no deceit is possible. |
| Tx:10.87 | you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God's Son, | whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of |
| Tx:10.87 | use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son of God in | whom He is not deceived. |
| Tx:11.39 | before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, | whom He loves with the love of the Father. |
| Tx:11.75 | The ego is not a traitor to God to | Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who believe |
| Tx:12.40 | is what we should offer Him. For every Son of God is given you to | whom God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you must offer them to |
| Tx:12.40 | Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to | Whom you must offer them to recognize His gift to you. |
| Tx:12.53 | remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation. Those | whom you heal bear witness to your healing, for in their wholeness |
| Tx:13.16 | that it is impossible to condemn the Son of God in part. Those | whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you |
| Tx:13.16 | Project it not, for while you do, it cannot be undone. With everyone | whom you release from guilt, great is the joy in Heaven, where the |
| Tx:13.23 | present. Yet you let them stand between you and your brothers, with | whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use |
| Tx:13.32 | forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, | whom You have created guiltless forever. |
| Tx:13.41 | would have removed, because it breaks communication with you with | whom He would communicate. His voice will be heard. |
| Tx:13.54 | The Holy Spirit needs a happy learner in | whom His mission can be happily accomplished. You who are steadfastly |
| Tx:13.78 | thinking that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to | Whom God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, |
| Tx:13.79 | Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son, | whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and |
| Tx:14.7 | a wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn | whom God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does |
| Tx:14.11 | but to restore what is the right of God's creation. From everyone | whom you accord release from guilt, you will inevitably learn your |
| Tx:14.12 | from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone | whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no |
| Tx:14.14 | it. That is the symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness. | Whom you perceive as guilty, you would crucify. Yet you restore |
| Tx:14.21 | He will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with | Whom you are in perfect communication. |
| Tx:14.31 | You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him | Whom God has given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It |
| Tx:14.32 | be brought to the judgment of the Holy Spirit and there undone. | Whom He would save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the |
| Tx:14.37 | only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the Son, for | whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your |
| Tx:14.37 | the Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To | whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts will vanish on |
| Tx:14.61 | sent from Him, already learned for every Child of light by Him to | Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies |
| Tx:14.66 | refusal to attempt to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide | Whom God has given you will speak to you. He will take His rightful |
| Tx:15.20 | You will doubt until you hear one witness | whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you |
| Tx:15.27 | His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make little | whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven |
| Tx:15.28 | deceives you, but your magnitude is of Him Who dwells in you and in | Whom you dwell. Touch no one, then, with littleness, in the name of |
| Tx:15.29 | our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host | whom God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to |
| Tx:15.89 | for this? For the body is little and limited, and only those | whom you would see without the limits the ego would impose on them |
| Tx:16.17 | God wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on | whom God loves with perfect love? |
| Tx:16.26 | two selves in conflict. What is beyond God? If you who hold Him and | whom He holds are the universe, all else must be outside, where |
| Tx:16.40 | love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear. | Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten what |
| Tx:17.6 | you have held outside the truth to Him who knows the truth and in | Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be |
| Tx:17.17 | of vengeance and what can be most readily associated with those on | whom vengeance is really sought are centered on and separated off as |
| Tx:17.17 | unreality. The shadow figures enter more and more, and the one in | whom they seem to be decreases in importance. |
| Tx:17.19 | the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even the one with | whom the union was sought. For it was formed to get him out of it and |
| Tx:17.22 | you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is one. | Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart. The spark of |
| Tx:17.70 | The power set in you in | whom the Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond |
| Tx:17.71 | shines from the center of the situation and touches everyone to | whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to everyone. There is no |
| Tx:18.12 | Whom God has called should hear no substitutes. Their call is but an | |
| Tx:18.21 | purpose He has given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to | whom He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for |
| Tx:18.48 | this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my brother, | whom I love. It is not possible that I can have it without him, or he |
| Tx:18.58 | be? You are surrounded only by Him. What limit can there be on you | whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a |
| Tx:18.83 | dust still seems to cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He | Whom you welcomed has come to you and would welcome you. He has |
| Tx:19.12 | Faith is the gift of God, through Him | Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God and |
| Tx:19.13 | the body's eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in | Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a body, but to a mind. And |
| Tx:19.16 | to time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. | Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all |
| Tx:19.23 | and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of God, | Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's wish, which in its |
| Tx:19.57 | Yet would I offer you my body, you | whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that bodies |
| Tx:19.87 | born in time but nourished in eternity. Behold this infant to | whom you gave a resting-place by your forgiveness of each other, and |
| Tx:19.103 | His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of sin, know not | Whom they attack. This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting |
| Tx:19.104 | has been given you to give each other, and thus receive it. | Whom you forgive is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the |
| Tx:20.7 | the Son of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to | whom the gift is offered. Offer him thorns and you are crucified. |
| Tx:20.25 | your hold and raise your eyes unto your strong companion, in | whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified |
| Tx:20.65 | sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, sight of | whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to see him not in |
| Tx:21.11 | This is the vision of the Son of God, | whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his Father. |
| Tx:21.12 | sing of. What is a miracle but this remembering? And who is there in | whom this memory lies not? The light in one awakens it in all. And |
| Tx:21.29 | Forget not this—to bargain is to set a limit, and any brother with | whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may attempt to |
| Tx:21.35 | now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is limitation, and | whom you try to limit to the body you hate because you fear. In your |
| Tx:21.42 | the ego is not alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” | Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to |
| Tx:21.71 | Because they do not know that they are one with him, they know not | whom they hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to |
| Tx:21.77 | or heal. For healing comes of power and attack of helplessness. | Whom you attack you cannot want to heal. And whom you would have |
| Tx:21.77 | attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot want to heal. And | whom you would have healed must be the one you chose to be protected |
| Tx:21.88 | will ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one | whom God Himself will never fail to answer. God has already given him |
| Tx:22.1 | Take pity on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice | whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on |
| Tx:22.5 | Let reason take another step. If you attack | whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your |
| Tx:22.6 | see through eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To | whom would vision such as this send back its messages? Surely not |
| Tx:22.20 | guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to | Whom nothing He wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment |
| Tx:22.47 | with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can separate | whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father Whom you would |
| Tx:22.47 | can separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father | Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep love |
| Tx:22.48 | meaningless! How insignificant before the quiet strength of those | whom love has joined! This is your “enemy”—a frightened mouse that |
| Tx:22.48 | by this mouse but by the Will of God. And can a mouse betray | whom God has joined? |
| Tx:22.58 | for what the Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to | whom He offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He will bestow |
| Tx:23.10 | sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to | Whom all conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. |
| Tx:23.25 | in misery. For now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and to | Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the Son, whose |
| Tx:23.30 | brother's body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to | whom the gift belongs. He would deprive you of the secret ingredient |
| Tx:24.5 | justify attack? For who could hate someone whose Self is his and | whom He knows? Only the special could have enemies, for they are |
| Tx:24.12 | can perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks upon. And always | whom it thus diminishes would be your savior, had you not chosen to |
| Tx:24.14 | sons are many, never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of | Whom they are a part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which created them |
| Tx:24.39 | you saved what you appointed to be your savior and crucified the one | whom God has given you instead. So are you bound with him, for you |
| Tx:24.45 | His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you hold and | whom you lead to Him. And what you see is like yourself. For what but |
| Tx:24.54 | your salvation and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in | Whom your brother lives and you along with him. Let not your eyes be |
| Tx:24.57 | along with you. And both shall see God's glory in His Son, | whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no power over |
| Tx:24.62 | you have made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on | whom such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation |
| Tx:24.71 | evil. Yet your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in | whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means to |
| Tx:25.36 | the Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for | whom it was created as his only home? Nothing before and nothing |
| Tx:25.66 | justice, being blind, is satisfied by being paid, it matters not by | whom. Can this be justice? God knows not of this. But justice does He |
| Tx:25.76 | 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 see another's |
| Tx:26.3 | the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each brother | whom you see. For you must see him as you see yourself. |
| Tx:26.15 | be resolved. For there are those you want to suffer loss and no one | whom you wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once |
| Tx:26.45 | he could remain content. Yet God has given him a better Friend in | Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you |
| Tx:26.46 | 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 who is your only Friend |
| Tx:26.46 | He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to | whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He |
| Tx:26.64 | of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of love. To you to | whom it has been given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and |
| Tx:26.77 | Think but how holy you must be from | whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may |
| Tx:26.84 | Now is the temple of the Living God rebuilt as host again to Him by | Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never |
| Tx:27.15 | cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in | whom true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of |
| Tx:27.21 | Who then fears healing? Only those to | whom their brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their |
| Tx:27.42 | answers questions truly asked. The questions of the world but ask of | whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice is meaningful at |
| Tx:27.42 | sacrifice is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer tells “of | whom,” it will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the question is |
| Tx:27.53 | Peace be to you to | whom is healing offered. And you will learn that peace is given you |
| Tx:27.76 | He represents his Father, | Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. Brother, He |
| Tx:28.12 | He to | Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. |
| Tx:28.12 | His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son of God, for | whom they have been kept. How gladly does He offer them unto the one |
| Tx:28.12 | they have been kept. How gladly does He offer them unto the one for | whom He has been given them! And His Creator shares His thanks |
| Tx:29.17 | than all He really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it is you of | whom the sacrifice is asked? For He is told that part of Him belongs |
| Tx:29.23 | God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son. | Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions. By |
| Tx:29.34 | glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His perfect gift in | whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as |
| Tx:29.34 | His Son, His perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to | whom is all creation given as his own. Because he has it is it given |
| Tx:29.59 | only question which has many answers, each depending on the one of | whom the question has been asked. The world believes in idols. No one |
| Tx:30.36 | then God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him | whom God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind |
| Tx:30.47 | the Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator | Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that it is there. |
| Tx:31.9 | His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were fear indeed if he | whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son |
| Tx:31.52 | generated by your brother, who was there to make the other? And from | whom must something be kept hidden? If the world be evil, there is |
| Tx:31.77 | a partial savior would be one who is but partly saved. The holy ones | whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or look |
| Tx:31.82 | seeing eyes and offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to | whom God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you |
| Tx:31.82 | My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you learn that it is you for | whom He asks release? And what but this is what this course would |
| Tx:31.87 | image left to veil the truth. [He would remove all misery from you, | whom God created altars unto joy.] He would not leave you |
| W1:14.6 | anything you are afraid might happen to you or to anyone about | whom you are concerned. In each case, name the “disaster” quite |
| W1:39.4 | is the salvation of the world and your own. How could you to | whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know |
| W1:46.3 | you do so and spend a minute or two in searching your mind for those | whom you have not forgiven. It does not matter “how much” you have |
| W1:68.6 | extended practice period by searching your mind for those against | whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these will |
| W1:68.6 | love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against | whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort. This has left you |
| W1:71.11 | do? Where would You have me go? What would You have me say, and to | whom? |
| W1:72.15 | of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of | Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your confidence wane and your hope of |
| W1:78.5 | you think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but | whom you see as difficult at times or hard to please—demanding, |
| W1:78.6 | his name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of | whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through seeing him behind the |
| W1:99.7 | Salvation is your function with the One to | Whom the plan was given. Now are you entrusted with this plan, along |
| W1:100.2 | Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to | whom He sends you. They will see their function in your shining face |
| W1:108.12 | this is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to think of one to | whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, and through him |
| W1:121.9 | today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one | whom you think of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend. |
| W1:121.9 | forgiving toward one whom you think of as an enemy and one | whom you consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as |
| W1:123.3 | far transcends your meager gifts and petty judgments of the one | whom God established as His Son. |
| W1:123.7 | yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you will realize to | Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. |
| W1:123.7 | twice today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and | Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given |
| W1:126.3 | merely to point out that you are better, on a higher plane than he | whom you forgive. He has not earned your charitable tolerance, which |
| W1:137.10 | be healed, you see all those around you or who cross your mind or | whom you touch or those who seem to have no contact with you healed |
| W1:139.3 | you can be alive instead? Who is the doubter? What is it he doubts? | Whom does he question? Who can answer him? He merely states that he |
| W1:151.8 | only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect, everlasting sinlessness. | Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling now to play |
| W1:154.2 | and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to | whom, and when, He chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not |
| W1:154.5 | he brings. It is enough that he accept it, give it to the ones for | whom it is appointed, and fulfill his role in its delivery. If he |
| W1:154.11 | us. He needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to those | whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that |
| W1:158.7 | has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son | whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea beyond |
| W1:158.10 | light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother | whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's vision |
| W1:160.2 | truth regards as senseless. Stranger yet, he does not recognize to | whom he comes and yet maintains his home belongs to him, while he is |
| W1:160.8 | a stranger to your Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you. | Whom God has joined remains forever one, at home in Him, no stranger |
| W1:161.9 | This do the body's eyes behold in one | whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God created perfect. This |
| W1:161.15 | And He will answer | Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you and |
| W1:161.15 | hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him now | whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that Christ |
| W1:166.8 | then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him | whom God intended only joy? |
| W1:167.11 | we share with Him, with all creation, with their thoughts as well, | whom He created in a unity of life that cannot separate in death and |
| W1:168.5 | not our own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to | Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who answers our mistakes by |
| W1:190.2 | of abandonment by an eternal Love which could not leave the Son | whom It created out of love. |
| W1:193.4 | The One | Whom God created to replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the |
| W1:196.8 | You do not now believe that fear is caused without. And God, | Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy |
| W1:R6.11 | Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not forget to | Whom it has been given as we practice day by day, advancing toward |
| W1:211.1 | and in true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the Son | whom He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am |
| W1:217.1 | but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the Self to | Whom my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as |
| W2:I.9 | We had a wish that God would fail to have the Son | whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and be |
| W2:WF.5 | given Him by God. Now must you share His function and forgive | whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as |
| W2:WF.5 | and forgive whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and | whom He honors as the Son of God. |
| W2:239.1 | thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with | whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be |
| W2:WIW.4 | of God. And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One | Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the |
| W2:253.2 | You are the Self | Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My |
| W2:256.1 | yet remain asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him | whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we |
| W2:256.1 | Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in | whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream |
| W2:261.2 | home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find the Son | whom You created as my Self. |
| W2:270.2 | His sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son | whom God created whole, the holy Son whom God created one. |
| W2:270.2 | world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son | whom God created one. |
| W2:WIC.5 | perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ | Whom God created as His Son. |
| W2:275.2 | nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go, to | whom to speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what |
| W2:279.2 | promises today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son | Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave to |

| M:3.1 | no one from whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one | whom he cannot teach. However, from a practical point of view, he |

| M:4.20 | —nothing that did not serve to benefit the world as well as him to | whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time. |

| Tx:25.56 | requires special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the insane, | whose problem is their choices are not free and made with reason in |
| Tx:25.75 | Your special function is a call to Him that He may smile on you | whose sinlessness He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so |
| Tx:26.38 | the way in the direction of the past but sets you on a mission | whose accomplishment can only be unreal. Such is the justice your |
| Tx:27.9 | in itself. For it becomes the symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt | whose consequences still are there to see, so that the cause can |
| Tx:27.54 | demonstrates the body must be real. It is a loud, obscuring voice | whose shrieks would silence what the Holy Spirit says and keep His |
| Tx:27.81 | the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, | whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the |
| Tx:27.83 | as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of circularity | whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause. The world |
| Tx:28.37 | and without identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on | whose evil dream you share. You can be sure of just one thing—that |
| Tx:28.59 | and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the Will of God, | Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his will, |
| Tx:28.60 | cannot be false. What will can come between what must be one, and in | Whose wholeness there can be no gap? |
| Tx:29.13 | when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome everyone | whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon you stand and where |
| Tx:29.42 | here but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the world | whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how |

| Tx:30.31 | asked for and will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the world. | Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of day will you |
| Tx:30.37 | will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him | Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to ask the world be |
| Tx:30.63 | hands, it was Christ's hand they took, and they will look on Him | Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before the |

| Tx:31.79 | cherish it, you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self | whose image has the wish begot of you. For vision can but represent a |

| W1:45.12 | aside, however briefly, from all thoughts that are unworthy of Him | Whose host you are. And thank Him for the thoughts He is thinking |
| W1:95.6 | of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those | whose motivation is inconsistent and who remain heavily defended |
| W1:96.9 | We will attempt today to find this thought, | whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you |

| Tx:1.32 | The power to work miracles belongs to you. I | will provide the opportunities to do them, but you must be ready and |
| Tx:1.32 | you must be ready and willing since you are already able. Doing them | will bring conviction in the ability, since conviction really comes |
| Tx:1.34 | me. “Heaven and earth shall pass away” simply means that they | will not continue to exist as separate states. My word, which is the |
| Tx:1.49 | Miracles are expressions of love, but it does not follow that they | will always [be effective]. I am the only one who can perform |
| Tx:1.49 | I am the Atonement. You have a role in the Atonement, which I | will dictate to you. Ask me which miracles you should perform. This |
| Tx:1.49 | miracles you should perform. This spares you exhaustion, because you | will act under direct communication. |
| Tx:1.62 | miracles and projection. The stimulus must precede the response and | will also determine the kind of response that is evoked. Behavior is |
| Tx:1.64 | are equal members of the same family, as you perceive both, so you | will behave toward both. The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior |
| Tx:1.66 | I assure you that I | will witness for anyone who lets me and to whatever extent he permits |
| Tx:1.73 | which you are not even aware. That is not your concern. The miracle | will always bless you. |
| Tx:1.75 | that you should always keep your perceptions straight, so that you | will always be ready, willing, and able. These are the essentials for |
| Tx:1.87 | Man was not created by his own free | will alone. Only what he creates is his to decide. The basic decision |
| Tx:1.88 | that he has everything, individual contributions to the Sonship | will no longer be necessary. When the Atonement has been completed, |
| Tx:1.88 | be necessary. When the Atonement has been completed, all talents | will be shared by all the Sons of God. God is not partial. All His |
| Tx:1.96 | use them for themselves. Since this makes it inevitable that they | will extend them to others, a strong chain of Atonement is welded. |
| Tx:1.97 | The power and strength of man's creative | will must be understood before the real meaning of denial can be |
| Tx:1.101 | Believe this and you | will be free. Only God can establish this solution, and this faith is |
| Tx:1.103 | it unless you discover what the “something” is? This course, then, | will concentrate on validity and let reliability fall naturally into |
| Tx:1.104 | and depression if denied. All real pleasure comes from doing God's | Will. This is because not doing it is a denial of self. Denial of |
| Tx:1.107 | himself. Man believes in what he creates. If he creates miracles, he | will be equally strong in his belief in them. The strength of his |
| Tx:1.107 | equally strong in his belief in them. The strength of his conviction | will then sustain the belief of the miracle receiver. And fantasies |
| Tx:2.1 | some definitions which I asked you to take from the dictionary which | will be helpful here. They are somewhat unusual since they are not |
| Tx:2.3 | We | will refer later to projection as related to both mental health and |
| Tx:2.5 | the Souls He created, and He also imbued them with the same loving | will to create. The Soul has not only been fully created but has also |
| Tx:2.6 | If you consider carefully what this entails, the following | will become quite apparent: |
| Tx:2.12 | mind. The latter required the endowment of man by God with free | will because all loving creation is freely given. Nothing in these |
| Tx:2.14 | Spirit to him. In reality, this is his only choice, because his free | will was given him for his own joy in creating the perfect. |
| Tx:2.18 | If you are afraid, you are valuing wrongly. Human understanding | will inevitably value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts |
| Tx:2.18 | value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts with equal power, | will inevitably destroy peace. That is why the Bible speaks of “the |
| Tx:2.21 | injustice if that is what his mind creates. You are afraid of God's | Will because you have used your own will, which He created in the |
| Tx:2.21 | creates. You are afraid of God's Will because you have used your own | will, which He created in the likeness of His own, to miscreate. What |
| Tx:2.21 | not free by definition. It is possessed or held back by itself. Its | will is therefore limited and is not free to assert itself. The real |
| Tx:2.21 | of one kind,” which was mentioned before, is “are of one mind or | will.” When the will of the Sonship and the Father are one, their |
| Tx:2.21 | which was mentioned before, is “are of one mind or will.” When the | will of the Sonship and the Father are one, their perfect accord is |
| Tx:2.22 | Denial of error is a powerful defense of truth. You | will note that we have been shifting the emphasis from the negative |
| Tx:2.22 | denial of error frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the | will. When the will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it |
| Tx:2.22 | frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the will. When the | will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it recognizes only |
| Tx:2.35 | his own treasure. You do not have to tell him to do so because he | will do it automatically. The real questions still remain. What do |
| Tx:2.35 | them into all your actions as the true criteria for behavior, I | will have little difficulty in clarifying the means. You have not |
| Tx:2.35 | lot of time if you do not extend this step unduly. The correct focus | will shorten it immeasurably. |
| Tx:2.41 | to time. Until the Atonement is finished, its various phases | will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at time's end. |
| Tx:2.42 | This is what is meant by “the meek shall inherit the earth.” They | will literally take it over because of their strength. A two-way |
| Tx:2.47 | were created for this purpose. This appears to contradict free | will because of the inevitability of the final decision. If you |
| Tx:2.47 | the final decision. If you review the idea carefully, however, you | will realize that this is not true. Everything is limited in some way |
| Tx:2.47 | is limited in some way by the manner of its creation. Free | will can temporize and is capable of enormous procrastination. But it |
| Tx:2.48 | The misuse of | will engenders a situation which in the extreme becomes altogether |
| Tx:2.49 | to truth. Because of the real strength of Its vision, It pulls the | will into Its service and impels the mind to concur. This |
| Tx:2.49 | impels the mind to concur. This reestablishes the true power of the | will and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay. The mind |
| Tx:2.51 | of healing the separation. The Atonement is the guarantee that they | will ultimately succeed. |
| Tx:2.52 | The emphasis | will now be on healing. The miracle is the means, the Atonement is |
| Tx:2.59 | manner in which it is expressed. In fact, if it is truly used, it | will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the |
| Tx:2.63 | however, that the miracle worker be in his right mind or he | will be unable to reestablish right-mindedness in someone else. |
| Tx:2.67 | entails fear is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye | will see. We said before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and |
| Tx:2.68 | in what his physical sight tells him, all his corrective behavior | will be misdirected. The real vision is obscured, because man cannot |
| Tx:2.72 | me from controlling it. The correction is therefore a matter of your | will, because its presence shows that you have raised the unimportant |
| Tx:2.72 | a higher level than it warrants. You have thus brought it under your | will, where it does not belong. This means that you feel responsible |
| Tx:2.74 | must change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of | will. |
| Tx:2.75 | error does. The correction is always the same. Before you | will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. If |
| Tx:2.75 | is always the same. Before you will to do anything, ask me if your | will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there will |
| Tx:2.75 | your will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there | will be no fear. |
| Tx:2.76 | Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises whenever the | will to do conflicts with what you do. This situation arises in two |
| Tx:2.77 | First, you can | will to do conflicting things, either simultaneously or successively. |
| Tx:2.77 | behavior, which is intolerable to yourself because the part of the | will that wants to do something else is outraged. |
| Tx:2.79 | In both cases, the | will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation in |
| Tx:2.79 | resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do not | will. This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage. |
| Tx:2.80 | there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. Your | will is split, and your behavior inevitably becomes erratic. |
| Tx:2.80 | from the first to the second type of strain described above but | will not obliterate the fear. It is possible to reach a state in |
| Tx:2.80 | the fear. It is possible to reach a state in which you bring your | will under my guidance without much conscious effort, but this |
| Tx:2.80 | have not developed dependably as yet. God cannot ask more than you | will. The strength to do comes from your own undivided will to do. |
| Tx:2.80 | more than you will. The strength to do comes from your own undivided | will to do. There is no strain in doing God's Will as soon as you |
| Tx:2.80 | your own undivided will to do. There is no strain in doing God's | Will as soon as you recognize that it is also your own. |
| Tx:2.81 | lesson here is quite simple but particularly apt to be overlooked. I | will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. Only your mind can |
| Tx:2.87 | creation. As long as you recognize only the need for the remedy, you | will remain fearful. However, as soon as you remedy it, you have also |
| Tx:2.88 | It never sleeps. Every instant it is creating and always as you | will. Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. For example, |
| Tx:2.88 | a thought,” you imply that if you do not think about something, it | will have no effect on you. And this is true enough. |
| Tx:2.89 | to grow when you say it, because you do not really think that you | will. |
| Tx:2.94 | of training. I cannot let them leave their minds unguarded, or they | will not be able to help me. Miracle working entails a full |
| Tx:2.94 | of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle | will be necessary to set the mind itself straight, a circular process |
| Tx:2.103 | As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is usually some | will to accomplish, but this is by no means necessarily undivided. |
| Tx:2.103 | The state does not imply more than a potential for a shift of | will. |
| Tx:2.104 | case this be misunderstood to imply that an enormous amount of time | will be necessary between readiness and mastery, let me remind you |
| Tx:2.105 | where the belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His | will to create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing |
| Tx:2.105 | create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing the same | will in His creation. Since creative ability rests in the mind, |
| Tx:2.105 | in the mind, everything that man creates is necessarily a matter of | will. It also follows that whatever he creates is real in his own |
| Tx:2.106 | separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment | will extend over a similarly long period and perhaps an even longer |
| Tx:2.108 | generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. Actually it | will be undertaken by man with my help. It is a final healing rather |
| Tx:2.109 | a process of right evaluation. It simply means that finally all men | will come to understand what is worthy and what is not. After this, |
| Tx:2.109 | is made, however, the vacillations between free and imprisoned | will cannot but continue. The first step toward freedom must entail a |
| Tx:2.109 | sense and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse. Man | will ultimately look upon his own creations and will to preserve only |
| Tx:2.109 | the Apocalypse. Man will ultimately look upon his own creations and | will to preserve only what is good, just as God Himself looked upon |
| Tx:2.110 | At this point, the | will can begin to look with love on its own creations because of |
| Tx:2.110 | on its own creations because of their great worthiness. The mind | will inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's |
| Tx:2.110 | inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's belief, | will no longer exist. The term “Last Judgment” is frightening not |
| Tx:3.1 | heavily on these earlier sections not to require their study. You | will also need them for preparation. Without this, you may become |
| Tx:3.1 | use of it. However, as you study these earlier sections, you | will begin to see some of their implications, which will be amplified |
| Tx:3.1 | sections, you will begin to see some of their implications, which | will be amplified considerably later on. |
| Tx:3.2 | to which we have already referred and which so many people hold. You | will remember that we said that awe is inappropriate in connection |
| Tx:3.3 | unwise to start on these steps without careful preparation or awe | will be confused with fear, and the experience will be more traumatic |
| Tx:3.3 | preparation or awe will be confused with fear, and the experience | will be more traumatic than beatific. Healing is of God in the end. |
| Tx:3.4 | of time and space do not apply. When you perform a miracle, I | will arrange both time and space to adjust to it. |
| Tx:3.18 | separately. If you can accept the one generalization now, there | will be no need to learn from many smaller lessons. |
| Tx:3.19 | no confusion within its levels because they are of One Mind and One | Will. This single purpose creates perfect integration and establishes |
| Tx:3.20 | it. Understanding the lesson of the Atonement, they are without the | will to attack, and therefore they see truly. This is what the Bible |
| Tx:3.27 | what does not really exist. When you lack confidence in what someone | will do, you are attesting to your belief that he is not in his right |
| Tx:3.28 | times that only what God creates, or what man creates with the same | will, has any real existence. This, then, is all the innocent can |
| Tx:3.29 | are willing to validate what is true in everything you perceive, you | will make it true for you. Truth overcomes all error. This means that |
| Tx:3.33 | mind is closed because it believes the future and present | will be the same. This establishes an unchanged state or stasis. It |
| Tx:3.33 | usually an attempt to counteract an underlying fear that the future | will be worse than the present, and this fear inhibits the tendency |
| Tx:3.36 | If you attack error in one another, you | will hurt yourself. You cannot recognize each other when you attack. |
| Tx:3.36 | His Sons. There He can communicate His certainty, and His knowledge | will bring peace without question. |
| Tx:3.37 | to each other. Knowledge preceded both perception and time and | will ultimately replace them. That is the real meaning of the |
| Tx:3.38 | open to question or doubt. This is because he is not certain how he | will use them. He is therefore incapable of knowledge, being |
| Tx:3.44 | Perception always involves some misuse of | will, because it involves the mind in areas of uncertainty. The mind |
| Tx:3.45 | Soul that it derives its whole power to create. Even in miscreation | will is affirming its Source or it would merely cease to be. This is |
| Tx:3.47 | 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 | exists. Truth cannot deal with unwilling error because it does not | will to be blocked out. I was a man who remembered the Soul and its |
| Tx:3.48 | powerlessness of the body and the power of the mind. By uniting my | will with that of my Creator, I naturally remembered the Soul and its |
| Tx:3.49 | I cannot unite your | will with God's for you, but I can erase all misperceptions from your |
| Tx:3.49 | for you, but I can erase all misperceptions from your mind if you | will bring it under my guidance. Only your misperceptions stand in |
| Tx:3.50 | of the celestial speed-up. Strong wills can do this now, and you | will find rest for your Souls. God knows you only in peace, and this |
| Tx:3.51 | after the separation. No one has been sure of anything since. You | will also remember, however, that I made it clear that the |
| Tx:3.51 | the return to knowledge, which was accomplished by the union of my | will with the Father's. We can now make a distinction which will |
| Tx:3.51 | of my will with the Father's. We can now make a distinction which | will greatly facilitate clarity in our subsequent statements. |
| Tx:3.61 | in some though insufficient detail. After the Last Judgment there | will be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense that everyone is |
| Tx:3.61 | it merely means that if you judge the reality of others at all, you | will be unable to avoid judging your own. The choice to judge rather |
| Tx:3.63 | judgment. When you recognize what you and your brothers are, you | will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning. In |
| Tx:3.66 | to be the author of reality, which is totally impossible anyway, you | will insist on holding onto judgment. You will also use the term with |
| Tx:3.66 | impossible anyway, you will insist on holding onto judgment. You | will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that |
| Tx:3.66 | also use the term with considerable fear, believing that judgment | will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is used |
| Tx:3.71 | he is imprisoned in some way. If this is the result of his own free | will, he must regard his will as if it were not free, or the |
| Tx:3.71 | way. If this is the result of his own free will, he must regard his | will as if it were not free, or the obviously circular reasoning |
| Tx:3.71 | reasoning involved in his position would be quite apparent. Free | will must lead to freedom. Judgment always imprisons because it |
| Tx:3.71 | the Kingdom of Heaven,” and you have said, “I know what I am, and I | will to accept my own inheritance.” |
| Tx:3.72 | without power. It is essential to realize this because otherwise you | will not understand why you have so much trouble with this course and |
| Tx:3.72 | not understand why you have so much trouble with this course and | will be unable to escape from the prisons which you have made for |
| Tx:3.73 | the power of your minds. To do so is to deceive yourself, and this | will hurt you because you know the strength of the mind. You also |
| Tx:3.78 | lives and see what the devil has made. But know that this making | will surely dissolve in the light of truth, because its foundation is |

| Tx:3.80 | shine from the true Foundation of Life, and your own thought system | will stand corrected. It cannot stand otherwise. You who fear |
| Tx:4.4 | compulsions can be endless unless they are given up by an act of | will. Do not make the pathetic human error of “clinging to the old |
| Tx:4.4 | to offer you. We have another journey to undertake, and if you | will read these lessons carefully, they will help to prepare you to |

| Tx:4.7 | same order of learning, and unless they share their lessons, they | will lack conviction. A good teacher must believe in the ideas which |
| Tx:4.8 | that if you allow no change to enter into your ego, your Soul | will find peace. This profound confusion is possible only if one |
| Tx:4.8 | and God's Self are in opposition. They are opposed in creation, in | will, and in outcome. They are fundamentally irreconcilable because |
| Tx:4.11 | of guardian[s] of your thought system[s] and open [them] to me, I | will correct [them] very gently and lead you home. Every good teacher |
| Tx:4.11 | hopes to give his students so much of his own thinking that they | will one day no longer need him. This is the one real goal of the |
| Tx:4.11 | the one real goal of the parent, teacher, and therapist. This goal | will not be achieved by those who believe that they will lose their |
| Tx:4.11 | This goal will not be achieved by those who believe that they | will lose their child or pupil or patient if they succeed. It is |
| Tx:4.12 | at all. If you perceive a teacher as merely a “larger ego,” you | will be afraid because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation |
| Tx:4.12 | because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation anxiety. I | will teach with you and live with you if you will think with me, but |
| Tx:4.12 | separation 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 |

| Tx:4.13 | not be able to devote myself to teaching if I believed this, and you | will not be a devoted teacher as long as you maintain it. I am |
| Tx:4.14 | established by God. As long as you dispute this, everything you do | will be fearful, particularly any situation which lends itself to the |
| Tx:4.15 | into forms of praise for itself in order to overcome its doubts. It | will be doubtful forever, or rather as long as you believe in it. You |
| Tx:4.16 | have chosen to be afraid instead of meeting it. When you awaken you | will not be able to understand this because it is literally |
| Tx:4.17 | afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you | will withdraw all protection from the ego and become totally without |
| Tx:4.18 | chosen to leave it empty by their own dispossession. Yet His home | will stand forever and is ready for you when you choose to enter it. |
| Tx:4.20 | I | will substitute for your ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A |
| Tx:4.27 | is not at all surprising. In fact it duplicates in many ways how he | will one day react to his real creations, which are as timeless as he |
| Tx:4.28 | the teacher of the ego.] When teaching is no longer necessary, you | will merely know God. Belief that there is another way is the |
| Tx:4.29 | necessarily conflicted, because all attitudes are ego-based. This | will not last. Be patient awhile and remember that the outcome is as |
| Tx:4.30 | the concepts involved. To the ego, to give anything implies that you | will do without it. When you associate giving with sacrifice, then, |
| Tx:4.35 | religiously ego-oriented believe that the Soul existed before and | will continue to exist afterwards, after a temporary lapse in ego |
| Tx:4.35 | a temporary lapse in ego life. Some actually believe that the Soul | will be punished for this lapse, even though in reality it could not |
| Tx:4.36 | one direction in which it can move. The direction which the mind | will take is always automatic, because it cannot but be dictated by |

| Tx:4.42 | your Soul will never be co-creators, but your Soul and your Creator | will always be. Be confident that your creations are as safe as you |
| Tx:4.43 | The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego | will not prevail against it. Amen. |
| Tx:4.44 | in moments of temptation. It is a Declaration of Independence. You | will find it very helpful if you understand it fully. |
| Tx:4.49 | self you have made. You project onto your own idea of yourself the | will to separate, which conflicts with the love you feel for what you |
| Tx:4.50 | Love | will enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but it |
| Tx:4.50 | which is so different from anything the ego can offer that you | will never recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here— |
| Tx:4.50 | never recover. The word “recover” is used quite literally here—you | will never be able to cover or hide again. It is necessary to repeat |
| Tx:4.51 | No force except your own | will is strong enough or worthy enough to guide you. In this you are |
| Tx:4.52 | step around it. Watch your minds for the scraps of meanness or you | will be unable to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father |
| Tx:4.52 | to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I | will love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what |
| Tx:4.52 | you and maintain complete respect for what you have made, but I | will neither honor it nor love it unless it is true. |
| Tx:4.53 | I | will never forsake you any more than God will, but I must wait as |
| Tx:4.53 | I will never forsake you any more than God | will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself. |
| Tx:4.53 | forsake yourself. Because I wait in love and not in impatience, you | will surely ask me truly. I will come in response to a single |
| Tx:4.53 | wait in love and not in impatience, you will surely ask me truly. I | will come in response to a single unequivocal call. Watch carefully |
| Tx:4.53 | about this, for we must hide nothing from each other. If you | will really try to do this, you have taken the first step toward |
| Tx:4.53 | first step toward preparing your mind for the Holy One to enter. We | will prepare for this together, for once He has come, you will be |
| Tx:4.53 | enter. We will prepare for this together, for once He has come, you | will be ready to help me make other minds ready for Him. How long |
| Tx:4.53 | will be ready to help me make other minds ready for Him. How long | will you deny Him His Kingdom? |
| Tx:4.62 | you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary dispiriting, you | will see how your mind can focus and rise above fatigue and heal. Yet |
| Tx:4.64 | away and releasing the strength of God into everything you think and | will and do. Do not settle for anything less than this, and refuse to |

| Tx:4.67 | confused to recognize your own hope. I was not mistaken. Your minds | will elect to join with mine, and together we are invincible. |
| Tx:4.68 | You | will yet come together in my name, and your sanity will be restored. |
| Tx:4.68 | You will yet come together in my name, and your sanity | will be restored. I raised the dead by knowing that life is an |
| Tx:4.68 | an order of difficulty in miracles; you do. I have called, and you | will answer. I know that miracles are natural because they are |
| Tx:4.74 | many of the things you want to learn are chosen because their value | will not last. The ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself |
| Tx:4.78 | What is the purpose? Whatever it is, you cannot doubt that it | will channelize your efforts automatically. When you make a decision |
| Tx:4.78 | you have made a decision about your future effort, a decision which | will remain in effect unless you change the decision. |
| Tx:4.82 | is a constant state. It is as true now as it ever was or ever | will be because it implies no change at all. It is not a continuum |
| Tx:4.84 | is ego-directed. We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you | will regard yourselves as necessarily conflicted as long as you are |
| Tx:4.85 | life has continued without interruption and has been and always | will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate. The ratio |
| Tx:4.86 | it forever. You have very little trust in me as yet, but it | will increase as you turn more and more often to me instead of your |
| Tx:4.86 | and more often to me instead of your egos for guidance. The results | will convince you increasingly that your choice in turning to me is |
| Tx:4.89 | My trust in you is greater than yours in me at the moment, but it | will not always be that way. Your mission is very simple. You have |
| Tx:4.89 | my trust and always approves my Atonement decisions because my | will is never out of accord with His. I have told you before that I |
| Tx:4.89 | men. My chosen receiving and sending channels cannot fail because I | will lend them my strength as long as theirs is wanting. |
| Tx:4.90 | I | will go with you to the Holy One, and through my perception, He can |
| Tx:4.90 | little gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I | will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to |
| Tx:4.91 | the Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me. God | will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn |
| Tx:4.91 | are disengaging themselves from me. God will come to you only as you | will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be |
| Tx:4.91 | as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you | will be ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the |
| Tx:4.93 | yourselves the other way around. A far greater reward, however, | will break through any conditioning if it is repeatedly offered |
| Tx:4.95 | communication is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it | will disrupt communication when it experiences threat. While this is |
| Tx:4.95 | which must be disrupted, the response of breaking communication | will nevertheless be to a specific person or persons. |
| Tx:4.96 | kind of generalization which is really not abstract at all. It | will respond in certain specific ways to all stimuli which it |
| Tx:4.97 | This communication is the | Will of God. Creation and communication are synonymous. God created |
| Tx:4.97 | it forever as a channel for the reception of His Mind and | Will. Since only beings of a like order can truly communicate, His |
| Tx:4.102 | can hurt them. Their helpfulness is their praise of God, and He | will return their praise of Him because they are like Him, and they |
| Tx:4.102 | whom I direct until we are all united in the joy of the Kingdom. I | will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful and to whoever |
| Tx:4.104 | natural impulse to help, placing you under the strain of divided | will. You may then be tempted to withdraw to allow your ego to |
| Tx:4.106 | have to worry about what to say or what to do because He Who sent me | will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He |
| Tx:4.106 | content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I | will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal. |
| Tx:5.6 | If you think about it, you | will see that, while this kind of thinking is totally alien to having |
| Tx:5.10 | apart from the Father and from the Son. I myself said, “If I go I | will send you another comforter, and He will abide with you.” The |
| Tx:5.10 | I myself said, “If I go I will send you another comforter, and He | will abide with you.” The Holy Spirit is a difficult concept to grasp |
| Tx:5.17 | it to what the Children of God were before healing was needed and | will be when they have been healed. This alteration of the time |
| Tx:5.17 | The Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the | will to heal the separation by letting it go. This will is in you, |
| Tx:5.17 | the will to heal the separation by letting it go. This | will is in you, because God placed it in your mind, and although you |
| Tx:5.18 | God Himself keeps this | will alive by transmitting it from His Mind to yours as long as there |
| Tx:5.18 | and partly yours. The miracle itself is just this fusion or union of | will between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He |
| Tx:5.19 | His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and | will be again. |
| Tx:5.20 | the Atonement is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there | will be no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy |
| Tx:5.20 | no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit | will remain with the Sons of God to bless their creations and keep |
| Tx:5.21 | Before the separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you | will know again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide |
| Tx:5.22 | was broken because you had made another voice through another | will. The Holy Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You |
| Tx:5.22 | there are choices which you must make. In the holy state, the | will is free in the sense that its creative power is unlimited, but |
| Tx:5.23 | to create, but its application is different. Choosing means divided | will. The Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you |
| Tx:5.23 | Him. The voice they put in their minds was not the voice of His | Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger |
| Tx:5.26 | The Holy Spirit is the way in which God's | Will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth |
| Tx:5.26 | Heaven and earth are in you, because the call of both is in your | will and therefore in your mind. The Voice for God comes from your |
| Tx:5.26 | has given you the two voices, and you must choose at which altar you | will to serve. The call you answer now is an evaluation because it is |
| Tx:5.27 | My mind | will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It was |
| Tx:5.27 | gift to you is to help you make the same decision for yourself. The | will for this decision is the will to share it, because the decision |
| Tx:5.27 | the same decision for yourself. The will for this decision is the | will to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to |
| Tx:5.27 | of the models you value and choose to follow in determining what you | will to learn. I am your model for decision. By deciding for God, I |
| Tx:5.28 | task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone | will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as |
| Tx:5.30 | law that behavior is a response to motivation, and motivation is | will. I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond |
| Tx:5.30 | to the same mind to do this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose | will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model |
| Tx:5.34 | perceiving him. See him through the Holy Spirit in his mind, and you | will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in your brother you |
| Tx:5.35 | weak in itself, but it is limited by your unwillingness to hear it. | Will itself is an idea and is therefore strengthened by being shared. |
| Tx:5.35 | of looking for the Holy Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations | will frighten you because by adopting the ego's viewpoint you are |
| Tx:5.39 | ego becomes strong in strife. If you believe there is strife, you | will react viciously because the idea of danger has entered your |
| Tx:5.40 | be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the idea | will be strengthened in the mind of the giver. |
| Tx:5.41 | can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter to his | will because part of his will is still for God. Despite the ego's |
| Tx:5.41 | learner without going counter to his will because part of his | will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to conceal this |
| Tx:5.46 | fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the Holy Spirit | will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you perceive as |
| Tx:5.50 | You cannot cancel out your past errors alone. They | will not disappear from your mind without remedy. The remedy is not |
| Tx:5.51 | by the ego, so we can clarify an earlier point. We said that you | will one day teach as much as you learn and that will keep you in |
| Tx:5.51 | We said that you will one day teach as much as you learn and that | will keep you in balance. The time is now because you have let it be |
| Tx:5.52 | I could not atone for myself alone. Listening to one voice means the | will to share the voice in order to hear it yourself. The mind that |
| Tx:5.55 | you join it and give it away. As you teach, so shall you learn. I | will never leave you or forsake you, because to forsake you would be |
| Tx:5.55 | forsake you would be to forsake myself and God who created me. You | will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of your brothers. |
| Tx:5.56 | have been sufficiently purified, He lets you give them away. The | will to share them is their purification. |
| Tx:5.57 | long as any of God's ideas withhold it from the Kingdom. The joint | will of all the Sonship is the only creator that can create like the |
| Tx:5.59 | Perhaps some of our concepts | will become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use |
| Tx:5.61 | perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your ego, you | will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The ego is quite |
| Tx:5.61 | Whenever you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt and you | will fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful thought. |
| Tx:5.63 | is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. Perverted thinking | will always be attended with guilt because it is the belief in sin. |
| Tx:5.64 | the ego's survival, because as soon as you regard sin as a lack you | will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you will |
| Tx:5.64 | lack you will automatically attempt to remedy the situation. And you | will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but you must learn to |
| Tx:5.65 | of magical solution. The ego believes that by punishing itself it | will mitigate the punishment of God. Yet even in this it is arrogant. |
| Tx:5.66 | is a judgment which is anything but ineffectual. Its effects | will follow automatically until the decision is changed. This is |
| Tx:5.70 | The continuing | will to remain separated is the only possible reason for continuing |
| Tx:5.70 | results of this decision at that time. Any decision of the mind | will affect both behavior and experience. What you will, you expect. |
| Tx:5.70 | of the mind will affect both behavior and experience. What you | will, you expect. This is not delusional. Your mind does create your |
| Tx:5.70 | to full creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It | will also turn back to full creation the instant it has done so. |
| Tx:5.72 | of future retaliation or abandonment and thus ensure that the future | will remain like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it |
| Tx:5.72 | of eternity in exchange. When you choose to make this exchange, you | will simultaneously exchange guilt for joy, viciousness for love, and |
| Tx:5.72 | for love, and pain for peace. My role is only to unchain your | will and make it free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom and will |
| Tx:5.72 | your will and make it free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom and | will oppose your free decision at every possible moment and in every |
| Tx:5.75 | Another is “Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord.” Still another is “I | will visit the sins of the father unto the third and fourth |
| Tx:5.75 | also “The wicked shall perish.” There are many others, but if you | will let the Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they |
| Tx:5.75 | will let the Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they | will suffice. |
| Tx:5.76 | reap” merely means that what you believe to be worth cultivating you | will cultivate in yourself. Your judgment of what is worthy makes it |
| Tx:5.76 | cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the Holy Spirit, who | will undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is |
| Tx:5.77 | “I | will visit the sins of the fathers unto the third and fourth |
| Tx:5.78 | The ego | will not be destroyed because it is part of your thought, but because |
| Tx:5.78 | thought, but because it is uncreative and therefore unsharing, it | will be reinterpreted entirely to release you from fear. The part of |
| Tx:5.78 | from fear. The part of your thought which you have given to the ego | will merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. The |
| Tx:5.79 | “where you look to find yourself is up to you.” The Higher Court | will not condemn you. It will merely dismiss the case against you. |
| Tx:5.79 | yourself is up to you.” The Higher Court will not condemn you. It | will merely dismiss the case against you. There can be no case |
| Tx:5.80 | Court, because it speaks for Him and therefore speaks truly. It | will dismiss the case against you, however carefully you have built |
| Tx:5.80 | case may be foolproof, but it is not God-proof. The Voice for God | will not hear it at all because He can only witness truly. His |
| Tx:5.80 | not hear it at all because He can only witness truly. His verdict | will always be “Thine is the Kingdom” because He was given you to |
| Tx:5.81 | of God worth patience? I have shown you infinite patience because my | will is that of our Father, from Whom I learned of infinite patience. |
| Tx:5.82 | We have repeatedly said that time is a learning device which | will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The Holy Spirit, Who |
| Tx:5.83 | also in this course under many different terms. For example, “God | will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (or set) on Him,” |
| Tx:5.89 | your creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that you | will never overcome it. The reason is perfectly clear. The fixation |
| Tx:5.90 | care. You cannot choose to escape His care because that is not His | Will, but you can choose to accept His care and use the infinite |
| Tx:5.91 | it. He asks you only for what He gave, knowing that this giving | will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your brothers |
| Tx:5.93 | for everything you have made which is not in accord with His holy | Will. I have made His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also |
| Tx:5.94 | this implies guilt. If you allow yourself to feel guilty, you | will reinforce the error rather than allow it to be undone for you. |
| Tx:5.95 | following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit | will respond fully to your slightest invitation: |
| Tx:5.96 | I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise. I | will to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace. I do not |
| Tx:5.96 | I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit | will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let |
| Tx:5.96 | Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I | will let Him. I will to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God |
| Tx:5.96 | undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him. I | will to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for Me. |
| Tx:6.5 | it has a definite contribution to make to your own lives, and if you | will consider it without fear, it will help you understand your own |

| Tx:6.8 | of attack and one which I do want to share with you. If you | will believe it, you will help me to teach it. |
| Tx:6.8 | one which I do want to share with you. If you will believe it, you | will help me to teach it. |
| Tx:6.10 | not teach that there is. Remember always that what you believe you | will teach. Believe with me, and we will become equal as teachers. |
| Tx:6.10 | always that what you believe you will teach. Believe with me, and we | will become equal as teachers. Your resurrection is your reawakening. |
| Tx:6.10 | Kingdom of God, but first believe that it is true for you, or you | will teach amiss. |
| Tx:6.15 | to give in to anger and assault would not be so extreme. I | will with God that none of His Sons should suffer. |
| Tx:6.16 | link between God the Father and His separated Sons. If you | will listen to His Voice, you will know that you cannot either hurt |
| Tx:6.16 | Father and His separated Sons. If you will listen to His Voice, you | will know that you cannot either hurt or be hurt and that many need |
| Tx:6.16 | perceive only this need in them and do not respond to any other, you | will have learned of me and will be as eager to share your learning |
| Tx:6.16 | and do not respond to any other, you will have learned of me and | will be as eager to share your learning as I am. The crucifixion |
| Tx:6.24 | you are afraid of what you are, you do not appreciate it and | will therefore reject it. As a result, you will teach rejection. The |
| Tx:6.24 | do not appreciate it and will therefore reject it. As a result, you | will teach rejection. The power of the Sons of God is operating all |
| Tx:6.25 | Any split in | will must involve a rejection of part of it, and this is the belief |
| Tx:6.27 | Projection | will always hurt you. It reinforces your belief in your own split |
| Tx:6.31 | you to use perception in a way that parallels knowledge, you | will ultimately meet it and know it. The ego would prefer to believe |
| Tx:6.31 | in the future if time and space are one dimension. Your perception | will end where it began. Everything meets in God, because everything |
| Tx:6.40 | Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and never | will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and |
| Tx:6.41 | is one. Only by teaching it can you learn it. “As you teach, so | will you learn.” If that is true, and it is true indeed, you must |
| Tx:6.43 | in this. Teach attack in any form, and you have learned it, and it | will hurt you. Yet your learning is not immortal, and you can unlearn |
| Tx:6.43 | the exact opposite of everything the ego believes. This is how you | will learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as |
| Tx:6.43 | 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 you. The |
| Tx:6.45 | moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit | will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer need His |
| Tx:6.48 | is attack and wants you to believe it. Unless you do believe it you | will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies |
| Tx:6.48 | frankly based on separation. If you side with this alliance, you | will be afraid, because you are siding with an alliance of fear. |
| Tx:6.50 | dreams, but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There | will be nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you |
| Tx:6.50 | will be nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you | will be awake. Your dreams have contained many of the ego's symbols, |
| Tx:6.50 | only because 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 |
| Tx:6.50 | you awake, you will see the truth around you and in you, and you | will no longer believe in dreams because they will have no reality |
| Tx:6.50 | and in you, and you will no longer believe in dreams because they | will have no reality for you. |
| Tx:6.51 | Yet the Kingdom and all that you have created there | will have great reality for you, because they are beautiful and true. |
| Tx:6.53 | to find it and a means to keep it. You have a model to follow who | will strengthen your command and never detract from it in any way. |
| Tx:6.58 | you wake children better and more kindly than by a gentle Voice that | will not frighten them but will merely remind them that the night is |
| Tx:6.58 | more kindly than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten them but | will merely remind them that the night is over and the light has |
| Tx:6.58 | recognize the difference between sleeping and waking, so that they | will understand they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad |
| Tx:6.58 | they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they | will call on the light themselves to dispel them. |
| Tx:6.59 | it might hurt you and make you unsafe, but if you do that you | will escape from harm and be safe, and then you will not be afraid.” |
| Tx:6.59 | if you do that you will escape from harm and be safe, and then you | will not be afraid.” All of this could be included in only three |
| Tx:6.61 | When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you | will know that you will last forever. Many think this is accomplished |
| Tx:6.61 | body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you | will last forever. Many think this is accomplished through death, but |
| Tx:6.61 | all. Like any other impossible solution which the ego attempts, it | will not work. |
| Tx:6.69 | towards its resolution. Having taken the first step, however, they | will be helped. Once they have chosen what they cannot complete |
| Tx:6.71 | from it. All good teachers realize that only fundamental change | will last, but they do not begin at that level. Strengthening |
| Tx:6.72 | This is because a change in motivation is a change of mind, and this | will inevitably produce fundamental change, because the mind is |
| Tx:6.74 | more so than is any other product of thought. The fundamental change | will still occur with the change of mind in the thinker. Meanwhile, |
| Tx:6.75 | peace of mind is impossible. If you teach both, which you | will surely do as long as you accept both, you are teaching conflict |
| Tx:6.81 | As you take this step and hold this direction, you | will be pushing toward the center of your thought system where the |
| Tx:6.81 | the center of your thought system where the fundamental change | will occur. You are only beginning this step now, but you have |
| Tx:6.81 | is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the Holy Spirit | will lead you on. |
| Tx:6.87 | although it does not deny that the temptation to make exceptions | will occur. Here, then, your consistency is called on despite chaos. |
| Tx:6.88 | can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy Spirit | will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not choose at all. |
| Tx:6.88 | be able to teach you that you need not choose at all. This | will finally liberate your will from choice and direct it towards |
| Tx:6.88 | you that you need not choose at all. This will finally liberate your | will from choice and direct it towards creation within the Kingdom. |
| Tx:6.88 | creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the Holy Spirit | will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are, but this is |
| Tx:6.89 | you are teaching peace because you believe in it. The final step | will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the Holy |
| Tx:6.92 | hold its oneness in your minds because, if you let doubt enter, you | will lose awareness of its wholeness and will be unable to teach it. |
| Tx:6.92 | if you let doubt enter, you will lose awareness of its wholeness and | will be unable to teach it. |
| Tx:6.94 | of your mind outside it. What you have made has thus divided your | will and given you a sick mind which must be healed. Your vigilance |
| Tx:6.94 | was required of me as much as of you, but remember that those who | will to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what they |
| Tx:6.95 | but I also told you that the third one follows it. The Holy Spirit | will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your vigilance is the |
| Tx:7.4 | not bargain. To bargain is to limit giving, and this is not God's | Will. To will with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His |
| Tx:7.4 | To bargain is to limit giving, and this is not God's Will. To | will with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in |
| Tx:7.7 | said to] take was therefore true in the beginning, is true now, and | will be true forever. |
| Tx:7.8 | it was never hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His | Will to share it. How can what is fully shared be withheld and then |
| Tx:7.12 | Those who are against freedom believe that its outcome | will hurt them, which cannot be true. But those who are for freedom, |
| Tx:7.12 | Whenever anyone can listen fairly to both sides of any issue, he | will make the right decision. This is because he has the answer. |
| Tx:7.14 | learning is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that you | will learn what you are from what you have projected onto others and |
| Tx:7.15 | because conflicted minds cannot be faithful to one meaning and | will therefore change the meaning to preserve the form. |
| Tx:7.17 | remembering consistent. You forget in order to remember better. You | will not understand His translations while you listen to two ways of |
| Tx:7.20 | the subject would not do anything. Given variable motivation, he | will do something, but you cannot understand what it is. |
| Tx:7.21 | thing is certain—abilities are potentials for learning, and you | will apply them to what you want to learn. Learning is effort, and |
| Tx:7.21 | them to what you want to learn. Learning is effort, and effort means | will. We have used the term “abilities” in the plural, because |
| Tx:7.24 | That is why you | will be able to perform all aspects of your work with ease when you |
| Tx:7.32 | already is. Like inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and | will be whenever it is undertaken as separate from what already is |
| Tx:7.34 | because every part of creation is of one order. This is God's | Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:7.37 | To oppose the pull or the | Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The ego believes |
| Tx:7.40 | act in accordance with what you do not believe. To do this, however, | will weaken you as teachers and learners because, as has been |
| Tx:7.40 | emphasized, you teach what you do believe. An inconsistent lesson | will be poorly taught and poorly learned. If you teach both sickness |
| Tx:7.44 | Him always works. Unless the healer always heals by Him, the results | will vary. Yet healing itself is consistence since only consistence |
| Tx:7.49 | or better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you | will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you will love, |
| Tx:7.49 | which you will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you | will love, because you will understand it. Understanding is |
| Tx:7.49 | The other shows you only truth, which you will love, because you | will understand it. Understanding is appreciation, because what you |
| Tx:7.52 | share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly, they | will be healed. Let your mind shine with mine upon their minds and by |
| Tx:7.53 | This light | will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is |
| Tx:7.53 | on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He | will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable |
| Tx:7.54 | impossible, however, for you to see something in part of it that you | will not attribute to all of it. That is why attack is never discrete |
| Tx:7.54 | whether the ego or the Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they | will return to the mind of the thinker, and they will affect his |
| Tx:7.54 | them, but they will return to the mind of the thinker, and they | will affect his total perception. That includes his perception of |
| Tx:7.54 | includes his perception of God, of His creations, and of his own. He | will not appreciate any of them if he regards them fearfully. He will |
| Tx:7.54 | He will not appreciate any of them if he regards them fearfully. He | will appreciate all of them if he regards them with love. |
| Tx:7.55 | is not of your making. Your ability to direct your thinking as you | will is part of its power. If you do not believe you can do this, you |
| Tx:7.57 | ensures its continuance if you side with it by guaranteeing that you | will not know your own safety. The ego cannot afford to know |
| Tx:7.59 | make illusions, but it does follow that if it makes illusions it | will believe in them, because that is how it made them. |
| Tx:7.61 | If you | will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be |
| Tx:7.65 | of God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this | will obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to |
| Tx:7.65 | accept which is apart from this will obscure God's Voice in you and | will therefore obscure God to you. Unless you perceive His creation |
| Tx:7.67 | judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you want something else, you | will make something else, but because it is something else, it will |
| Tx:7.67 | you will make something else, but because it is something else, it | will attack your thought system and divide your allegiance. You |
| Tx:7.68 | God and are therefore depriving yourselves of joy. This is not God's | Will but yours. If your will is out of accord with God's, you are |
| Tx:7.68 | yourselves of joy. This is not God's Will but yours. If your | will is out of accord with God's, you are willing without meaning. |
| Tx:7.68 | with God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet because God's | Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of will is possible. This is |
| Tx:7.68 | meaning. Yet because God's Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of | will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent |
| Tx:7.69 | Creation, not separation, is your | will because it is God's, and nothing that opposes this means |
| Tx:7.70 | Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother, you | will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as love. It is |
| Tx:7.71 | positively as it is of being used destructively. Used negatively it | will be destructive because it will be used for attack, but in the |
| Tx:7.71 | destructively. Used negatively it will be destructive because it | will be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, [the |
| Tx:7.71 | all of it. Mind is too powerful to be subject to exclusion. You | will never be able to exclude yourself from what you project. |
| Tx:7.73 | you would not want to be. Your brother is the mirror in which you | will see the image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And |
| Tx:7.73 | the image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And perception | will last until the Sonship knows itself as whole. |
| Tx:7.74 | it must last as long as you want it. Illusions are investments. They | will last as long as you value them. Values are relative, but they |
| Tx:7.74 | dispel illusions is to withdraw all investment from them, and they | will have no life for you, because you have put them out of your |
| Tx:7.75 | All confusion comes from not extending life, since that is not the | Will of your Creator. You can do nothing apart from Him, and you do |
| Tx:7.77 | brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you | will perceive yourself as lacking. |
| Tx:7.79 | another, this is what he believes. Projection always sees your | will in others. If you will to separate yourself from God, that is |
| Tx:7.79 | what he believes. Projection always sees your will in others. If you | will to separate yourself from God, that is what you will think |
| Tx:7.79 | others. If you will to separate yourself from God, that is what you | will think others are doing to you. |
| Tx:7.80 | You are the | Will of God. Do not accept anything else as your will, or you are |
| Tx:7.80 | You are the Will of God. Do not accept anything else as your | will, or you are denying what you are. Deny this and you will attack, |
| Tx:7.80 | as your will, or you are denying what you are. Deny this and you | will attack, believing you have been attacked. But see the love of |
| Tx:7.80 | you have been attacked. But see the love of God in you, and you | will see it everywhere, because it is everywhere. See His abundance |
| Tx:7.80 | because it is everywhere. See His abundance in everyone, and you | will know that you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as you |
| Tx:7.81 | real, wholly perfect, and wholly desirable. Wanting this only, you | will have this only, and giving this only, you will be only this. The |
| Tx:7.81 | this only, you will have this only, and giving this only, you | will be only this. The gifts you offer to the ego are always |
| Tx:7.81 | but the gifts you offer to the Kingdom are gifts to you. They | will always be treasured by God, because they belong to His beloved |
| Tx:7.83 | is up to you, but it is not up to you to decide whether or not you | will utilize projection. Every mind must project, because that is how |
| Tx:7.84 | it does not want you to find conflict so intolerable that you | will insist on giving it up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade you |
| Tx:7.86 | for their own safety. They are afraid that their projections | will return and hurt them. They do believe they have blotted their |
| Tx:7.88 | the responsibility for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you | will preserve the belief. When you are willing to accept sole |
| Tx:7.88 | to accept sole responsibility for the ego's existence yourself, you | will have laid aside all anger and all attack, because they come from |
| Tx:7.88 | to the Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects | will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a whole. |
| Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit | will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond |
| Tx:7.90 | of this course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and | will forever be unbelievable. You who made the ego by believing the |
| Tx:7.93 | to share its being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its | will is to create. It does not wish to contain God but to extend His |
| Tx:7.95 | knows of them and can bring them into your awareness whenever you | will let Him. They are there as part of your own being, because your |
| Tx:7.96 | and thus have not failed to secure it for yourselves. If it was the | Will of God to give it to you, He gave it forever. If it was His Will |
| Tx:7.96 | the Will of God to give it to you, He gave it forever. If it was His | Will that you have it forever, He gave you the means for keeping it, |
| Tx:7.96 | you the means for keeping it, and you have done so. Disobeying God's | Will is meaningful only to the insane. In truth it is impossible. |
| Tx:7.99 | mind. Whatever these beliefs may be, they are the premises which | will determine what you accept into your mind. It is surely clear |
| Tx:7.100 | truth has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's | Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as |
| Tx:7.100 | to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. Share His | Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you |
| Tx:7.100 | is God's Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His | Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy |
| Tx:7.100 | as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy Spirit | will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of pain must |
| Tx:7.101 | to the ego and, as long as you are in doubt about what you are, you | will be confused about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of |
| Tx:7.101 | cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you | will be giving up the ego. But you will be sacrificing nothing. On |
| Tx:7.101 | Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you | will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining |
| Tx:7.101 | the ego. But you will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you | will be gaining everything. If you believed this, there would be no |
| Tx:7.102 | is not obvious to you. You believe that doing the opposite of God's | Will can be better for you. You also believe that it is possible to |
| Tx:7.102 | You also believe that it is possible to do the opposite of God's | Will. Therefore, you believe that an impossible choice is open to you |
| Tx:7.102 | fearful and very desirable. Yet God wills. He does not wish. Your | will is as powerful as His because it is His. The ego's wishes do not |
| Tx:7.102 | for the impossible. You can wish for the impossible, but you can | will only with God. This is the ego's weakness and your strength. |
| Tx:7.104 | you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond question. It | will always remain beyond question, however much you may question it. |
| Tx:7.105 | We said before that you are the | Will of God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification |
| Tx:7.105 | We said before that you are the Will of God. His | Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His Will is |
| Tx:7.105 | God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His | Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His Will with |
| Tx:7.105 | with His Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His | Will with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. |
| Tx:7.105 | Everything has been given you by God's decision. That is His | Will, and you can not undo it. Even the relinquishment of your false |
| Tx:7.105 | is not accomplished by your wish. It was accomplished for you by the | Will of God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice will teach |
| Tx:7.105 | you 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 |
| Tx:7.105 | His Voice will teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and | will lead you out of the confusion which you have made. There is no |
| Tx:7.105 | have made. There is no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose | will must be the Will of the Father, because the Father's Will is His |
| Tx:7.105 | is no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose will must be the | Will of the Father, because the Father's Will is His Son. |
| Tx:7.105 | God whose will must be the Will of the Father, because the Father's | Will is His Son. |
| Tx:7.106 | Miracles are in accord with the | Will of God Whose Will you do not know, because you are confused |
| Tx:7.106 | Miracles are in accord with the Will of God Whose | Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you will. |
| Tx:7.106 | Whose Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you | will. This means that you are confused about what you are. If you are |
| Tx:7.106 | means that you are confused about what you are. If you are God's | Will and do not accept His Will[, you can only be not accepting what |
| Tx:7.107 | The Holy Spirit | will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is His |
| Tx:7.107 | will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is His | Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God which is |
| Tx:7.107 | to yourselves that there is no order of difficulty in miracles, you | will convince yourselves that in your natural state there is no |
| Tx:7.108 | he knows he is with God. That is the only environment in which he | will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. It is |
| Tx:7.113 | He created to know what they have shared. Without your Father, you | will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God includes all His |
| Tx:7.113 | Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you | will know all creation. |
| Tx:8.2 | Knowledge | will be restored when you meet its conditions. This is not a bargain |
| Tx:8.2 | It is merely the result of your misuse of His laws on behalf of a | will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His |
| Tx:8.2 | of His laws on behalf of a will that is not His. Knowledge is His | Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have knowledge? I |
| Tx:8.2 | will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His | Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge |
| Tx:8.3 | to you. If you do not want them on the basis of loss of peace, they | will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the ego is |
| Tx:8.7 | reality is unaffected by both, but if you listen to both, your mind | will be split about what your reality is. |
| Tx:8.9 | what you have. When you are taught against your nature, however, you | will lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you. |
| Tx:8.9 | however, you will lose by your learning because your learning | will imprison you. Your will is in your nature and therefore cannot |
| Tx:8.9 | lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you. Your | will is in your nature and therefore cannot go against it. |
| Tx:8.10 | The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your | will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your will |
| Tx:8.10 | cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because you | will not listen to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because |
| Tx:8.10 | your will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your | will to be imprisoned, because your will is free. That is why the ego |
| Tx:8.10 | not listen to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because your | will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is |
| Tx:8.10 | because your will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free | will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His Will with |
| Tx:8.10 | of free will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His | Will with you. His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the |
| Tx:8.10 | you because He shares His Will with you. His Voice teaches only His | Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what |
| Tx:8.10 | lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that your | will and God's cannot be out of accord, because they are one. This is |
| Tx:8.11 | The ego wants to teach you that you want to oppose God's | Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to |
| Tx:8.11 | it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you afraid of your | will because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of |
| Tx:8.11 | because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the | will of a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the |
| Tx:8.11 | any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing that the | will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy Spirit leads you steadily |
| Tx:8.13 | Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not God's | Will to be without you. When you have learned that your will is |
| Tx:8.13 | is not God's Will to be without you. When you have learned that your | will is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could |
| Tx:8.13 | When you have learned that your will is God's, you could no more | will to be without Him than He could will to be without you. This is |
| Tx:8.13 | is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could | will to be without you. This is freedom and this is joy. Deny |
| Tx:8.14 | The | Will of God is without limit, and all power and glory lie within it. |
| Tx:8.14 | By creating all things, it made them part of itself. You are the | Will of God, because this is how you were created. Because your |
| Tx:8.16 | that you are light. If you want understanding and enlightenment, you | will learn it, because your will to learn it is your decision to |
| Tx:8.16 | understanding and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your | will to learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who knows |
| Tx:8.16 | because 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 |
| Tx:8.16 | no limit on His Will to teach, because He was created [by unlimited | Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He wills to |
| Tx:8.17 | To fulfill the | Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully |
| Tx:8.17 | there is no other experience. Yet the wish for other experience | will block its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced |
| Tx:8.17 | for other experience will block its accomplishment, because God's | Will cannot be forced upon you, being an experience of total |
| Tx:8.17 | 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 and glory |
| Tx:8.17 | Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release your | will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory and establishing |
| Tx:8.18 | The | will of Father and of the Son are one together by their extension. |
| Tx:8.18 | their oneness, holding their unity together by extending their joint | will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly created in union with |
| Tx:8.18 | upon it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you | will know what it means of God Himself. |
| Tx:8.19 | meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you | will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you |
| Tx:8.19 | As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you | will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. |
| Tx:8.19 | As you 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:8.19 | him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you | will find yourself or lose sight of yourself. Whenever two Sons of |
| Tx:8.21 | are learning what you are because you are teaching what you are. He | will respond either with pain or with joy, depending on which teacher |
| Tx:8.21 | pain or with joy, depending on which teacher you are following. He | will be imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so |
| Tx:8.21 | He will be imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so | will you. Never forget your responsibility to him, because it is your |
| Tx:8.21 | to yourself. Give him his place in the Kingdom, and you | will have yours. The Kingdom cannot be found alone, and you who are |
| Tx:8.22 | because it does not know anything. But you can know this, and you | will know it if you are willing to look at what the ego has made of |
| Tx:8.22 | is your responsibility, because once you have really done this, you | will accept the Atonement for yourself. What other choice could you |
| Tx:8.22 | What other choice could you make? Having made this choice, you | will begin to learn and understand why you have believed that when |
| Tx:8.22 | was someone else. And every holy encounter in which you enter fully | will teach you this is not so. |
| Tx:8.23 | is in God and therefore in you. God wills no one suffer. He does not | will anyone to suffer for a wrong decision, including you. That is |
| Tx:8.24 | of 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 |
| 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 |
| Tx:8.25 | If God's | Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only |
| Tx:8.25 | you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His | Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you |
| Tx:8.25 | only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His | Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not |
| Tx:8.25 | you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you do, you | will feel lonely and helpless, because you are denying yourself |
| Tx:8.27 | and of Him Who sent me to you. You were in darkness until God's | Will was done completely by any part of the Sonship. When this was |
| Tx:8.27 | it be perfectly accomplished? My mission was simply to unite the | will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the |
| Tx:8.27 | My mission was simply to unite the will of the Sonship with the | Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's Will myself. This |
| Tx:8.27 | Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's | Will myself. This is the awareness I came to give you, and your |
| Tx:8.28 | Your reactions to me are the reactions of the world to God. If you | will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the world |
| Tx:8.28 | that I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting God. My | will is His, and your will to hear me is the decision to hear His |
| Tx:8.28 | are denying the world and accepting God. My will is His, and your | will to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His |
| Tx:8.28 | will to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His | Will. As God sent me to you, so will I send you to others, and I will |
| Tx:8.28 | to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. As God sent me to you, so | will I send you to others, and I will go to them with you so we can |
| Tx:8.28 | His Will. As God sent me to you, so will I send you to others, and I | will go to them with you so we can teach them [union and peace]. |
| Tx:8.29 | the world as much as you want to receive it? For unless you do, you | will not receive it. If you will to have it of me, you must give it. |
| Tx:8.29 | to receive it? For unless you do, you will not receive it. If you | will to have it of me, you must give it. Rehabilitation does not come |
| Tx:8.29 | it from within. The guidance must [become] what you want, or it | will be meaningless to you. That is why rehabilitation is a |
| Tx:8.30 | I can tell you what to do, but this | will not help you unless you collaborate by believing that I know |
| Tx:8.30 | you collaborate by believing that I know what to do. Only then | will your mind choose to follow me. Without your will, you cannot be |
| Tx:8.30 | to do. Only then will your mind choose to follow me. Without your | will, you cannot be rehabilitated. Motivation to be healed is the |
| Tx:8.30 | Without this you are deciding against healing, and your veto of my | will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint will, |
| Tx:8.30 | of my will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint | will, unless our wills are joined you cannot be healed. This is |
| Tx:8.31 | The | will to unite must be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or |
| Tx:8.31 | The will to unite must be unequivocal, or the | will itself is divided or not whole. Your will is the means by which |
| Tx:8.31 | be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or not whole. Your | will is the means by which you determine your own condition, because |
| Tx:8.31 | will is the means by which you determine your own condition, because | will is the mechanism of decision. It is the power by which you |
| Tx:8.31 | you separate or join and experience pain or joy accordingly. My | will cannot overcome yours, because yours is as powerful as mine. If |
| Tx:8.31 | of God would be unequal. All things are possible through our joint | will, but my will alone cannot help you. Your will is as free as |
| Tx:8.31 | be unequal. All things are possible through our joint will, but my | will alone cannot help you. Your will is as free as mine, and God |
| Tx:8.31 | through our joint will, but my will alone cannot help you. Your | will is as free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I |
| Tx:8.31 | as free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I cannot | will what God does not will. I can offer you my will to make yours |
| Tx:8.31 | God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what God does not | will. I can offer you my will to make yours invincible by this |
| Tx:8.31 | against it. I cannot will what God does not will. I can offer you my | will to make yours invincible by this sharing, but I cannot oppose |
| Tx:8.31 | oppose yours without competing with it and thereby violating God's | Will for you. |
| Tx:8.32 | Nothing God created can oppose your | will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its |
| Tx:8.32 | your will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your | will its power, which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you |
| Tx:8.32 | I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be like me, I | will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be |
| Tx:8.32 | help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be different, I | will wait until you change your mind. I can teach you, but only you |
| Tx:8.32 | of all God's Sons cannot be recognized through the dominion of one | will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the Will |
| Tx:8.32 | the dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are equal in | will, all being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I |
| Tx:8.32 | one will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the | Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to teach, |
| Tx:8.33 | When your | will is not mine, it is not our Father's. This means that you have |
| Tx:8.33 | without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself. I | will always remember you, and in my remembrance of you lies your |
| Tx:8.33 | you whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He | will share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally whatever |
| Tx:8.33 | it is acceptable to Him, it is the gift of freedom, which is His | Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you will be free. |
| Tx:8.33 | which is His Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you | will be free. |
| Tx:8.35 | not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional believe that truth | will assail them, and so they do not see it, because they prefer the |
| Tx:8.36 | Help them by offering them your unified | will on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on yours. Alone we |
| Tx:8.36 | beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the | Will of God is established in ours and as ours. This will is |
| Tx:8.36 | separate, the Will of God is established in ours and as ours. This | will is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided will of |
| Tx:8.36 | This will is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided | will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the |
| Tx:8.36 | is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose | Will it is. You cannot be exempt from it if you are to understand |
| Tx:8.36 | are to understand what it is and what you are. By separating your | will from mine, you are exempting yourself from the Will of God, |
| Tx:8.36 | separating your will from mine, you are exempting yourself from the | Will of God, which is yourself. |
| Tx:8.37 | of yourself. There is no separation of God and His creation. You | will learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your will |
| Tx:8.37 | You will learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your | will and mine. Let the love of God shine upon you by your acceptance |
| Tx:8.37 | your acceptance of me. My reality is yours and His. By joining your | will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the Will of |
| Tx:8.37 | your will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the | Will of God is one. |
| Tx:8.38 | them because they are united. The miracles we do bear witness to the | Will of the Father for His Son and to our joy in uniting with His |
| Tx:8.38 | Will of the Father for His Son and to our joy in uniting with His | Will for us. |
| Tx:8.39 | wills, because nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the | Will of God for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you will |
| Tx:8.39 | the Will of God for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you | will find it. I will deny you nothing, as God denies me nothing. |
| Tx:8.39 | for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you will find it. I | will deny you nothing, as God denies me nothing. |
| Tx:8.40 | companion instead of the ego. Do not try to hold on to both, or you | will try to go in different directions and will lose the way. |
| Tx:8.40 | hold on to both, or you will try to go in different directions and | will lose the way. |
| Tx:8.41 | therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My | will will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you will. I |
| Tx:8.41 | for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My will | will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you will. I give |
| Tx:8.41 | ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you | will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you as much as |
| Tx:8.42 | We are the joint | will of the Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey |
| Tx:8.42 | and add their strength to us. God's welcome waits for us all, and He | will welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God |
| Tx:8.43 | If it were, you would have destroyed yourselves. Yet God did not | will the destruction of His creations, having created them for |
| Tx:8.43 | destruction of His creations, having created them for eternity. His | Will has saved you, not from yourselves, but from your illusions of |
| Tx:8.47 | Your function is to add to God's treasure by creating yours. His | Will to you is His Will for you. He would not withhold creation from |
| Tx:8.47 | to add to God's treasure by creating yours. His Will to you is His | Will for you. He would not withhold creation from you, because His |
| Tx:8.47 | one can know his function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the | Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not |
| Tx:8.47 | function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His | Will created you to create. Your will was not created separate from |
| Tx:8.47 | Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your | will was not created separate from His, and so it wills as He wills. |
| Tx:8.48 | way that has no meaning at all.] When you think you are unwilling to | will with God, you are not thinking. God's Will is thought. It cannot |
| Tx:8.48 | you 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:8.49 | one you should ever ask of yourself: “Do I want to know my Father's | Will for me?” He will not hide it. He has revealed it to me, because |
| Tx:8.49 | ask of yourself: “Do I want to know my Father's Will for me?” He | will not hide it. He has revealed it to me, because I asked it of Him |
| Tx:8.49 | any of us alone. God would not have us be alone, because He does not | will to be alone. That is why He created His Son and gave him the |
| Tx:8.51 | experience is of God. Together we can meet its conditions, but truth | will dawn upon you of itself. |
| Tx:8.52 | What God has willed for you is yours. He has given His | Will to His treasure, whose treasure it is. Your heart lies where |
| Tx:8.52 | of God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the holy | will of all those who are as blessed as you are. |
| Tx:8.53 | have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself with a body, you | will always experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of |
| Tx:8.54 | uniting them with yours and mine. This interpretation of the body | will change your mind entirely about its value. Of itself it has none. |
| Tx:8.55 | are bodies and teach them through the body that this is not so, you | will begin to understand the power of the mind that is in both of |
| Tx:8.56 | to the use to which it is put. And in the body of another you | will see the use to which you have put yours. If the body becomes for |
| Tx:8.56 | to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you | will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use it for |
| Tx:8.56 | anything physical except as what it is. Use it for truth, and you | will see it truly. Misuse it, and you will misunderstand it, because |
| Tx:8.56 | is. Use it for truth, and you will see it truly. Misuse it, and you | will misunderstand it, because you have already done so by misusing |
| Tx:8.56 | misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy Spirit, and you | will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and attack and loss of |
| Tx:8.56 | anything apart from the Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This | will lead you to hatred and attack and loss of peace. |
| Tx:8.58 | and glory for you, with which you can perfectly accomplish His holy | will for you when you so will it yourself. He has not withdrawn His |
| Tx:8.58 | which you can perfectly accomplish His holy will for you when you so | will it yourself. He has not withdrawn His gifts from you, but you |
| Tx:8.63 | body but not in it. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it | will distort its perception of the body and, by blocking its own |
| Tx:8.63 | perception of the body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it, | will induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the body as a |
| Tx:8.63 | but foster illness because it is not true. A medium of communication | will lose its usefulness if it is used for anything else. To use a |
| Tx:8.68 | is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you | will open your mind to creation in God. |
| Tx:8.71 | forced to shift from one end to another without ceasing, so that you | will continue to hope that it can yet offer you something. |
| Tx:8.75 | end. The ego, however, establishes it as an end because as such it | will lose its true function. This is the purpose of everything the |
| Tx:8.78 | cases. Nor can anyone doubt your willingness to listen until you | will not to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the ego |
| Tx:8.78 | to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it | will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness |
| Tx:8.78 | willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating your | will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free but never to command. |
| Tx:8.79 | reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This | will heal them and therefore heal you. Everything used in accordance |
| Tx:8.79 | of your own perception of littleness. Do not let it reflect your | will to attack. Health is the natural state of anything whose |
| Tx:8.81 | your awareness of its reality. You do not have to seek reality. It | will seek you and find you when you meet its conditions. Its |
| Tx:8.81 | need do so little, because it is so powerful that your little part | will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let |
| Tx:8.82 | too, has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of waking if you | will let Him. |
| Tx:8.84 | is release from the fear of waking and the substitution of the | will to wake. The will to wake is the will to love, since all healing |
| Tx:8.84 | the fear of waking and the substitution of the will to wake. The | will to wake is the will to love, since all healing involves |
| Tx:8.84 | and the substitution of the will to wake. The will to wake is the | will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. |
| Tx:8.85 | The ego, which always weakens the | will, wants to separate the body from the mind. This is an attempt to |
| Tx:8.89 | He cannot lose this, but you can not know it. Yet it is still His | Will for you, and His Will must stand forever and in all things. |
| Tx:8.89 | but you can not know it. Yet it is still His Will for you, and His | Will must stand forever and in all things. |
| Tx:8.90 | Fear of the | Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has |
| Tx:8.90 | since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that the | Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful to you |
| Tx:8.90 | that you are afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the | Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your will is not the |
| Tx:8.90 | not, then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your | will is not the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What |
| Tx:8.91 | decided that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you | will not learn this course. Yet you might remember that the reason |
| Tx:8.92 | remind you of what you want. He is not attempting to force an alien | will upon you. He is merely making every possible effort, within the |
| Tx:8.92 | within the limits you impose on Him, to re-establish your own | will in your consciousness. |
| Tx:8.93 | You have imprisoned your | will in your unconscious, where it remains available but cannot help |
| Tx:8.93 | He has the power to look into what you have hidden and perceive the | Will of God there. His perception of this will can make it real to |
| Tx:8.93 | hidden and perceive the Will of God there. His perception of this | will can make it real to you because He is in your mind and therefore |
| Tx:8.94 | possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit | will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the |
| Tx:8.94 | yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's | Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between your |
| Tx:8.94 | Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between your | will and God's. If you did not have split minds, you would recognize |
| Tx:8.94 | through creation because that, and only that, is your joint | will. |
| Tx:8.95 | ask for what you do not want? Yet as long as you are afraid of your | will, this is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that |
| Tx:8.95 | as long as you are afraid of your will, this is precisely what you | will ask for. You may insist that the Holy Spirit does not answer |
| Tx:8.96 | persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly teach you your | will. Of him you can never learn it, and this gives you the illusion |
| Tx:8.96 | be safe from truth but only in it. Reality is the only safety. Your | will is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The |
| Tx:8.97 | No mind can believe that its | will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its will |
| Tx:8.97 | its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its | will is different from His, it can only decide either that there is |
| Tx:8.97 | His, it can only decide either that there is no God or that God's | Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the latter |
| Tx:8.97 | demands sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane decision | will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the |
| Tx:8.98 | The atheist maintains that God has left him, but he does not care. He | will, however, become very fearful and hence very angry if anyone |
| Tx:8.98 | was never created. It was never created, because it was never your | will for you. |
| Tx:8.99 | Ultimately everyone must remember the | Will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize himself. This |
| Tx:8.99 | must recognize himself. This recognition is the recognition that his | will and God's are one. In the presence of truth, there are no |
| Tx:8.99 | is the only Cause. God is Love, and you do want Him. This is your | will. Ask for this and you will be answered because you will be |
| Tx:8.99 | Love, and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you | will be answered because you will be asking only for what belongs to |
| Tx:8.99 | This is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered because you | will be asking only for what belongs to you. |
| Tx:8.100 | of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real, being of your | will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail |
| Tx:8.100 | are real, being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the | Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it in His Sons? |
| Tx:8.101 | is totally at variance with the principle of creation. God could not | will that happiness depended on what you could never have. |
| Tx:8.102 | for you to change them. If you hold your hands over your eyes, you | will not see because you are interfering with the laws of seeing. If |
| Tx:8.102 | you are interfering with the laws of seeing. If you deny love, you | will not know it because your cooperation is the law of its being. |
| Tx:8.103 | any kind to deny what is are fearful, and if they are strong, they | will induce panic. Willing against reality, though impossible, can be |
| Tx:8.104 | cannot be created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you | will not create. Opposing orders of reality make reality meaningless, |
| Tx:8.105 | Remember, then, that God's | Will is already possible and nothing else will ever be. This is the |
| Tx:8.105 | Remember, then, that God's Will is already possible and nothing else | will ever be. This is the simple acceptance of reality, because only |
| Tx:8.105 | reality and know what it is. And if you do distort reality, you | will experience anxiety, depression, and ultimately panic, because |
| Tx:8.109 | The very fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for anything | will ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain that no response |
| Tx:8.109 | Yet it is equally certain that no response given by the Holy Spirit | will ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His |
| Tx:8.109 | be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His answer | will not be heard at all. It is impossible, however, that it will be |
| Tx:8.109 | answer will not be heard at all. It is impossible, however, that it | will be lost. There are many answers which you have already received |
| Tx:8.110 | Believe his words are 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 |
| Tx:8.110 | which is 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 |
| Tx:8.110 | the truth in him, and his words will be true. As you hear him, you | will hear me. Listening to truth is the only way you can hear it now |
| Tx:8.112 | you are not alone. And His answer is only for what you are. You | will not know the trust I have in you unless you extend it. You will |
| Tx:8.112 | You will not know the trust I have in you unless you extend it. You | will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit or believe that it is |
| Tx:8.113 | whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You | will be answered as you hear the answer in everyone. Do not listen to |
| Tx:8.113 | hear the answer in everyone. Do not listen to anything else, or you | will not hear truth. |
| Tx:8.114 | Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you | will learn that my belief in you is justified. Believe in me by |
| Tx:8.114 | in me by believing in them for the sake of what God gave them. They | will answer you if you learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for |
| Tx:8.115 | cannot be grateful for what you do not value. There is a price you | will pay for judgment because judgment is the setting of a price. And |
| Tx:8.115 | because judgment is the setting of a price. And as you set it, you | will pay it. |
| Tx:8.116 | If paying is equated with getting, you | will set the price low but demand a high return. You will have |
| Tx:8.116 | getting, you will set the price low but demand a high return. You | will have forgotten, however, that [to price is to value, so] your |
| Tx:8.116 | as loss, and the reciprocal relationship of giving and receiving | will be recognized. The price will then be set high because of the |
| Tx:8.116 | relationship of giving and receiving will be recognized. The price | will then be set high because of the value of the return. The price |
| Tx:8.116 | for getting is to lose sight of value, making it inevitable that you | will not value what you receive. Valuing it little, you will not |
| Tx:8.116 | that you will not value what you receive. Valuing it little, you | will not appreciate it and will not want it. |
| Tx:8.116 | what you receive. Valuing it little, you will not appreciate it and | will not want it. |
| Tx:8.118 | where you see Him. If you see Him in everyone, consider how much you | will be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He will deny you |
| Tx:8.118 | consider how much you will be asking of Him and how much you | will receive. He will deny you nothing because you have denied Him |
| Tx:8.118 | how much you will be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He | will deny you nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you |

| Tx:9.6 | react to them as if they were real is to make them real to you. You | will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are being |
| Tx:9.6 | punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide and | will lose your way. |
| Tx:9.8 | Do not undertake His function, or you | will forget yours. Accept only the function of healing in time, |
| Tx:9.8 | you 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 |
| Tx:9.8 | by learning how to look on everything without it. Condemnation | will then not be real to you, and all your errors will be forgiven. |
| Tx:9.8 | it. Condemnation will then not be real to you, and all your errors | will be forgiven. |
| Tx:9.9 | beyond error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you | will believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what |
| Tx:9.10 | to correction. And if you do not follow this Guide, your errors | will not be corrected. The plan is not yours, because of your limited |
| Tx:9.11 | cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the ego, or you | will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness lies in its |
| Tx:9.12 | of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no sense and | will not work. By following it, you will merely place yourself in an |
| Tx:9.12 | of course, makes no sense and will not work. By following it, you | will merely place yourself in an impossible situation to which the |
| Tx:9.14 | not let any belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you | will also believe that you must undo what you have made in order to |
| Tx:9.15 | of grandiosity and confusion which makes it likely that the ego | will attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly |
| Tx:9.18 | of finding satisfaction in reality. Yet it is certain that he | will never find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is to |
| Tx:9.18 | only in fantasy. When you search for reality in fantasies, you | will not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of these |
| Tx:9.18 | not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of these you | will find many. But do not look for meaning in them. They have no |
| Tx:9.26 | Healing is not mysterious. Nothing | will occur unless you understand it, since light is understanding. A |
| Tx:9.27 | no longer believes in nightmares of any kind. The light in his mind | will therefore answer the questioner, who must decide with God that |
| Tx:9.28 | can only let Him fulfill His function. He needs no help for this. He | will tell you exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for |
| Tx:9.28 | you exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for help and | will speak to him through you if you do not interfere. Remember that |
| Tx:9.28 | that you are choosing a guide for helping, and the wrong choice | will not help. But remember also that the right one will. Trust Him, |
| Tx:9.28 | the wrong choice will not help. But remember also that the right one | will. Trust Him, for help is His function, and He is of God. |
| Tx:9.29 | other minds to the Holy Spirit through Him and not yourself, you | will understand that you are not obeying the laws of this world, but |
| Tx:9.29 | it provides the Guide who tells you what to do. If you do it, you | will see that it works. Its results are more convincing than its |
| Tx:9.29 | that it works. Its results are more convincing than its words. They | will convince you that the words are true. By following the right |
| Tx:9.29 | you that the words are true. By following the right Guide you | will learn the simplest of all lessons— |
| Tx:9.32 | your evaluations of His consistency. When you are inconsistent, you | will not always give rise to joy and so you will not always recognize |
| Tx:9.32 | are inconsistent, you will not always give rise to joy and so you | will not always recognize His consistency. What you offer to your |
| Tx:9.32 | His giving, but simply because you have limited your receiving. The | will to receive is the will to accept. |
| Tx:9.32 | because you have limited your receiving. The will to receive is the | will to accept. |
| Tx:9.33 | If your brothers are part of you, | will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you are, and your |
| Tx:9.34 | from you. Therefore you can create as He did, and your dissociation | will not alter this. Neither God's light nor yours is dimmed because |
| Tx:9.34 | His Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you | will know your magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours, but |
| Tx:9.34 | magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours, but meanwhile you | will judge it as you judge your brothers' and will accept it as you |
| Tx:9.34 | but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your brothers' and | will accept it as you accept theirs. |
| Tx:9.35 | Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you | will learn what waking means, and because you have willed to wake |
| Tx:9.35 | their gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them | will teach you its value. They will become the witnesses to your |
| Tx:9.35 | of what you have given them will teach you its value. They | will become the witnesses to your reality, as you were created |
| Tx:9.35 | Yet when the Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness, it | will be known by its creations, who witness to its reality as the Son |
| Tx:9.37 | your brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you | will find your creations, because he created them with you. You will |
| Tx:9.37 | you will find your creations, because he created them with you. You | will never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that |
| Tx:9.38 | God's | Will is your salvation. Would He not have given you the means to find |
| Tx:9.38 | chance to save yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they | will not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God wills you |
| Tx:9.38 | you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your | will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your |
| Tx:9.38 | is not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the | will of your brothers? |
| Tx:9.39 | Consider, then, that in this joint | will you are all united, and in this only. There will be disagreement |
| Tx:9.39 | that in this joint will you are all united, and in this only. There | will be disagreement on anything else, but not on this. This, then, |
| Tx:9.42 | The ego | will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out |
| Tx:9.42 | clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it | will shift abruptly from suspiciousness to viciousness, since its |
| Tx:9.42 | of what you are? If you are willing to see yourself as unloving, you | will not be happy. You are condemning yourself and must therefore |
| Tx:9.47 | Remember this when the ego speaks, and you | will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing |
| Tx:9.47 | for you do not want anything else. Return your part of Him, and He | will give you all of Himself in exchange for your return of what |
| Tx:9.48 | of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which | will you choose? |
| Tx:9.49 | as you despair of yourself. It shifts to viciousness whenever you | will not tolerate self-abasement and seek relief. Then it offers you |
| Tx:9.50 | withdraw to attack later. If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it | will attack immediately. If you do not, it will wait. |
| Tx:9.50 | offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately. If you do not, it | will wait. |
| Tx:9.51 | real, it is compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of reality | will not remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack |
| Tx:9.51 | with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The ego | will make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies against |
| Tx:9.51 | effort to recover and mobilize its energies against your release. It | will tell you that you are insane and argue that grandeur cannot be a |
| Tx:9.52 | be anywhere except in the Mind of God. When you forget this, you | will despair, and you will attack. |
| Tx:9.52 | in the Mind of God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you | will attack. |
| Tx:9.54 | Yet it must be insane because it is not true. Your grandeur | will never deceive you, but your illusions always will. Illusions are |
| Tx:9.54 | Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always | will. Illusions are deceptions. You cannot triumph, but you are |
| Tx:9.55 | from grandiosity because love is returned, but pride is not. Pride | will not produce miracles and therefore will deprive you of your true |
| Tx:9.55 | but pride is not. Pride will not produce miracles and therefore | will deprive you of your true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not |
| Tx:9.56 | it, the Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the | Will of God does not exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because |
| Tx:9.58 | does not vary. It merely is. Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He | will tell you, but do not be afraid of His answer, for it comes from |
| Tx:9.59 | nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and | will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain |
| Tx:9.60 | you are God's only creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy | will establishes everything that happens to you. Every response you |
| Tx:9.60 | you make to everything you perceive is up to you, because your | will determines your perception of it. |
| Tx:9.61 | to create for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your | will is holy. Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, |
| Tx:9.61 | Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your | will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you |
| Tx:9.61 | being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you | will realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your |
| Tx:9.63 | changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. God | will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against |
| Tx:9.65 | of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your | will to do so? You know from your own experience that what you see in |
| Tx:9.66 | yet that it once was so. And it is in this remembering that you | will know it can be so again. What is possible has not yet been |
| Tx:9.66 | has once been is so now if it is eternal. When you remember, you | will know what you remember is eternal and therefore is now. |
| Tx:9.67 | You | will remember everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if to |
| Tx:9.67 | you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, you | will have willed away the separation, returning your mind |
| Tx:9.67 | simultaneously to your Creator and your creations. Knowing them, you | will have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. |
| Tx:9.67 | creations. Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep but only the | will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you |
| Tx:9.67 | have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. Dreams | will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at |
| Tx:9.67 | will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you | will want only truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours. |
| Tx:9.67 | impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at last your | will, it will be yours. |
| Tx:9.67 | because you will want only truth, and being at last your will, it | will be yours. |
| Tx:9.69 | and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your | will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of yourself |
| Tx:9.69 | way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and His Voice | will tell you that you are part of Him when you are willing to |
| Tx:9.70 | world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God | will do His part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange for |
| Tx:9.70 | counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His part if you | will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange |
| Tx:9.70 | is the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His | Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He |
| Tx:9.70 | for perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your | will to remember Him and behold! He will give you everything but for |
| Tx:9.70 | Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He | will give you everything but for the asking. |
| Tx:9.71 | defenses always constitutes an attack on truth and truth is God, you | will realize why this is always fearful. If you further recognize |
| Tx:9.71 | fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of God, you | will understand why it is that you always attack yourself first. |
| Tx:9.73 | Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly clear if you | will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you have made |
| Tx:9.74 | God, and you do love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can | will to destroy himself. When you think you are attacking yourself, |
| Tx:9.75 | have them released from their sickness and returned to His Mind. He | will not limit your power to help them, because He has given it to |
| Tx:9.78 | willing to keep it hidden and to protect this idol, which you think | will save you from the dangers which the idol itself stands for, but |
| Tx:9.80 | mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I | will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it is true. |
| Tx:9.80 | 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:9.81 | I do not bring God's message with deception, and you | will learn this as you learn that you always receive as much as you |
| Tx:9.81 | because you heard. But have no other gods before Him, or you | will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods you make, but you are. |
| Tx:9.82 | really afraid of nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You | will hear the god you listen to. You made the god of sickness, and by |
| Tx:9.82 | able to hear him. Yet you did not create him, because he is not the | Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and will be unmade |
| Tx:9.82 | he is not the Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and | will be unmade for you the instant you signify your willingness to |
| Tx:9.83 | only because you honor them. Place honor where it is due, and peace | will be yours. It is your inheritance from your real Father. You |
| Tx:9.84 | Only at the altar of God | will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it |
| Tx:9.84 | God put it there. His Voice still calls you to return, and He | will be heard when you place no other gods before Him. You can give |
| Tx:9.84 | see him anywhere, you have accepted him. And if you accept him, you | will bow down and worship him because he was made as God's |
| Tx:9.85 | you are afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with God's | Will. If you attack him, you will make him real to you. But if you |
| Tx:9.85 | he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If you attack him, you | will make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in |
| Tx:9.85 | form he may appear to you and wherever you think you see him, he | will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made. |
| Tx:9.87 | be divided. If you perceive other gods, your mind is split, and you | will not be able to limit the split because the split is the sign |
| Tx:9.87 | split is the sign that you have removed part of your mind from God's | Will, and this means it is out of control. To be out of control is to |
| Tx:9.88 | God's laws | will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His |
| Tx:9.88 | God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His | Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of |
| Tx:9.89 | but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His | Will will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His Will, |
| Tx:9.89 | but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will | will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His Will, and |
| Tx:9.89 | His Will will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His | Will, and the manner of your creation established you as creators. |
| Tx:9.89 | you could hardly want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You | will see nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look |
| Tx:9.89 | to see it as it is. You will see nothing at all. And your vision | will automatically look beyond it to what is in you and all around |
| Tx:9.89 | Reality cannot break through the obstructions you interpose, but it | will envelop you completely when you let them go. |
| Tx:9.92 | never be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you | will learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen. |
| Tx:9.92 | greater light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving the spark | will heal, but knowing the light will create. Yet in the returning, |
| Tx:9.92 | there unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light | will create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be |
| Tx:9.92 | call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself | will answer you. |
| Tx:9.94 | Do not forget, however, that to deny God | will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that |
| Tx:9.94 | that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you | will believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. |
| Tx:9.94 | believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You | will receive the message you give, because it is the message you |
| Tx:9.96 | Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's Son against His | Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was fatherless, and |
| Tx:9.98 | but you have been much mistaken. Yet this can be corrected, and God | will help you, knowing that you could not sin against Him. You denied |
| Tx:9.99 | for His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you | will learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in |
| Tx:9.99 | His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your brothers, and God | will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for your gift to Him. |
| Tx:9.100 | healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you | will know that He has never ceased to acknowledge you and that in His |
| Tx:9.101 | If you | will accept yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of |
| Tx:9.101 | If you will accept yourself as God created you, you | will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you must acknowledge |
| Tx:9.101 | you must acknowledge Him as your Creator. This is not because you | will be punished otherwise. It is merely because your acknowledgment |
| Tx:9.102 | Him, you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God | will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to |
| Tx:9.102 | your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son | will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's |
| Tx:9.103 | Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom | will be restored to His Son. His Son removed himself from His gift by |
| Tx:9.103 | given you the means for undoing what you have made. Listen, and you | will learn what you are. |
| Tx:9.106 | Only if you accept the Fatherhood of God | will you have anything, because His fatherhood gave you everything. |
| Tx:9.106 | to you to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is not of God, | will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is true |
| Tx:9.106 | it is true in time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there | will be choices. Time itself was your choice. |
| Tx:9.107 | cannot both be real, because they contradict each other. If you | will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to |
| Tx:9.107 | each other. If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you | will begin to understand eternity and make it yours. |
| Tx:10.1 | Either God or the ego is insane. If you | will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize that |
| Tx:10.1 | insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you | will realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes |
| Tx:10.1 | is always an answer to the question, “Who is my father?” And you | will be faithful to the father you choose. |
| Tx:10.2 | the ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system | will not stand. |
| Tx:10.3 | terror on which it rests and bring it out into the light. There you | will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that everything of |
| Tx:10.4 | have at last looked at the ego's foundation without shrinking, you | will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from our Father to |
| Tx:10.4 | it in order to keep a dark cornerstone hidden, for its protection | will not save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you. You |
| Tx:10.4 | for its protection will not save you. I give you the lamp and I | will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I will lead |
| Tx:10.4 | will not 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 |
| Tx:10.4 | lamp and I will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I | will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. |
| Tx:10.4 | I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. | Will you not answer the call of love with joy? |
| Tx:10.5 | in this lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which God | will help you build again the thought system which you share with |
| Tx:10.5 | system which you share with Him. Not one stone you place upon it but | will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling |
| Tx:10.5 | Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you | will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills |
| Tx:10.5 | dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not | will to be alone. |
| Tx:10.7 | If you were not part of God, His | Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind |
| Tx:10.8 | for God holds for you. If you believe you are absent from God, you | will believe that He is absent from you. |
| Tx:10.9 | God is not incomplete, and He is not childless. Because He did not | will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His |
| Tx:10.9 | the ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you | will learn what God has kept for you. |
| Tx:10.10 | Could you be alone there if it was given you because God did not | will to be alone? God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be |
| Tx:10.10 | and what it creates is not limited. To give without limit is God's | Will for you because only this can bring you the joy which is His and |
| Tx:10.11 | fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to create, and your | will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your |
| Tx:10.11 | willed to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you | will to create since your will follows from His. And being an |
| Tx:10.11 | will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your | will follows from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must |
| Tx:10.11 | since your will follows from His. And being an extension of His | Will, yours must be the same. |
| Tx:10.12 | Yet what you | will you do not know. This is not strange when you realize that to |
| Tx:10.12 | is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not know.” God's | Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own |
| Tx:10.12 | Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own | will and therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask |
| Tx:10.12 | therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's | Will is in everything is merely because it is yours. You do not know |
| Tx:10.12 | the Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's | Will is for you, and He will tell you yours. It cannot be too often |
| Tx:10.12 | it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is for you, and He | will tell you yours. It cannot be too often repeated that you do not |
| Tx:10.12 | to be coercive, it is only because you do not recognize your own | will. |
| Tx:10.13 | The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's | Will is outside yourself and therefore not yours. In this |
| Tx:10.13 | not yours. In this interpretation, it is possible for God's | Will and yours to conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what |
| Tx:10.13 | thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, who wants only your | will, be capable of this? Your will is His Life, which He has given |
| Tx:10.13 | want. Would God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your | will is His Life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot |
| Tx:10.13 | What He created can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His | Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot |
| Tx:10.13 | but it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His Son and His Son's | will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because His |
| Tx:10.13 | Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot | will death for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like |
| Tx:10.13 | because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him. Creation is your | will because it is His. |
| Tx:10.14 | You cannot be happy unless you do what you | will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is |
| Tx:10.14 | cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by God's | Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not have been extended. |
| Tx:10.14 | It is immutable by God's Will and yours, for otherwise His | Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's Will |
| Tx:10.14 | His Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's | Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole |
| Tx:10.15 | for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not | will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it |
| Tx:10.15 | but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His | Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. Always remember that |
| Tx:10.15 | for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the | Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be |
| Tx:10.15 | to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your | will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is |
| Tx:10.15 | is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose | Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His Son be one, and |
| Tx:10.15 | is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's | Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That |
| Tx:10.15 | That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your | will is His. |
| Tx:10.16 | If sickness is separation, the | will to heal and be healed is the first step toward recognizing what |
| Tx:10.16 | both Father and Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your | will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him |
| Tx:10.16 | only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you | will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, |
| Tx:10.16 | in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one | will. Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your |
| Tx:10.16 | God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and what you | will is therefore lost to you. |
| Tx:10.18 | as love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder | will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And being |
| Tx:10.18 | and therefore without meaning. And being without meaning to you, you | will not understand it. To deny meaning must be to fail to |
| Tx:10.18 | himself and therefore knows not what he does. Having forgotten his | will, he does not know what he wants. |
| Tx:10.19 | ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He | will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would undertake, for |
| Tx:10.19 | would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole, He | will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the Son |
| Tx:10.19 | your small willingness to make whole, He will lay His own complete | will and make yours whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish |
| Tx:10.19 | you, for you have surely learned that whom you invite as your guest | will abide with you. |
| Tx:10.20 | The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He | will not be heard. The Eternal Guest remains, but His Voice grows |
| Tx:10.20 | Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He | will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever |
| Tx:10.20 | allied yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to take, He | will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He |
| Tx:10.21 | You | will never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for only |
| Tx:10.21 | you know your function and fulfill it, for only in this can your | will and your Father's be wholly joined. To have Him is to be like |
| Tx:10.21 | Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that | will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how |
| Tx:10.21 | let 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 |
| Tx:10.21 | grow. Your willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you | will merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that |
| Tx:10.21 | because His is. If you will merely offer Him a little place, He | will lighten it so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this |
| Tx:10.21 | merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you | will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to |
| Tx:10.21 | so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you | will begin to remember creation. |
| Tx:10.22 | Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You | will accept only whom you invite. You are free to determine who shall |
| Tx:10.23 | When you are weary, remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter | will rest you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you did |
| Tx:10.23 | yourselves, you could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's | Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His |
| Tx:10.24 | in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his | will is not his own. The Kingdom is his, and yet he wanders |
| Tx:10.24 | brothers, he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did not | will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be true |
| Tx:10.24 | let this be real if He did 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. |
| Tx:10.25 | When the light comes and you have said, “God's | Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you will know it is not |
| Tx:10.25 | When the light comes and you have said, “God's Will is mine,” you | will see such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your |
| Tx:10.25 | have said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you | will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty in |
| Tx:10.25 | such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you | will create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be |
| Tx:10.25 | your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little world | will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with |
| Tx:10.25 | The bleak little world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart | will be so filled with joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the |
| Tx:10.25 | into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with joy that it | will leap into Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you |
| Tx:10.25 | Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you what this | will be like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can tell you and |
| Tx:10.27 | him to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him. You | will never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but |
| Tx:10.28 | are no other gods that you can place before Him, and accept His | Will for you in peace. For you cannot accept it otherwise. |
| Tx:10.29 | find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you | will not know that you are there. For what is unlike God cannot enter |
| Tx:10.30 | Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you | will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your |
| Tx:10.30 | will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your | will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless |
| Tx:10.30 | it is your will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you | will bless him in time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot separate |
| Tx:10.30 | God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you | will be in eternity. Time cannot separate you from God if you use it |
| Tx:10.32 | deny your Father is still for your protection, for the power of your | will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God against it, |
| Tx:10.32 | of God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the | Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to save |
| Tx:10.33 | that you can only darken your own mind. As you bring him back, so | will your mind return. That is the law of God for the protection of |
| Tx:10.35 | His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he | will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised |
| Tx:10.36 | His Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you | will believe that the door is barred and you cannot enter. The door |
| Tx:10.38 | the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he | will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in |
| Tx:10.39 | at the ego's thought system because together we have the lamp that | will dispel it, and since you realize you do not want it, you must be |
| Tx:10.39 | we are merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego | will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to |
| Tx:10.39 | look first at this to look beyond it since you have made it real. We | will undo this error quietly together and then look beyond it to |
| Tx:10.40 | without protecting them? Be not afraid, therefore, for what you | will be looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned |
| Tx:10.44 | being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to | will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His |
| Tx:10.44 | will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His | Will is one because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike |
| Tx:10.44 | and not real willing. His Will is one because the extension of His | Will cannot be unlike itself. The real conflict you experience, then, |
| Tx:10.44 | you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the | Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real conflict? |
| Tx:10.49 | For though you may countenance a false idea of independence, you | will not accept the cost of fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the |
| Tx:10.51 | is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your joint | will. Recognize only that the ego's goal, which you have pursued |
| Tx:10.52 | not insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he | will not accept it. For only the insane would choose fear in place of |
| Tx:10.53 | without meaningful relationships and thus without meaning. The ego | will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is |
| Tx:10.57 | Would you remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you | will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, |
| Tx:10.57 | Son is, the Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He | will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light |
| Tx:10.58 | want to be true. Every brother has the power to release you if you | will to be free. You cannot accept false witness of him unless you |
| Tx:10.58 | You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks through you, you | will hear Him. |
| Tx:10.59 | seen and still believe,” for those who believe in the resurrection | will see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over |
| Tx:10.61 | teaches. I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you | will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is |
| Tx:10.61 | of God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God | will see himself as fatherless. |
| Tx:10.62 | 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, which knows no |
| Tx:10.62 | This is as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the | Will of God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But make no |
| Tx:10.62 | no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or you | will not perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend |
| Tx:10.63 | him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom, for he | will obey only the god he accepts. The god of the crucifixion demands |
| Tx:10.63 | pain. The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not | will to take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience |
| Tx:10.63 | obedience implies submission. He would only have you learn your own | will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, |
| Tx:10.64 | yours with them. Guard them in their resurrection, for otherwise you | will not awake in God, safely surrounded by what is yours forever. |
| Tx:10.65 | You | will not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands |
| Tx:10.66 | thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's Son, for the | Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from his own |
| Tx:10.67 | You | will awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is within you. If |
| Tx:10.67 | you are awake. Yet you must see the works I do through you, or you | will not perceive that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits |
| Tx:10.67 | Do not set limits on what you believe I can do through you, or you | will not accept what I can do for you. For it is done already, and |
| Tx:10.67 | is done already, and unless you give all that you have received, you | will not know that your Redeemer liveth and that you have awakened |
| Tx:10.68 | God's Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you | will have a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part |
| Tx:10.68 | of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His | Will is either great or small. What does not exist has no size and no |
| Tx:10.71 | is like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only this | will lead you to the real Heaven because it will make you capable of |
| Tx:10.71 | and perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven because it | will make you capable of understanding it. |
| Tx:10.72 | awareness, you have not met its conditions, and until you do you | will not know that it is yours already. You have made many ideas |
| Tx:10.73 | that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is His | Will to be known. The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:10.74 | But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you | will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the swiftness with |
| Tx:10.74 | it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real perception | will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an instant to |
| Tx:10.74 | your new and only real perception will be translated into knowledge | will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is true. |
| Tx:10.75 | And then everything you made | will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the true. For |
| Tx:10.75 | the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world | will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its |
| Tx:10.75 | you. Yet the Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you | will let Him interpret it for you, He will restore what you have |
| Tx:10.75 | meaning for you, and if you will let Him interpret it for you, He | will restore what you have thrown away. As long as you think you know |
| Tx:10.75 | you have thrown away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you | will see no need to ask it of Him. |
| Tx:10.77 | No one can withhold truth except from himself. Yet God | will not refuse the answer He gave you. Ask, then, for what is yours |
| Tx:10.79 | Decide for the answer and you | will have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is yours already. |
| Tx:10.79 | Decide for the answer and you will have it, for you | will see it as it is, and it is yours already. |
| Tx:10.80 | be more specific than to be told very clearly that if you ask you | will receive. The Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as |
| Tx:10.80 | told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy Spirit | will answer every specific problem as long as you believe that |
| Tx:10.80 | 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 nothing |
| Tx:10.80 | for fear of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking | will you learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you. |
| Tx:10.81 | is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The Holy Spirit | will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in return. For |
| Tx:10.81 | it as 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:10.82 | Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God | will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is |
| Tx:10.83 | Blessed are you who | will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn |
| Tx:10.83 | anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His Father | will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His |
| Tx:10.84 | thoughts as his reality, for by denying that his mind is split, you | will heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him |
| Tx:10.85 | As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for it, you | will give it because you want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing |
| Tx:10.85 | Help by asking for it, you will give it because you want it. Nothing | will be beyond your healing power because nothing will be denied your |
| Tx:10.85 | want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing | will be denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear |
| Tx:10.85 | because nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems | will not disappear in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to |
| Tx:10.85 | to learn of the reality of your brother because this is what you | will perceive in him, and you will see your beauty reflected in him. |
| Tx:10.85 | your brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you | will see your beauty reflected in him. |
| Tx:10.86 | variable perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you | will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real |
| Tx:10.86 | one with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you | will learn of the Father's love for you. |
| Tx:10.89 | they are of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer, you too | will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear lies |
| Tx:10.89 | to perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they | will ask for truth again when they are frightened. It is not the |
| Tx:10.89 | and 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 |
| 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. |
| Tx:10.90 | in you is impossible. When you perceive yourself without deceit, you | will accept the real world in place of the false one you have made. |

| Tx:11.1 | is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you | will respond as if he had actually done so, because you have made his |
| Tx:11.1 | To interpret error is to give it power, and having done this, you | will overlook truth. |
| Tx:11.4 | If you maintain that an appeal for help is something else, you | will react to something else, and your response will be inappropriate |
| Tx:11.4 | something else, you will react to something else, and your response | will be inappropriate to reality as it is but not to your perception |
| Tx:11.6 | answering his appeal can you be helped. Deny him your help, and you | will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not need |
| Tx:11.7 | help yourselves. But hear his call for the help of God, and you | will recognize your own need for the Father. |
| Tx:11.8 | are asking for it, and if you perceive but one need in yourself, you | will be healed. For you will recognize God's answer as you want it to |
| Tx:11.8 | you perceive but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you | will recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it |
| Tx:11.8 | 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 Christ |
| Tx:11.9 | of the reactions of others more and more consistently, you | will gain an increasing awareness that His criteria are equally |
| Tx:11.9 | how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others | will serve you then. |
| Tx:11.10 | is what recognizing it really means. If you do not protect it, He | will reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning to |
| Tx:11.13 | replace fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus | will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with |
| Tx:11.16 | offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You | will be made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the |
| Tx:11.17 | it, their fears vanish, but if they hide their nightmares, they | will keep them. It is easy to help an uncertain child, for he |
| Tx:11.18 | the covers and look at what you are afraid of. Only the anticipation | will frighten you, for the reality of nothingness cannot be |
| Tx:11.18 | be frightening. Let us not delay this, for your dream of hatred | will not leave you without help, and help is here. Learn to be quiet |
| Tx:11.19 | was given you by God, and you must accomplish it because it is His | Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your will to do so. |
| Tx:11.19 | it is His Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your | will to do so. What has been accomplished for you must be yours. Do |
| Tx:11.20 | A little while and you | will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I will |
| Tx:11.20 | and you will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I | will awaken you as surely as I awakened myself, for I awoke for you. |
| Tx:11.20 | not redemption. Trust in my help, for I did not walk alone, and I | will walk with you as our Father walked with me. Did you not know |
| Tx:11.21 | There is no fear in perfect love. We | will but be making perfect to you what is already perfect in you. You |
| Tx:11.21 | perfect in you. You do not fear the unknown, but the known. You | will not fail in your mission because I failed not in mine. Give me |
| Tx:11.21 | little trust in the name of the complete trust I have in you, and we | will easily accomplish the goal of perfection together. For |
| Tx:11.22 | to banish love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear | will succeed. The Lord is with you, but you know it not. Yet your |
| Tx:11.22 | it, not by denying its full import in any way—this is what you | will really see. You cannot lay aside the obstacle to real vision |
| Tx:11.22 | looking upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you | will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot |
| Tx:11.22 | lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit | will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep |
| Tx:11.22 | to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and | will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep hidden, for you |
| Tx:11.23 | for otherwise His knowledge remains useless to you. Surely He | will not fail to help you, since help is His only purpose. Do you not |
| Tx:11.28 | to believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you | will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not understand that |
| Tx:11.33 | He would not have it so, and so it is not so. You still could not | will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the world |
| Tx:11.33 | you have no control over the world you made. It is not a world of | will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this |
| Tx:11.33 | is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not | will. The world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by |
| Tx:11.34 | it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it is | will you gain control over it. For you do have control over your mind |
| Tx:11.34 | over your mind since the mind is the mechanism of decision. If you | will recognize that all attack which you perceive is in your own mind |
| Tx:11.34 | attack which you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you | will at last have placed its source, and where it began it must end. |
| Tx:11.35 | of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you | will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly. |
| Tx:11.35 | to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you | will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell |
| Tx:11.35 | where God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you | will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the |
| Tx:11.36 | is the one promise the ego holds out to you and the one promise it | will keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and |
| Tx:11.37 | your mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you | will surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on |
| Tx:11.38 | that it had not taught you the response pattern you need. The ego | will therefore distort love and teach you that love calls forth the |
| Tx:11.38 | which the ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you | will search for love but will not recognize it. |
| Tx:11.38 | teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but | will not recognize it. |
| Tx:11.39 | would keep? The Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that | will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you will |
| Tx:11.39 | one that will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you | will find,” and under His guidance you cannot be defeated. His is the |
| Tx:11.39 | is the journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets before you He | will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves |
| Tx:11.39 | and the goal He sets before you He will give you. For He | will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the |
| Tx:11.40 | You | will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this world. |
| Tx:11.40 | a journey because you are not at home in this world. And you | will search for your home whether you know where it is or not. If you |
| Tx:11.40 | it is or not. If you believe it is outside yourself, the search | will be futile, for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do |
| Tx:11.40 | believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you | will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to look |
| Tx:11.40 | your home is there. Yet the Holy Spirit knows it for you, and He | will guide you to your home because that is His mission. As He |
| Tx:11.40 | home 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 |
| Tx:11.41 | might learn you have eternal life. For death is not your Father's | Will nor yours, and whatever is true is the Will of the Father. You |
| Tx:11.41 | 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 was given |
| Tx:11.41 | for death, and a very heavy one. If death is your treasure, you | will sell everything else to purchase it. And you will believe that |
| Tx:11.41 | your treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it. And you | will believe that you have purchased it because you have sold |
| Tx:11.42 | invest in it, not with money but with your spirit. For Spirit is | will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your inheritance awaits |
| Tx:11.42 | in it, not with money but with your spirit. For Spirit is will, and | will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your inheritance awaits only the |

| Tx:11.44 | effect. Although you have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you | will demonstrate that nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you |
| Tx:11.45 | You | will never realize the utter uselessness of attack except by |
| Tx:11.45 | if they perceive it, and if you are trying to attack them, you | will be unable to avoid interpreting this as reinforcement. The only |
| Tx:11.49 | aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to learning | will be misinterpreted. For they are all for learning facilitation, |
| Tx:11.50 | not overcome it, for all your learning is on its behalf. Yet your | will speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against |
| Tx:11.50 | speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against your | will, and so you fight against learning and succeed, for that is your |
| Tx:11.50 | and so you fight against learning and succeed, for that is your | will. But you do not realize even yet that there is something you do |
| Tx:11.50 | will. But you do not realize even yet that there is something you do | will to learn, and that you can learn it because it is your will to |
| Tx:11.50 | you do will to learn, and that you can learn it because it is your | will to do so. |
| Tx:11.51 | You who have tried to learn what you do not | will should take heart, for although the curriculum you set yourself |
| Tx:11.51 | not to attain it? Resign now as your own teachers. This resignation | will not lead to depression. It is merely the result of an honest |
| Tx:11.51 | conditions, which you can neither provide nor understand, you | will become excellent learners and teachers. But it is not so yet and |
| Tx:11.51 | become excellent learners and teachers. But it is not so yet and | will not be so until the whole learning situation as you have set it |
| Tx:11.52 | Your learning potential, properly understood, is limitless because it | will lead you to God. You can teach the way to Him and learn it if |
| Tx:11.52 | accord. You need offer only undivided attention. Everything else | will be given you. For it is your will to learn aright, and nothing |
| Tx:11.52 | attention. Everything else will be given you. For it is your | will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. |
| Tx:11.52 | you. For it is your will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the | Will of God's Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is. |
| Tx:11.53 | sell your awareness of it. You cannot perceive your Soul, but you | will not know it while you perceive anything else as more valuable. |
| Tx:11.54 | aware of 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. |
| Tx:11.54 | because of Him. You chose to forget your Father, but you did not | will to do so, and therefore you can decide otherwise. As it was my |
| Tx:11.55 | of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it | will ever have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you. As |
| Tx:11.56 | forgetting to the remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He | will look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as |
| Tx:11.57 | Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He | will show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him |
| Tx:11.57 | His Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he | will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the Father |
| Tx:11.58 | When you have seen this real world, as you | will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must learn the cost of |

| Tx:11.58 | you must learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to pay it. Only then | will you decide to awaken. And then the real world will spring to |
| Tx:11.58 | pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real world | will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is waiting |
| Tx:11.58 | the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit | will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self. |
| Tx:11.61 | is demonstrated as you use it in more and more situations. You | will recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty |
| Tx:11.61 | miracles do not apply, and by applying them to all situations, you | will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be |
| Tx:11.61 | you will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you | will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your |

| Tx:11.63 | you to do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving His results, you | will understand where He must be and finally know what He is. |
| Tx:11.64 | Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you | will not realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses and speak |
| Tx:11.65 | As long as you believe you have two functions, so long | will you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of |
| Tx:11.65 | would you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you | will believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you |
| Tx:11.65 | For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so | will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, |
| Tx:11.65 | ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception | will reflect the guidance you chose. |
| Tx:11.66 | I am the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it | will be because you have invited Him. For He will send you His |
| Tx:11.66 | and when you see me, it will be because you have invited Him. For He | will send you His witnesses if you will but look upon them. Remember |
| Tx:11.66 | you have invited Him. For He will send you His witnesses if you | will but look upon them. Remember always that you see what you seek, |
| Tx:11.66 | Remember always that you see what you seek, for what you seek you | will find. The ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not |
| Tx:11.66 | seeking and finding are the same, and if you seek for two goals you | will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you will think |
| Tx:11.66 | the same, and if you seek for two goals you will find them, but you | will recognize neither. For you will think they are the same because |
| Tx:11.66 | goals you will find them, but you will recognize neither. For you | will think they are the same because you want them both. The mind |
| Tx:11.66 | for integration, and if it is split and wants to keep the split, it | will believe it has one goal by making it one. |
| Tx:11.67 | This is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself, you | will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the |
| Tx:11.67 | you want in yourself, you will make manifest by projection, and you | will accept it from the world because you put it there by wanting it. |
| Tx:11.69 | When you want only love you | will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you |
| Tx:11.69 | by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its messengers | will come to you because you invited them. |
| Tx:11.72 | When you have accepted your mission to project peace, you | will find it, for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its holy |
| Tx:11.72 | to project peace, you will find it, for by making it manifest, you | will see it. Its holy witnesses will surround you because you called |
| Tx:11.72 | it, for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its holy witnesses | will surround you because you called upon them and they will come to |
| Tx:11.72 | witnesses will surround you because you called upon them and they | will come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but |
| Tx:11.72 | come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you | will not look upon me nor hear the answer which you sought. That is |
| Tx:11.72 | you do not yet want only that. Yet as I become more real to you, you | will learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you |
| Tx:11.72 | more real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. And you | will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as |
| Tx:11.72 | do want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we | will look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes |
| Tx:11.72 | only the real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so | will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your decision. |
| Tx:11.73 | When you look within and see me, it | will be because you have decided to manifest truth. And as you |
| Tx:11.73 | you have decided to manifest truth. And as you manifest it, you | will see it both without and within, for you will see it without |
| Tx:11.73 | as you manifest it, you will see it both without and within, for you | will see it without because you saw it first within. Everything you |
| Tx:11.73 | is a judgment of what you beheld within. If it is your judgment, it | will be wrong, for judgment is not your function. If it is the |
| Tx:11.73 | is not your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it | will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His function |
| Tx:11.73 | as He does, reserving no judgment at all unto yourselves. For you | will judge against yourselves, but He will judge for you. |
| Tx:11.73 | all unto yourselves. For you will judge against yourselves, but He | will judge for you. |
| Tx:11.74 | of its feeling for you, it lets you live but to await death. It | will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not satisfied |
| Tx:11.74 | is the one end toward which it works, and the only end with which it | will be satisfied. |
| Tx:11.75 | you 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:11.76 | to yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not die. You | will realize that this is true when you look within and see me. Would |
| Tx:11.76 | He had also given it to you? When you learn to make me manifest, you | will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in |
| Tx:11.76 | you learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. For you | will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you will see |
| Tx:11.76 | For you will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you | will see only the eternal as you look out upon a world that cannot |
| Tx:11.77 | that you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you | will never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it |
| Tx:11.77 | sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it | will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and |
| Tx:11.77 | come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and it | will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace. |
| Tx:11.80 | in his memory. You can deny it, but you cannot lose it. A Voice | will answer every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the |
| Tx:11.80 | lose it. A Voice will answer every question you ask, and a Vision | will correct the perception of everything you see. For what you have |
| Tx:11.81 | You have but to ask for this memory, and you | will remember. Yet the memory of God cannot shine in a mind which has |
| Tx:11.84 | But take it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its reality | will make everything else invisible, for beholding it is total |
| Tx:11.84 | for beholding it is total perception. And as you look upon it, you | will remember that it was always so. Nothingness will become |
| Tx:11.84 | look upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness | will become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed |
| Tx:11.84 | that it was always so. Nothingness will become invisible, for you | will at last have seen truly. Redeemed perception is easily |
| Tx:11.85 | from the mind being judged, believing that by punishing another, it | will escape punishment. All this is but the delusional attempt of the |
| Tx:11.86 | of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you | will realize that this is so. For this world is the symbol of |
| Tx:11.88 | realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you | will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept the eternal |
| Tx:11.88 | Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you | will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's |
| Tx:11.91 | Time seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it | will roll up like a long carpet which has spread along the past |
| Tx:11.91 | up like a long carpet which has spread along the past behind you and | will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you |
| Tx:11.91 | will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you | will walk along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And |
| Tx:11.91 | along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And the journey | will seem long and cruel and senseless, for so it is. |
| Tx:11.92 | Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees | will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:11.93 | You | will see me as you learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has always |
| Tx:11.93 | of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind. God's Son | will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him not, |
| Tx:11.94 | When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you | will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you |
| Tx:11.95 | As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you | will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The Son |
| Tx:11.96 | on to the past only through guilt. For guilt establishes that you | will be punished for what you have done and thus depends on |
| Tx:11.96 | in your minds to ensure the ego's continuity. For if what has been | will be punished, the ego's continuity is guaranteed. Yet the |
| Tx:12.3 | it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness anywhere, and it | will try to destroy it because it is afraid. |
| Tx:12.6 | of this course stems ultimately from this interpretation, but if you | will consider your reactions to it, you will become increasingly |
| Tx:12.6 | interpretation, but if you will consider your reactions to it, you | will become increasingly convinced that this is so. |
| Tx:12.7 | Yet you are afraid of it. You have been told again and again that it | will make you free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you. |
| Tx:12.8 | with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you believe it | will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you |
| Tx:12.8 | of your fear. For you believe that in the presence of truth you | will turn on yourself and destroy yourself. |
| Tx:12.9 | this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is nothing, and if you | will but bring it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no |
| Tx:12.9 | is nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light | will dispel it. And then no dark cloud will remain between you and |
| Tx:12.9 | it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no dark cloud | will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you |
| Tx:12.9 | will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you | will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is |
| Tx:12.9 | His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is immortal. And you | will see that you were redeemed with him and have never been |
| Tx:12.9 | remembering, for it is the recognition of love without fear. There | will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy will be |
| Tx:12.9 | There will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy | will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless Son of |
| Tx:12.10 | Atonement, which you do not yet realize. We have said that no one | will countenance fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your disordered |
| Tx:12.12 | still deeper than the ego's foundation, and much stronger than it | will ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, and His for |
| Tx:12.13 | attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and He does not | will to be excluded. |
| Tx:12.15 | enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it enters of its | will and cares not for yours. |
| Tx:12.17 | carefully for any thoughts which you may fear to uncover. For He | will heal every little thought which you have kept to hurt you and |
| Tx:12.18 | calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you | will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You |
| Tx:12.18 | will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You | will find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for |
| Tx:12.18 | they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving it you | will welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of |
| Tx:12.18 | that is in them. And perceiving it you will welcome it, and it | will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's Son, and no |
| Tx:12.18 | him or save him from what he is. Only his love is real, and he | will be content only with his reality. |
| Tx:12.19 | Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you | will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not |
| Tx:12.19 | place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you | will exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering |
| Tx:12.19 | yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total love, you | will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear, |
| Tx:12.22 | in your insanity. [And this He did. No one who hears His answer but | will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference point beyond |
| Tx:12.22 | back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and you | will find it, for love is in you and will lead you there. |
| Tx:12.22 | But seek this place, and you will find it, for love is in you and | will lead you there. |
| Tx:12.26 | that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. You | will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure |
| Tx:12.27 | present reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you | will react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and |
| Tx:12.27 | react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and this | will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you |
| Tx:12.27 | will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you | will receive messages from them out of your own past because, by |
| Tx:12.32 | You too | will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours. If you |
| Tx:12.32 | If you accept your function in the world of time as healing, you | will emphasize only the aspect of time in which healing can occur. |
| Tx:12.32 | the past. But if you interpret your function as destruction, you | will lose sight of the present and hold on to the past to ensure a |
| Tx:12.32 | 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:12.36 | they have condemned themselves. They do not wish to die, yet they | will not let condemnation go. And so they separate into their private |
| Tx:12.39 | For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him. And He | will not return it, for it is unworthy of you because it is unworthy |
| Tx:12.40 | You | will see all that you denied in your brothers because you denied it |
| Tx:12.40 | denied in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you | will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to |
| Tx:12.40 | yourself. For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you | will draw them to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your |
| Tx:12.40 | which you share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we | will draw them from their private worlds, for as we are united, so |
| Tx:12.41 | what you see you made. But let the darkness go, and all you made you | will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying vision. Yet |
| Tx:12.42 | For He loves what He sees within you, and He would extend it. And He | will not return unto the Father until He has extended your perception |
| Tx:12.43 | in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you | will see as you look with Him, for His vision is His gift of love to |
| Tx:12.44 | who would behold Him can see Him, for they have asked for light. Nor | will they see Him alone, for He is no more alone than they are. |
| Tx:12.44 | they saw the Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this | will they understand because they looked within and saw beyond the |
| Tx:12.45 | was now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you | will be unable to perceive the reality that is now. |
| Tx:12.46 | at all to the past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you | will be able to learn from what you see now. For the past can cast no |
| Tx:12.49 | obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you | will find it if you seek it there. You have looked for it where it is |
| Tx:12.49 | have not found it. Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it | will dawn on eyes that see. Your past was made in anger, and if you |
| Tx:12.49 | past was made in anger, and if you use it to attack the present, you | will not see the freedom that the present holds. Judgment and |
| Tx:12.49 | condemnation are behind you, and unless you bring them with you, you | will see that you are free of them. |
| Tx:12.50 | 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 is eternal, |
| Tx:12.51 | witnesses to shine on you because you called them forth. And they | will not deny the truth in you because you looked for it in them and |
| Tx:12.53 | Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you | will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation. |
| Tx:12.53 | you heal bear witness to your healing, for in their wholeness you | will see your own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to |
| Tx:12.53 | And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your Creator, He | will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. For it can |
| Tx:12.54 | Children of light, you know not that the light is in you. Yet you | will find it through its witnesses, for having given light to them, |
| Tx:12.54 | find it through its witnesses, for having given light to them, they | will return it. Everyone you see in light brings your light closer to |
| Tx:12.55 | forth to call you from the world and follow it. For this light | will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lay |
| Tx:12.55 | this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you | will lay aside the world and find another. This other world is bright |
| Tx:12.55 | other world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here | will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is |
| Tx:12.55 | across this world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you | will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because |
| Tx:12.55 | quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you, and you | will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your |
| Tx:12.55 | shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your light | will join with theirs in power so compelling that it will draw the |
| Tx:12.55 | Your light will join with theirs in power so compelling that it | will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them. |
| Tx:12.56 | Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free | will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The |
| Tx:12.60 | because you have denied the other. Both are not true, yet either one | will seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And |
| Tx:12.62 | touch you even here because you love it. And what you call with love | will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a call |
| Tx:12.64 | other world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he | will deny the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves |
| Tx:12.64 | love points out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you | will rejoice that you have found His company and learned of Him the |
| Tx:12.64 | world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your | will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition |
| Tx:12.64 | your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ | will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you share |
| Tx:12.64 | peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the | Will of God in recognition that you share it with Him. |
| Tx:12.65 | It is God's | Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else |
| Tx:12.66 | wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in time, and it | will fade. But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of God |
| Tx:12.67 | You | will first dream of peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange |
| Tx:12.68 | between the two worlds, He knows what you have need of and what | will not hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept if it is left to |
| Tx:12.69 | Everything that the ego tells you that you need | will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to get, |
| Tx:12.69 | again and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what you get, it | will demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it, it |
| Tx:12.69 | will demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it, it | will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees |
| Tx:12.69 | what you need, for you do not know and your advice unto yourself | will hurt you. For what you think you need will merely serve to |
| Tx:12.69 | your advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need | will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and |
| Tx:12.70 | Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He | will give you all things that do not block the way to light. And what |
| Tx:12.70 | you need? In time He gives you all the things that you need have and | will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will take |
| Tx:12.70 | need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He | will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And |
| Tx:12.70 | of it. And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary and | will but last until you step aside from all your needs and learn that |
| Tx:12.70 | in the things that He supplies except to make certain that you | will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. He knows that you |
| Tx:12.71 | Leave, then, your needs to Him. He | will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. What comes to you |
| Tx:12.71 | at all upon them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He | will ensure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and |
| Tx:12.71 | hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance, you | will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the |
| Tx:12.74 | Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He | will lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind that |
| Tx:12.74 | you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you | will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you will as surely |
| Tx:12.74 | seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you | will as surely keep and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet |
| Tx:12.75 | of God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you need? We | will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The |
| Tx:12.75 | to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit | will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only |
| Tx:12.75 | glad exchange for all the world has offered but to take away. And we | will spread it like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in |
| Tx:12.76 | Father's gift to me, given me through His Spirit. The sound of it | will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it |
| Tx:13.2 | Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, | will last forever. |
| Tx:13.3 | is needful here. Aspects of reality can still be seen, and they | will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of reality can be seen in |
| Tx:13.6 | are all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He | will offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There |
| Tx:13.8 | When you have seen your brothers as yourself, you | will be released to knowledge, having learned to free yourself of Him |
| Tx:13.8 | of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son | will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one left |
| Tx:13.8 | we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will move in us, and we | will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly time |
| Tx:13.8 | 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:13.8 | and no one left alone. And suddenly time will be over, and we | will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy light you |
| Tx:13.8 | saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your brothers | will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is in you, your |
| Tx:13.8 | to you. And knowing that the light is in you, your creations | will be there with you, as you are in your Father. |
| Tx:13.10 | to what you do not know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God | will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved Son outside |
| Tx:13.11 | upon His Son. The guilty always condemn, and having done so, they | will condemn, linking the future to the past as is the ego's law. |
| Tx:13.11 | so brightly that the chain of darkness in which you bound yourselves | will disappear. |
| Tx:13.12 | harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation of yourself, and you | will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The ego |
| Tx:13.13 | in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful unto darkness and you | will not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You |
| Tx:13.13 | Be faithful unto darkness and you will not see, because your faith | will be rewarded as you gave it. You will accept your treasure, and |
| Tx:13.13 | not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You | will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, |
| Tx:13.13 | your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the future | will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The |
| Tx:13.13 | you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of your valuing | will make it so. |
| Tx:13.16 | See no one, then, as guilty, and you | will affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every |
| Tx:13.16 | whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you | will see it there, for it is there until it is undone. Guilt is |
| Tx:13.17 | makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you | will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world seems dark |
| Tx:13.21 | No one who would unite in any way with anyone for his own salvation | will find it in that strange relationship. It is not shared, and so |
| Tx:13.22 | your guilt upon him or share it with him or perceive his own, you | will feel guilty. Nor will you find satisfaction and peace with him, |
| Tx:13.22 | or share it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor | will you find satisfaction and peace with him, because your union |
| Tx:13.22 | and peace with him, because your union with him is not real. You | will see guilt in that relationship because you put it there. It is |
| Tx:13.22 | you put it there. It is inevitable that those who suffer guilt | will attempt to displace it, because they do believe in it. Yet, |
| Tx:13.22 | it, because they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they | will not look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and |
| Tx:13.24 | past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less, | will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in peace |
| Tx:13.24 | to you as you would have yourself be welcome to your Father, you | will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement, |
| Tx:13.24 | be welcome to your Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you | will have accepted the Atonement, which shone within you all the |
| Tx:13.25 | that guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you | will not look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end |
| Tx:13.25 | look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt | will never come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For |
| Tx:13.27 | Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what | will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that he is |
| Tx:13.27 | without. When he has looked within and seen the radiance there, he | will remember how much his Father loves him. And it will seem |
| Tx:13.27 | there, he will remember how much his Father loves him. And it | will seem incredible that he has ever thought his Father loved him |
| Tx:13.27 | guilt is insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you | will not fear to look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly. |
| Tx:13.28 | dims your vision, and look past darkness to the holy place where you | will see the light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who |
| Tx:13.28 | Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His | Will is like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God, |
| Tx:13.30 | 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 brother |
| Tx:13.32 | look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see | will banish guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of |
| Tx:13.33 | My trust in you is without limit and without the fear that you | will hear me not. I thank the Father for your loveliness and for the |
| Tx:13.33 | thank the Father for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you | will let me offer to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is |
| Tx:13.34 | of the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness, | will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience |
| Tx:13.34 | will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience | will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your |
| Tx:13.34 | your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He | will never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand |
| Tx:13.34 | United in this praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven where we | will surely enter in our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, |
| Tx:13.36 | a war that could endanger freedom. Nothing destructive ever was or | will be. The war, the guilt, the past are gone as one into the |
| Tx:13.37 | When we are all united in Heaven, you | will value nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value |
| Tx:13.38 | The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you | will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to |
| Tx:13.38 | He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He | will make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His |
| Tx:13.38 | make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission | will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of God? |
| Tx:13.39 | to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's | Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has established |
| Tx:13.39 | whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You | will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does |
| Tx:13.40 | You | will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of |
| Tx:13.40 | what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you | will find the answer that makes the need for any differences |
| Tx:13.40 | makes the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own | will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it |
| Tx:13.40 | unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it | will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you |
| Tx:13.40 | will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you | will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want, |
| Tx:13.40 | that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit | will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God |
| Tx:13.40 | Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The | Will of God can fail in nothing. |
| Tx:13.41 | Have faith in only this one thing, and it | will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep |
| Tx:13.41 | weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean nothing. They | will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:13.41 | not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit | will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of God. If |
| Tx:13.41 | Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the | Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not |
| Tx:13.41 | not the Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You | will not keep what God would have removed, because it breaks |
| Tx:13.41 | communication with you with whom He would communicate. His voice | will be heard. |
| Tx:13.42 | reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace | will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose |
| Tx:13.42 | will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose | Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to |
| Tx:13.42 | you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit | will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn that it |
| Tx:13.43 | God willed you Heaven and | will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His |
| Tx:13.43 | God willed you Heaven and will always | will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There |
| Tx:13.43 | will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His | Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is |
| Tx:13.43 | Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven | will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as |
| Tx:13.43 | yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You | will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not |
| Tx:13.43 | He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you | will learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself |
| Tx:13.43 | is. You will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It | will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:13.43 | disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He | will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light |
| Tx:13.44 | be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. His sleep | will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption will |
| Tx:13.44 | sleep will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption | will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged |
| Tx:13.44 | mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation | will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know |
| Tx:13.44 | have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet the | Will of God must be accepted as your will to know it. |
| Tx:13.44 | make it so. It is so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as your | will to know it. |
| Tx:13.45 | kind of reconciliation in His Mind for you, and one which He | will effect as surely as the ego will not effect what it attempts. |
| Tx:13.45 | His Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the ego | will not effect what it attempts. |
| Tx:13.46 | the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone | will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you |
| Tx:13.46 | the salvation of everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You | will be released, and you will not remember anything you made that |
| Tx:13.46 | will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you | will not remember anything you made that was not created for you and |
| Tx:13.49 | truth is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You | will perceive the need for this if you will realize that to deny is |
| Tx:13.49 | and without direction. You will perceive the need for this if you | will realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of |
| Tx:13.51 | and not the truth, that he has chosen to defend and love. They | will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by him, for the |
| Tx:13.52 | Any direction which | will lead you where the Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. |
| Tx:13.52 | neither to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of the | will to live, which has been blocked by the capricious and unholy |
| Tx:13.52 | be shared. And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you | will not believe all that is possible to learn to do. |
| Tx:13.53 | you chose to deceive yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived | will merely attack direct approaches, which would seem but to |
| Tx:13.54 | to do what you can never do, believing that unless you learn it, you | will not be happy. You do not realize that the foundation on which |
| Tx:13.55 | Have faith in nothing, and you | will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another |
| Tx:13.55 | nothing, and you will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you | will add another burden to your mind, already burdened or you would |
| Tx:13.55 | mind, already burdened or you would not have sought another. You | will believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little |
| Tx:13.55 | have sought another. You will believe that nothing is of value and | will value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a body or a |
| Tx:13.56 | teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you | will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very |
| Tx:13.58 | faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I | will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will |
| Tx:13.58 | and I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You | will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will |
| Tx:13.58 | You will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you | will love it because you will understand it. |
| Tx:13.58 | there but only the simple truth. And you will love it because you | will understand it. |
| Tx:13.59 | is not what you have made, they see in you more than you see. They | will be happy learners of the lesson which this light brings to them |
| Tx:13.59 | chains have disappeared, and so they must have been nothing. And you | will see it with them. Because you taught them gladness and release, |
| Tx:13.59 | see it with them. Because you taught them gladness and release, they | will become your teachers in release and gladness. |
| Tx:13.60 | what seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You | will never learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this |
| Tx:13.61 | builded there is true and built on truth. The universe of learning | will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth |
| Tx:13.61 | you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you | will not look back. |
| Tx:13.63 | and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you | will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The vision of |
| Tx:13.63 | to be free of darkness. The light in you will waken them, and they | will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very |
| Tx:13.63 | all holy. The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling that you | will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is |
| Tx:13.64 | Learning | will be commensurate with motivation, and the interference in your |
| Tx:13.65 | is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in any form, | will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness and push it |
| Tx:13.66 | if you yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness and | will not learn how to be happy. Say therefore to yourself gently, but |
| Tx:13.67 | What I experience, I | will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to fear. I |
| Tx:13.69 | it by holding it against you. Whether he does this or does it not | will make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible to |
| Tx:13.69 | Whether 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 |
| Tx:13.70 | and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to teach it, as it | will be yours. |
| Tx:13.72 | in any mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You | will learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to |
| Tx:13.73 | for yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the decision | will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of decision |
| Tx:13.73 | you are thinking destructively, and the decision will be wrong. It | will hurt you because of the concept of decision which led to it. It |
| Tx:13.73 | Atonement are invulnerable. But those who believe they are guilty | will respond to guilt because they think it is salvation and will not |
| Tx:13.73 | guilty will respond to guilt because they think it is salvation and | will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They believe that |
| Tx:13.73 | [They believe that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they | will fail to understand the simple fact that what they do not want |
| Tx:13.74 | arises because they do not believe that what they want is good. Yet | will was given them because it is holy and will bring to them all |
| Tx:13.74 | they want is good. Yet will was given them because it is holy and | will bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally as peace |
| Tx:13.74 | as peace that knows no limits. There is nothing their wills | will not provide that offers them anything of value. Yet because they |
| Tx:13.74 | them anything of value. Yet because they do not understand their | will, the Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them |
| Tx:13.74 | Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they | will without effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding |
| Tx:13.75 | It | will never happen that you will have to make decisions for yourself. |
| Tx:13.75 | It will never happen that you | will have to make decisions for yourself. You are not bereft of help, |
| Tx:13.75 | that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything | will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done to |
| Tx:13.75 | when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He | will never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of |
| Tx:13.78 | salvation. He knows the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you | will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your will. Without |
| Tx:13.78 | With Him you will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your | will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and will |
| Tx:13.78 | learn what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you | will think you know alone and will decide against your peace as |
| Tx:13.78 | your will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and | will decide against your peace as surely as you made the wrong |
| Tx:13.78 | God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He | will make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace |
| Tx:13.79 | to do so is to evaluate his Father and judge against Him. And you | will feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this world |
| Tx:13.81 | Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for everyone who | will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone will be. |
| Tx:13.81 | who will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone | will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole responsibility for |
| Tx:13.84 | He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He | will never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust |
| Tx:13.86 | When you accept a brother's guiltlessness, you | will see the Atonement in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make |
| Tx:13.86 | in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make it yours, and you | will see what you sought. You will not see the symbol of your |
| Tx:13.86 | it in him, you make it yours, and you will see what you sought. You | will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining |
| Tx:13.86 | there. His guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant it to him, and you | will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is |
| Tx:13.87 | this, must you attain with God beside you. For until you do, you | will still think that you are separate from Him. You can feel His |
| Tx:13.88 | mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He | will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all |
| Tx:13.89 | You | will feel guilty till you learn this. For in the end, whatever form |
| Tx:13.89 | neither did He make them. When you release them, they are gone. God | will not fail nor ever has in anything. |
| Tx:13.90 | blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God | will Himself exchange your gift for His. |
| Tx:13.91 | the One 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 |
| Tx:13.92 | as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you | will be led as gently as if you were being carried along a quiet path |
| Tx:13.92 | Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit | will not delay at all in answering your every question what to do. He |
| Tx:13.92 | at all 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 |
| Tx:14.1 | Unless you are guiltless, you cannot know God, Whose | Will is that you know Him. Therefore, you must be guiltless. Yet if |
| Tx:14.6 | and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he | will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains |
| Tx:14.7 | of all that God created. Deny them not what is their due, for you | will not withhold it from them alone. |
| Tx:14.8 | given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you | will ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from |
| Tx:14.8 | Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt and | will experience it. Protect his purity from every thought that would |
| Tx:14.8 | the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So | will the world of separation slip away and full communication be |
| Tx:14.11 | in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You | will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. |
| Tx:14.11 | not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You | will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy lesson, which |
| Tx:14.11 | creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you | will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no |
| Tx:14.11 | learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you | will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what |
| Tx:14.15 | or for redemption. If you bring him into the circle of purity, you | will rest there with him. If you leave him without, you join him |
| Tx:14.17 | in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack | will always yield to love if it is brought to love, not hidden from |
| Tx:14.17 | not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love | will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence. What |
| Tx:14.18 | they keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful | will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the light |
| Tx:14.21 | would release you. Leave what you would communicate to Him. He | will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom |
| Tx:14.22 | your Interpreter perceives the meaning in your alien language. He | will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will separate |
| Tx:14.22 | language. He will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He | will separate out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and |
| Tx:14.23 | it. Therefore, keep no source of interference from His sight, for He | will not attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His |
| Tx:14.27 | to the desirable; what you do not want to what you do. You | will realize that salvation must come to you this way if you consider |
| Tx:14.28 | fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One | will go because the other is seen in the same place. Light cannot |
| Tx:14.28 | Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and | will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and |
| Tx:14.29 | the small extent of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You | will see how easily all that He asks can be accomplished. |
| Tx:14.30 | both of you together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He | will give it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining with |
| Tx:14.31 | that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him | will show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from |
| Tx:14.31 | shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you | will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so |
| Tx:14.31 | the world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your | will, accepting it as His, with all His love as yours. All honor to |
| Tx:14.33 | otherwise, great or small, however much or little valued, He | will replace with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the |
| Tx:14.33 | And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but | will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can |
| Tx:14.35 | you can only be brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He | will surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition. |
| Tx:14.36 | There is no substitute for truth. And truth | will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place where |
| Tx:14.37 | all of creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the | Will of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, |
| Tx:14.37 | together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father | will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God |
| Tx:14.37 | intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts | will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own. |
| Tx:14.39 | This cannot be undone. Undoing is for unreality. And this reality | will do for you. |
| Tx:14.40 | Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power | will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail with God |
| Tx:14.41 | quietly for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they | will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will take |
| Tx:14.41 | they 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 |
| Tx:14.41 | the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. There, fear of death | will be replaced with joy of living. For God is Life, and they abide |
| Tx:14.42 | of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God | will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself |
| Tx:14.44 | The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure and | will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not |
| Tx:14.46 | time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And you | will turn from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of |
| Tx:14.50 | [Therefore, it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It | will seem difficult for you to learn that you have no basis at all |
| Tx:14.53 | ego, if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it | will attack the form. You who believe you understand something of the |
| Tx:14.57 | must 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:14.57 | it. By supplying your identity wherever it is not recognized, you | will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son |
| Tx:14.57 | recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever, | will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love He holds for |
| Tx:14.57 | each recognition of His Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor | will the power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer |
| Tx:14.62 | take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He | will accept from you because you do not want it. And He will gladly |
| Tx:14.62 | light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And He | will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned |
| Tx:14.63 | absence of perfect peace means but one thing: you think you do not | will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson |
| Tx:14.63 | form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit | will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you |
| Tx:14.63 | the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you | will with the Father unto His Son. |
| Tx:14.65 | this, means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I | will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now. |
| Tx:14.66 | yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you | will speak to you. He will take His rightful place in your awareness |
| Tx:14.66 | do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you will speak to you. He | will take His rightful place in your awareness the instant you |
| Tx:14.67 | has been provided for you. God's Son can make no needs His Father | will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He cannot |
| Tx:14.71 | God's Son | will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do we |
| Tx:14.71 | before His lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you | will remember that you have always created like your Father. The |
| Tx:14.71 | ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the | Will of God for all creation, and all creation joins in willing this. |
| Tx:14.72 | they know nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything, | will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not |
| Tx:14.72 | everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they | will not learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning by |
| Tx:14.73 | peace they want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace | will depart from you because you have abandoned the Teacher of Peace. |
| Tx:14.73 | of Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, peace | will return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the |
| Tx:14.73 | you fully realize that you know not, peace will return, for you | will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of |
| Tx:14.73 | ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit | will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him. |
| Tx:14.74 | peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of peace | will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will never |
| Tx:14.74 | Teacher of peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He | will never reciprocate, for His faith in you is His understanding. It |
| Tx:14.74 | lies His holiness, which He cannot abandon, for it is not His | Will to do so. With your perfection ever in His sight, He gives the |
| Tx:14.74 | the need for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it | will come. For understanding is in you, and from it peace must come. |
| Tx:14.75 | it 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 |
| Tx:14.75 | so powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you | will find yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail |
| Tx:14.75 | Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power that nothing | will prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by which |
| Tx:14.75 | with power that nothing will prevail against your peace. And this | will be the test by which you recognize that you have understood. |
| Tx:15.1 | learner that you learn only of Him. When this has happened, you | will no longer need a teacher or time in which to learn. |
| Tx:15.5 | be separated, and because it cannot conceive of its own death, it | will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the ego's |
| Tx:15.7 | who considers himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment | will end in peace. |
| Tx:15.10 | From this holy instant wherein holiness was born again, you | will go forth in time without fear and with no sense of change with |
| Tx:15.11 | does not exist. In this redeeming instant lies Heaven. And Heaven | will not change, for the birth into the holy present is salvation |
| Tx:15.11 | holy instant in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you | will remember God. For remembering Him is to remember freedom. |
| Tx:15.13 | You | will never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of |
| Tx:15.13 | release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you offer and | will receive. They attest to your willingness to be released and to |
| Tx:15.16 | Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you | will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you will let go |
| Tx:15.16 | instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you | will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly |
| Tx:15.16 | instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit | will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time, |
| Tx:15.17 | be concerned with time and fear not the instant of holiness which | will remove all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because it |
| Tx:15.17 | instant of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It | will come, being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has |
| Tx:15.18 | God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and | will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed |
| Tx:15.18 | do not perceive the Source of strength. In the holy instant, you | will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support either their |
| Tx:15.19 | whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you | will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A Son of God who |
| Tx:15.19 | single instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you | will be sure you have. You will be sure because the witness to Him |
| Tx:15.19 | the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You | will be sure because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him |
| Tx:15.19 | will be sure you have. You will be sure because the witness to Him | will speak so clearly of Him that you will hear and understand. |
| Tx:15.19 | because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him that you | will hear and understand. |
| Tx:15.20 | You | will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released |
| Tx:15.20 | whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you | will doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet |
| Tx:15.20 | doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it | will, and you will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of |
| Tx:15.20 | The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you | will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is |
| Tx:15.20 | other way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and | will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering |
| Tx:15.20 | much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance, which | will literally blind you to this world by its own vision, you cannot |
| Tx:15.21 | to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. You | will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to |
| Tx:15.21 | to begin to experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you | will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson will |
| Tx:15.21 | you will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson | will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will depart |
| Tx:15.21 | His lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that | will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the |
| Tx:15.21 | of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you | will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the |
| Tx:15.22 | When you strive for anything in this world with the belief that it | will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding |
| Tx:15.22 | glory are the choices open to your striving and your vigilance. You | will always choose one at the expense of the other. |
| Tx:15.23 | choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose littleness and you | will not have peace, for you will have judged yourself unworthy of |
| Tx:15.23 | of yourself. Choose littleness and you will not have peace, for you | will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer as a |
| Tx:15.23 | content you. You are free to try as many as you wish, but all you | will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you will be content |
| Tx:15.23 | wish, but all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you | will be content only in magnitude, which is your home. |
| Tx:15.24 | and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson | will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you |
| Tx:15.24 | remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you | will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and |
| Tx:15.24 | Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you | will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is |
| Tx:15.26 | The power of God | will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search |
| Tx:15.27 | with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and | will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit can |
| Tx:15.30 | you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when | will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace? |
| Tx:15.32 | Decide with me, who have decided to abide with you. I | will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace |
| Tx:15.32 | decided to abide with you. I will as my Father wills, knowing His | Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You will be |
| Tx:15.32 | knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You | will be content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less, |
| Tx:15.32 | peace forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His | Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. |
| Tx:15.32 | no more can you. When you have learned to accept what you are, you | will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you |
| Tx:15.32 | you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you | will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept |
| Tx:15.32 | need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you | will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to |
| Tx:15.33 | God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation | will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for |
| Tx:15.33 | bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus | will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will you |
| Tx:15.33 | Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus | will you remember it. |
| Tx:15.34 | that 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, |
| Tx:15.35 | this means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His | Will is so. The holy instant is this one and every one. The one you |
| Tx:15.35 | it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, in which you | will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your |
| Tx:15.36 | willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude | will dawn upon you is but as far away as your desire for it. As long |
| Tx:15.36 | instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it | will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in |
| Tx:15.36 | that you have made for your salvation in exchange for God's. His | will content you, and there is nothing else that can bring you peace. |
| Tx:15.37 | plan of salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His | Will for you in your own minds. And yet it is your mind that is the |
| Tx:15.38 | is the holy altar on which your Father has placed Himself? This you | will recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly |
| Tx:15.39 | to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy instant | will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours at once, |
| Tx:15.40 | Do not obscure the simplicity of this reason, for if you do, it | will be only because you prefer not to recognize it and not to let it |
| Tx:15.42 | received with equal willingness, being the acceptance of the single | will that governs all thought. |
| Tx:15.43 | it would not be Atonement if there were no need for Atonement. You | will not be able to accept perfect communication as long as you would |
| Tx:15.44 | all your awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. Thus | will He make you ready to acknowledge that you are host to God and |
| Tx:15.49 | He can translate them into holiness by removing as much fear as you | will let Him. You can place any relationship under His care and be |
| Tx:15.49 | You can place any relationship under His care and be sure that it | will not result in pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it |
| Tx:15.52 | and them. In the holy instant, you see in each relationship what it | will be when you perceive only the present. |
| Tx:15.56 | in yourself. And this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there | will be guilt as long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, |
| Tx:15.62 | He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy instant | will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the Holy |
| Tx:15.62 | it not. And through me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you | will give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your need of |
| Tx:15.62 | you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you | will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God share |
| Tx:15.62 | aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by this recognition you | will join with me in offering what is needed. |

| Tx:15.63 | If you would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you | will learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning |
| Tx:15.63 | the language of communication, which you know perfectly, you | will not remember. |
| Tx:15.64 | brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God | will take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the |
| Tx:15.64 | and the power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you | will experience the full communication of ideas with ideas. Through |
| Tx:15.64 | of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you | will learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what |
| Tx:15.64 | your ability to do this, you will learn what you must be, for you | will begin to understand what your Creator is and what His creation |
| Tx:15.67 | completely in the dark. As we bring it to light, your only question | will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have nothing to lose by |
| Tx:15.68 | intentions. It counsels, therefore, that if you are host to it, it | will enable you to direct the anger that it holds outward, thus |
| Tx:15.69 | let the Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you | will look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can |
| Tx:15.69 | them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them, you | will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not |
| Tx:15.69 | gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know, but you | will become willing to find out if you are willing, first, to |
| Tx:15.74 | Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who | will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt |
| Tx:15.74 | only need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt | will remain attractive to you. |
| Tx:15.75 | to be with a body is not communication. And if you think it is, you | will feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the |
| Tx:15.75 | And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and | will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your |
| Tx:15.75 | alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by communicating you | will be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you think that your |
| Tx:15.75 | it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you | will lose them, and if your bodies are together your minds remain |
| Tx:15.76 | As long as you believe that to be with a body is companionship, you | will be compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his body, held |
| Tx:15.76 | to keep your brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you | will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego |
| Tx:15.76 | will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego | will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that |
| Tx:15.77 | communication is damnation that communication is salvation. And He | will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is joined in real |
| Tx:15.79 | which He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He | will teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your |
| Tx:15.80 | You but seek in them what you have thrown away. And through them you | will never learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you |
| Tx:15.80 | need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share and | will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The will of your |
| Tx:15.80 | Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The | will of your creations calls to you to share your will with them. |
| Tx:15.80 | alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to share your | will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to God and them. |
| Tx:15.81 | Relate only with what | will never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of |
| Tx:15.81 | Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's love. He | will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your |
| Tx:15.83 | He does not understand. And because of the Source of the attempt, it | will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He |
| Tx:15.84 | by removing every element of disagreement, to join them into one. He | will do this because it is His function. Leave, then, what seems to |
| Tx:15.84 | be impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the | Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the |
| Tx:15.85 | it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you | will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it |
| Tx:15.85 | will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it | will not leave you, for it is permanent. For once you have accepted |
| Tx:15.85 | it is the only step in it He understands. Therefore, in this there | will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready now, but you |
| Tx:15.86 | be unlimited in order to have meaning, and deprived of meaning, it | will not satisfy you completely. Yet it remains the only means by |
| Tx:15.87 | a body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you | will choose to utilize the means by which it tries to turn its |
| Tx:15.87 | by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This | will never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the |
| Tx:15.87 | recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable, | will strive for them with all its might and will do so with the |
| Tx:15.87 | altogether unattainable, will strive for them with all its might and | will do so with the strength which you have given it. |
| Tx:15.88 | ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his body, which you | will do as long as you would not release him from it, and you have |
| Tx:15.89 | speak of this and long remain willing to linger here. For it is your | will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in such sure |
| Tx:15.91 | you place no value on it as a means for getting anything, then there | will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts will be |
| Tx:15.91 | there will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts | will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to |
| Tx:15.91 | its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you | will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy instant |
| Tx:15.92 | gift I can accept of you is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I | will your release. The time of Christ we celebrate together, for it |
| Tx:15.93 | restored to him. What other gift can you offer me, when only this I | will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer |
| Tx:15.94 | When you are willing to accept our relationship as real, guilt | will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept |
| Tx:15.94 | real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you | will accept all of our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift |
| Tx:15.97 | is treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The ego | will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would make |
| Tx:15.97 | would make it homeless. For when this recognition dawns clearly, you | will not be deceived by any form the ego takes to protect itself from |
| Tx:15.98 | Each form | will be recognized as but a cover for the one idea that hides behind |
| Tx:15.99 | you and does demand total sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice | will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but seems to |
| Tx:15.100 | You | will not succeed in being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no |
| Tx:15.100 | would leave you nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You | will have to choose between total freedom and total bondage, for |
| Tx:15.103 | for release is total, and when you have accepted it with me, you | will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will |
| Tx:15.103 | me, you will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness | will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as our |
| Tx:15.103 | innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain | will be brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain |
| Tx:15.105 | As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long | will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will |
| Tx:15.105 | long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long | will you also perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified |
| Tx:15.107 | means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you | will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and |
| Tx:15.108 | in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so | will you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than |
| 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 |
| Tx:15.110 | perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing | will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say and |
| Tx:15.110 | do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you | will make complete and not destroy. Say and understand this: |
| Tx:15.111 | I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you | will be released, unless I want to use you to imprison myself. In the |
| Tx:15.111 | I want to use you to imprison myself. In the name of my freedom I | will your release, because I recognize that we will be released |
| Tx:15.111 | name of my freedom I will your release, because I recognize that we | will be released together. |
| Tx:15.112 | So | will the year begin in joy and freedom. There is much to do, and we |
| Tx:15.112 | And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is our | will. Amen. |
| Tx:16.2 | know what empathizing means. Yet of this you may be sure—if you | will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through |
| Tx:16.2 | sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through you, you | will empathize with strength and both of you will gain in strength, |
| Tx:16.2 | relate through you, you will empathize with strength and both of you | will gain in strength, and not in weakness. |
| Tx:16.3 | you do not want anything you value to come of the relationship. You | will neither to hurt it nor to heal it in your own way. You do not |
| Tx:16.5 | True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You | will learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity |
| Tx:16.5 | you let Him use your capacity for strength and not for weakness. He | will not desert you, but be sure that you desert not him. Humility is |
| Tx:16.5 | and accept the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He | will do His part because you have never yet done yours completely. |
| Tx:16.5 | do His part because you have never yet done yours completely. You | will not know how to respond to what you do not understand. Be |
| Tx:16.6 | learner; He the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this | will never bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it |
| Tx:16.7 | thing that would hurt either him or you, for what would hurt one | will hurt the other. Foolish requests are foolish for the simple |
| Tx:16.7 | Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He | will teach you how to meet both without losing either. |
| Tx:16.8 | You | will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will think that, by |
| 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:16.8 | That is not the way, for it leads not to light and truth. No needs | will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose function |
| Tx:16.8 | function is to meet them. That is His function and not yours. He | will not meet them secretly, for He would share everything you give |
| Tx:16.9 | whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He | will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your relationships and |
| Tx:16.16 | No evidence | will convince you of the truth of what you do not want. Yet your |
| Tx:16.16 | For you have come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you | will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay this now but |
| Tx:16.16 | The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again | will you be wholly willing not to listen. |
| Tx:16.17 | This is a year of joy in which your listening | will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The power of |
| Tx:16.17 | is a year of joy in which your listening will increase, and peace | will grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the weakness |
| Tx:16.19 | to accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and | will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have never |
| Tx:16.19 | given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor | will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything yourself |
| Tx:16.21 | have not learned how to accept the comfort of your teaching. If you | will consider what you have taught and how alien it is to what you |
| Tx:16.21 | have taught and how alien it is to what you thought you knew, you | will be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from beyond |
| Tx:16.25 | you 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 |
| Tx:16.27 | This year you | will begin to learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You |
| Tx:16.27 | 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 learner, who |
| Tx:16.27 | you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is, | will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His power and |
| Tx:16.27 | teaches you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you | will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His |
| Tx:16.28 | powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven and by the united | will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined within it. And |
| Tx:16.29 | the attraction of those who stand on the other side and wait for you | will not draw you safely across. For you will come where you would be |
| Tx:16.29 | other side and wait for you will not draw you safely across. For you | will come where you would be and where your Self awaits you. |
| Tx:16.30 | solely to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation | will rise clearly before your open eyes as you look on this. You |
| Tx:16.30 | look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love relationship | will not offset it but will merely drive it underground and out of |
| Tx:16.30 | limit hate. The special love relationship will not offset it but | will merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to |
| Tx:16.30 | that lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the split | will remain unrecognized and therefore unhealed. |
| Tx:16.31 | and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. You | will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and will at last |
| Tx:16.31 | everything. You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and | will at last emerge as yourself. This is the last step in the |
| Tx:16.31 | readiness for God. Be not unwilling now. You are too near, and you | will cross the bridge in perfect safety, translated quietly from war |
| Tx:16.31 | translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of love | will never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other |
| Tx:16.31 | never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side, | will give you everything. |
| Tx:16.34 | both illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long | will love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which |
| Tx:16.35 | that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace | will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality. |
| Tx:16.38 | Across the bridge is your completion, for you | will be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be |
| Tx:16.39 | must lead to knowledge, for it was built with God beside you and | will lead you straight to Him, where your completion rests wholly |
| Tx:16.41 | all 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:16.44 | to be a weapon, but if you consider how you value it and why, you | will realize what it must be. The special love relationship is the |
| Tx:16.50 | each other, the ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one | will recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he will not |
| Tx:16.50 | For neither one will recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he | will not interfere with the ego's illusion of Heaven, which it |
| Tx:16.53 | and over this ritual is enacted. And it is never completed nor ever | will be completed. For the ritual of completion cannot complete, and |
| Tx:16.54 | the expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and there | will never be. The special relationship must be recognized for what |
| Tx:16.56 | to which you fail to recognize them for what they are, and you | will fail to do this to the extent to which you want them to be true. |
| Tx:16.56 | between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you | will have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it is |
| Tx:16.58 | easiest decision that ever confronted you and also the only one. You | will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize |
| Tx:16.58 | only one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you | will recognize that God is on the other side and nothing at all is |
| Tx:16.59 | it is. Love has no meaning except as its Creator defined it by His | Will. It is impossible to define it otherwise and understand it. |
| Tx:16.60 | union in separation nor for freedom in bondage! As you release, so | will you be released. Forget this not, or love will be unable to find |
| Tx:16.60 | As you release, so will you be released. Forget this not, or love | will be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which |
| Tx:16.61 | you value it, you must also value the body. And what you value, you | will keep. The special relationship is a device for limiting your |
| Tx:16.63 | the value of the body is so diminished in your sight that you | will see no need at all to magnify it. For you will realize that the |
| Tx:16.63 | your sight that you will see no need at all to magnify it. For you | will realize that the only value which the body has is to enable you |
| Tx:16.65 | Fear not that you | will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and |
| Tx:16.65 | hurled into reality. Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it | will keep gentle pace with you in your transition. The urgency is |
| Tx:16.65 | only in dislodging your minds from their fixed position here. This | will not leave you homeless and without a frame of reference. The |
| Tx:16.65 | the time it took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay | will hurt you now more than before only because you realize it is |
| Tx:16.66 | of your reality to enter your minds, and because you invited it, it | will abide with you. Your love for it will not allow you to betray |
| Tx:16.66 | and because you invited it, it will abide with you. Your love for it | will not allow you to betray yourself, and you could not enter into a |
| Tx:16.68 | The new perspective you | will gain from crossing over will be the understanding of where |
| Tx:16.68 | The new perspective you will gain from crossing over | will be the understanding of where Heaven is. From here it seems to |
| Tx:16.68 | to be outside and across the bridge. Yet as you cross to join it, it | will join with you and become one with you. And you will think in |
| Tx:16.68 | to 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 |
| Tx:16.68 | of God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the way, as it | will surely do if you but let it come to you. |
| Tx:16.76 | all respects between your experience of truth and illusion. Yet you | will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the |
| Tx:16.76 | attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit | will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring with you |
| Tx:16.76 | prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring with you | will weaken the experience of Him for a while and will prevent you |
| Tx:16.76 | you bring with you will weaken the experience of Him for a while and | will prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the |
| Tx:16.76 | 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:16.77 | What God has given you is truly given and | will be truly received. For God's gifts have no reality apart from |
| Tx:16.77 | from your receiving them. Your receiving completes His giving. You | will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy instant |
| Tx:16.77 | receiving completes His giving. You will receive because it is His | Will to give. He gave the holy instant to be given you, and it is |
| Tx:16.77 | His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son | will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy |
| Tx:16.78 | by forgiving them for the illusions which you perceive in them. Thus | will you learn that you have been forgiven, for it is you who offered |
| Tx:16.79 | would destroy. The power of God and all His Love, without limit, | will support you as you seek only your place in the plan of Atonement |
| Tx:16.80 | as great or small, possible or impossible. There is nothing that | will not give place to Him and to His majesty. To join in close |
| Tx:16.81 | into temptation, for the temptation of the Son of God is not Your | will. And let us receive only what you have given and accept but this |
| Tx:17.4 | As long as you would have it so, so long | will the illusion of order of difficulty in miracles remain with you. |
| Tx:17.6 | and in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation | will be complete or will be not at all.] Be not concerned with |
| Tx:17.6 | is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or | will be not at all.] Be not concerned with anything except your |
| Tx:17.6 | anything except your willingness to have this be accomplished. He | will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you become |
| Tx:17.6 | him, you restore to truth what was denied by both of you. And you | will see forgiveness where you have given it. |
| Tx:17.7 | Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive | will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so |
| Tx:17.7 | here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And nothing | will you value like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you |
| Tx:17.7 | has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight | will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the |
| Tx:17.7 | a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you | will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy |
| Tx:17.7 | this sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You | will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to look upon and |
| Tx:17.8 | through time into eternity and beyond all ugliness into beauty that | will enchant you and will never cease to cause you wonderment at its |
| Tx:17.8 | and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you and | will never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection. |
| Tx:17.10 | The stars | will disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the world to |
| Tx:17.10 | disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the world to beauty | will vanish. Perception will be meaningless when it has been |
| Tx:17.10 | the sun which opened up the world to beauty will vanish. Perception | will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for everything that |
| Tx:17.10 | has been perfected, for everything that has been used for learning | will have no function. Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor |
| Tx:17.10 | that has been used for learning will have no function. Nothing | will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no |
| Tx:17.10 | no differences, no variations which made perception possible | will occur. The perception of the real world will be so short that |

| Tx:17.10 | occur. The perception 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 |
| Tx:17.10 | so short 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 |
| Tx:17.11 | you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of perception | will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made |
| Tx:17.11 | the light of the real reason which He brings, as you follow Him, He | will show you that there is no reason here at all. Each spot His |
| Tx:17.12 | All this beauty | will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with |
| Tx:17.12 | he knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even salvation | will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the |
| Tx:17.12 | For salvation is the end of dreams and with the closing of the dream | will have no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there |
| Tx:17.13 | How much do you want salvation? It | will give you the real world, trembling with readiness to be given |
| Tx:17.14 | to demonstrate he did what he did not. Because you brought them, you | will hear them. And you who kept them by your own selection do not |
| Tx:17.15 | only that you may return evil for evil, hoping that their witness | will enable you to think guiltily of another and not harm yourself. |

| Tx:17.21 | of beauty in your relationships and show it to you. Its loveliness | will so attract you that you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight |
| Tx:17.21 | and show it to you. Its loveliness will so attract you that you | will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it again. And you will |
| Tx:17.21 | you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it again. And you | will let it transform the relationship so you can see it more and |
| Tx:17.21 | transform the relationship so you can see it more and more. For you | will want it more and more and become increasingly unwilling to let |
| Tx:17.21 | become increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you | will learn to seek for and establish conditions in which this beauty |
| Tx:17.22 | All this you | will do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark before you to light |
| Tx:17.25 | that to choose one is to let the other go. Which one you choose you | will endow with beauty and reality because the choice depends on |
| Tx:17.28 | but would transform them. And by that all that is meant is that He | will restore to them the function given them by God. The function you |
| Tx:17.28 | special relationship which you have made is a substitute for God's | Will and glorifies yours instead of His because of the delusion that |
| Tx:17.29 | purpose the aim of occupying your minds so completely that you | will not hear the call of truth. In a sense the special relationship |
| Tx:17.32 | you have been more willing to let go. While this one remains, you | will not let the others go. For this one is not different. Retain |
| Tx:17.35 | This gift is given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you | will believe that you are damned. You cannot have the frame without |
| Tx:17.37 | is a picture, too, set in a frame. Yet if you accept this gift, you | will not see the frame at all because the gift can only be accepted |
| Tx:17.37 | set in a frame of time. If you focus on the picture, you | will realize that it was only the frame that made you think it was a |
| Tx:17.40 | just a picture is brought home at last. And what you see there, you | will recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was real |
| Tx:17.40 | you thought was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you | will see nothing. |
| Tx:17.42 | As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you | will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be |

| Tx:17.49 | a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this will go, and you | will see the justification for your faith emerge to bring you shining |
| Tx:17.50 | to you as you perceive its purpose work in it to make it holy. You | will find many opportunities to blame each other for the “failure” of |
| Tx:17.50 | to blame each other for the “failure” of your relationship, for it | will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness will |
| Tx:17.50 | for it will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness | will come to haunt you and to remind you of all the ways you once |
| Tx:17.51 | far more familiar than you now believe. Is it not certain that you | will remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have |
| Tx:17.52 | holy instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice | will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your holy |
| Tx:17.55 | Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the goal itself | will gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this |
| Tx:17.56 | Yet the goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the means | will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will |
| Tx:17.56 | means will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you | will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to |
| Tx:17.56 | and accept the gifts you have so freely given to each other, you | will also accept the effects of the holy instant and use them to |
| Tx:17.56 | mistakes and free you from their results. And learning this, you | will have also learned how to release all the Sonship and offer it in |

| Tx:17.58 | of the goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which | will determine the outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed. |
| Tx:17.59 | at it and try to piece together what it must have meant. And you | will be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the past, but you have no |
| Tx:17.60 | of deciding in advance what you want to happen is simply that you | will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen. You will |
| Tx:17.60 | you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen. You | will therefore make every effort to overlook what interferes with the |
| Tx:17.61 | experience peace, it is because the truth has come to you, and you | will see the outcome truly, for deception cannot prevail against you. |
| Tx:17.61 | the outcome truly, for deception cannot prevail against you. And you | will recognize the outcome because you are at peace. Here again, you |
| Tx:17.62 | a whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it | will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one |
| Tx:17.62 | will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one | will fail in anything. This seems to ask for faith beyond you and |
| Tx:17.63 | any aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the ego | will attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And |
| Tx:17.63 | attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it | will seem to be successful, except that this attempt conflicts with |
| Tx:17.63 | conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of truth. And peace | will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not come because |
| Tx:17.65 | There is no problem in any situation that faith | will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but |
| Tx:17.65 | will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but | will make solution impossible. For if you shift part of the problem |
| Tx:17.66 | which then becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You | will make this error, but be not at all concerned with that. The |
| Tx:17.66 | with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness brought to faith | will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against truth |
| Tx:17.66 | never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against truth | will always destroy faith. If you lack faith, ask that it be restored |
| Tx:17.67 | must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's reality | will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not |
| Tx:17.67 | that has been set. The goal's reality will call this forth, for you | will see that peace and faith will not come separately. What |
| Tx:17.67 | reality will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith | will not come separately. What situation can you be in without faith |
| Tx:17.68 | servant of illusion and wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it | will carry you straight to illusions. Be tempted not by what it |

| Tx:17.69 | Nothing too small or too enormous, too weak or too compelling, but | will be gently turned to its use and purpose. The universe will serve |
| Tx:17.69 | but will be gently turned to its use and purpose. The universe | will serve it gladly, as it serves the universe. But do not interfere. |
| Tx:17.72 | other, or you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith | will call the others to share your purpose, as this same purpose |
| Tx:17.72 | purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you | will see the means you once employed to lead you to illusions |
| Tx:17.72 | placed there was extended to every situation in which you enter or | will ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the past, |
| Tx:17.75 | faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it | will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But |
| Tx:17.78 | is your only purpose. See only this in every situation, and it | will be a means for bringing only this. |
| Tx:17.79 | what he does not believe is real. Your purpose has not changed and | will not change, for you accepted what can never change. And nothing |
| Tx:18.6 | rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but love,” and it | will disappear. |
| Tx:18.7 | The truth | will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad world and |
| Tx:18.9 | you are with Him. The original error has not entered here, nor ever | will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:18.13 | is offered you in your holy relationship. Accept it here, and you | will give as you have accepted. The peace of God is given you with |
| Tx:18.16 | a time, it seems as if the world were given you, to make it what you | will. You do not realize that you are attacking it, trying to triumph |
| Tx:18.19 | waking. And while you see more value in sleeping than in waking, you | will not let go of it. |
| Tx:18.20 | a help to make His purpose real to you.] Your special relationship | will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of |
| Tx:18.20 | a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It | will not be for you alone, for therein lay its misery. As its |
| Tx:18.20 | its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness | will become an offering to everyone. |
| Tx:18.21 | Your special relationship | will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your |
| Tx:18.21 | undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It | will be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who come |
| Tx:18.21 | your holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you | will share with all who come within your sight. Through it, the |
| Tx:18.21 | Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it | will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the |
| Tx:18.21 | who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He | will waken everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. |
| Tx:18.23 | your mind, so do the real world and the truth of Heaven join in the | Will of God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to its |
| Tx:18.23 | is easily transferred to its reality. For this dream comes from your | will joined with the Will of God. And what this will would have |
| Tx:18.23 | to its reality. For this dream comes from your will joined with the | Will of God. And what this will would have accomplished has never not |
| Tx:18.23 | comes from your will joined with the Will of God. And what this | will would have accomplished has never not been done. |
| Tx:18.25 | As the light comes nearer, you | will rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating |
| Tx:18.25 | to the lesser forms of fear and sometimes to stark terror. But you | will advance because your goal is the advance from fear to truth. You |
| Tx:18.25 | back. Let us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it | will be enough to remind you that your goal is light. Truth has |
| Tx:18.27 | not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to each other. You | will succeed only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given |
| Tx:18.27 | the wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The | Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever |
| Tx:18.28 | Each instant that we spend together | will teach you that this goal is possible and will strengthen your |
| Tx:18.28 | that we spend together will teach you that this goal is possible and | will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in your desire lies its |
| Tx:18.28 | is now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's | will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate |
| Tx:18.28 | footsteps that you may take can separate your desire from His | Will and from His strength. I hold your hand as surely as you agreed |
| Tx:18.28 | I hold your hand as surely as you agreed to take each other's. You | will not separate, for I stand with you and walk with you in your |

| Tx:18.32 | Do not attempt to give the Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you | will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but little. It |
| Tx:18.34 | Humility | will never ask that you remain content with littleness. But it does |
| Tx:18.34 | cannot enter where He wills to be, you must be interfering with His | Will. You do not need the strength of willingness to come from you, |
| Tx:18.34 | need the strength of willingness to come from you, but only from His | Will. |
| Tx:18.35 | of your small willingness combined with the unlimited power of God's | Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is needful to prepare |
| Tx:18.38 | And that is all. Add more and you | will merely take away the little that is asked. Remember you made |
| Tx:18.38 | to it and make salvation fearful. And it is only fear that you | will add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the |
| Tx:18.40 | and easy for you impossible. What you believe to be impossible | will be if God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. |
| Tx:18.40 | you believe to be impossible will be if God so wills it, but you | will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the holy instant is |
| Tx:18.42 | be forgiven. On your little faith, joined with His understanding, He | will build your part in the Atonement and make sure that you fulfill |
| Tx:18.42 | Atonement and make sure that you fulfill it easily. And with Him you | will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of faith and rising |
| Tx:18.42 | planted in the solid rock of faith and rising even to Heaven. Nor | will you use it to ascend to Heaven alone. |
| Tx:18.43 | blessed in every holy instant which you do not arrange, thousands | will rise to Heaven with you. Can you plan for this? Or could you |
| Tx:18.43 | for such a function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor | will He change His Mind about it. The means and purpose both belong |
| Tx:18.43 | and purpose both belong to Him. You have accepted one; the other | will be provided. A purpose such as this without the means is |
| Tx:18.43 | A purpose such as this without the means is inconceivable. He | will provide the means to anyone who shares His purpose. |
| Tx:18.44 | they are happy. And so they must be loving. Their message is, “Thy | will be done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The alignment of means |
| Tx:18.45 | very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It | will become the happy dream through which He can spread joy to |
| Tx:18.45 | He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you, and nothing | will be wanting that would make of it what He would have it be. |
| Tx:18.46 | this instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He | will never fail in this. But forget not that your relationship is |

| Tx:18.59 | If you will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you | will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a |
| Tx:18.62 | a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For peace | will join you there simply because you have been willing to let go |
| Tx:18.64 | this instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you | will see the body again, but never quite the same. And every instant |
| Tx:18.66 | aimed at detachment from the body necessary. All such attempts | will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means are |
| Tx:18.67 | Your way | will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy relationship |
| Tx:18.68 | Here is the ultimate release which everyone | will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not need |
| Tx:18.68 | a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you | will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation or |
| Tx:18.69 | Into this place the Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He | will remain when you forget and the body's activities return to |
| Tx:18.70 | Yet there | will always be this place of rest to which you can return. And you |
| Tx:18.70 | will always be this place of rest to which you can return. And you | will be more aware of this quiet center of the storm than all its |
| Tx:18.70 | all its raging activity. This quiet center, in which you do nothing, | will remain with you, giving you rest in the midst of every busy |
| Tx:18.70 | of every busy doing on which you are sent. For from this center | will you be directed how to use the body sinlessly. It is this |
| Tx:18.70 | sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent, that | will keep it so in your awareness of it. |
| Tx:18.72 | know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny senses, you | will not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot come into a |

| Tx:18.79 | Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this holy place, but they | will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with |
| Tx:18.79 | not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with them | will stay with them, as it will stay with you. And under its |
| Tx:18.79 | alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as it | will stay with you. And under its beneficence, your little garden |

| Tx:18.80 | gently to your quiet garden and receive their blessing there. So | will it grow and stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely little |
| Tx:18.80 | kingdoms locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you | will recognize yourself and see your little garden gently transformed |
| Tx:18.81 | Love's answer is inevitable. It | will come because you came without the body and interposed no |
| Tx:18.81 | offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you | will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the tiny aspect |
| Tx:18.81 | Asking for everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self | will lift the tiny aspect which you tried to hide from Heaven |
| Tx:18.82 | yet let go of all the barriers you hold against each other. And you | will not be able to give love welcome separately. You could no more |
| Tx:18.83 | between you. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it | will fall away. And walk into the garden love has prepared for both |
| Tx:18.88 | which must always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes | will never look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates. |

| Tx:18.95 | whoever attains the real world, beyond which learning cannot go, | will go beyond it but in a different way. Where learning ends there |
| Tx:18.97 | of all that lies beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it | will be remembered. |
| Tx:18.98 | memory of God has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you | will remember nothing else, and memory will be as useless as |

| Tx:18.98 | and memory will be as useless as learning, for your only purpose | will be creating. Yet this you cannot know until every perception has |
| Tx:19.1 | can be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith | will never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its |
| Tx:19.4 | illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body | will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of healing |
| Tx:19.6 | into little parts of seeming wholeness but without connection. This | will not harm the body, but it will keep the delusional thought |
| Tx:19.6 | but without connection. This will not harm the body, but it | will keep the delusional thought system in the mind. |
| Tx:19.8 | Truth and illusion have no connection. This | will remain forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But |
| Tx:19.14 | both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it together. There | will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again |
| Tx:19.14 | as it was made again through faith. And there it is that you | will realize that there is nothing faith cannot forgive. No error |
| Tx:19.15 | As faithlessness | will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith |
| Tx:19.15 | faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so | will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy |
| Tx:19.15 | goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth | will stay forever. |
| Tx:19.17 | that minds, not bodies, can attack. And thus the mind is guilty and | will forever so remain unless a mind not part of it can give it |
| Tx:19.18 | what God created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the | Will of God open to opposition and defeat. Sin is the “grand |

| Tx:19.25 | the acting out, but while the guilt remains attractive the mind | will suffer and not let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still calls |
| Tx:19.25 | its sick appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that cannot be corrected and | will be forever desirable. As an essential part of what the ego |
| Tx:19.25 | desirable. As an essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you | will always want it. And only an avenger with a mind unlike your own |
| Tx:19.26 | must be punished must be true. And what is true must be eternal and | will be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is real you want and |
| Tx:19.26 | will be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is real you want and | will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is not attractive. |
| Tx:19.27 | And suddenly you change its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you | will not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go unless the |
| Tx:19.27 | its status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat it; you | will merely stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you |
| Tx:19.27 | merely stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you | will but change the form of sin, granting that it was an error but |
| Tx:19.29 | which can be easily corrected in the mind, although the body's eyes | will see no change. The eyes see many things the mind corrects, and |
| Tx:19.32 | that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you | will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you |
| Tx:19.32 | will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you | will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the |
| Tx:19.33 | For there would be a power beyond God's, capable of making another | will which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a |
| Tx:19.33 | beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack His | Will and overcome it and give His Son a will apart from His and |
| Tx:19.33 | will which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a | will apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's fragmented |

| Tx:19.34 | smile upon your lips and Heaven's blessing on your sight. You | will not see it long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it |
| Tx:19.34 | and quickly given to correction to be healed, not hidden. You | will be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give |
| Tx:19.34 | the instant that you give it no power over each other. And you | will help each other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one |
| Tx:19.35 | In the holy instant, you | will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. And you will |

| Tx:19.35 | in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been given you. For sin | will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your |
| Tx:19.35 | your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven | will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were sightless |

| Tx:19.37 | happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you | will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who |
| Tx:19.38 | You | will not wait to give him this, for you will call to him and he will |

| Tx:19.38 | will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call of God. And you | will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you. All this |
| Tx:19.38 | will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you. All this | will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply within must |
| Tx:19.38 | expand and flow across the obstacles you placed before it. This | will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains |
| Tx:19.38 | the Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you | will rest in Him. He answered you and entered your relationship. |
| Tx:19.39 | Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them | will show you all that you need to see. When the peace in you has |
| Tx:19.39 | been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here | will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing then? When God |
| Tx:19.39 | then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy Spirit | will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him |
| Tx:19.39 | before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father | will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in the |
| Tx:19.41 | its going forth. This little wall of hatred would still oppose the | Will of God and keep it limited. |

| Tx:19.53 | what they hold dear as are the others. If you send them forth, they | will see only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the |
| Tx:19.53 | only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the kind. They | will be as careful to let no little act of charity, no tiny |
| Tx:19.53 | forgiveness, no little breath of love escape their notice. And they | will return with all the happy things they found, to share them |
| Tx:19.54 | the Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you | will see fear no more. The world will be transformed before your |
| Tx:19.54 | wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more. The world | will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and |
| Tx:19.55 | as they join in gentleness before the table of communion. And I | will join you there, as long ago I promised and promise still. For in |
| Tx:19.57 | what you want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you | will also believe that it can bring you pain. |
| Tx:19.63 | else. The second obstacle is no more solid than the first. For you | will neither to get rid of peace nor limit it. What are these |
| Tx:19.63 | peace and its going forth but barriers you place between your | will and its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of |
| Tx:19.64 | our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. We | will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand within the gates |
| Tx:19.65 | the Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he | will remember who he is and forget what never was. I ask for your |
| Tx:19.66 | the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world | will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness |
| Tx:19.67 | and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So | will you learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom to each |
| Tx:19.67 | Him it is possible that our communion, where we are joined already, | will be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all |
| Tx:19.67 | we are joined already, will be the focus of the new perception that | will bring light to all the world, contained in you. |
| Tx:19.68 | so am I. And He Who is our home is homeless with us. Is this your | will? Would you forever be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you |
| Tx:19.69 | is forever kind, infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It | will accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with |
| Tx:19.69 | It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body | will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you |
| Tx:19.70 | Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it | will come with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from |
| Tx:19.70 | mistaken in what is faithful. And the correction of your mistake | will give you grounds for faith. |
| Tx:19.71 | and whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It | will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure |
| Tx:19.71 | will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure | will be the same as pain. |
| Tx:19.72 | Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the body | will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt |
| Tx:19.74 | from you in the belief that for your message of attack and guilt | will someone other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet |
| Tx:19.74 | other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet someone else | will suffer more. The great deceiver recognizes that this is not so, |
| Tx:19.79 | This is not arrogance. It is the | Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? |
| Tx:19.79 | It is the Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His | Will as yours? What is death to you? Your dedication is not to death |
| Tx:19.80 | and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the | Will of God Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick |
| Tx:19.80 | in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose | Will it is they live. They are not following it; they are opposing it. |
| Tx:19.81 | are arrogant. But you who would release him are but honoring the | Will of his Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the |
| Tx:19.83 | first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so | will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and |
| Tx:19.86 | The fear of death | will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The end |
| Tx:19.87 | you. In its tiny hands, it holds in perfect safety every miracle you | will perform, held out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born |
| Tx:19.87 | a resting-place by your forgiveness of each other, and see in it the | Will of God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who |
| Tx:19.87 | is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who gives him shelter | will follow him, not to the cross, but to the Resurrection and the |
| Tx:19.91 | it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, peace | will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to join |
| Tx:19.95 | realize that if you look on this and let the veil be lifted, they | will be gone forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and |
| Tx:19.95 | forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and your “home” | will vanish. Nothing that you remember now will you remember. |
| Tx:19.95 | and your “home” will vanish. Nothing that you remember now | will you remember. |
| Tx:19.96 | It seems to you the world | will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that |
| Tx:19.96 | will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that | will occur is you will leave the world forever. This is the |
| Tx:19.96 | you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you | will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your |
| Tx:19.96 | will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your | will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore believe that you |
| Tx:19.96 | is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you | will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond |
| Tx:19.96 | you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you against your | will. It is your will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial |
| Tx:19.96 | control, and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your | will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget |
| Tx:19.96 | of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your | will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil is also deep within |
| Tx:19.97 | brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you | will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift |
| Tx:19.98 | brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You | will be ready. Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this |
| Tx:19.98 | 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 accept it for |
| Tx:19.98 | us here together will offer you the innocence you need and that you | will accept it for my love and His. |
| Tx:19.101 | way to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you | will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your |
| Tx:19.101 | other, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you | will raise your eyes in faith together or not at all. |
| Tx:19.102 | your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that you | will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the power |
| Tx:19.103 | when only he can offer it to you? For his redemption, he | will give you yours as surely as God created every living thing and |
| Tx:19.103 | as surely as God created every living thing and loves it. And he | will give it truly, for it will be both offered and received. |
| Tx:19.103 | every living thing and loves it. And he will give it truly, for it | will be both offered and received. |
| Tx:19.104 | withhold it not, for by receiving it you offer it to him. [For he | will receive of you what you received of him.] Redemption has been |
| Tx:19.105 | the holy place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we | will return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who |
| Tx:19.107 | release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So | will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son |
| Tx:19.108 | Together we | will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but |
| Tx:19.108 | And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation | will be left undone. This is the journey's purpose, without which is |
| Tx:19.109 | would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on him, so | will the gift itself appear to be. As he is seen as either the giver |
| Tx:19.109 | be. As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so | will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give pain |
| Tx:19.109 | of pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it | will be that he receives. And he will recognize his choice by what he |
| Tx:19.109 | but he must choose what it will be that he receives. And he | will recognize his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor |
| Tx:20.4 | petals of the lilies you have received and given as your gift, you | will behold each other's face and recognize it. I was a stranger and |
| Tx:20.4 | took me in, not knowing who I was. Yet for your gift of lilies you | will know. In your forgiveness of this stranger, alien to you and yet |
| Tx:20.6 | and give. And every gift it offers depends on what it wants. It | will adorn its chosen home most carefully, making it ready to receive |
| Tx:20.6 | unto its chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there they | will exchange their gifts, offering and receiving what their minds |
| Tx:20.8 | yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them now, and you | will see your altar is no longer what it was. |
| Tx:20.10 | would pick up from time to time and then put by. For if you do, so | will it be to you. |
| Tx:20.11 | carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you now. You | will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you need you have. |
| Tx:20.12 | Let us lift up our eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there | will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no illusions—only |
| Tx:20.12 | fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision | will be no illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the |
| Tx:20.13 | Would you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence | will light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure |
| Tx:20.13 | way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So | will we find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads us. |
| Tx:20.15 | through your vision and free to lead you now where he would be. He | will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly |
| Tx:20.15 | will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly | will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you behold |
| Tx:20.19 | constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death | will wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear? |
| Tx:20.22 | in him who wandered carelessly into the home of truth, and who | will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain |
| Tx:20.22 | of truth, and who will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he | will not remain before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and |
| Tx:20.26 | Such is my | will for both of you and for each of you for one another and for |
| Tx:20.26 | Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty our union | will be soon. |
| Tx:20.27 | lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but where they | will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as |
| Tx:20.27 | where else would they go but where they will to be? Each of you now | will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His Son |
| Tx:20.31 | Those who choose freedom | will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they |
| Tx:20.31 | will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they | will give it only to what God has given to share with them. Nothing |
| Tx:20.31 | them, for they see only this, sharing their power according to the | Will of God. And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It |
| Tx:20.33 | the part that has been given you to learn. For He Who knows the rest | will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not need |
| Tx:20.34 | all their brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you | will rest without them? You could no more leave one of them outside |
| Tx:20.35 | accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there | will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without |
| Tx:20.35 | that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit | will not arrange for you without your effort. |
| Tx:20.36 | He | will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your way |
| Tx:20.36 | stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need | will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away |
| Tx:20.36 | Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but | will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for |
| Tx:20.36 | the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so | will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee will hold against all |
| Tx:20.36 | As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee | will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not |
| Tx:20.38 | given you the gifts you give, and through your not forgetting this | will you remember Who gave the gifts to Him to give to you. |
| Tx:20.39 | you cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you | will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be |
| Tx:20.39 | or you will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It | will be given you to see your brother's worth when all you want for |
| Tx:20.39 | when all you want for him is peace. And what you want for him, you | will receive. |
| Tx:20.40 | his offering? His worth has been established by his Father, and you | will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What |
| Tx:20.40 | it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What is in him | will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will merely |
| Tx:20.40 | is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you | will merely love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him, |
| Tx:20.40 | your grateful 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 |
| Tx:20.42 | different point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or | will ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and |
| Tx:20.42 | is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and the future | will add no more. Here, then, is everything. Here is the loveliness |
| Tx:20.42 | end in perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you | will one day offer to each other already offered you. And here the |
| Tx:20.42 | other already offered you. And here the limitless forgiveness you | will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will |
| Tx:20.42 | you will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet | will look upon already seen. |
| Tx:20.43 | do you. And yet, have faith that He Who sees the gift in both of you | will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision will |
| Tx:20.43 | you will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision | will you see it, and through His understanding recognize it and love |
| Tx:20.50 | You cannot make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it | will never be the seat of love. It is the home of the idolater and of |
| Tx:20.51 | Idolaters | will always be afraid of love, for nothing so severely threatens them |
| Tx:20.51 | approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the body, as it | will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm |
| Tx:20.54 | in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it | will endure forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by |
| Tx:20.58 | joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal | will come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple |
| Tx:20.60 | frightens you, and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you | will make the error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can |
| Tx:20.65 | Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him | will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was |
| Tx:20.65 | this purpose seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment | will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and so you will not see. |
| Tx:20.65 | for its attainment will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and so you | will not see. |
| Tx:20.67 | Vision | will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to |
| Tx:20.67 | Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they | will be enough to show you what is given you who see your brother |
| Tx:20.67 | closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what was never lost | will quietly return. It has been saved for you. Vision would not be |
| Tx:20.68 | holy relationship offers all this to you. As it was given you, so | will be its effects. And as its holy purpose was not made by you, the |
| Tx:20.69 | the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace | will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of |
| Tx:20.70 | each one to see the body not. And as you look upon each other, you | will see an altar to your Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with |
| Tx:20.70 | and chosen to replace the holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where He | will dwell with you? |
| Tx:20.71 | little the perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment | will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who need his |
| Tx:20.71 | is no problem, no event or situation, no perplexity that vision | will not solve. All is redeemed when looked upon with vision. For |
| Tx:20.72 | sight. The end for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it | will meet His purpose, seen in unadjusted form and suited perfectly |
| Tx:20.72 | it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, and everything | will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you will |
| Tx:20.72 | will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you | will never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation, |
| Tx:20.72 | never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation, | will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy purpose bereft of |
| Tx:21.1 | so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but | will to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result, not |
| Tx:21.2 | Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you | will project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you see is |
| Tx:21.2 | tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the | Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between |
| Tx:21.2 | There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And you | will see the witness to the choice you made and learn from this to |
| Tx:21.4 | lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment | will always give you false directions, but vision shows you where to |
| Tx:21.5 | Your question is whether the means by which this course is learned | will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would, the |
| Tx:21.7 | that they have. Listen and try to think if you remember what we | will speak of now. |
| Tx:21.11 | not the body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing | will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son |
| Tx:21.12 | Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made | will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will look upon |
| Tx:21.12 | which they made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they | will look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is |
| Tx:21.13 | yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it now, it | will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost |
| Tx:21.16 | but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes | will disappear. |
| Tx:21.19 | it saw was true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you | will also see how circular the reasoning on which your “seeing” |
| Tx:21.19 | be replaced with truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it | will be given you to see it in yourself. |
| Tx:21.20 | is possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his | will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be |
| Tx:21.20 | happen to the Son of God without his will and thus without the | Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own. |
| Tx:21.20 | God without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose | Will cannot be separate from his own. |
| Tx:21.21 | This is the Son of God's replacement for his | will, a mad revolt against what must forever be. This is the |
| Tx:21.22 | should be, you have set up your idols to something else. This other | will, which seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And |
| Tx:21.22 | asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference with what | will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what |
| Tx:21.24 | of a fearful world to justify its purpose. What you desire you | will see. And if its reality is false, you will uphold it by not |
| Tx:21.24 | What you desire you will see. And if its reality is false, you | will uphold it by not realizing all the adjustments you have |
| Tx:21.30 | is so cherished and protected as is a goal the mind accepts. This it | will follow, grimly or happily, but always with faith and with the |
| Tx:21.31 | he believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it | will be simply because he no longer believes in them, withdrawing |
| Tx:21.32 | And when you have accepted them completely instead of yours, you | will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are |
| Tx:21.34 | that the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then | will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and believing in it |
| Tx:21.37 | nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you | will hate Him because you are afraid. The gift that He has given you |
| Tx:21.41 | The Holy Spirit | will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but |
| Tx:21.41 | The Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He | will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to |
| Tx:21.42 | the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes | will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe, |
| Tx:21.42 | to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God | will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not look. Yet |
| Tx:21.50 | ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you | will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will |
| Tx:21.50 | sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You | will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of |
| Tx:21.50 | of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You | will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own |
| Tx:21.50 | far 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 |
| Tx:21.50 | And you will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this | will be your faith. But never believe because it is your faith it |
| Tx:21.51 | awaiting but your choice. And if you place your faith in them, you | will perceive another Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as |
| Tx:21.52 | may arise in it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it | will not ask it. Like all that stems from reason, the basic question |
| Tx:21.53 | plan for your salvation could not have been established without your | will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God, |
| Tx:21.53 | him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor does the | Will of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined |
| Tx:21.53 | of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the | Will of God must be in you now, being eternal. You must have set |
| Tx:21.53 | not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you | will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist. |
| Tx:21.54 | He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your | will must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows |
| Tx:21.54 | must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His | Will and shares it. It is not meaningful to ask if what must be is |
| Tx:21.55 | knowledge threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it | will come with any part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason |
| Tx:21.57 | The part of mind where reason lies was dedicated by your | will in union with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was |
| Tx:21.58 | belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego | will never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must |
| Tx:21.59 | correction. It does not value them, but their correction. Reason | will also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if |
| Tx:21.59 | also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you | will not accept the help you call for, you will not believe that it |
| Tx:21.59 | call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you | will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give |
| Tx:21.59 | call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you | will not give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected error |
| Tx:21.59 | and to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both | will think that you are damned. This you could spare him and |
| Tx:21.62 | takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the | will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their |
| Tx:21.62 | will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their | will. For they believe they see the body and let their madness tell |
| Tx:21.62 | of this. And if you would defend the body against your reason, you | will not understand the body or yourself. |
| Tx:21.64 | and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you | will learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can teach him only |
| Tx:21.64 | unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? Reason | will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother |
| Tx:21.65 | steadily away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you | will lay down the burden of denying truth. This is the burden that is |
| Tx:21.68 | as one. 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:21.71 | alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God | will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness against him. |
| Tx:21.73 | what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this | will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find |
| Tx:21.74 | should he try. For if he focuses on what he cannot understand, he | will but emphasize his helplessness and let sin tell him that his |
| Tx:21.78 | it must be answered and is answered in the other three. And then it | will be clear to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any |
| Tx:21.80 | without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to see it | will be given you. |
| 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 |
| Tx:21.84 | proof that he is wrong who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you | will, and you will look on it and think it real. No thought but has |
| Tx:21.84 | is wrong who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you | will look on it and think it real. No thought but has the power to |
| Tx:21.88 | Reason | will tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if |
| Tx:21.88 | it. He may be wrong in what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he | will ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one |
| Tx:21.88 | desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself | will never fail to answer. God has already given him all that he |
| Tx:21.89 | You who complete God's | Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a power |
| Tx:21.89 | You who complete God's Will and are His happiness, whose | will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your illusions, |
| Tx:21.90 | future now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what | will never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the |
| Tx:22.5 | hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator have a different | will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then believe is that you |
| Tx:22.5 | then you and your Creator have a different will. Yet if you are his | will, what you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You |
| Tx:22.8 | What could be secret from God's | Will? Yet you believe that you have secrets. What could your secrets |
| Tx:22.8 | that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except another | will that is your own, apart from His? Reason would tell you that |
| Tx:22.9 | was given you, along with everything that you can understand. You | will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells |
| Tx:22.9 | only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, you | will understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can convey |
| Tx:22.9 | be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor | will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot |
| Tx:22.10 | he sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not understand | will be his native tongue, through which he will communicate with |
| Tx:22.10 | and does not understand will be his native tongue, through which he | will communicate with those around him, and they with him. And the |
| Tx:22.10 | and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him | will become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and |
| Tx:22.10 | ones he sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he | will recognize his home and see them there with him. |
| Tx:22.11 | rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision returned to you, and he | will speak the language both of you can understand. He is not |
| 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 |
| Tx:22.12 | will teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his | will be no alien tongue. He will need no interpreter to you, for it |
| Tx:22.12 | understand and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He | will need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what |
| Tx:22.13 | could not do through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason | will tell you that they must have seen each other through a vision |
| Tx:22.15 | correct in looking on each other as His chosen home, for here you | will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's Will for |
| Tx:22.15 | here you will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's | Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ is drawn |
| Tx:22.17 | difference as joy. Yet to perceive a difference where none exists | will surely fail to make a difference. |
| Tx:22.19 | Reason | will tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to recognize |
| Tx:22.20 | Both reason and the ego | will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego |
| Tx:22.20 | tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego | will assure you now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in |
| Tx:22.20 | on this another 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 |
| Tx:22.21 | purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use | will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be impossible, |
| Tx:22.22 | Forsake not now each other. For you who are the same | will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other |
| Tx:22.22 | or his judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This course | will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or |
| Tx:22.22 | true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you | will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will |
| Tx:22.22 | you 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:22.23 | And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save | will save. How he will do it is beyond your understanding, but when |
| Tx:22.23 | damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save will save. How he | will do it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your |
| Tx:22.24 | leave his Father's Mind, make himself different, and oppose His | Will, would it be possible that the self he made and all it made |
| Tx:22.25 | you unless you still would be apart from your Creator and with a | will opposed to His. For only if you would believe His Son could be |
| Tx:22.27 | 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. Here is no separate |
| Tx:22.27 | great the power that lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth | will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the |
| Tx:22.27 | will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate | will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its will has no |
| Tx:22.27 | is no separate will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its | will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every illusion |
| Tx:22.30 | belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason | will be unable to see your errors and make way for their correction. |
| Tx:22.33 | Reason | will tell you that the form of error is not what makes it a mistake. |
| Tx:22.33 | by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but form | will be perceived. |
| Tx:22.34 | These eyes, made not to see, | will never see. For the idea they represent left not its maker, and |
| Tx:22.35 | not true. 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 |
| Tx:22.37 | newly born, must value holiness above all else. Unholy values | will produce confusion, and in awareness. In an unholy relationship, |
| Tx:22.37 | sin. He sees within the other what impels him to sin against his | will. And thus he lays his sins upon the other and is attracted to |
| Tx:22.38 | straight ahead, the way you went before you reached the branch, you | will go nowhere. The whole purpose of coming this far was to decide |
| Tx:22.38 | The 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 |
| Tx:22.39 | of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There | will be nothing you will not be told if you acknowledge this. |
| Tx:22.39 | it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be nothing you | will not be told if you acknowledge this. |
| Tx:22.40 | together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone | will see it as a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that |
| Tx:22.40 | and peace has reached you even here before the veil. Think what | will happen after! The love of Christ will light your faces and shine |
| Tx:22.40 | before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ | will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that |
| Tx:22.40 | a darkened world that needs the light. And from this holy place He | will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will become His |
| Tx:22.40 | this holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You | will become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself. |
| Tx:22.41 | Think of the loveliness that you | will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful will each of you |
| Tx:22.41 | that you will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful | will each of you look to the other! How happy you will be to be |
| Tx:22.41 | how beautiful 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 |
| Tx:22.41 | where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you, | will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the |
| Tx:22.41 | open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the Christ in you but | will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which |
| Tx:22.41 | rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you | will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you |
| Tx:22.41 | the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How thankful | will they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's |
| Tx:22.42 | Every mistake you make the other | will gently have corrected for you, for in his sight your loveliness |
| Tx:22.42 | is his salvation which he would protect from harm. And each | will be the other's strong protector from everything that seems to |
| Tx:22.44 | out your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you | will learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It |
| Tx:22.45 | that needs defense you do not want, for anything that needs defense | will weaken you. |
| Tx:22.48 | mouse that would attack the universe. How likely is it that it | will succeed? Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks |
| Tx:22.48 | God created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the | Will of God. And can a mouse betray whom God has joined? |
| Tx:22.51 | No one but yearns for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he | will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will |
| Tx:22.51 | Yet he will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He | will believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other |
| Tx:22.51 | can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or body, and he | will make the other serve his choice as means to find it. |
| Tx:22.53 | as is the shift from hate to gratitude before forgiving eyes. You | will be sanctified by one another, using your bodies only to serve |
| Tx:22.53 | by one another, using your bodies only to serve the sinless. And it | will be impossible for you to hate what serves what you would heal. |
| Tx:22.54 | Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but | will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all pain, |
| Tx:22.54 | its form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint | will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you |
| Tx:22.54 | your joint will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here | will you accept Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed |
| Tx:22.56 | come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you | will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to |
| Tx:22.57 | you from seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you | will not recognize as a mistake—a shadow through which you walk |
| Tx:22.57 | let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they | will recognize their wills are His, because they serve His Will] and |
| Tx:22.58 | You | will see your value through each other's eyes, and each one is |
| Tx:22.58 | other, to whom He offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He | will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He will use |
| Tx:22.58 | to Him. He will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He | will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or |
| Tx:22.58 | received and welcomed. He will use every one of them for peace. Nor | will one little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake |
| Tx:22.59 | cannot 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:22.59 | He will take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He | will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will |
| Tx:22.59 | He will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He | will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make each |
| Tx:22.60 | world. 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 |
| Tx:22.60 | only arrogance that would deny the power of your will. Think you the | Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this |
| Tx:22.60 | God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so | will it seem to be. |
| Tx:22.62 | recognized this oneness, you would know His power is yours. But you | will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind means |
| Tx:22.64 | function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other | will experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are |
| Tx:22.64 | burden on you. For when you have accepted it with gladness, you | will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of |
| Tx:23.1 | is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the | Will of God. Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is |
| Tx:23.1 | opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an opposing | will. |
| Tx:23.2 | How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You | will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become |
| Tx:23.2 | you use for sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And you | will fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you |
| Tx:23.2 | will 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 |
| Tx:23.2 | will think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you | will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you |
| Tx:23.2 | is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you | will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels |
| Tx:23.2 | him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he | will see only the sinless, who can not attack. |
| Tx:23.5 | it and perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence | will light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your |
| Tx:23.6 | of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So | will you come to understand all that is given you. In kind |
| Tx:23.6 | you come to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness | will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought |
| Tx:23.6 | world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful now | will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk |
| Tx:23.7 | is its fixed belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and | will succeed. |
| Tx:23.8 | And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the | Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with |
| Tx:23.8 | and overthrown. You may identify with this belief, but never | will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and will |
| Tx:23.8 | with this belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear | will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced love there. This |
| Tx:23.8 | will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and | will seem to have replaced love there. This is the conflict's |
| Tx:23.9 | Be certain that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, | will ever meet. You seem to meet and make your strange alliances on |
| Tx:23.11 | forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a body, you | will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be forgotten |
| Tx:23.12 | them different from each other in the belief the one which conquers | will be true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor |
| Tx:23.13 | But truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You | will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in |
| Tx:23.15 | one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here | will the Father never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His |
| Tx:23.26 | thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the | Will of God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of help |
| Tx:23.26 | seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego | will enable you to find escape from what it wants. That is the |
| Tx:23.30 | It holds there is a substitute for love. This is the “magic” that | will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness that |
| Tx:23.31 | Never is your possession made complete. And never | will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor |
| Tx:23.31 | will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor | will God end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have |
| Tx:23.38 | in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions | will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their |
| Tx:23.40 | take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you | will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will follow. |
| Tx:23.40 | one, you will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they | will follow. Attack in any form has placed your foot upon the twisted |
| Tx:23.41 | 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 in another form which |
| Tx:23.41 | attack can take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you and | will do so just as much as in another form which you do recognize, |
| Tx:23.41 | murderer and justify his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he | will suffer and will look on his intent in nightmares where the |
| Tx:23.41 | his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he will suffer and | will look on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and |
| Tx:23.46 | and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it | will not return. There is no safety in a battleground. You can look |
| Tx:23.46 | within it, you can find no safety. Not one tree left standing still | will shelter you. Not one illusion of protection stands against the |
| Tx:23.48 | must they be the same and indistinguishable from one another. So | will they be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the |
| Tx:23.50 | This is your part—to realize that murder in any form is not your | will. The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose. |
| Tx:23.51 | Be lifted up and from a higher place look down upon it. From there | will your perspective be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it |
| Tx:23.52 | instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of Heaven | will gently lean to you and hold you up. For you have chosen to |
| Tx:23.54 | quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that | will last forever? |
| Tx:24.1 | is attained. It is not necessary to tell Him what to do. He | will not fail. Where He can enter, there He is already. And can it be |
| Tx:24.1 | already. And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? Peace | will be yours because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can |
| Tx:24.1 | enter where He wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His | Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the |
| Tx:24.1 | because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the | Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon illusions |
| Tx:24.1 | seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is Their | will? |
| Tx:24.2 | value that you hold. Not one can be kept hidden and obscure but it | will jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has |
| Tx:24.4 | Beliefs | will never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are |
| Tx:24.8 | the goal is triumph? And what decision can be made for this that | will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father |
| Tx:24.10 | in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against his | will. And God Himself must honor it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge |
| Tx:24.11 | against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the | Will of God? You love your brother not while it is this you would |
| Tx:24.13 | released from limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit | will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you |
| Tx:24.13 | is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter to the | Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which |
| Tx:24.13 | to the Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien | will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth. |
| Tx:24.16 | You can defend your specialness, but never | will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a different |
| Tx:24.17 | specialness and all the sins he held in its defense against himself | will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns |
| Tx:24.17 | 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 sound. Is |
| Tx:24.18 | between him and the function of salvation given him for you. Nor | will you change his function, any more than you can change the truth |
| Tx:24.19 | Think of the loveliness that you | will see within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend. |
| Tx:24.20 | falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God | will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and yours are |
| Tx:24.25 | of all your misery and the awareness that your plan has failed and | will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through |
| Tx:24.27 | it stands, strongly defended with all your puny might against the | Will of God. And thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not |
| Tx:24.29 | Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It | will forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is—a secret |
| Tx:24.29 | for that is what it is—a secret vow that what God wants for you | will never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it |
| Tx:24.29 | a secret vow that what God wants for you will never be and that you | will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be |
| Tx:24.29 | what God wants for you will never be and that you will oppose His | Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while |
| Tx:24.30 | for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien | will, rise between what He wills for you and what you will. They are |
| Tx:24.30 | like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you | will. They are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could |
| Tx:24.30 | They are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they | will the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack |
| Tx:24.30 | not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your | will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you think it is. |
| Tx:24.30 | God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, “Thy | will be done” because you think it is. |
| Tx:24.31 | your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose | Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace in perfect safety |
| Tx:24.33 | The slaves of specialness | will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God |
| Tx:24.33 | The slaves of specialness will yet be free. Such is the | Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to |
| Tx:24.33 | Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you | will that this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to |
| Tx:24.33 | this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to join His | Will to save you both from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his |
| Tx:24.33 | His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your | will be done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love |
| Tx:24.33 | nails are on your hands as well. Forgive your Father. It was not His | Will that you be crucified. |
| Tx:24.37 | in the sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They | will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that |
| Tx:24.40 | and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does | will create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as |
| Tx:24.42 | beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard and where he | will see nothing and there is no sound to hear. |
| Tx:24.43 | Yet let your specialness direct his way, and you | will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark |
| Tx:24.43 | let your specialness direct his way, and you will follow. And both | will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark forest of the |
| Tx:24.47 | is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His Son could never | will that you be brotherless. And would He give a brother unto you |
| Tx:24.48 | Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet comes. He | will exchange His certainty for all your doubts if you agree that He |
| Tx:24.49 | the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have | will scatter with the wind and turn to dust. In him is your assurance |
| Tx:24.49 | While he is what he is, you can be sure that God is knowable and | will be known to you. For He could never leave His own creation. And |
| Tx:24.50 | no reality. For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His | Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and nothing is |
| Tx:24.51 | And no thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His | Will you share His love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as |
| Tx:24.52 | to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances, you | will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for |
| Tx:24.52 | all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you | will use the world for what is not its purpose and will not escape |
| Tx:24.52 | yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its purpose and | will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you |
| Tx:24.53 | obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to | will you escape. And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in |
| Tx:24.53 | And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet | will his perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite |
| Tx:24.55 | you want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet | will you choose in countless situations and through time which seems |
| Tx:24.56 | begun 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 |
| Tx:24.57 | the other choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled | will haunt you while your brother lies asleep, till what has been |
| Tx:24.58 | and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness | will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him |
| Tx:24.58 | And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the | Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love [and care]. |
| Tx:24.66 | shares in its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor | will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it |

| Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you | will see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks |
| Tx:24.72 | with a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's | Will. The son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so. |
| Tx:24.72 | of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an alien | will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his |
| Tx:24.72 | choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see | will serve that purpose well and prove its own reality to you. |
| Tx:25.1 | come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then | will their bodies melt away that they may frame His holiness in them. |
| Tx:25.4 | you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it | will you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For |
| Tx:25.5 | you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you | will believe that you are there. And every body that you look upon |
| Tx:25.5 | And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you | will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set in his |
| Tx:25.6 | world you want to live in and the state in which you think your mind | will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety |
| Tx:25.8 | your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's | Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be |
| Tx:25.9 | purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the | Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind |
| Tx:25.9 | the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really | will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware that it |
| Tx:25.12 | fancies, always does despair result. And there is no exception, nor | will there ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you |
| Tx:25.12 | it gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only thus | will you be willing to relinquish it and have it gone forever. |
| Tx:25.14 | to uphold pursuit of what has always failed on grounds that it | will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought before? |
| Tx:25.17 | instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a frame that | will endure forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you |
| Tx:25.18 | Accept God's frame instead of yours, and you | will see the masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the |
| Tx:25.19 | understand your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He | will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see |
| Tx:25.19 | to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you | will see the dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who |
| Tx:25.19 | but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both | will gladly look within and see the holiness that must be there |

| Tx:25.22 | must have one purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His | Will is brought together as you join in will that you be made |

| Tx:25.23 | To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent | will you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent |
| Tx:25.23 | to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent | will you perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict |

| Tx:25.28 | to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He | will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really |
| Tx:25.28 | that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He | will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he |
| Tx:25.28 | with equal ease and far more happiness bestow forgiveness. And he | will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him |
| Tx:25.31 | that he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you | will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the instant |
| Tx:25.31 | that in this choice the purpose of the world you see is chosen and | will be justified. |
| Tx:25.32 | is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what | will bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as such that |
| Tx:25.32 | aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once again, as what | will bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought for |
| Tx:25.33 | Perception's basic law could thus be said, “You | will rejoice at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” And |
| Tx:25.33 | you see it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and sin | will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see. |
| Tx:25.33 | while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long | will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or beneficent |
| Tx:25.34 | From you can come their rest. From you can rise a world they | will rejoice to look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you |
| Tx:25.34 | guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die | will disappear before the sun you bring. |
| Tx:25.35 | what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you now | will seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go |
| Tx:25.35 | away for recognition and are gone forever. And in the sunlight you | will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you |
| Tx:25.35 | will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you | will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can never fall |
| Tx:25.36 | Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that ever sang | will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has saved |
| Tx:25.36 | its perfume and its loveliness for you. What aim can supersede the | Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it |
| Tx:25.40 | neither have it. So must it remain useless to both. Together, it | will give to each an equal strength to save the other and save |
| Tx:25.41 | It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom | will you gain your own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the |
| Tx:25.41 | Heaven or toward hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness | will be when you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he |
| Tx:25.41 | his sinlessness will be when you perceive it! And how great | will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God |
| Tx:25.41 | along with him. And as you see him, so do you define the function he | will have for you until you see him differently and let him be what |
| Tx:25.42 | hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made free to let His | Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief |
| Tx:25.42 | In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief in what the | Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand |
| Tx:25.42 | belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness | will you understand His love for you; through your attack believe He |
| Tx:25.42 | But forget not this—the role you give to him is given you, and you | will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment |
| Tx:25.45 | Will you behold your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He | |
| Tx:25.45 | your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not | will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He will that he |
| Tx:25.45 | He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He | will that he remain without the function that He gave to him. Let him |
| Tx:25.49 | and let him understand that he is safe, as he has always been and | will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the function given |
| Tx:25.50 | The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor | will it change. Yet is it possible what God created not should share |
| Tx:25.51 | be the “sinner's” wish for death is just as strong as is God's | Will for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm |
| Tx:25.51 | and Heaven are the same? And is it possible that what He did not | will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His Will? And what |
| Tx:25.51 | He did not will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His | Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can |
| Tx:25.51 | share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can rise against His | Will and be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless but |
| Tx:25.51 | and be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless but the | Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is |
| Tx:25.56 | of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not | will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity |
| Tx:25.56 | be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His | Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity which makes it most |
| Tx:25.57 | this One is given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which | will not attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and |
| Tx:25.59 | you this in the alternative He chose especially for you. It is God's | Will that you remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into |
| Tx:25.62 | but life is not maintained at any cost. No one can suffer for the | Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you share |
| Tx:25.62 | one can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His | Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which |
| Tx:25.63 | For if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you against your | will. And so you would not learn it is your will to be without it. |
| Tx:25.63 | it from you against your will. And so you would not learn it is your | will to be without it. You need not give it to Him wholly willingly, |
| Tx:25.74 | justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if he | will be that one, so justice may return to love and there be |
| Tx:25.75 | He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His understanding | will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been |
| Tx:25.77 | of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness | will deprive yourself of what God's justice has allotted you. |
| Tx:25.78 | that the answer must entail. For if you answer “yes,” it means you | will forgo all values of this world in favor of the peace of Heaven. |
| Tx:25.78 | one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is possible | will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has |
| Tx:25.80 | Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves | will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be true |
| Tx:25.82 | been solved because it has been met with justice. Until it has, it | will recur because it has not yet been solved. The principle that |
| Tx:25.85 | that all your brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you | will not claim your right to them because you were unjust to one with |
| Tx:25.85 | you were unjust to one with equal rights. Seek to deny, and you | will feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A |
| Tx:26.1 | part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you | will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming |
| Tx:26.6 | his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you | will hear no song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given |
| Tx:26.8 | be that you could make his sins reality and sacrifice his Father's | Will for him? |
| Tx:26.10 | problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, and it | will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt |
| Tx:26.10 | It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It | will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has been |
| Tx:26.10 | 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 released from |
| Tx:26.14 | to see his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you | will not look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem |
| Tx:26.15 | One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you | will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer |
| Tx:26.15 | And you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not | will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth will rest |
| Tx:26.15 | could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth | will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be |
| Tx:26.15 | of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor | will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For |
| Tx:26.16 | Think then how great your own release | will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your |
| Tx:26.16 | you are willing to receive correction for all your problems. You | will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you |
| Tx:26.16 | all your problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any form you | will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the |
| Tx:26.16 | will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you | will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle |
| Tx:26.16 | is gone. And in its place the love of God can be remembered and | will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss. |
| Tx:26.17 | anything because He knows that everything that is belongs to Him and | will forever be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be |
| Tx:26.17 | and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked | will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will |
| Tx:26.17 | will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's | Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave when He |
| Tx:26.21 | what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he | will ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final |
| Tx:26.21 | the last comparison that he will ever make, the last evaluation that | will be possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the |
| Tx:26.22 | same? This difference is the learning goal this course has set. It | will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the |
| Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was perceived | will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you |
| Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which | will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of |
| Tx:26.29 | will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you | will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their song of gratitude |
| Tx:26.29 | of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be complete, so | will you go with them. For no one hears the song of Heaven and |
| Tx:26.29 | which withholds the wealth of Heaven from you! And how great | will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love |
| Tx:26.30 | There are two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you | will go along the way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two |
| Tx:26.30 | you can take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For never | will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but choose |
| Tx:26.38 | has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can sin withstand the | Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the |
| Tx:26.39 | way 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 |
| Tx:26.40 | He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead of live. And | will you not forgive him now because he made an error in the past |
| Tx:26.43 | the world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the | Will of God nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was |
| Tx:26.44 | believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you and | will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because |
| Tx:26.46 | Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the | Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God |
| Tx:26.46 | to whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He | will place them on your throne when you make room for Him on His. |
| Tx:26.50 | 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 upside-down. |
| Tx:26.51 | yield with equal ease to what God gave as answer to them all. God's | Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His Will has no |
| Tx:26.51 | all. God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His | Will has no foundation in the truth. |
| Tx:26.52 | be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's | Will be split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws of two |
| Tx:26.55 | this wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's | Will. Although it falls far short of giving you your full |
| Tx:26.56 | this world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer | will creation rise within you to replace the world you see with |
| Tx:26.56 | the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the | Will of God are one. |
| Tx:26.57 | What is the | Will of God? He wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed |
| Tx:26.58 | Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake about your | will and what you really are? Let us consider what the error is, so |
| Tx:26.60 | source is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For never | will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of God. |
| Tx:26.61 | is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor | will he know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his |
| Tx:26.61 | and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor recognize his | will.] He has forsworn his Father and himself and made them both his |
| Tx:26.62 | the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one | will be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it |
| Tx:26.62 | not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus | will it ever be. |
| Tx:26.63 | The miracle but calls your ancient name, which you | will recognize because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, |
| Tx:26.66 | difference among the Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies | will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And |
| Tx:26.67 | to everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God | will answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when He |
| Tx:26.68 | is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive and | will receive the benefits of trust. This but reflects the little you |
| Tx:26.70 | Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you | will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great |
| Tx:26.70 | is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its effects | will come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is |
| Tx:26.72 | where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given it as yet, and what | will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a |
| Tx:26.73 | Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you | will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in |
| Tx:26.74 | with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now but | will some day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is not |
| Tx:26.74 | you do not understand it now but will some day. And then its meaning | will be clear. This is not reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints |
| Tx:26.77 | However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never | will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen home |
| Tx:26.84 | gratitude do God the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and | will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have |
| Tx:26.85 | same as different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all, it | will be total. And its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their |
| Tx:26.85 | occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in whatever form, | will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all. |
| Tx:26.85 | They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused perception | will block knowledge. It is not a question of the size of the |
| Tx:27.1 | a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you | will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place no terror |
| Tx:27.1 | in the night. But place no terror symbols on your path, or you | will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself |
| Tx:27.1 | will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself | will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if you are |
| Tx:27.2 | realize that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair | will come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you |
| Tx:27.2 | Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you | will not escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you |
| Tx:27.4 | lest he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he never | will escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it can |
| Tx:27.6 | Show this unto your brother, who | will see that every scar is healed and every tear is wiped away in |
| Tx:27.6 | healed and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he | will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look |
| Tx:27.6 | love. And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes | will look beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is |
| Tx:27.7 | It is not | will for life, but wish for death that is the motivation for this |
| Tx:27.8 | esteem the worth of passing joys? What pleasures could there be that | will endure? Are not the frail entitled to believe that every stolen |
| Tx:27.8 | is their righteous payment for their little lives? Their death | will pay the price for all of them if they enjoy their benefits or |
| Tx:27.9 | strange belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin | will end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were |
| Tx:27.10 | for a purpose to be given that it may fulfill the function that it | will receive. |
| Tx:27.11 | the fetid scent of death. Let it have healing as its purpose. Then | will it send forth the message it received and by its health and |
| Tx:27.13 | his brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and | will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged body shows |
| Tx:27.16 | that separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you | will believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And |
| Tx:27.18 | calling of the Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own, | will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. Brother, |
| Tx:27.18 | of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world | will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when |
| Tx:27.20 | be apart from his at all. As long as he consents to suffer, you | will be unhealed. Yet you can show him that his suffering is |
| Tx:27.20 | purposeless and wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he | will consent no more to suffer. For his innocence has been |
| Tx:27.20 | innocence has been established in your sight and his. And laughter | will replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is God's |
| Tx:27.26 | In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you | will not even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside |
| Tx:27.27 | which the Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He | will not fulfill a function He cannot understand and recognize as |
| Tx:27.32 | the invitation's real appeal. For what you leave as vacant, God | will fill, and where He is, there must the truth abide. Unweakened |
| Tx:27.33 | in the learning interval it has a use which now you fear, but yet | will love. |
| Tx:27.34 | given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant | will not need defense of any kind. For you will give it overwhelming |
| Tx:27.34 | unoccupied and vacant will not need defense of any kind. For you | will give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an instant in |
| Tx:27.34 | [For this you need no pictures and no learning aids.] And what | will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will merely be. |
| Tx:27.34 | aids.] And what will ultimately take the place of every learning aid | will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing |
| Tx:27.36 | purpose is to make no resolution possible and to ensure no answer | will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is |
| Tx:27.38 | problems but within the holy instant's surety. For there the problem | will be answered and resolved. Outside there will be no solution, for |
| Tx:27.38 | For there the problem will be answered and resolved. Outside there | will be no solution, for there is no answer there that could be |

| Tx:27.42 | is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer tells “of whom,” it | will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the question is preserved |
| Tx:27.43 | which holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers which | will solve your problems because they stand apart from them, and see |
| Tx:27.44 | are needed that it can begin. Accept the miracle of healing, and it | will go forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend |
| Tx:27.47 | the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing | will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace |
| Tx:27.48 | left behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you | will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And |
| Tx:27.48 | is given you to give the dying world. And suffering eyes no longer | will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy |
| Tx:27.48 | in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance | will light your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering |
| Tx:27.48 | the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see the world | will witness, and will witness to. |
| Tx:27.48 | cannot both be there. And what you see the world will witness, and | will witness to. |
| Tx:27.49 | lesson which has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it | will the world remind you gently of what you have taught. No |
| Tx:27.49 | world remind you gently of what you have taught. No reinforcement | will its thanks withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it |
| Tx:27.49 | withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it might live. It | will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who |
| Tx:27.49 | the Friend who brought them their 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 |
| Tx:27.51 | Your healing will extend and | will be brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And |
| Tx:27.51 | be brought to problems that you thought were not your own. And it | will also be apparent that your many different problems will be |
| Tx:27.51 | own. And it will also be apparent that your many different problems | will be solved as any one of them has been escaped. It cannot be |
| Tx:27.52 | of your learning to the One Who really understands its laws and Who | will guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited. Your part |
| Tx:27.52 | part is merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He | will do the rest. And thus the power of your learning will be proved |
| Tx:27.52 | and He will do the rest. And thus the power of your learning | will be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. |
| Tx:27.52 | the many different witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them | will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one |
| Tx:27.53 | Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you | will learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for |
| Tx:27.53 | occurred within the instant which love entered in without attack | will stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its effects, |
| Tx:27.53 | entered in without attack will stay with you forever. Your healing | will be one of its effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go |
| Tx:27.53 | stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its effects, as | will your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold its multiplied |
| Tx:27.53 | be one of its effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go | will you behold its multiplied effects. Yet all the witnesses that |
| Tx:27.53 | behold its multiplied effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold | will be far less than all there really are. Infinity cannot be |
| Tx:27.55 | this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it | will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure |
| Tx:27.55 | it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure | will be felt no more. Sin's witnesses but shift from name to name, as |
| Tx:27.61 | that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The holy instant | will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. And no |
| Tx:27.61 | replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you. And no one | will elect to suffer more. What better function could you serve than |
| Tx:27.61 | 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 the |
| Tx:27.63 | made to keep the problem unresolved? Without the clouds, the problem | will emerge in all its primitive simplicity. The choice will not be |
| Tx:27.63 | the problem will emerge in all its primitive simplicity. The choice | will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when clearly |
| Tx:27.65 | one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation of the world | will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his part in |
| Tx:27.66 | The means attest the purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor | will the cause be changed by seeing it apart from its effects. The |
| Tx:27.69 | the weather or the time of day. It loves him not but casts him as it | will in any role that satisfies its dream. So little is his worth |
| Tx:27.72 | all are here. Here is the cause of unreality. And it is here that it | will be undone. |
| Tx:27.73 | the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever | will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son |
| Tx:27.75 | with you in holy innocence. And from this dream, the Lord of Heaven | will Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's |
| Tx:27.79 | of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream | will never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes |
| Tx:27.79 | world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor | will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many forms and seems |
| Tx:27.82 | We can remember this if we but look directly at their cause. And we | will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us |
| Tx:27.84 | The world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you | will believe that others do to you exactly what you think you did to |
| Tx:27.84 | you think you did to them. But once deluded into blaming them, you | will not see the cause of what they do because you want the guilt to |
| Tx:27.85 | of God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,” and you | will leave the holy instant with your laughter and your brother's |
| Tx:27.86 | you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned | will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes. |
| Tx:27.87 | The Holy Spirit | will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has |
| Tx:27.87 | of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He | will make answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer |
| Tx:27.87 | the single cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you | will understand that miracles reflect the simple statement, |
| Tx:27.89 | is 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 |
| Tx:27.89 | but learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently | will you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive |
| Tx:27.89 | when this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, you | will be free of it. Its innocence does not demand your guilt, nor |
| Tx:27.90 | that they both be true. This is the only secret yet to learn. And it | will be no secret you are healed. |
| Tx:28.6 | because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause that | will endure or else it will not last. No change can be made in the |
| Tx:28.6 | has gone. Yet change must have a cause that will endure or else it | will not last. No change can be made in the present if its cause is |
| Tx:28.7 | the new effects of cause accepted now, with consequences here. They | will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they |
| Tx:28.7 | surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they bring | will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it far |
| Tx:28.8 | in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its consequences | will indeed seem new because you thought that you remembered not |
| Tx:28.8 | Yet was It never absent from your mind, for it was not your Father's | Will that He be unremembered by His [only] Son. |
| Tx:28.9 | you that It has not gone. When you forgive It for your sins, It | will no longer be denied. |
| Tx:28.10 | His Son could be condemned for what was causeless and against His | Will. What your remembering would witness to is but the fear of God. |
| Tx:28.11 | in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness. And they | will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into |
| Tx:28.11 | own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place | will not be wholly unremembered afterwards. |
| Tx:28.15 | the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge an instant | will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with Himself. His |
| Tx:28.15 | and gently carried over. He has built the bridge, and it is He Who | will transport His Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in |
| Tx:28.15 | it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no fear that He | will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded from the Will |
| Tx:28.15 | He will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded from the | Will that is for you. |
| Tx:28.21 | it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never | will you give it real effects. For that would change its cause, and |
| Tx:28.24 | For this confusion has produced the dream, and while it lasts, | will wakening be feared. Nor will the call to wakening be heard, |
| Tx:28.24 | produced the dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor | will the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call |
| Tx:28.26 | the body 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 |
| Tx:28.27 | is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation | will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to |
| Tx:28.28 | concern at present. Here is where we must begin. And having started, | will the way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and |
| Tx:28.28 | to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream | will fade away without effects. For it is your support that |
| Tx:28.33 | the shame of [sin] He cannot bridge, for He cannot destroy the alien | will that He created not. Let its effects be gone and clutch them not |
| Tx:28.33 | them not with eager hands, to keep them for yourself. The miracle | will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to |
| Tx:28.35 | was seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness | will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness |
| Tx:28.35 | to bring you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it | will make a place of welcome for your Father and your Self. The door |
| Tx:28.35 | and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them there. And they | will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to come to |
| Tx:28.37 | of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you | will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a |
| Tx:28.38 | to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you | will lose identity in them. You find yourself by not accepting them |
| Tx:28.40 | is by not supporting his illusions by your faith, for if you do, you | will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he will not be |
| Tx:28.40 | for if you do, you will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he | will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And |
| Tx:28.40 | and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of fear | will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have |
| Tx:28.41 | Be certain, if you do your part, he | will do his, for he will join you where you stand. Call not to him to |
| Tx:28.41 | Be certain, if you do your part, he will do his, for he | will join you where you stand. Call not to him to meet you in the gap |
| Tx:28.42 | of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams | will [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what made |
| Tx:28.42 | truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he | will understand what made the dream. |
| Tx:28.44 | bit which he insisted was himself. And when he sees this picture, he | will recognize himself. If you share not your brother's evil dream, |
| Tx:28.44 | not your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle | will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of |
| Tx:28.44 | clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father | will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself. |
| Tx:28.45 | I thank you, Father, knowing you | will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken |
| Tx:28.46 | to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He | will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. |
| Tx:28.46 | the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there | will be no loss, but only gain. |
| Tx:28.47 | share it, nothing can exist. And you exist because God shared His | Will with you, that His creation might create. |
| Tx:28.49 | Remember if you share an evil dream, you | will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will |
| Tx:28.49 | you will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you | will not want to know your own Identity because you think that it is |
| Tx:28.49 | know your own Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you | will deny your Self and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator |
| Tx:28.49 | did not make and where you seem to be a “something” you are not. You | will make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will |
| Tx:28.49 | You will make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and | will attack your brother as a part of what you hate. There is no |
| Tx:28.53 | gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you | will see within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing |
| Tx:28.54 | understand what it is for. It does not victimize because it has no | will, no preferences, and no doubts. It does not wonder what it is. |
| Tx:28.58 | Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that it | will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what was made in |
| Tx:28.59 | with each one—that you be one with him and not apart. And he | will keep the promise that you make with him because it is the one |
| Tx:28.59 | never be apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied “I | will,” though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it |
| Tx:28.59 | mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the | Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not |
| Tx:28.59 | of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his | will, who has made promise of himself to God. |
| Tx:28.60 | where God is not, a gap between the Father and the Son is not the | will of either, who have promised to be one. God's promise is a |
| Tx:28.60 | there is no gap between Himself and what He is cannot be false. What | will can come between what must be one, and in Whose wholeness there |
| Tx:28.61 | and the world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For healing | will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the healing lies. |
| Tx:28.63 | the healing of God's Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It | will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not |
| Tx:28.64 | bar the door and lock the windows and make fast the bolts. The wind | will topple it, and rain will come and carry it into oblivion. |
| Tx:28.64 | windows and make fast the bolts. The wind will topple it, and rain | will come and carry it into oblivion. |

| Tx:28.66 | Foundation of his home. The winds will blow upon it, and the rain | will beat against it but with no effect. The world will wash away, |
| Tx:28.66 | it, and the rain will beat against it but with no effect. The world | will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its |
| Tx:28.66 | it but with no effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house | will stand forever, for its strength lies not within itself alone. It |
| Tx:28.66 | a home of holiness a little while because it shares your Father's | Will with you. |
| Tx:29.4 | to go your separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to separate | will you agree to meet from time to time and keep apart in intervals |
| Tx:29.5 | you cannot do. It dictates what its health can tolerate and what | will tire it and make it sick. And its “inherent” weaknesses set up |
| Tx:29.6 | The body | will accommodate to this if you would have it so. It will allow but |
| Tx:29.6 | The body will accommodate to this if you would have it so. It | will allow but limited indulgences in “love,” with intervals of |
| Tx:29.6 | indulgences in “love,” with intervals of hatred in between. And it | will take command of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely |
| Tx:29.6 | of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into fear. It | will be sick because you do not know what loving means. And so you |
| Tx:29.10 | you give up nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you | will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you |
| Tx:29.10 | will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you | will not see the many gains your choice has offered you. Yet though |
| Tx:29.11 | its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look inward now, and you | will not behold a reason for regret but cause indeed for glad |
| Tx:29.13 | with Him. He has laid them at your feet and asks you now that you | will look on them and take them for your own. He needs your help in |
| Tx:29.13 | to all who walk apart believing they are separate and alone. They | will be healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will |
| Tx:29.13 | They will be healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest | will welcome everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon |
| Tx:29.14 | but you can see the gifts He brought. And when you look on them, you | will believe His Presence must be there. For what you now can do |
| Tx:29.18 | The body that is asked to be a god | will be attacked because its nothingness has not been recognized. And |
| Tx:29.18 | itself. And it can fail to be what you demanded that it be. And you | will hate it for its littleness, unmindful that the failure does not |
| Tx:29.20 | Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he gives, he | will not know he has, for giving is the proof of having. Only those |
| Tx:29.22 | in the space of light where God abides within the darkness, you | will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the |
| Tx:29.22 | that it remain. The coming of the light means it is gone. In glory | will you see your brother then and understand what really fills the |
| Tx:29.23 | your mind. When light has come to him through your forgiveness, he | will not forget his savior, leaving him unsaved. For it was in your |
| Tx:29.24 | the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking eyes | will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you are saved. |
| Tx:29.27 | It can be in you or someone else, but where it is perceived, it | will be there it is attacked. Depression or assault must be the theme |
| Tx:29.36 | Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and | will continue in death's services. Each form it takes in some way |
| Tx:29.39 | thing in all the universe that must be one. What seems eternal all | will have an end. The stars will disappear, and night and day will be |
| Tx:29.39 | that must be one. What seems eternal all will have an end. The stars | will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All things that |
| Tx:29.39 | all will have an end. The stars will disappear, and night and day | will be no more. All things that come and go, the tides, the seasons, |
| Tx:29.39 | lives of men; all things that change with time and bloom and fade | will not return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal |
| Tx:29.39 | eternal is. God's Son can never change by what men made of him. He | will be as he was and as he is, for time appointed not his destiny |
| Tx:29.39 | not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness | will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the things |
| Tx:29.42 | This world | will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only if you |
| Tx:29.43 | Seek not outside yourself. For it | will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot |
| Tx:29.43 | Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you | will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is |
| Tx:29.43 | no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls | will never answer in His place. There is no other answer you can |
| Tx:29.43 | are told where happiness abides and seek no longer elsewhere. You | will fail. But it is given you to know the truth and not to seek for |
| Tx:29.44 | or some dream that there is something outside of himself that | will bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this |
| Tx:29.45 | The lingering illusion | will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek beyond them |
| Tx:29.45 | thousand idols and to seek beyond them for a thousand more. And each | will fail him, all excepting one; for he will die and does not |
| Tx:29.45 | a thousand more. And each will fail him, all excepting one; for he | will die and does not understand the idol that he seeks is but his |
| Tx:29.48 | of the world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future | will be like the past and but a series of depressing dreams in which |
| Tx:29.53 | are but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe they | will complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a |
| Tx:29.55 | Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he ever | will be real. |
| Tx:29.58 | things forever and has left no room for anything to be except His | Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is everything and |
| Tx:29.59 | contain. Each worshiper of idols harbors hope his special deities | will give him more than other men possess. It must be more. It does |
| Tx:29.59 | is a means for getting more. And it is this that is against God's | Will. |
| Tx:29.60 | as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than God. But you | will never be content with being less. |
| Tx:29.62 | the dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must he judge not, and he | will waken. For the dream will seem to last while he is part of it. |
| Tx:29.62 | of judgment. So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the dream | will seem to last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who |
| Tx:29.62 | seem to last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who judges | will have need of idols which will hold the judgment off from resting |
| Tx:29.62 | of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have need of idols which | will hold the judgment off from resting on himself. Nor can he know |
| Tx:29.63 | is an injustice to God's Son, and it is justice that who judges him | will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he |
| Tx:29.66 | judges this as does 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 |
| Tx:29.69 | Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an idol and believe it | will betray you. For beneath your hope that it will save you lie the |
| Tx:29.69 | idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it | will save you lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and |
| Tx:30.1 | one thing alone—your willingness to practice every step. Each one | will help a little every time it is attempted. And together will |
| Tx:30.1 | Each one will help a little every time it is attempted. And together | will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams |
| Tx:30.1 | the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits now, so you | will have them ready for whatever need. |
| Tx:30.2 | you take. The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake, | will put you well ahead. And if you find resistance strong and |
| Tx:30.4 | Today I | will make no decision by myself. |
| Tx:30.5 | not to be the judge of what to do. But it must also mean you | will not judge the situations where you will be called upon to make |
| Tx:30.5 | But it must also mean you will not judge the situations where you | will be called upon to make response. For if you judge them, you have |
| Tx:30.6 | feel attacked. And therefore angry. There are rules by which this | will not happen. But it does occur at first, while you are learning |
| Tx:30.8 | If I make no decision by myself, This is the day that | will be given me. |
| Tx:30.9 | These two procedures, practiced well, | will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition will |
| Tx:30.9 | well, will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition | will not first arise and then become a problem in itself. |
| Tx:30.10 | But there | will still be times when you have judged already. Now the answer will |
| Tx:30.10 | will still be times when you have judged already. Now the answer | will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to |
| Tx:30.10 | unless you quickly straighten out your mind to want an answer that | will work. Be certain this has happened if you feel yourself |
| Tx:30.14 | in a different way from what your version of the question asks | will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in which |
| Tx:30.14 | want is one in which you get your answer to your question. And you | will not get it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what |
| Tx:30.20 | 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 steps you |
| Tx:30.21 | reached the turning point, because it has occurred to you that you | will gain if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is |
| Tx:30.21 | if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is reached, you | will believe your happiness depends on being right. But this much |
| Tx:30.22 | 6. This tiny grain of wisdom | will suffice to take you further. You are not coerced but merely hope |
| Tx:30.27 | Thus you now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer | will make sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see |
| Tx:30.27 | that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor | will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who will be |
| Tx:30.27 | well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who | will be helped by it. |
| Tx:30.28 | from entering at all. But this takes practice in the rules which | will protect you from the ravages of fear. When this has been |
| Tx:30.29 | then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a simple fact. You | will not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are |
| Tx:30.29 | God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose | will join with you and tell you what to do. |
| Tx:30.31 | the world as well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it | will be what you have asked for and will reinforce the rule of your |
| Tx:30.31 | you offer to the world, for it will be what you have asked for and | will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the world. Whose kingdom |
| Tx:30.31 | world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of day | will you decide to have? |
| Tx:30.32 | that they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they asked for | will be wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that |
| Tx:30.32 | law that makes decision powerful and gives it all effects that it | will ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined before there |
| Tx:30.32 | Let this be the one reminder that you keep in mind, and you | will have the day you want and give it to the world by having it |
| Tx:30.33 | oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your | will; He speaks for you. In His divinity is but your own. And all He |
| Tx:30.33 | He 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 |
| Tx:30.33 | for you that you may do your will through Him. God asks you do your | will. He joins with you. He did not set His Kingdom up alone. And |
| Tx:30.33 | not set His Kingdom up alone. And Heaven itself but represents your | will, where everything created is for you. No spark of life but was |
| Tx:30.34 | How wonderful it is to do your | will! For that is freedom. There is nothing else that ever should be |
| Tx:30.34 | that ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your | will, you are not free. And would God leave His Son without what he |
| Tx:30.34 | chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your | will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be |
| Tx:30.34 | Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your | will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not |
| Tx:30.35 | is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it is not your | will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little |
| Tx:30.35 | fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. Your | will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. What lies in |
| Tx:30.35 | creature with a little life. Your will is boundless; it is not your | will that it be bound. What lies in you has joined with God Himself |
| Tx:30.35 | creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you and through your | will created everything. Not one created thing but gives you thanks, |
| Tx:30.35 | Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your | will that it was born. No light of Heaven shines except for you, for |

| Tx:30.37 | This world awaits the freedom you | will give when you have recognized that you are free. But you will |
| Tx:30.37 | you will give when you have recognized that you are free. But you | will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your |
| Tx:30.37 | will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your | will to you. For it is by your will the world is given freedom. Nor |
| Tx:30.37 | you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it is by your | will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him |

| Tx:30.37 | no power over him because he shares your freedom as he shares your | will. It is your will to heal him, and because you have decided with |

| Tx:30.38 | Idols are quite specific. But your | will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no form nor is |
| Tx:30.38 | Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are forms which | will bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as |
| Tx:30.38 | “I have no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it | will be as everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because |
| Tx:30.38 | everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your | will that everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for |
| Tx:30.39 | the limitless be limited? You do not want an idol. It is not your | will to have one. It will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When |
| Tx:30.39 | You do not want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It | will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the |
| Tx:30.39 | you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your | will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this |
| Tx:30.39 | thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be your | will because what shares in all creation cannot be content with small |
| Tx:30.40 | mean that you believe some form is missing. And by finding this, you | will achieve completion in a form you like. This is the purpose of an |
| Tx:30.40 | in a form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you | will not look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are |
| Tx:30.41 | the right to ask for. Nor could it be possible it be denied. Your | will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by being |

| Tx:30.41 | form. He cannot answer you in terms which have no meaning. And your | will could not be satisfied with empty forms made but to fill a gap |
| Tx:30.42 | has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his holy | will to be but what he is. For more than whole is meaningless. If |
| Tx:30.42 | make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your | will is granted. Not in any form that would content you not, but in |
| Tx:30.44 | God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It | will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot and |
| Tx:30.44 | will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot and | will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same within |

| Tx:30.54 | far beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with how this | will be done, for this you cannot understand. But you will understand |
| Tx:30.54 | with how this will be done, for this you cannot understand. But you | will understand that mighty changes have been quickly brought about |
| Tx:30.55 | to look upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your | will be done and seek no longer for the things you do not want. And |
| Tx:30.55 | and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the | Will of God. |
| Tx:30.56 | thing that he could ever want. He is delivered from illusions by his | will and but restored to what he is. What could God's plan for his |
| Tx:30.59 | the purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he | will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made |
| Tx:30.63 | they joined their hands, it was Christ's hand they took, and they | will look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked |
| Tx:30.63 | the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then | will come the knowledge They are One. |
| Tx:30.68 | then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he | will pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you |
| Tx:30.68 | remembering that he will pay the cost as well as you. For he | will be delayed when you look back, and you will not perceive Whose |
| Tx:30.68 | as well as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you | will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look forward, then, and |
| Tx:30.69 | The | Will of God forever lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they |
| Tx:30.69 | when they joined and shared a purpose, they were free to learn their | will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach to their awareness. |
| Tx:30.69 | a purpose, they were free to learn their will is one. And thus the | Will of God must reach to their awareness. Nor can they forget for |
| Tx:30.70 | Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and | will be made complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for |
| Tx:30.70 | that, by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon | will become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is |
| Tx:30.73 | you have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor | will you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your |
| Tx:30.74 | Forgiveness recognized as merited | will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook illusions. |
| Tx:30.74 | creation and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the | Will of God. Only if this were possible could there be some |
| Tx:30.76 | but only some of it. You must forgive God's Son entirely. Or you | will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain |
| Tx:30.76 | Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and | will remain afraid to look within and find escape from every idol |
| Tx:30.78 | God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor | will you know him if you think he does not merit the escape from |
| Tx:30.79 | I thank you, Father, for your perfect Son, and in his glory | will I see my own. |
| Tx:30.80 | statement that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the | Will of God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by |
| Tx:30.81 | Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you | will understand he could not make an error that could change the |
| Tx:30.81 | what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of God you | will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven image and a sign |
| Tx:30.88 | Do not interpret out of solitude, for what you see means nothing. It | will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the world is |
| Tx:30.88 | you see means nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you | will believe the world is an uncertain place in which you walk in |
| Tx:30.89 | to see beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see | will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it |
| Tx:30.93 | and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It | will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not while you |
| Tx:30.93 | no dreams about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you | will see the Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And when |
| Tx:30.93 | you let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you | will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your |
| Tx:30.94 | This | will you look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you |
| Tx:30.94 | in him in your sight of him. There is no false appearance but | will fade if you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from |
| Tx:31.1 | All it says is what was never true is not true now and never | will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And |
| Tx:31.3 | For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your | will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and even |
| Tx:31.5 | an ability you made and gave yourselves. It was not made to do the | Will of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a |
| Tx:31.5 | of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a | will apart from It was yet more real than It. And this has learning |
| Tx:31.5 | difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really true. Yet you | will learn them, for their learning is the only purpose for your |
| Tx:31.6 | no meaning? God willed not His Son forget Him. And the power of His | Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson will you |
| Tx:31.6 | power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson | will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far |
| Tx:31.6 | little learning, strange in outcome and incredible in difficulty, | will withstand the simple lessons being taught to you in every moment |
| Tx:31.7 | happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that ever | will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to |
| Tx:31.7 | the lesson which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you | will learn God's Son is innocent and see another world. |
| Tx:31.8 | in the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. And you | will understand it was this call that everyone and everything within |
| Tx:31.9 | There is no living thing which does not share the universal | will that it be whole and that you do not leave its call unheard. |
| Tx:31.10 | Who calls to you beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you | will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He |
| Tx:31.10 | Him as you give Him answer in the language that He calls. He | will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that |
| Tx:31.10 | that He calls. He will appear when you have answered Him, and you | will know in Him that God is Love. |
| Tx:31.11 | call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world | will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! |
| Tx:31.15 | is not a choice and gives but the illusion it is free, for it | will have one outcome either way. Thus is it really not a choice at |
| Tx:31.17 | What does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what | will come to you because you see an image of yourself and hear your |
| Tx:31.20 | road. He is like us, as near or far away from what we want as we | will let him be. We make no gains he does not make with us, and we |
| Tx:31.21 | Because he is your equal in God's love, you | will be saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ Who calls |
| Tx:31.22 | you ever learned before and put aside all images you made. The old | will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. |
| Tx:31.22 | fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. There | will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in |
| Tx:31.22 | upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. There | will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been |
| Tx:31.22 | upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing | will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen silently |
| Tx:31.22 | and learn the truth of what you really want. No more than this | will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand |
| Tx:31.22 | more than this will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you | will understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did |
| Tx:31.24 | of who your great companion is and what he should be asking for | will be enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his purpose |
| Tx:31.24 | he should be asking for will be enough to let this happen. And you | will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you |
| Tx:31.26 | Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to make a choice that | will result in different outcomes, there is first one thing that must |
| Tx:31.31 | Let us be glad that you | will see what you believe, and that it has been given you to change |
| Tx:31.31 | and that it has been given you to change what you believe. The body | will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be. It |
| Tx:31.31 | with your awakening. Release your body from imprisonment, and you | will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You will not |
| Tx:31.31 | and you will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You | will not want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains |
| Tx:31.32 | from imprisonment and death. Open your mind to change, and there | will be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself. For |
| Tx:31.33 | time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road | will lead you out of conflict and away from difficulties which |
| Tx:31.33 | escape from them by leaving them behind? What must go with you, you | will take with you whatever road you choose to walk along. |
| Tx:31.34 | is but the means to gain that end, for it is here that all its roads | will lead, however differently they seem to start, however |
| Tx:31.34 | Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them | will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while before the |
| Tx:31.34 | And on some the thorns are felt at once. The choice is not what | will the ending be but when it comes. |
| Tx:31.36 | you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point | will learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the |
| Tx:31.39 | direction, not away from it. And every road that leads the other way | will not advance the purpose to be found. If this be difficult to |
| Tx:31.40 | on this—you choose between your brother and yourself, and you | will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is given |
| Tx:31.40 | between your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he | will lose, and what you lose is what is given him. How utterly |
| Tx:31.41 | nor any worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world | will lead within, when every road was made to separate the journey |
| Tx:31.41 | be but futile wandering? All roads that lead away from what you are | will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet has He never left His |
| Tx:31.47 | the pathways of the world are safely kept and those who walk on them | will not escape. |
| Tx:31.50 | the single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you | will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go beyond |
| Tx:31.57 | with evil and reacts to wicked things? Your concept of yourself | will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not perceive that |
| Tx:31.57 | concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you | will not perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a |
| Tx:31.58 | You | will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one |
| Tx:31.58 | will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one | will show the changes in your own relationships as your perception of |
| Tx:31.58 | own relationships as your perception of yourself is changed. There | will be some confusion every time there is a shift, but be you |
| Tx:31.58 | upon your mind. And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it | will go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser |
| Tx:31.58 | go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser | will appear in many places and in many forms. And each will seem to |
| Tx:31.58 | the accuser will appear in many places and in many forms. And each | will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no fear it will not be undone. |
| Tx:31.58 | forms. And each will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no fear it | will not be undone. |
| Tx:31.59 | can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There | will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you |
| Tx:31.59 | them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you | will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open |
| Tx:31.61 | Yet in this learning is salvation born. And what you are | will tell you of Itself. |
| Tx:31.62 | flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never | will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that |
| Tx:31.63 | and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor | will he be the same as he is now an instant hence. Who could have |
| Tx:31.64 | how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world salvation | will undo and let you see another world your eyes could never find. |
| Tx:31.65 | Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the world that | will replace the one you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on |
| Tx:31.65 | by which to see the world that will replace the one you made. Your | will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever true. It matters |
| Tx:31.65 | you choose to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your | will be done.” And it is done to you accordingly. |
| Tx:31.66 | God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of yourself | will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be |
| Tx:31.66 | seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before | will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept |
| Tx:31.67 | to the kind in heart? And what could hurt the truly innocent? Your | will be done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter if you think |
| Tx:31.67 | as light, as innocent as Love Itself. And you are worthy that your | will be done! |
| Tx:31.69 | your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You | will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. |
| Tx:31.69 | as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but | will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful form, |
| Tx:31.70 | in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and | will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow circling |
| Tx:31.70 | as little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And this | will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world |
| Tx:31.70 | world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you | will not interpret what you see without the Aid that God has given |
| Tx:31.71 | jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for you | will love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you |
| Tx:31.77 | and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those you | will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has |
| Tx:31.79 | a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. It | will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it |
| Tx:31.79 | fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you | will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has |
| Tx:31.88 | strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They | will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the |
| Tx:31.88 | will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the | Will of God. And what they will is only what He wills. |
| Tx:31.88 | they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And what they | will is only what He wills. |
| Tx:31.92 | yourself defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you | will see all pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as |
| Tx:31.92 | that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you | will see it and believe it is. |
| Tx:31.93 | bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you | will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a |
| Tx:31.93 | is which you must share with everyone you see, for otherwise you | will behold it not. To give this gift is how to make it yours. And |
| Tx:31.94 | where God's gift can once again be recognized as ours! And thus | will all the vestiges of hell, the secret “sins,” and hidden hates be |
| Tx:31.94 | I cannot call in vain, and in His certainty I rest content. For you | will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone |
| Tx:31.94 | and in His certainty I rest content. For you will hear, and you | will choose again. And in this choice is everyone made free. |
| Tx:31.95 | are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as sure that they | will come to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. |
| Tx:31.95 | sure that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are and | will forever be. They will accept the gift I offer them because You |
| Tx:31.95 | to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. They | will accept the gift I offer them because You gave it me on their |
| Tx:31.95 | You gave it me on their behalf. And as I would but do Your holy | Will, so will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's |
| Tx:31.95 | gave it me on their behalf. And as I would but do Your holy Will, so | will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will |
| Tx:31.95 | so will they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song | will echo through the world with every choice they make. For we are |
| Tx:31.96 | my own, for they belong to You. And can You fail in what is but Your | Will? I give You thanks for what my brothers are. And as each one |
| Tx:31.97 | darkness still remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy | Will is done, complete and perfectly, and all creation recognizes You |
| W1:I.1 | to make these exercises meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which | will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish |
| W1:I.3 | purpose is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you | will understand that each of them is as applicable to one situation |
| W1:I.4 | which the idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises | will always be to increase the application of the idea to everything. |
| W1:I.4 | be to increase the application of the idea to everything. This | will not require effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in |
| W1:I.5 | Some of the ideas you | will find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling. It |
| W1:I.5 | Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and others | will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely asked |
| W1:I.5 | believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use which | will give them meaning to you and show you they are true. Remember |
| W1:I.5 | not welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this | will matter nor decrease their efficacy. But allow yourself to make |
| W1:2.1 | and do not attempt to include everything in an area or you | will introduce strain. Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around |
| W1:4.1 | Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You | will find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they |
| W1:4.3 | This is a major exercise and | will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different form. The |
| W1:4.5 | these exercises more than three or four times during the day. We | will return to them later. |
| W1:5.1 | anger, hatred, jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which | will be perceived as different. This is not true. However, until you |

| W1:6.7 | and let the others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I | will regard them all as the same. |
| W1:7.9 | experiences? How else would you know whether or not this kind of cup | will break if you drop it? What do you know about this cup except |
| W1:9.1 | you may be able to accept it intellectually, it is unlikely that it | will mean anything to you as yet. However, understanding is not |
| W1:9.2 | that is required for these or any other exercises. Each little step | will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will |
| W1:9.2 | step will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding | will finally come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been |

| W1:10.1 | again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you | will have no doubt that what you once believed were your thoughts did |
| W1:10.5 | This idea | will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
| W1:10.9 | This idea | will help to release me from all that I now believe. |
| W1:11.4 | Three practice periods today | will probably be sufficient. However, if there is little or no |
| W1:12.8 | The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you | will see His. That is the ultimate purpose of these exercises. |
| W1:13.1 | Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you | will not think you perceive something that has no meaning. On the |
| W1:13.1 | you perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary, you | will be particularly likely to think you do perceive it. |
| W1:13.3 | accept it without fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you | will endow the world with attributes which it does not possess and |
| W1:13.8 | You are not expected to believe the statement at this point and | will probably try to dismiss it as preposterous. Note carefully, |
| W1:13.8 | try not even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That | will suffice at present. |
| W1:14.2 | with today's idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it | will be because you really understand what they are for. |
| W1:14.3 | can be quite difficult and even quite painful. Some of them | will lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You |

| W1:15.2 | idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing | will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it |
| W1:15.2 | which you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You | will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light |

| W1:15.3 | of them. They are signs that you are opening your eyes at last. They | will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and |
| W1:15.3 | perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises | will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the way to it. |
| W1:15.3 | These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. But they | will prepare the way to it. |
| W1:15.7 | Although you | will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things |
| W1:15.7 | try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute | will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not |
| W1:16.2 | or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you | will not extend it by doing so. |
| W1:16.3 | you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We | will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it. |
| W1:16.4 | the search. This is quite difficult until you get used to it. You | will find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial |
| W1:16.9 | you find them relatively effortless. If strain is experienced, three | will be enough. The length of the exercise period should also be |
| W1:18.1 | It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which | will be given increasing stress later. |
| W1:18.2 | see as much as to how you see it. Therefore, the exercises for today | will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or four |
| W1:18.7 | A minute or so or even less | will be sufficient. |
| W1:19.1 | obviously the reason why your seeing does not affect you alone. You | will notice that at times the ideas related to thinking precede those |
| W1:19.2 | private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you | will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at |
| W1:19.2 | is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the | Will of God. |
| W1:19.5 | for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and | will no longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be |
| W1:19.5 | to you by now and will no longer be repeated each day, although it | will occasionally be included as a reminder. Do not forget, however, |
| W1:19.5 | remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this connection | will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles |
| W1:20.1 | of your thinking. The salvation of the world depends on it. Yet you | will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced and if you give |
| W1:20.2 | fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed | will be your reward. |
| W1:20.3 | not? God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. His | Will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth. |
| W1:20.5 | or event which upsets you. You can see them differently, and you | will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of cause |
| W1:20.5 | You can see them differently, and you will. What you desire, you | will see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in |
| W1:21.2 | rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. You | will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is |
| W1:21.3 | and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You | will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on |
| W1:22.1 | change how he sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack | will preoccupy him and people his entire world. What peace of mind is |
| W1:22.4 | I see only the perishable. I see nothing that | will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a form of vengeance. |
| W1:23.1 | The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that | will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is |
| W1:23.1 | the only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else | will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. |
| W1:23.2 | about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects | will change automatically. |
| W1:23.4 | now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you | will love them even though they were made of hate. For you will not |
| W1:23.4 | that you will love them even though they were made of hate. For you | will not be making them alone. |
| W1:23.5 | have already been replaced. By taking the first two steps, you | will see that this is so. |
| W1:23.9 | that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you | will be ready to let the cause go. |
| W1:24.1 | and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you | will not serve your own best interests. Yet they are your only goal |
| W1:24.1 | goal in any situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you | will not recognize what they are. |
| W1:24.3 | each of the five practice periods which should be undertaken today, | will be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large |
| W1:24.4 | The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you want. You | will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in mind as part |
| W1:24.8 | If these exercises are done properly, you | will quickly recognize that you are making a large number of demands |
| W1:24.8 | of demands of the situation which have nothing to do with it. You | will also recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that |
| W1:25.2 | As a 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 |
| W1:26.1 | through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that | will ultimately save you. But you are misusing it now. You must |
| W1:26.2 | Because your attack thoughts | will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you |
| W1:26.2 | Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you | will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you |
| W1:26.4 | Practice with today's idea | will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is |
| W1:26.6 | to recur in your thoughts during the day is a suitable subject. You | will not be able to use very many for any one practice period, |
| W1:26.10 | I am afraid ______ | will happen. |
| W1:26.12 | As the list of anticipated outcomes for each situation continues, you | will probably find some of them, especially those which occur to you |
| W1:27.1 | The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea | will be wholly true a little nearer. |
| W1:27.6 | afterwards and attempt to adhere to it throughout the day. It | will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in |
| W1:27.7 | The real question is how often | will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true? |
| W1:27.7 | Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You | will probably miss several applications and perhaps quite a number. |
| W1:28.1 | to the idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you | will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of |
| W1:28.1 | making a series of definite commitments. The question of whether you | will keep them in the future is not our concern here. If you are |
| W1:28.2 | You either see or not. When you have seen one thing differently, you | will see all things differently. The light you will see in any one of |
| W1:28.2 | differently, you will see all things differently. The light you | will see in any one of them is the same light you will see in them |
| W1:28.2 | The light you will see in any one of them is the same light you | will see in them all. |
| W1:28.4 | You | will not question what we have already defined. And the purpose of |
| W1:28.6 | are therefore really asking to see the purpose of the universe. You | will be making this same request of each subject which you use in the |
| W1:28.7 | We | will have six two minute practice periods today in which the idea for |
| W1:29.2 | You | will probably find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point. |
| W1:29.3 | When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you | will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand |
| W1:29.3 | up the world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you | will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult. |
| W1:30.1 | The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea | will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see |
| W1:30.1 | vision. From this idea will the world open up before you, and you | will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor |
| W1:30.1 | will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor | will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you. |
| W1:31.1 | see without and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we | will use a form of practice which will be used more and more, with |
| W1:31.1 | within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which | will be used more and more, with changes as indicated. Generally |
| W1:31.2 | close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You | will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the |
| W1:31.5 | a response to any form of temptation. It is a declaration that you | will not yield to it and put yourself in bondage. |
| W1:32.1 | you invented it. You can give it up as easily as you made it up. You | will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you will |
| W1:32.1 | You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you | will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be there for you |
| W1:32.1 | While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it | will not be there for you to see. |
| W1:32.2 | since you see them as different, the practice periods for today | will again include two phases, one involving the world you see |
| W1:32.3 | Again we | will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening by |
| W1:33.5 | and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes | will probably help in this form of application. |
| W1:34.7 | them to repeating the idea until you feel some sense of relief. It | will help you if you tell yourself specifically: |
| W1:35.1 | the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision | will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this |
| W1:35.2 | You | will believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is |
| W1:35.3 | Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth. We | will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's idea |
| W1:35.5 | In the earlier part of the mind searching period, you | will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more negative |
| W1:35.8 | You should not think of these terms in an abstract way. They | will occur to you as various situations, personalities and events in |
| W1:35.10 | During the longer exercise periods, there | will probably be intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you. |
| W1:37.2 | can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other way of seeing | will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. As a result, |
| W1:37.2 | demand payment of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver | will lose. Nor will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his |
| W1:37.2 | of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor | will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored |
| W1:38.3 | In today's exercises, we | will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties, |
| W1:38.3 | any form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else. We | will make no distinctions because there are no distinctions. |
| W1:39.3 | must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's exercises | will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial |
| W1:39.4 | answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or | will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and |
| W1:39.7 | that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that | will save you and give you vision. |
| W1:39.10 | of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It | will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and |
| W1:40.1 | Today we | will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are |
| W1:40.2 | You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you | will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in |
| W1:40.7 | merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God | will do. |
| W1:41.1 | Today's idea | will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and |
| W1:41.2 | ready to radiate through you and out into the whole world. It | will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal |
| W1:41.2 | world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it | will heal the mind that thought these things were real and suffered |
| W1:41.4 | dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we | will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy |
| W1:41.5 | There | will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon |
| W1:41.7 | might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way | will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring |
| W1:41.7 | it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is always successful. We | will go into more detail in connection with this kind of practice as |
| W1:41.7 | in connection with this kind of practice as we go along. But it | will never fail completely, and instant success is possible. |
| W1:42.1 | cannot fail in your efforts to achieve the goal of the course. You | will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your |
| W1:42.1 | to achieve the goal of the course. You will see because it is the | Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power. |
| W1:42.3 | We | will have two three- to five-minute longer exercise periods today, |
| W1:42.10 | The more often you repeat the idea during the day, the more often you | will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important |
| W1:43.1 | knowledge forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception | will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. |
| W1:43.1 | with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it | will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy Spirit sees |
| W1:44.3 | we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we | will use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which |
| W1:44.3 | use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which we | will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult form for |
| W1:44.4 | by 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 |
| W1:44.5 | untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we | will use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong |
| W1:44.5 | the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you | will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While |
| W1:44.6 | If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you | will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and fears |
| W1:44.9 | your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you | will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try, |
| W1:45.1 | Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision | will show you. |
| W1:45.3 | Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we | will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your |
| W1:45.3 | are your real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We | will have to look for them in your mind because that is where they |
| W1:45.4 | Our three five-minute practice periods for today | will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's |
| W1:45.4 | the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We | will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny |
| W1:45.4 | idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We | will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts |
| W1:45.4 | 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 will not |
| W1:45.4 | We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we | will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would |
| W1:45.5 | Instead, we | will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is |
| W1:45.5 | try to recognize 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 |
| W1:45.5 | that only 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 |
| W1:45.5 | would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you | will succeed today. It is the Will of God. |
| W1:45.5 | reason to feel confident that you will succeed today. It is the | Will of God. |
| W1:45.9 | They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They | will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were. |
| W1:45.10 | Everything that you have thought since then | will change, but the foundation on which they rest is wholly |
| W1:45.11 | and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You | will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to |
| W1:46.13 | however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. They | will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of |
| W1:47.1 | you the recognition of the right solution and the guarantee that it | will be accomplished? |
| W1:47.4 | Today we | will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real |
| W1:47.6 | the situation successfully. It is not by trusting yourself that you | will gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful in |
| W1:47.8 | try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You | will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep |
| W1:48.2 | Today's practice periods | will be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the |
| W1:49.3 | We | will need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more |
| W1:49.3 | four five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We | will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your |
| W1:49.3 | actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. We | will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, |
| W1:49.3 | with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our | will with the Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It |
| W1:49.3 | knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the | Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be |
| W1:50.2 | Do not put your faith in the worthless. It | will not sustain you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all |
| W1:50.2 | in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of God | will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every |
| W1:50.2 | you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It | will lift you out of every trial and raise you high above all the |
| W1:50.2 | dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It | will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten, |
| W1:50.3 | Put not your faith in illusions. They | will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you, |
| W1:R1.1 | Beginning with today, we | will have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover five of |
| W1:R1.1 | with today, we will have a series of review periods. Each of them | will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting with the |
| W1:R1.1 | starting with the first and ending with the fiftieth. There | will be a few short comments after each of the ideas, which you |
| W1:R1.4 | is emphasized particularly for reviews at your stage of learning. It | will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no special |
| W1:R1.4 | no special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You | will need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather |
| W1:R1.5 | by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. You | will yet learn that peace is part of you and requires only that you |
| W1:R1.5 | be there to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you | will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your |
| W1:R1.6 | You | will note that for review purposes the ideas are not always given in |
| W1:52.3 | my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I | will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and |
| W1:52.3 | who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There | will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will look with love |
| W1:52.3 | I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I | will look with love on all that I failed to see before. |
| W1:53.1 | Today we | will review the following: |
| W1:53.4 | this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I | will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am |
| W1:53.6 | images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my | will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods |
| W1:53.6 | prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My | will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. |
| W1:53.6 | Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I | will place no other gods before Him. |
| W1:54.2 | thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have power. They | will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But |
| W1:54.2 | effects. As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so | will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be |
| W1:54.4 | the real thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts show me | will dawn on their sight as well as mine. |
| W1:54.6 | loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my | will and the Will of God are one. |
| W1:54.6 | look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the | Will of God are one. |
| W1:55.3 | attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts | will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace |
| W1:55.4 | of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I | will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to |
| W1:56.2 | But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts | will teach me what it is. |
| W1:56.3 | 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 look upon the |
| W1:56.3 | by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I | will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love. |
| W1:56.5 | love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my | will united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and |
| W1:56.5 | undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the | Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. |
| W1:56.5 | everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him | will yet look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond |
| W1:57.5 | peace instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I | will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules |
| W1:57.5 | laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I | will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will |
| W1:57.5 | to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I | will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share |
| W1:59.4 | see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His | Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see |
| W1:59.5 | Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it | will show me. |
| W1:60.2 | see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I | will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on |
| W1:60.2 | my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It | will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach |
| W1:60.4 | [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the world | will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like |
| W1:60.4 | to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It | will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and |
| W1:60.4 | like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see | will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my |
| W1:60.4 | Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I | will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to |
| W1:61.4 | You | will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is |
| W1:61.8 | sure both to begin and end the day with a practice period. Thus you | will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself, |
| W1:61.9 | obviously 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 |
| W1:62.1 | It is your forgiveness that | will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness |
| W1:62.3 | Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness | will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and |
| W1:62.3 | not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It | will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your |
| W1:62.3 | remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It | will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the |
| W1:62.3 | from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It | will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your |
| W1:62.4 | idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It | will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. |
| W1:62.4 | help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it | will help those around you as well as those who seem to be far away |
| W1:62.7 | or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it | will bring you. |
| W1:62.8 | Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart | will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that |
| W1:63.2 | Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you | will forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is |
| W1:63.3 | Recognizing the importance of this function, we | will be happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the day |
| W1:63.3 | this function, we will be happy to remember it very often today. We | will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day with the |
| W1:63.3 | with the thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, we | will repeat this as often as we can: |
| W1:63.5 | If you can close your eyes, you | will probably find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in |
| W1:64.4 | Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God | will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by |
| W1:64.6 | Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you | will make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each |
| W1:64.6 | make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one | will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a simple decision |
| W1:64.9 | 15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related thoughts | will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your |
| W1:64.10 | and then to thinking about them and about nothing else. This | will be difficult at first particularly, since you are not proficient |
| W1:65.4 | time for God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you | will pursue. This is part of the long range disciplinary training |
| W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering thoughts | will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so |
| W1:65.11 | trying to focus on its importance to you, the relief its acceptance | will bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all, and the |
| W1:65.14 | keep them open and look about you. It is what you see now that | will be totally changed when you accept today's idea completely. |
| W1:66.3 | Today we | will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the |
| W1:66.3 | meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your function. We | will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We will not |
| W1:66.3 | We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We | will not become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and |
| W1:66.3 | in defining happiness and determining the means for achieving it. We | will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We |
| W1:66.3 | 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. |
| W1:66.12 | Yet the ego is the only alternative to the Holy Spirit's Voice. You | will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as |
| W1:66.16 | It | will not take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these |
| W1:67.2 | We | will make every effort today to reach this truth about you and to |
| W1:67.2 | a moment, that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we | will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and |
| W1:67.2 | your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We | will begin by repeating this truth about you and then spend a few |
| W1:67.6 | other thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you | will succeed in going past that and through the interval of |
| W1:67.6 | you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you | will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel |
| W1:67.7 | It | will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for today as |
| W1:68.4 | It is as sure that those who hold grievances | will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God |
| W1:68.4 | them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances | will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find |
| W1:68.4 | grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive | will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will |
| W1:68.4 | will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances | will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will |
| W1:68.4 | will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive | will remember. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances |
| 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 |
| W1:68.5 | feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there | will never be a problem in motivation ever again. |
| W1:68.6 | whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these | will be quite easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor |
| W1:68.6 | you hold against those you like and even think you love. It | will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do |
| W1:68.10 | Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I | will know I am perfectly safe. |
| W1:69.5 | which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We | will make this attempt today. |
| W1:69.7 | If you are doing the exercises properly, you | will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your |
| W1:69.7 | call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself | will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His |
| W1:69.7 | will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His | Will. You cannot fail because your will is His. |
| W1:69.7 | light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your | will is His. |
| W1:69.8 | answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and you | will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to |
| W1:69.8 | in your mind. 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 |
| W1:69.8 | Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His | Will and yours may be done. |
| W1:69.9 | In the shorter practice periods, which you | will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of |
| W1:69.12 | If I hold this grievance, the light of the world | will be hidden from me, |
| W1:70.5 | was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that God's | Will and ours are really the same in this. |
| W1:70.7 | periods today, each of which should last some ten to 15 minutes. We | will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We will |
| W1:70.7 | We will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We | will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again |
| W1:70.12 | Now we | will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your |
| W1:70.12 | It is past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you | will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light. |
| W1:70.13 | think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this | will be no idle fantasy. |
| W1:71.1 | after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you | will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe it. |
| W1:71.4 | any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it | will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, |
| W1:71.4 | that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search | will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has |
| W1:71.4 | grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person | will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success. |
| W1:71.4 | things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation | will yet offer success. |
| W1:71.5 | but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you | will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in |
| W1:71.6 | where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you | will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose |
| W1:71.6 | to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you | will attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are |
| W1:71.7 | The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation | will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is |
| W1:71.7 | this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that | will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. |
| W1:71.9 | equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation | will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become |
| W1:71.9 | the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans | will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the |
| W1:71.9 | free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan | will succeed. It will lead to release and joy. |
| W1:71.9 | have led to depression and anger. But God's plan will succeed. It | will lead to release and joy. |
| W1:71.12 | you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He | will answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. |
| W1:71.13 | tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, | will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and |
| W1:71.14 | is the opposite of God's plan for salvation. And only His plan | will work. |
| W1:72.9 | We | will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will |
| W1:72.9 | We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We | will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been |
| W1:72.13 | Then we | will wait in quiet for His answer. |
| W1:72.14 | see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you | will be answered. Seek and you will find. |
| W1:72.14 | is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you | will find. |
| W1:72.15 | it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer | will be true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your |
| W1:72.17 | He | will answer. Be determined to hear. |
| W1:72.18 | One or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour | will be enough for today since they will be somewhat longer than |
| W1:72.18 | shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today since they | will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises begin with this: |
| W1:73.1 | Today we are considering the | will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's idle |
| W1:73.1 | ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The | will you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The |
| W1:73.3 | Your | will is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is |
| W1:73.3 | with each exchange. Can such a world have been created by the | will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster |
| W1:73.3 | his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the | will of Both together. Would God create a world that kills Himself? |
| W1:73.4 | Today we | will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your |
| W1:73.4 | try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your | will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of God. |
| W1:73.4 | with your will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the | Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it. |
| W1:73.5 | Yet the light which shines upon this world reflects your | will, and so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture |
| W1:73.5 | upon this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we | will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is |
| W1:73.5 | on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your | will, and lets you look upon a world of light. |
| W1:73.7 | is not 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 |
| W1:73.7 | really want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your | will as well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do today. |
| W1:73.8 | We | will succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for |
| W1:73.8 | We will succeed today if you remember that you | will salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's plan because |
| W1:73.8 | today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You | will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no will |
| W1:73.8 | You will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no | will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so. |
| W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your | will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it. |
| W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your | will is free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we |
| W1:73.9 | the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we | will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your |
| W1:73.9 | today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your | will to find and remember what it is your will to remember. No idle |
| W1:73.9 | will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your | will to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an |
| W1:73.9 | us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your | will be done. And end forever the insane belief that it is hell in |
| W1:73.10 | We | will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that |
| W1:73.10 | plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your | will. It is not the purpose of an alien power, thrust upon you |
| W1:73.11 | You | will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of |
| W1:73.11 | release of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His | will is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to |
| W1:73.12 | After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your | will clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet |
| W1:73.13 | I | will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will |
| W1:73.13 | I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's | Will and mine. |
| W1:73.14 | Then let your | will assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your |
| W1:73.16 | I | will there be light. Darkness is not my will. |
| W1:73.16 | I will there be light. Darkness is not my | will. |
| W1:73.17 | immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. This | will help you let your grievances go instead of cherishing them and |
| W1:74.1 | toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is the only | will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your |
| W1:74.1 | will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your | will is His. The belief that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has |
| W1:74.1 | idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the | Will of God, you have no goal but His. |
| W1:74.4 | There is no | will but God's. I cannot be in conflict. |
| W1:74.6 | I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My | will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son. |
| W1:74.6 | I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My | will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son. |
| W1:74.8 | There is no | will but God's. These conflict thoughts are meaningless. |
| W1:74.10 | There is no | will but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about _____ cannot |
| W1:74.11 | but the difference is easily detected. If you are succeeding, you | will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness rather than |
| W1:74.11 | and enervation. Joy characterizes peace. By this experience | will you recognize that you have reached it. |
| W1:74.14 | There is no | will but God's. I seek His peace today. |
| W1:75.3 | Our exercises for today | will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of the |
| W1:75.3 | 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 given |
| W1:75.3 | us. Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We | will be given what we desire. We will to see the light; the light has |
| W1:75.3 | world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We | will to see the light; the light has come. |
| W1:75.4 | Our longer practice periods | will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness shows |
| W1:75.9 | never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He | will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with |
| W1:75.9 | Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He | will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true |
| W1:75.9 | forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He | will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have |
| W1:75.9 | watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His | Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will |
| W1:75.9 | His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He | will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the world. |
| W1:75.10 | to look upon the world He promised you. From this time forth you | will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the |
| W1:75.10 | forth you will see differently. Today the light has come. And you | will see the world that has been promised you since time began, and |
| W1:75.11 | The shorter practice periods, too, | will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind yourself every |
| W1:75.11 | past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see | will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever. Say, |
| W1:75.11 | fail to see today. And what you see will be so welcome that you | will gladly extend today forever. Say, then: |
| W1:76.2 | Today we | will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever |
| W1:76.2 | is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it | will be found. Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else. |
| W1:76.3 | or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle | will ward off death. You really think you are alone unless another |
| W1:76.4 | of medicine, of economics, and of health. Protect the body, and you | will be saved. |
| W1:76.5 | by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers that the mind | will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is |
| W1:76.6 | it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to His | Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not |
| W1:76.6 | it is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide | will save you. |
| 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 |
| W1:76.8 | We | will begin the longer practice period today with a short review of |
| W1:76.10 | silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the truth to you. You | will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of |
| 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 | Let us today open God's channels to Him and let His | Will extend through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. |
| W1:76.12 | through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice | will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His |
| W1:76.12 | as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We | will repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there |
| W1:76.12 | we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we | will tell ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period |
| W1:76.14 | We | will repeat this dedication as often as possible today—at least |
| W1:77.1 | You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You | will receive miracles because of what God is. And you will offer |
| W1:77.1 | you are. You will receive miracles because of what God is. And you | will offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple |
| W1:77.1 | It is merely 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 belong to |
| W1:77.3 | We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we | will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less. |
| W1:77.3 | to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we | will not content ourselves with less. |
| W1:77.5 | You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but asking that the | Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really ask for |
| W1:77.6 | at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You | will receive the assurance that you seek. |
| W1:77.7 | Our shorter practice periods | will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple |
| W1:77.7 | Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and | will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself |
| W1:77.9 | them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. You | will recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to |
| W1:77.11 | I | will not trade miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to |
| W1:78.1 | it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your eyes, you | will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you |
| W1:78.2 | we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We | will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it |
| W1:78.2 | the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We | will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently |
| W1:78.3 | He waits for you behind your grievances, and as you lay them down, he | will appear in shining light where each one stood before. For every |
| W1:78.4 | Today we | will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to |
| W1:78.4 | Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We | will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our |
| W1:78.4 | to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we | will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world |
| W1:78.5 | We | will select one person you have used as target for your grievances |
| W1:78.6 | know the one to choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He | will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through |
| W1:78.6 | seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you | will learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in |
| W1:78.7 | Our longer practice periods today | will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind, |
| W1:78.7 | Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We | will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him. |
| W1:78.7 | attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him. We | will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the |
| W1:78.7 | his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he gave. We | will regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we |
| W1:78.7 | regard 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 | you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him | will free you both. |
| W1:78.12 | We | will remember this throughout the day and take the role assigned to |
| W1:79.1 | you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved already, you | will still have the problem because you cannot recognize that it has |
| W1:79.7 | In our longer practice periods today, we | will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We will |
| W1:79.7 | we will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We | will not assume that we already know. We will try to free our minds |
| W1:79.7 | is 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 |
| W1:79.7 | all 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 |
| W1:79.7 | that we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize. We | will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we |
| W1:79.7 | to recognize. We will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We | will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we will be |
| W1:79.7 | ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we | will ask for the solution to it. And we will be told. |
| W1:79.7 | We will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we | will be told. |
| W1:79.8 | Our exercises for today | will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on |
| W1:79.8 | extent to which we do not insist on defining the problem. Perhaps we | will not succeed in letting all our preconceived notions go, but that |
| 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 | practice periods for today will not be set by time but by need. You | will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our |
| W1:79.9 | see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts | will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem |
| W1:79.12 | If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You | will be heard and you will be answered. |
| W1:79.12 | your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you | will be answered. |
| W1:80.1 | If you are willing to recognize your problems, you | will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem |
| W1:80.3 | you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms | will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem—one |
| W1:80.4 | In our longer practice periods today, we | will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the |
| W1:R2.1 | We are now ready for another review. We | will begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each |
| W1:R2.1 | left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day | will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day |
| W1:R2.1 | one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We | will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in |
| W1:R2.2 | The longer practice periods | will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of |
| W1:R2.3 | There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you | will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you want |
| W1:R2.3 | them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your | will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you |
| W1:R2.5 | and a more specific form when needed. Some specific forms | will be included in the comments. These, however, are merely |
| W1:81.4 | the light of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow | will vanish before the light. |
| W1:81.5 | the light of the world. It is through accepting my function that I | will see the light in me. And in this light will my function stand |
| W1:81.5 | my function that I will see the light in me. And in this light | will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my |
| W1:81.5 | what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I | will trust that in the light I will see it as it is. |
| W1:81.5 | not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I | will see it as it is. |
| W1:81.7 | what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my | will. I would not use this for an alien purpose. |
| W1:82.1 | We | will review these ideas today: |
| W1:82.5 | my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my function, I | will not experience the joy that God intends for me. |
| W1:84.2 | 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 replace my |
| W1:84.7 | This is no justification for denying my Self. I | will not use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to attack |
| W1:85.1 | Today's review | will cover these ideas: |
| W1:85.2 | to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this | will be the means by which I will succeed. |
| W1:85.2 | aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I | will succeed. |
| W1:85.4 | Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the world | will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to see. |
| W1:85.5 | [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I | will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source |
| W1:85.5 | It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I | will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then |
| W1:85.5 | It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it | will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light |
| W1:85.5 | in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see | will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself. |
| W1:85.7 | Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation. I | will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my |
| W1:86.2 | [71] Only God's plan for salvation | will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for |
| W1:86.2 | I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I | will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation |
| W1:86.2 | I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation | will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail. |
| W1:86.2 | no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will work. And I | will rejoice because His plan can never fail. |
| W1:86.4 | God's plan for salvation | will save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in |
| W1:86.5 | grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation | will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I |
| W1:86.5 | prove that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan | will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only |
| W1:86.7 | as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I | will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for salvation, |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 | there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not my | will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of |
| W1:87.2 | 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 what it |
| W1:87.2 | shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I | will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the |
| W1:87.2 | it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I | will experience the peace of true perception. |
| W1:87.4 | This cannot hide the light I | will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this |
| W1:87.4 | I will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this | will look different. |
| W1:87.5 | [74] There is no | will but God's. I am safe today because there is no will but God's. I |
| 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 when I believe that there is |
| W1:87.5 | God's. I 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 |
| W1:87.5 | attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I | will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because |
| W1:87.5 | that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no | will but God's. |
| W1:87.7 | Let me perceive this in accordance with the | Will of God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as |
| W1:87.7 | Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's | Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's |
| W1:87.7 | you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's | Will for me, however I may see it. |
| W1:88.1 | Today we | will review these ideas: |
| W1:89.5 | [78] Let miracles replace all grievances. By this idea do I unite my | will with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do |
| W1:90.1 | For this review we | will use these ideas: |
| W1:90.4 | to me which I would have resolved. The miracle behind this grievance | will resolve it for me. The answer to this problem is the miracle |
| W1:90.5 | problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit | will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is |
| W1:90.5 | cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I | will let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could |
| W1:90.5 | by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I | will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which |
| W1:90.6 | These forms of the idea | will be useful for specific applications: |
| W1:90.7 | to be resolved. The answer to this problem is already given me if I | will accept it. Time cannot separate this problem from its solution. |
| W1:91.1 | to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You | will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark. |
| W1:91.1 | of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you | will not see them in the dark. |
| W1:91.4 | realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we | will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength. |
| W1:91.4 | strength in you which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you | will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap |
| W1:91.4 | reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides | will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in you. |
| W1:91.5 | goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your | will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do |
| W1:91.5 | your mind accordingly. Your will remains your teacher, and your | will has all the strength to do what it desires. You can escape the |
| W1:91.12 | faith. Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You | will become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you |
| W1:91.13 | strength of God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength | will come. It is through Their strong support that you will feel the |
| W1:91.13 | your strength will come. It is through Their strong support that you | will feel the strength in you. They are united with you in this |
| W1:91.13 | you share a purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you | will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength |
| W1:92.6 | Truth is a savior and can only | will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to |
| W1:92.6 | is shared that it may bring to all the miracle in which they | will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love. |
| W1:92.9 | The strength in you | will offer you the light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell |
| W1:92.10 | this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength | will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, |
| W1:92.10 | is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we | will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking |
| W1:92.11 | Morning and evening we | will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we will use the day in |
| W1:92.11 | and evening we will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we | will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will |
| W1:92.11 | we will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we | will meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can |
| W1:93.3 | thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's | Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough |
| W1:93.4 | and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the | Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think |
| W1:93.5 | power can this self you made possess when it would contradict the | Will of God? |
| W1:93.7 | and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and | will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace |
| W1:93.8 | if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we | will begin by stating the truth about our creation: |
| W1:94.2 | strong in the sinlessness in which you were created and in which you | will remain throughout eternity. |
| W1:94.3 | Today we | will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the |
| W1:94.6 | in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself promised that it | will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking now. You |
| 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 a milestone in |
| W1:95.3 | We | will attempt today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what |
| W1:95.3 | aware of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We | will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which |
| W1:95.7 | We | will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for |
| W1:95.7 | to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour | will be particularly helpful since it imposes firmer structure. Do |
| W1:95.10 | This tolerance for weakness | will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our |
| 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 you in |
| W1:95.17 | One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there | will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your |
| W1:95.17 | with your brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His | Will. |
| W1:95.19 | to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you | will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be |
| W1:96.1 | solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you | will never be compatible. But one exists. |
| W1:96.2 | be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you | will attempt endless lists of goals you cannot reach; a senseless |
| W1:96.2 | one as futile as the one before and failing as the next one surely | will. |
| W1:96.9 | We | will attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind |
| W1:96.9 | speaks to you from your One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing | will be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this |
| W1:96.10 | and what your mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its | will. |
| 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 |
| W1:96.15 | your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your Self | will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will |
| W1:96.15 | Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it | will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things created |
| W1:96.15 | the Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind | will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have |
| W1:96.16 | while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences it | will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every |
| W1:96.16 | by this. The joy your Self experiences it will save for you, and it | will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend five |
| W1:96.17 | growing store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it and | will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give |
| W1:97.1 | the truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it | will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No |
| W1:97.4 | and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He | will offer all His strength to every little effort which you make. |
| W1:97.6 | The Holy Spirit | will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands and |
| W1:97.6 | around this aching world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He | will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gift |
| W1:97.6 | and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind that | will accept the healing gift they bring, and He will lay them |
| W1:97.6 | one open mind that will accept the healing gift they bring, and He | will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will |
| W1:97.6 | gift they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they | will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each time |
| W1:97.6 | He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they | will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his |
| W1:97.7 | Thus | will your gift to Him be multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of |
| W1:97.7 | and tens of thousands more. And when it is returned to you, it | will surpass in might the little gift you gave as much as does the |
| W1:97.7 | tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out. Yet | will the steady brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of |
| W1:97.7 | brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of darkness, nor | will you be able to forget the way again. |
| W1:97.10 | Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit | will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, |
| W1:97.11 | Offer each practice period today gladly to Him. And He | will speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him |
| W1:98.1 | on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We | will not vacillate between the two but take a firm position with the |
| W1:98.1 | ourselves to truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We | will not argue it is something else; we will not seek for it where it |
| W1:98.1 | as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we | will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it |
| W1:98.3 | threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they | will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own |
| W1:98.3 | They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function | will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They took |
| 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 |
| W1:98.4 | They | will be with us—all who took the stand we take today will gladly |
| 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 made. |
| W1:98.4 | they learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too | will join with us and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger |
| W1:98.4 | still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing our certainty, | will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the |
| W1:98.4 | certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn | will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have come to |
| W1:98.7 | Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He | will give the words you use in practicing today's idea the deep |
| W1:98.7 | idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words | will join with yours and make each repetition of today's idea a total |
| W1:98.8 | His confidence in you | will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond |
| W1:98.8 | in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you | will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you |
| W1:98.9 | I | will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. |
| W1:98.10 | In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He | will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with |
| W1:98.10 | you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they | will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance |
| W1:98.11 | Give Him the words, and He | will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special |
| W1:98.11 | Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He | will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up |
| W1:98.11 | the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He | will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His |
| W1:98.11 | function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust | will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He will respond with all |
| W1:98.11 | and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He | will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you |
| W1:98.11 | His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you | will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have |
| W1:98.11 | Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He | will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging |
| W1:98.12 | time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you | will spend again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the |
| W1:98.13 | the part which He would have you take and help you fill, and He | will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you |
| W1:99.1 | that needs corrective change, something apart or different from the | Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the impossible |
| W1:99.5 | thing must still be true—God still is Love, and this is not His | Will. |
| W1:99.8 | is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His | Will. |
| W1:99.9 | You who | will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today. |
| W1:99.9 | lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His | Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let |
| W1:99.9 | places of your mind which thought the thoughts that never were His | Will. |
| W1:99.10 | make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you | will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. Open your |
| W1:99.11 | spots and shine through them to join them to the rest. It is God's | Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one |
| W1:99.11 | to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's | Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is |
| W1:99.11 | one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's | Will that His one Son is you. |
| W1:99.17 | is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His | Will. |
| W1:100.2 | God's | Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go |
| W1:100.2 | you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His | Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His |
| W1:100.2 | to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They | will see their function in your shining face and hear God calling to |
| W1:100.4 | They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who | will accept their Father's gifts as theirs. |
| W1:100.5 | We | will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take |
| W1:100.6 | Today we | will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad, |
| W1:100.7 | who looks on you and sees His message in your happy face. We | will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute practice |
| W1:100.7 | periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father's | Will and ours. |
| W1:100.9 | us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's | Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that you |
| W1:100.10 | He | will be there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather look |
| W1:100.10 | keep you from success when He Who calls to you is God Himself? He | will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger |
| W1:101.1 | Today we | will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in |
| W1:101.2 | and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it | will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form |
| W1:101.2 | they owe to God. They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He | will pursue, and they cannot escape. |
| W1:101.3 | never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it | will kill but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the |
| W1:101.5 | teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin | will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open |
| W1:101.6 | as we can today because it is the basis for today's idea. God's | Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and |
| W1:101.7 | Fear not the | Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free |
| W1:101.7 | Fear not the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it | will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in |
| W1:101.8 | God's | Will for me is perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no |
| W1:101.9 | periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts | will introduce into your mind. Give these five minutes gladly to |
| W1:101.11 | God's | Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the truth because there is |
| W1:102.2 | You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy | Will of God. |
| W1:102.3 | For several days we | will continue to devote our longer practice periods to exercises |
| W1:102.3 | periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's | Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here your safety is. |
| W1:102.4 | Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's | Will for you: |
| W1:102.5 | I share God's | Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now. |
| W1:102.6 | to find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share God's | Will. |
| W1:102.7 | as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with God's | Will in doing this. |
| W1:103.3 | This basic error we | will try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves: |
| W1:103.6 | what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it | will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the |
| W1:104.2 | His are the gifts which we inherited before time was and which | will still be ours when time has passed into eternity. |
| W1:104.3 | we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we | will to have them now and know in choosing them in place of what we |
| W1:104.3 | and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite our | will with what God wills and recognize the same as being one. |
| W1:104.8 | So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His | Will is done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His |
| W1:104.8 | already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We | will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come |
| W1:104.8 | times we come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder | will we bring to mind as often as we can: |
| W1:105.1 | God's peace and joy are yours. Today we | will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try to |
| W1:105.1 | yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we | will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They |
| W1:105.4 | Accept God's peace and joy, and you | will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will |
| W1:105.4 | and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts | will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase |
| W1:105.6 | joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion. You | will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as |
| W1:105.6 | 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 today by thinking of those |
| W1:106.1 | If you | will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; |
| W1:106.1 | aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you | will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you |
| W1:106.1 | its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you | will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what salvation |
| W1:106.1 | an open mind, which has not told you what salvation is; then you | will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in |
| W1:106.4 | dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They | will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last |
| W1:106.6 | to speak 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 |
| W1:106.6 | that 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 |
| W1:106.6 | for salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you | will learn your function from the One Who chose it in your Father's |
| W1:106.7 | Listen today, and you | will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world through |
| W1:106.7 | Listen today, and you will hear a Voice Which | will resound throughout the world through you. The Bringer of all |
| W1:106.7 | it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given away, it | will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been learned. |
| W1:106.9 | I | will be still and listen to the truth. What does it mean to give and |
| W1:106.10 | is one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It | will begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the |
| W1:106.10 | by you. It will begin the ministry for which you came and which | will free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the |
| W1:106.11 | in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they | will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will |
| W1:106.11 | will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you | will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that truth be |
| W1:107.3 | not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind | will rest in when the truth has come. |
| W1:107.5 | the doubts that the appearances the world presents engender. They | will merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your mind. |
| W1:107.8 | Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it | will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your |
| W1:107.11 | Truth | will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be |
| W1:107.12 | Truth | will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my |
| W1:107.12 | Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I | will rest in Him Who is my Self. |
| W1:107.13 | Then let Him lead you gently to the truth which | will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you |
| W1:107.13 | will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you | will return to the familiar world reluctantly. |

| W1:107.14 | And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you | will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that |
| W1:107.14 | you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you | will carry to the world. They will increase with every gift you give |
| W1:107.14 | which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world. They | will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the |
| W1:107.14 | give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the world | will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind. |
| W1:107.15 | for today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth | will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the world and |
| W1:108.1 | thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one | will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to |
| W1:108.1 | true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it | will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace |
| W1:108.5 | One Thought, completely unified, | will serve to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one |
| W1:108.5 | to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one correction | will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother wholly |
| W1:108.6 | to other areas of doubt and double vision. And from there it | will extend and finally arrive at the one thought Which underlies |
| W1:108.7 | Today we practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We | will use this simple lesson in the obvious because it has results we |
| W1:108.7 | it has results we cannot miss. To give is to receive. Today we | will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly peace |
| W1:108.9 | To give and to receive are one in truth. I | will receive what I am giving now. |
| W1:108.12 | then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it | will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find |
| W1:108.12 | and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You | will find you have exact return, for this is what you asked. It might |
| W1:108.13 | Our very simple lesson for today | will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood |
| W1:108.13 | very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause | will be far better understood from this time on, and we will make |
| W1:108.13 | and cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we | will make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for today |
| W1:109.1 | 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, and the |
| W1:109.2 | of suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet | will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son |
| W1:109.3 | “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought | will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past |
| W1:109.3 | There is 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 | intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they | will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear |
| W1:109.4 | and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They | will not hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to |
| W1:109.6 | be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams | will come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from |
| W1:109.8 | you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest | will be the only thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired |
| W1:109.8 | worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their way alone. And they | will hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow |
| W1:109.9 | from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you. You | will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing |
| W1:110.1 | We | will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one thought |
| W1:110.2 | complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision which | will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or |
| W1:110.10 | Seek Him today, and find Him. He | will be your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find |
| W1:110.10 | your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find Him you | will understand how worthless are your idols and how false the images |
| W1:110.11 | We | will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving |
| W1:110.11 | who meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we | will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the |
| W1:R3.1 | Our third review begins today. We | will review two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed |
| W1:R3.1 | of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We | will observe a special format for these practice periods, which you |
| W1:R3.2 | Learning | will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is |
| W1:R3.3 | But learning | will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are |
| W1:R3.6 | your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it | will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who |
| W1:R3.6 | mind? Have faith in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses | will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance. |
| W1:R3.6 | means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind | will come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then |
| W1:R3.7 | them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It | will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your |
| W1:R3.13 | Each day's review assignment | will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour and |
| W1:R3.13 | well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas | will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with |
| W1:112.3 | [94] I am as God created me. I | will remain forever as I was, Created by the Changeless like Himself. |
| W1:114.3 | [98] I | will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my function |
| W1:114.3 | but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and | will forever be? |
| W1:114.7 | I | will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. |
| W1:116.2 | [101] God's | Will for me is perfect happiness. God's Will is perfect happiness for |
| W1:116.2 | [101] God's Will for me is perfect happiness. God's | Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the |
| W1:116.2 | for me. And I can suffer but from the belief there is another | will apart from His. |
| W1:116.3 | [102] I share God's | Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His Son. |
| W1:116.3 | [102] I share God's Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's | Will for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has |
| W1:116.5 | God's | Will for me is perfect happiness. |
| W1:116.7 | I share God's | Will for happiness for me. |
| 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 |
| W1:119.2 | [107] Truth | will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think I can |
| 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 |
| W1:119.5 | Truth | will correct all errors in my mind. |
| W1:121.7 | that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you | will learn. |
| W1:121.8 | Yet all your teaching and your learning | will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the |
| W1:121.8 | today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We | will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night another ten to |
| W1:121.9 | mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we | will try to learn today that they are one through practicing |
| W1:121.9 | consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we | will extend the lesson to yourself and see that their escape included |
| W1:121.10 | the form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He | will do. |
| W1:121.14 | Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I | will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible, and full of |
| W1:122.4 | brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that | will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to |
| W1:122.5 | Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You | will not find another one instead. God's plan for your salvation |
| W1:122.6 | waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you | will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son |
| W1:122.8 | truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you | will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness |
| W1:122.9 | we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this | will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we |
| W1:122.9 | today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation | will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware |
| W1:122.9 | this will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly | will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, |
| W1:122.11 | answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings. Today it | will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the joy |
| W1:122.12 | Before the light you | will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you |
| W1:122.12 | Before the light you will receive today the world | will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise |
| W1:122.12 | will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you | will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we |
| W1:123.2 | A day devoted now to gratitude | will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the |
| W1:123.3 | Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His Love forever | will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as |
| W1:123.5 | In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message | will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, |
| W1:123.6 | back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He | will bless your gifts by sharing them with you, and so they grow in |
| W1:123.7 | thanks and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you | will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are |
| W1:123.7 | He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him | will be returned to you in terms of years for every second, power to |
| W1:123.8 | Receive His thanks, and you | will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and |
| W1:124.1 | Today we | will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe, |
| W1:124.2 | as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us | will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet |
| W1:124.3 | created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we | will not doubt His Love for us nor question His protection and His |
| W1:124.8 | we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We | will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will |
| W1:124.8 | 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 will do the rest. |
| W1:124.8 | certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He | will do the rest. |
| W1:124.9 | Your benefit | will not be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be |
| W1:124.9 | not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it | will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns |
| W1:124.9 | the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor | will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your |
| W1:124.9 | it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half an hour | will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around |
| W1:124.9 | every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise | will offer you. And you will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection |
| W1:124.9 | set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you | will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own. |
| W1:124.10 | Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you | will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour |
| W1:124.10 | see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour | will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you |
| W1:124.10 | will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you | will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will |
| W1:124.10 | you will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You | will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour, |
| W1:124.11 | Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you | will look into this glass and understand the sinless light you see |
| W1:124.11 | this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return | will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you |
| W1:124.11 | yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you | will understand and comprehend and see. |
| W1:125.2 | This world | will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan |
| W1:125.2 | and at his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own | will, forever free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love. |
| W1:125.3 | In stillness we | will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, |
| W1:125.3 | our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We | will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We |
| W1:125.3 | 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 Word of God. |
| W1:125.4 | mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and | will never leave. |
| W1:125.5 | of Him regardless of his dreams, regardless of his madness that his | will is not his own. |
| W1:125.8 | Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of | will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind |
| W1:125.9 | Only be quiet. You | will need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you |
| W1:125.9 | free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You | will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His |
| W1:125.9 | eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the | Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with |
| W1:125.9 | hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's | Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the wholly |
| W1:126.1 | of the world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course | will bring about. If you believed this statement, there would be no |
| W1:126.8 | to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You | will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the |
| W1:126.9 | takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the thought that | will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means and |
| W1:126.10 | Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you | will understand the words He speaks and recognize He speaks your |
| W1:126.12 | The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I | will trust in Him. |
| W1:126.13 | mind to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you | will believe, for what He gives will be received by you. |
| W1:126.13 | Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives | will be received by you. |
| W1:127.8 | Call to your Father, certain that His Voice | will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place |
| W1:127.8 | His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself | will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a |
| W1:127.8 | belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He | will shine through your idle thoughts today and help you understand |
| W1:127.8 | and help you understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness, He | will abide with you as you allow His Voice to teach love's meaning to |
| W1:127.8 | Voice to teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He | will bless the lesson with His Love. |
| W1:127.10 | The world in infancy is newly born. And we | will watch it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon |
| W1:127.11 | We | will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part |
| W1:128.2 | you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it | will serve no other end but this. For everything must serve the |
| W1:128.6 | chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. It | will be grateful to be free a while. It knows where it belongs. But |
| W1:128.6 | free a while. It knows where it belongs. But free its wings, and it | will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest |
| W1:128.7 | three times today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you | will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it |
| W1:128.7 | as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world | will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape its |
| W1:128.9 | This | will not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has nothing that I |
| W1:129.1 | for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you | will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the world |
| W1:129.2 | time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you | will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value |
| W1:129.3 | all things you really want and know they have no ending, and they | will remain exactly as you want them throughout time? |
| W1:129.4 | Yet even they | will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go |
| W1:129.5 | sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they | will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you. |
| W1:129.5 | Value them not, and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they | will seem real to you. |
| W1:130.5 | Today we | will not seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot |
| W1:130.6 | Today we | will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see |
| W1:130.7 | ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as one. We | will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to |
| W1:130.10 | God | will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who |
| W1:130.10 | be 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 |
| W1:130.10 | Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor | will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and |
| W1:130.10 | to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You | will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception, |
| W1:130.10 | in tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you | will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of |
| W1:130.10 | kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you | will know God's strength upheld as you made this choice. |
| W1:130.12 | and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight, and what you | will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains |
| W1:131.4 | Yet searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you | will surely do the thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate |
| W1:131.6 | Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You | will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet |
| W1:131.6 | unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this | will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It will |
| W1:131.6 | this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It | will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you |
| W1:131.6 | has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You | will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you |
| W1:131.7 | cannot be, if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the | Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, |
| W1:131.9 | Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal | Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to |
| W1:131.9 | him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien | will upon God's single purpose. He is here because He wills to be, |
| W1:131.10 | Today we | will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God |
| W1:131.10 | place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the | Will of God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has no |
| W1:131.11 | 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 we will |
| W1:131.11 | 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 the foolish |
| W1:131.16 | understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, | will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you |
| W1:131.17 | of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you | will find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of |
| W1:132.2 | changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet | will think. |
| W1:132.7 | 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 while and |
| W1:132.8 | there is no world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness | will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand |
| W1:132.8 | be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some | will find it in this course and in the exercises that we do today. |
| W1:132.14 | a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you | will look upon a world released. |
| W1:132.19 | near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you | will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as |
| W1:133.1 | already learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we | will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas |
| W1:133.1 | to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We | will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell instead |
| W1:133.6 | the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you | will make the better choice. |
| W1:133.7 | First, if you choose a thing that | will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value |
| W1:133.8 | Next, if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you | will have nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to |
| W1:133.8 | his right to everything, you have denied your own. You therefore | will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are |
| W1:133.10 | for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived | will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will believe |
| W1:133.10 | is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He | will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he |
| W1:133.14 | come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We | will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid |
| W1:133.15 | Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes | will begin with this: |
| W1:133.16 | I | will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, |
| W1:133.18 | I | will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me. |
| W1:134.10 | Thus | will you see alternatives for choice in terms which render choosing |
| W1:134.14 | the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who | will follow us to the reality we share with them. |
| W1:134.17 | Then choose one brother as He | will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one they cross your |
| W1:134.18 | If you have been practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you | will begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your |
| W1:134.19 | Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there | will be so many times when you forget its meaning and attack |
| W1:134.20 | forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I | will not lay this chain upon myself. |
| W1:135.8 | is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It | will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning |
| W1:135.10 | and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You | will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you |
| W1:135.10 | will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you | will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception |
| W1:135.11 | These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body | will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced |
| W1:135.14 | capacity is health assured. For everything the mind employs for this | will function flawlessly and with the strength that has been given it |
| W1:135.16 | setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it | will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes |
| W1:135.17 | for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what | will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it |
| W1:135.21 | a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it | will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to |
| W1:135.21 | to the ancient plan begun when time was born. Your followers | will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the |
| W1:135.21 | was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it | will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly |
| W1:135.21 | will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly | will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed |
| W1:135.22 | We | will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is |
| W1:135.22 | present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We | will be sure that everything we need is given us for our |
| W1:135.22 | us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it | will be done but realize that our defenselessness is all that is |
| W1:135.23 | thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we | will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. |
| W1:135.24 | If I defend myself, I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I | will be strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide. |
| W1:135.24 | I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be strong, and I | will learn what my defenses hide. |
| W1:135.25 | Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you | will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were |
| W1:135.26 | All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you | will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you |
| W1:135.26 | will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you | will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from |
| W1:135.27 | He has remembered you. Today we | will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you |
| W1:135.28 | comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the world | will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you. |
| W1:135.29 | This is my Eastertime. And I would keep it holy. I | will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense |
| W1:136.10 | for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His | Will. His Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and chaos sits in |
| W1:136.12 | God knows not of your plans to change His | Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you thought |
| W1:136.15 | cease to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you | will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim |
| W1:136.15 | 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 to come to us |
| W1:136.16 | And truth | will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for |
| 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 |
| W1:136.18 | Healing | will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the |
| W1:136.18 | and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There | will be no dark corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from |
| W1:136.18 | can conceal and keep defended from the light of truth. There | will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their obscure and |
| W1:136.18 | with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your mind. It | will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize |
| W1:136.19 | because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. And you | will recognize you practiced well by this—the body should not feel |
| W1:136.19 | the body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there | will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. |
| W1:136.20 | you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the body has | will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The body's |
| W1:136.21 | you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which | will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy |
| W1:137.4 | is merely to accept what always was the simple truth and always | will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to |
| W1:137.5 | but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world | will arise to take the place of what has never been at all, healing |
| W1:137.7 | Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world | will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace the |
| W1:137.8 | Healing is freedom. For it demonstrates that dreams | will not prevail against the truth. Healing is shared. And by this |
| W1:137.10 | seem to have no contact with you healed along with you. Perhaps you | will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to |
| W1:137.10 | to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions | will receive the gift which you receive when you are healed. |
| W1:137.12 | Would you not offer shelter to God's | Will? You but invite your Self to be at home, and can this invitation |
| W1:137.12 | can this invitation be refused? Ask the inevitable to occur, and you | will never fail. The other choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, |
| W1:137.12 | be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth | will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go |
| W1:137.12 | ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing | will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be |
| W1:137.12 | from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that they | will both occur as one. |
| W1:137.13 | We | will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds |
| W1:137.14 | Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we | will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts |
| W1:137.14 | day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we | will conclude today at night as well: |
| W1:137.16 | all that was sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor | will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips |
| W1:138.4 | would induce. You make but one. And when that one is made, you | will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and nothing |
| W1:138.8 | and grip the mind with terror and anxiety so strong that it | will not relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be |
| W1:138.13 | Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and | will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. |
| W1:139.7 | And they | will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn |
| W1:139.9 | God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we | will do today. |
| W1:139.10 | Five minutes in the morning and at night we | will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for today. We |
| W1:139.11 | I | will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me. |
| W1:139.14 | I | will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me. |
| W1:140.1 | as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what | will make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees |
| W1:140.8 | we 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 |
| W1:140.9 | We | will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond |
| W1:140.9 | and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt. We | will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never |
| W1:140.10 | our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We | will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all |
| W1:140.10 | took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which | will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. No |
| W1:140.14 | And we | will feel salvation cover us with soft protection and with peace so |
| W1:140.14 | can disturb 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 |
| W1:140.14 | 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 minute as the hour |
| W1:R4.1 | the second part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we | will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. |
| W1:R4.1 | be applied. Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what | will follow next. Such is our aim for this review and for the lessons |
| W1:R4.1 | the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a way as | will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve. |
| W1:R4.7 | devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea you | will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your |
| W1:R4.9 | Five minutes with this thought | will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed and |
| W1:R4.9 | appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you | will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they |
| W1:R4.9 | Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They | will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. |
| W1:R4.9 | will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they | will all be shared with Him. And so each one will bring the message |
| W1:R4.9 | you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. And so each one | will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of |
| W1:R4.9 | message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So | will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has |
| W1:R4.9 | has willed it be. And as His own completion joins with Him, so | will He join with you who are complete as you unite with Him and He |
| W1:R4.10 | you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we | will use no format for our practicing but this: |
| W1:147.1 | [133] I | will not value what is valueless. |
| W1:150.1 | [139] I | will accept Atonement for myself. |
| W1:151.6 | is to doubt yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence | will clear the way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for God |
| W1:151.7 | He | will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your |
| W1:151.10 | of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons | will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He |
| W1:151.10 | enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He | will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster, |
| W1:151.10 | and can behold the gentle face of Christ in all of them. You | will no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved |
| W1:151.10 | doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of God, for He | will judge all happenings and teach the single lesson which they all |
| W1:151.11 | He | will select the elements in them that represent the truth and |
| W1:151.11 | and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And He | will reinterpret all you see and all occurrences, each circumstance, |
| W1:151.11 | from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you | will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure |
| W1:151.12 | of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So | will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and hear in |
| W1:151.13 | and give them back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the | Will of God. |
| W1:151.14 | Give Him your thoughts, and He | will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness |
| W1:151.15 | you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone | will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your |
| W1:151.17 | And we | will hourly remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give |
| W1:152.7 | To think that God made chaos, contradicts His | Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over |
| W1:152.8 | place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made | will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there |
| W1:152.8 | all you think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then | will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will |
| W1:152.8 | then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it | will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to |
| W1:152.13 | The power of decision is my own. This day I | will accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be. |
| W1:152.13 | is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's | Will created me to be. |
| W1:152.14 | Then | will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly |
| W1:152.14 | ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left | will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God |
| W1:152.15 | concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice | will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will |
| W1:152.15 | Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He | will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the |
| W1:153.6 | It testifies to recognition of the Christ in you. Perhaps you | will recall the course maintains that choice is always made between |
| W1:153.8 | We | will not play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to |
| W1:153.9 | serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we | will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy |
| W1:153.11 | have done. God has elected all, but few have come to realize His | Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have |
| W1:153.11 | waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor | will you learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been |
| W1:153.11 | has come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you | will not see the light until you offer it to all your brothers. As |
| W1:153.11 | offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so | will you recognize it as your own. |
| W1:153.15 | Today we practice in a form we | will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by giving our |
| W1:153.15 | Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We | will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as |
| W1:153.15 | And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we | will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. |
| W1:153.15 | find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor | will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and joy. |
| W1:153.16 | adds to our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the | will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will |
| W1:153.16 | the will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, | will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we |
| W1:153.16 | will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we | will forget. At other times the business of the world will close on |
| W1:153.16 | Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the world | will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while |
| W1:153.16 | At other times the business of the world will close on us, and we | will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our thoughts to |
| W1:153.17 | Yet when we can, we | will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of |
| W1:153.17 | of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love. And we | will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and learn |
| W1:153.18 | In time, with practice, you | will never cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding |
| W1:153.18 | His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where you | will walk in true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes |
| W1:153.18 | into quiet ways where you will walk in true defenselessness, for you | will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind |
| W1:153.18 | your time is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He | will not make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan |
| W1:153.19 | weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us. We | will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and |
| W1:153.20 | the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We | will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will |
| W1:153.20 | We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing | will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your |
| W1:153.21 | Be not afraid nor timid. There can be no doubt that you | will reach your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail |
| W1:154.4 | union with itself. So is its Self the one reality in which its | will and that of God are joined. |
| W1:154.5 | the right of him who does nor ask why he has chosen those who | will receive the message that he brings. It is enough that he accept |
| 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 for us, for |
| W1:154.10 | and the giving of God's Word, the giving and receiving of His | Will. |
| W1:154.11 | those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our | will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers of the |
| W1:154.12 | Let us but learn this lesson for today: we | will not recognize what we receive until we give it. You have heard |
| W1:154.12 | is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is given it, you | will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but |
| W1:154.12 | receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but | will not know that God Himself has left no gift beyond what you |
| W1:154.15 | and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no | will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to |
| W1:154.15 | we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator | will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will |
| W1:154.15 | our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we | will understand what we received. |
| W1:155.1 | do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way | will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you |
| W1:155.3 | This is the simple choice we make today. The mad illusion | will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to |
| W1:155.7 | All roads | will lead to this one in the end. For sacrifice and deprivation are |
| W1:155.7 | are paths which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which | will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth comes forth in |
| W1:155.10 | Yet at the journey's ending there | will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all illusions |
| W1:155.10 | truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you traveled | will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth |
| W1:155.11 | things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God | will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather |
| W1:155.11 | are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys. There | will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step |
| W1:155.11 | way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who | will follow us. |
| W1:155.13 | His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You | will not fail your brothers nor your Self. |
| W1:155.15 | I | will step back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the |
| W1:157.3 | Today it | will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return |
| W1:157.3 | Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you | will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along |
| W1:157.3 | to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. This you | will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, |
| W1:157.4 | He | will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what |
| W1:157.4 | for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your | will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you. |
| W1:157.5 | you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today | will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the |
| W1:157.6 | Your body | will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the |
| W1:157.7 | all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you | will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more |
| W1:157.7 | ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light | will come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct. |
| W1:157.8 | The time | will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now |
| W1:157.8 | The time will come when you | will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you |
| W1:157.8 | will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you | will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it |
| W1:157.8 | for you will 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 |
| W1:157.8 | 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 Holy One, |
| W1:157.9 | Into Christ's Presence | will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining |
| W1:157.9 | except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His face | will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all |
| W1:157.9 | perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there | will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the |
| W1:157.9 | which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you | will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the |
| W1:157.9 | vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and | will surely know again. |
| W1:158.2 | that vision 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 |
| W1:158.4 | which does not change. The script is written. When experience | will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the |
| W1:158.5 | because He has a vision He can give to anyone who asks. The Father's | Will and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the |
| W1:159.7 | hearth of mercy where the suffering are healed and welcome. No one | will be turned away from this new home where his salvation waits. No |
| W1:160.1 | Fear is a stranger to the ways of love. Identify with fear, and you | will be a stranger to yourself. And thus you are unknown to you. What |
| W1:160.3 | yet how easy it would be to say, “This is my home. Here I belong and | will not leave because a madman says I must.” What reason is there |
| W1:160.6 | for he has made return impossible. His way is lost except a miracle | will search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The |
| W1:160.6 | search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle | will come. For in his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in |
| W1:160.6 | asked no stranger in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It | will call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own. |
| W1:160.10 | and perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you. But you | will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies |
| W1:161.8 | Who sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he | will attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to |
| W1:161.9 | that 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 |
| W1:161.10 | Attack on him is enemy to you, for you | will not perceive that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but |
| W1:161.10 | that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but for this, and he | will give it to you. Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you |
| W1:161.11 | we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you | will come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching |
| W1:161.11 | today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you | will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be |
| W1:161.11 | it, you will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you | will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call |
| W1:161.11 | to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you | will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You |
| W1:161.11 | accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you will see | will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You are not |
| W1:161.11 | forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you | will remember. You are not forgot in Heaven. Would you not remember |
| W1:161.15 | And He | will answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God |
| W1:161.15 | And He will answer Whom you called upon, for He | will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him |
| W1:161.16 | a brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you | will see him suddenly transformed from enemy to savior, from the |
| W1:162.1 | 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 will mean |
| W1:162.1 | to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It | will mean far more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for |
| W1:162.2 | is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these words | will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream |
| W1:162.2 | no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that | will not fade away before their might. They are the trumpet of |
| W1:162.2 | awake in answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound | will never look on death. |
| W1:162.3 | because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He | will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each |
| W1:163.2 | it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone | will surely come. |
| W1:163.3 | place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it | will come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its |
| W1:163.3 | with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival. It | will never fail to take all life as hostage to itself. |
| W1:163.4 | of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's | Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect, |
| W1:163.4 | of love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the | Will of Father and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath |
| W1:163.7 | apparently, by those who did not want him to survive. Their stronger | will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to death. |
| W1:163.8 | this which they believed, they would be instantly released. And you | will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now |
| W1:163.9 | from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your | Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the Life we share |
| W1:163.9 | and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our | will is one with Yours eternally. Amen. |
| W1:164.2 | distinct—an ancient call to which He gives an ancient answer. You | will recognize them both. For they are but your answer to your |
| W1:164.3 | sounds which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who | will today accept the gifts He gives. |
| W1:164.4 | in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today you | will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring rewards so |
| W1:164.4 | All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today | will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all |
| W1:164.4 | so completely different from all things you sought before that you | will know that here your treasure is and here your rest. |
| W1:164.5 | scales of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment | will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will |
| W1:164.5 | will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now | will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation |
| W1:164.7 | We | will not judge today. We will receive but what is given us from |
| W1:164.7 | We will not judge today. We | will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the |
| W1:164.7 | for our release from blindness and from misery. All that we see | will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects our own. We |
| W1:165.4 | Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind | will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. |
| W1:165.5 | you request the only thing you want. But when you have received, you | will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would |
| W1:165.7 | of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His | Will. |
| W1:166.1 | back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless your | will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would make |
| W1:166.1 | are not received. But what would make you think there is another | will than His? |
| W1:166.2 | that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the | Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must |
| W1:166.2 | Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another | will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills. |
| W1:166.5 | gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he | will not look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the |
| W1:166.10 | God's | Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned |
| W1:166.10 | to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His | Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an |
| W1:166.12 | gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your | will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are your own. |
| W1:166.14 | Your sighs | will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release. |
| W1:167.5 | cannot give birth to what was never given them. As they are made, so | will their making be. As they were born, so will they then give |
| W1:167.5 | As they are made, so will their making be. As they were born, so | will they then give birth. And where they come from, there will they |
| W1:167.5 | born, so will they then give birth. And where they come from, there | will they return. |
| W1:167.10 | because he sleeps and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We | will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined |
| W1:167.10 | 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 instant where |
| W1:167.12 | holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and | will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it sees its own |
| W1:168.1 | loves His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He | will love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him |
| W1:168.2 | of His Love. Would He not gladly give the means by which His | Will is recognized? His grace is yours by your acknowledgment. And |
| W1:168.4 | loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world | will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an |
| W1:168.4 | give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first | will come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a |
| W1:168.6 | for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive. Such is His | Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but |
| W1:168.7 | grace is given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You | will come to me who asks. I am the Son You love. |
| W1:169.4 | 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 witness to |
| W1:169.6 | this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition that its | will is God's has been completely given and received completely. It |
| W1:169.7 | all but this is now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you | will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means. |
| W1:169.9 | the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it | will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those |
| W1:169.11 | the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides | will end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace |
| W1:169.15 | By grace I live. By grace I am released. By grace I give. By grace I | will release. |
| W1:170.5 | by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you | will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is |
| W1:170.9 | a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. | Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and |
| W1:170.9 | to wrest from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or | will you make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty |
| W1:R5.3 | So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You | will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure |
| W1:R5.3 | the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You | will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we |
| W1:R5.7 | ending. Every step we take brings us a little nearer. This review | will shorten time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains |
| W1:R5.8 | but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out and now | will lead you out with him. God's Son is crucified until you walk |
| W1:R5.10 | Together we devote our time and effort to them. And together we | will teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven |
| W1:R5.10 | time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it | will be at last, when time is done. |
| W1:R5.11 | review be then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you | will hear the words I speak and give them to the world. You are my |
| W1:R5.14 | throughout the day. And thus when we have finished this review, we | will have recognized the words we speak are true. |
| W1:173.2 | [155] I | will step back and let Him lead the way. God is but Love, and |
| W1:I2.1 | now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment | will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this which |
| W1:I2.1 | intermittently. It is experiencing this which makes it sure that you | will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets |
| W1:I2.2 | tight control of what you see speaks for itself. Your motivation | will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You |
| W1:I2.2 | will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You | will be sure of what you want and what is valueless. |
| W1:I2.3 | No more than this is asked because no more than this is needed. It | will be enough to guarantee the rest will come. |
| W1:I2.3 | no more than this is needed. It will be enough to guarantee the rest | will come. |
| W1:181.2 | to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold | will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift to give support |
| W1:181.2 | focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now | will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the one |
| W1:181.2 | their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you | will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies |
| W1:181.4 | and restricting thought that, even if you should succeed, you | will inevitably lose your way again. How could this matter? For the |
| W1:181.5 | by a little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we | will believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of |
| W1:181.5 | while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe | will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with |
| W1:181.5 | in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus | will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, |
| W1:181.5 | restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we | will magnify and call our “sins.” |
| W1:181.6 | without regard to past or future, should such blocks arise, we | will transcend them with instructions to our minds to change their |
| W1:181.8 | And we | will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We |
| W1:181.8 | seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin | will bring and, uncorrected, will remain. |
| W1:181.8 | from the misery the focus upon sin will bring and, uncorrected, | will remain. |
| W1:181.9 | look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we | will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want |
| W1:181.9 | ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This | will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in |
| W1:181.10 | trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the | Will of God. This instant is our willing one with His. |
| W1:182.2 | play to occupy their time and keep their sadness from them. Others | will deny that they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. |
| W1:182.2 | they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. Still others | will maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be considered |
| W1:182.4 | He is alien here. This Childhood is eternal, with an innocence that | will endure forever. Where this Child shall go is holy ground. It is |
| W1:182.5 | holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as well. He | will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself within the |
| W1:182.6 | Yet does He know that in you still abides His sure protection. You | will fail Him not. He will go home, and you along with Him. |
| W1:182.6 | in you still abides His sure protection. You will fail Him not. He | will go home, and you along with Him. |
| W1:182.7 | outcast in a world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He | will wait until you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to |
| W1:182.8 | when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then | will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will |
| W1:182.8 | then will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you | will not resist Him longer. In that instant, He will take you to His |
| 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 |
| W1:182.8 | Him longer. In that instant, He will take you to His home, and you | will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond |
| W1:182.9 | them. He asks but they protect Him, for His home is far away, and He | will not return to it alone. |
| W1:183.4 | thing before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you | will forget the names of all the gods you value. They have lost the |
| W1:183.8 | Thus do we give an invitation which can never be refused. And God | will come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little |
| W1:183.9 | realizing that there is One Name for all there is and all that there | will be. |
| W1:183.10 | Today you can achieve a state in which you | will experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the |
| W1:183.11 | own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and | will forever give. He calls on Him to let all things he thought he |
| W1:184.2 | you are established as a unity which functions with an independent | will. |
| W1:184.3 | was given them as well. For what is named is given meaning and | will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects with |
| W1:184.9 | for anything at all, and in your practicing, it is this thought that | will release you from them. They become but means by which you can |
| W1:185.2 | and it is given him. For that is all he wants, and that is all he | will receive. Many have said these words. But few indeed have meant |
| W1:185.3 | Two minds with one intent become so strong that what they | will becomes the Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In |
| W1:185.3 | with one intent become so strong that what they will becomes the | Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In dreams no two can |
| W1:185.5 | And he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one | will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest. |
| W1:185.6 | if he asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the lesson | will meet with acceptance and be truly learned. |
| W1:185.8 | words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe | will comfort you and bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by |
| W1:185.9 | You choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams | will come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace come just as |
| W1:185.9 | asked for dreams. And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet | will God's peace come just as certainly and to remain with you |
| W1:185.9 | peace come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It | will not be gone with every twist and turning of the road to reappear |
| W1:185.11 | he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is God's | Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for what he has already? |
| W1:185.13 | And when it is as meaningless to you, you can be sure you share one | will with Him, and He with you. And you will also know you share one |
| W1:185.13 | can be sure you share one will with Him, and He with you. And you | will also know you share one will with all your brothers, whose |
| W1:185.13 | will with Him, and He with you. And you will also know you share one | will with all your brothers, whose intent is yours. |
| W1:186.1 | Here is the statement that | will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the |
| W1:186.1 | role. It does not judge your proper role. It but acknowledges the | Will of God is done on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all wills |
| W1:186.2 | establish it. It is not our idea. The means are given us by which it | will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to |
| W1:186.3 | request but this? And what could arrogance deny but this? Today we | will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds that |
| W1:186.4 | would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He | will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, |
| W1:186.4 | We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We | will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and our |
| W1:186.8 | And so we find our peace. We | will accept the function God has given us, for all illusions rest |
| W1:186.10 | These unsubstantial images | will go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the |
| W1:186.11 | Who knows no error. And His Voice is certain of its messages. They | will not change nor be in conflict. All of them point to one goal, |
| W1:186.14 | form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what love | will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is |
| W1:187.1 | you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving | will increase what you possess. |
| W1:187.2 | it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes | will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but |
| W1:187.3 | to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you | will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it |
| W1:187.4 | you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you | will never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby |
| W1:187.4 | not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its form. For this | will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to |
| W1:187.5 | world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who | will give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will |
| W1:187.5 | who will give 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 |
| W1:187.5 | most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always something he | will value less than what will surely be returned to him. |
| W1:187.5 | he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what | will surely be returned to him. |
| W1:187.8 | that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing | will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. |
| W1:187.9 | the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you | will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will |
| W1:187.9 | you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you | will behold will take away all thought of form and leave instead the |
| W1:187.9 | look 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 |
| W1:187.11 | is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it | will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, |
| W1:188.8 | where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. We | will not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct |
| W1:188.9 | in us and from us to all living things that share our life. We | will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we thought it |
| W1:189.1 | is a light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you | will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you |
| W1:189.5 | But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you | will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place |
| W1:189.5 | you feel within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you | will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, |
| W1:189.8 | the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God | will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive. |
| W1:189.9 | this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love | will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is surely |
| W1:189.10 | the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We | will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they belong |
| W1:189.10 | is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your | Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that |
| W1:190.1 | It is not a fact at all. There is no form it takes which | will not disappear if seen aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How |
| W1:190.5 | what you are. As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they | will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful |
| W1:190.5 | As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy | will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now becomes a source of |
| W1:190.6 | It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts. And it | will change entirely as you elect to change your mind and choose the |
| W1:190.7 | As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you | will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires |
| W1:190.9 | withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness. Here | will you understand there is no pain. Here does the joy of God belong |
| W1:191.2 | that does not seem to bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but | will dissolve in tears. |
| W1:191.3 | Deny your own Identity, and you | will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and |
| W1:191.5 | that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape, you | will return and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity |
| W1:191.6 | this savage need in it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You | will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in |
| W1:191.11 | in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy | will its mercy shine on you. |
| W1:191.12 | return again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it | will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we will sleep no more |
| W1:191.12 | it began. But it will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we | will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your |
| W1:192.1 | It is your Father's holy | will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred |
| W1:192.5 | mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it | will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger becomes |
| W1:192.6 | the Son to look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you | will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight |
| W1:192.9 | a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it | will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus |
| W1:192.10 | him. And you are what he is. Forgive him now his sins, and you | will see that you are one with him. |
| W1:193.1 | God does not know of learning. Yet His | Will extends to what He does not understand in that He wills the |
| W1:193.1 | and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His | Will. And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is |
| W1:193.1 | open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His | Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done. |
| W1:193.2 | for One Who can correct his erring sight and give him vision that | will lead him back to where perception ceases. God does not perceive |
| W1:193.5 | These are the lessons God would have you learn. His | Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the |
| W1:193.6 | Forgive and you | will see this differently. |
| W1:193.8 | Forgive and you | will see this differently. |
| W1:193.14 | We | will attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace |
| W1:193.15 | them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they | will disappear. Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are |
| W1:193.17 | one goes, let everything that happens in its course go with it. Thus | will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This |
| W1:193.19 | I | will forgive and this will disappear. |
| W1:193.19 | I will forgive and this | will disappear. |
| W1:193.20 | God 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 |
| W1:194.4 | but asked to let the future go and place it in God's hands. And you | will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present |
| W1:194.4 | have laid the past and present in His hands as well because the past | will punish you no more and future dread will now be meaningless. |
| W1:194.4 | as well because the past will punish you no more and future dread | will now be meaningless. |
| W1:194.6 | can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you | will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can to |
| W1:194.6 | to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so | will the world perceive that it is saved. |
| W1:194.7 | can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty but | will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has |
| W1:194.9 | untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. If we forget, we | will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it |
| W1:194.9 | we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it | will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to |
| W1:194.9 | replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to attack, we | will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for us that |
| W1:195.4 | 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 while |
| W1:195.4 | to God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It | will never be that some are loosed while others still are bound, for |
| W1:195.5 | but in sincerity. And let your gratitude make room for all who | will escape with you—the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and |
| W1:195.8 | still locked away as sins. When your forgiveness is complete, you | will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has |
| W1:195.8 | your forgiveness is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you | will see that everything has earned the right to love by being |
| W1:195.10 | Our gratitude | will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than |
| W1:196.1 | When this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you | will not attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to |
| W1:196.1 | attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You | will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another |
| W1:196.1 | your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you | will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You |
| W1:196.1 | will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You | will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves |
| W1:196.1 | the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you | will understand his safety is your own, and in his healing you are |
| W1:196.2 | Perhaps at first you | will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in |
| W1:196.3 | 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 body to |
| W1:196.3 | the ego would distort the truth will not deceive you longer. You | will not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see |
| W1:196.3 | longer. You will not believe you are a body to be crucified. And you | will see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past |
| W1:196.6 | of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he | will not perceive its foolishness nor even see that it is there so |
| W1:196.7 | it at all, its form must first be changed at least as much as | will permit fear of retaliation to abate and the responsibility |
| W1:196.8 | Our next steps | will be easy if you take this one today. From there we go ahead quite |
| W1:196.12 | but you your mind can try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, | will come from you. |
| W1:197.1 | which would cheat you of defenses to ensure that when He strikes He | will not fail to kill. |
| W1:197.2 | to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home. Nor | will you leave the prison house or claim your strength until guilt |
| W1:197.5 | only to yourself, and what belongs to God must be His own. Yet you | will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, |

| W1:197.6 | little while before He snatches them away again in death. For death | will have no meaning for you then. |
| W1:197.7 | God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives | will Christ yet come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His |
| W1:197.7 | and breathe in Him. His Being in His Father is secure because Their | will is one. Their gratitude to all They have created has no end, for |
| W1:198.1 | Then does illusion cease to have effects, and all it seemed to have | will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you |
| W1:198.6 | His words | will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all |
| W1:198.6 | His words will work. His words | will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that |
| W1:198.6 | have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words in which all | will merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word |
| W1:198.6 | the words in which all will merge as one at last. And as this one | will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it |
| W1:198.6 | as one at 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. |
| W1:198.6 | will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it | will be remembered then and loved. |
| W1:198.7 | Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you | will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will |
| W1:198.7 | you will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you | will perceive a miracle instead. |
| W1:198.15 | that we have come this far and recognize that He Who brought us here | will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God |
| W1:199.4 | need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body | will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus becomes |
| W1:199.5 | a part of every practice period you take. There is no thought that | will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which will |
| W1:199.5 | will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which | will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of |
| W1:199.8 | with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's Son | will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy |
| W1:200.1 | Seek you no further. You | will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and |
| W1:200.5 | mind about the purpose of the world if you would find escape. You | will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed and |
| W1:200.7 | He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's | Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to |
| W1:200.8 | Peace is the bridge that everyone | will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the |
| W1:200.9 | and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He | will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in need, nor let |
| W1:200.9 | byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He | will not desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his |
| W1:200.9 | nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son | will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world |
| W1:200.11 | cannot be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this | will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a |
| W1:R6.6 | We | will attempt to get beyond all words and special forms of practicing |
| W1:R6.10 | you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we | will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to aid your |
| W1:R6.11 | 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 time you call to Him to |
| W1:202.1 | [182] I | will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an |
| W1:208.1 | [188] The peace of God is shining in me now. I | will be still and let the earth be still along with me. And in that |
| W1:208.1 | and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness, we | will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to |
| W1:210.1 | not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His | Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I |
| W1:210.1 | of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will. His | Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose |
| W1:212.1 | God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this | will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as |
| W1:216.1 | I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation | will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God |
| W2:I.1 | Words | will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not |
| W2:I.2 | wait 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 |
| W2:I.2 | kept. We have come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We | will continue spending time with Him each morning and at night, as |
| W2:I.2 | with Him each morning 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 |
| W2:I.2 | not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we | will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget our |
| W2:I.2 | We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor | will we forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when |
| W2:I.3 | We | will continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we |
| W2:I.3 | continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we | will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and calm our |
| W2:I.3 | to introduce our times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we | will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining |
| W2:I.3 | promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His Son | will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name. |
| W2:I.4 | earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We | will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will |
| W2:I.4 | invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We will offer it, and it | will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We say the |
| W2:I.4 | 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 His Voice |
| W2:I.5 | He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your | will He do so. And you could have never come this far unless you saw, |
| W2:I.5 | never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your | will. |
| W2:I.7 | not know the way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You | will not forget us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept |
| W2:I.7 | us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your | will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The Father and the |
| W2:I.7 | that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your will to keep. We | will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy will |
| W2:I.7 | We will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy | will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we |
| W2:I.7 | last few steps to You and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which | will not fail the Son who calls to You. |
| W2:I.9 | across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it | will rise again. A moment more, and we who are God's Sons are safely |
| W2:I.10 | is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section we | will come to understand that we need only call to God and all |
| W2:I.10 | 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 received the way it |
| W2:I.10 | and let all things be healed. We will accept the way God's plan | will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is complete. This |
| W2:I.11 | From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance | will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep |
| W2:WF.1 | therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the | Will of God. |
| W2:WF.2 | An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it | will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed |
| W2:WF.2 | not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed and | will not be released. The thought protects projection, tightening its |
| W2:221.1 | to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You | will hear my call and answer me. |
| W2:221.2 | in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am sure that He | will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is |
| W2:221.2 | we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you | will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are |
| W2:225.2 | follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I | will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we |
| W2:226.1 | of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so | will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I |
| W2:226.1 | it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it | will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace |
| W2:227.1 | Father, it is today that I am free because my | will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet nothing that I |
| W2:227.1 | that I am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another | will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free |
| W2:227.1 | from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my | will is one with Yours. |
| W2:229.1 | Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming home that I | will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I |
| W2:230.2 | me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is Your | will that gave it to Your Son. |
| W2:WS.1 | 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 time |
| W2:WS.1 | 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 that it |
| W2:WS.1 | is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts and | will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought of peace. |
| W2:231.2 | This is your | will, my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One |
| W2:231.2 | This is your will, my brother. And you share this | will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember |
| W2:231.2 | To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it | will be given us to find. |
| W2:232.1 | my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me and always | will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, |
| W2:233.1 | give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your | will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained and wasting |
| W2:233.1 | obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I | will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the |
| 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 is His day. |
| W2:234.1 | Today we | will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we |
| W2:235.1 | and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's | Will for me is only happiness to find that only happiness has come to |
| W2:236.1 | my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the | Will of God. |
| W2:237.1 | Today I | will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow |
| W2:237.1 | Today I will accept the truth about myself. I | will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the world |
| W2:WIW.1 | perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It | will remain no longer than the thought which gave it birth is |
| W2:WIW.1 | thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness | will the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to |
| W2:241.1 | set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They | will be united now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by |
| W2:241.1 | millions. They will 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 |
| W2:242.2 | have received by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You | will give us everything we want and that will help us find the way to |
| W2:242.2 | and our needs. And You will give us everything we want and that | will help us find the way to You. |
| W2:243.1 | I | will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already |
| W2:243.1 | I will be honest with myself today. I | will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present |
| W2:243.1 | that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I | will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, |
| W2:244.1 | for You are there with him. He need but call upon Your Name, and he | will recollect his safety and Your Love, for they are one. How can he |
| W2:244.2 | For what can come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what | will forever be a part of Him? |
| W2:245.1 | me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your | Will, that I may come to recognize my Self. |
| W2:246.2 | I | will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For |
| W2:246.2 | the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that | will I succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that |
| W2:246.2 | to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your | Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well |
| W2:246.2 | succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You | will is what I will as well and only that. And so I choose to love |
| W2:246.2 | it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I | will as well and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen. |
| W2:247.1 | Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I | will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's |
| W2:WIS.2 | Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then | will seek instead for witnesses to what is true. |
| W2:WIS.3 | lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His | Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be |
| W2:WIS.5 | How long, oh Son of God, | will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these |
| W2:WIS.5 | Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon | will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. |
| W2:253.1 | For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my | Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has |
| W2:253.2 | and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your | will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer glad assent to |
| W2:254.1 | this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your | Will, which I would share with You today. |
| W2:254.2 | hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our | will, as we have chosen to remember Him. |
| W2:257.2 | means for 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 |
| W2:257.2 | our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You | will for us. |
| W2:WIB.2 | The body | will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the Son of |
| W2:WIB.3 | the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the body | will obey by changing what we think that it is for. |
| W2:WIB.5 | You | will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may |
| W2:WIB.5 | You will identify with what you think | will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is |
| W2:WIB.5 | with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you | will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and |
| W2:261.1 | I | will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold |
| W2:261.1 | I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I | will behold myself where I perceive my strength and think I live |
| W2:261.1 | In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there | will I remember who I really am. |
| W2:264.2 | in this today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what | will save the world along with us? |
| W2:265.2 | and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I | will see creation's gentleness. |
| W2:268.1 | from its unity and thus to let it be as You created it. For thus | will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In Love |
| W2:268.1 | my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love | will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be |
| W2:270.1 | world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more | will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven |
| W2:270.1 | time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his | will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your own, and every |
| W2:270.2 | The quiet of today | will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. |
| W2:270.2 | The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace | will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His |
| W2:WIC.2 | separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope forever | will abide in Him. Your mind is part of His and His of yours. He is |
| W2:WIC.3 | only part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet | will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory and |
| W2:WIC.4 | dreams and bids them come to Him to be translated into truth. He | will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the end |
| W2:WIC.5 | And how long | will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time |
| W2:WIC.5 | find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory | will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or |
| W2:272.1 | Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your | will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me |
| W2:272.1 | bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I | will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your |
| W2:272.2 | dreams when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell and love | will happily replace all fear. |
| W2:274.1 | friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth | will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and |
| W2:274.1 | this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light | will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You |
| W2:274.1 | where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son | will know he is as You created him. |
| W2:274.2 | us today from Him 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 | 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 hearing. For |
| W2:275.2 | all 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 |
| W2:277.2 | Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and God can | will that He deceive Himself. |
| W2:279.2 | I | will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father |
| W2:WIHS.3 | what is forever unattainable. And if you offer them to Him, He | will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to |
| W2:WIHS.4 | and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without forgiveness | will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your |
| W2:WIHS.4 | remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your Father's Love | will not return to signify the end of dreams has come. |
| W2:281.2 | I | will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father |
| W2:285.1 | God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation | will be answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. |
| W2:285.1 | answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I | will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. For |
| W2:286.2 | The stillness of today | will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along |
| W2:286.2 | 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 trust in |
| W2:288.1 | because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I | will lose the way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not |
| W2:288.2 | Forgive me, then, today. And you | will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the |
| W2:290.2 | ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but seek to do Your | Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already |
| W2:290.2 | Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I | will see my happiness today. |
| W2:292.1 | Yet it is up to us when this is reached—how long we let an alien | will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, |
| W2:292.1 | 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 the |
| W2:292.1 | appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we | will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems |
| W2:292.1 | every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God's | Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find |
| W2:292.1 | the ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We | will seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees |
| W2:292.1 | For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we | will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is |
| W2:292.1 | in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His | Will, which guarantees that our will is done. |
| W2:292.1 | and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our | will is done. |
| W2:296.1 | set it free that I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice | will speak to me today. |
| W2:297.1 | to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation and that | will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself. |
| W2:298.1 | instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I | will be saved, sure that I go through fear to meet my Love. |
| W2:299.1 | God my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our | will together understands it. And our will together knows that it is |
| W2:299.1 | my holiness as His. Our will together understands it. And our | will together knows that it is so. |
| W2:299.2 | Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your | will that You be known. |
| W2:WISC.3 | the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that | will extend beyond itself and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is |
| W2:WISC.3 | to be returned to Spirit in the name of true creation and the | Will of God. |
| W2:WISC.4 | time itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet | will come or who is present now is equally released from what he |
| W2:WISC.5 | Pray that this Second Coming | will be soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears |
| W2:WISC.5 | all it needs 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 |
| W2:301.1 | is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it only what You | will. Let me today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes |
| W2:301.1 | Let me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed | will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge |
| W2:301.1 | tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I | will not judge Your world today. |
| W2:301.2 | understand. But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we | will look upon God's world today. |
| W2:304.1 | bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I | will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven |
| W2:305.2 | Father, the peace of Christ is given us because it is Your | will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift and |
| W2:307.1 | Father, Your | will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. |
| W2:307.1 | Father, Your will is mine, and only that. There is no other | will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is |
| W2:307.1 | 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. Your will alone can |
| W2:307.1 | have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and | will cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me happiness, and only |
| W2:307.1 | make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your | will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would |
| W2:307.1 | exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your | will for me and enter into peace where conflict is impossible. Your |
| W2:307.1 | conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and in | will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You |
| W2:307.2 | into a state where conflict cannot come because we join our holy | will with God's in recognition that they are but one. |
| W2:309.1 | Within me is eternal innocence because it is God's | Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is |
| W2:309.1 | God's Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose | will is limitless as is His own, can will no change in this. For to |
| W2:309.1 | and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His own, can | will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my |
| W2:309.1 | as is His own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's | Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God |
| W2:309.1 | my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my | will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I |
| W2:309.1 | 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 has no effects. |
| W2:310.1 | spend with You, as You have chosen all my days should be. And what I | will experience is not of time at all. The joy that comes to me is |
| W2:310.1 | of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day | will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to |
| W2:310.1 | holy Son, the sign Your grace has come to me and that it is Your | will that I be free today. |
| W2:WILJ.2 | in which the world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and | will therefore fade away because the Son of God is limitless. |
| W2:WILJ.4 | give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which | will set it free. |
| W2:311.1 | but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He | will relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have made |
| W2:312.2 | set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your | will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well. |
| W2:313.1 | so that fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And love | will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of |
| W2:314.1 | idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. Death | will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the |
| W2:314.2 | in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes and sure that You | will keep Your present promises and guide the future in their holy |
| W2:316.2 | today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them | will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth, |
| W2:317.1 | and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then | will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my |
| W2:319.1 | arrogance opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the truth | will come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied |
| W2:319.1 | ego thinks that what one gains totality must lose. And yet it is the | Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all. |
| W2:319.2 | Father, Your | Will is total. And the goal that stems from it shares its totality. |
| W2:319.2 | of the world could You have given me? And what but this could be the | will my Self has shared with You? |
| W2:320.1 | What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy | will can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and |
| W2:320.1 | to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father's | Will abides. |
| W2:320.2 | Your | Will can do all things in me and then extend to all the world as well |
| W2:320.2 | to all the world as well through me. There is no limit on Your | Will. And so all power has been given to Your Son. |
| W2:WICR.1 | There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor | will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any |
| W2:WICR.2 | share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one | will still be one when time is over and will not be changed |
| W2:WICR.2 | has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over and | will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it |
| W2:WICR.3 | the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His | Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the |
| W2:WICR.3 | is forever guaranteed inviolate, forever held within His holy | will beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection, and |
| W2:WICR.4 | our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's | Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but |
| W2:321.1 | I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son | will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the way to You is |
| W2:321.1 | to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my | will that I return. |
| W2:321.2 | Today we answer for the world, which | will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom |
| W2:324.1 | but choose to wander off a while and then return. Your loving Voice | will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all |
| W2:326.1 | still abide, and all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your | will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are |
| W2:326.1 | so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You | will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where |
| W2:326.1 | Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth | will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God. |
| W2:326.2 | first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy | Will. |
| W2:327.1 | on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He | will hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my |
| W2:327.1 | and faith in Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that | will endure and take me farther and still farther on the road that |
| W2:327.1 | farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I | will be sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still, |
| W2:327.2 | Father, I thank You that Your promises | will never fail in my experience if I but test them out. Let me |
| W2:328.1 | upside-down until we listen to the Voice of God. It seems that we | will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that our |
| W2:328.1 | is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His | Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is |
| W2:328.1 | to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our | will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will. |
| W2:328.1 | since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our | will. |
| W2:328.2 | There is no | will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what |
| W2:328.2 | nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your | will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share |
| W2:328.2 | that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that | will which You, my Father, gave as part of me. |
| W2:329.1 | Father, I thought I wandered from Your | Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more |
| W2:329.1 | from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second | will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your |
| W2:329.1 | will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your | Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this will never change. |
| W2:329.1 | truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this | will never change. As You are One, so am I one with You. And this I |
| W2:329.1 | One, so am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my | will became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all |
| W2:329.1 | It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. Father, my | will is Yours. And I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy |
| W2:329.1 | I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy because it is Your | will that it be so. |
| W2:329.2 | Today we | will accept our union with each other and our Source. We have no will |
| W2:329.2 | we will accept our union with each other and our Source. We have no | will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared |
| W2:329.2 | We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His | Will is shared by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. |
| W2:330.1 | restored to Spirit and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the | Will of God united with its own. The Self which God created cannot |
| W2:WIE.1 | in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the | will that sees the Will of God as enemy and takes a form in which It |
| W2:WIE.1 | to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the will that sees the | Will of God as enemy and takes a form in which It is denied. The ego |
| W2:WIE.2 | victor over God Himself, and in its terrible autonomy, it “sees” the | Will of God has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment and trembles |
| W2:WIE.5 | Yet | will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light, the |
| W2:WIE.5 | the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace | will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His |
| W2:331.1 | cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no | will except the will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that |
| W2:331.1 | could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the | will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no will that can conflict with |
| W2:331.1 | There is no will except the will of Love. Fear is a dream and has no | will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace |
| W2:331.1 | is illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no opposition to Your | Will. There is no conflict, for my will is Yours. |
| W2:331.1 | There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for my | will is Yours. |
| W2:331.2 | Forgiveness shows us that God's | Will is one and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights |
| W2:333.2 | evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone | will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son. |
| W2:334.1 | I | will not wait another day to find the treasures which my Father |
| W2:334.2 | bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your | Will for me, for thus will I behold my sinlessness. |
| W2:334.2 | I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus | will I behold my sinlessness. |
| W2:335.1 | brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I | will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light. |
| W2:338.1 | love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved Son | will be redeemed. |
| W2:338.2 | Your plan is sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans | will fail. And I will have thoughts that will frighten me until I |
| W2:338.2 | is sure, my Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I | will have thoughts that will frighten me until I learn that You have |
| W2:338.2 | only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have thoughts that | will frighten me until I learn that You have given me the only |
| W2:338.2 | given me the only Thought which leads me to salvation. Mine alone | will fail and lead me nowhere. But the Thought You gave me promises |
| W2:339.1 | can think that joy is painful, threatening, and dangerous. Everyone | will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about |
| W2:339.1 | that he would want when he receives it? He has asked for what | will frighten him and bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to |
| W2:340.1 | Father, I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it | will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. |
| W2:340.1 | I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son | will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice |
| W2:340.1 | for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he | will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through |
| W2:340.2 | today. Our Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but | will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the |
| W2:340.2 | His Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who | will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, |
| W2:340.2 | be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father | will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love. |
| W2:WIM.4 | to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith | will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really |
| W2:WIM.4 | to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle | will justify your faith in it and show it rested on a world more real |
| W2:344.1 | I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or | will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? |
| W2:344.1 | a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive | will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my |
| W2:345.2 | The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It | will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received. |
| W2:345.2 | miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we | will offer what we have received. |
| W2:346.1 | of all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I | will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek |
| W2:346.1 | 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 all laws of |
| W2:346.2 | And when the evening comes today, we | will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today |
| W2:346.2 | comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we | will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except |
| W2:347.1 | Father, I want what goes against my | will and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my |
| W2:347.1 | Father, I want what goes against my will and do not want what is my | will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have |
| W2:347.1 | would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my | will, but He is sure it is Your own. And He will speak for me, and |
| W2:347.1 | today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your own. And He | will speak for me, and call Your miracle to come to me. |
| W2:348.2 | that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be our | will, as well as His. |
| W2:349.1 | obey the law of love and give what I would find and make my own. It | will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. |
| W2:350.1 | result. Therefore, my Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory | will set me free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your |
| W2:350.2 | And as we gather miracles from Him, we | will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son will be |
| W2:350.2 | Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son | will be restored to us in the Reality of Love. |
| W2:WAI.3 | do not seek a function that is past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge | will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with |
| W2:WAI.5 | And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he | will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God. |
| W2:352.1 | alone and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment | will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in |
| W2:353.1 | I give all that is mine today to Christ to use in any way that best | will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, |
| W2:355.1 | Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? For You | will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure |
| W2:356.1 | problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You | will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers |
| W2:359.1 | Father, today we | will forgive Your world and let creation be Your own. We have |
| W2:FL.1 | Our final lessons | will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the |
| W2:FL.3 | to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we | will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His |
| W2:FL.5 | We | will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His |
| W2:FL.6 | him and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He | will answer thus, for these are His own Words to you. And more than |
| W2:FL.6 | one ever have, for in these Words is all there is and all that there | will be throughout all time and in eternity. |
| W2:361.1 | And if I need a word to help me, He | will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And |
| W2:361.1 | a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that | will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open |
| W2:361.1 | need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I | will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear |
| W2:361.1 | gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He | will hear and answer me because He speaks for God, my Father, and His |
| W2:E.1 | vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and | will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of |
| W2:E.1 | give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He | will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems |
| W2:E.1 | doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it | will be given you. |
| W2:E.2 | the course of those whom God has called to Him. Therefore, obey your | will and follow Him Whom you accepted as your Voice, to speak of what |
| W2:E.3 | Self when you retire from the world, to seek Reality instead. He | will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to |
| W2:E.4 | every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor | will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the |
| W2:E.4 | pain that you may think is real. Nor will He give you pleasures that | will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the good. Let Him |
| W2:E.4 | daily to you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He | will continue; now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you |
| W2:E.5 | The end is certain and the means as well. To this we say “Amen.” We | will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a |
| W2:E.5 | what God wills for us each time there is a choice to make. And He | will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will |
| W2:E.5 | He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell | will claim you not and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer |
| W2:E.6 | We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In peace we | will continue in His way and trust all things to Him. In confidence |
| W2:E.6 | all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His | Will in everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love him, |
| W2:E.6 | and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I | will never leave you comfortless. |
| 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:1.2 | teachers to speak for it and redeem the world. Many hear it, but few | will answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in |
| M:1.2 | it, but few will answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone | will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It |
| M:1.4 | hope. There was never a question of outcome, for what can change the | Will of God? But time, with its illusions of change and death, wears |
| M:2.1 | Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God's teachers, and they | will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They |
| M:2.1 | chosen for him, because the form of the universal curriculum that he | will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding. |
| M:2.1 | ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his choice but not whom he | will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach |
| M:2.1 | he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach | will be provided for him. |
| M:2.2 | correction was established and completed simultaneously, for the | Will of God is entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of |
| M:2.3 | as a new thought, a fresh idea, a different approach. Because your | will is free, you can accept what has already happened at any time |
| M:2.3 | what has already happened at any time you choose, and only then | will you realize that it was always there. As the course emphasizes, |
| M:2.3 | are not free to choose the curriculum or even the form in which you | will learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to |
| M:2.4 | too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's | Will in everything but seems to take time in the working-out. What |
| M:3.1 | of God. There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to meet | will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy |
| M:3.2 | situation. Perhaps the seeming strangers in the elevator | will smile to one another; perhaps the man will not scold the child |
| M:3.2 | strangers in the elevator will smile to one another; perhaps the man | will not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students |
| M:3.2 | will not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students | will become friends. Even at the level of the most casual encounter, |
| M:3.2 | lose sight of separate interests, if only for a moment. That moment | will be enough. Salvation has come. |
| M:3.3 | and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His | Will. Salvation is always ready and always there. God's teachers work |
| M:3.4 | situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved | will learn the most that he can from the other person at that time. |
| M:3.4 | each has learned the most he can at the time. Yet all who meet | will someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships |
| M:4.1 | of God have they as yet acquired the deeper characteristics that | will establish them as what they are. God gives special gifts to His |
| M:4.5 | at which he can make the shift entirely internally. And so the plan | will sometimes call for changes in what seem to be external |
| M:4.6 | the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness or hamper it. He | will find that many if not most of the things he valued before will |
| M:4.6 | He will find that many if not most of the things he valued before | will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned to new |
| M:4.6 | as they arise. Because he has valued what is really valueless, he | will not generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. It |
| M:4.7 | If this is interpreted as giving up the desirable, it | will engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of God escape this |
| M:4.8 | him. Now he rests a while and gathers them before going on. He | will not go on from here alone. |
| M:4.12 | they are honest. They can only succeed because they never do their | will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the world and all |
| M:4.14 | completely obliterates his function from his awareness. It | will make him confused, fearful, angry, and suspicious. It will make |
| M:4.14 | It will make him confused, fearful, angry, and suspicious. It | will make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn. Nor can |
| M:4.15 | they join their thoughts with Him Who is their Source. And so their | will, which always was His own, is free to be itself. |
| M:4.20 | 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 everything |
| M:5.3 | for his thoughts. And if he is responsible for his thoughts, he | will be killed to prove to him how weak and pitiful he is. But if he |
| M:5.5 | that this is so, and he recovers. If he decides against recovery, he | will not be healed. Who is the physician? Only the mind of the |
| M:5.7 | and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the learning | will generalize and transform the world. The transfer value of one |
| M:5.10 | and truth is not brought to them. So are they dispelled, not by the | will of another but by the union of the One will with itself. And |
| M:5.10 | dispelled, not by the will of another but by the union of the One | will with itself. And this is the function of God's teachers—to see |
| M:5.10 | with itself. And this is the function of God's teachers—to see no | will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from God's. |
| M:6.2 | Healing | will always stand aside when it would be seen as threat. The instant |
| M:6.2 | instant it is welcome it is there. Where healing has been given, it | will be received. And what is time before the gifts of God? We have |
| M:6.2 | accepted. Let him be certain it has been received and trust that it | will be accepted when it is recognized as a blessing and not a curse. |
| M:6.3 | part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver | will not lose but only gain. Who gives a gift and then remains with |
| M:8.3 | outward, and it sends the body's eyes to find it. The body's eyes | will never see except through differences. Yet it is not the messages |
| M:8.4 | this? Unrecognized by itself, it has itself asked to be given what | will fit into these categories. And having done so, it concludes that |
| M:8.5 | of the insane in a larger hallucination as opposed to a smaller one? | Will he agree more quickly to the unreality of a louder voice he |
| M:8.5 | unreality of a louder voice he hears than to that of a softer one? | Will he dismiss more easily a whispered demand to kill than a shout? |
| M:8.5 | they are real to him. When he realizes they are all illusions, they | will disappear. And so it is with healing. The properties of |
| M:8.6 | The body's eyes | will continue to see differences, but the mind which has let itself |
| M:8.6 | to see differences, but the mind which has let itself be healed | will no longer acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be |
| M:8.6 | has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them. There | will be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body's |
| M:8.6 | be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body's eyes | will report their changed appearances as before. But the mind will |
| M:8.6 | eyes will report their changed appearances as before. But the mind | will put them all in one category—they are unreal. This is the gift |
| M:10.6 | his mistaken choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step | will bring you peace. Can it be difficult to want but this? |
| M:12.1 | is based upon God's Judgment, not His own. Thus does He share God's | Will and bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever |
| M:12.4 | to let God's Voice speak through it to human ears. And these ears | will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this |
| M:12.4 | of the hearer messages which are not of this world, and the mind | will understand because of their Source. From this understanding will |
| M:12.4 | will understand because of their Source. From this understanding | will come the recognition in this new teacher of God of what the |
| M:12.5 | central lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it | will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same |
| M:12.5 | you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you | will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful, it is weak, and being |
| M:12.5 | body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's Voice | will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It tells him |
| M:13.1 | world. Like all things in the world, its meaning is temporary and | will ultimately fade into the nothingness from which it came when |

| M:16.10 | There is no substitute for the | Will of God. In simple statement, it is to this fact that the teacher |
| M:16.11 | trust in magic, for it is only this that leads to pain. “There is no | will but God's.” His teachers know that this is so and have learned |
| M:17.2 | outcomes. Nor should it be forgotten that the outcome that results | will always come to teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been |
| M:17.2 | who need his aid? Here is his gift most clearly given him. For he | will give only what he has chosen for himself. And in this gift is |
| M:17.3 | then is easily responded to with just one answer, and this answer | will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly. From there it shines into |
| M:17.4 | Perhaps it | will be helpful to remember that no one can be angry at a fact. It is |
| M:17.5 | possible that the mind which thinks it believes it has a separate | will that can oppose the Will of God and succeed. That this can |

| M:18.2 | is He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they | will gladly be returned to Him. And now is guilt forgiven, overlooked |
| M:20.3 | this, given forgiveness there must be peace. For what except attack | will lead to war? And what but peace is opposite to war? Here the |

| M:20.4 | the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist | will certainly return. War is again accepted as the one reality. Now |

| M:20.5 | you have decided that death ends life. Forgive the world, and you | will understand that everything which God created cannot have an end, |

| M:20.6 | that contradicts His Will yet can be true. The contrast between His | Will and yours but seemed to be reality. In truth there is no |

| M:21.4 | say. This process is merely a special case of the workbook lesson “I | will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of God accepts |
| M:22.2 | seems 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 |
| M:22.5 | himself and can hardly offer it to his brother in Christ's Name. He | will, in fact, be unable to recognize his brother at all, for his |

| Tx:5.92 | own existence. It reflects both the ego's need to separate and your | willingness to side with its separateness. This willingness means |

| Tx:9.86 | is always there to be accepted, but its acceptance depends on your | willingness to have it. To know reality must involve the willingness |
| Tx:9.86 | on your willingness to have it. To know reality must involve the | willingness to judge unreality for what it is. This is the right use |
| Tx:10.11 | much He has given you. Your ability to accept Him depends on your | willingness to give as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father are |

| Tx:10.76 | Perceptions are learned, and you are not without a Teacher. Yet your | willingness to learn of Him depends on your willingness to question |
| Tx:10.76 | a Teacher. Yet your willingness to learn of Him depends on your | willingness to question everything you have learned of yourself, for |

| Tx:15.13 | instants of release you offer and will receive. They attest to your | willingness to be released and to offer time to the Holy Spirit for |
| Tx:15.36 | Your practice must therefore rest upon your | willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude |
| Tx:15.39 | release from littleness in the mind of the host of God depends on | willingness and not on time. The reason why this course is simple is |
| Tx:15.42 | to oppose it. For the holy instant is given and received with equal | willingness, being the acceptance of the single will that governs all |
| Tx:15.49 | and be sure that it will not result in pain if you offer Him your | willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the guilt in it |
| Tx:15.78 | Here there is no concealment and no private thoughts. The | willingness to communicate attracts communication to it and overcomes |
| Tx:15.79 | for your release. He must side with every sign or token of your | willingness to learn of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to |
| Tx:15.80 | that it be all that there is. God's Son has such great need of your | willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive of need so |
| Tx:15.85 | entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent. Given this | willingness, it will not leave you, for it is permanent. For once you |

| Tx:16.69 | to share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your | willingness need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His |

| Tx:18.15 | examples both of the ego's inability to tolerate reality and your | willingness to change reality on its behalf. |
| Tx:18.25 | you accepted is the goal of knowledge, for which you signified your | willingness. Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, |
| Tx:18.29 | You have been willing to bring the darkness to light, and this | willingness has given strength to everyone who would remain in |
| Tx:18.32 | your determination to be holy. It is the answer. The desire and the | willingness to let it come precedes its coming. You prepare your |
| Tx:18.33 | your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your | willingness, whatever else may enter. Concentrate only on this and be |
| Tx:18.33 | coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your | willingness to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this |
| Tx:18.33 | lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your | willingness for this lies also your acceptance of yourself as you |
| Tx:18.34 | must be interfering with His Will. You do not need the strength of | willingness to come from you, but only from His Will. |
| Tx:18.35 | The holy instant does not come from your little | willingness alone. It is always the result of your small willingness |
| Tx:18.35 | your little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small | willingness combined with the unlimited power of God's Will. You have |
| Tx:18.35 | for peace. God has established them. They do not wait upon your | willingness for what they are. Your willingness is needed only to |
| Tx:18.35 | them. They do not wait upon your willingness for what they are. Your | willingness is needed only to make it possible to teach you what they |
| Tx:18.36 | first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple | willingness to make way for it. Purification is of God alone and |
| Tx:18.42 | help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a little | willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be forgiven. |
| Tx:18.46 | by anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your | willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this instant for the |
| Tx:21.13 | little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small | willingness you need to have your whole relationship transformed to |
| Tx:22.28 | to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this | willingness if you would be released entirely from all effects of |
| Tx:22.58 | will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or | willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost to anyone. |
| Tx:24.2 | To learn this course requires | willingness to question every value that you hold. Not one can be |
| Tx:24.60 | 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 find |
| Tx:25.36 | How better could your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your | willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond |
| Tx:25.63 | use what you withhold, for He cannot take it from you without your | willingness. For if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you |
| Tx:25.79 | are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds out his hand in | willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure less as it is given |
| Tx:26.56 | complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little | willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that speaks |
| Tx:26.56 | with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a | willingness that truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken |
| Tx:28.46 | when you do not insist on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your | willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son |
| Tx:30.1 | by which it can be reached depends on this one thing alone—your | willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a little every |
| Tx:30.77 | Look on your brother with the | willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him |
| Tx:30.77 | to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him outside your | willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole. And what is |
| W1:71.12 | plan for your salvation. He will answer you in proportion to your | willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very fact that |
| W1:71.12 | very fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some | willingness to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to |
| W1:89.5 | idea do I accept my release from hell. By this idea do I express my | willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth according |
| W1:122.4 | given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, half-hearted | willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial |
| W1:129.7 | Practice your | willingness to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at |

| W1:134.18 | are prepared for freedom. If you have been practicing thus far in | willingness and honesty, you will begin to sense a lifting up, a |
| W1:136.5 | your own control. But what you have forgot can be remembered, given | willingness to reconsider the decision which is doubly shielded by |
| W1:I2.1 | Our next few lessons make a special point of firming up your | willingness to make your weak commitment strong, your scattered goals |

| Tx:11.71 | which created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who | wills to project His peace through you. |

| Tx:13.75 | His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of everything God | wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of God which He so |
| Tx:13.78 | leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn what God | wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will think you |
| Tx:14.34 | and in you. All interference in the communication that God Himself | wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and |
| Tx:14.57 | it is not recognized, you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who | wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His |
| Tx:14.63 | one thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His Father | wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in one form or another. |

| Tx:16.17 | your interpretation, considering honestly what they have been? God | wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God |
| Tx:17.21 | The Holy Spirit | wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He |
| Tx:18.34 | unworthy of Him. And if you believe He cannot enter where He | wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not need |
| Tx:18.40 | you impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if God so | wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the |
| Tx:18.40 | orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. Everything God | wills is not only possible but has already happened. And that is why |
| Tx:18.43 | yourselves for such a function? Yet it is possible because God | wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The means and purpose |
| Tx:19.31 | —partly sane and partially insane. For He must have created what | wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to |
| Tx:19.80 | Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death, | wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin nor its |
| Tx:21.26 | For if you think the world you made has power to make you what it | wills, you are confusing Son and Father, effect and Source. |
| Tx:21.34 | take them from you, for He sees their value as a means for what He | wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your |
| Tx:21.53 | consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God, for what God | wills for him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor |
| Tx:21.53 | the Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God | wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to |
| Tx:22.20 | to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He | wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment are more than |
| Tx:22.21 | do what holds no hope of ever being done. You know what your Creator | wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must |

| Tx:22.54 | Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed because your | wills are joined. |
| Tx:22.57 | undismayed? God would let nothing interfere with those whose | wills are His[. And they will recognize their wills are His, because |

| Tx:24.30 | would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what He | wills for you and what you will. They are the same, for neither one |
| Tx:24.30 | wills for you and what you will. They are the same, for neither one | wills specialness. How could they will the death of love itself? Yet |
| Tx:24.50 | a Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For what God | wills is whole and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive |
| Tx:24.61 | To Him this judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His Father | wills is possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see. Out of |
| Tx:25.43 | he would only heal and only bless. And being in accord with what God | wills, he has the power to heal and bless all those he looks on with |
| Tx:26.57 | What is the Will of God? He | wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created |
| Tx:26.60 | Cause and effect are one, not separate. God | wills you learn what always has been true—that He created you as |
| Tx:26.63 | In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his Father | wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his |
| Tx:26.63 | for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his Father | wills that he should live. |
| Tx:26.65 | that He gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what He | wills. The gift of God to you is limitless. There is no circumstance |
| Tx:27.36 | there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He | wills already has been done. |
| Tx:28.15 | he can glimpse another shore which he can never reach. His Father | wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over. He has built the |
| Tx:28.15 | His Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He | wills. Nor that you be excluded from the Will that is for you. |
| Tx:28.33 | The miracle will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who | wills to come and bridge His Son's returning to Himself. |

| Tx:28.60 | to Himself, and there is no one who could be untrue to what He | wills as part of what He is. The promise that there is no gap between |
| Tx:30.36 | 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 universe along |
| Tx:31.67 | not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father | wills for you can never change. The truth in you remains as radiant |
| Tx:31.88 | all the power of the Will of God. And what they will is only what He | wills. |

| W1:107.8 | give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your Father | wills these dreams be gone. Let truth correct them all. We do not ask |
| W1:122.7 | to a mind which has received what God has given as its own. God | wills salvation be received today and that the intricacies of your |
| W1:125.1 | this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father | wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your |
| W1:125.5 | the illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows His Son and | wills that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams, |
| W1:131.7 | it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God | wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past or yet |
| W1:131.7 | How could the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He | wills is now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far |
| W1:131.9 | an alien will upon God's single purpose. He is here because He | wills to be, and what He wills is present now beyond the reach of |

| W1:151.14 | miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God | wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is |
| W1:154.11 | to those whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring us where He | wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He |

| W1:165.1 | death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your Father | wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed except |
| W1:166.2 | another will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He | wills. Impossible indeed, but every mind that looks upon the world |
| W1:167.11 | His holy home we strive to keep today, as He established it and | wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. |
| W1:R5.11 | we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me. Our Father | wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not then be one |
| W1:185.12 | His own eternal gift. How can you fail when you but ask for what He | wills for you? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No |
| W1:186.1 | the Will of God is done on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all | wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save the world, restoring it to |
| W1:193.1 | Yet His Will extends to what He does not understand in that He | wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed, eternal |
| W2:235.1 | that seem to hurt me and with perfect certainty assure myself, “God | wills that I be saved from this,” and merely watch them disappear. I |

| Tx:4.20 | I will substitute for your ego if you | wish but never for your Soul. A father can safely leave a child with |
| Tx:7.93 | Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is to create. It does not | wish to contain God but to extend His Being. The extension of God's |
| Tx:7.102 | is both very fearful and very desirable. Yet God wills. He does not | wish. Your will is as powerful as His because it is His. The ego's |
| Tx:7.102 | mean anything, because the ego wishes for the impossible. You can | wish for the impossible, but you can will only with God. This is the |
| Tx:7.105 | We said before that you are the Will of God. His Will is not an idle | wish, and your identification with His Will is not optional, since it |
| Tx:7.105 | which the ego guards so jealously, is not accomplished by your | wish. It was accomplished for you by the Will of God, Who has not |

| Tx:10.2 | source of perceived conflict, because the ego was made out of the | wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing more than |
| Tx:12.5 | You have not admitted to this “terrible” secret because you still | wish to crucify him if you could find him. Yet the wish has hidden |
| Tx:12.5 | because you still wish to crucify him if you could find him. Yet the | wish has hidden him from you because it is very fearful, and you are |
| Tx:12.5 | very fearful, and you are afraid to find him. You have handled this | wish to kill yourself by not knowing who you are and identifying with |
| Tx:12.12 | fear of love. You would be willing to look even upon your savage | wish to kill God's Son if you did not believe that it saves you from |
| Tx:12.12 | Son if you did not believe that it saves you from love. For this | wish caused the separation. You have protected it because you do not |
| Tx:12.21 | departing in peace and returning to the Father? If the Son did not | wish to remain in peace, he could not remain at all. For a darkened |
| Tx:12.36 | do not recognize that they have condemned themselves. They do not | wish to die, yet they will not let condemnation go. And so they |
| Tx:13.65 | your guiltlessness can you be happy. There is no conflict here. To | wish for guilt in any way, in any form, will lose appreciation of the |
| Tx:14.31 | to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not | wish for all the world not to accept what God would have you have. |
| Tx:15.23 | that can ever content you. You are free to try as many as you | wish, but all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you |
| Tx:16.46 | It is in the special relationship, born of the hidden | wish for special love from God, that the ego's hatred triumphs. For |
| Tx:17.2 | It is, then, only your | wish to change reality that is fearful, because by your wish you |
| Tx:17.2 | only your wish to change reality that is fearful, because by your | wish you think you have accomplished what you wish. This strange |
| Tx:17.2 | because by your wish you think you have accomplished what you | wish. This strange position in a sense acknowledges your power. Yet |
| Tx:17.3 | your lack of faith in the power that heals all pain arises from your | wish to retain some aspects of reality for fantasy. If you but |
| Tx:18.14 | your ego, which was outraged by the “attack.” This would not be your | wish unless you saw yourself as one with the ego, which always looks |
| Tx:18.19 | Your | wish to make another world that is not real remains with you. And |
| Tx:18.22 | It is not strange that dreams can make a world that is unreal. The | wish to make it is incredible. Your relationship has become one in |
| Tx:18.22 | make it is incredible. Your relationship has become one in which the | wish has been removed because its purpose has been changed from one |
| Tx:18.27 | is not necessary. All that was necessary was merely the | wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The Will of |
| Tx:18.27 | All that was necessary was merely the wish to understand. That | wish was the desire to be holy. The Will of God is granted you. For |
| Tx:18.53 | can clearly be sick, but project not this upon the body. For your | wish to make destructive what cannot destroy can have no real effect |
| Tx:19.23 | the death of God, Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's | wish, which in its madness it thinks it has accomplished. |
| Tx:19.46 | The little insane | wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out must |
| Tx:19.46 | out must produce conflict. As you look upon the world, this little | wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land and settle briefly |
| Tx:19.47 | This feather of a | wish, this tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the belief in |
| Tx:19.85 | unable to protect the life that He created against the ego's savage | wish to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of |
| Tx:20.62 | remain unquestioned while the end is cherished. Vision adapts to | wish, for sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the |
| Tx:20.66 | “How can I see my brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I really | wish to see him sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his |
| Tx:21.46 | the gifts it would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” | wish to look within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still |
| Tx:21.82 | seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the last question adds the | wish for constancy in your desire to see the real world, so the |
| Tx:21.84 | Happiness must be constant because it is attained by giving up the | wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except through |
| Tx:21.84 | constant vision. And constant vision can be given only those who | wish for constancy. The power of the Son of God's desire remains the |
| Tx:23.11 | not forgotten what you are. Only a strange illusion of yourself, a | wish to triumph over what you are, remembers not. |
| Tx:23.47 | the same cannot conflict. You are not asked to fight against your | wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the form it takes |
| Tx:24.10 | it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice or stab of hate or | wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share |
| Tx:24.36 | To minds intent on specialness, it is impossible. Yet to those who | wish to heal and not attack, it is quite obvious. The purpose of |
| Tx:24.38 | to reach it. But do consider, and consider well, whether it is your | wish that you might see your brother sinless. To specialness the |
| Tx:24.40 | what 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 |
| Tx:24.40 | it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can | wish for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, |
| Tx:24.40 | Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. The power of a | wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except |
| Tx:24.52 | the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the Son as all you | wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances, |
| Tx:24.62 | to this world defend the specialness he wants to be the truth! His | wish is law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his specialness demands |
| Tx:24.68 | in his memory, one thought with purpose still uncertain, or one | wish with a divided aim. |
| Tx:24.69 | it but witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a | wish—an image that you wanted to be true. |
| Tx:24.70 | an image 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 |
| Tx:24.72 | will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his | wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can perception serve |
| Tx:25.24 | there with him so he could not be lost forever in the madness of his | wish. |
| Tx:25.31 | The Son of God could never sin, but he can | wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to think he can be |
| Tx:25.33 | for you to see. Nothing is harmful or beneficent apart from what you | wish. It is your wish that makes it what it is in its effects on you. |
| Tx:25.33 | is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your | wish that makes it what it is in its effects on you. Because you |
| Tx:25.34 | hopes, their dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every | wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear before the sun you bring. |
| Tx:25.38 | wishes to attack, can fail to think it must be guilty to deserve the | wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as |
| Tx:25.38 | leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as innocent and | wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each time you look on |
| Tx:25.44 | say that he prefers the darkness and maintain he wants to see? The | wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the |
| Tx:25.48 | time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for himself. His | wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his brother |
| Tx:25.50 | of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a | wish to make this world's foundation sure as love, dependable as |
| Tx:25.51 | It cannot be the “sinner's” | wish for death is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can |
| Tx:25.51 | His Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What | wish can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could realize |
| Tx:26.1 | a brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a | wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the |
| Tx:26.15 | For there are those you want to suffer loss and no one whom you | wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again |
| Tx:26.17 | perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to | wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and |
| Tx:26.22 | lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between the | wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are |
| Tx:26.22 | saved. Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the | wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same? This |
| Tx:26.37 | more gone by. And everything which points to it as real is but a | wish that what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and |
| Tx:26.48 | The Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a | wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the place of |
| Tx:26.51 | to what God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any | wish that seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the truth. |
| Tx:26.54 | and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your | wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands |
| Tx:26.54 | takes away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the | wish that you be joined with him and not apart. We call it “wish” |
| Tx:26.55 | Yet is this | wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's Will. |
| Tx:26.56 | Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little | wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to overlook what |
| Tx:26.60 | of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind can | wish to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not. And to |
| Tx:26.63 | the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every | wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for |
| Tx:26.65 | to lay aside the power that He gave and choose a little senseless | wish instead of what He wills. The gift of God to you is limitless. |
| Tx:26.77 | sleeps your own salvation with his freedom joined! However much you | wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never will you know He is in |
| Tx:27.1 | The | wish to be unfairly treated is a compromise attempt that would |
| Tx:27.2 | now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set free. | Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will |
| Tx:27.7 | It is not will for life, but | wish for death that is the motivation for this world. Its only |
| Tx:27.18 | hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but | wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your |
| Tx:27.19 | love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish | wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see |
| Tx:27.19 | guilt upon his heart made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you | wish is given you to see. |
| 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 |
| Tx:27.45 | must compel belief. No one is healed through double messages. If you | wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single purpose makes this |
| Tx:27.81 | escape effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your | wish to let no dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do? |
| Tx:28.2 | for something else. It can be used to heal and not to hurt if you so | wish it be. |
| Tx:28.19 | are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you | wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is like a |
| Tx:28.31 | holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a | wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause |
| Tx:28.37 | dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his | wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you |
| Tx:28.37 | wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you | wish that they be turned instead on you. Thus have they no effects. |
| Tx:28.37 | you help him, you will suffer pain with him because that is your | wish. And you become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. |
| Tx:28.56 | for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and little by your | wish. It seems to punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the |
| Tx:28.58 | of what was made in secret, in agreement with another's secret | wish to be apart from you, as you would be apart from him. Unless you |
| Tx:28.58 | as you would be apart from him. Unless you both agree that is your | wish, it can have no effects. Whoever says, “There is no gap between |
| Tx:29.15 | What you have given “life” is not alive and symbolizes but your | wish to be alive apart from life, alive in death, with death |
| Tx:29.49 | are between the two. You choose your dreams, for they are what you | wish, perceived as if it had been given you. Your idols do what you |
| Tx:29.54 | constitutes a gap between the Christ and what you see. An idol is a | wish made tangible and given form and thus perceived as real and seen |
| Tx:29.61 | What happened to the holy Son of God that this could be his | wish—to let himself fall lower than the stones upon the ground and |
| Tx:29.63 | Thus does an idol keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could | wish for one unless he were in terror and despair? And this the idol |
| Tx:29.63 | But in the dream of judgment, you attack and are condemned and | wish to be the slave of idols which are interposed between your |
| Tx:30.57 | to twist and fit into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a | wish to understand all things created as they really are. And it is |
| Tx:30.59 | and he but remains until it is made perfect in himself. He has no | wish for anything but this. And fear has dropped away because he is |
| Tx:30.75 | There is no surer proof idolatry is what you | wish than a belief there are some forms of sickness and of |
| Tx:30.80 | God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your | wish to make illusions real. And what is this except a simple |
| Tx:30.91 | What is temptation but a | wish to make illusions real? It does not seem to be the wish that no |
| Tx:30.91 | but a wish to make illusions real? It does not seem to be the | wish that no reality be so. Yet it is an assertion that some forms of |
| Tx:31.5 | yourselves. It was not made to do the Will of God but to uphold a | wish that It could be opposed, and that a will apart from It was yet |
| Tx:31.11 | What is temptation but a | wish to make the wrong decision on what you would learn and have an |
| Tx:31.14 | the truth is given you. You would establish truth. And by your | wish, you set two choices to be made each time you think you must |
| Tx:31.22 | precious and in need of care. There will be no assault upon your | wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you |
| Tx:31.65 | 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 is done |
| Tx:31.77 | What is temptation but the | wish to stay in hell and misery? And what could this give rise to but |
| Tx:31.78 | Yet while you | wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the Son of God? |
| Tx:31.79 | Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a | wish to be a self which you are not. And from that wish, a concept |
| Tx:31.79 | but reflects a wish to be a self which you are not. And from that | wish, a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to |
| Tx:31.79 | from that wish, a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you | wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish |
| Tx:31.79 | you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the | wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish |
| Tx:31.79 | behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the | wish begot of you. For vision can but represent a wish, because it |

| W1:104.7 | that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And we would | wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth. |
| W1:128.5 | We hold it purposeless within our minds and loosen it from all we | wish it were. Thus do we lift the chains which bar the door to |

| W1:132.5 | you looked for when you came. There is no world apart from what you | wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on |
| W1:135.2 | plan the future, activate the past, or organize the present as you | wish. You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what |
| W1:152.1 | one dies without his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your | wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your world, |
| W1:153.9 | defense because we are created unassailable, without all thought or | wish or dream in which attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, |
| W1:155.11 | the holy Son of God will make no journeys. There will be no | wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step forth toward |
| W1:161.2 | world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you | wish to see. All hearing but brings to your mind the sounds it wants |
| W1:163.1 | lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the | wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All such thoughts |
| W1:166.11 | Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The | wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has |
| W1:183.7 | our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only | wish we have, the only sound with any meaning, and the only name of |
| W1:185.6 | with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the | wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it are given in a |

| W1:191.3 | from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but the | wish to die. |
| W1:195.3 | that there is no hope remaining. Now is vengeance all there is to | wish for. Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in death with |
| W2:I.9 | We had a | wish that God would fail to have the Son whom He created for Himself. |

| Tx:8.4 | to the Kingdom that you cannot understand the state which prevails | within it. Your past learning must have taught you the wrong things |
| Tx:8.14 | The Will of God is without limit, and all power and glory lie | within it. It is boundless in strength and in love and in peace. It |
| Tx:8.29 | You can have guidance from without, but you must accept it from | within. The guidance must [become] what you want, or it will be |
| Tx:8.92 | an alien will upon you. He is merely making every possible effort, | within the limits you impose on Him, to re-establish your own will in |
| Tx:8.105 | do not try to look beyond yourself for truth, for truth can only be | within you. Say, therefore, |
| Tx:9.43 | You cannot evaluate an insane belief system from | within it. Its own range precludes this. You can only go beyond it, |
| Tx:9.43 | in you, you have chosen to be little and to lament your littleness. | Within the system which dictated this choice, the lament is |
| Tx:9.43 | and you do not ask, “Who granted it?” The question is meaningless | within the ego's thought system, because it opens the whole thought |
| Tx:9.44 | its foundation. And this must be questioned from beyond it, because, | within it, its foundation does stand. The Holy Spirit judges against |
| Tx:9.57 | Voice, reminds you of it, and God Himself keeps your extensions safe | within it. Yet you do not know them until you return to them. You |
| Tx:10.34 | is withdrawn from without, there is a strong tendency to harbor it | within. It is difficult at first to realize that this is exactly the |
| Tx:10.34 | this is exactly the same thing, for there is no distinction between | within and without. |
| Tx:10.67 | You will awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is | within you. If I live in you, you are awake. Yet you must see the |
| Tx:10.83 | you. Do you believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is | within you. Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in |
| Tx:11.2 | you have attacked the integrity of your mind and pitted one level | within it against another. |
| Tx:11.30 | and the recognition that it encompasses completely opposed thoughts | within itself is intolerable. Therefore the mind projects the split, |
| Tx:11.40 | you will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to look | within yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the |
| Tx:11.68 | different. The mind then sees a divided world outside itself but not | within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to |
| Tx:11.70 | think you have received anything else, it is because you have looked | within and thought you saw the power to give something else within |
| Tx:11.70 | looked within and thought you saw the power to give something else | within yourself. It was only this decision that determined what you |
| Tx:11.71 | You are afraid of me because you looked | within and are afraid of what you saw. Yet you could not have seen |
| Tx:11.72 | learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you look | within, and we will look upon the world as God created it together. |
| Tx:11.73 | When you look | within and see me, it will be because you have decided to manifest |
| Tx:11.73 | truth. And as you manifest it, you will see it both without and | within, for you will see it without because you saw it first within. |
| Tx:11.73 | and within, for you will see it without because you saw it first | within. Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you |
| Tx:11.73 | Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you beheld | within. If it is your judgment, it will be wrong, for judgment is not |
| Tx:11.76 | 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 myself alone? And |
| Tx:11.77 | you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His Son safely | within Himself and kept him far away from your destructive thoughts, |
| Tx:12.11 | fear if you did not believe that, without the ego, you would find | within yourself something you fear even more. You are not afraid of |
| Tx:12.36 | private worlds, where everything is disordered and where what is | within appears to be without. Yet what is within they do not see, for |
| Tx:12.36 | and where what is within appears to be without. Yet what is | within they do not see, for the reality of their brothers they cannot |
| Tx:12.42 | and in this you are deceived. Beyond this darkness and yet still | within you is the vision of Christ, Who looks on all in light. Your |
| Tx:12.42 | its witnesses and drawing them unto you. For He loves what He sees | within you, and He would extend it. And He will not return unto the |
| Tx:12.43 | His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son | within you, shining in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your |
| Tx:12.44 | to the Father. And all this will they understand because they looked | within and saw beyond the darkness the Christ in them and recognized |
| Tx:12.50 | for it holds the only things that are forever true. All healing lies | within it because its continuity is real. It extends to all aspects |
| Tx:12.63 | Him not. His Being does not depend upon your recognition. He lives | within you in the quiet present and waits for you to leave the past |
| Tx:12.65 | be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him and | within him. He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives |
| Tx:12.71 | may become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. | Within himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to shine |
| Tx:13.17 | Guilt makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt | within you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the |
| Tx:13.17 | throw a dark veil over it and cannot see it because you cannot look | within. You are afraid of what you would see there, but it is not |
| Tx:13.17 | but it is not there. The thing you fear is gone. If you would look | within, you would see only the Atonement, shining in quiet and in |
| Tx:13.18 | Do not be afraid to look | within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids |
| Tx:13.18 | be afraid to look within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt | within you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look upon |
| Tx:13.18 | in which they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the light | within. Within you is not what you believe is there and what you put |
| Tx:13.18 | they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the light within. | Within you is not what you believe is there and what you put your |
| Tx:13.19 | Within you is the holy sign of perfect faith your Father has in you. | |
| Tx:13.19 | but you cannot change it. Look, then, upon the light He placed | within you and learn that what you feared was there has been replaced |
| Tx:13.22 | they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not look | within and let it go. They cannot know they love and cannot |
| Tx:13.24 | guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement, which shone | within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not look |
| Tx:13.24 | within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not look | within and see it. |
| Tx:13.25 | justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you will not look | within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt will |
| Tx:13.27 | is pressing everywhere upon him from without. When he has looked | within and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his |
| Tx:13.28 | how much you love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining peace | within you is the perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not |
| Tx:13.29 | from guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to look | within and see the light of love shining as steadily and as surely as |
| Tx:13.29 | always loved your Father can have no fear for any reason to look | within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you were. |
| Tx:13.29 | vision, He would show you the perfect purity that is forever | within God's Son. |
| Tx:13.32 | purity, wholly untouched by guilt and wholly loving, is bright | within you. Let us look upon him together and love him. For in our |
| Tx:13.42 | The Communication Link which God Himself placed | within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may |
| Tx:13.44 | Can God's Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed | within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate |
| Tx:13.82 | remain in close communication with Him and with everything that is | within Him, as it is within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His |
| Tx:13.82 | with Him and with everything that is within Him, as it is | within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His loving guidance and |
| Tx:13.86 | You will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining | within him while you still believe it is not there. His guiltlessness |
| Tx:13.90 | are wrong about yourself. He created you out of Himself but still | within Him. He knows what you are. Remember that there is no second |
| Tx:14.4 | for only He knows what God is. Everything else that you have placed | within your mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication with |
| Tx:14.8 | purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of guilt | within which the Son of God has hidden himself from his own sight. We |
| Tx:14.11 | in your safe inclusion in what is for all in everyone you bring | within its safety and its perfect peace. |
| Tx:14.12 | the acknowledgment of perfect purity from which no one is excluded. | Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy |
| Tx:14.12 | draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly | within this circle and attract all tortured minds to join with you in |
| Tx:14.12 | join with you in the safety of its peace and holiness. Abide with me | within it as teachers of Atonement, not of guilt. |
| Tx:14.13 | In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I stand | within the circle, calling you to peace. Teach peace with me and |
| Tx:14.13 | cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not outside but join with me | within. Fail not the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. |
| Tx:14.15 | Each one you see you place | within the holy circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit |
| Tx:14.15 | in the holy place of peace, which is for all of us, united as one | within the cause of peace. |
| Tx:14.17 | The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells | within you is merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and |
| Tx:14.25 | lost nor sought nor found. It is there, wherever you are, being | within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real or false |
| Tx:14.34 | not this. And yet you do know God and also this. All this is safe | within you, where the Holy Spirit shines. He shines not in division, |
| Tx:14.40 | gods upon it. The temple still is holy, for the Presence that dwells | within it is Holiness. |
| Tx:15.39 | I stand | within the holy instant, as clear as you would have me. And the |
| Tx:15.56 | equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace | within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all relationships are |
| Tx:15.60 | the mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By holding it | within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus becomes a |
| Tx:15.102 | in darkness. See it not outside yourself but shining in the Heaven | within and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He |
| Tx:15.104 | part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live | within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived |
| Tx:16.24 | real cause and effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet | within you is everything you taught. What can it be that has not |
| Tx:16.28 | by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined | within it. And so the one who would cross over is literally |
| Tx:16.32 | the haven by attempting to build barricades against it and keep | within them. The special love relationship is not perceived as a |
| Tx:16.35 | not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all of the barriers | within yourself which you have built against it. It is not necessary |
| Tx:16.35 | love outside yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred | within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the |
| Tx:16.63 | as it is seen here. For the little spark which holds the Great Rays | within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited long to |
| Tx:16.68 | is increased with each light that returns to take its rightful place | within it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the |
| Tx:17.30 | it and by His blessing enabled it to be healed. This blessing holds | within itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the |
| Tx:17.54 | shining and gracious in your awareness of time but not concealed | within it. The instant remains. But where are you? To give thanks to |
| Tx:17.55 | outside you, you could not share in its gladness. Yet because it is | within, the gladness, too, is yours. You are joined in purpose, but |
| Tx:18.6 | [It was inevitable.] For truth brought to this could only remain | within in quiet and take no part in all the mad projection by which |
| Tx:18.7 | it is the other way; that truth is outside and error and guilt | within. Your little senseless substitutions, touched with insanity |
| Tx:18.8 | from sight, far, far outside you. And turn you to the stately calm | within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God you never left |
| Tx:18.8 | outside yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety | within. He brings all your insane projections and your wild |
| Tx:18.9 | and sharing and substituting have nothing in common in reality. | Within yourselves you love each other with a perfect love. Here is |
| Tx:18.11 | is glad that your relationship is as it was created.] The universe | within you stands with you, together. And Heaven looks with love on |
| Tx:18.12 | world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds | within it. Would you still further weaken and break apart what is |
| Tx:18.18 | it, you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a world, clearly | within your mind, that seems to be outside. You do not respond to it |
| Tx:18.21 | be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who come | within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:18.45 | Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that remains of dreams | within it is that it is still a special relationship. Yet it is very |
| Tx:18.49 | there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else | within. |
| Tx:18.56 | which reach each other.] Mind reaches to itself. It does not go out. | Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. [It |
| Tx:18.56 | it. [It encompasses everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you | within it, and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. |
| Tx:18.56 | everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it | within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever. |
| Tx:18.62 | appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself | within its safe embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted for you, |
| Tx:18.69 | has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place | within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. |
| Tx:18.71 | for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves | within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you |
| Tx:18.72 | little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole, proclaiming that | within it is your kingdom, where God can enter not. |
| Tx:18.73 | Within this kingdom the ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this | |
| Tx:18.77 | sun nor ocean is the power that rests in you. Would you remain | within your tiny kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he |
| Tx:18.85 | surrounded by darkness, guarded by attack, and reinforced by hate. | Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, |
| Tx:18.98 | lifting the shadows from the world and carrying it safe and sure | within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean |
| Tx:19.37 | which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep | within both of you] will quietly extend to every aspect of your |
| Tx:19.38 | you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply | within must first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed |
| Tx:19.40 | never leaving you. If you would make it homeless, how can it abide | within the Son of God? If it would spread across the whole creation, |
| Tx:19.42 | The Holy Spirit's purpose rests in peace | within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you wholly. |
| Tx:19.64 | there already. We will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand | within the gates and not outside. How easily the gates are opened |
| Tx:19.64 | the gates and not outside. How easily the gates are opened from | within to let peace through to bless the tired world! Can it be |
| Tx:19.65 | of the end of guilt, remembering that what I signify to you, you see | within yourself? |
| Tx:19.66 | the truth, and love looks on itself. Salvation flows from deep | within the home you offered to my Father and to me. And we are there |
| Tx:19.67 | I taught by teaching freedom to each other and so releasing me. I am | within your holy relationship, yet you would imprison me behind the |
| Tx:19.75 | must regard the body as himself, without which he would die, and yet | within which is his death equally inevitable. |
| Tx:19.86 | It needs not your protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and | within it lies the end of death. |
| Tx:19.96 | your will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil is also deep | within you, unseparated from it and completely one. |
| Tx:19.107 | guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees | within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release from |
| Tx:19.110 | would lift you far beyond the veil and place the Son of God safely | within the sure protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose |
| Tx:20.13 | guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar | within him where you laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to |
| Tx:20.13 | of fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that leads us is | within us, as is our home. So will we find what we were meant to find |
| Tx:20.14 | present. Now is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is | within him. Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt |
| Tx:20.18 | do not interfere with truth. They are not afraid of it, for it is | within the truth they recognized their holiness and rejoiced at what |
| Tx:20.19 | by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow from what is sad | within and see the sadness there. |
| Tx:20.27 | no sin and it must look on others as on itself. Looking with charity | within, what can it fear without? The innocent see safety, and the |
| Tx:20.27 | fear without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God | within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And |
| Tx:20.30 | What could this be but madness? And is it this that you would see | within your savior from insanity? He is as free from this as you are, |
| Tx:20.32 | sinless give as they received. See, then, the power of sinlessness | within your brother and share with him the power of the release from |
| Tx:20.50 | kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear | within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem |
| Tx:20.54 | the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests | within it in the certainty it will endure forever. Its firm |
| Tx:20.73 | imagination. But vision sets all things right, bringing them gently | within the kindly sway of Heaven's laws. What if you recognized this |
| Tx:20.75 | They are the means by which the outside world, projected from | within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still |
| Tx:20.76 | What has no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always looks | within to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give |
| Tx:20.76 | that you give the world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw | within; or better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision |
| Tx:21.2 | And if this is its meaning, then the power to give it joy must lie | within you.] |
| Tx:21.10 | to infinity, forever shining and with no break or limit anywhere. | Within it everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it |
| Tx:21.11 | Here is the memory of what you are—a part of this, with all of it | within and joined to all as surely as all is joined in you. Accept |
| Tx:21.17 | himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is possible | within the universe as God created it, outside of which is nothing. |
| Tx:21.23 | of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to look | within and see what must be there plainly in sight and wholly |
| Tx:21.41 | but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look | within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be |
| Tx:21.42 | the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look | within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes the ego |
| Tx:21.43 | What if you looked | within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never |
| Tx:21.43 | has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to look | within and see it not. |
| Tx:21.44 | still is only partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born | within you. Not wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of |
| Tx:21.46 | would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to look | within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to shine |
| Tx:22.1 | individual perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be | within himself. And each one seems to make a different error, and one |
| Tx:22.3 | relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has looked | within and seen no lack. Accepting his completion, he would extend it |
| Tx:22.37 | one is valued because he seems to justify the other's sin. He sees | within the other what impels him to sin against his will. And thus he |
| Tx:22.49 | looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet | within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This body |
| Tx:23.7 | War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished. Conflict | within you must imply that you believe the ego has the power to be |
| Tx:23.25 | Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie | within the Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and |
| Tx:23.45 | and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it lies | within them. How could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side |
| Tx:23.46 | look down on it in safety from above and not be touched. But from | within it, you can find no safety. Not one tree left standing still |
| Tx:24.19 | Think of the loveliness that you will see | within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend. He is the |
| Tx:24.39 | and when you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin | within your brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was there. |
| Tx:24.45 | the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw | within yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you |
| Tx:24.48 | He is one with you and that this Oneness is endless, timeless, and | within your grasp because your hands are His. He is within you, yet |
| Tx:24.48 | timeless, and within your grasp because your hands are His. He is | within you, yet He walks beside you and before, leading the way that |
| Tx:24.51 | 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 share His |
| Tx:24.54 | for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor time where He is not. | Within your brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your salvation |
| Tx:24.54 | you. Your brother's body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth | within his holiness. |
| Tx:24.59 | are a separate universe with all the power to hold itself complete | within itself, with every entry shut against intrusion and every |
| Tx:24.63 | The memory of God shines not alone. What is | within your brother still contains all of creation, everything |
| Tx:24.67 | one, and 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 |
| Tx:24.71 | with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no escape | within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own eyes. |
| Tx:24.72 | do you see outside yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests | within, His Father's Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their |
| Tx:24.72 | your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, | within your brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in |
| Tx:25.1 | not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not | within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is |
| Tx:25.1 | in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a body. What is | within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that you cannot be |
| Tx:25.1 | gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you. Christ is | within a frame of holiness whose only purpose is that He may be made |
| Tx:25.2 | Yet does the Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks with him | within his holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth |
| Tx:25.2 | within his holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth | within his body. |
| Tx:25.8 | Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ abides | within your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's |
| Tx:25.10 | could never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all things | within itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all |
| Tx:25.10 | of a Oneness which unites all things within itself. And so What is | within this mind and does unite all things together must be its |
| Tx:25.15 | Its past has failed. Be glad that it is gone | within your mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for |
| Tx:25.16 | as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set | within this frame is all there is to see. The body holds it for a |
| Tx:25.16 | needs no frame, for what He has created He supports and frames | within Himself. His masterpiece He offers you to see. And would you |
| Tx:25.17 | cherishes the frame instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece | within a frame that will endure forever when yours has crumbled into |
| Tx:25.19 | Within the darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand your | |
| Tx:25.19 | His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will gladly look | within and see the holiness that must be there because of what you |
| Tx:25.26 | be established and maintained without some link that kept it still | within the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as |
| Tx:25.27 | he stay more than an instant.] For he has come with Heaven's Help | within him ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any time. |
| Tx:25.35 | the world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the world | within its peace. |
| Tx:25.46 | and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself complete | within a world where incompletion rules. |
| Tx:25.52 | a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all | within this world. And nothing that the world believes as true has |
| Tx:25.55 | who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane | within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the |
| Tx:25.58 | From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees | within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to |
| Tx:25.69 | friend. What could He be to them except a devil dressed to deceive | within an angel's cloak? And what escape has He for them except a |
| Tx:25.75 | circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience | within the world, which is but shadows of all that is really |
| Tx:25.75 | the world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening | within yourself. The understanding which you need comes not of you |
| Tx:26.2 | and what is out can never reach and join with what is locked away | within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to keep |
| Tx:26.4 | asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen | within a world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to |
| Tx:26.9 | Condemn him not by seeing him | within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special |
| Tx:26.23 | of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet | within this one lies the undoing of every illusion, not excepting |
| Tx:26.25 | in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is charity | within the world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens |
| Tx:26.29 | still. And 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 |
| Tx:26.32 | tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them | within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one and |
| Tx:26.32 | held also the Correction for that one and all of them that came | within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that |
| Tx:26.56 | and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation rise | within you to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect |
| Tx:26.56 | can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds all things | within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the |
| Tx:26.65 | circumstance it cannot answer and no problem which is not resolved | within its gracious light. |
| Tx:26.71 | be perceived in future time. No more can it be overlooked except | within the present. Future loss is not your fear. But present joining |
| Tx:26.72 | The plans you make for safety all are laid | within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given |
| Tx:26.72 | For a miracle is now. It stands already here in present grace, | within the only interval of time which sin and fear have overlooked |
| Tx:26.77 | Regard him gently. Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ | within him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that Heaven is |
| Tx:26.82 | up. There is no place in Heaven holier. And They have come to dwell | within the temple offered them, to be Their resting-place as well as |
| Tx:26.84 | a cross stands now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed | within His sight. An ancient miracle has come to bless and to replace |
| Tx:26.90 | is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light | within, and there has all unfairness been resolved and been replaced |
| Tx:27.9 | that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike | within the termination of the grave. If this were true, there would |
| Tx:27.24 | to a half. And these two halves appear to represent a split | within a self perceived as two.] |
| Tx:27.34 | concepts. Though it is but half the picture and is incomplete, | within itself it is the same. The other half of what it represents |
| Tx:27.38 | Attempt to solve no problems but | within the holy instant's surety. For there the problem will be |
| Tx:27.38 | answered, but only to restate its point of view. All questions asked | within this world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A |
| Tx:27.40 | It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning | within the world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's |
| Tx:27.40 | for itself. Just as the body's witnesses are but the senses from | within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world |
| Tx:27.40 | itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world contained | within the questions. Where answers represent the questions, they add |
| Tx:27.41 | for he does not want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only | within the holy instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And |
| Tx:27.42 | the mind is still enough to hear an answer which is not entailed | within the question asked. It offers something new and different from |
| Tx:27.43 | from them, and see what can be answered—what the question is. | Within the world the answers merely raise another question, though |
| Tx:27.47 | for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves nothing | within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from |
| Tx:27.50 | forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete | within two situations which are seen as one, for only common elements |
| Tx:27.51 | not the way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One | within you Who is right. |
| Tx:27.53 | to let you understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred | within the instant which love entered in without attack will stay |
| Tx:27.54 | This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who share in it | within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal, because their |
| Tx:27.55 | witness is the same and carries but one message: “You are here | within this body, and you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too, |
| Tx:27.56 | This body, purposeless | within itself, holds all your memories and all your hopes. You use |
| Tx:27.57 | it is not real. For nothing could contain what you believe it holds | within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what it should feel |
| Tx:27.59 | but a single sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help | within a world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle |
| Tx:27.65 | a need. The world's escape from condemnation is a need which those | within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize |
| Tx:27.67 | you should look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand | within one little space. And it is here you find the cause of your |
| Tx:27.69 | shadow, leaping up and down according to a senseless plot conceived | within the idle dreaming of the world. |
| Tx:27.83 | God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind | within a body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at |
| Tx:27.83 | brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined | within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the |
| Tx:27.83 | which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body does | within its dream. You have no power to make the body stop its evil |
| Tx:28.5 | nor appoint what it is for. Like to the body, it is purposeless | within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and |
| Tx:28.5 | made to keep the past alive, the present dead, are stored | within it, waiting your command that they be brought to you and lived |
| Tx:28.17 | must all healing come about because the mind is recognized as not | within the body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where |
| Tx:28.18 | causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind | within a body and a world of other bodies, each with separate minds, |
| Tx:28.20 | This world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed | within the world. No plans are possible and no design exists that |
| Tx:28.34 | and golden dreams of happiness as all the treasures you would keep | within the storehouse of the world. The door is open, not to thieves |
| Tx:28.34 | break it into days and months and years? And what are you who live | within the world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, |
| Tx:28.34 | except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed | within a separate and uncertain bit of clay? |
| Tx:28.44 | evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place | within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of |
| Tx:28.46 | and what is not of Him has no effects. What then would you perceive | within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there |
| Tx:28.51 | not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen | within the gap which you imagined, and let them persuade their maker |
| Tx:28.53 | and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see | within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing love. |
| Tx:28.66 | and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength lies not | within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise |
| Tx:29.5 | seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that lies not | within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now you think |
| Tx:29.21 | built to keep apart all living things who know not that they live. | Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth— |
| Tx:29.22 | And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides | within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body |
| Tx:29.24 | must be as bright as shines in him. This is the spark that shines | within the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking |
| Tx:29.26 | of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is seen | within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant form. |
| Tx:29.32 | The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep | within that nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and |
| Tx:29.32 | might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God | within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon |
| Tx:29.45 | appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's Son | within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose |
| Tx:29.46 | Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole | within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek |
| 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 the |
| Tx:29.48 | happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells | within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place. |
| Tx:29.49 | of idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete what is | within by splitting what you are between the two. You choose your |
| Tx:29.53 | the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for looking not | within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you from the |
| Tx:29.55 | to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere, for its source abides | within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this place where |
| Tx:29.60 | purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is | within, why would you seek for idols which would make of Heaven less, |
| Tx:29.63 | that who judges him will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself | within the dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But |
| Tx:29.64 | accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put out the light | within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols |
| Tx:29.68 | the holiness which never left the altar which abides forever deep | within the Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he |
| Tx:30.39 | you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will | within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could |
| Tx:30.43 | thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists | within God's Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at peace. |
| Tx:30.44 | and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same | within the interval when you forgot. |
| Tx:30.64 | of the world of fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! | Within your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect |
| Tx:30.76 | image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look | within and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on |
| Tx:31.8 | you will understand it was this call that everyone and everything | within the world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it |
| Tx:31.11 | you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this | within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it |
| Tx:31.28 | on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind | within the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which |
| Tx:31.29 | its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is sick | within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the body, |
| 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 given you |
| Tx:31.35 | point and go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all | within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson |
| Tx:31.36 | which you see the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly | within your learning grasp. |
| Tx:31.41 | worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world will lead | within, when every road was made to separate the journey from the |
| Tx:31.44 | suffering and sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good | within an evil world. |
| Tx:31.49 | be used to demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are made | within the world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and |
| Tx:31.64 | place. How is this done? It is not done at all. What could there be | within the universe which God created that must still be done? |
| Tx:31.73 | to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed | within your mind. Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes |
| Tx:31.75 | Behold your role | within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of |
| Tx:31.78 | For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence | within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it |
| Tx:31.93 | I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell | within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so |
| W1:4.3 | of learning to see the meaningless as outside you and the meaningful | within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize |
| W1:10.3 | thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than | within, and then stressed their past rather than their present |
| W1:30.3 | applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were | within the range of your sight. |
| W1:30.5 | your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking | within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to both. |
| W1:31.1 | be applied to both the world you see without and the world you see | within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which |
| W1:41.2 | it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. Deep | within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through |
| W1:41.4 | not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep | within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, |
| W1:44.2 | In order to see, you must recognize that light is | within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is the |
| W1:50.3 | illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God | within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the |
| W1:57.6 | my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep | within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my |
| W1:70.15 | My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. | Within me is the world's salvation and my own. |
| W1:73.5 | will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is | within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found |
| W1:77.3 | the world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is | within you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to |
| W1:85.5 | myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from | within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect |
| W1:91.4 | When you have felt the strength in you which makes all miracles | within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense |
| W1:95.1 | Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one | within yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. |
| W1:95.18 | the Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength | within you and His love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is |
| W1:95.18 | yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this Self | within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind which |
| W1:95.20 | do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth | within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own |
| W1:96.3 | Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved | within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not |
| W1:96.5 | mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself | within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it |
| W1:96.8 | Your Self retains its thoughts, and they remain | within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds |
| W1:96.9 | One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him | within your mind. Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who |
| W1:99.3 | be a meeting place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled | within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions |
| W1:99.5 | Holy Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him | within the Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from time in that |
| W1:100.9 | this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed! Look deep | within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals |
| W1:102.6 | Then seek this function deep | within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You |
| W1:103.6 | Allow this one correction to be placed | within your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the |
| W1:104.3 | These are the gifts which are | within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have |
| W1:104.7 | We clear a holy place | within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy |
| W1:106.3 | past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness | within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only |
| W1:109.9 | You rest | within the peace of God today and call upon your brothers from your |
| W1:109.10 | friends—bid them all enter here and rest with you. You rest | within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes |
| W1:110.4 | from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity | within your own. |
| W1:110.8 | in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him | within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the |
| W1:R3.6 | Place the ideas | within your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith |
| W1:111.2 | of holiness and truth light up my mind And let me see the innocence | within. |
| W1:113.3 | from my One Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge still remains | Within my mind, I see God's perfect plan For my salvation perfectly |
| W1:121.11 | you hold of him. Look at this picture till you see a light somewhere | within it, and then try to let this light extend until it covers him |
| W1:122.6 | answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you | within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you will receive. There |
| W1:122.9 | and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key | within our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but |
| W1:124.2 | How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness | within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors |
| W1:124.5 | restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first | within ourselves. |
| W1:124.10 | to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there | within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the |
| W1:125.1 | Your Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep | within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is |
| W1:125.4 | time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place | within the mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He |
| W1:125.6 | desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace | within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most holy |
| W1:127.5 | the truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not | within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and |
| W1:127.8 | has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth | within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion |
| W1:128.5 | its aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless | within our minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we |
| W1:130.12 | will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains | within your range of choice to take the place of everything that hell |
| W1:131.1 | where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality | within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where |
| W1:132.4 | strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of death | within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give |
| W1:132.11 | because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world | within your mind in thought. |
| W1:133.10 | the ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear | within his vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and its |
| W1:133.11 | upon the tarnished as his own—the rust a sign of deep unworthiness | within himself. He who would still preserve the ego's goals and serve |
| W1:135.27 | in you, for now you come without defense to learn the part for you | within the plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can |
| W1:136.2 | truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole | within itself. |
| W1:136.7 | parts are wrested from the whole and seen as separate and as wholes | within themselves, they become symbols standing for attack upon the |
| W1:137.8 | gentle hand is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off | within a body free to join with other minds, to be forever strong. |
| W1:137.11 | give. What is opposed to God does not exist. And who accepts it not | within his mind becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. |
| W1:138.5 | it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we seek to teach | within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to be |
| W1:151.5 | it does not believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is | within itself it sees the guilt. It is its own despair it sees in you. |
| W1:151.12 | beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, | within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and everything, His |
| W1:152.6 | the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives | within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think |
| W1:153.2 | for there is treachery without and still a greater treachery | within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to find |
| W1:153.10 | think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable | within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the truth be with |
| W1:154.1 | our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do | within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast |
| W1:158.6 | of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place | within the world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all |
| W1:159.6 | no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet | within this golden treasury of Christ. |
| W1:162.1 | to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen | within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these words |
| W1:163.2 | thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things | within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its blighting |
| W1:163.4 | as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived | within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed |
| W1:164.6 | 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 you see |
| W1:164.8 | Your trifling treasures put away and leave a clean and open space | within your mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of |
| W1:165.4 | comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies | within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God |
| W1:165.7 | certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide | within you who are host to Him. This course removes all doubts which |
| W1:167.6 | change what is its waking state. It cannot make a body nor abide | within a body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it |
| W1:167.8 | changeless with the power to extend forever changelessly but yet | within Themselves, for They are everywhere. |
| W1:167.9 | not have, a foreign state it cannot enter, or a false condition not | within its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams |
| W1:168.3 | Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved | within our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which |
| W1:169.2 | Grace is acceptance of the Love of God | within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and |
| W1:170.4 | the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy | within—an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, |
| W1:181.3 | goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern for us | within this interval of time wherein we practice changing our intent. |
| W1:181.5 | time of practicing with one intent—to look upon the sinlessness | within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks our |
| W1:182.5 | well. He will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself | within the peace that is His home, resting in silence and in peace |
| W1:182.7 | patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His gentle Voice | within you, calling you to let Him go in peace along with you to |
| W1:183.1 | for their identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even | within a world that does not know; even though you have not |
| W1:183.6 | as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along with him | within your quiet minds, you have established there an altar which |
| W1:183.11 | is given you. No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all | within it. words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when |
| W1:184.11 | One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all things | within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but for |
| W1:187.10 | give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look | within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our |
| W1:188.2 | the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look | within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of |
| W1:188.5 | The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it | within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his |
| W1:188.6 | Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light | within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of |
| W1:188.6 | you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts fly to the peace | within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the |
| W1:188.7 | on them, but they must remain with you as well, for they were born | within your mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you back to |
| W1:188.8 | we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light | within our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them, |
| W1:189.1 | a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God | within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with |
| W1:189.4 | them, the joy with which they look out from the endless wells of joy | within. What they have felt in them they look upon and see its sure |
| W1:189.5 | forget this law of seeing: you will look upon that which you feel | within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive |
| W1:189.5 | will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place | within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in |
| W1:189.5 | in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the Love of God | within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of love. |
| W1:189.9 | way. Through every opened door His love shines outward from its home | within and lightens up the world in innocence. |
| W1:191.2 | this to you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty | within you and without, no breath you draw that does not seem to |
| W1:192.1 | one with God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean | within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a |
| W1:194.8 | perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world | within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort and |

| Tx:11.67 | choose the guide for seeing, and then you look out and behold his | witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you want in |
| Tx:11.69 | only love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the | witnesses you perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting |
| Tx:11.69 | there, having sought it there. But do not then believe that the | witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to your |

| Tx:12.42 | looking always on the real world and calling forth its | witnesses and drawing them unto you. For He loves what He sees within |
| Tx:12.51 | there is no sight of what you were, you look at Christ and call His | witnesses to shine on you because you called them forth. And they |

| Tx:13.16 | whom you release from guilt, great is the joy in Heaven, where the | witnesses to your fatherhood rejoice. |

| Tx:16.16 | The One you called upon is with you. Bid Him welcome and honor His | witnesses, who bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is true, |
| Tx:16.18 | Do not interpret against God's Love, for you have many | witnesses which speak of it so clearly that only the blind and deaf |
| Tx:16.20 | have really seen and heard and recognize it. Can you be alone with | witnesses like these? |
| Tx:16.22 | believe? Yet remember how much care you have exerted in choosing its | witnesses and in avoiding those which spoke for the cause of truth |
| Tx:16.26 | this, and from far off in the universe, yet not beyond yourself, the | witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help you learn. Their |

| Tx:21.55 | part you can accept. What reason points to you can see because the | witnesses on its behalf are clear. Only the totally insane can |
| Tx:24.69 | see it for. Perception seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but | witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a wish— |
| Tx:25.73 | who seek his death and could not see his worth at all. What honest | witnesses could they call forth to speak on his behalf? And who would |

| Tx:27.52 | of your learning will be proved to you by all the many different | witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them will be seen, but |

| Tx:27.55 | You can have pleasure, too, but only at the cost of pain.” These | witnesses are joined by many more. Each one seems different because |
| Tx:27.55 | and so it seems to answer to a different sound. Except for this, the | witnesses of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. |
| Tx:27.55 | and the pain behind the pleasure will be felt no more. Sin's | witnesses but shift from name to name, as one steps forward and |
| Tx:27.55 | and another back. Yet which is foremost makes no difference. Sin's | witnesses hear but the call of death. |
| Tx:27.56 | tells you but the names you gave it to use when you call forth the | witnesses to its reality. You cannot choose among them which are |

| Tx:27.57 | sees no witnesses against the body. Neither does He harken to the | witnesses by other names which speak in other ways for its reality. |
| Tx:27.57 | not real. Its pains and pleasures does He heal alike, for all sin's | witnesses do His replace. |
| Tx:27.58 | The miracle makes no distinctions in the names by which sin's | witnesses are called. It merely proves that what they represent has |
| Tx:27.59 | by laws which it came solely to undo! The laws of sin have different | witnesses with different strengths. And they attest to different |
| Tx:27.60 | has guaranteed the strength of miracles for what they witness to. Be | witnesses unto the miracle and not the laws of sin. There is no need |
| Tx:27.67 | to. Seek not another cause nor look among the mighty legions of its | witnesses for its undoing. They support its claim on your allegiance. |
| Tx:27.67 | the truth is not where you should look to find the truth. The | witnesses to sin all stand within one little space. And it is here |
| Tx:27.89 | kept but from yourself. The universe proclaims it so. Yet to its | witnesses you pay no heed at all. For they attest the thing you do |
| Tx:28.42 | would he be free of them and of his own as well. Your dreams are | witnesses to his, and his attest the truth of yours. Yet if you see |

| W1:151.8 | unwilling now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's | witnesses before the rapture of His holy face. |
| W1:151.16 | And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing | witnesses to sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the world |
| W1:161.11 | And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept the | witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you will see will sing to |

| Tx:5.11 | The | word “know” is proper in this context because the Holy Inspiration is |

| W1:110.8 | power to save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking for the | Word that tells him he is brother unto Him. |
| W1:110.13 | Let us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the | Word of God that sets you free. This is the key that opens up the |
| W1:114.3 | God's plan for salvation. What can my function be but to accept the | Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and will forever be? |
| W1:123.4 | thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving | Word of God to us. |
| W1:123.5 | And thanks to you for listening to Him. His | Word is soundless if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are |
| W1:125.1 | of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His | Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He |
| W1:125.1 | mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His | Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, |
| W1:125.2 | is simply this: the Son of God is free to save himself, given the | Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to |
| W1:125.3 | without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy | Word. We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be |
| W1:125.3 | Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the | Word of God. |
| W1:125.4 | Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy | Word to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy |
| W1:125.5 | He has not waited until you return your mind to Him to give His | Word to you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered |
| W1:125.6 | Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His | Word cannot be heard until your mind is quiet for a while and |
| W1:125.6 | for a while and meaningless desires have been stilled. Await His | Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today to |
| W1:125.7 | listening to the world and choose instead a gentle listening to the | Word of God. He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice |
| W1:125.8 | It is your voice to which you listen as He speaks to you. It is your | Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of |
| W1:125.8 | you listen as He speaks to you. It is your Word He speaks. It is the | Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no |
| W1:125.9 | from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the | Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at |
| W1:125.10 | you have a special purpose for this day—in quiet to receive the | Word of God. |
| W1:137.16 | give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the | Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever |
| W1:140.1 | Cure is a | word that cannot be applied to any remedy the world accepts as |
| W1:R4.10 | hurry now, for you are using time for its intended purpose. Let each | word shine with the meaning God has given it as it was given to you |
| W1:R4.12 | God offers thanks to you who practice thus the keeping of His | Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day again before |
| W1:143.1 | [125] In quiet I receive God's | Word today. |
| W1:151.9 | And thus He judges you. Accept His | word of what you are, for He bears witness to your beautiful creation |
| W1:154.5 | carried, he is failing to perform his proper part as bringer of the | Word. |
| W1:154.10 | and for us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of God's | Word, the giving and receiving of His Will. |
| W1:162.2 | Here is the | Word by which the Son became His Father's happiness, His Love, and |
| W1:165.7 | ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His | Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His |
| W1:166.9 | self you thought was you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's | Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. |
| W1:168.6 | returning but the words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His | Word, His Love: |
| W1:169.4 | be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to the | Word of God to hasten the experience of truth and speed its advent |
| W1:R5.2 | to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your | Word and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a |
| W1:R5.3 | we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the | Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts |
| W1:183.7 | but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only | word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only wish we have, |
| W1:184.10 | into the sunlight and forget the darkness. Here you understand the | Word, the Name Which God has given you; the One Identity Which all |
| W1:184.13 | meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the | word. But first you must accept One Name for all reality, and realize |
| W1:188.7 | when you refuse to listen. And they urge you gently to accept His | Word for what you are instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind |
| W1:192.4 | and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the | Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there |
| W1:195.7 | last to us. An ancient door is swinging free again; a long forgotten | Word re-echoes in our memory and gathers clarity as we are willing |
| W1:198.6 | all will merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the | Word of God will come to take its place, for it will be remembered |
| W1:198.13 | the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the | Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an |
| W2:I.4 | Now do we come to Him with but His | Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to |
| W2:228.1 | 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 knows the |
| W2:228.2 | are dreams. I let them go today. And I stand ready to receive Your | Word alone for what I really am. |
| W2:WS.1 | all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God's | Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts |
| W2:WS.3 | hid is now revealed—an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His | Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it |
| W2:234.2 | the loving help we have received, for Your eternal patience, and the | Word which You have given us that we are saved. |
| W2:245.2 | we come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His | Word, Whose Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has |
| W2:245.2 | as we relate His Word, Whose Love we recognize because we share the | Word that He has given unto us. |
| W2:254.1 | silence, I would come to You to hear Your Voice and to receive Your | Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the |
| W2:256.2 | have no goal except to hear Your Voice and find the way Your sacred | Word has pointed out to us. |
| W2:276.1 | What is the | Word of God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God |

| W2:276.1 | we have come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His | Word to us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self. |
| W2:276.2 | Father, Your | Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my brothers, |
| W2:296.1 | today, 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 |
| W2:296.1 | damned it, I would set it free that I may find escape and hear the | Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today. |
| W2:WISC.1 | what is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God's | Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness |
| W2:315.1 | smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a | word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind perceives this gift and takes |
| W2:327.2 | Let me attempt therefore to try them and to judge them not. Your | word is one with You. You give the means whereby conviction comes, |
| W2:336.2 | look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your | Word remains unchanged within my mind; Your love is still abiding in |
| W2:WIM.3 | the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the | Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and creation, in the |
| W2:341.2 | Let us not then attack our sinlessness. For it contains the | Word of God to us, and in its kind reflection we are saved. |
| W2:WAI.5 | We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His | Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written |
| W2:355.1 | wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your | Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, |
| W2:357.1 | brother, then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your | Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear |
| W2:361.1 | And if I need a | word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that |

| M:4.11 | thought opposes any other thought; no act belies your word; and no | word lacks agreement with another. Such are the truly honest. At no |
| M:4.18 | meaning to the teacher of God. It is not the usual meaning of the | word; in fact, it is a meaning that must be learned and learned very |
| M:4.18 | In the clearest way possible and at the simplest of levels, the | word means the exact opposite to the teachers of God and to the world. |
| M:4.21 | established. Faithfulness is the teacher of God's trust in the | word of God to set all things right—not some but all. Generally, |
| M:4.22 | the other attributes of God's teachers. It implies acceptance of the | word of God and His definition of His Son. It is to them that |
| M:5.9 | Son in his own name. They stand for the alternative. With God's | Word in their minds they come in benediction, not to heal the sick |
| M:5.9 | is not their hands that heal. It is not their voice that speaks the | Word of God. They merely give what has been given them. Very gently |
| M:11.1 | everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be impossible. Yet the | Word of God promises other things that seem impossible, as well as |
| M:11.1 | God promises other things that seem impossible, as well as this. His | Word has promised peace. It has also promised that there is no death, |
| M:11.1 | The world you see cannot be the world God loves, and yet His | Word assures us that He loves the world. God's Word has promised us |
| M:11.1 | loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. God's | Word has promised us that peace is possible here, and what He |
| M:11.2 | of judgment. This time, ask yourself whether your judgment or the | Word of God is more likely to be true. For they say different things |
| M:11.2 | your judgment sees but death as the inevitable end of life. God's | Word assures you that He loves the world; your judgment says it is |
| M:12.5 | is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to bring the | Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes holy. |
| M:13.3 | to find. Who can escape this self-condemnation? Only through God's | Word could this be possible. For self-condemnation is a decision |
| M:13.7 | give up Heaven partially. You cannot be a little bit in hell. The | Word of God has no exceptions. It is this that makes it holy and |
| M:13.8 | it not, but learn this course and it is yours. God holds out His | Word to you, for He has need of teachers. What other way is there to |
| M:14.2 | Call God's teachers answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His | Word. The world will end when all things in it have been rightly |
| M:14.5 | Do not be arrogant and say you cannot learn His own curriculum. His | Word says otherwise. His Will be done. It cannot be otherwise. And be |

| M:21.2 | referent does occur to the mind in conjunction with the word, the | word has little or no practical meaning and thus cannot help the |
| M:21.3 | power left to him. It is enough. His words do not matter. Only the | Word of God has any meaning, because it symbolizes that which has no |
| M:21.3 | no human symbols at all. The Holy Spirit alone understands what this | Word stands for. And this, too, is enough. |
| M:21.5 | They are far wiser than your own. God's teachers have God's | Word behind their symbols. And He Himself gives to the words they use |

| M:22.1 | His Word, and what remains to make sickness possible? Accept His | Word, and every miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. |
| M:23.4 | of all the gods you pray to. It becomes the shining symbol for the | Word of God, so close to what it stands for that the little space |
| M:26.1 | Him and His Son. His awareness is in everyone's memory, and His | Word is written on everyone's heart. Yet this awareness and this |
| M:28.3 | whole reversal is accomplished. Nothing is left to contradict the | Word of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And now the truth |
| M:28.6 | about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard God's | Word and understood its meaning. He is free because he let God's |

| Tx:31.89 | all temptation to perceive yourself as weak and miserable with these | words: |
| Tx:31.93 | brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my | words. I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no place for |
| W1:11.3 | rapidly since they should not linger on anything in particular. The | words, however, should be used in an unhurried, even leisurely |
| W1:12.8 | you see in it. It is this that is meaningless in truth. Beneath your | words is written the Word of God. The truth upsets you now, but when |
| W1:12.8 | is written the Word of God. The truth upsets you now, but when your | words have been erased, you will see His. That is the ultimate |
| W1:29.7 | today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you say the | words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice you should |
| W1:41.8 | preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the | words mean. Concentrate on the holiness which they imply about you; |
| W1:62.8 | Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these | words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are true. Should |
| W1:65.10 | You need not use these exact | words, but try to get a sense of being willing to have your illusions |
| W1:66.16 | will not take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these | words slowly and think about them a little while you say them. |
| W1:R2.5 | These, however, are merely suggestions. It is not the particular | words you use that matter. |
| W1:94.3 | to feel the truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these | words: |
| W1:94.9 | be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these | words: |
| W1:95.14 | slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the | words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas: |
| W1:95.16 | this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning which the | words convey. You are One Self, united and secure in light and joy |
| W1:97.8 | Begin these happy exercises with the | words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the |
| W1:97.11 | and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak the | words He offers you today, and let Him tell your mind that they are |
| W1:97.12 | something else. The Holy Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His | words, and offer them to Him. |
| W1:98.7 | today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the | words you use in practicing today's idea the deep conviction and the |
| W1:98.7 | today's idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His | words will join with yours and make each repetition of today's idea a |
| W1:98.8 | His confidence in you will bring the light to all the | words you say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really |
| W1:98.10 | In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your | words and give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence |
| W1:98.11 | Give Him the | words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your |
| W1:98.11 | happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your | words. He will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that |
| W1:99.9 | today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for these are | words in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the |
| W1:99.16 | remember that appearances cannot withstand the truth these mighty | words contain: |
| W1:105.10 | and close your eyes a while, and let His Voice assure you that the | words you speak are true. |
| W1:105.11 | when you cannot give Him more. At least remember hourly to say the | words which call on Him to give you what He wills to give and wills |
| W1:122.12 | it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no | words to picture. Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the |
| W1:124.7 | in this awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these | words we say as well that we are saved and healed, that we can save |
| W1:124.8 | attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special | words to guide your meditation. We will trust God's Voice to speak as |
| W1:126.10 | Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the | words He speaks and recognize He speaks your words to you. |
| W1:126.10 | you will understand the words He speaks and recognize He speaks your | words to you. |
| W1:129.4 | at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where | words fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken |
| W1:129.4 | speaks to His Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no | words, for what they say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is |
| W1:R4.2 | step in the review we undertake, which can be simply stated in these | words: |
| W1:152.15 | wait for Him throughout the day and hourly invite Him with the | words with which the day began, concluding it with this same |
| W1:154.15 | The world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy | words are true. They are the message sent to us today from our |
| W1:156.8 | cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these | words: |
| W1:161.1 | disappear and offer room to love. Here is salvation in the simple | words in which we practice today's idea. Here is the answer to |
| W1:161.4 | Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these | words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they seem to |
| W1:162.1 | in learning. It will mean far more to you as you advance. These | words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the |
| W1:162.1 | more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are the | words God gave in answer to the world you made. By them it |
| W1:162.1 | seen within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these | words are spoken. For they come from God. |
| W1:162.2 | creation is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these | words will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the |
| W1:162.3 | Holy indeed is he who makes these | words his own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them |
| W1:162.3 | he gives the world what he receives each time he practices the | words of truth. |
| W1:162.4 | Today we practice simply. For the | words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves |
| W1:162.6 | with one like him in holiness? You are as God created you. These | words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come |
| W1:168.6 | because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the | words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love: |
| W1:169.5 | We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge | words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them and no part of |
| W1:169.9 | to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond and listen to | words which explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning |
| W1:169.9 | explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning can the | words convey to those who count the hours still and rise and work and |
| W1:R5.2 | be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no | words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it |
| W1:R5.11 | then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you will hear the | words I speak and give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes, |
| W1:R5.14 | And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same | words upon our lips to greet another day. No thought that we review |
| W1:R5.14 | thus when we have finished this review, we will have recognized the | words we speak are true. |
| W1:R5.15 | Yet are the | words but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of |
| W1:R5.15 | and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use the | words, and try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, |
| W1:I2.2 | goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however briefly. | Words alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting |
| W1:I2.2 | see speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that | words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you want |
| W1:I2.3 | And so we start our journey beyond | words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress still. |
| W1:182.2 | defensiveness and self-deception, would deny he understands the | words we speak? |
| W1:182.8 | stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all | words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at |
| W1:183.7 | else. Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No other | words we use except at the beginning, when we say today's idea but |
| W1:183.11 | No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all within it. | words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when God's Son |
| W1:183.12 | still relationship, in which communication far transcends all | words and yet exceeds in depth and height whatever words could |
| W1:183.12 | transcends all words and yet exceeds in depth and height whatever | words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. In our Father's Name, |
| W1:185.1 | To say these | words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If you could |
| W1:185.1 | To say these words is nothing. But to mean these | words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, |
| W1:185.2 | No one can mean these | words and not be healed. He cannot play with dreams nor think he is |
| W1:185.2 | all he wants, and that is all he will receive. Many have said these | words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to look upon the |
| W1:185.2 | The world would be completely changed should any two agree these | words express the only thing they want. |
| W1:185.5 | the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these | words who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which |
| W1:185.7 | today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the | words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These |
| W1:185.7 | words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These | words do not request another dream be given us. They do not ask for |
| W1:185.7 | one which can succeed where all the rest have failed. To mean these | words acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in |
| W1:185.8 | you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? Forget the | words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe |
| W1:186.5 | depends on you, be sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to | words, afraid to go beyond them to experience which might affront |
| W1:193.9 | These are the | words the Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, |
| W1:193.9 | all your pain, all suffering regardless of its forms. These are the | words with which temptation ends and guilt, abandoned, is revered no |
| W1:193.9 | ends and guilt, abandoned, is revered no more. These are the | words which end the dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are |
| W1:193.9 | which end the dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the | words by which salvation comes to all the world. |
| W1:193.10 | Shall we not learn to say these | words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death |
| W1:193.10 | becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these | words when we have understood their power to release all minds from |
| W1:193.10 | understood their power to release all minds from bondage? These are | words which give you power over all events which seem to have been |
| W1:193.10 | been given power over you. You see them rightly when you hold these | words in full awareness, and do not forget these words apply to |
| W1:193.10 | when you hold these words in full awareness, and do not forget these | words apply to everything you see or any brother looks upon amiss. |
| W1:193.20 | every care, and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame | words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings |
| W1:198.5 | the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His | words and substitute your own in place of His? |
| W1:198.6 | His | words will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all |
| W1:198.6 | His words will work. His | words will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy |
| W1:198.6 | His words will work. His words will save. His | words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that ever can be |
| W1:198.6 | all blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His | words are born in God, and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. |
| W1:198.6 | and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His | words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words in which |
| W1:198.6 | who hear His words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the | words in which all will merge as one at last. And as this one will |
| W1:198.9 | freedom come to make its home with you. The truth bestows these | words upon your mind that you may find the key to light and let the |
| W1:R6.6 | We will attempt to get beyond all | words and special forms of practicing for this review. For we attempt |
| W2:I.1 | Words will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do | |
| W2:I.3 | which conclude the year that we have given God. We say some simple | words of welcome and expect our Father to reveal Himself as He has |
| W2:I.4 | be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We say the | words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him |
| W2:I.10 | we need only call to God and all temptations disappear. Instead of | words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call |
| W2:I.11 | One further use for | words we still retain. From time to time, instructions on a theme of |
| W2:222.2 | Father, we have no | words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds as we come |
| W2:229.1 | I seek my own Identity and find it in these | words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no |
| W2:254.2 | Today we let no ego thoughts direct our | words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and |
| W2:275.2 | 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 me. Father, |
| W2:284.1 | elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these | words today, go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance |
| W2:296.1 | me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no | words but Yours and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for |
| W2:WAI.2 | Our use for | words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we |
| W2:WAI.2 | So what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for | words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, |
| W2:WAI.2 | to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and | words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words |
| W2:WAI.2 | and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the | words in us. |
| W2:FL.1 | Our final lessons will be left as free of | words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing |

| W2:FL.6 | Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in these | Words is all there is and all that there will be throughout all time |
| M:I.2 | what you believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by | words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others |
| M:1.3 | is his salvation.” It can be taught by actions or thoughts, in | words or soundlessly, in any language or in no language, in any place |
| M:16.10 | “God is with me. I cannot be deceived.” Perhaps he prefers other | words, or only one or none at all. Yet each temptation to accept |
| M:21.1 | Strictly speaking, | words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is |
| M:21.1 | you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the | words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are |
| M:21.1 | of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the | words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does |
| M:21.1 | sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand | words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the |

| Tx:7.97 | ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this | world is. |
| Tx:7.107 | which is joy. Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the | world and the only thing that is easy, because it is not of the world |
| Tx:7.107 | the world and the only thing that is easy, because it is not of the | world and is therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, |
| Tx:7.107 | easy, because it is not of the world and is therefore natural. The | world goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's laws. |
| Tx:7.107 | goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's laws. The | world perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is because |
| Tx:8.26 | I am come as a light into a | world that does deny itself everything. It does this simply by |
| Tx:8.26 | I have told you that I am with you always, even to the end of the | world. That is why I am the light of the world. If I am with you in |
| Tx:8.26 | even to the end of the world. That is why I am the light of the | world. If I am with you in the loneliness of the world, the |
| Tx:8.26 | am the light of the world. If I am with you in the loneliness of the | world, the loneliness is gone. You cannot maintain the illusion of |
| Tx:8.26 | if you are not alone. My purpose, then, is to overcome the | world. I do not attack it, but my light must dispel it because of |
| Tx:8.27 | to give you, and your problem in accepting it is the problem of this | world. Dispelling it is salvation, and in this sense I am the |
| Tx:8.27 | it is salvation, and in this sense I am the salvation of the | world. |
| Tx:8.28 | The | world must despise and reject me, because the world is the belief |
| Tx:8.28 | The world must despise and reject me, because the | world is the belief that love is impossible. Your reactions to me are |
| Tx:8.28 | love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the reactions of the | world to God. If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are |
| Tx:8.28 | If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the | world and accepting God. My will is His, and your will to hear me is |
| Tx:8.29 | Do you not think the | world needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to |
| Tx:8.29 | needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the | world as much as you want to receive it? For unless you do, you will |
| Tx:8.42 | I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the | world has to offer. The world can add nothing to the power and the |
| Tx:8.42 | not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to offer. The | world can add nothing to the power and the glory of God and His holy |
| Tx:8.42 | the Sons to the Father if they behold it. You cannot behold the | world and know God. Only one is true. |
| Tx:8.43 | He has saved you for yourselves. Let us glorify Him whom the | world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one created |
| Tx:8.60 | of why it is impossible, is the most depressing thing in the | world. In fact, it is ultimately why the world is depressing. The |
| Tx:8.60 | depressing thing in the world. In fact, it is ultimately why the | world is depressing. The Holy Spirit's curriculum is never |
| Tx:8.61 | In the | world, not even the body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen |
| Tx:8.68 | power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your thought in this | world, and you will open your mind to creation in God. |
| Tx:8.71 | The body exists in a | world which seems to contain two voices which are fighting for its |
| Tx:9.29 | you will understand that you are not obeying the laws of this | world, but that the laws you are obeying work. “The good is what |
| Tx:9.37 | Could you but accept one of them, you would not want anything the | world has to offer. Everything else would be totally meaningless. |
| Tx:9.37 | are incomplete without your creations. Accept your brother in this | world and accept nothing else, for in him you will find your |
| Tx:9.59 | learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the | world can take this responsibility from you. You can violate God's |
| Tx:9.69 | to remember Him and know your own reality again. Let nothing in this | world delay your remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the |
| Tx:9.70 | has been made but was rejected. The ability to accept truth in this | world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God |
| Tx:9.79 | Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this | world is the counterpart of value in Heaven. It is not my merit that |
| Tx:10.25 | for your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little | world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled |
| Tx:10.69 | The | world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for |
| Tx:10.69 | as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the | world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and |
| Tx:10.69 | everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another | world which you do not see. The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a |
| Tx:10.69 | in the interval, you were not perceiving at all. What, then, is the | world that awaits your perception when you see it? |
| Tx:10.70 | of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in this | world are the world's only reality. They are still perceptions |
| Tx:10.70 | loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The real | world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a |
| Tx:10.71 | what you have made that is true is like Him. Only this is the real | world, and perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven |
| Tx:10.72 | between yourselves and your Creator, and these beliefs are the | world as you perceive it. Truth is not absent here, but it is |
| Tx:10.73 | To believe that you can perceive the real | world is to believe that you can know yourself. You can know God |
| Tx:10.73 | You can know God because it is His Will to be known. The real | world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you |
| Tx:10.74 | necessary. But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real | world, you will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the |
| Tx:10.75 | and the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real | world will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its |
| Tx:10.75 | one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end of the | world is not its destruction, but its translation into Heaven. The |
| Tx:10.75 | but its translation into Heaven. The re-interpretation of the | world is the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible tells |
| Tx:10.82 | Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You believe in a | world that takes, because you believe that you can get by taking. And |
| Tx:10.82 | by taking. And by that perception, you have lost sight of the real | world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real world |
| Tx:10.82 | you have lost sight of the real world. You are afraid of the | world as you see it, but the real world is still yours for the |
| Tx:10.82 | real world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real | world is still yours for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for |
| Tx:10.85 | In the real | world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no |
| Tx:10.86 | you will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real | world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself |
| Tx:10.90 | When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will accept the real | world in place of the false one you have made. And then your Father |
| Tx:11.23 | is His only purpose. Do you not have greater reason for fearing the | world as you perceive it than for looking at the cause of fear and |
| Tx:11.24 | This is what I meant: If you had no investment in anything in this | world, you could teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor are |
| Tx:11.29 | to handle it by making some sort of insane “arrangement” with the | world. He always perceives this world as outside himself, for this is |
| Tx:11.29 | of insane “arrangement” with the world. He always perceives this | world as outside himself, for this is crucial to his adjustment. He |
| Tx:11.29 | is crucial to his adjustment. He does not realize that he makes this | world, for there is no world outside of him. |
| Tx:11.29 | He does not realize that he makes this world, for there is no | world outside of him. |
| Tx:11.30 | the loving thoughts of God's Son are the world's reality, the real | world must be in his mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his |
| Tx:11.30 | the split, not the reality. Everything you perceive as the outside | world is merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for |
| Tx:11.31 | You are at odds with the | world as you perceive it because you think it is antagonistic to you. |
| Tx:11.31 | rid of it and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the | world as it really is. |
| Tx:11.32 | We once said that God so loved the | world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the |
| Tx:11.32 | that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the real | world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the world of |
| Tx:11.32 | the real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the | world of death. For death is not of the real world, in which |
| Tx:11.32 | reality cannot see the world of death. For death is not of the real | world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real world in |
| Tx:11.32 | real world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real | world in exchange for the one you made out of your split mind, and |
| Tx:11.32 | separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the | world you perceive is a world of separation. |
| Tx:11.32 | from the Mind of God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a | world of separation. |
| Tx:11.33 | not will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the | world you made. It is not a world of will because it is governed by |
| Tx:11.33 | that is why you have no control over the world you made. It is not a | world of will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, |
| Tx:11.33 | by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not will. The | world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary |
| Tx:11.34 | Yet this | world is only in the mind of its maker along with his real salvation. |
| Tx:11.35 | You have defiled the altar but not the | world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you. |
| Tx:11.35 | the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the | world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you will see |
| Tx:11.35 | and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the | world truly. Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your |
| Tx:11.35 | Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the | world as you have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project |
| Tx:11.35 | you have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project the real | world to you from the altar of God. |
| Tx:11.40 | You will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this | world. And you will search for your home whether you know where it is |
| Tx:11.53 | The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole | world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot |
| Tx:11.53 | teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in the | world, for of itself it profits nothing. To invest in something |
| Tx:11.55 | You do not want the | world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look |
| Tx:11.55 | come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the | world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy |
| Tx:11.55 | thoughts outward. Make the world real unto yourself, for the real | world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you. |
| Tx:11.57 | and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you the real | world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His |
| Tx:11.57 | The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real | world, and by this he will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality |
| Tx:11.57 | with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real | world in Their Name. |
| Tx:11.58 | When you have seen this real | world, as you will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must |
| Tx:11.58 | to pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real | world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is |
| Tx:11.58 | for He has never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real | world, which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's |
| Tx:11.60 | upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His Son. The | world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the |
| Tx:11.60 | has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the real | world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it |
| Tx:11.61 | and by applying them to all situations, you will gain the real | world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the |
| Tx:11.62 | Everyone in the | world must play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize |
| Tx:11.62 | Everyone in the world must play his part in the redemption of the | world to recognize that the world has been redeemed. You cannot see |
| Tx:11.62 | play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the | world has been redeemed. You cannot see the invisible. Yet if you see |
| Tx:11.63 | that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of this | world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges |
| Tx:11.63 | not of this world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this | world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude and mass, |
| Tx:11.65 | and as you look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the | world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance |
| Tx:11.67 | will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the | world because you put it there by wanting it. |
| Tx:11.68 | other because you made them different. The mind then sees a divided | world outside itself but not within. This gives it an illusion of |
| Tx:11.68 | to believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the | world as split, you are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one |
| Tx:11.70 | of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this | world. You can decide to see it right. What you made of it is not its |
| Tx:11.72 | And you will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the | world as God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only |
| Tx:11.72 | God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real | world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so will you see. And all |
| Tx:11.76 | yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a | world that cannot die. |
| Tx:11.77 | neither the Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real | world every day and every hour and every minute, and yet you are |
| Tx:11.82 | is healed. You have made the invisible the only truth that this | world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and found |
| Tx:11.83 | Yet by 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 |
| Tx:11.84 | The real | world was given you by God in loving exchange for the world you made |
| Tx:11.84 | The real world was given you by God in loving exchange for the | world you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of Christ |
| Tx:11.86 | the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. The | world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt. |
| Tx:11.86 | delusional system of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this | world, and you will realize that this is so. For this world is the |
| Tx:11.86 | at this world, and you will realize that this is so. For this | world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws which seem to |
| Tx:11.87 | If this were the real | world, God would be cruel. For no father could subject his children |
| Tx:11.87 | salvation, and this is the ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the | world of guilt could demand this, for only the guilty could conceive |
| Tx:11.88 | This | world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you |
| Tx:11.88 | until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the | world you will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept |
| Tx:11.90 | In this strange | world which you have made, the Son of God has sinned. How could you |
| Tx:11.90 | sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him invisible, the | world of retribution rose in the black cloud of guilt which you |
| Tx:11.93 | in God's Mind. God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your | world and judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind |
| Tx:12.13 | joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the whole | world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then, |
| Tx:12.14 | in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made a | world which God would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you |
| Tx:12.14 | would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you would throw this | world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to |
| Tx:12.14 | throw this world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the | world to cover your love, and the deeper you go into the blackness of |
| Tx:12.23 | it is about you. You have been told that your function in this | world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego |
| Tx:12.30 | for now is the closest approximation of eternity which this | world offers. It is in the reality of now, without past or future, |
| Tx:12.32 | of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the | world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time |
| Tx:12.33 | are not seen and sounds which are not heard. They make up a private | world which cannot be shared. For they are meaningful only to their |
| Tx:12.33 | only to their maker, and so they have no meaning at all. In this | world their maker moves alone, for only he perceives them. |
| Tx:12.34 | Each one peoples his | world with figures from his individual past, and it is because of |
| Tx:12.35 | strange and shadowy figures that the insane relate to their insane | world. For they see only those who remind them of these images, and |
| Tx:12.35 | other because they saw in them a shadow figure in their own private | world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself first, for what |
| Tx:12.37 | You have but two emotions, yet in your private | world you react to each of them as though it were the other. For love |
| Tx:12.37 | each of them as though it were the other. For love cannot abide in a | world apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. If you see |
| Tx:12.37 | you, and believing it is love, you call it to yourself. Your private | world is filled with the figures of fear you have invited into it, |
| Tx:12.37 | offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon your | world, it must occur to you that you have withdrawn into insanity. |
| Tx:12.39 | you to learn how to deny insanity and come forth from your private | world in peace. |
| Tx:12.41 | and you cannot see in darkness. Yet in the darkness in the private | world of sleep, you see in dreams, although your eyes are closed. And |
| Tx:12.41 | for by it you accept insanity, believing you can make a private | world and rule your own perceptions. Yet for this, light must be |
| Tx:12.42 | as His from love. And He sees for you as your witness to the real | world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the |
| Tx:12.42 | He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the real | world and calling forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you. For |
| Tx:12.44 | And with this vision of the truth in them came all the beauty of the | world to shine upon them. |
| Tx:12.55 | There is a light which this | world cannot give. Yet you can give it, as it was given you. And as |
| Tx:12.55 | given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to call you from the | world and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in |
| Tx:12.55 | and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in this | world can do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This |
| Tx:12.55 | you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the | world and find another. This other world is bright with love, which |
| Tx:12.55 | do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This other | world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here will |
| Tx:12.55 | Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this | world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you, |
| Tx:12.57 | not alone. Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real | world for you when you wake. In your name He has given for you and |
| Tx:12.58 | Sit quietly and look upon the | world you see, and tell yourself, |
| Tx:12.59 | The real | world is not like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets |
| Tx:12.60 | The | world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a |
| Tx:12.61 | You do not really want the | world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began. The |
| Tx:12.61 | tired and ready to return to dust even as you made it. This aching | world has not the power to touch the living world at all. You could |
| Tx:12.61 | you made it. This aching world has not the power to touch the living | world at all. You could not give it that, and so although you turn in |
| Tx:12.61 | you cannot find in it the road that leads away from it into another | world. |
| Tx:12.62 | Yet the real | world has the power to touch you even here because you love it. And |
| Tx:12.62 | the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange | world you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give |
| Tx:12.62 | you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give this | world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness |
| Tx:12.63 | You have been wrong about the | world because you have misjudged yourself. From such a twisted |
| Tx:12.63 | and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the | world He holds out to you in love. |
| Tx:12.64 | No one in this distracted | world but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him. Yet |
| Tx:12.64 | one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other | world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he will |
| Tx:12.64 | he still lays value on his own, he will deny the vision of the other | world, maintaining that he loves what he loves not and following not |
| Tx:12.64 | the joyful journey home. You wait but for yourself. To give this sad | world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your |
| Tx:12.65 | from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The | world about him shines with love because God placed him in Himself |
| Tx:12.65 | on love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny the | world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of love around him. |
| Tx:12.65 | point of safety, he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the | world is one with him. |
| Tx:12.66 | Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real | world is the way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that |
| Tx:12.67 | In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the | world of dreams, where all perception is. Knowledge needs no |
| Tx:12.67 | offer knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real | world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore, the call of |
| Tx:12.68 | In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in eternity? In your | world you do need things because it is a world of scarcity in which |
| Tx:12.68 | need in eternity? In your world you do need things because it is a | world of scarcity in which you find yourself because you are lacking. |
| Tx:12.68 | because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a | world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because |
| Tx:12.69 | For what you think you need will merely serve to tighten up your | world against the light and render you unwilling to question the |
| Tx:12.69 | the light and render you unwilling to question the value that this | world can really hold for you. |
| Tx:12.71 | through outer worlds. However holy his perception may become, no | world outside himself holds his inheritance. Within himself he has no |
| Tx:12.74 | lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind that this | world sets before you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and |
| Tx:12.75 | is the only real need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the | world lies only here. My peace I give you. Take it of me in glad |
| Tx:12.75 | My peace I give you. 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 |
| Tx:12.75 | across the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers from the | world, and it from them. |
| Tx:13.1 | belongs to the sphere of knowledge and which therefore no one in the | world knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the world with |
| Tx:13.1 | one in the world knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the | world with this knowledge. For the mind that knows this unequivocally |
| Tx:13.5 | bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness and enabling the | world to see. For light must come into the darkened world to make |
| Tx:13.5 | and enabling the world to see. For light must come into the darkened | world to make Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give |
| Tx:13.9 | As miracles in this | world join you to your brothers, so do your creations establish your |
| Tx:13.10 | Yet in this | world, your perfection is unwitnessed. God knows it, but you do not, |
| Tx:13.13 | The | world can give you only what you gave it, for being nothing but your |
| Tx:13.17 | within you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the | world seems dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a dark veil |
| Tx:13.27 | The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark | world where pain is pressing everywhere upon him from without. When |
| Tx:13.37 | There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this | world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is. |
| Tx:13.38 | Nothing in this | world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly |
| Tx:13.38 | Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this | world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what |
| Tx:13.47 | Yes, you are blessed indeed. Yet in this | world, you do not know it. But you have the means for learning it and |
| Tx:13.49 | if it had been done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a | world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the |
| Tx:13.49 | realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the | world must therefore lead to nothing, for its goal is nothing. |
| Tx:13.50 | is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane | world, and do not underestimate the actual extent of its insanity. |
| Tx:13.51 | for the Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the | world to teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and |
| Tx:13.51 | There is nothing in the world to teach him that the logic of the | world is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made |
| Tx:13.79 | you will feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this | world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's Spirit teaches only that |
| Tx:14.2 | Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the | world to help you understand it. There is nothing on earth with which |
| Tx:14.5 | This is forever changeless. Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the | world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing |
| Tx:14.8 | joined in the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this | world. So will the world of separation slip away and full |
| Tx:14.8 | here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the | world of separation slip away and full communication be restored |
| Tx:14.31 | clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish for all the | world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your will, |
| Tx:14.42 | In this | world you can become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your |
| Tx:14.44 | that the reflection of God, shining in you, can bring to all the | world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to |
| Tx:14.44 | your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the | world. The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure |
| Tx:14.46 | lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this | world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone to truth, |
| Tx:14.47 | reality. You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the | world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is |
| Tx:14.47 | conception of limitlessness, for the world you seem to live in is a | world of limits. In this world, it is not true that anything without |
| Tx:14.47 | for the world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this | world, it is not true that anything without order of difficulty can |
| Tx:14.47 | and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the laws of another | world to this one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that |
| Tx:15.20 | and glittering brilliance, which will literally blind you to this | world by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in |
| Tx:15.22 | this in place of magnitude, and you accepted it. Everything in this | world is little because it is a world made out of littleness in the |
| Tx:15.22 | you accepted it. Everything in this world is little because it is a | world made out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness |
| Tx:15.22 | littleness can content you. When you strive for anything in this | world with the belief that it will bring you peace, you are |
| Tx:15.25 | for it does require vigilance to protect your magnitude in this | world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a world of |
| Tx:15.25 | in this world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a | world of littleness is a task the little cannot undertake. Yet it is |
| Tx:15.27 | in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every little gift the | world of littleness would offer you. But for this, you cannot side |
| Tx:15.29 | season (Christmas), which celebrates the birth of holiness into this | world, join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is our task |
| Tx:15.29 | His Son's creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond your little | world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He brings all his |
| Tx:15.31 | where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this | world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us join |
| Tx:15.37 | you to fulfill your holy part in the plan that He has given to the | world for its release from littleness. God would have His host abide |
| Tx:15.60 | Herein lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the | world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is impossible. For |
| Tx:15.61 | laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this | world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts |
| Tx:15.79 | a teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything in this | world for your release. He must side with every sign or token of your |
| Tx:15.92 | to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in this | world, the attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither time |
| Tx:15.92 | them. This is the season when you would celebrate my birth into the | world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you, |
| Tx:16.38 | and of His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak | world of illusion, where nothing is certain, and where everything |
| Tx:16.45 | it is not natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones. For this | world is the opposite of Heaven, being made to be its opposite, and |
| Tx:16.61 | investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the | world you value. |
| Tx:16.62 | On this side of the bridge, you see the | world of separate bodies seeking to join each other in separate |
| Tx:16.64 | hold on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold your | world together. This frame of reference is built around the special |
| Tx:17.8 | This loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real | world, bright and clean and new with everything sparkling under the |
| Tx:17.8 | there are no fantasies to hide the truth. The bridge between that | world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not |
| Tx:17.8 | Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this | world at all. This little step, so small it has escaped your notice, |
| Tx:17.9 | one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus. The real | world, in its loveliness, you learn to reach. Fantasies are all |
| Tx:17.10 | The stars will disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the | world to beauty will vanish. Perception will be meaningless when it |
| Tx:17.10 | made perception possible will occur. The perception of the real | world will be so short that you will barely have time to thank God |
| Tx:17.10 | God will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real | world and have been made ready for Him. |
| Tx:17.11 | The real | world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the |
| Tx:17.11 | world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the | world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of |
| Tx:17.11 | undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this | world and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In |
| Tx:17.12 | All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the | world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms |
| Tx:17.12 | forgiveness literally transforms vision and lets you see the real | world reaching quietly and gently across chaos and removing all |
| Tx:17.12 | and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection. From the forgiven | world, the Son of God is lifted easily into his home. And there he |
| Tx:17.13 | How much do you want salvation? It will give you the real | world, trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the |
| Tx:17.13 | to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust out of this | world and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness. |
| Tx:17.13 | and walk with him in trust out of this world and into the real | world of beauty and forgiveness. |
| Tx:17.25 | value more. The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real | world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or |
| Tx:17.25 | The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the | world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it |
| Tx:17.28 | In this | world it is impossible to create, yet it is possible to make happy. |
| Tx:17.29 | You have made very real relationships even in this | world which you do not recognize simply because you have raised their |
| Tx:17.43 | relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in this | world. Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a |
| Tx:17.44 | The holy relationship, a major step toward the perception of the real | world, is learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed and |
| Tx:18.4 | to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole | world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every |
| Tx:18.5 | error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a | world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it? |
| Tx:18.6 | That was the first projection of error outward. The | world arose to hide it and became the screen on which it was |
| Tx:18.6 | only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a | world in which everything is backwards and upside-down arose from |
| Tx:18.6 | in quiet and take no part in all the mad projection by which this | world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so |
| Tx:18.7 | The truth will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad | world and so depart from you. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside |
| Tx:18.9 | He has set the course inward to the truth you share. In the mad | world outside you, nothing can be shared but only substituted, and |
| Tx:18.12 | who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking together out of this | world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds |
| Tx:18.13 | You have been called together to the most holy function that this | world contains. It is the only one which has no limits and reaches |
| Tx:18.14 | Does not a | world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this |
| Tx:18.14 | a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this | world is. It is clearly not the world you saw before you slept. |
| Tx:18.14 | arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the | world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the |
| Tx:18.14 | world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the | world, planned solely around what you would have preferred. Here, you |
| Tx:18.15 | in them becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the | world and changing it to suit the ego better. They provide striking |
| Tx:18.16 | on substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the | world were given you, to make it what you will. You do not realize |
| Tx:18.17 | For the dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a | world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot out |
| Tx:18.18 | Dreams show you that you have the power to make a | world as you would have it be, and that because you want it, you see |
| Tx:18.18 | while you see it, you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a | world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside. You do not |
| Tx:18.19 | Your wish to make another | world that is not real remains with you. And what you seem to wake to |
| Tx:18.19 | you. And what you seem to wake to is but another form of this same | world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your |
| Tx:18.22 | hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make a | world that is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your |
| Tx:18.23 | In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real | world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and |
| Tx:18.23 | relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the | world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and so natural. |
| Tx:18.23 | waking dreams 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 |
| Tx:18.75 | Such is the strange position in which those in a | world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a |
| Tx:18.86 | little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the | world of bodies, made by insanity, insane messages seem to be |
| Tx:18.86 | to the mind which made it. And these messages bear witness to this | world, pronouncing it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to |
| Tx:18.88 | the body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the | world is based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts, |
| Tx:18.88 | and betrayal that were made to keep the guilt in place, so that the | world could rise from it and keep it hidden. Its shadow rises to the |
| Tx:18.91 | Yet in this cloud bank, it is easy to see a whole | world rising. A solid mountain range, a lake, a city, all rise in |
| Tx:18.91 | how much imagination you bring to it, you do not confuse it with the | world below, nor seek to make it real. |
| Tx:18.92 | nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a | world of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon |
| Tx:18.92 | of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the | world beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the |
| Tx:18.93 | This | world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world where |
| Tx:18.93 | This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real | world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the world outside is |
| Tx:18.93 | is the real world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the | world outside is seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. Here |
| Tx:18.95 | beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real | world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a |
| Tx:18.97 | Your relationship has been uprooted from the | world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely brought |
| Tx:18.97 | washed with forgiveness, and set shining and firmly rooted in the | world of light. From there, it calls to you to follow the course it |
| Tx:18.98 | Forgiveness removes only the untrue, lifting the shadows from the | world and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the |
| Tx:18.98 | and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the bright | world of new and clean perception. There is your purpose now. And it |
| Tx:19.12 | to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real | world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the |
| Tx:19.22 | It can indeed be said the ego made its | world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be upside-down. |
| Tx:19.22 | It can indeed be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a | world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion |
| Tx:19.22 | changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a | world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of complete |
| Tx:19.32 | For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the | world in which the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And |
| Tx:19.37 | from elsewhere—from your brothers and from various aspects of the | world outside. Yet peace will gently cover them, extending past |
| Tx:19.43 | of peace! For peace will send its messengers from you to all the | world. And barriers will fall away before their coming as easily as |
| Tx:19.44 | To overcome the | world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. For in |
| Tx:19.46 | in and push Him out must produce conflict. As you look upon the | world, this little wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land |
| Tx:19.47 | the belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the | world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its pointless |
| Tx:19.51 | is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. Relationships in this | world are the result of how the world is seen. And this depends on |
| Tx:19.51 | invisible. Relationships in this world are the result of how the | world is seen. And this depends on which emotion was called on to |
| Tx:19.52 | Send not these savage messengers into the | world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they will bring |
| Tx:19.53 | you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the | world as kind. |
| Tx:19.54 | you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more. The | world will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt |
| Tx:19.54 | sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The | world contains no fear which you laid not upon it. And none you |
| Tx:19.64 | gates are opened from within to let peace through to bless the tired | world! Can it be difficult for us to walk past barriers together when |
| Tx:19.65 | are guilty, so must I be. But if I surmounted guilt and overcame the | world, you were with me. Would you see in me the symbol of guilt or |
| Tx:19.66 | gratitude for giving peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the | world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will |
| Tx:19.66 | to all the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the | world will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you |
| Tx:19.67 | be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all the | world, contained in you. |
| Tx:19.85 | Under the dusty edge of its distorted | world, the ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof |
| Tx:19.90 | and the Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your | world does end. |
| Tx:19.96 | It seems to you the | world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all |
| Tx:19.96 | but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the | world forever. This is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it |
| Tx:19.110 | protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose that gives this | world and the long journey through this world whatever meaning lies |
| Tx:19.110 | only purpose that gives this world and the long journey through this | world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are |
| Tx:20.18 | question, and it was what they saw that answered them. You make the | world and then adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any |
| Tx:20.19 | yet remains and needs an answer. Do you like what you have made—a | world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid way |
| Tx:20.19 | but the fearful thoughts of those who would adjust themselves to a | world made fearful by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow |
| Tx:20.20 | Have you not wondered what the | world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The world |
| Tx:20.20 | the world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The | world you see is but a judgment on yourself. It is not there at all. |
| Tx:20.20 | lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it real. Such is the | world you see—a judgment on yourself and made by you. This sickly |
| Tx:20.20 | whose image it is and which it loves, and placed outside you in the | world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you believe this |
| Tx:20.20 | and which it loves, and placed outside you in the world. And to this | world must you adjust, as long as you believe this picture is outside |
| Tx:20.20 | you believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This | world is merciless, and were it outside you, you should indeed be |
| Tx:20.21 | Who in a holy relationship can long remain unholy? The | world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks |
| Tx:20.21 | remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as the | world the ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is |
| Tx:20.21 | with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself. The | world the holy see is beautiful because they see their innocence in |
| Tx:20.21 | watches over all perception answered. Take not the judgment of the | world as answer to the question, “What am I?” |
| Tx:20.22 | The | world believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is |
| Tx:20.24 | 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 have given |
| Tx:20.24 | answer that it gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the | world to make its answer true. You asked this puff of madness for the |
| Tx:20.28 | give it the power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this | world interpret giving—as you give, you lose. It is not up to you |
| Tx:20.28 | power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this | world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These |
| Tx:20.32 | function here is to release him and so to free himself. In the | world of separation, each is appointed separately, though they are |
| Tx:20.33 | The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another | world goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn |
| Tx:20.33 | that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new | world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can |
| Tx:20.34 | of each other serves but you two alone. For the whole new | world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to rest. And as |
| Tx:20.37 | In this | world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. |
| Tx:20.73 | within the kindly sway of Heaven's laws. What if you recognized this | world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it |
| Tx:20.74 | them, but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This | world seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with |
| Tx:20.75 | to meet the goal of madness. They are the means by which the outside | world, projected from within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to |
| Tx:20.76 | to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give the | world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or better, |
| Tx:21.1 | Projection makes perception. The | world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though |
| Tx:21.1 | man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the | world, but will to change your mind about the world. Perception is a |
| Tx:21.1 | seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind about the | world. Perception is a result, not a cause. And that is why order of |
| Tx:21.2 | is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the | world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the |
| Tx:21.2 | you made and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The | world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to |
| Tx:21.3 | Never forget the | world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really looks |
| Tx:21.4 | what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the | world must look like. It must be seen before you recognize it for |
| Tx:21.6 | The blind become accustomed to their | world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their way |
| Tx:21.6 | keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the | world they learned to “see” in their imagination, believing that |
| Tx:21.6 | believing that their choice is that or nothing. They hate the | world they learned through pain. And everything they think is in it |
| Tx:21.9 | You could remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the | world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the |
| Tx:21.9 | world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the | world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you |
| Tx:21.18 | not, then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the | world as now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes |
| Tx:21.18 | holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the | world you do not want brought to the one you do. And here the one you |
| Tx:21.18 | its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to make a | world can let it go and can accept correction if it is willing to see |
| Tx:21.19 | The | world you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This |
| Tx:21.24 | goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful | world to justify its purpose. What you desire you will see. And if |
| Tx:21.26 | It is as needful that you recognize you made the | world you see as that you recognize that you did not create yourself. |
| Tx:21.26 | 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 confusing |
| Tx:21.27 | cannot serve to justify the madness. Your brother thinks he made the | world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the |
| Tx:21.27 | 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:21.32 | is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real | world and away from all illusions where your faith was laid. This is |
| Tx:21.36 | how much their faith had limited their understanding of the | world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another point of |
| Tx:21.37 | faith you give each other can accomplish this. For He Who loves the | world is seeing it for you without one spot of sin upon it and in the |
| Tx:21.47 | strength. The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another | world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now |
| Tx:21.49 | Perception selects and makes the | world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind directs. The |
| Tx:21.50 | own control and far more powerful than you. And you will think the | world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But |
| Tx:21.60 | other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and sees a sinless | world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself apart |
| Tx:21.60 | himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful | world and look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you |
| Tx:21.73 | It has no weapons, and it has no enemy. Yes, it can overrun the | world and seek an enemy. But it can never find what is not there. |
| Tx:21.74 | is not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to perceive a | world where it is not. It is not necessary that he understand how he |
| Tx:21.75 | Do I desire a | world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where |
| Tx:21.75 | I desire a world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a | world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a world in |
| Tx:21.75 | a world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a | world in which I have no enemies and cannot sin? And do I want to see |
| Tx:21.80 | but not to why. You have control of this. And if you choose to see a | world without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to |
| Tx:21.81 | implies a state where vacillations are impossible. You can desire a | world you rule which rules you not, and change your mind. You can |
| Tx:21.81 | little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless | world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the body's eyes and change |
| Tx:21.82 | are the same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the | world of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the |
| Tx:21.82 | the world of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the | world of sin denies. And therefore those who look on sin are seeing |
| Tx:21.82 | therefore those who look on sin are seeing the denial of the real | world. Yet the last question adds the wish for constancy in your |
| Tx:21.82 | question adds the wish for constancy in your desire to see the real | world, so the desire becomes the only one you have. By answering the |
| Tx:22.2 | nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander through a | world of strangers unlike themselves, living with their bodies |
| Tx:22.2 | a common roof that shelters neither—in the same room and yet a | world apart. |
| Tx:22.6 | describe, you think is you. Reason would tell you that the | world you see through eyes which are not yours must make no sense to |
| Tx:22.6 | whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the | world. If this is not your vision, what can it show to you? The brain |
| Tx:22.7 | called upon this thing to lead you, asking it to explain to you the | world it sees, you have no reason not to listen nor to suspect that |
| Tx:22.7 | 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 why He did |
| Tx:22.8 | dependent on the self you think you made to lead you through the | world it made for you. |
| Tx:22.17 | how could joy be found in misery? All that is possible in the dark | world of misery is to select some aspects out of it, see them as |
| Tx:22.23 | time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the | world you made. |
| Tx:22.27 | has been reborn to light His home with vision that overlooks the | world. Would you not have this holy home be yours as well? No misery |
| Tx:22.32 | For here is its own stability, its heavy anchor in the shifting | world it made—the rock on which its church is built and where its |

| Tx:22.60 | On your learning depends the welfare of the | world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your |
| Tx:23.4 | There can be no attraction of guilt in innocence. Think what a happy | world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give up this world of |
| Tx:23.4 | a happy world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give up this | world of freedom for a little sigh of seeming sin nor for a tiny |

| Tx:23.6 | How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy through a | world in bitter need of the redemption that your innocence bestows |
| Tx:23.14 | nothing cannot win reality through battle. Why would you fill your | world with conflicts with yourself? Let all this madness be undone |
| Tx:23.19 | meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the laws that rule the | world you made. And yet they govern nothing and need not be broken; |
| Tx:23.28 | of the enemy, they would respond with only kindness. But in a savage | world, the kind cannot survive, so they must take or else be taken |

| Tx:24.34 | is now redemption, and salvation can only mean destruction of the | world, except yourself. |
| Tx:24.39 | you remain beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting | world which has no meaning in reality: when peace is not with you |

| Tx:24.52 | Forget not that the healing of God's Son is all the | world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it and |
| Tx:24.52 | see the healing 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 |
| Tx:24.52 | you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the | world for what is not its purpose and will not escape its laws of |

| Tx:24.62 | How bitterly does everyone tied to this | world defend the specialness he wants to be the truth! His wish is |
| Tx:25.6 | Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the | world you want to live in and the state in which you think your mind |
| Tx:25.8 | the Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really one. In this | world, this is not understood but can be taught. |
| Tx:25.12 | Perhaps you fancy to attain some peace and satisfaction in the | world as you perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not |
| Tx:25.13 | that you should cherish still some hope of satisfaction from the | world you see? In no respect at any time or place has anything but |
| Tx:25.14 | seen, that hopefulness is warranted on grounds that are not in this | world? And yet your hope that they may still be here prevents you |
| Tx:25.23 | extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a | world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you |
| Tx:25.23 | up and offer it support. This is perception's form adapted to this | world of God's more basic law that love creates itself and nothing |
| Tx:25.24 | God's laws do not obtain directly to a | world perception rules, for such a world could not have been created |
| Tx:25.24 | laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a | world could not have been created by the Mind to which perception has |
| Tx:25.24 | has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere. Not that the | world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His Son |
| Tx:25.25 | Knowledge 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 |
| Tx:25.26 | There is another Maker of the | world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that anything |
| Tx:25.26 | still His Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the | world that error made because it has another Maker Who can reconcile |
| Tx:25.26 | its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His perception of the | world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of |
| Tx:25.27 | where they could never be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the | world correct your error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps |
| Tx:25.28 | for you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the | world He made, instead of yours. |
| Tx:25.29 | that brings release from the belief there are two ways to see. This | world has much to offer to your peace and many chances to extend your |

| Tx:25.30 | The Maker of the world of gentleness has perfect power to offset the | world of violence and hate that seems to stand between you and His |

| Tx:25.43 | on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the | world to fear, and no one who is different from himself. And as he |
| Tx:25.45 | be lonely, for the lonely ones are those who see no function in the | world for them to fill, no place where they are needed, and no aim |
| Tx:25.46 | fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself complete within a | world where incompletion rules. |
| Tx:25.47 | But when it rests on all, it is complete and every function of this | world completed with it. Then is time no more. |
| Tx:25.48 | to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this | world is not your home; its laws are not imposed on you; its values |
| Tx:25.50 | 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 its changelessness |
| Tx:25.50 | that cannot change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the | world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the pain of |
| Tx:25.50 | And on its changelessness the world depends. The magic of the | world can seem to hide the pain of sin from sinners and deceive with |
| Tx:25.50 | as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The | world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will |
| Tx:25.51 | is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can the basis of a | world He did not make be firm and sure as Heaven. How could it be |
| Tx:25.52 | it more carefully. It must be so that either God is mad or is this | world a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at |
| Tx:25.52 | madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all within this | world. And nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in |
| Tx:25.52 | His makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the | world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes |
| Tx:25.52 | And if but one Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the | world gives any meaning to are false and make no sense at all. This |
| Tx:25.53 | To justify one value that the | world upholds is to deny your Father's sanity and yours. For God and |
| Tx:25.53 | not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the | world is sane in any way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is |
| Tx:25.53 | Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This | world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could create the |
| Tx:25.54 | The Holy Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the | world you see to something else—a basis not insane on which a sane |
| Tx:25.54 | a basis not insane on which a sane perception can be based, another | world perceived. And one in which nothing is contradicted that would |
| Tx:25.55 | the other as insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a | world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the |
| Tx:25.55 | look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a | world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal truth of |
| Tx:25.57 | He is not mad has God appointed One as sane as He to raise a saner | world to meet the sight of everyone who chose insanity as his |
| Tx:25.57 | choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the | world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him he is mad. |
| Tx:25.57 | way of looking at what he has seen before and recognizes as the | world in which he lives and thought he understood before. |
| Tx:25.58 | this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees within the | world offer him less and less— until he comes to understand it cost |
| Tx:25.60 | but reflects the underlying tenet God must be insane. For in this | world, it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were |
| Tx:25.65 | There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the | world knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the |
| Tx:25.65 | of justice in salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the | world, justice and vengeance are the same, for sinners see justice |
| Tx:25.68 | over them when they are told that they have never sinned. Their | world depends on sin's stability. And they perceive the “threat” of |
| Tx:25.68 | knows as justice to be more destructive to themselves and to their | world than vengeance, which they understand and love. |
| Tx:25.75 | that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience within the | world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening within |
| Tx:25.77 | prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all forms. The | world deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a version of |
| Tx:25.78 | For if you answer “yes,” it means you will forgo all values of this | world in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not one sin would you retain. |
| Tx:25.81 | a loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see. The | world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a state |
| Tx:26.1 | wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the | world, and you will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. |
| Tx:26.2 | The | world you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness. It is a picture of |
| Tx:26.4 | anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a | world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is |
| Tx:26.4 | however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in such a | world. Nor can his song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is |
| Tx:26.4 | union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the | world recede before his song and sight of him replace the body's eyes. |
| Tx:26.5 | of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the | world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your |
| Tx:26.5 | and makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this | world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a treasure house as rich |
| Tx:26.6 | been lost. Hear then the song your brother sings to you. And let the | world recede and take the rest his witness offers on behalf of peace. |
| Tx:26.8 | gentleness upon His Son and keeps him safe from all injustices the | world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could make his sins |
| Tx:26.19 | grasped. There is a borderland of thought which stands between this | world and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart |
| Tx:26.20 | This is the journey's end. We have referred to it as the “real | world.” And yet there is a contradiction here in that the words imply |
| Tx:26.21 | last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this | world. It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on |
| Tx:26.21 | decision. It is but a simple statement of a simple fact. But in this | world, there are no simple facts because what is the same and what is |
| Tx:26.21 | the worlds. In this one, choice is made impossible. In the real | world is choosing simplified. |
| Tx:26.23 | There is no basis for choice in this complex and over-complicated | world. For no one understands what is the same and seems to choose |
| Tx:26.23 | is the same and seems to choose where no choice really is. The real | world is the area of choice made real, not in the outcome but in the |
| Tx:26.25 | is this world's equivalent of Heaven's justice. It translates the | world of sin into a simple world where justice can be reflected from |
| Tx:26.25 | of Heaven's justice. It translates the world of sin into a simple | world where justice can be reflected from beyond the gate behind |
| Tx:26.25 | love could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the | world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens into |
| Tx:26.26 | Forgiveness turns the | world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower |
| Tx:26.26 | Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a | world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in light, and |
| Tx:26.27 | has left a place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the | world and reach beyond the universe to touch the heart of all |
| Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was perceived will rise a | world which will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the |
| Tx:26.31 | hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the | world. Yet since you do believe in [its reality], why should you |
| Tx:26.34 | teacher. Only in the past—an ancient past, too short to make a | world in answer to creation—did this world appear to rise. So very |
| Tx:26.34 | past, too short to make a world in answer to creation—did this | world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such a tiny interval of |
| Tx:26.41 | gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and now. The real | world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are real |
| Tx:26.43 | that lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the | world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will |
| Tx:26.43 | that was over long ago. Look gently on each other and behold the | world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a |
| Tx:26.43 | world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a | world of love. |
| Tx:26.44 | Anything in this | world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for |
| Tx:26.44 | is not nothing and through its perceived reality has entered all the | world of sick illusions. All belief in sin, in power of attack, in |
| Tx:26.46 | your only Friend in truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this | world, and only He to whom they have been given can make sure that |
| Tx:26.48 | for punishment, and its request is granted—not in truth but in the | world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son of God perceives |
| Tx:26.49 | of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to the | world of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's answer is |
| Tx:26.49 | of God, the laws of time do not affect its workings. It is in this | world, but not a part of it. For it is real and dwells where all |
| Tx:26.52 | laws of two opposing powers until God becomes impatient, splits the | world apart, and relegates attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His |
| Tx:26.53 | is the only function here and serves to bring the joy this | world denies to every aspect of God's Son where sin was thought to |
| Tx:26.54 | still conceives of other choices and has not yet reached beyond the | world of choice entirely. |
| Tx:26.56 | there; a little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this | world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will |
| Tx:26.56 | rule. In joyous answer will creation rise within you to replace the | world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is |
| Tx:26.57 | not understood apart from Him and therefore has no meaning in this | world. |
| Tx:26.59 | their source made real and meaningful. And from this error does the | world of sin and sacrifice arise. This world is an attempt to prove |
| Tx:26.59 | And from this error does the world of sin and sacrifice arise. This | world is an attempt to prove your innocence while cherishing attack. |
| Tx:26.66 | your wishes are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the | world of sin and death. For what can save each one of us can save us |
| Tx:26.79 | sun. What was a place of death has now become a living temple in a | world of light. Because of Them. It is Their Presence which has |
| Tx:26.81 | no space nor distance lingering between the light of Heaven and the | world. |
| Tx:26.83 | the light where it has entered in. Your footprints lighten up the | world, for where you walk forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on |
| Tx:26.89 | be known to you. And to this purpose, nothing can be added, for the | world is purposeless except for this. To add or take away from this |
| Tx:26.89 | away from this one goal is but to take away all purpose from the | world and from yourself. And each unfairness that the world appears |
| Tx:26.89 | from the world and from yourself. And each unfairness that the | world appears to lay upon you, you have laid on it by rendering it |
| Tx:26.90 | unfairly and who see as you have judged, you cannot calculate. The | world grows dim and threatening, and not a trace of all the happy |
| Tx:26.90 | abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile | world. The world is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought |
| Tx:26.90 | to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile world. The | world is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the |
| Tx:27.7 | will for life, but wish for death that is the motivation for this | world. Its only purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly thought or |
| Tx:27.18 | Thus does the miracle undo all things the | world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must |
| Tx:27.18 | and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the | world will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you learn |
| Tx:27.20 | of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the Holy Spirit and the | world interpret differently. The world perceives it as a statement of |
| Tx:27.20 | the “price” the Holy Spirit and the world interpret differently. The | world perceives it as a statement of the “fact” that your salvation |
| Tx:27.35 | at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness and beyond the | world of symbols and of limitations. He would merely be, and so He |
| Tx:27.38 | found. Nowhere outside a single simple question is ever asked. The | world can only ask a double question with many answers, none of which |
| Tx:27.38 | only to restate its point of view. All questions asked within this | world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A question |
| Tx:27.39 | The | world asks but one question. It is this: “Of these illusions, which |
| Tx:27.39 | joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this | world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the |
| Tx:27.40 | the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the | world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's witnesses |
| Tx:27.40 | from within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the | world contained within the questions. Where answers represent the |
| Tx:27.42 | because it answers questions truly asked. The questions of the | world but ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice |
| Tx:27.43 | Therefore, attempt to solve no problems in a | world from which the answer has been barred. But bring the problem to |
| Tx:27.43 | and see what can be answered—what the question is. Within the | world the answers merely raise another question, though they leave |
| Tx:27.46 | the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is born into this | world as witness to a state of mind which has transcended conflict |
| Tx:27.47 | Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves all the | world and leaves nothing within the world that could be feared. But |
| Tx:27.47 | Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves nothing within the | world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the |
| Tx:27.47 | world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the | world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace and |
| Tx:27.47 | have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it to die. Would not a | world so bitterly bereft be looked on as a condemnation by the one |
| Tx:27.47 | well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. A dying | world asks only that you rest an instant from attack upon yourself, |
| Tx:27.48 | that is there received is left behind on your returning to the | world. And being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you |
| Tx:27.48 | you will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying | world. And suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks |
| Tx:27.48 | the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see the | world will witness, and will witness to. |
| Tx:27.49 | Thus is your healing everything the | world requires that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has |
| Tx:27.49 | has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it will the | world remind you gently of what you have taught. No reinforcement |
| Tx:27.49 | to you who brought the sight to them by which they witnessed it. The | world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes look |
| Tx:27.50 | but they take specific forms, and these specific shapes make up the | world. And no one understands the nature of his problem. If he did, |
| Tx:27.59 | Love, too, has symbols in a | world of sin. The miracle forgives because it stands for what is past |
| Tx:27.59 | sufferings. Yet to the One Who sends forth miracles to bless the | world, a tiny stab of pain, a little worldly pleasure, and the throes |
| Tx:27.59 | sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help within a | world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle attests. It is |
| Tx:27.60 | But there is need that you be healed, because the suffering of the | world has made it deaf to its salvation and deliverance. |
| Tx:27.61 | The resurrection of the | world awaits your healing and your happiness, that you may |
| Tx:27.61 | and your happiness, that you may demonstrate the healing of the | world. The holy instant will replace all sin if you but carry its |
| Tx:27.62 | Suffering is an emphasis upon all that the | world has done to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of |
| Tx:27.64 | The “reasoning” by which the | world is made, on which it rests, by which it is maintained, is |
| Tx:27.64 | it makes no sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks as if the | world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no need to go |
| Tx:27.65 | world's escape from condemnation is a need which those within the | world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize their common |
| Tx:27.65 | each one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation of the | world will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his |
| Tx:27.65 | he does not hold has made upon himself. This is the purpose of the | world he sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by |
| Tx:27.65 | This is the purpose of the world he sees. And looked at thus, the | world provides the means by which this purpose seems to be fulfilled. |
| Tx:27.67 | The part you play in salvaging the | world from condemnation is your own escape. Forget not that the |
| Tx:27.67 | condemnation is your own escape. Forget not that the witness to the | world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a need for evil |
| Tx:27.67 | of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a need for evil in the | world. And this is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation |
| Tx:27.67 | brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the | world bears witness to. Seek not another cause nor look among the |
| Tx:27.67 | space. And it is here you find the cause of your perspective on the | world. |
| Tx:27.68 | Once you were unaware of what the cause of everything the | world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must really |
| Tx:27.69 | No one can waken from a dream the | world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone else's dream. |
| Tx:27.69 | to a senseless plot conceived within the idle dreaming of the | world. |
| Tx:27.71 | one in which the choice is split between a tiny you and an enormous | world, with different dreams about the truth in you. The gap between |
| Tx:27.71 | gap between reality and dreams lies not between the dreaming of the | world and what you dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the |
| Tx:27.71 | and what you dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the | world is but a part of your own dream you gave away and saw as if it |
| Tx:27.72 | enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of [the] brother and the | world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the space between your |
| Tx:27.73 | You are the dreamer of the | world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more |
| Tx:27.77 | The body is the central figure in the dreaming of the | world. There is no dream without it, nor does it exist without the |
| Tx:27.77 | tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the | world outside the body, lives a little while and dies, to be united |
| Tx:27.78 | The dreaming of the | world takes many forms, because the body seeks in many ways to prove |
| Tx:27.78 | which it has bought with little metal discs or paper strips the | world proclaims as valuable and good. It works to get them, doing |
| Tx:27.79 | from the time of birth to dying is the theme of every dream the | world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never change nor |
| Tx:27.81 | How willing are you to escape effects of all the dreams the | world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the |
| Tx:27.81 | whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the | world remembers his attack upon himself. No one believes there really |
| Tx:27.81 | when he knew nothing of a body and could never have conceived this | world as real. He would have seen at once that these ideas are one |
| Tx:27.83 | whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause. The | world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that |
| Tx:27.83 | what you thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty | world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of |
| Tx:27.84 | The | world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will believe that |
| Tx:27.89 | but not to listen, not to see. How differently will you perceive the | world when this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, |
| Tx:27.89 | you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive the | world your guilt, you will be free of it. Its innocence does not |
| Tx:27.90 | yourself. And it is this that has maintained you separate from the | world and kept your brother separate from you. Now need you but to |
| Tx:28.1 | but being kept in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This | world was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in |
| Tx:28.4 | is a skill that can remember now. The limitations on remembering the | world imposes on it are as vast as those you let the world impose on |
| Tx:28.4 | remembering the world imposes on it are as vast as those you let the | world impose on you. There is no link of memory to the past. If you |
| Tx:28.14 | Its effects are changelessly eternal, beyond fear, and past the | world of sin entirely. |
| Tx:28.18 | is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a body and a | world of other bodies, each with separate minds, are your |
| Tx:28.20 | only that you see you made the one you would exchange for this. This | world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within |
| Tx:28.20 | is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the | world. No plans are possible and no design exists that could be found |
| Tx:28.25 | has no effects. Now are you freed from this much of the dream; the | world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as |
| Tx:28.27 | This | world is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to |
| Tx:28.27 | have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the | world undone. |
| Tx:28.31 | The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the | world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of |
| Tx:28.34 | as all the treasures you would keep within the storehouse of the | world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving brothers |
| Tx:28.34 | silver. They have nothing left behind the open door. What is the | world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart and break |
| Tx:28.34 | into days and months and years? And what are you who live within the | world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each |
| Tx:28.35 | Be not afraid, but let your | world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between |
| Tx:28.36 | This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the | world has shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is |
| Tx:28.50 | where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here is a | world established that is sick, and this the world the body's eyes |
| Tx:28.50 | have made. Here is a world established that is sick, and this the | world the body's eyes perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the |
| Tx:28.51 | your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to look upon a | world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make no sound. |
| Tx:28.51 | senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the | world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these |
| Tx:28.53 | not understand that it is here that you are kept as prisoners in a | world perceived to be existing here. The world you see does not exist |
| Tx:28.53 | are kept as prisoners in a world perceived to be existing here. The | world you see does not exist because the place where you perceive it |
| Tx:28.61 | and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the | world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For healing will be |
| Tx:28.64 | But never you alone. This | world is but the dream that you can be alone and think without |
| Tx:28.66 | upon it, and the rain will beat against it but with no effect. The | world will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its |
| Tx:29.15 | Confusion follows on confusion here, for on confusion has this | world been based, and there is nothing else it rests upon. Its basis |
| Tx:29.21 | see someone else as not a body, one with him, without the wall the | world has built to keep apart all living things who know not that |
| Tx:29.31 | There is a place in you where this whole | world has been forgotten, where no memory of sin and of illusion |
| Tx:29.32 | of Heaven is in you, so deep within that nothing in this | world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of |
| Tx:29.34 | sword, for they have left their hold on every vain illusion of the | world. And being empty, they received instead a brother's hand in |
| Tx:29.36 | who serve the lord of death have come to worship in a separated | world, each with his tiny spear and rusted sword to keep his ancient |
| Tx:29.37 | though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in the | world of dreams remains without the hope of change and betterment, |
| Tx:29.37 | us be glad indeed that this is so and seek not the eternal in this | world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a |
| Tx:29.37 | world. Forgiving dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a | world outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams unto |
| Tx:29.42 | This | world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only |
| Tx:29.42 | it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and nothing in the | world but must be changed as well. For nothing here but is defined as |
| Tx:29.42 | here but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the | world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, |
| Tx:29.42 | a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a | world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take |
| Tx:29.48 | All idols of this | world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you and |
| Tx:29.48 | Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the | world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be like |
| Tx:29.49 | despair, you need but to decide you do not know the purpose of the | world. You give it goals it does not have, and thus do you decide |
| Tx:29.50 | my brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a | world made sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your holy minds are |
| Tx:29.50 | idol which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the | world becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation |
| Tx:29.53 | will complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a | world perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your |
| Tx:29.53 | strength to raise his head and stand apart from all the misery the | world reflects. This is the penalty for looking not within for |
| Tx:29.53 | not within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you from the | world and lets you stand apart in quiet and in peace [unlimited]. |
| Tx:29.55 | This | world of idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its |
| Tx:29.57 | place beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the | world of idols has been set by the idea this power and place and time |
| Tx:29.57 | the idea this power and place and time are given form and shape the | world where the impossible has happened. Here the deathless come to |
| Tx:29.59 | each depending on the one of whom the question has been asked. The | world believes in idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and |
| Tx:29.64 | with. Who has need of toys but children? They pretend they rule the | world and give their toys the power to move about and talk and think |
| Tx:29.65 | the thoughts are real. And so he makes of anything a toy to make his | world remain outside himself, and play that he is but a part of it. |
| Tx:29.66 | bad things 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 |
| Tx:29.66 | a world he thinks is governed by the laws he made. Yet is the real | world unaffected by the world he thinks is real. Nor have its laws |
| Tx:29.66 | by 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 |
| Tx:29.67 | The real | world still is but a dream. Except the figures have been changed. |
| Tx:30.31 | They are made by you and your advisor for yourself and for the | world as well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it will |
| Tx:30.31 | and for the world as well. The day you want you offer to the | world, for it will be what you have asked for and will reinforce the |
| Tx:30.31 | have asked for and will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the | world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What kind of day |
| Tx:30.31 | the rule of your advisor in the world. Whose kingdom is the | world for you today? What kind of day will you decide to have? |
| Tx:30.32 | but two who would have happiness this day to promise it to all the | world. It needs but two to understand that they cannot decide alone |
| Tx:30.32 | keep in mind, and you will have the day you want and give it to the | world by having it yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the |
| Tx:30.32 | world by having it yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the | world by your decision for a happy day. And as you have received, so |
| Tx:30.35 | you chose to hate instead of love. For thus was hatred born into the | world, and thus the rule of fear established there. Now hear God |
| Tx:30.36 | What cause have you for anger in a | world which merely waits your blessing to be free? If you be |
| Tx:30.37 | This | world awaits the freedom you will give when you have recognized that |
| Tx:30.37 | you have recognized that you are free. But you will not forgive the | world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it |
| Tx:30.37 | forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. For it is by your will the | world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy |
| Tx:30.37 | from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to ask the | world be saved, for by your own salvation it is healed. And no one |
| Tx:30.47 | of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the | world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the |
| Tx:30.47 | Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the | world that worships idols and that knows not God. In perfect sureness |
| Tx:30.48 | but where you are? Is your reality a thing apart from you and in a | world which your reality knows nothing of? Outside you there is no |
| Tx:30.50 | and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his | world is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood |
| Tx:30.57 | The real | world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is |
| Tx:30.57 | The real world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the | world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape |
| Tx:30.58 | and the means by which it can be gained can now be understood. The | world becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a |
| Tx:30.58 | can be fulfilled. And no one stands outside this hope because the | world has been united in belief the purpose of the world is one which |
| Tx:30.58 | hope because the world has been united in belief the purpose of the | world is one which all must share if hope be more than just a dream. |
| Tx:30.60 | this can be, for understanding this is Heaven itself. Even the real | world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is |
| Tx:30.61 | The real | world still falls short of this, for this is God's own purpose—only |
| Tx:30.61 | His, and yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled. The real | world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go |
| Tx:30.63 | When brothers join in purpose in the | world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world. |
| Tx:30.63 | in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real | world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an idol that |
| Tx:30.64 | How light and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the | world of fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! Within |
| Tx:30.65 | An ancient hate is passing from the | world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look back no longer, |
| Tx:30.65 | what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the | world! But not to sacrifice. You never wanted it. What happiness have |
| Tx:30.70 | escape from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real | world given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this |
| Tx:30.72 | This understanding is the only change that lets the real | world rise to take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise |
| Tx:30.72 | and if it had a real foundation, pardon would have none. The real | world is achieved when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite |
| Tx:30.72 | “forgive.” Unjustified forgiveness is attack. And this is all the | world can ever give. It pardons “sinners” sometimes but remains aware |
| Tx:30.73 | This is the false forgiveness which the | world employs to keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is |
| Tx:30.74 | be one mistake which had the power to undo creation and to make a | world which could replace it and destroy the Will of God. Only if |
| Tx:30.82 | Would God have left the meaning of the | world to your interpretation? If He had, it has no meaning. For it |
| Tx:30.82 | changes constantly and yet is true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the | world as with one purpose, changelessly established. And no situation |
| Tx:30.85 | perception can be stabilized and one interpretation given to the | world and all experiences here. In this shared purpose is one |
| Tx:30.86 | this—all things have but one purpose which you share with all the | world. And nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs |
| Tx:30.86 | one purpose which you share with all the world. And nothing in the | world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to everything as it |
| Tx:30.88 | It will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the | world is an uncertain place in which you walk in danger and |
| Tx:31.3 | the power of your learning skill. There is no greater power in the | world. The world was made by it and even now depends on nothing else. |
| Tx:31.3 | of your learning skill. There is no greater power in the world. The | world was made by it and even now depends on nothing else. The |
| Tx:31.4 | taking every step, however difficult, without complaint until a | world was built that suited you. And every lesson that makes up the |
| Tx:31.4 | world was built that suited you. And every lesson that makes up the | world arises from the first accomplishment of learning—an enormity |
| Tx:31.4 | Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still before its magnitude. The | world began with one strange lesson, powerful enough to render God |
| Tx:31.5 | only purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the | world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than |
| Tx:31.7 | to be learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different | world. And each world follows surely from its source. The certain |
| Tx:31.7 | are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each | world follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the |
| Tx:31.7 | The certain outcome of the lesson that God's Son is guilty is the | world you see. It is a world of terror and despair. Nor is there hope |
| Tx:31.7 | of the lesson that God's Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a | world of terror and despair. Nor is there hope of happiness in it. |
| Tx:31.7 | still. And you will learn God's Son is innocent and see another | world. |
| Tx:31.8 | The outcome of the lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a | world in which there is no fear and everything is lit with hope and |
| Tx:31.8 | understand it was this call that everyone and everything within the | world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And |
| Tx:31.8 | of each part of God's creation to the whole is heard throughout the | world this second lesson brings. |
| Tx:31.10 | behind each murderous attack and pleads that love restore the dying | world! You do not understand Who calls to you beyond each form of |
| Tx:31.11 | deeper call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the | world will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And |
| Tx:31.11 | Your answer is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the | world you look upon. |
| Tx:31.12 | what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the | world is for. We do not know. Let every image held of [anyone] be |
| Tx:31.30 | of sacrifice preserved, for here guilt rules and orders that the | world be like itself—a place where nothing can find mercy or |
| Tx:31.33 | There is a tendency to think the | world can offer consolation and escape from problems which its |
| Tx:31.34 | Real choice is no illusion. But the | world has none to offer. All its roads but lead to disappointment, |
| Tx:31.34 | choice in its alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The | world was made that problems could not be escaped. Be not deceived by |
| Tx:31.35 | them all before you really learn they are but one. The roads this | world can offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must |
| Tx:31.35 | this because they saw no way except the pathways offered by the | world. And learning they led nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this |
| Tx:31.35 | go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the | world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a |
| Tx:31.36 | found. Learn now, without despair, there is no hope of answer in the | world. But do not judge the lesson which is but begun with this. Seek |
| Tx:31.36 | which is but begun with this. Seek not another signpost in the | world which seems to point to still another road. No longer look for |
| Tx:31.37 | Who would be willing to be turned away from all the roadways of the | world unless he understood their real futility? Is it not needful |
| Tx:31.38 | The learning that the | world can offer but one choice, no matter what its form may be, is |
| Tx:31.38 | your purpose here. You did not come to learn to find a road the | world does not contain. The search for different pathways in the |
| Tx:31.38 | the world does not contain. The search for different pathways in the | world is but the search for different forms of truth. And this would |
| Tx:31.40 | is still the same illusion and the same mistake. All choices in the | world depend on this—you choose between your brother and yourself, |
| Tx:31.41 | forgot His Presence and remembered not His Love. No pathway in the | world can lead to Him, nor any worldly goal is one with His. What |
| Tx:31.41 | to Him, nor any worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the | world will lead within, when every road was made to separate the |
| Tx:31.43 | The learning of the | world is built upon a concept of the self adjusted to the world's |
| Tx:31.43 | world's reality. It fits it well. For this an image is that suits a | world of shadows and illusions. Here it walks at home, where what it |
| Tx:31.43 | The building of a concept of the self is what the learning of the | world is for. This is its purpose—that you come without a self and |
| Tx:31.43 | by the time you reach “maturity,” you have perfected it to meet the | world on equal terms, at one with its demands. |
| Tx:31.44 | the place of 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 |
| Tx:31.44 | sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good within an evil | world. |
| Tx:31.45 | This aspect can grow angry, for the | world is wicked and unable to provide the love and shelter innocence |
| Tx:31.45 | And so this face is often wet with tears at the injustices the | world accords to those who would be generous and good. This aspect |
| Tx:31.46 | tolerate attack in self-defense, for is it not a well-known fact the | world deals harshly with defenseless innocence? No one who makes a |
| Tx:31.46 | side he does not want to see. Yet it is here the learning of the | world has set its sights, for it is here the world's “reality” is set |
| Tx:31.47 | condemned because of what I am.” On this conception of the self the | world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the |
| Tx:31.47 | world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the | world are safely kept and those who walk on them will not escape. |
| Tx:31.49 | to which its maker gives a meaning of his own? Concepts maintain the | world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate the world is real. For |
| Tx:31.49 | maintain the world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate the | world is real. For all of them are made within the world, born in its |
| Tx:31.49 | demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are made within the | world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and finally |
| Tx:31.49 | its thought. They are ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the | world, which cannot make a single picture representing truth. |
| Tx:31.50 | therefore cannot picture what it is. Yet is all learning which the | world directs begun and ended with the single aim of teaching you |
| Tx:31.51 | came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have made the | world as well as you to have such prescience in the things to come. |
| Tx:31.52 | make the other? And from whom must something be kept hidden? If the | world be evil, there is still no need to hide what you are made of. |
| Tx:31.53 | one who would not think it true is you. And what would happen to the | world you know if all its underpinnings were removed? Your concept of |
| Tx:31.53 | you know if all its underpinnings were removed? Your concept of the | world depends upon this concept of the self. And both would go if |
| Tx:31.56 | concept of the self has always been the great preoccupation of the | world. And everyone believes that he must find the answer to the |
| Tx:31.57 | perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a guilty | world is but the sign your learning has been guided by the world, and |
| Tx:31.57 | a guilty world is but the sign your learning has been guided by the | world, and you behold it as you see yourself. The concept of the self |
| Tx:31.58 | time there is a shift, but be you thankful that the learning of the | world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you sure and |
| Tx:31.59 | The | world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There |
| Tx:31.59 | sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement that the | world is more afraid to hear than this: |
| Tx:31.60 | do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the | world or on myself. |
| Tx:31.62 | and think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your | world depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or |
| Tx:31.62 | to touch your eyes and bless your holy sight, that you may see the | world of flesh no more except to heal and comfort and to bless. |
| Tx:31.63 | Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the body, you behold a | world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no |
| Tx:31.64 | can see the body without help but do not understand how to behold a | world apart from it. It is your world salvation will undo and let you |
| Tx:31.64 | do not understand how to behold a world apart from it. It is your | world salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes |
| Tx:31.64 | it. It is your world salvation will undo and let you see another | world your eyes could never find. Be not concerned how this could |
| Tx:31.65 | the way to Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the | world that will replace the one you made. Your will be done! In |
| Tx:31.66 | does not fit the picture as it was perceived before will change the | world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept of the self has |
| Tx:31.66 | the concept of the self has changed. Are you invulnerable? Then the | world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the world |
| Tx:31.66 | the world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the | world forgiving, for you have forgiven it its trespasses and so it |
| Tx:31.66 | on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a body? So is all the | world perceived as treacherous and out to kill. |
| Tx:31.67 | the promise of corruption and the stain of sin upon you? So the | world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place to |
| Tx:31.70 | And this will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the | world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you |
| Tx:31.70 | the Aid that God has given you. And in His sight there is another | world. |
| Tx:31.71 | You live in that | world just as much as this. For both are concepts of yourself which |
| Tx:31.73 | you not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the | world instead of as salvation's enemy? |
| Tx:31.82 | Let not the world's light, given unto you, be hidden from the | world. It needs the light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair |
| Tx:31.84 | once again if you would take your place among the saviors of the | world, or would remain in hell and hold your brothers there. |
| Tx:31.88 | His majesty and disappears before His holy sight. The saviors of the | world who see like Him are merely those who chose His strength |
| Tx:31.88 | of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem the | world, for they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And |
| Tx:31.93 | of God and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the | world uncertain, lonely, and in constant fear. For it is given you to |
| Tx:31.93 | nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell within a | world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so inclusive it is |
| Tx:31.93 | there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I bring a vision of a different | world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow |
| Tx:31.94 | Let us be glad that we can walk the | world and find so many chances to perceive another situation where |
| Tx:31.95 | And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo through the | world with every choice they make. For we are one in purpose, and the |
| Tx:31.96 | from tiny scattered threads of melody to one inclusive chorus from a | world redeemed from hell and giving thanks to You. |

| W1:12.4 | I think I see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile | world, a sad world, a wicked world, a crazy world; |
| W1:12.4 | I see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad | world, a wicked world, a crazy world; |
| W1:12.4 | world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked | world, a crazy world; |
| W1:12.4 | world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked world, a crazy | world; |
| W1:12.5 | occur to you, include them. For example, you might think of a “good | world,” or a “satisfying world.” If such terms occur to you, use them |
| W1:12.5 | For example, you might think of a “good world,” or a “satisfying | world.” If such terms occur to you, use them along with the rest. You |
| W1:12.7 | But I am upset because I see a meaningless | world. |
| W1:12.8 | meaningless is neither good nor bad. Why, then, should a meaningless | world upset you? If you could accept the world as meaningless and let |
| W1:12.8 | then, should a meaningless world upset you? If you could accept the | world as meaningless and let the truth be written upon it for you, it |
| W1:13.1 | is more specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless | world is impossible. Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does |
| W1:13.3 | fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the | world with attributes which it does not possess and crowd it with |
| W1:13.5 | I am looking at a meaningless | world. |
| W1:13.7 | A meaningless | world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God. |
| W1:14.1 | The idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless | world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And |
| W1:14.1 | exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The | world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own |
| W1:14.3 | in learning to let go the thoughts which you have written on the | world, and see the Word of God in their place. The early steps in |
| W1:14.4 | With eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the | world that cross your mind. Name each one as it occurs to you, and |
| W1:14.7 | of horrors at which you are looking. These things are part of the | world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and others are part |
| W1:14.8 | God did not create a meaningless | world. |
| W1:14.10 | God did not create a meaningless | world. He did not create [specify the situation which is disturbing |
| W1:16.2 | of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a whole | world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have contributes |
| W1:17.1 | that 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 |
| W1:20.1 | importance of the reversal of your thinking. The salvation of the | world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as |
| W1:20.3 | a sign that our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the | world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be saved if you are |
| W1:20.3 | Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the | world be saved if you are not? God has one Son, and he is the |
| W1:20.5 | see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the | world. |
| W1:22.1 | the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the | world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he sees vengeance |
| W1:22.1 | in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the | world, he sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is |
| W1:22.1 | attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people his entire | world. What peace of mind is possible to him then? |
| W1:22.3 | Look at the | world about you at least five times today, for at least a minute each |
| W1:22.6 | Is this the | world I really want to see? |
| W1:23.1 | way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the | world you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work if |
| W1:23.1 | your thoughts, then, that we must work if your perception of the | world is to be changed. |
| W1:23.2 | If the cause of the | world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these |
| W1:23.2 | thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the | world. There is no point in trying to change the world. It is |
| W1:23.2 | in lamenting the world. There is no point in trying to change the | world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But |
| W1:23.2 | But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the | world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects will change |
| W1:23.3 | The | world you see is a vengeful world, and everything in it is a symbol |
| W1:23.3 | The world you see is a vengeful | world, and everything in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your |
| W1:23.4 | You see the | world which you have made, but you do not see yourself as the |
| W1:23.4 | do not see yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be saved from the | world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what salvation |
| W1:23.4 | from its cause. This is what salvation means, for where is the | world you see when its cause is gone? Vision already holds a |
| W1:23.5 | for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the | world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change |
| W1:23.7 | I can escape from the | world by giving up attack thoughts about _____. |
| W1:23.9 | periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the cause of the | world you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and |
| W1:25.2 | You perceive the | world and everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These |
| W1:25.2 | this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the | world instead of attempting to reinforce them. |
| W1:29.3 | range. When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the | world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not |
| W1:30.1 | for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the | world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it |
| W1:30.2 | not like by seeing it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the | world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there. |
| W1:31.1 | of release. Again, the idea should be applied to both the | world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the |
| W1:31.1 | the idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the | world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of |
| W1:31.2 | times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner | world. You will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause |
| W1:31.3 | As you survey your inner | world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your |
| W1:31.4 | of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the | world. |
| W1:32.1 | develop the theme of cause and effect. You are not the victim of the | world you see because you invented it. You can give it up as easily |
| W1:32.2 | periods for today will again include two phases, one involving the | world you see outside you and the other the world you see in your |
| W1:32.2 | one involving the world you see outside you and the other the | world you see in your mind. In today's exercises, try to introduce |
| W1:32.3 | the idea for today two or three times while looking around at the | world you see as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look |
| W1:32.3 | as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner | world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea |
| W1:32.5 | repeating the idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer | world. It does not matter which you choose. |
| W1:33.1 | is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the | world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full five minutes should |
| W1:33.2 | an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the | world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and |
| W1:34.1 | It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the | world arises. |
| W1:34.2 | applications should be done with your eyes closed. It is your inner | world to which the applications of today's idea should be made. |
| W1:35.1 | will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this | world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in |
| W1:35.1 | to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this | world is because he does not believe it. |
| 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 see the world through |
| 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 | is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the | world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from |
| 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 |
| 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 by telling |
| W1:37.8 | may open your eyes again and apply the idea for today to your outer | world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the idea |
| W1:38.1 | Your holiness reverses all the laws of the | world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance, and |
| W1:39.3 | We have already said that your holiness is the salvation of the | world. What about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not |
| W1:39.3 | recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the | world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world |
| W1:39.3 | the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own | world, the whole world stands to benefit. |
| W1:39.3 | the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole | world stands to benefit. |
| W1:39.4 | and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the | world and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be |
| W1:41.1 | invented many “cures” for what they believe to be the “ills of the | world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality |
| W1:41.2 | that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the whole | world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it |
| W1:41.5 | to get 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 |
| W1:41.6 | helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the | world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to |
| W1:41.6 | and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the | world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying |
| W1:41.7 | 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 in the world. |
| W1:41.7 | in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the | world. The way will open if you believe that it is possible. This |
| W1:43.9 | I see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the | world as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own |
| W1:43.9 | see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The | world can show me myself. I see my own thoughts, which are like God's. |
| W1:44.4 | exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one in the | world for the trained mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural |
| W1:44.10 | formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this | world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the world |
| W1:44.10 | of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the | world unless you give them the power to do so. |
| W1:45.4 | attempt to leave 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 |
| W1:45.4 | 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 of the world tell |
| W1:45.4 | of 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. |
| W1:46.1 | forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this | world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who |
| W1:46.1 | is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a | world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves |
| W1:49.1 | it or not. It is the other part of your mind that functions in the | world and obeys the world's laws. It is this part which is constantly |
| W1:49.4 | the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane | world. You do not live there. We are trying to reach your real home. |
| W1:49.5 | the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the | world and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to speak to you. |
| W1:50.1 | that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this | world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your |
| W1:50.2 | trial and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this | world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport |
| W1:52.3 | [7] I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the | world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against |
| W1:53.2 | [11] My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless | world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, |
| W1:53.2 | Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the | world which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this |
| W1:53.2 | which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this | world is insane, and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane, |
| W1:53.2 | real thoughts as well as 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 |
| W1:53.3 | a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a | world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world |
| W1:53.3 | a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a | world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I |
| W1:53.3 | thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a | world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I need not |
| W1:53.3 | I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this | world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I choose |
| W1:53.4 | [13] A meaningless | world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it is |
| W1:53.4 | is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a | world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, and have |
| W1:53.4 | in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the | world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist. |
| W1:53.5 | [14] God did not create a meaningless | world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He |
| W1:53.5 | [14] God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless | world exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all |
| W1:53.6 | which tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a | world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I |
| W1:54.2 | because all thoughts have power. They will either make a false | world or lead me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without |
| W1:54.2 | me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without effects. As the | world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world |
| W1:54.2 | As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real | world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My |
| W1:54.3 | I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the | world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. I know |
| W1:54.3 | I know that my state of mind can change. And so I also know the | world I see can change as well. |
| W1:54.4 | of my seeing. If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private | world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it |
| W1:54.4 | of separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of the | world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also |
| W1:54.4 | so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the | world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as |
| W1:54.6 | I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the | world has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been |
| W1:54.6 | weeping, and abundance 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. |
| W1:55.3 | [22] What I see is a form of vengeance. The | world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a |
| W1:55.3 | picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the | world and give me the peace God intended me to have. |
| W1:55.4 | [23] I can escape from the | world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and |
| W1:55.4 | and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a | world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my |
| W1:55.4 | As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a | world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in |
| W1:55.5 | I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the | world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me |
| W1:55.6 | to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the | world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The |
| W1:55.6 | I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the | world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to |
| W1:56.2 | me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a | world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment |
| W1:56.2 | I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the | world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real |
| W1:56.3 | what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The | world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have |
| W1:56.3 | will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the | world and upon myself with charity and love. |
| W1:56.4 | [28] Above all else I want to see differently. The | world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its |
| W1:56.4 | self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the | world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let |
| W1:56.4 | truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this | world be opened for me that I may look past it to the world that |
| W1:56.4 | behind this world be opened for me that I may look past it to the | world that reflects the Love of God. |
| W1:57.2 | [31] I am not the victim of the | world I see. How can I be the victim of a world that can be |
| W1:57.2 | I am not the victim of the world I see. How can I be the victim of a | world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are |
| W1:57.2 | open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this | world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up my |
| W1:57.3 | [32] I have invented the | world I see. I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need |
| W1:57.4 | [33] There is another way of looking at the | world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to |
| W1:57.4 | is another way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the | world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of |
| W1:57.4 | 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, that the world is |
| W1:57.4 | see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the | world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon |
| W1:57.4 | is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the | world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his |
| W1:57.5 | [34] I could see peace instead of this. When I see the | world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws |
| W1:57.6 | mind is part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the | world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes |
| W1:57.6 | to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The | world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines |
| W1:58.2 | everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real | world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can |
| W1:58.2 | truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the | world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about |
| W1:58.3 | [37] My holiness blesses the | world. The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. |
| W1:58.3 | my holiness. As I recognize my holiness, so does the holiness of the | world shine forth for everyone to see. |
| W1:58.5 | my salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the | world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. |
| W1:58.5 | share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to the | world. |
| W1:59.5 | God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy | world it will show me. |
| W1:60.4 | [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the | world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything |
| W1:60.4 | in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a | world which I have forgiven and which has forgiven me? |
| W1:60.6 | am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His love lights up the | world for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son |
| W1:60.6 | His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the | world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son. |
| W1:61.1 | Who is the light of the | world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the |
| W1:61.2 | It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the light of the | world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only |
| W1:61.6 | I am the light of the | world. That is my only function. That is why I am here. |
| W1:61.10 | You are the light of the | world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you. |
| W1:62.1 | It is your forgiveness that will bring the | world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you |
| W1:62.1 | see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the | world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return |
| W1:62.2 | Illusions about yourself and the | world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. |
| W1:62.6 | Forgiveness is my function as the light of the | world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy. |
| W1:63.2 | You are indeed the light of the | world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his |
| W1:63.4 | The light of the | world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the |
| W1:63.4 | I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the | world. |
| W1:64.1 | of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of the | world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness and provide |
| W1:64.2 | therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the | world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think |
| W1:64.3 | our last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the | world, a function given you by God. It is only the arrogance of the |
| W1:64.9 | remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the | world. |
| W1:64.12 | This is the | world it is my function to save. |
| W1:65.1 | in which you can take your rightful place among the saviors of the | world. This is the only way in which you can say and mean, “My only |
| W1:67.1 | statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the | world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is |
| W1:68.9 | as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a | world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return. |
| W1:69.1 | conceal. Because your grievances are hiding the light of the | world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as |
| W1:69.1 | you when you were in hell. He is your brother in the light of the | world which saves you both. |
| W1:69.2 | are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the | world. We are trying to see past the veil of darkness that keeps it |
| W1:69.6 | the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the | world, try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how |
| W1:69.9 | remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the | world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not |
| W1:69.10 | My grievances hide the light of the | world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be |
| W1:69.10 | let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the salvation of the | world. |
| W1:69.12 | If I hold this grievance, the light of the | world will be hidden from me, |
| W1:70.14 | charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the | world. Say, then: |
| W1:72.8 | This is the universal belief of the | world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and humiliate it. |
| W1:73.1 | at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a | world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they |
| W1:73.2 | Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the | world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego's |
| W1:73.3 | and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a | world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his |
| W1:73.3 | His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a | world that kills Himself? |
| W1:73.4 | Today we will try once more to reach the | world that is in accordance with your will. The light is in it |
| W1:73.5 | Yet the light which shines upon this | world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will look |
| W1:73.5 | so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture of the | world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor |
| W1:73.5 | without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened | world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets |
| W1:73.5 | lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a | world of light. |
| W1:75.2 | of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a new | world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing. |
| W1:75.2 | has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a different | world because the light has come. |
| W1:75.3 | No shadows from the past remain to darken our sight and hide the | world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as |
| W1:75.3 | hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new | world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We |
| W1:75.4 | Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the | world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see, |
| W1:75.4 | this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real | world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given |
| 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 |
| W1:75.5 | see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the | world. Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself the glad |
| W1:75.6 | The light has come. I have forgiven the | world. |
| W1:75.7 | and 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. |
| W1:75.8 | The light has come. I have forgiven the | world. |
| W1:75.9 | forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the | world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you |
| W1:75.9 | for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the | world. |
| W1:75.10 | trust in Him. Tell yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the | world He promised you. From this time forth you will see differently. |
| W1:75.10 | will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the | world that has been promised you since time began, and in which is |
| W1:75.12 | The light has come. I have forgiven the | world. |
| W1:75.15 | we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real | world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was |
| W1:75.15 | the sight of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven | world you thought was real. |
| W1:76.11 | this, and realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the | world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you |
| W1:77.3 | they belong to you. You have been promised full release from the | world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is |
| W1:77.4 | the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this | world. They merely follow from the laws of God. |
| W1:77.5 | your request is granted. You have asked for the salvation of the | world and for your own. You have requested that you be given the |
| W1:78.4 | him; we will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the | world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from fear. |
| W1:78.11 | the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The | world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought of God but |
| W1:78.11 | not one thought of God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the | world with you. |
| W1:79.1 | recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the | world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, |
| W1:79.2 | Everyone in this | world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the |
| W1:79.4 | is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. The | world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each |
| W1:79.5 | No one could solve all the problems the | world appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in such |
| W1:81.2 | [61] I am the light of the | world. How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up |
| W1:81.2 | How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the | world! Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm light, let all |
| W1:81.4 | Let me not obscure the light of the | world in me. Let the light of the world shine through this |
| W1:81.4 | Let me not obscure the light of the world in me. Let the light of the | world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before |
| 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 |
| W1:82.2 | [63] The light of the | world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My |
| W1:82.2 | forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the | world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by |
| W1:82.2 | forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the | world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is |
| W1:82.2 | light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the | world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the |
| W1:82.2 | the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the | world that it may be healed along with me. |
| W1:82.4 | peace extend from my mind to yours, [name]. I share the light of the | world with you, [name]. Through my forgiveness I can see this as it |
| W1:85.2 | [69] My grievances hide the light of the | world in me. My grievances show me what is not there and hide from me |
| W1:85.4 | Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the | world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to |
| W1:92.7 | in love. It sees all others different from itself and nothing in the | world that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not love. |
| W1:94.1 | and entirely undone. You are as God created you. The sounds of this | world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the |
| W1:94.1 | created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this | world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are |
| W1:94.1 | the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this | world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is |
| W1:94.5 | This is the Self which never left its home in God to walk the | world uncertainly. This is the Self which knows no fear nor could |
| W1:95.17 | healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the | world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the |
| W1:95.17 | 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 harmony |
| W1:95.19 | We need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the | world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. |
| W1:95.20 | you are One Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the | world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to |
| W1:96.14 | real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a | world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your |
| W1:97.6 | of each hour from your hands and carry them around this aching | world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one |
| W1:97.8 | the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the | world through Him: |
| W1:97.9 | safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the | world. |
| W1:98.6 | you your full release from pain of every kind and joy the | world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for |
| W1:98.10 | with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the | world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad |
| W1:98.10 | to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the | world today. |
| W1:99.9 | are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the | world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted |
| W1:100.3 | Without your joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the | world cannot be saved. While you are sad, the light which God Himself |
| W1:100.3 | sad, the light which God Himself appointed as the means to save the | world is dim and lusterless. And no one laughs, because all laughter |
| W1:100.5 | what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to show the | world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you do not |
| W1:100.6 | function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all the | world is thus deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be |
| W1:100.6 | deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be happy so the | world can see how much He loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to |
| W1:100.9 | Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the | world God's Will for us. It is your function that you find it here |
| W1:100.11 | yourself you are essential to God's plan for the salvation of the | world. |
| W1:104.6 | Then lay aside the conflicts of the | world that offer other gifts and other goals made of illusions, |
| W1:104.6 | made of illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a | world of dreams. All this we lay aside and seek instead that which is |
| W1:105.1 | increase as we receive them. They are not like to the gifts the | world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the |
| W1:105.3 | strange distortion of what giving means pervades all levels of the | world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give and |
| W1:106.3 | Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the | world; walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. |
| W1:106.7 | today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the | world through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you |
| W1:106.10 | will begin 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 |
| W1:106.10 | free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the | world becomes ready to understand and to receive. |
| W1:106.12 | is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the | world what giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not |
| W1:107.5 | all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the | world presents engender. They will merely blow away when truth |
| W1:107.13 | you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar | world reluctantly. |
| W1:107.14 | And yet you will be glad to look again upon this | world. For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which |
| W1:107.14 | of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the | world. They will increase with every gift you give of five small |
| W1:107.14 | you give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the | world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind. |
| W1:107.15 | “Truth will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the | world and Him Who would release the world as He would set you free. |
| W1:107.15 | my mind,” you speak for all the world and Him Who would release the | world as He would set you free. |
| W1:109.2 | and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the | world and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a |
| W1:109.4 | This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the | world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains completely |
| W1:109.7 | wings begins to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow again. The | world is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you |
| W1:109.7 | and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the | world that it might take its rest along with you. |
| W1:109.8 | With each five minutes that you rest today the | world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the only thing |
| W1:109.10 | Open the temple doors, and let them come from far across the | world, and near as well—your distant brothers and your closest |
| W1:110.1 | to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the | world if you believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you |
| W1:110.2 | accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the | world to learn escape from time and every change that time appears to |
| W1:110.3 | no thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the | world and free it from the past. |
| W1:110.5 | miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the | world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that |
| W1:110.8 | within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the | world—the savior who has been forever saved, with power to save |
| W1:115.2 | is my only function here. My function here is to forgive the | world for all the errors I have made. For thus am I released from |
| W1:115.2 | errors I have made. For thus am I released from them with all the | world. |
| W1:115.3 | I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the | world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the world. |
| W1:115.3 | of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the | world. |
| W1:121.1 | the answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a | world which seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in |
| W1:121.2 | it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the | world. The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and |
| W1:121.4 | unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the | world with sightless eyes and shrieks as it beholds its own |
| W1:121.5 | offer anything but more despair. Yet it regards its judgment of the | world as irreversible and does not see it has condemned itself to |
| W1:122.1 | of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the | world? Do you want care and safety and the warmth of sure protection |
| W1:122.3 | face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the | world. It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of |
| W1:122.6 | and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the | world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the |
| W1:122.7 | again. Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the | world. The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has |
| W1:122.7 | Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The | world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has received |
| W1:122.8 | Open your eyes today, and look upon a happy | world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it |
| W1:122.12 | Before the light you will receive today the | world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world |
| W1:122.12 | the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another | world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into |
| W1:122.13 | your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a | world of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your gifts in |
| W1:123.5 | the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the | world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may |
| W1:123.5 | who brings His Voice with you and let it echo round and round the | world. |
| W1:123.6 | you, and so they grow in power and in strength until they fill the | world with gladness and with gratitude. |
| W1:123.7 | to you in terms of years for every second, power to save the | world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him. |
| W1:123.8 | thanks for everything He gave His Son that he might rise above the | world remembering his Father and his Self. |
| W1:124.2 | point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the | world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize |
| W1:124.7 | Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the | world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the |
| W1:124.7 | world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the | world is freed; as we deny our separation from our Father, it is |
| W1:125.1 | Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the | world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which |
| W1:125.1 | until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the | world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace. |
| W1:125.2 | This | world will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's |
| W1:125.3 | cannot be judged. We stand apart from all the judgments which the | world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will |
| W1:125.3 | the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the | world, but wait in silence for the Word of God. |
| W1:125.4 | His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread across the | world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather |
| W1:125.7 | for silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the | world and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He |
| W1:125.9 | this to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the | world and free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and |
| W1:126.1 | Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the | world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course will |
| W1:126.8 | in the idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the | world. |
| W1:126.10 | In silence close your eyes upon the | world which does not understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the |
| W1:127.5 | No laws the | world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world |
| W1:127.5 | No laws the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the | world believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark |
| W1:127.5 | and to keep it dark and secret. There is not one principle the | world upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what you |
| W1:127.5 | truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the | world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death. |
| W1:127.7 | every law in which you now believe. Open your mind and rest. The | world that seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by anyone who |
| W1:127.10 | The | world in infancy is newly born. And we will watch it grow in strength |
| W1:127.10 | to shed 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 |
| W1:128.1 | The | world you see has nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that |
| W1:128.1 | No one but must accept this thought as true, if he would leave this | world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and little ways. |
| W1:128.2 | Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the | world, and it will serve no other end but this. For everything must |
| W1:128.2 | a different purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this | world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to perceive |
| W1:128.2 | perceive some hope where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The | world you see has nothing that you want. |
| W1:128.4 | your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the | world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to |
| W1:128.5 | we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to the | world. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its |
| W1:128.5 | Thus do we lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the | world and go beyond all little values and diminished goals. |
| W1:128.6 | Peace and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the | world when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the |
| W1:128.7 | much as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the | world will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape |
| W1:128.7 | by just a little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The | world is not where it belongs. And you belong where it would be and |
| W1:128.7 | it would be and where it goes to rest when you release it from the | world. Your Guide is sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and rest. |
| W1:128.8 | when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the | world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind and tell yourself with |
| W1:128.9 | This will not tempt me to delay myself. The | world I see has nothing that I want. |
| W1:129.1 | the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the idea the | world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else |
| W1:129.1 | you will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the | world but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled |
| W1:129.1 | filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this | world can offer that to you? |
| W1:129.2 | be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this | world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all |
| W1:129.2 | there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. The | world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with |
| W1:129.2 | for a while. No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the | world of time, where all things end. |
| W1:129.3 | Is it a loss to find a | world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures forever, |
| W1:129.5 | How far away from this are you who stay bound to this | world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world |
| W1:129.5 | to this world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the | world you want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an |
| W1:129.5 | Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the | world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its place |
| W1:129.5 | never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the | world that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from |
| W1:129.5 | to take its place as you unbind your mind from little things the | world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they |
| W1:129.6 | What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This | world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this | world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world instead of |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this world there is a | world I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that | world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want. |
| W1:129.9 | Then close your eyes upon the | world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are |
| W1:129.9 | and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this | world light one by one until where one begins, another ends, losing |
| W1:129.10 | bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the | world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet |
| W1:129.12 | The | world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a |
| W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this | world there is a world I want. |
| W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a | world I want. |
| W1:130.1 | to see, believing what you see is really there. No one can see a | world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look |
| W1:130.2 | what he does not want to have reality? And who can choose to see a | world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind, for this its |
| W1:130.3 | What, then, can fear project upon the | world? What can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed |
| W1:130.4 | and the multitude of differences you believe make up the | world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet love |
| W1:130.6 | Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The | world you see is proof you have already made a choice as |
| W1:130.8 | Begin your searching for the other | world by asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it |
| W1:130.8 | five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this | world. You wait for God to help you as you say: |
| W1:130.9 | Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this | world that I may find my freedom and deliverance. |
| W1:131.4 | you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. But the | world cannot dictate the goal for which you search unless you give it |
| W1:131.4 | Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies beyond the | world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an |
| W1:131.8 | Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange | world you made and all its ways—its shifting patterns and uncertain |
| W1:131.11 | three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real | world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true |
| W1:131.13 | I ask to see a different | world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The |
| W1:131.13 | world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The | world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to think are |
| W1:131.14 | your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless | world you think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are |
| W1:131.14 | real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a | world and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below |
| W1:131.16 | of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the | world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and |
| W1:131.17 | find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the | world, which ends together as you pass beyond the door. |
| W1:131.18 | is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the | world. If you forget this happy fact, remind yourself with this: |
| W1:132.1 | What keeps the | world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except |
| W1:132.1 | keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the | world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you |
| W1:132.1 | 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 swayed by |
| W1:132.3 | The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is the | world set free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the |
| W1:132.3 | future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the | world. |
| W1:132.4 | You have enslaved the | world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, your pain and |
| W1:132.4 | because you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind. The | world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what |
| W1:132.5 | Perhaps you think you did not make the | world but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting |
| W1:132.5 | you found exactly what you looked for when you came. There is no | world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate |
| W1:132.5 | release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the | world must change accordingly. |
| W1:132.6 | lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the | world you see and that it changes as you change your mind. But it is |
| W1:132.6 | change your mind. But it is pride that argues you have come into a | world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what you think, and |
| W1:132.7 | There is no | world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not |
| W1:132.8 | healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no | world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the |
| W1:132.8 | rise to teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this | world, which shows them that the world does not exist because what |
| W1:132.8 | in experience that is not of this world, which shows them that the | world does not exist because what they behold must be the truth, and |
| W1:132.8 | they behold must be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the | world. And some will find it in this course and in the exercises that |
| W1:132.9 | Today's idea is true because the | world does not exist. And if it is indeed your own imagining, then |
| W1:132.10 | and no 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? |
| W1:132.11 | another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the | world? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change |
| W1:132.11 | that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To free the | world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about |
| W1:132.11 | kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no | world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and |
| W1:132.11 | ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the | world within your mind in thought. |
| W1:132.12 | does not share His timelessness and love. Are these inherent in the | world you see? Does it create like Him? Unless it does, it is not |
| W1:132.12 | it does, it is not real and cannot be at all. If you are real, the | world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the world in |
| W1:132.12 | real, the world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the | world in every way. And as it was His thought by which you were |
| W1:132.13 | Release the | world! Your real creations wait for this release to give you |
| W1:132.14 | There is no | world because it is a thought apart from God and made to separate the |
| W1:132.14 | away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a | world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny |
| W1:132.14 | accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying | world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a world released. |
| W1:132.14 | laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a | world released. |
| W1:132.15 | Today our purpose is to free the | world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all |
| W1:132.15 | us along with them. And we who are as He created us would loose the | world this day from every one of our illusions that we may be free. |
| 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 |
| W1:132.17 | loose the world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the | world is not, and I would know my own reality. |
| W1:132.18 | no strain, and let your mind in quietness be changed so that the | world is freed along with you. |
| W1:132.19 | need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the | world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these |
| W1:132.19 | the ones you see near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the | world. But you will sense your own release, although you may not |
| W1:132.20 | the day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the | world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your |
| W1:132.21 | I loose the | world from all I thought it was and choose my own reality instead. |
| W1:133.2 | to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the | world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not |
| W1:133.2 | does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the | world contains. |
| W1:133.3 | There are no satisfactions in the | world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things |
| W1:134.7 | is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the | world. It sees their nothingness and looks right through the thousand |
| W1:134.10 | is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, between the | world you see and that which lies beyond, between the hell of guilt |
| W1:134.13 | Forgiveness must be practiced, for the | world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to teach you |
| W1:134.13 | a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the | world which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows nor the |
| W1:134.13 | it follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the | world as is your own reality. And yet it joins your mind with the |
| W1:134.17 | them, but realize that you are using his “offenses” but to save the | world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you |
| W1:135.3 | The | world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its |
| W1:135.3 | all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the | world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart. |
| W1:135.21 | will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the | world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside |
| W1:135.28 | that comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the | world will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with |
| W1:136.8 | for an instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your | world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that |
| W1:137.2 | by a solid wall of sickened flesh which it cannot surmount. The | world obeys the laws that sickness serves, but healing operates apart |
| W1:137.5 | but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real | world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all, |
| W1:137.6 | anti-Christ becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the | world is real. The body seems to be more solid and more stable than |
| W1:137.7 | Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real | world will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace |
| W1:137.9 | Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the | world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means |
| W1:137.9 | forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a | world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy |
| W1:137.10 | recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the | world when you let healing come to you. But you are never healed |
| W1:137.13 | is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the | world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation |
| W1:137.15 | healed, I am not healed alone. And I would share my healing with the | world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one Son, |
| W1:138.1 | In this | world, Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are |
| W1:138.2 | creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form the | world can understand. Truth cannot come where it could only be |
| W1:138.6 | In this insanely complicated | world, Heaven appears to take the form of choice rather than merely |
| W1:139.6 | is the depth of madness. Yet it is the universal question of the | world. What does this prove except the world is mad? Why share its |
| W1:139.6 | the universal question of the world. What does this prove except the | world is mad? Why share its madness in the sad belief that what is |
| W1:139.6 | in the sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the | world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home |
| W1:139.13 | let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the | world would weave around the holy Son of God. And learn the fragile |
| W1:140.1 | Cure is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the | world accepts as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic |
| W1:140.1 | be applied to any remedy the world accepts as beneficial. What the | world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body |
| W1:140.3 | dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the | world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness |
| W1:140.7 | to what is sick so that it can be cured. There is no remedy the | world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that |
| W1:R4.12 | and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness restored the | world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to |
| W1:144.2 | [128] The | world I see has nothing that I want. |
| W1:145.1 | [129] Beyond this | world there is a world I want. |
| W1:145.1 | [129] Beyond this world there is a | world I want. |
| W1:146.2 | [132] I loose the | world from all I thought it was. |
| W1:151.2 | You do not seem to doubt the | world you see. You do not really question what is shown you through |
| W1:151.3 | witness never falser was than this. But how else do you judge the | world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears |
| W1:151.10 | be judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you in this | world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between |
| W1:151.11 | in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven's blessing on the | world. |
| W1:151.12 | is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the | world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as |
| W1:151.16 | your Eastertide. And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the | world, replacing witnesses to sin and death. Through your |
| W1:151.16 | witnesses to sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the | world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift our |
| W1:151.17 | remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the | world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts which |
| W1:151.17 | made pure. Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the | world the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of |
| W1:152.1 | your wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your | world, complete in all details. Here is its whole reality for you. |
| 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 this you can be sure. |
| W1:152.6 | that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a | world where such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only |
| W1:152.6 | things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a | world like this. |
| W1:153.1 | You who feel threatened by this changing | world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests, its brief |
| W1:153.1 | it merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson well. The | world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all its “gifts” |
| W1:153.2 | The | world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger |
| W1:153.4 | to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The sense of threat the | world encourages is so much deeper and so far beyond the frenzy and |
| W1:153.7 | fearful image you believe you see at work in all the evils of the | world? What but illusions could defend you now, when it is but |
| W1:153.8 | play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to save the | world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our |
| W1:153.9 | chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the | world. |
| W1:153.11 | teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the | world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has come to |
| W1:153.13 | to hope, abandoned by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful | world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now |
| W1:153.14 | the story ended. Let this day bring the last chapter closer to the | world that everyone may learn the tales he reads of terrifying |
| W1:153.16 | Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the | world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little |
| W1:153.18 | moment, 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 |
| W1:153.18 | for you who chose to carry out His plan for the salvation of the | world and yours? |
| W1:154.4 | Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the | world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey, |
| W1:154.4 | salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the | world does not obey, which promises salvation from all sin, with |
| W1:154.6 | the role of Heaven's messengers which sets them off from those the | world appoints. The messages which they deliver are intended first |
| W1:154.15 | The | world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy words |
| W1:155.1 | There is a way of living in the | world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change |
| W1:155.1 | forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the | world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet |
| W1:155.2 | The | world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for |
| W1:155.4 | If truth demanded they give up the | world, it would appear to them as if it asked the sacrifice of |
| W1:155.4 | of something that is real. Many have chosen to renounce the | world while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from |
| W1:155.4 | not been released accordingly. Others have chosen nothing but the | world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss still deeper, |
| W1:155.13 | Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the | world to God. Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere. |
| W1:156.1 | this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the | world alone and separate from your Source? |
| W1:156.2 | nor be in parts uncertain and in others sure. You cannot walk the | world apart from God because you could not be without Him. He is what |
| W1:156.4 | a Light in you Which cannot die, Whose Presence is so holy that the | world is sanctified because of you. All things that live bring gifts |
| W1:156.6 | As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the | world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In |
| W1:156.9 | I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the | world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with |
| W1:157.4 | in still anticipation and in quiet joy wherein you quickly leave the | world behind. |
| W1:157.6 | now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the | world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a |
| W1:157.6 | that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the | world is quietly forgot and Heaven is remembered for a while. |
| W1:157.7 | increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the | world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of |
| W1:158.2 | You have received all this. No one who walks the | world but has received it. It is not this knowledge which you give, |
| W1:158.6 | Here is the joining of the | world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet |
| W1:158.6 | shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the | world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all |
| W1:158.8 | all who would achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the | world cannot give anything that faintly can compare with this in |
| W1:159.1 | you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the | world agree. But here they also separate. The world believes that to |
| W1:159.1 | laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The | world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation |
| W1:159.3 | been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a | world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored |
| W1:159.3 | God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the | world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real |
| W1:159.3 | world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real | world pictures Heaven's innocence. |
| W1:159.5 | worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this | world into one made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite |
| W1:159.7 | Here does the | world remember what was lost when it was made. For here it is |
| W1:159.8 | roots. This is their home. They can be brought from here back to the | world, but they can never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil. |
| W1:159.9 | lilies do not leave their home when they are carried back into the | world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their source, but carry |
| W1:159.9 | leave their source, but carry its beneficence with them and turn the | world into a garden like the one they came from and to which they go |
| W1:159.10 | way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven | world. It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from |
| W1:160.2 | so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a | world truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as |
| W1:160.9 | Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the | world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but |
| W1:161.1 | and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement made complete, the | world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored. Here is the answer |
| W1:161.2 | fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial | world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish |
| W1:162.1 | This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the | world. From time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage |
| W1:162.1 | words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the | world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen within its |
| W1:162.2 | might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the | world. The dead awake in answer to its call. And those who live and |
| W1:162.3 | sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He will save the | world because he gives the world what he receives each time he |
| W1:162.3 | truth before him always. He will save the world because he gives the | world what he receives each time he practices the words of truth. |
| W1:162.4 | places all His gifts and all His Love to be distributed to all the | world, increased in giving, kept complete because its sharing is |
| W1:162.5 | for who could cherish sin when holiness like this has blessed the | world? Who could despair when perfect joy is yours, available to all |
| W1:162.6 | night, and darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the | world, for you have recognized the Son of God, and in your |
| W1:164.1 | as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless busy | world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He |
| W1:164.2 | The | world fades easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A |
| W1:164.2 | before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the | world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient call to |
| W1:164.3 | hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him beyond the | world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all your |
| W1:164.3 | grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer than the | world are clear to you who will today accept the gifts He gives. |
| W1:164.4 | There is a silence into which the | world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your |
| W1:164.5 | of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment will a | world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will you see |
| W1:164.6 | Brothers, this day is sacred to the | world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the |
| W1:164.6 | world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the | world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes |
| W1:164.6 | new light. And what you see becomes the healing and salvation of the | world. The valuable and valueless are both perceived and recognized |
| W1:164.7 | We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the | world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our |
| W1:164.7 | our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the | world forgiven in our own. |
| W1:164.8 | We bless the | world as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on us |
| W1:164.8 | of salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to save the | world. |
| W1:164.9 | you receiving your consent and your acceptance. We can change the | world if you acknowledge them. You may not see the value your |
| W1:164.9 | them. You may not see the value your acceptance gives the | world. But this you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for |
| W1:165.1 | What makes this | world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies |
| W1:165.6 | to heal as you were healed. For now you are among the saviors of the | world. Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to |
| W1:166.2 | Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the | world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet |
| W1:166.2 | Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This | world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who |
| W1:166.2 | He wills. Impossible indeed, but every mind that looks upon the | world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true believes |
| W1:166.3 | their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the | world he made. |
| W1:166.4 | Here is the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the | world he made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He does not |
| W1:166.5 | God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the | world contains is valueless before its magnitude. |
| W1:166.15 | He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the | world. |
| W1:167.2 | In this | world there appears to be a state that is life's opposite. You call |
| W1:168.4 | God loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this | world will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but |
| W1:168.4 | an instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the | world in love and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise |
| W1:169.1 | It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the | world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for |
| W1:169.2 | Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a | world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are |
| W1:169.2 | are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the | world contains that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of |
| W1:169.2 | whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot believe the | world of fear is real. |
| W1:169.6 | merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him. The | world has never been at all. Eternity remains a constant state. |
| W1:169.9 | There is no need to further clarify what no one in the | world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will |
| W1:169.12 | a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the | world? How could you finally attain to it forever while a part of you |
| W1:169.14 | Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the | world, what could be more than what we ask this day of Him Who gives |
| W1:170.12 | with you. This time you leave it here. And you return to a new | world unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but |
| W1:170.14 | in us for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the | world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and |
| W1:R5.11 | I need—that you will hear the words I speak and give them to the | world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I |
| W1:R5.11 | are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I save the | world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we |
| W1:R5.12 | but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim the | world. And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every |
| W1:R5.12 | we knew before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the | world that it is free of all illusions every time we say, |
| W1:181.9 | as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless | world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we |
| W1:181.9 | own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the | world and in ourselves. |
| W1:181.10 | The | world which once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are |
| W1:182.1 | This | world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your |
| W1:182.3 | We speak today for everyone who walks this | world, for he is not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless |
| W1:182.6 | unheard amid the grating sounds and harsh and rasping noises of the | world. Yet does He know that in you still abides His sure protection. |
| W1:182.7 | again where He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a | world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait |
| W1:182.8 | When you are still an instant, when the | world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in |
| W1:183.1 | identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even within a | world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it. |
| W1:183.3 | Repeat God's Name and all the | world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the world holds |
| W1:183.3 | and all the world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the | world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand |
| W1:183.3 | and the tears of pain are dried as happy laughter comes to bless the | world. |
| W1:183.8 | of those who call on Him with names of idols cherished by the | world. They cannot reach Him thus. He cannot hear requests that He be |
| W1:183.10 | experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the | world and give the world the same release you found. You can remember |
| W1:183.10 | gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the world and give the | world the same release you found. You can remember what the world |
| W1:183.10 | give the world the same release you found. You can remember what the | world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept today |
| W1:184.3 | What are these names by which the | world becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of |
| W1:184.6 | This is the sum of the inheritance the | world bestows. And everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts |
| W1:184.6 | think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the | world is real. It is for this they stand. They leave no doubt that |
| W1:184.7 | Such is the teaching of the | world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go through. |
| W1:184.7 | does he question its effects. Learning which stops with what the | world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it |
| W1:184.7 | a new perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the | world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised to doubt. |
| W1:184.8 | Think not you made the | world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond |
| W1:184.9 | indeed be strange if you were asked to go beyond all symbols of the | world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching |
| W1:184.9 | to take a teaching function. You have need to use the symbols of the | world a while. But be you not deceived by them as well. They do not |
| W1:184.9 | them. They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the | world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where |
| W1:184.10 | what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the | world becomes a transitory phase—a prison house from which you go |
| W1:184.10 | to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the | world which darkness rules. |
| W1:184.11 | Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the | world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy |
| W1:184.11 | Source Which unifies all things within Itself. Use all the names the | world bestows on them but for convenience, yet do not forget they |
| W1:184.12 | is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the | world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is |
| W1:185.2 | words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to look upon the | world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The world |
| W1:185.2 | the world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The | world would be completely changed should any two agree these words |
| W1:186.1 | as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save the | world, restoring it to Heaven's peace. |
| W1:186.7 | not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go. Salvation of the | world depends on you and not upon this little pile of dust. What can |
| W1:186.10 | concentrated drive toward goals like these? The functions which the | world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten times an hour at |
| W1:186.13 | and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a | world of form. |
| W1:186.14 | has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of the | world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function here. |
| W1:187.1 | possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the | world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the |
| W1:187.1 | the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the | world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth |
| W1:187.3 | first belong to you before you give them. If you are to save the | world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not |
| W1:187.5 | they cannot be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the sense the | world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who |
| W1:187.11 | Now are we blessed, and now we bless the | world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it |
| W1:188.1 | is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the | world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The |
| W1:188.3 | of God is shining in you now and from your heart extends around the | world. It pauses to caress each living thing and leave a blessing |
| W1:188.4 | The shining in your mind reminds the | world of what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to |
| W1:188.4 | in your mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and the | world restores the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates |
| W1:188.4 | in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to the | world. |
| W1:188.6 | alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer | world and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the |
| W1:188.9 | that share our 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 |
| W1:188.9 | the world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the | world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid |
| W1:189.1 | There is a light in you the | world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, |
| W1:189.1 | its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the | world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon. |
| W1:189.1 | we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the | world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with |
| W1:189.2 | Who could feel fear in such a | world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings |
| W1:189.3 | This is the | world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you |
| W1:189.3 | is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the | world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one |
| W1:189.3 | one can be perceived at all. The other one is wholly meaningless. A | world in which forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its |
| W1:189.3 | its gentle light to everyone is inconceivable to those who see a | world of hatred, rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and |
| W1:189.4 | Yet is the | world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel |
| W1:189.4 | unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God's Love in them. Their | world reflects the quietness and peace that shines in them, the |
| W1:189.5 | hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful | world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you |
| W1:189.5 | fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you look out upon a | world of mercy and of love. |
| W1:189.7 | you are and what God is, all concepts you have learned about the | world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of |
| W1:189.7 | nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this | world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your |
| W1:189.9 | His love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the | world in innocence. |
| W1:189.10 | that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the | world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen. |
| W1:190.5 | oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing in the | world which has the power to make you ill or sad or weak or frail. |
| W1:190.6 | My holy brothers, think of this awhile—the | world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely |
| W1:190.7 | The | world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless, |
| W1:190.7 | The world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the | world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot |
| W1:190.8 | to triumph over love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the | world becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and |
| W1:190.11 | instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the | world. |
| W1:191.1 | Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the | world. And here as well is all the world released. You do not see |
| W1:191.1 | of release from bondage of the world. And here as well is all the | world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the |
| W1:191.1 | world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the | world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but |
| W1:191.2 | What have you done that this should be your | world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own |
| W1:191.5 | find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the | world and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from |
| W1:191.5 | out the way to happiness that changed his whole perception of the | world. |
| W1:191.6 | with this holy thought, you learn as well that you have freed the | world. You have no need to use it cruelly and then perceive this |
| W1:191.6 | You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the | world in terror with the world twisting in agony because your fears |
| W1:191.6 | a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror with the | world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of |
| W1:191.10 | death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the | world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save |
| W1:191.10 | in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the | world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark |
| W1:191.10 | and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the | world as dark and sinful when God's Son has come again at last to set |
| W1:191.11 | game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a | world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy will |
| W1:191.12 | from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return again to bless the | world he made. In error it began. But it will end in the reflection |
| W1:191.12 | Then join with me today. Your glory is the light that saves the | world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the world, and |
| W1:191.12 | saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the | world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to |
| W1:191.13 | stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see the mercy of the | world until you find it for yourself. They suffer pain until you have |
| W1:191.13 | life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the | world is free. Remember this and earth and Heaven are one. |
| W1:192.1 | God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean within a | world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in |
| W1:192.1 | of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in the | world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond |
| W1:192.3 | Creation cannot even be conceived of in the | world. It has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can come |
| W1:192.4 | all things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the | world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can now |
| W1:192.8 | time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him become the | world in which the jailer lives, along with him. And it is on his |
| W1:193.3 | holy law of Love be given form in which it could be offered to the | world. And He created One Who could perceive what form this law |
| W1:193.9 | of fear. These are the words by which salvation comes to all the | world. |
| W1:193.17 | go with 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 |
| W1:193.17 | that lets it be to you another step to Him and to salvation of the | world. |
| W1:194.2 | about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and you have released the | world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked |
| W1:194.2 | You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the | world because you have received. |
| W1:194.4 | They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. Yet in this | world the temporal progression still seems real. And so you are not |
| W1:194.5 | the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the | world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made |
| W1:194.5 | to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a | world made free with him to share his holiness. |
| W1:194.6 | way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the | world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the |
| W1:194.6 | world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the | world perceive that it is saved. |
| W1:194.7 | pain has found his way to present peace and certainty of care the | world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be |
| W1:194.8 | your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the | world could fail to gain thereby and every living creature not |
| W1:194.8 | healed perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the | world within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort |
| W1:194.8 | for comfort and security. He lays aside the sick illusions of the | world along with his and offers peace to both. |
| W1:194.9 | choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the | world our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its friends. |
| W1:195.1 | Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the | world amiss. The most that they can do is see themselves as better |
| W1:195.1 | to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the | world. |
| W1:196.9 | for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the | world and need not fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide |
| W1:197.3 | The | world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions. |
| W1:198.7 | This | world has many seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and |
| W1:198.12 | condemnation in God's Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the | world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face |
| W1:198.13 | Now is there silence all around the | world. Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush |
| W1:199.5 | There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help the | world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We |
| W1:199.5 | added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the | world with this idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of |
| W1:199.8 | you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the | world is blessed along with you; God's Son will weep no more, and |
| W1:200.4 | no meaning to you, though you sought to make them meaningful. This | world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is |
| W1:200.4 | a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the | world no longer seems to be a prison house for you or anyone. |
| W1:200.5 | iron doors. For you must change your mind about the purpose of the | world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world |
| W1:200.5 | the world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the | world is seen by you as blessed and everyone made free of your |
| W1:200.7 | except the peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a | world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same |
| W1:200.7 | own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a | world? It cannot have reality because it never was created. Is it |
| W1:200.7 | he would seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the | world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way and |
| W1:200.8 | Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross to leave this | world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as |
| W1:200.8 | will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the | world perceived as different and leading from this fresh perception |
| W1:200.9 | the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a | world apart from God where bodies have reality. |
| W1:200.11 | be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the | world of ambiguity and to replace our shifting goals and solitary |
| W1:R6.1 | truly. Each would be enough to give release to you and to the | world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to come |
| W1:R6.5 | or we remember in between we have a function that transcends the | world we see. Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we |
| W1:R6.11 | each practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to the | world. |
| W1:204.1 | that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the | world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with |
| W1:206.1 | [186] Salvation of the | world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God because I |
| W1:207.1 | [187] I bless the | world because I bless myself. God's blessing shines upon me from |
| W1:212.1 | function that would set me free from all the vain illusions of the | world. Only the function God has given me can offer freedom. Only |
| W2:I.1 | remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the | world of pain and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal |
| W2:I.6 | holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the | world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by You. We |
| W2:I.6 | gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a | world beyond the one we made and take that world to be the full |
| W2:I.6 | vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take that | world to be the full replacement of our own. |
| W2:224.1 | from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give it light. It lights the | world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I |
| W2:224.1 | well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I give the | world. There is no gift but this that can be either given or |
| W2:224.2 | or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the | world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead. |
| W2:226.1 | If I so choose, I can depart this | world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is |
| W2:226.1 | this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the | world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still |
| W2:226.1 | it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the | world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search |
| W2:WS.3 | is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the | world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not |
| W2:WS.5 | From here we give salvation to the | world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of our |
| W2:WS.5 | was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call to all the | world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's |
| W2:WS.5 | Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the | world, and only Heaven now exists at all. |
| W2:237.1 | I will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the | world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation |
| W2:237.1 | light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the | world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father speaks to |
| W2:237.1 | that I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the | world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream |
| W2:240.1 | have seen yourself as you could never be and therefore look upon a | world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It |
| W2:240.1 | look 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 |
| W2:WIW.1 | The | world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left |
| W2:WIW.1 | of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the | world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, |
| W2:WIW.1 | in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, where all the | world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has |
| W2:WIW.2 | The | world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is |
| W2:WIW.2 | It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the | world was meant to be a place where God could enter not and where His |
| W2:WIW.3 | given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the | world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions |
| W2:WIW.4 | be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the | world. Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His |
| W2:WIW.4 | Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the | world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to |
| W2:WIW.5 | Let us not rest content until the | world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied |
| W2:WIW.5 | And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the | world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, |
| W2:241.1 | special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened | world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass |
| W2:241.1 | away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a | world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They |
| 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 alone must be but foolishness. |
| W2:245.2 | And so we go in peace. To all the | world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to |
| W2:249.1 | Forgiveness paints a picture of a | world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger |
| W2:249.1 | What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The | world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. |
| W2:252.1 | Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the | world but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this |
| W2:252.1 | but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this | world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God! |
| W2:253.1 | that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this | world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. |
| W2:253.1 | not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this | world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my holy |
| W2:258.1 | grace to shine in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the | world are sought instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We |
| W2:264.2 | This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save the | world along with us? |
| W2:265.1 | I have indeed misunderstood the | world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking back at me. |
| W2:265.1 | And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the | world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the |
| W2:265.1 | feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the | world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There |
| W2:265.1 | appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of Heaven, shining on the | world. What is reflected here is in God's Mind. The images I see |
| W2:265.2 | In quiet would I look upon the | world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as well. Let me |
| W2:266.2 | has given us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the | world with those who point to Him and given us the sight to look on |
| W2:267.1 | of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the | world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath |
| W2:269.1 | illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a | world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of Christ and |
| W2:270.1 | all that the body's eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven | world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more |
| W2:270.1 | the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this | world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. |
| W2:270.1 | Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The | world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his |
| W2:270.2 | is 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 |
| W2:WIC.4 | appointed as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the | world and peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to |
| W2:271.1 | witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the | world and God's creation meet, and as they come together, all |
| W2:271.1 | together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the | world from death. For nothing that He looks on but must live, |
| W2:275.2 | what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the | world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice |
| 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 |
| W2:278.1 | prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the laws the | world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I perceive |
| W2:282.1 | could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the | world. This the decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God |
| W2:283.2 | so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the | world, which our forgiveness has made one with us. |
| W2:289.1 | Unless the past is over in my mind, the real | world must escape my sight. For I am really looking nowhere, seeing |
| W2:289.1 | nowhere, seeing but what is not there. How can I then perceive the | world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this |
| W2:289.1 | forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the | world that can be looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be |
| W2:289.2 | not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement in a present | world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of |
| W2:WIRW.1 | The real | world is a symbol like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it |
| W2:WIRW.1 | offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your | world is seen through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror |
| W2:WIRW.1 | of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real | world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so |
| W2:WIRW.1 | be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a | world where terror is impossible and witnesses to fear cannot be |
| W2:WIRW.2 | The real | world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your |
| W2:WIRW.2 | world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your | world, a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle |
| W2:WIRW.2 | correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your | world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, |
| W2:WIRW.2 | of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real | world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a |
| W2:WIRW.2 | sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a | world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. |
| W2:WIRW.3 | to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The | world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger |
| W2:WIRW.4 | The real | world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over and God's |
| W2:WIRW.4 | his Father's Love, the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real | world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time |
| W2:WIRW.5 | our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we look upon a | world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, |
| W2:291.1 | all things forgiven and at peace and offers this same vision to the | world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for |
| W2:291.1 | And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the | world as well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we |
| W2:293.1 | present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the | world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my past |
| W2:293.1 | in the present, love is obvious and its effects apparent. All the | world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world |
| W2:293.1 | the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a | world forgiven at last. |
| W2:293.2 | Father, let not Your holy | world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns |
| W2:293.2 | today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the | world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world |
| W2:293.2 | the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real | world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I |
| W2:293.2 | present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this | world before my eyes today. |
| 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 peace of mind to me and |
| W2:295.1 | as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the | world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is |
| W2:295.1 | on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the | world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear |
| W2:296.1 | The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the | world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am |
| W2:296.1 | apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the | world I made. For having damned it, I would set it free that I may |
| W2:296.2 | to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the | world through us to seek and find the easy path to God! |
| W2:297.1 | who would be saved, would make it mine to be the way I live within a | world that needs salvation and that will be saved as I accept |
| W2:300.2 | We seek Your holy | world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But |
| W2:300.2 | to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the | world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny |
| W2:WISC.2 | nature of Christ's Second Coming that permits it to embrace the | world and hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses |
| W2:301.1 | Nor can I suffer pain or feel I am abandoned and unneeded in the | world. This is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it |
| W2:301.1 | eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your | world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, |
| W2:301.1 | forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your | world today. |
| W2:301.2 | God's | world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to it and |
| W2:301.2 | them. We wept because we did not understand. But we have learned the | world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world today. |
| W2:301.2 | have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's | world today. |
| W2:302.1 | Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy | world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We |
| W2:302.1 | for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy | world today that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but |
| W2:304.1 | I can obscure my holy sight if I intrude my | world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon |
| W2:304.1 | I look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would bless the | world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look |
| W2:304.2 | sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the | world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son |
| W2:305.1 | so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless that the | world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this |
| W2:305.1 | no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the | world departs in silence as this peace envelops it and gently carries |
| W2:305.1 | no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come and healed the | world by giving it Christ's peace. |
| W2:306.1 | vision would I use today when it can offer me a day in which I see a | world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I |
| W2:306.1 | Heaven that an 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 |
| W2:306.1 | and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a | world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God. |
| W2:308.1 | a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the | world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is |
| W2:308.2 | You have appointed for Your Son's release and for salvation of the | world in him. |
| W2:310.2 | We spend this day together, you and I. And all the | world joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who |
| W2:WILJ.1 | this the judgment is in which perception ends. At first you see a | world which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected |
| W2:WILJ.2 | The final judgment on the | world contains no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally |
| W2:WILJ.2 | judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it sees the | world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. |
| W2:WILJ.2 | there it ends as well. And all the figures in the dream in which the | world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and will therefore |
| W2:WILJ.3 | You who believed that God's Last Judgment would condemn the | world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment |
| W2:WILJ.4 | Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the | world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free. |
| W2:312.1 | what you have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real | world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy |
| W2:312.2 | I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated | world, set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is |
| W2:313.1 | it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a | world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees |
| W2:313.2 | and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We save the | world when we are joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the |
| W2:314.1 | From new perception of the | world there comes a future very different from the past. The future |
| W2:318.1 | holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the | world. What could conflict when all the parts have but one purpose |
| W2:318.1 | placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the | world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am |
| W2:319.2 | stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the salvation of the | world could You have given me? And what but this could be the will my |
| W2:320.2 | Your Will 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 |
| W2:321.2 | Today we answer for the | world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our |
| W2:323.1 | “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me for the salvation of the | world. |
| W2:325.1 | real, and guarded as one's own. From insane wishes comes an insane | world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from forgiving |
| W2:325.1 | own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a | world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes |
| W2:325.1 | comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle | world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a |
| W2:331.1 | love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a | world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left |
| W2:332.2 | We would not bind the | world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has |
| W2:333.2 | but this can end our evil dreams. No light but this can save the | world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to |
| W2:338.1 | It needs but this to let salvation come to all the | world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from |
| W2:340.1 | all suffering. Thanks for today, my Father. I was born into this | world but to achieve this day and what it holds in joy and freedom |
| W2:340.1 | and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the | world he made, which is released along with him today. |
| W2:WIM.2 | and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the | world does not obey because it fails entirely to understand its ways. |
| W2:WIM.3 | to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the | world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of |
| W2:WIM.4 | the miracle will justify your faith in it and show it rested on a | world more real than what you saw before—a world redeemed from what |
| W2:WIM.4 | and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before—a | world redeemed from what you thought you saw. |
| W2:WIM.5 | fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty | world, where starved and thirsty creatures came to die. Now they have |
| W2:WIM.5 | and thirsty creatures came to die. Now they have water. Now the | world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up to show |
| W2:342.2 | me now. I come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the | world goes with us on the way to God. |
| W2:345.2 | today. The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired | world. It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have |
| W2:349.2 | them all. And so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the | world and heal our minds as we return to Him. |
| W2:350.1 | teaches me to let Your memory return to me and give it to the | world in thankfulness. |
| W2:WAI.3 | are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the | world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our |
| W2:WAI.4 | Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a | world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear |
| W2:WAI.4 | of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of God proclaim the | world as sinless. Ours the minds which join together as we bless the |
| W2:WAI.4 | world as sinless. Ours the minds which join together as we bless the | world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our |
| W2:351.1 | myself a sinner, not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful | world. Yet this perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I |
| W2:359.1 | Father, today we will forgive Your | world and let creation be Your own. We have misunderstood all things. |
| W2:359.1 | forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow | world we see. Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us |
| W2:360.1 | else can certainty be found. Peace be to me and peace to all the | world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. |
| W2:FL.1 | For we would not return again to the belief in sin, which made the | world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in |
| W2:FL.3 | the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the | world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the |
| W2:E.3 | but the Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from the | world, to seek Reality instead. He will direct your efforts, telling |
| M:I.1 | of teaching and learning is actually reversed in the thinking of the | world. The reversal is characteristic. It seems as if the teacher and |
| M:I.4 | himself that he is what he is not. Herein is the purpose of the | world. What else, then, would its curriculum be? Into this hopeless |
| M:I.5 | for God's teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the | world of sin would seem forever “real.” The self-deceiving must |
| M:I.5 | How can they work out their own salvation and the salvation of the | world? This manual attempts to answer these questions. |
| M:1.2 | They come from all over the | world. They come from all religions and from no religion. They are |
| M:1.2 | everywhere. It calls for teachers to speak for it and redeem the | world. Many hear it, but few will answer. But it is all a matter of |
| M:1.2 | be limited. And each one saves a thousand years of time as the | world judges it. To the Call itself, time has no meaning. |
| M:1.3 | He has therefore found his own salvation and the salvation of the | world. In his rebirth is the world reborn. |
| M:1.3 | own salvation and the salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the | world reborn. |
| M:1.4 | save time. Yet it is time alone that winds on wearily, and the | world is very tired now. It is old and worn and without hope. There |
| M:1.4 | God? But time, 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 |
| M:2.3 | The | world of time is the world of illusion. What happened long ago seems |
| M:2.3 | The world of time is the | world of illusion. What happened long ago seems to be happening now. |
| M:3.3 | time, the teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the | world with the single decision, and then learns more and more about |
| M:4.1 | come from vastly different backgrounds, their experiences of the | world vary greatly, and their superficial “personalities” are quite |
| M:4.3 | effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the | world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the |
| M:4.3 | world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the | world made up. It is governed by a Power Which is in them but not of |
| M:4.3 | It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven | world. |
| M:4.6 | helpful that any degree of reality should be accorded them in this | world of illusion. The word “value” can apply to nothing else. |
| M:4.12 | never do their will alone. They choose for all mankind, for all the | world and all things in it, for the unchanging and unchangeable |
| M:4.18 | for without trust, no one can be generous in the true sense. To the | world, generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To |
| M:4.18 | the workbook, but it is perhaps more alien to the thinking of the | world than many other ideas in our curriculum. Its greater |
| M:4.18 | the word means the exact opposite to the teachers of God and to the | world. |
| M:4.19 | out of self-interest. This does not refer, however, to the self the | world speaks of. The teacher of God does not want anything he cannot |
| M:4.20 | as well held no mistakes—nothing that did not serve to benefit the | world as well as him to whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not |
| M:4.21 | give up all problems to one Answer is to reverse the thinking of the | world entirely. And that alone is faithfulness. Nothing but that |
| M:4.24 | that would prevent forgiveness. They have in truth abandoned the | world and let it be restored to them in newness and in joy so |
| M:4.25 | It is the function of God's teachers to bring true learning to the | world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that they bring, for that |
| M:4.25 | it is unlearning that they bring, for that is “true learning” in the | world. It is given to the teachers of God to bring the glad tidings |
| M:4.25 | of God to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the | world. Blessed indeed are they, for they are the bringers of |
| M:5.4 | to recognizing this is enormous, because the existence of the | world as we perceive it depends on the body being the decision-maker. |
| M:5.7 | in one respect, and the learning will generalize and transform the | world. The transfer value of one true idea has no end nor limit. The |
| M:8.3 | do all these differences come from? Certainly they seem to be in the | world outside. Yet it is surely the mind that judges what the eyes |
| M:8.3 | and gives them “meaning.” And this meaning does not exist in the | world outside at all. What is seen as “reality” is simply what the |
| M:8.4 | all differences rests, because it is on this that judgments of the | world depend. Can this confused and senseless “reasoning” be depended |
| M:8.6 | the messages the mind receives from what appears to be the outside | world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is wholly |
| M:9.2 | achieving a goal in direct opposition to that of our curriculum. The | world trains for reliance on one's judgment as the criterion for |
| M:10.1 | Judgment, like other devices by which the | world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the |
| M:10.1 | world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the | world. It is actually confused with wisdom and substitutes for truth. |
| M:10.1 | is actually confused with wisdom and substitutes for truth. As the | world uses the term, an individual is capable of “good” and “bad” |
| M:11.1 | resurrection must occur, and that rebirth is man's inheritance. The | world you see cannot be the world God loves, and yet His Word assures |
| M:11.1 | that rebirth is man's inheritance. The world you see cannot be the | world God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. |
| M:11.1 | the world God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the | world. God's Word has promised us that peace is possible here, and |
| M:11.1 | what He promises can hardly be impossible. But it is true that the | world must be looked at differently if His promises are to be |
| M:11.1 | looked at differently if His promises are to be accepted. What the | world is, is but a fact. You cannot choose what this should be. But |
| M:11.2 | is more likely to be true. For they say different things about the | world, and things so opposite that it is pointless to try to |
| M:11.2 | that it is pointless to try to reconcile them. God offers the | world salvation; your judgment would condemn it. God says there is no |
| M:11.2 | the inevitable end of life. God's Word assures you that He loves the | world; your judgment says it is unlovable. Who is right? For one of |
| M:11.3 | ununderstandable made understandable. How is peace possible in this | world? In your judgment it is not possible and can never be possible. |
| M:11.4 | to those who offer peace. How easily, then, is your judgment of the | world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. |
| M:11.4 | easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped! It is not the | world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you see that |
| M:11.4 | It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the | world you see that is impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this |
| M:11.4 | you see that is impossible. Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted | world redeemed it and made it fit to welcome peace. And peace |
| M:11.4 | question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be possible in this | world?” but instead, “Is it not impossible that peace be absent here?” |
| M:12.4 | will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this | world, and the mind will understand because of their Source. From |
| M:13.1 | sacrifice is altogether meaningless, it does have meaning in the | world. Like all things in the world, its meaning is temporary and |
| M:13.1 | it does have meaning in the world. Like all things in the | world, its meaning is temporary and will ultimately fade into the |
| M:13.1 | 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 world itself is |
| M:13.1 | things of this world. What could this be but an illusion, since this | world itself is nothing more than that? |
| M:13.2 | takes great learning both to realize and to accept the fact that the | world has nothing to give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? It |
| M:13.2 | terms that does not involve the body. Think a while about what the | world calls sacrifice. Power, fame, money, physical pleasure—who is |
| M:13.3 | for the mind to understand that all the “pleasures” of the | world are nothing. But what a sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed |
| M:13.4 | God's teachers can have no regret on giving up the pleasures of the | world. Is it a sacrifice to give up pain? Does an adult resent the |
| M:13.4 | back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped the | world and all its ills looks back on it with condemnation. Yet he |
| M:13.5 | must be paid for the denial of truth. There is no pleasure of the | world that does not demand this, for otherwise the pleasure would be |
| M:13.6 | yet, and they can but turn to you. There is no other hope in all the | world that they can trust. There is no other voice in all the world |
| M:13.6 | the world that they can trust. There is no other voice in all the | world that echoes God's. If you would sacrifice the truth, they stay |
| M:13.7 | God has no exceptions. It is this that makes it holy and beyond the | world. It is its holiness that points to God. It is its holiness that |
| M:13.8 | is for you. Your learning claims it, and your learning gives it. The | world contains it not, but learn this course and it is yours. God |
| M:14.1 | Can what has no beginning really end? The | world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an |
| M:14.1 | all evil, concealing all sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the | world that guilt had made, for now it has no purpose and is gone. The |
| M:14.2 | Until forgiveness is complete, the | world does have a purpose. It becomes the home in which forgiveness |
| M:14.2 | for here there is need of Him indeed. He brings the ending of the | world with Him. It is His Call God's teachers answer, turning to Him |
| M:14.2 | teachers answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The | world will end when all things in it have been rightly judged by His |
| M:14.2 | when all things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. The | world will end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one |
| M:14.2 | of holiness upon it. When not one thought of sin remains, the | world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor even |
| M:14.3 | in which unity is restored. It goes against all the thinking of the | world, but so does Heaven. |
| M:14.4 | The | world will end when its thought system has been completely reversed. |
| M:14.4 | still seem sensible. The final lesson which brings the ending of the | world cannot be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the world |
| M:14.4 | the world cannot be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the | world and go beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of |
| M:14.5 | The | world will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has |
| M:14.5 | it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the | world has gone. The world will end in peace because it is a place of |
| M:14.5 | of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The | world will end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has |
| M:14.5 | is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the | world? The world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. |
| M:14.5 | of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The | world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. Where |
| M:14.5 | weep? And only complete forgiveness brings all this to bless the | world. In blessing it departs, for it will not end as it began. To |
| M:15.1 | him. He will hear his sinlessness proclaimed around and around the | world, setting it free as God's Final Judgment on him is received. |
| M:15.1 | him. Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies across the | world that everyone may hear this judgment of the Son of God: |
| M:15.2 | free, and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the | world and where is sorrow now? |
| M:15.3 | and thus delay this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on the | world, teacher of God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear |
| M:15.4 | longer. God's judgment waits for you to set you free. What can the | world hold out to you, regardless of your judgments on its gifts, |
| M:15.4 | It is your function to hold it to your heart and offer it to all the | world to keep it safe. |
| M:16.11 | Is not this an exchange that you would want? The | world would gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is God's |
| M:17.9 | to your own interpretation which you have projected on an outside | world. Let this grim sword be taken from you now. There is no death. |
| M:18.2 | now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now He can remind the | world of sinlessness, the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of |
| M:18.3 | and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all this and to the | world that rests on this: |
| M:18.4 | God reigns forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the | world. His love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion, |
| M:19.1 | for injustice. Injustice is the basis for all the judgments of the | world. Justice corrects the interpretations to which injustice gives |
| M:19.1 | Heaven, for error is impossible and correction meaningless. In this | world, however, forgiveness depends on justice since all attack can |
| M:19.1 | can only be unjust. Justice is the Holy Spirit's verdict upon the | world. Except in His judgment, justice is impossible, for no one in |
| M:19.1 | Except in His judgment, justice is impossible, for no one in the | world is capable of making only just interpretations and laying all |
| M:19.3 | body's eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted | world back to the mind that made the lens and holds it very dear. |
| M:19.3 | it very dear. Selectively and arbitrarily is every concept of the | world built up in just this way. “Sins” are perceived and justified |
| M:19.5 | been lost has now been found. The peace of God descends on all the | world and we can see. And we can see! |
| M:20.1 | It has been said that there is a kind of peace that is not of this | world. How is it recognized? How is it found? And being found, how |
| M:20.5 | because you have decided that death ends life. Forgive the | world, and you will understand that everything which God created |
| M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this | world will bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the |
| M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this world will bring experiences of this | world. If the prayer of the heart asks for this, this will be given |
| M:22.1 | of Atonement. It is the one complete concept possible in this | world, because it is the source of a wholly unified perception. |
| M:23.1 | most advanced of God's teachers will give way to temptation in this | world. Would it be fair if their pupils were denied healing because |
| M:23.2 | who has perfectly accepted the Atonement for himself can heal the | world. Indeed, he has already done so. Temptation may recur to |
| M:23.4 | as such is but a symbol. But it stands for love that is not of this | world. It is a symbol that can safely be used as a replacement for |
| M:25.2 | Communication is not limited to the small range of channels the | world recognizes. If it were, there would be little point in trying |
| M:25.2 | to teach salvation. It would be impossible to do so. The limits the | world places on communication are the chief barrier to direct |
| M:25.2 | without them the walls that surround all the separate places of the | world would fall at the holy sound of His Voice. Who transcends these |
| M:25.5 | Even those who no longer value the material things of the | world may still be deceived by “psychic” powers. As investment has |
| M:25.6 | usefulness. Salvation has need of all abilities, for what the | world would destroy, the Holy Spirit would restore. “Psychic” |
| M:26.1 | they have joined with others. This is what sets them apart from the | world. And it is this that enables others to leave the world with |
| M:26.1 | from the world. And it is this that enables others to leave the | world with them. Alone they are nothing. But in their joining is the |
| M:26.3 | of God may have a brief experience of direct union with God. In this | world, it is almost impossible that this endure. It can, perhaps, be |
| M:27.1 | more carefully. It is the one fixed, unchangeable belief of the | world that all things in it are born only to die. This is regarded as |
| M:27.2 | he has denied that life is real. Death has become life's symbol. His | world is now a battleground where contradiction reigns and opposites |
| M:27.4 | this is possible. There is either a god of fear or One of Love. The | world attempts a thousand compromises and will attempt a thousand |

| Tx:9.47 | it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is | worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want in these terms and accept |
| Tx:10.30 | and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you will be | worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your will not to |

| Tx:25.83 | It is not a special gift to some to be withheld from others as less | worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from healing. Who is there who |
| Tx:26.45 | with one illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship | worthy of God's Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet |
