does He recognize all you deserve, but understands as well that T 25 I 10 (693)

to punish you, and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations T 28 G 3 (779)

be in miracles, unless someone deserves to suffer more, and others T 25 J 6 (697)

in vain. The ego may desire them, but the Soul cannot T 4 A 2 (70)
that is WHOLLY DESIRED. To desire wholly is to CREATE, and T 6 G 9 (149)
ARE ASKING FOR NOTHING. ANY desire which stems from the ego T 8 J 11 (216)
from the ego IS a desire for nothing, and to ask T 8 J 11 (216)
remember everything the instant you DESIRE IT WHOLLY, for if to T 9 H 7 (240)

it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and T 11 D 10 (289)
be unlike Him, and this desire is NOT will. The world T 11 D 10 (289)
tempted to yield to the desire for death REMEMBER THAT I T 11 H 16 (303)
that has relinquished the insane desire to control reality. You who T 11 I 5 (305)
but it is not your desire to attack which REALLY frightens T 12 C 1 (315)
as far away as your DESIRE for it. As long as T 15 E 2 (397)
it. As long as you desire it not, and cherish littleness T 15 E 2 (397)
here, for there is no desire to exclude anyone from your T 15 H 14 (411)
aside, but what you still desire with all your hearts. Let T 15 I 2 (412)
understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The will T 18 D 4 (488)
is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever T 18 D 4 (488)
possible, and will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in T 18 D 5 (488)
reach it. And in your desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire T 18 D 5 (488)
desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete accord T 18 D 5 (488)

It is the ANSWER. The desire and the willingness to let T 18 E 1 (490)
remember this, and say: I desire this holy instant for myself T 18 F 7 (494)
which takes place with your desire for it is the irresistible T 18 G 14 (499)
given you the instant you desire it. Many have spent a T 18 H 4 (500)

surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of it T 19 G 1 (530)
it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace T 19 K 5 (542)
look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget T 19 K 7 (542)
sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the T 20 H 5 (568)
restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to T 20 I 1 (570)
lost to you through your desire for something else. Open the T 20 I 1 (570)
had judgment not been made. Desire now its whole undoing, and T 20 I 1 (570)
is given, waiting on your desire but to receive it. Vision T 20 I 2 (570)
ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared T 20 I 3 (570)
he is. It is HIS desire to see his sinlessness, as T 20 I 3 (570)
it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for T 21 C 9 (580)
justify its purpose. What you desire you WILL see. And if T 21 C 10 (580)
ago, we spoke of your desire to create your own Creator T 21 C 11 (581)
Him. This is the same desire. The Son is the effect T 21 C 11 (581)
in it BECAUSE of your desire. T 21 D 7 T 21 D 6 (584)

imprisoned save by his own desire. And it is by his T 21 G 11 (597)
it is by his own desire that he is freed. Such T 21 G 11 (597)
done for him: Do I DESIRE a world I rule instead T 21 H 5 (599)
which rules me? Do I DESIRE a world where I am T 21 H 5 (599)
instead of helpless? Do I DESIRE a world in which I T 21 H 5 (599)
vacillations are impossible. You can desire a world you rule which T 21 H 10 (600)
change your mind. You can desire to exchange your helplessness for T 21 H 10 (600)
power, and lose this same desire as a little glint of T 21 H 10 (600)
eyes and change what you desire. T 21 H 11 T 21 H 10 (600)

its constancy because its own desire cannot be shaken. It comes T 21 I 3 (602)
inconstantly. For if what you desire you receive, and happiness is T 21 I 4 (602)

Yet he WILL ask because desire is a request, an asking T 21 I 4 (602)

is powerless because of your desire for what will never change T 21 I 6 (603)
no separate will, nor the desire that ANYTHING be separate. Its T 22 C 12 (613)
as CAUSING sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet T 22 D 9 (616)

minds can change as they desire. What they are, and all T 24 E 2 (656)
other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, different and T 25 B 5 (671)
is merely this: The whole desire to attack is gone, and T 25 F 1 (681)
is a result of your desire to see your brother with T 27 C 7 (735)
memory if you did not DESIRE its effects? Remembering is as T 28 A 2 (761)
T(762) DESIRE made the link, and only T 28 B 1 (762)

his union with him. His desire to be a sick and T 28 E 7 (774)
brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife T 29 G 1 (797)
you cannot have when you DESIRE healing. But there is no T 30 I 4 (835)
you see your own concealed desire to kill. T 31 T 31 E 15 (854)
and you will. What you desire you will see. Such is W 20 L 5 (35)

no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place, or you W 63 L 2 (116)
