Every symptom which the ego has made involves a contradiction	T 4 B 2 (71)

reach the Soul from the ego, and nothing FROM the Soul	T 4 B 4 (72)
the Soul can strengthen the ego, or reduce the conflict within	T 4 B 4 (72)
the conflict within it. The ego IS a contradiction. Mans	T 4 B 4 (72)
Soul cannot perceive and the ego cannot know. They are therefore	T 4 B 4 (72)

not be taught, but the ego MUST. T 4 B	T 4 B 4 (72)

This is the change the ego MUST fear because it does	T 4 B 5 (72)
HAVE dreamed of a separated ego, and you HAVE believed in	T 4 B 6 (72)
is IMPOSSIBLE to convince the ego of this because it goes	T 4 B 7 (72)
is natural enough for the ego to try to protect itself	T 4 B 8 (73)
YOU believe in them. The ego cannot make this choice because	T 4 B 8 (73)
teacher as merely a larger ego, you WILL be afraid, because	T 4 B 8 (73)
afraid, because to ENLARGE an ego IS to increase separation anxiety	T 4 B 8 (73)
with the effect of HIS ego on OTHER egos, and therefore	T 4 B 9 (73)
interaction as a means of ego preservation. I would not be	T 4 B 9 (73)
debatable except in delusions. Your ego is NEVER at stake because	T 4 B 10 (73)
4 B 11 The ego tries to exploit ALL situations	T 4 B 11 (73)
beyond the reach of your ego, but within easy reach of	T 4 B 11 (74)
pleased. Do not let your ego dispute this, because the ego	T 4 B 11 (74)
ego dispute this, because the ego cannot know what is as	T 4 B 11 (74)
inevitable is fearful to the ego, but joyous to the Soul	T 4 B 13 (74)
He can avoid YOU. The ego is afraid of the Soul	T 4 B 13 (74)
withdraw all protection from the ego, and become totally without the	T 4 B 13 (74)
to the separation, and your ego rejoices when you witness to	T 4 B 13 (74)
picture of them yourselves. The ego has built a shabby and	T 4 B 14 (74)
creating the perishable as the ego is of making the eternal	T 4 B 14 (75)
is a lesson for the ego, NOT for the Soul. The	T 4 B 15 (75)

with your body and your ego simply because this enables you	T 4 B 16 (75)
C. The Ego and False Autonomy	T 4 C 0 (76)
could ever have made the ego. This is a perfectly reasonable	T 4 C 1 (76)
Each man makes one ego for himself, although it is	T 4 C 2 (76)
physical presence. THINKING about another ego is as effective in changing	T 4 C 2 (76)
of the fact that the ego is an idea, though not	T 4 C 2 (76)
how the mind made the ego. You DO have knowledge at	T 4 C 3 (76)
himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to	T 4 C 4 (77)
HOW man responds to his ego, but what he believes he	T 4 C 4 (77)
5 Belief is an ego function, and as long as	T 4 C 5 (77)
ARE regarding it from an ego viewpoint. When teaching is no	T 4 C 5 (77)
the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is	T 4 C 5 (77)
hint of recognition that the ego is NOT the self. Undermining	T 4 C 5 (77)
NOT the self. Undermining the egos thought system MUST be	T 4 C 5 (77)
the concepts involved. To the ego, to give anything implies that	T 4 C 7 (77)
an inescapable law of the ego, --- Manuscript	T 4 C 7 (77)
since Freud thought of the ego as very weak and deprived	T 4 C 7 (78)
The reality principle of the ego is not real at all	T 4 C 8 (78)
not real at all. The ego is forced to perceive the	T 4 C 8 (78)
is real. Self esteem, in ego terms, means nothing more than	T 4 C 8 (78)
nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into accepting	T 4 C 8 (78)
which the delusion of the egos reality is threatened. This	T 4 C 8 (78)
is threatened. This produces either ego deflation or ego inflation, resulting	T 4 C 8 (78)
produces either ego deflation or ego inflation, resulting in either withdrawal	T 4 C 8 (78)
4 C 9 The ego literally lives by comparisons. This	T 4 C 9 (78)
and charity becomes impossible. The ego NEVER gives out of abundance	T 4 C 9 (78)
of getting arose in the egos thought system. All appetites	T 4 C 9 (78)
are getting mechanisms, representing the egos need to confirm itself	T 4 C 9 (78)
is of the so-called higher ego needs. Bodily appetites are NOT	T 4 C 9 (78)
NOT physical in origin. The ego regards the body as its	T 4 C 9 (78)
is a decision of the ego, which is completely confused about	T 4 C 9 (78)
4 C 10 The ego believes it is completely on	T 4 C 10 (78)
premise is its FOUNDATION. The ego IS the belief of the	T 4 C 10 (79)
knowledge is unaware of the ego. It does not attack it	T 4 C 11 (79)
it at all. While the ego is equally unaware of the	T 4 C 11 (79)
This is why self-esteem in ego terms MUST be a delusion	T 4 C 11 (79)
are usually related to the ego origins, and magic to the	T 4 C 12 (79)
to the powers which the ego ascribes to itself. Every mythological	T 4 C 12 (79)
is nothing more than the egos struggle to preserve itself	T 4 C 12 (79)
no one maintains that the ego existed before that point in	T 4 C 12 (79)
after a temporary lapse in ego life. Some actually believe that	T 4 C 12 (79)
that wrong-mindedness is obliterated. The ego cannot ---	T 4 C 13 (79)
meaningful perception, as far as ego thinking goes. However, valid behavior	T 4 C 14 (80)
EVERY idea to which the ego has accorded the status of	T 4 C 15 (80)
are concentrating increasingly on the ego, in an attempt to unify	T 4 C 16 (80)
We have already credited the ego with considerable ingenuity, though not	T 4 C 17 (81)
is NOT understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if	T 4 D 1 (82)
the Soul, NOT from the ego, and the Christ Mind IS	T 4 D 1 (82)
ceased to create because your ego has set you on the	T 4 D 2 (82)
fatherless than YOU are. Your ego and your Soul will never	T 4 D 2 (82)
and perfectly protected, and the ego will NOT prevail against it	T 4 D 2 (82)
its characteristically upside-down way, the ego has taken the impulses from	T 4 D 3 (82)
arise in the unconscious. The ego judges what is to be	T 4 D 3 (82)
to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The ego therefore experiences	T 4 D 3 (82)
of the ego itself. The ego therefore experiences threat, and not	T 4 D 3 (82)
BOTH are threatening to the ego and, being concerned primarily with	T 4 D 4 (82)
the face of threat, the ego perceives them AS THE SAME	T 4 D 4 (82)
actually much greater to the ego because the pull of God	T 4 D 4 (83)
them AS the same, the ego attempts to save itself from	T 4 D 4 (83)
and fear is unconscious; the ego cannot tolerate either, and represses	T 4 D 5 (83)
break through the barriers the ego has set up, and shine	T 4 D 5 (83)
Against our united strength the ego CANNOT prevail. T 4	T 4 D 5 (83)
you by now why the ego regards the Soul as its	T 4 D 6 (83)
Soul as its enemy. The ego arose from the separation, and	T 4 D 6 (83)
impulses to the unconscious, the ego has to offer you some	T 4 D 6 (83)
ever fully believe in the ego again. How can its meager	T 4 D 6 (83)
denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance to its	T 4 D 7 (83)
this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced love WITHOUT ambivalence	T 4 D 7 (84)
wanting is wholly without the egos drive to get. There	T 4 D 8 (84)
so different from anything the ego can offer that you will	T 4 D 8 (84)
not a condition as the ego sets conditions. It is the	T 4 D 8 (84)
unconscious, deeply repressed by the ego, is the declaration of your	T 4 D 12 (85)
one fact that means the ego does not exist, and which	T 4 D 12 (85)
it profoundly afraid. In the egos language, remember, to have	T 4 D 12 (85)
of the mind which the ego rules. The ego is desperate	T 4 D 13 (85)
which the ego rules. The ego is desperate because it opposes	T 4 D 13 (85)
to exert to protect your ego, and how little you have	T 4 D 13 (85)
to the voice of your ego is demonstrated by your attitudes	T 4 E 1 (85)
The glass in which the ego seeks to see its face	T 4 E 1 (86)
and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass	T 4 E 2 (86)
thinking otherwise has held your ego together, but has literally split	T 4 E 3 (86)
from the capriciousness of the ego, AND NEED NOT BE. You	T 4 E 5 (86)
be as vigilant AGAINST the egos dictates as FOR them	T 4 E 5 (86)
feel guilty, KNOW that the ego has indeed violated the laws	T 4 E 6 (86)
Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what	T 4 E 6 (86)
your mind about those your ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot	T 4 E 6 (86)
as you feel guilty your ego --- Manuscript	T 4 E 6 (86)
in command because only the ego CAN experience guilt. THIS NEED	T 4 E 6 (87)
for the temptations of the ego, and do not be deceived	T 4 E 7 (87)
AGAINST the demands of the ego to disengage yourself. THIS NEED	T 4 E 7 (87)
to me, but only the ego can BE disheartened. Have you	T 4 E 8 (87)
can unite in shining your ego away, and releasing the strength	T 4 E 9 (87)
hurt or to heal. The ego SHOULD be brought to your	T 4 E 9 (87)
it cannot exist. Judge your ego truly and you MUST withdraw	T 4 E 9 (87)
in perfect Light. To the egos dark glass you need	T 4 E 10 (87)
must shine THROUGH you. Your ego cannot prevent HIM from shining	T 4 E 10 (88)
than the end of the egos rule over part of	T 4 E 11 (88)
or awake, just as your ego does with your lower mind	T 4 E 12 (88)
NO exceptions except in the egos judgment. Control is a	T 4 F 1 (89)
central factor in what the ego permits into consciousness, and one	T 4 F 1 (89)
ITS control is unconscious. The ego is further off balance by	T 4 F 1 (89)
sensible judgment to predominance. The ego has every reason to do	T 4 F 1 (89)
would inevitably judge AGAINST the ego, and must be obliterated BY	T 4 F 1 (89)
must be obliterated BY the ego in the interest of its	T 4 F 1 (89)
A major source of the egos off-balanced state is its	T 4 F 2 (89)
state is ESSENTIAL to the ego, which judges only in terms	T 4 F 2 (89)
ITSELF. In one sense the egos fear of the idea	T 4 F 2 (89)
this idea DOES dispel the ego. Fear of dissolution from the	T 4 F 2 (89)
the body, with which the ego identifies so closely, is more	T 4 F 2 (89)
The body is the egos home by its own	T 4 F 3 (89)
only identification with which the ego feels safe because the body	T 4 F 3 (89)
is the belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego	T 4 F 3 (89)
ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body because it	T 4 F 3 (89)
dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really part	T 4 F 3 (89)
for protection? to which the ego replies, Turn to me. The	T 4 F 4 (89)
not without cause, reminds the ego that it has itself insisted	T 4 F 4 (89)
to it for protection. The ego has no real answer to	T 4 F 4 (90)
value will not last. The ego thinks it is an advantage	T 4 F 6 (90)
the one function which the ego has tried to develop, but	T 4 F 6 (90)
to learn that had the ego wished to do so it	T 4 F 6 (90)
do it, is what the ego cannot tolerate. That is because	T 4 F 6 (90)
state of clarity which the ego, fearful of being judged truly	T 4 F 6 (90)
than the dilemma itself. The ego has reacted characteristically here as	T 4 F 7 (90)
is ALWAYS a form of ego involvement, is not a matter	T 4 F 7 (90)
much as of validity. The ego compromises with the	T 4 F 7 (90)
IT OUT OF MIND. The egos characteristic busyness with non-essentials	T 4 F 7 (91)
purpose would be defeated. The ego has countenanced some strange compromises	T 4 F 8 (91)
of solution are also favorite ego devices for impeding the strong-willed	T 4 F 9 (91)
good examples. A more recent ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The	T 4 F 9 (91)
of limited immortality which the ego can tolerate, is among its	T 4 F 9 (91)
position to realize that the ego is capable of making and	T 4 F 11 (91)
relatively minor confusions of the ego are not among its more	T 4 F 12 (92)
T(93) ego. Vaguely it senses threat, and	T 4 G 2 (93)
context are the same, the ego decides that since all is	T 4 G 2 (93)
scarcity concept, and THIS the ego understands well. A little, then	T 4 G 2 (93)
to remember is that the ego DOES NOT RECOGNIZE the real	T 4 G 3 (93)
YOU associate yourself with the ego, YOU do not perceive the	T 4 G 3 (93)
allegiance to it gives the ego ANY power over you. We	T 4 G 3 (93)
We have spoken of the ego as if it were a	T 4 G 3 (93)
4 G 4 The ego is nothing more than a	T 4 G 4 (93)
4 G 6 The ego cannot withstand the conditioning process	T 4 G 6 (94)
by you and NOT the ego, the recognition ITSELF establishes that	T 4 G 6 (94)
establishes that you and your ego CANNOT be identical. You may	T 4 G 6 (94)
idea of escaping FROM the ego shows this. T 4	T 4 G 6 (94)
You CANNOT escape from the ego by humbling it or controlling	T 4 G 7 (94)
punishing it. Remember that the ego and the Soul DO NOT	T 4 G 7 (94)
natural impulses, not because the EGO is a separate thing, but	T 4 G 7 (94)
believe that YOU are. The ego is a device for maintaining	T 4 G 7 (94)
that you are NOT an ego. I repeat that I do	T 4 G 8 (94)
to associate misery with the ego and joy with the Soul	T 4 G 12 (95)
WANT the rewards of the ego in the presence of the	T 4 G 12 (95)
part that believes in the ego because the ego DEPENDS on	T 4 H 1 (96)
in the ego because the ego DEPENDS on the specific. It	T 4 H 1 (96)
H 2 Everything the ego perceives is a separate whole	T 4 H 2 (96)
relationships that imply BEING. The ego is thus AGAINST communication, except	T 4 H 2 (96)
The communication system of the ego is based on its own	T 4 H 2 (96)
classified, or judged, by the ego as coercive communication which must	T 4 H 2 (96)
The specificity of the egos thinking, then, results in	T 4 H 3 (96)
He is. He has no ego with which to accept such	T 4 H 7 (97)
the vocational orientation stresses the ego. The team approach generally leads	T 4 I 1 (99)
a way of exerting the egos domination over other egos	T 4 I 1 (99)
4 I 2 The ego is likely to fear broken	T 4 I 2 (99)
it cannot tolerate them. The ego cannot tolerate ego weakness either	T 4 I 2 (99)
them. The ego cannot tolerate ego weakness either without ambivalence because	T 4 I 2 (99)
When it is threatened, the ego blocks your natural impulse to	T 4 I 2 (99)
to withdraw to allow your ego to recover and to gain	T 4 I 2 (99)
enough NOT to threaten your ego, but too limited to give	T 4 I 2 (99)
looked down on by the ego because of its belief that	T 4 I 2 (99)
NOT concerned either with the egos fight for control, or	T 4 I 3 (99)
the false association which the ego makes between giving and LOSING	T 5 B 2 (101)
time. When man made the ego, God placed in him the	T 5 C 8 (103)
is so strong that the ego always dissolves at its sound	T 5 C 8 (103)
you because, by ADOPTING the egos viewpoint, you are undertaking	T 5 E 4 (109)
an ego-alien journey with the ego as GUIDE. This is BOUND	T 5 E 4 (109)
Delay is of the ego because time is ITS concept	T 5 E 5 (109)
Gods ANSWER to the ego. Everything of which the Holy	T 5 E 5 (109)
in direct opposition to the egos notions because true and	T 5 E 5 (109)
task of UNDOING what the ego has made. He undoes it	T 5 E 5 (109)
of discourse in which the ego itself operates, or the mind	T 5 E 5 (109)
So it is with the ego and the Soul; with time	T 5 E 6 (109)
is a belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which	T 5 E 6 (109)
lower mind, which IS the egos domain, accepts it without	T 5 E 6 (109)
not mean anything to the ego, which interprets it, at best	T 5 E 6 (109)
between the interpretations of the ego and the knowledge of the	T 5 E 7 (109)
Him to work AGAINST the egos beliefs in its own	T 5 E 7 (109)
function of REINTERPRETING what the ego makes, NOT by destruction, but	T 5 E 7 (109)
This vision invariably frightens the ego because it is so calm	T 5 E 8 (110)
so calm. Peace is the egos greatest enemy because, according	T 5 E 8 (110)
guarantee of its survival. The ego becomes strong in strife. If	T 5 E 8 (110)
IS an appeal to the ego. T 5 E 9	T 5 E 8 (110)
is as vigilant as the ego to the call of danger	T 5 E 9 (110)
His strength just as the ego WELCOMES it with all its	T 5 E 9 (110)
5 E 10 The ego is the symbol of separation	T 5 E 10 (110)
still for God. Despite the egos attempts to conceal this	T 5 E 10 (110)
still much stronger than the ego, even though the ego does	T 5 E 10 (110)
the ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The	T 5 E 10 (110)
home only in eternity. The ego made the world as IT	T 5 E 11 (111)
the REINTERPRETER of what the ego made, sees it only as	T 5 E 11 (111)
CANNOT be protected. What the ego makes it KEEPS TO ITSELF	T 5 F 4 (112)
are a device of the ego for atoning without sharing, and	T 5 F 5 (113)
asking pardon without change. The ego NEVER calls for REAL Atonement	T 5 F 5 (113)
limited to the self the ego sees. Every loving thought held	T 5 F 7 (113)
creating, and also YOURS. Your ego can keep you in exile	T 5 F 7 (113)
them without interference by the ego, so we can clarify an	T 5 F 8 (114)
Sonship IS its protection. The ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom	T 5 F 9 (114)
it is united, and the ego fades away and is undone	T 5 F 9 (114)
more personally meaningful if the egos use of guilt is	T 5 G 1 (117)
of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as	T 5 G 1 (117)
the Holy Spirit has. The egos purpose is FEAR, because	T 5 G 1 (117)
fearful can BE egotistic. The egos logic is as impeccable	T 5 G 1 (117)
makes it invulnerable to the ego because its peace is unassailable	T 5 G 2 (117)
law of division. If the ego is the symbol of the	T 5 G 2 (117)
meaningless concept EXCEPT to the ego, but do not underestimate the	T 5 G 2 (117)
underestimate the power of the egos belief in it. This	T 5 G 2 (117)
5 G 3 The ego IS the part of the	T 5 G 3 (117)
USURPING Gods power. The ego believes that this is what	T 5 G 3 (117)
if you identify WITH the ego, you MUST perceive yourself as	T 5 G 3 (117)
Whenever you respond to your ego you WILL experience guilt, and	T 5 G 3 (117)
you WILL fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful	T 5 G 3 (117)
mind, never forget that the ego is NOT sane. It represents	T 5 G 4 (117)
FOR it. Listening to the egos voice MEANS that you	T 5 G 4 (117)
real. If you enthrone the ego in it, the fact that	T 5 G 5 (118)
5 G 6 The ego does not perceive sin as	T 5 G 6 (118)
which is necessary to the egos survival because, as soon	T 5 G 6 (118)
And you will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but	T 5 G 6 (118)
form of magical solution. The ego believes that by punishing ITSELF	T 5 G 7 (118)
5 G 8 The ego cannot OPPOSE the laws of	T 5 G 8 (118)
The Holy Spirit, like the ego, is a decision. Together they	T 5 G 9 (119)
can accept and obey. The ego and the Holy Spirit are	T 5 G 9 (119)
the past. This is the egos continuity, and gives it	T 5 H 3 (120)
and make it free. Your ego cannot accept this freedom, and	T 5 H 3 (120)
or almost simultaneously, for the ego always speaks first. Alternate interpretations	T 5 H 4 (121)
itself was unnecessary before the ego was made. T 5	T 5 H 4 (121)
5 H 5 The ego speaks in judgment and the	T 5 H 5 (121)
laws of this world. The egos decisions are ALWAYS wrong	T 5 H 5 (121)
made to uphold. NOTHING the ego perceives is interpreted correctly. Not	T 5 H 5 (121)
a fearful thing to the ego because of its prejudiced judgment	T 5 H 5 (121)
examples to see how the egos interpretations have misled you	T 5 H 6 (121)
have misled you. A favorite ego quotation is As ye sow	T 5 H 6 (121)
generation, as interpreted by the ego, is particularly vicious. It is	T 5 H 8 (121)
undone is fearful to the ego, which interprets I am undone	T 5 H 8 (122)
5 H 9 The ego will NOT be destroyed because	T 5 H 9 (122)
you have given to the ego will merely return to the	T 5 H 9 (122)
your whole mind BELONGS. The ego is a form of arrest	T 5 H 9 (122)
concept of punishment, although the ego welcomes that interpretation. You CAN	T 5 H 9 (122)
we made before to the egos dark glass, and remember	T 5 H 10 (122)
from the Atonement is the egos last-ditch defense of its	T 5 I 10 (126)
existence. It reflects both the egos need to separate, and	T 5 I 10 (126)
assault, as judged by the ego, did not matter. As the	T 6 B 10 (131)
symbol of conflict between the ego and the Son of God	T 6 B 18 (133)
C 2 In the egos use of projection, to	T 6 C 2 (134)
SOLELY a device of the ego to make you feel DIFFERENT	T 6 C 3 (134)
and separated from them. The ego justifies this on the wholly	T 6 C 3 (134)
6 C 4 The ego uses projection ONLY to distort	T 6 C 4 (134)
projection. Every ability of the ego has a better counterpart because	T 6 C 4 (134)
135) the ego utilizes projection, but since their	T 6 C 4 (135)
of Gods knowing. The egos perception HAS no counterpart	T 6 C 7 (135)
it and KNOW it. The ego would prefer to believe that	T 6 C 7 (135)
THE SEPARATION NEVER OCCURRED. The ego cannot prevail against this because	T 6 C 10 (136)
an explicit statement that the EGO never occurred. T 6	T 6 C 10 (136)
6 C 11 The ego CAN accept the idea that	T 6 C 11 (136)
The difference between the egos use of projection and	T 6 C 13 (137)
it is very simple. The ego projects to EXCLUDE, and therefore	T 6 C 13 (137)
perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy	T 6 C 14 (137)
correct here, even though the ego does NOT know, and is	T 6 D 1 (138)
can never BE defiled. The ego never was and never will	T 6 D 2 (138)
of it, but THROUGH the ego you can hear and teach	T 6 D 2 (138)
exact OPPOSITE of everything the ego believes. This is how YOU	T 6 D 5 (139)
ANSWER, NOT the question. The ego always speaks first because it	T 6 E 1 (140)
longer need His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as	T 6 E 1 (140)
is impossible. YOU made the ego without love, and so it	T 6 E 2 (140)
WITHOUT it. This enables the ego to regard itself as separate	T 6 E 2 (140)
the Mind of God. The ego, then, raised the first question	T 6 E 2 (140)
6 E 3 The ego has never answered ANY questions	T 6 E 3 (140)
most inventive activities of the ego have never done more than	T 6 E 3 (140)
HAVE the answer, and THE EGO IS AFRAID OF YOU. You	T 6 E 3 (140)
one basic fact that the ego does NOT know. The Holy	T 6 E 3 (140)
6 E 4 The ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit	T 6 E 4 (140)
side with it, and the ego feels badly in need of	T 6 E 4 (140)
itself in your mind, the ego turns to the body, NOT	T 6 E 4 (141)
This makes the body the egos friend. It is an	T 6 E 4 (141)
6 E 5 The ego and the body conspire AGAINST	T 6 E 5 (141)
your minds, and because the ego realizes that its enemy CAN	T 6 E 5 (141)
what it really involves. The ego, which is NOT real, attempts	T 6 E 5 (141)
ALL the questions which the ego raises. You are a Child	T 6 E 6 (141)
have contained many of the egos symbols, and they have	T 6 E 6 (141)
kind of reasoning which the ego engages in, but God, Who	T 6 E 10 (142)
be as impossible as the egos notion that IT has	T 6 E 10 (142)
of communication arose as the egos voice. It could not	T 6 E 12 (143)
When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone	T 6 F 5 (144)
other impossible solution which the ego attempts, IT WILL NOT WORK	T 6 F 5 (144)
always, He re-interprets what the ego uses as an argument FOR	T 6 F 6 (144)
LOSE WHAT YOU COMMUNICATE. The ego uses the body for attack	T 6 F 9 (145)
aware of the ego in himself, and responding primarily	T 6 G 4 (148)
and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is being	T 6 G 4 (148)
Upside-down as always, the ego perceives the first lesson as	T 6 G 5 (148)
that IT is insane. The egos judgment, then, is predetermined	T 6 G 5 (148)
only one is REAL. The ego tries to persuade you that	T 6 G 7 (148)
the Holy Spirit rejects the ego ACCEPTS. This is because they	T 6 H 2 (150)
about WHAT YOU ARE. The egos beliefs on this crucial	T 6 H 2 (150)
be as vigilant AGAINST the ego as FOR it. This lesson	T 6 H 5 (151)
ON GODS BEHALF. The ego speaks AGAINST His creation, and	T 6 H 9 (152)
7 B 1 The ego demands reciprocal rights, because it	T 7 B 1 (154)
The term intrapersonal is an ego term, because personal implies of	T 7 C 4 (157)
because abilities began with the ego, which perceived them as POTENTIALS	T 7 D 3 (159)
EXCELLING. This is how the ego STILL perceives them and uses	T 7 D 3 (159)
7 D 4 The ego does not WANT to teach	T 7 D 4 (159)
you to use what the ego has made to teach the	T 7 D 4 (159)
OPPOSITE of what the ego has learned. The KIND of	T 7 D 4 (160)
that this was NOT the egos reason for learning is	T 7 D 4 (160)
ALL effort. He ADAPTS the egos potentials for excelling to	T 7 D 5 (160)
makes them USELESS for the egos purpose, but VERY useful	T 7 D 5 (160)
learned THIS course. To the ego there appears to be no	T 7 D 6 (160)
be no connection because the EGO is discontinuous. Yet the Holy	T 7 D 6 (160)
UNREAL. This is why the ego is insane; it teaches that	T 7 E 1 (161)
as well, even though the ego DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT	T 7 E 1 (161)
7 E 2 The ego, then IS always being undone	T 7 E 2 (161)
unified in allegiance to the ego, because the mind does NOT	T 7 E 2 (161)
what is treacherous to the ego IS faithful to peace. The	T 7 E 2 (161)
IS faithful to peace. The egos enemy is therefore YOUR	T 7 E 2 (161)
We said before that the egos friend is not part	T 7 E 2 (161)
part of you, since the ego perceives itself as at war	T 7 E 2 (161)
be the voice of the ego. T 7 E 8	T 7 E 7 (163)
forgetting the laws of the ego. We said before that forgetting	T 7 E 9 (163)
the way in which the ego tries to use ALL abilities	T 7 E 10 (163)
7 E 11 The egos goal is as unified	T 7 E 11 (163)
164) The ego ALWAYS seeks to divide and	T 7 E 11 (164)
but a real DELUSION. The ego believes that it HAS this	T 7 E 12 (164)
the sense of danger the ego has induced in YOU by	T 7 E 13 (164)
DECISION. The effects of the egos decision in this matter	T 7 F 1 (165)
ONLY minds communicate. Since the ego CANNOT obliterate the impulse to	T 7 F 2 (165)
the impulse to create, the ego can only teach you that	T 7 F 2 (165)
not NEED the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you	T 7 F 2 (165)
he does not accept the egos confusion of mind and	T 7 F 3 (165)
in the service of the ego can hurt other BODIES, but	T 7 F 3 (165)
as you learn through the ego. This DOES place you in	T 7 F 10 (167)
him UNDO the change his ego thinks it has made in	T 7 F 11 (167)
appreciation, and in love. The ego is totally unable to understand	T 7 F 12 (167)
create depending on whether the ego or the Holy Spirit begets	T 7 G 1 (169)
The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself is enormous	T 7 G 3 (169)
of the mind which the ego DENIES. This means that the	T 7 G 3 (169)
DENIES. This means that the ego ATTACKS what is PRESERVING it	T 7 G 3 (169)
anxiety. That is why the ego NEVER knows what it is	T 7 G 3 (169)
logical, but clearly insane. The ego draws upon the one source	T 7 G 3 (169)
logical but still insane, the ego resolves this completely insane dilemma	T 7 G 4 (169)
know your OWN safety. The ego cannot afford to know ANYTHING	T 7 G 4 (170)
Knowledge is total, and the ego does not BELIEVE in totality	T 7 G 4 (170)
its origin, and while the ego does not love YOU, it	T 7 G 4 (170)
produced. Produced by fear, the ego reproduces fear. This is its	T 7 G 5 (170)
is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also	T 7 G 5 (170)
who has everything WANTS the ego. Its own maker, then, does	T 7 G 5 (170)
the only decision which the ego could possibly encounter, if the	T 7 G 5 (170)
7 G 6 The ego therefore opposes ALL appreciation, ALL	T 7 G 6 (170)
have repeatedly emphasized that the ego DOES believe it can attack	T 7 G 9 (171)
the mind CANNOT attack, the ego proceeds perfectly logically to the	T 7 G 9 (171)
Aware of its weakness the ego wants your allegiance, but not	T 7 G 9 (171)
as you really are. The ego therefore wants to engage your	T 7 G 9 (171)
7 G 10 The ego wants no part of truth	T 7 G 10 (171)
the truth is that the EGO is not true. IF truth	T 7 G 10 (171)
to you to decide. The ego believes this totally, being FULLY	T 7 G 11 (171)
It is not true. The ego therefore is totally committed to	T 7 G 11 (171)
all the world of the ego is. NOTHING. It has no	T 7 G 13 (172)
basis for ALL of the egos projection. T 7	T 7 H 9 (176)
without allegiance to God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting	T 7 H 10 (176)
Perceive ANY part of the egos thought system as wholly	T 7 H 12 (176)
gifts you offer to the ego are ALWAYS experienced as sacrifices	T 7 H 12 (177)
Mind of God. To the ego, the law is perceived as	T 7 I 1 (178)
law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of	T 7 I 2 (178)
every mind IS life. The egos use of projection must	T 7 I 2 (178)
7 I 3 The ego ALWAYS tries to preserve conflict	T 7 I 3 (178)
giving it up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade you that	T 7 I 3 (178)
conflict, lest you give the EGO up and free YOURSELF. The	T 7 I 3 (178)
up and free YOURSELF. The ego, using its own warped version	T 7 I 3 (178)
those who project from the ego are vigilant for their OWN	T 7 I 5 (179)
CAN, a fallacy which the ego ALWAYS makes, underlies its whole	T 7 I 6 (179)
on your mind because the ego IS your belief. The ego	T 7 I 6 (179)
ego IS your belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in	T 7 I 6 (179)
NOT BE AFRAID OF THE EGO. It DOES depend on your	T 7 I 7 (179)
accept sole responsibility for the egos existence YOURSELF you will	T 7 I 7 (179)
His perception IS true. The ego can be completely forgotten at	T 7 I 8 (179)
you learn about the ego, the more you realize that	T 7 I 8 (180)
to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and will forever	T 7 I 9 (180)
unbelievable. You who made the ego by believing the unbelievable cannot	T 7 I 9 (180)
God. Selfishness is of the ego, but self-fullness is of the	T 7 J 1 (180)
mind that lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating between	T 7 J 1 (180)
of the Soul. To the ego this is partiality, and it	T 7 J 1 (180)
and equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a totality	T 7 J 2 (180)
Creator. Fullness IS extension. The egos whole thought system blocks	T 7 J 3 (181)
the whole result of the egos premises. The Kingdom is	T 7 J 7 (182)
You HAVE carried the egos reasoning to its logical	T 7 J 8 (182)
willing to look at the egos premises, but NOT at	T 7 J 8 (182)
you IS painful to the ego, and as long as you	T 7 K 1 (183)
WILL be giving up the ego. But you will be sacrificing	T 7 K 1 (183)
because it IS His. The egos wishes do not mean	T 7 K 2 (183)
not mean anything, because the ego wishes for the impossible. You	T 7 K 2 (183)
with God. This is the egos weakness, and YOUR strength	T 7 K 2 (183)
asks for sacrifice, but the ego ALWAYS does. When you are	T 7 K 3 (184)
false decision-making prerogative, which the ego guards so jealously, is not	T 7 K 5 (184)
everything. This is because the ego perceives nothing as wholly desirable	T 7 L 1 (185)
away so readily, when the ego asks for your allegiance. The	T 8 A 2 (188)
allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to interfere with your	T 8 A 2 (188)
with your learning, but the ego HAS no power to distract	T 8 A 2 (188)
8 A 3 The egos voice is an hallucination	T 8 A 3 (188)
you. Every response to the ego is a call to war	T 8 A 3 (188)
learn it of Him. The ego does not KNOW what it	T 8 C 1 (189)
are WITHOUT knowing it. The ego is expert only in confusion	T 8 C 1 (189)
could learn nothing from the ego because the ego KNOWS nothing	T 8 C 1 (190)
from the ego because the ego KNOWS nothing. T 8	T 8 C 1 (190)
turn to find HIMSELF? The ego has never given you a	T 8 C 2 (190)
your own experience with the egos teaching, should not this	T 8 C 2 (190)
your future teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm to	T 8 C 2 (190)
8 C 3 The ego cannot teach you anything as	T 8 C 3 (190)
free. That is why the ego is the DENIAL of free	T 8 C 3 (190)
the undoing of EVERYTHING the ego tries to teach. It is	T 8 C 3 (190)
8 C 4 The ego wants to teach you that	T 8 C 4 (190)
BECAUSE they are yours. The ego tries to find them in	T 8 D 5 (193)
you CANNOT listen to the ego. ITS purpose is to DEFEAT	T 8 D 7 (193)
DEFEAT its own goal. The ego does not know this because	T 8 D 7 (193)
to look at what the ego has made of YOU. This	T 8 D 7 (193)
be excluded from them. The ego teaches that your strength is	T 8 D 8 (193)
you are uniting WITHOUT the ego because I have renounced the	T 8 E 15 (199)
because I have renounced the ego in myself, and therefore CANNOT	T 8 E 15 (199)
the way to renounce the ego in YOURSELF. The truth in	T 8 E 15 (199)
of us is BEYOND the ego. By willing that, you HAVE	T 8 E 15 (199)
Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and	T 8 E 15 (199)
it is ALWAYS because the ego has attempted to join the	T 8 E 16 (199)
and angered by it, the ego regards itself as rejected and	T 8 E 16 (199)
your companion INSTEAD of the ego. Do not try to hold	T 8 E 16 (199)
8 E 17 The egos way is not mine	T 8 E 17 (199)
of us. Never accord the ego the power to interfere with	T 8 E 17 (199)
beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you back. I	T 8 E 17 (199)
because I AM beyond the ego. Reach, therefore, for my hand	T 8 E 17 (199)
you WANT to transcend the ego. My will will NEVER be	T 8 E 17 (199)
a body. This is the egos INTERPRETATION of the body	T 8 G 1 (203)
of what HE is. The ego SEPARATES through the body. The	T 8 G 2 (203)
by chaos. Guided by the ego, it IS. Guided by the	T 8 G 9 (205)
RETURN to the Soul. The egos temple thus becomes the	T 8 G 9 (205)
Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense the body	T 8 G 9 (205)
are attitudes toward ATTACK. The egos definitions of EVERYTHING are	T 8 H 1 (208)
what it IS. To the ego, the body is to ATTACK	T 8 H 1 (208)
health AND sickness possible. The ego makes a fundamental confusion between	T 8 H 3 (208)
body as an end, the ego has no REAL use for	T 8 H 3 (208)
of every end that the ego has accepted as its own	T 8 H 3 (208)
YOU. This is why the ego is forced to shift from	T 8 H 3 (208)
particularly difficult to overcome the egos belief in the body	T 8 H 4 (208)
end. The ego has a real INVESTMENT in	T 8 H 4 (209)
can you OBJECT to the egos firm belief that you	T 8 H 4 (209)
particularly appealing argument from the egos point of view because	T 8 H 4 (209)
this false witness to the egos stand. T 8	T 8 H 4 (209)
witness on behalf of the egos views. A more honest	T 8 H 5 (209)
follows: Those who WANT the ego are predisposed to defend it	T 8 H 5 (209)
suspect from the beginning. The ego does not call upon witnesses	T 8 H 5 (209)
perfectly equipped to fulfill. The ego, as a judge, gives anything	T 8 H 5 (209)
an impartial judgment. When the ego calls on a witness, it	T 8 H 5 (209)
is NOT an end. The ego, however, establishes it AS an	T 8 H 6 (209)
the purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole aim is	T 8 H 6 (209)
basic premises on which the egos interpretation of the body	T 8 H 6 (209)
depend on EXTERNAL guidance. The ego uses this as its best	T 8 H 7 (209)
because you have ACCEPTED the egos confusion, and YOU think	T 8 H 8 (210)
NOT KNOW THE ANSWER. The ego is INCAPABLE of knowing how	T 8 H 8 (210)
When we said that the ego does not know ANYTHING, we	T 8 H 8 (210)
the one thing about the ego that IS wholly true. But	T 8 H 8 (210)
knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the	T 8 H 8 (210)
has no knowledge, then the ego has no BEING. T	T 8 H 8 (210)
No one can doubt the egos skill in building up	T 8 H 9 (210)
truth. When YOU lay the ego aside, it will be gone	T 8 H 9 (210)
answer to everything IS. The ego does not know what a	T 8 I 1 (211)
question the value of the ego, and thus establish your ability	T 8 I 1 (211)
evaluate its questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness, do	T 8 I 1 (211)
merely be to accept the egos belief that the body	T 8 I 1 (211)
of joining, taking on the egos distortions about what joining	T 8 I 3 (211)
8 I 6 The ego, which always WEAKENS the will	T 8 I 6 (212)
to DESTROY it, yet the ego actually believes that it is	T 8 I 6 (212)
it. This is because the ego believes that MIND IS DANGEROUS	T 8 I 6 (212)
of what God created. The ego DESPISES weakness, even though it	T 8 I 6 (212)
effort to INDUCE it. The ego WANTS only what it hates	T 8 I 6 (212)
what it hates. To the ego this is perfectly sensible. Believing	T 8 I 6 (212)
the power of attack, the ego WANTS attack. T 8	T 8 I 6 (212)
Your will is NOT the egos, and that is WHY	T 8 J 1 (214)
and that is WHY the ego is against you. What seems	T 8 J 1 (214)
desire which stems from the ego IS a desire for nothing	T 8 J 11 (216)
T(217) ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit	T 8 J 11 (217)
The alertness of the ego to the errors which other	T 9 A 1 (223)
sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right	T 9 A 1 (223)
makes perfect sense to the ego, which is totally unaware of	T 9 A 1 (223)
Errors ARE of the ego, and correction of errors of	T 9 A 2 (223)
in the RELINQUISHMENT of the ego. When you correct a brother	T 9 A 2 (223)
he is speaking from the ego, he WILL be making no	T 9 A 2 (223)
a Son of God. His ego is always wrong, no matter	T 9 A 2 (223)
errors of your brothers ego, you must be seeing through	T 9 A 3 (223)
communication at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The	T 9 A 3 (223)
and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the	T 9 A 3 (223)
you ARE listening to your ego, and making as little sense	T 9 B 1 (223)
be the arrogance of the ego. Correction is of God, Who	T 9 B 4 (224)
through the eyes of the ego, or you will judge them	T 9 C 3 (225)
9 C 4 The ego, too, has a plan of	T 9 C 4 (225)
of the right teacher. The egos plan, of course, MAKES	T 9 C 4 (225)
impossible situation, to which the ego ALWAYS leads you. The ego	T 9 C 4 (225)
ego ALWAYS leads you. The egos plan is to have	T 9 C 4 (225)
This is where the ego is forced to appeal to	T 9 C 5 (226)
respects, He teaches that the ego does not exist, and PROVES	T 9 C 6 (226)
is so typical of the ego that you should be quite	T 9 C 7 (226)
with it by now. The ego believes that ALL functions belong	T 9 C 7 (226)
makes it likely that the ego will attack anyone and anything	T 9 C 7 (226)
This is exactly what the ego DOES. It is TOTALLY unpredictable	T 9 C 7 (226)
reactions, whether they place the ego in a very sound position	T 9 C 8 (227)
to emphasize repeatedly that the egos qualifications as a guide	T 9 C 8 (227)
standard as I have. The ego literally lives on borrowed time	T 9 C 9 (227)
do not wait, for the egos time is borrowed from	T 9 C 9 (227)
of fantasy are of the ego, and of THESE you will	T 9 C 10 (227)
9 D 1 The egos plan for forgiveness is	T 9 D 1 (228)
and is therefore of the ego. Let us consider the unhealed	T 9 D 1 (228)
stated that beliefs of the ego cannot be shared, and this	T 9 D 2 (228)
All unhealed healers follow the egos plan for forgiveness in	T 9 D 3 (228)
merely to IDENTIFY with the ego, and by perceiving clearly what	T 9 D 3 (228)
The newer forms of the egos plan are as unhelpful	T 9 D 4 (228)
the newer forms of the egos plan, the therapist interprets	T 9 D 4 (228)
plan, the therapist interprets the egos symbols in the nightmare	T 9 D 4 (228)
a contradiction even in the egos terms, and one which	T 9 D 5 (229)
fearer, how can this build ego STRENGTH? These perfectly self-evident inconsistencies	T 9 D 5 (229)
D 6 BECAUSE His ego is involved, it always attempts	T 9 D 6 (229)
magic. Both forms of the egos approach, then, must arrive	T 9 D 7 (229)
impossible situation to which the ego ALWAYS leads. It CAN be	T 9 D 7 (229)
overlooked. That is because the ego is AFRAID of the obvious	T 9 F 2 (233)
mind because HE is. The ego is also in your mind	T 9 F 3 (233)
Holy Spirits because the ego does NOT love you. It	T 9 F 3 (233)
perceptions are so shifting. The ego is therefore capable of suspiciousness	T 9 F 3 (233)
forgets what you ARE. The ego is deceived by everything you	T 9 F 4 (234)
times its confusion INCREASES. The ego is, therefore, particularly likely to	T 9 F 4 (234)
9 F 5 The ego will begin to ATTACK your	T 9 F 5 (234)
you are AGREEING with the egos evaluation of what you	T 9 F 5 (234)
Would you look to the ego to help you escape from	T 9 F 5 (234)
question is meaningless within the egos thought system because it	T 9 F 6 (234)
We said before that the ego does not know what a	T 9 F 7 (234)
ALL knowledge and keep the egos WHOLE thought system intact	T 9 F 7 (234)
against the reality of the egos thought system merely because	T 9 F 7 (235)
me. Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not	T 9 F 7 (235)
however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically because, in the presence	T 9 G 1 (235)
God, the meaninglessness of the ego becomes perfectly apparent. Though it	T 9 G 1 (235)
does not understand this, the ego believes that its enemy has	T 9 G 1 (235)
its protection. SELF-inflation of the ego is its alternative to the	T 9 G 1 (235)
We said before that the ego vacillates between suspiciousness and viciousness	T 9 G 2 (235)
9 G 3 The ego does not know the difference	T 9 G 3 (236)
We once said that the ego IS aware of threat, but	T 9 G 3 (236)
9 G 4 The ego is immobilized in the presence	T 9 G 4 (236)
your reality literally drives the ego from your mind because of	T 9 G 4 (236)
you do not allow the ego to attack it. The ego	T 9 G 4 (236)
ego to attack it. The ego will make every effort to	T 9 G 4 (236)
9 G 6 The ego depends SOLELY on your willingness	T 9 G 6 (236)
therefore you cannot WANT the ego. Your grandeur is Gods	T 9 G 6 (236)
Gods ANSWER to the ego because it is true. Littleness	T 9 G 6 (236)
would have you replace the egos belief in littleness with	T 9 G 11 (238)
that is exactly what the ego DOES perceive in a Son	T 9 I 11 (243)
the logical conclusion of the egos thought system, and judge	T 9 I 11 (243)
denial of God is the egos religion. The god of	T 9 K 3 (248)
10 - GOD AND THE EGO A. Introduction	T 10 0 0 (252)
Either God or the ego is insane. If you will	T 10 A 1 (252)
true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a partial thought system	T 10 A 1 (252)
conflict? If YOU made the ego, how can the ego have	T 10 A 2 (252)
the ego, how can the ego have made you? The authority	T 10 A 2 (252)
of perceived conflict, because the ego was made out of the	T 10 A 2 (252)
Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing more than	T 10 A 2 (252)
with perfect honesty, but the ego never looks upon what it	T 10 A 2 (252)
thought system. And either the ego, which you made, IS your	T 10 A 2 (252)
to the foundation of the egos thought system, the darker	T 10 B 1 (252)
to the foundation of the egos thought system bravely. Be	T 10 B 1 (252)
last looked at the egos foundation without shrinking, you	T 10 B 2 (253)
The projection of the ego makes it appear as if	T 10 B 11 (255)
Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His	T 10 C 5 (257)
you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You	T 10 C 7 (257)
without your invitation, and the ego is nothing whether you invite	T 10 C 7 (257)
KNOW yourself, for ONLY the ego blames at all. Self-blame is	T 10 E 5 (263)
at all. Self-blame is therefore ego identification, and as strong an	T 10 E 5 (263)
identification, and as strong an ego defense as blaming others. YOU	T 10 E 5 (263)
F. The Dynamics of the Ego T 10	T 10 F 0 (265)
look more closely at the egos thought system because, together	T 10 F 1 (265)
truth. The dynamics of the ego will be our lesson for	T 10 F 1 (265)
us begin this lesson in ego dynamics by understanding that the	T 10 F 3 (265)
in the belief that the ego has the power to do	T 10 F 3 (265)
power to do ANYTHING. The ego is fearful to you BECAUSE	T 10 F 3 (265)
When we look at the ego, then, we are not considering	T 10 F 4 (265)
inappropriate if one recognizes the egos GOAL, which is so	T 10 F 4 (265)
NECESSARILY expended on nothing. The egos goal is quite explicitly	T 10 F 4 (266)
s goal is quite explicitly ego AUTONOMY. From the beginning, then	T 10 F 4 (266)
Everything that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of	T 10 F 5 (266)
experience, then, is between the egos idle wishes and the	T 10 F 5 (266)
HIM. Do not ascribe the egos arrogance to Him Who	T 10 F 6 (266)
from Him? The belief in EGO autonomy is costing you the	T 10 F 6 (266)
WHICH YOUR FREEDOM LIES. The ego sees ALL dependency as threatening	T 10 F 6 (266)
10 F 7 The ego ALWAYS attacks on behalf of	T 10 F 7 (266)
autonomy IS nothing else. The ego is totally confused about reality	T 10 F 7 (266)
that the LAST thing the ego wishes you to realize is	T 10 F 8 (266)
OF IT. For if the ego gives ---	T 10 F 8 (266)
10 F 9 The ego can and does allow you	T 10 F 9 (267)
NOT its undoing, is the egos constant effort, and is	T 10 F 9 (267)
quite apart from how the EGO wants you to experience it	T 10 F 10 (267)
it, is therefore the basic ego threat. Its dream of autonomy	T 10 F 10 (267)
IS the cost, and the ego CANNOT minimize it. For if	T 10 F 10 (267)
F 11 If the egos goal of autonomy could	T 10 F 11 (267)
the true. According to the egos teaching, ITS goal can	T 10 F 11 (267)
IT EXISTS IN TRUTH. The ego believes that to accomplish ITS	T 10 F 12 (268)
will. Recognize only that the egos goal, which you have	T 10 F 12 (268)
fear, this IS what the ego would have you believe. Yet	T 10 F 13 (268)
10 F 14 The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit ACCEPTS	T 10 F 14 (268)
characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that	T 10 F 14 (268)
everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power, understanding and	T 10 F 14 (268)
that separation IS salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by	T 10 F 14 (268)
and thus without meaning. The ego will ALWAYS substitute chaos for	T 10 F 14 (268)
10 F 15 The egos interpretations of the laws	T 10 F 15 (268)
the Holy Spirits. The ego focuses on ERROR, and overlooks	T 10 F 15 (268)
it has made real, the ego proceeds to the next step	T 10 F 15 (269)
10 F 16 The ego makes no attempt to understand	T 10 F 16 (269)
clearly NOT understandable, but the ego does make EVERY attempt to	T 10 F 16 (269)
Analyzing to attack meaning, the ego DOES succeed in overlooking it	T 10 F 16 (269)
underestimate the appeal of the egos demonstrations to those who	T 10 F 17 (269)
MUST be deluded. Can the ego teach truly when it OVERLOOKS	T 10 F 17 (269)
what it has denied! The ego looks straight at the Father	T 10 F 17 (269)
through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His	T 10 F 18 (269)
for Christ or for the ego, --- Manuscript	T 10 F 19 (269)
triumph of Christ over the ego, not by attack, but by	T 10 G 1 (271)
Christ DOES rise above the ego and all its works, and	T 10 G 1 (271)
10 H 3 The ego sees SOME good, but never	T 10 H 3 (274)
IT. The analysis of the egos real motivation is the	T 11 B 3 (281)
in the undoing of the ego. Consider how well the Holy	T 11 B 6 (282)
you are believing that the EGO is to be saved, and	T 11 D 3 (287)
are. Poverty is of the ego, and NEVER of God. No	T 11 D 4 (288)
To identify with the ego is to attack yourself and	T 11 D 6 (288)
everyone who identifies with the ego feels deprived. What he EXPERIENCES	T 11 D 6 (288)
its source as his own EGO IDENTIFICATION, and he ALWAYS tries	T 11 D 6 (288)
your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone believes that	T 11 D 7 (288)
11 E 1 The ego is certain that love is	T 11 E 1 (290)
everyone who believes that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged	T 11 E 1 (290)
search for love. Yet the ego, though encouraging the search very	T 11 E 1 (290)
is the one promise the ego holds out to you, and	T 11 E 1 (290)
it will KEEP. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic	T 11 E 1 (290)
The search which the ego undertakes is therefore bound to	T 11 E 2 (290)
in perceived SELF-defeat. For the ego CANNOT love, and in its	T 11 E 2 (290)
search is inevitable because the ego is part of your mind	T 11 E 2 (290)
because of its source, the ego is not wholly split off	T 11 E 2 (290)
the power to DENY the egos existence, and you will	T 11 E 2 (290)
journey is on which the ego sets you. T 11	T 11 E 2 (290)
Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in	T 11 E 3 (290)
would HAVE to abandon the egos guidance, for it would	T 11 E 3 (290)
response pattern you NEED. The ego will therefore DISTORT love, and	T 11 E 3 (291)
forth the responses which the ego CAN teach. Follow its teaching	T 11 E 3 (291)
Do you realize that the ego must set you on a	T 11 E 4 (291)
We have said that the egos rule is, Seek and	T 11 F 7 (294)
11 G 1 The ego is trying to teach you	T 11 G 1 (296)
seek you WILL find. The ego finds what IT seeks, and	T 11 H 6 (300)
The death penalty is the egos ultimate goal, for it	T 11 H 14 (302)
death penalty never leaves the egos mind, for that is	T 11 H 14 (302)
11 H 15 The ego is not a traitor to	T 11 H 15 (303)
to the voice of the ego, which tells you that you	T 11 H 15 (303)
God and NOT from the ego because, by confusing yourself WITH	T 11 H 15 (303)
by confusing yourself WITH the ego, you believe that YOU want	T 11 H 15 (303)
salvation, and this is the EGOS interpretation, NOT Gods	T 11 J 3 (307)
is the proof that the ego never was and can never	T 11 J 6 (308)
never be. Without guilt the ego HAS no life, and God	T 11 J 6 (308)
your minds to ensure the egos continuity. For if what	T 11 J 12 (310)
been WILL be punished, the egos continuity is guaranteed. Yet	T 11 J 12 (310)
is Gods, not the egos. And immortality is the	T 11 J 12 (310)
for it. This is the egos plan, which it offers	T 11 J 14 (310)
INSTEAD of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through ATTACK	T 11 J 14 (310)
but by identifying WITH the ego could you hold dear what	T 11 J 14 (310)
11 J 15 The ego teaches you to attack yourself	T 11 J 15 (310)
RESULT of attack. In the egos teaching, then, there IS	T 11 J 15 (310)
purpose of projection as the ego uses it is ALWAYS to	T 12 A 1 (312)
of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the ego attempts to get rid of	T 12 A 1 (312)
only, for much as the ego wants to retain guilt, YOU	T 12 A 1 (312)
to retain guilt, as the ego insists, YOU CANNOT BE YOU	T 12 A 1 (312)
IT is you could the ego possibly induce you to project	T 12 A 1 (312)
how strange a solution the egos arrangement is. You project	T 12 A 2 (312)
with a weird assortment of ego ideals, which the ego claims	T 12 A 2 (312)
of ego ideals, which the ego claims you have failed. Yet	T 12 A 2 (312)
lies hidden there, for the egos destructive urge is so	T 12 B 1 (312)
2 Much of the egos strange behavior is directly	T 12 B 2 (312)
definition of guilt. To the ego, THE GUILTLESS ARE GUILTY. Those	T 12 B 2 (312)
and deepest cornerstone in the egos foundation, and while the	T 12 B 2 (312)
s foundation, and while the ego can withstand your raising all	T 12 B 2 (312)
look upon calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against truth	T 12 B 2 (313)
and in ITS presence the ego is dispelled. T 12	T 12 B 2 (313)
uncovered its source. For the ego DOES want to kill you	T 12 B 3 (313)
is the symbol of the ego. When it was confronted with	T 12 B 4 (313)
blasphemous to God. To the ego THE EGO is god, and	T 12 B 4 (313)
God. To the ego THE EGO is god, and guiltlessness MUST	T 12 B 4 (313)
you do NOT dismiss the EGOS thought system. You have	T 12 B 5 (313)
recognized the futility of the ego and its offerings, but though	T 12 B 6 (314)
you do not want the ego you do not look upon	T 12 B 6 (314)
could look even upon the egos darkest cornerstone without fear	T 12 C 2 (315)
not believe that, WITHOUT the ego, you would find within yourself	T 12 C 2 (315)
is of REDEMPTION. Under the egos dark foundation is the	T 12 C 2 (315)
For still deeper than the egos foundation, and much stronger	T 12 C 3 (315)
into the blackness of the egos foundation, the closer you	T 12 C 5 (316)
of God than of the ego, and love cannot enter where	T 12 C 6 (316)
in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches that your function on	T 12 D 1 (319)
12 D 4 The ego has a very strange notion	T 12 D 4 (319)
questioning might well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past	T 12 D 4 (319)
an intervening present. For the ego uses the present ONLY as	T 12 D 4 (320)
has no meaning to the ego. The present merely reminds it	T 12 D 5 (320)
it WERE the past. The ego cannot tolerate RELEASE from the	T 12 D 5 (320)
past is no more, the ego tries to preserve its image	T 12 D 5 (320)
effect, if you follow the egos dictates, you will react	T 12 D 5 (320)
release in the present. The ego would PRESERVE your nightmares, and	T 12 D 6 (320)
holy because YOU are. The ego teaches that you always encounter	T 12 D 7 (321)
the exact opposite of the egos. The reason is equally	T 12 D 7 (321)
12 D 9 The ego, on the other hand, regards	T 12 D 9 (321)
like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time	T 12 D 9 (321)
is the only purpose the ego perceives in time, and it	T 12 D 9 (321)
is left to you. The ego wants to HAVE things for	T 12 G 10 (332)
its OWN sake is the egos fundamental creed, a basic	T 12 G 10 (332)
11 Everything that the ego tells you that you need	T 12 G 11 (332)
hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again	T 12 G 11 (332)
the dust. For where the ego sees salvation it sees SEPARATION	T 12 G 11 (333)
the past as is the egos law. Fidelity unto this	T 13 C 1 (338)
darkness and FORBIDS awakening. The egos laws are strict, and	T 13 C 1 (338)
Release from guilt is the egos whole undoing. MAKE NO	T 13 C 2 (338)
yours, and by obeying the egos harsh commandments you bring	T 13 C 2 (338)
those who obey it. The ego rewards fidelity to it with	T 13 C 2 (338)
afraid to look within. The ego tells you all is black	T 13 C 8 (340)
and even death become the egos best advice for how	T 13 D 15 (345)
is the reconciliation which the ego would substitute for your reconciliation	T 13 E 9 (348)
effect as surely as the ego will NOT effect what it	T 13 E 9 (348)
Failure is of the ego, NOT of God. From Him	T 13 E 10 (348)
as well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are	T 13 F 1 (349)
clearly to Heaven as the ego points to darkness and to	T 13 F 1 (349)
have followed much of the egos logic, and have seen	T 13 F 1 (349)
and the resurrection; between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The	T 13 H 4 (354)
and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt	T 13 H 4 (354)
guiltless. Crucifixion is ALWAYS the egos aim. It sees AS	T 14 B 11 (366)
truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy	T 14 E 1 (375)
E 2 Bringing the ego to God is but to	T 14 E 2 (375)
or Hell; God or the ego. You need but leave the	T 14 E 5 (376)
others are motivated by the ego, which but SEEMS to think	T 14 F 4 (378)
that you are not an ego, and that more than an	T 14 F 5 (378)
and that more than an ego MUST be in you. For	T 14 F 5 (378)
be in you. For the ego IS chaos, and if it	T 14 F 5 (378)
upon your minds limits the ego, it ALSO limits YOU. To	T 14 F 5 (378)
his offering by which the ego judges it. T 14	T 14 F 7 (379)
14 F 8 The ego is incapable of understanding content	T 14 F 8 (379)
unconcerned with it. To the ego, if the form is acceptable	T 14 F 8 (379)
it. The study of the ego is NOT the study of	T 14 F 8 (379)
the mind. In fact, the ego enjoys the study of itself	T 14 F 8 (379)
This is characteristic of the egos judgments. Separately, they seem	T 14 F 9 (379)
impossible. Separation therefore remains the egos chosen condition. For no	T 14 F 9 (379)
one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when two or	T 14 F 9 (379)
in searching for truth, the ego can no longer defend its	T 14 F 9 (380)
do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him. Call	T 14 G 14 (385)
Him. Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only	T 14 G 14 (385)
to your identification with the ego, which uses time to support	T 15 A 2 (386)
its belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses	T 15 A 2 (386)
end of teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which	T 15 A 2 (386)
15 B 1 The ego is an ally of time	T 15 B 1 (386)
you it cannot tolerate. The ego wants YOU dead, but NOT	T 15 B 1 (386)
those who identify with the ego. Their nightmares and their fears	T 15 B 1 (386)
15 B 2 The ego teaches that Hell is in	T 15 B 2 (386)
its GOAL. For, although the ego aims at death and dissolution	T 15 B 2 (386)
387) the egos teaching is without the	T 15 B 2 (387)
this strange paradox in the egos thought system before, but	T 15 B 2 (387)
clearly as here. For the ego must seem to KEEP fear	T 15 B 2 (387)
B 3 Again the ego tries, and all too frequently	T 15 B 3 (387)
SEEM to be reconciled. The ego teaches thus: Death is the	T 15 B 3 (387)
is eternal. Such is the egos version of immortality. And	T 15 B 3 (387)
And it is this the egos version of time supports	T 15 B 3 (387)
15 B 4 The ego teaches that Heaven is here	T 15 B 4 (387)
oblivion. The only time the ego allows anyone to look upon	T 15 B 4 (387)
bleak and despairing is the egos use of time! And	T 15 B 5 (387)
insidious threat to peace. The ego does not advertise its final	T 15 B 5 (387)
only way in which the ego allows the fear of Hell	T 15 B 5 (387)
Hell is only what the ego has made of the PRESENT	T 15 B 6 (387)
steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to Hell. For the	T 15 B 6 (388)
the fear by which the ego would make the present useless	T 15 B 6 (388)
escape from fear in the egos use of time. For	T 15 B 6 (388)
to transcend all of the egos making, and ascend unto	T 15 B 12 (389)
seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they	T 15 C 4 (391)
result, they witness TO the ego in your perception, and SEEM	T 15 C 4 (391)
choice whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in	T 15 C 4 (391)
you be hostage to the ego or host to God? Let	T 15 D 5 (394)
His Son hostage to the ego, cannot make little whom God	T 15 D 6 (394)
value no plan of the ego before the plan of God	T 15 E 3 (397)
simple. Complexity is of the ego, and is nothing more than	T 15 E 5 (398)
is nothing more than the egos attempt to obscure the	T 15 E 5 (398)
you believe that, WITHOUT the ego, all would be chaos. Yet	T 15 F 1 (400)
assure you that, without the ego, all would be LOVE.	T 15 F 1 (400)
The past is the EGOS chief learning device, for	T 15 F 2 (400)
have chosen to support the ego, as a learning experience which	T 15 F 4 (401)
15 F 7 The egos use of relationships is	T 15 F 7 (401)
ANY relationship in which the ego enters. For every relationship on	T 15 H 1 (407)
every relationship on which the ego embarks IS special. The ego	T 15 H 1 (407)
ego embarks IS special. The ego establishes relationships only to GET	T 15 H 1 (407)
It is impossible for the ego to enter into any relationship	T 15 H 2 (407)
relationship without anger, for the ego believes that anger makes FRIENDS	T 15 H 2 (407)
IS its purpose. For the ego really BELIEVES that it can	T 15 H 2 (407)
one RECOGNIZES it. For the ego always SEEMS to attract through	T 15 H 2 (407)
We said before that the ego attempts to maintain and increase	T 15 H 4 (407)
YOU. For it is the egos fundamental doctrine that what	T 15 H 4 (407)
others YOU HAVE ESCAPED. The ego wishes NO ONE well. Yet	T 15 H 4 (407)
make himself host to the ego. In the name of his	T 15 H 5 (408)
at the relationships which the ego contrives, and let the Holy	T 15 H 5 (408)
another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on the	T 15 H 6 (408)
it REALLY wants. Yet the ego acknowledges reality as it sees	T 15 H 6 (408)
409) the ego believes that to forgive another	T 15 H 7 (409)
attack WITHOUT forgiveness that the ego can ensure the guilt which	T 15 H 7 (409)
together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that BODIES are	T 15 H 8 (409)
always physical closeness that the ego demands, and it does not	T 15 H 8 (409)
it is content. To the ego, the mind is private, and	T 15 H 8 (409)
the gifts with which the ego would bless all unions. And	T 15 H 9 (409)
of those joined at the egos altar far exceeds your	T 15 H 9 (409)
of it. For what the ego REALLY wants you do not	T 15 H 9 (409)
a special relationship which the ego has blessed, for anger IS	T 15 H 10 (409)
the ONLY basis which the ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt	T 15 H 10 (409)
is the only need the ego has, and as long as	T 15 H 10 (409)
but the working of the egos plan to establish its	T 15 H 12 (410)
DANGER in communication. For the ego will ALWAYS teach that loneliness	T 15 H 12 (410)
I 7 As the ego would limit your perception of	T 15 I 7 (414)
is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the	T 15 I 8 (414)
of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the	T 15 I 8 (414)
give up every use the ego has for the body, and	T 15 I 9 (414)
accept the fact that the ego has NO purpose you would	T 15 I 9 (414)
share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a	T 15 I 9 (414)
have surely recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable	T 15 I 9 (414)
and hell, God and the ego, and release your power unto	T 15 I 10 (515)
Limits are demanded by the ego, representing its demands to make	T 15 I 10 (515)
see WITHOUT the limits the ego would impose on them can	T 15 I 11 (515)
separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will	T 15 I 13 (416)
both, though not as the ego uses them. This is the	T 15 J 1 (417)
the same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is	T 15 J 4 (417)
to be host to the ego or hostage to God. This	T 15 J 4 (418)
As host to the ego, you believe that you can	T 15 J 6 (418)
it is obvious that the ego DOES demand payment, it never	T 15 J 6 (418)
unwilling to recognize that the ego, which you invited, is treacherous	T 15 J 6 (418)
they are its host. The ego will never let you perceive	T 15 J 6 (418)
deceived by ANY form the ego takes to protect itself from	T 15 J 6 (418)
total sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand less of	T 15 J 7 (419)
To Him you ascribed the egos treachery, inviting it to	T 15 J 8 (419)
being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains	T 15 J 9 (419)
to understand. That is the EGOS interpretation of empathy, and	T 16 A 1 (424)
does not relate through the ego to another ego. He does	T 16 A 1 (424)
through the ego to another ego. He does not join in	T 16 A 1 (424)
proof that empathy as the ego uses it is destructive lies	T 16 A 2 (424)
mistake about this maneuver; the ego always empathizes to WEAKEN, and	T 16 A 2 (424)
and yield not to the egos triumphant use of empathy	T 16 B 1 (425)
according to your teaching. The egos teaching produces immediate results	T 16 D 2 (431)
are very clear in the egos thought system because all	T 16 D 2 (431)
directed against God. For the ego would have you see Him	T 16 F 2 (439)
special love relationship is the egos chief weapon for keeping	T 16 F 2 (439)
special love relationship is the egos most boasted gift, and	T 16 F 2 (439)
guilt. The dynamics of the ego are clearest here, for counting	T 16 F 2 (439)
love from God, that the egos hatred triumphs. For the	T 16 F 4 (439)
preservation of the ego that you believe this specialness	T 16 F 4 (440)
Hell, but Heaven. For the ego would never have you see	T 16 F 4 (440)
on this, because both the ego and the Holy Spirit accept	T 16 F 5 (440)
extension of union. To the ego, completion lies in triumph, and	T 16 F 5 (440)
a condition in which the ego CANNOT interfere, MUST be Hell	T 16 F 5 (440)
is a strange and unnatural ego device for joining Hell and	T 16 F 6 (440)
could there be of the egos maxim, Seek but do	T 16 F 6 (440)
of the self which the ego fosters in the special relationship	T 16 F 7 (440)
The better self the ego seeks is always one that	T 16 F 8 (441)
self in each other, the ego sees a union made in	T 16 F 8 (441)
will not interfere with the egos illusion of Heaven, which	T 16 F 8 (441)
attraction of guilt, which the ego holds out to those who	T 16 F 9 (441)
in strict accordance with the egos goals, is to destroy	T 16 F 9 (441)
and substitute illusion. For the ego is ITSELF an illusion, and	T 16 F 9 (441)
you equate yourself with the ego, and not with God. For	T 16 G 1 (444)
has value ONLY to the ego. To the ego UNLESS a	T 16 G 1 (444)
to the ego. To the ego UNLESS a relationship has special	T 16 G 1 (444)
its real appeal, for the ego has taught you that FREEDOM	T 16 G 2 (444)
the special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even	T 16 G 4 (445)
one whole individual. For the ego wants but PART of him	T 16 G 4 (445)
mockery of salvation which the ego offered you, and look not	T 16 G 9 (446)
underestimate the intensity of the egos drive for vengeance on	T 16 H 3 (448)
and completely insane. For the ego remembers everything that you have	T 16 H 3 (448)
of YOUR destruction. For the ego holds the past AGAINST you	T 16 H 3 (448)
in your own destruction, the ego could not hold you to	T 16 H 3 (448)
you while you pursue the egos goal as its ally	T 16 H 4 (449)
the one thing which the ego never allows to reach awareness	T 16 H 5 (449)
H 6 Against the egos insane notion of salvation	T 16 H 6 (449)
is the OPPOSITE of the egos fixed belief in salvation	T 16 H 6 (449)
which would heal and the egos atonement which would destroy	T 16 H 10 (450)

unholy alliances which support the egos goals, and make your	T 17 C 2 (457)
figures which would make the EGO holy in your sight, and	T 17 C 2 (457)
time IS cruel in the egos hands, as it is	T 17 C 5 (458)
where it was MADE. The ego seeks to resolve its problems	T 17 C 7 (459)
has joined as one, the ego CANNOT break apart. The spark	T 17 C 9 (459)
continuing, unholy alliance with the ego AGAINST the present. For the	T 17 C 10 (460)
EXCEPT between God and the ego. Thought systems are but true	T 17 C 11 (460)
the special relationship was the egos answer to the creation	T 17 E 3 (462)
the separation. For although the ego did not understand what had	T 17 E 3 (462)
whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the separation	T 17 E 4 (462)
17 E 5 The ego is hyper alert to threat	T 17 E 5 (463)
your mind into which the ego was accepted is very anxious	T 17 E 5 (463)
in general terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the special	T 17 E 6 (463)
many other aspects of the egos thought system which you	T 17 E 6 (463)
of all the defenses the ego uses. Its thought system is	T 17 E 8 (464)
whole thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so	T 17 E 11 (465)
The temptation of the ego becomes extremely intense with this	T 17 F 4 (467)
would be obscured, and the ego given time to re-interpret each	T 17 F 5 (468)
F 7 Now the ego counsels thus; substitute for this	T 17 F 7 (468)
determine the outcome. In the egos procedure, this is reversed	T 17 G 2 (472)
disorganized approach is evident. The ego does not know what it	T 17 G 2 (472)
is whether or not the ego likes it; is it acceptable	T 17 G 3 (472)
see the opposite of the egos way of looking, for	T 17 G 5 (473)
way of looking, for the ego believes the SITUATION brings the	T 17 G 5 (473)
from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego believes in	T 17 G 6 (473)
of the ego, for the ego believes in solving conflict through	T 17 G 6 (473)
seems to be difficult, the ego will attempt to take this	T 17 G 7 (473)
is the strongest defense the ego has for separation. T	T 18 A 1 (480)
never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as a	T 18 A 2 (480)
between the fragmented relationships the ego sponsors to destroy. T	T 18 A 2 (480)
into a tribute to your ego, which was outraged by the	T 18 C 1 (484)
yourself as one with the ego, which always looks upon itself	T 18 C 1 (484)
changing it to suit the ego better. They provide striking examples	T 18 C 2 (484)
striking examples, both of the egos inability to tolerate reality	T 18 C 2 (484)
or you will add the ego unto Him, and confuse the	T 18 E 1 (490)
Within this kingdom the ego rules, and cruelly. And to	T 18 I 3 (503)
a real foundation for the egos thought system. Its thinness	T 18 J 6 (508)
him from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus	T 19 A 2 (512)
grand illusion underlying all the egos grandiosity. For by it	T 19 C 2 (517)
A major tenet in the egos insane religion is that	T 19 C 4 (517)
is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is	T 19 C 5 (517)
most holy concept in the egos system; lovely and powerful	T 19 C 5 (518)
can indeed be said the ego made its world on sin	T 19 C 6 (518)
God to an ideal the ego wants; a world IT rules	T 19 C 6 (518)
no stone in all the egos embattled citadel more heavily	T 19 C 7 (518)
what he IS. To the ego, this is NO MISTAKE. For	T 19 C 7 (518)
And this would be the egos wish, which in its	T 19 C 7 (518)
tempted to agree with the ego that it is far better	T 19 C 8 (519)
essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you will	T 19 D 1 (520)
19 D 2 The ego does not think it possible	T 19 D 2 (520)
and always ANSWERS. For the ego brings sin to FEAR, demanding	T 19 D 2 (520)
instead of you. To the ego sin MEANS death, and so	T 19 F 8 (530)
This IS completion, as the ego sees it. For guilt creeps	T 19 F 10 (530)
for it is one the ego sees as PROOF of sin	T 19 H 4 (535)
that underlies all of the egos heavy investment in the	T 19 H 5 (535)
sender and the receiver. The ego and the Holy Spirit both	T 19 H 6 (535)
you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would	T 19 H 6 (535)
19 H 7 The egos messages are always sent	T 19 H 7 (535)
true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to	T 19 H 8 (536)
in solemn celebration of the egos rule. Not one but	T 19 H 8 (536)
is not given to the egos disciples to realize that	T 19 H 9 (536)
unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy Spirit is both	T 19 H 9 (536)
it seeks. So does the ego find the death IT seeks	T 19 H 9 (536)
with death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across	T 19 I 1 (536)
all living things, because the ego is the enemy of life	T 19 I 1 (536)
live; the black-draped sinners, the egos mournful chorus, plodding so	T 19 I 2 (537)
purpose in place of the egos, you renounced death, exchanging	T 19 I 3 (537)
the thought we call the ego, as surely as life is	T 19 I 3 (537)
J 1 From the ego came sin and guilt and	T 19 J 1 (538)
kill it. For what the ego loves it kills for its	T 19 J 2 (538)
of communication which is the egos goal. T 19	T 19 J 4 (539)
it lies hidden all the egos secrets, all its strange	T 19 J 5 (539)
union, the triumph of the egos making over creation, the	T 19 J 5 (539)
of its distorted world the ego would lay the Son of	T 19 J 6 (539)
Himself is powerless before the egos might, unable to protect	T 19 J 6 (539)
that He created against the egos savage wish to kill	T 19 J 6 (539)
always for ONE reason; the ego has perceived it as a	T 19 J 9 (540)
made in secret to the ego never to lift this veil	T 19 K 3 (541)
secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies beyond	T 19 K 3 (541)
of death than of the ego. These are your chosen FRIENDS	T 19 K 4 (541)
fear of vengeance of the ego you swore in blood not	T 19 K 6 (542)
it was surely not the ego that led you here. No	T 19 L 1 (543)
any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego	T 20 D 2 (553)
ego. For it is the egos fixed belief that all	T 20 D 2 (553)
ALWAYS seen as dangerous. The ego is the self-appointed mediator of	T 20 D 2 (553)
is carefully preserved by the ego, whose image it is and	T 20 D 5 (554)
just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself	T 20 D 6 (554)
brothers value. Only the ego does this, but all IT	T 20 F 3 (560)
relationships. The body is the egos chosen weapon for seeking	T 20 G 4 (563)
valueless. Homeless, the ego seeks as many bodies as	T 20 G 4 (564)
The body is the egos idol; the belief in	T 20 G 11 (566)
of Christ OR of the ego. Either must be an error	T 20 H 4 (568)
the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy	T 20 H 5 (568)
sights and screaming sounds the egos purpose brought	T 20 I 10 (572)
for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that	T 21 C 6 (579)
wishful thinking is how the ego deals with what it wants	T 21 C 10 (580)
in association with sin the ego deems quite appropriate, and smiles	T 21 E 1 (587)
2 Remember that the ego is not alone. Its rule	T 21 E 2 (587)
see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to look	T 21 E 2 (587)
Yet this is not the egos hidden fear, nor yours	T 21 E 2 (587)
serve it. Loudly indeed the ego claims it is; TOO loudly	T 21 E 2 (587)
shout and frantic proclamation, the ego is not certain it is	T 21 E 2 (587)
and one which makes the ego tremble. T 21 E	T 21 E 2 (587)
fearful question is one the ego NEVER asks. And you who	T 21 E 3 (587)
it now are threatening the egos whole defensive system too	T 21 E 3 (587)
their identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is one	T 21 E 3 (587)
you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy	T 21 E 4 (588)
part of your mind the ego knows not of. No more	T 21 E 4 (588)
that it was not the ego that joined the Holy Spirit	T 21 E 5 (588)
SANE. You have perceived the egos madness, and not been	T 21 E 6 (588)
7 And now the ego IS afraid. Yet what it	T 21 E 7 (588)
to hear since first the ego came into your minds. The	T 21 E 7 (588)
came into your minds. The egos weakness is its strength	T 21 E 7 (588)
at last, from which the egos rule has kept it	T 21 E 7 (588)
each other, and remember the egos weakness is revealed in	T 21 E 8 (589)
joined, and looks upon the ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of	T 21 E 8 (589)
drowned out by all the egos raucous screams and senseless	T 21 F 1 (590)
choice. Listen to what the ego says and see what it	T 21 F 2 (590)
Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand	T 21 F 3 (590)
such is clearly not the egos reasoning. Its alien nature	T 21 F 5 (591)
Its alien nature to the ego is proof you will not	T 21 F 5 (591)
For reason is beyond the egos range of means.	T 21 F 7 (592)
on reasons absence. The ego never uses it because it	T 21 F 8 (592)
asked the question which the ego will NEVER ask. Does not	T 21 F 10 (592)
but truth. Only to the ego, to which truth is meaningless	T 22 C 1 (610)
Both reason and the ego will tell you this, but	T 22 C 5 (611)
is not the same. The ego will assure you now that	T 22 C 5 (611)
separation of you and the ego must be made complete. For	T 22 C 6 (611)
in them. Yet to the ego this must be impossible, and	T 22 C 6 (611)
introduction of reason into the egos thought system is the	T 22 D 1 (614)
undoing. For reason and the ego are contradictory. Nor is it	T 22 D 1 (614)
here do reason and the ego separate, to go their different	T 22 D 1 (614)
22 D 2 The egos whole continuance depends on	T 22 D 2 (614)
have been an error. The egos opposition to correction leads	T 22 D 2 (614)
be corrected. Thus does the ego damn, and reason save.	T 22 D 2 (614)
form of error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize	T 22 D 4 (614)
in a special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all	T 22 D 4 (615)
2 Consider what the ego wants defenses FOR. Always to	T 22 F 2 (619)
keep a little of the ego with this gift. For it	T 22 G 15 (625)
you cannot separate DENIES the ego. Let truth decide if you	T 22 G 15 (625)
imply that you believe the ego has the power to BE	T 23 B 1 (628)
it? Surely you realize the ego is at war with God	T 23 B 1 (628)
Is this a VICTORY? The ego ALWAYS marches to defeat, because	T 23 B 2 (628)
is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will	T 23 B 3 (628)
converge upon the body, the egos chosen home, which you	T 23 B 3 (628)
error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of	T 23 B 3 (628)
or as a thousand. The ego joins with nothing, BEING nothing	T 23 B 3 (628)
His Son. Think not the ego will enable you to find	T 23 C 8 (634)
does not value what the ego cherishes. T 23 C	T 23 C 8 (634)
23 C 9 The ego values only what it TAKES	T 23 C 9 (634)
vengeance justified. Behold, unveiled, the egos secret gift, torn from	T 23 C 12 (635)
Comparison must be an ego device, for love makes none	T 24 C 1 (648)
peace. And yet, beneath the egos senseless shrieks, such IS	T 25 F 3 (681)
in which God and the ego challenge each other as to	W 13 L 2 (22)
space which meaninglessness provides. The ego rushes in frantically to establish	W 13 L 2 (22)
do not exist. To the ego illusions are safety devices, as	W 13 L 3 (22)
who equate yourself with the ego. 4. The exercises	W 13 L 3 (22)
as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals have nothing	W 25 L 2 (42)
own best interests, because the ego is not you. This false	W 25 L 2 (42)
His holiness, not to your ego and therefore not to your	W 36 L 1 (59)
from hell. Perceived through the egos eyes, it is loss	W 44 L 5 (75)
can stand aside from the ego ever so little, you will	W 44 L 6 (76)
songs of praise to the ego. Do not put your faith	W 50 L 2 (88)
2. To the ego, todays idea is the	W 61 L 2 (112)
epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not understand humility, mistaking	W 61 L 2 (112)
arrogance is always of the ego. 3. True humility	W 61 L 2 (112)
idea goes far beyond the egos petty views of what	W 61 L 7 (113)
only the arrogance of the ego which leads you to question	W 64 L 3 (117)
only the tear of the ego which induces you to regard	W 64 L 3 (117)
one. 2. The ego does constant battle with the	W 66 L 2 (121)
not a two-way battle. The ego attacks and the Holy Spirit	W 66 L 2 (121)
We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks	W 66 L 3 (121)
One is ruled by the ego, and is made up of	W 66 L 7 (122)
but the fear which the ego always engenders and the love	W 66 L 7 (122)
or is made by the ego which you made to replace	W 66 L 8 (122)
be the gift of the ego. Does the ego really have	W 66 L 8 (122)
of the ego. Does the ego really have gifts to give	W 66 L 8 (122)
to find salvation under the egos guidance. Did you find	W 66 L 9 (122)
expect happiness from anything the ego has ever proposed. Yet the	W 66 L 9 (123)
has ever proposed. Yet the ego is the only alternative to	W 66 L 9 (123)
truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with	W 67 L 6 (125)
the decision to let the ego rule your mind, and to	W 68 L 1 (126)
may not realize that the ego has set up a plan	W 71 L 1 (134)
plan in place of the egos is to be damned	W 71 L 1 (134)
have considered just what the egos plan is, perhaps you	W 71 L 1 (134)
it. 2. The egos plan for salvation centers	W 71 L 2 (134)
4. Such is the egos plan for your salvation	W 71 L 4 (134)
in strict accord with the egos basic doctrine, Seek but	W 71 L 4 (134)
we have recognized that the egos plan for salvation is	W 72 L 1 (137)
are actually associated with the ego, while the ego appears to	W 72 L 1 (137)
with the ego, while the ego appears to take on the	W 72 L 1 (137)
God. 2. The egos fundamental wish is to	W 72 L 2 (137)
replace God. In fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of	W 72 L 2 (137)
to expand communication. Yet the ego would have you believe that	W 72 L 2 (137)
and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God	W 72 L 6 (138)
are no longer asking the ego what salvation is and where	W 72 L 11 (139)
not the same as the egos idle wishes, out of	W 73 L 1 (141)
of creation in it. The egos idle wishes are unshared	W 73 L 1 (141)
see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and	W 73 L 2 (141)
rise to it, and the egos need for grievances, which	W 73 L 2 (141)
They become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances	W 73 L 2 (141)
it. Darkness has vanished; the egos idle wishes have been	W 73 L 4 (141)
suffer and die? Forget the egos arguments which seek to	W 73 L 6 (142)
are. Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your	W 73 L 7 (142)
We do not see the egos shadow on the world	W 75 L 4 (146)
function. This may threaten my ego, but cannot change my function	W 82 RII 4 (165)
one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You	W 94 L 1 (183)
you will lay aside the egos voice however loudly it	W 106 L 1 (213)
idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the	W 126 L 1 (255)
be deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to recognize	W 133 L 8 (278)
that he has served the egos hidden goals. 10	W 133 L 9 (278)
who would still preserve the egos goals and serve them	W 133 L 10 (279)
choice, you have allowed the egos goals to come between	W 133 L 11 (279)
You merely can believe the egos judgments, all of which	W 151 L 4 (316)
He sees do all the egos dreams of what you	W 151 L 8 (317)
Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear? What could	W 151 L 10 (318)
false pretense by which the ego seeks to prove it arrogant	W 152 L 9 (322)
prove it arrogant. Only the ego can be arrogant. But truth	W 152 L 9 (322)
all the prices which the ego would exact. In them lies	W 153 L 4 (324)
never be escaped because the ego, under what it sees as	W 196 L 2 (438)
that you are not an ego. For the ways in which	W 196 L 3 (438)
the ways in which the ego would distort the truth will	W 196 L 3 (438)
not concerned that to the ego it is quite insane. The	W 199 L 3 (447)
it is quite insane. The ego holds the body dear because	W 199 L 3 (447)
fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by lies. Only	W 319 L 1 (570)
unoccupied by lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore	W 319 L 1 (570)
are curtailed and limiting. The ego thinks that what one gains	W 319 L 1 (570)
(12) What is the Ego? 1.	W 330 W12 0 (583)
1. The ego is idolatry; the sign of	W 330 W12 1 (583)
which It is denied. The ego is the proof that strength	W 330 W12 1 (583)
true. 2. The ego is insane. In fear it	W 330 W12 2 (583)
is not to know the ego and its thoughts, its works	W 330 W12 4 (583)
1. The ego makes illusions. Truth undoes its	W 332 L 1 (585)
the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God	M 5 B 2 M(9)
a central concept in the egos thought system. This thought	M 23 A 3 M(54)
has identified with anothers ego, and has thus confused him	M 23 A 5 M(55)
of his formal beliefs. His ego will be enough for him	M 25 A 3 M(58)
wants and needs. Yet the ego sees in these same strengths	M 26 A 4 M(61)
worlds material gifts the ego has been seriously threatened. It	M 26 A 5 M(61)
have not seen through the egos defenses here, although they	M 26 A 5 M(61)
merely means to strengthen the ego. Yet here is also a	M 26 A 6 M(61)
This course remains within the ego framework, where it is needed	U 1 A 3 U(1)
symbols. It is always the ego that questions because it is	U 1 A 3 U(1)
because it is only the ego that doubts. The course merely	U 1 A 3 U(1)
These are attributes of the ego. THE COURSE IS SIMPLE. It	U 1 A 3 U(1)
1 A 4 The ego will demand many answers this	U 1 A 4 U(1)
an answer is impossible. The ego may ask, How did the	U 1 A 4 U(1)
has two parts; spirit and ego. U 2 A 3	U 2 A 2 U(2)
together. WRONG-MINDEDNESS listens to the ego and makes illusions; perceiving sin	U 2 A 5 U(2)
the Holy Spirit or the ego. Consciousness has levels and awareness	U 2 A U(3)
their world. It is the egos world because of this	U 3 A 1 U(4)
of this. What is the ego? But a dream of what	U 3 A 1 U(4)

a world of form the ego cannot be denied for it	U 3 A 2 U(4)
asks you to define the ego and explain how it arose	U 3 A 2 U(4)
that lies conceal effectively. The egos unreality is not denied	U 3 A 3 U(4)
a definition for what the ego is, but we CAN say	U 3 A 4 U(4)
we deduce all that the ego is. Look at its opposite	U 3 A 4 U(4)
3 A 5 The egos opposite in every way	U 3 A 5 U(4)
all that is not the ego in the world. Here is	U 3 A 5 U(4)
the world. Here is the egos opposite and here alone	U 3 A 5 U(4)
we look on what the ego was. For here we see	U 3 A 5 U(4)
the light. What was the ego? What the darkness was. Where	U 3 A 6 U(4)
darkness was. Where was the ego? Where the darkness was. What	U 3 A 6 U(4)
is holiness. What is the ego? What the evil was. Where	U 3 A 6 U(5)
evil was. Where is the ego? In an evil dream that	U 3 A 6 U(5)

to ask? Where is the ego? Who has need to seek	U 3 A 6 U(5)
8 This was the ego -- all the cruel hate	U 3 A 8 U(5)
this instead of what the ego is, and you will see	U 3 A 9 U(5)
cover up the world the ego made. No miracle is now	U 3 A 9 U(5)
The miracle forgives; the ego damns. Neither need be defined	U 3 A 10 U(5)
must be so because the ego cannot be at peace. But	U 4 A 7 U(7)
of the errors which the ego fosters; that it is capable	P 3 B 2 P(4)
