right, but purification is necessary first. T 1 B 8 T 1 B 7 (1)
are identified through perception, you first perceive the stimulus and thenT 1 B 42b (10)
since they are not the first definitions which are given. Nevertheless T 2 A 1 (20)
T 2 A 5 First, the assumption is implicit that T 2 A 5 (21)
than others, but remember the first point in this course; that T 2 A 14 (22)
a temple is only the first step in correcting this kind T 2 B 28 (28)
magic principles. It was the first level of the error to T 2 C 6 (32)
shift the error from the first to the second type of T 2 D 7 (38)
2 E 1 The first corrective step is KNOW FIRST T 2 E 1 (39)
first corrective step is KNOW FIRST that this is an expression T 2 E 1 (39)
summarized as follows: 1. Know first that this is fear. 2 T 2 E 1 (39)
move mountains. It appears at first glance that to believe such T 2 E 5 (40)
LOVE is inherent in the first. Because of this difference, the T 2 E 12 (42)
will cannot BUT continue. The first step toward freedom MUST entail T 2 F 4 (45)
Questioning illusions is the first step in undoing them. The T 3 E 3 (54)
3 Consciousness was the first split that man introduced into T 3 F 3 (57)
willed. Instead of Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven say T 3 H 11 (66)
of Heaven say, WILL ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and T 3 H 11 (66)
because the separation was their first experience of change. T T 4 B 3 (71)
this, you have taken the first step toward preparing your mind T 4 D 11 (85)

created like you in the first, and I have called you T 4 E 11 (88)

the Holy Spirit, taught me first and foremost that this Inspiration T 5 B 4 (102)

IF IT ACCEPTS THE ATONEMENT FIRST. It will also turn back T 5 H 1 (120)
for the ego always speaks first. Alternate interpretations were unnecessary untilT 5 H 4 (121)
interpretations were unnecessary until the first one was made, and speakingT 5 H 4 (121)
a number of learning advantages. First, it recognizes that man can T 5 I 4 (124)
how you feel. Therefore, the first step in the undoing is T 5 I 13 (127)
the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it is true T 6 B 7 (130)
you must have attacked yourself FIRST out of awareness, and thus T 6 C 2 (134)
question. The ego always speaks first because it is capricious, and T 6 E 1 (140)
The ego, then, raised the first question that was ever asked T 6 E 2 (140)
Holy Spirit does not speak first, BUT HE ALWAYS ANSWERS. Everyone T 6 E 3 (140)
no doubt there because the first question was never asked. Having T 6 E 7 (141)
its resolution. Having taken the first step, however, they WILL be T 6 F 11 (146)
MOTIVATION for change is their first and foremost goal. It is T 6 G 2 (147)
the mind IS fundamental. The first step in the reversal or T 6 G 3 (147)
Accordingly, the Holy Spirits first lesson was To HAVE, GIVE T 6 G 3 (147)
OPPOSITE of being. Therefore, the first lesson SEEMS to contain a T 6 G 4 (147)
why, in many respects, the first lesson is the hardest to T 6 G 4 (147)
always, the ego perceives the first lesson as insane. In fact T 6 G 5 (148)
however, more advanced than the first step, which is really only T 6 G 8 (149)
step is easier than the first because it FOLLOWS. The very T 6 G 10 (149)
has advanced far from the first lesson which
T 6 H 4 (150)
the second follows from the first, emphasizes the DICHOTOMY between the T 6 H 4 (151)
H 5 While the first step seems to INCREASE conflict T 6 H 5 (151)
H 8 You learn first that having rests on GIVING T 6 H 8 (152)
nothing LAST because He created FIRST and FOR ALWAYS. It must T 7 B 4 (155)
be understood that the word first as applied to Him is T 7 B 4 (155)
a time concept. He is first in the sense that He T 7 B 4 (155)
sense that He is the first in the Holy Trinity Itself T 7 B 4 (155)
but it MUST be intrapersonal first. T 7 C 4 T 7 C 3 (157)
E 13 Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven because T 7 E 13 (164)
8 B 3 The first change that must be introduced T 8 B 3 (189)
you MUST have attacked yourself first. Do not see him this T 8 G 5 (204)
have you see error clearly FIRST, and THEN overlook it. Yet T 9 C 4 (225)
made FOR you as the First was created. The Second Coming T 9 C 9 (227)
In time the giving comes first, though they are simultaneous in T 9 E 6 (232)
that you always attack yourself FIRST. T 9 I 5 T 9 I 4 (242)
little light must be acknowledged first, for the separation was a T 9 J 8 (247)
and be healed is the first step toward RECOGNIZING what you T 10 C 1 (256)
within. It is difficult, at first, to realize that this is T 10 E 4 (263)
while, for we must look first at this to look beyond T 10 F 1 (265)
question is always two- fold; first, WHAT is to be saved T 11 D 2 (287)
For YOU are always the first point of your attack, and T 11 F 3 (293)
without BECAUSE you saw it first within. Everything you behold without T 11 H 13 (302)
that you MUST attack yourself first, for what you attack is T 12 E 3 (322)
G 9 You will first dream of peace, and then T 12 G 9 (332)
then awaken to it. Your first exchange of what you made T 12 G 9 (332)
blessing, it MUST have come first to yourself. And you must T 13 F 2 (349)
steadfastly devoted to misery must first recognize that you ARE miserable T 13 G 1 (351)
acknowledged. Yet truth is offered FIRST to be received, even as T 13 I 1 (360)
even as God gave it first to His Son. The first T 13 I 1 (360)
first to His Son. The first in time means nothing, but T 13 I 1 (360)
time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the T 13 I 1 (360)
the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First T 13 I 1 (360)
First and One. Beyond the First there is no other, for T 13 I 1 (360)
third, and nothing BUT the First. T 13 I 2 T 13 I 1 (360)
You who belong to the First Cause, created by Him like T 13 I 2 (360)
lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to T 15 D 3 (393)
you had judged against yourself first, or you would never have T 15 F 6 (401)
out, if you are willing, first, to perceive what YOU have T 15 H 5 (408)
428) the first link in the awareness of T 16 C 4 (428)
special relationship, it is necessary first to realize that it involves T 16 F 1 (439)
Spirit knows that completion lies first in union, and then in T 16 F 5 (440)
about it FOR you. But first, be sure you fully realize T 17 C 9 (460)
it was. This is the first result of offering the relationship T 17 F 2 (467)
which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply T 17 G 2 (472)
3 That was the first projection of error outward. The T 18 B 3 (481)
We once said that the first change, before dreams disappear, is T 18 C 7 (485)
make him different. Would you first make a miracle yourself, and T 18 E 4 (491)
who think that THEY must first atone, but only to those T 18 E 5 (491)
already lies deeply within must first expand, and flow across the T 19 D 14 (524)
19 E 1 The first obstacle that peace must flow T 19 E 1 (525)
each other that is the first obstacle the peace in you T 19 E 2 (525)
We said that peace must first surmount the obstacle of your T 19 G 1 (530)
and closely related to the first, is the belief that the T 19 G 1 (530)
no more solid than the first. For you will neither to T 19 G 5 (531)
better way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a T 19 J 4 (538)
the hardest can be accomplished first? The body can but serve T 19 J 4 (538)
no fear at all. But first, lift up your eyes and T 19 L 1 (543)
as whole. But look you first upon the altar in your T 20 C 4 (550)
was IN them, not deciding first where they would HAVE it T 20 D 3 (553)
and an unholy relationship. The first is based on love, and T 20 G 2 (563)
will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will T 20 I 1 (570)
power of your wanting must first be recognized. You must accept T 21 C 4 (579)
vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to recognize how T 21 D 8 (585)
it longed to hear since first the ego came into your T 21 E 7 (588)
little. And only those who first believe that they ARE little T 21 H 1 (598)
not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to T 21 H 5 (599)
You have already answered the first three questions, but not yet T 21 H 6 (599)
10 Here is the first direct perception that you have T 22 B 10 (609)
It is but the first few steps along the right T 22 E 2 (617)
23 C 2 The first chaotic law is that the T 23 C 2 (632)
seems to interfere with the first principle of miracles. For this T 23 C 3 (632)
principle, closely related to the first, is the demand that errors T 23 C 4 (632)
to it to kill it first. And such is guilts T 24 E 1 (656)
it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him before it T 24 F 4 (659)
home? He looked upon you first, but recognized that you were T 24 F 6 (659)
another problem added to the first, in which the murder is T 25 J 5 (697)
you, unless you have decided first to BE unjust. And then T 25 J 7 (698)
of time in which the first mistake was made, and all T 26 F 3 (710)
them that came within the first. And in that tiny instant T 26 F 3 (710)
evil, for forgiveness does not first establish sin and THEN forgive T 27 C 2 (733)
be kind. And so the first replacement for your picture is T 27 D 4 (739)
question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant T 27 E 8 (743)
witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them will be seen T 27 F 9 (746)
is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your T 27 H 6 (752)
from your brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And T 27 H 6 (752)
whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming T 27 I 5 (757)
dream. Effect and cause are first split off, and then reversed T 28 C 8 (768)
cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to T 28 C 9 (768)
barely started to allow your first, uncertain steps to be directed T 28 D 1 (770)
learn he is a Savior first, before he can remember what T 29 D 1 (790)
T 30 B 2 First: (1) The outlook starts with T 30 B 2 (809)
problem as YOU saw it first. This leads to fear because T 30 B 2 (809)
But it does occur at first, while you are learning how T 30 B 2 (810)
fear, for opposition will not first arise and then become a T 30 B 2 (810)
consider once again the very first of the decisions which are T 30 B 14 (812)
That is really all. The first rule, then, is not coercion T 30 B 15 (812)
that all things must be first forgiven, and THEN understood. T 30 F 1 (823)
the love of Christ accepted first. And then will come the T 30 F 7 (824)
were, it would be necessary first there be some sin which T 30 G 5 (828)
the world arises from the first accomplishment of learning; an enormity T 31 A 4 (837)
steps in its relinquishment. The first is a decision that YOU T 31 B 2 (840)
in different outcomes, there is first one thing that must be T 31 C 1 (844)
do that it becomes your first response to all temptation, and T 31 C 1 (844)
the mind can recognize. The first presents the face of innocence T 31 E 2 (850)
This aspect never makes the first attack. But every day a T 31 E 3 (850)
it that did the choosing first? If you are what you T 31 E 12 (853)
among, and someone must have first decided on the one to T 31 E 12 (853)
to the second from the first is that YOU somehow entered T 31 E 13 (853)
And this he learns when first he looks upon ONE brother T 31 G 8 (860)
divided into two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of W 1 IN 3 W(1)
same as those for the first one. Begin with the things W 2 L 1 (4)
to train you in the first steps toward the goal of W 4 L 3 (6)
the meaningful. It is a first attempt in the long-range purpose W 4 L 3 (6)
since these exercises are the first of their kind, you may W 4 L 4 (7)
of them separately is the first step in ultimately recognizing they W 5 L 1 (8)
practice periods in which you first search your mind for sources W 5 L 2 (8)
others. If this occurs, think first of this: I cannot keep W 5 L 4 (9)
particularly difficult to believe at first. Yet it is the rationale W 7 L 1 (11)
new ideas about time. This first time idea is not really W 7 L 2 (11)
as it may sound at first. Look at a cup, for W 7 L 2 (11)
with real ideas, is the first step to opening the way W 8 L 3 (13)
1. This is the first idea we have had which W 11 L 1 (19)
6. This is our first attempt at stating an explicit W 13 L 6 (23)
idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply W 15 L 4 (26)
In the practice periods, first repeat the idea, and then W 16 L 5 (29)
always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe W 17 L 1 (30)
a wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry W 19 L 2 (32)
idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should W 19 L 3 (32)
2. This is our first attempt to introduce structure. Do W 20 L 2 (34)
be changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be identified W 23 L 5 (39)
it can be replaced. The first two steps in this process W 23 L 5 (39)
been replaced. By taking the first two steps, you will see W 23 L 5 (39)
that you always attack yourself first. If attack thoughts must entail W 26 L 3 (44)
should be applied as follows: First, name the situation: I am W 26 L 6 (45)
for the day is stated first, and then applied to whatever W 28 L 7 (48)
this form: 3. First, close your eyes and repeat W 36 L 3 (59)
This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function W 37 L 1 (60)
concentration is very difficult at first. It will become much easier W 36 L 9 (65)
Today we will make our first real attempt to get past W 41 L 6 (68)
very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and W 41 L 8 (69)
open your eyes, repeat the first phase; and then try the W 43 L 6 (73)
irrelevant thoughts. Return to the first phase as often as necessary W 43 L 6 (73)
The purpose of the first phase of todays practice W 46 L 5 (81)
already presented, starting with the first and ending with the fiftieth W 51 RI 1 (90)
emphasizing the relationships among the first fifty of the ideas we W 51 RI 6 (91)
obviously necessary. This is the first of a number of giant W 61 L 7 (113)
This will be difficult at first particularly, since you are not W 64 L 8 (118)
whatever thoughts cross it. At first, make no attempt to concentrate W 65 L 5 (120)
It is only if the first two thoughts are wrong that W 66 L 5 (122)
practicing. 6. The first premise is that God gives W 66 L 6 (122)
you do not accept the first premise. 7. The W 66 L 6 (122)
it is inherent in the first. And in the first is W 71 L 7 (135)
the first. And in the first is your full release from W 71 L 7 (135)
this is so, you must first realize salvation lies not there W 76 L 1 (149)
hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him W 78 L 6 (155)
eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your W 81 RII 2 (162)
believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before W 90 RII 5 (173)
profitable if done for the first five minutes of every waking W 93 L 8 (181)
even able to use the first five minutes of each hour W 93 L 10 (182)
we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking W 94 L 3 (183)
requirement of practicing for the first five minutes of every hour W 94 L 5 (184)
today. The use of the first 5 minutes of every waking W 95 L 3 (185)
few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour W 95 L 7 (186)
additional mistakes, based on the first, and reinforcing it. It is W 95 L 10 (187)
Salvation is a miracle, the first and last; the first that W 97 L 3 (192)
the first and last; the first that is the last, for W 97 L 3 (192)
need that you receive them first, and thus become the joyous W 106 L 7 (214)
on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be W 108 L 4 (219)
and comments which are written first in each days exercises W 111 RIII 5 (228)
you, if you devote the first five minutes of the day W 111 RIII 8 (229)
see because we saw it first within ourselves. 6. W 124 L 5 (251)
with God. This is our first attempt at an extended period W 124 L 8 (251)
better choice. 6. First, if you choose a thing W 133 L 6 (278)
pitifully mocked and twice condemned; first by themselves for what they W 134 L 5 (282)
5. Let us consider first what you defend. It must W 135 L 5 (285)
close as we began, repeating first the Thought that made the W 140 RIV 9 (313)
parts of it. Without the first the second has no meaning W 152 L 3 (321)
without the second is the first no longer true. Truth cannot W 152 L 3 (321)
which they deliver are intended first for them. And it is W 154 L 6 (330)
bear, but they become their first receivers in the truest sense W 154 L 6 (330)
To give a thing requires first you have it in your W 159 L 1 (344)
salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can W 161 L 11 (352)
world will disappear, and vision first will come, with knowledge but W 168 L 4 (371)
on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must W 170 L 4 (377)
make attack, and must have first conceived of it. Yet you W 170 L 4 (377)
journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress W 180 IN2 3 (387)
Therefore, in practicing today, we first let all such little focuses W 181 L 3 (388)
to supplement the Word. But first you must accept One Name W 184 L 13 (401)
can doubt that you must first possess what you would give W 187 L 1 (410)
3. Ideas must first belong to you before you W 187 L 3 (410)
to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But W 187 L 3 (410)
blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is W 187 L 8 (411)
2. Perhaps at first you will not understand how W 196 L 2 (438)
at all, its form must first be changed at least as W 196 L 7 (439)
the day. We give the first of these instructions now. W 220 INII 12 (461)
Such is the truth, at first to be but said, and W 284 L 1 (532)
to know my Source, I first must recognize what You created W 288 L 1 (536)
in which perception ends. At first you see a world which W 310 W10 1 (561)
today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fadeW 326 L 2 (578)
second place to gain the first. 1. W 328 L 0 (580)
be the second place is first, for all things we perceive W 328 L 1 (580)
Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives W 336 L 1 (589)
The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask W 340 W13 4 (594)
we make to God, Responding first with miracles, and then Returning W 357 L 0 (612)
is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in W 357 L 1 (612)
to separate. As with the first level, these meetings are not M 4 A 4 M(7)
M 5 B 3 First, they must go through what M 5 B 3 M(9)
nothing was there. Slowly at first he lets himself be undeceived M 5 G 1 M(14)
to say this one must first recognize certain facts. First, it M 6 C 1 M(19)
must first recognize certain facts. First, it is obvious that decisions M 6 C 1 M(19)
has received. Yet he must first accept them. He need do M 8 A 3 M(24)
It does appear unreasonable at first to be told that continued M 8 A 4 M(24)
attitudes would not be the first step in the newly-made teacher M 10 A 1 M(27)
another illusion that replaces the first, so both can finally disappear M 7 A 1 M(34)
both can finally disappear. The first illusion, which must be displaced M 7 A 1 M(34)
of God to master. His first responsibility in this is not M 18 A 1 M(44)
truth; one is but the first small step in the direction M 20 A 2 M(49)
M 21 A 2 First, how can the peace of M 21 A 2 M(50)
s peace is recognized at first by just one thing; in M 21 A 2 M(50)
quiet. Only that. The contrast first perceived is merely gone. Quiet M 21 A 2 M(50)

plan since he was the first to complete his own part U 7 A 2 U(11)
place of God to ascendance, first through Christs vision and P 3 C 5 P(6)
the road by seeing them first. Ideally, he is also a P 3 D 1 P(8)
correction cannot be achieved by first establishing the rightness of the P 3 E 7 P(10)
which never reach to consciousness. First, it is ushered in by P 3 F 1 P(12)
To hear it is the first step in recovery. To question P 3 G 1 P(14)
can be heard instead. But first the willingness to question the P 3 G 2 P(14)
P 4 B 2 First, the professional therapist is in P 4 B 2 P(21)
the beginning stage of the first journey. Even those who have P 4 B 8 P(23)
merely added. You have sought first the Kingdom of Heaven, and S 1 B 3 S(4)
Yet it is likely at first that what is asked for S 1 E 2 S(9)
it rises up, slowly at first, and grows in strength and S 1 F 1 S(10)
s kindness is obscure at first, because salvation is not understood S 2 B 1 S(12)
to achieve this end you first must learn, before you reach S 2 B 9 S(15)
2 In this group, first, there are the forms in S 2 C 2 S(15)
form, still very like the first if it is understood, does S 2 C 3 S(15)
