IDLE........................43
example, you say, Just an idle thought, and mean that the T 2 E 4 (40)
is that there ARE no idle thoughts. ALL thinking produces form T 2 E 7 (40)
His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification WITH T 7 K 5 (184)
is between the egos idle wishes and the Will of T 10 F 5 (266)
past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the present, and T 13 D 4 (342)
Spirits vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be T 20 C 6 (550)
senseless means to play the idle game of death in your T 20 I 7 (571)
you see is but the idle witness that you were right T 21 C 5 (579)
senseless plot conceived within the idle dreaming of the world. T 27 H 8 (753)
Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified Gods T 27 H 12 (754)
Son of God, behold your idle dream, in which this could T 27 I 9 (758)

self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to W 16 L 2 (28)
world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have contributes W 16 L 2 (28)
In addition to never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize W 16 L 3 (28)
turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try W 41 L 6 (69)
yourself that this is no idle game, but an exercise in W 45 L 8 (79)
protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to W 50 L 5 (88)
in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked W 63 L 2 (116)
catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped your attention W 65 L 6 (120)
that this will be no idle fantasy. 9. For W 70 L 8 (133)
same as the egos idle wishes, out of which darkness W 73 L 1 (141)
in it. The egos idle wishes are unshared, and therefore W 73 L 1 (141)
all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they W 73 L 1 (141)
very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation W 73 L 1 (141)
is real. 2. Idle wishes and grievances are partners W 73 L 2 (141)
has vanished; the egos idle wishes have been withdrawn. Yet W 73 L 4 (141)
your will to remember. No idle wishes can detain us, nor W 73 L 8 (142)
from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is now W 73 L 9 (143)
I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only Gods plan W 86 RII 2 (169)
you do not dwell on idle shadows which the bodys W 92 L 8 (179)
reference point, from which such idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughtsW 93 L 3 (180)
and peace are not but idle dreams. They are your right W 104 L 1 (208)
He will shine through your idle thoughts today, and help you W 127 L 8 (259)
the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about W 132 L 14 (276)
in God, and not in idle dreams. For cure must come W 140 L 5 (308)

those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And He will reinterpret W 151 L 12 (318)
seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The W 153 L 4 (324)
of God. This is no idle wish. These words do not W 185 L 7 (403)
is what you will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your W 190 L 7 (420)
lack of structuring. Permit no idle thought to go unchallenged. If W 200 RVI 5 (453)

 IDLY........................8
be used and not held idly by. They have already proved T 16 C 11 (430)
ARE. And what illusion that idly seems to drift between Them T 24 A 1 (644)
as true of what is idly wished as what is truly T 26 H 14 (718)
its seeing be perceived as idly spent, a time unoccupied. T 27 D 3 (738)
DREAM. And so you wander idly in and out of places T 27 I 4 (757)
and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for

T 28 H 4 (781)
held dear. No rules are idly set, and no demands are T 30 F 1 (823)
let your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice W 111 RIII 10 (229)
 
 IDOL........................59
an image, or better, an idol, which you may worship out T 7 F 11 (167)
is to worship the same idol he does. God created love T 9 I 10 (243)
sick god MUST be an idol, made in the image of T 9 I 11 (243)
very vulnerable. Is THIS the idol you would worship? Is THIS T 9 I 11 (243)
hidden and to protect this idol, which you think will save T 9 I 11 (243)
from the dangers which the idol itself STANDS FOR, but which T 9 I 11 (243)
not WANT this. For every idol which you raise to place T 16 F 13 (442)
body is the egos idol; the belief in sin made T 20 G 11 (566)
created not. And yet, this idol that seems to GIVE you T 24 D 2 (653)
both in misery, before the idol that can save you not T 24 D 2 (653)
will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found T 29 H 1 (799)
no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God T 29 H 1 (799)
and does not understand the idol that he seeks IS but T 29 H 3 (799)
This is the purpose every idol has, for this the role T 29 H 3 (799)
a message other than an idol found that represents a parody T 29 H 5 (800)
completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not T 29 H 6 (800)
made of your reality an idol, which you must protect against T 29 H 8 (801)
the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus T 29 H 8 (801)
death is NOTHING lost. An idol CANNOT take the place of T 29 H 9 (801)
1 What is an idol? Do you think you know T 29 I 1 (802)
they have been made. An idol is an image of your T 29 I 1 (802)
29 I 3 An idol is a false impression, or T 29 I 3 (802)
and what you see. An idol is a wish, made tangible T 29 I 3 (802)
5 What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed T 29 I 5 (803)
created, so it IS. An idol is ESTABLISHED by belief, and T 29 I 5 (803)
when it is withdrawn, the idol dies. T 29 I T 29 I 5 (803)
7 Where is an idol? Nowhere! Can there be a T 29 I 7 (803)
no place to be. An idol is beyond where God has T 29 I 7 (803)
Nothing and nowhere must an idol be, while God is everything T 29 I 7 (803)
What purpose has an idol, then? What is it FOR T 29 I 8 (804)
MORE of something is an idol FOR. And when one fails T 29 I 8 (804)
forms the something takes. An idol is a means for getting T 29 I 8 (804)
you, as of Himself. No idol can establish you as MORE T 29 I 9 (804)
you FROM. Thus does and idol KEEP the dream alive and T 29 J 3 (805)
and despair? And this the idol represents, and so its worship T 29 J 3 (805)
be sure you made an idol, and believe it will betray T 29 J 9 (807)
of God the Son? What idol can make two of what T 30 D 2 (816)
You do not WANT an idol. It is not your will T 30 D 2 (816)
see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a T 30 D 2 (816)
Behind the search for every idol lies the yearning for completion T 30 D 3 (816)
is the PURPOSE of an idol; that you will not look T 30 D 3 (816)
It never is the IDOL that you want. But what T 30 D 4 (816)
the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to T 30 D 4 (817)
as God created him. What idol can he need to be T 30 D 5 (817)
of more than one. An idol OR the Thought God holds T 30 D 11 (819)
WANT whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son T 30 E 6 (821)
and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has T 30 F 7 (824)
in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of this T 30 F 10 (825)
never was a time an idol brought You anything except the T 30 F 10 (825)
And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will T 30 F 10 (825)
and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on faith T 30 G 7 (829)
having power to make an idol of the Son of God T 30 G 10 (829)
at all. It is an idol, made to take the place T 31 E 2 (850)
to see to it the idol lasts.

T 31 E 4 (850)
about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshipped, and adored that W 92 L 4 (178)
God Himself perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is W 163 L 4 (356)
a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he W 170 L 8 (378)
Or will you make another idol to replace it? For the W 170 L 8 (378)
partial healing, nor accept an idol for remembrance of Him Whose S 3 E 3 S(26)
