aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond	T 1 A 2 (1)
the blocks to the awareness of Loves Presence, Which is	T 1 A 2 (1)
your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what	T 1 A 2 (1)
exists. Herein lies the Peace of God. B. Principles of	T 1 A 3 (1)
of God. B. Principles of Miracles T	T 1 B 0 (1)
There is no order of difficulty among miracles. One is	T 1 B 1 (1)
all the same. All expressions of love are maximal. T	T 1 B 1 (1)
Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is	T 1 B 3 (1)
and God is the Giver of life. His Voice will direct	T 1 B 4 (1)
Miracles are a kind of exchange. Like all expressions of	T 1 B 9 (2)
of exchange. Like all expressions of love, which are ALWAYS miraculous	T 1 B 9 (2)
B 10 The use of miracles as spectacles to INDUCE	T 1 B 10 (2)
or, better, is a misunderstanding of their purpose. They are really	T 1 B 10 (2)
Prayer is the medium of miracles. Prayer is the natural	T 1 B 11 (2)
Prayer is the natural communication of the created with the Creator	T 1 B 11 (2)
order. They are always affirmations of rebirth, which seem to go	T 1 B 13 (2)
or rather, the uncreative use of mind. T 1 B	T 1 B 14 (2)
devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable man	T 1 B 15 (2)
They simultaneously increase the strength of the giver and supply strength	T 1 B 16 (2)
Miracles are the transcendence of the body. They are sudden	T 1 B 17 (2)
invisibility, away from a sense of lower-order reality. That is why	T 1 B 17 (2)
another. It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself	T 1 B 18 (3)
the Sonship is the sum of all the Souls God created	T 1 B 19 (3)
therefore rest on the laws of eternity, not of time.	T 1 B 19 (3)
the laws of eternity, not of time. T 1 B	T 1 B 19 (3)
the body, is the altar of truth. This is the recognition	T 1 B 20 (3)
leads to the healing power of the miracle. T 1	T 1 B 20 (3)
Miracles are natural expressions of total forgiveness. Through miracles, man	T 1 B 21 (3)
associated with fear only because of the fallacious belief that darkness	T 1 B 22 (3)
has led to a denial of the Spiritual eye. The escape	T 1 B 22 (3)
perception, and place the levels of perception in true perspective. This	T 1 B 23a (3)
this, you cannot avail yourselves of MY efforts, which ARE limitless	T 1 B 23b (3)
Why not use the illusion of time constructively?	T 1 B 23b (3)
YOU are a miracle, capable of creating in the likeness of	T 1 B 24 (4)
of creating in the likeness of your Creator. Everything else is	T 1 B 24 (4)
not exist. Only the Creations of Light are real. T	T 1 B 24 (4)
25a Miracles are part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness	T 1 B 25a (4)
part of an interlocking chain of forgiveness which, when completed, is	T 1 B 25a (4)
and in all the dimensions of time. T 1 B	T 1 B 25a (4)
I am in charge of the process of Atonement, which	T 1 B 25 b (4)
in charge of the process of Atonement, which I undertook to	T 1 B 25 b (4)
offer a miracle unto any of my brothers, you do it	T 1 B 25 b (4)
you fail temporarily. The purpose of my part in the Atonement	T 1 B 25 b (4)
Atonement is the cancelling out of all lacks of love which	T 1 B 25 b (4)
cancelling out of all lacks of love which men could not	T 1 B 25 b (4)
should be changed to lack of love, because sin is a	T 1 B 25 b (4)
really means undoing. The undoing of fear is an essential part	T 1 B 26a (4)
fear is an essential part of the Atonement value of miracles	T 1 B 26a (4)
part of the Atonement value of miracles. T 1 B	T 1 B 26a (4)
B 26b The purpose of the Atonement is to restore	T 1 B 26b (4)
been restored to the recognition of your original state, you naturally	T 1 B 26b (4)
state, you naturally become part of the Atonement yourself. As you	T 1 B 26b (4)
MY inability to tolerate lack of love in yourself and others	T 1 B 26b (4)
brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.	T 1 B 27a (5)
specifically told to be physicians of the Lord and to heal	T 1 B 27b (5)
Atonement is the natural profession of the Children of God, because	T 1 B 27b (5)
natural profession of the Children of God, because they have professed	T 1 B 27b (5)
eternal. YOU are the work of God, and His work is	T 1 B 27b (5)
how a man MUST think of himself in his heart, because	T 1 B 27b (5)
Miracles are a means of organizing different levels of consciousness	T 1 B 28a (5)
means of organizing different levels of consciousness. T 1 B	T 1 B 28a (5)
the world, and is capable of responding to both. Having no	T 1 B 28b (5)
induces complete but temporary suspension of doubt and fear. It represents	T 1 B 28c (5)
It represents the original form of communication between God and His	T 1 B 28c (5)
involving an extremely personal sense of closeness to Creation, which man	T 1 B 28c (5)
he believes. The deeper levels of the subconscious ALWAYS contain the	T 1 B 28d (6)
to consciousness, with the impulses of this world, and to identify	T 1 B 28d (6)
Miracles are a way of EARNING release from fear.	T 1 B 29 (6)
are more useful now, because of their interpersonal nature. In this	T 1 B 29b (6)
interpersonal nature. In this phase of learning, working miracles is more	T 1 B 29b (6)
he really is. The Children of God are very holy, and	T 1 B 31a (6)
raise him into the sphere of celestial order. In THIS order	T 1 B 32a (7)
miracle joins in the Atonement of Christ by placing the mind	T 1 B 32b (7)
the mind in the service of the Spirit. This establishes the	T 1 B 32b (7)
This establishes the proper function of the mind, and corrects its	T 1 B 32b (7)
empty shell, and is unaware of the Spirit within it. But	T 1 B 33 (7)
establish perfect protection. The strength of the Soul leaves no room	T 1 B 34a (7)
return. It is the duty of the released to release their	T 1 B 34a (7)
The forgiven ARE the means of Atonement. Those released by Christ	T 1 B 34b (7)
for this is the Plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the	T 1 B 34b (7)
for the salvation, or release, of all Gods Creations.	T 1 B 34b (7)
35 Miracles are expressions of love, but it does NOT	T 1 B 35 (7)
Christ-controlled miracles are part of the Atonement, but Christ-guidance is	T 1 B 36a (7)
PERSONAL salvation. The impersonal nature of miracles is an essential	T 1 B 36a (7)
to the highly PERSONAL experience of Revelation. This is why it	T 1 B 36a (8)
temptation means guide us out of our own errors. Take up	T 1 B 36a (8)
Soul is in a state of grace forever. Mans reality	T 1 B 36b (8)
man is in a state of grace forever. Atonement undoes all	T 1 B 36b (8)
thus uproots the REAL source of fear. Whenever Gods reassurances	T 1 B 36b (8)
always involves. Error is lack of love. When man projects this	T 1 B 36b (8)
them vulnerable to the distortions of others, since their OWN perception	T 1 B 36b (8)
others, since their OWN perception of themselves is distorted. The miracle	T 1 B 36b (8)
37 Miracles are examples of right thinking. Reality contact at	T 1 B 37 (8)
accurate, thus permitting correct delineation of intra- and interpersonal boundaries. As	T 1 B 37 (8)
Until this has occurred, revelation of the Divine order is impossible	T 1 B 38 (8)
Spiritual eye is the mechanism of miracles because what It perceives	T 1 B 39 (9)
It perceives both the Creations of God and the creations of	T 1 B 39 (9)
of God and the creations of man. Among the creations of	T 1 B 39 (9)
of man. Among the creations of man, It can also separate	T 1 B 39 (9)
40b Darkness is lack of light, as sin is lack	T 1 B 40b (9)
light, as sin is lack of love. It has no unique	T 1 B 40b (9)
It has no unique properties of its own. It is an	T 1 B 40b (9)
own. It is an example of the scarcity fallacy, from which	T 1 B 40b (9)
no need for driven behavior of ANY kind. T 1	T 1 B 40b (9)
mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of	T 1 B 41a (9)
of perceiving the universal mark of God in them. The specialness	T 1 B 41a (9)
God in them. The specialness of Gods Sons does NOT	T 1 B 41a (9)
they believe they are deprived of anything, their perception becomes distorted	T 1 B 41a (9)
this occurs, the whole family of God, or the Sonship, is	T 1 B 41a (9)
its relationships. Ultimately, every member of the family of God must	T 1 B 41a (9)
every member of the family of God must return. The miracle	T 1 B 41a (9)
WOULD be mocked if any of His Creations lacked holiness. The	T 1 B 41b (9)
IS whole, and the mark of wholeness is holiness. T	T 1 B 41b (9)
Wholeness is the perceptual content of miracles. It thus corrects, or	T 1 B 42a (9)
atones for, the faulty perception of lack anywhere. T 1	T 1 B 42a (9)
will also determine the kind of response that is evoked. Behavior	T 1 B 42b (9)
This means that the perception of BOTH must be accurate. The	T 1 B 42c (10)
appropriate behavior DEPENDS on lack of level confusion. The presence of	T 1 B 42c (10)
of level confusion. The presence of level confusion ALWAYS results in	T 1 B 42c (10)
your neighbor are equal members of the same family, as you	T 1 B 42c (10)
look out from the perception of your OWN holiness, and perceive	T 1 B 42c (10)
holiness, and perceive the holiness of others. T 1 B	T 1 B 42c (10)
there has been a confusion of levels. Death is a human	T 1 B 42d (10)
Death is a human affirmation of a belief in fate, or	T 1 B 42d (10)
belief in deprivation in favor of the abundance they have learned	T 1 B 42e (10)
43a A MAJOR contribution of miracles is their strength in	T 1 B 43a (10)
man from his misplaced sense of isolation, deprivation and lack.	T 1 B 43a (10)
43b Miracles are affirmations of Sonship, which is a state	T 1 B 43b (10)
Sonship, which is a state of completion ---	T 1 B 43b (10)
Soul creates along the line of its own Creation. If it	T 1 B 43c (11)
because such are the dictates of tyrants. To change your mind	T 1 B 43c (11)
place it at the disposal of TRUE Authority. T 1	T 1 B 43c (11)
in His service. The abundance of Christ is the natural result	T 1 B 43d (11)
Christ is the natural result of choosing to follow Him. ALL	T 1 B 43d (11)
made to hold, is one of the distortions on which the	T 1 B 43d (11)
distortions on which the REVERSAL of the Golden Rule rests. As	T 1 B 43d (11)
arise from a miraculous state of mind. By being one, this	T 1 B 44 (11)
By being one, this state of mind goes out to ANYONE	T 1 B 44 (11)
ANYONE, even without the awareness of the miracle worker himself. The	T 1 B 44 (11)
worker himself. The impersonal nature of miracles is because the Atonement	T 1 B 44 (11)
The miracle is an expression of an inner awareness of Christ	T 1 B 45 (11)
expression of an inner awareness of Christ, and the acceptance of	T 1 B 45 (11)
of Christ, and the acceptance of His Atonement. The mind is	T 1 B 45 (11)
is then in a state of grace, and naturally becomes gracious	T 1 B 45 (11)
know, and sometimes produces undreamed of changes in forces of which	T 1 B 46a (11)
undreamed of changes in forces of which you are not even	T 1 B 46a (11)
They are still expressions of your own state of grace	T 1 B 46b (12)
expressions of your own state of grace, but the ACTION aspect	T 1 B 46b (12)
grace, but the ACTION aspect of the miracle should be Christ-	T 1 B 46b (12)
should be Christ- controlled because of His complete awareness of the	T 1 B 46b (12)
because of His complete awareness of the Whole Plan. The impersonal	T 1 B 46b (12)
Whole Plan. The impersonal nature of miracle-mindedness ensures YOUR grace, but	T 1 B 46b (12)
because it is the APPLICATION of miracles which must be Christ-controlled	T 1 B 47 (12)
which are the VOLUNTARY aspects of miracle-mindedness, ARE up to you	T 1 B 47 (12)
because it is an experience of unspeakable love. Awe should be	T 1 B 48b (12)
for miracles because a state of awe is worshipful. It implies	T 1 B 48b (12)
worshipful. It implies that one of a lesser order stands before	T 1 B 48b (12)
awe only in the Presence of the Creator of perfection.	T 1 B 48b (12)
the Presence of the Creator of perfection. T 1 B	T 1 B 48b (12)
other hand, is a sign of love among equals. Equals cannot	T 1 B 48c (12)
Equals cannot be in awe of one another because awe implies	T 1 B 48c (12)
leaves me in a state of true holiness, which is only	T 1 B 48c (12)
below God. In the process of rising up, I AM higher	T 1 B 48d (13)
hand, and as a Son of God on the other. My	T 1 B 48e (13)
has placed me in charge of the Sonship, which I can	T 1 B 48e (13)
The original statement was are of one kind). The Holy Spirit	T 1 B 48e (13)
Holy Spirit is the Bringer of Revelations. Revelations are INDIRECTLY inspired	T 1 B 48e (13)
and alert to the revelation-readiness of my brothers. I can thus	T 1 B 48e (13)
do not involve this type of communication because they are TEMPORARY	T 1 B 49 (13)
returns to his original form of communication with God, the need	T 1 B 49 (13)
or horizontal plane, the recognition of the true equality of all	T 1 B 50a (13)
recognition of the true equality of all the members of the	T 1 B 50a (13)
equality of all the members of the Sonship appears to involve	T 1 B 50a (13)
thus has the unique property of shortening time by rendering the	T 1 B 50b (13)
time by rendering the space of time it occupies unnecessary. There	T 1 B 50b (13)
that might have taken thousands of years. It does this by	T 1 B 50b (14)
this by the underlying recognition of perfect equality and holiness between	T 1 B 50b (14)
does this by a process of COLLAPSING it, and thus abolishing	T 1 B 50c (14)
NOT under the usual laws of time. Only in this sense	T 1 B 50c (14)
does. It rearranges the distribution of light. T 1 B	T 1 B 50c (14)
the Souls original state of direct communication is reached, neither	T 1 B 51b (14)
between loveless and miraculous channels of expression. He can make an	T 1 B 51b (14)
He can destroy his medium of communication, but NOT his potential	T 1 B 51b (14)
to decide. The basic decision of the miracle-minded is not to	T 1 B 51c (14)
he recognizes that every collapse of time brings all men closer	T 1 B 51c (14)
shared by ALL the Sons of God. God is NOT partial	T 1 B 51d (15)
cannot know the real power of the Son in his true	T 1 B 51d (15)
NEEDS it. While the concept of lack does not exist in	T 1 B 51e (15)
not exist in the Creation of God, it is VERY apparent	T 1 B 51e (15)
VERY apparent in the creations of man. It is, in fact	T 1 B 51e (15)
became the most powerful source of motivation for human action. All	T 1 B 51f (15)
according to the particular hierarchy of needs he establishes for himself	T 1 B 51g (15)
turn, depends on his perception of what he IS; that is	T 1 B 51g (15)
what he LACKS. A sense of separation from God is the	T 1 B 51g (15)
needs to correct. This sense of separation would never have occurred	T 1 B 51g (15)
had not distorted his perception of truth, and thus perceived HIMSELF	T 1 B 51g (15)
HIMSELF as lacking. The concept of ANY sort of need hierarchy	T 1 B 51g (15)
The concept of ANY sort of need hierarchy arose because, having	T 1 B 51g (15)
because it produces a lack of ambivalence. The concept of a	T 1 B 51h (16)
lack of ambivalence. The concept of a need hierarchy, a corollary	T 1 B 51h (16)
own level, before the error of perceiving levels at all can	T 1 B 51h (16)
The concept is really one of space- Time BELIEF. T	T 1 B 51h (16)
can never control the effects of fear himself because he MADE	T 1 B 51i (16)
B 51j Every aspect of fear proceeds from upside-down perception	T 1 B 51j (16)
by establishing the certain truth of his own errors. It is	T 1 B 51j (16)
consistent in his own denial of truth. The miracle, however, makes	T 1 B 51j (16)
makes NO distinction among degrees of misperception. It is a device	T 1 B 52a (16)
the degree or the direction of the error. This is its	T 1 B 52a (16)
to others, a strong chain of Atonement ---	T 1 B 52b (16)
takes no account at all of the magnitude of the miracle	T 1 B 52b (17)
at all of the magnitude of the miracle itself, because the	T 1 B 52b (17)
miracle itself, because the concept of size exists in a plane	T 1 B 52b (17)
aims at RESTORING the awareness of reality it would hardly be	T 1 B 52b (17)
Only man makes this kind of mistake. It is an example	T 1 B 52b (17)
mistake. It is an example of the foolish consistency which his	T 1 B 52b (17)
The power and strength of mans creative will must	T 1 B 52c (17)
understood before the real meaning of denial can be appreciated and	T 1 B 52c (17)
at all at the level of true creation. T 1	T 1 B 52c (17)
DISCORD as false. ALL aspects of fear are untrue because they	T 1 B 53a (17)
C. Distortions of Miracle Impulses	T 1 C 0 (18)
to reach consciousness. The nature of any interpersonal relationship is limited	T 1 C 1 (18)
DO. Relating is a way of achieving an outcome. The danger	T 1 C 1 (18)
achieving an outcome. The danger of defenses lies in their propensity	T 1 C 1 (18)
are literally the behavioral expressions of those who know not what	T 1 C 1 (18)
vengeance, self-debasement, and all kinds of expressions of lack of love	T 1 C 2 (18)
and all kinds of expressions of lack of love are often	T 1 C 2 (18)
kinds of expressions of lack of love are often very clearly	T 1 C 2 (18)
C 3 The confusion of miracle impulses with physical impulses	T 1 C 3 (18)
impulses is a major source of perceptual distortion because it INDUCES	T 1 C 3 (18)
confusion which underlies the perception of all those who seek happiness	T 1 C 3 (18)
seek happiness with the instruments of this world. Inappropriate physical impulses	T 1 C 3 (18)
doing It is a denial of self. DENIAL of error results	T 1 C 3 (18)
a denial of self. DENIAL of error results in projection. CORRECTION	T 1 C 3 (18)
error results in projection. CORRECTION of error brings release. Lead us	T 1 C 3 (18)
1 C 4 Child of God, you were created to	T 1 C 4 (18)
holy. Do not lose sight of this. The love of God	T 1 C 4 (18)
sight of this. The love of God, for a little while	T 1 C 4 (18)
physical eye. The ultimate purpose of the body is to render	T 1 C 4 (19)
1 C 5 Fantasies of any kind are distorted forms	T 1 C 5 (19)
any kind are distorted forms of thinking because they ALWAYS involve	T 1 C 5 (19)
Fantasy is a debased form of vision. Vision and revelation are	T 1 C 5 (19)
former role in the plan of Atonement, but you must still	T 1 C 5 (19)
is not complete. COMPLETE restoration of the Sonship is the only	T 1 C 5 (19)
is the only true goal of the miracle-minded. T 1	T 1 C 5 (19)
are true. They are distortions of perception, by definition. They are	T 1 C 6 (19)
definition. They are a means of making false associations, and obtaining	T 1 C 6 (19)
belief in THEM. The strength of HIS conviction will then sustain	T 1 C 6 (19)
will then sustain the belief of the miracle receiver. And fantasies	T 1 C 6 (19)
as the wholly satisfying nature of reality becomes apparent to both	T 1 C 6 (19)
Chapter 2 - THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION A. Introduction	T 2 0 0 (20)
deals with a fundamental misuse of knowledge, referred to in the	T 2 A 1 (20)
the Bible as the cause of the fall, or separation. There	T 2 A 1 (20)
Nevertheless, the fact that each of them does appear in the	T 2 A 1 (20)
the screen for the misuse of projection. T 2 A	T 2 A 1 (20)
A 2 The Garden of Eden, which is described as	T 2 A 2 (20)
was merely a mental state of complete need-lack. Even in the	T 2 A 2 (20)
man needed nothing. The tree of knowledge is also an overly	T 2 A 2 (20)
clarified before the real meaning of the separation, or the detour	T 2 A 2 (20)
above, is a fundamental attribute of God, which He gave to	T 2 A 3 (20)
NO emptiness in it. Because of its likeness to its Creator	T 2 A 3 (20)
it is creative. No Child of God can lose this ability	T 2 A 3 (20)
his OWN ideas there INSTEAD of truth. T 2 A	T 2 A 3 (20)
be CHANGED by the mind of man. T 2 A	T 2 A 5 (21)
man can distort the Creations of God, INCLUDING HIMSELF, is accepted	T 2 A 7 (21)
can create himself, the direction of his own creation is up	T 2 A 8 (21)
related distortions represent a picture of what actually occurred in the	T 2 A 9 (21)
occurred in the separation. None of this existed before, nor does	T 2 A 9 (21)
division, or a projecting outward of God. That is why everything	T 2 A 9 (21)
very similar to the kind of inner radiance which the Children	T 2 A 9 (21)
inner radiance which the Children of the Father inherit from Him	T 2 A 9 (21)
implies that the REAL source of projection is internal. This is	T 2 A 9 (21)
internal. This is as true of the Son as of the	T 2 A 9 (21)
true of the Son as of the Father. T 2	T 2 A 9 (21)

included both the proper Creation of man by God AND the	T 2 A 10 (21)
The latter required the endowment of man by God with free	T 2 A 10 (21)
these statements implies any sort of level involvement, or, in fact	T 2 A 10 (21)
anything except one continuous line of creation, in which all aspects	T 2 A 10 (21)
in which all aspects are of the same order. T	T 2 A 10 (21)
11 When the lies of the serpent were introduced, they	T 2 A 11 (21)
chooses to do so. All of his miscreations can literally disappear	T 2 A 11 (21)
literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye, because they are	T 2 A 11 (21)
A 12 The history of man in the world as	T 2 A 12 (21)
man projects in the spirit of miscreation. It still remains within	T 2 A 12 (22)
ability to USURP the power of God. It can only be	T 2 A 13 (22)
brought about by his acceptance of the Atonement, which places him	T 2 A 13 (22)
the light itself as part of his own dream, and be	T 2 A 13 (22)
own dream, and be afraid of it. However, when he awakens	T 2 A 13 (22)
NOT depend on the kind of knowledge which is nothing more	T 2 A 14 (22)
lies you may believe are of no concern to the miracle	T 2 A 14 (22)
miracle, which can heal ANY of them with equal ease. It	T 2 A 14 (22)
one hand, and ALL kinds of errors on the other. Some	T 2 A 14 (22)
miracles may SEEM to be of greater magnitude than others, but	T 2 A 14 (22)
that there is NO order of difficulty in miracles. T	T 2 A 14 (22)
perfectly unaffected by ALL expressions of lack of love. These can	T 2 A 15 (22)
by ALL expressions of lack of love. These can be either	T 2 A 15 (22)
mental illness is some form of EXTERNAL searching. Mental health is	T 2 A 15 (22)
to remain unshaken by lack of love from without, and capable	T 2 A 15 (22)
capable, through your own miracles, of correcting the external conditions which	T 2 A 15 (22)
conditions which proceed from lack of love in others.	T 2 A 15 (22)
B. The Reinterpretation of Defenses T	T 2 B 0 (23)
When you are afraid of ANYTHING, you are acknowledging its	T 2 B 1 (23)
is why the Bible speaks of The peace of God which	T 2 B 1 (23)
Bible speaks of The peace of God which PASSETH (human) understanding	T 2 B 1 (23)
THIS peace is totally incapable of being shaken by human errors	T 2 B 1 (23)
being shaken by human errors of ANY kind. It denies the	T 2 B 1 (23)
kind. It denies the ability of ANYTHING which is not of	T 2 B 1 (23)
of ANYTHING which is not of God to affect you in	T 2 B 1 (23)
This is the PROPER use of denial. It is not used	T 2 B 2 (23)
can hurt you. This kind of denial is not a concealment	T 2 B 2 (23)
correction device. The right mind of the mentally healthy DEPENDS on	T 2 B 2 (23)
be performed in the spirit of doubt. T 2 B	T 2 B 2 (23)
on each other. The creation of the Soul has already been	T 2 B 3 (23)
to teach man the meaning of mercy. Its judgmental side arises	T 2 B 4 (23)
only because man is capable of INjustice, if that is what	T 2 B 4 (23)
mind creates. You are afraid of Gods Will	T 2 B 4 (23)
He created in the likeness of His Own, to MISCREATE. What	T 2 B 4 (24)
assert itself. The real meaning of are of one kind, which	T 2 B 4 (24)
The real meaning of are of one kind, which was mentioned	T 2 B 4 (24)
was mentioned before, is are of one mind or will. When	T 2 B 4 (24)
or will. When the Will of the Sonship and the Father	T 2 B 4 (24)
2 B 5 Denial of error is a powerful defense	T 2 B 5 (24)
error is a powerful defense of truth. You will note that	T 2 B 5 (24)
negative to the positive use of denial. As we have already	T 2 B 5 (24)
remember a very early thought of your own; - Never underestimate	T 2 B 5 (24)
- Never underestimate the power of denial. In the service of	T 2 B 5 (24)
of denial. In the service of the right mind, the denial	T 2 B 5 (24)
the right mind, the denial of ERROR frees the mind and	T 2 B 5 (24)
mind and re-establishes the freedom of the will. When the will	T 2 B 5 (24)
False projection arises out of false denial, NOT out of	T 2 B 6 (24)
of false denial, NOT out of its proper use. My own	T 2 B 6 (24)
in the Atonement is one of TRUE projection; I can project	T 2 B 6 (24)
project to YOU the affirmation of truth. If you project error	T 2 B 6 (24)
with the process. MY use of projection, which can also be	T 2 B 6 (24)
however, the very powerful use of the denial of errors. The	T 2 B 6 (24)
powerful use of the denial of errors. The miracle worker is	T 2 B 6 (24)
one who accepts my kind of denial and projection, unites his	T 2 B 6 (24)
This establishes the total LACK of threat anywhere. Together we can	T 2 B 6 (24)
work for the real time of peace, which is eternal.	T 2 B 6 (24)
7 The improper use of defenses is quite widely recognized	T 2 B 7 (24)
create mans perception, both of himself and of the world	T 2 B 7 (24)
perception, both of himself and of the world. They can distort	T 2 B 7 (24)
properly employed in the service of withdrawing from the meaningless. It	T 2 B 10 (25)
error, but only in defense of integration. T 2 B	T 2 B 11 (25)
is essentially a weaker form of dissociation. T 2 B	T 2 B 12 (25)
properly used as a way of putting distance between yourself and	T 2 B 14 (25)
Sublimation should be a redirection of effort to the sublime.	T 2 B 16 (25)
due essentially to the misuse of defenses. Among them is the	T 2 B 17 (25)
Among them is the concept of different levels of aspiration, which	T 2 B 17 (25)
the concept of different levels of aspiration, which actually result from	T 2 B 17 (25)
to clarify after the value of the goal itself is firmly	T 2 B 18 (25)
can, however, save a lot of time if you do not	T 2 B 18 (25)
Atonement itself was an ACT of love. Acts were not necessary	T 2 B 19 (26)
the separation that the defense of Atonement, and the necessary conditions	T 2 B 19 (26)
became increasingly apparent that all of the defenses which man can	T 2 B 20 (26)
turn it into a weapon of attack, which is the inherent	T 2 B 20 (26)
which is the inherent characteristic of all other defenses. The Atonement	T 2 B 20 (26)
offered their efforts on behalf of the separated ones, but they	T 2 B 21 (26)
could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to	T 2 B 21 (26)
has no value when change of understanding is no longer necessary	T 2 B 22 (27)
perfection is NOT a matter of degree. Only while there are	T 2 B 23 (27)
is learning meaningful. The evolution of man is merely a process	T 2 B 23 (27)
At this point, the bridge of the return has been built	T 2 B 24 (27)
literally take it over because of their strength. A two-way defense	T 2 B 25 (27)
The miracle turns the defense of Atonement to the protection of	T 2 B 26 (27)
of Atonement to the protection of the inner self, which, as	T 2 B 26 (27)
secure, assumes its natural talent of protecting others. The inner self	T 2 B 26 (27)
disrupted there is a period of --- Manuscript	T 2 B 26 (27)
same thing. In the reinterpretation of defenses, only their use for	T 2 B 26 (28)
that is why your experience of it has been minimal. The	T 2 B 27 (28)
has been minimal. The reinterpretation of defenses is essential in releasing	T 2 B 27 (28)
step in correcting this kind of distortion. It alters part of	T 2 B 28 (28)
of distortion. It alters part of the misperception, but not all	T 2 B 28 (28)
the misperception, but not all of it. It DOES recognize, however	T 2 B 28 (28)
recognize, however, that the concept of Atonement in physical terms is	T 2 B 28 (28)
church buildings is a sign of their FEAR of Atonement, and	T 2 B 28 (28)
a sign of their FEAR of Atonement, and their unwillingness to	T 2 B 28 (28)
altar itself. The REAL beauty of the temple cannot be seen	T 2 B 28 (28)
Atonement belongs at the center of the inner altar, where it	T 2 B 29 (28)
separation and restores the wholeness of the mind. Before the separation	T 2 B 29 (28)
AND the fear are miscreations of the ---	T 2 B 29 (28)
is meant by the restoration of the temple. It does not	T 2 B 29 (29)
does not mean the restoration of the building, but the opening	T 2 B 29 (29)
the building, but the opening of the altar to receive the	T 2 B 29 (29)
B 30 The acceptance of the Atonement by everyone is	T 2 B 30 (29)
everyone is only a matter of time. In fact, both time	T 2 B 30 (29)
to contradict free will because of the inevitability of the final	T 2 B 30 (29)
will because of the inevitability of the final decision. If you	T 2 B 30 (29)
some way by the manner of its creation. Free will can	T 2 B 30 (29)
can temporize, and is capable of enormous procrastination. But it cannot	T 2 B 30 (29)
ability to miscreate by virtue of its own REAL purpose.	T 2 B 30 (29)
B 31 The misuse of will engenders a situation which	T 2 B 31 (29)
the two types or levels of perception is usually experienced as	T 2 B 31 (29)
repaired and protected. Perfectly aware of the RIGHT defense, It passes	T 2 B 32 (29)
past error to truth. Because of the real strength of ITS	T 2 B 32 (29)
Because of the real strength of ITS vision, It pulls the	T 2 B 32 (29)
This re-establishes the true power of the will, and makes it	T 2 B 32 (29)
delay is only a way of increasing unnecessary pain which it	T 2 B 32 (29)
regarded as very minor intrusions of discomfort. T 2 B	T 2 B 32 (30)
B 33 The Children of God are ENTITLED to perfect	T 2 B 33 (30)
which comes from a sense of perfect trust. Until they achieve	T 2 B 33 (30)
obviously arises from their misperception of themselves. Egocentricity and communion CANNOT	T 2 B 33 (30)
only gift that is worthy of being offered to the altar	T 2 B 34 (30)
being offered to the altar of God. This is because of	T 2 B 34 (30)
of God. This is because of the inestimable value of the	T 2 B 34 (30)
because of the inestimable value of the altar itself. It was	T 2 B 34 (30)
perfect, and is entirely worthy of receiving perfection. God IS lonely	T 2 B 34 (30)
the world as a means of HEALING the separation. The Atonement	T 2 B 34 (30)
the result. Those who speak of a miracle of healing are	T 2 C 1 (31)
who speak of a miracle of healing are combining two orders	T 2 C 1 (31)
healing are combining two orders of reality inappropriately. Healing is NOT	T 2 C 1 (31)
a REMEDY, while any type of healing is a result. The	T 2 C 1 (31)
is a result. The KIND of error to which Atonement is	T 2 C 1 (31)
do not understand healing because of your OWN fear. T	T 2 C 1 (31)
not- right-mindedness, is the result of level confusion in the sense	T 2 C 2 (31)
to miracles as the means of correcting level confusion, and all	T 2 C 2 (31)
Only the MIND is capable of error. The body can ACT	T 2 C 2 (31)
which is the ONLY level of creation, cannot create beyond itself	T 2 C 3 (31)
create beyond itself, neither type of confusion need occur. T	T 2 C 3 (31)
merely to facilitate the thinking of the learner. The most that	T 2 C 4 (31)
most that a faulty use of a learning device can do	T 2 C 4 (31)
properly understood, shares the invulnerability of the Atonement to two-edged application	T 2 C 5 (31)
in a particularly unworthy form of denial. The term unworthy here	T 2 C 5 (32)
one denies this unfortunate aspect of the minds power, one	T 2 C 5 (32)
bodily ills are merely restatements of magic principles. It was the	T 2 C 6 (32)
It was the first level of the error to believe that	T 2 C 6 (32)
follow, however, that the use of these very weak corrective devices	T 2 C 6 (32)
C 8 The value of the Atonement does not lie	T 2 C 8 (32)
this is the highest level of communication of which he is	T 2 C 8 (32)
the highest level of communication of which he is capable. It	T 2 C 8 (32)
it is the highest level of communication of which he is	T 2 C 8 (32)
the highest level of communication of which he is capable NOW	T 2 C 8 (32)
capable NOW. The whole aim of the miracle is to RAISE	T 2 C 8 (32)
is to RAISE the level of communication, not to impose regression	T 2 C 8 (32)
they fully understand the FEAR OF RELEASE. Otherwise, they may unwittingly	T 2 C 9 (33)
the body. This was because of the much greater fear that	T 2 C 9 (33)
really meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not really	T 2 C 9 (33)
protective device than ANY form of level confusion because it introduces	T 2 C 9 (33)
introduces correction at the level of the error. T 2	T 2 C 9 (33)
is NOT subject to errors of its own because it was	T 2 C 10 (33)
miscreations, is the only application of creative ability which is truly	T 2 C 10 (33)
mindless, or the miscreative use of the mind. Physical medications are	T 2 C 11 (33)
mind. Physical medications are forms of spells. Those who are AFRAID	T 2 C 11 (33)
to accept the real Source of the healing. Under these conditions	T 2 C 11 (33)
As long as their sense of vulnerability persists, they should be	T 2 C 11 (33)
the miracle is an expression of miracle-mindedness. Miracle-mindedness merely means right-mindedness	T 2 C 12 (33)
34) mind of the miracle worker OR the	T 2 C 12 (34)
need not await the right-mindedness of the receiver. In fact, its	T 2 C 12 (34)
turned it upside-down). All forms of not-right-mindedness are the result of	T 2 C 13 (34)
of not-right-mindedness are the result of refusal to accept the Atonement	T 2 C 13 (34)
14 The SOLE responsibility of the miracle worker is to	T 2 C 14 (34)
can undo the level confusion of others. The message he then	T 2 C 14 (34)
ONLY the mind is capable of illumination. The Soul is already	T 2 C 15 (34)
that density is the opposite of intelligence, and therefore unamenable to	T 2 C 15 (34)
always begins with the awakening of the Spiritual eye, and the	T 2 C 16 (35)
is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye will	T 2 C 16 (35)
error, and is capable only of looking beyond it to the	T 2 C 16 (35)
beyond it to the defense of Atonement. There is no doubt	T 2 C 16 (35)
is NOT the final outcome of Its perception. When the Spiritual	T 2 C 16 (35)
to look upon the defilement of the altar, it also looks	T 2 C 16 (35)
C 18 The fear of healing arises, in the end	T 2 C 18 (35)
completely unnecessary. Like all aspects of the space- Time belief, healing	T 2 C 18 (35)
and charity is a way of perceiving the perfection of another	T 2 C 18 (35)
way of perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot	T 2 C 18 (35)
2 C 19 Most of the loftier concepts of which	T 2 C 19 (35)
Most of the loftier concepts of which man is capable now	T 2 C 19 (35)
is really a weaker reflection of a much more powerful love-encompassment	T 2 C 19 (35)
is FAR beyond any form of charity that man can conceive	T 2 C 19 (35)
charity that man can conceive of as yet. Charity is essential	T 2 C 19 (35)
attained. Charity is a way of looking at another AS IF	T 2 C 19 (36)
The way in which both of these perceptions are stated clearly	T 2 C 20 (36)
The miracle, as an expression of true human charity, can only	T 2 C 20 (36)
he is shortening the suffering of BOTH. This introduces a correction	T 2 C 20 (36)
D. Fear as Lack of Love T	T 2 D 0 (37)
correction is therefore a matter of YOUR will, because its presence	T 2 D 1 (37)
mind level the proper content of lower-order reality. I do not	T 2 D 2 (37)
believe that controlling the OUTCOME of mis- Thought can result in	T 2 D 3 (37)
and this IS a matter of will. T 2 D	T 2 D 3 (37)
it cannot work. The correction of fear IS your responsibility. When	T 2 D 4 (37)
You are much too tolerant of mind wandering, thus passively condoning	T 2 D 4 (38)
Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises whenever the	T 2 D 5 (38)
to yourself because the part of the will that wants to	T 2 D 5 (38)
and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation	T 2 D 6 (38)
will. This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage	T 2 D 6 (38)
first to the second type of strain described above, but will	T 2 D 7 (38)
E. The Correction for Lack of Love T	T 2 E 0 (39)
that this is an expression of fear. Then say to yourself	T 2 E 1 (39)
nothing more than a series of pragmatic steps in the larger	T 2 E 1 (39)
steps in the larger process of accepting the Atonement as THE	T 2 E 1 (39)
2. Fear arises from lack of love. 3. The ONLY remedy	T 2 E 1 (39)
The ONLY remedy for lack of love is perfect love. 4	T 2 E 1 (39)
the miracle, or the EXPRESSION of Atonement is always a sign	T 2 E 2 (39)
Atonement is always a sign of real respect FROM the worthy	T 2 E 2 (39)
people appreciate the real power of the mind, and no one	T 2 E 3 (39)
no one remains fully aware of it all the time. However	T 2 E 3 (39)
ALWAYS as you will. Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this	T 2 E 3 (39)
clearly illustrate the prevailing LACK of awareness of thought-power. For example	T 2 E 4 (40)
the prevailing LACK of awareness of thought-power. For example, you say	T 2 E 4 (40)
no effect. You also speak of some actions as thoughtless, implying	T 2 E 4 (40)
some recognition to the power of thought, they still come nowhere	T 2 E 4 (40)
because they are literally AFRAID of them. Many psychotherapists attempt to	T 2 E 5 (40)
people who are afraid, say, of their death wishes by depreciating	T 2 E 5 (40)
wishes by depreciating the power of the wish. They even try	T 2 E 5 (40)
that he depreciates the power of his thought. This is the	T 2 E 6 (40)
guilt, but at the cost of rendering thinking impotent. If you	T 2 E 6 (40)
cease to be overly afraid of it, but you are hardly	T 2 E 6 (40)
The world is full of examples of how man has	T 2 E 7 (40)
world is full of examples of how man has depreciated himself	T 2 E 7 (40)
himself because he is afraid of his own thoughts. In some	T 2 E 7 (40)
own thoughts. In some forms of insanity thoughts are glorified, but	T 2 E 7 (40)
The reason people are afraid of ESP and so often react	T 2 E 7 (40)
tampering with a basic law of cause and effect, the most	T 2 E 8 (41)
if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. This would	T 2 E 8 (41)
direct opposition to the purpose of this course. It is much	T 2 E 8 (41)
except for a small part of the day, and somewhat inconsistently	T 2 E 8 (41)
miracle workers need that kind of training. I cannot let them	T 2 E 9 (41)
working entails a full realization of the power of thought, and	T 2 E 9 (41)
full realization of the power of thought, and real avoidance of	T 2 E 9 (41)
of thought, and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise a miracle will	T 2 E 9 (41)
fear. You have been afraid of God, of me, of yourselves	T 2 E 10 (41)
have been afraid of God, of me, of yourselves, and of	T 2 E 10 (41)
afraid of God, of me, of yourselves, and of practically everyone	T 2 E 10 (41)
of me, of yourselves, and of practically everyone you know at	T 2 E 10 (41)
if you were not afraid of your own thoughts. The vulnerable	T 2 E 10 (41)
to consider the whole world of the unconscious or unwatched mind	T 2 E 11 (41)
because it is the SOURCE of fear. The unwatched mind is	T 2 E 11 (41)
T(42) of the unconscious which lies ABOVE	T 2 E 11 (42)
in this connection, but none of them has seen it in	T 2 E 11 (42)
Son. This entails a set of Cause and Effect relationships which	T 2 E 12 (42)
inherent in the first. Because of this difference, the basic conflict	T 2 E 12 (42)
seems to render it out of his control by definition. Yet	T 2 E 13 (42)
basic conflict through the concept of MASTERY of fear is meaningless	T 2 E 13 (42)
through the concept of MASTERY of fear is meaningless. In fact	T 2 E 13 (42)
fact, it asserts the POWER of fear by the simple assumption	T 2 E 13 (42)
rests entirely on the mastery of LOVE. In the interim, the	T 2 E 13 (42)
In the interim, the SENSE of conflict is inevitable, since man	T 2 E 13 (42)
He believes in the power of what does not exist.	T 2 E 13 (42)
is merely a further misuse of defenses. The true corrective procedure	T 2 E 14 (42)
mandatory. This establishes a state of mind in which the Atonement	T 2 E 14 (43)
time itself involves a concept of intervals which do not really	T 2 E 15 (43)
really exist. The faulty use of creation made this necessary as	T 2 E 15 (43)
MUST be an integral part of the whole Sonship. You do	T 2 E 16 (43)
Oneness DOES transcend the sum of its parts. However, this is	T 2 E 16 (43)
obscured as long as any of its parts are missing. That	T 2 E 16 (43)
resolved until ALL the parts of the Sonship have returned. Only	T 2 E 16 (43)
Only then can the meaning of wholeness, in the true sense	T 2 E 16 (43)
E 17 Any part of the Sonship can believe in	T 2 E 17 (43)
is believing in the existence of nothingness. The correction of this	T 2 E 17 (43)
existence of nothingness. The correction of this error is the Atonement	T 2 E 17 (43)
As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is usually	T 2 E 17 (43)
a POTENTIAL for a shift of will. T 2 E	T 2 E 17 (43)
only to your readiness. Mastery of love involved a much more	T 2 E 18 (43)
confidence than either of you has attained. However, the	T 2 E 18 (44)
That is only the beginning of confidence. In case this be	T 2 E 18 (44)
imply that an enormous amount of time will be necessary between	T 2 E 18 (44)
2 E 19 One of the chief ways in which	T 2 E 19 (44)
creates is necessarily a matter of will. It also follows that	T 2 E 19 (44)
not necessarily in the Sight of God. This basic distinction leads	T 2 E 19 (44)
directly into the real meaning of the Last Judgment. F	T 2 E 19 (44)
Judgment. F. The Meaning of the Last Judgment	T 2 F 0 (44)
The Last Judgment is one of the greatest threat concepts in	T 2 F 1 (44)
is not an essential attribute of God. Man brought judgment into	T 2 F 1 (44)
judgment into being only because of the separation. After the separation	T 2 F 1 (44)
place for judgment as one of the many learning devices which	T 2 F 1 (44)
separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment will	T 2 F 1 (44)
depends, however, on the effectiveness of the present speed-up. T	T 2 F 1 (44)
time. If a sufficient number of people become truly miracle-minded quickly	T 2 F 2 (44)
Last Judgment is generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by	T 2 F 3 (44)
rather than a meting out of punishment, however much man may	T 2 F 3 (44)
opposition to right-mindedness. The aim of the Last Judgment is to	T 2 F 3 (45)
might be called a process of right evaluation. It simply means	T 2 F 4 (45)
MUST entail a sorting out of the false from the true	T 2 F 4 (45)
true. This is a process of division only in the constructive	T 2 F 4 (45)
and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse. Man will ultimately	T 2 F 4 (45)
on its own creations because of their great worthiness. The mind	T 2 F 5 (45)
onto God, but also because of the association of last with	T 2 F 5 (45)
also because of the association of last with death. This is	T 2 F 5 (45)
This is an outstanding example of upside-down perception. Actually, if the	T 2 F 5 (45)
perception. Actually, if the meaning of the Last Judgment is objectively	T 2 F 5 (45)
cannot BUT dictate. The purpose of time is solely to give	T 2 F 6 (45)
is his own perfect judgment of his own creations. When everything	T 2 F 6 (45)
study at some level. Some of the later parts of the	T 3 A 1 (46)
Some of the later parts of the course rest too heavily	T 3 A 1 (46)
occur to make constructive use of it. However, as you study	T 3 A 1 (46)
will begin to see some of their implications, which will be	T 3 A 1 (46)
foundation is necessary is because of the confusion between fear and	T 3 A 2 (46)
in connection with the Sons of God because you should not	T 3 A 2 (46)
experience awe in the presence of your equals. However, it was	T 3 A 2 (46)
proper reaction in the presence of your Creator. I have been	T 3 A 2 (46)
appropriate reaction to me because of our inherent equality. T	T 3 A 2 (46)
3 A 3 Some of the later steps in this	T 3 A 3 (46)
traumatic than beatific. Healing is of God in the end. The	T 3 A 3 (46)
time interval, the ordinary considerations of time and space do not	T 3 B 1 (47)
created is essential. ALL forms of correction (or healing) rest on	T 3 B 2 (47)
B 3 Another way of stating the above point is	T 3 B 3 (47)
wrong-mindedness. Responding to ANY form of miscreation with anything EXCEPT A	T 3 B 3 (47)
a miracle) is an expression of this confusion. T 3	T 3 B 3 (47)
miracle is always a DENIAL of this error and an affirmation	T 3 B 4 (47)
this error and an affirmation of the truth. Only right- mindedness	T 3 B 4 (47)
5 The level-adjustment power of the miracle induces the right	T 3 B 5 (47)
correction. It has NO element of judgment at all. Father forgive	T 3 B 6 (47)
no reference to the outcome of their misthought. THAT does not	T 3 B 6 (47)
The Biblical injunction Be of one mind is the statement	T 3 B 7 (47)
injunction Do this in remembrance of me is the request for	T 3 B 7 (47)
not in the same order of reality. The latter involves a	T 3 B 7 (47)
No one who is free of the scarcity-error could POSSIBLY make	T 3 C 1 (48)
seen from an upside-down point of view, it DOES appear as	T 3 C 1 (48)
permitted, and even encouraged, one of his Sons to suffer BECAUSE	T 3 C 1 (48)
unfortunate interpretation, which arose out of the combined misprojections of a	T 3 C 2 (48)
out of the combined misprojections of a large number of my	T 3 C 2 (48)
misprojections of a large number of my would-be followers, has led	T 3 C 2 (48)
people to be bitterly afraid of God. This particularly anti- religious	T 3 C 2 (48)
God Himself would be capable of the kind of thinking which	T 3 C 2 (48)
be capable of the kind of thinking which His own words	T 3 C 2 (48)
have clearly stated is unworthy of man? T 3 C	T 3 C 2 (48)
to turn a whole frame of reference around in order to	T 3 C 3 (48)
His own Son on behalf of salvation. The very words are	T 3 C 3 (48)
give this one up because of its prominent escape value. In	T 3 C 4 (48)
be very sure that NOTHING of this kind remains in your	T 3 C 4 (48)
is tainted with this kind of distortion in ANY form.	T 3 C 4 (48)
It is a real misperception of truth, by which man assigns	T 3 C 5 (49)
not hold the evil deeds of a man even against himself	T 3 C 5 (49)
arises from misprojection. This kind of error is responsible for a	T 3 C 6 (49)
is responsible for a host of related errors, including the belief	T 3 C 6 (49)
man, and forced him out of the Garden of Eden. It	T 3 C 6 (49)
him out of the Garden of Eden. It is also responsible	T 3 C 6 (49)
wisdom because it is unaware of evil, which does not exist	T 3 C 7 (49)
It is, however, PERFECTLY aware of EVERYTHING that is true.	T 3 C 7 (49)
Good can withstand ANY form of evil because light abolishes ALL	T 3 C 8 (49)
because light abolishes ALL forms of darkness. The Atonement is thus	T 3 C 8 (49)
the final demonstration that all of the other lessons which I	T 3 C 8 (49)
can prevail against a Son of God who commends his Spirit	T 3 C 9 (50)
his Spirit into the hands of his Father. By doing this	T 3 C 9 (50)
remembers its Creator. All sense of separation disappears, and level confusion	T 3 C 9 (50)
level confusion vanishes. The Son of God IS part of the	T 3 C 9 (50)
Son of God IS part of the Holy Trinity, but the	T 3 C 9 (50)
Its levels because they are of One Mind and One Will	T 3 C 9 (50)
integration and establishes the peace of God. Yet this Vision can	T 3 C 9 (50)
innocent defend true perception instead of defending themselves AGAINST it. Understanding	T 3 C 10 (50)
AGAINST it. Understanding the lesson of the Atonement, they are without	T 3 C 10 (50)
way is a clear-cut violation of Gods Own injunction that	T 3 C 11 (50)
and this results in rejection of what the teacher offers. The	T 3 C 11 (50)
referred to as The Lamb of God who taketh away the	T 3 C 12 (50)
who taketh away the sins of the world. Those who represent	T 3 C 12 (50)
do NOT understand the meaning of the symbol. Correctly understood, it	T 3 C 12 (50)
simple parable which merely speaks of my innocence. The lion and	T 3 C 12 (50)
see God is another way of saying the same thing.	T 3 C 12 (50)
human controversy about the nature of seeing in relation to the	T 3 C 13 (50)
relation to the integrative powers of the brain. Correctly understood, the	T 3 C 13 (50)
issue revolves around the question of whether the body or the	T 3 C 13 (51)
The body is not capable of understanding, and only the mind	T 3 C 13 (51)
14 Innocence is INCAPABLE of sacrificing anything, because the innocent	T 3 C 14 (51)
honor is the natural greeting of the truly loved to others	T 3 C 14 (51)
lamb taketh away the sins of the world only in the	T 3 C 14 (51)
the sense that the state of innocence, or grace, is one	T 3 C 14 (51)
one in which the meaning of the Atonement is perfectly apparent	T 3 C 14 (51)
is perfectly apparent. The innocence of God is the true state	T 3 C 14 (51)
God is the true state of mind of His Son. In	T 3 C 14 (51)
the true state of mind of His Son. In this state	T 3 C 14 (51)
true perfection belongs. The understanding of the innocent is TRUTH. That	T 3 C 14 (51)
this course are NOT matters of degree. Certain fundamental concepts CANNOT	T 3 D 1 (52)
be meaningfully understood in terms of coexisting polarities. It is impossible	T 3 D 1 (52)
It is impossible to conceive of light and darkness, or everything	T 3 D 1 (52)
is hardly a miracle-based frame of reference. It also has the	T 3 D 3 (52)
also has the disastrous effect of denying the creative power of	T 3 D 3 (52)
of denying the creative power of the miracle. T 3	T 3 D 3 (52)
not suffer from the distortions of the separated ones. The way	T 3 D 4 (52)
offer them your own validation of THEIR truth. This is the	T 3 D 5 (53)
temporary. It is an attribute of the space- Time belief, and	T 3 E 1 (54)
but KNOWING is the affirmation of truth. All your difficulties ultimately	T 3 E 2 (54)
The miracle is a way of perceiving, NOT of knowing. It	T 3 E 2 (54)
a way of perceiving, NOT of knowing. It is the right	T 3 E 2 (54)
Visions are the natural perception of the Spiritual eye, but they	T 3 E 5 (54)
It IS, however, a means of right perception, which brings it	T 3 E 5 (55)
it into the proper domain of the miracle. Properly speaking, a	T 3 E 5 (55)
miracle. Properly speaking, a vision of God is a miracle rather	T 3 E 5 (55)
the experience from the realm of knowledge. That is why visions	T 3 E 5 (55)
BE CERTAIN. Certainty is ALWAYS of God. When you love someone	T 3 E 6 (55)
are ACTING on the basis of knowledge, you are really confusing	T 3 E 6 (55)
related. Knowledge is the result of revelation, and induces only thought	T 3 E 6 (55)
stranger that you are afraid of him. PERCEIVE him correctly so	T 3 E 7 (55)
That is the real meaning of the Biblical description of God	T 3 E 8 (55)
meaning of the Biblical description of God as Alpha and Omega	T 3 E 8 (55)
now possesses are only shadows of his real strengths. All of	T 3 F 1 (57)
of his real strengths. All of his functions are equivocal and	T 3 F 1 (57)
them. He is therefore incapable of knowledge, being uncertain. He is	T 3 F 1 (57)
uncertain. He is also incapable of knowledge because he can perceive	T 3 F 1 (57)
conflict arises from the concept of levels. Only the Levels of	T 3 F 1 (57)
of levels. Only the Levels of the Trinity are capable of	T 3 F 1 (57)
of the Trinity are capable of Unity. The levels which man	T 3 F 1 (57)
different levels in his view of the psyche as forever irreconcilable	T 3 F 2 (57)
different principles. In OUR picture of the psyche, there is an	T 3 F 2 (57)
level which properly consists ONLY of the miracle ability, and which	T 3 F 2 (57)
which perceives or is aware of impulses from both the unconscious	T 3 F 2 (57)
Consciousness is thus the level of perception, but NOT of knowledge	T 3 F 2 (57)
level of perception, but NOT of knowledge. Again, to perceive is	T 3 F 2 (57)
correctly identified as the domain of the ego. The ego is	T 3 F 3 (57)
IS. This is an example of the created-creator confusion we have	T 3 F 3 (57)
created-creator confusion we have spoken of before. Yet man can only	T 3 F 3 (57)
all he can be SURE of. Everything else IS open to	T 3 F 3 (57)
for himself. It is capable of asking valid questions but NOT	T 3 F 4 (57)
asking valid questions but NOT of perceiving valid answers, because these	T 3 F 4 (57)
endless speculation about the meaning of mind has led to considerable	T 3 F 4 (57)
conflict because it is out of accord with itself. T	T 3 F 4 (58)
as interpersonal conflict. One part of the psyche perceives another part	T 3 F 5 (58)
recognition. This is the essence of the fear-prone condition, in which	T 3 F 5 (58)
which clearly demonstrates a lack of association with knowledge. The term	T 3 F 6 (58)
and applies to the state of mind which induces accurate perception	T 3 F 6 (58)
indeed a miracle in view of how man perceives himself.	T 3 F 6 (58)
Perception ALWAYS involves some misuse of will because it involves the	T 3 F 7 (58)
involves the mind in areas of uncertainty. The mind is very	T 3 F 7 (58)
and the only way OUT of ambiguity IS clear perception. The	T 3 F 7 (58)
The super-conscious is the level of the mind which wills this	T 3 F 7 (58)
impossible because it is part of the Soul, which God created	T 3 F 8 (58)
not need. The interpretive function of perception, actually a distorted form	T 3 F 9 (59)
perception, actually a distorted form of creation, then permitted man to	T 3 F 9 (59)
be reconciled with this loss of power because it is incapable	T 3 F 9 (59)
power because it is incapable of darkness. This is why it	T 3 F 9 (59)
is not an ACTIVE process of destruction at all. We have	T 3 F 10 (59)
merely his own vague recognition of the fact that it can	T 3 F 10 (59)
I demonstrated both the powerlessness of the body AND the power	T 3 F 11 (59)
the body AND the power of the mind. By uniting my	T 3 F 11 (59)
uniting my will with that of my Creator, I naturally remembered	T 3 F 11 (59)
This is the real meaning of the celestial speed-up. Strong wills	T 3 F 13 (59)
G. The Loss of Certainty T	T 3 G 0 (60)
man possesses are only shadows of his real strengths, and that	T 3 G 1 (60)
strengths, and that the intrusion of the ability to perceive, which	T 3 G 1 (60)
No one has been sure of anything since. You will also	T 3 G 1 (60)
was accomplished by the union of my will with the Father	T 3 G 1 (60)
something, you make it out of a sense of lack or	T 3 G 2 (60)
it out of a sense of lack or need. Anything that	T 3 G 2 (60)
DISAGREEING with Gods Idea of the Creation. Man can do	T 3 G 3 (60)
question which man continually asks of himself, but which cannot properly	T 3 G 3 (60)
related, and NOT a product of learning. Images are symbolic, and	T 3 G 4 (60)
image merely recognizes the power of perception, but it also implies	T 3 G 4 (60)
it refers to the PERCEPTION of meaning. Such wholly needless complexities	T 3 G 4 (61)
needless complexities are the result of mans attempt to regard	T 3 G 4 (61)
entirely inescapable impasse. This kind of thinking cannot result in a	T 3 G 5 (61)
mean that all this kind of thinking is a waste of	T 3 G 5 (61)
of thinking is a waste of time, but that you ARE	T 3 G 5 (61)
but that you ARE free of the need to engage in	T 3 G 5 (61)
Prayer is a way of asking for something. Prayer is	T 3 G 6 (61)
something. Prayer is the medium of miracles, but the only meaningful	T 3 G 6 (61)
In electing to perceive instead of to know, man placed himself	T 3 G 6 (61)
and likeness is taken as of a like quality. God DID	T 3 G 7 (61)
in His Own Thought, and of a quality like to His	T 3 G 7 (61)
involves selectivity, and is incapable of organization without it. In all	T 3 G 7 (61)
without it. In all types of perception there is a	T 3 G 7 (61)
continual process of accepting and rejecting, or organizing	T 3 G 7 (62)
rejecting, or organizing and reorganizing, of shifting and changing focus. Evaluation	T 3 G 7 (62)
Evaluation is an essential part of perception because judgments MUST be	T 3 G 7 (62)
can only be KNOWN. All of it is equally true, and	T 3 G 8 (62)
true, and knowing any part of it IS to know all	T 3 G 8 (62)
it IS to know all of it. Only perception involves partial	T 3 G 8 (62)
Forgiveness is the healing of the perception of separation. Correct	T 3 G 9 (62)
the healing of the perception of separation. Correct perception OF EACH	T 3 G 9 (62)
perception of separation. Correct perception OF EACH OTHER is necessary, because	T 3 G 9 (62)
That IS the miraculous power of the Soul. The fact that	T 3 G 9 (62)
prayer, is the natural state of those who know. God and	T 3 G 10 (62)
beautiful indeed are the Thoughts of God Who live in His	T 3 G 10 (62)
if you judge the reality of others at all, you will	T 3 H 1 (63)
to know was the cause of the loss of peace. Judgment	T 3 H 1 (63)
the cause of the loss of peace. Judgment is the process	T 3 H 1 (63)
discussed this before in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing	T 3 H 1 (63)
in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing out that evaluation	T 3 H 1 (63)
emphasizes only the positive aspects of what is judged, whether it	T 3 H 2 (63)
it be in or out of the self. However, what has	T 3 H 2 (63)
it HAS been perceived. One of the illusions from which man	T 3 H 2 (63)
be avoided in any type of judgment, because it implies the	T 3 H 2 (63)
You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep	T 3 H 3 (63)
you are under the coercion of judgment. You do not need	T 3 H 3 (63)
organize yourselves. In the presence of knowledge ALL judgment is automatically	T 3 H 3 (63)
Man is very fearful of everything he has perceived but	T 3 H 4 (64)
have judged yourself as capable of being tired. When you laugh	T 3 H 5 (64)
you cannot tolerate the idea of being more debased than they	T 3 H 5 (64)
debased than they are. All of this does make you feel	T 3 H 5 (64)
You are not REALLY capable of being tired, but you are	T 3 H 5 (64)
but you are VERY capable of wearying yourselves. The strain of	T 3 H 5 (64)
of wearying yourselves. The strain of constant judgment is virtually intolerable	T 3 H 5 (64)
wish to be the author of reality, which is totally impossible	T 3 H 6 (64)
its efficacy as a weapon of defense for your own authority	T 3 H 6 (64)
your own authority. The issue of authority is really a question	T 3 H 6 (64)
authority is really a question of authorship. When an individual has	T 3 H 6 (64)
believes he is the author of himself, projects his delusion onto	T 3 H 6 (64)
This is the fundamental error of all those who believe they	T 3 H 6 (64)
they have usurped the power of God. T 3 H	T 3 H 6 (64)
word authority has been one of their most fearful	T 3 H 7 (64)
great cruelty because, being uncertain of their true Authorship, men believe	T 3 H 7 (65)
such uncertainty in the minds of men that some have even	T 3 H 8 (65)
have NOT usurped the power of God, but you HAVE lost	T 3 H 9 (65)
Peace is a natural heritage of the Soul. Everyone is free	T 3 H 10 (65)
decide is the fundamental question of authorship. All fear comes ultimately	T 3 H 10 (65)
ultimately and sometimes by way of very devious routes, from the	T 3 H 10 (65)
devious routes, from the denial of Authorship. The offense is never	T 3 H 10 (65)
If this is the result of his own free will, he	T 3 H 11 (65)
imprisons, because it separates segments of reality according to the highly	T 3 H 11 (65)
to the highly unstable scales of desire. Wishes are not facts	T 3 H 11 (65)
as what is willed. Instead of Seek ye first the Kingdom	T 3 H 11 (66)
Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven say, WILL ye first	T 3 H 11 (66)
WILL ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and you have said	T 3 H 11 (66)
I 1 Every system of thought must have a starting	T 3 I 1 (67)
Both are cornerstones for systems of belief by which men live	T 3 I 1 (67)
NOTHING made by a child of God is without power. It	T 3 I 1 (67)
problem by depreciating the power of your minds. To do so	T 3 I 2 (67)
because you KNOW the strength of the mind. You also know	T 3 I 2 (67)
concept because he is thought of as extremely powerful and extremely	T 3 I 2 (67)
God, battling Him for possession of the Souls He created. He	T 3 I 2 (67)
by lies, and builds kingdoms of his own, in which everything	T 3 I 2 (67)
for gifts they RECOGNIZE are of no real worth. T	T 3 I 2 (67)
symbolic. It is an order of reality, or a system of	T 3 I 3 (67)
of reality, or a system of thought that is real enough	T 3 I 3 (67)
I 4 The fruit of only ONE tree was forbidden	T 3 I 4 (67)
forbidden was named the tree of knowledge. Yet God created knowledge	T 3 I 4 (68)
OR His creations as capable of destroying their own Purpose is	T 3 I 4 (68)
3 I 5 Eating of the fruit of the tree	T 3 I 5 (68)
Eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge is	T 3 I 5 (68)
the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a symbolic expression	T 3 I 5 (68)
and explained by a tendency of the self to create an	T 3 I 5 (68)
self to create an IMAGE of itself. Its fear aspect is	T 3 I 5 (68)
is often ascribed to fear of retaliation by a father figure	T 3 I 5 (68)
particularly curious idea in view of the fact that no one	T 3 I 5 (68)
It refers to an IMAGE of a father in relation to	T 3 I 5 (68)
in relation to an IMAGE of the self. T 3	T 3 I 5 (68)
still believe you are images of your own creation. Your minds	T 3 I 6 (68)
Fatherhood. Never underestimate the power of this denial. Look at your	T 3 I 7 (68)
surely dissolve in the light of truth, because its FOUNDATION is	T 3 I 7 (68)
Beginning, you feel the fear of the destruction of your thought	T 3 I 8 (69)
the fear of the destruction of your thought system upon you	T 3 I 8 (69)
if it were the fear of death. There IS no death	T 3 I 8 (69)
shine from the true Foundation of Life, and your own thought	T 3 I 9 (69)
can NOT. Only the Oneness of knowledge is conflictless. Your kingdom	T 3 I 9 (69)
conflictless. Your kingdom is not of this world because it was	T 3 I 9 (69)
this world is the idea of an authority problem meaningful. The	T 3 I 9 (69)

re-enacts the separation, the loss of power, the foolish journey of	T 4 A 3 (70)
of power, the foolish journey of the ego in an attempt	T 4 A 3 (70)

given up by an act of will. Do not make the	T 4 A 4 (70)

This is the OPPOSITE of the ego-oriented teachers goal	T 4 B 9 (73)
is concerned with the effect of HIS ego on OTHER egos	T 4 B 9 (73)

a delusion and no form of devotion is possible as long	T 4 B 10 (73)
exploit ALL situations into forms of praise for itself in order	T 4 B 11 (73)
it IS. YOU are part of reality, which stands unchanged beyond	T 4 B 11 (74)
stands unchanged beyond the reach of your ego, but within easy	T 4 B 11 (74)
ego, but within easy reach of your Soul. When you are	T 4 B 11 (74)
God is NOT the author of fear. YOU are. You have	T 4 B 12 (74)
chosen to be afraid INSTEAD of meeting it. When you awaken	T 4 B 12 (74)
YOU. The ego is afraid of the Souls joy because	T 4 B 13 (74)
God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls	T 4 B 13 (74)
a false and unworthy picture of yourself to others, and do	T 4 B 14 (74)
not accept such a picture of them yourselves. The ego has	T 4 B 14 (74)
a home that is worthy of His creations, who have chosen	T 4 B 14 (74)
you choose to enter it. Of this you can be wholly	T 4 B 14 (75)
certain. God is as incapable of creating the perishable as the	T 4 B 14 (75)
perishable as the ego is of making the eternal. T	T 4 B 14 (75)
T 4 B 15 Of your egos you can do	T 4 B 15 (75)

do everything for the salvation of both. Humility is a lesson	T 4 B 15 (75)

so we can be free of them together. I need devoted	T 4 B 17 (75)

Psychology rests on the principle of the continuity of behavior. Surprise	T 4 C 3 (76)
the principle of the continuity of behavior. Surprise is a reasonable	T 4 C 3 (76)
present state as an example of how the mind CAN work	T 4 C 3 (76)
they regard them as part of themselves. No one disowns something	T 4 C 4 (77)
as a very real part of himself. Man reacts to his	T 4 C 4 (77)
and great charity. The reaction of man to the self he	T 4 C 4 (77)
way is the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable	T 4 C 5 (77)
because it contains a hint of recognition that the ego is	T 4 C 5 (77)
babies. You have no sense of real self- preservation, and are	T 4 C 6 (77)
a real and lasting sense of abundance CAN be truly charitable	T 4 C 7 (77)
get is an inescapable law of the ego,	T 4 C 7 (77)
it. This is the meaning of Freuds reality principle, since	T 4 C 7 (78)
reality principle, since Freud thought of the ego as very weak	T 4 C 7 (78)
very weak and deprived, capable of functioning ONLY as a thing	T 4 C 7 (78)
8 The reality principle of the ego is not real	T 4 C 8 (78)
forced to perceive the reality of other egos because it cannot	T 4 C 8 (78)
it cannot establish the reality of ITSELF. In fact, its whole	T 4 C 8 (78)
In fact, its whole perception of other egos AS real is	T 4 C 8 (78)
condition in which the delusion of the egos reality is	T 4 C 8 (78)
The ego NEVER gives out of abundance, because it was made	T 4 C 9 (78)
That is why the concept of getting arose in the ego	T 4 C 9 (78)
itself. This is as true of bodily appetites as it is	T 4 C 9 (78)
bodily appetites as it is of the so-called higher ego needs	T 4 C 9 (78)
is possible is a decision of the ego, which is completely	T 4 C 9 (78)
which is merely another way of describing how it originated. This	T 4 C 10 (78)
in an equally feeble show of strength. It	T 4 C 10 (78)
however, to consider the validity of the premise itself because this	T 4 C 10 (79)
The ego IS the belief of the mind that it is	T 4 C 10 (79)
in its knowledge is unaware of the ego. It does not	T 4 C 11 (79)
it; it merely cannot conceive of it at all. While the	T 4 C 11 (79)
the ego is equally unaware of the Soul, it DOES perceive	T 4 C 11 (79)
be a delusion. The creations of God do not create myths	T 4 C 11 (79)
myths, although the creative efforts of man CAN turn to mythology	T 4 C 11 (79)
nature that the most benevolent of them is not without fearful	T 4 C 11 (79)
mythological system includes some account of the creation, and associates this	T 4 C 12 (79)
this with its particular perception of magic. The battle for survival	T 4 C 12 (79)
preserve itself and its interpretation of its own beginning. This beginning	T 4 C 12 (79)
which is not the One-Mindedness of the Soul, but which must	T 4 C 13 (79)
the basis for the continuity of behavior. However, this is a	T 4 C 14 (80)
However, this is a matter of reliability, and not validity. Reliable	T 4 C 14 (80)
ego has accorded the status of fact is questionable, because facts	T 4 C 15 (80)
facts are in the realm of knowledge. T 4 C	T 4 C 15 (80)
C 16 Confusing realms of discourse is a thinking error	T 4 C 16 (80)
theologians. Data from one realm of discourse do not mean anything	T 4 C 16 (80)
only WITHIN the thought system of which they are a part	T 4 C 16 (80)
are but another ingenious way of trying to impose order on	T 4 C 17 (81)
inventiveness. The highly specific nature of invention is not worthy of	T 4 C 17 (81)
of invention is not worthy of the abstract creativity of God	T 4 C 17 (81)
worthy of the abstract creativity of Gods creations.	T 4 C 17 (81)
never understood what the Kingdom of Heaven is within you means	T 4 D 1 (82)
within is unnecessary. The Kingdom of Heaven IS you. What else	T 4 D 1 (82)
This is the whole message of the Atonement, a message, which	T 4 D 1 (82)
its totality, transcends the sum of its parts. Christmas is not	T 4 D 1 (82)
time; it is a state of mind. The Christ Mind wills	T 4 D 1 (82)
set you on the road of perception. Your Souls creations	T 4 D 2 (82)
to use as a kind of a prayer in moments of	T 4 D 2 (82)
of a prayer in moments of temptation. It is a Declaration	T 4 D 2 (82)
temptation. It is a Declaration of Independence. You will find it	T 4 D 2 (82)
clearly point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The ego	T 4 D 3 (82)
own preservation in the face of threat, the ego perceives them	T 4 D 4 (82)
AS THE SAME. The threat-value of the lofty is	T 4 D 4 (82)
the ego because the pull of God Himself can hardly be	T 4 D 4 (83)
be equated with the pull of human appetites. By perceiving them	T 4 D 4 (83)
surely BE in the presence of knowledge. T 4 D	T 4 D 4 (83)
5 The upper level of the unconscious thus contains the	T 4 D 5 (83)
unconscious thus contains the Call of God as well as the	T 4 D 5 (83)
as well as the call of the body. That is why	T 4 D 5 (83)
to offer you some sort of reward for maintaining this belief	T 4 D 6 (83)
CAN offer is a sense of temporary existence, which begins with	T 4 D 6 (83)
its own. Against this sense of temporary existence the Soul offers	T 4 D 6 (83)
Soul offers you the knowledge of permanence and unshakable BEING. No	T 4 D 6 (83)
who has experienced the revelation of THIS can ever fully believe	T 4 D 6 (83)
prevail against the glorious gift of God? T 4 D	T 4 D 6 (83)
love YOU. Being made out of the denial of the Father	T 4 D 7 (83)
made out of the denial of the Father, the ego has	T 4 D 7 (83)
own maker. You cannot conceive of the real relationship which exists	T 4 D 7 (83)
God and His Souls because of the hatred you have for	T 4 D 7 (83)
project onto your OWN idea of yourself the will to separate	T 4 D 7 (83)
WITHOUT ambivalence, and this kind of wanting is wholly without the	T 4 D 8 (84)
get. There is a kind of experience which is so different	T 4 D 8 (84)
It is the glorious condition of what you ARE. T	T 4 D 8 (84)
name to keep you mindful of His Love for you and	T 4 D 9 (84)
OPPOSES knowledge. You retain thousands of little scraps of meanness which	T 4 D 10 (84)
retain thousands of little scraps of meanness which prevent the Holy	T 4 D 10 (84)
your minds for the scraps of meanness, or you will be	T 4 D 10 (84)
the ego, is the declaration of your release. GOD HAS GIVEN	T 4 D 12 (85)
meaningful only when the idea of getting, which implies a lack	T 4 D 12 (85)
before between HAVING the Kingdom of God and BEING the Kingdom	T 4 D 12 (85)
God and BEING the Kingdom of God. T 4 D	T 4 D 12 (85)
13 The calm being of Gods Kingdom, which in	T 4 D 13 (85)
ruthlessly banished from the part of the mind which the ego	T 4 D 13 (85)
this belief at the COST of truth? E. The Escape	T 4 D 13 (85)
you cannot hear the Voice of God, it is because you	T 4 E 1 (85)
DO listen to the voice of your ego is demonstrated by	T 4 E 1 (85)
to save the face of your egos, and you do	T 4 E 1 (86)
do not seek the Face of God. The glass in which	T 4 E 1 (86)
can it maintain the trick of its existence except with mirrors	T 4 E 1 (86)
in both the glorious creations of a glorious Father. T	T 4 E 3 (86)
arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you	T 4 E 4 (86)
a sense of being deprived of something you want and do	T 4 E 4 (86)
have. KNOW you are deprived of nothing except by your own	T 4 E 4 (86)
anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the ego, AND NEED NOT	T 4 E 5 (86)
has indeed violated the laws of God, but YOU have not	T 4 E 6 (86)
have not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That	T 4 E 6 (86)
your mind for the temptations of the ego, and do not	T 4 E 7 (87)
sufficiently vigilant AGAINST the demands of the ego to disengage yourself	T 4 E 7 (87)
E 8 The habit of engaging WITH God and His	T 4 E 8 (87)
The problem is NOT one of concentration; it is the belief	T 4 E 8 (87)
gladden yourselves, and how many of them you have refused? There	T 4 E 8 (87)
no limit to the power of a Son of God, but	T 4 E 8 (87)
the power of a Son of God, but he himself can	T 4 E 8 (87)
himself can limit the expression of his power as much as	T 4 E 8 (87)
away, and releasing the strength of God into everything you think	T 4 E 9 (87)
is the one RIGHT use of judgment. Judgment, like any other	T 4 E 9 (87)
10 You are mirrors of truth in which God Himself	T 4 E 10 (87)
11 The first coming of Christ is just another name	T 4 E 11 (88)
for Christ is the Son of God. The SECOND coming of	T 4 E 11 (88)
of God. The SECOND coming of Christ means nothing more than	T 4 E 11 (88)
nothing more than the end of the egos rule over	T 4 E 11 (88)
egos rule over part of the minds of men, and	T 4 E 11 (88)
over part of the minds of men, and the healing of	T 4 E 11 (88)
of men, and the healing of the mind. I was created	T 4 E 11 (88)
made. I am in charge of the Second Coming, and my	T 4 E 11 (88)
you this is a mistake of your egos. Do NOT mistake	T 4 E 11 (88)
life is an eternal attribute of everything that the living God	T 4 E 13 (88)
that there is an order of difficulty in miracles; YOU do	T 4 E 13 (88)
natural because they are expressions of love. My calling you is	T 4 E 13 (88)
the ego in the interest of its self-preservation. T 4	T 4 F 1 (89)
2 A major source of the egos off-balanced state	T 4 F 2 (89)
off-balanced state is its lack of discrimination between impulses from God	T 4 F 2 (89)
which judges only in terms of threat or non- Threat TO	T 4 F 2 (89)
sense the egos fear of the idea of God is	T 4 F 2 (89)
s fear of the idea of God is at least logical	T 4 F 2 (89)
DOES dispel the ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source	T 4 F 2 (89)
in ego- Terms. But fear of the body, with which the	T 4 F 2 (89)
argument that you CANNOT be of God. This is the belief	T 4 F 3 (89)
that it is really part of the body and that the	T 4 F 3 (89)
can NOT protect it. This, of course, is not only accurate	T 4 F 3 (89)
are trying to learn is of VALUE to them. However, values	T 4 F 5 (90)
F 6 Indeed, many of the things you want to	T 4 F 6 (90)
eternal because, as a product of the mind, it IS endowed	T 4 F 6 (90)
IS endowed with the power of its own creator. However, the	T 4 F 6 (90)
involve accurate perception, a state of clarity which the ego, fearful	T 4 F 6 (90)
clarity which the ego, fearful of being judged truly, MUST avoid	T 4 F 6 (90)
F 7 The results of this dilemma are peculiar, but	T 4 F 7 (90)
which is ALWAYS a form of ego involvement, is not a	T 4 F 7 (90)
involvement, is not a matter of reliability as much as of	T 4 F 7 (90)
of reliability as much as of validity. The ego compromises with	T 4 F 7 (90)
91) issue of the eternal, just as it	T 4 F 7 (91)
question AND KEEP IT OUT OF MIND. The egos characteristic	T 4 F 7 (91)
strange compromises with the idea of the eternal, making many odd	T 4 F 8 (91)
devote themselves to the possibility of perpetual MOTION, but NOT to	T 4 F 8 (91)
set up to be incapable of solution are also favorite ego	T 4 F 9 (91)
real learning progress. The problems of squaring the circle and carrying	T 4 F 9 (91)
is particularly noteworthy. The idea of preserving the BODY by suspension	T 4 F 9 (91)
thus giving it the kind of limited immortality which the ego	T 4 F 9 (91)
When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have made	T 4 F 10 (91)
that the ego is capable of making and accepting as real	T 4 F 11 (91)
The confusion of sex with aggression, and the	T 4 F 11 (92)
not produce surprise. The lack of surprise, however, is NOT a	T 4 F 11 (92)
however, is NOT a sign of understanding. It is a symptom	T 4 F 11 (92)
understanding. It is a symptom of the psychologists ability to	T 4 F 11 (92)
it to the mental illness of the patient, rather than his	T 4 F 11 (92)
Such relatively minor confusions of the ego are not among	T 4 F 12 (92)
TOWARD it. The whole value of right perception lies in the	T 4 G 1 (92)
NOT RECOGNIZE the real source of its perceived threat, and if	T 4 G 3 (93)
over you. We have spoken of the ego as if it	T 4 G 3 (93)
and must realize how much of your thinking is ego-directed. We	T 4 G 3 (93)
nothing more than a PART of your belief about yourselves. Your	T 4 G 4 (93)
attempts to dissociate. The ratio of repression and dissociation varies with	T 4 G 4 (93)
are throwing away the graciousness of your indebtedness, and the holy	T 4 G 4 (93)
more often to me INSTEAD of your egos for guidance. The	T 4 G 5 (93)
a temporary effect. The rewards of God, however, are immediately recognized	T 4 G 6 (94)
are preoccupied with the idea of escaping FROM the ego shows	T 4 G 6 (94)
my will is never out of accord with His. I have	T 4 G 8 (94)
that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. This is	T 4 G 8 (94)
each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all men	T 4 G 9 (95)
brothers, because they are all of your Father. Love does not	T 4 G 9 (95)
you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you	T 4 G 9 (95)
go against the true spirit of meditation; it is inherent in	T 4 G 10 (95)
to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be	T 4 G 10 (95)
That is because the function of love is one. T	T 4 G 10 (95)
you teach someone the value of something he hasnt deliberately	T 4 G 11 (95)
and to associate the opposite of misery with its presence. It	T 4 G 11 (95)
you really WANT the rewards of the ego in the presence	T 4 G 12 (95)
the ego in the presence of the rewards of God?	T 4 G 12 (95)
the presence of the rewards of God? H. Creation and	T 4 G 12 (95)
now that, while the content of any particular	T 4 H 1 (95)
it splits. However, only PART of it splits, so only PART	T 4 H 1 (96)
it splits, so only PART of it is concrete. The concrete	T 4 H 1 (96)
abolish it. The communication system of the ego is based on	T 4 H 2 (96)
individual egos perceive different kinds of threat, which are quite specific	T 4 H 2 (96)
For example, although all forms of perceived demands may be classified	T 4 H 2 (96)
must be disrupted, the response of breaking communication will nevertheless be	T 4 H 2 (96)
H 3 The specificity of the egos thinking, then	T 4 H 3 (96)
results in a spurious kind of generalization which is really not	T 4 H 3 (96)
direct communication with every aspect of creation because it is in	T 4 H 3 (96)
THIS communication IS the Will of God. Creation and communication are	T 4 H 4 (96)
a channel for the reception of His Mind and Will. Since	T 4 H 4 (96)
and Will. Since only beings of a like order can truly	T 4 H 4 (96)
to utilize it on behalf of being. T 4 H	T 4 H 4 (97)
you are limiting your sense of your OWN reality, which becomes	T 4 H 5 (97)
reality in the glorious context of its REAL relationship to you	T 4 H 5 (97)
in existence. In the state of being, the mind gives everything	T 4 H 6 (97)
Its experience of His Sons experience. The	T 4 H 7 (98)
experience. The constant GOING OUT of His Love is blocked when	T 4 H 7 (98)
Their helpfulness IS their praise of God, and He will return	T 4 H 9 (98)
He will return their praise of Him because they are like	T 4 H 9 (98)
all united in the joy of the Kingdom. I will direct	T 4 H 9 (98)
often misused as a way of exerting the egos domination	T 4 I 1 (99)
real experiment in the cooperation of minds. Rehabilitation as a movement	T 4 I 1 (99)
improvement over the overt neglect of those in need of help	T 4 I 1 (99)
neglect of those in need of help, but it is often	T 4 I 1 (99)
painful attempt on the part of the halt to lead the	T 4 I 1 (99)
ambivalence because it is afraid of its own weakness as well	T 4 I 2 (99)
as well as the weakness of its chosen home. When it	T 4 I 2 (99)
placing you under the strain of divided will. You may then	T 4 I 2 (99)
on by the ego because of its belief that nothing but	T 4 I 2 (99)
body is in great need of rehabilitation itself. ALL symptoms of	T 4 I 3 (99)
of rehabilitation itself. ALL symptoms of hurt need true helpfulness, and	T 4 I 3 (99)
ITSELF. Rehabilitation is an attitude of praising God as He Himself	T 4 I 3 (99)
to others. The chief handicaps of the clinicians lie in their	T 4 I 3 (99)
can do much on behalf of your own rehabilitation AND that	T 4 I 3 (99)
your own rehabilitation AND that of others if, in a situation	T 4 I 3 (99)
calling for healing, you think of it this way: I am	T 4 I 3 (99)
to you is the light of joy. Radiance is not associated	T 5 A 1 (100)
themselves call forth different kinds of responses at the same time	T 5 A 2 (100)
time, and thus deprive others of the joy of responding wholeheartedly	T 5 A 2 (100)
deprive others of the joy of responding wholeheartedly. To be wholehearted	T 5 A 2 (100)
possible whole state IS that of love. There is no difference	T 5 A 2 (100)
part or by what part of the Sonship the healing is	T 5 A 2 (100)
blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere	T 5 A 3 (100)
every beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere. You should	T 5 A 3 (100)
bless them in return, out of gratitude. You do not have	T 5 A 3 (100)
are worthy to be channels of His beautiful joy, because only	T 5 A 3 (100)
is impossible for a Child of God to love his neighbor	T 5 A 3 (100)
Healing is an act of thought by which two minds	T 5 B 1 (100)
gladness calls to every part of the Sonship to rejoice with	T 5 B 1 (100)
because revelation is an experience of pure joy. If you do	T 5 B 1 (101)
therefore honors only the laws of God. To Him, getting is	T 5 B 1 (101)
see that, while this kind of thinking is totally alien to	T 5 B 2 (101)
do NOT lessen it. ALL of it is still yours, although	T 5 B 2 (101)
is still yours, although all of it has been given away	T 5 B 2 (101)
that the world IS one of ideas, the whole belief in	T 5 B 2 (101)
Let us start our process of re-awakening with just a few	T 5 B 3 (101)
BLESSING. It is the blessing of miracle-mindedness. It asks that you	T 5 B 3 (101)
Spirit is the only part of the Holy Trinity which is	T 5 B 4 (101)
a man and as one of Gods creations, my right	T 5 B 4 (102)
come. We have spoken before of the higher, or the true	T 5 B 5 (102)
a protection, inspiring the beginning of the Atonement at the same	T 5 B 5 (102)
comfortless. C. The Mind of the Atonement	T 5 C 0 (102)
God honored even the miscreations of His Children because they had	T 5 C 1 (102)
blessed them with a way of thinking that could raise their	T 5 C 1 (102)
Holy Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. It represents a	T 5 C 1 (102)
Atonement. It represents a state of mind that comes close enough	T 5 C 1 (102)
to use the literal meaning of carried over, since the last	T 5 C 1 (102)
Holy Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a	T 5 C 2 (102)
the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements	T 5 C 2 (102)
like those in the Kingdom of Heaven itself. T 5	T 5 C 2 (102)
Second, it is incapable of attack, and is therefore truly	T 5 C 4 (103)
own integration into the paths of creation. T 5 C	T 5 C 5 (103)
it, to what the Children of God were before healing was	T 5 C 6 (103)
have BEEN healed. This alteration of the time sequence should be	T 5 C 6 (103)
just this fusion or union of will between Father and Son	T 5 C 7 (103)
Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Joy. He is the Call	T 5 C 7 (103)
which God blessed the minds of His separated Sons. This is	T 5 C 7 (103)
Sons. This is the vocation of the mind. The mind had	T 5 C 7 (103)
and that one is not of God. But the other is	T 5 C 8 (103)
are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy Spirit IS the	T 5 D 1 (104)
to Atonement, or the restoration of the integrity of the mind	T 5 D 1 (104)
the restoration of the integrity of the mind. When the Atonement	T 5 D 1 (104)
will remain with the Sons of God, to bless THEIR creations	T 5 D 1 (104)
keep them in the light of joy. T 5 D	T 5 D 1 (104)
You ARE the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let	T 5 D 2 (104)
must let banish the idea of darkness. His is the glory	T 5 D 2 (104)
falls away, and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into its	T 5 D 2 (104)
literal sense; YOU are part of HIM. When you chose to	T 5 D 3 (104)
to be in a state of opposition, in which opposites are	T 5 D 3 (104)
Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in	T 5 D 4 (104)
minds was NOT the voice of His Will, for which the	T 5 D 4 (105)
D 5 The Voice of the Holy Spirit does not	T 5 D 5 (105)
command because it is incapable of arrogance. It does not demand	T 5 D 5 (105)
It is compelling only because of what it reminds you OF	T 5 D 5 (105)
of what it reminds you OF. It brings to your mind	T 5 D 5 (105)
quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you have made	T 5 D 5 (105)
always quiet because it speaks of peace. Yet peace is stronger	T 5 D 5 (105)
voice, he has LOST SIGHT of his Soul. He CANNOT lose	T 5 D 6 (105)
choosing. He is the part of your mind which ALWAYS speaks	T 5 D 6 (105)
in YOU because the call of both is in your will	T 5 D 7 (105)
is made on the basis of which call is worth more	T 5 D 7 (105)
is therefore the ONE act of mind that resembles true creation	T 5 D 8 (106)
creation. You understand the role of models in the learning process	T 5 D 8 (106)
learning process, and the importance of the models you value and	T 5 D 8 (106)
way. You are the light of the world with me. Rest	T 5 D 9 (106)
because it IS the idea of weariness. Our task is the	T 5 D 9 (106)
task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call	T 5 D 9 (106)
Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the	T 5 D 9 (106)
there be for any part of the Kingdom than to restore	T 5 D 9 (106)
you had grown vaguely aware of the fact that there IS	T 5 D 11 (106)
Psychology has become the study of BEHAVIOR, but no one denies	T 5 D 11 (106)
D 12 The power of our joint motivation is beyond	T 5 D 12 (107)
call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for	T 5 D 12 (107)
the bridge, or thought- Transfer of perception to knowledge, so we	T 5 E 1 (108)
separation between the two ways of thinking would not be open	T 5 E 1 (108)
to healing. He is part of the Holy Trinity because His	T 5 E 1 (108)
Holy Spirit is the IDEA of healing. Being thought, the idea	T 5 E 2 (108)
it is also the idea OF God. Since YOU are part	T 5 E 2 (108)
God. Since YOU are part of God, it is also the	T 5 E 2 (108)
it is also the idea of YOURSELF, as well as of	T 5 E 2 (108)
of YOURSELF, as well as of all the parts of God	T 5 E 2 (108)
as of all the parts of God. The idea of the	T 5 E 2 (108)
parts of God. The idea of the Holy Spirit shares the	T 5 E 2 (108)
Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas because it follows	T 5 E 2 (108)
because it follows the laws of the Universe of which it	T 5 E 2 (108)
the laws of the Universe of which it is a part	T 5 E 2 (108)
not have to be aware of the Holy Spirit, either in	T 5 E 2 (108)
dissociation is healed in BOTH of you as YOU become aware	T 5 E 3 (108)
you as YOU become aware of the Call for God in	T 5 E 3 (108)
BEING. There are two ways of seeing your brother which are	T 5 E 3 (108)
E 4 The Voice of the Holy Spirit IS weak	T 5 E 4 (108)
you make the mistake of looking for the Holy Spirit	T 5 E 4 (109)
E 5 Delay is of the ego because time is	T 5 E 5 (109)
ANSWER to the ego. Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds	T 5 E 5 (109)
Holy Spirit has the task of UNDOING what the ego has	T 5 E 5 (109)
it in the same realm of discourse in which the ego	T 5 E 5 (109)
repeatedly emphasized that one level of the mind is not understandable	T 5 E 6 (109)
eternity. Eternity is an idea of God, so the Soul understands	T 5 E 6 (109)
perfectly. Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower	T 5 E 6 (109)
without question. The only aspect of time which is really eternal	T 5 E 6 (109)
only time. The literal nature of this statement does not mean	T 5 E 6 (109)
the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego and the knowledge	T 5 E 7 (109)
the ego and the knowledge of the Soul. His ability to	T 5 E 7 (109)
Him to understand the laws of God, for which He speaks	T 5 E 7 (109)
can thus perform the function of REINTERPRETING what the ego makes	T 5 E 7 (109)
It is therefore the task of the Holy Spirit to re-	T 5 E 7 (109)
re- interpret YOU on behalf of God. ---	T 5 E 7 (109)
Sonship, and the rightful place of the Sonship in God. This	T 5 E 8 (110)
eternity and YOURSELF. It is of this that the Holy Spirit	T 5 E 8 (110)
because, according to ITS interpretation of reality, war is the guarantee	T 5 E 8 (110)
reality, war is the guarantee of its survival. The ego becomes	T 5 E 8 (110)
react viciously because the idea of danger has entered your mind	T 5 E 8 (110)
the ego to the call of danger, opposing it with His	T 5 E 9 (110)
you accept are the foundations of your beliefs. The separation is	T 5 E 9 (110)
a THOUGHT. Therefore, the idea of separation can be given away	T 5 E 9 (110)
away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the	T 5 E 9 (110)
be strengthened IN THE MIND OF THE GIVER. T 5	T 5 E 9 (110)
The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy	T 5 E 10 (110)
Holy Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you perceive in	T 5 E 10 (110)
to his will because part of his will IS still for	T 5 E 10 (110)
because it is a place of peace and peace is of	T 5 E 11 (111)
of peace and peace is of God. You who are part	T 5 E 11 (111)
God. You who are part of God are not at home	T 5 E 11 (111)
the Holy Spirit, the REINTERPRETER of what the ego made, sees	T 5 E 11 (111)
made time, it is capable of perceiving its opposite. T	T 5 E 11 (111)
back to God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy	T 5 E 12 (111)
always, and He is part of YOU. He is your Guide	T 5 E 12 (111)
because He holds the remembrance of things past and to come	T 5 E 12 (111)
than perception for others because of what you saw in THEM	T 5 F 1 (112)
THEM, but LESS than knowledge of your real relationships TO them	T 5 F 1 (112)
not accept them as PART of you. Understanding IS beyond perception	T 5 F 1 (112)
that you are not aware of it. I have saved all	T 5 F 2 (112)
had. I have purified them of the errors which hid their	T 5 F 2 (112)
has hidden still is part of you. T 5 F	T 5 F 2 (112)
is always a way OUT of fear. This does not mean	T 5 F 3 (112)
because it is a part of you, just as you are	T 5 F 3 (112)
just as you are part of God because He created YOU	T 5 F 3 (112)
The Atonement is the GUARANTEE of the safety of the Kingdom	T 5 F 4 (112)
the GUARANTEE of the safety of the Kingdom. Nothing good is	T 5 F 4 (112)
willing to return the part of your mind that needs healing	T 5 F 4 (113)
guilt feelings are a device of the ego for atoning without	T 5 F 5 (113)
F 6 Your concept of healthy guilt feelings has merit	T 5 F 6 (113)
merit, but without the concept of the Atonement it lacks the	T 5 F 6 (113)
made the distinction in terms of feelings which led to a	T 5 F 6 (113)
error, which is only PART of healing. Your concept lacked the	T 5 F 6 (113)
Your concept lacked the idea of UNDOING it. What you were	T 5 F 6 (113)
then, was adopting a policy of sharing without a real FOUNDATION	T 5 F 6 (113)
You have carried the burden of the ideas you did not	T 5 F 6 (113)
remedy. The remedy is NOT of your making, any more than	T 5 F 7 (113)
except as a PURE ACT OF SHARING. That is what is	T 5 F 7 (113)
voice. If you are part of God and the Sonship is	T 5 F 7 (113)
thought held in ANY part of the Sonship belongs to every	T 5 F 7 (113)
Sharing is Gods way of creating, and also YOURS. Your	T 5 F 7 (113)
s Wholeness IS the wholeness of His Son. T 5	T 5 F 8 (114)
because it means the SHARING of ideas, and the awareness that	T 5 F 9 (114)
to STRENGTHEN them. The union of the Sonship IS its protection	T 5 F 9 (114)
is undone in the presence of the attraction of the parts	T 5 F 9 (114)
the presence of the attraction of the parts of the Sonship	T 5 F 9 (114)
the attraction of the parts of the Sonship which hear the	T 5 F 9 (114)
Sonship which hear the call of the Holy Spirit to be	T 5 F 9 (114)
my name is the name of Gods Son. What I	T 5 F 10 (114)
Holy Spirit atones in all of us by UNDOING, and thus	T 5 F 10 (114)
God if you forsake ANY of your brothers. You are more	T 5 F 11 (115)
really share ONLY the parts of your thoughts which are of	T 5 F 12 (115)
of your thoughts which are of Him, and which He also	T 5 F 12 (115)
also keeps for YOU. And of such is the Kingdom of	T 5 F 12 (115)
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. All the rest remains	T 5 F 12 (115)
re-interpreted them in the light of the Kingdom, making them, too	T 5 F 12 (115)
Kingdom, making them, too, worthy of being shared. When they have	T 5 F 12 (115)
Atonement gives you the power of a healed mind, but the	T 5 F 13 (115)
the power to create is of God. Therefore, those who have	T 5 F 13 (115)
because, having RECEIVED the idea of healing, they must GIVE it	T 5 F 13 (115)
HOLD it. The full power of creation cannot be expressed as	T 5 F 13 (115)
expressed as long as ANY of Gods ideas withhold it	T 5 F 13 (115)
the Kingdom. The joint will of ALL the Sonship is the	T 5 F 13 (115)
think completely, and the thinking of God lacks nothing. Everything you	T 5 F 13 (115)
ours. I place the peace of God in your heart and	T 5 F 14 (115)
as strong as the wisdom of God, in Whose Heart and	T 5 F 14 (116)
His blessed Sons. The Thoughts of God are with you.	T 5 F 14 (116)
G 1 Perhaps some of our concepts will become clearer	T 5 G 1 (117)
if the egos use of guilt is clarified. The ego	T 5 G 1 (117)
is as impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit because your	T 5 G 1 (117)
is truly blessed is incapable of giving rise to guilt, and	T 5 G 2 (117)
because it obeys the law of division. If the ego is	T 5 G 2 (117)
the ego is the symbol of the separation, it is also	T 5 G 2 (117)
it is also the symbol of guilt. Guilt is more than	T 5 G 2 (117)
is more than merely not of God. It is the symbol	T 5 G 2 (117)
God. It is the symbol of the ATTACK on God. This	T 5 G 2 (117)
do not underestimate the power of the egos belief in	T 5 G 2 (117)
The ego IS the part of the mind which believes in	T 5 G 3 (117)
in division. How can part of God detach itself WITHOUT believing	T 5 G 3 (117)
attacking Him? We spoke before of the authority problem as involving	T 5 G 3 (117)
problem as involving the concept of USURPING Gods power. The	T 5 G 3 (117)
However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to	T 5 G 4 (117)
You believe that a part of Him has been torn	T 5 G 4 (117)
by YOU. The classic picture of fear of retaliation FROM WITHOUT	T 5 G 4 (118)
The classic picture of fear of retaliation FROM WITHOUT then follows	T 5 G 4 (118)
then follows because the severity of the guilt is so acute	T 5 G 4 (118)
is, however, only your ACCEPTANCE of it that makes it real	T 5 G 5 (118)
God created it, IS capable of creating reality. We said before	T 5 G 5 (118)
perceive sin as a lack of love. It perceives sin as	T 5 G 6 (118)
sin as a POSITIVE ACT OF ASSAULT. This is an interpretation	T 5 G 6 (118)
The sane mind cannot conceive of illness because it cannot conceive	T 5 G 6 (118)
illness because it cannot conceive of attacking anyone or anything.	T 5 G 6 (118)
that illness is a form of magic. It might be better	T 5 G 7 (118)
that it is a form of magical solution. The ego believes	T 5 G 7 (118)
it will mitigate the punishment of God. Yet even in this	T 5 G 7 (118)
to usurp ALL the functions of God as it perceives them	T 5 G 7 (118)
ego cannot OPPOSE the laws of God any more than YOU	T 5 G 8 (118)
every second, and each moment of decision is a judgment which	T 5 G 8 (119)
you are wrong. The function of thought comes FROM God and	T 5 G 9 (119)
is IN God. As part of His Thought, you cannot think	T 5 G 9 (119)
irresponsibly. If the SOLE responsibility of the miracle worker is to	T 5 G 10 (119)
except by accepting the solution of UNDOING. You WOULD be responsible	T 5 G 11 (119)
be responsible for the effects of all your wrong thinking if	T 5 G 11 (119)
not be undone. The purpose of the Atonement is to save	T 5 G 11 (119)
reason to question the validity of symptom cure, but NO ONE	T 5 G 11 (119)
not emphasize the destructive results of this decision at that time	T 5 H 1 (120)
at that time. ANY decision of the mind will affect both	T 5 H 1 (120)
thought disorder, the proper ordering of thought becomes quite apparent.	T 5 H 1 (120)
YOU wait. All the Sons of God are waiting for your	T 5 H 2 (120)
Guilt feelings are the PRESERVERS of time. They induce fears of	T 5 H 3 (120)
of time. They induce fears of future retaliation or abandonment, and	T 5 H 3 (120)
gives it a false sense of security through the belief that	T 5 H 3 (120)
God offers you the continuity of eternity in exchange. When you	T 5 H 3 (120)
that you who are part of the Kingdom CANNOT be lost	T 5 H 4 (120)
Holy Spirit remind you always of His fairness,	T 5 H 4 (120)
voices speak for different interpretations of the same thing simultaneously, or	T 5 H 4 (121)
courts decisions about the laws of this world. The egos	T 5 H 5 (121)
thing to the ego because of its prejudiced judgment. Perceiving it	T 5 H 5 (121)
I will visit the sins of the father unto the third	T 5 H 6 (121)
cultivate in yourself. Your judgment of what is worthy MAKES it	T 5 H 7 (121)
your mind, which is part of God. T 5 H	T 5 H 7 (121)
I will visit the sins of the fathers unto the third	T 5 H 8 (121)
perish is merely a statement of fact, if the word perish	T 5 H 8 (122)
destroyed because it is part of your thought, but because it	T 5 H 9 (122)
you from fear. The part of your thought which you have	T 5 H 9 (122)
The ego is a form of arrest, but arrest is merely	T 5 H 9 (122)
does NOT involve the concept of punishment, although the ego welcomes	T 5 H 9 (122)
You CAN delay the completion of the Kingdom, but you CANNOT	T 5 H 9 (122)
you CANNOT introduce the concept of assault into it. T	T 5 H 9 (122)
no case against a Child of God, and every witness to	T 5 H 10 (122)
GIVEN you to remind you of what you are. T	T 5 H 11 (122)
yourselves. Is not a Child of God WORTH patience? I have	T 5 H 12 (122)
my will IS that of our Father, from Whom I	T 5 H 12 (123)
Father, from Whom I learned of infinite patience. His Voice was	T 5 H 12 (123)
the Sonship in the Name of its Creator. What you need	T 5 H 12 (123)
is meaningless. He reminds you of this in every passing moment	T 5 H 13 (123)
this in every passing moment of time because it is His	T 5 H 13 (123)
I 1 The idea of set is among the better	T 5 I 1 (124)
ARE fixed in the peace of God. The concept of fixation	T 5 I 1 (124)
peace of God. The concept of fixation is also a very	T 5 I 1 (124)
2 Freuds system of thought was extremely ingenious because	T 5 I 2 (124)
its power. Freud lost much of the potential value of his	T 5 I 2 (124)
much of the potential value of his thought system because he	T 5 I 2 (124)
Fixation is the pull of God, on Whom your mind	T 5 I 3 (124)
your mind IS fixed because of the Holy Spirits irrevocable	T 5 I 3 (124)
or redirected. The irrevocable nature of the Holy Spirits set	T 5 I 3 (124)
NEVER changes His mind. Clarity of thought CANNOT occur under conditions	T 5 I 3 (124)
thought CANNOT occur under conditions of vacillation. Unless a mind is	T 5 I 3 (124)
Clarity literally means the state of light, and enlightenment IS understanding	T 5 I 3 (124)
it as the REAL foundation of thought. This is the basis	T 5 I 3 (124)
I 4 The concept of fixation, as Freud saw it	T 5 I 4 (124)
saw it, has a number of learning advantages. First, it recognizes	T 5 I 4 (124)
and merely saw the continuity of past and future. T	T 5 I 4 (125)
him, or better, reminded him of, he was too honest to	T 5 I 5 (125)
his thought system, the threat of fixation remained, and could never	T 5 I 6 (125)
Essentially, this was the basis of Freuds pessimism, personally as	T 5 I 6 (125)
to set up a form of therapy which could enable the	T 5 I 6 (125)
unable to relinquish the HOPE of release even though he could	T 5 I 7 (125)
The reason for this amount of detail is because YOU are	T 5 I 7 (125)
your creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong	T 5 I 7 (125)
all hope is yours BECAUSE of His care. You CANNOT choose	T 5 I 8 (126)
and use the infinite power OF His care for all those	T 5 I 8 (126)
faith was not whole. Some of them have healed the sick	T 5 I 9 (126)
that there is no order of difficulty in miracles. He has	T 5 I 9 (126)
God created is equally worthy of being healed BECAUSE GOD CREATED	T 5 I 9 (126)
IS wholeness, and the sanity of your brothers IS yours.	T 5 I 9 (126)
when you KNOW the Voice of God Himself is in you	T 5 I 10 (126)
perfect peace because you are of one mind and Spirit with	T 5 I 10 (126)
the egos last-ditch defense of its OWN existence. It reflects	T 5 I 10 (126)
to work out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I	T 5 I 11 (126)
before, the remedy is NOT of your making. God Himself gave	T 5 I 11 (126)
and have also told you of your part in His plan	T 5 I 11 (126)
God weeps at the sacrifice of His Children who believe they	T 5 I 11 (127)
have reacted with a lack of love to some Soul which	T 5 I 12 (127)
and keep yourselves fully aware of the fact that the undoing	T 5 I 13 (127)
will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision IF I	T 5 I 13 (127)
A 1 The relationship of anger to attack is obvious	T 6 A 1 (128)
obvious, but the inevitable association of anger and FEAR is not	T 6 A 1 (128)
clear. Anger ALWAYS involves PROJECTION OF SEPARATION, which must ultimately be	T 6 A 1 (128)
that a brother is WORTHY of attack rather than of love	T 6 A 1 (128)
WORTHY of attack rather than of love follows. What can be	T 6 A 1 (128)
is to consider the sanity of the premises on which it	T 6 A 2 (128)
has developed a thought system of any kind, he lives by	T 6 A 2 (128)
you have been extreme examples of allegiance to your thought systems	T 6 A 3 (128)
but it IS a form of faith, which you yourselves have	T 6 A 3 (128)
You cannot doubt the strength of your devotion, when you consider	T 6 A 3 (128)
it. B. The Message of the Crucifixion	T 6 B 0 (128)
dwelt on it before, because of its fearful connotations. The only	T 6 B 1 (128)
it was NOT a form of punishment. Nothing, however, can be	T 6 B 1 (128)
There is a positive interpretation of the crucifixion which is wholly	T 6 B 1 (128)
crucifixion which is wholly devoid of fear, and therefore wholly benign	T 6 B 1 (128)
Its value, like the value of --- Manuscript	T 6 B 1 (128)
lies solely in the kind of learning it facilitates. It can	T 6 B 1 (129)
the resurrection before, the purpose of the crucifixion and how it	T 6 B 2 (129)
This is a marked tendency of the separated ones, who always	T 6 B 3 (129)
promotes fear. The real meaning of the crucifixion lies in the	T 6 B 3 (129)
lies in the APPARENT intensity of the assault of some of	T 6 B 3 (129)
APPARENT intensity of the assault of some of the Sons of	T 6 B 3 (129)
of the assault of some of the Sons of God upon	T 6 B 3 (129)
of some of the Sons of God upon another. This, of	T 6 B 3 (129)
of God upon another. This, of course, is impossible, and must	T 6 B 3 (129)
necessary to perceive ANY form of assault in persecution because you	T 6 B 4 (129)
therefore offered a DIFFERENT interpretation of attack, and one which I	T 6 B 5 (130)
a lesson which the Sons of God should WANT to teach	T 6 B 6 (130)
BE crucified, which was part of my own teaching contribution. You	T 6 B 6 (130)
my example in the face of much LESS extreme temptations to	T 6 B 6 (130)
the dawning on your minds of what is already in them	T 6 B 7 (130)
our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but	T 6 B 7 (130)
the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that	T 6 B 7 (130)
being at all in need of bodily protection. I AM sorry	T 6 B 8 (130)
you can BE the foundation of Gods church. A church	T 6 B 9 (131)
altar is, and the presence of the altar is what MAKES	T 6 B 9 (131)
that this was only because of the projection of others, because	T 6 B 10 (131)
only because of the projection of others, because I had not	T 6 B 10 (131)
no perception which is out of accord with the judgment of	T 6 B 12 (131)
of accord with the judgment of the Holy Spirit CAN be	T 6 B 12 (131)
will, with God, that none of His Sons should suffer.	T 6 B 12 (132)
other, you will have learned of me, and will be as	T 6 B 13 (132)
because it is the symbol of projection, but the resurrection is	T 6 B 13 (132)
the resurrection is the symbol of SHARING because the re-awakening of	T 6 B 13 (132)
of SHARING because the re-awakening of every Son of God is	T 6 B 13 (132)
the re-awakening of every Son of God is necessary to enable	T 6 B 13 (132)
B 14 The message of the crucifixion is perfectly clear	T 6 B 14 (132)
vulnerable to projection, and out of their own fear they spoke	T 6 B 14 (132)
their own fear they spoke of the wrath of God as	T 6 B 14 (132)
they spoke of the wrath of God as His retaliatory weapon	T 6 B 14 (132)
weapon. Nor could they speak of the crucifixion entirely without anger	T 6 B 14 (132)
anger because their own sense of guilt had MADE them angry	T 6 B 14 (132)
There are two glaring examples of upside-down thinking in the New	T 6 B 15 (132)
gospel is ONLY the message of love. These are not like	T 6 B 15 (132)
is clearly the exact opposite of everything I taught. T	T 6 B 15 (132)
said, Betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss? unless	T 6 B 16 (132)
in betrayal. The whole message of the crucifixion was simply that	T 6 B 16 (132)
my brother and a Son of God, as much a part	T 6 B 16 (133)
God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself. Was	T 6 B 16 (133)
their teaching and fully aware of the extent of their devotion	T 6 B 17 (133)
fully aware of the extent of their devotion to me. Nevertheless	T 6 B 17 (133)
for sins, and the Sons of God are not sinners.	T 6 B 17 (133)
B 18 ANY concept of punishment involves the projection of	T 6 B 18 (133)
of punishment involves the projection of blame, and REINFORCES the idea	T 6 B 18 (133)
The crucifixion was a complex of behaviors arising out of clearly	T 6 B 18 (133)
complex of behaviors arising out of clearly opposed thought systems. As	T 6 B 18 (133)
it was the perfect symbol of conflict between the ego and	T 6 B 18 (133)
the ego and the Son of God. The conflict is just	T 6 B 18 (133)
IMPOSSIBLE. Whenever you are afraid of what you are you do	T 6 B 19 (133)
will TEACH REJECTION. The power of the Sons of God is	T 6 B 19 (133)
The power of the Sons of God is operating all the	T 6 B 19 (133)
to teach that all forms of rejection are utterly meaningless. The	T 6 B 19 (133)
The separation IS the notion of rejection. As long as you	T 6 B 19 (133)
C. The Uses of Projection T	T 6 C 0 (134)
will MUST involve a rejection of part of it, and this	T 6 C 1 (134)
involve a rejection of part of it, and this IS the	T 6 C 1 (134)
belief in separation. The wholeness of God, which IS His peace	T 6 C 1 (134)
mind, which recognizes the wholeness of Gods creation, and BY	T 6 C 1 (134)
In the egos use of projection, to which we are	T 6 C 2 (134)
have attacked yourself FIRST out of awareness, and thus imagine that	T 6 C 2 (134)
It is SOLELY a device of the ego to make you	T 6 C 3 (134)
projection is ALWAYS a means of justifying attack. Anger without projection	T 6 C 3 (134)
to distort your perception both of yourself AND your brothers. The	T 6 C 4 (134)
that there is another use of projection. Every ability of the	T 6 C 4 (134)
use of projection. Every ability of the ego has a better	T 6 C 4 (134)
strengthening it in both. Instead of anger this arouses love for	T 6 C 5 (135)
God created you as part of Him. That is both WHERE	T 6 C 6 (135)
7 The perfect equality of the Holy Spirits perception	T 6 C 7 (135)
s perception is the counterpart of the perfect equality of God	T 6 C 7 (135)
counterpart of the perfect equality of Gods knowing. The ego	T 6 C 7 (135)
136) extensions of His Thought in His Mind	T 6 C 8 (136)
alone. Prayer is the re-statement of INCLUSION, directed by the Holy	T 6 C 8 (136)
Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to	T 6 C 8 (136)
His Kingdom until you know of its wholeness. T 6	T 6 C 8 (136)
Thoughts begin in the mind of the thinker, from which they	T 6 C 9 (136)
outward. This is as true of Gods Thinking as it	T 6 C 9 (136)
s Thinking as it is of yours. Because your minds are	T 6 C 9 (136)
escape from the basic laws of mind. You perceive FROM your	T 6 C 9 (136)
your perceptions outward. Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, YOU	T 6 C 9 (136)
PARALLEL to Gods way of thinking, and thus guarantee their	T 6 C 9 (136)
BE returned. The full awareness of the Atonement, then, is the	T 6 C 10 (136)
YOU cannot make the idea of --- Manuscript	T 6 C 11 (136)
Gods creations, bringing all of your perceptions into the one	T 6 C 12 (137)
line is the direct line of communication with God, and lets	T 6 C 12 (137)
between the egos use of projection and projection as the	T 6 C 13 (137)
what He IS. The peace of God lies in that message	T 6 C 13 (137)
message, and so the peace of God lies in YOU.	T 6 C 13 (137)
14 The great peace of the Kingdom shines in your	T 6 C 14 (137)
OUTWARD to make YOU aware of it. The Holy Spirit was	T 6 C 14 (137)
in alignment with the Light of the world. Each of us	T 6 C 14 (137)
Light of the world. Each of us IS the Light of	T 6 C 14 (137)
of us IS the Light of the world, and by joining	T 6 C 14 (137)
Light, we proclaim the Kingdom of God together and AS ONE	T 6 C 14 (137)
D. The Relinquishment of Attack T	T 6 D 0 (138)
idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends outward	T 6 D 1 (138)
at all to the communication of God. Thus, being is never	T 6 D 2 (138)
and never will be part of it, but THROUGH the ego	T 6 D 2 (138)
said before that the message of the crucifixion was, Teach only	T 6 D 3 (138)
to PROTECT ITSELF. The protection of God then dawns upon it	T 6 D 4 (138)
Safety is THE COMPLETE RELINQUISHMENT OF ATTACK. No compromise is possible	T 6 D 5 (139)
in teaching the exact OPPOSITE of everything the ego believes. This	T 6 D 5 (139)
so as others learn it of YOU. The only way to	T 6 D 5 (139)
projection, it becomes a part of what you KNOW because you	T 6 D 5 (139)
in you through the conviction of teaching. Remember that if teaching	T 6 D 6 (139)
not regard itself as PART of you. Herein lies its primary	T 6 E 1 (140)
primary perceptual error, the foundation of its whole thought system.	T 6 E 1 (140)
you, He made you part of Him. That is why attack	T 6 E 2 (140)
thus speaking for the part of your mind that believes YOU	T 6 E 2 (140)
separate and outside the Mind of God. The ego, then, raised	T 6 E 2 (140)
you? - was the beginning of doubt. T 6 E	T 6 E 2 (140)
many. The most inventive activities of the ego have never done	T 6 E 3 (140)
and THE EGO IS AFRAID OF YOU. You cannot understand the	T 6 E 3 (140)
it DOES believe that part of the same mind that made	T 6 E 4 (140)
ego feels badly in need of allies, though NOT of brothers	T 6 E 4 (140)
need of allies, though NOT of brothers. ---	T 6 E 4 (140)
the body is NOT part of you. This makes the body	T 6 E 4 (141)
are siding with an alliance of fear. T 6 E	T 6 E 4 (141)
knowing they are NOT part of him, they join in the	T 6 E 5 (141)
is perhaps the strangest perception of all, if you consider what	T 6 E 5 (141)
Hear, then, the ONE answer of the Holy Spirit to ALL	T 6 E 6 (141)
raises. You are a Child of God, a priceless part of	T 6 E 6 (141)
of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created	T 6 E 6 (141)
which He created as part of Him. Nothing else exists and	T 6 E 6 (141)
There will be nothing left of your dream when you hear	T 6 E 6 (141)
Your dreams have contained many of the egos symbols, and	T 6 E 6 (141)
ABILITY for certainty. The introduction of abilities into being was the	T 6 E 8 (142)
into being was the beginning of UNcertainty because abilities are potentials	T 6 E 8 (142)
totally useless in the presence of Gods accomplishments, and also	T 6 E 8 (142)
Gods accomplishments, and also of yours. Accomplishments are results which	T 6 E 8 (142)
them. This is not true of anything that God created, but	T 6 E 9 (142)
they can GET YOU OUT OF IT. You have a Guide	T 6 E 9 (142)
This leaves YOU in charge of the Kingdom, with both a	T 6 E 9 (142)
bring THEMSELVES to the awareness of their perfection, and thus side	T 6 E 10 (142)
helpless. This is the kind of reasoning which the ego engages	T 6 E 10 (142)
to premises is a law of mind, and everything God created	T 6 E 11 (142)
separation was not a loss of perfection, but a failure in	T 6 E 12 (143)
A harsh and strident form of communication arose as the ego	T 6 E 12 (143)
could not shatter the peace of God, but it COULD shatter	T 6 E 12 (143)
they need not be afraid of dreams. Then, when bad dreams	T 6 F 2 (143)
joy. This is true even of the worlds teachers. Consider	T 6 F 3 (144)
will not be afraid. All of this could be included in	T 6 F 3 (144)
through life, and life is of the mind and IN the	T 6 F 5 (144)
is destructible, and therefore not of the Kingdom. The body is	T 6 F 6 (144)
The body is the symbol of what you THINK you are	T 6 F 6 (144)
and therefore CANNOT be part of you. To be of one	T 6 F 7 (145)
part of you. To be of one mind IS meaningful, but	T 6 F 7 (145)
IS meaningful, but to be of one BODY is meaningless. By	T 6 F 7 (145)
is meaningless. By the laws of mind, then, the BODY is	T 6 F 7 (145)
Spirit THERE IS NO ORDER OF DIFFICULTY IN MIRACLES. This is	T 6 F 7 (145)
much to accomplish on behalf of the Kingdom to let this	T 6 F 8 (145)
is a real foundation stone of the thought system I teach	T 6 F 8 (145)
offered to the equal Sons of God, and that is FULL	T 6 F 8 (145)
Without a range, an order of difficulty IS meaningless, and there	T 6 F 8 (145)
and for pride. The insanity of this perception makes it a	T 6 F 9 (145)
body ONLY as a means of COMMUNICATION, and because communicating is	T 6 F 9 (145)
you place YOURSELF in charge of the journey, where you and	T 6 F 10 (146)
ones have a basic fear of retaliation and abandonment. This is	T 6 G 1 (147)
concepts are clearly the result of their own dissociation and projection	T 6 G 1 (147)
YOU ARE. If the center of the thought system is true	T 6 G 2 (147)
in motivation IS a change of mind, and this will inevitably	T 6 G 3 (147)
process, then, is the undoing of the GETTING concept. Accordingly, the	T 6 G 3 (147)
At this point, the equality of having and being is not	T 6 G 4 (147)
appears to be the OPPOSITE of being. Therefore, the first lesson	T 6 G 4 (147)
as yet. Further, the mind of the learner projects its own	T 6 G 4 (147)
in others, making him suspicious of THEIR motivation. This is the	T 6 G 4 (147)
148) aware of the ego in himself, and	T 6 G 4 (148)
than is any other product of thought. The fundamental change will	T 6 G 5 (148)
still occur with the change of mind IN THE THINKER. Meanwhile	T 6 G 5 (148)
THINKER. Meanwhile, the increasing clarity of the Holy Spirits Voice	T 6 G 5 (148)
6 The way OUT of conflict between two opposing thought	T 6 G 6 (148)
are in COMPLETE disagreement, peace of mind IS impossible. If you	T 6 G 6 (148)
to realize the quiet power of the Holy Spirits Voice	T 6 G 7 (148)
step is a positive affirmation of WHAT YOU WANT. This, then	T 6 G 8 (149)
step in the direction OUT of conflict, since it means that	T 6 G 8 (149)
this point, that the lack of order of difficulty in miracles	T 6 G 9 (149)
that the lack of order of difficulty in miracles has not	T 6 G 9 (149)
be pushing toward the center of your thought system, where the	T 6 G 10 (149)
accepted THAT is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the	T 6 G 10 (149)
your mind in the light of what God PUT there. Whatever	T 6 H 1 (150)
purifies. But what is OUT OF ACCORD entirely He rejects by	T 6 H 1 (150)
your mind to be critical of other minds because He does	T 6 H 3 (150)
to AVOID. In the mind of the THINKER, then, He IS	T 6 H 3 (150)
which was essentially the identification of what is MORE desirable. THIS	T 6 H 4 (151)
not concern itself with order of difficulty, but with CLEAR-CUT PRIORITY	T 6 H 5 (151)
YOU READY for the translation of having into being by the	T 6 H 7 (151)
being by the very nature of the steps	T 6 H 7 (151)
since it is the condition OF the Kingdom. You have believed	T 6 H 8 (152)
third step is thus one of PROTECTION for your minds, allowing	T 6 H 9 (152)
IS extension, is a measure of learning because it is its	T 6 H 10 (152)
enter, you will LOSE awareness of its wholeness AND WILL BE	T 6 H 10 (152)
H 11 The wholeness of the Kingdom does NOT depend	T 6 H 11 (152)
your perception, but your AWARENESS of its wholeness DOES. It is	T 6 H 11 (152)
assailed. Yet a real sense of being CANNOT be yours while	T 6 H 11 (152)
yours while you are doubtful of what you ARE. THIS IS	T 6 H 11 (152)
are with certainty. Certainty is OF God for YOU. Vigilance is	T 6 H 11 (153)
not keep ONLY the Kingdom of God in your minds, and	T 6 H 12 (153)
minds, and thus placed part of your mind OUTSIDE it. What	T 6 H 12 (153)
like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of	T 6 H 12 (153)
of me as much as of you, but remember that those	T 6 H 12 (153)
step, then, is a statement of what you WANT to believe	T 6 H 13 (153)
is in the perfect safety of God. Therefore inclusion is total	T 6 H 13 (153)
Chapter 7 - THE CONSISTENCY OF THE KINGDOM A. Introduction	T 7 0 0 (154)
1 The creative power of both God and His creations	T 7 A 1 (154)
to add to the CREATOR of the Kingdom. You claim this	T 7 A 2 (154)
in God. You are part of God, as your sons are	T 7 A 3 (154)
as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is	T 7 A 3 (154)
Eternity is the indelible stamp of creation. The eternal are in	T 7 B 2 (155)
is to share His CERTAINTY of what you are, and to	T 7 B 3 (155)
be complete because the Kingdom of God is whole. We have	T 7 B 3 (155)
last step in the re-awakening of knowledge is taken by God	T 7 B 3 (155)
Holy Spirit has the task of translating the useLESS into the	T 7 B 3 (155)
heal is the only kind of thinking in this world that	T 7 B 6 (156)
world that resembles the Thought of God, and because of the	T 7 B 6 (156)
Thought of God, and because of the elements which they share	T 7 B 6 (156)
Kingdom itself obscure to BOTH of you. Sickness and separation are	T 7 B 6 (156)
Sickness and separation are not of God, but the Kingdom is	T 7 B 6 (156)
are perceiving what is NOT OF GOD. C. The Laws	T 7 B 6 (156)
GOD. C. The Laws of Mind T	T 7 C 0 (156)
This is an immutable law of the mind in this world	T 7 C 1 (156)
2 The outstanding characteristic of the laws of mind as	T 7 C 2 (156)
outstanding characteristic of the laws of mind as they operate in	T 7 C 2 (156)
have adapted to the circumstances of this world, in which diametrically	T 7 C 2 (156)
ARE believed in. The laws of mind govern thoughts, and you	T 7 C 2 (156)
heard many arguments on behalf of the freedoms, which would indeed	T 7 C 2 (156)
the freedoms as many, instead of as one. Yet the argument	T 7 C 2 (156)
argument that underlies the defense of freedom is perfectly valid. Because	T 7 C 2 (156)
listen fairly to both sides of ANY issue, he will make	T 7 C 3 (157)
ego term, because personal implies of ONE person, and NOT of	T 7 C 4 (157)
of ONE person, and NOT of others. Interpersonal has similar error	T 7 C 4 (157)
people. When we spoke before of the extremely PERSONAL nature of	T 7 C 4 (157)
of the extremely PERSONAL nature of revelation, we followed this statement	T 7 C 4 (157)
statement immediately with a description of the inevitable outcomes of the	T 7 C 4 (157)
description of the inevitable outcomes of the revelation in terms of	T 7 C 4 (157)
of the revelation in terms of SHARING. A person conceives of	T 7 C 4 (157)
of SHARING. A person conceives of himself as separate largely because	T 7 C 4 (157)
separate largely because he perceives OF himself as bounded by a	T 7 C 4 (157)
LEARNING is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that	T 7 C 5 (157)
His Sons, in the surety of being, KNOW that what you	T 7 C 5 (157)
project you ARE. That form of the law is not adapted	T 7 C 5 (157)
at all, being the Law of Creation. God Himself created the	T 7 C 5 (157)
gladly, knowing that the increase of the Kingdom depends on it	T 7 C 5 (157)
he must alter the FORM of what he translates, NEVER changes	T 7 C 6 (157)
Holy Spirit is the TRANSLATOR of the Laws of God to	T 7 C 6 (157)
the TRANSLATOR of the Laws of God to those who do	T 7 C 6 (157)
DO NOT MATTER. The meaning of His message is ALWAYS the	T 7 C 7 (158)
meaning matters. Gods Law of Creation in perfect form does	T 7 C 7 (158)
does not involve the USE of truth to convince His Sons	T 7 C 7 (158)
truth to convince His Sons OF truth. The EXTENSION of truth	T 7 C 7 (158)
Sons OF truth. The EXTENSION of truth, which IS the Law	T 7 C 7 (158)
truth, which IS the Law of the Kingdom, rests only on	T 7 C 7 (158)
rests only on the knowledge of what truth IS. This is	T 7 C 7 (158)
one questions the intimate connection of learning and memory. Learning is	T 7 C 8 (158)
you listen to two ways of perceiving them. Therefore, you must	T 7 C 8 (158)
What can the perfect consistency of the Kingdom mean to the	T 7 C 9 (158)
why it IS the Kingdom of God. It belongs to Him	T 7 C 9 (158)
said there is no order of difficulty in miracles because they	T 7 D 1 (159)
they are ALL maximal expressions of love. This has no range	T 7 D 1 (159)
what WAS there in terms of amount. The nothing is neither	T 7 D 1 (159)
neither greater nor less because of what is absent. T	T 7 D 1 (159)
clear in considering psychological tests of maximal performance. You cannot interpret	T 7 D 2 (159)
D 3 The results of such tests are evaluated relatively	T 7 D 3 (159)
dealing with ABILITIES, where degree of development is meaningful. This does	T 7 D 3 (159)
160) OPPOSITE of what the ego has learned	T 7 D 4 (160)
ego has learned. The KIND of learning is as irrelevant as	T 7 D 4 (160)
not have a better example of the Holy Spirits unified	T 7 D 4 (160)
has taken very diversified areas of YOUR learning, and has applied	T 7 D 4 (160)
able to perform ALL aspects of your work with ease when	T 7 D 6 (160)
results. By teaching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself	T 7 D 6 (160)
the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you	T 7 D 6 (160)
to anyone AT THE EXPENSE of another. Such a perception makes	T 7 D 7 (160)
E. The Recognition of Truth T	T 7 E 0 (161)
s friend is not part of you, since the ego perceives	T 7 E 2 (161)
war, and therefore in need of allies. YOU, who are NOT	T 7 E 2 (161)
Yet if they perceive ANY of their brothers as anything other	T 7 E 3 (161)
their perfect equals, the idea of competition HAS entered their minds	T 7 E 3 (161)
because it is a reflection of PERFECT Thought. It sees only	T 7 E 4 (162)
term. Inspiration is the opposite of dispiriting, and therefore means to	T 7 E 6 (162)
why the healer is part of the resurrection and the LIFE	T 7 E 6 (162)
not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the part	T 7 E 6 (162)
the sick, but the part of the mind that can perceive	T 7 E 6 (162)
because it obeys the laws of God, Whose laws are true	T 7 E 7 (162)
in application. The REAL aim of science is neither prediction nor	T 7 E 7 (162)
can ONLY be the voice of the ego. T 7	T 7 E 7 (163)
only be recognized. Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty is	T 7 E 8 (163)
the Spirit, and certainty is of God according to His laws	T 7 E 8 (163)
certainty comes from the laws OF God. Healing does not come	T 7 E 8 (163)
whole. Yet healing is still OF God because it proceeds from	T 7 E 8 (163)
their result, in a state of mind which does NOT know	T 7 E 8 (163)
God because you are part of Him. The miracles which the	T 7 E 9 (163)
inspires can have no order of difficulty because every part of	T 7 E 9 (163)
of difficulty because every part of creation is of ONE order	T 7 E 9 (163)
every part of creation is of ONE order. This is God	T 7 E 9 (163)
WILL AND YOURS. The laws of God ESTABLISH this, and the	T 7 E 9 (163)
the Holy Spirit reminds you OF it. When you heal, you	T 7 E 9 (163)
you are REMEMBERING the laws of God and forgetting the laws	T 7 E 9 (163)
God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said before	T 7 E 9 (163)
forgetting is merely a way of remembering BETTER. It is therefore	T 7 E 9 (163)
is therefore NOT the opposite of remembering, when it is properly	T 7 E 9 (163)
IMPROPERLY, it induces a perception of CONFLICT with something ELSE, as	T 7 E 9 (163)
used as a way OUT of conflict, as all proper perception	T 7 E 9 (163)
whole. BY healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of	T 7 E 10 (163)
of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to remember	T 7 E 10 (163)
be translated into a way of REMEMBERING, and NOT perceived as	T 7 E 10 (163)
s, and it is because of this that their goals can	T 7 E 11 (163)
Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way	T 7 E 11 (164)
differences, being the ONLY way of perceiving the Sonship without this	T 7 E 11 (164)
IN accord with the laws of God even in a state	T 7 E 11 (164)
God even in a state of mind which is OUT of	T 7 E 11 (164)
of mind which is OUT of accord with His. The strength	T 7 E 11 (164)
accord with His. The strength of right perception is so great	T 7 E 11 (164)
pull, which is in all of you. T 7 E	T 7 E 11 (164)
the pull or the Will of God is not an ability	T 7 E 12 (164)
Healing, then, is a way of APPROACHING knowledge by thinking IN	T 7 E 12 (164)
IN ACCORDANCE with the laws of God, and recognizing their UNIVERSALITY	T 7 E 12 (164)
Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven because that is where	T 7 E 13 (164)
that is where the laws of God operate truly, and they	T 7 E 13 (164)
since they are the laws of Truth. But seek this ONLY	T 7 E 13 (164)
His. Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger	T 7 E 13 (164)
way of forgetting the sense of danger the ego has induced	T 7 E 13 (164)
the Holy Spirit in BOTH of you because it is a	T 7 E 13 (164)
F. Healing and the Changelessness of Mind T	T 7 F 0 (165)
is a DECISION. The effects of the egos decision in	T 7 F 1 (165)
the Holy Spirits form of communication, and the ONLY one	T 7 F 3 (165)
accept the egos confusion of mind and body. Minds can	T 7 F 3 (165)
The body in the service of the ego can hurt other	T 7 F 3 (165)
CAN result from this kind of thinking, and there is a	T 7 F 4 (166)
he IS, in the mind of another, helps HIM. T	T 7 F 5 (166)
chance, and healing that is of Him ALWAYS works. Unless the	T 7 F 6 (166)
and TEACHING conflict. Can anything of God NOT be for all	T 7 F 6 (166)
7 Love is incapable of ANY exceptions. Only if there	T 7 F 7 (166)
is fear does the IDEA of exceptions seem to be meaningful	T 7 F 7 (166)
counted on. EVERYTHING that is of God can be counted on	T 7 F 8 (166)
be counted on, because everything of God is wholly REAL. Healing	T 7 F 8 (166)
Your meaning cannot BE out of accord with His because your	T 7 F 8 (166)
His. God cannot be out of accord with HIMSELF,	T 7 F 8 (166)
and YOU cannot be out of accord with Him. You cannot	T 7 F 8 (167)
for change that a Son of God can recognize his power	T 7 F 9 (167)
no way contradicts the changelessness of mind as GOD created it	T 7 F 10 (167)
place you in a position of needing to learn a lesson	T 7 F 10 (167)
which you may worship out of fear, but which you will	T 7 F 11 (167)
and by making it part of YOU, you have accepted it	T 7 F 11 (167)
every time it deprives someone of something, IT has increased. We	T 7 F 12 (168)
increased. We have spoken often of the increase of the Kingdom	T 7 F 12 (168)
spoken often of the increase of the Kingdom by YOUR creations	T 7 F 12 (168)
why they need your remembrance of me, and Him who created	T 7 F 13 (168)
with the most holy children of a most Holy Father? Yet	T 7 F 13 (168)
with you because we ARE of one Mind, and that MIND	T 7 F 13 (168)
therefore unto me, and learn of the truth in YOU. The	T 7 F 14 (168)
to them, make them aware of the light in THEM.	T 7 F 14 (168)
This is the true communion of the Spirit Who sees the	T 7 F 15 (168)
Spirit Who sees the altar of God in everyone, and by	T 7 F 15 (168)
as one. This is part of the law of creation, and	T 7 F 15 (168)
is part of the law of creation, and therefore governs ALL	T 7 F 15 (168)
to see something in PART of it that you will not	T 7 G 1 (169)
will not attribute to ALL of it. That is why attack	T 7 G 1 (169)
WILL return to the mind of the thinker, and they WILL	T 7 G 1 (169)
perception. That includes his perception of God, of His creations, and	T 7 G 1 (169)
includes his perception of God, of His creations, and of his	T 7 G 1 (169)
God, of His creations, and of his own. He will not	T 7 G 1 (169)
He will not appreciate ANY of them if he regards them	T 7 G 1 (169)
fearfully. He will appreciate ALL of them if he regards them	T 7 G 1 (169)
loving. This loses the awareness of being, induces feelings of unreality	T 7 G 2 (169)
awareness of being, induces feelings of unreality, and results in utter	T 7 G 2 (169)
thinking has done this because of its power, but your own	T 7 G 2 (169)
because its power is NOT of your making. Your ability to	T 7 G 2 (169)
as you will is PART of its power. If you do	T 7 G 2 (169)
you have DENIED the power of your thought, and thus rendered	T 7 G 2 (169)
G 3 The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself	T 7 G 3 (169)
it stems from the power of the mind which the ego	T 7 G 3 (169)
this MUST be a source of extreme anxiety. That is why	T 7 G 3 (169)
existence FOR its existence. Fearful of perceiving the POWER of this	T 7 G 3 (169)
Fearful of perceiving the POWER of this source, it is forced	T 7 G 3 (169)
if it recognized ANY part of the Sonship it WOULD know	T 7 G 5 (170)
which have engendered a state of war, and vigilance therefore has	T 7 G 8 (171)
it WANTS to be. Aware of its weakness the ego wants	T 7 G 9 (171)
system because otherwise the light of YOUR understanding would dispel it	T 7 G 9 (171)
The ego wants no part of truth because the truth is	T 7 G 10 (171)
must give up the idea of conflict ENTIRELY and for ALL	T 7 G 10 (171)
any level are NOT problems of fact. They are problems of	T 7 G 11 (171)
of fact. They are problems of UNDERSTANDING, since they MEAN that	T 7 G 11 (171)
Spirit and to the knowledge of God. T 7 G	T 7 G 11 (172)
your being IS the knowledge of God. Any belief that you	T 7 G 12 (172)
are not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the creation	T 7 G 12 (172)
not believe YOU are part of it. T 7 G	T 7 G 12 (172)
That is all the world of the ego is. NOTHING. It	T 7 G 13 (172)
understood, and is therefore capable of being appreciated and loved. That	T 7 G 13 (172)
minds are blocking the extension of the Kingdom, and its extension	T 7 G 14 (172)
and are therefore depriving yourselves of joy. This is not God	T 7 G 15 (172)
If your will is out of accord with Gods, you	T 7 G 15 (172)
is unchangeable, no REAL conflict of will is possible. This is	T 7 G 15 (173)
as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is	T 7 H 1 (174)
- Never underestimate the power of denial. It has no power	T 7 H 1 (174)
can give it the power of YOUR mind, whose power is	T 7 H 1 (174)
whose power is without limit of any kind. If you use	T 7 H 1 (174)
is why denying any part of it means you have lost	T 7 H 1 (174)
means you have lost awareness of ALL of it. T	T 7 H 1 (174)
have lost awareness of ALL of it. T 7 H	T 7 H 1 (174)
That is the negative side of the law, as it operates	T 7 H 2 (174)
so it is as capable of being used positively as it	T 7 H 2 (174)
used positively as it is of being used destructively. Used negatively	T 7 H 2 (174)
attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, the law	T 7 H 2 (174)
you to recognize only PART of reality to appreciate ALL of	T 7 H 2 (174)
of reality to appreciate ALL of it. Mind is too powerful	T 7 H 2 (174)
it. This is the law of God, and it has NO	T 7 H 3 (174)
and are therefore not aware of it in YOU. Every response	T 7 H 3 (174)
YOURS. The picture you see of yourselves is deprived, unloving and	T 7 H 4 (174)
you will see the image of yourself, as long as perception	T 7 H 4 (175)
you have put them OUT OF YOUR MIND. While you include	T 7 H 5 (175)
H 6 The gift of life IS yours to give	T 7 H 6 (175)
given YOU. You are unaware of your gift BECAUSE you do	T 7 H 6 (175)
that is NOT the Will of your Creator. You can do	T 7 H 6 (175)
only honor to the Sons of the Living God, and count	T 7 H 6 (175)
whom God Himself created worthy of honor, and whom He honors	T 7 H 7 (175)
But love EVERYTHING He created, of which you are a part	T 7 H 7 (175)
part, or you cannot learn of His peace, and accept His	T 7 H 7 (175)
H 8 One Child of God is the ONLY teacher	T 7 H 8 (175)
teaches you the inestimable worth of EVERY Son of God, teaching	T 7 H 8 (175)
inestimable worth of EVERY Son of God, teaching it with infinite	T 7 H 8 (175)
it with infinite patience born of the infinite Love for which	T 7 H 8 (175)
they are DEPRIVED. Give, therefore, of YOUR abundance, and teach your	T 7 H 8 (176)
Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you will perceive	T 7 H 8 (176)
perceived it as a means of depriving you of something you	T 7 H 9 (176)
a means of depriving you of something you WANT. Yet you	T 7 H 9 (176)
This makes you feel DEPRIVED of it, and by projecting your	T 7 H 9 (176)
him to tear the Kingdom of Heaven from him. This is	T 7 H 9 (176)
the ultimate basis for ALL of the egos projection.	T 7 H 9 (176)
10 Being the part of your mind which does not	T 7 H 10 (176)
God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane belief	T 7 H 10 (176)
brothers, who are as incapable of this as YOU are, are	T 7 H 10 (176)
You ARE the Will of God. Do not accept anything	T 7 H 11 (176)
attacked. But see the Love of God in you, and you	T 7 H 11 (176)
WITH them. They are part of you, as you are part	T 7 H 11 (176)
you, as you are part of God. YOU are as lonely	T 7 H 11 (176)
not know Him. The peace of God IS understanding this. There	T 7 H 11 (176)
is only one way OUT of the worlds thinking, just	T 7 H 11 (176)
12 Perceive ANY part of the egos thought system	T 7 H 12 (176)
you have correctly evaluated ALL of it. This correction enables you	T 7 H 12 (176)
you to perceive ANY part of creation as	T 7 H 12 (176)
I. The Defense of Conflict T	T 7 I 0 (178)
Projection is a fundamental law of the mind, and therefore one	T 7 I 1 (178)
keeps it in the Mind of God. To the ego, the	T 7 I 1 (178)
is perceived as a way of getting RID of something it	T 7 I 1 (178)
a way of getting RID of something it does NOT want	T 7 I 1 (178)
it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you GIVE	T 7 I 1 (178)
Holy Spirit, is the law of extension. To the ego, it	T 7 I 2 (178)
ego, it is the law of deprivation. It therefore produces abundance	T 7 I 2 (178)
life. The egos use of projection must be fully understood	T 7 I 2 (178)
that IT can free you of conflict, lest you give the	T 7 I 3 (178)
using its own warped version of the laws of God, utilizes	T 7 I 3 (178)
warped version of the laws of God, utilizes the power of	T 7 I 3 (178)
of God, utilizes the power of the mind ONLY to defeat	T 7 I 3 (178)
that you have gotten RID of it. This has several fallacies	T 7 I 3 (178)
Any attempt to keep PART of it and get rid of	T 7 I 4 (178)
of it and get rid of another part does not really	T 7 I 4 (178)
the you can get RID of something you do not want	T 7 I 4 (178)
WITHIN is a complete distortion of the power of extension.	T 7 I 4 (178)
complete distortion of the power of extension. ---	T 7 I 4 (178)
There is no way out of this because it is IMPOSSIBLE	T 7 I 5 (179)
makes, underlies its whole use of projection. It does not understand	T 7 I 6 (179)
It is the distorted product of the misapplication of the laws	T 7 I 6 (179)
distorted product of the misapplication of the laws of God, by	T 7 I 6 (179)
the misapplication of the laws of God, by distorted minds which	T 7 I 6 (179)
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE EGO. It DOES depend	T 7 I 7 (179)
IS unbelievable. The utter meaninglessness of all perception that comes from	T 7 I 8 (180)
9 The whole purpose of this course is to teach	T 7 I 9 (180)
alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation, and affirming your true	T 7 I 9 (180)
whole Kingdom as literally PART of you. This identification is as	T 7 I 9 (180)
infinity. J. The Extension of the Kingdom	T 7 J 0 (180)
wills you to deprive yourself of your creations than He wills	T 7 J 1 (180)
He wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your	T 7 J 1 (180)
yourself from God. Selfishness is of the ego, but self-fullness is	T 7 J 1 (180)
the ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul because that is	T 7 J 1 (180)
Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between	T 7 J 1 (180)
between them ALWAYS in favor of the Soul. To the ego	T 7 J 1 (180)
its fullness, and cannot conceive of any part from which it	T 7 J 1 (180)
Soul KNOWS that the consciousness of all its brothers is included	T 7 J 2 (180)
included in God. The power of the whole Sonship AND of	T 7 J 2 (180)
of the whole Sonship AND of its Creator is therefore the	T 7 J 2 (180)
power because it is part of Him and shares His Being	T 7 J 2 (180)
Him. Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the	T 7 J 2 (180)
as blessing is the opposite of sacrifice. Being MUST be extended	T 7 J 2 (180)
the knowledge of ITSELF. T 7 J	T 7 J 2 (181)
EXTEND His Being. The extension of Gods Being is the	T 7 J 3 (181)
more than can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness IS extension	T 7 J 3 (181)
but God does not know of unfulfillment, and therefore you MUST	T 7 J 3 (181)
their reality than your unawareness of your Soul can interfere with	T 7 J 3 (181)
it is in the Mind of God. You do not KNOW	T 7 J 4 (181)
own self-fullness. Exclude ANY part of the Kingdom from yourself, and	T 7 J 4 (181)
fullness, and needs the miracle of its wholeness to dawn upon	T 7 J 4 (181)
it to the Kingdom because of its ACCEPTANCE of wholeness. The	T 7 J 4 (181)
Kingdom because of its ACCEPTANCE of wholeness. The full appreciation of	T 7 J 4 (181)
of wholeness. The full appreciation of its self-fullness makes selfishness impossible	T 7 J 4 (181)
Insanity is therefore the NON-extension of truth, which blocks joy because	T 7 J 5 (181)
is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them	T 7 J 5 (181)
They are there as part of your own being because your	T 7 J 5 (181)
fulfillment INCLUDES them. The creations of every Son of God are	T 7 J 5 (181)
The creations of every Son of God are yours since every	T 7 J 5 (181)
to add to the inheritance of the Sons of God, and	T 7 J 6 (181)
the inheritance of the Sons of God, and	T 7 J 6 (181)
If it was the Will of God to give it to	T 7 J 6 (182)
the whole can be born of its wholeness. T 7	T 7 J 6 (182)
peace. Miracles are an EXPRESSION of this confidence. They are reflections	T 7 J 7 (182)
confidence. They are reflections both of your own proper identification with	T 7 J 7 (182)
identification with your brothers, and of your own awareness that your	T 7 J 7 (182)
PERCEPTION. By including ANY part of totality in the lesson, you	T 7 J 7 (182)
said that, when you write of the Kingdom and your creations	T 7 J 7 (182)
to acknowledge the whole result of the egos premises. The	T 7 J 7 (182)
The Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this world	T 7 J 7 (182)
could possibly want ANY part of it is because you do	T 7 J 8 (182)
do NOT see the whole of it. You are willing to	T 7 J 8 (182)
same thing with the premises of God? T 7 J	T 7 J 8 (182)
creations ARE the logical outcome of His premises. His thinking has	T 7 J 9 (182)
in your mind as part of your identification with His, but	T 7 J 9 (182)
with His, but your state of mind and your recognition of	T 7 J 9 (182)
of mind and your recognition of what is IN your mind	T 7 J 9 (182)
and deny what IS. Neither of these possibilities requires further elaboration	T 7 J 9 (183)
It is the logical outcome of what you ARE. The ability	T 7 J 10 (183)
to avoid pain. The undoing of pain must obviously avoid pain	T 7 J 10 (183)
says. K. The Confusion of Strength and Weakness	T 7 K 0 (183)
This confusion is the cause of the whole idea of sacrifice	T 7 K 1 (183)
cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit	T 7 K 1 (183)
believe that doing the OPPOSITE of Gods Will can be	T 7 K 2 (183)
possible to DO the opposite of Gods Will. Therefore, you	T 7 K 2 (183)
be due to projection. Projection of this kind IS a confusion	T 7 K 3 (184)
too, is merely a matter of his own belief. Believing that	T 7 K 4 (184)
at all. If the result of this decision is confusion, this	T 7 K 4 (184)
that you ARE the Will of God. His Will is not	T 7 K 5 (184)
fallacy. The only way OUT of the fallacy is to decide	T 7 K 5 (184)
undo it. Even the relinquishment of your false decision-making prerogative, which	T 7 K 5 (184)
FOR you by the Will of God, Who has not left	T 7 K 5 (184)
and WILL lead you out of the confusion which you have	T 7 K 5 (184)
no confusion in the mind of a Son of God, whose	T 7 K 5 (184)
the mind of a Son of God, whose will MUST be	T 7 K 5 (184)
will MUST be the Will of the Father because the Father	T 7 K 5 (184)
IN ACCORD with the Will of God, Whose Will you do	T 7 K 6 (184)
joy. L. The State of Grace T	T 7 L 0 (185)
He speaks for the Kingdom of God, which IS joy. Following	T 7 L 1 (185)
easy, because it is not of the world, and is therefore	T 7 L 1 (185)
AGAINST your nature, being out of accord with Gods laws	T 7 L 1 (185)
laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is	T 7 L 1 (185)
that there IS no order of difficulty in miracles, you will	T 7 L 1 (185)
because it is a state of grace. T 7 L	T 7 L 1 (185)
Grace is the NATURAL state of every Son of God. When	T 7 L 2 (185)
NATURAL state of every Son of God. When he is NOT	T 7 L 2 (185)
is NOT in a state of grace, he is out of	T 7 L 2 (185)
of grace, he is out of his natural environment and does	T 7 L 2 (185)
point in trying. A Son of God is happy ONLY when	T 7 L 2 (185)
only environment that is worthy of him, because his own worth	T 7 L 2 (185)
a home for a Child of God? Does it protect his	T 7 L 3 (185)
give always, without any sense of loss? Does it teach him	T 7 L 3 (185)
who could give the Love of God to everything you see	T 7 L 4 (186)
this lesson because the lack of exceptions IS the lesson. Every	T 7 L 4 (186)
because he has learned it of the Holy Spirit, Who wants	T 7 L 4 (186)
extends out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into	T 7 L 4 (186)
L 5 The Majesty of God is there, for you	T 7 L 5 (186)
and KNOW. Perceiving the Majesty of God AS your brother is	T 7 L 5 (186)
very difficult for you. OUT of your natural environment you may	T 7 L 5 (186)
are denying yours AND THAT OF GOD WHO CREATED YOU. You	T 7 L 6 (186)
YOU. You cannot deny part of truth. You do not know	T 7 L 6 (186)
know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God includes all His Sons	T 7 L 7 (187)
Father. Know, then, the Sons of God, and you will know	T 7 L 7 (187)
This is actually a way of holding on to deprivation. You	T 8 A 1 (188)
and peace is the CONDITION of knowledge, because it is the	T 8 A 1 (188)
because it is the condition of the Kingdom. T 8	T 8 A 1 (188)
It is merely the result of your misuse of His laws	T 8 A 2 (188)
the result of your misuse of His laws on behalf of	T 8 A 2 (188)
of His laws on behalf of a will that is not	T 8 A 2 (188)
for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to interfere	T 8 A 2 (188)
real. Hallucinations ARE inaccurate perceptions of reality. Yet you are not	T 8 A 3 (188)
to evaluate them in terms of their results to YOU. If	T 8 A 3 (188)
want them on the basis of loss of peace, they will	T 8 A 3 (188)
on the basis of loss of peace, they will be removed	T 8 A 3 (188)
and war DOES deprive you of peace. Yet in this war	T 8 A 3 (188)
opponent. THIS is the reinterpretation of reality which you must make	T 8 A 3 (188)
make. B. The Direction of the Curriculum	T 8 B 0 (188)
perceive as opponents are PART of your peace, which YOU are	T 8 B 1 (188)
outcomes must be a sign of learning failure, since it means	T 8 B 2 (189)
what you WANT. The curriculum of the Atonement is the opposite	T 8 B 2 (189)
the Atonement is the opposite of the curriculum you have established	T 8 B 2 (189)
ITS OUTCOME. If the outcome of yours has made you unhappy	T 8 B 2 (189)
4 The total senselessness of such a curriculum must be	T 8 B 4 (189)
learning that is the PURPOSE of the curriculum, you must learn	T 8 C 1 (189)
curriculum, you must learn it of Him. The ego does not	T 8 C 1 (189)
this? Does the total disregard of anything it teaches make anything	T 8 C 2 (190)
teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find	T 8 C 2 (190)
ANYTHING. Simply on the grounds of your own experience with the	T 8 C 2 (190)
path, and facilitates the development of what you HAVE. When you	T 8 C 2 (190)
the ego is the DENIAL of free will. It is NEVER	T 8 C 3 (190)
Gods cannot be out of accord BECAUSE they are one	T 8 C 3 (190)
one. This is the undoing of EVERYTHING the ego tries to	T 8 C 3 (190)
not, then, only the direction of the curriculum which must be	T 8 C 3 (190)
learn it is a violation of your own freedom, and makes	T 8 C 4 (190)
freedom, and makes you afraid of your will BECAUSE it is	T 8 C 4 (190)
Holy Spirit opposes ANY imprisoning of the will of a Son	T 8 C 4 (190)
ANY imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, KNOWING	T 8 C 4 (190)
the will of a Son of God, KNOWING that the will	T 8 C 4 (190)
God, KNOWING that the will of the Son IS the Father	T 8 C 4 (190)
you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how to	T 8 C 4 (190)
Can you ask the part of your mind that taught you	T 8 C 5 (191)
God. Yet he cannot conceive of God without YOU because it	T 8 C 6 (191)
what we meant: The Will of God is without limit, and	T 8 C 7 (191)
things It made them part of Itself. YOU are the Will	T 8 C 7 (191)
Itself. YOU are the Will of God because this is how	T 8 C 7 (191)
like Him. You are part of Him Who IS all power	T 8 C 7 (191)
and for its own acknowledgment of what it is. When you	T 8 C 8 (191)
in answer to the Call of God. This is the natural	T 8 C 8 (191)
This is the natural response of every Son of God to	T 8 C 8 (191)
natural response of every Son of God to the Voice of	T 8 C 8 (191)
of God to the Voice of his Creator, because it is	T 8 C 8 (191)
to the Teacher Who KNOWS of light, and can therefore TEACH	T 8 D 1 (192)
To fulfill the Will of God perfectly is the only	T 8 D 2 (192)
upon you, being an experience of total WILLINGNESS. The Holy Spirit	T 8 D 2 (192)
this is the natural outcome of their being. T 8	T 8 D 2 (192)
D 3 The Will of the Father and of the	T 8 D 3 (192)
Will of the Father and of the Son are One together	T 8 D 3 (192)
Their extension is the RESULT of their Oneness, holding their unity	T 8 D 3 (192)
God have the holy function of extending His Fatherhood by placing	T 8 D 3 (192)
will know what it MEANS of God Himself. T 8	T 8 D 3 (192)
treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of	T 8 D 4 (192)
of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for	T 8 D 4 (192)
find yourself or lose sight of yourself. Whenever two Sons of	T 8 D 4 (192)
of yourself. Whenever two Sons of God meet,	T 8 D 4 (192)
there with you, in remembrance of YOU. T 8 D	T 8 D 4 (193)
D 5 The goal of the curriculum, regardless of the	T 8 D 5 (193)
goal of the curriculum, regardless of the teacher you choose, is	T 8 D 5 (193)
To achieve the goal of the curriculum, then, you CANNOT	T 8 D 7 (193)
what the ego has made of YOU. This IS your responsibility	T 8 D 7 (193)
You can encounter ONLY part of yourself because you are part	T 8 D 8 (193)
yourself because you are part of God, Who IS everything. His	T 8 D 8 (193)
EVERY imprisoning thought ANY part of the Sonship has accepted. Wrong	T 8 D 8 (194)
to Him because He gives of Himself, and EVERYTHING belongs to	T 8 D 9 (194)
EVERYTHING belongs to Him. Giving of YOUR self is the function	T 8 D 9 (194)
teach you what you HAVE of Him, and this will teach	T 8 D 9 (194)
E. The Light of the World	T 8 E 0 (195)
It is therefore an illusion of isolation, maintained by fear of	T 8 E 2 (195)
of isolation, maintained by fear of the same loneliness which IS	T 8 E 2 (195)
always, even to the end of the world. That is WHY	T 8 E 2 (195)
WHY I am the light of the world. If I am	T 8 E 2 (195)
with you in the loneliness of the world, THE LONELINESS IS	T 8 E 2 (195)
You CANNOT maintain the illusion of loneliness if you are NOT	T 8 E 2 (195)
light must dispel it because of what it IS. T	T 8 E 2 (195)
wherever you go. The remembrance of me IS the remembrance of	T 8 E 3 (195)
of me IS the remembrance of yourself and of Him Who	T 8 E 3 (195)
the remembrance of yourself and of Him Who sent me to	T 8 E 3 (195)
done completely by ANY part of the Sonship. When this was	T 8 E 3 (195)
simply to unite the will of the Sonship with the Will	T 8 E 3 (195)
the Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware	T 8 E 3 (195)
the Father by being aware of the Fathers Will myself	T 8 E 3 (195)
accepting it IS the problem of this world. Dispelling it is	T 8 E 3 (195)
sense I AM the salvation of the world. T 8	T 8 E 3 (195)
to me are the reactions of the world	T 8 E 4 (195)
you will to have it of me, you MUST give it	T 8 E 5 (196)
AGAINST healing, and your veto of my will for you MAKES	T 8 E 6 (196)
because will is the MECHANISM of decision. It is the power	T 8 E 7 (196)
were not so, the Sons of God would be unequal. All	T 8 E 7 (196)
can only acknowledge in honor of HIS. If you want to	T 8 E 8 (197)
cannot be learned by tyranny of any kind, and the perfect	T 8 E 8 (197)
kind, and the perfect equality of all Gods Sons cannot	T 8 E 8 (197)
be recognized through the dominion of one will over another. God	T 8 E 8 (197)
will, all being the Will of their Father. This is the	T 8 E 8 (197)
not LET it be free. Of yourselves you can do nothing	T 8 E 9 (197)
you can do nothing, because of yourselves you ARE nothing. I	T 8 E 9 (197)
you, and in MY remembrance of you lies your remembrance of	T 8 E 9 (197)
of you lies your remembrance of YOURSELF. In our remembrance of	T 8 E 9 (197)
of YOURSELF. In our remembrance of EACH OTHER lies our remembrance	T 8 E 9 (197)
EACH OTHER lies our remembrance of God. And in this remembrance	T 8 E 9 (197)
then, with me in praise of Him AND you whom He	T 8 E 9 (197)
created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He	T 8 E 9 (197)
Him it is the gift of freedom, which IS His Will	T 8 E 9 (197)
s Sons, being an acknowledgment of what THEY are and what	T 8 E 10 (197)
yourself, you are losing sight of your true identification with me	T 8 E 10 (197)
other. If you are part of one, you must be part	T 8 E 10 (197)
one, you must be part of the other because they ARE	T 8 E 10 (197)
fulfill your function as PART of It, It is as bereft	T 8 E 11 (198)
as YOU are. No part of It can be imprisoned if	T 8 E 11 (198)
is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By NOT	T 8 E 12 (198)
NOT BEING SEPARATE, the Will of God is established IN ours	T 8 E 12 (198)
is undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect	T 8 E 12 (198)
being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it IS	T 8 E 12 (198)
exempting yourself from the Will of God which IS yourself.	T 8 E 12 (198)
without recognizing Him? The recognition of God IS the recognition of	T 8 E 13 (198)
of God IS the recognition of yourself. There IS no separation	T 8 E 13 (198)
yourself. There IS no separation of God and His creation. You	T 8 E 13 (198)
that there is no separation of YOUR will and MINE. Let	T 8 E 13 (198)
and MINE. Let the Love of God shine upon you by	T 8 E 13 (198)
upon you by your acceptance of me. MY reality is yours	T 8 E 13 (198)
your awareness that the Will of God is One. T	T 8 E 13 (198)
offer you only the RECOGNITION of His power in you, but	T 8 E 14 (198)
Glory be to the union of God and His holy Sons	T 8 E 14 (198)
bear witness to the Will of the Father for His Son	T 8 E 14 (199)
YOURSELF. The truth in both of us is BEYOND the ego	T 8 E 15 (199)
share this confidence for both of us and ALL of us	T 8 E 15 (199)
both of us and ALL of us. I bring Gods	T 8 E 15 (199)
children because I received it of Him for us all. Nothing	T 8 E 15 (199)
Would you know the Will of God for YOU? Ask it	T 8 E 15 (199)
God for YOU? Ask it of me who knows it FOR	T 8 E 15 (199)
me as your companion INSTEAD of the ego. Do not try	T 8 E 16 (199)
Let us not lose sight of His direction through illusions, for	T 8 E 17 (199)
through illusions, for only illusions of another direction can obscure the	T 8 E 17 (199)
s Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the ego	T 8 E 17 (199)
and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you	T 8 E 17 (199)
F. The Power of Joint Decision	T 8 F 0 (200)
WE are the joint will of the Sonship, whose wholeness is	T 8 F 1 (200)
you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the world	T 8 F 1 (200)
the power and the glory of God and His holy Sons	T 8 F 1 (200)
tell you that the choice of which is true is not	T 8 F 2 (200)
did not will the destruction of His creations, having created them	T 8 F 2 (200)
yourselves but from your ILLUSIONS of yourselves. He has saved you	T 8 F 2 (200)
not because he is deprived of anything else, but because nothing	T 8 F 2 (200)
because nothing else is WORTHY of him. What God and His	T 8 F 2 (200)
Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and learn	T 8 F 3 (200)
is and YOURS: This son of a loving father left his	T 8 F 3 (200)
he squandered everything for nothing of any value, although he did	T 8 F 3 (200)
to YOU. Can the creations of God Himself take joy in	T 8 F 4 (200)
IS real except the creations of God and those which are	T 8 F 4 (201)
your Father for the gift of creation. There IS no other	T 8 F 4 (201)
the DECISION to be unworthy of both. Yet you could not	T 8 F 5 (201)
because you are the treasure of God. What HE values IS	T 8 F 5 (201)
There can BE no question of its worth because its value	T 8 F 5 (201)
IS. Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you	T 8 F 6 (201)
can even imprison the minds of Gods Sons, IF THEY	T 8 F 7 (201)
one you should ever ask of yourself;- Do I WANT	T 8 F 8 (201)
me because I asked it of Him, and learned of what	T 8 F 8 (202)
it of Him, and learned of what He had already given	T 8 F 8 (202)
at all. The whole power of Gods Son lies in	T 8 F 8 (202)
s Son lies in all of us, but not in any	T 8 F 8 (202)
us, but not in any of us alone. God would not	T 8 F 8 (202)
and we are the Sons of God Himself, and therefore as	T 8 F 9 (202)
and thus increase the joy of the Holy Trinity. You do	T 8 F 9 (202)
share with God the knowledge of the value HE puts upon	T 8 F 9 (202)
My devotion to you is of Him, being born of my	T 8 F 9 (202)
is of Him, being born of my knowledge of myself AND	T 8 F 9 (202)
being born of my knowledge of myself AND Him. We cannot	T 8 F 9 (202)
God is merely the re-awakening of the knowledge of WHERE you	T 8 F 10 (202)
the re-awakening of the knowledge of WHERE you are always, and	T 8 F 10 (202)
I can make you aware of the CONDITIONS of truth, but	T 8 F 10 (202)
you aware of the CONDITIONS of truth, but the experience is	T 8 F 10 (202)
truth, but the experience is of God. Together we can meet	T 8 F 10 (202)
truth will dawn upon you of itself. T 8 F	T 8 F 10 (202)
does. You who are beloved of God are wholly blessed. Learn	T 8 F 11 (202)
are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the holy	T 8 F 11 (202)
and free the holy will of all those who are as	T 8 F 11 (202)
is the egos INTERPRETATION of the body. You do not	T 8 G 1 (203)
not believe this, the idea of attack would have no appeal	T 8 G 1 (203)
experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of himself in	T 8 G 1 (203)
a Child of God thinks of himself in this way he	T 8 G 1 (203)
body only as a means of communication. Being the communication link	T 8 G 2 (203)
have made in the light of what HE is. The ego	T 8 G 2 (203)
yours solely as a means of joining their MINDS and uniting	T 8 G 2 (203)
yours and mine. This interpretation of the body will change your	T 8 G 2 (203)
mind entirely about its value. Of itself it has NONE.	T 8 G 2 (203)
only to reach the minds of those who believe they are	T 8 G 3 (203)
begin to understand the power of the mind that is in	T 8 G 3 (203)
mind that is in both of you. If you use the	T 8 G 3 (203)
for attack. In the service of uniting, it becomes a beautiful	T 8 G 3 (203)
This is Gods way of making unlimited what you have	T 8 G 3 (203)
can render God on behalf of the function He has given	T 8 G 3 (203)
put. And in the body of another you will SEE the	T 8 G 4 (203)
Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you	T 8 G 4 (203)
use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not	T 8 G 4 (203)
hatred and attack AND LOSS OF PEACE. T 8 G	T 8 G 4 (204)
from your own misunderstanding. Loss of ANY kind is impossible. When	T 8 G 5 (204)
escape from YOURS. As part of you, HE is holy. As	T 8 G 5 (204)
HE is holy. As part of me, YOU are. To communicate	T 8 G 5 (204)
are. To communicate with part of God Himself is to reach	T 8 G 5 (204)
He has established as part of YOU. T 8 G	T 8 G 5 (204)
6 Rejoice, then, that of yourselves you can do nothing	T 8 G 6 (204)
do nothing. You are not OF yourselves. He of Whom you	T 8 G 6 (204)
are not OF yourselves. He of Whom you ARE has willed	T 8 G 6 (204)
from Him. Let no Son of God remain hidden for His	T 8 G 6 (204)
seems to involve the translation of one order of reality into	T 8 G 7 (204)
the translation of one order of reality into another. Different orders	T 8 G 7 (204)
reality into another. Different orders of reality merely APPEAR to exist	T 8 G 7 (204)
exist, just as different orders of miracles do. Thought cannot be	T 8 G 7 (204)
unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirits purpose	T 8 G 7 (204)
thus to confuse the goal of His curriculum. T 8	T 8 G 7 (204)
he cannot learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he MUST	T 8 G 8 (204)
an impossible learning situation, regardless of why it is impossible, is	T 8 G 8 (204)
because it is a curriculum of joy. Whenever the reaction to	T 8 G 8 (205)
is only because the goal of the curriculum has been lost	T 8 G 8 (205)
curriculum has been lost sight of. T 8 G 9	T 8 G 8 (205)
means by which the part of the mind which you have	T 8 G 9 (205)
temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where devotion	T 8 G 9 (205)
Healing is the result of using the body SOLELY for	T 8 G 10 (205)
and the belief that part of it is physical, or NOT	T 8 G 10 (205)
G 11 The removal of blocks, then, is the ONLY	T 8 G 11 (205)
healing are the normal expressions of a mind which is working	T 8 G 11 (205)
it WILL distort its perception of the body, and by blocking	T 8 G 11 (205)
is not true. A medium of communication will LOSE its usefulness	T 8 G 11 (205)
else. To use a medium of communication as a medium of	T 8 G 11 (205)
of communication as a medium of --- Manuscript	T 8 G 11 (205)
THING, and NOT suffer? Perception of the body can be unified	T 8 G 12 (206)
its own aids with hope of understanding either the aids OR	T 8 G 12 (206)
the body to the re-establishment of the power of the mind	T 8 G 12 (206)
the re-establishment of the power of the mind in it. This	T 8 G 12 (206)
G 13 The arrest of the minds extension is	T 8 G 13 (206)
s extension is the cause of ALL illness because ONLY extension	T 8 G 13 (206)
minds function. The opposite of joy is depression. When your	T 8 G 13 (206)
your learning promotes depression INSTEAD of joy, you CANNOT be listening	T 8 G 13 (206)
as anything except a means of pure extension is to limit	T 8 G 13 (206)
is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes	T 8 G 13 (206)
only be an ASSUMED purpose of the body, because APART from	T 8 G 13 (206)
ESCAPE from limitations? To conceive of the body as a means	T 8 G 14 (206)
the body as a means of attack of any kind and	T 8 G 14 (206)
as a means of attack of any kind and to entertain	T 8 G 14 (206)
result, is a clear-cut indication of a poor learner. He has	T 8 G 14 (206)
contradiction to the unified purpose of the curriculum, and is interfering	T 8 G 14 (206)
yourself, but condemnation is NOT of God. Therefore, it is not	T 8 G 15 (207)
true. No more are any of the RESULTS of your condemnation	T 8 G 15 (207)
are any of the RESULTS of your condemnation. When you see	T 8 G 15 (207)
since it is a form of attack, then it can HAVE	T 8 G 15 (207)
to suffer from the results of what is not true. Free	T 8 G 16 (207)
impossibility, and your full awareness OF its complete impossibility, lie your	T 8 G 16 (207)
power and wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not	T 8 G 16 (207)
ATTACK. The egos definitions of EVERYTHING are childish, and always	T 8 H 1 (208)
is because it is incapable of true generalizations, and equates what	T 8 H 1 (208)
then, is not the source of its own health. The body	T 8 H 1 (208)
lies solely in your interpretation of its function. T 8	T 8 H 1 (208)
reason why definitions in terms of function are inferior is that	T 8 H 2 (208)
be inaccurate. Functions are part of being since they arise from	T 8 H 2 (208)
whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of	T 8 H 2 (208)
of knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to KNOW	T 8 H 2 (208)
to know ENTIRELY is because of the fundamental DIFFERENCE between knowledge	T 8 H 2 (208)
the whole is built up of parts, which CAN separate and	T 8 H 2 (208)
body is regarded as capable of shifting its control from one	T 8 H 3 (208)
the other, making the concept of both health AND sickness possible	T 8 H 3 (208)
have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end that the ego	T 8 H 3 (208)
from the egos point of view because it obscures the	T 8 H 4 (209)
that it IS entirely out of keeping with what you want	T 8 H 5 (209)
a strong witness on behalf of the egos views. A	T 8 H 5 (209)
defend it. Therefore, their choice of witnesses should be suspect from	T 8 H 5 (209)
that judgment IS the function of the Holy Spirit, and one	T 8 H 5 (209)
the body has no function of itself because it is NOT	T 8 H 6 (209)
function. This is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its	T 8 H 6 (209)
aim is to lose sight of the function of EVERYTHING. A	T 8 H 6 (209)
lose sight of the function of EVERYTHING. A sick body does	T 8 H 6 (209)
which the egos interpretation of the body rests are true	T 8 H 6 (209)
Sickness is a way of demonstrating that YOU CAN BE	T 8 H 7 (209)
The Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the same data, does not	T 8 H 7 (210)
in considering them. The function of truth is to collect data	T 8 H 7 (210)
trying to make sense out of meaningless data. ANY way you	T 8 H 7 (210)
Sickness is merely another example of your insistence on asking the	T 8 H 8 (210)
insistence on asking the guidance of a teacher WHO DOES NOT	T 8 H 8 (210)
ANSWER. The ego is INCAPABLE of knowing how you feel. When	T 8 H 8 (210)
well ask how the voice of something which does not exist	T 8 H 9 (210)
seriously considered the distorting power of something you WANT, even if	T 8 H 9 (210)
You have had many instances of how what you want can	T 8 H 9 (210)
body to be a mirror of a split mind. Do not	T 8 H 10 (210)
let it be an image of your own perception of littleness	T 8 H 10 (210)
image of your own perception of littleness. Do not let it	T 8 H 10 (210)
Health is the natural state of anything whose interpretation is left	T 8 H 10 (211)
anything. Health is the result of relinquishing ALL attempts to use	T 8 H 10 (211)
lovelessly. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on life	T 8 H 10 (211)
on life under the guidance of the one Teacher Who knows	T 8 H 10 (211)
learn to question the value of the ego, and thus establish	T 8 I 1 (211)
teach you the right PERCEPTION of the body, for perception alone	T 8 I 1 (211)
they are not. The REALITY of everything is totally harmless, because	T 8 I 2 (211)
total harmlessness is the CONDITION of its reality. It is also	T 8 I 2 (211)
It is also the condition of your AWARENESS of its reality	T 8 I 2 (211)
the condition of your AWARENESS of its reality. You do not	T 8 I 2 (211)
conditions. Its conditions are part of what it IS. And this	T 8 I 2 (211)
to you. The rest is of Itself. You need do so	T 8 I 2 (211)
Wholeness heals because it is of the mind. ALL forms of	T 8 I 3 (211)
of the mind. ALL forms of sickness, even unto death, are	T 8 I 3 (211)
unto death, are physical expressions of the FEAR OF AWAKENING. They	T 8 I 3 (211)
physical expressions of the FEAR OF AWAKENING. They are attempts to	T 8 I 3 (211)
attempts to reinforce UNCONSCIOUSNESS out of fear of CONSCIOUSNESS. This is	T 8 I 3 (211)
reinforce UNCONSCIOUSNESS out of fear of CONSCIOUSNESS. This is a pathetic	T 8 I 3 (211)
This is a pathetic way of trying NOT to know by	T 8 I 3 (211)
is joining. Dreams are ILLUSIONS of joining, taking on the ego	T 8 I 3 (211)
can use dreams on behalf of WAKING, if you will let	T 8 I 3 (212)
you wake is the sign of how you have used sleep	T 8 I 4 (212)
wake dispiritedly, it was NOT of the Holy Spirit. ONLY when	T 8 I 4 (212)
have MISUSED it on behalf of sickness. Sleep is no more	T 8 I 4 (212)
is no more a form of death than death is a	T 8 I 4 (212)
than death is a form of unconsciousness. UNCONSCIOUSNESS IS IMPOSSIBLE. You	T 8 I 4 (212)
is release from the fear of waking and the substitution of	T 8 I 5 (212)
of waking and the substitution of the WILL TO WAKE. The	T 8 I 5 (212)
Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He taught	T 8 I 5 (212)
He taught that one form of sickness is more serious than	T 8 I 5 (212)
mean to make nothing out of what God created. The ego	T 8 I 6 (212)
sensible. Believing in the power of attack, the ego WANTS attack	T 8 I 6 (212)
marked tendency on the part of many of the Bibles	T 8 I 7 (212)
on the part of many of the Bibles followers, and	T 8 I 7 (212)
the references to the outcomes of love which SHOULD be taken	T 8 I 7 (213)
errors, to take no thought of the body AS SEPARATE, and	T 8 I 8 (213)
a shared identification. The Name of Gods Son is one	T 8 I 8 (213)
enjoined to do the works of love because we SHARE this	T 8 I 8 (213)
limit YOURSELF we are NOT of one mind, and that IS	T 8 I 9 (213)
sickness. Yet sickness is not of the body, but of the	T 8 I 9 (213)
not of the body, but of the MIND. ALL forms of	T 8 I 9 (213)
of the MIND. ALL forms of dysfunction are merely signs that	T 8 I 9 (213)
I 10 The unification of PURPOSE, then, is the Holy	T 8 I 10 (213)
Holy Spirits ONLY way of healing. This is because it	T 8 I 10 (213)
healing means anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic thought	T 8 I 10 (213)
meaning, since meaning itself is of God. Yet your RETURN to	T 8 I 10 (213)
because your meaning is PART of His. Your healing, then, is	T 8 I 10 (213)
Your healing, then, is part of HIS health since it is	T 8 I 10 (213)
health since it is part of His Wholeness. He cannot LOSE	T 8 I 10 (213)
J. The Acceptance of Reality T	T 8 J 0 (214)
8 J 1 Fear of the Will of God is	T 8 J 1 (214)
Fear of the Will of God is one of the	T 8 J 1 (214)
Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the	T 8 J 1 (214)
the mind to be AFRAID of what it really is. It	T 8 J 1 (214)
very fact that the Will of God, which is what you	T 8 J 1 (214)
demonstrates that you ARE afraid of what you are. It is	T 8 J 1 (214)
is not, then, the Will of God of which you are	T 8 J 1 (214)
then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but	T 8 J 1 (214)
seems to be the fear of God is really only the	T 8 J 1 (214)
is really only the fear OF YOUR OWN REALITY. T	T 8 J 1 (214)
anything consistently in a state of panic. If the purpose of	T 8 J 2 (214)
of panic. If the purpose of this course is to learn	T 8 J 2 (214)
J 3 The association of truth and fear, which would	T 8 J 3 (214)
particularly inappropriate in the minds of those who do not know	T 8 J 3 (214)
IS. All that this kind of association means is that you	T 8 J 3 (214)
that you are judging something of which you are totally UNAWARE	T 8 J 3 (214)
your reality is. The purpose of this Guide is merely to	T 8 J 3 (214)
is merely to remind you of what you WANT. He is	T 8 J 3 (214)
hidden and perceive the Will of God ---	T 8 J 4 (214)
there. HIS perception of this Will can make it	T 8 J 4 (215)
reality. If, then, His perception of your mind brings its reality	T 8 J 4 (215)
5 The only source of fear in this whole process	T 8 J 5 (215)
if you ask the sacrifice of reality OF YOURSELF, the Holy	T 8 J 5 (215)
ask the sacrifice of reality OF YOURSELF, the Holy Spirit MUST	T 8 J 5 (215)
long as you are AFRAID of your will, this is precisely	T 8 J 6 (215)
wiser to consider the kind of ASKER you are. T	T 8 J 6 (215)
possibly TEACH you your will. Of him you can NEVER learn	T 8 J 7 (215)
this gives you the illusion of safety. Yet you cannot be	T 8 J 7 (215)
hold that God demands sacrifices of ANY kind. Either basic type	T 8 J 8 (216)
ANY kind. Either basic type of insane decision will induce panic	T 8 J 8 (216)
other hand, is more aware of guilt, and believing that punishment	T 8 J 9 (216)
everyone must remember the Will of God, because ultimately everyone must	T 8 J 10 (216)
ARE ONE. In the presence of truth there are NO unbelievers	T 8 J 10 (216)
NO sacrifices. In the security of reality, fear is totally meaningless	T 8 J 10 (216)
a denial in the FORM of a request. The Holy Spirit	T 8 J 11 (216)
at all, being aware only of MEANING. The	T 8 J 11 (216)
YOU can ask for EVERYTHING of the Holy Spirit because YOUR	T 8 J 11 (217)
YOUR requests are real, being of your will. Would the Holy	T 8 J 11 (217)
Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail	T 8 J 11 (217)
not recognize the enormous waste of energy which you expend in	T 8 J 12 (217)
truth. What would you say of someone who persisted in attempting	T 8 J 12 (217)
at variance with the principle of creation. God COULD not will	T 8 J 12 (217)
are interfering with the laws of seeing. If you deny love	T 8 J 13 (217)
your cooperation is THE LAW OF ITS BEING. You cannot change	T 8 J 13 (217)
not make, and the laws of happiness were created FOR you	T 8 J 13 (217)
8 J 14 Attempts of any kind to deny what	T 8 J 14 (217)
IT. But consider the result of this strange decision. You are	T 8 J 14 (217)
the unreal because the ABSENCE of reality is fearful, and fear	T 8 J 15 (217)
WILL NOT CREATE. Opposing orders of reality MAKE REALITY	T 8 J 15 (217)
This is the simple acceptance of reality because only this IS	T 8 J 16 (218)
be, for Christ is PART of Him. ---	T 8 J 16 (218)
then, that what you request of the Holy Spirit IS what	T 8 K 2 (219)
but you are still AFRAID of it. Should this be the	T 8 K 2 (219)
be the case, your ATTAINMENT of it would no longer BE	T 8 K 2 (219)
for why certain SPECIFIC forms of healing are not achieved, even	T 8 K 2 (219)
achieved, even though the state of healing IS. It frequently happens	T 8 K 2 (219)
healing because he is fearful of BODILY harm. At the same	T 8 K 2 (219)
fear, but for the removal of a symptom which HE has	T 8 K 2 (219)
answered, never doubt a Son of God. Do not question him	T 8 K 4 (219)
be shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly, and	T 8 K 4 (219)
his words are true because of the truth which is IN	T 8 K 4 (219)
K 6 Salvation is of your brother. The Holy Spirit	T 8 K 6 (220)
will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit, or believe	T 8 K 6 (220)
EXCEPT as He answers ALL of Gods Sons? Hear of	T 8 K 6 (220)
of Gods Sons? Hear of your brother what you would	T 8 K 6 (220)
you would have me hear of you, for you would not	T 8 K 6 (220)
in them, for the sake of what God gave them. They	T 8 K 8 (220)
you learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for	T 8 K 8 (220)
because judgment IS the setting of a price. And as you	T 8 K 9 (221)
in PROPORTION to your judgment of worth. If paying is associated	T 8 K 10 (221)
loss, and the RECIPROCAL relationship of giving and receiving will be	T 8 K 10 (221)
then be set high because of the value of the return	T 8 K 10 (221)
high because of the value of the return. The price for	T 8 K 10 (221)
GETTING is to lose sight of value, making it inevitable that	T 8 K 10 (221)
KNOW you have. The recognition of having is the willingness for	T 8 K 11 (221)
have, being the exact measure of the value you put upon	T 8 K 11 (221)
in turn, is the measure of how much you WANT it	T 8 K 11 (221)
12 You can ASK of the Holy Spirit, then, only	T 8 K 12 (221)
much you will be ASKING of Him, and HOW MUCH YOU	T 8 K 12 (221)
Chapter 9 - THE CORRECTION OF ERROR A. Introduction	T 9 0 0 (223)
A 1 The alertness of the ego to the errors	T 9 A 1 (223)
make is not the kind of vigilance the Holy Spirit would	T 9 A 1 (223)
Egos are critical in terms of the kind of sense they	T 9 A 1 (223)
in terms of the kind of sense they stand for. THEY	T 9 A 1 (223)
for. THEY understand this kind of sense, because it IS sensible	T 9 A 1 (223)
ego, which is totally unaware of what errors ARE and what	T 9 A 1 (223)
A 2 Errors ARE of the ego, and correction of	T 9 A 2 (223)
of the ego, and correction of errors of any kind lies	T 9 A 2 (223)
ego, and correction of errors of any kind lies solely in	T 9 A 2 (223)
lies solely in the RELINQUISHMENT of the ego. When you correct	T 9 A 2 (223)
because he is a Son of God. His ego is always	T 9 A 2 (223)
you point out the errors of your brothers ego, you	T 9 A 3 (223)
is more than merely lack of correction for him. It is	T 9 B 1 (223)
It is the giving up of correction in YOURSELF. T	T 9 B 1 (223)
brothers errors are not of him, any more than yours	T 9 B 4 (224)
any more than yours are of YOU. Accept his errors as	T 9 B 4 (224)
can ONLY be the arrogance of the ego. Correction is of	T 9 B 4 (224)
of the ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know	T 9 B 4 (224)
God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy Spirit forgives	T 9 B 4 (224)
YOURS. Accept ONLY the function of healing in time because that	T 9 B 5 (224)
Holy Spirits good use of an ability which you do	T 9 B 5 (224)
the Atonement, but the plan of the Atonement IS beyond you	T 9 C 2 (225)
plan is not yours BECAUSE of your limited ideas of what	T 9 C 2 (225)
BECAUSE of your limited ideas of what you are. This limitation	T 9 C 2 (225)
undo them, therefore, is not OF you but FOR you.	T 9 C 2 (225)
Holy Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural ability	T 9 C 3 (225)
your abilities through the eyes of the ego, or you will	T 9 C 3 (225)
helpfulness lies in the judgment of the Holy Spirit. T	T 9 C 3 (225)
ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are ASKING	T 9 C 4 (225)
ASKING for one, though not of the right teacher. The ego	T 9 C 4 (225)
teacher. The egos plan, of course, MAKES NO SENSE and	T 9 C 4 (225)

Miracles are merely the sign of your willingness to follow the	T 9 C 7 (226)
the Holy Spirits plan of salvation, in recognition of the	T 9 C 7 (226)
plan of salvation, in recognition of the fact that you do	T 9 C 7 (226)
YOUR function is. The confusion of functions is so typical of	T 9 C 7 (226)
of functions is so typical of the ego that you should	T 9 C 7 (226)
is a particularly dangerous combination of grandiosity AND confusion which makes	T 9 C 7 (226)
because it has no idea of WHAT it perceives. T	T 9 C 7 (226)
If one has no idea of what is happening, how appropriately	T 9 C 8 (226)
might still ask yourself, regardless of how ---	T 9 C 8 (226)
poor choice as a teacher of salvation. Yet this question, ridiculous	T 9 C 8 (227)
Coming is merely the return of SENSE. Can this POSSIBLY be	T 9 C 9 (227)

because it is the awareness of truth. ---	T 9 C 11 (227)
unhealed healers, and is therefore of the ego. Let us consider	T 9 D 1 (228)
have repeatedly stated that beliefs of the ego cannot be shared	T 9 D 2 (228)
the answer to the problem of healing. There is an advantage	T 9 D 2 (228)
IT does, condemn themselves because of this profound confusion. It is	T 9 D 3 (228)
BELIEVE in it. The FORM of the revolt, then, is different	T 9 D 3 (228)
4 The newer forms of the egos plan are	T 9 D 4 (228)
According to the newer forms of the egos plan, the	T 9 D 4 (228)
effects by depreciating the importance OF THE DREAMER. This WOULD be	T 9 D 4 (229)
is to REDUCE the importance of the fearer, how can this	T 9 D 5 (229)
itself without magic. Both forms of the egos approach, then	T 9 D 7 (229)
is to present an example of one whose direction has been	T 9 D 8 (229)
no longer believes in nightmares of ANY kind. The light in	T 9 D 8 (229)
but he cannot bring light of HIMSELF, for light is not	T 9 D 9 (230)
HIMSELF, for light is not of him. Yet, being FOR him	T 9 D 9 (230)
His function, and He is of God. T 9 D	T 9 D 9 (230)
are not obeying the laws of this world, but that the	T 9 D 10 (230)
you will learn the simplest of all lessons: By their fruits	T 9 D 10 (230)
E. The Awareness of the Holy Spirit	T 9 E 0 (231)
can you become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit in you	T 9 E 1 (231)
in you that is capable of producing it. If it IS	T 9 E 1 (231)
to you ARE your evaluations of His consistency. When you are	T 9 E 2 (231)
If your brothers ARE part of you, will you ACCEPT them	T 9 E 3 (231)
your learning is the result of what you taught them. What	T 9 E 3 (231)
yourself because we are PART of you, everything WE do belongs	T 9 E 3 (231)
Soul God created IS part of you, and shares His glory	T 9 E 3 (231)
creation whenever you recognize PART of creation. Each part you remember	T 9 E 4 (231)
but you cannot learn of your wholeness until you see	T 9 E 4 (232)
their gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them	T 9 E 5 (232)
because miracles are a way of GIVING acceptance AND receiving it	T 9 E 6 (232)
creations, in perfect communication born of perfect understanding. Could you but	T 9 E 7 (232)
Could you but accept one of them, you would not want	T 9 E 7 (232)
not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God wills	T 9 F 1 (233)
is not ALSO the will of your brothers? T 9	T 9 F 1 (233)
because the ego is AFRAID of the obvious, since obviousness is	T 9 F 2 (233)
obviousness is the essential characteristic of reality. Yet YOU cannot overlook	T 9 F 2 (233)
love on YOU. His evaluation of you is based on His	T 9 F 3 (233)
is based on His knowledge of what you are, and so	T 9 F 3 (233)
ACCEPTED it there. ITS evaluation of you, however, is the exact	T 9 F 3 (233)
however, is the exact opposite of the Holy Spirits because	T 9 F 3 (233)
love you. It is unaware of what you are, and wholly	T 9 F 3 (233)
you are, and wholly mistrustful of EVERYTHING it perceives because its	T 9 F 3 (233)
The ego is therefore capable of suspiciousness at best and viciousness	T 9 F 3 (233)
It cannot exceed it because of its uncertainty. And it can	T 9 F 3 (233)
then, have two CONFLICTING evaluations of yourself in your minds, and	T 9 F 4 (233)
the Holy Spirits perception of you really is. He is	T 9 F 4 (233)
as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of	T 9 F 5 (234)
of accord with its perception of you. This is when it	T 9 F 5 (234)
with the egos evaluation of what you are? If you	T 9 F 5 (234)
you escape from a sense of inadequacy it has PRODUCED, and	T 9 F 5 (234)
you ESCAPE from its evaluation of you by using its methods	T 9 F 5 (234)
as insane. With the grandeur of God in you, you have	T 9 F 6 (234)
a real question is. Lack of knowledge of any kind is	T 9 F 7 (234)
question is. Lack of knowledge of any kind is always associated	T 9 F 7 (234)
and produces a total lack of knowledge simply because knowledge IS	T 9 F 7 (234)
intact. You cannot retain PART of a thought system because it	T 9 F 7 (234)
Spirit judges against the reality of the egos thought system	T 9 F 7 (235)
belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. If	T 9 F 7 (235)
so lofty that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you	T 9 F 7 (235)
unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you	T 9 F 7 (235)
anything else. Return your part of Him, and He will give	T 9 F 7 (235)
He will give you all of Himself in exchange for your	T 9 F 7 (235)
in exchange for your return of what belongs to Him and	T 9 F 7 (235)
G 1 Grandeur is of God, and ONLY of Him	T 9 G 1 (235)
is of God, and ONLY of Him. Therefore, it is in	T 9 G 1 (235)
you. Whenever you become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon	T 9 G 1 (235)
automatically because, in the presence of the grandeur of God, the	T 9 G 1 (235)
the presence of the grandeur of God, the meaninglessness of the	T 9 G 1 (235)
grandeur of God, the meaninglessness of the ego becomes perfectly apparent	T 9 G 1 (235)
return to its protection. SELF-inflation of the ego is its alternative	T 9 G 1 (235)
its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which will you choose	T 9 G 1 (235)
possibly want it. The essence of grandiosity is competitiveness, because it	T 9 G 2 (235)
as long as you despair of yourself. It shifts to viciousness	T 9 G 2 (235)
it offers you the illusion of attack as a solution.	T 9 G 2 (235)
miracle impulses and ego-alien beliefs of its own. We once said	T 9 G 3 (236)
that the ego IS aware of threat, but does not make	T 9 G 3 (236)
between two entirely different kinds of threat to its existence. Its	T 9 G 3 (236)
existence. Its own profound sense of vulnerability renders it incapable of	T 9 G 3 (236)
of vulnerability renders it incapable of judgment EXCEPT in terms of	T 9 G 3 (236)
of judgment EXCEPT in terms of attack. When it experiences threat	T 9 G 3 (236)
If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately	T 9 G 3 (236)
is immobilized in the presence of Gods grandeur because HIS	T 9 G 4 (236)
freedom. Even the faintest hint of your reality literally drives the	T 9 G 4 (236)
ego from your mind because of complete lack of investment in	T 9 G 4 (236)
mind because of complete lack of investment in it. Grandeur is	T 9 G 4 (236)
compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of reality will not remain with	T 9 G 4 (236)
CANNOT be a real part of you because of the littleness	T 9 G 4 (236)
real part of you because of the littleness in which IT	T 9 G 4 (236)
made grandiosity and are afraid of it because it is a	T 9 G 5 (236)
because it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is	T 9 G 5 (236)
attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it out	T 9 G 5 (236)
God, Who created it out of His Love. From your grandeur	T 9 G 5 (236)
keeping yourself in the Mind of God. Remember always that you	T 9 G 5 (236)
anywhere EXCEPT in the Mind of God. When you forget this	T 9 G 5 (236)
same level. Being the level of shift it is experienced as	T 9 G 6 (237)
Truth and littleness are DENIALS of each other because grandeur IS	T 9 G 7 (237)
and therefore will deprive you of your true witnesses to your	T 9 G 8 (237)
witnesses? What good can come of it? And if no good	T 9 G 9 (237)
if no good can come of it, the Holy Spirit cannot	T 9 G 9 (237)
cannot transform to the Will of God does not exist at	T 9 G 9 (237)
altogether irreplaceable in the Mind of God. No one else can	T 9 G 10 (237)
else can fill your part of It, and while you leave	T 9 G 10 (237)
while you leave your part of It empty, your eternal place	T 9 G 10 (237)
through His Voice, reminds you of It, and God Himself keeps	T 9 G 10 (237)
because it is the DENIAL of arrogance. To accept your littleness	T 9 G 10 (238)
that you believe YOUR evaluation of yourself is TRUER than God	T 9 G 10 (238)
truth is indivisible your evaluation of yourself must BE Gods	T 9 G 11 (238)
but do not be afraid of His answer, for it comes	T 9 G 11 (238)
IS an exalted answer because of its Source, but the Source	T 9 G 11 (238)
exalted answer to the question of your being, so that you	T 9 G 11 (238)
H. The Inclusiveness of Creation T	T 9 H 0 (239)
exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him CAN	T 9 H 2 (239)
your will determines your perception of it. T 9 H	T 9 H 2 (239)
for He is not uncertain of HIMSELF. And what He knows	T 9 H 3 (239)
Can anything exceed the Love of God? Can anything, then, exceed	T 9 H 3 (239)
When anything threatens your peace of mind, ask yourself: Has God	T 9 H 3 (239)
IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD. The law of creation is that you love	T 9 H 4 (240)
yourself because they ARE part of you. Everything that was created	T 9 H 4 (240)
perfectly safe because the laws of God protect it by His	T 9 H 4 (240)
by His Love. Any part of your mind that does not	T 9 H 4 (240)
that your banishment is NOT of God, and therefore does not	T 9 H 5 (240)
at home in God, dreaming of exile, but perfectly capable of	T 9 H 5 (240)
of exile, but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it	T 9 H 5 (240)
even though all the laws of what you awakened TO were	T 9 H 5 (240)
your knowledge by an awareness of dreams because you are AFRAID	T 9 I 1 (241)
dreams because you are AFRAID of your dissociation, NOT of what	T 9 I 1 (241)
AFRAID of your dissociation, NOT of what you have dissociated. Even	T 9 I 1 (241)
be fearful, for the laws of mind always hold. T	T 9 I 1 (241)
to give up the dissociation of REALITY brings more than merely	T 9 I 2 (241)
brings more than merely lack of fear. In THIS decision lie	T 9 I 2 (241)
and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit	T 9 I 2 (241)
for He retains the knowledge of God and of yourself FOR	T 9 I 2 (241)
the knowledge of God and of yourself FOR you, waiting for	T 9 I 2 (241)
would stand in the way of your remembering, for God is	T 9 I 2 (241)
you that you are part of Him when you are willing	T 9 I 2 (241)
this world delay your remembering of Him, for in this remembering	T 9 I 2 (241)
this remembering is the knowledge of YOURSELF. T 9 I	T 9 I 2 (241)
world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God	T 9 I 3 (241)
for yours is the exchange of knowledge FOR perception. NOTHING is	T 9 I 3 (241)
what you are. Your denial of reality precludes the ACCEPTANCE of	T 9 I 4 (241)
of reality precludes the ACCEPTANCE of Gods gift because you	T 9 I 4 (241)
you understand that the misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack	T 9 I 4 (241)
recognize that you are PART of God, you will	T 9 I 4 (241)
the complete havoc this makes of your peace of mind, you	T 9 I 6 (242)
this makes of your peace of mind, you could not make	T 9 I 6 (242)
want something OTHER than peace of mind, but you have not	T 9 I 6 (242)
be. Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly clear	T 9 I 6 (242)
their worshippers are the Sons of God in sickness. T	T 9 I 7 (242)
you. Do not be afraid of it because it is your	T 9 I 8 (242)
be for the sick Children of God except His power through	T 9 I 8 (242)
mind receives Him the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the Sonship	T 9 I 8 (242)
to Him. To be aware of this is to heal them	T 9 I 9 (242)
To believe that a Son of God CAN be sick is	T 9 I 9 (242)
is to believe that part of God can suffer. Love CANNOT	T 9 I 9 (242)
T(243) of love therefore brings invulnerability with	T 9 I 9 (243)
with sickness in the presence of a Son of God even	T 9 I 10 (243)
the presence of a Son of God even if HE believes	T 9 I 10 (243)
in it, for YOUR acceptance of God in him ACKNOWLEDGES the	T 9 I 10 (243)
in him ACKNOWLEDGES the Love of God which he has forgotten	T 9 I 10 (243)
he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as PART of God	T 9 I 10 (243)
recognition of him as PART of God teaches him the truth	T 9 I 10 (243)
Would you STRENGTHEN his denial of God, and thus lose sight	T 9 I 10 (243)
God, and thus lose sight of YOURSELF? Or would you remind	T 9 I 10 (243)
Or would you remind him of his wholeness, and remember your	T 9 I 10 (243)
him? To believe a Son of God is sick is to	T 9 I 10 (243)
love, NOT idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of creation	T 9 I 10 (243)
forms of idolatry are caricatures of creation, taught by sick minds	T 9 I 10 (243)
impossible because you are part of God, Who IS all power	T 9 I 10 (243)
idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks HE	T 9 I 11 (243)
DOES perceive in a Son of God; a sick god, self-created	T 9 I 11 (243)
SAVE? Are you REALLY afraid of losing THIS? Look calmly at	T 9 I 11 (243)
calmly at the logical conclusion of the egos thought system	T 9 I 11 (243)
willing to attack the Divinity of your brothers, and thus lose	T 9 I 11 (243)
brothers, and thus lose sight of YOURS. And you are willing	T 9 I 11 (243)
Soul which God created because of the calm knowledge that each	T 9 I 12 (243)
that each one is part of Him. Gods Son knows	T 9 I 12 (243)
this world is the counterpart of value in Heaven. It is	T 9 I 12 (243)
become sick, but MY value of you can heal you because	T 9 I 12 (243)
heal you because the value of Gods Son is one	T 9 I 12 (243)
he HAS it. The ACCEPTANCE of peace is the denial of	T 9 I 13 (244)
of peace is the denial of illusion, and sickness IS an	T 9 I 13 (244)
an illusion. Yet every Son of God has the power to	T 9 I 13 (244)
idolatrous, and does not know of conflicting laws. I will heal	T 9 I 13 (244)
hear. God is not jealous of the gods you make, but	T 9 I 14 (244)
may BELIEVE you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really	T 9 I 15 (244)
but you are really afraid of NOTHING. And in THAT awareness	T 9 I 15 (244)
to. You MADE the god of sickness, and BY making him	T 9 I 15 (244)
he is NOT the Will of the Father. He is therefore	T 9 I 15 (244)
chosen to fear love BECAUSE of its perfect harmlessness, and because	T 9 I 16 (245)
its perfect harmlessness, and because of this fear, you have been	T 9 I 16 (245)
Only at the altar of God will you find peace	T 9 I 17 (245)
can give up the god of sickness for your brothers; in	T 9 I 17 (245)
ALL magic is a form of reconciling the irreconcilable. All religion	T 9 J 1 (245)
at war with the god of sickness you made, but YOU	T 9 J 1 (245)
are. He is the symbol of willing AGAINST God, and you	T 9 J 1 (245)
God, and you are afraid of him BECAUSE he cannot be	T 9 J 1 (245)
disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made.	T 9 J 1 (245)
This is the RIGHT use of selective perception. To overlook nothingness	T 9 J 2 (245)
judge it correctly, and because of your ability to evaluate it	T 9 J 2 (245)
dawn on a mind full of illusions, because truth	T 9 J 2 (245)
CANNOT be known by part of a mind. T 9	T 9 J 2 (246)
that you have removed part of your mind from Gods	T 9 J 3 (246)
this means it is out of control. To be out of	T 9 J 3 (246)
of control. To be out of control is to be out	T 9 J 3 (246)
control is to be out of REASON, and the mind DOES	T 9 J 3 (246)
This is merely a matter of definition. By DEFINING the mind	T 9 J 3 (246)
it. His are the laws of freedom, but yours are the	T 9 J 4 (246)
but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and bondage	T 9 J 4 (246)
BE understood together. The laws of God work only for your	T 9 J 4 (246)
them does not exist. Laws of chaos are meaningless by definition	T 9 J 4 (246)
with chaos and accepting it of them. All this has never	T 9 J 5 (246)
been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and	T 9 J 5 (246)
His Will, and the manner of your creation established you AS	T 9 J 5 (246)
have made is so unworthy of you that you could hardly	T 9 J 5 (246)
you have experienced the protection of God the making of idols	T 9 J 6 (247)
protection of God the making of idols becomes inconceivable. There are	T 9 J 6 (247)
strange images in the Mind of God, and what is not	T 9 J 6 (247)
in yours because you are of ONE Mind, and that Mind	T 9 J 6 (247)
The miracle is the act of a Son of God who	T 9 J 7 (247)
the act of a Son of God who has laid aside	T 9 J 7 (247)
likewise. It is an act of faith because it is the	T 9 J 7 (247)
does NOT share. The power of one mind CAN shine into	T 9 J 7 (247)
another because all the lamps of God were lit by the	T 9 J 7 (247)
little spark you will learn of the greater light, for the	T 9 J 8 (247)
it is the remaining call of creation. Put all your faith	T 9 J 8 (247)
K. The Denial of God T	T 9 K 0 (248)
K 1 The rituals of the god of sickness are	T 9 K 1 (248)
The rituals of the god of sickness are strange and very	T 9 K 1 (248)
for depression is the sign of allegiance to him. Depression means	T 9 K 1 (248)
forsworn God. Men are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not	T 9 K 1 (248)
in this sense the wages of sin IS death. The sense	T 9 K 1 (248)
sense is very literal; denial of Life perceives its opposite, as	T 9 K 1 (248)
its opposite, as ALL forms of denial replace what IS with	T 9 K 1 (248)
Do not attribute your denial of joy to them, or you	T 9 K 2 (248)
YOU. It is the DENIAL of the spark that brings depression	T 9 K 2 (248)
Allegiance to the denial of God is the egos	T 9 K 3 (248)
egos religion. The god of sickness obviously demands the denial	T 9 K 3 (248)
sickness obviously demands the denial of health because health is in	T 9 K 3 (248)
because, having made him out of YOUR insanity, he is an	T 9 K 3 (248)
one idea; - the denial of God. T 9 K	T 9 K 3 (248)
and death entered the mind of Gods Son AGAINST His	T 9 K 4 (248)
he was fatherless, and out of his depression he made the	T 9 K 4 (248)
depression he made the god of depression. This was his alternative	T 9 K 4 (248)
Help. We said before that of yourselves you can do nothing	T 9 K 4 (248)
T(249) OF yourselves. If you were, what	T 9 K 4 (249)
9 K 6 Son of God, you have not sinned	T 9 K 6 (249)
not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore means that you	T 9 K 6 (249)
to you from every part of the Sonship because of His	T 9 K 7 (249)
part of the Sonship because of His Love for His Son	T 9 K 7 (249)
you, and you will learn of Him if you hear aright	T 9 K 7 (249)
you hear aright. The Love of God is in everything He	T 9 K 7 (249)
not look to the god of sickness for healing but only	T 9 K 8 (249)
but only to the God of love, for healing is the	T 9 K 8 (249)
for healing is the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Him. When you acknowledge Him	T 9 K 8 (249)
and that in His acknowledgment of you lies your Being. You	T 9 K 8 (249)
does not die. What is of God is His forever, and	T 9 K 8 (249)
His forever, and you ARE of God. Would He allow Himself	T 9 K 8 (249)
you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this	T 9 K 9 (250)
is merely because your acknowledgment of your Father IS the acknowledgment	T 9 K 9 (250)
your Father IS the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your	T 9 K 9 (250)
pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny	T 9 K 9 (250)
into your OWN mind because of the power He gave it	T 9 K 9 (250)
it. Your mind is capable of creating worlds, but it can	T 9 K 9 (250)
Him. That was the condition of His Sons creation, fixed	T 9 K 10 (250)
fixed forever in the Mind of God. To know that is	T 9 K 10 (250)
9 K 11 Out of your gifts to Him the	T 9 K 11 (250)
had created in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for	T 9 K 11 (250)
created as the dwelling place of Gods Son. You are	T 9 K 11 (250)
blasphemous to feel depressed. All of these illusions, and the many	T 9 K 12 (250)
to see him to learn of his reality. And as PART	T 9 K 12 (251)
his reality. And as PART of the Sonship, that is how	T 9 K 12 (251)
must see YOURSELF to learn of YOURS. T 9 K	T 9 K 12 (251)
you perceive ARE the Sons of God. T 9 K	T 9 K 13 (251)
if you accept the Fatherhood of God will you have ANYTHING	T 9 K 14 (251)
yourself. Arrogance is the denial of love because love SHARES and	T 9 K 14 (251)
to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is NOT of	T 9 K 14 (251)
of choice, which is NOT of God, will remain with you	T 9 K 14 (251)
problem remains the only source of perceived conflict, because the ego	T 10 A 2 (252)
the ego was made out of the wish of Gods	T 10 A 2 (252)
made out of the wish of Gods Son to father	T 10 A 2 (252)
hidden in the dark cornerstone of its thought system. And either	T 10 A 2 (252)
created by extension. The cornerstone of Gods creation is YOU	T 10 B 1 (252)
more you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer	T 10 B 1 (252)
you come to the foundation of the egos thought system	T 10 B 1 (252)
it up to the foundation of the egos thought system	T 10 B 1 (252)
honesty. Open the dark cornerstone of terror on which it rests	T 10 B 1 (252)
on meaninglessness, and that everything of which you have been afraid	T 10 B 1 (252)
My brother, you are part of God and part of me	T 10 B 2 (252)
part of God and part of me. When you have at	T 10 B 2 (252)
true Father, Who hath need of you, as I have. Will	T 10 B 2 (253)
you not answer the call of love with joy? T	T 10 B 2 (253)
You have learned your need of healing. Would you bring anything	T 10 B 3 (253)
the Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? For in	T 10 B 3 (253)
in this lies the beginning of knowledge; the foundation on which	T 10 B 3 (253)
restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills	T 10 B 3 (253)
he IS. In whatever part of the mind of Gods	T 10 B 3 (253)
whatever part of the mind of Gods Son you restore	T 10 B 3 (253)
you dwell in the Mind of God WITH your brother, for	T 10 B 3 (253)
YOU, for you are part of US. Do you really believe	T 10 B 4 (253)
you really believe that part of God can be missing or	T 10 B 4 (253)
If you were not part of God, His Will would not	T 10 B 5 (253)
Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind contain nothing? If	T 10 B 5 (253)
it is denied. Your denial of its reality arrests it in	T 10 B 5 (253)
having DENIED infinity? The laws of the universe do not permit	T 10 B 6 (254)
yours were created in honor of Him. The universe of love	T 10 B 7 (254)
honor of Him. The universe of love does not stop because	T 10 B 7 (254)
see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will	T 10 B 7 (254)
He creates has the function of creating. Love does not limit	T 10 B 8 (254)
9 Could any part of God be WITHOUT His Love	T 10 B 9 (254)
Love, and could any part of His Love be contained? God	T 10 B 9 (254)
His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must be	T 10 B 9 (255)
B 11 The projection of the ego makes it appear	T 10 B 11 (255)
then, may SEEM to demand of you what you do not	T 10 B 11 (255)
give, and thus deprive you of what you want. Would God	T 10 B 11 (255)
ONLY your will, be capable of this? Your will is His	T 10 B 11 (255)
your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here	T 10 B 12 (255)
that to hear the Will of your Father is to know	T 10 B 13 (256)
why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will	T 10 B 13 (256)
brings it closer. The Son of God HAS both Father and	T 10 C 1 (256)
because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you KNOW there is	T 10 C 1 (256)
when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your	T 10 C 1 (256)
you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every	T 10 C 2 (256)
to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing thought which	T 10 C 2 (256)
perceive it, lies the denial of Gods Fatherhood and your	T 10 C 2 (256)
love. You cannot deny part of yourself, because the remainder will	T 10 C 3 (256)
OWN ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, Whose message	T 10 C 4 (257)
whole. What can the Son of God NOT accomplish with the	T 10 C 4 (257)
NOT accomplish with the Fatherhood of God in him? And yet	T 10 C 4 (257)
He cannot leave a part of God. Yet you need far	T 10 C 5 (257)
depends on welcoming REALITY, and of your guests only He is	T 10 C 7 (258)
imaginary comforters, for the Comforter of God is in you.	T 10 C 7 (258)
His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no	T 10 D 1 (259)
Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind	T 10 D 1 (259)
it ALWAYS attacks the Son of God, and the Son of	T 10 D 1 (259)
of God, and the Son of God is YOU. T	T 10 D 1 (259)
Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not	T 10 D 2 (259)
His, it cannot be true of you BECAUSE it is not	T 10 D 2 (259)
BECAUSE it is not true of Him. Oh, my children, if	T 10 D 2 (259)
will KNOW it is not of you. Out of your joy	T 10 D 3 (259)
is not of you. Out of your joy you will create	T 10 D 3 (259)
and earth into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you	T 10 D 3 (259)
different. Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows	T 10 D 4 (259)
is the way of pain, of which God knows nothing. THAT	T 10 D 4 (259)
journey is not the way of Gods Son. Walk in	T 10 D 4 (259)
fit companions for the Son of God, who was created OF	T 10 D 4 (259)
of God, who was created OF Light and IN Light. The	T 10 D 4 (259)
hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory	T 10 D 5 (260)
spark in you is part of a Light so great that	T 10 D 5 (260)
It can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For your	T 10 D 5 (260)
D 6 The Children of Light cannot abide in darkness	T 10 D 6 (260)
let them enter the mind of Gods Son, for they	T 10 D 6 (260)
comfort you. In the quiet of His temple, He waits to	T 10 D 7 (260)
be holy in the Presence of God, or you will not	T 10 D 7 (260)
are whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded	T 10 D 8 (260)
he would know the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind	T 10 D 8 (260)
you use it on BEHALF of the eternal.	T 10 D 8 (261)
E. The Inheritance of Gods Son	T 10 E 0 (262)
Yet if you hate part of your own Soul ALL your	T 10 E 1 (262)
what He created is part of Him, you are denying Him	T 10 E 1 (262)
your protection, for the power of your will cannot be lessened	T 10 E 2 (262)
be lessened without the intervention of God AGAINST it, and any	T 10 E 2 (262)
power is not the Will of God. Therefore, look ONLY to	T 10 E 2 (262)
E 3 The peace of your Soul lies in its	T 10 E 3 (262)
altar to God is part of your Soul because the Light	T 10 E 3 (262)
return. That is the law of God, for the protection of	T 10 E 3 (262)
of God, for the protection of the wholeness of His Son	T 10 E 3 (262)
the protection of the wholeness of His Son. T 10	T 10 E 3 (262)
ONLY YOU CAN DEPRIVE YOURSELF OF ANYTHING. Do not oppose this	T 10 E 4 (262)
it is truly the beginning of the dawn of light. Remember	T 10 E 4 (262)
the beginning of the dawn of light. Remember also that the	T 10 E 4 (262)
Remember also that the denial of this simple fact takes many	T 10 E 4 (262)
re- awakening. The beginning phases of this reversal are often quite	T 10 E 4 (262)
If your brothers are part of you and you blame THEM	T 10 E 5 (263)
lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he WILL hear	T 10 E 5 (263)
he WILL hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator	T 10 E 5 (263)
love yourself with the Love of Christ, for so does your	T 10 E 6 (263)
Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in YOU. God knows	T 10 E 7 (263)
is approached through the appreciation of His Son. Christ waits for	T 10 E 7 (263)
Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as YOURSELF, and of	T 10 E 7 (263)
of Him as YOURSELF, and of His Wholeness as YOURS. For	T 10 E 7 (263)
For Christ is the Son of God Who lives in His	T 10 E 7 (263)
glory. Christ is the extension of the Love and the Loveliness	T 10 E 7 (263)
the Love and the Loveliness of God, as perfect as his	T 10 E 7 (263)
Blessed is the Son of God, whose radiance is of	T 10 E 8 (263)
of God, whose radiance is of his Father, and whose glory	T 10 E 8 (263)
Father. Sharing the perfect Love of the Father the Son must	T 10 E 8 (264)
F. The Dynamics of the Ego	T 10 F 0 (265)
honestly for truth. The dynamics of the ego will be our	T 10 F 1 (265)
is healing but the removal of all that STANDS IN THE	T 10 F 2 (265)
that STANDS IN THE WAY of knowledge? And how else can	T 10 F 2 (265)
looking at IS the source of fear, but you have surely	T 10 F 2 (265)
very simple; ALL POWER IS OF GOD. What is NOT of	T 10 F 3 (265)
OF GOD. What is NOT of Him has no power to	T 10 F 3 (265)
sufficient unto itself, and independent of any power EXCEPT its own	T 10 F 4 (266)
WHY it is the symbol of separation. T 10 F	T 10 F 4 (266)
is always the natural extension of what it IS. Everything that	T 10 F 5 (266)
ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the	T 10 F 5 (266)
is not natural, being out of accord with your TRUE nature	T 10 F 5 (266)
is One because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike	T 10 F 5 (266)
idle wishes and the Will of God, Which you share. Can	T 10 F 5 (266)
Yours is the independence of creation, NOT of autonomy. Your	T 10 F 6 (266)
the independence of creation, NOT of autonomy. Your whole creative function	T 10 F 6 (266)
wills not to be independent of YOU. He has INCLUDED you	T 10 F 6 (266)
is costing you the knowledge of your dependence on God IN	T 10 F 6 (266)
for God into a means of establishing ITSELF. But do not	T 10 F 6 (266)
be deceived by ITS interpretation of your conflict. T 10	T 10 F 6 (266)
ego ALWAYS attacks on behalf of separation. Believing it has the	T 10 F 7 (266)
nothing else, because its goal of autonomy IS nothing else. The	T 10 F 7 (266)
it does NOT lose sight of its goal. It is much	T 10 F 7 (266)
because it is perfectly certain of its purpose. YOU are confused	T 10 F 7 (266)
is that YOU ARE AFRAID OF IT. For if the ego	T 10 F 8 (266)
belittling yourself and DEPRIVING yourself of power? T 10 F	T 10 F 8 (267)
God is ONLY fear, regardless of the form it takes and	T 10 F 10 (267)
basic ego threat. Its dream of autonomy is shaken to its	T 10 F 10 (267)
may countenance a false idea of independence, you will NOT accept	T 10 F 10 (267)
will NOT accept the cost of fear IF YOU RECOGNIZE IT	T 10 F 10 (267)
then, you have become afraid of YOURSELF. And no one wills	T 10 F 10 (267)
If the egos goal of autonomy could be accomplished God	T 10 F 11 (267)
Gods purpose is (capable of?) accomplishment, and it is ALREADY	T 10 F 11 (267)
would choose fear IN PLACE of love, and only the insane	T 10 F 13 (268)
FEAR, from which the Love of God completely protects them.	T 10 F 13 (268)
Holy Spirit ACCEPTS. The appreciation of wholeness comes ONLY through acceptance	T 10 F 14 (268)
clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything. Never	T 10 F 14 (268)
The egos interpretations of the laws of perception are	T 10 F 15 (268)
s interpretations of the laws of perception are, and would HAVE	T 10 F 15 (268)
to be, the exact opposite of the Holy Spirits. The	T 10 F 15 (268)
circular reasoning concludes that BECAUSE of the mistake, consistent truth must	T 10 F 15 (268)
is left with a series of fragmented perceptions which it unifies	T 10 F 16 (269)
which it unifies on behalf of ITSELF. This, then, becomes the	T 10 F 16 (269)
in turn, becomes its demonstration of its own reality. T	T 10 F 16 (269)
Do not underestimate the appeal of the egos demonstrations to	T 10 F 17 (269)
is true. What you see of His Son through the eyes	T 10 F 18 (269)
His Son through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration	T 10 F 18 (269)
Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing	T 10 F 18 (269)
for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His Father	T 10 F 18 (269)
to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent	T 10 F 18 (269)
in him. Everyone convinces you of what you WANT to perceive	T 10 F 19 (270)
you WANT to perceive, and of the reality of the kingdom	T 10 F 19 (270)
perceive, and of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen	T 10 F 19 (270)
You cannot accept false witness of HIM unless you have invoked	T 10 F 19 (270)
him. If HE speaks not of Christ to you, YOU spoke	T 10 F 19 (270)
to you, YOU spoke not of Christ to him. You hear	T 10 F 19 (270)
built up on the basis of experience, and experience leads to	T 10 G 1 (271)
resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over the ego, not	T 10 G 1 (271)
awareness and for the INTERPRETATION of awareness. Yet you cannot BE	T 10 G 2 (271)
you to a new kind of experience which you will become	T 10 G 3 (271)
less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for to	T 10 G 3 (271)
little beliefs which are unworthy of Gods Son. For until	T 10 G 3 (271)
into His Own, the Son of God WILL see himself as	T 10 G 3 (271)
the resurrection is the Will of God, Which knows no time	T 10 G 4 (272)
for such is the nature of Gods Son as His	T 10 G 4 (272)
Do not underestimate the power of the devotion of Gods	T 10 G 5 (272)
the power of the devotion of Gods Son, nor the	T 10 G 5 (272)
s Son, nor the power of the god he worships over	T 10 G 5 (272)
places HIMSELF at the altar of his god, whether it be	T 10 G 5 (272)
god he accepts. The god of the crucifixion demands that he	T 10 G 5 (272)
THEMSELVES, believing that the power of the Son of God is	T 10 G 5 (272)
the power of the Son of God is born of sacrifice	T 10 G 5 (272)
Son of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God	T 10 G 5 (272)
sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection demands NOTHING, for	T 10 G 5 (272)
it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in	T 10 G 5 (272)
submission, but in the gladness of freedom. T 10 G	T 10 G 5 (272)
because it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power	T 10 G 6 (272)
offered you through the grace of God. And you can ACCEPT	T 10 G 6 (272)
the nails from the hands of Gods Son and taken	T 10 G 7 (272)
from his forehead. The Love of God surrounds His Son whom	T 10 G 7 (272)
His Son whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not	T 10 G 7 (272)
IN YOU. For the UNDOING of the crucifixion of Gods	T 10 G 7 (272)
the UNDOING of the crucifixion of Gods Son is the	T 10 G 7 (272)
T(273) of the redemption, in which everyone	T 10 G 7 (273)
which everyone has a part of equal value. God does not	T 10 G 7 (273)
cross and placed a crown of thorns upon your OWN head	T 10 G 8 (273)
s Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His Son	T 10 G 8 (273)
given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still lies heavy on	T 10 G 8 (273)
While you perceive the Son of God as crucified you are	T 10 G 8 (273)
to wake are still aware of dreams and have not yet	T 10 G 8 (273)
yet forgotten them. The forgetting of dreams and the awareness of	T 10 G 8 (273)
of dreams and the awareness of Christ comes with the awakening	T 10 G 8 (273)
Christ comes with the awakening of others to SHARE your redemption	T 10 G 8 (273)
mine if you learn it of me. If you believe that	T 10 G 10 (273)
MINE. There is no order of difficulty in miracles because all	T 10 G 10 (273)
difficulty in miracles because all of Gods Sons are of	T 10 G 10 (273)
of Gods Sons are of equal value, and their equality	T 10 G 10 (273)
their Oneness. The whole power of God is in every part	T 10 G 10 (273)
God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to	T 10 G 10 (273)
NOT see. The Bible speaks of a NEW Heaven and a	T 10 H 1 (274)
loving thought that the Son of God ever had is eternal	T 10 H 2 (274)
you made to be capable of BEING unlike Him. Yet everything	T 10 H 3 (274)
it will make you capable of UNDERSTANDING it. T 10	T 10 H 3 (274)
H 4 The perception of goodness is not knowledge, but	T 10 H 4 (274)
not knowledge, but the denial of the OPPOSITE of goodness enables	T 10 H 4 (274)
the denial of the OPPOSITE of goodness enables you to perceive	T 10 H 4 (274)
And this IS the condition of knowledge. WITHOUT this awareness you	T 10 H 4 (274)
has saved for you out of what you have made, and	T 10 H 5 (275)
from your sight. The end of the world is not its	T 10 H 6 (275)
TRANSLATION into Heaven. The re-interpretation of the world is the transfer	T 10 H 6 (275)
the world is the transfer of ALL perception to knowledge. The	T 10 H 6 (275)
Do not make the mistake of believing that YOU understand what	T 10 H 6 (275)
no need to ask it of Him. T 10 H	T 10 H 6 (275)
do not know the meaning of ANYTHING you perceive. NOT ONE	T 10 H 7 (275)
IS WHOLLY TRUE. The recognition of this is your firm beginning	T 10 H 7 (275)
Yet your willingness to learn of Him depends on your willingness	T 10 H 7 (276)
question EVERYTHING you have learned of yourself, for you who have	T 10 H 7 (276)
a course in the play of ideas, but in their PRACTICAL	T 10 H 9 (276)
Realize that you are AFRAID of His specificity, for fear of	T 10 H 9 (276)
of His specificity, for fear of what you think it will	T 10 H 9 (276)
you think it will DEMAND of you. Yet only by asking	T 10 H 9 (276)
learn that nothing that is of God demands ANYTHING of you	T 10 H 9 (276)
is of God demands ANYTHING of you. God GIVES; He does	T 10 H 9 (276)
only to RESTORE, be capable of misinterpreting the question you must	T 10 H 10 (276)
that to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to	T 10 H 11 (276)
ask for DEPRIVATION. Little children of God, you do not understand	T 10 H 11 (276)
perception you have lost sight of the real world. You are	T 10 H 11 (277)
real world. You are afraid of the world as YOU see	T 10 H 11 (277)
can ONLY free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son	T 10 H 11 (277)
who will ask the truth of God without fear, for only	T 10 H 12 (277)
release from fear. Beautiful Child of God, you are asking only	T 10 H 12 (277)
would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven IS within you. Believe	T 10 H 12 (277)
not share. Ask for truth of any Son of God, and	T 10 H 12 (277)
for truth of any Son of God, and you have asked	T 10 H 12 (277)
and you have asked it of me. No one of us	T 10 H 12 (277)
it of me. No one of us but has the answer	T 10 H 12 (277)
to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God	T 10 H 12 (277)
it of him. Ask anything of Gods Son and His	T 10 H 12 (277)
yours. Christ is the Son of God Who is in no	T 10 H 13 (277)
as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He	T 10 H 13 (277)
WITHOUT your help the Help of God goes with YOU everywhere	T 10 H 14 (277)
not disappear in the presence of Gods Answer? Ask, then	T 10 H 14 (277)
Answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother	T 10 H 14 (277)
to learn of the reality of your brother because this is	T 10 H 14 (277)
your brothers variable perception of himself, for his split mind	T 10 H 15 (278)
and you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve	T 10 H 15 (278)
Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will	T 10 H 15 (278)
Father, and you will learn of the Fathers Love for	T 10 H 15 (278)
Holy Spirit remove ALL offense of Gods Son against himself	T 10 H 16 (278)
wills to heal the Son of God in whom He is	T 10 H 16 (278)
trust for the REAL meaning of what they perceive, and are	T 10 H 17 (278)
their interpretations go in FAVOR of reality, their fear goes with	T 10 H 17 (278)
You, my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your	T 10 H 17 (278)
afraid of your brothers and of your Father and of YOURSELVES	T 10 H 17 (278)
and of your Father and of YOURSELVES. But you are merely	T 10 H 17 (278)
Ask what they ARE of the Teacher of Reality, and	T 10 H 18 (278)
they ARE of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer	T 10 H 18 (278)
reality, but in the minds of children who do not understand	T 10 H 18 (278)
It is only their LACK of understanding which frightens them, and	T 10 H 18 (278)
are not afraid. And because of this they will	T 10 H 18 (278)
It is not the REALITY of your brothers or your Father	T 10 H 18 (279)
and monsters and dragons. ASK of their reality from the One	T 10 H 18 (279)
you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit	T 10 H 19 (279)
learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, Who will	T 10 H 19 (279)
teach you that, as part of God, deceit in YOU is	T 10 H 19 (279)
the real world in place of the false one you have	T 10 H 19 (279)
is why analyzing the motives of others is hazardous to YOU	T 11 A 1 (280)
A 2 The analysis of ego-motivation is very complicated, very	T 11 A 2 (280)
and NEVER without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The whole	T 11 A 2 (280)
you have attacked the integrity of your mind, and pitted one	T 11 A 2 (280)
another. B. The Judgment of the Holy Spirit	T 11 B 0 (280)
There is but one interpretation of all motivation that makes any	T 11 B 1 (280)
is what it is, regardless of the form it takes. Can	T 11 B 1 (280)
2 Perhaps the danger of this to your own mind	T 11 B 2 (280)
but NOT to your perception of it. This is poor reality	T 11 B 2 (281)
which you DENY the reality of the need for healing by	T 11 B 2 (281)
TO RECEIVE IT. The analysis of the egos real motivation	T 11 B 3 (281)
motivation is the modern equivalent of the inquisition, for in both	T 11 B 3 (281)
errors lay in the minds of his interpreters, for which they	T 11 B 3 (281)
help, for both are capable of bringing love into YOUR awareness	T 11 B 4 (281)
truly. And ALL your sense of strain comes from your attempts	T 11 B 4 (281)
There is but ONE Teacher of reality, Who understands what it	T 11 B 4 (281)
not change. Although YOUR interpretations of reality are meaningless in your	T 11 B 4 (282)
his call for the help of God, and you will recognize	T 11 B 4 (282)
B 5 Your interpretations of your brothers need is	T 11 B 5 (282)
s need is your interpretation of YOURS. By GIVING help you	T 11 B 5 (282)
you answer in the Name of Christ brings the remembrance of	T 11 B 5 (282)
of Christ brings the remembrance of your Father closer to YOUR	T 11 B 5 (282)
YOUR awareness. For the sake of YOUR need, then, hear every	T 11 B 5 (282)
the Holy Spirits interpretation of the reactions of others more	T 11 B 6 (282)

crucial step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how well	T 11 B 6 (282)
the Holy Spirits interpretation of the motives of others will	T 11 B 6 (282)
s interpretation of the motives of others will serve you then	T 11 B 6 (282)
that it IS, the unreality of fear MUST dawn upon you	T 11 B 7 (282)
for love, in unconscious recognition of what has been denied.	T 11 B 7 (282)
C. The Mechanism of Miracles T	T 11 C 0 (283)
Fear is a symptom of your deep sense of loss	T 11 C 1 (283)
symptom of your deep sense of loss. If when you perceive	T 11 C 1 (283)
the loss, the basic CAUSE of fear is removed. Thereby you	T 11 C 1 (283)
love are the only emotions of which you are capable. One	T 11 C 1 (283)
for it was made out of denial, and denial depends on	T 11 C 1 (283)
correctly AS A POSITIVE AFFIRMATION OF THE UNDERLYING BELIEF IT MASKS	T 11 C 2 (283)
have drawn across the face of love has disappeared. T	T 11 C 2 (283)
how could you better learn of its reality than by answering	T 11 C 3 (283)
The Holy Spirits interpretation of fear DOES dispel it, for	T 11 C 3 (283)
dispel it, for the AWARENESS of truth cannot BE denied. Thus	T 11 C 3 (283)
And thus will YOU learn of Him how to replace your	T 11 C 3 (283)
how to replace your dream of separation with the fact of	T 11 C 3 (283)
of separation with the fact of unity. For the separation is	T 11 C 3 (283)
separation is only the DENIAL of union, and correctly interpreted, attests	T 11 C 3 (283)
Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. If to	T 11 C 4 (283)
not BE sick. The task of the miracle-worker thus becomes TO	T 11 C 4 (283)
becomes TO DENY THE DENIAL OF TRUTH. The sick must heal	T 11 C 4 (283)
them shines as brightly REGARDLESS of the density of the fog	T 11 C 5 (284)
brightly REGARDLESS of the density of the fog that obscures it	T 11 C 5 (284)
power only because the Son of God gave power to it	T 11 C 5 (284)
remembering that ALL power is of God. YOU CAN REMEMBER THIS	T 11 C 5 (284)
FORGOTTEN. To perceive the healing of your brother as the healing	T 11 C 5 (284)
your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way	T 11 C 5 (284)
answered. Healing is the love of Christ for His Father and	T 11 C 6 (284)
said about the frightening perceptions of little children, which terrify them	T 11 C 7 (284)
your heads under the covers of the heavy blankets you have	T 11 C 7 (284)
your nightmares in the darkness of your own certainty, and refusing	T 11 C 7 (284)
at what you are afraid of. Only the ANTICIPATION will frighten	T 11 C 8 (284)
frighten you, for the reality of nothingness cannot BE frightening. Let	T 11 C 8 (284)
your dream of hatred will not leave you	T 11 C 8 (285)
be quiet in the midst of turmoil, for quietness is the	T 11 C 8 (285)
for quietness is the end of strife and this is the	T 11 C 8 (285)
it is eternal. The goal of love is but your right	T 11 C 8 (285)
nightmare can defeat a Child of God in his purpose. For	T 11 C 9 (285)
hatred stand in the way of love, for NOTHING can withstand	T 11 C 9 (285)
NOTHING can withstand the love of Christ for His Father, or	T 11 C 9 (285)
little trust in the name of the COMPLETE trust I have	T 11 C 11 (285)
will easily accomplish the goal of perfection together. For perfection IS	T 11 C 11 (285)
denied. To deny the denial of perfection is not so difficult	T 11 C 11 (285)
so difficult as the denial of truth, and what we can	T 11 C 11 (285)
you in the peace out of which He was created. Would	T 11 C 12 (285)
THIS awareness for the awareness of your fear? When we have	T 11 C 12 (285)
to Him that is not of God is gone. Yet you	T 11 C 13 (286)
for looking at the cause of fear, and letting it go	T 11 C 13 (286)
to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you	T 11 D 2 (287)
and experience a quick response of opposition, you are believing that	T 11 D 2 (287)
his error real to BOTH of you. Insistence means investment, and	T 11 D 2 (287)
ALWAYS related to your notion of salvation. The question is always	T 11 D 2 (287)
for nothing can BE asked of you, and every request of	T 11 D 4 (287)
of you, and every request of a brother is for YOU	T 11 D 4 (287)
as YOU are. Poverty is of the ego, and NEVER of	T 11 D 4 (288)
of the ego, and NEVER of God. No outrageous request can	T 11 D 4 (288)
outrageous request can be made of one who recognizes what is	T 11 D 4 (288)
the what and the how of salvation, and this is the	T 11 D 5 (288)
ONLY answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself	T 11 D 5 (288)
for self-hate, making him AFRAID of himself. He does NOT realize	T 11 D 6 (288)
if he is fully aware of anxiety he does not perceive	T 11 D 6 (288)
it by making some sort of insane arrangement with the world	T 11 D 6 (288)
there IS no world outside of him. T 11 D	T 11 D 6 (288)
If only the loving thoughts of Gods Son are the	T 11 D 7 (288)
mind, but an internal conflict of this magnitude he cannot tolerate	T 11 D 7 (288)
This is a necessary consequence of what you have done. You	T 11 D 8 (289)
before you can get rid of it; and why you must	T 11 D 8 (289)
why you must get rid of it BEFORE you can perceive	T 11 D 8 (289)
reality cannot SEE the world of death. For death is NOT	T 11 D 9 (289)
death. For death is NOT of the real world, in which	T 11 D 9 (289)
the one you made out of your split mind, and which	T 11 D 9 (289)
and which IS the symbol of death. For if you could	T 11 D 9 (289)
separate yourselves from the Mind of God you WOULD die, and	T 11 D 9 (289)
you perceive IS a world of separation. T 11 D	T 11 D 9 (289)
It is not a world of will because it is governed	T 11 D 10 (289)
senseless laws, and without meaning of ANY kind. For it was	T 11 D 10 (289)
For it was made out of what you do NOT want	T 11 D 10 (289)
mind because you were afraid of it. T 11 D	T 11 D 10 (289)
is ONLY in the mind of its maker, along with his	T 11 D 11 (289)
not believe it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing	T 11 D 11 (289)
the mind is the mechanism of decision. If you will recognize	T 11 D 11 (289)
also lies salvation. The altar of God where Christ abideth is	T 11 D 11 (289)
FOR you. Bring your perceptions of the ---	T 11 D 12 (289)
to you from the altar of God. E. Seeking and	T 11 D 12 (290)

of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is	T 11 E 2 (290)
BUT lead to a sense of futility and depression? To seek	T 11 E 4 (291)
He loves with the Love of the Father. T 11	T 11 E 4 (291)
is true IS the Will of the Father. You pay no	T 11 E 6 (291)
you CANNOT sell the Kingdom of Heaven. Your inheritance can neither	T 11 E 6 (291)
can BE no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for God is	T 11 E 6 (291)
Atonement was not the price of your wholeness, but it WAS	T 11 E 7 (291)
292) price of your AWARENESS of your wholeness	T 11 E 7 (292)
price of your AWARENESS of your wholeness. For what you	T 11 E 7 (292)
and will IS the price of the Kingdom. Your inheritance awaits	T 11 E 7 (292)
do so. BEFORE the idea of attack can enter your mind	T 11 F 1 (293)
That is why the recognition of your OWN invulnerability is so	T 11 F 2 (293)
so important in the restoration of your sanity. For if you	T 11 F 2 (293)
protect you. Yet the recognition of your invulnerability has more than	T 11 F 2 (293)
never realize the utter uselessness of attack EXCEPT by recognizing that	T 11 F 3 (293)
are always the first point of your attack, and if THIS	T 11 F 3 (293)
ATTACKED it. You cannot learn of perfect love with a split	T 11 F 4 (293)
wanted to retain the characteristics of creation with your own CONTENT	T 11 F 4 (293)
CONTENT. Yet creation is NOT of you, and poor learners need	T 11 F 4 (293)
He BECOMES your Resource, because of YOURSELF you CANNOT learn. The	T 11 F 5 (294)
do not know the meaning of love, and that IS your	T 11 F 6 (294)
not learned, and the impairment of the ability to generalize is	T 11 F 6 (294)
do NOT succeed. The result of this curriculum goal is obvious	T 11 F 7 (294)
and are using the aim of teaching to DEFEAT itself, what	T 11 F 7 (294)
F 8 This kind of learning has so weakened your	T 11 F 8 (294)
It is merely the result of an honest appraisal of what	T 11 F 9 (295)
result of an honest appraisal of what you have taught yourselves	T 11 F 9 (295)
you have taught yourselves, and of the learning outcomes which have	T 11 F 9 (295)
nothing can oppose the will of Gods Son. His learning	T 11 F 10 (295)
G. The Vision of Christ T	T 11 G 0 (296)
gain in the world, for OF ITSELF it profits nothing. To	T 11 G 1 (296)
you CAN sell your AWARENESS of it. You cannot perceive your	T 11 G 1 (296)
know yourselves, and perfectly aware of how to teach you what	T 11 G 2 (296)
never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never	T 11 G 2 (296)
ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in	T 11 G 2 (296)
is in your memory BECAUSE of Him. You chose to forget	T 11 G 2 (296)
the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever	T 11 G 3 (296)
in it is whatever part of it you look upon with	T 11 G 3 (296)
self-EXTENSION, so does the PERCEPTION of self-value come from the projection	T 11 G 3 (296)
self-value come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the	T 11 G 3 (296)
real world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so	T 11 G 3 (296)
see. To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy	T 11 G 4 (296)
awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of	T 11 G 4 (296)
of forgetting to the remembering of God. Christs eyes are	T 11 G 4 (296)
Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of	T 11 G 5 (296)
of Christ for every Son of God who	T 11 G 5 (296)
In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He	T 11 G 5 (297)
Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his	T 11 G 5 (297)
you must learn the cost of sleeping, and REFUSE to pay	T 11 G 6 (297)
He has never lost sight of YOU. He looks quietly on	T 11 G 6 (297)
with you because He knows of the Fathers Love for	T 11 G 6 (297)
you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirits blessing	T 11 G 6 (297)

in ALL situations, the transfer of your training under the Holy	T 11 G 7 (297)

the unification of the laws of God. T 11 G	T 11 G 7 (297)
as separate, and the denial of the separation IS the re-	T 11 G 8 (297)
separation IS the re- instatement of knowledge. At the altar of	T 11 G 8 (297)
of knowledge. At the altar of God, the	T 11 G 8 (297)
holy perception of Gods Son becomes so	T 11 G 8 (298)
into it, and the Spirit of Gods Son shines in	T 11 G 8 (298)
Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes One	T 11 G 8 (298)
upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His Son	T 11 G 8 (298)
it blends into the Purpose of God. For the real world	T 11 G 8 (298)
redeemed join in perfect love of God and of each other	T 11 G 8 (298)
perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your	T 11 G 8 (298)
learned there is no order of difficulty in miracles when you	T 11 H 1 (299)
will radiate from YOUR acceptance of it for YOURSELF to everyone	T 11 H 1 (299)
your blessing. In every Child of God His blessing lies, and	T 11 H 1 (299)
lies, and in YOUR blessing of the Children of God is	T 11 H 1 (299)
YOUR blessing of the Children of God is His blessing to	T 11 H 1 (299)
his part in the redemption of the world, to recognize that	T 11 H 2 (299)
to ACT. And the RESULTS of your actions you CAN see	T 11 H 2 (299)
you can see the RESULTS of His Presence, and through them	T 11 H 3 (299)
to do is clearly NOT of this world, for miracles violate	T 11 H 3 (299)
for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges	T 11 H 3 (299)
world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude	T 11 H 3 (299)
law of time and space, of magnitude and mass, of prediction	T 11 H 3 (299)
space, of magnitude and mass, of prediction and control is transcended	T 11 H 3 (299)

For you can be AWARE of what you cannot see, and	T 11 H 4 (299)
this belief is the DESTRUCTION of peace, a goal in direct	T 11 H 5 (300)
Your perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you	T 11 H 5 (300)
Whose manifestations would you see? Of whose presence would you be	T 11 H 5 (300)
you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are	T 11 H 5 (300)
I am the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and when	T 11 H 6 (300)
for projection is a law of mind. Perception IS projection, and	T 11 H 7 (300)
represents the acceptance of two goals, each perceived in	T 11 H 8 (301)
This gives it an illusion of integrity, and enables it to	T 11 H 8 (301)
nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive is	T 11 H 9 (301)
perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. You have	T 11 H 9 (301)
H 10 The power of decision is your one remaining	T 11 H 10 (301)
remaining freedom as a prisoner of this world. YOU CAN DECIDE	T 11 H 10 (301)
IT RIGHT. What YOU made of it is NOT its reality	T 11 H 10 (301)
for it was the decision of what you SOUGHT. T	T 11 H 10 (301)
11 You are afraid of me because you looked within	T 11 H 11 (301)
looked within and are afraid of what you saw. Yet you	T 11 H 11 (301)
seen reality, for the reality of your mind is the loveliest	T 11 H 11 (301)
your mind is the loveliest of Gods creations. Coming only	T 11 H 11 (301)
brothers, in the perfect safety of the Mind Which created us	T 11 H 11 (301)

God knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty never	T 11 H 14 (302)

That is why the UNDOING of guilt is an essential part	T 11 H 15 (303)
guilt is an essential part of the Holy Spirits teaching	T 11 H 15 (303)
are listening to the voice of the ego, which tells you	T 11 H 15 (303)
life have been given me of the Father UNLESS He had	T 11 H 16 (303)
you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden	T 11 I 1 (304)
Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real	T 11 I 1 (304)
not live in the knowledge of Him. T 11 I	T 11 I 2 (304)
HOLY SPIRIT sees. The definition of reality is Gods, not	T 11 I 3 (304)

Vision will correct the perception of everything you see. For what	T 11 I 4 (304)
WILL remember. Yet the memory of God cannot shine in a	T 11 I 5 (305)

upon what you have made of it, and rejoice that it	T 11 I 5 (305)
it is not so. Son of God, be not content with	T 11 I 5 (305)

306) function of love to unite all things	T 11 I 7 (306)
take it from the hand of Christ and look upon it	T 11 I 8 (306)
for ONLY perception is capable of error, and perception has never	T 11 I 8 (306)
for condemnation is the root of attack. It is the judgment	T 11 J 1 (307)
attack. It is the judgment of one mind by another as	T 11 J 1 (307)
mind by another as UNWORTHY of love and DESERVING of punishment	T 11 J 1 (307)
UNWORTHY of love and DESERVING of punishment. But herein lies the	T 11 J 1 (307)
is but the delusional attempt of the mind to deny itself	T 11 J 1 (307)
itself and ESCAPE THE PENALTY OF DENIAL. It is not an	T 11 J 1 (307)
J 2 The acceptance of guilt into the mind of	T 11 J 2 (307)
of guilt into the mind of Gods Son was the	T 11 J 2 (307)
s Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance	T 11 J 2 (307)
the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end	T 11 J 2 (307)
see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt	T 11 J 2 (307)
this world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws	T 11 J 2 (307)
govern it are the laws of death. Children are born into	T 11 J 2 (307)
by suffering, and they learn of sorrow and separation and death	T 11 J 2 (307)
perhaps the most insane belief of all. And their bodies wither	T 11 J 2 (307)
be no more. Not one of them but has thought that	T 11 J 2 (307)
to this as the price of salvation and BE loving. LOVE	T 11 J 3 (307)
Gods. Only the world of guilt could demand this, for	T 11 J 3 (307)
only the guilty could CONCEIVE of it. Adams sin could	T 11 J 3 (307)
sin could have touched none of you had you not believed	T 11 J 3 (307)
FATHER Who drove him out of paradise. For in that belief	T 11 J 3 (307)
in that belief the knowledge of the Father was lost, since	T 11 J 3 (307)
This world IS a picture of the crucifixion of Gods	T 11 J 4 (307)
a picture of the crucifixion of Gods Son. And until	T 11 J 4 (307)
sinned, he has no NEED of salvation. T 11 J	T 11 J 4 (308)
Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate	T 11 J 5 (308)
for it is the denial of the blamelessness of Gods	T 11 J 5 (308)
the denial of the blamelessness of Gods Son. T	T 11 J 5 (308)
you have made, the Son of God HAS sinned. How could	T 11 J 6 (308)
making him invisible, the world of retribution rose in the black	T 11 J 6 (308)
rose in the black cloud of guilt which you accepted, and	T 11 J 6 (308)
it dear. For the blamelessness of Christ is the proof that	T 11 J 6 (308)
as you believe the Son of God is guilty you will	T 11 J 7 (308)
The journey which the Son of God has set himself is	T 11 J 8 (308)
Father sets him is one of release and joy. The Father	T 11 J 8 (309)
Spirit stands at the END of time, where YOU must be	T 11 J 8 (309)
has ALWAYS undone everything unworthy of the Son of God, for	T 11 J 8 (309)
everything unworthy of the Son of God, for such was His	T 11 J 8 (309)
as you learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has	T 11 J 9 (309)
it is only a matter of time, and time is but	T 11 J 9 (309)
an illusion. For the Son of God is guiltless NOW, and	T 11 J 9 (309)
guiltless NOW, and the brightness of his purity shines untouched forever	T 11 J 9 (309)
guiltlessness is in the Mind of his Father, and protects him	T 11 J 9 (309)
his oneness. For the idea of guilt brings a belief in	T 11 J 10 (309)
brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting separation	T 11 J 10 (309)
another, projecting separation in place of unity. You can condemn only	T 11 J 10 (309)
You have denied the condition of his Being, which is his	T 11 J 10 (309)
is his perfect blamelessness. Out of Love he was created, and	T 11 J 10 (309)
has always extended the Love of his Father. T 11	T 11 J 10 (309)
only an awakening. The Son of God, who sleepeth not, has	T 11 J 11 (309)
been. Let the holiness of Gods Son shine away	T 11 J 11 (310)
Son shine away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind	T 11 J 11 (310)
his purity as yours, learn of him that it IS yours	T 11 J 11 (310)
therefore guilt MUST deprive you of the appreciation of eternity. You	T 11 J 12 (310)
deprive you of the appreciation of eternity. You are immortal BECAUSE	T 11 J 12 (310)
Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and future in	T 11 J 12 (310)
is guaranteed. Yet the guarantee of your continuity is Gods	T 11 J 12 (310)
And immortality is the opposite of time, for time passes away	T 11 J 12 (310)
guilt could induce a sense of NEED for expiation. Accepting the	T 11 J 13 (310)
for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of God as	T 11 J 13 (310)
the guiltlessness of the Son of God as YOURS is therefore	T 11 J 13 (310)
is therefore Gods way of reminding you of His Son	T 11 J 13 (310)
s way of reminding you of His Son, and what he	T 11 J 13 (310)
plan, which it offers INSTEAD of dispelling it. The ego believes	T 11 J 14 (310)
for guilt is the RESULT of attack. In the egos	T 11 J 15 (310)
looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he KNOWS this is	T 11 J 15 (311)
Chapter 12 - THE PROBLEM OF GUILT A. Introduction	T 12 0 0 (312)
1 The ultimate purpose of projection as the ego uses	T 12 A 1 (312)
is ALWAYS to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the ego	T 12 A 1 (312)
ego attempts to get rid of guilt from ITS viewpoint only	T 12 A 1 (312)
guilt stands in the way of your remembering God, Whose pull	T 12 A 1 (312)
issue, then, the deepest split of all occurs, for if you	T 12 A 1 (312)
project guilt to get rid of it, but you are actually	T 12 A 2 (312)
them with a weird assortment of ego ideals, which the ego	T 12 A 2 (312)
you are failing the Son of God by seeing him as	T 12 A 2 (312)
B 1 The darkest of your hidden cornerstones holds your	T 12 B 1 (312)
so intense that nothing short of the crucifixion of Gods	T 12 B 1 (312)
nothing short of the crucifixion of Gods Son can ultimately	T 12 B 1 (312)
not know who the Son of God is, because it is	T 12 B 1 (312)
12 B 2 Much of the egos strange behavior	T 12 B 2 (312)
directly attributable to its definition of guilt. To the ego, THE	T 12 B 2 (312)
by not valuing its interpretation of salvation, they are in an	T 12 B 2 (312)
In the calm light of truth, let us recognize that	T 12 B 3 (313)
the crucifixion is the symbol of the ego. When it was	T 12 B 4 (313)
confronted with the REAL guiltlessness of Gods Son it DID	T 12 B 4 (313)
understand that all your fear of this course stems ultimately from	T 12 B 4 (313)
peace. Yet you are AFRAID of it. You have been told	T 12 B 5 (313)
trying to imprison you. Most of the time you dismiss it	T 12 B 5 (313)
You have recognized the futility of the ego and its offerings	T 12 B 6 (314)
with gladness. You are AFRAID of redemption, and you believe it	T 12 B 6 (314)
no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you believe	T 12 B 6 (314)
believe that, in the presence of truth, you will turn on	T 12 B 6 (314)
between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you will	T 12 B 7 (314)
for it is the recognition of love WITHOUT fear. There will	T 12 B 7 (314)
YOURS. For the redeemed son of man IS the guiltless Son	T 12 B 7 (314)
man IS the guiltless Son of God, and to recognize him	T 12 B 7 (314)
C. The Fear of Redemption T	T 12 C 0 (315)
state, you are NOT afraid of fear. You do not like	T 12 C 1 (315)
because you are MORE afraid of what it covers. T	T 12 C 1 (315)
more. You are NOT afraid of crucifixion. Your real terror is	T 12 C 2 (315)
crucifixion. Your real terror is of REDEMPTION. Under the egos	T 12 C 2 (315)
dark foundation is the memory of God, and it is of	T 12 C 2 (315)
of God, and it is of THIS that you are really	T 12 C 2 (315)
C 3 Your fear of attack is nothing compared to	T 12 C 3 (315)
nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing	T 12 C 3 (315)
your intense and burning love of God, and His for you	T 12 C 3 (315)
joyous response to the call of love if you heard it	T 12 C 4 (316)
you go into the blackness of the egos foundation, the	T 12 C 5 (316)
You would rather be slaves of the crucifixion than sons of	T 12 C 6 (316)
of the crucifixion than sons of God in redemption. For your	T 12 C 6 (316)
made. You are more afraid of God than of the ego	T 12 C 6 (316)
more afraid of God than of the ego, and love cannot	T 12 C 6 (316)
hatred can, for it enters of ITS will and cares not	T 12 C 6 (316)
is uncovered, that its need of healing cannot BE denied. Not	T 12 C 7 (316)
here is the REAL crucifixion of Gods Son. T	T 12 C 7 (316)
Do not leave any spot of pain hidden from His light	T 12 C 8 (317)
hurt you, and cleanse it of its littleness, restoring it to	T 12 C 8 (317)
restoring it to the magnitude of God. T 12 C	T 12 C 8 (317)
the Father, in loving remembrance of Him. You will find this	T 12 C 9 (317)
You will find this place of truth as you see it	T 12 C 9 (317)
For grandeur is the RIGHT of Gods Son, and NO	T 12 C 9 (317)
you may accept the magnitude of your Father in peace and	T 12 C 10 (317)
where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome	T 12 C 10 (317)
you could not ask this of a Father Who truly loved	T 12 C 11 (317)
His Son. Therefore you made of Him an unloving father, demanding	T 12 C 11 (317)
Him an unloving father, demanding of Him what only such a	T 12 C 11 (317)
could give. And the peace of Gods Son was shattered	T 12 C 11 (317)
For how could the gentleness of love respond to his demands	T 12 C 12 (318)
it must seek a place of darkness where it can believe	T 12 C 12 (318)
pain, for suffering is not of His creation. Having GIVEN you	T 12 C 13 (318)
reason why you are afraid of this course should be apparent	T 12 D 1 (319)
inheritance except the dust out of which it thinks you were	T 12 D 1 (319)
as Heaven. For your definition of Heaven IS Hell and oblivion	T 12 D 2 (319)
has a very strange notion of time, and it is with	T 12 D 4 (319)
past is the ONLY aspect of time that is meaningful. You	T 12 D 4 (319)
the present. By the notion of PAYING for the past in	T 12 D 4 (320)
the past becomes the DETERMINER of the future, making them continuous	T 12 D 4 (320)
The present merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts	T 12 D 5 (320)
receive messages from them out of your OWN past because, by	T 12 D 5 (320)
thus deny yourself the message of release that every brother offers	T 12 D 5 (320)
you. They carry the spots of pain in your minds, directing	T 12 D 6 (320)
And this decision is one of FUTURE pain. Unless you learn	T 12 D 6 (320)
you are choosing a future of illusions and losing the endless	T 12 D 6 (320)
no one, and the SHARING of salvation, which MAKES the encounter	T 12 D 7 (320)
the Holy Spirits perception of time is the exact opposite	T 12 D 7 (321)
time is the exact opposite of the egos. The reason	T 12 D 7 (321)
for they perceive the goal of time as diametrically opposed.	T 12 D 7 (321)
does He regard the function of time as temporary, serving only	T 12 D 8 (321)
therefore on the only aspect of time which CAN extend to	T 12 D 8 (321)
NOW is the closest approximation of eternity which this world offers	T 12 D 8 (321)
It is in the REALITY of now, without past OR future	T 12 D 8 (321)
OR future, that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity lies	T 12 D 8 (321)
the beginning of the appreciation of eternity lies. For only now	T 12 D 8 (321)
other hand, regards the function of time as one of extending	T 12 D 9 (321)
function of time as one of extending itself IN PLACE of	T 12 D 9 (321)
of extending itself IN PLACE of eternity, for, like the Holy	T 12 D 9 (321)
the ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The	T 12 D 9 (321)
as its own. The continuity of past and future, under ITS	T 12 D 9 (321)
it. It is HIS interpretation of the means of salvation which	T 12 D 9 (321)
HIS interpretation of the means of salvation which you must learn	T 12 D 9 (321)
you would share His goal of salvation for you. T	T 12 D 9 (321)
too, will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours	T 12 D 10 (321)
your function in the world of time as healing, you will	T 12 D 10 (321)
will emphasize ONLY the aspect of time in which healing can	T 12 D 10 (321)
destruction, you will lose sight of the present and hold on	T 12 D 10 (321)
as you interpret it, for of itself it is NOTHING.	T 12 D 10 (321)
many forms, for the content of individual illusions differs greatly. Yet	T 12 E 1 (322)
all insane. They are made of sights which are NOT seen	T 12 E 1 (322)
past, and it is because of this that private worlds DO	T 12 E 2 (322)
they are made up only of HIS reactions to his brothers	T 12 E 2 (322)
ONLY those who remind them of these images, and it is	T 12 E 3 (322)
not see, for the REALITY of their brothers they CANNOT see	T 12 E 4 (323)
world you react to each of them as though it were	T 12 E 5 (323)
is filled with the figures of fear you have invited into	T 12 E 5 (323)
is soundless. Your behavioral manifestations of emotions are the OPPOSITE of	T 12 E 6 (323)
of emotions are the OPPOSITE of what the emotions are. You	T 12 E 6 (323)
own voice. And the vision of Christ is not in your	T 12 E 6 (323)
it, for it is unworthy of you because it is unworthy	T 12 E 7 (323)
you because it is unworthy of Him. Yet He WOULD release	T 12 E 7 (323)
them. The Father welcomes all of us in gladness, and gladness	T 12 E 8 (324)
offer Him. For every Son of God is given you to	T 12 E 8 (324)
darkness, in the private world of sleep, you SEE in dreams	T 12 E 9 (324)
no longer see, for sight of it depends upon DENYING vision	T 12 E 9 (324)
for you MADE your way of seeing that you might see	T 12 E 10 (324)
WITHIN you, is the vision of Christ, Who looks on all	T 12 E 10 (324)
you. Each is a WAY OF SEEING, and different worlds arise	T 12 E 11 (324)
His vision is His gift of love to you, given Him	T 12 E 11 (325)
love to you, given Him of the Father FOR you.	T 12 E 11 (325)
RECOGNIZED Him. In the sanity of His vision they looked upon	T 12 E 12 (325)
them. And WITH this vision of the truth in them came	T 12 E 12 (325)
them came all the beauty of the world to shine upon	T 12 E 12 (325)
truly is to be aware of ALL reality through the awareness	T 12 F 1 (326)
ALL reality through the awareness of your own. But for this	T 12 F 1 (326)
you see but an image of him which you made and	T 12 F 1 (326)
you made and cherish INSTEAD of him. In your questioning of	T 12 F 1 (326)
of him. In your questioning of illusions, ask yourself if it	T 12 F 1 (326)
present UNLESS YOU ARE AFRAID OF LIGHT. And only if you	T 12 F 2 (326)
guilt in Him. No cloud of guilt has risen to obscure	T 12 F 3 (326)
imprison, depending on whose interpretation of it you use. Past, present	T 12 F 4 (326)
the future on the basis of your past experience and plan	T 12 F 4 (327)
Let no dark cloud out of YOUR past obscure him from	T 12 F 5 (327)
see that you ARE free of them. T 12 F	T 12 F 5 (327)
It extends to all aspects of consciousness AT THE SAME TIME	T 12 F 6 (327)
offered you. For the light of perfect vision is freely given	T 12 F 7 (328)
In this one, still dimension of time, which does not change	T 12 F 7 (328)
where there is no sight of what you were, you look	T 12 F 7 (328)
Now is the time of salvation, for now is the	T 12 F 8 (328)
touch them with the touch of Christ. In timeless union with	T 12 F 8 (328)
a part in the song of redemption, the hymn of gladness	T 12 F 8 (328)
song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the	T 12 F 8 (328)
the light to the Creator of light. The holy light that	T 12 F 8 (328)
witness that his light is of his Father. T 12	T 12 F 8 (328)
on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you will	T 12 F 9 (328)
own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to	T 12 F 9 (328)
12 F 10 Children of Light, you know not that	T 12 F 10 (328)
received it of you they would keep it	T 12 F 10 (329)
here will everything remind you of your Father and his Holy	T 12 F 11 (329)
will draw the others out of darkness as you look on	T 12 F 11 (329)
Christ is following the laws of love of your free will	T 12 F 12 (329)
following the laws of love of your free will, and out	T 12 F 12 (329)
your free will, and out of quiet recognition of the truth	T 12 F 12 (329)
and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The	T 12 F 12 (329)
truth in them. The attraction of light must draw you willingly	T 12 F 12 (329)
GIVING. Those who accept love of you become your willing witnesses	T 12 F 12 (329)
the nightmares come. You dream of isolation BECAUSE your eyes are	T 12 F 12 (329)
And yet the laws of love are not suspended because	T 12 F 13 (329)
G. Attainment of the Real World	T 12 G 0 (330)
people buy an endless list of things they do not need	T 12 G 1 (330)
must be DENIED, for sight of it is costing you a	T 12 G 2 (330)
costing you a different kind of vision. YOU CANNOT SEE BOTH	T 12 G 2 (330)
SEE BOTH WORLDS, for each of them involves a different kind	T 12 G 2 (330)
them involves a different kind of seeing and depends on what	T 12 G 2 (330)
what you cherish. The sight of one is possible BECAUSE you	T 12 G 2 (330)
has withstood the crumbling assault of time. Nothing you made but	T 12 G 3 (330)
made but has the mark of death upon it. Hold it	T 12 G 3 (330)
not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it	T 12 G 4 (330)
to it from every part of this strange world you made	T 12 G 4 (330)
has slipped away. The out of mind is out of sight	T 12 G 5 (331)
out of mind is out of sight because what is denied	T 12 G 5 (331)
but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him	T 12 G 6 (331)
he will DENY the vision of the other world, maintaining that	T 12 G 6 (331)
found His company, and learned of Him the joyful journey home	T 12 G 6 (331)
your errors for the peace of God is but YOUR will	T 12 G 6 (331)
ALWAYS offer you the Will of God, in recognition that you	T 12 G 6 (331)
without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can never be	T 12 G 7 (331)
He MUST deny the world of pain the instant he perceives	T 12 G 7 (331)
instant he perceives the arms of love around him. And from	T 12 G 7 (331)
him. And from this point of safety he looks quietly about	T 12 G 7 (331)
G 8 The peace of God passeth your understanding ONLY	T 12 G 8 (331)
that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that is	T 12 G 8 (332)
ALWAYS yours, being the gift of God unto His Son. Your	T 12 G 8 (332)
You will first dream of peace, and then awaken to	T 12 G 9 (332)
to it. Your first exchange of what you made for what	T 12 G 9 (332)
you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams	T 12 G 9 (332)
nightmares for the happy dreams of love. In these lie your	T 12 G 9 (332)
Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams where ALL perception is	T 12 G 9 (332)
no correction. Yet the dreams of love lead UNTO knowledge. In	T 12 G 9 (332)
see nothing fearful, and because of this they are the welcome	T 12 G 9 (332)
world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore the	T 12 G 9 (332)
always was. Therefore the call of joy is in it, and	T 12 G 9 (332)
Father for the perfect sanity of His most holy Son.	T 12 G 9 (332)
knoweth that you have need of nothing. In Heaven this is	T 12 G 10 (332)
because it is a world of scarcity in which you find	T 12 G 10 (332)
would be no. Yet because of Him the answer is a	T 12 G 10 (332)
knows what you have need of and what will not hurt	T 12 G 10 (332)
it demands you lay ALL of the things it bids you	T 12 G 10 (332)
you get it will DEMAND of you. And even from the	T 12 G 11 (333)
its name. Therefore ask not of yourselves what you need, for	T 12 G 11 (333)
long as you have need of them. He will take nothing	T 12 G 12 (333)
as you have ANY need of it. And yet He knows	T 12 G 12 (333)
needs, and learn that all of them HAVE BEEN fulfilled. Therefore	T 12 G 12 (333)
not use them on behalf of lingering in time. He knows	T 12 G 12 (333)
them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He	T 12 G 13 (333)
all dangers to your peace of mind that this world sets	T 12 G 14 (334)
quiet journey to the peace of God, where He would have	T 12 G 14 (334)
quietness that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for	T 12 G 15 (334)
restore to you the peace of mind that we must find	T 12 G 15 (334)
I GIVE you. TAKE it of me in glad exchange for	T 12 G 15 (334)
spread it like a veil of light across the worlds	T 12 G 15 (334)
through His Spirit. The sound of it will banish sorrow from	T 12 G 16 (334)
banish sorrow from the mind of Gods most holy Son	T 12 G 16 (334)
Give thanks to every part of you that you have taught	T 12 G 16 (334)
you. Thus does the Son of God give thanks unto his	T 12 G 16 (334)
which belongs to the sphere of knowledge, and which therefore no	T 13 A 1 (335)
separate. YOU are an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind	T 13 A 2 (335)
knowledge, being in the Mind of God, Who KNOWS you. All	T 13 A 2 (335)
never complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect	T 13 A 2 (335)
His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds everything in light	T 13 A 2 (335)
forever. B. The Role of Healing T	T 13 B 0 (335)
is merely a faulty formulation of reality, with no effect at	T 13 B 1 (335)
Heaven, IS needful here. Aspects of reality can still be seen	T 13 B 1 (335)
and they will replace aspects of UNreality. Aspects of reality can	T 13 B 1 (335)
replace aspects of UNreality. Aspects of reality can be seen in	T 13 B 1 (335)
one with the final gift of eternity. T 13 B	T 13 B 1 (335)
either, being in the mind of both and knowing that Mind	T 13 B 2 (335)
one. He is a Thought of God, and God has given	T 13 B 2 (335)
not share. His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that	T 13 B 2 (336)
His reality. The golden aspects of reality which spring to light	T 13 B 2 (336)
loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that lies BEYOND	T 13 B 2 (336)
This is the miracle of creation; THAT IT IS ONE	T 13 B 3 (336)
you offer to the Son of God is but the true	T 13 B 3 (336)
is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole	T 13 B 3 (336)
true perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect	T 13 B 3 (336)
you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and	T 13 B 3 (336)
Him to give His gift of light to all who think	T 13 B 3 (336)
them all, as every aspect of reality you see blends quietly	T 13 B 4 (336)
quietly into the One Reality of God. The only miracle that	T 13 B 4 (336)
for miracles, offered the Son of God through the Holy Spirit	T 13 B 5 (336)
concern. You who are part of it and all of it	T 13 B 5 (336)
part of it and all of it need only realize that	T 13 B 5 (336)
only realize that it is of the Father, NOT of you	T 13 B 5 (336)
is of the Father, NOT of you. Your role in the	T 13 B 5 (336)
having learned to free yourself of Him Who knows of freedom	T 13 B 6 (337)
yourself of Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under	T 13 B 6 (337)
me under the holy banner of His teaching, and as we	T 13 B 6 (337)
grow in strength the power of Gods Son will move	T 13 B 6 (337)
all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy	T 13 B 6 (337)
the witnesses to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given	T 13 B 7 (337)
as they reach the gates of Heaven God will open them	T 13 B 8 (337)
C. The Shadow of Guilt T	T 13 C 0 (338)
laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow	T 13 C 1 (338)
and the past the laws of God must intervene, if you	T 13 C 1 (338)
so brightly that the chain of darkness in which you bound	T 13 C 1 (338)
commandments you bring its condemnation of yourself, and you will not	T 13 C 2 (338)
be rewarded only in terms of the belief in which the	T 13 C 2 (338)
placed. Faith MAKES the power of belief, and where it is	T 13 C 2 (338)
think is YOURS. The power of your VALUING will make it	T 13 C 3 (338)
Atonement brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it	T 13 C 4 (338)
do not believe the Son of God is guiltless	T 13 C 4 (338)
from his mind the cloud of guilt that binds him to	T 13 C 4 (339)
idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and	T 13 C 5 (339)
other, calling for punishment INSTEAD of love. NOTHING can justify insanity	T 13 C 5 (339)
you will affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto YOURSELF. In every	T 13 C 6 (339)
that you offer the Son of God lies the conviction of	T 13 C 6 (339)
of God lies the conviction of your OWN guilt. If you	T 13 C 6 (339)
Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of	T 13 C 6 (339)
of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers	T 13 C 6 (339)
impossible to condemn the Son of God IN PART. Those whom	T 13 C 6 (339)
while you see one spot of guilt within you, you will	T 13 C 7 (339)
LOOK WITHIN. You are afraid of what you would see there	T 13 C 7 (339)
you is the holy sign of perfect faith your Father has	T 13 C 9 (340)
DIFFERENCE, for He knows not of differences. Can YOU see guilt	T 13 C 9 (340)
mind can see the source of pain where it is not	T 13 D 1 (341)
is not. The doubtful service of displacement is to hide the	T 13 D 1 (341)
to hide the REAL source of your guilt, and KEEP from	T 13 D 1 (341)
to look upon all sorts of sources underneath awareness, provided that	T 13 D 1 (341)
or even hold one spot of it to mar its purity	T 13 D 2 (341)
is to perceive the source of guilt outside themselves, BEYOND their	T 13 D 3 (341)
all the while you dreamed of guilt, and would not look	T 13 D 5 (342)
ALWAYS find Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as	T 13 D 6 (342)
would not be. The purpose of Atonement is to dispel illusions	T 13 D 6 (342)
has seen separation, but knows of union. He teaches healing but	T 13 D 7 (342)
healing but He also knows of creation. He would have you	T 13 D 7 (342)
is NOT now. The Son of God believes that he is	T 13 D 8 (343)
you. Look THROUGH the cloud of guilt that dims your vision	T 13 D 9 (343)
offers mercy to every Child of God, as He would have	T 13 D 9 (343)
within, and see the light of love shining as steadily and	T 13 D 10 (343)
is not in the Mind of God, where YOU are. And	T 13 D 10 (343)
into REAL relationships with any of Gods Sons unless you	T 13 D 11 (344)
If you single out PART of the Sonship for your love	T 13 D 11 (344)
as guiltless in the peace of God. If he IS guiltless	T 13 D 11 (344)
I say: Behold the Son of God and look upon his	T 13 D 11 (344)
him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But	T 13 D 12 (344)
You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, whom	T 13 D 12 (344)
loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you beyond	T 13 D 13 (344)
to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness which is of	T 13 D 13 (344)
of its wholeness which is of God. ---	T 13 D 13 (344)
brightness so intense that none of us alone can even think	T 13 D 14 (345)
it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom guilt melts away	T 13 D 14 (345)
is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your Father. See	T 13 D 14 (345)
your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has	T 13 D 14 (345)
will never cease His praise of YOU. United in this praise	T 13 D 14 (345)
we stand before the gates of Heaven, where we will surely	T 13 D 14 (345)
the perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on peace. Yet no	T 13 D 15 (345)
would surely end his peace of mind, and so destroy him	T 13 D 15 (345)
you have heard the hymn of freedom rising unto Heaven. Gladness	T 13 D 16 (345)
E. The Guarantee of Heaven T	T 13 E 0 (346)
placed it, and the value of what God esteems cannot BE	T 13 E 1 (346)
been ESTABLISHED. It is WHOLLY of value. It can merely be	T 13 E 1 (346)
interruption. There is a sense of peace so deep that no	T 13 E 1 (346)
brought even a dim imagining of what it is. T	T 13 E 1 (346)
show you what is CAPABLE of being wholly shared. It can	T 13 E 2 (346)
also show you the RESULTS of sharing, while you still remember	T 13 E 2 (346)
you still remember the results of NOT sharing. The Holy Spirit	T 13 E 2 (346)
possible, when His mission is of God? T 13 E	T 13 E 2 (346)
all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son	T 13 E 3 (346)
in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds	T 13 E 3 (346)
in Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and	T 13 E 4 (347)

over you without a difference of any kind. For you will	T 13 E 4 (347)
Him to do. The Will of God can fail in NOTHING	T 13 E 4 (347)
insanity is NOT the Will of God. If that suffices Him	T 13 E 5 (347)
is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be wholly	T 13 E 6 (347)
The Holy Spirit knows ONLY of His Will. There is no	T 13 E 7 (347)
nightmare that disturbed the mind of Gods sleeping Son holds	T 13 E 7 (348)
He WILL learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him	T 13 E 7 (348)
call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as	T 13 E 8 (348)
IS so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as	T 13 E 8 (348)
has a very different kind of reconciliation in His Mind for	T 13 E 9 (348)

done unto you? INdirect proof of truth is needed in a	T 13 F 3 (349)
needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You	T 13 F 3 (349)
NOT to know. The logic of the world MUST therefore lead	T 13 F 3 (349)
not underestimate the actual extent of its insanity. There is no	T 13 F 4 (350)
insanity. There is no area of your perception that it has	T 13 F 4 (350)
OUTWARD. Were your thoughts wholly of YOU, the thought system which	T 13 F 5 (350)
The thoughts which the mind of Gods Son projects have	T 13 F 5 (350)
by him, for the Source of their undoing is IN him	T 13 F 5 (350)

These are but indirect expressions of the will to live, which	T 13 F 6 (350)

value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust	T 13 G 2 (351)

you value ONE thing made of nothing, you HAVE believed that	T 13 G 2 (351)
the distortions you have made of nothing; all the strange forms	T 13 G 3 (351)
that you have woven out of it. Nothing is so alien	T 13 G 3 (351)
make palaces and royal robes of nothing, believing they are kings	T 13 G 4 (351)
kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy	T 13 G 4 (351)
true. He brings the light of truth into the darkness, and	T 13 G 5 (352)

and from all the works of nothing. The heavy chains which	T 13 G 5 (352)
BUILT on truth. The universe of learning will open up before	T 13 G 7 (352)
happy learner meets the conditions of learning here, as he also	T 13 G 8 (353)
he also meets the conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom. All	T 13 G 8 (353)
forever. You MADE this door of nothing, and behind it IS	T 13 G 8 (353)
shapes and forms and fears of nothing. Accept this key to	T 13 G 8 (353)
to freedom from the hands of Christ Who gives it to	T 13 G 8 (353)
Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For	T 13 G 8 (353)
FREED you from the sleep of darkness. T 13 G	T 13 G 8 (353)

is all holy. The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling	T 13 G 9 (353)
Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when THIS is true	T 13 G 9 (353)
merely to offset the pain of guilt, and do not look	T 13 H 2 (354)
guilt and guiltlessness are BOTH of value, each representing an escape	T 13 H 2 (354)
ANY form, will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness	T 13 H 2 (354)
lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness, and push it	T 13 H 2 (354)
in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt SEEMS to attract you	T 13 H 3 (354)
but with the conviction born of the love of God and	T 13 H 3 (354)
conviction born of the love of God and of His Son	T 13 H 3 (354)
the love of God and of His Son: What I experience	T 13 H 3 (354)
to testify to my ACCEPTANCE of the Atonement, NOT for its	T 13 H 3 (354)
decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all that is	T 13 H 4 (354)
It is the natural result of choosing right, attesting to your	T 13 H 5 (355)
from choosing to be free of guilt. Everyone you offer healing	T 13 H 5 (355)
without this penalty. The cost of giving IS receiving. Either it	T 13 H 5 (355)

No penalty is ever asked of Gods Son except BY	T 13 H 6 (355)
Son except BY himself and OF himself. Every chance given him	T 13 H 6 (355)
dispelling darkness he became afraid of darkness AND of light. The	T 13 H 6 (355)
became afraid of darkness AND of light. The joy of learning	T 13 H 6 (355)
AND of light. The joy of learning that darkness has no	T 13 H 6 (355)
no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson	T 13 H 6 (355)
one can hurt the Son of God. ---	T 13 H 7 (355)
Cause, and guilt is not of Him. Teach no one he	T 13 H 8 (356)
yourself that what is not of God HAS power over you	T 13 H 8 (356)
causeless, and accept the Cause of God as YOURS. The power	T 13 H 8 (356)

It will hurt you because of the concept of decision which	T 13 H 9 (356)
you because of the concept of decision which led to it	T 13 H 9 (356)
FOR yourself alone. No thought of Gods Son CAN be	T 13 H 9 (356)
than anything you ever dreamed of. Those who accept the Atonement	T 13 H 9 (356)
provide that offers them ANYTHING of value. Yet because they do	T 13 H 10 (356)
strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they want and	T 13 H 10 (356)
yourself. You are not bereft of help, and Help that KNOWS	T 13 H 11 (356)
done to make you worthy of the gift of God. Ask	T 13 H 11 (357)
you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore	T 13 H 11 (357)
God. Ask it not therefore of yourselves. Instead, accept His answer	T 13 H 11 (357)
KNOWS that you are worthy of everything God wills for you	T 13 H 11 (357)
try to escape the gift of God which He so freely	T 13 H 11 (357)
or not you are deserving of it. God knows you ARE	T 13 H 11 (357)
Would you deny the truth of Gods decision, and place	T 13 H 12 (357)
and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself in place of His	T 13 H 12 (357)
appraisal of yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value	T 13 H 12 (357)
His calm and unswerving value of His Son? NOTHING can shake	T 13 H 12 (357)
can shake Gods conviction of the perfect purity of everything	T 13 H 12 (357)
conviction of the perfect purity of everything that He created, for	T 13 H 12 (357)
decide against it, for being of Him it MUST be true	T 13 H 12 (357)
his OWN. You know not of salvation, for you do not	T 13 H 12 (357)
where it lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit everything, and	T 13 H 12 (357)
One Who knows the plan of God which God would have	T 13 H 13 (357)
Only HIS wisdom is capable of guiding you to follow it	T 13 H 13 (357)
and against this strange distortion of the purity of the Son	T 13 H 13 (357)
strange distortion of the purity of the Son of God the	T 13 H 13 (357)
the purity of the Son of God the Holy Spirit is	T 13 H 13 (357)
He is the strong protector of your innocence which sets you	T 13 H 13 (357)
in you alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave	T 13 H 14 (358)
your salvation and the peace of God in you. T	T 13 H 14 (358)
not to appraise the worth of Gods Son whom He	T 13 H 15 (358)
teaches only that the sin of self-replacement on the throne of	T 13 H 15 (358)
of self-replacement on the throne of God is NOT a source	T 13 H 15 (358)
God is NOT a source of guilt. What cannot happen can	T 13 H 15 (358)
and would lead you out of insanity. Madness may be your	T 13 H 15 (358)
reality. Never forget the Love of God, Who HAS remembered you	T 13 H 15 (358)
For His decisions are reflections of what God KNOWS about you	T 13 H 16 (358)
and in this light error of ANY kind becomes impossible. Why	T 13 H 16 (358)
Spirit makes FOR you? Learn of His wisdom and His love	T 13 H 16 (358)
yourselves the most unnatural habit of NOT communicating	T 13 H 18 (358)
His loving guidance, and learn of all the happy communication that	T 13 H 18 (359)
what you should do, think of His Presence in you, and	T 13 H 19 (359)
I. The Way of Salvation T	T 13 I 0 (360)

you will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet	T 13 I 1 (360)
like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than merely	T 13 I 2 (360)
than merely guiltless. The state of guiltlessness is only the condition	T 13 I 2 (360)
condition in which it happens OF ITSELF. T 13 I	T 13 I 2 (360)
Gods Mind with all of YOURS. Can you escape this	T 13 I 4 (360)
yourself. He created you out of Himself, but still within Him	T 13 I 5 (361)
His Holiness, nor anyone unworthy of His perfect Love. Fail not	T 13 I 5 (361)
Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place	T 13 I 5 (361)
a loveless place made out of darkness and deceit, for thus	T 13 I 5 (361)
Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God	T 13 I 5 (361)
by loving not the Son of God, and trying to teach	T 13 I 6 (361)
to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic	T 13 I 6 (361)
insane attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with	T 13 I 6 (361)
cheats you of the joy of living with your God and	T 13 I 6 (361)
Son as guilty is denial of the Father so complete that	T 14 A 1 (362)
anything you understand is not of Him. T 14 A	T 14 A 1 (362)

teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It	T 14 A 3 (362)
true condition of the Son of God. It does not teach	T 14 A 3 (362)
you are remembering nothing. Remembrance of reality is in Him, and	T 14 A 3 (362)
the guilty are totally incapable of understanding one another. Each perceives	T 14 B 1 (362)
only He shares the knowledge of what you are with God	T 14 B 1 (363)
in communication with the Mind of God has never been. Communication	T 14 B 1 (363)

transformed into a radiant message of Gods Love, to share	T 14 B 2 (363)
the immutable. Leave the world of death behind, and return quietly	T 14 B 2 (363)
to Heaven. There is NOTHING of value here, and EVERYTHING of	T 14 B 2 (363)

B 5 The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right	T 14 B 5 (364)
the Kingdom is the right of Gods Son, given him	T 14 B 5 (364)
in answer to the call of the Atonement. Never allow purity	T 14 B 5 (364)
shine away the heavy veils of guilt within which the Son	T 14 B 5 (364)
guilt within which the Son of God has hidden himself from	T 14 B 5 (364)

this glad acknowledgment, for hope of happiness and release from suffering	T 14 B 6 (364)
happiness and release from suffering of every kind lies in it	T 14 B 6 (364)
but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet	T 14 B 6 (364)
attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to	T 14 B 6 (364)
14 B 7 Teachers of innocence, each in his own	T 14 B 7 (364)
part in the unified curriculum of the Atonement. There is no	T 14 B 7 (364)
Atonement. There is no unity of learning goals apart from this	T 14 B 7 (364)
offered for the single purpose of RELEASE from guilt, to the	T 14 B 7 (364)
guilt, to the eternal glory of God and His creation. And	T 14 B 7 (364)

see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only	T 14 B 8 (365)
be exempt from the effects of this most holy lesson, which	T 14 B 8 (365)
restore what is the right of Gods creation. From everyone	T 14 B 8 (365)
learn YOUR innocence. The circle of Atonement HAS no end. And	T 14 B 8 (365)
everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the	T 14 B 9 (365)
For peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity from which no	T 14 B 9 (365)

everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly	T 14 B 9 (365)
with you in the safety of its peace and holiness. Abide	T 14 B 9 (365)

As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look to them only	T 14 C 3 (367)
so no longer. Without protection of obscurity ONLY the light of	T 14 C 3 (367)
of obscurity ONLY the light of love remains, for only this	T 14 C 3 (367)
is not TRUE. The light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because	T 14 C 4 (367)
are brought TOGETHER, the truth of one MUST make the falsity	T 14 C 4 (367)
one MUST make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear. Keep	T 14 C 4 (367)
other is wholly without sense of ANY kind. T 14	T 14 C 4 (368)
re-interprets it as a means of re-establishing what has not been	T 14 C 5 (368)
separate from you. The power of decision, which you made IN	T 14 C 5 (368)
which you made IN PLACE of the power of creation, He	T 14 C 5 (368)
IN PLACE of the power of creation, He would teach you	T 14 C 5 (368)
to crucify yourselves must learn of Him how to apply it	T 14 C 5 (368)
it to the holy cause of restoration. T 14 C	T 14 C 5 (368)

of communication. If the purpose of language IS communication, how can	T 14 C 6 (368)
through NOT communicating holds enough of love to MAKE it meaningful	T 14 C 6 (368)
one is possible for purposes of --- Manuscript	T 14 C 7 (368)
it. Therefore, keep no source of interference from His sight, for	T 14 C 8 (369)
otherwise it becomes the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper	T 14 D 1 (370)
but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with truth	T 14 D 2 (370)
with fear. Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have	T 14 D 2 (370)
have erected your insane system of belief the truth lies hidden	T 14 D 2 (370)
they know. From their point of view, it is not true	T 14 D 3 (370)
These are clearly opposite viewpoints of what the unknowing are. To	T 14 D 3 (370)
is therefore not a point of view at all, but merely	T 14 D 3 (370)
creation was not a point of view, but rather a certainty	T 14 D 3 (370)
does not retain ANY conviction of reality. T 14 D	T 14 D 3 (370)
Dissociation is a distorted process of thinking whereby two systems of	T 14 D 4 (371)
of thinking whereby two systems of belief which cannot coexist are	T 14 D 4 (371)
joining thus becomes the source of fear, for if they meet	T 14 D 4 (371)
MUST be withdrawn from one of them. T 14 D	T 14 D 4 (371)
them TOGETHER, and the fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly	T 14 D 5 (371)
not defend itself. Defense is of YOUR making. God knows it	T 14 D 5 (371)
Spirit uses defenses on BEHALF of truth only because you made	T 14 D 5 (371)
them AGAINST it. His perception of them, according to His purpose	T 14 D 5 (371)
the Holy Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation	T 14 D 6 (371)
means of self-destruction to means of preservation and release. His task	T 14 D 6 (371)
is mighty, but the power of God is with Him. Therefore	T 14 D 6 (371)
only to the small extent of believing that, if He asks	T 14 D 6 (371)
The Holy Spirit asks of you but this; bring to	T 14 D 7 (371)
He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him	T 14 D 7 (372)
They CANNOT coexist when both of you together look on them	T 14 D 7 (372)
share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to knowledge	T 14 D 7 (372)
but from the gentle fusing of everything into ONE meaning, ONE	T 14 D 8 (372)
and in the dark denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors	T 14 D 9 (372)
nothing CAN obscure the gift of God. It is the closing	T 14 D 9 (372)
God. It is the closing of the doors that interferes with	T 14 D 9 (372)
doors that interferes with recognition of the power of God that	T 14 D 9 (372)
with recognition of the power of God that shines in you	T 14 D 9 (372)

it has cost you knowledge of Him and of yourselves. The	T 14 E 1 (375)

the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden	T 14 E 5 (376)
clear of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn	T 14 E 5 (376)
God will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection	T 14 E 5 (376)
Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can BE perceived upon	T 14 E 5 (376)
E 6 The reflection of God NEEDS no interpretation. It	T 14 E 6 (376)
a single instant, the power of healing that the reflection of	T 14 E 7 (376)
of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can	T 14 E 7 (376)
wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to receive	T 14 E 7 (376)
clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the	T 14 E 7 (376)
heals the world. The image of holiness which shines in your	T 14 E 7 (376)
E 8 The response of holiness to ANY form of	T 14 E 8 (376)
of holiness to ANY form of error is always the same	T 14 E 8 (376)
to offer only healing because of the reflection of holiness in	T 14 E 8 (377)
healing because of the reflection of holiness in them are ready	T 14 E 8 (377)
but rather the actual condition of what was but reflected to	T 14 E 8 (377)
and His creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them	T 14 E 8 (377)
and their own, the knowledge of creation must continue forever. The	T 14 F 1 (377)
you accept into the mirror of your minds in time but	T 14 F 1 (377)
beyond ALL time. Reach out of time and touch it, with	T 14 F 1 (377)
touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And	T 14 F 1 (377)
as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to lay	T 14 F 1 (377)
guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven HERE, and bring this	T 14 F 1 (377)
to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone TO truth	T 14 F 1 (377)
the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance	T 14 F 2 (377)
God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his Father dawns on him	T 14 F 2 (377)
on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the world you	T 14 F 2 (377)
live in IS a world of limits. In this world, it	T 14 F 2 (377)
true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The miracle	T 14 F 2 (377)
Teacher, Who brings the laws of another world to this one	T 14 F 2 (377)
in competition, and the number of them that you can do	T 14 F 3 (377)
to understand, once you conceive of them as possible at all	T 14 F 3 (377)
to grasp is the lack of order of difficulty which stamps	T 14 F 3 (377)
is the lack of order of difficulty which stamps	T 14 F 3 (377)
impossible. You have experienced lack of competition among your thoughts, which	T 14 F 3 (378)
also used to classifying some of your thoughts as more important	T 14 F 4 (378)
thoughts which cross the mind of those who think they live	T 14 F 4 (378)
apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while others are motivated	T 14 F 4 (378)
shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your mind, and the reflections	T 14 F 4 (378)
your mind, and the reflections of Heaven last but a moment	T 14 F 4 (378)
an instant, and alternating patterns of light and darkness sweep constantly	T 14 F 4 (378)
held together by a sense of order which YOU establish. Yet	T 14 F 5 (378)
and if it were all of you no order at all	T 14 F 5 (378)
show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that	T 14 F 5 (378)
that which requires no judgment of your own. The answer	T 14 F 6 (378)
is very simple. The power of God, and NOT of you	T 14 F 6 (379)
power of God, and NOT of you, engenders miracles. The miracle	T 14 F 6 (379)
that you have the power of God in you. That is	T 14 F 6 (379)
shares in it. The power of God is limitless. And being	T 14 F 6 (379)

division into two categories; one of love, and the other the	T 14 F 7 (379)

The ego is incapable of understanding content, and is totally	T 14 F 8 (379)
who believe you understand something of the dynamics of the mind	T 14 F 8 (379)
understand something of the dynamics of the mind, let me assure	T 14 F 8 (379)
you that you know nothing of it at all. For of	T 14 F 8 (379)
of it at all. For of yourselves you COULD not know	T 14 F 8 (379)
yourselves you COULD not know of it. The study of the	T 14 F 8 (379)
know of it. The study of the ego is NOT the	T 14 F 8 (379)
ego is NOT the study of the mind. In fact, the	T 14 F 8 (379)
the ego enjoys the study of itself, and thoroughly approves the	T 14 F 8 (379)
and thoroughly approves the undertakings of students who would analyze it	T 14 F 8 (379)
this fact behind a lot of words which sound impressive, but	T 14 F 8 (379)
9 This is characteristic of the egos judgments. Separately	T 14 F 9 (379)
them together, and the system of thought which arises from joining	T 14 F 9 (379)
meaning, and the underlying lack of content makes a cohesive system	T 14 F 9 (379)
no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of union	T 14 F 9 (380)
lack of content. The fact of union TELLS them it is	T 14 F 9 (380)
no secret communications, for everything of Him is perfectly open, and	T 14 F 11 (380)
more than these two orders of thought. T 14 F	T 14 F 11 (380)
give it to you because of what it IS. But where	T 14 F 12 (380)
YOU must give it because of what YOU are. Long ago	T 14 F 12 (380)
The miracle becomes the MEANS of sharing it. By supplying your	T 14 F 12 (380)
forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the	T 14 F 12 (380)
him. Nor will the power of ALL His Love be absent	T 14 F 12 (380)
can there be any order of difficulty among them?	T 14 F 12 (380)
G. The Test of Truth T	T 14 G 0 (381)
power, and all power is of God. You who have tried	T 14 G 1 (381)
between it and your AWARENESS of it that you cannot use	T 14 G 1 (381)
You have made a semblance of power and a show of	T 14 G 1 (381)
of power and a show of strength so pitiful that it	T 14 G 1 (381)
and truth is beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all that	T 14 G 1 (381)

If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and	T 14 G 6 (382)

of the goal and end of teaching. To the ego the	T 15 A 2 (386)
end. B. The Uses of Time T	T 15 B 0 (386)
The ego is an ally of time, but not a friend	T 15 B 1 (386)
For it is as mistrustful of death as it is of	T 15 B 1 (386)
of death as it is of life, and what it wants	T 15 B 1 (386)
but NOT itself. The outcome of its strange religion must therefore	T 15 B 1 (386)
beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to	T 15 B 1 (386)
Hell. It speaks to you of Heaven, but assures you that	T 15 B 1 (386)
not BELIEVE it. The goal of death, which it craves for	T 15 B 2 (386)
teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were	T 15 B 2 (387)
Yet if death were thought of merely as an end to	T 15 B 2 (387)
end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet because you	T 15 B 3 (387)
and because it cannot conceive of its OWN death, it will	T 15 B 3 (387)
is the egos version of immortality. And it is this	T 15 B 3 (387)
this the egos version of time supports. T 15	T 15 B 3 (387)
tries to take the life of someone who hears it temporarily	T 15 B 4 (387)
the ONLY voice, it speaks of Hell even to him. For	T 15 B 4 (387)
look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And	T 15 B 4 (387)
is the egos use of time! And how terrifying! For	T 15 B 5 (387)
the ego allows the fear of Hell to be experienced is	T 15 B 5 (387)
but always as a foretaste of the future. For no one	T 15 B 5 (387)
what the ego has made of the PRESENT. The belief in	T 15 B 6 (387)
present, because you are AFRAID of it. The Holy	T 15 B 6 (387)
in the egos use of time. For time, according to	T 15 B 6 (388)
Holy Spirit would undo all of this NOW. Fear is NOT	T 15 B 7 (388)
this NOW. Fear is NOT of the present, but only of	T 15 B 7 (388)
of the present, but only of the past and future, which	T 15 B 7 (388)
birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the past	T 15 B 7 (388)
and so clean and free of guilt that nothing but happiness	T 15 B 7 (388)

it as ALL THERE IS of time. Nothing can reach you	T 15 B 8 (388)
can reach you here out of the past, and it is	T 15 B 8 (388)
fear, and with no sense of change WITH time. T	T 15 B 8 (388)

for He has no need of more. It takes far longer	T 15 B 10 (389)
to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this	T 15 B 10 (389)
to give you the remembrance of eternity. T 15 B	T 15 B 10 (389)

Practice giving this blessed instant of freedom to all who are	T 15 B 11 (389)

giving. In the crystal cleanness of the release you give is	T 15 B 12 (389)
Long enough to transcend all of the egos making, and	T 15 B 12 (389)
caught in the single instant of the eternal sanctity of God	T 15 B 13 (390)
instant of the eternal sanctity of Gods creation, it is	T 15 B 13 (390)
you, in that shining instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle	T 15 B 13 (390)
perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the	T 15 B 13 (390)
is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by	T 15 C 1 (390)
offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time	T 15 C 1 (390)
far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For	T 15 C 1 (390)
and fear not the instant of holiness which will remove ALL	T 15 C 2 (390)
ALL fear. For the instant of peace is eternal BECAUSE it	T 15 C 2 (390)
do not perceive the Source of STRENGTH. In the holy instant	T 15 C 3 (391)
by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result	T 15 C 4 (391)
by THEIR reactions. A Son of God who has been released	T 15 C 4 (391)
given complete release. And because of this, you have not given	T 15 C 4 (391)
Him will speak so clearly of Him that you will hear	T 15 C 4 (391)
with perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in any	T 15 C 5 (391)
You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant, and will	T 15 C 5 (391)
for it is the practice of the power of God in	T 15 C 6 (392)
the practice of the power of God in you. Use it	T 15 C 6 (392)
Who can deny the Presence of what the universe bows to	T 15 C 6 (392)
and gladness? Before the recognition of the universe which witnesses to	T 15 C 6 (392)
You offered this in place of magnitude, and you ACCEPTED it	T 15 D 1 (393)
is a world made out of littleness, in the strange belief	T 15 D 1 (393)
choose one at the EXPENSE of the other. T 15	T 15 D 1 (393)
your choice is your evaluation of YOURSELF. Choose littleness and you	T 15 D 2 (393)
will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer	T 15 D 2 (393)
that there is no form of littleness that can EVER content	T 15 D 2 (393)
perfect awareness in a world of littleness is a task the	T 15 D 4 (394)
undertake. Yet it is asked of you, in tribute to your	T 15 D 4 (394)
littleness. Nor is it asked of you alone. T 15	T 15 D 4 (394)
D 5 The power of God will support every effort	T 15 D 5 (394)
effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for	T 15 D 5 (394)
and will bring you awareness of what you decided FOR. The	T 15 D 6 (394)
can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly and in	T 15 D 6 (394)
every little gift the world of littleness would offer you. But	T 15 D 6 (394)
by them into a sense of magnitude that can content them	T 15 D 7 (394)
honor is due the host of God. Your littleness deceives you	T 15 D 7 (394)
you, but your magnitude is of Him Who dwells in you	T 15 D 7 (394)
with littleness in the Name of Christ, eternal Host unto His	T 15 D 7 (394)
Christmas), which celebrates the birth of holiness into this world, join	T 15 D 7 (395)
TOGETHER to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom	T 15 D 7 (395)
littleness to give the gift of God, but NOT beyond YOU	T 15 D 7 (395)
that you MUST be worthy of the Prince of Peace, born	T 15 D 9 (395)
be worthy of the Prince of Peace, born in you in	T 15 D 9 (395)
born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are	T 15 D 9 (395)
in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little	T 15 D 9 (395)
slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when will you learn	T 15 D 9 (395)
you that you can learn of me. I would but teach	T 15 D 10 (395)
littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness	T 15 D 10 (395)
weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in	T 15 D 10 (395)
peace. My Kingdom is not of this world because it is	T 15 D 10 (395)
in YOU. And you are of your Father. Let us join	T 15 D 10 (395)
you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept	T 15 D 11 (396)
give, HAVING received. The host of God need not seek to	T 15 D 11 (396)
leave salvation to the plan of God, and unwilling to attempt	T 15 D 12 (396)
proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him	T 15 D 12 (396)
in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven	T 15 D 13 (396)
the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in	T 15 D 13 (396)
is forever on the side of His host, for it protects	T 15 D 13 (396)
reaches even to Heaven because of what is given it.	T 15 D 13 (396)
you peace. For peace is of God, and of no one	T 15 E 2 (397)
peace is of God, and of no one beside Him.	T 15 E 2 (397)
Him. And value no plan of the ego before the plan	T 15 E 3 (397)
the ego before the plan of God. For you leave empty	T 15 E 3 (397)
Every allegiance to a plan of salvation that is apart from	T 15 E 3 (397)
from Him diminishes the value of His Will for you in	T 15 E 3 (397)
accept me is the measure of the time in which the	T 15 E 5 (398)
from littleness in the mind of the host of God depends	T 15 E 5 (398)
the mind of the host of God depends on willingness, and	T 15 E 5 (398)
TRUTH is simple. Complexity is of the ego, and is nothing	T 15 E 5 (398)
Do not obscure the simplicity of this reason, for if you	T 15 E 6 (398)
with God Who surrounds ALL of you together.	T 15 E 7 (398)
EQUAL willingness, being the acceptance of the single Will that governs	T 15 E 8 (399)
would KEEP. Innocence is not of your making. It is given	T 15 E 9 (399)
anything MEANS. You are afraid of this because you believe that	T 15 F 1 (400)
to limit love to PART of the Sonship is to bring	T 15 F 2 (400)
to separate out certain aspects of the totality, and look to	T 15 F 2 (400)
For separation IS the source of guilt, and to appeal to	T 15 F 2 (400)
is to deny the Oneness of the Father and His Son	T 15 F 2 (400)
You cannot love parts of reality and understand what love	T 15 F 3 (400)
it is the complete EQUALITY of the Atonement in which salvation	T 15 F 3 (400)
you decide that special aspects of the Sonship can give you	T 15 F 3 (400)
15 F 4 Because of guilt, ALL special relationships have	T 15 F 4 (400)
special relationships have some elements of fear in them. And this	T 15 F 4 (400)
In His function as Interpreter of --- Manuscript	T 15 F 4 (400)
it arises from YOUR use of it. All the love from	T 15 F 5 (401)
attempt to substitute one aspect of love for another, you have	T 15 F 6 (401)
The egos use of relationships is so fragmented that	T 15 F 7 (401)
goes even farther; one part of one aspect suits its purposes	T 15 F 7 (401)
while it prefers different parts of another aspect. Thus does it	T 15 F 7 (401)
how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In	T 15 F 8 (401)
by bringing ALL perception out of the past, thus removing the	T 15 F 9 (402)
past, thus removing the frame of reference you have built by	T 15 F 9 (402)
Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame	T 15 F 9 (402)
reference for it. His frame of reference is simply God. The	T 15 F 9 (402)
in the holy instant, free of the past, you see that	T 15 F 9 (402)
one to you. The meaning of love is the meaning God	T 15 F 10 (402)
you can judge the Self of God? God has created It	T 15 F 11 (402)
created It BEYOND judgment, out of His need to extend His	T 15 F 11 (402)
instant there is no conflict of needs, for there is only	T 15 F 11 (402)
eternity, and to the Mind of God. And it is only	T 15 F 11 (402)
one relationship at the expense of another, and NOT suffer guilt	T 15 F 12 (403)
equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and find peace	T 15 F 12 (403)
faith in you, in place of all your doubt. But forget	T 15 F 13 (403)
that he is wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation	T 15 F 13 (403)
it, and in our appreciation of his worth, we CANNOT doubt	T 15 F 13 (403)
Holy Instant and the Laws of God T	T 15 G 0 (404)
Yet there is another interpretation of relationships which transcends the concept	T 15 G 1 (404)
relationships which transcends the concept of loss of power completely.	T 15 G 1 (404)
transcends the concept of loss of power completely. T 15	T 15 G 1 (404)
Answer to him, YOUR hope of answer is diminished. On the	T 15 G 2 (404)
as witness to the possibility of YOURS. That is because you	T 15 G 2 (404)
no conflict. In the world of scarcity love has no meaning	T 15 G 3 (404)
instant, you recognize the IDEA of love in you, and unite	T 15 G 3 (404)
in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind	T 15 G 3 (404)
is natural, under the laws of God. T 15 G	T 15 G 3 (404)
the holy instant the laws of God prevail, and only they	T 15 G 4 (404)
they have meaning. The laws of this world cease to hold	T 15 G 4 (404)
at all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of	T 15 G 4 (404)
of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly	T 15 G 4 (404)
has changed. Yet the AWARENESS of changelessness comes swiftly as the	T 15 G 5 (405)
comes swiftly as the veil of time is pushed aside. No	T 15 G 5 (405)
not yet experienced the lifting of the veil, and felt himself	T 15 G 5 (405)
you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy	T 15 G 5 (405)
the only need the aspects of the Son of God share	T 15 G 5 (405)
the aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by	T 15 G 5 (405)
Join me in the IDEA of peace, for in ideas minds	T 15 G 6 (405)
But remember that understanding is of the MIND, and ONLY of	T 15 G 6 (405)
of the MIND, and ONLY of the mind. Knowledge is therefore	T 15 G 6 (405)
the mind. Knowledge is therefore of the mind, and its conditions	T 15 G 6 (405)
something else TOGETHER, the language of communication, which you know perfectly	T 15 G 6 (405)
is remembered, and the language of communication with all your brothers	T 15 G 7 (405)
permits YOUR Source, and that of all your brothers, to replace	T 15 G 7 (405)
awareness. God and the power of God will take their rightful	T 15 G 7 (405)
the full communication of ideas with ideas. Through your	T 15 G 7 (406)
Beyond the poor attraction of the special love relationship, and	T 15 H 1 (407)
it, is the powerful attraction of the Father for His Son	T 15 H 1 (407)
3 The sick attraction of guilt must be recognized for	T 15 H 3 (407)
has value. Yet the attraction of guilt has value to you	T 15 H 3 (407)
your holy mind. The host of God CAN have no real	T 15 H 3 (407)
on an endless, unrewarding chain of special relationships, forged out of	T 15 H 4 (408)
of special relationships, forged out of anger, and dedicated to but	T 15 H 4 (408)
chain that binds the Son of God to guilt, and it	T 15 H 5 (408)
holy mind. For the chain of savagery belongs not around the	T 15 H 5 (408)
not around the chosen host of God, who CANNOT make himself	T 15 H 5 (408)
the ego. In the name of his release, and in the	T 15 H 5 (408)
release, and in the Name of Him Who would release him	T 15 H 5 (408)
Him. What HE can make of them you do not know	T 15 H 5 (408)
perceive what YOU have made of them. T 15 H	T 15 H 5 (408)
these insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not want	T 15 H 7 (408)
much stronger than the attraction of what you DO. For each	T 15 H 7 (408)
this sacrifice, which he demanded of HIMSELF, he demands the OTHER	T 15 H 7 (408)
be shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they	T 15 H 8 (409)
as they draw the body of another closer or farther. And	T 15 H 8 (409)
and sacrifice as the price of union. In their angry alliances	T 15 H 9 (409)
In their angry alliances, born of the fear of loneliness and	T 15 H 9 (409)
alliances, born of the fear of loneliness and yet dedicated to	T 15 H 9 (409)
yet dedicated to the CONTINUANCE of loneliness, they seek relief from	T 15 H 9 (409)
unconsciously, yet never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those	T 15 H 9 (409)
demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the ego	T 15 H 9 (409)
altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego	T 15 H 9 (409)
remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes the way	T 15 H 11 (410)
H 12 The illusion of the autonomy of the body	T 15 H 12 (410)
The illusion of the autonomy of the body and ITS ability	T 15 H 12 (410)
loneliness is but the working of the egos plan to	T 15 H 12 (410)
that communication is the CAUSE of loneliness. And despite the evident	T 15 H 12 (410)
And despite the evident insanity of this lesson, you have LEARNED	T 15 H 12 (410)
do so, for the power of God in Him AND you	T 15 H 13 (410)
your completion, in sudden recognition of the value of his part	T 15 H 14 (411)
sudden recognition of the value of his part in it. In	T 15 H 14 (411)
in it. In the protection of YOUR wholeness, all are invited	T 15 H 14 (411)
with every sign or token of your willingness to learn of	T 15 I 1 (412)
of your willingness to learn of Him what the truth must	T 15 I 1 (412)
you offer Him on behalf of this. His concern and care	T 15 I 1 (412)
are limitless. In the face of your FEAR of forgiveness, which	T 15 I 1 (412)
the face of your FEAR of forgiveness, which He perceives as	T 15 I 1 (412)
Hear Him gladly, and learn of Him that you have need	T 15 I 2 (412)
Him that you have need of no special relationships at all	T 15 I 2 (412)
will never learn the value of what you have cast aside	T 15 I 2 (412)
Son has such great need of your willingness to strive for	T 15 I 2 (412)
this that you cannot conceive of need so great. Behold the	T 15 I 2 (412)
alone in this. The will of your creations call to you	T 15 I 2 (412)
can never leave. The loneliness of Gods Son is the	T 15 I 3 (412)
s Son is the loneliness of his Father. Refuse not the	T 15 I 3 (412)
Father. Refuse not the awareness of your completion, and seek not	T 15 I 3 (412)
CANNOT fail. Accept YOUR sense of failure as nothing more than	T 15 I 3 (412)
are. For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and	T 15 I 3 (412)
universe. And this universe, being of God, is far beyond the	T 15 I 4 (413)
far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies YOU	T 15 I 4 (413)
their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His Father	T 15 I 4 (413)
s attempt to free you of what He does not understand	T 15 I 5 (413)
does not understand. And because of the Source of the attempt	T 15 I 5 (413)
And because of the Source of the attempt, it will SUCCEED	T 15 I 5 (413)
Him alone lies the awareness of what God cannot know, and	T 15 I 6 (413)
and by removing every element of disagreement, to join them into	T 15 I 6 (413)
because it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose	T 15 I 6 (413)
Him Whose teaching is ONLY of God teach you the ONLY	T 15 I 6 (413)
teach you the ONLY meaning of relationships. For God created the	T 15 I 6 (413)
ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body	T 15 I 7 (414)
as possible, the necessary process of looking straight at all the	T 15 I 8 (414)
The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego	T 15 I 8 (414)
the ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are	T 15 I 8 (414)
to have meaning, and DEPRIVED of meaning it will not satisfy	T 15 I 8 (414)
body in awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is given	T 15 I 9 (414)
and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his body	T 15 I 10 (515)
the Holy Spirit tell you of the Love of God for	T 15 I 11 (515)
tell you of the Love of God for you, and the	T 15 I 11 (515)
you would experience the attraction of the eternal. No one can	T 15 I 11 (515)
one can hear Him speak of this and long remain willing	T 15 I 11 (515)
can offer you the gift of freedom. T 15 I	T 15 I 11 (515)
You have no conception of the limits you have placed	T 15 I 12 (515)
your perception, and no idea of all the loveliness that you	T 15 I 12 (515)
you must remember; the attraction of guilt OPPOSES the attraction of	T 15 I 12 (515)
of guilt OPPOSES the attraction of God. His attraction for you	T 15 I 12 (515)
And limit not your vision of Gods Son to what	T 15 I 12 (515)
the body ONLY for purposes of communication, and renounce its use	T 15 I 13 (416)
learn you have no need of a body at all. In	T 15 I 13 (416)
you experience only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided	T 15 I 13 (416)
union WITH Him. The reality of this relationship becomes the only	T 15 I 13 (416)
J. The Time of Christ T	T 15 J 0 (417)
to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son	T 15 J 1 (417)
in this world, the attraction of guilt DOES stand between them	T 15 J 1 (417)
only gift I can accept of you is the gift I	T 15 J 1 (417)
will YOUR release. The time of Christ we celebrate TOGETHER, for	T 15 J 1 (417)
instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating	T 15 J 2 (417)
is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited power	T 15 J 2 (417)
me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is	T 15 J 2 (417)
and every sacrifice you ask of yourself you ask of me	T 15 J 2 (417)
ask of yourself you ask of me. Learn NOW that sacrifice	T 15 J 2 (417)
me. Learn NOW that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but	T 15 J 2 (417)
limitation you have limited acceptance of the gift I offer YOU	T 15 J 2 (417)
union you will accept ALL of our brothers. The gift of	T 15 J 3 (417)
of our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift	T 15 J 3 (417)
may have it. The time of Christ is the time appointed	T 15 J 3 (417)
time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to everyone. And	T 15 J 3 (417)
everyone. And by YOUR acceptance of it, you have OFFERED it	T 15 J 3 (417)
power to make the time of Christ be NOW. T	T 15 J 3 (417)
the PRINCIPLE which governs all of them. When you are willing	T 15 J 4 (418)
separate, but as different manifestations of the SAME idea, and one	T 15 J 4 (418)
nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love is so	T 15 J 5 (418)
profound that you cannot conceive of love WITHOUT sacrifice. And it	T 15 J 5 (418)
this ONE idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt CANNOT	T 15 J 5 (418)
CANNOT last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed. For	T 15 J 5 (418)
seems to be demanding it of YOU. For you are unwilling	T 15 J 6 (418)
that guilt is the PRICE of love, which must be paid	T 15 J 7 (418)
ego seems to demand less of you than God, and of	T 15 J 7 (419)
of you than God, and of the two is judged as	T 15 J 7 (419)
is judged as the lesser of two evils, one to be	T 15 J 7 (419)
part, but with the idea of being able to be neither	T 15 J 7 (419)
you demand sacrifice, and ONLY of yourself. Yet the demand of	T 15 J 8 (419)
of yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so savage and	T 15 J 8 (419)
is. But the REAL price of not accepting this has been	T 15 J 8 (419)
God would demand total sacrifice of you, you thought it safer	T 15 J 8 (419)
and DOES demand total sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice will	T 15 J 8 (419)
yet it is the recognition of the decision, JUST AS IT	T 15 J 9 (419)
easy! Salvation is simple being of God, and therefore very easy	T 15 J 9 (419)
for sacrifice and the peace of God. ---	T 15 J 9 (419)
K. The End of Sacrifice T	T 15 K 0 (420)
to recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as SOLELY of your	T 15 K 1 (420)
idea of sacrifice as SOLELY of your making. And seek not	T 15 K 1 (420)
think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer	T 15 K 1 (420)
you have no more need of sleep. T 15 K	T 15 K 1 (420)
K 2 The sign of Christmas is a star, a	T 15 K 2 (420)
as the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes	T 15 K 2 (420)
comes demanding NOTHING. No sacrifice of any kind, of anyone, is	T 15 K 2 (420)
No sacrifice of any kind, of anyone, is asked by Him	T 15 K 2 (420)
His Presence, the whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For	T 15 K 2 (420)
Him welcome, for the Presence of holiness CREATES the holiness which	T 15 K 2 (420)
cradles God in the time of Christ, for the Host is	T 15 K 2 (420)
peace. Guilt is the CONDITION of sacrifice, as peace is the	T 15 K 4 (421)
the condition for the awareness of your relationship with God. Through	T 15 K 4 (421)
out, though it was part of you. Who can perceive part	T 15 K 4 (421)
you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome, and live	T 15 K 4 (421)
to resolve the perceived conflict of Heaven and hell in him	T 15 K 4 (421)
and giving it the attributes of Hell, without experiencing himself as	T 15 K 4 (421)
perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing others	T 15 K 5 (421)
Creator aside WITHOUT a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who	T 15 K 5 (421)
this yourselves, when the basis of your attempts is the belief	T 15 K 5 (421)
the belief in the REALITY of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds	T 15 K 5 (421)
still RECOGNIZE it. The meaning of love lies in what you	T 15 K 6 (421)
AWAY holds all the meaning of the universe, and holds the	T 15 K 6 (421)
the holy instant the condition of love is met, for minds	T 15 K 7 (422)
there is peace. The Prince of Peace was born to re-establish	T 15 K 7 (422)
born to re-establish the condition of love by teaching that communication	T 15 K 7 (422)
body as the NECESSARY means of communication. And if you understand	T 15 K 7 (422)
and communication, which MUST be of the mind, cannot BE sacrificed	T 15 K 7 (422)
peace it re-establishes love comes of itself. Let no despair darken	T 15 K 8 (422)
no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of	T 15 K 8 (422)
of Christmas, for the time of Christ is meaningless apart from	T 15 K 8 (422)
peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you	T 15 K 8 (422)
to perceive we are deprived of NOTHING? Such is the message	T 15 K 8 (422)
NOTHING? Such is the message of the time of Christ, which	T 15 K 8 (422)
the message of the time of Christ, which I give you	T 15 K 8 (422)

Chapter 16 - THE FORGIVENESS OF ILLUSIONS A. Introduction	T 16 0 0 (424)
is the EGOS interpretation of empathy, and is always used	T 16 A 1 (424)
applied only to certain types of problems, and in certain people	T 16 A 2 (424)
know what empathizing means. Yet of this you may be sure	T 16 A 2 (424)
empathize with STRENGTH, and BOTH of you will gain in strength	T 16 A 2 (424)
anything YOU value to come of the relationship. You will neither	T 16 A 3 (424)
is. All you have learned of empathy is from the PAST	T 16 A 3 (424)
and do not lose sight of it, however tempted you may	T 16 A 3 (424)
1 True empathy is of Him Who knows what it	T 16 B 1 (425)
You will learn His interpretation of it if you let Him	T 16 B 1 (425)
the egos triumphant use of empathy for ITS glory.	T 16 B 1 (425)
B 2 The triumph of weakness is not what you	T 16 B 2 (425)
not knowledge, and the form of empathy that would bring this	T 16 B 2 (425)
B 3 The meaning of love is lost in any	T 16 B 3 (425)
find love there. The power of love, which IS its meaning	T 16 B 3 (425)
meaning, lies in the strength of God, which hovers over it	T 16 B 3 (425)
brother asks a foolish thing of you to do it. But	T 16 B 3 (425)
because they contain an element of specialness. Only the Holy Spirit	T 16 B 3 (425)
that, by meeting the needs of one you do not jeopardize	T 16 B 4 (426)
whole Sonship, NOT for part of it. Leave Him His function	T 16 B 4 (426)
C. The Magnitude of Holiness T	T 16 C 0 (427)
yourselves not with the extension of holiness, for the nature of	T 16 C 1 (427)
of holiness, for the nature of miracles you do not understand	T 16 C 1 (427)
to be miraculous, being part of them. T 16 C	T 16 C 1 (427)
be concerned about the truth of just a little part of	T 16 C 2 (427)
of just a little part of the whole. And this is	T 16 C 2 (427)
this is but a way of avoiding, or LOOKING AWAY from	T 16 C 2 (427)
more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You do	T 16 C 2 (427)
cannot understand it. The recognition of the part as whole, and	T 16 C 3 (427)
the part as whole, and of the whole in every part	T 16 C 3 (427)
show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles is quite	T 16 C 3 (427)
for it involves a contradiction of what miracles mean. And if	T 16 C 3 (427)
first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one has	T 16 C 4 (428)
knows how, His natural perception of your gift enables HIM to	T 16 C 4 (428)
is impossible to convince you of the reality of what has	T 16 C 4 (428)
convince you of the reality of what has clearly BEEN accomplished	T 16 C 4 (428)
You think your lack of understanding is a LOSS to	T 16 C 5 (428)
Spirit, and in the effects of His teaching, if you were	T 16 C 5 (428)
safer in maintaining the unreality of what has happened than you	T 16 C 6 (428)
to you. Let His understanding of the miracle be enough for	T 16 C 6 (428)
No evidence will convince you of the truth of what you	T 16 C 7 (428)
convince you of the truth of what you do not want	T 16 C 7 (428)
a little while. The host of God has called to you	T 16 C 7 (429)
This is a year of joy, in which your listening	T 16 C 8 (429)
with its increase. The power of holiness and the WEAKNESS of	T 16 C 8 (429)
of holiness and the WEAKNESS of attack have BOTH been brought	T 16 C 8 (429)
that your Teacher is NOT of you? But remember also that	T 16 C 8 (429)
Would you prefer the results of YOUR interpretation, considering honestly what	T 16 C 8 (429)
have many witnesses which speak of It so clearly that only	T 16 C 9 (429)
TOGETHER, and made SENSE of them? T 16 C	T 16 C 10 (430)

D. The Reward of Teaching T	T 16 D 0 (431)
how to ACCEPT the comfort of your teaching. If you will	T 16 D 1 (431)
done so from the basis of a very different thought system	T 16 D 1 (431)
which spoke for the cause of truth and ITS effects.	T 16 D 2 (431)
impossible that conviction be OUTSIDE of you. You could never have	T 16 D 3 (431)
the Holy Spirit is part of YOU. Created by God, He	T 16 D 5 (432)
they will take the place of what you took in to	T 16 D 5 (432)
are quite real, as part of the Self you do not	T 16 D 5 (432)
offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their home	T 16 D 5 (432)
has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is	T 16 D 5 (432)
suffer for it, the joy of teaching will yet be yours	T 16 D 7 (433)
be yours. For the joy of teaching is in the LEARNER	T 16 D 7 (433)
is YOU, and nothing outside of this IS you. T	T 16 D 7 (433)
some little effort on behalf of bridging it. His little efforts	T 16 D 8 (433)
powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven, and by the united	T 16 D 8 (433)
and by the united will of all who make Heaven what	T 16 D 8 (433)
no fear that the attraction of those who stand on the	T 16 D 9 (433)

not to know the meaning of love, except for this. For	T 16 E 1 (434)
relationship, in which the meaning of love is LOST, is undertaken	T 16 E 1 (434)
drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to	T 16 E 1 (434)
meaningless to you. The extent of the split that lies in	T 16 E 1 (434)
E 2 The symbols of hate against the symbols of	T 16 E 2 (434)
of hate against the symbols of love play out a conflict	T 16 E 2 (434)
something ELSE, and the symbol of love is without meaning if	T 16 E 2 (434)
to peace. For the illusion of love will NEVER satisfy, but	T 16 E 2 (434)
to limit the destructive effects of hate by finding a haven	T 16 E 3 (434)
a haven in the storm of guilt. It makes no attempt	T 16 E 3 (434)
itself, but as a place of safety from which hatred is	T 16 E 3 (434)
is welcome in SOME aspects of the relationship, but it is	T 16 E 3 (434)
held together by the illusion of love. If the	T 16 E 3 (434)
becomes unsatisfying on the grounds of disillusionment. T 16 E	T 16 E 3 (435)
as partners in any aspect of living, and use them for	T 16 E 4 (435)
with guilt rather than DIE of it. This is the choice	T 16 E 4 (435)
when they find the fear of death is still upon them	T 16 E 4 (435)
There are no triumphs of love. Only hate is concerned	T 16 E 5 (435)
is concerned with the triumph of love at all. The illusion	T 16 E 5 (435)
love at all. The illusion of love CAN triumph over the	T 16 E 5 (435)
CAN triumph over the illusion of hate, but always at the	T 16 E 5 (435)
but always at the price of making BOTH illusions. As long	T 16 E 5 (435)
As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will	T 16 E 5 (435)
the decision MUST be one of despair. T 16 E	T 16 E 5 (435)
to seek and find ALL of the barriers within yourself which	T 16 E 6 (435)
false. Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes	T 16 E 6 (435)
hatred within and are AFRAID of it. Yet peace will never	T 16 E 6 (435)
never come from the illusion of love, but ONLY from its	T 16 E 6 (435)
in fear. In fundamental violation of loves one condition, the	T 16 E 7 (436)
in union WITH them. Acceptance of your creations is the acceptance	T 16 E 8 (436)
your creations is the acceptance of the oneness of creation, without	T 16 E 8 (436)
the acceptance of the oneness of creation, without which you could	T 16 E 8 (436)
to cross to the abode of peace and perfect holiness. Only	T 16 E 9 (436)
Only there is the completion of God and of His Son	T 16 E 9 (436)
the completion of God and of His Son established forever. Seek	T 16 E 9 (436)
this in the bleak world of illusion, where nothing is certain	T 16 E 9 (436)
to satisfy. In the Name of God, be wholly willing to	T 16 E 9 (436)
attainable removes your own sense of completion, and thus denies the	T 16 E 10 (437)
and thus denies the Wholeness of your Father. Every fantasy, be	T 16 E 10 (437)
Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, deprives you	T 16 E 10 (437)
love or hate, deprives you of knowledge, for fantasies are the	T 16 E 10 (437)

stay. Hear not the call of hate, and see no fantasies	T 16 E 11 (437)

OTHER guilty. We have spoken of this before, but there are	T 16 F 1 (439)
but there are some aspects of what is really being attempted	T 16 F 1 (439)
to relinquish guilt. The dynamics of the ego are clearest here	T 16 F 2 (439)
for counting on the attraction of this offering, the fantasies which	T 16 F 2 (439)
This IS the natural condition of the separation, and those who	T 16 F 3 (439)
this world IS the opposite of Heaven, being MADE to be	T 16 F 3 (439)
takes a direction exactly opposite of what is true. In Heaven	T 16 F 3 (439)
In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is	T 16 F 3 (439)
UNION. Here, where the illusion of love is accepted in love	T 16 F 3 (439)
in the special relationship, born of the hidden wish for special	T 16 F 4 (439)
special relationship is the RENUNCIATION of the love of God, and	T 16 F 4 (439)
the RENUNCIATION of the love of God, and the attempt to	T 16 F 4 (439)
440) preservation of the ego that you believe	T 16 F 4 (440)
and then in the extension of union. To the ego, completion	T 16 F 5 (440)
triumph, and in the extension of the victory even to the	T 16 F 5 (440)
it sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for nothing would	T 16 F 5 (440)
IT. This IS its idea of Heaven. From this it follows	T 16 F 5 (440)
to find the imagined best of both worlds has merely led	T 16 F 6 (440)
has merely led to fantasies of both, and to the inability	T 16 F 6 (440)
special relationship is the triumph of this confusion. It is a	T 16 F 6 (440)
confusion. It is a kind of union from which union is	T 16 F 6 (440)
better example could there be of the egos maxim, Seek	T 16 F 6 (440)
F 7 Most curious of all is the concept of	T 16 F 7 (440)
of all is the concept of the self which the ego	T 16 F 7 (440)
trade itself for the self of another. This is not union	T 16 F 7 (440)
feels guilty for the sin of taking, and of giving nothing	T 16 F 7 (440)
the sin of taking, and of giving nothing of value in	T 16 F 7 (440)
taking, and of giving nothing of value in return. For how	T 16 F 7 (440)
with the egos illusion of Heaven, which it offered him	T 16 F 8 (441)
Yet if all illusions are of fear, and they CAN be	T 16 F 8 (441)
fear, and they CAN be of nothing else, the illusion of	T 16 F 8 (441)
of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than	T 16 F 8 (441)
more than an attractive form of fear, in which the guilt	T 16 F 8 (441)
and rises in the form of love. T 16 F	T 16 F 8 (441)
F 9 The appeal of Hell lies only in the	T 16 F 9 (441)
only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego holds	T 16 F 9 (441)
faith in littleness. The conviction of littleness lies in EVERY special	T 16 F 9 (441)
for specialness, and the perception of the giving of specialness as	T 16 F 9 (441)
the perception of the giving of specialness as an act of	T 16 F 9 (441)
of specialness as an act of love, would make love HATEFUL	T 16 F 9 (441)
HATEFUL. And the real purpose of the special relationship, in strict	T 16 F 9 (441)
it? Let us not think of its fearful nature, nor of	T 16 F 10 (441)
of its fearful nature, nor of the guilt it must entail	T 16 F 10 (441)
guilt it must entail, nor of the sadness and the loneliness	T 16 F 10 (441)
For these are only attributes of the whole religion of the	T 16 F 10 (441)
attributes of the whole religion of the separation, and of the	T 16 F 10 (441)
religion of the separation, and of the total context in which	T 16 F 10 (441)
special relationship. Through the death of YOUR self, you think you	T 16 F 10 (441)
unworthy because you are AFRAID of it. ---	T 16 F 10 (441)
weak and little, and unworthy of value, you would not dare	T 16 F 11 (442)
be completed. For the ritual of completion CANNOT complete, and life	T 16 F 11 (442)
12 Whenever any form of special relationship tempts you to	T 16 F 12 (442)
is CONTENT, and not form of ANY kind. The special relationship	T 16 F 12 (442)
special relationship is a RITUAL of form, aimed at the raising	T 16 F 12 (442)
form, aimed at the raising of the form to take the	T 16 F 12 (442)
form to take the place of God at the EXPENSE of	T 16 F 12 (442)
of God at the EXPENSE of content. There IS no meaning	T 16 F 12 (442)
is extracted from the death of God, and invested in His	T 16 F 12 (442)
up, in which the dance of death delights you, can bring	T 16 F 13 (442)
chosen substitute for the Wholeness of God have any influence at	T 16 F 13 (442)
His GREATNESS. In the name of your completion, you do not	T 16 F 13 (442)
stands before YOU, in place of what you ARE.	T 16 F 13 (442)
F 15 The core of the separation delusion lies simply	T 16 F 15 (443)
lies simply in the FANTASY of destruction of loves meaning	T 16 F 15 (443)
in the FANTASY of destruction of loves meaning. And unless	T 16 F 15 (443)
it is unlike the relationship of God and His Son, and	T 16 G 1 (444)
from it. For the love of God, no longer seek for	T 16 G 2 (444)
protecting you from the attraction of guilt, the real lure in	T 16 G 2 (444)
and for limiting your perception of others to THEIRS. The great	T 16 G 3 (444)
would establish the total LACK of value of the special relationship	T 16 G 3 (444)
the total LACK of value of the special relationship, if they	T 16 G 3 (444)
4 On this side of the bridge, you see the	T 16 G 4 (444)
bridge, you see the world of separate bodies, seeking to join	T 16 G 4 (444)
the ego wants but PART of him, and sees ONLY this	T 16 G 4 (445)
crossed the bridge, the value of the body is so diminished	T 16 G 5 (445)
a transition in your perspective of reality. On this side, everything	T 16 G 6 (445)
grossly distorted and completely out of perspective. What is little and	T 16 G 6 (445)
transition there is a period of confusion, in which a sense	T 16 G 6 (445)
confusion, in which a sense of actual disorientation seems to occur	T 16 G 6 (445)
hold on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold	T 16 G 6 (445)
your world together. This frame of reference is built around the	T 16 G 6 (445)
without a frame of reference. The period of disorientation	T 16 G 7 (446)
frame of reference. The period of disorientation, which precedes the actual	T 16 G 7 (446)
longer find even the ILLUSION of love in any special relationship	T 16 G 7 (446)
you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for what it IS	T 16 G 7 (446)
special relationship is REALLY part of you. And you cannot keep	T 16 G 8 (446)
And you cannot keep part of the thought system which taught	T 16 G 8 (446)
You HAVE allowed the Thought of your reality to enter your	T 16 G 8 (446)
you have escaped the mockery of salvation which the ego offered	T 16 G 9 (446)
on the travesty it made of your relationships. Now no one	T 16 G 9 (446)
to yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of	T 16 G 9 (446)
of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane	T 16 G 9 (446)
very dangerous. See no illusion of truth and beauty there. And	T 16 G 9 (446)
over will be the understanding of where Heaven IS. From here	T 16 G 10 (446)
gave up NOTHING! The joy of Heaven, which has no limit	T 16 G 10 (446)
no longer, for the love of God and YOU. And may	T 16 G 10 (447)
asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander	T 16 G 11 (447)
share with Him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness	T 16 G 11 (447)
there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release	T 16 G 11 (447)
H. The End of Illusions T	T 16 H 0 (448)
such choice is made because of something evil in the past	T 16 H 1 (448)
experienced in the present. Shades of the past envelop it, and	T 16 H 2 (448)
think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do	T 16 H 2 (448)
Do not underestimate the intensity of the egos drive for	T 16 H 3 (448)
offended it, and seeks retribution of YOU. The fantasies it brings	T 16 H 3 (448)
out its hate are fantasies of YOUR destruction. For the ego	T 16 H 3 (448)
past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it believes that	T 16 H 3 (448)
does not contain the dream of retribution for the past. Would	T 16 H 4 (449)
to be an acting out of vengeance which you seek. And	T 16 H 5 (449)
through into awareness, the illusion of love is not profoundly shaken	T 16 H 5 (449)
relationship is the acting out of vengeance on YOURSELF. But what	T 16 H 5 (449)
the egos insane notion of salvation the Holy Spirit gently	T 16 H 6 (449)
holy instant is the OPPOSITE of the egos fixed belief	T 16 H 6 (449)
The stillness and the peace of NOW enfolds you in perfect	T 16 H 6 (449)
to hinder your full awareness of the COMPLETE difference, in all	T 16 H 7 (449)
all respects, between your experience of truth and illusion. Yet you	T 16 H 7 (449)
the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail	T 16 H 7 (449)
you will weaken the experience of Him for a while, and	T 16 H 7 (449)
IS eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent the	T 16 H 7 (450)
anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of ANY kind. Release	T 16 H 9 (450)
He is incapable of illusions of ANY kind. Release your brothers	T 16 H 9 (450)
your brothers from the slavery of their illusions by forgiving them	T 16 H 9 (450)
to you the true condition of Heaven. T 16 H	T 16 H 9 (450)
which would destroy. The power of God and all His Love	T 16 H 10 (450)
your place in the plan of Atonement arising from His Love	T 16 H 10 (450)
His Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego	T 16 H 10 (450)
all illusions for the reality of your relationship with God. Praise	T 16 H 11 (451)
Yours is perfect? The sleep of forgetfulness is only the unwillingness	T 16 H 12 (451)
into temptation, for the temptation of the Son of God is	T 16 H 12 (451)
the temptation of the Son of God is not Your Will	T 16 H 12 (451)
A 1 The betrayal of the Son of God lies	T 17 A 1 (452)
The betrayal of the Son of God lies only in illusions	T 17 A 1 (452)
are what they are BECAUSE of their illusion of reality. Only	T 17 A 1 (452)
are BECAUSE of their illusion of reality. Only in waking is	T 17 A 1 (452)
to two masters who ask of you conflicting things. What you	T 17 A 2 (452)
that there must be order of difficulty in miracles, all you	T 17 B 1 (452)
truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power that	T 17 B 1 (452)
wish to retain some aspects of reality for fantasy. If you	T 17 B 1 (452)
must do to your appreciation of the whole! What you reserve	T 17 B 1 (452)
so long will the illusion of order of difficulty in miracles	T 17 B 2 (452)
will the illusion of order of difficulty in miracles remain with	T 17 B 2 (452)
in reality by giving some of it to one teacher, and	T 17 B 2 (452)
learn to deal with part of truth in one way, and	T 17 B 2 (453)
by rendering it meaningless. Orders of reality is a perspective without	T 17 B 2 (453)
perspective without understanding, a frame of reference for reality to which	T 17 B 2 (453)
truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth HAS no meaning	T 17 B 3 (453)
meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its meaning must	T 17 B 3 (453)
truth, or you establish orders of reality which must imprison you	T 17 B 3 (453)
disturbed and lose your peace of mind because ANOTHER is attempting	T 17 B 4 (453)
And you are holding BOTH of you away from truth and	T 17 B 4 (453)
what was denied by BOTH of you. And you will see	T 17 B 4 (453)
you even a little part of the happiness this sight will	T 17 C 1 (454)
you will see the Son of God. You will behold the	T 17 C 1 (454)
it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this	T 17 C 2 (454)
is still the greatest accomplishment of all in Gods plan	T 17 C 3 (454)
all in Gods plan of Atonement. All else is learned	T 17 C 3 (454)
have made, with the blessing of your forgiveness on it. And	T 17 C 3 (454)
And with this final blessing of Gods Son upon HIMSELF	T 17 C 3 (454)
HIMSELF, the real perception, born of the new perspective he has	T 17 C 3 (454)
possible will occur. The perception of the real world will be	T 17 C 4 (455)
simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you	T 17 C 5 (455)
WITHOUT forgiveness. The Great Transformer of perception will undertake with you	T 17 C 5 (455)
with you the careful searching of the mind that made this	T 17 C 5 (455)
making it. In the light of the REAL reason which He	T 17 C 5 (455)
seemed ugly in the darkness of your lack of reason is	T 17 C 5 (455)
the darkness of your lack of reason is suddenly released to	T 17 C 5 (455)
Not even what the Son of God made in insanity could	T 17 C 5 (455)
be without a hidden spark of beauty which gentleness could release	T 17 C 5 (455)
smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of	T 17 C 6 (455)
of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of God	T 17 C 6 (455)
blade of grass a sign of Gods perfection. From the	T 17 C 6 (455)
the forgiven world, the Son of God is lifted easily into	T 17 C 6 (455)
For salvation IS the end of dreams, and with the closing	T 17 C 6 (455)
dreams, and with the closing of the dream will have no	T 17 C 6 (455)
T(456) of salvation? T 17 C	T 17 C 6 (456)
BE given you. The eagerness of the Holy Spirit to give	T 17 C 7 (456)
with him in trust out of this world, and into the	T 17 C 7 (456)
and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness.	T 17 C 7 (456)
D. Shadows of the Past	T 17 C 7 (457)
would make immortal are enemies of reality. Be willing to forgive	T 17 C 1 (457)
willing to forgive the Son of God for what he did	T 17 C 1 (457)
enable you to think guiltily of another and NOT harm yourself	T 17 C 2 (457)
as their PURPOSE, the exclusion of the truth about the other	T 17 C 3 (457)
truth about the other, and of YOURSELF. This is why you	T 17 C 3 (457)
is not there, and make of both the slaves of vengeance	T 17 C 3 (457)
make of both the slaves of vengeance. And why whatever reminds	T 17 C 3 (457)
And why whatever reminds you of your past grievances, no matter	T 17 C 3 (457)
to go by the name of love. And finally, why all	T 17 C 3 (457)
it is not the body of the OTHER with which union	T 17 C 4 (458)
is attempted, but the bodies of those who are not THERE	T 17 C 4 (458)
not THERE. Even the body of the other, already a severely	T 17 C 4 (458)
already a severely limited perception of him, is not the central	T 17 C 4 (458)
can be used for fantasies of vengeance, and what can be	T 17 C 4 (458)
as being the only parts of value. Every step taken in	T 17 C 4 (458)
maintaining and the breaking off of the unholy relationship is a	T 17 C 4 (458)
used for gentleness. The attraction of the unholy relationship begins to	T 17 C 5 (458)
those which have been dreamed of, but have not been made	T 17 C 5 (458)
to intrude upon the dream of happiness. Yet consider what this	T 17 C 5 (458)
D 6 The ideal of the unholy relationship thus becomes	T 17 C 6 (458)
one in which the reality of the other does not enter	T 17 C 6 (458)
at union becomes a way of excluding even the one with	T 17 C 6 (458)
formed to get him OUT of it, and join with fantasies	T 17 C 6 (458)
T(459) of the body as a means	T 17 C 6 (459)
the body as a means of Communication into relationships whose only	T 17 C 6 (459)
its VALUE in your perception of it. In these loving thoughts	T 17 C 7 (459)
loving thoughts is the spark of beauty hidden in the ugliness	T 17 C 7 (459)
beauty hidden in the ugliness of the unholy relationship in which	T 17 C 7 (459)
past, which is the SOURCE of separation, and where it must	T 17 C 7 (459)
seeks and FINDS the source of problems where it IS, and	T 17 C 8 (459)
Him uncover the hidden spark of beauty in your relationships, and	T 17 C 8 (459)
ever to lose the sight of it again. And you will	T 17 C 8 (459)
CANNOT break apart. The spark of holiness MUST be safe, however	T 17 C 9 (459)
every relationship. For the Creator of the one relationship has left	T 17 C 9 (459)
relationship has left no part of it without Himself.	T 17 C 9 (459)
This is the ONLY part of the relationship the Holy Spirit	T 17 C 9 (460)
as NOW. Yet the frame of reference to which the present	T 17 C 10 (460)
for meaning is an ILLUSION of the past, in which those	T 17 C 10 (460)
elements which fit the purpose of the unholy alliance are retained	T 17 C 10 (460)
but witnesses to the reality of dreams. T 17 D	T 17 C 10 (460)
you value more. The spark of beauty or the veil of	T 17 C 11 (460)
of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or	T 17 C 11 (460)
real world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or	T 17 C 11 (460)
they ARE. Only the Thoughts of God are true. And all	T 17 C 11 (460)
bring reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not	T 17 C 12 (460)
you and your goal of madness. Be not separate from	T 17 C 12 (461)
let not the holy purpose of Atonement be lost to you	T 17 C 12 (461)
lost to you in dreams of vengeance. Relationships in which such	T 17 C 12 (461)
me enter in the Name of God, and bring you peace	T 17 C 12 (461)
is its only function. Because of His reason for creating His	T 17 E 1 (462)
relationship with you, the function of relationships became forever to make	T 17 E 1 (462)
Spirit would not DEPRIVE you of your special relationships, but would	T 17 E 2 (462)
Will, and glorifies yours instead of His because of the delusion	T 17 E 2 (462)
yours instead of His because of the delusion that they are	T 17 E 2 (462)
its fundamental purpose, the aim of occupying your minds so completely	T 17 E 3 (462)
will not HEAR the call of truth. In a sense, the	T 17 E 3 (462)
s answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was	T 17 E 3 (462)
been created, it WAS aware of threat. T 17 E	T 17 E 3 (462)
to threat, and the part of your mind into which the	T 17 E 5 (463)
And its protection is part of it, as insane as the	T 17 E 5 (463)
protects is but a system of delusions. You recognize, at least	T 17 E 6 (463)
than at many other aspects of the egos thought system	T 17 E 6 (463)
gift is ALWAYS a miniature of the thought system the defense	T 17 E 7 (463)
Its purpose is to be of value IN ITSELF, and to	T 17 E 7 (463)
most imposing and deceptive frame of all the defenses the ego	T 17 E 8 (464)
frame are woven all sorts of fanciful and fragmented illusions of	T 17 E 8 (464)
of fanciful and fragmented illusions of love, set with dreams of	T 17 E 8 (464)
of love, set with dreams of sacrifice and self-aggrandizement, and interlaced	T 17 E 8 (464)
and interlaced with gilded threads of self-destruction. The glitter of blood	T 17 E 8 (464)
threads of self-destruction. The glitter of blood shines like rubies, and	T 17 E 8 (464)
the wrapping for the gift of conflict. The frame is NOT	T 17 E 9 (464)
by the most superficial aspects of this thought system, for these	T 17 E 9 (464)
dwell on the hypnotic gleaming of the frame. Look at the	T 17 E 9 (464)
so important in the defense of truth. The truth itself NEEDS	T 17 E 10 (464)
defense against your own acceptance of the gift of death. When	T 17 E 10 (464)
own acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are	T 17 E 10 (464)
keep truth WHOLE. The power of Heaven, the Love of God	T 17 E 10 (464)
power of Heaven, the Love of God, the tears of Christ	T 17 E 10 (464)
Love of God, the tears of Christ and the joy of	T 17 E 10 (464)
of Christ and the joy of His eternal Spirit are marshalled	T 17 E 10 (464)
you attack Them, being PART of Them, and They must save	T 17 E 10 (464)
holy instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you FROM Heaven	T 17 E 11 (464)
holy instant is a miniature of eternity. It is a picture	T 17 E 11 (465)
eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, set in a frame	T 17 E 11 (465)
timelessness, set in a frame of time. If you focus on	T 17 E 11 (465)
as the whole thought system of the ego lies in its	T 17 E 11 (465)
its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant	T 17 E 11 (465)
accepted. Each is a picture of all that you can have	T 17 E 12 (465)
Look at the pictures. BOTH of them. One is a tiny	T 17 E 12 (465)
all beneath the heavy shadows of its enormous and disproportionate enclosure	T 17 E 12 (465)
is framed to be out of focus, and not seen. The	T 17 E 13 (465)
for perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of death grows	T 17 E 13 (465)
The picture of darkness and of death grows less convincing as	T 17 E 13 (465)
no distraction here. The picture of Heaven and eternity	T 17 E 14 (465)
by REAL comparison, a transformation of both pictures can at last	T 17 E 14 (466)
what it is; a picture of what you THOUGHT was real	T 17 E 14 (466)
E 15 The picture of light, in clear-cut and unmistakable	T 17 E 15 (466)
This is no figured representation of a thought system, but the	T 17 E 15 (466)
remembrance, offering you the whole of creation in exchange for your	T 17 E 15 (466)
without value and entirely deprived of meaning. T 17 E	T 17 E 15 (466)
will experience again the MEANING of relationship, and know it to	T 17 E 16 (466)
glory, and keeping no illusions of where they are. They are	T 17 E 16 (466)
It shines in every part of Him, as in the whole	T 17 E 16 (466)
the whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies	T 17 E 16 (466)
holy relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living	T 17 F 1 (467)
instant NEVER fails. The experience of it is ALWAYS felt. Yet	T 17 F 1 (467)
relationship is a constant reminder of the experience in which the	T 17 F 1 (467)
relationship is a continuing hymn of hate in praise of ITS	T 17 F 1 (467)
hymn of hate in praise of ITS maker, so is the	T 17 F 1 (467)
holy relationship a happy song of praise to the Redeemer of	T 17 F 1 (467)
of praise to the Redeemer of relationships. T 17 F	T 17 F 1 (467)
major step toward the perception of the real world, is learned	T 17 F 2 (467)
accomplished, it represents the REVERSAL of the unholy relationship. Be comforted	T 17 F 2 (467)
beginning. For here, the goal of the relationship is abruptly shifted	T 17 F 2 (467)
shifted to the exact opposite of what it was. This is	T 17 F 2 (467)
This is the first result of offering the relationship to the	T 17 F 2 (467)
in introducing the practical results of asking Him to enter. AT	T 17 F 3 (467)
as it IS, is out of line with its own goal	T 17 F 3 (467)
this point, and the pursuit of the old goal re- established	T 17 F 3 (467)
relationship has ACCEPTED the goal of holiness, it can never again	T 17 F 3 (467)
F 4 The temptation of the ego becomes extremely intense	T 17 F 4 (467)
is threatened by the recognition of its inappropriateness for meeting its	T 17 F 4 (468)
the goal and the structure of the relationship is so apparent	T 17 F 4 (468)
as the ONLY way out of the conflict, the relationship seems	T 17 F 4 (468)
could induce a complete change of mind about what the whole	T 17 F 5 (468)
their relationship from the point of view of this new purpose	T 17 F 5 (468)
from the point of view of this new purpose, they are	T 17 F 5 (468)
are inevitably appalled. Their perception of the relationship may even become	T 17 F 5 (468)
And yet, the former organization of their perception no longer serves	T 17 F 5 (468)
you. That was an act of faith. Do not abandon faith	T 17 F 6 (468)
faith, now that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If	T 17 F 6 (468)
as such in the light of its goal. T 17	T 17 F 6 (468)
distress only by getting rid of each other. You need not	T 17 F 7 (469)
you must exclude major areas of fantasy from each other, to	T 17 F 7 (469)
each other for the failure of your relationship, for it will	T 17 F 8 (469)
have NO purpose. A sense of aimlessness will come to haunt	T 17 F 8 (469)
you, and to remind you of all the ways you once	T 17 F 8 (469)
very new in the ways of salvation, and think you have	T 17 F 9 (469)
have chosen but the goal of God, from which your true	T 17 F 9 (469)
the Sonship is the song of freedom heard, in joyous echo	T 17 F 10 (469)
freedom heard, in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined	T 17 F 10 (469)
seemed to be the light of the mistakes? You are now	T 17 F 11 (470)
each other for the discomfort of the situation in which you	T 17 F 11 (470)
yourselves. And by this lack of thanks and gratitude, you make	T 17 F 11 (470)
and thus you lose sight of it. T 17 F	T 17 F 11 (470)
F 12 The experience of an instant, however compelling it	T 17 F 12 (470)
and gracious in your awareness of time, but not concealed within	T 17 F 12 (470)
together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the	T 17 F 13 (470)
you will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is	T 17 F 14 (471)
will also accept the effects of the holy instant, and use	T 17 F 14 (471)
1 The practical application of the Holy Spirits purpose	T 17 G 1 (472)
must be clear. The setting of the Holy Spirits goal	T 17 G 1 (472)
do I want to come of this? What is it FOR	T 17 G 2 (472)
is it FOR? The clarification of the goal belongs at the	T 17 G 2 (472)
The SITUATION becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be	T 17 G 2 (472)
what it WANTS to come of it. It is aware of	T 17 G 2 (472)
of it. It is aware of what it does NOT want	T 17 G 2 (472)
call for vengeance? The absence of a criterion for outcome, set	T 17 G 3 (472)
G 4 The value of deciding in advance what you	T 17 G 4 (472)
473) accomplishment of your objective, and concentrate on	T 17 G 4 (473)
Holy Spirits sorting out of truth and falsity. The true	T 17 G 4 (473)
the useless from this point of view. The situation now has	T 17 G 4 (473)
G 5 The goal of truth has further practical advantages	T 17 G 5 (473)
If peace is the condition of truth and sanity, and cannot	T 17 G 5 (473)
THEY must be. Truth comes of itself. If you experience peace	T 17 G 5 (473)
again, you see the opposite of the egos way of	T 17 G 5 (473)
of the egos way of looking, for the ego believes	T 17 G 5 (473)
G 6 The goal of truth requires faith. Faith is	T 17 G 6 (473)
is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy Spirits purpose	T 17 G 6 (473)
is all-inclusive. Where the goal of truth is set, there faith	T 17 G 6 (473)
so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego	T 17 G 6 (473)
seeks to split off segments of the situation and deal with	T 17 G 6 (473)
Confronted with any aspect of the situation which seems to	T 17 G 7 (473)
and MUST obscure the goal of truth. And peace will not	T 17 G 7 (474)
do you lose the understanding of the situation the goal of	T 17 G 7 (474)
of the situation the goal of truth would bring. For fantasy	T 17 G 7 (474)
solutions bring but the illusion of experience, and the illusion of	T 17 G 7 (474)
of experience, and the illusion of peace is not the condition	T 17 G 7 (474)
The substitutes for aspects of the situation are the witnesses	T 17 G 8 (474)
the witnesses to your lack of faith. They demonstrate that you	T 17 G 8 (474)
The problem WAS the lack of faith, and it is this	T 17 G 8 (474)
the interference in the way of understanding would have been removed	T 17 G 8 (474)
no shift in any aspect of the problem but will make	T 17 H 1 (474)
For if you shift part of the problem elsewhere, the meaning	T 17 H 1 (474)
the problem elsewhere, the meaning of the problem MUST be lost	T 17 H 1 (474)
a relationship, being the joining of thoughts. If problems are perceived	T 17 H 1 (474)
this is impossible. Some idea of bodies must have entered, for	T 17 H 1 (474)
H 2 The thought of bodies is the sign of	T 17 H 2 (474)
of bodies is the sign of faithlessness, for bodies cannot solve	T 17 H 2 (474)
the justification for your lack of faith. You WILL make this	T 17 H 2 (475)
you had been unjustly deprived of it. T 17 H	T 17 H 2 (475)
But remember this; the goal of holiness was set for your	T 17 H 3 (475)
it. Faithlessness is the servant of illusion, and wholly faithful to	T 17 H 4 (475)
goal, but with the value of the goal to YOU. Accept	T 17 H 4 (475)
YOU. Accept not the illusion of peace it offers, but look	T 17 H 4 (475)
H 5 The goal of illusion is as closely tied	T 17 H 5 (475)
far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have	T 17 H 6 (476)
this, and learn the CAUSE of faithlessness: You think you hold	T 17 H 7 (476)
lack faith in him because of what YOU were. Yet you	T 17 H 7 (476)
Yet you are as innocent of what you were as he	T 17 H 7 (476)
shares Its purpose. The light of truth shines from the center	T 17 H 7 (476)
truth shines from the center of the situation, and touches everyone	T 17 H 7 (476)
part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it, and keep	T 17 H 7 (476)
For it shares the purpose of your whole relationship, and derives	T 17 H 7 (476)
Holy Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours	T 17 H 8 (476)
situation was thus made free of the past, which would have	T 17 H 8 (477)
You call for faith because of Him Who walks with you	T 17 H 9 (477)
I. The Conditions of Forgiveness T	T 17 I 0 (478)
case, or an extreme example, of what every situation is MEANT	T 17 I 1 (478)
forth just the same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and left unused	T 17 I 1 (478)
might answer to the call of truth. The holy instant is	T 17 I 1 (478)
the clear and unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every relationship	T 17 I 1 (478)
unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every relationship and every situation	T 17 I 1 (478)
Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness has	T 17 I 1 (478)
it. It is a situation of perfect peace simply because you	T 17 I 1 (478)
all the Holy Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what	T 17 I 2 (478)
Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing	T 17 I 2 (478)
to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is	T 17 I 3 (478)
For such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever faithlessness	T 17 I 3 (478)
unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirits purpose	T 17 I 3 (478)
longer BE withheld. The strain of refusing faith to truth is	T 17 I 3 (478)
who have acknowledged the call of your Redeemer, the strain of	T 17 I 4 (478)
of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His call	T 17 I 4 (478)
pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear	T 17 I 4 (479)
imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear and fiery dreams of	T 17 I 4 (479)
of fear and fiery dreams of Hell. And it was nothing	T 17 I 4 (479)
nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to	T 17 I 4 (479)
Such was the crucifixion of the Son of God. His	T 17 I 5 (479)
the crucifixion of the Son of God. His faithlessness did this	T 17 I 5 (479)
you have accepted the cause of his awakening as yours. You	T 17 I 5 (479)
to realize what your lack of faith in him must mean	T 17 I 5 (479)
your relationship, you became givers of peace as surely as your	T 17 I 6 (479)
to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted apart	T 17 I 6 (479)
BETWEEN, renouncing one in favor of the other. For this special	T 18 A 1 (480)
to require a different form of acting out for satisfaction. While	T 18 A 3 (480)
for either acceptance or rejection of suitability for acting out a	T 18 A 3 (480)
acting out a special form of fear. B. Substitution as	T 18 A 3 (480)
because it was the substitution of illusion for truth; of fragmentation	T 18 B 1 (480)
substitution of illusion for truth; of fragmentation for wholeness. It has	T 18 B 1 (480)
have ever made is part of it. T 18 B	T 18 B 1 (481)
do not realize the magnitude of that one error. It was	T 18 B 2 (481)
that from it a world of total unreality HAD to emerge	T 18 B 2 (481)
emerge. What else COULD come of it? Its fragmented aspects are	T 18 B 2 (481)
to show you the enormity of the original error, which seemed	T 18 B 2 (481)
seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge into	T 18 B 2 (481)
shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and to force	T 18 B 2 (481)
That was the first projection of error outward. The world arose	T 18 B 3 (481)
extends INWARD, where the idea of loss is meaningless, and only	T 18 B 3 (481)
above all, be not AFRAID of it. When you seem to	T 18 B 3 (481)
to see some twisted form of the original error rise to	T 18 B 3 (481)
real differences at all. NONE of them matters. THAT they have	T 18 B 4 (482)
Thus He reverses the course of insanity, and restores you to	T 18 B 5 (482)
where He has taken charge of everything at your request, He	T 18 B 6 (482)
never accept something else instead of you. He loves you both	T 18 B 7 (482)
call is but an echo of the original error which shattered	T 18 B 9 (483)
shattered Heaven. And what became of peace in those who heard	T 18 B 9 (483)
to Heaven, walking together out of this world and through another	T 18 B 9 (483)
out to every broken fragment of the Sonship with healing and	T 18 B 10 (483)
you have accepted. The peace of God is given you with	T 18 B 10 (483)
C. The Basis of the Dream	T 18 C 0 (484)
Rather, it is a distortion of the world, planned solely around	T 18 C 1 (484)
best example you could have of how perception can be utilized	T 18 C 2 (484)
Yet they are a way of looking at the world, and	T 18 C 2 (484)
They provide striking examples, both of the egos inability to	T 18 C 2 (484)
in an instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the	T 18 C 4 (484)
is invaded by the illusion of terror. For the dream of	T 18 C 4 (484)
of terror. For the dream of your ability to control reality	T 18 C 4 (484)
be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be gone. In	T 18 C 5 (485)
to is but another form of this same world you see	T 18 C 6 (485)
you will not let go of it. T 18 C	T 18 C 6 (485)
disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy	T 18 C 7 (485)
remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as	T 18 C 7 (486)
guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It will	T 18 C 7 (486)
as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken	T 18 C 8 (486)
as in one purpose, being of one mind with Him.	T 18 C 8 (486)
has been changed from one of dreams to one of truth	T 18 C 9 (486)
one of dreams to one of truth. You are not sure	T 18 C 9 (486)
truth. You are not sure of this because you think it	T 18 C 9 (486)
the real world; the world of happy dreams, from which awaking	T 18 C 10 (486)
real world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will	T 18 C 10 (486)
Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of waking	T 18 C 10 (486)
Will of God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to	T 18 C 10 (486)
will joined with the Will of God. And what this Will	T 18 C 10 (486)
fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. For you have gone	T 18 D 1 (487)
darkness, in which no ray of light could enter. And you	T 18 D 1 (487)
retreating to the lesser forms of fear, and sometimes to stark	T 18 D 2 (487)
you accepted IS the goal of knowledge, for which you signified	T 18 D 2 (487)
join quickly in an instant of light, and it will be	T 18 D 2 (487)
into it. A little flicker of your eyelids, closed so long	T 18 D 3 (487)
hating it, and terribly afraid of its judgment upon you. And	T 18 D 3 (487)
that you are not afraid of love, but only of what	T 18 D 3 (487)
afraid of love, but only of what you have made of	T 18 D 3 (487)
of what you have made of it. You are advancing to	T 18 D 3 (487)
to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to each	T 18 D 4 (488)
have accepted God. The holiness of your relationship is established in	T 18 D 4 (488)
to be holy. The will of God is granted you. For	T 18 D 4 (488)
accord with all the power of the Holy Spirits Will	T 18 D 5 (488)
bringing Heaven to the Son of God, who hid in darkness	T 18 D 6 (488)
me in the holy light of your relationship, is YOUR need	T 18 D 6 (488)
who are now the bringers of salvation have the function of	T 18 D 7 (488)
of salvation have the function of --- Manuscript	T 18 D 7 (488)
shines forever in the Mind of God but shines on you	T 18 D 8 (489)
to give the little spark of your desire the power of	T 18 D 8 (489)
of your desire the power of God Himself, CAN you remain	T 18 D 8 (489)
holy instant is the result of your determination to be holy	T 18 E 1 (490)
it only to the extent of recognizing that you want it	T 18 E 1 (490)
brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in	T 18 E 2 (490)
this lies also your acceptance of yourself as YOU were meant	T 18 E 2 (490)
than greatness which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the	T 18 E 3 (490)
that you are not worthy of it. And what is this	T 18 E 3 (490)
create His dwelling place unworthy of Him. And if you believe	T 18 E 3 (490)
do not need the strength of willingness to come from YOU	T 18 E 3 (490)
It is always the result of your small willingness combined with	T 18 E 4 (490)
combined with the unlimited power of Gods Will. You have	T 18 E 4 (490)
you maintain you are unworthy of learning this, you are interfering	T 18 E 4 (491)
way for it. Purification is of God alone, and therefore for	T 18 E 5 (491)
host to God AM worthy of Him. He Who established His	T 18 E 5 (491)
to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal	T 18 E 5 (491)
substitute my own in place of it. T 18 E	T 18 E 5 (491)
you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the	T 18 E 8 (492)
you have become the arbiter of what is possible, and remain	T 18 E 8 (492)
The whole belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered	T 18 E 8 (492)
you NOW for the undoing of what never was. If you	T 18 F 1 (492)
they are all but aspects of the plan to change your	T 18 F 1 (492)
plan to change your dreams of fear to happy dreams, from	T 18 F 1 (492)
Put yourself not in charge of this, for you cannot distinguish	T 18 F 1 (492)
between advance and retreat. Some of your greatest advances you have	T 18 F 1 (492)
judged as failures, and some of your deepest retreats you have	T 18 F 1 (492)
planted in the solid rock of faith, and rising even to	T 18 F 2 (493)
want it otherwise. The alignment of means and purpose is an	T 18 F 4 (493)
a dream. All that remains of dreams within it is that	T 18 F 5 (493)
be wanting that would make of it what He would have	T 18 F 5 (493)
When you feel the holiness of your relationship is threatened by	T 18 F 6 (494)
Spirit your willingness, IN SPITE of fear, to let Him exchange	T 18 F 6 (494)
that whatever threatens the peace of one is an equal threat	T 18 F 6 (494)
to the other. The power of joining and its blessing lies	T 18 F 6 (494)
is now impossible for either of you to experience fear alone	T 18 F 6 (494)
holy instant come to either of you WITHOUT the other. And	T 18 F 6 (494)
to BOTH at the request of either. T 18 F	T 18 F 6 (494)
that realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you	T 18 G 1 (495)
separate from Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place	T 18 G 1 (495)
Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God, who	T 18 G 1 (495)
dwelling place of the Son of God, who left not his	T 18 G 1 (495)
It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge	T 18 G 1 (495)
could God give but knowledge of Himself? What else IS there	T 18 G 2 (495)
has cost you the awareness of Heaven, and the loss of	T 18 G 2 (495)
of Heaven, and the loss of your identity. And you have	T 18 G 2 (495)
for it can do nothing of itself. You who think you	T 18 G 2 (495)
to the mind the properties of the body does separation seem	T 18 G 3 (495)
body by increasing the projection of its guilt upon it.	T 18 G 3 (495)
clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change	T 18 G 4 (496)
lovingly, respecting what the Son of God has made, and using	T 18 G 4 (496)
you not have the instruments of separation re-interpreted as means for	T 18 G 5 (496)
salvation, and used for purposes of love? Would you not welcome	T 18 G 5 (496)
support the shift from fantasies of vengeance to release from them	T 18 G 5 (496)
release from them? Your perception of the body can clearly be	T 18 G 5 (496)
does. IT does not dream of them, and they but make	T 18 G 6 (496)
weak, vulnerable and treacherous, worthy of the hate which you invest	T 18 G 6 (496)
thing you hate, the instrument of vengeance and the perceived source	T 18 G 6 (496)
vengeance and the perceived source of your guilt. You have done	T 18 G 6 (496)
it to be the dwelling-place of the Son of God, and	T 18 G 6 (496)
the dwelling-place of the Son of God, and turning it against	T 18 G 6 (496)
This is the host of God that YOU have made	T 18 G 7 (496)
you have sown the seeds of vengeance, violence and death. This	T 18 G 7 (496)
prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out as being reached	T 18 G 7 (496)
CAN you escape. The home of vengeance is not yours; the	T 18 G 8 (497)
a prison, but an illusion of YOURSELF. The body is a	T 18 G 8 (497)
which is an eternal property of mind. But the communication is	T 18 G 8 (497)
It is NOT made up of different PARTS, which reach each	T 18 G 8 (497)
and to establish different ORDERS of reality, only SOME of which	T 18 G 9 (497)
ORDERS of reality, only SOME of which were love. Yet love	T 18 G 9 (497)
he would call a sense of being transported beyond himself. This	T 18 G 10 (497)
transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far exceeds the dream	T 18 G 10 (497)
liberation far exceeds the dream of freedom sometimes experienced in special	T 18 G 10 (497)
relationships. It is a sense of actual ESCAPE from limitations.	T 18 G 10 (497)
it is a sudden unawareness of the body, and a joining	T 18 G 11 (498)
the body, and a joining of yourself and something else in	T 18 G 11 (498)
encompass it. It becomes part of you, as you unite with	T 18 G 11 (498)
have given up the illusion of a limited awareness, and lost	T 18 G 11 (498)
awareness, and lost your fear of union. The love that instantly	T 18 G 11 (498)
lasts, you are not uncertain of your identity, and would not	T 18 G 11 (498)
to peace, asking no questions of reality, but merely accepting it	T 18 G 11 (498)
You have accepted this INSTEAD of the body, and have let	T 18 G 11 (498)
This can occur regardless of the physical distance which seems	T 18 G 12 (498)
you and what you join; of your respective positions in space	T 18 G 12 (498)
respective positions in space; and of your differences in size and	T 18 G 12 (498)
are not really lifted out of it; it cannot CONTAIN you	T 18 G 13 (498)
gaining, not losing, a sense of self. In these instants of	T 18 G 13 (498)
of self. In these instants of release from physical restrictions, you	T 18 G 13 (498)
physical restrictions, you experience much of what happens in the holy	T 18 G 13 (498)
the holy instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and	T 18 G 13 (498)
the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden	T 18 G 13 (498)
and space, the sudden experience of peace and joy, and, above	T 18 G 13 (498)
and, above all, the lack of awareness of the body, and	T 18 G 13 (498)
all, the lack of awareness of the body, and of the	T 18 G 13 (498)
awareness of the body, and of the questioning whether	T 18 G 13 (498)
WANT it. The sudden expansion of the self which takes place	T 18 G 14 (499)
embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted FOR you, to	T 18 G 14 (499)
to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom. Come to	T 18 G 14 (499)
freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be	T 18 G 14 (499)
the body as a source of strength. What plans do you	T 18 H 1 (500)
this instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will	T 18 H 2 (500)
that you spend WITHOUT awareness of it gives you a different	T 18 H 2 (500)
gives you a different view of it when you return .	T 18 H 2 (500)
any single instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as	T 18 H 3 (500)
and therefore MUST be thought of in the past or in	T 18 H 3 (500)
have indeed achieved their instants of success. This course does not	T 18 H 4 (500)
a lifetime of contemplation and long periods of	T 18 H 4 (501)
of contemplation and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from	T 18 H 4 (501)
attempts will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means	T 18 H 4 (501)
very time consuming, for all of them look to the FUTURE	T 18 H 4 (501)
for release from a state of present unworthiness and inadequacy.	T 18 H 4 (501)
holy relationship is a means of SAVING TIME. One instant spent	T 18 H 5 (501)

You are not making use of the course if you insist	T 18 H 6 (501)

which you slip past centuries of effort, and escape from time	T 18 H 7 (501)

you will be more aware of this quiet center of the	T 18 H 8 (502)

I. The Purpose of the Body	T 18 I 0 (503)
It is only the awareness of the body that makes love	T 18 I 1 (503)
itself. You cannot even think of God without a body, or	T 18 I 1 (503)
fence around a little part of a glorious and complete idea	T 18 I 2 (503)
around a very little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole	T 18 I 2 (503)
to defend this little speck of dust, it bids you fight	T 18 I 3 (503)
against the universe. This fragment of your mind is such a	T 18 I 3 (503)
is such a tiny part of it that, could you but	T 18 I 3 (503)
faintest ripple on the surface of the ocean. In its amazing	T 18 I 3 (503)
nor ocean is even aware of all this strange and meaningless	T 18 I 4 (503)
hated by a tiny segment of themselves. Even that segment is	T 18 I 4 (503)
kingdom, ruled by an idea of separation from the rest. Nor	T 18 I 6 (504)
sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he surveys, who looks	T 18 I 7 (504)
like itself. Its total lack of limit IS its meaning. It	T 18 I 8 (504)
I 9 The Thought of God surrounds your little kingdom	T 18 I 9 (505)
dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by love for	T 18 I 9 (505)
gently transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven, with all the love	T 18 I 10 (505)
Heaven, with all the love of its Creator shining upon it	T 18 I 10 (505)
transform it into a garden of peace and welcome. T	T 18 I 10 (505)
the holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers	T 18 I 11 (505)
straight INTO Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole	T 18 I 11 (506)
whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His Fatherhood	T 18 I 11 (506)
I 12 Be sure of this; love has entered your	T 18 I 12 (506)
have not yet let go of all the barriers you hold	T 18 I 12 (506)
could no more be unaware of love than love could know	T 18 I 12 (506)
You have reached the end of an ancient journey, not realizing	T 18 I 13 (506)
you this. Receive it now of Him, for He would have	T 18 I 13 (506)
Him. Only a little wall of dust still stands between you	T 18 I 13 (506)
love has prepared for BOTH of you. ---	T 18 I 13 (506)
it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought that	T 18 J 1 (507)
thinks it is the Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole	T 18 J 1 (507)
whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart	T 18 J 1 (507)
This is the little part of you you think you stole	T 18 J 2 (507)
but YOU have lost sight of Heaven. Let the Holy Spirit	T 18 J 2 (507)
is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, complete	T 18 J 2 (507)
tiny segment of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene	T 18 J 2 (507)
and holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it	T 18 J 2 (507)
you, returning your little offering of darkness to the eternal Light	T 18 J 2 (507)
are meaningless. From the world of bodies, made by insanity, insane	T 18 J 3 (507)
are no messages which speak of what lies underneath, for it	T 18 J 4 (507)
the body that COULD speak of this. Its eyes perceive it	T 18 J 4 (507)
its senses remain quite unaware of it; its tongue cannot relay	T 18 J 4 (507)
Him at the outside ring of fear, but He would lead	T 18 J 4 (508)
J 5 The circle of fear lies just below the	T 18 J 5 (508)
is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion which	T 18 J 6 (508)
rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems	T 18 J 7 (508)
it is but an ILLUSION of a foundation. Try but to	T 18 J 7 (508)
the clouds the messengers of your perception return to you	T 18 J 8 (509)
you would play the game of childrens make-believe. Yet however	T 18 J 8 (509)
you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you bring	T 18 J 8 (509)
be with the dark clouds of guilt, no more impenetrable and	T 18 J 9 (509)
beneath them is a world of light whereon they cast no	T 18 J 9 (509)
J 10 This world of light, this circle of brightness	T 18 J 10 (509)
world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world	T 18 J 10 (509)
seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. Here are	T 18 J 10 (509)
innocence, washed in the waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every	T 18 J 10 (509)
waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every evil thought you had	T 18 J 10 (509)
no attack upon the Son of God, and you are welcome	T 18 J 10 (509)
the dark and heavy garments of guilt laid by, and gently	T 18 J 10 (509)
create. It is the source of healing, but it is the	T 18 J 11 (509)
but it is the messenger of love, and not its Source	T 18 J 11 (509)
step beyond this holy place of forgiveness, a step still further	T 18 J 11 (509)
different. Here is the Source of light; nothing perceived, forgiven nor	T 18 J 11 (509)
K. The Passing of the Dream	T 18 K 0 (510)
is still beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there	T 18 K 1 (510)
us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond	T 18 K 1 (510)
is useless in the Presence of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of	T 18 K 2 (510)
of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him	T 18 K 2 (510)
acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far transcend all	T 18 K 2 (510)
replaced forever by the knowledge of love and its one meaning	T 18 K 2 (510)
been uprooted from the world of shadows, and its unholy purpose	T 18 K 3 (510)
safely brought through the barriers of guilt, washed with forgiveness, and	T 18 K 3 (510)
firmly rooted in the world of light. From there, it calls	T 18 K 3 (510)
gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The holy instant in	T 18 K 3 (510)
united is but the messenger of love, sent from beyond forgiveness	T 18 K 3 (510)
beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies beyond it	T 18 K 3 (510)
And when the memory of God has come to you	T 18 K 4 (510)
you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember nothing	T 18 K 4 (510)
gentleness, to the bright world of new and clean perception. There	T 18 K 4 (511)
criterion by which the wholeness of the dedication can be safely	T 19 A 1 (512)
opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed	T 19 A 2 (512)
demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see	T 19 A 2 (512)
is obvious that a segment of the mind CAN see itself	T 19 B 1 (512)
body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what	T 19 B 1 (512)
For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a body	T 19 B 2 (512)
cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see	T 19 B 2 (512)
sick, for you have made of it an enemy of healing	T 19 B 2 (513)
made of it an enemy of healing, and the opposite of	T 19 B 2 (513)
of healing, and the opposite of truth. T 19 B	T 19 B 2 (513)
faith must be the opposite of faithlessness. Yet the difference in	T 19 B 3 (513)
interpose illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; faith	T 19 B 3 (513)
impossible. Truth is the ABSENCE of illusion; illusion the ABSENCE of	T 19 B 3 (513)
of illusion; illusion the ABSENCE of truth. T 19 B	T 19 B 3 (513)
impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the	T 19 B 4 (513)
sought through the body, thought of as a means for seeking	T 19 B 4 (513)
and divided into little parts of seeming wholeness, but without connection	T 19 B 4 (513)
must be healed. The result of an idea is never separate	T 19 B 6 (514)
from its source. The IDEA of separation produced the body, and	T 19 B 6 (514)
it, making it sick because of its identification with it. You	T 19 B 6 (514)
identification safe from the attack of truth. T 19 B	T 19 B 6 (514)
own identification has become because of it! You do not see	T 19 B 7 (514)
you see what IS unworthy of it, and cannot look beyond	T 19 B 7 (514)
faith, you offer the gift of freedom from the past, which	T 19 B 8 (514)
Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part	T 19 B 9 (514)
fear, as much a part of love as fear is of	T 19 B 9 (514)
of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment	T 19 B 9 (514)
attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious	T 19 B 9 (514)
It is the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a Son of	T 19 B 9 (514)
of everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved	T 19 B 9 (514)
Faith is the gift of God, through Him Whom God	T 19 B 10 (515)
Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God, and judges him unworthy	T 19 B 10 (515)
God, and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes	T 19 B 10 (515)
forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the Son of God	T 19 B 10 (515)
eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen ALREADY forgiven	T 19 B 10 (515)
is seen ALREADY forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid	T 19 B 10 (515)
justification. It is the messenger of the new perception, sent forth	T 19 B 10 (515)
you offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly	T 19 B 10 (515)
eyes, but in the sight of Him Who joined you, and	T 19 B 11 (515)
grace was laid for BOTH of you. And be you healed	T 19 B 11 (515)
raised unto Himself and BOTH of you. Lay faithlessness aside, and	T 19 B 12 (515)
will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was	T 19 B 12 (516)
sight, which brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to	T 19 B 12 (516)
with equal ease to ALL of them. For what the messengers	T 19 B 12 (516)
them. For what the messengers of love are sent to do	T 19 B 12 (516)
garden which He would make of it. For faith brings peace	T 19 B 13 (516)
and peace, completing the process of making lovely which they begin	T 19 B 13 (516)
slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator	T 19 B 14 (516)
an IDEA is free, incapable of being kept in prison, or	T 19 B 14 (516)
unless a mind not part of it can give it absolution	T 19 C 1 (517)
an arrogance which the idea of error lacks. To sin would	T 19 C 2 (517)
justified. It assumes the Son of God is guilty, and has	T 19 C 2 (517)
not eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition and	T 19 C 2 (517)
C 3 The Son of God can be mistaken; he	T 19 C 3 (517)
can even turn the power of his mind against himself. But	T 19 C 3 (517)
inherent in the whole idea of sin, it is IMPOSSIBLE. For	T 19 C 3 (517)
is IMPOSSIBLE. For the wages of sin IS death, and how	T 19 C 3 (517)
as arrogance, and the acceptance of the self as sinful is	T 19 C 4 (517)
doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of God as	T 19 C 4 (517)
the reality of the Son of God as his Father created	T 19 C 4 (517)
to the ego. The idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to	T 19 C 5 (517)
protection, and the fundamental purpose of the special relationship in its	T 19 C 5 (518)
illusion which makes the clouds of guilt seem heavy and impenetrable	T 19 C 6 (518)
changed creation from an Idea of God to an ideal the	T 19 C 6 (518)
world IT rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of	T 19 C 6 (518)
of bodies, mindless and capable of complete corruption and decay. If	T 19 C 6 (518)
mistake is given the STATUS of truth, to what can it	T 19 C 6 (518)
it be brought? The holiness of sin is kept in place	T 19 C 6 (518)
is real; the natural expression of what the Son of God	T 19 C 7 (518)
expression of what the Son of God has made himself to	T 19 C 7 (518)
completely. Mourn, then, the death of God, Whom sin has killed	T 19 C 7 (518)
for it IS the choice of Hell or Heaven.	T 19 C 8 (519)
D. The Unreality of Sin T	T 19 D 0 (520)
D 1 The attraction of guilt is found in sin	T 19 D 1 (520)
Sin will be repeated BECAUSE of this attraction. Fear can become	T 19 D 1 (520)
suffer, and not let go of the idea of sin. For	T 19 D 1 (520)
let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still calls	T 19 D 1 (520)
appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that CANNOT be corrected	T 19 D 1 (520)
desirable. As an essential part of what the ego thinks you	T 19 D 1 (520)
punishment is but another form of guilts protection for what	T 19 D 2 (520)
is always the great preserver of sin; treating it with respect	T 19 D 2 (520)
results, but without the loss of its appeal. And suddenly, you	T 19 D 3 (520)
will but change the FORM of sin, granting that it was	T 19 D 3 (520)
Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On	T 19 D 4 (521)
do not share His recognition of the difference between time and	T 19 D 4 (521)
you shift to different aspects of the spiral, the line looks	T 19 D 6 (521)
the body by the FEAR of changed perception which its Teacher	T 19 D 6 (521)
impossible that what is part of Him is totally unlike the	T 19 D 7 (521)
mind leads to a perception of the world in which the	T 19 D 8 (522)
world in which the proof of separation seems to be everywhere	T 19 D 8 (522)
remain itself before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as	T 19 D 8 (522)
forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be	T 19 D 9 (522)
power beyond Gods, capable of making another will which could	T 19 D 9 (522)
and STRONGER. And each part of Gods fragmented creation would	T 19 D 9 (522)
its purpose now, the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven	T 19 D 9 (522)
been uprooted in its smile of love. You see it still	T 19 D 9 (522)
it vanishes. Only the habit of LOOKING for it still remains	T 19 D 9 (522)
hidden. You will be healed of sin and all its ravages	T 19 D 10 (522)
you will see the smile of Heaven shining on BOTH of	T 19 D 11 (523)
of Heaven shining on BOTH of you. And you will shine	T 19 D 11 (523)
each other, in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been	T 19 D 11 (523)
relationship is now a temple of healing; a place where all	T 19 D 12 (523)
will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to	T 19 D 13 (523)
brothers, and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace	T 19 D 13 (523)
past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy Spirits purpose	T 19 D 13 (523)
He laid, deep within BOTH of you, will quietly extend to	T 19 D 13 (523)
quietly extend to every aspect of your lives, surrounding both of	T 19 D 13 (523)
of your lives, surrounding both of you with glowing happiness and	T 19 D 13 (523)
happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you will	T 19 D 13 (523)
you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom	T 19 D 13 (523)
in your call the Call of God. And you will	T 19 D 14 (523)
You can indeed be sure of nothing you see outside you	T 19 D 14 (524)
you see outside you, but of this you CAN be sure	T 19 D 14 (524)
offered your relationship the gift of holiness, without which it would	T 19 D 14 (524)
His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And	T 19 D 15 (524)
Name. What need is there of seeing, in the presence of	T 19 D 15 (524)
of seeing, in the presence of His gratitude?	T 19 D 15 (524)
The Desire to Get Rid of It T	T 19 E 0 (525)
your desire to get RID of it. For it cannot extend	T 19 E 1 (525)
it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread	T 19 E 1 (525)
to pay? The little barrier of sand still stands between you	T 19 E 2 (525)
yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would	T 19 E 2 (525)
you let a little bank of sand, a wall of dust	T 19 E 2 (525)
bank of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier	T 19 E 2 (525)
it IS this little remnant of attack you cherish still against	T 19 E 2 (525)
going forth. This little wall of hatred would still oppose the	T 19 E 2 (525)
would still oppose the Will of God, and keep It limited	T 19 E 2 (525)
You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little	T 19 E 3 (525)
wall would hide the purpose of Heaven, and keep it FROM	T 19 E 3 (525)
salvation away from the GIVER of salvation? For such have you	T 19 E 4 (525)
It cannot contain the Will of God. Peace WILL flow across	T 19 E 4 (526)
so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For peace will send	T 19 E 4 (526)
wall. For in the miracle of your relationship, without this barrier	T 19 E 5 (526)
contained. There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they	T 19 E 5 (526)
winning over from the appeal of guilt to the appeal of	T 19 E 5 (526)
of guilt to the appeal of love. How can this FAIL	T 19 E 5 (526)
you must fall away because of the appeal you answered. For	T 19 E 5 (526)
Him quietly extend the miracle of your relationship to everyone contained	T 19 E 5 (526)
happy expectancy, a little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the	T 19 E 6 (526)
pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journeys end. For	T 19 E 6 (526)
not upon the little wall of shadows. The sun has risen	T 19 E 6 (526)
miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the	T 19 E 6 (526)
ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must	T 19 E 6 (526)
insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in	T 19 E 7 (526)
E 8 This feather of a wish, this tiny illusion	T 19 E 8 (527)
tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the belief in sin, is	T 19 E 8 (527)
sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be	T 19 E 8 (527)
be before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an	T 19 E 9 (527)
flight, or hinder the advance of summer? Can it interfere with	T 19 E 9 (527)
it interfere with the effects of summers sun upon a	T 19 E 9 (527)
snowflake, and shiver in remembrance of the winters cold?	T 19 E 9 (527)
F. The Attraction of Guilt T	T 19 F 0 (528)
F 1 The attraction of guilt produces fear of love	T 19 F 1 (528)
attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would never	T 19 F 1 (528)
all. It is the nature of love to look upon only	T 19 F 1 (528)
For love contains the end of guilt, as surely as fear	T 19 F 1 (528)
sent, and return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers	T 19 F 2 (528)
love and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to	T 19 F 2 (528)
guilt, and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin which	T 19 F 2 (528)
every scrap of evil and of sin which they can find	T 19 F 2 (528)
they can find, losing none of them on pain of death	T 19 F 2 (528)
none of them on pain of death, and laying them respectfully	T 19 F 2 (528)
masters, each asking for messages of different things in different languages	T 19 F 2 (528)
this world are the result of how the world is seen	T 19 F 3 (528)
it, and return with word of what they saw. Fears	T 19 F 3 (528)
guiltily away in hungry search of guilt, for they are kept	T 19 F 3 (528)
to him. No little shred of guilt escapes their hungry eyes	T 19 F 3 (528)
they will bring you word of bones and skin and flesh	T 19 F 4 (529)
to allay their savage pangs of hunger. For they are frantic	T 19 F 4 (529)
are frantic with the pain of fear, and would avert the	T 19 F 4 (529)
and would avert the punishment of him who sends them forth	T 19 F 4 (529)
s messengers to send instead of those you trained through fear	T 19 F 5 (529)
to let no little act of charity, no tiny expression of	T 19 F 5 (529)
of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little breath of	T 19 F 5 (529)
of forgiveness, no little breath of love escape their notice. And	T 19 F 5 (529)
with you. Be not afraid of THEM. They offer you salvation	T 19 F 5 (529)
salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the	T 19 F 5 (529)
transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed	T 19 F 6 (529)
to replace the hungry dogs of fear you sent instead. And	T 19 F 6 (529)
forth to signify the END of fear. T 19 F	T 19 F 6 (529)
in gentleness before the table of communion. And I will join	T 19 F 7 (530)
made welcome in the state of grace, which means you have	T 19 F 8 (530)
For I became the symbol of your sin, and so I	T 19 F 8 (530)
I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin	T 19 F 8 (530)
way by which the Son of God was killed instead of	T 19 F 8 (530)
of God was killed instead of YOU. T 19 F	T 19 F 8 (530)
keep us apart? Mine was of no greater value than yours	T 19 F 9 (530)
no better means for communication of salvation, but NOT its Source	T 19 F 9 (530)
appear to be the symbol of sin, while you believe that	T 19 F 9 (530)
it. Communion is another kind of completion, which goes beyond guilt	T 19 F 10 (530)
must first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid	T 19 G 1 (530)
your desire to get rid of it. Where the attraction of	T 19 G 1 (530)
of it. Where the attraction of guilt holds sway, peace is	T 19 G 1 (530)
For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the	T 19 G 1 (530)
peace would rob you of. This is what you believe	T 19 G 2 (531)
make, too much to ask of you. T 19 G	T 19 G 2 (531)
death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as	T 19 G 3 (531)
the focus of the perception of Atonement as murder. Here is	T 19 G 3 (531)
murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is	T 19 G 3 (531)
It is only the messengers of fear that see the body	T 19 G 4 (531)
demand you sacrifice the hope of the bodys pleasure; it	T 19 G 4 (531)
pleasure; it HAS no hope of pleasure. But neither can it	T 19 G 4 (531)
can it bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only	T 19 G 4 (531)
will neither to get rid of peace NOR limit it. What	T 19 G 5 (531)
WANT communion, not the feast of fear. You WANT salvation, not	T 19 G 5 (531)
WANT salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your	T 19 G 5 (531)
Father, NOT a little mound of clay, to be your home	T 19 G 5 (531)

as everyone offers you witness of the end of sin, and	T 19 G 8 (532)

use it for the Son of Gods release. It is	T 19 H 1 (534)
this you would be rid of, and having it you CANNOT	T 19 H 1 (534)
be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you invest your	T 19 H 1 (534)

lies disillusionment and the seeds of faithlessness, but only if you	T 19 H 3 (534)
but only if you ask of it what it cannot give	T 19 H 3 (534)

the ego sees as PROOF of sin. It is not really	T 19 H 4 (535)
is but the inevitable result of equating yourself with the body	T 19 H 4 (535)
become your purpose. The attraction of guilt MUST enter with it	T 19 H 4 (535)
It will share the pain of ALL illusions, and the illusion	T 19 H 4 (535)
ALL illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the SAME	T 19 H 4 (535)
guilt maintains the whole illusion of its existence. This, then, IS	T 19 H 5 (535)
This, then, IS the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception	T 19 H 5 (535)
the body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully, and	T 19 H 5 (535)
this idea that underlies all of the egos heavy investment	T 19 H 5 (535)
Certainly what it is made of is not precious. And just	T 19 H 6 (535)
no feeling for them. All of the feeling with which they	T 19 H 6 (535)

the body to the goal of sin, and places in it	T 19 H 8 (536)

death is not the end of conflict. Only Gods Answer	T 19 J 5 (539)
is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for death	T 19 J 5 (539)
Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the	T 19 J 5 (539)
end of union, the triumph of the egos making over	T 19 J 5 (539)
making over creation, the victory of lifelessness on Life Itself.	T 19 J 5 (539)
Under the dusty edge of its distorted world the ego	T 19 J 6 (539)
ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders	T 19 J 6 (539)
to kill. My brothers, Children of our Father, this is a	T 19 J 6 (539)
Father, this is a DREAM of death. There is no funeral	T 19 J 6 (539)

perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin	T 19 J 9 (540)
symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember, then	T 19 J 9 (540)
to the truth or falsity of the idea which they reflect	T 19 J 9 (540)
Confronted with such seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember	T 19 J 9 (540)
not. Remember the holy presence of the One given to you	T 19 J 9 (540)
you to be the Source of judgment. Give it to Him	T 19 J 9 (540)

You are no more afraid of death than of the ego	T 19 K 4 (541)

never to let the fear of God be lifted, so you	T 19 K 4 (541)
could look upon the face of Christ, and join Him in	T 19 K 4 (542)
The desire to get rid of peace and drive the Holy	T 19 K 5 (542)
you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition that you	T 19 K 5 (542)
you love Him. The exaltation of the body is given up	T 19 K 5 (542)
is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love	T 19 K 5 (542)
the body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as	T 19 K 5 (542)
to you. From beyond each of the obstacles to love, Love	T 19 K 5 (542)
been surmounted by the power of the attraction of what lies	T 19 K 5 (542)
the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your WANTING	T 19 K 5 (542)
when you heard the voice of love beyond them, you answered	T 19 K 5 (542)
to your friends. The loveliness of sin, the delicate appeal of	T 19 K 6 (542)
of sin, the delicate appeal of guilt, the holy waxen image	T 19 K 6 (542)
guilt, the holy waxen image of death, and the fear of	T 19 K 6 (542)

forever. This is the re-establishment of YOUR will. Look upon it	T 19 K 7 (542)
you are at the mercy of things beyond you, forces you	T 19 K 7 (542)

There is no grace of Heaven that you cannot offer	T 19 L 8 (544)

And giving it receive it of Him in return for what	T 19 L 10 (545)

Chapter 20 - THE PROMISE OF THE RESURRECTION A. Introduction	T 20 0 0 (547)
is Palm Sunday, the celebration of victory and the acceptance of	T 20 A 1 (547)
of victory and the acceptance of the truth. Let us not	T 20 A 1 (547)
week brooding on the crucifixion of Gods Son, but happily	T 20 A 1 (547)
but happily in the celebration of his release. For Easter is	T 20 A 1 (547)
For Easter is the sign of peace, not pain. A slain	T 20 A 1 (547)
RISEN Christ becomes the symbol of the Son of Gods	T 20 A 1 (547)
the symbol of the Son of Gods forgiveness upon HIMSELF	T 20 A 1 (547)
and holy sign the Son of God is innocent. Let no	T 20 B 1 (547)
innocent. Let no dark sign of crucifixion intervene between the journey	T 20 B 1 (547)
its purpose; between the acceptance of the truth and its expression	T 20 B 1 (547)
we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God, and	T 20 B 1 (547)
perfect purity of the Son of God, and not his sins	T 20 B 1 (547)
Offer each other the gift of lilies, not the crown of	T 20 B 1 (547)
of lilies, not the crown of thorns; the gift of love	T 20 B 1 (547)
crown of thorns; the gift of love and not the gift	T 20 B 1 (547)
love and not the gift of fear. You stand beside each	T 20 B 1 (547)
I would have the gift of your forgiveness offered by you	T 20 B 1 (547)
holy week is the symbol of the whole journey the Son	T 20 B 2 (547)
the whole journey the Son of God has undertaken. He started	T 20 B 2 (547)
He started with the sign of victory, the promise of the	T 20 B 2 (547)
sign of victory, the promise of the resurrection, already given him	T 20 B 2 (547)
not wander into the temptation of crucifixion, and delay him there	T 20 B 2 (547)
beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his	T 20 B 2 (547)
near. But let the whiteness of your shining gift of lilies	T 20 B 2 (547)
whiteness of your shining gift of lilies speed him on his	T 20 B 2 (547)
Easter is not the celebration of the COST of sin, but	T 20 B 3 (547)
the celebration of the COST of sin, but of its	T 20 B 3 (547)
the COST of sin, but of its END. If you	T 20 B 3 (547)
END. If you see glimpses of the face of Christ behind	T 20 B 3 (547)
see glimpses of the face of Christ behind the veil, looking	T 20 B 3 (547)
between the snow white petals of the lilies you have received	T 20 B 3 (547)
was. Yet for your gift of lilies you WILL know. In	T 20 B 3 (548)
WILL know. In your forgiveness of this stranger, alien to you	T 20 B 3 (548)
redemption with him. The time of Easter is a time of	T 20 B 3 (548)
of Easter is a time of joy, and not of mourning	T 20 B 3 (548)
time of joy, and not of mourning. Look on your risen	T 20 B 3 (548)
For Easter is the time of YOUR salvation, along with mine	T 20 B 3 (548)
but offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it for	T 20 C 1 (549)
to justify your own interpretation of its value by his acceptance	T 20 C 1 (549)
and delight acknowledges the lack of value he places on himself	T 20 C 1 (549)
minds judge to be worthy of them. T 20 C	T 20 C 2 (549)
Each gift is an evaluation of the receiver and the GIVER	T 20 C 3 (549)
draw to it the worshippers of what he placed upon it	T 20 C 3 (549)
upon it, making it worthy of their devotion. And each has	T 20 C 3 (549)
your judgment on the Son of God for what he is	T 20 C 3 (549)
for lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me	T 20 C 4 (549)
upon the Son of God as whole. But look	T 20 C 4 (550)
gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything	T 20 C 5 (550)
I cannot use your gift of lilies while YOU see them	T 20 C 6 (550)
obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you	T 20 C 7 (550)
greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could	T 20 C 7 (550)
you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for	T 20 C 7 (550)
nails to crucify the Son of God, and crown him king	T 20 C 7 (550)
God, and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is	T 20 C 7 (550)
fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain	T 20 C 8 (551)
the glad refrain the Son of God was NEVER crucified. Let	T 20 C 8 (551)
pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we share	T 20 C 8 (551)
where you laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to	T 20 C 9 (551)
We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each others	T 20 C 9 (551)
Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we join	T 20 C 10 (551)
glad awareness that the Son of God is risen from the	T 20 C 10 (551)
him. Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt	T 20 C 10 (551)
protected from the cold chill of fear and withering blight of	T 20 C 10 (551)
of fear and withering blight of sin alike. Your gift has	T 20 C 10 (551)
will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you	T 20 C 11 (552)
you behold the open door of Heaven, and recognize the home	T 20 C 11 (552)
lamp is lit in both of you for one another. And	T 20 C 11 (552)
to each other shall both of you be led past fear	T 20 C 11 (552)

answered. Take not the judgment of the world as answer to	T 20 D 6 (554)

turn to ask the meaning of the universe. And of the	T 20 D 8 (555)
meaning of the universe. And of the one blind thing in	T 20 D 8 (555)
in all the seeing universe of truth you ask, How shall	T 20 D 8 (555)

Does one ask judgment of what is totally BEREFT of	T 20 D 9 (555)
of what is totally BEREFT of judgment? And if you have	T 20 D 9 (555)

holiness that shone in both of you, to bless the other	T 20 D 9 (555)

relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment of the one	T 20 D 9 (555)
the means of its attainment of the one thing that still	T 20 D 9 (555)
companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He seemed	T 20 D 10 (555)

on ourselves. Here all thought of any separation between us becomes	T 20 D 11 (556)
they will to be? Each of you now will lead the	T 20 D 12 (556)
your brother is the light of Gods eternal promise of	T 20 D 12 (556)
of Gods eternal promise of your immortality. See HIM as	T 20 D 12 (556)
give power as the laws of this world interpret giving; as	T 20 E 1 (557)
power at all. Power is of God, given by Him, and	T 20 E 1 (557)
would He keep you free of them. Being without illusion of	T 20 E 1 (557)
of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy	T 20 E 1 (557)
but what you would RECEIVE of him is up to you	T 20 E 2 (557)
it. It is the re-awakening of the laws of God in	T 20 E 2 (557)
the re-awakening of the laws of God in minds that have	T 20 E 2 (557)
them to suffer the results of any other source. T	T 20 E 3 (557)
its results. Their power is of God, and they will give	T 20 E 4 (557)
power according to the Will of God. And thus their freedom	T 20 E 4 (558)
to be imprisoned. It is of them who learned of freedom	T 20 E 4 (558)
is of them who learned of freedom that you should ask	T 20 E 4 (558)
received. See, then, the power of sinlessness within your brother, and	T 20 E 5 (558)
share with him the power of the release from sin you	T 20 E 5 (558)
free himself. In the world of separation each is appointed separately	T 20 E 5 (558)
to look upon the face of Christ, and see Him sinless	T 20 E 5 (558)
The plan is not of you, nor need you be	T 20 E 6 (558)
in your part lies ALL of it, without which is no	T 20 E 6 (558)
without your part. The ark of peace is entered two by	T 20 E 6 (558)
by two, yet the beginning of another world goes with them	T 20 E 6 (558)
not, and where the Son of God can enter without fear	T 20 E 6 (558)

world rests in the hands of every two who enter here	T 20 E 7 (559)
as they rest, the face of Christ shines on them, and	T 20 E 7 (559)
and they remember the laws of God, forgetting all the rest	T 20 E 7 (559)
could no more leave one of them outside than I could	T 20 E 7 (559)
leave you and forget part of myself. T 20 E	T 20 E 7 (559)
take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose	T 20 E 9 (559)
more certain than a Son of God? ---	T 20 E 9 (559)

each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each miracle	T 20 F 1 (560)
time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald	T 20 F 1 (560)

the unity of the Son of God together. You give to	T 20 F 2 (560)
can you estimate the worth of him who offers peace to	T 20 F 4 (560)
who would see the face of Christ and yet insist that	T 20 F 4 (561)

everything. Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with means and	T 20 F 6 (561)
other ALREADY given; the face of Christ you yet will look	T 20 F 6 (561)
Can you evaluate the giver of a gift like this? Would	T 20 F 7 (561)
This gift returns the laws of God to your remembrance. And	T 20 F 7 (561)
sees the gift in both of you will offer and receive	T 20 F 7 (561)
sees. He KNOWS the Son of God, and shares his Father	T 20 F 8 (562)
is he, that the Creator of the universe should offer it	T 20 F 8 (562)
it is impossible the confidence of God should be misplaced.	T 20 F 8 (562)

G 1 The meaning of the Son of God lies	T 20 G 1 (563)
The meaning of the Son of God lies solely in his	T 20 G 1 (563)
forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy relationship	T 20 G 1 (563)
His real relationship is one of perfect union and unbroken continuity	T 20 G 1 (563)
broken into fragments and full of fear. The one created by	T 20 G 1 (563)
contrast better than the experience of both a holy and an	T 20 G 2 (563)
lost its meaning. The love of THEM has MADE love meaningless	T 20 G 3 (563)
body is an isolated speck of darkness; a hidden secret room	T 20 G 5 (564)
secret room, a tiny spot of senseless mystery, a meaningless enclosure	T 20 G 5 (564)
He Who sees the face of Christ choose as His home	T 20 G 5 (564)
will NEVER be the seat of love. It is the home	T 20 G 6 (564)
love. It is the home of the idolater, and of love	T 20 G 6 (564)
home of the idolater, and of loves condemnation. For here	T 20 G 6 (564)

Idolaters will always be afraid of love, for nothing so severely	T 20 G 7 (564)
feeling the seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake	T 20 G 7 (564)
fear is but the herald of escape. This place of darkness	T 20 G 7 (564)
herald of escape. This place of darkness is not your home	T 20 G 7 (564)
relationship. It is a state of isolation, which seems to be	T 20 G 8 (565)
instant that the mad idea of making your relationship with God	T 20 G 8 (565)
and give it the illusion of reality. And so it seemed	T 20 G 8 (565)
their going. The unholy instant of their seeming power is frail	T 20 G 9 (565)
WANT for the eternal blessing of the holy instant and its	T 20 G 9 (565)
unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the unholy relationship, so seeming	T 20 G 9 (565)
the true relationship the Son of God has with his Father	T 20 G 10 (565)
gladness for the holy one of safe return. Here is the	T 20 G 10 (565)
seems to be a wall of flesh around the mind, keeping	T 20 G 11 (566)
prisoner in a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto	T 20 G 11 (566)
grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy	T 20 G 11 (566)
to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of	T 20 G 11 (566)
of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of water	T 20 G 11 (566)
island of dry sand, bereft of water and set uncertainly upon	T 20 G 11 (566)
oblivion. Here does the Son of God stop briefly by, to	T 20 G 11 (566)
immobilized. The holy instant is of greater value now to you	T 20 G 12 (566)
little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God remains	T 20 G 13 (566)
a shadow of the fear of God remains with you. Yet	T 20 G 13 (566)
from looking on the face of Christ? And can they long	T 20 G 13 (566)
they long withhold the memory of their relationship with their Father	T 20 G 13 (566)
from themselves, and keep remembrance of His Love apart from their	T 20 G 13 (566)

have said much about discrepancies of means and end, and how	T 20 H 1 (567)

This course requires almost nothing of you. It is impossible to	T 20 H 1 (567)

you will make the error of believing the means are difficult	T 20 H 3 (567)
they are impossible, your wanting of the PURPOSE has been shaken	T 20 H 3 (567)
perfectly consistent with the goal of --- Manuscript	T 20 H 4 (567)
holiness is merely the result of letting the effects of sin	T 20 H 4 (568)
result of letting the effects of sin be lifted, so what	T 20 H 4 (568)
meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ OR of the ego	T 20 H 4 (568)
with attributes of Christ OR of the ego. Either must be	T 20 H 4 (568)
must be undone for purposes of truth. T 20 K	T 20 H 4 (568)
unholy instant IS the time of bodies. But the PURPOSE here	T 20 H 5 (568)

in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. Because of this consistency	T 20 H 5 (568)
the purpose of unholiness. Because of this consistency, the means remain	T 20 H 5 (568)
at all. In the darkness of sin, he is invisible. He	T 20 H 6 (568)

you not willingly be free of misery, and learn again of	T 20 I 2 (570)
of misery, and learn again of joy? Your holy relationship offers	T 20 I 2 (570)
is yours is also not of you. Rejoice in what is	T 20 I 2 (570)
with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy	T 20 I 3 (570)
which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is	T 20 I 3 (570)
YOURS. And bless the Son of God in your relationship, nor	T 20 I 3 (570)
him what you have made of him. T 20 I	T 20 I 3 (570)
truth? How can the engine of destruction be PREFERRED, and chosen	T 20 I 4 (571)
The body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability and loss of	T 20 I 5 (571)
of weakness, vulnerability and loss of power. Can such a savior	T 20 I 5 (571)
with it the laws beloved of Him Whose sight it IS	T 20 I 5 (571)
Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation, will be deprived	T 20 I 6 (571)
your salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy	T 20 I 6 (571)
its most holy purpose bereft of means for its accomplishment.	T 20 I 6 (571)
to play the idle game of death in your imagination. But	T 20 I 7 (571)
gently within the kindly sway of Heavens laws. What if	T 20 I 7 (571)
order, but a seeming hierarchy of values. T 20 I	T 20 I 8 (572)
serve to meet the goal of madness. They are the means	T 20 I 9 (572)

seen it change to sights of loveliness and peace; when you	T 20 I 11 (573)
you have looked on scenes of violence and death, and watched	T 20 I 11 (573)
them change to quiet views of gardens under open skies, with	T 20 I 11 (573)
you to accept the gift of vision? And after vision, who	T 20 I 11 (573)
the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of	T 21 A 1 (574)
of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a	T 21 A 1 (574)
And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless	T 21 A 1 (574)
did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold disaster	T 21 A 2 (574)
hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free	T 21 A 2 (574)
they stumble and fall because of what they did not recognize	T 21 B 1 (574)
believed it would, the learning of it would be no problem	T 21 B 3 (575)
but through the stern necessity of limits they believed they could	T 21 B 4 (575)
remember what we will speak of now. T 21 B	T 21 B 5 (575)
perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient state not quite	T 21 B 6 (575)
but just a little wisp of melody, attached not to a	T 21 B 6 (576)
but as a soft reminder of what would make you weep	T 21 B 7 (576)
somehow familiar, is an arc of golden light that stretches as	T 21 B 8 (576)
before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what	T 21 B 8 (576)
This is the vision of the Son of God, whom	T 21 B 9 (576)
the vision of the Son of God, whom you know well	T 21 B 9 (576)
well. Here is the sight of him who knows his Father	T 21 B 9 (576)
Father. Here is the memory of what you are; a part	T 21 B 9 (576)
what you are; a part of this, with all of it	T 21 B 9 (576)
part of this, with all of it within, and joined to	T 21 B 9 (576)
as is this ancient hymn of love the Son of God	T 21 B 9 (576)
hymn of love the Son of God sings to his Father	T 21 B 9 (576)
song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to	T 21 B 10 (577)
will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will	T 21 B 10 (577)
will look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering	T 21 B 10 (577)
the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is	T 21 B 10 (577)
who he is they sing of. What is a miracle but	T 21 B 10 (577)
repeated how little is asked of you to learn this course	T 21 C 1 (578)
salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion	T 21 C 1 (578)
reservations, for here the power of salvation lies: I AM responsible	T 21 C 2 (578)
are helpless in the face of what is done to you	T 21 C 2 (578)
been MISTAKEN, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.	T 21 C 2 (578)
It is impossible the Son of God be merely driven by	T 21 C 3 (578)
merely driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that	T 21 C 3 (578)
not his choice. His power of decision is the determiner of	T 21 C 3 (578)
of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he	T 21 C 3 (578)
as God created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and	T 21 C 3 (578)
and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must	T 21 C 3 (578)
Yet for this, the power of your wanting must first be	T 21 C 4 (579)
in it the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that	T 21 C 6 (579)
should happen to the Son of God WITHOUT his will; and	T 21 C 6 (579)
and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot	T 21 C 6 (579)
This is the Son of Gods REPLACEMENT for his	T 21 C 7 (579)
unreal. All that is asked of you is to make room	T 21 C 8 (580)
interference with what will happen of itself; simply to recognize again	T 21 C 8 (580)
to recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave	T 21 C 8 (580)
to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them	T 21 C 9 (580)
instant is not an instant of creation, but of recognition. For	T 21 C 9 (580)
an instant of creation, but of recognition. For recognition comes of	T 21 C 9 (580)
of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then	T 21 C 9 (580)
in sight, and wholly independent of inference and judgment. Undoing is	T 21 C 9 (580)
There is no better demonstration of the power of wanting, and	T 21 C 10 (580)
better demonstration of the power of wanting, and therefore of faith	T 21 C 10 (580)
power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals	T 21 C 10 (580)
the unreal leads to adjustments of reality to make it fit	T 21 C 10 (580)
make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin	T 21 C 10 (580)
goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of	T 21 C 10 (580)
of sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify	T 21 C 10 (580)
When vision is denied, confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable	T 21 C 11 (580)
to keep obscure the cause of the effect, and make effect	T 21 C 11 (580)
T(581) of effect enables it to be	T 21 C 11 (581)
standing by itself, and capable of serving as a cause of	T 21 C 11 (581)
of serving as a cause of the events and feelings its	T 21 C 11 (581)
causes. Long ago, we spoke of your desire to create your	T 21 C 11 (581)
himself that he is independent of his Source. His union with	T 21 C 13 (581)
with It is the Source of his creating. APART from this	T 21 C 13 (581)
depends entirely upon the madness of its maker, and cannot serve	T 21 C 13 (581)
in secret, and the instant of release has come to you	T 21 C 14 (581)
582) independence of its source that kept you	T 21 C 14 (582)
delusion that you are independent of the Source by which you	T 21 C 14 (582)
the bargain in the name of fairness, sometimes demanding payment of	T 21 D 1 (583)
of fairness, sometimes demanding payment of yourself, perhaps more often of	T 21 D 1 (583)
of yourself, perhaps more often of the other. Thus in the	T 21 D 1 (583)
comes from the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is	T 21 D 1 (583)
you have accepted the idea of making room for truth. The	T 21 D 2 (583)
room for truth. The SOURCE of sin is gone. You may	T 21 D 2 (583)
faith inevitably brings. The power of faith is NEVER recognized if	T 21 D 2 (583)
faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long	T 21 D 3 (583)
means by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them	T 21 D 4 (583)
have accepted them completely instead of yours, you will have need	T 21 D 4 (584)
yours, you will have need of them no longer. For faith	T 21 D 4 (584)
meaningful only BEFORE the state of certainty is reached. In Heaven	T 21 D 4 (584)
is impossible that the Son of God lack faith, but he	T 21 D 5 (584)
Faithlessness is not a LACK of faith, but faith in NOTHING	T 21 D 5 (584)
by it does the Son of God believe that he is	T 21 D 5 (584)
teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all	T 21 D 6 (584)
and believing in it BECAUSE of your desire. T 21	T 21 D 6 (584)
brothers in holiness. The power of belief and faith sees far	T 21 D 8 (585)
faith had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place	T 21 D 8 (585)
power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. The	T 21 D 8 (585)
this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose	T 21 D 8 (585)
anything that stands this side of Heaven. The instant for its	T 21 D 9 (585)
for you, without one spot of sin upon it, and in	T 21 D 9 (585)
innocence which makes the sight of it as beautiful as Heaven	T 21 D 9 (585)
realize you cannot see BECAUSE of it. For sacrifice must be	T 21 D 10 (585)
For sacrifice must be exacted of a body, and by another	T 21 D 10 (585)
ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could	T 21 D 10 (585)
believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable	T 21 D 10 (585)
and body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And	T 21 D 10 (585)
MUST be joined. Yet sight of one is but the sign	T 21 D 11 (586)
seen. Neither demands the sacrifice of the other. Yet on the	T 21 D 11 (586)
other. Yet on the ABSENCE of the other does each depend	T 21 D 11 (586)
seen. Yet in the light of vision it is looked upon	T 21 D 12 (586)
temples do not shake because of this. Your faith that sin	T 21 E 1 (587)
seems to be the source of fear. T 21 E	T 21 E 1 (587)
fear to look within because of sin is yet another fear	T 21 E 2 (587)
join with what is part of you in TRUTH. And your	T 21 E 3 (587)
willing to look on much of your insanity, and recognize its	T 21 E 4 (587)
was accepted by the part of your mind the ego knows	T 21 E 4 (588)
mind the ego knows not of. No more did YOU. And	T 21 E 4 (588)
been waiting for the birth of freedom; the acceptance of release	T 21 E 5 (588)
birth of freedom; the acceptance of release to come to you	T 21 E 5 (588)
teaches. This is the reasoning of the SANE. You have perceived	T 21 E 6 (588)
is its strength. The song of freedom, which sings the praises	T 21 E 7 (588)
freedom, which sings the praises of another world, brings to it	T 21 E 7 (588)
world, brings to it hope of peace. For it REMEMBERS Heaven	T 21 E 7 (588)
ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness the	T 21 E 8 (589)
the mind directs. The laws of size and shape and brightness	T 21 F 1 (590)
the conditions in which awareness of reality is possible, or those	T 21 F 1 (590)
be itself. But your awareness of it needs your help because	T 21 F 2 (590)
will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence	T 21 F 2 (590)
sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You will	T 21 F 2 (590)
other Self is perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes	T 21 F 3 (590)
extent to which the idea of separation has interfered with reason	T 21 F 4 (591)
stay in it is capable of reason. How can the segment	T 21 F 4 (591)
reason. How can the segment of the mind devoid of reason	T 21 F 4 (591)
segment of the mind devoid of reason understand what reason is	T 21 F 4 (591)
it would give? All sorts of questions may arise in it	T 21 F 4 (591)
been accepted by the Son of God, for what God wills	T 21 F 5 (591)
him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to	T 21 F 5 (591)
Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you	T 21 F 5 (591)
there must be a part of you that knows His Will	T 21 F 6 (591)
ask why you are UNAWARE of what is so, for this	T 21 F 6 (591)
an answer if the plan of God for your salvation is	T 21 F 6 (591)
because its Source knows not of incompletion. Where would the answer	T 21 F 6 (591)
as much a true effect of this same Source as is	T 21 F 6 (591)
this alone. Yet any part of knowledge threatens dissociation as much	T 21 F 7 (592)
dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it	T 21 F 7 (592)
all of it. And all of it WILL come with any	T 21 F 7 (592)
and re-directed from the goal of sin, as are the others	T 21 F 7 (592)
beyond the egos range of means. T 21 F	T 21 F 7 (592)
and only they have need of it. Knowledge does not depend	T 21 F 8 (592)
F 9 The part of mind where reason lies was	T 21 F 9 (592)
Fathers, to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy	T 21 F 9 (592)
Knowledge is far beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can	T 21 F 9 (592)
the belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about	T 21 G 1 (594)
and therefore unreal. The home of madness cannot be the home	T 21 G 3 (594)
madness cannot be the home of reason. Yet it is easy	T 21 G 3 (594)
easy to leave the home of madness if you see reason	T 21 G 3 (594)
reason that drives it out of mind, and takes its place	T 21 G 4 (594)
attack, but takes the place of madness ---	T 21 G 4 (594)
if it be the will of the insane to listen to	T 21 G 4 (595)
real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would	T 21 G 4 (595)
if you heard the voice of reason. What can there be	T 21 G 5 (595)
If you choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the	T 21 G 6 (595)
you would condemn the Son of God to what can never	T 21 G 6 (595)
forever, and without a hope of safe return. You teach him	T 21 G 6 (595)
this, and you will learn of him EXACTLY what you taught	T 21 G 6 (595)
blessed by it, and healed of pain. T 21 G	T 21 G 6 (595)
power to heal the Son of God is given you because	T 21 G 7 (595)
serves to bring complete correction of his ---	T 21 G 7 (595)
from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you will	T 21 G 7 (596)
will lay down the burden of denying truth. THIS is the	T 21 G 7 (596)
is your salvation; the gift of Heaven, not the gift of	T 21 G 8 (596)
of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven seem to	T 21 G 8 (596)
YOURS. Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was	T 21 G 9 (596)
instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to	T 21 G 9 (596)
what has been given BOTH of you. To give is no	T 21 G 9 (596)
G 10 The Son of God is ALWAYS blessed as	T 21 G 10 (596)
he offers you reminds you of the thanks your Father gives	T 21 G 10 (596)
you have over the Son of God is not a threat	T 21 G 11 (597)
Being helpless is the COST of sin. Helplessness is sins	T 21 H 1 (598)
there. Treachery to the Son of God is the defense of	T 21 H 1 (598)
of God is the defense of those who do not identify	T 21 H 1 (598)
No one believes the Son of God is powerless. And those	T 21 H 2 (598)
they are not the Son of God. What can they be	T 21 H 2 (598)
their envy make themselves afraid of it? These are the dark	T 21 H 2 (598)
not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God will	T 21 H 2 (598)
the power of the Son of God will strike them dead	T 21 H 2 (598)
him. They join the army of the powerless, to wage their	T 21 H 2 (598)
powerless, to wage their war of vengeance, bitterness and spite on	T 21 H 2 (598)
would be impossible. The army of the powerless must be disbanded	T 21 H 3 (598)
be disbanded in the presence of strength. Those who are strong	T 21 H 3 (598)
have no need to dream of power and to act out	T 21 H 3 (598)
H 4 The army of the powerless is weak indeed	T 21 H 4 (599)
thinking it caught a glimpse of the great enemy which always	T 21 H 4 (599)
a world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do	T 21 H 5 (599)
where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I DESIRE a	T 21 H 5 (599)
year would emphasize the sameness of things that ARE the same	T 21 H 6 (599)
be the last remaining hope of finding sin, and not accepting	T 21 H 6 (599)
Forget not that the choice of truth or sin, power or	T 21 H 7 (599)
is the choice of whether to attack or heal	T 21 H 7 (600)
or heal. For healing comes of power, and attack of helplessness	T 21 H 7 (600)
comes of power, and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you	T 21 H 7 (600)
you look on the effects of sin in any form, all	T 21 H 8 (600)
to WHY. You HAVE control of this. And if you choose	T 21 H 9 (600)
desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you	T 21 H 10 (600)
willing to exchange the world of sin for what the Holy	T 21 H 11 (600)
it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those	T 21 H 11 (600)
sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the	T 21 H 11 (600)
WISH for constancy. The power of the Son of Gods	T 21 H 13 (601)
The power of the Son of Gods desire remains the	T 21 H 13 (601)
And so he dies BECAUSE of what he learned. He goes	T 21 I 1 (601)
I 2 The constancy of joy is a condition quite	T 21 I 2 (601)
I 3 The constancy of happiness has no exceptions; no	T 21 I 3 (602)
has no exceptions; no change of any kind. It is unshakable	T 21 I 3 (602)
unshakable as is the Love of God for His creation. Sure	T 21 I 3 (602)
to ask for his desire of something he believes holds out	T 21 I 4 (602)
believes holds out some promise of the power of giving it	T 21 I 4 (602)
some promise of the power of giving it. He may be	T 21 I 4 (602)
what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he WILL ask	T 21 I 4 (602)
Yet what he is uncertain of, God CANNOT give. For he	T 21 I 4 (602)
appeal to reason; the awareness of what is always there to	T 21 I 6 (602)
for time is powerless because of your desire for what will	T 21 I 6 (603)
nothing stand between the holiness of your relationship and your AWARENESS	T 21 I 6 (603)
your relationship and your AWARENESS of its holiness.	T 21 I 6 (603)
A 2 The holiness of your relationship forgives you both	T 22 A 2 (604)
you both, undoing the effects of what you both believed and	T 22 A 2 (604)
they wander through a world of strangers, unlike themselves, living with	T 22 A 2 (604)
selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, he looks	T 22 A 3 (604)
sameness. And here is sight of differences transformed to VISION. And	T 22 A 4 (604)
you to the logical conclusion of your union. It	T 22 A 4 (604)
and finally removes all sense of differences, so that the sameness	T 22 A 4 (605)
where you recognize the Son of God. For what is born	T 22 A 4 (605)
B. The Message of the Holy Relationship	T 22 B 0 (606)
your strange uneasiness, your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting	T 22 B 1 (606)
disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself	T 22 B 1 (606)
your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise? It	T 22 B 1 (606)
wandered in without a plan of any kind except to wander	T 22 B 1 (606)
earlier, but it was not of YOU. And yet this strange	T 22 B 2 (606)
whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which look upon	T 22 B 2 (606)
brain interprets to the body, of which it is a part	T 22 B 2 (606)
to you. YOUR vision would, of course, render this quite unnecessary	T 22 B 3 (606)
lead you through a world of misery, waiting to tell you	T 22 B 3 (607)
indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from correction	T 22 B 4 (607)
from correction, for the attraction of guilt is only fear. Here	T 22 B 4 (607)
be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and	T 22 B 4 (607)
is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and of the	T 22 B 4 (607)
secrecy, of private thoughts, and of the body. This is the	T 22 B 4 (607)
and always leads to sight of differences and loss of sameness	T 22 B 4 (607)
sight of differences and loss of sameness. Here is the one	T 22 B 4 (607)
T 22 B 6 Of all the messages you have	T 22 B 6 (607)
the ability to communicate instead of separate reborn. Yet a holy	T 22 B 7 (608)
will speak the language both of you can understand. He is	T 22 B 7 (608)
newcomer, dependent on the holiness of your relationship to let Him	T 22 B 8 (608)
Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of being	T 22 B 9 (608)
part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it	T 22 B 9 (608)
possible that anything not part of Him CAN join. Communication must	T 22 B 9 (608)
other through a vision not of the body, and communicated in	T 22 B 9 (608)
must be. It is DENIAL of illusions that calls on truth	T 22 B 10 (609)
C 1 The opposite of illusions is not disillusionment, but	T 22 C 1 (610)
Both bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems	T 22 C 1 (610)
suffering in the dark folds of the heavy garments with which	T 22 C 1 (610)
and hidden from the joy of truth. T 22 C	T 22 C 1 (610)
Truth is the opposite of illusions because it offers joy	T 22 C 2 (610)
joy could be the opposite of misery? To leave one kind	T 22 C 2 (610)
misery? To leave one kind of misery and seek another is	T 22 C 2 (610)
possible in the dark world of misery is to select some	T 22 C 2 (610)
to select some aspects out of it, see them as different	T 22 C 2 (610)
accepted is irrelevant. No form of misery, in reasons eyes	T 22 C 3 (610)
real. Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise. And	T 22 C 4 (611)
this, but what they MAKE of it is not the same	T 22 C 5 (611)
for reason sees the SOURCE of an idea as what will	T 22 C 5 (611)
course, for here the separation of you and the ego must	T 22 C 6 (611)
do what holds no hope of ever being done. YOU know	T 22 C 6 (611)
between yourself and an ILLUSION of yourself. NOT both, but ONE	T 22 C 6 (611)
to choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of	T 22 C 7 (612)
of Heaven and the misery of Hell. Until you choose Heaven	T 22 C 7 (612)
There is no part of Heaven you can take and	T 22 C 8 (612)
we see again another form of the same fundamental illusion we	T 22 C 9 (612)
it were possible the Son of God could leave his Father	T 22 C 9 (612)
news to hear not one of the illusions that you made	T 22 C 10 (613)
exchange, in gratitude, the function of an executioner you gave him	T 22 C 11 (613)
he has in truth? Receive of him what God has given	T 22 C 11 (613)
is your holy relationship, beloved of God Himself. How still it	T 22 C 12 (613)
released entirely from all effects of sin. Would you have partial	T 22 C 13 (613)
misery? Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God created	T 22 C 13 (613)
D 1 The introduction of reason into the egos	T 22 D 1 (614)
thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and	T 22 D 1 (614)
for here is the beginning of a vision that has meaning	T 22 D 1 (614)
belief in sin, and disregard of errors. It looks on NOTHING	T 22 D 2 (614)
brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can	T 22 D 3 (614)
on it without the help of reason would try to pass	T 22 D 3 (614)
4 ONLY the form of error attracts the ego. Meaning	T 22 D 4 (614)
615) fragment of the whole, without the meaning	T 22 D 4 (615)
give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be corrected	T 22 D 4 (615)
tell you that the form of error is not what makes	T 22 D 5 (615)
look beyond the granite block of sin, and stopping at the	T 22 D 5 (615)
stopping at the outside form of nothing. To this distorted form	T 22 D 5 (615)
nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of everything	T 22 D 5 (615)
form of vision, the outside of everything, the wall that stands	T 22 D 5 (615)
Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight of form	T 22 D 6 (615)
perception of form. For sight of form means understanding has been	T 22 D 6 (615)
Let not the FORM of his mistakes keep you from	T 22 D 8 (616)
yours. Let not the vision of his holiness, the sight of	T 22 D 8 (616)
of his holiness, the sight of which would show you your	T 22 D 8 (616)
can see. Let your awareness of your brother not be blocked	T 22 D 8 (616)
be blocked by your perception of his sins, and of his	T 22 D 8 (616)
perception of his sins, and of his body. What is there	T 22 D 8 (616)
it is; a common state of mind, where both give errors	T 22 D 9 (616)
E. The Branching of the Road	T 22 E 0 (617)
go NOWHERE. The whole purpose of coming this far was to	T 22 E 1 (617)
And there is no part of the journey that seems more	T 22 E 1 (617)
choice made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot	T 22 E 2 (617)
holy place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you	T 22 E 3 (617)
between you and the face of Christ. LET it be lifted	T 22 E 3 (617)
will happen after! The love of Christ will light your faces	T 22 E 3 (617)
22 E 4 Think of the loveliness that you will	T 22 E 4 (617)
think how beautiful will each of you look to the other	T 22 E 4 (617)
you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you	T 22 E 4 (617)
to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as	T 22 E 4 (618)
all who share the Love of God the grace is given	T 22 E 6 (618)
given to be the givers of what they have received. And	T 22 E 6 (618)
Redeemer, and carrying His message of hope and freedom and release	T 22 E 6 (618)
alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship; to receive	T 22 E 7 (618)
Only illusions need defense because of weakness. And how can it	T 22 F 1 (619)
difficult to walk the way of truth, when only weakness interferes	T 22 F 1 (619)
truth, flies in the face of reason, and makes no sense	T 22 F 2 (619)
carved into a block out of your peace, and laid between	T 22 F 2 (619)
the means and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In	T 22 F 3 (619)
insignificant before the quiet strength of those whom love has joined	T 22 F 4 (619)
its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence, and would drown	T 22 F 4 (620)
would drown out the hymn of praise to its Creator which	T 22 F 4 (620)
mouse, but by the Will of God. And can a mouse	T 22 F 4 (620)
between you and your awareness of your union! Be not deceived	T 22 F 5 (620)
by the illusions it presents of size and thickness, weight, solidity	T 22 F 5 (620)
thickness, weight, solidity and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body	T 22 F 5 (620)
come together? Can the illusion of immovability be long defended from	T 22 F 5 (620)
alone. This is the cost of ALL illusions. Not one but	T 22 F 6 (620)
must be convinced, in spite of what you thought it was	T 22 F 6 (620)
impenetrable, and defends the illusion of its immovability.	T 22 F 6 (620)
Do you want freedom of the body or of the	T 22 G 1 (621)
freedom of the body or of the mind? For both you	T 22 G 1 (621)
end is reached the value of the means decreases, eclipsed entirely	T 22 G 1 (621)
He will believe it possible of mind or body, and he	T 22 G 1 (621)
G 2 Where freedom of the body has been chosen	T 22 G 2 (621)
bodys freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning	T 22 G 2 (621)
chooses this has no idea of what IS valuable. Yet even	T 22 G 2 (621)
in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is	T 22 G 2 (621)
outcome as He is sure of His Creators Love. He	T 22 G 2 (621)
He can change the role of means and end so easily	T 22 G 3 (621)
GOAL is sinlessness. The lack of contradiction makes the soft transition	T 22 G 3 (621)
sky you see, is chosen of your Father as a means	T 22 G 4 (622)
to heal all pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you	T 22 G 4 (622)
regardless of its form. Neither of you alone can serve at	T 22 G 4 (622)
is no sin. The form of error is no longer seen	T 22 G 5 (622)
error, and lays a part of Heaven in its place. How	T 22 G 5 (622)
gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is	T 22 G 5 (622)
now on YOU. The means of sinlessness can know no fear	T 22 G 5 (622)
22 G 6 Children of peace, the light HAS come	T 22 G 6 (622)
you bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No	T 22 G 6 (622)
that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can long	T 22 G 6 (622)
illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship which has become	T 22 G 6 (622)
which has become the means of peace. T 22 G	T 22 G 6 (622)
you cannot overlook? What form of suffering could block your sight	T 22 G 7 (622)
it willingly. And COULD remembrance of what they are be long	T 22 G 7 (623)
beholds his Savior in place of the attacker who he thought	T 22 G 8 (623)
He will use every one of them for peace. Nor will	T 22 G 8 (623)
Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit	T 22 G 9 (623)
take each one and make of it a potent force for	T 22 G 9 (623)
to make each little gift of love a source of healing	T 22 G 9 (623)
gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each little	T 22 G 9 (623)
gently in each quiet smile of faith and confidence with which	T 22 G 9 (623)
your learning depends the welfare of the world. And it is	T 22 G 10 (623)
that would deny the power of your will. Think you the	T 22 G 10 (623)
will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this	T 22 G 10 (623)
destroyed, and at the mercy of countless attackers more powerful than	T 22 G 10 (624)
seems to keep the fear of God in place, unmovable and	T 22 G 10 (624)
Who can attack the Son of God and NOT attack his	T 22 G 11 (624)
that They are separate, because of fear. For it seems safer	T 22 G 11 (624)
to attack the great Creator of the universe, Whose power you	T 22 G 11 (624)
this while you believe attack of any kind means anything. It	T 22 G 12 (624)
justified is if each one of you were separate from the	T 22 G 12 (624)
possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole	T 22 G 12 (624)
ARE different. From the position of what you understand, you seem	T 22 G 13 (625)
be, and therefore can attack. Of the alternatives, this seems more	T 22 G 13 (625)
This is the function of your holy relationship. For what	T 22 G 14 (625)
your relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator	T 22 G 14 (625)
a reflection of the union of the Creator and His Son	T 22 G 14 (625)
unlimited because each shining thought of love extends its being, and	T 22 G 14 (625)
its being, and creates more of itself. There is no difference	T 22 G 14 (625)
can also teach the power of love is there, which makes	T 22 G 15 (625)
attempt to keep a little of the ego with this gift	T 22 G 15 (625)
you not see the opposite of frailty and weakness is sinlessness	T 23 A 1 (626)
sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The	T 23 A 1 (626)
kind is weakness. The show of strength attack would use to	T 23 A 1 (626)
weak is NOT the Will of God. Being opposed to It	T 23 A 1 (626)
try to weaken it because of this; and you will think	T 23 A 2 (626)
is harmful, for their awareness of the truth releases everything from	T 23 A 3 (626)
releases everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful	T 23 A 3 (626)
love. They share the strength of love BECAUSE they looked on	T 23 A 3 (626)
There CAN be no attraction of guilt in innocence. Think what	T 23 A 4 (626)
not give up this world of freedom for a little sigh	T 23 A 4 (626)
freedom for a little sigh of seeming sin, nor for a	T 23 A 4 (626)
nor for a tiny stirring of guilts attraction. Would you	T 23 A 4 (626)
is at variance with littleness of any kind. And so it	T 23 A 4 (627)
time intrude upon your sight of him. Leave him not frightened	T 23 A 5 (627)
it and perceive the light of which he is a part	T 23 A 5 (627)
around you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly	T 23 A 6 (627)
lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So will	T 23 A 6 (627)
will be re-interpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is	T 23 A 6 (627)
a world in bitter need of the redemption that your innocence	T 23 A 6 (627)
B 1 The memory of God comes to the quiet	T 23 B 1 (628)
not eternal gentleness. The means of war are not the means	T 23 B 1 (628)
war are not the means of peace, and what the warlike	T 23 B 1 (628)
you would WANT? The death of God, if it were possible	T 23 B 2 (628)
the mad belief the Will of God can be attacked and	T 23 B 2 (628)
ego joins with an illusion of yourself you SHARE with it	T 23 B 3 (628)
end is at the place of peace. Would you not now	T 23 B 4 (629)
your sight, into the giver of your peace. Your enemy was	T 23 B 4 (629)
all conflict, triumph and attack of any kind are all unknown	T 23 B 4 (629)
completely and eternally. The Son of God at war with his	T 23 B 4 (629)
proclaiming that it is part of itself no more. T	T 23 B 4 (629)
say what shall be part of you, and what is kept	T 23 B 5 (629)
undertaken to teach the Son of God that he is not	T 23 B 5 (629)
Son. For this, the memory of his Father MUST be forgotten	T 23 B 5 (629)
are. Only a strange illusion of yourself, a wish to triumph	T 23 B 5 (629)
yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to make	T 23 B 6 (629)
insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness holds	T 23 B 6 (629)
deny is not a part of them. T 23 B	T 23 B 6 (629)
YOU remember IS a part of you. For you MUST be	T 23 B 7 (629)
with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state	T 23 B 7 (630)
and quiet in the peace of God. T 23 B	T 23 B 7 (630)
attack that is not part of you. And BY attacking it	T 23 B 8 (630)
it, you make two illusions of yourself, in conflict with each	T 23 B 8 (630)
for it is the BIRTH of fear. Yet what is born	T 23 B 8 (630)
fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality through	T 23 B 8 (630)
in peace to the remembrance of God, still shining in your	T 23 B 8 (630)
See how the conflict of illusions disappears when it is	T 23 B 9 (630)
the more real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less	T 23 B 9 (630)
home, and drive Him out of what He loves forever. And	T 23 B 9 (630)
And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, being	T 23 B 9 (630)
B 10 The stillness of your certainty of Him and	T 23 B 10 (630)
The stillness of your certainty of Him and of yourself is	T 23 B 10 (630)
your certainty of Him and of yourself is home to both	T 23 B 10 (630)
yourself is home to both of you, who dwell as one	T 23 B 10 (630)
not apart. Open the door of His most holy home, and	T 23 B 10 (630)
forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in sin that	T 23 B 10 (630)
not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your brother to	T 23 B 10 (630)
How can the resting place of God turn on itself, and	T 23 B 11 (631)
what happens when the house of God perceives itself divided. The	T 23 B 11 (631)
light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a	T 23 B 11 (631)
Holy One becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered	T 23 B 11 (631)
illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. Peace	T 23 B 12 (631)
disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that	T 23 B 12 (631)

C 1 The laws of chaos can be brought to	T 23 C 1 (632)
hardly meaningful, and therefore out of reasons sphere. Yet they	T 23 C 1 (632)
and has a different set of thoughts which set him off	T 23 C 2 (632)
belief there is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable	T 23 C 2 (632)
interfere with the first principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees	T 23 C 3 (632)
miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth among illusions, making it	T 23 C 3 (632)
making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome	T 23 C 3 (632)
that miracles apply to ALL of them. Errors of any kind	T 23 C 3 (632)
to ALL of them. Errors of any kind can be corrected	T 23 C 3 (632)
When brought to truth instead of to EACH OTHER, they merely	T 23 C 3 (632)
they merely disappear. No part of nothing can be more resistant	T 23 C 3 (632)
4 The second law of chaos, dear indeed to every	T 23 C 4 (632)
dear indeed to every worshipper of sin, is that each one	T 23 C 4 (632)
not correction. For the destruction of the one who makes the	T 23 C 4 (632)
being the belief the Son of God can make mistakes for	T 23 C 4 (633)
And their relationship is one of opposition, just as the separate	T 23 C 5 (633)
just as the separate aspects of the Son meet only to	T 23 C 5 (633)
by his defeat. And fear of God and of each other	T 23 C 5 (633)
And fear of God and of each other now appears as	T 23 C 5 (633)
real by what the Son of God has done both to	T 23 C 5 (633)
arrogance on which the laws of chaos stand could not be	T 23 C 5 (633)
would define what the Creator of reality must be; what He	T 23 C 6 (633)
be asked about the truth of what has been established for	T 23 C 6 (633)
See how the fear of God is reinforced by this	T 23 C 7 (633)
inevitable, and beyond the help of God. And now salvation must	T 23 C 7 (633)
not forgiveness, is the Will of God. From where	T 23 C 8 (633)
begins, there is no sight of help that can succeed. Only	T 23 C 8 (634)
WANTS. That is the function of this course, which does not	T 23 C 8 (634)
leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the others	T 23 C 9 (634)
23 C 10 All of the mechanisms of madness are	T 23 C 10 (634)
All of the mechanisms of madness are seen emerging here	T 23 C 10 (634)
attack by the unscrupulous behavior of the enemy, they would respond	T 23 C 10 (634)
And here a final principle of chaos comes to the rescue	T 23 C 12 (635)
magic that will cure all of your pain; the missing factor	T 23 C 12 (635)
belongs. He would deprive you of the secret ingredient which would	T 23 C 12 (635)
The substitute for love, born of your enmity to one another	T 23 C 12 (635)
relationships have but the purpose of seizing it, and making it	T 23 C 12 (635)
That is apparent. The means of madness must be insane. Are	T 23 C 13 (635)
TRUE. It is the function of insanity to take the PLACE	T 23 C 14 (635)
insanity to take the PLACE of truth. It must be seen	T 23 C 14 (635)
is the goal the laws of chaos serve. These are the	T 23 C 14 (636)
means by which the laws of God appear to be reversed	T 23 C 14 (636)
reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to hold love	T 23 C 14 (636)
SEEM to be the goals of chaos, for by the great	T 23 C 15 (636)
appear to be the laws of ORDER. How could it not	T 23 C 15 (636)
perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as	T 23 C 15 (636)
is lifted to the throne of love, its dying conqueror, its	T 23 C 15 (636)
How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear! Give	T 23 C 15 (636)
throne, who saved the Son of God for fear and death	T 23 C 15 (636)
seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel belief but	T 23 C 16 (636)
emphasis on FORM and disregard of CONTENT. No one who thinks	T 23 C 16 (636)
one who thinks that one of them is true SEES what	T 23 C 16 (636)
How can some forms of murder NOT mean death? Can	T 23 C 17 (636)
form be love? What FORM of condemnation is a blessing? Who	T 23 C 17 (636)
salvation? Let not the form of the attack on him deceive	T 23 C 17 (636)
as this? Can ANY form of this be tenable? Yet you	T 23 C 18 (637)
There IS no life outside of Heaven. Where God created life	T 23 C 19 (637)
in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in Heaven	T 23 C 19 (637)
Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of	T 23 C 19 (637)
of Heaven, only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible and	T 23 C 19 (637)
C 20 The laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their	T 23 C 20 (637)
on the belief the laws of chaos are the laws of	T 23 C 20 (637)
of chaos are the laws of order as do the others	T 23 C 20 (637)
true. The seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less	T 23 C 20 (637)
illusions will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply	T 23 C 20 (637)
for their form. And lack of faith in love, in ANY	T 23 C 20 (637)
different form in the progression of truths reversal, leading still	T 23 C 21 (637)
are you sure the goal of Heaven CAN be reached? If	T 23 C 22 (638)
you, and GIVE you certainty of where you go.	T 23 C 22 (638)
you do not recognize some of the forms attack can take	T 23 D 1 (639)
not always recognize the source of pain. Attack in ANY form	T 23 D 1 (639)
is murder, and what form of murder serves to cover the	T 23 D 1 (639)
massive guilt and frantic fear of punishment the murderer must feel	T 23 D 1 (639)
still. For no one thinks of murder and escapes the guilt	T 23 D 1 (639)
give him nothing, and receive of him but what you gave	T 23 D 2 (639)
Salvation is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is	T 23 D 3 (639)
is to accept but part of what you want; to take	T 23 D 3 (639)
for everyone. Let the idea of compromise but enter, and the	T 23 D 3 (639)
but enter, and the awareness of salvations purpose is lost	T 23 D 3 (639)
it would teach a little of the same can still be	T 23 D 3 (639)
impossible that YOU lose sight of it? It can be kept	T 23 D 4 (640)
forever clear and never out of sight, if you defend it	T 23 D 4 (640)
fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that	T 23 D 6 (640)
shelter you. Not one illusion of protection stands against the faith	T 23 D 6 (640)
E. The Fear of Life T	T 23 E 0 (641)
E 1 The fear of God is fear of LIFE	T 23 E 1 (641)
fear of God is fear of LIFE, and not of death	T 23 E 1 (641)
fear of LIFE, and not of death. Yet He remains the	T 23 E 1 (641)
He remains the only place of safety. In Him is no	T 23 E 1 (641)
does violence to the idea of love because it seems to	T 23 E 1 (641)
because it seems to be of EQUAL truth. T 23	T 23 E 1 (641)
lifeless cannot BE the Son of Life. How can a body	T 23 E 2 (641)
sinful to believe the function of the Son is murder, but	T 23 E 3 (641)
4 The lovely light of your relationship is like the	T 23 E 4 (641)
relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume	T 23 E 4 (641)
His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not complete	T 23 E 4 (641)
to all creation. Each form of murder and attack that still	T 23 E 4 (641)
not your will. The OVERLOOKING of the battleground is now your	T 23 E 4 (642)
different. Here in the midst of it, it DOES seem real	T 23 E 5 (642)
have CHOSEN to be part of it. Here murder IS your	T 23 E 5 (642)
the choice is miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming	T 23 E 5 (642)
may battle, but the clash of forms is meaningless. And it	T 23 E 5 (642)
it? How can the truth of miracles be recognized if murder	T 23 E 5 (642)
know. There is a stab of pain, a twinge of guilt	T 23 E 6 (642)
stab of pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a	T 23 E 6 (642)
and above all, a loss of peace. This you know well	T 23 E 6 (642)
quickly choose a miracle INSTEAD of murder. And God Himself and	T 23 E 6 (642)
Himself and all the lights of Heaven will gently lean to	T 23 E 6 (642)
illusion can attack the peace of God together with His Son	T 23 E 6 (642)
They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only	T 23 E 8 (643)
happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think	T 23 E 8 (643)
perfect calmness, and a sense of love so deep and quiet	T 23 E 8 (643)
and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your	T 23 E 8 (643)
Those with the strength of God in their awareness could	T 23 E 9 (643)
their awareness could never think of battle. What could they gain	T 23 E 9 (643)
could they gain but LOSS of their perfection? For everything fought	T 23 E 9 (643)
for on the battleground is of the body; something it seems	T 23 E 9 (643)
bodys offerings. The senselessness of conquest is quite apparent from	T 23 E 9 (643)
more? Who with the Love of God upholding him could find	T 23 E 9 (643)
him could find the choice of miracles or murder hard to	T 23 E 9 (643)
the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. Given	T 24 A 1 (644)
the keeping of the state of peace. Given this state the	T 24 A 1 (644)
believe. It is the OUTCOME of belief, and follows it as	T 24 A 2 (644)
rose in His Mind BECAUSE of what He knows. B	T 24 A 2 (644)
in secret, where the results of conflict are kept unknown and	T 24 B 2 (644)
Mistake you not the power of these hidden warriors to disrupt	T 24 B 2 (645)
it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to	T 24 B 2 (645)
decision to choose attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to	T 24 B 2 (645)
always clashes with the reality of Gods creation, and with	T 24 B 3 (645)
not the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of	T 24 B 3 (645)
of any kind imposes orders of reality, and a need to	T 24 B 3 (645)
from someone better, someone incapable of being like what he condemns	T 24 B 4 (645)
feel weak and frail BECAUSE of differences, for what would make	T 24 B 4 (645)
Specialness is the great dictator of the wrong decisions. Here is	T 24 B 5 (645)
Here is the grand illusion of what you are, and what	T 24 B 5 (645)
you could, if his attainment of it were perceived as yours	T 24 B 6 (646)
chose to see no specialness of any kind between you? Look	T 24 B 7 (646)
B 8 The fear of God, and of each other	T 24 B 8 (646)
The fear of God, and of each other, comes from each	T 24 B 8 (646)
or suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice, or stab of hate	T 24 B 8 (646)
twinge of malice, or stab of hate, or wish to separate	T 24 B 8 (646)
share becomes obscured from both of you. You would oppose this	T 24 B 8 (646)
relationship has been made clean of special goals. And would you	T 24 B 8 (647)
you now DEFEAT the goal of holiness that Heaven gave it	T 24 B 8 (647)
an attack upon the Will of God? You love your brother	T 24 B 9 (647)
protect. Here is the ground of battle which you wage against	T 24 B 9 (647)
C. The Treachery of Specialness T	T 24 C 0 (648)
you not chosen to make of him a tiny measure of	T 24 C 1 (648)
of him a tiny measure of your specialness instead. Against the	T 24 C 1 (648)
24 C 2 Pursuit of specialness is always at the	T 24 C 2 (648)
is always at the cost of peace. Who can attack his	T 24 C 2 (648)
use him as the gauge of littleness, and be RELEASED from	T 24 C 2 (648)
you joy. But the pursuit of specialness MUST bring you pain	T 24 C 2 (648)
run counter to the Will of God. To value specialness is	T 24 C 2 (648)
alien will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the	T 24 C 2 (648)
Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is	T 24 C 3 (648)
sin arose from it, out of nothingness; an evil flower with	T 24 C 3 (648)
exile from himself, and Him of Whom they are a part	T 24 C 3 (648)
They chose their specialness instead of Heaven and instead of peace	T 24 C 3 (648)
instead of Heaven and instead of peace, and wrapped it carefully	T 24 C 3 (648)
your specialness against the truth of what you REALLY are, how	T 24 C 4 (648)
you eternally in loving praise of what you are, is all	T 24 C 4 (649)
to. And that vast song of honor and of love for	T 24 C 4 (649)
vast song of honor and of love for what you are	T 24 C 4 (649)
voice, and yet the Call of God Himself is soundless to	T 24 C 4 (649)
would see) The shining radiance of the Son of God, so	T 24 C 6 (649)
shining radiance of the Son of God, so like his Father	T 24 C 6 (649)
his Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to mind	T 24 C 6 (649)
This is the only cost of truth: You will no longer	T 24 C 6 (649)
and to receive the Love of God forever? T 24	T 24 C 6 (649)
between him and the function of salvation given him for you	T 24 C 7 (649)
release to BOTH of you. Here stands your brother	T 24 C 7 (650)
you. Let not the dream of specialness remain between you. What	T 24 C 7 (650)
24 C 8 Think of the loveliness that you will	T 24 C 8 (650)
friend. He IS the enemy of specialness, but only friend to	T 24 C 8 (650)
come far along the way of truth; too far to falter	T 24 C 9 (650)
step more, and every vestige of the fear of God will	T 24 C 9 (650)
every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in	T 24 C 9 (650)
stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this place, to	T 24 C 9 (650)
specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as	T 24 C 10 (650)
in need of your acceptance of himself as part of you	T 24 C 10 (650)
acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his	T 24 C 10 (650)
would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself	T 24 C 10 (650)
you. Not special, but possessed of everything INCLUDING you. T	T 24 C 10 (650)
God gave Himself to both of you in equal love, that	T 24 C 11 (650)
ARE your brothers; part of love was not denied to	T 24 C 11 (651)
specialness could make the truth of God and you AS one	T 24 C 11 (651)
but Heaven, and the hope of peace at last in sight	T 24 C 11 (651)
Specialness is the seal of treachery upon the gift of	T 24 C 12 (651)
of treachery upon the gift of love. Whatever serves its purpose	T 24 C 12 (651)
veils but looks on sight of death. Not one believer in	T 24 C 12 (651)
weapon, and the great defender of all illusions from the threat	T 24 C 12 (651)
all illusions from the threat of love. T 24 C	T 24 C 12 (651)
C 13 The hope of specialness makes it seem possible	T 24 C 13 (651)
brothers; safe from all intrusions of sanity upon illusions; safe from	T 24 C 13 (651)
everlasting. Here are the gates of Hell you closed upon yourself	T 24 C 13 (651)
for your salvation in place of yours. How could this readiness	T 24 C 14 (651)
reached save through the sight of all your misery, and the	T 24 C 14 (651)
bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this	T 24 C 14 (651)
yet it is but ILLUSION of despair. The death of specialness	T 24 C 14 (652)
ILLUSION of despair. The death of specialness is not YOUR death	T 24 C 14 (652)
but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the	T 24 C 14 (652)
you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created you	T 24 C 14 (652)
D. The Forgiveness of Specialness T	T 24 D 0 (653)
Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only illusions can be	T 24 D 1 (653)
D 2 Whatever form of specialness you cherish, you have	T 24 D 2 (653)
puny might against the Will of God. And thus it stands	T 24 D 2 (653)
stands like a flaming sword of death between them, and makes	T 24 D 4 (654)
could they will the death of love itself? Yet they are	T 24 D 5 (654)
Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of	T 24 D 6 (654)
of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness	T 24 D 6 (654)
universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect	T 24 D 6 (654)
and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your	T 24 D 6 (654)
perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the	T 24 D 6 (654)
your brother from the depths of Hell, you have forgiven Him	T 24 D 6 (654)
rest forever in the arms of peace, in perfect safety, and	T 24 D 6 (654)
without the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to	T 24 D 6 (654)
and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest	T 24 D 6 (654)
asleep, surrounded by a world of loveliness they do not see	T 24 D 7 (654)
and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear nothing	T 24 D 7 (654)
They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the call	T 24 D 7 (654)
D 8 The slaves of specialness will yet be free	T 24 D 8 (655)
free. Such is the Will of God, and of His Son	T 24 D 8 (655)
the Will of God, and of His Son. Would God condemn	T 24 D 8 (655)
Hell. Look on the print of nails upon his hands that	T 24 D 8 (655)
Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will	T 24 D 8 (655)
Love not your specialness instead of them. The prints of nails	T 24 D 8 (655)
instead of them. The prints of nails are on your hands	T 24 D 8 (655)
Specialness is a lack of trust in anyone except yourself	T 24 E 1 (656)
dangerous, hated and worthy only of destruction. Whatever gentleness it offers	T 24 E 1 (656)
hate is real. In danger of destruction it must kill, and	T 24 E 1 (656)
salvation can only mean destruction of the world, except yourself.	T 24 E 1 (656)
What could the purpose of the body BE but specialness	T 24 E 2 (656)
frail and helpless. The goal of separation is its curse. Yet	T 24 E 2 (656)
HAVE no goal. Purpose is of the MIND. And minds can	T 24 E 2 (656)
body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do	T 24 E 2 (656)
is quite obvious. The purpose of attack is in the MIND	T 24 E 3 (656)
For miracles are merely change of purpose from hurt to healing	T 24 E 3 (656)
real, but just a dream of specialness which lasts an instant	T 24 E 5 (657)
in which God is bereft of what He loves, and you	T 24 E 6 (657)
and when you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld	T 24 E 6 (657)
Your specialness seemed safe because of it. And thus you saved	T 24 E 6 (657)
F. The Resolution of the Dream	T 24 F 0 (658)
seek for IS a source of joy as you conceive it	T 24 F 1 (658)
does will create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as	T 24 F 1 (658)
There is no dream of specialness, however hidden or disguised	T 24 F 2 (658)
it delicately offers the hope of peace and the escape from	T 24 F 2 (658)
interchanged, for here the maker of the dream believes that what	T 24 F 2 (658)
and wove a picture out of nothing. For the parts do	T 24 F 2 (658)
intent, in the dark forest of the sightless, unlit but by	T 24 F 4 (658)
an instant from the fireflies of sin and then go out	T 24 F 4 (658)
seek for but the sight of death? Where does it lead	T 24 F 4 (659)
His, while you have need of them. They are illusions, too	T 24 F 5 (659)
might offer you the Love of God. T 24 F	T 24 F 6 (659)
eyes, and sings to them of Heaven, that their ears may	T 24 F 7 (659)
hear no more the sound of battle and of death. He	T 24 F 7 (659)
the sound of battle and of death. He reaches through them	T 24 F 7 (659)
His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He offers you, that	T 24 F 7 (659)
from each one the gift of life that your forgiveness offers	T 24 F 7 (660)
to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is	T 24 F 7 (660)
is to see. The song of Christ is all there is	T 24 F 7 (660)
is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is	T 24 F 7 (660)
consider this: The holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down	T 24 F 8 (660)
complete that not one trace of conflict still remains to haunt	T 24 G 1 (661)
haunt you in the darkness of the night. He is your	T 24 G 1 (661)
your Savior from the dreams of fear. He is the healing	T 24 G 1 (661)
fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice, and	T 24 G 1 (661)
the healing of your sense of sacrifice, and fear that what	T 24 G 1 (661)
He created you as part of Him. T 24 G	T 24 G 1 (661)
wills is whole, and part of Him because His Will is	T 24 G 2 (661)
alive that is not part of Him, and nothing IS but	T 24 G 2 (661)
as lovingly as He conceived of you before the world began	T 24 G 3 (661)
Forget not that the healing of Gods Son is all	T 24 G 4 (661)
Until you see the healing of the Son as all you	T 24 G 4 (661)
will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it	T 24 G 4 (662)
in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to	T 24 G 5 (662)
him, for not one law of death you bind him to	T 24 G 5 (662)
And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice	T 24 G 5 (662)
is set the shining memory of Him in Whom your brother	T 24 G 6 (662)
be blinded by the veil of specialness that hides the face	T 24 G 6 (662)
specialness that hides the face of Christ from him, and you	T 24 G 6 (662)
well. And let the fear of God no longer hold the	T 24 G 6 (662)
by still one more denial of Christ in him. And where	T 24 G 7 (662)
Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in	T 24 G 7 (663)
was is not a part of you. Yet you will THINK	T 24 G 8 (663)
it is not a part of him who stands beside you	T 24 G 8 (663)
you. He is the mirror of yourself, wherein you see the	T 24 G 8 (663)
you have laid on both of you. The Christ in you	T 24 G 8 (663)
a purpose and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the	T 24 G 9 (663)
choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt	T 24 G 9 (663)
cannot be what governs part of God holds not for all	T 24 G 10 (663)
then, how great the Love of God for you must be	T 24 G 10 (663)
has given you a part of Him to save from pain	T 24 G 10 (663)
will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each part	T 24 G 10 (663)
God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love and	T 24 G 10 (663)
as self-created, self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything	T 24 G 11 (664)
time, and with the power of God maintaining it, and promising	T 24 G 12 (664)
it, and promising success. Yet of the two, it is THIS	T 24 G 12 (664)
find more difficult. The sacrifice of self you understand, nor do	T 24 G 12 (664)
forth, and all the power of Heaven and the might of	T 24 G 12 (664)
of Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to	T 24 G 12 (664)
judgment. Here is the voice of specialness heard clearly, judging against	T 24 G 13 (664)
for Him to see. Out of His lack of conflict comes	T 24 G 13 (664)
see. Out of His lack of conflict comes your peace. And	T 24 G 13 (664)
the whispered doubt, the hint of threat, or anything but deepest	T 24 H 1 (665)
This is your son, beloved of you as you are to	T 24 H 1 (665)
Yet it stands in place of your creations, who ARE son	T 24 H 1 (665)
you might SHARE the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it from	T 24 H 1 (665)
strength? What is this child of earth on whom such love	T 24 H 1 (665)
lavished? What is this parody of Gods creation that takes	T 24 H 1 (665)
creation that takes the place of yours? And where are THEY	T 24 H 1 (665)
THEY, now that the host of God has found another son	T 24 H 1 (665)
H 2 The memory of God shines not alone. What	T 24 H 2 (665)
your brother still contains all of creation, everything created and creating	T 24 H 2 (665)
him, returns to you. All of the tribute you have given	T 24 H 2 (665)
thus returns to you. All of the love and care, the	T 24 H 2 (665)
style, or weave a frame of loveliness around your hate, and	T 24 H 4 (666)
s, such is your condemnation of your own. Weave, rather, then	T 24 H 4 (666)
Weave, rather, then, a frame of holiness around him, that the	T 24 H 4 (666)
H 6 The test of everything on earth is simply	T 24 H 6 (666)
you. It has no meaning of itself, yet you can give	T 24 H 6 (666)
Him. This is the state of true creation, found not within	T 24 H 6 (666)
nothing taken from; not born of size nor weight nor time	T 24 H 7 (667)
held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. Here do the	T 24 H 7 (667)
It is the outward picture of a wish; an image that	T 24 H 8 (667)
the body made a theory of yourself, with no provisions made	T 24 H 10 (667)
dies. And you cannot conceive of you apart from it. You	T 24 H 10 (667)
a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Fathers	T 24 H 11 (668)
Fathers Will. The son of man perceives an alien will	T 24 H 11 (668)
wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can perception serve	T 24 H 11 (668)
is at the very center of your life. What gives you	T 25 A 1 (669)
Christ is within a frame of holiness whose only purpose is	T 25 A 1 (669)
where He is. The son of man is not the risen	T 25 A 2 (669)
Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide exactly where he	T 25 A 2 (669)
it. And in the doing of it will you learn the	T 25 B 1 (669)
you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto Himself	T 25 B 1 (669)
to stand between the aspects of His holiness, which meet and	T 25 B 1 (669)
whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting	T 25 B 1 (669)
you look upon reminds you of yourself; your sinfulness, your evil	T 25 B 2 (670)
Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to	T 25 B 3 (670)
not. Perception is a part of what it is your purpose	T 25 B 3 (670)
are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness	T 25 B 4 (670)
and nothing hides the face of Christ from its beholders. And	T 25 B 4 (670)
from its beholders. And both of you stand there, before Him	T 25 B 4 (670)
your understanding, in the part of you that shares His Father	T 25 B 5 (671)
mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where	T 25 B 6 (671)
Son, He knows the Will of God and what YOU really	T 25 B 6 (671)
All this takes note of time and place as if	T 25 B 7 (671)
while you think that part of you is separate, the concept	T 25 B 7 (671)
you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one	T 25 B 7 (671)
could never be the teacher of a Oneness Which unites all	T 25 B 7 (671)
truth, taking all false ideas of what you are, and leading	T 25 B 7 (671)
think you find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy	T 25 C 1 (672)
should cherish still some hope of satisfaction from the world you	T 25 C 2 (672)
you to realize the chance of change in THIS respect is	T 25 C 2 (672)
future hopes, and no suggestions of success at all. To place	T 25 C 2 (672)
is reason to uphold pursuit of what has always failed on	T 25 C 3 (672)
rather see the frame INSTEAD of this? And see the picture	T 25 C 5 (673)
God set around the part of Him that you would see	T 25 C 6 (673)
and cherishes the frame instead of it. Yet God has set	T 25 C 6 (673)
Accept Gods frame instead of yours, and you will see	T 25 C 7 (673)
up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides, and casts a	T 25 C 7 (673)
hides, and casts a veil of light across the pictures	T 25 C 7 (673)
saw it in a frame of death. God kept it safe	T 25 C 7 (673)
that must be there BECAUSE of what you looked upon in	T 25 C 8 (674)
and sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your	T 25 C 8 (674)
that looks on Christ INSTEAD of seeing death. T 25	T 25 C 8 (674)
How could the Lord of Heaven not be glad if	T 25 C 9 (674)
you but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes	T 25 C 9 (674)
made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise	T 25 C 9 (674)
YOURS completed. Not one ray of darkness can be seen by	T 25 C 9 (674)
along with His. The gratitude of God Himself is freely offered	T 25 C 9 (674)
gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought	T 25 C 11 (675)
yourself and him. To each of you is given the power	T 25 C 11 (675)
you is given the power of salvation, that escape from darkness	T 25 C 11 (675)
D. The Fundamental Law of Perception T	T 25 D 0 (676)
form, adapted to this world, of Gods more basic law	T 25 D 1 (676)
lost forever in the madness of his wish. T 25	T 25 D 2 (676)
There is another Maker of the world, the simultaneous Corrector	T 25 D 4 (676)
the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that anything	T 25 D 4 (676)
it still within the laws of God; not as the law	T 25 D 4 (676)
to the need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected	T 25 D 4 (676)
s purpose. In His perception of the world, nothing is seen	T 25 D 4 (677)
justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but	T 25 D 4 (677)
unchanged, beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it out	T 25 D 5 (677)
specialness to put it out of mind, where it must be	T 25 D 5 (677)
light the body up INSTEAD of it. The lamps of Heaven	T 25 D 5 (677)
INSTEAD of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it	T 25 D 5 (677)
agree, then must the Maker of the world correct your error	T 25 D 5 (677)
ready to lead him OUT of darkness into light at any	T 25 D 5 (677)
he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then	T 25 D 6 (677)
you to see the workings of the Helper given you to	T 25 D 6 (677)
the world He made, instead of yours. T 25 D	T 25 D 6 (677)
D 8 The Maker of the world of gentleness has	T 25 D 8 (678)
The Maker of the world of gentleness has perfect power to	T 25 D 8 (678)
power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems	T 25 D 8 (678)
as far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision	T 25 D 8 (678)
D 9 The Son of God could never sin, but	T 25 D 9 (678)
this be except a misperception of himself? Is this a sin	T 25 D 9 (678)
IN this choice the purpose of the world you see is	T 25 D 9 (678)
E. The Joining of Minds T	T 25 E 0 (679)
SEEN that makes the choice of means inevitable, and beyond the	T 25 E 1 (679)
inevitable, and beyond the hope of change unless the aim is	T 25 E 1 (679)
them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. Even	T 25 E 2 (679)
the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. Even in Heaven does	T 25 E 2 (679)
this law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring him	T 25 E 2 (679)
E 3 You makers of a world that is not	T 25 E 3 (679)
vision which extends to all of them, and covers them in	T 25 E 3 (679)
And in this widening world of light the darkness they thought	T 25 E 3 (679)
and sinful hopes, their dreams of guilt and merciless revenge,	T 25 E 3 (679)
do this for the love of God? And for YOURSELF? For	T 25 E 4 (680)
In you is all of Heaven. Every leaf that falls	T 25 E 5 (680)
aim can supersede the Will of God and of His Son	T 25 E 5 (680)
the Will of God and of His Son, that Heaven be	T 25 E 5 (680)
willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you, as you	T 25 E 5 (680)
you walk beyond the world of darkness into light?	T 25 E 5 (680)
F. The State of Sinlessness T	T 25 F 0 (681)
F 1 The state of sinlessness is merely this: The	T 25 F 1 (681)
reason to perceive the Son of God as other than he	T 25 F 1 (681)
is meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin are	T 25 F 1 (681)
cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless	T 25 F 1 (681)
must you not be fearful of YOURSELF? For you have hurt	T 25 F 2 (681)
something to be feared instead of loved. Who would attack whatever	T 25 F 2 (681)
who would see the Son of God as innocent, and wish	T 25 F 2 (681)
F 4 The Son of God asks only this of	T 25 F 4 (681)
of God asks only this of you; that you return to	T 25 F 4 (681)
you see but the reflection of what you chose to have	T 25 F 4 (682)
truth, you are depriving him of all the joy he would	T 25 F 4 (682)
to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him	T 25 F 5 (682)
the hatred that the Son of God may cherish toward himself	T 25 F 6 (682)
He created from the pain of Hell. But in the love	T 25 F 6 (682)
Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture	T 25 F 6 (682)
you, you see the picture of your own belief in what	T 25 F 6 (682)
belief in what the Will of God must be for you	T 25 F 6 (682)
G 1 The grace of God rests gently on forgiving	T 25 G 1 (683)
everything they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He	T 25 G 1 (683)
He is not an arbiter of vengeance, nor a punisher of	T 25 G 1 (683)
of vengeance, nor a punisher of sin. The kindness of his	T 25 G 1 (683)
punisher of sin. The kindness of his sight rests on himself	T 25 G 1 (683)
looks on with the grace of God upon his sight.	T 25 G 1 (683)
to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful to	T 25 G 2 (683)
see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes, and	T 25 G 2 (683)
eyes, and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible	T 25 G 2 (683)
Holy Spirits kind perception of specialness; His use of what	T 25 G 4 (683)
perception of specialness; His use of what you made, to heal	T 25 G 4 (683)
you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives	T 25 G 4 (683)
Here, where the laws of God do not prevail in	T 25 G 5 (684)
choice. And by this act of special faithfulness to one perceived	T 25 G 5 (684)
is complete, and every function of this world completed with it	T 25 G 5 (684)
a means to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more	T 25 G 6 (684)
easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice	T 25 G 7 (684)
plan to save the Son of God from ALL attack, and	T 25 G 7 (684)
is the function given each of you for one another. Take	T 25 G 7 (685)
be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this ONE thing	T 25 G 7 (685)
the world depends. The magic of the world can seem to	T 25 H 1 (686)
seem to hide the pain of sin from sinners, and deceive	T 25 H 1 (686)
each one knows the cost of sin is death. And so	T 25 H 1 (686)
not should share the attributes of His creation, when it opposes	T 25 H 1 (686)
life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not	T 25 H 2 (686)
is changeless but the Will of God, this course would not	T 25 H 2 (686)
we said before, and think of it more carefully. It must	T 25 H 3 (686)
is this world a place of madness. Not one Thought of	T 25 H 3 (686)
of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at	T 25 H 3 (686)
And if but one Thought of His is true, then all	T 25 H 3 (686)
And it is the agreement of their thought that makes the	T 25 H 4 (687)
is maintained by ANY form of reason, believes this to be	T 25 H 4 (687)
to change the whole foundation of the world you see to	T 25 H 5 (687)
that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy	T 25 H 5 (687)
this one demand is worthy of your faith. But nothing else	T 25 H 6 (687)
equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would	T 25 H 6 (687)
the changeless and eternal truth of what you are. And each	T 25 H 6 (687)
And each reflects a view of what the Father and the	T 25 H 6 (687)
where you can be free of place and time, and all	T 25 H 7 (688)
must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by	T 25 H 7 (688)
as madness, then the form of sanity which makes it most	T 25 H 7 (688)
with reason in the light of sense. T 25 H	T 25 H 7 (688)
world to meet the sight of everyone who chose insanity as	T 25 H 8 (688)
One is given the choice of form most suitable to him	T 25 H 8 (688)
to an alternative, ANOTHER way of looking at what he has	T 25 H 8 (688)
question this, because the form of the alternative is one which	T 25 H 9 (688)
and whatever hope he has of BEING sane. Nor is he	T 25 H 9 (688)
special function in the hope of peace, than could	T 25 H 9 (688)
would have made a Hell of Heaven and a heaven of	T 25 H 10 (689)
of Heaven and a heaven of Hell, had such insanity been	T 25 H 10 (689)
this belief except a form of the more basic tenet, Sin	T 25 H 11 (689)
destruction be the total cost of any gain at all. You	T 25 H 11 (689)
12 Salvation is rebirth of the idea no one CAN	T 25 H 12 (689)
And on this single rock of truth can faith in God	T 25 H 12 (689)
because it shares the FUNCTION of the whole. T 25	T 25 H 12 (689)
can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation	T 25 H 13 (690)
Self which is the Son of God. He CANNOT lose, for	T 25 H 13 (690)
I. The Principle of Salvation T	T 25 I 0 (691)
could, you had no need of Him. But this He needs	T 25 I 1 (691)
found in such a state of mind. But be you thankful	T 25 I 2 (691)
only little faith is ASKED of you. What BUT a little	T 25 I 2 (691)
sin? What could they know of Heaven and the justice of	T 25 I 2 (691)
of Heaven and the justice of the saved? T 25	T 25 I 2 (691)
There is a kind of justice in salvation of which	T 25 I 3 (691)
kind of justice in salvation of which the world knows nothing	T 25 I 3 (691)
but not escaped. The laws of sin DEMAND a victim. Who	T 25 I 3 (691)
You who know not of justice still can ask, and	T 25 I 4 (691)
payment offered for the cost of sin, but not the total	T 25 I 4 (692)
BE justice? God knows not of this. But justice DOES He	T 25 I 4 (692)
s Mind BECAUSE He knows of justice. To be just is	T 25 I 5 (692)
a mind that can conceive of specialness at all. Yet how	T 25 I 5 (692)
justice be if He demanded of the ones obsessed with the	T 25 I 5 (692)
ones obsessed with the idea of punishment that they lay it	T 25 I 5 (692)
Spirit, and perceive the wrath of God in Him. Nor can	T 25 I 6 (692)
bolts torn from the fires of Heaven by Gods Own	T 25 I 6 (692)
is Hell and ARE afraid of love. And deep suspicion and	T 25 I 6 (692)
deep suspicion and the chill of fear comes over them when	T 25 I 6 (692)
And they perceive the threat of what God knows as justice	T 25 I 6 (692)
do they think the loss of sin a curse. And flee	T 25 I 7 (692)
on them in the guise of a deliverer and friend. What	T 25 I 7 (693)
by, with helpless hands, bereft of justice and vitality, and powerless	T 25 I 9 (693)
save? What can Love ask of you who think that all	T 25 I 9 (693)
you who think that all of this is true? Could He	T 25 I 9 (693)
Hand, and gives the Son of God the power to forgive	T 25 I 10 (693)
the power to forgive HIMSELF of sin. ---	T 25 I 10 (693)
recognize it not. God knows of no injustice. He would not	T 25 I 11 (694)
not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid	T 25 I 12 (694)
Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy	T 25 I 12 (694)
perfect witness to the power of love AND justice, if you	T 25 I 13 (694)
it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You	T 25 I 13 (694)
world, which is but shadows of all that is REALLY happening	T 25 I 13 (694)
which you need comes not of you, but from a larger	T 25 I 13 (694)
everything. He is no judge of what must be anothers	T 25 I 14 (695)
complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life	T 25 I 15 (695)
s justice with a version of its own. For only love	T 25 I 15 (695)
justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide, and	T 25 I 15 (695)
your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what Gods justice has	T 25 I 15 (695)
J. The Justice of Heaven T	T 25 J 0 (696)
be released from all effects of sin? You cannot answer this	T 25 J 1 (696)
you will forego all values of this world, in favor of	T 25 J 1 (696)
of this world, in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not	T 25 J 1 (696)
in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not ONE sin would	T 25 J 1 (696)
preserved in Heaven, where all of the treasures given to God	T 25 J 2 (696)
because He asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands	T 25 J 3 (696)
697) Son of God. When anyone is seen	T 25 J 3 (697)
punishment becomes his due, instead of justice. T 25 J	T 25 J 3 (697)
J 4 The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible, and	T 25 J 4 (697)
could justify attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see	T 25 J 4 (697)
does not merit an attack of any kind. What order can	T 25 J 6 (697)
its PURPOSE is the end of specialness? Where is salvations	T 25 J 6 (697)
and warrant vengeance in place of healing and return of peace	T 25 J 6 (697)
place of healing and return of peace? ---	T 25 J 6 (697)
equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and peace	T 25 J 7 (698)
and lasting in its power of injustice and attack. No one	T 25 J 7 (698)
be scattered by the winds of hate. T 25 J	T 25 J 7 (698)
lost, condemns you as unworthy of forgiveness. The unforgiven HAVE no	T 25 J 9 (698)
Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation	T 25 J 9 (698)
Each miracle is an example of what justice can accomplish when	T 25 J 10 (698)
1 In the dynamics of attack is sacrifice a key	T 26 A 1 (700)
balance. It is the symbol of the central theme that SOMEBODY	T 26 A 1 (700)
a sacrifice; a giving up of power in the name of	T 26 A 1 (700)
of power in the name of saving just a little for	T 26 A 1 (700)
from yours, is the expression of a wish to see a	T 26 A 1 (700)
to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest	T 26 A 1 (700)
join. B. The Sacrifice of Oneness T	T 26 B 0 (700)
see is based on sacrifice of oneness. It is a picture	T 26 B 1 (700)
oneness. It is a picture of complete disunity and total lack	T 26 B 1 (700)
complete disunity and total lack of joining. Around each entity is	T 26 B 1 (700)
the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest. And all	T 26 B 2 (700)
identity intact. In this perception of yourself, the bodys loss	T 26 B 2 (700)
a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies becomes the sign that	T 26 B 2 (700)
And to accept the limits of a body is to impose	T 26 B 2 (700)
cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him AND you. What greater	T 26 B 3 (701)
without the other. The memory of God MUST be denied if	T 26 B 3 (701)
if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the	T 26 B 3 (701)
What witness to the wholeness of Gods Son is seen	T 26 B 3 (701)
is seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he	T 26 B 3 (701)
world. Nor can his song of union and of love be	T 26 B 3 (701)
his song of union and of love be heard at all	T 26 B 3 (701)
before his song, and sight of him replace the bodys	T 26 B 3 (701)
the witnesses to truth instead of to illusion merely ask that	T 26 B 4 (701)
meager scrap and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself	T 26 B 4 (701)
You CAN lose sight of oneness, but can NOT make	T 26 B 5 (701)
but can NOT make sacrifice of its reality. Nor can you	T 26 B 5 (701)
Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has	T 26 B 5 (701)
his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not	T 26 B 5 (701)
you will hear no song of liberation for yourself, nor see	T 26 B 5 (701)
who would make a sacrifice of life, and make your eyes	T 26 B 6 (702)
bear witness to the death of God and of His holy	T 26 B 6 (702)
the death of God and of His holy Son, think not	T 26 B 6 (702)
you have power to make of Them what God willed not	T 26 B 6 (702)
and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or	T 26 B 7 (702)
the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For neither	T 26 B 7 (702)
give you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of	T 26 B 8 (702)
of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy	T 26 B 8 (702)
to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he	T 26 B 8 (702)
C. The Forms of Error T	T 26 C 0 (703)
Him because each one, regardless of the form it seems to	T 26 C 2 (703)
C 4 The miracle of justice can correct ALL errors	T 26 C 4 (703)
does injustice to the Son of God, and therefore is not	T 26 C 4 (703)
mistakes from which the Son of God is suffering, but needlessly	T 26 C 4 (704)
partial justice. If the Son of God is guilty then is	T 26 C 5 (704)
no mercy from the God of justice. But ask not God	T 26 C 5 (704)

will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss. T	T 26 C 7 (705)

this magnitude beyond the scope of this curriculum. Nor is it	T 26 D 2 (706)
grasped. There is a borderland of thought which stands between this	T 26 D 2 (706)
is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought	T 26 D 2 (706)
a partial truth, a segment of the universe made true. This	T 26 D 3 (706)
that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has	T 26 D 3 (706)

of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on	T 26 D 4 (706)

Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs	T 26 D 5 (707)
real world is the area of choice made real, not in	T 26 D 6 (707)
outcome, but in the perception of ALTERNATIVES for choice. That there	T 26 D 6 (707)
this one lies the undoing of EVERY illusion, not excepting this	T 26 D 6 (707)
separation is undone by change of purpose in what once was	T 26 D 7 (707)

is this worlds equivalent of Heavens justice. It translates	T 26 E 1 (708)
justice. It translates the world of sin into a simple world	T 26 E 1 (708)
gate behind which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless	T 26 E 1 (708)
returned to his real function of creating, which his forgiveness offers	T 26 E 1 (708)
Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a world of	T 26 E 2 (708)
of sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each	T 26 E 2 (708)

here you see the face of Christ, arising in its place	T 26 E 3 (708)
Who could behold the face of Christ, and not recall His	T 26 E 3 (708)
universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is Heaven	T 26 E 3 (708)
is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise	T 26 E 3 (708)
everything created to the Source of its creation? The holiest of	T 26 E 3 (708)
of its creation? The holiest of altars is set where once	T 26 E 3 (708)
And here does every light of heaven come, to be rekindled	T 26 E 3 (708)
to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of	T 26 E 4 (709)
of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive	T 26 E 4 (709)
any other. Each reminds him of His Fathers Love as	T 26 E 4 (709)
YOU will join the lights of Heaven there, and sing their	T 26 E 5 (709)
there, and sing their song of gratitude and praise. And as	T 26 E 5 (709)

holding back the happy opening of Heavens gate. How little	T 26 E 5 (709)
hindrance which withholds the wealth of Heaven from you! And how	T 26 E 5 (709)
mighty chorus to the Love of God! ---	T 26 E 5 (709)

Can sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up	T 26 F 9 (712)
the way in the direction of the past but sets you	T 26 F 9 (712)
road long since a memory of time gone by? This course	T 26 F 10 (712)

now you are a part of resurrection, NOT of death. No	T 26 F 10 (712)
a part of resurrection, NOT of death. No past illusions have	T 26 F 10 (712)
keep you in a place of death, a vault Gods	T 26 F 10 (712)
he chose to die instead of live. And will you not	T 26 F 11 (712)

do not change the laws of time or of eternity. They	T 26 F 12 (712)
the laws of time or of eternity. They come from what	T 26 F 12 (712)
hinder not the true existence of the here and now. The	T 26 F 12 (712)
world is the second part of the hallucination	T 26 F 12 (712)
single instant when the time of terror was replaced by love	T 26 F 13 (713)
to life again, a repetition of an instant gone by long	T 26 F 13 (713)

belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm	T 26 G 1 (714)
This is no friendship worthy of Gods Son, nor one	T 26 G 2 (714)
loneliness is not the Will of God. Would you allow one	T 26 G 3 (714)

H. Review of Principles T	T 26 H 0 (715)
And as such, the laws of healing must be understood before	T 26 H 1 (715)
be understood before the purpose of the course can be accomplished	T 26 H 1 (715)
truth, but in the world of shadows and illusions built on	T 26 H 2 (715)
built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would	T 26 H 2 (715)
made to take the place of changeless knowledge. Yet is truth	T 26 H 2 (715)
truth, and what is true of knowledge is not true of	T 26 H 3 (715)
of knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from	T 26 H 3 (715)
given answer to the world of sickness, which applies to ALL	T 26 H 3 (715)
needed. Yet because it IS of God, the laws of time	T 26 H 3 (715)
IS of God, the laws of time do not affect its	T 26 H 3 (715)
world, but not a part of it. For it is real	T 26 H 3 (715)
apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What is projected	T 26 H 3 (715)
at all, but an effect of what is in, and has	T 26 H 3 (715)
reversed because they ARE reversals of the laws of truth.	T 26 H 4 (715)
ARE reversals of the laws of truth. ---	T 26 H 4 (715)
The laws of truth forever will be true	T 26 H 4 (716)

all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can show is preference	T 26 H 5 (716)
seem forever past the hope of healing, and the lasting grounds	T 26 H 6 (716)
be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers, until God	T 26 H 6 (716)
world denies to every aspect of Gods Son where sin	T 26 H 7 (716)

Although it falls far short of giving you your full inheritance	T 26 H 9 (717)
where you are, and recognition of where and what you are	T 26 H 9 (717)
the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and	T 26 H 10 (717)
his wishes and the Will of God are One. T	T 26 H 10 (717)
What is the Will of God? He wills His Son	T 26 H 11 (717)
Here does the Son of God ask not too much	T 26 H 12 (717)

cannot do without a sense of isolation, loss and loneliness. This	T 26 H 12 (718)
he could only be afraid of it. Is fear a treasure	T 26 H 12 (718)
this error does the world of sin and sacrifice arise. This	T 26 H 13 (718)
he created you as part of Him, and this must still	T 26 H 14 (718)
away. This is as true of what is idly wished as	T 26 H 14 (718)
trying to deceive the Son of God. T 26 H	T 26 H 14 (718)
not kept separate. The healing of effect without the cause can	T 26 H 15 (718)

as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any	T 26 H 15 (718)

Each instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses	T 26 H 17 (719)
hurt he chooses death, instead of what his Father wills for	T 26 H 17 (719)
is the answer to attack of any kind. So is attack	T 26 H 18 (719)
kind. So is attack deprived of its effects, and hate is	T 26 H 18 (719)
is answered in the name of love. To you to whom	T 26 H 18 (719)
given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and from	T 26 H 18 (719)
power to save the Son of God because his Father willed	T 26 H 18 (719)

yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root	T 26 K 3 (727)
sacrifice is at the root of everything perceived to be unfair	T 26 K 3 (727)
is YOU who ask this of yourself, in deep injustice to	T 26 K 3 (727)

own attack upon the Son of God you seek? Is it	T 26 K 4 (728)
believe that you are innocent of this, and victimized despite your	T 26 K 4 (728)
innocence? Whatever way the game of guilt is played, there MUST	T 26 K 4 (728)
is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known	T 26 K 5 (728)
threatening, and not a trace of all the happy sparkle that	T 26 K 6 (728)
so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the dark	T 26 K 6 (728)
do I deny the Presence of the Father and the Son	T 26 K 6 (728)
And I would rather know of Them than see injustice, which	T 26 K 6 (728)
incompatible, and make a unity of what can never join? Walk	T 27 A 1 (729)
you will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother	T 27 A 1 (729)
it would entail the whole of Gods creation, and the	T 27 A 1 (729)
the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son. T	T 27 A 1 (729)
proof that he is guilty of attack. Thus would you make	T 27 A 2 (729)
make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will	T 27 A 2 (729)
own. B. The Picture of the Crucifixion	T 27 B 0 (729)
unfairly treated or in need of anything, you but accuse your	T 27 B 1 (729)
you but accuse your brother of attack upon Gods Son	T 27 B 1 (729)
Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before his eyes	T 27 B 1 (729)
prove his INNOCENCE. The picture of yourself you offer him you	T 27 B 1 (729)
give to him, a picture of yourself in which there is	T 27 B 1 (729)
B 2 The power of witness is beyond belief because	T 27 B 2 (730)
a little death; a form of vengeance not yet total. Yet	T 27 B 3 (730)
Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is	T 27 B 3 (730)
you. It is a picture of a body still, for what	T 27 B 3 (730)
not been used for purpose of attack, and therefore never suffered	T 27 B 3 (730)
done, or ever had effects of any kind. That no reproach	T 27 B 4 (730)
the poisoned and relentless sting of fear. Attest his innocence and	T 27 B 4 (730)
message is the same. Adornment of the body seeks to show	T 27 B 5 (731)
what you love. Depression speaks of death and vanity of real	T 27 B 5 (731)
speaks of death and vanity of real concern with anything at	T 27 B 5 (731)
have reason for each one of their unnatural desires and strange	T 27 B 6 (731)
and not esteem the worth of passing joys? What pleasures could	T 27 B 6 (731)
believe that every stolen scrap of pleasure is their righteous payment	T 27 B 6 (731)
pay the price for all of them, if they enjoy their	T 27 B 6 (731)
benefits or not. The end of life must come, whatever way	T 27 B 6 (731)
end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were	T 27 B 7 (731)
For it becomes the symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt	T 27 B 7 (731)
symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt whose consequences still are	T 27 B 7 (731)
to see yourself a picture of the proof that what your	T 27 B 8 (731)
away from it all signs of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured	T 27 B 8 (732)
all signs of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured without a purpose	T 27 B 8 (732)
stands apart from all experience of fear or love. For now	T 27 B 8 (732)
space, from which the goal of sin has been removed, is	T 27 B 9 (732)
perfect healing take the place of death. The body can become	T 27 B 9 (732)
body can become a sign of life, a promise of redemption	T 27 B 9 (732)
sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath of	T 27 B 9 (732)
of redemption, and a breath of immortality to those grown sick	T 27 B 9 (732)
immortality to those grown sick of breathing in the fetid scent	T 27 B 9 (732)
breathing in the fetid scent of death. Let it have healing	T 27 B 9 (732)
picture is a lasting sign of what it represents. This leaves	T 27 B 10 (732)

C. The Fear of Healing T	T 27 C 0 (733)
stand firmly in the way of trust and peace, proclaiming that	T 27 C 1 (733)
forgive may be an act of charity, but not his due	T 27 C 1 (733)
They would retain the consequences of the guilt they overlook. Yet	T 27 C 2 (733)
because I am the better of the two, I pardon you	T 27 C 2 (733)
He holds not the proof of sin before his brothers	T 27 C 3 (733)
pardoned, and retains no trace of condemnation that he still would	T 27 C 3 (733)
not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that separation is	T 27 C 4 (734)
you will believe. The power of witness COMES from your belief	T 27 C 4 (734)
has never suffered pain because of him. And in its healing	T 27 C 5 (734)
it offer him mute testimony of his innocence. It is this	T 27 C 5 (734)
before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power	T 27 C 6 (734)
the weak and miserable cry of death and guilt. The ancient	T 27 C 6 (734)
and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His Son	T 27 C 6 (734)
Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own	T 27 C 6 (734)
that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood	T 27 C 6 (734)
guilt is but the fabric of a senseless dream. T	T 27 C 6 (734)
they bestow an equal gift of full ---	T 27 C 7 (734)
Your health is a result of your desire to see your	T 27 C 7 (735)
made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you wish	T 27 C 7 (735)
C 8 The cost of your serenity is his. This	T 27 C 8 (735)
perceives it as a statement of the fact that your salvation	T 27 C 8 (735)
his pain. The constant sting of guilt he suffers serves to	T 27 C 9 (735)
desired to prevent a shift of balance in the sacrifice. How	T 27 C 9 (735)
belongs to One Who knows of fairness, NOT of guilt. If	T 27 C 10 (735)
Who knows of fairness, NOT of guilt. If you assume correction	T 27 C 10 (735)
role, you LOSE the function of forgiveness. No one can forgive	T 27 C 10 (735)
and therefore is correction NOT of you. Identity and function are	T 27 C 10 (735)
your function with the function of Another, you MUST be confused	T 27 C 10 (735)
MORE GUILTY, thus in need of your correction, as the one	T 27 C 11 (735)
really IS. From an idea of self as two, there comes	T 27 C 13 (736)
there comes a necessary view of function split between the two	T 27 C 13 (736)
which you think is all of it. Your brothers sins	T 27 C 13 (736)
14 In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you	T 27 C 14 (736)
not even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside	T 27 C 14 (736)
who cannot be a part of you while this perception lasts	T 27 C 14 (736)
This is your brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be	T 27 C 14 (736)
hate, unworthy to be part of you, and thus outside yourself	T 27 C 14 (736)
presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half	T 27 C 14 (736)
He does by giving both of you a function that is	T 27 C 14 (736)
MUST correct mistakes in both of you. It cannot leave mistakes	T 27 C 15 (736)
intact, despite your separate views of what your function is. If	T 27 C 15 (736)
divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from	T 27 C 15 (736)

an answer from one point of view is not an answer	T 27 E 1 (741)
be that, in your state of mind, solution is impossible. Therefore	T 27 E 2 (741)
have given you a way of reaching to another state of	T 27 E 2 (741)
of reaching to another state of mind, in which the answer	T 27 E 2 (741)
question, with many answers, none of which will do. It does	T 27 E 3 (741)
only to restate its point of view. All questions asked within	T 27 E 3 (741)
world are but a way of LOOKING, not a question asked	T 27 E 3 (741)
ONE question. It is this: Of these illusions, which of them	T 27 E 4 (741)
this: Of these illusions, which of them are true? Which ones	T 27 E 4 (741)
escape from all the pain of which this world is	T 27 E 4 (741)
and answers in the form of preference. Which sin do you	T 27 E 4 (742)
you would want the most of all? It is your servant	T 27 E 4 (742)

asked. And from the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness	T 27 E 6 (742)
the question does the meaningfulness of the answer come. Here is	T 27 E 6 (742)
questions truly asked. The questions of the world but ask of	T 27 E 7 (742)
of the world but ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking	T 27 E 7 (742)
so UNLESS the answer tells of whom it will remain unrecognized	T 27 E 7 (742)
can begin. Accept the miracle of healing, and it will go	T 27 F 1 (744)
it will go forth because of what it IS. It is	T 27 F 1 (744)
But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot come	T 27 F 2 (744)
a healing is a lack of fear. The fearful are not	T 27 F 2 (744)

more than just ONE instant of your love without attack is	T 27 F 3 (744)

And they share the lack of meaning which their purpose has	T 27 G 1 (748)
but only at the cost of pain. These witnesses are joined	T 27 G 2 (748)

for it is the EFFECTS of life it brings. The dying	T 27 G 5 (749)
has symbols in a world of sin. The miracle forgives because	T 27 G 6 (749)
solely to undo! The laws of sin have different witnesses, with	T 27 G 6 (749)
the world, a tiny stab of pain, a little worldly pleasure	T 27 G 6 (749)
worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself, are but a	T 27 G 6 (749)

SHOWN as powerless. The purpose of a miracle is to accomplish	T 27 G 7 (749)
Himself has guaranteed the strength of miracles for what they witness	T 27 G 7 (749)

in the mind that thought of them and loved them for	T 28 A 1 (761)
cause can but produce illusions of its presence, not effects.	T 28 A 1 (761)
2 All the effects of guilt are here no more	T 28 A 2 (761)
past tense. It is perception of the past as if it	T 28 A 2 (761)
you, to take the place of what God gave in your	T 28 A 2 (761)
Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is	T 28 B 1 (761)
this is not a memory of past events, but only of	T 28 B 1 (761)
of past events, but only of a present state. You are	T 28 B 1 (761)
you. There IS no link of memory to the past. If	T 28 B 1 (761)
held it to a part of time where guilt appears to	T 28 B 1 (762)
The Holy Spirits use of memory is quite apart from	T 28 B 2 (762)
and offers you the pictures of injustices and hurts which you	T 28 B 2 (762)
to its vaults, the history of all the bodys past	T 28 B 2 (762)
past is hidden there. All of the strange associations made to	T 28 B 2 (762)
time is but another phase of what does nothing. It works	T 28 B 3 (762)
yet you make strange use of it, as if the past	T 28 B 3 (762)
memory as you make use of it, and so it is	T 28 B 3 (762)
better one? When ancient memories of hate appear, remember that their	T 28 B 4 (762)
see, instead, the new effects of cause accepted NOW, with consequences	T 28 B 4 (763)
will be the happy consequences of a Cause so ancient that	T 28 B 4 (763)
it far exceeds the span of memory which your perception sees	T 28 B 4 (763)

to is but the fear of God. He has not done	T 28 B 7 (763)
minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no	T 28 B 8 (764)

its treasures to the Son of God, for whom they have	T 28 B 9 (764)
He would not be deprived of His effects. The instants	T 28 B 9 (764)
that instant does the Son of God do nothing that would	T 28 B 9 (764)
How instantly the memory of God arises in the mind	T 28 B 10 (764)
fearful image in the way of glad awakening to present peace	T 28 B 10 (764)
to present peace. The trumpets of eternity resound throughout the stillness	T 28 B 10 (764)
stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God	T 28 B 10 (764)
sounds of love the Son of God remembers from before his	T 28 B 10 (764)
Now is the Son of God at last aware of	T 28 B 11 (764)
of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign	T 28 B 11 (764)
fear, and past the world of sin entirely. T 28	T 28 B 11 (765)
where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to take	T 28 B 12 (765)
come to take the place of loss? What better way to	T 28 B 12 (765)
than to allow the memory of God to flow across it	T 28 B 12 (765)
God created him. The circle of creation has no end. Its	T 28 C 1 (766)
itself it holds the universe of all creation, without beginning and	T 28 C 1 (766)
confined. It is the nature of the innocent to be forever	T 28 C 2 (766)
limitation. Thus is purity not of the body. Nor can it	T 28 C 2 (766)
in sickness does the Son of God attempt to make himself	T 28 C 3 (766)
and must be cause because of what he is. The cause	T 28 C 3 (766)
what he is. The cause of healing is the only Cause	T 28 C 3 (766)
healing is the only Cause of everything. It has but ONE	T 28 C 3 (766)
a body, and a world of other bodies, each with separate	T 28 C 3 (766)
yourself, and but a part of someone elses dream.	T 28 C 3 (766)
you there is a choice of dreams while you are still	T 28 C 4 (767)
asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish	T 28 C 4 (767)
Do you wish for dreams of healing, or for dreams of	T 28 C 4 (767)
of healing, or for dreams of death? A dream is like	T 28 C 4 (767)
door, holds all your shreds of memories and dreams. Yet if	T 28 C 4 (767)
for this change in content of the dream, it must be	T 28 C 4 (767)
you would not BE cause of this effect. T 28	T 28 C 4 (767)
C 5 In dreams of murder and attack are you	T 28 C 5 (767)
you cannot do. The dreamer of a dream is not awake	T 28 C 6 (767)
he sleeps. He sees illusions of himself as sick or well	T 28 C 6 (767)
illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he	T 28 C 7 (767)
see that he was author of the dream, and not a	T 28 C 7 (767)
attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle	T 28 C 7 (768)
dream the Father was deprived of His effects, and powerless to	T 28 C 8 (768)
him, taking on the role of its creator, as the dreamer	T 28 C 8 (768)
could not be the maker of the dream. Effect and cause	T 28 C 8 (768)
final step is an effect of what has gone before, appearing	T 28 C 9 (768)
back to cause the function of causation, not effect. For this	T 28 C 9 (768)
forgiving dreams are the effects of yours undone, and hated enemies	T 28 C 10 (768)
you can accept the role of maker of their hate because	T 28 C 10 (768)
accept the role of maker of their hate because you SEE	T 28 C 10 (768)
you freed from this much of the dream; the world is	T 28 C 10 (769)
The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made	T 28 C 11 (769)
not cause, because the function of causation is to have effects	T 28 C 11 (769)
to be victim, or effect, of what it made. Yet half	T 28 C 11 (769)
This world is full of miracles. They stand in shining	T 28 C 12 (769)
silence next to every dream of pain and suffering, of sin	T 28 C 12 (769)
dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are	T 28 C 12 (769)
They are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of	T 28 C 12 (769)
of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The	T 28 C 12 (769)
proceed to change the course of every step in the descent	T 28 C 12 (769)
gone, and all the dreaming of the world undone.	T 28 C 12 (769)
to waking and the ending of the dream. When you accept	T 28 D 1 (770)
do not add your dream of fear to one that is	T 28 D 1 (770)
your minds, from separate points of view. Uniting with a brother	T 28 D 2 (770)
s mind prevents the CAUSE of sickness and perceived effects. Healing	T 28 D 2 (770)
effects. Healing is the effect of minds which join, as sickness	T 28 D 2 (770)
has not seen the cause of sickness where it is, and	T 28 D 3 (770)
D 4 The end of dreaming is the end of	T 28 D 4 (770)
of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never	T 28 D 4 (770)
was never in the world of dreams. The gap IS little	T 28 D 4 (770)
Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence ---	T 28 D 4 (770)
and every form of ill, because it is a	T 28 D 4 (771)
NOT its cause. The PURPOSE of the gap is all the	T 28 D 4 (771)
if IT were the cause of pain. T 28 D	T 28 D 4 (771)
D 5 The cause of pain is separation, not the	T 28 D 5 (771)
between them, where the seeds of sickness seemed to grow?	T 28 D 5 (771)
by the miracle. The seeds of sickness and the shame of	T 28 D 6 (771)
of sickness and the shame of guilt He cannot bridge, for	T 28 D 6 (771)
silver miracles and golden dreams of happiness as all the treasures	T 28 D 7 (771)
would keep within the storehouse of the world. The door is	T 28 D 7 (771)
mistook for gold the shining of a pebble, and who stored	T 28 D 7 (771)
and who stored a heap of snow that shone like silver	T 28 D 7 (771)
the world except a picture of the Son of God in	T 28 D 7 (771)
a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each	T 28 D 7 (771)
a separate and uncertain bit of clay? T 28 D	T 28 D 7 (771)
WITHOUT a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies, and	T 28 D 8 (772)
miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness	T 28 D 8 (772)
it will make a place of welcome for your Father and	T 28 D 8 (772)
and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them there	T 28 D 8 (772)
indeed to those the dreaming of the world has shown. For	T 28 D 9 (772)
support to someones dream of sickness and of death. It	T 28 E 1 (773)

a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours	T 28 E 1 (773)
share. You can be sure of just one thing; that you	T 28 E 1 (773)
for you share in dreams of fear. T 28 E	T 28 E 1 (773)
There is a way of finding certainty right HERE and	T 28 E 2 (773)
Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they	T 28 E 2 (773)
Share not in his illusion of himself, for your identity depends	T 28 E 3 (773)
on his reality. Think, rather, of him as a mind in	T 28 E 3 (773)
nor is his body, hero of the dream, your brother. It	T 28 E 3 (773)
brotherhood, and not on dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who	T 28 E 4 (774)
to his dream. And dreams of fear will haunt the little	T 28 E 4 (774)
figure in his dream, instead of dreamer of your own. Identity	T 28 E 5 (774)
his dream, instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams	T 28 E 5 (774)
away would he be free of them, and of his own	T 28 E 6 (774)
be free of them, and of his own as well. Your	T 28 E 6 (774)
and his attest the truth of yours. Yet if you see	T 28 E 6 (774)
to take the broken picture of the Son of God, and	T 28 E 8 (775)
broken picture of the Son of God, and put the pieces	T 28 E 8 (775)
the whole picture represents, instead of just a little, broken bit	T 28 E 8 (775)
the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness	T 28 E 8 (775)
clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And	T 28 E 8 (775)
the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father	T 28 E 8 (775)
lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness	T 28 E 9 (775)
perfect, lies in every one of them. And they ARE joined	T 28 E 9 (775)
holy is the smallest grain of sand, when it is recognized	T 28 E 9 (775)
is recognized as being part of the completed picture of God	T 28 E 9 (775)
part of the completed picture of Gods Son! The forms	T 28 E 9 (775)
each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is	T 28 E 9 (775)
every aspect of the Son of God is just the same	T 28 E 9 (775)
WANT to have the benefits of sickness when he has received	T 28 E 10 (775)
has received the simple happiness of health? What God has given	T 28 E 10 (775)
loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What	T 28 E 10 (775)
within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief	T 28 E 10 (775)
go is all the Healer of Gods Son requires. He	T 28 E 10 (775)
He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of	T 28 E 10 (775)
of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will	T 28 E 10 (775)
F. The Alternate to Dreams of Fear T	T 28 F 0 (776)
What is a sense of sickness but a sense of	T 28 F 1 (776)
of sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting OFF	T 28 F 1 (776)
but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting OFF and separating	T 28 F 1 (776)
is the ALTERNATE to dreams of fear. Who shares in them	T 28 F 1 (776)
It is the SHARING of the evil dreams of hate	T 28 F 2 (776)
SHARING of the evil dreams of hate and malice, bitterness and	T 28 F 2 (776)
and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering and pain	T 28 F 2 (776)
he cannot be a part of yours, from which you BOTH	T 28 F 2 (776)
your brother, as a part of what you hate. There IS	T 28 F 3 (776)
each senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness	T 28 F 5 (777)
shares. It is not made of little bits of glass, a	T 28 F 6 (777)
not made of little bits of glass, a piece of wood	T 28 F 6 (777)
bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or two	T 28 F 6 (777)
terror rises from the bones of death. Look at the little	T 28 F 7 (778)
behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see	T 28 F 7 (778)
you have lost the fear of RECOGNIZING love.	T 28 F 7 (778)
does not seek to make of pain a joy, and look	T 28 G 1 (779)
is indeed a senseless point of view to hold responsible for	T 28 G 2 (779)
the uses you have made of it. You shrink from what	T 28 G 3 (779)
you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the	T 28 G 3 (779)
gap between the little bit of mind you call your own	T 28 G 4 (779)
own, and all the rest of what is REALLY yours. You	T 28 G 4 (779)
It is the obvious effect of what was made in secret	T 28 G 5 (780)
Father say, You are beloved of Me and I of you	T 28 G 6 (780)
beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you perfect	T 28 G 6 (780)
born. Yet God reminds him of it every time he does	T 28 G 6 (780)
are powerless before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares	T 28 G 6 (780)
will, who has made promise of himself to God.	T 28 G 6 (780)
Son is not the Will of either, who have promised to	T 28 H 1 (781)
what He wills as part of what He IS. The promise	T 28 H 1 (781)
your brothers is a part of you because it is a	T 28 H 2 (781)
because it is a part of God Himself. Are you not	T 28 H 2 (781)
and your health, the Source of help, the Call to healing	T 28 H 2 (781)
middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You accept it wholly	T 28 H 2 (781)
seems to hold some promise of relief. Yet who can build	T 28 H 3 (781)
to witness to the dream of separation and disease. Nor is	T 28 H 4 (781)
serves to help the healing of Gods Son, and for	T 28 H 4 (782)
it is made. No forms of sickness are immune, because the	T 28 H 4 (782)
cannot be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness	T 28 H 4 (782)
terms of form. The choice of sickness SEEMS to be a	T 28 H 4 (782)
itself, but in the frailty of the little gap of nothingness	T 28 H 6 (782)
frailty of the little gap of nothingness whereon it stands? What	T 28 H 6 (782)
instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds will	T 28 H 7 (782)
alone. It is an ark of safety, ---	T 28 H 7 (782)
interpose itself between the safety of this shelter and its Source	T 28 H 7 (783)
is it made a home of holiness a little while, because	T 28 H 7 (783)
a gap could be conceived of in the wholeness that is	T 29 A 1 (784)
could harbor just a hint of hate; His gentleness turn sometimes	T 29 A 1 (784)
Here is the fear of God most plainly seen. For	T 29 A 2 (784)
who hates but is afraid of love, and therefore MUST he	T 29 A 2 (784)
therefore MUST he be afraid of God. Certain it is he	T 29 A 2 (784)
A 3 The fear of God! The greatest obstacle that	T 29 A 3 (784)
entente, in which a clause of separation was a point on	T 29 A 3 (784)
thought to be a breach of treaty not to be allowed	T 29 A 3 (784)
allowed. B. The Closing of the Gap	T 29 B 0 (784)
between you is not one of space between two separate	T 29 B 1 (784)
minds. It is the symbol of a promise made to meet	T 29 B 1 (785)
and keep apart in intervals of separation, which protect you from	T 29 B 1 (785)
protect you from the sacrifice of love. The body SAVES you	T 29 B 1 (785)
it to be a cause of separation and of distance seen	T 29 B 2 (785)
a cause of separation and of distance seen between you. Thus	T 29 B 2 (785)
indulgences in love, with intervals of hatred in between. And it	T 29 B 2 (785)
And it will take command of when to love and when	T 29 B 2 (785)
But fear DEMANDS the sacrifice of love, for in loves	T 29 B 4 (785)
5 The body, innocent of any goal, is your excuse	T 29 B 5 (786)
its weakness, but its lack of strength OR weakness. Would you	T 29 B 5 (786)
real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the happy	T 29 B 5 (786)
nothing less. Without the fear of God, what could induce you	T 29 B 6 (786)
afraid to find a loss of self in finding God? Yet	T 29 B 6 (786)
C. The Coming of the Guest	T 29 C 0 (787)
not acclaim the truth, instead of looking on it as an	T 29 C 1 (787)
the road to Hell, instead of looking on it as a	T 29 C 1 (787)
glad rejoicing and for hope of peace. T 29 C	T 29 C 2 (787)
attempt to find the hope of peace upon a battleground. It	T 29 C 3 (787)
escape from sin and pain of what was made to serve	T 29 C 3 (787)
made to serve the function of RETAINING sin and pain. For	T 29 C 3 (787)
not rejoicing? You are free of pain and sickness, misery and	T 29 C 3 (787)
and loss, and all effects of hatred and attack. No more	T 29 C 3 (787)
you should welcome the effects of love. T 29 C	T 29 C 3 (787)
you now can give, because of everything you have received. Yet	T 29 C 5 (788)
And nowhere else His gifts of peace and joy, and all	T 29 C 5 (788)
Such is the promise of the living God; His Son	T 29 C 6 (788)
every living thing be part of him, and nothing else have	T 29 C 6 (788)
remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of the	T 29 C 7 (788)
belief of what the purpose of the body is.	T 29 C 7 (788)
than this lies the idea of sickness. For it asks that	T 29 C 8 (789)
really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it IS you	T 29 C 8 (789)
you, for it IS you of whom the sacrifice is asked	T 29 C 8 (789)
He is told that part of Him belongs to Him no	T 29 C 8 (789)
is lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone	T 29 C 8 (789)
protecting you from being part of Him. T 29 C	T 29 C 8 (789)
if He be the sum of everything, then what is not	T 29 C 10 (789)
for giving is the PROOF of having. Only those who think	T 29 D 1 (790)
made, that he be free of it. He must see someone	T 29 D 2 (790)
they live. Within the dream of bodies and of death is	T 29 D 2 (790)
the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme	T 29 D 2 (790)
death is yet one theme of truth; no more, perhaps, than	T 29 D 2 (790)
a tiny spark, a space of light created in the dark	T 29 D 2 (790)
him shining in the space of light where God abides within	T 29 D 3 (790)
that it remain. The coming of the light MEANS it is	T 29 D 3 (790)
set forth the gentle way of kindness to Gods Son	T 29 D 4 (790)
your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto	T 29 D 4 (790)
are you, that the Son of God can be your Savior	T 29 D 5 (791)
your Savior in the midst of dreams of desolation and disaster	T 29 D 5 (791)
in the midst of dreams of desolation and disaster. See how	T 29 D 5 (791)
his Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so	T 29 D 5 (791)
not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for	T 29 E 1 (792)
dreaming goes with only one of these. T 29 E	T 29 E 1 (792)
dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the	T 29 E 2 (792)
for fear is the material of dreams from which they all	T 29 E 2 (792)
but they cannot be made of something else. The miracle were	T 29 E 2 (792)
assault must be the theme of every dream, for they are	T 29 E 3 (792)
dream, for they are made of fear. The thin disguise of	T 29 E 3 (792)
of fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in	T 29 E 3 (792)
thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in which they may	T 29 E 3 (792)
slightly veils the heavy lump of fear which is their core	T 29 E 3 (792)
can fail but your IDEA of him, and there is no	T 29 E 5 (793)
there is no betrayal BUT of this. The core of dreams	T 29 E 5 (793)
BUT of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives	T 29 E 5 (793)
Spirit gives is NEVER one of fear. The coverings may not	T 29 E 5 (793)
if this becomes the function of the dream. And dreams of	T 29 E 5 (793)
of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to	T 29 E 5 (793)
if you see the function of the dream as He perceives	T 29 E 6 (793)
each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center	T 29 E 6 (793)
been forgotten; where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers	T 29 F 1 (794)
no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is	T 29 F 1 (794)
time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is	T 29 F 1 (794)
F 2 The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so	T 29 F 2 (794)
and unseen. The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently	T 29 F 2 (794)
quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator, nothing can intrude	T 29 F 2 (794)
intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the	T 29 F 2 (794)
who wait upon the Son of God, and would behold him	T 29 F 2 (794)
glad. He is a part of you, and you of him	T 29 F 2 (794)
part of you, and you of him, because he is his	T 29 F 2 (794)
in him. Nothing is asked of you but to accept the	T 29 F 2 (794)
in him. And every thought of love you offer him but	T 29 F 2 (794)
3 This sacred Son of God is like yourself; the	T 29 F 3 (794)
is like yourself; the mirror of his Fathers love for	T 29 F 3 (794)
for you, the soft reminder of his Fathers love by	T 29 F 3 (794)
complete can be a part of Gods completion, Which created	T 29 F 3 (794)
no gift the Father asks of you but that you see	T 29 F 4 (794)
creation but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold	T 29 F 4 (794)
hands that grasp in dreams of pain. They hold no sword	T 29 F 4 (795)
hold on every vain illusion of the world. And being empty	T 29 F 4 (795)
thought, however light the touch of evil on it may appear	T 29 F 5 (795)
understand how great the cost of holding anything God did not	T 29 F 5 (795)
If God esteems him worthy of Himself, would YOU attack him	T 29 F 5 (795)
attack him with the hands of hate? Who would lay bloody	T 29 F 5 (795)
thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But	T 29 F 5 (795)
him for all his dreams of death; a dream of hope	T 29 F 6 (795)
dreams of death; a dream of hope you share with him	T 29 F 6 (795)
you share with him, instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of	T 29 F 6 (795)
of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem	T 29 F 6 (795)
those who serve the lord of death have come to worship	T 29 F 6 (795)
Such is the core of fear in every dream that	T 29 F 7 (795)
shared, they lose the function of attack and separation, even though	T 29 F 7 (795)
Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains without the hope	T 29 F 7 (795)
dreams remains without the hope of change and betterment, for here	T 29 F 7 (795)
to step aside from dreaming of a world outside yourself. And	T 29 F 7 (796)
all dreams, unto the peace of everlasting life.	T 29 F 7 (796)
do you desire peace instead of endless strife and misery and	T 29 G 1 (797)
for herein lies the end of separation, and the dream of	T 29 G 1 (797)
of separation, and the dream of danger and destruction, sin and	T 29 G 1 (797)
and destruction, sin and death; of madness and of murder, grief	T 29 G 1 (797)
and death; of madness and of murder, grief and loss. This	T 29 G 1 (797)
and gladly offers peace instead of this. T 29 G	T 29 G 1 (797)
to die, you holy Son of God! You make a bargain	T 29 G 2 (797)
you cannot keep. The Son of Life cannot be killed. He	T 29 G 2 (797)
the seasons, and the lives of men; all things that change	T 29 G 2 (797)
change by what men made of him. He will be as	T 29 G 2 (797)
destiny, nor set the hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness	T 29 G 2 (797)
upon forgiveness that the things of time may disappear because they	T 29 G 2 (797)
though it was a dream of death, you need not let	T 29 G 5 (798)
world whose purpose is forgiveness of Gods Son! How free	T 29 G 5 (798)
quietly to take the place of time. ---	T 29 G 5 (798)
that there is something outside of himself that will bring happiness	T 29 H 2 (799)
everything, as if a part of it were separated off, and	T 29 H 2 (799)
found where all the rest of it is not. This is	T 29 H 2 (799)
wanders aimlessly about, in search of something that he cannot find	T 29 H 2 (799)
is lifeless IS a sign of death. You came to die	T 29 H 5 (800)
but to PERCEIVE the signs of death you seek? No sadness	T 29 H 5 (800)
found that represents a parody of life which, in its lifelessness	T 29 H 5 (800)
and decay, because a form of death cannot be life, and	T 29 H 5 (800)
H 6 All idols of this world were made to	T 29 H 6 (800)
worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells within, and	T 29 H 6 (800)
Let us forget the purpose of the world the past has	T 29 H 6 (800)
past, and but a series of depressing dreams, in which all	T 29 H 6 (800)
and open up a road of hope and of release in	T 29 H 7 (800)
a road of hope and of release in what appeared to	T 29 H 7 (800)
to be an endless circle of despair, you need but to	T 29 H 7 (800)
do not KNOW the purpose of the world. You give it	T 29 H 7 (800)
see in it a place of idols found outside yourself, with	T 29 H 7 (800)
FOR. And speed the end of idols in a world made	T 29 H 8 (801)
idols can abide. The fear of God is but the fear	T 29 H 8 (801)
God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is	T 29 H 8 (801)
but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the	T 29 H 8 (801)
It is not the fear of loss of your reality. But	T 29 H 8 (801)
not the fear of loss of your reality. But you have	T 29 H 8 (801)
reality. But you have made of your reality an idol, which	T 29 H 8 (801)
must protect against the light of truth. And all the world	T 29 H 8 (801)
ONLY life exists. The sacrifice of death is NOTHING lost. An	T 29 H 9 (801)
idol CANNOT take the place of God. Let Him remind you	T 29 H 9 (801)
God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and	T 29 H 9 (801)
drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to idols of	T 29 H 9 (801)
of deep despair to idols of yourself. Seek not outside your	T 29 H 9 (801)
for your hope. For hope of happiness is NOT despair.	T 29 H 9 (801)
An idol is an image of your brother which you would	T 29 I 1 (802)
against your confidence and peace of mind. They have the power	T 29 I 2 (802)
a false belief; some form of anti-Christ, which constitutes a gap	T 29 I 3 (802)
idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ. And	T 29 I 3 (802)
I 4 This world of idols IS a veil across	T 29 I 4 (802)
a veil across the face of Christ, because its PURPOSE is	T 29 I 4 (802)
power to change one blade of grass from something living to	T 29 I 4 (803)
something living to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere	T 29 I 4 (803)
HAS life and power worthy of the gift of Heaven and	T 29 I 5 (803)
power worthy of the gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The	T 29 I 5 (803)
the eternal. Here the world of idols has been set by	T 29 I 6 (803)
to be made the slaves of time. Here does the changeless	T 29 I 6 (803)
the changeless change; the peace of God, forever given to all	T 29 I 6 (803)
to chaos. And the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and	T 29 I 6 (803)
can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set where all is	T 29 I 7 (803)
each depending on the one of whom the question has been	T 29 I 8 (804)
does not contain. Each worshipper of idols harbors hope his special	T 29 I 8 (804)
does not really matter more of what; more beauty, more intelligence	T 29 I 8 (804)
and more pain. But MORE of something is an idol FOR	T 29 I 8 (804)
takes its place, with hope of finding more of something else	T 29 I 8 (804)
with hope of finding more of something else. Be not deceived	T 29 I 8 (804)
In Heaven would the Son of God but laugh, if idols	T 29 I 9 (804)
for idols which would make of Heaven less, to give you	T 29 I 9 (804)
every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. No	T 29 I 9 (804)
a part of you, as of Himself. No idol can establish	T 29 I 9 (804)
J 1 The slave of idols is a WILLING slave	T 29 J 1 (805)
happened to the holy Son of God that this could be	T 29 J 1 (805)
NOT a dream. A dream of judgment came into the mind	T 29 J 1 (805)
dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must he judge	T 29 J 2 (805)
last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he	T 29 J 2 (805)
who judges WILL have need of idols, which will hold the	T 29 J 2 (805)
you make yourself a part of evil dreams, where idols are	T 29 J 2 (805)
dream. Yet they are PART of what they have been made	T 29 J 3 (805)
its worship IS the worship of despair and terror, and the	T 29 J 3 (805)
dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But	T 29 J 3 (805)
God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream	T 29 J 3 (805)
penalty. But in the dream of judgment, you attack and are	T 29 J 3 (805)
wish to be the slave of idols, which are interposed between	T 29 J 3 (805)
For idols must be part of it, to save you from	T 29 J 4 (805)
play with. Who has need of toys but children? They pretend	T 29 J 4 (806)
do is in the minds of those who play with them	T 29 J 4 (806)
real. And so he makes of anything a toy, to make	T 29 J 5 (806)
HE is but a part of IT. T 29 J	T 29 J 5 (806)
not to retain the toys of children. Put them all away	T 29 J 6 (806)
away, for you have need of them no more. The dream	T 29 J 6 (806)
them no more. The dream of judgment is a childrens	T 29 J 6 (806)
but with the little wisdom of a child. What hurts him	T 29 J 6 (806)
happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a	T 29 J 6 (806)
what was once a dream of judgment now has changed into	T 29 J 7 (807)
timelessness so close the song of Heaven can be heard, not	T 29 J 8 (807)
forever deep within the Son of God. And when he hears	T 29 J 8 (807)
where is time, when dreams of judgment have been put away	T 29 J 8 (807)
a deep content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven	T 29 J 9 (807)
lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so deep	T 29 J 9 (807)
conceal completely all your sense of doom. Your self-betrayal MUST result	T 29 J 9 (807)

steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and	T 30 A 1 (809)
to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They are	T 30 A 1 (809)
are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet	T 30 A 1 (809)
But think about the kind of day you want, and tell	T 30 B 1 (809)
not to be the judge of what to do. But it	T 30 B 2 (809)
at any time you think of it, and have a quiet	T 30 B 2 (810)
tell yourself again the kind of day you want; the feelings	T 30 B 2 (810)
occurred which is not part of it. Then realize that you	T 30 B 2 (810)
gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a different	T 30 B 2 (810)
way from what your version of the question asks will gain	T 30 B 2 (810)
robbing you of what you REALLY want. This	T 30 B 2 (811)
This works against the sense of opposition, and reminds you that	T 30 B 2 (811)
Sixth: (6) This tiny gain of wisdom will suffice to take	T 30 B 2 (811)
want it for the goal of being right when you are	T 30 B 2 (811)
final step is but acknowledgment of lack of opposition to be	T 30 B 13 (812)
is but acknowledgment of lack of opposition to be helped. It	T 30 B 13 (812)
helped. It is a statement of an open mind, not certain	T 30 B 13 (812)
protect you from the ravages of fear. When this has been	T 30 B 14 (812)
been achieved, the sorry dream of judgment has forever been undone	T 30 B 14 (812)
once again the very first of the decisions which are offered	T 30 B 14 (812)
coercion, but a simple statement of a simple fact. You will	T 30 B 15 (812)
God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which	T 30 B 15 (812)
be caused without some form of union, be it with a	T 30 B 17 (813)
be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for	T 30 B 17 (813)

C. Freedom of Will T	T 30 C 0 (814)
is for you. No spark of life but was created with	T 30 C 1 (814)
that you may be reminded of His love, and learn your	T 30 C 2 (814)

said, I have no need of everything. This little thing I	T 30 D 1 (816)
form can take the place of all the love in the	T 30 D 2 (816)
the love in the Divinity of God the Son? What idol	T 30 D 2 (816)
What idol can make two of what is one? And CAN	T 30 D 2 (816)
you decide upon the form of what you want, you lose	T 30 D 2 (816)
want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see	T 30 D 2 (816)
like. This is the PURPOSE of an idol; that you will	T 30 D 3 (816)
beyond it, to the source of the belief that you ARE	T 30 D 3 (816)
be made BEYOND the boundaries of limits on yourself. T	T 30 D 3 (816)
power to complete the Son of God. What idol can be	T 30 D 4 (817)
upon to give the Son of God what he already has	T 30 D 4 (817)
Completion is the FUNCTION of Gods Son. He has	T 30 D 5 (817)
can he give a part of him away? What is not	T 30 D 5 (817)
completely lovely Thought God holds of you. T 30 D	T 30 D 5 (817)
does the mind that thought of them. And in the Mind	T 30 D 6 (817)
them. And in the Mind of God there is no ending	T 30 D 6 (817)
die. They share the attributes of their creator, nor have they	T 30 D 6 (817)
in the Mind Which thought of you. And so there are	T 30 D 6 (817)
that you are sometimes aware of them, and sometimes not. An	T 30 D 7 (817)
there, but you were unaware of it. The Thought God holds	T 30 D 7 (817)
it. The Thought God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by	T 30 D 7 (817)
D 8 The Thoughts of God are far beyond all	T 30 D 8 (818)
remembering. The Thought God holds of you is like a star	T 30 D 8 (818)
it set that those outside of Heaven know not it is	T 30 D 8 (818)
is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the	T 30 D 10 (818)
the turmoil and the terror of the world; the dreams of	T 30 D 10 (818)
of the world; the dreams of birth and death that here	T 30 D 10 (818)
here are dreamed; the myriad of forms that fear can take	T 30 D 10 (818)
undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it	T 30 D 10 (818)
stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it	T 30 D 10 (818)
reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships	T 30 D 10 (818)
not God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness, and of its	T 30 D 10 (818)
sureness of its changelessness, and of its rest in its eternal	T 30 D 10 (818)
home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the	T 30 D 10 (818)
has never left the Mind of its Creator, Whom it knows	T 30 D 10 (818)
could the Thought God holds of you exist but where YOU	T 30 D 11 (818)
which your reality knows nothing of? Outside you, there is no	T 30 D 11 (818)
and no reality. The Mind of Heavens Son in Heaven	T 30 D 11 (818)
is, for there the Mind of Father and of Son joined	T 30 D 11 (818)
the Mind of Father and of Son joined in creation which	T 30 D 11 (818)
Nor can you be AWARE of more than one. An idol	T 30 D 11 (819)
OR the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget	T 30 D 11 (819)
are, not from the Mind of God, but from your own	T 30 D 11 (819)
But you, the holy Son of God Himself, are unaware of	T 30 D 11 (819)
of God Himself, are unaware of your reality.	T 30 D 11 (819)
loving gentleness, were you aware of it you would forget defensiveness	T 30 E 1 (820)
squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he made	T 30 E 2 (820)
and have broken his control of what surrounds him. And he	T 30 E 2 (820)
IS he at the mercy of his toys? And CAN they	T 30 E 3 (820)
Reality observes the laws of God, and not the rules	T 30 E 4 (820)
toys, without a single meaning of their own. See one in	T 30 E 4 (821)
real. What can the power of illusions DO? T 30	T 30 E 5 (821)
gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is	T 30 E 6 (821)
declares that he is free of idols. And thus IS he	T 30 E 6 (821)
to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what	T 30 E 7 (822)
free of all the dreams of what you never were, and	T 30 E 7 (822)
more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will	T 30 E 7 (822)
idle wishes for the Will of God. T 30 E	T 30 E 7 (822)
Here does the dream of separation start to fade and	T 30 E 8 (822)
be perceived without the toys of terror that you made. No	T 30 E 8 (822)
dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and	T 30 E 8 (822)
is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its unreality	T 30 E 8 (822)
for NOTHING. And the Son of God can have no need	T 30 E 8 (822)
God can have no need of them. They offer him no	T 30 E 8 (822)
real world is the state of mind in which the only	T 30 F 1 (823)
in which the only purpose of the world is seen to	T 30 F 1 (823)
becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived, and takes	T 30 F 1 (823)
perceived, and takes the place of idols, which are sought no	T 30 F 1 (823)
and no demands are made of anyone or anything to twist	T 30 F 1 (823)
and fit into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a	T 30 F 1 (823)
is understanding LOST. The folly of pursuing guilt as goal is	T 30 F 2 (823)
understood as the sole cause of pain in any form. No	T 30 F 2 (823)
not striven for. The possibility of freedom has been grasped and	T 30 F 2 (823)
The world becomes a place of hope, because its only purpose	T 30 F 2 (823)
be a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. And	T 30 F 2 (823)
united in belief the purpose of the world is one which	T 30 F 2 (823)
quite remembered, for the purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone	T 30 F 3 (823)
himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so sure	T 30 F 3 (823)
with him. No one outside of Heaven knows how this can	T 30 F 4 (824)
to remember that the Son of God knows everything his Father	T 30 F 4 (824)
real world still falls short of this, for this is God	T 30 F 5 (824)
awareness, to replace the goal of sin and guilt. And all	T 30 F 6 (824)
that stood between your image of yourself and what you are	T 30 F 6 (824)
THERE. And what the Son of God knew in creation he	T 30 F 6 (824)
in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at	T 30 F 7 (824)
stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they	T 30 F 7 (824)
hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before	T 30 F 7 (824)
beyond forgiveness, to the love of God. Yet is the love	T 30 F 7 (824)
God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then	T 30 F 7 (824)
step across the narrow boundaries of --- Manuscript	T 30 F 8 (824)
the world of fear, when you have recognized	T 30 F 8 (825)
and quickly reach the gate of Heaven itself. For He Whose	T 30 F 8 (825)
bring you pain? What moment of content has not been bought	T 30 F 9 (825)
at fearful price in coins of suffering? Joy HAS no cost	T 30 F 9 (825)
an idol tempts you, think of this: There never was a	T 30 F 10 (825)
You anything except the gift of guilt. Not one was bought	T 30 F 10 (825)
was bought except at cost of pain, Nor was it ever	T 30 F 10 (825)
F 11 The Will of God forever lies in those	T 30 F 11 (825)
826) Will of God must reach to their	T 30 F 11 (826)
given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on	T 30 G 1 (827)
rise to take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot	T 30 G 3 (827)
take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless	T 30 G 3 (827)
when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite real and	T 30 G 3 (827)
the sense of sin alive. And recognizing God	T 30 G 4 (828)
real. Thus is the fear of God the sure result of	T 30 G 4 (828)
of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No	T 30 G 4 (828)
guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is saved	T 30 G 4 (828)
forgive. The mind must think of its Creator as it looks	T 30 G 4 (828)
a mistake; a special form of error which remains unchangeable, eternal	T 30 G 5 (828)
it, and destroy the Will of God. Only if this were	T 30 G 5 (828)
belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness forgiveness	T 30 G 6 (828)
some forms of sickness and of joylessness forgiveness cannot heal. This	T 30 G 6 (828)
not deceived about the meaning of a fixed belief that some	T 30 G 6 (828)
you have set a goal of partial pardon and a limited	T 30 G 6 (828)
be except a false forgiveness of yourself, and everyone who seems	T 30 G 6 (828)
miracle can heal ALL forms of sickness, or	T 30 G 7 (828)
one illusion must be part of truth. And you could not	T 30 G 7 (829)
all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive God	T 30 G 7 (829)
you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole	T 30 G 7 (829)
there CANNOT be some forms of guilt which you cannot forgive	T 30 G 7 (829)
do not keep a part of him outside your willingness that	T 30 G 7 (829)
there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must	T 30 G 7 (829)
is no way to think of him but this, if you	T 30 G 9 (829)
that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the	T 30 G 9 (829)
which can overcome the Will of God; the glad acknowledgment that	T 30 G 9 (829)
this except a simple statement of the truth? T 30	T 30 G 9 (829)
power to make an idol of the Son of God you	T 30 G 10 (829)
an idol of the Son of God you will NOT pardon	T 30 G 10 (829)
graven image, and a sign of death. Is	T 30 G 10 (829)
God have left the meaning of the world to your interpretation	T 30 H 1 (831)
different every time you think of it. You add an element	T 30 H 1 (831)
judgments, made on different aspects of experience. And then, in looking	T 30 H 2 (831)
a meaning in the light of goals that change, with every	T 30 H 2 (831)
and make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. Fear is a	T 30 H 3 (831)
single purpose is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which	T 30 H 5 (832)
the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a	T 30 H 5 (832)
There could be no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea	T 30 H 5 (832)
And it is this idea of different goals which makes perception	T 30 H 5 (832)
both can understand, the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All sacrifice	T 30 H 6 (832)
All sacrifice entails the loss of your ability to see relationships	T 30 H 6 (832)
be seen. In any thought of loss, there IS no meaning	T 30 H 6 (832)
means. It is a part of a distorted script, which cannot	T 30 H 6 (832)
dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared. They	T 30 H 6 (832)
mean the same to both of you. ---	T 30 H 6 (832)

Interpreter. And through His use of symbols are we joined, so	T 30 H 6 (833)
mean the same to all of us. Our common language lets	T 30 H 6 (833)

is obscured by changing views of him which you PERCEIVE as	T 30 I 2 (834)
about him takes the form of the appearance of his perfect	T 30 I 2 (834)
the form of the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect	T 30 I 2 (834)
perfect freedom from all forms of lack, and safety from disaster	T 30 I 2 (834)
lack, and safety from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is	T 30 I 2 (834)
an assertion that some forms of idols have a powerful appeal	T 30 I 3 (834)
IS given you, but not of God Who knows no limits	T 30 I 3 (834)
interfere at all. The cost of the belief there must be	T 30 I 4 (835)
some appearances beyond the hope of change is that the miracle	T 30 I 4 (835)
he becomes the willing slave of what he chose instead.	T 30 I 4 (835)
see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given	T 30 I 5 (835)
you would hold in place of what your brother really is	T 30 I 6 (835)
are tempted by a dream of what he is. But do	T 30 I 6 (835)
in him in your sight of him. There is no false	T 30 I 6 (835)

you learned about this Son of God who calls to you	T 31 B 7 (841)

a lesson that the concept of the self was made to	T 31 E 4 (851)
am the thing you made of me, and as you look	T 31 E 4 (851)
me you stand condemned, because of what I am. On this	T 31 E 4 (851)
I am. On this conception of the self the world smiles	T 31 E 4 (851)
for it guarantees the pathways of the world are safely kept	T 31 E 4 (851)
the mists below the face of innocence. And in these shrouded	T 31 E 6 (851)
you are each the symbol of your sins to one another	T 31 E 6 (851)
must be made. Not one of them is true, and many	T 31 E 7 (851)
with hatred and distortions born of fear. What is a concept	T 31 E 7 (851)
its maker gives a meaning of his own? Concepts maintain the	T 31 E 7 (851)
world is real. For all of them are made within the	T 31 E 7 (851)
its thought. They are ideas of idols, painted with the brushes	T 31 E 7 (851)
idols, painted with the brushes of the world, which cannot make	T 31 E 7 (851)
E 8 A concept of the self is meaningless, for	T 31 E 8 (851)
ended with the single aim of teaching you this concept of	T 31 E 8 (852)
of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you will choose	T 31 E 8 (852)
help you see this concept of the self must be undone	T 31 E 8 (852)
be undone, if any peace of mind is to be given	T 31 E 8 (852)
be asked to make exchange of what you now believe for	T 31 E 8 (852)
now believe for total loss of self, and greater terror would	T 31 E 8 (852)
though there be some lack of ease at times and some	T 31 E 9 (852)
distress, there is no shattering of what was learned, but just	T 31 E 9 (852)
but just a re- Translation of what seems to be the	T 31 E 9 (852)
are what your brother made of you. For even though you	T 31 E 9 (852)
are what your brother made of you seems most unlikely. Even	T 31 E 10 (852)
did, who gave the face of innocence to you? Is this	T 31 E 10 (852)
s foolishness, and merely think of this; there are two parts	T 31 E 10 (852)
hide what YOU are made of. Who is there to see	T 31 E 10 (852)
Your concept of the world DEPENDS upon this	T 31 E 11 (853)
world DEPENDS upon this concept of the self. And both would	T 31 E 11 (853)
be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is	T 31 E 12 (853)
that you chose for both of you, and what he represents	T 31 E 12 (853)
It also shows some glimmering of sight into perceptions law	T 31 E 12 (853)
you see reflects the state of the PERCEIVERS mind. Yet	T 31 E 12 (853)
have gone BEFORE these concepts of the self. And something must	T 31 E 13 (853)
either view. The main advantage of the shifting to the second	T 31 E 13 (853)
for now YOU stand accused of guilt for what your brother	T 31 E 13 (853)
for him in the image of your own. While only he	T 31 E 13 (853)
E 14 The concept of the self has always been	T 31 E 14 (853)
always been the great preoccupation of the world. And everyone believes	T 31 E 14 (853)
the answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen	T 31 E 14 (853)
not concern itself with content of the mind, but with the	T 31 E 14 (853)
And vaguely does the concept of the self appear to answer	T 31 E 14 (854)
to wicked things? Your concept of yourself will still remain quite	T 31 E 15 (854)
you see yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you	T 31 E 15 (854)
upon, and nothing is outside of this perception. If you can	T 31 E 15 (854)
anything, you see a picture of your secret wishes. Nothing more	T 31 E 15 (854)
this. And in your suffering of any kind, you see your	T 31 E 15 (854)
You will make many concepts of the self as learning goes	T 31 E 16 (854)
own relationships, as your perception of yourself is changed. There will	T 31 E 16 (854)
you thankful that the learning of the world is loosening its	T 31 E 16 (854)
mind at peace. The role of the accuser will appear in	T 31 E 16 (854)
world can teach no images of you unless you WANT to	T 31 E 17 (854)
unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid	T 31 E 17 (854)
its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement	T 31 E 17 (854)
you are will TELL you of Itself. ---	T 31 E 18 (855)
you may see the world of flesh no more except to	T 31 F 1 (856)
body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings	T 31 F 2 (856)
but dust? Salvation is undoing of all this. And constancy arises	T 31 F 2 (856)
constancy arises in the sight of those whose eyes salvation has	T 31 F 2 (856)
from looking at the cost of keeping guilt, because they chose	T 31 F 2 (856)
would be gone. The veil of ignorance is drawn across the	T 31 F 3 (856)
choose to see the Son of God as you would have	T 31 F 5 (857)
forget not that no concept of yourself will stand against the	T 31 F 5 (857)
will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth	T 31 F 5 (857)
to see, because the concept of the SELF has changed. Are	T 31 F 5 (857)
deathless, and without the promise of corruption and the stain of	T 31 F 6 (857)
of corruption and the stain of sin upon you? So the	T 31 F 6 (857)
seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place	T 31 F 6 (857)
be done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter	T 31 F 6 (857)
nor to make the kinds of change you could not recognize	T 31 G 1 (858)
here but holds a concept of himself in which he counts	T 31 G 1 (858)
to shake your sorry concept of yourself, and blacken it with	T 31 G 2 (858)
your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of	T 31 G 2 (858)
of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself IS wholly changed. YOUR	T 31 G 2 (858)
you should be the sign of evil and of guilt in	T 31 G 2 (858)
the sign of evil and of guilt in him. And as	T 31 G 2 (858)
G 3 In terms of concepts, it is thus you	T 31 G 3 (858)
seems to be. The actions of the body are perceived as	T 31 G 3 (858)
coming from the baser part of you, and thus of him	T 31 G 3 (858)
part of you, and thus of him as well. By focusing	T 31 G 3 (858)
this will be your concept of YOURSELF, when you have reached	T 31 G 3 (858)
this. For both are concepts of yourself, which can be interchanged	T 31 G 4 (859)
you will love this concept of yourself, because it was not	T 31 G 4 (859)
been accepted now for BOTH of you. T 31 G	T 31 G 4 (859)
so that your fearful concept of yourself may change. And look	T 31 G 5 (859)
do not cloud your view of him. And all this shift	T 31 G 5 (859)
behalf, remember what the concept of yourself which now you hold	T 31 G 5 (859)
you may have the gift of kind forgiveness which you offer	T 31 G 5 (859)
And let the cruel concept of yourself be changed to one	T 31 G 5 (859)
one which brings the peace of God. T 31 G	T 31 G 5 (859)
G 6 The concept of yourself which now you hold	T 31 G 6 (859)
you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility. Yet	T 31 G 6 (859)
hold it past the hope of change, and keep it static	T 31 G 6 (859)
yourself as NEEDED for salvation of the world, instead of as	T 31 G 6 (859)
salvation of the world, instead of as salvations enemy?	T 31 G 6 (859)
G 7 The concept of the self stands like a	T 31 G 7 (859)
most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies beyond. At least	T 31 G 7 (860)
guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see	T 31 G 7 (860)
Guide all lead you out of Hell with those you love	T 31 G 7 (860)
the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord	T 31 G 8 (860)
true creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted ALL	T 31 G 8 (860)
ALL salvation from the misery of Hell. And to each one	T 31 G 8 (860)
himself, and sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is	T 31 G 8 (860)
him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing	T 31 G 8 (860)
does he see the face of Christ, and understands he looks	T 31 G 8 (860)
The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of God	T 31 G 9 (860)
face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and	T 31 G 9 (860)
the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of	T 31 G 9 (860)
of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all	T 31 G 9 (860)
kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off	T 31 G 9 (860)
away from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon which	T 31 G 9 (860)
you give to the illusion of yourself, that it may fight	T 31 G 9 (860)
to separation from the sight of him who holds the mirror	T 31 G 9 (860)
the mirror to another view of what he is, and thus	T 31 G 9 (860)
rise to but an image of yourself that CAN be miserable	T 31 G 10 (860)
whom God has given each of you to save are everyone	T 31 G 10 (861)
could you be the Savior of the Son of God? How	T 31 G 11 (861)
the Savior of the Son of God? How would you know	T 31 G 11 (861)
may be what they expect of him. This is the Savior	T 31 G 11 (861)
everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm and	T 31 G 11 (861)
It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that	T 31 G 12 (861)
your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has	T 31 G 12 (861)
image has the wish begot of YOU. For vision CAN but	T 31 G 12 (861)
only on the simple choice of whether you would join with	T 31 G 12 (861)
s vision is as innocent of what your brother is as	T 31 G 13 (861)
is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself	T 31 G 13 (861)
862) meaning of what I behold? Then is	T 31 G 13 (862)
held open for the face of Christ to shine upon the	T 31 G 13 (862)
to see beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient concepts	T 31 G 13 (862)
and dear AGAINST the vision of the Christ in you.	T 31 G 13 (862)
instead. It is a thing of madness, pain and death; a	T 31 G 14 (862)
pain and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of	T 31 G 14 (862)
of treachery and black despair, of failing dreams and no remaining	T 31 G 14 (862)
die, and end the dream of fear. THIS is temptation; nothing	T 31 G 14 (862)
is Hell or Heaven, and of these you choose but ONE	T 31 G 14 (862)
would persuade the holy Son of God he is a body	T 31 H 1 (863)
your place among the Saviors of the world, or would remain	T 31 H 1 (863)
your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. And what	T 31 H 2 (863)
no power. And the light of Christ in you is given	T 31 H 2 (863)
in you is given charge of everything you do. For you	T 31 H 2 (863)
would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image	T 31 H 3 (863)
you comfortless, alone in dreams of Hell, but would release your	T 31 H 3 (863)
you be. Be never fearful of temptation, then, but see it	T 31 H 4 (863)
place you raised an image of yourself before. For what appears	T 31 H 4 (864)
appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless before His	T 31 H 4 (864)
His holy sight. The Saviors of the world, who see like	T 31 H 4 (864)
who chose His strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart	T 31 H 4 (864)
joined in all the power of the Will of God. And	T 31 H 4 (864)
the power of the Will of God. And what they will	T 31 H 4 (864)
Learn, then, the happy habit of response to all temptation to	T 31 H 5 (864)
thing you look upon, regardless of the images you see. What	T 31 H 6 (864)
the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way to	T 31 H 6 (864)
before your feet the peace of God, and power to bring	T 31 H 6 (864)
eyes I bring a vision of a different world, so new	T 31 H 6 (865)
thus will all the vestiges of Hell, the secret sins and	T 31 H 8 (865)
they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to our sight, to	T 31 H 8 (865)
me as You are sure of what they are, and will	T 31 H 9 (865)
in purpose, and the end of Hell is near. T	T 31 H 9 (865)
join with me, the song of thanks from earth to Heaven	T 31 H 10 (865)
grows from tiny scattered threads of melody to one inclusive chorus	T 31 H 10 (865)
where it began. No trace of it remains. Not one illusion	T 31 H 11 (866)
faith, and not one spot of darkness still remains to hide	T 31 H 11 (866)
remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy Will	T 31 H 11 (866)
we have reached where all of us are One, and we	T 31 H 11 (866)
nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the	W 1 IN 1 W(1)
3. The purpose of these exercises is to train	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
mind to a different perception of everything in the world. The	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
first dealing with the undoing of what you see now, and	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
the second with the restoration of sight. It is recommended that	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
you spend any long period of time. The purpose is to	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
you will understand that each of them is as applicable to	W 1 IN 3 W(1)
idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as	W 1 IN 4 W(1)
W(2) of the exercises is to increase	W 1 IN 4 (2)
is to increase the application of the idea to everything. This	W 1 IN 4 (2)
idea. 5. Some of the ideas you will find	W 1 IN 5 (2)
need not welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist	W 1 IN 5 (2)
you may actively resist. None of this will matter, nor decrease	W 1 IN 5 (2)
for differences in the kinds of things to which they are	W 1 L 3 (3)
applied. That is the purpose of the exercise. The statement is	W 1 L 3 (3)
as far as the application of the idea is concerned.	W 1 L 3 (3)
previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see	W 3 L 1 (5)
do not question the suitability of anything for the application of	W 3 L 1 (5)
of anything for the application of the idea. These are not	W 3 L 1 (5)
if you see it. Some of the things you see may	W 3 L 1 (5)
2. The point of the exercises is to help	W 3 L 2 (5)
help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see	W 3 L 2 (5)
If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts use them as	W 4 L 1 (6)
that, in a sense, none of them can be called good	W 4 L 1 (6)
the subjects for the application of todays idea, the usual	W 4 L 2 (6)
as well as bad. None of them represents your real thoughts	W 4 L 2 (6)
by them. The good ones of which you are aware are	W 4 L 2 (6)
are aware are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows	W 4 L 2 (6)
first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the	W 4 L 3 (6)
attempt in the long-range purpose of learning to see the meaningless	W 4 L 3 (6)
It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize	W 4 L 3 (6)
using your thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify	W 4 L 3 (6)
these exercises are the first of their kind, you may find	W 4 L 4 (7)
you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with thoughts	W 4 L 4 (7)
you believe is the cause of your upset, using the description	W 5 L 1 (8)
your upset, using the description of the feeling in whatever term	W 5 L 1 (8)
hatred, jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which will	W 5 L 1 (8)
any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as	W 5 L 1 (8)
the same idea to each of them separately is the first	W 5 L 1 (8)
for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any form	W 5 L 2 (8)
form, use both the name of the form in which you	W 5 L 2 (8)
think. I am not afraid of ____ for the reason I	W 5 L 2 (8)
search your mind for sources of upset in which you believe	W 5 L 2 (8)
which you believe, and forms of upset which you think result	W 5 L 2 (8)
equally disturbing to my peace of mind. Then examine your mind	W 5 L 3 (8)
whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little	W 5 L 3 (8)
to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If	W 5 L 4 (9)
If this occurs, think first of this: I cannot keep this	W 5 L 4 (9)
I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others	W 5 L 4 (9)
others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will	W 5 L 4 (9)
try to identify a number of different forms of upset that	W 5 L 4 (9)
a number of different forms of upset that are disturbing you	W 5 L 4 (9)
that are disturbing you, regardless of the relative importance you may	W 5 L 4 (9)
idea for today to each of them, using the name of	W 5 L 4 (9)
of them, using the name of both the source of the	W 5 L 4 (9)
name of both the source of the upset as you perceive	W 5 L 4 (9)
as you perceive it, and of the feelings as you experience	W 5 L 4 (9)
to name both the form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression	W 6 L 1 (10)
very specifically for any application of the idea. For example: I	W 6 L 1 (10)
by a minute or so of mind-searching, as before, and the	W 6 L 2 (10)
as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting	W 6 L 2 (10)
than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in	W 6 L 3 (10)
equally disturbing to my peace of mind. and I cannot keep	W 6 L 3 (10)
I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others	W 6 L 3 (10)
others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will	W 6 L 3 (10)
is the rationale for all of the preceding ones. It is	W 7 L 1 (11)
merely reviewing your past experiences of picking up a cup, being	W 7 L 3 (11)
a cup, feeling the rim of a cup against your lips	W 7 L 3 (11)
whether or not this kind of cup will break if you	W 7 L 3 (11)
you. This is equally true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge	W 7 L 4 (11)
1. This idea is, of course, the reason why you	W 8 L 1 (13)
the past is the cause of the total misconception about time	W 8 L 1 (13)
3. The purpose of the exercises for today is	W 8 L 3 (13)
Then name each of your thoughts specifically, for example	W 8 L 4 (14)
to be thinking about (name of person), about (name of object	W 8 L 4 (14)
name of person), about (name of object), about (name of emotion	W 8 L 4 (14)
name of object), about (name of emotion), and so on, concluding	W 8 L 4 (14)
on, concluding at the end of the mind-searching period with: But	W 8 L 4 (14)
active resistance in any number of forms. Yet that does not	W 9 L 2 (15
step will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding	W 9 L 2 (15
come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been	W 9 L 2 (15
mind which has been cleared of the debris which darkens it	W 9 L 2 (15
application, and the essential rule of excluding nothing. It is emphasized	W 9 L 3 (15
applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware, or	W 10 L 1 (17)
idea is applicable to all of them is that they are	W 10 L 1 (17)
we have used this kind of idea. The form is only	W 10 L 2 (17)
introduced with My thoughts instead of These thoughts, and no link	W 10 L 2 (17)
is now on the lack of reality of what you think	W 10 L 2 (17)
on the lack of reality of what you think you think	W 10 L 2 (17)
3. This aspect of the correction process began with	W 10 L 3 (17)
the idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are	W 10 L 3 (17)
are emphasizing that the presence of these thoughts means that you	W 10 L 3 (17)
This is merely another way of repeating our earlier statement that	W 10 L 3 (17)
judgment. Try to avoid classification of any kind. In fact, if	W 10 L 4 (17)
than a minute or so of mind-searching. It is not recommended	W 10 L 5 (18)
related to a major phase of the correction process; the reversal	W 11 L 1 (19)
the correction process; the reversal of the thinking of the world	W 11 L 1 (19)
the reversal of the thinking of the world. It seems as	W 11 L 1 (19)
haste and with no sense of urgency or effort. 3	W 11 L 2 (19)
1. The importance of this idea lies in the	W 12 L 1 (20)
so that the slow shifting of your glance from one thing	W 12 L 2 (20)
Do not allow the time of the shift to become markedly	W 12 L 2 (20)
For example, you might think of a good world, or a	W 12 L 3 (20)
is unpleasant. For the purposes of these exercises, there is no	W 12 L 4 (20)
At the end of the practice period, add: But	W 12 L 4 (21)
words is written the Word of God. The truth upsets you	W 12 L 5 (21)
That is the ultimate purpose of these exercises. 6.	W 12 L 5 (21)
whenever you experience a sense of strain. ---	W 12 L 6 (21)
idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that	W 13 L 1 (22)
it. 2. Recognition of meaninglessness arouses intense anxiety in	W 13 L 2 (22)
that you are really afraid of such a thought because of	W 13 L 5 (23)
of such a thought because of the vengeance of the enemy	W 13 L 5 (23)
thought because of the vengeance of the enemy. You are not	W 13 L 5 (23)
Note carefully, however, any signs of overt or covert fear which	W 13 L 5 (23)
explicit cause and effect relationship of a kind which you are	W 13 L 6 (23)
try not even to think of it except during the exercise	W 13 L 6 (23)
The idea for today is, of course, the reason why a	W 14 L 1 (24)
do with reality. It is of your own making, and it	W 14 L 1 (24)
world, and see the Word of God in their place. The	W 14 L 3 (24)
and even quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly	W 14 L 3 (24)
With eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the	W 14 L 4 (24)
Suitable subjects for the application of todays idea also >include	W 14 L 5 (24)
This is your personal repertory of horrors at which you are	W 14 L 6 (25)
looking. These things are part of the world you see. Some	W 14 L 6 (25)
the world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and	W 14 L 6 (25)
illusions, and others are part of your personal hell. It does	W 14 L 6 (25)
has no meaning. In recognition of this fact, conclude the practice	W 14 L 6 (25)
The idea for today can, of course, be applied to anything	W 14 L 7 (25)
image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with illusions	W 15 L 1 (26)
introductory idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing	W 15 L 2 (26)
you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar	W 15 L 2 (26)
now. That is the beginning of real vision. You can be	W 15 L 2 (26)
take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not	W 15 L 3 (26)
unexpected. Do not be afraid of them. They are signs that	W 15 L 3 (26)
to include a large number of specific subjects for the application	W 15 L 4 (26)
specific subjects for the application of todays idea. It is	W 15 L 4 (26)
during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try	W 15 L 5 (27)
you see is the result of your thoughts. There is no	W 16 L 1 (28)
more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise	W 16 L 2 (28)
gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly	W 16 L 2 (28)
that occurs to you, regardless of the quality which you assign	W 16 L 4 (28)
idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which arouses	W 16 L 6 (29)
will be enough. The length of the exercise period should also	W 16 L 7 (29)
another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as	W 17 L 1 (30)
would itself be the cause of reality. In view of its	W 17 L 1 (30)
cause of reality. In view of its highly variable nature, this	W 17 L 1 (30)
inanimate; pleasant or unpleasant. Regardless of what you may believe, you	W 17 L 3 (30)
you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really	W 17 L 3 (30)
if you do, the length of the practice period may be	W 17 L 4 (30)
alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing.	W 18 L 0 (31)
today will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or	W 18 L 2 (31)
Selecting subjects for the application of the idea randomly, look at	W 18 L 3 (31)
alone in experiencing the effects of how I see ___. Conclude	W 18 L 3 (31)
alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. A minute or	W 18 L 3 (31)
alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.	W 19 L 0 (32)
with it an enormous sense of responsibility, and may even be	W 19 L 2 (32)
be regarded as an invasion of privacy. Yet it is a	W 19 L 2 (32)
because it is the Will of God. 3. The	W 19 L 2 (32)
The minute or so of mind-searching which todays exercises	W 19 L 3 (32)
one, name it in terms of the central person or theme	W 19 L 3 (32)
alone in experiencing the effects of this thought about ____.	W 19 L 3 (32)
4. The requirement of as much indiscriminateness as possible	W 19 L 4 (32)
forget, however, that random selection of subjects for all practice periods	W 19 L 4 (32)
periods remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this connection will	W 19 L 4 (32)
will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles	W 19 L 4 (32)
make the recognition of lack of order in miracles meaningful to	W 19 L 4 (32)
from the as needed application of todays idea, at least	W 19 L 5 (33)
are required, shortening the length of time involved, if necessary. Do	W 19 L 5 (33)
We have not lost sight of the crucial importance of the	W 20 L 1 (34)
sight of the crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking	W 20 L 1 (34)
crucial importance of the reversal of your thinking. The salvation of	W 20 L 1 (34)
of your thinking. The salvation of the world depends on it	W 20 L 1 (34)
little effort that is asked of you for a sign that	W 20 L 3 (34)
sign that our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation	W 20 L 3 (34)
little worth. Can the salvation of the world be a trivial	W 20 L 3 (34)
Such is the real law of cause and effect as it	W 20 L 5 (35)
obviously a continuation and extension of the preceding one. This time	W 21 L 1 (36)
anger may take the form of any reaction ranging from mild	W 21 L 2 (36)
irritation to rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does	W 21 L 2 (36)
aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a	W 21 L 2 (36)
to let the little thoughts of anger escape you in the	W 21 L 3 (36)
It is merely an example of the belief that some forms	W 21 L 3 (36)
the belief that some forms of attack are more justified than	W 21 L 3 (36)
determined to see ____ (name of person) differently. I am determined	W 21 L 4 (36)
anger on a particular attribute of a particular person, believing that	W 21 L 4 (36)
this aspect. If your perception of the person is suffering from	W 21 L 4 (36)
is suffering from this form of distortion, say: I am determined	W 21 L 4 (36)
specify the attribute) in____ (name of person) differently.	W 21 L 4 (36)
I see is a form of vengeance. 1	W 22 L 0 (37)
how he sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counterattack will preoccupy	W 22 L 1 (37)
his entire world. What peace of mind is possible to him	W 22 L 1 (37)
I see is a form of vengeance. At the end of	W 22 L 3 (37)
of vengeance. At the end of each practice period, ask yourself	W 22 L 3 (37)
contains the only way out of fear that will succeed. Nothing	W 23 L 1 (38)
have makes up some segment of the world you see. It	W 23 L 1 (38)
must work, if your perception of the world is to be	W 23 L 1 (38)
2. If the cause of the world you see is	W 23 L 2 (38)
the world. It is incapable of change because it is merely	W 23 L 2 (38)
in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your perceptions	W 23 L 3 (38)
a symbol of vengeance. Each of your perceptions of external reality	W 23 L 3 (38)
vengeance. Each of your perceptions of external reality is a pictorial	W 23 L 3 (38)
reality is a pictorial representation of your own attack thoughts. One	W 23 L 3 (38)
even though they were made of hate. For you will not	W 23 L 4 (38)
to include both your thoughts of attacking and of being attacked	W 23 L 7 (39)
your thoughts of attacking and of being attacked. Their effects are	W 23 L 7 (39)
are still at the stage of identifying the cause of the	W 23 L 7 (39)
stage of identifying the cause of the world you see. When	W 23 L 7 (39)
you finally realize that thoughts of attack and of being attacked	W 23 L 7 (39)
that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different	W 23 L 7 (39)
appropriate action, and no way of judging the results. What you	W 24 L 1 (40)
is determined by your perception of the situation, and that perception	W 24 L 1 (40)
are. But in the presence of your conviction that you do	W 24 L 2 (40)
and carefully considered in each of the five practice periods which	W 24 L 3 (40)
than a more cursory examination of a large number. Two minutes	W 24 L 3 (40)
minutes are suggested for each of the mind-searching periods which the	W 24 L 3 (40)
that you have a number of goals in mind as part	W 24 L 4 (40)
goals in mind as part of the desired outcome; and also	W 24 L 4 (40)
in its resolution. The form of each application should be roughly	W 24 L 5 (40)
cover as many different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur	W 24 L 5 (41)
to you, even if some of them do not appear to	W 24 L 5 (41)
are making a large number of demands of the situation which	W 24 L 6 (41)
a large number of demands of the situation which have nothing	W 24 L 6 (41)
will also recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that	W 24 L 6 (41)
disappointment in connection with some of your goals however the situation	W 24 L 6 (41)
out. After covering the list of as many hoped-for goals as	W 24 L 6 (41)
it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals have	W 25 L 2 (42)
false identification makes you incapable of understanding what anything is for	W 25 L 2 (42)
assigned to the world, instead of attempting to reinforce them.	W 25 L 2 (42)
3. Another way of describing the goals you now	W 25 L 3 (42)
can make any sense out of the exercises for today, one	W 25 L 4 (42)
telephone is for the purpose of talking to someone who is	W 25 L 4 (42)
Six practice periods, each of two minutes duration, are required	W 25 L 6 (43)
begin with a slow repetition of the idea for today, followed	W 25 L 6 (43)
they have attacked your perception of yourself. And because you believe	W 26 L 3 (44)
in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take	W 26 L 3 (44)
come to take the place of what you are. 4	W 26 L 3 (44)
or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except	W 26 L 4 (44)
should be attempted for each of them, although the time may	W 26 L 5 (45)
concern may take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense	W 26 L 6 (45)
depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, fear, foreboding, or preoccupation	W 26 L 6 (45)
7. As the list of anticipated outcomes for each situation	W 26 L 7 (45)
you will probably find some of them, especially those which occur	W 26 L 7 (45)
you have named each outcome of which you are afraid, tell	W 26 L 8 (45)
does not matter. The purpose of todays exercises is to	W 27 L 1 (46)
to believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of	W 27 L 2 (46)
of sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you	W 27 L 2 (46)
become uneasy by the lack of reservation involved, add: Vision has	W 27 L 2 (46)
cost to anyone. If fear of loss still persists, add further	W 27 L 2 (46)
to be true? Answer either of these two questions, and you	W 27 L 4 (46)
have saved yourself many years of effort. ---	W 27 L 4 (46)
specific application to the idea of for yesterday. In these practice	W 28 L 1 (47)
will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of	W 28 L 1 (47)
of definite commitments. The question of whether you will keep them	W 28 L 1 (47)
mean? You see a lot of separate things about you, which	W 28 L 2 (47)
will see in any one of them is the same light	W 28 L 2 (47)
meaning to your tiny experiences of tables, nor are you limiting	W 28 L 3 (47)
already defined. And the purpose of these exercises is to ask	W 28 L 4 (47)
something beautiful and clean and of infinite value, full of happiness	W 28 L 5 (48)
and of infinite value, full of happiness and hope. Hidden under	W 28 L 5 (48)
asking to see the purpose of the universe. You will be	W 28 L 6 (48)
be making the same request of each subject which you use	W 28 L 6 (48)
making a commitment to each of them to let their purpose	W 28 L 6 (48)
be revealed to you, instead of placing your own judgment upon	W 28 L 6 (48)
to acknowledge the equal value of them all in their contribution	W 28 L 7 (48)
applications should include the name of the subject which your eyes	W 28 L 8 (48)
a table shares the purpose of the universe. And what shares	W 29 L 2 (49)
And what shares the purpose of the universe shares the purpose	W 29 L 2 (49)
the universe shares the purpose of its Creator. 3.	W 29 L 2 (49)
with todays idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember	W 29 L 4 (49)
5. Your list of subjects should therefore be as	W 29 L 5 (49)
should therefore be as free of self-selection as possible. For example	W 29 L 5 (49)
you should experience a sense of restfulness as you do this	W 29 L 6 (50)
to use the new kind of projection. We are not attempting	W 30 L 2 (51)
not attempting to get rid of what we do not like	W 30 L 2 (51)
it were within the range of your sight. 4.	W 30 L 3 (51)
this idea, try to think of things beyond your present range	W 30 L 4 (51)
I am not the victim of the world I see.	W 31 L 0 (52)
the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the idea should	W 31 L 1 (52)
we will use a form of practice which will be used	W 31 L 1 (52)
basis, and the other consisting of frequent applications of the idea	W 31 L 1 (52)
other consisting of frequent applications of the idea throughout the day	W 31 L 1 (52)
day. 2. Two longer periods of practice with the idea for	W 31 L 2 (52)
to five minutes for each of them is recommended. During that	W 31 L 2 (52)
the inner is the cause of the outer. 3.	W 31 L 2 (52)
not to establish any thought of hierarchy among them. Watch them	W 31 L 3 (52)
to, but with no sense of hurry. 4. In	W 31 L 3 (52)
you are making a declaration of independence in the name of	W 31 L 4 (52)
of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in	W 31 L 4 (52)
your freedom lies the freedom of the world. 5.	W 31 L 4 (52)
a response to any form of temptation. It is a declaration	W 31 L 5 (52)
continuing to develop the theme of cause and effect. You are	W 32 L 1 (53)
You are not the victim of the world you see because	W 32 L 1 (53)
possible. The shorter applications consist of repeating the idea slowly, as	W 32 L 5 (53)
33. There is another way of looking at the world.	W 33 L 0 (54)
you can shift your perception of the world in both its	W 33 L 1 (54)
but without an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around	W 33 L 2 (54)
frequent as possible. Specific applications of todays idea should also	W 33 L 3 (54)
say: There is another way of looking at this. 4	W 33 L 3 (54)
the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary	W 33 L 4 (54)
probably help in this form of application. ---	W 33 L 4 (54)
I could see peace instead of this. 1	W 34 L 0 (55)
prevail in the other way of seeing. Peace of mind is	W 34 L 1 (55)
other way of seeing. Peace of mind is clearly an internal	W 34 L 1 (55)
It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception	W 34 L 1 (55)
mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises. 2	W 34 L 1 (55)
world to which the applications of todays idea should be	W 34 L 2 (55)
3. Some five minutes of mind-searching are required for each	W 34 L 3 (55)
mind-searching are required for each of the longer practice periods. Search	W 34 L 3 (55)
to experience difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat	W 34 L 4 (55)
whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any	W 34 L 5 (55)
day. If a specific form of temptation arises in your awareness	W 34 L 5 (55)
peace in this situation instead of what I now see in	W 34 L 5 (55)
the inroads on your peace of mind take the form of	W 34 L 5 (55)
of mind take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, such	W 34 L 5 (55)
need more than one application of todays idea to help	W 34 L 6 (56)
until you feel some sense of relief. It will help you	W 34 L 6 (56)
I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety, or worry (or	W 34 L 6 (56)
35. My mind is part of Gods. I am very	W 35 L 0 (57)
this world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he	W 35 L 1 (57)
believe that you are part of where you think you are	W 35 L 2 (57)
it to protect the image of yourself which you have made	W 35 L 2 (57)
made. The image is part of it. What you see while	W 35 L 2 (57)
is seen through the eyes of the image. It is not	W 35 L 2 (57)
presents a very different view of yourself. By establishing your Source	W 35 L 3 (57)
use a somewhat different kind of application for todays idea	W 35 L 3 (57)
4. For each of the three five-minute practice periods	W 35 L 4 (57)
mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms in which you	W 35 L 4 (57)
you see yourself. Include all of the ego-based attributes which you	W 35 L 4 (57)
undesirable, grandiose or debased. All of them are equally unreal because	W 35 L 4 (57)
upon yourself through the eyes of holiness. 5. In	W 35 L 4 (57)
In the earlier part of the mind-searching period, you will	W 35 L 5 (57)
be the more negative aspects of your perception of yourself. Toward	W 35 L 5 (57)
negative aspects of your perception of yourself. Toward the latter part	W 35 L 5 (57)
yourself. Toward the latter part of the exercise period, however, more	W 35 L 5 (57)
to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does	W 35 L 5 (57)
You should not think of these terms in an abstract	W 35 L 7 (58)
But my mind is part of Gods. I am very	W 35 L 7 (58)
adding the idea to each of them in the form stated	W 35 L 9 (58)
because your mind is part of Gods. And because you	W 36 L 1 (59)
If your mind is part of Gods you must be	W 36 L 1 (59)
be sinless, or a part of His Mind would be sinful	W 36 L 1 (59)
eyes closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite slowly	W 36 L 4 (59)
idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the	W 37 L 1 (60)
vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice, because it offers everyone	W 37 L 1 (60)
his birthright as a Son of God. 2. There	W 37 L 1 (60)
way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from	W 37 L 2 (60)
s thinking. Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment	W 37 L 2 (60)
seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. As a	W 37 L 2 (60)
blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see themselves	W 37 L 2 (60)
Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you	W 37 L 3 (60)
involve three to five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition	W 37 L 4 (60)
practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for today, followed	W 37 L 4 (60)
by a minute or so of looking about you as you	W 37 L 4 (60)
you may use any combination of these two phases of application	W 37 L 5 (61)
combination of these two phases of application which you prefer. The	W 37 L 5 (61)
should conclude with a repetition of the idea made with your	W 37 L 5 (61)
The shorter exercises consist of repeating the idea as often	W 37 L 6 (61)
you. Offer him the blessing of your holiness immediately, that you	W 37 L 6 (61)
holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond	W 38 L 1 (62)
It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance, and limits	W 38 L 1 (62)
time, space, distance, and limits of any kind. Your holiness is	W 38 L 1 (62)
establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the	W 38 L 1 (62)
at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your holiness	W 38 L 1 (62)
Through your holiness the power of God is made manifest. Through	W 38 L 1 (62)
Through your holiness the power of God is made available. And	W 38 L 1 (62)
there is nothing the power of God cannot do. 2	W 38 L 1 (62)
we will apply the power of your holiness to all problems	W 38 L 3 (62)
that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else	W 38 L 3 (62)
your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any	W 38 L 4 (62)
sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind, as you see	W 38 L 4 (62)
and add some relevant thoughts of your own. You might like	W 38 L 5 (63)
cannot do because the power of God lies in it. Introduce	W 38 L 5 (63)
holiness cannot do. The purpose of todays exercises is to	W 38 L 5 (63)
dominion over all things because of what you are. 6	W 38 L 5 (63)
use the more specific form of application. ---	W 38 L 6 (63)
been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think	W 36 L 1 (64)
not due to the ambiguity of the question. But do you	W 36 L 2 (64)
your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your	W 36 L 3 (64)
is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply	W 36 L 3 (64)
Your holiness means the end of guilt, and therefore the end	W 36 L 4 (64)
guilt, and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the	W 36 L 4 (64)
Your holiness is the salvation of the world, and your own	W 36 L 4 (64)
you associate with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects	W 36 L 7 (65)
for today to each one of them in this way: My	W 36 L 8 (65)
not seem to be thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very	W 36 L 9 (65)
itself in varying the method of applying it. However you elect	W 36 L 10 (65)
arise, a particularly helpful form of the idea is: My holiness	W 36 L 11 (66)
am blessed as a Son of God. 1	W 40 L 0 (67)
will begin to assert some of the happy things to which	W 40 L 1 (67)
may be in a number of situations during the day when	W 40 L 2 (67)
miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite	W 40 L 2 (67)
idea, and then add several of the attributes which you associate	W 40 L 3 (67)
associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself	W 40 L 3 (67)
period might, for example, consist of the following: I am blessed	W 40 L 3 (67)
am blessed as a Son of God. I am happy, peaceful	W 40 L 3 (67)
am blessed as a Son of God. I am calm, quiet	W 40 L 3 (67)
are blessed as a Son of God will do.	W 40 L 3 (67)
eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment which all	W 41 L 1 (68)
Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. So are anxiety, worry	W 41 L 1 (68)
anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense	W 41 L 1 (68)
misery, suffering, and intense fear of loss. 2. The	W 41 L 1 (68)
believe to be the ills of the world. But the one	W 41 L 2 (68)
is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects	W 41 L 2 (68)
were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to these beliefs	W 41 L 3 (68)
You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its	W 41 L 4 (68)
never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you	W 41 L 4 (68)
be alone because the Source of all life goes with you	W 41 L 4 (68)
Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with	W 41 L 4 (68)
within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring	W 41 L 5 (68)
eyes closed. At the beginning of this practice period, repeat today	W 41 L 6 (69)
make no effort to think of anything. Try, instead, to get	W 41 L 6 (69)
instead, to get a sense of turning inward, past all the	W 41 L 6 (69)
past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter	W 41 L 6 (69)
own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert	W 41 L 6 (69)
find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down	W 41 L 7 (69)
and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying	W 41 L 7 (69)
in connection with this kind of practice as we go along	W 41 L 8 (69)
preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what	W 41 L 9 (69)
two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets	W 42 L 1 (70)
efforts to achieve the goal of the course. You will see	W 42 L 1 (70)
because it is the Will of God. It is His strength	W 42 L 1 (70)
time. Such is the strength of God. Such are His gifts	W 42 L 2 (70)
After this, try to think of nothing except thoughts which occur	W 42 L 4 (70)
be astonished at the amount of course-related understanding some of your	W 42 L 5 (70)
amount of course-related understanding some of your own thoughts contain. Let	W 42 L 5 (70)
period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with eyes open	W 42 L 6 (71)
no limit on the number of short practice periods which would	W 42 L 7 (71)
reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important to	W 42 L 7 (71)
Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm	W 43 L 1 (72)
God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created	W 43 L 1 (72)
salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has	W 43 L 2 (72)
purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose	W 43 L 2 (72)
the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness	W 43 L 2 (72)
means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and	W 43 L 2 (72)
readiness permit. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat the	W 43 L 4 (72)
five subjects for this phase of the exercise are sufficient. You	W 43 L 4 (72)
5. Although this part of the exercise period should be	W 43 L 5 (72)
the second and longer phase of the exercise period, close your	W 43 L 5 (73)
I see through the eyes of forgiveness, I see the world	W 43 L 5 (73)
you begin to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out	W 43 L 6 (73)
thoughts which are clearly out of accord with todays idea	W 43 L 6 (73)
to be unable to think of anything, open your eyes, repeat	W 43 L 6 (73)
fact, not to make distinctions of this kind at all.	W 43 L 7 (73)
any way. For this kind of application, use this form: God	W 43 L 8 (73)
not to allow long periods of time to slip by without	W 43 L 9 (74)
and is therefore an aspect of creation. Creation and darkness cannot	W 44 L 1 (75)
together, being but different aspects of creation. 2. In	W 44 L 1 (75)
outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the light	W 44 L 2 (75)
we will use a form of practice which has been suggested	W 44 L 3 (75)
it represents a major goal of mind training. It embodies precisely	W 44 L 3 (75)
with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise	W 44 L 4 (75)
sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use today	W 44 L 4 (75)
ready to learn the form of exercise we will use today	W 44 L 5 (75)
s eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into	W 44 L 5 (75)
mind, letting go every kind of interference and intrusions by quietly	W 44 L 7 (76)
While no particular form of approach is advocated, what is	W 44 L 8 (76)
is needful is a sense of the importance of what you	W 44 L 8 (76)
a sense of the importance of what you are doing, its	W 44 L 8 (76)
closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you	W 44 L 9 (76)
you should experience some sense of relaxation, and even a feeling	W 44 L 10 (76)
into light. Try to think of light, formless and without limit	W 44 L 10 (76)
you pass by the thoughts of this world. And do not	W 44 L 10 (76)
You think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your	W 45 L 2 (78)
you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because	W 45 L 2 (78)
thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. They	W 45 L 2 (78)
is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your	W 45 L 2 (78)
so are your thoughts part of His Thoughts. 3.	W 45 L 2 (78)
is thought by the Mind of God is eternal, being part	W 45 L 3 (78)
God is eternal, being part of creation. 4. Our	W 45 L 3 (78)
deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let	W 45 L 4 (78)
will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back	W 45 L 4 (78)
will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that	W 45 L 4 (78)
today. It is the Will of God. ---	W 45 L 5 (78)
thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea	W 45 L 6 (79)
some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea	W 45 L 6 (79)
mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your thoughts	W 45 L 7 (79)
8. For this kind of practice only one thing is	W 45 L 8 (79)
attempt to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. 9. In	W 45 L 8 (79)
you to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with	W 45 L 9 (79)
all thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are	W 45 L 9 (80)
Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is	W 46 L 1 (81)
because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are	W 46 L 1 (81)
Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns and love	W 46 L 2 (81)
the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness	W 46 L 2 (81)
difficulty in finding a number of people you have not forgiven	W 46 L 4 (81)
5. The purpose of the first phase of today	W 46 L 5 (81)
purpose of the first phase of todays practice is to	W 46 L 5 (81)
Then devote the remainder of the practice period to offering	W 46 L 5 (82)
6. The form of the applications may vary considerably	W 46 L 6 (82)
should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example	W 46 L 6 (82)
because I am a Son of God. I have already been	W 46 L 6 (82)
possible in a mind beloved of God. There is no need	W 46 L 6 (82)
end, however, with a repetition of todays idea as originally	W 46 L 6 (82)
shorter applications may consist either of a repetition of the idea	W 46 L 7 (82)
consist either of a repetition of the idea in the original	W 46 L 7 (82)
day when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction	W 46 L 7 (82)
become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present	W 46 L 7 (82)
the ability to be aware of all the facets of any	W 47 L 1 (83)
aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve	W 47 L 1 (83)
that only good can come of it? What is there in	W 47 L 1 (83)
that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the	W 47 L 1 (83)
be accomplished? 2. Of yourself you can do none	W 47 L 2 (83)
yourself you can do none of these things. To believe that	W 47 L 2 (83)
situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly	W 47 L 3 (83)
own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four five-minute practice	W 47 L 4 (83)
related to your own sense of inadequacy. It is obvious that	W 47 L 5 (83)
concern is associated with feelings of inadequacy, since otherwise you would	W 47 L 5 (83)
gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful	W 47 L 5 (84)
6. The recognition of your own frailty is a	W 47 L 6 (84)
necessary step in the correction of your errors. But it is	W 47 L 6 (84)
In the latter phase of the practice period, try to	W 47 L 7 (84)
your mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize	W 47 L 7 (84)
and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down	W 47 L 7 (84)
below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place	W 47 L 7 (84)
in you where the strength of God abides. 8.	W 47 L 7 (84)
your trust to the strength of God. ---	W 47 L 8 (84)
should anything disturb your peace of mind. 3. The	W 48 L 2 (85)
3. The presence of fear is a sure sign	W 48 L 3 (85)
His strength take the place of yours. The instant you are	W 48 L 3 (85)
in any way. The part of your mind in which truth	W 49 L 1 (86)
God, whether you are aware of it or not. It is	W 49 L 1 (86)
It is the other part of your mind that functions in	W 49 L 1 (86)
is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at	W 49 L 2 (86)
and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try today not	W 49 L 2 (86)
to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and	W 49 L 2 (86)
hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self	W 49 L 3 (86)
reminding you of God and of your Self. We will approach	W 49 L 3 (86)
approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, knowing that	W 49 L 3 (86)
our will with the Will of God. He wants you to	W 49 L 3 (86)
thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world. You do	W 49 L 4 (86)
am sustained by the Love of God. 1	W 50 L 0 (88)
people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness which you	W 50 L 1 (88)
an endless list of forms of nothingness which you endow with	W 50 L 1 (88)
your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are	W 50 L 2 (88)
body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego. Do	W 50 L 2 (88)
3. Only the Love of God will protect you in	W 50 L 3 (88)
It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you	W 50 L 3 (88)
above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate	W 50 L 3 (88)
this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It	W 50 L 3 (88)
transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten	W 50 L 3 (88)
intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.	W 50 L 3 (88)
eternal calm of the Son of God. 4. Put	W 50 L 3 (88)
your faith in the Love of God within you, eternal, changeless	W 50 L 4 (88)
you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can	W 50 L 4 (88)
today. It is a declaration of release from the belief in	W 50 L 4 (88)
idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.	W 50 L 4 (88)
over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no	W 50 L 5 (88)
disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such	W 50 L 5 (89)
holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom	W 50 L 5 (89)
God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting-place	W 50 L 5 (89)
we will have a series of review periods. Each of them	W 51 RI 1 (90)
series of review periods. Each of them will cover five of	W 51 RI 1 (90)
of them will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting	W 51 RI 1 (90)
be short comments after each of the ideas, which you should	W 51 RI 1 (90)
the day. If any one of the five ideas appeals to	W 51 RI 2 (90)
that one. At the end of the day, however, be sure	W 51 RI 2 (90)
be sure to review all of them once more. 3	W 51 RI 2 (90)
think about it as part of your review of the idea	W 51 RI 3 (90)
as part of your review of the idea to which it	W 51 RI 3 (90)
for reviews at your stage of learning. It will be necessary	W 51 RI 4 (90)
calm and quiet. The purpose of your learning is to enable	W 51 RI 4 (90)
them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. 5	W 51 RI 4 (90)
learn that peace is part of you, and requires only that	W 51 RI 5 (90)
in quite their original form of statement. Use them as they	W 51 RI 6 (91)
relationships among the first fifty of the ideas we have covered	W 51 RI 6 (91)
have covered, and the cohesiveness of the thought system to which	W 51 RI 6 (91)
now is taking the place of vision. I must let it	W 51 RI 1 (92)
It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have	W 51 RI 2 (92)
willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because	W 51 RI 2 (92)
I see is the projection of my own errors of thought	W 51 RI 3 (92)
projection of my own errors of thought. I do not understand	W 51 RI 3 (92)
not mean anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do	W 51 RI 4 (92)
God. I am not aware of them because I have made	W 51 RI 4 (92)
any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset	W 52 RI 1 (94)
it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What	W 52 RI 5 (95)
Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its	W 52 RI 5 (95)
part of creation and part of its Creator. Would I not	W 52 RI 5 (95)
not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure	W 52 RI 5 (95)
meaningless world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do	W 53 RI 1 (96)
have given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from	W 53 RI 3 (96)
will escape all the effects of the world of fear because	W 53 RI 3 (96)
the effects of the world of fear because I am acknowledging	W 53 RI 3 (96)
it? He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that	W 53 RI 4 (97)
to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts, when	W 53 RI 4 (97)
insane thoughts, when the perfection of creation is my hone? Let	W 53 RI 4 (97)
Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where	W 53 RI 4 (97)
am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am	W 53 RI 5 (97)
the world as the representation of my own state of mind	W 54 RI 2 (98)
representation of my own state of mind. I know that my	W 54 RI 2 (98)
I know that my state of mind can change. And so	W 54 RI 2 (98)
alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. If I have	W 54 RI 3 (98)
world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared	W 54 RI 3 (98)
it could form the basis of the world I see. Yet	W 54 RI 3 (98)
that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also call	W 54 RI 3 (98)
with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the separation	W 54 RI 3 (98)
call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts	W 54 RI 3 (98)
alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone	W 54 RI 4 (98)
all the universe. A Son of God cannot think or speak	W 54 RI 4 (98)
for mine is the power of God. ---	W 54 RI 4 (98)
see. Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined	W 54 RI 5 (99)
that show me the thinking of the world has been changed	W 54 RI 5 (99)
my will and the Will of God are one.	W 54 RI 5 (99)
see now are but signs of disease, disaster and death. This	W 55 RI 1 (100)
which show me an illusion of myself. 2. 22	W 55 RI 1 (100)
I see is a form of vengeance. The world I see	W 55 RI 2 (100)
see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a	W 55 RI 2 (100)
thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything and by	W 55 RI 2 (100)
is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and	W 55 RI 2 (100)
a reflection of the Love of God and the love of	W 55 RI 2 (100)
of God and the love of His Son. It is my	W 55 RI 2 (100)
save me from this perception of the world, and give me	W 55 RI 2 (100)
could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love	W 55 RI 3 (100)
I will see a world of peace and safety and Joy	W 55 RI 3 (100)
choose to see, in place of what I look on now	W 55 RI 3 (100)
me closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to	W 55 RI 4 (100)
for. To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that	W 55 RI 5 (101)
lead to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my	W 55 RI 5 (101)
to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control	W 56 RI 1 (102)
attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have made	W 56 RI 2 (102)
that I let this image of myself go. As it is	W 56 RI 2 (102)
world that reflects the Love of God. 4. 29	W 56 RI 3 (102)
have drawn across the face of love, its light remains undimmed	W 56 RI 4 (102)
will united with the Will of my Father. God is still	W 56 RI 4 (102)
And we who are part of Him will yet look past	W 56 RI 4 (102)
behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the	W 56 RI 5 (103)
have not lost the knowledge of who I am because I	W 56 RI 5 (103)
for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left	W 56 RI 5 (103)
I am not the victim of the world I see. How	W 57 RI 1 (104)
can I be the victim of a world which can be	W 57 RI 1 (104)
possible to imprison the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken	W 57 RI 2 (104)
no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free	W 57 RI 2 (104)
not what I would make of him. He is where God	W 57 RI 2 (104)
33) There is another way of looking at the world. Since	W 57 RI 3 (104)
the world. Since the purpose of the world is not the	W 57 RI 3 (104)
there must be another way of looking at it. I see	W 57 RI 3 (104)
my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world	W 57 RI 3 (104)
a place where the Son of God finds his freedom.	W 57 RI 3 (104)
I could see peace instead of this. When I see the	W 57 RI 4 (104)
the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that	W 57 RI 4 (104)
that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules	W 57 RI 4 (104)
the laws of God instead of the rules which I made	W 57 RI 4 (104)
also abides in the hearts of all who share this place	W 57 RI 4 (104)
35) My mind is part of Gods. I am very	W 57 RI 5 (105)
As I share the peace of the world with my brothers	W 57 RI 5 (105)
has taken on the light of my forgiveness, and shines forgiveness	W 57 RI 5 (105)
begin to understand the holiness of all living things including myself	W 57 RI 5 (105)
my holiness does the perception of the real world come. Having	W 58 RI 1 (106)
through understanding eyes the holiness of the world is all I	W 58 RI 1 (106)
blesses the world. The perception of my holiness does not bless	W 58 RI 2 (106)
holiness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth for	W 58 RI 2 (106)
about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share	W 58 RI 3 (106)
is also recognizing the salvation of the world. Once I have	W 58 RI 4 (106)
understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to	W 58 RI 4 (106)
am blessed as a Son of God. Herein lies my claim	W 58 RI 5 (107)
am blessed as a Son of God. All good things are	W 58 RI 5 (107)
or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My Father	W 58 RI 5 (107)
I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides	W 59 RI 1 (108)
to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that	W 59 RI 2 (108)
s eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me	W 59 RI 3 (108)
apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are	W 59 RI 5 (109)
innocence. It is the reflection of Gods Love on earth	W 60 RI 1 (110)
to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to	W 60 RI 1 (110)
It is through the strength of God in me, which I	W 60 RI 2 (110)
because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And	W 60 RI 2 (110)
am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to	W 60 RI 5 (111)
61. I am the light of the world.	W 61 L 0 (112)
Who is the light of the world except Gods	W 61 L 1 (112)
then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It	W 61 L 1 (112)
yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of	W 61 L 1 (112)
the opposite of a statement of pride, of arrogance, or of	W 61 L 1 (112)
of a statement of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception. It	W 61 L 1 (112)
of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception. It does not describe	W 61 L 1 (112)
does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you	W 61 L 1 (112)
s idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does	W 61 L 2 (112)
for self- debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation	W 61 L 2 (112)
you cannot be the light of the world, if that is	W 61 L 2 (112)
you, and arrogance is always of the ego. 3.	W 61 L 2 (112)
It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved	W 61 L 3 (112)
be saved, and an acknowledgment of the power that is given	W 61 L 3 (112)
in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose. 5.	W 61 L 4 (112)
I am the light of the world. That is my	W 61 L 5 (113)
will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself, reinforce	W 61 L 6 (113)
the egos petty views of what you are and what	W 61 L 7 (113)
purpose is. As a bringer of salvation, this is obviously necessary	W 61 L 7 (113)
necessary. This is the first of a number of giant steps	W 61 L 7 (113)
the first of a number of giant steps we will take	W 61 L 7 (113)
advances. You are the light of the world. God has built	W 61 L 7 (113)
His plan for the salvation of His Son on you.	W 61 L 7 (113)
my function as the light of the world.	W 62 L 0 (114)
that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It	W 62 L 1 (114)
that you are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness	W 62 L 1 (114)
by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of	W 62 L 2 (114)
of life may replace thoughts of death. 3. Remember	W 62 L 2 (114)
you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you	W 62 L 3 (114)
It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from	W 62 L 3 (114)
my function as the light of the world. I would fulfill	W 62 L 5 (114)
Lesson 63. The light of the world brings peace to	W 63 L 0 (116)
You are indeed the light of the world with such a	W 63 L 2 (116)
such a function. The Son of God looks to you for	W 63 L 2 (116)
function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is	W 63 L 2 (116)
request that is being asked of you. You are asked to	W 63 L 2 (116)
3. Recognizing the importance of this function, we will be	W 63 L 3 (116)
the day with the thought of it in our awareness. And	W 63 L 3 (116)
as we can: The light of the world brings peace to	W 63 L 3 (116)
has appointed for the salvation of the world. 4.	W 63 L 3 (116)
idea is merely another way of saying, Let me not wander	W 64 L 1 (117)
wander into temptation. The purpose of the world you see is	W 64 L 1 (117)
is to obscure your function of forgiveness, and provide you with	W 64 L 1 (117)
be anything but a form of temptation, since this was the	W 64 L 2 (117)
since this was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we	W 64 L 2 (117)
forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this	W 64 L 2 (117)
this perception, the physical appearance of temptation becomes the spiritual recognition	W 64 L 2 (117)
temptation becomes the spiritual recognition of salvation. 3. To	W 64 L 2 (117)
is to be the light of the world, a function given	W 64 L 3 (117)
It is only the arrogance of the ego which leads you	W 64 L 3 (117)
this, and only the tear of the ego which induces you	W 64 L 3 (117)
to regard yourself as unworthy of the task assigned to you	W 64 L 3 (117)
through it does the Son of God escape from all illusions	W 64 L 3 (117)
from all temptation. The Son of God is you. 4	W 64 L 3 (117)
today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning and	W 64 L 5 (117)
Let not the form of the decision deceive you. Complexity	W 64 L 6 (118)
the decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity	W 64 L 6 (118)
form does not imply complexity of content. It is impossible that	W 64 L 6 (118)
you remember the crucial importance of your function to you and	W 64 L 7 (118)
In the frequent applications of todays idea to be	W 64 L 8 (118)
9. Two forms of the shorter practice periods are	W 64 L 9 (118)
other function than this. Both of these thoughts are obviously necessary	W 65 L 1 (119)
cherish others. The full acceptance of salvation as your only function	W 65 L 1 (119)
entails two phases; the recognition of salvation as your function, and	W 65 L 1 (119)
your function, and the relinquishment of all the other goals you	W 65 L 1 (119)
rightful place among the Saviors of the world. This is the	W 65 L 2 (119)
which you can find peace of mind. 3. Today	W 65 L 2 (119)
Today, and for a number of days to follow, set aside	W 65 L 3 (119)
closely as possible. The purpose of this is to arrange your	W 65 L 4 (119)
will pursue. This is part of the long range disciplinary training	W 65 L 4 (119)
attempting to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped	W 65 L 6 (120)
try to get a sense of being willing to have your	W 65 L 6 (120)
willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced by truth	W 65 L 6 (120)
more and devote the rest of the practice period to trying	W 65 L 7 (120)
really want salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to	W 65 L 7 (120)
Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So	W 66 L 2 (121)
as its purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only	W 66 L 4 (121)
happiness. This could be false, of course, but in order to	W 66 L 6 (122)
And it is this definition of Him which you are believing	W 66 L 6 (122)
there are only two parts of your mind. One is ruled	W 66 L 7 (122)
ego, and is made up of illusions. The other is the	W 66 L 7 (122)
The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where truth	W 66 L 7 (122)
outcomes possible as a result of your choice but the fear	W 66 L 7 (122)
it must be the gift of the ego. Does the ego	W 66 L 8 (122)
and offering only the illusion of gifts? 9. Think	W 66 L 8 (122)
many forms which the illusion of your function has taken in	W 66 L 9 (122)
giant stride in the perception of the same as the same	W 66 L 11 (123)
twice an hour, this form of the application is suggested: My	W 66 L 12 (123)
a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is	W 67 L 1 (124)
why you are the light of the world. This is why	W 67 L 1 (124)
This is why the Son of God looks to you for	W 67 L 1 (124)
today to undo your definition of God and replace it with	W 67 L 2 (124)
emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.	W 67 L 2 (124)
are part of His definition of Himself. 3. After	W 67 L 2 (124)
that, and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of	W 67 L 4 (124)
of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing	W 67 L 4 (124)
Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your	W 67 L 6 (125)
you of your Father and of your Self. This is the	W 67 L 6 (125)
Self. This is the Voice of truth, replacing everything that the	W 67 L 6 (125)
simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by	W 67 L 6 (125)
become, for no-one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself	W 68 L 1 (126)
your Self, Who remains aware of His likeness to His Creator	W 68 L 2 (126)
to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves illusions	W 68 L 2 (126)
to him in his dreams of hate. Who can dream of	W 68 L 2 (126)
of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not fear God	W 68 L 2 (126)
and defined them as part of Him. It is as sure	W 68 L 3 (126)
however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we will try	W 68 L 4 (126)
regard as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy	W 68 L 5 (127)
easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you	W 68 L 5 (127)
you do not cherish grievances of some sort. This has left	W 68 L 5 (127)
the universe in your perception of yourself. 6. Determine	W 68 L 5 (127)
to them all, collectively, thinking of each one in turn as	W 68 L 6 (127)
may remember you are part of me, and come to know	W 68 L 6 (127)
know myself. Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to	W 68 L 6 (127)
practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace	W 68 L 6 (127)
any way. At the end of the practice period tell yourself	W 68 L 7 (127)
should include a quick application of todays ideas in this	W 68 L 8 (127)
this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically	W 68 L 8 (127)
My grievances hide the light of the world in me.	W 69 L 0 (128)
grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone	W 69 L 1 (128)
him. But as the veil of your grievances is lifted, you	W 69 L 1 (128)
your brother in the light of the world which saves you	W 69 L 1 (128)
in touch with the salvation of the world. We are trying	W 69 L 2 (128)
to see past the veil of darkness that keeps it concealed	W 69 L 2 (128)
lifted, and see the tears of Gods Son disappear in	W 69 L 2 (128)
today with the full realization of all this, and real determination	W 69 L 3 (128)
occupies your consciousness go. Think of your mind as a vast	W 69 L 4 (128)
area, surrounded by a layer of heavy dark clouds. You can	W 69 L 4 (128)
W(129) of their lack of substance. We	W 69 L 4 (129)
of their lack of substance. We will make this	W 69 L 4 (129)
have thought about the importance of what you are trying to	W 69 L 5 (129)
begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried	W 69 L 6 (129)
determination call on the power of the universe to help you	W 69 L 6 (129)
succeed. Then let the power of God work in you and	W 69 L 7 (129)
often as possible in view of the importance of todays	W 69 L 8 (129)
in view of the importance of todays idea to you	W 69 L 8 (129)
grievances are hiding the light of the world from your awareness	W 69 L 8 (129)
My grievances hide the light of the world in me. I	W 69 L 8 (129)
my salvation and the salvation of the world.	W 69 L 8 (129)
hold this grievance, the light of the world will be hidden	W 69 L 8 (130)
nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to	W 70 L 1 (131)
So, too, does the source of guilt. You see neither guilt	W 70 L 1 (131)
guilt is solely an invention of your mind, you must also	W 70 L 1 (131)
2. The seeming cost of accepting todays idea is	W 70 L 2 (131)
idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong	W 70 L 2 (131)
universe, where you belong because of who you are. 3	W 70 L 2 (131)
He has kept the Source of healing where the need for	W 70 L 3 (131)
longer practice periods today, each of which should last some ten	W 70 L 5 (132)
this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again	W 70 L 5 (132)
to lay aside for each of them, and adhere to your	W 70 L 5 (132)
salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it	W 70 L 6 (132)
eyes closed, to reviewing some of the external places where you	W 70 L 6 (132)
salvation cannot come from any of these things. My salvation comes	W 70 L 6 (132)
8. Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, surely	W 70 L 8 (133)
walk on into the light of real salvation. Try to pass	W 70 L 8 (133)
If it helps you, think of me holding your hand and	W 70 L 8 (133)
interference. You are in charge of your salvation. You are in	W 70 L 9 (133)
salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world	W 70 L 9 (133)
in charge of the salvation of the world. Say, then: My	W 70 L 9 (133)
comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back	W 70 L 9 (133)
Since it is the opposite of Gods, you also believe	W 71 L 1 (134)
Gods plan in place of the egos is to	W 71 L 1 (134)
be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after we have	W 71 L 1 (134)
be saved. Thus the source of salvation is constantly perceived as	W 71 L 2 (134)
would be saved. The change of mind that is necessary for	W 71 L 2 (134)
for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself	W 71 L 2 (134)
insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that	W 71 L 3 (134)
misery, and a deep sense of failure and despair. 6	W 71 L 5 (135)
Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail	W 71 L 6 (135)
let us devote the remainder of the extended practice period to	W 71 L 8 (135)
whom? Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice	W 71 L 8 (135)
full charge of the rest of the practice period, and let	W 71 L 8 (135)
to them with this form of todays idea: Holding grievances	W 71 L 9 (136)
Holding grievances is the opposite of Gods plan for salvation	W 71 L 9 (136)
than to remember the Source of your salvation, and to see	W 71 L 9 (136)
for salvation is the opposite of Gods, we have not	W 72 L 1 (137)
to take on the attributes of God. 2. The	W 72 L 1 (137)
ego is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it is	W 72 L 2 (137)
let us consider the kinds of things which you are apt	W 72 L 3 (137)
present Himself as the Author of life and not of death	W 72 L 5 (137)
Author of life and not of death, He is a liar	W 72 L 5 (137)
liar and a deceiver, full of false promises, and offering illusions	W 72 L 5 (137)
and offering illusions in place of truth. ---	W 72 L 5 (137)
apparent reality makes this view of God quite convincing. In fact	W 72 L 5 (138)
not let yourself be deprived of what the body offers. Take	W 72 L 6 (138)
savior. It is the death of God and your salvation. This	W 72 L 6 (138)
This is the universal belief of the world you see.	W 72 L 6 (138)
it stands at the center of your concept of yourself, you	W 72 L 7 (138)
the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God	W 72 L 7 (138)
may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome it as	W 72 L 7 (138)
been ruinous to our peace of mind. We have seen ourselves	W 72 L 8 (138)
see this differently. The light of truth is in us, where	W 72 L 8 (138)
state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to	W 72 L 8 (138)
it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that	W 72 L 11 (139)
answer will be true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you	W 72 L 11 (139)
confidence wane and your hope of success flicker and go out	W 72 L 11 (139)
that you are asking them of the infinite Creator of infinity	W 72 L 11 (139)
them of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who created you like	W 72 L 11 (139)
egos idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise	W 73 L 1 (141)
God has all the power of creation in it. The ego	W 73 L 1 (141)
they can make a world of illusions in which your belief	W 73 L 1 (141)
are idle indeed in terms of creation. They make nothing that	W 73 L 1 (141)
world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to	W 73 L 2 (141)
by the will the Son of God shares with his Father	W 73 L 3 (141)
Son? Creation is the will of both together. Would God create	W 73 L 3 (141)
does not oppose the Will of God. It is not Heaven	W 73 L 4 (141)
not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it. Darkness	W 73 L 4 (141)
5. Your picture of the world can only mirror	W 73 L 5 (141)
what is within. The source of neither light nor darkness can	W 73 L 5 (141)
142) a world of light. 6. We	W 73 L 5 (142)
repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is easily past, and	W 73 L 6 (142)
deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your will	W 73 L 8 (142)
it is hell in place of Heaven that you choose.	W 73 L 8 (142)
It is not the purpose of an alien power, thrust upon	W 73 L 9 (142)
time appointed for the release of the Son of God from	W 73 L 9 (143)
the release of the Son of God from hell and from	W 73 L 9 (143)
10. After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep	W 73 L 10 (143)
itself, joined with the power of God and united with your	W 73 L 10 (143)
your Self. Put the rest of the practice period under Their	W 73 L 10 (143)
periods, again make a declaration of what you really want. Say	W 73 L 11 (143)
tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. This will help	W 73 L 11 (143)
let your grievances go, instead of cherishing them and hiding them	W 73 L 11 (143)
conflicting goals. As an expression of the Will of God, you	W 74 L 1 (144)
an expression of the Will of God, you have no goal	W 74 L 1 (144)
will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness	W 74 L 5 (145)
alertness, rather than a feeling of drowsiness and enervation. Joy characterizes	W 74 L 5 (145)
ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark	W 75 L 1 (146)
2. Today the time of light begins for you and	W 75 L 2 (146)
offer thanks for the passing of the old and the beginning	W 75 L 2 (146)
the old and the beginning of the new. No shadows from	W 75 L 2 (146)
telling yourself the glad tidings of your release: The light has	W 75 L 5 (146)
a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean	W 75 L 5 (147)
all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made	W 75 L 5 (147)
fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe	W 75 L 6 (147)
in which is the end of time ensured. 8.	W 75 L 7 (147)
too, will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind yourself every	W 75 L 8 (147)
release. Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that	W 75 L 8 (147)
for mercy and the Love of God. Rejoice in the power	W 75 L 8 (147)
God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight	W 75 L 8 (147)
new beginning. Without the darkness of the past upon your eyes	W 75 L 8 (147)
Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere	W 75 L 9 (148)
as we celebrate the beginning of your vision, and the sight	W 75 L 9 (148)
your vision, and the sight of the real world which has	W 75 L 9 (148)
else. 3. Think of the freedom in the recognition	W 76 L 3 (149)
starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles	W 76 L 3 (149)
green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You really think	W 76 L 3 (149)
names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use	W 76 L 4 (149)
you must obey the laws of medicine, of economics, and of	W 76 L 4 (149)
obey the laws of medicine, of economics, and of health. Protect	W 76 L 4 (149)
of medicine, of economics, and of health. Protect the body and	W 76 L 4 (149)
see it is the victim of itself. The bodys suffering	W 76 L 5 (149)
no laws except the laws of God. This needs repeating, -	W 76 L 6 (150)
7. The laws of God can never be replaced	W 76 L 7 (150)
Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The light	W 76 L 7 (150)
today with a short review of the different kinds of laws	W 76 L 8 (150)
review of the different kinds of laws we have believed we	W 76 L 8 (150)
include, for example, the laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication	W 76 L 8 (150)
example, the laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and of	W 76 L 8 (150)
laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and of the body	W 76 L 8 (150)
of immunization, of medication, and of the bodys protection in	W 76 L 8 (150)
further; you believe in laws of friendship, of good relationships and	W 76 L 8 (150)
believe in laws of friendship, of good relationships and reciprocity.	W 76 L 8 (150)
no loss under the laws of God. Payment is neither given	W 76 L 10 (150)
increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as well	W 76 L 12 (151)
to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which	W 76 L 12 (151)
well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep	W 76 L 12 (151)
day. It is our statement of freedom from all danger and	W 76 L 13 (151)
are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You will	W 77 L 1 (152)
You will receive miracles because of what God is. And you	W 77 L 1 (152)
It is merely a statement of your true identity. It is	W 77 L 1 (152)
to yourself, nor on any of the rituals you have devised	W 77 L 2 (152)
is inherent in the truth of what you are. It is	W 77 L 2 (152)
and guaranteed by the laws of God. 3. Today	W 77 L 2 (152)
been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you, and	W 77 L 3 (152)
you are upholding the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey	W 77 L 4 (152)
do not obey the laws of this world. They merely follow	W 77 L 4 (152)
merely follow from the laws of God. 5. After	W 77 L 4 (152)
have asked for the salvation of the world and for your	W 77 L 5 (152)
but asking that the Will of God be done. 6	W 77 L 5 (152)
answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You will	W 77 L 6 (153)
be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself	W 77 L 7 (153)
stands like a dark shield of hate before the miracle it	W 78 L 1 (154)
not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down	W 78 L 2 (154)
silence, to behold the Son of God. 3. He	W 78 L 2 (154)
lifts, you see the Son of God where he has always	W 78 L 3 (154)
grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we	W 78 L 3 (154)
He will be the one of whom we ask Gods	W 78 L 5 (154)
well, as we will think of his mistakes and even of	W 78 L 6 (155)
of his mistakes and even of his sins. 7.	W 78 L 6 (155)
Then let us ask of Him who knows this Son	W 78 L 7 (155)
Him who knows this Son of God in his reality and	W 78 L 7 (155)
Savior shining in the light of true forgiveness, given unto us	W 78 L 7 (155)
Him in the Holy Name of God and of His Son	W 78 L 7 (155)
Holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as	W 78 L 7 (155)
closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let	W 78 L 7 (155)
dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the	W 78 L 8 (155)
and looked upon the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed	W 78 L 9 (156)
you, for not one Thought of God but must rejoice as	W 78 L 9 (156)
assigned to us as part of Gods salvation plan, and	W 78 L 10 (156)
to the ones you think of, or remember from the past	W 78 L 10 (156)
the past, allow the role of Savior to be given, that	W 78 L 10 (156)
solved. This is the situation of the world. The problem of	W 79 L 1 (157)
of the world. The problem of separation, which is really the	W 79 L 1 (157)
problem is. A long series of different problems seem to confront	W 79 L 3 (157)
which you feel completely free of problems, and at peace.	W 79 L 3 (157)
temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. The world seems	W 79 L 4 (157)
you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different	W 79 L 4 (157)
remain unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt	W 79 L 5 (157)
try to free our minds of all the many different kinds	W 79 L 7 (158)
all the many different kinds of problems that we think we	W 79 L 7 (158)
some doubt about the reality of our version of what our	W 79 L 8 (158)
the reality of our version of what our problems are. We	W 79 L 8 (158)
not deceived by the form of problems today. Whenever any difficulty	W 79 L 10 (159)
aside, and seen the light of truth. You have accepted salvation	W 80 L 2 (160)
Recognize that you are out of conflict, free and at peace	W 80 L 5 (161)
in this that the simplicity of salvation lies. It is because	W 80 L 5 (161)
salvation lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed	W 80 L 5 (161)
be determined to be free of problems that do not exist	W 80 L 6 (161)
each day. The earlier part of the day will be devoted	W 81 RII 1 (162)
will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter	W 81 RII 1 (162)
ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other	W 81 RII 1 (162)
in which we practice each of them. 2. The	W 81 RII 1 (162)
about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking	W 81 RII 2 (162)
to spend the major part of the practice period listening quietly	W 81 RII 2 (162)
to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever	W 81 RII 3 (162)
into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to	W 81 RII 4 (162)
and using the original form of the idea for general application	W 81 RII 5 (162)
61. I am the light of the world. 2.	W 81 RII 1 (164)
have been given the function of lighting up the world! Let	W 81 RII 2 (164)
me not obscure the light of the world in me. Let	W 81 RII 3 (164)
in me. Let the light of the world shine through this	W 81 RII 3 (164)
my function as the light of the world. 5.	W 81 RII 4 (164)
1. 63. The light of the world brings peace to	W 82 RII 1 (165)
means by which the light of the world finds expression through	W 82 RII 2 (165)
by which I become aware of the light of the world	W 82 RII 2 (165)
become aware of the light of the world in me. My	W 82 RII 2 (165)
name) I share the light of the world with you, (name	W 82 RII 3 (165)
4. Suitable specific forms of this idea include: Let me	W 82 RII 4 (165)
3. More specific applications of this idea might take these	W 83 RII 3 (166)
take these forms: My perception of this does not change my	W 83 RII 3 (166)
useful forms for specific applications of this idea are: This cannot	W 83 RII 6 (166)
from my function. The oneness of my happiness and my function	W 83 RII 6 (166)
this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function	W 83 RII 6 (166)
I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer	W 84 RII 2 (167)
I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me	W 84 RII 2 (167)
me not see an illusion of myself in this. As I	W 84 RII 3 (167)
My grievances hide the light of the world in me.	W 85 RII 1 (168)
3. Specific applications of this idea might be made	W 85 RII 3 (168)
block to sight. The light of the world will shine all	W 85 RII 3 (168)
6. These forms of the idea are suitable for	W 85 RII 6 (168)
this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation	W 85 RII 6 (168)
my awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no	W 85 RII 6 (168)
save me from my perception of this. This is no exception	W 86 RII 3 (169)
this only in the light of Gods plan for salvation	W 86 RII 3 (169)
excluding my own only hope of salvation from my awareness. I	W 86 RII 5 (169)
6. Specific applications of this idea might be in	W 86 RII 6 (169)
I will use the power of my will today. It is	W 87 RII 2 (170)
grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things	W 87 RII 2 (170)
fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light	W 87 RII 2 (170)
I will experience the peace of true perception. 3.	W 87 RII 2 (170)
3. These forms of this idea would be helpful	W 87 RII 3 (170)
These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applications	W 87 RII 5 (170)
in accordance with the Will of God. It is Gods	W 87 RII 5 (170)
as well. This is part of Gods Will for me	W 87 RII 5 (170)
useful forms for specific applications of this idea: This cannot show	W 88 RII 3 (171)
Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under	W 88 RII 5 (171)
me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They	W 88 RII 5 (171)
all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws	W 88 RII 5 (171)
perfectly free of the effects of all laws save Gods	W 88 RII 5 (171)
And His are the laws of freedom. 6. For	W 88 RII 5 (171)
would be useful: My perception of this shows me I believe	W 88 RII 6 (171)
I see only the laws of God at work in this	W 88 RII 6 (171)
accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but	W 89 RII 2 (172)
accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have	W 89 RII 2 (172)
may use it on behalf of the function He has given	W 89 RII 2 (172)
these suggestions for specific applications of this idea: Behind this is	W 89 RII 3 (172)
no substitutes. I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as	W 89 RII 5 (172)
problem is always some form of grievance which I would cherish	W 90 RII 2 (173)
I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson	W 90 RII 2 (173)
to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome	W 90 RII 2 (173)
the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle which takes its	W 90 RII 2 (173)
3. Specific applications of this idea might be in	W 90 RII 3 (173)
6. These forms of the idea will be useful	W 90 RII 6 (173)
absence is not the result of your failure to see. It	W 91 L 1 (174)
It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You	W 91 L 1 (174)
which the darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to	W 91 L 2 (174)
you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea	W 91 L 2 (174)
the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless. 3.	W 91 L 2 (174)
doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap into	W 91 L 4 (174)
practice periods with this statement of true cause and effect relationships	W 91 L 6 (175)
being a mistake. The truth of what you are calls on	W 91 L 6 (175)
You need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses	W 91 L 7 (175)
uses to replace the image of a body in your mind	W 91 L 7 (175)
You need a real experience of something else, something more solid	W 91 L 7 (175)
and more sure; more worthy of your faith, and really there	W 91 L 7 (175)
In the second phase of the exercise period, try to	W 91 L 9 (176)
Concentrate particularly on the experience of strength. Remember that all sense	W 91 L 9 (176)
strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the	W 91 L 9 (176)
Relax for the rest of the practice period, confident that	W 91 L 10 (176)
fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts	W 91 L 10 (176)
not close my eyes because of this. ---	W 91 L 11 (176)
for today is an extension of the previous one. You do	W 92 L 1 (177)
one. You do not think of light in terms of strength	W 92 L 1 (177)
think of light in terms of strength and darkness in terms	W 92 L 1 (177)
strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your	W 92 L 1 (177)
That is because your idea of what seeing means is tied	W 92 L 1 (177)
see by keeping little bits of glass or other clear material	W 92 L 1 (177)
you but understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh	W 92 L 2 (177)
darkness to behold the likeness of itself; the small, the weak	W 92 L 3 (177)
them. It united with light, of which it is a part	W 92 L 4 (177)
it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick	W 92 L 5 (178)
7. The light of strength is not the light	W 92 L 7 (178)
morning comes again. The light of strength is constant, sure as	W 92 L 7 (178)
rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self	W 92 L 8 (179)
light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave	W 92 L 9 (179)
to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light	W 92 L 9 (179)
think you are the home of evil, darkness and sin. You	W 93 L 1 (180)
been deceived, deceiving and afraid of foolish fantasies and savage dreams	W 93 L 2 (180)
bowed down to idols made of dust; all this is true	W 93 L 2 (180)
this, not from the point of view of what you think	W 93 L 3 (180)
from the point of view of what you think, but from	W 93 L 3 (180)
abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will	W 93 L 4 (180)
yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You think that this	W 93 L 4 (180)
made is not the Son of God. Therefore this self does	W 93 L 5 (180)
not battle with the Son of God. It does not hurt	W 93 L 5 (180)
it would contradict the Will of God? ---	W 93 L 5 (180)
you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness	W 93 L 6 (181)
Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought; you are	W 93 L 7 (181)
you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may	W 93 L 7 (181)
for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we will	W 93 L 8 (181)
self-images, and spend the rest of the practice period in trying	W 93 L 8 (181)
has given you, in place of what you have decreed for	W 93 L 8 (181)
Try to experience the unity of your One Self. Try to	W 93 L 9 (181)
majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have	W 93 L 9 (181)
use the first five minutes of each hour for these exercises	W 93 L 10 (182)
that this is a statement of the truth about you.	W 93 L 10 (182)
disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts	W 93 L 11 (182)
statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought	W 94 L 1 (183)
God created you. The sounds of this world are still, the	W 94 L 1 (183)
world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all	W 94 L 1 (183)
sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well	W 94 L 2 (183)
Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You	W 94 L 2 (183)
the glory of the Son of God. You stand in light	W 94 L 2 (183)
devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the	W 94 L 3 (183)
in you. Begin these times of searching with these words: I	W 94 L 3 (183)
try to reach the Son of God in you. This is	W 94 L 3 (183)
no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death	W 94 L 3 (183)
4. Nothing is required of you to reach this goal	W 94 L 4 (183)
go past the long list of attributes, both good and bad	W 94 L 4 (183)
do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first five	W 94 L 5 (184)
for the first five minutes of every hour, at least remind	W 94 L 5 (184)
Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity	W 95 L 1 (185)
yourself as a ridiculous parody of Gods creation, weak, vicious	W 95 L 2 (185)
pain. Such is your version of your self; a self divided	W 95 L 2 (185)
understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless	W 95 L 2 (185)
today to be aware only of what can hear and see	W 95 L 3 (185)
try again today. The use of the first 5 minutes of	W 95 L 3 (185)
of the first 5 minutes of every waking hour for practicing	W 95 L 3 (185)
special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are	W 95 L 3 (185)
You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline	W 95 L 4 (185)
the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your	W 95 L 4 (185)
lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training	W 95 L 4 (185)
necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed	W 95 L 4 (185)
that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend	W 95 L 5 (185)
about it for long periods of time. You often fail to	W 95 L 5 (185)
the short applications of the idea for the day	W 95 L 5 (186)
not yet formed the habit of using it as an automatic	W 95 L 5 (186)
planned to include frequent reminders of your goal, and regular attempts	W 95 L 6 (186)
reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal	W 95 L 6 (186)
for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is	W 95 L 6 (186)
Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly	W 95 L 7 (186)
to comply with the requirements of this course you have merely	W 95 L 10 (186)
at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power	W 95 L 11 (187)
At one with every aspect of creation, And limitless in power	W 95 L 11 (187)
attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into	W 95 L 12 (187)
one goal; to bring awareness of this Oneness to all minds	W 95 L 12 (187)
the Allness and the Unity of God. 13. You	W 95 L 12 (187)
power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and	W 95 L 13 (187)
One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers	W 95 L 13 (187)
is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its	W 95 L 14 (188)
cast all your illusions out of the One Mind Which is	W 95 L 14 (188)
so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the	W 95 L 16 (188)
voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind	W 95 L 16 (188)
his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your	W 95 L 16 (188)
gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own acknowledgment you	W 95 L 16 (188)
sure to give the promise of todays idea, and tell	W 95 L 17 (188)
Self. I honor you because of what I am, And what	W 95 L 17 (188)
mind and body. This sense of being split into opposites induces	W 96 L 1 (189)
split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict, and	W 96 L 1 (189)
to reconcile the contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought	W 96 L 1 (189)
many such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites	W 96 L 1 (189)
you will attempt endless lists of goals you cannot reach; a	W 96 L 2 (189)
cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort	W 96 L 2 (189)
a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and	W 96 L 2 (189)
it could be really part of you. If you are Spirit	W 96 L 4 (189)
5. Spirit makes use of mind as means to find	W 96 L 5 (189)
It has denied its Source of strength, and sees itself as	W 96 L 6 (190)
s plan for the release of His dear Son bring pain	W 96 L 7 (190)
mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds	W 96 L 7 (190)
go wandering in a world of dreams, to find illusions in	W 96 L 9 (191)
time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who	W 96 L 11 (191)
your growing store. And all of it is given everyone who	W 96 L 12 (191)
conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of fear	W 97 L 1 (192)
fields of peace. No chill of fear can enter, for your	W 97 L 1 (192)
your mind has been absolved of madness, letting go illusions of	W 97 L 1 (192)
of madness, letting go illusions of a split identity. 2	W 97 L 1 (192)
your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you	W 97 L 2 (192)
for the miracle makes use of time, but is not ruled	W 97 L 3 (192)
glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands	W 97 L 6 (193)
multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of thousands more. And when it	W 97 L 7 (193)
much as does the radiance of the sun outshine the tiny	W 97 L 7 (193)
goes out. The steady brilliance of this light remains, and leads	W 97 L 7 (193)
remains, and leads you out of darkness, nor will you be	W 97 L 7 (193)
am I, a holy Son of God, Free of all limits	W 97 L 8 (193)
holy Son of God, Free of all limits, safe and healed	W 97 L 8 (193)
this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and	W 97 L 8 (193)
Today is a day of special dedication. We take a	W 98 L 1 (194)
take our stand with certainty of purpose, and with thanks that	W 98 L 2 (194)
For we have been absolved of errors. All our sins are	W 98 L 2 (194)
it not worth five minutes of your time each hour to	W 98 L 5 (195)
here? Is not five minutes of the hour but a small	W 98 L 5 (195)
a small request in terms of a reward so great it	W 98 L 5 (195)
your full release from pain of every kind, and joy the	W 98 L 6 (195)
You can exchange a little of your time for peace of	W 98 L 6 (195)
of your time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose	W 98 L 6 (195)
peace of mind and certainty of purpose, with the promise of	W 98 L 6 (195)
of purpose, with the promise of complete success. And since time	W 98 L 6 (195)
give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will	W 98 L 7 (195)
yours, and make each repetition of todays idea a total	W 98 L 7 (195)
to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may	W 98 L 8 (195)
you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function	W 98 L 9 (196)
with Him, exchanging every instant of the time you offer Him	W 98 L 9 (196)
or different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms	W 99 L 1 (197)
occurred, resulting in a state of conflict between what is and	W 99 L 1 (197)
within a mind where both of them exist? The mind which	W 99 L 3 (197)
attack, and with no touch of pain? What but a Thought	W 99 L 4 (197)
pain? What but a Thought of God could be this plan	W 99 L 4 (197)
Holy Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was	W 99 L 5 (197)
exactly as it was received of Him within the Mind of	W 99 L 5 (197)
of Him within the Mind of God, and in your own	W 99 L 5 (197)
it operates in time because of your belief that time is	W 99 L 5 (197)
one answer to appearances regardless of their form, their size, their	W 99 L 7 (198)
loves you. All the world of pain is not His will	W 99 L 8 (198)
mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which thought the	W 99 L 8 (198)
one Son is you. Think of these things in practicing today	W 99 L 10 (199)
this instruction in the way of truth: Salvation is my only	W 99 L 10 (199)
which would oppose the truth of your completeness, unity and peace	W 99 L 11 (199)
no function that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one	W 99 L 11 (199)
power to remove all forms of doubt and fear forever from	W 99 L 12 (199)
you are One. Remind yourself of this between the times you	W 99 L 13 (199)
that you are the Son of God. ---	W 99 L 13 (199)
would play another part, instead of what has been assigned to	W 100 L 4 (200)
the world is thus deprived of joy, along with you. God	W 100 L 5 (201)
happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants	W 100 L 6 (201)
rather look upon in place of Him who waits that you	W 100 L 8 (201)
s plan for the salvation of the world.	W 100 L 9 (202)
will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key	W 101 L 1 (203)
pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never	W 101 L 3 (203)
it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are	W 101 L 3 (203)
your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have	W 101 L 4 (203)
you have made a devil of Gods Son.	W 101 L 5 (203)
Fear not the Will of God. But turn to It	W 101 L 7 (204)
faster to the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin	W 101 L 8 (204)
dark and hidden secret places of your mind. 2.	W 102 L 1 (205)
to join the happy Will of God. 3. For	W 102 L 2 (205)
periods today with this acceptance of Gods Will for you	W 102 L 4 (205)
Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart	W 103 L 1 (207)
can enter, bringing pain instead of joy. This strange belief would	W 103 L 1 (207)
its results become the heritage of minds which think what they	W 103 L 2 (207)
bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love He	W 103 L 2 (207)
Him is to be afraid of joy. Begin your longer exercises	W 103 L 2 (207)
happiness belongs to you because of what He is. 3	W 103 L 2 (207)
expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it	W 103 L 3 (207)
They are your right, because of what you are. They come	W 104 L 1 (208)
in choosing them in place of what we made, we but	W 104 L 2 (208)
Then lay aside the conflicts of the world which offer other	W 104 L 3 (208)
gifts and other goals made of illusions, witnessed to by them	W 104 L 3 (208)
for only in a world of dreams. 4. All	W 104 L 3 (208)
His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome	W 104 L 4 (208)
not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we	W 104 L 5 (209)
in truth. Gods gifts of joy and peace are all	W 104 L 5 (209)
meant to be a pledge of debt to be repaid with	W 105 L 2 (210)
the gift. This strange distortion of what giving means pervades all	W 105 L 2 (210)
giving means pervades all levels of the world you see. It	W 105 L 2 (210)
is to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive	W 105 L 3 (210)
giving has become a source of fear, and so you would	W 105 L 3 (210)
will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God	W 105 L 3 (210)
you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you	W 105 L 3 (210)
already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies	W 105 L 4 (210)
contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away	W 105 L 4 (210)
can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and	W 105 L 5 (211)
differently. Begin today by thinking of those brothers who have been	W 105 L 6 (211)
right under the equal laws of God. Here you denied them	W 105 L 6 (211)
them as your own. Think of your enemies a little while	W 105 L 6 (211)
let your mind be free of all that would prevent success	W 105 L 7 (211)
ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God	W 105 L 7 (211)
let yourself receive the gifts of God as yours. Then bless	W 105 L 9 (212)
will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong	W 106 L 1 (213)
Voice, Which silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the	W 106 L 1 (213)
Be not deceived by voices of the dead which tell you	W 106 L 2 (213)
they have found the source of life, and offer it to	W 106 L 2 (213)
today to circumvent the voices of the world. Walk lightly past	W 106 L 2 (213)
things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness	W 106 L 3 (213)
4. Today the promise of Gods Word is kept	W 106 L 4 (213)
world through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that	W 106 L 7 (214)
thus become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does	W 106 L 7 (214)
Today the holy Word of God is kept through your	W 106 L 10 (214)
by listening and learning it of Him. Do not forget today	W 106 L 10 (214)
truth. I am the messenger of God today, My voice is	W 106 L 10 (214)
you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is? How	W 107 L 2 (216)
be extended to the end of time and to eternity. Then	W 107 L 2 (216)
eternity. Then let the sense of quiet that you felt be	W 107 L 2 (216)
than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will	W 107 L 3 (216)
in its wings the gift of perfect constancy, and love which	W 107 L 5 (217)
not falter in the face of pain but looks beyond it	W 107 L 5 (217)
sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the truth needs	W 107 L 5 (217)
practice on the happy note of certainty which has been born	W 107 L 7 (217)
certainty which has been born of truth. The shaky and unsteady	W 107 L 7 (217)
The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our approach	W 107 L 7 (217)
today. We are as certain of success as we are sure	W 107 L 7 (217)
Him. You are not made of flesh and blood and bone	W 107 L 8 (217)
Thought Which gave the gift of life to Him as well	W 107 L 8 (217)
bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth	W 107 L 10 (218)
with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the	W 107 L 10 (218)
light except the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts	W 108 L 1 (219)
the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken	W 108 L 1 (219)
behold. It is a state of mind which has become so	W 108 L 2 (219)
light which brings your peace of mind to other minds, to	W 108 L 3 (219)
perception, based upon one frame of reference from which one meaning	W 108 L 3 (219)
receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose truth does	W 108 L 4 (219)
perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this Thought	W 108 L 4 (219)
are but some special cases of one law which holds for	W 108 L 5 (219)
which holds for every kind of learning, if it be directed	W 108 L 5 (219)
be generalized to other areas of doubt and double vision. And	W 108 L 6 (220)
practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We will	W 108 L 7 (220)
and for five minutes think of what you would hold out	W 108 L 8 (220)
To everyone I offer peace of mind. To everyone I offer	W 108 L 8 (220)
be helpful, too, to think of one to whom to give	W 108 L 9 (220)
much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for today as	W 108 L 10 (221)
and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of	W 109 L 1 (222)
of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We ask for	W 109 L 1 (222)
is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world	W 109 L 2 (222)
thought in which the Son of God is born again, to	W 109 L 2 (222)
and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering	W 109 L 3 (222)
to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God	W 109 L 3 (222)
This is the day of peace. You rest in God	W 109 L 4 (222)
world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains completely	W 109 L 4 (222)
undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on	W 109 L 4 (222)
anxiety, no pain, no fear of future and no past regrets	W 109 L 5 (222)
into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your	W 109 L 5 (223)
fantasies were but the dreams of fever that has passed away	W 109 L 5 (223)
came to bring the peace of God into the world, that	W 109 L 6 (223)
You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon	W 109 L 8 (223)
everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary	W 109 L 8 (223)
You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid	W 109 L 9 (223)
Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We	W 109 L 9 (224)
passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind	W 109 L 9 (224)
rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time	W 109 L 9 (224)
there has been no separation of your mind from His, no	W 110 L 4 (225)
5. The healing power of todays idea is limitless	W 110 L 5 (225)
limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer	W 110 L 5 (225)
all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness	W 110 L 5 (225)
the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice todays	W 110 L 5 (225)
Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within	W 110 L 6 (226)
Christ in you, the Son of God and Brother to the	W 110 L 6 (226)
made to be the Son of God instead of what he	W 110 L 7 (226)
the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped	W 110 L 7 (226)
that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self	W 110 L 9 (226)
Self, the Christ in each of us, I am as God	W 110 L 9 (226)
can. This is the Word of God that sets you free	W 110 L 9 (226)
that opens up the gate of Heaven, and which lets you	W 110 L 9 (226)
you enter in the peace of God and His eternity.	W 110 L 9 (226)
today. We will review two of the last twenty ideas each	W 111 RIII 1 (228)
as you can. We understand, of course, that it may be	W 111 RIII 1 (228)
each day and every hour of the day. 2.	W 111 RIII 1 (228)
you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our	W 111 RIII 2 (228)
carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you can not control	W 111 RIII 2 (228)
will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to	W 111 RIII 6 (229)
devote the first five minutes of the day to your review	W 111 RIII 8 (229)
give the last five minutes of your waking day to it	W 111 RIII 8 (229)
are equally important, and perhaps of even greater value. You have	W 111 RIII 9 (229)
If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods	W 111 RIII 11 (230)
help you form the habit of applying what you learn each	W 111 RIII 11 (230)
and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to	W 111 RIII 11 (230)
with you in the business of the day, and make it	W 111 RIII 11 (230)
and make it holy, worthy of Gods Son, acceptable to	W 111 RIII 11 (230)
will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each	W 111 RIII 12 (230)
This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such	W 111 RIII 12 (230)
forget your Fathers need of you, as you review these	W 111 RIII 12 (230)
in darkness. Let the light Of holiness and truth light up	W 111 RIII 1 (231)
see through strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness	W 111 RIII 2 (231)

because I am a part of Him. 2. 94	W 112 RIII 1 (232)
Spirit. I am the Son of God. No body can Contain	W 114 RIII 1 (234)
but to accept The Word of God, Who has created me	W 114 RIII 2 (234)
am essential to the plan of God For the salvation of	W 114 RIII 2 (235)
of God For the salvation of the world. For He Gave	W 114 RIII 2 (235)
Me hear the mighty Voice of truth itself Assure me that	W 118 RIII 2 (238)
rests safely in the Mind of God. 2. 108	W 119 RIII 1 (239)
lay aside All sick illusions of myself, and let My Father	W 120 RIII 2 (240)
uncertainty to all your hopes of ever finding quietness and peace	W 121 L 1 (241)
questions answered; here the end of all uncertainty ensured at last	W 121 L 1 (241)
The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no	W 121 L 2 (241)
and soar above the turmoil of the world. The unforgiving mind	W 121 L 2 (241)
is sad, without the hope of respite and release from pain	W 121 L 2 (241)
darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there.	W 121 L 2 (241)
to go to sleep, afraid of every sound, yet more afraid	W 121 L 3 (241)
every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet	W 121 L 3 (241)
more afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at	W 121 L 3 (241)
more terrified at the approach of light. What can the unforgiving	W 121 L 3 (241)
to attack its miserable parody of life. It wants to live	W 121 L 4 (241)
wants escape, yet can conceive of none because it sees the	W 121 L 4 (241)
in despair, without the prospect of a future which can offer	W 121 L 5 (242)
Yet it regards its judgment of the world as irreversible, and	W 121 L 5 (242)
your learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher	W 121 L 7 (242)
be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given	W 121 L 7 (242)
towards one whom you think of as an enemy and one	W 121 L 9 (243)
longer practice periods by thinking of someone you do not like	W 121 L 10 (243)
to find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly	W 121 L 11 (243)
ugly picture which you hold of him. Look at this picture	W 121 L 11 (243)
Am mortal, fallible, and full of sin, And know I am	W 121 L 14 (243)
I am the perfect Son of God. ---	W 121 L 14 (243)
a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of	W 122 L 1 (244)
of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends	W 122 L 1 (244)
and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you	W 122 L 1 (244)
so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and	W 122 L 2 (244)
it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this	W 122 L 2 (244)
up which hides the Face of Christ from those who look	W 122 L 3 (244)
lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory	W 122 L 3 (244)
God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that	W 122 L 3 (244)
dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across	W 122 L 3 (244)
can arise across the threshold of your mind. What would you	W 122 L 3 (244)
you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within	W 122 L 6 (245)
but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Let	W 122 L 6 (245)
the salvation of the Son of God. Let us today rejoice	W 122 L 6 (245)
simplicity. 7. All of the complexities the world has	W 122 L 7 (245)
complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the	W 122 L 7 (245)
the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of	W 122 L 7 (245)
of this extremely simple statement of the truth. Here is the	W 122 L 7 (245)
now. It is the gift of God and not the world	W 122 L 7 (245)
world can give no gifts of any value to a mind	W 122 L 7 (245)
today, and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide	W 122 L 8 (245)
look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness	W 122 L 8 (245)
happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means	W 122 L 8 (245)
comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises	W 122 L 8 (245)
we gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search	W 122 L 10 (245)
search in which the end of hell is guaranteed. Begin in	W 122 L 10 (245)
indeed to the appointed ending of the dream.	W 122 L 10 (245)
hold out the sure rewards of questions answered, and what your	W 122 L 11 (246)
answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings. Today it	W 122 L 11 (246)
and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to	W 122 L 11 (246)
again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances	W 122 L 13 (246)
the changeless in the heart of change; the light of truth	W 122 L 13 (246)
heart of change; the light of truth behind appearances. 14	W 122 L 13 (246)
by your attempts to think of them at least a minute	W 122 L 14 (246)
a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by.	W 122 L 14 (246)
I have received the gifts of God. ---	W 122 L 14 (247)
roads. There is no thought of turning back, and no implacable	W 123 L 1 (248)
to the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections	W 123 L 1 (248)
gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real	W 123 L 1 (248)
insight into the real extent of all the gains which you	W 123 L 1 (248)
made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give	W 123 L 2 (248)
meager gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established	W 123 L 3 (248)
dust. We sing the song of thankfulness today in honor of	W 123 L 4 (248)
of thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which God has	W 123 L 4 (248)
to speak the saving Word of God to us.	W 123 L 5 (248)
the world. Receive the thanks of God today, as you give	W 123 L 6 (249)
returned to you in terms of years for every second; power	W 123 L 7 (249)
you. Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks	W 123 L 8 (249)
our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one	W 124 L 4 (250)
We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way	W 124 L 5 (250)
to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were	W 124 L 5 (250)
one with God. No thought of theirs but has the power	W 124 L 6 (251)
power to heal all forms of suffering in anyone in times	W 124 L 6 (251)
world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the	W 124 L 7 (251)
Face upon it, in reflection of your own.	W 124 L 9 (251)
return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a	W 124 L 11 (252)
this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening	W 125 L 1 (253)
a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills	W 125 L 1 (253)
usher in the quiet time of peace. 2. This	W 125 L 1 (253)
is simply this: The Son of God is free to save	W 125 L 2 (253)
save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide	W 125 L 2 (253)
His Voice today, without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our	W 125 L 3 (253)
desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We will	W 125 L 3 (253)
has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not	W 125 L 3 (253)
in silence for the Word of God. 4. Hear	W 125 L 3 (253)
4. Hear, holy Son of God, your Father speak. His	W 125 L 4 (253)
across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy time	W 125 L 4 (253)
salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the	W 125 L 4 (253)
We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place	W 125 L 4 (253)
that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams	W 125 L 5 (253)
as part of Him regardless of his dreams; regardless of his	W 125 L 5 (253)
regardless of his dreams; regardless of his madness that his will	W 125 L 5 (253)
mind to hear the Voice of its Creator speak. 7	W 125 L 6 (254)
gentle listening to the Word of God. He speaks from nearer	W 125 L 7 (254)
speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of	W 125 L 8 (254)
the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will	W 125 L 8 (254)
of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose	W 125 L 8 (254)
and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no	W 125 L 8 (254)
division in the single Mind of Father and of Son. In	W 125 L 8 (254)
single Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to	W 125 L 8 (254)
lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your	W 125 L 9 (254)
Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in	W 125 L 9 (254)
quiet to receive the Word of God. ---	W 125 L 9 (254)
the ego and the thinking of the world, is crucial to	W 126 L 1 (255)
problem in complete forgiveness, certainty of goal, and sure direction. You	W 126 L 1 (255)
you do believe in place of this idea. It seems to	W 126 L 2 (255)
sin without affecting your perception of yourself, while you can judge	W 126 L 2 (255)
you bestow on one unworthy of the gift because his sins	W 126 L 3 (255)
sin. Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world	W 126 L 5 (256)
Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His	W 126 L 7 (256)
such petty gifts as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a	W 126 L 7 (256)
only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in	W 126 L 8 (256)
today, this is a day of glory for the world.	W 126 L 8 (256)
glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to	W 126 L 10 (257)
aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and	W 126 L 11 (257)
Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for	W 126 L 11 (257)
you think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you	W 127 L 1 (258)
think there is a kind of love for this, a kind	W 127 L 1 (258)
kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of	W 127 L 1 (258)
of loving one, another way of loving still another. Love is	W 127 L 1 (258)
circumstance. It is the heart of God and also of His	W 127 L 1 (258)
heart of God and also of His Son. 2.	W 127 L 1 (258)
others. To believe these things of love is not to understand	W 127 L 2 (258)
sinner, and perceive the Son of God in separate parts.	W 127 L 2 (258)
elude the mind that thinks of it as partial or in	W 127 L 3 (258)
but Gods, and all of love is His. There is	W 127 L 3 (258)
upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what	W 127 L 5 (259)
practice making free our minds of all the laws you think	W 127 L 6 (259)
you think you must obey; of all the limits under which	W 127 L 6 (259)
which you think are part of human destiny. Today we take	W 127 L 6 (259)
you achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means today, you	W 127 L 6 (259)
in time beyond the count of years to your release.	W 127 L 6 (259)
gifts, and let the Gift of God replace them all.	W 127 L 7 (259)
Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever	W 127 L 8 (259)
false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what	W 127 L 8 (259)
help you understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness He	W 127 L 8 (259)
9. Today the legion of the future years of waiting	W 127 L 9 (260)
legion of the future years of waiting for salvation disappears before	W 127 L 9 (260)
salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us	W 127 L 9 (260)
we cannot leave a part of us outside our love, if	W 127 L 11 (260)
three times an hour think of one who makes the journey	W 127 L 11 (260)
you, brother, with the Love of God Which I would share	W 127 L 11 (260)
you are saved from years of misery, from countless disappointments, and	W 128 L 1 (261)
that turn to bitter ashes of despair. No-one but must accept	W 128 L 1 (261)
there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this world contains	W 128 L 2 (261)
you value you make part of you, as you perceive yourself	W 128 L 3 (261)
that leads to true awareness of your Self. 4.	W 128 L 3 (261)
here is worth one instant of delay and pain; one moment	W 128 L 4 (261)
delay and pain; one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The worthless	W 128 L 4 (261)
The worthless offers nothing. Certainty of worth cannot be found in	W 128 L 4 (261)
practice letting go all thought of values we have given to	W 128 L 5 (261)
world. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects	W 128 L 5 (261)
an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay	W 128 L 8 (262)
filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you	W 129 L 1 (263)
once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you will	W 129 L 2 (263)
in letting go all thought of value here. The world you	W 129 L 2 (263)
here. This is the world of time, where all things end	W 129 L 2 (263)
for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there	W 129 L 3 (263)
it to take the place of all the things you seek	W 129 L 6 (264)
to see that world instead of this, For here is nothing	W 129 L 7 (264)
the lights that are not of this world light one by	W 129 L 7 (264)
8. Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to	W 129 L 8 (264)
you rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your	W 129 L 8 (264)
and can understand. A day of grace is given you today	W 129 L 8 (264)
thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see	W 130 L 1 (266)
see. Your values are determiners of this, for what you value	W 130 L 1 (266)
choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear	W 130 L 2 (266)
be real in blind imaginings of panic born? What would you	W 130 L 3 (266)
all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up	W 130 L 4 (266)
worlds which have no overlap of any kind. Seek for the	W 130 L 5 (266)
remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your decision	W 130 L 5 (266)
quite consistent from the point of view from which you see	W 130 L 6 (267)
with us a little part of unreality, as we devote our	W 130 L 7 (267)
five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of	W 130 L 8 (267)
of all the petty treasures of this world. You wait for	W 130 L 8 (267)
it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone	W 130 L 9 (267)
Accept a little part of hell as real, and you	W 130 L 11 (268)
hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains within your	W 130 L 11 (268)
still remains within your range of choice, to take the place	W 130 L 11 (268)
choice, to take the place of everything that hell would show	W 130 L 11 (268)
need say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes	W 130 L 11 (268)
this is not a part of what I want.	W 130 L 11 (268)
for safety in the midst of danger; immortality within the darkness	W 131 L 1 (269)
danger; immortality within the darkness of the dream of death. Who	W 131 L 1 (269)
the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where	W 131 L 1 (269)
where contradiction is the setting of his searching, and the place	W 131 L 1 (269)
achieve that offers any hope of being real? Pursuit of the	W 131 L 2 (269)
hope of being real? Pursuit of the imagined leads to death	W 131 L 2 (269)
old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding	W 131 L 3 (269)
be. How could the Will of God be in the past	W 131 L 6 (270)
and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make	W 131 L 7 (270)
Heaven as the glad effect of one, and earth the other	W 131 L 7 (270)
present now beyond the reach of time. 9. Today	W 131 L 8 (270)
choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son	W 131 L 9 (270)
truth. How could the Son of God make time to take	W 131 L 9 (270)
to take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself	W 131 L 9 (270)
ask to see the rising of the real world to replace	W 131 L 10 (271)
ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning	W 131 L 10 (271)
and think A different kind of thoughts from those I made	W 131 L 10 (271)
you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you	W 131 L 13 (271)
Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to	W 131 L 14 (272)
you will find the goal of all your searching here and	W 131 L 14 (272)
here and all the seeking of the world, which end together	W 131 L 14 (272)
today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from	W 131 L 15 (272)
Itself to be a time of grace for you and for	W 131 L 15 (272)
to question that the hope of freedom comes to him at	W 132 L 1 (273)
with it. Now the source of thought has shifted, for to	W 132 L 2 (273)
you have changed the source of all ideas you think or	W 132 L 2 (273)
future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not	W 132 L 2 (273)
you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind.	W 132 L 3 (273)
But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to	W 132 L 6 (274)
see it suddenly on point of death, and rise to teach	W 132 L 7 (274)
in experience that is not of this world, which shows them	W 132 L 7 (274)
you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise	W 132 L 8 (274)
arise when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you	W 132 L 8 (274)
all thoughts you ever held of death. ---	W 132 L 8 (274)
state. How can a world of time and place exist if	W 132 L 9 (275)
for today except another way of saying that to know your	W 132 L 10 (275)
your Self is the salvation of the world? To free the	W 132 L 10 (275)
the world from every kind of pain is but to change	W 132 L 10 (275)
to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as God in	W 132 L 12 (275)
and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy	W 132 L 13 (275)
this day from every one of our illusions, that we may	W 132 L 14 (276)
tempted to deny the power of your simple change of mind	W 132 L 17 (276)
power of your simple change of mind: I loose the world	W 132 L 17 (276)
today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas, but dwell	W 133 L 1 (277)
do not ask too much of life, but far too little	W 133 L 2 (277)
until you had considered all of them in time, and not	W 133 L 4 (277)
is the choice you make of value to you? What attracts	W 133 L 8 (278)
serve? Here it is easiest of all to be deceived, for	W 133 L 8 (278)
own, the rust a sign of deep unworthiness within himself. He	W 133 L 10 (279)
mistakes according to the dictates of his guide. This guidance teaches	W 133 L 10 (279)
is overlaid with many levels of obscurity. If you feel any	W 133 L 11 (279)
or valueless, worthy or not of being sought at all, entirely	W 133 L 12 (279)
Choosing is easy just because of this. Complexity is nothing but	W 133 L 12 (279)
is nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very	W 133 L 12 (279)
Our two extended practice periods of fifteen minutes will begin with	W 133 L 14 (279)
reaches, unencumbered, to the gate of Heaven, which swings open as	W 133 L 14 (279)
Let us review the meaning of forgive, for it is apt	W 134 L 1 (281)
which entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath, a gift unjustified	W 134 L 1 (281)
undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In such a	W 134 L 1 (281)
2. This twisted view of what forgiveness means is easily	W 134 L 2 (281)
and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt	W 134 L 3 (281)
the hold that the idea of sin retains as yet upon	W 134 L 3 (281)
it is impossible to think of sin as true and not	W 134 L 4 (281)
lays them at the feet of truth. And there they disappear	W 134 L 6 (282)
for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their	W 134 L 7 (282)
not heed the self-accusing shrieks of sinners mad with guilt. It	W 134 L 7 (282)
8. The strength of pardon is its honesty, which	W 134 L 8 (282)
as truth. It is because of this that it becomes the	W 134 L 8 (282)
the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of	W 134 L 8 (282)
of lies, the great restorer of the simple truth. By its	W 134 L 8 (282)
had been blocked by dreams of guilt. Now are you free	W 134 L 8 (282)
brother has received this gift of you, the door is open	W 134 L 8 (282)
are tempted to accuse someone of sin in any form, do	W 134 L 9 (282)
instead, Should I accuse myself of doing this?	W 134 L 9 (282)
keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as God	W 134 L 10 (283)
lies beyond, between the hell of guilt and Heavens gate	W 134 L 10 (283)
on it, are all dreams of evil and of hatred and	W 134 L 11 (283)
all dreams of evil and of hatred and attack brought silently	W 134 L 11 (283)
he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he	W 134 L 12 (283)
which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows, nor	W 134 L 13 (283)
true forgiveness that the time of joining be no more delayed	W 134 L 14 (283)
let us give a quarter of an hour twice today, and	W 134 L 15 (284)
Guide Who understands the meaning of forgiveness, and was sent to	W 134 L 15 (284)
teach it. Let us ask of Him: Let me perceive forgiveness	W 134 L 15 (284)
to dwell on any one of them, but realize that you	W 134 L 16 (284)
the world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the	W 134 L 16 (284)
the evil things you thought of him, and each time ask	W 134 L 16 (284)
all the thoughts you had of sin in him. And now	W 134 L 17 (284)
a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your chest, a	W 134 L 17 (284)
a deep and certain feeling of relief. The time remaining should	W 134 L 17 (284)
is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I will not	W 134 L 18 (284)
And herein lies the folly of defense; it gives illusions full	W 135 L 1 (285)
what threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of	W 135 L 2 (285)
of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief	W 135 L 2 (285)
but to preserve its sense of threat. For no-one walks the	W 135 L 3 (285)
offers safety. Yet it speaks of fear made real and terror	W 135 L 4 (285)
fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host?	W 135 L 5 (286)
It needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing medicine, no	W 135 L 6 (286)
is open to the thief of time, corruptible and crumbling, so	W 135 L 6 (286)
peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed	W 135 L 7 (286)
far beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would	W 135 L 7 (286)
water. Who would make defense of something that he recognized as	W 135 L 7 (286)
The body is in need of no defense. This cannot be	W 135 L 8 (286)
that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and	W 135 L 10 (286)
are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body will	W 135 L 11 (287)
defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it	W 135 L 11 (287)
merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal	W 135 L 11 (287)
merely take away the hope of healing, for you fail to	W 135 L 11 (287)
impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal which serves the	W 135 L 12 (287)
plan established for the good of everyone. 13. A	W 135 L 12 (287)
go. 14. Enslavement of the body to the plans	W 135 L 14 (287)
free to be a means of helping in a plan which	W 135 L 14 (287)
defenses, with the purpose all of them were made to realize	W 135 L 15 (288)
own protection at the cost of truth. This is not difficult	W 135 L 15 (288)
self-deceptions take, for the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet	W 135 L 15 (288)
occupied in setting up control of future happenings. It does not	W 135 L 16 (288)
past experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it	W 135 L 17 (288)
the past, without a continuity of any old ideas and sick	W 135 L 17 (288)
consider incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what remains	W 135 L 18 (288)
future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow, and with joy which	W 135 L 20 (289)
confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us	W 135 L 22 (289)
given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no	W 135 L 22 (289)
Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give	W 135 L 23 (289)
that we may give instead of organize. And we are given	W 135 L 23 (289)
make, you will be told of them. They may not be	W 135 L 24 (290)
are answers to another kind of question, which remains unanswered, yet	W 135 L 24 (290)
remains unanswered, yet in need of answering until the Answer comes	W 135 L 24 (290)
in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but	W 135 L 25 (290)
hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for	W 135 L 26 (290)
for you within the plan of God. What little plans or	W 135 L 26 (290)
your function from the Voice of God Himself? 27.	W 135 L 26 (290)
For you can not conceive of all the happiness that comes	W 135 L 27 (290)
defend myself, Because the Son of God needs no defense Against	W 135 L 27 (290)
no defense Against the truth of his Reality.	W 135 L 27 (290)
and without a meaningful intent of any kind, it cannot be	W 136 L 1 (291)
same approach which carries all of them to truth, and merely	W 136 L 1 (291)
it to a little pile of unassembled parts. The aim of	W 136 L 2 (291)
of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep	W 136 L 2 (291)
to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with which you	W 136 L 3 (291)
and sets up a series of defenses to reduce the threat	W 136 L 4 (291)
a happening beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a	W 136 L 4 (291)
real effect on you, instead of one effected by your self	W 136 L 4 (291)
It is this quick forgetting of the part you play in	W 136 L 5 (292)
Every defense takes fragments of the whole, assembles them without	W 136 L 6 (292)
relationships, and thus constructs illusions of a whole which is not	W 136 L 6 (292)
but for your own decision of what should be real, to	W 136 L 6 (292)
real, to take the place of what is real. 7	W 136 L 6 (292)
something beyond this little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For	W 136 L 8 (292)
s design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a	W 136 L 9 (293)
11. God knows not of your plans to change His	W 136 L 11 (293)
Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you	W 136 L 11 (293)
created is apart from all of this. Defenses are plans to	W 136 L 11 (293)
it must be. The Thoughts of God are quite apart from	W 136 L 13 (293)
we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask	W 136 L 15 (294)
I will accept the truth of what I am, And let	W 136 L 15 (294)
arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There	W 136 L 16 (294)
keep defended from the light of truth. There will be no	W 136 L 16 (294)
mind. It will be healed of all the sickly wishes that	W 136 L 16 (294)
body healed because the source of sickness has been opened to	W 136 L 17 (294)
there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well	W 136 L 17 (294)
feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No response	W 136 L 17 (294)
For healing is the opposite of all the worlds ideas	W 137 L 1 (296)
others, and a shutting off of joining. It becomes a door	W 137 L 1 (296)
pieces by a solid wall of sickened flesh which it can	W 137 L 2 (296)
to attack the universal Oneness of Gods Son. Sickness would	W 137 L 3 (296)
which cancels out the dream of sickness in the name of	W 137 L 5 (297)
of sickness in the name of truth, but not in truth	W 137 L 5 (297)
arise to take the place of what has never been at	W 137 L 5 (297)
which dreams embroider into pictures of the truth. 6.	W 137 L 5 (297)
think not healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ	W 137 L 6 (297)
world will occupy the place of what you made, so healing	W 137 L 7 (297)
healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before	W 137 L 7 (297)
seen to disappear in spite of all the laws which hold	W 137 L 7 (297)
forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow	W 137 L 9 (298)
exchange of all the world of sorrow for a world where	W 137 L 9 (298)
are healed become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse	W 137 L 11 (298)
healed and all the grace of healing it is given them	W 137 L 11 (298)
occupy our minds; that thoughts of healing will this day go	W 137 L 12 (298)
and separation for the peace of God. Is not a minute	W 137 L 13 (299)
God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving	W 137 L 13 (299)
to offer for the gift of everything? 14. Yet	W 137 L 13 (299)
be banished from the mind Of Gods One Son, Who	W 137 L 14 (299)
and to receive the Word of God to take the place	W 137 L 15 (299)
God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that	W 137 L 15 (299)
be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering	W 137 L 15 (299)
But here is opposition part of being real. It is this	W 138 L 2 (300)
It is this strange perception of the truth which makes the	W 138 L 2 (300)
truth which makes the choice of Heaven seen to be the	W 138 L 2 (300)
the same as the relinquishment of hell. It is not really	W 138 L 2 (300)
as opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim	W 138 L 3 (300)
conflicting goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of time	W 138 L 3 (300)
aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision time is	W 138 L 3 (300)
results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished	W 138 L 3 (300)
to teach within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching	W 138 L 5 (301)
you. Decisions are the outcome of your learning, for they rest	W 138 L 5 (301)
have accepted as the truth of what you are and what	W 138 L 5 (301)
appears to take the form of choice, rather than merely being	W 138 L 6 (301)
merely being what it is. Of all the choices you have	W 138 L 6 (301)
simplest, most definitive, the prototype of all the rest, the one	W 138 L 6 (301)
beliefs can gain unconscious hold of great intensity, and grip the	W 138 L 8 (301)
10. The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as	W 138 L 10 (302)
sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when	W 138 L 10 (302)
the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised	W 138 L 10 (302)
raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to	W 138 L 10 (302)
thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? 11	W 138 L 10 (302)
has nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its pseudo-being brought	W 138 L 11 (302)
give the last five minutes of our waking day to the	W 138 L 12 (303)
Here is the end of choice. For here we come	W 139 L 1 (304)
what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? There is	W 139 L 1 (304)
is. From this one point of certainty it looks on other	W 139 L 2 (304)
something else, becomes a questioner of what that something is. Yet	W 139 L 4 (304)
Thus he becomes uncertain of his life, for what it	W 139 L 5 (304)
yourself. There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt	W 139 L 5 (305)
do not ask what part of you can really doubt yourself	W 139 L 5 (305)
cannot really be a part of you that asks this question	W 139 L 5 (305)
this question, for it asks of one who knows the answer	W 139 L 5 (305)
the answer. Were it part of you, uncertainty would be impossible	W 139 L 5 (305)
doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are. This	W 139 L 6 (305)
are. This is the depth of madness. Yet it is the	W 139 L 6 (305)
it is the universal question of the world. What does this	W 139 L 6 (305)
and not to be aware of what you are. Only acceptance	W 139 L 7 (305)
Only acceptance can be asked of you, for what you are	W 139 L 7 (305)
forever in the holy Mind of God and in your own	W 139 L 7 (305)
know that they are part of you and you of them	W 139 L 9 (306)
part of you and you of them. This does Atonement teach	W 139 L 9 (306)
teach, and demonstrates the oneness of Gods Son is unassailed	W 139 L 9 (306)
rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this	W 139 L 10 (306)
We start with this review of what our mission is: I	W 139 L 10 (306)
truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how	W 139 L 11 (306)
all creation, in the Name of its Creator and His Oneness	W 139 L 12 (306)
His Oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication	W 139 L 12 (306)
let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which	W 139 L 12 (306)
weave around the holy Son of God and learn the fragile	W 139 L 12 (306)
and learn the fragile nature of the chains which seem to	W 139 L 12 (306)
seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness	W 139 L 12 (306)
the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion	W 140 L 1 (307)
What difference does the content of a dream make in reality	W 140 L 2 (307)
are different from the dreams of the world, where one can	W 140 L 3 (307)
do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer	W 140 L 3 (307)
His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon	W 140 L 3 (307)
are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. They	W 140 L 3 (307)
it is but another form of guilt. Atonement does not heal	W 140 L 4 (307)
sick, unmindful where the need of for healing is. This is	W 140 L 6 (308)
our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a	W 140 L 8 (308)
today to find the source of healing, which is in our	W 140 L 8 (308)
today, and reach the source of healing from which nothing is	W 140 L 9 (309)
some forms than others. All of them are false, and can	W 140 L 9 (309)
medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they	W 140 L 10 (309)
and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all	W 140 L 10 (309)
restoring saneness to the Son of God. No voice but This	W 140 L 10 (309)
Voice Which speaks to us of truth where all illusions end	W 140 L 10 (309)
to the eternal quiet home of God. 11. We	W 140 L 10 (309)
aside, not separately, but all of them as one. They are	W 140 L 11 (309)
preparing for the second part of learning how the truth can	W 140 RIV 1 (311)
fact and represents the truth of What you are and What	W 140 RIV 2 (311)
those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this Thought from	W 140 RIV 2 (311)
our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in which	W 140 RIV 3 (311)
forms in which the lack of true forgiveness may be carefully	W 140 RIV 3 (311)
self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. No more than can	W 140 RIV 4 (311)
the coming and the going of the tides, the warming of	W 140 RIV 4 (311)
of the tides, the warming of the water by the sun	W 140 RIV 4 (311)
by the sun, the silver of the moon on it at	W 140 RIV 4 (311)
time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
your mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
one will bring the message of His Love to you, returning	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So will	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He	W 140 RIV 5 (312)
your preparation, merely read each of the two ideas assigned to	W 140 RIV 6 (312)
it for you to have of Him. And we will use	W 140 RIV 6 (312)
7. Each hour of the day bring to your	W 140 RIV 7 (312)
as the inheritance we have of Him. ---	W 140 RIV 8 (312)
9. Each day of practicing, as we review, we	W 140 RIV 9 (313)
the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for	W 140 RIV 9 (313)
special time of blessing and of happiness for us; and through	W 140 RIV 9 (313)
who practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you	W 140 RIV 9 (313)
151. All things are echoes of the Voice of God.	W 151 L 0 (316)
are echoes of the Voice of God. 1	W 151 L 0 (316)
and without a doubt, because of all the doubting underneath.	W 151 L 1 (316)
so implicitly? Why but because of underlying doubt which you would	W 151 L 2 (316)
you would hide with show of certainty? 3. How	W 151 L 2 (316)
to by the eternal Voice of God Himself. 4.	W 151 L 3 (316)
the egos judgments, all of which are false. It guides	W 151 L 4 (316)
helpless and afraid, how apprehensive of just punishment how black with	W 151 L 4 (316)
This thing it speaks of and would yet defend it	W 151 L 5 (317)
false, and speak with certainty of what they do not know	W 151 L 6 (317)
for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your	W 151 L 7 (317)
Judge of what is worthy of your own belief. He will	W 151 L 7 (317)
what your fingers touch reports of him. He passes by such	W 151 L 7 (317)
and in the holy light of what He sees do all	W 151 L 8 (317)
all the egos dreams of what you are vanish before	W 151 L 8 (317)
beholds. Let Him be Judge of what you are, for He	W 151 L 8 (317)
cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can only honor Him	W 151 L 8 (317)
now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body	W 151 L 9 (317)
with toys of sin, unheeding of the bodys witnesses before	W 151 L 9 (317)
s witnesses before the rapture of His holy Face.	W 151 L 9 (317)
judges you. Accept His word of what you are, for He	W 151 L 9 (318)
Him Who knows the glory of the Father and the Son	W 151 L 10 (318)
and the Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear	W 151 L 10 (318)
Him be Judge as well of everything that seems to happen	W 151 L 10 (318)
can behold the gentle Face of Christ in all of them	W 151 L 11 (318)
Face of Christ in all of them. You will no longer	W 151 L 11 (318)
to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge	W 151 L 11 (318)
way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure	W 151 L 12 (318)
life is not a part of anything you see. It stands	W 151 L 13 (318)
Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and	W 151 L 13 (318)
you see the holy Face of Christ in everything, and hear	W 151 L 13 (318)
no sound except the echo of Gods Voice.	W 151 L 13 (318)
today, except at the beginning of the time you spend with	W 151 L 14 (319)
but a single, slow repeating of the thought with which the	W 151 L 14 (319)
Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him	W 151 L 14 (319)
to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back	W 151 L 14 (319)
do not contradict the Will of God. 15. Give	W 151 L 14 (319)
wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as	W 151 L 15 (319)
falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone, and what	W 151 L 15 (319)
taught to teach the Son of God the holy lesson of	W 151 L 16 (319)
of God the holy lesson of his sanctity. No-one can fail	W 151 L 16 (319)
when you hear the Voice of God give honor to God	W 151 L 16 (319)
so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the world	W 151 L 17 (319)
no illusions, and the peace of God, through us, belongs to	W 151 L 18 (320)
Lesson 152. The power of decision is my own.	W 152 L 0 (321)
If you have the gift of everything can loss be real	W 152 L 2 (321)
real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of joy	W 152 L 2 (321)
part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness	W 152 L 2 (321)
not yet accept both parts of it. Without the first the	W 152 L 3 (321)
what is true, then part of truth is false, and truth	W 152 L 3 (321)
This is the simplest of distinctions, yet the most obscure	W 152 L 4 (321)
concealed behind a vast array of choices which do not appear	W 152 L 4 (321)
in feeling, alterations in conditions of the body and the mind	W 152 L 5 (322)
arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be sure	W 152 L 6 (322)
sure. What can He know of the ephemeral, the sinful and	W 152 L 6 (322)
die? You but accuse Him of insanity to think He made	W 152 L 6 (322)
once these things are not of Him. And can you see	W 152 L 7 (322)
what it is. The power of decision is our own. Decide	W 152 L 8 (322)
your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you	W 152 L 8 (322)
it will take the place of self deceptions made but to	W 152 L 8 (322)
sinners, guilty and afraid, ashamed of what we are. And lift	W 152 L 9 (323)
10. The power of decision is our own. And	W 152 L 10 (323)
our own. And we accept of Him that which we are	W 152 L 10 (323)
and humbly recognize the Son of God. To recognize Gods	W 152 L 10 (323)
And in humility the radiance of Gods Son, his gentleness	W 152 L 10 (323)
truth is true. We think of truth alone as we arise	W 152 L 11 (323)
minds with this: The power of decision is my own. This	W 152 L 11 (323)
He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic	W 152 L 12 (323)
your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God	W 152 L 12 (323)
s Son for your illusions of yourself. ---	W 152 L 12 (323)
this changing world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests	W 153 L 1 (324)
attack, and all its gifts of seeming safety are illusory deceptions	W 153 L 1 (324)
then attacks again. No peace of mind is possible where danger	W 153 L 1 (324)
and righteous in the name of self-defense. Yet is defensiveness a	W 153 L 2 (324)
and sets up a system of defense which cannot work. Now	W 153 L 2 (324)
defense, attack, become the circles of the hours and the days	W 153 L 3 (324)
the mind in heavy bands of steel with iron overlaid, returning	W 153 L 3 (324)
ending in the ever-tightening grip of imprisonment upon the mind.	W 153 L 3 (324)
Defenses are the costliest of all the prices which the	W 153 L 4 (324)
form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be	W 153 L 4 (324)
beyond the possible. The sense of threat the world encourages is	W 153 L 4 (324)
beyond the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that	W 153 L 4 (324)
that you have no idea of all the devastation it has	W 153 L 4 (324)
what you do in fear of it. You do not understand	W 153 L 4 (324)
to sabotage the holy peace of God by your defensiveness. For	W 153 L 5 (325)
For you behold the Son of God as but a victim	W 153 L 5 (325)
in their presence, needful only of defense by still more fantasies	W 153 L 5 (325)
and dreams, by which illusions of his safety comfort him.	W 153 L 5 (325)
strength. It testifies to recognition of the Christ in you. Perhaps	W 153 L 6 (325)
you now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful	W 153 L 7 (325)
work in all the evils of the world? What but illusions	W 153 L 7 (325)
by because a senseless fragment of a dream happened to cross	W 153 L 8 (325)
in it for the Son of God; its tiny instant for	W 153 L 8 (325)
we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of	W 153 L 9 (325)
of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill	W 153 L 9 (325)
are among the chosen ones of God by His election and	W 153 L 10 (326)
It is the function of Gods ministers to help	W 153 L 11 (326)
Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy	W 153 L 12 (326)
teach them that the game of fear is gone. His game	W 153 L 12 (326)
to everyone ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside	W 153 L 12 (326)
we put away the toys of guilt, and lock our quaint	W 153 L 13 (326)
our quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure	W 153 L 13 (326)
the pure and holy minds of Heavens children and the	W 153 L 13 (326)
s children and the Son of God. 14. We	W 153 L 13 (326)
learn the tale he reads of terrifying destiny, defeat of all	W 153 L 14 (327)
reads of terrifying destiny, defeat of all his hopes, his pitiful	W 153 L 14 (327)
in his confused, bewildered memory of this distorted tale. Gods	W 153 L 14 (327)
At other times the business of the world will close on	W 153 L 16 (327)
observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of	W 153 L 17 (327)
of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love	W 153 L 17 (327)
will never cease to think of Him, and hear His loving	W 153 L 18 (328)
His plan for the salvation of the world and yours?	W 153 L 18 (328)
time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty	W 153 L 19 (328)
our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a	W 153 L 19 (328)
begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep	W 153 L 20 (328)
your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail, because	W 153 L 20 (328)
I am among the ministers of God. 1	W 154 L 0 (329)
they are, and equally aware of where they can be best	W 154 L 2 (329)
His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him. 4	W 154 L 3 (329)
this joining, through the Voice of God, of Father and of	W 154 L 4 (329)
through the Voice of God, of Father and of Son, that	W 154 L 4 (329)
of God, of Father and of Son, that sets apart salvation	W 154 L 4 (329)
is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not	W 154 L 4 (329)
this mind becomes aware again of Who created it, and of	W 154 L 4 (329)
of Who created it, and of His lasting union with itself	W 154 L 4 (329)
Which its will and That of God are joined.	W 154 L 4 (329)
does he question the right of him who does, nor ask	W 154 L 5 (330)
his proper part as bringer of the Word. 6.	W 154 L 5 (330)
major difference in the role of Heavens messengers, which sets	W 154 L 6 (330)
the messages away. The messengers of God perform their part by	W 154 L 7 (330)
their part by their acceptance of His messages as for themselves	W 154 L 7 (330)
Would you receive the messages of God? For thus do you	W 154 L 8 (330)
giving is his own acceptance of what he received.	W 154 L 8 (330)
who are now the messengers of God receive His messages, for	W 154 L 9 (331)
messages, for that is part of your appointed role. He has	W 154 L 9 (331)
left unaccepted. Yet another part of your appointed task is yet	W 154 L 9 (331)
received for you the messages of God would have them be	W 154 L 9 (331)
the getting and the giving of Gods Word; the giving	W 154 L 10 (331)
Word; the giving and receiving of His Will. 11.	W 154 L 10 (331)
may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives.	W 154 L 11 (331)
nor has denied the tiniest of blessings to His Son. What	W 154 L 12 (331)
I am among the ministers of God, And I am grateful	W 154 L 13 (332)
There is a way of living in the world that	W 155 L 1 (333)
To let illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to	W 155 L 2 (333)
if it asked the sacrifice of something that is real. Many	W 155 L 4 (333)
have suffered from a sense of loss and have not been	W 155 L 4 (333)
have suffered from a sense of loss still deeper, which they	W 155 L 4 (333)
which leads away from loss of every kind, for sacrifice and	W 155 L 5 (333)
that they hear you speak of, nor illusion which you bring	W 155 L 6 (334)
the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through	W 155 L 6 (334)
your brothers from the ways of death, and set them on	W 155 L 7 (334)
guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake illusion	W 155 L 7 (334)
you, lighting up the path of ransom from illusion. It is	W 155 L 8 (334)
in chains the holy Son of God. It is but from	W 155 L 8 (334)
tempted still to walk ahead of truth, and let illusion be	W 155 L 9 (334)
as you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It	W 155 L 9 (334)
are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys	W 155 L 11 (335)
be holier, or more deserving of your effort, of your love	W 155 L 12 (335)
more deserving of your effort, of your love, and of your	W 155 L 12 (335)
effort, of your love, and of your full intent? What way	W 155 L 12 (335)
still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God	W 155 L 12 (335)
Trust that you are worthy of His Trust in you. He	W 155 L 13 (335)
asks but that you think of Him a while each day	W 155 L 14 (336)
to you and tell you of His Love, reminding you how	W 155 L 14 (336)
truth which makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there	W 156 L 1 (337)
well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything	W 156 L 3 (337)
shares His Life is part of Holiness, and could no more	W 156 L 3 (337)
sun could choose to be of ice; the sea elect to	W 156 L 3 (337)
the world is sanctified because of you. All things that live	W 156 L 4 (337)
at your feet. The scent of flowers is their gift to	W 156 L 4 (337)
It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death	W 156 L 6 (338)
And in the little interval of doubt which still remains, you	W 156 L 7 (338)
you may perhaps lose sight of your Companion, and mistake Him	W 156 L 7 (338)
This is a day of silence and of trust. It	W 157 L 1 (339)
a day of silence and of trust. It is a special	W 157 L 1 (339)
It is a special time of promise in your calendar of	W 157 L 1 (339)
of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time	W 157 L 1 (339)
upon this day when echoes of eternity are heard. This day	W 157 L 1 (339)
new experience, a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have	W 157 L 1 (339)
learn to feel the joy of life. 2. This	W 157 L 1 (339)
and we catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest	W 157 L 2 (339)
we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only	W 157 L 2 (339)
you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return	W 157 L 3 (339)
you will return to paths of learning, yet you have come	W 157 L 3 (339)
meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you	W 157 L 5 (340)
think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today	W 157 L 5 (340)
touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God. 6. Your	W 157 L 5 (340)
now to bring the vision of what you experience this day	W 157 L 6 (340)
all goals but this become of little worth, the world to	W 157 L 7 (340)
little closer to the end of time; a little more like	W 157 L 7 (340)
you will have no need of it. Yet now it has	W 157 L 7 (340)
course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One, the	W 157 L 8 (340)
the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life	W 157 L 8 (340)
Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into	W 157 L 8 (340)
happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy	W 157 L 8 (340)
we enter now serenely unaware of everything except His shining Face	W 157 L 9 (340)
and perfect Love. The vision of His Face will stay with	W 157 L 9 (340)
learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you	W 157 L 9 (340)
vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant	W 157 L 9 (340)
because you were created out of Love. Nor have you left	W 158 L 1 (341)
is a trick; a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in	W 158 L 4 (341)
Spirit sees because the mind of Christ beholds it too.	W 158 L 5 (342)
Here is the joining of the world of doubt and	W 158 L 6 (342)
the joining of the world of doubt and shadows made with	W 158 L 6 (342)
pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin	W 158 L 7 (342)
thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation	W 158 L 7 (342)
events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.	W 158 L 7 (342)
Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that	W 158 L 8 (342)
merely disappear, because a vision of the holiness which lies beyond	W 158 L 9 (343)
and offer you the peace of God. 11. It	W 158 L 10 (343)
comes, for that is not of time. Yet time has still	W 158 L 11 (343)
practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the	W 158 L 11 (343)
own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the world agree	W 159 L 1 (344)
now by opening the storehouse of your mind where they are	W 159 L 2 (344)
Eternal Love and the rebirth of love which never dies, but	W 159 L 3 (344)
unmet, within this golden treasury of Christ. 7. Here	W 159 L 6 (345)
was to be the home of sin becomes the center of	W 159 L 7 (345)
of sin becomes the center of redemption and the hearth of	W 159 L 7 (345)
of redemption and the hearth of mercy, where the suffering are	W 159 L 7 (345)
him. No-one asks for anything of him except the gift of	W 159 L 7 (345)
of him except the gift of his acceptance of his welcoming	W 159 L 7 (345)
the gift of his acceptance of his welcoming 8.	W 159 L 7 (345)
ground in which the lilies of forgiveness set their roots. This	W 159 L 8 (345)
10. Behold the store of miracles set out for you	W 159 L 10 (346)
Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is	W 159 L 10 (346)
a stranger to the ways of love. Identify with fear, and	W 160 L 1 (347)
an alien to the part of you which thinks that it	W 160 L 1 (347)
me. Now is he exiled of necessity, not knowing who he	W 160 L 5 (348)
knowing who he is, uncertain of all things but this; that	W 160 L 5 (348)
Own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its Own.	W 160 L 6 (348)
is your Self as certain of Its Own as God is	W 160 L 7 (348)
Its Own as God is of His Son. He cannot be	W 160 L 7 (348)
about creation. He is sure of what belongs to Him. No	W 160 L 7 (348)
reality. He does not know of strangers. He is certain of	W 160 L 7 (348)
of strangers. He is certain of His Son. 8.	W 160 L 7 (348)
refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self	W 160 L 10 (349)
me your blessing, holy Son of God. 1	W 161 L 0 (350)
restored. Here is the Answer of the Voice of God.	W 161 L 1 (350)
the Answer of the Voice of God. 2. Complete	W 161 L 1 (350)
abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part of	W 161 L 2 (350)
of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It	W 161 L 2 (350)
It sees instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus	W 161 L 2 (350)
world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show	W 161 L 2 (350)
us from a different point of view, so we can see	W 161 L 3 (350)
thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words bring	W 161 L 4 (350)
Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form of fear	W 161 L 5 (351)
symbols of a concrete form of fear. Fear without symbols calls	W 161 L 5 (351)
This thought is surely reminiscent of our text, where it is	W 161 L 6 (351)
its sight presents the symbol of loves enemy Christs	W 161 L 6 (351)
else could be the seat of fear except what thinks of	W 161 L 6 (351)
of fear except what thinks of fear? 7. Hate	W 161 L 6 (351)
again. Mistake not the intensity of rage projected fear must spawn	W 161 L 8 (351)
see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember	W 161 L 10 (352)
Select one brother, symbol of the rest, and ask salvation	W 161 L 11 (352)
the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him first as	W 161 L 11 (352)
makes so frequently. Then think of this; what you are seeing	W 161 L 11 (352)
conceals from you the sight of one who can forgive you	W 161 L 11 (352)
away, and lift the crown of thorns which you have placed	W 161 L 11 (352)
your bleeding head. Ask this of him that he may set	W 161 L 11 (352)
me your blessing, holy Son of God, I would behold you	W 161 L 11 (352)
behold you with the eyes of Christ, And see my perfect	W 161 L 11 (352)
He will hear the Voice of God in you, and answer	W 161 L 12 (352)
perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you will	W 161 L 12 (352)
will not dispel; no thought of sin and no illusion that	W 162 L 2 (354)
might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the	W 162 L 2 (354)
time he practices the words of truth. 4. Today	W 162 L 3 (354)
themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So	W 162 L 4 (354)
grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for complete escape	W 162 L 5 (355)
you have recognized the Son of God, and in your recognition	W 162 L 6 (355)
is no death. The Son of God is free.	W 163 L 0 (356)
as anger, faithlessness and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy	W 163 L 1 (356)
such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as	W 163 L 1 (356)
but reflections of the worshipping of death as Savior and as	W 163 L 1 (356)
as Savior and as giver of release. 2. Embodiment	W 163 L 1 (356)
release. 2. Embodiment of fear, the host of sin	W 163 L 2 (356)
Embodiment of fear, the host of sin, god of the guilty	W 163 L 2 (356)
the host of sin, god of the guilty and the lord	W 163 L 2 (356)
the guilty and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does	W 163 L 2 (356)
and deceptions, does the thought of death seem mighty. For it	W 163 L 2 (356)
alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone	W 163 L 2 (356)
and to leave the taste of dust and ashes in their	W 163 L 3 (356)
in their wake in place of aspirations and of dreams. But	W 163 L 3 (356)
in place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted	W 163 L 3 (356)
is the strength and might of God Himself perceived within an	W 163 L 4 (356)
perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite	W 163 L 4 (356)
dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of	W 163 L 4 (356)
of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God	W 163 L 4 (356)
Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heavens perfect	W 163 L 4 (356)
constancy. Here is the Will of Father and of Son defeated	W 163 L 4 (356)
the Will of Father and of Son defeated finally, and laid	W 163 L 4 (356)
has placed upon the body of the holy Son of God	W 163 L 4 (356)
body of the holy Son of God. ---	W 163 L 4 (356)
7. The idea of the death of God is	W 163 L 7 (357)
The idea of the death of God is so preposterous that	W 163 L 7 (357)
look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in	W 163 L 9 (357)
like You and part of You forever. We accept Your	W 163 L 9 (358)
sight but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time	W 164 L 1 (359)
all He hears the song of Heaven and the Voice of	W 164 L 1 (359)
of Heaven and the Voice of God more clear, more meaningful	W 164 L 1 (359)
lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought	W 164 L 4 (359)
holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All	W 164 L 4 (359)
balance righted, and the scales of judgment left to Him Who	W 164 L 5 (360)
see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation	W 164 L 5 (360)
becomes the healing and salvation of the world. The valuable and	W 164 L 6 (360)
are. And what is worthy of your love receives your love	W 164 L 6 (360)
practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from	W 164 L 7 (360)
stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world	W 164 L 7 (360)
and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of	W 164 L 8 (360)
of salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to	W 164 L 8 (360)
my mind deny the Thought of God. 1	W 165 L 0 (362)
real except your own denial of the truth which lies beyond	W 165 L 1 (362)
beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the	W 165 L 1 (362)
2. The Thought of God created you. It left	W 165 L 2 (362)
live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with	W 165 L 2 (362)
left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for	W 165 L 2 (362)
your mind because the Thought of God has left you not	W 165 L 2 (362)
his healing and his peace of mind, his quiet rest, his	W 165 L 3 (362)
blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come	W 165 L 5 (363)
denial and accept the Thought of God as its inheritance.	W 165 L 5 (363)
you are among the Saviors of the world. Your destiny lies	W 165 L 6 (363)
forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs to	W 165 L 6 (363)
is certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness	W 165 L 7 (363)
between Him and your certainty of Him. We count on Him	W 165 L 7 (363)
our every fear. The Thought of Him is still beyond all	W 165 L 7 (363)
am entrusted with the gifts of God. 1	W 166 L 0 (364)
paradox that underlies the making of the world. This world is	W 166 L 2 (364)
world is not the Will of God, and so it is	W 166 L 2 (364)
3. The gifts of God are not acceptable to	W 166 L 3 (364)
him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he sees about	W 166 L 5 (364)
you might catch a glimpse of truth, and be released from	W 166 L 7 (365)
you laugh at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then	W 166 L 8 (365)
self-pity then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought	W 166 L 8 (365)
you have need no more of anything but this. 11	W 166 L 10 (366)
have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you, and speaks	W 166 L 11 (366)
poverty oppresses you, and speaks of His Companionship when you perceive	W 166 L 11 (366)
Yet He reminds you still of one thing more you had	W 166 L 12 (366)
God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God	W 166 L 12 (366)
you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when	W 166 L 12 (366)
now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way	W 166 L 13 (366)
those who feel the touch of Christ and recognize Gods	W 166 L 13 (366)
will now betray the hopes of those who look to you	W 166 L 14 (367)
Your hand becomes the giver of Christs touch; your change	W 166 L 14 (367)
Christs touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that	W 166 L 14 (367)
not. Become the living proof of what Christs touch can	W 166 L 15 (367)
gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission	W 166 L 15 (367)
For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who	W 166 L 15 (367)
There are not different kinds of life, for life is like	W 167 L 1 (368)
have learned that the idea of death takes many forms. It	W 167 L 2 (368)
to which you give response of any kind that is not	W 167 L 2 (368)
pain, even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or	W 167 L 2 (368)
You think that death is of the body. Yet it is	W 167 L 3 (368)
heal. It is the cause of healing. It is why you	W 167 L 3 (368)
conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you	W 167 L 4 (368)
die is but the sign of mind asleep. 7.	W 167 L 6 (369)
7. The opposite of life can only be another	W 167 L 7 (369)
can only be another form of life. As such, it can	W 167 L 7 (369)
share with them. The thought of death is not the opposite	W 167 L 8 (369)
not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites	W 167 L 8 (369)
life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the Thoughts of	W 167 L 8 (369)
of any kind, the Thoughts of God remain forever changeless, with	W 167 L 8 (369)
seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When	W 167 L 9 (369)
sleep a while. It dreams of time; an interval in which	W 167 L 9 (369)
Let us today be children of the truth, and not deny	W 167 L 10 (370)
an instant where the Thought of Life Eternal has been set	W 167 L 10 (370)
and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. And	W 167 L 11 (370)
He created in a Unity of life which cannot separate in	W 167 L 11 (370)
death and leave the Source of Life from where It came	W 167 L 11 (370)
own perfection mirroring the Lord of Life so perfectly it fades	W 167 L 12 (370)
you but knew the meaning of His Love, hope and despair	W 168 L 2 (371)
would be forever satisfied; despair of any kind unthinkable. His grace	W 168 L 2 (371)
for in it lies remembrance of His Love. Would He not	W 168 L 2 (371)
by your acknowledgment. And memory of Him awakens in the mind	W 168 L 2 (371)
mind which asks the means of Him whereby its sleep is	W 168 L 2 (371)
3. Today we ask of God the gift He has	W 168 L 3 (371)
and sweeps away the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of	W 168 L 3 (371)
of our sleep. His gift of grace is more than just	W 168 L 3 (371)
sleeping mind forgot; all certainty of what loves meaning is	W 168 L 3 (371)
Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which	W 169 L 1 (373)
an aspect of the Love of God which is most like	W 169 L 1 (373)
state prevailing in the Unity of truth. It is the world	W 169 L 1 (373)
past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come	W 169 L 1 (373)
2. Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within	W 169 L 2 (373)
is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of	W 169 L 2 (373)
of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By	W 169 L 2 (373)
are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the	W 169 L 2 (373)
can not believe the world of fear is real. 3	W 169 L 2 (373)
our statement that the revelation of the Father and the Son	W 169 L 4 (373)
bear witness to the Word of God to hasten the experience	W 169 L 4 (373)
God to hasten the experience of truth, and speed its advent	W 169 L 4 (373)
speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel	W 169 L 5 (374)
that it is now aware of something not itself. It has	W 169 L 5 (374)
nor write nor even think of this at all. It comes	W 169 L 6 (374)
beyond salvation; past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy	W 169 L 6 (374)
forgiveness, and the holy Face of Christ. The Son of God	W 169 L 6 (374)
Face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into	W 169 L 6 (374)
Name, and in the Name of His Creators Son.	W 169 L 9 (374)
world can understand. When revelation of your Oneness comes, it will	W 169 L 10 (375)
those in time can speak of things beyond, and listen to	W 169 L 10 (375)
does not replace the thought of time but for a little	W 169 L 12 (375)
What is the Face of Christ but his who went	W 169 L 13 (375)
and brought a clear reflection of the Unity he felt an	W 169 L 13 (375)
it forever, while a part of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened	W 169 L 13 (375)
unknowing, unawakened and in need of you as witness to the	W 169 L 13 (375)
what we ask this day of Him Who gives the grace	W 169 L 15 (376)
protection; you are safe because of cruelty. You mean that you	W 170 L 1 (377)
war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind into	W 170 L 3 (377)
your defense against the threat of what you really are.	W 170 L 3 (377)
and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside	W 170 L 4 (377)
Next are the attributes of love bestowed upon its enemy	W 170 L 5 (378)
becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you	W 170 L 5 (378)
about your strength and hope of rest in dreamless quiet. And	W 170 L 5 (378)
And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and	W 170 L 5 (378)
love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would ask	W 170 L 5 (378)
him, he is but made of stone. He can do nothing	W 170 L 7 (378)
can also be the time of your release from abject slavery	W 170 L 8 (378)
lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make	W 170 L 8 (378)
replace it? For the god of cruelty takes many forms. Another	W 170 L 8 (378)
seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful	W 170 L 9 (378)
W(379) Of God himself. Here is the	W 170 L 9 (379)
premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god. For fear	W 170 L 9 (379)
totally insane belief in gods of vengeance come from? Love has	W 170 L 10 (379)
confused its attributes with those of fear. Yet must the worshippers	W 170 L 10 (379)
fear. Yet must the worshippers of fear perceive their own confusion	W 170 L 10 (379)
cruelty as now a part of love. And what becomes more	W 170 L 10 (379)
more fearful than the Heart of Love Itself? The blood appears	W 170 L 10 (379)
last time upon this bit of carven stone you made, and	W 170 L 11 (379)
form, and so the fear of God returned with you. This	W 170 L 11 (379)
have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given	W 170 L 12 (379)
you at last. The Call of God is heard and answered	W 170 L 12 (379)
are preparing for another phase of understanding. We would take this	W 170 RV 1 (381)
one but clarifies some aspect of this thought, or helps it	W 170 RV 4 (381)
and true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share	W 170 RV 4 (381)
changes from Its constant state of union with Its Father and	W 170 RV 4 (381)
to open up the path of light to us, and teach	W 170 RV 5 (382)
world that it is free of all illusion every time we	W 170 RV 10 (383)
this we start each day of our review. With this we	W 170 RV 11 (383)
start and end each period of practice time. And with this	W 170 RV 11 (383)
the beginning and the end of practice periods, but to recall	W 170 RV 12 (384)
as we approach the Source of meaning. It is here that	W 170 RV 12 (384)
151) All things are echoes of the Voice of God. God	W 171 RV 1 (385)
are echoes of the Voice of God. God is but Love	W 171 RV 1 (385)
2. 152) The power of decision is my own. God	W 171 RV 2 (385)
I am among the ministers of God. God is but Love	W 172 RV 2 (385)
me your blessing, holy Son of God. God is but Love	W 176 RV 1 (386)
is no death. The Son of God is free. God is	W 177 RV 1 (386)
my mind deny the Thought of God. God is but Love	W 178 RV 1 (386)
am entrusted with the gifts of God. God is but Love	W 178 RV 2 (386)
lessons make a special point of firming up your willingness to	W 180 IN2 1 (387)
order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment will	W 180 IN2 1 (387)
let you see the value of our goal. We are attempting	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
can not convey the sense of liberation which their lifting brings	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
lifting brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
the experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
give up your tight control of what you see speaks for	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
so intensified that words become of little consequence. You will be	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
consequence. You will be sure of what you want, and what	W 180 IN2 2 (387)
impedes our progress still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains	W 180 IN2 3 (387)
to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When	W 181 L 1 (388)
becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond	W 181 L 1 (388)
for us within this interval of time wherein we practice changing	W 181 L 3 (388)
but defenses against present change of focus in perception. Nothing more	W 181 L 5 (389)
We enter in the time of practicing with one intent; to	W 181 L 5 (389)
seems to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but	W 181 L 7 (389)
seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes	W 181 L 8 (390)
true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the	W 181 L 8 (390)
upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows	W 181 L 9 (390)
sin, and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness.	W 181 L 9 (390)
sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is our	W 181 L 10 (390)
find a star; a miracle of grace. The sick arise, healed	W 182 L 3 (391)
grace. The sick arise, healed of their sickly thoughts. The blind	W 182 L 3 (391)
their mourning, and the tears of pain are dried as happy	W 182 L 3 (391)
4. Repeat the Name of God and little names have	W 182 L 4 (391)
you will forget the names of all the gods you valued	W 182 L 4 (391)
They have lost the name of god you gave them. They	W 182 L 4 (391)
before you let the Name of God replace their little names	W 182 L 4 (391)
5. Repeat the Name of God and call upon your	W 182 L 5 (392)
who call upon the Name of God can not mistake the	W 182 L 5 (392)
bodies for the holy Son of God. And should you join	W 182 L 5 (392)
meaning, and the only Name of everything that we desire to	W 182 L 6 (392)
that we desire to see; of everything that we would call	W 182 L 6 (392)
He hears the little prayers of those who call on Him	W 182 L 7 (392)
call on Him with names of idols cherished by the world	W 182 L 7 (392)
acknowledge Him as sole Creator of Reality. And you acknowledge also	W 182 L 7 (392)
that His Son is part of Him, creating in His Name	W 182 L 7 (392)
you will experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all	W 182 L 9 (393)
You can escape all bondage of the world, and give the	W 182 L 9 (393)
Turn to the Name of God for your release, and	W 182 L 10 (393)
their place the holy Name of God becomes his judgment of	W 182 L 10 (393)
of God becomes his judgment of their worthlessness. 11.	W 182 L 10 (393)
soundless now. The little things of earth have disappeared. The universe	W 182 L 11 (393)
have disappeared. The universe consists of nothing but the Son of	W 182 L 11 (393)
of nothing but the Son of God who calls upon his	W 182 L 11 (393)
this is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as	W 183 L 1 (394)
is the Voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an	W 183 L 1 (394)
maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be	W 183 L 2 (394)
would find again. The childhood of your body and its place	W 183 L 4 (394)
your body and its place of shelter are a memory now	W 183 L 4 (394)
you merely hold a picture of a past that never happened	W 183 L 4 (394)
to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are	W 183 L 4 (394)
than just a few instants of respite; just an interval in	W 183 L 5 (395)
and harsh and rasping noises of the world. Yet does He	W 183 L 6 (395)
would not fail. He whispers of His home unceasingly to you	W 183 L 7 (395)
an outcast in a world of alien thoughts. His patience has	W 183 L 7 (395)
Child that you might learn of Him how strong is he	W 183 L 9 (396)
enemy. He holds the might of Heaven in His hand and	W 183 L 9 (396)
exchange for all the toys of battle you have made. And	W 183 L 12 (396)
Lesson 184. The Name of God is my inheritance.	W 184 L 0 (398)
this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate	W 184 L 1 (398)
name; all happenings in terms of place and time; all bodies	W 184 L 1 (398)
the world becomes a series of discrete events, of things ununified	W 184 L 3 (398)
a series of discrete events, of things ununified, of bodies kept	W 184 L 3 (398)
discrete events, of things ununified, of bodies kept apart and holding	W 184 L 3 (398)
kept apart and holding bits of mind as separate awarenesses? You	W 184 L 3 (398)
seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects, with consequence inherent	W 184 L 3 (398)
enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little things, and looks upon	W 184 L 4 (398)
upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity	W 184 L 4 (398)
lack of space, a sense of unity or vision which sees	W 184 L 4 (398)
This is the sum of the inheritance the world bestows	W 184 L 6 (399)
its presence is the proof of sanity. 7. Such	W 184 L 6 (399)
Such is the teaching of the world. It is a	W 184 L 7 (399)
world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must	W 184 L 7 (399)
world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place	W 184 L 7 (399)
point from which another kind of learning can begin, a new	W 184 L 7 (399)
to go beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever	W 184 L 9 (400)
need to use the symbols of the world a while. But	W 184 L 9 (400)
day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory	W 184 L 10 (400)
things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then	W 184 L 10 (400)
symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet accept them not	W 184 L 11 (400)
The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not	W 184 L 11 (400)
forget they share the Name of God along with you.	W 184 L 11 (400)
and separation healed. The Name of God is the inheritance He	W 184 L 12 (400)
those who chose the teaching of the world to take the	W 184 L 12 (400)
world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our	W 184 L 12 (400)
fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience	W 184 L 13 (401)
the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to	W 184 L 13 (401)
different name for each awareness of an aspect of Gods	W 184 L 14 (401)
each awareness of an aspect of Gods Son, we understand	W 184 L 14 (401)
that we may be absolved of all effects our errors seemed	W 184 L 15 (401)

intent. To each, the hero of the dream is different; the	W 185 L 3 (402)
changing patterns, as the ratio of gain to loss and loss	W 185 L 3 (402)
Sometimes it takes the form of union, but only the form	W 185 L 4 (402)
for compromising is the goal of dreaming. Minds cannot unite in	W 185 L 4 (402)
can give them the peace of God? Illusions come to take	W 185 L 4 (402)
mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all	W 185 L 5 (403)
their only difference is one of form, for one will bring	W 185 L 5 (403)
say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle	W 185 L 7 (403)
the eternal in the place of shifting dreams which seem to	W 185 L 7 (403)
practice periods to careful searching of your mind, to find the	W 185 L 8 (403)
one question should be asked of all of them; Is this	W 185 L 8 (404)
should be asked of all of them; Is this what I	W 185 L 8 (404)
I would have in place of Heaven and the peace of	W 185 L 8 (404)
of Heaven and the peace of God? 9. This	W 185 L 8 (404)
with every twist and turning of the road, to reappear unrecognized	W 185 L 9 (404)
You want the peace of God. And so do all	W 185 L 10 (404)
in your purpose, and unsure of what you wanted, where to	W 185 L 10 (404)
would you not avail yourself of it by sharing it?	W 185 L 10 (404)
who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find	W 185 L 11 (404)
his to give? The peace of God is yours. 12	W 185 L 11 (404)
to you alone? No gift of God can be unshared. It	W 185 L 12 (404)
attribute which sets the gifts of God apart from every dream	W 185 L 12 (404)
seemed to take the place of truth. ---	W 185 L 12 (404)
must gain whenever any gift of God has been requested and	W 185 L 13 (405)
our desires with the need of every heart, the call of	W 185 L 14 (405)
of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that	W 185 L 14 (405)

1970 Lesson 186. Salvation of the world depends on me	W 186 L 0 (406)
mind. Here is the thought of true humility which holds no	W 186 L 1 (406)
you. It offers your acceptance of a part assigned to you	W 186 L 1 (406)
It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth	W 186 L 1 (406)
that would deny the Call of God Himself. 4.	W 186 L 3 (406)
Arrogance makes an image of yourself that is not real	W 186 L 6 (407)
weak, as is the image of yourself. You are not ignorant	W 186 L 6 (407)
not near the holy home of God. 7. All	W 186 L 6 (407)
crumble. Let it go. Salvation of the world depends on you	W 186 L 7 (407)
not upon this little pile of dust. What can it tell	W 186 L 7 (407)
it tell the holy Son of God? Why need he be	W 186 L 7 (407)
from mourner to ecstatic bliss of love and loving. We can	W 186 L 8 (407)
Is this the Son of God? Could He create such	W 186 L 9 (408)
their most secure. What hope of gain can rest on goals	W 186 L 10 (408)
unambiguous. There is no doubt of its validity. It comes from	W 186 L 11 (408)
And His Voice is certain of Its messages. They will not	W 186 L 11 (408)
nor be in conflict. All of them point to one goal	W 186 L 11 (408)
if It asks a thing of you that seems impossible, remember	W 186 L 12 (408)
that speaks for the Creator of all things, Who knows all	W 186 L 12 (408)
are, or a distorted image of yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and	W 186 L 12 (408)
confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of everything? Let not its voice	W 186 L 12 (408)

Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which as it is	W 186 L 14 (409)
you is greater still. Salvation of the world depends on you	W 186 L 14 (409)
In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this	W 187 L 1 (410)
upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning	W 187 L 3 (410)
you value by the act of giving them away, and you	W 187 L 4 (410)
the thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.	W 187 L 4 (410)
the sense the world conceives of them. There is a giver	W 187 L 5 (411)
must laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail	W 187 L 6 (411)
and you remove the thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on	W 187 L 7 (411)
what it is. The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all	W 187 L 7 (411)
give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long	W 187 L 8 (411)
long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and	W 187 L 8 (411)
lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes	W 187 L 9 (412)
great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before	W 187 L 9 (412)
will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the	W 187 L 9 (412)

one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence	W 187 L 10 (412)
as we received. The Name of God is on our lips	W 187 L 10 (412)
within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection	W 187 L 10 (412)
Heaven shine in our reflection of our Fathers Love.	W 187 L 10 (412)

your mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and	W 188 L 4 (413)

thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become	W 188 L 6 (414)
yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. These thoughts you	W 188 L 6 (414)
for what you are, instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind	W 188 L 7 (414)
that you are the co-creator of all things that live. For	W 188 L 7 (414)
live. For as the peace of God is shining in you	W 188 L 7 (414)
wash them clean of strange desires and disordered wishes	W 188 L 8 (415)
restore to them the holiness of their inheritance. 9.	W 188 L 8 (415)
we acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in us	W 188 L 9 (415)
all, absolving all the world of what we thought it did	W 188 L 9 (415)
that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation	W 188 L 9 (415)
as we say: The peace of God is shining in me	W 188 L 9 (415)
189. I feel the Love of God within me now.	W 189 L 0 (416)
This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now	W 189 L 1 (416)
now. To feel the Love of God within you is to	W 189 L 1 (416)
you safe from every form of danger and of pain. It	W 189 L 2 (416)
every form of danger and of pain. It offers you a	W 189 L 2 (416)
the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It sees	W 189 L 2 (416)
is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so	W 189 L 3 (416)
you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that	W 189 L 3 (416)
darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one belies the	W 189 L 3 (416)
those who see a world of hatred, rising from attack, poised	W 189 L 3 (416)
Yet is the world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable	W 189 L 4 (416)
out from the endless wells of joy within. What they have	W 189 L 4 (416)
your mind forget this law of seeing: You will look upon	W 189 L 5 (417)
If you feel the Love of God within you, you look	W 189 L 5 (417)
look out upon a world of mercy and of love.	W 189 L 5 (417)
a world of mercy and of love. 6. Today	W 189 L 5 (417)
the snares the foolish convolutions of the worlds apparent reasoning	W 189 L 6 (417)
and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what	W 189 L 7 (417)
about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either	W 189 L 7 (417)
false or good or bad; of every thought it judges worthy	W 189 L 7 (417)
worthy and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold	W 189 L 7 (417)
Love will blaze Its pathway of Itself. What has not been	W 189 L 9 (418)
You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are or who	W 189 L 10 (418)

form, it is a proof of self-deception. It is not a	W 190 L 1 (419)
God the Fathers hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He	W 190 L 1 (419)
is. It is a dream of fierce retaliation for a crime	W 190 L 2 (419)
unassailable. It is a nightmare of abandonment by an Eternal Love	W 190 L 2 (419)
Son whom It created out of love. 3. Pain	W 190 L 2 (419)
sign illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates God is	W 190 L 3 (419)
For vengeance is not part of love, and fear, denying love	W 190 L 3 (419)
The body is the Son of God, corruptible in death, as	W 190 L 3 (419)
is no need to think of them as savage crimes or	W 190 L 4 (419)
but a madman could conceive of them as cause of anything	W 190 L 4 (419)
conceive of them as cause of anything? Their witness, pain, is	W 190 L 4 (419)
fearful now becomes a source of innocence and holiness. 6	W 190 L 5 (420)
My holy brothers, think of this awhile; the world you	W 190 L 6 (420)
mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really	W 190 L 6 (420)
you deny a little corner of your mind its own inheritance	W 190 L 6 (420)
it evil dreams. Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear	W 190 L 7 (420)
Pain is the thought of evil taking form, and working	W 190 L 8 (420)
give way before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits	W 190 L 8 (420)
last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let	W 190 L 9 (421)
all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter	W 190 L 9 (421)
Lay down the cruel sword of judgment that you hold against	W 190 L 9 (421)
pain. Here does the joy of God belong to you. This	W 190 L 10 (421)
the lesson which contains all of salvations power. It is	W 190 L 10 (421)
to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place	W 190 L 11 (421)
pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of God	W 190 L 11 (421)
place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and	W 190 L 11 (421)
the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of	W 190 L 11 (421)
of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of	W 190 L 11 (421)
of Heaven for the darkness of the world.	W 190 L 11 (421)
I am the holy Son of God Himself	W 191 L 0 (422)
Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the	W 191 L 1 (422)
declaration of release from bondage of the world. And here as	W 191 L 1 (422)
to the world the role of jailor to the Son of	W 191 L 1 (422)
of jailor to the Son of God. What could it be	W 191 L 1 (422)
but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows, punitive and wild, lacking	W 191 L 1 (422)
sound that does not speak of frailty within you and without	W 191 L 2 (422)
a friend, a tiny particle of dust against the legions of	W 191 L 3 (422)
of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own	W 191 L 3 (422)
from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but	W 191 L 3 (422)
proclaimed to be forever part of everything; the central core of	W 191 L 4 (422)
of everything; the central core of its existence and its guarantee	W 191 L 4 (422)
its existence and its guarantee of immortality. ---	W 191 L 4 (422)

that changed his whole perception of the world. 6.	W 191 L 5 (423)
you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this	W 191 L 6 (423)
it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You will not	W 191 L 6 (423)
not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in	W 191 L 6 (423)
fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart.	W 191 L 6 (423)
I am the holy Son of God Himself. I cannot suffer	W 191 L 7 (423)
ancient caverns where the rites of death echoed since time began	W 191 L 8 (423)
upon the world. The Son of God has come in glory	W 191 L 8 (423)
give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see	W 191 L 8 (423)
do. You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully	W 191 L 9 (424)
play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to	W 191 L 9 (424)
Then let the Son of God awaken from his sleep	W 191 L 10 (424)
will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we will	W 191 L 10 (424)
sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me	W 191 L 10 (424)
They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find	W 191 L 11 (424)
You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and	W 191 L 11 (424)
Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love	W 192 L 1 (425)
function mean within a world of envy, hatred and attack?	W 192 L 1 (425)
Creation cannot even be conceived of in the world. It has	W 192 L 3 (425)
He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to	W 192 L 3 (425)
to waking that the light of day already shines in them	W 192 L 3 (425)
slate on which the Word of God can now replace the	W 192 L 4 (425)
means by which the fear of death is overcome because it	W 192 L 4 (425)
die, nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger becomes impossible	W 192 L 5 (426)
who have lost the source of all attack; the core of	W 192 L 5 (426)
of all attack; the core of anguish and the seat of	W 192 L 5 (426)
of anguish and the seat of fear? Only forgiveness can relieve	W 192 L 5 (426)
forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is	W 192 L 5 (426)
s vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked	W 192 L 6 (426)
understand is but confusion born of error. We are lost in	W 192 L 7 (426)
We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful thoughts	W 192 L 7 (426)
everyone he sees or thinks of or imagines? Who could be	W 192 L 8 (426)
to liberty depends for both of them. ---	W 192 L 8 (426)
hold no-one prisoner. Release instead of bind, for thus are you	W 192 L 9 (427)
time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a	W 192 L 9 (427)
your Savior from the prison-house of death. And so you owe	W 192 L 9 (427)
you owe him thanks instead of pain. 10. Be	W 192 L 9 (427)
Be merciful today. The Son of God deserves your mercy. It	W 192 L 10 (427)
God does not know of learning. Yet His Will extends	W 193 L 1 (428)
the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and	W 193 L 1 (428)
eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open	W 193 L 1 (428)
enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it. It	W 193 L 2 (428)
thought, the same in all of them. The form alone is	W 193 L 3 (428)
recognized as easily in all of them, if one but wants	W 193 L 4 (428)
your pain, all suffering regardless of its forms. These are the	W 193 L 5 (429)
words which end the dream of sin, and rid the mind	W 193 L 5 (429)
sin, and rid the mind of fear. These are the words	W 193 L 5 (429)
death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn	W 193 L 6 (429)
the next one is free of the one before. The chains	W 193 L 12 (430)
the one before. The chains of time are easily unloosened in	W 193 L 12 (430)
peace eternal in the world of time. 13. This	W 193 L 12 (430)
to Him and to salvation of the world.	W 193 L 13 (430)
To all that speaks of terror, answer thus: I will	W 193 L 13 (431)
every care, and every form of suffering repeat these selfsame words	W 193 L 13 (431)
gate, and brings the Love of God the Father down to	W 193 L 13 (431)
the future in the hands of God. 1	W 194 L 0 (432)
sets you down just short of Heaven, with the goal in	W 194 L 1 (432)
s gate; the quiet place of peace where you await with	W 194 L 1 (432)
with certainty the final step of God. How far are we	W 194 L 1 (432)
passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression	W 194 L 2 (432)
pits of hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and	W 194 L 2 (432)
all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about	W 194 L 2 (432)
Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain	W 194 L 3 (432)
asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in time	W 194 L 4 (432)
present, freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain	W 194 L 5 (433)
bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the	W 194 L 5 (433)
which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs its	W 194 L 5 (433)
make it be a part of you. As it becomes a	W 194 L 6 (433)
your problem-solving repertoire, a way of quick reaction to temptation, you	W 194 L 6 (433)
future to the loving hands of God? What can he suffer	W 194 L 7 (433)
him pain, or bring experience of loss to him? What can	W 194 L 7 (433)
who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his	W 194 L 7 (433)
to present peace, and certainty of care the world can never	W 194 L 7 (433)
your future in the hands of God. For thus you call	W 194 L 8 (433)
thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing	W 194 L 8 (433)
again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the	W 194 L 8 (433)
and evil with the truth of love. Think you the world	W 194 L 8 (433)
lays aside the sick illusions of the world along with his	W 194 L 8 (433)
alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world	W 195 L 1 (435)
insane to offer thanks because of suffering. But it is equally	W 195 L 2 (435)
can bargain in the Name of love? ---	W 195 L 4 (435)
or who walk the way of hatred and the path of	W 195 L 5 (436)
of hatred and the path of death. All these go with	W 195 L 5 (436)
fail to recognize the gifts of God to us. 7	W 195 L 6 (436)
then, in gratitude the way of love. For hatred is forgotten	W 195 L 8 (436)
obstacles to peace? The fear of God is now undone at	W 195 L 8 (436)
Today we learn to think of gratitude in place of anger	W 195 L 9 (437)
think of gratitude in place of anger, malice and revenge. We	W 195 L 9 (437)
regards us in a place of merciless pursuit, where we are	W 195 L 9 (437)
than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in hand	W 195 L 10 (437)
gratitude is but an aspect of the love which is the	W 195 L 10 (437)
love which is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks	W 195 L 10 (437)
Own completion and the Source of love, along with Him. Your	W 195 L 10 (437)
no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go	W 195 L 10 (437)
yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to	W 196 L 1 (438)
todays idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts	W 196 L 3 (438)
resurrection, looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to	W 196 L 3 (438)
all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of liberation	W 196 L 3 (438)
and of death to thoughts of liberation and of life.	W 196 L 3 (438)
to thoughts of liberation and of life. 4. Today	W 196 L 3 (438)
from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let us take	W 196 L 4 (438)
one instant by the grace of God. ---	W 196 L 4 (438)
for the belief the fear of God is real. And what	W 196 L 5 (439)
the universe, without the fear of hell upon his heart?	W 196 L 5 (439)
Such is the form of madness you believe, if you	W 196 L 6 (439)
there be escape? The fear of God is real to anyone	W 196 L 6 (439)
much as will permit fear of retaliation to abate, and the	W 196 L 7 (439)
your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do	W 196 L 8 (439)
terror from the deadly fear of God projection hides behind. The	W 196 L 9 (440)
you are free, and glad of freedom. You have sought to	W 196 L 9 (440)
your mortal enemy; the source of fear. 11. Now	W 196 L 10 (440)
which salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you	W 196 L 11 (440)
There is no Thought of God that does not go	W 196 L 12 (440)
and forever. When the fear of God is gone, there are	W 196 L 12 (440)
you and the holy peace of God. How kind and merciful	W 196 L 12 (440)
deceptions which would cheat you of defenses to ensure that when	W 197 L 1 (441)
they be a lasting offering of a thankful heart released from	W 197 L 3 (441)
thankfully acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you	W 197 L 4 (441)
can never think the gifts of God are lent but for	W 197 L 6 (442)
then. And with the end of this belief is fear forever	W 197 L 6 (442)
for gratitude remains a part of love. Thanks be to you	W 197 L 7 (442)
to you, the holy Son of God, for as you were	W 197 L 7 (442)
can you dim the light of your perfection. In your heart	W 197 L 7 (442)
In your heart the Heart of God is laid. He holds	W 197 L 7 (442)
gratitude belongs to you because of what you are. 8	W 197 L 7 (442)
receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who	W 197 L 8 (442)
with Him the holy Thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude	W 197 L 8 (442)
for freedom is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus	W 197 L 2 (443)
end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a	W 197 L 3 (443)
because it is a dream of waking. It is not itself	W 197 L 3 (443)
gives direction with the certainty of God Himself. It is a	W 197 L 3 (443)
dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self	W 197 L 3 (443)
only road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and	W 197 L 4 (443)
this one is the plan of God Himself? And why should	W 197 L 4 (443)
lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His Words	W 197 L 5 (444)
substitute your own in place of His? 6. His	W 197 L 5 (444)
Words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the	W 197 L 6 (444)
will fade away, the Word of God will come to take	W 197 L 6 (444)
and that the holy Son of God can die! 8	W 197 L 7 (444)
8. The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched	W 197 L 8 (444)
thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need	W 197 L 8 (444)
which could need forgiveness. Dreams of any kind are strange and	W 197 L 8 (444)
there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide	W 197 L 9 (445)
can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.	W 197 L 9 (445)
with it, as the Face of Christ appears unveiled at last	W 197 L 10 (445)
trespasses you thought them guilty of, and see your innocence shining	W 197 L 10 (445)
upon you from the Face of Christ. 11. Now	W 197 L 10 (445)
there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense	W 197 L 11 (445)
tranquil light across the face of earth, made quiet in a	W 197 L 11 (445)
sleep. And now the Word of God alone remains upon it	W 197 L 11 (445)
holiness. He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him	W 197 L 12 (445)
his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the Son	W 197 L 12 (445)
offering forgiveness to the Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to	W 197 L 12 (445)
the Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that	W 197 L 12 (445)
itself, you see the vision of yourself and then you disappear	W 197 L 12 (445)
still nearer to the end of everything that yet would stand	W 197 L 13 (446)
all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by	W 199 L 2 (447)
been given to the Source of Love, and fear can never	W 199 L 2 (447)
made. It is a part of the illusion which has sheltered	W 199 L 3 (447)
because you have no need of it except the need the	W 199 L 4 (447)
day. Make it a part of every practice period you take	W 199 L 5 (448)
well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with	W 199 L 5 (448)
be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you give?	W 199 L 5 (448)
Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom	W 199 L 6 (448)
mind with but the thought of freedom as its goal, the	W 199 L 6 (448)
it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the mind	W 199 L 6 (448)
Holy Spirit can make use of your escape from bondage to	W 199 L 7 (448)
offers thanks at the increase of joy your practice brings even	W 199 L 8 (448)
no peace except the peace of God. 1	W 200 L 0 (449)
find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and	W 200 L 1 (449)
and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak	W 200 L 1 (449)
disappointments, bleak despair, and sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek	W 200 L 1 (449)
to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for	W 200 L 1 (449)
to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there is	W 200 L 2 (449)
happiness where there is none; of being saved by what can	W 200 L 2 (449)
by what can only hurt; of making peace of chaos, joy	W 200 L 2 (449)
only hurt; of making peace of chaos, joy of pain and	W 200 L 2 (449)
making peace of chaos, joy of pain and Heaven out of	W 200 L 2 (449)
of pain and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to	W 200 L 2 (449)
your mind about the purpose of the world, if you would	W 200 L 5 (450)
blessed, and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as	W 200 L 5 (450)
function. Is not the escape of Gods beloved Son from	W 200 L 6 (450)
no peace except the peace of God because He has one	W 200 L 7 (450)
way, and find the peace of God. 8. Peace	W 200 L 7 (450)
fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond	W 200 L 8 (450)
freedom lies within the peace of God. ---	W 200 L 8 (450)
road is carpeted with leaves of false desires, fallen from the	W 200 L 10 (451)
desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought before. Now	W 200 L 10 (451)
found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only	W 200 L 11 (451)
way to leave the world of ambiguity, and to replace our	W 200 L 11 (451)
is union if it be of God. We seek no further	W 200 L 11 (451)
no peace except the peace of God, And I am glad	W 200 L 11 (451)
you can between them. Each of these ideas alone would be	W 200 RVI 1 (452)
the world from every form of bondage, and invite the memory	W 200 RVI 1 (452)
bondage, and invite the memory of God to come again.	W 200 RVI 1 (452)
Beyond this, and a repetition of the special thought we practice	W 200 RVI 3 (452)
for the day, no form of exercise is urged, except a	W 200 RVI 3 (452)
urged, except a deep relinquishment of everything that clutters up the	W 200 RVI 3 (452)
all words and special forms of practicing for this review. For	W 200 RVI 4 (452)
to the serenity and peace of God. We merely close our	W 200 RVI 4 (452)
one exception to this lack of structuring. Permit no idle thought	W 200 RVI 5 (453)
let it take the place of what you thought. Beyond such	W 200 RVI 6 (453)
thought. Beyond such special applications of each days idea, we	W 200 RVI 6 (453)
Instead we give these times of quiet to the Teacher Who	W 200 RVI 6 (453)
Who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives our thoughts	W 200 RVI 6 (453)
best become a loving gift of freedom to the world.	W 200 RVI 7 (453)
God, my Father, One Creator of the Whole that is my	W 201 RVI 1 (454)
on my own. The Name of God is my deliverance from	W 203 RVI 1 (454)
my deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because	W 203 RVI 1 (454)
every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my	W 203 RVI 1 (454)
1. 184) The Name of God is my inheritance. God	W 204 RVI 1 (454)
laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God	W 204 RVI 1 (454)
185) I want the peace of God. The peace of God	W 205 RVI 1 (455)
peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want	W 205 RVI 1 (455)
everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal	W 205 RVI 1 (455)
my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the	W 205 RVI 1 (455)
1. 186) Salvation of the world depends on me	W 206 RVI 1 (455)
am entrusted with the gifts of God, because I am His	W 206 RVI 1 (455)
1. 188) The peace of God is shining in me	W 208 RVI 1 (455)
we will find the peace of God. It is within my	W 208 RVI 1 (455)
189) I feel the Love of God within me now. The	W 209 RVI 1 (456)
within me now. The Love of God is what created me	W 209 RVI 1 (456)
what created me. The Love of God is everything I am	W 209 RVI 1 (456)
everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His	W 209 RVI 1 (456)
as His Son. The Love of God within me sets me	W 209 RVI 1 (456)
190) I choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain	W 210 RVI 1 (456)
the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my own	W 210 RVI 1 (456)
It is not a thought of God, but one I thought	W 210 RVI 1 (456)
And that I choose instead of what I made. Lesson	W 210 RVI 1 (456)
I am the holy Son of God Himself. In silence and	W 211 RVI 1 (456)
from all the vain illusions of the world. Only the function	W 212 RVI 1 (456)
offers to me, in place of thoughts I made that hurt	W 213 RVI 1 (457)
hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I	W 213 RVI 1 (457)
the future in the hands of God. The past is gone	W 214 RVI 1 (457)
I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet today I	W 218 RVI 1 (458)
no peace except the peace of God. Let me not wander	W 220 RVI 1 (458)
not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost	W 220 RVI 1 (458)
is certain as the Love of God. ---	W 220 RVI 1 (458)
now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which	W 220 INII 1 (459)
which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter	W 220 INII 1 (459)
not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as	W 220 INII 3 (459)
God when we have need of Him as we are tempted	W 220 INII 3 (459)
thought to introduce our times of rest, and calm our minds	W 220 INII 4 (459)
We say some simple words of welcome, and expect our Father	W 220 INII 4 (459)
spent. We say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests	W 220 INII 5 (460)
Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled. Now are all	W 220 INII 6 (460)
how to leave the world of sorrow, in exchange for its	W 220 INII 7 (460)
end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through	W 220 INII 7 (460)
to be the full replacement of our own. 8.	W 220 INII 7 (460)
in silence, unafraid, and certain of Your coming. We have sought	W 220 INII 8 (460)
start upon the final part of this one holy year, which	W 220 INII 9 (461)
Thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has	W 220 INII 9 (461)
the Son whom He created of Himself. We wanted God to	W 220 INII 10 (461)
be what we would make of Him. And we believed that	W 220 INII 10 (461)
think illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the	W 220 INII 10 (461)
shimmering across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more	W 220 INII 10 (461)
and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel	W 220 INII 11 (461)
but feel His Love. Instead of prayer, we need but call	W 220 INII 11 (461)
but call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be	W 220 INII 11 (461)
time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse our	W 220 INII 12 (461)
daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should	W 220 INII 12 (461)
reviewed each day, each one of them to be continued til	W 220 INII 12 (461)
a little while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants	W 220 INII 12 (461)
day. We give the first of these instructions now.	W 220 INII 12 (461)
place is now the Will of God. 2. An	W 220 W1 1 (462)
a contradiction to its point of view. 4. Forgiveness	W 220 W1 3 (462)
nothing. It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist	W 220 W1 4 (462)
strong in hope and certain of your ultimate success. He has	W 220 W1 5 (462)
He honors as the Son of God. ---	W 220 W1 5 (462)
in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses	W 221 L 1 (463)
my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and	W 221 L 1 (463)
hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to	W 221 L 2 (463)
me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the	W 222 L 1 (464)
he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!	W 222 L 1 (464)
Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none	W 223 L 1 (465)
none but Those which are of Him. 2. Our	W 223 L 1 (465)
let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes	W 223 L 2 (465)
the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who	W 223 L 2 (465)
now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal	W 224 L 2 (466)
possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of	W 226 L 1 (468)
of mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe	W 226 L 1 (468)
to linger in a place of vain desires and of broken	W 226 L 2 (468)
place of vain desires and of broken dreams, when Heaven can	W 226 L 2 (468)
This is my holy instant of release. 1	W 227 L 0 (469)
them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever	W 227 L 1 (469)
This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my	W 227 L 1 (469)
never really left. The Son of God this day lays down	W 227 L 2 (469)
down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home	W 227 L 2 (469)
Who knows the true condition of His Son? 2.	W 228 L 1 (470)
My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part	W 228 L 2 (470)
me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes about	W 228 L 2 (470)
longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I look	W 229 L 1 (471)
look upon attests the truth of the identity I sought to	W 229 L 1 (471)
and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin	W 229 L 2 (471)
midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind made	W 229 L 2 (471)
seek and find the peace of God. 1	W 230 L 0 (472)
and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the Thought of	W 230 W2 1 (473)
of conflict with the Thought of peace. 2. The	W 230 W2 1 (473)
2. The Thought of peace was given to God	W 230 W2 2 (473)
that his mind had thought of war. There was no need	W 230 W2 2 (473)
split, there is a need of healing. So the Thought Which	W 230 W2 2 (473)
the split became a part of every fragment of the mind	W 230 W2 2 (473)
a part of every fragment of the mind which still was	W 230 W2 2 (473)
failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it	W 230 W2 3 (473)
altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is	W 230 W2 3 (473)
is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before It	W 230 W2 3 (473)
before It, and the memory of God not far behind.	W 230 W2 3 (473)
for it holds a hint of all the glory given us	W 230 W2 4 (473)
salvation was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call	W 230 W2 5 (473)
all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love	W 232 L 1 (475)
be still of You and of Your Love, and let me	W 232 L 1 (475)
and let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your	W 232 L 1 (475)
sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware	W 232 L 1 (475)
be. Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him	W 232 L 2 (475)
today. I would have none of mine. In place of them	W 233 L 1 (476)
none of mine. In place of them give me Your own	W 233 L 1 (476)
may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be	W 233 L 1 (476)
who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love Whose	W 233 L 1 (476)
so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto	W 233 L 2 (476)
anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone	W 234 L 1 (477)
happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the	W 234 L 1 (477)
we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love	W 234 L 2 (477)
the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize our	W 234 L 2 (477)
made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt	W 235 L 2 (478)
free, to do the Will of God. 2. Father	W 236 L 1 (479)
bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as	W 237 L 1 (480)
it ends the bitter dream of death; aware it is my	W 237 L 1 (480)
which listen to the Voice of God today. Father, I come	W 237 L 2 (480)
decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must	W 238 L 1 (481)
safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine	W 238 L 1 (481)
Lesson 239. The glory of my Father is my own	W 239 L 0 (482)
shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can	W 239 L 1 (482)
but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be	W 240 L 1 (483)
today. We are the Son of God. There is no fear	W 240 L 1 (483)
we are each a part of Love Itself. 2.	W 240 L 1 (483)
false perception. It is born of error, and it has not	W 240 W3 1 (484)
is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to	W 240 W3 1 (484)
has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world	W 240 W3 1 (484)
3. The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead	W 240 W3 3 (484)
redirected. Sounds become the call of God, and all perception can	W 240 W3 4 (484)
behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made	W 240 W3 5 (484)
today! It is a time of special celebration. For today hold	W 241 L 1 (485)
pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a	W 241 L 1 (485)
free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They	W 241 L 1 (485)
understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are all	W 243 L 1 (487)
And so I am relieved of judgment which I cannot make	W 243 L 1 (487)
truth must shine in all of us as one.	W 243 L 2 (487)
and loving, in the safety of Your Fatherly embrace? 2	W 244 L 1 (488)
come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God are	W 244 L 2 (488)
will forever be a part of Him? ---	W 244 L 2 (488)
or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them	W 245 L 1 (489)
come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us	W 245 L 2 (489)
Father; or my mind conceive of all the love my Father	W 246 L 1 (490)
Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and	W 247 L 1 (491)
all to me as part of You and my own Self	W 247 L 2 (491)
Whatever suffers is not part of me. 1	W 248 L 0 (492)
Whatever suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not	W 248 L 1 (492)
lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready	W 248 L 1 (492)
Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is	W 249 L 1 (493)
The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless	W 249 L 1 (493)
the journey which the Son of God began has ended in	W 249 L 1 (493)
held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with	W 249 L 2 (493)
and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would	W 249 L 2 (493)
Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to	W 250 L 1 (494)
would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is what	W 250 L 2 (494)
let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it	W 250 W4 1 (495)
behold? What need have they of sights or sounds or touch	W 250 W4 1 (495)
strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And now the	W 250 W4 2 (495)
as replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its	W 250 W4 2 (495)
Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand	W 250 W4 3 (495)
a childish game. The Son of God may play he has	W 250 W4 4 (495)
How long, oh Son of God, will you maintain the	W 250 W4 5 (495)
will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put	W 250 W4 5 (495)
How long, oh holy Son of God, how long? Lesson	W 250 W4 5 (495)
251. I am in need of nothing but the truth.	W 251 L 0 (496)
Lesson 252. The Son of God is my Identity.	W 252 L 0 (497)
holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now	W 252 L 1 (497)
all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its	W 252 L 1 (497)
within it in the calm of quiet certainty. Its strength comes	W 252 L 1 (497)
but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond	W 252 L 1 (497)
253. My Self is ruler of the universe.	W 253 L 0 (498)
world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where	W 253 L 1 (498)
to us and tells us of our Will, as we have	W 254 L 2 (499)
bear witness to the truth of what He says. Gods	W 255 L 1 (500)
remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In His Name I	W 255 L 1 (500)
uncertain? Who could be unsure of who he is? And who	W 256 L 1 (501)
remain asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of	W 256 L 1 (501)
of doubt about the holiness of him who God created sinless	W 256 L 1 (501)
can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus	W 257 L 1 (502)
while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead	W 258 L 1 (503)
thought that makes the goal of God seem unobtainable. What else	W 259 L 1 (504)
sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering	W 259 L 1 (504)
this could be the source of fear, obscuring Gods creation	W 259 L 1 (504)
creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?	W 259 L 1 (504)
the attributes of fear and of attack? 2. Father	W 259 L 1 (504)
I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge	W 259 L 2 (504)
opposite. You are the Source of everything that is. And everything	W 259 L 2 (504)
left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your Son	W 260 L 1 (505)
is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built	W 260 W5 1 (506)
has built to separate parts of his Self from other parts	W 260 W5 1 (506)
double safety. For the Son of Gods impermanence is proof	W 260 W5 2 (506)
escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the	W 260 W5 4 (506)
been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God	W 260 W5 4 (506)
pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to	W 260 W5 4 (506)
myself. For he is part of me and I of him	W 262 L 1 (508)
part of me and I of him, and we are part	W 262 L 1 (508)
him, and we are part of You Who are our Source	W 262 L 1 (508)
Love; eternally the holy Son of God. 2. We	W 262 L 1 (508)
to be my choice, instead of all the loveliness with which	W 263 L 1 (509)
still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on	W 263 L 2 (509)
holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem	W 263 L 2 (509)
brothers and the holy Sons of God. ---	W 263 L 2 (509)
am surrounded by the Love of God. 1	W 264 L 0 (510)
was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. Today	W 265 L 1 (511)
in it. Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light	W 265 L 1 (511)
my sins obscure the light of Heaven, shining on the world	W 265 L 1 (511)
Counselors in sight; the Bearers of Your holy Voice to me	W 266 L 1 (512)
acknowledging our Self in each of us; united in the holy	W 266 L 2 (512)
united in the holy Love of God. How many Saviors God	W 266 L 2 (512)
is beating in the peace of God. 1	W 267 L 0 (513)
my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is	W 267 L 1 (513)
strength. I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice	W 267 L 1 (513)
in the peace the Heart of Love created. It is there	W 267 L 2 (513)
tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free	W 514 L 2 (514)
pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is wholly	W 514 L 2 (514)
everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that	W 269 L 1 (515)
we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours	W 269 L 2 (515)
ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son	W 269 L 2 (515)
Him Who is the Son of God; of Him Who is	W 269 L 2 (515)
is the Son of God; of Him Who is our own	W 269 L 2 (515)
eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious	W 270 L 1 (516)
the one remaining instant more of time, which ends forever as	W 270 L 1 (516)
2. The quiet of today will bless our hearts	W 270 L 2 (516)
unchanged forever in the Mind of God. 2. Christ	W 270 W6 1 (517)
no more than an illusion of despair. For hope forever will	W 270 W6 2 (517)
Him. Your mind is part of His, and His of yours	W 270 W6 2 (517)
part of His, and His of yours. He is the part	W 270 W6 2 (517)
sin. 3. Home of the Holy Spirit, and at	W 270 W6 3 (517)
at peace, within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is	W 270 W6 3 (517)
This is the only part of you that has reality in	W 270 W6 3 (517)
God appointed as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests	W 270 W6 4 (517)
has come to every Son of God, what could remain to	W 270 W6 4 (517)
is over, and the goal of the Atonement has been reached	W 270 W6 5 (517)
know we have no need of learning or perception or of	W 270 W6 5 (517)
of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the	W 270 W6 5 (517)
ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with	W 272 W6 2 (519)
Lesson 273. The stillness of the peace of God is	W 273 W6 0 (520)
The stillness of the peace of God is mine.	W 273 W6 0 (520)
now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is	W 273 W6 1 (520)
minds, with certainty, The stillness of the peace of God is	W 273 W6 1 (520)
The stillness of the peace of God is mine, and nothing	W 273 W6 1 (520)
that anything can rob me of what You would have me	W 273 W6 2 (520)
due their sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and	W 274 W6 1 (521)
us today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient	W 275 W6 1 (522)
in hearing. For the Voice of God tells us of things	W 275 W6 1 (522)
Voice of God tells us of things we cannot understand alone	W 275 W6 1 (522)
And in this the healing of the Voice of God is	W 275 W6 1 (522)
the healing of the Voice of God is found. 2	W 275 W6 1 (522)
Lesson 276. The Word of God is given me to	W 276 W6 0 (523)
What is the Word of God? My Son is pure	W 276 W6 1 (523)
did God become the Father of the Son He loves, for	W 276 W6 1 (523)
our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who	W 276 W6 1 (523)
unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and	W 276 W6 1 (523)
not slave to any laws of time. He is as You	W 277 W6 1 (524)
no laws except the Law of Love. 2. Let	W 277 W6 1 (524)
make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. He	W 277 W6 2 (524)
the freedom of the Son of God. He is not bound	W 277 W6 2 (524)
bound is not a part of truth. 2. Father	W 278 W6 1 (525)
and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. Today	W 278 W6 2 (525)
the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear	W 278 W6 2 (525)
instead of madness and instead of fear. For truth is safe	W 278 W6 2 (525)
1. The end of dreams is promised me, because	W 279 W6 1 (526)
not in truth. No Thought of God has left Its Father	W 280 W6 1 (527)
Fathers Mind. No Thought of God is limited at all	W 280 W6 1 (527)
limited at all. No Thought of God but is forever pure	W 280 W6 1 (527)
lay limits on the Son of God, whose Father willed that	W 280 W6 1 (527)
be dispelled before the light of knowledge. There are sights and	W 280 W7 1 (528)
sets is just this end of dreams. For sights and sounds	W 280 W7 2 (528)
be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love	W 280 W7 2 (528)
witnesses of fear to those of love. And when this is	W 280 W7 2 (528)
restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without forgiveness will your	W 280 W7 4 (528)
terrify you. And the memory of all your Fathers Love	W 280 W7 4 (528)
return to signify the end of dreams has come. 5	W 280 W7 4 (528)
gift, by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God	W 280 W7 5 (528)
refuse to take the function of completing God, when all He	W 280 W7 5 (528)
little, meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and	W 281 L 1 (529)
I will not be afraid of love today.	W 282 L 0 (530)
to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever	W 282 L 1 (530)
forever living in the joy of love. And this the choice	W 282 L 1 (530)
it another name? The name of fear is simply a mistake	W 282 L 2 (530)
Let me not be afraid of truth today.	W 282 L 2 (530)
Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this	W 283 L 1 (531)
this I call the Son of God. Yet is creation as	W 283 L 1 (531)
His holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of	W 283 L 1 (531)
of Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is	W 283 L 1 (531)
Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the	W 283 L 1 (531)
secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your	W 283 L 1 (531)
Source, and everything created part of us. And so we offer	W 283 L 2 (531)
cause at all and suffering of any kind is nothing but	W 284 L 1 (532)
and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.	W 284 L 1 (532)
expecting but the happy things of God to come to me	W 285 L 1 (533)
what would be the use of pain to me; what purpose	W 285 L 1 (533)
him. My holiness is part of me and also part of	W 285 L 2 (533)
of me and also part of You. And what can alter	W 285 L 2 (533)
Lesson 286. The hush of Heaven holds my heart today	W 286 L 0 (534)
2. The stillness of today will give us hope	W 286 L 2 (534)
I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I	W 287 L 1 (535)
And what except the memory of You could signify to me	W 287 L 2 (535)
signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for	W 287 L 2 (535)
your brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less	W 288 L 2 (536)
has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end	W 289 L 2 (537)
sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I	W 289 L 2 (537)
planned to be the end of all his dreams and all	W 289 L 2 (537)
a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it	W 290 W8 1 (539)
world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses	W 290 W8 1 (539)
fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The	W 290 W8 1 (539)
sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle	W 290 W8 2 (539)
sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains	W 290 W8 2 (539)
here. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for	W 290 W8 2 (539)
such a mind for thoughts of death, attack and murder? What	W 290 W8 3 (539)
the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over	W 290 W8 4 (539)
eyes perceive the sure reflection of his Fathers Love; the	W 290 W8 4 (539)
real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes	W 290 W8 4 (539)
Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served	W 290 W8 5 (539)
for it contains the memory of God. And as we look	W 290 W8 5 (539)
take us home, reminding us of our Identity Which our forgiveness	W 290 W8 5 (539)
291. This is a day of stillness and of peace.	W 291 L 0 (540)
a day of stillness and of peace. 1	W 291 L 0 (540)
share; it is the Holiness of God Himself. 2.	W 291 L 1 (540)
what comes from You instead of from myself. I do not	W 291 L 2 (540)
complete, and let the memory of You return to me.	W 291 L 2 (540)
has appointed, as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all	W 292 L 1 (541)
you, Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the	W 292 L 2 (541)
and showing me distorted forms of pain? Yet in the present	W 293 L 1 (542)
the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I	W 293 L 1 (542)
deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing	W 293 L 2 (542)
is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real	W 293 L 2 (542)
I am a Son of God. And can I be	W 294 L 1 (543)
not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there	W 294 L 1 (543)
there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it. Its	W 294 L 1 (543)
it more than this today; of service for a while and	W 294 L 1 (543)
that He may offer peace of mind to me, and take	W 295 L 1 (544)
saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together	W 295 L 1 (544)
Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give	W 295 L 2 (544)
me to use the eyes of Christ today, and thus allow	W 295 L 2 (544)
an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment	W 296 L 2 (545)
I draw near the end of senseless journeys, mad careers, and	W 298 L 1 (547)
grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary, and escape from	W 298 L 2 (547)
Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine	W 299 L 2 (548)
sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for	W 300 L 1 (549)
God, is merely the correction of mistakes and the return of	W 300 W9 1 (550)
of mistakes and the return of sanity. It is a part	W 300 W9 1 (550)
sanity. It is a part of the condition which restores the	W 300 W9 1 (550)
It is the all-inclusive nature of Christs Second Coming that	W 300 W9 2 (550)
are given to the hands of Christ, to be returned to	W 300 W9 3 (550)
to Spirit in the Name of true creation and the Will	W 300 W9 3 (550)
true creation and the Will of God. 4. The	W 300 W9 3 (550)
Identity, in Which all Sons of God acknowledge that they all	W 300 W9 4 (550)
needs your voice. And most of all it needs your willingness	W 300 W9 5 (550)
holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us	W 300 W9 5 (550)
me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears	W 301 L 1 (551)
bless it as a cause of further joy in them. We	W 301 L 2 (551)
my world obscure the sight of Christ. 1	W 304 L 0 (554)
look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would	W 304 L 1 (554)
on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look	W 304 L 1 (554)
may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son	W 304 L 2 (554)
the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created	W 304 L 2 (554)
more to be the home of fear. For Love has come	W 305 L 1 (555)
2. Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because	W 305 L 2 (555)
Lesson 306. The gift of Christ is all I seek	W 306 L 0 (556)
born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of	W 306 L 1 (556)
a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and	W 306 L 1 (556)
of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace	W 306 L 1 (556)
loving kindness and the peace of God. 2. And	W 306 L 1 (556)
in Your Love the gift of Christ is his.	W 306 L 2 (556)
1. I have conceived of time in such a way	W 308 L 1 (558)
I must change my perception of what time is for. Time	W 308 L 1 (558)
set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a	W 308 L 1 (558)
s release, and for salvation of the world in him.	W 308 L 2 (558)
Within me is the holiness of God. Within me is the	W 309 L 1 (559)
Within me is the memory of Him. 2. The	W 309 L 1 (559)
sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene	W 309 L 2 (559)
I will experience is not of time at all. The joy	W 310 L 1 (560)
comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it	W 310 L 1 (560)
with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him	W 310 L 2 (560)
Second Coming gives the Son of God the gift to hear	W 310 W10 1 (561)
fade away, because the Son of God is limitless. 3	W 310 W10 2 (561)
s Judgment is the gift of the Correction He bestowed on	W 310 W10 3 (561)
with him. Be not afraid of Love. For It alone can	W 310 W10 4 (561)
gently waken from his dreams of pain the Son whom God	W 310 W10 4 (561)
as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give	W 310 W10 4 (561)
apart. And then it makes of it what you would have	W 311 L 1 (562)
today, but make a gift of it to Him Who has	W 311 L 1 (562)
it. He will relieve you of the agony of all the	W 311 L 1 (562)
relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have	W 311 L 1 (562)
against yourself, and re-establish peace of mind by giving you God	W 311 L 1 (562)
giving you Gods Judgment of His Son. 2.	W 311 L 1 (562)
today, to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We	W 311 L 2 (562)
to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy	W 312 L 1 (563)
is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a world	W 313 L 1 (564)
may waken from the dream of guilt and look within upon	W 313 L 1 (564)
each other in the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are	W 313 L 2 (564)
1. From new perception of the world there comes a	W 314 L 1 (565)
is recognized as but extensions of the present. Past mistakes can	W 314 L 1 (565)
value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A	W 315 L 1 (566)
gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my	W 315 L 1 (566)
every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited	W 315 L 2 (566)
choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But	W 317 L 1 (568)
the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there, and	W 317 L 2 (568)
wandered from the sure protection of Your loving arms.	W 317 L 2 (568)
Son, are reconciled all parts of Heavens plan to save	W 318 L 1 (569)
that stands aside, or one of more or less importance than	W 318 L 1 (569)
I came for the salvation of the world.	W 319 L 0 (570)
yet it is the Will of God I learn that what	W 319 L 1 (570)
What aim but the salvation of the world could You have	W 319 L 2 (570)
1. The Son of God is limitless. There are	W 320 L 1 (571)
he in whom the power of my Fathers Will abides	W 320 L 1 (571)
Creation is the sum of all Gods Thoughts, in	W 320 W11 1 (572)
be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was	W 320 W11 2 (572)
it was before the thought of time began. 3.	W 320 W11 2 (572)
Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for Creation is	W 320 W11 3 (572)
Creation is the holy Son of God, for in Creation is	W 320 W11 3 (572)
aspect, making every part container of the whole. Its oneness is	W 320 W11 3 (572)
holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and	W 320 W11 3 (572)
beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any	W 320 W11 3 (572)
harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness	W 320 W11 3 (572)
are Creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be	W 320 W11 4 (572)
to be discrete and unaware of our eternal unity with Him	W 320 W11 4 (572)
unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all	W 320 W11 4 (572)
forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose	W 320 W11 5 (572)
holiness is still a part of us. ---	W 320 W11 5 (572)
every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves	W 322 L 1 (574)
s only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who	W 322 L 1 (574)
I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of	W 322 L 2 (574)
of fear, and the return of Love into my mind?	W 322 L 2 (574)
I gladly make the sacrifice of fear. 1	W 323 L 0 (575)
the only sacrifice You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask	W 323 L 1 (575)
up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety	W 323 L 1 (575)
to his awareness, healing him of pain, and giving him Your	W 323 L 1 (575)
is the sacrifice You ask of me, and one I gladly	W 323 L 1 (575)
gladly make; the only cost of restoration of Your memory to	W 323 L 1 (575)
the only cost of restoration of Your memory to me, for	W 323 L 1 (575)
to me, for the salvation of the world. 2.	W 323 L 1 (575)
merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and of images we	W 323 L 2 (575)
letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely ? truth	W 323 L 2 (575)
which starts with my idea of what I want. From there	W 325 L 1 (577)
mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires	W 325 L 1 (577)
mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a	W 325 L 1 (577)
I am forever an Effect of God. 1	W 326 L 0 (578)
that I am an Effect of God, and so I have	W 326 L 1 (578)
Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth will	W 326 L 1 (578)
in glory as the Son of God. 2. Let	W 326 L 1 (578)
take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God	W 327 L 1 (579)
whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained	W 327 L 2 (579)
we listen to the Voice of God. It seems that we	W 328 L 1 (580)
our independence from the rest of Gods creation is the	W 328 L 1 (580)
my Father, gave as part of me. ---	W 328 L 2 (580)
apart from His, and all of us are one because His	W 329 L 2 (581)
Will is shared by all of us. Through It we recognize	W 329 L 2 (581)
minds, and give them images of pain? Why should we teach	W 330 L 1 (582)
joy, as is the Will of God united with its own	W 330 L 1 (582)
from all things the dream of fear appears to offer us	W 330 L 1 (582)
ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born	W 330 W12 1 (583)
will that sees the Will of God as enemy, and takes	W 330 W12 1 (583)
autonomy it sees the Will of God has been destroyed. It	W 330 W12 2 (583)
has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment, and trembles at the	W 330 W12 2 (583)
3. The Son of God is egoless. What can	W 330 W12 3 (583)
egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of	W 330 W12 3 (583)
of madness and the death of God, when he abides in	W 330 W12 3 (583)
Him? What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when	W 330 W12 3 (583)
he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in	W 330 W12 3 (583)
joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin	W 330 W12 3 (583)
know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred	W 330 W12 3 (583)
punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all	W 330 W12 3 (583)
is so immense that crucifixion of the Son of God is	W 330 W12 4 (583)
that crucifixion of the Son of God is offered daily at	W 330 W12 4 (583)
sickly followers prepare its feast of death. 5. Yet	W 330 W12 4 (583)
Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into	W 330 W12 5 (583)
to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will	W 330 W12 5 (583)
to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could	W 331 L 1 (584)
no will except the Will of Love. Fear is a dream	W 331 L 1 (584)
we may find the peace of God. Amen.	W 331 L 2 (584)
light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope, and	W 332 L 1 (585)

while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false	W 334 L 1 (587)
Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear	W 334 L 1 (587)
Son I find the memory of You as well.	W 335 L 2 (588)
and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the	W 336 L 1 (589)
restored, for this the dwelling-place of God Himself. 2.	W 336 L 1 (589)
forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then	W 336 L 2 (589)
my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father	W 336 L 2 (589)
within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your	W 336 L 2 (589)
freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering	W 337 L 1 (590)
learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but	W 337 L 1 (590)
thought for a happy thought of love. He crucified himself. Yet	W 338 L 1 (591)

Son this day. Not one of us but will be saved	W 340 L 2 (593)
in Heaven in the Heart of Love. ---	W 340 L 2 (593)
perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within	W 340 W13 1 (594)
the way for the return of timelessness and loves awakening	W 340 W13 1 (594)
A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given	W 340 W13 2 (594)
thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not	W 340 W13 2 (594)
Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ	W 340 W13 3 (594)
home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all	W 340 W13 3 (594)
come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world	W 340 W13 3 (594)
the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid	W 340 W13 3 (594)
is laid before the Word of God upon the universal altar	W 340 W13 3 (594)
and creation, in the Light of perfect purity and endless joy	W 340 W13 3 (594)
been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and	W 340 W13 4 (594)
Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on	W 340 W13 5 (594)
green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show	W 340 W13 5 (594)
so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His	W 341 L 1 (595)
as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him. 2	W 341 L 1 (595)
For it contains the Word of God to us, and in	W 341 L 2 (595)
beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand before the	W 342 L 1 (596)
I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should	W 342 L 1 (596)
illusions in the blazing light of truth, as memory of You	W 342 L 1 (596)
light of truth, as memory of You returns to me.	W 342 L 1 (596)
the mercy and the peace of God. 1	W 343 L 0 (597)
1. The end of suffering can not be loss	W 343 L 1 (597)
not be loss. The gift of everything can but be gain	W 343 L 1 (597)
be complete, having the function of completing You. I am complete	W 343 L 1 (597)
The mercy and the peace of God are free. Salvation has	W 343 L 2 (597)
Today I learn the law of love; that what I give	W 344 L 0 (598)
me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my	W 344 L 1 (598)
real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your	W 344 L 1 (598)
us. How close the ending of the dream of sin, and	W 344 L 2 (598)
the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of	W 344 L 2 (598)
of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God.	W 344 L 2 (598)
the redemption of the Son of God. ---	W 344 L 2 (598)
me, reminding me the law of love is universal. Even here	W 345 L 1 (599)
gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way	W 345 L 1 (599)
Lesson 346. Today the peace of God envelops me, And I	W 346 L 0 (600)

do not seek the things of time, and so I will	W 346 L 1 (600)
seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in	W 346 L 1 (600)
no laws except Your law of Love. And I would find	W 346 L 1 (600)
remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn	W 346 L 2 (600)
give Each one a miracle of love instead.	W 349 L 0 (603)
do I obey the law of love, and give what I	W 349 L 1 (603)
we forgive becomes a part of us, as we perceive ourselves	W 350 L 1 (604)
we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within	W 350 L 1 (604)
to us in the Reality of Love. ---	W 350 L 2 (604)
whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is	W 350 W14 1 (605)
I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the	W 350 W14 1 (605)
Yet in the final days of this one year we gave	W 350 W14 2 (605)
you as well. The truth of what we are is not	W 350 W14 2 (605)
not for words to speak of or describe. Yet we can	W 350 W14 2 (605)
here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too	W 350 W14 2 (605)
We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part	W 350 W14 3 (605)
accept our part as Saviors of the world, which through our	W 350 W14 3 (605)
that is past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will return when	W 350 W14 3 (605)
world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears	W 350 W14 4 (605)
ears which hear the Voice of God proclaim the world as	W 350 W14 4 (605)
We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him	W 350 W14 5 (605)
glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered	W 350 W14 5 (605)
as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him	W 350 W14 5 (605)
and disappear into the Heart of God. ---	W 350 W14 5 (605)
a sinner; not a Son of God; alone and friendless in	W 351 L 1 (606)
one Come all the sorrows of the world. But from The	W 352 L 0 (607)
The Other comes the peace of God Himself.	W 352 L 0 (607)
within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads	W 352 L 1 (607)
find in Him the memory of You. ---	W 352 L 1 (607)
I, in peace And certainty of purpose. And in Him Is	W 354 L 0 (609)
Your Son, beyond the reach of time, and wholly free of	W 354 L 1 (609)
of time, and wholly free of every law but Yours. I	W 354 L 1 (609)
Your Name replaces every thought of sin, and who is sinless	W 356 L 1 (611)
unheard or left Unanswered. And of this I can be sure	W 358 L 0 (613)
s answer is some form of peace. All pain Is healed	W 359 L 0 (614)
we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God	W 359 L 1 (614)
sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created sinless	W 359 L 1 (614)
to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother	W 360 L 0 (615)
I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son	W 360 L 1 (615)
will be left as free of words as possible. We use	W 360 L 1 (616)
them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to	W 360 L 1 (616)
and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from	W 360 L 1 (616)
Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be	W 360 L 2 (616)
let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are	W 360 L 2 (616)
thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim	W 360 L 3 (616)
fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His	W 360 L 3 (616)
remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way	W 360 L 4 (616)
Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we	W 360 L 4 (616)
His lessons through the Voice of His own Teacher. Would He	W 360 L 6 (617)
the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge	W 361 L 1 (618)
to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold	W 361 L 1 (619)
You need but ask it of him, and it will be	W 361 L 1 (619)
You are as certain of arriving home as is the	W 361 L 2 (619)
home as is the pathway of the sun laid down before	W 361 L 2 (619)
possible to change the course of those whom God has called	W 361 L 2 (619)
as your voice, to speak of what you really want and	W 361 L 2 (619)
need. His is the Voice of God, and also yours. And	W 361 L 2 (619)
yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of truth.	W 361 L 2 (619)
He speaks of freedom and of truth. 3. No	W 361 L 2 (619)
there is no more need of them. Henceforth, hear but the	W 361 L 3 (619)
by speaking daily to you of your Father and your brother	W 361 L 4 (619)
as certain as is He of where you go; as sure	W 361 L 4 (619)
go; as sure as He of how you should proceed, as	W 361 L 4 (619)
as confident as He is of the ---	W 361 L 4 (619)

His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I	W 361 L 6 (620)

A 1 The role of teaching and learning is actually	M 1 A 1 M(1)

4. WHAT ARE THE LEVELS OF TEACHING?	M 4 0 0 M(6)
A 1 The teachers of God have no set teaching	M 4 A 1 M(6)
always the same; to make of the relationship a holy relationship	M 4 A 1 M(6)
can look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is	M 4 A 1 M(6)
one from whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there	M 4 A 1 M(6)
However, from a practical point of view he cannot meet everyone	M 4 A 1 M(6)
be made for each teacher of God. There are no accidents	M 4 A 1 M(6)
2 The simplest level of teaching appears to be quite	M 4 A 2 M(6)
be quite superficial. It consists of what seem to be very	M 4 A 2 M(6)
casual encounters; a chance meeting of two apparent strangers in an	M 4 A 2 M(6)
are not chance encounters. Each of them has a potential for	M 4 A 2 M(6)
friends. Even at the level of the most casual encounter, it	M 4 A 2 M(6)
two people to lose sight of separate interests, if only for	M 4 A 2 M(6)
difficult to understand that levels of teaching the universal course is	M 4 A 3 M(7)
as is time. The illusion of one permits the illusion of	M 4 A 3 M(7)
of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the	M 4 A 3 M(7)
other. In time, the teacher of God seems to begin to	M 4 A 3 M(7)
We have covered the illusion of time already, but the illusion	M 4 A 3 M(7)
time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to	M 4 A 3 M(7)
but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something	M 4 A 3 M(7)
to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part	M 4 A 3 M(7)
the teaching-learning situation is part of Gods plan for Atonement	M 4 A 3 M(7)
no levels, being a reflection of His Will. Salvation is always	M 4 A 3 M(7)
sense only, we can speak of levels of teaching. Using the	M 4 A 4 M(7)
we can speak of levels of teaching. Using the term in	M 4 A 4 M(7)
this way, the second level of teaching is a more sustained	M 4 A 4 M(7)
appears to be the end of the relationship a real end	M 4 A 4 M(7)
for it is the destiny of all relationships to become holy	M 4 A 4 M(7)
5 The third level of teaching occurs in relationships which	M 4 A 5 M(7)
lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and	M 4 A 5 M(8)
seem to fail. No teacher of God can fail to find	M 4 A 5 M(8)
5. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GODS TEACHERS? A	M 5 0 0 M(8)
1 The surface traits of Gods teachers are not	M 5 A 1 M(8)
vastly different backgrounds, their experiences of the world vary greatly, and	M 5 A 1 M(8)
Nor at the beginning stages of their functioning as teachers of	M 5 A 1 M(8)
of their functioning as teachers of God, have they yet acquired	M 5 A 1 M(8)
for Atonement. Their specialness is, of course, only temporary; set in	M 5 A 1 M(8)
in time as a means of leading out of time. These	M 5 A 1 M(8)
a means of leading out of time. These special gifts, born	M 5 A 1 M(8)
situation is geared, become characteristic of all teachers of God who	M 5 A 1 M(8)
become characteristic of all teachers of God who have advanced in	M 5 A 1 M(8)
All differences among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in	M 5 A 2 M(8)
said that the advanced teachers of God have the following characteristics	M 5 A 2 M(8)
rests. Perception is a result of learning. In fact, perception is	M 5 B 1 M(8)
are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the	M 5 B 1 M(8)
is in them but not of them. It is this Power	M 5 B 1 M(9)
this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven	M 5 B 1 M(9)
fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty	M 5 B 2 M(9)
sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given	M 5 B 2 M(9)
faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts	M 5 B 2 M(9)
the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him	M 5 B 2 M(9)
might be called a period of undoing. This need not be	M 5 B 3 M(9)
understood initially that their lack of value is merely being recognized	M 5 B 3 M(9)
being recognized. How can lack of value be perceived unless the	M 5 B 3 M(9)
always helpful. When the teacher of God has learned that much	M 5 B 3 M(9)
4 Next, the teacher of God must go through a	M 5 B 4 M(9)
must go through a period of sorting-out. This is always somewhat	M 5 B 4 M(9)
all things on the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness	M 5 B 4 M(9)
that many, if not most of the things he valued before	M 5 B 4 M(9)
generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice.	M 5 B 4 M(9)
are helpful that any degree of reality should be accorded them	M 5 B 4 M(10)
accorded them in this world of illusion. The word value can	M 5 B 4 M(10)
stage through which the teacher of God must go can be	M 5 B 5 M(10)
can be called a period of relinquishment. If this is interpreted	M 5 B 5 M(10)
engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of God escape this distress entirely	M 5 B 5 M(10)
is complete. Therefore, the period of overlap is apt to be	M 5 B 5 M(10)
one in which the teacher of God feels called upon to	M 5 B 5 M(10)
own best interests on behalf of truth. He has not realized	M 5 B 5 M(10)
he thought something was asked of him he finds a gift	M 5 B 5 M(10)
Now comes a period of settling down. This is a	M 5 B 6 M(10)
time, in which the teacher of God rests a while in	M 5 B 6 M(10)
to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its	M 5 B 6 M(10)
literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the	M 5 B 6 M(10)
easy to do. The teacher of God needs this period of	M 5 B 6 M(10)
of God needs this period of respite. He has not yet	M 5 B 6 M(10)
stage is indeed a period of unsettling. Now must the teacher	M 5 B 7 M(11)
unsettling. Now must the teacher of God understand that he did	M 5 B 7 M(11)
him the difference. The idea of sacrifice, so central to his	M 5 B 7 M(11)
finally, there is a period of achievement. It is here that	M 5 B 8 M(11)
is their result; the outcome of honest learning, consistency of thought	M 5 B 8 M(11)
outcome of honest learning, consistency of thought and full transfer. This	M 5 B 8 M(11)
transfer. This is the stage of real peace, for here is	M 5 B 8 M(11)
would go anywhere, if peace of mind is already complete? And	M 5 B 8 M(11)
1 All other traits of Gods teachers rest on	M 5 C 1 M(12)
C 2 The peace of mind which the advanced teachers	M 5 C 2 M(12)
mind which the advanced teachers of God experience is largely due	M 5 C 2 M(12)
with himself can even conceive of conflict. Conflict is the inevitable	M 5 C 2 M(12)
Conflict is the inevitable result of self-deception, and self-deception is dishonesty	M 5 C 2 M(12)
no challenge to a teacher of God. Challenge implies doubt, and	M 5 C 2 M(12)
appearances; and for the Son of God and his Creator. How	M 5 C 2 M(12)
choose in perfect honesty, sure of their choice of themselves.	M 5 C 2 M(12)
honesty, sure of their choice of themselves. D. Tolerance	M 5 C 2 M(12)
yourself? Judgment implies a lack of trust, and trust remains the	M 5 D 1 M(12)
and trust remains the bedrock of the teacher of Gods	M 5 D 1 M(12)
the bedrock of the teacher of Gods whole thought system	M 5 D 1 M(12)
and shatters trust. No teacher of God can judge and hope	M 5 D 1 M(13)
harmed. Harm is the outcome of judgment. It is the dishonest	M 5 E 1 M(13)
thought. It is a verdict of guilt upon a brother and	M 5 E 1 M(13)
oneself. It is the end of peace and the denial of	M 5 E 1 M(13)
of peace and the denial of learning. It demonstrates the absence	M 5 E 1 M(13)
learning. It demonstrates the absence of Gods curriculum and its	M 5 E 1 M(13)
replacement by insanity. No teacher of God but must learn, and	M 5 E 1 M(13)
gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for it is in	M 5 E 2 M(13)
in this that the function of salvation becomes easy. To those	M 5 E 2 M(13)
come from harm in place of the unfailing, all-encompassing and limitless	M 5 E 2 M(13)
unfailing, all-encompassing and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of God	M 5 E 2 M(13)
strength of gentleness? The might of Gods teachers lies in	M 5 E 2 M(13)
Joy is the inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear	M 5 F 1 M(14)
with joy? The open hands of gentleness are always filled. The	M 5 F 1 M(14)
things. Joy is their song of thanks. And Christ looks down	M 5 F 1 M(14)
thanks as well. His need of them is just as great	M 5 F 1 M(14)
just as great as theirs of Him. How joyous it is	M 5 F 1 M(14)
is to share the purpose of salvation. G. Defenselessness	M 5 F 1 M(14)
can become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands	M 5 G 1 M(14)
are but the foolish guardians of mad illusions. The more grotesque	M 5 G 1 M(14)
be. Yet when the teacher of God finally agrees to look	M 5 G 1 M(14)
special meaning to the teacher of God. It is not the	M 5 H 1 M(15)
is not the usual meaning of the word; in fact, it	M 5 H 1 M(15)
Like all the other attributes of Gods teachers this one	M 5 H 1 M(15)
giving away in the sense of giving up. To the teachers	M 5 H 1 M(15)
giving up. To the teachers of God, it means giving away	M 5 H 1 M(15)
more alien to the thinking of the world than many other	M 5 H 1 M(15)
lies merely in the obviousness of its reversal of the world	M 5 H 1 M(15)
the obviousness of its reversal of the worlds thinking. In	M 5 H 1 M(15)
possible and at the simplest of levels, the word means the	M 5 H 1 M(15)
exact opposite to the teachers of God and to the world	M 5 H 1 M(15)
H 2 The teacher of God is generous out of	M 5 H 2 M(15)
of God is generous out of Self-interest. This does not refer	M 5 H 2 M(15)
the self the world speaks of. The teacher of God does	M 5 H 2 M(15)
world speaks of. The teacher of God does not want anything	M 5 H 2 M(15)
He could only lose because of it. He could not gain	M 5 H 2 M(15)
because that is a guarantee of loss. He does not want	M 5 H 2 M(15)
himself all things that are of God, and therefore for His	M 5 H 2 M(15)
Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to	M 5 I 1 M(16)
is natural to the teacher of God. All he sees is	M 5 I 1 M(16)
time. Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider	M 5 I 1 M(16)
to those who trust. Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all	M 5 I 1 M(16)
Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all things in time, no	M 5 I 1 M(16)
J 1 The extent of the teacher of Gods	M 5 J 1 M(16)
The extent of the teacher of Gods faithfulness is the	M 5 J 1 M(16)
s faithfulness is the measure of his advancement in the curriculum	M 5 J 1 M(16)
he still select some aspects of his life to bring to	M 5 J 1 M(16)
established. Faithfulness is the teacher of Gods trust in the	M 5 J 1 M(16)
s trust in the Word of God to set all things	M 5 J 1 M(16)
is to reverse the thinking of the world entirely. And that	M 5 J 1 M(16)
Being unswerving it is full of trust. Being based on fearlessness	M 5 J 2 M(16)
in itself the other attributes of Gods teachers. It implies	M 5 J 2 M(16)
s teachers. It implies acceptance of the Word of God and	M 5 J 2 M(16)
implies acceptance of the Word of God and His definition of	M 5 J 2 M(16)
of God and His definition of His Son. It is to	M 5 J 2 M(16)
K 1 The centrality of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of	M 5 K 1 M(17)
of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of	M 5 K 1 M(17)
of the attributes the teacher of God acquires, is easily understood	M 5 K 1 M(17)
recognized. Open-mindedness comes with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the	M 5 K 1 M(17)
As condemnation judges the Son of God as evil, so open-mindedness	M 5 K 1 M(17)
His behalf. As the projection of guilt upon him would send	M 5 K 1 M(17)
they never could have conceived of such a change. Nothing is	M 5 K 2 M(17)
remain to hide the Face of Christ. Now is the goal	M 5 K 2 M(17)
Forgiveness is the final goal of the curriculum. It paves the	M 5 K 2 M(17)
have noticed that the list of attributes of Gods teachers	M 5 K 3 M(17)
that the list of attributes of Gods teachers does not	M 5 K 3 M(17)
things which are the Son of Gods inheritance. Terms like	M 5 K 3 M(17)
curriculum. It is the function of Gods teachers to bring	M 5 K 3 M(18)
is given to the teachers of God to bring the glad	M 5 K 3 M(18)
to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world	M 5 K 3 M(18)
for they are the Bringers of salvation. 6. HOW	M 5 K 3 M(18)
Healing involves an understanding of what the illusion of sickness	M 6 A 1 M(18)
understanding of what the illusion of sickness is for. Healing is	M 6 A 1 M(18)
B. The perceived purpose of sickness M	M 6 B 0 M(18)
brought him something, and something of value to him? He must	M 6 B 1 M(18)
price to pay for something of greater worth. For sickness is	M 6 B 1 M(18)
decision. It is the choice of weakness, in the mistaken conviction	M 6 B 1 M(18)
for? It symbolizes the defeat of Gods Son and the	M 6 B 2 M(18)
s Son and the triumph of his Father over him. It	M 6 B 2 M(18)
direct form which the Son of God is forced to recognize	M 6 B 2 M(18)
thus entirely usurped the throne of his Creator.	M 6 B 2 M(18)
proportion to which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized. One need	M 6 C 1 M(19)
is obvious that decisions are of the mind, not of the	M 6 C 1 M(19)
are of the mind, not of the body. If sickness is	M 6 C 1 M(19)
is enormous, because the existence of the world as we perceive	M 6 C 1 M(19)
C 2 The acceptance of sickness as a decision of	M 6 C 2 M(19)
of sickness as a decision of the mind, for a purpose	M 6 C 2 M(19)
the body, is the basis of healing. And this is so	M 6 C 2 M(19)
the physician? Only the mind of the patient himself. The outcome	M 6 C 2 M(19)
this. There is no form of sickness that would not be	M 6 C 2 M(19)
the recognition that sickness is of the mind, and has nothing	M 6 C 3 M(19)
accept this release, the insignificance of the body must be an	M 6 C 3 M(20)
creation. Does not this follow of necessity? Place cause and effect	M 6 C 4 M(20)
the world. The transfer value of one true idea has no	M 6 C 4 M(20)
nor limit. The final outcome of this lesson is the remembrance	M 6 C 4 M(20)
this lesson is the remembrance of God. What do guilt and	M 6 C 4 M(20)
Heaven. D. The function of the Teacher of God	M 6 D 0 M(20)
The function of the Teacher of God M	M 6 D 0 M(20)
healed, what does the teacher of God do. Can he change	M 6 D 1 M(20)
for they have become teachers of God with him. He has	M 6 D 1 M(20)
had forgotten. The simple presence of a teacher of God is	M 6 D 2 M(21)
simple presence of a teacher of God is a reminder. His	M 6 D 2 M(21)
His teachers are the symbols of salvation. They ask the patient	M 6 D 2 M(21)
sick but to remind them of the remedy God has already	M 6 D 2 M(21)
voice that speaks the Word of God. They merely give what	M 6 D 2 M(21)
from death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer	M 6 D 2 M(21)
you choose sickness in place of this? M 6 D	M 6 D 2 M(21)
once do the advanced teachers of God consider the forms of	M 6 D 3 M(21)
of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother	M 6 D 3 M(21)
is to forget that all of them have the same purpose	M 6 D 3 M(21)
the truth in the minds of their brothers, so that illusions	M 6 D 3 M(21)
dispelled, not by the will of another, but by the union	M 6 D 3 M(21)
another, but by the union of the One Will with Itself	M 6 D 3 M(21)
And this is the function of Gods teachers; to see	M 6 D 3 M(21)
have no value. The teacher of God has seen the correction	M 7 A 1 M(22)
God has seen the correction of his errors in the mind	M 7 A 1 M(22)
his errors in the mind of the patient, recognizing it for	M 7 A 1 M(22)
uses sickness as a way of life, believing healing is the	M 7 A 1 M(22)
intense depression, and a sense of loss so deep that the	M 7 A 1 M(22)
is time before the gifts of God? We have referred many	M 7 A 2 M(22)
the text to the storehouse of treasures laid up equally for	M 7 A 2 M(22)
the giver and the receiver of Gods gifts. Not one	M 7 A 2 M(22)
can but increase. No teacher of God should feel disappointed if	M 7 A 2 M(22)
It is not the function of Gods teachers to evaluate	M 7 A 3 M(22)
teachers to evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely	M 7 A 3 M(22)
outcome, for that is part of the gift. No one can	M 7 A 3 M(22)
is concerned with the result of the giving. That is a	M 7 A 3 M(22)
Trust is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is	M 7 A 3 M(22)
It is the relinquishing of all concern about the gift	M 7 A 4 M(23)
possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit	M 7 A 4 M(23)
Holy Spirit in the mind of the giver Who gives the	M 7 A 4 M(23)
concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what becomes	M 7 A 4 M(23)
God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by God	M 7 A 4 M(23)
to repeat? For a teacher of God to remain concerned about	M 8 A 1 M(23)
remain concerned about the result of healing is to limit the	M 8 A 1 M(23)
It is now the teacher of God himself whose mind needs	M 8 A 1 M(23)
has not received the benefit of his gift. M 8	M 8 A 1 M(23)
2 Whenever a teacher of God has tried to be	M 8 A 2 M(23)
used it. Now the teacher of God has only one course	M 8 A 2 M(23)
in this that the teacher of God must trust. This is	M 8 A 3 M(24)
statement that the one responsibility of the miracle worker is to	M 8 A 3 M(24)
Atonement for himself. The teacher of God is a miracle worker	M 8 A 3 M(24)
corrected. He thought the gifts of God could be withdrawn. That	M 8 A 3 M(24)
with. And so the teacher of God can only recognize it	M 8 A 3 M(24)
8 A 4 One of the more difficult temptations to	M 8 A 4 M(24)
to doubt a healing because of the appearance of continuing symptoms	M 8 A 4 M(24)
healing because of the appearance of continuing symptoms is a mistake	M 8 A 4 M(24)
a mistake in the form of lack of trust. As such	M 8 A 4 M(24)
in the form of lack of trust. As such, it is	M 8 A 4 M(24)
It has all the appearance of love. Yet love without trust	M 8 A 4 M(24)
hate must be the opposite of love, regardless of the form	M 8 A 4 M(24)
the opposite of love, regardless of the form it takes. Doubt	M 8 A 4 M(24)
for doubt about the outcome of any problem that has been	M 8 A 5 M(24)
Perhaps there is a fear of weakness and vulnerability. Perhaps there	M 8 A 5 M(24)
vulnerability. Perhaps there is fear of failure and shame associated with	M 8 A 5 M(24)
shame associated with a sense of inadequacy. Perhaps there is a	M 8 A 5 M(24)
from false humility. The form of the mistake is not important	M 8 A 5 M(25)
important is only the recognition of a mistake as a mistake	M 8 A 5 M(25)
mistake is always some form of concern with the self to	M 8 A 6 M(25)
the self to the exclusion of the patient. It is a	M 8 A 6 M(25)
to recognize him as part of the self, and thus represents	M 8 A 6 M(25)
you have denied the Source of your creation. If you are	M 8 A 6 M(25)
doubt. Doubt is the result of conflicting wishes. Be sure of	M 8 A 6 M(25)
of conflicting wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt	M 8 A 6 M(25)
9. HOW CAN THE PERCEPTION OF ORDER OF DIFFICULTIES BE AVOIDED	M 9 0 0 M(25)
CAN THE PERCEPTION OF ORDER OF DIFFICULTIES BE AVOIDED?	M 9 0 0 M(25)
The belief in order of difficulties is the basis for	M 9 A 1 M(25)
diverse sizes, on varying degrees of darkness and light, and thousands	M 9 A 1 M(25)
darkness and light, and thousands of contrasts in which each thing	M 9 A 1 M(25)
from another with less intensity of appeal. And a more threatening	M 9 A 1 M(25)
threatening idea, or one conceived of as more desirable by the	M 9 A 1 M(25)
Illusions are always illusions of differences. How could it be	M 9 A 2 M(25)
real that is regarded as of major importance, but is recognized	M 9 A 2 M(25)
to make it true out of its intensity of desire to	M 9 A 2 M(25)
true out of its intensity of desire to have it for	M 9 A 2 M(25)
Illusions are travesties of creation; attempts to bring truth	M 9 A 2 M(26)
and gives itself an illusion of victory. Finding health a burden	M 9 A 2 M(26)
other minds, with different interests of its own, and able to	M 9 A 2 M(26)
its needs at the expense of others. M 9 A	M 9 A 2 M(26)
the mind prefers. Its hierarchy of values is projected outward, and	M 9 A 3 M(26)
sorting out and categorizing activities of the mind that errors in	M 9 A M(26)
true. On this the judgment of all differences rests, because it	M 9 A M(26)
is on this that judgments of the world depend. Can this	M 9 A M(26)
There can be no order of difficulty in healing merely because	M 9 A 5 M(26)
harder to dispel the belief of the insane in a larger	M 9 A 5 M(26)
more quickly to the unreality of a louder voice he hears	M 9 A 5 M(26)
he hears than to that of a softer one? Will he	M 9 A 5 M(26)
shout? And do the number of pitchforks the devils he sees	M 9 A 5 M(26)
is with healing. The properties of illusions which seem to make	M 9 A 5 M(27)
unreal. This is the gift of its Teacher; the understanding that	M 9 A 6 M(27)
be the outside world. And of these two but one is	M 9 A 6 M(27)
The one answer to sickness of any kind is healing. The	M 9 A 6 M(27)
REQUIRED IN THE LIFE SITUATIONS OF GODS TEACHERS?	M 10 0 0 M(27)
are required in the minds of Gods teachers. This may	M 10 A 1 M(27)
step in the newly-made teacher of Gods training. There is	M 10 A 1 M(27)
perceived, and all dark cornerstones of unforgiveness removed. Otherwise the old	M 10 A 1 M(27)
2 As the teacher of God advances in his training	M 10 A 2 M(28)
and easier, as the teacher of God learns to give up	M 10 A 2 M(28)
own judgment. The giving up of judgment, the obvious prerequisite for	M 10 A 2 M(28)
in direct opposition to that of our curriculum. The world trains	M 10 A 2 M(28)
curriculum trains for the relinquishment of judgment as the necessary condition	M 10 A 2 M(28)
judgment as the necessary condition of salvation. 11. HOW	M 10 A 2 M(28)
devices by which the world of illusions is maintained, is totally	M 11 A 1 M(28)
term, an individual is capable of good and bad judgment, and	M 11 A 1 M(28)
is necessary for the teacher of God to realize not that	M 11 A 2 M(29)
better, he has an illusion of giving up. He has actually	M 11 A 2 M(29)
A 3 The aim of our curriculum, unlike the goal	M 11 A 3 M(29)
our curriculum, unlike the goal of the worlds learning, is	M 11 A 3 M(29)
have to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of	M 11 A 3 M(29)
of an inconceivably wide range of things; past, present and to	M 11 A 3 M(29)
in advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and	M 11 A 3 M(29)
judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment. Make then but one	M 11 A 4 M(29)
does know all the effects of His judgment on everyone and	M 11 A 4 M(29)
regret but with a sigh of gratitude. Now are you free	M 11 A 5 M(30)
gratitude. Now are you free of a burden so great that	M 11 A 5 M(30)
more. Now can the teacher of God rise up unburdened, and	M 11 A 5 M(30)
is his benefit. His sense of care is gone, for he	M 11 A 5 M(30)
chosen now to trust instead of his own. Now he makes	M 11 A 5 M(30)
to keep it. The teacher of God lays it down happily	M 11 A 6 M(30)
he recognizes its cost. All of the ugliness he sees about	M 11 A 6 M(30)
him is its outcome. All of the pain he looks upon	M 11 A 6 M(30)
upon is its result. All of the loneliness and sense of	M 11 A 6 M(30)
of the loneliness and sense of loss; of passing time and	M 11 A 6 M(30)
loneliness and sense of loss; of passing time and growing hopelessness	M 11 A 6 M(30)
passing time and growing hopelessness; of sickening despair and fear of	M 11 A 6 M(30)
of sickening despair and fear of death; all these have come	M 11 A 6 M(30)
death; all these have come of it. And now he knows	M 11 A 6 M(30)
never were but the effects of his mistaken choice, have fallen	M 11 A 6 M(30)
have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will bring	M 11 A 6 M(30)
be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that	M 12 A 1 M(30)
we come to the question of judgment. This time, ask yourself	M 12 A 2 M(31)
your judgment or the Word of God is more likely to	M 12 A 2 M(31)
death as the inevitable end of life. Gods Word assures	M 12 A 2 M(31)
Who is right? For one of you is wrong. It must	M 12 A 2 M(31)
one without meaning and devoid of sense, yet out of which	M 12 A 3 M(31)
devoid of sense, yet out of which no way seems possible	M 12 A 3 M(31)
possible. But in the Judgment of God what is reflected here	M 12 A 3 M(31)
easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped. It is	M 12 A 4 M(31)
belongs here, because a Thought of God has entered. What else	M 12 A 4 M(31)
What else but a Thought of God turns hell to Heaven	M 12 A 4 M(31)
13. HOW MANY TEACHERS OF GOD ARE NEEDED TO SAVE	M 13 0 0 M(32)
Self Who is the Son of God. He Who was always	M 13 A 1 M(32)
forever and ever. His perception of Himself is based upon God	M 13 A 1 M(32)
Thus does the son of man become the Son of	M 13 A 2 M(32)
of man become the Son of God. It is not really	M 13 A 2 M(32)
change; it is a change of mind. Nothing external alters, but	M 13 A 2 M(32)
now reflects only the Love of God. God can no longer	M 13 A 2 M(32)
Why is the illusion of many necessary? Only because reality	M 13 A 3 M(32)
s teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the	M 13 A 4 M(33)
recognition of the proper purpose of the body. As they advance	M 13 A 4 M(33)
will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are	M 13 A 4 M(33)
hearer messages which are not of this world, and the mind	M 13 A 4 M(33)
the mind will understand because of their Source. From this understanding	M 13 A 4 M(33)
recognition, in this new teacher of God, of what the body	M 13 A 4 M(33)
this new teacher of God, of what the bodys purpose	M 13 A 4 M(33)
enough to let the Thought of Unity come in, and what	M 13 A 4 M(33)
recognized as One. The teachers of God appear to share the	M 13 A 4 M(33)
appear to share the illusion of separation, but because of what	M 13 A 4 M(33)
illusion of separation, but because of what they use the body	M 13 A 4 M(33)
it to bring the Word of God to those who have	M 13 A 5 M(33)
s condition. Yet the teacher of God does not make this	M 13 A 5 M(33)
made consciously, with full awareness of their consequences. The dream says	M 13 A 6 M(33)
for what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function	M 13 A 6 M(33)
dreaming is the real function of Gods teachers. They watch	M 13 A 6 M(33)
alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this	M 13 A 6 M(34)
WHAT IS THE REAL MEANING OF SACRIFICE?	M 7 0 0 M(34)
to give up the things of this world. What could this	M 7 A 1 M(34)
give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? It cannot mean	M 7 A 2 M(34)
that you have less because of it. There is no sacrifice	M 7 A 2 M(34)
its identity and losing sight of what it really is.	M 7 A 2 M(34)
understand that all the pleasures of the world are nothing. But	M 7 A 3 M(35)
on giving up the pleasures of the world. Is it a	M 7 A 4 M(35)
adult resent the giving up of childrens toys? Does one	M 7 A 4 M(35)
has already glimpsed the Face of Christ look back with longing	M 7 A 4 M(35)
rejoice that he is free of all the sacrifice which its	M 7 A 4 M(35)
which its values would demand of him. To them he sacrifices	M 7 A 4 M(35)
must he sacrifice his hope of Heaven and remembrance of his	M 7 A 4 M(35)
hope of Heaven and remembrance of his Fathers Love. Who	M 7 A 4 M(35)
What is the real meaning of sacrifice? It is the cost	M 7 A 5 M(35)
sacrifice? It is the cost of believing in illusions. It is	M 7 A 5 M(35)
be paid for the denial of truth. There is no pleasure	M 7 A 5 M(35)
truth. There is no pleasure of the world that does not	M 7 A 5 M(35)
it. It is the idea of sacrifice that makes him blind	M 7 A 5 M(35)
believe this course requires sacrifice of all you really hold dear	M 7 A 6 M(36)
always means the giving up of what you want. And what	M 7 A 6 M(36)
want. And what, oh teacher of God, is it that you	M 7 A 6 M(36)
bit in hell. The Word of God has no exceptions. It	M 7 A 7 M(36)
to happen at the sacrifice of truth. M 14 A	M 7 A 7 M(36)
14 A 8 Teacher of God, do not forget the	M 7 A 8 M(36)
do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember what each	M 7 A 8 M(36)
make must mean in terms of cost. Decide for God, and	M 7 A 8 M(36)
choose nothing at the expense of the awareness of everything. What	M 7 A 8 M(36)
the expense of the awareness of everything. What would you teach	M 7 A 8 M(36)
you, for He has need of teachers. What other way is	M 7 A 8 M(36)
its ending be an illusion of mercy. The illusion of forgiveness	M 15 A 1 M(37)
illusion of mercy. The illusion of forgiveness, complete, excluding no one	M 15 A 1 M(37)
and is gone. The father of illusions is the belief that	M 15 A 1 M(37)
for here there is need of Him indeed. He brings the	M 15 A 2 M(37)
indeed. He brings the ending of the world with Him. It	M 15 A 2 M(37)
will end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not	M 15 A 2 M(37)
it. When not one thought of sin remains, the world is	M 15 A 2 M(37)
away. When not one thought of sin remains appears to be	M 15 A 3 M(37)
and waits on the goals of Gods teachers. Not one	M 15 A 3 M(37)
s teachers. Not one thought of sin will remain the instant	M 15 A 3 M(37)
remain the instant any one of them accepts the Atonement for	M 15 A 3 M(37)
sin than to forgive all of them. The illusion of orders	M 15 A 3 M(37)
all of them. The illusion of orders of difficulty is an	M 15 A 3 M(37)
them. The illusion of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the	M 15 A 3 M(37)
is an obstacle the teacher of God must learn to pass	M 15 A 3 M(37)
perfectly forgiven by one teacher of God can make salvation complete	M 15 A 3 M(37)
goes against all the thinking of the world, so does Heaven	M 15 A 3 M(38)
Until then, bits and pieces of its thinking will still seem	M 15 A 4 M(38)
lesson which brings the ending of the world cannot be grasped	M 15 A 4 M(38)
What, then, is the function of the teacher of God in	M 15 A 4 M(38)
the function of the teacher of God in this concluding lesson	M 15 A 4 M(38)
because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come	M 15 A 5 M(38)
joy has come the purpose of the world has gone. The	M 15 A 5 M(38)
because it is a place of war. When peace has come	M 15 A 5 M(38)
come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will	M 15 A 5 M(38)
because it is a place of tears. Where there is laughter	M 15 A 5 M(38)
into Heaven is the function of Gods teachers, for what	M 15 A 5 M(38)
everyone may hear this judgment of the Son of God: Holy	M 16 A 1 M(39)
this judgment of the Son of God: Holy are you, eternal	M 16 A 1 M(39)
peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world	M 16 A 1 M(39)
your judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you believe that	M 16 A 2 M(39)
it is true. One instant of complete belief in this, and	M 16 A 2 M(39)
to Certainty. One instant out of time can bring times	M 16 A 2 M(39)
judgment on the world, teacher of God? Have you yet learned	M 16 A 2 M(39)
aside and hear the Voice of Judgment in yourself? Or do	M 16 A 2 M(39)
best efforts meet with lack of appreciation and even with contempt	M 16 A 3 M(40)
hold out to you, regardless of your judgments on its gifts	M 16 A 3 M(40)
17. HOW SHOULD THE TEACHER OF GOD SPEND HIS DAY?	M 17 0 0 M(40)
To the advanced teacher of God this question is meaningless	M 17 A 1 M(40)
day. Yet he is sure of but one thing; they do	M 17 A 1 M(40)
day. For the advanced teacher of God, then, this question is	M 17 A 1 M(40)
yet ready for such lack of structuring on their own part	M 17 A 2 M(40)
are obvious advantages in terms of saving time if the need	M 17 A 2 M(41)
wise to think in terms of time. This is by no	M 17 A 3 M(41)
simplest to observe. The saving of time is an essential early	M 17 A 3 M(41)
must depend on the teacher of God himself. He cannot claim	M 17 A 3 M(41)
are learning within the framework of our course. After completion of	M 17 A 3 M(41)
of our course. After completion of the more structured practice periods	M 17 A 3 M(41)
may be that the teacher of God is not in a	M 17 A 4 M(41)
your mind into a pattern of rest, and orients you away	M 17 A 5 M(42)
close your eyes and think of God. M 17 A	M 17 A 5 M(42)
day. It is a thought of pure joy; a thought of	M 17 A 6 M(42)
of pure joy; a thought of peace, a thought of limitless	M 17 A 6 M(42)
thought of peace, a thought of limitless release, - limitless because	M 17 A 6 M(42)
think you made a place of safety for yourself. You think	M 17 A 6 M(42)
up is merely the illusion of protecting illusions. And it is	M 17 A 6 M(42)
foolish to be so afraid of nothing! Nothing at all! Your	M 17 A 6 M(42)
danger. You have no need of them. Recognize this and they	M 17 A 6 M(42)
slip by for the teacher of God who has accepted His	M 17 A 7 M(42)
did before in the name of safety no longer interests him	M 17 A 7 M(42)
Whom he turns with all of them recognizes no order of	M 17 A 7 M(42)
of them recognizes no order of difficulty in resolving them. He	M 17 A 7 M(42)
along the way the teacher of God has yet to travel	M 17 A 8 M(42)
travel, and he has need of reminding himself throughout the day	M 17 A 8 M(42)
reminding himself throughout the day of his protection. How can he	M 17 A 8 M(42)
be sure success is not of him, but will be given	M 17 A 8 M(42)
A 9 The avoidance of magic is the avoidance of	M 17 A 9 M(43)
of magic is the avoidance of temptation. For all temptation is	M 17 A 9 M(43)
as merely nothing, the teacher of God has reached the most	M 17 A 9 M(43)
nearer to recognition. For magic of any kind, in any form	M 17 A 9 M(43)
no substitute for the Will of God. In simple statement, it	M 17 A 10 M(43)
simple fact that the teacher of God devotes his day. Each	M 17 A 10 M(43)
sacrifice and separation, two aspects of one error and no more	M 17 A 10 M(43)
learn to recognize the forms of magic and perceive their meaninglessness	M 17 A 11 M(44)
go. And thus the Gate of Heaven is reopened, and its	M 17 A 11 M(44)
DEAL WITH THEIR PUPILS THOUGHTS OF MAGIC?	M 18 0 0 M(44)
issue is mishandled, the teacher of God has hurt himself and	M 18 A 1 M(44)
seem quite real to both of them. How to deal with	M 18 A 1 M(44)
major lesson for the teacher of God to master. His first	M 18 A 1 M(44)
wish that makes the help of little value, and must lead	M 18 A 2 M(44)
shown than in the kinds of help the teacher gives to	M 18 A 2 M(44)
judgment upon the holy Son of God. M 18 A	M 18 A 2 M(45)
can enter only if perception of separate goals has entered. And	M 18 A 3 M(45)
but joy. The single aim of the teacher turns the divided	M 18 A 3 M(45)
teacher turns the divided goal of the pupil into one direction	M 18 A 3 M(45)
rise to negative emotions, regardless of their seeming justification by what	M 18 A 4 M(45)
appears as fact, regardless, too, of the intensity of the anger	M 18 A 4 M(45)
regardless, too, of the intensity of the anger which is aroused	M 18 A 4 M(45)
may also take the form of intense rage, accompanied by thoughts	M 18 A 4 M(45)
intense rage, accompanied by thoughts of violence, fantasized or apparently acted	M 18 A 4 M(45)
It does not matter. All of these reactions are the same	M 18 A 4 M(45)
can never be a matter of degree. Either truth is apparent	M 18 A 4 M(45)
partially recognized. Who is unaware of truth must see illusions.	M 18 A 4 M(45)
thoughts is the basic cause of fear. Consider what this reaction	M 18 A 5 M(45)
that can oppose the Will of God and succeed. That this	M 18 A 5 M(45)
And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the place	M 18 A 5 M(45)
guilt. Who usurps the place of God and takes it for	M 18 A 5 M(45)
Do not remember the immensity of the enemy, and do not	M 18 A 6 M(46)
not retain the slightest memory of Who your great opponent really	M 18 A 6 M(46)
You have usurped the place of God. Think not He has	M 18 A 7 M(46)
Here we have the fear of God most starkly represented. For	M 18 A 7 M(46)
raised madness to the throne of God Himself. And now there	M 18 A 7 M(46)
be done without. The stain of blood can never be removed	M 18 A 7 M(46)
teachers. They bring the light of hope from God Himself. There	M 18 A 8 M(46)
Hardly so. Remember then, teacher of God, that anger recognizes a	M 18 A 9 M(47)
does not exist. The fear of God is causeless. But His	M 18 A 9 M(47)
But His Love is Cause of everything beyond all fear, and	M 18 A 9 M(47)
19 A 1 Correction of a lasting nature, and only	M 19 A 1 M(47)
be made until the teacher of God has ceased to confuse	M 19 A 1 M(47)
another form. Yet the dream of salvation has new content. It	M 19 A 1 M(47)
Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son	M 19 A 2 M(47)
now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now	M 19 A 2 M(47)
the reality of the Son of God. Now He can remind	M 19 A 2 M(47)
He can remind the world of sinlessness, the one unchanged, unchangeable	M 19 A 2 M(47)
the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of all that God created. Now	M 19 A 2 M(47)
He can speak the Word of God to listening ears, and	M 19 A 2 M(47)
teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they	M 19 A 2 M(47)
tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth becomes diminutive	M 19 A 3 M(48)
becomes essential for the teacher of God to let all his	M 19 A 4 M(48)
senses even the faintest hint of irritation in himself as he	M 19 A 4 M(48)
with him. The sole responsibility of Gods teacher is to	M 19 A 4 M(48)
means correction, or the undoing of errors. When this has been	M 19 A 4 M(48)
has been accomplished, the teacher of God becomes a miracle worker	M 19 A 4 M(48)
basis for all the judgments of the world. Justice corrects the	M 20 A 1 M(48)
in the world is capable of making only just interpretations and	M 20 A 1 M(49)
need for salvation. The thought of separation would have been forever	M 20 A 1 M(49)
small step in the direction of the other. The path becomes	M 20 A 2 M(49)
all the magnificence, the grandeur of the scene and the enormous	M 20 A 2 M(49)
one proceeds, fall short indeed of all that waits when the	M 20 A 2 M(49)
A 3 All concepts of your brothers and yourself; all	M 20 A 3 M(49)
brothers and yourself; all fears of future states and all concern	M 20 A 3 M(49)
distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted world back to	M 20 A 3 M(49)
and arbitrarily is every concept of the world built up just	M 20 A 3 M(49)
selectivity in which all thought of wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness	M 20 A 3 M(49)
to your awareness the wholeness of the fragments you perceive as	M 20 A 4 M(49)
this that overcomes the fear of death, for separate fragments must	M 20 A 4 M(49)
attributing to God the lens of warped perception through which you	M 20 A 4 M(49)
to you. You are afraid of Him, and do not see	M 20 A 4 M(49)
now been found. The peace of God descends on all the	M 20 A 5 M(50)
21. WHAT IS THE PEACE OF GOD?	M 21 0 0 M(50)
that there is a kind of peace that is not of	M 21 A 1 M(50)
of peace that is not of this world. How is it	M 21 A 1 M(50)
retained? Let us consider each of these questions separately, for each	M 21 A 1 M(50)
First, how can the peace of God be recognized? Gods	M 21 A 2 M(50)
it is not a contrast of true differences. The past just	M 21 A 2 M(50)
condition for finding the peace of God. More than this, given	M 21 A 3 M(50)
How is the peace of God retained, once it is	M 21 A 4 M(51)
a moment now and think of this: Is conflict what you	M 21 A 4 M(51)
and it is but illusion of an end. Death cannot be	M 21 A 5 M(51)
What is the peace of God? No more than this	M 21 A 6 M(51)
Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to	M 21 A 6 M(51)
apart from Him? The Will of God is One and all	M 21 A 6 M(51)
stars, and all the thoughts of which you can conceive, belong	M 21 A 6 M(51)
22. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF WORDS IN HEALING?	M 22 0 0 M(52)
this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the	M 22 A 1 M(52)
keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful	M 22 A 1 M(52)
or at least the control of extraneous thoughts. Let us not	M 22 A 1 M(52)
that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice	M 22 A 1 M(52)
the healing process. The prayer of the heart does not really	M 22 A 2 M(52)
It always requests some kind of experience, the specific things asked	M 22 A 2 M(52)
asked for being the bringers of the desired experience in the	M 22 A 2 M(52)
desired experience in the judgment of the asker. The words, then	M 22 A 2 M(52)
The prayer for things of this world will bring experiences	M 22 A 3 M(52)
this world will bring experiences of this world. If the prayer	M 22 A 3 M(52)
this world. If the prayer of the heart asks for this	M 22 A 3 M(52)
is impossible that the prayer of the heart remain unanswered in	M 22 A 3 M(52)
remain unanswered in the perception of the one who asks. If	M 22 A 3 M(52)
becomes his own. The power of his decision offers it to	M 22 A 3 M(52)
and Heaven. The sleeping Son of God has but this power	M 22 A 3 M(52)
not matter. Only the Word of God has any meaning, because	M 22 A 3 M(52)
4 Is the teacher of God then to avoid the	M 22 A 4 M(53)
then to avoid the use of words in his teaching? No	M 22 A 4 M(53)
hear in silence. The teacher of God must, however, learn to	M 22 A 4 M(53)
is merely a special case of the Workbook lesson I will	M 22 A 4 M(53)
lead the way. The teacher of God accepts the words which	M 22 A 4 M(53)
does not control the direction of his speaking. He listens and	M 22 A 4 M(53)
major hindrance in this aspect of his learning is the teacher	M 22 A 5 M(53)
his learning is the teacher of Gods fear about the	M 22 A 5 M(53)
s fear about the validity of what he hears. And what	M 22 A 5 M(53)
words they use the power of His Spirit, raising them from	M 22 A 5 M(53)
meaningless symbols to the call of Heaven itself. 23	M 22 A 5 M(53)
identical. There is no order of difficulty in miracles because there	M 23 A 1 M(53)
because there are no degrees of Atonement. It is the one	M 23 A 1 M(53)
because it is the source of a wholly unified perception. Partial	M 23 A 1 M(53)
idea, just as special areas of hell in Heaven is inconceivable	M 23 A 1 M(53)
healed. Atonement is the Word of God. Accept His Word and	M 23 A 1 M(53)
is to heal. The teacher of God has taken accepting the	M 23 A 1 M(53)
A 2 The progress of the teacher of God may	M 23 A 2 M(54)
The progress of the teacher of God may be slow or	M 23 A 2 M(54)
a sudden and complete awareness of the perfect applicability of the	M 23 A 2 M(54)
awareness of the perfect applicability of the lesson of Atonement to	M 23 A 2 M(54)
perfect applicability of the lesson of Atonement to all situations. This	M 23 A 2 M(54)
is comparatively rare. The teacher of God may have accepted the	M 23 A 2 M(54)
the way, the necessary realization of inclusiveness may reach him. If	M 23 A 2 M(54)
take. What more is asked of him? And having done what	M 23 A 2 M(54)
be understood, if the teacher of God is to make progress	M 23 A 3 M(54)
mind, and keeps the idea of attack inviolate. If the body	M 23 A 3 M(54)
would merely take the place of God and prove salvation is	M 23 A 3 M(54)
The body has become lord of the mind. How could the	M 23 A 3 M(54)
applied to all specific forms of sickness, both in the individual	M 23 A 4 M(54)
in the individuals perception of himself and of all others	M 23 A 4 M(54)
s perception of himself and of all others as well. Nor	M 23 A 4 M(54)
this level that the teacher of God calls forth the miracle	M 23 A 4 M(54)
God calls forth the miracle of healing. He overlooks the mind	M 23 A 4 M(54)
body, seeing only the Face of Christ shining in front of	M 23 A 4 M(54)
of Christ shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and	M 23 A 4 M(54)
perception. Healing is the result of the recognition, by Gods	M 23 A 4 M(54)
recognition, by Gods teacher, of Who it is that is	M 23 A 4 M(54)
is that is in need of healing. This recognition has no	M 23 A 4 M(54)
special reference. It is true of all things that God created	M 23 A 4 M(54)
5 When a teacher of God fails to heal, it	M 23 A 5 M(55)
heal. Step back now, teacher of God. You have been wrong	M 23 A 5 M(55)
A 6 The offer of Atonement is universal. It is	M 23 A 6 M(55)
power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not	M 23 A 6 M(55)
all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not to believe this	M 23 A 6 M(55)
task to heal the sense of separation that has made him	M 23 A 6 M(55)
Who can limit the power of God Himself? Who then can	M 23 A 7 M(55)
say who can be healed of what, and what must remain	M 23 A 7 M(55)
his judgment from the Son of God, accepting him as God	M 23 A 7 M(55)
directly. Even the most advanced of Gods teachers will give	M 24 A 1 M(56)
pupils were denied healing because of this? The Bible says Ask	M 24 A 1 M(56)
says Ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Is this merely	M 24 A 1 M(56)
the appeal to him part of healing? M 24 A	M 24 A 1 M(56)
has become the risen Son of God. He has overcome death	M 24 A 2 M(56)
all living things as part of him. There is now no	M 24 A 2 M(56)
because it is the Power of God. So has his name	M 24 A 2 M(56)
his name become the Name of God, for he no longer	M 24 A 2 M(56)
remembering God. The whole relationship of the Son to the Father	M 24 A 3 M(56)
A 4 The name of Jesus Christ as such is	M 24 A 4 M(56)
for love that is not of this world. It is a	M 24 A 4 M(56)
replacement for the many names of all the gods you pray	M 24 A 4 M(56)
shining symbol for the Word of God, so close to What	M 24 A 4 M(56)
sees in it an image of his Father. You become the	M 24 A 5 M(57)
Father. You become the symbol of his Father here on earth	M 24 A 5 M(57)
you not learn the lesson of salvation through his learning? Why	M 24 A 5 M(57)
a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet	M 24 A 6 M(57)
went beyond the farthest reach of learning. He will take you	M 24 A 6 M(57)
very present help in time of trouble; a Savior who can	M 24 A 7 M(57)
a many-faceted curriculum, not because of content differences but because symbols	M 24 A 7 M(57)
nor future, and the idea of birth into a body has	M 25 A 1 M(58)
concept helpful? And that depends, of course, on what it is	M 25 A 1 M(58)
used to strengthen the recognition of the eternal nature of life	M 25 A 1 M(58)
recognition of the eternal nature of life it is helpful indeed	M 25 A 1 M(58)
present. In between, many kinds of folly are possible. M	M 25 A 1 M(58)
it were responsible for some of the difficulties the individual faces	M 25 A 2 M(58)
seeing the present in terms of the past. There is always	M 25 A 2 M(58)
stand on reincarnation. A teacher of God should be as helpful	M 25 A 3 M(58)
stand on it were required of him, it would merely limit	M 25 A 3 M(58)
not acceptable to anyone, regardless of his formal beliefs. His ego	M 25 A 3 M(58)
and it is not part of wisdom to add sectarian controversies	M 25 A 3 M(58)
advantage in his premature acceptance of the course merely because it	M 25 A 3 M(58)
it advocates a long-held belief of his own.	M 25 A 3 M(58)
aims at a complete reversal of thought. When this is finally	M 25 A 4 M(59)
issues such as the validity of reincarnation become meaningless. Until then	M 25 A 4 M(59)
be merely controversial. The teacher of God is therefore wise to	M 25 A 4 M(59)
this mean that the teacher of God should not believe in	M 25 A 5 M(59)
this much is not required of the beginner. He need merely	M 25 A 5 M(59)
A 6 The emphasis of this course always remains the	M 25 A 6 M(59)
the past and total lack of interest in the future. Heaven	M 25 A 6 M(59)
not lead to this is of concern to Gods teachers	M 25 A 6 M(59)
the preceding one. There are, of course, no unnatural powers, and	M 26 A 1 M(60)
each individual has many abilities of which he is unaware. As	M 26 A 1 M(60)
slightest with the glorious surprise of remembering Who he is. Let	M 26 A 1 M(60)
limited to the small range of channels the world recognizes. If	M 26 A 2 M(60)
chief barrier to direct experience of the Holy Spirit, Whose Presence	M 26 A 2 M(60)
These limits are placed out of fear, for without them the	M 26 A 2 M(60)
surround all the separate places of the world would fall at	M 26 A 2 M(60)
fall at the holy sound of His Voice. Who transcends these	M 26 A 2 M(60)
aids. To this, the question of how they arise is irrelevant	M 26 A 3 M(60)
to everyone. Only by tricks of magic are special powers demonstrated	M 26 A 3 M(60)
The Holy Spirit is incapable of deception, and He can use	M 26 A 4 M(61)
longer value the material things of the world may still be	M 26 A 5 M(61)
potential usefulness. Salvation has need of all abilities, for what the	M 26 A 6 M(61)
is also a great channel of hope and healing in the	M 26 A 6 M(61)
powers have merely let some of the limitations they laid upon	M 26 A 6 M(61)
can arise across the threshold of the unconscious only where all	M 27 A 1 M(62)
Here then is the role of Gods teachers. They too	M 27 A 1 M(62)
their joining is the Power of God. M 27 A	M 27 A 1 M(62)
God directly, retaining no trace of worldly limits and remembering their	M 27 A 2 M(62)
might be called the Teachers of teachers because, although they are	M 27 A 2 M(62)
vain. Nor is there anyone of whom they are unaware. All	M 27 A 2 M(62)
their gifts to the teachers of God who look to them	M 27 A 2 M(62)
3 Sometimes a teacher of God may have a brief	M 27 A 3 M(62)
may have a brief experience of direct union with God. In	M 27 A 3 M(62)
then be maintained for most of the time on earth. But	M 27 A 3 M(62)
Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function	M 27 A 4 M(63)
it not madness to think of life as being born, aging	M 28 A 1 M(63)
the one fixed, unchangeable belief of the world that all things	M 28 A 1 M(63)
is regarded as the way of nature, not to be raised	M 28 A 1 M(63)
accepted as the natural law of life. The cyclical, the changing	M 28 A 1 M(63)
is taken as the Will of God. And no one asks	M 28 A 1 M(63)
2 In this perception of the universe as God created	M 28 A 2 M(63)
not be possible to think of Him as loving. For who	M 28 A 2 M(63)
such a god knows not of love, because he has denied	M 28 A 2 M(63)
Death is the symbol of the fear of God. His	M 28 A 3 M(64)
the symbol of the fear of God. His Love is blotted	M 28 A 3 M(64)
obscure the sun. The grimness of the symbol is enough to	M 28 A 3 M(64)
God. It holds an image of the Son of God in	M 28 A 3 M(64)
an image of the Son of God in which he is	M 28 A 3 M(64)
do all things live because of death. Devouring is natures	M 28 A 3 M(64)
Devouring is natures law of life. God is insane, and	M 28 A 3 M(64)
belief that there is part of dying things that may go	M 28 A 4 M(64)
There is either a god of fear or One of Love	M 28 A 4 M(64)
god of fear or One of Love. The world attempts a	M 28 A 4 M(64)
A 5 The reality of death is firmly rooted in	M 28 A 5 M(64)
the contrast between the perception of the real world and that	M 28 A 5 M(64)
the real world and that of the world of illusions becomes	M 28 A 5 M(64)
and that of the world of illusions becomes more sharply evident	M 28 A 5 M(64)
Death is indeed the death of God, if He is Love	M 28 A 5 M(64)
creation must stand in fear of Him. He is not Father	M 28 A 5 M(64)
be overcome will be death. Of course! Without the idea of	M 28 A 6 M(65)
Of course! Without the idea of death there is no world	M 28 A 6 M(65)
s final goal; the end of all illusions. And in death	M 28 A 6 M(65)
born. What can be born of death and still have life	M 28 A 6 M(65)
life? But what is born of God and still can die	M 28 A 6 M(65)
28 A 7 Teacher of God, your one assignment could	M 28 A 7 M(65)
not deceived by the reality of any changing form. Truth neither	M 28 A 7 M(65)
And what is the end of death? Nothing but this; the	M 28 A 7 M(65)
the realization that the Son of God is guiltless now and	M 28 A 7 M(65)
is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening	M 29 A 1 M(66)
or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of	M 29 A 1 M(66)
of mind about the meaning of the world. It is the	M 29 A 1 M(66)
world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirits interpretation	M 29 A 1 M(66)
the Holy Spirits interpretation of the worlds purpose; the	M 29 A 1 M(66)
worlds purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It	M 29 A 1 M(66)
oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery and the	M 29 A 1 M(66)
is the end of dreams of misery and the glad awareness	M 29 A 1 M(66)
misery and the glad awareness of the Holy Spirits final	M 29 A 1 M(66)
dream. It is the recognition of the gifts of God. It	M 29 A 1 M(66)
the recognition of the gifts of God. It is the dream	M 29 A 1 M(66)
step. It is the relinquishment of all other purposes, all other	M 29 A 1 M(66)
It is the single desire of the Son for the Father	M 29 A 1 M(66)
The resurrection is the denial of death, being the assertion of	M 29 A 2 M(66)
of death, being the assertion of life. Thus is all the	M 29 A 2 M(66)
Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life	M 29 A 2 M(66)
salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell	M 29 A 2 M(66)
have disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the	M 29 A 2 M(66)
darkness apart from the light of forgiveness. There is no sorrow	M 29 A 2 M(66)
upon the earth. The joy of Heaven has come upon it	M 29 A 2 M(66)
peace has come. The goal of the curriculum has been achieved	M 29 A 3 M(66)
left to contradict the Word of God. There is no opposition	M 29 A 3 M(66)
are tranquil, with a stir of deep anticipation, for the time	M 29 A 4 M(67)
deep anticipation, for the time of everlasting things is now at	M 29 A 4 M(67)
is no death. The Son of God is free. And in	M 29 A 4 M(67)
His freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places now	M 29 A 4 M(67)
to shelter sick illusions, dreams of fear and misperceptions of the	M 29 A 4 M(67)
dreams of fear and misperceptions of the universe. All things are	M 29 A 4 M(67)
our perfect sinlessness. The song of Heaven sounds around the world	M 29 A 4 M(67)
We have seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His Love	M 29 A 5 M(67)
to be our own. Illusions of another will are lost, for	M 29 A 5 M(67)
will are lost, for unity of purpose has been found.	M 29 A 5 M(67)
as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams the thought of	M 29 A 6 M(67)
of evil dreams the thought of hell is real. Gods	M 29 A 6 M(67)
s teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those	M 29 A 6 M(67)
goal of wakening the minds of those asleep, and seeing there	M 29 A 6 M(67)
and seeing there the vision of Christs face to take	M 29 A 6 M(67)
face to take the place of what they dream. The thought	M 29 A 6 M(67)
what they dream. The thought of murder is replaced with blessing	M 29 A 6 M(67)
truth about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for	M 29 A 6 M(67)
it covers only a few of the more obvious ones, in	M 30 A 1 M(68)
more obvious ones, in terms of a brief summary of some	M 30 A 1 M(68)
terms of a brief summary of some of the major concepts	M 30 A 1 M(68)
a brief summary of some of the major concepts in the	M 30 A 1 M(68)
at the more abstract level of the text. M 30	M 30 A 1 M(68)
questions alone. Surely no teacher of God has come this far	M 30 A 2 M(68)
right. Would you say that of yours? M 30 A	M 30 A 2 M(68)
Perhaps you have not thought of this aspect, but its centrality	M 30 A 3 M(68)
to let yourself be absolved of guilt. It is the essence	M 30 A 3 M(68)
guilt. It is the essence of the Atonement. It is the	M 30 A 3 M(68)
Atonement. It is the core of the curriculum. The imagined usurping	M 30 A 3 M(68)
the curriculum. The imagined usurping of functions not your own is	M 30 A 3 M(68)
your own is the basis of fear. The whole world you	M 30 A 3 M(68)
this that lets the memory of love return to	M 30 A 3 M(68)
guidance is necessary merely because of your own inadequacies. It is	M 30 A 3 M(69)
It is the way out of hell for you. M	M 30 A 3 M(69)
in the course. To say, Of myself I can do nothing	M 30 A 4 M(69)

your foolish images, your sense of frailty and your fear of	M 30 A 7 M(70)
of frailty and your fear of harm, your dreams of danger	M 30 A 7 M(70)

Psychotherapy is the only form of therapy there is. Since only	P 1 A 1 P(1)
the mind is in need of healing. This does not appear	P 1 A 1 P(1)
the case, for the manifestations of this world seem real indeed	P 1 A 1 P(1)
some change in his perception of interpersonal relationships that enables him	P 1 A 1 P(1)
his mind about the reality of illusions. 2. THE PURPOSE	P 1 A 1 P(1)
illusions. 2. THE PURPOSE OF PSYCHOTHERAPY A. Introduction	P 2 A 0 P(1)
Very simply, the purpose of psychotherapy is to remove the	P 2 A 1 P(1)
it His Own great gift of rejoicing? What higher goal could	P 2 A 2 P(1)
this is the proper purpose of psychotherapy. Could anything be holier	P 2 A 2 P(1)
Everyone who needs help, regardless of the form of his distress	P 2 A 3 P(2)
help, regardless of the form of his distress, is attacking himself	P 2 A 3 P(2)
attacking himself, and his peace of mind is suffering in consequence	P 2 A 3 P(2)
and helpless in the power of the world. P 2	P 2 A 3 P(2)
see himself as really capable of making decisions. And he will	P 2 A 4 P(2)
The patient need not think of truth as God in order	P 2 A 5 P(2)
under His direction is one of the means He uses to	P 2 A 5 P(2)
3. THE PROCESS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY A. Introduction	P 3 0 0 P(3)
process that changes the view of the self. At best this	P 3 A 1 P(3)
but only at the cost of making illusions true. The patient	P 3 A 2 P(3)
self-concepts, but their respective perceptions of improvement still must differ. The	P 3 A 3 P(3)
3 A 4 Regardless of how advanced the therapist himself	P 3 A 4 P(3)
believes is real. The task of therapy is one of reconciling	P 3 A 4 P(3)
task of therapy is one of reconciling these differences. Hopefully, both	P 3 A 4 P(3)
unrealistic goals not completely free of magical overtones.	P 3 A 4 P(3)
given up in the minds of both. B. The Limits	P 3 A 4 P(4)
the realization that healing is of the mind, and in psychotherapy	P 3 B 1 P(4)
his own readiness. Yet levels of readiness change, and when therapist	P 3 B 1 P(4)
it holier. Or perhaps each of them will enter into another	P 3 B 1 P(4)
into another commitment. Be assured of this; each will progress. Retrogression	P 3 B 1 P(4)
The overall direction is one of progress toward the truth.	P 3 B 1 P(4)
be creative. This is one of the errors which the ego	P 3 B 2 P(4)
fosters; that it is capable of true change, and therefore of	P 3 B 2 P(4)
of true change, and therefore of true creativity. When we speak	P 3 B 2 P(4)
true creativity. When we speak of the saving illusion or the	P 3 B 2 P(4)
defense. Resistance is its way of looking at things; its interpretation	P 3 B 2 P(4)
looking at things; its interpretation of progress and growth. These interpretations	P 3 B 2 P(4)
These interpretations will be wrong of necessity, because they are delusional	P 3 B 2 P(4)
patterns. Yet what is made of nothingness cannot be called new	P 3 B 2 P(4)
defined here can be characteristic of a therapist as well as	P 3 B 3 P(4)
a therapist as well as of a patient. Either way, it	P 3 B 3 P(4)
Spirit fight against the intrusions of the ego on the therapeutic	P 3 B 3 P(4)
Ideally, psychotherapy is a series of holy encounters in which brothers	P 3 B 4 P(5)
and to receive the peace of God. And this will one	P 3 B 4 P(5)
every patient on the face of this earth, for who except	P 3 B 4 P(5)
a somewhat more specialized Teacher of God. He learns through teaching	P 3 B 4 P(5)
last. C. The Place of Religion in Psychotherapy	P 3 C 0 P(5)
To be a Teacher of God, it is not necessary	P 3 C 1 P(5)
Relationships are still the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and they	P 3 C 1 P(5)
All blocks to the remembrance of God are forms of unforgiveness	P 3 C 3 P(6)
remembrance of God are forms of unforgiveness, and nothing else. This	P 3 C 3 P(6)
in it lies the ending of the world and all it	P 3 C 3 P(6)
it is not the awareness of God that constitutes a reasonable	P 3 C 4 P(6)
unbelief is possible, but knowledge of God has no true opposite	P 3 C 4 P(6)
to different people. Some forms of religion have nothing to do	P 3 C 5 P(6)
with God, and some forms of psychotherapy have nothing to do	P 3 C 5 P(6)
the same way, a union of purpose between patient and therapist	P 3 C 5 P(6)
and therapist restores the place of God to ascendance, first through	P 3 C 5 P(6)
and then through the memory of God Himself. The process of	P 3 C 5 P(6)
of God Himself. The process of psychotherapy is the return to	P 3 C 5 P(6)
the teacher does not think of God as part of teaching	P 3 C 7 P(7)
think of God as part of teaching. Perhaps the psychotherapist does	P 3 C 7 P(7)
the same requirement salvation asks of everyone. Each one must share	P 3 C 8 P(7)
so doing, lose all sense of separate interests. Only by doing	P 3 C 8 P(7)
D. The Role of the Psychotherapist	P 3 D 0 P(8)
that he walks slightly ahead of the patient, and helps him	P 3 D 1 P(8)
him to avoid a few of the pitfalls along the road	P 3 D 1 P(8)
for One should walk ahead of him to give him light	P 3 D 1 P(8)
is limited by the limitations of the psychotherapist, as it is	P 3 D 2 P(8)
it is limited by those of the patient. The aim of	P 3 D 2 P(8)
of the patient. The aim of the process, therefore, is to	P 3 D 2 P(8)
given them. Now the extent of their success depends on how	P 3 D 2 P(8)
success depends on how much of this potentiality they are willing	P 3 D 2 P(8)
grow. Progress becomes a matter of decision; it can reach almost	P 3 D 2 P(8)
to answer in the form of help. This is the formula	P 3 D 3 P(8)
to him or even know of his existence. His simple Presence	P 3 D 3 P(8)
that stands at the end of the process of healing, too	P 3 D 4 P(8)
the end of the process of healing, too advanced to believe	P 3 D 4 P(8)
help through those in need of help, for thus he carries	P 3 D 4 P(8)
receives them from the Mind of Christ. E. The Process	P 3 D 4 P(9)
Christ. E. The Process of Illness P	P 3 E 0 P(9)
a judgment on the Son of God, and judgment is a	P 3 E 1 P(9)
illness be except an expression of sorrow and of guilt? And	P 3 E 1 P(9)
an expression of sorrow and of guilt? And who could weep	P 3 E 1 P(9)
be nothing that a change of mind cannot effect, for all	P 3 E 2 P(9)
external things are only shadows of a decision already made. Change	P 3 E 2 P(9)
among the more respectable therapists of the world, and justly so	P 3 E 4 P(9)
justly so. For not one of them can cure, and not	P 3 E 4 P(9)
can cure, and not one of them understands healing. At worst	P 3 E 4 P(9)
perhaps questionable here, the healers of the world may recognize the	P 3 E 5 P(10)
the mind as the source of illness. But their error lies	P 3 E 5 P(10)
in a world where degrees of error is a meaningful concept	P 3 E 5 P(10)
been overcome until the meaning of love is understood. And who	P 3 E 5 P(10)
understand this without the Word of God, given by Him to	P 3 E 5 P(10)
3 E 6 Illness of any kind may be defined	P 3 E 6 P(10)
be defined as the result of a view of the self	P 3 E 6 P(10)
the result of a view of the self as weak, vulnerable	P 3 E 6 P(10)
endangered, and thus in need of constant defense. Yet if such	P 3 E 6 P(10)
circle closed against the inroads of salvation. P 3 E	P 3 E 6 P(10)
by first establishing the rightness of the mistake and then overlooking	P 3 E 7 P(10)
opposes truth. Perhaps an illusion of health is substituted for a	P 3 E 7 P(10)
illusions, for it is part of them. It will escape and	P 3 E 7 P(10)
another form, being the source of all illusions.	P 3 E 7 P(10)
there are no degrees. One of the illusions by which sickness	P 3 E 8 P(11)
in intensity; that the degree of threat differs according to the	P 3 E 8 P(11)
takes. Herein lies the basis of all errors, for all of	P 3 E 8 P(11)
of all errors, for all of them are but attempts to	P 3 E 8 P(11)
seeing just a little bit of hell. This is a mockery	P 3 E 8 P(11)
attacking him. This curious circle of attack-defense is one of the	P 3 E 9 P(11)
circle of attack-defense is one of the most difficult problems with	P 3 E 9 P(11)
his central task; the core of psychotherapy. The therapist is seen	P 3 E 9 P(11)
most cherished possession; his picture of himself. And since this picture	P 3 E 9 P(11)
seen as a real source of danger, to be attacked and	P 3 E 9 P(11)
threat. This is the corollary of the original sin; the belief	P 3 E 10 P(11)
single doctrine is the goal of all therapy. Relieve the mind	P 3 E 11 P(11)
all therapy. Relieve the mind of the insane burden of guilt	P 3 E 11 P(11)
mind of the insane burden of guilt it carries so wearily	P 3 E 11 P(11)
F. The Process of Healing P	P 3 F 0 P(12)
their way in endless mazes of complexity. This is the great	P 3 F 1 P(12)
only by an inflated sense of self that holds in darkness	P 3 F 1 P(12)
to reverse his twisted way of looking at the world; his	P 3 F 2 P(12)
the world; his twisted way of looking at himself. The truth	P 3 F 2 P(12)
those who need the lesson of defenselessness above all else, to	P 3 F 2 P(12)
an ideal state. We speak of ideal teaching in a world	P 3 F 3 P(12)
psychotherapist is but a glimmer of a thought not yet conceived	P 3 F 3 P(12)
conceived. But still we speak of what can yet be done	P 3 F 3 P(12)
the insane within the bounds of the attainable. While they are	P 3 F 3 P(12)
more than that is asked of psychotherapy; no less than all	P 3 F 3 P(12)
has to give is worthy of the therapist. For God Himself	P 3 F 3 P(12)
forget that we are helpless of ourselves, and lean upon a	P 3 F 4 P(12)
give God. The sacred calling of Gods holy Son for	P 3 F 5 P(13)
holy interaction is the plan of God Himself, by which His	P 3 F 5 P(13)
the least advance, the tiniest of whispers of His Name. To	P 3 F 6 P(13)
advance, the tiniest of whispers of His Name. To ask for	P 3 F 6 P(13)
7 Somewhere all gifts of God must be received. In	P 3 F 7 P(13)
think there is a need of healing. And the truth will	P 3 F 7 P(13)
seems to share our dream of sickness. Let us help him	P 3 F 7 P(13)
come shining through the veil of guilt that shrouds the Son	P 3 F 7 P(13)
guilt that shrouds the Son of God, we will behold in	P 3 F 7 P(13)
behold in him the Face of Christ, and understand that it	P 3 F 7 P(13)
is healing, for the Son of God returns to Heaven through	P 3 F 8 P(13)
tells him, in the Voice of God, that all his sins	P 3 F 8 P(13)
G. The Definition of Healing P 3 G	P 3 G 0 P(14)
G 1 The process of psychotherapy, then, can be defined	P 3 G 1 P(14)
strong, to hear this song of death an instant, and then	P 3 G 2 P(14)
change our tune. The sound of healing can be heard instead	P 3 G 2 P(14)
willingness to question the truth of the song of condemnation must	P 3 G 2 P(14)
the truth of the song of condemnation must arise. The strange	P 3 G 2 P(14)
seem truly beautiful. The rhythm of the universe, the herald angel	P 3 G 2 P(14)
and more are heard instead of loud discordant shrieks. P	P 3 G 2 P(14)
be. They answer the decisions of the mind, reproducing its desires	P 3 G 3 P(14)
so does unforgiveness. The forms of one but reproduce the forms	P 3 G 5 P(15)
one but reproduce the forms of the other, for they are	P 3 G 5 P(15)
other, that a careful study of the form a sickness takes	P 3 G 5 P(15)
quite clearly to the form of unforgiveness that it represents. Yet	P 3 G 5 P(15)
possibly give rise to sickness of any kind. P 3	P 3 G 5 P(15)
realization is the final goal of psychotherapy. How is it reached	P 3 G 6 P(15)
does this, he must think of evil as besetting him here	P 3 G 6 P(15)
his screen for the projection of his sins, enabling him to	P 3 G 6 P(15)
Let him retain one spot of sin in what he looks	P 3 G 6 P(15)
be seen as the bringers of forgiveness, for it is they	P 3 G 7 P(15)
upon. Yet will the proof of sinlessness, seen in the patient	P 3 G 7 P(15)
the therapist, offer the mind of both a covenant in which	P 3 G 7 P(15)
who else is in need of healing? Each patient who comes	P 3 H 1 P(16)
patient. God does not know of separation. What He knows is	P 3 H 1 P(16)
and who is in need of healing. For therapy is prayer	P 3 H 2 P(16)
is prayer except the joining of minds in a relationship which	P 3 H 2 P(16)
peace. These are the symptoms of the ideal patient-therapist relationship, replacing	P 3 H 2 P(16)
This, however, needs the help of a very advanced therapist, capable	P 3 H 3 P(16)
a very advanced therapist, capable of joining with the patient in	P 3 H 3 P(16)
relationship in which all sense of separation finally is overcome.	P 3 H 3 P(16)
would instantly become a Teacher of God, devoting his life to	P 3 H 4 P(17)
his life to the function of true healing. Before he reached	P 3 H 4 P(17)
thought he was in charge of the therapeutic process and was	P 3 H 4 P(17)
what should be the Holiness of Christ. Guilt is inevitable in	P 3 H 4 P(17)
H 5 The passing of guilt is the true aim	P 3 H 5 P(17)
guilt is the true aim of therapy and the obvious aim	P 3 H 5 P(17)
therapy and the obvious aim of forgiveness. In this their oneness	P 3 H 5 P(17)
who could experience the end of guilt who feels responsible for	P 3 H 5 P(17)
his brother in the role of guide for him? Such a	P 3 H 5 P(17)
here can have; a certainty of past, present and future, and	P 3 H 5 P(17)
past, present and future, and of all the effects that may	P 3 H 5 P(17)
Only from this omniscient point of view would such a role	P 3 H 5 P(17)
nor is the tiny self of one alone against the universe	P 3 H 5 P(17)
Heaven belongs to him because of who he is. And he	P 3 H 6 P(17)
And he is this because of his Creator, Whose Love is	P 3 H 6 P(17)
means; he has the gifts of God Himself to give away	P 3 H 6 P(17)
offer weakness to the Son of God. But what they see	P 3 H 7 P(17)
they see in him because of this they fear indeed. The	P 3 H 7 P(17)
healer cannot but be fearful of his patients, and suspect them	P 3 H 7 P(17)
his patients, and suspect them of the treachery he sees in	P 3 H 7 P(17)
Think what the joining of two brothers really means. And	P 3 H 8 P(18)
little triumphs and its dreams of death. The same are one	P 3 H 8 P(18)
nothing now can be remembered of the world of guilt. The	P 3 H 8 P(18)
be remembered of the world of guilt. The room becomes a	P 3 H 8 P(18)
and the street a stream of stardust brushing lightly past all	P 3 H 8 P(18)
There is no other choice of pathways that can ever lead	P 3 H 9 P(18)
enough to wake your memory of Him? ---	P 3 H 9 P(18)
4. THE PRACTICE OF PSYCHOTHERAPY A. The Selection	P 4 0 0 P(19)
PSYCHOTHERAPY A. The Selection of Patients P	P 4 A 0 P(19)
to you is a patient of yours. This does not mean	P 4 A 1 P(19)
that you choose the kind of treatment that is suitable. But	P 4 A 1 P(19)
on constantly to make sacrifices of yourself for those who come	P 4 A 1 P(19)
be true. To demand sacrifice of yourself is to demand a	P 4 A 1 P(19)
is to demand a sacrifice of God, and He knows nothing	P 4 A 1 P(19)
God, and He knows nothing of sacrifice. Who could ask of	P 4 A 1 P(19)
of sacrifice. Who could ask of Perfection that He be imperfect	P 4 A 1 P(19)
god, or hear the Voice of Him Who is God in	P 4 A 2 P(19)
serve them in the Name of God. This may be hard	P 4 A 3 P(19)
be most helpful to both of you. It does not matter	P 4 A 3 P(19)
or perhaps just a feeling of reaching out to someone somewhere	P 4 A 3 P(19)
joining is in the hands of the Holy Spirit. It cannot	P 4 A 3 P(19)
holy therapist, an advanced Teacher of God, never forgets one thing	P 4 A 4 P(20)
did not make the curriculum of salvation, nor did he establish	P 4 A 4 P(20)
the door on the savior of the world to let in	P 4 A 4 P(20)
him not betray the Son of God. Who calls on him	P 4 A 4 P(20)
devote themselves primarily to healing of one sort or another as	P 4 B 1 P(21)
them that a large number of others turn for help. That	P 4 B 1 P(21)
in effect, is the practice of therapy. These are therefore officially	P 4 B 1 P(21)
are devoted to certain kinds of needs in their professional activities	P 4 B 1 P(21)
far more able teachers outside of them. These people need no	P 4 B 1 P(21)
people need no special rules, of course, but they may be	P 4 B 1 P(21)
upon to use special applications of the general principles of healing	P 4 B 1 P(21)
applications of the general principles of healing. P 4 B	P 4 B 1 P(21)
that there is no order of difficulty in healing. For this	P 4 B 2 P(21)
nothing about the real principles of healing. In fact, it probably	P 4 B 2 P(21)
to make healing impossible. Most of the worlds training programs	P 4 B 2 P(21)
in judgment, with the aim of making the therapist a judge	P 4 B 2 P(21)
each other implies a sense of lack. A one-to-one relationship is	P 4 B 4 P(22)
Yet it is the means of return; the way God chose	P 4 B 4 P(22)
God chose for the return of His Son. In that strange	P 4 B 4 P(22)
must come from every meeting of patient and therapist. And that	P 4 B 5 P(22)
their Creator as a sign of His Love. For the therapeutic	P 4 B 5 P(22)
must become like the relationship of the Father and the Son	P 4 B 5 P(22)
is nothing else. The therapists of this world do not expect	P 4 B 5 P(22)
expect this outcome, and many of their patients would not be	P 4 B 5 P(22)
the goal for the relationships of which he is a part	P 4 B 5 P(22)
the same dream for both of them, and so it is	P 4 B 6 P(22)
it is not the dream of forgiveness in which both will	P 4 B 6 P(22)
appeal and turn to dreams of fear, which is the content	P 4 B 6 P(22)
fear, which is the content of all dreams. Yet no patient	P 4 B 6 P(22)
that there is no order of difficulty in healing. This is	P 4 B 7 P(23)
on earth until the closing of time. They could hardly be	P 4 B 7 P(23)
therapists. They are the Saints of God. They are the Saviors	P 4 B 7 P(23)
God. They are the Saviors of the world. Their image remains	P 4 B 7 P(23)
so. They take the place of other images, and help with	P 4 B 7 P(23)
can also recognize that order of difficulty in healing is meaningless	P 4 B 8 P(23)
A goal marks the end of a journey, not the beginning	P 4 B 8 P(23)
still at the very start of the beginning stage of the	P 4 B 8 P(23)
start of the beginning stage of the first journey. Even those	P 4 B 8 P(23)
setting-out. Yet all the laws of healing can be theirs in	P 4 B 8 P(23)
understand there is no order of difficulty in healing, he must	P 4 B 9 P(23)
must also recognize the equality of himself and the patient. There	P 4 B 9 P(23)
equal or not. The attempts of therapists to compromise in this	P 4 B 9 P(23)
not forget that any form of specialness must be defended, and	P 4 B 10 P(24)
defenseless therapist has the strength of God with him, but the	P 4 B 10 P(24)
defensive therapist has lost sight of the Source of his salvation	P 4 B 10 P(24)
lost sight of the Source of his salvation. He does not	P 4 B 10 P(24)
Because it is the Will of God that he take his	P 4 B 10 P(24)
Because it is the Will of God that his patients be	P 4 B 10 P(24)
the offering and the acceptance of healing. This is the veil	P 4 B 10 P(24)
the veil across the Face of Christ. Yet it can be	P 4 B 10 P(24)
not exist and the Will of God has always been exactly	P 4 B 10 P(24)
C. The Question of Payment P	P 4 C 0 P(25)
for therapy, for healing is of God and He asks for	P 4 C 1 P(25)
nothing. It is, however, part of His plan that everything in	P 4 C 1 P(25)
process. There will be those of whom the Holy Spirit asks	P 4 C 2 P(25)
do this loses the name of healer, for he could never	P 4 C 2 P(25)
C 3 The therapists of this world are indeed useless	P 4 C 3 P(25)
pay only for the exchange of illusions. This, indeed, must demand	P 4 C 3 P(25)
this be how the dream of sin will end? P	P 4 C 3 P(25)
given. This is the law of God, and not of the	P 4 C 5 P(26)
law of God, and not of the world. So it is	P 4 C 5 P(26)
potential temple; the resting place of Christ and home of God	P 4 C 6 P(26)
place of Christ and home of God Himself. Whoever comes has	P 4 C 6 P(26)
be blessed. Only in terms of cost could one have more	P 4 C 6 P(26)
C 7 This view of payment may well seem impractical	P 4 C 7 P(26)
impractical, and in the eyes of the world it would be	P 4 C 7 P(26)
while, long enough to think of this: ---	P 4 C 7 P(26)
to you carrying the gift of healing, if you so elect	P 4 C 8 P(27)
you. Remember the sorrowful story of the world, and the glad	P 4 C 8 P(27)
world, and the glad tidings of salvation. Remember the plan of	P 4 C 8 P(27)
of salvation. Remember the plan of God for the restoration of	P 4 C 8 P(27)
of God for the restoration of joy and peace. And do	P 4 C 8 P(27)
very simple are the ways of God: You were lost in	P 4 C 8 P(27)
were lost in the darkness of the world until you asked	P 4 C 8 P(27)

hear words, some receive feelings of inner conviction, and some do	S 1 A 7 S(3)
some do not become aware of anything. Yet God has answered	S 1 A 7 S(3)
Answer. It needs the humility of trust, not the arrogance of	S 1 A 9 S(3)
of trust, not the arrogance of false certainty. Trust cannot lie	S 1 A 9 S(3)
answer. It means a state of peace. For this you can	S 1 A 9 S(3)
prayer must avoid the pitfall of asking to entreat. Ask, rather	S 1 B 1 S(3)
which are beyond the level of need that you recognize. Therefore	S 1 B 2 S(4)
it is not the form of the question that matters, nor	S 1 B 2 S(4)
it is asked. The form of the answer, if given by	S 1 B 2 S(4)
This is merely an echo of the reply of His Voice	S 1 B 2 S(4)
an echo of the reply of His Voice. The real sound	S 1 B 2 S(4)
sound is always a song of thanksgiving and love. S	S 1 B 2 S(4)
have sought first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all else has	S 1 B 3 S(4)
B 4 The secret of true prayer is to forget	S 1 B 4 S(4)
Answer be but your remembrance of Him? Can this be traded	S 1 B 4 S(4)
be traded for a bit of trifling advice about a problem	S 1 B 4 S(4)
trifling advice about a problem of an instants duration? God	S 1 B 4 S(4)
letting go, a quiet time of listening and loving. It should	S 1 B 5 S(4)
not be confused with supplication of any kind, because it is	S 1 B 5 S(4)
because it is a way of remembering your holiness. Why should	S 1 B 5 S(4)
an offering; a giving up of oneself to be at one	S 1 B 5 S(4)
That nothingness becomes the altar of God. It disappears in Him	S 1 B 5 S(4)
This is not a level of prayer that everyone can attain	S 1 B 6 S(5)
who has realized the goodness of God prays without fear. And	S 1 B 6 S(5)
because it is a gift of thanks to his Father. To	S 1 B 7 S(5)
but it IS a song of thanksgiving for what you are	S 1 B 7 S(5)
are. Herein lies the power of prayer. It asks nothing and	S 1 B 7 S(5)
answered. Perhaps the specific form of solution for a specific problem	S 1 B 7 S(5)
problem will occur to either of you; it does not matter	S 1 B 7 S(5)
truth. C. The Ladder of Prayer S	S 1 C 0 S(5)
end. It is a part of life. But it does change	S 1 C 1 S(5)
prayer is merely wanting, out of a sense of scarcity and	S 1 C 1 S(5)
wanting, out of a sense of scarcity and lack. S	S 1 C 1 S(5)
or asking-out-of-need, always involves feelings of weakness and inadequacy, and could	S 1 C 2 S(5)
be made by a Son of God who knows Who he	S 1 C 2 S(5)
one, then, who is sure of his Identity could pray in	S 1 C 2 S(5)
no one who is uncertain of his Identity could avoid praying	S 1 C 2 S(5)
to reach a higher form of asking-out-of-need, for in this world	S 1 C 3 S(6)
so it must entail levels of learning. Here, the asking may	S 1 C 3 S(6)
vague and usually unstable sense of identification has generally been reached	S 1 C 3 S(6)
blurred by a deep-rooted sense of sin. It is possible at	S 1 C 3 S(6)
continue to ask for things of this world in various forms	S 1 C 3 S(6)
forgiveness for the many sources of guilt that inevitably underlie any	S 1 C 3 S(6)
that inevitably underlie any prayer of need. Without guilt there is	S 1 C 3 S(6)
limited prayer to the laws of this world, and limited your	S 1 C 4 S(6)
have enemies you have need of prayer, and great need, too	S 1 C 4 S(6)
and thereby lose the recognition of your own Identity. Be traitor	S 1 C 4 S(6)
Rather it is a statement of the unity of Christ and	S 1 C 5 S(6)
a statement of the unity of Christ and a recognition of	S 1 C 5 S(6)
of Christ and a recognition of His sinlessness. And now it	S 1 C 5 S(6)
for it acknowledges the Son of God as he was created	S 1 C 5 S(6)
prayer, you make him part of you. The enemy is you	S 1 C 6 S(6)
own, for prayer is part of you. The things of earth	S 1 C 7 S(7)
part of you. The things of earth are left behind, all	S 1 C 7 S(7)
8 Now, without needs of any kind, and clad forever	S 1 C 8 S(7)
sinlessness which is the gift of God to you, His Son	S 1 C 8 S(7)
it rises as a song of thanks to your Creator, sung	S 1 C 8 S(7)
or vain desires, unneedful now of anything at all. So it	S 1 C 8 S(7)
God is the goal of every prayer, giving it timelessness	S 1 C 9 S(7)
prayer, giving it timelessness instead of end. Nor has it a	S 1 C 9 S(7)
left. Yet prayer is part of forgiveness as long as forgiveness	S 1 C 9 S(7)
with learning until the goal of learning has been reached. And	S 1 C 9 S(7)
returned unblemished into the Mind of God. S 1 C	S 1 C 9 S(7)
be restored to the Son of God, who lives now with	S 1 C 10 S(7)
lives now with the illusion of death and the fear of	S 1 C 10 S(7)
of death and the fear of God. D. Praying for	S 1 C 10 S(7)
means for lifting your projections of guilt from your brother, and	S 1 D 1 S(7)
this the means is prayer, of rising power and with ascending	S 1 D 1 S(7)
2 The earlier forms of prayer, at the bottom of	S 1 D 2 S(8)
of prayer, at the bottom of the ladder, will not be	S 1 D 2 S(8)
calls for death, made out of fear by those who cherish	S 1 D 2 S(8)
have. Thus have I made of him my enemy. S	S 1 D 3 S(8)
seem to be dangerous instead of merciful. To the guilty there	S 1 D 4 S(8)
some pain, and a glimpse of the merciful nature of this	S 1 D 4 S(8)
glimpse of the merciful nature of this step may for some	S 1 D 4 S(8)
what advantage has an illusion of escape ever brought a prisoner	S 1 D 6 S(8)
it as his own? Fear of escape makes it difficult to	S 1 D 6 S(8)
and to make a jailer of an enemy seems to be	S 1 D 6 S(8)
for yourself? You have made of him your salvation and your	S 1 D 6 S(8)
is heavy, and your fear of letting go is strong.	S 1 D 6 S(9)
him. He is a Son of God, along with you. He	S 1 D 6 S(9)
no jailer, but a messenger of Christ. Be this to him	S 1 D 6 S(9)
for status, for external gifts of any kind, are always made	S 1 D 7 S(9)
and therefore distort the purpose of prayer. The desire for them	S 1 D 7 S(9)
not ask explicitly. The goal of God is lost in the	S 1 D 7 S(9)
the quest for lesser goals of any kind, and prayer becomes	S 1 D 7 S(9)
requests for enemies. The power of prayer can be quite clearly	S 1 D 7 S(9)
that is given him. Think of the cost, and understand it	S 1 D 7 S(9)
goals are at the cost of God. E. Praying with	S 1 D 7 S(9)
this simple thought; this change of mind: We go together, you	S 1 E 1 S(9)
set up but an illusion of a goal they share. They	S 1 E 2 S(10)
else, what is the Will of God. From this Cause only	S 1 E 2 S(10)
from the past. The aim of prayer is to release the	S 1 E 3 S(10)
the present from its chains of past illusions; to let it	S 1 E 3 S(10)
to free yourself from all of them at once? Do not	S 1 E 4 S(10)
Prayer can bring the peace of God. What time-bound thing can	S 1 E 4 S(10)
knowing creation is the Will of God. Its selflessness is Self	S 1 F 2 S(11)
gladly joins with every Son of God, whose purity it recognizes	S 1 F 2 S(11)
is lifted from the world of things, of bodies, and of	S 1 F 2 S(11)
from the world of things, of bodies, and of gods of	S 1 F 2 S(11)
of things, of bodies, and of gods of every kind, and	S 1 F 2 S(11)
of bodies, and of gods of every kind, and you can	S 1 F 2 S(11)
Son, and recognize the arrogance of sin. A dream has veiled	S 1 F 2 S(11)
dream has veiled the face of Christ from you. Now can	S 1 F 2 S(11)
for you are a part of me. And so he is	S 1 F 3 S(11)
you stand before the gate of Heaven, and your brother stands	S 1 F 4 S(11)
this. Unlike the timeless nature of its sister prayer, forgiveness has	S 2 A 1 S(12)
the world. B. Forgiveness of Yourself S	S 2 B 0 S(12)
B 1 No gift of Heaven has been more misunderstood	S 2 B 1 S(12)
to bless, a cruel mockery of grace, a parody upon the	S 2 B 1 S(12)
parody upon the holy peace of God. Yet those who have	S 2 B 1 S(12)
elected to begin the steps of prayer cannot but use it	S 2 B 1 S(12)
will therefore suit the purpose of the world far better than	S 2 B 2 S(12)
a plague; a hateful thing of danger and of death. Forgiveness-to-destroy	S 2 B 2 S(12)
hateful thing of danger and of death. Forgiveness-to-destroy IS death, and	S 2 B 2 S(12)
in its place the face of Christ. How otherwise can prayer	S 2 B 3 S(13)
you. That is why forgiveness of another is an illusion. Yet	S 2 B 4 S(13)
you have called him guilty of your sins, and in him	S 2 B 4 S(13)
This is the great deception of the world, and you the	S 2 B 5 S(13)
and you the great deceiver of yourself. It always seems to	S 2 B 5 S(13)
evil, he can only give of what he is. You cannot	S 2 B 5 S(13)
way in which your hope of freedom lies. Others will make	S 2 B 6 S(13)
as long as this illusion of a world appears to be	S 2 B 6 S(13)
to hide the face of Christ, which still remains unchanged	S 2 B 6 S(14)
peace. He does not know of shadows. His the eyes that	S 2 B 6 S(14)
be. You are in need of what He gives, and your	S 2 B 7 S(14)
salvation rests on learning this of Him. Prayer cannot be released	S 2 B 7 S(14)
he could see the face of Christ instead? This is the	S 2 B 8 S(14)
death by offering the love of Christ to him. This is	S 2 B 8 S(14)
limits into timelessness, with nothing of the past to hold it	S 2 B 8 S(14)
There can be no trace of it remaining, if the plan	S 2 B 9 S(15)
This is the world of opposites. And you must choose	S 2 B 10 S(15)
set you free. The level of your prayers depends on this	S 2 B 10 S(15)
to ascend above the world of chaos into peace.. C	S 2 B 10 S(15)
many forms, being a weapon of the world of form. Not	S 2 C 1 S(15)
a weapon of the world of form. Not all of them	S 2 C 1 S(15)
world of form. Not all of them are obvious, and some	S 2 C 1 S(15)
rests solely on the base of gracious lordliness so far from	S 2 C 2 S(15)
perceive him as the Son of God? Who makes a slave	S 2 C 2 S(15)
unworthy and deserve the retribution of the wrath of God. This	S 2 C 3 S(16)
the retribution of the wrath of God. This can appear to	S 2 C 3 S(16)
those who seek the role of martyr at anothers hand	S 2 C 4 S(16)
meekness and as charity instead of cruelty. Is it not kind	S 2 C 4 S(16)
not kind to be accepting of anothers spite, and not	S 2 C 4 S(16)
this. It shows the face of suffering and pain, in silent	S 2 C 5 S(16)
and pain, in silent proof of guilt and of the ravages	S 2 C 5 S(16)
silent proof of guilt and of the ravages of sin. Such	S 2 C 5 S(16)
guilt and of the ravages of sin. Such is the witness	S 2 C 5 S(16)
needs salvation from the pain of guilt? What is it for	S 2 C 5 S(16)
except to keep the witnesses of guilt away from love?	S 2 C 5 S(16)
can also take the form of bargaining and compromise. I will	S 2 C 6 S(16)
will seek to rid yourself of guilt in further bargains which	S 2 C 6 S(16)
a bargain with the Son of God, and thank his Father	S 2 C 6 S(16)
pitiful it is to make of it a means for further	S 2 C 7 S(17)
and pain. Within the world of opposites there is a way	S 2 C 7 S(17)
use forgiveness for the goal of God, and find the peace	S 2 C 7 S(17)
from anger, condemnation and comparisons of every kind are death. For	S 2 C 8 S(17)
not want to be afraid of God. You want to see	S 2 C 8 S(17)
the sunlight and the glow of Heaven shining on the face	S 2 C 8 S(17)
Heaven shining on the face of earth, redeemed from sin and	S 2 C 8 S(17)
sin and in the Love of God. From here is prayer	S 2 C 8 S(17)
does not ask for proof of innocence, nor pay of any	S 2 D 1 S(17)
proof of innocence, nor pay of any kind. It does not	S 2 D 1 S(17)
seeks to understand the Will of God. His readiness to give	S 2 D 1 S(17)
D 2 You child of God, the gifts of God	S 2 D 2 S(17)
child of God, the gifts of God are yours, not by	S 2 D 2 S(17)
up to where the sight of Christ becomes the eyes you	S 2 D 2 S(17)
knows the way to make of every call a help to	S 2 D 3 S(18)
Own. Let Him take charge of how you would forgive, and	S 2 D 3 S(18)
Are you not weary of imprisonment? God did not choose	S 2 D 4 S(18)
means to you to learn of Him, and know at last	S 2 D 4 S(18)
Gods Son. The light of Christ in him is his	S 2 D 5 S(18)
About salvation and the gift of peace. About the end of	S 2 D 6 S(18)
of peace. About the end of sin and guilt and death	S 2 D 6 S(18)
become again the holy gift of love. Prayer is His Own	S 2 D 6 S(19)
to Him to use instead of you, and you will see	S 2 D 7 S(19)
open upon the shining face of Christ. Behold your brother there	S 2 D 7 S(19)
beyond the door; the Son of God as He created him	S 2 D 7 S(19)
more sure, easing the pain of fear and offering the comfort	S 3 A 1 S(20)
the comfort and the promises of hope. Forgivenesss witness and	S 3 A 1 S(20)
aid to prayer, a giver of assurance of success in ultimate	S 3 A 1 S(20)
prayer, a giver of assurance of success in ultimate attainment of	S 3 A 1 S(20)
of success in ultimate attainment of the goal, is healing. Its	S 3 A 1 S(20)
is a sign or symbol of forgivenesss strength, and only	S 3 A 1 S(20)
only an effect or shadow of a change of mind about	S 3 A 1 S(20)
or shadow of a change of mind about the goal of	S 3 A 1 S(20)
of mind about the goal of prayer. B. The Cause	S 3 A 1 S(20)
prayer. B. The Cause of Sickness S	S 3 B 0 S(20)
is a sign, a shadow of an evil thought that seems	S 3 B 1 S(20)
just, according to the usage of the world. It is external	S 3 B 1 S(20)
world. It is external proof of inner sin, and witnesses to	S 3 B 1 S(20)
and would hurt the Son of God. Healing the body is	S 3 B 1 S(20)
shown by the brief nature of the cure. The body yet	S 3 B 1 S(20)
bodys source is unforgiveness of the Son of God. It	S 3 B 2 S(20)
is unforgiveness of the Son of God. It has not left	S 3 B 2 S(20)
and aging and the mark of death upon it this is	S 3 B 2 S(20)
they sense the heavy scent of death upon their hearts.	S 3 B 2 S(20)
be healed as an effect of true forgiveness. Only that can	S 3 B 3 S(20)
Only that can give remembrance of immortality, which is the gift	S 3 B 3 S(20)
immortality, which is the gift of holiness and love. Forgiveness must	S 3 B 3 S(20)
shadows on the holy face of Christ, among which sickness should	S 3 B 3 S(20)
Nothing but that; the sign of judgment made by brother upon	S 3 B 3 S(20)
upon brother, and the Son of God upon himself. For he	S 3 B 3 S(20)
holy sinlessness and the remembrance of his Fathers Love. Yet	S 3 B 4 S(21)
its faulty counterpart. The world of opposites is healings place	S 3 C 1 S(21)
a witness to the power of the world or to the	S 3 C 1 S(21)
or to the everlasting Love of God. S 3 C	S 3 C 1 S(21)
merely makes a poor exchange of one illusion for a nicer	S 3 C 2 S(21)
a nicer one; a dream of sickness for a dream of	S 3 C 2 S(21)
of sickness for a dream of health. This can occur at	S 3 C 2 S(21)
can occur at lower forms of prayer, combining with forgiveness kindly	S 3 C 2 S(21)
can indeed remove a form of pain and sickness. But the	S 3 C 2 S(21)
Yet there is a kind of seeming death that has a	S 3 C 2 S(21)
It does not come because of hurtful thoughts and raging anger	S 3 C 2 S(21)
end has come for usefulness of body functioning. And so it	S 3 C 2 S(21)
joyfully and with a sense of peace, because the body has	S 3 C 3 S(21)
used to help the Son of God along the way he	S 3 C 3 S(21)
done to walk the world of limits, and to reach the	S 3 C 3 S(21)
us; His Voice, the Word of God, more certainly our own	S 3 C 4 S(22)
higher prayer, a kind forgiveness of the ways of earth, can	S 3 C 5 S(22)
kind forgiveness of the ways of earth, can only be received	S 3 C 5 S(22)
eyes and takes the form of punishment for sin. How could	S 3 C S(22)
occurred in such a view of what is merely opening the	S 3 C S(22)
s cure, leaving the cause of illness still unchanged, ready to	S 3 C 7 S(22)
its vengeance on the Son of God. Yet it cannot be	S 3 C 7 S(22)
which there is no veil of sin to keep it dark	S 3 C 7 S(23)
comfortless. At last the gate of Heaven opens and Gods	S 3 C 7 S(23)
has not removed the curse of sin that lies on it	S 3 D 1 S(23)
shown. And here the meaning of true healing has been lost	S 3 D 1 S(23)
unity that is the Son of God. ---	S 3 D 1 S(23)
Yet it can be said of any form of healing that	S 3 D 2 S(24)
be said of any form of healing that is based on	S 3 D 2 S(24)
that is based on inequality of any kind. These forms may	S 3 D 2 S(24)
in his patronage. The healing of the body can be done	S 3 D 2 S(24)
what the dream is made of. To be healed appears to	S 3 D 2 S(24)
seems to be the aim of healing as the world conceives	S 3 D 3 S(24)
healing as the world conceives of it. And to this wiser	S 3 D 3 S(24)
that suffers from the agony of doubt. S 3 D	S 3 D 3 S(24)
not make yourself the bearer of the special gift that brings	S 3 D 4 S(24)
apart from where the source of sickness is, for never thus	S 3 D 4 S(24)
are, for they are Sons of God who recognize their Source	S 3 D 5 S(24)
and forever. Now the cause of every malady has been revealed	S 3 D 5 S(24)
written now the holy Word of --- Manuscript	S 3 D 5 S(24)

healing and their love. Bringers of peace - the Holy Spirit	S 3 E 1 S(25)
given up all separate dreams of special attributes through which they	S 3 E 1 S(25)
forgive, and join the song of prayer in which the healed	S 3 E 1 S(25)
in which the healed sing of their union and their thanks	S 3 E 1 S(25)
to prayer, and the effect of mercy truly taught, healing is	S 3 E 2 S(25)
quickened chorus through the voice of prayer. Forgiveness shines its merciful	S 3 E 2 S(25)
merciful reprieve upon each blade of grass and feathered wing and	S 3 E 2 S(25)
to let the last embrace of prayer rest on the earth	S 3 E 2 S(25)
This instant is the goal of all true healers, whom the	S 3 E 2 S(25)
for He knows the Cause of healing is Himself, His Love	S 3 E 3 S(26)
accept an idol for remembrance of Him Whose Love has never	S 3 E 3 S(26)
Him as is the whole of His creation, for it is	S 3 E 3 S(26)
Do not forget the gratitude of God. Do not forget the	S 3 E 3 S(26)
not forget the holy grace of prayer. Do not forget forgiveness	S 3 E 3 S(26)
prayer. Do not forget forgiveness of Gods Son. S	S 3 E 3 S(26)
desire to attack the Son of God. S 3 E	S 3 E 4 S(26)
Love is now the source of fear, and only fear can	S 3 E 5 S(26)
grievous loss become the lot of everyone on earth, which He	S 3 E 5 S(26)
surrounds you in the arms of peace. Dream now of healing	S 3 E 6 S(26)
arms of peace. Dream now of healing. Then arise and lay	S 3 E 6 S(26)
prayer beyond the sorry reaches of the world. S 3	S 3 E 6 S(27)
Son to Me from dreams of malice to the sweet embrace	S 3 E 7 S(27)
malice to the sweet embrace of everlasting Love and perfect peace	S 3 E 7 S(27)
all creation, in the holiness of God. Be still an instant	S 3 E 7 S(27)
an instant. Underneath the sounds of harsh and bitter striving and	S 3 E 7 S(27)
Voice that speaks to you of Me. Hear this an instant	S 3 E 7 S(27)
My children from the dream of retribution and a little life	S 3 E 8 S(27)
Let Me instead remind you of eternity, in which your joy	S 3 E 8 S(27)
because your song is part of the eternal harmony of love	S 3 E 8 S(27)
part of the eternal harmony of love. Without you is creation	S 3 E 8 S(27)
refuse to hear the call of Love. Do not deny to	S 3 E 9 S(27)
Creation leans across the bars of time to lift the heavy	S 3 E 9 S(27)
softly from the bleeding brow of him who is the holy	S 3 E 9 S(27)
who is the holy Son of God. How lovely are you	S 3 E 9 S(27)
How lovely are you, Child of Holiness! How like to Me	S 3 E 9 S(27)
will come the gift first of forgiveness, then eternal peace.	S 3 E 9 S(27)

Fear is the emotion of the world. It has but	G 1 A 1 G(1)

rests uncertainly upon a bed of lies. Here it was born	G 1 A 1 G(1)

gift that is not made of fear, concealed perhaps, but which	G 1 A 2 G(1)
your own without the gift of fear arising in your heart	G 1 A 3 G(1)

can there be a shifting of the mind between the two	G 1 A 4 G(2)
to see yourself as maker of reality and truth, the lord	G 1 A 4 G(2)
reality and truth, the lord of destiny and times domain	G 1 A 4 G(2)
with it a heavy cost of pain. Be free of suffering	G 1 A 5 G(2)
cost of pain. Be free of suffering now. There is no	G 1 A 5 G(2)
There are no scraps of dreams. Each one contains the	G 1 A 6 G(2)

to forget the dreadful cost of salvaging despair and building up	G 1 A 6 G(2)

Darkness cannot conceal the gifts of God unless you want it	G 1 A 7 G(3)
will you disappear from things of time. But you will hold	G 1 A 7 G(3)

to sweep away all vestiges of dreams and every thought that	G 1 A 7 G(3)
