SACRIFICE...................224
C. Atonement without Sacrifice T 3 T 3 C 0 (48)
T 3 C 11 Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown T 3 C 11 (50)
realizes that the Atonement, NOT sacrifice, is the ONLY appropriate gift T 3 C 14 (51)
When you associate giving with sacrifice, then, you give only because T 4 C 7 (77)
be. God weeps at the sacrifice of His Children who believe T 5 I 11 (127)
are NEVER called on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling T 6 B 11 (131)
blessing is the opposite of sacrifice. Being MUST be extended. That T 7 J 2 (180)
of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit and T 7 K 1 (183)
Holy Spirit NEVER asks for sacrifice, but the ego ALWAYS does T 7 K 3 (184)
never call upon you to sacrifice ANYTHING. But if you ask T 8 J 5 (215)
But if you ask the sacrifice of reality OF YOURSELF, the T 8 J 5 (215)
of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of T 10 G 5 (272)
not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the T 10 G 5 (272)
not before the altars to sacrifice, and seek not what you T 12 G 14 (334)
9 Is it a sacrifice to leave littleness behind, and T 15 D 9 (395)
in vain? It is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But T 15 D 9 (395)
glory. But it IS a sacrifice to accept anything LESS than T 15 D 9 (395)
itself, it becomes BIGGER. The sacrifice, which it regards as purificationT 15 H 6 (408)
he is in love with SACRIFICE. And for this sacrifice, which T 15 H 7 (408)
with SACRIFICE. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of HIMSELF T 15 H 7 (408)
OTHER accept the guilt, and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomesT 15 H 7 (408)
is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the T 15 H 8 (409)
H 9 Suffering and sacrifice are the gifts with which T 15 H 9 (409)
its altar ACCEPT suffering and sacrifice as the price of union T 15 H 9 (409)
yet never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined T 15 H 9 (409)
am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and every T 15 J 2 (417)
as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself you T 15 J 2 (417)
of me. Learn NOW that sacrifice of any kind is nothing T 15 J 2 (417)
cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets NOTHING. Sacrifice is so T 15 J 5 (418)
fact that sacrifice gets NOTHING. Sacrifice is so essential to your T 15 J 5 (418)
system that salvation APART from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your T 15 J 5 (418)
to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love is so profound T 15 J 5 (418)
cannot conceive of love WITHOUT sacrifice. And it is this that T 15 J 5 (418)
that you must look upon; sacrifice is ATTACK, not love. If T 15 J 5 (418)
last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if T 15 J 5 (418)
removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you are convinced, someone T 15 J 5 (418)
them all; that love demands sacrifice, and is therefore inseparable from T 15 J 7 (418)
great a sacrifice do you believe His Love T 15 J 7 (419)
total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego seems T 15 J 7 (419)
everyone OUTSIDE yourself demands your sacrifice, but you do not see T 15 J 8 (419)
see that ONLY you demand sacrifice, and ONLY of yourself. Yet T 15 J 8 (419)
yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so savage and so T 15 J 8 (419)
if God would demand total sacrifice of you, you thought it T 15 J 8 (419)
you, and DOES demand total sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice T 15 J 8 (419)
sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice will appease this savage guest T 15 J 8 (419)
but always to make the sacrifice complete. T 15 J T 15 J 8 (419)
the answer; the demand for sacrifice and the peace of God T 15 J 9 (419)
K. The End of Sacrifice T 15 T 15 K 0 (420)
recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as SOLELY of your making T 15 K 1 (420)
He comes demanding NOTHING. No sacrifice of any kind, of anyone T 15 K 2 (420)
Presence, the whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He T 15 K 2 (420)
with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in T 15 K 3 (420)
pain there can BE no sacrifice. And without sacrifice there love T 15 K 3 (420)
BE no sacrifice. And without sacrifice there love MUST be. T 15 K 3 (420)
You who believe that sacrifice IS love must learn that T 15 K 4 (420)
IS love must learn that sacrifice

T 15 K 4 (420)
is SEPARATION from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as T 15 K 4 (421)
Guilt is the CONDITION of sacrifice, as peace is the condition T 15 K 4 (421)
yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing others. For T 15 K 5 (421)
aside WITHOUT a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can T 15 K 5 (421)
loss? And who can suffer sacrifice and loss without attempting to T 15 K 5 (421)
deprivation, attack becomes salvation and sacrifice becomes love. T 15T 15 K 5 (421)
for love, you seek for sacrifice and FIND it. Yet you T 15 K 6 (421)
you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice T 15 K 7 (422)
sacrifice the body is to sacrifice NOTHING, and communication, which MUST T 15 K 7 (422)
BE sacrificed. Where, then, IS sacrifice? T 15 K 8 T 15 K 7 (422)
all my brothers, is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is T 15 K 8 (422)
celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will T 15 K 8 (422)
extension. Each partner tries to sacrifice the self he does not T 16 F 7 (440)
theme in its litany to sacrifice is that God must die T 16 F 10 (441)
love, set with dreams of sacrifice and self-aggrandizement, and interlaced withT 17 E 8 (464)
a home to peace. This sacrifice you feel to be too T 19 G 2 (531)
3 Is it a sacrifice, or a release? What has T 19 G 3 (531)
can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be REMOVED from what T 19 G 4 (531)
Spirit does not demand you sacrifice the hope of the body T 19 G 4 (531)
pain. Pain is the only sacrifice the Holy Spirit asks, and T 19 G 4 (531)
Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and sacrifice cannot be asked of you T 19 G 6 (532)
Spirit the whole IDEA of sacrifice. And to accept the peace T 19 H 1 (534)
a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to sin T 19 J 2 (538)
the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they T 21 D 9 (585)
the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings NOTHING. He makes no T 21 D 9 (585)
10 Your faith in sacrifice has given it great power T 21 D 10 (585)
see BECAUSE of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a T 21 D 10 (585)
value sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means for limitation T 21 D 10 (585)
be seen. Neither demands the sacrifice of the other. Yet on T 21 D 11 (586)
was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the T 21 D 12 (586)
no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing, and T 24 C 6 (649)
healing of your sense of sacrifice, and fear that what you T 24 G 1 (661)
you find more difficult. The sacrifice of self you understand, nor T 24 G 12 (664)
as God established it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called T 24 G 12 (664)
5 It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for T 25 F 5 (682)
it takes. Justice demands NO sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made T 25 I 4 (691)
demands NO sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made that sin may T 25 I 4 (691)
true, because He asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which T 25 J 3 (696)
the dynamics of attack is sacrifice a key idea. It is T 26 A 1 (700)
The body is itself a sacrifice; a giving up of power T 26 A 1 (700)
little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the T 26 A 1 (700)
CANNOT join. B. The Sacrifice of Oneness T 26 B 0 (700)
you see is based on sacrifice of oneness. It is a T 26 B 1 (700)
the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part, to keep T 26 B 1 (700)
BECOMES the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest. And T 26 B 2 (700)
s loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies T 26 B 2 (700)
bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited, and something still T 26 B 2 (700)
and CAN be made to sacrifice. And while

T 26 B 3 (700)
his cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him AND you. What T 26 B 3 (701)
him AND you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that T 26 B 3 (701)
without His Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be separate T 26 B 3 (701)
MUST be denied if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What T 26 B 3 (701)
oneness, but can NOT make sacrifice of its reality. Nor can T 26 B 5 (701)
you LOSE what you would sacrifice, nor keep the Holy Spirit T 26 B 5 (701)
Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your belief in sin T 26 B 5 (701)
your belief in sin. You sacrifice YOUR innocence with his, and T 26 B 5 (701)
You who would make a sacrifice of life, and make your T 26 B 6 (702)
beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For T 26 B 7 (702)
His gifts can never suffer sacrifice and loss. Gods justice T 26 B 7 (702)
make his sins reality, and sacrifice his Fathers Will for T 26 B 7 (702)
suffer loss, and make a sacrifice that you might gain. And T 26 C 2 (703)
wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again your T 26 C 6 (704)
And you will ask no sacrifice of him, because you could T 26 C 6 (704)
transformed into a universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its T 26 C 7 (705)
shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss. T 26 T 26 C 7 (705)
IS no conflict here. No sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment T 26 D 7 (707)
in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death, has come to T 26 G 1 (714)
far too little. He would sacrifice his own identity with everything T 26 H 12 (717)
the world of sin and sacrifice arise. This world is an T 26 H 13 (718)
that he must make some sacrifice, and thus denies that everything T 26 H 15 (718)
of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in T 26 H 15 (718)
is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form T 26 H 15 (718)
be one in which you sacrifice and suffer loss. You see T 26 I 2 (721)
of pain. This is a sacrifice of NOW, which could not T 26 I 7 (723)
Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of T 26 K 3 (727)
T(728) sacrifice his Fathers Love and T 26 K 3 (728)
that you see. You cannot sacrifice yourself alone. For sacrifice is T 27 A 1 (729)
cannot sacrifice yourself alone. For sacrifice is total. If it could T 27 A 1 (729)
and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son. T 27 A 1 (729)
In your RELEASE from sacrifice is his made manifest, and T 27 A 2 (729)
to whom their brothers sacrifice and pain are seen to T 27 C 9 (735)
shift of balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit T 27 C 9 (735)
An honest answer asks no sacrifice because it answers questions truly T 27 E 7 (742)
but ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice T 27 E 7 (742)
sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice is meaningful at all. And T 27 E 7 (742)
causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has T 28 B 12 (765)
giving up would be a SACRIFICE. But miracles are the result T 28 E 10 (775)
which protect you from the sacrifice of love. The body SAVES T 29 B 1 (785)
it gets away from total sacrifice, and gives you time in T 29 B 1 (785)
not love that asks a sacrifice. But fear DEMANDS the sacrifice T 29 B 4 (785)
sacrifice. But fear DEMANDS the sacrifice of love, for in love T 29 B 4 (785)
a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to find T 29 C 1 (787)
IS you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For He is T 29 C 8 (789)
Him no longer. He must sacrifice your self, and in His T 29 C 8 (789)
your self, and in His sacrifice are you made more, and T 29 C 8 (789)
and loss. This is the sacrifice salvation asks, and gladly offers T 29 G 1 (797)
and lack IS death. To sacrifice is

T 29 H 4 (799)
and ONLY life exists. The sacrifice of death is NOTHING lost T 29 H 9 (801)
the world! But not to sacrifice. You never WANTED it. What T 30 F 9 (825)
you would be asked to sacrifice your rights when you return T 30 G 2 (827)
end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different T 30 H 5 (832)
could be no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And T 30 H 5 (832)
you both can understand, the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All T 30 H 6 (832)
of meaning is undone. All sacrifice entails the loss of your T 30 H 6 (832)
Here are the thoughts of sacrifice preserved, for here guilt rules T 31 C 5 (845)
has said there IS no sacrifice that can be asked; there T 31 C 7 (845)
be asked; there IS no sacrifice that can be made. T 31 C 7 (845)
believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you W 27 L 2 (46)
It signifies the end of sacrifice, because it offers everyone his W 37 L 1 (60)
in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the W 37 L 2 (60)
wrong in your belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive W 100 L 7 (201)
plan, and never lose or sacrifice or die. Now let us W 100 L 7 (201)
something which entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath, a gift W 134 L 1 (281)
that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in W 135 L 25 (290)
you have been made to sacrifice who feel its iron grip W 153 L 4 (324)
as if it asked the sacrifice of something that is real W 155 L 4 (333)
loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly W 155 L 5 (333)
one in the end. For sacrifice and deprivation are paths which W 155 L 7 (334)
laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to W 187 L 6 (411)
recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as W 187 L 6 (411)
and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one idea that W 187 L 6 (411)
it is. The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the W 187 L 7 (411)
suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad W 187 L 7 (411)
Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for W 187 L 8 (411)
There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value W 187 L 8 (411)
as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure W 187 L 8 (411)
the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and only pain W 192 L 6 (426)
1. I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as W 322 L 1 (574)
Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so W 322 L 2 (574)
inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You W 322 L 2 (574)
323. I gladly make the sacrifice of fear. W 323 L 0 (575)
Here is the only sacrifice You ask of Your beloved W 323 L 1 (575)
eternal joy. Such is the sacrifice You ask of me, and W 323 L 1 (575)
not asked to make a sacrifice To find the mercy and W 343 L 0 (597)
to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as W 343 L 1 (597)
Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete W 343 L 1 (597)
for fear of loss and sacrifice.

God feels called upon to sacrifice his own best interests on M 5 B 5 M(10)
the difference. The idea of sacrifice, so central to his own M 5 B 7 M(11)
attempts it. This is no sacrifice. On the contrary, he puts M 11 A 2 M(29)
IS THE REAL MEANING OF SACRIFICE? M M 7 0 0 M(34)
Although in truth the term sacrifice is altogether meaningless, it does M 7 A 1 M(34)
is that it is a sacrifice to give up the things M 7 A 1 M(34)
to give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? It cannot M 7 A 2 M(34)
of it. There is no sacrifice in the worlds terms M 7 A 2 M(34)
about what the world calls sacrifice. Power, fame, money, physical pleasureM 7 A 2 M(34)
are nothing. But what a sacrifice,- and it is sacrifice M 7 A 3 M(35)
sacrifice,- and it is sacrifice indeed - all this entails M 7 A 3 M(35)
the world. Is it a sacrifice to give up pain? Does M 7 A 4 M(35)
is free of all the sacrifice which its values would demand M 7 A 4 M(35)
to possess them must he sacrifice his hope of Heaven and M 7 A 4 M(35)
is the real meaning of sacrifice? It is the cost of M 7 A 5 M(35)
It is the idea of sacrifice that makes him blind. He M 7 A 5 M(35)
may believe this course requires sacrifice of all you really hold M 7 A 6 M(36)
not be mistaken about what sacrifice means. It always means the M 7 A 6 M(36)
have answered. Would you now sacrifice that Call? Few have heard M 7 A 6 M(36)
Gods. If you would sacrifice the truth, they stay in M 7 A 6 M(36)
Do not forget that sacrifice is total. There are no M 7 A 7 M(36)
seems to happen at the sacrifice of truth. M 14 M 7 A 7 M(36)
not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember what each decision M 7 A 8 M(36)
bad, neither rewarding nor demanding sacrifice, healing nor destructive, quieting norM 17 A 9 M(43)
it is meaningless. Rooted in sacrifice and separation, two aspects of M 17 A 10 M(43)
never had. And for this sacrifice is Heaven restored to his M 17 A 10 M(43)
is sometimes even willing to sacrifice his life on its behalf P 2 A 3 P(2)
hardly be true. To demand sacrifice of yourself is to demand P 4 A 1 P(19)
yourself is to demand a sacrifice of God, and He knows P 4 A 1 P(19)
and He knows nothing of sacrifice. Who could ask of Perfection P 4 A 1 P(19)
do not decide, do not sacrifice. Listen. What you hear is P 4 A 2 P(19)
