Perception is temporary. It is an attribute of the space-time belief	T 3 E 3 T(147)146

or stasis. This is usually an attempt to counteract an underlying	T 3 E 6 T(148)147
usually an attempt to counteract an underlying fear that the future	T 3 E 6 T(148)147

as he IS. This is an example of the createdcreator	T 3 F 5 T(153)152
This is why perception involves an exchange, or a translation, which	T 3 F 17 T(156)155

It can be PERCEIVED as an attacker, but it CANNOT attack	T 3 F 18 T(156)155
sane choosing. The Atonement was an act based on true perception	T 3 F 22 T(157)156

can truthfully be described as an expression of viciousness. We said	T 3 G 27 T(166)165

settled for nearsightedness. This was an attempt to see the concrete	T 4 C 6 T(199)C 26
he IS. Again, belief is an ego-function, and as long as	T 4 C 8 T(200)C 27
you ARE regarding it from an ego viewpoint. That is why	T 4 C 8 T(200)C 27
Undermining the foundation of an egos thought-system MUST be	T 4 C 11 T(201)C 28
Giving to get is an inescapable law of the ego	T 4 C 15 T(202)C 29

itself. Every mythological system includes an account of the creation, and	T 4 C 21 T(205)C 32
goes. However, VALID behavior is an expression which is inherently contradictory	T 4 C 24 T(206)C 33
inherently contradictory, because validity is an END, and behavior is a	T 4 C 24 T(206)C 33

not believe that there is an order of difficulty in miracles	T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
to go for protection? Only an insane mind FAILS to ask	T 4 F 7 T(220)C 47
The ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself	T 4 F 12 T(223)C 50
concept to the unimportant in an effort to satisfy the mind	T 4 F 15 T(223)C 50

STRONGER they become. EVERYTHING is an idea. How, then, is it	T 5 B 4 T(234) C 61
any way. Third, it is an unequivocal call to love. Every	T 5 C 5 T(236)C 63
call you answer now IS an evaluation, because it is a	T 5 D 8 T(239)C 66

Holy Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter	T 5 E 14 T(245)C 72
ego, so we can clarify an earlier point which was mentioned	T 5 F 10 T(250)C 77
5 G 7. As an extreme example of dissociation yourself	T 5 G 7 T(255)C 82
ACT OF ASSAULT. This is an interpretation which is necessary to	T 5 G 8 T(256)C 83
is used, in fact, as an attempt to guarantee its survival	T 5 H 10 T(261)C 88
had Freud pursued it with an open mind. But Freud suffered	T 5 I 6 T(265)C 92
because he perceived it as an attack. T 5 I	T 5 I 7 T(266)C 93
can also be interpreted as an irrevocable call to sanity which	T 5 I 8 T(266)C 93
turn, because he was both an honest man and a healer	T 5 I 9 T(266)C 93
expected from insane premises EXCEPT an insane conclusion? T 6	T 6 A 1 T(271)C 98
The way to undo an insane conclusion is always to	T 6 A 2 T(271)C 98
we have often said that an extreme example is a particularly	T 6 A 2 T(271)C 98
been misplaced. Bill had become an outstanding example of allegiance to	T 6 A 3 T(271)C 98
It is nothing more than an extreme example. Its value, like	T 6 B 1 T(272)C 99
must be fully understood AS an impossibility. In fact, unless it	T 6 B 3 T(272)C 99
church. A church is where an altar is, and the presence	T 6 B 9 T(274)C 101
B 18. Bill is an outstanding example of this confusion	T 6 B 18 T(276)C 103
against this, because it is an explicit statement that the EGO	T 6 C 11 T(280)C 107

s friend. But it is an alliance frankly based on separation	T 6 E 5 T(285)C 112
because you are siding with an alliance OF fear. The ego	T 6 E 5 T(285)C 112
when you put yourselves in an impossible situation, you believed that	T 6 E 9 T(287)C 114
what YOU have made. In an impossible situation, you can develop	T 6 E 10 T(287)C 114
11. You are in an impossible situation only because you	T 6 E 11 T(287)C 114

are wholly joyous. This is an ongoing process, not in time	T 6 F 2 T(289)C 116
BECAUSE I DID. Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by	T 6 F 7 T(290)C 117
what the ego uses as an argument FOR separation into an	T 6 F 8 T(290)C 117
an argument FOR separation into an argument AGAINST it.	T 6 F 8 T(290)C 117
apparent that I was NOT. An insane learner learns strange lessons	T 6 G 1 T(293)C 120
it therefore perceive this as an ATTACK ON THEM. This is	T 6 G 2 T(293)C 120
does with YOU. This is an ongoing process in which you	T 7 A 1 T(303)C 130
PROJECT YOU BELIEVE. This is an immutable law of mind in	T 7 C 2 T(306)C 133
The term intraPERSONAL is an ego term, because personal implies	T 7 C 5 T(307)C 134
6. Healing is both an art and a science, as	T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
often been said. It is an art because it depends on	T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
without the Spirit, which is an illusion. You do not PUT	T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
Science is nothing more than an approach to WHAT ALREADY IS	T 7 E 7 T(315)C 142
is IN you. This is an intermediary step toward the knowledge	T 7 E 9 T(315)C 142
a SEPARATE ability which OPPOSES AN OPPOSITE. This is the way	T 7 E 10 T(316)C 143
will of God is not an ability but a real delusion	T 7 E 12 T(317)C 144
teach what you DO believe. An inconsistent lesson WILL be poorly	T 7 F 2 T(318)C 145
can recognize his power in an instant, and change the world	T 7 F 9 T(321)C 148
ways. One way shows you an image, or better, an idol	T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship	T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
Would I try to share an illusion with the most holy	T 7 F 14 T(322)C 149
meaningFUL. This can ONLY be an insane attempt.	T 7 G 13 T(328)C 155
insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His	T 7 H 3 T(330)C 157
mind to OTHER minds, in an attempt to persuade you that	T 7 I 3 T(335)C 162
7. You cannot perpetuate an illusion about another WITHOUT perpetuating	T 7 I 7 T(336)C 163
attack, because they COME from an attempt to PROJECT RESPONSIBILITY FOR	T 7 I 8 T(336)C 163
wholeness and peace. Miracles are AN EXPRESSION OF THIS CONFIDENCE. They	T 7 J 8 T(339)C 66
will. Therefore, you believe that an impossible choice IS open to	T 7 K 3 T(341)C 168
God. His will is not an idle wish, and your identification	T 7 K 6 T(342)C 169
The egos voice is an hallucination. You cannot expect the	T 8 A 3 T(346)C 173
EVERYTHING. Their joint curriculum presents an IMPOSSIBLE learning task. They are	T 8 B 5 T(348)C 175
be forced upon you, being an experience of total WILLINGNESS.	T 8 D 2 T(351)C 78
FROM everything. It is therefore an illusion of isolation, MAINTAINED by	T 8 E 2 T(354)C 181
to Gods Sons, being an acknowledgment of what they are	T 8 E 12 T(357)C 184
T 8 F 9. An unwilling will does not mean	T 8 F 9 T(361)C 188
become depressed. Being faced with an impossible learning situation, REGARDLESS of	T 8 G 9 T(365)C 192
a medium of ATTACK is an obvious confusion in purpose. To	T 8 G 13 T(367)C 194
Attack can only be an assumed goal of the body	T 8 G 16 T(367)C 194
does. Regarding the body as an end, it has no real	T 8 H 3 T(370)C 197
all, because it is NOT an end. You must have noticed	T 8 H 3 T(370)C 197
end. You must have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end	T 8 H 3 T(370)C 197
belief in the body as an end because this is synonymous	T 8 H 4 T(370)C 197
is synonymous with ATTACK AS AN END. The ego has a	T 8 H 4 T(370)C 197
a judge, gives anything BUT an impartial trial (judgment.) When the	T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
it has ALREADY MADE IT AN ALLY. It is still true	T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
is because it is NOT an end. The ego, however, establishes	T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
ego, however, establishes it AS an end because, as such, IT	T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
Do not let it be an image of your own perception	T 8 H 11 T(373)C 200
question is, although it asks an endless number. But YOU can	T 8 I 1 T(373)C 200
from the mind. This IS an attempt to DESTROY it. But	T 8 I 6 T(375)C 202
is not attempting to force an alien will UPON you. He	T 8 J 3 T(377)C 204
IS. It frequently happens that an individual asks for physical healing	T 8 K 2 T(382)- 209
Spirits good use of an ability which you do not	T 9 B 6 T(388)215
will merely place yourself in an impossible situation, to which the	T 9 C 4 T(389)216
problem of healing. There IS an advantage to bringing nightmares into	T 9 D 2 T(392)219
healed without magic, nor can an unimportant mind esteem itself without	T 9 D 8 T(394)221
approach, then, MUST arrive at an impasse, the characteristic impossible situation	T 9 D 8 T(394)221
MEANINGFUL contribution is to present an example of one whose direction	T 9 D 9 T(394)221
picture INTACT? You cannot evaluate an insane belief system from WITHIN	T 9 F 7 T(400)- 227
is not real. It is an attempt to COUNTERACT your littleness	T 9 G 2 T(401)228
comes from God. It IS an exalted answer, because of its	T 9 G 12 T(404)231
ONLY because the dissociation was an ATTACK ON TRUTH. You are	T 9 I 1 T(407)- 234
have REPLACED your knowledge by an awareness of dreams, BECAUSE YOU	T 9 I 1 T(407)- 234
misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack on truth, and truth	T 9 I 4 T(408)- 235
what you ARE, IT IS AN ATTACK ON YOUR IDENTIFICATION. Attack	T 9 I 5 T(408)- 235
you COULD not make such an insane decision. You make it	T 9 I 6 T(408)- 235
A sick god MUST be an idol, made in the image	T 9 I 11 T(410)- 237
of illusion, and sickness IS an illusion. Yet every Son of	T 9 I 14 T(410)- 237
Reality can dawn only in an unclouded mind. It is always	T 9 J 3 T(412)- 239
to do likewise. It is an act of faith, because it	T 9 J 9 T(414)- 241
of YOUR insanity, he IS an insane idea. He has many	T 9 K 3 T(415)- 242
Therefore, your decision is always an answer to the question, Who	T 10 A 1 T(419)- 246
WITHOUT you, there would be an empty place in Gods	T 10 B 5 T(421)- 248
Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host, BECAUSE HE WILL	T 10 C 6 T(426)253
ego identification, and as strong an ego defense as blaming others	T 10 E 6 T(431)258
knowledge, will leave you only an instant to realize that this	T 10 H 5 T(444)- 271
is true. EVERYTHING ELSE is an appeal for healing and help	T 11 B 1 T(449)- 276
277 that an appeal for help is something	T 11 B 2 T(450) 277 -
you are unwilling to perceive an appeal for help AS WHAT	T 11 B 3 T(450) 277 -
need HIS. ONLY appreciation is an appropriate response to your brother	T 11 B 4 T(450) 277 -
more consistently, you will gain an increasing awareness that HIS criteria	T 11 B 7 T(452)279
to regard everything else as an appeal for help, He has	T 11 B 8 T(452)279
taught you that FEAR is an appeal for help. This is	T 11 B 8 T(452)279
It is easy to help an uncertain child, for he recognizes	T 11 C 11 T(457)- 284
We therefore are embarking on an organized, well-structured, and carefully planned	T 11 C 17 T(458)- 285
yourself to believe, even for an instant, that there is another	T 11 D 5 T(460)287
be in his mind, but an INTERNAL conflict of this magnitude	T 11 D 7 T(461)- 288
is merely the result of an honest appraisal of what you	T 11 F 11 T(467)294
NOT within. This gives it an illusion of integrity, and enables	T 11 H 8 T(474)- 301
the undoing of GUILT is an essential part of the Holy	T 11 H 15 T(476)- 303
OF DENIAL. It is NOT an attempt to RELINQUISH denial, but	T 11 J 1 T(480)307
time, and time is but an illusion. For the Son of	T 11 J 9 T(482)309
IS no journey, but only an awakening. The Son of God	T 11 J 11 T(483)310
of salvation, they are in an excellent position to LET IT	T 12 B 2 T(485)312
Therefore, you made of Him an UNloving father, demanding of Him	T 12 C 11 T(490)317
questioning as in your perception. An open mind is more honest	T 12 D 3 T(492)319
future, making THEM continuous, WITHOUT an intervening present. For the ego	T 12 D 4 T(493)320
react NOW, you see but an image of him that you	T 12 F 1 T(500)327
no stores where people buy an endless list of things they	T 12 G 1 T(505)332
ASPECT IS SEPARATE. YOU are an aspect of knowledge, being in	T 13 A 2 T(510)337
This IS an insane world, and do not	T 13 F 3 T(526)353
BOTH of value, each representing an ESCAPE from what the other	T 13 H 2 T(530)- 357
is not a cause, but an EFFECT. It is the natural	T 13 H 5 T(531)- 358
light, darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of	T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
you that you are NOT an ego, and that MORE than	T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
ego, and that MORE than an ego MUST be in you	T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
USE this fancied undependability as an excuse for keeping certain dark	T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
1. The ego IS an ally of time, but NOT	T 15 B 1 T(563)- 390
at death and dissolution as an end, IT does not believe	T 15 B 2 T(564)391
were thought of merely as an end of pain, would it	T 15 B 2 T(564)391
from change. And change is an illusion, taught by those who	T 15 B 9 T(566)393
ask yourself, How long is an instant? Could you not give	T 15 B 10 T(566)393
of it. How long is an instant? It is as short	T 15 B 11 T(566)393
OFFER holiness. How long is an instant? As long as it	T 15 B 12 T(566)393
in Eternity. There never WAS an instant in which Gods	T 15 B 13 T(567)394
is bound, you CANNOT be. An instant, offered to the Holy	T 15 C 1 T(567)394
brothers TO your egos, in an attempt to support it, and	T 15 C 4 T(568)- 395
however dimly, that God is an IDEA, and so YOUR faith	T 15 G 2 T(581)408
LIKE your Father, YOU are an idea. And like Him, YOU	T 15 G 2 T(581)408
If you were not ONLY an idea, and NOTHING ELSE, you	T 15 G 7 T(582)- 409
This is its ONE attraction. An attraction so weak, that it	T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
And thus, it embarks on an endless, unrewarding chain of special	T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
anger is nothing more than an attempt to MAKE SOMEONE FEEL	T 15 H 10 T(587)- 414
I 5. Think but an instant on this; God gave	T 15 I 5 T(589)- 416
you join Him wholly, in an instant. For you would place	T 15 J 1 T(593)- 420
savage guest, for it is an invader who but SEEMS to	T 15 J 10 T(596)- 423
THEY CONFLICT, because they contain an element of specialness. Only the	T 16 B 4 T(603)430
The special love relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive	T 16 E 3 T(611)438
4. LOVE IS NOT AN ILLUSION. It is a FACT	T 16 E 4 T(612)439
but HATE. For hate IS an illusion, and what can change	T 16 E 4 T(612)439
love to them is only AN ESCAPE FROM DEATH. They seek	T 16 E 4 T(612)439
so long WILL love be an illusion to you. And then	T 16 E 5 T(612)439
the special love relationship is an attempt TO BRING LOVE INTO	T 16 E 7 T(613)440
it is nothing more than an attempt to bring love into	T 16 E 7 T(613)440
they take, they are always an attack on the self, TO	T 16 F 1 T(615)442
Heaven is nothing more than an ATTRACTIVE form of fear, in	T 16 F 8 T(618)445
the GIVING of specialness AS AN ACT OF LOVE, would MAKE	T 16 F 9 T(618)445
For the ego is ITSELF an illusion, and ONLY illusions can	T 16 F 9 T(618)445
enacted in the special relationship. An altar is erected IN BETWEEN	T 16 F 11 T(619)446
For the special relationship is an attempt to RE-ENACT the past	T 16 H 1 T(626)- 453
does not SEEM to be an acting out of vengeance that	T 16 H 5 T(627)- 454
arising from His Love. Be an ally of God, and NOT	T 16 H 10 T(628)- 455
is REFERRED for meaning, is an ILLUSION of the past, in	T 17 D 11 T(638)- 465
you who ARE truth, accept an idea so DANGEROUS to truth	T 17 E 10 T(643)470
set for you. That WAS an act of faith. Do not	T 17 F 6 T(647)474
Now you find yourselves in an INSANE relationship, RECOGNIZED as such	T 17 F 7 T(648)475
of it. The experience of an instant, HOWEVER compelling	T 17 F 12 T(649)476
look BEYOND each situation, in an understanding far broader than you	T 17 G 1 T(651)478
their INTRUSION on the relationship, an error in YOUR thoughts ABOUT	T 17 H 2 T(654)481
than a special case, or an extreme example, of what EVERY	T 17 I 1 T(657)484
substitutes. Their call is but an echo of the original error	T 18 B 10 T(662)489
fear pervade it, and in an instant the illusion of satisfaction	T 18 C 4 T(664)491
apart, its HOLINESS will become an offering to everyone. T	T 18 C 8 T(666)493
us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it	T 18 D 2 T(668)495
of means and purpose is an undertaking IMPOSSIBLE for you to	T 18 F 4 T(674)- 521
the peace of one is an equal threat to the other	T 18 F 6 T(675)- 572
a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and	T 18 G 1 T(676)503
liability, where it COULD be an asset. For fantasies have made	T 18 G 6 T(678)505
most holy Son can enter an abode which harbors hate, and	T 18 G 7 T(678)505
is NOT a prison, but an ILLUSION OF YOURSELF. T	T 18 G 8 T(678)505
the universal communication which is an eternal property of mind. But	T 18 G 9 T(678)505
some way? This makes it an end and not a means	T 18 H 1 T(682)631a
this happen for more than an instant, but it is in	T 18 H 2 T(682)631a
WITHOUT RESERVATION unless, JUST FOR AN INSTANT, you are willing to	T 18 H 4 T(682)631a
a body, know yourself AS AN IDEA? Everything you recognize you	T 18 I 1 T(685) 509
a separate kingdom, ruled by an IDEA of separation from the	T 18 I 6 T(686)510
have reached the end of an ancient journey not realizing yet	T 18 I 13 T(688)512
Its impenetrable appearance is WHOLLY an illusion. It gives way softly	T 18 J 7 T(691)515
it, for it is but an ILLUSION of a foundation. Try	T 18 J 7 T(691)515
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal the Son	T 19 A 2 T(694)518
you have made of it an enemy of healing, and the	T 19 B 2 T(695)519
divided goal has given both an EQUAL reality, and can SEEM	T 19 B 4 T(695)519
BE HEALED. The RESULT of an idea is NEVER separate from	T 19 B 6 T(696)520
your faithlessness. For faithlessness IS an attack, which SEEMS to be	T 19 B 7 T(696)520
CAN enslave a body, but an IDEA is free, INCAPABLE of	T 19 B 15 T(698)522
not error. For sin entails an arrogance which the idea of	T 19 C 2 T(699)523
HUMILITY? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation AWAY	T 19 C 4 T(700)524
sin has changed creation from an Idea of God to an	T 19 C 6 T(700)524
an Idea of God to an IDEAL the EGO wants; a	T 19 C 6 T(700)524
its sick appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that can	T 19 D 1 T(702)526
will be forever DESIRABLE. As an ESSENTIAL part of what the	T 19 D 1 T(702)526
ALWAYS want it. And only an AVENGER, with a mind UNLIKE	T 19 D 1 T(702)526
T 19 D 3. An ERROR, on the other hand	T 19 D 3 T(702)526
sin, granting that it was an error, but KEEPING IT UNCORRECTABLE	T 19 D 3 T(702)526
discontinuous. And this is but an error in perception, which can	T 19 D 6 T(703)527
is but the end of an illusion. Such was the journey	T 19 E 7 T(710)534
world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its	T 19 E 9 T(710)534
of truth? Can it oppose an eagles flight, or hinder	T 19 E 10 T(710)534
which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a	T 19 F 8 T(713)537
is a means, and NOT an end. It HAS no purpose	T 19 H 2 T(717)541
know that the RESULT of an idea leaves not its source	T 19 I 3 T(721)545
insane idea with His Own, an Answer which left Him not	T 19 J 4 T(722)546
NOT to make of it an OBSTACLE to peace, But let	T 19 J 11 T(725)549
not to make of love an enemy. T 19 L	T 19 L 6 T(730)554

but sees his chosen home an altar to HIMSELF. No-one but	T 20 C 3 T(735)559
T 20 D. Sin as an Adjustment (N not present in	T 20 D 0 T(740)564
The belief in sin is an ADJUSTMENT. And an adjustment is	T 20 D 1 T(740)564
sin is an ADJUSTMENT. And an adjustment is a CHANGE, a	T 20 D 1 T(740)564
question yet remains, and NEEDS an answer. Do you LIKE what	T 20 D 4 T(741)565
the Son of God invented an unholy relationship between him and	T 20 G 1 T(750)573
of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The first is	T 20 G 2 T(751)574
a RELATIONSHIP. The body is an isolated speck of darkness; a	T 20 G 5 T(751)574
They either ARE, or not. An unholy relationship is NO relationship	T 20 G 8 T(752)575
idea AGAINST reality, but for an instant? T 20 G	T 20 G 8 T(753)576
unto death, and given but an instant in which to sigh	T 20 G 11 T(754)577
instant SEEMS to be life. An instant of despair, a tiny	T 20 G 11 T(754)577
the ego. EITHER must be an error, for both would place	T 20 H 4 T(756)579
serving the cause of sin an instant, before he dies.	T 20 H 6 T(756)579
each other, you will see an altar to your Father, holy	T 20 I 4 T(759)582
MUST come after? Think but an instant just on this. YOU	T 20 I 12 T(762)584
mind, the OUTSIDE picture of an INWARD condition. As a man	T 21 A 1 T(763)585
you catch a hint of an ancient state not quite forgotten	T 21 B 5 T(765)587
and see if you remember an ancient song you knew so	T 21 B 6 T(765)587
and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden light that	T 21 B 6 T(766)588
that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible	T 21 C 6 T(769)591
gave away. Be willing, for an instant, to leave your altars	T 21 C 8 T(769)591
The holy instant is NOT an instant of creation, but of	T 21 C 8 T(769)591
JOINING of mind and body an INESCAPABLE belief of those who	T 21 D 10 T(776)597
so. For this MUST have an answer, if the plan of	T 21 F 8 T(782)603
upon them differently. Madness is an ATTACK on reason, that drives	T 21 G 4 T(784)605
is but a fact, NOT an interpretation. How can a fact	T 21 G 6 T(785)606
one with YOU, in just an instant. And ANY instant serves	T 21 G 7 T(785)606
and gives still. Spend but an instant in the glad ACCEPTANCE	T 21 G 9 T(786)607
out their dream. How would an army ACT in dreams? Any	T 21 H 4 T(789)610
overrun the world, and SEEK an enemy. But it can never	T 21 H 5 T(789)610
it can DREAM it found an enemy, but this will shift	T 21 H 5 T(789)610
no faith in sin without an enemy. T 21 H	T 21 H 5 T(789)610
to see a world WITHOUT an enemy, in which you are	T 21 H 9 T(791)612
a sinless world, and let an enemy tempt you to use	T 21 H 10 T(792)613
this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing	T 21 H 12 T(792)613
with time and place, is an illusion that has no meaning	T 21 H 13 T(792)613
because desire IS a request, an ASKING FOR, and made by	T 21 I 3 T(793)614
if sin were so. For an unholy relationship is BASED on	T 22 A 2 T(795)- 616
EVER be made understandable, by an interpreter you cannot understand. Of	T 22 B 6 T(798)618
so recently reborn itself from an unholy relationship, and yet more	T 22 B 8 T(799)619
and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is time	T 22 B 11 T(799)619
620 IS AN ILLUSION. And truth came instantly	T 22 B 11 T(800)620
and seek another, is hardly an ESCAPE. To change ILLUSIONS is	T 22 C 2 T(801)621
reason sees the SOURCE of an idea as what will make	T 22 C 5 T(802)622
and gladness, the function of an executioner YOU gave him for	T 22 C 11 T(804)624
And therefore MUST have been an error. The egos OPPOSITION	T 22 D 2 T(805)625
it easily BECAUSE it is an error. The FORM it takes	T 22 D 3 T(805)625
is a mistake, an error in perception, a distorted	T 22 D 4 T(806)626
NOT reality, it MUST be an illusion. And is Not THERE	T 22 D 7 T(806)626
confusion, and IN AWARENESS. In an unholy relationship, each one is	T 22 D 9 T(807)627
no solid wall. And only an illusion stands between you and	T 22 E 9 T(810)629
What can this be, except an invitation to insanity, to save	T 22 F 2 T(811)630
s eyes it looks like an enormous, solid body, immovable as	T 22 F 5 T(812)631
have identified YOUR SELF with an illusion. And therefore feel that	T 22 F 6 T(812)631
you perceive and justify IS an attack upon your Father. And	T 22 G 12 T(817)636
No-one is strong who has an enemy. And no-one can attack	T 23 A 1 T(819)638

its fixed belief it has an enemy that it MUST overcome	T 23 B 1 T(821)640
meet at a mistake;-- an error in your self-appraisal. The	T 23 B 3 T(821)640
self-appraisal. The ego joins with an ILLUSION of yourself you SHARE	T 23 B 3 T(821)640
This enemy you fought as an INTRUDER on your peace is	T 23 B 4 T(822)641
that was less real, MADE an illusion by defeat. For conflict	T 23 B 9 T(823)642
Yet they APPEAR to constitute an obstacle to reason and to	T 23 C 1 T(825)644
done is thus interpreted as an irrevocable sentence on himself, which	T 23 C 4 T(826)645
murder NOT mean death? Can an attack in ANY form be	T 23 C 18 T(831)650
can you be content with an illusion that YOU are living	T 23 C 19 T(831)650
reason, and yet perceived as an eternal BARRIER to Heaven. Illusions	T 23 C 20 T(831)650
make the gift you give. An empty box, however beautiful and	T 23 D 2 T(833)652
purpose. And no-one COMPROMISES with an enemy but hates him still	T 23 D 5 T(834)653
because the guns are stilled an instant and the fear that	T 23 D 6 T(834)653
is not loving MUST be an attack. EVERY illusion is an	T 23 E 2 T(835)654
an attack. EVERY illusion is an assault on truth. And every	T 23 E 2 T(835)654
conflicting outcomes ARE impossible. But an UNRECOGNIZED ---	T 24 B 1 T(838)657
to KEEP your specialness, IS an illusion. He who is worse	T 24 B 5 T(840)659
For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of	T 24 B 9 T(841)660
1. Comparison MUST be an ego device, for love makes	T 24 C 1 T(842)661
value specialness is to esteem an alien will, to which illusions	T 24 C 2 T(842)661

they think they see IS an illusion. T 24 C	T 24 C 5 T(843)662

that suits you not, or an event that you did not	T 24 D 3 T(847)666
would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what	T 24 D 5 T(848)667
treasure-house barren and empty, with an open door inviting everything that	T 24 E 4 T(851)670
dream of specialness which lasts an instant, crumbling into dust.	T 24 E 5 T(851)670
shifting, tiny gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of	T 24 F 4 T(853)672
outward picture of a wish, an image that you WANTED to	T 24 H 9 T(862)681
H 10. Here is an image that you WANT to	T 24 H 10 T(862)681
The son of man perceives an alien will, AND WISHES IT	T 24 H 12 T(864)683
and NOT itself. Who hangs an empty frame upon a wall	T 25 C 4 T(869)688
and complete forgiveness. Nothing remains an instant, to obscure the sinlessness	T 25 D 5 T(874)693
need he stay more than an instant. For he has come	T 25 D 6 T(874)693
justify his anger, turned to an event which justifies his love	T 25 D 6 T(874)693
thus IT MUST HAVE BEEN AN ERROR, NOT a sin. For	T 25 D 9 T(875)694
it will give to each an EQUAL strength to save the	T 25 F 4 T(881)700
damn another. He is not an arbiter of vengeance, nor a	T 25 G 1 T(883)702
Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but ONE	T 25 H 4 T(887)706
This One but points to an ALTERNATIVE, ANOTHER way of looking	T 25 H 9 T(888)707
to him that it is an alternative he WANTS. From this	T 25 H 10 T(889)708
devil dressed to deceive, within an angels cloak? And what	T 25 I 7 T(893)712
cause can BE to warrant an attack upon the innocent? In	T 25 I 11 T(895)714
to give another MUST be an injustice to them both, since	T 25 I 13 T(896)715
asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands the slightest	T 25 J 3 T(897)716
perception leaves no GROUNDS for an attack. Only a LOSS could	T 25 J 4 T(898)717
BECAUSE he does not merit an attack of any kind. What	T 25 J 5 T(898)717
gift, were given specially to an elect and special group, and	T 25 J 6 T(899)718
that ALL your brothers have an equal right to miracles with	T 25 J 7 T(899)718
you GIVE. Each one becomes an illustration of the law on	T 25 J 9 T(899)718
MUST benefit. Each miracle is an example of what justice can	T 25 J 9 T(899)718
apparent, for it is ALWAYS an attempt to LIMIT LOSS. The	T 26 A 1 T(901)720
problem gone, because it was an error in perception, which now	T 26 C 2 T(904)723
ALL errors. Every problem IS an error. It does injustice to	T 26 C 3 T(904)723
mistake WITHOUT a remedy, or an affliction WITHOUT a cure, has	T 26 C 6 T(906)725
simple; it is one, WITHOUT an opposite. And how could strife	T 26 D 1 T(907)726
That there IS choice is an illusion. Yet, within this ONE	T 26 D 6 T(908)727
possible in the relinquishment of an illusion RECOGNIZED as such. Where	T 26 D 6 T(909)728

have denied it is but an illusion, and MADE IT REAL	T 26 G 1 T(917)743
NOT outside at all, but an effect of what is in	T 26 H 3 T(918)744

For such an insane picture, an insane defense can be expected	T 26 H 6 T(919)745

there is NO reason for an interval in which disaster strikes	T 26 I 7 T(927)753
would you trade Them for an ancient hate? The ground whereon	T 26 J 2 T(928)754

spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a	T 26 J 5 T(929)755

to bless and to REPLACE an ancient enmity that came to	T 26 J 7 T(930)756
view, you seek to find an innocence which is NOT Theirs	T 26 K 4 T(932)758

receive the power to represent an endless life, forever unattacked. And	T 27 B 9 T(937)763
him. To forgive may be an act of charity, but NOT	T 27 C 1 T(938)764
are miracles! For they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance	T 27 C 7 T(940)766

even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as	T 27 C 9 T(940)766
what it really IS. From an idea of self AS TWO	T 27 C 13 T(942)768

point of view is NOT an answer in another light. You	T 27 E 1 T(947)773

and nothing has been learned. An HONEST question is a learning	T 27 E 5 T(948)774
for he does not WANT an honest answer, where the conflict	T 27 E 5 T(948)774
within the Holy Instant can an honest question honestly be asked	T 27 E 6 T(948)774
here it can be HEARD. An honest answer asks NO sacrifice	T 27 E 6 T(948)774

between a tiny you and an enormous world, with DIFFERENT dreams	T 27 H 10 T(960)786
A brother SEPARATED from yourself, an ancient enemy, a murderer who	T 27 H 11 T(960)786
Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God	T 27 H 13 T(961)787

The world but demonstrates an ancient truth; - you WILL	T 27 I 8 T(964)790
Nothing employed for healing represents an effort to do anything at	T 28 A 3 T(967)793

They are but skills WITHOUT an application. They AWAIT their use	T 28 A 3 T(967)793

unquiet minds, and bringing them an instants stillness, when the	T 28 B 9 T(970)796

you. An empty storehouse, with an open door, holds ALL your	T 28 C 4 T(973)- 799

Remember if you SHARE an evil dream, you will believe	T 28 F 3 T(982)808
your Self, and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator	T 28 F 3 T(982)808
You are your Self or an illusion. What CAN be between	T 28 F 3 T(982)808
is no lack in him. An empty space, a little gap	T 28 H 1 T(987)813
your home, but merely as an aid to help you reach	T 28 H 3 T(987)813
within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on	T 28 H 7 T(989)815
lest he turn again into an enemy. Let him come close	T 29 A 3 T(990)816
serve to hold you back an instant from His Love? Would	T 29 B 5 T(992)818

as an enemy? Why does an EASY path, so clearly marked	T 29 C 1 T(993)819
thing that happens suddenly, as an effect without a cause. Nor	T 29 C 2 T(993)819
have assigned; some goal which an event, or body, or a	T 29 E 4 T(1000)814
the dream, each dream becomes an offering of love. For at	T 29 E 6 T(1000)814
SEEMS eternal all will have an end. The stars will disappear	T 29 G 2 T(1004)818
return. Where time has set an end is not where the	T 29 G 2 T(1004)818
you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be	T 29 H 1 T(1006)820
proclaims a message OTHER than an idol found, which represents a	T 29 H 5 T(1007)821
in what appeared to be an endless circle of despair, you	T 29 H 6 T(1007)821
have made of your reality an idol, which you must protect	T 29 H 8 T(1008)822
of death is NOTHING lost. An idol CANNOT take the place	T 29 H 8 T(1008)822
I 1. What is an idol? Do you think you	T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
why they have been made. An idol is an image of	T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
been made. An idol is an image of your brother, which	T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
a situation or a circumstance, an object owned or wanted, or	T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
T 29 I 3. An idol is a false impression	T 29 I 3 T(1009)823
Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish, made	T 29 I 3 T(1009)823
I 5. What is an idol? Nothing! It must be	T 29 I 5 T(1010)824
BEEN created, so It IS. An idol is ESTABLISHED by belief	T 29 I 5 T(1010)824
I 7. WHERE is an idol? Nowhere! Can there be	T 29 I 7 T(1011)825
HAS no place to be. An idol is beyond where God	T 29 I 7 T(1011)825
be. Nothing and nowhere MUST an idol be, while God is	T 29 I 7 T(1011)825
and everywhere. What purpose has an idol, then? What is it	T 29 I 7 T(1011)825
But MORE of SOMETHING is an idol FOR. And when one	T 29 I 8 T(1011)825
by forms the something takes. An idol is a means for	T 29 I 8 T(1011)825
J 3. Thus does an idol KEEP the dream alive	T 29 J 3 T(1012)826
which they come. Judgment is an INjustice to Gods Son	T 29 J 3 T(1012)826
you, be sure you made an idol, and believe it will	T 29 J 9 T(1014)828
out your mind to WANT an answer that will work. Be	T 30 B 3 T(1017) 831
yourself, and MUST have set an answer in your terms. Then	T 30 B 4 T(1017) 831
It is a statement of an open mind, not certain yet	T 30 B 8 T(1019)833
limited? You do not WANT an idol. It is NOT your	T 30 D 2 T(1023)837
This is the purpose of an idol; that you will not	T 30 D 3 T(1023)837
of them, and sometimes not. An unremembered thought is born again	T 30 D 7 T(1025)839
like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high in	T 30 D 8 T(1025)839
AWARE of more than one. An idol OR the Thought God	T 30 D 10 T(1026)840
What could it BE but an illusion, making things appear like	T 30 E 5 T(1028)842
not WANT whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the	T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
back, and think they see an idol that they want. Yet	T 30 F 6 T(1031)845
to His Fathers house. An ancient hate is passing from	T 30 F 7 T(1032)846
except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of	T 30 F 8 T(1032)846
there never was a time an idol brought you ANYTHING except	T 30 F 8 T(1032)846
then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he	T 30 F 9 T(1032)846
BEYOND forgiveness. There would be an error that is MORE than	T 30 G 5 T(1035)849
ENTIRELY. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is	T 30 G 7 T(1035)849
understand he COULD not make an error that could change the	T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
as having power to make an idol of the Son of	T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
think of it. You ADD an element into the script you	T 30 H 1 T(1037)851
will believe the world is an uncertain place, in which you	T 30 H 7 T(1039)853
be so. But it IS an assertion that some FORMS of	T 30 I 3 T(1040)854
learn it could make such an easy lesson difficult. How hard	T 31 A 1 T(1042)856
the first accomplishment of learning; an enormity so great the Holy	T 31 A 4 T(1043)857

you would learn, and have an outcome which you do not	T 31 A 11 T(1045)859
Let us be still an instant, and forget all things	T 31 A 12 T(1046)860
as you are free, because an ancient learning passed away, and	T 31 A 12 T(1046)860

T 31 B 1. An ancient lesson is not overcome	T 31 B 1 T(1046)860
in the new. There IS an ancient battle being waged AGAINST	T 31 B 1 T(1046)860
to you, because you see an image of yourself, and hear	T 31 B 5 T(1047)861
myself. Then let us wait an instant and be still, forgetting	T 31 B 5 T(1047)861
7. Be very still an instant. Come without all thought	T 31 B 7 T(1048)862
T 31 B 9. An instant spent without your old	T 31 B 9 T(1049)863
be a road with such an aim. Where could it go	T 31 D 9 T(1054)868
fits it well. For this an image is that suits a	T 31 E 1 T(1055)869
yourself at all. It is an idol, made to take the	T 31 E 1 T(1055)869
that it is good, within an evil world. This aspect can	T 31 E 2 T(1055)869
is exactly as he was an instant previous. Nor will he	T 31 F 2 T(1061)875
same as he is now an instant hence. Who could have	T 31 F 2 T(1061)875
your brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds	T 31 G 9 T(1065)879
this give rise to BUT an image of yourself that CAN	T 31 G 10 T(1066)880
are; all those you saw an instant and forgot, and those	T 31 G 10 T(1066)880
and every place you raised an image of yourself before. For	T 31 G 4 T(1069)883
will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing	W 1 IN1 1 W(1)
attempt to include everything in an area or you will introduce	W 2 L 1 W(4)

little or no uneasiness and an inclination to do more, as	W 11 L 4 W(19)
or a violent world, or an insane world. All these attributes	W 12 L 1 W(20)
and a satisfying world implies an unsatisfying one. All terms which	W 12 L 3 W(20)

as you say: This is an image which I have made	W 15 L 4 W(26)
I have made. That is an image which I have made	W 15 L 4 W(26)
seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility, and	W 19 L 2 W(32)
may even be regarded as an invasion of privacy. Yet it	W 19 L 2 W(32)
Do not misconstrue it as an effort to exert force or	W 20 L 2 W(34)
and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting to do	W 20 L 5 W(35)
not so. It is merely an example of the belief that	W 21 L 3 W(36)
perceived as self-defense. This becomes an increasingly vicious circle until he	W 22 L 1 W(37)
change because it is merely an effect. But there is indeed	W 23 L 2 W(38)
tell yourself: That thought is an attack upon myself. Conclude each	W 26 L 8 W(45)
to seeing. It is not an exclusive commitment. It is a	W 28 L 4 W(47)
is applied to it, in an attempt to acknowledge the equal	W 28 L 7 W(48)
for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you	W 29 L 6 W(50)
Todays idea is an attempt to recognize that you	W 33 L 1 W(54)
and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely	W 33 L 2 W(54)
Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin	W 34 L 1 W(55)

some three or four times an hour and more if possible	W 39 L 10 W(66)

The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the idea	W 43 L 5 W(73)
reflects life, and is therefore an aspect of creation. Creation and	W 44 L 1 W(75)
equipment for seeing outside you. An essential part of this equipment	W 44 L 2 W(75)
inestimable value to you, and an awareness that you are attempting	W 44 L 8 W(76)
approach it as you would an altar dedicated in Heaven itself	W 45 L 8 W(79)
is no idle game, but an exercise in holiness and an	W 45 L 8 W(79)
an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the Kingdom	W 45 L 8 W(79)
entitled. You must also gain an awareness that your confidence in	W 47 L 6 W(84)
knowing the right people, and an endless list of forms of	W 50 L 1 W(88)
not vision. It is merely an illusion of reality, because my	W 51 L 2 W(92)

You have surely noticed an emphasis throughout our recent lessons	W 66 L 1 W(121)

gifts to give, being itself an illusion and offering only the	W 66 L 8 W(122)
helpful today if undertaken twice an hour, this form of the	W 66 L 12 W(123)
self-images. Four or five times an hour, and perhaps even more	W 67 L 5 W(125)
repeat the idea several times an hour in this form: Love	W 68 L 8 W(127)
that all guilt is solely an invention of your mind, you	W 70 L 1 W(131)
hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe	W 71 L 2 W(134)
us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to	W 71 L 6 W(135)
some six or seven times an hour. There could be no	W 71 L 9 W(136)
Lesson 72. Holding grievances is an attack on Gods plan	W 72 L 0 W(137)
yet emphasized that it is an active attack on His plan	W 72 L 1 W(137)
apparent why holding grievances is an attack on Gods plan	W 72 L 3 W(137)
perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for	W 72 L 12 W(139)
as follows: Holding grievances is an attack on Gods plan	W 72 L 12 W(139)
us, nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let	W 73 L 8 W(142)
is not the purpose of an alien power, thrust upon you	W 73 L 9 W(142)
should be repeated several times an hour. It is most important	W 73 L 11 W(143)
torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the Will of	W 74 L 1 W(144)
deep sense of joy and an increased alertness, rather than a	W 74 L 5 W(145)
Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today	W 75 L 8 W(147)
least four or five times an hour, as well as in	W 76 L 13 W(151)
that they confront you with an impossible situation. Dismay and depression	W 79 L 5 W(157)
today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts will be	W 79 L 9 W(158)
would not use this for an alien purpose.	W 81 L 6 W(164)
I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function	W 82 L 4 W(165)
idea: Let me not see an illusion of myself in this	W 84 L 3 W(167)
72 Holding grievances is an attack on Gods plan	W 86 L 4 W(169)
5. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God	W 86 L 5 W(169)
but certain. I am not an illusion, but a reality. I	W 91 L 8 W(175)
Five or six times an hour, at reasonably regular intervals	W 91 L 11 W(176)
The idea for today is an extension of the previous one	W 92 L 1 W(177)
truth about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshipped, and adored	W 92 L 4 W(178)
Which never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. This	W 94 L 3 W(183)
habit of using it as an automatic response to temptation.	W 95 L 5 W(186)
keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for a	W 95 L 7 W(186)
lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to	W 95 L 7 W(186)
your mistakes be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again. The	W 95 L 8 W(186)
accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you	W 96 L 2 W(189)
tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out	W 97 L 7 W(193)
L 6. Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full	W 98 L 6 W(195)
no cause. Accept atonement with an open mind which cherishes no	W 101 L 5 W(203)
L 1. Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot	W 103 L 1 W(207)
This implies a limit and an insufficiency. W 105 L	W 105 L 1 W(210)
if you will listen with an open mind which has not	W 106 L 1 W(213)
to receive? Ask and expect an answer. Your request is one	W 106 L 8 W(214)
the other one a half an hour later. You need not	W 110 R3 10 W(229)
cannot sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness	W 121 L 6 W(242)
unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own	W 121 L 7 W(242)
whom you think of as an enemy and one whom you	W 121 L 9 W(243)
Why would you seek an answer other than the answer	W 122 L 4 W(244)
it stands before you, like an open door with warmth and	W 122 L 5 W(244)
so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond	W 122 L 6 W(245)
gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in	W 122 L 10 W(245)
minute as each quarter of an hour passes by.	W 122 L 14 W(246)
thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save	W 123 L 5 W(249)
thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him will be	W 123 L 7 W(249)
seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that	W 124 L 8 W(251)
is our first attempt at an extended period for which we	W 124 L 8 W(251)
Abide with Him this half an hour. He will do the	W 124 L 8 W(251)
upon your mind. This half an hour will be framed in	W 124 L 9 W(251)
the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to	W 124 L 10 W(252)
which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time	W 124 L 10 W(252)
dependably and sure. It is an eccentricity in which you sometimes	W 126 L 5 W(256)
sometimes choose to give indulgently an undeserved reprieve. Yet it remains	W 126 L 5 W(256)
you have a goal today; an aim which makes this day	W 126 L 11 W(257)
Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the	W 127 L 3 W(258)
Self. At least three times an hour think of one who	W 127 L 11 W(260)
you see some value in an aspect or an image of	W 128 L 8 W(262)
value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse	W 128 L 8 W(262)
step certain; now you stand an instants space away from	W 129 L 5 W(264)
which comes to you from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old	W 131 L 3 W(269)
yet remembered, old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgot	W 131 L 3 W(269)
not try longer to impose an alien will upon His single	W 131 L 8 W(270)
self-deception laid aside, and with an honest willingness to value but	W 133 L 13 W(279)
perceived as something which entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath	W 134 L 1 W(281)
to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself	W 134 L 3 W(281)
to deceive yourself by making an illusion true. This twisted viewpoint	W 134 L 3 W(281)
us give a quarter of an hour twice today, and spend	W 134 L 15 W(284)
A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness	W 135 L 2 W(285)
threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that	W 135 L 2 W(285)
2. Sickness is not an accident. Like all defenses, it	W 136 L 2 W(291)
Like all defenses, it is an insane device for self deception	W 136 L 2 W(291)
beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect	W 136 L 4 W(291)
plan you lay when, for an instant, truth arises in your	W 136 L 7 W(292)
which demonstrates that time is an illusion. For it lets you	W 136 L 13 W(293)
will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the	W 136 L 15 W(294)
think that all things have an opposite, and what we want	W 138 L 1 W(300)
and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its	W 138 L 11 W(302)
no magic. It is merely an appeal to truth, which cannot	W 140 L 6 W(308)
not a thought which judges an illusion by its size, its	W 140 L 6 W(308)
not judgment. It is merely an opinion based on ignorance and	W 151 L 1 W(316)
longer true. Truth cannot have an opposite. This can not be	W 152 L 3 W(321)
sanity seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible	W 153 L 4 W(324)
now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image	W 153 L 7 W(325)
we will find that half an hour is too short a	W 153 L 15 W(327)
W 154 L 7. An earthly messenger fulfills his role	W 154 L 7 W(330)
2. The world is an illusion. Those who choose to	W 155 L 2 W(333)
perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God	W 156 L 6 W(338)
attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond	W 157 L 2 W(339)
you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision	W 157 L 9 W(340)
a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be	W 158 L 7 W(342)
hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His	W 159 L 10 W(346)
What is your Self remains an alien to the part of	W 160 L 1 W(347)
our midst, who comes from an idea so foreign to the	W 160 L 2 W(347)
a thing to be attacked. An enemy must be perceived in	W 161 L 7 W(351)
of God Himself perceived within an idol made of dust. Here	W 163 L 4 W(356)
For here again we see an obvious position which we must	W 163 L 6 W(357)
is more and more distinct; an ancient Call to Which He	W 164 L 2 W(359)
Call to Which He gives an ancient answer. You will recognize	W 164 L 2 W(359)
can not intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in	W 164 L 4 W(359)
ever been apart from It an instant. It belongs to you	W 165 L 2 W(362)
world he made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He	W 166 L 4 W(364)
afraid indeed, and homeless too; an outcast wandering so far from	W 166 L 4 W(364)
understand, to which He gave an Answer. That is all. And	W 166 L 10 W(366)
There is no death because an opposite to God does not	W 167 L 1 W(368)
body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is	W 167 L 3 W(368)
is not, and to assume an alien power which it does	W 167 L 9 W(369)
while. It dreams of time; an interval in which what seems	W 167 L 9 W(369)
sleeps and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is	W 167 L 10 W(370)
opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of	W 167 L 10 W(370)
grace is more than just an answer. It restores all memories	W 168 L 3 W(371)
will come, with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace	W 168 L 4 W(371)
remains that Heaven be delayed an instant longer? What remains undone	W 168 L 4 W(371)
L 1. Grace is an aspect of the Love of	W 169 L 1 W(373)
gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for	W 169 L 1 W(373)
prepare for grace in that an open mind can hear the	W 169 L 3 W(373)
of the Unity he felt an instant back to bless the	W 169 L 13 W(375)
you were glad to go an instant and accept the gifts	W 169 L 14 W(376)
Yet your defense sets up an enemy within; an alien thought	W 170 L 3 W(377)
sets up an enemy within; an alien thought at war with	W 170 L 3 W(377)
irreconcilable. For love now has an enemy, an opposite; and fear	W 170 L 3 W(377)
love now has an enemy, an opposite; and fear, the alien	W 170 L 3 W(377)
your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before	W 170 R5 10 W(383)
goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern	W 181 L 3 W(388)
we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the	W 181 L 7 W(389)
without response, nor said without an echo in the mind which	W 182 L 2 W(391)
minds, you have established there an altar which reaches to God	W 182 L 5 W(392)
Thus do we give an invitation which can never be	W 182 L 7 W(392)
of. Yet still you feel an alien here, from somewhere all	W 183 L 1 W(394)
say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent	W 183 L 1 W(394)
This Childhood is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever	W 183 L 4 W(394)
few instants of respite; just an interval in which He can	W 183 L 5 W(395)
belong and where He lives an outcast in a world of	W 183 L 7 W(395)
When you are still an instant, when the world recedes	W 183 L 8 W(395)
today. You are as much an alien here as He.	W 183 L 10 W(396)
and sword you raised against an enemy without existence. Christ has	W 183 L 11 W(396)
open, and the journey has an end in sight at last	W 183 L 12 W(396)
a unity which functions with an independent will. W 184	W 184 L 2 W(398)
name for each awareness of an aspect of Gods Son	W 184 L 14 W(401)
but mean them for just an instant, there would be no	W 185 L 1 W(402)
could be unanswered who requests an answer which is his to	W 185 L 11 W(404)
L 6. Arrogance makes an image of yourself that is	W 186 L 6 W(407)
leaves that form a patterning an instant, break apart to group	W 186 L 9 W(408)
that they change ten times an hour at their most secure	W 186 L 10 W(408)
from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which	W 186 L 14 W(409)
to take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad that sanity	W 187 L 7 W(411)
a nightmare of abandonment by an Eternal Love Which could not	W 190 L 2 W(419)
no power to cause. As an effect it cannot make effects	W 190 L 7 W(420)
it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you	W 190 L 7 W(420)
not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind	W 193 L 7 W(429)
learn. He would not leave an unforgiving thought without correction, nor	W 193 L 9 W(429)
serene, without a care in an eternal home which cares for	W 193 L 9 W(429)
gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it will be	W 194 L 9 W(434)
opening at last to us. An ancient door is swinging free	W 195 L 7 W(436)
found. For gratitude is but an aspect of the love which	W 195 L 10 W(437)
mind that you are not an ego. For the ways in	W 196 L 3 W(438)
L 10. There is an instant in which terror seems	W 196 L 10 W(440)
within. It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to	W 196 L 10 W(440)
L 11. Now, for an instant, is a murderer perceived	W 196 L 11 W(440)
suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there	W 197 L 9 W(445)
Only That can be perceived an instant longer. Then are symbols	W 197 L 11 W(445)
Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this single	W 197 L 12 W(445)
in the ability to serve an undivided goal. In conflict-free and	W 199 L 6 W(448)
s eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is	W 200 L 10 W(451)
would I choose to stay an instant more where I do	W 202 L 1 W(454)
W 220 W1 2. An unforgiving thought is one which	W 220 W1 2 W(462)
W 220 W1 3. An unforgiving thought does many things	W 220 W1 3 W(462)
guarantees that time will have an end, and all the thoughts	W 230 W2 1 W(473)
they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name	W 230 W2 3 W(473)
Gods Son has but an instant more to wait until	W 230 W2 5 W(473)
The world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes	W 240 W3 2 W(484)
is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now	W 249 L 1 W(493)
is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal Life must die	W 250 W4 3 W(495)
him, and loves him with an everlasting Love Which his pretenses	W 250 W4 4 W(495)
Its love is limitless, with an intensity which holds all things	W 252 L 1 W(497)
separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope	W 270 W6 2 W(517)
Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true	W 275 W6 1 W(522)
1. Father, I made an image of myself, and it	W 283 L 1 W(531)
dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day	W 290 L 1 W(538)
reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be	W 292 L 1 W(541)
so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of	W 296 L 2 W(545)
Lesson 300. Only an instant does this world endure	W 300 L 0 W(549)
the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond	W 300 L 2 W(549)
so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me	W 306 L 1 W(556)
You give. We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son	W 306 L 2 W(556)
and we cannot stray except an instant from His loving hand	W 324 L 2 W(576)
there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the	W 325 L 1 W(577)
own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes	W 325 L 1 W(577)
Lesson 326. I am forever an Effect of God.	W 326 L 0 W(578)
me know that I am an Effect of God, and so	W 326 L 1 W(578)
salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has	W 327 L 1 W(579)
thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever	W 344 L 1 W(598)
a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he	W 344 L 1 W(598)
close. I need not wait an instant more, to be at	W 355 L 1 W(610)
course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with	W 361 EP 1 W(619)
For we go homeward to an open door which God has	W 361 EP 5 W(620)
is enough. He has entered an agreement with God, even if	M 2 A 1 M(3)
in it. Yet time has an ending, and it is this	M 2 A 4 M(4)
really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient that it	M 3 A 4 M(5)
remembering. Yet because it is an instant that is relived again	M 3 A 4 M(5)
has the teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out of an	M 3 A 4 M(5)
an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. Gods Will	M 3 A 4 M(5)
of two apparent strangers in an elevator, a child who is	M 4 A 2 M(6)
he is going running into an adult by accident, two students	M 4 A 2 M(6)
when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him	M 5 B 2 M(9)
defense? No one can become an advanced teacher of God until	M 5 G 1 M(14)
A 1. Healing involves an understanding of what the illusion	M 6 A 1 M(18)
greater worth. For sickness is an election; a decision. It is	M 6 B 1 M(18)
of the body must be an acceptable idea. M 6	M 6 C 3 M(20)
have the gift. Trust is an essential part of giving; in	M 7 A 3 M(22)
trust. As such, it is an attack. Usually it seems to	M 8 A 4 M(24)
trust has been placed in an illusory self, for only such	M 8 A 5 M(24)
it be otherwise? By definition, an illusion is an attempt to	M 9 A 2 M(25)
By definition, an illusion is an attempt to make something real	M 9 A 2 M(25)
against truth and gives itself an illusion of victory. Finding health	M 9 A 2 M(26)
the world uses the term, an individual is capable of good	M 11 A 1 M(28)
not have. He gives up an illusion; or better, he has	M 11 A 2 M(29)
illusion; or better, he has an illusion of giving up. He	M 11 A 2 M(29)
is impossible. This is not an opinion but a fact. In	M 11 A 3 M(29)
to be fully aware of an inconceivably wide range of things	M 11 A 3 M(29)
Why would you choose such an arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom	M 11 A 4 M(29)
Like all lessons it is an illusion, for in reality there	M 14 A 1 M(34)
What could this be but an illusion, since this world itself	M 14 A 1 M(34)
to give up pain? Does an adult resent the giving up	M 14 A 4 M(35)
The world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet	M 15 A 1 M(37)
Yet will its ending be an illusion of mercy. The illusion	M 15 A 1 M(37)
of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the teacher of God	M 15 A 3 M(37)
to occupy your holy minds an instant longer. God’s Judgment waits	M 16 A 3 M(40)
The saving of time is an essential early emphasis which, although	M 17 A 3 M(41)
One can easily sit still an hour with closed eyes, and	M 17 A 4 M(41)
as easily give God only an instant, and in that instant	M 17 A 4 M(41)
11. Is not this an exchange that you would want	M 17 A 11 M(44)
light can shine again on an untroubled mind. 18	M 17 A 11 M(44)
a fact. It is always an interpretation that gives rise to	M 18 A 4 M(45)
kill. Here is salvation now. An angry Father pursues His guilty	M 18 A 7 M(46)
manifest simplicity stands out like an intense white light against a	M 18 A 8 M(46)
is. If anger comes from an interpretation and not a fact	M 18 A 8 M(46)
which you have projected on an outside world. Let this grim	M 18 A 9 M(47)
realize that he has made an interpretation which is not true	M 19 A 4 M(48)
Justice, like its opposite, is an interpretation. It is, however, the	M 20 A 2 M(49)
judgment wholly lacking in condemnation; an evaluation based entirely on love	M 20 A 4 M(49)
it is but illusion of an end. Death cannot be escape	M 21 A 5 M(51)
which God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did	M 21 A 5 M(51)
Jesus Christ. Is this merely an appeal to magic? A name	M 24 A 1 M(56)
does not heal, nor does an invocation call forth any special	M 24 A 1 M(56)
that he sees in it an image of his Father. You	M 24 A 5 M(57)
burdens. Nor would there be an advantage in his premature acceptance	M 25 A 3 M(58)
and it is obviously merely an appeal to magic to make	M 26 A 1 M(60)
sees in these same strengths an opportunity to glorify itself. Strengths	M 26 A 4 M(61)
co-exist with God. It holds an image of the Son of	M 28 A 3 M(64)
see that otherwise He has an opposite, and fear would be	M 28 A 6 M(65)
His language. He understands that an attack is a call for	M 30 A 6 M(70)
of a question to which an answer is impossible. The ego	U 1 A 4 U(1)
there is no answer; only an experience. Seek only this, and	U 1 A 4 U(1)
illusory state, the concept of an individual mind seems to be	U 2 A 2 U(2)
nature. It would, however, be an equivalent of spirit, with the	U 2 A 3 U(2)
that it is nothing but an ancient thought that what is	U 3 A 1 U(4)
undefinable? And yet there is an answer even here. U	U 3 A 3 U(4)
Where is the ego? In an evil dream that but seemed	U 3 A 6 U(5)
has need to seek for an illusion now that dreams are	U 3 A 6 U(5)
certainty of peace. And look an instant, too, on what you	U 3 A 7 U(5)
need forgiveness. Forgiveness, then, is an illusion, but because of its	U 4 A 1 U(6)
makes God appear to be an enemy instead of what He	U 4 A 2 U(6)
And so they need an illusion of Help because they	U 4 A 3 U(6)
The world you see is an illusion of a world. God	U 5 A 1 U(7)
all things visible will have an end. U 5 A	U 5 A 1 U(7)
can last no longer than an instant. It is seen at	U 5 A 4 U(8)
disappear, for now there is an empty place made clean and	U 5 A 4 U(8)
mind, guilt and forgiveness for an instant lie together, side by	U 5 A 6 U(8)
with God. The man was an illusion, for he seemed to	U 6 A 2 U(10)
your Father to you in an eternal shining that will never	U 7 A 3 U(12)
when His Love is but an instant farther on the road	U 8 A 1 U(13)
of the Holies opens up an ancient door that leads beyond	U 8 A 1 U(13)
afraid. We only start again an ancient journey long ago begun	U 8 A 4 U(13)
in silence, and kneel down an instant in our gratitude to	U 8 A 5 U(13)
which had been stopped only an instant, though it seems to	U 8 A 5 U(13)
