at all. The ONE thing that happened was the Universal Miracle T 1 B 3c T(1)
the experience of intense love that you have felt. (Dont T 1 B 3c T(1)

It is the maximal service that one soul can render another T 1 B 18 T(5)-5-
as X or infinity minus that amount. This is meaningless mathematically T 1 B 18b T(5)-5-
The point of miracles is that they replace fire, thus making T 1 B 21b T(6)-6-

What it REALLY means is that if you are ashamed of T 1 B 22u T(9)-9-

However, it is perfectly clear that when a person can atone T 1 B 23e T(10)-10-
enough, it does not follow that a vacuum is filled with T 1 B 23f T(11)11
their Atonement value involves just that. Note that the word atone T 1 B 23f T(11)11

to restore everything TO you. (That is, to restore the awareness T 1 B 23g T(12)12

man. Atonement is the knowledge that the belief that angels can T 1 B 30j T(19)19
the knowledge that the belief that angels can fall is false T 1 B 30j T(19)19
is false. It is true that mind can create projections as T 1 B 30j T(19)19

of Death, the person with that name will not be found T 1 B 36j T(26)26

does this because he thinks that by minor areas of disorganization T 1 B 36l T(26)26

1 B 36n. Note that a name is a human T 1 B 36n T(27)27
name is a human symbol that stands for a person. Superstitions T 1 B 36n T(27)27
are very common for just that reason. That is also why T 1 B 36n T(27)27
common for just that reason. That is also why people sometimes T 1 B 36n T(27)27
revelations proper content was that those who change their mind T 1 B 36o T(27)27
of a belief in hate. That is why the Bible says T 1 B 36o T(27)27
There is no death, and that is why I demonstrated that T 1 B 36o T(27)27
that is why I demonstrated that death does not exist. Remember T 1 B 36o T(27)27
death does not exist. Remember that I came to FULFILL the T 1 B 36o T(27)27
Remember, I said before that because nature abhors a vacuum T 1 B 36p T(27)27
vacuum, it does NOT follow that the vacuum is filled with T 1 B 36p T(27)27

The important thing is that elsewhere in the Bible it T 1 B 36w T(28)28
IS what it means.) Note that one who represents also witnesses T 1 B 36w T(28)28
for. The quotation thus means that you represent or witness for T 1 B 36w T(28)28

put on its choice is that it CANNOT serve two masters T 1 B 37c T(29)29
miracle is thus a sign that the mind has elected to T 1 B 37h T(30)30
B 37j. I prompted that call from Jack (taxi man T 1 B 37j T(30)30
up, etc.) to show you that this is not necessary. Also T 1 B 37j T(30)30

It must be understood, however, that the underlying mechanism must be T 1 B 37p T(31)31
to sustain you. The illusion that shallow roots can be deepened T 1 B 37q T(32)32

of this) is the fact that the Nazis spelled their appalling T 1 B 37s T(32)32
The reason for this is that correlation which is the technique T 1 B 37u T(33)33
B 37w. Note, however, that both approaches leave out a T 1 B 37w T(33)33
over time. You will remember that Jack once told his class T 1 B 37x T(33)33
Jack once told his class that the more sophisticated statisticians are T 1 B 37x T(33)33
this, as he said, was that a reliable instrument DOES measure T 1 B 37x T(33)33
something. He also said, however, that validity is still the ultimate T 1 B 37x T(33)33
of this whole issue. Note that night you spent in the T 1 B 37y T(34)34
were making. You might recall that YOU wanted that design, and T 1 B 37y T(34)34
might recall that YOU wanted that design, and Jack opposed it T 1 B 37y T(34)34
of the real reasons why that evening was so exhilarating was T 1 B 37y T(34)34
(It is especially interesting that after the battle ended on T 1 B 37z T(34)34
submit (after a long interruption) that if a mind (Soul) is T 1 B 37aa T(35)35
a PROFOUND error to imagine that, because these fantasies are so T 1 B 37ab T(35)35
frequent (or occur so reliably), that this implies validity. Remember thatT 1 B 37ab T(35)35
that this implies validity. Remember that while validity implies reliability theT 1 B 37ab T(35)35

ALWAYS destructive (or depleting), in that they perceive another in an T 1 B 41v T(48)48

he should have said is that the shift from miracle-impulses to T 1 B 41w T(49)49
release was impossible. Note also that Freuds notion of sex T 1 B 41w T(49)49
relaxes only in the sense that it may induce physical sleep T 1 B 41x T(49)49
But she is blessed in that she sees service as a T 1 B 41ab T(50)50

faith, as for everything else that is true, entails the two T 1 C 1 T(55)55
two levels of error: 1. That truth CAN be denied and T 1 C 2 T(55)55
CAN be denied and 2. That absence of truth can be T 1 C 2 T(55)55
there is always a chance that as the size of the T 1 C 6 T(56)56
The truth is still that the attraction of God is T 1 C 8 T(56)56
to allay fear. The fact that they usually interfere with good T 1 C 10 T(57)57
tendency to maintain the illusion that only the physical is real T 1 C 12 T(58)58
it DOES entail a recognition that

This recognition ACCEPTS the fact that neither 1) nor 2) is T 1 C 14 T(59)59
It should be noted that 1) involves only the body T 1 C 17 T(59)59
It is interesting to note that even those who DID understand T 1 C 18 T(59)59
even those who DID understand that could nevertheless EXPRESS their understandingT 1 C 18 T(59)59
to speak in a way that NOBODY can understand. This strange T 1 C 18 T(60)60
It could also be said that the fear induced selfishness, or T 1 C 19 T(60)60
errors, including: a. The idea that knowledge will make the individual T 1 C 21 T(60)60
a possession-fallacy. b. The idea that knowledge will make the individual T 1 C 21 T(60)60
c. The idea that knowledge will make the individual T 1 C 21 T(61)61

he cant speak. Note that depression is a real risk T 1 C 23 T(61)61
to see. It is noteworthy that these words were said by T 2 A 1 T(62)62
is due to the fact that they are not first definitions T 2 A 2 T(62)62
chronological appearance. Nevertheless, the fact that each of them does appearT 2 A 2 T(62)62
a natural grand division. (Note that you originally wrote word instead T 2 A 2 T(62)62
will also be commented on that Lucifer literally projected himself from T 2 A 3 T(62)62
heaven. We also have observed that man can create an empty T 2 A 3 T(62)62
literal account, it is noteworthy that the pre-Separation state was essentiallyT 2 A 4 T(63) 63
created. We have also emphasized that man, insofar as the term T 2 A 4 T(63) 63
is utilized, it ALWAYS implies that some emptiness (or lack of T 2 A 5 T(63) 63
of everything) must exist, and that it is within mans T 2 A 5 T(63) 63
First, the assumption is implicit that what God has Created can T 2 A 5 T(64)64
of Man. Second, the concept that what is perfect can be T 2 A 5 T(64)64
is intruded. Third, the belief that man can distort the Creations T 2 A 5 T(64)64
arisen, and is tolerated. Fourth, that since man can create himself T 2 A 5 T(64)64
or projecting outward of God. That is why everything which He T 2 A 6 T(64)64
It should be noted that the opposite of pro is T 2 A 7 T(64)64
It should be noted also that rejection can be used as T 2 A 7 T(64)64
It is important to note that the term project outward necessarily T 2 A 8 T(64)64
term project outward necessarily implies that the real source of projectionT 2 A 8 T(64)64
and worthy of note, is that a deep sleep fell upon T 2 A 11 T(65)65
Eddy was correct in emphasizing that nowhere is there any reference T 2 A 11 T(65)65
God. It is again emphasized that he neither CAN nor HAS T 2 A 13 T(66)66
in a position to realize that his own errors never really T 2 A 13 T(66)66
likewise. It is quite apparent that this depends on the kind T 2 A 14 T(67)67
lies as fruit. The knowledge that illuminates rather than obscures is T 2 A 14 T(67)67
but also shows you clearly that you ARE free.
T 2 A 14 T(67)67
The first involved the fallacy that only the physical is real T 2 A 15 T(68)68
in a similar position, except that his hostility is more inward T 2 A 17 T(69)69
Aside: It should be noted that this type of paranoia is T 2 A 22 T(70)70
It should be noted, however, that the greater fear which is T 2 A 24 T(70)70
It is emphasized here that these differences have no effect T 2 A 25 T(71)71
in this course, i.e., that there is no order of T 2 A 25 T(71)71
contradiction inherent in any formulation that associates free will with imprisonmentT 2 A 30 T(72)72
issue. You insist on thinking that people CAN possess you, if T 2 A 31 T(72)72

and should deny any belief that error can hurt you. This T 2 B 4 T(73)73

mentally ill, who use it that way. But I also told T 2 B 6 T(74)74
But I also told you that you must recognize your total T 2 B 6 T(74)74
as bread. The reason why that had such a strong impact T 2 B 7 T(74)74
ALWAYS reflect only mercy, because that is what you have received T 2 B 8 T(74)74
what you have received, and that is what you should GIVE T 2 B 8 T(74)74

you do NOT realize is that the mind can miscreate only T 2 B 9 T(74)74
10. The three things that crossed your mind, which was T 2 B 10 T(75)75
past, PROVIDED you also remember that ANYTHING you suffer is because T 2 B 11 T(75)75
In this context, your remark that after the burning, I swore T 2 B 12 T(75)75
him. Note, by the way, that you did not put in T 2 B 12 T(75)75
in the not until afterwards. That is because your inherent correction- T 2 B 12 T(75)75
the moment. The result is that you are NOT DENYING ME T 2 B 12 T(75)75
Remember, we have already stated that denial is not a purely T 2 B 14 T(75)75
it results in positive miscreation. That is the way the mentally T 2 B 14 T(75)75
from her apt.) to make that remark to you, and it T 2 B 18 T(76)76
and it is a pity that you heard only the last T 2 B 18 T(76)76
But you can still use that. His remark ended with: Every T 2 B 18 T(76)76
21. The first is that he saw only how the T 2 B 21 T(77)77
the major areas of withholding that both you and B. are T 2 B 28 T(77)77
direction you choose, but note that the concept itself implies flight T 2 B 29 T(77)77
understood from these notes is that you can defend truth as T 2 B 34 T(78)78
therefore concentrated on showing you that the means ARE available wheneverT 2 B 38 T(78)78
which cannot be used destructively. That is because, while everyone must T 2 B 41 T(80) 80
was only after the Separation that the defense of Atonement, and T 2 B 42 T(80) 80
planned. It became increasingly apparent that all of the defenses which T 2 B 42 T(80) 80
him. It was therefore decided that he needed a defense which T 2 B 42 T(80) 80
defense which was so splendid that he could not misuse it T 2 B 42 T(80) 80
This increase serves (HS notes that this was written served) to T 2 B 46 T(81) 81
or another. They cannot believe that a defense which CANNOT attack T 2 B 49 T(81) 81
the only series this far that were written very slowly. When T 2 B 51 T(82) 82
depressed, temporarily under the impression that I was abandoned. I tried T 2 B 52 T(82) 82
got a little confusing after that. First, the idea of Bride T 2 B 53 T(82) 82
into panic before, but at that time, it was stated in T 2 B 53 T(82) 82
them. I ALMOST thought briefly that he turned into a devil T 2 B 54 T(83) 83
I thought it SO silly, that there is no point in T 2 B 54 T(83) 83
am writing this, I remember that thing in the book about T 2 B 55 T(83) 83
and also the concomitant awareness that it WAS misperception. This showed T 2 B 56 T(83) 83
is shown by my recognition that it cant REALLY be T 2 B 57 T(83) 83
it cant REALLY be that way, which became possible as T 2 B 57 T(83) 83
been too passively interpreted. Note that B. Did NOT ask MY T 2 B 59 T(84) 83a
B 60. You know that when defenses are disrupted there T 2 B 60 T(85) 84
process is different only in that defenses are not being disrupted T 2 B 60 T(85) 84
as EXTERNAL thus far, and that is why your EXPERIENCE of T 2 B 62 T(85) 84
pis-pot. You DID notice, however, that the INSIDE was gold, while T 2 B 62 T(85) 84
a recognition of the fact that the INNER part is more T 2 B 62 T(85) 84
rather similar in purpose, except that they stem more from a T 2 B 63 T(85) 84
in both is the belief that the body can be used T 2 B 63 T(86)85
on. It occurred to her that the Atonement was the cure T 2 B 64 T(86)85
it. It DOES recognize, however, that the concept of addition or T 2 B 65 T(86)85
next step is to realize that a Temple is not a T 2 B 65 T(86)85
idea carefully, you will realize that this is not true. Everything T 2 B 68 T(87)86
begins to recognize, however dimly, that there MUST be a better T 2 B 69 T(87)86
which looks within, recognizes immediately that the altar has been defiledT 2 B 70 T(87)86
then realizes, with increasing certitude, that delay is only a way T 2 B 70 T(87)86

heal others. The reason is that their healing merely witnesses or T 2 C 3 T(89)88
level confusion in the sense that it always entails the misbelief T 2 C 4 T(89)88
it always entails the misbelief that what is amiss in one T 2 C 4 T(89)88
cannot create, and the belief that it CAN, a fundamental error T 2 C 5 T(89)88
magic rested on the belief that there is a creative ability T 2 C 6 T(89)88
it can be misbelieved either that the mind can miscreate IN T 2 C 6 T(89)88
miscreate IN the body, or that the body can miscreate in T 2 C 6 T(89)88
90) 89 that the mind, which is the T 2 C 6 T(90)89
of the learner. The most that a faulty use of a T 2 C 7 T(90)89
word unworthy here implies simply that it is not necessary to T 2 C 8 T(90)89
un-mindful. There is little doubt that the mind can miscreate. If T 2 C 8 T(90)89
of the error to believe that the body created its own T 2 C 9 T(90)89
It does not follow, however, that the application of these very T 2 C 9 T(90)89
is because the last thing that can help the non-Right-Minded (or T 2 C 9 T(91)90
perception has induced the belief that miracles are frightening. T T 2 C 9 T(91)90
not the giver. This means that a miracle, to attain its T 2 C 10 T(91)90
not follow by any means that this is the highest level T 2 C 10 T(91)90
capable. But it DOES mean that it is the highest level T 2 C 10 T(91)90
this world, it is essential that they understand fully the fear T 2 C 11 T(91)90
may unwittingly foster the misbelief that release is imprisonment, which isT 2 C 11 T(91)90
attempted protection device (or misdefense) that harm can be limited to T 2 C 11 T(91)90
fear (which this one counteracts) that the mind can hurt itself T 2 C 11 T(91)90
mind do not really exist. That recognition is a far better T 2 C 11 T(91)90
12. It is essential that the remembrance of the fact T 2 C 12 T(91)90
the remembrance of the fact that ONLY mind can create at T 2 C 12 T(91)90
in this is the corollary that correction belongs at the thought T 2 C 12 T(91)90
It should be obvious, then, that correcting the creator (or inducing T 2 C 12 T(92)91
13. We said before that magic is essentially mindless, or T 2 C 13 T(92)91
a more benign form, in that they do not entail the T 2 C 13 T(92)91
enter when a mind believes that it can possess another. Since T 2 C 13 T(92)91
applying the Atonement. This means that his mind is dulled by T 2 C 13 T(92)91
it, because the very fact that they are afraid HAS made T 2 C 14 T(92)91
said in a previous section that the miracle is an expression T 2 C 15 T(92)91
means Right-Mindedness in the sense that we are now using it T 2 C 15 T(92)91
Mind. But it is essential that the miracle worker be in T 2 C 15 T(93)92
underlying unwillingness to co-operate. Note that by inserting the carbon backwardsT 2 C 16 T(93)92
including Me. We have established that for all corrective processes, the T 2 C 16 T(93)92
the first step is know that this is fear. Unless fear T 2 C 16 T(93)92
in the position to recognize that those who need to be T 2 C 17 T(93)92
is because you were aware that your Right-Mindedness IS healing. T 2 C 17 T(93)92
accept Atonement himself. This means that he knows that mind is T 2 C 17 T(94)93
This means that he knows that mind is the only creative T 2 C 17 T(94)93
the only creative level, and that its errors ARE healed by T 2 C 17 T(94)93
to others is the truth that THEIR MINDS are really similarly T 2 C 17 T(94)93
are really similarly constructive, and that their own miscreations cannot hurtT 2 C 17 T(94)93
learner. It should be re-emphasized that the body does not learn T 2 C 17 T(94)93
TO the body by recognizing that density is the opposite of T 2 C 18 T(94)93
first place. We said before that the spiritual eye cannot see T 2 C 19 T(94)93
Atonement. There is no doubt that the spiritual eye does produce T 2 C 19 T(94)93
what it sees. The thing that man forgets is that the T 2 C 19 T(94)93
thing that man forgets is that the discomfort

T 2 C 19 T(94)93
perceives can induce fear. Everything that results from accurate spiritual awarenessT 2 C 19 T(95)94
to accept the unequivocal fact that healing is necessary. The fear T 2 C 20 T(95)94
beyond any form of charity that man can conceive of as T 2 C 21 T(95)94
him is both an acknowledgment that he IS weak, and a T 2 C 21 T(95)94
IS weak, and a recognition that he COULD BE stronger. The T 2 C 21 T(95)94
time, making it quite apparent that charity lies within the framework T 2 C 21 T(95)94
said before, twice in fact, that only Revelation transcends time. The T 2 C 22 T(96) 95
It must be understood, however, that whenever a man offers a T 2 C 22 T(96) 95
You and B. both believe that being afraid is involuntary. But T 2 D 1 T(97)96
have told you many times that only CONSTRUCTIVE acts should be T 2 D 1 T(97)96
should be involuntary. We said that Christ-control can take over everythingT 2 D 1 T(97)96
Christ-control can take over everything that DOESNT matter, and Christ-guidanceT 2 D 1 T(97)96
and Christ-guidance can direct everything that DOES, if you so will T 2 D 1 T(97)96
will, because its presence shows that you have raised the UNIMPORTANT T 2 D 2 T(97)96
D 3. The reason that I cannot CONTROL fear for T 2 D 3 T(97)96
CONTROL fear for you is that you are attempting to raise T 2 D 3 T(97)96
would hardly advance the excuse that you could not help it T 2 D 4 T(97)96
5. You both believe that you ARE responsible for what T 2 D 5 T(97)96
you THINK. The truth is that you ARE responsible for what T 2 D 5 T(97)96
is only at this level that you CAN exercise choice. What T 2 D 5 T(97)96
it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind T 2 D 6 T(97)96
It is pointless to believe that controlling the outcome of mis-Thought T 2 D 6 T(97)96
from fear, you are implying that it isnt. You should T 2 D 8 T(98)97
Mine. If you are sure that it IS, there will BE T 2 D 9 T(98)97
others) except for the fact that the part of the will T 2 D 10 T(98)97
the part of the will that wants something ELSE is outraged T 2 D 10 T(98)97
about it, you will realize that in both cases the will T 2 D 11 T(99)98
2 D 12. Remember that whenever there is fear, it T 2 D 12 T(99)98
D 14. Tell B. that although he keeps telling you T 2 D 14 T(99)98
although he keeps telling you that God will never ask you T 2 D 14 T(99)98
process. Try saying to yourself that you MUST have willed not T 2 E 1 T(99)98
love somehow or somewhere, or that fear which arises from behavior-will T 2 E 1 T(99)98
T(4). We have emphasized that the miracle, or the EXPRESSION T 2 E 3 T(100)99
It is obvious, then, that when you are afraid you T 2 E 4 T(100)99
HS - - and remember that last time in a very T 2 E 6 T(101)100
What it really shows is that YOU are not very receptive T 2 E 6 T(101)100
The reason it came out that way, is because you are T 2 E 6 T(101)100
a thought, you are implying that if you do not think T 2 E 8 T(102)101
an idle thought, and mean that the thought has no effect T 2 E 9 T(102)101
some actions as thoughtless, implying that if the person HAD thought T 2 E 9 T(102)101
It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into T 2 E 10 T(102)101
belief combine into a power-surge that can literally move mountains. T 2 E 10 T(102)101
It appears at first glance that to believe such power about T 2 E 11 T(102)101
yourself is merely arrogant, but that is not the real reason T 2 E 11 T(102)101
People prefer to believe that their thoughts cannot exert real T 2 E 12 T(102)101
the patient by persuading him that he can think whatever he T 2 E 12 T(102)101
The other possibility is that he depreciates the power of T 2 E 14 T(103)102
thinking impotent. If you believe that what you think is ineffectual T 2 E 14 T(103)102
15. The truth is that there ARE no idle thoughts T 2 E 15 T(103)102
it, is because they KNOW that thought can hurt them. Their T 2 E 15 T(103)102
I told you last time that you cannot ask ME to T 2 E 16 T(103)102
more useful to remind you that you do not guard your T 2 E 17 T(104)103
may feel at this point that it would take a miracle T 2 E 17 T(104)103
CAN be TRAINED to think that way. T 2 E T 2 E 17 T(104)103
miracle-workers HAVE to be trained that way. I have to be T 2 E 18 T(104)103
count on them. This means that I cannot allow them to T 2 E 18 T(104)103
it induce the healthy respect that every miracle-worker must have for T 2 E 18 T(104)103
other. Remember, we said before that when electing one person, you T 2 E 19 T(104)103
time. You persist in believing that when you do not consciously T 2 E 21 T(105)104
made one common error, in that they attempted to uncover unconscious T 2 E 25 T(106)105
this level pre-conscious, and emphasizing that there is a fairly easy T 2 E 26 T(106)105
error lay in his insistence that this level is necessary at T 2 E 26 T(106)105
will was particularly good, except that he preferred to ally it T 2 E 27 T(106)105
was also too limited, in that it did not refer to T 2 E 27 T(106)105
This led him to believe that his own mind-creation could stand T 2 E 28 T(107)106
the birth-trauma in a way that made it inevitable for him T 2 E 29 T(107)106
time DOES determine behavior AT that time. If miscreation did NOT T 2 E 32 T(108)107
2 E 33. Everything that man creates has energy because T 2 E 33 T(108)107
power. It DOES, however, GUARANTEE that the power will be misused T 2 E 33 T(108)107
the illogical position of assuming that the split which their therapies T 2 E 35 T(109)108
until it is fully recognized that miscreation is NOT real, and T 2 E 37 T(109)108
realization of the basic fact that, although man has miscreated in T 2 E 37 T(109)108
the solution. Both the idea that both kinds MUST exist, and T 2 E 38 T(109)108
MUST exist, and the belief that ONE kind is amenable for T 2 E 38 T(109)108
arises out of the fact that you DID change the order T 2 E 38 T(110)109
was so afraid of religion that the only way he could T 2 E 40 T(110)109
whole development of his theories that the superego never allied itself T 2 E 41 T(110)109
level of the unconscious, so that the latter became increasingly obscured T 2 E 42 T(111)110
is NOT obliterated in miscreation. That is why it is always T 2 E 44 T(111)110
magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not create himself T 2 E 44 T(111)110
We have already said that the basic conflict is one T 2 E 46 T(112)111
between love and fear, and that the proper organization of the T 2 E 46 T(112)111
It has already been said that man CANNOT control fear, because T 2 E 47 T(112)111
fear by the simple assumption that it need be mastered at T 2 E 47 T(112)111
Since we have frequently emphasized that correction must be applied withinT 2 E 48 T(112)111
be applied within the level that error occurs, it should be T 2 E 48 T(112)111
occurs, it should be clear that the miracle MUST be illogical T 2 E 48 T(112)111
is a way of denying that it ever occurred. Like all T 2 E 50 T(113)112
BUT ONLY as an indication that IMMEDIATE correction is mandatory. This T 2 E 50 T(113)112
It is worth repeating that ultimately there is no compromise T 2 E 51 T(113)112
God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten T 2 E 52 T(113)112
his only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth on Him shall T 2 E 52 T(113)112
God so loved the world that he gave it TO His T 2 E 52 T(113)112
Son. It should be noted that God HAS begotten only ONE T 2 E 52 T(113)112
If you believe that all of the Souls that T 2 E 52 T(114) 113
that all of the Souls that God created ARE His Sons T 2 E 52 T(114) 113
and if you also believe that the Sonship is One, then T 2 E 52 T(114) 113
do not find the concept that the whole is greater than T 2 E 52 T(114) 113
a recognition of the fact that as long as one part T 2 E 53 T(114) 113
However, it is quite apparent that so to elect IS to T 2 E 54 T(114) 113
correct the fundamental human error that fear can be mastered. The T 2 E 55 T(115)114
be mastered. The Correction was that ONLY love can be mastered T 2 E 55 T(115)114
mastered. When I told you that you were ready for Revelation T 2 E 55 T(115)114
Revelation, I did not mean that you had in any way T 2 E 55 T(115)114
to your readiness by insisting that I would not have said T 2 E 55 T(115)114
at least is an indication that you believe this is possible T 2 E 55 T(115)114
be misunderstood as a statement that an enormous amount of time T 2 E 56 T(115)114
I would again remind you that time and space are under T 2 E 56 T(115)114
magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not create himself T 2 E 57 T(116)115
58. It also follows that whatever he creates is real T 2 E 58 T(117)116
am aware of the fact that you would much rather continue T 2 E 58 T(117)116
speed-up. We have frequently noted that the miracle is a device T 2 F 1 T(117)116
immeasurable. But it is essential that these individuals free themselves fromT 2 F 1 T(117)116
of Right-evaluation. It simply means that finally all men must come T 2 F 3 T(118)117
he had created, and knew that it WAS good. At this T 2 F 3 T(118)117
objectively, it is quite apparent that it is really the doorway T 2 F 4 T(118)117
his own creation. When everything that he retains is lovable, there T 2 F 5 T(119)118
but neither of you realizes that many of the problems you T 3 A 2 T(120) 119
look it up. He believes that, although he reads them over T 3 A 2 T(120) 119
4. You vaguely know that the course is intended for T 3 A 4 T(120) 119
preparation. I can only say that you are not prepared. T 3 A 4 T(120) 119
amused when you reminded B. that he, too, was being prepared T 3 A 5 T(120) 119
7. It is necessary that this appropriate use of the T 3 A 7 T(120) 119
of mental retardation. Please remember that its constructive use, described aboveT 3 A 10 T(121)120
do make. You will remember that we said once before that T 3 A 11 T(121)120
that we said once before that awe is inappropriate in connection T 3 A 11 T(121)120
But it WAS emphasized that awe IS a proper reaction T 3 A 11 T(122)121
directly. I have repeatedly emphasized that awe is not appropriate in T 3 A 12 T(122)121
is from notes) Tell B. that the reason why he was T 3 A 16 T(123)122
is probably no human error that is

one of the few times that he had to wait for T 3 A 18 T(124)123
cab which did come for that lady, but he was misguided T 3 A 18 T(124)123
you. It was quite apparent that you were extremely cold, and T 3 A 18 T(124)123
also very late. The idea that giving her the cab would T 3 A 18 T(124)123
situation. It was not necessary that anyone wait at all. T 3 A 18 T(124)123
efficiency, and the only thing that saved you then was that T 3 A 21 T(125)124
that saved you then was that you DID remember, in the T 3 A 21 T(125)124
the notes, instead of assuming that you were necessarily to arrange T 3 A 21 T(125)124
had already become so misguided that it did not occur to T 3 A 21 T(125)124
did not occur to him that his own will, (which he T 3 A 21 T(125)124
a love reaction. (HS notes that she was going to write T 3 A 22 T(125)124
discourteous when he told you that HE wanted to keep the T 3 A 24 T(125)124
actual quote, he will see that it REALLY means useful for T 3 A 24 T(125)124
for HIM. YOU had interpreted that way, and frankly this was T 3 A 24 T(125)124
It should, be noted, however, that the result was not only T 3 A 24 T(126)125
self-satisfied, I would remind you that you do it all the T 3 A 24 T(126)125
inappropriately toward YOU, by saying that he wanted to be SURE T 3 A 25 T(126)125
he wanted to be SURE that the original was not lost T 3 A 25 T(126)125
or dirty. It is noticeable that, having already decided what HE T 3 A 25 T(126)125
it never occurred to him that it IS possible that HE T 3 A 25 T(126)125
him that it IS possible that HE might lose or dirty T 3 A 25 T(126)125
is a form of arrogance that he would be much happier T 3 A 25 T(126)125
without. He should also note that this would probably not have T 3 A 25 T(126)125
Be SURE to tell him that this pun is to reassure T 3 A 25 T(126)125
pun is to reassure him that I am not angry. If T 3 A 25 T(126)125
VERY good. The reason is that HE put me in a T 3 A 25 T(126)125
I want him to know that I am VERY well aware T 3 A 26 T(126)125
respect. It seems a shame that he should allow himself even T 3 A 26 T(126)125
I suggest to YOU that we pray for him, and T 3 A 27 T(126)125
for you. But this means that you do not undertake to T 3 A 27 T(126)125
difficult for me to solve that a space problem, (see comments T 3 A 27 T(126)125
does this. You should know that all Gods children are T 3 A 28 T(127)126
not even have told Anne that you would call. Then you T 3 A 29 T(127)126
ANNE back. It is true that it was better that he T 3 A 29 T(127)126
true that it was better that he came, but this has T 3 A 29 T(127)126

he is willing to realize that there is nothing he needs T 3 A 31 T(127)126
in front of Jonathan. (Note that you wrote his name as T 3 A 34 T(128)127
you call him, but NOTE that you FELT FREE at that T 3 A 34 T(128)127
that you FELT FREE at that time to CHOOSE the name T 3 A 34 T(128)127
there, just leave a message that it is not important. This T 3 A 35 T(128)127
lets consider all the time that we had to waste today T 3 A 36 T(128)127
today. AND all the notes that could have been devoted to T 3 A 36 T(128)127
check this against the prayer that B. very kindly typed for T 3 A 37 T(129)128
for you on the card. That WAS a gracious offering on T 3 A 37 T(129)128
due to the obvious fact that HS was still clearly not T 3 A 38 T(129)128
mind. However, B later suggested that correct or correct for should T 3 A 38 T(129)128
reason why it was essential that HE make this correction was T 3 A 38 T(129)128
HE make this correction was that the word replace was his T 3 A 38 T(129)128
however, both courteous and necessary that he change this himself, both T 3 A 38 T(129)128
CAN create in a way that has any real effect. Pragmatically T 3 B 4 T(130)129
miracle-workers. It should be noted that the two statements are not T 3 B 7 T(131)130
this be? Is it likely that God Himself would be capable T 3 C 4 T(132)131
result, justifying the terrible misperception that God Himself persecuted His ownT 3 C 5 T(133)132
a child. Can you believe that the Father REALLY thinks this T 3 C 6 T(133)132
It is so essential that all such thinking be dispelled T 3 C 7 T(133)132
all such thinking be dispelled that we must be VERY sure T 3 C 7 T(133)132
we must be VERY sure that NOTHING of this kind remains T 3 C 7 T(133)132
Divine mind does not create that way. HE does not hold T 3 C 8 T(133)132
HIMSELF. Is it likely, then, that He would hold against any T 3 C 8 T(133)132
against any man the evil that ANOTHER did?

T 3 C 8 T(133)132
9. Be very sure that you recognize how impossible this T 3 C 9 T(134)133
related fallacies, including the misbelief that God rejected man and forcedT 3 C 9 T(134)133
the Garden of Eden, or that I am misdirecting you. I T 3 C 9 T(134)133
however, PERFECTLY aware of EVERYTHING, that is true. T 3 T 3 C 10 T(134)133
11. The Resurrection demonstrated that NOTHING can destroy truth. Good T 3 C 11 T(134)133
It is the final demonstration that all of the other lessons T 3 C 11 T(134)133
of Gods own injunction that man should be merciful even T 3 C 15 T(136)135
for many Christians to realize that this commandment (or assignment) also T 3 C 16 T(136)135
together refers to the fact that strength and innocence are NOT T 3 C 18 T(136)135
world only in the sense that the state of innocence or T 3 C 22 T(137)136
as he Is, he knows that the Atonement, NOT sacrifice, is T 3 C 22 T(137)136
of the innocent is TRUTH. That is why their altars are T 3 C 22 T(137)136
the enormous waste of time that is involved.) Cayces notes T 3 C 24 T(137)136
25. It is obvious that Cayce himself was not able T 3 C 25 T(137)136
It WAS obvious to him that the mind cannot be so T 3 C 26 T(139)138
was equally apparent to him that the Soul is merely unaffected T 3 C 26 T(139)138
the body. It is noteworthy that in all these readings, a T 3 C 27 T(139)138
usually concluded with the caution that the body cannot be healed T 3 C 27 T(139)138
way underestimated by the realization that he worked under very great T 3 C 28 T(139)138
which is ALWAYS a sign that something is wrong. One of T 3 C 28 T(139)138
inherent in trance states is that it is very difficult to T 3 C 28 T(139)138
is noticeable throughout his notes that he frequently engaged in a T 3 C 29 T(140)139
frequently engaged in a fallacy that we have already noted in T 3 C 29 T(140)139
three. However, you will remember that it is this one which T 3 C 29 T(140)139
s accuracy was so great that, even when he did this T 3 C 29 T(140)139
But it does not follow that this was a genuinely constructive T 3 C 29 T(140)139
It should also be noted that, when Cayce attempted to see T 3 C 30 T(140)139
clearly point to the fact that Cayce did not apply the T 3 C 32 T(141)140
builder, he did not realize that it is only what it T 3 C 34 T(142)141
what it is building NOW that really creates the future. The T 3 C 34 T(142)141
Hugh Lynn is perfectly aware that this must be done eventually T 3 C 37 T(143)142
also aware of the fact that he is unable to do T 3 C 37 T(143)142
it. There is too much that IS invalid. When the time T 3 C 37 T(143)142
invalid. When the time comes that this can be corrected to T 3 C 37 T(143)142
to Cayce, I remind you that no effort is wasted, and T 3 C 37 T(143)142
witch doctors. I am sorry that Cayce himself could not rid T 3 C 38 T(143)142
my own, already mentioned elsewhere, that if my followers eat any T 3 C 39 T(143)142
because he could not see that, as a Son of God T 3 C 39 T(143)142
We have repeatedly stated that the basic concepts referred to T 3 D 1 T(144)143
false. It is absolutely essential that you understand completely that behaviorT 3 D 1 T(144)143
essential that you understand completely that behavior is erratic until a T 3 D 1 T(144)143
connection most of the time. That is why those who live T 3 D 2 T(144)143
by the same erratic nature that holds for other two-edged defenses T 3 D 3 T(144)143
is universal in its application that it becomes wisdom. T T 3 D 3 T(144)143
Innocent (or true) perception means that you NEVER misperceive, and ALWAYS T 3 D 4 T(144)143
truly. More simply, this means that you never see what does T 3 D 4 T(144)143
are attesting to your belief that he is not in his T 3 D 4 T(144)143
We have said many times that ONLY what God creates, or T 3 D 4 T(145)144
existence. This, then, is all that the innocent can see. They T 3 D 4 T(145)144
the invalid. I would suggest that you voluntarily give up all T 3 D 5 T(145)144
3 D 6. Remember that we said that truth overcomes T 3 D 6 T(145)144
Remember that we said that truth overcomes ALL error. This T 3 D 6 T(145)144
overcomes ALL error. This means that if you perceive truly, you T 3 D 6 T(145)144
is not symbolic. This means that it is not open to T 3 D 7 T(145)144
This means that it is unequivocal. It also T 3 D 7 T(146)145
before: But this we know, that when He shall appear (or T 3 D 7 T(146)145
He is. And every man that hath this hope in him T 3 D 7 T(146)145
man DOES have the hope that he can see correctly, because T 3 D 7 T(146)145
time there is anything unlovable that crosses ones mind (re T 3 E 1 T(147)146
etc.) you should immediately recognize that you do not want to T 3 E 1 T(147)146
and cognition. You will note that we have said very little T 3 E 2 T(147)146
be certain. Uncertainty merely means that you DONt know. Knowledge T 3 E 3 T(147)146
certainty because all perception varies. That is why it is NOT T 3 E 3 T(147)146
ultimately stem from the fact that you do not recognize, or T 3 E 4 T(147)146
means know again. This means that you knew before. (Note that T 3 E 4 T(147)146
that you knew before. (Note that it does not mean SAW T 3 E 4 T(147)146
to counteract an underlying fear that the future will be WORSE T 3 E 6 T(148)147
than a revelation. The fact that perception is involved at all T 3 E 7 T(148)147
from the realm of knowledge. That is why these visions do T 3 E 7 T(148)147
not until you RECOGNIZE him that you KNOW him. Only then T 3 E 8 T(149)148
God, you are clearly implying that you do NOT know him T 3 E 9 T(149)148
Your perception is so variable that you swing from sudden but T 3 E 10 T(149)148
might be glad to learn that you are much better off T 3 E 11 T(149)148
right word here) that the misperceptions of the other T 3 E 11 T(150)149
what to do about it that B. reacts to yours with T 3 E 11 T(150)149
12. I repeat again that if you ATTACK error, you T 3 E 12 T(150)149
stranger by misperceiving him, so that you CANNOT know him. It T 3 E 12 T(150)149
made him into a stranger that you are afraid of him T 3 E 12 T(150)149
him. PERCEIVE him correctly, so that your Soul can KNOW him T 3 E 12 T(150)149
another, but they rarely maintain that they do not KNOW each T 3 E 15 T(151)150
possible only if they maintain that they are NOT really brothers T 3 E 15 T(151)150
Freud realized this perfectly, and that is why he conceived as T 3 F 2 T(152)151
Consciousness was the first split that man introduced into himself. He T 3 F 4 T(152)151
was right indeed in insisting that the ego is NOT the T 3 F 5 T(153)152
is NOT the self, and that the self should be regarded T 3 F 5 T(153)152
a term we now understand) that the Achievement was Gods T 3 F 5 T(153)152
himself as he IS, because that is all he can be T 3 F 5 T(153)152
escape fear until he KNOWS that he DID not and CAN T 3 F 8 T(153)152
but he failed to recognize that a bad thing cannot exist T 3 F 14 T(155)154
he WAS right in maintaining that the parts of the psyche T 3 F 15 T(155)154
it is FROM the Soul that it derives its whole power T 3 F 16 T(155)154
by establishing the clear fact that it ISNT THERE. The T 3 F 18 T(156)155
have already emphasized the fact that knowing does not DO anything T 3 F 18 T(156)155
own recognition of the fact that it can always be REMEMBERED T 3 F 19 T(156)155
as much as a re-membering. (That is largely for B. I T 3 F 19 T(156)155
he would decide to use that talent of his constructively. He T 3 F 19 T(156)155
in surety, and therefore KNOW that no miscreation exists. Truth cannot T 3 F 21 T(157)156
and its knowledge. Tell B. that when he refused to misperceive T 3 F 21 T(157)156
by uniting MY will with that of my Creator, which naturally T 3 F 21 T(157)156
3 F 24. (Note that the term insight, though referring T 3 F 24 T(158)157
with your perceptions at all. That is why it can only T 3 F 24 T(158)157
1. We said before that the abilities which man possesses T 3 G 1 T(159)158
then. You will also remember that I made it very clear T 3 G 1 T(159)158
I made it very clear that the Resurrection was the return T 3 G 1 T(159)158
second, out of a something that already exists. Anything that is T 3 G 2 T(159)158
something that already exists. Anything that is made is made for T 3 G 2 T(159)158
anything, you are tacitly implying that you believe in the Separation T 3 G 2 T(159)158
miracles, is again the fallacy that is the root cause of T 3 G 3 T(159)158
knowing. However, we also noted that prayer is the medium of T 3 G 3 T(159)158
knowledge, not of accurate perception. That is why unless perception has T 3 G 3 T(159)158
you create is so profound that it has literally become impossible T 3 G 4 T(160)159
stable. It is quite evident that human beings are not. Nevertheless T 3 G 4 T(160)159
G 5. The problem that is bothering you most is T 3 G 5 T(160)159
what he is. This implies that the answer is not only T 3 G 5 T(160)159
of perception, but it implies that there is nothing to KNOW T 3 G 5 T(160)159
of this course, we said that YOU are a miracle. Therefore T 3 G 6 T(160)159
basis, it is so unstable that it doesnt mean anything T 3 G 6 T(160)159
ingenuity. It is noteworthy, however, that this ingenuity has almost totallyT 3 G 7 T(160)159
set you free, we mean that all this kind of thinking T 3 G 8 T(160)159
a waste of time, but that you are free of the T 3 G 8 T(160)159
G 9. Note again that the functions of the Soul T 3 G 9 T(162)161
nobody has all of it. That is, of course, why the T 3 G 9 T(162)161
inheres in this statement, DEMONSTRATE that abilities are not functions ofT 3 G 9 T(162)161
for something. When we said that prayer is the medium of T 3 G 10 T(162)161
of miracles, we also said that the only meaningful prayer is T 3 G 10 T(162)161
nothing more than a request that we may be able to T 3 G 10 T(162)161
But he lost the knowledge that he himself is a miracle T 3 G 11 T(162)161
of the Soul. The fact that each Soul has this power T 3 G 15 T(163)162
power completely is a fact that is entirely alien to human T 3 G 15 T(163)162
want to give up everything that is NOT true. The reason T 3 G 24 T(165)164
the negative emphasis here is that therapy implies something HAS gone T 3 G 24 T(165)164
own. All of the points that were given for miracles apply T 3 G 25 T(165)164
teacher.) It does not follow that he is the better knower T 3 G 26 T(165)164
is also the only role that I would ever contribute myself T 3 G 26 T(165)164
of viciousness. We said before that those who are afraid are T 3 G 27 T(166)165
all. There is little doubt that you can explain your present T 3 G 27 T(166)165
the particular kind of newspapers that constituted their own reading matterT 3 G 28 T(166)165
acute problem OF HIS OWN that would make him so eager T 3 G 29 T(166)165
it, it is quite apparent that B. MUST have been willing T 3 G 30 T(167)166
be destroyed. The many times that he has commented on this T 3 G 30 T(167)166
this event alone would suggest that the extreme importance of this T 3 G 30 T(167)166
this connection. We said before that the purpose of the Resurrection T 3 G 31 T(167)166
the Resurrection was to demonstrate that no amount of misperception has T 3 G 31 T(167)166
misperceive, by establishing beyond doubt that they have NOT hurt anyone T 3 G 31 T(167)166
he is willing to demonstrate that his parents have NOT hurt T 3 G 31 T(167)166
therapy is the same as that of knowledge. No-one can survive T 3 G 32 T(167)166
wholly benign. It is essential that he KNOW this about himself T 3 G 33 T(168)167
yours. It is still true that you believe they DID something T 3 G 34 T(168)167
your friends. You still think that you MUST respond to their T 3 G 34 T(168)167
DUTY to establish beyond doubt that you are totally unwilling to T 3 G 36 T(169)168
for. It is NOT true that the difference between pupil and T 3 G 36 T(169)168
problem ONLY if they believe that their image is influenced BY T 3 G 38 T(170)169
to follow me. This means that, to be effective teachers, they T 3 G 41 T(171)170
is hardly necessary to say that teaching is a process whose T 3 G 42 T(171)170
fear. This is necessary so that knowledge can happen. The role T 3 G 42 T(171)170
miracles. Any teacher who believes that teaching is fearful CANNOT learn T 3 G 42 T(171)170
was quite right in maintaining that this course is a prerequisite T 3 G 43 T(171)170
really saying much more than that. The purpose of this course T 3 G 43 T(171)170
of ANY legitimate course. All that is required of you as T 3 G 43 T(171)170
44. Whenever anyone decides that he can function only in T 3 G 44 T(172)171
B. is under the misbelief that he is coping with the T 3 G 44 T(172)171
s self, because it implies that you perceive yourself as so T 3 G 44 T(172)171
perceive yourself as so unworthy that deception is more fitting for T 3 G 44 T(172)171
not. This does not mean that you can DO everything, but T 3 G 44 T(172)171
everything, but it DOES mean that you are either totally miracle-minded T 3 G 44 T(172)171
compromise whatever. When B. says that he cannot teach, he is T 3 G 44 T(172)171
is making the same mistake that we spoke of before, when T 3 G 44 T(172)171
everything, except himself. He insisted that his own existence was not T 3 G 45 T(173)172
I am. It is noteworthy that he arrived at accepting the T 3 G 45 T(173)172
46. We mentioned before that B. is not too sure T 3 G 46 T(173)172
too sure of this, and that is why we suggested that T 3 G 46 T(173)172
that is why we suggested that he concentrate on Lord, here T 3 G 46 T(173)172
in the prison of believing that this is up to you T 3 G 46 T(173)172
symbolic only in the sense that everybody is much better off T 3 H 1 T(174)C 1
the Bible says Judge not that ye be not judged it T 3 H 1 T(174)C 1
not judged it merely means that if you judge the reality T 3 H 1 T(174)C 1
selectivity. Evaluation was said at that time to be its obvious T 3 H 1 T(174)C 1
fact, it was so relevant that he dropped it as officially T 3 H 2 T(174)C 1
which human perception suffers is that what it perceives and judges T 3 H 3 T(174)C 1
true, unless man also believes that what his judgment vetoes does T 3 H 3 T(174)C 1
because it IMPLIES the belief that reality is yours to choose T 3 H 3 T(175)C 2
tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourselves and T 3 H 4 T(175)C 2
brothers ARE, you will realize that judging them in any way T 3 H 4 T(175)C 2
from a totally fallacious belief that you are under the coercion T 3 H 4 T(175)C 2
and this is the process that enables recognition to REPLACE perception T 3 H 5 T(175)C 2
refused to accept. He believes that because he has refused to T 3 H 5 T(175)C 2
to be happier dreams. Nothing that you have refused to accept T 3 H 5 T(175)C 2
awareness. It does NOT follow that it is dangerous. But it T 3 H 5 T(175)C 2
dangerous. But it DOES follow that you have made it dangerous T 3 H 5 T(175)C 2
It is a curious thing that any ability which is so T 3 H 7 T(176)C 3
with considerable fear and believe that judgment will someday be used T 3 H 8 T(176)C 3
and resents his own projection that you share his delusion in T 3 H 9 T(176)C 3
but ONLY because He knows that it makes them unhappy. Souls T 3 H 10 T(177)C 4
their true Authorship, men believe that their creation was anonymous. ThisT 3 H 10 T(177)C 4
meaningful to consider the possibility that they must have created themselvesT 3 H 10 T(177)C 4
in the minds of man that some people have gone so T 3 H 11 T(177)C 4
more tenable than the view that they created themselves. At least T 3 H 11 T(177)C 4
desire to reject can KNOW that their own rejection is impossible T 3 H 12 T(177)C 4
something, this does not mean that the something has gone. It T 3 H 12 T(178)C 5
has gone. It merely means that YOU do not know where T 3 H 12 T(178)C 5
But the truth is still that there IS no problem about T 3 H 14 T(178)C 5
man who does not feel that he is imprisoned in some T 3 H 14 T(178)C 5
To wish is to imply that willing is not sufficient. However T 3 H 15 T(179)C 6
sufficient. However, no-one really believes that what is wished is as T 3 H 15 T(179)C 6
16. It is ESSENTIAL that this whole authority problem be T 3 H 16 T(180)C 7
are acts of will, except that making involves doing, and creating T 3 I 1 T(180)C 7
is a mistake to believe that a thought-system which is based T 3 I 2 T(180)C 7
power. It is absolutely essential that you realize this, because otherwise T 3 I 2 T(180)C 7
its strength. You also know that you CANNOT weaken it any T 3 I 3 T(181)C 8
or a system of thought that is PERFECTLY real in time T 3 I 6 T(181)C 8
but you may be SURE that any interpretation which perceives either T 3 I 7 T(182)C 9
are NOT co-creators. The belief that they ARE is implicit in T 3 I 8 T(182)C 9
in view of the fact that nobody means the physical father T 3 I 8 T(182)C 9
true. I told you before that when you finally perceive correctly T 3 I 9 T(182)C 9
But until then, the belief that you CAN is the central T 3 I 9 T(183)C 10
you believe the one thing that is literally INCONCEIVABLE. That is T 3 I 10 T(183)C 10
thing that is literally INCONCEIVABLE. That is why you CANNOT create T 3 I 10 T(183)C 10
problem. You, Bill, really believe that by teaching you are assuming T 3 I 11 T(183)C 10
dominant or father role, and that the father figure will kill T 3 I 11 T(183)C 10
devil has made. But KNOW that this making will surely dissolve T 3 I 12 T(183)C 10
but nothing else has happened. That is why your Souls are T 3 I 13 T(184)C 11
gone back far ENOUGH and that is why you become so T 3 I 14 T(184)C 11

perception are irreconcilable. To believe that THEY can be reconciled is T 3 I 16 T(184)C 11
be reconciled is to believe that God and man can NOT T 3 I 16 T(184)C 11
literally interchangeable in the sense that they truly bring on the T 4 A 1 T(185)C 12
It certainly DOES NOT suggest that you set him BACK on T 4 A 1 T(185)C 12

point of his writing was that his hero was a man T 4 A 7 T(186)C 13
accomplished. If you can accept that as YOUR OWN last foolish T 4 A 9 T(187)?23
to undertake, and I hope that, if both of you will T 4 A 10 T(187)?23
precisely the kind of exchange that the Souls cannot understand at T 4 B 1 T(188)C 15

done so in the past) that the PROFESSORSHIP was thrust upon T 4 B 3 T(188)C 15

can demonstrate by doing so that the Separation never occurred. The T 4 B 12 T(190)C 17
much of his own thinking that they will one day no T 4 B 14 T(191)C 18
achieved by those who believe that they will LOOSE their child T 4 B 14 T(191)C 18
its own laws. But remember that laws are set up to T 4 B 15 T(191)C 18
ON OTHER IMAGES. You believe that their APPROVAL of your image T 4 B 18 T(192)C 19
will exalt it, but also that your separation anxiety will be T 4 B 18 T(192)C 19
be increased. You also believe that their DISAPPROVAL of it will T 4 B 18 T(192)C 19
Bill, again I tell you that when you are afraid, be T 4 B 24 T(193)C 20
afraid, be still and KNOW that God is real and YOU T 4 B 24 T(193)C 20
God could make a home that was worthy of His Creations T 4 B 29 T(194)C 21
both heal the mind, and that is always my own aim T 4 B 35 T(196)C 23
I have overcome the world. THAT is why you should be T 4 B 36 T(196)C 23
B. has often told you that your thinking is too abstract T 4 C 1 T(197)C 24
is particularly important to realize that this alteration can and does T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
better example of the fact that the ego is an idea T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
This willfullness is so apparent that B. need only perceive it T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
only perceive it to see that is DOES happen. If it T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
happen. If it can occur that way in the present, why T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
why should he be surprised that it occurred that way in T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
be surprised that it occurred that way in the past? All T 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
unfamiliar, but hardly to something that has occurred with such persistenceT 4 C 3 T(198)C 25
for teaching purposes. (Bill, remember that for your own course, and T 4 C 4 T(198)C 25
because it is so apparent that it CAN be readily perceived T 4 C 4 T(198)C 25
provided you both fully recognize that it need not work that T 4 C 4 T(198)C 25
that it need not work that way.

T 4 C 4 T(198)C 25
question, it is perfectly apparent that when she is ego-dominated, she T 4 C 5 T(199)C 26
Why are you surprised that something happened in the dim T 4 C 7 T(200)C 27
now? You forget the love that even animals have for their T 4 C 7 T(200)C 27
it from an ego viewpoint. That is why the Bible quotes T 4 C 8 T(200)C 27
4 C 9. Belief that there IS another way is T 4 C 9 T(200)C 27
contains a hint of recognition that the ego is NOT the T 4 C 9 T(200)C 27
of a long-range view, and that is why your eyesight is T 4 C 9 T(200)C 27
the cognitive level more deeply. That is why you believe that T 4 C 9 T(200)C 27
That is why you believe that you never had knowledge. T 4 C 9 T(200)C 27
your own ego defense, and that is why you find her T 4 C 10 T(201)C 28
more characteristic of her, and that is why she has less T 4 C 10 T(201)C 28
It is extremely fortunate, temporarily, that the particular strengths you willT 4 C 10 T(201)C 28
are very likely to decide that you need precisely what would T 4 C 12 T(201)C 28
perceive the quotation To him that hath shall be given as T 4 C 13 T(202)C 29
be given as a paradox that bordered on the ironic. She T 4 C 13 T(202)C 29
able to give anything implies that you can do without it T 4 C 14 T(202)C 29
somehow getting something better so that you can do without the T 4 C 14 T(202)C 29
an attempt to convince itself that IT is real.
T 4 C 16 T(202)C 29
terms, means nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself T 4 C 17 T(203)C 30
a term which really means that a condition has arisen in T 4 C 17 T(203)C 30
lives by comparisons. This means that equality is beyond its grasp T 4 C 17 T(203)C 30
the body. But the IDEA that this is possible is a T 4 C 18 T(203)C 30
is such a fearful state that it can only turn to T 4 C 19 T(204)C 31
the belief of the mind that it is completely on its T 4 C 19 T(204)C 31
good and evil in nature that the most benevolent of them T 4 C 21 T(204)C 31
magic are closely associated, in that myths are usually related to T 4 C 21 T(205)C 32
physical birth, because nobody maintains that the ego existed before that T 4 C 22 T(205)C 32
that the ego existed before that point in time. The religiously T 4 C 22 T(205)C 32
religiously ego-oriented tend to believe that the Soul existed before, and T 4 C 22 T(205)C 32
into ego-life. Some actually believe that the Soul will be punished T 4 C 22 T(205)C 32
salvaged. Salvation is nothing more that right-mindedness which is NOT theT 4 C 23 T(205)C 32
is uniformly without attack, so that wrong-mindedness is obliterated. The egoT 4 C 23 T(205)C 32

kinds of validity, and also that they are of different orders T 4 C 25 T(206)C 33
of different orders. This means that they do not mean truth T 4 C 25 T(206)C 33
It need hardly be said that an attempt to relate the T 4 C 26 T(207)C 34
it should always be remembered that inventiveness is really wasted effort T 4 C 27 T(207)C 34
will ALWAYS be. Be confident that your creations are as safe T 4 D 3 T(208)C 35
T 4 D 4. That was written in that form T 4 D 4 T(208)C 35
That was written in that form because it is a T 4 D 4 T(208)C 35
the call of the body. That is why the basic conflict T 4 D 7 T(209)C 36
own ending. It tells you that this life is YOUR existence T 4 D 9 T(210)C 37
with your egos cannot believe that God loves you. YOU do T 4 D 11 T(210)C 37
conceive of the real relationship that exists between God and His T 4 D 11 T(210)C 37
want it truly. This means that it wants it WITHOUT ambivalence T 4 D 12 T(210)C 37
is a kind of experience that is so different from anything T 4 D 13 T(211)C 38
anything the ego can offer that you will never recover. The T 4 D 13 T(211)C 38
It is necessary to repeat that your belief in darkness and T 4 D 13 T(211)C 38
bound except in honor, and that is always voluntary. Let us T 4 D 15 T(211)C 38
idea you have ever had that OPPOSES knowledge. You retain thousands T 4 D 17 T(211)C 38
the one fact which MEANS that the ego does not exist T 4 D 21 T(213)C 40
to the Soul. It knows that you both HAVE everything and T 4 D 21 T(213)C 40
lack, has already BEEN accepted. That is why we made no T 4 D 21 T(213)C 40
choose to listen. The fact that you DO listen to the T 4 E 1 T(213)C 40
to you. We have said that you cannot change your mind T 4 E 2 T(214)C 41
said, and many times before, that you can change your mind T 4 E 2 T(214)C 41
When your mood tells you that you have willed wrongly, and T 4 E 3 T(214)C 41
thought wrongly about some Soul that God created, and are perceiving T 4 E 4 T(214)C 41
honestly what you have thought that God would NOT have thought T 4 E 4 T(214)C 41
what you have not thought that God would have you think T 4 E 4 T(214)C 41
When you are sad, KNOW that this NEED NOT BE. Depression T 4 E 6 T(214)C 41
When you are anxious, KNOW that all anxiety comes from the T 4 E 7 T(215)C 42
When you feel guilty, KNOW that your ego has indeed violated T 4 E 8 T(215)C 42
of the ego to me. That is what the Atonement is T 4 E 8 T(215)C 42
Helen, have been more honest that B. in really trying to T 4 E 9 T(215)C 42
HS doubtful about accuracy here) that your mind gains control over T 4 E 10 T(215)C 42
the demands of your ego that you disengage yourself. THIS NEED T 4 E 11 T(216)C 43
concentration: it is a belief that nobody, including yourself, is WORTH T 4 E 11 T(216)C 43
minds carefully for any beliefs that hinder its accomplishment, and step T 4 E 14 T(216)C 43
upon you in peace, knowing that this and only this MUST T 4 E 16 T(217)C 44
and I am reminding you that I have called you to T 4 E 17 T(217)C 44
attacks. Yours is so distorted that you believe that I was T 4 E 18 T(217)C 44
so distorted that you believe that I was mistaken in choosing T 4 E 18 T(217)C 44
are trying to convince you that THEY are real, and I T 4 E 19 T(217)C 44
more real than YOU are. That knowledge, and I assure you T 4 E 19 T(217)C 44
knowledge, and I assure you that it IS knowledge, means that T 4 E 19 T(217)C 44
that it IS knowledge, means that Christ must come into your T 4 E 19 T(217)C 44
raised the dead by KNOWING that life is an eternal attribute T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
an eternal attribute of everything that the living God Created. Why T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
Created. Why do you believe that it is harder for me T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
unstable? I do not believe that there is an order of T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
you will answer. I know that miracles are natural, because they T 4 E 21 T(218)C 45
is its own best argument that you CANNOT be of God T 4 F 4 T(219)C 46
This is the belief that it sponsors eagerly. Yet the T 4 F 5 T(220)C 47
does not accept the idea that the body is good enough T 4 F 5 T(220)C 47
Being told by the ego that it is really part of T 4 F 5 T(220)C 47
part of the body, and that the body is its protector T 4 F 5 T(220)C 47
it is also constantly informed that the body can NOT protect T 4 F 5 T(220)C 47
without cause, reminds the ego that it has itself insisted that T 4 F 6 T(220)C 47
that it has itself insisted that it IS identified with the T 4 F 6 T(220)C 47
find, it does NOT mean that you should seek blindly and T 4 F 9 T(221)C 48
joint venture is his insistence that the goal be formulated clearly T 4 F 9 T(221)C 48
B has very intelligently suggested that you both should set yourself T 4 F 11 T(221)C 48
experience, I must remind you that learning and wanting to learn T 4 F 11 T(222)C 49
learn best when they believe that what they are trying to T 4 F 12 T(222)C 49
to commit itself to anything that is eternal, because the eternal T 4 F 12 T(223)C 50
Eternalness is the one function that the ego has tried to T 4 F 13 T(223)C 50
may surprise you to learn that had the ego willed to T 4 F 13 T(223)C 50
what the ego cannot tolerate. That is because the decision, from T 4 F 13 T(223)C 50
it does with all issues that touch on the real question T 4 F 14 T(223)C 50
with non-essentials is precisely for that purpose. T 4 F T 4 F 14 T(223)C 50
it would immediately become apparent that there was no sense in T 4 F 15 T(223)C 50
17. It is noticeable that in all these diversionary tactics T 4 F 17 T(224)C 51
it is, you cannot doubt that it will channelize your efforts T 4 F 17 T(224)C 51
a good position to realize that the ego is capable of T 4 F 18 T(224)C 51
in which miracle-mindedness is unthinkable. That state in ITSELF is enoughT 4 F 19 T(224)C 51
ITSELF is enough to demonstrate that perception is wrong. T T 4 F 19 T(224)C 51
cannot be emphasized too often that CORRECTING perception is merely a T 4 G 1 T(224)C 51
judgment which it necessarily entails that it is UNNECESSARY. This removes T 4 G 1 T(224)C 51
must be careful that you really understand the question T 4 G 2 T(225)C 52
his mind, he may decide that we are NOT engaging in T 4 G 2 T(225)C 52
While he may yet agree that these are merely teaching aids T 4 G 3 T(225)C 52
opposite. Knowledge NEVER involves comparisons. That is its essential difference fromT 4 G 4 T(225)C 52
and, being unable to realize that a little knowledge is a T 4 G 5 T(225)C 52
context are the same, decides that since all is impossible, the T 4 G 5 T(225)C 52
thing to remember always is that the ego DOES NOT RECOGNIZE T 4 G 6 T(225)C 52
was necessary to persuade you that you cannot dismiss it lightly T 4 G 6 T(225)C 52
cannot safely leave it at that, or you will regard yourselves T 4 G 6 T(225)C 52
here, or more properly, BELIEVE that you are here. T T 4 G 6 T(225)C 52
the individual ego-illusion (tell Bill that phrase is VERY good), but T 4 G 7 T(226)C 53
or you would not believe that you ARE here. T T 4 G 7 T(226)C 53
communication with the Creator of that consciousness. He, too, MUST begin T 4 G 8 T(226)C 53
once gave you symbolically. Remember that HE understood it before you T 4 G 8 T(226)C 53
is exactly the same debt that you owe to me. Whenever T 4 G 9 T(226)C 53
can be used here is that, as you learn how much T 4 G 9 T(226)C 53
results will convince you increasingly that your choice in turning to T 4 G 10 T(226)C 53
who has learned from experience that one choice brings peace and T 4 G 10 T(226)C 53
because the process itself DEMONSTRATES that there is another way. T 4 G 10 T(226)C 53
though he did not understand that the real reason why conditioning T 4 G 11 T(226)C 53
ego, the recognition ITSELF establishes that you and your ego CANNOT T 4 G 12 T(226)C 53
be identical. You may believe that you have already accepted the T 4 G 12 T(226)C 53
as yet. The very fact that you are preoccupied with the T 4 G 12 T(226)C 53
because you want to believe that YOU are. The ego is T 4 G 13 T(227)C 54
willingness to use the device that enables it to endure. T 4 G 13 T(227)C 54
it will not always be that way. Your mission is very T 4 G 14 T(227)C 54
live so as to demonstrate that You are NOT an ego T 4 G 14 T(227)C 54
NOT an ego. I repeat that I do not choose God T 4 G 14 T(227)C 54
have told you several times that I am in charge of T 4 G 15 T(227)C 54
to God for you, knowing that to know your brother IS T 4 G 15 T(227)C 54
idea when he told you that what has been dissociated IS T 4 G 17 T(227)C 54
am grateful to him for that, and I hope he will T 4 G 17 T(227)C 54
hope he will not decide that it is true only for T 4 G 17 T(227)C 54
18. Wisdom always dictates that a therapist work through WEAKER T 4 G 18 T(227)C 54
work through WEAKER defenses first. That is why I suggested to T 4 G 18 T(227)C 54
why I suggested to Bill that he persuade you to deal T 4 G 18 T(227)C 54
in him than in you. That is because dissociation was so T 4 G 19 T(228)C 55
so extreme in your case that you did not have to T 4 G 19 T(228)C 55
because you were not aware that it was there. Bill, on T 4 G 19 T(228)C 55
more than he thinks, and that is why he cannot listen T 4 G 19 T(228)C 55
the same course in repression that you did, because he will T 4 G 19 T(228)C 55
in you. Helen is right that she will experience things that T 4 G 20 T(228)C 55
that she will experience things that will cut across all her T 4 G 20 T(228)C 55
stunning knowledge. You were right that this will occur when she T 4 G 20 T(228)C 55
all complete involvements, and believe that they lessen YOU. You have T 4 G 21 T(228)C 55
much more clear-sighted about this that you should be ready to T 4 G 21 T(228)C 55
God as you hear them. That is because the function of T 4 G 22 T(228)C 55
It should be clear that, while the content of any T 4 H 1 T(229)C 56
specific context. Bill is right that you are too abstract in T 4 H 1 T(229)C 56
part is the same part that believes in the ego, because T 4 H 2 T(229)C 56
specific. It is the part that believes your existence means you T 4 H 2 T(229)C 56
separate whole, without the relationships that imply BEING. The ego is T 4 H 2 T(229)C 56
C 57 that what is true is everything T 4 H 4 T(230)C 57
what is true is everything that God created. It is in T 4 H 4 T(230)C 57
communication is perfectly abstract, in that its quality is universal in T 4 H 5 T(230)C 57
those it was not given. That is why the mind cannot T 4 H 6 T(230)C 57
IS in communication with everything that is real, including its own T 4 H 7 T(230)C 57
to increase their joy. Nothing that is real can be increased T 4 H 8 T(230)C 57
increased EXCEPT by sharing it. That is why God Himself created T 4 H 8 T(230)C 57
takes joy in application, and that is what creation MEANS. How T 4 H 8 T(230)C 57
only create like itself. Remember that in being, there is no T 4 H 8 T(230)C 57
The Bible repeatedly states that you should praise God. This T 4 H 9 T(230)C 57
praise God. This hardly means that you should tell Him how T 4 H 9 T(230)C 57
can still be returned BY that mind through its attitudes to T 4 H 10 T(231)C 58
NOT protecting their egos, so that nothing CAN hurt them. Their T 4 H 11 T(231)C 58
throughout the Kingdom. Every mind that is changed adds to this T 4 H 11 T(231)C 58
the time he is there that his ONLY reason for being T 4 I 2 T(232)C 59
T 4 I 4. That is really why you recoil T 4 I 4 T(232)C 59
ego, because of its belief that nothing but a perfect body T 4 I 5 T(232)C 59
its OWN temple. A mind that recoils from a hurt body T 4 I 5 T(232)C 59
met with this, the mind that so meets them heals ITSELF T 4 I 5 T(232)C 59
the same as telling you that you have refused to heal T 5 A 1 T(233)C 60
to heal yourselves. The light that belongs in you is the T 5 A 1 T(233)C 60
only possible whole state IS that of love. There is no T 5 A 2 T(233)C 60
to integrate and MAKE ONE. That is why it makes no T 5 A 3 T(233)C 60
is so strong that it radiates throughout the Sonship T 5 A 4 T(234) C 61
his neighbor EXCEPT as himself. That is why the healers T 5 A 4 T(234) C 61
5 B 2. Remember that the Soul knows no difference T 5 B 2 T(234) C 61
about it, you will see that, while this kind of thinking T 5 B 3 T(234) C 61
you can accept the concept that the world IS one of T 5 B 4 T(234) C 61
How, then, is it possible that giving and losing can be T 5 B 4 T(234) C 61
Holy Spirit. I told you that I could reach up and T 5 B 5 T(235)C 62
the mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus T 5 B 5 T(235)C 62
of miracle- mindedness. It asks that you may think as I T 5 B 5 T(235)C 62
taught me first and foremost that this Inspiration is for ALL T 5 B 7 T(235)C 62
have it myself without knowing that. T 5 B 8 T 5 B 7 T(235)C 62
is so close to knowledge that it calls forth, or better T 5 B 8 T(235)C 62
is so close to truth that God Himself can flow across T 5 B 8 T(235)C 62
Spirit is the Christ mind that senses the knowledge that lies T 5 B 9 T(235)C 62
mind that senses the knowledge that lies beyond perception. It came T 5 B 9 T(235)C 62
at the same time. Before that, there was no need for T 5 B 9 T(235)C 62
way of thinking about them that could raise their perceptions until T 5 C 1 T(235)C 62
until they became so lofty that they could reach almost back T 5 C 1 T(235)C 62
represents a state of mind that comes close enough to one-mindedness T 5 C 2 T(235)C 62
comes close enough to one-mindedness that transfer is at last possible T 5 C 2 T(235)C 62
ever believe for one instant that sharing it involves anything BUT T 5 C 4 T(236)C 63
therefore truly open. This means that although it does not engender T 5 C 5 T(236)C 63
This call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at T 5 C 10 T(237)C 64
T 5 C 11. That is why you can choose T 5 C 11 T(237)C 64
One you made yourself, and that one is not of God T 5 C 11 T(237)C 64
sense. It is the voice that calls you back to where T 5 C 11 T(237)C 64
this world to hear ONLY that voice and no other. It T 5 D 1 T(237)C 64
It is the final lesson that I learned, and Gods T 5 D 1 T(237)C 64
Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let to banish T 5 D 2 T(237)C 64
is EVALUATIVE, because it implies that there is a RIGHT way T 5 D 3 T(237)C 64
a conflict state. It MEANS that knowledge has been lost, because T 5 D 3 T(237)C 64
is free in the sense that its creative power is unlimited T 5 D 4 T(238)C 65
his own Soul? This means that if he listens to the T 5 D 7 T(238)C 65
It was only my DECISION that gave me all power in T 5 D 9 T(239)C 66
the one act of mind that resembles true creation. T T 5 D 9 T(239)C 66
for God, I showed you that this decision CAN be made T 5 D 10 T(239)C 66
decision CAN be made, and that YOU can make it. I T 5 D 10 T(239)C 66
make it. I promised you that the mind that made the T 5 D 10 T(239)C 66
promised you that the mind that made the decision for me T 5 D 10 T(239)C 66
is also in YOU, and that you can let it change T 5 D 10 T(239)C 66
it to the perfect integration that can make it whole? T 5 D 11 T(239)C 66
5 D 13. Remember that Yoke means join together, and T 5 D 13 T(239)C 66
vaguely aware of the fact that there is another way, or T 5 D 13 T(240)C 67
no-one denies the basic law that behavior is a response to T 5 D 14 T(240)C 67
him. We have already said that the Holy Spirit is the T 5 E 1 T(241)C 68
4. When Bill said that he was determined NOT to T 5 E 4 T(242)C 69
determined NOT to see you that way, he was speaking negatively T 5 E 4 T(242)C 69
he said. He had realized that there are two ways of T 5 E 4 T(242)C 69
of seeing you, and also that they are diametrically opposed to T 5 E 4 T(242)C 69
he was really saying was that he would NOT look at T 5 E 5 T(242)C 69
Spirit IS weak in you. That is why you MUST share T 5 E 5 T(242)C 69
Holy Spirit in YOURSELVES, and that is why your meditations have T 5 E 6 T(242)C 69
eternity. We have said before that the Holy Spirit is God T 5 E 7 T(243)C 70
have repeatedly emphasized the fact that one level of the mind T 5 E 7 T(243)C 70
is really eternal is NOW. That is what we REALLY mean T 5 E 8 T(243)C 70
REALLY mean when we say that now is the only time T 5 E 8 T(243)C 70
YOURSELF. It is of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you T 5 E 11 T(244)C 71
reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit SEES. This T 5 E 11 T(244)C 71
ALREADY understand, to teach you that you do not understand it T 5 E 13 T(245)C 72
with and for a mind that IS in opposition. Correct and T 5 E 16 T(246)C 73
in your minds, asking only that you INCREASE it in His T 5 E 16 T(246)C 73
B. is right is saying that you have learned to be T 5 F 1 T(247)C 74
understanding therapist, except for yourself. That exception has given you moreT 5 F 1 T(247)C 74
This does NOT mean that it is lost to you T 5 F 2 T(247)C 74
you, but it DOES mean that you are not aware of T 5 F 2 T(247)C 74
within YOU, and we know that what God creates is eternal T 5 F 2 T(247)C 74
to overcome with YOUR help. That is because you do not T 5 F 3 T(247)C 74
fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to T 5 F 4 T(248)C 75
safely fail to acknowledge anything that is true, but the Holy T 5 F 4 T(248)C 75
to help you re-interpret EVERYTHING that you perceive as fearful, and T 5 F 4 T(248)C 75
the voice for Creation. Nothing that is not good was ever T 5 F 5 T(248)C 75
it is a CONTINUING. Everything that CAN continue has already BEEN T 5 F 5 T(248)C 75
the part of your mind that needs healing to the higher T 5 F 5 T(248)C 75
yourself always told your patients that the real difference between neuroticT 5 F 6 T(248)C 75
and healthy’ guilt feelings was that neurotic guilt feelings DO NOT T 5 F 6 T(248)C 75
a PURE ACT OF SHARING. That is what is meant when T 5 F 9 T(249)C 76
is meant when we said that it is possible even in T 5 F 9 T(249)C 76
was mentioned before. We said that you will one day teach T 5 F 10 T(250)C 77
much as you learn, and that will keep you in balance T 5 F 10 T(250)C 77
voice because I had learned that learning is attained BY teaching T 5 F 10 T(250)C 77
attained BY teaching. I understood that I COULD NOT ATONE FOR T 5 F 10 T(250)C 77
hear it yourself. The mind that was in me is still T 5 F 11 T(250)C 77
other cheek does NOT mean that you should submit to violence T 5 F 11 T(250)C 77
violence without protest. It means that you cannot be hurt, and T 5 F 11 T(250)C 77
except your wholeness. Show him that he CANNOT hurt you, and T 5 F 11 T(250)C 77
of ideas, and the awareness that to share them is to T 5 F 12 T(250)C 77
as he is, and KNOW that he belongs to God, as T 5 F 14 T(251)C 78
Sonship is the only creator that can create like the Father T 5 F 16 T(252)C 79
can create like the Father. That is because only the complete T 5 F 16 T(252)C 79
lacks nothing. Everything YOU think that is not through the Holy T 5 F 16 T(252)C 79
Hold it and share it, that it may always be ours T 5 F 17 T(252)C 79
logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit, because T 5 G 1 T(254)C 81
But let us again remember that both are in you. T 5 G 1 T(254)C 81
Guilt is always disruptive. Anything that engenders fear is divisive, becauseT 5 G 3 T(254)C 81
His power. The ego believes that this is what YOU did T 5 G 4 T(255)C 82
IS you. It follows, then, that if you identify WITH the T 5 G 4 T(255)C 82
the sane mind, never forget that the ego is NOT SANE T 5 G 5 T(255)C 82
the egos voice MEANS that you believe it is possible T 5 G 5 T(255)C 82
to attack God. You believe that a part of Him has T 5 G 5 T(255)C 82
the guilt is so acute that it MUST be projected. Although T 5 G 6 T(255)C 82
have little trouble in understanding that it is perfectly possible not T 5 G 7 T(255)C 82
ego in it, the fact that you have accepted it, or T 5 G 7 T(256)C 83
creating reality. We said before that you must learn to think T 5 G 7 T(256)C 83
Guilt is a sure sign that your thinking is Unnatural. Perverted T 5 G 7 T(256)C 83
or anyone. We said before that illness is a form of T 5 G 9 T(256)C 83
magical SOLUTION. The ego believes that by punishing ITSELF, it will T 5 G 9 T(256)C 83
perceives them, because it recognizes that only total allegiance can be T 5 G 9 T(256)C 83
wants, just as YOU can. That is why the question what T 5 G 10 T(257)C 84
G 11. But remember that the ALTERNATIVES are unalterable. The T 5 G 11 T(257)C 84
thought, but you CAN think that you believe in them. T 5 G 11 T(257)C 84
feelings are always a sign that you do not know this T 5 G 12 T(258)C 85
know this. They also show that you believe you CAN think T 5 G 12 T(258)C 85
inescapable for those who believe that they order their OWN thought T 5 G 13 T(258)C 85
their mind ERRORS, without recognizing that by ACCEPTING this responsibility theyT 5 G 13 T(258)C 85
ATONEMENT, and I assure you that it is, then the responsibility T 5 G 13 T(258)C 85
symptom cure. But NO-ONE believes that the symptoms can remain if T 5 G 14 T(258)C 85
results of this decision at that time. ANY decision of the T 5 H 1 T(258)C 85
or abandonment, and thus ensure that the future will remain like T 5 H 3 T(259)C 86
of security through the belief that you cannot escape from it T 5 H 3 T(259)C 86
the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are part of T 5 H 4 T(260)C 87
cannot BE lost. The mind that was in me IS in T 5 H 4 T(260)C 87
you do not understand is that the two voices speak for T 5 H 5 T(260)C 87
shall ye reap merely means that what you believe to be T 5 H 8 T(261)C 88
easily explained if you remember that ideas increase only by being T 5 H 9 T(261)C 88
quotation therefore emphasizes the fact that vengeance CANNOT be shared. GiveT 5 H 9 T(261)C 88
all it really means is that the Holy Spirit in later T 5 H 10 T(261)C 88
all, although the ego welcomes that interpretation. You CAN delay the T 5 H 12 T(262)C 89
dark glass, and remember also that we said Do not look T 5 H 13 T(262)C 89
there. It is still true that Where you look to find T 5 H 13 T(262)C 89
patience, because my will IS that of our Father, from whom T 5 H 15 T(263)C 90
need to learn now is that only infinite patience CAN produce T 5 H 15 T(263)C 90
H 16. To say that time is temporary is merely T 5 H 16 T(263)C 90
redundant. We have repeatedly said that time is a learning device T 5 H 16 T(263)C 90
God in time, also knows that time is meaningless. He reminds T 5 H 16 T(263)C 90
a misinterpretation. The statement means that Gods peace is set T 5 I 2 T(264)C 91
s thought was so conflicted that he could not have retained T 5 I 4 T(264)C 91
learning advantages. First, it recognizes that man CAN be fixated at T 5 I 6 T(265)C 92
the situation. Therefore, he EMPHASIZED that the point in development at T 5 I 7 T(265)C 92
this fixation is so strong that you will never overcome it T 5 I 10 T(267)C 94
fixation is on a level that is so high that it T 5 I 10 T(267)C 94
level that is so high that it cannot BE surmounted. You T 5 I 10 T(267)C 94
you can make a voice that can drown out His? Do T 5 I 11 T(267)C 94
His? Do you really believe that you can devise a thought-system T 5 I 11 T(267)C 94
His? Do you REALLY believe that you can plan for your T 5 I 11 T(267)C 94
His voice reminds you always that all hope is yours BECAUSE T 5 I 11 T(267)C 94
to escape His care, because that is not His will. But T 5 I 12 T(267)C 94
HIMSELF, he does NOT believe that there is no order in T 5 I 12 T(267)C 94
miracles. He has not learned that EVERY mind that God created T 5 I 12 T(267)C 94
not learned that EVERY mind that God created is equally worthy T 5 I 12 T(267)C 94
for what He gave, knowing that this giving will heal YOU T 5 I 13 T(268)C 95
Spirit to you, and asks that you commend yours to Him T 5 I 13 T(268)C 95
its separateness. This willingness means that YOU DO NOT WANT TO T 5 I 14 T(268)C 95
HEALED. When I told Bill that there is just one more T 5 I 14 T(268)C 95
of river as rivet showed that, even though he wanted release T 5 I 14 T(268)C 95
and how urgent it is that you fulfill it. T T 5 I 15 T(268)C 95
Him. The one more thing that Bill must learn is merely T 5 I 16 T(268)C 95
Bill must learn is merely that he is NOT the one T 5 I 16 T(268)C 95
has frequently observed for HIMSELF that this is hard to do T 5 I 16 T(268)C 95
You might also remind him that to whatever extent he separates T 5 I 17 T(269)C 96
own ideas to him, so that you can share them and T 5 I 17 T(269)C 96
The decision to react in that way, however, was YOURS, and T 5 I 18 T(269)C 96
is obvious if you realize that you must ALREADY have made T 5 I 19 T(269)C 96
to be wholly joyous if that is what you feel. Therefore T 5 I 19 T(269)C 96
the undoing is to recognize that YOU ACTIVELY DECIDED WRONGLY, BUT T 5 I 19 T(269)C 96
fully aware of the fact that the UNDOING process, which does T 5 I 20 T(269)C 96
sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit will respond T 5 I 20 T(269)C 96
cannot occur unless you believe that you have BEEN attacked; the T 6 A 1 T(271)C 98
premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a brother is worthy of T 6 A 1 T(271)C 98
And we have often said that an extreme example is a T 6 A 2 T(271)C 98
it. It was quite evident that you had ALREADY developed the T 6 A 3 T(271)C 98
we laid upon it was that it was NOT a form T 6 B 1 T(272)C 99
of punishment. But we know that nothing can be really explained T 6 B 1 T(272)C 99
I told you before that you can always call on T 6 B 2 T(272)C 99
STRONGER. I also told you that the crucifixion was the last T 6 B 2 T(272)C 99
was the last foolish journey that the Sonship need take, and T 6 B 2 T(272)C 99
the Sonship need take, and that it should means RELEASE from T 6 B 2 T(272)C 99
Resurrection was not clarified at that time. Nevertheless, it has a T 6 B 2 T(272)C 99
IS fully understood as ONLY that, I cannot serve as a T 6 B 3 T(272)C 99
body. There is little doubt that one BODY can assault another T 6 B 4 T(272)C 99
ITSELF is impossible, then ANYTHING that is destructible cannot be real T 6 B 4 T(272)C 99
was intended to teach was that it is not necessary to T 6 B 4 T(273)C 100
have made it perfectly clear that I am like you, and T 6 B 4 T(273)C 100
you DO choose to react that way that I WAS persecuted T 6 B 5 T(273)C 100
choose to react that way that I WAS persecuted as the T 6 B 5 T(273)C 100
Truth in you, and KNOW that it cannot be assailed. Do T 6 B 6 T(273)C 100
yourselves, or you have believed that it IS assailable. You are T 6 B 6 T(273)C 100
asked to BE crucified, because that was part of my own T 6 B 6 T(273)C 100
is, and do not TEACH that there is. Remember always that T 6 B 7 T(273)C 100
that there is. Remember always that what you believe you WILL T 6 B 7 T(273)C 100
of God, but first believe that it is true for you T 6 B 7 T(274)C 101
times. It should be noted that he did offer to defend T 6 B 8 T(274)C 101
learners. But yet I know that they cannot really betray themselves T 6 B 8 T(274)C 101
betray themselves or me, and that it is still on them T 6 B 8 T(274)C 101
it is still on them that I MUST build my church T 6 B 8 T(274)C 101
sake AND mine, to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault, as T 6 B 10 T(274)C 101
killed. It was perfectly clear that this was only because of T 6 B 10 T(274)C 101
to be re-awakened by them. That was their only purpose, and T 6 B 10 T(274)C 101
was their only purpose, and that is the only way T 6 B 10 T(274)C 101
from them WITHOUT experiencing them. That is because the Holy Spirit T 6 B 11 T(275)C 102
teach as I learned, is that no perception which is out T 6 B 12 T(275)C 102
I will, with God Himself, that none of His Sons should T 6 B 13 T(275)C 102
His Sons should suffer. Remember that the Holy Spirit is the T 6 B 13 T(275)C 102
His voice, you will know that you cannot either hurt or T 6 B 13 T(275)C 102
hurt or BE hurt, but that many need your blessing to T 6 B 13 T(275)C 102
clear: teach ONLY love, for that is what you ARE. If T 6 B 14 T(275)C 102
always for the same reason that makes anyone misunderstand anything. Their T 6 B 14 T(275)C 102
They could not have believed that I could have said, Betrayest T 6 B 16 T(276)C 103
of the crucifixion was simply that I did NOT. The punishment T 6 B 16 T(276)C 103
as myself. Was it likely that I would condemn him when T 6 B 16 T(276)C 103
I was ready to demonstrate that condemnation is impossible? T T 6 B 16 T(276)C 103
you read their teachings, remember that I told them myself that T 6 B 17 T(276)C 103
that I told them myself that there was much they would T 6 B 17 T(276)C 103
has literally believed for years that teaching IS martyrdom. This is T 6 B 18 T(276)C 103
and still thinks at times, that teaching leads to crucifixion rather T 6 B 18 T(276)C 103
this association is so obvious that

--- Manuscript
T 6 B 18 T(276)C 103
blame, and REINFORCES the idea that blame is justified. The behavior T 6 B 18 T(277)C 104
blame is justified. The behavior that results is a LESSON IN T 6 B 18 T(277)C 104
all behavior teaches the beliefs that motivate it. T 6 T 6 B 18 T(277)C 104
one MUST learn to teach that all forms of rejection are T 6 B 20 T(277)C 104
dissociation. We have said before that the separation was and IS T 6 C 2 T(277)C 104
and IS dissociation, and also that once it had occurred, projection T 6 C 2 T(277)C 104
very statement you are making that you are DIFFERENT from someone T 6 C 2 T(278)C 105
try to keep the fact that you must have attacked yourself T 6 C 2 T(278)C 105
of awareness, and thus imagine that you have made yourself safe T 6 C 2 T(278)C 105
on the wholly spurious grounds that it makes you seem better T 6 C 3 T(278)C 105
5. But we know that there is another use of T 6 C 5 T(278)C 105
because it is the acknowledgement that you are NOT in this T 6 C 6 T(279)C 106
joyless place EXCEPT by realizing that YOU ARE NOT THERE? You T 6 C 6 T(279)C 106
THERE? You cannot be ANYWHERE that God did not put you T 6 C 6 T(279)C 106
you as part of HIM. That is both WHERE you are T 6 C 6 T(279)C 106
6 C 7. Anything that God creates is as true T 6 C 7 T(279)C 106
use perception in a way that PARALLELS knowledge, you will ultimately T 6 C 7 T(279)C 106
The ego prefers to believe that parallel lines do not meet T 6 C 8 T(279)C 106
as impossible. You might remember that the human eye perceives them T 6 C 8 T(279)C 106
Atonement, then, is the recognition that the separation NEVER OCCURRED. TheT 6 C 11 T(280)C 107
it is an explicit statement that the EGO never occurred. T 6 C 11 T(280)C 107
ego can accept the idea that RETURN is necessary, because it T 6 C 12 T(280)C 107
the Holy Spirit tells you that even RETURN is unnecessary, because T 6 C 12 T(280)C 107
But it does NOT follow that YOU cannot make the idea T 6 C 12 T(280)C 107
Yet it is surely clear that the perfect NEED nothing, and T 6 C 12 T(280)C 107
as a difficult accomplishment because that is what they ARE. T 6 C 12 T(281)C 108
this perception, because it means that ALL perception is guided by T 6 C 13 T(281)C 108
which He must speak because that is what He IS. The T 6 C 14 T(281)C 108
peace of God lies in that message, and so the peace T 6 C 14 T(281)C 108
T 6 D 4. That is why you must teach T 6 D 4 T(282)C 109
must LEARN. We said before that the message of the Crucifixion T 6 D 4 T(282)C 109
was teach ONLY love, for that is what you ARE. This T 6 D 4 T(282)C 109
so will you learn. If that is true, and it is T 6 D 5 T(283)C 110
indeed, you must never forget that what you teach is teaching T 6 D 5 T(283)C 110
dawns upon it, assuring it that it is perfectly safe forever T 6 D 5 T(283)C 110
YOU will learn the truth that will make you free, and T 6 D 6 T(283)C 110
becomes a part of you that you KNOW, because you cannot T 6 D 7 T(283)C 110
the CONVICTION of teaching. Remember that if teaching is being and T 6 D 7 T(283)C 110
Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and YOU T 6 D 7 T(283)C 110
6 E 1. Remember that the Holy Spirit is the T 6 E 1 T(284)C 111
because it believes, and correctly, that its maker may withdraw his T 6 E 1 T(284)C 111
made you part of Him. That is why attack WITHIN the T 6 E 2 T(284)C 111
the part of your mind that believes YOU are separate and T 6 E 2 T(284)C 111
then, raised the first question that was ever asked, but it T 6 E 3 T(284)C 111
it can never answer it. That question, which was What are T 6 E 3 T(284)C 111
fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know T 6 E 3 T(284)C 111
answers FOR ALL TIME, and that means that EVERYONE HAS THE T 6 E 3 T(284)C 111
ALL TIME, and that means that EVERYONE HAS THE ANSWER NOW T 6 E 3 T(284)C 111
Spirit, but it DOES feel that part of the same mind T 6 E 4 T(285)C 112
part of the same mind that made it is against it T 6 E 4 T(285)C 112
its maker. The ego believes that the best defense is attack T 6 E 4 T(285)C 112
minds, and because they realize that their enemy CAN end them T 6 E 5 T(285)C 112
the mind, which IS real, that it IS its own learning T 6 E 5 T(285)C 112
its own learning device, and that the learning device is more T 6 E 5 T(285)C 112
they have confused you. But that was only because you were T 6 E 6 T(285)C 112
But the Kingdom and all that you have created there will T 6 E 7 T(286)C 113
God without question. The time that was spent on questioning in T 6 E 7 T(286)C 113
9. It is curious that the perfect must now be T 6 E 9 T(287)C 114
impossible. But you must remember that when you put yourselves in T 6 E 9 T(287)C 114
an impossible situation, you believed that the impossible WAS possible. T 6 E 9 T(287)C 114
is not true of anything that God created, but it is T 6 E 10 T(287)C 114
a fact which ITSELF demonstrates that you are NOT enslaved. T 6 E 10 T(287)C 114
perfection, and PROVED to you that you were wrong. This would T 6 E 11 T(287)C 114
were wrong. This would demonstrate that the perfect were inadequate to T 6 E 11 T(287)C 114
thus side with the belief that those who have everything need T 6 E 11 T(287)C 114
is the kind of reasoning that the ego engages in, but T 6 E 12 T(288)C 115
in, but God, who KNOWS that His creations are perfect does T 6 E 12 T(288)C 115
as the egos notion that it has insulted Him. That T 6 E 12 T(288)C 115
that it has insulted Him. That is why the Holy Spirit T 6 E 12 T(288)C 115
if God proved to you that you have thought insanely? Can T 6 E 13 T(288)C 115
certainty? We have frequently stated that what you teach you ARE T 6 E 13 T(288)C 115
you have God teach you that you have sinned? If He T 6 E 13 T(288)C 115
PERFECTION. Could God teach you that you had made a split T 6 F 1 T(288)C 115
What God DOES know is that His communication channels are not T 6 F 2 T(289)C 116
not open to Him, so that He cannot impart His joy T 6 F 2 T(289)C 116
impart His joy and know that His Children are wholly joyous T 6 F 2 T(289)C 116
than with a gentle Voice that will not frighten them, but T 6 F 3 T(289)C 116
but will merely remind them that the night is over and T 6 F 3 T(289)C 116
You do not inform them that the nightmares which frightened them T 6 F 3 T(289)C 116
magic. You merely reassure them that they are safe NOW. Then T 6 F 3 T(289)C 116
between sleeping and waking, so that THEY will understand they need T 6 F 3 T(289)C 116
s teachers. Consider the confusion that a child would experience if T 6 F 4 T(289)C 116
unsafe, but if you do THAT you will escape from harm T 6 F 4 T(289)C 116
only three words: Do only that. That simple statement is perfectly T 6 F 4 T(289)C 116
three words: Do only that. That simple statement is perfectly clear T 6 F 4 T(289)C 116
are gone, you will know that YOU will last forever. Many T 6 F 7 T(290)C 117
will last forever. Many think that this is accomplished through death T 6 F 7 T(290)C 117
demonstrates this. We have said that the Holy Spirit is the T 6 F 9 T(291)118
because He ALWAYS tells you that ONLY the mind is real T 6 F 9 T(291)118
equal Sons of God, and that is FULL APPRECIATION. Nothing more T 6 F 11 T(291)118
becomes communion. You might argue that fear as well as love T 6 F 12 T(291)118
It is not even necessary that you COMPLETE the step yourself T 6 F 14 T(292)119
yourself, but it IS necessary that you turn in that direction T 6 F 14 T(292)119
necessary that you turn in that direction. Having willed to go T 6 F 14 T(292)119
direction. Having willed to go that way, you place YOURSELF in T 6 F 14 T(292)119
but it is quite apparent that you can teach wrongly, and T 6 G 1 T(293)C 120
TEACH YOURSELVES WRONG. Many thought that I was attacking them, even T 6 G 1 T(293)C 120
though it is quite apparent that I was NOT. An insane T 6 G 1 T(293)C 120
What you must understand is that, when you do not SHARE T 6 G 2 T(293)C 120
it. All good teachers realize that only fundamental change will last T 6 G 2 T(293)C 120
they do NOT begin at that level. Strengthening MOTIVATION for change T 6 G 2 T(293)C 120
IN THE LEARNER is all that a teacher NEED do to T 6 G 2 T(293)C 120
all TO all. We said that this is apt to INCREASE T 6 G 3 T(294)121
LESS acceptable, would obviously be that IT is insane. The ego T 6 G 5 T(294)121
examples too. It is interesting that Helen claimed at the time T 6 G 6 T(295)122
Helen claimed at the time that she had never heard of T 6 G 6 T(295)122
ego tries to persuade you that it is up to YOU T 6 G 8 T(295)122
the Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God T 6 G 8 T(295)122
MUST dawn on your minds that you are

T 6 G 8 T(295)122
was made irrevocably FOR you. That is why we suggested before T 6 G 8 T(296)C 123
is why we suggested before that there was help in reminding T 6 G 8 T(296)C 123
of conflict, because it means that alternatives have been considered, and T 6 G 10 T(296)C 123
evaluation more desirable still implies that the desirable has degrees. ThereforeT 6 G 11 T(296)C 123
It should be clear that the recognition of the lack T 6 G 12 T(296)C 123
accepted, because NOTHING is difficult that is WHOLLY DESIRED. To desire T 6 G 12 T(296)C 123
step toward the unified perception that parallels Gods knowing. T 6 G 12 T(296)C 123
on this way by realizing that ONLY ONE WAY IS POSSIBLE T 6 G 13 T(297)C 124
it FOLLOWS. The very fact that you have accepted THAT is T 6 G 13 T(297)C 124
fact that you have accepted THAT is a demonstration of your T 6 G 13 T(297)C 124
demonstration of your growing awareness that the Holy Spirit WILL lead T 6 G 13 T(297)C 124
whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy Spirit IS evaluative T 6 H 1 T(298)C 125
you to judge every thought that you allow to ENTER in T 6 H 1 T(298)C 125
what you must remember is that what the Holy Spirit REJECTS T 6 H 2 T(298)C 125
this crucial issue vary, and that is why it promotes different T 6 H 2 T(298)C 125
and so the ONE mood that He engenders is joy. He T 6 H 2 T(298)C 125
protects this by rejecting everything that does NOT foster joy, and T 6 H 2 T(298)C 125
only in YOUR mind, so that you cannot PROJECT it. God T 6 H 3 T(299)C 126
thought REVERSAL, because it implies that there is something you must T 6 H 4 T(299)C 126
5. We said already that you can be as vigilant T 6 H 5 T(299)C 126
it. This lesson teaches not that you CAN be, but that T 6 H 5 T(299)C 126
that you CAN be, but that you MUST be. It does T 6 H 5 T(299)C 126
This step is unequivocal in that it teaches THERE MUST BE T 6 H 5 T(299)C 126
but it does NOT deny that the temptations to MAKE exceptions T 6 H 5 T(299)C 126
and are holding the belief that you can CHOOSE EITHER ONE T 6 H 5 T(300)127
be able to teach you that YOU NEED NOT CHOOSE AT T 6 H 6 T(300)127
WITH Him. You learn first that having rests on GIVING and T 6 H 7 T(300)127
NOT getting. Next you learn that you learn what you TEACH T 6 H 7 T(300)127
learn what you TEACH, and that you WANT TO LEARN PEACE T 6 H 7 T(300)127
But you have believed that you are WITHOUT the Kingdom T 6 H 8 T(301)128
therefore essential to teach you that YOU must be INCLUDED, and T 6 H 8 T(301)128
be INCLUDED, and the BELIEF THAT YOU ARE NOT is the T 6 H 8 T(301)128
NOT is the ONLY thing that you must exclude. T T 6 H 8 T(301)128
HIMSELF. We have already said that altars are BELIEFS, but God T 6 H 9 T(301)128
This, however, does NOT mean that what it transfers TO is T 6 H 10 T(301)128
WHOLE Sonship WITHOUT EXCEPTION demonstrates that you PERCEIVE ITS WHOLENESS andT 6 H 11 T(301)128
ITS WHOLENESS and have learned that it IS One. Now you T 6 H 11 T(301)128
It is only your awareness that NEEDS protection, because your BEING T 6 H 11 T(302)C 129
given you a sick mind that MUST be healed. Your vigilance T 6 H 12 T(302)C 129
as of you. But remember that those who will to teach T 6 H 13 T(302)C 129
EVERYTHING ELSE. I told you that you were just beginning the T 6 H 14 T(302)C 129
but I also told you that the third one FOLLOWS it T 6 H 14 T(302)C 129
Your vigilance is the sign that you WANT Him to guide T 6 H 14 T(302)C 129
but only to teach you that effort ITSELF is unnecessary. You T 6 H 14 T(303)C 130
Him. We have already stated that only in this respect your T 7 A 1 T(303)C 130
deal, but it cannot understand that to be LIKE another means T 7 B 1 T(304)C 131
to be LIKE another means that NO DEALS ARE POSSIBLE. To T 7 B 1 T(304)C 131
the Kingdom, because I believed that was what I WAS. What T 7 B 2 T(304)C 131
the Holy Spirit leads you, that your joy may be complete T 7 B 3 T(305)C 132
is whole. We have said that the last step in the T 7 B 3 T(305)C 132
words are symbols, and nothing that is true NEEDS to be T 7 B 3 T(305)C 132
ALWAYS. It must be understood that the word first as applied T 7 B 4 T(305)C 132
here only in the sense that He is first in the T 7 B 4 T(305)C 132
5. The last step that God was said to take T 7 B 5 T(306)C 133
of thinking in this world that resembles the Thought of God T 7 B 6 T(306)C 133
operate in this world, is that by obeying them, and I T 7 C 3 T(307)C 134
them, and I assure you that you MUST obey them, you T 7 C 3 T(307)C 134
chosen to FIGHT for them. That is why they perceive the T 7 C 3 T(307)C 134
4. But the argument that underlies the DEFENSE of freedom T 7 C 4 T(307)C 134
who are AGAINST freedom believe that its outcome will hurt them T 7 C 4 T(307)C 134
error, because it implies something that exists between DIFFERENT individuals. WhenT 7 C 5 T(307)C 134
of the law clearly implies that you will learn what YOU T 7 C 6 T(308)C 135
the surety of Being, KNOW that what you project you ARE T 7 C 6 T(308)C 135
T 7 C 7. That form of the law is T 7 C 7 T(308)C 135
Him, follow it gladly, knowing that the INCREASE of the Kingdom T 7 C 7 T(308)C 135
to change the form SO THAT the original meaning IS retained T 7 C 7 T(308)C 135
as meaningful, and emphasizes always that THESE DIFFERENCES DO NOT MATTER T 7 C 8 T(308)C 135
T 7 C 10. That is why the Holy Spirit T 7 C 10 T(309)C 136
in remembering. We said before that He teaches remembering and FORGETTING T 7 C 10 T(309)C 136
you can LEARN consistency, so that you can finally BE consistent T 7 C 10 T(309)C 136
confused? It MUST be apparent that confusion INTERFERES with meaning, and T 7 C 10 T(309)C 136
because nothing discordant EVER enters. That is why it IS the T 7 C 11 T(309)C 136
and is therefore LIKE Him. That IS its reality, and nothing T 7 C 11 T(309)C 136
is like negative numbers in that the concept can be used T 7 D 1 T(310)C 137
application practically. It is true that if you put three apples T 7 D 1 T(310)C 137
But it is NOT true that the table is now MINUS T 7 D 1 T(310)C 137
T 7 D 2. That is why all and nothing T 7 D 2 T(310)C 137
meaningful. This does NOT mean that what ability is used FOR T 7 D 3 T(310)C 137
4. You will notice that we have used the term T 7 D 4 T(311)C 138
all it has learned, because that would DEFEAT its purpose in T 7 D 4 T(311)C 138
a UNIFIED curriculum. The fact that this was NOT the ego T 7 D 5 T(311)C 138
T 7 D 7. That is why we once said T 7 D 7 T(312)C 139
is why we once said that papers will be easy to T 7 D 7 T(312)C 139
God Himself, He teaches you that ALL POWER IS YOURS. Its T 7 D 7 T(312)C 139
waits in the Kingdom because that is where He placed it T 7 E 1 T(312)C 139
ego is insane; it teaches that you are NOT what you T 7 E 1 T(312)C 139
ARE. This is so contradictory that it is clearly impossible. It T 7 E 1 T(312)C 139
YOUR friend. We said before that the egos friend is T 7 E 2 T(313)C 140
not part of you but that is because the ego perceives T 7 E 2 T(313)C 140
it. It IS the belief that conflicting interests are possible, and T 7 E 3 T(313)C 140
are possible, and therefore means that you have accepted the IMpossible T 7 E 3 T(313)C 140
IMpossible as true. How is that different from saying that you T 7 E 3 T(313)C 140
is that different from saying that you are perceiving YOURSELF as T 7 E 3 T(313)C 140
As long as you believe that you can ATTEND to what T 7 E 4 T(313)C 140
question by establishing the fact that to QUESTION reality is to T 7 E 5 T(314)C 141
reality is to question MEANINGLESSLY. That is why the Holy Spirit T 7 E 5 T(314)C 141
on inspiration in the sense that we have already used the T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
are depressed because they believe that they are literally without the T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
them by inspiring them, because that would be magic, and therefore T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
you DO recognize the Spirit that is ALREADY THERE, and thereby T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
the part of the mind that can perceive it and be T 7 E 6 T(314)C 141
intermediary step toward the knowledge that YOU are in God BECAUSE T 7 E 9 T(315)C 142
the ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way T 7 E 9 T(316)C 143
the Holy Spirit still knows that YOUR forgetting MUST be translated T 7 E 10 T(316)C 143
ALWAYS to make YOU believe that YOU are in opposition. T 7 E 10 T(316)C 143
it is BECAUSE of this that their goals can NEVER be T 7 E 11 T(316)C 143
right perception is so great that it brings the mind INTO T 7 E 11 T(317)C 144
real delusion. The ego believes that it HAS this ability, and T 7 E 12 T(317)C 144
the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is where the laws of T 7 E 13 T(317)C 144
FORGETTING the sense of danger that the ego has induced in T 7 E 13 T(317)C 144
this matter are so apparent that they need no elaboration here T 7 F 1 T(318)C 145
such direct connection with healing that it DOES need clarification. The T 7 F 1 T(318)C 145
only try to teach you that the BODY can both communicate T 7 F 2 T(318)C 145
then, tries to teach you that the body can ACT like T 7 F 2 T(318)C 145
self-sufficient. But we have learned that behavior is NOT the level T 7 F 2 T(318)C 145
Healing is the one ability that everyone CAN develop, and MUST T 7 F 3 T(319)C 146
magic, but you must realize that magic is ALWAYS the belief T 7 F 3 T(319)C 146
magic is ALWAYS the belief that healing is HARMFUL. This is T 7 F 3 T(319)C 146
perceives NOTHING in the healer that everyone else does not share T 7 F 4 T(319)C 146
have it. He may believe that this gift comes from God T 7 F 4 T(319)C 146
but it is quite evident that he does NOT understand God T 7 F 4 T(319)C 146
he thinks HE has something that others DO NOT. You might T 7 F 4 T(319)C 146
the time, and the belief that he IS, in the mind T 7 F 5 T(319)C 146
by chance, and the healing that is of Him ALWAYS works T 7 F 6 T(320)C 147
By accepting exceptions, and acknowledging that he can SOMETIMES heal and T 7 F 6 T(320)C 147
and is therefore a concept that ONLY a conflicted mind could T 7 F 7 T(320)C 147
can be counted on. EVERYTHING that is of God can be T 7 F 8 T(320)C 147
GOD means consistence. And because that IS His Meaning, it is T 7 F 8 T(320)C 147
in its power for change that a Son of God can T 7 F 9 T(321)C 148
the world in the next. That is because by changing HIS T 7 F 9 T(321)C 148
changed the most powerful device that was ever created FOR change T 7 F 9 T(321)C 148
created it. But YOU think that you HAVE changed it, as T 7 F 10 T(321)C 148
by this can you learn that it IS changeless. T T 7 F 10 T(321)C 148
11. When you heal, that is exactly what you ARE T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
your brother by perceiving (knowing) that he could NOT have changed T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
NOT have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
the Holy Spirit in him that never changes His mind. He T 7 F 11 T(321)C 148
TAKE AWAY. It literally believes that every time it deprives someone T 7 F 12 T(322)C 149
whole glory and perfect joy that IS the Kingdom lies in T 7 F 13 T(322)C 149
you. Our brothers ARE forgetful. That is why they need your T 7 F 13 T(322)C 149
are so powerful a light that you can look into theirs T 7 F 13 T(322)C 149
ARE of one Mind, and that Mind IS ours. See ONLY T 7 F 14 T(322)C 149
something in part of it that you will not attribute to T 7 G 1 T(324)C 151
attribute to all of it. That is why attack is NEVER T 7 G 1 T(324)C 151
WILL affect his total perception. That includes his perception of God T 7 G 1 T(324)C 151
G 2. The mind that accepts attack CANNOT love. This T 7 G 2 T(324)C 151
This is because it believes that it can DESTROY love, and T 7 G 2 T(324)C 151
THE EGO DENIES. This means that the ego attacks WHAT IS T 7 G 3 T(325)C 152
side WITH it, by guaranteeing that you will NOT know your T 7 G 4 T(325)C 152
because it senses the fact that all commitments which the mind T 7 G 6 T(326)C 153
It does NOT follow, however, that the mind cannot make illusions T 7 G 6 T(326)C 153
illusions. But it DOES follow that if it makes illusions it T 7 G 6 T(326)C 153
will BELIEVE in them, because THAT IS HOW IT MADE THEM T 7 G 6 T(326)C 153
as meaningless. We said before that the Holy Spirit perceives the T 7 G 7 T(326)C 153
He wants you to realize that BECAUSE conflict is meaningLESS it T 7 G 7 T(326)C 153
understood. WE have already said that understanding brings appreciation, and appreciationT 7 G 7 T(326)C 153
But you CANNOT deny that when you BELIEVE something you T 7 G 9 T(327)C 154
HIM. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego DOES believe it T 7 G 9 T(327)C 154
and tries to persuade you that YOU have done this. If T 7 G 9 T(327)C 154
perfectly logically to the position that YOU cannot be mind. By T 7 G 9 T(327)C 154
truth, because the truth is that IT is not true. If T 7 G 10 T(327)C 154
IS TRUE. While you believe that two totally contradictory thought systems T 7 G 10 T(327)C 154
in UNDERSTANDING, because they MEAN that you perceive WHAT you can T 7 G 11 T(328)C 155
knowledge of God. ANY belief that you accept which is APART T 7 G 12 T(328)C 155
attack them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of T 7 G 13 T(328)C 155
you do you are believing that it CAN be understood, and T 7 G 13 T(328)C 155
to enter your minds means that you have not judged sanity T 7 G 14 T(329)156
Holy Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you T 7 G 15 T(329)156
is Gods. And nothing that opposes this means anything at T 7 G 15 T(329)156
REALITY CANNOT BE PARTLY APPRECIATED. That is why denying any part T 7 H 1 T(330)C 157
T 7 H 2. That is the negative side of T 7 H 2 T(330)C 157
need Gods blessing, because that you have forever. But you T 7 H 4 T(331)C 158
You are NOT there, and that is not YOU. Do not T 7 H 4 T(331)C 158
were MADE together. Teach no-one that HE is what YOU do T 7 H 4 T(331)C 158
projecting YOUR rejection, you believe that others are TAKING IT FROM T 7 H 9 T(333)C 160
be fearful if he believes that his brother is attacking him T 7 H 9 T(333)C 160
trust. Projecting its insane belief that YOU have been treacherous to T 7 H 10 T(333)C 160
to YOUR Creator, it believes that your brothers, who are as T 7 H 10 T(333)C 160
to separate YOURSELF from God, that is what you will think T 7 H 10 T(334)C 161
everyone, and you will know that you are in Him WITH T 7 H 11 T(334)C 161
1. We once said that without projection there can be T 7 I 1 T(335)C 162
but it is also true that without projection there can be T 7 I 1 T(335)C 162
Every mind MUST project, because that is how it lives, and T 7 I 2 T(335)C 162
to find it so intolerable that you will INSIST on giving T 7 I 3 T(335)C 162
it tries to persuade you that IT can free you OF T 7 I 3 T(335)C 162
an attempt to persuade you that you have gotten RID of T 7 I 3 T(335)C 162
not really mean ANYTHING. Remember that a conflicted teacher is a T 7 I 4 T(335)C 162
second fallacy is the idea that you can GET RID of T 7 I 5 T(336)C 163
you KEEP it. The belief that by giving it OUT you T 7 I 5 T(336)C 163
T 7 I 6. That is why those who project T 7 I 6 T(336)C 163
OWN safety. THEY ARE AFRAID THAT THEIR PROJECTIONS WILL RETURN AND T 7 I 6 T(336)C 163
mind CANNOT attack. The belief that it CAN, a fallacy which T 7 I 7 T(336)C 163
to be undone completely, so that ALL their effects will vanish T 7 I 8 T(337)C 164
it was always a belief that is totally incredible. No-one can T 7 I 9 T(337)C 164
ego, the more you realize that it cannot BE believed. The T 7 I 9 T(337)C 164
course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and T 7 I 10 T(337)C 164
are deciding AGAINST the belief that you can BE alone, thus T 7 I 10 T(337)C 164
is of the Soul because that is how He created it T 7 J 2 T(337)C 164
the part of the mind that lies between the ego and T 7 J 2 T(337)C 164
if it were the part that is being sided AGAINST. T 7 J 2 T(337)C 164
is excluded. The soul KNOWS that the consciousness of all its T 7 J 2 T(338)C 165
sacrifice. Being MUST be extended. That is how it retains the T 7 J 3 T(338)C 165
C 66 That is why there is perfect T 7 J 5 T(339)C 66
reality, but no-one would claim that what it adds is true T 7 J 6 T(339)C 66
If it was His will that you have it forever, He T 7 J 7 T(339)C 66
Its radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect joy T 7 J 8 T(339)C 66
of its wholeness. Be confident that you have never lost your T 7 J 8 T(339)C 66
and of your own awareness that YOUR identification IS maintained by T 7 J 8 T(339)C 66
9. You have said that, when you write of the T 7 J 9 T(340)C 167
outcome. Is it not possible that you have done the same T 7 J 10 T(340)C 167
It is surely clear that you can both accept into T 7 J 11 T(340)C 167
However strange it may seem that this is necessary, it obviously T 7 K 2 T(341)C 168
there would BE no conflict. That is why you need to T 7 K 2 T(341)C 168
3. You REALLY believe that doing the opposite of God T 7 K 3 T(341)C 168
for you. You also believe that it is POSSIBLE to do T 7 K 3 T(341)C 168
s will. Therefore, you believe that an impossible choice IS open T 7 K 3 T(341)C 168
can this decision mean except that you WANT to be fearful T 7 K 4 T(342)C 169
But this does not mean that the GUIDE is untrustworthy. In T 7 K 5 T(342)C 169
this case, it ALWAYS means that the FOLLOWER IS. However, this T 7 K 5 T(342)C 169
of his own belief. Believing that HE can betray, he believes T 7 K 5 T(342)C 169
HE can betray, he believes that everything can betray HIM. But T 7 K 5 T(342)C 169
s Will. We said before that YOU are the will of T 7 K 6 T(342)C 169
the fallacy is to decide that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO T 7 K 6 T(342)C 169
what YOU will. This MEANS that you are confused about what T 7 K 8 T(343)C 170
desirable. By DEMONSTRATING to yourselves that THERE IS NO ORDER OF T 7 L 1 T(343)C 170
MIRACLES, you will convince yourselves that in your NATURAL state there T 7 L 1 T(343)C 170
knows he is WITH God. That is the only environment in T 7 L 2 T(344)C 171
will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. It T 7 L 2 T(344)C 171
is also the only environment that is worthy of him, because T 7 L 2 T(344)C 171
own worth is beyond ANYTHING that he can make. T T 7 L 2 T(344)C 171
loss? Does it teach him that this giving IS his joy T 7 L 3 T(344)C 171
giving IS his joy, and that God Himself thanks him for T 7 L 3 T(344)C 171
T 7 L 4. That is the only environment in T 7 L 4 T(344)C 171
upon you again to remember that I have chosen you to T 7 L 4 T(344)C 171
7. We said before that only the whole Sonship is T 7 L 7 T(345)C 172
you are denying yours AND THAT OF GOD WHO CREATED YOU T 7 L 7 T(345)C 172
FOR knowing, on the grounds that you do not know. The T 8 A 1 T(346)C 173
on behalf of a will that was not His. Knowledge IS T 8 A 2 T(346)C 173
you, but it is clear that you do NOT regard this T 8 A 2 T(346)C 173
so ALIEN to the Kingdom that you CANNOT understand the state T 8 B 1 T(347) C 174
learning aims at CHANGE, and that is ALWAYS its purpose, are T 8 B 2 T(347) C 174
learning failure, because it means that you did NOT get what T 8 B 2 T(347) C 174
4. The first change that MUST be introduced is a T 8 B 4 T(348)C 175
Their conflicted curriculum teaches them that ALL directions exist, and givesT 8 B 4 T(348)C 175
except for the crucial fact that both are teaching you about T 8 B 5 T(348)C 175
your reality is. If learning that is the PURPOSE of the T 8 C 1 T(348)C 175
T 8 C 4. That is why the ego IS T 8 C 4 T(349)C 176
teaches ONLY His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit T 8 C 4 T(349)C 176
Holy Spirits lesson, because that is what you ARE. The T 8 C 4 T(349)C 176
you ARE. The LESSON is that your will and Gods T 8 C 4 T(349)C 176
ego wants to teach you that you want to OPPOSE God T 8 C 5 T(349)C 176
a Son of God, KNOWING that the will of the Son T 8 C 5 T(349)C 176
disregard, or look beyond EVERYTHING that would hold you back. T 8 C 5 T(349)C 176
6. We said before that the Holy Spirit teaches you T 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
difference between pain and joy. That is the same as saying T 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
is the same as saying that He teaches you the difference T 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
MAKE THIS DISTINCTION WITHOUT HIM. That is because you have taught T 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
because you have taught YOURSELF that imprisonment IS freedom. Believing themT 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
the part of your mind that taught you to believe they T 8 C 6 T(349)C 176
you. When you have learned that your will IS Gods T 8 C 7 T(350)C 177
Ask for light and learn that you are light. If you T 8 D 1 T(350)C 177
to fulfill it perfectly, because that is His joy AND YOURS T 8 D 2 T(351)C 78
the only joy and peace that can be fully KNOWN, because T 8 D 2 T(351)C 78
it is the only function that can be FULLY EXPERIENCED. When T 8 D 2 T(351)C 78
this, but YOU do not. That is why you need Him T 8 D 3 T(351)C 78
the Holy Spirit teaches you that if you look only at T 8 D 6 T(352)C 179
you CANNOT find yourself because that is NOT what you are T 8 D 6 T(352)C 179
understand why you have believed that when you met someone else T 8 D 9 T(353)C 180
enter fully will teach you THAT THIS IS NOT SO. You T 8 D 9 T(353)C 180
from them. The ego teaches that your strength is in you T 8 D 9 T(353)C 180
ALONE. The Holy Spirit teaches that ALL strength is in God T 8 D 9 T(353)C 180
you have made, including YOURSELF. That is why He has given T 8 D 10 T(353)C 180
s gift to you because that is what HE is. See T 8 D 11 T(353)C 180
illusion. I have told you that I am with you always T 8 E 2 T(354)C 181
the end of the world. That is WHY I am the T 8 E 2 T(354)C 181
the world IS the belief that love is impossible. YOUR reactions T 8 E 5 T(355)C 182
you will accept the fact that I am with you, you T 8 E 5 T(355)C 182
will be meaningless to you. That is why rehabilitation is a T 8 E 6 T(355)C 182
unless you collaborate by believing that I KNOW what to do T 8 E 6 T(355)C 182
I will help you, knowing that we ARE alike. If you T 8 E 10 T(356)C 183
lesson I can teach, knowing that it is true. T T 8 E 10 T(356)C 183
Our Fathers. This means that you have imprisoned YOURS, and T 8 E 11 T(356)C 183
a DELUSION. The delusional believe that truth will ASSAIL them, and T 8 E 15 T(357)C 184
learn this as you learn that there is no separation of T 8 E 17 T(358)C 185
you are signifying your awareness that the Will of God is T 8 E 18 T(358)C 185
power in you, but in that lies ALL truth. As WE T 8 E 18 T(358)C 185
BEYOND the ego. By willing that, you HAVE gone beyond it T 8 E 19 T(358)C 185
am come to tell you that the choice of which is T 8 F 3 T(359)C 186
in anything except the eternal. That is not because he is T 8 F 4 T(360)C 187
There is no other gift that is eternal, and therefore THERE T 8 F 6 T(360)C 187
THERE IS NO OTHER GIFT THAT IS TRUE. T 8 T 8 F 6 T(360)C 187
His Fatherhood to you so that you can extend yourself AS T 8 F 8 T(361)C 188
powerless only in a way that has NO MEANING AT ALL T 8 F 9 T(361)C 188
their thought is so powerful that they can even imprison the T 8 F 9 T(361)C 188
not will to be alone. That is why He created His T 8 F 10 T(362)C 189
without distance, to a goal that has never changed. T T 8 F 11 T(362)C 189
it simply by the belief that attack can GET YOU SOMETHING T 8 G 1 T(363)C 190
himself off from salvation. Remember that the Holy Spirit interprets the T 8 G 2 T(363)C 190
teach them THROUGH the body that THIS IS NOT SO, you T 8 G 3 T(363)C 190
the power of the mind that is in both of you T 8 G 3 T(363)C 190
He knows the ONLY reality that ANYTHING can have is the T 8 G 4 T(364)C 191
G 7. Rejoice, then, that of yourselves you can do T 8 G 7 T(365)C 192
8 G 8. Remember that the Bible says, The word T 8 G 8 T(365)C 192
relationship to each other, so that it appears to be ruled T 8 G 10 T(365)C 192
is whole, and the belief that part of it is physical T 8 G 11 T(366)C 193
to entertain even the possibility that joy could POSSIBLY result, is T 8 G 17 T(368)C 195
your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its T 8 G 19 T(368)C 195
with the body, it teaches that YOU are to attack with T 8 H 1 T(369)C 196
constellations. Knowledge never changes, so that its constellation is permanent. TheT 8 H 2 T(369)C 196
outstanding characteristic of every end that the ego has accepted as T 8 H 3 T(370)C 197
to another without ceasing, so that YOU will continue to hope T 8 H 3 T(370)C 197
the egos firm belief that you are NOT invulnerable? This T 8 H 4 T(370)C 197
because you do not realize that it IS entirely out of T 8 H 4 T(370)C 197
SPIRIT. We have said before that judgment IS the function of T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
ALLY. It is still true that the body has no function T 8 H 5 T(371)C 198
true. These are specifically first that the body is for attack T 8 H 6 T(371)C 198
is for attack, and also that you ARE a body. Without T 8 H 6 T(371)C 198
is a way of demonstrating that YOU CAN BE HURT. It T 8 H 6 T(371)C 198
you feel. When we said that the ego DOES NOT KNOW T 8 H 8 T(372)C 199
one thing about the ego that is wholly true. But there T 8 H 8 T(372)C 199
1. We once said that the Holy Spirit is the T 8 I 1 T(373)C 200
accept the egos belief that the body is the proper T 8 I 1 T(373)C 200
aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy Spirit teach you T 8 I 1 T(373)C 200
because It is so powerful that your little part WILL bring T 8 I 2 T(374)C 201
error, for if He taught that one form of sickness is T 8 I 5 T(374)C 201
another, He would be teaching that one error can be more T 8 I 5 T(374)C 201
But the ego actually believes that it is PROTECTING it. This T 8 I 6 T(375)C 202
This is because it believes that MIND IS DANGEROUS, and that T 8 I 6 T(375)C 202
that MIND IS DANGEROUS, and that to MAKE MINDLESS is to T 8 I 6 T(375)C 202
You have begun to realize that this is a very practical T 8 I 7 T(375)C 202
to the outcomes of love that should be taken literally because T 8 I 7 T(375)C 202
do, and it is impossible that I could do things YOU T 8 I 9 T(375)C 202
NOT of one mind, and that IS sickness. But sickness is T 8 I 9 T(376)C 203
of DISfunction are merely signs that the mind has split, and T 8 I 9 T(376)C 203
heal it. We said before that your task is only to T 8 I 10 T(376)C 203
one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has ever T 8 J 1 T(377)C 204
really is. It is apparent that reality CANNOT threaten anything except T 8 J 1 T(377)C 204
UPHOLD truth. The very fact that the will of God, which T 8 J 1 T(377)C 204
as fearful TO you demonstrates that you ARE afraid of what T 8 J 1 T(377)C 204
NOT the egos, and that is why the ego is T 8 J 1 T(377)C 204
if you have ALREADY DECIDED that what you are is FEARFUL T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
FEARFUL, then it MUST follow that you will NOT LEARN THIS T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
COURSE. But you might remember that the reason FOR the course T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
reason FOR the course is that you do NOT know who T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
know what truth IS. All that this kind of association means T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
kind of association means is that you are arbitrarily endowing something T 8 J 2 T(377)C 204
It is evident, then, that you are judging something of T 8 J 3 T(377)C 204
this strange situation up so that it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to T 8 J 3 T(377)C 204
help you. When we said that the Holy Spirits function T 8 J 3 T(377)C 204
in your unconscious, we meant that He has the power to T 8 J 3 T(377)C 204
what the Holy Spirit sees that you can possibly HAVE. We T 8 J 4 T(378)C 205
We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will never T 8 J 4 T(378)C 205
Holy Spirit MUST remind you that this is not Gods T 8 J 4 T(378)C 205
divided wills, you would recognize that willing is salvation because it T 8 J 5 T(378)C 205
can communicate through creation, because that, and only that, IS your T 8 J 5 T(378)C 205
creation, because that, and only that, IS your joint will. Divided T 8 J 5 T(378)C 205
ask for. You may insist that the Holy Spirit does not T 8 J 6 T(378)C 205
nothing more than the belief that it is DIFFERENT. NO mind T 8 J 7 T(378)C 205
DIFFERENT. NO mind can believe that its will is STRONGER than T 8 J 7 T(378)C 205
If, then, a mind believes that ITS will is different FROM T 8 J 7 T(378)C 205
it can only decide either that there IS no God, or T 8 J 7 T(378)C 205
there IS no God, or that GODs WILL IS FEARFUL T 8 J 7 T(378)C 205
doctrines which hold that God demands sacrifices of ANY T 8 J 7 T(379)C 206
alone and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him. Both T 8 J 8 T(379)C 206
against retaliation. The atheist maintains that God has left him, but T 8 J 8 T(379)C 206
very ANGRY, if anyone suggests that God has NOT left him T 8 J 8 T(379)C 206
aware of guilt, and believing that punishment is inevitable, attempts to T 8 J 8 T(379)C 206
The truth is, very simply, that NO-ONE WANTS EITHER ABANDONMENT OR T 8 J 9 T(379)C 206
but it is still true that they do NOT want it T 8 J 9 T(379)C 206
incapable of giving YOU anything that does NOT come from God T 8 J 9 T(379)C 206
This recognition IS the recognition that HIS WILL AND GODs T 8 J 10 T(379)C 206
attempting the impossible, and believed that to ACHIEVE it is SUCCESS T 8 J 12 T(380)C 207
it is SUCCESS? The belief that you MUST HAVE THE IMPOSSIBLE T 8 J 12 T(380)C 207
Creation. God COULD not will that happiness DEPENDED on what you T 8 J 12 T(380)C 207
J 13. The fact that God is love does not T 8 J 13 T(380)C 207
As long as you believe that fear is possible, YOU WILL T 8 J 15 T(381)C 208
J 16. Remember, then, that Gods Will is ALREADY T 8 J 16 T(381)C 208
be incorrectly interpreted as proof that the course does not mean T 8 K 1 T(382)- 209
says. But you must remember that the course does state, and T 8 K 1 T(382)- 209
course does state, and REPEATEDLY, that its purpose is the ESCAPE T 8 K 1 T(382)- 209
Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the T 8 K 2 T(382)- 209
what you really want, but that YOU ARE STILL AFRAID OF T 8 K 2 T(382)- 209
healing IS. It frequently happens that an individual asks for physical T 8 K 2 T(382)- 209
3. The Bible emphasizes that ALL prayers are answered, and T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the Holy T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
But it is equally certain that no response, given by the T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
fear. It is even possible that His answer will not be T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
all. It is IMpossible, however, that it will be lost. There T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
YET HEARD. I assure you that they are waiting for you T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
you. It is indeed true that no effort is wasted. T 8 K 3 T(382)- 209
the message YOU receive. Remember that the Holy Spirit is in T 8 K 5 T(383)210
the Holy Spirit, or believe that it is for YOU, unless T 8 K 7 T(383)210
you, and you will learn that my belief in you is T 8 K 9 T(384)211
But you will have forgotten that to price is to VALUE T 8 K 11 T(385) 212
price is to VALUE, so that YOUR return is IN PROPORTION T 8 K 11 T(385) 212
OF VALUE, making it inevitable that you will NOT value what T 8 K 12 T(385) 212
WANT it. Never forget, then, that YOU have set the value T 8 K 12 T(385) 212
what you give. To believe that it is possible to get T 8 K 12 T(385) 212
FOR little, is to believe that you can bargain with God T 8 K 12 T(385) 212
brother, you are telling him that he is WRONG. He may T 9 A 2 T(386)213
time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from T 9 A 2 T(386)213
not attempt to understand ANYTHING that arises from it. Since He T 9 A 3 T(386)213
DOES NOT JUDGE IT, KNOWING that nothing it engenders MEANS ANYTHING T 9 A 3 T(386)213
this different from telling you that what you teach you LEARN T 9 B 2 T(387)214
not come from the truth that is in him, and ONLY T 9 B 3 T(387)214
to correct a brother, means that you believe correction by YOU T 9 B 5 T(387)214
of healing in time, because that is what time is FOR T 9 B 6 T(388)215
way to UNDO the belief that ANYTHING is for you ALONE T 9 C 1 T(388)215
see HIM falsely. Remember always that your identity is shared, and T 9 C 1 T(388)215
your identity is shared, and that its sharing IS its reality T 9 C 1 T(388)215
further error to think either that you do NOT make them T 9 C 2 T(388)215
do NOT make them, or that you can CORRECT them without T 9 C 2 T(388)215
mysteries, and begins to insist that you accept the meaningless, to T 9 C 5 T(389)216
this in my name, forgetting that my words make PERFECT sense T 9 C 5 T(389)216
ideas which are eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of ME does T 9 C 5 T(389)216
or you will also believe that you must UNDO what you T 9 C 6 T(389)216
IN ALL RESPECTS, He teaches that the ego does not exist T 9 C 6 T(389)216
390) 217 That is what we meant when T 9 C 6 T(390)217
meant when we once said that miracles are NATURAL, and when T 9 C 6 T(390)217
in recognition of the FACT that you do NOT know what T 9 C 6 T(390)217
so typical of the ego, that you should be quite familiar T 9 C 7 T(390)217
by now. The ego believes that ALL functions belong to IT T 9 C 7 T(390)217
combination of grandiosity AND confusion, that makes it likely that the T 9 C 7 T(390)217
confusion, that makes it likely that the ego will attack anyone T 9 C 7 T(390)217
to have to emphasize repeatedly that the egos qualifications as T 9 C 8 T(390)217
guide are singularly unfortunate, and that it is a remarkably poor T 9 C 8 T(390)217
himself. It is not true that you do not know the T 9 C 9 T(390)217
reality. But it is CERTAIN that he will NEVER find satisfaction T 9 C 10 T(391)218
find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his ONLY hope is to T 9 C 10 T(391)218
REALITY. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is WRONG T 9 C 10 T(391)218
right. And I ASSURE you that God IS right. T T 9 C 10 T(391)218
11. Be glad, then, that you HAVE been wrong, but T 9 C 11 T(391)218
with the equally incredible idea that HE really believes in attack T 9 D 1 T(392)219
We have repeatedly stated that beliefs of the ego CANNOT T 9 D 2 T(392)219
awareness, but ONLY to teach that they are NOT real, and T 9 D 2 T(392)219
they are NOT real, and that ANYTHING they contain is meaningless T 9 D 2 T(392)219
4. It is understandable that there has been a revolt T 9 D 4 T(392)219
is DENIED. It is noteworthy that this is a contradiction even T 9 D 5 T(393)220
not working CORRECTIVELY. He believes that it is up to him T 9 D 6 T(393)220
who MUST decide with God that there IS light BECAUSE HE T 9 D 9 T(394)221
T 9 D 10. That is how perception ultimately is T 9 D 10 T(394)221
YOU DO NOT INTERFERE. Remember that you

---
T 9 D 11 T(394)221
NOT help. But remember also that THE RIGHT ONE WILL. Trust T 9 D 11 T(395)222
not yourself, you will understand that you are not obeying the T 9 D 12 T(395)222
laws of this world, but that the laws you ARE obeying T 9 D 12 T(395)222
do it, you will SEE that it works. Its RESULTS are T 9 D 12 T(395)222
words. THEY will convince you that the words are true. T 9 D 12 T(395)222
must be SOMETHING IN YOU that IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING IT T 9 E 1 T(396) 223
joy, and if you see that it DOES produce joy in T 9 E 1 T(396) 223
It seems to you that the Holy Spirit does not T 9 E 2 T(396) 223
only witnesses to your reality THAT YOU CAN RECOGNIZE.
T 9 E 7 T(397)224
separated. When you have learned that they ARE the same, the T 9 E 7 T(398)- 225
you. You will never know that you are co-creator with God T 9 E 9 T(398)- 225
with God, until you learn that your brother is a co-creator T 9 E 9 T(398)- 225
happiness NOW. Is it possible that this is not also YOUR T 9 F 2 T(398)- 225
will? And is it possible that this is not ALSO the T 9 F 2 T(398)- 225
of your brothers? Consider, then, that in this joint will, you T 9 F 2 T(398)- 225
very simple, and so obvious that it is often overlooked. That T 9 F 3 T(399)- 226
that it is often overlooked. That is because the ego is T 9 F 3 T(399)- 226
LOOKING. It is PERFECTLY obvious that if the Holy Spirit looks T 9 F 3 T(399)- 226
best, and viciousness at worst. That is its range. It cannot T 9 F 4 T(399)- 226
What can this mean, except that you are AGREEING with the T 9 F 6 T(400)- 227
TO QUESTION. We said before that the ego does not know T 9 F 8 T(400)- 227
is not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it MEANS anything T 9 F 9 T(400)- 227
about YOU is so lofty that nothing that is unworthy of T 9 F 10 T(401)228
is so lofty that nothing that is unworthy of God is T 9 F 10 T(401)228
these terms, and accept nothing that you would not offer to T 9 F 10 T(401)228
understand this, the ego believes that its enemy has struck, and T 9 G 1 T(401)228
littleness, based on the belief THAT THE LITTLENESS IS REAL. WITHOUT T 9 G 2 T(401)228
to UNdo. We said before that the ego vacillates between suspiciousness T 9 G 2 T(401)228
its own. We once said that the ego IS aware of T 9 G 3 T(402)229
release. It will tell you that you are insane, and argue T 9 G 5 T(402)229
you are insane, and argue that grandeur CANNOT be a real T 9 G 5 T(402)229
G 6. Remember always that you cannot be anywhere EXCEPT T 9 G 6 T(402)229
And what can be real that has NO witnesses? What good T 9 G 9 T(403)230
IS arrogant, because it means that you believe that YOUR evaluation T 9 G 11 T(404)231
it means that you believe that YOUR evaluation of yourself is T 9 G 11 T(404)231
question of your being, so that you can cease to question T 9 G 12 T(404)231
as long as you believe that ANYTHING that happens to you T 9 H 1 T(405)- 232
as you believe that ANYTHING that happens to you is caused T 9 H 1 T(405)- 232
OUTSIDE yourself. You must learn that time is solely at YOUR T 9 H 1 T(405)- 232
solely at YOUR disposal, and that nothing in the world can T 9 H 1 T(405)- 232
do. But nothing is added that is different, because everything has T 9 H 2 T(405)- 232
Your holy will establishes EVERYTHING that happens to you. Every response T 9 H 3 T(405)- 232
you would be LIKE Him. That is why your will is T 9 H 3 T(405)- 232
know YOUR creations is simply that you would decide against them T 9 H 5 T(406)- 233
created is impossible. But remember that IT IS AS IMPOSSIBLE FOR T 9 H 5 T(406)- 233
The law of Creation is that you love your creations as T 9 H 5 T(406)- 233
ARE PART OF YOU. Everything that was created is therefore PERFECTLY T 9 H 5 T(406)- 233
Any part of your mind that does not know this, has T 9 H 5 T(406)- 233
this recognition lies the realization that your banishment is not of T 9 H 6 T(406)- 233
know, from your own experience, that what you see in dreams T 9 H 6 T(406)- 233
instant you waken, you KNOW that everything that SEEMED to happen T 9 H 6 T(406)- 233
waken, you KNOW that everything that SEEMED to happen DID NOT T 9 H 6 T(406)- 233
Is it not possible that you merely shifted from one T 9 H 7 T(406)- 233
BOTH TOGETHER, if you discovered that REALITY is in accord with T 9 H 7 T(406)- 233
you do NOT remember yet that it once was so, and T 9 H 7 T(406)- 233
it is in this remembering that you will know it can T 9 H 7 T(406)- 233
acceptance. Give up gladly EVERYTHING that would stand in the way T 9 I 2 T(407)- 234
His Voice will tell you that you are part of Him T 9 I 2 T(407)- 234
You are specifically teaching yourself that you are NOT what you T 9 I 4 T(408)- 235
ITS PLACE. If you understand that the misuse of defenses always T 9 I 4 T(408)- 235
fearful. If you further recognize that you are PART of God T 9 I 4 T(408)- 235
also understand why it is that YOU ALWAYS ATTACK YOURSELF FIRST T 9 I 4 T(408)- 235
only because you still believe that it can GET YOU SOMETHING T 9 I 6 T(408)- 235
YOU WANT. It follows, then, that you want something OTHER than T 9 I 6 T(408)- 235
And it is THIS vigilance that makes you afraid to remember T 9 I 6 T(408)- 235
it is a sure sign that you hate what you think T 9 I 7 T(409)- 236
His power through YOU? Remember that it does not matter where T 9 I 8 T(409)- 236
because it is the awareness that no-one is separate, and so T 9 I 9 T(409)- 236
no-one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can T 9 I 9 T(409)- 236
be sick is to believe that PART OF GOD CAN SUFFER T 9 I 9 T(409)- 236
are too divided to know that Creation SHARES power, and NEVER T 9 I 11 T(410)- 237
because it is the belief that POWER CAN BE TAKEN FROM T 9 I 11 T(410)- 237
maker thinks HE is. And that is exactly what the ego T 9 I 11 T(410)- 237
because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of T 9 I 13 T(410)- 237
It is not my merit that I contribute to you, but T 9 I 13 T(410)- 237
and it is this value that makes you whole. A whole T 9 I 15 T(410)- 237
learn this as you learn that you ALWAYS receive as much T 9 I 15 T(411)- 238
serve them, because you believe that THEY MADE YOU. You think T 9 I 16 T(411)- 238
onto them the fearful fact that YOU MADE THEM TO REPLACE T 9 I 16 T(411)- 238
to speak to you, remember that NOTHING can replace God, and T 9 I 16 T(411)- 238
afraid of NOTHING. And in THAT awareness you ARE healed. T 9 I 16 T(411)- 238
REPLACEMENT. He is the belief that YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH GOD T 9 I 19 T(412)- 239
Although it is perfectly clear that this has nothing to do T 9 I 19 T(412)- 239
REALITY, it is equally clear that it has EVERYTHING to do T 9 I 19 T(412)- 239
All religion is the recognition that the irreconcilable cannot BE reconciledT 9 J 1 T(412)- 239
sick, because to perceive it that way, is not to perceive T 9 J 4 T(412)- 239
- sign that you have removed part of T 9 J 4 T(413)- 240
s Will, and this MEANS that it is out of control T 9 J 4 T(413)- 240
BY His laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them does T 9 J 5 T(413)- 240
is so unworthy of you, that you could hardly want it T 9 J 7 T(413)- 240
are of One Mind, and that Mind

---
T 9 J 8 T(413)- 240
because it is the recognition that his brother CAN do it T 9 J 9 T(414)- 241
allegiance to him. Depression MEANS that you have foresworn God. Men T 9 K 1 T(415)- 242
means. They do not realize that, to deny God, is to T 9 K 1 T(415)- 242
can really DO this, but that you can THINK you can T 9 K 1 T(415)- 242
Do not forget, however, that to deny God will inevitably T 9 K 2 T(415)- 242
projection, and you will believe that others, AND NOT YOURSELF, have T 9 K 2 T(415)- 242
you WANT. You may believe that you judge your brothers by T 9 K 2 T(415)- 242
see the spark in them, that could bring joy to YOU T 9 K 2 T(415)- 242
the DENIAL of the spark that brings depression, and whenever you T 9 K 2 T(415)- 242
not God destructive. It means that you are willing NOT to T 9 K 3 T(415)- 242
would not accept the fact that, although he was a creator T 9 K 4 T(416)- 243
his Help. We said before that of yourselves you can do T 9 K 4 T(416)- 243
you did not make yourselves, that you need be troubled by T 9 K 5 T(416)- 243
God will help you, knowing that you could not sin against T 9 K 6 T(416)- 243
BECAUSE you loved Him, knowing that if you RECOGNIZED your love T 9 K 6 T(416)- 243
Him. Your denial therefore MEANS that you love Him, and THAT T 9 K 6 T(416)- 243
that you love Him, and THAT YOU KNOW HE LOVES YOU T 9 K 6 T(416)- 243
KNOW HE LOVES YOU. Remember that what you deny you MUST T 9 K 6 T(416)- 243
acknowledge Him, you will KNOW that He has never ceased to T 9 K 8 T(416)- 243
ceased to acknowledge you, and that in

---
T 9 K 8 T(416)- 243
confuse your self with things that do. Remember, though, that to T 9 K 8 T(417)- 244
things that do. Remember, though, that to do this IS blasphemy T 9 K 8 T(417)- 244
IS blasphemy, for it means that you are looking without love T 9 K 8 T(417)- 244
He offer His Son anything that is not acceptable to Him T 9 K 8 T(417)- 244
never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His T 9 K 10 T(417)- 244
Mind of God. To know that is sanity. To deny it T 9 K 10 T(417)- 244
God created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn T 9 K 12 T(418)245
as part of the Sonship, THAT IS HOW YOU MUST SEE T 9 K 12 T(418)245
are given in His Name. That is why your creations are T 9 K 13 T(418)245
to be known. You believe that the sick things which you T 9 K 13 T(418)245
real creations, because you believe that the sick images you perceive T 9 K 13 T(418)245
His Fatherhood GAVE you everything. That is why to deny Him T 9 K 14 T(418)245
IS true in time, so that, while time lasts in YOUR T 9 K 14 T(418)245
SIDES fairly, you will realize that this MUST be true. Neither T 10 A 1 T(419)- 246
opposed in all respects, so that partial allegiance is impossible. But T 10 A 1 T(419)- 246
allegiance is impossible. But remember that their results are as different T 10 A 1 T(419)- 246
does with perfect honesty. Yet that IS its insane premise, which T 10 A 2 T(419)- 246
is light. Remember the rays that are there unseen. The more T 10 B 1 T(419)- 246
light. There you will see that it rests on meaninglessness, and T 10 B 1 T(419)- 246
it rests on meaninglessness, and that everything of which you have T 10 B 1 T(419)- 246
us. Do you REALLY believe that part of God can be T 10 B 4 T(421)- 248
time, but not in Eternity. That is why your creations have T 10 B 5 T(421)- 248
time behind, simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings wereT 10 B 6 T(421)- 248
created, and so you believe that ALL creation is limited. How T 10 B 6 T(421)- 248
is His. It follows, then, that YOU will to create, since T 10 B 10 T(423)250
not strange, when you realize that to deny IS to not T 10 B 10 T(423)250
know. Gods Will was that you are His Son. By T 10 B 10 T(423)250
cannot be too often repeated that you do NOT KNOW it T 10 B 11 T(423)250
because this is the belief that makes you want not to T 10 B 12 T(423)250
darkness, denying that the Light is in YOU T 10 B 12 T(424)251
for God, but never forget that God did not will to T 10 B 13 T(424)251
it UPON you. Always remember that what He gives He holds T 10 B 13 T(424)251
He gives He holds, so that nothing He gives CAN contradict T 10 B 13 T(424)251
Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of T 10 B 13 T(424)251
Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. T T 10 B 13 T(424)251
Gods Will is that His Son be One, and T 10 B 14 T(424)251
with Him in His Oneness. That is why healing is the T 10 B 14 T(424)251
the beginning of the recognition that YOUR WILL IS HIS. T 10 B 14 T(424)251
your OWN mind, teaches you that you are Gods Son T 10 C 4 T(424)251
WANTS. Healing is a sign that HE WANTS TO MAKE WHOLE T 10 C 5 T(425)252
for you have surely learned that whom you invite as your T 10 C 6 T(426)253
your care is a sign that you WANT Him. Think like T 10 C 6 T(426)253
spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that T 10 C 6 T(426)253
that fills your mind so that He becomes your only Guest T 10 C 6 T(426)253
your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The T 10 C 8 T(426)253
will lighten it so much, that you will gladly extend it T 10 C 8 T(426)253
suffer in ANY way, for that is not Gods Will T 10 D 1 T(427)- 254
you will see such beauty that you will KNOW it is T 10 D 3 T(427)- 254
be so filled with joy that it will leap into Heaven T 10 D 3 T(427)- 254
you, and remind you often, that what God wills for Himself T 10 D 3 T(427)- 254
of which God knows nothing. THAT way is hard indeed, and T 10 D 4 T(427)- 254
and gave him the Light that shines in him. You will T 10 D 5 T(428)255
of a Light so great that it can sweep you out T 10 D 5 T(428)255
tempted to deny Him, remember that there ARE no other Gods T 10 D 6 T(428)255
there ARE no other Gods that you CAN place before Him T 10 D 6 T(428)255
to give you the peace that is yours. GIVE His peace T 10 D 6 T(428)255
is yours. GIVE His peace that you may enter the temple T 10 D 6 T(428)255
or you will not know that you are there. For what T 10 D 6 T(428)255
E 1. Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation T 10 E 1 T(430)- 257
your Soul by its Creator, that you might EXTEND it. But T 10 E 1 T(430)- 257
deny the Father, WITHOUT believing that the Father has denied HIM T 10 E 2 T(430)- 257
look ONLY to the power that God gave you to save T 10 E 2 T(430)- 257
you to save you, remembering that it is yours BECAUSE it T 10 E 2 T(430)- 257
brother off from the Light that is yours? You could not T 10 E 3 T(430)- 257
do so, if you realized that YOU CAN ONLY DARKEN YOUR T 10 E 3 T(430)- 257
so will YOUR mind return. That is the law of God T 10 E 3 T(430)- 257
dawn of light. Remember also that the denial of this simple T 10 E 4 T(430)- 257
difficult, at first, to realize that this is EXACTLY
T 10 E 5 T(430)- 257
T 10 E 6. That is why blame must be T 10 E 6 T(431)258
for otherwise you will believe that the door is barred, and T 10 E 6 T(431)258
together we have the lamp that will dispel it, and since T 10 F 1 T(433) 260
but the removal of all that STANDS IN THE WAY of T 10 F 2 T(433) 260
have learned surely by now, that FEAR IS NOT REAL. We T 10 F 2 T(433) 260
have accepted the fact already that its EFFECTS can be dispelled T 10 F 2 T(433) 260
step is obviously to recognize that WHAT HAS NO EFFECTS DOES T 10 F 2 T(433) 260
in ego dynamics, by understanding that the term itself does not T 10 F 3 T(433) 260
exactly the contradiction in terms that MAKES it meaningless. Dynamics impliesT 10 F 3 T(433) 260
fallacy lies in the belief that the ego HAS the power T 10 F 3 T(433) 260
which is so clearly senseless that any effort exerted on its T 10 F 4 T(434)- 261
of what it IS. Everything that stems from the ego is T 10 F 5 T(434)- 261
RESULTS, is merely to recognize that their SOURCE is NOT natural T 10 F 5 T(434)- 261
6. We once said that to will contrary to God T 10 F 6 T(434)- 261
HIS Autonomy. Can YOU believe that autonomy is meaningful APART from T 10 F 6 T(434)- 261
must learn to recognize is that the LAST thing the ego T 10 F 8 T(435)262
wishes you to realize, is THAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF IT T 10 F 8 T(435)262
claim to your allegiance is that it can GIVE power to T 10 F 8 T(435)262
existence continue, if you realize that by accepting it, you ARE T 10 F 8 T(435)262
F 10. YOUR recognition that whatever seems to separate you T 10 F 10 T(435)262
By believing that you have successfully attacked truth T 10 F 10 T(436) 263
attacked truth, YOU ARE BELIEVING THAT ATTACK HAS POWER. Very simply T 10 F 10 T(436) 263
IN TRUTH. The ego believes that to accomplish ITS goal IS T 10 F 12 T(436) 263
is given YOU to know that GODs function IS yours T 10 F 12 T(436) 263
your joint will. Recognize only that the egos goal, which T 10 F 12 T(436) 263
it becomes difficult to maintain that FEAR is happiness. T T 10 F 12 T(436) 263
only the insane could believe that love can be gained by T 10 F 13 T(436) 263
ATTACK. But the sane KNOW that only attack COULD produce fear T 10 F 13 T(436) 263
ego to everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power T 10 F 14 T(437)- 264
forget that the ego believes that power, understanding AND TRUTH lie T 10 F 14 T(437)- 264
belief it MUST attack. Unaware that the belief cannot BE established T 10 F 14 T(437)- 264
and obsessed with the conviction that separation IS salvation, the ego T 10 F 14 T(437)- 264
with characteristically circular reasoning, concludes that, BECAUSE of the mistake, consistentT 10 F 15 T(437)- 264
step in its thought system; that error is real, and TRUTH T 10 F 15 T(437)- 264
remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for T 10 F 18 T(438)265
unworthy, for nothing can prove that a lie is true. What T 10 F 18 T(438)265
the ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist T 10 F 18 T(438)265
Their silence is the sign that they have beheld Gods T 10 F 18 T(438)265
and it is His words that THEY speak. T 10 T 10 F 18 T(438)265
not until beliefs are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then T 10 G 1 T(439)266
you believe you DO see. That is what I meant when T 10 G 1 T(439)266
only distortions which YOU introduce that tire you. Let the Christ T 10 G 3 T(439)266
the God Who created him. That is why his slavery is T 10 G 5 T(441)268
god of the crucifixion demands that he crucify, and his worshippers T 10 G 5 T(441)268
name they crucify THEMSELVES, believing that the power of the Son T 10 G 5 T(441)268
power lies in the fact that it represents what YOU want T 10 G 6 T(441)268
freedom to leave behind everything that hurts you and humbles you T 10 G 6 T(441)268
Father has given you all that is His, and He Himself T 10 G 6 T(441)268
the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in vain. Teach T 10 G 7 T(441)268
died in vain. Teach rather that I did NOT die by T 10 G 7 T(441)268
did NOT die by demonstrating that I live IN YOU. For T 10 G 7 T(441)268
as long as you believe that YOU can crucify him you T 10 G 8 T(442)269
or you will not perceive that I have done them UNTO T 10 G 9 T(442)269
and unless you give all that you have received, you will T 10 G 9 T(442)269
received, you will not know that your Redeemer liveth and that T 10 G 9 T(442)269
that your Redeemer liveth and that YOU have awakened WITH Him T 10 G 9 T(442)269
of me. If you believe that YOURS is limited, YOU are T 10 G 10 T(442)269
merely to perceive again, implying that before YOU WERE NOT PERCEIVING T 10 H 1 T(443)- 270
What, then, is the world that awaits your perception WHEN YOU T 10 H 1 T(443)- 270
SEE IT? Every loving thought that the Son of God ever T 10 H 1 T(443)- 270
perceptions, because he still believes that he is separate, yet they T 10 H 1 T(443)- 270
can ACTUALLY BE PERCEIVED. All that is necessary is a willingness T 10 H 2 T(443)- 270
good, but never ONLY good. That is WHY its perceptions are T 10 H 2 T(443)- 270
but it always ADDS something that is NOT real TO the T 10 H 2 T(443)- 270
in what you have made that IS true, IS like Him T 10 H 3 T(443)- 270
do you will not know that it is yours already. T 10 H 3 T(443)- 270
YOU have created. To believe that you can perceive the real T 10 H 4 T(444)- 271
real world is to believe that you can know yourself. You T 10 H 4 T(444)- 271
The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved T 10 H 4 T(444)- 271
because it is the recognition that reality is ONLY WHAT IS T 10 H 4 T(444)- 271
Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the T 10 H 5 T(444)- 271
end, teaches nothing more than that only reality is true is T 10 H 5 T(444)- 271
real world, you will recognize that you did NOT believe it T 10 H 5 T(444)- 271
only an instant to realize that this judgment is true. And T 10 H 5 T(444)- 271
little children. Little children recognize that they do not understand whatT 10 H 6 T(444)- 271
make the mistake of believing that YOU understand what YOU perceive T 10 H 6 T(444)- 271
is yours already. You complain that this course is not sufficiently T 10 H 8 T(445)- 272
to be told very clearly, that if you ask you WILL T 10 H 8 T(445)- 272
as long as you believe that problems ARE specific. His answer T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
as long as you believe that the One IS many. Realize T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
the One IS many. Realize that YOU ARE AFRAID OF HIS T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
by asking will you learn that nothing that is of God T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
will you learn that nothing that is of God demands ANYTHING T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
to ask, because you believe that asking is TAKING, and you T 10 H 9 T(445)- 272
the QUESTION. You have believed that to ask for guidance of T 10 H 10 T(445)- 272
You believe in a world that takes because you believe that T 10 H 10 T(446)- 273
that takes because you believe that you can get by taking T 10 H 10 T(446)- 273
get by taking. But BY that perception, you have lost sight T 10 H 10 T(446)- 273
only thus can you learn that His answer IS the release T 10 H 11 T(446)- 273
Heaven IS within you. Believe that the truth is in me T 10 H 11 T(446)- 273
in me, for I KNOW that it is in YOU. God T 10 H 11 T(446)- 273
his reality, for by denying that his mind is split, YOU T 10 H 12 T(446)- 273
only their LACK OF UNDERSTANDING that frightens them, and when they T 10 H 17 T(448)- 275
Spirit, Who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit T 10 H 18 T(448)- 275
HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. Understand that you do not respond to T 11 A 1 T(449)- 276
the JUSTIFICATION for the response. That is why analyzing the motives T 11 A 1 T(449)- 276
to YOU. If you decide that someone is REALLY trying to T 11 A 1 T(449)- 276
is demonstrated by the fact that you REACT to your interpretations T 11 A 2 T(449)- 276
one interpretation of ALL motivation that makes any sense, and, because T 11 B 1 T(449)- 276
appeal for healing and help. That is what it IS, regardless T 11 B 1 T(449)- 276
this by no means signifies that it is not perfectly clear T 11 B 2 T(449)- 276
450) 277 that an appeal for help is T 11 B 2 T(450) 277 -
ATTACK. It is only THIS that makes you willing to engage T 11 B 2 T(450) 277 -
REFUSING help. Would you maintain that you do not NEED it T 11 B 4 T(450) 277 -
will gain an increasing awareness that HIS criteria are equally applicableT 11 B 7 T(452)279
help, He has taught you that FEAR is an appeal for T 11 B 8 T(452)279
it, HE will re-interpret it. That is the ultimate value TO T 11 B 8 T(452)279
love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are inevitably T 11 B 8 T(452)279
as the call for help that it IS, the REALITY of T 11 B 8 T(452)279
removed. Thereby you teach yourself that fear does not exist IN T 11 C 1 T(452)279
attests to your eternal knowledge that union is true.
T 11 C 3 T(453)- 280
are asking for the love that would heal them, but which T 11 C 4 T(454)- 281
must shine into theirs, because that light IS theirs. T T 11 C 4 T(454)- 281
the density of the fog that obscures it. If you give T 11 C 5 T(454)- 281
it. He must HIMSELF withdraw that power, remembering that all power T 11 C 5 T(454)- 281
HIMSELF withdraw that power, remembering that all power is of God T 11 C 5 T(454)- 281
other. This does NOT mean that you are not strongly impelled T 11 C 7 T(455)- 282 -
other, but it DOES mean that LOVE IS NOT THE ONLY T 11 C 7 T(455)- 282 -
from this. Be glad indeed that there IS no escape from T 11 C 7 T(455)- 282 -
what can this mean except that you PREFER attack to salvation T 11 C 8 T(456)283
attack to salvation? Be glad that neither your reality nor your T 11 C 8 T(456)283
much cause for joy. But that the cause is NOT of T 11 C 8 T(456)283
what we are denying. Remember that knowledge PRECEDES denial, and that T 11 C 9 T(456)283
that knowledge PRECEDES denial, and that the separation was a descent T 11 C 9 T(456)283
uncertain child, for he recognizes that he does not know what T 11 C 11 T(457)- 284
Look straight at every image that rises to delay you, for T 11 C 12 T(457)- 284
me. Did you not know that I walked with Him in T 11 C 14 T(458)- 285
in peace? And does not that mean that peace goes with T 11 C 14 T(458)- 285
And does not that mean that peace goes with US on T 11 C 14 T(458)- 285
Whatever is revealed to Him that is not of God, is T 11 C 17 T(458)- 285
his insistence should tell you that HE BELIEVES SALVATION LIES IN T 11 D 2 T(459)286
of opposition, YOU are believing that YOUR salvation lies in NOT T 11 D 2 T(459)286
are making the same mistake that HE is, and are making T 11 D 2 T(459)286
WHATEVER reason, you are believing that the EGO is to be T 11 D 3 T(459)286
you are reinforcing it. REMEMBER THAT THOSE WHO ATTACK ARE POOR T 11 D 3 T(459)286
Refuse, and your OPPOSITION establishes that it DOES matter to you T 11 D 4 T(460)287
This is the only thing that CAN be saved, and the T 11 D 5 T(460)287
believe, even for an instant, that there is another answer. For T 11 D 5 T(460)287
poor, who do not understand that they dwell in abundance and T 11 D 5 T(460)287
they dwell in abundance and that salvation is come.
T 11 D 5 T(460)287
yourself, and MAKE YOURSELF POOR. That is why everyone who identifies T 11 D 6 T(461)- 288
adjustment. He does NOT realize that HE MAKES THIS WORLD, for T 11 D 6 T(461)- 288
IS endangered, and the recognition that it encompasses COMPLETELY opposed thoughtsT 11 D 7 T(461)- 288
ego identification, for everyone believes that identification is salvation. TT 11 D 7 T(461)- 288
to perceive it this way. That is why you MUST realize T 11 D 8 T(461)- 288
is why you MUST realize that your hatred IS in your T 11 D 8 T(461)- 288
Long ago we said that God so loved the world T 11 D 9 T(461)- 288
God so loved the world that He gave it TO His T 11 D 9 T(461)- 288
it TO His only-begotten Son. (that whosoever believeth on him should T 11 D 9 T(461)- 288
not will against Him, and that is why you have no T 11 D 10 T(462)- 289
decision. If you will recognize that ALL attack which you perceive T 11 D 11 T(462)- 289
The ego is certain that love is dangerous, and this T 11 E 1 T(463)- 290
the contrary, everyone who believes that the ego is salvation is T 11 E 1 T(463)- 290
This is the ONE promise that it holds out to you T 11 E 1 T(463)- 290
And since it also teaches that IT is your identification, its T 11 E 2 T(463)- 290
For it is your mind that BELIEVES in it, and gives T 11 E 2 T(463)- 290
it is ALSO your mind that has the power to DENY T 11 E 2 T(463)- 290
It is surely obvious that no-one WANTS to find WHAT T 11 E 3 T(463)- 290
it would be quite apparent that it had NOT taught you T 11 E 3 T(463)- 290
DISTORT love, and teach you that LOVE calls forth the responses T 11 E 3 T(463)- 290
But DO you realize that the ego MUST set you T 11 E 4 T(463)- 290
set you on a journey that cannot BUT lead to a T 11 E 4 T(463)- 290
you another promise, and one that will lead to joy. For T 11 E 4 T(463)- 290
you TO your home, because that is His Mission. As He T 11 E 5 T(464)- 291
Guide your Father gave you, that you might learn you have T 11 E 6 T(464)- 291
no price for life, for that was given you, but you T 11 E 6 T(464)- 291
it. And you will believe that you HAVE purchased it BECAUSE T 11 E 6 T(464)- 291
inheritance awaits only the recognition that you have BEEN redeemed. The T 11 E 7 T(464)- 291
had attacked yourself, and BELIEVED THAT THE ATTACK WAS EFFECTIVE, you T 11 F 1 T(465)292
do so, because you believe that ATTACK WAS SUCCESSFUL IN WEAKENING T 11 F 1 T(465)292
T 11 F 2. That is why the recognition of T 11 F 2 T(465)292
your invulnerability, you are recognizing that ATTACK HAS NO EFFECT. AlthoughT 11 F 2 T(465)292
very brutally, you will demonstrate that NOTHING HAPPENED. Therefore, by attackingT 11 F 2 T(465)292
of attack, EXCEPT by recognizing that your attack on YOURSELF had T 11 F 3 T(465)292
areas in your learning skills that are so impaired, that you T 11 F 5 T(466)- 293
skills that are so impaired, that you can progress only under T 11 F 5 T(466)- 293
from them. We have said that the egos rule is T 11 F 7 T(466)- 293
has so weakened your mind that you CANNOT love. For the T 11 F 9 T(467)294
AGAINST learning, and SUCCEED, for that is your will. But you T 11 F 10 T(467)294
do NOT realize, even yet, that there IS something you DO T 11 F 10 T(467)294
DO will to learn, and that you CAN learn it, because T 11 F 10 T(467)294
AT IT. Is it POSSIBLE that the way to achieve a T 11 F 10 T(467)294
Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you CANNOT lose your Soul T 11 G 1 T(469)- 296
YOU. He is perfectly aware that you do NOT know yourselves T 11 G 2 T(469)- 296
s mission, for He knows that they have not LOST their T 11 G 4 T(469)- 296
perception has become so holy that its transfer to Holiness is T 11 G 7 T(470)- 297
knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of T 11 G 8 T(471)- 298
s Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and T 11 G 9 T(471)- 298
H 1. Miracles demonstrate that learning has occurred under the T 11 H 1 T(471)- 298
more situations. You will recognize that you have learned there is T 11 H 1 T(471)- 298
of the world, to recognize that the world HAS BEEN redeemed T 11 H 2 T(471)- 298
through them, you will learn that He is there. What He T 11 H 3 T(472)- 299
look upon them. Remember always that you see what you seek T 11 H 6 T(473)- 300
what it seeks, and ONLY that. It does not find love T 11 H 6 T(473)- 300
does not find love, for that is NOT what it is T 11 H 6 T(473)- 300
7. We said before that WHAT you project is up T 11 H 7 T(473)- 300
and enables it to believe that IT is pursuing one goal T 11 H 8 T(474)- 301
But do not then believe that the witnesses FOR opposition are T 11 H 9 T(474)- 301
It was only THIS decision that

T 11 H 10 T(474)- 301
is because you saw something THAT IS NOT THERE. Yet in T 11 H 11 T(475)- 302
perfect safety of the Mind that created us. For we are T 11 H 11 T(475)- 302
answer which you sought. But that is only because you do T 11 H 12 T(475)- 302
do not yet want ONLY that. Yet as I become more T 11 H 12 T(475)- 302
to you, you will learn that you DO want only that T 11 H 12 T(475)- 302
that you DO want only that. And you will see me T 11 H 12 T(475)- 302
will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to T 11 H 13 T(475)- 302
H 14. Remember, then, that whenever you look without and T 11 H 14 T(475)- 302
goal, for it fully believes that you are a criminal, as T 11 H 14 T(476)- 303
the egos mind, for that is what it always reserves T 11 H 14 T(476)- 303
been treacherous to your Father. That is why the undoing of T 11 H 15 T(476)- 303
the ego, which tells you that you HAVE been treacherous to T 11 H 15 T(476)- 303
DESERVE DEATH. You will think that death comes from Him, AND T 11 H 15 T(476)- 303
WITH the ego, you believe that YOU want death. And from T 11 H 15 T(476)- 303
the desire for death, remember that I DID NOT DIE. You T 11 H 16 T(476)- 303
NOT DIE. You will realize that this is true when you T 11 H 16 T(476)- 303
look out upon a world that cannot die.

T 11 H 16 T(476)- 303
Do you REALLY believe that you can kill the Son T 11 I 1 T(477)304
and yet you are surprised that you cannot SEE it. If T 11 I 1 T(477)304
dawn only in a mind that wills to remember, and that T 11 I 5 T(478)305
that wills to remember, and that has relinquished the insane desire T 11 I 5 T(478)305
made of it, and rejoice that it is not so. T 11 I 5 T(478)305
the INvisible the only truth that this world holds. Valuing nothing T 11 I 6 T(478)305
upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness T 11 I 9 T(479)306
the split. For the mind that judges, perceives itself as SEPARATE T 11 J 1 T(480)307
the mind being judged, believing that by punishing ANOTHER, IT will T 11 J 1 T(480)307
IT. For it is guilt that has obscured the Father to T 11 J 1 T(480)307
you, and it is guilt that has driven you insane. The T 11 J 1 T(480)307
world, and you will realize that this is so. For this T 11 J 2 T(480)307
of them but has thought that God is cruel. T T 11 J 2 T(480)307
you, had you not believed that it was the FATHER Who T 11 J 3 T(481)308
Paradise. For it is in THAT belief that knowledge of the T 11 J 3 T(481)308
it is in THAT belief that knowledge of the Father was T 11 J 3 T(481)308
who do not understand Him that COULD believe it. T T 11 J 3 T(481)308
Son. And until you realize that Gods Son CANNOT be T 11 J 4 T(481)308
you accept the eternal fact that GODs SON IS NOT T 11 J 4 T(481)308
learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, HE HAS T 11 J 4 T(481)308
Long ago we said that the Holy Spirit shares the T 11 J 5 T(481)308
all guilt from his mind, that he may remember his Father T 11 J 5 T(481)308
of Christ is the proof that the ego never was, and T 11 J 6 T(481)308
up like a long carpet that has spread along the past T 11 J 7 T(482)309
walk along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And T 11 J 7 T(482)309
for yourselves, you will realize that THERE IS NO GUILT IN T 11 J 10 T(483)310
doing so, you cannot know that you are Gods Son T 11 J 10 T(483)310
with you, you will realize that there IS no journey, but T 11 J 11 T(483)310
away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by T 11 J 11 T(483)310
AS yours, learn of him that it IS yours. T T 11 J 11 T(483)310
through guilt. For guilt establishes that you WILL BE punished for T 11 J 12 T(483)310
accepting your guiltlessness, you learn that the past has never been T 11 J 13 T(484)311
committed to the insane notion that attack IS salvation. And YOU T 11 J 14 T(484)311
simply through the calm recognition that it has never been. As T 11 J 15 T(484)311
Whose pull is so strong that YOU cannot resist it. On T 12 A 1 T(485)312
YOU. Only by persuading you that IT is you, could the T 12 A 1 T(485)312
But you have no idea that you are failing the Son T 12 A 2 T(485)312
YOU, you do not realize that you are failing YOURSELF. T 12 A 2 T(485)312
your own awareness. For in that dark and secret place is T 12 B 1 T(485)312
secret place is the realization that you have betrayed Gods T 12 B 1 T(485)312
You do not even SUSPECT that this murderous but insane idea T 12 B 1 T(485)312
destructive urge is so intense, that nothing short of the crucifixion T 12 B 1 T(485)312
And it is this secret that we must look upon calmly T 12 B 2 T(486) 313
of truth, let us recognize that YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE CRUCIFIED T 12 B 3 T(486) 313
4. We once said that the crucifixion is the symbol T 12 B 4 T(486) 313
the reason it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God T 12 B 4 T(486) 313
You do not yet understand that ALL your fear of this T 12 B 4 T(486) 313
you will become increasingly convinced that this is so. T T 12 B 4 T(486) 313
This course has explicitly stated that its goal FOR YOU is T 12 B 5 T(486) 313
been told again and again that it will make you free T 12 B 5 T(486) 313
it. You MUST, then, believe that, by NOT learning the course T 12 B 5 T(486) 313
And you do NOT realize that it is only your guiltlessness T 12 B 5 T(486) 313
it is only your guiltlessness that CAN protect you.
T 12 B 5 T(486) 313
your fear. For you believe that, in the presence of truth T 12 B 6 T(487)314
immortal. And you will see that you were redeemed WITH him T 12 B 7 T(487)314
why it is so crucial that you look upon your hatred T 12 C 1 T(488)315
extent. And you may think that it would be easy enough T 12 C 1 T(488)315
between yourself and the Atonement, that you do not yet realize T 12 C 1 T(488)315
yet realize. We have said that no-one will countenance fear, IF T 12 C 1 T(488)315
if you did not believe that, WITHOUT THE EGO, you would T 12 C 2 T(488)315
and it is of THIS that you are really afraid. For T 12 C 2 T(488)315
and it is THIS place that you have sought to LEAVE T 12 C 2 T(488)315
IF YOU DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IT SAVES YOU FROM LOVE T 12 C 3 T(488)315
separation healed, and you realize that, by REMOVING the dark cloud T 12 C 3 T(488)315
by REMOVING the dark cloud that obscures it, your love for T 12 C 3 T(488)315
leap into Heaven. You believe that attack is salvation, to PREVENT T 12 C 3 T(488)315
YOU LITTLE. For you believe that magnitude lies in defiance, and T 12 C 5 T(489)316
YOU HAVE MADE A WORLD THAT GOD WOULD DESTROY. And by T 12 C 5 T(489)316
you come to the Love that is hidden beneath it. AND T 12 C 6 T(489)316
it. AND IT IS THIS THAT FRIGHTENS YOU. You can accept T 12 C 6 T(489)316
not keep them hidden, is that THEY DO NOT REST ON T 12 C 7 T(489)316
hidden, is the loving mind that THOUGHT it made them in T 12 C 7 T(489)316
apparent, when it is uncovered, that its need of healing cannot T 12 C 7 T(489)316
all the tricks and games that you have offered it can T 12 C 7 T(489)316
will heal every little thought that you have kept to hurt T 12 C 8 T(490)317
calls you to Himself. In that place, which you have hidden T 12 C 9 T(490)317
they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving T 12 C 9 T(490)317
Save him from his illusions, that you may accept the magnitude T 12 C 10 T(490)317
to happen. But you DEMANDED that it happen, and therefore believed T 12 C 12 T(491)318
it happen, and therefore believed that it was so. T T 12 C 12 T(491)318
He SET YOU APART, KNOWING that your peace lies in His T 12 C 13 T(491)318
YOU. You have been told that your function in this world T 12 D 1 T(492)319
is creating. The ego teaches that your function on earth is T 12 D 1 T(492)319
on earth is destruction, and that you have no function AT T 12 D 1 T(492)319
reality is questioned, you believe that YOURS is. For you believe T 12 D 2 T(492)319
YOURS is. For you believe that ATTACK established your reality, and T 12 D 2 T(492)319
ATTACK established your reality, and that your DESTRUCTION is the final T 12 D 2 T(492)319
DESTRUCTION is the final proof THAT YOU WERE RIGHT. T T 12 D 2 T(492)319
even apart from the fact that you WERE wrong? For while T 12 D 3 T(492)319
it could perhaps be argued that death suggests there WAS life T 12 D 3 T(492)319
WAS life, no-one would claim that it proves there IS life T 12 D 3 T(492)319
and NEEDS this to prove that it WAS. You question Heaven T 12 D 3 T(492)319
it is with this notion that the questioning might well begin T 12 D 4 T(493)320
and in the end, believes that the past is the ONLY T 12 D 4 T(493)320
the ONLY aspect of time that is meaningful. You will remember T 12 D 4 T(493)320
is meaningful. You will remember that we said its emphasis on T 12 D 4 T(493)320
yourself the message of release that every brother offers you NOW T 12 D 5 T(493)320
in retaliation for a past that is no more. AND THIS T 12 D 6 T(493)320
PAIN. For unless you learn that PAST pain is delusional, you T 12 D 6 T(493)320
you from awaking, and understanding that THEY are past. T T 12 D 6 T(494)321
sight. The Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet YOURSELF, and T 12 D 7 T(494)321
YOU are. The ego teaches that you always encounter your PAST T 12 D 7 T(494)321
without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirits perception T 12 D 7 T(494)321
the closest approximation of eternity that this world offers. And it T 12 D 8 T(494)321
now, without past OR future, that the beginning of the appreciation T 12 D 8 T(494)321
closes over the present, so that no gap in the EGO T 12 D 9 T(494)321
of the means of salvation that you must learn to accept T 12 D 9 T(494)321
1. We have said that you have but two emotions T 12 E 1 T(496)- 323
it is because of this that private worlds DO differ. But T 12 E 2 T(496)- 323
DO differ. But the figures that he sees were NEVER real T 12 E 2 T(496)- 323
Therefore he does not see that he made them, and that T 12 E 2 T(496)- 323
that he made them, and that they ARE NOT WHOLE. For T 12 E 2 T(496)- 323
these strange and shadowy figures that the insane relate to their T 12 E 3 T(496)- 323
and it is to THEM that they relate. Thus do they T 12 E 3 T(496)- 323
And thus it is that you MUST attack yourself first T 12 E 4 T(496)- 323
it MUST occur to you that you have withdrawn into insanity T 12 E 6 T(497)- 324
His sane answer tells you that what you have offered YOURSELF T 12 E 7 T(498)- 325
And you will see all that you denied in your brothers T 12 E 8 T(498)- 325
closed. And it is here that WHAT you see YOU MADE T 12 E 9 T(498)- 325
vision, IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THAT YOU CANNOT SEE. Yet this T 12 E 9 T(498)- 325
MADE your way of seeing, that you might see in darkness T 12 E 10 T(498)- 325
visions. See through the vision that is GIVEN you, for through T 12 E 11 T(499)- 326
for ANY error. This means that you perceive a brother only T 12 F 1 T(500)327
if it is to these that you react NOW, you see T 12 F 1 T(500)327
but an image of him that you made and cherish INSTEAD T 12 F 1 T(500)327
unable to perceive the reality that is NOW. T 12 T 12 F 1 T(500)327
it as a dark cloud that shrouds your brothers, and conceals T 12 F 2 T(500)327
be deceived, and then believe that this is how it IS T 12 F 4 T(501)328
it IS, for to believe that reality is what you would T 12 F 4 T(501)328
it WILL dawn on eyes that see. Your past was made T 12 F 5 T(501)328
will NOT SEE the freedom that the present holds.
T 12 F 5 T(501)328
WITH you, you WILL see that you are free of them T 12 F 5 T(502)329
it holds the ONLY things that are forever true. All healing T 12 F 6 T(502)329
more. In it is everything that is eternal, and they ARE T 12 F 6 T(502)329
your brothers in the light that would unite you WITH them T 12 F 7 T(502)329
to remain in the darkness THAT IS NOT THERE, and refusing T 12 F 7 T(502)329
refusing to accept the light that is offered you. For the T 12 F 7 T(502)329
of Light. The holy light that shines forth from Gods T 12 F 8 T(503)330
s Son is the witness that his light is of his T 12 F 8 T(503)330
For it can never be that His Son called upon Him T 12 F 9 T(503)330
of Light, you know not that the Light is in you T 12 F 10 T(503)330
theirs, in power so compelling, that it will draw the others T 12 F 11 T(504)- 331
is narrowed to yourself. And that is why the nightmares come T 12 F 12 T(504)- 331
HIM. And so it is that he can call unto himself T 12 F 13 T(504)- 331
call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he never T 12 F 13 T(504)- 331
the witnesses that teach him that he never slept.
T 12 F 13 T(504)- 331
it. There is no day that brightens and grows dim. There T 12 G 1 T(505)332
you nowhere, and no city that you built has withstood the T 12 G 2 T(505)332
You could not give it that, and so, although you turn T 12 G 3 T(505)332
find in it the road that leads AWAY from it into T 12 G 3 T(505)332
hear the cries of pain that rise to it, from every T 12 G 3 T(505)332
of the other world, maintaining that he loves WHAT HE LOVES T 12 G 5 T(506)333
and following not the road that love points out. Love leads T 12 G 5 T(506)333
follow Him, YOU will rejoice that you have found His company T 12 G 5 T(506)333
Will of God, in recognition that you share it WITH Him T 12 G 5 T(506)333
It is Gods Will that nothing touch His Son except T 12 G 6 T(506)333
quietly about him, and recognizes that the world is one with T 12 G 6 T(506)333
real world is the way that leads you to remembrance of T 12 G 7 T(507)334
remembrance of this one thing that is wholly true, and wholly T 12 G 7 T(507)334
this they are the welcome that you OFFER knowledge. Love waits T 12 G 8 T(507)334
9. Your Father knoweth that you have need of nothing T 12 G 9 T(507)334
basic cornerstone in the churches that it builds unto itself. And T 12 G 9 T(507)334
12 G 10. EVERYTHING that the ego tells you that T 12 G 10 T(508)- 335
that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you T 12 G 10 T(508)- 335
even from the very hands that grasped it, it will be T 12 G 10 T(508)- 335
unwilling to question the value that this world can REALLY hold T 12 G 10 T(508)- 335
will give you all things that do NOT block the way T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
gives you all the things that you need have, and will T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
it. And yet He knows that EVERYTHING you need is temporary T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
ALL your needs, and learn that all of them HAVE BEEN T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
no investment in the things that He supplies, except to make T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
supplies, except to make certain that you will NOT use them T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
lingering in time. He knows that you are not at home T 12 G 11 T(508)- 335
to undertake a foolish journey that would lead AWAY from light T 12 G 13 T(508)- 335
Him in joy, with faith that He will lead you safely T 12 G 13 T(509)- 336
to your peace of mind that this world sets before you T 12 G 13 T(509)- 336
have ALREADY overcome EVERY temptation that would hold you back. We T 12 G 14 T(509)- 336
on the way to quietness that is the gift of God T 12 G 14 T(509)- 336
you the peace of mind that we MUST find together. The T 12 G 14 T(509)- 336
to every part of you that you have taught how to T 12 G 15 T(509)- 336
release from the past. And that is why the Holy Spirit T 13 A 1 T(510)337
the only therapist. HE TEACHES THAT THE PAST DOES NOT EXIST T 13 A 1 T(510)337
this knowledge. For the mind that knows this unequivocally, knows also T 13 A 1 T(510)337
knows this unequivocally, knows also that it dwells in eternity, and T 13 A 1 T(510)337
anything to it. It knows that it is EVERYWHERE, just as T 13 A 1 T(510)337
mind of both, and knowing that Mind is one. He is T 13 B 2 T(511)338
of timelessness in time, and that is why Christs vision T 13 B 2 T(511)338
partial glimpses of the Heaven that lies beyond them. T T 13 B 2 T(511)338
is the miracle of creation; THAT IT IS ONE FOREVER. Every T 13 B 3 T(511)338
KNOW this, until you SEE that every aspect IS THE SAME T 13 B 3 T(511)338
them into His quiet sight that makes them one. T T 13 B 3 T(511)338
of God. The only miracle that ever was, is Gods T 13 B 4 T(511)338
created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christs T 13 B 4 T(511)338
of it, need only realize that it is of the Father T 13 B 4 T(512)- 339
RETURNED to you. And, KNOWING that the light is IN you T 13 B 6 T(512)- 339
Guilt remains the only thing that hides the Father, FOR GUILT T 13 C 1 T(513)340
those who follow them believe that THEY are guilty, and so T 13 C 1 T(513)340
between them, like a lamp that shines so brightly, that the T 13 C 1 T(513)340
lamp that shines so brightly, that the chain of darkness, in T 13 C 1 T(513)340
mind the cloud of guilt that binds him TO it. And T 13 C 4 T(514)341
guilt lies in his secret that HE thinks that HE has T 13 C 5 T(514)341
his secret that HE thinks that HE has done this unto T 13 C 5 T(514)341
Would you then teach him that he is RIGHT in his T 13 C 5 T(514)341
in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless Son of God T 13 C 5 T(514)341
UNTO YOURSELF. In every condemnation that you offer the Son of T 13 C 6 T(514)341
brothers. For so you learn that IT IS TRUE FOR YOU T 13 C 6 T(515)- 342
TRUE FOR YOU. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn T 13 C 6 T(515)- 342
placed within you, and learn that what you feared was there T 13 C 8 T(515)- 342
are accustomed to the notion that the mind can see the T 13 D 1 T(516)- 343
your awareness the full perception THAT IT IS INSANE. Displacement ALWAYS T 13 D 1 T(516)- 343
is maintained by the illusion that the source, from which attention T 13 D 1 T(516)- 343
of sources underneath awareness, provided that they are not the deeper T 13 D 1 T(516)- 343
HAVE no real relationships, for that is why they ARE insane T 13 D 1 T(516)- 343
strange purpose! And you forgot that real relationships are holy, and T 13 D 2 T(516)- 343
Holy Spirit, and it is that that MAKES them pure. If T 13 D 2 T(516)- 343
Spirit, and it is that that MAKES them pure. If you T 13 D 2 T(516)- 343
salvation will find it in that strange relationship. It is not T 13 D 2 T(516)- 343
You will see guilt in that relationship, BECAUSE YOU PUT IT T 13 D 3 T(516)- 343
IT THERE. It is inevitable that those who suffer guilt WILL T 13 D 3 T(516)- 343
4. When you maintain that YOU are guilty, but the T 13 D 4 T(517)344
As long as you believe that guilt is justified in ANY T 13 D 6 T(517)344
IT. For you must learn that guilt is ALWAYS totally insane T 13 D 6 T(517)344
The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt T 13 D 7 T(518) - 345
And it will seem incredible that he has ever thought his T 13 D 7 T(518) - 345
D 8. The moment that you realize GUILT IS INSANE T 13 D 8 T(518) - 345
THROUGH the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and look T 13 D 8 T(518) - 345
show you the perfect purity that is forever within Gods T 13 D 10 T(519)- 346
from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will T 13 D 11 T(519)- 346
offer thanks unto his Father, that no guilt has ever touched T 13 D 11 T(519)- 346
D 12. No illusion that you have ever held against T 13 D 12 T(519)- 346
I treasure. The difference is that I love ONLY what God T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
treasure you beyond the value that you set on yourselves, even T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
yourselves, even unto the worth that God has placed upon you T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
upon you. I love all that He created. And all my T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
limit, and without the fear that you will hear me not T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
and for the many gifts that you will let me offer T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
in honor of its wholeness that is of God.
T 13 D 13 T(519)- 346
shine with brightness so intense, that none of us alone can T 13 D 14 T(520)- 347
what it was. Every reaction that you experience will be so T 13 D 14 T(520)- 347
experience will be so purified, that it is fitting as a T 13 D 14 T(520)- 347
cruel war, unless he believes that both opponents in the war T 13 D 15 T(520)- 347
the war is between forces that are real and UNREAL powers T 13 D 15 T(520)- 347
you made not a war that could ENDANGER freedom. Nothing destructive T 13 D 16 T(520)- 347
Heaven, you will value NOTHING that you value here. For nothing T 13 E 1 T(521)348
you value here. For nothing that you value here you value T 13 E 1 T(521)348
sense of peace so deep, that no dream in this world T 13 E 1 T(521)348
quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally let Him T 13 E 2 T(521)348
final judgment because He knows that HE WILL MAKE IT FOR T 13 E 2 T(521)348
this would be to doubt that His mission will be fulfilled T 13 E 2 T(521)348
and every trace of guilt, that His dear Son has laid T 13 E 3 T(521)348
upon himself. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THIS MISSION FAIL.
T 13 E 3 T(521)348
you will find the answer that makes the need for ANY T 13 E 4 T(522)349
own. When you have learned that you BELONG to truth, it T 13 E 4 T(522)349
contrast to help you realize that THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT T 13 E 4 T(522)349
the Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough T 13 E 5 T(522)349
by PROJECTING it, to learn that it IS in you. T 13 E 6 T(523)350
Will. There is NO chance that Heaven will not be yours T 13 E 7 T(523)350
God. His certainty suffices. Learn that even the darkest nightmare that T 13 E 7 T(523)350
that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the mind of God T 13 E 7 T(523)350
do NOT have to know that Heaven is yours, to MAKE T 13 E 8 T(523)350
524) 351 that you have learned, that teaches T 13 E 8 T(524)351
that you have learned, that teaches you what is NOT T 13 E 8 T(524)351
and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit T 13 E 9 T(524)351
NOT remember anything you made that was not created FOR you T 13 E 9 T(524)351
as does the ego, except that HIS conclusions are NOT insane T 13 F 1 T(525)352
seen them, we have realized that they can NOT be seen T 13 F 1 T(525)352
teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth, and ONLY T 13 F 1 T(525)352
acquired, for it is THEY that have been thrown away. You T 13 F 2 T(525)352
miracles offer YOU the testimony that YOU are blessed. If what T 13 F 2 T(525)352
this, if you will realize that to DENY is the decision T 13 F 3 T(525)352
no area of your perception that it has not touched, and T 13 F 3 T(526)353
T 13 F 4. That is why God placed the T 13 F 4 T(526)353
projects, HAVE all the power that he gives them. The thoughts T 13 F 4 T(526)353
THESE, and NOT the truth, that he has chosen to defend T 13 F 4 T(526)353
the world to teach him that the logic of the world T 13 F 4 T(526)353
whim of death and murder, that your Father shared not WITH T 13 F 5 T(526)353
you will NOT believe all that IS possible to learn to T 13 F 5 T(526)353
twisted and so complex, that you CANNOT SEE that it T 13 F 6 T(527)354
complex, that you CANNOT SEE that it means nothing. HE merely T 13 F 6 T(527)354
burden of its dullness that lies upon your minds, cannot T 13 F 6 T(527)354
to misery, MUST first recognize that you ARE miserable and NOT T 13 G 1 T(527)354
this contrast, for you believe that misery IS happiness. This has T 13 G 1 T(527)354
This has so confused you, that you have undertaken to learn T 13 G 1 T(527)354
you can NEVER do, believing that, UNLESS you learn it, you T 13 G 1 T(527)354
happy. You do NOT realize that the foundation on which this T 13 G 1 T(527)354
you will FIND the treasure that you sought. But you will T 13 G 2 T(527)354
sought another. You will believe that NOTHING IS OF VALUE, and T 13 G 2 T(527)354
of nothing, you HAVE believed that nothing CAN be precious, and T 13 G 2 T(527)354
nothing CAN be precious, and that you CAN learn how to T 13 G 2 T(527)354
simplicity with the fundamental teaching that TRUTH IS TRUE. This is T 13 G 2 T(527)354
feelings, and actions and reactions, that you have woven out of T 13 G 3 T(528)- 355
Spirit sees, and teaches, simply, that ALL THIS IS NOT TRUE T 13 G 3 T(528)- 355
and delude themselves into believing that it is NOT nothing, the T 13 G 4 T(528)- 355
BROTHERS see it, and, realizing that this light is NOT what T 13 G 5 T(528)- 355
gladness. When you teach ANYONE that truth is true, YOU LEARN T 13 G 6 T(528)- 355
356 - that what seemed hardest was the T 13 G 6 T(529)- 356
make nothing everything. But see that this HAS BEEN your goal T 13 G 6 T(529)- 356
nothing, for you HAVE believed that nothing COULD content you. IT T 13 G 6 T(529)- 356
learner, you must give EVERYTHING that YOU have learned over to T 13 G 7 T(529)- 356
to learn the joyous lessons that come quickly, on the firm T 13 G 7 T(529)- 356
quickly, on the firm foundation that truth is true. For what T 13 G 7 T(529)- 356
Who gives it to you, that you may join Him in T 13 G 8 T(529)- 356
is GIVEN , the very instant that it is perceived. Where everything T 13 G 9 T(529)- 356
its simplicity is so compelling, that you will realize IT IS T 13 G 9 T(529)- 356
is EXACTLY the same as that which interferes with ALL your T 13 H 1 T(530)- 357
is so ESSENTIAL to learning, that it should never be forgotten T 13 H 1 T(530)- 357
But this entails the recognition that GUILT IS INTERFERENCE, NOT SALVATION T 13 H 1 T(530)- 357
value IN ITSELF. You believe that guilt AND guiltlessness are BOTH T 13 H 2 T(530)- 357
sight. There is NO compromise that you can make with guilt T 13 H 3 T(530)- 357
seems to ATTRACT you, remember that, if you yield to it T 13 H 3 T(530)- 357
power of decision is all that is yours. What you can T 13 H 4 T(531)- 358
The miracle teaches you that you have chosen guiltlessness, freedom T 13 H 5 T(531)- 358
RIGHT, attesting to your happiness that comes from choosing to be T 13 H 5 T(531)- 358
the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing HAS no power. And T 13 H 6 T(531)- 358
to everyone, and teach him that, WHATEVER he may try to T 13 H 7 T(531)- 358
perfect freedom from the belief that you can BE harmed, shows T 13 H 7 T(531)- 358
guiltless. He can do NOTHING that can hurt you, and by T 13 H 7 T(531)- 358
359 - that the Atonement, which you have T 13 H 7 T(532)- 359
you do, you teach YOURSELF that what is NOT of God T 13 H 8 T(532)- 359
God as YOURS. The power that God has given to His T 13 H 8 T(532)- 359
it. It is not true that you can make decisions BY T 13 H 9 T(532)- 359
side WITH it. They BELIEVE that INCREASING guilt is self-PROTECTION. And T 13 H 9 T(532)- 359
to understand the simple fact that, what they do NOT want T 13 H 9 T(532)- 359
because they do NOT believe that WHAT THEY WANT IS GOOD T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
will bring TO them ALL that they need, coming as naturally T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
their wills will not provide, that offers them ANYTHING of value T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
ALONE. It will never happen that you will have to make T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
bereft of help, and HELP THAT KNOWS THE ANSWER. Would you T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
with little, which is all that YOU ALONE can
T 13 H 10 T(532)- 359
DESERVING of it. GOD KNOWS THAT YOU ARE. Would you deny T 13 H 11 T(533)- 360
the perfect purity of everything that He created, for it IS T 13 H 11 T(533)- 360
Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan that T 13 H 12 T(533)- 360
that quietly accepts the plan that GOD has set for his T 13 H 12 T(533)- 360
you undertake alone but signifies that you would define what Salvation T 13 H 12 T(533)- 360
from. The Holy Spirit KNOWS that ALL Salvation is escape from T 13 H 12 T(533)- 360
HIS decision to undo EVERYTHING that would obscure your innocence from T 13 H 13 T(534)361
therefore, be the only guide that you would follow to Salvation T 13 H 13 T(534)361
wrong decision in ever thinking that Salvation lay in you alone T 13 H 13 T(534)361
Gods Spirit teaches only that the sin of SELF replacement T 13 H 14 T(534)361
For it is quite impossible that He could ever let His T 13 H 14 T(534)361
so frantically to anticipate all that you CANNOT know,
T 13 H 15 T(534)361
knowledge lies behind EVERY decision that the Holy Spirit makes FOR T 13 H 15 T(535)362
with Him, and with everything that is within Him, as it T 13 H 16 T(535)362
of all the happy communication that you have thrown away, but T 13 H 16 T(535)362
to communicate to me all that He knows FOR me. Then T 13 H 17 T(535)362
REMOVED, from the disordered mind that THOUGHT it WAS. This state T 13 I 2 T(536)363
do, you will still think that you are separate FROM Him T 13 I 2 T(536)363
TO you, but CANNOT know that you are one with Him T 13 I 2 T(536)363
When you have let all that has obscured the truth in T 13 I 3 T(536)363
real and visible, to them that USE it. On earth, it T 13 I 3 T(536)363
must learn that it is all you WANT T 13 I 3 T(537)364
what must be done, BEFORE that knowledge would be meaningful to T 13 I 4 T(537)364
13 I 5. Decide that God is right, and YOU T 13 I 5 T(537)364
knows what you are. Remember that there is no second to T 13 I 5 T(537)364
ANY decisions for yourself, remember that YOU HAVE DECIDED AGAINST YOUR T 13 I 6 T(537)364
what you want, in recognition that YOU DO NOT KNOW. How T 13 I 6 T(537)364
know God, Whose Will is that you know Him. Therefore, you T 14 A 1 T(539)- 366
of the Father so complete, that knowledge is swept away from T 14 A 1 T(539)- 366
ever felt, APART from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly T 14 A 2 T(539)- 366
their Father, because THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE SINLESS. The Atonement T 14 A 3 T(539)- 366
how to REMOVE the blocks that stand between you and what T 14 A 3 T(539)- 366
what God IS. Everything ELSE, that YOU have placed within your T 14 B 1 T(540)- 367
only part of your mind that has reality, is the part T 14 B 2 T(540)- 367
has reality, is the part that links you still with God T 14 B 2 T(540)- 367
the pain of dim awareness, that his true function remains unfulfilled T 14 B 3 T(540)- 367
in the Mind of God that does not share his shining T 14 B 4 T(541)- 368
the teachers of the innocence that is the RIGHT of all T 14 B 4 T(541)- 368
is the RIGHT of all that God created. Deny them not T 14 B 4 T(541)- 368
his purity from every thought that would steal it away, and T 14 B 5 T(541)- 368
guilt for innocence, nor realize that ONLY in this exchange can T 14 B 6 T(541)- 368
His creation. And every teaching that points to this points straight T 14 B 7 T(542)- 369
pain, no trial, no fear, that teaching this can fail to T 14 B 7 T(542)- 369
own efforts to the Power that cannot fail, and MUST result T 14 B 8 T(542)- 369
everyone your Fathers power, that He has given them. Believe T 14 B 10 T(542)- 369
has given them. Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect T 14 B 10 T(542)- 369
became my part in it. THAT is the symbol of the T 14 B 11 T(543)- 370
shared, for therein lies everything that makes it holy. Come gladly T 14 B 12 T(543)- 370
C 1. The journey that we undertake together is the T 14 C 1 T(544) - 371
in darkness and in ignorance that you perceive the frightening, and T 14 C 1 T(544) - 371
it is only the hidden that CAN terrify, NOT for what T 14 C 1 T(544) - 371
it. There is no darkness that the light of love will T 14 C 2 T(544) - 371
guiltlessness APART, for your belief that you can HAVE THEM BOTH T 14 C 4 T(545)- 372
so you do not realize that only one means ANYTHING, and T 14 C 4 T(545)- 372
perceives much in your mind that lets you THINK you are T 14 C 5 T(545)- 372
He WILL separate out all that HAS meaning, dropping off all T 14 C 7 T(545)- 372
and the other EVERYTHING, only that one is possible for purposes T 14 C 7 T(546)- 373
let His gentleness teach you that, in the light, they are T 14 C 8 T(546)- 373
YOU are. In union, everything that is not real MUST disappear T 14 D 1 T(547)- 374
honest searching out of everything that INTERFERES with truth. TRUTH IS T 14 D 2 T(547)- 374
possible to convince the unknowing that they know. From their point T 14 D 3 T(547)- 374
merely a belief in something that does not exist. It is T 14 D 3 T(547)- 374
It is only this BELIEF that the unknowing have, and BY T 14 D 3 T(547)- 374
You must have noticed that the emphasis has been on T 14 D 4 T(547)- 374
375 - that salvation MUST come to you T 14 D 4 T(548)- 375
MAINTAINED. It HAS BEEN recognized that, if they were BROUGHT TOGETHER T 14 D 4 T(548)- 375
Him, it is so easy, that it was accomplished the instant T 14 D 6 T(548)- 375
given Him to do. Leave that to Him Who knows! You T 14 D 7 T(548)- 375
the small extent of believing that, if He asks it, you T 14 D 7 T(548)- 375
will SEE how easily ALL that He asks can be T 14 D 7 T(548)- 375
Him the interpretation of perception that leads to knowledge. T T 14 D 8 T(549)- 376
see. It is the recognition that NOTHING you see means ANYTHING T 14 D 9 T(549)- 376
WITH Him will SHOW you that all meaning, INCLUDING YOURS, comes T 14 D 9 T(549)- 376
gave you, and the power that He bestowed upon His guiltless T 14 D 10 T(549)- 376
upon His guiltless Son. All that, lies hidden in every darkened T 14 D 10 T(549)- 376
the CLOSING of the doors, that interferes with recognition of the T 14 D 10 T(550)- 377
of the power of God that shines in you. Banish not T 14 D 10 T(550)- 377
your mind, but let all that would hide your glory, be T 14 D 10 T(550)- 377
He has promised the Father that, through Him, you would be T 14 D 10 T(550)- 377
shared WITH God the promise that was given to Him to T 14 D 11 T(550)- 377
it still, FOR YOU. Everything that promises otherwise, great or small T 14 D 11 T(550)- 377
Son. And NOTHING brought there that is not equally worthy of T 14 D 11 T(550)- 377
All interference in the communication that God Himself wills with His T 14 D 12 T(550)- 377
was, and NOW. The past that YOU remember NEVER was, and T 14 E 1 T(552)- 379
truth release you from everything that it is NOT. The Atonement T 14 E 3 T(552)- 379
is holy, for the Presence that dwells within it IS Holiness T 14 E 3 T(552)- 379
for the return of them that love it. For the Presence T 14 E 4 T(552)- 379
of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for Holiness CREATED life T 14 E 4 T(553)- 380
gods must dim the mirror that would hold Gods reflection T 14 E 5 T(553)- 380
understand. It is the message that the Holy Spirit is holding T 14 E 6 T(553)- 380
is holding to the mirror that is in HIM. He recognizes T 14 E 6 T(553)- 380
instant, the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining T 14 E 6 T(553)- 380
the image of the Holiness that heals the world. T T 14 E 6 T(553)- 380
The image of holiness that shines in YOUR mind is T 14 E 7 T(553)- 380
MUST continue forever. The reflections that you accept into the mirror T 14 F 1 T(554)- 381
world, it is NOT true that anything without order of difficulty T 14 F 3 T(554)- 381
one thing you can do that TRANSCENDS order, being based, NOT T 14 F 3 T(554)- 381
stamps the miracle as something that MUST come from elsewhere, NOT T 14 F 4 T(554)- 381
are so used to this, that it can cause you little T 14 F 4 T(555)- 382
is true about the thoughts that cross the mind of those T 14 F 4 T(555)- 382
is a weaving, changing pattern that never rests, and is never T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
your minds. The little sanity that still remains is held together T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
YOU establish. The very fact that you can DO this, and T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
order into chaos, shows you that you are NOT an ego T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
are NOT an ego, and that MORE than an ego MUST T 14 F 5 T(555)- 382
difficult for you to learn that YOU HAVE NO BASIS AT T 14 F 6 T(555)- 382
shining examples, to show you that your way of ordering is T 14 F 6 T(555)- 382
of ordering is wrong, but that a better way is OFFERED T 14 F 6 T(555)- 382
can be asked to do that which requires no judgment of T 14 F 7 T(555)- 382
the witness that you HAVE the power of T 14 F 7 T(556)- 383
power of God in you. That is the reason that the T 14 F 7 T(556)- 383
you. That is the reason that the miracle gives EQUAL blessing T 14 F 7 T(556)- 383
who share in it, and that is also why EVERYONE shares T 14 F 7 T(556)- 383
recognize love, or to believe that EVERYTHING else is nothing but T 14 F 8 T(556)- 383
mind, let me assure you that you know NOTHING of it T 14 F 9 T(556)- 383
behind a lot of words that sound impressive, but which lack T 14 F 9 T(556)- 383
you a light so powerful, that what you see is GIVEN T 14 F 11 T(557)- 384
The miracle is the recognition that this is true. T T 14 F 12 T(557)- 384
And we have already learned that this identity is shared. THE T 14 F 13 T(557)- 384
the essential thing is learning that YOU DO NOT KNOW. Knowledge T 14 G 1 T(558)- 385
and your AWARENESS of it, that you cannot use it. EVERYTHING T 14 G 1 T(558)- 385
SHOW of strength, so pitiful that it MUST fail you. For T 14 G 1 T(558)- 385
G 2. Yet all that stands between you, and the T 14 G 2 T(558)- 385
be undone, and be glad that you are not bound to T 14 G 2 T(558)- 385
GOD, a lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest T 14 G 2 T(558)- 385
What have you taught yourselves that you can possibly prefer to T 14 G 2 T(558)- 385
to escape forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in T 14 G 3 T(558)- 385
to take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who T 14 G 5 T(559)- 386
learned FOR you. Never believe that ANY lesson you have learned T 14 G 5 T(559)- 386
then you can be sure that you have learned GODs T 14 G 6 T(559)- 386
accept and hide, teaches you that you will WITH the Father T 14 G 6 T(559)- 386
simple. You need only recognize that everything YOU learned you DO T 14 G 7 T(559)- 386
remain Himself. It is impossible that God lose His identity, for T 14 G 8 T(560)- 387
and thus establishes the fact that guiltlessness MUST BE. T T 14 G 8 T(560)- 387
is impossible. But be sure that you are willing to acknowledge T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
you are willing to acknowledge that it IS impossible. It is T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
is only because you think that you can run some little T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
aspects of your lives alone, that the guidance of the Holy T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
by so limiting the guidance that you would ACCEPT, YOU are T 14 G 9 T(560)- 387
10. Do you think that what the Holy Spirit would T 14 G 10 T(560)- 387
INSTEAD of you, and recognized that they never were. There ARE T 14 G 10 T(561)- 388
so firmly in your mind, that no dark lessons of guilt T 14 G 11 T(561)- 388
G 12. Thank God that He is there, and works T 14 G 12 T(561)- 388
here, and you WILL remember that you have ALWAYS created like T 14 G 12 T(561)- 388
Those who remember always that THEY know nothing, but who T 14 G 13 T(561)- 388
is the law of God that they be not separate. They T 14 G 13 T(562)- 389
Peace. Whenever you fully realize that YOU KNOW NOT, peace will T 14 G 14 T(562)- 389
for ANYTHING. It is only that, that you need do. The T 14 G 14 T(562)- 389
ANYTHING. It is only that, that you need do. The Holy T 14 G 14 T(562)- 389
OF HIMSELF, fill every mind that so makes room for Him T 14 G 14 T(562)- 389
His Creator, and He knows that faith in His Creator MUST T 14 G 15 T(562)- 389
But see the mighty works that He will do through you T 14 G 16 T(562)- 389
yourself so filled with power, that NOTHING will prevail against your T 14 G 16 T(562)- 389
test by which you recognize that you HAVE understood.
T 14 G 16 T(562)- 389
quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for T 15 A 1 T(563)- 390
is for; to learn just that, and nothing more. Gods T 15 A 1 T(563)- 390
have become such consistent learners THAT YOU LEARN ONLY OF HIM T 15 A 1 T(563)- 390
you suffer, is your belief that THIS TAKES TIME, and that T 15 A 2 T(563)- 390
that THIS TAKES TIME, and that the results of the Holy T 15 A 2 T(563)- 390
you. But all the waste that time seems to bring with T 15 A 2 T(563)- 390
MUST therefore be the conviction that it can pursue you BEYOND T 15 B 1 T(563)- 390
of Heaven, but assures you that Heaven is not for you T 15 B 1 T(563)- 390
with it. The ego teaches that hell is IN THE FUTURE T 15 B 2 T(563)- 390
its contradictory aims together, so that they SEEM to be reconciled T 15 B 3 T(564)391
time supports. The ego teaches that Heaven is here and now T 15 B 4 T(564)391
when it attacks so savagely that it tries to take the T 15 B 4 T(564)391
then, its only value is that it is no more. T 15 B 4 T(564)391
For underneath its fanatical insistence that the past and future be T 15 B 5 T(564)391
have its worshippers still believe that IT can offer the ESCAPE T 15 B 5 T(564)391
as DESERVING hell, can believe that punishment will end in peace T 15 B 5 T(564)391
clean and free of guilt, that nothing but happiness is there T 15 B 7 T(565)392
past, and it is here that you are COMPLETELY absolved, COMPLETELY T 15 B 8 T(565)392
tempted to attack a brother, that HIS instant of release is T 15 B 11 T(566)393
GIVE the eternal instant, that eternity may be remembered FOR T 15 B 14 T(567)394
be remembered FOR you, in that shining instant of perfect release T 15 B 14 T(567)394
on your behalf, and in that instant, you will awaken gently T 15 C 1 T(567)394
is so far beyond time, that ALL of it happens at T 15 C 2 T(567)394
it is only in Heaven that God would have you be T 15 C 3 T(568)- 395
and will forever be. All that you have, you have forever T 15 C 3 T(568)- 395
speak so clearly OF Him, that you will hear, and UNDERSTAND T 15 C 5 T(568)- 395
as NOT separate. Fear not that you will not be given T 15 C 7 T(569)- 396
It is only your weakness that will depart from you in T 15 C 7 T(569)- 396
littleness, in the strange belief that littleness CAN content you. When T 15 D 1 T(570)- 397
the world, WITH THE BELIEF THAT IT WILL BRING YOU PEACE T 15 D 1 T(570)- 397
each time you choose, is that your choice is your evaluation T 15 D 2 T(570)- 397
satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the fact, and T 15 D 2 T(570)- 397
fact, and accept it gladly, that there is NO form of T 15 D 2 T(570)- 397
is NO form of littleness that can EVER content you. You T 15 D 2 T(570)- 397
love it, when you realize that it is true, and constitutes T 15 D 3 T(570)- 397
littleness, remember this: Every decision that you make stems from WHAT T 15 D 3 T(570)- 397
ARE, and represents the value that you PUT upon yourself. Believe T 15 D 3 T(570)- 397
your function, and fulfilling it that you can ESCAPE from littleness T 15 D 3 T(570)- 397
power. God is not willing that His Son be content with T 15 D 5 T(571)- 398
For littleness, and the belief that you can be CONTENT with T 15 D 7 T(571)- 398
The power and the glory that lie in you, from God T 15 D 7 T(571)- 398
have deceived themselves into believing that littleness can be blown up T 15 D 7 T(571)- 398
into a sense of magnitude that can content them. Neither GIVE T 15 D 7 T(571)- 398
anything LESS than glory. Learn that you MUST be worthy of T 15 D 9 T(572)399
to Him. Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor T 15 D 9 T(572)399
God, when will you learn that ONLY holiness can content you T 15 D 10 T(572)399
and give you peace? Remember that you learn not for yourself T 15 D 10 T(572)399
BECAUSE I learned for YOU, that you can learn of ME T 15 D 10 T(572)399
you what is yours, so that, together, we can replace the T 15 D 10 T(572)399
can replace the shabby littleness, that binds the host of God T 15 D 10 T(572)399
glad awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth T 15 D 10 T(572)399
Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours T 15 D 11 T(573)400
join with me in His, that we may release all those T 15 D 12 T(573)400
would be bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is T 15 D 12 T(573)400
God, and of the Heaven that is in him. For where T 15 D 13 T(573)400
Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and T 15 D 13 T(573)400
unless you prefer to believe that WHAT GOD WILLS TAKES TIME T 15 E 1 T(573)400
TIME. And this means ONLY that you would rather DELAY the T 15 E 1 T(573)400
would rather DELAY the recognition that His Will IS so. The T 15 E 1 T(573)400
bring it nearer. Think not that you can find Salvation in T 15 E 2 T(574)401
Give over EVERY plan that you have made for your T 15 E 3 T(574)401
for there IS nothing else that can bring you peace. For T 15 E 3 T(574)401
holy part in the plan that He has given to the T 15 E 3 T(574)401
to a plan of Salvation that is APART from Him, diminishes T 15 E 4 T(574)401
yet, it is your mind that IS the host to Him T 15 E 4 T(574)401
holy instant ONLY to recognize that you alone CANNOT know where T 15 E 5 T(575)- 402
this course is simple, is that TRUTH is simple. Complexity is T 15 E 6 T(575)- 402
perfect communication. This means, however, that it is a time in T 15 E 6 T(575)- 402
give. It is the recognition that all minds ARE in communication T 15 E 6 T(575)- 402
to DENY the perfect communication that makes the holy instant WHAT T 15 E 7 T(575)- 402
WHAT IT IS. You BELIEVE that it is possible to harbor T 15 E 7 T(575)- 402
you would NOT share, and that Salvation lies in keeping your T 15 E 7 T(575)- 402
you wonder why it is that you are not in full T 15 E 7 T(576)403
WHOLLY willing to let EVERYTHING that INTERFERES WITH IT, go forever T 15 E 8 T(576)403
cannot come into a mind that has decided to OPPOSE it T 15 E 8 T(576)403
acceptance of the SINGLE Will that governs ALL thought. T T 15 E 8 T(576)403
holy instant, does NOT require that you have no thoughts that T 15 E 9 T(576)403
that you have no thoughts that are not pure. But it T 15 E 9 T(576)403
pure. But it DOES require that you have none that you T 15 E 9 T(576)403
require that you have none that you would KEEP. Innocence is T 15 E 9 T(576)403
make you ready to acknowledge that you ARE host to God T 15 E 9 T(576)403
be quite apparent to you that you do not know WHAT T 15 F 1 T(577)404
of this, because you believe that, WITHOUT THE EGO, all would T 15 F 1 T(577)404
chaos. Yet I assure you that, without the ego, ALL WOULD T 15 F 1 T(577)404
it is in the past that you learned to define your T 15 F 2 T(577)404
OWN TERMS. We said before that, to limit love to PART T 15 F 2 T(577)404
you understand it? To believe that SPECIAL relationships, with SPECIAL loveT 15 F 3 T(577)404
you salvation, IS the belief that separation is salvation. For it T 15 F 3 T(577)404
lies. How can YOU decide that special aspects of the Sonship T 15 F 3 T(577)404
SPECIAL. But He also perceives that you have MADE special relationships T 15 F 5 T(578)405
His care, and be sure that it will NOT result in T 15 F 5 T(578)405
you would never have imagined that you needed them AS THEY T 15 F 6 T(578)405
of relationships is so fragmented, that it frequently goes even further T 15 F 7 T(578)405
nothing in Heaven OR earth that it resembles,

T 15 F 7 T(578)405
of the past, you see that LOVE IS IN YOU, and T 15 F 9 T(579)406
Self with Christ. Think you that you can judge the Self T 15 F 11 T(580)407
And it is only there that love HAS meaning, and ONLY T 15 F 11 T(580)407
the possibility, AND CHERISH IT, that you can make a brother T 15 F 12 T(580)407
unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is IN you T 15 F 13 T(580)407
YOUR doubts. But forget not that my faith MUST be as T 15 F 13 T(580)407
Son, because we recognize, together, that he is wholly worthy OF T 15 F 13 T(580)407
perceive them, you MUST believe that strength comes from ANOTHER, and T 15 G 1 T(581)408
strength comes from ANOTHER, and that WHAT YOU GAIN HE LOSES T 15 G 1 T(581)408
is another interpretation of relationships, that TRANSCENDS the concept of theT 15 G 1 T(581)408
find it difficult to believe that, when ANOTHER calls on God T 15 G 2 T(581)408
strong. Nor do you think that, by Gods answer to T 15 G 2 T(581)408
to the possibility of YOURS. That is because you recognize, however T 15 G 2 T(581)408
because you recognize, however dimly, that God is an IDEA, and T 15 G 2 T(581)408
to accept is the fact that, LIKE your Father, YOU are T 15 G 2 T(581)408
and so no-one is aware that perfect Love is IN him T 15 G 3 T(581)408
this idea with the Mind that thought It, AND COULD NOT T 15 G 3 T(581)408
gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound, or limited T 15 G 4 T(582)- 409
him be. For, the instant that he refuses to BE bound T 15 G 4 T(582)- 409
the holy instant, nothing happens that has not always been. Only T 15 G 5 T(582)- 409
always been. Only the veil, that has been drawn ACROSS reality T 15 G 5 T(582)- 409
give it. Let no need that YOU perceive, obscure your need T 15 G 6 T(582)- 409
needed. It is through US that peace will come. Join me T 15 G 6 T(582)- 409
s meaning understood. But remember that understanding is OF THE MIND T 15 G 7 T(582)- 409
in full communication with all that ever was. But, as long T 15 G 7 T(582)- 409
this permits YOUR Source, and that of all your brothers, to T 15 G 8 T(583)- 410
There is no OTHER love that can satisfy you, because there T 15 H 1 T(584)- 411
This is the ONLY love that is fully given, AND FULLY T 15 H 1 T(584)- 411
anger, for the ego believes that ANGER MAKES FRIENDS. This is T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
For the ego REALLY BELIEVES that it can get, and KEEP T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
attraction. An attraction so weak, that it would have no hold T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
no hold at all, except that NO-ONE RECOGNIZES IT. For the T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
all to anyone who perceives that IT ATTRACTS THROUGH GUILT. T 15 H 2 T(584)- 411
4. We said before that the ego attempts to maintain T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
but in such a way, that you do NOT recognize what T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
the egos fundamental doctrine that, what you do to others T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
survival DEPENDS on your belief that YOU are exempt from its T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
evil intentions. It counsels, therefore, that if you are HOST to T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
you to direct the anger that it holds outward, thus protecting T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
to but one insane belief; that the more anger you invest T 15 H 4 T(585)- 412
It is this chain that binds the Son of God T 15 H 5 T(585)- 412
more closely at the relationships that the ego contrives, and let T 15 H 5 T(585)- 412
truly. For it is certain that, if you LOOK at them T 15 H 5 T(585)- 412
is based on the idea that, by SACRIFICING itself, IT BECOMES T 15 H 6 T(585)- 412
it sees it, and recognizes that NO-ONE could interpret DIRECT attack T 15 H 6 T(585)- 412
413 - that he has SACRIFICED something to T 15 H 7 T(586)- 413
impossible, for the ego believes, that to forgive another, IS TO T 15 H 7 T(586)- 413
only by attack WITHOUT forgiveness, that the ego can ensure the T 15 H 7 T(586)- 413
to the ego, mean ONLY that BODIES are together. It is T 15 H 8 T(586)- 413
It is always PHYSICAL closeness that the ego demands, and it T 15 H 8 T(586)- 413
it is in these terms that it evaluates ideas as good T 15 H 8 T(586)- 413
he would no longer believe that BODIES communicate, and so he T 15 H 8 T(586)- 413
the other. For they believe that this DECREASES it in them T 15 H 9 T(586)- 413
angry, you can be sure that you have formed a special T 15 H 10 T(587)- 414
deceive those who will learn that LOVE BRINGS NO GUILT AT T 15 H 10 T(587)- 414
with you, while you believe that, to communicate, is to MAKE T 15 H 11 T(587)- 414
is CLEARLY insane to believe that, by communicating, you will be T 15 H 11 T(587)- 414
believe it. For you think that your minds must be kept T 15 H 11 T(587)- 414
As long as you believe that, to be with a body T 15 H 12 T(587)- 414
the ego will ALWAYS teach that loneliness is solved by guilt T 15 H 12 T(587)- 414
is solved by guilt, and that communication is the CAUSE of T 15 H 12 T(587)- 414
- believe that communication is damnation, that communication T 15 H 13 T(588)- 415
believe that communication is damnation, that communication is salvation. And HeT 15 H 13 T(588)- 415
so holy and so strong, that it can overcome even this T 15 H 13 T(588)- 415
is through the holy instant that what SEEMS impossible is ACCOMPLISHED T 15 H 13 T(588)- 415
is ACCOMPLISHED, making it evident that it is NOT impossible. In T 15 H 13 T(588)- 415
made welcome. And you understand that YOUR completion is Gods T 15 I 1 T(588)- 415
awareness. And here it is that you experience yourself as you T 15 I 1 T(588)- 415
teach you to remember always that forgiveness is NOT loss, BUT T 15 I 2 T(588)- 415
loss, BUT YOUR SALVATION. And that, in COMPLETE forgiveness, in which T 15 I 2 T(588)- 415
forgiveness, in which you recognize that there is nothing to forgive T 15 I 2 T(588)- 415
gladly, and learn of Him that you have need of no T 15 I 3 T(588)- 415
making the holy instant all that there is, by desiring that T 15 I 3 T(589)- 416
that there is, by desiring that it BE all that there T 15 I 3 T(589)- 416
desiring that it BE all that there is. Gods Son T 15 I 3 T(589)- 416
willingness to strive for this, that you cannot conceive of need T 15 I 3 T(589)- 416
great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share T 15 I 3 T(589)- 416
is BEYOND failure, and NOTHING that he wills can BE denied T 15 I 4 T(589)- 416
in a relationship so holy, that it calls to everyone to T 15 I 4 T(589)- 416
withheld not His creation. Nothing that ever was created, but is T 15 I 5 T(589)- 416
is only YOU, who believe that it IS understandable. T T 15 I 6 T(590)- 417
The Holy Spirit KNOWS that it is not understandable, and T 15 I 7 T(590)- 417
Himself created the only relationship that HAS meaning, and that is T 15 I 7 T(590)- 417
relationship that HAS meaning, and that is His relationship with YOU T 15 I 7 T(590)- 417
shining from them, so unlimited that they reach to God. It T 15 I 8 T(591)- 418
it as the ONLY PERCEPTION THAT YOU WANT, it is translated T 15 I 8 T(591)- 418
into knowledge, by the part that God Himself plays in the T 15 I 8 T(591)- 418
and to accept the fact that the ego has NO purpose T 15 I 10 T(591)- 418
Yet you have surely recognized that the ego, whose goals are T 15 I 11 T(591)- 418
so with the strength that YOU have given it. Yet T 15 I 11 T(592)- 419
RELEASE your power unto creation, that is the ONLY purpose for T 15 I 11 T(592)- 419
for you, and the need that your creations have to be T 15 I 12 T(592)- 419
such sure and loving relationships, that ANY limits are impossible. Would T 15 I 12 T(592)- 419
would see WITHOUT the limits that the ego would impose on T 15 I 12 T(592)- 419
idea of all the loveliness that you COULD see. But this T 15 I 13 T(592)- 419
relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever WANT. ALL T 15 J 1 T(593)- 420
ask of me. Learn NOW that sacrifice, of ANY kind, is T 15 J 3 T(593)- 420
union is the only gift that I was born to give T 15 J 4 T(594)- 421
give. Give it to ME, that YOU may have it. The T 15 J 4 T(594)- 421
but ONE shift in perception that is necessary. For you made T 15 J 5 T(595)- 422
is simply this; you believe that it is possible to be T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
you have, and the decision that you believe that you must T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
the decision that you believe that you must make. You see T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
can NOT accept the fact that SACRIFICE GETS NOTHING. Sacrifice is T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
so essential to your thought-system, that salvation, APART from sacrifice, meansT 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
sacrifice. And it is THIS that you must look at; SACRIFICE T 15 J 6 T(595)- 422
get. And the ONLY question that remains to BE decided is T 15 J 7 T(595)- 422
to the ego, you believe that you can give ALL your T 15 J 7 T(595)- 422
YOURS. While it is obvious that the ego DOES demand payment T 15 J 7 T(595)- 422
you are unwilling to recognize that the ego, which you INVITED T 15 J 7 T(595)- 422
cover, for the one idea that hides behind them all. That T 15 J 8 T(596)- 423
that hides behind them all. That love demands sacrifice, and is T 15 J 8 T(596)- 423
from attack and fear. And that GUILT IS THE PRICE OF T 15 J 8 T(596)- 423
COMPLETELY destroy you. You think that everyone OUTSIDE yourself demands yourT 15 J 9 T(596)- 423
but you do NOT see that ONLY you demand sacrifice, and T 15 J 9 T(596)- 423
so savage and so fearful, that you CANNOT accept it WHERE T 15 J 9 T(596)- 423
this has been so great, that you have GIVEN GOD AWAY T 15 J 9 T(596)- 423
And you do not recognize that it is WHAT YOU INVITED T 15 J 10 T(596)- 423
is WHAT YOU INVITED IN that would destroy you, and DOES T 15 J 10 T(596)- 423
avoid recognizing the one decision that MUST be made. And T 15 J 11 T(596)- 423
decision, JUST AS IT IS, that makes the decision so easy T 15 J 11 T(597)- 424
your thoughts and the Thought that has been GIVEN you. When T 15 K 1 T(597)- 424
is there ALREADY, by recognizing that His Host is One. And T 15 K 2 T(597)- 424
holy as the Perfect Innocence that He protects, and Whose Power T 15 K 2 T(597)- 424
give the Holy Spirit EVERYTHING that would hurt you. LET yourself T 15 K 3 T(597)- 424
LET yourself be healed completely, that you may JOIN with Him T 15 K 3 T(597)- 424
4. You who believe that sacrifice IS love, must learn T 15 K 4 T(598)- 425
sacrifice IS love, must learn that sacrifice is SEPARATION FROM love T 15 K 4 T(598)- 425
breeds attack, BEING the belief that attack IS justified. And, as T 15 K 5 T(598)- 425
6. So is it that, in all your seeking for T 15 K 6 T(598)- 425
what you preferred to KEEP, that has no meaning. While all T 15 K 6 T(598)- 425
has no meaning. While all that you would KEEP
T 15 K 6 T(598)- 425
CONDITION of love, by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even ifT 15 K 7 T(599)- 426
the body is destroyed, PROVIDED THAT you see NOT the body T 15 K 7 T(599)- 426
this lesson, you will realize that, to sacrifice the BODY, is T 15 K 7 T(599)- 426
to all my brothers, is that sacrifice is nowhere and love T 15 K 8 T(599)- 426
Christ, which I give you, that YOU may give it, and T 15 K 8 T(599)- 426
in you, to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will T 15 K 10 T(600)427
part of myself. I know that you will be released, UNLESS T 15 K 10 T(600)427
your release, Because I recognize that we will be released TOGETHER T 15 K 10 T(600)427
NOT join in pain, knowing that HEALING pain is NOT accomplished T 16 A 1 T(601)428
2. The clearest proof that empathy, as the ego uses T 16 A 2 T(601)428
DESTRUCTIVE, lies in the fact that it is applied ONLY to T 16 A 2 T(601)428
you do not want anything that YOU value to come of T 16 A 3 T(601)428
is NOTHING from the past that you would share, for there T 16 A 3 T(601)428
for there is nothing there that YOU WOULD KEEP.
T 16 A 3 T(601)428
desert you, but be sure that YOU desert not Him. Humility T 16 B 2 T(602)429
recognize and ACCEPT the fact that you do NOT know, is T 16 B 2 T(602)429
recognize and accept the fact that He DOES know. You are T 16 B 2 T(602)429
know. You are not sure that He will do His part T 16 B 2 T(602)429
and the form of empathy that would bring it about, is T 16 B 2 T(602)429
it about, is so distorted that it would imprison what it T 16 B 2 T(602)429
HIS perception and His strength that you would share. And let T 16 B 3 T(602)429
4. We once said that, if a brother asks a T 16 B 4 T(603)430
do it. But be certain that this does NOT mean to T 16 B 4 T(603)430
to do a foolish thing that would hurt either him or T 16 B 4 T(603)430
foolish, for the simple reason THAT THEY CONFLICT, because they contain T 16 B 4 T(603)430
SECRECY. And you will think that, by meeting the needs of T 16 B 5 T(603)430
you give through Him. And that is WHY He gives it T 16 B 5 T(603)430
EVERYONE, and you HAVE learned that it MUST include everyone, to T 16 C 1 T(604)431
beyond the limits you perceive, that demonstrates you did NOT do T 16 C 1 T(604)431
must be Something IN you that DOES understand. T 16 T 16 C 2 T(604)431
has made THEM so UNnatural that they do not remember what T 16 C 3 T(604)431
perception would show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles T 16 C 3 T(604)431
but it is QUITE apparent that you have NOT done them T 16 C 4 T(605)432
as long as you believe that YOU must understand it, or T 16 C 4 T(605)432
you are unwilling to believe that what HAS happened is true T 16 C 5 T(605)432
Yet can you REALLY believe that all that has happened, EVEN T 16 C 5 T(605)432
you REALLY believe that all that has happened, EVEN THOUGH you T 16 C 5 T(605)432
you. For this acknowledgement MEANS that what has happened you do T 16 C 5 T(605)432
you do NOT understand, but that you are willing to ACCEPT T 16 C 5 T(605)432
6. Honor the truth that has been given you, and T 16 C 6 T(605)432
away from all the witnesses that He has given you to T 16 C 6 T(605)432
bring you the glad tidings that He HAS come. T T 16 C 6 T(606)433
true, JUST AS YOU FEAR, that to acknowledge Him, IS to T 16 C 7 T(606)433
Him, IS to deny ALL that you think you know. But T 16 C 7 T(606)433
accomplished in minds firmly convinced that holiness is weakness, and attackT 16 C 8 T(606)433
attack is power. Should not that be a sufficient miracle to T 16 C 8 T(606)433
sufficient miracle to teach you that your Teacher is NOT of T 16 C 8 T(606)433
of you? But remember also that, whenever you have listened to T 16 C 8 T(606)433
For you have many witnesses that speak of it so clearly T 16 C 8 T(606)433
speak of it so clearly, that only the blind and deaf T 16 C 8 T(606)433
you of Him. A for that is the only reason He T 16 C 9 T(606)433
to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is NOT real, and T 16 C 9 T(607)434
disaster is NOT real, and that reality is NOT disaster. Reality T 16 C 9 T(607)434
glad. For love asks only that YOU BE HAPPY, and will T 16 C 9 T(607)434
and will GIVE you everything that makes for happiness. T T 16 C 9 T(607)434
the APPLICATION of the ideas that have been given you. For T 16 C 10 T(607)434
will be COMPELLED to recognize that your Teacher came from BEYOND T 16 D 1 T(608)435
themselves. For it is certain that you judge YOURSELF according to T 16 D 2 T(608)435
CHOICE. And this acceptance MEANS that you are willing to judge T 16 D 2 T(608)435
Does not the fact that you have NOT learned what T 16 D 3 T(608)435
you HAVE taught, show you that you do NOT perceive the T 16 D 3 T(608)435
it not also show you that you do not regard YOURSELF T 16 D 3 T(608)435
and it is equally impossible that conviction be OUTSIDE you. You T 16 D 3 T(608)435
it. And it MUST be that what you taught CAME FROM T 16 D 3 T(608)435
deny WHAT IT HAS DONE, that you could possibly deny its T 16 D 3 T(609)436
REAL cause and effect relationship that is PERFECTLY apparent. Yet, withinT 16 D 4 T(609)436
taught. What can it be, that has NOT learned it? It T 16 D 4 T(609)436
it? It must be this that is REALLY outside yourself, NOT T 16 D 4 T(609)436
TRUTH. And it is this, that you have TAKEN IN, that T 16 D 4 T(609)436
that you have TAKEN IN, that is NOT you. What YOU T 16 D 4 T(609)436
WITH them, you MUST learn that you but taught YOURSELF, and T 16 D 6 T(610)437
there is nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal T 16 D 7 T(610)437
on it. Have no fear that the attraction of those who T 16 D 8 T(610)437
to BALANCE hate with love that makes love meaningless to you T 16 E 1 T(611)438
The extent of the split that lies in this you do T 16 E 2 T(611)438
love play out a conflict that does not exist. For symbols T 16 E 2 T(611)438
NEVER love. It is certain that those who select certain ones T 16 E 4 T(612)439
love relationship loses the illusion that it IS what it is T 16 E 4 T(612)439
And then the ONLY choice that remains possible, is which illusion T 16 E 5 T(612)439
of the barriers WITHIN YOURSELF that you have built AGAINST it T 16 E 6 T(612)439
yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred within, AND T 16 E 6 T(613)440
be done? It is essential that we look VERY closely at T 16 E 7 T(613)440
between you and the bridge that leads you into it. Heaven T 16 E 7 T(613)440
Son WITH Him. The bridge that leads to union IN YOURSELF T 16 E 9 T(614)441
hate, and in every fantasy that rises to delay you, but T 16 E 11 T(614)441
but the call for help, that rises ceaselessly from you to T 16 E 11 T(614)441
union WITH you. The journey that SEEMED to be endless is T 16 E 12 T(615)442
to be possible. The bridge that He would carry you across T 16 E 13 T(615)442
is necessary first to realize that it involves a great amount T 16 F 1 T(615)442
what is REALLY being attempted, that we have not touched on T 16 F 1 T(616)443
boasted gift, and the one that has the most appeal to T 16 F 2 T(616)443
and even those who believe that hate is sin, merely feel T 16 F 2 T(616)443
separation. And those who learn that it is NOT natural at T 16 F 3 T(616)443
for special love from God, that the egos hatred triumphs T 16 F 4 T(616)443
for the self the specialness that He denied. And it is T 16 F 4 T(616)443
the preservation of the ego, that you believe this specialness is T 16 F 4 T(617)444
would never have you see that the separation can ONLY BE T 16 F 4 T(617)444
accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that self completion lies first in T 16 F 5 T(617)444
Heaven. From this it follows that union, which is a condition T 16 F 5 T(617)444
he place upon a self that he would GIVE AWAY to T 16 F 7 T(618)445
ego seeks is ALWAYS one that is MORE special. And whoever T 16 F 8 T(618)445
Heaven. For NEITHER will recognize that HE HAS ASKED FOR HELL T 16 F 8 T(618)445
its litany to sacrifice is that GOD MUST DIE SO YOU T 16 F 10 T(619)446
And it is this theme that is acted out in the T 16 F 10 T(619)446
other, to REPLACE the self that you despised. And you despise T 16 F 10 T(619)446
IT OFFERS YOU THE SPECIALNESS THAT YOU DEMAND. And, HATING it T 16 F 10 T(619)446
fearful has the truth become that, UNLESS it is weak, and T 16 F 11 T(619)446
his body, raise another self that TAKES HIS POWER FROM ITS T 16 F 11 T(619)446
His killer, as the sign that form has triumphed over content T 16 F 12 T(620)447
change His Mind. No rituals that you have set up, in T 16 F 13 T(620)447
WANT this. And every idol that you raise to place BEFORE T 16 F 14 T(620)447
lies in the simple fact that illusions are NOT fearful, BECAUSE T 16 F 14 T(620)447
Yet, for every learning that would hurt you, God offers T 16 F 15 T(621)448
to make the EASIEST decision that ever confronted you, and also T 16 F 16 T(621)448
simply because you will recognize that God is on the other T 16 F 16 T(621)448
special relationship is the sign that you equate your self with T 16 G 1 T(622)- 449
His Son, and ALL relationships that are unlike this One, MUST T 16 G 1 T(622)- 449
relationship. You do NOT recognize that this IS its REAL appeal T 16 G 2 T(622)- 449
the ego has taught you that FREEDOM lies in it. T 16 G 2 T(622)- 449
the more apparent it becomes that it MUST foster guilt, and T 16 G 3 T(622)- 449
here. For the little spark that holds the Great Rays within T 16 G 5 T(623)- 450
so diminished in YOUR sight, that you will see no need T 16 G 5 T(623)- 450
it. For you will realize that the ONLY value that the T 16 G 5 T(623)- 450
realize that the ONLY value that the body has, is to T 16 G 5 T(623)- 450
it means nothing more than that you have been willing to T 16 G 6 T(623)- 450
the distorted frame of reference, that SEEMED to hold your world T 16 G 6 T(623)- 450
G 7. Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted T 16 G 7 T(623)- 450
realize it IS delay, and that escape from pain IS REALLY T 16 G 7 T(624)- 451
keep PART of the thought-system that taught you it WAS real T 16 G 8 T(624)- 451
real, and understand the Thought that REALLY knows what you are T 16 G 8 T(624)- 451
escaped the mockery of salvation that the ego offered you, and T 16 G 9 T(624)- 451
there. And be you thankful that there IS a place where T 16 G 9 T(624)- 451
will think, in glad astonishment, that for all this, YOU GAVE T 16 G 10 T(624)- 451
is INCREASED with each light that returns, to take its rightful T 16 G 10 T(625)- 452
gone. It MUST be, therefore, that YOU are maintaining the illusion T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
YOU are maintaining the illusion that it has NOT gone, because T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
think it serves some purpose that you WANT FULFILLED. And it T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
And it must also be that this purpose COULD NOT BE T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
For the ego remembers everything that YOU have done that offended T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
everything that YOU have done that offended it, and seeks retribution T 16 H 3 T(626)- 453
of the vengeance it believes that you so justly merit. Yet T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
ALLOWING YOUR DESTRUCTION TO BE. That this is insane, is obvious T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
LESS obvious to you, is that the PRESENT is useless to T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
it, and would teach you that SALVATION is past, and that T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
that SALVATION is past, and that you must RETURN to the T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
salvation. There is NO fantasy that does not contain the dream T 16 H 4 T(627)- 454
an acting out of vengeance that you seek. And, even when T 16 H 5 T(627)- 454
shaken. But the one thing that the ego NEVER allows to T 16 H 5 T(627)- 454
allows to reach awareness, is that the special relationship is the T 16 H 5 T(627)- 454
IN YOURSELF. You have DENIED that it is there. And the T 16 H 5 T(627)- 454
holy instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach T 16 H 6 T(627)- 454
holy instant, it is ACCEPTED that the past is gone, and T 16 H 6 T(627)- 454
you. And it is impossible that you receive it not, BECAUSE T 16 H 8 T(628)- 455
gave it. When He willed that His Son be free, His T 16 H 8 T(628)- 455
holy instant is His reminder that His Son will ALWAYS be T 16 H 8 T(628)- 455
you, is to remind you that you HAVE received what God T 16 H 8 T(628)- 455
CAN hold against reality. All that must be forgiven are the T 16 H 9 T(628)- 455
them. Thus will you learn that YOU have been forgiven, for T 16 H 9 T(628)- 455
16 H 10. Remember that you ALWAYS choose between truth T 16 H 10 T(628)- 455
illusion, between the REAL Atonement that would heal, and the ego T 16 H 10 T(628)- 455
and the egos atonement, that would destroy. The power of T 16 H 10 T(628)- 455
or impossible. There is NOTHING that will not give place to T 16 H 11 T(629)- 456
can there be in us that NEEDS forgiveness, when YOURS is T 16 H 12 T(629)- 456
impossible to convince the dreamer that this is so, for dreams T 17 A 1 T(630)457
does it become perfectly apparent that they had no effect on T 17 A 1 T(630)457
2. FANTASIES CHANGE REALITY. That is their purpose. They CANNOT T 17 A 2 T(630)457
do so in the mind that would HAVE REALITY DIFFERENT. It T 17 A 2 T(630)457
your WISH to change reality that is fearful, because, by your T 17 A 2 T(630)457
1. When you maintain that there MUST be order of T 17 B 1 T(630)457
miracles, all you mean is that there are some things you T 17 B 1 T(630)457
WITHHOLD from truth. You believe that truth cannot deal with them T 17 B 1 T(630)457
of faith in the Power that heals ALL pain, arises from T 17 B 1 T(630)457
IT BACK, it is inevitable that YOUR perspective on reality be T 17 B 1 T(630)457
compared at all. Think you that you can bring truth to T 17 B 2 T(631)458
to enable truth to teach that the ILLUSIONS are unreal, and T 17 B 3 T(631)458
nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember, that made your T 17 C 1 T(632)- 459
dear. Nothing that you remember, that made your heart seem to T 17 C 1 T(632)- 459
You will behold the beauty that the Holy Spirit loves to T 17 C 1 T(632)- 459
loves to look upon, and that He thanks the Father for T 17 C 1 T(632)- 459
the truth. The bridge between that world and this is SO T 17 C 2 T(632)- 459
and SO easy to cross that you could not believe it T 17 C 2 T(632)- 459
bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this world at T 17 C 2 T(632)- 459
beyond all ugliness, into beauty that will enchant you, and will T 17 C 2 T(632)- 459
has been perfected. For everything that has been used for learning T 17 C 4 T(633)- 460
shadings, no differences, no variations that made perception possible, will occurT 17 C 4 T(633)- 460
world will be so short, that you will barely have time T 17 C 4 T(633)- 460
careful searching of the mind that MADE this world, and uncover T 17 C 5 T(633)- 460
Him, He will SHOW you that there is NO reason here T 17 C 5 T(633)- 460
a hidden spark of beauty, that gentleness could release. T T 17 C 5 T(633)- 460
chaos, and removing all illusions that had twisted your perception, and T 17 C 6 T(633)- 460
home. And there, he knows that he has ALWAYS rested there T 17 C 6 T(634)- 461
awake in Heaven, could dream that there COULD ever be NEED T 17 C 7 T(634)- 461
in the past, and those that were given you. ALL the T 17 D 1 T(635)- 462
THEY REPRESENT THE EVIL THAT YOU THINK WAS DONE TO T 17 D 2 T(635)- 462
bring them with you ONLY that you may return evil FOR T 17 D 2 T(635)- 462
return evil FOR evil, hoping that THEIR witness will enable you T 17 D 2 T(635)- 462
so clearly for the separation, that no-one NOT obsessed with KEEPING T 17 D 2 T(635)- 462
the other, AND OF YOURSELF. That is why you see, IN T 17 D 3 T(635)- 462
T 17 D 4. That bodies are central to all T 17 D 4 T(635)- 462
ALL the reasons that go to MAKE the relationship T 17 D 4 T(636)- 463
the more of the REALITY that enters into the unholy relationship T 17 D 6 T(636)- 463
T 17 D 8. That is why Atonement centers ON T 17 D 8 T(637)- 464
He perceives in it is that it MUST BE UNDONE. T 17 D 8 T(637)- 464
loveliness will so attract you, that you will be unwilling ever T 17 D 9 T(637)- 464
Spirit sees, because He knows that ONLY this is true. YOU T 17 D 10 T(638)- 465
truth or illusion. But remember that to choose ONE, is to T 17 D 12 T(638)- 465
God ARE true. And all that follows FROM them, COMES FROM T 17 D 12 T(638)- 465
you. This is the truth that I would interpose, between you T 17 D 13 T(639)- 466
God, and bring YOU peace, that YOU may offer peace to T 17 D 13 T(639)- 466
happy. We have said repeatedly that the Holy Spirit would not T 17 E 2 T(640)467
would TRANSFORM them. And by that, all that is meant is T 17 E 2 T(640)467
them. And by that, all that is meant is that He T 17 E 2 T(640)467
all that is meant is that He will RESTORE to them T 17 E 2 T(640)467
RESTORE to them the function that was GIVEN them, by God T 17 E 2 T(640)467
for it. Every special relationship that YOU have made IS a T 17 E 2 T(640)467
their SUBSTITUTES to such predominance that, when truth calls to you T 17 E 3 T(640)467
occupying your minds so completely that YOU WILL NOT HEAR the T 17 E 3 T(640)467
The whole defense system that the ego evolved, to PROTECT T 17 E 4 T(641)468
everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit IS in T 17 E 4 T(641)468
IT. It does NOT realize that it is totally insane. And T 17 E 5 T(641)468
reason,’ and NO attribute, that is NOT insane. And its T 17 E 5 T(641)468
little difficulty now in realizing that the thought-system it protects, isT 17 E 6 T(641)468
at least in general terms, that the ego is insane. But T 17 E 6 T(641)468
It is essential to realize that ALL defenses DO what they T 17 E 7 T(642)469
basis for their effectiveness is that they OFFER what they defend T 17 E 7 T(642)469
so heavy and so elaborate, that the picture is almost obliterated T 17 E 8 T(642)469
TAKE it, you WILL believe that you are damned. YOU CANNOT T 17 E 9 T(642)469
AT THE PICTURE, and realize that DEATH is offered you. T 17 E 9 T(642)469
T 17 E 10. That is why the holy instant T 17 E 10 T(643)470
the picture, you will realize that it was only the frame T 17 E 11 T(643)470
it was only the frame that made you THINK it was T 17 E 11 T(643)470
is a picture of all that you can have, SEEN VERY T 17 E 12 T(644)471
MUST be the PICTURES ONLY that you compare, or the comparison T 17 E 12 T(644)471
is wholly without meaning. Remember that it is the picture that T 17 E 12 T(644)471
that it is the picture that is the gift. And ONLY T 17 E 12 T(644)471
wrappings. As each senseless stone that SEEMS to shine in darkness T 17 E 13 T(644)471
PICTURE ITSELF, seeing at last that, unprotected by its FRAME, it T 17 E 13 T(644)471
as fearful. But the fact that IT IS JUST A PICTURE T 17 E 14 T(645)472
look on THIS, you realize that IT IS NOT A PICTURE T 17 E 15 T(645)472
condition, YOUR goal was all that SEEMED to give it meaning T 17 F 3 T(646)473
the relationship is SO apparent that they CANNOT co-exist. Yet now T 17 F 4 T(647)474
goal be set for you. That WAS an act of faith T 17 F 6 T(647)474
Do not ABANDON faith, now that the REWARDS of faith are T 17 F 6 T(647)474
you now not STILL believe that He is there,
T 17 F 6 T(647)474
wholly insane. Can you DENY that He HAS given a MOST T 17 F 8 T(648)475
In your newness, remember that you have started again, TOGETHER T 17 F 10 T(649)476
believe. Is it not certain, that you will remember a goal T 17 F 10 T(649)476
needs now IS your blessing, that you may see that in T 17 F 10 T(649)476
blessing, that you may see that in it rests salvation. T 17 F 10 T(649)476
result, you do not realize that it is WITH YOU STILL T 17 F 13 T(650)477
same DISCREPANCY between the purpose that has BEEN accepted and the T 17 F 14 T(650)477
means as they stand now, that SEEMS to make you suffer T 17 F 14 T(650)477
the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you T 17 F 15 T(650)477
for this, it is apparent that IT MUST BE CLEAR. The T 17 G 1 T(651)478
for ANY situation, but remember that you do not yet realize T 17 G 1 T(651)478
BEGINNING, for it is this that will determine the outcome. In T 17 G 2 T(651)478
does NOT want, but only that. It has no POSITIVE goal T 17 G 2 T(651)478
WANT to happen, is simply that you will perceive the situation T 17 G 4 T(652)479
objective, and concentrate on everything that helps you meet it. It T 17 G 4 T(652)479
it. It is quite noticeable that THIS approach has brought you T 17 G 4 T(652)479
The goal establishes the fact that EVERYONE involved in it WILL T 17 G 6 T(652)479
SEEM to be successful. Except that this attempt CONFLICTS WITH UNITY T 17 G 7 T(653)480
LACK of faith. They demonstrate that you did NOT believe that T 17 G 8 T(653)480
that you did NOT believe that the situation AND THE PROBLEM T 17 G 8 T(653)480
NO problem in ANY situation that faith will not solve. There T 17 H 1 T(653)480
meaning. Is it not possible that ALL your problems HAVE BEEN T 17 H 1 T(654)481
YOUR thoughts ABOUT the situation, that then became the JUSTIFICATION for T 17 H 2 T(654)481
not at all concerned with that. The error does not matter T 17 H 2 T(654)481
be to your advantage, for that DOES matter. Faithlessness brought to T 17 H 2 T(654)481
If you lack faith, ask that it be restored WHERE IT T 17 H 2 T(654)481
grow, to meet the goal that has been set. The goal T 17 H 3 T(654)481
forth. For you will see that peace and faith will not T 17 H 3 T(654)481
little conception of the infinite, that you have no idea how T 17 H 5 T(655)482
idea how great the strength that goes with you. T T 17 H 5 T(655)482
stars and to the universe that lies beyond them, your little T 17 H 6 T(655)482
T 17 H 7. That Cause has entered ANY situation T 17 H 7 T(656)483
Cause has entered ANY situation that shares its purpose. The light T 17 H 7 T(656)483
EVERYONE. There is NO situation that does NOT involve your WHOLE T 17 H 7 T(656)483
each situation with the faith that you would give each other T 17 H 7 T(656)483
MEANT to be. The meaning that the Holy Spirits purpose T 17 I 1 T(657)484
faithlessness, withheld and left UNUSED, that faith might answer to the T 17 I 1 T(657)484
it TO SOMETHING ELSE, believing that the something else’ PRODUCED it T 17 I 4 T(658)485
can NEVER change. And nothing that it needs to BE forever T 17 I 6 T(658)485
you have received. And demonstrate that you have risen FAR beyond T 17 I 6 T(658)485
risen FAR beyond ANY situation that could hold you back, and T 17 I 6 T(658)485
1. You who believe that God is fear made but T 18 B 1 T(660)487
divided again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible T 18 B 1 T(660)487
still IS what it was. That ONE error, which brought truth T 18 B 1 T(660)487
not realize the magnitude of that ONE error. It was so T 18 B 2 T(660)487
vast and so COMPLETELY incredible, that from it, a world of T 18 B 2 T(660)487
T 18 B 3. That was the first projection of T 18 B 3 T(660)487
you REALLY think it strange that a world in which EVERYTHING T 18 B 3 T(660)487
it is the other way; that truth is OUTSIDE, and error T 18 B 4 T(661)488
all. NONE OF THEM MATTERS. THAT they have in common, and T 18 B 5 T(661)488
to help Him show you that no substitute you made for T 18 B 7 T(662)489
so firmly joined in truth, that only God is there. And T 18 B 8 T(662)489
so holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken T 18 B 8 T(662)489
most holy and perfect reality, that we share in Him. T 18 B 8 T(662)489
Heaven beholds it, and rejoices that you have let it come T 18 B 9 T(662)489
And God Himself is glad that your relationship is as it T 18 B 9 T(662)489
and hopeless? Is it HERE that you would look for happiness T 18 B 10 T(663)490
to the most holy function that this world contains. It is T 18 B 11 T(663)490
It is the ONLY one that has no limits, and that T 18 B 11 T(663)490
that has no limits, and that reaches out to every broken T 18 B 11 T(663)490
you join. The holy light that brought you together MUST extend T 18 B 11 T(663)490
Does not a world that seems quite real arise in T 18 C 1 T(664)491
on awaking, because the fact that, in them, reality is so T 18 C 2 T(664)491
on awaking disturbing. You recognize that what you see on waking T 18 C 3 T(664)491
will. You do NOT realize that YOU are ATTACKING it, trying T 18 C 3 T(664)491
reality by substituting a world that you prefer IS terrifying. Your T 18 C 4 T(665)492
so you SUBSTITUTE the fantasy that REALITY is fearful, NOT what T 18 C 4 T(665)492
5. Dreams show you that you HAVE the power to T 18 C 5 T(665)492
you would have it, and that, BECAUSE you WANT it, you T 18 C 5 T(665)492
it, you do NOT doubt that it is real. Yet here T 18 C 5 T(665)492
world, clearly WITHIN your mind, that SEEMS to be outside. You T 18 C 5 T(665)492
it, nor do you realize that the emotions which the dream T 18 C 5 T(665)492
dream, and what THEY do that seem to MAKE THE DREAM T 18 C 5 T(665)492
DREAM. You do not realize that you are making them act T 18 C 5 T(665)492
you fail to recognize is that what CAUSED the dream, has T 18 C 6 T(665)492
WISH to make another world that is NOT real, REMAINS with T 18 C 6 T(665)492
dreams have different forms, and that is all. THEIR CONTENT IS T 18 C 6 T(665)492
8. We once said that the first change, before dreams T 18 C 8 T(666)493
change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are T 18 C 8 T(666)493
are changed to HAPPY dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit T 18 C 8 T(666)493
sight. Through it, the blessing that the Holy Spirit has laid T 18 C 9 T(666)493
will be EXTENDED. Think not that He has forgotten anyone, in T 18 C 9 T(666)493
given you. And think not that He has forgotten YOU, to T 18 C 9 T(666)493
eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make a world T 18 C 10 T(666)493
dreams can make a world that is unreal. The WISH to T 18 C 10 T(666)493
think it may be THIS that is the dream. You are T 18 C 10 T(666)493
dreams, you do not see that you have made, at last T 18 C 10 T(666)493
NO DREAM. Its coming means that you have chosen truth, and T 18 C 11 T(667)494
other dreams, and every fantasy that SEEMED to bring a light T 18 D 1 T(668)495
sought a blackness so complete that you could hide from truth T 18 D 1 T(668)495
What you forgot was simply that God can NOT destroy Himself T 18 D 1 T(668)495
be enough to remind you that your goal IS light. Truth T 18 D 2 T(668)495
And you do NOT realize that you are NOT afraid of T 18 D 3 T(668)495
for there is little doubt that what YOU think it means T 18 D 4 T(669)496
IS fearful. But what is that to us who travel surely T 18 D 4 T(669)496
not alone. Do you believe that I would LEAVE you in T 18 D 4 T(669)496
WHAT you accepted, but remember that your understanding is NOT necessary T 18 D 5 T(669)496
understanding is NOT necessary. All that was necessary was merely the T 18 D 5 T(669)496
merely the WISH to understand. That wish was the DESIRE TO T 18 D 5 T(669)496
D 6. Each instant that we spend together will teach T 18 D 6 T(669)496
spend together will teach you that this goal is possible, and T 18 D 6 T(669)496
Will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate T 18 D 6 T(669)496
you, for all the fear that you experience is really past T 18 D 8 T(670)497
with you. Not one ray that shines forever in the Mind T 18 D 9 T(670)497
to the extent of RECOGNIZING that you want it above all T 18 E 1 T(671)- 498
else. It is not necessary that you do more; indeed, it T 18 E 1 T(671)- 498
more; indeed, it is necessary that you realize that you can T 18 E 1 T(671)- 498
is necessary that you realize that you can NOT do more T 18 E 1 T(671)- 498
It is your realization that you NEED do so little T 18 E 2 T(671)- 498
you NEED do so little that enables HIM to give so T 18 E 2 T(671)- 498
this, and be NOT disturbed that shadows surround it. THAT IS T 18 E 2 T(671)- 498
disturbed that shadows surround it. THAT IS WHY YOU CAME. If T 18 E 2 T(671)- 498
it not in arrogance, assuming that YOU must achieve the state T 18 E 2 T(671)- 498
Humility will NEVER ask that you remain content with littleness T 18 E 3 T(671)- 498
littleness. But it DOES require that you be NOT content with T 18 E 3 T(671)- 498
arises from your fixed conviction that you are not WORTHY of T 18 E 3 T(671)- 498
have been wrong in thinking that it is

T 18 E 4 T(671)- 498
for holiness, and NOT believe that it is up to you T 18 E 4 T(672)- 499
with the lesson by believing that YOU MUST MAKE THE LEARNER T 18 E 5 T(672)- 499
be READY to receive it. That is but to confuse YOUR T 18 E 5 T(672)- 499
come to those who think that THEY must FIRST atone, but T 18 E 5 T(672)- 499
be. It is not needful that I make it ready for T 18 E 6 T(672)- 499
ready for Him, but only that I DO NOT INTERFERE with T 18 E 6 T(672)- 499
18 E 7. And that is all. Add MORE, and T 18 E 7 T(672)- 499
merely TAKE AWAY the little that is asked. Remember YOU MADE T 18 E 7 T(672)- 499
Remember YOU MADE GUILT, and that your plan for the ESCAPE T 18 E 7 T(672)- 499
And it is ONLY fear that you will add, if you T 18 E 7 T(672)- 499
Him but what He asks, that you may learn how LITTLE T 18 E 7 T(673)- 580
8. It is this that makes the holy instant so T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
insist there must be more that you need do. You find T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
difficult to ACCEPT the idea that you need give so LITTLE T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
hard for you to realize that it is not personally insulting T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
it is not personally insulting that your contribution and the Holy T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand nothing. Salvation T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
just BECAUSE it asks nothing that you cannot give RIGHT NOW T 18 E 8 T(673)- 580
E 9. Forget not that it has been your decision T 18 E 9 T(673)- 580
your decision to make everything that IS natural and easy for T 18 E 9 T(673)- 580
but has already HAPPENED. And that is why the past has T 18 E 9 T(673)- 580
and hatred from your mind. That is ITS function. Never attempt T 18 F 2 T(674)- 521
the Holy Spirits help. That is HIS function. Your part T 18 F 2 T(674)- 521
the Atonement, and MAKE SURE that you fulfill it easily. And T 18 F 2 T(674)- 521
change the purpose is all that is required to RECEIVE the T 18 F 4 T(674)- 521
holy relationship a dream. All that remains of dreams within it T 18 F 5 T(674)- 521
of dreams within it is that it is still a SPECIAL T 18 F 5 T(674)- 521
thousands on thousands who believe that love is

T 18 F 5 T(674)- 521
Let Him fulfill the function that He GAVE to your relationship T 18 F 5 T(675)- 572
And NOTHING will be wanting that would make of it what T 18 F 5 T(675)- 572
in this. But forget not that your relationship IS ONE, and T 18 F 6 T(675)- 572
and so it MUST be that whatever threatens the peace of T 18 F 6 T(675)- 572
BLESSING, lies in the fact that it is now impossible for T 18 F 6 T(675)- 572
with it alone. Never believe that this is necessary, or even T 18 F 6 T(675)- 572
so is it equally impossible that the holy instant come to T 18 F 7 T(675)- 572
due him. AND BE GLAD that he can pay his debt T 18 F 7 T(675)- 572
this holy instant for myself That I may SHARE it with T 18 F 7 T(675)- 572
love. It is not possible that I can have it WITHOUT T 18 F 7 T(675)- 572
offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on T 18 F 7 T(675)- 572
THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE YOU. That is what you must ultimately T 18 G 1 T(676)503
learn, for it is in that realization that the Kingdom of T 18 G 1 T(676)503
it is in that realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is T 18 G 1 T(676)503
perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else. Nothing T 18 G 1 T(676)503
there to give? The belief that you could give AND GET T 18 G 2 T(676)503
possible. And it is MIND that seems to be fragmented and T 18 G 3 T(676)503
never what the BODY does that seems to satisfy. Unless the T 18 G 3 T(676)503
will CONFLICTS with His, but that is all. It is insane T 18 G 6 T(677)504
done this to a thing that has no meaning, proclaiming it T 18 G 7 T(678)505
is the host of God that YOU have made. And neither T 18 G 7 T(678)505
reached, You HATE the prison that you made, and would destroy T 18 G 8 T(678)505
REALLY entails, you will realize that it is a sudden UNawareness T 18 G 12 T(680)507
What REALLY happens is that you have GIVEN UP the T 18 G 13 T(680)507
fear of union. The love that INSTANTLY replaces it EXTENDS to T 18 G 13 T(680)507
REGARDLESS of the physical distance that SEEMS to be between you T 18 G 14 T(680)507
sudden EXPANSION of the self that takes place with your DESIRE T 18 G 16 T(681)508
What plans do you make that do NOT involve its comfort T 18 H 1 T(682)631a
it is in this instant that the miracle of Atonement happens T 18 H 2 T(682)631a
the same. And every instant that you spend WITHOUT awareness of T 18 H 2 T(682)631a
Here is the ultimate release that everyone will one day find T 18 H 7 T(683)631b
you insist on using means that have served others well, neglecting T 18 H 8 T(683)631b
which the body is ABSENT, that will keep it so, in T 18 H 10 T(684) 631c
the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For T 18 I 1 T(685) 509
limit the UNlimited. Think not that this is merely allegorical; for T 18 I 1 T(685) 509
will not see the grandeur that surrounds you. T 18 T 18 I 1 T(685) 509
splintered from the whole, proclaiming that, within it, is YOUR Kingdom T 18 I 2 T(685) 509
a tiny part of it that, could you but appreciate the T 18 I 3 T(685) 509
whole, you would see instantly that it is like the smallest T 18 I 3 T(685) 509
activity. They merely continue, unaware that they are feared and hated T 18 I 4 T(686)510
tiny segment of themselves. Even that segment is not LOST to T 18 I 4 T(686)510
ocean, your Self continues, unmindful that this tiny part regards ITSELF T 18 I 6 T(686)510
nor ocean is the power that rests in you. Would you T 18 I 7 T(686)510
8. The little aspect that you think you set apart T 18 I 8 T(687)511
it not, then, be there that you would call on love T 18 I 8 T(687)511
and unproductive, scorched and joyless, that makes up your little kingdom T 18 I 8 T(687)511
realize the life and joy that love would bring to it T 18 I 8 T(687)511
will lift the tiny aspect that you tried to hide from T 18 I 11 T(688)512
request. You do NOT recognize that love has come, because you T 18 I 12 T(688)512
ancient journey not realizing yet that it is over. You are T 18 I 13 T(688)512
you have also been told that error must be corrected at T 18 J 1 T(689)513
your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate T 18 J 1 T(689)513
seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs. The T 18 J 1 T(689)513
little and limited, so fragmented that they are meaningless. From the T 18 J 3 T(690)514
external. There are NO messages that speak of what lies underneath T 18 J 4 T(690)514
it is NOT the body that could speak of this. Its T 18 J 4 T(690)514
the fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were made to keep the T 18 J 5 T(690)514
the guilt in place, so that the world could RISE from T 18 J 5 T(690)514
as long as YOU believe that guilt is real. For the T 18 J 6 T(691)515
heavy-seeming barrier, this artificial floor that looks like rock, is like T 18 J 7 T(691)515
bank of low, dark clouds that seem to be a solid T 18 J 7 T(691)515
softly to the mountain tops that rise above it, and has T 18 J 7 T(691)515
return to you, assuring you that it is all THERE. Figures T 18 J 8 T(691)515
Source. Here you are led, that God Himself can take the T 18 J 11 T(692)516
words. We need remember only that

--- Manuscript
T 18 K 1 T(692)516
recognized all it is NOT. That is the INTERFERENCE; that is T 18 K 2 T(693)517
NOT. That is the INTERFERENCE; that is what needs to be T 18 K 2 T(693)517
so FAR transcends ALL learning, that EVERYTHING you learned is meaninglessT 18 K 2 T(693)517
to REMIND you of all that lies beyond it. Yet it T 18 K 3 T(693)517
Yet it is THROUGH forgiveness that it will BE remembered. T 18 K 3 T(693)517
now. And it is there that peace awaits you.
T 18 K 4 T(693)517
1. We said before that, when a situation has been T 19 A 1 T(694)518
assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith will NEVER T 19 A 1 T(694)518
Him in a UNITED purpose that MAKES this purpose real because T 19 A 2 T(694)518
FOR. And it IS obvious that a segment of the mind T 19 B 1 T(694)518
Purpose to DEMONSTRATE the fact that separation has occurred. The body T 19 B 1 T(694)518
not overlook our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to illusionsT 19 B 2 T(695)519
CANNOT be difficult to realize that faith MUST be the opposite T 19 B 3 T(695)519
faith would remove ALL obstacles that SEEM to rise between them T 19 B 3 T(695)519
INEVITABLE compromise is the belief that the BODY must be healed T 19 B 4 T(695)519
needed. And it is here that healing IS. For God gave T 19 B 5 T(696)520
heal. It is the sign that you HAVE accepted the Atonement T 19 B 8 T(696)520
them AS ONE. And in that One you see your faith T 19 B 8 T(697)521
yourself. It is HIS Love that joins you, and FOR His T 19 B 9 T(697)521
a MIND. And the mind that RECEIVES it, looks INSTANTLY beyond T 19 B 12 T(698)522
you healed by grace TOGETHER, that YOU may heal through faith T 19 B 12 T(698)522
faith. And there it is that you will realize that there T 19 B 13 T(698)522
is that you will realize that there is NOTHING faith can T 19 B 13 T(698)522
DO. Returning the glad tidings that it was done, to you T 19 B 13 T(698)522
for the most holy garden that He would make of it T 19 B 14 T(698)522
the process of making lovely that they begin. For faith is T 19 B 14 T(698)522
EXCEPT BY THE MIND THAT THOUGHT IT. For it remains T 19 B 15 T(699)523
1. It is ESSENTIAL that error be not confused with T 19 C 1 T(699)523
based on the firm conviction that minds, NOT bodies, can attack T 19 C 1 T(699)523
for correction. And the belief that punishment IS correction is clearly T 19 C 1 T(699)523
SUCCEED. Sin is the proclamation that attack is real, and guilt T 19 C 2 T(699)523
is NOTHING he can do that would REALLY change his reality T 19 C 3 T(699)523
nor make him REALLY guilty. That is what sin WOULD do T 19 C 3 T(699)523
egos insane religion is that sin is NOT error, but T 19 C 4 T(700)524
TRUTH. And it is INNOCENCE that would deceive. PURITY is seen T 19 C 4 T(700)524
And it is this doctrine that REPLACES the reality of the T 19 C 4 T(700)524
Father created him, and willed that he be forever. Is this T 19 C 4 T(700)524
IS possible to have faith that a MISTAKE can be corrected T 19 C 7 T(700)524
heavily defended than the idea that sin is real; the NATURAL T 19 C 8 T(701)525
ACCOMPLISHED. Would you not RATHER that all this be nothing more T 19 C 9 T(701)525
and so easily escaped from that its whole correction is like T 19 C 9 T(701)525
mist into the sun? For that is all it IS. Perhaps T 19 C 9 T(701)525
to AGREE with the ego, that it is far better to T 19 C 9 T(701)525
Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the T 19 D 1 T(702)526
is an idea of evil that can not BE corrected, and T 19 D 1 T(702)526
does not think it possible that love, NOT fear, is really T 19 D 2 T(702)526
the FORM of sin, granting that it was an error, but T 19 D 3 T(702)526
perception, for it is SIN that calls for punishment, NOT error T 19 D 3 T(702)526
nor can He RECOGNIZE mistakes that cannot be corrected. For a T 19 D 4 T(703)527
be corrected. For a mistake that cannot be corrected is meaningless T 19 D 4 T(703)527
hidden; a call for help that you would keep UNHEARD, and T 19 D 4 T(703)527
is like a downward spiral that seems to travel down from T 19 D 5 T(703)527
approach the line, you realize that IT was not affected by T 19 D 6 T(703)527
But sin is the belief that YOUR perception is UNCHANGEABLE, and T 19 D 7 T(704)528
YOUR perception is UNCHANGEABLE, and that the MIND must ACCEPT AS T 19 D 7 T(704)528
judged insane. The ONLY power that could CHANGE perception is thus T 19 D 7 T(704)528
you are tempted to believe that sin is real, remember this T 19 D 8 T(704)528
HIMSELF, and it is impossible that what is PART of Him T 19 D 8 T(704)528
it not EASIER to believe that YOU have been mistaken than T 19 D 8 T(704)528
9. While you believe that YOUR reality, or your brother T 19 D 9 T(704)528
in sin. While you believe that BODIES can unite, you will T 19 D 9 T(704)528
find guilt attractive, and believe that sin is precious. For the T 19 D 9 T(704)528
is precious. For the belief that bodies LIMIT the mind leads T 19 D 9 T(704)528
because you do not realize that its FOUNDATION has gone. Its T 19 D 11 T(705)529
all its ravages, the INSTANT that you give it no power T 19 D 12 T(705)529
glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been GIVEN you. T 19 D 12 T(705)529
REMOVED, but for the glory that has been RESTORED, for you T 19 D 13 T(705)529
rest. Here is the rest that waits for all, after the T 19 D 14 T(706)- 530
The Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place T 19 D 17 T(707)- 531
to Him, He asks but that YOU receive FOR Him. And T 19 D 17 T(707)- 531
them will show you all that you NEED to see. When T 19 D 18 T(707)- 531
1. The first obstacle that peace must flow across is T 19 E 1 T(708)532
homeless? What do you think that it must DISPOSSESS, to dwell T 19 E 2 T(708)532
cherish still against each other, that is the first obstacle the T 19 E 3 T(708)532
just by a little. But that little IS a limit you T 19 E 3 T(708)532
barriers against it. And all that seems to stand between you T 19 E 6 T(709)533
belief in sin, is all that remains of what once SEEMED T 19 E 9 T(710)534
sees NOT. And each believes that what the other looks upon T 19 F 2 T(711)535
with just the same devotion that love looks on itself. And T 19 F 2 T(711)535
scrap of evil and sin that they can find, losing none T 19 F 2 T(711)535
even SEE. The fierce attraction that guilt holds for fear, is T 19 F 3 T(711)535
The world contains no fear that you laid not upon it T 19 F 7 T(712)536
littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot keep us apart T 19 F 9 T(714)538
of sin, while you believe that it can get you what T 19 F 10 T(714)538
you want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure T 19 F 10 T(714)538
pleasure, you will ALSO believe that it can bring you pain T 19 F 10 T(714)538
And to LIMIT the happiness that you would have, CALLS upon T 19 F 10 T(714)538
19 G 1. We said that peace must first surmount the T 19 G 1 T(714)538
NOT WANTED. The second obstacle that peace must flow across, and T 19 G 1 T(714)538
the first, is the belief that the body is valuable FOR T 19 G 1 T(714)538
2.. THIS is the value that you think peace would ROB T 19 G 2 T(715)539
This is what you believe that it would dispossess, and leave T 19 G 2 T(715)539
the body REALLY given you, that justifies your strange belief that T 19 G 2 T(715)539
that justifies your strange belief that in it lies salvation? Do T 19 G 2 T(715)539
salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in T 19 G 2 T(715)539
the SOURCE of the idea that love is fear. T 19 T 19 G 2 T(715)539
peace. Such is the message that I gave them, for YOU T 19 G 3 T(715)539
only the messengers of FEAR that see the body, for they T 19 G 3 T(715)539
it. What are these obstacles that you would interpose between peace T 19 G 4 T(715)539
peace. Are you not GLAD that Heaven can not BE sacrificed T 19 G 5 T(715)539
you? There IS no obstacle that you can place before our T 19 G 5 T(716)540
the END of guilt? Remembering that what I signify to you T 19 G 7 T(716)540
of sin, and shows you that its power is gone forever T 19 G 8 T(716)540
will YOU learn the freedom that I taught ,by teaching freedom T 19 G 9 T(717)541
IN Him, it IS possible that our communion, where we are T 19 G 9 T(717)541
focus of the new perception that will bring light to all T 19 G 9 T(717)541
means for reaching the goal that you ASSIGN to it. T 19 H 2 T(717)541
the home of the emotion that called them forth, and therefore T 19 H 3 T(717)541
which it is that is compatible with YOU. Here T 19 H 3 T(718)542
it IS free. But all that LIES in it WILL come T 19 H 3 T(718)542
find pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for T 19 H 5 T(719)543
dutifully, and obeying the idea that pain is pleasure. It is T 19 H 6 T(719)543
pleasure. It is this IDEA that underlies all of the ego T 19 H 6 T(719)543
upon. To YOU, it teaches that the bodys pleasure is T 19 H 6 T(719)543
transmits TO YOU the feelings that you WANT. Like any communication T 19 H 7 T(719)543
receives and sends the messages that it is given. It has T 19 H 7 T(719)543
this. And both also recognize that here, THE SENDER AND RECEIVER T 19 H 7 T(719)543
from you, in the belief that, for your message of attack T 19 H 8 T(720)544
more. The great deceiver recognizes that this is not so, but T 19 H 8 T(720)544
impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has DEDICATED the T 19 H 9 T(720)544
in it ALL its faith that this can be accomplished. Its T 19 H 9 T(720)544
Not one but MUST believe that YIELDING to the attraction of T 19 H 9 T(720)544
egos disciples to realize that they have dedicated themselves to T 19 H 10 T(720)544
the third of the obstacles that peace must flow across. No-one T 19 I 1 T(721)545
marching in the slow procession that honors their grim master, lord T 19 I 2 T(721)545
it for life. We know that the RESULT of an idea T 19 I 3 T(721)545
sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them T 19 J 2 T(722)546
by showing you the one that SEEMS to be the hardest T 19 J 4 T(722)546
the silencer of the Voice that speaks for God. Yet the T 19 J 5 T(723)547
orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless before T 19 J 6 T(723)547
unable to protect the life that He created, against the ego T 19 J 6 T(723)547
love, preserved from every thought that would attack it, and quietly T 19 J 8 T(724)548
sin and death. Remember, then, that neither sign nor symbol should T 19 J 10 T(724)548
life, the Source of everything that lives, the Father of the T 19 K 1 T(726)550
of universes, and of everything that lies even BEYOND them would T 19 K 1 T(726)550
it, nor even to SUSPECT that it is there. This is T 19 K 3 T(726)550
is the attraction of death that makes life seem to be T 19 K 4 T(727)551
in His Father. Every obstacle that peace must flow across is T 19 K 4 T(727)551
the same way; the fear that RAISED it yields to the T 19 K 4 T(727)551
presence of the quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation T 19 K 5 T(727)551
your eyes. For you realize that if you look on THIS T 19 K 6 T(727)551
home,’ will vanish. Nothing that you remember NOW, will you T 19 K 6 T(727)551
raise your eyes. Yet all that WILL occur is YOU will T 19 K 7 T(728)552
and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy T 19 K 7 T(728)552
you CANNOT control, and thoughts that come to you AGAINST your T 19 K 7 T(728)552
L 1. Forget not that you came this far TOGETHER T 19 L 1 T(728)552
was surely NOT the ego that led you here. No obstacle T 19 L 1 T(728)552
let us join in faith that He Who brought us here T 19 L 2 T(728)552
the innocence you need, and that you will ACCEPT it for T 19 L 2 T(728)552
sense. How can you KNOW that it is over, unless you T 19 L 3 T(729)553
all the pity and forgiveness that would HEAL it gives way T 19 L 5 T(729)553
Choose which he is, remembering that you will RECEIVE of him T 19 L 6 T(729)553
is no grace of Heaven that you cannot OFFER to each T 19 L 8 T(730)554
And offer thanks to God that he is holy, and has T 19 L 9 T(730)554
to give. Into the hands that give, the gift is given T 19 L 10 T(731)555
other, and SHARE in it, that we may rise as one T 19 L 10 T(731)555
Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit T 19 L 10 T(731)555
leadeth you and me together, that we might meet here in T 19 L 11 T(731)555
is the rest and quiet that you seek, the REASON for T 19 L 12 T(731)555
choose what it will BE that he receives. And he will T 19 L 13 T(732)556
so gentle, yet so strong, that it would lift you far T 19 L 14 T(732)556
Here is the ONLY purpose that gives this world, and the T 19 L 14 T(732)556
symbol of the whole journey that the Son of God has T 20 B 3 T(733) 557
a light upon his altar, that they may see what he T 20 C 3 T(735)559
own. Here is the value that you lay upon your brother T 20 C 3 T(735)559
what he is. Forget not that it is YOUR savior to T 20 C 3 T(736)560
you his Friend for me, that I may be forgiven, and T 20 C 4 T(736)560
home, and it is separation that you offer me. T T 20 C 4 T(736)560
the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks T 20 C 5 T(736)560
for the UNDOING of illusion that God Himself could give. For T 20 C 7 T(737)561
freed from all the terror that kept it hidden. There IS T 20 C 8 T(737)561
him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies, and T 20 C 9 T(738)562
others way. The holiness that leads us is WITHIN us T 20 C 9 T(738)562
we join in glad awareness that the Son of God is T 20 C 10 T(738)562
in his communion with all that is within him. Now are T 20 C 10 T(738)562
RECOGNIZE the home that called to you. Give joyously T 20 C 11 T(739)563
and receive the bright awareness that leads you home. The lamp T 20 C 11 T(739)563
another. And by the hands that GAVE it to each other T 20 C 11 T(739)563
in perception, or a belief that what was so before has T 20 D 1 T(740)564
the egos fixed belief that all relationships DEPEND upon adjustments T 20 D 2 T(740)564
for it is WITHIN it that they RECOGNIZED their holiness, and T 20 D 3 T(740)564
them. And so they saw that it was IN them, NOT T 20 D 3 T(740)564
it was WHAT THEY SAW that answered . YOU make the world T 20 D 3 T(740)564
and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little T 20 D 4 T(741)565
in sin, but the belief that made it as you see T 20 D 7 T(742)566
thing in all the universe that does not know. T T 20 D 7 T(742)566
look on IS the answer that it gave you. And YOU T 20 D 8 T(742)566
Did you see the holiness that shone in both of you T 20 D 9 T(742)566
you, to bless the other? That is the purpose of your T 20 D 9 T(742)566
attainment of the one thing that still would have it be T 20 D 9 T(742)566
faith with me, who KNOW that it is justified.
T 20 D 11 T(743)567
the Holy Spirit, Who knows that, as you give you GAIN T 20 E 1 T(745)568
already given AND RECEIVED all that is true. The UNtrue He T 20 E 2 T(745)568
laws of God in minds that have established OTHER laws, and T 20 E 3 T(745)568
laws were made to GUARANTEE that you would make mistakes, and T 20 E 3 T(745)568
madness? And is it THIS that you would see within your T 20 E 4 T(746)569
are, and in the freedom that you see in HIM, you T 20 E 4 T(746)569
THEM, who learned of freedom, that you should ask what freedom T 20 E 5 T(746)569
same. But those who KNOW that they are all the same T 20 E 6 T(746)569
with anything except the part that has been given YOU to T 20 E 6 T(746)569
your help. But think not that He does not need your T 20 E 6 T(746)569
Holy Spirits plan, now that it SHARES His purpose. And T 20 E 6 T(747)570
and it is his COMPLETION that he remembers there. This is T 20 E 7 T(747)570
purpose GIVEN you. Think not that your forgiveness of each other T 20 E 7 T(747)570
when this has been achieved, that you will rest WITHOUT them T 20 E 8 T(747)570
time, there is so much that must be done BEFORE the T 20 E 8 T(747)570
yourself if it is possible that GOD would have a plan T 20 E 8 T(747)570
a plan for your salvation that does NOT work. Once you T 20 E 8 T(747)570
plan as the ONE function that you would fulfill, there WILL T 20 E 8 T(747)570
everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As THAT T 20 E 9 T(747)570
that you would fulfill. As THAT was given you, so will T 20 E 9 T(747)570
beat as one. And in that single heart beat is the T 20 F 2 T(748)571
but all it means is that it WANTS the other for T 20 F 3 T(748)571
Do you recognize the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt T 20 F 3 T(748)571
brightly in your grateful vision, that you will merely love him T 20 F 4 T(749)572
of Christ, and yet insist that judgment still has meaning? For T 20 F 4 T(749)572
body to communicate. The sight that SEES the body, has no T 20 F 5 T(749)572
The little breath of eternity that runs through time like golden T 20 F 5 T(749)572
time. IT NEVER CHANGES. All that it ever held or will T 20 F 6 T(749)572
Here is the perfect faith that you will one day offer T 20 F 6 T(749)572
BY remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to pain T 20 F 7 T(750)573
BODY offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him T 20 F 7 T(750)573
you. And yet have faith that He Who sees the gift T 20 F 7 T(750)573
in him. What IS he, that the Creator of the universe T 20 F 8 T(750)573
IT HAS NO SECRETS; nothing that it would keep apart and T 20 G 2 T(751)574
merely throws away, for all that IT could offer, is seen T 20 G 4 T(751)574
hope abandoned. Even the idols that are worshipped here are shrouded T 20 G 6 T(752)575
is NOT. No more than that. The instant that the T 20 G 8 T(752)575
more than that. The instant that the

---
T 20 G 8 T(752)575
relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy instant time was born T 20 G 8 T(753)576
SEEMED to have a home, that held together for a little T 20 G 8 T(753)576
illusions CAN attract the minds that have TRANSCENDED them, and left T 20 G 9 T(753)576
with you. But what is that to those who have been T 20 G 13 T(754)577
course has NOTHING in it that is not consistent. The SEEMING T 20 H 1 T(755)578
is impossible to imagine one that asks so little, or could T 20 H 1 T(755)578
The period of discomfort that follows the sudden change in T 20 H 2 T(755)578
are not, let us admit that YOU are inconsistent. A purpose T 20 H 2 T(755)578
them a little closer, remember that if you think THEY are T 20 H 3 T(755)578
darkness, and it is here that the illusions you hold about T 20 H 6 T(756)579
the body is the sign that you LACK vision, and have T 20 H 7 T(757)580
as you ask, forget not that HIS sinlessness is YOUR escape T 20 H 9 T(757)580
the asking. And think not that you need make either means T 20 I 3 T(758)581
to see your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before your T 20 I 4 T(758)581
him. The Holy Spirit GUARANTEES that what God has willed and T 20 I 4 T(758)581
purpose now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready T 20 I 4 T(758)581
given. You have the vision that enables you to see the T 20 I 4 T(758)581
event or situation, no perplexity, that vision will not solve. All T 20 I 6 T(759)582
stand condemned before you. All that could SAVE you, you will T 20 I 7 T(760)583
up? What if you realized that those who SEEM to walk T 20 I 8 T(761)583
serve a purpose, and when that PURPOSE is no longer held T 20 I 9 T(761)583
do you want the purpose that they serve? This world SEEMS T 20 I 9 T(761)583
reality. It still is true that nothing IS without. Yet, upon T 20 I 10 T(761)583
the nothing ALL the meaning that it holds. What has NO T 20 I 10 T(761)583
THEN looks out. ALL meaning that you give the world outside T 20 I 10 T(761)583
happy dreams; your wild hallucinations, that show you all fearful outcomesT 20 I 11 T(762)584
AWAY from sin, reminding you that it is NOT reality that T 20 I 11 T(762)584
that it is NOT reality that frightens you, and that the T 20 I 11 T(762)584
reality that frightens you, and that the errors which you made T 20 I 11 T(762)584
beside them in dancing brooks that never waste away; who need T 20 I 12 T(762)584
And NEVER need you think that there IS something else for T 20 I 12 T(762)584
GAVE it, nothing more than that. But, though it is no T 21 A 1 T(763)585
it is no MORE than that, it is NOT less. Therefore T 21 A 1 T(763)585
and NOT a cause. And that is WHY order of miracles T 21 A 1 T(763)585
free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions T 21 A 2 T(763)585
walk unharmed through open doorways that they THOUGHT were closed. And T 21 B 1 T(763)585
because you still remain uncertain that vision gives you MORE than T 21 B 3 T(764)586
does, and you HAVE learned that both you CANNOT have. The T 21 B 3 T(764)586
see in their imagination, believing that their choice is that, or T 21 B 4 T(765)587
believing that their choice is that, or nothing. They hate the T 21 B 4 T(765)587
it serves to remind them that THEY are incomplete and bitterly T 21 B 4 T(765)587
afraid to lose the little that they have. And so it T 21 B 4 T(765)587
they ADJUST to loneliness, believing that to KEEP the body is T 21 B 4 T(765)587
is to SAVE the little that they have. T 21 T 21 B 4 T(765)587
then. And yet you know that nothing in the world you T 21 B 6 T(765)587
an arc of golden light that stretches, as you look, into T 21 B 6 T(766)588
is it possible to imagine that anything COULD be outside. For T 21 B 7 T(766)588
outside. For there IS nowhere that this light is not. This T 21 B 7 T(766)588
8. ACCEPT the vision that can show you this, and T 21 B 8 T(766)588
the blind can see, for that same song they sing in T 21 B 8 T(766)588
them as well. The blindness that they made will not withstand T 21 B 8 T(766)588
true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be T 21 C 1 T(767)589
it is obscure, but rather that this LITTLE cost seemed, in T 21 C 1 T(767)589
This is the ONLY thing that you need do for vision T 21 C 2 T(767)589
I would achieve. And everything that SEEMS to happen TO me T 21 C 2 T(767)589
asked. Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the T 21 C 2 T(767)589
done TO you. Acknowledge but that YOU have been mistaken, and T 21 C 2 T(767)589
OUTSIDE him. It is impossible that the happenings that come to T 21 C 3 T(767)589
is impossible that the happenings that come to him were NOT T 21 C 3 T(767)589
power to release your savior, that HE

---
T 21 C 3 T(767)589
its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to T 21 C 4 T(768)590
it is willing to see that it was wrong. T T 21 C 4 T(768)590
is but the idle witness that you were RIGHT. This witness T 21 C 5 T(768)590
you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was true T 21 C 5 T(768)590
of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an T 21 C 6 T(769)591
ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things T 21 C 6 T(769)591
idea that it is possible that things should HAPPEN to the T 21 C 6 T(769)591
be. This is the statement that he HAS the power to T 21 C 6 T(769)591
WHICH YOU WORSHIP. And anything that threatens this, seems to ATTACK T 21 C 7 T(769)591
it is invested. Think not that you are faithless, for your T 21 C 7 T(769)591
21 C 8. All that is asked of you is T 21 C 8 T(769)591
wants. We have already said that wishful thinking is how the T 21 C 9 T(770)592
both. It is as needful that you recognize you MADE the T 21 C 11 T(770)592
the world you see, as that you recognize that you did T 21 C 11 T(770)592
see, as that you recognize that you did NOT create yourself T 21 C 11 T(770)592
denying your Creator, and BELIEVING that you made yourself. For, if T 21 C 11 T(770)592
Son does not delude himself that he is INDEPENDENT of his T 21 C 12 T(771)593
your whole reality. But grant that EVERYTHING that seems to stand T 21 C 13 T(771)593
reality. But grant that EVERYTHING that seems to stand BETWEEN you T 21 C 13 T(771)593
seeming INDEPENDENCE of its source that kept you prisoner. This IS T 21 C 13 T(771)593
This IS the same delusion that YOU are independent of the T 21 C 13 T(771)593
attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted PURPOSE T 21 D 1 T(772)594
PURPOSE of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit T 21 D 1 T(772)594
is gone. You may IMAGINE that you still experience its effects T 21 D 2 T(772)594
faith, and with the persistence that faith INEVITABLY brings. The power T 21 D 2 T(772)594
is it strange to you that faith can move mountains? This T 21 D 3 T(772)594
BELIEVES in them, WITHDRAWING faith that they can hold him, and T 21 D 3 T(772)594
5. It is impossible that the Son of God LACK T 21 D 5 T(773)595
the Son of God believe that he is powerless. Thus is T 21 D 5 T(773)595
for you. You made perception, that

--- Manuscript
T 21 D 6 T(773)595
a means to teach you that the vision of a HOLY T 21 D 6 T(774)596
vision, as all the means that once served sin are REDIRECTED T 21 D 7 T(774)596
be GIVEN them. The miracles that follow this decision, are also T 21 D 8 T(774)596
Brothers, the Holy Spirit KNOWS that sacrifice brings NOTHING. He makes T 21 D 9 T(775)596a
YOU ARE AFRAID. The gift that He has given you is T 21 D 9 T(775)596a
you is more than ANYTHING that stands this side of Heaven T 21 D 9 T(775)596a
way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are T 21 D 11 T(776)597
sight. Nor is it possible that what GIVES light, be one T 21 D 11 T(776)597
Spirit will NEVER teach you that you are sinful. ERRORS He T 21 E 1 T(777)598
because of THIS. Your faith that sin is there but witnesses T 21 E 1 T(777)598
there but witnesses your desire that it BE there to see T 21 E 1 T(777)598
the source of fear. Remember that the ego is NOT alone T 21 E 1 T(777)598
detached themselves from their belief that their identity lies in the T 21 E 3 T(777)598
look upon ITSELF. It KNOWS that it is sinless. How, otherwise T 21 E 4 T(778)599
you. And now you recognize that it was NOT the ego T 21 E 4 T(778)599
it was NOT the ego that joined the Holy Spirits T 21 E 4 T(778)599
E 5. Think not that THIS is madness. For this T 21 E 5 T(778)599
hearts. For you have realized that all the gifts it would T 21 E 5 T(778)599
Heaven. And now it sees that Heaven HAS come to earth T 21 E 6 T(778)599
by fears insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This T 21 E 7 T(779)600
see, and it is sure that you will see YOURSELF as T 21 F 3 T(780)601
and unreality. You WILL believe that you are helpless prey to T 21 F 3 T(780)601
this. And thus it recognizes that miracles do NOT affect ANOTHER T 21 F 4 T(781)602
not ask it. Like ALL that stems from reason, the basic T 21 F 5 T(781)602
be a part of you that KNOWS His Will and SHARES T 21 F 7 T(782)603
because it does not realize that it EXISTS. T 21 T 21 F 10 T(782)603
you HAVE asked the question that the ego will NEVER ask T 21 F 12 T(783)604
MUST have come from something that you do NOT know, but T 21 F 12 T(783)604
for, you will not believe that it is yours to give T 21 G 1 T(784)605
deceives you about the power that is IN you, to MAKE T 21 G 1 T(784)605
belief, you BOTH will think that you are damned. T T 21 G 1 T(784)605
can. But reason tells you that you CANNOT see your brother T 21 G 2 T(784)605
separate. But REASON tells you that this must be WRONG. T 21 G 2 T(784)605
joined, how COULD it be that you have private thoughts? And T 21 G 3 T(784)605
thoughts? And how COULD thoughts that enter into what but SEEMS T 21 G 3 T(784)605
things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently T 21 G 4 T(784)605
is an ATTACK on reason, that drives it out of mind T 21 G 4 T(784)605
reason. What CAN there be that stands BETWEEN what is continuous T 21 G 5 T(785)606
tell him, BY your choice, that he is damned; separate from T 21 G 6 T(785)606
you can teach him only that he IS as you would T 21 G 6 T(785)606
think not this is fearful. That you are JOINED to him T 21 G 6 T(785)606
truth? Reason will tell you that this fact is your RELEASE T 21 G 6 T(785)606
make him whole. The instant that you choose to let YOURSELF T 21 G 7 T(785)606
let YOURSELF be healed, in that

--- Manuscript
T 21 G 7 T(785)606
is given you to UNDERSTAND that this is so. For reason T 21 G 7 T(786)607
truth. THIS is the burden that is terrible, and NOT the T 21 G 8 T(786)607
terrible, and NOT the truth. That you are JOINED is your T 21 G 8 T(786)607
him, reason will tell you that it CANNOT be you stand T 21 G 10 T(786)607
alone does reason tell you that you can understand what you T 21 G 10 T(786)607
brother. Yet what is there that could be nearer you, than T 21 G 10 T(786)607
G 11. The power that YOU have over the Son T 21 G 11 T(787)608
is BY his own desire that he is freed. Such is T 21 G 11 T(787)608
Do you not see that all your misery comes from T 21 H 1 T(788)609
comes from the strange belief that you are powerless? BEING HELPLESS T 21 H 1 T(788)609
s CONDITION; the ONE requirement that it demands, to be believed T 21 H 1 T(788)609
only those who FIRST believe that they are little, could SEE T 21 H 1 T(788)609
themselves as helpless MUST believe that they are NOT the Son T 21 H 2 T(788)609
Because they do not know that they are one with HIM T 21 H 3 T(788)609
even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to T 21 H 5 T(789)610
glimpse of the great enemy that always eludes its murderous attack T 21 H 5 T(789)610
21 H 6. Who that believes in sin would DARE T 21 H 6 T(789)610
NO enemy? COULD he admit that no-one MADE him powerless? Reason T 21 H 6 T(789)610
NOT. It is NOT necessary that he understand HOW he can T 21 H 6 T(789)610
emphasize the sameness of things that ARE the same. This final T 21 H 7 T(790)611
difference attests to your belief that TRUTH may be the enemy T 21 H 7 T(790)611
H 8. Forget not that the choice of truth or T 21 H 8 T(790)611
let your reason tell you that it MUST be answered, and T 21 H 9 T(791)612
WILL be clear to you that, as you look on the T 21 H 9 T(791)612
HAVE answered yes, without perceiving that yes MUST mean NOT NO T 21 H 12 T(792)613
as ever-changing, now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow T 21 H 12 T(792)613
or happiness in changing forms that shift with time and place T 21 H 13 T(792)613
and place, is an illusion that has no meaning. Happiness MUST T 21 H 13 T(792)613
s desire remains the proof that he is wrong who sees T 21 H 13 T(793)614
To bodies, YES. The thoughts that seem to kill are those T 21 I 1 T(793)614
those which teach the thinker that he CAN be killed. And T 21 I 1 T(793)614
the ephemeral, for it DESIRES that everything be like itself, and T 21 I 2 T(793)614
Reason will tell you that you CANNOT ask for happiness T 21 I 3 T(793)614
has ALREADY given him all that he REALLY wants. But what T 21 I 4 T(794)615
as His, -- a power that is NOT lost in your T 21 I 4 T(794)615
it is the final one that REALLY asks if you are T 21 I 4 T(794)615
there to see; the happiness that COULD be ALWAYS yours. Here T 21 I 5 T(794)615
change. For you HAVE asked that nothing STAND BETWEEN the holiness T 21 I 5 T(794)615
DIFFERENCE, seen but not real, that makes the need for sin T 22 A 2 T(795)- 616
perhaps beneath a common roof that shelters neither; in the same T 22 A 3 T(795)- 616
ALL sense of differences, so that the sameness that lies beneath T 22 A 5 T(796)- 617
differences, so that the sameness that lies beneath them all becomes T 22 A 5 T(796)- 617
you MUST then believe is that you are NOT yourself. You T 22 B 1 T(797)617a
to wander off, for only that seems certain. T 22 T 22 B 1 T(797)617a
you. Reason would tell you that the world you see through T 22 B 2 T(797)617a
world you see through eyes that are not yours, MUST make T 22 B 2 T(797)617a
are, and firm in faith that you are something ELSE, this T 22 B 3 T(797)617a
to listen, nor to suspect that what it tells you is T 22 B 4 T(797)617a
true. Reason would tell you that it CANt be true T 22 B 4 T(797)617a
His Will? Yet you believe that YOU have secrets. What could T 22 B 4 T(798)618
secrets BE except ANOTHER will, that is your own, apart from T 22 B 4 T(798)618
Reason would tell you that this is no SECRET, that T 22 B 5 T(798)618
that this is no SECRET, that need be hidden as a T 22 B 5 T(798)618
Here is the ONE emotion that you made, WHATEVER it may T 22 B 5 T(798)618
This is the ONE emotion that opposes love, and ALWAYS leads T 22 B 5 T(798)618
Here is the ONE emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on T 22 B 5 T(798)618
GIVEN you, along with everything that you CAN understand. You will T 22 B 6 T(798)618
ancient than the old illusion that it has replaced, IS like T 22 B 8 T(799)619
joined. Nor is it possible that anything NOT part of Him T 22 B 10 T(799)619
have been restored to those that join, for this they COULD T 22 B 10 T(799)619
them? Reason will tell you that they MUST have seen each T 22 B 10 T(799)619
a fearful sight or sound that drew them gently into one T 22 B 10 T(799)619
is the first DIRECT perception that you have made. You made T 22 B 11 T(799)619
was ALWAYS so? Think what that instant brought; the RECOGNITION that T 22 B 11 T(799)619
that instant brought; the RECOGNITION that the something else you thought T 22 B 11 T(799)619
It is denial of ILLUSIONS that calls on truth. For to T 22 B 11 T(800)620
deny illusions is to recognize that FEAR is meaningless. Into the T 22 B 11 T(800)620
powerless, love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one with you T 22 B 11 T(800)620
be found in misery? All that is possible in the dark T 22 C 2 T(801)621
You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness which does T 22 C 3 T(801)621
difference. Reason will tell you that the ONLY way to escape T 22 C 3 T(801)621
802) 622 that one exception can exist, is T 22 C 4 T(802)622
ego will assure you now that it is IMPOSSIBLE for you T 22 C 5 T(802)622
side, but reason tells you that misery lies ONLY on one T 22 C 7 T(802)622
Reason will tell you that there IS no middle ground T 22 C 8 T(803)623
closer at the whole illusion that what you made has power T 22 C 9 T(803)623
This is the SAME belief that CAUSED the separation. It is T 22 C 9 T(803)623
It is the meaningless idea that thoughts can leave the thinker T 22 C 9 T(803)623
Will, would it be possible that the self he made, and T 22 C 9 T(803)623
on it with the decision that it MUST BE HEALED, and T 22 C 10 T(803)623
SEEM POSSIBLE that what YOU made is YOURS T 22 C 10 T(804)624
NOT ONE of the illusions that you made REPLACED the truth T 22 C 10 T(804)624
12. Beyond the bodies that you interposed between you, and T 22 C 12 T(804)624
shining in the golden light that reaches it from the bright T 22 C 12 T(804)624
from the bright endless circle that extends forever, is your holy T 22 C 12 T(804)624
earth. How great the power that lies in it. Time waits T 22 C 12 T(804)624
SEPARATE will, nor the desire that ANYTHING be separate. Its will T 22 C 12 T(804)624
light His home with vision that overlooks the world. T T 22 C 12 T(804)624
the beginning of a vision that has meaning. Vision is sense T 22 D 1 T(805)625
errors. IT looks on NOTHING that can be corrected. T T 22 D 2 T(805)625
the whole, without the meaning that the whole would give. And T 22 D 4 T(806)626
Reason will tell you that the FORM of error is T 22 D 5 T(806)626
OUTSIDE of everything, the wall that stands between you and the T 22 D 5 T(806)626
having been made to guarantee that nothing else BUT form will T 22 D 6 T(806)626
and it is their maker that sees through them. What was T 22 D 6 T(806)626
changed. Reason will tell you that if form is NOT reality T 22 D 7 T(806)626
What is there in him that you would attack, EXCEPT what T 22 D 8 T(807)627
give errors gladly to correction that both may happily be healed T 22 D 9 T(807)627
no part of the journey that seems more hopeless and futile T 22 E 2 T(808)808a
steps along the right way that seem hard, because you HAVE T 22 E 2 T(808)808a
before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the T 22 E 5 T(809)628
it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone T 22 E 5 T(809)628
realize how thin the drapery that separates you now. Yet it T 22 E 5 T(809)628
them into a darkened world that NEEDS the light. And, from T 22 E 5 T(809)628
Himself. Think of the loveliness that YOU will see, who walk T 22 E 6 T(809)628
s strong protector from EVERYTHING that seems to rise between you T 22 E 7 T(809)628
received. And so they learn that it is theirs forever. All T 22 E 8 T(810)629
every obstacle was finally surmounted that seemed to rise and block T 22 E 8 T(810)629
by letting reason tell you that they CONTRADICT reality. They GO T 22 F 1 T(811)630
you need NO defense. Everything that needs defense YOU DO NOT T 22 F 1 T(811)630
DO NOT WANT. For anything that needs defense will WEAKEN you T 22 F 1 T(811)630
and at ENORMOUS cost. All that the Holy Spirit offers must T 22 F 2 T(811)630
universe. How likely is it that it will SUCCEED? Can it T 22 F 4 T(812)631
to disregard its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence, and T 22 F 4 T(812)631
of praise to its Creator that every heart throughout the universe T 22 F 4 T(812)631
this tiny mouse, or everything that God created? You are NOT T 22 F 4 T(812)631
an illusion. And therefore feel that you are weak, BECAUSE YOU T 22 F 6 T(812)631
but rests on the belief that you are separate. Not one T 22 F 6 T(812)631
you are separate. Not one that does not SEEM to stand T 22 F 6 T(812)631
your brother. And not one that truth can NOT pass over T 22 F 6 T(812)631
over lightly, and so easily that you MUST be convinced, in T 22 F 6 T(812)631
what you THOUGHT it was, that it was nothing. If you T 22 F 6 T(812)631
seems to stand between you that makes it look impenetrable, and T 22 F 6 T(812)631
SO contradictory and SO impossible that anyone who chooses this has T 22 G 2 T(813)632
But be you, rather, grateful that YOU can be the means T 22 G 3 T(813)632
His Own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at T 22 G 4 T(814)633
given! Each part of Heaven that you bring, is given YOU T 22 G 5 T(814)633
every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the T 22 G 5 T(814)633
can deny HIMSELF the vision that he brings to others? And T 22 G 6 T(815)634
through HIMSELF? The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit T 22 G 6 T(815)634
HIS means must love all that He loves. And what you T 22 G 6 T(815)634
is YOUR remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of T 22 G 6 T(815)634
can long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And NO T 22 G 6 T(815)634
Let YOUR concern be only that you give TO Him that T 22 G 9 T(816)635
that you give TO Him that which can BE extended. Save T 22 G 9 T(816)635
extended. Save no dark secrets that He cannot use. But offer T 22 G 9 T(816)635
to it ALL the power that God has given Him, to T 22 G 10 T(816)635
And it is only arrogance that would DENY the power of T 22 G 11 T(817)636
lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear T 22 G 11 T(817)636
IS? You do NOT see that EVERY sin and EVERY condemnation T 22 G 12 T(817)636
attack upon your Father. And that is WHY it has not T 22 G 12 T(817)636
real. You do not see that this is your attempt, BECAUSE T 22 G 12 T(817)636
separate. And you MUST think that they are separate, BECAUSE OF T 22 G 12 T(817)636
And therefore it is necessary that you have OTHER experiences, more T 22 G 15 T(818)637
happy fact, and think not that it lays a heavy burden T 22 G 16 T(818)637
with gladness, you will realize that your relationship is a reflection T 22 G 16 T(818)637
G 17. The light that joins you shines throughout the T 22 G 17 T(818)637
against Yourself! You will believe that EVERYTHING you use for sin T 23 A 2 T(819)638
this. And you will think that you succeeded, and attack again T 23 A 2 T(819)638
attack, as it is sure that you will love what you T 23 A 2 T(819)638
a fearful world, and realize that Heavens glory shines in T 23 A 5 T(820)639
you come to understand all that is given you. In kind T 23 A 6 T(820)639
bitter need of the redemption that your innocence bestows upon it T 23 A 6 T(820)639
Conflict WITHIN you MUST imply that you believe the ego has T 23 B 1 T(821)640
belief it has an enemy that it MUST overcome, and WILL T 23 B 1 T(821)640
were, is this a victory that you would WANT? The death T 23 B 2 T(821)640
to defeat, BECAUSE it thinks that triumph over you is possible T 23 B 2 T(821)640
And to those who think that it is possible, the means T 23 B 2 T(821)640
B 3. Be certain that it is impossible God and T 23 B 3 T(821)640
your strange alliances, on grounds that have no meaning. For your T 23 B 3 T(821)640
wind in anger, and proclaiming that it is part of itself T 23 B 4 T(822)641
teach the Son of God that he is NOT himself, and T 23 B 5 T(822)641
is nothing you COULD attack that is not part of you T 23 B 8 T(823)642
whenever you look on ANYTHING that God created with anything but T 23 B 8 T(823)642
the VANQUISHER of the illusion that was less real, MADE an T 23 B 9 T(823)642
of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless, and His T 23 B 10 T(824)643
abides, protecting you from EVERYTHING that is not true. You dwell T 23 B 10 T(824)643
the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never BE T 23 B 11 T(824)643
of God obscured in minds that have become illusions battleground T 23 B 12 T(824)643
then, look upon them calmly, that we may look BEYOND them T 23 C 1 T(825)644
truth. Here are the laws that rule the world you made T 23 C 1 T(825)644
The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for T 23 C 2 T(825)644
these principles, this one maintains that each is separate, and has T 23 C 2 T(825)644
among illusions, making it appear that some are HARDER to overcome T 23 C 3 T(825)644
others. If it were realized that they are all the same T 23 C 3 T(825)644
be easy, then, to understand that miracles apply to ALL of T 23 C 3 T(825)644
every worshipper of sin, is that each one MUST sin, and T 23 C 4 T(826)645
the first, is the demand that errors call for punishment, and T 23 C 4 T(826)645
the Son. Now it appears that they can NEVER be One T 23 C 5 T(826)645
not seen as even necessary that He be asked about the T 23 C 6 T(826)645
to the third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos eternal T 23 C 7 T(826)645
IS no sight of help that can succeed. ONLY destruction can T 23 C 8 T(827)646
ESCAPE from what it wants. THAT is the function of this T 23 C 8 T(827)646
thus it fails to recognize that you can never take away T 23 C 9 T(828)647
body be destroyed and sacrificed, that you may have that which T 23 C 12 T(829)648
sacrificed, that you may have that which BELONGS to you. His T 23 C 12 T(829)648
His treachery DEMANDS his death, that YOU may live. And you T 23 C 12 T(829)648
what is it you want, that NEEDS his death? Can you T 23 C 12 T(829)648
love. This is the magic that will cure all of your T 23 C 12 T(829)648
missing factor in your madness THAT MAKES IT SANE. THIS is T 23 C 12 T(829)648
place the substitute for Heaven that you prefer. This is their T 23 C 14 T(829)648
insane. Are you as certain that you realize the GOAL is T 23 C 14 T(830)649
his madness if he sees that this is what it IS T 23 C 15 T(830)649
PROTECTS madness is the belief THAT IT IS TRUE. It is T 23 C 15 T(830)649
yet, how can it be that laws like these can BE T 23 C 17 T(830)649
There is a strange device that makes this possible. Nor is T 23 C 17 T(830)649
OF CONTENT. No-one who thinks that one of them is true T 23 C 17 T(830)649
to have meaning, and that is all. T 23 T 23 C 17 T(831)650
takes? It is a judgment that defeats ITSELF, condemning what it T 23 C 18 T(831)650
maintain, and think it true, that you do NOT believe such T 23 C 19 T(831)650
be content with an illusion that YOU are living? T T 23 C 19 T(831)650
completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are true. The T 23 C 21 T(832)651
fear, because of the beliefs that they imply, NOT for their T 23 C 21 T(832)651
It is BECAUSE it follows that it seems to be a T 23 C 22 T(832)651
is smaller than another, nor that return from one is easier T 23 C 22 T(832)651
foot upon the twisted stairway that leads FROM Heaven. Yet, any T 23 C 23 T(832)651
recognize, then it MUST follow that you do not always RECOGNIZE T 23 D 1 T(833)652
to those who still believe that compromise is possible. They do T 23 D 4 T(834)653
possible. They do NOT see that, if it is, SALVATION IS T 23 D 4 T(834)653
it is certain the belief that salvation is impossible can NOT T 23 D 4 T(834)653
for this and love for that, and UNDERSTAND forgiveness. Would you T 23 D 4 T(834)653
thus does it become impossible that YOU lose sight of it T 23 D 4 T(834)653
5. Those who believe that peace can BE defended, and T 23 D 5 T(834)653
peace can BE defended, and that attack is JUSTIFIED on its T 23 D 5 T(834)653
by side with the belief that murder takes some forms by T 23 D 5 T(834)653
be RELEASED from conflict means that IT IS OVER. The door T 23 D 6 T(834)653
an instant and the fear that haunts the place of death T 23 D 6 T(834)653
of death is not apparent, that it will not return. There T 23 D 6 T(834)653
Think you the FORM that murder takes can offer safety T 23 D 7 T(835)654
it is NOT the body that is like the Sons T 23 E 2 T(835)654
it offer its creations ALL that it is, and NEVER suffer T 23 E 3 T(835)654
form of murder and attack that still attracts you, and that T 23 E 4 T(836)655
that still attracts you, and that you do not recognize for T 23 E 4 T(836)655
is your part; to realize that murder, in ANY form, is T 23 E 5 T(836)655
s purpose, and who KNOW that it is theirs! They want T 23 E 8 T(837)656
the battleground CAN offer something that you can win. CAN it T 23 E 8 T(837)656
win. CAN it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness T 23 E 8 T(837)656
love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can T 23 E 8 T(837)656
EVER mar your certainty? And that will last forever? T T 23 E 8 T(837)656
to own. No-one who knows that he has everything could seek T 23 E 9 T(837)656
everything? And what is there that offers LESS yet could be T 23 E 9 T(837)656
A 1. Forget not that the motivation for this course T 24 A 1 T(838)657
can hold back the Will that holds the universe secure? God T 24 A 1 T(838)657
They ARE. And what illusions that idly seem to drift between T 24 A 1 T(838)657
willingness to question EVERY value that you hold. Not one can T 24 A 2 T(838)657
a CONCLUSION, based on EVERYTHING that you believe. It is the T 24 A 2 T(838)657
come with the one alternative that you CAN choose for love T 24 B 1 T(838)657
nor their terrible results. All that can BE denied is their T 24 B 2 T(839)658
24 B 3. All that is ever cherished as a T 24 B 3 T(839)658
and a need to judge that cannot BE escaped. What God T 24 B 3 T(839)658
you MUST be attacked, so that your specialness can live on T 24 B 5 T(840)659
WITH him, to a goal that is the SAME? Would you T 24 B 6 T(840)659
for it depends on goals that you ALONE can reach. And T 24 B 6 T(840)659
CAN be made for this, that will NOT hurt you? T 24 B 6 T(840)659
been GIVEN to each other that love might be extended, NOT T 24 B 7 T(840)659
is now the ONLY purpose that you share. And so it T 24 B 7 T(840)659
or would let you think that you are better off apart T 24 B 7 T(840)659
is not THIS the enemy that makes you both illusions to T 24 B 7 T(840)659
here. For here the purpose that you share becomes obscured from T 24 B 8 T(841)660
ALIKE. You have NO purpose that is not the same. And T 24 B 8 T(841)660
DEFEAT the goal of holiness that Heaven gave it? T T 24 B 8 T(841)660
perspective can the special have that does NOT change with every T 24 B 9 T(841)660
you understand it is YOURSELF that you diminish thus. Pursuit of T 24 C 2 T(842)661
pain. Here is a goal that would defeat salvation, and thus T 24 C 2 T(842)661
know the truth? What answer that the Holy Spirit gives can T 24 C 4 T(843)662
all you listen to. And that vast song of honor and T 24 C 4 T(843)662
And it WOULD show them that the specialness they think they T 24 C 5 T(843)662
God, so like his Father that the memory of Him springs T 24 C 6 T(843)662
yourself. But be you certain that the truth is just the T 24 C 7 T(844)663
Think of the loveliness that you will see within yourself T 24 C 8 T(844)663
taken from him the gift that God would have him give T 24 C 8 T(844)663
waits for your forgiveness only that he may return it unto T 24 C 8 T(844)663
Yet it is not illusions that have reached this final obstacle T 24 C 9 T(844)663
have reached this final obstacle that seems to make God and T 24 C 9 T(844)663
and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here T 24 C 9 T(844)663
so real and so encompassing that NOTHING stands outside. T T 24 C 9 T(844)663
of you in equal love, that both might share the universe T 24 C 11 T(845)664
universe with Him Who chose that love could never be divided T 24 C 11 T(845)664
him. But can it be that YOU have lost because HE T 24 C 11 T(845)664
given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but offers T 24 C 12 T(845)664
for bargains and for compromise that would establish sin loves T 24 C 12 T(845)664
it faithfully. And no relationship that holds its purpose dear but T 24 C 12 T(845)664
your misery, and the awareness that your plan has failed, and T 24 C 14 T(846)665
release from ALL illusions, and that is why it is impossible T 24 D 1 T(847)666
receive it wholly, the instant that he gave it so. And T 24 D 1 T(847)666
not. And yet, this idol that seems to GIVE you power T 24 D 2 T(847)666
in misery, before the idol that can save you not. T 24 D 2 T(847)666
It is not YOU that is so vulnerable and open T 24 D 3 T(847)666
vulnerable and open to attack that just a word, a little T 24 D 3 T(847)666
a word, a little whisper that you do not like, a T 24 D 3 T(847)666
do not like, a circumstance that suits you not, or an T 24 D 3 T(847)666
you not, or an event that you did not anticipate upsets T 24 D 3 T(847)666
Him. It is your specialness that is attacked by everything that T 24 D 4 T(847)666
that is attacked by everything that walks and breathes, or creeps T 24 D 4 T(847)666
forever more BE unforgiving, for that is what it IS. A T 24 D 4 T(848)667
it IS. A secret vow that what God wants for you T 24 D 4 T(848)667
you will never be, and that you will oppose His Will T 24 D 4 T(848)667
And God Himself, Who knows that death is NOT your will T 24 D 5 T(848)667
specialness. They hate the call that would awaken them. And they T 24 D 7 T(848)667
savior God gave to you that you might look on him T 24 D 7 T(849)668
damnation? And do YOU will that this be done unto your T 24 D 8 T(849)668
of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your T 24 D 8 T(849)668
They ask of you but that your will be done. They T 24 D 8 T(849)668
done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love T 24 D 8 T(849)668
it was NOT His Will that you be crucified.
T 24 D 8 T(849)668
specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and helpless T 24 E 2 T(850)669
limited; so must it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind T 24 E 3 T(850)669
but only in the sense that all illusions are threatened by T 24 E 4 T(850)669
has ever been in them, that you would keep the T 24 E 4 T(850)669
an open door inviting everything that would disturb your peace to T 24 E 4 T(851)670
whether it be your WISH that you might see your brother T 24 E 5 T(851)670
itself, and GIVE it meaning that the truth denies. All that T 24 E 5 T(851)670
that the truth denies. All that is real proclaims his sinlessness T 24 E 5 T(851)670
real proclaims his sinlessness. All that is false proclaims his sins T 24 E 5 T(851)670
He sees, because He knows that it is one with Him T 24 F 1 T(852)671
you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for something T 24 F 1 T(852)671
for something, and LACK faith that it is so. WISHING MAKES T 24 F 1 T(852)671
does Love extend Itself. Except that one deludes; the other heals T 24 F 1 T(852)671
maker of the dream believes that what he made is happening T 24 F 2 T(852)671
truth, and sees no condemnation that could NEED forgiveness. HE is T 24 F 3 T(852)671
Him, and what has He that you have not? He is T 24 F 3 T(852)671
hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His brothers, and T 24 F 3 T(852)671
by the shifting, tiny gleams that spark an instant from the T 24 F 4 T(853)672
to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your brother T 24 F 4 T(853)672
feet to guide. Be glad that only Christ can lend you T 24 F 5 T(853)672
and lead is given light, that YOU may lead as you T 24 F 5 T(853)672
upon you FIRST, but recognized that you were not complete. And T 24 F 6 T(853)672
completion in each living thing that He beholds and loves. And T 24 F 6 T(853)672
loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer YOU the T 24 F 6 T(853)672
He quiet, for He knows that Love is in you now T 24 F 7 T(854)673
safely held in you by that same hand that holds your T 24 F 7 T(854)673
you by that same hand that holds your brothers in T 24 F 7 T(854)673
sings to them of Heaven, that their ears may hear no T 24 F 7 T(854)673
them, holding out His hand, that everyone may bless all living T 24 F 7 T(854)673
their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are YOURS, to T 24 F 7 T(854)673
of specialness He offers you, that you may save all living T 24 F 7 T(854)673
one the gift of Life that your forgiveness offers to your T 24 F 7 T(854)673
His Son could never will that you be Brotherless. And would T 24 F 8 T(854)673
your doubts, if you agree that He is one with you T 24 F 9 T(854)673
is one with you, and that this Oneness is endless, timeless T 24 F 9 T(854)673
and before, leading the way that He must go to find T 24 F 9 T(854)673
gentleness and blessing so complete, that not one trace of conflict T 24 G 1 T(855)674
sense of sacrifice, and fear that what you have will scatter T 24 G 1 T(855)674
is, you can be sure that God is knowable, and WILL T 24 G 1 T(855)674
own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in T 24 G 1 T(855)674
in your brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself T 24 G 1 T(855)674
Father waits for your acknowledgment that He created YOU as part T 24 G 2 T(855)674
Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him T 24 G 2 T(855)674
brothers holiness shows you that God is One with him T 24 G 2 T(855)674
One with him AND you; that what he has is yours T 24 G 2 T(855)674
in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He failed T 24 G 3 T(855)674
him. And it is this that saves YOU from a world T 24 G 3 T(855)674
saves YOU from a world that He created not.
T 24 G 3 T(855)674
G 4. Forget not that the healing of Gods T 24 G 4 T(856)675
all the world is for. That is the ONLY purpose the T 24 G 4 T(856)675
whole reversal of the laws that SEEM to rule this world T 24 G 5 T(856)675
all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself T 24 G 5 T(856)675
itself, but through the Voice that speaks for God in everything T 24 G 5 T(856)675
speaks for God in everything that lives, and shares His Being T 24 G 5 T(856)675
It is HIS sinlessness that eyes that see can look T 24 G 6 T(856)675
is HIS sinlessness that eyes that see can look upon. It T 24 G 6 T(856)675
by the veil of specialness that hides the face of Christ T 24 G 6 T(856)675
is God Himself but in that part of Him He set T 24 G 7 T(857)676
in your brothers holiness, that YOU might see the truth T 24 G 7 T(857)676
YOU to take from him, that both may end a journey T 24 G 8 T(857)676
both may end a journey that has never been begun, and T 24 G 8 T(857)676
it is, until you realize that it is not a part T 24 G 8 T(857)676
him as what he IS, that YOUR deliverance may not be T 24 G 9 T(857)676
flesh, and bound to laws that have NO power over him T 24 G 9 T(857)676
God for YOU must be, that

T 24 G 10 T(857)676
happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear beforeT 24 G 10 T(858)677
Specialness is the function that you gave yourself. It stands T 24 G 11 T(858)677
thought to yield, and effort that you never thought to cease T 24 G 11 T(858)677
Now you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with T 24 G 12 T(858)677
forth for YOU, the purpose that you CAN attain, and what T 24 G 13 T(858)677
can NOT do. Forget not that this

---
T 24 G 13 T(858)677
who ARE son to you, that you might SHARE the Fatherhood T 24 H 1 T(860)679
What IS this son that you have made to be T 24 H 2 T(860)679
parody of Gods creation, that takes the place of YOURS T 24 H 2 T(860)679
And where are THEY, now that the host of God has T 24 H 2 T(860)679
God has found another son that he prefers to them? The T 24 H 2 T(860)679
save it FOR? For, in that choice, lie both its health T 24 H 4 T(861)680
frame of holiness around him, that the truth may shine in T 24 H 4 T(861)680
no effect. Only the PURPOSE that you see in it has T 24 H 5 T(861)680
it has meaning, and if THAT is true, its safety rests T 24 H 5 T(861)680
safely as Itself. Nor will that light go out when it T 24 H 5 T(861)680
gift from YOU, a sign that you have NOT forgotten them T 24 H 5 T(861)680
your own. Except to say that what is yours will come T 24 H 8 T(862)681
it be kept in mind that ALL perception still is upside T 24 H 8 T(862)681
means. And it is this that makes it hard to grasp T 24 H 8 T(862)681
of a wish, an image that you WANTED to be true T 24 H 9 T(862)681
without a light, it seems that it is gone. Yet you T 24 H 9 T(862)681
gone. Yet you are reassured that it is there, because you T 24 H 9 T(862)681
Here is an image that you WANT to be yourself T 24 H 10 T(862)681
look on it, the hands that feel it, and the ears T 24 H 10 T(862)681
body testify to the idea that made it, and speak for T 24 H 11 T(863)682
DIFFERENT PURPOSE. It is this that joins them to their like T 24 H 12 T(864)683
what you see will serve that purpose well, and prove ITS T 24 H 12 T(864)683
And thus MUST it be that YOU are not within a T 25 A 1 T(864)683
outside. And it is certain that YOU cannot be APART from T 25 A 1 T(864)683
holiness, whose ONLY purpose is that He may be made manifest T 25 A 1 T(864)683
those who know Him not; that He may call to them T 25 A 1 T(864)683
will their bodies melt away, that they may frame His holiness T 25 A 1 T(864)683
NO healing. But the mind that thinks it IS a body T 25 A 3 T(865)684
indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy T 25 A 3 T(865)684
fills it with the holiness that shines from HIM. And nothing T 25 A 3 T(865)684
shines from HIM. And nothing that the body says or does T 25 A 3 T(865)684
minds. Such is the mission that your brother has for YOU T 25 A 3 T(865)684
And such it MUST be that YOUR mission is for HIM T 25 A 3 T(865)684
1. It CANNOT be that it is hard to do T 25 B 1 T(865)684
hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do T 25 B 1 T(865)684
do, since it is HE that does it. And, in the T 25 B 1 T(865)684
body, and you WILL believe that you are there. And every T 25 B 2 T(865)684
are there. And every body that you look upon reminds you T 25 B 2 T(865)684
so complete It wishes ONLY that It may release ALL that T 25 B 4 T(866)685
that It may release ALL that It looks upon unto Itself T 25 B 4 T(866)685
radiance shines through each body that It looks upon, and brushes T 25 B 4 T(866)685
HIM draw aside the veil that SEEMS to keep you separate T 25 B 4 T(866)685
5. Since you believe that YOU are separate, Heaven presents T 25 B 5 T(867)686
you as separate, too. NOT that it is the truth, but T 25 B 5 T(867)686
it is the truth, but that the link that has been T 25 B 5 T(867)686
truth, but that the link that has been given you to T 25 B 5 T(867)686
in the part of you that SHARES His Fathers Will T 25 B 5 T(867)686
purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness CAN T 25 B 6 T(867)686
mind PERCEIVED as one, AWARE that it is one, AND SO T 25 B 6 T(867)686
experienced; WHAT you must do that it can BE experienced; and T 25 B 6 T(867)686
discrete, for while YOU think that part of YOU is separate T 25 B 6 T(867)686
7. It is apparent that a mind so split could T 25 B 7 T(867)686
BEYOND them to the truth that IS beyond them. All this T 25 B 7 T(867)686
Is it not evident that what the bodys eyes T 25 C 1 T(868)687
ever be. The ONLY value that the past can hold is T 25 C 1 T(868)687
the past can hold is that you learn it gave you T 25 C 1 T(868)687
it gave you NO rewards that you would WANT to keep T 25 C 1 T(868)687
Is it not strange that you should cherish still some T 25 C 2 T(868)687
is hardly worth delaying change that might result in better outcome T 25 C 2 T(868)687
Is it not ALSO true that you have found some hope T 25 C 3 T(868)687
inconstant, wavering, yet dimly seen, that hopefullness IS warranted, on groundsT 25 C 3 T(868)687
hopefullness IS warranted, on grounds that are NOT in this world T 25 C 3 T(868)687
world? And yet your hope that they may STILL lie here T 25 C 3 T(868)687
to hold the fixed belief that there IS reason to uphold T 25 C 3 T(868)687
has ALWAYS failed on grounds that it will suddenly succeed, and T 25 C 3 T(868)687
past HAS failed. Be glad that it is gone within your T 25 C 4 T(869)688
hold the picture up, so that it can be seen. A T 25 C 4 T(869)688
can be seen. A frame that HIDES the picture HAS no T 25 C 4 T(869)688
this you do. The masterpiece that God has set within this T 25 C 5 T(869)688
around the part of Him that YOU would see as separate T 25 C 5 T(869)688
in its place. The frame that God has given it but T 25 C 6 T(869)688
It is your SEPARATE purpose that OBSCURES the picture, and cherishes T 25 C 6 T(869)688
His masterpiece within a frame that will endure forever, when yours T 25 C 6 T(869)688
loveliness, and understand the Mind that thought it, NOT in flesh T 25 C 7 T(870)689
death. God kept it safe that YOU might look on it T 25 C 7 T(870)689
it, and SEE the holiness that He has given it. Within T 25 C 7 T(870)689
within and see the holiness that MUST be there BECAUSE of T 25 C 8 T(870)689
seeing, is the vision SHARED that looks on Christ INSTEAD of T 25 C 8 T(870)689
creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His T 25 C 9 T(871)690
He is glad and thankful that you thank His perfect Son T 25 C 9 T(871)690
what He has given you, that YOU may see His Son T 25 C 10 T(871)690
He thanks YOU. Nor believe that all His praise is given T 25 C 10 T(871)690
as you join in will that you be made complete by T 25 C 11 T(871)690
sees, but give him honor that you may esteem yourself AND T 25 C 11 T(871)690
given the power of salvation, that escape from darkness into light T 25 C 11 T(871)690
872) 691 that you may see as one T 25 C 11 T(872)691
which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a T 25 D 1 T(873)692
extent to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that T 25 D 1 T(873)692
that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you perceive attack T 25 D 1 T(873)692
Gods more basic law; that Love creates Itself, and nothing T 25 D 1 T(873)692
His laws reflected everywhere. NOT that the world where this reflection T 25 D 2 T(873)692
Corrector of the mad belief that ANYTHING could be established and T 25 D 4 T(873)692
and maintained without some link that kept it still within the T 25 D 4 T(873)692
another purpose in the world that error made because it has T 25 D 4 T(874)693
instant, to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged, beyond the pitifulT 25 D 5 T(874)693
will he see each situation that he thought before was means T 25 D 6 T(874)693
He will hear plainly that the calls to war he T 25 D 7 T(874)693
to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is T 25 D 7 T(874)693
is SEEING them as one that brings release from the belief T 25 D 8 T(875)694
world of violence and hate that SEEMS to stand BETWEEN you T 25 D 8 T(875)694
condemnation? Is it YOUR purpose that he be saved or damned T 25 D 10 T(875)694
saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to YOU T 25 D 10 T(875)694
then, your choice, but recognize that in this choice, the purpose T 25 D 10 T(876)695
25 E 1. Minds that are joined, AND RECOGNIZE THEY T 25 E 1 T(877)696
NOT attack, and they REJOICE that this is so, seeing their T 25 E 1 T(877)696
NOT the aim, as such, that varies. Yet it IS the T 25 E 1 T(877)696
which the aim is seen that makes the choice of means T 25 E 1 T(877)696
rejoice. And, while you think that suffering and sin will bring T 25 E 2 T(877)696
wish. It is your wish that MAKES it what it is T 25 E 2 T(877)696
purpose in his own creation, that his joy might be increased T 25 E 2 T(877)696
You makers of a world that is not so, take rest T 25 E 3 T(878)697
weary eyes and tired hearts that look on sin and beat T 25 E 3 T(878)697
for YOU. YOUR evil thoughts that haunt YOU now will seem T 25 E 4 T(878)697
sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away T 25 E 4 T(878)697
rest YOU found extend, so that YOUR peace can never fall T 25 E 5 T(878)697
all of Heaven; every leaf that falls is given life in T 25 E 5 T(878)697
life in you. Each bird that ever sang will sing again T 25 E 5 T(878)697
in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has saved its T 25 E 5 T(878)697
God and of His Son, that Heaven be restored to him T 25 E 6 T(879)698
world, and ALL the thoughts that entered it, and were mistaken T 25 E 6 T(879)698
form the call is made, that you UNITE with him, and T 25 F 3 T(880)699
shrieks, such IS the Call that God has given him, that T 25 F 3 T(881)700
that God has given him, that YOU might hear in him T 25 F 3 T(881)700
asks only this of you; that you return to him what T 25 F 4 T(881)700
him what is his due, that you may SHARE in it T 25 F 4 T(881)700
shown to him through YOU, that YOU may find it, walking T 25 F 4 T(881)700
It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for BY T 25 F 5 T(881)700
HAS no need but this; that you allow him freedom to T 25 F 5 T(881)700
to him. Remembering but this; that what HE does YOU do T 25 F 5 T(881)700
him be what God APPOINTED that he be to you. T 25 F 5 T(882)701
6. Against the hatred that the Son of God may T 25 F 6 T(882)701
brother, NOT without the understanding that he is the way to T 25 F 6 T(882)701
FOR. And who can say that he PREFERS the darkness, and T 25 G 2 T(883)702
brings the gift of light that makes sight possible. Will you T 25 G 3 T(883)702
you. Nor does He will that he remain without the function T 25 G 3 T(883)702
he remain without the function that He gave to him. Let T 25 G 3 T(883)702
are NOT yours. And nothing that you THINK you see in T 25 G 6 T(884)703
salvation, from the very instant that the choice was made. His T 25 G 6 T(884)703
Spirit needs YOUR special function, that HIS may be fulfilled. Think T 25 G 7 T(885)704
it IS given you. ALL that you made can serve salvation T 25 G 7 T(885)704
attack, and let him understand that he is safe, as he T 25 G 7 T(885)704
you. Do this ONE thing, that EVERYTHING be given you. T 25 G 7 T(885)704
Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself into T 25 H 1 T(886)705
thing in all this world that CANNOT change. It is immutable T 25 H 1 T(886)705
Heaven. How COULD it be that hell and Heaven are the T 25 H 2 T(886)705
same? And is it possible that what He did NOT will T 25 H 2 T(886)705
you. For it is this that you do not believe. Yet T 25 H 3 T(886)705
carefully. It MUST be so that either God is mad, or T 25 H 3 T(886)705
within this world. And NOTHING that the world believes as true T 25 H 3 T(886)705
To justify ONE value that the world upholds is to T 25 H 5 T(887)706
the AGREEMENT of their Thought that makes the Son a co-creator T 25 H 5 T(887)706
THIS YOU BELIEVE. Think not that this belief depends upon the T 25 H 5 T(887)706
in which is nothing contradicted that would lead the Son of T 25 H 6 T(887)706
as one, and no-one loses, that each one may gain. T 25 H 6 T(887)706
H 7. Test EVERYTHING that you believe against this ONE T 25 H 7 T(888)707
this ONE requirement. And understand that everything that meets this ONE T 25 H 7 T(888)707
requirement. And understand that everything that meets this ONE demand is T 25 H 7 T(888)707
Son MUST be, to make that viewpoint meaningful and sane. T 25 H 7 T(888)707
form in which the fact that God is NOT insane appears T 25 H 8 T(888)707
place and time, and ALL that you believe must limit you T 25 H 8 T(888)707
as it PROVES to him that it is an alternative he T 25 H 10 T(889)708
It is Gods Will that you remember this, and so T 25 H 11 T(889)708
perfect joy. Accept the function that has been assigned to you T 25 H 11 T(889)708
plan to show His Son that hell and Heaven are different T 25 H 11 T(889)708
different; NOT the same. But that, in Heaven THEY are all T 25 H 11 T(889)708
the same, WITHOUT the differences that WOULD have made a hell T 25 H 11 T(889)708
12. The whole belief that someone loses but reflects the T 25 H 12 T(889)708
in this world it seems that one must gain BECAUSE another T 25 H 12 T(889)708
at all. You who believe that God is mad, look carefully T 25 H 12 T(889)708
carefully at this, and understand that it MUST be that EITHER T 25 H 12 T(889)708
understand that it MUST be that EITHER God OR this must T 25 H 12 T(889)708
but this; a mad belief that Gods insanity would make T 25 H 14 T(890)709
GIVE you what you want. That either God OR you must T 25 H 14 T(890)709
Holy Spirit can use ALL that you give to Him for T 25 I 1 T(891)710
Him. But this He needs; that you PREFER He take it T 25 I 1 T(891)710
PREFER He take it, than that you keep it for yourself T 25 I 1 T(891)710
for yourself alone, and recognize that what brings loss to no-one T 25 I 1 T(891)710
needs. Nor is it necessary that your faith in it be T 25 I 2 T(891)710
find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom COULD be found in T 25 I 2 T(891)710
mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is ASKED T 25 I 2 T(891)710
way. It is NOT just that one should lack for what T 25 I 4 T(891)710
for what another has. For that is vengeance, in WHATEVER form T 25 I 4 T(891)710
for ANY sacrifice is made that sin MAY BE PRESERVED and T 25 I 4 T(891)710
payment, to atone for all that you would keep and NOT T 25 I 4 T(892)711
contradicts the other, and denies that it is real. It is T 25 I 5 T(892)711
s justice, with a mind that can conceive of specialness at T 25 I 5 T(892)711
with the idea of punishment that they lay it aside, unaided T 25 I 5 T(892)711
can NOT avoid the vengeance that their own belief in justice T 25 I 6 T(892)711
angry hand. They DO believe that Heaven is hell, and ARE T 25 I 6 T(892)711
them when they are told that they have NEVER sinned. Their T 25 I 6 T(892)711
except a door to hell that SEEMS to look like Heaven T 25 I 7 T(893)712
have a Judge Who knows that they are wholly innocent in T 25 I 7 T(893)712
NOT fair, and CANNOT understand that they ARE innocent. T T 25 I 7 T(893)712
to sinners. BECAUSE they think that justice is SPLIT OFF from T 25 I 8 T(893)712
ask of you who think that all of this is true T 25 I 8 T(893)712
deserve, but understands as well that you can NOT accept it T 25 I 9 T(893)712
innocent DESERVE. And every one that you accept brings joy to T 25 I 9 T(893)712
WELL as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by T 25 I 9 T(893)712
EVERYTHING, how can it be that ANYTHING is kept FROM him T 25 I 10 T(894)713
is kept FROM him? For that would be injustice, and unfair T 25 I 10 T(894)713
indeed to all the holiness that IS in him, however much T 25 I 10 T(894)713
by you. Yet God ensured that justice WOULD be done unto T 25 I 10 T(894)713
ask if he will be that one, so justice may return T 25 I 11 T(895)714
allots is but for this; that each one learn that love T 25 I 11 T(895)714
this; that each one learn that love and justice are NOT T 25 I 11 T(895)714
but NOT in vengeance. For that would be unjust to innocence T 25 I 11 T(895)714
NOT perceive, in every circumstance, that this is true. Nor need T 25 I 12 T(895)714
is but shadows of all that is REALLY happening within yourself T 25 I 12 T(895)714
happening within yourself. The understanding that you need comes NOT of T 25 I 12 T(895)714
Self, so great and holy that He COULD not doubt His T 25 I 12 T(895)714
is a call to Him, that He may smile on you T 25 I 12 T(895)714
you give the Holy Spirit, that simple justice may be given T 25 I 12 T(895)714
can the special REALLY understand that justice is the same for T 25 I 13 T(896)715
OR less is not aware that he has everything. He is T 25 I 13 T(896)715
love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will T 25 I 14 T(896)715
what COULD this mean, except that they are sins, and NOT T 25 J 1 T(897)716
this until you see all that the answer MUST entail. For T 25 J 1 T(897)716
retain. AND NOT ONE DOUBT THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE will you T 25 J 1 T(897)716
POSSIBLE will you hold dear, that sin be kept in place T 25 J 1 T(897)716
kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value now T 25 J 1 T(897)716
ALL illusions. And you recognize that truth must be REVEALED to T 25 J 1 T(897)716
yet been solved. The principle that justice MEANS no-one can lose T 25 J 5 T(898)717
to solve FOR you means that you WANT it solved. To T 25 J 7 T(899)718
of hate. Unless you think that ALL your brothers have an T 25 J 7 T(899)718
to everyone. The little problems that you keep and hide become T 25 J 8 T(899)718
grow, until they cover EVERYTHING that you perceive, and leave you T 25 J 8 T(899)718
mercy to bestow upon another. That is why your sole responsibility T 25 J 8 T(899)718
J 9. The miracle that you receive you GIVE. Each T 25 J 9 T(899)718
law on which salvation rests; that justice MUST be done to T 25 J 9 T(899)718
GIVEN equally. It IS awareness that giving and receiving ARE the T 25 J 9 T(899)718
symbol of the central theme that SOMEBODY MUST LOSE. Its focus T 26 A 1 T(901)720
a wall so seeming solid that it looks as if what T 26 B 1 T(901)720
their selves maintained. The little that the body fences off BECOMES T 26 B 1 T(901)720
of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice IS limited, and something T 26 B 2 T(901)720
sacrifice could be demanded than that Gods Son perceive himself T 26 B 3 T(902)721A
Son? Yet EVERY sacrifice demands that they be separate and without T 26 B 3 T(902)721A
of to illusion merely ask that they might see a PURPOSE T 26 B 4 T(902)721A
a PURPOSE in the world that gives it sense and makes T 26 B 4 T(902)721A
and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself. You CAN T 26 B 4 T(902)721A
His task of showing you that it has NOT been lost T 26 B 4 T(902)721A
given him to witness to, that YOU may see it and T 26 B 5 T(902)721A
His holy Son, think not that you have power to make T 26 B 6 T(903)722
upon him. COULD it be that YOU could make his sins T 26 B 7 T(903)722
ensure the door be opened, that he may come forth to T 26 B 7 T(903)722
the SAME approach. The aspects that NEED solving do not change T 26 C 1 T(904)723
you release from EVERY problem that you think you have. They T 26 C 2 T(904)723
to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss, and make T 26 C 2 T(904)723
loss, and make a sacrifice that you might gain. And, when T 26 C 2 T(904)723
one mistake; the whole idea that loss is possible, and COULD T 26 C 2 T(904)723
ANY attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different T 26 C 3 T(904)723
He makes but one judgment; that to hurt Gods Son T 26 C 3 T(905)724
YOURSELF to solve, or judge that it is one which HAS T 26 C 4 T(905)724
CAN there be NO problems that justice cannot solve. But YOU T 26 C 5 T(905)724
cannot solve. But YOU believe that some injustices ARE fair and T 26 C 5 T(905)724
yourself. It is THESE problems that you think are great, and T 26 C 5 T(905)724
giving it can He ensure that everyone receives it equally. T 26 C 5 T(905)724
or anything, because He knows that EVERYTHING that is belongs to T 26 C 7 T(906)725
because He knows that EVERYTHING that is belongs to Him, and T 26 C 7 T(906)725
do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead T 26 C 7 T(906)725
and every bolt and barrier that seems to hold the door T 26 C 7 T(906)725
NOT your Fathers Will that you should offer or receive T 26 C 7 T(906)725
decide? For it is CONFLICT that makes choice complex. The truth T 26 D 1 T(907)726
necessary we dwell on anything that cannot be immediately grasped. There T 26 D 2 T(907)726
is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and T 26 D 2 T(907)726
is sin denied, and everything that IS received instead. T T 26 D 2 T(907)726
is a contradiction here, in that the words imply a LIMITED T 26 D 3 T(907)726
yet it can be seen that they are temporary, OUT of T 26 D 3 T(907)726
brought to the last comparison that he will ever make; the T 26 D 4 T(908)727
ever make; the last evaluation that will be possible, the final T 26 D 4 T(908)727
T 26 D 6. That there IS choice is an T 26 D 6 T(908)727
simple justice past the gate that opens into Heaven. No-one forgives T 26 E 1 T(910)729
in sin, and STILL believes that he has much to be T 26 E 1 T(910)729
apart. The sinless MUST perceive that they are one, for nothing T 26 E 2 T(910)729
stand is but the space that sin has left. And here T 26 E 2 T(910)729
comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his T 26 E 4 T(911)730
And each one teaches him that what he fears he loves T 26 E 4 T(911)730
could change his mind, so that he understands that love cannot T 26 E 4 T(911)730
mind, so that he understands that love cannot BE feared? What T 26 E 4 T(911)730
and remains without a voice that adds its power to the T 26 E 5 T(911)730
raised within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its T 26 E 5 T(911)730
This tiny spot of sin that stands between you still is T 26 E 5 T(911)730
those who do not understand that miracles are all the same T 26 F 1 T(912)731
all the same. Yet teaching that is what this course is T 26 F 1 T(912)731
its only purpose, for only that is all there is to T 26 F 1 T(912)731
and ALL of them within that ONE mistake, held also the T 26 F 3 T(913)732
held also the Correction for that one, and ALL of them T 26 F 3 T(913)732
one, and ALL of them that came within the first. And T 26 F 3 T(913)732
within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone T 26 F 3 T(913)732
instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was T 26 F 3 T(913)732
to Certainty so long ago that it is hard indeed to T 26 F 4 T(913)732
a tiny interval of time that not one note in Heaven T 26 F 5 T(913)732
all belief in sin is that one instant still called back T 26 F 5 T(913)732
is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness T 26 F 6 T(914)740
to a place and time that have long since gone by T 26 F 6 T(914)740
extreme he can delude himself that this is true, and pass T 26 F 6 T(914)740
and into madness, quite convinced that where he would prefer to T 26 F 6 T(914)740
any echo from the past that he may hear a fact T 26 F 7 T(914)740
The unforgiven is a voice that calls from out a past T 26 F 7 T(914)740
real is but a wish that what is gone could be T 26 F 7 T(914)740
you? And do you WANT that fearful instant kept, when Heaven T 26 F 7 T(914)740
Forget the time of terror that has been so long ago T 26 F 8 T(914)740
NOT go back. And everything that points the way in the T 26 F 8 T(914)740
from his mind? The Son that God created is as free T 26 F 9 T(915)741
He was reborn the instant that he chose to die, instead T 26 F 9 T(915)741
an error in the past that God remembers not, and is T 26 F 9 T(915)741
each day, and every instant that each minute holds, you but T 26 F 11 T(916)742
is but the mad belief that what is over is still T 26 F 12 T(916)742
no longer on the ground that lies between the worlds. You T 26 F 12 T(916)742
on, and reached the world that lies at Heavens gate T 26 F 12 T(916)742
of God, nor any need that you repeat again a journey T 26 F 12 T(916)742
you repeat again a journey that was over long ago. Look T 26 F 12 T(916)742
Anything in this world that you believe is good and T 26 G 1 T(917)743
prefers, and find the safety that the truth alone can give T 26 G 1 T(917)743
the same, and still maintain that even one is best? T 26 G 1 T(917)743
Heaven rests. The one illusion that you THINK is friend obscures T 26 G 2 T(917)743
shadow to usurp the throne that God appointed for your Friend T 26 G 3 T(917)743
truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this world T 26 G 3 T(917)743
been given, CAN make sure that you receive them. He will T 26 G 3 T(917)743
Let us review the principles that we have covered, and arrange T 26 H 1 T(918)744
arrange them in a way that summarizes all that must occur T 26 H 1 T(918)744
a way that summarizes all that must occur for healing to T 26 H 1 T(918)744
relationship kept hidden from awareness, that it may be carefully preservedT 26 H 1 T(918)744
is NOT true of ANYTHING that is apart from it. Yet T 26 H 2 T(918)744
reversal lies. It is impossible that one illusion be LESS amenable T 26 H 4 T(919)745
rest. But it IS possible that some are given greater VALUE T 26 H 4 T(919)745
no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can T 26 H 4 T(919)745
is One. And ANY wish that SEEMS to go AGAINST His T 26 H 5 T(919)745
to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real has made T 26 H 5 T(919)745
expected, but can NOT establish that the picture must be true T 26 H 6 T(919)745
920) 746 that rise from mists of guilt T 26 H 7 T(920)746
yourself. It is the wish that you be JOINED with him T 26 H 8 T(920)746
asks but a LITTLE wish that what is true be true T 26 H 9 T(920)746
not there. A LITTLE sigh that speaks for Heaven as a T 26 H 9 T(920)746
is forgiveness, but a willingness that truth be true? What can T 26 H 9 T(920)746
miracle is possible the INSTANT that the Son of God perceives T 26 H 9 T(920)746
AS everything. It is impossible that anything be lost, if what T 26 H 10 T(921)747
Here is the firm conviction that ideas CAN leave their source T 26 H 11 T(921)747
attack. Its failure lies in that you STILL FEEL guilty, though T 26 H 11 T(921)747
what always has been true. That he created you as part T 26 H 12 T(921)747
Such is creations law; that each idea

T 26 H 12 T(921)747
For otherwise he still demands that he must make SOME sacrifice T 26 H 13 T(922)748
SOME sacrifice, and thus denies that EVERYTHING is his, unlimited by T 26 H 13 T(922)748
purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God T 26 H 14 T(922)748
God gave to ALL illusions that were made ANOTHER purpose that T 26 H 14 T(922)748
that were made ANOTHER purpose that would justify a miracle, WHATEVER T 26 H 14 T(922)748
of God. Deny him not, that YOU may be released. T 26 H 14 T(923)749
him, because his Father wills that he should live. In crucifixion T 26 H 15 T(923)749
God because his Father willed that it be so. And in T 26 H 15 T(923)749
to LAY ASIDE the power that He gave, and choose a T 26 H 16 T(923)749
H 17. The Unity that specialness denies will save them T 26 H 17 T(923)749
The one remaining problem that you have is that you T 26 I 1 T(925)751
problem that you have is that you see an interval between T 26 I 1 T(925)751
you would keep between YOURSELVES, that you might be a LITTLE T 26 I 1 T(925)751
And you can NOT believe that trust would settle every problem T 26 I 1 T(925)751
be afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is T 26 I 2 T(925)751
is the error still obscured that is the SOURCE of fear T 26 I 2 T(925)751
time is NOT the enemy that you perceive. Time is as T 26 I 3 T(925)751
And therefore MUST it be that, if you fear, there is T 26 I 4 T(926)752
cause. And it is THIS that needs correction, NOT a future T 26 I 4 T(926)752
has IN it all effects that you will see. They can T 26 I 5 T(926)752
You have been told that everything brings good that comes T 26 I 6 T(926)752
told that everything brings good that comes from God. And yet T 26 I 6 T(926)752
aspect of the little space that lies between you, unforgiven still T 26 I 7 T(927)753
a denial of the fact that consequence and cause MUST come T 26 I 8 T(927)753
calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may awake in him T 26 J 1 T(928)754
awake in him the Voice that answers to YOUR call. And T 26 J 1 T(928)754
who carries Christ within him, that you may behold His glory T 26 J 1 T(928)754
behold His glory, and rejoice that Heaven is NOT separate from T 26 J 1 T(928)754
who carries Christ to you, that you may be forgiven ALL T 26 J 2 T(928)754
you cherish still. Forget not that a shadow held between your T 26 J 2 T(928)754
from light is given up, that light may shine on it T 26 J 5 T(929)755
separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at T 26 J 7 T(930)756
to REPLACE an ancient enmity that came to kill. In gentle T 26 J 7 T(930)756
it AS unfair, you think that a response of anger now T 26 K 1 T(931)757
unfair to you? It means that there MUST be some forms T 26 K 2 T(931)757
And this DENIES the fact that ALL are senseless; EQUALLY without T 26 K 2 T(931)757
ONE mistake, so firmly joined that where one is perceived, the T 26 K 3 T(931)757
COULD be more unjust than that he be deprived of what T 26 K 3 T(931)757
it not SAFER to believe that you are innocent of this T 26 K 4 T(932)758
Someone must LOSE his innocence that someone ELSE can take it T 26 K 4 T(932)758
to you BECAUSE you think that one must be unfair to T 26 K 5 T(932)758
from yourself. And each unfairness that the world appears to lay T 26 K 5 T(932)758
it purposeless, without the function that the Holy Spirit sees. And T 26 K 5 T(932)758
of all the happy sparkle that salvation brought can you perceive T 26 K 6 T(932)758
treated is a compromise attempt that would COMBINE attack and innocence T 27 A 1 T(934)760
he MUST suffer the unfairness that you see. You CANNOT sacrifice T 27 A 1 T(934)760
do you see as proof that HE is guilty of attack T 27 A 2 T(934)760
yourself to be the sign that he has LOST his innocence T 27 A 2 T(934)760
look on you to realize that HE has been condemned. And T 27 A 2 T(934)760
in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer now belongs to T 27 A 2 T(934)760
your crucifixion before his eyes, that he may see his sins T 27 B 1 T(934)760
upon in grief. And everything that it has shown to him T 27 B 3 T(935)761
witnesses to the eternal truth that you can not BE hurt T 27 B 3 T(935)761
your brother, who will see that every scar is healed, and T 27 B 4 T(935)761
BEYOND it, to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here T 27 B 4 T(935)761
you. Here is the proof that he has NEVER sinned; that T 27 B 4 T(935)761
that he has NEVER sinned; that NOTHING that his madness bid T 27 B 4 T(935)761
has NEVER sinned; that NOTHING that his madness bid him do T 27 B 4 T(935)761
had effects of any kind. That NO reproach he laid upon T 27 B 4 T(935)761
Life, but wish for death, that is the motivation for this T 27 B 5 T(936)762
one. These are the witnesses that are called forth to be T 27 B 5 T(936)762
What pleasures COULD there be that will endure? Are not the T 27 B 6 T(936)762
the frail ENTITLED to believe that every stolen scrap of pleasure T 27 B 6 T(936)762
life must come, whatever way that life be spent. And so T 27 B 6 T(936)762
witnesses unto the strange belief that sin and death are real T 27 B 7 T(936)762
are there to see, so that the cause can NEVER be T 27 B 7 T(937)763
is to PROVE to him that sin can HAVE no cause T 27 B 7 T(937)763
a picture of the proof that what your function IS can T 27 B 7 T(937)763
good. No grounds are offered that it may be judged in T 27 B 8 T(937)763
a purpose to be GIVEN, that it may fulfill the function T 27 B 8 T(937)763
it may fulfill the function that it will receive. T T 27 B 8 T(937)763
proclaim the truth and value that it represents. Let it receive T 27 B 9 T(937)763
purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let T 27 B 10 T(937)763
of trust and peace, proclaiming that the frail can HAVE no T 27 C 1 T(938)764
can HAVE no trust, and that the damaged HAVE no grounds T 27 C 1 T(938)764
because your damaged body shows that you must be protected FROM T 27 C 1 T(938)764

errors. LET yourself be healed, that you may be forgiving, offering T 27 C 4 T(939)765
A miracle of healing proves that separation is WITHOUT effect. T 27 C 4 T(939)765
can be means to teach that it has never suffered pain T 27 C 5 T(939)765
innocence. It is THIS testimony that can speak with power greater T 27 C 5 T(939)765
yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear T 27 C 6 T(939)765
wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of T 27 C 6 T(939)765
SHOW him, by your healing, that his guilt is but the T 27 C 6 T(940)766
the law the miracle obeys; That healing sees no specialness at T 27 C 7 T(940)766
a statement of the fact that your salvation SACRIFICES his. The T 27 C 8 T(940)766
BECAUSE Gods Son remembered that he IS Gods Son T 27 C 8 T(940)766
he suffers serves to prove that he is slave, and they T 27 C 9 T(940)766
constant pain THEY suffer demonstrates that they are free BECAUSE they T 27 C 9 T(940)766
Function from Him and DENY that it is His? Yet if T 27 C 10 T(941)767
brother, DIFFERENT from you in that he is MORE GUILTY, thus T 27 C 11 T(941)767
and with a single function that would MEAN a shared identity T 27 C 11 T(941)767
would do MUST separate, because that is the function given it T 27 C 12 T(941)767
do not overlook the fact that EVERY thought extends, because that T 27 C 13 T(942)768
that EVERY thought extends, because that is its purpose, being what T 27 C 13 T(942)768
BOTH of you a function that is one, NOT different. T 27 C 14 T(942)768
and make the other free. THAT is DIVIDED purpose, which cannot T 27 C 15 T(942)768
And you can rest assured that He will NOT fulfill a T 27 C 15 T(942)768
will NOT fulfill a function that He cannot understand, and recognize T 27 C 15 T(942)768
then, correction to the Mind That IS united, functioning as One T 27 C 16 T(943)769
Own, and NOT apart from that Its Giver keeps BECAUSE it T 27 C 16 T(943)769
unifies the halves of you that you perceive as separate. And T 27 C 16 T(943)769
And each forgives the other, that he may accept his OTHER T 27 C 16 T(943)769
be limited and weak, because that is its purpose. Power is T 27 D 1 T(944)770
limit, and impose an opposite that CONTRADICTS the concept it attacks T 27 D 1 T(944)770
2. You have decided that your brother IS a symbol T 27 D 2 T(944)770
Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot BE, must stand for T 27 D 2 T(944)770
of reality is the belief that there is SOMETHING THERE. T 27 D 2 T(944)770
The picture of your brother that you see means nothing. There T 27 D 3 T(944)770
The picture of your brother that you see is wholly absent T 27 D 3 T(944)770
4. An empty space that is NOT seen as filled T 27 D 4 T(945)771
No preparation CAN be made that would enhance the invitations T 27 D 4 T(945)771
delay an instant in deciding that it is the ONLY one T 27 D 6 T(945)771
and symbols fade, and nothing that the eyes have ever seen T 27 D 7 T(946)772
Thus it MUST be that time is not involved, and T 27 E 2 T(947)773
Yet it must also be that in your state of mind T 27 E 2 T(947)773
Holy Instant. It is here that ALL your problems should be T 27 E 2 T(947)773
there IS no answer there that could be found. Nowhere outside T 27 E 3 T(947)773
Which sin do you prefer? That is the one that you T 27 E 4 T(948)774
prefer? That is the one that you should choose. The OTHERS T 27 E 4 T(948)774
What can the body get that you would want the most T 27 E 4 T(948)774
to question its beliefs, except that what it states takes question T 27 E 4 T(948)774
tool which asks for something that you do NOT know. It T 27 E 5 T(948)774
enough to hear an answer that is NOT entailed within the T 27 E 7 T(949)775
answer, and receive the answer that was MADE for you. T 27 E 7 T(949)775
help. But you ARE needed that it can BEGIN. ACCEPT the T 27 F 1 T(950)776
through you. The ONLY thing that is required for a healing T 27 F 2 T(950)776
into the battleground, and DEMONSTRATES that war has no effects. For T 27 F 3 T(950)776
effects. For all the hurt that war has sought to bring T 27 F 3 T(950)776
love WITHOUT attack is necessary, that all this occur.
T 27 F 3 T(950)776
27 F 4. In that ONE instant are YOU healed T 27 F 4 T(951)777
are YOU healed, and in that single instant is ALL healing T 27 F 4 T(951)777
when you accept the blessing that the holy instant brings? Be T 27 F 4 T(951)777
leaves nothing within the world that COULD be feared. But if T 27 F 4 T(951)777
A dying world asks only that you rest an instant from T 27 F 5 T(951)777
instant from attack upon YOURSELF, that it be healed. Come to T 27 F 5 T(951)777
and be healed, for nothing that is there received is left T 27 F 5 T(951)777
healing everything the world requires, that it may be healed. It T 27 F 6 T(951)777
healed. It needs ONE lesson that has perfectly been learned. And T 27 F 6 T(951)777
who let yourselves be healed, that it might live. It will T 27 F 6 T(951)777
see. Its very NATURE is that it is NOT. And thus T 27 F 7 T(952)778
NOT made by you. But that it HAS been made, IN T 27 F 8 T(952)778
differences you see, convinces YOU that they could not be real T 27 F 8 T(952)778
WILL be brought to problems that you thought were NOT your T 27 F 8 T(952)778
it will ALSO be apparent that your many DIFFERENT problems will T 27 F 8 T(952)778
manner, in accord with laws that have been properly perceived, but T 27 F 8 T(952)778
Fear you not the way that YOU perceive them. You ARE T 27 F 8 T(952)778
laws, and Who will GUARANTEE that they remain unviolated and unlimited T 27 F 9 T(952)778
offered. And you will learn that peace is given you, when T 27 F 10 T(953)779
YOU, to let you understand that you have benefited from it T 27 F 10 T(953)779
effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be FAR T 27 F 10 T(953)779
share the lack of meaning that their PURPOSE has. T T 27 G 1 T(954)780
the rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you choose T 27 G 3 T(955)781
miracle He brings is witness that the body is NOT real T 27 G 4 T(955)781
are called. It merely proves that what they REPRESENT has no T 27 G 5 T(955)781
misery. It is their SAMENESS that the miracle attests. It is T 27 G 6 T(956)782
attests. It is their SAMENESS that it PROVES. The laws which T 27 G 6 T(956)782
more. But there IS need that you be healed, because the T 27 G 7 T(956)782
YOUR healing and YOUR happiness, that you may DEMONSTRATE the healing T 27 G 7 T(956)782
serve than this? Be healed that you may heal, and suffer T 27 G 7 T(956)782
is an emphasis upon all that the world has done to T 27 H 1 T(957)783
shown you CAN escape. All that is needed is you look T 27 H 2 T(957)783
IS, and NOT the way that you have set it up T 27 H 2 T(957)783
need. For each one thinks that, if he does his part T 27 H 4 T(958)784
him. And it is this that he perceives to BE his T 27 H 4 T(958)784
H 6. Forget not that the witness to the world T 27 H 6 T(958)784
it will, in any role that satisfies its dream. T T 27 H 8 T(959)- 785
So little is his worth that he is but a dancing T 27 H 9 T(959)- 785
can see, the ONE alternative that you can choose, the OTHER T 27 H 9 T(959)- 785
asleep, and dream in secret that its CAUSE is real? A T 27 H 11 T(960)786
plots your death, yet plans that it be lingering and slow T 27 H 11 T(960)786
unreality. And it is here that it will be undone. YOU T 27 H 12 T(960)786
Son, and made him think that he has lost his innocence T 27 H 13 T(961)787
NOT to fear, the Voice that called with love to waken T 27 H 13 T(961)787
pleasure, and avoid the things that would be hurtful. Above all T 27 I 1 T(962)788
It puts things on itself that it has bought with little T 27 I 2 T(962)788
WANT. It hires OTHER bodies, that they may protect it, and T 27 I 2 T(962)788
and collect more senseless things that it can call its own T 27 I 2 T(962)788
and yet once more; - that it is CAUSE and NOT T 27 I 3 T(962)788
out of places and events that IT contrives. T 27 T 27 I 3 T(962)788
T 27 I 4. That this is all the BODY T 27 I 4 T(962)788
The INSTANT that he sees them as they T 27 I 4 T(963)789
would have seen at once that these ideas are one illusion T 27 I 5 T(963)789
them BOTH away, and understand that time can NOT intrude upon T 27 I 6 T(963)789
IS a joke to think that time can come to circumvent T 27 I 6 T(963)789
you thought YOU did. Except that NOW you think that what T 27 I 7 T(963)789
Except that NOW you think that what you did is being T 27 I 7 T(963)789
truth; - you WILL believe that others do to you EXACTLY T 27 I 8 T(964)790
each terrible effect to Him, that you may look TOGETHER on T 27 I 9 T(964)790
of salvation is but this: That YOU are doing this UNTO T 27 I 10 T(965)791
in a dream you knew that YOU were dreaming. Let them T 27 I 10 T(965)791
of the form of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt T 27 I 11 T(965)791
form. And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple statement T 27 I 11 T(965)791
suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the T 27 I 12 T(965)791
yourself. And it is this that has

---
T 27 I 13 T(965)791
need you but to learn that BOTH of you are innocent T 27 I 13 T(966)792
OR guilty. The one thing that is impossible is that you T 27 I 13 T(966)792
thing that is impossible is that you be UNLIKE each other T 27 I 13 T(966)792
you be UNLIKE each other; that they BOTH be true. This T 27 I 13 T(966)792
over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer T 28 A 1 T(967)793
no longer in the mind that thought of them, and loved T 28 A 1 T(967)793
all. It is a recognition that you HAVE no needs which T 28 A 3 T(967)793
HAVE no needs which mean that something must be DONE. It T 28 A 3 T(967)793
so long accustomed to believe that memory holds only what is T 28 B 2 T(968)794
holds only what is past, that it is hard for you T 28 B 2 T(968)794
realize it is a skill that CAN remember NOW. The limitations T 28 B 2 T(968)794
pictures of injustices and hurts that you were saving, this is T 28 B 3 T(968)794
within it, waiting your command that they be brought to you T 28 B 3 T(968)794
change must have a cause that will endure, or else it T 28 B 4 T(968)794
B 5. Remember NOTHING that you taught yourself, for you T 28 B 5 T(969)795
memories of hate appear, remember that their cause is gone. And T 28 B 5 T(969)795
FOR. Let not the cause that you would give them NOW T 28 B 5 T(969)795
NOW be what it was that made them what they were T 28 B 5 T(969)795
seemed to be. Be GLAD that it is gone, for this T 28 B 5 T(969)795
of a cause so ancient that it FAR exceeds the span T 28 B 6 T(969)795
exceeds the span of memory that your perception sees. This is T 28 B 6 T(969)795
SEEM new, because you thought that you remembered not their Cause T 28 B 6 T(969)795
NOT your Fathers Will that He be unremembered by His T 28 B 6 T(969)795
miracles. They but remind you that It has not gone. When T 28 B 7 T(969)795
OWN effects, and doing NOTHING that would interfere. T 28 T 28 B 8 T(970)796
comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant, and is T 28 B 9 T(970)796
still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and from the T 28 B 9 T(970)796
extension back into the Mind that caused ALL minds to be T 28 B 9 T(970)796
instant given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed T 28 B 10 T(970)796
effects. The instants silence that His Son accepts gives welcome T 28 B 10 T(970)796
they would abide. For in that instant does the Son of T 28 B 10 T(970)796
Son of God do NOTHING that would make himself afraid. T 28 B 10 T(970)796
God arises in the mind that has no fear to keep T 28 B 11 T(971)797
but rather is the Cause that fear was made to render T 28 B 11 T(971)797
WAS a cause besides It, that could generate a DIFFERENT past T 28 B 12 T(971)797
never reach. His Father wills that he be lifted up, and T 28 B 13 T(971)797
across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what T 28 B 13 T(971)797
in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded from the T 28 B 13 T(971)797
be excluded from the Will that IS for you.
T 28 B 13 T(971)797
Creator, and RECEIVES the gift that he has given Him. It T 28 C 1 T(972)- 798
he is Gods Son that he must ALSO be a T 28 C 1 T(972)- 798
desire, he does not believe that he is Loves EFFECTS T 28 C 3 T(972)- 798
but ONE effect. And, in that recognition, causelessness is GIVEN no T 28 C 3 T(972)- 798
at all has happened, but that you have put yourself to T 28 C 4 T(972)- 798
is like a memory, in that it pictures what you WANTED T 28 C 4 T(973)- 799
perceive this much at least; that YOU have caused the dream T 28 C 5 T(973)- 799
dream, it MUST be realized that it is YOU who dreamed T 28 C 5 T(973)- 799
YOU who dreamed the dreaming that you do not like. It T 28 C 5 T(973)- 799
It is but an effect that YOU have caused, and you T 28 C 5 T(973)- 799
ask you make another. ONLY that you see you made the T 28 C 5 T(973)- 799
CAUSELESS, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the T 28 C 6 T(973)- 799
possible, and no design exists that could be found and understood T 28 C 6 T(973)- 799
be EXPECTED from a thing that has no cause? But, if T 28 C 6 T(973)- 799
give it real EFFECTS. For that would change its CAUSE, and T 28 C 6 T(973)- 799
you dream a dream, and that its content is not true T 28 C 7 T(973)- 799
BECAUSE he did not see that he was AUTHOR of the T 28 C 7 T(973)- 799
He gives HIMSELF the consequences that he dreams he gave his T 28 C 7 T(973)- 799
offered him, to show him that his wishes have been done T 28 C 7 T(973)- 799
nothing but to show him that HE has done nothing. What T 28 C 8 T(974)- 800
off, and then REVERSED, so that effect becomes a cause; the T 28 C 9 T(974)- 800
their hate BECAUSE you see that it has no effects. Now T 28 C 10 T(974)- 800
it. But it ALSO shows that, HAVING no effects it is T 28 C 11 T(975)- 801
useless, if you learn but that the BODY can be healed T 28 C 11 T(975)- 801
is the MIND was sick that thought the body COULD be T 28 C 11 T(975)- 801
dream of fear to one that is ALREADY being dreamed. Without T 28 D 1 T(975)- 801
For it is your SUPPORT that strengthens it. No mind is T 28 D 1 T(975)- 801
sick until another mind AGREES that they are separate. And thus T 28 D 1 T(975)- 801
is the effect of minds that join, as sickness comes from T 28 D 2 T(976)- 802
as sickness comes from minds that separate. The miracle does nothing T 28 D 2 T(976)- 802
to bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not T 28 D 3 T(976)- 802
for it is His coming that you WANT above all things T 28 D 3 T(976)- 802
you WANT above all things that seem to glisten in the T 28 D 3 T(976)- 802
gap is all the cause that sickness has. For it was T 28 D 4 T(976)- 802
vacant place between the ripples that a ship has made in T 28 D 4 T(976)- 802
cannot destroy the alien will that He created not. Let its T 28 D 5 T(977)- 803
away a heap of snow that shone like silver. They have T 28 D 6 T(977)- 803
Self. The door is open, that all those may come who T 28 D 7 T(977)- 803
shown. For HERE, the more that anyone receives, the more is T 28 D 8 T(977)- 803
Its table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests T 28 D 8 T(978)- 804
and of death. It means that you share NOT his wish T 28 E 1 T(979)805
himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned instead on T 28 E 1 T(979)805
suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you T 28 E 1 T(979)805
sure of just ONE thing; that you are evil, for you T 28 E 1 T(979)805
the same, because you think that YOU are but a dream T 28 E 2 T(979)805
brother. It is his REALITY that is your brother, as is T 28 E 3 T(979)805
you, or you MUST believe that it is YOUR reality, as T 28 E 4 T(980)806
because there is no gap that separates His Oneness from Itself T 28 E 6 T(980)806
with him. He has dreamed that he was separated from his T 28 E 6 T(980)806
out to every separate piece that thinks it is a picture T 28 E 7 T(981)807
dreams, this IS the picture that the miracle will place within T 28 E 7 T(981)807
to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces T 28 E 8 T(981)807
sickness come from the belief that there is JOY in separation T 28 E 9 T(981)807
shared His Will with you, that His creation might create. T 28 F 1 T(982)808
suffering, of pain and loss, that makes them real. UNSHARED they T 28 F 2 T(982)808
forgive the dreamer, and perceive that he is NOT the dream T 28 F 2 T(982)808
own identity, because you think that IT is fearful. And you T 28 F 3 T(982)808
you can be a thing that is NOT you, MUST be T 28 F 3 T(982)808
Here is a world established that is sick, and this the T 28 F 4 T(983)809
to be sick? And what that He created not can BE T 28 F 5 T(983)809
to look upon a world that is not there; to hear T 28 F 5 T(983)809
there; to hear the voices that can make no sounds. Yet T 28 F 5 T(983)809
report. It is not THEY that hear and see, but YOU T 28 F 5 T(983)809
fragments seen within the gap that YOU imagined, and let THEM T 28 F 6 T(983)809
between you do not understand that it is HERE that you T 28 F 7 T(984)810
understand that it is HERE that you are kept as prisoners T 28 F 7 T(984)810
innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see within yourself T 28 F 7 T(984)810
responsible for sight a thing that cannot see, and blame it T 28 G 2 T(985)811
has been set. And if that path is changed, it walks T 28 G 2 T(985)811
it IS your self, and that, WITHOUT it, would your self T 28 G 4 T(986)812
This is the secret vow that you have made with every T 28 G 4 T(986)812
out upon the body, so that IT will suffer pain. It T 28 G 5 T(986)812
your agreement with each one; that you be one with him T 28 G 5 T(986)812
he will keep the promise that you make with him, because T 28 G 5 T(986)812
Me. His Son remembers not that he replied I will, though T 28 G 6 T(986)812
replied I will, though in that promise he was born. Yet T 28 G 6 T(986)812
And it is only there that he could want for something T 28 H 1 T(987)813
what He IS. The promise that there IS no gap between T 28 H 1 T(987)813
grasp uncertainly at any straw that seems to hold some promise T 28 H 3 T(987)813
own, and you have chosen that it NOT be sick. All T 28 H 4 T(988)814
world is but the dream that you can BE alone, and T 28 H 5 T(988)814
sick. This SEEMS to prove that you must be APART. Yet T 28 H 5 T(988)814
Yet all it means is that you tried to keep a T 28 H 5 T(988)814
resting on Gods promise, that His Son is safe forever T 28 H 7 T(989)815
conceived of in the Wholeness that is His. The compromise the T 29 A 1 T(990)816
hate, and so he thinks that love is fearful; hate is T 29 A 2 T(990)816
who cherish it, and think that it is their salvation and T 29 A 2 T(990)816
God! -- the greatest obstacle that peace must flow across has T 29 A 2 T(990)816
3. You had DECIDED that your brother is your enemy T 29 A 3 T(990)816
SOMETIMES a friend, perhaps, provided that your separate interests made yourT 29 A 3 T(990)816
ENDOW it with a power that lies NOT within itself. And T 29 B 2 T(991)817
you. For now you think that IT determines when you meet T 29 B 2 T(991)817
own. It is not love that asks a sacrifice. But fear T 29 B 3 T(991)817
how frequently you have demanded that it go away, and leave T 29 B 4 T(992)818
OR weakness. Would you recognize that NOTHING stands between you? Would T 29 B 4 T(992)818
There IS a shock that comes to those who learn T 29 B 5 T(992)818
more. There IS a wariness that is aroused by learning that T 29 B 5 T(992)818
that is aroused by learning that the body is not real T 29 B 5 T(992)818
God is Love. Yet all that happens when the gap is T 29 B 5 T(992)818
peace eternal. Nothing MORE than that, and nothing less. Without the T 29 B 5 T(992)818
RELEASE from suffering to learn that you are free? Why would T 29 C 1 T(993)819
some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you T 29 C 1 T(993)819
is not a separate thing that happens suddenly, as an effect T 29 C 2 T(993)819
feet, and asks you now that you will look on them T 29 C 4 T(994)820
they are where He is that brought them with Him, that T 29 C 5 T(994)820
that brought them with Him, that they might be yours. You T 29 C 5 T(994)820
constant change. But what is that except the state confusion really T 29 C 6 T(995)821
It represents the larger dream that change is POSSIBLE. To change T 29 C 7 T(995)821
with health, and with events that seem to alter it. And T 29 C 7 T(995)821
the body be a thing that it is not. Its NOTHINGNESS T 29 C 8 T(995)821
not. Its NOTHINGNESS is guarantee that it can NOT be sick T 29 C 8 T(995)821
be sick. In your demand that it be MORE than this T 29 C 8 T(995)821
of sickness. For it asks that God be LESS than all T 29 C 8 T(995)821
asked? For He is told that part of him BELONGS to T 29 C 8 T(995)821
C 9. The body that is asked to be a T 29 C 9 T(996)822
it for its littleness, unmindful that the failure does not lie T 29 C 9 T(996)822
failure does not lie in that it is not MORE than T 29 C 9 T(996)822
in YOUR failure to perceive that it is nothing. Yet its T 29 C 9 T(996)822
God, and it is this that makes him savior unto YOU T 29 C 10 T(996)822
having. Only those who think that God is lessened by their T 29 D 1 T(997)823
Or are you the proof that He IS perfect and complete T 29 D 2 T(997)823
FROM the dream he made, that he be free of it T 29 D 2 T(997)823
living things who know not that they live. Within the dream T 29 D 2 T(997)823
the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his T 29 D 3 T(997)823
light. The darkness cannot CHOOSE that it remain. The coming of T 29 D 3 T(997)823
this means forgive your brother, that the darkness may be lifted T 29 D 4 T(998)824
face he saw the light that he would keep beside him T 29 D 4 T(998)824
How holy are you, that the Son of God can T 29 D 5 T(998)824
steps aside from heavy shadows that have hidden him, and shines T 29 D 5 T(998)824
him. This is the spark that shines within the dream; that T 29 D 5 T(998)824
that shines within the dream; that you can help him waken T 29 D 5 T(998)824
1. Do you believe that truth can be but SOME T 29 E 1 T(999)813
for the miracle, which MEANS that you have understood that dreams T 29 E 1 T(999)813
MEANS that you have understood that dreams are dreams, and that T 29 E 1 T(999)813
that dreams are dreams, and that escape depends, NOT on the T 29 E 1 T(999)813
wanted. It is the idea that they EXIST from which the T 29 E 4 T(1000)814
proper role to every figure that the dream contains. No-one can T 29 E 5 T(1000)814
determined by their purpose, in that they seem to BE what T 29 E 5 T(1000)814
and is peace. Think not that you can change Their dwelling T 29 F 1 T(1001)815
in you, so deep within that nothing in this world but T 29 F 2 T(1001)815
ACCEPT the Changeless and Eternal that abide in him, for YOUR T 29 F 2 T(1001)815
function is. He was created that YOU might be whole, for T 29 F 3 T(1001)815
Father asks of you but that you see in all creation T 29 F 4 T(1001)815
behold YOUR peace. The quiet that surrounds you dwells in him T 29 F 4 T(1002)816
innocence. These are not hands that grasp in dreams of pain T 29 F 4 T(1002)816
but knew the glorious goal that lies beyond forgiveness, you would T 29 F 5 T(1002)816
did not give in minds that can direct the hand to T 29 F 5 T(1002)816
of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from T 29 F 7 T(1003)817
though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet T 29 F 7 T(1003)817
Let us be glad indeed that this is so, and seek T 29 F 7 T(1003)817
God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son T 29 G 1 T(1004)818
thing in all the universe that MUST be One. T 29 T 29 G 1 T(1004)818
be no more. All things that come and go, the tides T 29 G 2 T(1004)818
lives of man; all things that change with time and bloom T 29 G 2 T(1004)818
But time waits upon forgiveness, that the things of time may T 29 G 2 T(1004)818
Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing T 29 G 3 T(1004)818
APPEARS to be. Think not that YOU can set a goal T 29 G 3 T(1004)818
CAN give yourself a purpose that you do not have. But T 29 G 3 T(1004)818
God He gave to all that YOU would make eternal, to T 29 G 3 T(1004)818
would make eternal, to ensure that ONLY Heaven would not pass T 29 G 3 T(1004)818
set in time, and change that time might be preserved, EXCEPTING T 29 G 4 T(1005)819
must be lifes EXTENSION, that it be as One forever T 29 G 4 T(1005)819
body, ONLY if you think that it was made to crucify T 29 G 5 T(1005)819
peace EXCEPTING there. Each idol that you worship when God calls T 29 H 1 T(1006)820
not there? Do you prefer that you be right or happy T 29 H 1 T(1006)820
or happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness T 29 H 1 T(1006)820
lingering illusion, or some dream that there is something OUTSIDE of T 29 H 2 T(1006)820
is something OUTSIDE of himself that will bring happiness and peace T 29 H 2 T(1006)820
he bestows upon the body; that it seek for what he T 29 H 2 T(1006)820
about, in search of something that he cannot find, believing him T 29 H 3 T(1006)820
does not understand the idol that he seeks IS but his T 29 H 3 T(1006)820
s Son within, and PROVE that he is victor over him T 29 H 3 T(1006)820
has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and T 29 H 3 T(1006)820
it, and this the role that cannot BE fulfilled.
T 29 H 3 T(1006)820
your death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and T 29 H 4 T(1007)821
maintain allegiance to the dream that you must find what is T 29 H 5 T(1007)821
for what they really are. That is the only power which T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
he IS. Idols are made that HE may be replaced, no T 29 I 1 T(1009)823
and CANNOT leave the mind that is their source. Nor is T 29 I 3 T(1009)823
to life, and GIVEN power that it may be feared. Its T 29 I 5 T(1010)824
attempts to seek for one that yet might offer him a T 29 I 8 T(1011)825
MORE. And it is THIS that is against Gods Will T 29 I 8 T(1011)825
the holy Son of God, that this could BE his wish T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
ground, and look to idols that they raise him up? Hear T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
it be not the truth that you believe that it is T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
the truth that you believe that it is NOT a dream T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
perfect as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to T 29 J 1 T(1012)826
Son, and it IS justice that who judges HIM will not T 29 J 3 T(1012)826
they are eager to forget that they made up the dream T 29 J 4 T(1013)827
He thinks he NEEDS them that he may escape his thoughts T 29 J 5 T(1013)827
remain outside himself, and play that HE is but a part T 29 J 5 T(1013)827
where all is joy, because that is the PURPOSE that it T 29 J 7 T(1014)828
because that is the PURPOSE that it has. Only forgiving dreams T 29 J 7 T(1014)828
ears, but with the holiness that never left the altar which T 29 J 8 T(1014)828
you. For, beneath your hope that it will save you, lie T 29 J 9 T(1014)828
uncertainty, so deep and bitter that the dream can not conceal T 29 J 9 T(1014)828
death. Forgiving dreams remind you that you live in safety, and T 29 J 9 T(1014)828
and dreams become a sign that you have made a new T 29 J 10 T(1015)829
day can happen just like that. Then try again to HAVE T 30 B 1 T(1016)830
decision by myself. This means that you are choosing NOT to T 30 B 2 T(1016)830
myself, This is the day that will be GIVEN me. These T 30 B 3 T(1017) 831
mind to WANT an answer that will work. Be certain this T 30 B 3 T(1017) 831
day you want, and recognize that something has occurred which is T 30 B 4 T(1017) 831
part of it. Then realize that you have asked a question T 30 B 4 T(1017) 831
6. 5. Having decided that you do not like the T 30 B 6 T(1018)832
of opposition, and reminds you that help is not being thrust T 30 B 6 T(1018)832
upon you, but is something that you want and that you T 30 B 6 T(1018)832
something that you want and that you need BECAUSE you do T 30 B 6 T(1018)832
it has occurred to you that YOU will gain, if what T 30 B 7 T(1018)832
what you want, and SEE that it is this for which T 30 B 7 T(1019)833
made ready for a question that makes sense, and so the T 30 B 8 T(1019)833
AGAINST it, for you see that it is YOU who will T 30 B 8 T(1019)833
It MUST be clear that it is easier to have T 30 B 9 T(1019)833
you choose to make them. That is really all. T T 30 B 9 T(1019)833
here, nor grounds for opposition that you may be free. There T 30 B 10 T(1019)833
needs but two to understand that they can not decide alone T 30 B 12 T(1020)834
and gives it all effects that it will EVER have. It T 30 B 12 T(1020)834
this be the ONE reminder that you keep in mind, and T 30 B 12 T(1020)834
Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit T 30 C 1 T(1021)835
YOUR knowledge, saved for YOU, that you may do YOUR will T 30 C 1 T(1021)835
be. And not one Thought that God has ever had but T 30 C 1 T(1021)835
He asks no more than that He hear you call Him T 30 C 1 T(1021)835
to do your will! For that IS freedom. There is nothing T 30 C 2 T(1021)835
freedom. There is nothing else that ever should be called by T 30 C 2 T(1021)835
for himself? God but ensured that you would never LOSE your T 30 C 2 T(1021)835
perfect Answer. Hear It now, that you may be reminded of T 30 C 2 T(1021)835
choice against YOURSELF, and choose that YOU be bound. T T 30 C 2 T(1021)835
YOURS as well, reminding you that it is NOT your will T 30 C 3 T(1021)835
it is NOT your will that it be bound. What lies T 30 C 3 T(1021)835
it is by your will that it was born. No light T 30 C 4 T(1022)836
give, when you have recognized that YOU are free. But you T 30 C 5 T(1022)836
must depend on YOUR decision, that he learn death HAS no T 30 C 5 T(1022)836
LIMITS; they are the belief that there are FORMS which will T 30 D 1 T(1023)837
which will bring happiness, and that, BY limiting, is all attained T 30 D 1 T(1023)837
because it IS your will that everything be yours. Decide for T 30 D 1 T(1023)837
yourself complete, can only mean that you believe some FORM is T 30 D 3 T(1023)837
the purpose of an idol; that you will not look BEYOND T 30 D 3 T(1023)837
the source of your belief that you ARE incomplete. ONLY if T 30 D 3 T(1023)837
It NEVER is the idol that you want. But what you T 30 D 4 T(1024)838
granted. NOT in any form that would content you not, but T 30 D 5 T(1024)838
30 D 6. Nothing that God knows not exists. And T 30 D 6 T(1025)839
long as does the mind that thought of them. And in T 30 D 6 T(1025)839
But all this means is that you are sometimes AWARE of T 30 D 7 T(1025)839
in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven know T 30 D 8 T(1025)839
dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad T 30 D 9 T(1026)840
dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take, quite undisturbed T 30 D 9 T(1026)840
unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows T 30 D 9 T(1026)840
world that worships idols, and that knows not God. In perfect T 30 D 9 T(1026)840
knows as Its Creator knows that It is there. T T 30 D 9 T(1026)840
your reality. Forget not, then, that idols MUST keep hidden what T 30 D 10 T(1026)840
made idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You T 30 E 1 T(1027)841
MADE him safe, and thought that it had left. T T 30 E 2 T(1027)841
E 3. The gap that is not there is filled T 30 E 3 T(1027)841
GUARANTEE your safety. All illusions that you believe about yourself obey T 30 E 4 T(1028)842
deceived. For thus you prove that you HAVE BEEN deceived. Attack T 30 E 5 T(1028)842
made fearful by a power that can have no REAL effects T 30 E 5 T(1028)842
at its toys, and understand that they are idols which but T 30 E 5 T(1028)842
all. His ONE mistake is that he thinks them real. What T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
can but deceive the mind that WANTS to be deceived. And T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
can make a simple choice that will forever place you far T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
understand. But you WILL understand that mighty changes have been quickly T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
the Son of God declares that he is free of idols T 30 E 6 T(1028)842
but to forgive all things that no-one ever did; to overlook T 30 E 7 T(1029)843
disappear. For here the gap that is not there begins to T 30 E 7 T(1029)843
without the toys of terror that you made. T 30 T 30 E 7 T(1029)843
offer him no single thing that he could ever want. He T 30 E 8 T(1029)843
are. And it is recognized that all things must be FIRST T 30 F 1 T(1030)844
understood. Here, it is thought that understanding is ACQUIRED by attack T 30 F 1 T(1030)844
attack. There it is clear that BY attack is understanding LOST T 30 F 1 T(1030)844
be Himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows T 30 F 4 T(1031)845
go when it has understood that idols are nothing and nowhere T 30 F 5 T(1031)845
sin and guilt. And all that stood BETWEEN your image of T 30 F 5 T(1031)845
not create His Son AGAIN, that what is his be given T 30 F 5 T(1031)845
think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their T 30 F 6 T(1031)845
you to join Him. Now that you have come, would HE T 30 F 7 T(1032)846
in showing you the way that He must walk with you T 30 F 7 T(1032)846
happiness have you sought here that did not bring you pain T 30 F 8 T(1032)846
choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost T 30 F 9 T(1032)846
in confidence, with happy hearts that beat in hope and do T 30 F 9 T(1032)846
can they forget for long that It is but their own T 30 F 9 T(1032)846
justified. For this would mean that you forgive a sin by T 30 G 1 T(1033)847
PARDON. For it would assume that, by responding in a way T 30 G 1 T(1033)847
nor overlook a REAL attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does T 30 G 2 T(1033)847
real. Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what T 30 G 2 T(1033)847
understanding is the ONLY change that lets the real world rise T 30 G 3 T(1033)847
sinners sometimes, but remains AWARE that they have sinned. And so T 30 G 3 T(1033)847
do not MERIT the forgiveness that it gives.

T 30 G 3 T(1033)847
his. Nor will you think that God intends for you a T 30 G 4 T(1034)848
For it is the truth that you CAN merit neither more T 30 G 4 T(1034)848
This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too T 30 G 5 T(1035)849
There CAN be no appearance that can NOT be overlooked. For T 30 G 5 T(1035)849
There would be an error that is MORE than a mistake T 30 G 5 T(1035)849
forgiveness CANNOT cure. This means that you prefer to keep SOME T 30 G 6 T(1035)849
go. And thus you think that SOME appearances are real, and T 30 G 6 T(1035)849
MEANING of a fixed belief that SOME appearances are harder to T 30 G 6 T(1035)849
keep an image of yourself that is not whole, and will T 30 G 7 T(1035)849
of him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal T 30 G 8 T(1036)850
can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. Forgiveness T 30 G 8 T(1036)850
Here is the joyful statement that there are NO forms of T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
of God; the glad acknowledgment that guilt has NOT succeeded, by T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
COULD not make an error that could change the truth in T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
NOT difficult to overlook mistakes that have been given no effects T 30 G 9 T(1036)850
meaning. For it cannot be that meaning changes constantly, and yet T 30 H 1 T(1037)851
in the day, and all that happens now means something else T 30 H 1 T(1037)851
in the light of goals that change, with EVERY meaning shifting T 30 H 2 T(1037)851
DIFFERENT meanings, it MUST mean that they reflect but different purposes T 30 H 3 T(1037)851
this is ALL the meaning that they have. Can this BE T 30 H 3 T(1037)851
a state so seemingly unsafe that fear MUST rise. Do not T 30 H 7 T(1039)853
symbols are we joined, so that they mean the same to T 30 H 7 T(1039)853
is changeless. It is this that MAKES it real, and KEEPS T 30 I 1 T(1040)854
miracle is means to demonstrate that ALL appearances can change BECAUSE T 30 I 1 T(1040)854
EASILY BE CHANGED. This demonstrates that it was never real, and T 30 I 2 T(1040)854
stem from his reality. For that is changeless, and has no T 30 I 2 T(1040)854
SEEM to be the wish that NO reality be so. But T 30 I 3 T(1040)854
But it IS an assertion that some FORMS of idols have T 30 I 3 T(1040)854
the hope of change is that the miracle cannot come forth T 30 I 4 T(1041)855
But there is no miracle that CAN be given you UNLESS T 30 I 4 T(1041)855
there to heal all things that change, and offer them to T 30 I 5 T(1041)855
is perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then T 30 I 5 T(1041)855
be no dreams about him that you would PREFER to seeing T 30 I 5 T(1041)855
CAN have no effects. And that is all. Can this BE T 31 A 1 T(1042)856
hard is it to see that what is false can not T 31 A 1 T(1042)856
You can no longer say that you perceive no differences in T 31 A 1 T(1042)856
confused. For somehow you believe that what is TOTALLY confused is T 31 A 2 T(1042)856
strong enough to teach you that your will is NOT your T 31 A 3 T(1042)856
4. Who could maintain that lessons such as these are T 31 A 4 T(1043)857
until a world was built that suited you. And every lesson T 31 A 4 T(1043)857
suited you. And every lesson that makes up the world arises T 31 A 4 T(1043)857
God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple T 31 A 4 T(1043)857
but to uphold a wish that It COULD be opposed, and T 31 A 5 T(1043)857
It COULD be opposed, and that a will APART from It T 31 A 5 T(1043)857
of Truth, and teach you that Its lessons are not true T 31 A 5 T(1043)857
Will is in the Voice That speaks for Him. Which lesson T 31 A 6 T(1043)857
certain outcome of the lesson that Gods Son is guilty T 31 A 7 T(1044)858
for safety you can make that ever will succeed. There IS T 31 A 7 T(1044)858
succeed. There IS no joy that you can seek for here T 31 A 7 T(1044)858
The outcome of the lesson that Gods Son is guiltless T 31 A 8 T(1044)858
understand it was THIS call that everyone and everything within the T 31 A 8 T(1044)858
not share the universal will that it be whole, and that T 31 A 9 T(1044)858
that it be whole, and that you do not leave its T 31 A 9 T(1044)858
call to life, and understood that it is but your own T 31 A 9 T(1044)858
as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming call T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
each seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
each murderous attack, and pleads that love restore the dying world T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
Him answer in the language that He calls. He will appear T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
you will know in Him that God is Love. T T 31 A 10 T(1045)859
want? It is the RECOGNITION that it is a state of T 31 A 11 T(1045)859
a state of mind UNWANTED that becomes the means whereby the T 31 A 11 T(1045)859
the deeper call beyond it, that appeals for peace and joy T 31 A 11 T(1045)859
we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things T 31 A 12 T(1046)860
of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of T 31 A 12 T(1046)860
to him, WITHOUT the past that sentenced him to die, and T 31 A 12 T(1046)860
old. It is not VANQUISHED that the truth be known, or T 31 B 1 T(1046)860
be expended, and no plans that need be laid for bringing T 31 B 1 T(1046)860
them, to the ONE Alternative that IS a different choice. But T 31 B 2 T(1046)860
not in dreams you made, that this might be OBSCURED to T 31 B 2 T(1046)860
it love. Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at T 31 B 3 T(1047)861
FOR, and learned to think that this his purpose IS. Unless T 31 B 3 T(1047)861
has not fulfilled the function that was given him by you T 31 B 3 T(1047)861
think of this: The answer that I give my brother is T 31 B 5 T(1047)861
thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you learned about this Son T 31 B 6 T(1048)862
wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing T 31 B 7 T(1048)862
you did not want, and that were NEVER true. T T 31 B 7 T(1048)862
which are but ancient lessons that you taught yourself about the T 31 B 8 T(1048)862
come with but ONE purpose; that you both may learn you T 31 B 9 T(1049)863
Is it not clear that while you still insist on T 31 B 10 T(1049)863
the light before you, so that every step is made in T 31 B 10 T(1049)863
prepare to make a choice that will result in DIFFERENT outcomes T 31 C 1 T(1050)864
there is first one thing that must be overlearned. It must T 31 C 1 T(1050)864
typical of everything you do, that it becomes your FIRST response T 31 C 1 T(1050)864
temptation, and to every situation that occurs. Learn this, and learn T 31 C 1 T(1050)864
the form obscures the fact that you believe it to be T 31 C 1 T(1050)864
if you did not believe that they are YOUR reality? And T 31 C 2 T(1050)864
BY attack do you assert that you are guilty, and must T 31 C 2 T(1050)864
If you did not believe that you DESERVED attack, it never T 31 C 2 T(1050)864
What could the outcome be that you would WANT? And how T 31 C 2 T(1050)864
enslave. It gives no orders that the mind need serve, nor T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
need serve, nor sets conditions that it must obey. It holds T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
prison but the willing mind that would abide in it. It T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
the bidding of the mind that would become its prisoner. And T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
grows old and dies, because that mind is sick within ITSELF T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
within ITSELF. Learning is all that causes change. And so the T 31 C 4 T(1051)865
C 5. The mind that thinks it is a sin T 31 C 5 T(1051)865
sin has but ONE purpose; that the body be the source T 31 C 5 T(1051)865
here guilt rules, and orders that the world be like itself T 31 C 5 T(1051)865
preserved, and those who think that they are sin MUST die T 31 C 5 T(1051)865
Let us be glad that you WILL see what you T 31 C 6 T(1051)865
see what you believe, and that it HAS been given you T 31 C 6 T(1051)865
said there IS no sacrifice that can be asked; there IS T 31 C 6 T(1051)865
asked; there IS no sacrifice that can be made.
T 31 C 6 T(1051)865
consolation and escape from problems that its purpose is to keep T 31 D 1 T(1052)866
here. The world was made that problems could not BE escaped T 31 D 2 T(1052)866
but the means to GAIN that end, for it is here T 31 D 2 T(1052)866
end, for it is here that all its roads will lead T 31 D 2 T(1052)866
the ANSWER to the search that all must undertake who still T 31 D 4 T(1053)867
futility? Is it not needful that he should BEGIN with this T 31 D 5 T(1053)867
situations without choice? The learning that the world can offer but T 31 D 5 T(1053)867
is the beginning of acceptance that there is a REAL alternative T 31 D 5 T(1053)867
from being reached. Think not that happiness is EVER found by T 31 D 6 T(1053)867
to learn, let me repeat that, to achieve a goal, you T 31 D 6 T(1053)867
from it.) And EVERY road that goes the other way will T 31 D 6 T(1053)867
seen the real alternatives. UNTIL that point is reached you HAVE T 31 D 7 T(1054)868
to teach no more than that the power of decision cannot T 31 D 7 T(1054)868
s purpose is to teach that what your brother loses YOU T 31 D 7 T(1054)868
but futile wandering? All roads that lead AWAY from what you T 31 D 8 T(1054)868
There IS no road that leads away from Him. A T 31 D 9 T(1054)868
insane it is to think that there COULD be a road T 31 D 9 T(1054)868
is be thankful, for in that is YOUR escape from madness T 31 D 9 T(1054)868
found. There IS no path that does not lead to Him T 31 D 9 T(1054)868
For this an image is that suits a world of shadows T 31 E 1 T(1055)869
FOR. This is its purpose; that you come WITHOUT a self T 31 E 1 T(1055)869
teach is not the thing that it appears to be. For T 31 E 2 T(1055)869
ON. It is this face that smiles and charms and even T 31 E 2 T(1055)869
sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good, within an T 31 E 2 T(1055)869
innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self T 31 E 4 T(1056)870
and a fear so devastating that the face which smiles above T 31 E 4 T(1056)870
Here is the central lesson that ensures your brother is condemned T 31 E 5 T(1056)870
IS. Yet is all learning that the world directs begun and T 31 E 7 T(1057)871
you this concept of yourself, that you will choose to follow T 31 E 7 T(1057)871
by lessons aimed to teach that you are something else. For T 31 E 7 T(1057)871
plans arranged in easy steps, that, though there be some lack T 31 E 8 T(1057)871
then, what proof there is that you are what your brother T 31 E 8 T(1057)871
you do not yet perceive that this is what you think T 31 E 8 T(1057)871
you surely learned by now that you BEHAVE as if it T 31 E 8 T(1057)871
T 31 E 9. That you are what your brother T 31 E 9 T(1057)871
be kept in darkness is that, in the light, the one T 31 E 10 T(1058)872
ARE alternatives about the thing that you must be. You might T 31 E 10 T(1058)872
active choice, and some acknowledgment that interaction must have entered inT 31 E 11 T(1058)872
in. There is some understanding that you chose for BOTH of T 31 E 11 T(1058)872
what he represents has meaning that was given it by YOU T 31 E 11 T(1058)872
sight into perceptions law that what you see reflects the T 31 E 11 T(1058)872
mind. Yet who was it that did the choosing first? If T 31 E 11 T(1058)872
second from the first is that you somehow entered in the T 31 E 12 T(1058)872
the world. And everyone believes that he must find the answer T 31 E 13 T(1059)873
but with the simple statement THAT IT THINKS. And what can T 31 E 13 T(1059)873
choice, and CAN be shown that different thoughts have different consequenceT 31 E 13 T(1059)873
consequence. And it can learn that EVERYTHING it thinks reflects the T 31 E 13 T(1059)873
thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about how it T 31 E 13 T(1059)873
There can be no concept that can stand for what you T 31 E 14 T(1059)873
And you will not perceive that you can interact but with T 31 E 14 T(1059)873
shift, but be you thankful that the learning of the world T 31 E 15 T(1059)873
and happy in the confidence that it will go at last T 31 E 15 T(1059)873
this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound T 31 E 16 T(1060)874
as made on NO assumptions that would stand the light, then T 31 E 16 T(1060)874
guilt. There is no statement that the world is more afraid T 31 E 16 T(1060)874
reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But T 31 F 1 T(1061)875
and bless your holy sight, that you may see the world T 31 F 1 T(1061)875
separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no sense at all T 31 F 2 T(1061)875
appears and disappears in death. That one is doomed to suffering T 31 F 2 T(1061)875
Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit, and T 31 F 3 T(1061)875
body not. It merely asks that this should be your CHOICE T 31 F 3 T(1061)875
good, and must be passed that both may disappear, so that T 31 F 3 T(1061)875
that both may disappear, so that perception finds no hiding place T 31 F 3 T(1061)875
there be within the universe that God created that must still T 31 F 4 T(1062)876
the universe that God created that must still be done? Only T 31 F 4 T(1062)876
in arrogance could you conceive that YOU must make the way T 31 F 4 T(1062)876
which to see the world that will replace the one you T 31 F 4 T(1062)876
5. You who believe that you can choose to see T 31 F 5 T(1062)876
have him be, forget not that no CONCEPT of yourself will T 31 F 5 T(1062)876
change. One vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture T 31 F 5 T(1062)876
change the world for eyes that learn to see BECAUSE THE T 31 F 5 T(1062)876
looks on you with eyes that see as yours. T T 31 F 5 T(1062)876
Itself. And you ARE worthy that your Will be done. T 31 F 6 T(1062)876
the good in anyone, believing that the bad must lurk behind T 31 G 1 T(1063)877
No longer did you choose that you should be the sign T 31 G 3 T(1063)877
you see without the Aid that God has given you. And T 31 G 4 T(1064)878
another world. You live in that world just as much as T 31 G 4 T(1064)878
who walks with you, so that your fearful concept of yourself T 31 G 5 T(1064)878
upon the good in him, that you may not be fearful T 31 G 5 T(1064)878
all this shift requires is that you be WILLING that this T 31 G 5 T(1064)878
is that you be WILLING that this happy change occur. No T 31 G 5 T(1064)878
you. Hold out your hand, that you may have the gift T 31 G 5 T(1064)878
Him Who understands the changes that it needs to let it T 31 G 6 T(1064)878
you to bring you peace, that you may offer peace to T 31 G 6 T(1064)878
and warps your vision, so that you behold nothing with clarity T 31 G 7 T(1065)879
and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and T 31 G 7 T(1065)879
for fear IS hell. All that is given you is for T 31 G 7 T(1065)879
names for just ONE error; that there is a space between T 31 G 9 T(1065)879
to the illusion of yourself, that it may fight to keep T 31 G 9 T(1065)879
fight to keep the space that holds your brother off unoccupied T 31 G 9 T(1065)879
BUT an image of yourself that CAN be miserable, and remain T 31 G 10 T(1066)880
to save from every concept that he ever held. T T 31 G 10 T(1066)880
is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within T 31 G 11 T(1066)880
in everyone they look upon, that he may be what they T 31 G 11 T(1066)880
is the saviors vision; that he see HIS innocence in T 31 G 11 T(1066)880
to what he looks upon, that he may see it as T 31 G 11 T(1066)880
wish to be a self that you are not. And FROM T 31 G 12 T(1066)880
you are not. And FROM that wish a concept rises, teaching T 31 G 12 T(1066)880
of yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is T 31 G 12 T(1066)880
vigilant against temptation, then, remembering that it is but a wish T 31 G 14 T(1068)882
as well upon the thing that you would be instead. It T 31 G 14 T(1068)882
to listen, when you learn that it is YOU for whom T 31 G 15 T(1068)882
release your minds from everything that hides His Face from you T 31 G 3 T(1069)883
He is the ONLY power that is real in you. His T 31 G 3 T(1069)883
because He is the Self that God created as His ONLY T 31 G 3 T(1069)883
your weakness with the strength that comes from God, and that T 31 G 5 T(1070)884
that comes from God, and that can NEVER fail. And thus T 31 G 5 T(1070)884
holiness was made. For IN that choice are false distinctions gone T 31 G 5 T(1070)884
would have him be, remembering that every choice you make establishes T 31 G 6 T(1070)884
forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before.
T 31 G 7 T(1070)884
God ordained, in loving kindness, that it BE for you. Let T 31 G 8 T(1071)885
you. Let us be glad that we can walk the world T 31 G 8 T(1071)885
Yours. I am as sure that they will come to me T 31 G 9 T(1071)885
fixed determination toward the light that shines beyond in perfect constancyT 31 G 10 T(1071)885
Light shine forth from everything that lives and moves in You T 31 G 11 T(1072)886
of sight. It is recommended that each exercise be repeated several W 1 IN1 3 W(1)
to generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each W 1 IN1 3 W(1)
so that you will understand that each of them is as W 1 IN1 3 W(1)
to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is W 1 IN1 4 W(1)
exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as many specificsW 1 IN1 4 W(1)
specifics as possible. Be sure that you do not decide that W 1 IN1 4 W(1)
that you do not decide that there are some things you W 1 IN1 4 W(1)
require effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in W 1 IN1 4 W(2)
W(3) That door does not mean anything W 1 L 2 W(3)
door does not mean anything. That body does not mean anything W 1 L 2 W(3)
body does not mean anything. That lamp does not mean anything W 1 L 2 W(3)
lamp does not mean anything. That sign does not mean anything W 1 L 2 W(3)
sign does not mean anything. That shadow does not mean anything W 1 L 2 W(3)
1 L 3. Notice that these statements are not arranged W 1 L 3 W(3)
to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the W 1 L 3 W(3)
become ritualistic. Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically W 1 L 3 W(3)
this place) all the meaning that it has for me. W 2 L 0 W(4)
one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply W 2 L 1 W(4)
outward. Turn your head so that you include whatever is to W 2 L 1 W(4)
idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on W 2 L 2 W(4)
in particular, but be sure that nothing is specifically excluded. W 2 L 2 W(4)
applying the idea. Be sure that you do not question the W 3 L 1 W(5)
them. It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open W 3 L 2 W(5)
begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing your mind for W 4 L 1 W(6)
to look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture W 4 L 1 W(6)
they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none of W 4 L 1 W(6)
true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each W 5 L 1 W(8)
of different forms of upset that are disturbing you, regardless of W 5 L 4 W(9)
upset because I see something that is not there. W 6 L 0 W(10)
at because I see something that is not there. I am W 6 L 1 W(10)
about because I see something that is not there. W W 6 L 1 W(10)
useful for application to anything that seems to upset you, and W 6 L 2 W(10)
used throughout the day for that purpose. However, the three or W 6 L 2 W(10)
is the reason why nothing that you see means anything. It W 7 L 1 W(11)
you see all the meaning that it has for you. It W 7 L 1 W(11)
upset because you see something that is not there. W W 7 L 1 W(11)
new ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need W 7 L 2 W(11)
see only the past in that body. I see only the W 7 L 4 W(12)
see only the past in that face. Do not linger over W 7 L 4 W(12)
hold about the past is that it is not here. To W 8 L 2 W(13)
the truth is blocked. Recognizing that your mind has been merely W 8 L 3 W(13)
merely blank, rather than believing that it is filled with real W 8 L 3 W(13)
it is easier to recognize that no matter how vividly you W 8 L 4 W(13)
it intellectually, it is unlikely that it will mean anything to W 9 L 1 W(15
point. In fact, the recognition that you do not understand is W 9 L 1 W(15
aim at understanding, and assume that you have it already. W 9 L 1 W(15
the untrained mind to believe that what seems to be pictured W 9 L 2 W(15
any number of forms. Yet that does not preclude applying it W 9 L 2 W(15
applying it. No more than that is required for these or W 9 L 2 W(15
nothing. It is emphasized again that while complete inclusion should not W 9 L 3 W(15
example: I do not see that typewriter as it is now W 9 L 3 W(16)
is now. Begin with things that are nearest you, and then W 9 L 3 W(16)
range: I do not see that coat rack as it is W 9 L 3 W(16)
now. I do not see that face as it is now W 9 L 3 W(16)
now. I do not see that door as it is now W 9 L 3 W(16)
to all of them is that they are not your real W 10 L 1 W(17)
you will have no doubt that what you once believed were W 10 L 1 W(17)
process began with the idea that the thoughts of which you W 10 L 3 W(17)
status. Now we are emphasizing that the presence of these thoughts W 10 L 3 W(17)
presence of these thoughts means that you are not thinking. This W 10 L 3 W(17)
of repeating our earlier statement that your mind is really a W 10 L 3 W(17)
to release me from all that I now believe. The exercises W 10 L 4 W(17)
do so, you might imagine that you are watching an oddly W 10 L 4 W(17)
about does not mean anything. That thought about does not mean W 10 L 4 W(17)
obviously serve for any thought that distresses you at any time W 10 L 5 W(18)
mind-searching. It is not recommended that this time period be extended W 10 L 5 W(18)
to release me from all that I now believe.
W 10 L 5 W(18)
s idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world W 11 L 1 W(19)
relaxation and freedom from worry that we are trying to achieve W 11 L 3 W(19)
idea lies in the fact that it contains a correction for W 12 L 1 W(20)
major perceptual distortion. You think that what upsets you is a W 12 L 1 W(20)
Try to pace yourself so that the slow shifting of your W 12 L 2 W(20)
in these exercises, but remember that a good world implies a W 12 L 3 W(20)
L 4. Be sure that you do not alter the W 12 L 4 W(20)
in it. It is this that is meaningless in truth. Beneath W 12 L 5 W(21)
erased, you will see His. That is the ultimate purpose of W 12 L 5 W(21)
of the preceding one, except that it is more specific as W 13 L 1 W(22)
However, it does not follow that you will not perceive something W 13 L 1 W(22)
you will not perceive something that has no meaning. On the W 13 L 1 W(22)
its own ideas there, fearful that the void may otherwise be W 13 L 2 W(22)
It is essential, therefore, that you learn to recognize the W 13 L 3 W(22)
are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the world W 13 L 3 W(22)
and crowd it with images that do not exist. To the W 13 L 3 W(22)
resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of W 13 L 5 W(23)
except during the exercise periods. That will suffice at present. W 13 L 6 W(23)
does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He W 14 L 1 W(24)
the horrors in the world that cross your mind. Name each W 14 L 4 W(24)
example: God did not create that war, and so it is W 14 L 4 W(24)
real. God did not create that airplane crash, and so it W 14 L 4 W(24)
real. God did not create that disaster (specify), and so it W 14 L 4 W(24)
real. God did not create that illness(specify with name of W 14 L 4 W(24)
course, be applied to anything that disturbs you during the day W 14 L 7 W(25)
you think appear as images that you do not recognize them W 15 L 1 W(26)
objects which you see now. That is the beginning of real W 15 L 2 W(26)
vision. You can be certain that real vision will come quickly W 15 L 2 W(26)
of them. They are signs that you are opening your eyes W 15 L 3 W(26)
image which I have made. That is an image which I W 15 L 4 W(26)
minute or so of practice that is recommended, try to make W 15 L 5 W(27)
step in dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no effect W 16 L 1 W(28)
no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives W 16 L 2 W(28)
never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every thought W 16 L 3 W(28)
salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you have brings W 16 L 3 W(28)
and not worth bothering about that it is essential you recognize W 16 L 3 W(28)
to it. You will find that it is still hard for W 16 L 4 W(28)
make artificial distinctions. Every thought that occurs to you, regardless ofW 16 L 4 W(28)
is not a neutral thought. That thought about is not a W 16 L 5 W(29)
It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation W 17 L 1 W(30)
despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other W 17 L 1 W(30)
thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you W 17 L 1 W(30)
your glance on each thing that catches your eye long enough W 17 L 2 W(30)
really alive and really joyous. That is because you are unaware W 17 L 3 W(30)
is another step in learning that the thoughts which give rise W 18 L 1 W(31)
It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which will W 18 L 1 W(31)
you alone. You will notice that at times the ideas related W 19 L 1 W(32)
is reversed. The reason is that the order does not actually W 19 L 1 W(32)
are again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is W 19 L 2 W(32)
Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts W 19 L 2 W(32)
idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if W 19 L 2 W(32)
the thoughts it contains at that time. As you consider each W 19 L 3 W(32)
reminder. Do not forget, however, that random selection of subjects for W 19 L 4 W(32)
decision to see is all that vision requires. What you want W 20 L 3 W(34)
not mistake the little effort that is asked of you for W 20 L 3 W(34)
of you for a sign that our goal is of little W 20 L 3 W(34)
reminding yourselves throughout the day that you want to see. Today W 20 L 4 W(34)
also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now W 20 L 4 W(34)
the idea, you are stating that you are determined to change W 20 L 4 W(34)
You will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance W 21 L 2 W(36)
in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really recognize W 21 L 3 W(36)
anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection W 21 L 3 W(36)
others, on the fallacious grounds that they are more obvious. This W 21 L 3 W(36)
an example of the belief that some forms of attack are W 21 L 3 W(36)
of a particular person, believing that the anger is limited to W 21 L 4 W(36)
is from this savage fantasy that you want to escape. Is W 22 L 2 W(37)
not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is W 22 L 2 W(37)
a happy discovery to find that you can escape? You made W 22 L 2 W(37)
what you would destroy; everything that you hate and would attack W 22 L 2 W(37)
would attack and kill. All that you fear does not exist W 22 L 2 W(37)
the perishable. I see nothing that will last. What I see W 22 L 3 W(37)
only way out of fear that will succeed. Nothing else will W 23 L 1 W(38)
is with your thoughts, then, that we must work, if your W 23 L 1 W(38)
attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which W 23 L 2 W(38)
images, and so transform them that you will love them even W 23 L 4 W(38)
for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in W 23 L 5 W(39)
changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be identified and W 23 L 5 W(39)
and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The W 23 L 5 W(39)
two steps, you will see that this is so. W W 23 L 5 W(39)
say this, and then dismiss that thought and go on to W 23 L 6 W(39)
see. When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and of W 23 L 7 W(39)
do you realize the outcome that would make you happy. Therefore W 24 L 1 W(40)
perception of the situation, and that perception is wrong. It is W 24 L 1 W(40)
wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve your W 24 L 1 W(40)
2. If you realized that you do not perceive your W 24 L 2 W(40)
the presence of your conviction that you do know what they W 24 L 2 W(40)
toward opening your mind so that learning can begin. W W 24 L 2 W(40)
want. You will quickly realize that you have a number of W 24 L 4 W(40)
the desired outcome; and also that these goals are on different W 24 L 4 W(40)
5. Name each situation that occurs to you, and enumerate W 24 L 5 W(40)
as many goals as possible that you would like to be W 24 L 5 W(40)
properly, you will quickly recognize that you are making a large W 24 L 6 W(41)
it. You will also recognize that many of your goals are W 24 L 6 W(41)
of your goals are contradictory, that you have no unified outcome W 24 L 6 W(41)
unified outcome in mind, and that you must experience disappointment in W 24 L 6 W(41)
possible for each unresolved situation that crosses your mind, say to W 24 L 6 W(41)
for your own best interests. That is what it is for W 25 L 1 W(42)
is what it is for; that is its purpose; that is W 25 L 1 W(42)
for; that is its purpose; that is what it means. It W 25 L 1 W(42)
It is in recognizing this that your goals become unified. It W 25 L 1 W(42)
It is in recognizing this that what you see is given W 25 L 1 W(42)
as valuable is to say that they are all concerned with W 25 L 3 W(42)
For example, you do understand that a telephone is for the W 25 L 4 W(42)
for. And it is this that makes your contact with him W 25 L 4 W(42)
established for everything. The recognition that they are meaningless, rather thanW 25 L 5 W(43)
It is surely obvious that if you can be attacked W 26 L 1 W(44)
attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that W 26 L 1 W(44)
That is because you believe that you can really attack. And W 26 L 1 W(44)
you. It is this law that will ultimately save you. But W 26 L 1 W(44)
fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack W 26 L 2 W(44)
for today introduces the thought that you always attack yourself first W 26 L 3 W(44)
thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect W 26 L 3 W(44)
will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the W 26 L 4 W(44)
has occurred to you in that connection and which has caused W 26 L 6 W(45)
you are afraid, tell yourself: That thought is an attack upon W 26 L 8 W(45)
the idea on the ground that you are not sure you W 27 L 1 W(46)
a great temptation to believe that some sort of sacrifice is W 27 L 2 W(46)
20 minutes. It is recommended that you set a definite time W 27 L 3 W(46)
to yourself without disturbing anything that is going on. W W 27 L 3 W(46)
during the day you feel that you were perfectly sincere while W 27 L 4 W(46)
idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many W 27 L 4 W(46)
fact, gain vision from just that table, if you could withdraw W 28 L 5 W(48)
it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a table shares the purpose W 29 L 2 W(49)
has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you W 29 L 3 W(49)
its wholly alien nature. Remember that any order which you impose W 29 L 4 W(49)
this lamp. God is in that body. God is in that W 29 L 5 W(50)
that body. God is in that door. God is in that W 29 L 5 W(50)
that door. God is in that wastebasket. W 29 L W 29 L 5 W(50)
keeping it apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between W 30 L 2 W(51)
you, and trying to realize that the idea applies to everything W 30 L 3 W(51)
of them is recommended. During that time, look about you slowly W 31 L 2 W(52)
during the day. Remind yourself that you are making a declaration W 31 L 4 W(52)
temptation. It is a declaration that you will not yield to W 31 L 5 W(52)
try to introduce the thought that both are in your own W 32 L 2 W(53)
is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception W 33 L 1 W(54)
from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the W 34 L 1 W(55)
2. You will believe that you are part of where W 35 L 2 W(57)
where you think you are. That is because you surround yourself W 35 L 2 W(57)
your mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies W 35 L 5 W(57)
Pick up any specific situation that occurs to you, identify the W 35 L 7 W(58)
applicable to your reactions to that situation, and use them in W 35 L 7 W(58)
occurs to you. Although nothing that does occur should be omitted W 35 L 8 W(58)
for example: My holiness envelops that rug. My holiness envelops that W 36 L 3 W(59)
that rug. My holiness envelops that wall. My holiness envelops these W 36 L 3 W(59)
these fingers. My holiness envelops that chair. My holiness envelops that W 36 L 3 W(59)
that chair. My holiness envelops that body. My holiness envelops this W 36 L 3 W(59)
lets you teach the world that it is one with you W 37 L 3 W(60)
merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all W 37 L 3 W(60)
this chair. My holiness blesses that window. My holiness blesses this W 37 L 4 W(60)
blessing of your holiness immediately, that you may learn to keep W 37 L 6 W(61)
or suffering in any form that you happen to think of W 38 L 3 W(62)
as possible between a situation that is difficult for you and W 38 L 4 W(62)
difficult for you and one that is difficult for someone else W 38 L 4 W(62)
see myself, there is nothing that my holiness cannot do. In W 38 L 4 W(62)
instill in you a sense that you have dominion over all W 38 L 5 W(63)
or comes to mind. In that event, use the more specific W 38 L 6 W(63)
question. But do you believe that guilt is hell? If you W 39 L 2 W(64)
We have already said that your holiness is the salvation W 39 L 3 W(64)
apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to W 39 L 3 W(64)
the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being W 39 L 4 W(64)
so it is from them that you need to be saved W 39 L 6 W(65)
imperative for your own salvation that you see them differently. And W 39 L 7 W(65)
is your blessing on them that will save you and give W 39 L 7 W(65)
your mind for every thought that stands between you and your W 39 L 8 W(65)
idea should be stated so that its meaning remains that your W 39 L 10 W(65)
so that its meaning remains that your holiness is your salvation W 39 L 10 W(65)
is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a W 40 L 3 W(67)
Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate W 41 L 3 W(68)
it will heal the mind that thought these things were real W 41 L 3 W(68)
L 5. We understand that you do not believe all W 41 L 5 W(68)
it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention. W 41 L 6 W(69)
will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise W 41 L 8 W(69)
yours; on the complete protection that surrounds you. W 41 W 41 L 9 W(69)
laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever W 41 L 10 W(69)
His strength, not your own, that gives you power. And it W 42 L 1 W(70)
is truly given. This means that you can receive it any W 42 L 2 W(70)
them to me. Whatever thought that is clearly related to the W 42 L 4 W(70)
without censoring unless you realize that your mind is merely wandering W 42 L 5 W(70)
L 6. Remember, though, that active searching is not appropriate W 42 L 6 W(71)
thoughts together and teaching you that what you are studying is W 42 L 7 W(71)
in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and nothing is W 42 L 7 W(71)
needed, and nothing is included that is contradictory or irrelevant. The W 42 L 7 W(71)
you will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course W 42 L 7 W(71)
is important to you, and that you have not forgotten it W 42 L 7 W(71)
become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge W 43 L 1 W(72)
it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the W 43 L 1 W(72)
Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth W 43 L 1 W(72)
my Source. I cannot see that picture apart from Him. W 43 L 4 W(72)
be relatively short, be sure that you select the subjects for W 43 L 5 W(72)
to see, one must recognize that light is within, not without W 44 L 2 W(75)
going to attempt to reach that light. For that purpose, we W 44 L 3 W(75)
to reach that light. For that purpose, we will use a W 44 L 3 W(75)
today, but you may find that you will encounter strong resistance W 44 L 5 W(75)
form, you leave behind everything that you now believe, and all W 44 L 5 W(75)
have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and fears are W 44 L 6 W(76)
yourself from time to time that to reach light is to W 44 L 6 W(76)
to you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very W 44 L 8 W(76)
is also the only one that has any meaning, because it W 44 L 8 W(76)
it is the only one that has any use to you W 44 L 8 W(76)
are aware of fear. In that case, you will probably find W 44 L 9 W(76)
relaxation, and even a feeling that you are approaching, if not W 44 L 10 W(76)
world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to W 44 L 10 W(76)
thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just W 45 L 1 W(78)
you think, just as nothing that you think you see is W 45 L 1 W(78)
you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real W 45 L 1 W(78)
thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears W 45 L 1 W(78)
them in your mind, because that is where they are. They W 45 L 3 W(78)
take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday W 45 L 4 W(78)
of the world tell us that what God would have us W 45 L 4 W(78)
we will try to recognize that only what God would have W 45 L 5 W(78)
will also try to understand that only what God would have W 45 L 5 W(78)
will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing W 45 L 5 W(78)
every reason to feel confident that you will succeed today. It W 45 L 5 W(78)
45 L 7. Everything that you have thought since then W 45 L 7 W(79)
be able to remind yourself that this is no idle game W 45 L 8 W(79)
the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a W 45 L 9 W(79)
from all thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose W 45 L 9 W(80)
need of this world, but that is because it is a W 46 L 1 W(81)
It is a safe rule that anyone you do not like W 46 L 4 W(81)
What is there in you that can be counted on? What W 47 L 1 W(83)
them in such a way that only good can come of W 47 L 1 W(83)
What is there in you that gives you the recognition of W 47 L 1 W(83)
right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished? W 47 L 1 W(83)
of these things. To believe that you can is to put W 47 L 2 W(83)
of inadequacy. It is obvious that any situation which causes you W 47 L 5 W(83)
since otherwise you would believe that you could deal with the W 47 L 5 W(83)
W(84) that you will gain confidence. But W 47 L 5 W(84)
must also gain an awareness that your confidence in your real W 47 L 6 W(84)
real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if W 47 L 7 W(84)
go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the W 47 L 7 W(84)
answer to any disturbance. Remember that peace is your right because W 47 L 8 W(84)
It is strongly recommended, however, that you take a minute or W 48 L 2 W(85)
times. It is particularly important that you use the idea immediately W 48 L 2 W(85)
fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your W 48 L 3 W(85)
your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear W 48 L 3 W(85)
is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not W 48 L 3 W(85)
other part of your mind that functions in the world and W 49 L 1 W(86)
L 2. The part that is listening to the Voice W 49 L 2 W(86)
to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten W 49 L 2 W(86)
of thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are W 49 L 3 W(86)
raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and W 49 L 4 W(86)
Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the W 49 L 4 W(86)
when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat W 49 L 5 W(87)
on the world, and realizing that you are inviting Gods W 49 L 5 W(87)
the answer to every problem that confronts you today and tomorrow W 50 L 1 W(88)
than the others, concentrate on that one. At the end of W 50 R1 2 W(90)
It will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no W 50 R1 4 W(90)
You will yet learn that peace is part of you W 50 R1 5 W(90)
of you, and requires only that you be there to embrace W 50 R1 5 W(90)
And finally you will learn that there is no limit to W 50 R1 5 W(90)
to where you are, so that your peace is everywhere, as W 50 R1 5 W(90)
6. You will note that for review purposes the ideas W 50 R1 6 W(91)
reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing W 51 L 1 W(92)
no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this that I W 51 L 1 W(92)
necessary that I recognize this that I may learn to see W 51 L 1 W(92)
let it go by realizing that it has no meaning, so W 51 L 1 W(92)
it has no meaning, so that vision may take its place W 51 L 1 W(92)
is this and only this that I see. This is not W 51 L 2 W(92)
I am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean W 51 L 4 W(92)
all things my enemies, so that my anger is justified, and W 51 L 5 W(93)
never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality W 52 L 1 W(94)
look with God on all that I failed to see before W 52 L 2 W(94)
it is? Let me remember that I look on the past W 52 L 3 W(94)
my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use W 52 L 3 W(94)
give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am W 52 L 3 W(94)
it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can W 52 L 4 W(94)
Now I would choose again, that I may see.
W 52 L 4 W(94)
universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my W 52 L 5 W(95)
a world. I am grateful that this world is not real W 53 L 2 W(96)
world is not real, and that I need not see it W 53 L 2 W(96)
fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist. W 53 L 3 W(96)
of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His W 53 L 4 W(97)
what I am. The fact that I see a world in W 53 L 5 W(97)
loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the W 53 L 5 W(97)
it is not my will that they do so. My will W 53 L 5 W(97)
state of mind. I know that my state of mind can W 54 L 2 W(98)
And so I also know that the world I see can W 54 L 2 W(98)
the world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of W 54 L 3 W(98)
would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of W 54 L 5 W(99)
I would behold the proof that what has been done through W 54 L 5 W(99)
and let it teach me that my will and the Will W 54 L 5 W(99)
beloved Son. The very fact that I see such things is W 55 L 1 W(100)
see such things is proof that I do not understand God W 55 L 1 W(100)
What I see tells me that I do not know who W 55 L 1 W(100)
Joy. And It is this that I choose to see, in W 55 L 3 W(100)
own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot perceive them by W 55 L 4 W(100)
of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are W 55 L 5 W(101)
are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to W 55 L 5 W(101)
It is for that purpose that I attempt to use everyone W 55 L 5 W(101)
and everything. It is this that I believe the world is W 55 L 5 W(101)
I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what W 56 L 2 W(102)
think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need W 56 L 2 W(102)
I am, it is essential that I let this image of W 56 L 2 W(102)
world be opened for me, that I may look past it W 56 L 3 W(102)
past it to the world that reflects the Love of God W 56 L 3 W(102)
and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I W 56 L 5 W(103)
Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a W 57 L 3 W(104)
of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of W 57 L 4 W(104)
to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in W 57 L 4 W(104)
it. And I will perceive that peace also abides in the W 57 L 4 W(104)
brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep W 57 L 5 W(105)
I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me W 58 L 1 W(106)
to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy W 58 L 2 W(106)
joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness W 58 L 2 W(106)
of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ W 59 L 2 W(108)
upon this gift today, so that this day may help me W 59 L 2 W(108)
It is through this vision that I choose to see. W 59 L 3 W(108)
is given me to understand that God is the Light in W 59 L 4 W(108)
me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can W 60 L 1 W(110)
voice and the only guide that has been given to His W 60 L 4 W(110)
forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And W 60 L 5 W(111)
has given me, I remember that I am His Son. W 60 L 5 W(111)
is not humility to insist that you cannot be the light W 61 L 2 W(112)
light of the world, if that is the function God assigned W 61 L 2 W(112)
you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot W 61 L 2 W(112)
3. True humility requires that you accept todays idea W 61 L 3 W(112)
an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to save W 61 L 3 W(112)
the light of the world. That is my only function. That W 61 L 5 W(113)
That is my only function. That is why I am here W 61 L 5 W(113)
It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of W 62 L 1 W(114)
light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light W 62 L 1 W(114)
see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of W 62 L 1 W(114)
and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is W 62 L 2 W(114)
be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace W 62 L 2 W(114)
62 L 3. Remember that in every attack you call W 62 L 3 W(114)
I would fulfill my function that I may be happy. Then W 62 L 5 W(114)
your mind is the awareness that they are true. Should your W 62 L 6 W(115)
What purpose could you have that would bring you greater happiness W 63 L 1 W(116)
This is no idle request that is being asked of you W 63 L 2 W(116)
are asked to accept salvation that it may be yours to W 63 L 2 W(116)
reinforcing todays idea. Remember that Gods Son looks to W 63 L 4 W(116)
itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit has another W 64 L 2 W(117)
God will you be happy. That is because your function is W 64 L 4 W(117)
will make today by remembering that they are all really very W 64 L 5 W(118)
of content. It is impossible that any decision on earth can W 64 L 6 W(118)
just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the W 64 L 6 W(118)
salvation. It also reminds you that you have no other function W 65 L 1 W(119)
to arrange your day so that you have set apart the W 65 L 4 W(119)
which your mind needs so that the Holy Spirit can use W 65 L 4 W(119)
try to uncover each one that arises to interfere with it W 65 L 5 W(120)
is what you see now that will be totally changed when W 65 L 8 W(120)
your function is. He knows that it is your happiness. W 66 L 2 W(121)
We will merely be glad that we can find out what W 66 L 3 W(121)
your acceptance of the fact that not only is there a W 66 L 4 W(121)
you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical. God W 66 L 4 W(121)
first two thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false W 66 L 5 W(122)
The first premise is that God gives you only happiness W 66 L 6 W(122)
The second premise is that God has given you your W 66 L 7 W(122)
your function. We have seen that there are only two parts W 66 L 7 W(122)
Thus it must be that your function is established by W 66 L 8 W(122)
us try today to realize that only the truth is true W 66 L 11 W(123)
if only for a moment, that it is the truth. W 67 L 1 W(124)
are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His W 67 L 2 W(124)
thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient, and W 67 L 4 W(124)
this is not sufficient, and that you need to continue adding W 67 L 4 W(124)
will succeed in going past that, and through the interval of W 67 L 4 W(124)
Love created you. Be confident that you will do much today W 67 L 4 W(125)
do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel W 67 L 4 W(125)
most beneficial to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself W 67 L 5 W(125)
in the shorter practice periods, that this is not your tiny W 67 L 6 W(125)
not your tiny solitary voice that tells you this. This is W 67 L 6 W(125)
Voice of truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about W 67 L 6 W(125)
Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you W 68 L 1 W(126)
the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep W 68 L 2 W(126)
It is as sure that those who hold grievances will W 68 L 3 W(126)
image as it is certain that God created them like Himself W 68 L 3 W(126)
Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will W 68 L 3 W(126)
guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find W 68 L 3 W(126)
peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will W 68 L 3 W(126)
are as it is certain that those who forgive will remember W 68 L 3 W(126)
Perhaps you do not think that you can let all your W 68 L 4 W(126)
let all your grievances go. That, however, is simply a question W 68 L 4 W(126)
It will quickly become apparent that there is no-one against whom W 68 L 5 W(127)
see you as my friend, that I may remember you are W 68 L 6 W(127)
Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in W 68 L 7 W(127)
past the veil of darkness that keeps it concealed. We are W 69 L 2 W(128)
Father today, and be certain that He has heard you and W 69 L 7 W(129)
you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and W 69 L 7 W(129)
your mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining W 69 L 7 W(129)
the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God W 69 L 7 W(129)
in you and through you, that His Will and yours may W 69 L 7 W(129)
and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the W 69 L 8 W(129)
your awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not searching for W 69 L 8 W(129)
searching for it alone, and that you do know where to W 69 L 8 W(129)
nowhere else. When you realize that all guilt is solely an W 70 L 1 W(131)
mind, you must also realize that guilt and salvation must be W 70 L 1 W(131)
idea is this: It means that nothing outside yourself can save W 70 L 2 W(131)
peace. But it also means that nothing outside yourself can hurt W 70 L 2 W(131)
must surely begin to see that accepting it is salvation. It W 70 L 3 W(131)
to you why the recognition that guilt is in your own W 70 L 3 W(131)
own mind entails the realization that salvation is there as well W 70 L 3 W(131)
sickness where it cannot help. That is the way your mind W 70 L 3 W(131)
Your purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur; God W 70 L 4 W(131)
s purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we will W 70 L 4 W(131)
Today we will practice realizing that Gods Will and ours W 70 L 4 W(131)
a statement signifying your recognition that salvation comes from nothing outsideW 70 L 6 W(132)
sought to make real. Recognize that it was not there. Tell W 70 L 6 W(132)
find it in the clouds that surround the light, and it W 70 L 7 W(132)
in the light beyond. Remember that you will have to go W 70 L 7 W(132)
the light. But remember also that you have never found anything W 70 L 7 W(132)
the cloud patterns you imagined that endured, or that you wanted W 70 L 7 W(132)
you imagined that endured, or that you wanted.

W 70 L 7 W(132)
you. And I assure you that this will be no idle W 70 L 8 W(133)
practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you W 70 L 9 W(133)
You may not realize that the ego has set up W 71 L 1 W(134)
Gods, you also believe that to accept Gods plan W 71 L 1 W(134)
is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be W 71 L 1 W(134)
around holding grievances. It maintains that if someone else spoke or W 71 L 2 W(134)
assertion in which you believe, that says, If this were different W 71 L 2 W(134)
saved. The change of mind that is necessary for salvation is W 71 L 2 W(134)
of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. This W 71 L 3 W(134)
will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue W 71 L 3 W(134)
will continue, for the illusion that, although this hope has failed W 71 L 3 W(134)
what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation W 71 L 4 W(134)
alternative to Gods plan that will save you. His is W 71 L 6 W(135)
His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome W 71 L 6 W(135)
His is the only plan that must succeed. Let us practice W 71 L 6 W(135)
today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to W 71 L 6 W(135)
todays idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each W 71 L 7 W(135)
W(136) fact that you are doing the exercises W 71 L 8 W(136)
are doing the exercises proves that you have some willingness to W 71 L 8 W(136)
practice periods tell yourself often that Gods plan for salvation W 71 L 9 W(136)
While we have recognized that the egos plan for W 72 L 1 W(137)
we have not yet emphasized that it is an active attack W 72 L 1 W(137)
ego would have you believe that it is. W 72 W 72 L 2 W(137)
not like; he does something that displeases us; he betrays his W 72 L 3 W(137)
this conclusion. And every grievance that you hold insists that the W 72 L 5 W(138)
grievance that you hold insists that the body is real. It W 72 L 5 W(138)
is. It reinforces your belief that he is a body, and W 72 L 5 W(138)
for it. And it asserts that his salvation must be death W 72 L 5 W(138)
against Him and His creations, that you may not hear the W 72 L 7 W(138)
God. It is the body that is outside us, and is W 72 L 8 W(138)
today is to become aware that Gods plan for salvation W 72 L 9 W(139)
do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. Then we W 72 L 9 W(139)
shouted our grievances so loudly that we have not listened to W 72 L 10 W(139)
of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true W 72 L 11 W(139)
question and your request, remembering that you are asking them of W 72 L 11 W(139)
do not know. Tell me, that I may understand. He will W 72 L 11 W(139)
we are considering the will that you share with God. This W 73 L 1 W(141)
not idle in the sense that they can make a world W 73 L 1 W(141)
of creation. They make nothing that is real. W 73 W 73 L 1 W(141)
Would God create a world that kills Himself? W 73 W 73 L 3 W(141)
more to reach the world that is in accordance with your W 73 L 4 W(141)
been withdrawn. Yet the light that shines upon this world reflects W 73 L 4 W(141)
it must be in you that we will look for it W 73 L 4 W(141)
We have repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is W 73 L 6 W(142)
succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself W 73 L 7 W(142)
it. You have no will that can really oppose it, and W 73 L 7 W(142)
today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it W 73 L 8 W(142)
end forever the insane belief that it is hell in place W 73 L 8 W(142)
hell in place of Heaven that you choose. W 73 W 73 L 8 W(142)
practice periods with the recognition that Gods plan for salvation W 73 L 9 W(142)
Let me behold the light that reflects Gods Will and W 73 L 10 W(143)
recognized this, you have recognized that your will is His. The W 74 L 1 W(144)
will is His. The belief that conflict is possible has gone W 74 L 1 W(144)
has replaced the strange idea that you are torn by conflicting W 74 L 1 W(144)
quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your mind. Tell W 74 L 3 W(144)
this experience will you recognize that you have reached it. W 74 L 5 W(145)
Sight is given us, now that the light has come. We W 75 L 4 W(146)
75 L 6. Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to W 75 L 6 W(147)
entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails W 75 L 6 W(147)
you will see the world that has been promised you since W 75 L 7 W(147)
of an hour or so that today is a time for W 75 L 8 W(147)
your sight completely. Be confident that on this day there is W 75 L 8 W(147)
see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today W 75 L 8 W(147)
by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must W 76 L 1 W(149)
seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind W 76 L 1 W(149)
you bind yourself to laws that make no sense. W W 76 L 1 W(149)
the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by W 76 L 3 W(149)
save you. You really think that you would starve unless you W 76 L 3 W(149)
4. It is insanity that thinks these things. You call W 76 L 4 W(149)
a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve W 76 L 4 W(149)
is endangered by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers W 76 L 5 W(149)
hurts itself. The body suffers that the mind will fail to W 76 L 5 W(149)
it is its own enemy; that it attacks itself and wants W 76 L 5 W(149)
and over until you realize that it applies to everything that W 76 L 6 W(150)
that it applies to everything that you have made in opposition W 76 L 6 W(150)
will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is W 76 L 7 W(150)
Perhaps you even think that there are laws which set W 76 L 9 W(150)
readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the truth to you W 76 L 10 W(150)
tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is our Father, and W 76 L 13 W(151)
God is our Father, and that His Son is saved. W 76 L 13 W(151)
true identity. It is this that we will celebrate today. W 77 L 1 W(152)
made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is W 77 L 3 W(152)
we will also make sure that we will not content ourselves W 77 L 3 W(152)
by telling yourself quite confidently that you are entitled to miracles W 77 L 4 W(152)
Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only for W 77 L 4 W(152)
rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that miracles are never taken from W 77 L 4 W(152)
and given to another, and that in asking for your rights W 77 L 4 W(152)
wait quietly for the assurance that your request is granted. You W 77 L 5 W(152)
your own. You have requested that you be given the means W 77 L 5 W(152)
this. You are but asking that the Will of God be W 77 L 5 W(152)
anything. You state a fact that cannot be denied.
W 77 L 6 W(152)
Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The W 77 L 6 W(153)
request is granted. The fact that you accepted must be so W 77 L 6 W(153)
You will receive the assurance that you seek. W 77 W 77 L 6 W(153)
yet quite clear to you that each decision that you make W 78 L 1 W(154)
to you that each decision that you make is one between W 78 L 1 W(154)
seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him W 78 L 5 W(154)
W(155) that what lay hidden while you W 78 L 5 W(155)
in his reality and truth, that we may look on him W 78 L 7 W(155)
light In which he stands, that I may join with him W 78 L 7 W(155)
the role God gave Him, that you might be saved. W 78 L 8 W(155)
of Savior to be given, that you may share it with W 78 L 10 W(156)
problem because you cannot recognize that it has been solved. This W 79 L 1 W(157)
be accepted. Who can see that a problem has been solved W 79 L 2 W(157)
W 79 L 3. That is the position in which W 79 L 3 W(157)
and with such varied content, that they confront you with an W 79 L 5 W(157)
resolved. If you could recognize that your only problem is separation W 79 L 6 W(158)
confront you, you would understand that you have the means to W 79 L 6 W(158)
it. We will not assume that we already know. We will W 79 L 7 W(158)
many different kinds of problems that we think we have. We W 79 L 7 W(158)
We will try to realize that we have only one problem W 79 L 7 W(158)
our preconceived notions go, but that is not necessary. All that W 79 L 8 W(158)
that is not necessary. All that is necessary is to entertain W 79 L 8 W(158)
We are trying to recognize that we have been given the W 79 L 8 W(158)
by recognizing the problem, so that the problem and the answer W 79 L 8 W(158)
will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem W 79 L 9 W(158)
your problems, you will recognize that you have no problems. Your W 80 L 1 W(160)
this one problem, and understanding that it has been solved. One W 80 L 1 W(160)
has been given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready W 80 L 1 W(160)
to peace today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble W 80 L 3 W(160)
certain you do not forget that all problems are the same W 80 L 3 W(160)
we will claim the peace that must be ours when the W 80 L 4 W(160)
Now let the peace that your acceptance brings be given W 80 L 5 W(161)
and receive your reward. Recognize that your problems have been solved W 80 L 5 W(161)
problems have been solved. Recognize that you are out of conflict W 80 L 5 W(161)
at peace. Above all, remember that you have one problem and W 80 L 5 W(161)
you have one problem and that the problem has one solution W 80 L 5 W(161)
solution. It is in this that the simplicity of salvation lies W 80 L 5 W(161)
It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work W 80 L 5 W(161)
Assure yourselves often today that your problems have been solved W 80 L 6 W(161)
today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly: Let W 80 L 6 W(161)
to be free of problems that do not exist. The means W 80 L 6 W(161)
waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it. Remember W 80 R2 3 W(162)
you will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you, and W 80 R2 3 W(162)
it belongs to you, and that you want it. Do not W 80 R2 3 W(162)
face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form they take, theyW 80 R2 3 W(162)
4. Do not forget that your will has power over W 80 R2 4 W(162)
the particular words you use that matter.

W 80 R2 5 W(163)
is through accepting my function that I will see the light W 81 L 5 W(164)
forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I will W 81 L 5 W(164)
me, then, forgive the world that it may be healed along W 82 L 2 W(165)
will not experience the joy that God intends for me. W 82 L 5 W(165)
must disappear and I acknowledge that my only function is the W 83 L 2 W(166)
L 5. All things that come from God are one W 83 L 5 W(166)
attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I W 84 L 5 W(167)
will but reflect the light that shines in me and in W 85 L 5 W(168)
is an attempt to prove that Gods plan for salvation W 86 L 5 W(169)
afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I W 87 L 5 W(170)
to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened W 87 L 5 W(170)
threatened. Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred W 87 L 5 W(170)
are not there to choose. That is why I always choose W 88 L 2 W(171)
light in you is all that I would see, (name) I W 88 L 3 W(171)
grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now W 89 L 2 W(172)
God entitle me to have, that I may use it on W 89 L 2 W(172)
but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead. Seen W 89 L 3 W(172)
Let me realize today that the problem is always some W 90 L 2 W(173)
cherish. Let me also understand that the solution is always a W 90 L 2 W(173)
salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and W 90 L 2 W(173)
am misusing time. I believe that the problem comes first, and W 90 L 5 W(173)
as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is because I do not W 90 L 5 W(173)
I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer W 90 L 5 W(173)
together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by W 90 L 5 W(173)
will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem W 90 L 5 W(173)
It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go W 91 L 1 W(174)
only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see W 91 L 1 W(174)
3. To be told that what you do not see W 91 L 3 W(174)
very difficult to become convinced that it is insanity not to W 91 L 3 W(174)
instead. You do not doubt that the bodys eyes can W 91 L 3 W(174)
simply, as you instruct yourself that you are not a body W 91 L 5 W(175)
the experience of strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is W 91 L 9 W(176)
are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no W 91 L 9 W(176)
of the practice period, confident that your efforts, however meager, are W 91 L 10 W(176)
is through Their strong support that you will feel the strength W 91 L 10 W(176)
Their strength becomes your eyes, that you may see. W W 91 L 10 W(176)
reasonably regular intervals, remind yourself that miracles are seen in lightW 91 L 11 W(176)
darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your idea of W 92 L 1 W(177)
This is why you believe that you can change what you W 92 L 1 W(177)
among the many magical beliefs that come from the conviction you W 92 L 1 W(177)
thought you held the match that lights the sun, and gives W 92 L 2 W(177)
it all its warmth; or that you held the universe imprisoned W 92 L 2 W(177)
Gods strength in you that is the light in which W 92 L 3 W(177)
weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the bodys W 92 L 3 W(177)
steady gaze upon the light that lies beyond them. It unites W 92 L 4 W(177)
darkness you perceive a self that is not there.
W 92 L 4 W(177)
idol falsely worshipped, and adored that strength may be dispelled, and W 92 L 4 W(178)
darkness rule where God appointed that there should be light. W 92 L 4 W(178)
in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone would be W 92 L 5 W(178)
so it gives its light that all may see, and benefit W 92 L 5 W(178)
one. Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all W 92 L 5 W(178)
to hide itself, and dreams that it is strong and conquering W 92 L 6 W(178)
idea for today, and recognize that we are being introduced to W 92 L 10 W(179)
struck with horror so intense that you would rush to death W 93 L 1 W(180)
are beliefs so firmly fixed that it is difficult to help W 93 L 2 W(180)
difficult to help you see that they are based on nothing W 93 L 2 W(180)
they are based on nothing. That you have made mistakes is W 93 L 2 W(180)
have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought salvation in W 93 L 2 W(180)
This is enough to prove that they are wrong, but you W 93 L 3 W(180)
but you do not perceive that this is so. W W 93 L 3 W(180)
be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil which you W 93 L 4 W(180)
you did was never done, that all your sins are nothing W 93 L 4 W(180)
all your sins are nothing; that you are as pure and W 93 L 4 W(180)
as you were created, and that light and joy and peace W 93 L 4 W(180)
Will of God. You think that this is death, but it W 93 L 4 W(180)
unreal, and nothing more than that. It does not battle with W 93 L 5 W(180)
closing your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of W 93 L 10 W(182)
the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day W 93 L 12 W(182)
truth. God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to W 94 L 4 W(183)
eternally. Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God created W 94 L 5 W(184)
so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already W 95 L 1 W(185)
mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this W 95 L 4 W(185)
you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of W 95 L 5 W(185)
which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin W 95 L 11 W(187)
mind with all the certainty that you can give: I am W 95 L 11 W(187)
this Oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the W 95 L 12 W(187)
all there is and all that there will be. You are W 95 L 13 W(187)
looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share W 95 L 15 W(188)
L 2. The fact that truth and illusion cannot be W 96 L 2 W(189)
Its Self-expression. And the mind that serves the Spirit is at W 96 L 5 W(189)
this is what it thinks that it is for. Waste no W 96 L 6 W(190)
and answered in your name that it was done. Thus is W 96 L 8 W(190)
If you succeed, the Thoughts that come to you will tell W 96 L 10 W(191)
you you are saved, and that your mind has found the W 96 L 10 W(191)
mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your W 96 L 10 W(191)
11. Your Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps W 96 L 11 W(191)
you to give this day, that it be given you! W 96 L 12 W(191)
first and last; the first that is the last, for it W 97 L 3 W(192)
Him you are the Spirit that abides in Him, and Which W 97 L 5 W(192)
not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gifts W 97 L 6 W(193)
speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with W 97 L 9 W(193)
let Him tell your mind that they are true. Use them W 97 L 9 W(193)
you yield to the belief that you are something else. The W 97 L 9 W(193)
of purpose, and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety W 98 L 2 W(194)
are washed away by realizing that they were but mistakes. W 98 L 2 W(194)
They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it W 98 L 3 W(194)
which we will take today, that we may share their certainty W 98 L 3 W(194)
will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain W 98 L 4 W(194)
salvation. In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He W 98 L 8 W(195)
glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to W 98 L 8 W(195)
faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true W 98 L 9 W(196)
Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as W 98 L 9 W(196)
Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part which W 98 L 11 W(196)
the same. They both imply that something has gone wrong; something W 99 L 1 W(197)
or forgiven for; something amiss that needs corrective change, something apartW 99 L 1 W(197)
real. They have existence in that they are thoughts. And yet W 99 L 3 W(197)
not real because the mind that thinks these thoughts is separate W 99 L 3 W(197)
is apart from time in that its Source is timeless. Yet W 99 L 5 W(197)
time because of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does W 99 L 5 W(197)
mind which thought the thoughts that never were His Will. This W 99 L 8 W(198)
It is Gods Will that He has but one Son W 99 L 10 W(198)
It is Gods Will that His one Son is you W 99 L 10 W(199)
self. You have no function that is not of God. Forgive W 99 L 11 W(199)
to believe them true, remember that appearances can not withstand the W 99 L 12 W(199)
fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful W 99 L 13 W(199)
in you, and show you that you are the Son of W 99 L 13 W(199)
against His Will? The part that He has saved for you W 100 L 2 W(200)
His plan is given you that you might be restored to W 100 L 2 W(200)
your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, so your W 100 L 3 W(200)
despair. They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for W 100 L 4 W(200)
fail to take the part that is essential to Gods W 100 L 4 W(200)
vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part W 100 L 4 W(200)
so you do not recognize that it is yours.
W 100 L 4 W(200)
along with you. God asks that you be happy, so the W 100 L 5 W(201)
been wrong in your belief that sacrifice is asked. You but W 100 L 7 W(201)
let us try to find that joy which proves to us W 100 L 7 W(201)
us. It is your function that you find it here, and W 100 L 7 W(201)
you find it here, and that you find it now. For W 100 L 7 W(201)
this one be the day that you succeed! W 100 W 100 L 7 W(201)
place of Him who waits that you may look on Him W 100 L 8 W(201)
it so while you believe that sin is real, and that W 101 L 1 W(203)
that sin is real, and that Gods Son can sin W 101 L 1 W(203)
is not real, and all that you believe must come from W 101 L 5 W(203)
which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil W 101 L 5 W(203)
turn to It in confidence that It will set you free W 101 L 7 W(204)
yourself with the insane belief that sin is real. W W 101 L 7 W(204)
may still believe a little that it buys you what you W 102 L 1 W(205)
yet, but lacks the roots that once secured it tightly to W 102 L 1 W(205)
still further and to realize that pain is purposeless, without a W 102 L 2 W(205)
it is your choice, and that you share Gods Will W 102 L 4 W(205)
frequently today to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness W 102 L 5 W(206)
one function. And be sure that you are joining with God W 102 L 5 W(206)
Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there W 103 L 1 W(207)
which corrects the false belief that God is fear. It also W 103 L 2 W(207)
idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not W 104 L 1 W(208)
lay aside, and seek instead that which is truly ours, as W 104 L 4 W(208)
come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in W 104 L 4 W(208)
Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already W 104 L 5 W(209)
Will is done already, and that joy and peace belong to W 104 L 5 W(209)
no loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another W 105 L 1 W(210)
itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in W 105 L 4 W(210)
terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less W 105 L 4 W(210)
adding more, for that implies that it was less before. It W 105 L 4 W(210)
defines completion. You will understand that what completes Him must completeW 105 L 5 W(211)
and joy I offer you, That I may have Gods W 105 L 6 W(211)
mind be free of all that would prevent success today. Now W 105 L 7 W(211)
let His Voice assure you that the words you speak are W 105 L 8 W(211)
today, but do not think that less is worthless when you W 105 L 9 W(211)
and joy I offer you, That I may have Gods W 105 L 9 W(212)
gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you W 106 L 1 W(213)
wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be W 106 L 6 W(214)
of all miracles has need that you receive them first, and W 106 L 7 W(214)
more who pause to ask that truth be given them, along W 106 L 9 W(214)
would be like to have that moment be extended to the W 107 L 2 W(216)
let the sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a W 107 L 2 W(216)
appearance now and then in that, evading capture and escaping grasp W 107 L 6 W(217)
obvious accessibility. It is impossible that anyone could seek it truly W 107 L 6 W(217)
for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as W 107 L 7 W(217)
enter into all the exercises that we do this day. W 107 L 7 W(217)
with you upon this undertaking that He be in your awareness W 107 L 8 W(217)
to you your Father knows that you are both the same W 107 L 8 W(217)
peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the W 107 L 9 W(218)
the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry W 107 L 10 W(218)
which is wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the W 108 L 1 W(219)
which has become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at W 108 L 2 W(219)
share it and be glad that they are one with you W 108 L 3 W(219)
place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the W 108 L 4 W(219)
understood that both occur together, that the Thought remains complete. AndW 108 L 4 W(219)
suffice for all correction, or that to forgive one brother wholly W 108 L 5 W(219)
L 6. To learn that giving and receiving are the W 108 L 6 W(220)
Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision given us W 108 L 7 W(220)
And we have the thought that will answer our asking with W 109 L 1 W(222)
vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and W 109 L 2 W(222)
and respite reassure your mind that all its frantic fantasies were W 109 L 5 W(223)
but the dreams of fever that has passed away. Let it W 109 L 5 W(223)
fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take W 109 L 5 W(223)
L 6. Each hour that you take your rest today W 109 L 6 W(223)
you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the W 109 L 6 W(223)
of God into the world, that it might take its rest W 109 L 6 W(223)
With each five minutes that you rest today the world W 109 L 7 W(223)
lightened steps along the road that suddenly seems easy as they W 109 L 7 W(223)
the world, if you believed that it is true. Its truth W 110 L 1 W(225)
true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes W 110 L 1 W(225)
nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced W 110 L 1 W(225)
will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at W 110 L 2 W(225)
gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free W 110 L 5 W(225)
free. This is the truth that God has promised you. This W 110 L 5 W(225)
today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we W 110 L 9 W(226)
Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of W 110 L 9 W(226)
is the Word of God that sets you free. This is W 110 L 9 W(226)
free. This is the key that opens up the gate of W 110 L 9 W(226)
can. We understand, of course, that it may be impossible for W 110 R3 1 W(228)
time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to W 110 R3 2 W(228)
excessive efforts to be sure that you catch up in terms W 110 R3 2 W(228)
it chooses. Give it faith that it will use them wisely W 110 R3 6 W(229)
perfect trust; in perfect confidence that you would use them well W 110 R3 7 W(229)
them well; in perfect faith that you would understand their messages W 110 R3 7 W(229)
them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and W 110 R3 7 W(229)
will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews W 110 R3 12 W(230)
with learning gains so great that we begin again on solid W 110 R3 12 W(230)
He Gave me His plan that I might save the world W 114 L 2 W(235)
me. I would accept all that is mine in truth. W 117 L 2 W(237)
of truth itself Assure me that I am Gods perfect W 118 L 2 W(238)
will forgive all things today, that I May learn how to W 119 L 2 W(239)
it behold except the proof that all its sins are real W 121 L 3 W(241)
what it sees bears witness that its judgment is correct. It W 121 L 5 W(242)
must learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from W 121 L 7 W(242)
unforgiving mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the W 121 L 9 W(243)
will try to learn today that they are one through practicing W 121 L 9 W(243)
lesson to ourselves, and see that their escape included ours. W 121 L 9 W(243)
friend to you, for in that light his holiness shows you W 121 L 12 W(243)
will awaken from the dream that I Am mortal, fallible, and W 121 L 14 W(243)
sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you W 122 L 1 W(244)
Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness W 122 L 1 W(244)
cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a W 122 L 1 W(244)
of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can W 122 L 3 W(244)
answer other than the answer that will answer everything? Here is W 122 L 4 W(244)
God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here W 122 L 6 W(245)
salvation be received today, and that the intricacies of your dreams W 122 L 8 W(245)
today with hope and faith that this will be the day W 122 L 9 W(245)
now the way is short that yet we travel. We are W 122 L 10 W(245)
Him thanks today. Give thanks that He has not abandoned you W 123 L 2 W(248)
has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain W 123 L 2 W(248)
Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the W 123 L 3 W(248)
salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your W 123 L 3 W(248)
alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend W 123 L 5 W(248)
however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the W 123 L 5 W(249)
everything you gave His Son, that he might rise above the W 123 L 8 W(249)
way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with W 124 L 1 W(250)
denied to those who know that they are one with God W 124 L 6 W(251)
this awareness as we say that we are one with God W 124 L 7 W(251)
words we say as well that we are saved and healed W 124 L 7 W(251)
we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal W 124 L 7 W(251)
at one with Him, so that the world may share our W 124 L 7 W(251)
an hour to the thought that you are one with God W 124 L 8 W(251)
be less if you believe that nothing happened. You may not W 124 L 9 W(251)
diamond set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you W 124 L 9 W(251)
gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a W 124 L 11 W(252)
jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you W 124 L 11 W(252)
knows His Son, and wills that he remain as part of W 125 L 5 W(253)
dreams; regardless of his madness that his will is not his W 125 L 5 W(253)
is everything you are and that He is; the same as W 125 L 7 W(254)
1969 Lesson 126. All that I give is given to W 126 L 0 W(255)
idea. It seems to you that other people are apart from W 126 L 2 W(255)
your own. You further think that they can sin without affecting W 126 L 2 W(255)
unworthy merely to point out that you are better, on a W 126 L 3 W(255)
just, nor is it fair that you should suffer when it W 126 L 4 W(255)
attained, must heal the mind that gives, for giving is receiving W 126 L 7 W(256)
try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the W 126 L 8 W(256)
faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing in W 126 L 8 W(256)
priorities. It is the thought that will release your mind from W 126 L 9 W(257)
long, but tell yourself: All that I give is given to W 126 L 11 W(257)
Help I need to learn that this is true Is with W 126 L 11 W(257)
1. Perhaps you think that different kinds of love are W 127 L 1 W(258)
for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one W 127 L 1 W(258)
obscure to anyone who thinks that love can change. He does W 127 L 2 W(258)
change. He does not see that changing love must be impossible W 127 L 2 W(258)
impossible. And thus he thinks that he can love at times W 127 L 2 W(258)
other times. He also thinks that love can be bestowed on W 127 L 2 W(258)
it must elude the mind that thinks of it as partial W 127 L 3 W(258)
perfectly apparent to the eyes that see and ears that hear W 127 L 5 W(259)
eyes that see and ears that hear its Voice. W W 127 L 5 W(259)
Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He W 127 L 8 W(259)
Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future W 127 L 9 W(260)
would learn The joyous lesson that there is no love But W 127 L 11 W(260)
world I see has nothing that I want. W 128 L 0 W(261)
world you see has nothing that you need to offer you W 128 L 1 W(261)
need to offer you; nothing that you can use in any W 128 L 1 W(261)
way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy W 128 L 1 W(261)
countless disappointments, and from hopes that turn to bitter ashes of W 128 L 1 W(261)
here is but a chain that binds you to the world W 128 L 2 W(261)
mind this world contains is that you pass it by, without W 128 L 2 W(261)
world you see has nothing that you want. W 128 W 128 L 2 W(261)
another bar across the door that leads to true awareness of W 128 L 3 W(261)
world I see has nothing that I want.

W 128 L 8 W(262)
worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to W 129 L 1 W(263)
you this world can offer that to you? W 129 W 129 L 1 W(263)
and takes away all things that you have cherished for a W 129 L 2 W(263)
want. Here is the world that comes to take its place W 129 L 5 W(264)
nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really want, but what W 129 L 6 W(264)
want. I choose to see that world instead of this, For W 129 L 7 W(264)
this, For here is nothing that I really want. Then close W 129 L 7 W(264)
silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this world W 129 L 7 W(264)
This day we realize that what you feared to lose W 129 L 9 W(264)
last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember W 129 L 9 W(265)
world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world W 129 L 9 W(265)
for this its weapon is; that which you fear to see W 130 L 2 W(266)
can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed W 130 L 3 W(266)
born? What would you want that this is shown to you W 130 L 3 W(266)
more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds W 130 L 6 W(267)
two worlds. It also teaches that the one you see is W 130 L 6 W(267)
no value in this world, that I May find my freedom W 130 L 8 W(267)
not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever W 130 L 9 W(267)
take the place of everything that hell would show to you W 130 L 11 W(268)
And what could they achieve that offers any hope of being W 131 L 2 W(269)
free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and W 131 L 3 W(269)
L 4. Be glad that search you must. Be glad W 131 L 4 W(269)
delay, deceive himself, and think that it is hell he seeks W 131 L 4 W(269)
hell opposing Heaven, and believes that he abides in what does W 131 L 9 W(270)
to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true W 131 L 10 W(271)
L 12. Seek for that door and find it. But W 131 L 12 W(271)
Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes and you W 131 L 13 W(271)
light so bright and clear that you can understand all things W 131 L 13 W(271)
the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might approach this door W 131 L 14 W(272)
it to the light. Today that day has come. Today God W 131 L 14 W(272)
L 15. Remember often that today should be a time W 131 L 15 W(272)
I seek and find all that I want. My single purpose W 131 L 15 W(272)
source is raised to question that the hope of freedom comes W 132 L 1 W(273)
today. It is not pride that tells you that you made W 132 L 5 W(274)
not pride that tells you that you made the world you W 132 L 5 W(274)
the world you see, and that it changes as you change W 132 L 5 W(274)
mind. But it is pride that argues you have come into W 132 L 5 W(274)
Others find it in experience that is not of this world W 132 L 7 W(274)
this world, which shows them that the world does not exist W 132 L 7 W(274)
course, and in the exercises that we do today. W W 132 L 7 W(274)
merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these appearances. The W 132 L 8 W(274)
can suffer, and no time that can bring change to your W 132 L 9 W(275)
except another way of saying that to know your Self is W 132 L 10 W(275)
and must set it free, that you may know the Thoughts W 132 L 11 W(275)
every one of our illusions, that we may be free. W 132 L 14 W(276)
in quietness be changed so that the world is freed along W 132 L 15 W(276)
You need not realize that healing comes to many brothers W 132 L 16 W(276)
not fully understand as yet that you could never be released W 132 L 16 W(276)
take from you the little that you have. It does not W 133 L 2 W(277)
kindly and related law is that there is no compromise in W 133 L 5 W(278)
if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what W 133 L 6 W(278)
never take away a value that is real. What fades and W 133 L 6 W(278)
been deceived by the belief that loss can offer gain. Yet W 133 L 7 W(278)
from tarnish and from rust, that you may see how innocent W 133 L 8 W(278)
is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to W 133 L 9 W(278)
to gain. He will believe that he has served the ego W 133 L 9 W(278)
it is error to believe that sins are but mistakes, for W 133 L 10 W(279)
hides the very simple fact that no decision can be difficult W 133 L 12 W(279)
do I seek, For only that do I desire to find W 133 L 14 W(279)
you can accept the fact that pardon is not asked for W 134 L 2 W(281)
3. The major difficulty that you find in genuine forgiveness W 134 L 3 W(281)
forgiveness on your part is that you still believe you must W 134 L 3 W(281)
viewpoint but reflects the hold that the idea of sin retains W 134 L 3 W(281)
merely is a further sign that sin is unforgivable, at best W 134 L 5 W(282)
Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the W 134 L 7 W(282)
honesty, which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions W 134 L 8 W(282)
It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in W 134 L 8 W(282)
in welcome. When you feel that you are tempted to accuse W 134 L 9 W(282)
the world you see and that which lies beyond, between the W 134 L 10 W(283)
And now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied W 134 L 11 W(283)
Today we practice true forgiveness that the time of joining be W 134 L 14 W(283)
W 134 L 15. That this may be accomplished, let W 134 L 15 W(284)
one of them, but realize that you are using his offenses W 134 L 16 W(284)
he thought he was attacked, that the attack is real, and W 135 L 1 W(285)
the attack is real, and that his own defense can save W 135 L 1 W(285)
an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has W 135 L 2 W(285)
defend. It must be something that is very weak and easily W 135 L 5 W(285)
the body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep W 135 L 5 W(285)
it is not the body that can fear, nor be a W 135 L 6 W(286)
the body all the functions that you see in it, and W 135 L 7 W(286)
would make defense of something that he recognized as this? W 135 L 7 W(286)
L 9. The self that needs protection is not real W 135 L 9 W(286)
the body all the pain that comes from the conception of W 135 L 10 W(286)
receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It W 135 L 12 W(287)
It is secure in certainty that obstacles can not impede its W 135 L 12 W(287)
is relieved from the belief that it must plan, although it W 135 L 13 W(287)
how to recognize the problem that the plan is made to W 135 L 13 W(287)
flawlessly, and with the strength that has been given it and W 135 L 14 W(287)
perhaps, not easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses W 135 L 15 W(288)
happenings. It does not think that it will be provided for W 135 L 16 W(288)
L 17. The mind that plans is thus refusing to W 135 L 17 W(288)
And it does not see that here and now is everything W 135 L 17 W(288)
reality which is the threat that your defenses would attack, obscure W 135 L 18 W(288)
accept, if you but knew that everything which happens, all events W 135 L 19 W(289)
meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal W 135 L 20 W(289)
22. We will anticipate that time today with present confidence W 135 L 22 W(289)
us. We will be sure that everything we need is given W 135 L 22 W(289)
will be done, but realize that our defenselessness is all that W 135 L 22 W(289)
that our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth W 135 L 22 W(289)
will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of W 135 L 23 W(289)
L 24. Nothing but that. If there are plans to W 135 L 24 W(290)
wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from W 135 L 25 W(290)
asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice W 135 L 25 W(290)
conceive of all the happiness that comes to you without your W 135 L 27 W(290)
choose to use them. In that second, even less, in which W 136 L 3 W(291)
and then proceed to think that it is done. W W 136 L 3 W(291)
defenses to reduce the threat that has been judged as real W 136 L 4 W(291)
But afterwards your plan requires that you must forget you made W 136 L 4 W(291)
remembering is but the sign that this decision still remains in W 136 L 5 W(292)
And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your W 136 L 6 W(292)
It is not a thing that happens to you quite unsought W 136 L 7 W(292)
fall. Now are you sick, that truth may go away, and W 136 L 7 W(292)
more. How do you think that sickness can succeed in shielding W 136 L 7 W(292)
and the strange, haunting thought that you might be something beyond W 136 L 8 W(292)
own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails before such mad W 136 L 10 W(293)
it knows with perfect certainty that what God wills for you W 136 L 12 W(293)
is this fact which demonstrates that time is an illusion. For W 136 L 13 W(293)
it comes to any mind that would lay down its arms W 136 L 14 W(294)
of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the W 136 L 16 W(294)
Perhaps you do not realize that this removes the limits you W 136 L 18 W(294)
joining. It becomes a door that closes on a separate self W 137 L 1 W(296)
The world obeys the laws that sickness serves, but healing operates W 137 L 2 W(296)
3. It is impossible that anyone be healed alone. In W 137 L 3 W(296)
s Son. Sickness would prove that lies must be the truth W 137 L 3 W(296)
the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true. W W 137 L 3 W(296)
to illusions must be shown that what they look upon is W 137 L 4 W(296)
by the truth, must demonstrate that sickness is not real. W 137 L 4 W(296)
as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing butW 137 L 5 W(297)
accomplished, healing but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just asW 137 L 5 W(297)
is freedom, for it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against W 137 L 8 W(297)
by this attribute it proves that laws unlike the ones which W 137 L 8 W(297)
unlike the ones which hold that sickness is inevitable are more W 137 L 8 W(297)
in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain. W 137 L 9 W(298)
cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy our W 137 L 12 W(298)
truth will occupy our minds; that thoughts of healing will this W 137 L 12 W(298)
must yet be healed, aware that they will both occur as W 137 L 12 W(298)
let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to W 137 L 13 W(299)
my healing with the world, That sickness may be banished from W 137 L 14 W(299)
of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we W 137 L 15 W(299)
together to make well all that was sick, and offer blessing W 137 L 15 W(299)
to choose between. We think that all things have an opposite W 138 L 1 W(300)
You need to be reminded that you think a thousand choices W 138 L 4 W(300)
yourself with all the doubts that myriad decisions would induce. You W 138 L 4 W(300)
make but one. And when that one is made, you will W 138 L 4 W(300)
begin today considering the choice that time was made to help W 138 L 7 W(301)
the intent you gave it; that it be a means for W 138 L 7 W(301)
terror and anxiety so strong that it will not relinquish its W 138 L 8 W(301)
accurately seen and understood. All that is veiled in shadows must W 138 L 9 W(302)
spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one W 138 L 11 W(302)
have made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we W 138 L 11 W(302)
tonight we reaffirm the choice that we have made each hour W 138 L 12 W(303)
are? There is no doubt that is not rooted here. There W 139 L 1 W(304)
one. There is no conflict that does not entail the single W 139 L 1 W(304)
be sincere. The only thing that can be surely known by W 139 L 2 W(304)
know yourself is to believe that you are really dead. For W 139 L 3 W(304)
4. He merely states that he is not himself and W 139 L 4 W(304)
becomes a questioner of what that something is. Yet he could W 139 L 4 W(304)
its worth; and has decided that he does not know the W 139 L 4 W(304)
It is for this denial that you need Atonement. Your denial W 139 L 5 W(305)
be a part of you that asks this question, for it W 139 L 5 W(305)
Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt W 139 L 6 W(305)
madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is W 139 L 6 W(305)
beyond all doubt and question that to ask what it must W 139 L 7 W(305)
proof you need to show that you believe the contradiction that W 139 L 7 W(305)
that you believe the contradiction that you know not what you W 139 L 7 W(305)
us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more W 139 L 8 W(305)
yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may know that they W 139 L 9 W(306)
them that they may know that they are part of you W 139 L 9 W(306)
God. It is but this that we are asked to do W 139 L 10 W(306)
do. It is but this that we will do today. Five W 139 L 10 W(306)
have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when W 139 L 11 W(306)
He merely had a dream that he was sick, and in W 140 L 2 W(307)
has not seen the light that would awaken him and end W 140 L 2 W(307)
another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream W 140 L 3 W(307)
sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. And thus W 140 L 3 W(307)
For the mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but W 140 L 4 W(307)
not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It W 140 L 4 W(307)
It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And W 140 L 4 W(307)
makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness W 140 L 4 W(307)
abide. This is the thought that cures. It does not make W 140 L 6 W(308)
its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form W 140 L 6 W(308)
what it is, and knows that no illusion can be real W 140 L 6 W(308)
to what is sick so that it can be cured. There W 140 L 7 W(308)
no remedy the world provides that can effect a change in W 140 L 7 W(308)
change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the truth W 140 L 7 W(308)
reality, no core, and nothing that is truly different? W W 140 L 7 W(308)
extent to which we realize that there can never be a W 140 L 9 W(309)
no degrees, and no beliefs that what does not exist is W 140 L 9 W(309)
cure. Speak to us, Father, that we may be healed. And W 140 L 12 W(309)
and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our W 140 L 12 W(309)
nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will W 140 L 12 W(309)
There is a central theme that unifies each step in the W 140 R4 2 W(311)
minds to understand the lessons that we read, and see the W 140 R4 4 W(311)
each idea you will review that day can offer you in W 140 R4 5 W(312)
clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this W 140 R4 5 W(312)
the thoughts you will receive that day. They will not come W 140 R4 5 W(312)
to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes W 140 R4 6 W(312)
His Voice. Let each idea that you review that day give W 140 R4 6 W(312)
each idea that you review that day give you the gift W 140 R4 6 W(312)
We need no more than that to give us happiness and W 140 R4 8 W(312)
and all our Father wills that we receive as the inheritance W 140 R4 8 W(312)
began, repeating first the Thought that made the day a special W 140 R4 9 W(313)
L 2. 126) All that I give is given to W 143 L 2 W(314)
world I see has nothing that I want. Lesson 145 W 144 L 2 W(314)
can judge on partial evidence. That is not judgment. It is W 151 L 1 W(316)
since your senses do deceive. That you believe them to the W 151 L 2 W(316)
judgment rests upon the witness that your senses offer you. Yet W 151 L 3 W(316)
is yourself. And you believe that this is so with stubborn W 151 L 5 W(317)
underneath remains the hidden doubt that what it shows you as W 151 L 5 W(317)
believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is within W 151 L 5 W(317)
He will not tell you that your brother should be judged W 151 L 7 W(317)
rests on Certainty so great that doubt is meaningless before Its W 151 L 8 W(317)
hear? What could convince Him that your sins are real? Let W 151 L 10 W(318)
Judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you W 151 L 10 W(318)
He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain W 151 L 11 W(318)
You will no longer doubt that only good can come to W 151 L 11 W(318)
select the elements in them that represent the truth, and disregard W 151 L 12 W(318)
Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the W 151 L 14 W(319)
unified into a perfect Thought that offers Its perfection everywhere. W 151 L 15 W(319)
the world the joyous news that truth has no illusions, and W 151 L 18 W(320)
unless these are the outcomes that he wants, and no-one dies W 152 L 1 W(321)
wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your W 152 L 1 W(321)
2. You may believe that this position is extreme, and W 152 L 2 W(321)
entirely. Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and W 152 L 3 W(321)
states by definition false. And that includes all shifts in feeling W 152 L 5 W(322)
Is it not strange that you believe to think you W 152 L 6 W(322)
which lives within a body that must die? You but accuse W 152 L 6 W(322)
L 7. To think that God made chaos, contradicts His W 152 L 7 W(322)
awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as W 152 L 8 W(322)
aside the arrogance which says that we are sinners, guilty and W 152 L 9 W(323)
And we accept of Him that which we are, and humbly W 152 L 10 W(323)
s Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid W 152 L 10 W(323)
we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only W 152 L 11 W(323)
we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us W 152 L 11 W(323)
bound it, and another in that one, until escape no longer W 153 L 3 W(324)
in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but W 153 L 4 W(324)
of which you can conceive that you have no idea of W 153 L 4 W(324)
will recall the course maintains that choice is always made between W 153 L 6 W(325)
past dreams today, and recognize that we need no defense because W 153 L 9 W(325)
Gods ministers have chosen that the truth be with them W 153 L 10 W(326)
they? Who could be surer that his happiness is fully guaranteed W 153 L 10 W(326)
imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has come to you W 153 L 11 W(326)
thought of as a game that happy children play. It was W 153 L 12 W(326)
joyous games, which teach them that the game of fear is W 153 L 12 W(326)
You who have played that you are lost to hope W 153 L 13 W(326)
and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a W 153 L 13 W(326)
chapter closer to the world, that everyone may learn the tale W 153 L 14 W(327)
smile at last, on learning that it is not true. W 153 L 14 W(327)
our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too W 153 L 15 W(327)
less, will be the most that we can offer as the W 153 L 16 W(327)
have us do the hour that is yet to come; while W 153 L 17 W(327)
defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor W 153 L 18 W(328)
weakness disappear, as we remember that His strength abides in us W 153 L 19 W(328)
us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through W 153 L 19 W(328)
There can be no doubt that you will reach your final W 153 L 20 W(328)
love and strength and peace that shine from them to all W 153 L 20 W(328)
Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last W 154 L 3 W(329)
One Voice in you. And that One Voice appoints your function W 154 L 3 W(329)
succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God W 154 L 3 W(329)
of Father and of Son, that sets apart salvation from the W 154 L 4 W(329)
in Which its will and That of God are joined. W 154 L 4 W(329)
who will receive the message that he brings. It is enough W 154 L 5 W(330)
he brings. It is enough that he accept it, bring it W 154 L 5 W(330)
can accept them for themselves that they become able to bring W 154 L 6 W(330)
and to give them everywhere that they were meant to be W 154 L 6 W(330)
away. They choose no roles that are not given them by W 154 L 7 W(330)
so you do not know that they are yours, and do W 154 L 8 W(330)
God receive His messages, for that is part of your appointed W 154 L 9 W(331)
It is this joining that we undertake to recognize today W 154 L 10 W(331)
Him what He would have, that we may recognize His gifts W 154 L 11 W(331)
us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us W 154 L 11 W(331)
bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery W 154 L 11 W(331)
will united with His Own, that we may be the true W 154 L 11 W(331)
more, but will not know that God Himself has left no W 154 L 12 W(331)
God, And I am grateful that I have the means By W 154 L 13 W(332)
means By which to recognize that I am free. The world W 154 L 13 W(332)
is. For as we prove that we accept no will we W 154 L 13 W(332)
of living in the world that is not here, although it W 155 L 1 W(333)
recognize you also, and believe that you are like them as W 155 L 1 W(333)
truth, because they have denied that it is so. And so W 155 L 3 W(333)
asked the sacrifice of something that is real. Many have chosen W 155 L 4 W(333)
appears to cling to you, that you may reach them. Yet W 155 L 6 W(334)
and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of W 155 L 6 W(334)
way you call to them that they may follow you. W 155 L 6 W(334)
and nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and W 155 L 8 W(334)
you. And you may find that you are tempted still to W 155 L 9 W(334)
It goes before you now, that they may see something with W 155 L 9 W(334)
door on all the things that pass and miracles are purposeless W 155 L 11 W(335)
we progress along the way that truth points out to us W 155 L 11 W(335)
walk to God. The truth that walks before us now is W 155 L 12 W(335)
God. Look not to ways that seem to lead you elsewhere W 155 L 13 W(335)
your brothers in His Trust that you are worthy of His W 155 L 13 W(335)
And now He asks but that you think of Him a W 155 L 14 W(336)
Him a while each day, that He may speak to you W 155 L 14 W(336)
not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum W 156 L 2 W(337)
is. There is One life. That Life you share with Him W 156 L 2 W(337)
His remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is holy W 156 L 3 W(337)
Whose Presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because W 156 L 4 W(337)
because of you. All things that live bring gifts to you W 156 L 4 W(337)
before you on the ground, that you may walk in softness W 156 L 4 W(337)
for the senseless ancient dream that now is past. W W 156 L 7 W(338)
sheds a light on all that we have learned already, and W 157 L 2 W(339)
genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to W 157 L 5 W(340)
will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for W 157 L 5 W(340)
which we can offer everyone, that he may come the sooner W 157 L 6 W(340)
remembrance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know W 157 L 9 W(340)
been given you? The knowledge that you are a mind, in W 158 L 1 W(341)
every living thing, for by that knowledge only does it live W 158 L 1 W(341)
knowledge which you give, for that is what creation gave. All W 158 L 2 W(341)
shared directly in the way that vision can. The revelation that W 158 L 2 W(341)
that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son W 158 L 2 W(341)
to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind W 158 L 2 W(341)
no step along the road that anyone but takes by chance W 158 L 3 W(341)
We but undertake a journey that is over. Yet it seems W 158 L 3 W(341)
It requires but the recognition that the world can not give W 158 L 8 W(342)
world can not give anything that faintly can compare with this W 158 L 8 W(342)
of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you W 158 L 8 W(342)
not when revelation comes, for that is not of time. Yet W 158 L 11 W(343)
also separate. The world believes that to possess a thing it W 159 L 1 W(344)
received. It is the proof that what you have is yours W 159 L 1 W(344)
L 2. You understand that you are healed when you W 159 L 2 W(344)
and thus do you perceive that you are whole. There is W 159 L 2 W(344)
world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can W 159 L 3 W(344)
able to obscure the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has W 159 L 5 W(345)
with perfect certainty for everything that can contribute to your happinessW 159 L 6 W(345)
Take from His storehouse, that its treasures may increase. His W 159 L 9 W(346)
part of you which thinks that it is real but different W 160 L 1 W(347)
could the reason be except that you had asked this stranger W 160 L 3 W(347)
Is it fear or you that is unsuited to the home W 160 L 4 W(347)
His likeness? Is it fear that love completes and is completed W 160 L 4 W(347)
of all things but this; that he is not himself, and W 160 L 5 W(348)
he is not himself, and that his home has been denied W 160 L 5 W(348)
him out, and show him that he is no stranger now W 160 L 6 W(348)
assure you, quietly and sure, that you are not a stranger W 160 L 8 W(348)
Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search W 160 L 9 W(348)
to give you to remember, that your home may be complete W 160 L 10 W(349)
a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and W 161 L 1 W(350)
them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them for W 161 L 3 W(350)
understood nor understandable. The mind that taught itself to think specificallyW 161 L 4 W(350)
grasp abstraction in the sense that it is all-encompassing. We need W 161 L 4 W(350)
need to see a little that we learn a lot. W 161 L 4 W(350)
so holy and so beautiful that you could scarce refrain from W 161 L 9 W(351)
for you will not perceive that in his hands is your W 161 L 9 W(352)
your fear. Would you request that love destroy itself? Or would W 161 L 9 W(352)
clearly as you can, in that same form to which you W 161 L 11 W(352)
head. Ask this of him that he may set you free W 161 L 11 W(352)
flesh and bone, and recognize that Christ has come to you W 161 L 12 W(352)
of sin and no illusion that the dream contains that will W 162 L 2 W(354)
illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away before W 162 L 2 W(354)
are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the world. The W 162 L 2 W(354)
So wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury W 162 L 4 W(354)
the ground, they whisper fearfully that it is so. W W 163 L 5 W(357)
of God is so preposterous that even the insane have difficulty W 163 L 7 W(357)
believing it. For it implies that God was once alive and W 163 L 7 W(357)
be fearful? If they saw that it is only this which W 163 L 8 W(357)
all things you sought before, that you will know that here W 164 L 4 W(359)
before, that you will know that here your treasure is, and W 164 L 4 W(359)
blindness and from misery. All that we see will but increase W 164 L 7 W(360)
You need not be sure that you request the only thing W 165 L 5 W(363)
vision? For this sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness W 165 L 5 W(363)
without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happinessW 166 L 1 W(364)
Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the W 166 L 2 W(364)
strange beliefs. He must believe that to accept Gods gifts W 166 L 3 W(364)
the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the W 166 L 4 W(364)
afraid. He does not realize that it is here he is W 166 L 4 W(364)
a treasure his so great that everything the world contains is W 166 L 5 W(364)
threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a little from the W 166 L 6 W(365)
really tragic when you see that he is following the way W 166 L 6 W(365)
your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You W 166 L 9 W(365)
which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who W 166 L 10 W(366)
is answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has W 166 L 11 W(366)
replaced by vision which perceives that you are not what you W 166 L 11 W(366)
give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He W 166 L 12 W(366)
you of all the gifts that God has given you. He W 166 L 12 W(366)
by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel W 166 L 13 W(366)
of mind becomes the proof that who accepts Gods gifts W 166 L 14 W(367)
There is one life, and that I share with God. W 167 L 0 W(368)
one condition in which all that God created share. Like all W 167 L 1 W(368)
appears to be a state that is lifes opposite. You W 167 L 2 W(368)
death. Yet we have learned that the idea of death takes W 167 L 2 W(368)
idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. It W 167 L 2 W(368)
give response of any kind that is not perfect joy. All W 167 L 2 W(368)
L 3. You think that death is of the body W 167 L 3 W(368)
this course has placed on that idea is due to its W 167 L 3 W(368)
Death is the thought that you are separate from your W 167 L 4 W(368)
source. They can extend all that their source contains. In that W 167 L 5 W(369)
that their source contains. In that they can go far beyond W 167 L 5 W(369)
can think it sleeps, but that is all. It cannot change W 167 L 6 W(369)
For mind creates all things that are, and cannot give them W 167 L 6 W(369)
there is one life, and that we share with Him; with W 167 L 11 W(370)
the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self W 167 L 12 W(370)
grace you see a light that covers all the world in W 168 L 4 W(371)
as theirs. What now remains that Heaven be delayed an instant W 168 L 4 W(371)
to everything the world contains that those whose minds are lighted W 169 L 2 W(373)
we prepare for grace in that an open mind can hear W 169 L 3 W(373)
Voice. It has become aware that there are things it does W 169 L 3 W(373)
appeared to contradict our statement that the revelation of the Father W 169 L 4 W(373)
said the mind determines when that time will be, and has W 169 L 4 W(373)
cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. There W 169 L 5 W(374)
mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of W 169 L 5 W(374)
every mind when total recognition that its will is Gods W 169 L 6 W(374)
the experiences which bear witness that the time the mind itself W 169 L 7 W(374)
do not hasten it, in that what you will offer was W 169 L 7 W(374)
and complete. He recognized all that time holds and gave it W 169 L 8 W(374)
gave it to all minds, that each one might determine, from W 169 L 8 W(374)
have repeated several times before that you but make a journey W 169 L 8 W(374)
you but make a journey that is done. W 169 W 169 L 8 W(374)
11. Suffice it, then, that you have work to do W 169 L 11 W(375)
little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet W 169 L 11 W(375)
gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in W 169 L 12 W(375)
interval suffices. It is here that miracles are laid; to be W 169 L 12 W(375)
all who see the light that lingers on your face. W 169 L 12 W(375)
for grace and for experience that comes from grace. We welcome W 169 L 14 W(376)
can give in the grace that has been given us. W 169 L 14 W(376)
no exception. When you think that you attack in self-defense, you W 170 L 1 W(377)
attack in self-defense, you mean that to be cruel is protection W 170 L 1 W(377)
because of cruelty. You mean that you believe to hurt another W 170 L 1 W(377)
you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange W 170 L 1 W(377)
thoroughly insane is the idea that to defend from fear is W 170 L 2 W(377)
to be the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense W 170 L 3 W(377)
a god, and gods demand that those who worship them obey W 170 L 6 W(378)
god dispassionately. And we note that though his lips are smeared W 170 L 7 W(378)
Yet do not think that fear is the escape from W 170 L 9 W(378)
before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with W 170 L 11 W(379)
eyes, but in the vision that your choice restored to you W 170 L 11 W(379)
would take this step completely, that we may go on again W 170 R5 1 W(381)
Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his W 170 R5 2 W(381)
back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly W 170 R5 3 W(381)
as we review the thoughts that You have given us. W 170 R5 3 W(381)
which should precede the thoughts that we review. Each one but W 170 R5 4 W(381)
And it is This that waits to meet us at W 170 R5 5 W(382)
if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and W 170 R5 5 W(382)
This is promised us, and that this course was sent to W 170 R5 5 W(382)
and fears a little while, that you may come to me W 170 R5 6 W(382)
For this alone I need; that you will hear the words W 170 R5 9 W(383)
And we remind the world that it is free of all W 170 R5 10 W(383)
greet another day. No thought that we review but we surround W 170 R5 11 W(383)
place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the W 170 R5 12 W(384)
for the experience, and recognize that it is only here conviction W 170 R5 12 W(384)
of meaning. It is here that we find rest.
W 170 R5 12 W(384)
There is one life, and that I share with God. God W 179 L 1 W(386)
this which makes it sure that you will give your total W 180 IN2 3 W(387)
of freedom and of peace that comes as you give up W 180 IN2 4 W(387)
motivation will be so intensified that words become of little consequence W 180 IN2 4 W(387)
attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what W 181 L 1 W(388)
your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes W 181 L 1 W(388)
and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness W 181 L 2 W(388)
sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond. W 181 W 181 L 2 W(388)
apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we seek W 181 L 3 W(388)
the depressing and restricting thought that, even if you should succeed W 181 L 4 W(389)
L 6. We recognize that we have lost this goal W 181 L 6 W(389)
say: It is not this that I would look upon. I W 181 L 6 W(389)
our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our W 181 L 9 W(390)
you from every worldly thought that would intrude upon your holiness W 182 L 2 W(391)
only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only W 182 L 6 W(392)
the only Name of everything that we desire to see; of W 182 L 6 W(392)
desire to see; of everything that we would call our own W 182 L 6 W(392)
thus. He cannot hear requests that He be not Himself, or W 182 L 7 W(392)
He be not Himself, or that His Son receive another name W 182 L 7 W(392)
Reality. And you acknowledge also that His Son is part of W 182 L 7 W(392)
gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is One Name for W 182 L 8 W(392)
all there is, and all that there will be.
W 182 L 8 W(392)
in your mind you know that this is true. A memory W 183 L 1 W(394)
all unknown. Nothing so definite that you could say with certainty W 183 L 1 W(394)
from them. Others will deny that they are sad, and do W 183 L 2 W(394)
all. Still others will maintain that what we speak of is W 183 L 2 W(394)
it is your childhood home that you would find again. The W 183 L 4 W(394)
a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a picture W 183 L 4 W(394)
a picture of a past that never happened. Yet there is W 183 L 4 W(394)
Fathers house, and knows that He is alien here. This W 183 L 4 W(394)
is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever. Where this W 183 L 4 W(394)
ground. It is His holiness that lights up Heaven, and that W 183 L 4 W(394)
that lights up Heaven, and that brings to earth the pure W 183 L 4 W(394)
breathe again the holy air that fills His Fathers house W 183 L 5 W(395)
be Himself, within the peace that is His home, resting in W 183 L 5 W(395)
home. He is so little that He seems so easily shut W 183 L 6 W(395)
world. Yet does He know that in you still abides His W 183 L 6 W(395)
bring you back with Him, that He Himself might stay, and W 183 L 7 W(395)
poignantly He calls to you that you will not resist Him W 183 L 8 W(395)
not resist Him longer. In that instant, He will take you W 183 L 8 W(395)
fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home. W 183 L 8 W(395)
to become a little Child that you might learn of Him W 183 L 9 W(396)
gives His strength to them that they may see He would W 183 L 9 W(396)
home. For he must learn that what he would protect is W 183 L 10 W(396)
and yet He asks unceasingly that you return with Him, and W 183 L 11 W(396)
you. Thus do you think that you have given life in W 184 L 2 W(398)
everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts the W 184 L 6 W(399)
stand. They leave no doubt that what is named is there W 184 L 6 W(399)
as is anticipated. What denies that it is true is but W 184 L 6 W(399)
it is to his body that you make appeal. His true W 184 L 8 W(399)
Name becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and W 184 L 12 W(400)
Gods Son, we understand that they have but One Name W 184 L 14 W(401)
mistakes we give to you, that we may be absolved of W 184 L 15 W(401)
it is given him. For that is all he wants, and W 185 L 2 W(402)
is all he wants, and that is all he will receive W 185 L 2 W(402)
one intent become so strong that what they will becomes the W 185 L 3 W(402)
to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer nothing W 185 L 5 W(403)
The mind which means that all it wants is peace W 185 L 6 W(403)
join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained W 185 L 6 W(403)
him in such a way that he can not mistake it W 185 L 6 W(403)
devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words W 185 L 7 W(403)
another bargain in the hope that there must yet be one W 185 L 7 W(403)
you make. Be not deceived that it is otherwise. No compromise W 185 L 9 W(404)
it. For he merely asks that he deceive himself no longer W 185 L 11 W(404)
God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the W 185 L 12 W(404)
of every mind, the hope that lies beyond despair, the love W 185 L 14 W(405)
attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate has sought to sever W 185 L 14 W(405)
Here is the statement that will one day take all W 186 L 1 W(406)
function as your own but that which has been given you W 186 L 1 W(406)
will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do W 186 L 2 W(406)
not deny with self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. What is W 186 L 2 W(406)
meaning. All it says is that your Father still remembers you W 186 L 3 W(406)
Son. It does not ask that you be different in any W 186 L 3 W(406)
assignment on the specious grounds that modesty is outraged. It is W 186 L 3 W(406)
is outraged. It is pride that would deny the Call of W 186 L 3 W(406)
humility we lay aside today, that we may listen to God W 186 L 4 W(406)
We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our W 186 L 4 W(406)
are. It is but arrogance that judges otherwise.

W 186 L 4 W(406)
Gods Voice assures you that salvation needs your part, and W 186 L 5 W(407)
salvation needs your part, and that the whole depends on you W 186 L 5 W(407)
depends on you, be sure that it is so. The arrogant W 186 L 5 W(407)
makes an image of yourself that is not real. It is W 186 L 6 W(407)
Voice for God assures you that you have the strength, the W 186 L 6 W(407)
rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for W 186 L 8 W(407)
his mind like wind-swept leaves that form a patterning an instant W 186 L 9 W(408)
world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten times an W 186 L 10 W(408)
asks a thing of you that seems impossible, remember Who it W 186 L 12 W(408)
impossible, remember Who it is that asks and who would make W 186 L 12 W(408)
to be right? The Voice that speaks for the Creator of W 186 L 12 W(408)
Who remembers you and urges that you now remember Him. W 186 L 12 W(409)
to you although He knows that you have everything already. He W 186 L 13 W(409)
not this. No-one can doubt that you must first possess what W 187 L 1 W(410)
given, then the world asserts that you have lost what you W 187 L 1 W(410)
you possessed. The truth maintains that giving will increase what you W 187 L 1 W(410)
possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite W 187 L 2 W(410)
yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the thoughts W 187 L 2 W(410)
do not lack for proof that when you give ideas away W 187 L 2 W(410)
But you will not believe that this is done until you W 187 L 3 W(410)
meaning. Now you can perceive that by your giving is your W 187 L 3 W(410)
away, and you are sure that you will never lose them W 187 L 4 W(410)
behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.

W 187 L 4 W(410)
sacrifice remains the one idea that stands behind them all, and W 187 L 6 W(411)
rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And W 187 L 7 W(411)
is an idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once W 187 L 7 W(411)
L 8. Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is W 187 L 8 W(411)
occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen, and correction W 187 L 8 W(411)
L 9. The lilies that your brother offers you are W 187 L 9 W(412)
to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here W 187 L 9 W(412)
so easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is W 188 L 2 W(413)
or from a truer source, that is not but the shadow W 188 L 2 W(413)
and shadows. They remind you that you are the co-creator of W 188 L 7 W(414)
the co-creator of all things that live. For as the peace W 188 L 7 W(414)
We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. But W 188 L 8 W(414)
with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of God still W 188 L 9 W(415)
us to all living things that share our life. We will W 188 L 9 W(415)
have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of W 188 L 9 W(415)
things shine upon me in that peace, And let me bless W 188 L 9 W(415)
this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings your W 189 L 2 W(416)
of malice and of fear that one belies the other. Only W 189 L 3 W(416)
reflects the quietness and peace that shines in them; the gentleness W 189 L 4 W(416)
seeing: You will look upon that which you feel within. If W 189 L 5 W(417)
simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the W 189 L 8 W(417)
let Him be. For in that way is your reality acclaimed W 189 L 8 W(417)
us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow W 189 L 10 W(418)
follow. And we ask but that Your Will, Which is our W 189 L 10 W(418)
us and in the world, that it becomes a part of W 189 L 10 W(418)
fierce retaliation for a crime that could not be committed; for W 190 L 2 W(419)
and using pain to prove that God is dead, has shown W 190 L 3 W(419)
God is dead, has shown that death is victor over life W 190 L 3 W(419)
It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external W 190 L 5 W(420)
is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring W 190 L 5 W(420)
onslaught of the savage pain that waits to end all joy W 190 L 8 W(420)
the cruel sword of judgment that you hold against your throat W 190 L 9 W(421)
we make the only choice that ever can be made; we W 190 L 11 W(421)
What have you done that this should be your world W 191 L 2 W(422)
world? What have you done that this is what you see W 191 L 2 W(422)
yourself. There is no sight that fails to witness this to W 191 L 2 W(422)
you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty W 191 L 2 W(422)
without; no breath you draw that does not seem to bring W 191 L 2 W(422)
and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from W 191 L 5 W(423)
out the way to happiness that changed his whole perception of W 191 L 5 W(423)
thought you learn as well that you have freed the world W 191 L 6 W(423)
I fail to do All that salvation asks. And in that W 191 L 7 W(423)
that salvation asks. And in that thought is everything you look W 191 L 7 W(423)
and Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do. You play W 191 L 9 W(424)
Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not W 191 L 10 W(424)
your Fathers holy Will that you complete Himself and that W 192 L 1 W(425)
that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His W 192 L 1 W(425)
kind so close to waking that the light of day already W 192 L 3 W(425)
make mistakes. It cannot think that it will die, nor be W 192 L 5 W(426)
relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home W 192 L 5 W(426)
forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His holy W 192 L 5 W(426)
gone, you will indeed perceive that for Christs vision and W 192 L 6 W(426)
we need forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without its W 192 L 7 W(426)
Our understanding is so limited that what we think we understand W 192 L 7 W(426)
prisoner. He must be sure that he does not escape, and W 192 L 8 W(426)
it is on his freedom that the way to liberty depends W 192 L 8 W(426)
It is he who asks that you accept the way to W 192 L 10 W(427)
is only to forgive him, that you may accept him back W 192 L 10 W(427)
sins, and you will see that you are one with him W 192 L 10 W(427)
He does not understand, in that He wills the happiness His W 193 L 1 W(428)
provides the means to guarantee that it is done. W W 193 L 1 W(428)
sight, and give him vision that will lead him back to W 193 L 2 W(428)
4. Certain it is that all distress does not appear W 193 L 4 W(428)
to be but unforgiveness. Yet that is the content underneath the W 193 L 4 W(428)
the lesson is so simple that it cannot be rejected in W 193 L 4 W(428)
a truth so very obvious that it appears in countless forms W 193 L 4 W(428)
we are tempted to believe that pain is real, and death W 193 L 6 W(429)
s Teacher sets before you that all pain may disappear, and W 193 L 8 W(429)
fall. For God has willed that laughter

---
W 193 L 9 W(429)
should replace each one, and that His Son be free again W 193 L 9 W(430)
to look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is W 193 L 11 W(430)
happenings the hour brought, so that the next one is free W 193 L 12 W(430)
its shadow on the one that follows, and when that one W 193 L 12 W(430)
one that follows, and when that one goes let everything that W 193 L 12 W(430)
that one goes let everything that happened in its course go W 193 L 12 W(430)
way to look on everything that lets it be to you W 193 L 13 W(430)
431) To all that speaks of terror, answer thus W 193 L 13 W(431)
then you hold the key that opens Heavens gate, and W 193 L 13 W(431)
So great the distance is that it encompasses, it sets you W 194 L 1 W(432)
foot has reached the lawns that welcome you to Heavens W 194 L 1 W(432)
by loosening the heavy chains that locked the door to freedom W 194 L 2 W(432)
will see by your experience that you have laid the past W 194 L 4 W(432)
holy instant when the light that was kept hidden in God W 194 L 5 W(433)
so will the world perceive that it is saved. W W 194 L 6 W(433)
never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty W 194 L 7 W(433)
hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to W 194 L 9 W(434)
make the choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No W 194 L 9 W(434)
enemy, for we have chosen that we be its friends. W 194 L 9 W(434)
despair so bitter and relentless that there is no hope remaining W 195 L 3 W(435)
thanks to God our Father that in us all things will W 195 L 4 W(435)
freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while others W 195 L 4 W(435)
Father for one thing alone; that we are separate from no W 195 L 6 W(436)
with Him. And we rejoice that no exceptions ever can be W 195 L 6 W(436)
direct them to the peace that we would find, the way W 195 L 7 W(436)
gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right W 195 L 8 W(436)
yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but W 196 L 1 W(438)
free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves W 196 L 1 W(438)
appear to be a sign that punishment can never be escaped W 196 L 2 W(438)
you also teach your mind that you are not an ego W 196 L 3 W(438)
us take this step today that we may quickly go the W 196 L 4 W(438)
The dreary, hopeless thought that you can make attacks on W 196 L 5 W(439)
is real. And what is that but hell? Who could believe W 196 L 5 W(439)
no hope. Until you see that this, at least, must be W 196 L 6 W(439)
its foolishness, nor even see that it is there so that W 196 L 6 W(439)
that it is there so that it would be possible to W 196 L 6 W(439)
accomplished, you can not perceive that it is but your thoughts W 196 L 7 W(439)
you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by W 196 L 8 W(439)
You do not now believe that fear is caused without. And W 196 L 8 W(439)
grip your mind so wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When W 196 L 10 W(440)
realize, once and for all, that it is you you fear W 196 L 10 W(440)
and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon W 196 L 11 W(440)
is no Thought of God that does not go with you W 196 L 12 W(440)
you to help you reach that instant, and to go beyond W 196 L 12 W(440)
you of defenses to ensure that when He strikes He will W 197 L 1 W(441)
is all your gifts require, that they be a lasting offering W 197 L 3 W(441)
give, and you will think that what is given you has W 197 L 6 W(442)
for all the countless channels that extend this Self. All that W 197 L 8 W(442)
that extend this Self. All that you do is given unto W 197 L 8 W(442)
is given unto Him. All that you think can only be W 197 L 8 W(442)
given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to W 197 L 8 W(442)
injured. For you have believed that you can injure, and the W 197 L 1 W(443)
freed. Such is the law that rules perception. It is not W 197 L 2 W(443)
It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is W 197 L 2 W(443)
Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest W 197 L 2 W(443)
Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past W 197 L 4 W(443)
all blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon W 197 L 6 W(444)
instead. How foolish to believe that They could die! How foolish W 197 L 7 W(444)
attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned, and W 197 L 7 W(444)
you could be condemned, and that the holy Son of God W 197 L 7 W(444)
these words upon your mind, that you may find the key W 197 L 9 W(445)
free. Do not forget today that there can be no form W 197 L 9 W(445)
be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving W 197 L 9 W(445)
a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now is W 197 L 11 W(445)
alone remains upon it. Only That can be perceived an instant W 197 L 11 W(445)
Him Whose Son he is, that to behold the Son is W 197 L 12 W(445)
of the Son, so brief that not an instant stands between W 197 L 12 W(445)
to the end of everything that yet would stand between this W 197 L 13 W(446)
sight. And we are glad that we have come this far W 197 L 13 W(446)
come this far, and recognize that He Who brought us here W 197 L 13 W(446)
give to us the gift that God has given us through W 197 L 13 W(446)
L 2. The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is W 199 L 2 W(447)
your progress in this course that you accept todays idea W 199 L 3 W(447)
very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is W 199 L 3 W(447)
lives united with the home that it has made. It is W 199 L 3 W(447)
extended to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach, according to W 199 L 4 W(447)
take. There is no thought that will not gain thereby in W 199 L 5 W(448)
is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him W 199 L 6 W(448)
body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make W 199 L 7 W(448)
freedom, perfect joy, and hope that finds its full accomplishment in W 199 L 7 W(448)
free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, And W 199 L 8 W(448)
for eternal life in peace that has no ending. Ask for W 200 L 3 W(449)
already must succeed. To ask that what is false be true W 200 L 3 W(449)
with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through W 200 L 3 W(449)
was created. Is it here that he would seek for peace W 200 L 7 W(450)
peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it W 200 L 7 W(450)
the Son will hear. And that is all there is to W 200 L 9 W(451)
One is enough. But for that one, there must be no W 200 R6 2 W(452)
between, we have a function that transcends the world we see W 200 R6 3 W(452)
a deep relinquishment of everything that clutters up the mind, and W 200 R6 3 W(452)
eyes, and then forget all that we thought we knew and W 200 R6 4 W(452)
hasten to assure your mind that this is not what it W 200 R6 5 W(453)
One Creator of the Whole that is my Self, forever One W 201 L 1 W(454)
Gods Name reminds me that I am His Son, not W 204 L 1 W(454)
along with me. And in that stillness, we will find the W 208 L 1 W(455)
for His beloved Son. And that I choose instead of what W 210 L 1 W(456)
fill. I seek the function that would set me free from W 212 L 1 W(456)
place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn W 213 L 1 W(457)
but myself I crucify. All that I do I do unto W 216 L 1 W(457)
will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we W 220 IN2 3 W(459)
come. And we will use that thought to introduce our times W 220 IN2 4 W(459)
instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We W 220 IN2 4 W(459)
Him, and He has promised that His Son will not remain W 220 IN2 4 W(459)
take the step to us that He has told us, through W 220 IN2 5 W(460)
faithfulness earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us W 220 IN2 5 W(460)
say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, then we W 220 IN2 5 W(460)
unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will. W 220 IN2 6 W(460)
one we made, and take that world to be the full W 220 IN2 7 W(460)
forget us. And we know that You will not forget us W 220 IN2 8 W(460)
us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept W 220 IN2 8 W(460)
Whose holy Will created all that is, can fail in nothing W 220 IN2 8 W(460)
We had a wish that God would fail to have W 220 IN2 10 W(461)
of Him. And we believed that our insane desires were the W 220 IN2 10 W(461)
truth. Now we are glad that this is all undone, and W 220 IN2 10 W(461)
we will come to understand that we need only call to W 220 IN2 11 W(461)
one which makes a judgment that it will not raise to W 220 W1 2 W(462)
projection, tightening its chains, so that distortions are more veiled and W 220 W1 2 W(462)
fixed projection and the aim that it has chosen as its W 220 W1 2 W(462)
reality without concern for anything that would appear to pose a W 220 W1 3 W(462)
to twist it to appearance that it likes. It merely looks W 220 W1 4 W(462)
today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I W 221 L 1 W(463)
wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you W 221 L 2 W(463)
Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me W 223 L 1 W(465)
our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son W 223 L 2 W(465)
is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son. W 223 L 2 W(465)
beneficent and free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to W 224 L 1 W(466)
is no gift but This that can be either given or W 224 L 1 W(466)
2. Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is W 225 L 2 W(467)
it is but this oneness that we seek as we accomplish W 225 L 2 W(467)
steps which end a journey that was not begun.
W 225 L 2 W(467)
as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as W 226 L 1 W(468)
Father, it is today that I am free, because my W 227 L 1 W(469)
make another will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You W 227 L 1 W(469)
came. I have not left that Source to enter in a W 228 L 2 W(470)
waited for my coming home, that I will turn away no W 229 L 1 W(471)
merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He W 230 L 1 W(472)
gave. It is Your Will that gave it to Your Son W 230 L 2 W(472)
a promise, made by God, that you would find your way W 230 W2 1 W(473)
not be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end W 230 W2 1 W(473)
end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time W 230 W2 1 W(473)
given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and W 230 W2 1 W(473)
Gods Son the instant that his mind had thought of W 230 W2 2 W(473)
is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to W 230 W2 3 W(473)
call to all the world that freedom is returned, that time W 230 W2 5 W(473)
world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and W 230 W2 5 W(473)
For there is nothing else that I could ever really want W 231 L 1 W(474)
not forget my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me W 232 L 1 W(475)
all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will W 233 L 1 W(476)
We thank you, Father, that we cannot lose the memory W 234 L 2 W(477)
Which You have given us that we are saved.
W 234 L 2 W(477)
God in His mercy wills that I be saved. W 235 L 0 W(478)
but look upon all things that seem to hurt me, and W 235 L 1 W(478)
certainty assure myself, God wills that I be saved from this W 235 L 1 W(478)
is only happiness, to find that only happiness has come to W 235 L 1 W(478)
And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son W 235 L 1 W(478)
forever perfect, to be sure that I am saved and safe W 235 L 1 W(478)
world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my W 237 L 1 W(480)
And I behold the world that Christ would have me see W 237 L 1 W(480)
steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son W 238 L 1 W(481)
Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still W 238 L 1 W(481)
guilt? And can it be that we are not among them W 239 L 1 W(482)
you, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And W 239 L 2 W(482)
Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as W 240 L 1 W(483)
forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness W 240 L 2 W(483)
feel the love for him that is Your own as well W 240 L 2 W(483)
His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let W 240 W3 4 W(484)
through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die W 240 W3 5 W(484)
to us, and to remember that we all are one. W 241 L 2 W(485)
is One Who knows all that is best for me. And W 242 L 1 W(486)
for me but the ones that lead to God. This day W 242 L 1 W(486)
do not ask for anything that we may think we want W 242 L 2 W(486)
us everything we want and that will help us find the W 242 L 2 W(486)
Today I will judge nothing that occurs. W W 243 L 0 W(487)
today. I will not think that I already know what must W 243 L 1 W(487)
my perception, which are all that I can see. Today I W 243 L 1 W(487)
can see. Today I recognize that this is so. And so W 243 L 1 W(487)
Son, as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize W 245 L 1 W(489)
world we give the message that we have received. And thus W 245 L 2 W(489)
because we share the Word that He has given unto us W 245 L 2 W(489)
Let me not think that I can find the way W 246 L 1 W(490)
Gods Son and think that I can know his Father W 246 L 1 W(490)
recognize myself, and still believe that my awareness can contain my W 246 L 1 W(490)
You, my Father. For in that will I succeed, because it W 246 L 2 W(490)
Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what W 246 L 2 W(490)
will as well, and only that. And so I choose to W 246 L 2 W(490)
own. Now do I understand that they are one.
W 248 L 2 W(492)
now so like to Heaven, that it quickly is transformed into W 249 L 1 W(493)
Today I would see truly, that this day I may at W 250 L 2 W(494)
untrue. They are the proof that what has no reality is W 250 W4 3 W(495)
with but a little life that ends in death. But all W 250 W4 4 W(495)
seek but one, for in that one is all I need W 251 L 1 W(496)
only what I need. All that I sought before I needed W 251 L 1 W(496)
recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In W 251 L 1 W(496)
I need only truth. In that, all needs are satisfied, all W 251 L 1 W(496)
gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have W 251 L 1 W(496)
need. Now have I everything that I could want. And now W 251 L 1 W(496)
L 2. And for that peace, our Father, we give W 251 L 2 W(496)
You have restored, and only that is what we really want W 251 L 2 W(496)
brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon W 252 L 1 W(497)
me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the W 252 L 2 W(497)
truth in You, and know that Heaven is restored to me W 252 L 2 W(497)
1. It is impossible that anything should come to me W 253 L 1 W(498)
offer glad assent to Yours, that It may be extended to W 253 L 2 W(498)
does not seem to me that I can choose to have W 255 L 1 W(500)
yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself W 255 L 1 W(500)
remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts W 257 L 1 W(502)
salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no will W 257 L 2 W(502)
Lesson 258. Let me remember that my goal is God. W 258 L 0 W(503)
258 L 1. All that is needful is to train W 258 L 1 W(503)
senseless aims, and to remember that our goal is God. His W 258 L 1 W(503)
to follow in the way that leads to You. We have W 258 L 2 W(503)
Lesson 259. Let me remember that there is no sin. W 259 L 0 W(504)
Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God W 259 L 1 W(504)
are the Source of everything that is. And everything that is W 259 L 2 W(504)
everything that is. And everything that is remains with You and W 259 L 2 W(504)
within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love W 260 W5 1 W(506)
die, what proof is there that Gods eternal Son has W 260 W5 2 W(506)
by changing what we think that it is for. W W 260 W5 3 W(506)
serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill W 260 W5 4 W(506)
may be, you will believe that it is one with you W 260 W5 5 W(506)
Son. And it is he that I would look upon today W 262 L 1 W(508)
Father, Your Mind created all that is, Your Spirit entered into W 263 L 1 W(509)
appearances seem pure to us, that we may pass them by W 263 L 2 W(509)
I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In W 264 L 1 W(510)
but This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness W 264 L 1 W(510)
does not share Its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation W 264 L 1 W(510)
deceived was I to think that what I feared was in W 265 L 1 W(511)
as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and W 265 L 2 W(511)
me is all the life that God created in His Love W 267 L 1 W(513)
is there and only there that I can be at home W 267 L 2 W(513)
of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs W 269 L 1 W(515)
look upon belongs to me; that nothing is, except Your holy W 269 L 1 W(515)
has power to translate all that the bodys eyes behold W 270 L 1 W(516)
still abides within the Mind That is His Source. He has W 270 W6 1 W(517)
Christ is the link that keeps you one with God W 270 W6 2 W(517)
one with God, and guarantees that separation is no more than W 270 W6 2 W(517)
the only part of you that has reality in truth. The W 270 W6 3 W(517)
it is but the symbol that the time for learning now W 270 W6 5 W(517)
world from death. For nothing that He looks upon on but W 271 W6 1 W(518)
can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to W 273 W6 1 W(520)
need have I to fear that anything can rob me of W 273 W6 2 W(520)
apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And W 275 W6 1 W(522)
give the world. The safety that I bring is given me W 275 W6 2 W(522)
mine. And it is this that I would speak to all W 276 W6 2 W(523)
lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself.
W 277 W6 2 W(524)
1. If I accept that I am prisoner within a W 278 W6 1 W(525)
world in which all things that seem to live appear to W 278 W6 1 W(525)
of God, whose Father willed that he be limitless, and like W 280 W6 1 W(527)
You created limitless. The honor that I give to him is W 280 W6 2 W(527)
to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to W 280 W7 1 W(528)
for truth. Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all W 280 W7 1 W(528)
call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. The W 280 W7 5 W(528)
when all He wills is that you be complete?
W 280 W7 5 W(528)
is perfect. When he thinks that he is hurt in any W 281 L 1 W(529)
forgotten who he is, and that he is as You created W 281 L 1 W(529)
Identity, when You created everything that is? W 283 L W 283 L 1 W(531)
elect to change all thoughts that hurt. W W 284 L 0 W(532)
elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go W 284 L 1 W(532)
place! This is the day that has been chosen as the W 286 L 1 W(534)
come to understand the lesson that there is no need that W 286 L 1 W(534)
that there is no need that I do anything. In You W 286 L 1 W(534)
today will give us hope that we have found the way W 286 L 2 W(534)
seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity W 287 L 1 W(535)
to have? What way but that which leads to You could W 287 L 2 W(535)
This is the thought that leads the way to You W 288 L 1 W(536)
brothers is the hand that leads me on the way W 288 L 1 W(536)
Your Name, and so remember that It is my own. W 288 L 1 W(536)
hide, for this the world that can be looked on only W 289 L 1 W(537)
not look upon a past that is not there. For You W 289 L 2 W(537)
final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your W 289 L 2 W(537)
is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at W 290 L 1 W(538)
me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness W 290 L 2 W(538)
sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself. W W 290 W8 2 W(539)
condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The W 290 W8 3 W(539)
real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and W 290 W8 4 W(539)
s Love; the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real W 290 W8 4 W(539)
purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for God W 290 W8 5 W(539)
the Truth to be Itself. That instant is our goal, for W 290 W8 5 W(539)
Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my W 291 L 2 W(540)
no exceptions. And He guarantees that only joy can be the W 292 L 1 W(541)
we see, and every situation that we meet. Yet is the W 292 L 1 W(541)
to His Will, Which guarantees that our will is done. W 292 L 1 W(541)
promised us for every problem that we can perceive; for every W 292 L 2 W(541)
dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams W 294 L 2 W(543)
L 1. Christ asks that He may use my eyes W 295 L 1 W(544)
world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of W 295 L 1 W(544)
removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the W 295 L 1 W(544)
me, and one I give that it be given me. Help W 295 L 2 W(544)
Love to bless all things that I may look upon, that W 295 L 2 W(544)
that I may look upon, that His forgiving Love may rest W 295 L 2 W(544)
Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen W 296 L 1 W(545)
I would set it free that I may find escape, and W 296 L 1 W(545)
what we would learn, and that alone. And so our learning W 296 L 2 W(545)
I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will W 297 L 1 W(546)
world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I W 297 L 1 W(546)
my Reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight W 298 L 1 W(547)
God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will W 298 L 1 W(547)
as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved W 298 L 1 W(547)
I will be saved; sure that I go through fear to W 298 L 1 W(547)
sanctuary, and escape from everything that would obscure my love for W 298 L 2 W(547)
And our Will, together, knows that it is so. W W 299 L 1 W(548)
because it is Your Will that You be known.
W 299 L 2 W(548)
This is the thought that can be used to say W 300 L 1 W(549)
can be used to say that death and sorrow are the W 300 L 1 W(549)
this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep W 300 L 1 W(549)
instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity. W 300 L 2 W(549)
of Christs Second Coming that permits it to embrace the W 300 W9 2 W(550)
ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and W 300 W9 3 W(550)
all Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And W 300 W9 4 W(550)
300 W9 5. Pray that this Second Coming will be W 300 W9 5 W(550)
but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and W 300 W9 5 W(550)
your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do Gods W 300 W9 5 W(550)
You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining W 302 L 1 W(552)
forgive Your holy world today that I may look upon its W 302 L 1 W(552)
made. He is the Self that You have given me. He W 303 L 2 W(553)
me. It is not Christ that can be crucified. Safe in W 303 L 2 W(553)
unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a W 304 L 1 W(554)
look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been W 304 L 1 W(554)
offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the W 304 L 2 W(554)
305. There is a peace that Christ bestows on us. W 305 L 0 W(555)
quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no counterpartW 305 L 1 W(555)
because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us W 305 L 2 W(555)
world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to W 306 L 1 W(556)
Will is mine, and only That. There is no other will W 307 L 1 W(557)
nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created W 307 L 1 W(557)
with Gods in recognition that they are but one. W 307 L 2 W(557)
time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If W 308 L 1 W(558)
it is Gods Will that It be there forever and W 309 L 1 W(559)
time at all. The joy that comes to me is not W 310 L 1 W(560)
has come to me, and that it is Your Will that W 310 L 1 W(560)
that it is Your Will that I be free today. W 310 L 1 W(560)
the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false W 310 W10 1 W(561)
3. You who believed that Gods Last Judgment would condemn W 310 W10 3 W(561)
all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where W 313 L 1 W(564)
true perception come to me, that I may waken from the W 313 L 1 W(564)
no shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols W 314 L 1 W(565)
our past mistakes, and sure that You will keep Your present W 314 L 2 W(565)
and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely W 315 L 1 W(566)
Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and W 315 L 2 W(566)
I offer them my thankfulness, that gratitude to them may lead W 315 L 2 W(566)
angels watch its open doors, that not one gift is lost W 316 L 1 W(567)
at home among the gifts that God has given me. W 316 L 1 W(567)
recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them will W 316 L 2 W(567)
Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the W 317 L 2 W(568)
there be a single part that stands aside, or one of W 318 L 1 W(569)
offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself W 318 L 2 W(569)
and limiting. The ego thinks that what one gains totality must W 319 L 1 W(570)
Will of God I learn that what one gains is given W 319 L 1 W(570)
is total, and the goal that stems from It shares Its W 319 L 2 W(570)
was no time when all that It created was not there W 320 W11 1 W(572)
be a time when anything that It created suffers any pain W 320 W11 1 W(572)
are given all the power that Their own Creator has. For W 320 W11 2 W(572)
Father, it is my will that I return. W 321 W 321 L 1 W(573)
memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And W 322 L 1 W(574)
Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I W 326 L 1 W(578)
Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are W 326 L 1 W(578)
are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an Effect of W 326 L 1 W(578)
at the end I know that You will gather Your Effects W 326 L 1 W(578)
but learn from my experience that this is true, and faith W 327 L 1 W(579)
me. This is the faith that will endure, and take me W 327 L 1 W(579)
still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus W 327 L 1 W(579)
thus I will be sure that He has not abandoned me W 327 L 1 W(579)
Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail W 327 L 2 W(579)
Voice of God. It seems that we will gain autonomy but W 328 L 1 W(580)
striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest W 328 L 1 W(580)
His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize W 328 L 1 W(580)
Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what W 328 L 2 W(580)
do. It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally W 328 L 2 W(580)
peace. And happily I share that Will which You, my Father W 328 L 2 W(580)
became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all W 329 L 1 W(581)
because it is Your Will that it be so. W W 329 L 1 W(581)
us. Through It we recognize that we are one. Through It W 329 L 2 W(581)
is already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept W 330 L 1 W(582)
suffer. Let us choose today that He be our Identity, and W 330 L 1 W(582)
death. It is the will that sees the Will of God W 330 W12 1 W(583)
The ego is the proof that strength is weak and love W 330 W12 1 W(583)
in it is so immense that crucifixion of the Son of W 330 W12 4 W(583)
cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There W 331 L 1 W(584)
dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict W 331 L 1 W(584)
2. Forgiveness shows us that Gods Will is one W 331 L 2 W(584)
s Will is one, and that we share It. Let us W 331 L 2 W(584)
holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace W 331 L 2 W(584)
means to realize the freedom that is its inheritance. W W 332 L 1 W(585)
it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For W 333 L 1 W(586)
are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perception. Let W 334 L 1 W(587)
brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What W 335 L 1 W(588)
It is to this alone that I respond, however much I W 335 L 1 W(588)
brothers sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my W 335 L 1 W(588)
sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with W 335 L 2 W(588)
336. Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined. W 336 L 0 W(589)
but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. Forgiveness W 336 L 1 W(589)
has already done all things that need be done. And I W 337 L 1 W(590)
fear. Now he has learned that no-one frightens him, and nothing W 338 L 1 W(591)
himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved Son will be W 338 L 1 W(591)
And I will have thoughts that will frighten me until I W 338 L 2 W(591)
frighten me until I learn that You have given me the W 338 L 2 W(591)
pain. But he can think that pain is pleasure. No-one would W 339 L 1 W(592)
happiness. But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and W 339 L 1 W(592)

them. It is this Power that keeps all things safe. It M 5 B 1 M(9)
It is through this Power that the teachers of God look M 5 B 1 M(9)
before him? What is it that induces them to make the M 5 B 2 M(9)
it is rarely understood initially that their lack of value is M 5 B 3 M(9)
teacher of God has learned that much, he goes on to M 5 B 3 M(9)
somewhat difficult because, having learned that the changes in his life M 5 B 4 M(9)
hamper it. He will find that many, if not most of M 5 B 4 M(9)
takes great learning to understand that all things, events, encounters and M 5 B 4 M(10)
to which they are helpful that any degree of reality should M 5 B 4 M(10)
valueless. Through this, he learns that where he anticipated grief, he M 5 B 5 M(10)
the teacher of God understand that he did not really know M 5 B 7 M(11)
and what was valueless. All that he really learned so far M 5 B 7 M(11)
really learned so far was that he did not want the M 5 B 7 M(11)
not want the valueless and that he did want the valuable M 5 B 7 M(11)
willingness, but now he sees that he does not know what M 5 B 7 M(11)
he must attain a state that may remain impossible for a M 5 B 7 M(11)
of achievement. It is here that learning is consolidated. Now what M 5 B 8 M(11)
teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved the others M 5 C 1 M(12)
There is nothing you say that contradicts what you think or M 5 C 1 M(12)
only the wish to deceive that makes for war. No one M 5 C 2 M(12)
self-deception is impossible. Judgment implies that you have been deceived inM 5 D 1 M(12)
It is the dishonest act that follows a dishonest thought. It M 5 E 1 M(13)
fairly early in his training, that harmfulness completely obliterates his functionM 5 E 1 M(13)
except by those who realize that harm can actually achieve nothing M 5 E 1 M(13)
for it is in this that the function of salvation becomes M 5 E 2 M(13)
who would choose the weakness that must come from harm in M 5 E 2 M(13)
result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is now impossible, and M 5 F 1 M(14)
simple. They have no dreams that need defense against the truth M 5 G 1 M(14)
God until he fully understands that defenses are but the foolish M 5 G 1 M(14)
increases. It is not danger that comes when defenses are laid M 5 G 1 M(14)
fact, it is a meaning that must be learned and learned M 5 H 1 M(15)
only he could keep, because that is a guarantee of loss M 5 H 2 M(15)
keep for himself all things that are of God, and therefore M 5 H 2 M(15)
Son. These are the things that belong to him. These he M 5 H 2 M(15)
this is true for everything that happens now or in the M 5 I 1 M(16)
well held no mistakes; nothing that did not serve to benefit M 5 I 1 M(16)
of the world entirely. And that alone is faithfulness. Nothing but M 5 J 1 M(16)
alone is faithfulness. Nothing but that really deserves the name. Yet M 5 J 1 M(16)
M(17) that faithfulness in the true sense M 5 J 2 M(17)
rests in quiet certainty on That alone to which all faithfulness M 5 J 2 M(17)
have let go all things that would prevent forgiveness. They have M 5 K 2 M(17)
You may have noticed that the list of attributes of M 5 K 3 M(17)
beyond our curriculum that learning but disappears in its M 5 K 3 M(18)
Properly speaking, it is unlearning that they bring, for that is M 5 K 3 M(18)
unlearning that they bring, for that is true learning in the M 5 K 3 M(18)
weakness, in the mistaken conviction that it is strength. When this M 6 B 1 M(18)
recognize. It stands for all that he would hide from himself M 6 B 2 M(18)
facts. First, it is obvious that decisions are of the mind M 6 C 1 M(19)
mind and not the body that makes it. The resistance to M 6 C 1 M(19)
all forms. A patient decides that this is so, and he M 6 C 2 M(19)
outcome is what he decides that it is. Special agents seem M 6 C 2 M(19)
is no form of sickness that would not be cured at M 6 C 2 M(19)
is simply this; the recognition that sickness is of the mind M 6 C 3 M(19)
On the contrary, they believe that sickness has chosen them. Nor M 6 D 1 M(20)
It is not their hands that heal. It is not their M 6 D 2 M(21)
It is not their voice that speaks the Word of God M 6 D 2 M(21)
do this is to forget that all of them have the M 6 D 3 M(21)
suffer. And they remind him that he has not made himself M 6 D 3 M(21)
minds of their brothers, so that illusions are not reinforced. They M 6 D 3 M(21)
sense of loss so deep that the patient may even try M 7 A 1 M(22)
has been received, and trust that it will be accepted when M 7 A 2 M(22)
them. Once they have done that, they have also given the M 7 A 3 M(22)
also given the outcome, for that is part of the gift M 7 A 3 M(22)
the result of the giving. That is a limitation on the M 7 A 3 M(22)
fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the part M 7 A 3 M(22)
makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver will not M 7 A 3 M(22)
all concern about the gift that makes it truly given. And M 7 A 4 M(23)
given. And it is trust that makes true giving possible. Healing M 7 A 4 M(23)
is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the M 7 A 4 M(23)
it. He lacked the trust that makes for giving truly, and M 8 A 1 M(23)
not repeat his previous effort. That was already maximal, because the M 8 A 2 M(23)
his reason to tell himself that he has given the problem M 8 A 2 M(23)
Who cannot fail, and recognize that his own uncertainty is not M 8 A 2 M(23)
It is in this that the teacher of God must M 8 A 3 M(24)
really meant by the statement that the one responsibility of the M 8 A 3 M(24)
more, nor is there more that he could do. By accepting M 8 A 3 M(24)
of God could be withdrawn. That was a mistake, but hardly M 8 A 3 M(24)
difficult temptations to recognize is that to doubt a healing because M 8 A 4 M(24)
at first to be told that continued concern is attack. It M 8 A 4 M(24)
result. This is the certainty that gives God’s teachers the power M 8 A 4 M(24)
the outcome of any problem that has been given to God M 8 A 5 M(24)
resolution is always self-doubt. And that necessarily implies that trust hasM 8 A 5 M(24)
self-doubt. And that necessarily implies that trust has been placed in M 8 A 5 M(24)
attempt to make something real that is regarded as of major M 9 A 2 M(25)
it is surely the mind that judges what the eyes behold M 9 A 3 M(26)
behold. It is the mind that interprets the eyes messages and M 9 A 3 M(26)
categorizing activities of the mind that errors in perception enter. And M 9 A M(26)
having done so, it concludes that the categories must be true M 9 A M(26)
because it is on this that judgments of the world depend M 9 A M(26)
voice he hears than to that of a softer one? Will M 9 A 5 M(26)
of its Teacher; the understanding that only two categories are meaningful M 9 A 6 M(27)
in the external situation. Remember that no one is where he M 10 A 1 M(27)
plan. It is most unlikely that changes in his attitudes would M 10 A 1 M(27)
goal in direct opposition to that of our curriculum. The world M 10 A 2 M(28)
of God to realize not that he should not judge, but M 11 A 2 M(29)
he should not judge, but that he cannot. In giving up M 11 A 2 M(29)
merely become more honest. Recognizing that judgment was always impossible forM 11 A 2 M(29)
s learning, is the recognition that judgment in the usual sense M 11 A 3 M(29)
distortion in his perception, so that his judgment would be wholly M 11 A 3 M(29)
of a burden so great that you could merely stagger and M 11 A 5 M(30)
it is not only this that is his benefit. His sense M 11 A 5 M(30)
it. And now he knows that these things need not be M 11 A 6 M(30)
of God promises other things that seem impossible, as well as M 12 A 1 M(30)
peace. It has also promised that there is no death; that M 12 A 1 M(30)
that there is no death; that resurrection must occur, and that M 12 A 1 M(30)
that resurrection must occur, and that rebirth is mans inheritance M 12 A 1 M(30)
yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. God M 12 A 1 M(30)
s Word has promised us that peace is possible here, and M 12 A 1 M(30)
impossible. But it is true that the world must be looked M 12 A 1 M(30)
world, and things so opposite that it is pointless to try M 12 A 2 M(31)
Gods Word assures you that He loves the world; your M 12 A 2 M(31)
3. The text explains that the Holy Spirit is the M 12 A 3 M(31)
problems are not true, but that is meaningless to those who M 12 A 3 M(31)
is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has God M 12 A 4 M(31)
instead, Is it not impossible that peace be absent here? M 12 A 4 M(31)
appear to be many, for that is the worlds need M 13 A 2 M(32)
them now as One, for that is what they are. M 13 A 2 M(32)
those who do not realize that they are Spirit. A body M 13 A 3 M(32)
listen to without the fear that truth would find in them M 13 A 3 M(32)
in them. Do not forget that truth can come only where M 13 A 3 M(32)
become more and more certain that the body’s function is but M 13 A 4 M(33)
central lesson is always this; that what you use the body M 13 A 5 M(33)
it is laid by, and that is all. The mind makes M 13 A 5 M(33)
this decision alone. To do that would be to give the M 13 A 5 M(33)
another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God’s Voice M 13 A 5 M(33)
choice. For they have learned that all choices are made consciously M 13 A 6 M(33)
what they see. They recognize that to behold a dream figure M 13 A 6 M(33)
a corrective device; another illusion that replaces the first, so both M 14 A 1 M(34)
system can take hold, is that it is a sacrifice to M 14 A 1 M(34)
itself is nothing more than that? M 14 A 2 M 14 A 1 M(34)
and to accept the fact that the world has nothing to M 14 A 2 M(34)
nothing mean? It cannot mean that you have less because of M 14 A 2 M(34)
in the worlds terms that does not involve the body M 14 A 2 M(34)
for the mind to understand that all the pleasures of the M 14 A 3 M(35)
condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is free of all M 14 A 4 M(35)
illusions. It is the price that must be paid for the M 14 A 5 M(35)
no pleasure of the world that does not demand this, for M 14 A 5 M(35)
is the idea of sacrifice that makes him blind. He does M 14 A 5 M(35)
hold dear. In one sense that is true, for you hold M 14 A 6 M(36)
you hold dear the things that crucify God’s Son. And it M 14 A 6 M(36)
teacher of God, is it that you want? You have been M 14 A 6 M(36)
answered. Would you now sacrifice that Call? Few have heard it M 14 A 6 M(36)
hope in all the world that they can trust. There is M 14 A 6 M(36)
voice in all the world that echoes God’s. If you would M 14 A 6 M(36)
7. Do not forget that sacrifice is total. There are M 14 A 7 M(36)
no exceptions. It is this that makes It holy and beyond M 14 A 7 M(36)
world. It is Its holiness that points to God. It is M 14 A 7 M(36)
God. It is Its holiness that makes you safe. It is M 14 A 7 M(36)
with God occurs. A split that is impossible. A split that M 14 A 7 M(36)
that is impossible. A split that cannot happen. Yet a split M 14 A 7 M(36)
have set up a situation that is impossible. And in this M 14 A 7 M(36)
learn. For it is here that your concern should be. Atonement M 14 A 8 M(36)
forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for now M 15 A 1 M(37)
of illusions is the belief that they have a purpose; that M 15 A 1 M(37)
that they have a purpose; that they serve a need or M 15 A 1 M(37)
direction. He need merely trust that, if God’s Voice tells him M 15 A 4 M(38)
to it, and he trusts that He will show him how M 15 A 4 M(38)
in true humility, and realize that all God would have you M 15 A 5 M(38)
will welcome it, and on that very day it will be M 16 A 1 M(39)
lies. This is the judgment that will set him free. This M 16 A 1 M(39)
silence lies across the world that everyone may hear this judgment M 16 A 1 M(39)
of God? Do you believe that this is wholly true? No M 16 A 2 M(39)
this judgment and to recognize that it is true. One instant M 16 A 2 M(39)
your judgments on its gifts, that you would rather have? You M 16 A 3 M(40)
promises are sure. Only remember that. His promises have guaranteed His M 16 A 3 M(40)
is your function to make that end be soon. It is M 16 A 3 M(40)
He will be told all that his role should be, this M 17 A 1 M(40)
day. And those who share that role with him will find M 17 A 1 M(40)
one which can be met that very day. For the advanced M 17 A 1 M(40)
M(41) that it is well to start M 17 A 2 M(41)
outset, we can safely say that time devoted to starting the M 17 A 3 M(41)
God himself. He cannot claim that title until he has gone M 17 A 3 M(41)
always practical. It may be that the teacher of God is M 17 A 4 M(41)
so, let him but remember that he chooses to spend time M 17 A 4 M(41)
only an instant, and in that instant join with Him completely M 17 A 4 M(41)
completely. Perhaps the one generalization that can be made is this M 17 A 4 M(41)
it difficult. You may find that the difficulty will diminish and M 17 A 4 M(41)
and drop away. If not, that is the time to stop M 17 A 4 M(41)
earlier, at least be sure that you do not forget a M 17 A 5 M(42)
is one thought in particular that should be remembered throughout the M 17 A 6 M(42)
think you made a power that can save you from all M 17 A 6 M(42)
has accepted His protection! All that he did before in the M 17 A 7 M(42)
success depends on his conviction that he will succeed. He must M 17 A 8 M(42)
not this is magic, and that magic is a sorry substitute M 17 A 8 M(43)
it is to this fact that the teacher of God devotes M 17 A 10 M(43)
abandoned through his recognition not that it is fearful, not that M 17 A 10 M(43)
that it is fearful, not that it is sinful, not that M 17 A 10 M(43)
that it is sinful, not that it is dangerous, but merely M 17 A 10 M(43)
it is dangerous, but merely that it is meaningless. Rooted in M 17 A 10 M(43)
chooses to give up all that he never had. And for M 17 A 10 M(43)
Is not this an exchange that you would want? The world M 17 A 11 M(44)
teachers who must teach it that it can. And so it M 17 A 11 M(44)
their function to make sure that they have learned it. No M 17 A 11 M(44)
for it is only this that leads to pain. There is M 17 A 11 M(44)
Gods. His teachers know that this is so, and have M 17 A 11 M(44)
is so, and have learned that everything but this is magic M 17 A 11 M(44)
by just one simple-minded illusion; that it works. All through his M 17 A 11 M(44)
s teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own M 18 A 1 M(44)
can be sure as well that he has asked for depression M 18 A 1 M(44)
then, it is not this that he would teach because it M 18 A 1 M(44)
because it is not this that he would learn. M M 18 A 1 M(44)
to magic in a way that reinforces it. Nor is this M 18 A 2 M(44)
It is this double wish that makes the help of little M 18 A 2 M(44)
Nor should it be forgotten that the outcome that results will M 18 A 2 M(44)
be forgotten that the outcome that results will always come to M 18 A 2 M(44)
times has it been emphasized that you give but to yourself M 18 A 2 M(44)
will be helpful to remember that no one can be angry M 18 A 4 M(45)
It is always an interpretation that gives rise to negative emotions M 18 A 4 M(45)
in the clearest form possible, that the mind which thinks it M 18 A 5 M(45)
it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of M 18 A 5 M(45)
Will of God and succeed. That this can hardly be a M 18 A 5 M(45)
a fact is obvious. Yet that it can be believed as M 18 A 5 M(45)
keep him safe from fury that can never be abated and M 18 A 5 M(45)
never be abated and vengeance that can never be satisfied. M 18 A 5 M(45)
how it came about. Believe that you have won it, but M 18 A 6 M(46)
most starkly represented. For in that thought has guilt already raised M 18 A 7 M(46)
patience and abundant willingness. Given that, the lesson’s manifest simplicity standsM 18 A 8 M(46)
Remember then, teacher of God, that anger recognizes a reality that M 18 A 9 M(47)
that anger recognizes a reality that is not there; yet is M 18 A 9 M(47)
is the anger certain witness that you do believe in it M 18 A 9 M(47)
to his pupil and himself that it is their task to M 19 A 1 M(47)
unchanged, unchangeable condition of all that God created. Now He can M 19 A 2 M(47)
Christs vision to eyes that see. Now is He free M 19 A 2 M(47)
this, and to the world that rests on this: You but M 19 A 3 M(48)
anyone, let him instantly realize that he has made an interpretation M 19 A 4 M(48)
is, however, the one interpretation that leads to truth. This becomes M 20 A 2 M(49)
in itself, justice includes nothing that opposes truth. There is no M 20 A 2 M(49)
and the enormous opening vistas that rise to meet one as M 20 A 2 M(49)
fall short indeed of all that awaits one when the pathway M 20 A 2 M(49)
world back to the mind that made the lens and holds M 20 A 3 M(49)
separate. And it is this that overcomes the fear of death M 20 A 4 M(49)
impartial. It accepts all evidence that is brought before it, omitting M 20 A 5 M(50)
It has been said that there is a kind of M 21 A 1 M(50)
is a kind of peace that is not of this world M 21 A 1 M(50)
It calls to mind nothing that went before. It brings with M 21 A 2 M(50)
place is everlasting quiet. Only that. The contrast first perceived has M 21 A 2 M(50)
is, for anger must deny that peace exists. Who sees anger M 21 A 3 M(50)
way or any circumstance proclaims that peace is meaningless, and must M 21 A 3 M(50)
is meaningless, and must believe that it cannot exist. In this M 21 A 3 M(50)
And it is conflict now that is perceived as non-existent and M 21 A 3 M(51)
once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly M 21 A 4 M(51)
although you will not recognize that you have picked it up M 21 A 4 M(51)
happiness was yours without it, that you must have taken it M 21 A 4 M(51)
this you do not see; that you made death, and it M 21 A 5 M(51)
world, and you will understand that everything which God created cannot M 21 A 5 M(51)
than this; the simple understanding that His Will is wholly without M 21 A 6 M(51)
opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His Will, yet can M 21 A 6 M(51)
Let us not forget, however, that words are but symbols of M 22 A 1 M(52)
be received. It is impossible that the prayer of the heart M 22 A 3 M(52)
any meaning, because it symbolizes that which has no human symbols M 22 A 3 M(52)
confront him with a situation that appears to be very embarrassing M 22 A 5 M(53)
coming from the shabby self-perception that he would leave behind. Judge M 22 A 5 M(53)
behind. Judge not the words that come to you, but offer M 22 A 5 M(53)
before he has learned all that his acceptance holds out to M 23 A 2 M(54)
It is only the end that is certain. Anywhere along the M 23 A 2 M(54)
M 23 A 3. That forgiveness is healing needs to M 23 A 3 M(54)
to make progress. The idea that a body can be sick M 23 A 3 M(54)
would be impossible. A body that can order a mind to M 23 A 3 M(54)
is it at this level that the teacher of God calls M 23 A 4 M(54)
teacher, of Who it is that is in need of healing M 23 A 4 M(54)
is true of all things that God created. In it are M 23 A 4 M(54)
heal the sense of separation that has made him sick. It M 23 A 6 M(55)
function to recognize for him that what he believes about himself M 23 A 6 M(55)
truth. It is your forgiveness that must show him this. Healing M 23 A 6 M(55)
is in the receiving, then, that healing lies. All else must M 23 A 6 M(55)
understood until God’s teacher recognizes that they are the same mistake M 23 A 7 M(55)
We have repeatedly stated that one who has perfectly accepted M 24 A 2 M(56)
mean to you? It means that in remembering Jesus you are M 24 A 3 M(56)
honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep M 24 A 3 M(56)
But it stands for love that is not of this world M 24 A 4 M(56)
world. It is a symbol that can safely be used as M 24 A 4 M(56)
to What it stands for that the little space between the M 24 A 4 M(56)
two is lost the moment that the Name is called to M 24 A 4 M(56)
thanks for all the gifts that God has given you. And M 24 A 4 M(57)
asked for love, but only that he might give it to M 24 A 5 M(57)
is so complete and flawless that he sees in it an M 24 A 5 M(57)
witnesses. It is to them that wisdom would appeal. There have M 24 A 6 M(57)
Is the concept helpful? And that depends, of course, on what M 25 A 1 M(58)
self-evident. It is certain, however, that the way to salvation can M 25 A 2 M(58)
thought which strengthens the idea that life and the body are M 25 A 2 M(58)
not concerned with any concept that is not acceptable to anyone M 25 A 3 M(58)
cannot be too strongly emphasized that this course aims at a M 25 A 4 M(59)
should both learn and teach that theoretical issues but waste time M 25 A 4 M(59)
to any concept or belief that will be helpful, he will M 25 A 4 M(59)
5. Does this mean that the teacher of God should M 25 A 5 M(59)
unlikely. He might be advised that he is misusing the belief M 25 A 5 M(59)
it would be necessary. All that must be recognized, however, is M 25 A 5 M(59)
must be recognized, however, is that birth was not the beginning M 25 A 5 M(59)
need merely accept the idea that what he knows is not M 25 A 5 M(59)
it is at this moment that complete salvation is offered you M 25 A 6 M(59)
it is at this moment that you can accept it. This M 25 A 6 M(59)
no other time. No teaching that does not lead to this M 25 A 6 M(59)
sense it can be said that their truth lies in their M 25 A 6 M(59)
in their usefulness. All beliefs that lead to progress should be M 25 A 6 M(59)
to make up a power that does not exist. It is M 26 A 1 M(60)
It is equally obvious, however, that each individual has many abilities M 26 A 1 M(60)
he may well develop abilities that seem quite startling to him M 26 A 1 M(60)
startling to him. Yet nothing that he can do can compare M 26 A 1 M(60)
delayed by the little ones that may come to him on M 26 A 1 M(60)
there are many psychic powers that are clearly in line with M 26 A 2 M(60)
for without them the walls that surround all the separate places M 26 A 2 M(60)
The seemingly new abilities that may be gathered on the M 26 A 3 M(60)
no one has any powers that are not available to everyone M 26 A 3 M(60)
26 A 4. Nothing that is genuine is used to M 26 A 4 M(61)
dependably. It is almost inevitable that, unless the individual changes hisM 26 A 5 M(61)
A 6. Any ability that anyone develops has the potentiality M 26 A 6 M(61)
world. And it is this that enables others to leave the M 27 A 1 M(62)
world, it is almost impossible that this endure. It can, perhaps M 27 A 3 M(62)
But this is so rare that it cannot be considered a M 27 A 3 M(62)
bondage and still asleep, so that by their awakening can God’s M 27 A 3 M(62)
unchangeable belief of the world that all things in it are M 28 A 1 M(63)
as loving. For who decreed that all things pass away, ending M 28 A 2 M(63)
love, because he has denied that life is real. Death has M 28 A 2 M(63)
4. The curious belief that there is part of dying M 28 A 4 M(64)
is part of dying things that may go on apart from M 28 A 4 M(64)
firmly rooted in the belief that God’s Son is a body M 28 A 5 M(64)
of the real world and that of the world of illusions M 28 A 5 M(64)
eternal. Do you not see that otherwise He has an opposite M 28 A 6 M(65)
Nothing but this; the realization that the Son of God is M 28 A 7 M(65)
sight is needed? What remains that vision could accomplish? We have M 29 A 5 M(67)
teachers, it must be remembered that only time divides teacher and M 30 A 1 M(68)
divides teacher and pupil, so that the difference is temporary by M 30 A 1 M(68)
come this far without realizing that. The curriculum is highly individualizedM 30 A 2 M(68)
always right. Would you say that of yours? M 30 M 30 A 2 M(68)
fear. And it is this that lets the memory of love M 30 A 3 M(68)
you. Do not, then, think that following the Holy Spirit’s guidance M 30 A 3 M(69)
things because you have given that belief to it. Such is M 30 A 4 M(69)
Who assumes a power that he does not have is M 30 A 5 M(69)
true inheritance. Does this mean that you cannot say anything without M 30 A 5 M(69)
without consulting Him? No, indeed! That would hardly be practical, and M 30 A 5 M(69)
can, you can be confident that wisdom will be given you M 30 A 5 M(69)
A 6. Never forget that the Holy Spirit does not M 30 A 6 M(70)
answers them. Does this mean that, while attack remains attractive to M 30 A 6 M(70)
into His language. He understands that an attack is a call M 30 A 6 M(70)
I give thanks for you that this is so. M M 30 A 7 M(70)
and to undo All things that change. Through you is ushered M 30 A 8 M(70)
willing to overlook controversy, recognizing that it is a defense against U 1 A 2 U(1)
It is always the ego that questions because it is only U 1 A 3 U(1)
it is only the ego that doubts. The course merely gives U 1 A 3 U(1)
and one goal. Only in that does it remain wholly consistent U 1 A 3 U(1)
remain wholly consistent because only that can BE consistent. U U 1 A 3 U(1)
5. You will notice that the emphasis on structural issues U 1 A 5 U(2)
are some of the terms that are used. 2 U 1 A 5 U(2)
Spirit is the part that is still in contact with U 2 A 3 U(2)
of spirit, with the understanding that, being of God, it is U 2 A 3 U(2)
unified. Creation continues unabated because that is the Will of God U 2 A 4 U(2)
increasingly. Yet the very fact that it has levels and can U 2 A U(3)
and can be trained demonstrates that consciousness cannot reach knowledge. U 2 A U(3)
impossibility; a choice for options that do not exist. We call U 3 A 1 U(4)
not exist. We call it that to help us understand that U 3 A 1 U(4)
that to help us understand that it is nothing but an U 3 A 1 U(4)
nothing but an ancient thought that what is made has immortality U 3 A 1 U(4)
Nothingness, but in a form that seems like something. In a U 3 A 2 U(4)
seeks by definition to ensure that its illusive nature is concealed U 3 A 2 U(4)
is concealed behind the words that seem to make it so U 3 A 2 U(4)
no definition for a lie that serves to make it true U 3 A 3 U(4)
can there be a truth that lies conceal effectively. The ego U 3 A 3 U(4)
clarity. It is from this that we deduce all that the U 3 A 4 U(4)
this that we deduce all that the ego is. Look at U 3 A 4 U(4)
can see the only answer that is meaningful. U 3 U 3 A 4 U(4)
And here we find all that is not the ego in U 3 A 5 U(4)
For here we see all that it seemed to do, and U 3 A 5 U(4)
ego? In an evil dream that but seemed real while you U 3 A 6 U(5)
seek for an illusion now that dreams are gone? U U 3 A 6 U(5)
brotherless illusion and the self that seemed alone in all the U 3 A 8 U(5)
think of anything He created that could need forgiveness. Forgiveness, thenU 4 A 1 U(6)
is just this insane perception that makes them unwilling merely to U 4 A 2 U(6)
content it is His Will that it be understood. And that U 4 A 3 U(6)
that it be understood. And that suffices. The form adapts itself U 4 A 3 U(6)
divided. And so the Unity that it reflects becomes His Will U 4 A 5 U(6)
the wished-for can become unwelcome. That must be so because the U 4 A 7 U(7)
the world become in just that single instant when you see U 4 A 8 U(7)
Son, the Unity of unities that stands behind all joining but U 4 A 8 U(7)
in the world you see that will endure forever. Some things U 5 A 1 U(7)
be seen, for the illusions that they look upon must lead U 5 A 2 U(7)
sin and guilt. While everything that God created is forever without U 5 A 2 U(7)
exist. And it is this that true perception sees. U U 5 A 3 U(8)
fragile veil, so easily dispelled that it can last no longer U 5 A 4 U(8)
of Christ appears, and in that instant is the world forgot U 5 A 4 U(8)
This is the shift that true perception brings: What was U 5 A 6 U(8)
you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold U 5 A 8 U(9)
by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self U 6 A 2 U(10)
And Christ needed his form that He might appear to men U 6 A 2 U(10)
us all a final demonstration that it is impossible to kill U 6 A 3 U(10)
this who shared your dreams that they might be dispelled. And U 6 A 4 U(10)
to teach the mighty lesson that he learned for all of U 6 A 5 U(10)
his lesson most of all that he would have you learn U 6 A 6 U(11)
the earth in the sense that it was now possible to U 7 A 1 U(11)
you in an eternal shining that will never be obliterated because U 7 A 3 U(12)
the part of your mind that is part of the Christ U 7 A 4 U(12)
be a Voice, for in that form He speaks Gods U 7 A 4 U(12)
far country, for you need that form of help.. He seems U 7 A 4 U(12)
you. It is from these that He would make you safe U 7 A 4 U(12)
do. When you forget, remember that you walk with Him and U 8 A 1 U(13)
opens up an ancient door that leads beyond the world? U 8 A 1 U(13)
Heavens with a shining Ray that held it safe within eternity U 8 A 3 U(13)
ancient journey long ago begun that but seems new. We have U 8 A 4 U(13)
our brothers. Now we know that we will never lose the U 8 A 5 U(13)
an instant and forgets all that the dream of sin had U 8 A 5 U(14)
meet the newborn world, knowing that Christ has been reborn in U 8 A 6 U(14)
been reborn in it, and that the holiness of this rebirth U 8 A 6 U(14)
still, and in the peace that God has given him enters U 8 A 6 U(14)
indeed. Psychotherapy is necessary so that individuals can begin to questionP 1 A 1 P(1)
his perception of interpersonal relationships that enables him to do so P 1 A 1 P(1)
patient often regards them in that way himself. What he does P 2 A 3 P(2)
and needs to learn is that this self, which can attack P 2 A 3 P(2)
his thinking, and to understand that what he thought projected its P 2 A 4 P(2)
his freedom because he thinks that it is slavery. P P 2 A 4 P(2)
separate truth from illusion, recognizing that they are not the same P 2 A 5 P(2)
no end to the help that He begins and He directs P 2 A 5 P(2)
God in the end. But that is up to Him. We P 2 A 5 P(2)
Psychotherapy is a process that changes the view of the P 3 A 1 P(3)
be expected to establish reality. That is not its function. If P 3 A 1 P(3)
one fundamental error; the belief that anger brings him something he P 3 A 1 P(3)
something he really wants, and that by justifying attack he is P 3 A 1 P(3)
extent he comes to realize that this is mistaken, to that P 3 A 1 P(3)
that this is mistaken, to that extent is he truly saved P 3 A 1 P(3)
is, but without the suffering that it entails. Their whole equilibrium P 3 A 2 P(3)
rests on the insane belief that this is possible. And because P 3 A 2 P(3)
s self-concept in some way that he believes is real. The P 3 A 4 P(3)
it is only in relationships that salvation can be found. At P 3 A 4 P(3)
the beginning, it is inevitable that patients and therapists alike accept P 3 A 4 P(3)
psychotherapy begins with the realization that healing is of the mind P 3 B 1 P(4)
relationship held out to them that meets the changing need. Perhaps P 3 B 1 P(4)
errors which the ego fosters; that it is capable of true P 3 B 2 P(4)
patients who need him just that way. They cannot take more P 3 B 4 P(5)
for one who has achieved that point can teach salvation completely P 3 C 1 P(5)
attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable that it hardly requires elaboration hereP 3 C 2 P(5)
God. Forgiveness, then, is all that need be taught, because it P 3 C 3 P(6)
taught, because it is all that need be learned. All blocks P 3 C 3 P(6)
not the awareness of God that constitutes a reasonable goal for P 3 C 4 P(6)
be but known. Belief implies that unbelief is possible, but knowledge P 3 C 4 P(6)
and it is to this that all unforgiveness leads. And without P 3 C 4 P(6)
is it he who writes that gives the invitation? God comes P 3 C 6 P(7)
the psychotherapist does not understand that healing comes from God. They P 3 C 7 P(7)
need as his and see that they are met as one P 3 C 9 P(7)
in helping him to see that this is so? And what P 3 C 9 P(7)
direction? It is the goal that makes these processes the same P 3 C 9 P(7)
a leader in the sense that he walks slightly ahead of P 3 D 1 P(8)
nowhere. It is, however, impossible that this One be wholly absent P 3 D 1 P(8)
And so the little light that can be then accepted is P 3 D 1 P(8)
egoless psychotherapist is an abstraction that stands at the end of P 3 D 4 P(8)
it. It is a decision that truth can lie and must P 3 E 1 P(9)
themselves to seek for remedies that cannot help, because their faith P 3 E 2 P(9)
salvation. There can be nothing that a change of mind cannot P 3 E 2 P(9)
inevitable course, once the decision that guilt is real has been P 3 E 3 P(9)
error lies in the belief that it can cure itself. This P 3 E 5 P(10)
overlook reality is insanity. Yet that is magics purpose; to P 3 E 7 P(10)
as real is the belief that illness varies in intensity; that P 3 E 8 P(11)
that illness varies in intensity; that the degree of threat differs P 3 E 8 P(11)
mockery so alien to God that it must be forever inconceivable P 3 E 8 P(11)
save him from them, believing that he is attacking him. This P 3 E 9 P(11)
is his task to demonstrate that defenses are not necessary, and P 3 E 10 P(11)
defenses are not necessary, and that defenselessness is strength. This mustP 3 E 10 P(11)
his lesson is to be that sanity is safe. It cannot P 3 E 10 P(11)
cannot be too strongly emphasized that the insane believe that sanity P 3 E 10 P(11)
emphasized that the insane believe that sanity is threat. This is P 3 E 10 P(11)
the original sin; the belief that guilt is real and fully P 3 E 10 P(11)
the psychotherapist’s function to teach that guilt, being unreal, cannot beP 3 E 10 P(11)
wake comes the inevitable belief that, to be safe, one must P 3 F 1 P(12)
ushered in by the belief that there are forces to be P 3 F 1 P(12)
an inflated sense of self that holds in darkness what is P 3 F 1 P(12)
2. Let us remember that the ones who come to P 3 F 2 P(12)
be helped. No more than that is asked of psychotherapy; no P 3 F 3 P(12)
there. And He has guaranteed that He will hear and answer P 3 F 4 P(12)
truth. They can be sure that healing is a process He P 3 F 4 P(12)
brothers. Let us not forget that we are helpless of ourselves P 3 F 4 P(12)
It is not our perfection that is asked in our attempts P 3 F 7 P(13)
through the veil of guilt that shrouds the Son of God P 3 F 7 P(13)
Face of Christ, and understand that it is but our own P 3 F 7 P(13)
do what It has chosen that we do. There is one P 3 F 8 P(13)
began. And it is there that we will lay them down P 3 F 8 P(13)
in the Voice of God, that all his sins have been P 3 F 8 P(13)
hears it, he cannot understand that it is he who sings P 3 G 1 P(14)
cherished, but without the recognition that this is so. For when P 3 G 4 P(14)
it is the something else that seems to terrify. But it P 3 G 4 P(14)
is not the something else that can be healed. It is P 3 G 4 P(14)
one translated into the other, that a careful study of the P 3 G 5 P(15)
to the form of unforgiveness that it represents. Yet seeing this P 3 G 5 P(15)
will not effect a cure. That is achieved by only one P 3 G 5 P(15)
achieved by only one recognition; that only forgiveness heals an unforgivenessP 3 G 5 P(15)
sees in the patient all that he has not forgiven in P 3 G 6 P(15)
as gone into a past that is no longer here. Until P 3 G 6 P(15)
demonstrate their sinlessness to eyes that still believe that sin is P 3 G 7 P(15)
to eyes that still believe that sin is there to look P 3 G 7 P(15)
What He knows is only that He has one Son. His P 3 H 1 P(16)
H 3. The process that takes place in this relationship P 3 H 3 P(16)
his heart tells the patient that all his sins have been P 3 H 3 P(16)
a function presupposes a knowledge that no one here can have P 3 H 5 P(17)
and of all the effects that may occur in them. Only P 3 H 5 P(17)
such wisdom except in madness. That many therapists are mad is P 3 H 5 P(17)
can ever doubt the power that is in him. Nor does P 3 H 6 P(17)
9. Be thankful, therapist, that you can see such things P 3 H 9 P(18)
But if you fail in that, you have denied that God P 3 H 9 P(18)
in that, you have denied that God created you, and so P 3 H 9 P(18)
see in him an answer that you have refused to give P 3 H 9 P(18)
no other choice of pathways that can ever lead to peace P 3 H 9 P(18)
yours. This does not mean that you select him, nor that P 4 A 1 P(19)
that you select him, nor that you choose the kind of P 4 A 1 P(19)
choose the kind of treatment that is suitable. But it does P 4 A 1 P(19)
suitable. But it does mean that no one comes to you P 4 A 1 P(19)
an error, however, to assume that you know what to offer P 4 A 1 P(19)
is a tendency to assume that you are being called on P 4 A 1 P(19)
Who could ask of Perfection that He be imperfect? P P 4 A 1 P(19)
There is Something in him that will tell you, if you P 4 A 2 P(19)
you, if you listen. And that is the answer; listen. Do P 4 A 2 P(19)
part in it. He understands that his part is necessary to P 4 A 4 P(20)
necessary to the whole, and that through it he will recognize P 4 A 4 P(20)
Yet would he not rejoice that he can answer, when only P 4 A 4 P(20)
hear the call and understand that it is his?
P 4 A 4 P(20)
it can still be said that there are those who devote P 4 B 1 P(21)
And it is to them that a large number of others P 4 B 1 P(21)
of others turn for help. That, in effect, is the practice P 4 B 1 P(21)
an excellent position to demonstrate that there is no order of P 4 B 2 P(21)
direction he may have chosen. That something is enough. Sooner or P 4 B 3 P(21)
is enough. Sooner or later that something will rise in awareness P 4 B 3 P(21)
return of His Son. In that strange dream a strange correction P 4 B 4 P(22)
correction must enter, for only that is the call to awake P 4 B 4 P(22)
This is the only message that any two should ever give P 4 B 4 P(22)
of patient and therapist. And that good is saved for both P 4 B 5 P(22)
day when they can recognize that only that was real in P 4 B 5 P(22)
they can recognize that only that was real in their relationship P 4 B 5 P(22)
real in their relationship. At that moment it is returned to P 4 B 5 P(22)
It is in the instant that the therapist forgets to judge P 4 B 6 P(22)
forgets to judge the patient that healing occurs. In some relationships P 4 B 6 P(22)
it is when judgment ceases that healing occurs, because only then P 4 B 7 P(23)
then it can be understood that there is no order of P 4 B 7 P(23)
healed healer. He has learned that it is no harder to P 4 B 7 P(23)
remains, because they have chosen that it be so. They take P 4 B 7 P(23)
the professional therapist has realized that minds are joined, he can P 4 B 8 P(23)
joined, he can also recognize that order of difficulty in healing P 4 B 8 P(23)
professional therapist has one advantage that can save enormous time if P 4 B 9 P(23)
temptation to assume a function that has not been given him P 4 B 9 P(23)
10. Do not forget that any form of specialness must P 4 B 10 P(24)
is the Will of God that he take his place in P 4 B 10 P(24)
is the Will of God that his patients be helped to P 4 B 10 P(24)
however, part of His plan that everything in this world be P 4 C 1 P(25)
Yet who could possibly imagine that it could be bought? P 4 C 4 P(26)
It has well been said that to him who hath shall P 4 C 5 P(26)
Word and understood it. All that they need will thus be P 4 C 5 P(26)
this understanding unless they remember that all they have comes only P 4 C 5 P(26)
What greater gift is there that you would give? P P 4 C 7 P(27)
you bid him welcome, for that same Christ is in him P 4 C 8 P(27)
while, prayer takes the form that best will suit your need S 1 A 2 S(1)
recognize its oneness, and rejoice that what illusions seemed to separate S 1 A 2 S(1)
to Him in rising song that reaches higher and then higher S 1 A 3 S(1)
offering your love and support that his asking be holy and S 1 A 4 S(2)
and his true need recognized. That is prayer; it is the S 1 A 4 S(2)
form of a sudden feeling that you have something to tell S 1 A 5 S(2)
do not think because of that that you have been mistaken S 1 A 6 S(2)
not think because of that that you have been mistaken in S 1 A 6 S(2)
about the kind of answer that is acceptable. The purpose of S 1 A 7 S(3)
of experience more manageable. But that means manageable by YOU. For S 1 A 7 S(3)
of living in this world that is necessary. But not for S 1 A 7 S(3)
will limit fear; sometimes not. That is why some people hear S 1 A 7 S(3)
silent and speaks in silence. That means that you do not S 1 A 8 S(3)
speaks in silence. That means that you do not phrase the S 1 A 8 S(3)
cannot lie in idols, for that is merely faith in magic S 1 A 9 S(3)
in magic. Trust requires faith that God understands, knows, and will S 1 A 9 S(3)
if you do not feel that you have it, asking is S 1 A 9 S(3)
cannot succeed until you realize that it asks for nothing. How S 1 B 1 S(3)
4) problem, and that you will receive a specific S 1 B 2 S(4)
You have also been told that there is only one problem S 1 B 2 S(4)
beyond the level of need that you recognize. Therefore it is S 1 B 2 S(4)
the form of the question that matters, nor how it is S 1 B 2 S(4)
echo. It is the song that is the gift. Along with S 1 B 3 S(4)
Him, for they tell Him that you would have no gods S 1 B 4 S(4)
is nothing left to want. That nothingness becomes the altar of S 1 B 5 S(4)
not a level of prayer that everyone can attain as yet S 1 B 6 S(5)
in prayer does not mean that another mediates between you and S 1 B 6 S(5)
God. But it does mean that another can stand beside you S 1 B 6 S(5)
to his Father. To ask that Christ be but Himself is S 1 B 7 S(5)
pray with one who knows that this is true is to S 1 B 7 S(5)
come because you have realized that it does not matter. Therein S 1 B 7 S(5)
involve belief in Him. At that level prayer is merely wanting S 1 C 1 S(5)
Yet it is also true that no one who is uncertain S 1 C 2 S(5)
the many sources of guilt that inevitably underlie any prayer of S 1 C 3 S(6)
At this level also comes that curious contradiction in terms known S 1 C 4 S(6)
really mean? Pray for yourself, that you may not seek to S 1 C 4 S(6)
Let it never be forgotten that prayer at any level is S 1 C 6 S(6)
D 1. We said that prayer is always for yourself S 1 D 1 S(7)
hurting you. The poisonous thought that he IS your enemy, your S 1 D 1 S(7)
come from one who understands that they are calls for death S 1 D 2 S(8)
goal must be to recognize that prayer will bring an answer S 1 D 3 S(8)
4. It is apparent that this step cannot be reached S 1 D 4 S(8)
lie only in the recognition that the guilt has gone. And S 1 D 6 S(8)
have done. Do not forget that it is you who did S 1 D 6 S(9)
Christ. Be this to him, that you may see him thus S 1 D 6 S(9)
is not easy to realize that prayers for things, for status S 1 D 7 S(9)
too, are used for goals that substitute for God, and therefore S 1 D 7 S(9)
lose the only true goal that is given him. Think of S 1 D 7 S(9)
share in prayer, for until that point, each one must ask S 1 E 1 S(9)
it is likely at first that what is asked for even S 1 E 2 S(9)
prayer is not the goal that prayer

S 1 E 2 S(9)
for specifics, and not realize that they are asking for effects S 1 E 2 S(10)
chosen remedy from every choice that stood for a mistake. What S 1 E 3 S(10)
now so far exceeds all that you asked before that it S 1 E 3 S(10)
all that you asked before that it is pitiful to be S 1 E 3 S(10)
in just the little space that lasts until it crumbles into S 1 E 4 S(10)
last to grace the mind that thought it was alone and S 1 F 1 S(10)
because it does not claim that you must rule the universe S 1 F 1 S(10)
but in honesty and recognition that they did not serve. S 1 F 1 S(10)
God, whose purity it recognizes that it shares with him. Now S 1 F 2 S(11)
unchangeable. Behold the greatest help that God ordained to be with S 2 A 1 S(12)
sin, no crime, no guilt that it can find and love S 2 B 2 S(12)
has become a twisted knife that would destroy the holy Son S 2 B 2 S(13)
for doing this? Then learn that God has given you a S 2 B 3 S(13)
there, and not in you. That is why forgiveness of another S 2 B 4 S(13)
the world; the only one that does not lead to death S 2 B 4 S(13)
a remedy for all illusions that they think they see. Christ S 2 B 6 S(13)
of shadows. His the eyes that look past error to the S 2 B 6 S(14)
and yet the only one that you can make. God calls S 2 B 8 S(14)
re-uniting with the ceaseless song that all creation sings unto its S 2 B 8 S(14)
Therefore we make distinctions, so that prayer can be released from S 2 B 9 S(15)
it remaining, if the plan that God established for returning be S 2 B 9 S(15)
charity. Yet all the forms that it may take have but S 2 C 1 S(15)
lordliness so far from love that arrogance could never be dislodged S 2 C 2 S(15)
better. Now he merely says that here is one whose sinfulness S 2 C 3 S(16)
s creation and the holiness that is His gift forever. Can S 2 C 3 S(16)
sin. Such is the witness that it offers one who could S 2 C 5 S(16)
the guilt and heavy-laid reproach that thus is put upon him S 2 C 5 S(16)
All forms forgiveness takes that do not lead away from S 2 C 8 S(17)
every kind are death. For that is what their purposes have S 2 C 8 S(17)
argue, nor evaluate the errors that it wants to overlook. It S 2 D 1 S(17)
to answer for you. All that you need do is to S 2 D 2 S(18)
what the form should be that His forgiveness takes. He knows S 2 D 3 S(18)
Him, and know at last that condemnation is not real and S 2 D 4 S(18)
it matters not the form that dreams may seem to take S 2 D 4 S(18)
release, and it is this that answers to his call. Forgive S 2 D 5 S(18)
what to do, in words that you can understand and you S 2 D 5 S(18)
Still does He know, and that should be enough. Forgiveness has S 2 D 7 S(19)
effect for cause, nor think that sickness is apart and separate S 3 B 1 S(20)
shadow of an evil thought that seems to have reality and S 3 B 1 S(20)
and witnesses to unforgiving thoughts that injure and would hurt the S 3 B 1 S(20)
effect of true forgiveness. Only that can give remembrance of immortality S 3 B 3 S(20)
by a mind which understands that it must overlook all shadows S 3 B 3 S(20)
seen as one. Nothing but that; the sign of judgment made S 3 B 3 S(20)
21) and forgot that it is he who gave S 3 B 3 S(21)
a kind of seeming death that has a different source. It S 3 C 2 S(21)
without blinders, in the light that we

S 3 C 3 S(21)
does not come in forms that seem to be thrust down S 3 C 4 S(22)
be fostered by the healing that the world cannot conceive. There S 3 C S(22)
to enter in the home that stands ready to welcome him S 3 C 7 S(23)
removed the curse of sin that lies on it. Therefore it S 3 D 1 S(23)
himself, for it is this that makes true healing possible. When S 3 D 1 S(23)
false, there is some power that another has, not equally bestowed S 3 D 1 S(23)
arisen to obscure the unity that is the Son of God S 3 D 1 S(23)
of any form of healing that is based on inequality of S 3 D 2 S(24)
remedy for pain. How can that be? True healing cannot come S 3 D 3 S(24)
and to calm the mind that suffers from the agony of S 3 D 3 S(24)
a role for healing, then, that one can use to offer S 3 D 4 S(24)
It is like the role that helps in prayer, and lets S 3 D 4 S(24)
bearer of the special gift that brings the healing. You but S 3 D 4 S(24)
dispelled, and it was this that made him sick. There is S 3 D 4 S(24)
recognize their Source, and understand that all their Source creates is S 3 D 5 S(24)
them. This is the remedy that brings relief which cannot fail S 3 D 5 S(24)
as it is. And in that place is written now the S 3 D 5 S(24)
they share because they know that this is what He wills S 3 E 1 S(25)
and answers. You have understood that you forgive yourself and pray S 3 E 4 S(26)
with your Source, and understood that you have never left. This S 3 E 4 S(26)
a savage world with feet that bleed, and with a heavy S 3 E 6 S(27)
made hard against the Love that is the truth in you S 3 E 6 S(27)
love, who does not understand that he is healed, and that S 3 E 7 S(27)
that he is healed, and that his prayer has never ceased S 3 E 7 S(27)
defeat there is a Voice that speaks to you of Me S 3 E 7 S(27)
little life beset with fear, that ends so soon it might S 3 E 8 S(27)
How dear is every gift that you have given Me, who S 3 E 9 S(27)
Me. I ask but this; that you be comforted and live S 3 E 10 S(28)
form in the misshapen mind that spawned it has any meaning G 1 A 1 G(1)
first there must be certainty that there can be no love G 1 A 2 G(1)
love where fear exists, and that the world will never give G 1 A 2 G(1)
will never give a gift that is not made of fear G 1 A 2 G(1)
safely, and without a care that would arrest its progress. Dreams G 1 A 3 G(1)
no person, thing, or circumstance that you can value as your G 1 A 3 G(1)
you. And you will think that God has ceased to care G 1 A 3 G(1)
world? For it is sure that one must lie. There is G 1 A 4 G(1)
the two without the fear that every dream must bring. How G 1 A 4 G(2)
no cost for any gift that comes to you from God G 1 A 5 G(2)
gave them. Do not think that fear can enter where His G 1 A 5 G(2)
your sight with gross distortions that the world thinks real. G 1 A 5 G(2)
all its ways), the hell that hides the memory of God G 1 A 6 G(2)
you and the sweet release that God would offer you. He G 1 A 7 G(2)
one as well is everything that fear has made to be G 1 A 7 G(2)
can offer promises some joy that it will never give. And G 1 A 7 G(3)
will never give. And everything that God has promised you will G 1 A 7 G(3)
will not be a change that eyes can see, nor will G 1 A 8 G(3)
of dreams and every thought that rests on nothingness. G G 1 A 8 G(3)
to God, Who asks but that you walk with me and G 1 A 9 G(3)
God. There is no way that we can go alone. But G 1 A 10 G(3)
fail. For His the Word that makes us one in Him G 1 A 10 G(3)
Him, and mine the Voice that speaks this Word to you G 1 A 10 G(3)
little, cruel offerings for those that Heaven gives and God would G 2 A 1 G(4)
give all things to me that you have held against your G 2 A 1 G(4)
these worthless things the instant that you see them through my G 2 A 1 G(4)
them now to be but that, and nothing more than that G 2 A 1 G(4)
that, and nothing more than that. G 2 A 2 G 2 A 1 G(4)
beside the gifts of God that He has placed upon the G 2 A 2 G(4)
of pain from willing hands that would be laid in mine G 2 A 2 G(4)
thank You for these gifts that we have found together. Here G 2 A 3 G(4)
have nothing else. Each hand that finds its way to mine G 2 A 3 G(4)
G(5) Name, that You have not forgotten. What G 2 A 3 G(5)
veil be drawn away so that its lack of substance can G 3 A 2 G(6)
far behind, if he believed that it was but a dream G 3 A 2 G(6)
dream. Yet if he thinks that he must first go through G 3 A 2 G(6)
over others? What is there that is your special gift within G 3 A 3 G(6)
is only from the dreams that you have need of saving G 3 A 4 G(7)
But you cannot go past that first dream without a Savior’s G 3 A 4 G(7)
your mind by showing you that it is but a dream G 3 A 4 G(7)
I am not a dream that comes in mockery. Salvation needs G 3 A 5 G(7)
My call to you is that you offer help from all G 3 A 6 G(7)
God imagines, from the time that first of dreams was given G 3 A 6 G(7)
heal, and give the gifts that you accept of me. G 3 A 6 G(7)
dispelled forever. Do not think that anything the gifts of fear G 3 A 7 G(8)
from Creator, so He understands that you are part of God G 3 A 7 G(8)
so holy and so pure that it encompasses all truth, and G 3 A 8 G(8)
betray a love so perfect that its gifts become Itself in G 3 A 8 G(8)
let creation be again all that it always was and still G 3 A 8 G(8)
a silence covering the world that was an ancient dream so G 3 A 9 G(8)
gives, and it is this that is the truth in you G 3 A 10 G(8)
gate, and call with me that everyone may come and step G 3 A 10 G(9)
rest. Here is the peace that God intended for the Child G 3 A 10 G(9)
is no gift of faith that God does not accept with G 4 A 1 G(10)
must also speak of those that you can give to Him G 4 A 2 G(10)
Him. For it is these that render His giving, complete, as G 4 A 2 G(10)
it is His to you that make you whole. Giving is G 4 A 2 G(10)
place which needs a light that you can offer Him? He G 4 A 4 G(10)
both to both who know that they are one: a key G 4 A 4 G(10)
Holy Spirit’s help, an invitation that He enter in and lift G 4 A 4 G(10)
how to give a gift that God and all creation will G 4 A 4 G(11)
means? What gifts are there that you can give to God G 4 A 6 G(11)
again. It seems to you that you are helping them if G 4 A 6 G(11)
This is the only lesson that the world must teach in G 4 A 7 G(11)
But do not think that their mistakes were not your G 4 A 8 G(12)
one, be yours the voice that echoes what the Voice for G 4 A 8 G(12)
love, And God is asking that We place them there. There G 4 A 8 G(12)
yourself? And what is there that you would rather give, for G 4 A 9 G(12)
give, for what is there that you would rather have? You G 4 A 9 G(12)
you really are. What but that memory is dear to you G 4 A 9 G(12)
return the gift of love that He has given you, and G 4 A 9 G(12)
forget the gifts it gives that it would have you keep G 4 A 10 G(12)
and bonded with a seal that cannot break. He loves you G 5 A 2 G(13)
love complete a golden circle that will never end, a song G 5 A 2 G(13)
will never end, a song that will be sung throughout all G 5 A 2 G(13)
for this the only language that we know. Remember love, so G 5 A 4 G(14)
Love. Forget all things except that I am here. G 5 A 4 G(14)
