T13D15 "But if he could but realize the war is between forces that are real and UNREAL powers, he could look upon himself, and SEE his freedom."

T13G4 "Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and EVERYTHING beside it is not there."

T13I3 "Atonement becomes real and visible, to them that USE it."

T14D1 "In union, everything that is not real MUST disappear, for truth IS union."

T14D2 "But it CAN be recognized or unrecognized, real or false, to YOU."

T14E2 "Its changelessness is WHAT MAKES IT REAL."

T15H3 "For, having been made REAL to you, it is essential to look at it clearly, and, by withdrawing your INVESTMENT in it, to LEARN TO LET IT GO."

T15H3 "The host of God CAN have no REAL investment here."

T15H13 "And He will do so, for the power of God in Him AND YOU is joined in REAL relationship, so holy and so strong, that it can overcome even this, WITHOUT fear."

T15I8 "Yet it remains the ONLY means by which you CAN establish real relationships."

T15I9 "Real relationships HAVE no limits, having been established by God."

T15J3 "When you are willing to accept OUR relationship AS REAL, guilt will hold NO attraction for you."

T15J8 "But the REAL price of NOT accepting this has been so great, that you have GIVEN GOD AWAY, rather than look at it."

T16A4 "Do NOT use empathy to MAKE THE PAST REAL, and so perpetuate it."

T16B4 "Only the Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs, AS WELL AS real ones."

T16C6 "Yet your relationship with Him IS real, and HAS been demonstrated."

T16D4 "You have been VERY careful to avoid the obvious, and NOT to see the REAL cause and effect relationship that is PERFECTLY apparent."

T16D5 "They are QUITE real, and part of the self you do not know."

T16D6 "For nothing real has ever left the mind of its Creator."

T16D6 "And what is NOT real was NEVER there."

T16E7 "And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt to bring love into fear, and MAKE IT REAL IN FEAR."

T16E7 "It is essential that we look VERY closely at exactly what it is you THINK you can do, to solve a dilemma which seems very real to you, but which does not exist."

T16G2 "The holy instant is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the attraction of guilt, the REAL lure in the special relationship."

T16G2 "You do NOT recognize that this IS its REAL appeal, for the ego has taught you that FREEDOM lies in it."

T16G8 "And you cannot keep PART of the thought-system that taught you it WAS real, and understand the Thought that REALLY knows what you are."

T16H2 "It HAS no meaning in the present, and, if it means nothing NOW, it cannot have any REAL meaning at all."

T16H10 "Remember that you ALWAYS choose between truth and illusion, between the REAL Atonement that would heal, and the ego's "atonement," that would destroy."

T16H11 "To join in close relationship with Him, is to accept relationships AS REAL."

T17B3 "When you try to bring TRUTH to illusions, you are trying to MAKE THEM REAL, and KEEP them by JUSTIFYING your belief in them."

T17C2 "It is the real world, bright, and clean and new, with everything sparkling under the open sun."

T17C3 "The real world, in its loveliness, YOU learn to reach."

T17C3 "And, with this final blessing of God's Son UPON HIMSELF, the REAL perception, born of the new perspective he has learned, has served its purpose."

T17C4 "The perception of the real world will be so short, that you will barely have time to thank God for it."

T17C4 "For God will take the last step swiftly, when you have reached the real world, and have been made ready for Him."

T17C5 "The real world is attained simply by the COMPLETE forgiveness of the old; the world you see WITHOUT forgiveness."

T17C5 "In the light of the REAL reason that He brings, as you follow Him, He will SHOW you that there is NO reason here at all."

T17C6 "For forgiveness literally TRANSFORMS vision, and lets you see the real world, reaching quietly and gently across chaos, and removing all illusions that had twisted your perception, and fixed it on the past."

T17C7 "It will GIVE you the real world, trembling with readiness to BE given you."

T17C7 "Go out in gladness to meet with your Redeemer, and walk with Him, in trust, out of this world, and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness."

T17D12 "The spark of beauty, or the veil of ugliness; the real world, or the world of guilt and fear; truth or illusion; freedom or slavery, - it is all the same."

T17E1 "God established His relationship with you TO MAKE YOU HAPPY, and nothing YOU do which does NOT share His purpose CAN be real."

T17E1 "Whatever fulfills this function NOT, CANNOT BE REAL."

T17E3 "You have VERY REAL relationships, even in this world, which you do not recognize, simply because you have raised their SUBSTITUTES to such predominance that, when truth calls to you, as it does constantly, YOU ANSWER WITH A SUBSTITUTE."

T17E14 "And now, by REAL comparison, a TRANSFORMATION of both pictures can at last occur."

T17E14 "And what you SEE there, YOU will recognize as what it is; a picture of what YOU THOUGHT WAS REAL, and nothing more."

T17F1 "The holy relationship, a MAJOR step toward the perception of the real world, is LEARNED."

T17I6 "And you had faith in it, for no-one accepts what he does NOT believe is REAL."

T18B5 "Their tiny differences in form are not REAL differences at all."

T18C1 "Does not a world that seems quite real arise in dreams?"

T18C4 "And thus is guilt MADE REAL."

T18C5 "And WHILE you see it, you do NOT doubt that it is real."

T18C6 "Your WISH to make another world that is NOT real, REMAINS with you."

T18C8 "But He does use it differently, as a help to make HIS purpose REAL to you."

T18C11 "In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world; the world of happy dreams, from which awaking is so easy and so natural."

T18C11 "For, as your sleeping and your waking dreams represent the same wishes in YOUR mind, so do the real world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will of God."

T18G5 "For your wish to make destructive what CANNOT destroy, can have no REAL effect at all."

T18H3 "Only its past and future make it seem real."

T18J6 "The body will remain guilt's messenger, and will act as it directs, as long as YOU believe that guilt is real."

T18J8 "Figures stand out and move about, actions seem real, and forms appear and shift from loveliness to the grotesque."

T18J8 "Yet, however long you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you bring to it, you do NOT confuse it with the world below, nor seek to make it real."

T18J9 "This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world, where guilt meets with forgiveness."

T18K1 "We need remember only that whoever attains the real world, beyond which learning cannot go, WILL go beyond it, but in a different way."

T19A2 "It is this JOINING Him in a UNITED purpose that MAKES this purpose real, because YOU make it WHOLE."

T19B11 "Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real world."

T19C2 "Sin is the proclamation that attack is real, and guilt is JUSTIFIED."

T19D2 "For what you think is real YOU WANT, and will NOT let it go."

T19D8 "When you are tempted to believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God AND YOU are not."

T19D8 "If sin is real, God must be at war WITHIN HIMSELF."

T19D10 "If sin were real it would forever be beyond the hope of healing."

T19E6 "Guilt can raise no REAL barriers against it."

T19F10 "But you can LIVE to show it is not REAL."

T19J7 "And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of God, and think it REAL?"

T19J8 "The fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's REAL attraction."

T19L2 "No-one can look upon the fear of God unterrified, unless he has ACCEPTED the Atonement, and learned illusions are not real."

T20D5 "But judgment lays a sentence on it, JUSTIFIES it, and MAKES IT REAL."

T20G1 "His REAL relationship is one of perfect union, and unbroken continuity."

T20G13 "YOU HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP."

T20G13 "It is as like your real relationship with God, as equal things are like themselves."

T20H5 "The body IS the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real."

T20H7 "The means seem real because the GOAL is valued."

T20H8 "Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him WILL seem real there."

T20I3 "For peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, SHARED with the Holy Spirit, and at one with Him on what salvation IS."

T21C9 "There is no better demonstration of the power of wanting, and therefore of FAITH, to make its goals seem real and possible."

T21C10 "And so he seems to BE the cause, producing real EFFECTS."

T21D4 "Through them, the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world, and AWAY from all illusions where your faith was laid."

T21G4 "For they BELIEVE they see the body, and LET their madness tell them it is real."

T21G5 "But madness has a purpose, and believes it also has the means to make its purpose real."

T21H11 "And therefore those who look on sin ARE seeing the DENIAL of the real world."

T21H11 "Yet the last question adds the WISH FOR CONSTANCY in your desire to see the real world, so the desire becomes the ONLY one you have."

T21H13 "Desire what you will, and you shall look on it, and think it real."

T22A2 "It is this DIFFERENCE, seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified."

T22A2 "And all this WOULD be real, if sin were so."

T22C3 "Yet, if the change be real and not IMAGINED, illusions MUST give way to truth, and not to other dreams which are but equally unreal."

T22C4 "ONE illusion, cherished and defended AGAINST the truth, makes ALL truth meaningless and ALL illusions real."

T22D2 "For reason SEES THROUGH errors, telling you what you THOUGHT was real is not."

T22D7 "And, IF you see it, you MUST be mistaken, for you are seeing what can NOT be real, as if it WERE."

T22D9 "And so it MUST become impossible for each to see HIMSELF as causing sin, by his DESIRE to have sin real."

T22G12 "And that is WHY it has not happened, nor COULD be real."

T23B2 "And to those who think that it is possible, the means seem real."

T23B9 "For it seems real ONLY as long as it is seen as war between CONFLICTING truths, the conqueror to be the truer, the MORE real, the VANQUISHER of the illusion that was less real, MADE an illusion by defeat."

T23B9 "For conflict is the choice BETWEEN illusions, one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised."

T23C5 "And fear of God, and of each other, now appears as sensible, made real by what the Son of God has done, both to himself AND his Creator."

T23C16 "To be believed, its SEEMING laws must be perceived as REAL."

T23E5 "Here, in the midst of it, it DOES seem real."

T23E5 "And the perspective COMING FROM this choice shows you the battle is NOT real, and easily escaped."

T24C3 "Specialness is the idea of sin MADE REAL."

T24C8 "He IS the enemy of specialness, but ONLY friend to what is real in you."

T24C9 "Here, in this holy place, does truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing, and in peace so real and so encompassing that NOTHING stands outside."

T24E1 "Whatever gentleness it offers is but deception, but its hate is real."

T24E5 "All that is real proclaims his sinlessness."

T24E5 "All that is false proclaims his sins as real."

T24F1 "WISHING MAKES REAL, as surely as does Will create."

T25D2 "NOT that the world where this reflection is, is real at all."

T25D3 "For specialness it is the perfect frame to set it off; the perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter for the illusions which it would make real."

T25H6 "Sin is not real BECAUSE the Father and the Son are NOT insane."

T25H12 "But what IS this belief, except a form of the more basic tenet, "Sin is real, and rules the world?""

T25I5 "Fairness AND vengeance are impossible, for each one contradicts the other, and denies that it is real."

T26D3 "We have referred to it as the "real world.""

T26D4 "In the real world, is choosing simplified."

T26D5 "The real world is the area of choice made real, NOT in the outcome, but in the perception of alternatives FOR choice."

T26E1 "And thus is he returned to his REAL function of creating, which his forgiveness offers him again."

T26F2 "It is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the world."

T26F6 "How REAL a hindrance can this dream be to where he really IS?"

T26F7 "And everything which points to it as real is but a wish that what is gone could be made real again, and seen as here and now, in place of what is REALLY now and here."

T26F10 "Sometimes the past seems real, as if it WERE the present."

T26F11 "The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are real, and have existence which can be perceived."

T26G1 "NOT because it has the power to hurt, but just because YOU have denied it is but an illusion, AND MADE IT REAL."

T26G1 "And it IS real to you."

T26G1 "For no-one can make one illusion real, and still escape the rest."

T26H2 "Kept APART from truth, it SEEMS to have a meaning and be real."

T26H5 "Yet the belief that it is real has made some errors seem forever PAST the hope of healing, and the lasting grounds for hell."

T26H5 "If this were so, would Heaven be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it."

T26H11 "Here is the firm conviction that ideas CAN leave their source made real and meaningful."

T27B5 "Its ONLY purpose is TO PROVE GUILT REAL."

T27B5 "Depression speaks of death and vanity of real concern with anything at all."

T27B7 "These are NOT sins, but witnesses unto the strange belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike, within the termination of the grave."

T27C2 "Yet no-one CAN forgive a sin which he believes is real."

T27C2 "And what has consequences MUST be real, because what it has DONE is there to see."

T27C4 "Forgiveness is not real UNLESS it brings a healing to your brother AND yourself."

T27C4 "YOU must attest his sins had no effect on YOU, to demonstrate they were not real."

T27D4 "No preparation CAN be made that would enhance the invitation's real appeal."

T27E4 "It asks but to ESTABLISH sin is real, and answers in the form of preference."

T27F8 "But that it HAS been made, IN SPITE of all the differences you see, convinces YOU that they could not be real."

T27G1 "Pain demonstrates the body must be real."

T27G1 "Its purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are means TO MAKE THE BODY REAL."

T27G3 "You cannot choose AMONG them which are real, for any one you choose is like the rest."

T27G4 "He KNOWS it is not real."

T27G4 "Each miracle He brings is witness that the body is NOT real."

T27H11 "Yet was it started by your SECRET dream, which you do NOT perceive, although it CAUSED the part you see and do not doubt is real."

T27H11 "How COULD you doubt it, while you lie asleep, and dream in secret that its CAUSE is real?"

T27I2 "The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the body seeks in many ways to PROVE it is autonomous and real."

T27I4 "But who REACTS to figures in a dream, UNLESS he sees them as if they were real?"

T27I4 "The INSTANT that he sees them as they ARE, they HAVE no more effects on him BECAUSE he understands he GAVE them their effects BY CAUSING THEM, and MAKING them seem real."

T27I5 "No-one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body, and could never have conceived this world as real."

T27I6 "In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real effects."

T28C6 "You may cause a dream, but never will you give it real EFFECTS."

T28D2 "If you WITHHOLD agreement, and accept the part YOU play in making sickness real, the other mind cannot project its guilt without your aid in LETTING it perceive itself as separate and apart from YOU."

T28E2 "And what is real and what is but illusion IN YOURSELF you do not know and cannot tell apart."

T28F2 "It is the SHARING of the evil dreams, of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering, of pain and loss, that makes them real."

T28F6 "Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen within the gap that YOU imagined, and let THEM persuade their maker his imaginings were real."

T28F7 "The world you see does not exist BECAUSE the place where you perceive it is not real."

T29B5 "There IS a wariness that is aroused by learning that the body is not real."

T29H5 "No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message OTHER than an idol found, which represents a parody of life which, in its lifelessness, is really death, conceived as real and given living form."

T29H7 "And CAN a dream succeed in making real the pictures it projects outside itself?"

T29I3 "An idol is a wish, made tangible and given form, and thus perceived as real, and seen OUTSIDE the mind."

T29I4 "He can take NO form in which he EVER will be real."

T29J4 "But they are eager to forget that they made up the dream in which their toys are real, and recognize their wishes are their own."

T29J5 "Their toys have turned against the child who thought he made them real."

T29J5 "Yet do they KEEP his thoughts alive and real, but seen OUTSIDE himself, where they can turn against him for his treachery to them."

T29J5 "He thinks he NEEDS them that he may escape his thoughts, because he thinks the THOUGHTS are real."

T29J6 "Yet is the real world unaffected by the world he thinks is real."

T29J7 "The real world still is but a dream."

T30E5 "Attack HAS power to make illusions real."

T30E5 "Who could be made fearful by a power that can have no REAL effects at all?"

T30E6 "His ONE mistake is that he thinks them real."

T30F1 "The real world is the state of mind in which the ONLY purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness."

T30F4 "Even the real world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity."

T30F4 "The real world still falls short of this, for this is God's Own Purpose; ONLY His, and yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled."

T30F5 "The real world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go when they are still perceived, but wanted not."

T30F5 "Thus is the real world's purpose gently brought into awareness, to REPLACE the goal of sin and guilt."

T30F6 "When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand ALREADY at the edge of the real world."

T30G1 "Here is the real world given in exchange for dreams of terror."

T30G2 "You do NOT forgive the unforgivable, nor overlook a REAL attack that calls for punishment."

T30G2 "Salvation does not lie in being asked to make unnatural responses, which are inappropriate to what is real."

T30G2 "Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what is NOT real, by not perceiving what has not occurred."

T30G3 "This understanding is the ONLY change that lets the real world rise to take the place of dreams of terror."

T30G3 "And if it HAD a real foundation, pardon could have none."

T30G3 "The real world is achieved when you perceive the basis of FORGIVENESS is quite real and fully justified."

T30G4 "And recognizing God is just, it seems impossible His pardon COULD be real."

T30G6 "And thus you think that SOME appearances are real, and not appearances at all."

T30G7 "Its purpose cannot be to judge which FORMS are real, and which APPEARANCES are true."

T30G9 "Here is the joyful statement that there are NO forms of evil which can overcome the Will of God; the glad acknowledgment that guilt has NOT succeeded, by your wish, to make illusions real."

T30I1 "For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it real again."

T30I1 "It is this that MAKES it real, and KEEPS it separate from all appearances."

T30I3 "What is temptation but a wish to make illusions real?"

T31A5 "It was NOT made to do the Will of God, but to uphold a wish that It COULD be opposed, and that a will APART from It was yet more real than It."

T31D2 "Real choice is no illusion."

T31D5 "Who would be willing to be turned AWAY from all the roadways of the world, UNLESS he understood their real futility?"

T31D5 "The learning that the world can offer but ONE choice, no matter what its form may be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a REAL alternative instead."

T31D7 "There IS a choice which you have power to make, when you have seen the real alternatives."

T31E6 "But they can NOT be used to demonstrate the world is real."

T31F1 "If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite."

T31F1 "What you decide in this determines all you see, and think is real, and hold as true."

T31G14 "Consider what temptation is, and see the real alternatives you choose between."

T31H2 "And what you choose is what you think is real."

T31H3 "His holiness is yours because He is the ONLY power that is real in you."

W4L2 "None of them represent your real thoughts, which are being covered up by them."

W8L3 "Recognizing that your mind has been merely blank, rather than believing that it is filled with real ideas, is the first step to opening the way to vision."

W10L1 "The reason the idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real thoughts."

W14L4 "God did not create it, and so it is not real."

W14L4 "Say, for example: "God did not create that war, and so it is not real.""

W14L4 ""God did not create that airplane crash, and so it is not real.""

W14L4 ""God did not create that disaster (specify) so it is not real.""

W14L4 ""God did not create that illness (specify with name of person) and so it is not real.""

W14L7 "He did not create (specify the situation which is disturbing you), and so it is not real.""

W15L2 "That is the beginning of real vision."

W15L2 "You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when this has occurred."

W20L5 "Do not be distressed if you forget to do so, but make a real effort to remember."

W20L5 "Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the world."

W22L2 "Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real?"

W26L1 "You see attack as a real threat."

W27L4 "The real question is how often will you remember?"

W28L5 "Hidden under all your ideas about it is its real purpose, the purpose it shares with all the universe."

W30L4 "Real vision is not limited to concepts such as "near" and "far.""

W30L4 "Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body's eyes at all."

W41L2 "Yet its effects cannot be cured because it is not real."

W41L3 "It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to these beliefs."

W41L6 "Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond."

W43L3 "If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit's purpose, then you cannot see apart from God."

W45L1 "Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are."

W45L1 "There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real."

W45L1 "Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect."

W45L3 "Where, then, are your real thoughts?"

W45L4 "We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real."

W45L6 "After you have added some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself gently: "My real thoughts are in my mind."

W47L4 "Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength."

W47L6 "You must also gain an awareness that your confidence in your real strength is fully justified in every respect and in all circumstances."

W47L7 "In the latter phase of the practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety."

W49L4 "Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God."

W49L4 "We are trying to reach your real home."

W51L4 "What I call "my" thoughts are not my real thoughts."

W51L4 "My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God."

W53L1 "I can therefore see a real world, if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing."

W53L2 "I am grateful that this world is not real, and that I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it."

W53L3 "But such a world is not real."

W53L4 "He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind."

W53L5 "The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see."

W54L1 "They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one."

W54L1 "As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected."

W54L3 "I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everybody."

W54L3 "As my thoughts of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them."

W54L3 "And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as mine."

W54L5 "I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one."

W55L5 "To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real."

W55L5 "Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose."

W55L5 "Let me open my mind to its real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the truth about it."

W56L1 "My own real thoughts will teach me what it is."

W58L1 "From my holiness does the perception of the real world come."

W61L3 "This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth."

W66L4 "Our longer practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is there a very real connection between the function God gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical."

W69L2 "Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you."

W69L3 "Let us begin our longer practice period today with the full realization of all this, and real determination to reach what is dearer to us than all else."

W70L6 "Then devote a few minutes with your eyes closed, to reviewing some of the external places where you have looked for salvation in the past, - in other people, in possessions, in various situations and events, and in self-concepts which you sought to make real."

W70L8 "Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to remain in the clouds looking vainly for idols there, when you could so easily walk on into the light of real salvation."

W71L6 "There can be no real conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will save you."

W72L5 "In fact, if the body were real, it would be difficult indeed to escape this conclusion."

W72L5 "And every grievance that you hold insists that the body is real."

W73L1 "They make nothing that is real."

W74L4 "My conflicts about ____ cannot be real.""

W75L4 "Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last."

W75L9 "Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision, and the sight of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real."

W77L6 "We are asking a real question at last."

W88L5 "They have no real effect on me at all."

W91L7 "You need a real experience of something else, something more solid and more sure; more worthy of your faith, and really there."

W96L4 "Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real."

W96L7 "Salvation cannot make illusions real, and solve a problem which does not exist."

W96L9 "These are your own real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to find illusions in their place."

W99L3 "The mind which sees illusions thinks them real."

W99L3 "And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks these thoughts is separate from God."

W99L4 "What but a Thought of God could be this plan by which the never done is overlooked, and sins forgotten which were never real?"

W99L5 "Yet it operates in time because of your belief that time is real."

W99L8 "It does not think its solitary thoughts and make them real by hiding them from Him."

W101L1 "Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real, and that God's Son can sin."

W101L2 "If sin is real then punishment is just, and cannot be escaped."

W101L2 "If sin is real then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true."

W101L3 "If sin is real, salvation must be pain."

T5I11 "Do you REALLY believe that you can plan for your safety and joy better than He can?"

T5I16 "If he will learn this NOW, he will be willing in accord with the last judgment, which is really only the Biblical reminder of the inevitability of self-INCLUSION."

T5I16 "This is what "Physician, heal thyself" really means."

T6B1 "But we know that nothing can be really explained only in negative terms."

T6B8 "But yet I know that they cannot really betray themselves or me, and that it is still on them that I MUST build my church."

T6B16 "Nor could they have described my reactions to Judas Iscariot as they did, if they had really understood ME."

T6E3 "You cannot really understand conflict until YOU fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know."

T6E5 "This is perhaps the strangest perception of all, if you consider what it really involves."

T6G11 "This is still a preliminary step, because having and being are still not equated but it is more advanced than the first step, which is really only a thought REVERSAL."

T7C2 "However, its CONTENT is somewhat different in this world from what it REALLY is, because the thoughts it governs are VERY different from the thoughts in the Kingdom."

T7D4 "Therefore, it does not REALLY learn at all."

T7E1 "It is therefore a lesson which you CANNOT REALLY LEARN, and therefore CANNOT REALLY TEACH."

T7E4 "IS IT REALLY A CHOICE?"

T7F11 "If YOU see only the changeless in him, you have not really changed him at all."

T7G9 "Aware of its weakness, the ego wants your allegiance, but NOT as you really are."

T7I4 "Any attempt to keep PART of it and get rid of ANOTHER part does not really mean ANYTHING."

T7J9 "But you do not really BELIEVE this, or you could not possibly maintain it."

T7J9 "If you REALLY saw this result, you COULD not want it."

T7J11 "It is surely clear that you can both accept into your minds what is NOT really there, and DENY WHAT IS."

T7K3 "You REALLY believe that doing the opposite of God's will CAN be better for you."

T7K6 "Sharing His will WITH me is not really open to choice at all, though it may SEEM to be."

T8D8 "This IS your responsibility, because once you have really done this you WILL accept the Atonement for yourself."

T8E6 "I can tell you what to DO, but this will not really help you unless you collaborate by believing that I KNOW what to do."

T8G13 "This releases the mind from the temptation to see it in many lights, and gives it over ENTIRELY to the One Light in which it can be really understood at all."

T8J1 "This could not possibly have occurred unless the mind was already profoundly split, making it possible for IT to be afraid of what it really is."

T8J6 "THIS is really why you persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly teach you your will."

T8J8 "Both really fear both abandonment AND retaliation, but the former is more reactive against abandonment and the latter against retaliation."

T8J14 "Can you REALLY devote yourself to nothing?"

T8K2 "Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the Holy Spirit IS what you really want, but that YOU ARE STILL AFRAID OF IT."

T8K2 "In this case, he is not really asking for RELEASE from fear, but for the removal of a symptom WHICH HE HAS SELECTED."

T9C8 "Yet this question, ridiculous as it seems, is REALLY the crucial issue in the whole separation fantasy."

T9D1 "If he is a psychotherapist, he is more likely to start with the equally incredible idea that HE really believes in attack, and so does the patient, but it does not matter in EITHER case."

T9F5 "You do not yet realize how COMPLETELY different these evaluations are, because you do not understand how lofty the Holy Spirit's perception of you really is."

T9H7 "Is it not possible that you merely shifted from one dream to another without really wakening?"

T9I12 "Are you REALLY afraid of losing THIS?"

T9I12 "Look calmly at the logical conclusion of the ego's thought-system, and judge whether its offering is really what you want, for this IS what it offers you."

T9I16 "Very simply, then, you may BELIEVE you are afraid of nothingNESS, but you are REALLY afraid of NOTHING."

T9K1 "No-one can really DO this, but that you can THINK you can, and BELIEVE YOU HAVE, is beyond dispute."

T10A2 "Yet what would you say to someone who REALLY believed this question involves conflict?"

T10B4 "Do you REALLY believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him?"

T10F9 "The ego can and does allow you to regard yourself as supercilious, unbelieving, "light hearted -," distant, emotionally shallow, callous, uninvolved, and even desperate, BUT NOT REALLY AFRAID."

T11B8 "This is what RECOGNIZING it really means."

T11C6 "And to give a brother what he REALLY wants, is to offer it unto yourself."

T11C10 "IT HIDES WHAT YOU REALLY WANT."

T11C16 "When we have OVERCOME fear, not by hiding it, not by minimizing it, not by denying its full import in ANY way, THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL REALLY SEE."

T11D8 "And why you MUST get rid of it, BEFORE you can perceive the world as it really is."

T11D9 "For if you could REALLY separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you WOULD die."

T11H10 "You cannot REALLY give anything BUT love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive anything else FROM them."

T11H11 "Coming only from God, its power and grandeur could only bring you peace, IF YOU REALLY LOOKED UPON IT."

T11I1 "Do you REALLY believe that you can kill the Son of God?"

T12C1 "You do not LIKE it, but it is NOT your desire to attack which really frightens you."

T12C2 "Under the ego's dark foundation is the memory of God, and it is of THIS that you are really afraid."

T12C4 "THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO HIDE."

T12F1 "In your questioning of delusions, ask yourself if it is REALLY sane to perceive WHAT WAS NOW."

T12G2 "You do not really want the world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began."

T12G10 "For what YOU think you need will merely serve to tighten up your world AGAINST the light, and render you unwilling to question the value that this world can REALLY hold for you."

T12G13 "Whenever you are tempted to undertake a foolish journey that would lead AWAY from light, remember what you REALLY want, and say, "The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go?"

T13D4 "Can you EXPECT to use your brothers as a means to solve the past, and still to see them as they really ARE?"

T14F8 "For you do NOT respond to what a brother REALLY offers you, but only to the particular perception of his offering by which your EGO judges it."

T14G14 "Only those who see they CANNOT know, UNLESS the effects of understanding are with them, can really learn at all."

T15H2 "For the ego REALLY BELIEVES that it can get, and KEEP, by MAKING GUILTY."

T15H6 "For it would much prefer to attack directly, and avoid delaying what it REALLY wants."

T15H9 "For what the ego really, wants you do NOT realize."

T16C5 "Yet can you REALLY believe that all that has happened, EVEN THOUGH you do NOT understand it, HAS NOT HAPPENED?"

T16C5 "And are you REALLY safer in maintaining the UNreality of what has happened, than you would be in joyously accepting it FOR WHAT IT IS, and giving thanks for it?"

T16C10 "Think what you have REALLY seen and heard, and RECOGNIZE it."

T16D4 "It must be this that is REALLY outside yourself, NOT by your own projection, BUT IN TRUTH."

T16D4 "What YOU accept into your minds, does not REALLY change them."

T16F1 "We have spoken of this before, but there are some aspects of what is REALLY being attempted, that we have not touched on."

T16G7 "Delay will hurt you now MORE THAN BEFORE, ONLY because you realize it IS delay, and that escape from pain IS REALLY POSSIBLE."

T16G8 "Nothing you seek to strengthen, in the special relationship, is REALLY part of you."

T16H3 "You cannot REALLY not let go what has ALREADY gone."

T17A1 "Yet what is done in dreams has not been REALLY done."

T17D2 "It is these shadow figures which would MAKE THE EGO HOLY in your sight, and teach you what you do to keep IT safe, is really LOVE."

T17D4 "What can be used for fantasies of vengeance, and what can be most readily associated with those on whom vengeance is REALLY sought, are centered on, and SEPARATED OFF, as being the only parts OF VALUE."

T17D6 "And the LESS the other REALLY brings to it, the 'better' it becomes."

T17E12 "And ONLY on this basis are you REALLY free to choose."

T17F9 "Forget not now the misery you REALLY found."

T17H6 "But what you REALLY blame him for is WHAT YOU DID TO HIM."

T18B3 "Do you REALLY think it strange that a world in which EVERYTHING is backward and upside down, arose from this?"

T18D8 "Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past."

T18G12 "If you will consider what this "transportation" REALLY entails, you will realize that it is a sudden UNawareness of the body, and a joining of your self and SOMETHING ELSE, in which your mind ENLARGES to encompass it."

T18G13 "What REALLY happens is that you have GIVEN UP the illusion of a LIMITED awareness, and lost your fear of union."

T18G15 "You are not really "lifted out" of it; it cannot CONTAIN you."

T18H2 "You have made much progress, and are really trying to make still more, but there is one thing you have never done; not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the body."

T18J3 "It is extremely simple, being based on what this little kingdom really IS."

T19D2 "The ego does not think it possible that love, NOT fear, is really called upon by sin, AND ALWAYS ANSWERS."

T19D2 "For what is deserving punishment, must have been REALLY DONE."

T19D3 "This is not really a change in your perception, for it is SIN that calls for punishment, NOT error."

T19G2 "What has the body REALLY given you, that justifies your strange belief that in it lies salvation?"

T19H5 "It is not REALLY punitive at all."

T19I1 "What seems to be the FEAR of death, is really its ATTRACTION."

T20D5 "Have you wondered what the world is REALLY like?"

T20G9 "Then lay aside the body and quietly TRANSCEND it, rising to welcome what you REALLY want."

T20G12 "The holy instant IS of greater value now to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you HAVE learned you REALLY want but one."

T20H6 "He does not REALLY see him as sinful; he does not see him at all."

T20H9 "Ask only, "Do I REALLY wish to see him sinless?""

T20I8 "What if you REALLY understood you made it up?"

T21B1 "And what it REALLY looks like IS unknown to them."

T21C8 "Be willing, for an instant, to leave your altars free of what YOU placed upon them and what is REALLY there you CANNOT fail to see."

T21H11 "When it is THIS you do NOT want, the rest are really answered."

T21I4 "God has ALREADY given him all that he REALLY wants."

T21I4 "And yet it is the final one that REALLY asks if you are willing to be WHOLLY sane."

T22C3 "You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness which does not last is really fear."

T24C4 "If you think you are, and would defend your specialness against the truth of what you REALLY are, how can you know the truth?"

T25B5 "The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny, mad desire to be separate, different, and special, TO the Christ, to make the Oneness clear to what is REALLY One."

T25B6 "Because His purpose still is One with both the Father AND the Son, He KNOWS the Will of God, and what you REALLY will."

T25D7 "He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace."

T25F4 "If you decide against his proper function, the ONLY one he really has in truth, you are depriving him of all the joy he WOULD have found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him."

T25G6 "And nothing that you THINK you see in it is REALLY there at all."

T25H3 "Yet there is nothing ELSE you COULD believe, if you but looked at what it really IS."

T25I12 "Nor need you look to your experience WITHIN the world, which is but shadows of all that is REALLY happening within yourself."

T25I13 "How can the special REALLY understand that justice is the same for everyone?"

T26D5 "For no-one understands what is the same, and seems to choose where no choice really is."

T26E3 "Who could behold the Face of Christ, and NOT recall His Father as He really is?"

T26F7 "And how much can his own delusions about time and place affect a change in where he REALLY is?"

T26F10 "It MUST draw you from the past into the present, where you really ARE."

T26H11 "Or is it a mistake about your will, and what you REALLY are?"

T26I6 "Nor is there really SENSE in this idea."

T27B3 "It is a picture of a body still, for what you REALLY are can not be seen nor pictured."

T27C1 "And if you forgive him his transgressions, you but ADD to all the guilt that he has really earned."

T27C3 "And, by GIVING it, you grant your brother mercy, but retain the proof he is not REALLY innocent."

T27C13 "Consider how this self perception MUST extend, and do not overlook the fact that EVERY thought extends, because that is its purpose, being what it really IS."

T27F7 "This is because they really ARE the same, DESPITE their different forms."

T27F9 "Leave, then, the transfer of your learning to the One Who REALLY understands its laws, and Who will GUARANTEE that they remain unviolated and unlimited."

T27F10 "Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be FAR less than all there really ARE."

T27H7 "Once you were unaware of what the cause of everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must REALLY be."

T27H10 "But if the choice is REALLY given you, then you must see the causes of the things you choose BETWEEN exactly AS they are and WHERE they are."

T28G4 "The body REPRESENTS the gap between the little bit of mind you call your own, and all the rest of what is REALLY yours."

T29C6 "But what is that except the state confusion really MEANS?"

T29C8 "For it asks that God be LESS than all He really is."

T29D3 "In glory will you see your brother then, and understand what REALLY fills the gap so long perceived as keeping you apart."

T29I1 "For idols are unrecognized as such, and never seen for what they really are."

T29I8 "It does not really matter more of what, - more beauty, more intelligence, more wealth; or even more affliction and more pain."

T30B4 "This cancels out the terms which you have set, and lets the ANSWER show you what the question MUST have really been."

T30B4 "And you will not get it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what you REALLY want."

T30B7 " Now you have changed your mind about the day, and have REMEMBERED what you really want."

T30B9 "The only question really is WITH WHAT you choose to make them."

T30B9 "That is really all."

T30D5 "But what is REALLY asked for CANNOT be denied."

T30F1 "Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as they really are."

T30G1 "For this would mean that you forgive a sin by overlooking what is REALLY there."

T30H2 "What have you really done, except to show there WAS no meaning there?"

T30H5 "How can communication REALLY be established, while the symbols which are used mean different things?"

T30H7 "And they are NOT in line with what you really are."

T30I6 "This will you look upon, when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your brother really IS."

T31A5 "Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice of Truth, and teach you that Its lessons are not true; too hard to learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to what is REALLY true."

T31A9 "But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is."

T31B2 "Thus is it really not a choice at all."

T31B7 "Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen silently, and learn the truth of what you really want."

T31D3 "Perhaps you would prefer to try them all, before you REALLY learn they are but one."

T31D5 "The great RELEASE of power must begin with learning where it really HAS a use."

T31F4 "It matters not where you believe you are, or what you think the truth about yourself must really be."

T31G11 "He BRINGS the light to what he looks upon, that he may see it as it really is."

W3L2 "The point of the exercises is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand about them."

W7L2 "This first time idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first."

W7L3 "Do you, then, really see it?"

W8L1 "No one really sees anything."

W8L2 "The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything."

W8L3 "The purpose of the exercises for today is to begin to train your mind to recognize when it is not really thinking at all."

W9L1 "You do not need to practice what you really understand."

W10L3 "This is merely another way of repeating our earlier statement that your mind is really a blank."

W13L1 "Today's idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that it is more specific as to the emotion aroused."

W13L5 "Whatever form such resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a thought because of the "vengeance" of the "enemy.""

W14L2 "If you do, it will be because you really understand what they are for."

W16L3 "We will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it."

W17L1 "This idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as it really operates."

W17L1 "It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other way around."

W17L3 "Regardless of what you may believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and really joyous."

W17L3 "That is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really true and therefore really happy."

W19L1 "Thinking and its results are really simultaneous, for cause and effect are never separate."

W20L4 "Therefore, as you repeat the idea, you are stating that you are determined to change your present state for a better one, and one you really want."

W21L3 "Remember that you do not really recognize what really arouses anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything."

W22L3 "At the end of each practice period, ask yourself: "Is this the world I really want to see?""

W25L3 "Since you have no personal interests, your goals are really concerned with nothing."

W26L1 "That is because you believe that you can really attack."

W27L1 "You may feel hesitant about using the idea on the ground that you are not sure you really mean it."

W28L1 "Today we are really giving specific application to the idea for yesterday."

W28L2 "You see a lot of separate things about you, which really means you are not seeing at all."

W28L6 "In using the table as a subject for applying the idea for today you are therefore really asking to see the purpose of the universe."

W35L3 "By establishing your Source it establishes your identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth."

W40L2 "You can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really want to."

W49L2 "It is really the only part there is."

W52L5 "Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless "private" thoughts?"

W53L4 "Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where I really abide."

W57L3 "It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free."

W64L4 "Therefore every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether to be happy or not."

W64L5 "Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you will make today by remembering that they are all really very simple."

W64L5 "Can such a simple decision really be difficult to make?"

W65L3 "Today, and for a number of days to follow, set aside ten to fifteen minutes for a more sustained practice period in which you try to understand and accept what today's idea really means."

W65L7 "Finally, repeat the idea for today once more and devote the rest of the practice period to trying to focus on its importance to you; the relief its acceptance will bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you really want salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the contrary."

W66L1 "This is because you do not really see the connection."

W66L8 "Does the ego really have gifts to give, being itself an illusion and offering only the illusion of gifts?"

W69L4 "Therefore you do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance."

W70L4 "Today we will practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the same in this."

W70L4 "God wants us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick because it makes us unhappy."

W73L6 "Do you really want to be in hell?"

W73L6 "Do you really want to weep and suffer and die?"

W73L6 "Forget the ego's arguments which seek to prove all this is really Heaven."

W73L6 "Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you really want."

W73L7 "You have no will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so."

W73L7 "Above all else you want the freedom to remember who you really are."

W73L11 "In the shorter practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really want."

W76L3 "You really think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs."

W76L3 "You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off death."

W76L3 "You really think you are alone unless another body is with you."

W76L5 "The body's suffering is a mask the mind holds up to hide what really suffers."

W77L6 "In doing this, you do not really ask for anything."

W79L1 "Even if it is really solved already, you will still have the problem because you cannot recognize that it has been solved."

W79L1 "The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved."

W91L6 "But what you really are must be revealed to you."

W96L4 "If you are physical your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really part of you."

W98L7 "His confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean."

W102L1 "Yet this belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let you question it, and to suspect it really makes no sense."

W106L1 "If you will lay aside the ego's voice however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind which has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages."

W120L2 "Today I lay aside All sick illusions of myself, and let My Father tell me Who I really am."

W126L10 "Repeat today's idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means."

W127L4 "No course whose purpose is to teach you what you really are could fail to emphasize there is no difference in what you are and what love is."

W129L3 "Is it loss to find all things you really want and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout time?"

W129L6 "This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed!"

W129L7 "I choose to see that world instead of this, For here is nothing that I really want.""

W130L1 "Your values are determiners of this, for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is really there."

W130L2 "Yet who can really hate and love at once?"

W131L3 "Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought, and one which comes to you from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding everything you really want."

W131L4 "Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven, and must find the goal you really want."

W131L5 "You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness."

W131L6 "It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really want."

W131L12 "Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you seek."

W133L7 "You therefore will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are there."

W134L4 "Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, like all the rest."

W135L25 "You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended you present yourself to your Creator as you really are."

W136L19 "Do not be confused about what must be healed, but tell yourself: "I have forgotten what I really am, For I mistook my body for myself."

W137L4 "The separation sickness would impose has never really happened."

W138L2 "It is not really thus."

W138L4 "You need to be reminded that you think a thousand choices are confronting you when there is really only one to make."

W139L3 "To be alive and not to know yourself is to believe that you are really dead."

W139L5 "But you do not ask what part of you can really doubt yourself."

W139L5 "It cannot really be a part of you that asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the answer."

W139L6 "Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are."

W139L11 "We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one, and in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father's Love contains us all."

W140L7 "The mind that brings illusions to the truth is really changed."

W140L12 "This is the day when separation ends, and we remember Who we really are."

W151L2 "You do not really question what is shown you through the body's eyes."

W155L2 "What other choice is really theirs to make?"

W164L5 "Here is what is really there made visible, while all the shadows which appeared to hide it sink to obscurity."

W166L4 "He does not realize that it is here he is afraid indeed, and homeless too; an outcast wandering so far from home, so long away, he does not realize he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even who he really is."

W166L6 "Yet is he really tragic when you see that he is following the way he chose, and need but realize Who walks with him, and open up his treasures to be free?"

W170L3 "For love now has an "enemy," an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are."

W181L8 "For what we seek to look upon is really there."

W184L8 "His true identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is."

W185L7 "Let us today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say."

W185L10 "For thus you reach to what they really want, and join your own intent with what they seek above all things, perhaps unknown to them, but sure to you."

W190L6 "And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really want."

W194L4 "And so you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in time."

W194L6 "If you can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can to make it be a part of you."

W227L2 "And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left."

W228L2 "And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really am.""

W231L1 "For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find."

W250W41 "And being mad, it sees illusions where truth should be, and where it really is."

W251L2 "What we denied ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.""

W261L1 "And only there will I remember Who I really am."

W289L1 "For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there."

W303L2 "He is but what I really am in truth."

W330W121 "The ego is the "proof" that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true."

W339L1 "Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love."

W340W131 "It does not create, nor really change at all."

W340W134 "Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there."

W358L1 ""You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want."

W365EP2 "Therefore obey your will, and follow Him Whom you accepted as your voice, to speak of what you really want and really need."

M1A3 "Yet it is impossible not to use the content of any situation on behalf of what you really teach and therefore learn."

M3A4 "Time really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient that it is beyond all memory and past even the possibility of remembering."

M3A5 "For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching."

M5B4 "Because he has valued what is really valueless, he will not generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice."

M5B7 "Now must the teacher of God understand that he did not really know what was valuable and what was valueless."

M5B7 "All that he really learned so far was that he did not want the valueless and that he did want the valuable."

M5B7 "He must learn to lay all judgment aside and ask only what he really wants in every circumstance."

M5J1 "Nothing but that really deserves the name."
