W10L4 " The exercises consist, as before, in searching your mind for all the thoughts which are available to you, without selection or judgment."

W11L1 "Today's idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world you see."

W14L3 "The idea for today is another step in learning to let go the thoughts which you have written on the world, and see the Word of God in their place."

W15L1 "It is because the thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing."

W16L1 "The idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no effect."

W16L1 "Everything you see is the result of your thoughts."

W16L1 "Thoughts are not big or little; powerful or weak."

W16L2 "There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of "idle thoughts.""

W16L3 "There is such a temptation to dismiss fear thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about that it is essential you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal."

W17L1 "You see no neutral things because you have no neutral thoughts."

W17L2 "In applying today's idea, say to yourself, with eyes open: "I see no neutral things because I have no neutral thoughts.""

W17L2 "Then look about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your eye long enough to say: "I do not see a neutral ____ because my thoughts about ____ are not neutral.""

W17L2 "For example, you might say: "I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts about walls are not neutral.""

W17L2 " "I do not see a neutral body, because my thoughts about bodies are not neutral.""

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

W18L1 "The idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are never neutral or unimportant."

W19L2 "Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts."

W19L3 "The idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should be carefully searched for the thoughts it contains at that time."

W21L3 "Try, therefore, not to let the "little" thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods."

W21L4 "As you search your mind for all the forms in which attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and tell yourself; "I am determined to see ____ (name of person) differently.""

W22L1 "Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the world."

W22L1 "Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counterattack will preoccupy him, and people his entire world."

W23L1 "It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work, if your perception of the world is to be changed."

W23L2 "If the cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not want."

W23L2 "But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the world."

W23L3 "Each of your perceptions of "external reality" is a pictorial representation of your own attack thoughts."

W23L6 "As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself, and then close your eyes and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many attack thoughts as occur to you."

W23L6 "As each one crosses your mind, say: "I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts about ____.""

W23L7 "In the practice periods, be sure to include both your thoughts of attacking and of being attacked."

W23L7 "When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you will be ready to let the cause go."

W26L2 "Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack."

W26L2 "Attack thoughts therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack thoughts are."

W26L2 "Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted together."

W26L3 "If attack thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your own eyes."

W26L4 "Practice with today's idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts."

W26L4 "Nothing except your thoughts can attack you."

W26L4 "Nothing except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable."

W26L4 "And nothing except your thoughts can prove to you this is not so."

W26L6 "Any problem as yet unsettled which tends to recur in your thoughts during the day is a suitable subject."

W28L3 "You are not binding its meaning to your tiny experiences of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your little personal thoughts."

W31L3 "As you survey your inner world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to be considered for a moment and then replaced by the next."

W31L3 "As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry."

W33L2 "Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness."

W34L1 "It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward."

W34L3 "Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, "offending" personalities or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving thoughts."

W34L6 "It will help you if you tell yourself specifically: "I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety, or worry (or my thoughts about this situation, personality, or event) with peace.""

W38L5 "From time to time you may want to vary this procedure, and add some relevant thoughts of your own."

W38L5 "You might like, for example, to include thoughts such as: "There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.""

W39L6 "Then, with closed eyes, search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear; uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on."

W39L7 "Specific situations, events or personalities you associate with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today's exercises."

W39L8 "Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this way: "My unloving thoughts about ____ are keeping me in hell."

W41L5 "How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see?"

W41L6 "Try, instead, to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world."

W41L6 "Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention."

W41L7 "But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world."

W41L10 "You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go."

W42L1 "The idea for today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major importance."

W42L4 "After this, try to think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's idea."

W42L5 "You may, in fact, be astonished at the amount of course-related understanding some of your own thoughts contain."

W42L5 "Let them come without censoring unless you realize that your mind is merely wandering, and you have let obviously irrelevant thoughts intrude."

W42L5 "You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to come to mind."

W42L6 "Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come."

W42L6 "If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on than it is to strain in order to find suitable thoughts."

W43L5 "For the second and longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way."

W43L5 "The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the idea, but they should not be in opposition to it."

W43L6 "If you should find your mind wandering; if you begin to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's idea; or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase; and then try the second phase again."

W43L6 "Do not allow any protracted period to occur in which you become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts."

W44L5 "While you practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you now believe, and all the thoughts which you have made up."

W44L7 "Try to observe your passing thoughts without involvement, and slip quietly by them."

W44L10 "Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this world."

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

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

W45L2 "Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you."

W45L2 "Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source."

W45L2 "Therefore your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are."

W45L2 "As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Thoughts."

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

W45L4 "We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible."

W45L6 "Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in mind as you do so."

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."

W45L6 "Then try to go past all the unreal thoughts which cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal."

W45L7 "Here are your thoughts one with His."

W45L9 "Stand aside, however briefly, from all thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are."

W45L9 "And thank Him for the thoughts He is thinking with you."

W49L3 "We will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the Will of God."

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

W49L4 "Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world."

W50L5 "Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety."

W50L5 "Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God."

W51L4 "4) "These thoughts do not mean anything.""

W51L4 "The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to think without God."

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

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

W51L4 "I am not aware of them because I have made "my" thoughts to take their place."

W51L4 "I am willing to recognize that "my" thoughts do not mean anything, and to let them go."

W51L4 ""My" thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the Thoughts I think with God."

W51L5 "I am never upset for the reason I think because I am constantly trying to justify "my" thoughts."

W52L3 "8) "My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.""

W52L3 "I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the past."

W52L5 "10) "My thoughts do not mean anything.""

W52L5 "I have no private thoughts."

W52L5 "Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware."

W52L5 "What can these thoughts mean?"

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?"

W53L1 "11) "My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.""

W53L1 "Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world which pictures them can have no meaning."

W53L1 "Reality is not insane, and I have real thoughts as well as insane ones."

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

W53L2 "Insane thoughts are upsetting, and They produce a world in which there is no order anywhere."

W53L4 "Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts, when the perfection of creation is my home?"

W53L5 "15) "My thoughts are images which I have made.""

W53L5 "Whatever I see reflects my thoughts."

W53L5 "It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am."

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 "16) "I have no neutral thoughts.""

W54L1 "Neutral thoughts are impossible because all thoughts have power."

W54L1 "But thoughts cannot be without effects."

W54L1 "My thoughts cannot be neither true nor false."

W54L3 "If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private world."

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."

W54L4 "19) "I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.""

W54L5 "Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined to see."

W55L2 "The world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts."

W55L2 "It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture."

W55L2 "My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world, and give me the peace God intended me to have."

W55L3 "23) "I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts.""

W55L3 "Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack."

W56L1 "26) "My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability.""

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

W56L5 "In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever."

W56L5 "It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His Thoughts."

W57L3 "I see everything upside-down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth."

W58L1 "Seen through understanding eyes the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself."

W59L5 "I have no thoughts which I do not share with God."

W59L5 "I have no thoughts apart from Him because I have no mind apart from His."

W59L5 "As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His Thoughts are mine."

W60L4 "There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions, and lead my feet."

W62L2 "For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death."

W62L6 "Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are true."

W63L4 "You will probably find it easier to let the related thoughts come to you in the minute or two which you should devote to considering this if you can close your eyes."

W64L7 "Related thoughts will come to help you, if you remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the world."

W64L8 "In the frequent applications of today's idea to be made throughout the day, devote several minutes to reviewing the thoughts, and then to thinking about them and about nothing else."

W64L9 "At times, do the exercises with your eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the thoughts you are applying."

W64L9 "At other times keep your eyes open after reviewing the thoughts and look slowly and unselectively about you, telling yourself: "This is the world it is my function to save.""

W65L1 "Both of these thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment."

W65L5 "Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever thoughts cross it."

W65L5 "At first, make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for today."

W65L6 "After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to find."

W65L6 "Try, however, to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this."

W66L5 "It is only if the first two thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false."

W67L2 "We will begin by repeating this truth about you, and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant thoughts, such as: "Holiness created me holy" "Kindness created me kind.""

W67L3 "After you have gone over several such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you."

W67L4 "You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to time, to replace distracting thoughts."

W67L4 "You may also find that this is not sufficient, and that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about yourself."

W70L9 "For the short and frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you, and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress."

W72L3 "A person says something we do not like; he does something that displeases us; he "betrays" his hostile thoughts in his behavior."

W74L3 "Begin the longer practice periods by repeating these thoughts several times, slowly and with firm determination to understand what they mean and to hold them in mind: "There is no will but God's."

W74L3 "Then spend several minutes in adding some related thoughts, such as: "I am at peace.""

W74L3 "During this introductory phase, be sure to deal quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your mind."

W74L3 "Tell yourself immediately: "There is no will but God's These conflict thoughts are meaningless.""

W80R23 "Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts."

W80R24 "Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death."

W91L8 "Ask this in honesty, and then devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place."

W91L10 "Relax for the rest of the practice period, confident that your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts."

W93L3 "Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very different reference point, from which such idle thoughts are meaningless."

W93L3 "These thoughts are not according to God's Will."

W93L10 "At least remember to repeat these thoughts each hour: "Light and joy and peace abide in me."

W93L11 "If a situation arises which seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again."

W94L1 "The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts which this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea."

W96L5 "Without its function then, it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its thoughts."

W96L7 "Your Self retains Its Thoughts, and They remain within your mind and in the Mind of God."

W96L8 "Thus is salvation kept among the Thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you."

W96L9 "Its Thoughts are mine to use.""

W96L9 "Then seek Its Thoughts, and claim them as your own."

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."

W96L9 "Here are your Thoughts, the only ones you have."

W96L10 "If you succeed, the Thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved, and that your mind has found the function that it sought to lose."

W97L6 "And they will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his thoughts, and uses them to heal."

W98L11 "And when the hour is gone, and He is there once more to spend a little time with you be thankful, and lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him."

W99L3 "They have existence in that they are thoughts."

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

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

W99L11 "Forgive all thoughts which would oppose the truth of your completeness, unity and peace."

W100L1 "Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways."

W100L8 "Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ in you."

W101L7 "So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind."

W107L3 "When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind."

W108L1 "And what is light except the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is wholly true?"

W110L9 "We will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts, and loving thoughts for all who meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him."

W110R36 "Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you."

W110R312 "Do not forget your Father's need of you, as you review these thoughts He gave to you."

W122L3 "It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind."

W124L4 "Our minds contain His Thoughts, our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon."

W124L6 "Their thoughts are timeless, and apart from distance as apart from time."

W125L3 "In stillness we will hear His Voice today, without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word."

W126L2 "It seems to you that other people are apart from you, and able to behave in ways which have no bearing on your thoughts, nor theirs on yours."

W126L8 "You will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed."

W126L10 "In silence close your eyes upon the world which does not understand forgiveness, and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by."

W127L8 "He will shine through your idle thoughts today, and help you understand the truth of love."

W128L4 "Let nothing which relates to body thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world has anything you want to hold you back."

W129L9 "Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this: "The world I see has nothing that I want."

W131L9 "Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas instead."

W131L10 "We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor substance in the truth."

W131L10 "Begin with this: "I ask to see a different world, and think A different kind of thoughts from those I made."

W131L10 "The world I seek I did not make alone, The thoughts I want to think are not my own.""

W131L11 "Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true."

W131L15 "Remember often that today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments."

W132L1 "The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth."

W132L2 "Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it."

W132L2 "You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find."

W132L4 "Perhaps you think you did not make the world, but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning."

W132L8 "The sick are healed as you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of death."

W132L14 "Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it, and about all living things we see upon it."

W132L16 "You need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world as well as to the ones you see near by, as you send out these thoughts to bless the world."

W134L17 "Let him be freed from all the thoughts you had of sin in him."

W135L3 "And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat."

W135L11 "These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with truth."

W136L13 "The Thoughts of God are quite apart from time."

W136L19 "If you let your mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick."

W137L12 "Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds; that thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that they will both occur as one."

W137L14 "And so we will begin the day with this, and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude today at night as well: "When I am healed I am not healed alone."

W137L15 "And as you rest in quiet be prepared to give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined."

W139L12 "In thanks for all creation, in the Name of its Creator and His Oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts which would distract us from our holy aim."

W140L8 "It is as near to us as our own thoughts, so close it is impossible to lose."

W140L11 "Our only preparation is to let our interfering thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one."

W140R41 "Thus we review the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve."

W140R43 "Because they are illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are; defenses which protect your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized."

W140R48 "We add no other thoughts, but let them be the messages they are."

W151L14 "And then we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them."

W151L15 "Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love."

W151L16 "Your ministry begins as all your thoughts are purified."

W151L16 "And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your mind."

W151L18 "As we give thanks, the world unites with us, and happily accepts our holy thoughts, which Heaven has corrected and made pure."

W152L12 "He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of yourself."

W153L9 "Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind."

W153L13 "Now a quiet time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt, and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the Son of God."

W153L16 "At other times the business of the world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our thoughts to God."

W156L2 "We are not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum."

W157L5 "For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God."

W158L7 "It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin."

W161L4 "Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation?"

W162L4 "For the words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them."

W163L1 "All such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as Savior and as giver of release."

W163L8 "And yet can thoughts like these be fearful?"

W163L9 "We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is One with Yours eternally."

W165L1 "What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your Father wills for you?"

W167L1 "Like all His Thoughts, it has no opposite."

W167L8 "Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the Thoughts of God remain forever changeless, with the power to extend forever changelessly but yet within Themselves, for They are everywhere."

W167L11 "And in His Thoughts, Which have no opposite, we understand there is one life, and that we share with Him; with all creation, with their thoughts as well, whom He created in a Unity of life which cannot separate in death and leave the Source of Life from where It came."

W170R53 "And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us."

W170R58 "Release me as you practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need, and knows the answer God has given Him."

W170R58 "Together we review these thoughts."

W181L7 "And we will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day."

W182L3 "The sick arise, healed of their sickly thoughts."

W182L6 "Let all your thoughts become anchored on This."

W182L8 "Let all thoughts be still except this one."

W182L8 "And to all other thoughts respond with This, and see God's Name replace the thousand little names you gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is One Name for all there is, and all that there will be."

W182L10 "His Father's Thoughts become his own."

T17F9 "YOUR way IS lost, but think not this is LOSS."

T17F10 "Think not your choice will leave YOU comfortless."

T17F14 "Think you not the goal ITSELF will gladly arrange the MEANS for its accomplishment?"

T17H6 "But think on this, and learn the CAUSE of faithlessness; you think you hold against another what he has done to you."

T17I5 "Think carefully before you let yourself use faithlessness against him."

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

T18C1 "But think what this world is."

T18C9 "Think not that He has forgotten anyone, in the purpose He has given you."

T18C9 "And think not that He has forgotten YOU, to whom He GAVE this gift."

T18C10 "You are not sure of this, because you think it may be THIS that is the dream."

T18D4 "When you retreat to the illusions, YOUR FEAR INCREASES, for there is little doubt that what YOU think it means IS fearful."

T18E5 "Atonement CANNOT come to those who think that THEY must FIRST atone, but only to those who offer it NOTHING MORE than simple willingness to make way for it."

T18E6 "Rather than seek to prepare YOURSELF for Him, try to think thus: "I who am host to God AM worthy of Him."

T18G2 "You who think you hate your bodies, deceive yourselves."

T18I1 "Think not that this is merely allegorical; for it was made to limit YOU."

T18I1 "You cannot even think of GOD without a body, or some form you think you recognize."

T18I8 "The little aspect that you think you set apart is no exception."

T18J2 "This is the LITTLE part of you, you think you stole from Heaven."

T18J2 "Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it."

T19B7 "You THINK you are PROTECTING the body by HIDING this connection."

T19B15 "For what you think you do to the eternal, you do to YOU."

T19C9 "But think you carefully before you allow yourself to make this choice."

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

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

T19E2 "What do you think that it must DISPOSSESS, to dwell in you?"

T19F10 "To think you could be satisfied and happy with so little, IS to hurt yourself."

T19G2 "THIS is the value that you think peace would ROB you of."

T19G6 "Forgive me for all the sins you think the Son of God committed."

T19G8 "Think of your happiness, as everyone offers you witness of the end of sin, and shows you that its power is gone forever."

T19H3 "But think you which it is that is compatible with YOU."

T19H3 "And what you think you are can NEVER be APART from it."

T19H4 "Can YOUR mistake be reasonable grounds for your depression and disillusionment, and for retaliative attack on what you think has failed you?"

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

T19K1 "What would you feel and think, if death held NO attraction for you?"

T19L9 "Think who your brother IS, before you would condemn him."

T19L13 "Think carefully how you would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on HIM, so will the gift ITSELF appear to be."

T20C1 "Think on the many offerings made for its pleasure, and remember all these were made to make seem lovely what you hate."

T20D4 "It is a picture of what you think YOU are; of how you SEE yourself."

T20E6 "But think not that He does not need your part, to help Him with the rest."

T20E7 "Think not that your forgiveness of each other serves but you two alone."

T20E8 "Think you, when this has been achieved, that you will rest WITHOUT them?"

T20F4 "You will not think to judge him."

T20H3 "Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think THEY are impossible, your wanting of the PURPOSE has been shaken."

T20I3 "And think not that you need make either means OR end."

T20I5 "Why do you think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son?"

T20I12 "Think but an instant just on this."

T20I12 "And NEVER need you think that there IS something else for you to see."

T21B3 "They think they know their way about in it."

T21B4 "And everything they think is in it, serves to remind them that THEY are incomplete and bitterly deprived."

T21B4 "Thus they DEFINE their life and where they live it, ADJUSTING to it as they think they must, afraid to lose the little that they have."

T21B5 "Listen, and try to think if you remember what we will speak of now."

T21C7 "Think not that you are faithless, for your belief and trust in THIS is strong indeed."

T21C11 "And if you think what YOU have made can TELL you what you see and feel, and place your faith in its ability to do so, you ARE denying your Creator, and BELIEVING that you made yourself."

T21C11 "For, if you think the world you made has power to make you what IT wills, you ARE confusing Son and Father; effect and Source."

T21D7 "For what you think is sin is LIMITATION; and whom you try to limit to the body YOU HATE BECAUSE YOU FEAR."

T21D9 "Those who believe in sin MUST think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice."

T21D9 "For this is how they think THEIR purpose is accomplished."

T21D11 "Think you the Holy Spirit is concerned with THIS?"

T21D11 "You THINK He would deprive you FOR YOUR GOOD."

T21E1 "You are indeed afraid to look within, and see the sin you THINK is there."

T21E5 "Think not that THIS is madness."

T21F3 "And you WILL think the world you made directs your destiny."

T21F5 "But think not reason could not ANSWER it."

T21G1 "But reason will also tell you when you THINK you sin you call for help, but if you will not ACCEPT the help you call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give."

T21G1 "And, if he SHARES this same belief, you BOTH will think that you are damned."

T21G3 "No-one can think but for himself, as God thinks not without His Son."

T21G3 "Nor could one mind think only for itself, unless the body WERE the mind."

T21G5 "And, if you think it does, you ARE insane."

T21G5 "But think what you must RECOGNIZE, if it be so."

T21G6 "Yet think not this is fearful."

T21H12 "Why do you think you are unsure the others HAVE been answered?"

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

T22A3 "They stay until they think there's nothing left to steal, and then move on."

T22A4 "Think what a holy relationship can teach!"

T22B2 "And yet, this strange idea which it DOES accurately describe, you think IS you."

T22B3 "Think, then, what happened."

T22B5 "Here is the ONE emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on the self you think you made, to lead you through the world it made for you."

T22B9 "Think what is GIVEN you, my holy brothers."

T22E2 "It is only the first few steps along the right way that seem hard, because you HAVE chosen, but you still think you can go back and make the other choice."

T22E5 "Think what will happen after!"

T22E6 "Think of the loveliness that YOU will see, who walk with Him!"

T22E6 "And think how beautiful will each of you look to the other!"

T22G3 "Be not disturbed at all to think how He can change the role of means and end so easily in what God loves, and would have free forever."

T22G11 "Think you the Will of God is powerLESS?"

T22G12 "You do not see that this is your attempt, BECAUSE you think the Father and the Son are separate."

T22G12 "And you MUST think that they are separate, BECAUSE OF FEAR."

T22G16 "Look not with fear upon this happy fact, and think not that it lays a heavy burden on you."

T23A2 "And you will think that you succeeded, and attack again."

T23A4 "Think what a happy world you walk, with truth beside you!"

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

T23B5 "It IS forgotten in the body's life, and, if you think you ARE a body, you will believe you HAVE forgotten it."

T23B11 "And think what happens when the house of God perceives itself divided."

T23C3 "Think how this SEEMS to interfere with the first principle of miracles."

T23C5 "Think what this SEEMS to do to the relationship between the Father and the Son."

T23C6 "Here is a principle which would define what the CREATOR of reality must be; what He MUST think, and what He must believe; and how He must RESPOND, believing it."

T23C8 "Think not the ego will enable you to find ESCAPE from what it wants."

T23C11 "For it was TAKEN from you by the enemy, and hidden where you would not think to look."

T23C18 "Be not deceived when madness takes a form you think is lovely."

T23C19 "You would maintain, and think it true, that you do NOT believe such senseless laws, nor act upon them."

T23C22 "Think not one step is smaller than another, nor that return from one is easier."

T23D7 "Think you the FORM that murder takes can offer safety?"

T23E8 "Think what is given those who share their Father's purpose, and who KNOW that it is theirs!"

T23E8 "Perhaps you think the battleground CAN offer something that you can win."

T23E9 "Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never THINK of battle."

T24B2 "The secret enemies of peace, your least decisions to choose attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to challenge YOU to combat and to violence far more inclusive than you think, are there by your election."

T24B7 "Look fairly at whatever makes you give each other partial welcome, or would let you think that you are better off apart."

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?"

T24C5 "And it WOULD show them that the specialness they think they see IS an illusion."

T24C7 "You who have chained your Savior to your specialness, and given it HIS place, remember this: He has NOT lost the power to forgive you all the sins you think you placed between him and the function of salvation GIVEN him for you."

T24C8 "Think of the loveliness that you will see within yourself, when you have looked on him as on a Friend."

T24D5 "And God Himself, Who knows that death is NOT your will, must say, "Thy will be done," because YOU think it is."

T24F4 "Yet think not that it looked upon your brother FIRST, nor hated him BEFORE it hated you."

T24G8 "Yet will you think it is, until you realize that it is not a part of him who stands beside you."

T24G10 "Think, then, how great the Love of God for YOU must be, that He has given you a part of Him, to save from pain and give YOU happiness."

T24H4 "And much you think to save, you hurt."

T25A2 "And, as long as they believe THEY are in bodies, where they think they are He CANNOT be."

T25B3 "Perception is a choice of what you want YOURSELF to be; the world you WANT to live in, and the state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied."

T25B3 "It chooses where you think your safety lies, AT YOUR DECISION."

T25B6 "All this takes note of time and place AS IF they were discrete, for while YOU think that part of YOU is separate, the concept of a Oneness JOINED as one is meaningless."

T25C1 "Perhaps you think you find a hope of satisfaction there."

T25C6 "But think you not the picture is destroyed in ANY way."

T25C7 "Think not this face was ever darkened because YOU saw it in a frame of death."

T25D10 "And he HAS the power to think he CAN BE hurt."

T25E2 "And, while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see."

T25E4 "For think what it would do for YOU."

T25F2 "And who, BECAUSE he wishes to attack, can FAIL to think it MUST be guilty, to DESERVE the wish and leave HIM innocent?"

T25F4 "But think not Heaven is lost to him alone."

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

T25G7 "Think not you lack a special value here."

T25H3 "Let us go back to what we said before, and think of it more carefully."

T25H5 "For God and His beloved Son do NOT think differently."

T25H5 "Think not that this belief depends upon the form it takes."

T25H8 "The FORM is suited to your special needs, and to the special time and place in which you think you find yourself, and where you can be free of place and time, and ALL that you believe must limit you."

T25I7 "So do they think the LOSS of sin a curse."

T25I8 "BECAUSE they think that justice is SPLIT OFF from love, and stands for something else."

T25I8 "What can Love ask of you who think that all of this is true?"

T25J1 "What can it be but arrogance to think your little errors CANNOT be undone by Heaven's justice?"

T25J7 "Unless you think that ALL your brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you will not claim YOUR right to them, because you were unjust to one with EQUAL rights."

T26B2 "And FOR this little to belong to you, are limits placed on EVERYTHING outside, just as they are on everything you think is YOURS."

T26B6 "You who would make a sacrifice of life, and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to make of them what God willed not they be."

T26C2 "The Holy Spirit offers you release from EVERY problem that you think you have."

T26C2 "There IS no loss; to think there IS, is a mistake."

T26C3 "You HAVE no problems, though you THINK you have."

T26C3 "And yet you COULD not think so, if you saw them vanish one by one, WITHOUT regard to size, complexity, or place and time, or ANY attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest."

T26C3 "Think not the limits YOU impose on what you see can limit God in ANY way."

T26C5 "It is THESE problems that you think are great, and cannot BE resolved."

T26C6 "Think, then, how great your OWN release will be, when you are willing to receive correction for ALL your problems."

T26F2 "Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all."

T26F4 "You think you live in what is past."

T26G2 "The one illusion that you THINK is friend obscures HIS grace and majesty from you, and keeps his friendship and forgiveness from your welcoming embrace."

T26I1 "If it has been projected BEYOND your minds, you think of it as time."

T26I1 "The nearer it is brought to where it IS, the more you think of it in terms of space."

T26I2 "Thus do you think it SAFER to remain a LITTLE careful and a LITTLE watchful of interests perceived as separate."

T26I2 "The interval you think lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift SEEMS to be one in which you sacrifice, and suffer loss."

T26J1 "Think but how holy you must be, from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to YOUR call."

T26J1 "And think how holy HE must be, when in him sleeps your OWN salvation, with HIS freedom joined."

T26K1 "Only this; you have a DIFFERENTIAL view of WHEN attack is justified, and WHEN you think it is unfair, and NOT to be allowed."

T26K1 "When you perceive it AS unfair, you think that a response of anger now is just."

T26K2 "It means that there MUST be some forms in which YOU THINK IT FAIR."

T26K5 "You think your brother is unfair to you BECAUSE you think that one must be unfair to MAKE the other innocent."

T27C5 "And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you teach to him."

T27C11 "Correction, to a mind so split, MUST be a way to punish sins you think are YOURS in someone else."

T27C12 "And thus He represents the OTHER half, and seems to have a DIFFERENT purpose from the one you cherish, and you THINK is yours."

T27C13 "And what you would correct is only HALF the error, which you think is ALL of it."

T27G6 "How foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is BOUND by laws which it came solely to UNDO."

T27H3 "Your presence JUSTIFIES my wrath, and you exist and think APART from me."

T27H13 "Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son, and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself."

T27I6 "It IS a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which MEANS there is no time."

T27I7 "Except that NOW you think that what you did is being done to YOU."

T27I8 "The world but demonstrates an ancient truth; - you WILL believe that others do to you EXACTLY what you think you did to them."

T28E2 "You see them as the same, because you think that YOU are but a dream."

T28E3 "Think, rather, of him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you."

T28F3 "And, fearing it, you will not WANT to know your own identity, because you think that IT is fearful."

T28F4 "It can NOT think, and so it cannot HAVE effects."

T28G4 "You hate it, yet you think it IS your self, and that, WITHOUT it, would your self be lost."

T28H5 "This world is but the dream that you can BE alone, and think without affecting those apart from you."

T29A2 "This is the consequence the little gap MUST bring to those who cherish it, and think that it is their salvation and their hope."

T29B2 "For now you think that IT determines when you meet, and limits your ability to make communion with each other's mind."

T29D1 "Only those who think that God is lessened by their strength could fail to understand this must be so."

T29D2 "Think you the Father LOST Himself when He created you?"

T29E2 "The dreams you THINK you like would hold you back, as much as those in which the fear is seen."

T29E4 "The dreams you THINK you like are those in which the functions YOU have given have been filled; the needs which YOU ascribe to you are met."

T29E4 "If it succeeds, you think you LIKE the dream."

T29E4 "If it should fail, you think the dream is sad."

T29F1 "Think not that you can change Their dwelling place."

T29G3 "Think not that YOU can set a goal unlike God's Purpose FOR you, and establish it as changeless and eternal."

T29G5 "This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body, ONLY if you think that it was made to crucify God's Son."

T29I1 "Do you think you know?"

T29J4 "They pretend they rule the world, and give their toys the power to move about, and talk and think and feel, and speak for them."

T30B1 "But think about the kind of day you want, and tell yourself there is a way by which this very day can happen just like that."

T30B3 "Throughout the day, at any time you think of it, and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself again the kind of day you want; the feelings you would have, the things you WANT to happen, and the things you WOULD experience."

T30B10 "And if you think there is, you MUST be wrong."

T30C4 "Think not HE wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator of the universe along with Him."

T30D4 "But what you think it OFFERS you, you want indeed, and have the RIGHT to ask for."

T30E1 "All idols ARE the false ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and what is true."

T30E1 "And you attack them for the things you think they REPRESENT."

T30F6 "Perhaps they still look back, and think they see an idol that they want."

T30F8 "And when an idol tempts you, think of this; there never was a time an idol brought you ANYTHING except the "gift" of guilt."

T30G4 "The mind MUST think of its Creator as it looks upon itself."

T30G4 "Nor will you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your brother does not merit."

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

T30G6 "It ALWAYS means you think forgiveness must be limited."

T30G8 "Nor will you KNOW him, if you think he does not merit the escape from guilt in ALL its forms and ALL its consequence."

T30G8 "There IS no way to think of him but this, if you would know the truth about yourself: "I thank you, Father, for your perfect Son, And in his glory will I see my own.""

T30H1 "For ONLY if its aim could change with every situation could each one be OPEN to interpretation which is different every time you think of it."

T30H2 "And then, in looking back, you think you see ANOTHER meaning in what went before."

T31B2 "And by your wish, you set two choices to be made each time you think you must decide on anything."

T31B3 "Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at last."

T31B3 "And this is what you made your brother FOR, and learned to think that this his purpose IS."

T31B5 "Before you answer, pause to think of this: The answer that I give my brother is What I am asking for."

T31B8 "Can YOU make progress if you think the same, advancing only when he would step back, and falling back when he would go ahead?"

T31B10 "Is it not clear that while you still insist on leading or on following, you think you walk alone, with no-one by your side?"

T31C5 "In death is sin preserved, and those who think that they are sin MUST die for what they are."

T31C6 "You will not WANT to hold in guilt your chosen enemies, nor keep in chains to the illusion of a changing love the ones you think are friends."

T31D1 "There is a tendency to think the world can offer consolation and escape from problems that its purpose is to keep."

T31D1 "Thus you think, within the narrow band from birth to death, a little time is given you to use for you alone; a time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road will lead you out of conflict, and AWAY from difficulties which concern you not."

T31D6 "Think not that happiness is EVER found by following a road AWAY from it."

T31D9 "How foolish and insane it is to think that there COULD be a road with such an aim."

T31E8 "For even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you surely learned by now that you BEHAVE as if it were."

T31E9 "Let us forget the concept's foolishness, and merely think of this; there are two parts to what you think yourself to be."

T31E10 "Perhaps the reason why this concept must be kept in darkness is that, in the light, the one who would not think it true is YOU."

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

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

T31F4 "It makes no difference what you look upon, nor what you choose to feel or think or wish."

T31F6 "It does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven."

T31G4 "The contrast is far greater than you think, for you will love this concept of yourself, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MADE FOR YOU ALONE."

T31G14 "And think as well upon the thing that you would be instead."

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

W1IN11 "It is the purpose of these exercises to train the mind to think along the lines which the course sets forth."

W5L1 "This idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation or event you think is causing you pain."

W5L2 "For example: "I am not angry at ____ for the reason I think.""

W5L2 ""I am not afraid of ____ for the reason I think.""

W5L2 "But again, this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you first search your mind for "sources" of upset in which you believe, and forms of upset which you think result."

W5L3 "Then examine your mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you think it is doing so."

W5L4 "If this occurs, think first of this: "I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go."

W5L4 "Further examples are: "I am not worried about ____ for the reason I think.""

W5L4 ""I am not depressed about ____ for the reason I think.""

W7L1 "It is the reason why you are never upset for the reason you think."

W8L2 "To think about it at all is therefore to think about illusions."

W10L2 "The emphasis is now on the lack of reality of what you think you think."

W10L3 "To recognize this is to recognize nothingness when you think you see it."

W12L1 "You think that what upsets you is a frightening world, or a sad world, or a violent world, or an insane world."

W12L3 "As you look about you, say to yourself: "I think I see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked world, a crazy world," and so on, using whatever descriptive terms happen to occur to you."

W12L3 "For example, you might think of "a good world," or "a satisfying world.""

W12L4 "Be sure that you do not alter the time intervals between applying today's idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant."

W13L1 "On the contrary, you will be particularly likely to think you do perceive it."

W13L4 "Then close your eyes and conclude with: "A meaningless world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God.""

W13L6 "Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and try not even to think of it except during the exercise periods."

W14L4 "With eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the world that cross your mind."

W15L1 "You think you think them, and so you think you see them."

W17L1 "This is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think."

W23L4 "Vision already holds a replacement for everything you think you see now."

W30L4 "To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's idea."

W35L2 "You will believe that you are part of where you think you are."

W35L7 "You should not think of these terms in an abstract way."

W35L8 "Do not strain to think up specific things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's idea slowly until something occurs to you."

W38L3 "In today's exercises, we will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties, or suffering in any form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else."

W39L1 "We are dealing only in the very obvious, which has been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think you think."

W41L6 "Then make no effort to think of anything."

W41L9 "Think of what you are saying; what the words mean."

W42L4 "You might think, for example: "Vision must be possible."

W43L3 "Whatever you do you do in Him, because whatever you think you think with His Mind."

W44L1 "You can make darkness and then think you see in it, but light reflects life, and is therefore an aspect of creation."

W45L1 "They are nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any way."

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

W45L1 "Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you."

W45L2 "You think with the Mind of God."

W50R13 "Try, rather, merely to emphasize the central point, and think about it as part of your review of the idea to which it relates."

W51L1 "What I think I see now is taking the place of vision."

W51L5 "5) "I am never upset for the reason I think.""

W54L2 "What I see witnesses to what I think."

W54L4 "Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe."

W54L4 "A Son of God cannot think or speak or act in vain."

W55L4 "What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions."

W56L2 "Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need."

W59L3 "It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him."

W59L5 "45) "God is the Mind with which I think.""

W61L4 "You will want to think about this idea as often as possible today."

W61L5 "Then think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your eyes closed if the situation permits."

W64L2 "To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins."

W66L5 "Let us, then, think about the premises for a while, as we are practicing."

W66L9 "Think about this during the longer practice period today."

W66L9 "Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your function has taken in your mind, and the many ways in which you try to find salvation under the ego's guidance."

W66L10 "Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on which our conclusion rests."

W66L12 "It will not take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words slowly, and think about them a little as you say them."

W67L2 "In the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature."

W68L1 "It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself."

W68L4 "Perhaps you do not think that you can let all your grievances go."
