T7L2 "That is the only environment in which he will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs."
T7L8 "Without your Father you will not know your fatherhood."
T7L8 "Know then the Sons of God, and you will know ALL Creation."

T8A2 "If you are OPPOSING His Will, how CAN you have knowledge?"
T8A3 "If you DO NOT WANT THEM on the basis of LOSS OF PEACE, they will be removed from your mind FOR you."
T8B5 "But if you LISTEN to both, your mind will split on WHAT YOUR REALITY IS."
T8C3 "But when you are taught AGAINST your nature, you will lose by your learning, because your learning will IMPRISON you."
T8C3 "Your will is IN your nature, and therefore CANNOT go AGAINST it."
T8C3 "The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because you WILL NOT LISTEN TO IT."
T8C3 "It is NOT your will to be imprisoned, BECAUSE your will is free."
T8C4 "That is why the ego IS the denial of free will."
T8C4 "It is NEVER God Who coerces you, because He SHARES His Will WITH you."
T8C4 "His voice teaches ONLY His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson, because that is what you ARE."
T8C4 "The LESSON is that your will and God's CANNOT be out of accord because they ARE one."
T8C5 "The ego wants to teach you that you want to OPPOSE God's Will."
T8C5 "This unnatural lesson CANNOT be learned, but the ATTEMPT to learn it is a violation of your own freedom, and makes you AFRAID of your will BECAUSE it is free."
T8C5 "The Holy Spirit opposes ANY imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, KNOWING that the will of the Son IS the Father's."
T8C7 "But He cannot conceive of God without YOU, because it was not God's Will to BE without you."
T8C7 "When you have learned that your will IS God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could will to be without YOU."
T8C8 "When we said, "all power and glory are yours because the Kingdom is His," this is what we meant: The Will of God is without limit, and all power and glory lie within it."
T8C8 "YOU are the Will of God, because this is how you were created."
T8D1 "If you WANT understanding and enlightenment you will learn it, because your will to learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who knows of light and can therefore TEACH IT TO YOU."
T8D2 "There is no limit on His will to teach, because He was created by unlimited Will in ORDER to teach."
T8D2 "To fulfill the Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully KNOWN, because it is the only function that can be FULLY EXPERIENCED."
T8D2 "But the WISH for other experience will block this, because God's Will CANNOT be forced upon you, being an experience of total WILLINGNESS."
T8D3 "Only HIS teaching will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory, and establishing them as yours."
T8D3 "You will share them as He shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their being."
T8D3 "The Will of the Father and of the Son are one together BY THEIR EXTENSION."
T8D3 "Their extension is the RESULT of their Oneness, holding THEIR unity by extending their JOINT will."

T8D5 "As you see him, you will see yourself."
T8D5 "As you treat him, you will treat yourself."
T8D5 "As you think of him, you will think of yourself."
T8D5 "Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose sight of yourself."

T8D7 "HE will be imprisoned or released according to your decision, AND SO WILL YOU."
T8D7 "Give him HIS place in the Kingdom, and you will have YOURS."
T8D8 "But YOU can know this, and you WILL know it if you are willing to look at what the ego has made of YOU."
T8D8 "This IS your responsibility, because once you have really done this you WILL accept the Atonement for yourself."
T8D9 "Having made this choice, you will begin to learn and understand why you have believed that when you met someone else, you have thought he WAS someone else."
T8D9 "And every holy encounter in which YOU enter fully will teach you THAT THIS IS NOT SO."
T8D10 "He does not will ANYONE to suffer for a wrong decision you have made, including YOURSELF."
T8D11 "Fulfilling it perfectly will teach you what YOU have of HIM."
T8D11 "And this will teach you what you are IN Him."
T8E1 "If God's Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience ONLY this you MUST be refusing to acknowledge His Will."
T8E1 "His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever."
T8E1 "But if you do, and ONLY if you do, you WILL feel lonely and helpless, because you ARE denying yourself everything."
T8E4 "You WERE in darkness until God's Will was done completely by ANY part of the Sonship."
T8E4 "My mission was simply to UNITE the Will of the Sonship WITH the Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's Will myself."
T8E5 "If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are DENYING the world and ACCEPTING GOD."
T8E5 "My will IS His, and YOUR will to hear me IS the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will."
T8E5 "As He sent me to you, so will I send you to others."

T8E6 "For unless you do, you will NOT receive it."
T8E6 "If you will to have it of me, you MUST give it."
T8E6 "The guidance must become what YOU want, or else it will be meaningless to you."
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."
T8E6 "Only then will your MIND will to follow me."
T8E7 "Without YOUR will, you cannot be rehabilitated."

T8E7 "If healing IS our joint will, unless our wills ARE joined you CANNOT be healed."
T8E8 "The WILL to unite must be unequivocal, or the will ITSELF is separated or NOT WHOLE."
T8E8 "Your will is the means by which you determine your own condition, because will is the MECHANISM OF DECISION."
T8E8 "My will cannot OVERCOME yours, because YOURS IS AS POWERFUL AS MINE."

T8E10 "If you want to be DIFFERENT, I will wait until you change your mind."
T8E10 "Freedom cannot be learned by tyranny of ANY kind, and the perfect equality of ALL God's Sons cannot be recognized through the dominion of one will over another."

T8E11 "When your will is NOT mine, it is not Our Father's."
T8E11 "I will ALWAYS remember you, and in MY remembrance OF you lies your remembrance of YOURSELF."
T8E12 "This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will share with ALL His Creations, to whom He gives equally whatever is acceptable to Him."
T8E12 "BECAUSE it is acceptable to Him, it is the gift of freedom, which IS His Will for all His Sons."
T8E12 "By OFFERING freedom you will be free, because freedom is the only gift which you can offer to God's Sons, being an acknowledgment of what they are and what HE is."
T8E15 "The delusional believe that truth will ASSAIL them, and so they DO NOT SEE IT because they prefer the delusion."
T8E15 "Help them by offering them YOUR unified will on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on YOURS."
T8E16 "By NOT BEING SEPARATE, the Will of God is established IN ours and AS ours."

T8E16 "The UNDIVIDED will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it IS."

T8E18 "By joining YOUR will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the Will of God is One."
T8E19 "The miracles WE do bear witness to the Will of the Father for His Son, and to our joy in uniting WITH His Will FOR us."

T8E20 "Ask it of me, who knows it for you, and you will find it."
T8E20 "I will deny YOU nothing, as God denies ME nothing."

T8G2 "When you equate yourself with a body, you will ALWAYS experience depression."
T8G3 "This interpretation of the body will change your mind entirely about its value."
T8G3 "But if you use it ONLY to reach the minds of those who believe they ARE bodies and teach them THROUGH the body that THIS IS NOT SO, you will begin to understand the power of the mind that is in both of you."
T8G4 "And in the body of another you will see the use to which you put YOURS."
T8G5 "If the body becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of the union of the Sonship, you will not see ANYTHING physical except as WHAT IT IS."
T8G5 "Use it for truth, and you will see it truly."
T8G5 "MISuse it and you WILL misunderstand it, because you have already done so BY misusing it."
T8G5 "Interpret ANYTHING apart from the Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it."
T8G5 "This will lead you to hatred and attack and LOSS OF PEACE."
T8G7 "And He of Whom you ARE has willed your power and glory FOR you, with which you can perfectly accomplish His holy Will for you when you so will it yourself."
T8G12 "If the mind believes the body is its GOAL, it WILL distort its perception OF the body, and by blocking its own extension BEYOND it will INDUCE illness by FOSTERING SEPARATION."
T8G12 "A medium of communication WILL lose its usefulness if it is used for anything else."
T8G19 "Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to Creation in God."
T8H3 "This is why the ego is forced to shift from one end to another without ceasing, so that YOU will continue to hope it can offer you something."
T8H5 "The ego, however, establishes it AS an end because, as such, IT WILL LOSE ITS TRUE FUNCTION."
T8H9 "And no one can doubt your willingness to listen, until YOU will not to tolerate ANYTHING except truth."
T8H10 "When YOU lay the ego aside it will be gone."
T8H10 "It cannot be louder without violating your will, which He seeks to free but never to command."
T8H10 "He will teach you to use your body ONLY to reach your brothers so He can teach His message through you."

T8I2 "It will seek you and FIND you, WHEN YOU MEET ITS CONDITIONS."
T8I2 "You need do so little, because It is so powerful that your little part WILL bring the whole to you."
T8I3 "But the Holy Spirit, too, has use for sleep, and can use dreams on BEHALF of waking, if you will let Him."
T8I5 "Healing is release from the fear of waking, and the substitution of the will to wake."
T8I5 "The will to wake is the will to love, since ALL healing involves replacing fear with love."
T8I6 "The ego, which always WEAKENS the will, wants to SEPARATE the body from the mind."
T8I10 "Yet it is still His will for you, and His will MUST stand forever and in all things."
T8J1 "Fear of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has ever made."
T8J1 "The very fact that the will of God, which IS what you are, is perceived as fearful TO you demonstrates that you ARE afraid of what you are."
T8J1 "It is not, then, the will of God of which you are afraid, but YOURS."
T8J1 "Your will is NOT the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you."
T8J2 "If the purpose of this course is to learn what you are, and if you have ALREADY DECIDED that what you are is FEARFUL, then it MUST follow that you will NOT LEARN THIS COURSE."
T8J3 "He is not attempting to force an alien will UPON you."
T8J3 "He is merely making every possible effort, within the limits YOU impose upon Him, to RE-ESTABLISH your OWN will in your consciousness."
T8J3 "When we said that the Holy Spirit's function is to sort out the true from the false in your unconscious, we meant that He has the power to look into what YOU have hidden, and perceive the Will of God there."
T8J4 "His perception of this will can make it real to YOU, because HE is in your mind, and therefore He IS your reality."
T8J4 "We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice anything."
T8J4 "But if you ask the sacrifice of reality OF YOURSELVES, the Holy Spirit MUST remind you that this is not God's will BECAUSE it is not yours."
T8J5 "There is NO DIFFERENCE between your will and God's."
T8J5 "You and your Creator can communicate through creation, because that, and only that, IS your joint will."
T8J6 "Yet as long as you are afraid of your will, this is precisely what you WILL ask for."
T8J6 "THIS is really why you persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly teach you your will."
T8J7 "Your will is your salvation BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME AS GOD's."
T8J7 "NO mind can believe that its will is STRONGER than God's."
T8J7 "If, then, a mind believes that ITS will is different FROM His, it can only decide either that there IS no God, or that GOD'S WILL IS FEARFUL."
T8J8 "Either basic type of insane decision will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him."
T8J8 "He will, however, become very fearful, and hence very ANGRY, if anyone suggests that God has NOT left him."
T8J9 "It was never created because it was never your will for YOU."
T8J10 "Ultimately everyone must learn the will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize HIMSELF."
T8J10 "This recognition IS the recognition that HIS WILL AND GOD'S ARE ONE."
T8J10 "This IS your will."
T8J10 "Ask for THIS and you WILL be answered, because you will be asking only for what BELONGS to you."
T8J11 "But YOU can ask for EVERYTHING of the Holy Spirit, because YOUR requests are real, being of your will."
T8J11 "Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God?"
T8J12 "God COULD not will that happiness DEPENDED on what you could never have."
T8J13 "If you hold your hands over your eyes you will NOT see, because you are interfering with the laws of seeing."
T8J13 "If you deny love you will NOT KNOW IT because your cooperation is the LAW OF ITS BEING."
T8J14 "Attempts of any kind to deny what IS are fearful, and if they are strong they WILL induce panic."
T8J15 "As long as you believe that fear is possible, YOU WILL NOT CREATE."
T8J16 "Remember, then, that God's Will is ALREADY possible, and nothing else will EVER be."
T8J16 "And if you DO distort reality you will experience anxiety, depression, and ultimately panic, because you are trying to MAKE YOURSELF UNREAL."
T8K3 "The very fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for ANYTHING, will ensure a response."
T8K3 "But it is equally certain that no response, given by the Holy Spirit, will EVER be one which would INCREASE fear."
T8K3 "It is even possible that His answer will not be heard at all."
T8K3 "It is IMpossible, however, that it will be lost."
T8K4 "You will unite with the truth in him, and his words will BE true."
T8K4 "As you hear him, you will hear me."
T8K7 "You will not know the trust I have in you, unless you EXTEND it."
T8K7 "You will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit, or believe that it is for YOU, unless you hear it in others."
T8K8 "You will be answered as you HEAR THE ANSWER IN EVERYONE."
T8K8 "Do not listen to anything else, or you will not hear truth."
T8K9 "Believe in your brothers BECAUSE I believe in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is justified."
T8K9 "THEY WILL ANSWER YOU, if you learn to ask truth of them."
T8K10 "There is a price you will pay for judgment, because judgment IS the setting of price."
T8K10 "And as you set it, you WILL pay it."
T8K11 "If paying is equated with GETTING, you will set the PRICE low, but demand a high RETURN."
T8K11 "But you will have forgotten that to price is to VALUE, so that YOUR return is IN PROPORTION TO YOUR JUDGMENT OF WORTH."
T8K11 "If paying is associated with giving, IT CANNOT BE PERCEIVED AS LOSS, and the RECIPROCAL relationship of giving and RECEIVING will be recognized."
T8K11 "The price will then be set high, because of the value of the RETURN."
T8K12 "To price for GETTING is to LOSE SIGHT OF VALUE, making it inevitable that you will NOT value what you receive."
T8K12 "Valuing it little, you will not appreciate it, and you will not WANT it."
T8K14 "If you SEE Him in everyone, consider how much you will be asking OF Him, and HOW MUCH YOU WILL RECEIVE."
T8K14 "He will deny you nothing, because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can SHARE EVERYTHING."
T8K14 "Say, then, to everyone, "Because I will to know myself, I see you as God's Son and my brother.""
T9A2 "He may be making no sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the ego, he WILL be making no sense, but your task is still to tell him HE IS RIGHT."
T9B4 "You will not escape paying the price for this, NOT because you are being PUNISHED for it, but because you are following the wrong guide, and will lose your way."
T9B5 "Do not undertake HIS function, or you will forget YOURS."
T9B6 "He will teach you how to see YOURSELF without condemnation, by learning how to look on EVERYTHING without it."
T9B6 "Condemnation will then not be real to you, and all YOUR errors WILL be forgiven."
T9C1 "Look, then, BEYOND error, and do not let your perception rest UPON it, for you will believe what your perception HOLDS."
T9C2 "And if you do not FOLLOW this Guide, your errors will NOT be corrected."
T9C3 "But if you would accomplish this THROUGH Him, you cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the ego, or you will judge them as IT does."
T9C4 "The EGO's plan, of course, MAKES NO SENSE and WILL NOT WORK."
T9C4 "By following it, you will merely place yourself in an impossible situation, to which the ego ALWAYS leads you."
T9C6 "Do not let any belief in its realness enter your minds AT ALL, or you will also believe that you must UNDO what you have made, in order to BE forgiven."
T9C7 "It is a particularly dangerous combination of grandiosity AND confusion, that makes it likely that the ego will attack anyone and anything, for no reason at all."
T9C10 "But it is CERTAIN that he will NEVER find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his ONLY hope is to change his mind about REALITY."
T9C11 "When you search for reality in fantasies, you will not find it."
T9C11 "The symbols of fantasy are of the ego, and of THESE you will find many."
T9D9 "The light in HIS mind will therefore ANSWER the questioner, who MUST decide with God that there IS light BECAUSE HE SEES IT."
T9D11 "He WILL tell you EXACTLY what to do, to help ANYONE He sends to you FOR help, and will speak to him through you, IF YOU DO NOT INTERFERE."
T9D11 "Remember that you ARE choosing a guide for helping, and the wrong choice will NOT help."
T9D11 "But remember also that THE RIGHT ONE WILL."
T9D12 "As you awaken other minds TO Him through HIM, and not yourself, you will understand that you are not obeying the laws of this world, but that the laws you ARE obeying WORK."
T9D12 "If you do it, you will SEE that it works."
T9D12 "THEY will convince you that the words are true."
T9D13 "By following the right Guide, you will learn the simplest of all lessons: "By their fruits ye shall know them, and THEY shall know THEMSELVES.""
T9E2 "When you are inconsistent, you will not always GIVE RISE to joy, and so you will not always recognize HIS consistency."
T9E3 "The will to receive is the will to accept."
T9E3 "If your brothers ARE part of you, will you ACCEPT them?"
T9E4 "Therefore, you CAN create as He did, and YOUR dissociation WILL NOT ALTER THIS."
T9E5 "When you awake in Him, you will know your magnitude by accepting HIS limitlessness as YOURS."
T9E5 "But meanwhile, you will judge it as you judge your brothers', and will accept it as you accept theirs."
T9E6 "As you see them waken, you will learn WHAT WAKING MEANS."
T9E6 "And because you have willed to wake them, their gratitude, and their appreciation of what you have given them, will TEACH YOU ITS VALUE."
T9E6 "THEY will become the witnesses to your reality, as YOU were created witnesses to God's."
T9E6 "But when the Sonship COMES TOGETHER and accepts its oneness, it will be known by ITS creations, who witness to its reality, as the Son does to the Father."
T9E9 "Accept your brother in this world, and accept NOTHING ELSE, for in him you will find your creations, because he created them WITH you."
T9E9 "You will never know that you are co-creator with God, until you learn that your brother is a co-creator with YOU."
T9F1 "God's Will is your salvation."
T9F2 "Do not lose these chances, NOT because they will not return, but because delay of joy is needless."
T9F2 "Is it possible that this is not also YOUR will?"
T9F2 "And is it possible that this is not ALSO the will of your brothers?"
T9F2 "Consider, then, that in this joint will, you ARE all united, and IN THIS ONLY."
T9F2 "There WILL be disagreement on anything ELSE, but NOT in this."
T9F6 "The ego will begin to ATTACK your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of you."
T9F6 "This is when it will shift abruptly from suspiciousness to viciousness, because its uncertainty is INCREASED."
T9F6 "If you are willing to see yourself as unloving, YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY."
T9F10 "Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not hear it."
T9F10 "Return your part of Him, and He will give you all of Himself, in exchange for your return of what belongs to Him, and renders Him complete."
T9G1 "Which will you choose?"
T9G2 "It shifts to viciousness whenever you will not tolerate self-debasement, and seek relief."
T9G3 "If you ACCEPT its offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately."
T9G3 "If you do not, it will wait."
T9G4 "But the conviction of reality will not REMAIN with you, UNLESS YOU DO NOT ALLOW THE EGO TO ATTACK IT."
T9G5 "The ego will make every effort to recover, and mobilize its energies AGAINST your release."
T9G5 "It will tell you that you are insane, and argue that grandeur CANNOT be a real part of you, because of the littleness in which IT believes."
T9G6 "When you FORGET this, you WILL despair, and you WILL attack."
T9G7 "Your grandeur will NEVER deceive you, but your illusions ALWAYS will."
T9G8 "Pride will not produce miracles, and therefore will deprive you of the true witnesses to your reality."
T9G9 "What He cannot TRANSFORM to the Will of God does not exist at all."
T9G12 "Ask the Holy Spirit WHAT it is, and He will tell you."
T9H1 "Time and eternity are both in your minds, and WILL conflict, until you perceive time SOLELY as a means to REGAIN eternity."
T9H3 "Your holy will establishes EVERYTHING that happens to you."
T9H3 "Every response you make, to everything you perceive, is up to you, because your will DETERMINES your perception of it."
T9H3 "That is why your will is holy."
T9H4 "Can anything, then, exceed YOUR will?"
T9H4 "Believe this, and you will realize how much IS up to you."
T9H4 "God will never decide AGAINST you, or He would be deciding against Himself."
T9H6 "Is it your will to do so?"
T9H7 "But you do NOT remember yet that it once was so, and it is in this remembering that you will know it can be so again."
T9H8 "When you remember, you will know what you remember IS eternal, and therefore is NOW."
T9H9 "You will remember everything the instant you DESIRE IT WHOLLY, for if to desire wholly is to create, you will have willed away the separation, returning your mind simultaneously to your Creator and your creations."
T9H9 "Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep, but only the will to waken and be glad."
T9H9 "Dreams will be impossible, because you will WANT only truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours."
T9I2 "Offer the Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of you FOR you, waiting for your acceptance."
T9I2 "Give up gladly EVERYTHING that would stand in the way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and His Voice will tell you that you are part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own reality again."
T9I3 "God WILL do His part if you will do yours, and HIS return in exchange for yours IS the exchange of knowledge for perception."
T9I3 "NOTHING is beyond His will for you."
T9I3 "But signify your will to remember Him, and behold!"
T9I3 "He will give you everything but for your asking."
T9I4 "If you understand that the misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack on truth, and truth is God, you will realize why this is ALWAYS fearful."
T9I4 "If you further recognize that you are PART of God, you will also understand why it is that YOU ALWAYS ATTACK YOURSELF FIRST."
T9I6 "Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly clear, if you will LOOK at it."
T9I7 "No-one can will to destroy himself."
T9I8 "He will not limit your power to help them, because He has given it TO you."
T9I12 "And you are willing to keep it hidden, to protect this idol, which you think will save you from dangers WHICH THE IDOL ITSELF STANDS FOR, but which do not exist."
T9I15 "I will heal you merely because I have only ONE message, and it is true."
T9I15 "Your faith in it will make you whole, when you have faith in me."
T9I15 "I do not bring God's message with deception, and you will learn this as you learn that you ALWAYS receive as much as you ACCEPT."
T9I15 "But have no other gods before Him, or you will NOT hear."
T9I17 "You WILL hear the god you listen to."
T9I17 "But you did NOT create him, because he is NOT the Will of the Father."
T9I17 "He is therefore not eternal, and will be UNmade for you, the instant you signify your willingness to accept ONLY the eternal."
T9I18 "Place honor where it is due, and peace WILL be yours."
T9I18 "Only at the altar of God will you find peace, and this altar is in you, because God put it there."
T9I18 "His Voice still calls you to return, and He will be heard, when you place no other gods before Him."
T9I19 "And if you accept him, you WILL bow down and worship him, because HE WAS MADE AS GOD's REPLACEMENT."
T9J2 "He is the symbol of willing AGAINST God, and you are afraid of him BECAUSE he cannot be reconciled with God's will."
T9J2 "If you ATTACK him, you will make him real to you."
T9J2 "But if you refuse to worship him, in whatever form he may appear to you, and wherever you think you see him, he will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made."
T9J4 "If you perceive other gods, YOUR mind is split, and you will not be able to LIMIT the split, because the split IS the sign that you have removed part of your mind from God's Will, and this MEANS that it is out of control."
T9J5 "God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace IS His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it."
T9J7 "Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever be."
T9J7 "You were created through His laws and by His Will, and the manner of your creation established you AS CREATORS."
T9J7 "You will see nothing at all."
T9J7 "And your vision will AUTOMATICALLY look beyond it, to what is IN you, and all AROUND you."
T9J7 "Reality cannot BREAK THROUGH the obstructions you interpose, but it WILL envelop you completely, WHEN YOU LET THEM GO."
T9J10 "If you but see the little spark, you will learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen."
T9J10 "Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the Light will create."
T9J10 "Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will answer you."
T9K2 "Do not forget, however, that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that others, AND NOT YOURSELF, have done this TO you."
T9K2 "You WILL receive the message you give, because it is the message you WANT."
T9K4 "Sickness and death entered the mind of God's Son against His Will."
T9K6 "But this can be corrected, and God will help you, knowing that you could not sin against Him."
T9K7 "If you hear His message, He HAS answered you, and you will learn what you are of Him, if you hear aright."
T9K7 "Look with peace upon your brothers, and God will come rushing into your heart, in gratitude for your gift to Him."
T9K8 "When you acknowledge Him, you will KNOW that He has never ceased to acknowledge you, and that in His acknowledgment OF you lies your Being."
T9K9 "If you will accept yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of suffering."
T9K9 "This is not because you will be punished otherwise."
T9K10 "God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to love Him."
T9K11 "Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son."
T9K11 "Listen, and you WILL learn what you are."
T9K14 "Only if you ACCEPT the Fatherhood of God will you have anything, because His Fatherhood GAVE you everything."
T9K14 "As long as both appear to you to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is not of God, will remain with you."
T9K14 "While this is not true in Eternity, it IS true in time, so that, while time lasts in YOUR minds, there WILL be choices."
T9K14 "If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to understand Eternity, and make it yours."
T10A1 "If you will examine the evidence ON BOTH SIDES fairly, you will realize that this MUST be true."
T10A1 "And you WILL be faithful to the father you choose."
T10A2 "And either the ego, which you made, IS your father, or its whole thought system will not stand."
T10B1 "There you will see that it rests on meaninglessness, and that everything of which you have been afraid was based on nothing."
T10B2 "When you have at last looked at the ego's foundation without shrinking, you will also have looked upon ours."
T10B2 "Do not refuse it to keep a dark cornerstone hidden, for ITS protection will not save you."
T10B2 "I GIVE you the lamp, and I will go with you."
T10B2 "You will not take this journey alone."
T10B2 "I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you, as I have."
T10B2 "Will you not answer the call of love with joy?"
T10B3 "For in this lies the beginning of knowledge; the foundation on which God will help you build again the thought system which you share WITH Him."
T10B3 "Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him."
T10B3 "For you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills His Son to be, and where he IS."
T10B3 "For you dwell in the Mind of God WITH your brother, for God Himself did not will to be alone."
T10B5 "If you were not part of God, His Will would not be unified."
T10B6 "If you believe YOU are absent from God, you WILL believe He is absent from you."
T10B7 "Because He did not will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself."
T10B8 "Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will learn what God has kept for YOU."
T10B8 "Could YOU be alone there, if it was given you because GOD did not will to be alone?"
T10B9 "To give without limit is God's Will for you, because only this can bring you the joy which is His, and which He wills to share with YOU."
T10B10 "God willed to create, and your will is His."
T10B10 "It follows, then, that YOU will to create, since your will follows from His."
T10B10 "And being the extension of His will, yours MUST be the same."
T10B10 "Yet what you will, you do not know."
T10B10 "God's Will was that you are His Son."
T10B10 "By DENYING this, you denied your OWN will, and therefore DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS."
T10B10 "The reason you must ask what God's Will is in everything, is merely because It IS yours."
T10B11 "Ask him, therefore, what God's Will is for you, and He will tell you YOURS."
T10B11 "Whenever what the Holy Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is ONLY because YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN WILL."
T10B11 "The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's Will is OUTSIDE yourself, and therefore NOT YOURS."
T10B11 "In THIS interpretation, it IS possible for God's Will and yours to conflict."
T10B11 "Would God, Who wants ONLY your will, be capable of this?"
T10B11 "Your will is His Life, which He has GIVEN to you."
T10B11 "Immortality is His Will for His Son, and His Son's will for HIMSELF."
T10B11 "Yet God's Son cannot will death for himself, because His Father is Life, and HIS SON IS LIKE HIM."
T10B12 "Creation is your will because it is His."
T10B12 "You cannot be happy unless you do what you will truly, and you CHANGE this, because it is immutable."
T10B12 "But it is immutable by God's Will AND YOURS, for otherwise His Will would not have been extended."
T10B12 "You are afraid to know God's Will, because you believe it is NOT yours."
T10B13 "He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone."
T10B13 "He SHARES His Will with you; He does not thrust it UPON you."
T10B13 "Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father, is to know your own."
T10B13 "For it is YOUR will to be LIKE Him, Whose Will it is that it be so."
T10B14 "God's Will is that His Son be One, and united with Him in His Oneness."
T10B14 "That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that YOUR WILL IS HIS."
T10C1 "If sickness is separation, the will to heal and BE HEALED is the first step toward RECOGNIZING WHAT YOU TRULY WANT."
T10C2 "To unite having and being is only to unite your will with His, for He wills you HIMSELF."
T10C2 "And you will yourself to HIM, because in your perfect understanding of Him, you KNOW there IS but One Will."
T10C2 "But when you attack ANY part of God and His Kingdom, your understanding is NOT perfect, and what YOU will is therefore lost to you."
T10C4 "You cannot deny PART of yourself, simply because the remainder will seem to be unintegrated, and therefore without meaning."
T10C4 "And being without meaning TO YOU, you will not understand it."
T10C5 "Having forgotten his will, he does not know what he WANTS."
T10C5 "He will enable you to go far beyond the healing YOU would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole He will lay His Own COMPLETE Will and make YOURS whole."
T10C6 "And yet the invitation must come from you, for you have surely learned that whom you invite as your guest WILL abide with you."
T10C6 "The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host, BECAUSE HE WILL NOT BE HEARD."
T10C7 "HE will remain, but YOU have allied yourself AGAINST Him."
T10C7 "Whatever journey you choose to take, He will go with you, waiting."
T10C7 "But you will far more than patience."
T10C7 "You will never rest until you know your function AND FULFILL IT, for only in this can your will and your Father's be wholly joined."
T10C8 "Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter."
T10C8 "The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how to do this, if you but recognize the little spark, and are WILLING TO LET IT GROW."
T10C8 "If you will merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much, that you will gladly extend it."
T10C8 "And by THIS extending, you will begin to remember Creation."
T10C9 "You will accept only whom YOU invite."
T10D1 "Your Comforter will rest you, but YOU cannot."
T10D1 "Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could never suffer in ANY way, for that is not God's Will for His Son."
T10D2 "God's Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his will is not his own."
T10D2 "Would God let this be real, if He did not will to be alone Himself?"
T10D2 "And if your will is His, it CANNOT be true of you, BECAUSE it is not true of Him."
T10D3 "When the light comes, and you have said, "God's Will is mine," you will see such beauty that you will KNOW it is not of you."
T10D3 "Out of your joy, you will create beauty in His Name, for YOUR joy could no more be contained than His."
T10D3 "The bleak little world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the presence of God."
T10D3 "I cannot tell you what this will be like, for your hearts are not ready."
T10D5 "You will never lose your way, for God leads you."
T10D6 "When you are tempted to deny Him, remember that there ARE no other Gods that you CAN place before Him, and accept His Will for you in peace."
T10D6 "But be holy in the Presence of God, or you will not know that you are there."
T10D8 "Then you will be worthy to dwell in the temple WITH Him, because it is YOUR will not to be alone."
T10D8 "If you will bless him in TIME, you will BE in eternity."
T10E2 "What you experience, when you deny your father, is still for your protection, for the power of your will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God AGAINST it, and any limitation on YOUR power is NOT the Will of God."
T10E3 "As you bring HIM back, so will YOUR mind return."
T10E6 "When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he WILL hear the Voice of his Father."
T10E6 "But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will believe that the door is barred, and you cannot enter."
T10E9 "Sharing the perfect Love of the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise He will not know the Father or the Son."
T10F1 "We are ready to look more closely at the ego's thought system, because together we have the lamp that will dispel it, and since you realize you do not WANT it, you MUST be ready."
T10F1 "The "dynamics" of the ego will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to look beyond it, since you HAVE made it real."
T10F1 "We will UNDO this error quietly together, and then look beyond it to truth."
T10F2 "Be not afraid, therefore, for what you will be looking at IS the source of fear, but you have learned surely by now, that FEAR IS NOT REAL."
T10F6 "We once said that to will contrary to God is wishful thinking, and not real willing."
T10F6 "His Will is One, because the extension of His Will CANNOT be unlike ITSELF."
T10F6 "The real conflict you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of God, WHICH YOU SHARE."
T10F10 "For though you may countenance a false idea of independence, you will NOT accept the cost of fear, IF YOU RECOGNIZE IT."
T10F12 "But it is given YOU to know that GOD's function IS yours, and happiness CANNOT be found apart from your joint will."
T10F13 "Let him but RECOGNIZE it, and he will NOT accept it."
T10F14 "The ego will ALWAYS substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is salvation, harmony is threat."
T10F18 "Accept His Son and you WILL remember Him."
T10F18 "Accept what God does NOT deny, and HE will demonstrate its truth."
T10F19 "Every brother has the power to release you, IF YOU WILL TO BE FREE."
T10F19 "You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks through you, YOU will hear Him."
T10G1 "That is what I meant when I said, "Blessed are ye who have not seen and still believe," for those who believe in the resurrection WILL see it."
T10G3 "I am leading you to a new kind of experience which you will become less and less willing to deny."
T10G3 "For until Christ comes into His Own, the Son of God WILL see himself as fatherless."
T10G4 "This is as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, Which knows no time and no exceptions."
T10G4 "But make no exceptions yourself, or you will not perceive what has been accomplished FOR you."
T10G5 "That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom, for he will obey ONLY the god he accepts."
T10G5 "The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not will to TAKE AWAY."
T10G5 "He would only have you learn your OWN will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom."
T10G6 "Guard them in their resurrection, for otherwise you will not awake in God, safely surrounded by what is yours forever."
T10G7 "You will not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of God's Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead."
T10G8 "Yet you CANNOT crucify God's Son, for the Will of God cannot die."
T10G9 "You will awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is WITHIN you."
T10G9 "But YOU must see the works I do through you, or you will not perceive that I have done them unto YOU."
T10G9 "Do not set limits on what you believe I can do THROUGH YOU, or you will not accept what I can do FOR you."
T10G9 "For it is done ALREADY, and unless you give ALL that you have received, you will not know that your Redeemer liveth and that YOU have awakened WITH Him."
T10G10 "Bring only THIS awareness to the Sonship, and you will have a part in the redemption as valuable as mine."
T10G10 "The whole power of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His Will is either great or small."
T10H3 "Only this is the real world, and perceiving ONLY this will lead you to the real Heaven because IT WILL MAKE YOU CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING IT."
T10H3 "WITHOUT this awareness, you have NOT met its conditions, and until you do you will not know that it is yours already."
T10H4 "You CAN know God, because it is His Will to BE known."
T10H5 "When you have perceived the real world, you will recognize that you did NOT believe it."
T10H5 "But the swiftness with which your new and ONLY real perception will be translated into knowledge, will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is true."
T10H5 "And then everything you made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the true."
T10H5 "For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight."
T10H6 "But the Holy Spirit has saved its meaning FOR you, and if you will LET Him interpret it FOR you, He will restore what you have thrown away."
T10H6 "As long as you THINK YOU KNOW its meaning, you will see no need to ask it OF Him."
T10H7 "Yet God will not refuse the answer He GAVE you."
T10H8 "Decide for the answer, and you WILL have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is yours already."
T10H8 "Nothing could be more specific than to be told very clearly, that if you ask you WILL receive."
T10H9 "The Holy Spirit will answer EVERY specific problem, as long as you believe that problems ARE specific."
T10H9 "Realize that YOU ARE AFRAID OF HIS SPECIFICITY, for fear of what you think it will DEMAND of you."
T10H9 "Yet only by asking will you learn that nothing that is of God demands ANYTHING of you."
T10H9 "The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours, and will take nothing in return."
T10H10 "Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by HIS Being."
T10H11 "Blessed are you who will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn that His answer IS the release from fear."
T10H11 "Ask anything of God's Son, and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father and His Father is not deceived in Him."
T10H12 "Do not, then, be deceived in your brother, and see only his loving thoughts as his reality, for by denying that his mind is split, YOU WILL HEAL YOURS."
T10H13 "As you become willing to ACCEPT this Help BY ASKING FOR IT, you will give it BECAUSE YOU WANT IT."
T10H13 "Nothing will be beyond your healing power, because nothing will be denied your simple request."
T10H13 "What problems will not disappear in the presence of God's answer?"
T10H13 "Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL PERCEIVE IN HIM, and you will see YOUR beauty reflected in HIM."
T10H14 "Do not accept your brother's variable perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you will not accept YOUR healing without his."
T10H14 "Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of the Father's Love for YOU."
T10H17 "Ask what they ARE of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer, you too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace."
T10H17 "And because of this, they will ask for truth again, when they are frightened."
T10H18 "ASK of their reality from the One Who knows it, and He will tell you what they are."
T10H18 "But you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, Who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in YOU is impossible."
T10H18 "When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will accept the real world in place of the false one you have made."
T10H18 "And then your Father will lean down to you, and take the last step for you, by raising you unto Himself."
T11A1 "If you decide that someone is REALLY trying to attack you, or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he had actually DONE so, BECAUSE you have made his error REAL to you."
T11A1 "To interpret error is to GIVE IT POWER, and, having done this, you WILL overlook truth."
T11B2 "If you maintain that an appeal for help is something ELSE, you will REACT to something else, and your response will be inappropriate to reality as IT is, but NOT to your perception OF it."
T11B4 "Deny him YOUR help, and you will NOT perceive God's answer to YOU."
T11B6 "But hear his call for the help of God, and you will recognize your OWN need for the Father."
T11B6 "And if you perceive but one need in yourself, you WILL be healed."
T11B6 "For you will recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it will be truly yours."
T11B7 "By applying the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the reactions of others more and more consistently, you will gain an increasing awareness that HIS criteria are equally applicable to YOU."
T11B7 "Consider how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others will serve you then."
T11B8 "If you do NOT PROTECT it, HE will re-interpret it."
T11C3 "And thus will YOU learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with the fact of unity."
T11C6 "You will be made whole as you MAKE whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health, is to recognize in hatred the call for love."
T11C8 "You will not get rid of this until you DO realize it, for UNTIL then, you will think you want to get rid of EACH OTHER and KEEP THE HATRED."
T11C9 "This will be a very difficult period for you, but it will not be so for long."
T11C9 "You are in danger, but you WILL be helped, and nothing will happen."
T11C9 "But you cannot remain in darkness, and this will BE the way out."
T11C10 "For you CANNOT escape salvation, and you WILL not escape fear until you WANT salvation."
T11C10 "And we will walk through it in safety, for peace is not far, and you will be led in its light."
T11C11 "But if they HIDE their nightmares, they will KEEP them."
T11C12 "Only the ANTICIPATION will frighten you, for the reality of nothingness cannot be frightening."
T11C12 "Let us not delay this, for your dream of hatred will not leave you without help, and help is here."
T11C13 "YOU STILL WILL WHAT GOD WILLS, and no nightmare can defeat a Child of God in his purpose."
T11C13 "For your purpose was given you by God, and you must accomplish it, BECAUSE it is His Will."
T11C13 "Awake and remember your purpose, for it is YOUR will to do so."
T11C14 "A little while, and you WILL see me."
T11C14 "I will awaken you as surely as I awakened myself, for I awoke FOR you."
T11C14 "Trust in my help, for I did not walk alone, and I will walk with you, as our Father walked with me."
T11C15 "We will but be making perfect TO you, what is ALREADY perfect IN you."
T11C15 "You will not fail in your mission, because I failed not in mine."
T11C15 "Give me but a little trust, in the name of the COMPLETE trust I have in you, and we will easily accomplish the goal of perfection together."
T11C15 "But you who choose to banish fear WILL succeed."
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."
T11C16 "If YOU will look, the Holy Spirit will judge, AND WILL JUDGE TRULY."
T11C17 "Surely He will not fail to help you, since help is His ONLY purpose."
T11D5 "For you will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not understand that they dwell in abundance and that salvation is come."
T11D10 "You still could not will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the world you made."
T11D10 "It is NOT a world of will, because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him."
T11D10 "And this desire IS NOT WILL."
T11D11 "Do not believe it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing WHERE it is, will you gain control over it."
T11D11 "If you will recognize that ALL attack which you perceive, is in your own mind, and NOWHERE ELSE, you will at last have placed its source, and where it began it must end."
T11D12 "There you will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly."
T11D12 "From this place, where God and His Son dwell in peace, and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace, and behold the world truly."
T11E1 "This is the ONE promise that it holds out to you, and the one promise IT WILL KEEP."
T11E2 "Yet it is ALSO your mind that has the power to DENY its existence, and you will surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey it sets you IS."
T11E3 "The ego will therefore DISTORT love, and teach you that LOVE calls forth the responses the ego CAN teach."
T11E3 "Follow its teaching, then, and you will SEARCH for love, BUT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT."
T11E4 "The Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to joy."
T11E4 "For HIS promise is always, "Seek and you WILL find," and under HIS guidance you cannot BE defeated."
T11E4 "His is the journey to ACCOMPLISHMENT, and the goal HE sets before you He WILL GIVE YOU."
T11E4 "For He will never deceive God's Son, Whom He loves with the love of the Father."
T11E5 "You WILL undertake a journey, because you are not at home in this world."
T11E5 "And you WILL search for your home, whether you know where it is or not."
T11E5 "If you believe it is OUTSIDE yourself, the search will be futile, for you will be seeking where it is NOT."
T11E5 "Yet the Holy Spirit knows it FOR you, and He will guide you TO your home, because that is His Mission."
T11E5 "As He fulfills HIS mission, He will teach you YOURS."
T11E6 "For death is not your Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is true IS the Will of the Father."
T11E6 "If death is your treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it."
T11E6 "And you will believe that you HAVE purchased it BECAUSE you have sold everything else."
T11E7 "For Spirit is Will, and will IS the "price" of the Kingdom."
T11E7 "The Holy Spirit guides you into Life Eternal, but YOU must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see it, though it is all around you."
T11F2 "Although you have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you will demonstrate that NOTHING HAPPENED."
T11F3 "But you will never realize the utter uselessness of attack, EXCEPT by recognizing that your attack on YOURSELF had no effects."
T11F3 "For others DO react to attack, if they perceive it, and if you ARE trying to attack them, you will be unable to avoid interpreting this as reinforcement."
T11F8 "Every legitimate teaching aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to learning, WILL BE MISINTERPRETED."
T11F10 "Yet your will speaks against your learning, as your learning speaks against your will."
T11F10 "And so you fight AGAINST learning, and SUCCEED, for that is your will."
T11F10 "But you do NOT realize, even yet, that there IS something you DO will to learn, and that you CAN learn it, because it IS your will to do so."
T11F10 "You who have tried to learn what you do NOT will, should take heart."
T11F11 "THIS resignation will NOT lead to depression."
T11F11 "Under the proper learning conditions, which you can neither provide nor understand, you will become excellent learners AND teachers."
T11F11 "But it is not so yet, and will not BE so until the whole learning situation, as YOU have set it up, is reversed."
T11F12 "Your learning POTENTIAL, properly understood, is limitless, BECAUSE IT WILL LEAD YOU TO GOD."
T11F12 "You can TEACH the way to Him AND learn it, if you will follow the Teacher Who knows it, and the curriculum for learning it."
T11F12 "Everything else will be GIVEN you."
T11F12 "For it is YOUR will to learn aright, and NOTHING can oppose the will of God's Son."
T11G2 "You cannot perceive the soul, but you will not KNOW it while you perceive anything ELSE as more valuable."
T11G2 "BECAUSE He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it."
T11G3 "You CHOSE to forget your Father, but you did NOT will to do so."
T11G3 "This GIVES it the only reality it will ever have."
T11G4 "Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with love - if you accept His vision as yours."
T11G5 "He will SHOW you the real world, because God GAVE you Heaven."
T11G5 "The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the REAL world, and BY this, he will learn to REinvest in HIMSELF."
T11G6 "When you have seen this real world, as you will surely do, you WILL remember us."
T11G6 "Only then will you decide to awake."
T11G6 "And then the real world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept."
T11G7 "For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self."
T11H1 "You will recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty in miracles, when you have applied them to ALL situations."
T11H1 "For there IS no situation to which miracles do not apply, and by applying them TO all situations, you will gain the REAL world."
T11H1 "For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate from YOUR acceptance of it FOR YOURSELF, to everyone the Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing."
T11H3 "The Holy Spirit is invisible, but you CAN see the results of His Presence, and through them, you will learn that He is there."
T11H3 "Perceiving His RESULTS, you will understand where He MUST be, and finally KNOW what He is."
T11H4 "And UNLESS YOU DO, you will not realize He is there."
T11H5 "As long as you believe you have two functions, so long will you need correction."
T11H5 "For you will believe in what you MANIFEST, and as you look out so will you see in."
T11H5 "Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance you chose."
T11H6 "I am the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited Him."
T11H6 "For He will send you His witnesses if you will but look upon them."
T11H6 "Remember always that you see what you seek, for what you seek you WILL find."
T11H6 "But seeking and finding are the same, and if you seek for two goals, you will FIND them, but you will RECOGNIZE NEITHER."
T11H6 "For you will think they are the same, BECAUSE YOU WANT THEM BOTH."
T11H6 "The mind always strives for integration, and if it is split, and WANTS TO KEEP THE SPLIT, it will believe it has ONE goal by MAKING IT ONE."
T11H7 "What you want IN YOURSELF you will make manifest by PROJECTION, and you will accept it FROM the world, because you put it there BY wanting it."
T11H9 "When you want ONLY love, you will see nothing else."
T11H9 "If you make it manifest, its messengers will come to you, because you INVITED them."
T11H12 "When you have accepted your mission to PROJECT peace, you will FIND it."
T11H12 "For by MAKING IT MANIFEST you will SEE it."
T11H12 "Its holy witnesses will surround you, because you CALLED UPON THEM, and they will come to you."
T11H12 "I HAVE heard your call, and I have answered it, but you will not look upon me nor hear the answer which you sought."
T11H12 "Yet as I become more real to you, you will learn that you DO want only that."
T11H12 "And you will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it together."
T11H13 "As you decide so will you see."
T11H13 "When you look within and see me, it will be because you have decided to manifest truth."
T11H13 "And as you manifest it, you will see it both without AND within, for you will see it without BECAUSE you saw it first within."
T11H13 "If it is YOUR judgment, it will be wrong, for judgment is not your function."
T11H13 "If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment IS His function."
T11H13 "For you will judge AGAINST yourselves, but He will judge FOR you."
T11H14 "It will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not satisfied until you die."
T11H14 "For your destruction is the one end toward which it works, and the only one with which it will be satisfied."
T11H15 "You will think that death comes from Him, AND NOT FROM THE EGO, because, by confusing yourself WITH the ego, you believe that YOU want death."
T11H16 "You will realize that this is true when you look within and SEE me."
T11H16 "When you learn to make ME manifest, YOU will never see death."
T11H16 "For you will have looked upon the deathless IN YOURSELF, and you will see only the eternal, as you look out upon a world that cannot die."
T11I1 "If you seek love to attack it, YOU WILL NEVER FIND IT."
T11I1 "Offer it and it will come to you, because it is drawn to itself."
T11I1 "But offer attack and it will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace."
T11I4 "A Voice will answer every question you ask, and a vision will correct the perception of everything you see."
T11I5 "You have but to ask for this memory, and you WILL remember."
T11I9 "ITS reality will make everything ELSE invisible, for beholding it is TOTAL perception."
T11I9 "And as you look upon it, you will remember that it was always so."
T11I9 "Nothingness will become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly."
T11J1 "For the mind that judges, perceives itself as SEPARATE from the mind being judged, believing that by punishing ANOTHER, IT will escape punishment."
T11J2 "Look carefully at this world, and you will realize that this is so."
T11J4 "And until you realize that God's Son CANNOT be crucified, this is the world you will see."
T11J4 "But you will NOT realize this, until you accept the eternal fact that GOD'S SON IS NOT GUILTY."
T11J7 "Time seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it will roll up like a long carpet that has spread along the past behind you, and will disappear."
T11J7 "As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, believing that it leads to death."
T11J7 "And the journey will seem long and cruel and senseless, for so it is."
T11J8 "The retaliation which he fears, AND WHICH HE SEES, will never touch him, for although he BELIEVES in it, the Holy Spirit KNOWS it is not true."
T11J9 "You will see me as you learn the Son of God is guiltless."
T11J9 "God's Son will ALWAYS be as he was created."
T11J10 "When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you will realize that THERE IS NO GUILT IN GOD'S SON."
T11J11 "As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you will realize that there IS no journey, but only an awakening."
T11J12 "For guilt establishes that you WILL BE punished for what you have done, and thus depends on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to future."
T11J12 "For if what it HAS BEEN WILL BE punished, it's continuity WOULD be guaranteed."
T12B1 "But let it perceive guiltlessness ANYWHERE, and it will try to destroy it, because it is afraid."
T12B4 "You do not yet understand that ALL your fear of this course stems ultimately from this interpretation, but if you will consider your reactions TO it, you will become increasingly convinced that this is so."
T12B5 "You have been told again and again that it will make you free, yet you react as if it is trying to IMPRISON you."
T12B6 "You have recognized the futility of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not want it, you will not look upon the alternative with gladness."
T12B6 "YOU ARE AFRAID OF REDEMPTION, and YOU BELIEVE IT WILL KILL YOU."
T12B6 "For you believe that, in the presence of truth, you will turn on yourself and DESTROY yourself."
T12B7 "Your "guilty secret" is nothing, and if you will but bring it to light, the Light WILL dispel it."
T12B7 "And then no dark cloud will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father."
T12B7 "For you will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is immortal."
T12B7 "And you will see that you were redeemed WITH him, and have never been separated FROM him."
T12B7 "There will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy will be YOURS."
T12C1 "We have said that no one will countenance fear, IF HE RECOGNIZES IT."
T12C3 "For still deeper than the ego's foundation, and MUCH stronger than IT will ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, AND HIS FOR YOU."
T12C4 "The Holy Spirit, then, seems to be ATTACKING YOUR FORTRESS, for you would SHUT OUT GOD, and He does not will to BE excluded."
T12C6 "But hatred CAN, for it enters of ITS will, and cares not for YOURS."
T12C8 "For He will heal every little thought that you have kept to hurt you, and cleanse it of its littleness, restoring it to the magnitude of God."
T12C9 "In that place, which you have hidden, you will only to unite with the Father, in loving remembrance of Him."
T12C9 "You will find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for though they may deceive themselves, like you they long for the grandeur that is in them."
T12C9 "And perceiving it you will WELCOME it, and it will be yours."
T12C10 "Only his love is real, and he will be content ONLY with his reality."
T12C10 "But exempt no one from your love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your minds, where the Holy Spirit is not welcome."
T12C10 "And you will exempt YOURSELF from His healing power, for by not offering total love, YOU will not be healed completely."
T12C13 "No-one who hears His answer but will give up insanity."
T12C13 "But seek this place and you WILL find it, for Love is in you, and will lead you there."
T12D4 "You will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure its continuity, by MAKING THE FUTURE LIKE THE PAST, and thus AVOIDING the present."
T12D5 "In effect, if you FOLLOW its dictates, you will react to your brothers as though they were SOMEONE ELSE, and this will surely prevent you from perceiving them AS THEY ARE."
T12D5 "And you will receive messages from them out of your OWN past because, by making it real in the present, you are forbidding yourself to LET IT GO."
T12D10 "You, too, will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours."
T12D10 "If you accept your function in the world of time AS HEALING, you will emphasize ONLY the aspect of time in which healing can occur."
T12D10 "But if you interpret your function as DESTRUCTION, you will lose sight of the present, and hold on to the past TO ENSURE A DESTRUCTIVE FUTURE."
T12D10 "And time WILL be as you interpret it, for OF ITSELF it IS nothing."
T12E4 "They do not wish to die, YET THEY WILL NOT LET CONDEMNATION GO."
T12E7 "And He will NOT return it, for it is unworthy of you BECAUSE it is unworthy of Him."
T12E8 "And you will see all that you denied in your brothers, BECAUSE you denied it in yourself."
T12E8 "For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to YOURSELF, perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you share with GOD."
T12E8 "And we will draw them from their private world, for as we are united, so would we unite with them."
T12E9 "But let the DARKNESS go, and ALL you made YOU WILL NO LONGER SEE, for sight of IT depends upon DENYING vision."
T12E10 "And He will not return unto the Father, until He has extended your perception even unto Him."
T12E11 "And this YOU will see, as you look with Him."
T12E12 "Nor will they see Him ALONE, for He is no more alone than THEY are."
T12E12 "And all this will they understand, because they looked within, and saw, beyond the darkness, the Christ in them, and RECOGNIZED Him."
T12F1 "If you remember the PAST as you look upon him, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is NOW."
T12F2 "When you have learned to look upon everyone with NO REFERENCE AT ALL to the past, either his OR yours as you perceived it, you will be able to learn FROM WHAT YOU SEE NOW."
T12F5 "Let no dark cloud out of YOUR past obscure him from you, for truth lies ONLY in the present, and you WILL find it if you seek it there."
T12F5 "Learn, then, to seek it where it IS, and it WILL dawn on eyes that see."
T12F5 "Your past was made in anger, and if you use it to ATTACK the present you will NOT SEE the freedom that the present holds."
T12F5 "Judgment and condemnation are BEHIND you, and unless you bring them WITH you, you WILL see that you are free of them."
T12F6 "The present is before time WAS, and WILL BE when time is no more."
T12F7 "And THEY will not deny the truth in you, because you looked for it in them, and FOUND it there."
T12F9 "Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, and you WILL remember Him, as you call forth the witnesses to His creation."
T12F9 "Those whom you heal bear witness to YOUR healing, for in THEIR wholeness you will see your own."
T12F9 "And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your Creator, He will return your thanks, in His clear answer to your call."
T12F10 "And you will find it through its witnesses."
T12F10 "For having given light to them, THEY WILL RETURN IT."
T12F11 "For this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do."
T12F11 "And you will lay aside the world and find another."
T12F11 "And here will everything remind you of your Father and his holy Son."
T12F11 "All those you brought WITH you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude, because they brought you here."
T12F11 "Your light will join with theirs, in power so compelling, that it will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them."
T12F12 "Awaking unto Christ is following the laws of love OF YOUR FREE WILL, and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them."
T12G2 "Both are not true, yet either one will seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear."
T12G3 "And what you call with love WILL come to you."
T12G5 "But while he still lays value on his own, he will DENY the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves WHAT HE LOVES NOT, and following not the road that love points out."
T12G5 "And as you follow Him, YOU will rejoice that you have found His company, and learned of Him the joyful journey home."
T12G5 "To give this sad world over, and exchange your errors for the peace of God, is but YOUR will."
T12G5 "And Christ will ALWAYS offer you the Will of God, in recognition that you share it WITH Him."
T12G6 "It is God's Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh unto him."
T12G7 "For all else you have LENT yourself in time, and it WILL fade."
T12G8 "You will first DREAM of peace, and THEN awaken to it."
T12G9 "As mediator between the two worlds, He knows what you have need of, and WHICH WILL NOT HURT YOU."
T12G10 "EVERYTHING that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you."
T12G10 "For, although it urges you again and again to GET, it LEAVES you nothing, for what you get it will DEMAND of you."
T12G10 "And even from the very hands that grasped it, it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust."
T12G10 "Therefore, ask not of yourselves what you need, FOR YOU KNOW NOT, and your advice unto yourself WILL hurt you."
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."
T12G11 "For HE will give you all things that do NOT block the way to light."
T12G11 "In time, He gives you all the things that you need have, and will renew them as long as you have need of them."
T12G11 "He will take nothing FROM you, as long as you have ANY need of it."
T12G11 "Therefore, He has no investment in the things that He supplies, except to make certain that you will NOT use them on behalf of lingering in time."
T12G12 "He will supply them, with no emphasis at all upon them."
T12G12 "What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind, and kept to hurt you."
T12G12 "Under His guidance, you will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey's end, which is His goal."
T12G13 "Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He will lead you safely through all the dangers to your peace of mind that this world sets before you."
T12G13 "Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice, and seek not what you will surely lose."
T12G13 "Content yourselves with what you will as surely KEEP, and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to the peace of God, where He would have you be in quietness."
T12G14 "We will restore to you the peace of mind that we MUST find together."
T12G14 "The Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us, and to yourself."
T12G14 "And we will spread it, like a veil of light, across the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers FROM the world, and it from them."
T12G15 "The sound of it will banish sorrow from the mind of God's most holy Son, where it cannot abide."
T13A2 "But no perception, however holy, will last FOREVER."
T13B1 "ASPECTS of reality can still be seen, and they will replace aspects of UNREALITY."
T13B4 "And He will offer them unto His Father, as they were offered unto Him."
T13B6 "When you have seen your brothers as yourself, you will be RELEASED to knowledge, having learned to FREE yourself, of Him who knows of freedom."
T13B6 "Unite with me, under the holy banner of His teaching, and, as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will move in us, and we will leave no-one untouched and no-one left alone."
T13B6 "And suddenly, time will be over, and we will all unite in the Eternity of God the Father."
T13B6 "The holy light you saw OUTSIDE yourself, in every miracle you offered to your brothers, will be RETURNED to you."
T13B6 "And, KNOWING that the light is IN you, YOUR creations will be there WITH you, as you are in your Father."
T13B8 "They witness to what you do not know, and, as they reach the gates of Heaven, God will open them."
T13C1 "The guilty ALWAYS condemn, and HAVING done so, they WILL condemn, linking the future to the past, as is the ego's law."
T13C1 "Atonement stands between them, like a lamp that shines so brightly, that the chain of darkness, in which you bound yourselves will disappear."
T13C2 "MAKE NO-ONE FEARFUL, for his guilt is yours, and, by obeying the ego's harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation on yourself, and you will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it."
T13C3 "Be faithful unto darkness, and you will NOT see, because your faith WILL be rewarded as you GAVE it."
T13C3 "You WILL accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the future WILL be like it."
T13C3 "The power of your VALUING will make it so."
T13C6 "See no-one, then, as guilty, and you will affirm the truth of guiltlessness UNTO YOURSELF."
T13C6 "Those whom you see as guilty, become the witnesses to guilt IN YOU, and you WILL see it there, for it IS there, until it is undone."
T13C7 "For while you see one spot of guilt within you, YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT."
T13D2 "No-one who would unite in ANY way, with ANYONE, for his OWN salvation will find it in that strange relationship."
T13D3 "In any union with a brother, in which you seek to lay YOUR guilt upon him, or share it WITH him, or perceive his own, YOU WILL FEEL GUILTY."
T13D3 "Nor will you find satisfaction and peace with him, because your union with him IS NOT REAL."
T13D3 "You will see guilt in that relationship, BECAUSE YOU PUT IT THERE."
T13D3 "It is inevitable that those who suffer guilt WILL attempt to displace it, because they DO believe in it."
T13D3 "Yet, though they suffer, they will not look within, AND LET IT GO."
T13D5 "A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the past, and give your mind in peace over to the Atonement."
T13D5 "When everyone is welcome to you as you would have YOURSELF be welcome to your Father, you will see no guilt in you."
T13D5 "For you will have ACCEPTED the Atonement, which shone within you all the while you dreamed of guilt, and would not look within and SEE it."
T13D6 "As long as you believe that guilt is justified in ANY way, in ANYONE, WHATEVER he may do, you will not look within, where you would ALWAYS find Atonement."
T13D6 "The end of guilt will never come as long as you believe THERE IS A REASON FOR IT."
T13D7 "NOW it is given you to heal and teach, to make what WILL BE, now."
T13D7 "When he has looked within, and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his Father loves him."
T13D7 "And it will seem incredible that he had ever thought his Father loved him not, and looked upon him as condemned."
T13D8 "The moment that you realize GUILT IS INSANE, WHOLLY unjustified, and WHOLLY without reason, you will NOT fear to look upon Atonement, and ACCEPT IT WHOLLY."
T13D8 "Look THROUGH the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and look PAST darkness, to the holy place where you will see the light."
T13D9 "His will is like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God, as He would have YOU do."
T13D11 "Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no idea WHAT LOVE IS LIKE."
T13D12 "But look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you will see, will banish guilt forever."
T13D13 "My trust in you is without limit, and without the fear that you will hear me not."
T13D13 "I thank the Father for your loveliness, and for the many gifts that you will let me offer to the Kingdom, in honor of its wholeness that is of God."
T13D14 "Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt melts away, and, transformed into kindness, will never more be what it was."
T13D14 "Every reaction that you experience will be so purified, that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your Father."
T13D14 "See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will never cease His praise of YOU."
T13D14 "United in this praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven, where we will surely enter, in our blamelessness."
T13D16 "Nothing destructive ever was, or will be."
T13E1 "When we are all united in Heaven, you will value NOTHING that you value here."
T13E2 "The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally let Him judge the difference FOR you, allowing Him to demonstrate which MUST be true."
T13E2 "He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that HE WILL MAKE IT FOR YOU."
T13E2 "To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission will be fulfilled."
T13E3 "Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit's voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will IS done."
T13E3 "You WILL find the peace in which He has established you, because HE does NOT change His Mind."
T13E4 "You will not remember change and shift in Heaven."
T13E4 "When you have LEARNED this, you will find the answer that makes the need for ANY differences disappear."
T13E4 "Truth comes of its OWN will, unto its own."
T13E4 "When you have learned that you BELONG to truth, it will flow lightly over you, without a difference of ANY kind."
T13E4 "For you will NEED no contrast to help you realize that THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, and ONLY this."
T13E5 "Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do."
T13E5 "THE WILL OF GOD CAN FAIL IN NOTHING."
T13E5 "Have faith in only this one thing, and it will be sufficient; God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep you FROM it, or IT from you."
T13E5 "They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you."
T13E5 "The Holy Spirit WILL restore your sanity, because insanity is NOT the Will of God."
T13E5 "You will NOT keep what God would have removed, because it breaks communication with you, with whom He would communicate."
T13E5 "His voice WILL be heard."
T13E6 "Peace will be yours, because His peace still flows to you, from Him Whose Will IS peace."
T13E6 "The Holy Spirit will teach you how to USE it, and by PROJECTING it, to learn that it IS in you."
T13E7 "God willed you Heaven, and will ALWAYS will you nothing else."
T13E7 "The Holy Spirit knows ONLY of His Will."
T13E7 "There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is sure as He is."
T13E7 "You will learn salvation, because you will learn HOW TO SAVE."
T13E7 "It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you."
T13E7 "He WILL learn the lesson of awaking."
T13E8 "His sleep will not withstand the call to wake."
T13E8 "The mission of redemption will be fulfilled, as surely as the Creation will remain unchanged throughout Eternity."
T13E8 "But the will of God must be accepted AS your will, to KNOW it."
T13E9 "The Holy Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His mind for you, and one which HE WILL EFFECT, as surely as the ego will NOT effect what it attempts."
T13E9 "From Him you CANNOT wander, and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone, for the salvation OF everyone, will not be perfectly accomplished."
T13E9 "You WILL be released, and you will NOT remember anything you made that was not created FOR you, and BY you in return."
T13F3 "You will perceive the need for this, if you will realize that to DENY is the decision NOT to know."
T13F4 "They will not be taken from him."
T13F5 "Any direction which will lead you where the Holy Spirit leads you NOT, goes nowhere."
T13F5 "These are but INDIRECT expressions of the will to live, which has been blocked by the capricious and unholy whim of death and murder, that your Father shared not WITH you."
T13F5 "And while you think it possible to LEARN to do this, you will NOT believe all that IS possible to learn to do."
T13F6 "Those who choose to BE deceived, will merely ATTACK direct approaches, which would seem but to ENCROACH upon deception, and strike at it."
T13G1 "This has so confused you, that you have undertaken to learn to do what you can NEVER do, believing that, UNLESS you learn it, you will NOT be happy."
T13G2 "Have faith in nothing, and you will FIND the treasure that you sought."
T13G2 "But you will add another burden to your mind, ALREADY burdened, or you would NOT have sought another."
T13G2 "You will believe that NOTHING IS OF VALUE, and will VALUE it."
T13G2 "This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end, the ONLY one."
T13G4 "Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs."
T13G4 "You will find NO deception there, but only the simple Truth."
T13G4 "And you will love it, because you will UNDERSTAND it.""
T13G5 "They will be happy learners of the lesson which this light brings to them, because it teaches them release from nothing, and from all the works of nothing."
T13G6 "And YOU will see it WITH them."
T13G6 "BECAUSE you taught them gladness and release, they will become YOUR teachers in release and gladness."
T13G6 "You will NEVER learn how to make nothing everything."
T13G7 "The universe of learning will open up before you, in all its gracious simplicity."
T13G7 "With truth before you, you will not look back."
T13G9 "The light in you will waken them, and they will not leave YOU asleep."
T13G9 "The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling, that you will realize IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DENY THE SIMPLE TRUTH."
T13H1 "Learning will be commensurate with motivation, and the interference in your motivation for learning, is EXACTLY the same as that which interferes with ALL your thinking."
T13H3 "To wish for guilt in ANY way, in ANY form, will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness, and push it from your sight."
T13H3 "Whenever the pain of guilt seems to ATTRACT you, remember that, if you yield to it, you are deciding AGAINST your happiness, and will NOT learn how to be happy."
T13H3 "Say, therefore, to yourself, gently, but with the conviction born of the love of God and of His Son: What I experience I will make manifest."
T13H5 "Whether he DOES this, or does it not, will make no difference."
T13H5 "YOU WILL THINK HE DOES."
T13H6 "It is HIS joy to teach it, as it will be YOURS."
T13H8 "You will learn communication with this Oneness ONLY when you learn to DENY the causeless, and accept the Cause of God as YOURS."
T13H9 "Whenever you decide to make decisions FOR YOURSELF, you are thinking self-destructively, and the decision WILL BE WRONG."
T13H9 "It will hurt you, because of the CONCEPT of decision which led to it."
T13H9 "But those who believe they are guilty, WILL respond to guilt, because THEY THINK IT IS SALVATION, and will NOT refuse to see it, and side WITH it."
T13H10 "Yet will was given them BECAUSE it is holy, and will bring TO them ALL that they need, coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits."
T13H10 "There is NOTHING their wills will not provide, that offers them ANYTHING of value."
T13H10 "But, because they do NOT understand their will, the Holy Spirit quietly understands if FOR them, and gives them what THEY will, without effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED ALONE."
T13H10 "It will never happen that you will have to make decisions FOR YOURSELF."
T13H10 "Would you be content with little, which is all that YOU ALONE can offer yourself, when He Who GIVES YOU EVERYTHING will simply OFFER it TO you?"
T13H11 "He will never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of God."
T13H13 "WITH Him, you will not fail to learn what God wills FOR you IS your will."
T13H13 "WITHOUT His guidance, you will think you know alone, and will decide AGAINST your peace, as surely as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that Salvation lay in you alone."
T13H13 "Forget HIM not, and He will make EVERY decision for you, for YOUR Salvation and the peace of God in you."
T13H14 "And you WILL feel guilty for this imagined "crime," which no one in this world, or Heaven, CAN POSSIBLY commit."
T13H16 "Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for everyone who will be touched, in any way by the decision."
T13H16 "And EVERYONE will be."
T13H17 "Yet He will never KEEP from me what He would have me LEARN."
T13I1 "When you accept a brother's guiltlessness, you will SEE Atonement in him."
T13I1 "For, by proclaiming it in HIM, you make it YOURS, and you WILL see what you sought."
T13I1 "You will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining within him, while you still believe IT IS NOT THERE."
T13I1 "Grant it to him, and you will see the truth of what you have acknowledged."
T13I2 "For until you do, you will still think that you are separate FROM Him."
T13I3 "When you have let all that has obscured the truth in your most holy mind be undone for you, and stand in grace before your Father, He will give Himself to you, as He has ALWAYS done."
T13I4 "You WILL feel guilty 'til you learn this."
T13I4 "God will not fail, nor ever has, in anything."
T13I5 "For this small gift of appreciation FOR His love, God will Himself exchange your gift for HIS."
T13I6 "So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself, by loving not the Son of God, and trying to teach him guilt INSTEAD of love."
T13I7 "There is no effort, and you will be led as gently, as if you were being carried along a quiet path in summer."
T13I7 "The Holy Spirit will not delay at all in answering your EVERY question what to do."
T13I7 "And He will TELL you, and then do it FOR you."
T14A1 "Unless you are guiltless you cannot know God, Whose Will is that you know Him."
T14B3 "But UNTIL he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness, that his true function remains unfulfilled in him."
T14B4 "Deny them not what is their due, for you will not withhold it from them alone."
T14B5 "Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ASK for guilt and WILL experience it."
T14B5 "So will the world of separation slip away, and full communication be restored between the Father and the Son."
T14B8 "You will not see yourself BEYOND the power of God if you teach only this."
T14B8 "You will NOT be exempt from the effect of this most holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's creation."
T14B8 "From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you will INEVITABLY learn YOUR innocence."
T14B8 "And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what is for all, in everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace."
T14B12 "If you bring him INTO the circle of purity, you will rest there WITH him."
T14C2 "Attack will ALWAYS yield to love, if it is brought TO love, not hidden FROM it."
T14C2 "There is no darkness that the light of love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence."
T14C3 "But let them go, and what WAS fearful, will be so no longer."
T14C6 "He will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom you ARE in perfect communication."
T14C7 "He will not attempt to communicate the meaningless."
T14C7 "But He WILL separate out all that HAS meaning, dropping off all the rest, and offering your true communication to those who would communicate as truly WITH you."
T14C8 "Therefore, keep no source of interference from His sight, for He will NOT attack your sentinels."
T14D4 "You will realize that salvation MUST come to you this way, if you consider what dissociation IS."
T14D5 "One WILL go, BECAUSE the other is seen in the SAME place."
T14D5 "Light cannot enter darkness, when a mind BELIEVES in darkness, and will not let it go."
T14D7 "You will SEE how easily ALL that He asks can be accomplished."
T14D8 "His judgment MUST prevail, and He will GIVE it to you, as you join your perception to His."
T14D9 "Seeing WITH Him will SHOW you that all meaning, INCLUDING YOURS, comes not from double vision, but from the gentle fusing of everything into one meaning, one emotion and one purpose."
T14D9 "The single vision, which the Holy Spirit offers you, will bring this Oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense, you could not wish, for all the world, not to accept what God would have you have."
T14D9 "Behold your will, accepting it as His, with all His love as yours."
T14D11 "Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or little valued, He will replace with the one promise GIVEN unto Him to lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son."
T14D11 "And NOTHING brought there that is not equally worthy of BOTH, but will be REPLACED by gifts wholly acceptable to Father AND to Son."
T14D13 "He will surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition."
T14D14 "And truth will make this plain to you, as you are brought into the place where you must MEET with truth."
T14D15 "And Heaven remains the Will of God for YOU."
T14D15 "Here, your meager offerings are BROUGHT TOGETHER with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended."
T14D15 "Your little gifts will vanish, on the altar where He has placed His Own."
T14E2 "And this, reality WILL do for you."
T14E3 "The Atonement is so gentle, you need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to your assistance and support."
T14E4 "For the Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace."
T14E4 "The graciousness of God will take them gently in, and cover all their sense of pain and loss, with the immortal assurance of their Father's Love."
T14E4 "There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of living."
T14E5 "God will shine upon it of Himself."
T14E6 "Clear but the mirror, and the message which shines forth from what the mirror holds out for everyone to see, NO-ONE will fail to understand."
T14E7 "The image of holiness that shines in YOUR mind is NOT obscure, and will NOT change."
T14F2 "Reach out of time and touch it, with the help of its reflection IN you, and you will turn FROM time to holiness, as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to lay all guilt aside."
T14F6 "It will seem very difficult for you to learn that YOU HAVE NO BASIS AT ALL for ordering your thoughts."
T14F8 "Otherwise, it will attack the form."
T14F13 "Long ago we said this course will teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity."
T14F13 "By SUPPLYING your identity, WHEREVER it is NOT recognized, YOU will recognize it."
T14F13 "And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His Son, with all the love He holds for him."
T14F13 "Nor will the power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer TO His Son."
T14G5 "Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light, He will accept FROM you, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT IT."
T14G5 "And He will gladly EXCHANGE each one for the bright lesson He has learned FOR you."
T14G6 "The ABSENCE of PERFECT peace means but ONE thing; you THINK you do not will for God's Son what His Father wills for him."
T14G6 "And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit will REPLACE the dark ones you do NOT accept and hide, teaches you that you will WITH the Father unto His Son."
T14G7 "And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now.""
T14G7 "By this refusal to attempt to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you, will speak to you."
T14G7 "HE will take His rightful place in your awareness, the instant YOU abandon it, and offer it to Him."
T14G8 "God's Son can make no needs His Father will not meet, if he but turn to Him ever so little."
T14G12 "God's Son will ALWAYS be indivisible."
T14G12 "Teach LIKE Him here, and you WILL remember that you have ALWAYS created like your Father."
T14G12 "This is the Will of God for all creation, and all creation joins in willing this."
T14G13 "Those who remember always that THEY know nothing, but who have become willing to learn EVERYTHING, will learn it."
T14G13 "But whenever they trust THEMSELVES, they will NOT learn."
T14G14 "Whenever you think YOU know, peace will depart from you, because you have abandoned the Teacher of Peace."
T14G14 "Whenever you fully realize that YOU KNOW NOT, peace will return, for you will have invited Him to do so, by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him."
T14G14 "The Holy Spirit will, OF HIMSELF, fill every mind that so makes room for Him."
T14G15 "YOU can desert HIM, but He will never reciprocate."
T14G15 "In this consistency, lies His holiness, which He CANNOT abandon, for it is not His Will to do so."
T14G15 "Make way for peace, and it will come."
T14G16 "But see the mighty works that He will do through you, and you MUST be convinced you did them through Him."
T14G16 "Leave room for Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power, that NOTHING will prevail against your peace."
T14G16 "And this will be the test by which you recognize that you HAVE understood."
T15A1 "When this has happened, you will no longer need a teacher, or time in which to learn."
T15B3 "But, because you and ITSELF cannot be separated, and because it cannot conceive of its OWN death, it will pursue you still, BECAUSE YOUR GUILT IS ETERNAL."
T15B5 "For no-one who considers himself as DESERVING hell, can believe that punishment will end in peace."
T15B8 "From this holy instant, wherein holiness is born, you will go forth in time without fear, and with no sense of change WITH time."
T15B9 "And Heaven will NOT change, for the birth into the holy present is SALVATION from change."
T15B10 "In the holy instant, in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you WILL remember God."
T15B11 "You will never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of YOUR release, while you are unwilling to give it to your brothers on behalf of THEIRS."
T15B11 "Miracles ARE the instant of release you offer, and will RECEIVE."
T15C1 "An instant, offered to the Holy Spirit, is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant, you will awaken gently in Him."
T15C2 "In the blessed instant, you will let go ALL your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the WHOLE lesson of peace."
T15C2 "Be not concerned with time, and fear not the instant of holiness which will remove ALL fear."
T15C2 "It WILL come, being the lesson God gives you, through the Teacher HE has appointed, to translate time to eternity."
T15C3 "For you ARE where you have forever been, and will forever be."
T15C4 "In the holy instant, you will unchain ALL of your brothers, and refuse to support either THEIR weakness, OR YOUR OWN."
T15C5 "And you will know which you have chosen, by THEIR reactions."
T15C5 "For, when you HAVE, you will be SURE you have."
T15C5 "You will be sure, because the witness TO Him will speak so clearly OF Him, that you will hear, and UNDERSTAND."
T15C6 "You WILL doubt, until you hear ONE witness whom you have WHOLLY released through the Holy Spirit."
T15C6 "And then you will doubt no more."
T15C6 "But it will, and you will recognize it, with perfect certainty."
T15C6 "You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant, and will learn much from doing so."
T15C6 "But its shining and glittering brilliance, which will literally blind you to this world by its OWN vision, you can NOT supply."
T15C7 "You will receive very specific instructions, as you go along."
T15C7 "Fear not that you will not be given help in this."
T15C7 "God's Teacher, and His lesson will support your strength."
T15C7 "It is only your weakness that will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the power of God in you."
T15C7 "Use it but for one instant, and you will never deny it again."
T15D1 "When you strive for anything in the world, WITH THE BELIEF THAT IT WILL BRING YOU PEACE, you are belittling yourself, and blinding yourself to glory."
T15D1 "You will ALWAYS choose one AT THE EXPENSE of the other."
T15D2 "Choose littleness, and you will NOT have peace, for you will have judged yourself UNWORTHY of it."
T15D2 "You are free to try as many as you wish, but all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming."
T15D2 "For you will be content ONLY in magnitude, which IS your home."
T15D3 "The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it, when you realize that it is true, and constitutes a tribute to your power."
T15D3 "Believe the little can content you, and, by LIMITING yourself, you will NOT be satisfied."
T15D5 "The power of God will support every effort you make on behalf of the magnitude of His dear Son."
T15D6 "Every decision you make is made for Heaven or for hell, and will bring you AWARENESS of what you decided FOR."
T15D10 "Holy Child of God, when will you learn that ONLY holiness can content you, and give you peace?"
T15D11 "I will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant, and at peace forever with Itself."
T15D11 "You will be content with nothing BUT His Will."
T15D12 "When you have learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you are COMPLETE, in need of nothing, and unable to accept ANYTHING for yourself."
T15D12 "But you will gladly give, HAVING received."
T15D12 "If you are wholly willing to leave Salvation to the plan of God, and UNwilling to attempt to grasp for peace YOURSELF, Salvation will be GIVEN you."
T15D13 "Thus will we let no-one forget what YOU would remember."
T15D13 "And thus WILL you remember it."
T15D13 "For where you would help your brother be, there will you think YOU are."
T15E1 "And this means ONLY that you would rather DELAY the recognition that His Will IS so."
T15E1 "For beyond the past and future, in which you will NOT find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance."
T15E2 "The instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you, is but as far away as your DESIRE for it."
T15E2 "By so much as you want it, will you bring it nearer."
T15E3 "HIS will content you, for there IS nothing else that can bring you peace."
T15E4 "Every allegiance to a plan of Salvation that is APART from Him, diminishes the value of His Will for you in your own minds."
T15E4 "This you WILL recognize, in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly give over EVERY plan but His."
T15E5 "And the extent to which you learn to be willing to ACCEPT me, IS the measure of the time in which the holy instant will be yours."
T15E6 "Do not obscure the simplicity of this reason, for, if you do, it will be ONLY because you prefer NOT to recognize it, and NOT to let it go."
T15E8 "For the holy instant is given and received with EQUAL willingness, being the acceptance of the SINGLE Will that governs ALL thought."
T15E9 "You will not be able to ACCEPT perfect communication, as long as you would HIDE it from yourself."
T15E9 "Thus will He make you ready to acknowledge that you ARE host to God, and hostage to no-one and to nothing."
T15F5 "However UNholy the reason why you made them may be, He can TRANSLATE them into holiness, by removing AS MUCH FEAR AS YOU WILL LET HIM."
T15F5 "You can place ANY relationship under His care, and be sure that it will NOT result in pain, if you offer Him your willingness TO HAVE IT SERVE NO NEED BUT HIS."
T15F8 "In the holy instant, you see, in each relationship, what it WILL be, when you perceive ONLY the present."
T15F12 "And there WILL be guilt, as long as you accept the possibility, AND CHERISH IT, that you can make a brother WHAT HE IS NOT, because YOU would have him so."
T15G6 "Fear not the holy instant will be denied you, for I denied IT not."
T15G6 "And, through me, the Holy Spirit GAVE it unto you, as YOU will give it."
T15G6 "For, in the holy instant, you will recognize the ONLY need the aspects of the Son of God share equally, and, BY this recognition, you will join with me in OFFERING what is needed."
T15G6 "It is through US that peace will come."
T15G7 "If you would GIVE YOURSELF as your Father gives His Self, you will learn to understand Selfhood."
T15G7 "But, as long as you prefer to be something else, or would attempt to be NOTHING ELSE and SOMETHING ELSE together, the language of communication, WHICH YOU KNOW PERFECTLY, you will not remember."
T15G8 "God, and the power of God, will take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the full communication of ideas with ideas."
T15G8 "Through your ability to do this, you will learn what you MUST be, because you will begin to understand what your Creator is, and what His creation is, along WITH Him."
T15H3 "As we bring it to light, your ONLY question will be why it was you EVER WANTED it."
T15H4 "It counsels, therefore, that if you are HOST to it, IT will enable you to direct the anger that it holds outward, thus protecting YOU."
T15H5 "For it is certain that, if you LOOK at them, you will offer them gladly TO Him."
T15H5 "What HE can make of them you do NOT know, but you WILL become willing to find out, if you are willing, first, to perceive what YOU have made of them."
T15H10 "Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that LOVE BRINGS NO GUILT AT ALL, and what brings guilt CANNOT be love, and MUST be anger."
T15H10 "Guilt is the only need the ego has, and, as long as you identify WITH it, guilt will remain ATTRACTIVE to you."
T15H11 "And, if you think it IS, you will feel guilty about COMMUNICATION, and will be AFRAID to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice, your OWN need to communicate."
T15H11 "It is CLEARLY insane to believe that, by communicating, you will be abandoned."
T15H11 "For you think that your minds must be kept PRIVATE, or you will LOSE them."
T15H12 "As long as you believe that, to be with a body, is companionship, you will be COMPELLED to attempt to keep your brother IN his body, HELD THERE BY GUILT."
T15H12 "And you will see SAFETY IN GUILT, and DANGER IN COMMUNICATION."
T15H12 "For the ego will ALWAYS teach that loneliness is solved by guilt, and that communication is the CAUSE of loneliness."
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."
T15I1 "In the face of your fear of forgiveness, which He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness IS release, He will teach you to remember always that forgiveness is NOT loss, BUT YOUR SALVATION."
T15I2 "And, through THEM, you will never learn the value of what you have cast aside, but what you still desire with all your hearts."
T15I2 "Behold the only need that God and His Son share, and will to meet together."
T15I2 "The will of your creations call to you, to share your will with them."
T15I3 "Relate only with what will never LEAVE you, and what YOU cannot leave."
T15I3 "He will NOT fail you, for He comes from One Who CANNOT fail."
T15I5 "And, because of the Source of the attempt, IT WILL SUCCEED."
T15I6 "He will do this, BECAUSE it is His function."
T15I6 "Leave, then, what seems to you to be impossible, to Him Who knows it MUST be possible, because it is the Will of God."
T15I7 "Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent."
T15I7 "Given this willingness, it will NOT leave you, for it IS permanent."
T15I7 "Therefore, in this there will be NO delay, when YOU are ready for it."
T15I8 "For communication MUST be UNlimited in order to HAVE meaning, and DEPRIVED of meaning, it will NOT satisfy YOU completely."
T15I9 "For the ego would limit everyone TO a body for ITS purposes, and, while you think it HAS a purpose, you will choose to utilize the means by which IT tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment."
T15I9 "This will never BE accomplished."
T15I110 "Yet you have surely recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether UNattainable, will strive for them with all its might."
T15I110 "And will do so with the strength that YOU have given it."
T15I110 "Limit your vision of a brother to his body, which you WILL do, as long as you would not release him FROM it, and you have denied HIS gift to YOU."
T15I11 "For it IS your will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet, in such sure and loving relationships, that ANY limits are impossible."
T15I13 "When the body ceases to attract you, and when you place no value on it as a means of GETTING ANYTHING, then there will be NO interference in communication."
T15I13 "And your thoughts will be as free as God's."
T15I13 "As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body ONLY for purposes of communication, and RENOUNCE its use for separation and attack, which the EGO sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all."
T15J2 "What OTHER gift can you offer me, when ONLY THIS I will to offer YOU?"
T15J3 "When you are willing to accept OUR relationship AS REAL, guilt will hold NO attraction for you."
T15J3 "For, in OUR union, you will accept ALL of our brothers."
T15J7 "The ego will NEVER let you perceive this, for this recognition WILL make it homeless."
T15J7 "For, when this recognition dawns clearly, you will NOT be deceived by ANY form the ego takes, to protect itself FROM your sight."
T15J7 "Each form will be recognized as but a cover, for the one idea that hides behind them all."
T15J9 "No partial sacrifice will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but SEEMS to offer kindness, but ALWAYS to MAKE THE SACRIFICE COMPLETE."
T15J9 "You will NOT succeed in being PARTIAL hostage to the ego, for it keeps NO bargains, and would leave you NOTHING."
T15J10 "You will have to choose between TOTAL freedom and TOTAL bondage, for there are no alternatives but these."
T15K3 "And when you have accepted it WITH me, you will GIVE it with me."
T15K3 "All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in OUR relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful."
T15K3 "Pain will be brought to us, and disappear in our presence."
T15K4 "And through peace, you will invite them back, and realize they are where your invitation bids them be."
T15K5 "As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived."
T15K5 "And so long will you also perceive yourself as a VICTIM OF SACRIFICE, JUSTIFIED in sacrificing others."
T15K7 "And if you UNDERSTAND this lesson, you will realize that, to sacrifice the BODY, is to SACRIFICE NOTHING."
T15K8 "Let us join in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so will you offer me the love I offer you."
T15K10 "This is the week-end in which a new year will be born from the time of Christ."
T15K10 "Nothing will be lacking, and you will MAKE COMPLETE, and NOT destroy."
T15K10 "I know that you will be released, UNLESS I WANT TO USE YOU TO IMPRISON MYSELF."
T15K10 "In the name of MY freedom, I WILL your release, Because I recognize that we will be released TOGETHER."
T15K10 "So will the year begin in joy and freedom."
T15K10 "This is OUR will."
T16A3 "But of this you may be sure; if you will merely sit quietly by, and let the Holy Spirit relate THROUGH you, you will EMPATHIZE WITH STRENGTH, and both of you will gain in strength, and NOT in weakness."
T16A3 "You will neither to hurt it, NOR TO HEAL IT in your own way."
T16B1 "YOU will learn HIS interpretation of it, if you let Him use YOUR capacity for strength, and NOT for weakness."
T16B2 "He will NOT desert you, but be sure that YOU desert not Him."
T16B2 "You are not sure that He will do His part, because you have NEVER YET DONE YOURS COMPLETELY."
T16B2 "You will NOT know how to respond to what you do NOT understand."
T16B3 "Do not confuse your role with His, for this will NEVER bring peace to anyone."
T16B4 "But be certain that this does NOT mean to do a foolish thing that would hurt either him or you, for what would hurt one WILL hurt the other."
T16B4 "And He will teach you how to meet BOTH, without losing either."
T16B5 "YOU will be able to do this ONLY IN SECRECY."
T16B5 "And you will think that, by meeting the needs of one, you do NOT jeopardize another, because you keep them SEPARATE, and secret from each other."
T16B5 "No needs will long be left unmet, if you leave them ALL to Him Whose FUNCTION is to meet them."
T16B5 "He will NOT meet them secretly, for He would share everything you give through Him."
T16B5 "Leave Him His function, for He WILL fulfill it, if you but ask Him to enter your relationships, and bless them FOR you."
T16C6 "NO evidence will convince you of the truth of what you do NOT want."
T16C7 "For you have come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you WILL yield to its compelling attraction."
T16C7 "Never again will you be wholly willing NOT to listen."
T16C7 "This is a year of joy, in which your listening will increase, and peace will grow with its increase."
T16C9 "For love asks only that YOU BE HAPPY, and will GIVE you everything that makes for happiness."
T16C10 "NOR will you ever do so."
T16D1 "If you will consider WHAT you have taught, and how alien it is to what you THOUGHT you knew, you will be COMPELLED to recognize that your Teacher came from BEYOND your thought-system, and so could look upon it fairly, and perceive it was untrue."
T16D5 "And they will TAKE THE PLACE of what YOU took in, to replace THEM."
T16D7 "This year you will begin to learn, and make learning COMMENSURATE with teaching."
T16D7 "Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching will yet be yours."
T16D7 "As you learn, your gratitude to your SELF, Who teaches you what He IS, will grow and help you honor Him."
T16D7 "And you will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father does."
T16D8 "His little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven, and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined within it."
T16D8 "Have no fear that the attraction of those who stand on the other side and wait for you, will not draw you safely across."
T16D8 "For you WILL come where you would be, and where your Self awaits you."
T16E1 "Your salvation will rise clearly before your open eyes, as you look on this."
T16E1 "The special love relationship will NOT offset it, but will merely DRIVE IT UNDERGROUND, and out of sight."
T16E2 "And until you do, the split will remain unrecognized, AND THEREFORE UNHEALED."
T16E2 "You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed, and will emerge AS YOURSELF."
T16E2 "Be not unwilling now, you are too near, and you WILL cross the bridge in perfect safety, translated quietly from war to peace."
T16E2 "For the ILLUSION of love will NEVER satisfy you."
T16E2 "But its REALITY, which awaits you on the other side, WILL give you everything."
T16E5 "As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long WILL love be an illusion to you."
T16E6 "Yet peace will never come from the ILLUSION of love, but ONLY from its reality."
T16E8 "Across the bridge IS your completion, for you will be WHOLLY in God, willing for NOTHING special, but only to be wholly like unto Him, completing Him by your completion."
T16E9 "And will lead you straight to Him, where YOUR completion rests, WHOLLY compatible with His."
T16E12 "We will take the last foolish journey AWAY FROM truth together."
T16F2 "It does not APPEAR to be a weapon, but if you consider HOW you VALUE it, and why, you will realize what it MUST be."
T16F8 "For NEITHER will recognize that HE HAS ASKED FOR HELL, and so he will NOT interfere with the ego's ILLUSION of Heaven, which it offered him TO INTERFERE WITH HEAVEN."
T16F12 "And it is NEVER completed, nor ever will BE completed."
T16F12 "There IS no meaning in the form, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE."
T16F14 "And you WILL fail to do this, to the extent to which you WANT them to be true."
T16F15 "Remember this, and you will have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it IS, and nothing more."
T16F16 "You will cross the bridge into reality, simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side AND NOTHING AT ALL IS HERE."
T16G1 "Love HAS no meaning except as its Creator defined it, by His Will."
T16G2 "As you release, so will you BE released."
T16G2 "FORGET THIS NOT, or love will be unable to find you, and comfort you."
T16G3 "And what you value, you WILL keep."
T16G5 "Once you have crossed the bridge, the VALUE of the body is so diminished in YOUR sight, that you will see no need at all to MAGNIFY it."
T16G5 "For you will realize that the ONLY value that the body has, is to enable you to bring your brothers TO the bridge WITH you."
T16G7 "Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up, and hurled into reality."
T16G7 "Time is kind, and, if you use it FOR reality, it will keep gentle pace with you, in your transition."
T16G7 "This will not leave you homeless, and WITHOUT a frame of reference."
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 "You HAVE allowed the Thought of your reality to enter your minds, and, because YOU invited it, it WILL abide with you."
T16G8 "Your love for it will not allow you to betray yourself, and you COULD not enter into a relationship WHERE IT COULD NOT GO WITH YOU, for you would NOT be APART from it."
T16G10 "The new perspective you will gain, from crossing over, will be the understanding of WHERE HEAVEN IS."
T16G10 "But, as you cross to JOIN it, IT will JOIN WITH YOU, and BECOME ONE with you."
T16G10 "And you will think, in glad astonishment, that for all this, YOU GAVE UP NOTHING!"
T16G10 "And may the holy instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do, if you but LET it come to you."
T16H7 "But you will not attempt this long."
T16H7 "In the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit WILL prevail, BECAUSE YOU JOINED HIM."
T16H7 "The illusions you bring with you, will weaken the EXPERIENCE of Him for a while, and will prevent you from KEEPING the experience in your mind."
T16H7 "Yet the holy instant IS eternal, and your illusions of time will NOT prevent the timeless from being what it is, nor you from EXPERIENCING it as it is."
T16H8 "AND WILL BE TRULY RECEIVED."
T16H8 "You will receive, BECAUSE it is His Will to give."
T16H8 "In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son will ALWAYS be EXACTLY as he was created."
T16H9 "Thus will you learn that YOU have been forgiven, for it is YOU who offered THEM illusions."
T16H10 "The power of God, and all His Love, without limit, will support you, as you seek only your place in the plan of Atonement arising from His Love."
T16H11 "There is NOTHING that will not give place to Him, and to His Majesty."
T16H12 "Let us not wander into temptation, for the temptation of the Son of God is NOT Your Will."
T17B2 "As long as you would have this be, so long will the ILLUSION of order of difficulty in miracles REMAIN with you."
T17B4 "Salvation from separation will be COMPLETE, or will not be at all."
T17B4 "HE will accomplish it; not you."
T17B4 "And you WILL see forgiveness where YOU have given it."
T17C1 "Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you?"
T17C1 "Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness, and nothing will you value like unto this, nor hold so dear."
T17C1 "Nothing that you remember, that made your heart seem to sing with joy, has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you."
T17C1 "FOR YOU WILL SEE THE SON OF GOD."
T17C1 "You will behold the beauty that the Holy Spirit loves to look upon, and that He thanks the Father for."
T17C2 "This little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through time into eternity, and beyond all ugliness, into beauty that will enchant you, and will never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection."
T17C4 "The stars will disappear in light, and the sun, which opened up the world to beauty, will vanish."
T17C4 "Perception will be meaningless, when it has been perfected."
T17C4 "For everything that has been used for learning, will have no function."
T17C4 "Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations that made perception possible, will occur."
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 Great Transformer of perception will undertake WITH you the careful searching of the mind that MADE this world, and uncover TO YOU the SEEMING reasons for your making it."
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 "All this beauty will rise to bless your sight, as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes."
T17C7 "Even salvation will become a dream, and vanish from his mind."
T17C7 "For salvation IS the end of dreams, and, with the closing of the dream, will have no meaning."
T17C7 "It will GIVE you the real world, trembling with readiness to BE given you."
T17D1 "BECAUSE you brought them, YOU WILL HEAR THEM."
T17D2 "You bring them with you ONLY that you may "return" evil FOR evil, hoping that THEIR witness will enable you to think guiltily of another, and NOT harm yourself."
T17D8 "And thus it seeks to guarantee there WILL be no solution."
T17D9 "Its loveliness will so attract you, that you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it again."
T17D9 "And you will LET it transform the relationship, so you can see it more and more."
T17D9 "For you will want it more and more, and become increasingly unwilling to LET it be hidden from you."
T17D9 "And you will learn to seek for, and ESTABLISH, conditions in which this, beauty CAN be seen."
T17D9 "All this you will do gladly, if you but let Him hold the spark before you, to light your way, and make it CLEAR to you."
T17D12 "Which one you choose, YOU will endow with beauty and reality, because the choice DEPENDS on which you value more."
T17E2 "And by that, all that is meant is that He will RESTORE to them the function that was GIVEN them, by God."
T17E2 "Every special relationship that YOU have made IS a substitute for God's Will, and glorifies yours instead of His, BECAUSE OF THE DELUSION THEY ARE DIFFERENT."
T17E3 "Every special relationship which you have ever undertaken has, as its fundamental purpose, the aim of occupying your minds so completely that YOU WILL NOT HEAR the call of truth."
T17E6 "While this ONE remains, you will not LET the others go."
T17E9 "This gift is given you for your damnation, and if you TAKE it, you WILL believe that you are damned."
T17E11 "But if you accept THIS gift, you will NOT see the frame at all, because the gift can only BE accepted through your willingness to focus ALL your attention ON THE PICTURE."
T17E11 "If you focus on the picture, you will realize that it was only the frame that made you THINK it was a picture."
T17E14 "And what you SEE there, YOU will recognize as what it is; a picture of what YOU THOUGHT WAS REAL, and nothing more."
T17E14 "For, BEHIND this picture, YOU WILL SEE NOTHING."
T17E15 "As God ascends into HIS rightful place and you to yours, you will experience again the MEANING of relationship, and know it to be true."
T17E16 "We will gain EVERYTHING by giving HIM the power and the glory, and keeping NO illusions of where they are."
T17F4 "Yet now, THE GOAL WILL NOT BE CHANGED."
T17F8 "For this will go, and you will see the JUSTIFICATION for your faith emerge, to bring you shining conviction."
T17F9 "You will find many opportunities to blame EACH OTHER for the 'failure' of your relationship."
T17F9 "For it will seem, at times, to have NO purpose."
T17F9 "A sense of aimlessness will come to haunt you, and to remind you of all the ways you once SOUGHT for satisfaction, and THOUGHT you found it."
T17F10 "Is it not certain, that you will remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity?"
T17F10 "Think not your choice will leave YOU comfortless."
T17F14 "Think you not the goal ITSELF will gladly arrange the MEANS for its accomplishment?"
T17F14 "And the means will surely fall in place, BECAUSE the goal is sure."
T17F15 "And YOU will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so."
T17F15 "As you begin to recognize, and ACCEPT the gifts you have so freely given to EACH OTHER, you will also accept the EFFECTS of the holy instant, and use them to correct ALL your mistakes, and free you from THEIR results."
T17F15 "And, learning this, you will have ALSO learned how to release ALL the Sonship, and offer it in gladness and thanksgiving to Him Who gave you YOUR release, and Who would EXTEND it through you."
T17G1 "Now He will work WITH you, TO MAKE IT SPECIFIC, for application IS specific."
T17G2 "The clarification of the goal belongs at the BEGINNING, for it is this that will DETERMINE the outcome."
T17G3 "AND YOU WILL BE WRONG."
T17G4 "The value of deciding, in advance, what you WANT to happen, is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to MAKE it happen."
T17G4 "You will therefore make every effort to OVERLOOK what interferes with the accomplishment of your objective, and concentrate on everything that helps you meet it."
T17G5 "And you WILL see the outcome truly, for deception can not prevail against you."
T17G5 "And you will RECOGNIZE the outcome, BECAUSE you are at peace."
T17G6 "The goal establishes the fact that EVERYONE involved in it WILL play his part in its accomplishment."
T17G6 "No-one will fail in anything."
T17G7 "Confronted with any ASPECT of the situation which SEEMS to be difficult, the ego will attempt to TAKE THIS ASPECT ELSEWHERE, and resolve it there."
T17G7 "And it will SEEM to be successful."
T17G7 "And peace will not be experienced, EXCEPT in fantasy."
T17H1 "There is NO problem in ANY situation that faith will not solve."
T17H1 "There is no SHIFT in any ASPECT of the problem, but will make SOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE."
T17H2 "You WILL make this error, but be not at all concerned with that."
T17H2 "Faithlessness brought to faith, will never interfere with truth."
T17H2 "But faithlessness used AGAINST truth will ALWAYS destroy faith."
T17H3 "The goal's REALITY will call this forth."
T17H3 "For you will see that peace and faith will not come separately."
T17H4 "USE it, and it will carry you straight to illusions."
T17H5 "The goal's reality will call forth, AND ACCOMPLISH, every miracle needed for its fulfillment."
T17H5 "Nothing too small or too enormous, nothing too insignificant or too imposing, too weak or too compelling, but will be gently turned to its use and purpose."
T17H5 "The universe will serve it gladly, as it serves the universe."
T17H7 "YOUR faith will call the others to SHARE your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in you."
T17H8 "And you will see the means you once employed to lead you to illusions, transformed to means for truth."
T17H8 "When the Holy Spirit CHANGED the purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours for His, the goal He placed there WAS extended to every situation in which you entered, or will EVER enter."
T17I2 "Let it enter, and IT will call forth, and SECURE for you, the faith you need for peace."
T17I5 "See only this in EVERY situation, and it WILL be a means for bringing ONLY this."
T17I6 "YOUR PURPOSE HAS NOT CHANGED, and WILL not change, for you ACCEPTED what can NEVER change."
T18B4 "When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rise to frighten you, say only, 'God is NOT fear, but love,' and it will disappear."
T18B4 "THE TRUTH WILL SAVE YOU."
T18B7 "The original error has not entered here, nor ever will."
T18B11 "Accept it HERE, and you WILL give as you have accepted and received."
T18C3 "No limits on substitution are laid upon you; for a time, it seems as if the world were GIVEN you, to make it what you will."
T18C7 "And while you see more VALUE in sleeping than in waking, you will NOT let go of it."
T18C8 "Your special relationships will remain, NOT as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom."
T18C8 "It will NOT be for you alone, for therein lay its misery."
T18C8 "As its UNholiness kept it as a thing apart, its HOLINESS will become an offering to everyone."
T18C9 "Your special relationship will be a means for UNDOING guilt in everyone blessed through your holy relationship."
T18C9 "It will be a happy dream, and one which you will SHARE with all who come within your sight."
T18C9 "Through it, the blessing that the Holy Spirit has laid upon it, will be EXTENDED."
T18C9 "And He will waken everyone through you, who offered your relationship to Him."
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."
T18C11 "For this dream comes from your will, JOINED with the Will of God."
T18C11 "And what THIS will would HAVE accomplished, has never NOT been done."
T18D2 "As the light comes nearer, you WILL rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of fear, and sometimes to stark terror."
T18D2 "But you WILL advance, because your goal IS the advance from fear to truth."
T18D2 "Let us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal IS light."
T18D5 "You will succeed only in frightening yourselves."
T18D5 "The will of God IS granted you."
T18D6 "Each instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is possible, and will strengthen your DESIRE to reach it."
T18D6 "YOUR desire is now in COMPLETE accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's Will."
T18D6 "No little faltering footsteps that you may take can separate your desire from His Will, and from His STRENGTH."
T18D6 "YOU WILL NOT SEPARATE for I stand with you, and walk with you in your advance to truth."
T18D7 "Those who would see WILL see."
T18D7 "And they will join with me in carrying THEIR light into the darkness, when the darkness in them is OFFERED to the light, and is removed forever."
T18D9 "You have FOUND each other, and will light each other's way."
T18D9 "And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God, to shine away the past and so make room for His Eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light."
T18E1 "Do not attempt to give the Holy Spirit what He does NOT ask, or you will add the ego unto Him, and CONFUSE THE TWO."
T18E3 "Humility will NEVER ask that you remain content with littleness."
T18E3 "And if you believe He cannot enter where He wills to be, you MUST be INTERFERING with His Will."
T18E3 "You do not need the strength of willingness to come from YOU, but only from HIS Will."
T18E4 "It is ALWAYS the result of your SMALL willingness COMBINED with the unlimited power of HIS Will."
T18E7 "Add MORE, and you will merely TAKE AWAY the little that is asked."
T18E7 "And it is ONLY fear that you will add, if you prepare YOURSELF for love."
T18E9 "What you believe to be impossible WILL BE, if God so wills it, but you will remain quite UNAWARE of it."
T18F2 "On your little faith, joined with HIS understanding, HE will build your part in the Atonement, and MAKE SURE that you fulfill it easily."
T18F2 "And WITH Him, YOU will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of faith, and rising even to Heaven."
T18F2 "Nor will you use it to ascend to Heaven alone."
T18F3 "Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy instant which you did NOT arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven WITH you."
T18F3 "Nor will He change His Mind about it."
T18F3 "You have accepted one; the other will be provided."
T18F3 "HE will provide the means to ANYONE who SHARES His purpose."
T18F4 "Their message is, "Thy Will be done," and NOT, "I want it otherwise.""
T18F5 "It will become the HAPPY dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe that love is fear, NOT happiness."
T18F5 "And NOTHING will be wanting that would make of it what HE would have it be."
T18F6 "He will NEVER fail in this."
T18F7 "And it WILL come to both at the REQUEST of either."
T18G3 "Unless the mind BELIEVES the body is ACTUALLY acting out ITS fantasies, it will attack the body by INCREASING the projection of its guilt upon it."
T18G4 "And this is ALL it does, when it believes it has attacked the body, It CAN project its guilt, but it will NOT lose it through projection."
T18G5 "And what God created is only what He would have it be, being His Will."
T18G6 "You cannot make His Will destructive."
T18G6 "You can make FANTASIES, in which your will CONFLICTS with His, but that is all."
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."
T18G16 "For peace will join you there, simply because YOU have been willing to let go the limits YOU have placed on love, and JOINED it where it is, and where it led you, in answer to its gentle call to be at peace."
T18H2 "Afterwards, you will see the body again, but never quite the same."
T18H5 "All such attempts will ultimately succeed, because of their purpose."
T18H6 "Your way will be different."
T18H7 "Here is the ultimate release that everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time."
T18H8 "Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation."
T18H10 "He will remain when you forget, and the body's activities return to occupy your conscious mind."
T18H10 "But there will always be this place of rest, to which you can return."
T18H10 "And you will be more aware of the quiet center of the storm, than all its raging activity."
T18H10 "This quiet center, IN WHICH YOU DO NOTHING, will remain with you, giving you rest in the midst of every busy doing on which you are sent."
T18H10 "For, FROM this center, will you be directed how to use the body sinlessly."
T18H10 "It is this center, from which the body is ABSENT, that will keep it so, in your awareness of it."
T18I1 "And while you limit your awareness to its tiny senses, you will not see the grandeur that surrounds you."
T18I2 "Limits on love will ALWAYS seem to shut Him out, and to keep you APART from Him."
T18I9 "And every one you welcome will bring love with him, from Heaven for you."
T18I9 "They enter one by one into this holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone."
T18I10 "The love they BROUGHT with them will STAY with them, as it will stay with YOU."
T18I10 "And, under its beneficence, your little garden will expand, and reach out to everyone who thirsts for living water, but has grown too weary to go on alone."
T18I10 "So will it grow, and stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely little kingdoms locked away from love, and leaving YOU outside."
T18I10 "And you will RECOGNIZE yourself, and see your little garden gently transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven, with all the love of its Creator shining upon it."
T18I11 "It will come, because you came WITHOUT the body, and interposed no barriers which would INTERFERE with its glad coming."
T18I11 "Asking for EVERYTHING, you will RECEIVE it."
T18I11 "And your shining Self will lift the tiny aspect that you tried to hide from Heaven, straight into Heaven."
T18I12 "And you will NOT be able to give love welcome separately."
T18I13 "Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it will fall away."
T18J6 "The body's eyes will NEVER look on it."
T18J6 "Yet they will SEE what it dictates."
T18J6 "The body will remain guilt's messenger, and will act as it directs, as long as YOU believe that guilt is real."
T18J9 "You will NOT bruise yourself against them, in traveling through."
T18K1 "This course will LEAD to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still beyond the scope of our curriculum."
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."
T18K3 "Yet it is THROUGH forgiveness that it will BE remembered."
T18K4 "And when the memory of God has come to you, in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember nothing else."
T18K4 "And memory will be as useless as learning, for your ONLY purpose will be creating."
T19A1 "But we also said that peace without faith will NEVER be attained, for what is WHOLLY dedicated to truth as its ONLY goal is BROUGHT to truth by faith."
T19B2 "And the body WILL seem to be sick, for you have made of it an "enemy" of healing, and the OPPOSITE of truth."
T19B5 "This will NOT harm the body."
T19B5 "But it WILL keep the delusional thought-system IN THE MIND."
T19B6 "This will remain FOREVER true, however much YOU seek to connect them."
T19B13 "There will you see the miracle of your relationship, as it was MADE AGAIN through faith."
T19B13 "And there it is that you will realize that there is NOTHING faith can NOT forgive."
T19B14 "As faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden that He would make of it."
T19B14 "*But Truth will stay forever."
T19C1 "And thus the mind IS guilty, and will forever so remain, unless a mind NOT part of it can give it absolution."
T19C2 "Thus is creation seen as NOT eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition AND DEFEAT."
T19C8 "For this IS its reality; this is the "truth," from which escape will ALWAYS be impossible."
T19D1 "Sin will be repeated, BECAUSE of this attraction."
T19D1 "Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but, while the guilt REMAINS attractive, the mind will suffer, and not let go the IDEA of the sin."
T19D1 "Sin is an idea of evil that can not BE corrected, and will be forever DESIRABLE."
T19D1 "As an ESSENTIAL part of what the ego thinks you ARE, you will ALWAYS want it."
T19D2 "And what is true MUST be eternal, and WILL be repeated endlessly."
T19D2 "For what you think is real YOU WANT, and will NOT let it go."
T19D3 "Now you will NOT repeat it; you will merely stop, and let it go."
T19D3 "For then, you will but change the FORM of sin, granting that it was an error, but KEEPING IT UNCORRECTABLE."
T19D6 "And this is but an error in perception, which can be easily corrected IN THE MIND, although the body's eyes will see no change."
T19D9 "While you believe that YOUR reality, OR YOUR BROTHER's, is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin."
T19D9 "While you believe that BODIES can unite, you will find guilt attractive, and believe that sin is precious."
T19D10 "For there would be a power BEYOND God's, capable of making another will, which could attack His Will, and OVERCOME it."
T19D10 "And give His Son a will APART from His, and STRONGER."
T19D10 "And each part of His fragmented creation would have a DIFFERENT will OPPOSED to His, and in eternal opposition to Him AND TO EACH OTHER."
T19D12 "You will NOT see it long."
T19D12 "YOU will be healed of sin and all its ravages, the INSTANT that you give it no power over EACH OTHER."
T19D12 "And you will HELP each other overcome MISTAKES, by joyously RELEASING one another from the belief in sin."
T19D12 "In the holy instant, you will see the smile of Heaven shining on BOTH of you."
T19D12 "And you will shine upon each other, in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been GIVEN you."
T19D13 "For sin will NOT prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon."
T19D13 "The barriers to Heaven will disappear before your holy sight."
T19D14 "As this peace expands, from deep inside yourselves, to embrace ALL the Sonship and give it rest, it will encounter many obstacles."
T19D14 "Some of them, YOU will try to impose."
T19D14 "Others will seem to arise from elsewhere; from your brothers, and from various aspects of the world OUTSIDE."
T19D14 "But peace will gently cover them, extending past, COMPLETELY unhindered."
T19D15 "This is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line."
T19D15 "The peace He laid, deep within BOTH of you, will quietly extend to EVERY aspect of your lives, surrounding both of you with glowing happiness, and the calm awareness of COMPLETE protection."
T19D15 "And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him."
T19D16 "You will NOT wait to give him this."
T19D16 "For you will CALL to him and he will answer, RECOGNIZING in your call the call of God."
T19D16 "And you will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given YOU."
T19D16 "All this will you do."
T19D16 "THIS IT WILL DO."
T19D17 "The Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place, where YOU will rest in Him."
T19D18 "And the light in them will show you all that you NEED to see."
T19D18 "When the peace in you has been extended to encompass EVERYONE, the Holy Spirit's function here will be accomplished."
T19D18 "When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy Spirit will gather ALL your thanks and gratitude that you have offered Him, and lay them gently before His Creator, in the Name of His most holy Son."
T19D18 "And the Father will ACCEPT them, in HIS Name."
T19E3 "This little wall of hatred would STILL oppose the Will of God, and keep It limited."
T19E3 "You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little."
T19E3 "God's Will is One, NOT many."
T19E4 "It can NOT contain the Will of God."
T19E4 "Peace WILL flow across it, and join you WITHOUT hindrance."
T19E5 "You CANNOT will APART from this."
T19E5 "The little wall will fall away so quietly, beneath the wings of peace!"
T19E5 "For it will send its messengers from you to all the world."
T19E5 "And barriers will fall away before their coming, as easily as those which YOU would interpose will be surmounted."
T19F5 "For they will bring you word of bones and skin and flesh."
T19F6 "If you send THEM forth, they will see only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the kind."
T19F6 "They will be as careful to let no little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little breaths of love, escape their notice."
T19F6 "And they will return, with all the happy things they found, to share them lovingly with you."
T19F7 "If you send forth ONLY the messengers the Holy Spirit gave you, WANTING no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more."
T19F7 "The world will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt, and softly brushed with beauty."
T19F8 "And I will join you there, as long ago I promised, and promise still."
T19F10 "While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will ALSO believe that it can bring you pain."
T19G4 "For you will neither to get rid of peace, nor to LIMIT it."
T19G4 "What are these obstacles that you would interpose between peace and its going forth, but barriers you place between your will and its accomplishment?"
T19G5 "We will surmount all obstacles TOGETHER, for we stand WITHIN the gates, and not outside."
T19G6 "And in the light of your forgiveness, he will remember who he is, and forget what never was."
T19G8 "Send forth to all the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will answer."
T19G9 "So will YOU learn the freedom that I taught, by teaching freedom to each other, and so releasing me."
T19G9 "And IN Him, it IS possible that our communion, where we are ALREADY joined, will be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all the world, contained in YOU."
T19H2 "Is this your will?"
T19H2 "It will accept you wholly, and give you peace."
T19H2 "The body will seem to BE whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you ASSIGN to it."
T19H3 "But all that LIES in it WILL come with it."
T19H4 "And the correction of YOUR mistake will GIVE you grounds for faith."
T19H5 "It will share the pain of ALL illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will BE the same as pain."
T19H6 "Under fear's orders, the body WILL pursue guilt, serving its master, whose attraction to guilt maintains the whole illusion of his existence."
T19H8 "ego's messages are ALWAYS sent AWAY from you, in the belief that, for your message of attack and guilt, will someone OTHER than yourself suffer."
T19H8 "And, even if YOU suffer, yet someone ELSE will suffer more."
T19I3 "It is the Will of God."
T19I3 "What is impossible to you who choose His Will as yours?"
T19J1 "From the ego came sin and guilt and death, in OPPOSITION to life and innocence, and to the Will of God Himself."
T19J2 "The shrouded figures in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose Will it is they LIVE."
T19J3 "But you who would RELEASE him are but honoring the Will of his Creator."
T19J5 "As you look upon it, so will it seem to be."
T19J8 "The fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's REAL attraction."
T19J9 "In its tiny hands, it holds, in perfect safety, every miracle you will perform, held out to YOU."
T19J9 "Behold this infant, to whom you gave a resting place by your forgiveness of EACH OTHER, and see in it the Will of God."
T19J9 "And everyone who gives him shelter will follow him, NOT to the cross, but to the Resurrection and the Life."
T19K2 "Yet, as His face rises beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's love, peace will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him, and to JOIN with Him at last."
T19K6 "For you realize that if you look on THIS, and LET the veil be lifted, THEY WILL BE GONE FOREVER."
T19K6 "All of your "friends," your "protectors," and your "home," will vanish."
T19K6 "Nothing that you remember NOW, will you remember."
T19K7 "It seems to you the world will utterly abandon you, if you but raise your eyes."
T19K7 "Yet all that WILL occur is YOU will leave the world forever."
T19K7 "This is the re-establishment of YOUR will."
T19K7 "Look upon it, open-eyed, and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things BEYOND you, forces you can NOT control, and thoughts that come to you AGAINST your will."
T19K7 "It IS YOUR WILL TO LOOK ON THIS."
T19K7 "No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death, CAN stand against your will."
T19L1 "The Guide Who brought you here REMAINS with you, and when you raise your eyes, you WILL be ready to look on terror with no fear at all."
T19L2 "You will be ready."
T19L2 "And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here together will OFFER you the innocence you need, and that you will ACCEPT it for my love and His."
T19L5 "For you will share in madness or in Heaven TOGETHER."
T19L5 "And you will raise your eyes in FAITH together, or not at all."
T19L6 "Choose which he is, remembering that you will RECEIVE of him according to your choice."
T19L8 "For HIS redemption he will give you yours, as surely as God created every living thing, and loves it."
T19L8 "And he will give it truly, for it will be both offered and RECEIVED."
T19L8 "And he WILL receive of you what YOU received of him."
T19L9 "Here is the holy place of RESURRECTION, to which we come again; to which we will RETURN until redemption is accomplished AND RECEIVED."
T19L11 "So will we prepare TOGETHER the way unto the Resurrection of God's Son."
T19L12 "Together we will disappear into the Presence BEYOND the veil, not to be lost, but FOUND; not to be seen, but to be KNOWN."
T19L12 "And, knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation will be left undone."
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."
T19L13 "As HE is seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his OFFERING be seen, and so RECEIVED."
T19L13 "Everyone gives as he receives, but HE must choose what it will BE that he receives."
T19L13 "And he will RECOGNIZE his choice by what he gives, and what is given HIM."
T20B4 "If you see glimpses of the face of Christ behind the veil, looking between the snow white petals of the lilies you have received and GIVEN as your gift, you will behold each other's face, and RECOGNIZE it."
T20B4 "But, for your gift of lilies, you WILL know."
T20C2 "It will adorn its chosen home most carefully, making it ready to RECEIVE the gifts it wants, by offering them to those who come unto its home, or those it would ATTRACT to it."
T20C2 "And there they will exchange their gifts, offering and receiving what their minds judge to be worthy of them."
T20C5 "Look you still closer at them now, and you will see your altar is no longer what it was."
T20C6 "For if you do, so will it be to you."
T20C8 "You will not see it with the body's eyes."
T20C8 "And there WILL be no fear in us, for in our vision will be NO illusions."
T20C9 "His innocence will light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar within him, where you laid the lilies of forgiveness."
T20C9 "So will we find what we were MEANT to find, by Him Who leads us."
T20C11 "He will not leave you, nor forsake the Savior from HIS pain."
T20C11 "And gladly will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you behold the open door of Heaven, and RECOGNIZE the home that called to you."
T20D4 "A world of murder and attack, through which you thread your timid way through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little longer, before it overtakes you, and you disappear."
T20D7 "There IS a stranger in him, who wandered carelessly into the home of Truth, and who will wander off."
T20D7 "But he will not remain before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered, and you accepted."
T20D11 "Such is my will for BOTH of you, and for each of you for one another, and for HIMSELF."
T20D11 "Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty our union will be soon."
T20D12 "And where else would they go, but where they will to be?"
T20D12 "Each of you now will lead the other to the Father, as surely as God created His Son holy, and kept him so."
T20E4 "Those who choose freedom will experience only ITS results."
T20E4 "And they will give it only to what GOD has given, to SHARE with them."
T20E5 "Nothing but this can touch them, for they see ONLY this, sharing their power according to the Will of God."
T20E6 "For He Who knows the rest will see to it WITHOUT your help."
T20E8 "Think you, when this has been achieved, that you will rest WITHOUT them?"
T20E8 "Once you accept HIS plan as the ONE function that you would fulfill, there WILL be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not ARRANGE for you, WITHOUT your effort."
T20E9 "He will go before you, making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way."
T20E9 "NOTHING you need will be denied you."
T20E9 "Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away BEFORE you reach it."
T20E9 "As THAT was given you, so will its fulfillment be."
T20E9 "God's guarantee will hold against ALL obstacles, for it rests on certainty, and NOT contingency."
T20F2 "And through your NOT forgetting this, will you remember Who gave the gifts to Him to give to you."
T20F3 "Judge not what is invisible to you, or you will NEVER see it."
T20F3 "It will be GIVEN you to see your brother's worth, when all you WANT for him is peace."
T20F3 "And what you want for HIM, you will receive."
T20F4 "His worth has been established by his Father, and you will RECOGNIZE it as you receive his Father's gift through him."
T20F4 "What is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful vision, that you will merely love him, and be glad."
T20F4 "You will not think to judge him."
T20F6 "All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right now."
T20F6 "The past takes nothing FROM it, and the future will ADD no more."
T20F6 "Here is the perfect faith that you will one day offer to each other, ALREADY offered you."
T20F6 "And here the limitless forgiveness you will give each other is ALREADY given; the face of Christ you yet will look upon ALREADY seen."
T20F7 "And yet have faith that He Who sees the gift in BOTH of you, will offer and receive it for you BOTH."
T20F7 "And through His vision will YOU see it, and through His understanding RECOGNIZE it, and love it as your own."
T20G6 "You CANNOT make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will NEVER be the seat of love."
T20G7 "Idolaters will ALWAYS be afraid of love."
T20G7 "Let love draw near them and OVERLOOK the body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen."
T20G10 "The Holy Spirit rests within it, in the certainty it will endure forever."
T20H1 "But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose."
T20H3 "Remember this, for otherwise you will make the error of believing the MEANS are difficult."
T20H8 "Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him WILL seem real there."
T20H8 "Such was your PURPOSE, and while this purpose seems to have ANY meaning, the means for its attainment will be evaluated as WORTH the seeing, and so you will NOT see."
T20I1 "Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is given YOU who see your brother sinless."
T20I2 "Open the holy place which you closed off by VALUING the something else, and what was never lost will quietly return."
T20I2 "As IT was given you, so will be its EFFECTS."
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."
T20I4 "And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to your Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with radiant purity, and sparkling with the shining lilies you laid upon it."
T20I5 "How can the engine of destruction be PREFERRED, and chosen to REPLACE the holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where HE will dwell WITH you?"
T20I5 "Judgment WILL seem to make your Savior weak."
T20I6 "There is no problem, no event or situation, no perplexity, that vision will not solve."
T20I6 "For it will meet His purpose, seen in UNADJUSTED form, and suited perfectly to meet it."
T20I7 "Look through ITS eyes, and EVERYTHING will stand condemned before you."
T20I7 "All that could SAVE you, you will never see."
T20I7 "Your holy relationship, the SOURCE of your salvation, will be DEPRIVED of meaning, and its most holy purpose bereft of means for its accomplishment."
T21A1 "Therefore, seek not to change the WORLD, but will to change your mind ABOUT the world."
T21A2 "And this you WILL project upon the world."
T21A2 "If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free."
T21A2 "And you will see the WITNESS to the choice you made, and learn from this to RECOGNIZE the one you made."
T21B2 "Judgment will ALWAYS give you false directions."
T21B3 "YOUR question is whether the means by which this course is learned WILL bring the joy it promises."
T21B5 "Listen, and try to think if you remember what we will speak of now."
T21B8 "Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn of love the Son of God sings to his Father still."
T21B8 "The blindness that they made will not withstand the memory of this song."
T21B8 "And they will look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is they sing of."
T21C1 "And, if you choose AGAINST it now, it will NOT be because it is obscure, but rather that this LITTLE cost seemed, in YOUR judgment, to be TOO MUCH to pay for peace."
T21C2 "Acknowledge but that YOU have been mistaken, and ALL effects of your mistakes will disappear."
T21C5 "See only this, and you will also see how circular the reasoning on which your "seeing" rests."
T21C5 "And, as you look upon the change in HIM, it will be given you to see it in YOURSELF."
T21C6 "All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things should HAPPEN to the Son of God, WITHOUT his will."
T21C6 "And thus, without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot BE separated from his own."
T21C6 "This is the Son of God's REPLACEMENT for his will, a mad revolt against what must forever be."
T21C7 "This OTHER will, which seems to TELL you what must happen, you GAVE reality."
T21C8 "Only to stop your INTERFERENCE with what will happen OF ITSELF."
T21C9 "What you desire, you WILL see."
T21C9 "And if its reality is false, you will UPHOLD it by NOT realizing all the adjustments YOU have introduced, to MAKE it so."
T21D2 "This it will follow, grimly or happily, but ALWAYS with faith, and with the persistence that faith INEVITABLY brings."
T21D3 "And, when he is RELEASED from them, it will be simply because he no longer BELIEVES in them, WITHDRAWING faith that they can hold him, and placing it in his freedom INSTEAD."
T21D4 "And, when you have accepted them completely, INSTEAD of yours, you will have need of them no longer."
T21D7 "Then will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and BELIEVING in it, BECAUSE of your desire."
T21D9 "And if you seek to limit Him, you will hate Him BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID."
T21E1 "The Holy Spirit will NEVER teach you that you are sinful."
T21E1 "ERRORS He will correct, but this makes no-one fearful."
T21E2 "Loudly the ego tells you NOT to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God will strike you blind."
T21F3 "Listen to what the ego says, and see what it DIRECTS you see, and it is sure that you will see YOURSELF as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid."
T21F3 "You WILL experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality."
T21F3 "You WILL believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own control, and far more powerful than you."
T21F3 "And you WILL think the world you made directs your destiny."
T21F3 "For this will be your FAITH."
T21F3 "And, if you place your faith in them, you will perceive ANOTHER Self in YOU."
T21F5 "All sorts of QUESTIONS may arise in it, but, if the basic question stems from REASON, it will not ask it."
T21F6 "God's plan for your salvation could not have been established WITHOUT your will and your consent."
T21F6 "Nor does the Will of God wait upon time to be accomplished."
T21F6 "Therefore, what JOINED the Will of God MUST be in you NOW, being eternal."
T21F7 "Its alien nature, TO THE EGO, is proof you will NOT find the answer there."
T21F7 "He has no Thoughts except the Self-EXTENDING, and in this, YOUR will MUST be included."
T21F7 "Thus there MUST be a part of you that KNOWS His Will and SHARES It."
T21F9 "And all of it will COME with any part."
T21F11 "The part of mind where reason lies was dedicated, by your will in union with your Father's, to the UNDOING of insanity."
T21F12 "Faith and belief have shifted, and you HAVE asked the question that the ego will NEVER ask."
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 so you WILL not give it, thus MAINTAINING the belief."
T21G1 "And, if he SHARES this same belief, you BOTH will think that you are damned."
T21G4 "Reason does NOT attack, but takes the place of madness quietly, REPLACING madness if it be the will of the insane to LISTEN to it."
T21G4 "But the insane know not their will."
T21G4 "And, if you would defend the body AGAINST your reason, you will not understand the body OR yourself."
T21G6 "You TEACH him this, and you will LEARN of him EXACTLY what you taught."
T21G6 "Reason will tell you that this fact is your RELEASE."
T21G8 "And here you will lay down the burden of DENYING truth."
T21G10 "And, as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him, reason will tell you that it CANNOT be you stand APART from blessing."
T21H2 "These are the dark ones, silent and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God will strike them dead, and raising up their helplessness AGAINST him."
T21H5 "Yes, it can DREAM it found an enemy, but this will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find another, and never comes to rest in victory."
T21H6 "For, if he focuses on what he CANNOT understand, he will but EMPHASIZE his helplessness, and let sin tell him his enemy must be HIMSELF."
T21H9 "And then it WILL be clear to you that, as you look on the EFFECTS of sin, in ANY form, all you need do is simply ask yourself, "Is this what I WOULD see?""
T21H9 "And if you CHOOSE to see a world WITHOUT an enemy, in which you are NOT helpless, the MEANS to see it WILL be given you."
T21H10 "Reason will tell you why."
T21H13 "Desire what you will, and you shall look on it, and think it real."
T21I3 "Reason will tell you that you CANNOT ask for happiness inconstantly."
T21I3 "Yet he WILL ask, because desire IS a request, an ASKING FOR, and made by one whom God Himself will never fail to answer."
T21I4 "You who complete His Will and ARE His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, -- a power that is NOT lost in your illusions, -- think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided how you would answer the final question."
T21I5 "Here is the future NOW, for time is powerless BECAUSE of your desire for what will NEVER change."
T22B1 "If you attack whom God would heal, and hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator have a DIFFERENT will."
T22B1 "Yet, if you ARE His Will, what you MUST then believe is that you are NOT yourself."
T22B4 "What could be secret from His Will?"
T22B4 "What could your secrets BE except ANOTHER will, that is your own, APART from His?"
T22B6 "You will perceive NO difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you."
T22B6 "And what YOUR sight will show you, you will understand BECAUSE it is the truth."
T22B6 "Nor will it EVER be made understandable, by an interpreter you cannot understand."
T22B7 "Yet what he hears and does not understand WILL BE his native tongue, through which he will communicate with those around him, and they with him."
T22B7 "And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home, and see them there WITH him."
T22B8 "Yet, in this infant is YOUR vision returned to you, and he will speak the language BOTH of you can understand."
T22B9 "This child will teach you what you do not understand, and make it plain."
T22B9 "For his will be no alien tongue."
T22B9 "He will need NO interpreter to you."
T22B10 "Reason will tell you that they MUST have seen each other through a vision NOT of the body, and communicated in a language the body does not speak."
T22B12 "This IS your Father's Will for you, and yours WITH Him."
T22C2 "Yet to PERCEIVE a difference where none exists will surely fail to MAKE a difference."
T22C3 "Reason will tell you that the ONLY way to escape from misery is to RECOGNIZE it, AND GO THE OTHER WAY."
T22C4 "Both reason AND the ego will tell you this."
T22C5 "The ego will assure you now that it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to see NO guilt in anyone."
T22C5 "For reason sees the SOURCE of an idea as what will make it true or false."
T22C6 "And, THROUGH their use, will you gain faith in them."
T22C7 "For you who ARE the same will NOT decide alone."
T22C7 "This course will be believed ENTIRELY, or not at all."
T22C7 "And you will either ESCAPE from misery entirely, or not at all."
T22C8 "Reason will tell you that there IS no middle ground where you can pause uncertainly, waiting to choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell."
T22C8 "Whose function is to save, WILL save."
T22C8 "HOW He will do it IS beyond your understanding, but WHEN must be your choice."
T22C9 "ONLY if it were possible the Son of God could LEAVE his Father's Mind, make himself DIFFERENT, and OPPOSE His Will, would it be possible that the self he made, and all IT made, should be his master."
T22C10 "NOTHING you made has ANY power over you, unless you still would be APART from your Creator, and with a will OPPOSED to His."
T22C12 "Time waits upon its will, and earth will BE as it would HAVE it be."
T22C12 "Here is no SEPARATE will, nor the desire that ANYTHING be separate."
T22C12 "Its will HAS no exceptions, and what it wills is true."
T22D2 "SHARE this belief, and reason will be unable to SEE your errors, and make way for their correction."
T22D5 "Reason will tell you that the FORM of error is not what makes it a mistake."
T22D6 "It is HELD BACK by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else BUT form will be perceived."
T22D6 "These eyes, made NOT to see, will NEVER see."
T22D7 "Reason will tell you that, if form is NOT reality, it MUST be an illusion."
T22D9 "Unholy values will produce confusion, and IN AWARENESS."
T22D9 "He sees within the other what impels him to SIN AGAINST HIS WILL."
T22E1 "For now, if you go straight ahead, the way you were going before you came to the branch, YOU WILL GO NOWHERE."
T22E1 "The whole purpose of coming this far is to decide WHICH BRANCH YOU WILL TAKE FROM HERE ON."
T22E4 "There will be nothing you will NOT be told, if you acknowledge this."
T22E5 "Either alone will see it as a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that separates you now."
T22E5 "Think what will happen after!"
T22E5 "The love of Christ will light YOUR faces, and shine from them into a darkened world that NEEDS the light."
T22E5 "And, from this holy place, He will return with you, not leaving it or you."
T22E6 "YOU will become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself."
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!"
T22E6 "How happy you will be to be TOGETHER, after such a long and lonely journey where you walked alone."
T22E6 "The gates of Heaven, open now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful."
T22E6 "And none who looks upon the Christ in you but will rejoice."
T22E6 "How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil, which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were."
T22E6 "How thankful will they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's forgiveness to dispel their faith in sin."
T22E7 "Every mistake you make the other will gently have corrected FOR you."
T22E7 "And each will be the other's strong protector from EVERYTHING that seems to rise between you."
T22E9 "But hold out your JOINED hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you will learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness."
T22F1 "For anything that needs defense will WEAKEN you."
T22F4 "How likely is it that it will SUCCEED?"
T22F4 "You are NOT joined together by this mouse, but by the Will of God."
T22G1 "No-one but yearns for freedom, and tries to find it, but he will seek for it where he believes it IS, and CAN be found."
T22G1 "He will believe it possible of mind OR body, and he will make the other SERVE his choice, as means to find it."
T22G3 "You WILL be sanctified by one another, using your bodies ONLY to serve the sinless."
T22G3 "And it will be IMPOSSIBLE for you to hate what serves what you would HEAL."
T22G4 "And nothing given it but WILL be used."
T22G4 "Only in your JOINT will does healing lie."
T22G4 "For here YOUR healing is, and here will YOU accept Atonement."
T22G6 "The light you bring you do NOT recognize, and yet you will remember."
T22G7 "And what illusion COULD there be you will NOT recognize as a mistake; a shadow through which you walk COMPLETELY undismayed?"
T22G7 "And they will RECOGNIZE their wills are His, BECAUSE they serve His Will."
T22G8 "You will see your value through each other's eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his Savior IN PLACE of the attacker who he THOUGHT was there."
T22G9 "He will bestow them where they are received and welcomed."
T22G9 "He will use every one of them for peace."
T22G9 "Nor will one little smile, or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake, be lost to anyone."
T22G10 "He will take every one, and make of it a potent force for peace."
T22G10 "He will withhold no blessing from it, or limit it in any way."
T22G10 "He will join to it ALL the power that God has given Him, to make each little gift of love a source of healing for everyone."
T22G11 "And it is only arrogance that would DENY the power of your will."
T22G11 "Think you the Will of God is powerLESS?"
T22G11 "While this remains, so will it seem to be."
T22G13 "But you will NOT remember this, while you believe attack of ANY kind means ANYTHING."
T22G15 "For what ONE thinks, the OTHER will experience WITH him."
T22G16 "For, when you have ACCEPTED it with gladness, you will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His Son."
T23A1 "And what is weak is NOT the Will of God."
T23A1 "And God is feared, as an OPPOSING will."
T23A2 "You will believe that EVERYTHING you use for sin can hurt you, AND BECOME YOUR ENEMY."
T23A2 "And you will fight AGAINST it, and try to weaken it, BECAUSE of this."
T23A2 "And you will think that you succeeded, and attack again."
T23A2 "It is as certain you will fear what you attack, as it is sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless."
T23A2 "And he will see ONLY the sinless, who can NOT attack."
T23A5 "YOUR innocence will light the way to his, and so is YOURS protected, and KEPT in your awareness."
T23A6 "So will you come to understand all that is given you."
T23A6 "In kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine, and everything you once thought sinful now will be re-interpreted as part of Heaven."
T23B1 "But just as certain is its fixed belief it has an enemy that it MUST overcome, and WILL SUCCEED."
T23B2 "Only the mad belief the Will of God can be attacked and overthrown."
T23B2 "You may IDENTIFY with this belief, but never will it be more than madness."
T23B2 "And fear will reign in madness, and will SEEM to have replaced love there."
T23B3 "Be certain that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will EVER meet."
T23B5 "It IS forgotten in the body's life, and, if you think you ARE a body, you will believe you HAVE forgotten it."
T23B6 "The war against yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to make them DIFFERENT from each other, in the belief the one which conquers will be true."
T23B7 "You will remember what you know when you have learned you CANNOT be in conflict."
T23B9 "Here will the Father NEVER be remembered."
T23C8 "Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, NOT forgiveness, is the Will of God."
T23C8 "Think not the ego will enable you to find ESCAPE from what it wants."
T23C12 "This is the "magic" that will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness THAT MAKES IT SANE."
T23C13 "And never will your brother cease his own attack on YOU, for what you stole."
T23C13 "Nor will God end His vengeance upon both, for, in His madness, HE must have this substitute for love, and kill you both."
T23C21 "Certain it is illusions will bring fear, because of the beliefs that they imply, NOT for their form."
T23C23 "For, HAVING taken one, you will NOT RECOGNIZE the rest for what they are."
T23C23 "And they WILL follow."
T23D1 "If it is true attack in ANY form will hurt you, and will do so just as much as in another form which you DO recognize, then it MUST follow that you do not always RECOGNIZE the source of pain."
T23D2 "Yet he will suffer, and will look on his intent in nightmares, where the smiles are gone, and where the purpose rises to meet his horrified awareness, and pursue him still."
T23D6 "You have NOT lingered there in cowering hope, because the guns are stilled an instant and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it will not return."
T23D6 "Not one tree left standing still will shelter you."
T23E2 "So WILL they be, to those who see God's Son a body."
T23E5 "This is your part; to realize that murder, in ANY form, is NOT your will."
T23E5 "From there, will your perspective be quite different."
T23E6 "And God Himself and all the lights of Heaven, will gently lean to you, and hold you up."
T23E8 "And that will last forever?"
T24A1 "He will not fail."
T24A1 "Peace will be yours BECAUSE it is His Will."
T24A1 "Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the universe secure?"
T24A1 "And what illusion that idly seems to drift between them has power to defeat what IS Their Will?"
T24A2 "Not one can be kept hidden and obscure, but it will jeopardize your learning."
T24B1 "Beliefs will never OPENLY attack each other, because conflicting outcomes ARE impossible."
T24B6 "And what decision CAN be made for this, that will NOT hurt you?"
T24B8 "For each demands the other bow to it AGAINST HIS WILL."
T24B9 "For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God?"
T24C2 "ITS pursuit will bring you joy."
T24C2 "Here is a goal that would defeat salvation, and thus run COUNTER to the Will of God."
T24C2 "To value specialness is to esteem an alien will, to which illusions of yourself ARE dearer than the truth."
T24C5 "You CAN defend your specialness, but never will you hear the Voice for God beside it."
T24C6 "And all the world he made, and all his specialness, and all the sins he held in its defense AGAINST himself, will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself, as it returns to take their place."
T24C6 "You will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound."
T24C7 "Nor will you CHANGE his function, any more than you can change the truth in him and in yourself."
T24C8 "Think of the loveliness that you will see within yourself, when you have looked on him as on a Friend."
T24C9 "Just one step more, and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in love."
T24C14 "How could this readiness be reached save through the sight of all your misery, and the awareness that your plan has failed, and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of ANY kind?"
T24D2 "Inviolate it stands, strongly defended with all your puny might against the Will of God."
T24D4 "It will forever more BE unforgiving, for that is what it IS."
T24D4 "A secret vow that what God wants for you will never be, and that you will oppose His Will forever."
T24D5 "He would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you, and what YOU will."
T24D5 "How could they will the death of love itself?"
T24D5 "And God Himself, Who knows that death is NOT your will, must say, "Thy will be done," because YOU think it is."
T24D6 "Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace, in perfect safety, and without the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest."
T24D8 "The slaves of specialness will yet be free."
T24D8 "Such is the Will of God, and of His Son."
T24D8 "And do YOU will that this be done unto your Savior?"
T24D8 "God calls to you from him to join His Will to save you BOTH from hell."
T24D8 "They ask of you but that your will be done."
T24D8 "Forgive your Father it was NOT His Will that you be crucified."
T24E4 "They will NOT stand before it, yet what comfort has ever been in them, that you would keep the gift your Father asks from Him, and give it there instead?"
T24F1 "WISHING MAKES REAL, as surely as does Will create."
T24F3 "How beautiful His hand that holds His brother's, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what CAN be seen and heard, and where he will see nothing, and there IS no sound to hear."
T24F4 "Yet let your specialness direct his way, and YOU will follow."
T24F4 "And both will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark forest of the sightless, unlit but by the shifting, tiny gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of sin and then go out, to lead the other to a nameless precipice and hurl him over it."
T24F8 "He Who willed not to be without His Son could never will that you be Brotherless."
T24F9 "He will exchange His certainty for ALL your doubts, if you agree that He is one with you, and that this Oneness is endless, timeless, and within your grasp BECAUSE your hands are His."
T24G1 "He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice, and fear that what you have will scatter with the wind, and turn to dust."
T24G1 "While he is what he is, you can be sure that God is knowable, and WILL be known to you."
T24G2 "For what God wills is whole, and part of Him BECAUSE His Will is One."
T24G3 "It is His Will you SHARE His love for you, and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you before the world began, and as He knows you still."
T24G4 "Until you see the healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and ALL appearances, you will NOT know the Father OR yourself."
T24G4 "For you will use the world for what is NOT its purpose, and will NOT escape its laws of violence and death."
T24G5 "Let not his specialness obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to will YOU escape."
T24G5 "Yet will his perfect sinlessness RELEASE you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it looks upon."
T24G7 "Yet will you choose in countless situations, and through time which seems to have no end, until the truth be your decision."
T24G8 "Yet will you think it is, until you realize that it is not a part of him who stands beside you."
T24G9 "Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your brother lies asleep, 'til what has been assigned to you is done, and he is risen from the past."
T24G10 "And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the Will of God Who loves each part of Him with equal love and care."
T24H3 "How will you KNOW your worth, while specialness claims you instead?"
T24H5 "Nor will that light go out when it is gone."
T24H8 "Except to say that what is yours will come to you when you are ready."
T24H9 "Look at yourself, and you will see a body."
T24H12 "The Son of God retains his Father's Will."
T24H12 "The son of man perceives an alien will, AND WISHES IT WERE SO."
T24H12 "And what you see will serve that purpose well, and prove ITS own reality to you."
T25A1 "Then will their bodies melt away, that they may frame His holiness in them."
T25B1 "And, in the DOING of it, will you learn the body merely SEEMS to be the means to do it."
T25B2 "Behold the body, and you WILL believe that you are there."
T25B2 "Framed in his body you will see YOUR sinfulness, wherein YOU stand condemned."
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."
T25B5 "Christ and His Father NEVER have been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding, in the part of you that SHARES His Father's Will."
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."
T25C1 "And there is NO exception, nor will there ever be."
T25C1 "The ONLY value that the past can hold is that you learn it gave you NO rewards that you would WANT to keep, for only thus will you be WILLING to relinquish it, and have it gone forever."
T25C3 "Can it make sense to hold the fixed belief that there IS reason to uphold pursuit of what has ALWAYS failed, on grounds that it will suddenly succeed, and bring what it has NEVER brought before?"
T25C6 "But God has set His masterpiece within a frame that will endure forever, when yours has crumbled into dust."
T25C7 "Accept HIS frame instead of yours, and you WILL see the masterpiece."
T25C8 "He will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and YOU will see the dark no more."
T25C8 "His gentleness becomes YOUR strength, and BOTH will gladly look within and see the holiness that MUST be there BECAUSE of what you looked upon in him."
T25C10 "Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who will to make their Father's happiness complete, and theirs along with His."
T25C10 "It was not His Will to be alone."
T25C11 "Nothing has power over you EXCEPT His Will AND yours, who but EXTEND His Will."
T25C11 "YOU are the same, as God Himself is One, and NOT divided in His Will."
T25C11 "His Will is brought together as you join in will that you be made complete by offering completion to your brother."
T25D1 "To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a world in which attack is justified."
T25D1 "To the extent to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you perceive attack cannot BE justified."
T25D5 "The lamps of Heaven are NOT for it to choose to see them where it will."
T25D6 "And when he chooses to AVAIL himself of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was means to justify his anger, turned to an event which justifies his love."
T25D7 "He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace."
T25D7 "He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can, with equal ease and FAR more happiness, bestow forgiveness."
T25D7 "And he will re-interpret ALL temptation as just another chance to bring him joy."
T25D10 "Forgetting not that what he is to YOU will make this choice YOUR future."
T25D10 "Make, then, your choice, but recognize that, in this choice, the purpose of the world you see is chosen, and WILL be justified."
T25E1 "Everyone seeks for what will bring him joy as he defines it."
T25E1 "And THEN the means are chosen once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined ANOTHER way, and sought for differently."
T25E2 "Perception's basic law could thus be said: "You will rejoice at what you see BECAUSE you see it TO rejoice.""
T25E2 "And, while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see."
T25E3 "From you can rise a world they will rejoice to look upon, and where their hearts are glad."
T25E4 "And all their evil thoughts and sinful hopes, their dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die, will disappear before the sun you bring."
T25E4 "YOUR evil thoughts that haunt YOU now will seem increasingly remote, and far away from YOU."
T25E5 "And in the sunlight YOU will stand in quiet, in innocence and wholly unafraid."
T25E5 "And from you will the rest YOU found extend, so that YOUR peace can never fall away, and leave YOU homeless."
T25E5 "Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you."
T25E6 "What aim can supersede the Will of God and of His Son, that Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his ONLY home?"
T25F4 "Together, it will give to each an EQUAL strength to save the other, and save himself along WITH him."
T25F5 "It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for BY his freedom will you gain your own."
T25F5 "How beautiful his sinlessness will be, when you perceive it!"
T25F5 "And how great will be YOUR joy when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you."
T25F5 "And AS you see him, so do YOU define the function he will have for you, until you see him differently, and LET him be what God APPOINTED that he be to you."
T25F6 "But in the love he shows himself is God made free to LET His Will be done."
T25F6 "In each of you, you see the picture of your OWN belief of what the Will of God MUST be for you."
T25F6 "In YOUR forgiveness will you understand His Love for you."
T25F6 "But forget not this; the role you give to him is given YOU, and YOU will walk the way you pointed out to him, BECAUSE it is your judgment made upon yourself."
T25G3 "Will you behold your brother?"
T25G3 "He does not will your Savior be unrecognized by you."
T25G3 "Nor does He will that he remain without the function that He gave to him."
T25G7 "In light, you see it is your SPECIAL FUNCTION in the plan to save the Son of God from ALL attack, and let him understand that he is safe, as he has ALWAYS been, and will remain in time and in eternity alike."
T25H1 "Nor WILL it change."
T25H2 "It CANNOT be the "sinner's" wish for death is just as strong as is His Will for Life."
T25H2 "And is it possible that what He did NOT will can NOT be changed?"
T25H2 "What is immutable BESIDES His Will?"
T25H2 "What wish can rise AGAINST His Will, and BE immutable?"
T25H3 "If you could realize NOTHING is changeless BUT the Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you."
T25H8 "The Son of God can NOT be bound by time or place, or anything God did NOT will."
T25H8 "Yet, if His Will is seen as madness, then the FORM of sanity which makes it most acceptable to those who ARE insane requires special choice."
T25H9 "To this One is given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which will NOT attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness, and SHOW him it is mad."
T25H11 "It is God's Will that you remember this, and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy."
T25H14 "No-one CAN suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled."
T25H14 "Salvation IS His Will BECAUSE you share it."
T25I1 "For, if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you AGAINST your will."
T25I1 "And so you would not learn it IS your will to be without it."
T25I11 "Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love, and there be satisfied."
T25I12 "HIS understanding will be YOURS."
T25I14 "Let love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what GOD's justice has allotted you."
T25J1 "For if you answer "yes," this means you will forego ALL values of this world, in favor of the peace of Heaven."
T25J1 "AND NOT ONE DOUBT THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE will you hold dear, that sin be kept in place."
T25J3 "Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves will ALWAYS be one in which NO-ONE loses."
T25J5 "And UNTIL it has, it will recur because it has NOT yet been solved."
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."
T25J7 "Seek to deny, and you WILL feel denied."
T26A1 "Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to ANYTHING beyond itself."
T26B5 "But judge him not, for you will hear no song of liberation for yourself, nor see what it is given him to witness to, that YOU may see it and rejoice WITH him."
T26B7 "COULD it be that YOU could make his sins reality, and sacrifice his Father's Will for him?"
T26C1 "A problem can appear in MANY forms, and it will do so while the problem lasts."
T26C1 "It WILL recur, and then recur again and yet again, until it has been answered for ALL time, and will not rise again in ANY form."
T26C4 "Would it be fair to punish him because you will not LOOK at what is there to see?"
T26C5 "And you will ASK no sacrifice of him, because you could not will he suffer loss."
T26C5 "The miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him."
T26C5 "Nor will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone."
T26C6 "Think, then, how great your OWN release will be, when you are willing to receive correction for ALL your problems."
T26C6 "You will not keep ONE, for pain in ANY form you will not WANT."
T26C6 "And you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight."
T26C6 "And in its place, the Love of God can be remembered, and will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss."
T26C7 "He cannot be unjust to anyone or anything, because He knows that EVERYTHING that is belongs to Him, and will forever be as He created it."
T26C7 "And all you need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked, will merely fall away, and disappear."
T26C7 "For it is NOT your Father's Will that you should offer or receive LESS than He gave, when He created you in perfect Love."
T26D4 "But what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever make; the last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this world."
T26D5 "It will not go beyond this aim."
T26E4 "Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth."
T26E4 "And YOU will join the lights of Heaven there, and sing their song of gratitude and praise."
T26E5 "For as they come to YOU to be complete, so will you go with them."
T26E5 "And how GREAT will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the Love of God."
T26F1 "And you will go along the way your chosen teacher leads."
T26F1 "For never will another road be made, except the way to Heaven."
T26F8 "Can sin withstand the Will of God?"
T26F9 "This course will teach you ONLY what is now."
T26F9 "And will you not forgive him now, because he made an error in the past that God remembers not, and is not there?"
T26F12 "There IS no hindrance to the Will of God, nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago."
T26G1 "Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you, and will do so."
T26G3 "Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is NOT the Will of God."
T26G3 "He will place them on YOUR throne, when you make room for him on his."
T26H4 "The laws of truth FOREVER will be true, and cannot BE reversed; yet can be SEEN as upside down."
T26H5 "God's Will is One."
T26H5 "And ANY wish that SEEMS to go AGAINST His Will has NO foundation in the truth."
T26H6 "Then would God's Will be split in two, and all creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers, until God becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack unto Himself."
T26H8 "Yet is this wish in line with Heaven's state, and not in OPPOSITION to God's Will."
T26H9 "In joyous answer will creation rise within you, to REPLACE the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete."
T26H9 "And EVERY miracle is possible the INSTANT that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God are One."
T26H10 "What is the Will of God?"
T26H11 "Or is it a mistake about your will, and what you REALLY are?"
T26H12 "Nor never will success BE possible in trying to deceive the Son of God."
T26H13 "Nor will he know himself, nor recognize his will."
T26H14 "What God calls one will be forever one, NOT separate."
T26H14 "His Kingdom IS united; thus it was created, and thus will it ever be."
T26H14 "The miracle but calls your ancient name, which you WILL recognize because the truth is in your memory."
T26H17 "The Unity that specialness denies will save them all, for what is One can HAVE no specialness."
T26H17 "Call on your brother's name, and God will answer, for on Him you call."
T26I1 "The one remaining problem that you have is that you see an interval between the TIME when you forgive, and will receive the benefits of trust."
T26I2 "Unless you so perceive it, you WILL be afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the time its PURPOSE is made yours, and its EFFECTS will come to you."
T26I4 "No purpose has been GIVEN it as yet, and what WILL happen has as yet no cause."
T26I5 "The change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has IN it all effects that you will see."
T26I6 "And you seek to be content with sighing, and with "reasoning," you do not understand it now, but WILL some day."
T26I6 "And THEN its meaning will be clear."
T26J1 "And never will you know He is in YOU as well, while you attack His chosen home, and battle with His host."
T26J7 "In gentle gratitude do God the Father AND the Son return to what is Theirs, and will forever be."
T26K1 "If it occurs at all, it WILL be total."
T26K1 "And its presence, in WHATEVER form, will hide Their Presence."
T26K1 "Confused perception will block knowledge."
T27A1 "Walk you the gentle way, and you will fear no evil and no shadows in the night."
T27A1 "But place no terror symbols on the path, or you will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself will NOT escape."
T27A2 "And what to YOU has been unfair will come to HIM in righteousness."
T27A2 "Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will NOT escape the death you make for him, and in HIS innocence you find your own."
T27B2 "A sick and suffering you but represents your brother's guilt; the witness which you send, lest he forget the injuries he gave, from which you swear he never will escape."
T27B4 "Show THIS unto your brother, who will see that every scar is healed, and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love."
T27B4 "And he will look on his forgiveness there, and with healed eyes will look BEYOND it, to the innocence that he beholds in you."
T27B5 "It is not Will for Life, but wish for death, that is the motivation for this world."
T27B6 "What pleasures COULD there be that will endure?"
T27B6 "Their death will pay the price for all of them, if they enjoy the benefits or not."
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."
T27B8 "Now it is not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be GIVEN, that it may fulfill the function that it will receive."
T27B9 "Then will it send forth the message it received, and by its health and loveliness proclaim the truth and value that it represents."
T27C1 "He HAS attacked, and will attack again."
T27C5 "What you would prove to him you will believe."
T27C6 "The ancient Calling of the Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear."
T27C8 "As long as he consents to suffer, YOU will be unhealed."
T27C8 "Show him YOUR healing, and he will consent no more to suffer."
T27C8 "And laughter will REPLACE your sighs BECAUSE God's Son remembered that he IS God's Son."
T27C14 "In THIS interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you will not even SEE."
T27C15 "And you can rest assured that He will NOT fulfill a function that He cannot understand, and recognize as His."
T27D4 "For what you leave as vacant GOD will fill, and where HE is, there MUST the truth abide."
T27D5 "Yet, in the learning interval, it HAS a use which now you fear, but yet will love."
T27D6 "The picture of your brother GIVEN you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant, will not need defense of ANY kind."
T27D6 "For you will give it OVERWHELMING preference."
T27D6 "And what will ultimately take the place of EVERY learning aid will merely BE."
T27E1 "For its PURPOSE is to make NO resolution possible, and to ensure NO answer will be plain."
T27E3 "For there the problem WILL be answered and resolved."
T27E3 "Outside, there will be no solution, for there IS no answer there that could be found."
T27E3 "The world can ONLY ask a double question, with MANY answers, none of which will do."
T27E4 "But tell it what you want, and it will serve you lovingly and well."
T27E6 "And so, UNLESS the answer tells "of whom," it will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the QUESTION is preserved intact, because it gave the answer to ITSELF."
T27E7 "Here are the answers which will SOLVE your problems, because they stand APART from them, and see what CAN be answered; what the QUESTION is."
T27F1 "ACCEPT the miracle of healing, and it WILL go forth, because of what it IS."
T27F4 "But if you SHRINK from blessing, will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have WITHHELD its peace and comfort, leaving it to die."
T27F5 "And BEING blessed, you will bring blessing."
T27F5 "And suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing gave."
T27F5 "The holy instant's radiance will light YOUR eyes, and give them sight to see beyond ALL suffering, and see Christ's Face INSTEAD."
T27F5 "And what YOU see the world will witness, and will witness TO."
T27F6 "And then, when YOU forget it, will the world remind you gently of what you have taught."
T27F6 "No reinforcement will its thanks withhold from you who let yourselves be healed, that it might live."
T27F6 "It will call forth its witnesses to show the Face of Christ to you who brought the sight to THEM, by which THEY witnessed it."
T27F6 "And happily your brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies."
T27F8 "Your healing WILL extend, and WILL be brought to problems that you thought were NOT your own."
T27F8 "And it will ALSO be apparent that your many DIFFERENT problems will be solved, as any ONE of them has been escaped."
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."
T27F9 "Your part is merely to apply what He has taught you TO YOURSELF, and He will do the rest."
T27F9 "And thus the power of your learning will be PROVED to you, by all the many DIFFERENT witnesses it finds."
T27F9 "Your brother FIRST among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one of them there are a thousand more."
T27F10 "And you will learn that peace is given you, when you accept the healing for yourself."
T27F10 "What occurred within the instant which love entered in WITHOUT attack, will stay with you forever."
T27F10 "YOUR healing will be ONE of its effects, as will your brother's."
T27F10 "Everywhere you go, will you behold its multiplied effects."
T27F10 "Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be FAR less than all there really ARE."
T27G2 "Call pleasure "pain," and it will hurt."
T27G2 "Call pain pleasure, and the pain BEHIND the pleasure will be felt no more."
T27G7 "The holy instant will replace ALL sin, if you but carry its effects with you."
T27G7 "And no-one will ELECT to suffer more."
T27G7 "And Truth WILL be revealed to you who chose to let Love's symbols TAKE THE PLACE of sin."
T27H2 "WITHOUT the clouds, the problem will emerge in all its primitive simplicity."
T27H2 "The choice will NOT be difficult, because the problem is absurd when clearly seen."
T27H4 "For each one thinks that, if he does his part, the condemnation of the world will rest on him."
T27H5 "Nor will the CAUSE be changed by seeing it APART from its effects."
T27H8 "It loves him not, but casts him as it will, in any role that satisfies its dream."
T27H12 "And it is here that it will be undone."
T27H12 "No OTHER cause it has, nor ever will."
T27H14 "And, from THIS dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son."
T27I3 "The "hero" of this dream will never change, nor will its purpose."
T27I5 "And we will see the grounds for laughter, NOT a cause for fear."
T27I8 "The world but demonstrates an ancient truth; - you WILL believe that others do to you EXACTLY what you think you did to them."
T27I8 "But, once deluded into blaming THEM, you will not see the CAUSE of what they do BECAUSE you want the guilt to rest on them."
T27I9 "Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, "My brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle dream, in which this could occur," and you will leave the holy instant with your laughter and your brother's JOINED with His."
T27I10 "This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering, WHATEVER form it takes."
T27I11 "The Holy Spirit will repeat this ONE inclusive lesson of deliverance, until it has been learned, REGARDLESS of the form of suffering that brings you pain."
T27I11 "Whatever hurt you bring to Him, He will make answer with this very simple truth."
T27I11 "And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple statement, "I have done this thing, and it is this I would undo.""
T27I12 "He sees NO differences where none exist, and He will teach you how each one is CAUSED."
T27I13 "How differently will you perceive the world, when this is recognized!"
T27I13 "When you forgive the world YOUR guilt, YOU will be free of it."
T27I13 "And it will be NO secret you are healed."
T28B4 "And change must have a cause that will endure, or else it will not last."
T28B6 "They will surprise you with their loveliness."
T28B6 "The ancient NEW ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it FAR exceeds the span of memory that your perception sees."
T28B6 "Its consequences will indeed SEEM new, because you thought that you remembered not their Cause."
T28B6 "Yet, was It NEVER absent from your mind, for it was NOT your Father's Will that He be unremembered by His only Son."
T28B7 "When you forgive It for YOUR sins, It will no longer BE denied."
T28B8 "There WAS no time in which His Son could be condemned for what was causeless, and AGAINST His Will."
T28B9 "And they will JOIN in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the Mind that caused ALL minds to be."
T28B9 "Their OWN remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards."
T28B13 "What better way to close the little gap between illusions and reality than to allow the memory of God to flow ACROSS it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to reach beyond?"
T28B13 "HE has built the bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son across it."
T28B13 "Have no fear that He will fail in what He wills."
T28B13 "Nor that you be excluded from the Will that IS for you."
T28C6 "You may cause a dream, but never will you give it real EFFECTS."
T28C9 "For THIS confusion has produced the dream, and, while it lasts, will wakening be feared."
T28C9 "Nor will the Call to wakening be heard, because it SEEMS to be the call of fear."
T28C11 "But HALF the lesson will not teach the whole."
T28C12 "Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone, and ALL the dreaming of the world undone."
T28D1 "And, having started, will the way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the dream."
T28D1 "Without SUPPORT the dream will fade away, without effects."
T28D5 "The seeds of sickness and the shame of sin He CANNOT bridge, for He cannot destroy the alien will that He created not."
T28D5 "The miracle will brush them all aside, and thus make room for Him Who wills to come, and bridge His Son's returning to Himself."
T28D7 "And sickness will be seen WITHOUT a cause."
T28D7 "And, in your storehouse, it will make a place of welcome for your Father and your Self."
T28D7 "And they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to come to you."
T28E1 "UNLESS you help him, YOU will suffer pain with him because that is your wish."
T28E2 "For you will lose identity in them."
T28E4 "Let him acknowledge who he IS, by not supporting his illusions by your faith, for if you do, you will have faith in YOURS."
T28E4 "With faith in yours, HE will not be released, and YOU are kept in bondage to his dreams."
T28E4 "And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have SUPPORTED in each other's minds."
T28E4 "Be certain, if you do YOUR part, he will do his, for he will JOIN you where YOU stand."
T28E5 "But if you see there IS no truth in yours, his dreams will disappear before his eyes, and he will understand what MADE the dream."
T28E7 "And when he sees THIS picture, he will RECOGNIZE himself."
T28E7 "If you share not your brother's evil dreams, this IS the picture that the miracle will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin."
T28E7 "And here the Father will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself."
T28E8 "I thank you, Father, knowing you will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son."
T28E9 "He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were."
T28E9 "And there will be NO loss, but ONLY gain."
T28F1 "Except you share it, NOTHING can exist, and YOU exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might create."
T28F3 "Remember if you SHARE an evil dream, you will believe you ARE the dream you share."
T28F3 "And, fearing it, you will not WANT to know your own identity, because you think that IT is fearful."
T28F3 "And you WILL deny your Self, and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator did not make, and where you seem to be a "something" you are not."
T28F3 "You WILL make war upon your Self, Which SEEMS to be your enemy, and WILL attack your brother, as a part of what you hate."
T28F7 "Look at the little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see within yourself, when you have lost the fear of recognizing love."
T28G1 "IT DOES NOT VICTIMIZE, because it has no will, no preferences, and NO DOUBTS."
T28G5 "Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that IT will suffer pain."
T28G5 "And he will keep the promise that you make with him, because it is the one which he has made to God, as God has made to him."
T28G6 "His Son remembers not that he replied "I will," though in that promise he was born."
T28G6 "His secret vows are powerless before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares."
T28G6 "And what he substitutes is NOT his will, who has made promise of himself to God."
T28H1 "A space where God is not, a gap between the Father and the Son is NOT the Will of either, who have promised to be One."
T28H1 "What will can come between what MUST be One, and in Whose Wholeness there can BE no gaps?"
T28H2 "For healing will be one, or not at all, its oneness being where the healing LIES."
T28H4 "It will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it NOT be sick."
T28H5 "The wind WILL topple it, and rain WILL come, and carry it into oblivion."
T28H6 "Would you build your home upon what WILL collapse beneath a feather's weight?"
T28H7 "The winds will blow upon it and the rain will beat against it, but with NO effect."
T28H7 "The world will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength lies NOT within itself alone."
T28H7 "And, with this holy purpose, is it made a home of holiness a little while, because it shares your Father's Will with You."
T29B1 "Conditional upon the right to separate will you agree to meet from time to time, and keep apart in intervals of separation, which protect you from the "sacrifice" of love."
T29B2 "It dictates what its health can tolerate, and what will tire it and make it sick."
T29B3 "The body WILL accommodate to this, if you would have it so."
T29B3 "It WILL allow but limited indulgences in "love," with intervals of hatred in between."
T29B3 "And it WILL take command of when to "love," and when to shrink more safely into fear."
T29B3 "It will be sick BECAUSE you do not know what loving means."
T29C1 "Until you realize you give up NOTHING; until you understand there IS no loss; you will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen."
T29C1 "And you will NOT see the many gains your choice has offered you."
T29C2 "Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret, but cause indeed for glad rejoicing and for hope of peace."
T29C4 "He has laid them at your feet, and asks you now that you will look on them, and take them for your own."
T29C4 "They WILL be healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon you stand, and where His gifts for them are laid."
T29C5 "And when you LOOK on them, you will believe His Presence MUST be there."
T29C9 "The body that is asked to be a god WILL be attacked, because its nothingness has not been recognized."
T29C9 "And you WILL hate it for its littleness, unmindful that the failure does not lie in that it is not MORE than it should be, but ONLY in YOUR failure to perceive that it is nothing."
T29D1 "UNLESS he gives, he will not know he HAS, for giving is the proof of having."
T29D3 "And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is."
T29D3 "In glory will you see your brother then, and understand what REALLY fills the gap so long perceived as keeping you apart."
T29D4 "When light has come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget his Savior, leaving him unsaved."
T29D5 "This is the spark that shines within the dream; that you can help him waken, and be sure his waking eyes will rest upon you first, and in his glad salvation YOU are saved."
T29E3 "It can be in you or someone else, but where it is perceived, it will be there it is attacked."
T29F6 "Because, unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate, and will continue in death's services."
T29G2 "What SEEMS eternal all will have an end."
T29G2 "The stars will disappear, and night and day will be no more."
T29G2 "All things that come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of man; all things that change with time and bloom and fade, will not return."
T29G2 "He will be as he was, and as he is, for time appointed not his destiny, nor sets the hour of his birth and death."
T29G2 "Forgiveness will not change him."
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."
T29H1 "For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls."
T29H1 "Each idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His place."
T29H1 "You will fail."
T29H2 "No-one who comes here but must still have hope, some lingering illusion, or some dream that there is something OUTSIDE of himself that will bring happiness and peace to him."
T29H3 "The lingering illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols, and to seek beyond them for a thousand more."
T29H3 "And each will fail him, all excepting one; for he will die, and does not understand the idol that he seeks IS but his death."
T29H6 "For otherwise, the future WILL be like the past, and but a series of depressing dreams, in which all idols fail you, one by one, and you see death and disappointment everywhere."
T29I2 "In some way you believe they will complete your little self, and let you walk in safety in a world perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence and peace of mind."
T29I4 "He can take NO form in which he EVER will be real."
T29I7 "An idol is beyond where God has set all things forever, and has left no room for anything EXCEPT His Will to be."
T29I8 "Each worshipper of idols harbors hope his SPECIAL deities will give him MORE than other men possess."
T29I8 "And it is THIS that is against God's Will."
T29I9 "But YOU will never be content with being LESS."
T29J2 "So must he judge NOT, and he WILL waken."
T29J2 "For the dream will seem to last while he is PART of it."
T29J2 "Judge not, for he who judges WILL have need of idols, which will hold the judgment off from resting on himself."
T29J3 "Judgment is an INjustice to God's Son, and it IS justice that who judges HIM will not escape the penalty he laid upon HIMSELF within the dream he made."
T29J6 "Except he judges this as does a child, who does not KNOW what hurts and what will heal."
T29J9 "Whenever you feel fear in any form, - and you ARE fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you, - be sure you made an idol, and believe it will betray you."
T29J9 "For, beneath your hope that it will save you, lie the guilt and pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so deep and bitter that the dream can not conceal completely all your sense of doom."
T30A1 "Each one will help a little, every time it is attempted."
T30A1 "And, together, they will lead you both from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams, and out of pain and fear."
T30A1 "We seek to make them habits now, so you will have them ready, and for ANY need."
T30B1 "The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake, will put you well ahead."
T30B2 "The outlook starts with this: "Today I will make NO decisions by myself.""
T30B2 "But it must ALSO mean you will not judge the situations where you will be called upon to make response."
T30B2 "There are rules by which this will not happen."
T30B3 "And say, "If I make no decisions by myself, This is the day that will be GIVEN me.""
T30B3 "These two procedures, practiced well, will serve to let you be directed WITHOUT fear, for opposition will not FIRST arise, and THEN become a problem in itself."
T30B3 "But there will still be times when you have judged ALREADY."
T30B3 "Now the answer will provoke attack, unless you quickly straighten out your mind to WANT an answer that will work."
T30B4 "For you have ALREADY gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a different way from what YOUR version of the question asks will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in which you get YOUR answer to your question."
T30B4 "And you will not get it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what you REALLY want."
T30B6 "This tiny opening will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you need to LET yourself be helped."
T30B7 "Now you have reached the turning point, because it has occurred to you that YOU will gain, if what you have decided is NOT so."
T30B7 "Until this point is reached, you will believe your happiness DEPENDS on being right."
T30B7 "This tiny grain of wisdom will suffice to take you further."
T30B8 "Thus are you made ready for a question that makes sense, and so the ANSWER will make sense as well."
T30B8 "Nor will you fight AGAINST it, for you see that it is YOU who will be helped by it."
T30B9 "But this takes practice in the rules which will PROTECT you from the ravages of fear."
T30B10 "You WILL not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide."
T30B10 "And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose WILL join with you, and tell you what to do."
T30B11 "The day you want you offer to the world, for it WILL be what you have asked for, and will reinforce the rule of your adviser through the world."
T30B11 "What kind of day will you decide to have?"
T30B12 "It needs but two to understand that they can not decide alone, to GUARANTEE the joy they asked for will be wholly shared."
T30B12 "For they have understood the basic law which MAKES decision powerful, and gives it all effects that it will EVER have."
T30B12 "Let this be the ONE reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you want, and give it to the world by having it yourselves."
T30C1 "And all He knows is but YOUR knowledge, saved for YOU, that you may do YOUR will through Him."
T30C1 "God ASKS you do your will."
T30C1 "And Heaven itself but represents your will, where everything created is for you."
T30C2 "UNLESS you do your will, you are NOT free."
T30C2 "God but ensured that you would never LOSE your will, when He gave you His perfect Answer."
T30C2 "Hear It now, that you may be reminded of His Love, and learn YOUR will."
T30C3 "Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice, and YOURS as well, reminding you that it is NOT your will to hate, and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a LITTLE creature with a LITTLE life."
T30C3 "Your will is boundless; it is NOT your will that it be bound."
T30C3 "Remember Him Who has created you, and through YOUR will created everything."
T30C4 "Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born."
T30C4 "No light of Heaven shines except for you, for it was set in Heaven by your will."
T30C4 "He would but KEEP your will forever and forever limitless."
T30C5 "The world awaits the freedom you will give, when you have recognized that YOU are free."
T30C5 "But you will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who GAVE your will to you."
T30C5 "For it is BY your will the world is given freedom."
T30C5 "Nor can YOU be free APART from Him Whose holy Will you share."
T30C5 "And no-one walks upon the earth but must depend on YOUR decision, that he learn death HAS no power over him because he shares YOUR freedom, as he shares your will."
T30C5 "It IS your will to heal him, and because you have decided WITH him, he is healed."
T30D1 "But your will is universal, being limitless."
T30D1 "Idols are LIMITS; they are the belief that there are FORMS which will bring happiness, and that, BY limiting, is all attained."
T30D1 "This LITTLE thing I want, and it will BE as everything to me.""
T30D1 "And this MUST fail to satisfy, because it IS your will that everything be yours."
T30D2 "It is NOT your will to have one."
T30D2 "It will NOT bestow on you the gift you seek."
T30D2 "So you see YOUR will within the idol, thus reducing it to a SPECIFIC form."
T30D2 "But this could never BE your will, because what shares in all creation CANNOT be content with SMALL ideas and LITTLE things."
T30D3 "And, by finding THIS, you will achieve completion in a FORM you like."
T30D3 "This is the purpose of an idol; that you will not look BEYOND it, to the source of your belief that you ARE incomplete."
T30D4 "Your will to be complete IS but God's will, and this is given you BY being His."
T30D4 "And YOUR will could not BE satisfied with empty forms, made but to fill a gap which is not there."
T30D5 "Beyond ALL idols stands his holy will to be but what he IS."
T30D5 "Your will IS granted."
T30D7 "It will ALWAYS be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot, and will be just the same when you remember."
T30D8 "But still and white and lovely will it shine through all eternity."
T30E1 "You WILL attack what does not satisfy, and thus you will not see you made it up."
T30E4 "See ONE in them, and you will see them all."
T30E4 "See NONE in them, and they will touch you not."
T30E6 "And you can make a simple choice that will forever place you far BEYOND deception."
T30E6 "You need not concern yourself with HOW this will be done, for this you CANNOT understand."
T30E6 "But you WILL understand that mighty changes have been quickly brought about, when you decide one very simple thing; you do not WANT whatever you believe an idol gives."
T30E7 "You are but asked to let your will be done, and seek no longer for the things you do not want."
T30E7 "And you are asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you never were, and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will of God."
T30E8 "He is DELIVERED from illusions by his will, and but restored to what he IS."
T30F3 "Yet everyone is certain he will go BEYOND forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in himself."
T30F6 "And they WILL look on Him Whose hand they hold."
T30F6 "And THEN will come the knowledge They are One."
T30F9 "And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost as well as you."
T30F9 "For HE will be delayed when you look back, and YOU will not perceive Whose hand you hold."
T30F9 "The Will of God forever lies in those whose hands are joined."
T30F9 "But when they joined and SHARED a purpose, they were free to learn their will is one."
T30F9 "And thus the Will of God MUST reach to their awareness."
T30G1 "It is here escape from fear begins, and will be made complete."
T30G1 "For it would assume that, by responding in a way which is NOT justified, your PARDON will become the answer to attack which HAS been made."
T30G4 "Nor will you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your brother does not merit."
T30G5 "Forgiveness RECOGNIZED as merited will heal."
T30G5 "There would be one mistake which had the power to UNDO creation, and to make a world which could REPLACE it and DESTROY the Will of God."
T30G7 "Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole, and will remain afraid to look within, and find escape from EVERY idol there."
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.""
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."
T30G9 "Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he COULD not make an error that could change the truth in him."
T30G9 "But what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of God, you will NOT pardon."
T30H7 "It will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the world is an uncertain place, in which you walk in danger and uncertainty."
T30I1 "For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it real again."
T30I5 "It WILL be given you to look upon your brother thus."
T30I5 "And you WILL see the Christ in him because you LET Him come to you."
T30I5 "And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your brother AND in you."
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."
T30I6 "There is no false appearance but will fade, if you request a miracle instead."
T31A1 "All it says is what was never true is not true now, and never will be."
T31A3 "For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your will is NOT your own; your thoughts do NOT belong to you; and even YOU are someone else."
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."
T31A5 "Yet you WILL learn them, for their learning is the ONLY purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the world."
T31A6 "And the power of His Will is in the Voice That speaks for Him."
T31A6 "Which lesson will you learn?"
T31A6 "CAN it be your little learning, strange in outcome, and incredible in difficulty, will withstand the simple lessons being taught to you in every moment of each day, since time began and learning had been made?"
T31A7 "There IS no plan for safety you can make that ever will succeed."
T31A7 "And you WILL learn God's Son is innocent, and see ANOTHER world."
T31A8 "And you will understand it was THIS call that everyone and everything within the world has ALWAYS made."
T31A9 "There is no living thing which does not share the universal will that it be whole, and that you do not leave its call unheard."
T31A10 "But you will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He calls."
T31A10 "He will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that God is Love."
T31A11 "And all the world will GIVE you joy and peace."
T31B2 "What YOU would choose between is NOT a choice, and gives but the ILLUSION it is free, for it will have ONE outcome either way."
T31B5 "For he is asking what will come to you, because you see an image of yourself, and hear your voice requesting what you want."
T31B5 "He is like us, as near or far away from what we want as we will let him be."
T31B6 "BECAUSE he is your equal in God's Love will YOU be saved from all appearances, and answer to the Christ Who calls to you."
T31B7 "The old will fall away before the new, without your opposition or intent."
T31B7 "There will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious, and in need of care."
T31B7 "There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made."
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."
T31B7 "No more than this will you be asked to learn."
T31B7 "But as you hear it, you will understand you need but come away WITHOUT the thoughts you did not want, and that were NEVER true."
T31B9 "An instant spent without your old ideas of who your great Companion is and what he SHOULD be asking for, will be enough to let this happen."
T31B9 "And you will perceive his purpose is the same as yours."
T31C1 "As you prepare to make a choice that will result in DIFFERENT outcomes, there is first one thing that must be overlearned."
T31C6 "Let us be glad that you WILL see what you believe, and that it HAS been given you to CHANGE what you believe."
T31C6 "The body will but follow."
T31C6 "Release your body from imprisonment, and you will see no-one as prisoner to what you have escaped."
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."
T31C6 "Open your mind to change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself."
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."
T31D1 "What MUST go with you, you will take with you whatever road you choose to walk along."
T31D2 "And each is but the means to GAIN that end, for it is here that all its roads will lead, however differently they seem to start; however differently they seem to go."
T31D2 "All of them will lead to death."
T31D2 "The choice is not WHAT will the ending be, but WHEN it comes."
T31D4 "For from this lowest point will learning lead to heights of happiness, in which you see the PURPOSE of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your learning grasp."
T31D6 "And EVERY road that goes the other way will NOT advance the purpose to be found."
T31D7 "All choices in the world depend on this; - You choose BETWEEN your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is given him."
T31D8 "What road in all the world will lead within, when EVERY road was made to separate the journey and the purpose it MUST have, unless it be but futile wandering?"
T31D8 "All roads that lead AWAY from what you are will lead you to confusion and despair."
T31E4 "On this conception of the self the world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the world are safely kept, and those who walk on them will not escape."
T31E7 "Yet is all learning that the world directs begun and ended with the single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you will choose to follow this world's laws, and never seek to go BEYOND its roads, nor realize the way you see yourself."
T31E14 "Your concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless."
T31E14 "And you will not perceive that you can interact but with yourself."
T31E15 "You will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along."
T31E15 "Each one will show the changes in your own relationships, as your perception of yourself is changed."
T31E15 "There will be some confusion every time there is a shift, but be you thankful that the learning of the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind."
T31E15 "And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at last, and leave your mind at peace."
T31E15 "The role of the accuser will appear in many places and in many forms, and each will seem to be accusing you."
T31E15 "But have no fear it will not be undone."
T31E15 "There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know not what you are."
T31E16 "And what you are will TELL you of Itself."
T31F1 "If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so."
T31F2 "Nor will he be the same as he is now an instant hence."
T31F3 "It is your world salvation will undo, and LET you see another world your eyes could never find."
T31F4 "The means are GIVEN you by which to see the world that will replace the one you made."
T31F4 "Your will be done!"
T31F4 "For God Himself hath said, "Thy will be done.""
T31F5 "You who believe that you can choose to see the Son of God as you would have him be, forget not that no CONCEPT of yourself will stand against the truth of what you are."
T31F5 "One vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before, will change the world for eyes that learn to see BECAUSE THE CONCEPT OF THE SELF HAS CHANGED."
T31F6 "Thy will be done, you holy Child of God."
T31F6 "And you ARE worthy that your Will be done."
T31G2 "You WILL perceive them sometimes, but will NOT see them as meaningless."
T31G3 "By focusing upon the "good" in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight, and will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow circling round the "good.""
T31G4 "And this will be your concept of YOURSELF, when you have reached the world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see."
T31G4 "For you will not interpret what you see without the Aid that God has given you."
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."
T31G10 "The holy ones whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or look upon, not knowing who they are; all those you saw an instant and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those you will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born."
T31G12 "It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is held dear."
T31G12 "And while you cherish it, you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of YOU."
T31H4 "They will redeem the world, for they are joined to all the power of the Will of God."
T31H4 "And what they will is ONLY what He wills."
T31H6 "Yield NOT to this, and you will see ALL pain in EVERY form WHEREVER it occurs but disappear as mists before the sun."
T31H6 "Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it, and believe it IS."
T31H7 "To your tired eyes I bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before."
T31H8 "For otherwise you will behold it not."
T31H8 "And thus will all the vestiges of hell, the secret sins and hidden hates be gone, and all the loveliness which they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to our sight, to lift us high above the thorny roads we travelled on before the Christ appeared."
T31H9 "For you WILL hear, and you WILL choose again."
T31H9 "I am as sure that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are, and will forever be."
T31H9 "They will accept the gift I offer them because You gave it me on their behalf."
T31H9 "And as I would but do Your holy Will, so will they choose."
T31H10 "Salvation's song will echo through the world with every choice they make."
T31H10 "And can You fail in what is but Your Will?"
T31H11 "Thy Will is done, complete and perfectly, and all creation recognizes You and knows You as the only Source it has."
W1IN11 "Yet it is the exercises which will make the goal possible."
W1IN13 "The purpose is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each of them is as applicable to one situation as it is to another."
W1IN14 "The aim of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the idea to everything."
W1IN14 "This will not require effort."
W1IN15 "Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling."
W1IN15 "It is their use which will give them meaning to you, and show you they are true."
W1IN15 "None of this will matter, nor decrease their efficacy."
W2L1 "Remain as indiscriminate as possible in selecting subjects for its application, do not concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include everything in an area or you will introduce strain."
W4L1 "You will find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none of them can be called "good" or "bad.""
W4L3 "This is a major exercise, and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat different form."
W4L4 "We will return to them later."
W5L1 "The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different."
W5L4 "For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same.""
W6L3 "For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same""
W7L3 "How else would you know whether or not this kind of cup will break if you drop it?"
W9L1 "But while you may be able to accept it intellectually, it is unlikely that it will mean anything to you as yet."
W9L2 "Each little step will clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will finally come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been cleared of the debris which darkens it."
W10L1 "We have made this distinction before, and will again."
W10L1 "When you do, you will have no doubt that what you once believed were your thoughts did not mean anything."
W10L4 "Then add: "This idea will help to release me from all that I now believe.""
W10L5 "Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly before applying it specifically, and also to add: "This idea will help to release me from all that I now believe.""
W11L4 "Three practice periods today will probably be sufficient."
W12L5 "The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you will see His."
W13L1 "However, it does not follow that you will not perceive something that has no meaning."
W13L1 "On the contrary, you will be particularly likely to think you do perceive it."
W13L3 "If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the world with attributes which it does not possess, and crowd it with images that do not exist."
W13L5 "You are not expected to believe the statement at this point, and will probably try to dismiss it as preposterous."
W13L6 "That will suffice at present."
W14L2 "If you do, it will be because you really understand what they are for."
W14L3 "Some of them will lead you directly into fear."
W14L3 "You will not be left there."
W14L3 "You will go far beyond it."
W15L2 "This introductory idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing will not have much meaning for you."
W15L2 "You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see now."
W15L2 "You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when this has occurred."
W15L3 "They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and they are not related to knowledge."
W15L3 "These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you."
W15L3 "But they will prepare the way to it."
W15L5 "Although you will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as possible."
W15L5 "Less than a minute will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy."
W16L2 "You can indeed multiply nothing, but you will not extend it by doing so."
W16L3 "We will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it."
W16L4 "You will find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial distinctions."
W16L7 "If strain is experienced, three will be enough."
W18L1 "It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress later."
W18L2 "Therefore, the exercises for today will emphasize this aspect of your perception."
W18L3 " A minute or so or even less will be sufficient."
W19L1 "You will notice that at times the ideas related to thinking precede those related to perceiving, while at other times the order is reversed."
W19L2 "Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all."
W19L2 "And salvation must be possible because it is the Will of God."
W19L4 "The requirement of as much indiscriminateness as possible in selecting subjects for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by now, and will no longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be included as a reminder."
W19L4 "Lack of order in this connection will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles meaningful to you."
W20L1 "Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced, and if you give in to resentment and opposition."
W20L2 "And great indeed will be your reward."
W20L3 "His will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth."
W20L5 "You can see them differently, and you will."
W20L5 "What you desire you will see."
W21L2 "You will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury."
W21L3 "You will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on others, on the fallacious grounds that they are more "obvious.""
W22L1 "Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counterattack will preoccupy him, and people his entire world."
W22L3 "I see nothing that will last."
W23L1 "The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will succeed."
W23L1 "Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless."
W23L2 "The effects will change automatically."
W23L4 "Loveliness can light your images, and so transform them that you will love them even though they were made of hate."
W23L4 "For you will not be making them alone."
W23L5 "By taking the first two steps, you will see that this is so."
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."
W24L1 "It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve your own best interests."
W24L1 "Otherwise you will not recognize what they are."
W24L3 "A few subjects, honestly and carefully considered in each of the five practice periods which should be undertaken today, will be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large number."
W24L4 "You will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in mind as part of the desired outcome; and also that these goals are on different levels, and often conflict."
W24L6 "If these exercises are done properly, you will quickly recognize that you are making a large number of demands of the situation which have nothing to do with it."
W24L6 "You will also recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that you have no unified outcome in mind, and that you must experience disappointment in connection with some of your goals however the situation turns out."
W25L2 "When you believe this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the world, instead of attempting to reinforce them."
W26L1 "It is this law that will ultimately save you."
W26L2 "Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack."
W26L4 "Practice with today's idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts."
W26L6 "You will not be able to use very many for one practice period, because a longer time than usual should be spent with each one."
W26L6 "Then go over every possible outcome which has occurred to you in that connection and which has caused you concern, referring to each one quite specifically, saying: "I am afraid ____ will happen.""
W26L7 "As the list of anticipated outcomes for each situation continues, you will probably find some of them, especially those which occur to you toward the end, less acceptable to you."
W27L1 "The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a little nearer."
W27L3 "It will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in conversation or otherwise occupied at the time."
W27L4 "The real question is how often will you remember?"
W27L4 "You will probably miss several applications, and perhaps quite a number."
W28L1 "In these practice periods you will be making a series of definite commitments."
W28L1 "The question of whether you will keep them in the future is not our concern here."
W28L2 "When you have seen one thing differently, you will see all things differently."
W28L2 "The light you will see in any one of them is the same light you will see in them all."
W28L4 "You will not question what we have already defined."
W28L6 "You will be making the same request of each subject which you use in the practice periods."
W28L7 "We will have six two minute practice periods today, in which the idea for the day is stated first, and then applied to whatever you see in looking about you."
W29L2 "You will probably find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point."
W29L3 "When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's idea perfectly."
W29L3 "And you will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult."
W30L1 "From this idea will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before."
W30L1 "Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you."
W31L1 "In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which will be used more and more, with changes as indicated."
W31L2 "You will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the outer."
W31L5 "It is a declaration that you will not yield to it and put yourself in bondage."
W32L1 "You will see it or not see it, as you wish."
W32L1 "While you want it you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be there for you to see."
W32L2 "However, since you see them as different, the practice periods for today will again include two phases, one involving the world you see outside you, and the other the world you see in your mind."
W32L3 "Again we will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the idea for today two or three times, while looking around at the world you see as outside yourself."
W33L4 "Closing your eyes will probably help in this form of application."
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.""
W35L1 "It does, however, describe what vision will show you."
W35L2 "You will believe that you are part of where you think you are."
W35L3 "We will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's idea, because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver, rather than on what he perceives."
W35L5 "In the earlier part of the mind-searching period, you will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more negative aspects of your perception of yourself."
W35L7 "They will occur to you as various situations, personalities, and events in which you figure cross your mind."
W35L8 "During the longer exercise periods, there will probably be intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you."
W37L2 "Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something."
W37L2 "As a result, the perceiver will lose."
W37L2 "Nor will he have any idea why he is losing."
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."
W38L3 "We will make no distinctions because there are no distinctions."
W39L3 "Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world."
W39L4 "Your holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future."
W39L7 "And it is your blessing on them that will save you and give you vision."
W39L9 "It will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and less distractible."
W40L1 "Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are."
W40L2 "You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it more helpful if you do."
W40L3 "If only a brief period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do."
W41L1 "Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment which all the separated ones experience."
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."
W41L6 "There will be only one long practice period today."
W41L8 "The way will open if you believe that it is possible."
W41L8 "We will go into more detail in connection with this kind of practice as we go along."
W41L8 "But it will never fail completely, and instant success is possible."
W42L1 "You will see because it is the Will of God."
W42L3 "We will have two three-to-five-minute longer exercise periods today, one as soon as possible after you wake, and another as close as possible to the time you go to sleep."
W42L7 "The more often you repeat the idea during the day, the more often you will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important to you, and that you have not forgotten it."
W43L1 "With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge."
W44L3 "For that purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested once before, and which we will utilize increasingly."
W44L4 "The form of exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural and difficult for the untrained mind."
W44L5 "You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong resistance."
W44L6 "If you can stand aside from the ego ever so little, you will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and fears are meaningless."
W44L9 "In that case, you will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly."
W45L1 "Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you."
W45L3 "Today we will attempt to reach them."
W45L3 "We will have to look for them in your mind, because that is where they are."
W45L4 "Our three five-minute practice periods for today will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea."
W45L4 "We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real."
W45L4 "We will deny the world in favor of truth."
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."
W45L5 "Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible."
W45L5 "We will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do."
W45L5 "And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do."
W45L5 "There is every reason to feel confident that you will succeed today."
W45L5 "It is the Will of God."
W45L6 "They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were."
W45L7 "Everything that you have thought since then will change, but the foundation on which they rest is wholly changeless."
W45L8 "You will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to go."
W46L7 "They will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or not."
W47L1 "What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?"
W47L4 "Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength."
W47L5 "It is not by trusting yourself that you will gain confidence."
W47L7 "You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a deep peace, however briefly."
W48L2 "Today's practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very frequent."
W49L3 "We will need at least four five-minute practice periods today, and more if possible."
W49L3 "We will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self."
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."
W50L2 "It will not sustain you."
W50L3 "Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances."
W50L3 "It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety."
W50L3 "It will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God."
W50L4 "They will fail you."
W50R11 "Beginning with today, we will have a series of review periods."
W50R11 "Each of them will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting with the first and ending with the fiftieth."
W50R11 "There will be a short comment after each of the ideas, which you should consider in your review."
W50R14 "It will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have learned."
W50R14 "You will need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather than in those which already seem to be calm and quiet."
W50R15 "You will yet learn that peace is part of you, and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are."
W50R15 "And finally you will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your peace is everywhere, as you are."
W50R16 "You will note that for review purposes the ideas are not always given in quite their original form of statement."
W52L2 "When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see."
W52L2 "There will be no past, and therefore no "enemies.""
W52L2 "And I will look with God on all that I failed to see before."
W53L3 "In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist."
W53L5 "The images I have made can not prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so."
W53L5 "My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him."
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 "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."
W55L2 "My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world, and give me the peace God intended me to have."
W55L3 "As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness I will see a world of peace and safety and Joy."
W56L1 "My own real thoughts will teach me what it is."
W56L2 "As it is replaced by truth, vision will surely be given me."
W56L2 "And with this vision I will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love."
W56L4 "Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the Will of my Father."
W56L4 "And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances, and recognize the truth beyond them all."
W57L4 "When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey."
W57L4 "I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it."
W57L4 "And I will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me."
W59L3 "Beyond His Will lie only illusions."
W59L4 "Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will show me."
W60L1 "Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence."
W60L1 "It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to me and raise me to my home."
W60L3 "How safe the world will look to me when I can see it!"
W60L3 "It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now."
W60L3 "Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me."
W60L3 "I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend."
W61L4 "You will want to think about this idea as often as possible today."
W61L6 "Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to sleep as you re-affirm your function and your only purpose here."
W61L7 "This is the first of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks."
W62L1 "It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light."
W62L3 "Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you?"
W62L3 "It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind."
W62L3 "It will take away all fear and guilt and pain."
W62L3 "It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness."
W62L4 "It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be."
W62L4 "And it will help those around you, as well as those who seem to be far away in space and time, to share this happiness with you."
W62L5 "Then devote a minute or two to considering your function, and the happiness and release it will bring you."
W62L6 "Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are true."
W63L2 "Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place, or you will forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell."
W63L3 "Recognizing the importance of this function, we will be happy to remember it very often today."
W63L3 "We will begin the day by acknowledging it, and close the day with the thought of it in our awareness."
W63L3 "And throughout the day, we will repeat this as often as we can: "The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness."
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."
W64L4 "Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be happy."
W64L5 "Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you will make today by remembering that they are all really very simple."
W64L5 "Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness."
W64L7 "Related thoughts will come to help you, if you remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the world."
W64L8 "This will be difficult at first particularly, since you are not proficient in the mind discipline which it requires."
W65L4 "The purpose of this is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the time for God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you will pursue."
W65L6 "After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to find."
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."
W65L8 "It is what you see now that will be totally changed when you accept today's idea completely."
W66L3 "Today we will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle, and arrive at the truth about your function."
W66L3 "We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is."
W66L3 "We will not become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and determining the means for achieving it."
W66L3 "We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth."
W66L3 "We will merely be glad that we can find out what truth is."
W66L10 "You will listen to madness or hear the truth."
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."
W67L1 "We will make every effort today to reach this truth about you, and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth."
W67L2 "In the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature."
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.""
W67L4 "Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that, and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love created you."
W67L4 "Be confident that you will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have succeeded or not."
W67L5 "It will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for today as often as you can."
W68L3 "It is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God created them like Himself and defined them as part of Him."
W68L3 "It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace."
W68L3 "It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will remember."
W68L4 "Today we will try to find out how you would feel without them."
W68L4 "If you succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever again."
W68L5 "Some of these will be quite easy to find."
W68L5 "It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort."
W68L7 "when I let all my grievances go, I will know I am perfectly safe.""
W69L4 "We will make this attempt today."
W69L6 "If you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead."
W69L6 "Your little effort and small determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light."
W69L6 "You are in accord with His Will."
W69L6 "You cannot fail because your will is His."
W69L7 "You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and you will yet receive it."
W69L7 "Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's."
W69L7 "Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may be done."
W69L8 "In the shorter practice periods, which you will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of today's idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the world from your awareness."
W69L8 " Also, be sure to tell yourself: "If I hold this grievance, the light of the world will be hidden from me," if you are tempted to hold anything against anyone today."
W70L4 "Today we will practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the same in this."
W70L5 "We will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them."
W70L5 "We will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be well to decide in advance when would be a good time to lay aside for each of them, and adhere to your own decision as closely as possible."
W70L7 "Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your salvation is."
W70L7 "Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light."
W70L8 "And I assure you that this will be no idle fantasy."
W71L1 "Yet after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe in it."
W71L3 "According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work."
W71L3 "This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion that, although this hope has failed, there is still grounds for hope in other places and in other things, persists."
W71L3 "Another person will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success."
W71L4 "For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it where it is not?"
W71L5 "But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only."
W71L5 "Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are diametrically opposed in all ways."
W71L6 "Only God's plan for salvation will work."
W71L6 "There can be no real conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will save you."
W71L7 "God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not."
W71L7 "They have led to depression and anger, but God's plan will succeed."
W71L7 "It will lead to release and joy."
W71L8 "He will answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice."
W71L9 "In the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will work."
W71L9 "And only His plan will work.""
W72L7 "We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation."
W72L7 "We will try to welcome it instead."
W72L9 "Then we will wait in quiet for His answer."
W72L10 "Ask and you will be answered."
W72L10 "Seek and you will find."
W72L11 "Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom you ask."
W72L11 "He will answer."
W72L12 "One or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today, since they will be somewhat longer than usual."
W73L1 "Today we are considering the will that you share with God."
W73L1 "The will you share with God has all the power of creation in it."
W73L3 "Your will is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is traded back and forth, and grievances increase with each exchange."
W73L3 "Can such a world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his Father?"
W73L3 "Creation is the will of both together."
W73L4 "Today we will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your will."
W73L4 "The light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of God."
W73L4 "Yet the light that shines upon this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will look for it."
W73L5 "Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light."
W73L6 "Such is your will in truth."
W73L6 "And so salvation is your will as well."
W73L7 "We will succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself."
W73L7 "You will to accept God's plan because you share in it."
W73L7 "You have no will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so."
W73L7 "Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will."
W73L7 "Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it."
W73L8 "Therefore we undertake the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your will to find, and remember what it is your will to remember."
W73L8 "Today let your will be done."
W73L9 "We will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your will."
W73L9 "You will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes."
W73L9 "His will is now restored to his awareness."
W73L10 "After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your will clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty: "I will there be light."
W73L10 "Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will and mine.""
W73L10 "Then let your will assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your Self."
W73L11 "Say: "I will there be light."
W73L11 "Darkness is not my will.""
W73L11 "This will help you let your grievances go, instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the darkness."
W74L1 "God's is the only will."
W74L1 "When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your will is His."
W74L1 "As an expression of the Will of God, you have no goal but His."
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 "My will is God's.""
W74L3 ""My will and God's are one.""
W74L3 "Tell yourself immediately: "There is no will but God's These conflict thoughts are meaningless.""
W74L4 "Think about it briefly but very specifically, identify the particular person or persons and the situation or situations involved, and tell yourself: "There is no will but God's."
W74L5 "If you are succeeding, you will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness, rather than a feeling of drowsiness and enervation."
W74L5 "By this experience will you recognize that you have reached it."
W74L7 "In the shorter periods, which should be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals today, say to yourself: "There is no will but God's."
W75L2 "Our exercises for today will be happy ones, in which we offer thanks for the passing of the old and the beginning of the new."
W75L3 "Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see."
W75L3 "We will be given what we desire."
W75L3 "We will to see the light; the light has come."
W75L4 "Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness shows us."
W75L6 "Believe He will not fail you now."
W75L6 "He will be with you as you watch and wait."
W75L6 "He will show what true vision sees."
W75L6 "It is His Will, and you have joined with Him."
W75L7 "He will be there."
W75L7 "From this time forth you will see differently."
W75L7 "And you will see the world that has been promised you since time began, and in which is the end of time ensured."
W75L8 "The shorter practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release."
W75L8 "And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever."
W76L2 "Today we will be glad you cannot prove it."
W76L2 "Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found."
W76L3 "You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off death."
W76L4 "Protect the body and you will be saved."
W76L5 "The body suffers that the mind will fail to see it is the victim of itself."
W76L6 "This needs repeating, - over and over until you realize that it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to His Will."
W76L6 "Only what it is meant to hide will save you."
W76L7 "We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so."
W76L8 "We will begin the longer practice periods today with a short review of the different kinds of "laws" we have believed we must obey."
W76L10 "You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of God."
W76L11 "He will tell you more."
W76L12 "Let us today open God's channels to Him, and let His Will extend through us to Him."
W76L12 "His Voice will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever."
W76L12 "We will now repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's."
W76L12 "Then we will tell ourselves, as a dedication with which the practice period concludes: "I am under no laws but God's.""
W76L13 "We will repeat this dedication as often as possible today; at least four or five times an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day."
W77L1 "You will receive miracles because of what God is."
W77L1 "And you will offer miracles because you are one with God."
W77L1 "It is this that we will celebrate today."
W77L3 "Today we will claim the miracles which are your right, since they belong to you."
W77L3 "Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less."
W77L5 "You are but asking that the Will of God be done."
W77L6 "You will receive the assurance that you seek."
W77L7 "Our shorter practice periods will be frequent, and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact."
W77L7 "You will recognize these situations, you are not relying on yourself to find them, and you are therefore fully entitled to receive them whenever you ask."
W77L7 "Be quick to tell yourself, should you be tempted: "I will not trade miracles for grievances."
W78L1 "And as you raise it up before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond."
W78L2 "We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees."
W78L2 "We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence, to behold the Son of God."
W78L3 "He waits for you behind your grievances, and as you lay them down he will appear in shining light where each one stood before."
W78L3 "Today we will attempt to see God's Son."
W78L3 "We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our grievances."
W78L4 "We will select one person you have used as target for your grievances, and lay the grievances aside, and look at him."
W78L5 "He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us."
W78L5 "Through seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you will learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in everyone, and can be seen."
W78L6 "Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role."
W78L6 "We will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him."
W78L6 "We will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the pain he caused you, his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he gave."
W78L6 "We will regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, as we will think of his mistakes and even of his "sins.""
W78L8 "And what you see through Him will free you both."
W78L10 "We will remember this throughout the day, and take the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not our own."
W79L1 "Even if it is really solved already, you will still have the problem because you cannot recognize that it has been solved."
W79L7 "In our longer practice periods, we will ask what the problem is, and what is the answer to it."
W79L7 "We will not assume that we already know."
W79L7 "We will try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we think we have."
W79L7 "We will try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize."
W79L7 "We will ask what it is, and wait for the answer."
W79L7 "We will be told."
W79L7 "Then we will ask for the solution to it."
W79L7 "And we will be told."
W79L8 "Our exercises for today will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on defining the problem."
W79L8 "Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all our preconceived notions go, but that is not necessary."
W79L9 "The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by time, but by need."
W79L9 "You will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer."
W79L9 "Our efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem and one answer."
W79L10 "You will be heard and you will be answered."
W80L1 "If you are willing to recognize your problems, you will recognize that you have no problems."
W80L3 "Their many forms will not deceive you while you remember this."
W80L4 "In our longer practice periods today, we will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the answer have been brought together."
W80R21 "We will begin where our last review left off, and cover two ideas each day."
W80R21 "The earlier part of the day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other."
W80R21 "We will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in which we practice each of them."
W80R22 "The longer practice periods will follow this general form: Take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the idea and the comments which are included in the assignments."
W80R23 "Be confident that you will receive it."
W80R24 "Do not forget that your will has power over fantasies and dreams."
W80R25 "Some specific forms will be included in the comments."
W81L3 ""This shadow will vanish before the light.""
W81L5 "It is through accepting my function that I will see the light in me."
W81L5 "And in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight."
W81L5 "Yet I will trust that in the light I will see it as it is."
W81L6 ""Let me not separate my function from my will.""
W82L5 "And unless I fulfill my function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me."
W84L2 "I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my Self."
W84L6 ""I will not use this to attack love.""
W85L2 "I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed."
W85L3 ""The light of the world will shine all this away.""
W85L5 "Today I will recognize where my salvation is."
W85L5 "I will not look for it outside myself."
W85L5 "But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself."
W85L6 ""I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.""
W86L1 "71) "Only God's plan for salvation will work.""
W86L2 "I will undertake no more idle seeking."
W86L2 "Only God's plan for salvation will work."
W86L2 "And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail."
W86L3 "These are some suggested forms for applying this idea specifically: "God's plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.""
W86L5 "Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation will not work."
W86L5 "Yet only His plan will work."
W86L6 ""If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.""
W87L1 "73) "I will there be light.""
W87L2 "I will use the power of my will today."
W87L2 "It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal."
W87L2 "I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look on only what it shows me."
W87L2 "This day I will experience the peace of true perception."

W87L4 "74) "There is no will but God's.""

W87L5 "Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred."

W87L6 ""It is God's Will you are His Son (name), and mine as well.""
W87L6 ""This is part of God's Will for me, however I may see it.""
W89L5 "By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit's, and perceive them as one."
W90L3 ""The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me.""
W90L5 "The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him."
W90L5 "And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already."
W90L6 "These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications: "I need not wait for this to be resolved.""
W90L6 ""The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.""
W91L1 "You will see it in the light; you will not see it in the dark."
W91L4 "Today we will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength."
W91L4 "When you have felt the strength in you, which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you will not doubt."
W91L4 "The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in you."
W91L5 "Your will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do whatever it desires."
W91L9 "You will become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you as we go along."
W91L10 "It is from Them your strength will come."

W91L10 "Theirs is the light in which you will see miracles, because Their strength is yours."
W92L5 "Truth is a savior, and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone."
W92L5 "Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love."
W92L8 "The strength in you will offer you the light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell on idle shadows which the body's eyes provide for self-deception."
W92L9 "Its strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you."
W92L9 "Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes, and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are one."
W92L10 "After the morning meeting, we will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will meet again in hope and trust."
W93L3 "These thoughts are not according to God's Will."
W93L4 "Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God."
W93L5 "What power can this self you made possess, when it would contradict the Will of God?"
W93L7 "You are and will forever be exactly as you were created."
W93L8 "In our longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth about our creation: "Light and joy and peace abide in me."
W94L2 "You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity."

W95L3 "We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense."
W95L3 "We will again direct our exercises toward reaching your One Self, which is united with Its Creator."
W95L7 "We will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible."
W95L7 "Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure."
W95L9 "This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning."
W95L11 "Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true."
W95L13 "You are One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will be."
W95L13 "You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self; united with your Father in His Will."
W95L15 "And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today."
W96L1 "The opposites you see in you will never be compatible."
W96L2 "Until you have accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one before, and failing as the next one surely will."
W96L8 "We will attempt today to find this Thought, Whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self."
W96L8 "Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him within your mind."
W96L9 "Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to It and free to serve Its Will."
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 "He will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gifts they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome."
W97L6 "And they will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his thoughts, and uses them to heal."
W97L7 "Thus will your gifts to Him be multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of thousands more."
W97L7 "And when it is returned to you, it will surpass in might the little gift you gave as much as does the radiance of the sun outshine the tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out."
W97L7 "The steady brilliance of this light remains, and leads you out of darkness, nor will you be able to forget the way again."
W97L8 "Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and give it back to you."
W97L9 "And He will speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your Self."

W98L1 "We will not argue it is something else, we will not seek for it where it is not."
W98L3 "They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to do."
W98L3 "They do not doubt their own ability, because they know their function will be filled completely, in the perfect time and place."
W98L3 "They took the stand which we will take today, that we may share their certainty, and thus increase it by accepting it ourselves."
W98L4 "They will be with us; all who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they made."
W98L4 "Those still uncertain, too, will join with us, and borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger still."
W98L4 "While those as yet unborn will hear the call we heard, and answer it, when they have come to make their choice again."
W98L7 "He will give the words you use in practicing today's idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack."
W98L7 "His words will join with yours, and make each repetition of today's idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His in 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."
W98L8 "Today you practice with Him, as you say: "I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.""
W98L8 "In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the world with hope and gladness."
W98L9 "Give Him the words, and He will do the rest."
W98L9 "He will enable you to understand your special function."
W98L9 "He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your words."
W98L9 "He will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true."
W98L9 "And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven."
W98L9 "He will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace."
W98L10 "Throughout the hour let your time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will spend again with Him."
W98L11 "Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He would have you take, and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you, and you with Him."
W99L1 "They both imply that something has gone wrong; something you need be saved from or forgiven for; something amiss that needs corrective change, something apart or different from the Will of God."
W99L5 "Yet does He know one thing must still be true; God still is Love, and this is not His Will."
W99L7 "God still is Love, and this is not His Will.""
W99L8 "You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today."
W99L8 "All the world of pain is not His will."
W99L8 "Then let the Thought with Which He has replaced all your mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which thought the thoughts that never were His Will."
W99L9 "Let in the light, and you will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you."
W99L10 "It is God's will your mind be One with His."
W99L10 "It is God's Will that He has but one Son."
W99L10 "It is God's Will that His one Son is you."
W99L12 "God still is Love, and this is not His Will.""
W100L2 "God's Will for you is perfect happiness."
W100L2 "Why should you choose to go against His Will?"
W100L2 "They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh."
W100L4 "They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who will accept their Father's gifts as theirs."
W100L4 "We will not let ourselves be sad today."
W100L5 "Today we will attempt to understand joy is our function here."
W100L6 "We will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute practice periods, by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father's will and ours."
W100L7 "Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will for us."
W100L8 "He will be there."
W100L9 "He will be there."
W101L1 "Today we will continue with the theme of happiness."
W101L2 "The sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which evens the account they owe to God."
W101L2 "And yet He will pursue, and they can not escape."
W101L3 "Salvation must be feared, for it will kill, but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones before salvation is appeased."
W101L5 "The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause."
W101L6 "God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless."
W101L7 "Fear not the Will of God."
W101L7 "But turn to It in confidence that It will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination."
W101L7 "Say: "God's Will for me is perfect happiness."
W101L7 "So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind."
W101L8 "Remember this today, and tell yourself as often as you can: "God's Will for me is perfect happiness."
W102L2 "Be you free today to join the happy Will of God."
W102L3 "For several days we will continue to devote our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's Will has placed in you."
W102L4 "Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's Will for you: "I share God's Will for happiness for me, And I accept it as my function now.""
W102L4 "You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice, and that you share God's Will."
W102L5 "And be sure that you are joining with God's Will in doing this."
W103L2 "This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today, and teach ourselves: "God, being Love, is also happiness."
W103L3 "God being Love, it will be given you."
W104L2 "These are the gifts which we inherited before time was, and which will still be ours when time has passed into eternity."
W104L2 "Therefore we will to have them now, and know in choosing them in place of what we made, we but unite our will with what God wills, and recognize the same as being One."
W104L5 "So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already, and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts."
W104L5 "We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come to seek for them where He has laid them."
W104L5 "This reminder will we bring to mind as often as we can: "I seek but what belongs to me in truth."
W105L1 "Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us."
W105L1 "And we will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them."
W105L3 "Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift."
W105L3 "God's gifts will never lessen when they are given away."
W105L5 "You will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as well."
W105L5 "Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him."
W105L6 "Today our practice periods will start a little differently."
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."
W106L4 "They will not fade when dreaming ends."
W106L6 "Hear Him today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He will speak today."
W106L6 "It is here, and will today be given unto you."
W106L6 "And you will learn your function from the One Who shows it in your Father's Name for you."
W106L7 "Listen today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world through you."
W106L7 "Thus does salvation start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given away, it will remain with you forever."
W106L8 "The longer exercises should begin with this request for your enlightenment: "I will be still and listen for the truth."
W106L8 "It will begin the ministry for which you came, and which will free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose."
W106L9 "For each five minutes spent in listening a thousand minds are opened to the truth, and they will hear the holy Word you hear."
W106L9 "And when the hour is past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that truth be given them, along with you."
W107L3 "And now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has come."
W107L4 "They will merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your mind."
W107L6 "Give truth its due, and it will give you yours."
W107L9 "Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be apart from Him."
W107L9 "His confidence is with you as you say: "Truth will correct all errors in my mind, And I will rest in Him who is my Self.""
W107L9 "Then let Him lead you gently to the truth which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly."
W107L10 "And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world."
W107L10 "For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world."
W107L10 "They will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the errors which surround the world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind."
W107L11 "Each time you tell yourself with confidence, "Truth will correct all errors in my mind," you speak for all the world, and Him Who would release the world as He would set you free."
W108L1 "Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place."
W108L5 "One thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all thought."
W108L5 "This is the same as saying one correction will suffice for all correction, or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds."
W108L6 "And from there it will extend, and finally arrive at the one Thought Which underlies them all."
W108L7 "We will use this simple lesson in the obvious because it has results we cannot miss."
W108L7 "Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone, and see how quickly peace returns to us."
W108L8 "I will receive what I am giving now.""
W108L9 "Say each one slowly, and then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it."
W108L9 "You will find you have exact return, for this is what you asked."
W108L10 "Our very simple lesson for today will teach you much."
W108L10 "Effect and cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we will make much faster progress now."
W109L1 "And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request."
W109L2 "This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek."
W109L2 "Here is the end of suffering for all the world, and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while."
W109L3 "Completely undismayed this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God."
W109L3 "And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God."
W109L4 "You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God."
W109L4 "They will not hear another voice but yours, because you gave your voice to God and now you rest in Him, and let Him speak through you."
W109L5 "No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God."
W109L7 "And the time when rest will be the only thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their way alone."
W109L7 "And they will hear the bird begin to sing, and see the stream begin to flow again, with hope reborn and energy restored to walk with lightened steps along the road that suddenly seems easy as they go."
W109L8 "You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest."
W110L1 "We will repeat today's idea from time to time."
W110L2 "Today's idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision, which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or place."
W110L8 "He will be your Savior from all idols you have made."
W110L8 "For when you find Him you will understand how worthless are your idols, and how false the images which you believed were you."
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."
W110L9 "And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us, "I am as God created me.""
W110R31 "We will review two of the last twenty ideas each day until we have reviewed them all."
W110R31 "We will observe the special format for these practice periods, which you are urged to follow as closely as you can."
W110R32 "Learning will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time."
W110R32 "But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it which you are asked to give."
W110R36 "Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you."
W110R36 "Have faith, in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail."
W110R36 "The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance."
W110R37 "It will not fail."
W110R312 "Each day's review assignment will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour, and the one to be applied on each half hour as well."
W110R312 "This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great that we begin again on solid ground."
W112L2 "I will remain forever as I was Created by the Changeless like Himself."
W114L2 "98) "I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.""
W114L2 "What can my function be but to accept The Word of God, Who has created me, For what I am and will forever be?"
W114L4 "On the half hour: "I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.""
W116L1 "101) "God's Will for me is perfect happiness.""
W116L1 "God's Will is perfect happiness for me."
W116L1 "And I can suffer but from the belief There is another will apart from His."
W116L2 "102) "I share God's Will for happiness for me.""
W116L2 "I share my Father's Will for me, His Son."
W116L3 "On the hour: "God's Will for me is perfect happiness.""
W116L4 "On the half hour: "I share God's Will for happiness for me.""
W118L1 "105) "God's peace and joy are mine" Today I will accept God's peace and joy In glad exchange for all the substitutes Which I have made for happiness and peace."
W119L1 "107) "Truth will correct all errors in my mind.""
W119L2 "I will forgive all things today, that I May learn how to accept the truth in me, And come to recognize my sinlessness."
W119L3 "On the hour: "Truth will correct all errors in my mind.""
W121L7 "And as you teach salvation, you will learn."
W121L7 "Yet all your teaching and your learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you."
W121L8 "We will devote ten minutes in the morning, and at night another ten, to learning how to give forgiveness and receive forgiveness too."
W121L9 "Yet we will try to learn today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one whom you think of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend."
W121L9 "And as you learn to see them both as one, we will extend the lesson to ourselves, and see that their escape included ours."
W121L10 "He will do."
W121L14 "I will awaken from the dream that I Am mortal, fallible, and full of sin, And know I am the perfect Son of God.""
W122L4 "Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything?"
W122L4 "You will not find another one instead."
W122L6 "As you give you will receive."
W122L8 "What you will remember then can never be described."
W122L9 "Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be ours."
W122L9 "Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but where we would remain no more."
W122L11 "Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you."
W122L12 "Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture."
W123L1 "A day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received."
W123L2 "Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change."
W123L5 "An unheard message will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the message be."
W123L6 "He will bless your gifts by sharing them with you."
W123L7 "And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him."
W123L7 "This holy half an hour given Him will be returned to you in terms of years for every second; power to save the world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him."
W123L8 "Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you."
W124L1 "Today we will again give thanks for our identity in God."
W124L2 "And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on."
W124L4 "Today we will not doubt His Love for us, nor question His protection and His care."
W124L8 "We will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail."
W124L8 "He will do the rest."
W124L9 "Your benefit will not be less if you believe that nothing happened."
W124L9 "Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind."
W124L9 "This half an hour will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you."
W124L9 "And you will see Christ's Face upon it, in reflection of your own."
W124L10 "Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you, to look upon yourself."
W124L10 "When you are ready; you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found."
W124L10 "You will remember then the Thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time was ever better spent."
W124L10 "Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own."
W124L11 "Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure some day, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see."
W125L2 "This world will change through you."
W125L2 "No other means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own will, forever free as God's."
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."
W125L3 "We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged."
W125L3 "Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God."
W125L4 "We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place within your mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and will never leave."
W125L5 "He knows His Son, and wills that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams; regardless of his madness that his will is not His own."
W125L8 "It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of Son."
W125L9 "You will need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body's eyes."
W125L9 "You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true."
W126L1 "Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course will bring about."
W126L8 "You will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed."
W126L9 "It is the thought that will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means, and let you realize its worth to you."
W126L10 "Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He speaks, and recognize He speaks your words to you."
W126L11 "And I will trust in Him.""
W126L11 "And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives will be received by you."
W127L8 "Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer."
W127L8 "And He Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means."
W127L8 "He will shine through your idle thoughts today, and help you understand the truth of love."
W127L8 "In loving gentleness He will abide with you, as you allow His Voice to teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind."
W127L8 "And He will bless the lesson with His Love."
W127L10 "And we will watch it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the world they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy."
W127L11 "We will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us outside our love, if we would know our Self."
W128L2 "Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it will serve no other end but this."
W128L6 "It will be grateful to be free a while."
W128L6 "But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose."
W128L7 "And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it before."
W128L7 "Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape its chains."
W128L8 "And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind, and tell yourself with quiet certainty: "This will not tempt me to delay myself."
W129L1 "You cannot stop with the idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else to hope for you will only be depressed."
W129L2 "Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here."
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?"
W129L3 "Yet even they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go from there to where words fail entirely, into a silence where the language is unspoken and yet surely understood."
W129L5 "Value them not, and they will disappear."
W129L5 "Esteem them, and they will seem real to you."
W130L4 "Today we will not seek for them, nor waste this day in seeking not what can be found."
W130L6 "Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible."
W130L7 "We will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality, as we devote our minds to finding only what is real."
W130L9 "God will be there."
W130L9 "For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude."
W130L9 "Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth."
W130L9 "You will not doubt what you will look upon."
W130L9 "And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this choice."
W130L11 "Accept a little part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed."
W131L3 "For this you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for."
W131L5 "You will find Heaven."
W131L5 "Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you."
W131L5 "It will go because you do not want it."
W131L5 "You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness."
W131L6 "How could the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen?"
W131L8 "Could he lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever?"
W131L8 "Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon His single purpose."
W131L9 "Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth."
W131L9 "How could the Son of God make time to take away the Will of God?"
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."
W131L13 "A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams."
W131L14 "This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you will find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the world, which end together as you pass beyond the door."
W132L2 "Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think."
W132L6 "He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then return again."
W132L6 "Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize."
W132L7 "And some will find it in this course, and in the exercises that we do today."
W132L13 "Release your mind, and you will look upon a world released."
W132L16 "But you will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could never be released alone."
W133L1 "This we will do today."
W133L1 "We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas, but dwell instead on benefits to you."
W133L5 "Therefore, if you learn the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you will make the better choice."
W133L6 "First, if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless."
W133L7 "Next, if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing left."
W133L7 "You therefore will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are there."
W133L9 "Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain."
W133L9 "He will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals."
W133L13 "We will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid aside, and with an honest willingness to value but the truly valuable and the real."
W133L14 "Our two extended practice periods of fifteen minutes will begin with this: "I will not value what is valueless, And only what has value do I seek, For only that do I desire to find.""
W133L14 "Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens, or believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this simple thought: "I will not value what is valueless, For what is valuable belongs to me.""
W134L10 "Thus will you see alternatives for choice in terms which render choosing meaningful, and keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be, and as it is in truth."
W134L14 "Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who will follow us to the Reality we share with them."
W134L16 "Then choose one brother as He will direct, and catalogue his "sins" as one by one they cross your mind."
W134L17 "If you have been practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you will begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your chest, a deep and certain feeling of relief."
W134L18 "Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there will be so many times when you forget its meaning, and attack yourself."
W134L18 "I will not lay this chain upon myself.""
W135L8 "It will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish."
W135L10 "You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions."
W135L10 "And you will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate from its Source."
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."
W135L14 "For everything the mind employs for this will function flawlessly, and with the strength that has been given it and cannot fail."
W135L16 "It does not think that it will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions."
W135L17 "Its past experience directs its choice of what will happen."
W135L21 "And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born."
W135L21 "Your followers will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy."
W135L21 "And gladly will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them nothing, and could only terrify."
W135L22 "We will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us."
W135L22 "We will be sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today."
W135L22 "We make no plans for how it will be done, but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty."
W135L23 "Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize."
W135L23 "But in defenselessness I will be strong, And I will learn what my defenses hide.""
W135L24 "If there are plans to make, you will be told of them."
W135L25 "All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive today."
W135L25 "And in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from release."
W135L26 "Today we will remember Him."
W135L27 "And all the world will take this giant stride, and celebrate your Easter time with you."
W135L27 "I will not defend myself, Because the Son of God needs no defense Against the truth of his Reality.""
W136L9 "And so the body is more powerful than Everlasting Life, Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will."
W136L11 "God knows not of your plans to change His Will."
W136L14 "It is found at any time; today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth."
W136L15 "And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and set us free."
W136L15 "And truth will come, for it has never been apart from us."
W136L15 "I will accept the truth of what I am, And let my mind be wholly healed today.""
W136L16 "Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings."
W136L16 "There will be no dark corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from the light of truth."
W136L16 "There will be no dim figures from your dreams, nor their obscure and meaningless pursuits with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your mind."
W136L16 "It will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the body to obey."
W136L17 "And you will recognize you practiced well by this; the body should not feel at all."
W136L17 "If you have been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure."
W136L18 "As these are laid aside, the strength the body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes."
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."
W137L4 "To be healed is merely to accept what always was the simple truth, and always will remain exactly as it has forever been."
W137L5 "Just as the real world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all, healing offers restitution for imagined states and false ideas which dreams embroider into pictures of the truth."
W137L7 "Just as forgiveness shines away all sin, and the real world will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before the simple truth."
W137L8 "Healing is freedom, for it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the truth."
W137L10 "Perhaps you will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the world, when you let healing come to you."
W137L10 "And legions upon legions will receive the gift which you receive when you are healed."
W137L12 "Would you not offer shelter to God's will?"
W137L12 "Ask the inevitable to occur and you will never fail."
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."
W137L13 "We will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation for the peace of God."
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 "Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering our function with this thought: "When I am healed I am not healed alone."
W138L4 "And when that one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and nothing else is real."
W138L8 "These mad beliefs can gain unconscious hold of great intensity, and grip the mind with terror and anxiety so strong that it will not relinquish its ideas about its own protection."
W138L12 "I make it now and will not change my mind, Because it is the only thing I want.""
W139L7 "And they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt yourself and not to be aware of what you are."
W139L10 "It is but this that we will do today."
W139L10 "Five minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for today."
W139L10 "We start with this review of what our mission is: "I will accept Atonement for myself, For I remain as God created me.""
W139L12 "For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of God and learn the fragile nature of the chains which seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness, as you say: "I will accept Atonement for myself, For I remain as God created me.""
W140L1 "What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body "better.""
W140L8 "We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father placed it there for us."
W140L9 "We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick."
W140L9 "We will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never be a meaningful distinction made between what is untrue and equally untrue."
W140L10 "We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God."
W140L12 " And we will feel salvation cover us with soft protection, and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds, nor offer proof to us that it is real."
W140L12 "This will we learn today."
W140L12 "And we will say our prayer for healing hourly, and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy."
W140R41 "Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next."
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."
W140R45 "Begin each day with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea you will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace."
W140R45 "Five minutes with this Thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed, and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day."
W140R45 "They will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him."
W140R45 "And so each one will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him."
W140R45 "So will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has willed it be."
W140R45 "And as His Own completion joins with Him, so will He join with you who are complete as you unite with Him and He with you."
W140R46 "And we will use no format for our practicing but this:"
W147L1 " 133) "I will not value what is valueless.""
W150L1 " 139) "I will accept Atonement for myself.""
W151L7 "Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize yourself, and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own belief."
W151L7 "He will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what his body's mouth says to your ears, nor what your fingers' touch reports of him."
W151L10 "His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth."
W151L11 "He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster, suffering and loss."
W151L11 "You will no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings and teach the single lesson which they all contain."
W151L12 "He will select the elements in them that represent the truth, and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams."
W151L12 "And He will reinterpret all you see, and all occurrences, each circumstance, and every happening which seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure."
W151L12 "And you will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven's blessing on the world."
W151L13 "So will you see the holy Face of Christ in everything, and hear in everything no sound except the echo of God's Voice."
W151L14 "Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back to you as clean ideas which do not contradict the Will of God."
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 "And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your mind."
W151L18 "And we will hourly remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance."
W152L7 "To think that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over life, all this is arrogance."
W152L8 "Decide but to accept your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made will disappear."
W152L8 "What rises to awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now."
W152L8 "And it will take the place of self deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son."
W152L11 "This day I will accept myself as what My Father's Will created me to be.""
W152L11 "Then will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us."
W152L11 "And He Who never left will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as it was meant to be."
W152L12 "God's Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father."
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."
W153L6 "Perhaps you will recall the course maintains that choice is always made between His strength and your own weakness seen apart from Him."
W153L8 "We will not play such childish games today, for our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our function offers us."
W153L9 "And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world."
W153L11 "God has elected all, but few have come to realize His Will is but their own."
W153L11 "Nor will you learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been accomplished."
W153L11 "For you will not see the light until you offer it to all your brothers."
W153L11 "As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it as your own."
W153L15 "Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while."
W153L15 "We will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as long as possible."
W153L15 "And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God."
W153L15 "Nor will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and joy."
W153L16 "Each hour adds to our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the Will we share with God."
W153L16 "At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes."
W153L16 "Sometimes we will forget."
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."
W153L17 "Yet when we can, we will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love."
W153L17 "And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice, and learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to come; while thanking Him for the gifts He gave us in the one gone by."
W153L18 "In time, with practice, you will never cease to think of Him, and hear His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways, where you will walk in true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes with you."
W153L18 "Think you He will not make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan for the salvation of the world and yours?"
W153L19 "We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength."
W153L19 "We will pause a moment, as He tells us "I am here.""
W153L20 "Our practicing will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind from wandering from its intent."
W153L20 "There can be no doubt that you will reach your final goal."
W154L4 "So is its Self the one Reality in Which its will and That of God are joined."
W154L5 "Nor does he question the right of him who does, nor ask why he has chosen those who will receive the message that he brings."
W154L10 "We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him."
W154L10 "He alone can speak to us and for us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of God's Word; the giving and receiving of His Will."
W154L11 "And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives."
W154L12 "Let us but learn this lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive until we give it."
W154L12 "But this is sure; until belief is given it, you will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more, but will not know that God Himself has left no gift beyond what you already have; nor has denied the tiniest of blessings to His Son."
W154L13 "For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we recognize what we received."
W155L1 "Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them as you were before."
W155L3 "The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence, for those to look upon who chose to come, and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the choice."
W155L7 "All roads will lead to this one in the end."
W155L7 "For sacrifice and deprivation are paths which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which will remain impossible."
W155L10 "Yet at the journey's ending there will be no gap, no distance between truth and you."
W155L10 "And all illusions walking in the way you travelled will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself."
W155L11 "When dreams are over, time has closed the door on all the things that pass and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys."
W155L11 "There will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth."
W155L11 "For as truth goes before us so it goes before our brothers, who will follow us."
W155L13 "You will not fail your brothers nor your Self."
W155L14 "In your name and His Own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought today: "I will step back and let Him lead the way, For I would walk along the road to Him.""
W157L3 "Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning, yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while."
W157L3 "This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self."
W157L4 "He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what He wills."
W157L4 "And having joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you."
W157L5 "For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God."
W157L6 "Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world."
W157L7 "As this experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time; a little more like Heaven in its ways; a little nearer its deliverance."
W157L7 "And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure; the vision more distinct."
W157L7 "The time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it."
W157L7 "Yet now it has a purpose, and will serve it well."
W157L8 "Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of."
W157L9 "Into Christ's Presence will we enter now serenely unaware of everything except His shining Face and perfect Love."
W157L9 "The vision of His Face will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest."
W157L9 "This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning."
W157L9 "Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know again."
W158L2 "The revelation that the Father and the Son are One will come in time to every mind."
W158L4 "When experience will come to end your doubting has been set."
W158L5 "The Father's Will and His are joined in knowledge."
W159L7 "No one will be turned away from this new home, where his salvation waits."
W160L1 "Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to yourself."
W160L2 "Here I belong, and will not leave because a madman says I must.""
W160L6 "His way is lost except a miracle will search him out, and show him that he is no stranger now."
W160L6 "The miracle will come."
W160L6 "And It will call Its Own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its Own."
W160L10 "But you will not remember Him until you look on all as He does."
W161L8 "And he will attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to himself, poised to attack, and howling to unite with him again."
W161L9 "Yet you will take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight which sees him thus."
W161L9 "Attack on him is enemy to you, for you will not perceive that in his hands is your salvation."
W161L9 "Ask him but for this, and he will give it to you."
W161L10 "Your readiness is closer now, and you will come today nearer Christ's vision."
W161L10 "If you are intent on reaching it, you will succeed today."
W161L10 "And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth."
W161L10 "What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember."
W161L12 "And He will answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you, and answer in your own."
W161L12 "And you will see him suddenly transformed from enemy to Savior; from the devil into Christ."
W162L1 "From time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning."
W162L1 "It will mean far more to you as you advance."
W162L2 "There is no dream these words will not dispel; no thought of sin and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away before their might."
W162L2 "And those who live and hear this sound will never look on death."
W162L3 "He will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each time he practices the words of truth."
W163L2 "For it alone will surely come."
W163L3 "For it will come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival."
W163L3 "It will never fail to take all life as hostage to itself."
W163L4 "Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy."
W163L4 "Here is the Will of Father and of Son defeated finally, and laid to rest beneath the headstone death has placed upon the body of the holy Son of God."
W163L7 "Their stronger will could triumph over His, and so Eternal Life gave way to death."
W163L8 "And you will show them this today."
W163L9 "There is no death, for death is not Your Will."
W163L9 "We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is One with Yours eternally."
W164L2 "You will recognize them both."
W164L3 "On this day is grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will today accept the gifts He gives."
W164L4 "All this today you will remember."
W164L4 "Faithfulness in practicing today will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all things you sought before, that you will know that here your treasure is, and here your rest."
W164L5 "And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes."
W164L5 "Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ."
W164L7 "We will not judge today."
W164L7 "We will receive but what is given us from Judgment made beyond the world."
W164L7 "All that we see will but increase our joy, because its holiness reflects our own."
W165L4 "Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be, before it comes to you."
W165L5 "But when you have received, you will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought."
W165L7 "The Thought of Him is still beyond all dreams, and in our minds according to His Will."
W166L1 "And yet, unless your will is one with His, His gifts are not received."
W166L1 "But what would make you think there is another will than His?"
W166L2 "This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real."
W166L2 "Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another will, and one which leads to opposite effects from those He wills."
W166L5 "But he will not look at what is given him."
W166L10 "God's Will does not oppose."
W166L10 "He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will."
W166L12 "He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts, and recognize they are your own."
W166L14 "Your sighs will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release."
W167L5 "As they are made, so will their making be."
W167L5 "As they were born, so will they then give birth."
W167L5 "And where they come from, there will they return."
W167L10 "We will not ask for death in any form today."
W167L10 "Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of Life Eternal has been set by God Himself."
W167L12 "As we were, so are we now and will forever be."
W168L1 "He will love His Son forever."
W168L2 "Would He not gladly give the means by which His Will is recognized?"
W168L4 "Request Him now to give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first will come, with knowledge but an instant later."
W168L6 "Such is His Will because He loves His Son."
W168L6 "And You will come To me who asks."
W169L4 "But we have also said the mind determines when that time will be, and has determined it."
W169L6 "It comes to every mind when total recognition that its will is God's has been completely given and received completely."
W169L7 "We do not hasten it, in that what you will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means."
W169L10 "When revelation of your Oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood."
W169L12 "Experience that grace provides will end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the thought of time but for a little while."
W169L15 "By grace I will release.""
W170L4 "If you consider carefully the means by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands."
W170L8 "Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it, and lay before this mindless piece of stone?"
W170L8 "Or will you make another idol to replace it?"
W170R53 "And if we stumble, You will raise us up."
W170R53 "We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back."
W170R55 "This review will shorten time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and as we practice it is This to which we are approaching."
W170R56 "Yet a Savior must remain with those he teaches, seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the way which led him out, and now will lead you out with him."
W170R58 "And together we will teach them to our brothers."
W170R58 "And as I am made whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before time was, and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last, when time is done."
W170R59 "For this alone I need; that you will hear the words I speak and give them to the world."
W170R511 "And thus when we have finished this review, we will have recognized the words we speak are true."
W173L1 " 155) "I will step back and let Him lead the way.""
W180L3 "But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently."
W180L3 "It is experiencing this which makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets forth."
W180L4 "Your motivation will be so intensified that words become of little consequence."
W180L4 "You will be sure of what you want, and what is valueless."
W180L5 "It will be enough to guarantee the rest will come."
W181L2 "Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly."
W181L2 "Your vision now will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before."
W181L2 "And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond."
W181L4 "And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and restricting thought that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose your way again."
W181L5 "We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us now."
W181L6 "And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our "sins"."
W181L6 "So, for a little while, without regard to past or future, should such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to our minds to change their focus, as we say: "It is not this that I would look upon."
W181L7 "And we will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day."
W181L7 "As each obstruction seems to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin will bring, and uncorrected will remain."
W181L8 "And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world."
W181L8 "This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves."
W181L10 "Our sinlessness is but the Will of God."
W182L4 "Repeat His Name and see how easily you will forget the names of all the gods you valued."
W182L7 "And God will come and answer it Himself."
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."
W182L9 "Today you can achieve a state in which you will experience the gifts of grace."
W182L10 "He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and will forever give."
W183L2 "Others will deny that they are sad, and do not recognize their tears at all."
W183L2 "Still others will maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be considered more than but a dream."
W183L4 "This Childhood is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever."
W183L5 "He will return."
W183L6 "You Will fail Him not."
W183L6 "He will go home, and you along with Him."
W183L7 "He will wait until you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to let Him go in peace, along with you, to where He is at home, and you with Him."
W183L8 "When you are still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His Voice."
W183L8 "So poignantly He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer."
W183L8 "In that instant, He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home."
W183L9 "He asks but they protect Him, for His home is far away, and He will not return to it alone."
W184L2 "By this split you think you are established as a unity which functions with an independent will."
W184L3 "For what is named is given meaning, and will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of true effects, with consequence inherent in itself."
W184L9 "They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought which will release you from them."
W185L2 "For that is all he wants, and that is all he will receive."
W185L3 "Two minds with one intent become so strong that what they will becomes the Will of God."
W185L5 "And he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest."
W185L6 "And if he asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the lesson will meet with acceptance and be truly learned."
W185L8 "Consider but what you believe will comfort you and bring you happiness."
W185L9 "You choose God's peace or you have asked for dreams, and dreams will come as you requested them."
W185L9 "Yet will God's peace come just as certainly, and to remain with you forever."
W185L9 "It will not be gone with every twist and turning of the road, to reappear unrecognized in forms which shift and change with every step you take."
W185L11 "For he merely asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is God's Will."
W185L13 "And when it is as meaningless to you, you can be sure you share One Will with Him and He with you."
W185L13 "And you will also know you share One Will with all your brothers, whose intent is yours."
W186L1 "Here is the statement that will one day take all arrogance away from every mind."
W186L1 "It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth as well as Heaven."
W186L2 "The means are given us by which it will be perfectly accomplished."
W186L3 "Today we will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds that modesty is outraged."
W186L4 "We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer us."
W186L4 "We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom and our holiness."
W186L8 "We will accept the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for ourselves."
W186L10 "These unsubstantial images will go, and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the function given you."
W186L11 "They will not change nor be in conflict."
W186L14 "In this form you can fulfill your function even here, although what love will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is greater still."
W187L1 "The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess."
W187L2 "For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not perceive it yours."
W187L3 "But you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon."
W187L4 "Protect all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them."
W187L4 "For this will change, and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to keep it safe."
W187L5 "There is a giver who retains; another who will give as well."
W187L5 "And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the thought in form most helpful to him."
W187L5 "What he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what will surely be returned to him."
W187L8 "Your blessing will correct it."
W187L9 "The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here."
W187L9 "The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away."
W187L11 "For where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers us His Holiness as ours."
W188L8 "We will not let them stray."
W188L9 "We will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we thought it did to us."
W189L1 "And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world."
W189L5 "But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: You will look upon that which you feel within."
W189L5 "If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers."
W189L8 "God will do His part in joyful and immediate response."
W189L9 "And in our quiet hearts and open minds His Love will blaze Its pathway of Itself."
W189L10 "We will not interfere."
W189L10 "And we ask but that Your Will, Which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now."
W190L1 "There is no form it takes which will not disappear if seen aright."
W190L5 "As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy will as theirs."
W190L6 "And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really want."
W190L7 "As an illusion it is what you will."
W190L10 "Here will you understand there is no pain."
W191L2 "There is no sound that does not speak of frailty within you and without; no breath you draw that does not seem to bring you nearer death; no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears."
W191L3 "Deny your own identity and you will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural and ghostly thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God."
W191L5 "And from this place of safety and escape you will return and set it free."
W191L6 "You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror, with the world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart."
W191L9 "Yet when you accord it mercy, will its mercy shine on you."
W191L10 "But it will end in the reflection of his holiness."
W191L10 "And we will sleep no more and dream of death."
W192L1 "It is your Father's holy Will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its Name, forever one with God and with your Self."
W192L5 "It cannot think that it will die, nor be the prey of merciless attack."
W192L6 "With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind."
W192L9 "And it will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free."
W192L10 "Forgive him now his sins, and you will see that you are one with him."
W193L1 "Yet His Will extends to what He does not understand, in that He wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him."
W193L1 "This is His Will."
W193L1 "And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done."
W193L2 "Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his erring sight, and give him vision that will lead him back to where perception ceases."
W193L3 "His Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the Son He loves."
W193L3 "It is this: "Forgive and you will see this differently.""
W193L5 ""Forgive and you will see this differently.""
W193L10 "We will attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one day."
W193L11 "Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they will disappear."
W193L12 "Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time."
W193L13 "To all that speaks of terror, answer thus: "I will forgive and this will disappear.""
W193L13 "God will take this final step Himself."
W194L4 "And you will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present in His hands as well, because the past will punish you no more, and future dread will now be meaningless."
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."
W194L6 "And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is saved."
W194L7 "He is sure that his perception may be faulty, but will never lack correction."
W194L9 "If we forget, we will be gently reassured."
W194L9 "If we accept an unforgiving thought, it will be seen replaced by love's reflection."
W194L9 "And if we are tempted to attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for us that leaves temptation far behind."
W195L4 "We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom."
W195L4 "It will never be that some are loosed while others still are bound, for who can bargain in the Name of love?"
W195L5 "And let your gratitude make room for all who will escape with you; the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death."

W195L10 "Our gratitude will pave the way to Him, and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever dream of."
W196L1 "When this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you will not attempt to harm yourself, nor make your body slave to vengeance."
W196L1 "You will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself."
W196L1 "You will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself."
W196L1 "And you will understand his safety is your own, and in his healing you are healed."
W196L2 "Perhaps at first you will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we practice for today."
W196L3 "For the ways in which the ego would distort the truth will not deceive you longer."
W196L3 "You will not believe you are a body to be crucified."
W196L3 "And you will see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of liberation and of life."
W196L6 "And he will not perceive its foolishness, nor even see that it is there so that it would be possible to question it."
W196L7 "To question it at all, its form must first be changed at least as much as will permit fear of retaliation to abate, and the responsibility returned to some extent to you."
W196L8 "Our next steps will be easy, if you take this one today."
W196L12 "Yet your redemption, too, will come from you."
W197L1 "And so you think God's gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat you of defenses to ensure that when He strikes He will not fail to kill."
W197L2 "Nor will you leave the prison house or claim your strength until guilt and salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and salvation are perceived as joined, with strength beside them, to be sought and claimed and found and fully recognized."
W197L5 "Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love and adding to your never-ending joy, while you forgive but to attack again."
W197L6 "Withdraw the gifts you give, and you will think that what is given you has been withdrawn."

W198L6 "His Words will work."
W198L6 "His Words will save."
W198L6 "Those who hear His Words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words in which all will merge as one at last."
W198L6 "And as this one will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for It will be remembered then and loved."
W198L7 "You may think They have accepted, but if you will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood you will perceive a miracle instead."
W198L13 "And we are glad that we have come this far, and recognize that He Who brought us here will not forsake us now."
W199L4 "For this, the body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do."
W199L5 "There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help the world, nor none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well."
W199L8 "Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you, God's Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks at the increase of joy your practice brings even to it."
W200L1 "You will not find peace except the peace of God."
W200L5 "You will be bound 'til all the world is seen by you as blessed, and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is."
W200L7 "There is no peace except the peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same as His."

W208L1 "I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me."
W208L1 "And in that stillness, we will find the peace of God."
W210L1 "It is not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will."
W210L1 "His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son."
W212L1 "Only this I seek, and only this will I accept as mine."

W220IN23 "We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire."
W220IN23 "Nor will we forget our hourly remembrance, in between calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget our goal."
W220IN24 "We will continue with a central thought for all the days to come."
W220IN24 "And we will use that thought to introduce our times of rest, and calm our minds at need."
W220IN24 "Yet we will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining holy instants which conclude the year that we have given God."
W220IN24 "We have called on Him, and He has promised that His Son will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name."
W220IN25 "We will offer it, and it will be accepted."
W220IN25 "So our times with Him will now be spent."
W220IN26 "He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so."
W220IN26 "And you could have never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will."
W220IN28 "And we know that You will not forget us now."
W220IN28 "We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your Will to keep."
W220IN28 "We will with You in asking this."
W220IN28 "The Father and the Son, Whose holy Will created all that is, can fail in nothing."
W220IN28 "In this certainty, we undertake these last few steps to You, and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which will not fail the Son who calls to You."
W220IN210 "A moment more, and It will rise again."
W220IN211 "For in this final section we will come to understand that we need only call to God, and all temptations disappear."
W220IN211 "We will accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it started."
W220IN212 "From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should come afterwards."

W226L1 "If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me."

W227L1 ""Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours."
W227L1 "I thought to make another will."
W227L1 "Father, I know my will is one with Yours.""

W246L2 ""I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father."
W246L2 "For in that will I succeed, because it is Your Will."
W246L2 "And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well, and only that."
W247L1 "Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer."
W250W42 "The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is true."
W250W43 "And God Himself has lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be no more."
W250W45 "How long, oh Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin?"
W250W45 "How soon will you be ready to come home?"
W253L1 "For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them, and Him Who has created me."
W253L2 "My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your Will in perfect union with my own, Which can but offer glad assent to Yours, that It may be extended to Itself.""

W260W55 "You will identify with what you think will make you safe."
W260W55 "Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you."
W261L1 "I will identify with what I think is refuge and security."
W261L1 "I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe, and cannot be attacked."
W261L1 "And only there will I remember Who I really am."
W264L2 "Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?"
W265L2 "Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation's gentleness.""
W268L1 "For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me."
W268L1 "In Love was I created, and in Love will I remain forever."
W270L1 "Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give."
W270L1 "And now his will is one with Yours."
W270L2 "The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone."
W270W62 "For hope forever will abide in Him."
W270W63 "Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory, and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at last."
W270W64 "He will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the end of dreams."
W270W65 "And how long will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning now is over, and the goal of the Atonement has been reached at last?"
W270W65 "As we behold His glory, will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His Son."
W272L1 "My home is set in Heaven by Your Will and mine."
W272L1 "I will accept no less than You have given me."
W272L2 "And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear."
W274L1 "Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.""
W274L2 "Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto Love."
W275L1 "Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and understand."
W275L2 "For Your Voice will tell me what to do, and where to go; to whom to speak, and what to say to him; what thoughts to think; what words to give the world."
W277L2 "And he can not be bound unless God's Truth can lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself."
W279L2 ""I will accept Your promises today, and give my faith to them."
W280W73 "And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile, to restore your mind to where it truly is at home."
W280W74 "Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you."
W280W74 "And the memory of all your Father's Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has come."
W281L2 "I will not hurt myself today."
W285L1 "I ask but them to come and realize my invitations will be answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me."
W285L1 "And I will ask for only joyous things, the instant I accept my holiness."
W286L2 "The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the way, and travelled far along it, to a wholly certain goal."
W286L2 "Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us."
W288L1 "Let me not cherish it within my heart, or I will lose the way to walk to You."
W288L2 "And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness."
W290L2 ""With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but do Your Will."
W290L2 "What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness today.""
W292L1 "Yet it is up to us when this is reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His."
W292L1 "And while we think this will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all trials we see, and every situation that we meet."
W292L1 "For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven."
W292L1 "We will seek and we will find according to His Will, Which guarantees that our will is done."
W296L1 "For having damned it, I would set it free that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.""
W297L1 "And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself."
W298L1 "I accept instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved; sure that I go through fear to meet my Love."
W299L1 "Our Will, together, understands it."
W299L1 "And our Will, together, knows that it is so."
W299L2 "For Holiness Itself created me and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that You be known.""
W300W93 "The Second Coming ends the lessons which the Holy Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and reaching up to God."
W300W93 "The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to the hands of Christ, to be returned to Spirit in the Name of true creation and the Will of God."
W300W94 "For every one who ever came to die, or yet will come or who is present now, is equally released from what he made."
W300W95 "Pray that this Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with that."
W300W95 "Let us rejoice that we can do God's Will, and join together in Its holy light."
W301L1 "This is my home, because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will."
W301L1 "And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone."
W301L1 "Father, I will not judge Your world today.""
W301L2 "But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world today."
W304L1 "And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me."
W305L2 ""Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved."
W307L1 ""Father, Your Will is mine, and only That."
W307L1 "There is no other will for me to have."
W307L1 "Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain."
W307L1 "Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists."
W307L1 "If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible."
W307L1 "Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.""
W307L2 "And with this prayer, we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God's in recognition that they are but one."
W309L1 "Within me is Eternal Innocence, because it is God's Will that It be there forever and forever."
W309L1 "I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His own, can will no change in this."
W309L1 "For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own."
W309L1 "To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is."
W309L1 "I fear to look within because I think I made another will which is not true, and made it real."
W310L1 "And what I will experience is not of time at all."
W310L1 "This day will be your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the sign Your grace has come to me, and that it is Your Will that I be free today.""
W310W102 "Bodies now are useless, and will therefore fade away, because the Son of God is limitless."
W310W104 "And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free."
W311L1 "He will relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have made against yourself, and re-establish peace of mind by giving you God's Judgment of His Son."
W312L2 "Father, this is Your Will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.""
W313L1 "And Love will come wherever it is asked."
W314L1 "Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided."
W314L1 "Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes, and sure that You will keep Your present Promises, and guide the future in their holy light.""
W316L2 "Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I want.""
W317L1 "But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well."
W319L1 "But where there is no arrogance, the truth will come immediately, and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by his."
W319L1 "And yet it is the Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all."
W319L2 " "Father, Your Will is total, and the goal that stems from It shares Its totality."
W319L2 "And what but this could be the Will my Self has shared with You?""
W320L1 "His holy will can never be denied, because his Father shines upon his mind, and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven."
W320L1 "I am he in whom the power of my Father's Will abides."
W320L1 ""Your Will can do all things in me, and then extend to all the world as well through me."
W320L1 "There is no limit on Your will."
W320W111 "Nor will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any pain."
W320W112 "What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began."
W320W113 "Creation is the holy Son of God, for in Creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the whole."
W320W113 "Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness."
W320W114 "Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us."
W321L1 "You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me."
W321L1 "Father, it is my will that I return.""
W321L2 "Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us."
W324L1 "Your loving Voice will always call me back, and guide my feet aright."
W326L1 "Where You established me I still abide, and all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your Will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable."
W326L1 "Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth will disappear, and separate things unite in glory as the Son of God.""
W326L2 "Let us today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy Will."
W327L1 "For God has promised He will hear my call, and answer me Himself."
W327L1 "This is the faith that will endure, and take me farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him."
W327L1 "For thus I will be sure that He has not abandoned me, and loves me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I need to come to Him."
W327L2 ""Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my experience, if I but test them out."
W328L1 "It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained."
W328L1 "This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will."
W328L1 "And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will."
W328L2 ""There is no will but Yours."
W328L2 "It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace."
W328L2 "And happily I share that Will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.""
W329L1 ""Father,I wandered from Your Will, defied It, broke Its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours."
W329L1 "Yet what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending."
W329L1 "And This will never change."
W329L1 "And This I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours."
W329L1 "Father, my will is Yours."
W329L1 "And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so.""
W329L2 "Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source."
W329L2 "We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us."
W330L1 "The mind that is made willing to accept God's gifts has been restored to Spirit, and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its own."
W330W121 "It is the will that sees the Will of God as enemy, and takes a form in which It is denied."
W330W122 "In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself, and in its terrible autonomy it "sees" the Will of God has been destroyed."
W330W125 "Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself."
W330W125 "And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling-place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him."
W331L1 "There is no will except the Will of Love."
W331L1 "Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours."
W331L1 "There is no opposition to Your Will."
W331L1 "There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.""
W331L2 "Forgiveness shows us that God's Will is one, and that we share It."
W333L2 "For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.""
W334L1 "I will not wait another day to find the treasures which my Father offers me."
W334L2 "This Your Will for me, for thus will I behold my sinlessness.""
W335L1 "And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light."
W338L1 "Yet God has planned that His beloved Son will be redeemed."
W338L2 "All other plans will fail."
W338L2 "And I will have thoughts that will frighten me until I learn that You have given me the only Thought Which leads me to salvation."
W338L2 "Mine alone will fail and lead me nowhere."
W339L1 "Everyone will receive what he requests."
W339L1 "He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering."
W340L1 ""Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring."
W340L1 "This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed."
W340L1 " For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering."
W340L2 "Not one of us but will be saved today."
W340L2 "Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love."
W340W134 "Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there."
W340W134 "And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought you saw."
W344L1 "And as I looked upon the treasure which I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was, or is or will be."
W344L1 "Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth."
W345L2 "It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received."
W346L1 "And so begins a day I share with You as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today."
W346L1 "I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them."
W346L2 "And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God."
W346L2 "For we will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except God's Love."
W347L1 ""Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have."
W347L1 "I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your own."
W347L1 "And He will speak for me, and call Your miracle to come to me.""
W348L2 "And only that we choose to be our will as well as His."
W349L1 "It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give."
W350L1 "Only Your memory will set me free."
W350L2 "And as we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful."
W350L2 "For as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the Reality of Love."
W350W143 "Knowledge will return when we have done our part."
W350W145 "And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God."
W352L1 "Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind."
W353L1 ""Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose which I share with Him."
W355L1 "For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile."
W356L1 "He is Your Son, and You will answer him."
W359L1 ""Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your own."
W360FL1 "Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible."
W360FL3 "For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself."
W360FL5 "We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son."
W360FL6 "Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His own Words to you."
W360FL6 "And more than that can no one ever have, for in these Words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity."
W361L1 "If I need a word to help me, He will give it to me."
W361L1 "If I need a thought, that will He also give."
W361L1 "And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him."
W361L1 "And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son."
W362L1 "If I need a word to help me, He will give it to me."
W362L1 "If I need a thought, that will He also give."

W365L1 "And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son."
W365EP1 "Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him."
W365EP1 "He will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you."
W365EP1 "You need but ask it of him, and it will be given you."
W365EP2 "Therefore obey your will, and follow Him Whom you accepted as your voice, to speak of what you really want and really need."
W365EP3 "He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His certain Word."
W365EP4 "Nor will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the good."
W365EP4 "He will continue; now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as He of how you should proceed, as confident as He is of the goal, and of your safe arrival in the end."
W365EP5 "We will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a choice to make."
W365EP5 "And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you not, and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach."
W365EP5 "In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him."
W365EP5 "In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His will in everything we do."
W365EP5 "His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I will never leave you comfortless."
M1A2 "The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice."
M2A2 "Many hear it but few will answer."
M2A2 "Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off."
M2A4 "There was never a question of outcome, for what can change the Will of God?"
M3A1 "Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God's teachers, and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call."
M3A1 "They were chosen for him because the form of the universal curriculum that he will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding."
M3A1 "Time waits on his choice, but not whom he will serve."
M3A1 "When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach will be provided for him."
M3A2 "Further, the plan for this correction was established and completed simultaneously, for the Will of God is entirely apart from time."
M3A3 "Because your will is free you can accept what has already happened at any time you choose, and only then will you realize that it was always there."
M3A3 "As the course emphasizes, you are not free to choose the curriculum, or even the form in which you will learn it."
M3A4 "God's Will in everything but seems to take time in the working-out."
M4A1 "Those who are to meet will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship."
M4A2 "Perhaps the seeming strangers in the elevator will smile to one another, perhaps the man will not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students will become friends."
M4A2 "That moment will be enough."
M4A3 "Perhaps the best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of God's plan for Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His Will."
M4A4 "Each teaching-learning situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved will learn the most that he can from the other person at that time."
M4A4 "Yet all who meet will someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to become holy."
M5A1 "Nor at the beginning stages of their functioning as teachers of God, have they yet acquired the deeper characteristics that will establish them as what they are."
M5B3 "And so the plan will sometimes call for changes in what seem to be external circumstances."
M5B4 "He will find that many, if not most of the things he valued before will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned to new situations as they arise."
M5B4 "Because he has valued what is really valueless, he will not generalize the lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice."
M5B5 "If this is interpreted as giving up the desirable it will engender enormous conflict."
M5B6 "He will not go on from here alone."
M5C2 "They can only succeed, because they never do their will alone."
M5E1 "It will make him confused, fearful, angry and suspicious."
M5E1 "It will make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn."
M5E2 "And so their will, which always was His Own, is free to be itself."
M5I1 "The time will be as right as is the answer."
M6B2 "And if he is responsible for his thoughts he will be killed, to prove to him how weak and pitiful he is."
M6C2 "If he decides against recovery he will not be healed."
M6C3 "It costs the world we see, for the world will never again appear to rule the mind."
M6C4 "Place cause and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the learning will generalize and transform the world."
M6D3 "So are they dispelled, not by the will of another, but by the union of the One Will with Itself."
M6D3 "And this is the function of God's teachers; to see no will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from God's."
M7A2 "Healing will always stand aside when it would be seen as threat."
M7A2 "Where healing has been given it will be received."
M7A2 "Let him be certain it has been received, and trust that it will be accepted when it is recognized as a blessing and not a curse."
M7A3 "Trust is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver will not lose, but only gain."
M9A3 "The body's eyes will never see except through differences."
M9A4 "Unrecognized by itself, it has itself asked to be given what will fit into these categories."
M9A5 "Will he agree more quickly to the unreality of a louder voice he hears than to that of a softer one?"
M9A5 "Will he dismiss more easily a whispered demand to kill than a shout?"
M9A5 "When he realizes they are all illusions they will disappear."
M9A6 "The body's eyes will continue to see differences, but the mind which has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them."
M9A6 "There will be those who seem to be "sicker" than others, and the body's eyes will report their changed appearances as before."
M9A6 "But the mind will put them all in one category - they are unreal."
M11A6 "Teacher of God, this step will bring you peace."
M13A1 "Thus does He share God's Will, and bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds."
M13A4 "And these ears will carry to the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this world, and the mind will understand because of their Source."
M13A4 "From this understanding will come the recognition, in this new teacher of God, of what the body's purpose really is; the only use there really is for it."
M13A5 "The central lesson is always this; that what you use the body for, it will become to you."
M13A5 "Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful."
M13A5 "God's Voice will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It tells him what his function is."
M14A1 "Like all things in the world its meaning is temporary, and will ultimately fade into the nothingness from which it came when there is no more use for it."
M14A6 "And if they stay, you will remain with them."
M14A7 "Yet a split in which you surely will believe, because you have set up a situation that is impossible."
M15A1 "The world will end in an illusion, as it began."
M15A1 "Yet will its ending be an illusion of mercy."
M15A1 "The illusion of forgiveness, complete, excluding no-one, limitless in gentleness, will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all sin and ending guilt forever."
M15A2 "The world will end when all things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment."
M15A2 "The world will end with the benediction of holiness upon it."
M15A2 "It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor even touched."
M15A2 "It will merely cease to seem to be."
M15A3 "Not one thought of sin will remain the instant any one of them accepts the Atonement for himself."
M15A4 "The world will end when its thought system has been completely reversed."
M15A4 "Until then, bits and pieces of its thinking will still seem sensible."
M15A4 "His Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will show him how to learn it."
M15A5 "The world will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow."
M15A5 "The world will end in peace because it is a place of war."
M15A5 "The world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears."
M15A5 "In blessing it departs, for it will not end as it began."
M15A5 "His Will be done."
M16A1 "But the final judgment will not come until it is no longer associated with fear."
M16A1 "One day each one will welcome it, and on that very day it will be given him."
M16A1 "He will hear his sinlessness proclaimed around and around the world, setting it free as God's final judgment on him is received."
M16A1 "This is the judgment that will set him free."
M16A2 "One instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to Certainty."
M16A3 "You will be judged, and judged in fairness and in honesty."
M16A3 "His promises have guaranteed His judgment, and His alone, will be accepted in the end."
M17A1 "He will be told all that his role should be, this day and every day."
M17A1 "And those who share that role with him will find him, so they can learn the lessons for the day together."
M17A4 "You may find that the difficulty will diminish and drop away."
M17A5 "If it is expedient to spend this time earlier, at least be sure that you do not forget a brief period,- not more than a moment will do,- in which you close your eyes and think of God."
M17A6 "Your defenses will not work, but you are not in danger."
M17A6 "Recognize this and they will disappear."
M17A6 "And only then will you accept your real protection."
M17A7 "He has a Guide Who will not fail."
M17A7 "He is as safe in the present as he was before illusions were accepted into his mind, and as he will be when he has let them go."
M17A8 "Yet there will be temptations along the way the teacher of God has yet to travel, and he has need of reminding himself throughout the day of his protection."
M17A8 "He can but try, and his success depends on his conviction that he will succeed."
M17A8 "He must be sure success is not of him, but will be given him at any time, in any place and circumstance he calls for it."
M17A8 "There are times his certainty will waver, and the instant this occurs he will return to earlier attempts to place reliance on himself alone."
M17A9 "For all temptation is nothing more than the attempt to substitute another will for God's."
M17A9 "All intermediate lessons will but lead to this, and bring this goal nearer to recognition."
M17A10 "There is no substitute for the Will of God."
M17A11 ""There is no will but God's.""
M18A2 "Nor should it be forgotten that the outcome that results will always come to teacher and to pupil."
M18A2 "For he will give only what he has chosen for himself."
M18A3 "This then is easily responded to with just one answer, and this answer will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly."
M18A4 "Perhaps it will be helpful to remember that no-one can be angry at a fact."
M18A5 "It states, in the clearest form possible, that the mind which thinks it believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of God and succeed."
M18A7 "But what will now be your reaction to all magic thoughts?"
M19A2 "Now is He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they will gladly be returned to Him."
M21A3 "For what except attack will lead to war?"
M21A4 "Returning anger, in whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return."
M21A4 "Now must you once again lay down your sword, although you will not recognize that you have picked it up again."
M21A4 "But you will learn, as you remember even faintly now what happiness was yours without it, that you must have taken it again as your defense."
M21A5 "Forgive the world, and you will understand that everything which God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did not create is real."
M21A6 "No more than this; the simple understanding that His Will is wholly without opposite."
M21A6 "There is no thought that contradicts His Will, yet can be true."
M21A6 "The contrast between His Will and yours but seemed to be reality."
M21A6 "In truth there is no conflict, because His Will is yours."
M21A6 "Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to you."
M21A6 "The Will of God is One and all there is."
M21A6 "God's peace is the condition for His Will."
M22A3 "The prayer for things of this world will bring experiences of this world."
M22A3 "If the prayer of the heart asks for this, this will be given because this will be received."
M22A4 "Gradually, he learns how to let his words be chosen for him by ceasing to decide for himself what he will say."
M22A4 "This process is merely a special case of the Workbook lesson "I will step back and let Him lead the way.""
M23A2 "He has decided on the direction he will take."
M23A5 "He will, in fact, be unable to recognize his brother at all, for his Father did not create bodies, and so he is seeing in a brother only the unreal."
M23A7 "Yet this will not be understood until God's teacher recognizes that they are the same mistake."
M24A1 "Even the most advanced of God's teachers will give way to temptation in this world."
M24A3 "Remember his promises, and ask yourself honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep them."
M24A6 "He will take you with him, for he did not go alone."
M25A3 "His ego will be enough for him to cope with, and it is not the part of wisdom to add sectarian controversies to his burdens."
M25A4 "If there are aspects to any concept or belief that will be helpful, he will be told about it."
M25A4 "He will also be told how to use it."
M25A6 "All beliefs will point to this if properly interpreted."
M26A1 "Let all his learning and all his effort be directed toward this one great final surprise, and he will not be content to be delayed by the little ones that may come to him on the way."
M26A3 "Taken as ends in themselves, no matter how this is done, will delay progress."
M26A4 "Yet what is not given to the Holy Spirit must be given to weakness, for what is withheld from love is given to fear, and will be fearful in consequence."
M26A5 "It is almost inevitable that, unless the individual changes his mind about its purpose, he will bolster its uncertainties with increasing deception."
M27A2 "And they will appear when and where it is helpful for them to do so."
M27A2 "The time will come when this is understood."
M27A4 "Nor will its coming be long delayed."
M27A4 "All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met."
M28A1 "The cyclical, the changing and unsure; the undependable and the unsteady, waxing and waning in a certain way upon a certain path, - all this is taken as the Will of God."
M28A1 "And no-one asks if a benign Creator could will this."
M28A4 "The curious belief that there is part of dying things that may go on apart from what will die does not proclaim a loving God, nor re-establish any grounds for trust."
M28A4 "The world attempts a thousand compromises, and will attempt a thousand more."
M28A6 ""And the last to be overcome will be death.""
M28A6 "All dreams will end with this one."
M29A3 "How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and envelop such a world!"
M29A5 "As God created us so will we be forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our own."
M29A5 "Illusions of another will are lost, for unity of purpose has been found."
M30A2 "Ask and He will answer."
M30A5 "If you have made it a habit to ask for help when and where you can, you can be confident that wisdom will be given you when you need it."
M30A5 "And your confidence will be well founded indeed."
M30A6 "Does this mean that, while attack remains attractive to you He will respond with evil?"
M30A6 "He may ask for injury, but his father will protect him still."
U1A2 "All terms are potentially controversial, and those who seek controversy will find it."
U1A2 "Yet those who seek clarification will find it as well."
U1A4 "The ego will demand many answers this course does not give."
U1A5 "You will notice that the emphasis on structural issues in the course is brief and early."
U2A4 "Spirit retains the potential for creating, but its Will which is God's, seems to be imprisoned while the mind is not unified."
U2A4 "Creation continues unabated because that is the Will of God."
U2A4 "This Will is always unified, and therefore has no meaning in this world."
U2A5 "Therefore it is not the ONE-MINDEDNESS of the Christ Mind, Whose Will is One with God's."
U2A6 "Will is not involved in perception at any level, and has nothing to do with choice."
U3A1 "Illusions will not last."
U3A7 "But look at all the aspects of THIS dream, and you will never question any more."
U3A9 "Ask this instead of what the ego is, and you will see a sudden brightness cover up the world the ego made."
U4A2 "They cannot go directly from perception to knowledge because they do not think it is their will to do so."
U4A3 "He is not at all concerned with form, but having given the content it is His Will that it be understood."
U4A5 "It is a symbol, too, but as the symbol of His Will alone it cannot be divided."
U4A5 "And so the Unity that it reflects becomes His Will."
U4A6 "God's Will is all there is."
U4A6 "And yet this part will vanish."
U4A6 "What remains is peace eternal and the Will of God."
U4A7 "But Will is constant, as the gift of God."
U5A1 "Yet there is nothing in the world you see that will endure forever."
U5A1 "Some things will last in time a little while longer than others."
U5A1 "But the time will come when all things visible will have an end."
U5A2 "For everything they see not only will not last, but lends itself to thoughts of sin and guilt."
U5A3 "It will not endure."
U5A5 "And what you then will overlook will not be understandable to you, just as its presence once had been your certainty."
U5A8 "Oh my brothers, if you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is."
U6A1 "Beyond each one there is a Thought of God, and this will never change."
U6A1 "Their names are legion, but we will not go beyond the names the course itself employs."
U6A1 "Thank God for them for they will lead you home."
U6A5 "He will remain with you to lead you from the hell you made to God."
U6A5 "And when you join your will with his, your sight will be his vision, for the eyes of Christ are shared."
U6A5 "For he will set your mind at rest at last and carry it with you unto your God."
U6A6 "Yet he would help you yet a little more if you will share your pains and joys with him, and leave them both to find the peace of God."
U7A2 "All power in Heaven and earth is therefore given him and he will share it with you when you have completed yours."
U7A3 "And He brings the Love of your Father to you in an eternal shining that will never be obliterated because God has put it there."
U7A5 "And you will be with him when time is over, and no trace remains of dreams of spite in which you dance to death's thin melody."
U8A1 "Doubt along the way will come and go and go to come again."
U8A2 "Ask but my help to roll the stone away, and it is done according to His Will."
U8A5 "Now we know that we will never lose the way again."
U8A5 "What is here begun will grow in life and strength and hope, until the world is still an instant and forgets all that the dream of sin had made of it."
U8A6 "Let us go out and meet the newborn world, knowing that Christ has been reborn in it, and that the holiness of this rebirth will last forever."
P2A4 "And he will fight against his freedom because he thinks that it is slavery."
P2A5 "His Teacher will take him on from there, as far as he is ready to go."
P3A4 "Hopefully, both will learn to give up their original goals, for it is only in relationships that salvation can be found."
P3B1 "It may be they will not get much further, for no-one learns beyond his own readiness."
P3B1 "Yet levels of readiness change, and when therapist or patient has reached the next one, there will be a relationship held out to them that meets the changing need."
P3B1 "Perhaps they will come together again and advance in the same relationship, making it holier."
P3B1 "Or perhaps each of them will enter into another commitment."
P3B1 "Be assured of this; each will progress."
P3B2 "These interpretations will be wrong of necessity, because they are delusional."
P3B3 "But He will wait, and His patience is infinite."
P3B4 "And this will one day come to pass for every "patient" on the face of this earth, for who except a patient could possibly have come here?"
P3B4 "Yet they both will find sanity at last."
P3C1 "Relationships are still the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and they will be made perfect in time and restored to Eternity."
P3C4 "This will come when psychotherapy is complete, for where there is forgiveness truth must come."
P3C5 "Yet if pupil and teacher join in sharing one goal, God will enter into their relationship because He has been invited to come in."
P3C5 "Together they can find a pathway out, for no-one will find sanity alone."
P3C7 "They can succeed where many who believe they have found God will fail."
P3D1 "Without this One, both will merely stumble blindly on to nowhere."
P3D2 "The willingness may come from either one at the beginning, and as the other shares it, it will grow."
P3E2 "It has been asked for and will be received."
P3E3 "Healing is therapy or correction, and we have said already and will say again, all therapy is psychotherapy."
P3E7 "It will escape and take another form, being the source of all illusions."
P3E9 "A madman will defend his own illusions because in them he sees his own salvation."
P3E9 "Thus, he will attack the one who tries to save him from them, believing that he is attacking him."
P3E11 "Given this single shift, all else will follow."
P3F2 "What they believe will help can only harm; what they believe will harm alone can help."
P3F2 "Yet it must be taught to those who think it will endanger them."
P3F2 "It must be taught to those who will attack because they feel endangered, and to those who need the lesson of defenselessness above all else, to show them what is strength."
P3F4 "And He has guaranteed that He will hear and answer them in truth."
P3F4 "They can be sure that healing is a process He directs, because it is according to His Will."
P3F6 "The limits laid on both the patient and the therapist will count as nothing, for the healing has begun."
P3F6 "What man must start his Father will complete."
P3F6 "And He will send His Answer through the therapist who best can serve His Son in all his present needs."
P3F7 "And the truth will come to us only through one who seems to share our dream of sickness."
P3F7 "And as we see the sinlessness in him come shining through the veil of guilt that shrouds the Son of God, we will behold in him the Face of Christ, and understand that it is but our own."
P3F8 "Let us stand silently before God's Will, and do what It has chosen that we do."
P3F8 "And it is there that we will lay them down, to come away in peace forever."
P3F8 "It will be God to Whom you answer, for you called on Him."
P3G3 "Yet it will not permit its slaves to change the forms they look upon; the sounds they hear."
P3G5 "So closely is one translated into the other, that a careful study of the form a sickness takes will point quite clearly to the form of unforgiveness that it represents."
P3G5 "Yet seeing this will not effect a cure."
P3G6 "Let him retain one spot of sin in what he looks upon, and his release is partial and will not be sure."
P3G7 "Yet will the proof of sinlessness, seen in the patient and accepted in the therapist, offer the mind of both a covenant in which they meet and join and are as one."
P3H3 "Nor will it return again, once its cause has been removed."
P3H7 "But he will not succeed except to some extent and for a little while."
P3H7 "Behold your God in him, for what you see will be your Answer."
P3H9 "But if you fail in that, you have denied that God created you, and so you will not know you are His Son."
P4A2 "There is Something in him that will tell you, if you listen."
P4A3 "This may be hard to remember, but God will not have His gifts to you limited to the few you actually see."
P4A3 "You will recognize them in whatever way can be most helpful to both of you."
